On one side, an army of HN commenters: “Repeat after me. Don’t build on someone else’s platform.”

On the other side, Mr Beast:

> Your goal here is to make the best YOUTUBE videos possible. That’s the number one goal of this production company. It’s not to make the best produced videos. Not to make the funniest videos. Not to make the best looking videos. Not the highest quality videos.. It’s to make the best YOUTUBE videos possible. Everything we want will come if we strive for that. Sounds obvious but after 6 months in the weeds a lot of people tend to forget what we are actually trying to achieve here.
Interesting to see Ocutech pop up on HN!

I've used one of their manual ones for years and it made a huge difference for me in being able to view presentations and lectures while also taking notes. However, the experience is not like traditional bifocals, it's like having a small telescope stuck to your glasses (because of course that's what it is). The telescope has a relatively narrow field of view as you'd expect, and is only visible to one eye. Frankly I don't understand how folks can use these while driving or moving around.
You don't have to rent the tools from Apple. Apple will happily sell you just the battery and rent or sell as many or as few of the tools as you like. If you want to use the tools the professionals are going to use, you have that option. If you want to "shade tree mechanic" it, you're welcome to buy just the parts and follow their teardown process with your own tools, or follow someone like iFixit's teardown process with your tools and Apple's battery. And there's nothing wrong with doing it with "non-professional" tools. DIY car enthusiasts have been working with make shift alternatives to professional multi thousand dollar tools forever. Surely the DIY tech enthusiast isn't above the equivalent of tensioning your alternator with a 2x4 right?
Thanks. Any testers welcome.

Or some other number-theoretic advance that is significantly below exponential time on the particular type of field or curve being used.

The reason that we use elliptic curves these days, or if we must then something like 8k bit keys to get 128 bits of security over finite fields, is that for the old Z^*_q/Z_p setup, such a faster algorithm exists (index calculus).

Someone could in theory find a better calculus that works only for groups with some specific characteristics of Curve25519, for example. No quantum computers needed.

EDIT: we know that no _generic_ faster algorithm exists, that is one independent of the representation of the group involved, for the traditional computing model. But that doesn't exclude algorithms, as I said above, that work for very particular cases.
Interestingly, that used to be true, but in the past few years some regulations have gone into effect regarding sulfur emissions in cargo ships.

I think that was probably a good thing in the long run, but there's some evidence that the sulfur particulate matter was "hiding" some of the warming we "should" have been seeing based on our CO2 emissions, because global warming has spiked a bit as sulfur has decreased.

thanks I didn't know that, I typed yen into XE.com's input and it suggested 3 currencies, Japanese first, it was a bit dark and didn't have my glasses so I didn't see that Chinese was Chinese Yuan, I had a minor memory that China also used "Yen" as name of their currency, from some time in high school I suppose, and so I took it as being that.

One suggestion was also Yemen so probably the input has some Levenshtein distance awareness to it
There is way too much free entertainment these days. That's the most underrated difference in the world between now and 40 years ago. The change is even more dramatic for people who live in developing countries where TVs were rare 40 years ago.

I also think this is why traditional opera and the symphony are failing. People have too much entertainment.
I was fully expecting to read a load of nonsense, but it chimes quite a lot with military training, which shouldn't actually be that surprising.

I think most definitions of journalistic quality would argue this is a decrease in quality.
Or, in a nutshell, Buddhism says consciousness isn't continuous - it's pulse-width modulated[0].

There's many things in life that can be modeled this way, and I kind of forgot about this insight until your comment. I guess this is the flip side of the "refrigerator light error"[1] - sometime the thing isn't "on", it's flickering too fast to notice.

(And the way you get that "unification" is like the way RGB LEDs are made: by putting three differently colored LED close to each other, PWM-ing them independently, relying on limited temporal and spatial resolution of human perception to make this looks like arbitrarily-colored point light.).

--

[0] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-width_modulation

[1] - How's that even a thing? I don't even remember thinking this way as a kid, because the first fridge-light-related memory I have is of opening the fridge doors slowly and gently enough to see the point at which the light turns on, then locating the switch and pressing it with my fingers to confirm.
Well, there isn't just one network. There are many local area networks, corporate wide area networks, the academic fiber Internet2 (https://internet2.edu/network/), the cell phone networks, the plain old telephone service networks, different radio networks, etc.

There are often interconnects between some of them, and some of them do go over the public internet part of the time, but there are also parts of them that aren't accessible from the public internet.

