The 'custom css and js loader' extension for vscode is pretty good. since most of the editor is rendered with HTML you can pretty much do anything you want, pairs nicely with the built-in dev console and easier/quicker to iterate than doing things the 'proper way' via extensions/api.

Yeah, that's why they make us send money out of our companies to US management consulting firms.

No they didn't. At all. I can't unsubscribe to a wide variety things in an App Store. Indeed, one reason apps want to have control over their own payment processing is so they don't have to follow App Store rules for stuff like this. Moreover, App Stores are a bit of a local monopoly that has the power to dictate terms to their hosted apps. So the only way to solve this problem seems to be edicts from a controlling authority.
The timing of this and other announcements is not by accident though.

Expect a handful of populist announcements leading up to some "October" surprise that has been in the works for some time. It will be most obvious when it is generally favorable and can proceed without the need for two-party agreement.

It's not particularly complicated. You boot into the rescue system and from there "dd" the OpenBSD install kernel to the host's boot disk. Reboot and attach to the host's serial console, then follow the installation script as usual.

I read the article carefully, especially the bit where they discovered after driving it that the UI had changed.

Their initial reaction was on not being able to find the button after five minutes of driving it, which is what my comment is about.
Why do you believe that could be a related phenomenon? How much server market is going to non-cloud vs. cloud? Some analysts estimate the global server market last year at $95 to $150 billion. AWS spent $48 billion on capital last year. Google bought $32 billion in capital, most of which is "on-prem" from their perspective. A switch in the machine-of-the-day from Intel to AMD at one of these large buyers could easily cause the slight change in market share mentioned in the article.

Overall I think a lot of people continue to underestimate the size of the heavy hitters on the buy side of the server market.
Individual change has been promoted for 40 years if not more. Promoting it isn't fixing the underlying problem, though I'm sure it makes some people feel better about where they stand on the self-sacrifice ladder when they have others to look down on.
ChatGPT itself is eager, or plays the role of an eager companion. Why?

- it's conversationally-aligned with dumping large amounts of information

- it's an easy emotional state to hold unilaterally (without factoring in the other participant)

- it's unlikely to offend or cause a PR nightmare

- it's flattering!

Google has the private road of a local landfill labelled as a bike path. They label little paths in cemeteries as bike paths. Its a little embarrassing how much they rely on automatic data vs, you know, a cities own published bike network maps.
According to your link, their fertility rate is changing from 7 to 4. But the population keeps growing exponentially.

> Having said that, the reduction in the number of children per woman does not keep the population from continuing to rise in Africa because fertility rates remain high.
I don't really understand that distinction?

We are at the point where the energy grid is hampering EV adoption and technological (AI) progress - optimistically there is a real economic incentive that renewables will pick up the pace now, pessimistically it's too late.
Yeah. I found it through playing a game called Anno Mutationem, and all the discussions about it kept referencing this SCP thing. I figured there was no way they were talking about secure copy, but the fact that no one ever stopped to unpack the acronym indicated to me that I'd missed Something Big On The Internet.

The way I would do it: Get a board with a grid of 5x5 insets (like a Big Boggle board), a screen to hide it, 25 colored marbles (9 blue, 8 red, 1 black, 7 white), and a bag. Shake the marbles in the bag and empty it onto the board, shuffling it around until each marble is in a hole.

(Add another red marble if you want to alternate the starting team without switching their color and remove a red or blue marble each time.)

Population momentum [1] [2] [3] [4]. The same reason global population is headed to 10 billion people by 2100 from 8 billion today even though the fertility rate is rapidly declining today. Think of it like the "long and variable lag" of monetary policy (where it takes time for the system to change when inputs are changed). Africa's population will continue to increase like a roller coaster peaking from historical fertility rate, and then begin the decline incurred by the current fertility rate decline.

How quickly the fertility rate continues to decline in Africa is a function of how quickly the continent develops/urbanizes, and how robust women empowerment and education continues into the future.

Probably one of the only sports that doesn't require very specific genetic mutations to compete in at an Olympic level.
The standard of living is something very dynamic though. It's more about perception than anything.

It's normal that people want "better" than what their parents had, question is what is "better". If lots of people would see "better" (for example) as "less polluted town, where you enjoy walking" and NOT "more place to be in your car", things would fix themselves given some time.

My favorite example: why did Netherlands adopted bikes? Because there were killing too many children with cars (ref: https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2015/may/05/amsterdam-bic...)

Nowadays there are many opportunities (high speed trains to replace some flights, e-bikes to allow bikes in non-flat cities, insulation to reduce heating, rather cheap renewable energy), so it's not all lost UNLESS people want specifically something very bad (exaggerating: "I love my coal plan!")
Emacs, as has been mentioned multiple times in this thread, but I wanted to share a bit more about why.

