> However, if I had to bet, I don't think Nordstream 2 was Russia. Sweden and Denmark just concluded their investigations after almost 2 years and if Russia had done it there would've been some implicating evidence.

You should read the reports. Sweden was quite clear on how their investigation was closed because they determined that nothing indicated Sweden or Swedish citizens were involved in the attack, and that Sweden's jurisdiction did not applied anyway.

Denmark closed their investigation stating that even though they determined it was an act of sabotage, "there are not sufficient grounds to pursue a criminal case in Denmark".

> but there's a good chance it was US or Ukraine

No, there is only russian propaganda. They started to try to pin the blame on the US and UK, clearly to try to drive a wedge in NATO between continental allies and them, and only afterwards did they came with a bullshit theory involving Ukrainians on a yacht, this time to try to cool down support of Ukraine by EU members in a time when Ukraine needed them the most.

In the meantime, we are expected to believe that a theory pieced together involving a couple of Ukrainians in a yacht is plausible while multiple Russian ships loitering over the exact place where the explosions took place we're nothing substantial, particularly when said terrorist somehow kept intact Russia's only working gas pipeline feeding into Europe.

The very first version of MacOS had a pattern editor in 1984. Mac System 3.0 (1986) improved this with a number of pre-made patterns. One of the patterns is pixel for pixel identical to "wide-weave".

It is not useless and no one is saying that it is.

What we are saying is that GenAI will never be able to go beyond code helper or assistant and the people hyping these tools continually promise AGI or something that can solve complex problems.

The ROI is just not there and eventually there will be a margin call.
There are interesting ideas here, but also a lot of presumption. Just because a people lacked stone writing and centralisation doesn't mean they were free of local tyrants and internecine tribal warfare.
> Things like concrete (for tunnels) and water pipes (for mortars).

Those were both banned. The trucks were mainly food.

Also, the story was that they built rockets out of the pipes. In reality, they were remanufactured arms out of Israeli duds. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/28/world/middleeast/israel-h...

> Nowadays (as in the last few months) a minimum of 250 FOOD trucks enter Gaza daily. Sometimes as high as 350.

Current estimates are that 1000-1500 trucks a day are needed due to both the backlog of lack of food and the destruction of Gaza internal food production.

Kinda tricky if you want to call higher level operators in a wrapped language like Python.
Have you used Copilot? It is generally not creating code similar to GPL code, it is creating code similar to the surrounding context file.

Transformers predict the most likely next token, the most likely next token is usually related to the surrounding context.

So yes it can create code similar to GPL code but it can only do that consistently when the GPL code is included in the context. So don’t do that.
Like with most things, context matters.

If you have a "closed" system (such that "you" control the database, and all access to it) then upgrades are "easy" to do. You just upgrade the server and all clients.

If your system is more diverse then it's harder because in that case server and clients gave to be upgraded together. If I'm using multiple different programs (Accounting, Payroll, Access control etc) possibly from multiple vendors, then coordinating everything to happen at the same time can be impossible. If the server is not backwards compatible with old clients then you can get stuck.

In the case of SQLite for example lots of systems rely on the stability of the file format. Breaking that would not be welcome.
Interestingly, in Europe (where this regulation is being implemented), there are roads that are engineered to allow high speed driving and in places allow unlimited speed. Over here, it is pretty much impossible and the 100-120km/h speed limits on most highways are a trade off between safety and geography. It isn't a nice surprise to have an 80kg animal leap out in front of your car while you were 'safely' scanning the road some distance ahead. And because of socialized health care, we each have an economic interest in other people's safe driving. The areas over here with unlimited speeds are also interesting, as they are so remote and dead straight. Safe there is more about endurance than reflex, and understanding rarely understood facts about perception like how you need to move your eyes and head so you actually see objects heading directly towards you.
No, that’s what a second place is. A third place is for socialization, a second place is for work. Just because you’re relying on some independent small business owner to pay rent for your desk while you prevent other customers from patronizing the establishment and don’t talk to anyone, doesn’t make it a third place.
This is what I don’t understand. Why is someone like this treated as an investment guru, in spite of the easily available evidence to the contrary?

Why are you using your personal account for work?

_always_ and I mean _always_ have a separate github/gitlab account for work and private things, otherwise you risk getting a lawsuit of your (former) employers. Especially if your work contract assigns all intellectual property rights to the employer.

Brain surgery might be particularly skewed toward feeling barbaric. They are cutting a hole in someone’s head and digging around in brain tissue, often permanently removing tissue or skull. In 500 years time I assume they’ll give you a small drink of nanobots which find their way to the problem and solve it at the microscopic level. Until then, pass the bone saw.

Batocera.linux: Retro-Gaming Distribution
That really depends. I have been reading a lot recently on early Indian civilization, and really most of what we know in terms of historicity, aka writing in the earliest times, is only in the north, the Indus, the Ganges plains and so on. However there were many cultures living in the subcontinent south. Some of those “tribes” were deep in forests and survived relatively intact to the current day, with at least some features unscathed.

