These aren't the laments of a dying internet. They're the laments of a person mourning a time and place that will never come back but without the social awareness to realize that. That's the trouble with most of these kinds of laments.

New media exploration is new, fresh, and chaotic. The kids on Discord channels and those watching streamers and VTubers have this same energy. The old guys looking for mailing lists are sneaking a peek in between looking at their kids, doing their household chores, and finishing work. The vibes are off cause of the audience.
Yeah but the whole way down you're saying to yourself "I shouldnta have that last drink" because you coulda made it home in time, instead of blaming your tools, unless you're a bad craftsman.
Definitely something I could use as an external display for a pomodoro timer
Great app. A good example why js apps can never be more than OK, and native apps can really rock. Would be amazing if I could use my sublime bindings here
From my observations: cold start, ease of patching.
If you're running a lot of different JS code or restarting the code frequently, it's faster than node.
Where it's useful: fuzzing. If you have a library/codebase you want to fuzz, you need to restart the code from a snapshot, and other engines seem to do it slower.
It's also really easy to patch the code, because of the codebase size. If you need to trace/observe some behavior, just do it.
Startup en full remote: Les bonnes pratiques du CEO d'Edusign
There’s an entire library, libpsl, dedicated to checking the public suffix list, and that needs to be updated whenever some marketing department has a brain fart because ICANN needed more cash for its CEO’s cocaine budget.
That's nothing to do with having a dialog to ask for each too. That's talking about the amount of work it would be to rewrite all these tools themselves so it was first party Rust code.
Tight coupling is not a problem. Ignore the word "island" if that's your issue. Pretend it talked about sealing each unsafe system behind a safe API.

And yes, you can make that happen. Marking references for a GC is in the same ballpark as a custom allocator. It doesn't have to fill the code using it with unsafe.
This is an overly wordy article, that I think misses the mark.

The internet _as the Western world knows it today_ will not be the same in a few decades. But then again, it's hardly the same today as it was 30 years ago either.

A few things affect this:

- Advertising. It's everywhere and corrupts every form of media. Content is made to appease advertisers, and web services are built to extract data from users. The internet experience is getting gradually worse.

- Politics. For some reason, it's only dawning on governments now that providing uncensored and unfettered connections to their political adversaries can be used for information warfare. The idea that connecting the world will make it a better place and undo the millennia of tribalism is a romanticized platitude of the 1990s.

- Artificial intelligence. The situation will only be exacerbated by letting AI loose on the internet. Whatever humans can do online, AI can do much, much better—or worse, depending on your perspective.

The outcome of these things will be that countries will have a more restricted and censored version of the current internet. We'll follow China's example, and have a European internet, US internet, etc.

The internet will survive. It will just be very different.
Thanks! Now the pressure is on :-)
Yes, that is why OTOY is now using CUDA for their rendering engine, or Unreal Nanite based on compute shaders.

Metal is based on C++14, CUDA nowadays can use most of C++20, and HLSL is going into becoming more C++ with HLSL 202x. Not sure about current state of NVN and PSSL.

Regarding waiting for features, it depends, it is already so that many graphics techniques can be fully done with shaders, when that isn't the case is because some primitive is missing, which will mean that there will be always the case that you need to wait for such primitives to be made available.
Absolutely 0 doubt about that. Just look how at the beginning they tried to blame it all on incompetent african pilots. Human lives have wildly different values to us based on race, ethnicity, religion, remoteness etc., I don't like it but this is still very much part of human nature.

How much do you care if plane with 150 civilians falls down in remote russia or china and everybody burns to charcoal? Now compare it to same number of your neighbors or even just unknown people from your own town meeting the same fate.
GitHub release builds provide no whatsoever guarantee of having been built by GitHub from the corresponding source, if I remember correctly
Show HN: I made AI sales reps for live product demos
KivyMD has a good selection of Material Design compliant widgets for Kivy. It does for Kivy what MUI does for React.
I suspect that though the author describes running a USB cable to the house, he may be preparing it for remote operation.

(If you can count on it being next to a house where you can run a USB cable, you could also just power it off USB and skip the battery, right? So the battery must be designed in for a reason.)

The mic is a condenser mic, so a pre-amp is needed, XLR or not.

Cheap mics tend to be single-ended things without the balancing transformer or amplifier, so that would all be extra cost. XLR connectors and cables are more expensive. You'd want to go into some audio interface with XLR jacks which is also more expensive.
Depending on what content I am watching, sometimes I learn more from the comments than from the video itself.
Plea deals rob victims from the truth they need for closure and recovery.
On top of that, plea deals also undermine public trust in the rule of law.
I wonder how "happy" the Judge is for being forced to give it credibility...

