In the Netherlands the Fritz boxes are seen as one of the 'premium' brands. Most other ISP provided routers are completely shit random value brands so that might explain the difference.
I'm on my third Fritzbox now and only the second one really went bad after 8 years (dropped the VDSL connection multiple times per day) so was promptly replace by the ISP. Current one is a 7583 that's been running really stable for a few years now.
Of course it's a network product: it might also be a spotty hardware part on the other side of your connection. I'd suggest calling your ISP...
Just disable update check?
As someone who actually has a university degree in Artificial Intelligence, I feel like this is always how it's been. Before, an "AI Expert" was someone who knew how to use Tensorflow, PyTorch or Keras. Before that, an "AI Expert" was someone who knew how to write a Monte Carlo simulation, etc etc.

You could of course say the same for frontend engineer or backend engineers.
How many frontend engineers are simply importing Tailwind, React, etc?
How many backend engineers are simply importing apache packages?

Where do you draw the line? Can you only be an AI expert if you stick to non-LLM solutions? Or are AI experts the people who have access to hundreds of millions of USD to train their own LLMs? Who are the real AI experts?
I think it depends on the context. I think there's artistic cases for it, for example I've played around with using AI tools to extract speech from its background music for use in further (non AI-based) music which I don't think is an unethical thing to do.
The military isn't saying "pay $5 to crash a tank". They aren't creating pricing that causes a deficit.
Sales people were never artists. Cold calling is not art.
>Different people learn in different ways

Not so sure, the idea of "learning styles" (visual learners, etc) has widely been debunked.
I’ve been developing inside of Podman containers using Neovim. It’s mostly great. I love that my machine doesn’t get cluttered with random dev dependencies.

Yesterday, though, I ran into an issue where Bun was occasionally not completing http requests. I thought it was a bug with Bun (it might be), but the issue went away when I ran it outside of a container.

Containers do add layers which sometimes cause issues, or at least make diagnosis trickier.
I know a while ago there was some leaked a16z data showing returns underperforming the S&P 500.
In this regard, chrome refers to the ui, say outside the <html> tag. The browser ui, native context menu, etc.

Proton launches its own version of Google Docs
maybe got your peanut butter mixed with your chocolate just a little....windows 95 etc, are product names, not version numbers. Windows 95 is version 4 with the last release likely being 4.0.950 C. To rant a little- I wouldnt count on MS to ever name anything well and at least once had 2 different products with the exact same name. They also named one ai product "Recall" which is a very negative name for a product which kind of got recalled ironically.
There is no market in those shares hence no observable price and the Bund is controlling DB (including changes to its legal form - subject to art 87e GG or a need to change that one, but even that isn't impossible). I don't see a political angle here. It is a state-owned and controlled entity - wanting to turn a profit or not is ultimately a decision by the owners, not by someone else.

I am not letting the owner off the hook here.
> And of course I exchange emails whenever there's some kind of customer service thing that needs to be dealt with - it's always best to have things in writing.

I have the feeling contact forms are disappearing everywhere nowadays. Everything is either a chatbot or a chatcall these days.

> Enough of us will get pissed off that we will develop AI agents that sit between us and the internet.

Until _that_ company gets overrun by MBAs who are profit-driven then they start injecting ads into the results.

It will come in the vein of "we are personalizing the output and improving responses by linking you with vendors that will solve your problems".
The local companies are the ones where most people buy their 49€ ticket while I imagine DB gets almost no income from it. Doesn't really matter though as both DB and local operators receive subsidies anyway, including ones specifically introduced for the 49€ ticket.
Yes, this is an organization issue, not a Sonar issue.

It might also be a communication issue if the team doesn't challenge the status quo, because this situation is terrible:

> For any ‘exception granted’ we would have to book time with them days in advance then white-board the reason why Sonar is wrong

(no evidence for that, maybe they did challenge it and the superior refused, but I just wanted to mention it)
Thank you for your interest! Yes, we have considered building plugins with AI features for Jira. However, due to the limitations we face with control over Jira's UI, we've realized that creating an entirely new interface would be necessary for the kind of seamless interaction we envision.

Our focus isn't just on improving interactions but also on enhancing prioritization of the issues.
Bravo Andreas, and thanks for working on keeping the Internet neutral. It's a thankless, titanic effort against the Goliaths that want to make it their playground, and us their loyal subjects.

