> I always understood "news at 11" to mean that a fuller report of the event that was just briefly introduced would be provided at 11.

That feels like a retcon, for lack of a better word. I'd like to see a clip of "news at 11" being used that way by an anchor in a news broadcast (especially pre-1980).

Edit: I think the term that covers what I'm talking about is folk etymology: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folk_etymology:

> Folk etymology – also known as (generative) popular etymology,[1] analogical reformation, (morphological) reanalysis and etymological reinterpretation[2] – is a change in a word or phrase resulting from the replacement of an unfamiliar form by a more familiar one through popular usage.[3][4][5] The form or the meaning of an archaic, foreign, or otherwise unfamiliar word is reinterpreted as resembling more familiar words or morphemes.

My theory is that:

1) Delayed available of footage due to film technology created the "film at 11" idiom, which became so ubiquitous it was the basis of jokes.

2) "The phrase was used in many TV shows and movies from the 1960s through the 1980s."

3) Film was replaced by video at some point prior to 1980 (guess). The idiom ceased being used in news broadcasts, and became unmoored from its foundations but continued to drift around in popular culture.

4) People ignorant of the origin use "folk etymology" to mis-correct/twist "film at 11" to "news at 11," which fits the pop culture formula.

5) "News at 11" gets repeated all over the internet all the time.
It mentions C++ support; it would seem to me that C++ has very few tail-calls. Consider:

foo()
{
auto a = SomeClassWithADestructor();
return bar(); // This is not a tail-call because the destruction of a happens *after* the call to bar();
}

As others mentioned, this is a fantastic launch.

I'd love to have one permanently teathered to a place of my choise using a fiber-optic+carbon/kevlar thread to hold it in place with data coming down the fiber, and have the camera and pico compute data and radios powered by solar.
I was equally confused by this. I tried everywhere to find what the heck that even meant in this context and discovered that it is apparently a term they invented themselves.

My main gripe with the dev box approach is that a cloud instance with similar compute resources as a developers MacBook is hella expensive. Even ignoring compute, a 1TB ebs volume with equivalent performance to a MacBook will probably cost more than the MacBook every month.
For sure, we'd love to do some launches with some local folks. We've done launches with a few different companies in SF at their offices too, send me an email and we can figure something out: austin@sorcerer.earth
> I grew up in an environment where I was made to feel that if I got a single B+ on a report card nothing good would happen in my life because no colleges would accept me and then I would never get a FAANG job and I would die alone. Internalizing that logic helped me work hard but I also think it made me neurotic and fearful in ways that took a long time to undo. What I believe now is that if you’re creative and willing to work hard there’s a lot of different paths to success.

I wish I knew this at the end of mandatory education.

It's pretty clear there is a large chunk of the population that just doesn't operate well under traditional education and career paths.

For us, it's just a slow, often painful exercise in realising following rules laid out by some institution just doesn't work for us - and most critically: that that is OK! that it doesn't mean you are not capable, or not smart, at most it means you might not be good at jumping through hoops when you have no intrinsic motivation to do so, and at least it shows that education is not designed to work for everyone, it's one size fits all.

... but almost no one tells you this, and so we are destined to waste time and, in some countries huge amounts of money, and psychological pain learning this lesson.

The irony is I now work in ed-tech. But I have some solace in knowing the technology I work on is moving traditional education towards a more individualised experience that might work better for someone like me.

How long are people really supposed to hang out at a corner cafe, bakery, or store? Don't these businesses want turnover? Libraries, rec centers, churches, parks, dance halls, and bars are where people are expected to spend time. Also, although I see little direct of screen time in the full report, large TVs, huge customizable option set, everything streaming on-demand, online shopping, immersive games, addictive internet behavior, etc., it does suggest these are at play, and could account for the hour and forty minutes lost.
I'm not in either country. I am pretty sure people trying to obtain higher social status is universal.

Most of the stats come from media outlets reporting on singular cases, and most of the articles on the subject are op-eds rather than scientific studies. It does seem to be more common, but overall data is unfortunately very hard to come by.