Then there is the trade of the early CE time. Trade between India and the Roman Empire over sea was of incredible proportions. Recently a sanskrit brahmi script was uncovered in an old Egyptian harbour port. So there must have been also a large group of people exposed to trade and exchange of ideas.

So I don’t think any broad sweeping statements can be made. To answer your question, it totally depends on the place and time you want to look at.
Its because people are sheep. And if you claim to be a guru and act like a guru, people will listen to you and follow you. It's really that simple. Just try. You can be a guru and earn millions. The only thing stopping you is that you are an ethical person who knows that the stuff will be incongruent. But if you can somehow get over that through either an act of god or being born in an environment where people treat you as special or just happen to get lucky few times etc you can be the next Cathy of your field too.

Sure! This is from around 2000. I was working at skateboard.com in San Diego and one of the founders was a ex Arthur Anderson consultant. He brought in Great Plains which took about a year to setup. Anytime there was anything wrong it was always with Great Plains so we just called it Great Pains.

It was kind of a sad situation because the two other founders were really passionate about skateboarding (one was the owner of Tum Yeto) and this guy just set a pile of money on fire and figured it would work out eventually. It did not.

Notepad for the longest time was just a lightweight app wrapped around a standard edit control. The same edit controls anyone could use in their applications.

Notepad was almost killed years ago, but shell dev/guru RaymondC[1] adopted it because people thought it was useful and he kept it alive.

Edit controls did not have spellcheck or autocorrect 41 years ago. The Ars writers are chronically misinformed/misinforming.

That's monkey patching, and it actually would've worked fine. There isn't enough context in the write-up to say for sure, but presumably he was just doing it too late, after the third-party library was already imported. At that point the third-party library has its own reference to the original function(s), so patching the reference(s) in the source module doesn't do anything. If the source module had been patched first, though, it all would've worked out.

It appears they have optimized a decent metric (profit) to such a degree that it starts doing harm.
I think the coolest thing from an experience perspective as far as a built environment with this is the opportunity to have spaces with different ratios and spacing.

I’m reminiscing about realizing from an American perspective why buildings in Europe felt so different. Old buildings sure, but new buildings feel weird! It finally dawned on me that the difference between imperial and metric had made its way to the build environment in subtle but pervasive ways that once seen could not be unseen. Case in point, European doors are wider, switches are lower, door handles are lower, rooms are just slightly off. Of course the reverse would be also be true. But contractors rounding to whole units for simplicity had standardized on a set of ratios that made things feel odd.

Would be cool to have an installation that embodied this. It’s subtle but talk about driving people crazy.
Nice dog whistle.

Classic property of medical science. The science of trials and errors. We know what works, under which conditions and doses and what side effects it may have. Thats useful, important and urgent with real consequences.

The "why" costs money, resources and an itch for genuine curiosity and ingenuity with mostly negative returns. So it remains unknown, while we focus on the combining 2 or more things we already know and see where that can be sold.

Another observation here is there's a lot of money riding on "pseudo science". See any superfood or beauty products for example. You take a data point that is demonstrated under certain conditions in a controlled environment. Make that single data point a centerpiece of evidence, tack the usual goop on it, market it, label it and place it on the front aisles of Trader Joe's. Now there's a lot of incentive to keep the "why" away from consumers walking those aisles.
Although it wouldn't have helped in this case, I do love the irony of a good typo in a post calling spellcheck and autocorrect "crap".

Also note, that she is making loads of money for her and her fund - through management fees. Of course it will stop eventually... but in the meantime, she will make hundreds of millions of $ in fees.
I have looked closely. Quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorie

> Some authors recommend the spelling Calorie and the symbol Cal (both with a capital C) if the large calorie is meant, to avoid confusion;[8] however, this convention is often ignored.

For example, the US FDA page on calories at https://www.fda.gov/food/nutrition-facts-label/calories-nutr... has:

> 2,000 calories a day is used as a general guide for nutrition advice, but your calorie needs may be higher or lower depending on your age, sex, height, weight, and physical activity level.

As for 'RAM is always GiB - it’s how it works.' - that's my point.

RAM by convention is in GiB even if the notation uses GB.

The "Crucial Pro 32GB Kit (16GBx2) DDR5-5600 UDIMM" at https://www.crucial.com/ is actually GiB, because the convention for RAM is to use "GB" to mean "GiB".

Even though that doesn't follow SI prefix conventions.

Just like the predicted currency of 75 years from now uses 99⁶ to mean 99 million, even though the superscript 9 is not currently a suffix meaning "million".
It's quite bad? It's the only one I've ever used.

I recently discovered low dose lithium for myself. (self-medicated OTC lithium orotate, 5mg 2x daily)

This has greatly improved my mood and attitude to life.

