Different tech for sure.

But I have global entry which is all done through facial recognition now (and matching to passenger manifests). No passport needed. The camera they used was just a normal DSLR, but it had no problem matching me.

The tech is getting really good.

In Singapore you can enter through automated gates without ever interacting with a person or showing a passport. All through facial recognition if they have a photo on file (citizens and permanent residents).

I assume the tech will get good enough to scan entire crowds very quickly and identify everyone.

What software did you use to set all this up? Kindof interested in giving this a shot myself.
My favourite along these lines is that the mass vs diameter relation for black holes scales in such a way that we are absolutely in a black hole right now according to current theory. As in the current mass of the universe is enough for a black hole with an event horizon diameter that extends beyond the universe.
> in the real world such stars would collide in the center of the sphere and possibly form a black hole

Yes, the article mentions that towards the end.
“The update failed on 200 desktops.”

“Performance is crap when running BlahBlah Management Suite.”

As much as I appreciate everything the Internet Archive does for humanity in general and myself in particular, I can see why some may take umbrage at 'allowing an unlimited number of people to access the same copies of E-books'. When a library purchases a book for the purposes of lending it out that doesn't grant the library a license to make unlimited copies of the book to lend out to anyone, after all.

I also don't get why people are making a big deal out of this, the IA basically shot themselves in the foot here. It's so obvious: if you let unlimited people lend the book, the publishers are gonna throw a fit. Just stick to the 1 book, 1 loan paradigm; that's what libraries do. If you want to loan unlimited copies, get permission from the copyright holder, if they say 'no', then the answer is 'no'.
It just struck me that Three Thousand Years of Longing is a movie about telling stories, the tradition and power of myth.
By refusing to hold the conference in Tanzania, the organizers aren't just sending a message to the government; they're effectively punishing the entire Tanzanian populace. The vast majority of citizens, who neither crafted these laws nor have the power to change them, are deprived of the opportunities such an event would bring—educational advancement, economic benefits, cultural exchange. It's a form of collective punishment that mirrors the very oppression it claims to oppose.

Your approach operates on a simplistic moral binary, failing to recognize the complex socio-political fabric of nations. It assumes that by isolating a country, one can coerce it into moral compliance. History tells us otherwise. Isolation often entrenches regimes, hardens attitudes, and exacerbates suffering among the general population.

Moreover, there's an ironic arrogance in this stance. It presumes that external actors have the moral authority—and the practical ability—to enforce change through deprivation. It's a performative gesture that achieves little beyond self-congratulatory validation for those making the decision. Meanwhile, the marginalized groups within Tanzania receive no tangible benefit; in fact, they may find themselves in an even more precarious position due to reduced international engagement.

Furthermore, it's striking how obsessively fixated some are on this minority group, to the point where any notion of compromise becomes inconceivable. Your reactionary stance is so inflexible that you can't even entertain the idea that perhaps speakers outside this minority could present at the conference, thus navigating around any legal complications. Unless, of course, you're implicitly admitting that the majority of potential contributors belong to this minority. If that's the case, fine—but let's be transparent about it.

This one-dimensional focus reveals a deeper issue: an inability to see beyond a singular narrative, even when it results in counterproductive outcomes. By refusing to adapt, you not only hinder the event but also undermine opportunities for the broader community. It's a self-defeating approach that sacrifices practical progress on the altar of ideological purity. If the aim is truly to foster growth, education, and positive change, then rigid adherence to such a narrow perspective serves no one—not the minority in question, nor the wider population yearning for advancement.
Watching that seriously intensifies my imposter syndrome.

You can use llama.cpp, it runs on almost all hardware. Whisper.cpp is similar, but unless you have a mid or high end nvidia card it will be a bit slower.

Still very reasonable on modern hardware.
I would be greatly interested in knowing how you set all that up if you felt like sharing the specifics.
Garbage Collection Makes YSH Different
More than the stains, it is the smell that can be troublesome.

I am using a fairly pungent dish detergent, which keeps the bugs away, but every plastic vessel would readily absorb the scent, and I stopped wanting to store or eat anything in them.

