Ask HN: How do you find and consume content online?
I don't actively use social media (Reddit, X or Bluesky), but I'm wondering if it's even possible to discover new content through any other source. The best I've been able to do is rely on HN links and substack recommendations, but I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of the independent web.

I've also been looking for a way to aggregate all of these sources since Omnivore shut down - does anyone have any recommendations on a feed reader that works across platforms and also works as a web clipper?
As a visitor, if a website I browse decides to block the browser of my choosing, I'd be more inclined to stop using the hostile website than change my browser of choice. that, or faking my UserAgent.
The BBC being publicly funded has a genuine obligation to be neutral, which sometimes turns into "both sides" weirdness.
I'm pretty sure my own father is not masquerading as a beekeeper to market his honey to me. You're right though that it alone doesn't pay the bills, but it does definitely help.
I did a lot of partying around NYC (pre baby) where this rule is rare. There are usually close to 50% of the crowd taking selfies, putting the phone in the air to "record" the DJ, or generally scrolling through instagram instead of dancing. I thought this was the norm, but then I spent a summer in Berlin. There, people actually dance, and are there to appreciate the music. The vibe is so much more fun because everyone there is contributing to the energy by actually having a good time, instead of being preoccupied with showing people who are not with them that they are having a good time. I think nightlife in Berlin is so much better than NYC because of a combination of the cell phone rule along with the stricter door policies, and I hope those come to NYC by the time my kid gets old enough for me to be able to go out again.
People don’t use a Golf VII as a family car, they use SUVs. And most of those are closer to 2 tons than 1.5.
google news feed, this website, wikipedia mainly. I stay away from social media, it's toxic (though the argument could be made that any news forum that permits comments is technically "social" media).
It’s high trust in very specific ways. Walk into a supermarket and a box of X name brand whatever and it’s 99.99% guaranteed to be manufactured by the company it says on the box and be safe to consume no need for holographic stickers or whatnot.

However, pick up a high value product and it’s likely to be some effectively identical fake while still being sold by the company it says on the box. An expensive restaurant is quite likely to be selling you fish when it says it’s fish but it may not be the correct species of fish etc etc.

Eating at a random food truck is safe because we care a lot about safety, but let the buyer beware around just about anything else.
> $80k is by no means “privilege”

Privilege is relative. There are around a billion people today that won't make that much money in their entire lives. And most people alive today will never save even 1/10 that much money.
Are they able to stay in business because they enriched themselves on early BAT token shitcoinery? Yes, yes they are.

> As a percentage of a jar of honey it's trace amounts.

Percentages don't matter -- vitamins and minerals are trace amounts but essential for our health. Literally everything beneficial for our nutrition that isn't a macronutrient (carb/fat/protein) or bulk (water/fiber/etc.) is present in "trace amounts" when expressed as percentages of mass.

Honey is very clearly not "just sugar syrup", because the rest of the stuff clearly has meaningful effects such as antibiotic properties. Turns out "trace amounts" can do that, so you shouldn't dismiss them out of hand.

You're simply taking way too extreme of a position. I don't know about "honey cults" as you call them, but you're being equally unscientific in denying any meaningful difference whatsoever from sugar syrup.
"straight to ground" is not how electricity works, but yes, they'd probably just destroy the cable in that spot, and the anchor would have only a slight scar on it at most
China tried to promote TDSCDMA for 3G, which also didn't work. At least they didn't make it their exclusive choice. In their more successful cases they didn't pick winners.
Yeah that’s the quickest way to go bankrupt. Imagine trusting the current LLMs to do that and the prompts involved. No one is going to trust that.
Firefox, also on Android, is what you want for this.
Make isn't, at all, declarative. It's almost entirely based on you writing out what to invoke, as opposed to what should exist and having the build system "figure that out".

That is, in make you say `$(CC) -c foo.c -o foo.o`, which is telling you, ultimately, how to compile the thing, while declarative build systems (bazel/nix/etc.) you say "this is a cc_binary" or "this is a cc_library" and you let it figure the rest out for you.
Strange how there's no spelling mistakes

Pretty split on this, I have tended to take a short clip of the DJ and the music if I'm liking it, and I try to make it so I'm not taking a vid of anyone in the crowd and they are kept anon. But I can see I'm at the thin end of the wedge.

