I've read Naval's book, but not the others. Are there any in particular you really enjoyed?
The truly patrician choice.
It's free in hardwired logic, but the descriptor tables are accessed by microcode. The 286 already had a constant ROM that could hold the FFF8h mask for an ALU AND operation, but no fast shift by multiple bits.

This might be one reason for it, but note that page table entries also use the lower bits for attributes. This means that software can use AND to separate the physical address and other bits, and OR to combine them, with no shift operation required.
The TP Link (typo in my other post) and the Netgear are reliable, only the D Link causes issues.

Given that seemingly half the devs and orgs are antithetical to writing performant software, or optimising anything I somewhat doubt that’s going to happen anytime soon. As much as I’d like that to happen.

Performance isn’t the only reason to use container orchestration tools: they’re handy for just application lifecycle management.

> Why not organize a worldwide protest where every participant produces and shares Art denouncing generative AI

Ah yes, a feel good protest that can be completely ignored by everyone, especially OpenAI. Even better, maybe OpenAI could fund it? That way they get to claim they hear the protests but they don't have to actually change anything.
Ask HN: Would you use out of the box production cloud platform setup tool?
What would be the best approach? (Mainly focusing on kubernetes cluster on AWS).
Is there any good out of the box solution? Would you build everything by yourself (with the team)?

Would appreciate to hear some trade offs and other ideas.
This doesn't work if more than one value repeats itself.

Well, until today I didn't even know capacitor can have orientation! So more productive Wednesday than yours. In entry level electronics class I had decades ago it was always treated as a component that works the same way no matter in which direction the current flows.
> Thinking that recycling would address the problem of plastic pollution is wishful thinking

People putting their rubbish in the bin rather than throwing it in the nearest gutter / river / garden would get us 90% of the way there.
Please don’t roll your own Auth - there are too many examples where this went wrong.

Go with a proven, vetted, and trusted open source solution.
Would it be better if 500 companies produced 25% of all plastic waste?
Some specs like to claim things that are out of their jurisdiction. A format spec has no say on where that format is used. It's best to ignore such hubris.

And in this particular case it doesn't even make sense because the entire point is to round trip WTF-16. If that requires one "system" to communicate WTF-8 with another "system" (which is really an arbitrary boundary) then so be it. And anything that expects UTF-8 will need to deal with "invalid" data in a usecase-dependent way anyway.
Spaces in indentation feel like an artifact of bygone era when we didn't have proper tooling and had to do everything manually, one keystroke at a time. Personally I just hit TAB and commit whatever is in default config of autoformatter utility.
> Amazingly they've found a way to put "in-app purchases" though.

I've been so happy slowly going through my phone and removing every single app on my phone that has either ads or in-app purchases. I don't miss a single one.
One should ask themselves just this whenever they are going to act or make a judgement.
I haven't enabled jumbo frames knowingly on my system, but even if I had, why would the issue occur only every few weeks? Also, it seems to be rather independent of the actual network load.
Back in the day, my father worked as a researcher for a large, old dairy company. He was tasked with finding out what was environmentally friendly for packaging milk; whether they should start offering milk in washable glass bottles instead of their current cartons, for environmental reasons.

He found that the environmental impact created by the washing of the glass bottles was worse than the impact of the entire production and disposal cycle for the cartons. If you added in the production of the glass, the recycling of glass when it broke, and the extra impact from transport (less space due to not being able to pack as well, heavier) there was no competition at all - glass was way, way worse.

Plastic was a bit better than glass, and carton was the best available option. So they stayed with carton.

This was ~30 years ago, mind, so the equation may have changed. But I still find it important to check before deciding "Let's go glass" is the right option.
Yeah it's very hard to do and once it's done it's very off putting. And this is not about first results, this has been on the works for years and after hundreds of billions of dollars of investment it is very off putting. We're not at the concept phase, we're at the top of the logistic curve and the whole shtick is arguing that we're at the bottom.
The article is nothing more than a whinge session with no solutions offered.
There are polarised and unpolarised capacitors. Stuff like basic decoupling capacitors tend to be unpolarised.
Good, but an unavoidably biased method. They could identify about half the waste plastic items, and 11% of those were identified as coming from Coca Cola, which has some of the most distinctive bottle shapes, so is probably more easily identified.
For me the only really useful intervention was getting a black and white e-ink Android smartphone. I started to read a book per month and my short video watching time was decimated.

