Also would be great if a Linux-focused outlet would mention whether the power saving features of the platform work at all. The difference between the idle power of a platform that reaches deep package sleep states and one that doesn't is very large.
Oh no, I just consider how many resources we need to keep a certain standard of living, how many we are on Earth and how many start to be resourceful enough to look for a westerners standard of living while old infra start to fall apart, climate change and wars push people to migrate etc.

To allow any human living like we do in the west we need around 7 Earth, with only one inhabited, to have enough resources. Many live in big cities, with aging infra, we can't re-build in place, exposed more and more to various weather issues, to migrate they'll need new infra and an industrial system to build them and so on.

Most people do not realize but in the world we witness two evolutionary path: some (mostly from middle/middle-high classes) try/have left the city to being able to build new homes in places where today it's good to be for climate, hydro-geological stability, accessibility etc (just as a stupid example in the past we have chose many valley bottoms because even if sometimes there were floods there is also water, nowadays with pumped aqueduct we have no reasons to be there in less nice climate and under flood risks), actually implementing the green new deal. Others, essentially the world ruling classes in their respective countries are experimenting new smart cities, from Indonesia, try and failing to rebuild a sinking and unlivable Jakarta deep in the country, in altitude, to various IMF-founded states with Arkadag, Innopolis, Neom, Prospera, India with the government 100-smart cities projects and so on. Evidently ignoring the old Fordlandia lessons and the present Chinese ghost cities one.

The others sleep in the old settlements witnessing their slow degradation, thinking the first cohort as strange rich nerds who want to be kids for life, and ignoring the ruling class projects classify as sci-fi not so real narrative. Ruling class know that and decide to tell anyone how nice is not owning anything, so they could a day force people without anything in their dream prisons named smart cities, while some understand the move and also understand that there are not enough resources to build smart cities anyway so... Anyone who think expect the next world war for resources advancing with their own agenda.

For what it's worth, there are two other chapters up. One is about round the world sailing. It is also worth a read.

I've not been able to get into the third chapter, but it looks equally interesting.

Wanted to drop a note that I have been using Sankey for the exact same use case for a couple years now. I use Google Charts and about 40 lines of JS code, then I export the SVG (or paste a screenshot) into my presentation slides. It is a bit tedious and error prone process but works great. There are a few bugs on Google Charts Sankey implementation as well that makes so that the order you enter items impact the visualization layout.

In my case, we do project level budget and it has to flow upstream so I need to ensure that the numbers add up. From my preliminary test, it does not look like I can do that with this tool (yet?). I want to enter the leaf / most granular level numbers and then do the group hierarchy and not have to enter every number from top to bottom.
A new npm-esque?

Show HN: Multi Layer Perceptron by Hand
Hi all! I am a 18 year old student, currently learning ML and I implemented a very basic Fully connected network from scratch (using numpy). This is my first time posting on HN (and english is like my 3rd or 4th language) so please forgive me for any mistakes.

Also, if anyone could review my code and give any feedback, it would be appreciated!
If the US government wants your data badly enough they can compel apple to push and update to work around all of these measures. As long as you don't own your device no amount of encryption matters.

> It's hard to understand why anyone would choose anything other than Apple these days tbh.

You could just not put your data into the hands of one of these companies.
Have fun yelling at that cloud for the rest of time.

Because the first rule of data communications is that it goes down at the worst possible moment. No matter what, you can't win.

Scenario 1:

You're driving remotely and the connection goes down. The car then crashes into something.

Scenario 2:

You get clever: Whenever the connection goes down, the car automatically stops. The connection goes down, and the car now stops in the middle of an intersection, or the onramp to a ferry, or blocking emergency vehicles.

Scenario 3:

You get even more clever: Whenever the connection goes down, the car seeks a safe place to stop. The connection goes down, and the car runs over a collapsed pedestrian while looking for a safe place to stop.

You can't win.
This did to me what literal music videos did to me years ago
Nice use of that diagram type I love it
So we're specifically talking about the tea.yaml spam. More than any other topic that seems like one that is worth digging into details on rather than just shrugging and saying isolating causality is hard.

If we look at the chart in the original article [0] that this one is a follow up to, the NPM spam suddenly picked up around the end of February, with new packages per day first doubling and then tripling. So this 70% figure is specific to the last 6 months, not something that has been the case with the ecosystem for a long time.

