Under $100: Rosemary shampoo. Mostly never have to worry about lice.
Just as a quick usability feedback: As long as Deepl translates asynchronously as I type, while Kagi requires a full form send & page refresh, I am not inclined to switch (translation quality is also already too good for my language pairs to consider switching for minor improvements, but the usability/ speed is the real feature here).

This is coming from a user with existing Kagi Ultimate subscription, so I'm generally very open to adopt another tool if it fits my needs).

Slightly offtopic, slight related: As already mentioned the last time Kagi hit the HN front page when I saw it: the best improvement I could envision for kagi is improved search performance (page speed). I still encounter multiple second page loads far too frequently that I didn't notice with other search engines.

EightSleep mattress cover is a GAME-CHANGER. Precise control over preferred temp, and detailed/accurate logging of sleep metrics == way better sleep, and knowledge of its relative quality (metrics for which let me measure the impact of different variables).
I second the double edged safety razors. I had to learn not to push down so hard like I have to do with the modern ones. Those things are SHARP! You get a closer shave too. I got the soap and horsehair brush to go with it. I bought a pack of blades that have lasted years.
Note that Nexus includes Global Entry and TSA Precheck. If you live near the border, it's the cheapest way to get all of them.

Also, your Nexus card is a REAL ID, so no need to pay extra for an enhanced drivers license.
I'm pretty sure the one I got was $99 but that was a black Friday deal on amazon.
For my use case of something similar on Clickhouse:

We load data from postgres tables that are used to build Clickhouse Dictionaries (a hash table for JOIN-ish operations).

The big tables do not arrive via real-time-ish sync from postgres but are bulk-appended using a separate infrastructure.
Tozo openreal headphones. $40 I use them 8 hours a day. They let you hear everything around you while also being decent headphones. In the office where I take phone calls they are much more ergonomic than my Bose QC45s which I used to wear the same amount.

Under $1000, my bambu labs printer. I've fixed things, made things you couldn't buy, it's a staple in my house now.
So Trump says "I wish the first time it was done correctly." and that is equivalent to invading Iraq?

Again, he just says words and you equate that to actually killing x number of people.

TDS is a real thing.
I've been using DiffMerge and KDiff3 for years.

They are largely great tools, but I'm looking for something with a bit more functionality. I would like something that I could only refer to as a Staging tool so that I can really control which of my code changes are assigned to each commit.

I havne't converted to any of the tools built into the IDEs I use because I'm using quite a few, and don't want to use a different Git tool just because I'm on a different IDE.

One of the most annoying things for me about DiffMerge is how it shows a popup window on launch, and I also find it a bit too difficult to change the color palette since I can't easy choose a theme. Otherwise I find it fairly feature complete for my needs.
A golden mole in the Afrosoricida order, comprising a bunch of strange and cute insectivores from the African Continent.
It's exactly what they are talking about. Metaphorical or literal, gut feelings can become wildly miscalibrated, e.g. due to food going from scarce to common. Introspection and discipline are needed to keep it from going terribly wrong, and while diet is a good example and riffs off the metaphor it absolutely applies to other gut instincts too.
Under $100:

I bought a $2 rice cooker at a yard sale in 2020. Changed my life, yes really. Rice ALWAYS turns out well. I don't know why I bothered to make it on the stove before.
Under $100: a Knipex pliers wrench. Best hand-tool ever! I originally got just the 7.25" size, but now I own everything from even shorter ones to much longer ones. I use them all of the time. If you're cheap, you can even get a knock-off version from Harbor Freight now at about half the cost of the German-made Knipex ones.
It's not clear what point you're trying to make here. The comment compared price increases in contrast to wages. Wage growth during Biden presidency was also pretty strong on the lower end of income.

Middle class was probably hit the worst, but there's no way it's 3 times. Meanwhile American's are spending more on eating out then on groceries.

It's mostly overblown in my opinion. Voters just aren't always that rational.
I don't know how the translation quality compares, but the advantages to this would be that it's free and it can translate web pages in-place.
> you can't compare SLS to Falcon 9

I just did, so you clearly can. And it is also meaningful.

In theory, a heavier vehicle should have lower cost to orbit, not higher, all else being equal, as some costs are constant overhead. And this theory turns out to be true when you have a comparable vehicle, the Falcon Heavy:

Falcon Heavy: $ 2,100 / kg to LEO (fully expended)
SLS: $ 37,000 / kg to LEO

Payload capacity is 68t and 70t respectively in this configuration, so pretty much identical.

