Hey there,

I'm the co-creator of socra, a platform where people and AI collaborate to turn ideas into reality.

We're currently testing and improving our platform before we launch next month.

If you have an idea you’re trying to pursue and would like to be an early adopter and help us test, this is for you:

Steps to Participate:

1. Have an idea you’re passionate about and want to make significant progress by the end of the week.

2. Join us at beta.socra.com.

3. If you're working with a team, invite them to join (you can work together on socra).

4. Commit to using only socra to work on your idea. The reason is that socra is an all-in-one productivity platform with multiple AI entities and we want to measure how effective we're at having everything you need.

5. If you need to use another tool to work on your idea (e.g., Slack, Notion, Jira, Trello, Google Drive, Apple Notes, ChatGPT, Claude, etc.), let us know which tool you needed and why.

6. Say hi and share your progress, feedback, and challenges on this public space: https://beta.socra.com/s/AZGJ8CLXz3TMq-EaCSfWpA

7. Tag @ed (that’s me!) on the space above if you need any help!

See you at beta.socra.com!
I can't tell why it works, but I can talk about some general things I see.

First, I assume the problem is that, when viewed on mobile, this website is wider than the screen. (Or wider than the browser window.) This makes some horizontal scrolling necessary in order to read some of the text.

No matter how narrow I make the browser window on a desktop, the same problem never occurs, so at first glance this looks like a bug in the mobile browser (which for me is Firefox Focus).

The `box-sizing` CSS property determines whether you want the size of an element to be set to the value you specify, or to something else. You might ask "why would I want something else?", and that's a good question.

Anyway, `box-sizing: border-box` means that when you set the width of the element, it won't be any wider than the width that you set. The default value of this setting is `content-box`, which means that the "content" of the element won't be any wider than the width you set, but, if the element itself uses any padding or borders, those don't count toward the width and the element will be wider than you said it should be.

I assume the adjustment to `max-width` is intended to do two things:

(1) prevent the width of the element from exceeding 100%, presumably related to the width of the browser window;

(2) otherwise, raise the previous maximum by 64px, to adjust for the fact that padding is now included in the notional width of the element. There was probably 64px worth of padding originally.

The problems I see in my own analysis are:

(a) We're only adjusting the `max-width` property, which means that if an element wants to be narrower for other reasons, such as the width of the browser window, that was always allowed. It's not clear to me why this wouldn't have been happening in the page as delivered.

(b) As I mentioned above, the problem that occurs on mobile does not ever occur on desktop, no matter how narrow the browser window gets. This suggests that it isn't a problem with the CSS, but rather with the mobile browser.
You're a legend mate I know nothing of what you say, but it is very interesting. It is time I brush up my skills and I thank you very much for the clues! I'll look it up.
When you delete it from the phone, you have to redownload it from app store to get it back. I would be shocked if less than 5000 people a year did that.

These are fantastic. Reminds me of the structures ("choruses"?) from "A Topiary" script by Shane Carruth (the same bloke who made Primer). The first act's "pattern-seeking" premise is great, too. I think anyone who enjoys films such as Aronofsky's Pi, Linklater, Kaufman, etc would enjoy at least skimming through the first act.

Startup funding: What role does female beauty play?
I wonder why the error in nomenclature… it’s Palazzo Te, from the name of the islet, but even English Wikipedia gives “palazzo del te”, that would mean “of the tea”. Very nice place nevertheless.
>I never understood the appeal of tiling

I like physical positional cues, and being able to just flick my eyes over to other things to check status rather than having to scroll through hidden context. I have a terrible habit of losing my train of thought if I check on something that's hidden, and thereby hide my current work. So just being able to glance and then glance back is a huge plus.

I also have an insane amount of screen real estate on my work machine (2x 4K 30" displays, 1x 2K 15"), so I can have everything on screen at once. I mostly use terminals, a couple browsers, and slack, so YMMV if you are using a bunch of IDE-like windows or the like.

I disagree with this. In my experience we saw the red team use graph techniques to plot paths to high value assets over and over, where defenders were not even thinking about this approach. As soon as they did, they identified potential attacks before the red team launched them.

Smart teams will immediately adopt the red team technology that, for example, crawls AWS as a graph looking for paths to from low to high value accounts.

Its not a zero sum or sea change thing, but defenders absolutely can think more like attackers and leverage attacker tools more often in the act of defense.
Sure. NASA will cancel Starliner flights, and replace them with newly purchased SpaceX ones. They are going to be buying more SpaceX launches.
Oh lots. Not all but lots. It's not like I have a study to point to but I still have no doubt about that. You'll see lots of ADHD types here and in similar forums. For some reason, ADHD people seem to be really attracted to technology. They have "attention deficit" and yet don't have any trouble at all concentrating for 10 hours straight on things they care about and I often find that technology in general is in that list. Remember that "bipolar lisp programmer" article? It's more like ADHD lisp programmer. Actual bipolar patients I've seen weren't like that.

