First on the utilitarian front: it's obvious how most utilitarians would act if it were their mom on one side of the track, utils be damned.

I dunno if you have kids, but for me, main thing is having kids. It does a lot of things to your psyche, both suddenly and over a long period of time.

It's the first time you would truly take a bullet for someone, no questions asked. It tells you how much you know on an instinctual level. It forces you to define what behavior you will punish vs what you will reward. It expands your time horizons- suddenly I care very much how the world will be after I'm gone. It makes you read more mother goose books too. They all say the same things, even in different languages. It's actually crazy we debate morals at all.
They can IF they see a working and safe alternative.

But one trait of abusive relationships is, that the abuser destroys the self esteem of the victim, making them believe, they cannot stand on their own and that they need the abuser. And that they should rather be thankful ..

Which is why safe houses were founded.
To provide such a temporary alternative.
The Line is a 150km or so project (at the moment). You can appreciate the scale here: https://www.google.com/maps/@28.0609943,35.2178942,63268m/da...

At first, I thought it was one of these sci-fi concepts that governments talk about but never execute. But they are doing the project (although they have scaled it down considerably). Have nothing to say really.

Legacy car industry has a life cycle for a model of about 6-8 years with a "refresh" in the center, so usually you can get by with model variant code(s) and construction mm/yy to find a specific spare part. Designs are locked in-between and you can't just go and swap suppliers or whatnot, which is what almost broke the neck of the entire industry back in the heyday era of covid - there was no flexibility, even if there were alternative suppliers for missing parts. Everything is solidly locked with multi-year long contracts on both sides.

Tesla however, they change stuff alllll the damn time because they make so much of their stuff in-house, the vertical integration eliminates the need for rigid contracts. You absolutely need the VIN because for some differences even knowing the week of the production doesn't give sufficient resolution.

By the way, legacy car makers are also shifting to that model, BMW for example doesn't deliver paper-printed sheets for which fuse in the fuse box does what for a few years now, you have to use an online service. The logistics for printing the sheets for all the variants became too complex.
Cool project, and an accompanying blog that's already running for years. Please add an RSS feed to the blog, so people can get updates that way. Now I can only save it as a bookmark.

I really like the fact that Wiphone has LoRA add-ons!
Is there any evidence that this is really a problem? Zeppelins were in use for decades completely safely, as are modern airships.
I guess there are a least two classes of good photos. The examplar of the sort I see on those links is this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/ba/The_Ter... To this day it remains one of the most powerful photos I've come across. But what makes it special is the subject matter. There is nothing special about the phtograpy.

Those photos on the texasmonthly were different. The second one was a titled "A National Guardsman standing watch in Del Rio". It was literally a photo of a national guard's man doing his job. He is probably bored silly. There is nothing about the subject matter that would hold your attention. But the composition is something else. It's a piece of art.

Suspiciously, most of the 14 photos were like that. How do you find 14 topical photos of that quality to put in a story? Seems like an impossible ask, unless the photos really are art. By that I mean they were heavily modified. So, my guess is they are a chimera of camera and imagination, which does take the gloss off them a little.

Still, I haven't seen any website put that much effort in to the photos on a single page, nor have I seen it done so consistently well. Very impressive.
Could a one state solution work sometime deep into the future? Perhaps, but the only way to achieve a stable and prosperous one state solution is by first having a two state solution with decades of peace, rebuilding of trust and a return to a more secular direction from both sides.

If you'd try to force a one state solution in the near/medium term you'd just end up with another divided failed state similar to lebanon (and probably much worse), the population would just be too divided on basically every subject, with militant/religious extremists on both sides making the keg especially explosive.

So ask yourself what is better for the people, trying to achieve some ideal for the sake of that ideal or actually trying to achieve something that could work? If this were an engineering project, would you do a full refactor with an extremely high chance of failure or go through an intermediate step that would bring a lot of the benefits with a much higher chance of success?

Show HN: Hacker News Book Recommendations
After reading this Ask HN post [1] (and buying too many books), I found myself going through old posts about book recommendations. I wanted to find all books recommended in those posts and save the top ones for future book shopping sprees.
This has been done before [2, 3], but I wanted to get books that were recommended, not just mentioned.

