My objection is it's too granular and bad faith operators will only pivot slightly to continue to exploit. It seems ineffective.
The guy in the vid says he hates walking, so not the target audience:D
>For example city centers are usually the most polluted, but can have some of the most expensive square meters to live in. Although it is true that maybe most people are not aware of that.

Or it's a known tradeoff. If you live in the city center you save a lot of time on commuting if your office is there, too. You save a lot of time going out because you can walk over to the next restaurant in 5-10 minutes.

That's measurable time savings in the 1-2h per day range depending on what you compare it to.

If it doesn't decrease your lifetime by a similar amount it may be a worthy tradeoff.
Private jets while they can be used for fun are also an extremely fast way to get from point a to point b without many transfers or lines. If you have a bunch of people, resources, or facilities that are hard to get to you are saving hours of time of your day and especially if you could do the meeting in the Air so yes there is a business cost and justification.

Private planes do sit unused but, if you use them frequently enough it starts to make sense to use especially since you can reliably get features that a charter plane doesn't like a tv, many people on the plane, places to sleep.
Nice. I suspect that many folks already have solutions for larger storage but this seems like a fairly clean way to get fast-enough storage in a decent amount of physical space.
He retired recently from Amazon and due to that it could have been another reason why he downsized.
Next question / consideration in your situation of course is whether it's ataraxia, indifference, stoicism, emotional numbing, or disassociation. I think they're probably all related concepts.

You can't expel people without proper identity. If you kick out a scammer they can keep coming back with different names/identities.
I actually made the unusual decision, last year, to go IPv6-only on a small website I operate. The reason why is that AWS changed their billing policy for public IPv4 addresses. This is a tiny website that people only access on their cell phones, so I can accept an occasional inconvenience for the marginal cost savings.

I haven't heard of anyone else doing this, but I doubt I'm completely alone in trying to minimize hosting costs.
I’m curious what your home network involves that’s more complicated than simply plugging everything in to one cheap router.

I can’t repeat it enough: get a refurbished thin client instead of a SBC when you don’t care about GPIO and physical size isn’t a strict limit. The power draw isn’t as bad as you would think, x86 means you can install whatever you want, and you can just attach whatever storage you want over SATA without having to get more expensive hardware. It also includes a Case and PSU, often for a fraction of the price you would have to pay for a RasPi, especially when having to buy the RasPi, a Case, a PSU and a storage hat.
loved the landing page tbh, the fluidity and multi modal aspect
Their argument:

But many analyses actually find that the emissions reductions from switching to electric vehicles are quite minor.
Paul Hawken, for example, doesn’t put electric cars in his top 10 climate solutions. In fact, it’s number 24 on his list, with almost ten times less impact than reducing food waste, nearly six times less impact than eliminating the use of refrigerants which are powerful greenhouse gases, and behind solutions like tropical rainforest restoration (about 5 times as effective at reducing emissions as is switching to EVs) and peatland protection (more than twice as effective).
Producing a single electric car releases a lot of greenhouse gas emissions—about 9 tons on average. This is rising, as the size of electric cars is going up substantially. That means that even if operating electric cars reduces emissions overall, it’s not going to reduce them much. One calculation estimates reductions of 6 percent in the United States. That’s not enough to make much of a dent in warming.
>> All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind

> Doesn’t it come from the mind’s interaction with the world?

There is no difference between these concepts, is there? In both cases knowledge comes from the mind.

Also, you can come up with ideas without interacting with the outside world, can you not? This feels like nitpicking.
Does this mean that the top left corner had a higher probability of being a mine? Or even a lower probability, seeing as the dev would have had to ensure that it's not a mine before the user clicks.

Now that I think about it, the dev strategy of leaving the spot without a mine but moving one there, probably does not affect the probability that there will be a mine there during gameplay.
Do you have an examples of good ones?
I think it's more likely that everyone will forget in a few days and we will never know. Maybe there will be few more random bans.

I highly doubt anyone banned will even try to send "sufficient documentation". The wording is as vague and arbitrary as it gets, and the underlying tone sounds to me not like "we have such and such requirements", but like "some Russian-sounding names are banned, but we still have to demonstrate there is a due process".

