I think it originates from the observation that all machines "leak" power in the process of performing work. Vibrations, thermal conduction, infrared radiation, etc all tend to decrease efficiency and hence increase entropy (in the form of heat loss, mostly). Entropy can of course be lowered by bringing a measure of order to a given "isolated" system. At much larger scales however the vast number of possible microstates dominate, and thus the "inevitable march toward disorder". Also bear in mind that "entropy" itself is a fairly general concept which can be applied to just about any field. Information, for example, can expressed in terms of entropy. (Which obviously has nothing to do with the "thermal entropy" of physics.)

Anybody else finding that the need for upgrades slowed down dramatically?

Firezone employee here. I believe we have an idea to let customers sign their keys so that they don't need to trust our portal not to rewrite keys. This is probably the same idea Tailscale hit on.

(I can't find this idea in the issue tracker and I don't think it's on the roadmap yet, but we've discussed it.)

Unfortunately there is a big convenience-security tradeoff, managing your own keys and certs is a lot of work.
Thank you for sharing that document! The style is so thoughtful, it’s a delight.
I combed through their docs to try to find how these tokens would actually make maintainers money and it seems like it people pay projects for fixing bug reports (and penalize them if they don't)? The other demand drivers of the token seem to just be shuffling money around and are at best a pyramid scheme. I'm a little confused how someone seriously thought this was gonna be a good idea.

Tiller: Auto import your finances into Google Sheets and Excel
It's an extragovernmental organization unbeholden to any sort of transparency or democratic oversight, which sets policy by persistent lobbying and even overt conflict of interest relationships with public officials (as described in the article). That sounds pretty "shadowy" to me!

It's great that our system has ~50 different jurisdictions that can each choose their own regulations, and it makes sense that each of the states doesn't want to spend the resources studying the issues to create their own conclusions and legislation. But these type of organizations should be recognized and regulated for the type of governmental apparatus they most certainly are, rather than being allowed to skate by as "private" entities.

As for kei trucks, I feel like I should be in the target market but I just don't see their appeal. But of course, I don't have to personally see their appeal to believe that others should be able to register them.
I live by but two rules, private keys stay on the storage device they're first saved to, and makeup stays with the first person to use it.
The new government bears a big responsibility for the riots.

There has been growing frustration with high immigration for decades now. Brexit happened partly because of that. The Tories have lost partly because of that (they were "talking the talk" but enabled the highest level of immigration on record after Covid).

Then, in their very first month the new government dismantled many flagship initiatives of the previous government. Whether those initiatives were effective is irrelevant, the message sent is that the new government was even softer on immigration and I think this increased frustration and anger to the point that a spark was all it took, as is often the case.

Of course The Guardian will find culprits anywhere except at home...

Obviously this is not to condone or excuse violence but the causes of such events are always deeper than "social media" or than overusing the "far right" card.

> political marketing that will mean nothing if they get into office

Just not true. As the person you replied to pointed out there are hundreds of bills restricting rights for Trans people, all from the right.

In my experience, the average republican is almost allergic to accountability. Yes, these things are happening. Yes, these policies DO represent you. And yes if you vote right you contributed to it.

If that bothers you, or others, it might be time to analyze your affiliations. But you should not simply lie or live in a delusion that nothing happens. No no... things happen. The culture war politics the right cherishes do come to fruition.

Equity share with co-founder for an app I've already built
I've been building a SaaS app over the last couple years in my spare time. In classic dev fashion I didn't do any marketing at all and have no paying users.

The app is well past the MVP stage and is an advanced project coding wise at ~70-80k lines of well written code (hence the no marketing, I just like to code).

I'm talking to a couple of potential non-tech co-founders that have proven industry experience and success in marketing that are very interested. I would only be partnering up with 1 of them, making it just me and one co-founder.

My question is what is a reasonable equity share for this setup?

On one hand I'm bringing a lot, a full working app in a large market, but on the other it's pre-revenue so will require a lot of marketing work from them, and of course more development code wise.
I use a 3700X and have had no reason to upgrade yet.
Hetzner is great, I run services for my clients and production apps on their dedicated servers which are cheaper and more performant than AWS-wannabes like Linode and Digital Ocean which I used to use.

BUT I just wish they'd stop with the crypto fear. You can be banned just for having any form of crypto software running (i.e. a Bitcoin core node) or any form of cryptocurrency data in any shape or form.

