I’m running Talos locally and run into basically none of these issues — use one of the provided storage providers, dump a container into it, bing bang boom you’re done.
Backdoor, bugdoor or or "convenient" bug... you can spot in the source code...

Now, have a look at machine code which is spit out by compilers... and there, right there... no bug or backdoor in the source code though, but yet... how would you call that? compiler-injected-door?

To fight this you just need to trust and audit those small pieces of s..oftware which are gcc/clang(llvm).
Ironic then, that moderators who work for free get the brunt of the blame when a lot of issues stem from the platform itself.

Management and SWEs being paid very comfortable salaries to build critical features like... an online indicator, or products that just get shut down after a year because they never bothered interfacing with the community and focusing on a better user experience.

Or, as it's better known, resume driven development.
Under its past owner Evidon, their business model was based on selling data to advertisers.

Starting 2018, they showed personalized ads by themselves, through the GhosteryRewards program. I think that has since been terminated, but it would comply with the FAQ you posted (they claimed that personalization was purely on-device).

I don’t know of any current offending practices, but there is no reason to trust or support this enterprise in the presence of better alternatives. uBlock Origin never did any of that, avoids all shadow of conflict of interest, and works better.

Surprised anyone is developing against reddit as a platform at all. Relying on a platform in general is risky...but Reddit?!?

It has a single redeeming feature - network effects on good user conent. That's it...literally everything else about it is a dumpsterfire, including how they treat devs.
Fine, just have local authority numbers then which halved from 175k in the decade before thatcher was elected, let alone had any chance to implement policy.

when porn advanced the internet did it cost 2000 dollars to get entry to the porn? I don't remember that. I think when this advancing happened it was pretty cheap, in some ways cheaper than buying a bunch of magazines.

Porn advanced the internet because it was a cheaper delivery mechanism for a cheap commodity, games expanded the internet because it was a technologically innovative platform for high end products.
I've been banned more times from Reddit than I can count. Reddit used to be good, but now it seems to be destroying itself on purpose (or maybe for bribe money). Just give up on it. All the good information is in the pre-2023 archives anyway.
Why would moving require a new provider/number? Are plans/numbers not portable in Europe?

In the USA, the number reflects the area it was issued. So my phone number matches suburban DC. If I move to California, everybody would know I lived in DC in the past. Kind of odd, I guess, but is a leftover from when cell homes didn’t exist and then when numbers weren’t portable across providers.
> altruistic billionaires finance more discussion forums that don’t exist to be profitable, at least not directly.

A certain person tried that, but HN has given them nothing but hate over it.

If there’s a specific idea you or others had in mind that was different, I haven’t seen any serious proposals or roadmaps posted. I’d love to see it though, I’d rather things be more decentralized without the contemporary gatekeeping that comes with it.

Also I’m not sure what you had in mind for altruistic. There’s a difference between financing people’s nostalgia fetishes and financing the repairing of society, but either could be squeezed into the definition.
I think porn prefers open tooling so that it is less likely to be banned. Going inside Apple's walled garden is probably more risky in that regard and also there's only a small consumer base.

There are plenty of VR apps in this category available for PC-connected headsets. You can find tons of them on Steam or Patreon.

I was curious to see this simulation running but there does not seem to be a running demo.

I don't know if this is your creation or not, but I would really recommend having a running demo before publicizing work. It is a sad reality in software that, no matter how much time and artistry is placed into a work, it needs to be rapidly consumable for it to be properly shared.

Speaking for myself, I have a backlog of at least 50 projects, with at least 5 I jump around actively, while learning foreign languages, hiking, and living life. As much as I want to see a slime mold simulation, if it doesn't run when I check the repo with a demo link that functions on my phone, my curiosity will have to end there.

5 minute later: alright so my curiosity didn't end. It looks like the project is using 'just' for command running (for those unfamiliar, https://github.com/casey/just). It isn't my preferred way to do things but you probably have it already like I do.

20 minutes later: alright so after cloning the repo and running "just demo 512x512" (it needs a resolution), it doesn't run. It uses assert statements so the application crashes when it fails assertions. We are in trouble because it doesn't gracefully select a texture format. I printed what my gpu supports and tried to find a best match.

After that, it doesn't support the requested blend mode, so I switched it to one that my gpu supports.

When making a gpu app, make sure to adapt based upon the capabilities a GPU supports. It isn't much harder to do this, while making it significantly more accessible for anyone using it -- even for fun or experimenting.

While it runs, it doesn't do anything -- likely because it isn't running with the expected texture format and blend modes.

Unfortunately, while I really want to see a slime mold simulation, I have to stop now before I refactor this entire project and make it consumable for anyone curious. Then I will have a working "slime mold simulation" at the end of the day, and I am not sure how helpful that would be to anyone, including myself.
I LOVE LM studio, it's super convenient for testing model capabilities, and the OpenAI server makes it really easy to spin up a server and test. My typical process is to load it up in LM studio, test it, and when I'm happy with the settings, move to vllm.

