My next self-purchased laptop is also going to be one that is not a Mac and buying a 2-3 year extended warranty wouldn't cost half or one third of its price. It will also not increase its price by 25-30% if I choose to double the RAM (and by double I mean 8 to 16, not 32 or so). I asked an Apple fan once why Apple still has 8GB RAM even in their pro models and I got the response because it's Apple, you don't need more than 8GB RAM. And I actually realised why Apple gets away with such practises. They are like the 99.978% of Apple's customer base. They stand in queues to get the latest Apple device and then cry out of joy.

I bought a Dell laptop in 2007 and I was able to "deselect" Windows and it actually had reduced the price. I could do that in the third world and online and in 2007 (again!). I also got home repair in not a tier 1 city of that third world country. I think we went degradingly backwards from there.

Ask HN: Why do lawyers run the FCC?
I just learned that all FCC commissioners are lawyers:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Communications_Commission#Commissioners_2

In addition to their law degrees, 4 have B.A. degrees and 1 has a B.M. degree. I imagine if you asked them basic networking questions (e.g. how do you determine the maximum transfer speed between two points in a network based on diagrams showing the transfer rates of all network segments), they would have no idea how to answer them, yet you would think people appointed to make regulatory decisions would be required to understand the thing they are regulating. It is plainly obvious that they do not understand these things given the recent “coffee” analogy. It is also obvious to me that even the ones who do not back the “coffee” analogy have no idea what they are doing given that any engineer should have considered data transfer caps to be a top issue, yet they are only getting to it now, even though the current FCC chair has been with the FCC since before data transfer caps existed. That brings me to my question:

Why are lawyers and not engineers running an agency that regulates telecommunications? Also, why does nobody talk about this?

The web server of the nas is exposed to the Internet (port forwarding of 80 from the router to the nas); the rest of the nas is not exposed / not accessible from outside the LAN.

The images that are published are low-res versions copied to a directory on a partition accessible to the web server.

This is not the safest solution, as it does punch a hole in the lan... It's kind of an experiment... We'll see how it goes.
my guess is because it required blatantly lying about not being a comms channels. it would definitely give different.
Reinventing Core Data Development with SwiftData Principles
Hardly different from downloading random binary installers and executing them. Or random source distributions and (sudo) make install. Or npm/pip/cargo/etc. install random packages. Before anyone mentions distros and package managers, as a former team member of a major package manager I can assure you we don’t vet shit beyond project notability, and new versions are accepted semi-automatically. We’ll yank something after the fact if you report a malicious update, sure.

curl | bash has an actual problem: potential execution of an incomplete script (which can be mitigated with function calling). And there’s the mostly theoretical problem of the server being pwned / sending malicious code just to you (which of course also applies to any other unsigned channel). Arbitrary code execution is never a problem unique to it, but people dunk on it all the time because they saw another person dunking on it in the past.
yep exactly. 'healthcare' should be called 'disease care' . Most ppl are too far gone to recover from their illness by the time they go to the doctor.

All the medicines they prescribe are merely to manage symptoms. I have GERD and reflux. I was given PPI after many many tests. How does taking PPI extend my lifespan. Whatever has gone wrong with my body is still there.

How is this not obvious to ppl making this absurd correlation between hospital care and lifespan.

Medicine doesn't have shit of new breed of diseases and disorders ppl are dying from. Doctors don't have answers to any of modern illnesses so how does it matter if access to a useless person is govt funded or 'free market'.
Thats hilarious! :D
I've been playing around with NotebookLM the last few weeks, and one use case that I really found interesting was turning papers I might have a cursory interest in into podcasts

I found myself doing that more and more, turning a list of papers/essays into podcasts and then just listening to them in a playlist as I went about my day

I figured there might be some more people interested in something like this, so I put together this app

The content isn't perfect, but listening to a mediocre podcast about a paper is better than not reading the paper at all

No API for NotebookLM yet, so I have to do this manually. But I'll be adding more podcasts to this as and when I have the time

> No you don't, you need a normal (for example) ssh-tunnel, not a "VPN"...trust me ;)

Yes I do. (See how tiring this is getting?)

I don’t want an SSH tunnel when wireguard does the same thing but faster and with an iOS app that works correctly out of the box. I’m aware of SSH tunnels and that’s how I used to do things back in 2008 but times have changed and wireguard is infinitely better at that use case.

> You want to actively weakening a system that was made for one thing only (a point to point encrypted tunnel with no exceptions of data flow), but hey go on and make your setup a cobbled mess, but don't cry about leaked information.

Nobody’s talking about weakening anything here, you’re coming into a conversation where someone said “use cases differ”, and you’re trying to deny that reality… every time someone shows you a different use case you childishly shout “nuh uh” and act like such a use case is wrong because it invalidates your point.

A split tunnel VPN is a valid use case, period. It’s not the only use case. People who want full tunnel where all traffic goes through the tunnel, ALSO have a valid use case. But it doesn’t mean split tunnel is not a thing, and it doesn’t mean people who want split tunnels are wrong.
If it's written in rust, you might expect less security vulnerabilities (especially if the codebase is also smaller: NB this is potentially counterbalanced by the many eyes on linux). Maybe there would be some extra features you find useful.

Well with more CO2 you have more convection, the higher atmosphere is actually cooling because of the nice CO2 blanket that keeps heat trapped lower. (Which by the way prooves that it's not the sun's natural variability that's the cause, otherwise the higher atmosphere would also get warmer)
This temperature differential between low and high atmosphere then means more convection, more evaporation, more movement of air and water. Look just read up on this ok, it's not that hard.
The weird thing is, it's a mechanic that everyone already knew didn't work; dating sites, who pioneered pay-for-attention a few decades ago, have learned that they generally have to ration it to avoid it clogging up the whole system with something that no-one wants to see (if you open Tinder, and every profile you see is of people who feel the need to pay to get attention, say, then you'll probably uninstall Tinder).

