The one that annoys me is handsets using proprietary batteries and charging. I want them to have USB-C port for charging. This came up for me with disasters where it would be easier to use USB power banks than AC chargers or converting 12V.

Some of the Chinese radios are starting to include USB-C port but all the mainstream manufacturers haven't changed. They should could out with new handsets, redesign old ones, or come out with batteries with USB-C ports.

"The primary value proposition of Mozi (today) is simple: It lets you know when you’re going to be in the same place (city or event) as someone you know."

This is fairly shortsighted. How many people actually travel from city to city. I bet the vast majority of people have a 3km bubble around their house and work and that's as far as they travel 90% of the time. Additionally, it tracks when you are going to an event. At that point, you are already out of the house around other people.

I like the idea of an app that is "private. Non-performative. No public profiles. No public status competitions. No follower counts. No strangers." but I think it doesn't need to hinge on always going out and traveling. It should simply prompt you to check in with friends (not in the mental health status way) but simply "Hey, you haven't chatted with Sarah recently, say Hi" or "Steve's birthday is coming up, wish him a Happy Birthday". Simply just connecting with friends will perhaps result in "IRL" connections, but basing the whole app on connecting after those plans are made seems a bit "cart before the horse".
I don’t recall compilation being slow. The Clipper app for small businesses that my father created used overlays because it couldn’t fit in memory, yet compilation was still fast (all of this was happening on an XT). Linking, on the other hand, was painfully slow, but one could use Turbo Linker if overlays weren’t needed—TL was unbelievably fast. Later, Blinker came along. It was slower than TL but offered excellent support for overlays (and a bunch of other useful features) while still being much faster than MS Linker.
I'd call MessagEase-style keyboards good for programming too - no (need for) autocorrect, and the extra room lets you squeeze in most symbols and modifiers.
Or Thumb-key, an open-source take on that.
Then it would be worthwhile to keeping them alive for as long as the premium is being paid
That's a hard subject - while I think I get your need to have a better safety net (so folks aren't tempted even more to opt out of existence), by delaying it, such choice is also causing indescribable suffering to patients now, and trust me those are not small number of people in topics where 1 is too many. A good 'pleasant' death rather a rarity.

Perfect is usually the enemy of good.
> 1. There will be at least one AI personality that will become household famous.

Does Alexa count? Because that's already true then.

My prediction: Between AI search results, the various LLM platforms, and improved phone assistants, traffic to web sites drops at least 10% across the board by the end of 2025.
The source of that article is very clear that the device types are not known:

Given that this a slide deck for a cable company’s advertising arm, it would be entirely plausible that this data comes from the hardware they give customers which is completely customized for their needs. If they were using phone apps, for example, we’d see people asking why the Cox cable app is using their iPhone’s microphone.
I don't get the "fair" argument. Would it be unfair if Ding did not blunder the rook? How so?
Articles recommending that I consider a programming language tend to be more compelling for me if they include, you know, an actual example or two of code in that language.

Yes, I can go look at the Rexx Wikipedia page or something, but I shouldn't have to.

You can't make money off my labor/work.
Right decision
Same, and I hate "experimenting" cooking. I memorize simple recipes and do them a lot.

I don't wanna experiment cooking, I want to have eaten.
In fact AI is here and here to stay. Suppose you have 2 avatars in a game and they interact. In fact 2 people hence interact between one another through those mediums, as if it were a video call.

Suppose one person now and then gets help from a bot impersonating the real person. The line between role playing and real interaction gets very thin.

My point being, 'role play' vs 'real interaction' is not a clear cut.
I only work with public data and not personal data, even if it is publicly available. Anyone can look at the Unternehmensregister, the data that is uploaded there is not for a specific purpose. This data is there to inform e.g. customers, suppliers, creditors, employees etc. about the company's activities.

After the first and second time I decline this, what's the justification for asking me again? They could at least have a "don't ask again" checkbox.
I cook every meal I eat too. Tonight is Egg,Feta,Red Pepper, pie with a rosemary base.

> Not unless you are already very knowledgeable and experienced in cooking.

I disagree. The only knowledge is knowing what ingredient to add what to effect the flavor. Sweetness, sourness, punch, hotness.

Which yes, AI could provide you with, however any search engine can or even a decent cooking book. It's not new.

