We have the basics (exposing an accessibility tree that is visible to screen readers, a keyboard controllable focus system). There's a lot more work to do be done to make it work well (but that's also true of Blitz in general).

We're building upon https://github.com/AccessKit/accesskit which provides a cross-platform abstraction over the OS accessibility APIs.

Underground delivery startup Pipedream raises $13M
My brother is an executive at a small private college, where he graduated from and has worked most of his adult life, and in the last two decades it’s leadership, overarching vision and identity, and strategies for securing enrollments have gone through a few fairly major shifts in response to changing economic, political, and social pressures. It has had to be exceptionally agile and adaptable to keep itself relevant and competitive. I think the parent post has a point with regards to the risks of a sclerotic bureaucracy, but the level of no-effort confidence in one’s own survival I think is vanishingly rare in all but the most entrenched institutions.

A basic question I always had about Simpson's paradox: If X is positively correlated with Y, but X is also negatively correlated with its parts when Y is broken down (Simpson's paradox) – is it then more likely that X causes Y or that X causes not-Y?

This seems to be a pretty fundamental question but I have never seen it addressed.

For me, it still beats Google by miles when I need an actual map to orient myself or get a feel for the geography of a place, as opposed to the map merely being a convenient sort-of-geographical background for navigation instructions or the result of a POI search.

Google doesn't always properly demarcate built-up areas, doesn't show forests, mistakes large-scale "Nature parks" for regular city parks and shades everything inside them in green, including complete towns and villages…

We are going to switch the approach from opening git repos in the browser to a new "version control" system that is designed for apps and file formats beyond text. Building an app on top of git is a fiasco that leads to 90% of time investments going into workarounds around git, like a text-based database to avoid merge conflicts.

We are making the "version control system" for apps and binary files available soon. Here is a landing page https://lix.opral.com/

Yes.

For clear communication, the title, introduction, and conclusion should all align with the body of the message with minimal surprises. If you intentionally subvert a trope and depend on people to read through the entire release to realize that, then a non-zero fraction won't because each component has a bounce-rate (headline > 1st line > rest of article). There's a bunch of people who believe there are layoffs at Comma - you can blame them for the communication failure if you want.
Maybe it would be neat if there was a place online people could hoard, archive, and share their link troves. I know I’d be interested in that. A lot of this type of content becomes unmaintained and rots badly.
A simple rule of thumb is that people should mind their own business, i.e. if it doesn't affect you / your day, leave people alone. If someone chooses to browse their phone during a meetup (which I presume you refer to), that's their loss; while it's rude that someone doesn't seem to pay attention to a speaker, it doesn't affect the speaker or the rest of the audience unless they choose for themselves to make a problem of it.
A small number of Walter Mitty types believe hotel maids are planning to hide undetectable snooping devices inside their electronic devices - a so-called "evil maid attack" - and so choose not to have their room cleaned.

In the normal operation of a hotel, such guests are uncommon - but I expect defcon attracts several orders of magnitude more such people.
Is that page showing the complete set of glyphs? I assumed it was a subset because I didn't see the degrees symbol ° and surely they have that.
That's fair. One of the things that I hope Blitz's modular approach will enable is more experimentation around this kind of things. It should be quite easy to take the rendering support and add your own syntax or layout algorithms for example.

How feasible this is in practice remains to be. I'd be interested to see/hear what your vision would look like.

You don’t have to install the latest version if you don’t want to. If you use a version manager, you can keep using whatever version you want for many years.
I think a study like this is mostly worthless.

The issue here is that humans are a combination of their natural state (how they would be if they were raised with no contact, direct or indirect, with society) and social conditioning (the system of induced emotions and mental strategies that society instills in people to sustain and propagate itself).

"Committed relationships" are in the natural state most likely naturally living in a tribe, with probably little or no pair bonding/coupling in humans, while western social conditioning is about committed relationships, marriage, etc. with several very different flavors (traditional marriage, polyginous marriage, hierarchical polyamory, etc.)

