> I feel hardware technology can improve further to allow under-the-LED-display cameras

Everything but your smartphone is big enough that you'd to sprinkle your entire screen area with sensors to get the sense of me looking at you. And, that won't be cheap.

Say my laptop had a sensor dead center and I was in a group chat. Only the person dead center would see me looking to the camera.

This is better done in software.
No… I’m trying to move to bloommerewede.nl. Hardly a monstrosity
I was not actually aware of the paper, and it is indeed pure gold, thanks for linking it. It is _also_ extremely timely, as with my current project (TigerBeetle), we are exactly at the point of transition from first-principles back-of-the-envelope performance architecture to measurement-driven performance engineering, and all the advice here is directly applicable!
That requires opening a firewall port on router. For some people, that might not be possible. Either due to ISP restrictions such as CGNAT. In those cases, they're better off using something like Tailscale.
It'd be interesting to see a study on low E coatings, the argon and other exotic fillings, and of course, ye olde "close the curtain" (which I acknowledge heats up inside the dwelling but still can reflect some) versus awnings. I wouldn't be terribly surprised that the answer comes out either that modern approaches are competitive or even superior overall (especially with the "close the curtain" backup)... but of course, a building has to actually have them before they can help, and that would still leave a decades-large temporal hole between "awnings became unpopular" and "awnings are no longer terribly useful" that can still be explored.
Or maybe the populace is being poisoned and their leaders need to behave like idiots to control a herd of dumb'ed down and stupid beings.
It'd be nice if one didn't immediately hit a login wall for this.
If that's the case, I hope CF is making a big, periodic, donation to IA for the business value provided.
This is so unbelievably stupid.

You’re paying a subscription for prerecorded soundbytes on a collar. It’s not even a chatbot (which the article makes clear later on, despite the title).

And the idea allegedly came to the guy when his dog was bitten by a snake and he thought “could I have helped the dog sooner if he had been able to tell me what happened?” Yeah buddy, you could have, but your collar wouldn’t have done that in the slightest.
every time I update macOS, some of the system settings are changed to default including some in the firewall

Windows has also been doing that for some time now. Only Linux is relatively "clean" from that perspective, but even now some distros are beginning to sneak in spyware. The enshittification of OSes continues...
imo TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that adds static types, enabling better error checking and code scalability, while JavaScript is a dynamically-typed language with no built-in type-checking so most projects that's complex and large could benefit from TypeScript's tooling and safety

> I don't quite like the normalization of AI tampering with actual videos and photos casually -- on mobile phone cameras or elsewhere.

I agree. This is one of the things that I actively worry about.
> The problem is the customers who are impressed by the human-sounding bot (sounding human is exactly what an LLM is for) and mentally ascribe human skills and thought processes to it.

This is the key issue, I think.

> it was never intended to be able to do this

But to be fair, plenty of technologies start off that way until someone finds a way to make the technology do something it was never intended to do
Show HN: I'm building a platform for the sharing art you love
So I made a website that enables people to share the art they create or like. I made it because this is what I'm passionate about. I made Bursts to be something clean, simple, and nimble.

So you create an account and share stuff you like. That's it. You can follow people if you like their stuff, then on the homepage you get a chronological feed showing the images from everyone you follow. You can also comment on stuff: the usual things.

I'm eventually going to charge a small recurring fee for this, but since I love you guys so much, I'm making it 100% free for life for anyone who signs up over the next little while.

*tl;dr* I made a social network for sharing art. It's free at this moment, but not for long.

ps. expect bugs. Report them via the link in the footer if you'd be so kind.
Because all operating systems are terrible but the rest are so incredibly bad that Apple’s are still by far the best, once you add up time saved by features and capabilities and subtract time lost to pain-in-the-ass brokenness.

(Two decades on DOS/Windows home series and NT, at least for gaming and sometimes work, twelve years with Linux as my main desktop OS, started on Android for smartphones, before finally giving Apple a fair chance around 2011 or 2012… because I was issued a MacBook at work and was doing dual-platform mobile dev—FWIW I was rooting for BeOS back when it was still a thing, it was great)
> DX'ing and contesting

apologies, I'm ignorant when it comes to HAM but have always been interested in it: what does DX'ing and contesting mean? I'm assuming DX = talking to other HAMs, but I can't figure out what contesting would be.
I mean this genuinely: why do you choose to quote and trust some unreferenced and completely arbitrary 500 million population number that some bizarre unidentified group of people with zero accountability carved into a random stone monument 45 years ago, but "have zero fear of global warming" despite the alarm bells rung by modern, rigorously studied, data- and evidence-informed scientific discourse? Why should readers of this comment give any credence whatsoever to the Georgia Guidestones?