Maybe AI is the new cooking book, but you sure not going to get a decent flavor compared from a well written recipe from a book.
I had thought that it would be nice to have a data-only radio. Use the same SDR chip as Baofeng to make radio that has USB-C port on one end and BNC/UHF connector on the other.

Handset would with USB-C data would be nice, but I think could save a lot of complexity making a radio with no UI.

In terms of threat model, what is the problem with MuPDF in gVisor (a very tight sandbox)? Obviously, a memory-safe language would be ideal, but there's nothing fundamentally wrong with the approach.
I assume you could just give the computer a large set of 1300 rated games and train it to predict moves from that set :)
My grandmother had "Do Not Resuscitate” on her file, but it was not known (or ignored) by the medics who saved her. She was very happy to have been resuscitated, removed the order, and lived for years after that.

I submit that not everybody that commits suicide (whether medically assisted or otherwise) would make the same decision if they it to do over again.
Yep that can be used for pre allocating the Vec like in the `with_capacity` example
Nope. Just KiTTY on Windows.
Official Kubernetes docs are terrible. No versioning (most of the links on the internet are dead). A lot of text with not much exmaples. This one looks nice. Spec with full list of options, version history and examples. That's everything anyone would need. It reminds me of my favorite ansible documentation/spec which is a pleasure to use. Love it
For those watching along at home, we're talking about these two comments from dragontamer:

- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27753913

- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27762749

I interpreted dragontamer's comment to mean "x86 does not have relaxed stores", not "x86 does not have a strong memory model". The (presumed) problem is that you can't actually test acquire/release code on x86, because it won't crash if you get it wrong.

There's a second level of this in C++'s memory model: consume/release. I've no idea what the difference between acquire and consume are; when I look it up there's usually some reference to the DEC Alpha, a 30 year old workstation and server chip nobody uses today which was legendary for pushing the boundaries of memory ordering. My assumption is that no hardware provides memory ordering exactly as weak as consume, so I shouldn't bother asking for it, since it'll just get strengthened to acquire on any chip that matters.

Also, from you and one other person, it sounds like relaxed memory models aren't actually a performance benefit? Would the opposite - ARM mandating TSO in ARMv9.1-A or whatever - make sense? A lot of ink and code is wasted talking about memory model strengths.
Seasoning doesnt matter. In all 3 cases, the key factor is temperature control. I can make eggs in all three types of pans with no sticking and no seasoning. Seasoning is only to protect the metal from rust.
Yes, very much agreed, and when you compare that to his works like Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking you see that being in the band really did bring out his best.

I am too kind to comment on Pink Floyd’s albums without Roger, though.
Someone make a FOIA request to the FAA for AANC and 'FAA Drone Zone' authorizations for flights in areas experiencing drone sightings. Be very specific with like 'AANC and 'FAA Drone Zone' authorizations for the ABC affected area and in force during XYZ specific timeframe (and break out each night, preferably in separate FOIA requests). My guess is that would shed some light on things. 'ABC' above would need to be the specific official FAA name for the AANC or FAA Drone Zone.
ccp is the Chinese version of c++. Or maybe they meant ссср, the Soviet version.
Because it is downvoted to oblivion:

> This! People feel like they cannot live alone or they cannot want that someone else be caused hardship (time or money) because of their difficulty.

> I feel like I will get downvoted to oblivion just because people vehemently disagree, but THIS CANNOT be the meaning and choice behind death. It is simply immature, arrogant, and selfish. But more plainly, it is suicidal / self-relentment.
No. It was 35 years ago, but it's not an urban legend.

Back in '88, when he was just mayor of Calgary, Ralph Klein had the city "solve" their homeless problem for the Olympics by buying one-way bus tickets to Vancouver.

It is back in the news because it's started happening again in 2s and 3s.

>which also contains; Phthalates, Bisphenols, Polyvinyl Chloride, Styrene, PFAS, and several other chemicals shown to cause cancer or have an unlinked but possible cause of cancer (we don’t know yet but there are alternative utensils not made of black plastic that we do know that don’t have the big ?)

You're probably ingesting all of that on a daily basis already, even without black utensils. Without a sense of scale, it's impossible to make a rational determination on what to do next. PFAS is in tap water as well. Should you stop drinking water?

