There has always been high immigration in the US, its a country built on immigration!! Like others have said, the current levels are not higher then in the past, its just the political parties that are using it to hide the real problems of ultra rich and corporations abusing the country. In regards to changing society; what is changing? The language? Again, the US is built on immigrants. Are the Italian - Americans in NY going to stop being Italian - Americans all of a sudden? No, they will continue being who they are; maybe they will pick up another language or some new recipes for their cookbooks.
What’s specific about next.js that makes it difficult to host vs a node app?
Presumably this also links to your shadow profile and all of the traffic to the FB tracking pixels from your IP.
I really like the concept of gnod. I started creating notebookLM audios of hacker news posts and realised it would be nice to have a directory of notebookLM audios generally.
Will send you an email shortly about this. Would be nice to find someone to collaborate with on this.
Blockchains compete with the existing financial system, which is largely held together by the major central banks and commercial banks.

And because of poor timing as mentioned, they just seem like a shabby deal since nowadays it’s entirely possible to get nearly all the benefits in the existing system without the drawbacks.
I enjoy my breville 3-1 combiwave, decent UI, inverter (quiet), option to turn off turntable and silent mode. Works as oven/airfrier with easy to clean tray, hence 3-1... can do all 3 together hence combiwave... but I still haven't figured out what to use it on. Oh... soft close door! It's pretty steep at 700 for microwave, but not 4000 for a miele speed oven that's more oven.
Passkeys are terrifying, and I don’t understand why the companies pushing them are doing so. What are their motives? What do they gain from catastrophically increasing the risk that users completely lose access to our ability to conduct our lives?

If someone steals my phone today, I can still access most of my accounts, and can regain access quickly to the others.

Now let’s assume passkeys are ubiquitous and used to log in to every website.

If they can’t be exported, then your entire digital existence is at the mercy of whatever device or technology platform you use to store your passkeys. If you lose access to the platform, you also permanently lose access to every single account you’ve ever signed up for. For me, that would include losing access to my retirement savings, tax records, and the ability to communicate with many of my friends, to give a few examples.

My computer also doesn’t have Bluetooth, which means I can no longer log in to any websites on it even when I do have access to my passkeys.
Great piece! Thanks for sharing!

They share a quote from Vidor which I liked:

> The march of man, as I see it, is not from the cradle to the grave. It is instead, from the animal or physical to the spiritual. The airplane, the atom bomb, radio, radar, television are all evidences of the urge to overcome the limitations of the physical in favor of the freedom of the spirit. Man, whether he is conscious of it or not, knows deep inside that he has a definite upward mission to perform during the time of his life span.

But I would also add, that after physical to spiritual, the path completes with spiritual to physical again.

I think it is in some way why he chose the ending of the film between the seven candidates that he had:

> “Since he managed to enjoy life, and therefore conquer it, in this simple and inoffensive way”, explained the director, “the camera moved back and up to lose him in the crowd as it had found him.”
> Do you happen to have a concrete solution?

Don't buy Apple products?

at least until they clear their act...
I've found that Send to Kindle does a much worse job at converting to MOBI than Calibre, which is a bit ironic but on par with Amazon's overall treatment of non-Kindle books.

I was thinking about cell-based distributed systems years ago and I haven´t yet figured out how to handle their complexity, unreliable connectivity and, as always, what use cases there might even be.
>This is completely false. Nuclear energy is profitable pretty much everywhere it is used.

Not if you consider the full costs. Every official source you find only shows the costs that the operators have to pay, but the operators never pay the full cost. No nuclear power plant that I have found documentation for anywhere is operated without immense national subsidies.

You mention Hinkley point and say that they will generate 150 billion euros in income over 80 years. Let's assume that's about right and look further.

It is currently estimated to cost over 40 billion to build. Now we're at 110 billion.
The storage facility will likely be Sellafield, which has a yearly budget of around 2.5 billion per year, times 80 years is 200 billion. Now we're at negative 90 billion.

Negative 90 billion already while the plants are actually operational. But the waste has to be managed for longer than that. For centuries after the plants have been closed, in fact. So we're at negative what, 300, 400 billion over the lifetime of costs.

This is also without considering any cost of operations. We assume here that 1000 people operating the plant work for free, never need any equipment, the plant never need maintenance, and the calculation still has a debt of several hundred billion.

Now you might say wait, that makes no sense, then EDF (the operator) would be unprofitable and go bankrupt!

Yes, and they did, a few years ago.

France covered the bill of over 50 billion euros in debt and also the upcoming 20 or so more billions in repair and maintenance. EDF was unprofitable even when they neglected required repairs and maintenance.