OTH, one of the worse nights I went to to was in Geneva to see Lil Louis, and everyone on the dancefloor was just there taking selfies, it was utterly obnoxious.
May I suggest Firefox plus an ad blocking extension such as uBlock Origin? Enable every option, opt-in to every list and the web reverts to something a bit more palatable.
Exactly. All those things that are critical in a startup are really good way to accelerate possibly stagnant development. However, short-sightedness and ignoring tech debt kills startups too
"Haas and I touched on all that and more in an exclusive interview earlier today, which will air in full on a future episode of Decoder. (You can listen to my episode about AI spending in the enterprise that just came out as well.) In the meantime, I wanted to give subscribers the first peek at the highlights from my conversation with Haas."

"As someone who has been in the industry my whole career, it is a little sad to see what’s happening… Intel is an innovation powerhouse. At the same time, you have to innovate in our industry. There are lots of tombstones of great tech companies that don’t reinvent themselves.

I think Intel’s biggest dilemma is how to disassociate being either a vertical company or a fabless company, to oversimplify it. That is the fork in the road that they’ve faced for the last decade. Pat [Gelsinger] had a strategy that was very clear that vertical was the way to win. In my opinion, when he took that strategy on in 2021, that was not a three-year strategy. That was a five-to-10-year strategy. He’s gone and there’s a new CEO to be brought in and the decision has to be made.

My personal bias says that vertical integration is a pretty powerful thing. If they could get that right, I think they would be in an amazing position. But the cost associated with it is so high that it may be too big of a hill to climb.

I’m not going to comment on the rumors that we wanted to buy them."

Pat said similar things. He started off with "5 year journey", but a year or two in, when the demand for PCs dropped significantly, he did say it may take longer.

The board didn't want to wait that long and/or thought the company's financials couldn't support it (continuing low revenues for a few more years, etc).

The money they just got 2 weeks ago from the CHIPS Act prevents selling the fabs (Intel needs to have 51% ownership). Perhaps Pat committed to this and the board was upset, because it makes it hard to kill the fabs and make Intel fabless?
The entrepreneur is maybe not too strict on the rent payments? Maybe he adds other housekeeping services that balance the money side?
Maybe he sells his body. The longer I think about the wilder it gets.
I agree with others that while it is intriguing to read about his last year, the way he finances himself on this low level is missing.
Depending on where you live even an income of 200k$ can have you living from paycheck to paycheck. So it is very impressive if he pulls this through but how, teach me.
wow, i envy you! :) i have been working on a really simple self-compiling C compiler for some time, was wondering if you are interested in adding it to your OS haha. but if GCC works fine, then i don't see a reason :d
Even the original Turbo Pascal for CP/M was fast (e.g. running on the 2MHz Z80 SoftCard for the Apple II).
> "one big block of 16-bit RAM" is 64KB.

Without large model or something, one segment was a block of 64kB and me, I'd call that an 8-bit block of RAM.

OS/2 1.x allocated all the computer's RAM as its RAM, with no conventional/extended split -- unless or until you ran a DOS box. The handful of times I used it, it was a fileserver with 3+Open and those never ran DOS boxes.
I think the major thing is that you don't necessarily get to choose what happens to you as you age. My Fil is in his early 60s and can't walk across the room without becoming winded thanks to his heart getting messed up. My mother, also early 60s has through no fault of her own completely shot knees and her standing is limited to walking between places to sit.

Their respective spouses are doing great though so they're legitimately carrying the team.
Won't work in Windows.

I think it really has to be emphasized: One of the great things about just is that it works in Windows with no hassles.
Are there any other choices? :D
Its so easy to get movies now, but looking back.

Taking my kids on the weekend to get frozen pizzas and a couple movies at blockbuster, letting them pick the movies and a video game was pretty great, they enjoyed themselves and had such fun.

Movies are just a commodity now, and really not as enjoyable.
Open-source maintainers are the base that holds the entire industry! It is such a nice noble and generous act, I honestly wouldn't dedicate my skills and time to work in something that is not going to help me to pay the bills. (pretty selfish, I know xD). it's great to have you guys around!
so it's like a front-end UI for an LLM? it's an interesting idea for sure - for the business end of things I can see you developing it into a consultation type thing but I suspect that the window of opportunity is short. LLM use-cases are becoming more ubiquitous every day (as is market saturation).
(1) Among other things, this is an awful example of why documentation matters. So many people were taking this man on his word, and I'm sure if there'd been proper paper trails he would've been caught in even more lies, and hopefully much sooner.

