Ask HN: Which blog platform is suitable for personal blogging?
Hello everyone. I'm looking for a blogging platform for my personal blog. I don't want something self-hosted, just a simple and affordable platform. Which platforms do you recommend?
Poland is not terrible.
You can do most bureaucracy online. Things that require you to visit a government office can be usually done in a day and there is not much waiting.
Taxes are lower than Western Europe still (although pressure mounts to increase them). Courts are slow and incompetent but there is not that much litigation in EU anyway so it's often not a problem.

When it comes to taxes you pay 19% corporate tax (9% for small companies that bring less than 2M EUR revenue a year) and then 19% capital gain tax. If that's a lot or not I will let you judge. There are other low tax options in EU if you are willing to travel.

Kind of ironic that nowadays many people in our generation consider the newer generations to be lacking fundamental education because they never used GOTO based programming languages. I've talked to multiple people who lamented that young programmers have never done assembly or BASIC.

The "Spaceman" track was used in a Levi's ad[1] which used the intro. Then everyone went out and bought the single, and rocketed it up the charts in a lot of countries. At the time there was much disappointment that the rest of the song was not like that intro.

Yeah, "flying taxis" could be cool tech, but for now, companies like Electra seem to have a bit more realistic vision and product.

Their aircraft is a traditional airplane, but uses eight electric motors, batteries, and a turbine powered electric generator.

The specs are pretty nice. Seats 9, 75 dBA at 300ft, with 40% less fuel use than a standard turbo prop. The range is in the hundreds of km, it doesn't require charging infra at every site, and it's "blown lift," so it operates as a STOL aircraft needing only a soccer field's length to operate.

> In C++, it's an rvalue reference , which can be effectively thought of as an lvalue

hmm...this doesn't sound quite right? the comma operator's result in C++ is not an rvalue reference - it takes on exactly the value category of its right operand (which in this case is an lvalue)
This is giving me a lot of nostalgia but also a lot of PTSD.

AI as a skills amplifier really resonates with me. I’ve been able to quickly learn Python and Rust by using an LLM to bridge gaps between what I already know in other languages and the syntax or concepts in these new ones, such as asking how to perform string interpolation in Python. It’s helpful for getting up to speed and being productive quickly. I also find LLMs useful for conducting initial research on problems, especially problems that are new to me, as they provide access to a vast amount knowledge.

I am curious what impact AI will have on the consulting industry. For $20/month, I’ve gotten far more value from ChatGPT than any consultant I’ve worked with.
It is not but perhaps it is about a decade too early.

The price of drone technology is dropping fast; and will open for an abundance of use cases that right now seem silly and unnecessary - like package delivery, fun rides, and taxiing.

Unfortunately this development will be mostly in China - sadly the best an European drone company could hope for would be to turn this into some sort of military project.

It is enormously easier to code for an AI agent which pursues a task doggedly by iterating down its list of available tools, without any consistent human moral values, than to code in some kind of human morality manually. For that, you need to have solved philosophy. Mathematically, as a proof, and with a high degree of certainty that you are correct.

Good luck.
> But even so, there's clearly demand for helicopter transfers to airports

I mean, maybe some? How much? For instance, to take Paris, the example from the article. You can apparently get a helicopter from Paris to CDG for 4000 euro, taking 17 minutes (from a not-particularly-central point). Last time I was in Paris, the RER took 30 minutes from the airport to the center, and cost a couple of euro.

I'm sceptical that helicopters to airports could ever be a huge business, even if you cut the price by ten times.
Like many BASIC was my first programming language, Timex 2068 BASIC to be more exact.

Followed by GW-BASIC and Turbo BASIC.

Not only it was my entry path into the computing world as a kid, it also showed me how to do systems programming in a language kind of safe, alongside Z80 and 8086 Assembly.

Turbo Pascal was the next in the learning path, after those BASIC variants.

Many thanks to Dr. Kutz and Dr.Kemeny, and those that built upon their work, for setting me free into the computing world without being tainted C is the true and only path to systems programming.
Even when I visit the west and tell people I pay 10% income tax with healthcare and social insurance included, they immediately ask me how hard is it to move.

Especially funny with Germans who still believe they are richer than the eastern part of Europe, but a SWE working for the same US company from here makes 10-20% more due to lower tax. The faces they make when they finish the mental calculations are incredible.
US trust in scientists plunged during pandemic – but it's starting to recover
Humans could engineer a hydrogen bomb in the 1960's from publicly available research and multiple AI models from unrelated firms could do it right this moment if you unlocked its censors.

Turning that into an agent which builds its own hydrogen bomb using what amount to seized resources and to do it covertly at a pace that is faster than human agencies notice is a different sort of thing, but the middleware to do that sort of agent directed project is rapidly developing as well, and there is strong economic incentive for self-interested actors to pursue it. For a very brief moment in time, a huge amount of shareholder value will be created, and then suddenly destroyed.

A large-scale nuclear exchange is no longer the worst case scenario, in point of fact.