> from a legal perspective, it is not treated as a secured loan

Repos are collateralized and thus secured [1]. Legally, they don’t need to be because if the borrower defaults they just don’t buy back the asset; the seller has no further obligation to sell it to them and carries on their merry way.

Repos do however, require special exemptions to avoid being traded as purchases and sales by the IRS, so this is unlikely a valid workaround to a continuous step-up basis czar.

Isn't a "moment" a very narrow snapshot in time by definition?

They would compliment each other because the purpose of the awning is to prevent the heat of the sun from entering the house. Once it's in, even if there are insulating curtains, the heat is still in the house.
The cost of infrastructure to a house is only a tiny fraction of the cost. This is where you (and strongtowns who advocates for this view) fail! Sure they will spend $10million/mile to pave a road, but that road will be used by many people for a few decades before it needs to be redone and so the true cost is only a few dollars per year per person, even in rural areas.

Massachusetts requires estates worth $1M+ to report for estate taxes. There's something like a $60k exemption and then it's a progressive rate system.

Based on what I'm seeing, a $2M Massachusetts estate would have $50k of estate taxes to pay, a 2.5% effective tax rate.

In the end though only 12 states have an estate tax, and Massachusetts has the lowest threshold and highest rates.
And it’s funny how much effort has been expended finding ridiculous items like this and ignoring the message of Jesus or following what he said. Imagine Jesus’ response if you showed him a cup he used or a splinter of the cross he died on. “Okay…” But I get it, humans like relics and totems, I think it is hard coded in our DNA.
+1 Why would I log into something I know NOTHING about?
I'm really sorry that you had such an experience. I took a close look at the website you mentioned (https://minimator.app), and it's indeed a beautiful and fun tool. In comparison, my website does seem quite rough, especially when there are so many alternatives out there that offer similar functionality but with much better design.

Being labeled as 'AI spam' was never my intention. I genuinely hope that the product I created can actually help users because I myself have found a lot of joy in the process of AI-generated art. I want to make something better to help others, but unfortunately, my current starting point seems quite poor.

Thank you for your feedback, and once again, I apologize for the negative experience. I'll start by working on the design suggestions you provided to make my product better, more unique, and more valuable.
Not to mention that they are discriminating against fields of endeavors, and also requiring anyone that uses Llama in any shape or form to display "Built with Llama" prominently.

As far as I know, no one does that (https://ollama.com as an example of a platform that breaks Llama's terms and conditions) and Meta isn't enforcing it. But who knows, they might do so in the future.

Not sure how any sane person can claim Llama is Open Source after realizing these things.
Indeed, without more than a login this stinks of a tool to harvest email addresses and/or google accounts from HN users.
You continue to claim that not voting or that voting for Hannibal Lecter is OK in that it's really some sort of a moonshot. After all you agree with me, right?

You do realize of course that if someone just wanted to get Hannibal Lecter elected, they would be making claims like these to suppress his opponent's vote?
I didn't ask the question to answer it myself. I don't know the answer. That's why I'm asking.
Maybe but I'm more concerned about a) easily demonstrable and measurable risks not being addressed and b) separating people from the consequences of their own choices.

Ignoring risk and consequences doesn't make them go away.
> Intervention every 122,000 miles is the average 17 to 18-year old.

Your source says a crash every 70,000 miles for 17 year olds, to my understanding. Number of unsafe actions that would warrant a disengagement, but didn't happen to cause a crash, would likely be significantly higher (e.g: the 17y/o driver speeds 100 times, and crashes once).
just wait, next year for sure...
It's complete as it stands.

, realise that mental health services also had poor inclusion at times and that "gambling" is being implied to fall under mental health services (and hence not addressed).