(2) Given how high his diagnosis rates were, I wonder if any population-level studies have been inadvertently thrown off by the "high" cancer rates in Montana, or otherwise tried to explain them. From the outside it might've looked like there was some kind of cancer cluster when in reality this guy was just a liar.

(3) I recently heard a similar story, albeit on a much smaller scale, of a woman who was wrongfully diagnosed with HIV and got so sick from the side effects of anti-HIV medication (this was in the late 80s/early 90s when treatment was nearly as bad as the disease) that she was on the verge of dying. Thankfully she sought last-ditch treatment with a doctor who ran some bloodwork and discovered that she was HIV negative.

In that case, the false positive came from a health department employee who'd deliberately lied to her about the results. The employee lied because they wanted the woman to come to their church, where she'd miraculously be "cured" of HIV (and of being gay). But the woman only realized this in hindsight.

pushcx undermines his case by mixing more and less legitimate reasons.

It's hard building a browser to be accepted widely.

Though Brave also does incredible research in security and privacy --- and actually deploys it to millions of clients.

The 5-8 settings toggles to turn off sponsored features are a small price.

Inserting their own referral codes into links was a bit far -- though with 1) explicit notification, and 2) a setting to disable it, I would find it perfectly unobjectionable.

Some of the complaints are legitimate, that brave team discusses quite clearly in GitHub issues how to bypass blocks, though in many cases this amounts to the same as bypassing paywall or registration blocks with extensions, something I presume is so standard among hn and lobsters readership alike, that its absence would be remarkable.

Apparently Blizzard released remastered versions of the games, so they're ending GOGs license to sell the originals.

What I read was from “The Selfish Gene”, I went and dug up the section:

> A gene is defined as any portion of chromosomal material that potentially lasts for enough generations to serve as a unit of natural selection. In the words of the previous chapter, a gene is a replicator with high copying-fidelity. Copying-fidelity is another way of saying longevity-in-the-form-of-copies and I shall abbreviate this simply to longevity. The definition will take some justifying.

> On any definition, a gene has to be a portion of a chromosome. The question is, how big a portion—how much of the ticker tape? Imagine any sequence of adjacent code-letters on the tape. Call the sequence a genetic unit. It might be a sequence of only ten letters within one cistron; it might be a sequence of eight cistrons; it might start and end in mid-cistron. It will overlap with other genetic units. It will include smaller units, and it will form part of larger units. No matter how long or short it is, for the purposes of the present argument, this is what we are calling a genetic unit. It is just a length of chromosome, not physically differentiated from the rest of the chromosome in any way.

> Now comes the important point. The shorter a genetic unit is, the longer—in generations—it is likely to live. In particular, the less likely it is to be split by any one crossing-over. Suppose a whole chromosome is, on average, likely to undergo one cross-over every time a sperm or egg is made by meiotic division, and this cross-over can happen anywhere along its length. If we consider a very large genetic unit, say half the length of the chromosome, there is a 50 per cent chance that the unit will be split at each meiosis. If the genetic unit we are considering is only 1 per cent of the length of the chromosome, we can assume that it has only a 1 per cent chance of being split in any one meiotic division. This means that the unit can expect to survive for a large number of generations in the individual’s descendants. A single cistron is likely to be much less than 1 per cent of the length of a chromosome. Even a group of several neighbouring cistrons can expect to live many generations before being broken up by crossing over.

[end quote]

I think a reasonable extrapolation from this is that “genes” (things that are subject to natural selection in our genome) can survive more generations if they are surrounded by genetic material that are not “genes” (ie. Their copying fidelity is not subject to any selection pressure.)

If a gene in this sense is recombined in a way that makes it no longer the same gene, it most likely isn’t going to be beneficial to the organism (and thus the gene’s longevity.) Most genetic mutations aren’t.

Although I'm coming off as a strong just evangelist, I do want to point out that if someone already has a workflow with just scripts, it's totally OK to continue with that. Personally, I think using just is simpler for those who already don't have that workflow.

Likewise, if you are using make as a command runner and already know make well enough - by all means continue! In my experience, though, someone who doesn't know make will be much more likely to learn just than make.