Lithium has removed most of my procrastination by eliminating negative thoughts (i.e. "that is a difficult task, so I better defer this to tomorrow"). Starting and finishing something has become so easy now.

All work and household related tasks are now lightweight (chores, washing dishes, making beds). All things I found annoying to do before.

I am generally happy, positive-minded and open-minded toward other people.

Lithium is not a sedative or a pain killer -- I am still normally tired after a day, but now I am prioritizing my time rationally, and not based on negative emotions.

Somebody said that Lithium is too cheap, no profit to make, so pharma companies will not spend much on further R&D.

P.S. Of course lithium is a psycho-active substance, and surely has some side-effects. All above is only my personal experience. Please consult your doctor and be extremely careful with self-medication.
VR needs a more powerful CPU and GPU than a MacBook Pro needs if you're trying to break into the VR gaming market (not saying you need a faster CPU than an M3, but VR is extremely demanding and will use all the CPU and GPU you can throw at it to maintain 90+fps with multiview rendering), especially since Apple keeps pushing Metal and not supporting Vulkan. (Metal tends to have higher CPU overhead vs Vulkan, and means you have to add an additional rendering backend for existing VR games)
Antidepressants are interesting but only part of the story.

People with depression don't fully understand how "broken" they actually are and normalise depressive behaviours further drilling in the issue.

I've dealt with bad depression before to the point of suicidal ideation and weird conspiratorial paranoia... on the other side of it you get a very realised perspective of what these words mean to sufferers instead of a surface level description.

Antidepressants seem to be a way to disrupt the usual flow of information and allow a rewrite to occur; LSD seems to be a theme these days for the same effect but I get the feeling something that's instantly hallucinogenic isn't the best way to rewire a mind... Research continues though.

Another example could be (for those who have been) addiction to nicotine or any other substance: You don't understand why someone just doesn't stop until you've experienced it firsthand. There are drugs that disrupt the addiction pathways and allow an addict to recover.
Yes, but most of them don't output pcap. Its just sort of every bit of decrypted data. Sure it works well for curl, but for nginx, or multiple connections, not so much.

Methanol has a lower boiling point than ethanol. That is to say, the first ounces distilled should have a higher concentration of methanol.

When I last made fresh squeezed orange juice, I took a sip of the first few ounces. That habit, which is common in cooking, could prove disastrous when distilling.
Sounds like you are making a reference. Can you link to an explanation?
There are a small number of OSS companies you can point to as being successful. Mozilla is successful, but basically their revenue comes from Google. So certainly one lesson there is to find a single giant benefactor.

Google, Facebook etc do have open source code, but not their "revenue earning" product. So perhaps the lesson there is to make lots of money somehow else and use that to fund your OSS projects.

MySql was kinda Open Source, but their license violated OSS principles. So the lesson there might be "call it Open Source, but lie".

Red Hat took a project made by someone else, avoided the development costs, and monetized packaging and support. (The then pushed some of that revenue back at the upstream projects.) So I guess the lesson there is to minimize development costs and maximise marketing.

None of which negates your point that some small number of companies have found success. But I'm not sure this helps random developer monetize their OSS project today.
Ask HN: What do you think putting channel code in a communication address?
The idea is to put channel codes into existing address schemes such as email, sms, phone call, etc. that can identify "for whom did I share this address".

This code will be generated as a random number, and I would like to use a method that prevents me from sending mail to my address without this channel code.

It will work like some kind of extended protocol in the existing communication protocol.

We have apparently suffered too much from contacts we receive from an unspecified number of people. Simply because someone has sold our contact information to another person, or has not managed it properly.

Some people would have been victimized by phishing, some would receive too many ads to get important news, some would profit off the hook by selling contacts without guilt

Wouldn't it be possible to reduce the damage if there is a random code attached every time you share an e-mail with people and record who you shared it with?

If I remove the code when I sell my contact to someone else, I think it's a pretty effective way if I can't get in touch with me without the code, and if I can't guess the code and deceive you into something else

In the case of phishing, when a criminal impersonates a state agency and makes contact, if the contact is from a clothing brand that joined last week, no one will be deceived.

No matter which channel you start to receive spam mail, you can refuse to receive all mail that comes to the shared channel.

You can even hold the person who provided the channel responsible for selling the e-mail address or neglecting to manage personal information without asking for consent.

Maybe it will be cumbersome to share your contact information.

But this may also make the process convenient for platforms or service layers.

There are many cases where you type your e-mail address directly when you sign up for membership, but there are many cases where you use chrome to type it automatically. At this time, the system can add a channel code and let you register automatically.

It can also be implemented through extensions and things like that. These days, passwords are also made into random numbers, so it's not that difficult to create a device that can alleviate this complexity.

So far, it's been a simple idea. Will it really work if it's implemented? Will it help people if I try to create a project that implements it?

Thankyou
