Fun fact, in the French speaking part of Canada, "French drain" are fully translated to "Drain français" because of this quirk even though we don't usually translate proper nouns.
One thing I regret after moving into my new house was not getting a detailed list of drains installed in the property. I have lots of drainage issues and don't know if there is a drain there but inadequate for the amount of water we get, or just not installed at all.
Steve's reviews are focused on gaming and he probably isn't wrong there. 9700X seems to bring very little for gaming, compared to 7700X. 7700X is almost the same performance, sometimes even better, and cheaper to buy. Most gamers do not care about 10% lower power consumption, especially when they have to pay more upfront for it.

Yes, the better energy efficiency allows 9700X to boost higher to get somewhat higher performance in multi-thread, but for some reason, gaming does not benefit noticeably. Zen 5 seems interesting for laptops and low-power client devices, but so does the new Intel Lunar Lake (for now, at least), so we have to wait for reviews and comparisons there.

> has not tested... floating-point computations, cryptography or ML/AI.

That is true, but small fraction of people care about these specialized workloads, it's overhyped in marketing. But if you care about those, I think you may be right that Zen 5 may be more interesting there.
Blasphemy! Thou shalt not present such claims without the proper scrolls and ledgers of sales to substantiate. Ist thou not acquainted with the more-expensive instruments of musical synthesis available?
The TL is high-crime and the Mission bart stations have crime. Not exactly shocking to anyone who has lived here
A dollar in an account is fungible. Are all the dollars that show up on the W2 going to the same account? Do some of them not even hit the main account?

If I made $3000 this month and $300 of that went to a retirement account and $1000 of that went to tax withholdings and another $300 went to child support, and of the remaining $1400, I had direct deposit put $1000 in savings and $400 in allowance... how would that be represented?

I contend that for this (these numbers are purely made up for ease of talking about):

(income 1)
$3000 -> $300 child support
-> $300 company retirement plan
-> $1000 tax withholdings
-> $300 allowance -> {various 'fun' expenses}
-> $1100 savings -> {various 'not fun' expenses}

(income 2)
$2000 -> $700 tax withholdings
-> $200 allowance -> {various 'fun' expenses}
-> $1100 savings -> {various 'not fun' expenses}

The 'allowance' and 'savings' are each one bucket that have a net $500 and $2200 coming in to them respectively.

Having $2000 and $3000 go into one big bucket of a 'main' account, while working under the 'all money is fungible' fails to capture some reality of how money flows. For example, if income 1 loses their job, child support goes to $0 (not $300 from income 2) as does the $300 for retirement and the $1000 for tax withholdings.
This is very impressive. I remember how time-consuming it was to edit the video manually. Good luck!

Yes it is a choice and security is a balance. You could encase the server in lead and drop that to the bottom of the sea, but that would be an extreme on the “security” side. You could do away with user authentication completely, that would be an extreme the other way.
I upgraded HAproxy on my server a few months ago, then enabled HTTP3. I haven't noticed any changes in performance, but the improvements in initial connection RTT seems worth it.

Even then, neither of those would fit the theme of the list above because they aren't named after their inventors (even though Ada is technically an eponym).
Isn't that where the term analog for continuous values comes from though? That they are voltages that vary in proportion to physical quantities? And therefore analogous to those quantities.
I recall it was used to execute a command line of text in MPW Shell.

Store exclusives don't seem like too much of an issue to me. There's a bit of added hassle in the same way there is for games with their own launcher/account system, but for the most part you're still able to get any game (and I believe even add it as an external game to your Steam library, if that's the UI you prefer) without significant cost/barrier to switching like there is for platform exclusives.

In exchange, it can add some much-needed competition on the developer side - with multiple stores competing to give a better deal. I don't think it's particuarly healthy to have pretty much just one store, sitting on a large cut and not doing much in the way of funding new games.