I tend to sneak justfiles into the projects I work on. They usually don't have any good automation (no make, perhaps some scripts with a doc/md file explaining which script is for what). I sneak the justfile in the repository, and when it's mature, start showing teammates how I use it. They typically then switch to it. I don't think they would switch to it if it were a Makefile.
Had it for just over a year, but so far happy with the Renault Megane e-Tech[1]. It has a kerb weight of around 1700kg, of which 400kg is the battery[2].

It's smaller than the ID.4 so fits in our small garage, great turning radius which is nice in the city, and physical buttons for the most important stuff like climate and media. It can tow up to 900kg and supports a roof rack.

YMMV and such.

I assume you mean x86 since windows runs on AMD just fine.
Agreed. That is the only message I've seen on Brave mobile (Android), which I'm using to post this.

I use Brave for privacy. I have all crypto BS disabled.

I previously assumed that a TLS cert change on lobster.rs was at fault. Wasn't aware that any message was intended for me! I'm glad to learn of it!

PS: I now see that Chromium is at fault for hiding the message. :(
How do they intervene in the reactivity?

Genuinely curious as I have implemented one such system in Go. Maybe I could improve in some stuff.

I did use some kind of weakreference substitute (using an integer map) but that was because I was lacking a feature (some kind of dependent type).
Currently, every few months, I switch between Task and Just. Started with Task, went to Just, now I'm using Task again. Procrastination at its best

Given the increasing prominence of 'anchor dragging' and other such alleged sabotage incidents in recent years, I can only imagine that a very great deal of geopolitical-related planning is involved.

And indeed, looking at the 'sources say' map in the article, the planned route has a decided southward leaning, in what I assume may partly be an effort to steer a wide berth around most hotspots. (Or perhaps I am reading too much in to it.)
Primeagen interviews Uncle Bob [video]
A very well done interview. Discussing technical topics and trying to find common ground. Reading comments on Uncle Bob's Startup Trap article made me think HN users could maybe learn something from Prime.
No, you don’t do maintenance on them. They are designed to be laid and forgotten.
Moderaration is made via machine learning models spam comments, nsfw and deepfakes can be easly solved. I am really into this project and exacly thinking abouth these things ahead on. There is something I found contradictory about angel investors and vc space, if you pay attention to any of these podcasts they are always saying to just ship things at the basis and then add the complex stuff later bc what you must worry about is getting the users and promoting the product. But at the same time they come up with all those questions about it.

"We’re confining the applications for this Internship to those within this demographic due to a current underrepresentation in our workforce. Not sure if that’s you? Scroll down to the bottom of this section for a full breakdown of the eligibility criteria."

It might be diversity hiring, or it might be that somebody at Vauxhall finally twigged to the fact that front-loading your intelligence agency with upper class Harrow school boys might not be the smartest move if you actually want to understand anything other than covert alcoholism and how to play grabass with the intern girls.
I didn't know about Jean-Louis Krivine's book, thanks
I don't think I have strength to read the 500+ page report but there's an interview about it with the main author. https://x.com/freethepeople/status/1865154250457649557

I found the first 10 mins quite interesting. No real mention of politics, quite a lot on gain of function and bioweapons.
It's a significant gap, to be sure.

Charlie Stross has written some excellent books - his Eschaton series might be relevant to your interests, though unfortunately he's said he won't write any more and so we have only the two (Singularity Sky and Iron Sunrise). I listened to the audio books of these, and the narration was excellent.

I also have very fond memories of reading Accelerando, though reviewers said it was more like an essay than a novel, I don't recall having anything like that takeaway when I read it.
Why would you think he'd do that? That is a rather strong insinuation.
I disagree with the idea that “The start-up phase is not different” and that engineers should follow the same set of good engineering principles regardless of company age. It’s just not true. Anyone who has worked in industry has experienced “good engineering principles” standing in the way of actually succeeding as a business.

And other than that point it’s just a badly written article. Yeah it’s fun to read and has swear words in it but Bob doesn’t actually back up any of his points with supporting arguments, the whole thing is just a polemic. And the reason for this lack of supporting arguments is that Bob doesn’t have any industry experience to draw on so he can’t provide any first hand accounts to support his opinion. It’s nothing but grand sweeping statements about an area he has zero familiarity with.
yep just has good ergonomics for little things in my dev workflow
Great idea, I also think it'd be interesting to systematically donate to the projects with the lowest bus factor (or as that one XKCD describes it: "the project that a random person in Nebraska has been maintaining since 2005")
