(To be clear, I was trying to elaborate on your point and not disagree with it.)

I wish there were better legal resources for the parents of disabled children to do this in the US. Like the original comment pointed out, the legal expenses of setting up a trust are steep, and if you're already fighting an uphill battle with medical costs it can be impractical. Or even totally out of reach.
Art is rarely made by nice people. You need to have a certain level of ego and narcissism. Many of Hollywood's great directors had their own personal demons.

The heptagonal shape of the 20p and 50p make them much easier to distinguish from other coins by both sight and touch. I can see the different coins in a heap, and I feel the difference even through gloves.

The copper and gold-coloured Euro coins all look very similar.
If I say "it's good to go running a few times a week", do I need to provide alternate advice for people with no legs? Or if I say "a low-sodium diet is healthier", do I need to specify that if you're getting cramps you should go eat some electrolytes? Is the advice bad if I don't cover every single edge case?

In my view that's a ridiculous requirement.
Thanks! At the moment, I don't think there are any public multispeaker models I am aware of. I could be wrong though!
I'd consider that ensuring that mobile phones have AM reception would be better as some people don't own a car. Consider the case when you have a music festival and thousands of people are camping away from their car if they have one - almost everyone would have a mobile phone either on them (especially if they're using it to buy drinks) or in their tents.

Unrelated to the content: who had the idea to machine-translate programming posts? The property name the post is about is localized for me, which makes no sense at all.
This was back in 2006/2007 and the very first foray of that company into using cloud computing. Those tools you mentioned largely did not exist. And the UI's where a lot more confusing and less clear than they are now.

Another question: does any mistake in configuration signal a mismanaged company to you?

AI Co-Pilot for Engineering Managers
Software engineers are leveraging AI co-pilots to write faster codes. But why should they be the only ones benefiting from advanced tools? Engineering managers deserve powerful AI assistants too!

When I became an engineering manager, I faced significant challenges in getting things done effectively. It felt like I was back to square one, starting my journey all over again. :)

Engineering managers often find themselves bogged down by operational tasks that pull them away from strategic initiatives.

We would love to get the community inputs here:

1. What operational tasks do you find most time-consuming as an engineering manager?

2. What features would you want in an AI assistant to support your role?

The AI co-pilot will run scrums, track project progress, respond to ad-hoc queries by learning from your expertise, and ensure smooth daily operations. With AI managing the operational details, you can focus on what truly matters—driving innovation and delivering results.

This. If it's not the case that all entrances have a Yeild (what we call "Give Way" in the UK), it's not a normal roundabout.

The feature that seemed to be missing from the roundabout in the original post was any kind of signage. Normally in the UK, roundabouts have a sort of map view as you approach them, then on the islands are signs telling you where to exit.

If by "hard-wrapped" you mean having a fixed-style, then all poems, code, emails, ascii-art should be hard-wrapped, and are hard-wrapped. If not, then I don't have any idea what are you talking about.

I fought a lot with the borrow checker when I started learning Rust, and then I learned to embrace it. The borrow checker only occasionally bugs me!

As I write more embedded Rust and Rust for WebAssembly, removing implicit dynamic memory allocation forces me to think a lot about lifetimes again.
Yeah that is totally fair. In my experience, I feel that after a while your brain starts to tune out some of the inflection differences. Piper models are honestly pretty solid as well. I think in general, AI audiobook solutions like mine are better for non-fiction compared to fiction. Or at least that is what I read the most of
Thank you! I really think there's a lot of potential in ARIA DevTools. It's quite popular (at least for my standards) but I never had any connection with people that live and breathe web accessibility. And the devil is in the details here so to be fully fair, WAVE is most probably more accurate.

