The crazy thing is that I originally signed up for private because it was cheaper than public… at the beginning anyway. I much prefer the Austrian model, in which — I believe anyway — everyone has to pay for public, but then you can get extra private on top if you like.

I was an employee so this didn’t apply to me, but for my freelancer friends it seemed very unfair that they had to use private.
We've come a long way from red eye correction.

I think it's great that this is labelled as "correction" as in a means of optional postprocessing when it's convenient. Nvidia implying that it's something we should enable by default rubs me the wrong way, but then again, I don't spend my day stuck in virtual meetings.

I actually tested my laptop before writing that comment. My laptop(s) make no sound even if I close the lid with playing audio (sans Firefox, as I said).

I didn't test sleep/wake consciously while I docked my laptops, but I don't remember they start making sounds when they should be silent. Maybe you're seeing PowerNap cycles, but mine is not doing any noise in PowerNap, either.

Need to test with leaving Firefox playing something and see what it does.

Hello HN,

Last year I quit my job and decided to change industry. Now I am trying projects of different nature and see what sticks.

On my return I started using github. I noticed there wasn't any color display accessory to visualize your github contributions. So I decided to build my own.

I built this little device for 2 reasons: (a) Because I like microelectronics and I liked the idea a lot. (b) Prove myself this was something I could make work despite having 0 experience

I hope you like it as much as I do and I would love to hear your feedback.

In the UK we have a lot of stuff like that too, not necessarily codified, just that the default position is that you can't build somewhere unless you have permission and the local council will probably block it (as a result undeveloped land is <10% of the cost of developed/developable land).

Feels like that's a far easier target to attack first.

Pixel positioning usually anchors to a specific side. Like you can anchor label to the right side and it'll move as expected. And you also need to specify minimum width/height to keep thing sane.

Although it works poorly with translations, so it's probably not the best approach, but certainly one of the simplest. If you don't need translations, it works surprisingly well. Basically all Delphi applications used it and there were used a lot in private companies.

To provide an example, the recent Llama3.2 release includes a clause in their acceptable use policy that says any individual or business located in EU has no rights to use their multimodal models. This is discrimination against persons/groups which violates most open source definitions. They even went as far as getting Huggingface to implement georestrictions so that EU users would get an error message and be unable to download the weights.

From my understanding this comes from a feud with EU privacy law because Facebook wants to train models on EU users data, but GDPR makes that complicated (see their letter at euneedsai.com). So they made this license change to "punish" the EU.
I want my applications to live on my computer and be able to do things like say “this new update breaks my workflow, I am rolling back to the last good version until they get this shit fixed”. This has happened multiple times with Illustrator.

This is just a step away from UBI. I appreciate the universal approach but prefer universal solution instead of only to “housing” offering public housing to people who can afford and choose to live in higher quality is a fake universal solution. UBI sends money, even Jeff Bezos will benefit although negligibly from 1k per month. “Oh but Jeff Bezos doesn’t need it” you miss the point. Universal removes a TON of beauracrocy and issues that come with qualifications. And by giving direct money this solution helps literally all fiscally related problems (not mental health or education). Food deserts will still be a problem. Places without affordable housing will still exist. But people will have some real and immediate help in affording the solutions and also help in moving out of those locations to ones without those problems.

There is no “solution” to “solve” any of these things 100% the idea of universal housing is not realistic considering current government housing and HUD is known for its unsafe, low quality, overpriced and corruptible attributes. UBI is a real implementable “solution” that will “improve” the problem.

Can I have the CVEs, since citation needed. If we're talking about Mullvad's findings, it's a race condition, which can happen anywhere since VPN is always a secondary process which needs to run and login after network wakes up, and use the existing network connections to route the traffic.

You need to enable VPNs to stop all outbound traffic until they make their connections, which needs new and interesting plumbing.
The RAM is still very much bog-standard DDR4/DDR5 chips, soldered on a PCB right next to the CPU. Here's an example pic of an M3 motherboard. The CPU/GPU is under the metal piece with the Apple logo on it, and the memory is the two rectangular chips immediately above that.

> Both are appalling.

Both are also largely meaningless because they're based on BMI, which is literally just mass/height^2. No measure of percent body fat, no measure of any other aspect of health, just mass by the square of height.