Quote from a Reddit user quoting Hetzner's support: "From support: Please note that the operating of applications that are used to mine crypto currencies is not allowed on our dedicated and cloud servers. Our policy does not allow to run any application in connection with cryptocurrency. This includes mining/farming, plotting, operation of nodes, storage of blockchain data and trading."

That's far too vague to be sensible. I wanted to write some software to play with the Forth-like VM that's embedded in Bitcoin, and that sounds like it's forbidden (storing of blockchain data). I don't want to risk my livelihood or clients' VPSes to find out.

These draconian T&C rules is why I am slowly moving to the other AWS-wannabe-but-cheaper OVH, that at least has more sane and business-friendly terms and conditions, rather than being subject to the whims of some German middle manager that decided they just hate anything vaguely related to cryptocurrencies.

Thanks for the warning, I'm using yt-dlp so there is this risk that someday it will simply stop working. I'm currently always caching downloaded videos so that I will not have to download the same video more than once.

If we come to that, I'll definitely need to use a proxy service to work around it.

I've used ProxyMesh in the past for some WebScraping products (https://proxymesh.com/) and have been able to keep everything working for years so it may be a good workaround.

UTF-8 is innocent here, it's just a (very clever and useful) encoding of Unicode. The problem is adding junk codepoints based on current political ideology, not how they are encoded.
Thanks for the pointer, this made me have another closer look at xkbcommon's API. Probably not too relevent for the tool I'm currently writing, but I'll keep that in mind: Instead of a key symbol, you can also obtain an utf-8 encoded string. Nice.

Still, in practice, it will only work with some applications...
Does this accept the floorplans you see on apartment websites, or can it accept draft floorplans like this? https://starttofinishdrafting.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08...
While I agree it's not really security through obscurity because when combined with other strategies (like mitigating timing attacks and rate limiting) it does expose less information to the attacker.

However, I stand that it does depend on the application. For example: Facebook does not use generic error messages. I presume because there are other trivial ways to find out if a user has an account so mitigating enumeration through the login form is not actually adding extra security.
Fun project, thanks for sharing!

On Gnome there is the "Characters" application which is pretty handy. I do want to make a few improvement to search, but otherwise it's pretty good. You copy the unicode character to the clipboard and can then paste it wherever you need.

Chrome has an incredible commitment to web standards, to not throwing in arbitrary browser-specific web functionality, to going through the process of improving the web holistically. Trying to live up to that high expectation is hard, and we can see a dozen third party cookies or storage isolation concerns they're having to tackle if we go look at https://github.com/orgs/explainers-by-googlers/repositories?...
Good thoughts. IMHO Framer has a better shot at getting to clean AI generated frontends faster than Figma, since Framer sites already use the DOM/web standards, and there are a lot of well built sites to train on.

I think they need a bit more structure on their design systems and ability to export code / API and its off to the races

Figma is great but is relying on completely different internal structures (custom webGL renderer)
Show HN: I created over 300 TypeScript boilerplates in less than 1 week
Hey HN,

I’m a dev who loves building side projects. However, whenever I want to use a boilerplate to help with the setup, I find that it never has the exact tech stack I want for the project.

ShipKit allows you to download a boilerplate with the following tech all set up for you:

- TypeScript
- Astro, Next.js
- React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, Preact
- Pre-built components for each framework
- Drizzle, Prisma
- Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, Neon, Turso
- Lucia, Supabase, Clerk
- Stripe
- Resend
- Tailwind, daisyUI
- PostHog, Plausible
- Node, Netlify, Vercel

All in, you get over 300 TypeScript boilerplates to choose from.

It’s saved me so much time when I start a new project, and hope it does the same for you.

Would love to hear your feedback!

Also, let me know what else you’d like to see in ShipKit.

I think you're not really understanding the scope of the problem.

We have a train network. Amtrak is barely used, costs more than flying, and you still have to rent a car at the end of your multi-day trip on the train. The US is HUGE.

I lived in a mass transit society (Japan) for years. It's fundamentally different, in ways that aren't changeable.
First things first... hella props for just going out and doing something creative.

Things I like:

1. It's obvious where sections begin and end.

2. PLENTY or margin and padding. I know some people try to cram as much info on a single line as possible. My old eyes prefer spacing; it helps them track the text.

3. With one exception (mentioned below) the font sizes seem to "look good."

Things I might suggest are improvable:

1. It's not obvious what the show/hide button at the top of the page does at first glance. The button is at the top of the page and its effects are seen at the bottom of the page. Maybe put another copy of the button immediately above the answer section?