Interesting… at least in my field, the prefix “micro” gets abbreviated with a “u” since it looks very close to the lowercase Greek letter μ (mu), as “micro” itself is Greek in origin
I'm gonna plug my Rust "invention" here:

Show HN: How to program in Rust as if it was old school C++ with pointers

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34067924
A Spell for Chameleon, by Piers Anthony. It's the first fantasy novel I ever read. I picked it up from the school book fair on a whim. Led to a lifelong love of fantasy and science fiction. That influenced my college choice (I picked a liberal arts school where I could learn physics and writing; planned to be an SF author). That had a big impact on my life.

The series gets sillier and sillier as it goes on. I haven't re-read it lately, but I still have the copy.
Scala 3? It has the vast Java ecosystem available and state of the art GCs (plural), with either a focus on throughput or low-latency. Also, it can exclude the null value from the type system, marking it explicitly with a union type.

The logic can be implemented entirely in a parser written in a high level language. For example,

//const int ZERO = '0';
const int ZERO = 0x30;

int convert(const char *s){
int ret = 0;
for (; *s; s++){
ret *= 10;
ret += *s - ZERO;
}
return ret;
}

After that you just dump the value to the output verbatim. Any high level language can handle this, it's just a change of representation like any other. There's no need to do any further delegation.
This was a great one! Easy to read, interesting lessons, but inspired big big thoughts.
The nobel prizes tend to focus on scientific discoveries, often primarily from smaller groups, not engineering or entrepreneurial success.

SpaceX or Musk just don't really fit into the cateogires that well, and the committee is probably not all that desperate for Musk's attention to give him a throwaway Peace prize.
I would argue that negative effects from social media must be expected to be much harder to detect, because they would/could only manifest in changed behavior (possibly long-term!), and given how pervasive social media has become there is not even a good baseline for studies.

Picture e.g. social media exposure having a long-term negative effect on ability to focus, motivation to learn/work/self-improve and general satisfaction/self-image/outlook-- these are all somewhat plausible, and could be extremely difficult to isolate in studies.

Regarding smoking in particular: Imagine there being absolutely zero cancer/physical health effects, everything else being exactly equal.
Would that make it okay to you? Because to me, it absolutely would NOT-- a society that allows under-age persons to become strongly addicted to something, handing corporations a convenient metaphorical straw to suck money out of them for the rest of their lives-- that is a society that has failed their offspring, to me. And social media (give its addictiveness and value extraction via ads etc.), is basically in exactly that situation already.

I never did bother finishing the Android Chrome PWA part, because as others noticed it doesn’t get you much, and users really don’t seem to bother with the iOS one which does work. (iOS has navigator.standalone for detecting this).

iOS is arguably not “real” PWA but these days has equivalent functionality for much of it that is even supposed to work. It is on the todo list this week to get iOS push happening as proof of concept.

By far the biggest problem is lack of user familiarity. The app stores are understood, while the process for installing these is not. You can trivially package such things for the app stores, but then you have to jump through the increasing amount of hoops about that.
I agree the type system is the best feature of Rust but neither Ruby or Elixir have the level of type safety and type expressiveness of Rust.

I'd recommend Haskell as an alternative, but Rust "fixes" plenty of long term Haskell annoyances (especially around laziness by default, concurrency, unsafe std).

Being able to use Arc<Mutex<T>>, Rc<RefCell<T>> and other smart pointers gives you granularity and control over what happens to your memory. I think it's a nice feature to have to mentally reason about your memory usage (incidentally a weak point in Haskell); even if it were on-par with a GC implementation-wise, why use a GC over this?

I like to have control over my code (and I'm probably one of the few who think monad transformers in haskell were a good feature - despite their clunkiness) and I'd pick explicit code over "magic garbage collection in the background" any day. This is not to say I like verbosity for verbosity's sake (eg. think React Redux in JS vs the implementation of the same idea in Elm) but in some cases I think it's justified and it brings extra value.
Hey!

Reminds me a bit of myself. After 2 COVID infections and 3 vaccines, I began experiencing digestive problems, sleep disturbance, fatigue and severe brain fog. I also was often dismissed by the doctors as simply being depressed. But I now know that I have long COVID. The fight against it is still ongoing and you can read about my struggle with it here: https://tunn3l.pro.

