I get tremendous value. But only when using API:s that have ’always’ been more or less stable.

I agree, systems with rapidly evolving featureset are painful.

Successes: Git, any bash script, misc linear algebra recipes. Random debug tools in javascript (js and plain old html is stable enough). C++. C#. Sometimes Python.

Biggest value currently, I guess, is the data debug tool I wrote myself for specifically for an ongoing project.

Now, the ’value’ to me here means I don’t have to toil in some tedious, trivial task which is burdensome mainly because everybody uses different names for similar concepts, and modern computing systems are a mishmash of dozen things that work slightly differently.

So, to me ChatGPT is the idiot savant assistant I can use for a bunch of tedious and boring things that are still valuable doing.

I get paid for some niche very specific C++ stuff I’m fairly good at and like doing. But it’s the 85% of the rest of the things (like git or CMake or bash) I can’t stand.
> You can show up later than him. Disrespect his time the same way he disrespects yours. That would be "fair".

Right, it would be "fair", but would it do something good for our relationship? Perhaps it's worth a try once, but should I just keep trying to one-up (be later than) him every time?

> Or, try not to work with him anymore.

I think it comes down to this in the end - is the relationship worth it for you even with some faults? To me, it is, so I choose to overlook the faults.
Looking forward to further write ups on faraday cages, design and uses.

> the reality is that the rate of child accidental deaths has steadily decreases over the past few decades as parents (and society) became more protective

While accidental deaths are down, I wouldn’t be so quick to conclude this is because of parents/ becoming more protective so much as society collectively implementing regulations and safety standards that target specific things that are known to be highly dangerous. The list of these targeted changes is extremely long, but some top mentions:

- Safer car and booster seats. Cribs, toys, and other household items.

- Advances in healthcare and access to vaccinations.

- Better education for caregivers around drowning prevention, safe sleeping practices, etc.

- Childproofed products like wall outlets, cabinet locks, baby gates, etc.

- Stricter rules and education on smoke and carbon monoxide detection.

- Road safety initiatives ranging from seatbelt and child restraints laws to anti-DUI programs.

- Improved consumer protections and communication of product recalls.

And the list goes on.
I'm really liking the UX there! In sports-speak there's the "Whose got the ball" method to identify who is managing a topic...and the way this is executed - from what i saw in the video - seems really straight-forward to help answer that. While maybe some super tech-savvy orgs might not immediately see the value, i can absolutely see tons of small and maybe medium businesses wanting this functionality. As a father and a husband, almost by definition i am a cheapskate...but even i have to agree that the monthly pricing is quite fair. (Even though I'm really cheap, i am done with "free services" which are just not worth it - especially for running a business on, etc. I am now in the phase of my life where i am willing to pay for good products/services, assuming i do't get treated like cattle.) Best of luck and kudos on a really nice product!
That's... rough, man. Take care. I hope that on the whole, the light manages to balance the darkness somewhat.
That's correct. Bufstream is not open source, but we do have a demo that you can try. I've asked the team to include a proper LICENSE file as well. Thanks for catching that!
That’s true about things like tax policy.

That’s not true when it comes to things like bigotry.
Al Capone was the most famous person in America, and everyone knew he was a gangster. They had to get him on tax evasion. The problem isn't knowing who the gangsters are, it's bringing an air-tight case through enough incriminating evidence that can be used to convict.

That is different than staying under the radar, which is why I put that as a different paragraph. The government knew what they were doing, and were building a case, because you could see something was going on. If you're using encrypted messaging, they can see that something is going on.
The scripts for both these projects work very well. I would recommend Home Assistant HAOS in a VM over a LXC or docker.
Interestingly, Line originally was developed by Naver which is a South Korean company, although it's gone through several changes of corporate control since.
In the US, and nearly everywhere else this type of hearing assist tech is sold, the Hearing Aid cartel is responsible for lobbying and influencing and bribing officials to maintain a stranglehold on their cash cow. Retired, elderly people with extra cash get screwed over with markup rates of 40,000% or more (yes, that's the right number of zeros.) Hearing aid technology, along with DSPs and specialized high quality, miniaturized sound technology, has received full benefits of economies of scale. These devices cost $5 or less per unit mass produced, but because of the "medical device" classification and the overreach of the FDA, people who need these devices cannot afford them.

Insurance won't cover it. Until you're completely disabled or retired, you're stuck paying for hearing aids out of pocket. $2500 or more, apiece.

The patent situation around hearing aid features in airpods and other headsets is the responsibility of the hearing cartel - the 5 largest hearing aid companies that collude to maintain this status quo, prevent meaningful competition, innovation, or alleviation of the plight of the hearing disabled.