Now, I avoid immersing any plastics in the sink until I'm ready to rinse immediately, so it's an extra step of labor, for the privilege of plastics.
Maybe this is going to shed more light on the subject? Looks like the coolant and 99% of fuel have been removed, maybe it's to also give more time to the radioactivity to subside.

Sure, but the only reason Linux wifi drivers are open source is that Linux was born at the start of the GNU movement and Linus picked the GPL. If he had picked a BSD license, or LGPL for drivers, then people would still get paid to write them but they wouldn't be open source. What you see nowadays is that the GPL is long since abandoned, I don't remember the last time I encountered an open source project that was GPL outside of the few big ones that survive from the 90s.

With respect to maintainers getting old, I guess your example is kind of on point. It used to be driven by ideology or the practical desire for a home UNIX. That motivated people to spend the long evenings alone working it out. Now it's driven by building a Twitch audience, and the hobbyist was even getting help!

I guess with respect to stealing Linux's thunder, I feel like that happened 20 years ago already. When MacOS X came out there was a long stream of people 'defecting' to it from the Linux community. It separated those who just wanted UNIX from those who had the ideology and a lot of the energy dissipated from Linux at that time.

Credit reporting and collections.

There's a reason carriers pull credit reports for post paid accounts and 'free' phone promos right?

Although, personally, I prefer to be on the prepaid side of the carrier. I'm not getting a promotional phone, and I'm not paying for it in my monthly rate, so if my phone works for more than two years, I'm saving money. And I don't really need to use secret handshake financing... I'd rather pay $17/month for my plan and pay for a phone when I need it.

That said, T-Mobile tried being the 'uncarrier' and charging fairer prices for service and financing phones directly, and it must not have worked as well as carrier norms because they reverted to secret handshake financing.
Kamal feels built around the premise that "Kubernetes is too complicated" (after Basecamp got burned by some hired help), and from that justification it goes out and recreates a sizable chunk of the things Kubernetes does.

Your list of things a reverse proxy might do is a good example to me of how I expect this to go: what starts out as an ambition to be simple inevitably has to grow & grow more of complexity it sought to avoid.

Part of me strongly thinks we need competition & need other things trying to create broad ideally extensible ways or running systems. But a huge part of me sees Kamal & thinks, man, this is a lot of work being done only to have to keep walking backwards into the complexity they were trying to avoid. Usually second system syndrome is the first system being simple the second being overly complicated, and on the tin the case is inverse, but man, the competency of Kube & it's flexibility/adaptability as being a framework for Desired State Management really shows through for me.
I was confused by this part of the article: For Marx, the poet of economics, when a person’s innate value is replaced with exchange value, it is as if we’ve been reduced to “a mere jelly.”

What's wrong with basing your worth on something like value provided professionally plus value provided personally, to myself and others?

Are we supposed to think that we are valuable (worth something) just because we exist?
> What's the difference between giving away a $1200 phone in exchange for a 2-year contract which costs $50 extra per month

That phone is generally not given away - the only phones "given away" are generally low end. $1200 flagship phones come at the cost of a contract on the line AND a monthly payment for the device that pays for it in full.

No, I rather like the fact my kids all have the same father, and all in wedlock, too.

Having lots of kids with different women is very common, especially in the lower classes, and not much of an achievement.

My dad has lots of half-siblings from three different mothers in total, and accordingly grew up without a father, and I very much did not want that for my own kids. Not even if it carried wealth and fame. I think you'll find if you ever have your own kids, two present parents cannot be wholly replaced with money.
Jack Ganssle’s The Embedded Muse covers tools and techniques in embedded development. In one article, he reported that 4-bit MCU’s were still competitive in some sectors:

https://www.ganssle.com/rants/is4bitsdead.htm

I suspected we’d see either 4- or 8-bit return for neural networks. IBM did try the kilocore processor which was a massively-parallel, 8-bit system. Multicore 4- and 8-bitters are also the kind thing people could build on cheaper nodes, like Skywater’s 130nm.

Omega 3 supplements are such a wild world. So many low quality ones, so many different types, and so many claims about them being miracle cures (that then don't hold out for later studies).

I have severe chronic dry eye, and omega 3 is one of the first things they recommend. But then in the past 5 or 6 years there have been a bunch of studies that have shown there is no actual measurable effect.

