I have an old tigsource account that in theory I could reactivate... But for now, I'm still in the pre-dev phase, i.e., I'm actively working on it but I haven't written any code yet.

Funnily, compared to my teenage self, I now think that the coding part is going to be the least of the issues. Of course, working with an old architecture that is severely limited in storage and computational capabilities raises some interesting challenges, but I do not expect them to be unsurmountable.

Doing all the graphics and the sounds all while keeping it an interesting gameplay experience (good narrative, challenging but not frustrating puzzles) will be the much harder task, I think. And ultimately there's also the problem that the majority of all indie game projects is facing: sticking with it until the end.
Nice idea - it'd be interesting to do some stats on matching accuracy, eg:

You cannot keep them alive forever, even if you are not allowed to criticize them. But yes, this was their most egregious failure and in my opinion completely disqualifies them to bring something worthwhile to the table on these issues.
As it turns out, it’s actually a quite beautiful font. It doesn’t make any sense, but it is. Like… It is its own aesthetic paradigm?
Not all orderings are total: just as {A} is a subset of {A,B} and {A,C} but neither {A,B} nor {A,C} are subsets of the other, one can consistently hold the position that point of view A is inferior in merit to points of view AB and AC while neither of AB or AC are inferior to the other.
That is to the point. Gorillaz has talent, and that is what made Clint Eastwood a hit. Not the Yamaha.
That's the same question I have. There is already a ton of great podcasts/music/everything in the niches that I like that I don't have the time to listen to them all. I also like to have quiet introspective time.

So where does AI regurgitated slop fit into my life?

If you select a title, you can play the full recording that led to the song being recognized. It's not just the song metadata that is recorded and uploaded to the website, but all the captured audio.
As a musician, glad to see audio production mentioned as an important use case.

Even a 10 ms delay is noticeable when playing an instrument. A lot of processing is required to produce a sound: Receive the input over a hardware interface, send it into userspace, determine what sound to play - usually a very complicated calculation with advanced plugins - potentially accessing many megabytes of raw sound data, apply chains of effects, mix it all together, send megabytes of uncompressed sound data back to the kernel, and push it out through an audio interface.

The more predictable the kernel can be, the more advanced audio processing can be, and better music comes out. Every single microsecond counts.

Modern software instruments can emulate acoustic instruments with a high degree of precision and realism, and a huge range of expressive freedom, but that takes a lot of processing power in real time.

Vast majority of software we use are based on open-source. I'd argue that stating "built on open source" is sort of paltering.

> But as YOU didn't build it or pay for it you have no place to complain.

I disagree with this point. You're conflating legitimate criticism or discussion about the model (which many have differing opinions on) with the harassment of open-source maintainers - something I strongly oppose as well. Could it be that past negative experiences have made you overly defensive? If so, I understand, but I believe it's a bit misplaced in this context.

It's ok to watch, that's just the nickname of the device because of how risky it is to use.
Yes, I'm quite upset about the repurposing of "bop" to be offensive, it was a good word and I liked its old meaning.

For anyone who doesn't know, 'bop' to gen Z is a derogatory term for a sexually active woman, it basically means 'slut'.

Redefining existing words is something that really irritates me, particularly when it's used to attack women.

The actual video title is "Lorenzetti Electric Shower Head", the HN submission title is edited to include the nickname "suicide shower head". I think the best would be is to just use the actual video title here.

FWIW it's just a nickname for their apparently dangerous design (which doesn't necessarily translate to actually dangerous), it has nothing to do with suicides.
It's a bit like the old saying, "All models are wrong, some models are useful." The concept of a "word" is useful in everyday language, particularly in English -- it's host language, unsurprisingly enough -- and (probably) other Indo-European languages. However, in a more precise context, it breaks down because of edge cases.

For example, "words" in agglutinative languages[1] (e.g., Turkish) act very differently from "words" in English. It's hard (impossible?) to capture all that variety in a pithy way. "A string of morphemes" might work, but that's hardly a satisfactory definition!

Maybe a good analogy for the HN crowd would be like asking, "How many characters are in a string?"

> While Valve's specific reasons for picking Arch Linux for Steam Deck remain unknown, it's pretty easy to guess why it was picked. Mainly, it's a particularly lightweight distribution maintained since March 2002, which lends itself well to gaming with minimal performance overhead. A more intensive Linux distribution may not have been the ideal base for SteamOS 3, which is targeted at handhelds like Steam Deck first.

I am not sure Arch is going to be faster for gaming than any other distro, but I can see why Valve picked it for a minimalist base. Another reason I am sure they picked it is that it is smaller and less commercial than others (such as Debain or Ubuntu) and they would have more ability to influence the project.

