Yep, that's exactly why you're much better off with Maven. Last I knew it was still possible to build Android apps with Maven, even if it's not the primary/recommended way.

> Veganism in the form of religion that thou must not deviate from is entirely counterproductive, IMO

Do whatever you want but what’s actually counterproductive is attempting to the blame the small percentage of the world’s population that are vegan or follow a vegan diet.
I honestly believe the bang for your buck is the best it has ever been for macs. The entry level hardware is also reasonable priced when looking at similar specced lin/win machines. The high end is pricey but so are HP/Lenovo workstations.
Do I Have Internet?
Ideally we'd have the equivalent of an ipython notebook for the terminal. But GUI on Unix is still an unsolved question with more and more incompatible implementations being written daily, so I'm not holding my breath. After using Linux for over 20 years now, I've concluded that if you want a desktop OS, use Windows. If you use Linux, learn to live in the terminal - it's the only consistently working piece of the OS, everything else is consistently broken.
I'm just nitpicking, but it's unlikely that the inventors of both had empty set and zero formalized to a degree to make them distinct.
Get rid of the "older" in the whole idea and you're onto a social issue that needs addressing. But like any other social issue, this cannot be solved by technology, even if loudmouth tech morons like to pretend otherwise for that sweet sweet public funding. To quote Douglas Adams on the whole robot idea:

"The Encyclopedia Galactica defines a robot as a mechanical apparatus designed to do the work of a man. The marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation defines a robot as 'Your Plastic Pal Who's Fun to Be With'. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy defines the marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetic Corporation as 'a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes'."
Some fish species are actually harmful to the environment. In the Nordic countries they often try to get rid of the roach, which muddies the water and destroys the habitat of more worthy fishkind.
Please do share what you learn! I'm considering switching from mac to Linux, and wezterm is my daily driver.
Can't go vegan? Why not
i will not give up meat for tofu, no matter how tasty the tofu is (and it is tasty).

What i will do is eat both meat _and_ tofu.

The idea that people would voluntarily stop eating meat and switch to a vegitarian diet is just wishful thinking.

I had to move my system to a new SSD with more space, mostly because the great Python venv system makes it that each project takes up between 5Go and 30Go of disk space, so having 224Go was not enough anymore.
Nvidia driver didn't install properly so second reboot was to a black screen. Thankfully after some fiddling with packages it worked again.
Then the old ways I loaded up ssh-agent didn't work anymore, so it took a few logouts to find a new one.
I tried to recompile my CV, but somehow Latex dependencies all changed names, so I had to track down missing packages. Then it still would not compile because the names of the fonts had changed. Configuring the font line was frustrating as xelatex and pdflatex did not expect the same line, and both crashed on a different error that did not lead to an easy solution.
When I tried some game on Steam, it just crashed without an explanation. After checking ways to boot it from the CLI -- which is unsupported but search results lead to partial solutions to that problem anyway -- I found that it was possible to add a DEBUGGING argument to the proton command. Searching the error lead to simply find that some lib was missing (actually the challenge was in finding the proper error to search for). I'm the most amazed at this one since this is not in any way "developer software", but a standard user one, for which at least 1 hour of pain would have been removed by an optional dependency.

I'm cutting down the list but it took days to solve every single broken thing.

By coincidence I watched "how to prevent the collapse of civilization" by Johnathan Blow. His point that nobody is surprised anymore that everything breaks and is bugged, it has become the baseline expectation.
You do not need names to identify people to the community around.
You know this already, I think, but a pretty widely-used metric of utility in science is whether or not:

a) a theory makes predictions that match the results of a set of prescribed experiments

b) those results are reproducible by unrelated third parties following the same experimental guidelines

For some theories like EM we're at the point where the body of known experiments and predictions is so vast, and so many edge-cases have been probed, that we basically expect the results to generalise to the known universe.

But yeah, there's a long tail of science with a much weaker claim to "truth" or utility than this. I agree with you (I think? might have misunderstood you) that it starts to become more of a cultural or social phenomenon in these cases.
I suggest you reread the artixpe more carefully. Your comment makes no sense in context.

Rye installs as a shell script you pipe to bash

curl -sSf https://rye.astral.sh/get | bash

(I believe this downloads the correct binary for you. Rye is a single binary built in rust but it will also download a version of Python to use for some operations)
or you can download a zipped tar file from

It sounds like this was a terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible company. I suppose it's telling that a Google search mostly turns up your story about the company, and an assortment of random mentions from a decade and a half ago. How did Sayagle die in the end?
It IS slow, no argument there, but I never find the speed of a package management tool too important.

Maybe it's different for other ecosystem such as node etc., but when I'm doing research in ML I config my project mostly just once and do the bulk work (install cuda pytorch etc.), later it's mostly just activate and occasionally add some util packages via pip.

What makes conda better than native venv+pip is its extensive libraries/channel and be able to solve/build complicated dependencies effortlessly especially when you have to run your project on both Windows and Linux.