When I talk to an ADHD patient, I end up getting this distinct feeling they're talking about me instead. I run them through the diagnostic criteria and they match. I still refer them to a trusted psychiatrist regardless so that a proper differential diagnosis can be made, which does include bipolar disorder. Psychiatry is hard and I'm not about to underestimate the difficulty of it, especially since I could kill the patient if I'm wrong. So far getting this feeling seems to be virtually pathognomonic though.

The Falcon 9 price per launch was increased from $62M to $67M in 2022. As far as I'm aware, that is the only time the Falcon 9 price ever changed.
Gun.js: real-time, decentralized graph data storage for the web
Luxon is great! You’re correct about its origin. I use Luxon both for exiftool-vendored and PhotoStructure.

The new temporal api discussed in TFA includes more robust calendar support and more flexible zoned DateTime than Luxon afaict.
But it doesn't have to be a zero day if it's never getting patched at this point. It could be a 400 day that acts like a zero day - even more dangerous due to the potential for more threat actors to know about it and using the exploit doesn't burn it.
+1 on monthly post.

That just makes it worse. Not only is it too large a field to bring a community together, but it's a minefield?!
in this scenario you seem to be arguing lists as the basis of graphs - this is still the authors point, and a subtle but critical difference in how the problem is approached by defenders.

You have to have the insight to pivot your list into a graph, otherwise you just have a list of Crown Jewels and play whack-a-mole on the 10000s of ways they can be reached that you didn't consider.
Emacs Fits My Soul
The Tao of Unicode Sparklines (2021)
I think it is somewhat like git's creation story. Sometimes a senior dev sees a tool that is close to ideal but needs to work a little differently than what the industry has built.

Databases are up there with encryption. Don't roll your own... mentality.

But sometimes they don't fit the problem your solving. Sometimes the data never changes so why have infrastructure for updates.

Having a big DB running all the time could be too expensive for your business model

Also it is good to be curious about "what is an index" and how does a parquet file look in hex editor. Why can't I write the underlying db table outside of postgres. Why are joins hard..

And then you discover your tools give you a competitive edge

Most of the time there are existing tools, but sometimes they don't.
Speaking as someone who's deaf and uses these services a lot: for speech to text, the AI stuff is getting rather good.

I'm not saying it's perfect for every situation, but I have a very high success rate using InnoCaption[0] for captioned phone calls, including to places like restaurants with a lot of noise going on in the background. InnoCaption does both live person and AI-based captioning; since they started offering the AI-based option I've left that on, and I've never had to switch to human operators to continue a conversation.

That said - I'm not deaf from birth (lost my hearing in elementary school), so I voice for myself and that does simplify the process. I have used the old school text-only relay services and that was always such a miserable experience for me that I would crawl over broken glass to avoid making phone calls, especially going through phone trees. That's one area that relay operators still have a major advantage on. IIRC, Google's Pixel phones are supposed to be able to navigate phone trees for you, but since I use iOS I have no personal experience there.

I used replit for the examples and a few problems for the APCS class I helped teach a couple years back. As far as I know the school is still using them, but not for long I guess.

Get your economic architecture right and this kind of thing need not happen.
Making a fast, easy to use native work chat app @ noor.to

It's a way to share messages, files, code snippets, links, without worrying about distracting others, or quitting the app yourself to avoid notifications. It uses around 10x less RAM than Slack/Discord/Teams and prioritizes fast moving teams over enterprises. High quality software over features. Features that work rather than half-backed list of smart/AI/notes/wiki/etc bloat.

It's partially euphemism, but there's also more substance to it than you may realize.

The ratios in the Jansen linkages were originally developed through genetic algorithms in computer simulations. Jansen now builds multiple generations of machines at once and has them compete in various "survival" tasks on the beaches, prioritizing further development based on the success of each "mutation"; an ongoing human-assisted evolutionary process.

The Strandbeest machines are also capable of much more sophisticated behavior than may be evident: they pressurize air using wind power and store it in bottles, which in turn run pneumatic "nervous systems" made from logic gates, oscillators, and flip-flops. As the machines have grown more sophisticated they've gained the ability to sense the waterline (with ground-trailing hoses that detect back-pressure from water) and avoid it, to anchor themselves to the ground when it gets too windy, to steer around simple obstacles, and so on.

Strandbeest machines reproducing independently from humans would be a pipe-dream, but at the very least they should be understood as autonomous, biomimetic robots at the same time as they are sculptures.

Falcon 9 is volume limited, not mass limited. It's difficult to launch more than about 10 tons in a Falcon 9. Starlink does it, but Starlink is the exception, not the rule. For example, the OneWeb launches on Falcon9 were 6,000kg -- they would have launched more satellites per rocket if they could have.

$67M / 10 tonnes + fees = $7000/kg.
What??? That's absolutely against the constitution of my (also EU) country and for most of our citizens, including the strongly pro-EU ones, would be cause for immediate exit poll. We had a huge political scandal when a former chief of police tried to run for office.
The idea goes back further than that. It goes all the way back to when the CIA invented birds. The references in popular culture are documentaries.
Ah, I somehow misread the initial comment and thought you said that they bought more Starliner launches. Sorry for that.
With all due respect to Dijkstra, whether or not something is interesting is subjective.

