> a house with high, quality, modern insulation?

How much is society willing to spend collectively to upgrade our housing stock for this? Not to mention triple-paned windows are not standard by any sufficiently large builder on new construction. Double-paned? Certainly.

Geothermal is great. But in an already built city, it's not feasible to install quickly. There is also a lack of legal framework or precedent in place to heat multiple properties from a single source. I tried very hard to obtain a quote for this and it was well over 50k for a single family home, and nobody would actually do it because of the big city I live in. Want a heat pump too? That's another 25k. Throwing down 100k up-front is not a reasonable request to a typical homeowner.
I guess... at the end of the day without some reform to the CFAA I just wouldn't ever feel comfortable using exploits to gain access to a random website–particularly one related to air travel security–that I had no engagement with, even if there are enlightened folks in government who want to protect good-faith research. The downsides are just way too serious in the case someone, somewhere decides there's something worth prosecuting.

Not really, as the variables comes from the content itself, not from the company intention.

Wow, what a one-sided view of GamerGate.

"Gamergate was a valuable and terrifying illustration of the sheer adolescent rage that overtakes some men when they discover that something is no longer designed exclusively for them"

I find it a little disturbing that all men in gaming were blamed, when many of these hate campaigns and harassment were from literal children. Many weren't even in the US and there were attempts to change US policy over it.

I saw just as many harassment and doxxing incidents perpetrated from the other side, yet this is explained away and even justified.

It did open many people's eyes to the fact that one-sided thinking has infiltrated our media, movies, and games. It also wasn't the fact that things aren't designed 'exclusively for them' that was the problem.

It's the fact that there were attempts all over the industry to kick men out
completely. Just like what we are seeing today, it's never about equity or equality, it's about the power to over take something completely.
Commodities Tracker: using LLMs to classify supply/demand/market shocks

I'd have let the dealer do the install, and then only brought up the fact that it was under warranty afterwards.
This is obviously not a real question, so instead of answering I propose we conduct a thought experiment. The year is 2028, and Zuck had a change of heart and fully switched sides. Facebook, Threads, and Instagram now block the news of Barron Trump’s drug use, of his lavishly compensated board seat on the board of Russia’s Gazprom, and bans the dominant electoral candidate off social media. In addition it allows the spread of a made up dossier (funded by the RNC) about Kamala Harris’ embarrassing behavior with male escorts in China.

What you should ask yourself is this: irrespective of whether compliance is voluntary or not, is political censorship on social media OK? And what kind of a logical knot one must contort one’s mind into to suggest that this is the second coming of net neutrality? Personally I think the mere fact that the government is able to lean on a private company like that is damning AF.

iPadOS 18's Smart Script: A Promising Start but Don't Toss Out Your Keyboard Yet
God that's just insane.
This is only a circuit court ruling - there is a good chance it will be overturned by the supreme court. The cited supreme court case (Moody v. NetChoice) does not require personalization:

> presenting a curated and “edited compilation of [third party] speech” is itself protected speech.

This circuit court case mentions the personalization but doesn't limit its judgment based on its presence - almost any type of curation other than the kind of moderation explicitly exempted by the CDA could create liability, though in practice I don't think "sorting by upvotes with some decay" would end up qualifying.
I think you are seeing different problems here than I was complaining about. Maybe I can restate the case: Baseline PDF 1.0 is something like (but not exactly) rendering to print to a specific PostScript printer that understands embedded PostScript fonts, somewhat like but not exactly like virtual version of an early Apple LaserWriter. PDF has been extended over the versions and included extensions and upgrades over the years and now that target "printer" that PDF represents has upgraded and also understands Unicode in its PostScript and also understands embedded OpenType fonts (and their many extensions of character mapping and ligatures and contextual alternates, etc). But because its legacy was a dumber printer for the easiest "backwards compatibility" a lot of PDF rendering apps still do dumb things like encode ligatures "by hand" in quaint encodings like some of the extended ASCII code pages or the pre-combined Unicode forms that today we consider obsolete as if they were printing to a PostScript printer that doesn't understand ligatures directly because it is still only capable of printing older PostScript fonts.

Yes, if you don't embed your fonts (or at least their metrics) in the PDF layout is less deterministic and will shift from font to font. The point is that we can embed modern fonts in PDF, the virtual printer has upgraded support for that, but for all sorts of reasons some of the tools that build PDF are still acting like they are "printing" to the lowest common denominator and using legacy EBCDIC ligature encodings in 2024. (Fun fact: Unicode's embeddings of the ligatures are somewhat closer to some classic EBCDIC report printing code pages than Extended ASCII's equivalents because there was a larger backwards compatibility gulf there.)
Politically motivated attacks on his companies do exist, but I don't think this is one of them. The Falcon 9 flight plan had a major hiccup and it's standard FAA procedure to always investigate the failure when these things occur. Once they identify that the issue is something to do with the landing hardware and (hopefully) not the engines' booster burn Polaris Dawn will be back in business. This will likely take just a couple of days.
No, the wanted stats are a function of the top 100 items.

