I'd recommend reading the Wiki on them. [1] They're not a terrorist organization in the sense that you're thinking. They were an opposition movement in Yemen. Yemen decided to crack down on them, this led to their opposition turning into an insurrection and sparking a civil war. The Houthis defeated not only the government of Yemen but also Saudi Arabia who joined the party. They now have stable control over a large part of Yemen, including all of its western land facing the Suez Canal.

They were designated a terrorist organization at the tail end of Trump's presidency, presumably to garner favor with Saudi Arabia. Biden then removed that designation as relations between Saudi Arabia and US deteriorated. He then put them back on it after they chose to intervene in the Israeli War. In this case it seems the designation is mostly political - not the sort you might associate with loosely clad terror cells that run around blowing random people up.

There have only been two US media reported incidents where they targeted an inappropriate ship, and the truth is not entirely clear in both cases, as both come down to there being a discrepancy or time lag between real ownership and the updating of the public naval sources. And in one of those two cases the ship was also not even damaged, but had some missiles fired over it, and was then followed briefly by several, presumably Houth-linked, small vessels. Presumably there was ongoing communication between the vessel and the Houthis in the interim.

That’s sort of what I said though. You use C# because you used to use it. It’s like that for a lot of languages. I think it’s largely why Java is still around, and the wait paid off considering Java has overtaken C# on many aspects.

but if you were going to pick a tech for a new project without a history of using C#, why would you pick it in 2024? If you’ve got a large .Net stack and a lot of experience with it, it’s still a great choice. I was a c# developer for a decade mind you, and I’m not sure I’ll ever use it again because it sort of lost its foothold despite being in a really great place.

There's loads of data that indicate better educational and life outcomes for kids who participate in sports. Of course the high pressure and things like travel ball are bad. The toxic parents that think their kids are going to go pro are awful as well.

I think sports should be extremely encouraged if not required, but should be done strictly through schools, but it's a somewhat free country so people can do what they want.

> I also still don't entirely understand why school focussed on trig so much given that very few of us are navigating by sextant.

Trig is useful for practical problems involving angles, and ubiquitous in applications in engineering and statistics. One year in school we spent a long time on logarithms and trig. Approaching 20 years later I consider it time well spent, and my one regret is that I didn't strive to understand it more deeply at the time, and had to revisit some details later (mostly about logarithms, but same category IMO).

Achim from AirGradient here. I fully understand your frustration.

Maybe a bit of background information to put this into perspective.

Until around a year ago, the open-source DIY kits where a seperate 'side project' as we focused on our (now retired) closed source air quality monitors.

However last year we decided to go fully open-source hardware and started to merge the closed source features into the open-source firmware. Because we needed a much better code base, a complete re-write was required (also supporting two different MCUs).

So the last 6 months was really a transition period and things were a bit messy but I believe we have a much better onboarding and instructions [1] now available on the website and are continuing to work on it.

I had this weird feeling but with my google account. It's a digital lifetime that can be just deleted (ofc, not hard delete but I still won't be able to access it) in an instant.

Luckily, google gives you the option to get all your data. So I asked for a download using Google Takeout, and as you might guess it's well hidden and makes it really hard to use - the backups can take days to be ready and I couldn't download the 150gb result in the first 5 tries, so I had to start all over (that's just random plain evil, as I didn't download 10mb even in those poor tries). But once I got it I felt safer. At least I would be able to access my mail in such an event.

Also, it's a really sobering experience. I went through the rabbi hole of checking every file and folder there. I wondered, what youtube video did I watch on 7.8.2014 at 3am?

This left me feeling empty realizing they kept every fart I did in the last 20 years. I know it's like this and everybody does that, but skimming through the data made it real. Like you know texting and driving is dangerous but when you see someone loses his life to this shit.. It's different.

If they were supposed to watch after the kids in the shower, well yes.

There was an incident a few months ago about a school van: one of the kids at the rear of the van slept or didn't step out for whatever reason, the driver didn't count the kids and shut the van and went away. The kid was too small and too weak to properly ask for help when it realized it couldn't get out, and died in the bus.

This would be a completely random incident, with no one at fault, if it wasn't for the explicit responsibility of the driver to get the kids out of the bus.

A family wouldn't have the same responsibility, a parent bringing their kids and friend to some game and making the same kind of mistake might also not be at fault. Being a professional with a written explicit responsibility to watch after the kids makes it a different matter.

PS: in the case of the article, I assume there must be a law about not leaving the kids unattended outside in the first place, with a minimum ratio (x adult supervisor for y kids), whatever the circumstances, body of water or not.

It's excellent to see this on HN. Sun Ra and the Arkestra's genres transcend space and time, and their discography is massive, so it can be hard to tell people where to start listening, but "Jazz in Silhouette" (1959) is fine introduction to their more traditional style that won't startle you if you don't listen to much free jazz. In fact I just threw it on the ol turntable. If that tickles you, try "Space is the Place" (1973) on for something more experimental. In between, you cannot go wrong with the "Heliocentric Worlds of Sun Ra" albums (1965)
Most of the cli tools just wrap an LLM, but don't give it access to the data it needs to be useful. Aider is an exception of course - it gives great results because it feeds the LLM your source files.

