1.25g x 0.6 fill % (very high % / generous in my view) is still 0.75g, on par with a hard wood.

But density to me is not what I'd look at. If you could have something twice heavy but that was 100x stronger as a structural material, that obviously would be an epic win.

Maybe it's less dense, but a lot of van builds use a lot of 2x4's or other fairly bulky wood. My hope is that the volume of the structure is much much less with good 3d printing.

Building a layer cake of cc'ed thin wood panels would probably work, sure. It feels like a specific skill, a specific technique. Part of what's neat about 3d printing is that the manufacturing skills are transferable, that you can laterally apply it quickly to all kinds of problems, without trapping with a specific set of constraints (additive wood paneling requiring some CNC skills, some gluing/affixing panel skills). I get the appeal.

Design can be a perk. That people can shape their own ideas & forms is an enticing offer. We struggle right now to imagine our 8 year old with a metaball editor like truSpace designing our camper vans or our house furniture. The barrier isn't low enough. But I think there is a joy people would have widdling and carving & nudging the forms in the world about them. We don't really have the open design systems to play freely yet; that hinders the creative flow suggested by this article. Especially if we can just throw our bench into the hopper and rebuild it (after 4 days of printing, lol), and with some solid starting places & high level editor software (VR painting, anyone?), some people would relish being able to craft their world. Design can be a joy.

And yet people on HN keep downvoting me for supporting Elon doing this. I don’t get the people here. Remove Elon from equation, imagine it’s your company.
Thanks. I will try that.

(I want to run Open Drone Map on Ubuntu desktop. ODM is a collection of image processing software from OpenCV and similar sources loosely bolted together to merge aerial photos from drones into a 3D model. So it has the install from hell unless containerized. ODM had a snap version, but the snap maintainer left the project.)
Your point only stands when the percentages are exaggerated. What if it were 99.99 vs 99.999? Let's not forget cosmic ray bitflips. Just because the two machines operate at different levels of probabalistic exactitiude, does not mean they are not both machines.

Do you really think modern computers are fully deterministic at the lowest levels?
It's not 100% Musk owned, so I got curious if the other owners could boot Musk over this, but Wikipedia says ownership is "Elon Musk (42% equity; 79% voting control)". Could Musk be vulnerable to a suit alleging he is unduly benefiting another company he owns instead of the interests of SpaceX?
Fair enough in this particular case because they’re using it ontologically, but in general, you kinda gotta define terms if you want to engage in scientific discourse. Computation (and the corresponding synthesis, calculation) are slippery to be sure, but I didn’t even notice the definition it was so uncontroversial. It’s nothing like defining “person” or “consciousness” or “ego” up top, which is just as necessary (if you insist on using them) but about 100x more futile!
> PredictionHealth is currently not hiring in the following states: CA, DC, MT, HI, or NY

This really ought to be included in the comment, since it excludes a large portion of potential applicants.
Pretty sure you can be anti-authoritarian and mentally ill at the same time. It's assuming the latter from the former and nothing else that is the problem.
TIL the origin of the term "cutover" for IT migrations. Fascinating!
"intellectual" evolution seems composed of selecting a bias, then selecting a bias within that bias, and so on.

It's a terribly reductive process. And the foundation of biases is deep and invisible.

Moving in the opposite direction would reveal a lot.

Door handles loved to take them too. You could try to make the cord taut to reduce snagging but then turning your head or sitting down would pull them out. And I often had issues with cord noise from the cable rubbing against clothing.

I was glad when wireless headphone sound quality and battery life became good enough and was more than happy to use them over higher end IEMs.
Comment on the documentation/README more than anything - I couldn't find anywhere a list of specific languages supported. That's a pretty important data point for any speaker of an African language hoping to use this IME. If the library supports only Amhari and Ge'ez (the only two languages mentioned specifically) it's extremely important to a Wolof or Swahili speaker to know that when evaluating if the IME is in a usable state for them.
> Further, we want to spare the dev-experience of using WHERE clauses

A laudable goal, but one which is easily solved at library level, or at the "infrastructure code" level. I've been doing this across a range of databases for several years.
It's factually correct. Regardless of inferred or real motivations the legal devices in place are clear and easy to follow.

X refused to comply with court order. That would not fly in the US either.

Court issues fine and threatens further action.

X closes the office in Brazil to keep ignoring rulings.

Court gives ultimatum for obeying the order or appoint legal representative in the country.

Starlink is grouped as part of the same "economic group" and has its accounts frozen. This is the most arguable decision here so far. Still most agree it would be issued anyways but more steps were necessary for that. It's not about who owns but about who controls it.

After the end of the ultimatum period, court order the blocking of X to every ISP operating in Brazil.

