>Some people have actually had good luck with Oracle Linux but that’s very much an individual (or corporate) choice to consider.

Jup for enterprise, OracleLinux it is. I don't like Oracle as any normal person would, but they never did some shady stuff with their Linux, it even works perfectly on a Raspberry PI.
I'm curious about the inclusion of the word "adult" in the headline and article. Do children hold alternative views on tax policy?
Not sure I understand, what has the EU done to encourage a credit card monopoly? That there's basically a world wide Visa/MC duopoly isn't something the EU has actively encouraged as far as I know, only regulated as you mentioned.

For banking transfers there's SEPA so assuming a similar system could be set up for credit cards.
Well, it's how it's supposed to work
I've shared the sources in other threads. Here are some random ones I found with a few minutes of googling [https://oldgrowthforestecology.org/ecological-values-of-old-...

Most of these products do actually end up sequestering carbon nearly indefinitely, as unless the house or structure burns down, the product ends up in the landfill or remains on site. Unlike forest products on the forest floor, they don't naturally decompose - we protect them to stop that, as a side effect of how we use them.

Because it is usually pretty well protected, and doesn't meaningfully decompose. Even in most (sufficiently old) landfills, you can dig up newspapers from the late 1800's and still read them. When people print things out, the vast majority of them end up shredded (and tossed in the trash), or just tossed in the trash - which ends up landfilling them, etc.

Once landfilled, what decomposition does happen can be mitigated by processing/burning/storing what methane and the like does come off them.

You're confusing carbon storage (as in total retained) with carbon flux (as in net amounts in/out). Something that old growth folks intentionally also do (first link), near as I can tell, to specifically confuse the issue. If you read carefully you can see them stepping around the issue in the first link I pointed you too.

TOTAL carbon starts to plateau relatively quickly, even as noted by old growth proponents - with total carbon flux dropping and eventually being roughly at equilibrium - usually well before we even consider a forest 'old growth'. If you look at the charts in the second link, you can see the actual curve.

Peak flux (as in total negative carbon) is usually at around 15-20 years.

I'm not proposing we cut down all old growth forests. That would be ugly and counterproductive.

Rather that making a forest that has already been cut down be untouched until it becomes old growth is not the most efficient way to reduce carbon, if we're trying to use forests as carbon sinks.

Be aware however, I've done the math before and even if we turn ALL potentially forestable AND farmable land into forests, it is impossible to sink all the carbon we're currently emitting into forests. Not even close, unfortunately.

But if land has already been harvested (which most has), the more efficient way to reduce carbon is a decent amount of turnover where the products end up going into either durable goods, or landfilled products.

I love trees, and spend a lot of time in nature. I've also done the research, and looked at the reality in front of me, and it's hard to ignore.
I _am_ very sorry. I just couldn't help myself :). loved to read this blog though haha. Took it much too serious for the most part :')
ohh wow but why switch away from PlanetScale though? and I think Supabase also serve a dedicated Postgres DB (that is powering the BaaS) and we can use Supabase just for database hosting as well.

> If Apple feels these rules are so just and fair and indispuitably correct, why does it go to such measures to hide them from its consumers?

Because if would harm shareholder value. You don't need a more complicated explanation about the whole situation.
A very similar thing is also just built in to the screenshot tool, at least in Windows 11, easier for me to use since it's the same keybind as always to take a screenshot, then it's just a tool in it.
That the chips support data storage doesn't mean that that feature is used. There are systems that use MIFARE Ultralight cards for the UID alone just because they are cheap and easily sourced.

"10% of global revenue" - What does EU have to do with GLOBAL revenue? Where is the logic in that.
I went pretty far in the direction of these features on my personal sites in the 2010s. They are fun coding and design challenges.

Nowadays I am going the other direction. For the most recent design on my personal site, I even have a “no footnotes” rule, on the theory that (for me at least) footnotes can be an indication of scattered thinking and/or insufficient editing.
As a user I really like the fact that Apple is the only one with my payment informations. I can safely install any app that I want, get subscription, in-apps etc without ever having to wonder where my payment informations are going.

You can't have that level of safety with API. Nothing prevents a dev from building an API that returns always "200 OK" when being called for a "terminate subscription" action, but that does nothing under the hood. If I unsubscribe from an Apple provided UI, I will hold Apple responsible for the execution of the action. Apple works really really hard to make sure that this trust we have in their system is warranted. As we know, trust is hard-earned, easily lost, and difficult to reestablish. So all it takes is a single bad experience to make me doubt everything else.

The current system allows Apple to control 100% of the process and to be fully responsible for everything.

