I don't really agree. I live in a big city in Spain but I know the local bakery girls where i get my morning bread (they always keep a loaf of my favourite apart), the 2 Indian guys in the mini mart next door often accept packages for me, the staff in all the clubs I visit know me really well and always give me a hug when I come, I always have a chat with the lady in the bigger supermarket I frequent, etc. In fact most of my interactions are not just transactional. Only those with taxi drivers etc. The restaurants I visit frequently all know my preferences. The old guy with his antique workshop down the road often offers me a can of beer while we sit and have a chat. I absolutely do feel part of the community. And I live in a big city center.

Maybe in India things are different but there it's not like that at all. Ps As you mentioned people asking about your son getting married, one thing I noticed is that the focus on marriage in India is very strong, some of my coworkers in Bangalore who are from smaller villages are pretty much disowned if they don't get married by the age of 23. I know when I was 23 I was just backpacking around the world and enjoying life, not thinking about babies or families. In fact I never did get married and I'm almost 50.

I think that pressure would take its toll too. Young people like to be free and don't want to be tied down. It certainly made some of my coworkers there very stressed with the pressure because they just wanted to go clubbing. One friend's parents didn't even know she had a boyfriend for years. There seems to be a huge disconnect there between generations.

Ask HN: Is anyone else having issues pushing to GitHub?
A few repositories are failing after the "remote: Resolving deltas" step, seemingly from a time out being closed from github's side. Its not an issue of size, the repo and the push are both less than 1Mb.

Other repositories seem to be working fine, but all attempts to fix the failing repos aren't working.
Abhorrent as those views are, in the context of his time they were more or less the accepted normal. Back then, women couldn't vote in France or most other countries he had visited/used for inspiration. On the contrary, feminists, rare as they were, were mocked.

Racism was prevalent, colonialism rampant. He was born 30 years before Hitler, and we all know his views and how popular they were among large parts of Europe and even elsewhere.

That doesn't excuse his views, but it contextualises them.
Ask HN: Trying to find an old HN post, failing at search
Hey all…been trying desperately on and off for weeks to find something I could've sworn was posted to HN. It was someone showing off their incredibly minimal bare git repo site, basically. Think cgit but even more basic.

Thanks in advance.
I agree. It was reported that they lost all user data a while back.

Do people in the US truly own their land? In China, you lease your land from the state for up to 70 years at a time, and the leases are based on the land value. It's functionally a land value tax by another name.

But that doesn't mean Chinese people have zero rights with regard to the land they lease.
I’ve been using Daylight Computer’s new Android tablet for a while now, which has a 60fps reflective grayscale LCD screen.

During the day it looks and behaves like E-paper, but with a much faster display rate. It’s also got a warm backlight for use at night.

When the backlight is off the contrast is lower than the E-ink Carta panel used in the Remarkable and Boox tablets, but the backlight and fast refresh really help make up for it.

Did anyone think of blockchain for a voting system ? I had a feeling it would be useful in this scenario as anyone could actually check it's own vote and the outcome. However reading comments here I may be delusionnal in regards to the requirements of such technology.
Or grow beyond both with optics.
I tried using `_Generic` inside C++ templates as a lighter alternative to `std::conditional_t`, but I was disappointed to find it didn't have short-circuiting semantics, which is my biggest pain point with `std::conditional_t`. If it wasn't necessary to type-check, that would make variadic programming much easier for me. The other problem is that only Clang accepts it in C++ mode.
You won't be thrown into prison for it, but it's a fireable offense. Isn't that worth noting?
How professional should the video be if I want to show something animated on my Etch a Sketch?
That's a good example, very close to what I was thinking
It's not that Japan and South Korea going nuclear erodes US control, it's just that all proliferation is inherently destabilizing. Believe it or not, the US is not "in it for the imperialism" like, say, Russia is in Africa.

Personally I think that it's pretty much unavoidable for both. The only tricky part is not tipping the North Koreans over the edge. It's not as destabilizing as proliferation in other regions would be just because there isn't a long list of other countries that might domino afterwards.

