skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
The document doesn't say which routing engine is used.

I'm currently integrating Motis on a similar initiative (a french open source Web map, https://cartes.app). More is needed to provide a full transit map experience, but Motis does the essential part.

We're not far from transit calculation as an open source commodity in countries that publish their transit data as GTFS. E.g. in France there is a whole team called transport.data.gouv.fr that deploys a website + API and do the necessary to convince and help local transport agencies to respect the law.

Ingesting this whole dataset is not trivial, lots of bugs arise (e.g. Flixbus's agency id : 0 or conflicting calendar_dates.txt ids between different datasets) but a barebone version goes live in 4 seconds (per big agency) of parsing by Motis's Nigiri module.

The developer of Motis is quite involved, and came to Organic Maps's discussion here https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/issues/5331#issue...

Then comes the hardest part IMHO : the UI. Motis provides intermodal routing with the choice of walk / reduced mobility / bicycle / car / car + parking before and after the bus, and all this needs to be integrated in a UI that can rival Google / Apple Maps / Transitapp.com / etc

Organic Maps have very beautiful transit lines representation in the style of Transit app's great work. https://blog.transitapp.com/how-we-built-the-worlds-pretties...

Would be cool if some demo of the extended transit lines could be provided by Organic Maps following this readme file.
I think all these "we regret to inform you" could be avoided. It has always felt weird to me that the burden of the search is on the candidates, although recruiters are doing the picking. It’s more efficient and less painful to just let people express their preferences and be applied to.

Conductive inks can shield specific components, https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-report/conductive-ink-m...

Spray-on inks are targeting package-level EMI shielding.. Jetted inks are also being proposed for in-package EMI isolation between individual dies in a multi-die package especially for high-frequency devices. Some suppliers propose micron-sized, prioritising cost and maturity. Flat flakes offer higher conductivity if aligned well. Others develop nano or even particle-free inks, offering the thinnest solution.. Most offer a hybrid solution, siting somewhere between full nano to full micro and full spherical to full flake.. Some.. mechanisms to fine-tune layer thickness post-deposition to locally boost performance in EMI hotspots.
I assume Apple’s ‘Fusion’ drive tech is still active in their OS for backwards compatibility. It’d be interesting to try it on one of these drives.
You can set up SSH to use certs and then add the server cert to your known_hosts file instead of the individual host keys. Then when the host keys rotate, all is well as long as the new host keys are signed by the same cert.

A WA Tax Break for Data Centers Became One of Their Biggest Corporate Giveaways
This is one of the main points of MMT - with modern economies (and possibly ancient) there is no need to tax in order to spend. The US gov is the only one able to create more US dollars. And they can do so without taxing - they just press buttons on the Fed’s laptop and they have a billion to spend.

Of course that can easily get out of hand so, lots of controls, but those controls should, IMO, be based around how money is created and flows not around some medieval ideas about taxation.

Anyhow, the point is money should equal production capacity else it creates inflation (or stifles demand) - it eventually balances out but the pain in eventually is real.

And is governments with poor willpower a problem - yes of course. But that’s like the manager blaming their employees - they work for us you know.
Nothing says "your assumptions might be too simplistic" more than using espressions such as "[Country X] would do whatever it takes to prevent 2° of climate warming".

What is [Country X] currently doing about it, then? I'd assume Country X is currently banning/disincentivizing cars, cement, AI clusters, plane travel, and all kinds of much easier measures than literal nuclear attacks on other nuclear-equipped countries.

The world is complex. There are very few (maybe zero?) cases where any given nation state is willing to do "whatever it takes" to do anything.
For me, this approach works great with one enormous exception: I must already know exactly what I'm going to write about.

I have tried outlining my writing countless times. But inevitably, the real work of thinking meticulously comes with the writing itself. In composing prose at the finest level of detail, I discover the true shape of the topic through its nuance.

I always throw out my outlines, no matter how many times I have iterated on them. My high level thinking couldn't sufficiently understand the topic.

