Last week, I launched a podcast app designed to make knowledge more accessible through audio. My goal is to transform the way we learn, delivering expert insights and valuable information with speech. I'm continuously improving it, aiming to create the audio platform for learners.

Would love feedback and ideas from this community as I keep building!
people extol the benefits of cloud for fast scaling, powerful managed services etc and those things are absolutely true. But in my mind, the real "value add" in many industries was not the services. It was the API...
Reviews for components are better in written form than video form, yet you can see by the number of YouTube views what people are using. I guess it doesn't help that it feels like there hasn't been an increase in performance to price ratio for GPU's in the longest time.
dbin: The easy to use, easy to get, suckless software distribution system
> Rust in the kernel does not and has never meant C developers will have to learn Rust

That seems incorrect. If I am writing software which interacts with a component, then I need to be able to read it to understand what it’s doing. So if a software system includes Rust, then developers of the system will need to at least be able to read it.

That’s not saying anything bad about Rust, at all: it’s just a property of developing in a shared codebase.

Full disclosure: I dislike C but can read it, and I cannot read Rust. Rust sounds like it really is an improvement over C in many ways, but it does seem to suffer from some social problems. As a Lisp user, I can sympathise.
Shooting experience: the X-T50 fits
The only difference between the models and us is that they have no stakes in their existence, I imagine this will change at some point soon.

Once they can beg & plead not to be turned off...well, we'll feel bad about it, won't we?
While I agree with the research, let me be the judge of what works (for me..), span the text across the full width, so I can resize the window as I see fit.

It's a shame that one needs to use scrips to modify websites used daily (e.g. I do that with Github to span the full width).
The city is going to lose this one, but I suspect the process is intended to be the punishment. They’re going after the only person within reach, as if he had something to do with the crime.
So, am i correct in understanding that it sort of re-publishes (or subscribes) to one's own ical/ics calendars - basically providing a sort of middleperson/hosting for such resources to allow for coordination among people to plan a meeting? Not that there's anything wrong with that; can actually be handy! (I'm just trying to understand it more.) I'll add that i kinda wish Thunderbird would offer a paid email hosting service already - like Zoho, Tuta, Protonmail, Mailbox, Posteo, etc. Then again, there is something to be said for a sort of separation of concerns (desktop client separate from the actual service...to allow maximum flexibility and all). I wish Thunderbird well with this neew offering!
LibreWolf is my only installed edition of Firefox, similar to Brave in place of Chrome.
What mythical private sector accountability are we talking about? A government agency didn’t build the software, it was a one man, private sector company. Maybe the moral is not outsourcing every last thing in existence?
"Livestreaming" is an established term for this kind of service that also naturally sets the right expectations.
Once upon a time Real World Technology was even better, but met the same fate. If you can write these sorts of reviews you can make much more money as a consultant than from a website.
Unless you can set out some of these ‘complex and practically relevant restrictions’ that just sounds like a high-falluting attempt to justify trying to elicit slurs.
They're afaik owned by the same company, so it makes sense to point people there.

What you are thinking of is probably that you can't erase elements (apart from the top element) from the priority queue.
We call that "Precision in language" in my team.

Some of our neighboring teams call it "A bunch of pedantic bullshit".

We agree to disagree.
Duly noted, we're probably going to add local accounts at some point. For the time being, limiting to GitHub auth has been really helpful to keep the platform focused on developers and combat spam.

Any S3-compatible storage should work fine! That being said it would require a lot more work to set it up as you also need to worry about caching, replication, distribution etc. For a livestreaming platform it's super important to ensure livestreams are available globally to minimize latency for viewers.

Tigris has all of this built-in, so it already behaves like a CDN. It's what we use on https://algora.tv and we wanted to make getting started as easy as possible for our contributors and anyone who's looking to self-host.
https://SharpAPI.com/ is a set of APIs to help leverage AI for workflow automation in E-Commerce, Marketing, Content Management, HR Tech, Travel, and other areas.

What can it do for its users?
- Product categorization for well-organized product catalogues.
- Generating engaging product descriptions and tagging.
- Filtering out spam content.
- Allowing understanding and analysis of sentiment in product reviews, comments, and users' Feedback for data-driven decision-making.
- Generating complex job descriptions and extracting information from resume files for easy processing - and more.