If you're comparing the BMI of two countries with very similar gene pools it's not a bad point of comparison (though the raw number still doesn't tell you much without more context about build types), but when you're comparing Australia to the US the gene pools of the non-European minority groups are sufficiently different to make BMI pretty worthless as a point of comparison for public health.
My intention was both snark and to point at real vs perceived value. Whoever downvoted me seemed to miss that. HN is not very perceptive; this is not a very nice place.

Anyway, yes, small-batch artisanal handmade keyboards cost a lot of money.

> Build quality has diminishing returns.

Of course it does. But the point where the gradient tilts might surprise you.

I have tried a Unicomp modern replica of an IBM Model M. It was not a very nice keyboard, IMHO. It felt and sounded cheap and plasticky, with poor quality mouldings, rough edges, and so on.

This was a $150 replica device. It did not feel like hundred-and-fifty buck hardware. It felt a bit cheap and nasty.

(The owner told me it died not that long afterwards.)

This is the problem: proper quality kit costs, even if it's a modern reproduction of a mass-produced item from 30-40 years ago.

I agree: it's a ridiculously expensive keyboard. But the cheaper repro I tried disappointed me badly.
This is the problem that a lot of people are overlooking; it's not just a lack of property developers, NIMBYism, etc but a major part is policy and zoning laws, which aren't being challenged / changed enough.

Housing and jobs zoning needs to be better distributed. Why does all the work activity have to be concentrated in small city centers and housing spread out so much?

City centers need a higher proportion of residential and other places need a higher concentration of commercial/industry. That isn’t a market issue because these things are controlled by local governments.

There wouldn’t be a housing crisis if your zoning required 1:1 jobs to homes ratios, or even anything close.

What I want to see is “there’s no more office space available here, we’ll have to move somewhere else”

That and square footage limitations for worker density in office spaces.

A whole lot of the housing crisis boils down to local governments allowing a whole lot of office space growth and not much residential growth.
Affordable housing and quality housing are not mutually exclusive though, even though from a capitalist point of view they have to be.
The good news here, and the big picture, is that coal is increasingly less financially sustainable.

It's being squeezed out of the market because of cheaper alternatives. Banks don't want to give loans because they see those loans as risky. Coal companies might go out of business and default on their loans. The risk of that is relatively high with coal. Which is why banks and investors are looking elsewhere for more lucrative or safer investments. It's hard to argue with that.

And the circumstances that make coal increasingly financially unsustainable are only going to get worse. Cheaper solar, wind, and battery means even coal plants that may still be profitable now aren't going to stay profitable much longer.

That seems to be true around the world. Even China is projected to reach peak coal in the next few years; after which it is projected to shrink there as well. World peak coal usage was last decade already. A lot of countries are pretty far done getting rid of it completely. Australia is late to that party.
>To be fair BMI is based on Belgians from the 1850s with all the implications it has.

It's a pretty straightforward formula, and even though the cutoffs might be arbitrary, there's undoubtedly a u shaped mortality curve centered somewhere around 20-25. At a population level I don't think any of that is a relevant factor. No one thinks that your risk of death hinges on crossing an arbitrary line, but being fatter definitely isn't good for your health.

Calling big endian "commonly used by modern processor types" when s390x is really the only one left is a bit of a stretch ;D

You make it sound like it's a bad thing if those ad infested web sites disappear, but I beg to differ.

There is very strong population-scale evidence that municipal fluoridation significantly reduces the incidence of caries in children, including in developed countries with strong conventions around dental health (brushing twice a day, flossing, etc.)[1][2].

(A lot of this research comes from comparing cities/communities in Canada, since Canada is among the few countries that have gone on-again, off-again with municipal fluoridation. This in turn makes the data really strong, since there are relatively few confounding factors when comparing dental outcomes between Canadian children, versus children spread across the world.)

Of note: the research also indicates that, if the general public were to brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, then municipal fluoridation would probably have only a marginal effect on overall dental health outcomes. But there's no strong evidence that redirecting money away from municipal fluoridation towards dental health education would meaningfully move the needle on individual practices; to the contrary, there's strong evidence that a decent percentage of the population will never engage in baseline dental hygiene, and thus benefits disproportionately from municipal fluoridation.

Houses in cities ought to be cheaper than in the countryside. The use of space is denser, utilities have much shorter lines and roads are just that small thing between all the houses not long stretches trough the landscape.

What we have to discuss is the distribution of living space, just like here in Austria I guess in the UK there's a lot of older people still living in the same house as a couple (or even alone) as when they had their children still living with them. We need incentives for people to downsize when they are still able to do it on their own.
That's what rhetorical questions are for. This one isn't one of those. I'm genuinely asking about a real life situation where this was tried, and asking about the costs.