PG expressed this well: writing is thinking, at least for some of us.
Please forget about showing up physically, it's noble to think of "you really care" but in places with organized crime they have ways to count if those that depend on them come and vote for their "right" choice.

I believe the answer should be on this big issue https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/issues/5331
The reality of Soviet communism was well known in the aftermath of WW2. The USSR had not been an isolated state between the world wars, but there was widespread migration between it and the West. Despite that, many people still believed in communism and that it would lead to a better future. They didn't stop believing until decades later.

And you don't get to apply double standards to ideologies. The places doing nasty things were liberal exactly in the same way as the USSR was communist. It wasn't liberalism in the sense the ideologues said it would be, but it was what liberalism became in the real world. In particular, classical liberalism was the dominant ideology in the 19th century British Empire.
Same. Additionally, it would be far more lethal if an explosion where to happen at the security gates rather than on an actual plan. The bottle necks caused by these security checks means there are potentially 1000s of people penned into a tiny room. On paper the checks make sense, but in reality their implementation creates a much greater potentially danger zone for passengers.
I don't think long term economic pain was the goal. I think influencing the American people into opposing interference in the Middle East as "not worth it" was the goal. And that would be achieved by the visceral carnage and the implication of "we'll stop if you stop". Not through fuzzy and indirect economic effects.

I don't think they ever cared about damaging the US in general, they just want the US and the west in general out of their backyard.

> Each new key issued by the server could be signed by the previous (already trusted) key

That doesn't work if the host's private key is leaked, or may have been leaked, e.g. [0][1].

The current solution seems ok; we go through another channel to confirm the new key, likely either receiving an email about the key change, or using the web.

Is the tıtle purposely ambiguous for clicks? They obviously mean each liquid bottle has to be max 100 ml, not that the total amount of liquids allowed is 100 ml, right?
I don't believe people like the author of the OP are just over-generalizing for clicks. Based on the other responses on this thread, they're expressing something that many of us feel, and that they presumably feel themselves. I'm not sure what to do about that feeling, though. The tools coming out of the Handmade network, at least the ones I've seen, tend to go too far, throwing out necessary things like accessibility. Some of the complexity of modern software is truly necessary.

It's easy for those of us who have used computers for a while, or have read some computer history, to look back at earlier feats of software compactness and efficiency, such as an IDE starting and running fast on a processor with a tiny fraction of the power of current CPUs (90s Delphi as raised by a sibling comment), a MIDI sequencer with karaoke-style lyrics display in less than 48 KB of machine code (Diversi-Tune on the Apple IIGS in 1988), or a BASIC interpreter in less than 4 KB (the original Altair BASIC from Microsoft). It's easy to look at these things, compare them to the size of a hello-world program produced by a modern toolchain, and conclude that modern software is indeed terrible. But of course, we look back on those past artifacts with rose-colored glasses. I don't doubt that, for some subset of modern software, bloat is indeed out of control. I'm not sure what to do about it though, or if we can ever get back to those feats of efficiency that tend to impress us in retrospect.

Off-topic question: I’m using the iOS browser extension Noir, which adds dark-mode support to web sites that don’t support dark mode by themselves.

In the most extreme case, the evil maid replaces your laptop with an exact replica that does nothing more than somehow bridge USB devices via radio to the original to take care of keyboard input and the smart card. Sounds like paranoid scifi, sure, and you can debate how unlikely that is and then go ahead and accept that risk, but the random mosaic actually protects against that, while all other suggestions I have heard so far do not.

Edit: Also, even though we have been discussing only computers so far, the random mosaic method can protect anything. The top level comment shows how a similar approach can be used in pharmacology.
I don't think this is the case.

1. If you accidentally say There is and want to use a plural after, (for example, a lot), you can just say a number in between. The sentence stays correct, you just have to say 2 additional words. I personally never had this problem

The way it would likely work is that a cryptographically secure open source random algorithm is made known long in advance which takes, say, a full hour to run on top of the line computers. In the hour before it is run, anyone can send in a number of their choosing, which are all added up (or rather their concatenation is cryptographically hashed) to make the seed. Then anyone can check that their number was indeed included and run the algorithm themselves to verify. It really only takes a single honest person to send in a 20-digit number to make it basically impossible to manipulate. Maybe I'm missing something.