I used the Algolia API [4] to get all Ask HN posts about books, reviewed them and filtered out ones that were too specific e.g best books to learn math. The comments were then sent to the Open AI API [5] to extract books that are recommended.

I then grouped them, but books can be mentioned with different names (Godel, Gödel, GEB?), and GPT4 wasn't doing a good job finding similar titles in a long list (25k titles). So that part had to be done mostly manually.

Finally, I added a page to browse by posts, some stats (like users who recommended the most books), and highlighted mentioned books in the comments.

I hope you find a good book! Feedback is welcome :)

C’est l’histoire d’un homme qui tombe d’un immeuble de 50 étages.

Le mec, au fur et à mesure de sa chute, il se répète sans cesse pour se rassurer:

"Jusqu’ici tout va bien."
"Jusqu’ici tout va bien."
"Jusqu’ici tout va bien..."

Mais l’important c’est pas la chute, c’est l’atterrissage.

Tx'd:

There's this story of a man falling off a 50 floor building. Along his fall the guy repeats to himself in comfort:

"So far, so good"
"So far, so good"
"So far, so good..."

What matters though is not the fall, but the landing.

For me, it's body doubling, but for you, it might be something completely different. The method that works for you depends on why and how you delay tasks (and you need to consider both separately). Once you understand your "why" and "how," you can begin searching for a solution.

Unfortunately, the "why" isn't always clear. I've been procrastinating for as long as I can remember, and as a co-founder of a body doubling platform, you'd think I'd know why I procrastinate. But I don't. I've spent a lot of time trying to figure it out, and it's still a mystery to me. I'm a hedonistic procrastinator, but I don't fully understand what's behind it.

Back to the point: if you're looking for a solution, don't blindly try every method someone suggests, as it can be a colossal waste of time. Some people spend weeks or months trying to make Pomodoro work for them, without realizing it simply won't. If you're a hedonistic procrastinator, Pomodoro probably isn’t the best fit. Similarly, people who struggle with clarity on what to do may benefit more from to-do lists than from "Just do it" approaches.

If procrastination is wreaking havoc on your life and you don’t know how to overcome it, feel free to contact me (check my bio). Disclaimer: I run a virtual body doubling platform (WorkMode.net), but I'm happy to talk and try to help, even if you don't want to try the platform.
Not a strep, but I remember getting sick with something. Go to docter, go to apothecary. All the while grumbling I had work to do and this really was messing with my schedule.

Walking home, with pills in hand, I somehow got really sick very fast. That's when I realized this might have easily killed me 70 years ago, and the antibiotics I was holding were a small miracle. All that grumbling was first world problems.
"They have scaled it down considerably" Right, so it's no longer "a 150km or so project". It's actually a 1.5km project. This doesn't need more hype.

So many people said this would be BS and they were right. The 1% remaining is a face saving gesture.
In the same vein, as a non-native speaker, I sometimes find it funny when even words that are written the same way (or are very close) are pronounced differently. E.g. read vs. read.
And then I also hear from movies that people pronounce "interesting" in different ways and begin to question how it should be done.
Of course, my native tongue has it's own quirks and peculiarities. I guess languages are the ultimate legacy projects with massive amount of contributors :).
You wrote "thinking machines"? seriously? You do know that attention is all you need, right? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_Is_All_You_Need)
Having a Generative Pretrained Transformer regurgitate pattern-matched input into mostly logical-appearing output does not make a thinking machine!
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_pre-trained_transfo...)

case in point, look at this, and think:

"""
It's true that relying solely on attention mechanisms, while groundbreaking, doesn't equate to genuine thinking. These models, impressive as they are, essentially excel at sophisticated mimicry. They learn to identify patterns in vast amounts of data and reproduce them in a way that often seems intelligent. However, they lack true understanding, consciousness, or the ability to form original thoughts and intentions.

