The Fusion360 free-tier has been getting ever more restrictive over time. At the moment it is at:

> users who generate less than $1,000 USD in annual revenue and use for home-based, non-commercial projects only.

Which already makes it unsuitable for any Open Source work. While one might still accept those restrictions for quick one-off projects, those projects are also the ones that FreeCAD can handle fine.
Is it? IMO sticking with OpenSCAD is fundamentally limiting your progress with modelling for 3D printing. It's not CAD.

Simple parts, yes. Geometry and trigonometry demos? Yes. Actual computer-aided design... no not really.

They've probably calculated that that the value they get from showing ads on more expensive TVs (read: to a more affluent audience) rises at least as fast as the sale price of the TV, maybe even faster.
Seemed pretty simple to me and it's not my field.

My understanding was given a prompt X that is normally rejected, create Y variations with small adjustments to phrasing, grammar etc until it gives you the answer you're after.

The term "jailbreaking" used within a LLM context, is when you craft a prompt as to escape the safety sandbox, if that helps.

A sort of brute forcing the prompts if you like.

It would be good to have some example commands that can be ran right after installation, rather than having to figure out how to run the queries.
I think the definition is correct, they say "divisible by no other natural number". Which implies we don't count the number itself as a divisor.
I think you have to see someone who has used it for a while (or use it for a while yourself) to understand.

To me nano is just a basic text editor (open, edit, save). Vim is a way to 'jack in' and be able to manipulate text with my mind. I don't 'think' anout how to accomplish something, I just think about what I want done and my hands just do it.

This comes from the modal nature of the editor and text objects, mostly, but there are so many other little things (like macros, ex commands, filters) that you pick up over time that all add up to a great text manipulation toolkit.

Aren't you missing a zero of something? Because 900ppm isn't “very poorly ventilated”.

I don't think it is.

Mathematics as a discipline predates the invention of the digit zero. The concept sure, but the notation and building positional representations around it is around 2000 years old.

The Quectel BG95 is a similar modem chip. If you want to add low-bandwidth connectivity in a project you can just get a BG95 or this Simcom as a devkit and e.g. a 1NCE SIM card, hook up the UART pins to your microcontroller and you're off to go. (You may need a logic level converter in between)

That was a hate crime case under existing legislation. It's not relevant to the interpretation of 'psychological harm' in this new legislation.

There are some things that are bad, but not the domain of a government to handle. When a 4 year old kid punches another 4 year old kid in a playground fight, the government usually does not get involved. Rather, adult supervision plays an instrumental role in child development. The same is the case for the digital domain. Unfortunately, its very hard to know what someone is doing online. In some cases Ive seen parents just hand their kid their phone and allow them to do anything. In other cases Ive seen parents conciously guide kids. I also guess its harder to know when youre kid has been exposed to some type of harm. Personally, Id start by making kids aware of the dangers as early as possible.

With regards to social media, yes: we have seen some really unscrupulous use of it. Ranging from driving genocides to cyber-bullying and sex trafficking. Banning something is however often the worst way of dealing with it (I can just imagine the next generation of kids getting a high by figuring how to bypass whatever security is in place; Kids are often the best people to figure out how to break some rule that was set by some dumb adult). On the otherhand, there are people who have used the internet to do genuine good. Ive learned a tonne from youtube videos, MOOCs and wikipedia. Ive also had a tonne of good meals thanks to cooking videos on tiktok. Quite frankly, the free access to information is great for equallizing the playing field. Today I dont have to be an MIT student to learn about the latest breakthroughs in AI. Social media is also a huge boon for small businesses (like a local bakeshop). It was instrumental in reconnecting with loved ones post a natural disaster.

What we really need is to hold our big tech executives accountable. If facebook or google make money of a scam ad or sex trafficking scandal, then the executives of these companies should be charged for facilitating a crime (and charged with jail time not money). We are far passed the age where we need "rapid innovation" in this field. This should extend to cases where children are exposed to content that is inappropriate (theres no excuse now that we have the kind of AI models we have).

The other very pressing thing to note is the mental health epidemic that has started because of social media (which is where I presume you're coming from). I personally do think that kids should not be uploading stuff (and parents should not be making money of their kids cuteness). However, Im not sure how youd enforce such a thing. Banning kids under 16 will simply open a blackmarket for IDs up. Public education could be one way to help mitigate the risks, but also I think stricter penalties for social media bosses will disincentivize them from being over eager to hyper-optimize your feed. Other possibilities include rules about frequency by which social media apps can send notifications and banning them from being pre-installed on consumer devices (though I feel both are overly draconian and there may be other creative ways of getting around them).
So you have to show your ID to social networks. Very intrusive.
Jesus, no. Computer illiteracy is a growing problem, kids and teens nowadays have trouble understanding even the basics of what's going on in their computers apart from "swipe here for the next addictive depressive 5-second slop". That's very very bad at a time when these devices are more and more important in their lives.
While I really like the idea, I think we're still too far out tech wise to make it a reality in a way that it would live up to the dream. EVs of today are really heavy and even with a fairly small range, I fear the weight from the batteries would butcher any kind of driving experience for a car like that. In time though, I hope we get plenty of old cars retrofitted to be EVs as the tech becomes lighter, cheaper and more standardized.
I've definitely come across the second, when posting links to verifiable hasbarah idf social media propaganda training videos and powerpoints the comment got flagged for no reason.