Starlink shoots itself in the foot and refuses the order proving they're not as separate to X as some argue.

Next episodes to follow.

Even their tactic here is weird. "Were not gonna follow court orders until our accounts are unfrozen" instead of complying and properly appealing. They appealed using the wrong process and the judge itself wrote that it was weirdly on purpose because they admitted that they knew the right procedure but seem to want to collect bad decisions to garner sympathy
Why is it called a Terminal "Emulator"?
If you are parsing awk, you must treat any ream of whitespace that contains a newline as a visible token, which you have to reference in various places in the grammar. Your implementation will likely benefit from a switch, in the lexical analyzer, which sometimes turns off the visible newline.
and about remembering stuff. When I want to remember something, I read it some time before sleeping. After reading I remember nothing, but after waking up it magically appears in my memory. Very useful
Hard to know why people downvote, but I just want to reiterate how ridiculous it is for someone to make a claim, provide no data or other evidence, admit they have never personally observed this and finish it off with "do your own research" when someone questions it. It seems like a completely indefensible position to me but if you have a rational argument why we should believe the claim I'm open to it. It just has to have substance. Nothing to do with solipsism, it's just common sense. It would be stupid to simply believe every random thing people write online, don't you think?
At this point I would highly highly recommend uv as the starting point for stuff like this. As of the 0.3.0 release it now handles installing python for you as well as all the regular pip stuff and venv management/setup.

I'd also point to a lack of third spaces for everyone from kids to elderly folks. Parents wait in a line of cars to drop their kids off at school, then pick them up in the same line of cars to drive them home.

Maybe replacing malls and diners with social media and fortnite isn't the best thing we could be doing.
For me, the primary draw of OrbStack is that it is very fast, which matters for me, as I wind up doing a lot of compute-bound things in containers. The fact that it provides a great dev experience similar to WSL2 is just a bonus.
> remember that gene expression is a molecular process, and like all molecular processes, it is inherently stochastic, given that it takes place in an environment that is subject to the chaotic dynamics of Brownian motion

Wait until you hear about quantum effects in microprocessors!

I think when somebody says "machine", a lot of people just think victorian steam engines. Machines can cover a lot more. In fact in the future we will build devices that do work similar to what's going on in the cells, and these devices will have to obey the same laws of physics - they too will wiggle and randomly do weird things, but on average, they will do what we intend for them to do.

A machine can be arbitrarily complicated.
Conceptually Fortress (if I understood it right) is like if you have a variable postgres_hosts looking like this:

postgres_hosts['local'] = {host: localhost, user: 'abcd', password: DECRYPT_AES('defh'), dbname: 'base'}
postgres_hosts['customer1'] = {host: prod1, user: 'saas_panel', password: DECRYPT_AES('pwdpanel'), dbname: 'base'}
postgres_hosts['customer2'] = {host: prod2, user: 'saas_panel', password: DECRYPT_AES('pwdpanel'), dbname: 'base'}

postgres_connection = connect(postgres_hosts[customer_id])

What Fortress does is maintaining that list of hosts for you:

postgres_hosts = fetch('http://api.fortress.../{api_key}/postgres_hosts')

When you want to create a new customer in your system, you call fortress.create_tenant, and from their backend they will use your GCP/AWS credentials to create a new host and add it to the list (correct me if I'm wrong)

So in theory you could have only 'local' as a host in your .env.development file, and enable Fortress for production mode
Glad to hear that you like it! Yup that's the process. Titles are in a relational db and fetched titles for a rhyme are stored in redis to speed up queries after the first one.
What are some best practices for portability of passkeys?

I've built me a little password manager (namely https://github.com/conradkleinespel/rooster) and wonder if I could make it support passkeys, at least as a backup solution to the likes of 1Password.

While I totally get the usefulness of passkeys, I feel like having a backup of some sort is needed, in case the device breaks, gets stolen, etc.

I think the flagship manufacturers' approach has always been to find the two or three things consumers will pay most for and aggressively optimise for them. So phones got thinner, cameras and screens got progressively better, for a few generations at least. Other features that got in the way and didn't add a huge amount to the phone's mass market appeal got dropped.

It will certainly be interesting to see how the manufacturers continue to find ways to differentiate themselves. Right now, unsurprisingly, all the hype seems to be focused around AI. So possibly future phones will be ruthlessly optimised for running LLM models. But if, instead, the phone manufacturers just decide to use cloud-hosted AI (or if the hype around AI dies down), then they'll need something else. The foldable form factor is the only other one that occurs to me right now.

Do you mean inversely? I’m not sure I see the connection.