As for the Chinese trade-to-GDP ratio, it doesn't really capture how the economy is structured, particularly how far it leans into its comparative advantage. Many EU economies have higher ratios but are not imbalanced in this fashion. Italy buys French wine and France buys Italian wine. But if the world stops driving cars tomorrow, Germany (which is more like China in this respect) is going to hurt bad.

I would also caution you against thinking that there's such a thing as "spoils" anymore - certainly not post-WW2. Just look at how expensive the fields of Ukrainian rubble are turning out to be for Russia. Obviously Russia is looking at a bigger picture, or it would be regretting the war.

In today's world, denying GDP is easy, capturing it is very hard.
Both articles are about an obsession with peak human performance, 150 years later women do not excel in this regard and are not represented in the records, only in their own category, an adjective, nothing has fundamentally changed except categorization to accommodate.

People appreciate it and the discipline involved, the context of “Olympic hero” based on what it aimed to showcase is still relevant today by that standard. That observation in and of itself is not misogyny.
Olympic rivalries are often a mirror of real-life rivalries. See the Czechs or Americans beating the Russians in hockey. It's a peaceful venue, but one that often reflects the state of the world.

The more I learn about molecular biology/oncology, the more skeptical I am of longevity research. The pathways are usually broad hub genes that shouldn't be touched. E.g. Myc is an oncogene. As a rule of thumb, any time you see "reprogramming," be skeptical.

Gene therapy for neurodegenerative diseases should not be considered longevity.

Ooft! Honestly I’ve never seen an LLM be this creative. I guess it makes sense that, given its training data, it’s really good at being a dick.
Point 1 has always been absurd. You think there are some powerful cabal controlling Amazon and Google management, forcing them to put workers back in the office? All so they can try to pump real estate valuations?
Even worse: (Google) play integrity.
Holy fucking shit I put in my handle and some people that I follow, that thing is absolutely brutal LMAO. Absolutely no boundaries. I would legitimately not show that to someone having a bad day.
I believe that German education is more pragmatic than (for example) British. The Germans invented the polytechnic, designed to teach practical skills. The British converted most of their polytechnics to universities, to their detriment. They now have a bunch of low functioning universities and have lost all their trade schools.
So now that two swimming worlds records have fallen, we can't blame the pools anymore, can we?
The former is more expressive because it doesn't require a template to manually deduce the underlying type of an enum as `static_cast<std::underlying_type_t<Permissions>>(Permissions::Read)`
Personally I think you have a decent point since in practice employees of GOOG are shareholders too. Although I don’t know if their interests matter to the corporate entity because I don’t know what percentage is held by insiders.
I'm happy with Supermaven as a completion, but only for more popular languages.

Otherwise Claude 3.5 is really good and gpt-4o is ok with apps like Plandex and Aider. You need to get a feel for which one is better for what task though. Plain questions to Claude 3.5 API through the Chatbox app.

Research questions often go to perplexity.ai because it points to the source material.
I mostly agree.

However, (3) is a bug that's just commonly encountered (hopefully temporarily) in some countries that restrict construction way too much at the moment. One can hope.
I've tried throwing CAPTCHA challenges at gpt-4o, and it has so far solved all of them for me, except for OpenAI's challenge (the one where you align a hand with an object).

I'm assuming they fine-tuned the model to make it less capable of solving those.

An issue with the extension mentioned here is that it's not helping against the fingerprinting... it's actually leaving even more of a fingerprint.
I'm perfectly capable of learning obscure language _and_ thinking I'm a special snowflake. (In fact, I'm a special snowflake _because_ I am into weird languages.)
Hamas and Hezbollah exist in reaction to Israel politics, actions and crimes operated during the last decades. Context is key. Words like terrorists could change like we saw with PLO or the ANC in South Africa.
What doesn't change is the inalienable rights of a people to self determination.
Helpful thread, thanks: Google support team churn after the distribution transition to Asus IoT, Frigate devs were preparing to fork Google repos, then new Google devs appeared.

> Google is getting back on top of things aka coral support which is nice.. it seems that the original devs weren't on the project and new devs needed to be given notice. Hopefully this continues and things are kept up to date.. updated libcoral and pycoral libraries are coming as well.