These people are preying on some of the most vulnerable people worldwide and the US government is complicit in it. There is no valid, rational basis in fact for the medical device classification or the rationalizations used to justify it. People "might" damage their hearing? Liability disclaimers work for literally every other possible product. Maybe, just maybe, people are capable of adjusting an equalizer on their own, and those who can't or don't want to, can go to an audiologist. Dialing in hearing aids isn't particularly difficult, and the dangers are obvious and easy to avoid.

This is a world where people go to concerts and make other decisions injurious to their hearing health, and most of the time, the bands aren't required to disclaim liability or even notify of the potential danger, but if you want to correct your hearing, you're shit outta luck unless you pay through the nose.
Hi. I use shortwave (AI email built on top of Gmail) but I’m growing frustrated with it. I’ve never really gotten into telegram as an assistant. Would you mind sharing why telegram is the preferred interaction medium of choice here?
This product looks great! I know a team who might be interested. Below is a minor suggested edit:

> There are plenty of shared inboxes out there, but they’re incredibly expensive and bloated with features that small teams don’t need. How expensive? Try $20+ per user per month. That’s over $240 a year just for one user—in this economy!?

The wording is confusing here, "user" used back-to-back to represent different dollar amounts.
Line was actually a Korean startup. There days, it's not a great app, but strong network effects keep it dominant here in Japan.

Many societies that have extremely low sugar consumption have fairly healthy teeth. Also, in many countries people brush with fluoridated toothpaste. Either of those might explain your ex's teeth.

Fluoride in tap water was basically a large-scale public health solution for populations that didn't have alternatives. we have enough data to show fairly convincingly that as a health intervention it's not particularly effective compared to alternatives, and can contribute to the risk of fluorosis.
As soon as I see "dailymail" I, correctly, reasonably and thoughtfully IMO, start doubting whatever is linked.

There's a saying that in America, there are no poor people, only temporarily embarrassed millionaires. Poor people, instead of working together for a larger share of the profits, will instead fight to ensure that the rich get richer -- in the belief that they will be one of them some day soon.
Heya! One of the authors here.

Nope, its a one time thing. When the feature is enabled, a flag is set on the iCloud account, so you can travel anywhere and have it work. At the same time, a EQ profile is pushed to the transparency mode of the Airpods, enabling the hearing aid features.

Once done, it sticks with the Airpods, unless you reset them.

However, an interesting quirk is that if you enable this on someone's airpods, and _their_ device/account does not have it 'available', they wont be able to tweak the settings on their device.
Medical Device certification is regulatory capture. There's no good reason for it except to exploit a source of cash. Hearing Aid companies are among the most evil on the planet.
I feel the same way about monetizing my api reverse engineering skills. I taught myself to program by reverse engineering api's, and it's what led me to pursue computer science. I'm pretty good at it, but I can't seem to find a role to flex my skills.
I think this is against the site guidelines but will try and phrase it so that it's compliant because I'm curious if others have noticed this. Waymo threads seem to always end up on the HN front page, but then the last few ones quickly end up off of it (I assume because of downvotes?). There's so much investment in a company like Tesla where they've hitched their wagon to self-driving cars that my knee-jerk reaction is that folks are downvoting because "good press" for Waymo is not great news for Tesla (at least until Tesla releases a comparably or better-performing robotaxi).

I might also be that I'm in some odd Waymo bubble because I'm impressed with their performance and also incredibly hopeful it will greatly help usher in the era of self-driving vehicles more broadly, which I think is a net positive for humanity (I get it if folks find that thought ridiculous, but just the amount of brain damage (literal and figurative I guess!) we spend driving when we could be doing other things, how cars have been such a driving force for our built environment, etc., etc., etc.).
> Many people who would never steal money from an individual would happily steal money from the government.

It's always said something to me that most people who wouldn't dream of making a profit selling something to a member of their family will spend all day trying to profit off of strangers.

It may just be a matter of proximity, with a instinctual heuristic of shared interests. Rather than people making a division of governments between "good" and "evil", it's more like a government that's with me or against me. I don't want to hurt what's helping me. Which honestly takes it completely out of the range of morality, and back into realpolitik and pragmatism.
Presumably the bots weren't using the "proper" APIs even when they existed, so as to be less easily detectable.
Who cares? Call the feature something else, enable it everywhere and move on.
Yes, what you suggest would work at distributing the literal messages, but it doesn't really support collaboration:

* It doesn't help with coordinating who is going to take responsibility for a conversation;
* replies are stuck in your personal accounts (unless you remember to CC everyone);
* there's no way of discussing conversations privately without using another tool; * you can't easily share URLs to conversations in other tools...

... you get the idea :)
I really loved that quote in the article. It’s such an excellent description of the “computer voodoo“ users come up with to explain what is, to them, unexplainable about computers.

You’re right though, we’re basically there with AI/ML aren’t we. I mean I guess we know why it does the things it does in general, but the specific “reasoning“ on any single question is pretty much unanswerable.
But you will trust any unsubstantiated slander disseminated in mass media by interested parties as long as it paints Russia in a bad light. Got it.