The article has nothing to do with that. It's looking at the development over the past 19 years. This "car centric cities" criticism is beginning to get really old here on HN.
I can't think of any bad book which has had the enduring influence of that by Julian Jaynes. If we've gotten anything out of Derrida it is just how easy it is to get away with making trash like that, much like Carlos Castenada's works of fiction that earned him a PhD in sociology. (... at least people seem to have forgotten Velikovsky completely but boy the word "consciousness" still sucks people in today )
It is definitely on its way down, and it is a good thing.

You may think you can handle C. I disagree. The evidence is on my side. We need safer languages.

Heck, that even overstates it. It's not like we need super-safe languages per se. Maybe the 2070s will disagree with me. But we need languages that aren't grotesquely unsafe. It's not just that C isn't as safe as a language could be; it is that it is recklessly unsafe.

Interrupting that descent is foolishness, and pinning your career to a resurrection in C even more foolish. These technologies always have this meta-meta-contrarian phase to them just before they expire. I got into the computer field just as the meta-meta-contrarian "everything must be written in assembler" phase was at its peak. It was a false resurrection and I pity anyone who overinvested in learning how to write large applications in 100% assembler as a result of reading someone's over-enthusiastic screed about the virtues of writing pure assembler in 1998.

So I write this in the hopes of helping some other young HN reader not be fooled. C may be a thing you learn at some point, some day, just as assembler is still something you may learn. But don't get overexcited about the last meta-meta-contrarian false resurrection before death. Which is still years away, but at this point I think it's pretty much set on an irrevocable course.
I mentioned it elsewhere, but I wonder if these trends in staying home are also true in more walkable areas. Of course the ability to go out is a factor, but suburban sprawl is not a new trend in the US either.
This is awesome, nice work! In case it's useful, I made a Python package for calculating solar irradiance at altitude: https://github.com/gusgordon/airmass

Takes into account lots of stuff (e.g. attenuation from air, ozone, and water vapor) with the goal of estimating solar power at any altitude/latitude/day/time.

I guess I am missing the point, because I don't see the difference between those and "bad" aliens. Which don't exist. It's impossible to relate to your sense of disgust except by contriving that aliens necessarily represent people with different skin color.
Not at all. Look at the growth in human buildings in the most at-risk areas and you’ll see why that number is so big now. It’s only slightly due to an increase in severe weather event frequency / severity.

Well, Yahoo is one of the few e-mail providers that survived the last 25
years. I had e-mails on multiple providers which don't exist since a
long time. That brings another question, how do you even know that the
cloud company will even exist in the next 25 years? I think Yahoo is now
enforcing OAuth authorization. Maybe next step is to remove IMAP? How do
you know that they're not planning it?

The point is that it's impossible to try and predict how the cloud will
look like in the future. One day we can end up receiving an e-mail that
we need to download all data from the cloud because they're ending their
operation. And the future of paper/CDs can be predicted easily.

If anyone's worried about the lifespan of CDs, it's always possible to
copy the collection once every few years.

Also I think that paper could be a viable backup solution, at least for
e.g. family photos -- print, encapsulate, hide in a dark and dry place.
Sounds cool. How does it differ from CBOR?

I'd bet just about anything that Google uses machine learning to decide whether or not to trust a site for ads. It seems like the only solution that would work at a large enough scale to handle that kind of demand (versus more defined but more labor- and resource-intensive malware/fraud detections). I think that also explains why the review process seems so arbitrary and ineffective - in essence, not even Google knows why Google decided your site was bad. I used to help people with hacked websites, but eventually I had to refuse to work on projects where the only symptom was a Google Ads denial because it was such nonsense. In one case a guy completely removed his site and replaced it with a 0-byte page, and even after we saw Google-owned IP addresses doing a crawl in the site access logs, they still told him there was malware (including a list of infected URLs that no longer existed).