I'm _kind_ of surprised Twitter didn't rip off one of the dating site rationing approaches ("You get 5 boosts a month with Twitter Premium" or similar). Just flat-out pushing every single reply by every single pay-for-attention user is obviously doomed to fail.

I have a theory for why developers complain it is too low. A large recurring “donation” can be a bit of a trap.

In practice it can be an hidden freelancing or employment relationship.

Donators actually expect you to do things in return, for example with cURL they expect the developer to do security fixes.

Otherwise they will not get the “donation” the next month

It may not be written on a paper for legal reasons, but it is made for a good reason.

A true donation you do not expect for anything in return.

This could explain why they consider donation too low. A gift cannot be too small. But a gift where the giver has very high expectations in return may be too low.

What do you gain by talking about absolute numbers? They are meaningless. By this logic, Musk could pay only $1 million in tax and still would've "contributed more to the country" than most individuals.

If you talk about taxes percentage-wise, you make clear that the super-rich do not pay their fair share, that they will get richer faster than everybody else and, the most important fact, that long-term stability might suffer, because the bigger the divide between rich and poor, the more civil unrest follows.

Is this something you know firsthand or something you think you know because a huge amount of money has gone into spreading that message for political purposes? Anyone who’s worked for or with a multi-national knows that they’re hardly as efficient as the marketing would have you believe, and anyone who’s looked at libertarian media knows that it’s almost entirely funded by rich people seeking tax & regulatory reductions, banking on you confusing their interests with your own.
> We need to embrace carbon-free electricity (whether its nuclear or solar or whatever) and electrify as many things as possible.

We need to do that (and even that is proving very hard, looking at the issues building out electrified ground transport and electrifying heating) and it will help a lot, but it won't be enough.

We have quite a few sectors where (economic or even feasible) non-carbon solutions aren't very forthcoming: Especially in (animal-based) food and aviation, but also manufacturing of e.g. new steel or concrete. These account for a huge chunk of emissions and reducing their emissions close to 0 in the next 20 years doesn't seem very likely. Looking at other technologies that are currently economically viable, such as solar, wind, electric cars or LED lighting, 20 years for nearly full adoption is very optimistic.

Reducing emissions there will mean also reducing consumption (and thus production, or the other way around) of those products. If we only accept superior technology as a means to "solve" climate change, we won't.

That'll very likely not mean degrowth as a whole as many sectors of the economy, especially the growing ones, are very compatible with an "electrify-everything" approach.
Don't treat the CPU board as the host but a peripheral. ;-)

But I'd say it's much closer to Ethernet than USB. You have controllers (routers), switches and nodes... USB doesn't, not like this.
Valgrind can only tell you about issues that your testcases exercise. It doesn't provide the same guarantees as static checking of memory safety invariants. But, if you're really concerned (especially about unsafe code), belt-and-bracers is a good strategy, and valgrind will work with rust binaries as well. Rust also has a tool called MIRI which can similarly flag up issues in testcases (it's effectively an interpreter for the intermediate representation in the compiler, and it can detect undefined behaviour even if the compiled assembly would happen to look OK. Still has the same limitation of needing extensive testcases though)
"less likely to die from drug overdoses. Older age groups are also less likely to die from chronic diseases such as circulatory problems and heart disease.

So what does this have anything to do with healthcare system ( govt or free market) .

Is that true in the EU? In the US, there are certainly agencies and local governments who primarily or only communicate real time news through Twitter.

A big 30-year Danish study that seems to be one of the main ones referenced for this purpose sure appears to be doing exactly what I worried it was: measuring the predictive power of BMI for mortality, not the healthiest weight for someone to maintain, which are different things. I see nothing in the abstract & methods about correcting for sick people tending to lose weight, and the healthiest BMI creeping up over time as mean population BMI increased, plus the U-shaped mortality curve, really do look like what you’d expect to see if they’re not accounting for that.

> Do they cause it in excess of normal weight loss in the same time period?

I think you mean diet and exercise when you say 'normal'. Its not possible to have that much 'normal weight loss' in the 'same period'.

> The weights are the "preferred form of the work for making modifications to it", to quote the GPL. The rest is just the infrastructure used to produce the work.

I disagree with this, if you want to actually have a fundamental impact on the model, the real work and innovation goes into how the training is done, and the architecture of the model. That's the "source", and what Meta et al is currently trying to protect and keep private.

Guess why they're so adamant at keeping the training code secret?

Besides that, I agree wholeheartedly with you :)
Yeah, last time I checked they weren't doing any timestaping.

Understanding Pam and Creating a Custom Module in Python – Inside Out Insights
I hate open source and would consider myself the chief anti-open source crusader online. I always try to avoid FOSS and pay indie developers for their software. However, in a few cases I've been forced to use FOSS solutions when there's been no other alternative, and then I donate to the creator of it. And I always see the same thing. Thousands and thousands of downloads over the years and the creator has earned only a hundred dollars in donations.

It's pathetic, and just shows that most people haven't evolved spiritually beyond being freeloaders whenever they can.

No wonder millions would rather stand in line the whole day to get free bread than pay just a little for their food.

In Europe it is to some extent, with the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive. Shades or awnings aren't required, but for every new building or renovation the overheating potential must be calculated and gets added to the building's "energy score", and buildings with an energy score that is too high either don't get a permit or the owners get fined.
A house I lived in during the pandemic had a pergola covered in wisteria vines over the south facing windows. In the summer the vines would leaf out and block most of the hot sun, and in the winter the leaves fell away and let in a ton of light.
