>and exactly where should these refugees have gone to instead?

I don't know and I don't care since it's not a problem I created and I don't want my taxe Euros to be used on global charity, I want them used on the local citizens first and foremost. Why didn't the wealthy neighboring countries that are similar in culture like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, etc. take them in? Why must it be always the liberal European countries far away in charge of charity?

Imagine the local native American/Australian people seeing the British/European colonizers arrive on boats on their land and welcome them saying "where should these people go to instead?" instead of fighting them to kick them out. Or the Why would you ever welcome invaders? Hasn't history shown what happens over and over again? The culture with the most valance dominates the others. Why do you think random parts in the middle of Africa speak French?

> but denying refugees a save harbor is not going to improve your life one bit. those two issues are completely unrelated to each other.

How so? Less people coming to compete for access to limited healthcare and housing will definitely improve the life of the locals. It's just the basic economics of supply/demand. Do you think arithmetic is wrong? Denying this would be some advanced form of cope/delusion.

If those refugees would be such valuable human resources like skilled doctors and teachers with a great culture of assimilation, then all their wealthy neighboring countries I mentioned above would be fighting over them to bring them over instead of rejecting them. You don't want to import the dross that nobody else wants, so then why is Europe doing it?

> people who favor their own over refugees tend to also favor them over their neighbors, and when that happens we have a problem.

Maybe this kind of gaslighting and guilt tripping works on some people with luxury beliefs, not on me though. I like to be realistic on the economic realities and scarcity of resources. Noting personal against anyone or any group of people.

>let not a man glory in that he loves his country; let him rather glory in this, that he loves the world.

Luxury beliefs and virtue signaling. Feel free to engage in them as much as you like, but on your own dime.
My Whirlpool stove does the opposite thing: after I've finished cooking and it's cooling down, it will activate the Warm oven setting on its own. I find that the Warm touch button is especially sensitive on its own, so there must be some small flexing happening somewhere and activating it.

Solution: Immediately after cooking I walk over to the junction box and turn off the breaker to the stovetop.

> At first blush, the fact that these investors still own such a small fraction of the overall stock of single-family homes would suggest their impact is still pretty minor.

This doesn't matter all that much because houses that people bought and are living in are inert, off the market. They might as well not exist (and people who own them).

What matters is how many houses investors are buying right now and it's significant part of all purchases.

Interesting. I read somewhere a long time ago a description of dreams being incoherent because 'the brain doesn't have enough compute power to simulate reality well enough'. This seems to me like the exact experience you're sharing. Reality is generated, but no 'memory' to keep it consistent/coherent.
So, are dreams really just GenBrain (and the things you think about before falling asleep the generating prompt)?

The occasional error when updating from AUR because of Manjaro's arbitrarily updated system stack is absolutely a problem, as evidenced by the occasional error.

EndevourOS is not the same as Manjaro, it uses Arch's binary repositories directly. The answer to "how to fix libxyz on endeavour" is exactly the same as "how to fix libxyz on arch' which means that the Arch wiki, one of the best Linux rescources in general, directly applies. I straight up think Manjaro is a waste of time for everyone, it doesn't really do anything better and they've handled so many things so much worse.

>small pockets of Amiga users that could store 1.76mb

realy reaaally tiny fraction of Amigas userbase had access to HD floppy drive only ever shipping in ONE top of the line most expensive model 4000. It was a custom modified Chinon FZ357A spinning at half rpm, needed because Amiga could only handle 250Kbit/s data rate while standard HD floppy drive uses 500Kbit/s. Commodore being hugely mismanaged didnt invest anything in engineering, they lacked will and resources to update technology in its subsequent models. 1994 A4000T, the very last Amiga ever manufactured shipped with the very same Chip responsible for sound and Double Density floppy interfacing as the very first model 1000 from 1985.

> drive was more flexible

Stock Amiga FDD was standard and could be replaced with PC after little pinout modification. Controller on the other hand could be called software defined as it lacked any smarts. It could only decode/encode raw datastream to/from ram buffer whole track at a time. In contrast PC controllers target specific sectors.

We 4X CV Performance with GenAI and Synthetic Data – Case Study Inside
Hey everyone! I’m the co-founder and CTO of DiffuseDrive, a San Francisco-based startup focused on bridging critical data gaps for computer vision projects. We are developing the automated visual data service that helps CV teams search, identify, and fill in those hard-to-collect data points with high-quality synthetic data.