This project sucks ass - I know some research groups (non-engineering, they were more ag programs) who purchased it from them for a few thousand dollars and pretty much shelved it after a few months - unreliable hardware, buggy software, minimal support - all in all it would probably have been much more easier if we hired a bunch of engineering undergrads to build something like this from scratch.

An interesting thing is that many farm workers are migrants. They are needed for a period and then, largely, return to their country of origin.

As the US tightens down on abusive practices, there would be less migrants. Therefore we need tech like this since citizens won’t do the work and if they did they would make the product too expensive.
If it’s your home ISP doing this, you just need to call and ask for them to remove the restriction. Obviously not likely to work if this is a corporate network.

I think the gap here is hardware - specifically suited to work with various type of plants/crops, some of which are delicate (some use cases like this are hands-off but there are probably a lot more hands-on scenarios). I think the software can be developed relatively easily (ml/vision etc) but I'm not aware of any hardware that is as dexterous as our fingers and can be easily used in a farm setting.

Good old fashioned pen and paper has tons of problems, and doesn't meet most of the guarantees that these voting systems are going after. Also, good old-fashioned pen and paper, when used, is surrounded by various systems and various equipment in order to: keep it anonymous and to make sure that a voter can't prove their vote to others, prevent false votes from being added and real votes from being thrown away, etc.

Which is why you get things like voting booths, indelible ink marks on people's hands, elaborate secured containers for cast votes with elaborate seals, and extensive timed processes around how votes should be handled while being moved or counted, including complicated politically-aware algorithms about the selection of observers and counters, and counter-observers (and even foreign observers.) The rules about spoilage in most paper and pen voting systems are probably more complicated and involved than the core algorithms of any of these voting systems. There's was no golden age of voting when elections were trustworthy.

Anonymity is a hard problem.

But we don't vote on complex political decisions; we vote on our representatives, people whose interests allegedly align with ours, which is much simpler to understand, and delegate the complex decisions to them according to their qualifications.

Whether the candidates themselves, all of them, can be trusted is a much more serious problem with democracy, I think, than "dumb" people affecting the vote.
Most westerners don’t understand that the modern “phenomenon” of incels is mostly due to shitty 80s movies that connected cerebral people to nerdy stereotypes.

Rewatch wargames and note how insane the kids skills are, and how this acts as something which makes the MC more interesting to the fairer sex. Compare this to today, where busting a command line out in public is more likely to get you arrested by some idiot dogooder thinking you’re hacking the airplane instead of acting as some kind of evidence that you’re intelligent and thus possibly good partner.

Meanwhile go to the third world where life is hard and stereotypical “jocks” or “bullies” are the poor, downtrodden of society. Often these societies love nerds and cerebral people, and physical prowess isn’t valued as much here.

John Hughes is the father of the modern western incel and all related phenomenons.
It sounds like we are mostly in agreement, actually. Mathematicians don't start by creating an outline of a paper they have to write. They start by proving a theorem of some kind -- that's the part that involves thinking hard -- and only after they have something worth publishing does it make sense to think in terms of an outline. Proving the theorem take take a mathematician months (or a lifetime). Writing the paper takes an afternoon.

It's the same for software. By time time you understand the problem well enough that you can write down a list of things to be done you're already way past the "thinking hard" stage.

Sylvester Stallone wrote the script for rocky in 3 days. He could do this because he had already figured out the concepts, the theme, the characters and their personalities way ahead of time. He had worked on it in his head for years. By the time he started typing 90% of the work was already done. Nothing Stallone wrote later in his career was as good as his original rocky script.

The author is somewhat known for his over-the-top rants. When you read his writing in the context of a 90's flamewar, you'll find them to be quite moderate and reasonable. But it comes from a good place; he's a perfectionist, and he merely expects perfection from the rest of us as well.
