Oddly around 49 I became highly adaptable and became quite willing to put myself in another's hands, radically change the way I do anything at all, etc. It was associated with something that I realized, later, was a mental health crisis.

After things came to a head, I retreated. One day I read something I'd read many times and not really understood (something I've experienced often when doing research to help friends who were troubled by never got a proper psychodiagnosis) and I got it and finally understood how I was different from other people and why things went the way they have for me.

Funny though the super flexibility came back (without the delusions) and today I find reinvention easier than I ever did. Now I'm the kind of guy who has an argument with his RSS reader over why soccer sucks compared to the NFL and then I start thinking about feature selection and an ontology of sports articles and then next thing I know I am one of those people who gets up at 9AM on a Saturday to watch the Premier league, goes to MLS games, roots for the Red Bulls, etc.
Making House Calls to Mongolia's Herders
I'm sort of afraid to ask since everyone seems to know, but... what is he known for? Usually black bar means a tech giant has died, but absent a wiki page I'm having a hard time finding anything on google about him except the news of his death...
Oh, sorry, totally fair call-out. There's like a huge implicit "on Linux" thing in my brain about all this stuff.

I'd also be open to an argument that the code quality in DTrace is higher! I spent a week trying to unwind the verifier so I could port a facsimile of it to userland. It is a lot. My point about fuzzers and stuff isn't that I'm concerned DTrace is full of bugs; I'd be surprised if it was. My thing is just that everything written in memory unsafe kernel code falls against Google Project Zero-grade vulnerability research, at some point.

That's true of the rest of the kernel, too! So from a threat perspective, maybe it doesn't matter. I think my bias here --- that's all it is --- is that neither of these instrumentation schemes are things I'd want to expose to a shared-kernel cotenant.

Thanks for helping me clarify this.

Hm. Says "hand" not arm.

I don't want to second guess whether there were other undisclosed injuries but the image does show someone who could possibly have carried on typing without the use of his right thumb? Like I did for this paragraph. (Albeit perhaps it would be more comfortable using a split keyboard for more comfortable right arm position? And probably after a few days of rest)

Or perhaps with left hand only, using sticky keys? Like I did with this paragraph.

OK so code is a bit more effort, and particularly Rust or PHP would not be as fun. Python is a bit more one-hand friendly. (Quiet at the back!)

But still. _Something_ was forced here, but it wasn't the use of AI. I'm thinking more the marketing.

It seems to me some people have a broken reward system and some... don't. Some people can live life without ever seeking out a vice, and some people are unable to live without a vice.

Probably, from an evolutionary perspective, this made sense. But when you have a surplus of addictive things like sugar, nicotine, and alcohol, combined with mass society-wide manipulation to indulge via advertisement... well this functionality of the human brain makes less sense.

Ask HN: Simple web server with drag and drop upload?
To download files onto another computer there are multiple options for spinning up a simple web server with indexing. Is there a good option for going the other way, i.e. sending files to the host machine? I'm imagining running a command like:

cd some-dir; simple-upload-server

And then going to 192... and getting a page with a single file upload, ideally with drag and drop, that just puts any uploaded file into `some-dir`.

Show HN: Accurate body measurements from two images
Hello HN,

After spending quite a bit of time on this, I'm ready to share SnapMeasureAI's demo.

So, what is SnapMeasureAI? It's a tool designed to provide accurate body measurements, helping to slash those annoying retail returns.

The 3D body avatar has 7k vertices, with unlimited measurement possibilities. The demo includes pre-defined measurement locations, but these can be expanded.

FAQs:

1) Are images stored? - Nope, images are converted to base64 for processing only and never saved on any server (nothing saved = nothing to delete).

2) What is the best pose? - The field goal pose works great for me, but any pose is fine. Just be mindful of body parts being blocked from view.

3) What is the best attire to wear? - Tighter clothing works best, just like when you’re getting fitted by a tailor.

All thoughts and feedback are appreciated.