"Casual sex" in the natural state probably "just happens", while social conditioning has a whole lot of mental ideas about with whom/when/how much you should do it, what it means if you do/don't do it, etc.

The problem with studying the natural state is that there are little or no humans living in it (and certainly none accessible to most/all researchers), and the closest animals, chimpanzees and bonobos, are significantly different between them in their sociosexuality.

The problem with studying social conditioning is that it massively varies between gender, location, subculture, age, historical period, and varies randomly between individuals.

So this study at best might manage to describe the average social conditioning that currently affects Mechanical Turk users (clearly chosen because it's easy and cheap to target them, rather than any attempt at producing quality research), and thus is pretty much useless.
Agree. Pain management is an important quality of life topic too
I vaguely seem to recall that the founders said in HN postings at launch that they had no intention of Gitlab ever being sold or something like that? I wonder what happened.
Sure and what is possible is that some users develop RISC-V based applications and RPi can offer a slightly cheaper version for those really price sensitive customers.

The comment I replied to was unduly alarmist though in suggesting Arm could make the Pico ‘expensive’ vs ‘cheap’ now with a royalty increase on an existing license.

I don't think we are learning that for electric cars, since those are based on very old technology that is not very complicated. Indeed, electric motors are far simpler than combustion motors, and lithium-ion batteries have been produced in large quantities for a while. As far as I know, most other car components don't depend on the type of motor.
Yes. It's not really "open" if it depends on a non-libre service. To be legit, they must at least enable this experimentally.
Exactly, and same as my comment below (parquet+iceberg+s3).

And yes Athena is a part of that. And we also use dbt but mostly for a place to commit and push queries. And I agree with the other question about glue, it is the ugliest part.

I guess a +1 is not per hacker news standard, but i still want to give it some strength, given that we came up with the same solution independently.
> GIL-less Python can be used by well-designed libraries to achieve speedups, but that's not code written by the aforementioned pandas users

Yes, that's why having something like Pandas use it would be better than getting all users to write their own version.

In Bits and Pieces. Isn't that how the Internet grew?

Those that have more pressing needs or have more aligned opportunities will invest first, then the cost goes down as the scale and technology improves, and the global network is built.

Geopolitics might be a big stumbling block though.
I aee a lot of disagreement here. It's not that it's specific to DEFCON of "hacking equiptment". It's that the prior attack has given hotels the will and potential legal cover to do room checks/searches. They can now apply this to anything, such as "hacking" equiptment, guns, hotplates, etc. There are even examples of hotels handing over property from rooms or valets to law enforcement without a warrant.
If some people are offended by phone use, and no people are offended by non-phone use, then I'd have thought the default (assuming you don't want to check or to offend) would simply be non-phone use.
>> For example, the iphone 12 mini battery was a dog

> That's kinda the defining feature of a small phone.

The two do not necessarily follow. If you made a phone that was small(er) in width and height, but slightly (1-2mm) bigger in depth, you could have a larger battery that was perhaps not "a dog".
I could also be answering a phone call. I think browsing your phone is mostly considered rude by people, but answering a call would be more grey area. Depending on the nature of the meet up and the perceived urgency of the call (which would be hard to estimate for the rest of the people present).
How fast could this run in a modern CPU with a modern GPU?
That's not necessarily true. Markdown is a good example of compile-to-html format that has gained huge popularity.
NextJS Template Belongs to Simplicity
This template belongs to Simplicity.

Hii Hackers,

I am building Easy UI [ https://easyui.pro ] - 100% FREE Collection of High Quality NextJS Templates.

Today, I am excited to announce a new Template.

Introducing Easy Story - Most Simple Landing Page EVER (For Real).

Link - https://www.easyui.pro/ez-story

Built using Next.js, Shadcn UI, Magic UI, React and a lot of Tailwind Labs CSS.

I tried to keep it as clean as possible.

What's unique about this template? I actually used it in one of my real-world projects called "StoryMagicAI".

For this release, I've redesigned and rebuilt it from scratch with a proper code structure to ship it with Easy UI as a structured clean template.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this!