Again, nuclear is not profitable. Now, since the costs are mostly covered by governments and future generations, short-sighted investors and quarterly earnings-focused companies will of course go along with the pretense that it is.

Amazon is buying the subsidized unrealistic purchase price because that's what's going to be relevant to them. When the operator goes bankrupt because the costs turn out to be way more than they calculated with, it's not Amazon's problem. It's the US taxpayer's problem.
Hey Matt, you're behaving like a normal abuser who's successfully managed to mask up to this point. None of your behavior is clever. If you continue down this path, it's not going to be good for you.
You can just not celebrate columbus; I don't think anyone is poorer for it.
They added the third identifier to detect ban evasion by changing the Steam ID and the IP address.

They implemented some specific exceptions but generally recommended to not play on untrusted networks to avoid getting banned along cheaters in the same network.

That's my take from the article.
Cue the EU in 3,2,1 ...
Why something so strong and not melatonin?

Real question, never tried any.
I have heard that the parking charges at Heathrow and the major hub airports are very expensive. Companies do not park their planes for longer than necessary (e.g. getting passengers on and off) during normal times.

Given this, one would imagine the planes going any place cheaper during that time.

I agree, not seeing any planes at all on the ground looks strange and exceptional. It was an exceptional time. Maybe they made a composite image?

---

A very quick search about this fact showed the following (I'm sure someone would be able to fully investigate and find better and more accurate data with more time)

"However, with aircraft parking charges at major European airports often exceeding £200 per hour for the largest airframes, less expensive storage sites were required"

Note that this article says that Heathrow did have some planes on the ground in May of 2020 (only a month later but outside of peak lockdown).

"Aircraft on ground" which might just refer to broken planes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_on_ground

"$10,000 to $20,000 and possibly even as high as $150,000 per hour"
Absolutely not. They do invasive changes all the time. At work we maintain an LLVM compatibility library that provides a stable interface across different LLVM versions. It has grown quite big over the years. The pure C interface is in comparison much more stable, but also quite limited.

Not just the API changes, the LLVM IR syntax can change drastically as well. E.g. not too long ago they switched from types pointer types to opaque pointers. `i32*` just becomes `ptr`. [1]

That’s not right, I always buy books from Amazon over WiFi but also sync my books from Calibre. No issues for probably 10 years.
Once you buy the blu-rays, there's no need to rip them. You can just download them, as you already have a license.

Come to think of it, you can skip the first step too, and just download them.
That's a neat vulnerability chain and a great writeup. Appreciated the breakdown of the vulnerable code as well!

I'm always impressed by the simplicity of tricks like "Press F12 to try again", this is just so naughty :)
That system incentives against it. Your inventory becomes locked meaning worthless if you get the proper ban. So for farming stuff, it is much better not to cheat.

Not that there isn't options of making money that do benefit from cheating. Like creating high ranking accounts to sell. Which some people buy for the status of the rank...
But ACPI and UEFI won't solve anything. We already have devicetrees that are open and free vs. ACPI and UEFI that are just binary blobs. It would be even worse than Broadcom blobs on Raspberry Pi.

What you probably want is less variability in SoC devices. Now each chip has a different SDHCI, different USB, different UART and different I2c, each needing a different driver. x86 only has 2: the Intel variant or the AMD variant.
Hanlon's Razor: never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by incompetence or stupidity.
In the case of CSGO, playing means earning lootboxes, and the items contained therein can be resold / auctioned off. It's the same problem as in Diablo 3 when it first launched, you could sell items found (randomly) in-game for real money. I read one guy's project, I'm sure it was posted on HN, who had 25 bots / copies of the game running to monitor the in-game currency market for deals, then resell those for real money.

Every once in a while there would be a ban wave - implying bot detection and handling was a manual / batch job process - but he'd just get 25 new copies / accounts, the income he made was more than enough to make up for it.

Of course, that assumes he was able to funnel the money out quick enough. And also, both Valve and Blizzard have their own incentive to not be too hard on bots, as they get a cut for every transaction. As long as people don't stop playing / paying because of bots.
I mean, isn't the idea from them that you have 2 or more of them?

Shure not everybody does that and some sites don't really support that but thinking about this concept of having "physical key s" to your data makes a lot of sense to me.

Don't know how this change will affect my trust in the concept
nothing specific about next.js but its widely used and this guy chose to provide a easy hands-free tool for that very popular framework
The computer onboard likely merges everything into a final image in space?
Nobody wants to be resonsible for giving allowing exceptions in security-matters. Its far easier to ignore the problems at hand, then to risk being wrong just once.
You still need to allocate physical space for 1) the cryptographic circuitry of the token 2) the tamperproof and stress-resistant enclosure. Depending on the form factor, you might not have that much physical space left for storage. The physical requirements for a token are much more complex than a plain USB drive.
beware for large apps, if you don't have heavily splitted your app with dynamic imports, vitejs is frustratingly slow by loading each ESM module separately. Seems that rspac has others interesting tradeoffs.