If you only need 50t to LEO, price for the Falcon Heavy drops to $1,800 / kg as they can then reuse various components.

So SLS is already completely outclassed as things stand right now.

Then comes Starship. A fully expendable Starship, which they have pretty much demonstrated already, would be a further incremental improvement. Slightly lower cost, double the payload of Falcon Heavy, so around $1000/kg. Add even partial reuse, and you're probably in the $800/kg range.

And then you have full reuse, which they look to be close to demonstrating, which is a complete game changer. In the $10 / kg cost range. 3700x cheaper than SLS. That's two decades of Moore's Law kind of improvement. Absolutely crazy.

Human with food, water and air for a couple of days would be what, $5000?
Seems you're wrong,

It might sound small, but pulling in more context can make a huge difference – I remember one time Cursor completely hallucinated Prisma as part of our tech stack and created a whole new schema for us, whereas Codebuff knew we were already hooked up to Drizzle and just modified our existing schema. But like James said, we do use more tokens to do this, so pros & cons.
> The top LGBT-friendly employer these days is Raytheon.

The what? Slapping a pride flag on a jet engine isn't exactly a political bias, it's a marketing / reputation-washing gimmick.

> Even pre-Trump the Dems were the party of big government, unions, urbanity, education

"Even pre-Trump"? This goes back to the 1950s.

> now they're also the party of military interventionism, the media, and really most of the establishment.

You are implying that the Republican party is not also this. That implication is utter nonsense beyond what can be excused by ignorance.

> Now you're subtly narrowing the goalposts a whole lot. Voting irregularities, no (other than that ballot box getting set on fire, but I guess you're saying that's not "consequential"), but plenty of potential crime in the overall process (lists of names being added to the rolls at the last minute, that sort of thing). The legal challenges will likely be dropped, if they haven't already, because the Republicans won the election anyway, so what relief could they possibly ask a court to grant?

Voting or voter registration -- citation needed. Voter fraud is a criminal offense, the courts can do plenty.

> Some of the alleged misdeeds of 2020 were only possible because the pandemic created an excuse - rapid expansion of postal voting in violation of the law and/or under "creative" executive orders was something that could happen in plain sight then, but would be rather harder to brush under the carpet now. But, again, a lot of the same allegations were being made in the run-up to this election - we're only not hearing so much about them because the Republicans won.

You don't think the Democrats would love to make a stink about it if there was any hint of real irregularities? Or are you claiming that the irregularities only were irregular in the Democrats' favor, and that they lost in spite of committing widescale voter registration fraud?
The gov doesn’t care about your perspective.

trade partner does not exclude adversary. Look at US-Japan trade in the 30s up until just before WW2 when the US decision to embargo exports to Japan (to try to force Japan to stop its occupation of China) led to WW2. It was a pretty quick flip from major trading partner to war.
Trump plans to dismantle Biden AI safeguards after victory
Honestly, my gut is much less welcoming to the idea of me visiting McDonalds than my mouth.

My gut says “I will feel bad”, my mouth screams “tastebuds demand an experience!”
Cargo e-bikes are tempting. I also have two kids and I've managed to work it out with just two seats on my bike (one front, one back) and now that the big one is tall enough to ride his bike I've got a "follow-me tandem" which allow me to tug him uphill, but carrying sports equipment is starting to be a hassle, so I'm seriously considering buying a cargo ebike to replace my current set-up.
Which ones did you get?
How poems die to market data points.
> (The rest have been from hard work with a dietitian who helped me solve some longstanding issues, but that was more expensive.)

Just a heads up, if you're in the USA I believe all health insurance plans must fully cover dietitian visits if you have certain conditions, obesity being one of them. Hypertension and pre-diabetes are a couple other common ones.
>ideas have to navigate through a maze of social forces, power structures, and personal agendas — forces that are still very much alive today.

You think ideas have it tough.

Counterintuitively, with proofs-of-concept, prototypes, and actual pilot runs it can be even worse :\

Galileo wasn't threatened as badly on his ideas alone.

Once he could demonstrate, new obstacles were just waiting to rear their ugly head.

>science isn’t like law or medicine

Wait a minute, law isn't based on natural laws or even fundamental logic very much of the time so the dissimilarity can be extreme.

But medicine is, and more natural is usually a good baseline.

It's just not ethical to go willy-nilly experimenting on living subjects like you can in vitro.

It's still true to a good extent that science is not like medicine, but at the same time medicine is very much like science because health care is a meta-science itself.

