When this first came out I retrieved the list of stations (around 20k, I think it was just a JSON file), converted it to .m3u8, and I have since used it as a playlist for WinAmp. It's playing one of those streams right now, using 4MB of memory and practically no CPU.

Over the years, several streams (or the station themselves unfortunately) have gone offline. To refresh my list I'd have to scrape the "globe", and it doesn't feel like the right thing to do.

Has anyone encountered a similar website, but with a simple list of public streams?
Thoughts on Paid Next.js Template/Boilerplate
I bought https://shipfa.st/?via=top during Black Friday, but I'm not particularly satisfied with it because Marc focuses too much on marketing rather than continuously improving Shipfast, and there might not be new features for a month or two. This is more suitable for building landing pages rather than complex applications, as the rich components are basically designed for landing pages. In terms of landing pages alone, it is still a decent template.

To build complex applications, https://supastarter.dev/?aff=zXRYe is currently the best I've used, based on a monorepo, with complete features and clear, robust code. However, the downside is that there are very few components for landing pages, which complements shipfast perfectly, But his price is also the most expensive..

there are also two other good ones:
- https://anotherwrapper.com/?aff=zXRYe Build AI Nextjs saas very quickly, leveraging one of the 9 demo apps.
- https://shipped.club/?aff=zXRYe It is quite balanced, with a rich set of features and landing page components, and it also includes a Chrome extension, all at a relatively affordable price.
Tumbleweed. I've also experimented with NixOS which I enjoyed but it was just too disruptive to my workflow.
I'm not hiding anything by saying I'm on the left of the political spectrum. There is always a danger when criticizing aspects of capitalism that I don't understand capitalism or hate America, or want to live under communism. Anyway...

It irks me endlessly that many of the complaints about how the world is turning to crap has, at its root, capitalism. You think movies and TV are peddling filth? It sells. Think social media is corrupting our minds with disinformation? They are making lots of money at it. The news is constantly pushing stories about you you and/or your kids are in peril.

Again, to be clear, I'm not saying we need to get rid of capitalism. My point is look at the root causes and incentives, rather than blaming weak-minded liberals for having an agenda to ruin the country.
Ask HN: Is C++ a bad idea for new projects?
C++ has its niche in parallel high performance computing. But would it be a bad idea to start a new project in 2024 using C++ when Rust and Zig exists? I'm looking at machine learning and array processing as applications

This makes me wonder if my 19 month old child has any distinguishable accent, since she has a Dutch-speaking father, a German-speaking mother (who both speak English to each other), a Syrian baby-sitter, and she goes to a Swedish-speaking preschool. She understands all of us in our own languages, and usually replies with words in the "correct" language to each person.
Exactly, this is what I was getting at. The leaders are the ones with all the decision-making power in this situation.

The engineers would have to stage some kind of protest and/or quit their jobs to change things. Whereas all the leaders have to do is just stop choosing to invest in harmful projects.

While I do see how it's one of those situations where, the system is set up to incentivize certain decisions. I get that. But that doesn't change the fact that the leaders are the ones making the decisions.
GenAI skeptics and evangelists spend a lot of time talking past each other. The way I see it is that there are three camps, which you can see in the comments in this thread.

Camp 1 is the Ilyas that are convinced they're building a digital god before 2030.

Camp 2 are people that see a very useful tool that's going to change the world for the better.

Camp 3 (my camp) thinks Camp 1 is getting high on their own supply. We often talk to Camp 2 like they are Camp 1, but we shouldn't. We think GenAI is very useful but will likely in the end be used for negative purposes, the way the Internet was perverted into a surveillance and disinformation machine.
Bees do the same. In fact, IIRC, honey bees do different tasks as they age, graduating from nursery duty to hive maintenance / cleaning through to actual honey collection.
Tesla is upgrading the Cybertruck's electric motor
In what scenarios would someone paranoid / secretive / foresighted enough to have a TL-15 safe in their home also be negligent enough to leave the $100k in cash behind when the sell they house? (And without any widow / family / "business associates" who would know enough to invest in the prompt services of a SAVTA tech?)
I grew up in car-centric suburbia. I played outside everyday. Rode around on my bike with my friends. We'd play wall-ball, stick ball, street hockey. Hang out at the neighborhood pool. Make bike jumps out of stuff. Play in the park. The problem is not having the imagination to make something out of not much. And today suburbia has many more parks and resources. Eg. We never had a skatepark. We'd skate in parking lots or on shoddily homebuilt ramps. But now there are 3 in biking distance from me.
Remote work has the potential to solve so many societal ills.
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed

A stable rolling distro with automatic snapshots. Packages are up to date without being bleeding edge. If an update breaks something, simply revert to an older snapshot.

