Firefox has two forms of zooming, one of which resemble what you're describing.

1. Zooming with Ctrl++ or Ctrl+- will "tell the page" that it's being zoomed and it will reflow into the new viewport size.

2. Zooming with two-finger pinch (requires a touchpad) will zoom in as if magnifying the page. Content on the page will overflow to the right instead of reflowing.

Supporting an equivalent on regular desktop windows could be pretty useful.
I looked up turborepo since I'm not familiar, which is described as a "build system". so... gobuild? (taken, ofc). Monorego. Build-a-gogo. Gogorepo. etc, etc

It'd be interesting to actually try to make some objective assessment because I feel there's a combo of two things:

- There was a moment of explosive growth where low hanging fruit came in reach and we're at the top of the S-curve for a lot of major technology changes. We're still seeing innovation but it's in efficiency and smaller scale improvements.

- Technological progress was a large part of propaganda in the Cold War. Now in an era of globalization that's significantly less important. Which is to say that breakthroughs are still happening but they're not tied to national identity and defeat of an existential threat.

I think the idea that VC funding (aka Silicon Valley) will result in technological innovation is also flawed. It's always seemed far more focused on exploiting prior innovation and really about funding business model innovation.
If you are a silicon designer or a fab, RISCV costs nothing to license. People think this might cause more production-grade open hardware being introduced to the scene, but I don't think so. Anything that is worth selling to the actual customers will be closed source and may include security processors.

As a user no difference than any other architecture. You are completely bound by the quality/performance of the tooling, the compilers and the actual hardware
Nobody here cares about "building for all income levels", that's some fantasy about European social utopia, but it's wrong. It's about what can you sell. You build a building with flats of 2-3 sizes - a lot of small ones for 1-2 people because small flats have highest cost per square meter, some bigger ones for people with families because there's only so many singles and young couples, and sometimes also few huge penthouses on the top level. In a high income capital city area it's all luxury, in a lower income area you do the same but the overall class (materials, sizing, amenities) is lowered.
Or to add sarcastically, if Telegram and/or Durov was American I'm sure there would be an uproar.
I'm still waiting to hear anything about my treatment... I've done everything they've asked me to and I have no idea what's going on now. I'm really struggling to work because of it
I have used it on and off on a Surface Go, but I would prefer a dedicated device built with linux and open source in mind. Starlabs Starlite is the first tablet device that is a true daily driver with Linux (Pine Tab is not a daily driver in my eyes), and I am pleased to see more in the works.
The argument relies on the insinuation i would not live in an affected area. Right now from where i sit i can see a rubble pile from USAAF/RAF bombings.
hahaha! That's the most brainwashed gibberish I have read in HN forever, congratulations! You are ready for your neuralink chip.
He would only say this when he has high confidence that Democrats will not win this time.
Wrong way round: there's tons of already compiled ARM software, so you'd want a Rosetta-style system for running it on RISC-V.
It should be theoretically possible to build Wine so that it provides the x86_64 API while compiling it to ARM/RISCV. Your link doesn't make it clear if that's what's being done or not.

(Although I suspect providing the API of one architecture while building for another is far easier said than done. Toolchains tend to be uncooperative about such shenanigans, for starters.)

It really isn’t “wrong and dangerous” - hippies talking about greater consciousnesses have been a thing for a looooong time, and surely you could accept in SOME manner the argument that mankind is a kind of organism as well. That’s basically what sociology is studying!

Democratising market research – a low cost solution for startups and scale-ups
Our big idea is to democratise market research by offering a low cost solution for start-ups and scale-ups, giving those businesses competitive advantage in a time where resources are tight.

Recently we (a team of 3) launched MarqtAI, an app that automates market research using AI/LLM's/RAG. It includes a built in assistant to perform marketing tasks. (www.gysho.com)
Does 10 years count as a recently graduated student? Thanks, I feel very young again! :)
One example I like because it's so telling: driving. Over the course of their live, people drive a really long time. But after 10k hours, are they racing pilots? (Some drivers can't even park properly...)
Sure, use a webview.
Keep in mind that this is not the only way the experts program this technology.