If I'm correct, changing your domain might help in that machine learning algorithms consume tons of signals and maybe altering that particular one would push your site under the "bad" threshold. But it might not do anything. It's a super frustrating problem. I hope you can stumble onto a solution or find someone at Google willing to help.
I run Google Ads professionally and this has also happened to me. I was never unable to fix it directly. One time, I had a Wordpress site that Google Ads claimed was a compromised site. I migrated it to a landing page provider (Unbounce), and Google Ads still insisted the site was compromised even though Google's tools said the said was clean.

What I did to fix this was to migrate my landing pages to a new domain. (I believe migrating my landing pages to a different subdomain on the same domain would also work, but I haven't tested this.)

You don't need to run traffic to your full website. All you need is a marketing website to run traffic to. That marketing website doesn't even need database integration, so you can put that marketing website on a totally different server.

So to fix this issue, I wouldn't try to fix it. I'd just create a marketing website somewhere else and direct traffic to that.
> what sort risks are there? The aren’t handling your personal information

The sites themselves disagree with you. They think there's risk, which is why they decided to not work in the EU. EU does not "threaten very high fines" to sites that do not collect PII. GDPR does nothing if you don't collect information. But they obviously do collect it, despite your denial.

This matches a number of the new apartment complexes in my area - no walking trails, amenities, or anything else accessible from the complex itself. Often you can't actually go to _anywhere_ from the complex, as the roads from it don't even have sidewalks.
It is, and I'm curious what dang and HN's plan is wrt this issue going forward. On one hand, the "assume good faith" has been a core tenet of this community. At the same time, LLM-generated walls of text aren't good faith. And they're not going to get less common from here on out.

I'm also surprised by how many human replies these comments get, seemingly unaware what they're responding to, given that it's HN and how long it's been since the release of GPT-3, I thought a larger percentage of readers would notice.
Show HN: Houdini by WhoDB – connect any data source to natural language
Hello Fellow Hackers!

I am Hemang - CEO of Clidey WhoDB.

We’ve just added a new feature to WhoDB that allows you to interact with your data using natural language. Instead of writing SQL queries, you can now just ask questions, and WhoDB will do the heavy lifting. We hope this makes data management a bit easier for everyone, whether you’re just starting out or have been working with databases for years.

We didn’t integrate AI just because it’s trendy; we genuinely think it improves the user experience. By using large language models, we’ve aimed to make data management more intuitive. WhoDB is still open-source and driven by community feedback, so your thoughts and suggestions are really important to us.

If you’re curious, you can check out a demo video or try it out with a quick Docker command:

docker run -it -p 8080:8080 clidey/whodb.

We’d appreciate hearing your feedback.

I think there's a been a substantial change in the kinds of suburban developments. I grew up in suburbia but it was still significantly more walkable than the sorts of developments I see today, especially in areas where housing is cheap and they're building a lot.

My suburb growing up was grid based and you could bike to the grocery store. The part of Portland I live in is technically a suburb (started out that way, but eventually merged into the core). However, based off of historical records, the basic pattern of businesses has remained the same, so even when it was fully suburban, you could always walk to the park , coffee shop, bakery (some have even been here the full 100 years or so the neighborhood's been around).

Whereas, due to zoning and HOAs, I just can't see where those would possibly develop in the example I gave above. It's illegal.

I'm not an expert by any means, but I feel the pattern changed sometime in the 90s and aughts.
Reading through comments I saw a lot of comments confusing cloud security with electrical safety of a system. Electrical protections are completely separate from communication line/ internet, has to be hard wired. As the size of plant/substation increases the automation and control system (again completely different thing from electrical protection) has its own internet system. Burning down substation, exploding transformer through solar panel is very very unrealistic.

On top of that PVs installed at homes are insignificant to cause such troubles. As the size of installation increases, you will have different connection agreement and certain requirements. You can't install 15 MW and connect through inverters that are used at home, which is 100 kW at most. Even 15 MW is insignificant change for a grid.
What new energy? We have had C89, C99, C11, C17, C23

And yet, no fix in sight for proper strings, arrays, or at very least bounds checked slices, like Dennis Ritchie originally proposed to ANSI/ISO.
You're not looking for different fiber really. You're looking for different transceivers.

There are fiber ethernet transceivers for all the ethernet speeds, I've seem them for 10M, 100M, 1G, 10G, all the Gs.

