Scams and bad actors haven't changed sadly.

But zk-based really decentralized consensus now does 400 tps and it's extraordinary when you think about it and all the safety and security properties it brings.

And that's with proof-of-stake of course with decentralized sequencers for L2.

But I get that people here prefer centralized databases, managed by admins and censorship-empowering platforms. Your bank stack looks like it's designed for fraud too. Manual operations and months-long audits with errors, but that is by design.
Thanks everyone for all the downvotes.
Most of that, including remote access, comes from HomeKit or Google Home.

I get that this ia an alpha but yeah going back to arc feels much smoother
there has been an unfortunate "phase shift" since 1970 in the nuclear energy industry/ecosystem, mostly because the risk engineering principle/mandate called ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable), and of course reasonable does not mean profitable. (which makes sense, we want safe reactors not just "there was a safety budget, and we spent all of it" >>safe<< ones, right? sure, but the real world is stubbornly full of cost-benefit trade-offs, and apparently we crossed it somewhere during the 70s.)

"[...] far more prone to incompatibilities with users WiFi configurations [...]" <- Exactly this! With my Unifi gear, all the configurations that had to be tried out and tested were driving me crazy. From Multicast Filtering (IGMP Snooping), Multicast Enhancment (IGMPv3), Broadcast Contols, mDNS to even the fucking Spanning Tree Protocol on the Switches (STP vs RSTP). How is this plug and play? How are other users even getting anything to work when it comes to multi room and speakers being on seperate APs?!
Well, it is hard to change a company from the oral/meeting-driven style to an async writing-based culture and a fear even the best resource won't really help with that. But since you've asked also on an indiviual level, I found some nuggets on technical writing in https://jamesg.blog/2024/01/03/software-technical-writing/ - certainly way better than a SEOed listicle
I'd probably prefer to get cheaper power here in Australia, but whatever - no decisions are ever made here to benefit the Australian people - it's always to help some vested interest or corporate interest or foreign interest or donor to the politicians.

So presumably this whole bit of climate theater has a lovely feel good story.

I was thinking exactly the same. But then war came to my home in Kiev.

Problem is, no matter how deep are your philosophical thoughts on arms and peace, there are countries that just want to kill you, plain and simple.

In order to have the ability to continue being concerned on the spending on mass killing, you have to be ready to physically defend your favorite Starbucks.
I agree! No one wants to review unnecessary stylistic changes.

Show HN: I made a free online service exposing Queue REST API
Initially created it for my domotics devices cross-messaging, i made a free online service providing queue storage and REST APIs for secure, global enqueuing and dequeuing of string-based items. This centralized system is accessible worldwide, making it ideal for prototyping, home automation, IoT signal handling, small business order management, and more.
The service is free and requires that you register with an email to have 3 queues with unlimited traffic. There are some quotas and some rate-limiting, explained in the website. Still need to add the cookies policy dialog, although the only cookies used are for the user login session and storing ui-related structures.
> Science Fiction has a long history of exploring the political climate of the day by extrapolating from the current period. Frankenstein is a good classic example…

I would like to know your reasons for thinking this. I see Frankenstein as something far more perverse. Mary Shelly wrote it after the traumatic loss of her child in childbirth. Knowing this, it is hard to understand the novel as anything other than a speculation: ‘if men could make life, what form would that life-giving take?’
Speed, tall and blunt hoods, and the piss poor visibility all affect how dangerous a vehicle is. That is why I singled out pickup trucks; not that they are the only problematic motor vehicle on the roads nowadays.

Yes of course. But it's not so useful since the buses are so big and they arrive so infrequently. With robobuses you could have smaller more frequent arrivals and then have higher probability of skipping. If the robobus understands the bus stop person's gestures that are they trying to stop it or not...

there's probably truth to that, but I find it's useful at a more micro-level. I don't tell the llm to write an architecture or a big piece. It's more like, I have this data in this shape, I want a function that gives data out that shape and it will spit something pretty good and idiomatic. I read it, understand it and implement it. Need to be careful with blind copy-paste, there are sometimes subtle bugs in the code.

It's specially useful when learning new frameworks, languages, etc. To me this is all applicable regardless of domain as the micro-level patterns tend to be variations of things that have been seen. I suspect if you try to load it with a lot of very specific high level domain logic, there are more chances of taking the llm out of its comfort zone.
I feel miserable as I only check 4 or 5 criterions over 8000.
Power has shifted - what the publishers provided was the infrastructure to publish - designing, manufacturing physical journals, marketing and distributing them.

With the shift to online, the barrier to entry is much lower.

There is still a role as a curator, with the an ability to garner attention ( and because the publishing barrier is lower, this has become more important ) - in a similar way to a radio DJ, but unlike music there is no need for a monetarisation platform from an authors perspective.
I wonder how many people are missing out because there is no friend or SO that really push and supports.