Can't wait for the day I can drop Firefox and use Ladybird full time.
Partly because the standards, such as X12, have a high startup cost to use them, they aren't very opinionated about the actual content, and you have to get the counterparty on board to use them.
Fair enough, but IIRC students are first taught about converging and non converging series in pre calc. So then you get to calc, and work on the e proof, but first you say, "if you paid attention last year, you'll remember this series converges."
Why does this have so many layout errors or typographical errors or something going on? There are just a lot of repeated paragraphs or sentences for seemingly no reason.
It is costing money in return for "security" (and some more welfare like things in the US, too, for example). How that is valued is a social/political decision, not one of simple cost calculations - the same can be true for other public spending.

I'm amazed to hear anyone doesn't use UTC, I'm not a professional developer and I remember learning, just while teaching myself the basics of PHP & MySQL as a teenager, that it's best to have databases store either UTC or a Unix timestamp (which afaik is essentially the same as using UTC except that it's less easy for most people to read at a glance) and to do the conversion to any local time zone wherever users interact with it.
Wasn't it the case already? All I see is a change in release numbering really:

"Dolphin has seen constant updates, with new features and enhancements coming side by side with bug fixes and stability improvements. " <-- yes that is what I call rolling release.

"All of this was achieved without a new release." <-- No. You were doing release. Just not changing major version numbers.
Please don't distract Y_Y, they may be well on their way to Lisp NILvana: realizing that everything else is impermanent and unsatisfactory. NIL is ultimate bliss.
Instead of having to pay the military $5 to crash a tank they will even pay you to do it.
gregory chaitin has an accessible version of the math, if you’re interested. he builds a LISP with it.

AFAIK, the smallest they make is 12cm in diameter.
There will be a uBlock Origin for that.
That’s one of Peter Watt’s Rifters trilogy, I think maybe the second one? Been a few years since I read them. I think it’s a biological neural net, not an Ai per se. Lots of big ideas in those books, but not a lot of optimism and some rough stuff.
Do you have any sources with proof that Euromaidan was staged by US and the EU?

That's not what I get from conversations with Ukrainian friends who were there protesting so please provide me proof they were manipulated by the US and EU to stage a coup against a government they didn't like (aka a Russian puppet).
I'm envious of you not having experienced why they absolutely deserve their reputation
They monetize your data.
YMMV. I travel often enough between Zürich and Munich. As soon as the train crosses the border into Germany it starts to accrue delays. I'd say 80% of the times I arrive in Munich with 20+ minutes delay and 20% more than 40 minutes.

On the way back the train enters Switzerland with enough delay to fuck up Swiss timetables and so it accrues even more delays. So much so that makes an overcrowded Flixbus an alluring alternative.

So, long story short DB is absolutely terrible IMHO. The worst railway company in Western Europe by far among those I traveled with enough times to have an opinion (SNCF, Trenitalia/Italo, Renfe, DB, OBB).
There won't be a clash of lawyers. They'll come up with a settlement and cut will be paid, or they'll just put up special blocker just for them, like they already do with Tim Burton for image generation. Regular people will be essentially defenseless of course.

IANAE (No An Engineer), but I think he mentions both the issues of piles wandering off-course, and of unanticipated piling problems causing major budget & scheduling issues.

From a structural PoV, an extremely long piling in soft-ish soil will start having problems with lateral deflection - which it is too thin (relative to length) to resist. Then there's the case of "we think we finally hit bedrock...but what if it's just a big boulder?".

I can imagine cases of pilings running into large underground caverns, or penetrating strata containing water / gas / petroleum under pressure.

Edit: From a quick search...

In some locations, bedrock may not start until >1000' below the surface.

And here's a very quick & simple intro to the fact that "bedrock starts at depth D" is usually too simplistic: https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/bedrock/
This is how I store my one-off, unicorn, proprietary, or just "retro enough that I don't need 50 of them" cables. Fold the cable around the width of my palm, then stick it in a TP tube, stored end-up in a drawer with both connectors facing me.

Very searchable, very retrievable, very cheap/available, and stops them coalescing into a lovecraftian tubmleweed.
Why would anyone choose to use local time for anything other than display? That just seems way harder even if you don't have customers from other timezones.

> First, it compells governments to censor speech. Look at the EU where "hate speech" laws and laws against "disinformation" were introduced and the ongoing battle with chat control.

Countries both inside and outside the EU have been passing hate speech laws from since before the EU was even a thing. You call that censorship but we know that allowing hate to be spewed unconditionally is itself a form of silencing others. You can just look at the US, how’s the unfettered hate and disinformation working out over there?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

And chat control has nothing to do with hate speech.