I do wish Epic would also improve in areas of Linux support/input binding/etc. though.
Hola HN,

I wanted to share a personal project born out of fluffy frustration. Like many of u, I've been fascinated by the recent explosion of AI image generators. But as I dove deeper into this world, I hit a wall.

The Problem
I couldn't find a single, reliable resource that:

Listed all the best AI visual tools in one place

Provided chill comparisons between different generators

Offered up-to-date information on features and capabilities

It felt like I was fumbling in the dark, wasting time and money on tools that didn't meet my needs.

The Solution
So, I did what any frustrated dev would do - I built my own solution. I'm excited to introduce """aiimageandvideogenerators.xyz""", a comprehensive directory of AI visual tools.

Here's what "AI Image and Video Generators" makes it unique:

Curated list of the best AI image generators, video creators, and other visual AI tools

Regular updates to keep pace with this rapidly evolving field

User reviews and ratings (coming soon!)

Why I'm Sharing This and sohuld this post teach you:

I built this for myself, but I realized it could help others facing the same struggle. And maybe I can cash on it by applying another filter to the AI trend. There is always a niche.
And, if people are fertilizing their lawns, all that lovely fertilizer runoff.
But things go from "everything is fine" to disaster in an extremely short period of time. A person remotely monitoring to take over in case of emergency would still have to be paying full attention and alert for the entire duration of the trip.

People are terrible at being "on active standby" like that. If they have to be really alert to the situation, it's better if they're really driving the car themselves than expecting them to recognize a bad situation and take over in time.
Instead of working to make the world a better place, now that they have drained the world, they want to protect themselves from the world. Would it really have been so bad to make the whole world better?
Right, it's not mythology. My dog barked when he saw a cat outside, and wanted to chase it. And he grew up with a cat.

(And by the way, showed no emotion at all when the cat had to be put down, although I'm not for one second denying that animals grieve.)

He ignored squirrels, oddly enough. Too many of those.
Is it actually true that crime in an area increases proportionally with population? Why would it?

Extremely high density but near zero crime would be inside a large office building.
I'm trying to think of a single one off-hand.

Possibly a very high fever or some sort of dehydrating bowel disease?

I guess you could call applying pressure to and binding a wound OTC, and you could possibly die if you simply choose not to do that?
Release.ai gives you complete control over your infrastructure and allows you to create the workflows that are best for your particular problem. You can go as deep as you would like using the open source AI tools available to you without restrictions.

Release.ai is much cheaper than those options even with our pricing on top of your cloud costs.

We are a single pane of glass no matter where your k8s clusters are running. You don't need to learn bedrock, sagemaker, gemini, etc in order to use gpus in different clouds.

Release also makes it very easy to create complete applications with web services and ai services together. No other platform allows you to do both easily.

We are a complete platform where you have total control over the software you select and how it needs to be integrated in your development processes.

Thanks for the kind words!
Most applications end up disclosing that anyways either by a success message in the password reset flow, or a "email already in use" message in the registration flow. Obscuring who has an account is a major commitment for the design of any unauthenticated api, one that's both difficult and often user-hostile. And if you trip up once you have a worst-of-both-worlds where you've both made your website worse for your users and attackers can still easily check if someone is a user.

Wordpress takes almost the opposite approach: They consider the fact that you are an author on a page public information. There is even the /wp-json/wp/v2/users api to enumerate them At least they don't show email addresses, but you can also login with the username. ([1],[2] for examples in the wild).

Of course as a wordpress admin you can decide differently: extensibility is one of the core pillars of wordpress. Security arguably is placed behind extensibility and user-friendliness.

> I feel like the supply of 5800x3D will probably disappear pretty soon and the close out prices with it.

AMD has introduced several new 5000-series processors this year, including the 5700X3D that's basically a 5800X3D with slightly lower clock speed. They're not cutting off production of these parts any time soon.
I stick to Django User + custom secret link via email for my pet project. No need to remember any password or 3rd party auth flow.