Emacs is a text manipulation environment, and it's incredibly powerful to be able to run any elisp code. In org-mode, I use plain lists and checkboxes often, and after inserting the checkbox, I always need to move my cursor 2 spaces to the right. Well, with Emacs and elisp, I can do that:

(defun my-org-toggle-checkbox-and-move-right ()
"Toggle checkbox and move cursor 2 spaces to the right."
(interactive)
(org-toggle-checkbox)
(forward-char 2))

;; Bind the function to a key if desired
;; (global-set-key (kbd "C-c t") 'my-org-toggle-checkbox-and-move-right)

Other examples: https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/1bgyq3y/wrote_my_fir... or https://blog.thomasheartman.com/posts/my-first-emacs-lisp or https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/54602/how-do-i-def...

And of course, because your config is text/code you can version control it, which allows rollbacks if you make a mistake ;)
What I don't understand is how society at large is so bad at "professional" UX. How did we get to this point, the constant dumbing-down of user interfaces that results in a more complicated and confusing product. Who are these UIs working for?
Seems like "chef's kiss" is replacing "icing on the cake" or "cherry on top", although I think it really means "stamp of approval", so that one has been bugging me since I hear it all the time now, it seems.
I don’t agree with it, but I can take a guess as to why - they are putting the cart before the horse - cars truly aren’t self-driven enough to take our attention away from the road. If they were, we’d have the time to tinker deep into menus or whatever.

As a driver I really want tactile feedback on my controls - even clear buttons on a screen require a half-second glance off the road which in bad weather is not a good idea. Needless to say, all forms of self-drive features give up in inclement weather.

If you’re in the SF Bay Area and like secondhand stores, you owe it to yourself to visit Urban Ore. It’s a secondhand store with a focus on building material. Things to check out include:

- a section for doors, if you want it, they have it

- the outdoor bathroom fixtures

- their tool section

I visit about once a year and enjoy seeing the weird things that accumulate there.

Make a New Programming Language
For months now Spotify has locked me into algorithmic slop in its discovery features. In the past I had no problem listening to some chill lo-fi while I work and rock or indie or whatever for pleasure. The Discover Weekly playlist would give me a reasonable mix of these.

Nowadays my Discover Weekly is nothing but "lo-fi" elevator music, despite my best efforts to dissuade it with the dislike button. Worse, if you click in to any of the artists of these songs they're all mysteriously vacant profiles with no social media connections or descriptions.

I absolutely despise Spotify as a company and have felt trapped by them for years so maybe I have an unreasonable bias against them in thinking this, but the thought crossed my mind that they're creating this slop themselves to suck up as many streaming minutes as possible to avoid paying real artists/producers.

Of course, it's also possible they're just turning a blind eye to abusers who generate this stuff and flood the platform looking for a quick buck. Mutually beneficial for them I guess.
"legal notice in a newspaper" is still very much a thing in common law jurisdictions, with a long history, see banns going way back https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/banns

if you change your name you need to put it in the newspaper, and https://futureofnewspapers.net/how-to-place-a-legal-notice-i...

There are many different types of legal ads, with different costs to advertise. The most common type of legal notice in New York is an LLC formation notice. The State of New York requires limited liability corporations to run an ad informing the public on the formation of the new corporation. There are also FCC, SLA liquor licenses, sidewalk cafe notices, name change notices, divorce notices (also known as dissolution of marriage notices), and probate notices.

Having worked on medical software that runs a 2,000,000+ patient workload that perform refills for chemotherapy/HIV/immuno drugs, where it was common for people to trample each others work as they ran insurance, called patients etc...

We had to roll our own locking system that relied on interval functions (yay IE7) and websockets... This meant when you called the patient, someone running financial assistance would be unable to work on the same profile.

I can envision other uses for FTS or even vector search locally, since they are insanely expensive at scale.

How many Gates are there in a typical Harvard grad cohort? Are 5% of Harvard grads a Gates?

If we're looking at lightning strikes, it seems like we should look at some of the most successful tech CEO's in history, in no particular order.

Gates & Zuck - Harvard (Microsoft and Facebook; both dropped out by end of second year or earlier)

Larry Ellison (Oracle, third richest man in the world in 2000's and currently 9th richest) - dropped out of Univ Illinois and Chicago

Larry Page, Sergein Brin (Google, dropped out of Stanford)

Elon Musk (Tesla/SpaceX/X/PayPal/etc, richest man in world, attended Queen's and then transferred to ivy league U Penn, one of the very few that completed a degree, BS in both Physics and Econ)

Jeff Bezos (Amazon, second richest in world, earned BSE in EE/CS from Princeton, summa cum laude)

Steve Jobs (Apple, dropout Reed College)

Of course, these numbers have such a high p-value that really it amounts to nothing more than a guess or, at best, a hypothesis, and I get that you're just suggesting that those who both get admitted to Harvard and actually complete a full education there have much higher than average rates of being successful, but it seems that the extreme ends of such a graph end up being counter-intuitive, because:

From a very quick review of an admittedly hand-picked assortment of the very small number of "most" successful tech CEO's (whatever that might mean), we can identify a few common characteristics:

1. most did attend a university of varying quality.

2. A minority attended an elite school.

3. most did not complete even their second year.

