I am looking at you like that, because you're speaking without first having thought at all.

Imagine the thing you love most in all the world to do. Imagine losing that - as, some day, you certainly will. Then, if you still feel like it, try again.
If you're posting on hacker news surely you would be able to install raspotify on a debian raspberry pi or just load the moode audio image.
In general I think you're right. With the correct encoding, it's just a mechanical limit.

It just depends on the specific encoding you use. GMP, I believe, is only limited by the physical memory size. Python's implementation is also limited by the encoding (not sure how it works concretely, but it doesn't seem to be a memory overflow):

x = 1
while True:
x <<= x

>> those are the people the average person knows about, and spends money on—and most other musicians would be broke.

My son is a drummer. Has been doing studio work and other stuff but steadfastly has refused to be in a band. On multiple occasions he's said the same thing. Not enough exposure and the insane amount of work you have to do to make even a little bit of money isn't worth it.

He says he would prefer to be a studio musician and do production work since its more stable, reliable and actually pays his bills.
The start of America's automotive golden age was ripe with innovation. You could buy a car in 1964 with methanol injection! They had turbos 20 years before Saab!

Unfortunately for America, Europe's scarcity cars were not fit for her market, so Detroit had very little competition. They also had no resource constraints. Once certain dimensions of consumer preference settled, Detroit coasted.

Europe and Japan were poor, so they had to work to make good cars. They were also culturally open to each other.

Then, one day in the 90s, Detroit woke up dead.
Yeah, this is the frustrating part. I've worked with retailers on in-store displays, so I know that you can get high-quality, cheap panels that are "dumb" in that they don't have apps, but they do have full local-only operating systems that can access wifi networks and list files. Some of them can even boot into a chrome-based kiosk mode, indicating a full html rendering stack.

But if you check for anything DIY, they're either sourcing panels directly from manufacturers in China, or ripping apart smart TVs (or just "not using" parts of them). There's a happy middle ground and I know, from experience, that's it's not an expensive one, even though I also know from experience that it's often times an extremely pricey one. By which I mean, the panels themselves are cheap for an outlet to get and use, while actually trying to buy a panel from those outlets is reserved for B2B applications and is priced for enterprise work.

What I was hoping for is that someone who knows about those kinds of panels and that kind of work would be able to say "Ah, yeah, here's a great panel that we use for our displays which is a good deal".
But, so far, I've never had any takers on that. It's a small industry (or, at least it was when I was involved), so that's not unexpected. But I keep hoping that some dogged youtuber or some experimental blogger will figure out how to source all the bits for the TV that so many of us want, but that there's is strong business disincentives to create.

That's what's most galling, I think. Samsung/LG/Sony could make this and sell it, but they refuse to because it would provide an alternative to the market they really want which is ad capture/data harvesting. And I'm just so tired of that being the only option for that specific reason. Because now I'm stuck here hoping that someone out there makes the least-complex, cheapest, and fastest thing for a TV manufacturer to make, which seems like the dumbest thing to have to hope for.
What's the concern here? The pricing is transparent, and yes we've adjusted it over the years to be more in line with our costs. We still charge you per error just like we have since I started the business, and we're very honest about that. If you scrolled down you would see a full transparent pricing calculator for all of our product offerings.

wrt Enterprise, you seem to not be the target person. Its primarily about access to humans. Terms, liabilities, SLAs, services, etc. If you are FAANG scale, yes it is about price negotiation as well. When you are in the buying cycle at a company that needs these kinds of things you are well accustomed to this kind of thing.
>- they keep sessions (a)live (audio/video, chat, where you stop reading)

in a way, yes. I'm one of these users. My 6000+ tabs with ~10 windows load in an unloaded state. I have addons that unload already-clicked-by-me tabs if I need the RAM or if some JS script is running wild on FF but I still might need that tab.
I simply treat it as: I might come back to that topic later. 70-80% of the time I rarely do lol. or it takes me 2 years.

>they (at least on desktop) have better ux than bookmarks and history

it simply is easier to click on the list in the sidebar than having to go through a bookmark window and wait for the UI to load the tabs itself.

what's funny is, with Firefox, when I close a window with 1000 tabs and were to restore it, it takes Firefox way longer to restore that window than if I were to load my session from zero/Windows.
Why Heroism Is Bad and What We Can Do to Stop It
Same. I was so sad when my old chromecast broke. And casting was basically the only thing that kept me on the chrome browser all these years. So perhaps its a good thing and this change will finally allow me to move to a more private browser.
we should talk!