Ask HN: How different is AWS/GCP/Azure in everyday work
I've almost exclusively been working with GCP for years, with very few occasions when I've created some resources in AWS (I'm managing infra using terraform).

When looking a job now, it's very common that I'm rejected before TI because I wasn't working with AWS. Is it really so fundamentally different from GCP or any other cloud provider for that matter? I have a wild feeling that 80-90% of the products all cloud providers offer are same toys but with different names and integrations mechanisms. There are surely some quirks that are exclusive for a specific cloud provider, but is it really that many to stifle your performance?
> I do think it's good to be polite to anyone who calls

Out of curiosity, why?

It might be (probably is) my asocial personality and the fact that getting interrupted is very triggering for me.*

But while I am amenable to the argument that there is no use in being rude to someone who cold calls, I can't help but pick on your choice of words: "good to be polite to anyone"

Is it morally good to be polite to someone who wants to harm you? Perhaps if they are physically threatening you and politeness is part of your deescalation strategy. But a cold caller? I like to believe that there is a special rung of hell reserved for cold callers (right next to lawyers and people who talk at the theatre).

I don't go out of my way to be mean or nasty to them because there is nothing of value that can come from that.

But they certainly don't deserve a "please" in front of "delete this number click" in my personal opinion.

It's a big problem for photographers too. Especially with the rapid progress of mirrorless cameras there is always the next camera or lens you need to get. I have bought lenses and never used them. I have also spent more time on looking for accessories for my 3D printer than actually using it.

A major lesson of home ownership is that it is a continual fight against water. Keeping water away from places you don't want it, and keeping water in and available in the areas you do want it.
Haha, that’s masterful. I had no idea but reading it again now it feels so obvious. :D
I would say an analog synthesizer is an analog computer. The input are for example voltages to simulate notes, and the computational output is a waveform. I prefer analog because digital synthesizer, at least for Subtractive synthesis, are only a simulation of the real instrument. The downsides are not unlike other analog computers, noise and dependence on temperature distort the output.
It's an important truth that walking a mile in a high population density area puts you at a higher crime risk than walking a mile in a medium or low population density area.

Thanks for sharing this. I've never seen Sankey diagrams used for budgeting, but it feels very intuitive!

I'm wondering about how budgeting tools like this help with planning vs budget auditing? Or maybe what I'm thinking of has a different name?

When I think of budget planning, I'd like a tool to tell me what would happen to Y if I did X (e.g. how would buying a car today [purchase plus recurring costs] effect my maximum home down payment in 12 months)? Or if I want A, what can do to B, C, and D to make it happen (e.g. if I want to save for a trip to New Zealand next year, how could adjust my budget to reach my goal)?

I'm not sure if what I'm describing is planning or not, but I can imagine visualizations helping with it!

Does the house have a sump pump? In our current house, which we bought with full knowledge of the issue, there was seepage and no sump pump, and we ended up having one installed (after negotiating down the sale price a bit after the inspection.) This involved jackhammering through the unfinished basement floor around the perimeter and installing a drainage pipe, then repouring that part of the floor w. inspection/cleaning ports into the pipe, along with a sump and pump in one corner. Works like a charm now.

There had been a drainage pipe but it was not working properly, probably being crushed or filled at some point by tree roots.
Yep can confirm. Had two cats and when the one died this last winter her brother has been definitely acting differently. It’s kinda sad, I can tell he’s trying to find her still too.
Parking turnover probably scales with population density. One of the reasons parking is more expensive in big cities is to encourage people to move their cars sooner. Smaller cities will have more cars that never move, where larger ones will have fewer.
This is surprising to me. Surely the place is a loss leader, or their position is not as starkly poor as you make it sound. I'd wager the latter.

Trader Joes will always be cheaper given how they work.
Mythology? Dogs are a natural predator of all small mammals, cats included. Prey drive is a big reason that extreme caution is advised when introducing an adopted dog to a cat with an unknown history.