Norway is an oil country, and has a huge EV adoption rate. Though to be fair it’s also one of the few oil countries that have managed to keep its oil/gas industry from taking over its whole economy. It’s not exactly Qatar. Still. The fossil fuel interests are strong in the government

Netherlands has a high adoption rate but is a fairly mixed economy at this point.

China is not an oil/gas country. It’s critically dependent on Middle Eastern oil supplies. And it’s also a leader in EV adoption.

So you’ve got both sides of the spectrum here, and the middle.
I’ve seen this posted a few times in the last 24 hours across multiple platforms, and every time I’ve clicked the link the site has been down.

And of course this is the only platform applauding the site for its underlying infrastructure. :)
Funny that you would make such an absolute — dare I say authoritarian — statement on a complicated and complex matter like this.

I rather advocate for a healthcare system that attempts to help the patient, where and how it is necessary, to the patient's best achievable benefit. Sometimes that might be medication, sometimes it might be telling them that there's nothing wrong with them and society just doesn't know how to deal with them.

And let's not kid ourselves. A good amount of society at large is a very poor fit for a good amount of people, and should probably change too.
Formal | Founding Software Engineer (Compilers, Networking) | REMOTE | Full-Time | >= $200k + 2% equity

We're rethinking the computing stack from the ground up for truly elastic, soundly isolated, instantly and globally available execution. We’re building OS interfaces and compilers for low overhead, formally verified isolation without containers or VMs. We're starting with the network: a programming language to replace eBPF and enable globally programmable networking as a service.

We are VC-funded ($700k pre-seed), advised by professors from MIT and UWaterloo, and founded by ex-Stanford PhDs. There are two official roles, but we welcome conversations with anyone interested in joining the team.

Ask HN: Resources for GPU Compilers?
Hi folks, I've done some cpu compilers for x86, RISC-V, LLVM (mostly for fun and some for profit). I'm eager to learn more about GPU/TPU compilers and have been looking into Triton and XLA. What resources would be useful to learn HPC and/or gpu compilers in depth (or any adjacent areas)?

Any such books, courses etc will be much appreciated.
It’s challenging. There’s not a lot of good information out there, and made worse by polyhybridization, which creates unstable results from seed. I have started using thin layer chromatography kits on occasion, which provide some level of cannabinoid testing.

In general, I would recommend getting outside of mainstream strains and looking into heirlooms and landraces. Strains I’ve found to be “low potency” are either low cannabinoid (not much resin content) or hemp (little to no THC). Strains that have not been farmed and are collected from wild populations are difficult to grow and are probably only for people who are curious about the genetic extremes of the plant.

Inbred lines originating from hash cultures are a good place to start. American heirlooms from the 60s-80s are another good option. In the US, “CSI Humboldt” offers a number of options, or “authentic genetics”. For the more adventurous, the real seed company collects many heirlooms and wild accessions; however they are based outside the US.

As a general recipe, if you grow a cbd hemp strain and pollinate it with an thc monocannabinoid strain, then the first generation will yield roughly equal parts THC and CBD, while inbreeding the line will create substantial variation that needs to be stabilized through selection. Virtually all of the marketed cannabis has been repeatedly outcrossed, and the seed lines are highly variable (except in cannabinoids because of repeated THC selection). So commercial strains are selected from clones and mother plants are maintained to create a uniform product.

> but they're dangerously over-reductive

I never used to understand this position, until I saw right wing snowflakes getting triggered over a woman looking too manly at the Olympics. They confidently explained XX and XY to whomever would read their little meltdowns, and even rode back on their usual line that genitals determine gender - suddenly they care about hormone levels.

So I'm having to come around to the idea that over-reductive can be a real thing. Although I'm not sure that the sort of dumdum that dive off the deep end with these things would do any better.

How do you 3d print conductors?
Read Gadamer’s Warheit und Methode (unless you have a pathological aversion to continental philosophy in any form). All understanding is hermeneutic and thus infinitely wheeling us around the hermeneutic circle. It’s the entry-point (without an exit) to answering Plato’s questions about questions. It’s how we learn and deepen language understanding. It’s how we interpret texts. It’s how science works, except that science enshrines its Methode as a sine qua non. It’s how we come to understand other people and why we can be continually surprised (or not!) by them.

The real shame is that academic fashion jerked violently in the direction of Derrida and company in the mid-to-late-60s before anyone had time to really dwell with and appreciate the power of Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics. His masterpiece was only published in 1960, when he himself was 60! It’s a mature and deep reflection on themes he had been studying for 40 years. Ricoeur grasped its power, of course, but the whole Habermasian-Derridan-Foucauldian critical project flavored Ricoeur’s approach. Richard Rorty gestured in similar directions, with less depth (and certainly far less phenomenological power).

But invest the time to read Gadamer. It’s worth it.