Works great once loaded though.

The article reveals depressing reasons why someone might choose to work for the lines of Palantir: lots of talented people working on hard problems. That's pretty much it. No problem with the business model, just intellectual hunger. I'm sure the pay didn't hurt.

We need to teach our students that the employment they take doesn't exist in a vacuum. Your choice of employee can impact not only yourself but the wider world. There's more to life than intellectual satisfaction.
The pager attack cannot be considered a discriminating attack as they had no idea where the explosions would happen. Even assuming that only military personnel used the pagers they had no way to know where they would be or who else would be near them, especially since a pager is something you always carry with you.
Possible doesnt mean "requires same ammount of effort"
Yes, I would. Experts are expected to relay back to their client with their thoughts on a matter, not just blindly do as they're told. Your builder is meant to do their due diligence, which includes making recommendations.
Thank you for your feedback.

We will take this into consideration for future interactions.
This was, arguably, a huge driver for Kindle sales in such countries (mine included), as that $20 or whatever saved made much more of a difference for people there.
Sure, it would discard a lot of data / noise, and would send a preview over first, but like with the Pluto probe, they do want to get as much data as possible, as an image is only a representation thereof.
Yep. That's what I've built for myself, I just can't really get at the data inside ArchiveBox until I upgrade.
Even the definition of a lisp is blurry when we zoom in to find the seperation boundry
Is there a possibility to use the Qualcomm SNPE SDK? I thought this SDK isn't bad. Also, for those who have access to the Qualcomm NPU: Is the Hexagon SDK working properly? Do apps still need to be signed (which i never got to work) when using Hexagon?
> I mean, isn't the idea from them that you have 2 or more of them?

So now I need to buy an extra phone from a different manufacturer than the one I already own, or sign up for another paid service? I’m starting to see what their motive might be now.

Is it even a requirement of the passkey standard to allow the user to create more than one passkey for your website?
> withdrew all settlements and military presence from Gaza, supposedly giving them what they wanted - no more settlements.

No settlements != No occupation
Your words are interesting, but they need a strong source of truth to be relevant. Would you please like to add an URL that supports your thesis? Thanks!
For a comparable endeavour, they combined the data of telescopes across the world to create a planet-diameter-sized telescope and with that, the first image of a black hole; extending something like that solar-system-wide would make a solar-system-wide telescope. I'm no astronomer but I'd say it's worth it.

Seems pretty exciting, waiting for the day you can combine AI image recognition and some sort of AESA radar to computationally zap whatever you put into the the microwave.
Why? Please explain and add some sources that support your thesis, thanks!
Are you really asking if it’s illegal to download books from a piracy site?
I just wish this brings more research into Thorium based reactors, as they seem to be the future of sustainable nuclear power. Maybe a SMR powered by Thorium in the future? Who knows.
I think so, as long as you know how far away your target is (the focal point) to position the sender, and you need a way to send the signals at the right angles "skimming" the sun at the right distance. (note: armchair amateur, this is just conjecture / thought experiments)
you're correct it doesn't work ; some of axios.com stories are linked that way as well, it's irritating
I wouldn't compare this to NotebookLM; this is more like a ChatGPT-generated script plus ElevenLabs. It doesn't have the feel of NotebookLM.
In my experience using it for story telling, no. Even their largest model likes to produce garbage which isn't even words when you turn the temperature up a bit. And without that it's really bland.
Hi! Noted. Alternatively, you can use the validate command, which will show you the transformation differences:

Yeah, I personally don't see any need to maintain a digital book library (like with calibre) when libgen is so accessible. Email to Kindle is a great feature; I've also never had anything unexpectedly deleted.
Someone found a prehistoric hand axe on their property. They realize it must have been one of the nicest hand axes of its time. They decide to donate it to a museum, so everyone can appreciate that marvel of human civilization.

Being an extraordinarily nice axe, its original creator must surely have taken proper care of it and kept it clean, but over the years it clearly accumulated some dirt and a few modifications. Not wanting to damage an important historic artifact, the finder decides to leave the patina alone and donates the axe as found.

The museum requires the donor to add an exhibit label. Unfortunately, the finder being Belgian and speaking only French, there is a severe misunderstanding about the purpose of the axe.

On the day the exhibit is first shown to the public, hell breaks loose. People threaten to sue because the dirty prehistoric axe is against all regulations that apply to contemporary axes. Some attempts are made to remove the dirt, but only in a way that preserves the dirt, which enrages the other camp even more.