Recently, we published a Medium article detailing a case study where we achieved up to a 4X performance boost using genAI-driven synthetic data. The study tackles common CV challenges like unbalanced datasets and underrepresented classes, and we share how we optimized a model in a real-world, complex environment.

If you’re interested in practical ways to enhance CV model accuracy with synthetic data, check out the article! We’re excited to hear your thoughts and insights.

There is a major difference between trusting regular infrastructure and trusting elections infrastructure. The threat model is completely different. For one, vote secrecy makes it impossible to prove that your vote was mis-registered. For another, in normal situations the cyber-adversaries I need to worry about are regular criminals, for which basic computer security practices are good enough. But votes in an election are improtant enough that nation-state actors are a real threat, and I am absolutely certain that my phone or laptop are not secure against hacking attempts by a nation, or even potentially my own government!

Not to mention, elections are the only situation where trust in my government is not fully possible: the current government has too much incentive to steal votes secretly. So, unlike the electrical grid, roads, financial infra and so on, I can't rely on implicit trust in the government to trust elections.

> If someone was able to record a signature that their voting gateway signed vote for X as vote for X, but then later that same service claimed they voted for Y, they are caught red-handed cryptographically signing with the private key two conflicting votes.

If. What if instead my voting app is showing me that my vote was correctly registered, and that key verification succeeded while the polls are still open, but once the polls close, it shows me that in reality the server registered the opposite vote? How do I prove to anyone else that I voted for X and the app was showing me I voted for X, but now the system shows I voted for Y, and that is what is recorded in the official counted results?

This doesn't even require anyone breaking the encryption: the app can just show me a lie, or some malware can intercept the display info and show a different result, etc. To not leave any trace, the malware even deletes itself from the system as soon as the election timeout expires. Or maybe I am just lying and nothing wrong happened: I voted for Y, the system recorded I voted for Y, and now I'm just trying to cast doubt. Same as a paper based election, anyone can claim anything, and it's exactly as impossible to prove one way or the other.

Plus, again, only a very very very small group of people can actually confirm for themselves that all of these complicated crypto algorithms actually do what they promise to do. Especially when looking at the end to end system. I for one am certain I couldn't verify for myself that all steps of such a system is secure. I would bet you can't either. If, say, Ron Rivest (of RSA fame) came out and said the cryptography used in the election is broken, while Adi Shamir (same) said it isn't, I would have no way to be certain which is right, and even if I tried to verify the math myself, I wouldn't trust myself as much as either of them.

Excellent, thank you for the link! Another commenter and I above have at greater length come to similar conclusions as in this Wikipedia subsection. I'll be more careful throwing this quote from Norvig around in future, the matter does seem uncertain.

In the short video from Scott dicussing it (https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=juXwu0Nqc3I) he says clearly that Church never discussed the lambda calculus while he was at Princeton, and that he thought Church was bitterly disappointed that his system was proven to be in some way inconsistent.

I wonder if Church named it after the Russell and Whitehead notation, and later wanted to distance himself from the whole thing so dismissed the notion. I had a quick look for the "unpublished letter to Harald Dickson" mentioned in the wikipedia there and can't find anything. Hmm.

For "just right", the domain also has to look more "just right" than the many unregistered names that are very close. And an aggressive filter trying to block on that basis should be doing it preemptively and not very much based on domain history.

A domain that used to be tied to the company has different considerations, but ideally it would also be blocked based on ownership changes and not wait for content.
The nice thing about building a design tool is correct output is defined as “did it render.” We do things like strip out hallucinated imports and parse the ast for errors to help with that.

“Did it output what I desired?” - we have the classic AI app stuff like thumbs up/down, and many features we’ve built are an attempt to make that answer be a solid yes. For example, we have a “referencing” feature (if you are within a “project” - our version of an infinite canvas) that lets you reference existing designs when doing a prompt for a brand new design. This helps the LLM keep the output consistent.

Regarding performance: you can download the raw HTML so I suppose that is more performant than a version that loads all the JS, hah. But our product focus is more on the design rather than the generated code, as we’ve seen with our customers that engineers will almost always touch it up.

