drug-free: to be without the detriments of an illicit drug enabling society.

What do you think the war on drugs means?
Perhaps, but it specifically says you should not use it for things like airtraffic control or where life and limb are on the line. If you use a rope to climb, when specifically warned that the rope should not be used for climbing, then can we hold the rope manufacturer resoonsible if someone climbs with the rope and dies when they fall?
What's the legality like on this? I know there's a comprehensive testing lab in Spain, but I feel like shipping LSD across the US via the postal system alone is a multiple felony, not to mention overseas travel? Is there a legal exception to this or is it just done on faith?

Just call it not open-source? May be. Freemium?
Zero.

Unless you can rationalize that into causing a large drop in ag markets (which is much more likely the results of trade wars, resulting govt bailouts for farmers, and the resulting issues that always fallout from such ham-handed trade wars).
The adage about South Korea is striking. What is the purpose of intense competition if the result is oblivion? Its difficult to imagine that a South Korea with 8 million people will still be South Korea.
Jscad-fiber: Create 3D CAD models with React
Hey everyone, we're working on building a library of electronics components and we're trying to get an AI to help us build it, but since tscircuit is a React project we thought we should also create the 3d CAD models in React!

This is a super early version and there's lots to improve but thought I'd share!
Korea, Japan, China, Singapore. It seems to be a thing that is well managed in countries that actually control their populations in some form, whether by immigration or strong laws.

It's amazing too. It's weird how many people are for drugs when such environments exist.

People who can afford as many children as they want with arbitrary safety do so at higher than the replacement rate [1].

After decades of explosive growth in the economic security and prosperity for the middle class in the post war period the trend reversed at some point. People debate when, 2008 is one plausible line to draw.

Like practically every problem in the modern would, the causal chain ends up at vast, unchecked, accelerating wealth inequality facilitated by capture and nepotism and corruption and decaying institutions.

Most of the charts don't load for me until I click a different "respondents" tab and click back, and the "prev" button at the bottom links to the current page while the "next" skips the next one altogether. They said it's their first year using Svelte, I'm not sure this reflects well on it ;)
Apparently, it's a methodology. While I'm not delving into that, I notice that only one paper addresses feminism, and the others all look gender-neutral on the surface, and appear to be strongly focused on aging.

My own experience is that music recognition increases with (my) age, and I've come close to perfect pitch, contrary to some studies I recall (not as well as the music). With the exception of some wildly overplayed pieces (IMO!!) which seem immensely popular, I can hear others over and over. I suspect it's either the depth, lyricism, vivid emotion, internal complexity, or stunning perfection in simplicity (a la Mozart)

Someone posted a Ukranian hymn, which I recognized as a movement from a Brahms symphony.

My observations only. YMMV. Music keeps me feeling young.

Because the reason consolidation has not happened is simple: There's no right answer, as there's no code explicitly defined by ASCII for ending a line. A major oversight.

If a code had been timely assigned, we'd have the correct way (predominant), and the legacy ways (mostly gone by now).
Ask HN: How can I oversee an e-com website development?
Hi HN,

I have a friend that asked me to help them build out a website for their D2C business that is entirely on 3rd party (like Amazon). They want me to oversee a team of freshly minted developers overseas to build out a website for them. I have 3 years android dev and 5 years data science experience, two CS degrees and feel up to the task. But I have no experience managing anyone, or guiding the development of a e-commerce website. Are there any resources that I can use to help that can provide some guide or playbook of sorts? A book or a blog site that contains some valuable nuggets on building out such a website?

Thanks for the wisdom HN!
Do some companies intend for their platform to feature remote code execution?
I wonder if copyleft projects can use this to find license violations and force the altered code into the open.
That sounds like you're using "type" to mean "representation", albeit with a lot of detail.

I may be odd, but my programming problems are rarely due to the number of bananas or how bananas are represented, but whether I'm working with the correct bananas.
Probably yes, because in the op's article it's using a bind mount from another kernel thread and it does show up in ps twice
"Using Python scripting and OpenCV, I had a working cross-compatible script in 10 minutes, for both Linux and Windows."

What took you 10 minutes would take me a long time to learn. I rather enjoyed making some basic Android apps. I didn't work with much hardware stuff and heard that part is tough due to all the variations.

String literals are not const char *, but const char[] in C++. They decay to a pointer when you pass them to the std::string constructor that takes one.
No… I fear you’ve missed the entire point of the matter, which is that async/await requires that you must go all the way up the call stack explicitly “await”ing things when you have introduced an “async” call (or similar wide spread changes to that effect). There’s no special magic utility function you can call you hide it away. That’s the whole point – and a very good thing, this thread argues.
There's a bigger issue here: OP describes writing prototype software on a desktop, and compares this to writing more production-style software on a highly constrained mobile device. This isn't an apples-to-apples comparison.

Python packaging is notoriously bad, and while you can get a Linux/Windows compatible script without too much work, getting to a single executable that just runs is much harder. Cloning a repo, setting up a virtualenv, installing an openssl dependendcy or whatever, is just not something that exists in the mobile world. We have to put more effort into the packaging, and that means a higher bar for things like this. There are answers to this in Python that claim to produce single, relocatable, Python binaries, and I've never seen one without a huge list of caveats. Even yesterday I was patching an open source library that didn't work inside one of these because it had the gaul to use... checks notes, os.path.