I got the Bigme Hibreak which isn’t the worst, but lacks recent android versions. Gives me hours of my life back every day, compared to the phone addiction I experience with my lcd colour screen smartphone
Ceramic capacitors don't have polarity. Electrolytic ones do. Thing is, electrolytic capacitors have far higher capacitance for their size -- though also higher resistance.

It's something to check, but the polar ones should be clearly marked as such.
I have an LG OLED from 2017. It started getting really bad screen burn/pixel degredation just after the 6 year mark (6 year warranty), I did a quick search on Youtube, and lo-and-behold, a whole bunch of other people, with the same model, started having the same screen burn-in issues at the same age!

It covers the middle third of the screen, top to bottom, and the entire bottom 1/4 of the screen with some odd spots as well, it's really distracting and essentially makes the TV useless (to me).
For three hours, they gave everyone access to create videos with Sora, some of which could very well be art. Not only that, but the form in which they did this and the statement they made could also be considered art. I think they've done well here.

In their statement, they make it clear that they're not opposed to the use of AI in art: they're opposed to the abuse of artists to pretend that OpenAI is doing this for their sake. This serves their perspective better than any juvenile anti-AI quilt could have.
I like plastic in that I prefer the lower cost and lower pollution and lower weight and lower breakability compared to glass.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a CM carrier board that has ethernet and ~4 sata ports that I can attach external drives to? I'd quite like to build my own NAS but I don't know what board to use

First hand account of "The Undefined Behaviour Question" [pdf]
All of these anecdotes seem to come from people who don’t bother to try to learn kubernetes.

> YAML files, and then spend a day fixing them by copy-pasting increasingly-convoluted things on stackexchange.

This is terrible behavior. Its not any different from yanking out pam modules because you’re getting SSH auth failures caused by a bad permission on an SSH key.

> If I get to tens of millions of users, maybe I’ll worry about it then.

K8s isn’t there for 10s of millions of users. It’s there so you’re not dependent on some bespoke VM state. It also allows you to do code review on infra changes like port numbers being exposed, etc.

Separately, your VM likely isn’t coming from any standard build pipeline so now a vulnerability patch is a login to the machine and an update, which hopefully leaves it in the same state as VMs created new…

Oh, and assuming you don’t want to take downtime on every update, you’ll want a few replicas and load balancing across them (or active/passive HA at a minimum). Good luck representing that as reviewable code as well if you are running VMs.

The people that don’t understand the value prop of infra as code orchestration systems like k8s tend to work in environments where “maintenance downtime” is acceptable and there are only one or two people that actually adjust the configurations.
Not hugely crazy, it's a function that asymptotically approaches infinity.

If you want crazy effects, IIRC the relativistic time dilation factor is also the temperature dilation factor, which means at that speed the cosmic microwave background radiation will cause positron-electron pair production in the hull of the spaceship, to a depth that is dependent on how effectively it blocks extremely hard gamna rays — like, if you're in a space suit, it will be throughout your entire body because neither the suit nor your bones are particularly opaque at that energy level.
Small fibre companies have also been allowed to use Open Reach ducts and telegraph poles to speed up the fibre roll out. This has meant I've been able to get FTTP before Open Reach had brought it to my village.
taoism as a religion were founded by the first Tianshi (prophet) Zhang Daoling somewhere near Chengdu during late East Han, then the doctrine spread to poor people and formed a movement called Wudoumi in Sichuan and ultimately its variant Taiping-Tao shook the foundation of the Han empire and began the "Three Kingdoms" period.
Who will take accountability if the AI says something offensive or damaging
I disagree with your sentiment. I think the routers openwrt has dropped support for are super low spec, like $20. And they still run older versions of openwrt.

You could probably also just run openwrt with out a gui and probably do fine.

Additionally, I like that openwrt works on higher end boxes now, like the zyxel gs1900 12, 24 and 48-port switches.
Is it possible that the Chinese gov't is chipping in to subsidize all this ? If so, it's a policy challenge for the US.
Might be the case, I don't know why but sometimes HN gives a second shot to some posts and the comments that were made a few days ago appears as if written now. This was posted 3 days ago.
> not worried ... but the creator of this website should be?