On a more serious note, gambling in Australia has some serious industry influence that's preventing it being properly addressed - see: (for example) Media Watch -s2024e31- Monday 2024-09-09 They're Addicted
> On 21 December 2001, the scope of application of the CCW and its then annexed Protocols was extended to apply to non-international armed conflicts (NIACs). However, that extension in scope only takes effect for States that ratify the extension. Israel has not done so. Israel is, however, a party to Amended Protocol II, which also, inter alia, addresses booby-traps and defines them in identical terms to those given above (CCW, Amended Protocol II, art. 2(4)). Significantly, Amended Protocol II applies to NIACs (art. 1(2) & (3)). The lawfulness of the weapon should therefore be considered by reference to Amended Protocol II.

> The information in the early reports suggests that once the arming signal has been sent, the devices used against Hezbollah in Lebanon fall within Article 7(2) and are therefore prohibited on that basis.

Both above quotes from the West Point link.

Another view:

> Based on the information that has emerged since the event, one of the law of war issues we are now better able to address is whether the pagers violated Article 7(2) of the Amended Protocol II of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (to which Israel, Lebanon, and the United States are parties).

Lebanon is a founding member of the UN. Article 7(2) definitely applies to them, as well as Israel.
Good. I'm glad. It was getting ridiculous. My wife and I are gamers. It's what we do to relax we'll often stream a movie or TV show through discord and watch together while tooling around in a game. There was a constant battle with automated copy protection that would work on some sites / shows and not others. We started doing this a lot with friends during the pandemic and having movie nights and watching stuff as a group. It's no different than sitting on my couch with friends.
It depends on the OpenVZ kernel, some later version can use WG. But OpenVZ is dying anyway so if someone use a still supported container technology, WG is probably available.

Depending on the ISP setup, sometimes WG can be less reliable due to MTU and/or UDP filtering, I remember an ISP from years ago where WG don't work only on certain hours, while OpenVPN running on the same server still work.
For many things, IB is great. Certainly if you are a futures trader it is very good, same for most equity/option trading. But for bond trading, expect a complete nightmare at tax time. Their "tax department" has no clue how to properly and consistently amortize bond premiums and quite honestly (personal experience) does not give a rats.
There certainly are spots of over-engineered solutions in today’s world, but overall I do believe things like cloud serverless, and domain-driven design (modularization) have reduced complexity in a natural fashion.

These over-engineered systems usually came out of client server architectures using heavy inheritance object pyramids, which we definitely don’t build as much anymore.
The e-reader technology is one that excites me a lot.

It seems like the Kindle color has a different tech to the one used by Kobo.

Personally, I'm waiting for a smartphone sized e-reader with a colour screen. There's one from bigme but it's using older tech, so not that good.

I think Amazon entering the color space will shake the industry a bunch. It will force others to meet the quality of the Kindle. Exciting!
I love Linux. I've just been burned too many times to trust it on my primary laptop. This is a machine with a high availability requirement -- if I have a job interview, the camera had better work right now.
Let's say you're worth $100bn. You don't need to spend $1bn a year, just even a few tens of $ millions will be plenty, so you're borrowing a minute portion of your net worth. And your stocks will be going up in value, typically, so... you'll never run out of money. Plus you'll be a great customer for the banks that lend you money, so you'll get preferential interest rates. You'll never run out of money. You'll die and still have the lion's share of your wealth, only now it will pass to your heirs and charitable foundations.
> "double taxation" is really only used when discussing inheritance taxes

It’s a common concept, e.g. in the double taxation of corporate earnings and dividends.
The thing that should be tested is whatever you are handing to a client app to use. If it is an interface, then test the interface, not the file behind it. If the client will get the file, then test that the file is correct.

So in this case, is this entire file being handed to clients to do what they will with it? Does that make sense as an interface.

If you are building an app, and you want other parts of the app, or clients of the app, to use this data, does it make sense to just hand over the entire file as the interface.

Basically :

Programmer 1: "Hey man, show me your data interface so I can build a quick lookup on something"

Programmer 2: "here is the whole damn file, do whatever you want and leave me alone. Figure it out yourself, and no I'm not going to give you a schema and I'll change it whenever I want".
Similarly, there's Kons-9 for 3D procedural imaging/modelling written in Common Lisp.
The problem is that a huge fraction of people are worth talking to, but a small fraction -- 5%? 10%? -- can poison that well so thoroughly that it is unusable. Being a ham operator takes some effort and is harder to exploit, so most people you talk to will just be normal humans -- enthusiasts. But the internet attracts every freak and scam operator in the world.