I don't know if it saved my life, but my life certainly has improved after a sleep study about a year ago where I discovered that I have a moderate case of sleep apnea.

Mine is mild enough to where I'm able to get away with just the oral appliance and a nasal strip at night (and avoiding alcohol and losing a bit of weight), but these alone have made me sleep considerably better, and I feel a lot more rested throughout the day. I'm generally nicer to people, I don't yell nearly as much, my thinking is a bit clearer, and of course there are other medical benefits to not drinking and not being overweight).

PSA, if anyone here snores, or feels like they're not getting good rest at night, I very very very strongly recommend getting a sleep study.
It's interesting to see how certain crimes (e.g. Assault and Robbery) have hotspots that map perfectly onto BART stops (16th & Mission, 24th & Mission).
When my 6-month-old kitten was sick and in the hospital, his 3-month-old "sister" would walk around the apartment yowling constantly. This would be broken up only by periods of her clinging to/around me in a way she never has before or since (she was always much more independent than the other one), before going back on her search.
Do you mean that it works with ha-floorplan? If so, can you please explain to me how I'd proceed to make that work because it'd be awesome.
I always wanted to do something like this but the time it takes to get the proper render and plan is just too big of an investment for me.
there's such a thing as a "target rich environment" but I always look at these maps as "where people are", college campuses, tourist attractions, crime is high because the number of marks is high, its a coincidence if many people happen to live there too
Because the assertion that good musicians are rewarded is unfalsifiable in that formulation. Your definition guarantees that you will always find it true. It proves nothing.
I don’t agree with your take here.

DataDog are being intentionally deceptive with their email subject lines. There is malice there, since the evidence is there.

Apple has no obligation at all to support Linux. There may be malice there but there is no proof. My point was that people apply malice to Apple with no proof.
Ah yes. If you are accessing the SQLite files directly I cannot be sure what you will see during the snapshotting. I haven't tested that, since accessing the SQLite files underneath rqlite is not officially supported.
Show HN: 30-day product against 100 existing competitors
Hi friends,

I'm Dmitry, co-founder of Ordemio. I'd like to share with you what we have accomplished in 30 days of non-stop, 10-hour workdays. It was launched on August 1st, 2024.

Is it good enough to attract our first customers?

We have launched a new product in the highly competitive niche of "ChatGPT AI chatbot for a website," facing over 100 existing competitors on purpose. It's a gamble, and I'm unsure if it was the right decision.

Feel free to ask any questions.

Cheers.
It's the opposite - right? There are more gross crimes in the high-density area, but your chance of suffering one is much lower (all else being equal). Trying to apply statistics directly like this is generally inaccurate, but to the degree the numbers say anything it's the opposite of what you say.
This is the 10,000th time someone has posted TE products to HN and said they're overpriced. They make high-end luxury products for rich people, if you think it's too expensive then you're not the target audience. This is like saying a Lamborghini is too expensive because you can by a Toyota that does 90% of the same stuff for a fifth of the cost. Every one knows, that's the point.

I mean I get it, I would never buy anything from TE either, just like I can't afford a Lamborghini. But I can still look at it and go "Wow, that's really pretty."
I agree with you that BMW and TE aren’t the gear that hardcore professionals would reach for, but enthusiasts who enjoy those respective activities can get a lot of enjoyment out of.

Both make stuff for people who enjoy nice things, no pretention required.

I think “not viable for research” is not a thing, haha. At least, if the ratio of compute to communication is right, we can test our algorithms on old hardware using smaller problems.

Edit:

The SuiteSparse collection (formerly UF matrix collection) is really great for this. You can download matrices with their year and some context about their application. The ones smart people were trying to figure out how to solve 20 years ago on clusters. And then you can marvel at how your laptop smashes them using PARDISO or some other direct sparse solver. Or you can try to figure out a clever way to solve them with 10 year old hardware.