In today's world, owning stocks is an active way to grow your wealth and engage with companies you care about. As an avid investor, I enjoy investing in great companies but found it challenging to stay updated with tech investments and news. To address this, I've developed an innovative stock analysis tool that automates these processes.

This tool, real-time stock information from Alpha Vantage and Yahoo Finance. Using a combination of quantitative methodology and machine learning, we predict stock prices through linear regression. Additionally, I use Perplexity AI to analyze news articles, categorizing them as positive, negative, or neutral. This dual approach ensures that investors have a comprehensive view of both technical data and market sentiment.

Key features include:
- Real-time technical analysis: Enter the ticker of a stock to receive the latest candlestick chart and key indicators like Bollinger Bands and Moving Average Lines.
- Quantitative investment metrics: Evaluate stocks using advanced indicators such as the Sharpe Index and Volatility Index.
- News sentiment analysis: Get a summarized view of recent news articles categorized by sentiment to inform your investment decisions.

My goal is to continually enhance the accuracy and usefulness of this tool through machine learning and statistical analysis, making it an invaluable resource for investors.

I believe this service has the potential to revolutionize the way people invest in stocks, making the process more accessible and data-driven.

If you are interested in investing in this project or want to learn more, please contact us at haebom@23que.com. I look forward to your support and collaboration!

Thank you for your interest.
A local shop might as well make things worse if they do not care too much and give your skis the standard treatment (e.g. different angle than before).
Once you have a good edge, it's kind of similar as keeping a knife sharpened. No need to really grind every time, a fine polishing after skiing for a day is more than sufficient and makes your edges last a long time.
Been using tools from here for 10+ years, they also have informative instructions: https://www.tooltonic.com/
That’s a completely separate concern, it’s not like a new language server is downloaded for each file you open. I don’t know if Zed has a “safe mode” like some other editors, if it doesn’t you should ask for that instead. Unless of course you never open untrusted files in a language you’re familiar with, which would make you extremely peculiar.
I built a new software product that does fully automated, live product demos with AI agents. They share their screen and basically replace sales reps demoing the product.

I mainly use Google Meet's API (hosting the meeting), OpenAI GPT v4o (llm), 11labs (for voice), deepgram (for the transcription of the meeting) and Twilio (to connect to the meeting).

Of course, it's early days (I built this yesterday) but so far, the results looks promising.

Unlike pre-recorded demo videos, AI agents can screenshare and demo the product while also responding in real time to questions and handle objections as they arise.

What do you think?
The world wasn't that boring without a phone in your pocket. That's just a symptom of being addicted to online engagement. People got along just fine for most of human history with the internet to entertain them.
"We plead guilty for our poor test coverage"
> I don't really see the big deal here

Here's an idea: someone sends a dev at some company, or even a freelancer, some code. Code references a module with a malicious npm package (say, with a postinstall script). Dev opens it in zed

Now, my untrusted code is running on your machine, probably without your knowledge
Same for any user story, persona, tester, ad nauseam
Shareholders have limited liability. Management does not.
So the worry is the Zed team themselves will inject something into the binary?
> I suppose the modern workflow is to 3d print one: but perhaps other consumers, like me, buying a $20 SBC and a $20 display have not outlayed for a 3d printer.

There are a few options here, including 3D-printing-as-a-service. Depending where you are, there may be a makerspace you can visit - even my local library has a small 3D printer available for use
I developed a recorder project last year that make's this easier and you could deploy it on a Raspberry Pi zero and use a wifi link.

It's using a cheap (0.40c) sound card, but personally I choose to have high quality mics (primo em272 mic capsules, used in high quality parabolic systems.

However, there's nothing to stop you using < 10.00 euro microphones.
Not asking the user for consent for software updates is quite common.

My corpo rejects a lot software, because they do exactly that.
The technology has been around for about one year now. For people who have been working in the field for as long as I have (> 30 years), the output is absolutely incredible. Really incredible...
However, for the vast armies of academics and others who went on a different route, the result is bitter. We failed to deliver anything close to LLMs. I put myself in the list.
The problem is that many of these technologies have been developped by the GAFAM, which very people have confidence in, for obvious reasons, however these were the only entities with enough computing power to do so. Nothing surprising here. Now we have many people who think that AI is a hoax and that it is going to burst soon. There is something pretty religious here, it reminds me of these people who get convinced by gurus that the world will end on a specific date for reasons... Even in its state, AI is already incredibly useful, and I don't see anything to convince me that AI has reached a glass ceiling. Believe me, 5 years ago this glass ceiling was much.. much lower than today.
Twenty days is still pretty serious, $1500 for a pass or $150 for a day ticket, gas, gear etc. So pay for at least one tune per year, maybe even three if you ski groomers with groomer type skis a lot.

An effective way to test your bindings - put your skis on at a flat area and with boots done up, dig your edge in and try to twist your boot out of the ski binding with your own muscular power. It will hurt a bit and be hard to do, but if you can't, you need to lower your din.
The article is fine, it's the discussion that is maddening here. Sometimes HN is just too much.