There's plenty of fine-tuning and RLHF involved too, that's mostly how "model alignment" works for example.

The system prompt exists merely as an extra precaution to reinforce the behaviors learned in RLHF, to explain some subtleties that would be otherwise hard to learn, and to fix little mistakes that remain after fine-tuning.

You can verify that this is true by using the model through the API, where you can set a custom system prompt. Even if your prompt is very short, most behaviors still remain pretty similar.

There's an interesting X thread from the researchers at Anthropic on why their prompt is the way it is at [1][2].

And with using much lower quality textures and 3D models, therefore using much less RAM for assets. It's not an apples to apples comparison and you can't really make claims about bad optimization on PCs when the scope of what's shown on screen is vastly different.
That's pretty much table stakes for every ISP to have a way to quickly report abuse on their network or service.
Isn't DeepComputing also announced a RISC-V based mainboard for Framework Laptop? See: https://x.com/DeepComputingio/status/1826582426807927121. I was hoping this would enable me to get a Framework in China, since DeepComputing is a HongKong based company. Plus, a RISC-V based product-grade project is nice to try out, maybe.
Not an answer to your question but the repo contains a Raylib example :)
It's very hard to see how they could behave differently in the polity they have to operate in. I'm not for a minute pretending it does them or the Chinese state any benefits to operate reactively and opaquely. But given the planning cycles they'd be contradicting Xi Jinping thought on a monthly basis.

At least with the levels of use of alipay and the like, they know the real financial state of ordinary people and the size of things like undeclared income. They would have an enormously well instrumented view of the National finances.

E2E is only for Secret Chats, yes. And yeah, I don't think people use Secret Chats by default.

That’s only 75 years away, same time since the first work on developing orbital rockets.

But by 2500 sure. And likely by 2500 some form of self sustaining asteroid with propulsion will leave the solar system.

I used to think ince that happens for a few thousand trips, humanity will survive enough that our descendants will last billions of years. Not the same biology, certainly not a single culture, but once the technology exists nothing can stop the spread.

Then I read about the “light cage” concept.

except that at least on torrent sites only the popular torrents stay alive. that's not helpful. what we really need is a digital library of congress, funded by taxes, where at least every publicly performed work should be uploaded. the internet archive is a good start, but they can only take stuff that they are allowed to. they should really be able to take everything and make it accessible for a fee and free once the copyright expires. the problem is that greed of the publishers prevents that, hence i think a mandatory system would be better.
It's one of those HN-adjacent sites that has been posted here since inception, similar to bingo card creator, oxide, starfighters, etc. I'm not opposed to it.
What is? Is there a compiler with 6502 target that has uint64_t? :)
There are reproducible builds on android, and reproducible builds are simply not possible on iOS due to Apple's own decisions.
Thanks for this comment. It is important to consider everything you said. CQRS is part of this book, but it is more of an explanation and might help you at some point (but does not need to). I think that's the main problem of CQRS - it is not understood well.

Throughout the book, I describe many concepts. Sometimes, I give some recommendations, and sometimes, no.

I accept your note—these four steps of evolution help you find yourself in one of them. Simplicity can be solved in multiple different ways; it is just the direction of keeping the solution as simple as possible (sometimes it will be more complicated, and sometimes less).

Enjoy reading it; if you don't like it, you can always return it within 60 days (Leanpub policy).

I love Guix and am migrating from NixOS and Ubuntu+Guix at the moment. I only wish I could run it on Android too.

Nix actually has a great purpose-built language and the ecosystem is huge, but something about guix feels nicer and more consistent. Also I like having childhurds and dreaming of the day the GNU OS is finally dominant.
Looking at this from a historical perspective, Nuclear with other types of primary generation did not generate a highly variable grid. Its a recent phenomena in Europe that has caused spot prices jumps from negative to 2$ per kWh, which the primary blame being put in volatile energy production.