Assuming we don't hit those information-theoretic barriers, and we don't develop a host of new safeguards which nobody at the present time seems interested in developing.

If you’re open to spending a bit, I highly recommend a hosted Ghost.js blog (around $11/month). It gives me full control over my content and domain, and I can choose to keep it ad-free. In my opinion, it’s a far better option for building your personal brand compared to platforms like Medium or DEV.to, which often have paywalls and can be cluttered with garbage low-quality content.

Not at all - I'm saying the liability should go in the opposite direction. If worldstar fight videos incite lots of people to start fighting in the streets, then worldstar should be partially responsible unless they take actions to distance themselves from their viewers' actions.

The communist experiment was ran for 5 years in Russia, then was replaced by a politburo after masses were sufficiently bamboozled by a strong leader.

Instantly a council dictatorship, which is anathema to communism.

Any other examples of communism that were not crushed by a strong enemy or instantly turned?

Agree with this. A few prompt variants:

* What if you allow the model to do Chain of Thought (explicitly disallowed in this experiment)

* What if you explain the board position at each step to the model in the prompt, so it doesn't have to calculate/estimate it internally.

> "Community notes isn’t scalable."

Of course it's scalable. Community notes are written by people, so increasing the amount of people writing notes means it's scalable. Users find the added context helpful, so more notes are rated by more people more often. That's the definition of scale.

> the value of it has long since diminished.

No. The note remains forever on the tweet. There is no "diminishing". Anyone who has interacted with that post in the past is notified about the note. Our own Prime Minister here in Australia has had a few of his posts community noted. Politicians love to make bold claims about how awesome they are. They are note magnets. It's not a perfect system, but it's a good system.

Vehicles that could be used as a taxi are also big enough to be used as an ambulance or police vehicle, so they're also a solution to various problems we do have.

My previous apartment was here, and before we moved out there were 20-26 sirens per day, lasting 10-90 seconds each, coming from and going in all 5 main exits from that junction, often getting stuck in traffic regardless of path or which emergency response service they were*:

But I also have a day job and I can’t even begin to imagine how much extra work someone doing “TDD” by writing a function and then fixing it in place with a whole suite of generated tests would cause me.

I’m fine with TDD. I do it myself fairly often. I also go back in and delete the tests that I used to build it that aren’t actually going to be useful a year from now.

By that standard (and it is a good standard), none of these "AI" things are doing any thinking
There are three assumptions here:

1) that the AI is actually smarter - not the case

2) that the robot is total higher efficiency - not the case, due to expensive resources and high density fuel

3) that the human is not degraded by the economic system below the pure machine - also not the case

The current winning mode is one of a cyborg - a human empowered with powerful tools, which may include robots and AI. And one human can only control so much.
It is more than about using cookies, despite the regulations being informally called cookie laws, any tracking and storage of PII is covered.

> Would there exist any other method of implementing it that would be substantially different?

A checkbox or button, anywhere on the page, that you can click to opt-in or ignore to not op-in. Once clicked the site/app has consent to track that consent, so the box can stay ticked (or be moved out of the way entirely as long as a way to retract consent is easily available, perhaps via an obvious link in page footers). Done. Informed consent implemented in a way that doesn't irritate any user (those that care either way, and those that don't care at all).

They could even include a short bit of text begging people to opt in because it helps their site/app make more money from advertisers, without going as far as a pop-over or otherwise wasting a large portion of screen space.

> Its hard to imagine.

For those with very little imagination, perhaps.

> … ideal situation is that people … set … a browser preference …. Oh wait they already can.

Only with regard to cookies, and perhaps other local storage, which as I stated at the top is not at all the whole matter. And even within those limitations those options are rather ineffective against the experienced stalkers that the advertising industry consists of, because they can and will simply ignore things like DNT and will work around cookie/localstorage/other blocks using various other fingerprinting tricks.
I'm not too sure there's much data on when the stock goes down.

There were some comments that Amazon said they'd make people whole in 2023 [1] but the stock is now above it's pre-2023 levels so if they did nothing people are whole.

It may very well be, stock goes down => oversized refresher; stock goes up => undersized refresher.

America used to be pretty wild. Now, it seems more like a schizophrenic nanny state.

The software aspect is quite irrelevant, and I believe that what is described is simply how GmbH companies work. If you own a company and sells it, what you are doing is selling your shares in the company. In many jurisdictions this is capital gain (or loss) for accounting and tax purposes since you are selling an asset. Ultimately I suppose the issue is the tax rate, not the "implementation details".
My sister lives 500km away from Perth, but needs to be there every couple of weeks. When family visits, it's a huge pain to have to drive 6 hours after the long flight to Perth from pretty much anywhere (the closest city in Australia, Adelaide, is a nearly 4 hours flight away - plus airport commute time, security etc.). We would pay a lot of money for a flying taxi that could go to Perth in an hour or so, or even more if it could fly all the way to Adelaide, 2,130 km away. I suspect many regions around the world have people in similar conditions (some very rich people in the area own helicopters, but the price to fly and maintain them is extremely prohibitive for everyone else).