Ultimately, the exhibit is withdrawn from the museum, but luckily many had a chance to make copies and 3D copies that they keep safely in their private collections.
I like the concept, great idea!
A firewall, as they're usually set up, only prevents incoming connections, not calling home and downloading commands.

Would be nice. But I think after hours/days of working with lisp, the brain starts to see it at sweet expressions. That is why all tries to go away from s-exp don't get traction: anytime anybody starts doing it, pretty fast discovers it is really not needed.
mostly negative, tragic news - either war or mass casuals.
The commenter is wrong. There is not a single analogy between the development of AI and evolution.
Given the severity, I can't help but feel that this is underpaid at the scale Google is at. Chrome is so ubiquitous and vulnerabilities like these could hit hard. Last thing they need to do is to send the signal that it's better to sell these on the black market.
I do use that, but what I want is some idea of progress or pages remaining within the chapter.
In the three body problem she uses some property of the Sun's internal layers to amplify the signal. In reality we don't know of any actual property in the Sun that could do this.

The gravitational lens idea is different, it makes use of a known phenomenom where the Sun's gravity "bends" light rays moving around it, which can amplify the light coming from far away objects. In principle you could run it backwards, so the lens could amplify signals we send as well.
> In other words: What if the problem with Lisp this whole time really was the parentheses? ;)

I am yet to find a syntax style more ergonomic than s-expressions. Once you appreciate the power of structural code editing your view of s-expressions is likely to change
EU chip production is negligible, the change rate is positive but again negligible (single 16nm fab). US has some spending but rely heavily on Intel. That says a lot. So, it's Taiwan and Korea. Though TSMC and Samsung are scaling up capacity, they won't do it to the scale as AI-bros want it. It's too big of a risk to have over-capacity in a downturn. This happened in the past several times and the industry learned to always stay couple of steps behind the hype. Similar to oil and gas industry.
Even worse, now people will not automatically immediately kick them from the server.
Did you watch the transformed video with the settings above?

I think you misunderstand the role of "Look Away": it's not like it looks completely sideways, inventing behaviour that does not exist; instead it looks "away" _from the fixed point that would be dead-on camera center_ (that results in this "I'm gonna pierce through your skull with laser eyes" look), substituting it with "when looking - not aiming/scrutinizing - at something, even continuously, human eyes have saccades"

The whole premise of such software (which has already been implemented by Apple in FaceTime with great success) is to _restore_ the reality which is "I'm looking at you but the mechanical offset between camera and window-on-screen destroys the information that I'm in fact looking at you", not invent something that is not real.

Ideally it would even:

- notice actual saccades and reproduce them, only cancelling the offset (super tough, so the next best thing is to fake it, but since these are small, uncontrolled, random-ish movements the approximation is quite sufficient)

- take into account video window position relative to the camera so that if I'm looking away from the window then it stops compensating.

But hey, first implementations are often naive. I give them credit for implementing Look Away because that's one step beyond the naive implementation. I guess it's not the default + tuneables are there because it's still early.
Orbiting instruments typically transmit raw instruments data blocked into lines or segments that are are each surrounded by checksums.

It might be compressed for transmission, but raw data (warts and all) is king .. once it's "processed" and raw data is discarded .. there's no recovering the raw.

Years later raw data can be reprocessed with new algorithms, faster processes and combined with other sources to create "better" processed images.

Onboard hardware errors (eg: the historic Hubble Telescope erros) can be "corrected" later on the ground with an elaborate backpropagated trandfer function that optimally "fixes" the error, etc.

Data errors (spikes in cell values, glitches from cosmic rays, etc) can be combed out of the raw in post .. if smart people have access to the raw.

Baking processing into on board instrument processing prior to transmission isn't a good procedure.
As any kind of key you need to be able to replace them after you lose them (think of a flood or a house fire) so either:

1. You accept a non-trivial risk to be locked out forever of what you used those keys for
2. You still have a password login to revoke/create keys
3. You invest in enough redundacy to never lose all of your keys

IMHO only 2. is viable and then keys are just a different implementation of a password manager.
I mean it's a great idea and all and probably not original, but it needs billions if not more in new spacecraft that can travel 3-4x as far as the furthest human-made object is (Voyagers) in a reasonable time, a scalable launch system that can launch the probes (1000x payload + fuel with the delta-V required to get there), probes that go to the destination, and a new almost interstellar communications network to get the data and commands there and back again.

Basically your idea would be the biggest, most expensive and longest undertaking in space exploration system, ever. I can see why investors would be a bit hesitant about that.