> In the long-term, the funding touted should, at minimum, allow Arch Linux to improve the security of its distribution and provide more structured releases compared to its current near-continuous update cycle.

This was literally the stated reason they moved from Debian in 2021, because they preferred rolling releases. [1]

When I visited south america in 2006, I immediately noticed the water heating systems directly built into the shower heads. They were basically omnipresent, in every hostel I stayed at. I am a software person, with only bare minimum EE understanding. But this setup spooked me a lot. But after a few rounds, you think to yourself: "They are using this stuff around here everywhere, it can't be as dangerous as you think." Let 5 weeks pass, and I enter the shower in a hotel in Cusco, Peru. Showering was fine, until I tried to turn off the water, which closed the loop. I have to say, I am pretty happy south america only has 110V. I had to wrap a towel around my hand to be able to close the valve. So, I was right in not trusting this stuff. Its weird and dangerous. But its apparently omnipresent in the countries down there...
That’s not the actual title and it’s missing (2017), the comment section had the consensus that these shower heads are actually very common and safe to use.
Sure. In many cases {A} isn’t a subset of anything else, though, and is merely what we might call standalone bullshit, and unfortunately it’s pretty prevalent these days.
forgot about the anti-circumvention clause ;(((

that's the worst

There might be some truth about laser toner quality. I resetted my Samsung page counter and started using super cheap buckets of toner from Ebay.

> Same experience in a Costa Rica hostel! Except in that case my skin just gently tingled where the water touched it. It was a case of, “I know that sensation, and I certainly shouldn’t be feeling it in the shower”

That was indeed where the good stuff was (and some of the bad stuff; BBS culture could be flamey and cliquey as well as welcoming). It was so good that an entire generation of people keep trying to build it over and over again, such as bluesky, mastodon, and the deceased cohost.
During my 8 years of professional SWE career (mostly startups), I've never worked in a company that did not suffer data breach / was hacked. It was always dumb stuff like admin:admin or deploying vulnerable things and forgetting on them.

After last one, I was done, left my job and started building Recon Wave [0]. I want to build tooling that will monitor your infra for you and find vulnerable / misconfigured / forgotten things that can be easily exploited.

I believe that security is best applied in layers and we're building one of them. We can not protect you from everything, but we can protect you from shooting yourself in the leg.

Me & my co-founder decided to take a bit different approach from other attack surface management companies and we try to find patterns in the whole OSINT world (aka most misconfigurations, domain correlations and others). Among others, we scrapped most of DNS and now have pretty cool reverse DNS dataset [1].

Hey HN! I’ve just launched Instabar, a fast and simple tool for generating up to 10K barcodes at once. You can upload an Excel/CSV file or enter data manually, and the first 1000 barcodes are free. Instabar supports Code 128, Code 39, Data Matrix, and QR codes. Output options include PNG, SVG, and Excel files where each barcode is formatted directly into the cells. No account required. I’d love feedback from the community!

"Ain't ain't a word 'cause it don't match the regex."

BTW, should be "\b\w+\b". The \b is a zero-width match for the start or end of a word. Your pattern requires a space before and after:

>>> import re
>>> re.compile(r"\b\w+\b").findall("What's the problem?")
['What', 's', 'the', 'problem']
>>> re.compile(r"\s\w+\s").findall("What's the problem?")
[' the ']
Big Clive also did a teardown and analysis of them, including the fault conditions that would make it dangerous https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNjA0aee07k

He also did one on a UK-approved unit for comparison https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwuhFLsowRc

The units aren't dangerous if installed properly, but they're not many failures from delivering a nasty shock.
It is extremely common that these showers are installed visibly ungrounded which is extremely dangerous by developed country standards. It's common to feel a tingling sensation while showering if you are in any way tall (over 175cm).

That said, it's obviously something millions of people live with, so it's still relatively safe in grand terms.

I'm sure they were accepting your applications in case something exceptional comes their way. They will lose some minor good faith with the open source community, but, from what I've seen, in the eyes of most companies, "open source community" is seen as a bunch of exploitable randos on the Internet. One prominent and beloved tech blogger even once refused to hire an open source commiter (to his company's project) because "why pay him, he's already working for us for free".
I bet it would insta-trip even with the showerhead working as expected
I've been seeing loads of these pop up on YouTube at the moment. Granted, it's probably because I'm clicking on them and YouTube is serving me more, but it does seem that some people (non-technical folk or kids) might not realise they are AI generated and who knows, perhaps soon one of these podcasts will actually be rather popular.

Personally I think the flow of the conversation is lacking a bit right now. To me it still sounds like two people reading off a script trying to sound like podcast hosts. I guess that's because I'm picking up on some subtle tonalities that sound off and incongruent. Still impressive though.

