Hello everyone!

I’m Yeheboo, and I’m currently considering developing a website to help web developers and website owners exchange links more conveniently. We all know that link exchange plays a significant role in improving website SEO, but it can often be challenging to find suitable partners, and manually contacting and tracking the progress of link exchanges can be time-consuming.

I want to create a platform that automates the link exchange process through simple and efficient tools, helping developers and site owners find like-minded partners, manage link collaborations, and offer advanced features such as scheduled monitoring, automatic reminders, and exchange recommendations.

If you’re interested, please help me by completing a simple survey. Thank you so much!

This architecture diagram (https://oodle.ai/product#magicbehindoodle) goes into more detail into where we leverage Serverless. For ingestion, we still use dedicated compute, but for queries, we leverage serverless.
I totally agree. What is life living with just summaries?

Podcasts and blog posts fall into "unique value/view/information I am learning" or entertainment "something that feels like a (parasocial) friend - content I can predictably expect and get some dopamine/sense of socialness from".

Summaries for the former remove the eureka moments and brain connections between ideas, replacing them with takeaways, and summaries for the latter are like summarizing a TV episode in text: no entertainment tends to really come from it.

I think it comes from having many messages at work, and I get that. When you have 50-100 messages/documents a day, quick summaries are a lifesaver, they help you filter, avoid, or get to the facts. But for things I select listening to.. for those hours of rest or (scientific) curiosity in my life.. summaries are not a virtue.

(for Parasocial - the feeling is: This person won't update me on their relationship problems, they'll explain a cool thing about castles to me and share their opinion, etc.)
With the added benefit of built-in upscaling! I would have loved, as a kid, to design my own "clubhouse" with coffee stirrers before going out in the yard and building a full sized one to chill in.
There are, in fact, Taylor Swift impersonators, just like there are Elvis impersonators. It’s perfectly legal. You can hire them for private events and stuff.
At smaller companies, definitely! It's the bigger FAANG-like companies (and these days Microsoft and Nvidia) that don't care about customer service.
Google is about to update Street View images across countries
I wish comparisons like this would include unicode coverage. I have code that uses the symbols, arrows, etc. to avoid needing image assets. Or some non-English text that need accented characters or the CJK glyphs.
I believe you can argue that the damage done by DMCA surpass its protective mission. The EFF has a thorough list of abuses.

But no, if you don't have access to a legal department, DMCA complaints often do not go to court either and these are the undocumented cases. There are some instances where large companies like Google defend a user in their stead. Because they have a legal department.

Damage > protection, so DMCA is just a continuation of a broken copyright law. I see this law hitting in a similar direction, but that remains to be seen.
Author here.

This is a genuine concern of mine! I don't want to build something that generates slop.

Rather, I think whenever we change the costs / process of things, new possibilities open up.

As an example, last night I re-watched Starship Troopers for the six-hundredth time. I'm a huge fan of Paul Verhoeven.

What if I could watch a custom edit of Starship Troopers on demand, and this edit surprised me with something new? I don't know exactly how this would look, but maybe it's interesting?

It's tough to predict the future and how things will change.

But I'd rather be participating in its creation, trying to make it better.
For the average user, ensuring that unwanted code does not run is the biggest possible feature for any device.

If you don't want that feature, don't buy the device! Or jailbreak it. Or compile your own code and load it.

It is not the 20%-30% of revenue that makes a better ecosystem, it's the vetting process for the software that makes it better. Every vetting process has errors, just as all software has bugs. The end goals of the process and the error rate of the process, and correction procedures of the process, are what makes a better software ecosystem.

The most bizarre App Store rejection I’ve seen was for a TV app which was rejected by Play for ‘Policy Violation’ without much explanation… After several rounds of resubmissions and emails it turned out the problem was some channels on it were in 4:3 (not widescreen). Google required we add a ‘warning’ to the App Store description that it contains 4:3 content!
8% of revenue in perpetuity seems like a licensing deal, not payment for services. WP is arguing that they don't need a license deal to deliver their service which seems to be true? Therefore, the 8% just seems like a shakedown to get money - good old blackmail.
We mostly had Family Computing magazine. I looked up an issue from 1985 with one of my favorite type-by-hand games, Hit or Miss [0], and no sight of a helpful checksum.

To be honest, the idea of it would have blown my mind back then; the idea that your BASIC code is just a text file that can be processed by other programs is something that would never have occurred to me.

