I'm guessing but it's not without some experience. I feel like I trick myself all the time - to guide myself towards becoming what I want to be.

There was a time when I felt unintelligent and incapable of great, technical things. So I kind of just did things that it seemed capable people did. I felt like people who are smart, capable, and rich now, hacked things when they were young and were rebellious and broke the rules and did whatever they wanted and put lots of effort into random interesting things because they were interesting.

So, because the end goal was attractive to me in a way, I tried to do those things too - maybe consciously, maybe not. I feel like that process made me different though. I have genuinely changed into someone far more capable technically, way more interested in super 'nerdy' things.

Anyway, I don't know what it means to think this through ego. I don't really get it.

But sunsets are nice - I like seeing them too. Yeah I suppose what I mean was that the commentary changed. Interesting that for you there's no commentary, I think I've felt like that before. Sometimes I feel like I just exist in a nice feeling - no words, nothing. Just experiencing. But that doesn't last very long, or it turns into something negative like boredom or something. Then I get up with a bad feeling lol
In my humble opinion, the experience is more one of realizing you've been acting and not having to identify so much with the character you are playing.

It's hard to describe, because you're still doing the act, just some part of you realizes the unimportance of it.

And some of that realization shines through in the act itself, in your character.
I really enjoyed this post; thank you.

"No regard for authority or beliefs. Everyone is equal. You want to know and not believe." I am often amazed / in awe of the internet for leading me toward this place. My mind and equanimity opened much further as a result of the knowledge share that occurred over the last 20 years. Much less judgment, more curiosity. Paradoxically this has led me to revisit areas, like religion, that are often dismissed as irrational.

Although, I try not to use words like that because I am still working through it.

How are you working through: why I am aware?
Can't this be solved by having cameras cryptographically hash images concurrently with their generation?

Even easier with video: Hash each frame in a way that's dependent on the previous frame. A hashchain, if you will.

Totally impossible with text, of course. AI text can be, in theory, genuinely undetectable.
The tweet that TFA was reacting to specifically called out soft social science citations, where it's often someone else's "vibes" being presented as incontrovertible fact because it's a citation.
ISO is non free garbage which is not helping the software ecosystem. Take ISO 8601, it is overly complicated, not implemented correctly most of the time as maintainers used a free draft and it does not actually solve anything properly. (For example you cannot represent wall clock which is a problem for dates in the future as time zone changes).

I also worked with mp4 in the past only to realize that the ISO was not enough as Apple had some changes in their stack.
Wow crazy indeed. What a waste.

There are a few videos on YouTube showing CPUs running without a heatsink. I haven't watched them to see how long they can run for, or if any BIOS changes were needed (I noticed the first mentions a lower voltage needs to be set to boot into Windows), but it seems possible at least.

There are also comments that claim to have done this (the oldest I saw was a Q8200, and someone said a 3000G could be run indefinitely without a heatsink).

Firefox got market share by having the best debugging experience, which I don't think it has anymore.

When developers had an incentive to develop Firefox-first, then users had a better experience using it.
Nice. Perhaps would be even better with a coil array and no moving parts.

Better watch out, they're going to try and play victim. "Hey, we had no choice but to totally depopulate a region under our control and protection, and kill 30k women and children in the process."

Totally inexcusable.
All caps disables spell check in Word as it might be an acronym. Best practice is to actually type normally then apply formatting later. Can display/print in all-caps using font formatting (font options "all caps").

I like to use Draft view for drafting (funnily enough) with formatting disabled ("use draft font in draft and outline views")
Lobbying for laws is not murder, you are correct on that. Otherwise, I'm not sure what you're talking about.
> - is there no exception for research (i.e. science) use, as long as explicitly labeled at such

It's fine, researchers won't be harmed by having to find a cheesy name for their rust-based project. Actuality they probably don't even need a trademark policy for doing this.

You need a name for your project when writing papers anyway.
I'm writing this on a passively-cooled mini PC with Intel N100 CPU. (It has only E cores, no P cores.)
All the books contain beautiful wisdom. For me that's what is so stirring about their lasting poetry -- you can hear the long echoes of human truth.

However, I don't know Islam very well! Do you have any suggestions for where to start? A specific translator? Thanks in advance.
Wow that is the highest shipping cost I've seen. Sorry about that. Partnering with an EU distributor is on the todo list.