Some people still claim that it helps, but that you have to get it by actually eating Omega 3 rich fish, and not just taking the supplements. Either way, I've never seen any difference with my dry eye symptoms.
All other EV manufacturers have short records compared to Tesla. I also think Tesla is suffering from its own success. People are getting tired of the same designs and want to try something different. If not for extensive government BS, almost nobody would be buying EVs at all because they are impractical for most consumers.
I'd like to point out that llama 3.1 is not open source[1] (I was recently made aware of that fact by [2], when it was on HN front page)
While it's very nice to see a peak of interest for local, "open-weights" LLMs, this is an unfortunate choice of words, as it undermines the quite important differences between llama's license model and open-source.
The license question does not seem to be addressed at all in the article.

I'm not sure if this exactly what you're talking about, but I think it's important to be able to be content and calm while doing nothing. If not, it's a sign something is off with your mental health.

In very general terms, our brains are pretty good at finding ways to avoid lingering mental issues (trauma, anxiety, etc). You're probably familiar with strategies like alcohol and drugs, but people also use strategies like exercise, work, keeping busy, etc. The goal is the same: keep those pesky thoughts down and avoid them. If you're not doing something, these things bubble up and cause issues.
More than triple if your numbers are right. That does sound like a lot.

I feel like you’re conflating the orchestration with proxying. There’s no reason they couldn’t be using caddy or traefik or envoy for the proxy (just like k8s ends up using them as an ingress controller), while still using docker.
It was also a time when grocers kept a lot of goods in bulk, and customers were given portioned quantities wrapped in paper, or in paper bags. The additional labor costs were the reason this practice was ultimately replaced, largely by single-use plastics. Of course, capitalism and market forces mean that this is more efficient and profitable (even though they do not take into account externalities and future deficits caused by the damage these products inflict. I would suggest that the costs were more inline with reality, and in a time when folks are already too isolated, I would pay a premium to frequent an establishment that still offered that sort of full-service, more sustainable practice.

For those who haven't encountered the term before: "traffic violence" is another way of describing "car accidents" that emphasize that injury due to automobiles is not inevitable and should be worked to be eliminated.

I do find it hard to believe rockson doesn't know anyone who has been involved in a car accident if they live in the US.
A brief history of QuickDraw and PICTs
Lisp users generally treat libraries the same way C people do and vendor anything that's truly important. There's ocicl if you want something more scalable.

https://github.com/ocicl/ocicl

(Lisp users are generally very anachronistic people who don't understand dependency management nor know how to resolve diamond dependency issues, ocicl is one of the better approaches along with CLPM but they both get a lot of pushback from the community which "don't see a need".
Really interesting and creative idea! Maybe one day soon I will actually learn esperanto
Not for nothing, but those devices are generally sold interest free.

There's no functional difference between "If you're poor, you should save $50/month for the next 2 years, and when you do that, maybe then you can get that $1200 phone", versus "You can pay $50/month for the next 2 years and get that $1200 phone now", other than bias against the "financially constrained".
Nothing but praise but I wonder how can it be implemented? Facebook and other social platforms already have set an age limit that kids usually bypass.
A preference is just a bias with a more positive connotation.

I'd recommend getting the 9th or 10th edition of Introduction to Operations Research by Hillier and Lieberman. 9th: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0077298349
You can search for the 10th edition. Both are available used for less than 50 USD in good condition. The book covers a lot more than linear programming. A solution manual for both editions can be found on the internet.

A good "free-pdf" optimization book, to support the above is, Algorithms for Optimization by Kochenderfer & Wheeler ( https://algorithmsbook.com/optimization/ ). It has a chapter on constrained linear optimization with Julia code and is a good secondary resource. Kochenderfer, Wheeler, and colleagues also have two other free optimization books that are a little more advanced. It is exceptionally cool that they make the high quality PDF freely available; more authors in the technical space are making their books freely available as pdf and I applaud them for it.
Banning phones from school as the default should have been included.
"that simply follows on from a shift in consumer behaviour" feels hand-washy.

chicken/egg of course, but the question people – especially technologists – should be asking is: is that really helping society progress? I would argue, like this article does, that it isn't and is indeed harming society by atomizing and attempting to quantify behavior in the name of 'choice' which of course is a non-sequitur. The commercial engines should be in service of humanity and enrichment, not the other way around. A brilliant writer isn't a social media maven, nor should they be.