This is not to say speeding up isn't needed, of course!
It’s self-hostable. Although im not seeing the link to their GitHub on the main vdo.ninja site. It’s linked to from their docs page though.

https://github.com/steveseguin/vdo.ninja

I think the streaming happens P2P either way. So if you don’t self host it I don’t think you incur a latency hit. It should route the video straight from phone->PC. It doesn’t route through their server as far as I know. (Edit: I stand corrected. Their docs mention an encrypted TURN server may get used if a direct connection isn’t possible)

I do use the self hosted version anyway. Was pretty easy to setup.
Stop buying overpriced ink jets. I get knock off laser cartridges for cheap and they last a couple years each. I did have to push a few random buttons on my Brother to let me do it, but it works now
Yes. You choose a standard version (usually the latest stable 3.12 currently) that it downloads at setup or it downloads and sets up the pinned version from your pyproject.toml.
sd-boot on Debian 12+ is mostly self-configuring, and the folder structure is just one folder? Not sure what's messy about that.

I don't think I know a single person who's never eaten fish nor I think it is possible at all.

Even if you think you do, fish is actually added to a very large amount of processed food even if it has nothing do to with fish at all.

Worchester sauce, salad dressing, protein bars, gummy candies, margarins, anything that contains omega 3, vitamins and an infinitely larger amount of fish and fish oil/paste is added to virtually anything you can find in the supermarket.

Pork-derived collagen is the industry standard when it comes to clarification (e.g. people don't like to see wine that isn't transparent and has no sediments) so they are surprised there's pork used in a gargantuan amount of food. Same happens with fish.

It's extremely unlikely people haven't eaten fish, even if they don't know it.
I'm in Tokyo now. It's interesting how Tokyo can still support electronics parts and surplus stores, but Silicon Valley cannot. Granted, it's a bigger, denser metropolitan area, but I'm puzzled that the demand isn't there in California (or New York, where Canal Street was similar to Akihabara 45+ years ago.
Not at all, I was imagining over speccing the system.

E.g. this weekend I went to a show at a 70,000 seat arena. Knowing from experience, there are 4 entrances. This time there were 10 people scanning tickets at the gates I entered. Friends reported the same at the one they came in.

5 RPS per scanner is obviously overkill, but if those 10 at one gate were linked to a hub that could issue 5 RPS I would call that adequate, if barely.

If all 4 gate areas were linked centrally to a system that could do 5 RPS, well, actually, that might explain the throughput I experienced getting through lol
> They have less food than before you took it, how is that not depriving them?

That's my point. You keep conflating copyright infringement and stealing. Conceptually and legally, they are different.

> How are they taking your surplus time? Nobody is forcing you to buy IP?

In order to earn a living, I have to give away my rights to the IP that I produce. I don't have any time left to produce IP that I could give away freely. My point is that it's not as simple as claiming that people can produce IP for free, given the status quo. IP law makes it more difficult for people to give away IP for free.
There is already nothing left to take away before you've made anything, so just don't start the project and you have perfection.
Probably a more realistic approach would be to convince people to eat less meat. I significantly reduced my meat consumption, but when I eat it I am looking for really high quality meat, such as locally grass fed beef.

Show HN: Print Your Personalized Playing Cards with Only SVGs
It's more about the nature of the problem, not that you can't do it in shaders. After all, I think you can do pretty much anything in shaders if you try hard enough.

Even if you already have a GPU renderer for glyphs and any other vector data, you still want to know where to actually position the glyphs. And since this is highly dependent on the text itself and your application state (that lies on the CPU), it would actually be pretty difficult to do it directly on the GPU. The shader that you would want should emit positions, but the code to do that won't be easily ported to the GPU. Working with text is not really what shaders are meant for.
GPT puts no size limitations on the FAT32 EFI System Partition. Your bootloader can be as big as you want it to be, which is why just booting off of a Linux kernel image with an initrd in the same file has been a valid option for years. Not sure why Lennart feels compelled to reinvent this particular wheel again.
I was thinking along similar lines.

It would great if incidental and multiwoven used some standard connector library instead of Slack's api so that I can seamlessly use them with other services like Teams which we use at work.
Show HN: I built a Fast Video/Audio Translator to localize Videos for all
Hi Hackernews Community,

Have long been a fan of yours.

Waited long to perfect my video/audio translation product as a solopreneur. Now, we have a testable product with 10,000+ monthly users.

We are not perfect yet but we provide a ton of features. We provide AI-generated subtitles. We let the user edit the subtitles and timestamps. User can edit the translated audio/video unlimited times without additional fees. We are in the process of making voice cloning free for all users, hopefully completing this weekend. We are launching a chrome extension and mobile app too.

Though we already get 10k users each month, we are offering the product to be tried out at a heavily discounted price tag so that we receive as many feedbacks as possible to become the best in the market.

Currently, we are marketing only through organic avenues like SEO, being a bootstrapped company.
We have created landing pages for each category : https://videodubber.ai/translate-video/ , https://videodubber.ai/translate-audio/ , https://videodubber.ai/translate-subtitles/ , https://videodubber.ai/translate-voice/ and then for each language like https://videodubber.ai/translate-spanish-audio-to-english/ .