Your best bet is to wait until 2025-09-30 at 3:21 when the registrar expiry is reached.
I wish this was the political debate actually being had. Regardless of what the majority decided on, at least the right debate was hashed out.
Can't the same trick be used for slightly more bits? 64-bit uses 48 bits nowadays AFAIK, which is 256 TB. It's usually 50/50 for user/kernel mode. If, say, WASM takes half of the user mode address space, it's still 46 bits which is 64 TB (ought to be enough for anybody?). Or maybe I'm way off, I don't really know the specifics of the trick you're referring to.
But passively cooled doesn't mean no cooler! Or does the CPU literally not have a heatsink?
I wish they adopted more of an actor model to emulate concurrency.

Or at least made it easier. I think I introducing locks is a mistake for the browser.
"If it's write heavy, and you need to use transactions for writes, you're screwed either way. (i.e. don't use sqlite)"

That depends on your definition of "write heavy". Given SQLite's performance I would expect anything below 1,000 writes a second to work just fine even with write locks, given moderately capable hardware.
It has a heat sink.
It's from a time before the internet became full of people trying to hurt you.
I agree that there is no ethics problem. The problem is in the realm of personal distaste.
You are totally correct but, pragmatically excel can be used as a prototyping system for nearly every business and if you need to have higher complexity you port it into a Python script. This is not unheard of and I think it's a common pattern. When you have your business analysts already getting something that works its much better than having a set of meetings trying to discuss what the needs are from the business.
Yes, I get it, fighting isn't safe
Is it stronger/better than Real-time Whisper WebGPU ?

https://huggingface.co/spaces/Xenova/realtime-whisper-webgpu
So where’s the AI part? You’ve just done pattern matching?
What you say!
Right, so that's very different than covering the CPU with tape and nothing else!

I frankly don't believe GP's story, I think GP must be misremembering this detail.
> If interest is high, commercializing it as a product would be a next step

Why? OpenAI's Whisper is a free local model with native GUIs on most operating systems. I wrote one myself in a weekend, it's one of hundreds of similar GUIs that exist.

What functionality would you be offering that people can't otherwise get for free? This is a pretty competitive space, trying to sell a TUI is going to leave you gravely disappointed by the sales (unless it's extremely impressive).
Is the testing specialist title a senior position?
I was looking at a position that I am interested in, a testing specialist in a software company and I was wondering if it's roughly of the same level as testing lead
Recent college grad here. Parents weekend was always such a fun time throughout school. Getting to meet my best friends' parents and drink with them felt so freeing. They would talk openly about their lives and it felt like I was talking to them as individuals, not just the formal 'mom and dad' relationship everyone learns in childhood. My mom would come occasionally and would maybe have 1 or 2 drinks. Nothing crazy, she just loved coming to the parties and meeting all of my friends. The other parents were the wild ones though. One game day years ago we watched an older woman chug beer from a 2-story beer funnel in seconds. I remember people taking videos and captioning it "whose mom is this". lol.
Not to be confused with the more familiar type of tickets.

Those tickets are for forgetting.
I'm definitely not the target market for this, but I do want to say that this really scratches an itch for something that should exist, and I really want to compliment you on how fantastic the execution is! Very clean look in both the physical and digital realms, and I really appreciate just how fully featured it is! It really seems like the ideal version of what this product would be. Also love the idea of the bookmark pattern. Out of curiosity, is that customizable too?
Thanks for saving me the time.
It would be helpful if you added the Ask HN title prefix to this submission.
CEOs are the true value creators in our economy. I don't know why they even pretend to need developers.
Wow, I hope there's a similar video platform now, filled with casual everyday videos of normal people, it'll be precious documentation for human kind.
Use the simplest syntax and check the code works via unit testing like you should be doing. Don't statically type your code as it increases the bugs by a factor of 3x typically.

This is one of the reasons all of the little tools I've been building on https://tools.simonwillison.net/ are Vanilla JavaScript, no React or anything that needs a build tool and only using dependencies if they can't be skipped.

I'm a server-side developer by trade, but there's something REALLY neat about being able to build a useful interactive thing as static HTML+JavaScript and know that it will effectively never stop working and is entirely self-contained.
> I don't know what it means to think this through ego.

I think most people are familiar with the feeling of being in a 'flow state'. Contrasting this with times when we indulge in a stream of 'self referential thought' is, in my opinion, a good way to grasp how ego influences our state of mind.