"The" internet is a network of networks – by definition, it is the inter-network net that connects a bunch of other networks together into one interconnected mass. We have it that way because it's useful. Before the internet was popular, having small private networks that you'd connect to over the phone or T1 was common, but people naturally found it useful to be able to connect to others all around the world.

The second half of your question is more talking about applications (or protocols, if you prefer) over that network than the network itself. It's like how our roads and networks are structured... there's an interstate network of highways that connects different cities and states together, but each state can also manage its own smaller highways, and each county or city might have even smaller local roads, and of course some businesses and communities will have their own private roads that the public can't access. But through that shared road network, you can transport everything from passengers to food to goods, on everything from a semi-trucks to bicycles.

Similarly, even if we limit it to just the public internet, it's a collection of a smaller interconnected networks, and different applications and protocols can go over that shared network to do different things:

- Gopher is still around if you want a text-only network, or you can look for the odd surviving Usenet/IRC server.

- Trustworthy ecommerce: Well, that's more a market incentives & regulations question than a network one. There's no magical technology solution to ensure someone won't rip you off. But you can already buy from reputable dealers (i.e. not shady third-party Amazon vendors) and you'll probably be fine.

- There are various semi-private communities that form de facto subnets even though they're transported over the bigger internet, things like every separate blockchain, or Freenet/Hyphanet, TOR sites, or even just Discord, Whatsapp, Slack, Line, etc.

At the end of the day, it's really expensive to drag fiber across the ocean floors or launch satellites, and it would be crazy if every business, organization, and household had to run their own cables. Instead, they can all share that basic infrastructure, but have a lot of freedom as to how they use it (subject to local laws and international agreements, I guess, or else bypassing them with encryption & steganography).

I may be sounding like "get off my lawn" guy right now but should there be some realization that these people are a cultural analogue of if not heroin than at least cigarettes? They are making a good living from making things objectively worse in a society by tickling the base instincts of the addicts. I am not calling for government intervention or any of such BS but is it too much for me to expect at least some cultural pushback here?

That's actually 1/CTR.

I remember the first company I worked for. We had many different offices around the city and nearby cities. In every office we had several HP printers, same model. Everything worked fine until HP pushed an updated and on the same day, all the printers stopped working due the ink cartridges not being HP.

We then bought Brother printers with laser instead of ink and as far as I know, they are still working right now after maybe 10 years.

Lesson learned.
Hopefully you've already come across myopic defocus lenses and low dose atropine in your reading about myopia. Overfocus in peripheral vision is a known trigger of myopia progression.

> Overeating calorie dense junk food isn’t the same thing as overeating carrot sticks and you rarely hear about problems coming from the latter.

Perhaps that's because "overeating carrot sticks" is a strong indicator of being in danger of starvation? People just don't overeat this kind of food if they have tastier, more calorie-dense food available.
I highly recommend checking out this podcast with Peter Levels : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFtjKbXKqbg With the rise of AI and automation tools, solo developers now have more 'brain' and 'production power' at their disposal, allowing them to tackle more complex projects without needing a big team.

It might give you some insights into how to approach your project and how to leverage AI tools to enhance your development process. Definitely worth a listen!

My cousin literally went to school for water filtration stuff, grew up in a family of farmers and worked out graywater solutions for their farms and is now working as a septic engineer, maybe not 100% in the role he wants to do but certainly in the ballpark.

But obviously some jobs are going to be worse than others, but what matters is people's tolerance and increased compensation. People work crazy dangerous jobs on oil rigs because of the pay. They aren't forced to do it. The economics would just rejigger such that harder more necessary jobs pay more while easier jobs pay less. There has already been a shift the past few decades where plumbers and other blue collar jobs are bringing in more attractive salaries by lack of workers, so more kids are choosing those careers now (especially with the stupidity of higher ed costs).

I wouldn't be against plumbers and electricians making more than finance and tech bros. Sounds like a better rebalancing of societal needs, honestly.
Yeah this hit hard for me as well.

I’ve studiously avoided building on platforms, but very different mindset to decided to be the best player on that platform.

ACE score of 5. I turned out badly. Rich, but badly. Just ask any of the data faking cheating scientists I channeled my trauma into exposing who got me kicked out of academia. But that's how I got rich. Money changes everything.

You will never feel safe. You will instead build a life, a portfolio, and a network of friends as a surrogate for feeling safe. And you can trust my words, I'm shadowbanned.
A wallet address (where money is sent to) is the public key hashed. This money can than be spent with a transaction containing both the signature and the public key.