We built http://github.com/robusta-dev/holmesgpt/ to investigate Prometheus/Jira/PagerDuty issues. We're able to get pretty good results (we benchmark extensively) because we use function-calling to give the LLM read acess to relevant data. I think we're the only open source AIOps tool, and the only AIOps tool period that does something more complex than RAG + summarization.
He leaked enough CIA materials that your wish is almost guarenteed.
I recently saw a news story about a Danish inventor who had come up with a coffee lid which uses, and I’m sorry to say I forgot how much less but it was around 25% materials. I was expecting him to be some sort of engineer or designer but he was in fact an architect.

Out of curiosity I looked into it and apparently a lot of our inventors of brilliant stuff like that are architects, so I guess that goes along with what this author is saying.
It's going to take much longer and more human(?) effort to apply DL/LLMs in worthy applications by adding constraints and human-injected workarounds to make them work with more useful and fewer unpleasant surprises.
This says nothing about it being a canary. All canaries are stated as such.

Instead, all I see is some debate about PGP.

I can believe that only one submission ever used it. PGP is not friendly to people who barely undersrand how computers work (99.999% of the population), and some panicking whistleblower isn't interested in taking a layman's course in crypto to send some docs.

So why would wikileaks renew their useless(from their perspective) PGP key?

People keep saying stuff like this about the DMA and it's very confusing to me. Of course Apple can choose to break the law, but there are consequences for that. It doesn't mean the law is ineffective just because investigation and enforcement is not instantaneous.
> But Andersen's story was itself a sanitized version of Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué's “Undine”

Now I got curious. Wikipedia actually has a summary of each chapter of "Undine" [1], and it's COMPLETELY DIFFERENT both in style and plot from Andersen's version [2]. Basically the only similarity is that it is about a mermaid and a prince/knight, and the (potential) death of the prince/knight at the end. For it to be a "sanitized version", it should be MUCH closer.

Interesting. They seem to warn against using the server for much as it's resource hungry and potentially unreliable, but that appears to be focused on the task of serving data; a simple webhook type use should be safer.

It'd be pretty amazing if ESPHome supported something like ZeroMQ[0], so you could talk between nodes in anything up-to full-mesh at a socket-level and not need to worry about the availability of a server to manage the traffic.

The scholarships aren't that hard to get. I got several scholarship offers and was at best in the top 30% of players. One of the worst kids on our team got a scholarship but of course it was to a small school far away. The thing is though that college sports are more demanding than a full time job in addition to doing actual school. For even 99.99% of college scholarship athletes there is NO chance of any professional career of significance. I loved playing high school sports, but college was a major escalation for very little pay off.
I can relate to this, however, I come from a very different angle. I was born visually impaired, and went blind at the age of 7.

Counterintuitive, but if anything is really bad, then if you prevent your kid from making its own experiences.

Tar isn't a great archival (by which I mean combining multiple files into one file) format for most people, since it emulates tape by putting records of what file you just read right in line with the data. To access a single file from a tar, you have to read the archive sequentially until you get to the record for that file. (assuming there's only one copy of that file in there)

Most other formats put data about what files are contained inside at the end of the file, so you need to read much less of it.

Being able to append tar files together is a killer feature though, and it's not going anywhere.
Also if it's big enough that recursing will blow out your stack.

Yes, you can throw the nodes on an array in the heap to allow tail recursion, but at that point you're going to be losing to a map with all but the biggest datasets, and even then the copies really aren't desirable

IMO manual logging and especially being consistent is hard in a team. Language skills, cultural background, personal preferences, etc.

Much better is a well thought of error handling. This shows exactly when and where something went wrong. If your error handler supports it, even context information like all the variables of the current stack is reported.

Add managable background jobs to the recipe which you can restart after fixing the code...

This helps in 99.99% of all cases.

And as someone self-medicating, and using their own money to seek psychologists, therapy, and help for the damage caused by it ~20 years later still, it is my value statement that it is absolutely 100% utterly, irredeemably horrible.

As an Indonesian, I have to admit that most of our people are susceptible to cheap but clever personal branding. Before running on 2024 presidential election, Prabowo Subianto (the elected president) was imaged as a firm and authoritative former general. But, when he run on the presidential election, he changed his personal image to be a "gemoy" (a slang for chubby and cute kid/baby) and even dancing around with his supporter, something that he never do on his past election.
His pairing with Gibran (the son of Joko Widodo, the current president of Indonesia) also gave some factor to his winning the election.
> Also, bored people are typically boring people.

This is such a bad sentiment. Being bored is fine and a normal part of existance, it doesn't make a person boring. There are LOTS of reasons to get bored and we don't all need to feel stimulated all of the time. Being bored can push people to do something new, being bored can just be down to having to watch Cars with your kid for the 1000th time because they want to watch it with you and you don't always put your own self first. Being bored can also be due to burnout, trying to chase all the shiney new stuff to make yourself feel interesting.