They should be worried. Hammers have many legitimate uses, voice cloning not so much. Claiming its a tool is meaningless when it has few legitimately legal uses. If there is any negligence involved at any step that violates the required duty of care, then they will have to deal with costly court battles.

If you do a little research this is not a new area in caselaw either. Napster made many arguments along these lines, we know how that turned out.

Your voice is also considered sensitive biometric data as well, often with a naturally higher degrees of protection under law in many municipalities/countries, especially when its processed without proper consent.

When you create something, you always have to be aware of the potential harms related to its use, and weigh that prior to public release. This is thoroughly covered in AI/business ethics courses.
> I think you're vastly overstating the case saying these languages will die..

Sometimes you need to wake up people. Because I don't want to live in a world where we have Javascript in the frontend and in the backend. But this is going to happen if the creators of other programming languages are continuing to ignore development for mobile apps.
"Biggest"? "officially biggest"? These terms weren't used by the people who chose that word: https://www.macquariedictionary.com.au/woty-2024/

Looks like Gizmodo is suffering some enshittification itself...
Uhm, doesn't that need to keep the furnaces at an even temperature? I don't know much about mini-mills specifically, but devices generally age quickly if you heat and cool them repeatedly.

Anyway, it doesn't matter. In terms of money, the LA Times is complaining that the investment in solar is close to 100% efficient, just not 100%. 0.x% of panels break every year because of hail or other random wear and tear, so if they produce saleable power 90% of the time that's an investment where 0.0x% of the money is wasted. Like, wow. I wish my biggest problem could be that small.
Most people are concerned about privacy on a social networks that farm your data, they already know who you are the moment you upload a photo, write something mildly descriptive, or do just about anything else on social media.

If you want to remain anonymous, use forums like reddit, HN amongst others.

I see this as a brilliant step in the right direction of curbing teen depression and suicides. It's sad to see so much hate on something with so much potential, people are just bashing this proposal instead of offering alternatives, like having a centralised governamental services that informs social media platforms whether a person is eligible to create an account on social media without giving away any more personal information; instead, it's all just hate and bad mouthing, it saddens me.
Any demo or sign up for trail?
This article is pointless. The issue is what occurs with the waste after it is produced. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada%E2%80%93Philippines_was...
Well, I agree.

The fatigue from the screen is real.

What I'm trying to achieve here with the app is to give a set of tools that can help deal with this fatigue. Like adding a variety to the texts you see, changing the intensity of the pop-up screen, adding cooldown, or hard mode and schedules.

The Northstar is to adjust the nudge automatically based on the level of fatigue from the screen.

I know I'm far from it now. But I'm attempting. I'm changing the nudges often and their configuration manually for myself now. And it works for me and I believe it can help other folks as well.

That's it.
> Why the hell would you ever plead to something you didn't do if you had the resources to fight it?

Does this sound like mere curiosity to you?
I'm very unhappy with the only ISP option I have in my apartment. I'll get (physical) spam from other ISPs that don't even offer service in my building, and around once a year I check a ton of common ISPs to see if they've added service to my building, but they never have. Meanwhile, every few months there will randomly be outages in the middle of the day for a few hours, but they always claim after the fact that the outage was shorter than it actually was so I don't qualify for any refund. The one time I tried to chat with their customer service they lied to me about it and then somehow the message asking me "is there anything else I can help with?" didn't show up until several minutes after the timestamp that it showed, by which point it came with a follow-up saying they were closing the chat due to a lack of response.
This is an extremist position and disagrees with a century of science on the topic. That simplistic "weak-minded" indicates that you are just looking for a chance to make yourself feel/look better than others and are unable to get positive stimuli on your own positive merits.

Additionally, you seem to need this illusion of control, that you and your "strong mind" are actually in charge, which current research heavily disagrees with. If you want to put that to the test, I've got a few ideas for you...

Humans are not as simple as you seem to think. If only it were that easy.
I'd argue, actual adults are primarily able to discuss a topic without shitting on those they perceive as "weak".