Try to imagine being in a flow state without actually doing anything other than observing. It's something I experience at times when I'm in a beautiful natural environment. I try to bring this feeling into my everyday life.
I think you misunderstand their core mission to be about users' benefit.
This is an issue I have had with web projects, especially for internal tools. Without constant maintenance, they reach a state where new changes cannot be done easily.

I am building https://github.com/claceio/clace to try and fix this for internal tools. Go, go templates, HTMX, SQLite and Starlark is the stack. A goal is that apps should be easily maintainable after six months and after six years.
I'm far (far) from an expert in this field, but when you think about how audio is quantized into digital form, I'm really not sure how one solves this with the current approaches.

That is: frequencies from one instrument will virtually always overlap with another one (including vocals), especially considering harmonics.

Any kind of separation will require some pretty sophisticated "reconstruction" it seems to me, because the operation is inherently destructive. And then the problem becomes one of how faithful the "reproduction" is.

This feels pretty similar to the inpainting/outpainting stuff being done in generative image editing (a la Photoshop) nowadays, but I don't think anywhere near the investment is being made in this field.

Very interested to hear anyone with expertise weigh in!

Isn't this also a plot point of Serial Experiments Lain (Hello to the geriartic millennials and Boomers!), except there it was a girl who committed suicide?
The problem is you need the virtual memory allocation to span every possible address the untrusted WASM code might try to access, so that any possible OOB operation lands in an unmapped page and triggers a fault. That's only feasible if the WASM address space is a lot smaller than the host address space.

I suppose there might be a compromise where you cap a 64bit WASM instance to (for example) an effective 35bit address space, allocate 32GB of virtual memory and then generate code which masks off the top bits of pointers so OOB operations safely wrap around without having to branch, but I'm not sure if the spec allows that. IIRC illegal operations are required to throw an exception.
And the former default is no longer developer friendly. (Or friendly to anyone else, really.)
The lack of even an OPTION to get a proper, physical ticket makes TicketMaster's obscene rip-off even more outrageous.
The Legacy of Web3
I wish the compatibility tables on MDN gave an indicator of when a feature became available.

My ideal would be a thing that says "this hit 90% of deployed browsers 4 years ago", but just seeing the date it was added to each of the significant browser families would be amazingly useful.
The c# team is supposedly putting in serious work on Discriminated Unions. I'm really interested to see how it turns out because f# already does a great job with them.
The karmic traditions developed this most completely and thoroughly. You don't need to buy into the supernatural claims to benefit from them.

A great starting point can be Shinzen Young's The Science of Enlightenment and/or Sam Harris's Waking Up.

After that, you might look into Why Buddhism is True or The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali or Mindfulness in Plain English.

The Healthy Gamer Youtube channel also has great videos going into this and how they tie into psychology.

David Chapman's https://meaningness.com/ is also pretty great.
> When asked how having multiple competing repos all claiming to be Rust would be beneficial to the Rust community they had nothing to say

Being able to call the commands of a fork rustc, cargo etc would allow trivial drop-in replacement in case the official toolchain takes a bad turn (for example with analytics).

Furthermore, being able to use Rust in your fork's name (e.g. g-b-Rust) makes discovering better forks a lot easier, as opposed to the names insanity with Firefox derivatives

There's just little benefit for the public in this Mozilla's fixation with trademarks, open source thrived for decades without it
(I know that Rust is not in Mozilla anymore, but the legal culture evidently persisted)
You can absolutely adjust the current for a stepper motor. Lower currents use less power, but have less torque, leading to an increased chance of missed steps. In a system like this, the motor torque becomes a linear force to move a belt — and the force required to move the belt depends on if a piece is moving with it, and which piece. It’s perfectly reasonable to bump up motor current when moving a piece, and bump it down when moving just the belt to grab the next piece.
IMG_XXXX is actually a standard for digital cameras

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

TFA, "Apple uses the ‘IMG_XXXX’ naming convention for all images and videos captured on iOS devices, where XXXX is a unique sequence number." isn't very accurate, as the numbers are not unique. They're just sequential. if you take 1001 images, the file system will actually create a new folder and roll the digits back to 0000 to avoid overwriting
f# has improved a ton in the last decade. Rider and Ionide are both good environments to work on f# code in.

Washington just voted on an initiative to repeal the state's cap and trade law on CO2 and it was soundly rejected by voters 61.7% to 38.3%.