I'm currently working with my girlfriend on a sticker campaign to educate people on these illnesses (esp. me/cfs) in order to remove the Stigmatisation that many patients with similar symptoms expierience.
It’s really starting to look like they are a waste of resources unfortunately. The federal government is just not as effective, prepared, or capable as local responses.
Sweet, thank you and on my way :)
Debugging problems is part of maintenance, but a small part. Extensibility is probably a much larger part, and what I think of first when someone says "maintenance".
Did you read "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress" or "Glory Road" by Heinlein? Both of those impacted me in terms of opening my world view (line marriages, an empress making cold logical decisions I wouldn't expect, etc).
That doesn't match my experience at all. Every database I'm aware of has multiple options for data export and import for batch and command processing in the standard tooling. CSV is almost never "the best you can get". What is going to be best depends on your use case, and indeed at a bare minimum you can almost always change the field and line seperators and get something that works just fine on the commandline and avoids most of the stuff people find hard about CSV.

Additionally, if people like jq, they don't need a special tool like this. They can just get the database to output json and use json/jq - another tool isn't needed. In postgres you can do something like this

select array_to_json(array_agg(row_to_json (r))) from (
... put your sql query here...
) r;

...and postgres will output a json array for you where each item in the array is a json map of a single row of the output.

I'm sure other databases have similar functionality.
Or maybe your reaction to this downvote is the problem?
The 50c isn't double the size of the 10c, it's 18% wider. It has the same edge texture as the 10c coin. It's 1mm larger than the €1 coin, and 1.5mm smaller than the €2 coin.

The 20c coin has 7 subtle indents, and is only 1mm larger than the 5c coin. Can you tell the difference when your hands are cold, or if you're wearing gloves? (I understand people lose their sense of touch in old age.)

Meanwhile the 20p and 50p are heptagonal, with a similar 20% size increase.

The 5p and 10p have a 26% size increase. They have milled edges, unlike the 1p and 2p.
> The peril came from being led into dangerous waters.

Eh? No it didn't; operating in water with icebergs was entirely standard for ocean liners of that era. Titanic was operator error, coupled with some questionable design, and extremely poor safety regulations around lifeboats (Titanic actually had more boat space per capita than was common at the time; the lifeboats were largely envisaged for ferrying people from a stricken ship to an assisting ship, and weren't really planned around a ship _rapidly_ sinking. It wasn't until after the accident that regulators required enough boat space for the entire complement.)

But mostly operator error. The captain _should_ have hit the iceberg head-on, and indeed this was standard procedure if you couldn't stop in time. This would certainly have damaged the ship, but would not have sunk it.

Not sure if anyone would ever consider doing this due to the collateral damage, but I think a retrograde GEO orbit would work fine for destroying a lot of GEO Sats. You would need to spread out your impactor by detonating it but the fragments would have 6 km/s relative to the GEO Sats.

IIRC AM radio requires an antenna, and even the smallest type is thicker than a phone. Not that I'd complain about thicker phones at this point.

Older phones used to be able to play FM, requiring a headphone cable to be used as an antenna.

> Ofc your mileage may vary, i don't block disqus but use uBlock and the page is most likely hosted on another continent which makes latency another issue.

The page is indeed slower if I route it through a German VPN, but all content including the widget still stops visibly changing in under 5s on a hard reload, 1.5s on a soft reload: everything past that is various tracking nonsense which presumably has no impact on functionality.

My bigger point is, no one but a bot is going to be using the Disqus widget to check the comments within 5 seconds of visiting a page on a blog they've never seen before. All substantial content above it stops moving within a second, from Germany or from the U.S. (Unless your RTT is especially bad where you live?)