Cleaning Up the Design: Comparing Super Heavy's Propellant Distribution Systems
As someone who just finished reading her book City of Illusions, this is a fun coincidence. The first chapter of (her interpretation of) the Tao Te Ching features in the book, and the bit about "two things, one origin, but different in name" is a central aspect of the book.

City of Illusions is one of her earlier works, but I found it a great read, and definitely could see the throughline to The Left Hand of Darkness, which would be published a couple years later.
A Dramatic Reading: I Will Fucking Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again
But he is presenting his arguments based on research data, not just pulling stuff out of nowhere. I have the book and started reading it, so far it doesn’t seem farfetched or made up at all, he does cite his sources.
From a business perspective this is right. Unless OpenAI creates AGI they'll probably never make a dime. Great products do not lead inevitably to great profits.
Asia is fully of third places still and they have all of the problems we do, and in some cases (birth rates) it’s far worse!
The underlying knowledge you can skimp on right now is the most absolute basic understanding of a simple problem. I just don't see things like replicating a bare-bones version of 2048 in HTML as "catching up" to anything worthwhile.

For busy-work tasks like restructuring JSON as YAML and writing one-off bash scripts, current AI is amazing. Code review in limited contexts is also pretty decent.

But solving actual, difficult problems seems frustratingly out of reach. GPT5+ really need to deliver much better logic and problem solving.
I agree with some of the points here, but take issue with others. In the US at least, a lack of affordable housing is caused more by excessive veto power at the local level. As for inequality, it does not appear to be widening anymore, and there is quite a bit of disagreement over how bad it is in the first place. See Auten and Splinter for example. Economic stagnation is a problem for Western Europe. Plenty of other countries, USA included, are doing well. I’ve noticed excessive doomerism among a certain set of highly educated, relatively affluent, and left leaning westerners that I don’t think is doing anyone any favors.
Arch.

I ran Gentoo from around 2005-2010. Getting into Gentoo was highly educational and fun in it's own way, but it broke way too often and the fun wore off after fixing wifi the third or fourth time.

Coming from Gentoo, Arch has been extremely stable. In fact, in my experience Arch has been more stable and reliable than RHEL or even proprietary operating systems like Windows. I'm running the Sway window manager, so pretty minimalist. YMMV, especially if you're running a heavier desktop like KDE or GNOME.

Arch may be the highest profile mainstream rolling distro. Sometimes it's easier to go with the flow.
That's a pretty small difference though. You might have similar differences between states within the US.
Fun idea. One thing I don't love is there's heavy emphasis on 4 pieces coming together at a single point with almost all of the designs. It looks nice, but:

a)That's a really weak point that will probably be the first point of failure.

b)It's way more difficult to get that to line up properly in the real world (front and back, as the wood isn't always perfectly square) and will have a lot more obvious imperfections in the design.

I do quite a few cutting boards (mostly to use up scrap wood), and random patterns or a simple running bond hold up way better.

Most of these designs are nice display pieces, but will not hold up well to true kitchen use.
Not my problem, that can be fixed by a future generation of pedants. It'll be good enough for 50 years or so.
High quality Chinese sweat shop products. I feel like many rich hardly care about labour conditions as long as quality fine and branding legimitate considering they're the ones enforcing said conditions.
I really enjoy https://www.latent.space/podcast nowadays - it really gets into the technical details and concepts around various modern AI and LLM related topics.
Of all its "members", Jon Haidt was the least voluntarily grouped in with the rest of the IDW. If he was ever a member -- not that that should be damning -- it wouldve been nearly a decade ago. The IDW has not been relevant for half a decadd. He's also a bog standard Progressive politically.

Also, his focus is on human social relationships and how they affect society. The article is well within his realm of experise. You are just attacking a man dedicated to promoting peace and well being in personal and intrasocietal relationships because you clearly have a political axe to grind -- and you dont even have the right target.
If owners are using it preserve value because of lack of faith in USD, it’s not “just” speculation, that’s a valid value preservation strategy in uncertain economic times, and now a real part of the global economy. Full disclosure: I do NOT own any BTC.
Depends on what you need. Rust's machine-learning tooling isn't very advanced, but then again neither is C++ if you want high-level features. You might want to use neither, if you can get away with a simpler language like Python.