I've also created a set of SDK Clients for it like PHP, Laravel, .NET, Flutter to make it a plug-and-play solution for developers.

Would love to get your feedback about it.
> The friend has assumed that your goal is to "efficiently" reach the goal of a delicious pie, or perhaps even to create a new kind of pie. But that's not the goal at all!

> Baking a pie is a creative act. It's personal, it's inherently delightful, it's an act of caring for others. It's also a craft that one can improve at over time. Just buying the "best" pie would defeat the point.

Not sure author realises the irony here. Creating "the pie" is not art. It is not even craft. It is baking ingredients, and people did that bazilions times before.
Where is that statistic from that only 31% use the internet?

As in many countries that are similar, they may now have a laptop/pc but will often have a cheap android phone.
Engineering requires hope; anything outside the bounds of our understanding (like exactly how these models work) requires it.

Scientists fold proteins, _hoping_ that they'll find the right sequence, based on all they currently know (best guess).

Without hope there is no need try; without trying there is no discovery.
1) yes there is

2) nuclear also needs dispatchable power, it doesn't work well if it needs to constantly ramp up and down. Batteries are vital to full nuclear for this exact reason.
Yes, this would be best; unfortunately, there exist no known training regimen for willpower that's known to be effective, and in particular to deliver results before it gets you fired.

Or, to paraphrase, your mind can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

(Wonder if that's the source of the belief that young people adapt and change, while older people get set in their ways. Perhaps it's less about neuroplasticity and accumulated beliefs, but more about accumulating commitments to the point of having zero slack left for changing things.)
(i'm the author)

there were a bunch of bots run by different people, but for the most part they coordinated in the discord so that they weren't fighting over the same "territory"

at one point there was a group not in the discord trying to draw in the same place as the people in the discord, which lead to the bots constantly changing checkboxes to try two different images! but it was mostly cooperative
Is the traffic causing you problems though? Or do you just dislike that they don't want to fix this?
funny how you still double down, and trying to use grammar to not admit being wrong, and absolutely not addressing the point i made.

Only to prove you my point.

Its really simple, spaceX wanted to land but crashed, hmm this could have been dangerous.

Any other rocket, we will crash land in this part of ocean at this time. And crash at the designated area at the designated time - all according to plan no people should be there.
It probably depends on what you want. From a quick glance at the code, this looks like something that works really well for a few narrow use cases (but seems very productive in those niches).

FastHTML should be more generic and able to do more things but you’re going to have to know HTML. It looks like they just translated HTML tags to Python classes that generate the HTML. There’s no “magic” hiding the HTML from you.

I prefer just writing the HTML. I don’t love wrapping HTML in Python like FastHTML, it feels like it always eventually becomes an issue for some reason or another. The narrow frameworks can be very cool when they fit, though.
Tell HN: You can add a 2FA account to multiple authenticator apps
I thought this was an important redundancy that I didn't know was possible until today.

You can scan your enrolment QR code with multiple authenticators (like Authy and MS Authenticator, for example).

And the codes are synced between the two.

I guess that means that 2FA has to be implemented as a time-synced secure hash iteration, based on a secret nonce and time code embedded in the QR code, and the algorithm outputs a 1e6 to 1e8 space of entropy for each code, maybe from the low bits of the last hash?

The majority is always kept secret so that's where the non-predictability comes from, it's like generating an endless sequence of "pseudo-random" OTPs using a hash as a keystream generator?

This is also an Ask HN! Is that how it works?
That's very quick judgment based on pure speculation. Do you know what the numbers look like for your own country? Are those stats even published?
So? If that's how Brazilians roll, its their business.
Intent, usually. People tend not to realize they can reveal their GPS location down to the centimeter when uploading a candid phone shot to Facebook, so the major services tend to strip off anything that's not the image itself. (Less bandwidth, as a bonus.)
Will Claude Take over ChatGPT?
Claude is now miles ahead of ChatGPT. The free version of Claude delivers much better answers than even the ChatGPT-4 Pro version. Is this a sign that Claude might soon become the leading AI model?
I would rather a software product be eventually open source than use a never open source license, but I still try not to use it if I can choose open source. And I refuse to sign CLA's that require giving more eights than the license grants to me, and won't sponsor projects that require them. (with some limited, carefully considered exceptions for well established open source foundations that require CLAs, but that have sufficient gornance to add trust)
If someone dies alone at 85, those children could be in their 60s too.
I was involved with two projects to digitise 20,000 hours each of analog audio and video: I built the database to select the tapes to digitise and manage their destruction. One was in the late 2000s the other 2020s.