As a concrete example, consider computing the average sales volume by category for the top 100 items. Here's the vanilla SQL for it:

WITH
TopItems AS (
SELECT category, sales_volume
FROM Items
ORDER BY sales_volume DESC
LIMIT 100
)
SELECT category, AVG(sales_volume) AS avg_sales_volume
FROM TopItems
GROUP BY category;

Because ORDER/LIMIT processing is implicitly last in vanilla SQL, if you need to do anything after that processing, you must do it in a new SELECT statement. Thus you must capture the ORDER/LIMIT results (e.g., as a CTE or, heaven forbid, as a nested SELECT statement) and then wire those results into that new SELECT statement via its FROM clause.

In contrast, with SQL pipes you can express any ordering you want, so you can feed the ORDER/LIMIT results directly into the statistical computations:

FROM Items
|> ORDER BY sales_volume DESC
|> LIMIT 100
|> AGGREGATE AVG(sales_volume) AS avg_sales_volume
GROUP BY category

That's way simpler and the data flows just as it reads: from top to bottom.

> Anyone in the know knows where to look to find out the platform...

And for anyone who isn't in the know, that's Realtime Trains[1]. It isn't correct 100% of the time; it uses the public record of train movements (TRUST) to predict which platform a train will arrive at, but is prevented by National Rail Enquiries from using the live status and delay data which official departure boards show (Darwin). That means that if the platform is changed at the last minute it is not certain that Realtime Trains will be able to detect the change.

It would be nice to see which if any of these support coreboot. There's a big hole that was left behind when PC Engines left the market for a reasonably open low power x86 system that runs coreboot and has a much lower possibility of baked in back doors while sporting the sort of hardware that you can just plug in and leave alone for years on end.
I chose Docusaurus for the Singapore hackerspace's docs site (https://docs.hackerspace.sg).

My personal opinion when we chose Docusaurus was that it struck the right balance in having just enough batteries included.

It was quick and easy to launch something without having to fiddle with too much config, while allowing some scripting, customisability, and templating through MDX.

It's probably also a good thing that Facebook dogfoods Docusaurus in some places, while keeping it MIT licensed so the community can fork it if Facebook ever decides to stop maintaining it.

It took four years for me to be accepted into TennCare with one denial. That seems average, from what I can tell. This system definitely contributed to some suicides.

With many of those decisions as incorrect as they were, with people as poor as they are here... This is a tragedy that has had people hiding the cause of their suicides for an insurance payout to their families.

I am guessing that the healthcare costs for those denied are generally larger now than they would have been had they been accepted; that the hospital system is still paying the price tag, not the destitute. - A layered tragedy in that the finances are worse for everyone but Deloitte.
I agree, and for that reason I will be suing Hacker News in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, or the Virgin Islands.

> Does Meta pay for ncurses? for xterm?

Should they? Both of those are client-side software that aren't even really being monetized or profited-off by Meta. You could maybe get mad at Meta's employees for not donating to the software they rely on, but in the case of ncurses and xterm they're both provided without cost. They're not even server-side software, much less a deliberate infrastructure decision.

There's an oddly extremist sect of people that seem to entirely misunderstand what GNU and Free software is. It does not exist to stop people from charging money for software. It does not exist to prevent private interests or corporations from contributing to projects. It does not exist to solicit donations from it's users. All of these are options that some GNU or FOSS projects can choose to embody, not a static rule that they must all abide by. Since Cathedral and the Bazaar was published, people have been scrutinizing different approaches to Free Software and contrasting their impacts. We don't have to champion one approach versus the other because they ultimately coexist and often end up stimulating FOSS development in the long run.

The details in the summary given by the previous poster were from the article. I don't know what distinction you think exists between a "hit piece" and "fact based reporting", but this article falls into the fact based reporting category.
I use mintty on Windows (Cygwin) and like the standard "select with mouse does automatically copy to clipboard and rmb pastes into the terminal".

My issue with screen and tmux is that they break mouse selection. All I know is that it is possible to select text and it gets copied into a buffer, but my terminal can't interact with this buffer.

tmux at least does allow multiline selection with the mouse in a pane, not copying the entire line across multiple vertically split panes, but limiting itself to the active pane. Yet I then have no way to get that copied text into the OS's clipboard.