Between Rust and C++ I tend to pick Rust for better tooling and simpler control over LLVM. It's entirely up to you, but I wouldn't be caught dead running Valgrind on my multithreaded machine learning app.
Both are probably creating an anti-synergy in this scenario.

The person that's socially inept will likely spend more time alone/with their PC then if this outlet didn't exist, and that will inevitable further hamper their social skills
On this point you're probably right.

Post your counterargument. This is HN after all.
An interesting resource is IDC 203, which describes how the US intelligence community discusses probability. The table in paragraph 2a says something similar to what you are saying:

almost no chance / remote := 1%-5%
very unlikely / highly improbable := 5%-20%
etc...
> When?!

Diplomatic agreements between nations throughout history. Your land has water, mine has food, we set the value of trade and baseline the currency. The unavoidable cost is the minimum time and labor to transport and extract the resources.

The supply and demand indirectly adjust the transaction prices through multiple layers of exchange. Hence the border tariffs having an impact on exchange rate.

Simplified, but draws a picture.
So… what apps does the author use? There is a huge difference between how this would work for VSCode, Notes.app, and other editors.
I love to build things, and it's especially fun to build stuff that solve my own problems, but it's tricky to find enough time for larger pet projects on top of a full-time job, so most of my personal projects tend to be smaller scripts that try to do one thing well, and require little maintenance. I have created a plethora of scripts over the years that help me avoid doing boring and repetitive tasks and save me time in the long run. As I wrote these scripts for myself, these are either too opinionated, or depend on some of my other scripts/libs, and not well documented, so it's problematic to share with others. To name a few:

- A bash script to easily keep track of and manage multiple git repos. There are many similar projects out there, but I couldn't find one that fit my needs exactly.

- Bash scripts that automate most of the periodic backup, update and cleanup process on my various machines. There are many things to backup (e.g. git repos, documents, notes, calendars, and other apps) and update (e.g. OS, packages from various pkg managers, plugins, stuff installed with standalone scripts) and most of these things can be automated to spare a ton of time in the long run.

- Scripts to declutter my downloads folder, which used to be a mess. E.g. automatically rename and neatly organize the downloaded invoices, warranties, movies, series, etc where they belong.

- Bash+pup+jq scripts to generate RSS feeds for websites that don't provide one, or not good enough, so I don't have to scroll through each one every day. E.g. new cinema releases, new products, and some blogs with no/insufficient RSS.

- A web change monitor script that periodically fetches web pages, extracts the relevant content with pup+jq+pandoc, and then commits and pushes it if there were changes. GitHub provides an RSS feed of the repo changes with a link to an excellent diff interface. E.g. product promos, and wall-of-text changelogs.

- A price tracker script, that uses pup and jq to extract the price of various products and notifies me of about price drops using a telegram bot to spare some money.

- Bash scripts to automate the process of setting up various operating systems with the necessary tools I need on a bunch of machines, and to version control the config files, so I can easily set things up again without having to spend a lot of time with the migration, or worrying about losing sth.

- Bash & powershell scripts to debloat Android, Windows, Mac and some Linux distros from the unwanted, performance hogging, and privacy-invading pre-installed crap and "features".

- Userscripts to reduce unnecessary distractions and annoyances on the web. E.g. debloat Google, YouTube, Reddit, re-enable copy-paste, Jira ticket UX improvements.

- Python code and shell scripts to semi-automate double-entry accounting with beancount.

- A ton of small scripts for more efficient work ...
Many sites are blocking my Google Voice number from being used for 2FA, so apparently not "everyone" has a number that "everyone" finds acceptable.
It's always been hard to find things without spin. The only difference now is the range of different spin styles available. Every niche worldview has an online community.
What Caused These Rivian Electric Vans to Catch Fire in an Amazon Parking Lot?
Too many peoples' salaries here depend on them not understanding that. The most prestigious jobs here are often considered to be FAANG, two of which are the biggest ad companies on the planet. It's just depressing really.
But of course you are immune from doing the same.
It's not necessarily a bad idea as long as you apply modern C++ practices. If you're going to be poking around with raw pointers, you might want to use a safer language, but if you want to use things like std::shared_ptr, C++ can be quite safe while continuing to provide good performance.

NixOS unstable.