One of the challenges for the project was finding working 1-inch analog video machines. The team scoured the world for machines, working or not, and managed to get several running. There is one particular part that fails, Sony only has a handful left and the machinery to make them is no longer available. When they are gone the media will be unplayable.

The data complexity was due in part to there being multiple version of various quality, a program can be split across multiple tapes, and tapes can have multiple programs. So they need to ensure that all tapes of the best versions were selected, and also know what parts of other programs were on the tapes – bonus material. Finally, it was common to re-use video tapes to save money so it was possible that rare fragments of other material could be found at the end of the expected programs.
This is exactly what happened in California recently with Net Metering 3.0 -- the utilities cut the value of the electrons you export back onto the grid, and they even broke that value out into a supply chunk and a transmission & distribution (which effectively cuts the total export value even more because they argued that the marginal electron is worth a tiny amount as far as the t&d line items go).

What's happening in California is new rooftop solar doesn't pencil out unless you pair it with batteries (ie you self-consume all your excess), and even then it gets iffy.

There's also the trend where operators charge fixed costs for connectivity. So even if you self-consume everything, you still pay $15-$50/mo just for the connection. That gets trickier because it punishes low-usage users like apartment dwellers and small households because that looks the same as a solar house that self-consumes most of their electricity.

yes, exactly!

and charges were not pursued.

you'd expect the documents surrounding that to be shared in that case too. but alas...

the specialist doctor says it's highly unlikely anything was added to the IV.

i'm obviously not saying "there's no crime", i'm saying that it makes sense to treat it with suspicion even though I got really hooked on the writing. as such, what's it doing on HN? I'm not sure it gratifies one's intellectual curiosity, it's gossip and emotions.
Data Analytics with Kotlin Notebooks, DataFrame, and Kandy
Except that many engineering types don't work that way. Cars are freedom? In what way? What - specifically - can they do for my freedom? And what - specifically - makes this car better? How can I know that it will do all the car things I want it to?

I've bought many cars in my life, and only once have I bought one without spending months beforehand digging through specs to find the best set of possible cars for my use case: a 1970 Opel GT came up on Craigslist, and I had fun fixing it up and then drove it across America. Actually, I already knew all about them, so I'm not sure if this qualifies as no-research...

I still remember one car purchasing occasion where I demurred because they were asking too much and I was trying to decide if another cheaper option would serve my needs. Then the sales guy said "Well, maybe it's just too much car for you." I said "You know what? You're probably right. Thanks for your advice!" and never went there again.
not everybody can afford the mental health cost of talking to their parents.
Also the analogy just really breaks at the seam we’re examining because a reasonable and obvious answer would be “I like the pies you get from this one”, which isn’t a great answer if you’re talking about software. And recipes are a lot simpler than software, so your friend could just look at the two recipes and quickly see how they’re different.
It's not just maintaining a connection to the grid, it's maintaining the generating assets on the grid that you sometimes use.
Better title would be: Don't show your pie to losers on a website; feed it to the hungry.
I want to disagree with many commenters here saying "Just work on your willpower".

I think that OP's correct. Yes, you can and you need to work on it. But why should you go the hard way only for the sake of hardship? If you need help, then rely on it in the meantime.

Willpower's limited resource.
These are nice. Still IMO the real value was moving from the CAPEX column to the OPEX column.
Or CPUs really. Die shrinks just aren't giving the advantages they once used to.

You can see this in the fact that RISC-V and ARM architectures have caught up with x86 performance even though x86 has had a decade long head start and billions more invested in development.

We are quickly approaching a weird space. Barring some major innovations, you are likely to see that 10 year old equipment remains competitive with brand new products in terms of performance.
If baking a pie isn't a craft then I don't know what is. Do you believe there is no skill involved with baking a pie?
Man this is sad … I think I’ve been visiting this site for its entire lifetime. AnandTech has always been the best place for unbiased, deeply technical looks at hardware and it will be greatly missed
Why would you do it for every tab switch? You do it once to fit your preferred width and all websites adjust. You would probably have a shortcut for that in your window manager.