We are exploring how to make a subscription model work. It's not possible in an experimental category airplane, but our future models where they can be rented (legally due to FAA requirements) will make that possible.
“Claude’s Artifacts and ChatGPT’s Data Analyst have become my go-to solution for quick prototypes and single-use code, instead of Jupyter notebooks.”

This is so true! I was debugging a timing issue and printed a bunch of raw data in the terminal. It was super helpful to have Claude generate throwaway code to plot the data with python. Zero data cleanup and formatting needed from my end for the prompt to be successful.

I also find myself less attached to code AI writes for these mini “apps” or “utils” because I’ll never check them into the codebase. If I wrote it myself, I’d probably spend time cleaning it up and write some comments hoping I’d use it again in the future.
I think the reason that signed integer overflow is undefined is that it wasn't uncommon at the time to have architectures that didn't represent signed integers with 2's complement.

Even today you may find issues with signed integers. The ESP32 vector extensions seem to saturate signed integer overflow [1].

Chromecast also allowed you to stream Netflix... I'm not sure DLNA ever got to that point.
How many of those people worked in India? For the part of the workforce that was actually based in India, the labor costs would be dramatically lower. If these were all Indian employees working in the U.S. then yes, you're likely right.
This sentiment is so far from the truth that I find it hilarious. How can a technically adept person be so out of touch with what these systems are already capable of?
You're right that we only have a handful of countries operating at this scale (~150M+ populations) so it's not exactly "data" in the common tech-sense of that word.

I want to get back to my original point: it's not "astoundingly clear" that the US should have a single-payer system (not your words, I know). My own thoughts are that this is mostly a scale problem as well as an inability to properly assess the performance of other systems (e.g. I would call both Canada and UK healthcare broken, but others see those as successful).

I agree that the US system seems broken from both an "Outcomes vs Cost" and a "Cost over Time" perspective. I just disagree that nationalizing healthcare, either through a single-payer system or the current Obamacare system is the answer.
> The most common reason is a concept called “dark rent.”
Pharmacy companies are seeking to cut their losses by shuttering unprofitable stores that have high labor costs, ... but in most cases they are obligated to continue paying the rent long after the store closes, or goes dark.
Most of the pharmacies that have closed in recent years were signed to 10-, 15- or even 20-year leases, at rents that often exceed today’s rates, brokers said.
In these cases, a landlord has almost no incentive to seek a new tenant, allowing the store to sit empty for months or years,

Surprised that the leases weren't tied to some shell company that could go bankrupt and release that liability.
Only Firestick has crap software and slow as hell.
It would be interesting to know, actually. Prior to 1989 copyright notices were required on works in the US, but historically no fine art that I'm aware of has had copyright notices. (I'm on my phone and have limited enthusiasm for searching in this UI...)

My aspirations to become a rock musician peaked right after I graduated high school in the US (2006). It was sort of the beginning of music-streaming being cheap and possible for small artists. I decided to join a local singer-songwriter's band (self-titled) as a lead guitarist and backup singer. It was a huge wake-up call for me who had spent my youth idolizing musicians as to just how much work and hustle everything was. The music was just barely passable as mid-tier singer-songwriter John Mayer wannabe rock, but the hustle the leader had was insane.

With all of that work we managed to have 40k MySpace followers (some had to be bots), 100k streams on PureVolume, and a decent number of CD sales, at least to my mind (in the several hundreds). But the barrier was no longer whether or not an artist could get to a studio or a record deal, the barrier now is the noise of the internet.
> NAT GW is $0.045/h even if doing nothing, plus $0.045/GB, plus egress. IP is $0.005 without any extra costs other than the standard

That's only 10 servers. I sometimes forget they charge per GB too. That particular charge rarely affects me but if your private services need a lot of data that can certainly add up.

To expand on that, additionally, if you are running your own NAT you need to have one instance per AZ or you end up with cross-subnet transfer costs. So that's at least one cost that you save with NAT gateway (though moot if you run all your services in the public subnets)
CA's have a lot of management and logistical issues and potential for misuse. The simplicity and TOFU design of the SSH key system (which obv can bring along some issues of its own) can bring a lot of benefits, especially for people who don't want to introduce a CA or PKI.