It's good that Frigate brought attention to languishing Linux maintenance for Coral. Rockchip 3588 and other Arm SoCs have NPUs, which will likely be supported in time, but each SoC will require validation. Coral Edge TPUs were a convenient single target that worked with any x86 and Arm board, via USB or M.2 slot.
Not to disagree with the refinement of targeting and the key point of your message the political consequences of this hit will take far longer to come out and may well include a sum over bodycount which is far far higher on both sides.

An ability to conduct surgical strikes doesn't necessarily translate to killing fewer civilians overall: It just alters when, and why.

The key point of interest is the use of commodity D.C. based cloud services to manage the information. I think we've got well beyond the slowly boiled frog quality in what the cloud is being used for "for your convenience"

I wonder if there is a valid warrant which could be served by any economy on that data? I wonder what levels of encryption at rest they have over it, how much they can limit introspection of the running components.
I had a brain haemorrhage so I can not form sentences as well as I could. I nudge my AI to more accurately explain what I mean.

It is strange, I can read okay - by formations of words is challenging.
> Ask me about an apple while awake and I’ll close my eyes and it’s dark blackness of a void.Extreme aphantasia

Uhhhhhhhh.......I don't think that's extreme at all. Isn't that normal?? I just asked several people today to close their eyes and imagine an apple (or anything else) and everyone just sees black.

If you could see objects with your eyes closed, I think that's called having a photographic memory? (Which is...rare?)
Okay, but this is now a policy and procedure choice. The original claims were that these are undetectable.
It's true, they do tend to think that. Which is too bad, because The Cathedral and the Bazaar has very little to say about proprietary software. esr's type-case for Cathedral development is GNU software, and the Bazaar is Linux.

FOSS is 100% determined by the license under which software is released. Several notable open source projects, Lua and SQLite leap to mind, are entirely closed-development. Others are pure anarchy, most are somewhere in the middle. The polemic which coined these terms was mainly making a case that the bazaar model is surprisingly effective and worth considering, a controversial claim in its day, but no longer so.
The banned gas equipment is going to cause a lot of fun. PG&E cant maintain the tree canopy as it is.
The original concept looks good but it, seemingly, didn't last.

The business model of, "owned by somebody who can sell it", may be at the root.

The possibilities that existed then, exist now, if people want to make the effort to control their own lives.
Unsure if this is going to hit right spot, but if you can't be bothered with fermentation and prefer storing your chilli in freezer - try making Thai chilli dipping sauce - Nam Jim Jaew. Takes few minutes and stores for few weeks in fridge. Works well on avocado toast.
thanks for reading!

i could’ve covered the metabolic/immune stuff in deeper depth…might make a part two for this all, i was pretty opinionated on what to add in, there is a lot more to the field
I view the Olympics (and perhaps more so events like the Football World Cup) as a means of channeling the energies that also inspire war: national pride, international rivalries, etc etc. Hopefully that diversion of energy works as an outlet to diffuse real world tensions.

But at the same time the professionalisation of the whole thing detracts somewhat. The US and China win so many medals because they invest so much money in their athletic programs. Even in a theoretical meritocracy money still speaks. The few exceptions are sports like marathon running where smaller countries can remain competitive.
No, not really. It costs around $2-3k month to house them in jail, the cost starts at $10k/resident to house them in a tiny home or RV community without many social services. None of this cheap, although jail costs keep shooting up so who knows.
>Why do some countries initiating wars or being part of active apartheids get a pass and some other don't?

Money and politics, like anything else. The Olympics are a corrupt and venal capitalist enterprise.
> We still needed to use the Google maps API to get the user's current location though.

I’m sure as somebody who actually built a prototype, you understand the situation better than me, but I’m curious: why would just getting the user’s lat/long require anything you’d pay for? Wouldn’t the OS or browser provide that to you?
I had the idea for a sarcastic weather app once.

And you can't get botulism from fermenting. That is only in canning foods, since all the microbes are competing with each other. Good old C. botulinum can't hang.
They’re just kind of big ol’ moneyballs with easier access to at-cost resources. But even then they’re so big getting those resources can feel like you don’t even work at the same company.
Can't edit my post now…but I'm _pretty_ sure it was just HTML/CSS/JS, no running code anywhere. Could be wrong.
Yes, you read about std::variant on a blog and think that it is a sum type. Then you try it out and realize that it's a thin (type-safe) wrapper over tagged unions that is at least three times slower and has about 5 unreadable alternatives that replace simple switch statements.