Reminds me of banks. Banks are fined for not having processes for detecting money laundering. Not money laundering, mind it, just having "inadequate" processes. If such a process flags someone, that someone is blocked and they should provide "sufficient documents", but the bank is not allowed to tell them why or what, that would be "tipping off", which is illegal. And then it all comes down to bank's internal policies (that the bank is not allowed to disclose) or even a personal relationship with a branch manager.
Ask HN: Is it wrong to use my personal laptop for work?
At the company I just started working at, the computer has a company profile as well as Sophos antivirus, which, from what I can see, filters all traffic. However, I have another MacBook, and there are no requirements to use a VPN. We use GitHub, which means I can work on my personal MacBook.

In my contract, I’m not obligated to use the company laptop, and I believe these software tools are just to comply with some ISO standards.

From what I’ve noticed, the IT team monitors app usage, so I could leave the IDE open all the time.

So my question is: would it be wrong to use my personal computer for development?
IF you need IPv4 for some users like me where ISPs is IPv4 only then you can use a CloudFlare or CloudFront and expose IPv4 too.
In this post, you are told about Islamic talismans to break the barriers of marriage.
This Islamic talisman is written from specific verses of the Quran, which is also called divine amulet, marriage talisman, and Sulemanic Talisman.
So if you want to remove the obstacles of marriage in 14 days then it is possible only through marriage talisman,
Marriage Talisman has been used since ancient times to remove obstacles to marriage and even today marriage talisman is considered to be the most powerful spiritual practice to remove obstacles to marriage.
I don't understand the title. What's the "but" there? IPv6 being irrelevant and moving off IPv4 being irrelevant seem like they go hand in hand, if moving off IPv4 is irrelevant then of course IPv6 is irrelevant!
Nice. The two other relatively common issues I see from time to time with indie hackers are a lack of strong MFA authentication for janky PaaS where it’s not compulsory (leading to destruction of quite a bit of hard work) and never testing restores (ditto but for client data). HTH.
> It’s not the 80s anymore where we’re logging on to a shared mainframe.

Modern high performance clusters still follow that logic, and are found in almost all large universities or companies doing research on heavy computational topics (artificial intelligence, comp. chemistry, comp. biology, comp. engineering, and so on)
The US imposes controls on trade made in dollars even when said trades as absolutely nothing to do with the US. Why? Because the US thinks they can.

There's like... two of us. For the life of me I am unable to understand[1] why all musical playback devices must have their volume turned up well past the point of distortion. I really don't want to hear some poor over-stressed subwoofer making chuff-chuff noises as it struggles to play back what must be a square wave because of clipping.

[1] Sigh, actually, I am able to understand but it's just sad instead of funny: the experienced professional musicians have all partially lost their hearing from years of too-loud music. They don't trust the juniors to set up the equipment, so they tune it to their deafness level. This then damages the hearing of the juniors, so by the time they get to be senior enough to be trusted with the volume knob, they're half-deaf themselves.
> how were they able to tap in to this hidden reservoir of knowledge.

My guess would be by filling the reservoir first. After filling it, then you can stir it and extract new knowledge. In other words: you get better at math by studying, reading, and thinking a lot about math. I don't think there has been a brilliant mathematician who has not immersed himself in math at first.
I hate shopping, because it’s start and stop all the time. I get tired after only 30m.

Then, I’ll walk home from the office (1h) and will have lots of energy to actually DO something.

The title resonated with me very strongly.
The article doesn't mention but it seems pretty relevant, Google kicked them from having the Play store etc on their phones a little while back as a result of political pressure so there's really no reason for them to care about Android any more.

Yes, you can remove cars from the streets. My point is, you cannot use that space to increase urban density, because that space aren't parking lots. You can plant more trees, add bike lanes or convert the entire street to a pedestrian zone with a playground. But you cannot build there.
His behavior, especially recent ones, has soured my view of all of his endeavors. I'm saddened by that fact.
Oh, that's good to hear. The performance discourse around uv seems to revolve around "written in Rust! Statically compiled!" all the time, but an algorithmic change like that is something that could conceivably make its way back into Pip. (Or perhaps into future competing tools still written in Python. I happen to have a design of my own.)
On top of separating google login, keeping Facebook completely separated from rest etc... Firefox profiles let me have a bunch of extensions for development (eg: React dev tool) that tend to eat memory and slow down every day browsing.