This is one of the reasons it is advised never to reuse an address. After using it once, your private key may still be private but your public key is exposed, reducing security.
Losses due to theft
Once you have the private key, you would submit a transaction with that private key and authorize a transaction to a public key that you control, and doesn't have part of the private key available.

You don't need the public key, and IIRC most algorithms allow you to derive the public key from the private key, though I'm not sure that's the case with Bitcoin. I have vague memories that there are algorithms where this is not that case, but it's been a while.
Powerful hardware can help innovate in areas other than pretty graphics, but they're not taking those risks, and I'm pointing out that powerful hardware is mostly on the GPU side, but it doesn't have to be that way. Games could take advantage of powerful CPUs, but at the moment you just need a powerful GPU for the most part. CPUs would be needed for game logic and mechanics, but since there isn't a ton of innovation in that area then it hasn't been a requirement for games. At the same time GPUs could be leveraged for things other than graphics like AI based animations to allow for generative animations, etc.

> I want you to look them in the eyes and tell them they are the bottleneck and take it a step further and explain why they are the bottleneck so you both are on the same page. “Tyler, you are my bottleneck. I have 45 days to make this video happen and I can not begin to work on it until I know what the contents of the video is. I need you to confirm you understand this is important and we need to set a date on when the creative will be done.” […] Every single day you must check in on Tyler and make sure he is still on track to hit the target date.

This sounds to me a lot like the idea in software engineering of being “blocked on” something. I wonder what jargon other fields use for the same concept. Could be cool to have a table cross-referencing jargon across fields, haha.
Komorebi has had tabbed stacks for a while, but since the overwhelming majority of users interact with the tiling window manager via their keyboards and not their mice, the only mouse interaction with tabs that has been implemented so far is click-to-focus.

we had a 20 TB ballpark (so I would guess many tens or even hundreds of billions of rows for sure) postgres database at a place I worked in ~2015, hosted on-prem, I don't recall it causing them too much hassle, main thing I remember was the server had an very large amount of RAM (512GB which was loads and loads back then), and lots (for the time) of cores, something like 16, but was otherwise a fairly standard ~£50k ballpark piece of HP kit.

ACE of 7, labelled as "gifted" as some point but was somehow talked out of pursuing accelerated education programs by a parent, grew increasingly disenchanted with the education system but managed to get my shit together enough to make it into a top-tier university program until family issues re-emerged and I ended up dropping out.

Still made it out OK as a homeowner with no student debt, but between the first 20-odd years of my life spent limping along and trying to pick up the pieces from my "adverse childhood" and another 4 or so odd years of pandemic lockdown, it feels like much of my early life was taken from me against my will.

I am satisfied with my achievements in spite of my tumultuous upbringing. That being said there will always be an undercurrent of "wasted potential" or "what if" I had the fortune of more fortuitous life circumstances.

As a sidebar I also am absolutely apoplectic with the blatantly sexist assumption in one of the ACE questions that it is the father who physically abuses the mother or threatens them with a weapon, but given that this is NPR I am not surprised.
Hmm, I spent some time thinking about this comment, and I still don't get your point. Does my bias invalidate my claim? I mean I don't have any hard evidence that this is happening, but from a historical point is makes sense to me. If you disagree, it would be helpful to point out why, rather than to call out my bias.
Perhaps you misunderstand my comment.

I am referring to the specific case of the tutorial, where second box is exactly on top of first box. By design, there is no overlap and there is no gap, just a continuum of solid.

However, such continuum of solid can't be declared with exact coordinates in OpenSCAD, and instead one has to add intentional error to coordinates so that the solids overlap and the continuity is guaranteed.
- Managed everything, not just the form builder WYSIWYG, but also the hosted form itself, confirmation emails, reports browser, etc. Like Google Forms / SurveyMonkey / Alchemer.

- Easy integration with JS frameworks and styling. If you're targeting devs, I'd love to be able to import your package on npm and have a basic form ready to go, but each component should be customizable and styleable (like https://mui.com/material-ui/react-text-field/)

- Basically, I'd love to be able to use a WYSIWYG to compose the form, define validations, etc., but then be able to take that drop it into my existing React/Vue/Svelte frontend, and style it and modify components as necessary. But once they click "submit", then it sends it directly to your API with AJAX, the user gets a confirmation (both on-screen and via email), and then later on I can go to a hosted forms dashboard to see all the submissions, export them to a spreadsheet, ideally run some basic analytics on them, etc.
Is there any way I can find where this topic information is stored? I presume it's a SQLite database in the profile folder, like the cookies and history.