I wonder if his point was that the question didn't need to be answered for whatever they were discussing at the time?
compliance requirements are the table stakes you should do you in your sleep so that you spend most of your time decomposing risks (attack graphs or not). It's a mistake to dismiss compliance (or CIS in another posters comment) as useless, they are basic - and the fact that so many cant deliver the basics is a huge issue.
Beer in space: Researchers study microgravity's effect on fermentation
The problem is clearly short term rentals consuming housing supply which creates an imbalance between supply and demand. The fact is that short term rentals to tourists are more profitable than long term rentals to locals so property owners will prefer it if the law allows. (Hint, it’s your city. In a democracy the laws are whatever people ask for them to be)

“Tourists go back to hotels” would be a more sane response. We buy your food, your art, we employ your barista and your bartender. Our money becomes your money.

Attack the real problem (ban Airbnb) and then we can all get along.

Finally someone gets it.

And then there is status.

Since you don;t understand anything anyway, you ascertain value and correctness based on status signals.

For you engineer that is going to be, first and foremost the way he looks. Whether he's tall, talks without stuttering, which school he went to.

For LLMs it might be a variant of:

Falcon 9($69.75m) is priced about the same as Mitsubishi H-IIA(within 20% of $100m) anyway. Performance difference is within ballparks and Mitsubishi is confident that they're going to get successor H3 cost half as much, which is so far just an ambitious goal but they're not full of liars either. H3 is also 100% expendable with zero accommodation for reuse or extreme cadence operations.

So it's either SpaceX had long established reuse and charging egregious margins to NASA, or Japanese aerospace labor is practically free, or only first stage recovery technology was realized and cost savings is still an open question.

Doesn't the situation look like a mix of all three, I mean, how can it be the case that SpaceX had cut cost by like 80% and US GAO is totally cool with that?
I know two MIT grads that then went on to work at Boeing as mechanical engineers.

They are not impressive at all on almost any subject you talk to them about. Not for Boeing engineers and definitely not as MIT grads.

I don't think they could handle the coursework at Cal IMO, and I thought MIT was even more difficult.

They do seem like a very good example of diversity DEI type admission and hiring. And these kinds of Boeing problems might be the result.

I don’t care either way about this conversation, just thought it was interesting, but what you described is essentially every engineered thing.

A pocket watch has more complexity than what you are describing but isn’t any closer to “artificial life” then any other engineered thing that takes and stores external power.

Not the person you are asking but the two footguns I see all the time in corporations are the use of multiplexing in SSHD and the mismanagement of public key trusts in authorized_keys. I suspect this may also be an issue in the DoD given none of the federal hardening guidelines address this so I hope they are reading. Especially right now

Multiplexing: This feature improves speed when using SSH to proxy applications but it also gives an authentication-free unlogged channel to phishers, allowing zero friction trivial bypass of MFA. There are ways to log this with auditd but very few companies even touch auditd much less customize it to catch phishers. With multiplexing and phishing, corporate firewalls effectively become non existent and phishing is highly effective even in places one would think it would not be. Phishing capabilities include but are not limited to any org with access to public email or public chat, Slack, Instagram, Signal, Whatsapp, Discord, etc... Loose Lips Sink Ships

Public Keys: People instinctively worry about private keys but the biggest risk in OpenSSH in my opinion is the lack of auditing of what public keys are created by whom or what and trusted on what accounts. I can for example add a key to your account if I have temporary root privs and the much later log in to a system as you do bad things and now you are the first person investigators look at. Combine this with passwordless-sudo and it's game over, not that one really needs root to pilfer secrets from a company or let competitors destroy it. In most companies this is a hot steamy mess that people choose to ignore and do mental gymnastics to avoid it all together.

How to do these things properly is a much bigger topic, too big for HN comments.

> Rebootless atomic updates - no more interruptions

Does it mean the same as in all other distros when you install packages and they restart the services? Or does it actually replace the kernel as well? Maybe a stupid question, but the latter would be revolutionary, even if it is technically already possible, but very elaborated.

If the latter is not true, you should still reboot after a kernel update and there is not much difference to most other distributions.

Because they're salespersons.

Telling you the company can lead to you applying directly. Telling you all the other details just gives you reasons to say no. They want to give you enough guaranteed positives to get you to say "yes" (or at least not "no"). If they don't know what you're currently making, that information asymmetry will prevent them for giving you a number early in the process and give you the sales speak ("a highly competitive compensation").

Months ago I did this with ChatGPT.

It was unable to create the .ics directly at first, but at least it wrote the python script that created the .ics.

I first ask the LLM to write out the calendar events in a markdown table to double-check it read everything correctly, and then create the file.

A different prompting strategy later on, ai think with example .ics formatting, resulted in a correct .ics. I just had to *emphasize* the time zone.