This would have been great n-gate bait. Too bad that site isn't updated anymore.
Gonna use this when I practice drums
Honestly, I don't think this is necessary... I see notepad as the most barebones "open a text file edit it and close it" program, like nano. I found the win98 version online a while back, and it works fine on my win11 machine, and I think I prefer it to the current version
I expect that this is part of the plea deal, though: the company pleads guilty, on the condition that key people get immunity.
Thanks for the correction. I had just never heard of 5° degrees as a base bevel. Not sure why you seem defensive. Isn’t 0.5° (or lower) the factory tune for slalom skis? Might only be a thing for U16+.
This looks great! Since jupyter notebooks are used by a lot of people (like scientists, business analysts etc) I think there's a genuine niche for just having a jupyter notebook client for folks to get started with quickly.

Adding something like built in .venv support and even python distribution would be immense (I'm thinking of a dream scenario where installing something like this gives a beginner all the tools to get up and running python notebooks with) any plans for that on the roadmap?
Don't be ridiculous. Yeah, we truly need consequences for corporations (and arguably their leaders) that isn't just cost of doing business, but the upper end of your suggested sentence is a span longer than written history.

Wanting a harsh sentence is fine, but lets limit it something we can likely see done before the end of our civilization in its current form.
This misunderstands how "security by obscurity" came about, because there are good and bad types of obscurity. Back in the 1800s people were selling shoddy locks that were easy to pick and they were mad that people were disclosing lock picking methods: https://www.okta.com/identity-101/security-through-obscurity...

This history repeated later, with people making shoddy cryptography where they didn't want anyone to know how it worked, and similar things, most of which got broken in embarrassing ways. This sort of obscurity was actively harmful and let people sell defective products that people relied upon to their detriment.

Meanwhile, there are good types of obscurity, too. For example, there are the information disclosure CWEs that tell users of products not to disclose version numbers, stack traces, etc. to users, and this sort of "obscurity" is perfectly reasonable and widely accepted.

So it's not the case that all things that might be termed "obscurity" are bad.
This is how I feel about cars that can drive themselves 99.9% of the time. The remaining 0.1%, the most difficult of corner cases, are to be handled by the human who has no experience driving even in good conditions.
This kind of article or reddit post and discussion is how you know, at least for some people.

Anyway, you asked who would care. Now the topic has moved to "what to do about it", which is hardly an issue. Of course people who think Zed has a problem will not use it. That does not make it a non-problem.
It’s all still bytes under the hood, albeit standard bytes. Personally I’ve not found the ability to open my css files in Word beneficial!

Many editors are already altering what is stored on disc before presenting it to you - type annotations, code folding, git info. I think we could do a lot if our default storage was the semantic representation of the code.
They do it in services centers for few bucks and in a few minutes. It actually does massive difference on icy slopes - it makes difference between being helpless and being able to control where you are going.
Our governmental methods of punishment for corporations strike me as lacking. This seems similar to Wells Fargo, where ok, the company was fined, sued, made to pay restitution (somewhat) to victims. But underlying it all, the culture and incentives at the company that produced the situation didn't get fundamentally changed. Which often perpetuates across specific leaders, boards, and is a part of what a company is -- and doesn't just get replaced by removing one or two people.

What does it take? You have to dismantle a company before it changes these kinds of deep-rooted issues? Or can a government penalty call for that? That is hard to achieve. Who's going to change the evaluation procedures that HR has in place to measure what rating or bonus you get this year? That seems to me as important as who is CEO.

None of the penalties courts mete out (short of dissolution/fined into bankruptcy) seem to be able to achieve this level of change needed.
SanFran is definitely choosing #2, but the problem for people wanting affordable housing is that there's a ton of inertia that affects real estate prices, so it could take decades to make housing more affordable, unless some kind of collapse event happens. The bay area is still a huge employer in the tech sector, and companies can't just pick up and move on a whim. There's been some action to move away from that area (and California in general) over the last decade but most of it hasn't gone very far for various reasons. So people are still earning huge salaries, and paying enormous sums for rent in the area while having to put up with feces on the sidewalks and boarded-up stores, and this could go on for a long time.

But there's probably a lot of other not-so-well-known mid-tier US cities where they don't have the huge inertia provided by the tech sector, and are going to turn into relative ghost towns much faster, as people look for more affordable places to live where there's also good jobs in their sector and a lifestyle or local culture they favor.
These are my opinions

Use sentence case, eg "assists in reading..." should be "Assists in reading..."