Greetings from somebody who used to work on the treatment side of things.
For most small setups, the cost of running an empty kubernetes cluster (managed) is typically higher than setting up a db, a couple of vms and a loadbalancer, which goes a long way for running a simple service. Add some buckets, a CDN and you are pretty much good to go.

If you need dedicated people just to stay on top of running your services, you have a problem that's costing you hundreds of thousands per year. There's a lot of fun and easy stuff you can do with that kind of money. This is a pattern I see with a lot of teams that get sucked into using Kubernetes, micro services, terraform, etc. Once you need a few people just to stay on top of the complexity that comes from that, you are already spending a lot. I tend to keep things simple on my own projects because any amount of time I spend on that, I'm not spending on more valuable work like adding features, fixing bugs, etc.

Of course it's not black and white and there's always a trade off between over and under engineering. But a lot of teams default to over engineering simply by using Kubernetes from day one. You don't actually need to. There's nothing wrong with a monolith running on two simple vms with a load balancer in front of it. Worked fine twenty years ago and it is still perfectly valid. And it's dead easy to setup and manage in most popular cloud environments. If you use some kind of scaling group, it will scale just fine.
I feel like we're far too obsessed with the "nobility" of stuff we do for fun. Watch YouTube shorts, scroll reddit, whatever.

It's only "addictive" because it's fun, it's no more pointless than anything else you might do for fun. What are you really achieving by using this app? Do you have an unhealthy relationship with your phone, or are you just arbitrarily ranking it low on the "worthiness" of random shit you might choose to do to kill some time.
Not sure what you expect from your light. But from all the random bulps I've seen and tried I still very much like all my WiZ bulps, their light and also that I can control them with a HTTP API without awkward hacks our cloud weirdness.
Some people may disagree that the chance of your child taking a cut from glass while playing in an area with sharp glass debris is a milder option than your child having microplastic with all its xenoestrogens and other disruptors accumulating in body since before being born[0], especially considering that 1) not all glass pieces are sharp and 2) plastic can be sharp enough to cut your skin as well (I personally have received cuts, deep enough to spill blood, from plastic—as an adult), but to me the choice would be clear. Too bad I don’t get to make that choice—the ship has sailed and all we can do is try to clean up the existing mess and stop generating more of it.

That's because you dislike JS and think it is a problem to solve. That's a you problem.

You can take the more drastic approach and lock yourself out of your phone by changing it's unlock code and use a timelock [0] to prevent yourself from bypassing it for a given time. Works also with parental-control like Apps that require you to enter a password/code to unlock. No bypassing here.

I don't quite see when a package is "understood to be the consumer" of... itself? We're talking about other packages importing an interface.

I can give you a concrete example.

I have a "storage" package, that exports multiple storage implementations/backends. Files, in-memory, S3, zip...

Some other packages pick one of the implementations to instantiate, depending on the use case (this is NOT a case of mocking for testing or anything like that).

Most other packages work with a "storage" interface, as they're only concerned with reading/writing to "storage".

So the storage package, or in any case some package, has to export the interface. Otherwise, every consuming package would have to copypaste that interface, which is NOT warranted.
it's currently very cool to announce to everybody how little time you spend on your phone, it's like the new "I'm vegan" or "I use arch btw".

people don't realise how addiction works - see the Vietnam veterans case: https://jamesclear.com/heroin-habits

we have bigger (social) problems that's causing the phone addiction: if it wasn't a phone, it would be video games, TV or alcohol or something else.
It not only costs more but usually comes with a less bright screen.

You can also just buy a $100 usbc touchscreen if you really ever need one.
The best one for that (IMHO, though I should note this company sent me one to test, and it's been running my NVR for months now) is the Axzez Interceptor: https://www.axzez.com/product-page/interceptor-carrier-board

It's purpose-built for that, and they even have a rackmount chassis for it, though you could design your own too. Power for the drives requires a separate power supply though.

The other option right now is the Radxa Taco (https://radxa.com/products/io-board/taco/), but availability has been scarce. I've ordered one and will hopefully test it again soon, with the CM5!

(That is, if you're wanting to go down the Pi NAS route—there are certainly other options out there!)