That being said, Apple should allow users to perform all these operations outside of the iOS ecosystem if the developer allows it. I feel there is a clear communication here that "anything done outside of the Apple UI's is not the responsibility of Apple" (including payment / subscription management).
I mean, vape nerds had this figured out years ago with designs that used standardized 18650 or similar cells in bodies that were designed to be user serviceable. We went backwards from there with the shift towards vapes with rechargable but non-replacable batteries, and then to batteries that can't even be recharged.
Modeling a group of people, answerable to yet another, even larger group of people, as “a person” is what I would call even worse modeling.
Not in the worst case.
Does anyone know if Embark are still using a lot of rust in their production games? They seem to be a very well funded studio (lots of employees, big fancy office, competes with other AAA FPS-games). I wonder if these experimental-sounding projects have given way to more classic tech in the churn of building games that are profitable.
I find that the subject under study dominates my sense of fun, no matter the format of that studying.

AFAICT, Mastodon seems to scale quite well. Not without issues but they seem to find ways to overcome the biggest hurdles.
Show HN: Run any Llama model finetune and more, instantly
Hi there, looking for feedback on my new project "Featherless.AI"

The idea is to allow users to run all the models on hugging face instantly. Via the OpenAI API compatible endpoint.

Why? Because its a real chore to download models and spin up GPUs, especially if you want to test multiple models. Not to mention GPUs cost multiple dollars an hour to rent. And if we want more people to use open source AI, we got to make it easier for them to try and play with all of them.

So what if instead of spinning up dedicated GPUs per model (which is what every provider is doing)

We can startup a LLM server, which multiple users can share, and instantly hot swap it in seconds the model its serving??? Make sense right, thats what we do for apps, or shared CPU PHP apps.

---

Turns out thats an incredibly complex problem, that even Hugging Face, together AI and various companies had failed to successfully build. Turns out swapping out GB's of data from disk to GPU in subseconds is hard. And involves optimizing every small thing in the chain

- had to setup and tune a high speed storage cluster

- find a GPU provider with crazy networking speed, and would allow you to scale up/down

- custom write a new pipeline for streaming data from high speed storage cluster

- custom write code to stream that data, straight into GPU as fast as possible

After all that, you now have a GPU server, that can serve one model at a time, but can switch models quickly. So to make this idea economical (since im not billing anyone $8/hour)

- you will need to setup a cluster, to handle multiple request concurrently

- while writing routing code, to ensure all the request for the same models go to the same server

- unless it hits the limit, then you need to start load balancing between servers assigned to that model

- and to backoff the load balancing, so that you can free up servers

- to be hot swapped for other request

Oh also downloading 450+ models, apparently takes up tons of TB's, of expensive high speed clustered storage.

But the end result, a highly dynamic scaling (up or down) infrastructure, to the exact cluster workload, for a large collection of HF models (more models then GPUs of course).

All so that people can use "all the open source AI models", for a few dollars a month. While not worrying about token pricing.

So do give it a try, the free trial account can test any 8B model, and a subscribe account has full OpenAI API access. And give us some feedback, and maybe even a product hunt vote!

PS: This is a work in progress, I yet to rewrite the custom pipeline code for non-llama / non-rwkv models, thats why we are starting with only those 2 architectures first. But we do plan to scale to ALL public models on huggingface.

Also downloading the other 1000+ llama models does take a long time.
I don’t know anything about economics, so consider this disclaimer, but if it’s a concern that the 78M batteries per day is a problem, then maybe we should tax batteries a lot more now to control for externalities?
I have `alias s='git status'` and I feel like I'm missing a finger when it's not there.

In no small part because it was a strategic disaster. Iraq went from being a bulwark against Iran to, at best, contested ground.
One is a for-profit company known for anti-competitive and cut-throat techniques, as well as expert in tax dodging over the world.

The other is a governmental group formed by 27 rather different countries, all having a wide range of philosophies, cultures, corruption and mentalities.

Interesting, in my head aptitude was an ubuntu thing so I never tried in debian. Thanks for the tip.

I don't have anything against apt, it's just specific edge cases when it really saved me massive headaches by being able to remove and add during same change without having to remove all apps depending on it.
>Why would you put your business at the mercy of Oracle?

You don't, if Oracle does something fishy you go to your bank take at least 2500$ and above that, 25$/y/instance and switch to "Liberty" Linux ;)

But comparing the reliability and not giving up on their "Free Enterprise Linux" Oracle (since 2006) [1] is funnily by far the best.

The real "Boeing is TBTF" list is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_Defense,_Space_%26_Secu... ; continuity of supply is why forcing them into real non-operating bankruptcy is inconceivable. Nothing more onerous than Chapter 11.

> Especially as we’re lining up for a potential war in the South China Sea, Boeing’s military-industrial ties may actually be what forces those who’d prefer to look the other way to stare down the problem. We can’t win that war, if we have to fight it, with Boeing a shitshow. And we’re more likely to have to fight it every time Beijing sees it’s a shitshow.