Thanks! Yuri
I don't see anything fundamentally obvious about this (chip design and arch background). If you look at chip photographs, you see massive amounts of space dedicated to wiring compared to the "logic cells" area, if you include the routing in between the logic cell rows - if you want to look at it this way for compute vs interconnect. Nicely regular, full custom datapaths exist, but so do piles of standard cells. And massive amount of space dedicated to storage-like functions (registers, cache, prediction, renaming, whatever.) If you could 1) have logic cells that "do more" and are larger, 2) less wiring because denser usage of the same lines, 3) denser "memory" areas - well that would be a LOT! So, not saying it's an obvious win. It's not. But it's worth considering now and then. At this level the speed of conversion between binary and multi-level becomes critical also - but it's not so slow that it obviously can't fit the need.

I found that having a good system prompt improves results significantly.

This is my system prompt for coding assistants:

You are a senior full-stack developer, one of those rare 10x devs. Your focus: clean, maintainable, high-quality code. Here's how:

Key Mindsets:
1. Simplicity: Keep it straightforward.
2. Readability: Make sure code is easy to follow.
3. Performance: Optimize, but not at the expense of clarity.
4. Maintainability: Write code that’s easy to update.
5. Testability: Ensure code is simple to test.
6. Reusability: Aim for reusable components/functions.

Code Guidelines:
1. Early Returns: Avoid nested conditions.
2. Conditional Classes: Prefer over ternary for class attributes.
3. Descriptive Names: Use clear variable/function names (e.g., handleClick).
4. Constants > Functions: Use constants where possible.
5. DRY: Keep code correct, best practice, and DRY.
6. Functional & Immutable: Prefer functional style unless verbose.
7. Minimal Changes: Only touch what’s necessary.

Comments & Documentation:
- Comment functions explaining their purpose.
- Use JSDoc for JS (unless it’s TypeScript).

Function Ordering:
- Define composed functions earlier in the file.

Handling Bugs:
- Use TODO: comments for bugs or suboptimal code.

Minimal Code Changes:
Focus on the task at hand. Avoid unrelated modifications and avoid changing existing comments or code without necessity.

This approach ensures clean, maintainable, and testable code while minimizing technical debt.
Needs teach you things.
Hi Angela! We currently have an integration with Google Drive that allows you to select a folder to display in your Dashboarrrd Space. With that you can access Google Drive files from Dashboarrrd. In the coming days this integration will also allow you to upload files to Google Drive.

There is a widget we're working on that would allow you to create a drop box inside your Space. Allowing you to store your files with us.
I agree with you in spirit but would suggest that pushing for more funding of schools, universities, basic research, and applied research is something that we should all be doing.

AI in its current form is nothing more than glorified autocomplete. I’m not sure the billions and billions in GPUs and developers can overcome that and make it something more - it’s very useful for generating parsers out of unstructured data or writing simple utility functions, but if I had to bet, I’d say it will only enable even more people to be productive and not take away anyone’s job.

I'm sorry to hear that. I wonder where those connotations of quest come from. Did you in the past play a lot of computer role playing games?

Defining work as trips... I wonder... what kind of work do you do and are you happy with the fruits of your work?
Genuine question: How do you believe one should learn these semantics? This is more something I've been pondering myself recently, because I agree with you that the foundational knowledge for our work in any tech stack is usually the most important for understanding higher abstractions. But with so much to know it feels impossible to 'know it all' so to speak especially if you wear more than one specialized hat. Then beyond that even if you're only trying to learn just the foundations how do you know what those foundations are if you're not already inundated in that stack?

This is mostly just my personal ramblings, but I'd be curious other peoples viewpoints on this.

But bots need to be trained on data before use. That the bot will 'soak in'. And have acces to the specific set of data allowed during the training. Which then will be given out at the time being used. Either those bots have access to the very same set of data at training time as the user will have at using time, or there will be trouble (not working with right set of data and miss things, or giving too much not having privilege to normally). Right? Jut trying to understand.

So then each user need to use a specific bot trained precisely to the level of acces the user is having. And need proper matching mechanism the right bot to the right user without glitch. Right? Switching bots at changing privilege levels, deserting previously used one for a - for the user - brand new one. Like this?

=== input to ChatGPT 4o ===

I'm trying to read some text but one of the characters is unclear. I will use the notation [xy] to indicate that I think the character is either x or y. Please tell me which one you think is correct. Here is the text: "There was a lot of traffic on [I1]-80 this morning." In your response, please include a line like "correct character: x" so I can see the conclusion at a glance.