And with screen, if there are multiple vertically split panes, it will select the entire text in that line, not caring about the fact that these panes have an entirely different content.

It makes me feel bad about myself when I see people showing their tmux skills, because I can't use it due to my demand of easily copying into and from the native clipboard.

For me screen has turned into what I use to run long-running processes, and tmux what I use to create multipane layouts which mostly serve as dashboards, showing the output of `docker log --follow` or screens of long-running processes.

Both tools are really great, but I know that I'll not be able to use them properly. Multiple mintty terminals are what I have to settle with.

Could it be possible to write some kind of tool which watches such a buffer and then sends it via HTTP to my machine, which then moves it into the clipboard (and the other way around)?

I've been around BBS, web forums and social networks for almost 30 years now.

Indeed NOSTR is completely fresh air and mindblowing. My account just works across any clients, doesn't need even need Internet nor electricity. I can print my note on a piece of paper and people can still verify that this is a verifiable text from me.

Really in love with the tech, didn't had this feeling for quite a while.
I spend four months of the year traveling in an RV. Two years ago, I budgeted over $6000 for my desired solar setup (at least 1200Ah of battery, at least 2400W of solar, plus various controllers and other components). It was expensive enough for me to hold off, and more importantly, I didn't have the space on my current RV for the solar panels.

In just the two years since then, prices on batteries and panels have dropped 25% or more, and solar power per square foot at a good price point has gone up significantly (400W monocrystalline panels can be gotten for $200, in the same form factor as the 200W panels I had been budgeting for). I've now lowered my budget to $4000 for the same setup I was planning to spend $6000 on two years ago, and with 400W panels, I no longer need to upgrade to a larger RV to begin the project.

This summer is almost over, so I'm going to wait until spring to start assembling my system in earnest. Anecdotally, this is a game-changer for me. I'm looking toward year-round full-timing starting next summer, because I can now afford the power I need and don't need a larger RV as soon as I thought I would.

I intend to buy undeveloped land far from civilization in the next few years, and I'm now confident that I can DIY a whole-house solar and battery setup so cheaply that access to mains power won't be a factor in deciding where I settle. Even with seasonal variation in power production, I'll manage just fine, and the system will pay for itself in well under five years. In fact it'll pay for itself instantly if you discount the five-figure cost I would otherwise have had to pay for running a new mains power line far into the woods. And by the time I pick some land to settle on, I'll already have enough solar on my RV that I won't even need to augment the system initially; I'll be able to power a small house in a temperate climate directly off the RV itself, while I build a larger solar array (likely ground-mounted to avoid regulations and insurance complications related to roof-mounted setups).

I know my situation is unusual, but the fact that any of this is possible for well under $10k is a huge change from even a decade ago.
You can't just pick anything and call it a "bias" - absolutely unmoderated content may not (will not) represent the median viewpoint, but it's not the hosting provider "bias" doing so. Moderating spam is also not "bias" as long as you're applying content-neutral rules for how you do that.
In some countries where this is the norm, like Germany, the usual route is to report the issue to journalists or to non-profits like the CCC and those then report the issue to the government agency/company. This way you won't get prosecuted for responsible disclosure. Alternatively an even safer route is to write a report and send it to them anonymously with a hard deadline on public/full disclosure, won't get any credit for the discovery this way of course.
We're talking about getting a judgement in the court of public opinion not a court of law, and no one is exempt from the former.

Yes.

Or you do things that gives you rewards - and do not care what it will result otherwise - but you want to be saved from any responsibility (automatically!) for what it causes just because it is an algorithm?

The enjoying the benefits but running away from responsibility is a cowardly and childish act. Childish acts need supervision from adults.

No, no. The parent comment I was responding to:

The act of reducing the length of variable names by replacing something descriptive (like "timeFactor") with something much shorter ("i") may be mechanical and simple, but it is destructive and reversing that is not relatively easy; in fact, its impossible to do without a fairly sophisticated understanding of what the code does. That's what the LLM did for this; which isn't exactly surprising, but it is cool; being so immediately dismissive isn't cool.
I've had some contact with Docusaurus and from my experience the Sphinx and reStructuredText combo is a much better solution to creating a robust, maintainable, cross-linked-to-nth-degree documentation where you actually can "focus on your content".

Bonus points if you prefer to not deal with the JS ecosystem and prefer Python.

The main downside is that while reST is well-suited for extending the syntax actually writing Sphinx extensions is, subjectively, significantly more arcane than writing React components/MDX plugins.