OP completely missed the point of toasts. Some user actions can be

1) done accidentally

2) don't lend themselves to confirmation boxes because they are often also done repeatedly

So if you accidentally press something and suddenly the email is gone from your inbox, you want a toast with an undo button. Or if you're just idling and you suddenly see a toast because you were leaning on a button, you'll be glad it's there too. Preferably with a description of what action was performed, and an undo button.

In Gimp when you press Tab, it hides the whole UI with no way to go back if you don't know the shortcut. This is desirable for artists who want a focused view on their image. I can't tell you how much I would've liked a Toast with an "undo" button at that moment when I pressed it accidentally and had to google "gimp how to fix interface disappeared", and if I was computer illiterate I don't even know how I would have reacted.

> Most modern console emulator are the later one because how the modern console work is similar to how the PC work. It have an OS kernel and a user-mode libraries for applications.

And additionally because the past couple of console generations have had x86-64 CPUs, there's no need to do full instruction translation/emulation—something like Wine would suffice.
As a ukrainian, this makes me want to puke. We, Ukraine, had the historical chance to become a leading world manufacturer of practical and cheap military tech.

We have the vast engineering talent. We have the institutional memory. We have the need. We have the motivation. The government would want to purchase this.

We did produce exactly zero technology.

This, guys, is what corruption does to a state. It's a cancer that paralyzes the society even in face of immediate deadly threat.

So, my best wishes for Ares Industries and I mean it from the depth of my heart. Please produce this cruise missile and I sincerely hope we will never have to use it.
Hey there! I'm launching one of my tools here. It's a Bulk PDF Image Extractor. Give it a try!

It's 100% privacy-friendly, meaning your images don't go to any server to extract images from PDF. Everything happens on your device.

All other tools out there keep a copy of your PDFs on their server while processing. You can't be 100% sure that your PDFs will be deleted afterwards.

But if you use this tool, I guarantee that your PDFs never leave your computer. They stay on your device and are processed there. Hence, it's 100% privacy-friendly. Plus, it's free!

Phrack's tendency toward the edgy sentiment aside, I sort of understand it. Sort of.

I grew up in the era of BBSs, microcomputers giving way to full desktops in the US and payphones we're still slightly interesting. though phreaking was sadly in its final days. I also had (and have) severe social anxiety, but had no idea what that was at the time. I just knew I did not understand the world or people much at all, seeing them as sloppy systems that seemed to operate without any predictable set of rules aside from maybe self-preservation and immediate gratification.

So when I started taking apart computers, futzing with software and seeing what made the beige boxes tick, I found I could understand those with far more clarity. I also found other people like me in the message boards and a local library. Naturally, this became my world, because I knew how to navigate it better than people who had little interest in using a computer for anything beyond homework or accounting.

It really felt like there was this whole reality that sat on top of the "common" reality and I had ascended to it with some silly notion of secret knowledge. You can image how addicting that would feel to someone who does not do well social and felt very, very outcast as a kid.

I guess the difference between myself and a lot of Phrack authors, whom I still very much respect for laying the paving stones that I got to walk on, is that as I got older, I dealt with my anxiety and found that my genuine curiosity was more of an asset to enriching myself than a key to the door of some secret counter-culture. Hacking, colloquially speaking, went mainstream and sort of left me in the dust, having become impossible for any one person to keep up with the flood of new methods, exploits, etc as the Internet exploded and suddenly everyone had computers in some form or another.

I moved on, more or less. Yes, I still tinker, as a hobby and a form of therapy, but mostly with old computers and industrial machines, since that's part of my adult career, but I miss that feeling of being part of some counter-culture-like group, whether it was real or not.

I can totally see where it would be hard to let go of that. Heck, I'd post that some of the Phrack authors have no business letting go of it since they helped define that whole world and need to keep it alive. I say let them be edgy. I have trouble with that, myself, but I respect it.

Sorry, this turned into a "Hacker Perspective" 2600 article, I guess.
If I’ve ever seen an article that needs a tldr, this is it.

Just because we’re both hackers, doesn’t mean you can call on me. I don’t care about all your handles or what you think hacking should be, get to the point and stop wasting my time.
> I would have guessed there must be enough domestic customers or in Indonesia that would make more sense.

Australia is a big place. The northern tip of Australia, where this project is based, isn't really that much further from Singapore than from the Australian population centres in the South East of the continent.

Indonesia is much poorer than Singapore, and has awfully inefficient bureaucracy and regulatory environment.
So you’re suggesting all innovation/new functionality releases are paused because US has elections coming up? I find that hard to believe.
The South East of the country has some decent sized metro areas that aren't too far away from each other.
“[Element XY] is bad UX” is a nonsense and a misunderstanding what UX is. The particular YouTube example is indeed a poor use and poor implementation of toasts. You can find poor examples of pretty much any element on plenty of high profile websites. The element itself is rarely the culprit. The whole point of UX is the context and the flow in which each particular element lives.