The proponents of the initiative heavily focused on saying repeal would lower the price of gas. The opponents focused on how much money cap and trade raised and what it was being used for (transportation infrastructure, clean air and water projects, wildfire prevention, for example).

I think voters recognized that the things the money is being used for are things that have to be addressed and they would rather the money come from something that at least somewhat correlates with those issues than from some more general revenue source like property taxes or sales taxes.

We really need more affordable electric cars in Washington. We've got high gas prices (and still would have high gas prices even if the initiative had passed [1]), and low electricity prices.

Yes, I know many people need more range, or do not have a good place to charge cheaply or conveniently. But there are a lot of people who are fine with the range, or who have multiple cars and could make one be an EV to cover all the shorter range driving, and who do have a cheap convenient way to charge.

In my area (western Washington but not in Seattle) the electric utility (PSE) is doing a trial of time of usage (TOU) rates. They are trying out three plans, one specifically for EV owners. It is a two year trial just entering the second year. From what I've read it seems likely they will continue after the trial--the trial is more to work out kinks rather than to decided if they want to offer TOU.

Normal marginal rates here are about $0.12/kWh. On the TOU rate I'm on they are $0.08/kWh off-peak and $0.19/kWh summer peak and $0.33/kWh winter peak. Summer is Apr-Sep and peak isc 5-8 pm M-F. Winter is Oct-Mar and peak is 5-8 pm M-F and 7-10 am M-F.

On the TOU plan for EV households, off-peak is around $.09/kWh, summer peak around $0.17/kWh, and winter peak around $0.31/kWh, but they also add "super off-peak" which is 11 pm to 7 am every day and is around $0.05/kWh.

If you could get gas for the current national average price of a little over $3/gallon you would need to use it in an ICE car that gets over 240 mpg for it to be cheaper than the cost to charge an EV on the EV TOU plan if you do all your charging during super off-peak. (For people not on any TOU plan they save with an EV if their ICE doesn't get over 100 mpg).

I've read that there is supposed to be a big increase in the availability of used EVs around 2026, due to a big increase in EV leases in 2023. Most leases are 3 year leases, and many of those will be available as used EVs when the leases are up.

[1] Gas prices vary a lot from state to state even between states that have the same taxes and fees. A big part of that is different transportation costs. How far you are from refineries and from pipelines and ports makes a big difference.
Sounds like they applied insights from Mercier and Sperber's "The Enigma of Reason", namely that perceiving truth is hard, but sorting arguments by quality is much easier. Or -adversarial reason-giving as the engine of collective knowledge
Review: The author uses this article to say why they're not writing as much as they want. They break it down into two reasons: self judgement of quality, and the quality bar set by articles and projects in their sphere of reading.
It ends with having acknowledged the issues, the author is ready to write more.

Opinion: having seen this with many friends I think the author does good to acknowledge it, but the main thing to figure out is why they're writing. To be prolific at writing does not need to imply prolific at publishing.

I've actually started to write these review style comments because far too often the articles posted here don't have substance and interesting debates happen around bad data. So I wanted to see a change and critique the content not just the general concepts behind it. I now write more without having to accept my contributions are significant. But also create a network effect where friends read my reviews instead of being swayed by the upvotes and comment sizes, or worse the algorithm.
You no longer need imports, or namespace, class and main method boilerplate to write a basic C# program; there’s now a way to simply write some lines of code in a file with some implicit imports, and compile/run them like it was more of a scripting language.

To be fair, FAANG L6 and above are what, 10% of each FAANG? Maybe 5%? Probably 0.1% of the tech workforce. you're not talking about a normal job ere.
Same as C#. Anything that doesn't rely on windows libraries (so like various GUI libraries from MS) works fine on Linux and Mac.
> This is like telling programmers they don't need to know data structures before writing a program.

Serious question: What did you refer to with "This"? You might argue against something I didn't say here.

I did not say people should not read these books — I actually said the opposite: read as many books as you can find, even the formulaic ones. What I did say however is that writing entails more than is said in these books.

To go with your analogy: Yes, beginner programmers should be aware that just understanding the data structures alone doesn't make you a master programmer and that there is more to the craft.

And taking your analogy to the next step, what does that make that blog article? That would be like an article on data structures pretending you can do everything with Arrays and not mentioning anything else exist.

Don't get me wrong, story structure is crucial, but doing as if there is only one doesn't help beginners and communicating why this one is common and what advantages it has over other choices would be much better.