PS. If you haven't checked out Easy UI yet,

Thank You !!
Loophole-free test of local realism via Hardy's violation
Pretty much every such product uses libz, libssl, and these days websocket and javascript libraries. Are they malware? Very often the border between malware and non-malware is not clear. There are many command and control software that have no payload, and no exploits to spread. Are those malware? What about IRC/XMPP servers, webRTC/STUN/servers + proprietary equivalents, name resolution services (from DNS to some company's active directory), DHT, game servers (minecraft, quake) and other public services that often serve as or contribute to command-and-control hubs?

But I'm not really interested in drawing an actual clear line. I'm worried especially what will happen if a local police officer or court judge takes action based on their personal assessment of a cybercrime. And now, with this law, international action. Right now often DNS is sabotaged, usually on a way larger scale than necessary, to achieve a court order. Inconveniencing everyone, often right up to gTLDs.

Usually such a court order then doesn't work because the fact that a court case exists (and the time these things take) serves as ample warning for the malware authors plus you can use encryption to hide the command and control servers beyond the reach of even sabotaging DNS. And even that is assuming the damage isn't completely done by the time a decision is reached.

Actual prevention of malware attacks is the domain of extra-judicial agents working at security companies, and they usually disable malware by injecting their own payloads, something that even currently is highly illegal, and sometimes causes the justice system to go after these individuals.
To expand on this, if they tried to land on the water planet where time so dilated that one hour equals 7 months… what would their velocity have been when they contacted the surface? And how much energy did their spaceship need to reach escape velocity from there?

I noticed the same change related to Parenting Etiquette.

I came from a not-so-strict family in the 80s and 90s, and I recall as a kid several small things, such as being on time for dinner, not screaming in the supermarket, never touching anything in other people's houses, asking permission for almost everything, and so on. And this was more or less the unwritten law in my demographic.

At a very young age, it was almost like we knew that we could or not, and in the latter case, we could just ask an adult.

Fast forward: being a parent myself, I found myself struggling a lot with other parents who did not stimulate some kind of etiquette and how some kids are being softly excluded or slightly ostracized without knowing it.

One example is aggressiveness and hitting other kids. I participate in a circle of parents (approximately . 5 families, 13 kids, more or less in the same age). One of those kids started to be more aggressive, even with the toddlers and most of the parents did not want to say anything to the kid and for his parents. One week later, we went to another gathering and my partner mentioned that one of the families were not invited due to its kid.
The dictionary and US law disagree with you.

Edit: I’ve posted this argument on HN before, but if you insist on expanding the accepted definition of theft, then malware, crypto miners, video ads, and other garbage that is frequently served via ad networks are also stealing from me, by wasting electricity and possibly also taking my personal data. So I block ads to prevent this theft. Who is in the right in this case?
XR Glasses as Mirrorless Camera EVF Replacement
This will be photography related, and I decided to share my recent discovery as it is very exciting for me and might be also for you.

Imagine seeing each photo you take (live view) on a huge screen anywhere you are, this will be exactly about it.

For a long time I was wondering whether it would be possible to use some sort of lightweight VR solution as a camera EVF replacement. Something which would allow me to see what camera sees in a more immersive way and be light and easy to operate enough to allow me to carry it anywhere. For a very long time this wasn’t possible, but now it finally is. Recently I discovered Xreal Air 2 Pro XR glasses, they offer 1080p (2Mpx) screen resolution per eye. They weigh 80g. They can be directly connected to HDMI with a little effort. They offer amazing color accuracy, very good contrast, as these are micro OLED screens, and they have a refresh rate 120Hz. The whole solution is also fairly inexpensive (around £500 for all). Apart from glasses I use a power bank, HDMI to USB-C converter with additional power delivery for glasses (tiny Lemorele HDMI to USB C Adapter, which I bought on Amazon), mini HDMI to HDMI coiled cable, short USB-C cable and USB-C cable bundled with glasses. The whole converter and power bank sits in my pocket, and my camera (Nikon Z6 in my case) and glasses are connected there. I also used their Android Nebula app once, to set glasses to never sleep.
This whole thing transformed the way how I and the camera interact a lot. They allow me to see what the camera sees and almost nothing else. This gives me an incredible sense of immersion and it feels like a modern version of focusing cloth. This allows me to use manual lenses like never before, as finally I can focus easily on such a big screen. It takes only a few seconds more to put on glasses and start shooting compared to traditional EVF.
This is seriously exciting for me to be honest.