> I think that's well below the threshold people would care.

People don’t even pay 0.99$ for apps they use all day every day, opting instead to suffer through ads and have their batteries drained. There’s no chance they’d pay 0.01$ per message.

For the vast majority, there are two price points: free and not free. The psychological difference between free and 0.01$ is magnitudes larger than the difference between 0.01$ and 1$.

If you have that kind of requirements, budget and setup, why wouldn't you just invest in a camera with a native MP that is closer to what you need?

Right tool for the job and all that..

And I'll tell you, I did test this. I set up ideal conditions in my home studio with a tripod, good lights and - short of ground tremors - zero movement, and the results still weren't that usable.

Comparing the 100MP image to a 25MP version, you really couldn't see that much more detail, and when you zoomed in on the 100MP image, imperfections were quickly visible.

I mean, this sounds like the true cost of being insanely bone-headed. And in some sense nuclear lets you be bone-headed in novel ways, which is a risk, but being this irresponsible is not a necessary condition.

> The mine near Wolfenbüttel in Lower Saxony is the perfect example of how a final storage facility for nuclear waste should not be built.

> Between 1967 and 1978, around 126,000 metal barrels containing low and medium-level radioactive waste were stored in the former salt mine. They contained contaminated laboratory waste, construction rubble and scrap metal, mainly from nuclear power plant use. Officially, it was an "experimental mine" in which the long-term storage of radioactive material was only to be tested. In fact, many of the barrels were simply dumped into the emptied salt chambers.

> The Asse became a problem in 1988. At that time, the operator at the time discovered that water was penetrating the mine. To date, 350 active and now dry areas have been found. The water is collected and brought to the surface - an average of 12.5 cubic meters per day. Without this work, the mine would flood. Recovering the waste, as decided by the Bundestag in 2013, would be impossible.

U.S. Accuses RealPage of Enabling Collusion on Rents in Antitrust Suit
> This so called “sweet spot” comes at the cost of billions of dollars in operating losses and layoffs at Reality Labs year after year

Yes, it has cost them billions of dollars (ongoing) to develop their AR/VR tech. You can definitely criticize that, but this spending is defensive. If Facebook (Meta) doesn't own at least some market share in a future device, that is an existential threat to them. How much did ATT cost Facebook? [1] Answer: north of $10 billion in 2022. But note: it's actually a reduction in Facebook's revenue by that amount, so in the fullness of time, the total damage is much worse.

> Ray-Ban

Facebook has multiple form factors. They have VR quest (3). They have AR glasses. I don't expect Ray-Ban to capture Facebook/Google's margin here, and Facebook would be able to build first party AR glasses if they wanted. You use Ray-Ban to sell v1 and then you make v2 good enough that it sells itself.

All of this seems tangential to my complaint that I would love an incredibly high res and reasonably hackable VR screen.

On the topic of network settings, in Windows 11, the Settings app and Control Panel can actually end up conflicting if you mess with both.

A while back I was messing with IPv6, trying to get it to work my desktop the way I wanted it to, and ended up in a situation where I needed to change both settings that existed only in the new Settings app and settings that existed only in Control Panel, and after a while the Settings app just started throwing an error when trying to save IP settings. The entire thing is a mess.
News isn't just biased. Modern technology gives us the power to get news from the source. In the past, a reporter would report on something that happened to a person. Today, that person can just post what happened to them on Twitter. Where do you think journos get their information from? The only reason to have another layer is to curate, decipher, and explain the raw information. That means applying bias. In fact it means news is bias in today's world, which is fine if you're aligned with the person doing it. For example, internal newsletters at companies are a great source of information, because your interests are intertwined. But you might not necessarily feel that way when it comes to media organizations that are mouthpieces of the state. Algorithms like Twitter are a much better system, because the worst bias they can inject is curation. They can't do spin and they can't assign meaning. At least not if you're only looking at the raw feeds. If you limit it to "Following" then it can't curate either, so the platform is capable of providing a small corner we can choose to be in that has zero bias other than your own.
I’m pretty sure all modern fast AF systems have computer vision in their control loop.
> what I don’t understand is why anyone really wants to use Windows in 2024.

Because I'm Windows power user (30+ years of experience) and novice on MacOS and Linux? Doesn't that count for something? It's not that alternative OSes are terrible, they're just terrible for me. I use shortcuts without thinking, I use TotalCommander all the time and no, there are no 100% replacements that I can just install and continue using with all shortcuts I'm used to. I use Home/End/PgDown/PgUp all the time, and not only that MacBook doesn't have these, it doesn't even have Delete key (opposite of backspace), which I find mind-boggling.

Sorry about little rant. I'm sure people are very productive using MacOS or Linux. But I'm super productive on Windows, everything just flies without thinking. Oh, btw. I'm typing this on MacBook which is a wonderful piece of hardware, and I use it a lot, but even after a year I feel like my hands are tied behind my back when working on it.

I think it's ok for a guy to have his preferences without been judged by his fellow developers. I though we're behind judging for personal preferences in 2024?