That makes tracing causality much simpler: the Tea protocol seems to be pretty clearly the source of the problem. The big open question is why NPM, but the way that people jump to the conclusion that NPM being the target of this attack must have something to do with the flaws in the ecosystem smacks of victim blaming. Isn't it just as possible that NPM was targeted because it's huge? If you're going to run a massive spam campaign you do it where the people are.

Could NPM learn from this and start controlling spam better? Yes! But That's not the same thing as attributing this tea.yaml nonsense to systemic flaws in the ecosystem—spam prevention has to be balanced with usability, and the balance was pretty decent until 6 months ago.

AMD being good was really jarring when I got back into building PCs a few years ago. I was so used to the Phenom and Bulldozer era, when the consensus was AMD was pretty much a joke. How times have changed..
If you're willing to put a bit of time in phonology, English initial c/k is always aspirated (i.e. pronounced with a significant and sudden exhalation) and French initial hard c/k is always unaspirated. The one thing that can have you emulate the French pronunciation
the most is by learning to pronounce initial k/t/p in an unaspirated way.

I am disappointed by the results here as I do feel fever helps me a lot.
I need fever when I’m sick. I can feel my body as in a faulty state. It makes me rest, no matter what my brain says. It makes me think twice what I eat. I hold it for few days without any problem - yet i take these drugs if fever is too high o lasting too long (in this case the cause of the illness must be addressed urgently).
And you are building a false dichotomy.
Usually businesses become an ESOP because the founder sells it to the employees. To even qualify to become an ESOP, the company has to be successful, so by default most ESOPS are. I advocate for incentivizing the model, not requiring it. But I have a follow up piece coming out soon with more detail.
My last company, Rainforest QA, developed issuing virtual credit-card numbers for just this purpose - kinda like the ones used for privacy.com. Customers use them for testing in prod. Simple, effective - and testing the exact same flow as customers.

Before this, we found a lot of teams using either their own corp cards, or pre-paid visa type things. All, a pain to manage balance wise.

Seemingly, the biggest problem left with doing this is production metrics; these transactions in prod tend to affect the main metrics - either your own, or payment related things.

I can't find anything current, but - https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180417005414/en/Rai... covers it.
Yeah, for a while I used to get around by bicycle a lot (faster and way cheaper than paying for parking on campus), lots of people thought it was very weird to do so. I'd show up at the usual bar scenes with my bicycle after taking the light rail down and most of my friends wouldn't begin to understand how I got there.

I take the local transit when I need to get deeper into the city and take the bus to the city parks around me with my kids. People think I'm a bit of a nut for doing so, seriously wondering why I wouldn't just drive.

I've met people that grew up in Dallas and didn't even know there was light rail. Most people don't have a clue how it works and don't care to spend a minute figuring it out. They don't even bat an eye at the thought of moving further and further out into the burbs, into developments that take ten minutes of driving just to leave one neighborhood.
Around the time of WWII there was a lot of talk in the UK about how aviation competes with the navy when it came to defending the homeland. The UK needed a navy to protect force globally but against the threat in WWII it may have been able to "rule the waves" locally without a navy.

(Of course the aircraft carrier made the battleship obsolete for "grand power" competition although battleships were useful later in the Vietnam war and in the middle east because they were not at threat.)

Today in the Black sea and the middle east though we are seeing forces very much able to strike at sea with missiles from land with dominating results in the first case and seriously annoying results in the second.

Show HN: TheReadTime – Speed read the web with RSVP, up to 3x faster
I built a Chrome extension that transforms any web content into a speed reading experience using Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP). Key features:

Read up to 3x faster with minimal comprehension loss
Clutter-free reading environment (no ads, popups, or distractions)
Dual modes: Speed reading and leisurely perusal
Customizable fonts, themes, and reading speeds
Dyslexic-friendly font option
Built-in reading speed test

It works on articles, blogs, news, emails – basically any web-based text. You can open entire webpages or just selected text. There's also a web interface at https://thereadtime.com/speed-reader/
I'd love to get your feedback and hear about your experience with the extension!
In the year 2100, will the version be 3.100? :-)
I think boilerplates are a great way to get projects started. The issue for me was that a lot of them don't always have my preferred tech stack. ShipKit is designed to give you more options. It lets you mix and match the technologies to create right boilerplate for your project.