Maybe if they were consistent... they had an update rejected, which implies that they've passed review before. Doesn't sound "thorough" to me. Plus, reviewers must be able to see the App Store page, right? Halide's has "camera app" and "photography" in the first paragraph of the description. (It literally has "camera" in the title. The icon is an aperture.)

I mean hell that's the root of the problem. It doesn't matter what context you provide or how obvious you make things, you're feeding your app to a black box that gives results seemingly at random. I haven't met a developer that hasn't failed review for arbitrary reasons, including me. Either give me clear guidelines and procedures to follow - and then follow them - or don't lock me out of doing my job.
Public lashings for overzealous reviewers.
In reality, replaceable batteries aren't glued inside some sort of box. Glue simply isn't necessary. It's probably just slightly easier to use a solution with glue instead of one without glue.
Evan is amazing. I’m so grateful he keeps pushing an open internet forward.
This might be misleading as often biodiversity can't be measured by how lush it looks and how much vegetation there is. Certain plants and animals can only survive in arid landscapes that look 'dead' but can't survive otherwise as they are adapted to an environment with less nutrients. So it is possible that you actually reduce biodiversity by doing things like this. Often land has too much nutrients due to farming and leaving arid landscape as it is might be better.
Here’s my creative justification: there’s a policy that works for 99% of apps, and in this case requires Halide to fill two sentences of text in to comply with. The alternative would be more mad.
Sure, none of this is relevant to the question of how a society enforces laws that require some type of interpretation: they go to court.
Show HN: Dockside: open-source self-hosted 'Codespaces' for small teams
Dockside is a self-hosted open-source platform for provisioning dev environments, staging environments and sandboxes.

Put simply, it’s like having your own self-hosted Github Codespaces, and is ideal for small web dev teams working on single or multiple in-house or client websites projects, or security-conscious dev teams who need to keep code and data on-prem. You can run it on local machine with Docker, but it comes into its own when self-hosted on-premises or in the cloud.

Dockside's key benefits over Codespaces are:

1. You only pay for hosting the platform, no matter how many dev environments you create or how long they are running.

2. Every dev environment can be turned into a public or securely-accessible staging server with a click, allowing instant feedback on your work from your colleagues, testers, PMs, managers and clients.

3. You can develop in an exact clone of your production environment, minimising risk of rollout issues and increasing dev velocity.

Dockside launches each dev environment (we call them 'devtainers') in a container, each fully equipped with a custom subdomain name, HTTPS reverse proxy, seamless SSH access, plus a built-in web-based IDE (Theia), and fine-grained access controls so devtainers' code and web services can be shared with/staged for exactly whom you wish and no further.

You can choose to use the built-in VS Code-compatible IDE, any IDE like VS Code or JetBrains, Eclipse, Atom or Sublime that supports remote development over SSH, or any text editor you (pre)install in your devtainer.

You can also choose your container runtimes for each task or project: we recommend runc for common tasks; sysbox-ce for when you need to develop using dockerd; and runcvm for launching dev environments as KVM VMs.

Everything is preconfigurable by the administrator. The fine-grained permissions system lets you lock down runtimes, networks and images for new starters in your team, while allowing established devs more control, admins full control, and giving PMs and management visibility of web services but no dev access.

Dockside is a mature and stable platform, and this post marks its latest release to v3.1 which upgrades the built-in Theia web IDE to the latest version, providing excellent VS Code extension compatibility and a real-time collaboration function.

We'd love more people to use it and help develop it, especially Vue developers, so if this project inspires you please do consider contributing.

- Github: https://github.com/newsnowlabs/dockside

- Live demo server: https://www.demo.dockside.cloud/

- Video walkthrough: https://youtu.be/buAefREyngQ?list=PLgDxgkeGPK-FkfubPc5bRAr51...

- Launch locally with Docker on Mac or Linux: mkdir -p ~/.dockside && docker run -it --name dockside --mount=type=volume,src=dockside-ssh-hostkeys,dst=/opt/dockside/host -v ~/.dockside:/data -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -p 443:443 -p 80:80 --security-opt=apparmor=unconfined newsnowlabs/dockside --ssl-builtin
And those assumptions often end up being wrong. There will always be differences between distros. Ensure, don't assume.
But that's not really precise. Halide needs access to the camera to take any pictures at all, whether there are advanced controls or not, and for crappy or pro-level photography.