V is half-baked in many ways and shouldn't be considered for anything serious.

Odin[1] is a better alternative in the niche modern language space, and also shares many design choices with Go. It has operators like `or_return` and union types like `Maybe(T)`, which can in practice be used for improved error handling.

Though I honestly don't find Go lacking in this sense. The syntax is a bit verbose, but it forces you to think about how to handle every error, which is a good thing. There are far more important design topics worth discussing than this. Go usually makes more correct trade-offs where they matter compared to other languages, and most of the criticism it receives is unwarranted IMO.

writing code for the bbc microbot has always been a fun challenge - you have to fit your code inside a toot (formerly a tweet) tho it does have some tricks to help you compress the tokens a bit. Sometimes you'd just use the basic geometrical figures available in bbc basic to put together a picture, like the man in this version of the Vertigo poster: https://bbcmic.ro/?t=7uzei or everything but the letters in this Two Tone label: https://bbcmic.ro/?t=6UNhz

... but even when that gets to need a bit of trickery to fit in enough geometry, like this one, "This is Fine" https://bbcmic.ro/?t=6XGKK it's not that interesting to just have a table of shapes. What I like to do is try to fit 2 or more less obvious ideas into the code as well as the drawing, so with the "This is Fine" piece it's the little bit of maths that makes the piecewise circular curves smooth, in the Vertigo poster it's producing the curve in the same way Saul Bass did (with a pendulum), or the multiple letter sizes and xor plotting in the Two Tone label.

The Dragon in the first link tho seems improbaly complex because there's not a lot of code and none of it is table-driven. The core idea is that repetition makes a good subject for compact code to generate art; the dragon may look complex but the scales repeat so the body is just many identical segments and both the head and body have axial symmetry. The snakelike body needed to be curvy, but if it curves too sharply the segments would be split on one side and crushed on the other. I'd done some code previously working on Dubins Paths (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubins_path) and realised that'd be a good fit - just use a single curvature and flip between curving left and right. I found a good set of random numbers to generate a body with that just by experimentation. The scales I knew the effect I was going for and tried both sine waves and circles in various combinations till I found one that looked scaly; then I just needed to repeat it.

The head proved difficult; I'd tried other things like the fractal I used for the wave in this Hokusai recreation https://bbcmic.ro/?t=aAh0m the "Christmas Tree" fractal used to make this Rudolf https://bbcmic.ro/?t=6TR6f and other things, but none were really working or took too much code. What I landed on was just using sin/cos to vary the radius around a circle, which made a spiky head shape, then wobblying the angle plotted at to make it less uniform. The nose and eyes were just selectively not plotting some pixels, and that accidentally created the glowing rays from the eyes and the wrinkles; serendipity is great.
Yep that. Just a get a full whack Lenovo mini PC.

If you need GPIO, unless it's high bandwidth stuff, a MCP2221A break out and I2C ADC/expander is probably better anyway. You can stack as many MCP23017 as you need on one of them.

This whole stupid dog enclyopedia was an escalating series of generative AI scaling experiments and pointlessnesses:

https://www.thewoofbook.co.uk/

The quirkiest / most impractical aspect was responsive, same-width, stylised dog names.

Some dogs have short names (Pug), some long single-words (Dalmatian), some simply spitefully awkward (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel).

I wanted them all--and any future additions--to look similar, silly, and good.

https://www.thewoofbook.co.uk/testing/pageTitles

The final solution calculated relative weights for each letter then boshed the combined word weight in to a CSS variable. Some weights got (a variety of) word-break approaches and most names had primary and secondary styles with different weights. Took me weeks to work out the approach.

Pure stubborn idiocy; I’m deeply proud.
Hard to see them turning this around, it’s a good 10 year program (optimistically) to develop a new aerospace platform like a 737 replacement. I don’t really see it happening.