> Well, looks like modern mobile phones are not a great hacker's playground, huh?

This sums it up. They are not. The security environment on these devices pretty much ends this before you even get to writing any code, and that's generally a good thing. Phones are appliances for most people. There's a reason why "apps" took off in a way that boxed desktop software never did, and there's a reason why boxed desktop software on Windows did far better than package managers on Linux. Almost everyone wants more a more polished experience. Shipping a Python script running OpenCV to a phone is not going to produce a polished experience.
Twitter never really had any wildly profitable products.
Two thinks can be true (and are)

1. GitHub has a nasty privacy/security hole, where commonsense expectations about the meanings of common words are violated by the system.

2. Github has publicly announced that they don't care about this part of user data security (private code), so won't pay people to know tell them what they alreay know and announced.

Github won't pay you to tell them they are wrong when everyone alreay knows.

I think they've squandered it so much that I think it wouldn't be impossible for someone else to build a site with substantial traffic aggregating and sanitizing Amazon results (whether you could profit off of that might be a different question).

(I have seen people try this but it's immediately apparent that it's not hand-curated. I think selling that point needs to be priority.)
What's Hacker News' problem with open source AI?
There's an even stronger result. Every space filling curve's inverse is necessarily not locality preserving.

Should an inverse exist that is continuous then 2D space would be homeomorphic to 1D, but they're obviously different (if you want a proof, consider that removing a point from a line makes it disconnected while in 2D the space remains connected, now note that 'connectedness' is preserved by homeomorphisms).
No, I think they tried to correct them about that by saying "J is also up there" (implying "in contrast to Julia"), but I agree that that wasn't very clear, and that your clarification, even if it was under a wrong assumption, did help a lot. I stumbled across this as well.
> Are there any measures that show objectively how the middle class is being destroyed?

If by destroyed, you mean shrinking from 61% in 1971 to 51% of households now, then yes, there is data for that.

But that 10% decline was ~8% moving into above middle class and ~2% moving below middle class.

So yes, the middle class shrunk, because more people got richer. I'd also hardly call it destroyed - more like the % of people in various age groups has shifted, and people stay in education longer (meaning a higher % below middle), but those people over a lifetime will likely also become above middle class.

When you do the simple math that in 1970 about 25% of 18-24 were in college, and that % is now around 50%, and you factor that in, you can compute (or check Census/BLS reports for the same) to see outside people staying in school longer, the middle class is shrinking due to people getting richer.

I guess things aren't at negative as you imply.

Where does that quote come from? I have been saying it for years but I have lost the source!
This reminds me of a section from a category theory text that I encountered.

It had similarly 'crazy' what-ifs, including one where the author used the quadratic formula and interpreted some meaning from it.

It was a course only text, not distributed outside the university as far as I know.

No/low sugar isn't inherently better for you...just saying. Most of the time stuff that advertises that there's no or low sugar is packed with sweeteners that your body still treats as sugars...but massive food conglomerates have lobbied the FDA to allow them to say there's no added sugar.

Plus, if you're drinking fruit juice to help stay hydrated, you literally need sugars and salts to actually instigate the hydration process.

I'd argue that even propellent-less deorbit devices are a waste of time. The best answer is what we're doing now: rules about deorbit capability and orbit lifetime, as well as debris production. Even when there are failures, as long as they are a small enough percentage of the pie, debris won't accumulate faster than it clears.

Additionally, all the propellant-less solutions are low-thrust (or ground-based, which is another thing entirely). It's absolutely possible to orbit match, dock, and deorbit an object, but whatever low-thrust device you're using is going to deorbit as well. Maybe it's possible to launch a bunch of small devices like this to do cleanup, but it's not necessary or worthwhile.

This is a great example of a solution that sounds fun and interesting to a problem that's easy to understand at a surface-level. It gets attention and funding, but the real unsexy stuff (tracking, monitoring, collision avoidance) is where the money should go.
>> PhD students are in training, and replicating a published result is a great training exercise.

I just got my PhD last July and that sounds like boring drudgery rather than "good exercise". Good exercise is to have a student write their own paper, dig up their own references, formulate their own experimental hypotheses, run their own experiments, write up their own results etc. Re-doing someone else's possibly badly-done work is grunt work that should not be forced upon anyone.

>> PhD students ARE paid.

Haha. Good one XD
The cell organelles are a bit smaller than microelectronics that we can make with photolithography, aren't they?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)#1...

Even though that chart lists semiconductor process nodes as down in the single-digit nanometers, the articles about the semiconductor fabrication say that these are marketing terms and don't refer to the size of actual features produced by the fabrication process, which are apparently an order of magnitude larger or so.