In other words, "camera app needs access to the camera."
ok except "full planet datasets" make little sense for terrestrial features. Splitting .. aka sharding the files into basic continents would make SO much sense. Asia is big, but no requests for Africa mixed in.. Australia would be manageable?
I use it for lots of things that aren’t photography, scanning QR codes, AR uses like seeing how a piece of furniture will look in my house, identifying stars.
Could you share performance so we could compare?
Nobody seems to be suggesting it is any better when Google does it; but on Android (if you ignore the efforts that Google has gone to to make the experience be limited) one can at least avoid the AppStore altogether, while still installing and running various things on device.
I wonder about the practicality of complementing that stage of the decomposition with a free-range poultry operation. Bringing in chickens, the birds eat the larvae, and generate more fertilizer along the way.
Probably budgets are different as well. Why automate something you can do cheaper with operators? We may be able to automate things on earth but at a prohibitive price with respect to competitors. On the moon your competitors would have the same limitations —ie you’ll just have to pay up to get it to work.
Zombo.com?
Exactly, the extortion is the most serious allegation, but WPE isn't providing a lot of background in terms of what and how much Mullenweg was demanding, only texts that came well after the demand was made. My guess is if there's a really damning email, WPE's lawyers served them a legal hold privately rather than make it public.

Alexa, order ten cases of popcorn...
I definitely not want to charge for requests, that's the founding principle of this project.

And the risk of this project is largely mitigated by offering the full repo as open-source, so you can always self host this if needed.
I guess that one gripe is that it's clear that they looked at this as a math problem, and didn't really take into account people that have the accumulated wisdom of laying out hundreds of spaces, the pitfalls that fall when doing that, and the complaints that only surface when you are embodying that space. This is a case of the classic engineering mindset of 'let me go into a field which I have zero practical experience with, then reduce everything to a simple math problem and ignore everything you think you know about doing this'.

I believe that the opposite is useful, fasting -> autophagy -> improved mitochondrial health (not sure). Maybe that's what parent tried to say.
"Serverless" is an overloaded term marketing that really means functions-as-a-service. Looking at the stack, I don't actually see any components that you couldn't easily port to an on-prem solution.
I see it on my T-Mobile device also. Strange.
Zig is divorcing itself from Clang: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/16270
Bingo. That was not obvious to me before your one-word reply, and now, in retrospect, it is.

And I say this as a person who usually just rolls his eyes seeing the typical cynical HN hot takes. I believe Altman voices his deepest convictions here. The smarter thing to be cynical about is, what is his goal with voicing them now, and in this very format? As others have observed, this is the first time he is not even paying lip service to the question of existential risk.
No, it lets you specify filters based on various things (text matching as well as various metadata).

The only thing I struggle with is filtering out sports-related entries. That turns out to be really hard.

Yep, we prefer to keep people alive first since its hard to care about the health and well being of dead people.
Visualizing piecewise linear neural networks
The issue becomes far more pronounced if the state is able to determine your identity through your phone number, which in Germany is usually tightly coupled to your identity.

I don't need 3rd rate officials being in a position to judge my communication for some badly defined security benefit that allegedly would manifest for the whole society.

Plus Germany still has quite a bad record here. After WWII it didn't stop to invent new forms of totalitarianism through surveillance.

The German state is not ready to have that power.
The internet was a simpler time back then, I bet very few younger devs even know zombo.com
On a similar note, I sometimes think about how newline characters are allowed in filenames, and how that can break simple...

for each $filename in `ls`

loops -- because in many contexts, UNIX treats newlines as a delimiter.

Is there any legitimate use for filenames with newlines?
Just saw the “Move fast and abandon things” thread and now this, which is it ?!

nah jk, cool articles
Galvanized EMT conduit will rust, especially if you let water get inside and it does not drain. I use silver spray paint on all cut or drilled spots, and drill tiny holes on the underside of any horizontal runs that descend from verticals. (E.g. I've bent EMT into four-sided frames for doors, etc). I have outdoor EMT structures (trellises, garden gates, chicken run frames, geodesic domes) that are 25 years old and going strong. :)

Agreed though -- PVC pipe (the white stuff) does very poorly with exposure to UV light. The beige CPVC stuff is worse. The black PVC (ABS?) is supposed to be better, but less available in small gauges. And the grey plastic stuff used for electrical conduit is also supposedly UV-safe, but is far less structurally rigid than any of the others, or of course galvanized EMT. Sometimes that flexibility is a virtue, but usually not.
Does the reviewer have that context?

In my job capacity, I give status updates about many unrelated projects.

If I am not explaining full context in a seemingly simple update or question, I will get my hand slapped. And if I tell my boss to “read” it’s going to go worse.

I would have removed the risk of removal by simply prefacing the app is a professional camera app and taking photos is the primary user function.