But

> Initially, public housing was intended to be built widespread, and as such be mixed-income, but lobbyists who did not want to see public housing decrease their housing values blocked such housing from going up

>With the introduction of suburbs and expansion of choices for the white working class, the demographics of public housing changed from more class and racially integrated to predominantly impoverished, single-parent, welfare, and people of color[30]. This led to stigmatization of public housing, through pushing the narrative that people living in public housing were "Welfare Queens", or otherwise living in a state of abject poverty and terrible conditions[30]. These demographic changes also decreased support for housing, leading to the government cutting funding for the program

Repeating my comment on a sibling ...

Once we have technology to put a camera under a screen without sacrificing display quality ... we will not stop at one camera.
There will be an array of cameras covering say every 2x2 inch square of your screen.

Just see how many cameras are on todays phones. Same can happen with new camera tech too.

Also there will be a huge commercial driver to put multiple cameras under the screen -- all apps and marketers can track your precise gaze. Ads will pause unless you are actually watching them. I will hate it but it feels inevitable

How do we prevent UBI from driving inflation and just becoming another way to funnel money to the rich?
Public housing starts out nice when the masonry is new, its operations are freshly funded, and every initial tenant passes a basic credit check.

Will it stand as a shining example after 10-20 years, when poorer tenants are in arrears or move in unauthorized people, United States union mentality workers or overpriced contractors do the bare minimum for upkeep, and people who can afford to move out do?
The problem is public housing is maintained poorly. People generally beat rentals to shit and public housing is beat up even worse. The maintenance workers are union and can’t get fired, so they work at a leisurely pace. The admin are union and can’t get fired so their office is a mess and they respond slowly.

https://nypost.com/2024/02/10/metro/residents-in-corruption-...

Bad tenants in privately owned rentals get kicked out. In public housing they just make things terrible for their neighbors.

Without the profit motive, rental property becomes dilapidated quickly. I think the real solution for public housing is to make it rent-to-own for the tenants so they actually care. Otherwise it just goes to shit.
they are delivering updates as of now, it's just how FSD it will be lol. It seems like the model will be a quantized version of what will be on HW5 Robotaxi.
Great idea! I'm trying it now by adding the file `funding.json` to two of my FOSS projects. Feedback welcome. Donations welcome. :-)

1. Assertables is a Rust crate that provides assert macros for smarter testing: https://github.com/SixArm/assertables-rust-crate/blob/main/f...

2. BoldContacts is a mobile app that helps people who have disabilities: https://github.com/BoldContacts/boldcontacts-mobile-app-for-...

Results so far:

1. The JSON spec validation seems to be problematic. For example, I get an error message and there's no obvious way to handle it: "entity.webpageUrl.url and manifest URL host and paths do not match. Expected entity.webpageUrl.wellKnown for provenance check at https://linktr.ee/joelparkerhenderson/*/.well-known/funding-..."

2. An opportunity for improvement is for the JSON spec to favor each project having all it's own information in the JSON file i.e. orient the file toward the project, rather than toward a specific developer, and definitely not toward the naming convention of "/.well-known" subdirectory (which doesn't exist in many projects and has a history of glitches because it's a hidden dot directory).

IMHO success looks like making the file spec simpler, even it means skipping some of the manifest capabilities.
This might be nitpicking but 1) the ram is not integrated into the chip, per se, it's still discrete and soldered on a PCB right next to the CPU, and 2) the increased speed comes from additional memory channels built into the M-series CPUs, not necessarily the fact that the memory is closer to the CPU.

It is true that it's not currently feasible to have socketed memory in a laptop offering 8+ memory channels to enable 200GB/sec+ bandwidth, but you can absolutely get the same (or greater!) memory speeds as an M-series CPU from an x86 desktop workstation.

If Intel/AMD wanted to prioritize memory bandwidth, they could probably work with JEDEC or another industry org to develop a new standard for socketed memory with multiple channels per socket, to enable the kind of speeds that Apple offers. The fact that they haven't (to my knowledge) indicates to me that they don't see it as a big enough priority or benefit.
I work with and am friends with many Cuban immigrants and former Soviet bloc country immigrants. I think I’ll ask them if they would trade the freedom and security they have now for the guarantee against homelessness they had then (and all that other stuff).

Pretty sure none will be willing to trade back and would view any attempts at establishing public housing for all as a scary step in the wrong direction.