So you could say cells are still doing some incredibly small-scale (yet voluminous) manufacturing, in a wet environment, such that we couldn't directly manufacture devices like that even if we understood all the details of how they work!
Because producing smoke and the smell of sulfur is how you keep your business afloat after an incident like this

Getting on your knees and admitting terrible fault with apologies galore isn't going to garner you any more sympathy.
Yeah. And we ultimately all quickly settled on the ISO-like format YYYY-MM-DD (with optional and varying delimiters, it does not have to be exactly ISO), which makes the most sense of all because you can just lexicographically sort it (e.g. when listing file names).
It's clearly not "completely" disconnected, otherwise there would be zero volatility in supermarket prices. But again a price is a price not matter what layer of the market it sits at, and all prices are subject to market conditions. Freaking out about some subsampling of them as being "real" in/de/stag/whateverflation in an attempt to shoehorn whatever noisy data you have into a signal that confirms your priors just leads to the kind of nonsense logic that produced the analysis I quoted above.

Why are they "ghost" accounts? Is that a moniker assigned to them, or is the author confusing "ghost" (i.e., a deleted user) with the actual user's name?
> I assume that eg. when exercising too much etc., even a healthy person would get a hypoglycemia?

I doubt so. I tried water-fasting for a week while exercising a lot and felt great. Fatigue from jogging felt nonexistent as compared to normal (my normal endurance is pretty low). Resistance exercise muscle fatigue felt way stronger (low recovery rate) than normal yet apparently didn't affect the brain as I neither felt sleepy, nor moody nor intellectually impaired.

I the Alexa app is also awful. Doesn’t follow any sort of standard design language, doesn’t seem updated in years and fails to help you understand the capability of the device.

Something simple like “alert me if my door is unlocked” using a ring device is impossible.
Sure but 1) there are many of us who are helped by WFPB and 2) Whole Foods plant based != plant based. High carbs was just my paraphrasing of what we do - lots of greens, lots of raw, elimination of meat, oil and sugar. And a bunch of other things. And while it helps reverse a few things, I agree it may not work in some or many scenarios.

This looks very promising. All the best growing it.

From my brief look at the site, the product seems to allow users to query and display data only. Can we edit the data at all?

It looks like this product targets teams and not well-suited to individuals (ie private note taking app with database like Notion). I did not see any way to create new data or edit existing data, or if you even have a mobile app.

> Are you objecting to the formal system breaking down or to the deviation from expected meaning?

I'm saying that's a false distinction, because as soon as you have that deviation from expected meaning, you have valid theorems that silently stop being valid and your formal system quickly breaks down. And while you can redefine your way out of each individual instance of this, everything you redefine just means more and more theorems that don't have their normal meaning which in turn means more things that you have to redefine.

> You could just say something like "to simplify error handling, our programming language uses a 'zivision' operator that behaves exactly like regular division except zivision by zero is defined as zero".

This would be a much better approach, because then existing theorems that use or refer to division are obviously not necessarily true of zivision and if you want to use those theorems to talk about zivision then you have to check (and prove) that they're actually valid first.
> When You Make Requests, Siri Sends Certain Data About You to Apple to Process and Help Respond to Your Requests

I noticed that when I drove out of cell reception range and Siri's speech recognition stopped working and I couldn't request an album from my music library; it's a cruel mockery of whatever "Neural Engine" chip they boast about being on the handset when they offload the work to the cloud somewhere.
That is a fair point. The only thing I use Co-pilot to do is to make stupid stuff like pictures of Wizards bowling.
That's such a big latency bottleneck though.

If we're looking at simple solutions with only short-term state, then pad the request packets and truncate responses that are much bigger.
Being able to attach and reattach consoles is cool. While I worked at Broadcom, I developed a kernel patch (whatever happened to it) which allowed you to have a stable serial console via a USB dongle.

I was able to unplug the USB-serial adapter from the embedded device's USB port. Then plug in a different USB-serial adapter (different chip requiring a different driver). It would obtain the same /dev/ttyUSB<n> device, and you would be back in your session intact. If you were in the middle of a vi edit, you could just Ctrl-L to refresh the screen and keep going.

But no one was hacked? Some computers were down for a little bit, but no breach occurred, no data was trashed or leaked, no unauthorized access was gained. This wasn't a security event. In fact, for huge numbers of systems going offline is a far better alternative than say, failing open.

Look at other security related companies of similar age and entrenchedness...

Okta was breached twice by bad auth on their ticketing system. They are an auth company. This led to other hacks. They still are doing OK, with growing revenue.

Solarwinds was breached and became the attack vector for several major hacks. They are still doing OK - in fact revenue has grown since then. (although solarwinds is much older).

Cloudflare has caused major outages - their revenue has grown too.

And on and on.

Crowdstrike has had a rough 2024. They are also still the company that was called in to consult on breach after breach for the last decade+. If they get their shit together, next month at defcon Crowdstrike people will likely be drinking for free (and being the butt of some jokes). By next year few people will even remember this, and very very few will be uspet/angry about it. A huge number of affected IT people are already looking at it as "haha those guys messed up" and not even thinking about "how do we get off crowdstrike". No software is perfect, and very little of it is even any-good - people are willing to give those who make generally decent software (and have an otherwise good reputation) a lot of slack.

I could be wrong, but I really doubt this kills the company or the brand rep.