PS. I’m not affiliated with anything which I mentioned, you can probably use other XR glasses too.

So I assume if I run this I can aim something like leaflet at it for the map tiles?

Any information you have on how production-ready this is would be nice. Things such as performance, stability, max expected clients with a small vps or something.
The guns are on a separate list for an existing protocol. This is just an extention, probably temporary and only applied to DEFCON guests. The point is that the prior attack has chance how the industry views room privacy vs guest safety (liability) for any type illegal activity (even if there's no indication the tools are being used illegally).
Totally agree. Mechanical Memory is everywhere. I don't intend to show this paper as a breakthrough, but the interesting thing here is that the memory stored is 'analog', 'scale independent' (Can be shrunk down), and also re-writable. This is not too different from a Compact Disc and we wrote this paper as we thought its an interesting observation. Besides this system is closer to biological systems than memory storing devices. I don't agree with the news article title as we don't present a working device. There are advantages with memory devices independent of 'electrons' as they can't be affected by electromagnetic fields which is why Discs are still in use for storing data across decades. 'Kitchen sponges can be used for storing memory' kinda would have been more accurate.
Oversharing at the family dinner is something I didn't encounter yet. In contrast having a mobile phone always available oftentimes leads to no conversation at all.

My wife and me are very strict with not touching our phone at during meals with our kids. But the grandparents are the total opposite. They use their phones during meals all the time, killing most conversations with their absence.

I think that the coming generation will be even more mindful in their usage of a phone during real life conversations. At least I hope so.
They totally deserved it.

Those who think running third-party closed-source Windows kernel driver(which parse files distributed from Internet in realtime) are good for the security, they must also accept the consequence.

I'm sick of these so-called security consultants who always insist check lists like installing proprietary close-source binary blob Linux kernel module to the system consists of otherwise mostly free softwares except for hardware drivers and think they did their job, or executives who pays a lot of money to these idiotic so-called security consultants.
What the internet needs is another IPv6, sure.
I like the idea of collaborative curation of quality web sources. I think it's a fundamentally hard problem, but my hunch is that many people do this anyway in some form or another.
So your solution is to keep the whole world hostage to Google so Firefox can still be profitable? (to develop nothing relevant and keep paying the highest salaries for their executives).

But hey Mozilla just announced they are thinking about adding Web Apps to Firefox!
Eh, this isn't actually that bad. It's quite easy, using a jet aircraft, to (via a ballistic trajectory) get into space. Surrounded by reaction mass as you are, the rocket equation isn't nearly so bad. You could conceivably dock with something in orbit, if you had elastic tethers or something to make the acceleration survivable. If you're much lighter than what you're docking with, you won't knock the satellite out of orbit.

Heck, you could even ignore the jet aspect, and go for full rocket. (An ICBM only weighs around 50 tonnes, after all.) Getting the heavy thing into orbit, though, requires proper, multi-stage rockets.
There’s an interesting discussion related to this in this video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Z4oy6mnkyW4
GPUs are almost irrelevant for VFX work at this scale due to the memory requirements. The render nodes used for Interstellar had 156GB of RAM, and a decade later the biggest GPUs still don't have that much memory (unless you count Macs I suppose but the existing software ecosystem is very CUDA-centric).

Small VFX shops do typically render on GPUs nowadays, but the high end is still dominated by CPU rendering.
The ~60k that jQuery adds is not going to matter much. It only matters if you have tons of stuff and a 8M JS bundle. Then you might want to start worrying about this stuff and shaving off stuff. But adding a single ~60k dependency? It doesn't matter, even on slow connections.