Then you find out that members of a "variant" are not really variant members but just the individual types that can be assigned to a union. For example, assigning to a non-const reference does not work (and obviously cannot work once you realize that std::variant is just syntax sugar over a tagged union).

Most of these new additions since C++11 are just leaky abstractions and wrappers.
I studied Software Engineering, but never quite grasped the difference between a Library and a Framework until I started my first job developing with Web Objects.

It is a joy to use such a rich and well thought out Framework that really does do 99% of everything you need. Adding in your own stuff is about the easiest development I've ever done, and it just works. It was magic, and I miss using it.
and yeah, I've been an election observer a couple of times, witnessing democracy deterioration in Russia proper, I have to say that they cheat on _every_ level, with ridiculous redundancy, and in many cases without any noticeable coordination. All it takes is to make elections in municipal organizations like schools and hospitals and just by convenience assign bureaucrats and other government paid officials (like teachers!) to manage voting districts. Those guys are very well trained to understand unofficial demand for "results". Otherwise you know, next time funding would be lower or day to day work would become harder.
> All in it is usually under $1k to get one installed.

Where I'm at (outside of Philly) $1K is the bottom end. Depending on the distance from the panel, access to the garage and the house service it can be lots more. I had mine done (panel on the other end of the house) and it was $2200
Been using ddg for over a year. It shimming all the news sites with MSN (a bit like Google's AMP without the benefits) is a bit yuck. Also Google Shopping is sometimes useful. Otherwise I haven't looked back.
Ya so let’s focusing on helping kids be in the best environments possible. The pay off and effectiveness will be a magnitude better than wasting money on addicts later. We can’t exactly make healthy families, but preschool and summer camp opportunities, free healthcare, after school programs are all low hanging fruit.
Plus the Apple "Neural Engine" which has shipped on millions of iPhones for local inference.
Minoxidil is also highly toxic and fatal for cats. So some cat owners such as myself might appreciate an alternative.
Yeah, what’s popular is actually to crap all over the first amendment by mandating private companies to allow whatever each politician’s special definition of “free speech” is (but of course probably also not allowing whatever the politician’s definition of “dangerous misinformation” is).

As for the actual anticompetitive power of big tech, absolute crickets.
I had a quick look and even yahoo is more useable than google nowadays. How tables turned.
IPv6 format could at least abbreviate.
The worry is that the current players are too big to be disrupted. Reddit and Twitter turned openly hostile to users last year and few people left. There's a critical mass of docile users that are no longer willing to start over elsewhere.
I don't know I keep getting answers to different proposals than the one that I have made, all with a significant detail changed so that the answer makes sense and the proposal sounds absurd.

In this case, I don't know how the impression could be gained that I was suggesting mounting 100 or so individual assemblies of the very same read write head currently used on mechanical drives, each with its own separate wiring harness.

Obviously, yes that would substantially increase the cost and the mass and everything else, you're right. Thanks for setting me straight about the impracticality of very different solution than the one I described, which suggested the heads could be manufactured as a single integrated unit, the way every other matrix of active elements (OLED displays, memory cells, someone else mentioned mems, etc.) is made, which might require two additional wires for selection signalling, if that, depending on what could be multiplexed. In exchange for this weight and complexity you get rid of one, possibly two extra servo joints, one possibly two extra armatures, plus all the wiring and additional control logic required for positioning this very delicate articulated assembly.

Now, if this array cannot be manufactured because no current solid state process exists that can reproduce the characteristics of a wound coil, duplicated a hundred times in a linear array of cells on silicon or some other substrate, that's an obstacle I can reason about and accept as a plausible dead end.
Hmmm...looking at the images the wheels rotate inward allowing a natural turn, while the center piece tilts in towards the center of the turn, so I think it does in fact allow you to tilt into a turn and thus be forced into your seat, the same way as a bike.