Medicine, like raw science, can move forward mightily by compounding principles that are truly effective, whether fully proven or not, based on natural law with little-to-no-interference from any lesser type of law.

In 2020, I bought an old broken clock on eBay for $60 on a lark. I wanted to tinker with something and see if I could figure out how it works.

Since that time, I spent literally thousands of hours immersed in horology. Everything from clock repair where I started, to learning how to use a lathe and a mill, studying the impact of clockmaking on the industrial revolution in early America and the history of maritime navigation, building an atomic NTP server from a rubidium engine bought off eBay and a raspberry Pi, becoming friends with several of the Antique Roadshow experts, volunteering to help build a pollinator meadow at a small clock museum nearby…

It’s amazing to me how much of an effect that little junky impulse buy had on how I’m living my life these days.
Under $100:

I think it’s $89/yr for Walmart grocery delivery. We were doing app orders + self-pickup, and the time savings of having them deliver for no added cost on every order over $35 has been amazing.

Under $1,000:

I bought an Olympic bar and plates from Facebook Marketplace ($250) and the Bells of Steel Light Commercial power cage ($700) from Amazon and started doing StrongLifts 5x5 consistently beginning in January of this year. It’s been nothing short of life changing. Having the safety of the cage, and the simplicity of StrongLifts really opened the door to strength and I would highly recommend it to anyone who, like me, didn’t know where or how to start.
In particular, intergenerational dance events have died from our society.

Meta Ray-ban glasses.

I find using them as headphones to be a better option then transparency mode when using my phone. The Meta AI is also pretty good at recognizing flavors of bottles and types of food in packaging.
Mh. I'm treating too many things like chess, but in chess, intuition of very competent players tends to be deep pattern recognition. This kind of positive or constructive intuition in a concrete context warrants analysis imo.

This analysis allows discovery of the patterns recognized by the competent person, which teaches. The master level player calculates a couple of moves, and then ends up worried about a tactical threat. That's a useful way to think to learn about.

I have the same thing in tech. I can usually and pretty quickly figure out in what area and component an issue would be in. Our new colleagues have developed a habit of asking Why. And this has led to great knowledge sharing sessions and has in fact taught me a few things as well.

Though at the same time, among the technical leaders of the company, we've started to accept negative intuition without much explanation as well. If two or three people with decades of experience don't feel good about a decision, that's a bad thing. Even if they cannot voice that in a concrete way so far. Hiring is similar - an actual, but not necessarily concrete or constructive Nay out of 3 is a Nay overall.
I recently noticed that Google Translate and Bing have trouble translating the German word "Orgel" ("organ", as in "church organ", not as in "internal organs") to various languages such as Vietnamese or Hebrew. In several attempts, they would translate the word to an equivalent of "internal organs" even though the German word is, unlike the English "organ", unambiguous.

Kagi Translate seems to do a better job here. It correctly translates "Orgel" to "đàn organ" (Vietnamese) and "עוגב" (Hebrew).

Steamdeck I love it, as someone who is trying to cope with not having as much time to game it is the best. It is also Linux with a modular body, so I get to tinker with it like no other. Added clicky Dpad and replaced the shell
This is actually fairly terrifying, I have used google voice for around 15 years myself (since acquisition), and use it as my main inbound line for multiple numbers actually. After verizon screwed me too circa 2009, I treat cell phones like burners, and really only use GVoice as my main inbound. It is all my mfa, sms, professional identity number, etc, and has always been solid as such as I use it with a paid gsuite I run my life out of too.

If they terminated my voice, I would be very much up a creek, and something I've considered as google tends to graveyard services enough and I can't imagine it is still high on anyone's give a shit list there.

I'd be curious if anyone else uses a like methodology with another service out there today. I've looked for alternatives over the years, and find really none for my needs for everything Google Voice provides and the android integration I use.
About $100: dynamo-powered light setup for my bicycle. Never forget lights, and they’re always bright.
Under $1000:
A road bike. I live in LA (county) and the default is to drive everywhere, but here's the thing: driving sucks. We famously don't have great bike infra, but I thought, would I go more places if I didn't hate getting around? For trips up to a couple miles, biking is faster than driving, and I never have to worry about parking.