Is very up to date. Is very stable/recoverable. Has many packages. Has reproducible packages. Has a great config system (I do not miss having to learn a new config syntax for each package). Allows for easy compartmentalization of packages.
Developing social skills just takes motivation and practice. This is well established. For example: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28054797/
Laws may be a factor but more likely infrastructure (i.e. lack of accessible third places) is much more important.
lol what? Anyone can invest in Ethereum or Bitcoin. Not anyone can be part of scam system that protects oligarchs and grand kids of slave owners :) Investment bankers keep and increase their wealth with scams and wars. Go read some books. Only exception is tech investors, founders and innovators.
I'd say Discourse makes a different set of tradeoffs, and a large percentage of people are fine with those tradeoffs. Discourse could use some alternative clients for sure, and it'd be even better if there were a standard for such clients to coalesce around. It seems these days all the effort around standardizing such a thing is in the fediverse, which is a fine idea but ActivityPub is an over-engineered monstrosity that results in incompatible servers and clients anyway.
> The problem isn't that we had nothing to do, but that we had to pretend to do something. We couldn't just stay home. We had to show up every day and waste 8 hours at our desk before going home.

Why slashdot, digg, reddit, hn, etc exists. The good old days of maniacally refreshing until a new link or comment popped up. A generation's saving grace.
Think about what you just said.

You gave examples of how chat bots are going to be more widely used. Nothing more. So far I don’t see any examples that aren’t overpriced efforts in “shoehorning a chat bot” into something.

Like why will a hospital pay for a bunch of chat bot integrations when it’s likely my ChatGPT phone app will be able to view the form via camera and AirDrop or email the form? Meaning, I still see no examples of why OpenAI isn’t the Bitcoin of the crypto bubble (one use case, with one winner).

You say the only things holding it up are:

- Cost

- Training

Which can be said of any business that’s ever existed. So why is AI different?
Some types of apples can last through winter if stored properly (even without refrigeration), I would assume it would depend on the climate though.

IIRC they tend to be quite a bit more sour so probably not to popular just because of that.
> Gen X at 76%, and Boomers at 73%

Ok now those are some damn surprising numbers. At least as per the boomer what's-a-computer stereotype.
They hired the same "experienced" people who slowed down NASA, ULA, Boeing, etc.
I haven't put anywhere near enough thought to decide on something simple.

There are two main dynamics that I noticed:

- Each distributed component has a high minimal cost to create and maintain, what leads people to consolidate them into more complex, fewer ones;

- You'll invariably need to interact with some component that doesn't share your values. So you need security, contracts (the legal kind), consumer protection, etc... and that creeps into your abstraction.

Outside of that, there's one thing that isn't inherent but does happen every single time is information erasure. Distributed interfaces are way less detailed than the ones on monolithic systems.
I have been seriously considering switching to tumbleweed (currently running fedora, previously arch). What kind of sharp edges have you bumped into?
When i said buy whatever you want, i was referring to the ingredient in the drug, which you can buy or make with no issues.

And when i say the prescription not being a barrier, i'm not talking about not needing a prescription to get research grade antibiotics. I'm talking about how needing a prescription to get a non-controlled drug is literally a non-issue because of rampant off label prescribing and online prescription mills.
Hands down Debian.

From all I tested, it offers best synergy for all I wanted. Biggest package repo, every problem is nicely searchable and has nice community.
Yes, learning to write is an incredibly useful skill. Learning to communicate effectively, how to synthesize information into a coherent essay, how to organize your thoughts and put them down on paper, all essential skills. How is this even a question?
It's extremely close to real data just like in Ahrefs
> Looks like I hit a nerve with the people who have deep regrets about not investing when they should have. Many such cases.

I think it has more to with the condescending tone. It weakens your argument.
Manjaro, it's basically arch with some herbs and spices.

I do realize that the whole point of arch is that you're the one with the spice rack, but, I generally like what manjaro's doing. Not to say it's been all roses, just that it's been fun.
Synchronization Is Bad for Scale

It's not ridiculous. Grocery stores tend to be few and far between in low-income areas. Those that do exist typically don't have fruits or vegetables because processed food is cheaper in volume. It's a well-documented issue. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_desert

About me:

An outgoing Senior Developer that cares about making quality, robust software. I release code that I can be proud of. I believe that TDD is the single most important discipline a team can implement to ensure product quality. I am a big picture visionary that functions as a client liaison committed to uncompromising quality of software I deploy. I'm a deeper worker that loves solving for the future maintainability and flexibility of a product. Let's build something of real value, that's worth something.
I mean can you really compare anything with the discovery of electricity? If someone invented warp drive right now it still wouldn't be on par.
openSUSE Tumbleweed is amazing, especially with its automatic snapshotting every time you install updates. That has saved me a handful of times when Mesa broke on my system.