Does Embraer have a program in the works? I like what they build.
The issue is that the US has used sanctions dishonestly in the past as a way to remove competitors from markets it's planning to let its own companies take over at a later point. Fully trusting the US is foolish. It's a fickle ally.
> It's just unfortunate golang interfaces dont support fields. Only methods.

Why is that unfortunate? Usually when defining interfaces you care about the API surface without wanting to care about the internals of what will eventually implement that API. If you suddenly also spec fields with the interface, wouldn't be too easy to couple the internals to the API?

I can't say I've programmed in Go too much, so maybe I'm missing something very obvious.

Item 5 seems weird to me…

1/ it pulls data from Uber eats. Many restaurants added “vanity” service charges to bills to provide visibility to the law changes. Instead of increasing menu prices, they add a mandatory service charge. I don’t know if this is accounted for in Uber eats takeout/delivery pricing

2/ most of the restaurants are fast food chains (think McDonalds). Full service business is included, but the sample size is much smaller. Even if it’s full service, the user isn’t “serviced” as these are delivery/takeout prices.

3/ the analysis is only national chain restaurants.
> There is a reason why formally socialist China and India are trying to develop private sector players in these fields - a private corporation has the ability to be much more nimble around hiring and capital allocation unlike an SOE.

Are they? After Chinese private tech companies got too big, they reigned them in and made them closer to the state than ever. I'd love to see actual proof that China is really lessening it's involvement in companies, because I haven't seen such a trend in a significant manner.

> Also, your argument does not challenge my point how Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea leverage massive conglomerates instead of SOEs or small businesses to cement their lead in the Semiconductor Industry.

I happen to be based in Korea and be familiar with the insides of the conglomerates.

None of the conglomerate subsidiaries have a monopoly in any sector or country like, for example, Google does in ads and search, or Intel did in CPUs for a decade or so, with >80% market shares.

Hyundai Auto is kind of getting there domestically, but that's it, and it's the exception plus the domestic market is only a small part of their revenue.

Similarly, the overwhelming majority of the subsidiaries are not "too big to fail". During the IMF crisis in the late 90s and in its aftermath, several conglomerates failed. As a result, to this day, the financials of the subsidiaries are not particularly intertwined with each other. Sure, they sometimes give each other contracts (why wouldn't you), but that's always just a small part. They're run very independently. And it still happens that they "fail", or at least do poorly enough that the conglomerate wants to get rid of them, in which case there's usually a buyer looking to snap it up and turn things around.
How does requesting a public IP address at a hotel even work? I’m sure if I called the front desk at any hotel and I asked about IP addresses they’d have no idea what I was talking about. Do big fancy hotels have a dedicated IT help desk line?

The resistance to switch to ipv6, or the comfort with the ipv4-born address exhaustion remedies, only helps an internet of consumers, not an internet of peers that create and share. If you are behind NAT or CG-NAT, you can only consume, not create. You can't host a server, expose a port. You are at the mercy of the big fish.
OK, the bits [sorry] that I read don't seem to go any deeper than the "could it be" above.

My recollection of the basic problem in reconciling QM with GR is that of simultaneity: how do you manage to have an "open" future when various potential observers' future-fronts are all angled to each other?

I'd guess that the hyperbolic nature of light cones mean [hands waving madly enough to fly me to Africa] that there's enough wiggle room such that any conflict-resolving process occurring at space-like separations has finished by the time the events are in a past time-like cone; we don't even necessarily need a timelike source of random bits, as they are always naturally impinging from the rest of the universe.

What am I getting wrong with that model?

Isn't that how most compliance regulation works? You can't force companies to have a perfect record of preventing something, no matter how you structure things, so instead of trying to do so, you setup something that will at least preventing it somewhat. And then you fine the companies who don't do anything to prevent the issue.
I’m currently using a Futro S720 at home. It’s probably much slower than the latest RasPis, but I only paid 20€ (I actually bought multiple and got one for less than 10€!) for it. A RasPi starts 65€, with accessories you’re probably looking at 90€ or so. The S720 is fine for my use case, but you can also look at the S920, which should have better performance and can still be bought below 25€. If you add the smallest reasonable SSD (128 GB probably), you’re still at only 40€ total.

All the prices are local to me of course, the availability might be different for you.