If I did everything people said isn't a big time commitment, I'd have no time left!

Edit: A more direct response - I agree with you that it's not a big deal, especially if you have dumbbells etc at home. (I think it's worth it, and lift weights.) It's still a time commitment, and therefore opportunity cost. That is a downside, irt the parent comment. I think you'll find many weight lifters spend more than the amount of time you cited. (Especially if they don't have a home gym), and I suspect any benefits are proportional (not linearly) to time spent doing it.
I don't have any "feeling of powerlessness" when I am on a plane, or a taxi, or a bus or train or a boat, because I believe that whoever is conducting those vehicles have interests aligned with mine: to get safely and uneventfully to the end of the journey.

There is no such alignment on a driverless car, plane or boat. No engineer or executive will get punished in case the car gets double parked, let alone if it runs over a pedestrian crossing the street.
LA and SF in no way encapsulate the whole of global cities. No snow, easily navigable grid systems, wide American lanes, English road signs, best google maps coverage, etc. Once they are operating in Rome, Lahore, Seoul, etc. then I’d be more convinced.

I love this. Seriously.

I have teams with 1-2 permanent members and 8 more that may or may not want to check like... maybe once a week at most. Seat limits really mess with the "compliance officer needs to do something every once in a while but do we really need to pay for a separate seat?" issue with per-seat pricing.

A heavy user and a one-time-monthly user are different costs to the product but charge me the same. ;_;
Im one of the people that thinks they are functionally the same with a tax benefit (not a dodge)

Manipulation of the market rings hollow. The price changes, but there is no deceit. Running a successful business or starting a dividend also changes the price, but isn't manipulation. Who exactly is duped by BuyBacks?
I've used this[1] Terraform provider together with the Talos[2] distribution for deploying a Kubernetes cluster. I agree that the APIs available with Proxmox are not fully featured, but it more than suits my needs.

I'm running a four node cluster on salvaged SFF machines backing up lvm snapshots to home brewed TruNAS storage and it all makes me happy.

It is also worth mentioning that Proxmox uses ZFS making snapshotting quick and Proxmox also has a very good backup system.

If you want to treat your self-hosted applications as "sheep" (1) , then terraform k8s etc. is a better bet.

But if you are happy to manually restore from a backup or snapshot when something goes wrong, or automatically have your LXC container shifted to different hardware if you have a cluster, then Proxmox is for you. The reality is that in a home setup you will spend about as much or less time maintaining your "pets" than than you would your "farm".

The “GSM chirp”. I never got to hear it much because my family happened to use CDMA phones in that era, but I do remember hearing it a few times. I know it was well known.

I haven’t thought about that in a long time.
There just aren't enough pins. In USB Type-C DP Alternative Mode with 4xDP lanes, you've got 12 pins not including ground and power as it also does USB 2.0 in there. A single-link DVI cable or HDMI takes 19 pins. Regular DP could do it because regular DP had 20 pins to map to things. DP Alt Mode works because its pretty much just directly using the DP signaling on the four lanes and ignoring some of the other optional features of DP.

Any USB-C to HDMI adapter is an active adapter; practically nothing supports the USB-C HDMI alt-mode. That USB-C hub with HDMI is either doing things with a DisplayLink chip or it is doing USB-C DP Alt Mode and then doing an active converter from DP to HDMI. DisplayLink is pretty common on USB docks and can perform decently well for a number of tasks, especially the kind of workloads you'd expect for a Chromebook. And they'll work on pretty much any USB 3.0 (and even sometimes USB 2.0!) ports.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayLink

Active adapter just means it is performing some kind of signaling modification. Chips can be quite cheap these days.
I actually think QT is not too bad for small applications too. I wrote a Quake launcher over a few days because I was so tired of finding my Quake executable and setting the same configurations every time I load a mod. I knew zero about QT back then so someone could write it in an afternoon. I think it definitely can be used equally easy for something bigger, e.g. a frontend of a lc-3 VM.

I really liked that whole block quote though.
> Few governments aren’t a massive net surplus for their citizens

If the baseline is a complete lack of social organization, yes. But that's a terrible baseline. You compare governments to other potential governments, not to anarchy. That would be like calling eating six ounces of oatmeal per day a massive net surplus to starving to death; of course it is, but that's the easiest curve in the world.

And the fact that you can only have one government at a time means that your current one is blocking all of the others.
Unfortunately that's not always true. Taxi drivers often work for below minimum wage, or even occasionally below cost.

Does anyone know what the Hearing Protection mode does? It's not available in Norway (or anywhere outside of NAmerica).

I've used the AirPods Pro 2 as hearing protection for some stuff before, it works fine. Is it just due to the words ("Hearing Protection") which they are only allowed to use only in America or is it actually better than regular Pro 2 noise-cancelling?