Remove the apple logo - it's cross platform and that logo looks misleading

For Linux/Web you can just put "coming soon" under the titles, if you are working on it. (Instead of seeing the blocked icon when we hover over it)

"Origin of codemap" could be "Motivation"

Try a non default font

In the "Visualizing code structure" area , it's not obvious that the three sections are clickable, it's a bit too dim. Make each subsection clickable rather than just the title.
There are server cards (or were at least some time ago) with tiny bit of mildly radioactive material, well enclosed of course, and a good sensor for those isotopes/particles.

I've heard other approaches including that static too, ie the famous analog TV without real signal, IIRC its cosmic microwave background, or camera watching water drops fall or similar. There are many other ideas (and probably products too), the only thing is one needs to keep it 100% reliable across long time.
YES! I've been programming for 55 years, so far, and have never used an IDE except for one year playing with Turbo Pascal and Turbo C. I've always answered questions over on /r/learnpython like this:

Q: I want to learn python, what IDE should I install?
A: Why learn both python _and_ an IDE? Just learn python on the commandline.

Though I'm happy in my curmudgeonly rut, it's nice to meet a fellow minimalist aesthete.
Banks are declared “too big to fail”. Banks! How can a bank be so important, and ostensibly private, that it can’t fail and let its shareholders take their licks?

There is no world - none - literally no possible universe - that Boeing cannot sell to the government, or that it fails, or that its planes get grounded indefinitely, or anything even remotely close to this outcome.

There are 2 plane makers of appreciable size on earth, Boeing and Airbus. They are essentially government owned enterprises.

Boeing has made a strategic decision and nothing of consequence whatsoever will come of this. Maybe a few people go to jail for a few months. That’s literally it
I detuned my edges under the boot area when I was younger and only focused on park skiing. Catching an edge on a box or rail was a fear I had. Never tuned the edges on any of my twin tips. I did wax them though!
In the 00s there were a lot of them for Windows, since OSX introduced them and Windows devs tried to duplicate them. Some were really awful, needing a lot of time to render the prompt window (it was the age of the spinning disk, if that's an excuse). I've been running https://www.donationcoder.com/software/mouser/popular-apps/f... for maybe 20 years..
I was going to mention this too; I used to have my hockey skates sharpened regularly, but I don't recall ever needing ski edges sharpened. Waxed, yes. Sharpened, no.
> it's built with Electron
Feel free to submit some more interesting videos then :)
> Not clicking yes for every language server.

How many language servers are we talking about here for the average dev? Three?
I believe the question is asked backwards. We should be asking why people decide to have kids in the first place. And it is not that easy to answer this question.
So those who catch the money because "they are the ones making the decisions and taking the blame" will only get the former and not the latter?
Good suggestion! I long didn't use Everything out of SSD wear concerns, adding yet another indexer to Windows.

Then got the idea that you can of course simply disable Windows Search Indexer service, and Windows gracefully accepts that. Sure, a few integrated search methods like in Explorer or Start Menu stop working or as efficiently but Windows will then tell you when, and you just adapt to using Everything instead.

So I did, and it's just SO much more efficient at both keeping the index updated and finding my files thanks to being MFT based rather than walking through the file system.
Yeah, I also used Lynx, and then use xv to check the images.
tbh this "article" looks a lot like a reddit outrage post.
"Action would be too difficult / we don't like it" =/= "there is no action available".

This is just refusing to take responsibility for their decision. "We don't feel like doing it" is the truth, and it would be best to state it plainly. Of course there is no obligation to do otherwise, which makes it strange to play with words.
> "Last winter, I rode a ski lift alongside a guy who claimed to be a retired Olympic ski tuner."

On another note, this is apparantely a high-risk occupation due to exposure to PFAS and other carcinogens in ski wax. The FIS recently banned the use of fluorinated wax in competitions, but it was the norm for many years. Not great to be a ski tuner breathing in all those heated/aerosolised PFAS compounds...
Bird illustrators help science soar in an AI age
Thinking about it a bit more, yeah I reckon you're probably right. :)
I was doing this trick with word embeds in 2017 - cosine similarity all to all, then take average similarity for each word to the others to rank them, then use these ranks for a weighted sum to embed the document.

But the fundamental problem of embedding is that they refer to the raw text, not its meaning. For example "What is the most frequent letter in this question?" won't embed like "t". Calculated inferences don't get embedded, only the surface level. You can't search for "funny scenes" in a book, unless the jokes are explicit.

This means we need to use LLM to "flesh out" the kind of things we are likely to search later. Raw text must be studied before indexing. And if you need, reindex to update the analysis as you extend the scope of queries.

Going even deeper, any new piece of information added to a corpus might shed new light on everything else, think of a plot twist for example. The analysis stage needs to iterate and aggregate data until it stabilizes.
Start Menu and type away is a Windows... 10? 8? (Edit: Vista) addition. They had these launchers for Windows XP (OS X introduced them, and Windows devs copied the idea)