If we are claiming that nuclear is similar to renewables, we should expect regions where nuclear is being decommissioned to have an increase in renewables with no increase in natural gas consumption. This is however not the case. This has been demonstrated by the decommissions of nuclear plants in Germany and Sweden, with fossil fuel emissions being increased as a direct results. To take Sweden as an in-depth example, after the decommission of their south based nuclear power plant the two major natural gas plants in the region went from operating a few times a year to running almost 24/7, only shutting down briefly during optimal weather conditions. They are now the highest source of pollution in that region, and more natural gas plants are being planned for construction. As a result the government funding for the "reserve energy" has increased significantly (ie, fossil fuel subsidies).
The thread was about nuclear power and the accompanying issue with nuclear waste types. You brought up mining for rare earth and naturally occurring radioactive waste in the process.

I don't see how this relates to nuclear power and it's waste issue.
Ask HN: Developer seeks English practice app for better job opportunities
Well, I'm a Spanish developer, and throughout my career, I've focused on Spanish companies, although I obtained an English certificate (F.C.E) to help me with documentation and learning new things. However, it has been 10 years since I prepared for that certificate, and my speaking skills have declined. If you don't use it, you lose it. I would like to maintain my English, especially to open up my career (and my account) to all the job opportunities the world has to offer.

In your opinion, this question is directed at non-native English speakers: Do you know of any apps or places on the internet where I can practice with native speakers? I mention apps because I'm a parent, and the little free time I have during the week is for spending with my family, but finding an hour every day to speak, especially at home, would be much better.

That's pretty much the opposite of what I'm searching for. Getting a static site running with https on Dokku on a fresh server is done in under 2 minutes if you type quickly.

1) Run curl command to install Dokku

2) Set up domain to point to my server

3) Run 3 Dokku commands (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41358578)

4) Add remote git url to my repository

5) Git push to that remote

6) Done

> Does anyone have experience building (Supervised / Unsupervised) models using something other than Python (including deployment)?

XGBoost/LightGBM have a C API and can be used from pretty much anything, deployment is not a problem. Practically building models is more about dealing with data, the ecosystem tends to revolve around Python and R for that reason.
It's just not like Snowden of the past to endorse apps with bad privacy defaults and non encrypted group chats like Telegram. I'd have understood if he had said the same if the CEO of Signal was arrested, but I can't understand it for Telegram, an app that's mostly not used in an e2e encrypted way.

Telegram is also an app that is widely used by Russian troops to organize and also for dissemination of propaganda and misinformation. It's just not characteristic of Snowden to endorse apps that could potentially be honeypots/backdoored, and to equate such apps as important to free speech.

Simplr was born out of the need for a streamlined, all-in-one business suite that simplifies day-to-day operations for small and medium-sized enterprises. As a developer, I’ve worked with various tools that offer bits and pieces of what businesses need, but nothing that truly brings it all together in a cohesive and user-friendly way. With Simplr, my goal was to create a platform that doesn't just address one aspect of business management, but provides a comprehensive solution—from CRM and project management to invoicing and task tracking—all in one place.

What sets Simplr apart is its intuitive design and the ability to customize the platform to suit the unique needs of different businesses. It's built with simplicity and efficiency in mind, so you can focus on what really matters—growing your business.
How about Wagner?
I agree that maybe this doesn’t prove the existence of a higher metaphysical plane, but don’t you find it a bit hubristic to assume that the contemporary human perception and way of categorizing things just happens to be the way everything actually is?
The sacrifice is loss of income from not working, losing job, or at least using up paid time off. There is also disruption to kids’ schedules and activities, as well as lodging and transportation costs to live somewhere else for a week.
You lost me when you used WhatsApp and "mastered the art of providing secure encryption " on the same sentence. Even Signal is known on hacker circles as the CIA app. The problem is in the hardware, not software.
> Bathroom usage is fine.

No, it still isn't. A lot is still being captured. And almost everyone takes personal calls at work.
I love the idea. It's similar to what the Elixir folks have been working on with Livebook https://livebook.dev which seems somewhat more refined on the UI side + the benefits of distributed erlang/elixir (e.g. a livebook can interface with a live system and interact with the remote application/gpu etc).
Had a chat with a pharmaceutical company whistleblower recently.