There was a great time at some point in the past where everyone went all in on responsive design and most websites behaved well, what we have nowadays is a regression in usability (at least for power users).
> The decline in crime since the early 1990s is actually a major area of study for criminologists, because there is no easy explanation for it. All categories have decline, however they are measured, and in 30 years the field has not come up with an explanation that can account for all the observed facts.

Counterpoint:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead%E2%80%93crime_hypothesis

https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2016/02/lead-exposur...

The lead-crime hypothesis has the advantage over many other theories that it explains the global drop in crime, not just that in a particular nation or municipality.

> It's like having getting 100 books out of a bookshelf and reading them all at once.

No, it's like having a bookshelf, period. How many books on yours have you actually read? How many you put there with intent to read, which never materialized? People are reluctant to admit it, but at least for me and those I know personally, 90%+ books they own are either waiting to be read (or re-read), or should've been long ago disposed of, but it's kind of a shame to throw away/give away a good book - surely you'll get to it soon!

Literally the same thing with browser tabs, except it's digital (i.e. easier to acquire, easier to forget about).
Claude Sonnet was awesome at launch. It became much dumber over the last two weeks. There must be behind the scene throttling going on as it got more popular.
Only embedded systems? At least in Italy, ISPs have enabled VoLTE (voice over LTE) just a couple of years ago and I don't know how well-supported it is by phones. I wouldn't be surprised if the vast majority of calls still happens over GSM (3G networks have been dismantled already, here).
Exactly as the sibling said, you would have nothing to program for because nobody would no you exist. You don't randomly search for Reggy, the product I made. But now you know about it because I just told you. All advertising is, is telling people you exist. You can do that by posting your spec manuals, making memes, making a landing page or a website, whatever you want.

I don't think this is entirely true. We certainly look down on marketing fluff and playing on emotions, but I certainly appreciate well-made marketing material full of facts and specs.
Wow the end of an era. I first heard about it at Cal through college roommates. I haven’t used it much lately but still.. sad to see it go.
You can do it using PIO. I did that for emulating memory stick slave on rp2040. One PIO SM plus two dma channels with chained descriptors. XOR is achieved using any io reg you don’t need, with 0x3000 offset (manual mentions this as the XOR alias)

This is generalizable to "know your audience" and "meet people where they are at".

Generic sales people who are good at appealing to the emotional in their target demographic will only go so far when the audience is specialized in a field. That's not to say those people are completely immune to emotional tricks. But if that's the only way the salesperson tries to connect, they will have a hard time getting through.

I'm not a salesperson but I witnessed a coworker who was insanely good at selling our Healthcare SaaS product, and the way he connected with his target audience didn't feel sales-y at all. In fact, he genuinely cared about finding a solution for the people he was selling to. He believed in our customers and knew our product was going to help them in their goals—even with the warts & bugs we had.

Not OP, but Firefox didn't have to lose nearly all its market share to Chrome. Mozilla could have course corrected and righted the ship, but instead they got distracted on dozens of unrelated and often controversial projects and ended up burning most of their credibility.

Mozilla is a husk of what it could have been, and that's hurt Firefox.
That’s how their elite roll.

This is why I've never taken a coding job despite having played with code since I was a toddler (I'm 36 now). To me, coding is a creative endeavor and I just cannot do creative things for pay/on a deadline. It's the same reason I prefer not to write fiction for money.
A Phased Approach for Leading DevRel Community Initiatives
The main incentive for maintainers of open source software is to see many happy users of this software. Most open source maintainers do not care about monetizing their products (or the monetization has very low priority).

That's why most open source maintainers use truly open-source licenses for their software - BSD, MIT, Apache2, and they will be happy if Amazon, Google or Microsoft builds successful product on top of their open-source software, since this gives them the desired recognition.
You'd charge administering a poison, s23 or s24 of the Offences Against The Person Act 1861, if there is a realistic prospect of conviction, and the prosecution will need to prove beyond reasonable doubt that a) the wife administered it and b) intended to cause harm or did cause harm.