Ergo stuff. A kinesis keyboard, a logitech ergo mouse, a standing desk and mat. Between these, I've probably headed off carpal tunnel and back problems by years.
Is "The Art of Prolog" a good place to start with the lanugage?
Also Gyugyu might be a reference to the Hungarian movie: "The Fifth Seal"

"Just imagine you are about to die, but you will be reincarnated in to one of two people; a slave or the rich master. The slave suffers under the master. He has his tongue and an eye removed and his wife and child are killed. He goes on living knowing he is a good person, as he never committed such appalling, sadistic acts on another like his master has done. The rich master has no moral qualms about it at all. He doesn't think what he did was wrong; the slave needed to be punished. You have the choice, whether to be a poor and righteous slave or be a rich and corrupt master."

Gyugyu is the name of the slave.

Seconding the vertical monitor from a thrift shop, I did the same thing basically by getting a Fujitsu monitor that can easily rotate and I'm incredibly pleased.

I use it with multiple Emacs frames because PaperWM (Gnome extension) makes it easy to scroll between windows (in this case Emacs frames).
Advice:

1. You built something but it’s not an MVP. It's an early prototype. There will be more before you get to an MVP.

2. You need to research your target social media application fully to understand the requirements for your product. Talk to them. Research them online. Read about developing with their platform. Understand the limitations and permissions for doing what you intend to do.

3. Talk to users of the target social media platform. How do they do business? How might you provide value to them?

4. Compare your concept to other payment platforms: PayPal, credit cards, Apple Pay, Square, etc. How is your product different? How is it more valuable to the customer?

5. When you have answers to all of these questions and you have analyzed all of the research data, THEN you will have enough information to decide if you go to the next step which is building a set of requirements that will then drive the development of a MVP.

Good luck and be well.

We actually don't use RAG! It's not that good as you say.

We build a description of the codebase including the file tree and parsed function names and class names, and then just ask Haiku which files are relevant!

This works much better and doesn't require slowly creating an index. You can just run Codebuff in any directory and it works.
Depends, as soon as you get into the exurbs where plots of land range from 1 to 5 acres, you can start growing a significant % of your caloric needs on your land.

Not with lettuce or fruits, of course, but with potatoes/beans and gourds likely.
My frustration with "too complex" is high. Criticism in general often devolves to very broad heresay & un-backed opinions, but man, too complex is just one of the weakest by far at this.

Few people have spent the time to get to know a protocol or system well enough to know what really was unnecessary or bad. The ability to crash out & then talk smack is high. Most haters haven't even earned that right!

XMPP is pretty simple to get started with. Theres not that many extensions you "really should have". The extension model let them grow & adapt well over time, giving more weight to the underlying eXtensibility model. I tend to agree it was mainly a push for privatization & lack of interest in economic mutualism that lead to drift away from XMPP.
And when you have a house cleaner you always have a third party that's responsible for every issue: “that's the house cleaner's fault” (my in-laws have one and I'm pretty sure she's not responsible for a quarter of what gets attributed to her, otherwise she'd have gotten fired long ago)
No, I was being facetious hoping people wouldn't look at the username :P
There are several "CAD lite" systems available if you don't actually need dimensional accuracy though. There's a model boom in DnD circles around sharing 3D models, slicing them up, gluing them together, and making your own designs by basically digital kitbashing.

My friend is filling up hard drives with 3D models DMs share.
> Contrary to common wisdom, which suggests using analysis to verify gut feelings, intuition often works better as a final check on analytical decisions.

This doesn't mean not to analyze your gut feelings. I don't see where the author makes this case at all. You can do both. You can pay attention to your gut feeling as a final check on analytic decisions and you can try to understand where that gut feeling is coming from (and in fact I believe you should).

If you write the input in Pig Latin, Kagi detects it as English but translates it correctly.

Bing detects it as English but leave it unchanged.

Google detects it as Telegu and gives a garbage translation.

Have you used VLC on MacOS tho? Full screen video looks very slick and is tough to differentiate from native quicktime other than having support for more codecs and features.

The non full screen UI is a little more crusty but still looks better than the windows version imo.
>Some of us want to own some land and not be butted up right against their neighbor. Or have to hear the person next door fucking their spouse or blasting loud music. No thanks.

You could just not butt up to the very edge of your own lot, and everyone else can use their own as they wish. Another option would be to buy the lots around you and not build anything on them.

The thing with NIMBYs is that they want everyone else to pay for their desires.
Interesting, I'm actually annoyed that DeepL sends every keystroke and I'm using idk how many resources on their end when I'm just interested in the result at the end and for DeepL to receive the final version I want to share with them

That it's fast, you don't have to wait much between finishing typing and the result being ready, that's great and probably better than any form system is likely to be. But if it could be a simple enter press and then async loading the result, that sounds great to me
Once you master a few languages, learning the rest gets much easier - or so I've been told. ;)