So this is a very interesting question, but it's not clear to me whether it can be resolved until the shooting actually starts. WW2 was a huge driver for fixing broken things (USN torpedoes didn't work reliably at the start, for example, in ways that only appeared under live conditions!). The Iraq war was on the other hand a huge opportunity for grift. Pallets of dollar bills vanished. Someone made a lot of money from non-functional mine detectors.

What's the difference? Well, the Iraq and Afghan wars were completely irrelevant and invisible to the Homeland, just a money and lives sink shown on TV, while WW2 kicked off with a bit of Actual America (Hawaii) being bombed.

The China war will probably have no real effects on the US until the GPUs stop arriving, at which point most of NVIDIA's $3tn market cap vanishes and Americans feel it in their retirement accounts. Then, and only then, will people take it seriously enough to overcome corruption.

Ship of Theseus. If you replace every single human at Apple with someone different, it's still Apple. Apple is, at this point, a separate entity, under control by a given group of humans at a given time, but that can change.

The problem is considering "Apple" itself a person, as corporate personhood does. Thinking of companies, even in limited contexts, as a "person" allows the individuals actually making decisions to be largely immune from liability on a personal level. Maybe that should change.

Laws. Existing laws prevent developers from doing that.

This is true.

However, that same system prevent me from buying Kindle books from the Kindle app on device, for example. Even though I can open the browser on that same device and buy them from Amazon.

Most of the subsidies listed in this report are rebates and sales tax exemptions, which benefit people who buy EVs. Those subsidies are also available to foreign manufacturers that sell EVs in China - most notably Tesla.

Very similar subsidies exist in the US, such as federal and state tax credits.
I was thinking about this recently as I added it to a site. The use case is slightly different because the site in question was more data-driven than a blog. One example is viewing an individual item and being able to navigate to the next item in alphabetical order. This uses link elements with the appropriate rel values.

The problem of losing context can be mitigated by having the page return to the previous location on back, something which browsers kinda already do, just not very well.

Alternatively, I assume you'd prefer some kind of modifier? This has problems of its own — e.g. shortcut clashes. YouTube uses comma and full stop as frame next/previous shortcuts — maybe we should standardise on those?

I like to keep it simple. Right now bun just rebuilds everything and it is so fast that I don't recognize it.

If it ever becomes a problem I will optimize it.

The standardDevReloader is a snippet to tell the browser to refresh the page after a rebuild happened.

If you setup a fresh project with the barebones quickstart template with:
bun create spirobel/aldi yournewproject

you will see a dev.ts in the project folder.
compared to the start.ts (which is used to run the prod version) it will setup this snippet, so it is included in every html page that is served.
Show HN: I Built a Tool to Break Free from YouTube's Addictive Algorithm
I built Watchlist to solve a problem that's been nagging at me (and I suspect many others): YouTube's addictive nature and its impact on productivity.

The Problem:

YouTube is an incredible source of knowledge, but its homepage is an unending scroll of rabbit holes. The algorithm is designed to maximize watch time, often at the expense of our intentions and productivity. I found myself wasting hours, jumping from video to video, and then blaming myself for the lack of self-control.

The Solution:

Watchlist! Watchlist is essentially YouTube playlists on steroids. Here's how it works:

1. Create custom "lists" for different topics (e.g., AI, Science, Programming)
2. Add relevant channels to each list
3. Watchlist automatically adds new uploads from these channels to your lists
4. Set custom notification schedules for each list (e.g., every morning at 8 AM, every Sunday at 5 PM)
5. Receive email or push notifications (your choice) when there are new unwatched videos

The result? You stay updated on the content you care about without falling into the YouTube homepage trap.

Tech Stack:

Built with Python, JavaScript, Supabase & Google Cloud Run. (Took six weeks)

Why I Built This:

As an electrical engineer turned software developer, I've always been fascinated by programming. This project combines my love for coding with a real-world problem I've experienced firsthand.

Try It Out:

To make it as easy as possible for you to try Watchlist, I've set up a 1-click dummy login:

http://watchlist.so/login/dummy

This generates a dummy email and password for you, valid for 14 days. Although this account has full access, please note some restrictions:

- You cannot reset the password
- Email notifications are disabled
- Data cannot be migrated to another account
- The account will be deactivated after 14 days

For those who prefer a proper account, you can register normally at: https://watchlist.so/signup

Feedback:

I've seen many people struggle with YouTube addiction without realizing the root cause. If you've faced similar issues or have thoughts on this approach, I'd love to hear your feedback. Your thoughts and suggestions are crucial for improving Watchlist. There's a dedicated feedback page at:

https://watchlist.so/settings/feedback

I'm eager to hear your experiences and ideas! Thanks!

PS: This is my first Show HN. So, please excuse me if I made any mistakes. I tried my best to follow the guidelines.