And not just a lesson for here but also in life: One-liners are fun to say, but people generally don’t like being on the receiving end of them.
I kind of disagree with how it will play out - I'm more optimistic. A couple of points:

>Virtually all the advances in technology and civilization have been aimed at people capturing resources, people, and value...

Not really so - people invent new stuff because it's cool. Maybe eg Geoffrey Hinton and neural networks. Then the business types try to jump in and capture resources - maybe Sam? But that's not really working with current AI - it all gets open sourced shortly after.

Info tech seems to spread rather evenly. Even in Africa a lot of people have smartphones and can access Google and ChatGPT like we can.

In the future people in democracies will be able to vote for universal income, free healthcare, free other stuff and the like. At the moment it doesn't fly to give everyone free stuff because someone has to do the work still - we don't quite have the AI robots yet. But when we do have it'll probably be the way to go.
Premature. Jeez.
"fully managed, serverless"

So its not really a drop in replacement for prometheus then, its more of a send all your data to some other bloke kind of replacement.

2nd Sol Foundation Symposium (UAP, NHI) Confirmed for Nov. At SF's Fort Mason
Last year's Sol Symposium on topic of UAP and non-human intelligence (NHI) at Stanford attracted wide attention. This year's Sol Symposium is in San Francisco and is likely to be even more impactful given developments of the past year (like Lue Elizondo's NYT bestseller release of 'Imminent') & taking place on the heels of an upcoming Congressional hearing on UAP / NHI chaired by Nancy Mace (R-SC). Taking place in the tech startup capital of the world won't hurt either :)
It seems like you would beat the memory wall.

I don't know what this is supposed to mean.

Why would putting coprocessing somewhere outside of the CPU be better than just sending data to storage?
Can it even be cast? It looks like this would be really difficult to get to come out of the mold. Unless you go investment casting over die casting.
The logo on your main page for oodle.ai is blurry.

That's a neat blog all around. Lots of interesting stuff to poke around in.

I think it's okay to abandon things, and you can certainly learn things and reuse parts from abandoned projects. For me, a breakthrough moment was when I decided to make things so small that I could finish them. It helped me develop the skill of finishing things, which is a separate skill that's hard to learn, because it only happens at the end of a process so long and hard you almost never make it there. All my friends who are making video games start by writing their own engine, and get burnt out somewhere around the point where they're making a level editor. They learn a lot about things like tooling (which, coincidentally, is a lot like what they already knew how to do), but never actually make the game. It'd be like learning stone masonry by building a cathedral—you won't live to see the end. Start so small that you can't fail, then work your way up to bigger and bigger projects.
Working for an uncaring corporation is freedom, caring for your family is slavery.
Measuring Developers' Jobs-to-be-done
The problem is in the extreme weakness of the gravitational interaction compared to electromagnetism (and even compared to neutrino interactions), not the uncertainty principle. You can use small magnets to hang big things on a fridge door, even though the magnet and the object are being pulled floorwards by the gravitation of the entire planet. You need ENORMOUS vats of super-pure water surrounded by sensitive photodetectors <https://neutrinos.propg.ufabc.edu.br/wp-content/uploads/2019...> (Super-Kamioande, Japan) to occasionally spot light a particle strongly bounced by a neutrino from a significant nearby neutrino-generator. There are bazillions of neutrinos streaming through the chamber in that maintenance photograph. But there are A LOT more gravitons passing through, and that detector will almost never certainly spot an electron being sped up by them!

The idea in the paper is to replace water with something clever that is purer, much closer to absolute zero, and much more voluminous than Super-K. The clever bit is that it doesn't have to be more voluminous (by a lot) than our entire planet because interactions within the medium can (the authors argue) in principle magnify the signal of a deflection by a very precisely characterized (notably in frequency) graviton.

A somewhat unkind way of analogizing it is that they hope to see an avalanche and attribute it to (only) the landing of a very specifically shaped snowflake during a blizzard.
Thanks. The blog post alludes to mirrors but I didn't realize that was the primary goal of this project.

I am somewhat skeptical that these projects will have an incentive to actually set up mirrors. For example, I imagine Tensorflow likes getting free hosting.
Do you think it'd be more clear to only accept donations on GitHub Sponsors and only offer actual support plans on the website? I mean actual email support, helping companies migrate their existing map stack to OpenFreeMap.
I’m guessing reviewers have very limited time for each review. I don’t know what the internal process looks like, but I’m guessing an automatically generated screen listing the app’s permission requests, the justifications for each and other stuff? I would be surprised if there would be time for them to actually use any of the apps that they review or if they even have a phone to try apps on.