I feel like SFP (1G) is the sweet spot for cost and applicability right now, you can pick up a media coverter with one port rj45 and one port sfp for $20 from a reputable (consumer) brand, and SFP transcievers aren't too expensive. Switched with a bunch of 1g rj45 and one or two sfp are also inexpensive new and lots of inexpensive old enterprise gear at those speeds too.

For 100M (fast ethernet), I don't know if you'll have many options other than old old used enterprise equipment.
It's 50 if you are upgrading from an older model since you have most of the components already.

What about hanging out in your front yard? Corner bakeries, cafes, etc give you a place to go with your friend, not necesarily a place to lounge (although some are okay with that too). Lots of people don't care and like the crowd because it makes it seem popular. Very common with little coffee shops. For our local shop, I know the owner and the family, and while I wouldn't presume to go in there and not order anything, I also doubt they'd really care if I didn't continuously order.
Its interesting that they focus only on the last 20 years. I'd really be more curious to see how that compares to a much longer timeline. How much time did people spend at home a hundred years ago? Or a thousand years ago?
Theres been some pilot programs to process food waste from grocery stories, except its having a hard time.

1. Gas prices to transport the scraps, collecting at the store, hauling to the manufacturing.

2. Stores saved money but then wanted to charge for their waste.

3. Expensive regulations, its creating liquid fertilizer, and theres multiple issues at the city/state/federal levels.

4. Not every store has room outside for a large box container sitting outside, and they can smell. Also hot/cold weather issues.

5. Many stores have employees who dump garbage into the food waste.
Yes, p.v. have opened the way for semi-autonomy depending on where you live BUT ruling class really dislike this, they want slave not Citizens and tie people to service it's a very good way of making slaves who can't revolt.

That's why instead of pushing self consumption and semi-autonomous systems we push grid-tied and cloud-ties crap, to be tied to someone else service, slave of that. It's the "in 2030 you'll own nothing" already a reality in modern cars, connected to the OEM with a much higher access than the formal owner, much modern IoT and cloud+mobile crap. People do not even understand they do now own, until it's too late.

Another simple example: in most of the world banks between them have open standard to automatic exchange transaction, in EU that's OpenBank APIs, with signed XML and JSON feeds. There is NO REASON to block customers for directly use such APIs from a personal desktop client. All banks I know block such usage. So you do not have all your transactions signed by the bank on your iron, you have NOTHING in hand. In case of "serious issues" you have nothing to prove what you have on your bank, what you have done with your money. In the past we have had paper stuff to prove, we now have signed XML/JSON witch is even better than paper being much harder to falsify, but no, we miss because 99% must own nothing.

We have connected cars with a SIM inside, but instead of having the car offering APIs and a client or perhaps even a WebUI, directly to their formal owner we have to pass through their OEM, the real substantial owner. And we can't even disconnect the car. In the EU it's even illegal for new car to be disconnected since the emergency e-call service must be active on all new cars.

And so on.
Cloud storage is basically destroyed the market impetus for long-term durable digital storage.

The premise of the article basically is that, because you certainly cannot trust cloud companies to keep your data.

It used to be your only real guarantee of them keeping your data is the fact that exponentially growing storage solutions would make your previous data a pittance compared to newer storage solution capacity.

But I think that's going to come to an end, much like the inevitable end of die shrinks.
it's incredibly hard to implement a data diode for PV systems, enemy satellites can modulate light (like a TV remote, but lower baudrate to stay below the noise floor) and an inverter could decode it and respond accordingly.

They measure the PV panels anyway for MPPT.

I think that unfortunately there are just a larger number of assholes than we would like to believe, and they particularly manifest when playing video games. Playing video games is something people due for a release, and what they are releasing isn't always pleasant. For every person that openly acts like a asshole out in public there are at least 2 secret assholes who understand the society expects them to be on their best behavior, but once they are anonymous then the vitriol can flow freely.

With that said I think the percentage of assholes by percentage of population is always going to be higher in video games with voice chat simply because it becomes a outlet for a certain type of person.