I just don't see what your prescription would be here, except to tear out the widget entirely, just for the sake of improving a metric with no direct importance. Unless you advise that the author implement his own commenting system, which is a huge can of worms filled with spam, legally-sensitive user data, and so on. I certainly wouldn't take it as an indictment on his choice of frontend or backend.
I think all NVM langs claim interoperability with Java ecosystem. The situation on the ground is never as nice as sold in my XP.

Scala is a great example where I've seen the "best" option being rewrapped libs with scala calls and types rather than a native solution and the dev XP just isn't as good overall.
Oh I didn't mean it figured stuff out in a smart way, only that it did auto buffering/chuncking/flushing for you in a way to abstract that whole idea from the dev, while other plateform had you care about it (cf above messages).

But yeah the moment you ended up wanting to do anything advanced, you were doing your own buffer on top of that anyway, or disabling it and going raw.
Does this affect the standing issue of whether more current flows mostly through a wire or mostly down the edges, and whether stranded wire is better for a given application?

Copper conductor:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_conductor

Skin effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_effect :

> In electromagnetism, skin effect is the tendency of an alternating electric current (AC) to become distributed within a conductor such that the current density is largest near the surface of the conductor and decreases exponentially with greater depths in the conductor. It is caused by opposing eddy currents induced by the changing magnetic field resulting from the alternating current. The electric current flows mainly at the skin of the conductor, between the outer surface and a level called the skin depth.

In most of the world, unless the intersection has pedestrian features (like traffic lights with green men or islands with pedestrian waiting areas), it's better to cross the road away from the intersections. Then you only have 2 directions of traffic to worry about. AFAICT, in the US, crossing away from the intersections is illegal in many cases.

When Cycling and approaching a roundabout move to the middle of the lane and follow the same routes as a car. Yes you slow the cars a bit but they are supposed to be going slowly anyway. If you don't want to do that, you can get off your bike and cross as a pedestrian would.
System programmers thinks so.

I guess that if all you do is hammer nails then a multitool is just a hammer.
What an utterly bizarre thing to post on a thread about the Nobel prize for physiology/medicine.
You have a point, but often it seems that if a comment got a downvote because some rando took exception to it without a good reason; then the crowd will vote it back up fairly soon. And indeed, your comment is not grey at the time of writing. I personally am not a very consistent upvoter unless either a) the comment was amazing or b) it looks unfairly downvoted.

My context is I'm (slowly) writing a quantum field simulator as a hobby. I've done this before for EM fields only, and am familiar with how to directly apply Maxwell's equations as a simulation. But the Lagrangian I have no clue how to directly utilize in a simulation. Hence my search for field evolution equations.

Beehive – LLM Agentic Framework
Hey everyone!

What I have built:
Inspired by the awesome work at Langgraph, PyAutogen, and CrewAI, I made an LLM agentic framework called Beehive.

Beehive shares many features with other popular agentic frameworks, including:

- Loops and conditionals between agents
- State management
- Streaming support
- Memory / feedback

In addition, Beehive supports:

- Rapid customization: it's trivial to create your own agent with its unique invokation logic
- Nested patterns: think, a Beehive of Beehives
- Complex conversational patterns: ensembles and multi-agent debates are supported out-of-the-box

Why I built it:
For learning purposes! I wanted to get my feet wet with LLMs and agents. Having tinkered with and explored the frameworks I mentioned above, I wanted to build my own to deepen my understanding.

Any and all feedback is welcome!
Thank you! Wouldn't a website interface then make it competing with and thus inferior to solutions like those from 11elevenlabs? I am not opposed to creating a SaaS offering, but I feel I do not have the economies of scale nor proprietary models a large company has. Let me know if I am wrong!
Maybe I will one day do something as a separate project on the browser with WebGPU.

With regards to adding languages, first check if support already exists [0]. Then there are a few tutorials that might be relevant [1] [2] [3]. Once you have the onnx model you can just put it in the QuickPiperAudiobook model directory and specify it via the cli args.