To answer your last question: when users are “finished” and it’s deployed (and they share it with me), people don’t really mimic portions of websites. By they time they're done, it’s fully their own, they’ve iterated on it so much. What the imported from the extension ended up being just a base to get the LLM in the right initial context.
This rule is part of the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic, so it applies to many countries indeed (including Brazil, which is a signatory).
OVH and Hetzner offer cheap unmetered VPS instances, Cloudflare CDN doesn't have any bandwidth restrictions... Yes 10GB of data is cheap. If they were serving off EC2, then after the first 100 GB of the month it's 9 cents/GB or 90 cents per 10GB, which is absurd, but still not terribly expensive in the grand scheme of things: what would be a surprise lesson-teaching bill, $90 after a TB / 10,000 visitors?

I'm surprised some users think it's a lot on an individual scale. Consider an ideal persona for this submission: query some movies, then go stream several GBs for one. The 100 MB payload isn't much in comparison. I admit it is kind of bad form for mobile users who might be on metered data plans, and a warning and trigger for manual action for those devices would be kinder.

One thing that might help reset your notion of what a lot of bandwidth is would be to browse around with your network tab in the developer console open for a day. nytimes home page is 14 MB and they get a ton of traffic. Even a corporate blog on the HN front page right now that could just be the tiny compressed text is 2 MB. Single image loads on many pages can be 1 MB or more. Glancing at the submission, the response headers indicate it seems they're serving from S3 Cloudfront, which is free for the first TB per month, though after that it gets back to absurd pricing. AWS is not price competitive.
Yes. My knowledge of neuroscience is derived mainly from articles like this and popular science books where many things are left vague.

If someone has a hippocampus or amygdala damaged or removed it's rarely specified whether its the left one, the right one, or both. Presumably it matters!

Both the above structures seem mysterious but I understand they both evolved from older cortex which sort of curled up over evolutionary time. 3-layer cortex rather than the 6-layer of the neocortex. I'd be glad to be corrected here.

The amygdala is associated with fear but it's concerned with desire too. Unwanted desires can be just as inconvenient as unwanted fears.

A classic source of confusion for me is the ubiquitous phrase 'brain circuits'. Is this a metaphor drawn from electronics, or what? 'Circuit' implies a loop but I assume they're just pathways.
Its absolutely ridiculous that the pokey things and strips require a prescription. What is the rationale?

Some months ago I wanted to format/print some documents, and given the existing tooling I had I decided to try the html->pdf route. I fully agree is a shitshow. The way things break across pages is hard to fix even when hand-tuning the html itself (not just by working it around with css) to avoid content being cut across margins and pages no matter what. I've found chrome to be "less bad", but still unusable. Column handling is even a bigger joke.

In the end I exported the document to libreoffice, and got something way more usable in a few hours just by editing the styles than whatever I was able to do in days of fiddling with html+browser.

iBooks on apple might get a pass as it doesn't need to paginate, but truth be told it seems that epub/ebooks and ereaders in general are being targeted at novels and romance, where form factor, typesetting and formatting doesn't matter that much.

I have access to ebooks through my local library and there's no way I would use, let alone buy, any technical ebook.

Not to mention, I've seen a steady average decline in the quality of printed media in general over the last ~15 years. A lot less attention is put in the typesetting and layout. Even the print quality itself is lower, which I think is due to the smaller and cheaper print runs being done now also for more popular titles.
Exactly! EPUBs are great for novels or anything you just want to read line-by-line

Show HN: rallyup – Lightweight Wake-on-LAN Scheduler
Hi HN,

I’ve wanted a simple solution to handle Wake-on-LAN sequences for my home and work labs to boot up servers in the right order. I was already dabbling in Rust and thought this would be an interesting project to dive deeper and see if it could work well for this kind of network tool. The result is rallyup.

rallyup lets you set up server dependencies in a YAML file, so each service (e.g., firewalls, storage, VM hosts) comes online in the right order. It verifies each server’s status before moving to the next.

Features:

- Dependency-based WOL with VLAN support
- Built-in health checks (HTTP, open ports, shell commands)
- Lightweight enough to run on a Raspberry Pi or similar device

Would love any feedback. Thanks for taking a look!

My biggest challenge with writing blogs/newsletters is the fear of publishing, not getting it "perfect", or being horribly wrong about whatever I'm writing about.

To get over this I just made simple personal blog/site using GH pages/jekyll/markup that doesn't have 1. A marketing version of a "publish" function and 2. the posts are perpetually in DRAFT.

Basically there is no 'done' which leaves me more comfortable in putting my thoughts on the internet instead of leaving them in my head. I can keep going back to the ideas and refining them.