The danger lies in anthropomorphizing these systems. We marvel at their ability to generate human-like text, translate languages, and even write different kinds of creative content, and we may be tempted to ascribe human-like qualities to them. But it's crucial to remember that beneath the surface lies a complex algorithm, not a conscious mind.

While the "Attention is All You Need" paper revolutionized the field of natural language processing, it's important to maintain a critical perspective and acknowledge the limitations of current AI technology. The quest for true artificial intelligence, a machine capable of independent thought and understanding, remains an ongoing challenge.
"""

Maybe you were able to spot a pattern, no?
From their FAQ[1]:

> WHY ARE YOU USING BUTTONS AND NOT A TOUCHSCREEN?

> Because they are simpler and (at this scale) cheaper than buying a larger touch-enabled screen. We want to make a low-cost phone that's easy for people to adapt to their needs. We think physical buttons are easier for people with limited hacking skills (or simply better things to do than configure soft buttons) to adapt to their needs.

The name WiPhone sort of hints at that though, doesn't it? Obviously the title for the HN post doesn't include that.
This is a great article where somebody systematically analyzed indie hackers interviews to figure out the best channels for user acquisition:

Legally speaking, you may be sued for damages.

Socially speaking, you’re never working in the industry again, possibly never be in full employment ever again.

Things are better now but shit like this was rampant even back in the late 2000s early 2010s.
Slack tried it but the backlash got them, this time anyway.
You still need to cover that 10-20% less.

Try doing the figures, we can't scale batteries to cover these drops.
thanks a lot! Yes, and you may also be driven by others reasons, such as open source models being more adapted to your use case etc..
You do have to wonder... When you tell companies like TSMC, Nvidia, etc. to suddenly stop selling to customers who make up billions in sales...

With that said, "TSMC" likely doesn't need to help much... China could buy the humans that have necessary knowledge.

And there are all kinds of ways to get around sanctions.
I think part of the solution is to allow users to add personal weights to different roads. Obviously the shortcoming with this is it only works if you already know the area, when one of the major features of navigation systems is navigating an area you don’t know. So it doesn’t solve the general problem, but it would lets individual users massively improve their own experience with the navigation system.
Not allowing immigration and simultaneously having a large decline in birth rates, thus a worker shortage is largely what caused Japan's economy to be in the stagnant state its been in for the past 20 years. Before that, everyone thought Japan would be the world economic powerhouse.

The US economy has boomed, largely in part due to the rise of software and technology, and most of the big firms in that space were started by young people and immigrants, things Japan is choosing to have less and less of.

Technical details are actually irrelevant, people just like to show sophistication by discussing patterns on emperor's new clothes. It was, most likely, a second ad-hoc solution after first ad-hoc solution (most likely, having something to do with md5()) stopped working well enough.

What is important in this article is what isn't written there, and has to be deduced. How exactly “terrorist content” was included. What else has been discussed behind the closed doors. Who actually decides how the thing works.
Not in our particular industry which is still somewhat meritocratic.

Even in the late 2010s, I was still hearing people saying shit like not having more than 5 entries on their employment history.

Have you considered the possibility that the good effects are for some smaller group, such as business owners and managers? If we're going to be wise and realise that all decisions have advantages and disadvantages, we should also realise these are not distributed equally.

I'm sure slavery had advantages too, for the owners.
Adults must be left to make their own choices. When the time comes, I want to go in peace, at a time of my choosing (or imposed by fate--for example, if I were to lose my agency or independence due to a medical condition or an incident), and not rot and suffer until I'm "terminal".

All through my life, I've been milked by way of taxes--and I'm OK with it. I've had a decent life; I've tried to actively minimize the damage I cause thanks to my existence. So, when the time comes (and I decide when it is), I don't want to be left begging for relief. I want to go in peace and with some dignity. I absolutely don't want to resort to violent methods or leave a mess for others to clean up.

So, my ask is that a method is made available. If I need to sign up in advance--when I'm deemed to be of sound mind and body--so be it. But I need a way. I deserve it. This is not negotiable.

You can certainly not produce inversions. The data that is left in the hash is not enough to produce anything vaguely photorealistic.