(obligatory disclaimer, I work at Userify and we have a server-side product that automates SSH key management and distribution. For example, the CA design doesn't kick someone out once their access is removed, but Userify's shim actually terminates all of sessions instantly, like screen or tmux, across all of the servers they're logged into and removes (but retains for historical record) their home directory.)
Another one in the long line of victims of the "popular open source product -> VC funding -> demand for profits -> closed source -> enshittification" pipeline.
RTO initiative seemed more like an attempt at value extraction more than anything else.

Buildings have mortgages, surrounding businesses need to be supported, etc... Local economies dipped and some hedge fund portfolios suffered, and RTO was the only way to pump their bags.

This is all conjecture
Unfortunately, ArchLinux is not doing so. It is hard to define common though. I guess that's one of the reasons such package does not exist.

Show HN: Build Custom Dashboards Using Live Snapshots – Without Integrations
Hey there, I'm Nathan, co-founder of SnipOwl.

If streamlining your workflow sounds appealing, you’re going to love what we’ve built.

After 10+ years of digital marketing, I was annoyed with how many tools I was using, along with juggling all the integrations that only provided limited data.

Scratching my own itch, Snipowl was born!

SnipOwl gives you the power to seamlessly combine all your favorite websites or apps without tradtional integrations and build live dashboards in seconds.

Imagine centralizing all your important data with live snapshots that update and having it in one sleek, intuitive dashboard.

Simply snip and build! Snips are not just screenshots, they refresh/update and it even works with sites that require logins.

Our early users have already:

- Saved up to 50% on API costs
- Reduced the number of tabs they need open
- Ditched over complicated tools for tracking
- Embedded live snapshots on Notion/custom websites
- Consolidated all their marketing tools

If you're ready to streamline your workflow and track everything you need in one spot, I would love for you to give SnipOwl a try today for free and let me know your thoughts! I would love to hear any feedback.

Thanks in advance, its truly appreciated
This is the kind of thing the internet should be used for. Excellent article and dive.

The ending allows them end support which is September 2027.
Yes, true, thanks. I confused "will it throw given inputs&state?" with "can it potentially throw?".

I wonder, why compilers don't expose that information? Some operator returning tri-state "this code provably doesn't throw | could throw | can't see, break the compilation" could help writing generic code immensely. Instead we have to resolve to multi-storey noexcept() operator inside a noexcept qualifier which is very detrimental for the code readability...
Lawyers or real engineers can only push a button and still have secure jobs because they have licenses/certifications/boards and liabilities with consequences. There is no such thing in programming. (Even though our mistakes can and do also lead to real people dying)

> it feels like a long time since I did more than convert someone else's Figma (or Adobe XD, or Photoshop document) into code, and glue it to a pre-existing API

That looks like webdev, that's like a minuscule part of all programming in question.

> automated away a decade ago, without LLMs.

I think LLMs is the worst part of it because literally what programmers do is used against them. It's like taxi drivers used to train self driving cabs to automate themselves out of jobs, except imagine self driving cars actually worked and there are no unions or protective gov regulation and taxi drivers all cheer for this because each thinks the whole firing and pay reduction is only for someone else not themselves:)
Usually these market inefficiencies have some market-based solution to mitigate the problem. I wonder why the pharmacies don't sublease, or buy themselves out of the remaining lease at a discount. IOW - I feel like there's a way for SOMEONE to make a bit more money by putting the space to use.

It could be that the original lease doesn't allow subleasing. And maybe there is also a mortgage that would get called if the rents fall (by subleasing or buying out the existing lease). I don't know - just seems like there must be some kind of reason.
It appeared Russia cannot sustain the losses long term. The sign-up bonus for volunteers during the last year increased by factor of 10 from 2k USD to over 20K. Plus Russia has severe deficit of working force for anything that required non-trivial amount of training. They cannot afford a new mobilization wave for this reason.
it's more complicated than that. if MS paid Apple to be the default that would probably be anti-competitive against even smaller search engines. (but paying for search traffic is likely not in itself anti-competitive. doing it to keep others out of the market is when you are Google. where's the boundary? well, yes, it's complicated, depends on which market, what audience, how easy it is to switch providers, etc.)

I don't even know what to call it - kinda experimental music/noise

Early Findings from the NHS Type 2 Diabetes Path to Remission Programme
Cray-1 wasn't a mainframe, it was a supercomputer. As such it was designed to push the performance envelope in a way mainframes (of the time, but even today) weren't even trying for. Mainframes were designed for transaction processing and reliability. They were substantially slower than contemporary supercomputers.
For the future..