> Second, you can't deny the impact being banned from using any monopolistic sites like Facebook, YouTube, Google. Banning everyone from there when you don't agree with them leads to massive echo chambers.

Who is banning those websites? You mean China, which has nothing to do with the EU? Or like banning Tik Tok, which the US is at the forefront of?
It's semi-privatized in effect. It's run as a profit-oriented business while at the same time being publicly controlled and funded. It's the worst of both worlds in that sense. In fact, in addition to DB there's DB Regio as well as its various subsidiaries including DB RegioNetz with its own various subsidiaries. Other direct subsidiaries of DB are DB Fernverkehr for long distance trains, DB Cargo and DB InfraGO which was created as a merger of DB Netz (not to be confused with DB RegioNetz) and DB Station&Service. Most of these subsidiaries are intended to operate in such a way as to be independently profitable. There's also DB Energie because of course a corporation of this size needs vertical integration.

Just now the coalition government decided to move funds intended for rail infrastructure into road infrastructure and build/extend another stupid highway. At the same time existing highway bridges are falling apart and the rail infrastructure is in desperate needs of improvements. German railway is at the same time kneecapped by its need to operate as a profit-driven business as well as being controlled by the policy-driven government.
It depends on where the parent commenter is living - in Berlin I was paying over 80 EUR a month for a travel card which only applied in the state of Berlin before the Deutschland ticket () - I could believe that a monthly pass for other cities (Frankfurt?) could reach 150 EUR.

( Not directly before, there was the 9 EUR ticket in summer '22, and then BVG offered their monthly ticket for 29 EUR for a while).

According to Hacker News readers, the ladybird shouldn't be able to compete in the browser space. It's too difficult, the spec is too large, its competitors have large pockets. The ladybird tries anyway, because ladybirds don't care about what HN readers think.

Show HN: A web app to track your grocery expenses and nutrition
Hello HN,

I've been working on a tool during the weekend to help make cheaper and healthier grocery choices. Currently, it only gives me simple stats on my grocery bill and some general comments on how you can improve your shopping next time. (No signup/email needed.)

I believe that healthy food is something cooked in your kitchen, but it also takes a lot of time.

So, I started by building an Airbnb-like platform where people can find local cooks (not just experienced chefs) to do meal prep in their homes. After working 9 months on it, I realized it was hard to get people on the platform. So, I thought I should build something people can use for free to create some awareness around it.

As usual, I have many features in mind that I would like to implement, but I would love to hear some feedback. I have 3 friends using it regularly, but it might still break. If you care, please try it out, sign up or hit me up on X.

Thanks, Aman
Like Algolia it doesn’t work without JS.
While I have dabbled in a number of GUI libraries - many of them were a few years ago so covering my views on those would be disingenuous. I remember using Win32 or MFC.. and dabbled in Qt, etc.

In recent years, I have used WPF/Avalonia and while they are good - can lead to a lot of bloat following MVVM.

In the last year, I remember needing an application that shows a map. I tried to find support for openstreetmap and, while they exist, did not support what I needed to do. I tried Avalonia, and then GTK, etc. To be honest, I really liked GTK.. it just didn't have the tools I needed, sadly.

I have leaned to immediate mode UIs these days. I like I can create something with minimal code. Sadly, no openstreetmap support from what I can see.

In the end, I created a web interface. openstreetmap (leaflet) did everything I needed.
The problem was called "Antihydra" by discoverers. This could mean that we might never be able to determine BB(6), and that it might be undecidable.
He is! Cue the mark twain quote. Someone at work told me he had passed. Good news.
What is definitely wrong in this article is the claim, that only bears eat living prey. Also wolves do that. There are many cases where wolves attacked animals (cows, sheep, deer), and as soon as those are immobilized, start feeding. Sometimes these animals survive with horrible wounds. Many images and videos can be found via google.
If you would actually inform yourself a bit before spouting such nonsense you would know that East Germany was actually a lot more serious about denazification than West Germany after WW2 (not quite as serious as the official propaganda would want you to believe of course - for instance the early "inofficial" East German army made use of Wehrmacht officers until they were kicked out around 1956 when the NVA was officially founded, but still more serious (and effective) than West Germany which mostly turned a blind eye towards higher ranking nazi officials in the government, secret service and army).