2. Continuing the show/hide theme, the per-answer-section show/hide button hides the content, but maintains the blank space in the document. That seems "wrong" to me since I have to scroll past complete blank areas when looking at it on my phone. And I think we could have no end of discussion whether those buttons should be at the top or bottom of the section that gets hidden. I'd just suggest trying putting them at the top and see if they look better to you.

3. The "Objective", "Question", "Result", "Answer" sub-section headers seem like they should be a little bigger.

I don't know if you tested some of these options, and completely defer to you if you tested them and they look even weirder. Just my $0.02. Mostly looks great.
At what point did the brain transition from not "harnessing quantum uncertainty and chaos theory to combine stateful information and recursive processes" to doing so? Do fish brains? What about the jellyfish nervous system?

My problem with these types of explanations is that they are so egotistical. We probably all agree that a rock doesn't have free will. Is there no quantum uncertainty and chaos theory happening inside a rock? What about in a solar system?

> continue to be transmitted from generation to generation

Yes, and no. Because the baseline moves. Progressives are ahead of the baseline, and conservatives behind it.

Conservatives of my day were anti-marriage equality. The ones before them were anti-gay in general. Before them, they were anti-integration. Before them anti-women's rights. Before them anti-suffrage. Before them anti-abolition.

The conservative stance gets pushed more and more forever with each passing generation. The overall idea stays - "maintain the status quo and conserve the days of old". But the days of old have changed.

In 100 years, conservatives of that day will be wildly different than the ones right now.
From any engineering post I have seen about Uber it seems like some deceptive marketing / hiring tactic when it is analyzed . They seem to repurpose standard practices into a blog post (this one might sounds like it has been derived from one).

Unicode is OK (flawed but OK), emoji in Unicode suck.

The worst part is Unicode breaking existing documents by retroactively converting some common symbols emoji-default, despite supposed stability guarantees.

The second worst part is the emoji combining sequences becoming an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Common Lisp.
I believe it's fixed now. Thank you to pointing on it.
There's almost nothing in that Libretto size from the mainstream companies. But there are small companies making 8 and 10 inch laptops. GPD seems the most popular brand but there are several you can find on Amazon, Aliexpress, and Ebay.

And then there's the Steam Deck, and variants from Asus and Lenovo. But with those you have to supply your own KB + stand. I guess they wouldn't quite count.

Power consumption can only really be compared at the same performance level (IMO) - though I guess it depends on if you plan to tweak the processor defaults.

One of my biggest bugbears is people using maximally clocked processors (such as the i9) as indicative of power efficiency in general. Processors use way more power for those last few hundred megahertz.

I don't think this release is all that impressive, tbh. Fairly minor upgrade all told, and not an upgrade at all for those of use who value performance more then efficiency (admittedly, you can eke out some small improvement via PBO)

So the headline is worrying, and I think a bit clickbaity. If the idea was to take e.g. r/iama or NSFW subreddits or something and require a paid subscription then that would suck, and is clearly the spectre the headline is trying to raise.

But the actual suggestion seems to be more along the lines of a competitor to patreon-linked discords, where patrons get access to a specific community, which is fine? As long as Reddit doesn't ban other subreddits discussing the same topics as the paid subreddits, they can be safely ignored if it's not your thing.

Can someone explain to me why there are _SO_ many boiler plate projects being created in the last year? Why do you need 300 different boiler plates? I use one that I know very well and can build quickly in.

Show HN: Harbor – Containerized LLM Toolkit
Hi,

Harbor is a toolkit to run LLMs and related services locally. It's not designed as a deployment solution, rather as a convenient local environment.

I was rocking a very similar setup (less components and features though) and then decided to polish it a little bit and make it open source.

Few interesting details about the project:

- Dynamic sub-selection of compose files to run together depending on which services are currently running. For example, Harbor knows that you're running SearXNG and Open WebUI together and injects a config for Web RAG based on SearXNG into the WebUI, same for TTS and LLM backends

- CLI supports arguments scrambling via a retry, e.g. `harbor set config` and `harbor config set` run the same command, it's supported for nearly all first pairs of arguments to the CLI

- Being an LLM project - after the setup you can ask CLI how to do something: `harbor how to configure vllm model?` (yes, no quotes), 50% gimmick, but very fun

Cheers,
Ivan

P.S. Forgive me for all the shell sins in the source.