Ah, FreeBSD always felt a little more smooth in subtle ways on Intel hardware. Hopefully that will change now.
At TU delft, I was supposed to do my PhD in semantic web especially in the shipping logistics. It was funded by port of Rotterdam 10 years ago. Idea was to theorize and build various concepts around discrete data sharing, data discovery, classification, building ontology, query optimizations, automation and similar usecases. I decided not to pursue phd a month into it.

I believe in semantic web. The biggest problem is that, due to lack of tooling and ease of use, it take alot of effort and time to see value in building something like that across various parties etc. You dont see the value right away.
> If anything, we've grown far too isolated in our genres-within-genres, our multi-tracks, our insistence on our own favorite topics, excluding all others. It's time for people who love this stuff to get back to reading all across the field of science fiction and fantasy and appreciating all the branches for what they are: some for the young, some for the older reader, some for the engineers and some for the history buffs. So you don't care for something? Be patient. Isolation of the interest-groups and age-levels within the community is a vile trend, in my humble opinion, and multitracking panels at conventions has not helped the isolation: it's increased it. Too many critics and not enough general gosh-wow.

If I can ask for anything in the sf community it's for readers deliberately to read things that stretch the limits of their preferences...stretch them until they feel them creak and shift and break wider. That's what books should do.

Still it does not sit right with me - it might work, but figuring out the math with fixed point is not that hard, just requires some sitting down and thinking about it.

It's like I have some light fixtures in my attic that are connected with wires twisted together and covered with electrical tape - they certainly work and have done for a decade, but its still not right and I wouldn't recommend anyone do it this way.
Why has nuclear power been a flop? (2021)

This is already in the works and secured financing recently. It’s a smaller link but it’s a start. Also Tunisia trade electricity with Libya and Algeria; so technically they could be selling electricity to Europe through that link.
Its actually hilarious that your argument is 'its not my feelings' they are my 'anecdotes' as if that was better.

Have you actually read books about this time period? Where they actually look at these companies, and how much money they make? What the problems were that they had? Did you go back and read about the larger trends that were happening?

Because from everything you are arguing you clearly haven't. You have some memories of this time and you think all that need to understand the world.

And again, you haven't made a single argument about what that I actually said was FACTUALLY wrong. If I got any facts wrong, please tell me what I got wrong.

I even pointed out that NeXT was culturally important and how that doesn't magically result in a fantastic growth company. It seems you can't see beyond that cultural impact.
The carrot and the stick cannot increase indefinitely. It doesn't matter how much money you lose once it's more than everything you have, and it doesn't matter how much you gain if it's enough to get everything you want except for what you're trading away.
Nuclear is held to a much higher safety standard (eg in terms of deaths per Joule) than any other form of electricity production. And that includes photovoltaic!

Nuclear is so safe--even fully factoring in the accident at Chernobyl--that people very occasionally falling off rooftops when installing solar panels is a bigger health hazard per Joule produced.
I've playing with RSS feeds recently, suddently it occured to me, XML can be transformed into anything with XSL, for static hosting personal blogs, I can save articles into the feeds directly, then serve frontend single-page application with some static XSLT+js.

I think if you're new to emulation it's generally a good idea to start with something even simpler - the chip-8 system

http://www.emulator101.com/introduction-to-chip-8.html

An average programmer can probably get an emulator for that running in a weekend, and there are lots of guides and documetnation out there for the opcodes and similar.

NES / Gameboy / GameGear / similar are probably well-documented, but they will be harder at least because the processors have more opcodes you have to care about.

For that, you'd need to make massive investments in a part of that world that has mostly untouched nature.

It might or might not be a good idea. But you need to then compare those massive investments to the relatively modest investment of the power cable to bring the electricity to a part of that world that already has all the other infrastructure needed, and also already has lots of water.
Anyway, kill the DST with fire.
Land will never become the limiting factor on earth, at least not for solar power.

Not sure how a 4200km cable is more secure than a few gas tanks. I am actually surprised they’d go with this as it’s impossible to monitor the whole range of the cable.

Those wiki has some incorrect information. How shadPS4 and fpPS4 works are the same. Almost of them can be categorized as a compatibility layer. The only one that can be called a PS4 emulator is Orbital because it virtualize (and emulate) the PS4 hardwares.

It seems that the operator is expected to sometimes make very small adjustments to the throttle level, going by what looks like clickable arrows. I wonder why they didn't locate the UI elements corresponding to throttle indicators butting right up against each other, with a Vernier scale on them, to make misalignments quantifiable and more obvious.

Not that it would have helped in this case, but maybe the scale can be magnified and change colour when there is misalignment, which would have been possibly slightly more obvious? I don't know.