It’s a good thing that’s an exaggerated and disingenuous notion, then.
I like how the wiki* says:

> Its source code was originally derived from Chocolate DOOM but is now very much its own beast. It does include all the usual, obligatory enhancements that you tend to find in those other source ports out there, but it also has so many of its own cool, original ideas that continues to set itself apart.

So yeah, cool, DOOM Retro has a ton of enhancements and a bunch of new features... but then the wiki goes on to say:

> DOOM Retro is and always will be intentionally minimalist in its approach

So on one hand a gigaton of enhancements and features, but on the other hand minimalism? I don't think you can have it both.

That said, I suppose it seems like a cool project for people who like DOOM.

Holland is really where the wealthy merchant class first became dominant in Europe--and was generally not subservient to the nobility as in other other countries.
Button-toggled voice notes in the iPhone Notes app are a godsend for taking measurements. Rather than switching your hands between probe/equipment and notes repeatedly, which sucks badly, you can just dictate your readings and maaaaybe clean out something someone said in the background. Over the last decade, the microphones + speech recognition became Good Enough for this. Wake-word/endpoint models still aren't there yet, and they aren't really close, but the stupid on/off button in the Notes app 100% solves this problem and the workflow is now viable.

I love it and I sincerely hope that "Apple Intelligence" won't kill the button and replace it with a sub-viable conversational model, but I probably ought to figure out local whisper sooner rather than later because it's probably inevitable.
True, but it was a much smaller and easier target than, for example, reducing CO2 emissions. It only required some evolutionary changes (remove FCFs) rather than revolutionary changes that also pose an existentially threat to very powerful companies (worldwide oil & gas industry) and require substantiative changes at the national level that are hard to pass politically.
I made a tool for pg – How can I show it to him
I recently read Paul Graham's blog on "Founder Mode" and loved it!

I loved it so much that I built an AI that looks at your Twitter profile and shows if you’re in Founder Mode or Manager Mode.

Now, it would mean the world to me, if @pg sees this tool

So any suggestions on how can I show it to him - without being annoying and pestering him
There's already research on Omega 3 supplementation's impact on depression + anxiety symptoms in humans. The results generally show that Omega 3 is roughly as effective as antidepressants, and can be safely taken in addition to antidepressants for an even greater effect.
Let me tell you how much time I spent with Claude and ChatGPT trying to get Next.js and Lucia with Postgres playing nicely. Never got it to work. Then I hit `rails new -d postgresql -j esbuild -c tailwind` and tried authentication-zero. Up and running in ~10 minutes.

It got me to thinking. Rails consistency and conventions are one of the biggest advantages for AI. While far from perfect, it seems the less code needed (Ruby/Rails) is a multiplier for AI.
The issue isn’t the doctor knowing when to use the algorithm and when to deviate, but explaining that deviating from the algorithm was the right choice to the judge and jury in the subsequent lawsuit.
It personally strikes me as a little humorous, particularly from the perspective of a human in (say) 2150. But, not in a mean spirited way. Of course, much respect for the pioneers of the ICE engine and on-going improvements today.

Lower resolution yes, but one thing with the 400MS or any multishot back is that it can shift by one or 1/2 pixel to collect full RGB color info for each pixel, very important for conservation work.

Florida already passed a similar law. Nice to see both left and right can agree that some things are common sense.
It's crazy how far from scientific consensus these extremist states on both "sides" of the USA have strayed in their performative legislation. There is no such thing as social media addiction no matter how many times celebrities, politicians, and scammer detox camp repeat it. It's not that the DSM V or ICD 10 haven't addressed the issues. They repeatedly have and each time come away saying there's no evidence to support using the word addiction to describe computer or other rich multimedia system usage. If this were 1800s it'd be a bill banning newspaper addiction. 1900s banning electrical addiction. 1920s, radio addiction, 1950s TV addiction. Whatever is the big new thing involving lots of money (and so attention from these kinds of people).

But it's not just funny sad: it also has real effects on real people and invokes the use of force in a situation where there is no coercion or damage being done.
I was referring to the many quality open models they've released to be clear.