I spent nearly 20 years fixing computers and other electronics. Repair techs are my original work tribe and it was a fun if sometimes stressful way to make a living. I got away from it because the money went away. That said, I never wanted to fix copiers. They were always finicky, messy and dirty, but this is a really great piece and three things stand out for me.

The article claims that PARC paid for itself (1) through the anthropological sociological studies of copier repair technicians which revealed shortcomings in the engineering of the copiers and resulted in changes to the paper path and handling in newer designs and significantly reduced maintenance cost and difficulty. Two, enabling information sharing between repair technicians over radios and technician created and maintained documentation, saved the company 5-8% of service cost and these innovations were resisted by services management which was invested in the idea that copier repair technicians should be cheap, interchangable monkeys. Three, Xerox management likely left significant money on the table because they fundamentally and willfully misunderstood copier repair and copier repair technicians and the value they were creating for the company. Likely, mostly because repair was seen as a cost center which in an ideal world would be eliminated entirely.

1. It's really astonishing how much and in how many ways PARC paid for itself and yet business literature and likely Xeroxes management often focuses on the money left on the table for others to grab and asserts there was a failure.
>When we launched Chromecast (...) connecting your TV to your phone, tablet or laptop was clunky and hard

I would argue that this still holds true today. Is there any reliable way to do the screen mirroring/photo sharing from an Android phone to a Samsung smart TV without additional devices? My Pixel works great with Chromecast or a similar dongle(e.g. Xiaomi Box) but I really couldn't make it work without them. I tried a couple of options from plain Android sharing, through Samsung's SmartThings, to some sketchy apps that ask for your CC for trial but none of them worked before I gave up and asked my host for a HDMI cable.
It's not just about the nutjobs in the past. There are plenty of modern nutjobs, and one of the shit-on-shit sandwiches that is fuck cancer is getting (at best) the clueless to (at worst) psychopathic opportunists peddling quack cures, all this at a time when the patient and/or caregivers may be willing to grasp at any straw, no matter how slender, offering hope of a cure, or even a few more good days.

I'd run interference on this some years ago, before the emergence of the public Internet / WWW, and ... it was already bad enough. Whilst online fora are often praised as being of tremendous benefit to patients and caregivers of chronic or terminal conditions, increasingly they're overrun by that same set of dramatis personae, and it absolutely, absolutely boils my blood.

There are criticisms to be made of the FDA and Pharma, but for the most part those engaged are largely subject to poor incentives rather than outright fraud and opportunism.

One of the tremendous values of jseliger's account is his exploration of alternatives, and candid commentary (especially recently) of how even what does work for a while can stop working.

Cancer is a complex set of phenomena which share a common symptom: unconstrained "crab" growth (the tendrils which spread outward from tumors). In German, "cancer" is literally "krebs", that is "crabs" (which of course has its own confusing connotations in direct translation to English). What's coming to be appreciated is that each individual cancer case is ultimately its own evolving community which adapts to, and often overwhelms, the treatments and countermeasures deployed against it. That said, there are cancers which are remarkably amenable to treatment, and are wholly curable. Others not so much. Details in this case matter immensely.
Could you elaborate? I'd be happy to be proven wrong. I do need a source of income to pay my monthly costs, and I don't know how I can have one besides having a job or owning part of a business.

My grandma used to say "doing and undoing is still working". High end Law firms won't disagree.
The building owner wouldn't have allowed that. The whole point of making these long-term NNN leases is that you're getting a very stable anchor tenant that will not default.
> I dont think anyone would be harmed if they refused to serve anyone and every employee was idle.

The owner might have a different opinion.

> Your concept of harm reminds me of how some people think they are "harmed" if someone doesn't want to date them

...and? That's a pretty commonly recognized harm. For example, it's the basis of the tort "alienation of affections".
kudos for giving out an actual number of humans fired.

Big box drug stores are dinosaurs, and eventually their leases will expire or they'll exit bankruptcy. How is this different from any other category of real estate that's gone out of favor?

You can get practically everything by mail now. On Amazon you can "subscribe" to your regular consumables, so they send you some regularly and you don't have to go to Rite-Aid for it.
How will these third party “LLM Optimization” (LLMO) services prove to their clients that their work has a meaningful impact on the results returned by things like ChatGPT?

With SEO, it’s pretty easy to see the results of your effort. You either show up on top for the right keywords or you don’t. With LLM’s there is no way to easily demonstrate impact, at least I’d think.
and if you're independent, you're screwed yet again.