That's still the case in pure Java code. The "Class.newInstance()" method is a public method on the core Java API, calling "MyClass.class.newInstance()" is mostly equivalent to "new MyClass()". And the generics trick in the "sneaky throws" article I linked is also pure Java code, without any calls to "sun.misc.Unsafe".
Good point, thanks! Do you think over time LLMs will improve? As a POC (which Magnify currently is kinda in), there are a lot of false positives, and while it won't replace professionals, I think LLMs currently can provide a sufficient baseline of security which should get better over time.
It was kind of disappointing to see the transition from fancy, glamorous shots of it standing still and looking around/at its hands to plodding slowly and cautiously (I was kind of reminded of walking in ski boots?) across a flat, open floor.

I understand that bipedal walking is hard, but I don't really understand why. Is it a materials thing? Do you need the right kind of stretchy tendons and ligaments to produce more fluid motion? Is it a sensor thing, about having the right kind of signal to inform control for dynamic balancing? Is it about having a lot of different degrees of freedom in your toes/feet/ankles to achieve balance, which aren't yet feasible in robots?

> If I can be healthy just by taking a pill a day as opposed to dying, what's the harm? Lives are saved and that's... bad... somehow?

No, that's great! Despite what some of the comments claim, I'm not saying "suffering FTW!". I'm saying that working towards goals is literally in our DNA, and getting everything you want won't make you happy.

Your letter example is a good one. On the one hand, it's incredible that I can communicate with many people at once across the world from my desk. The benefits are obvious. What's not so obvious are the benefits of having to write letters in the old days:

When you have to spend so much effort in communication, it's worth much more to you. You take more time, think about what you're saying more, and most importantly; feel much higher rewards. Low effort, low returns.
Does not render at all (blank screen) with javascript turned off by uBlockOrigin.
I can't speak much on graphics but for video I have very happily used DaVinci Resolve (Studio but free is good too) and have no issues with it on linux. It can be a little bit of a pain to get running but so is almost anything on linux but ymmv.

Our team of video editors have almost universally switched to Resolve from Premier ( FCP just doesn't work for us so I have no comparison there )
They identify 6 bugs/mistakes, of which, not doing staged releases, was the final mistake.

They stop short of identifying the real root issues of running at kernel level, and of not auto-backing-out updates that cause crashes, perhaps because those causes are harder to fix.
East Germany ceased to exist in 1990. One of the glasses also shows the Mitropa label: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitropa but it was used on a broader scale.

I wouldn't assume that all these "assets" of bars, pubs, Mitropa etc. were for example sold off, i.e. you can expect quite a big number being dumped/destroyed, aside of the numbers that went into wear and tear until 1990 in the first place.

There is a lot of stuff that was ubiquitous during the time of East Germany and went poof pretty fast after the wall came down, usually into the dumpster in one way or another.

As a renter, I would love to be able to measure distances in the 3d render. 'Will my couch fit here?'; 'How High are the ceilings?'; 'can I fit my bike above the tv?'; 'how far down the hall is my roommate?'; 'can I fit my desk and dresser next to each other?'

Every apartment I've rented started with me taking a Laser Distance Measure with me and making my own floor plan with height measurement as well.

I see the room square footage, but that's honestly less useful to me than the dimensions (again from a renter's perspective)
90% of employee owners also have a 401k or retirement account. An ESOP account is in addition to their retirement account, not instead of it. So it's actually more of an upside without any downside.
> I took the bus 1.5 hours 1 direction every day

And you'd take that 1.5hr each way (three hours of commute to go to swim practice, every day??) over having a parent (or a family friend carpooling) spend maybe 10-15 minutes driving you each way?
Its common everywhere in germany and also other countries, and why is it obscene and ludicrous?
agreed. i think they were doing the math equivalent of code-golf to cram this proof onto a single page.

Hey there! Thanks a lot! Of course, it would work also on mobile apps. As long as you can make an http request to api.creduse.com/endpoint, you can run it wherever you want :)
In your case if the user's payment is completed you can send a POST request to /add with the amount of credits you want to add. The user then, will receive his credits. That's it.

Not OP but the last time I tried Wayland was about a year ago (also on Fedora) and I had similar issues using multiple monitors with different refresh rates, ended up switching to x11 which resolved it (using an nvidia card with nonfree drivers if that matters). But it seems I'll have to give Wayland another try if they've addressed it since then, I hadn't been keeping up with it.