Assuming that the rules enumerated at that link are the complete rules, I have a Japanese bread knife that I use every day for its exquisite sharpness, and which would become forbidden by these rules.

The reason is that it has a 9-inch serrated blade, which is a very frequently encountered size for bread knives, and the angle at the tip of the blade is slightly smaller than the 90 degree angle mandated by the new rules.

The slightly acute blade tip is very handy when cutting some big hard vegetables, like water melons or pumpkins, or some very big breads, which have a diameter greater than the 9-inch blade length.

The rules as written on that site are ambiguous, because they could be also interpreted as only forbidding the 2-edged blades, where one edge is plain and one edge is serrated (a kind of knife that I have never seen). However this interpretation of the rules is contradicted by "other than a serrated cutting edge of up to two inches next to the handle", which is a typical feature of single-edged blades and which would not make sense on a 2-edged blade.

The rules still allow the possession of a fighting/utility knife, like the classic KA-BAR, whose blade is only 7-in long and which has a small serrated edge that satisfies the rules.

> This is really no different from any other language.

There are languages with big standard libraries and first party frameworks.

I can build a complex web app in C# using only packages published by Microsoft in ASP.NET and EF.

Python ships with a lot of "batteries included".

Not saying I expect that from rust considering the funding/team size discrepancy and language targets - but I disagree that every language is same in this regard - JS/Node is notoriously bad, Rust is around C++ level, and plenty of higher level languages have first pary/standard library stacks.
Don't be ridiculous. To the nearest 9 decimal points, nobody keeps their mission critical database inside Kubernetes, and the K8s tax is excessive for essentially all cloud users anyway.

Roast My Startup Idea
Hi everyone, as the title suggests I’d like you all to roast my idea in order for me to get a better understanding of the problem as well as the solution.

I recently finished my second year at university and realised a lot of jobs/internships require a portfolio or personal projects - I know realised a bit too late ):. All my experience with projects was through tutorials, so I felt a bit lost on where to start with actual projects as I was stuck in “tutorial hell”. After talking to some friends, I found out many people feel the same way.

This got me thinking: what if there was a platform for project-based learning in coding? Like LeetCode, but for real-world projects across various tech domains (web dev, app dev, AI, cloud, etc.). You could pick a project, follow a structured set of instructions with checklists (no solutions like YouTube tutorials, will require you to problem solve read and research but obvs get hints and help), get feedback and review, add it to your portfolio all in one place. Content would be community-driven, with devs contributing projects for a fee. What do you think? Would this be helpful?

You might ask how is this different to freeCodeCamp or Codecademy? The platform will not only provide a specific curriculum to follow, it will give the user the freedom to choose any project using any tech stack, complete in a fun and interactive way, get feedback on their work, and add it to their portfolio. As I mentioned, think of it as LeetCode but for projects, but obvs a bit different to LeetCode (:

TL;DR: Thinking of a project-based learning platform for coding, like LeetCode but for building real-world projects. Would you use it?

Would love to hear your thoughts!
This would be way more helpful if browsers all supported extending built-in elements and inheriting accessibility features.

For example, if `class DropdownMenu extends HTMLSelectElement` worked, you could have full control of styling and functionality without having to recreate all the a11y support baked into `<select>`. As it stands today, this will be treated as a div and its all on you to make it accessible.

This is what I use when I want the "common entry points" to a project, but don't need all the "make weirdness". It makes it very easy to essentially create a project-specific CLI, and has a bunch of features to make THAT use case much easier.
A few points in terms of context.

1. The original paper in Japanese claim to use only 4 mirrors to achieve the same results. Although this story only mentions >the EUV equipment’s optical system is greatly simplified

1. Japan isn't new to lithography. Both Canon and Nikon are in the market as well and eventually gave on EUV research and focuses on DUV.

2. Power consumption is reduced by a factor of ten is extremely important as modern EUV, and future High-NA EUV are insanely power hungry, with 30%+ of the raw cost of chip manufacturing goes to energy usage alone. And this isn't just TSMC but also NAND and DRAM maker as well.

3. ASML has something similar in the work as well. Although not to any extreme as factor of 10. But then they also dont need these sort of claim to get funding as the one here does.

HTTPie creator here. Just a clarification: HTTPie is still under the same management, and the CLI doesn’t have any telemetry. Little Snitch is probably warning you about requests to packages.httpie.io/latest.json [0]. That is done to let you know when a new version becomes available. It’s a static file hosted through GitHub pages [1] without any tracking. However, there’s currently a bug [2] that prevents the response from getting cached so that the request fires frequently for some users. It’s already fixed in a PR [3] and will be part of the upcoming release.

JPEG XL has many compression modes inside, and the lossless JPEG roundtrip works only for one of them that was specifically designed to hold old JPEG's data. You can't take an arbitrary JXL file and turn it into a JPEG without lossy recompression.

The old-JPEG-preserving compression mode also isn't the best that JXL can do. It's better than the old JPEG, but not as good as JXL using all the new bells and whistles.