I think a great use case for it would be education. It would make learning textbook content far more engaging for some children and also could be listened to on the bus or in the car on the way to school!

In the case of NotebookLM, the AI generated podcasts aren't competing with existing podcasts, they're competing with other ways of consuming the source material. Would I rather listen to a real podcast? Yes. But no one's making a real podcast about the Bluetooth L2CAP specification.
LLMs kill stackexchange and all of the wonderful gift economy, because they replace humans in the loop with uncanny humanoids with whom it is impossible by their nature to have a real connection.

I'd agree with @idk1, the pricing comparison is, basically, unusable.

Goodsign compares to Docusign at $45/mo * 6 users for $3,240/year, compared to $1.50 for Goodsign. Hard to imagine a team of 6 that send one document per year.

If I go to Docusign, they list a $15/mo price (Monthly) per user for 5 documents. Or a price of $3/envelope, which compares favorably to Goodsign. The $45/mo price seems to be for unlimited documents, so that'd be a breakeven of 30 documents per user per month. BUT, Docusign offers significant discounts for paying yearly (hard to imagine a team of 6 that would use a service for just a month), which adjusts the pricing to $2/document for the 5 document plan and breakeven of 17 documents on the unlimited plan.

I went to the pricing page to try to get an idea of whether I should suggest my company look at switching to Goodsign, and the page didn't help at all. The pricing page suggests that we're spending around a quarter million dollars a month on Docusign, which I know isn't the case, but without knowing how many documents we send for signing, which I don't know even an order of magnitude off hand, I can't get any idea what sort of ballpark we'd be looking at.

Acclimitisation can be hard. In some cases I can put things to the back of my mine, but often it's just hard or not possible.

Certainly in my experience and from talking to others who identify or have been diagnosed similarly, in the majority of cases you don't get used to certain things. You can't acclimitise and that's why a load of people who are autistic aren't employed.

I might seem okay in the office, but what isn't seen is my complete inability to function at home if there have been too many inputs and distractions. Lucky I can work from home a couple of times a week and my hours are flexible in that I can start earlier so not to travel into the city when it's busy -- busses are quiet at 05:00/06:00 thankfully!

Having a small office I share with a few people helps. My last place went all in on the open-planned office and it was hell. I can't see how anyone is getting much work done in environments like that, haha.

I'm brazilian. Me and everyone I've ever known had electric showers in their homes.

Despite the clickable name, they are perfectly fine. If they weren't, the entirety of latin america wouldn't be using them. The worst case scenareo is if the house doesn't have grounding. In that case you can get a lil' zap when closing turning the shower off while wet. I remember when growing up, my mom would rent cheap apartments in the beach for us to stay a few days during the holidays, and she always made us shower while wearing flip flops to avoid getting the lil' zap. I'm not entirely convinced this worked.
I've always found podcasts like this boring and uninspiring. In fact, I'm starting to see a pattern: the less I like something, the more likely it can be done well with AI. But I know I'm the minority as so many seem to be ok with filling their lives with "content".
I read the slides, and I found it refreshing that you said at the end: don't create per-language bindings for the libraries shipped with systemd, but simply use a JSON parser for your language. That underlined that you've specified a simple protocol.

Also, there have clearly also been several attempts over the years to make a faster D-Bus implementation (kdbus, BUS1), which were never accepted into the kernel. It makes a lot of sense to instead design a simpler protocol.

There is clearly also a cautionary take about how microbenchmarks (here, for serialisation) can mask systemic flaws (lots of context switches with D-Bus, especially once polkit had to be involved).

On the topic of cat freedom... I had the opposite problem. A few years ago, for a while I had to separate our two cats so they wouldn't fight while we weren't home (long story, but we couldn't let them fight each other like most cats will do for fun, due to some medical reasons).

It was basically impossible. I wanted to set it up so one cat could be downstairs, and the other upstairs, so one wouldn't feel like they were being "punished", by being closed in a bedroom and only having that small area to roam in.

I built a "gate" for the top of our stairwell, the height of the railing, out of carboard and some pet-safe window screen material. First one of the cats managed to wriggle under it, so I reinforced it and gave it a "skirt". Then the other cat climbed up the screen mesh, and I found her just sitting there, perched on top of it.

Eventually I managed to make it sturdy enough. But then one of the cats realized he could jump over it.

I mostly gave up after that, and focused on training him not to fight with his little sister.

So this is a long winded way of saying: your cat might not really be bothered by things like baby gates. Might actually view them as a fun challenge to be (fairly easily) overcome. Unless of course your cat is older and/or has mobility issues.