Recently we concluded our translation efforts making most of the website links available in spanish and shifting the whole site to next.js (a heavy technical debt changing from flask and ninja2 to next.js)

We are at 700 clicks each day. Majority of these clicks convert to a free account but free to paid conversion is wayy less right now at less than 1%.

We have done many analysis to find out why but failed to pinpoint exact reason.
Turning to you, the Great Hackernews Community, to solve this mystery.

Most of our competitors charge 10x our price tag and offer similar or lesser quality(internal evaluation). Still, our conversion rate is less than 1%.

Need to seriously solve this mystery to stay afloat. We are making a ton of new products and training a text to speech engine to better vocalize sentences with contextual emotion. But these initiatives need fund which we lack until we solve this conversion mystery.

You can test the product yourself by going to the link.
Ask me anything, I will give you internal data on traffic breakup and everything.
Then, what were you suggesting?

The Decentralized Internet already exists: Mastodon, Tor, IPFS, (gasp) self-hosting, etc, etc, etc, provide the data delivery side and very few things are stopping you from hosting your own splinter DNS servers (or using one of the more-widely-used alternative nameservers) for the name resolution side.

Thing is, despite the fact that that all that (or functionally identical implementations of the same idea) has been around for decades, very, very few people use them.
For most people, I think it comes down to habits/practical stuff/availability.

Everyone most certainly COULD do it, but don't underestimate how our bodies and brains react to different foods/diets etc.

> I haven't made any claim that humans are special

The whole context of this thread is that humans are "reasoning" and LLMs are just statistical syntax predictors, which is "lesser", ie. humans are special.

> And your claim, in your own words, is that if mistakes are made in logical deduction, that means that the agent involved must ultimately be employing statistical auto-complete?

No, I said humans would be employing statistical auto-complete. The whole point of this argument is to show that this allegedly non-statistical, non-syntactic "reasoning" that humans are doing that supposedly makes them superior to statistical, syntactic processing that LLMs are doing, is mostly a fiction.

> leaning on a language model that really isn't even trying to understand the underlying logic.

You don't know that the LLM is not understanding. In fact, for certain rigorous formal definitions of "understanding", it absolutely does understand something. You can only reliably claim LLMs don't understand everything as well as some humans.

The Neuroscience of Resistance to Change
This is an extreme oversimplification based probably on the author's surroundings. I've met people recently who are extremely successful and good at persistently hacking away at a problem from different angles, but turns out are horrible listeners. In some of them however I've noticed they also have a tendency to stick to their initial solution, although not always. Simultaneously I am a pretty good listener, but noticed recently I stick to my plan more, sometimes too long, which is the opposite of my younger self that also hacked away at problems pretty persistently until they were solved. This potentially has something to do with a general loss of interest in solving some problems or types of problems (e.g. I'd done it in some form a dozen times).

People are a lot more complex, have their own quirks, traits and decades of reasons in their surroundings why they turned out that way, and continue to change all the time. A lot more complex than this simplistic, caricature, cardboard cutout view of people presented in the article.

It's based on an overall environmental impact per pound of meat.

Cattle produce a lot of methane while digesting, which is 200 times worse for the environment than CO2.

Beef also requires way more food and water.

Pigs produce much less methane and require less resources thus they are greener overall.

You could probably build a "virtual initramfs":

- linux tells the bootloader what folder the modules live

- bootloader just puts them all in memory

- linux just picks what it needs.

That's all the initramfs is anyways. The point is there's no reason to prebuild an image from inside Linux, you can just have grub assemble a simple fs on the fly.
I like meat. I'm fine promoting eating way less of it, but I will just never give up on it entirely.
How are you self hosting it? I find its requirements extremely heavy for a simple analytics solution. It requires a PostgreSQL and Clickhouse database. I don't find self hosting Clickhouse particularly easy. Wish they had an option to just use SQLite as an alternative.
Even with your own personal projects it can become a mare. If you like to code interstitial (in those quiet moments between your day job) and hot desk and have a multi platform environment its pain to just use those tool and setup for each new place - I code on Windows (+wsl), MacOS and linux sometimes. I uses github privately to sync everything. Its just me.

Rye is much quick to get started on a machine; install rye+git etc, pull project from git, rye sync. The sync command does all the lifting, installing python version that I set, setting up a venv and installing deps.

You can eat salmon in sushi rolls or just cut it into pieces and put on the bread.

With other fish, you typically have to fry them first, which is a complex affair. The result is also much less predictable. There are also bones and fish skin which doesn't contribute to overall experience positively.

I can eat salmon several times a week whereas cooking fish would be an once per month affair best case. Perhaps once a week if I didn't have to work for a living.
Can anyone knowledgeable comment on if farming insects, like grasshoppers that are apparently very efficient in turning feed to protein, will become a viable alternative for salmon and tuna farms?