They told me that FDA has nothing to do with actual product testing, e.g., human trials. What the "approval" guarantees is proper facilities and other second-order criteria.

I'm writing this comment in the hopes of learning that I have misunderstood something crucial here. Because if it is indeed the case that the companies themselves are the only ones vouching for drug safety, that old story about capitalism and incentives implies we're seriously fucked.

Show HN: Privacy-First TUI Note App with GitHub Sync and Local Storage
probably used macro for those, since the navigation is the same every time
Hi everyone, I'm the creator of Glues, a privacy-first TUI note-taking app that gives you full control over where your data is stored—whether in local files (CSV, JSON), or a Git repository.

You can even turn GitHub into your own note vault, keeping everything synced and versioned with ease.

The app is built on a flexible core architecture that separates the TUI from the core logic using a finite state machine (FSM), allowing for easy integration with other frontends or even headless operation.

This is the initial release, so I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
Sipeed had previously announced two tablets ("Lichee Pad 4A" and "Lichee Pad Max 4A"), but those are gone from their web page now.

Those would have fit Sipeed's CPU module: so they could have been upgraded to the same SoC as DC's tablet, or better, but at the expense of thickness: 10 mm.
decoupling would really make a difference. i should be able to acquire knowledge however i want or am able to, and then pass a standardized process to get the accreditation.

the problem with standardized tests however is that they lead to more schools just teaching for the test and not actually helping the students learn. it's tricky. depending on the subject or field. though i suppose papers and dissertations can be judged on their own merits. but other tests are trickier to do in a way that they can't just be passed by memorizing test knowledge.
Worse, they ruled cops have no responsibility to endanger themselves and try to rescue people.
But they said "everyone" - I imagine undervolting would only be done by people trying to hack the sgx, or maybe try to save a bit of power. So I'd assume 99.99% of users would be unaffected? Or did the cpu undervolt automatically before the update?
https://semidynamics.com claims to be able to integrate tensor units to their design... I guess the standardized part is not there but if you can use standardized APIs...
Version numbers dont mean anything unless you make clear you are using semver. does starting from 0.0.1 or 1.0.0 change anything? not really

Author here! Happy to answer any questions folks have.

(I would also be remiss if I didn't say that I am grateful to HN for introducing me to what was called microISVs a decade ago, "indie hacking" five years ago, and now I suppose is mostly called "building in public" / "lifestyle businesses". I was inspired to start Buttondown in no small part due to reading about Candy Japan, Appointment Reminder, et al, and learning that there was a different yet equally valid path for growing a SaaS)
hmmm, probably not worth it.

If you hire a house cleaner 3 days a week for 3 hours for every week of a year.
That should keep your house in near pristine condition.

That's around 450 hours a year. Pay them $20, thats $9000 a year.

Probably waaaay more hours than you would need at way over the market rate, and still cheaper.

Those robots probably break often too and still are hard to fix. And are not flexible in terms of tasks (only flexible when the work)

For Chromium IntelliSence at least in the form of VSCode plug-in works pretty much out of the box with recent releases of VSCode. It is not as precise as clang LSP but the latter can easily consume over 10GB for Chromium.
> Yeah but the “very clear speech” came later, after the decision was made.

Huh? I clearly stated they had another three months at that point. Nothing changed, so they got the boot three months later. What the heck do you expect? Another two years? At this point I have to assume malice from your side. I guess you're just one of these people yourself. Blame everyone and everything but yourself.
Most answers are outdated. Reddit took its place.
Not at all for developer roles, in my experience.
This game made me realize that even if I think it's sweet to code with keyboard only, using the mouse is generally faster, especially in this game where there's no back and forth to type something.

However, using the mouse to navigate is flaky here, probably because of how the terminal and decorations are rendered, it lands a character to the right or left when clicking the target.

True, probably not the best choice of wording haha! Of course, Palform can't fix everything — I'm just trying to highlight that forms are an area where I think software security specifically needs more attention.
I agree, I just meant given it's not mere community convention, it does have some meaning in the language, it's a shame it doesn't have more.