However, you can fill the gaps and generate photorealistic photos that fit to the extremely reduced information you get from the hash. You are generating believable (as defined by the training data) photos that fit the hash.

That’s a huge difference.

Statements like yours are extremely dangerous. Without proper understanding of what GenAI can and can not do, people start relying on things that are not there.

Imagine your photorealistic inversion AI putting a mole or a wrinkle in the face of somebody without any foundation in the actual hash. Just because it fits better to the trained data. Explain that to the judge, when the person with just the right facial features sits in front of them.
I suppose it will never be built, but it says the planned area is 26,500 km2 (10,200 sq mi). Have they said the expected/desired population? Riyadh is by far their biggest city with 7M people on less than 2,000 km2.

Where would these people come from? I'm sure they can bribe some people to move there, but how many?

Of course everything is nuanced - but the goal here is not to understand Penguin Random House.

It's not unpaid. Payment is pretty low though, around 300 bucks per month. Also it's 50% longer than military and you're forbidden from using or owning a gun for 15 years because pacifism is the only accepted reason to opt out of military service.
The root cause of the problem is how heavily intertwined the banking system is with bigcos in Japan. It's basically impossible for a small startup that competes with a large keiretsu to get funding, so there's no incentive for bigcos to improve their archaic labour and operational processes, which is why Japan has had the lowest labour productivity among G7 countries for the past few decades. Given how abusive work practices have stifled Japanese birth rates, the problem will eventually be solved by natural selection: either Japan will develop a culture with better work-life balance, or the population will dwindle away to nothing and it will simply cease to exist as a nation.
Can't you just avoid the suit notice, the same way they avoid the resignation notice?

I mean, I'm sure you're right. I just want to highlight that it's actually oppressive bullshit perpetrated by the rich, not "a funny quirk of a foreign culture". Of course when you try to avoid the notice, it won't work.

In BASIC, the word "RANDOMIZE" sets the seed for the RND function, and you'll find it's initially dependant on time (including the typing speed of the user):

https://github.com/Vulacode/RANDOM/blob/main/RANDOM.BAS#L295

It then is reinitialised periodically by mixing in run time (which is highly variable due to microprocessor limitations) and checksums of previous parts of the stream:

https://github.com/Vulacode/RANDOM/blob/main/RANDOM.BAS#L319

The RAND[123] appears to be Bennett Fox's Algorithm 647, which was designed for simulation purposes (statistical randomness), and is based on Lewis-Goodman-Miller's construction from 1969, so it had a great deal of scrutiny.

I think this would have been state of the art in the late 1980s.

This should be "Lithium Ion Phosphate...", right?
Most devices that are 6+ years old (as far as I can tell) use C99. If not C89. And/or C++17, if that.

That's A LOT of devices out there. A lot of which still get maintenance and even get feature updates (I'm working on one right now, C99).

So the claim that "C codebases generally use C11 or C17, and C++ code bases use C++20" intuitively sounds like totally untrue to someone working in embedded C/C++. I've been doing this for 15+ years and I've never touched anything higher than C99 or C++17.

If you're talking about gaming, sure. But that's not "C code bases generally".
Importing 400 million metric tons of steel would be a massive undertaking in its own right. Currently the largest importer of steel is the US, at less than 30 million MT.

> https://www.statista.com/statistics/650538/leading-steel-imp...

Such a massive import scheme would probably disrupt global steel markets and lead to a price surge, which is not in evidence. If anything, steel prices have decreased over 2024:

> https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/steel

So I don't know how much they're using, but I think we can safely rule out that they're really utilizing anything like 1/5 of global annual production.
That helps a lot thanks. Will summarize it quickly for those who come later: MySQL (InnoDB really) and Postgres both use MVCC, so they write a new row on update. InnoDB however also additionally writes a record marking the old row for deletion.

To do a cleanup, InnoDB uses the records it kept to delete old data, while Postgres must do a scan. So InnoDB pays a record-keeping price as part of the update that makes it easier to clear data, while Postgres decides to pay this price of occasional scanning.
Is this a problem? Every time another one comes out, more people learn about this interesting thing for the first time.

Do any of these qualify as a descriptive name?