Actively preventing someone from providing assistance is. There’s a big difference between not doing something yourself and actively preventing someone else from providing assistance.
SQL*Plus is pretty basic, but L will show you the previous command, a number will give you that line of the previous command, to edit, etc.
There are a lot of chinese nationals in the US. This kind of thinking is like those who think deporting all illegal immigrants will not somehow significantly harm the US economy. I feel like a lot of americans truly don't believe in "innocent until proven guilty" these days.
Whoops, this oversight has been fixed! Appreciate you mentioning this.
I think she's obviously right.

The reason that cars make stupid mistakes that a human never would, is that cars are trained to classify 2D images (and act accordingly). Humans on the other hand have a 3D model of the world that understands what is and isn't possible, and are trained to map 2D images to that 3D space.

The world is 3D so obviously the latter approach works way better.
But there's also a reason CNN (and most MSM) have lost all credibility. People finally realized which side has indeed been lying basically nonstop for the past 10 years.
Of course! I'm biased (as a Catholic), but I personally find the Church's moral stances to be fairly well thought out and systematic. But well thought out people starting from different axioms will often disagree with each other's conclusions!
Yes, they go away. 18 is a safe age of autonomy, not median. Normal procedures still apply, e.g. are you being coerced, does society physically demand too much from you (e.g. in a form of debt, pain, lack of sleep), etc. If they pass, they are free to die.

To reiterate, fix the problem, not the gate. All statements above are only valid as a whole.
Testimony is not evidence, and using the passive voice ("given explicit authorization", by whom? why does this matter?) is an explicit argument from authority. Physical evidence or nothing. There are no shortage of credulous people in the world happy to bask in the glow of attention.

Consider the counter-factual. If indeed there are aliens here, and have been here for decades, why not centuries? Why haven't previous generations found them, and not known their true origin? How curious that these artifacts only started appearing in the space age, when if they had appeared previously they would have been attributed to a religious origin (and not only not suppressed, but shared widely as evidence for God.)

Note: if aliens are here then FTL travel is not only possible but common, and easy, and this would undermine a great deal of verified physics. To get around this you'd need a conspiracy across all physics research (a la the SF novel "The Three Body Problem"). I'd also add that if going to other planets was like sailing a ship, then we could expect (lazy, sloppy) tourists to come around who don't "toe the line" when it comes to staying hidden.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and without it all such claims can be safely ignored (and indeed, can and should negatively impact the people making them).
yeah the best part of cooking is eating
Yeah. Love the music but I stopped being able to listen to it a few years ago because it's so.. self-indulgent and emo. It kind of ruined PF for me since I became aware of those themes in their other albums with Waters.

I still love and respect PF, but I don't listen much these days. I guess it also correlates with less substance abuse in my life.
>Was it a 10 digits industry then?

Apparently so. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phone_sex)

"By the end of the 1980s, nearly all of the major local phone companies in the United States, plus the major long-distance carriers, were actively involved in the phone sex business[...] In 2002 profits from phone sex were estimated at one billion dollars a year"

And in relative terms in particular that seems pretty huge given how much smaller all the phone and online markets were compared to what they're now.

My mom ran an adult foster care home. Half the population was elderly, half developmentally disabled. I liked helping out with the developmentally disabled folks. They were a handful, but they were basically enjoying life. But the elderly wing was mostly people warehoused and waiting to die. I remember happy moments, but I don't remember anybody who I'd call happy, and quite a lot of them were miserable.

There was one guy, an occasional escapee and reasonably physically healthy for his 80s, who had severe Alzheimer's. He just wanted to go home. All the time, that's what he wanted. I forget the details, but he didn't have a home anymore. Nobody came to visit him. We did our best for him, but what can you do with that?

We did our best for all of them. But I remember one evening over dinner where my mom and my brother and I were talking about getting our medical/legal paperwork in order. My mom said, "If I end up like that, just wheel me out to a field and leave me."

We couldn't, of course. But when her time came, we did move her to hospice as soon as there was no hope of recovery. She lived her life and bravely fought the end of it, but she didn't want to be kept around as a body, a shrine to her former self. A choice I deeply agree with.
I am always joking that duolingo sells a dream to speak foreign language fluently. My argument is I have not seen a person claiming learned a language on the platform.

That's not accurate, it can be used while consuming an Iterator and, depending on the implementation, be used to guide the consumer during runtime. The stdlib likely is not doing this but the API very much allows advanced behavior. We, e. G., used this for some part of a query engine in a course in uni to guide algorithm choice for operators.
You forgot about the overprotective mum.