I'm reminded of various "free" rock concerts of my youth, which were often disasters -- too many people, half of them stoned or otherwise out of control, etc. -- things I quickly learned I would pay to avoid. Things that are too easy attract people I don't want to interact with.
The Gates Foundation is far more credible than effective altruism, so looking at what they do is instructive.

And they do spend a good chunk of money on housing, but they spend considerably more doing things like trying to eradicate polio.

Which indicates to me that while housing might not be the absolute most effective use of a charity dollar, it's high on the list. That feels about right to me.
It's hard not to wonder if this was staged for the tv show "Expedition Unknown", which had an exclusive to film a show at Petra that Discovery Channel has been advertising for months now.

As I said, getting sqlite in wasm to run in WAL mode such that we could start to implement replication, like for example how litestream does. Not this strawman you build, of implementing replication.
Sounds like Tesla baited you into buying two of their cars with the promise of FSD.
If you told someone at that organization (besides a programmer/developer) exactly that, they wouldn't even understand the words "feed", "push out", "timestamped", "queue" and "host", so no wonder people opt for the simplest possible solution, especially when they might have a underpaid and overworked IT department that barely have programmers in it, if any.
> To me it’s really despicable the lack of respect we give these incredibly talented contractors who were able to design and construct these solid structures that have withstood the test of time without the use of computers, power tools, or energy codes.

Chronological snobbery is a whiggish habit.

If anything, architecture today is lazy and mediocre, especially given our technological advantages. People even used to factor in the path of the sun and the direction of the wind to position a house. Some architects and contractors might still do that, but I don't think this is common, because, hey, we have HVAC, and hey, we just want to slap together and flip a shitty development as quickly as possible.

The lack of care, the lack of concern for urban planning, the misuse of material in a given environment, the use of inferior materials and building methods, the lack of concern for posterity who will inherit our mess, the waste, the ugliness -- it's all shameful. If anything comes out of this "green revolution", I hope it is at least a course correction in this space.

In most jurisdictions with the a land ownership model based on torrens title, this is inherent in the system, its called the Fee Simple Estate (with Crown or equiv being above this), with leasehold and life estates being below fee simple.

But you will find in most places the 'Crowns' abilities to exercise its ownership rights is fairly neutered and reserved for reasons the layman would refer to as eminent domain.

All I know is that I personally have stopped giving audio and video any benefit of the doubt. I think it's risky to accept any recording as representative of truth unless you or someone you trust was there at the time of the recording to vouch for its correctness.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I find it somewhat non-intuitive that each stroke / circle / box is automatically its own layer, rather than the layers being explicit, as they are in Inkscape. That makes the layers essentially useless for me.
Once the amounts get lumpy there needs to be complete assessment of counterparty risk (you). IB can't assume that you are only borrowing from them and that the collateral in your account won't first be liened by another party, etc.

From my friends who are on ozempic, yes it has literally done just that. Along with the fact because they are driven to eat less they, in general are less snacky (and thus eat less chips) and tend to avoid greasy/fried foods because combined with the medicine it leaves them feeling worse afterwards than eating a similar "healthier meal".

Yes N=2, small sample sizes, but I could also see how being less snacky makes one less likely to eat chips. (Why I almost pathologically don't keep easy to eat food in my pantry, granted this can also backfire too).

Stupidly enough, "my" software is a routing control plane (FRRouting), so what I need to support are exactly those embedded things. I'm not sure anyone uses FRRouting on a s390x machine. But maybe we should go ask IBM anyway, a BE system is a BE system…

qemu CPU emulation exists too, but that's painfully slow for an actual CI run, and I'm not sure I trust it enough with e.g. AF_NETLINK translation to use the "-user" variant on top of an LE host rather than booting a full Linux (or even BSD).

And in the very best case, proper testing would pit BE and LE systems "against" each other; if I run tests on BE against itself there's a good risk of mis-encodings on send being mis-decoded back on receive and thus not showing as breakage…

… really, it's just a pain to deal with. Even the beauty (in my eyes) of these T4240 ppc64 systems doesn't bridge that :(
I'd have to look at the specifics, but unless they did things like sell stock to buy social media companies, they shouldn't have to pay a dime in taxes if they only borrow to cover their normal expenditures.