There are a lot of things that can be read into this, but it does seem to be borne out across most less-regulated industries: founders tend to be smart enough to get into university but perhaps too impatient to stay in for the duration, but leaders of older companies (such as larger and public companies) tend to have at least a four-year degree, although I don't have any hard data about this (particularly because there seems to be a dearth of data for "successful" startup founders outside of the VC world, for any meaning of the word "success".)

The one thing I don't like about WezTerm, at least the reason why I stopped using it, is related to how it handles copying wrapped lines into the clipboard. It might just be me, and how I use tmux, but I found that when copying a line that gets wrapped, it includes a newline in the copied text. Very annoying, and I think it has to do with the interaction between WezTerm and tmux.

I don't have enough evidence to create a good bug report, and I WezTerm has its own terminal multiplexing server ("ssh domains"), so it's probably not important enough to fix anyway. I don't want to install the WezTerm multiplexing server everywhere, and tmux is pretty much on all of the places that I ssh into already.

Other than that, WezTerm is great!
The One-Instruction Window
I wonder if in a couple of years there will be a lot of old car conversion businesses around. Especially for the most common cars with the whole supply chain of ready made parts. The only real requirement from an old car I can immediately think of is for the car body to be fully galvanized. It would probably be best for smaller cars as the battery cost and electric drive train utility would be the biggest.

But eventually maybe my 2009 Renault Laguna could also be converted :P
No it isn't. Better responses please.
Show HN: OpenRouter with Guardrails (Jailbreak, PII, etc.)
Hello HN!

We have been working on an open source routing mechanism that has built in guardrails (i.e. preventing jailbreak, injection, PII leakage). It's really similar to OpenRouter but we've added a guardrail mechanism to it.

These guardrails are highly extensible but have focused around natural language based interactions (e.g. you have a chatbot that you don't want leaking PII).

Some our guardrails are other open source models (like Metas prompt guard they released with 3.1 or Microsoft Presidio).

Would love feedback to see what folks think!

Thanks!
I still recall a big reputable newspaper that was approaching students with free sample subscriptions to their newspaper. The sign up was super simple, to end the subscription you had to do the telephone equivalent of getting through a maze blindfolded while sacrificing your first born when the stars aligned right.

After that experience that news source is on my and many of my colleagues black lists. And we are the core demographic they would probably like to target.

Yeah.
Hmm I'll have to look into this. After some basic playing around with this feature it might be workable. In my head I had my editor taking over the current program in the terminal, and after exiting it would return to the previous program, but that involves some backgrounding and job manipulation that I haven't given too much thought. Thanks for the tip.
I think Intel still takes the crown when it comes to maximizing every single fps.

How Bank of America Ignores Its Own Rules to Prevent Dangerous Workloads
I agree with that and Scala example, but also languages diseased by not evolving and not allowing new widely-accepted features. I wonder what would happen with Go if they never changed their mind and kept it without generics?

My point is not about bringing all features other languages have (its just not possible unless its a lisp), but rather creating a new language and not understanding how vital something like generics is for general purpose programming. That is an orange flag for me.
Oh hey that's my mom-in-law!

> The sort of thing you'd solve in 30 seconds with Google in 2024.

I’ve implemented this in my own games and I remember that the solution was basically raycasting. But it was NOT some 30 seconds thing. It was a major effort anyway.

(There are of course other options, like rendering a picture with a different color for each object, and sampling the color to figure out what you clicked on. And “color” may just be a 1-channel integer object ID.)
Respectfully, your favourite example depresses me. Pre-2013 or so I would have agreed, but North America, when faced with "Too many parents are accidentally running over their children in driveways and parking lots", chose to mandate backup cameras instead.
I'll throw another anecdote into the rapidly filling bucket: A buddy of mine gave me a ride in his Tesla. When we arrived, I reached for the door handle and opened the door - a natural, smooth motion, at the end of which my hand found a handle that I could pull.

My buddy told me that that's the emergency release, and to not use that, because it can damage the car if used too many times, and had to show me the real door handle. (I have already forgotten where it is.)

It's probably good that in an emergency, my hand would naturally reach for the thing that would release me from the car - but on the other hand, it's wild that the natural muscle memory of decades leads me to a thing that'll fuck up his car.
Yeah I can't understand why people think that inviting new middlemen into their transactions is acceptable. It's time to stop prostrating ourselves to these companies.

Urban Ore is amazing. If you're renovating a property in the Bay Area and are going for a retro look, you owe yourself a trip to Urban Ore. Or if you're renovating an old house, you should seriously consider selling/donating your old fixtures to Urban Ore.

It's a wonderful testament to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Edit: It looks like they don't buy stuff and you have to pay to drop off now, but still worth it because it's still cheaper than paying to dump it and someone else will get a chance to use it.
The world where Apple is just completely fine with Apple users paying $13 instead of $10 for a subscription if they do it through an app is an interesting one.

Obviously this makes a lot of money for them but when you think about it they must think very little of their customers treating them with disrespect like this. This is how 'Tim Cook's Apple' should be remembered.