Also the leading neo nazis who built up their East German networks in the 90's were mostly "Alte Kameraden" coming in from West Germany (and that's still the case, guess where Bjoern Hoecke grew up, hint: not in the GDR), and this was made easy not because the East Germans were "preconditioned", but instead disillusioned and frustrated with how the reunification was going in the 90s. The poor, disillusioned and frustrated tend to turn towards extremism, that's the problem in a nutshell, and that problem is not unique to East Germany.
That's not "really living", what you're talking about takes time, and people like these are often really short of it.
Cost cutting is one of the issues for constantly being late. To give two examples:

1. Transporting people is less profitable than transporting goods, so those trains have to wait for the more important ones. They share tracks due to cost and difficulties with planning new routes.

2. Until the 90s there was a person physically using the railroad switch lever. This meant that these almost never malfunctioned, and if they did, someone was there to immediately fix it. Today they are centrally managed and electrical, and one of the biggest reasons for delays.

Now the thing is that there are many areas where the DB could both cut costs and increase reliability, but are blocked by the unions / Betriebsrat. Rails is an area ripe for automation but in my experience at every little nook a union representative will find a way to block it as it might make some employees redundant.
Very true, I sat next to the sales guy at a small company and he was on the phone all day repeating himself day in and day out. Easily replaced by AI.
> Linux could see it.

Oh we had stuff for the linux sysadmins too. ^H was easy mode, throw in some VT control codes in there and you had a dir that NOBODY could navigate to without the code.
I get the feeling that there are. MLOps became LLMOps before most people knew it as any more than a buzzword and well we can't just call it ops because there's clearly something different here.

AI is still too opaque to reliably know beforehand if an idea will pan out, so you just gotta try it.

Plus it's easy, once you start imagining how the magic of AI is gonna make you rich, to ignore the problems with your idea and assume that the AI will handle them too.

So you've got all these hyped up fools trying to make stuff that lacks merit. How do you capitalize on that? You don't invest in the stuff that's doomed to fail, you create a slot:

> Insert coin, insert half baked idea, receive AI app

That way you get to keep the coins even when apps don't turn out. Plus, you're collecting the institutional knowledge necessary to pounce on something that comes along which is actually worth investing in.

Or at least that's the vibe I get when our meetings feature an AI-excited VC (which isn't common, but it happens).
re: washing machines. it is nice that machine can wash using less heat and water. it most likely does it by using more mechanical friction.
There are no standards I know of that require machines to wash clothes so they last for N cycles.
Are not these efficient machines basically shredding fabric much faster than the older machines?
Will be interesting to see what it can and can't do, but this is certainly welcome and came about much faster than I thought it would.
It is not privatized - it is the owners (the state) giving it certain objectives. The state has control as well as ownership and is making choices. If the owners wanted to do something different, they could do so (as you pointed out with the redirection of funds). The choices that were put into art 87e GG, for example, are still choices.
Please name it Wave
Right, just as some mutual funds outperform the SP and most don't.
I'm aware that they are product names, but also very much "versions" in the public mind too. I guess that falls into the difference between build version and major version. People choose a major version for features, and get a build based on that version with the latest fixes but don't generally care what build. Even Dolphin is showing this split with their yymm-patch format for builds between releases.

Ironically, I was going to cite the humorous example of Sun and Solaris - the successor to SunOS 4.5 was identifiable from the OS itself (e.g. uname) as SunOS 4.6, but branded as Solaris 2.6 and older versions of SunOS 4.x were retro-actively labelled as other Solaris versions. They followed that by renaming Solaris 2.6 to Solaris 6 when they released Solaris 7, and again uname used the older format and returned SunOS 4.7.
> DB is better than it's reputation.

What's good about it exactly? They're not reliable, they're overpriced compared to any other form of transportation, you need to reserve a seat even if you pay for first class and the internet sucks. I find it hard to see anything good about them.
Even for slower trains you could easily pay well above 49€ before. Even just a montly ticket for the city where I live cost over 60€ and that still required you to pay extra for regional trains to nearby towns. That doesn't mean that 49€ is too low as both prices are subsidized (explicitly for the 49€ ticket and indirectly via infrastructure grants before).
I believe this is a fairly intuitive explanation for Eigenvectors: https://www.3blue1brown.com/lessons/eigenvalues
> They're generally the universal boogeymen.

That's the problem actually. It's so strong that it makes it more difficult for the principle to be applied for what is less strong. Also in some place it has also been overused to the point it's not effective because you don't know if the people accused are really nazi or not (in my country even left politicians may be called literal fascists by others at the left)