If you ever need to do so again, try gqlplus, which wraps sqlplus to add such quality-of-life features :-)
It's strange/crazy because Ding even purposefully even gave up his B pawn, just so he could exchange queens and be in a 3 and 2 pawn game with a bishop and rook still in the game. Gukesh just tried playing out the game to the last second making easy moves while Ding suffered.
Yes, so how is the same for acetamminophen known to be roughly zero?
Launching a community for C++ and Rust developers in Ghent
I launched a community for systems programmers in Ghent, Belgium. There were a few events and groups in the area for machine learning and web development already. With this community I hope to bring the systems programmers together as well. As far as I know, C++ and Rust are the most popular in this field, so I mention them here. I am a professional Rust developer myself. But anyone who is passionate about writing performant and safe software in any language is welcome. The first event is next week in Ghent. See you there :)

I read his comment as an attempt to add nuance; people paralyzed from the neck down have various experiences. For example, in this study [1], only 12% of those with tetraplegy rated their quality of life as poor or very poor

Even 1300s sometimes make the best move. Sometimes the best move is really easy to see or even mandatory, like if you are in check and MUST take that checking piece. Sometimes the best move is only obvious if you can look 20 moves ahead. Sometimes the best move is only obvious if you can look 5 moves ahead, but the line is so forcing that even 1300s can look that far ahead.

Despite decades of research, nobody has found a good way to make computers play like humans.
Ha, funny! I did something very similar when we moved from old NEC APCs with 8" floppies to brand new IBM PC XTs and ATs! The consultants wanted something like $200 per disk to convert them. I was able to rig up a serial cable and a tiny Turbo Pascal program to send files from one machine to another. A couple cheap cable ends from Radio Shack and some spare phone wire from the basement was all it needed!

The serial printer port trick is very clever too. I don't think my transfer was as fast as 9600. Good job!
Please don't do flamewars on HN, regardless of how wrong someone else is or you feel they are. You both broke the site guidelines badly in this thread.

I wish you the best with your social app, but I'd like to offer a cautionary tail.

Barq, a furry fandom-focused app, has some of the same features. It's primarily for local meetups or seeing when your friends are in town for a convention. Unfortunately, Barq's location data has been used to dox and harass people before (even though they implemented a system that returned "fuzzy" GPS results).

If the primary value of the app is "know when person A is at location X", think through all of the ways this information could be used to hurt people. Even contrived and silly ways. And then try to safeguard it as much as possible.

I recently shared a blog post about how BlueSky could implement "limited audiences" without changing their current infrastructure. (Spoiler: It involves state-of-the-art cryptography.) It may be worth reading.

My wife's a contemporary art curator, and I've been to a gazillion shows and fairs so I think I have a fairly well trained eye.

The website doesn't work very well. It keeps changing before the image finished loading, the menus don't work.

I'd say your art is all right. It's not garbage at all, but it's not mind-blowing either. It looks like early works, like from artists still in art school, which sort of makes sense, since you probably haven't been doing this very long.

My advice, since you seem to enjoy it, is to:

- keep working: art gets better with practice. You'll develop techniques and vocabulary of your own.

- go to shows: look at what's out there. If you go to big solo retrospectives, you'll see what I mean about developing one's vocabulary.

- meet people: don't go to openings alone, it's depressing, and you'll end up drinking. Since you have money, I suggest joining art classes, museum tours, etc. Eventually you'll meet some gallerists, show them your stuff.

Anyway, the most important thing is that these things take time, so take it slow, who knows how good you can get. Just be serious about it, learn how it's done, and practice practice practice. The greatest artists have one thing in common: work. The whole idea that people are born art geniuses is complete bullshit.

I think you should drop the idea of making a complex website. Just throw some of your pictures on a squarespace page, and it'll be a lot better.
Out of those under 30, I bet there is a huge differebmnce between those between 20-24 and 25-29. It is no secret that women tend to seek people who are slightly older. A few decades earlier, a 20-22y old guys would just date 16-18y old girls and that wouln't be frowned upon nor put them at risk of going to jail.
Do you not need astonishing precision to not make any mistakes?

I wouldn’t doubt the team was looking for an exit and this was the best offer they got. Stackblitz has pretty much taken over their usecase so it seemed to me like CodeSandbox was going to slowly die.