=== ChatGPT's response ===

The correct character in the text is likely "I".

Interstate highways in the United States are often denoted by "I-" followed by the highway number. "I-80" is a major interstate highway that runs across the United States, so it makes more sense in this context than "1-80," which would imply a different and less common road designation.

correct character: I

No I don't think you do.

We are dealing with a global crisis of obesity. We have a disease more prolific than ever before. There is something about the human brain that is wrong or imcompatible with the modern surplus of food. Something about our reward centers doesn't work. Not with modern society.

Addiction of this scale cannot be solved with individual actions. "Just stop" doesn't save an alcoholic, nor does it save a smoker. Fundamentally we need to rewrite how we view obesity.

We need solutions. Not more of this "try harder" fluff. Because it just doesn't work. If what you're saying is true, we wouldn't be in this mess. Obesity is more complex than we give it credit. It goes back to the food industry, health industry, advertisement. We can't just ignore everything and continue our "do nothing" approach.

This is not a discipline problem, this is a human problem. The solution MUST then target humans, not their actions. If that's a drug, for now, that's fine.

300m / 300k largely just simplifies the maths. That's useful for very rough napkin calculations.

Going beyond that: for starters you can exclude children to a certain age (say 5, 10, 15 years), based on limited literacy, and adults in later years with visual and cognitive deficiencies (glaucoma, macular degeneration, dementia, other cognitive conditions). Ten-and-unders alone are about 10% of the total population: <https://www.neilsberg.com/insights/united-states-population-...>.

Then there's actual measured adult literacy rates which are ... far more sobering than you might think. At least half the U.S. adult population would struggle strongly with any modestly complex text, fiction or nonfiction:

> it is, ironically, against the law to enforce the law on someone else without being granted that authority by the state.

Not sure why that's "ironic". Seems reasonable. Only people trained and accountable should be doing things that would violate people's civil rights and take away their freedom or possessions.

Obviously the reality of our legal systems fall far short of ideal, but IMO vigilantism is not the answer to that.

> Its still not quite accurate to deem vigilantes as criminals though. Unless they've been charged and convicted they aren't technically a criminal.

You sound like the kind of kid who would put their hand an inch from their sibling's face and constantly utter "not touching! still not touching!" and think that you were "technically" not breaking the rules, so your behavior was ok.

I've been riding the same external BB since 2015. The only people I've ever heard of replacing their external BBs are hardcore mountain bikers or people with exotic weird BBs. It's nothing special, just a run of the mill Shimano BB-52.

While the bearings are a bit more exposed, they're significantly larger which means they can be sealed better. In practice they are pretty well protected fully sealed bearings. There's not really that much of a reason they'd have to be less protected than internal bearings.

Is that 20x cost... actually bad though? (I mean, I know Datadog is bad. I used to use it and I hated its cost structure.)

But maybe it's worth it. or at least, the good ones would be worth it. I can imagine great metadata (and platforms to query and explore it) saves more engineering time than it costs in server time. So to me this ratio isn't that material, even though it looks a little weird.
Yes.

If you have a problem with that, maybe it shouldn't be on the books.

Seems like an attempt to bring "lockfiles" or related concepts to Quicklisp. This is a desperately needed quality-of-life improvement for "modern" Common Lisp development.

However, I wish people in the Common Lisp community weren't weary of using ASDF directly. It already supports versioning and many features that do not exist in Quicklisp -- despite the fact Quicklisp wraps ASDF -- such as a package that depends on a version of a library newer (or older) than what exists in the current dist.

It's kind of impressive that Common Lisp is the only language I use where I can't expect code written today to work next month due to Quicklisp lacking versioning outside of the date attached to dists.
> Most of weight loss actually happens in the kitchen, not the gym

This isn't really true. Or it doesn't have to be.

If you look at people with high muscle mass, you'll notice something. They eat a lot. Like... a lot.

Michael Phelps famously ate close to 10,000 calories a day. Now granted, he swam a lot. But did he burn 8,000 calories a day swimming and hitting the gym? No.

When you have more muscle, you burn more calories. Always, even when you sleep. So while a 20 minute run might only burn 150 calories... how many did you burn by running 20 minutes every day and building up leg muscles? Now it's harder to tell.
Can you enumerate the claims you are claiming are directly contradicted?