Judgement without facts.

it would be OK in our case, but lots of kids live too far away to walk. Not everyone has a car.

it was also an example of how hard it is to do without it. My daughter is old enough not to need those rules and at this point (and at a sixth form college: a school that only takes kids 16+) I do not think such rules are needed.

For a more real example one parent told me of their low income family free travel to school that required a mobile app, but the school banned kids from even taking phones in.
Global thermal coal exports and power use to hit new highs in 2024
So, this doesn't use a traditional heat exchanger. Instead it appears to "pulse" air inwards then outwards through a series of fins.

It effectively heats the fins slightly in one direction, then cools them again slightly in the opposite direction.

Same with wetting and drying for recovering moisture.

I am surprised that the fins appear to be plastic - one would imagine that steel fins would have far better thermal capacity
I think with this model you can do this as long as you install them in a synced pair (which I think is the baseline assumption).

Normal (heat recovery mode) you have them reverse flow every 60 seconds or so to swap heat.

In cooling mode you just run then continually. One is bringing in fresh air and the other is removing stale air.

The heat store in the intake will soon cool to the outside temp and the heat store in the output is irrelevant (apart from maybe slowing the air flow and creating noise).

If you manually control the system you could combine with a few open windows to create cross breezes even on still evenings.
Heh ye and we have nightvision too. Just needs a flashlight.
Less "open" than the name suggests, because the design is for non commercial use only, yet this is very much the kind of product that needs to be sold to see widespread adoption.
What's your point? There's no examples of psychological harm under the new legislation because it's new. We can however infer from how the old legislation has been enforced.
I am a software engineer in the UK. One of the reasons I want to move from the UK is because so many of our populace has attitudes such as yours. The online safety act won't solve the problems you think it will and will create a whole new host of issues.

What is amusing is that you even admit that you solved the problem of online scammers with your grandparents through education (I've seen the videos you mentioned as well). This is how people stay "safe" is to be educated on the dangers, not for overbearing regulation.

> To anyone who thinks that regulating social media is some sort of prelude to a totalitarian state, I suggest you watch Britons at a traffic-light-controlled pedestrian crossing.

The last time I checked 7 people a day were being prosecuted for speech related offences (I guarantee it is more now). I've seen videos of the police arresting disabled pensioners over spicy tweets, journalists have their homes raided in the UK regularly if they criticise UK foreign policy over Israel (doesn't get reported on btw). We are already in a form of a soft totalitarianism. You just haven't noticed because you haven't been looking.
> I'm surprised it doesn't come from the EU. On the other hand, I'm not sure if this move is against short form content in general, but rather against China.

How can you be unsure about that, of course it's a move against China. There is after all an impending ban on TikTok specifically, not on Youtube, Facebook, Instagram or Snap.

It's not surprising that it doesn't come from the EU, it's probably challenging to write legislation there that specifically targets TikTok / Chinese corps while excluding American corps.
Ok. So it’s all single threaded, right? Then it only looks like run concurrently from the consumer side. There’s no actual work being done at the same time
Ok, but let's say the scenario is that Apple, Google, Microsoft need to build a chip plant for 0.5nm chips. They need $1 trillion.

If each company is worth $20 trillion in 20 years, they can easily raise $1 trillion together by selling some shares or using their shares as leverage or just straight up using their cash flow. I'm simplifying things by ignoring inflation, but you get the point.

The bottom line is, if capitalism thinks a $1 trillion fab will produce more than $1 trillion in value, it will happen.
You don't actually need most things. Any yet here we all are, all on the same website. Not because anybody needed to be, just because we wanted.

Still remember reading the book the movie is based on: “Traumnovelle” by Arthur Schnitzler.

It is but that doesn't help us here in Sweden, we pay the highest bid price for the electricity generated here but being exported.

The last government at least put in place windfall taxes to pay us back during the massive cost increase in the first winter after Russia invaded Ukraine. We got compensated a few months later the prices went insane. The current government already said they won't do that, which is rather absurd since a lot of our electricity is generated by Vatenfall, a state company.
I was a freerange when I was a kid. from about the age of 6 I was left in the garden/scrubland out the back, to be feral with about 4-12 other kids that lived on houses that backed onto the same scrubland.

My wife is and was horrified by this. She was shuttled to other kids houses, and never allowed to go off on their own until deep into her teens.

Objectively kids are much much safer now, however they are not allowed freedom outside. Most of this is because of safety (where are they, are they being abused, have they been run over, are they in a gang, etc etc)

So _you_ as a parent need to entertain them

Giving your kid "the internet" shuts them up, and means you can do other things. However that comes with a bunch of risks that most parents aren't aware of.
I'm not sure what your point is? Are you arguing that no company can sustain itself on $20 per month subscriptions? Or just that OpenAI can't?

Or that $20 a month isn't cheap?

There are two main camps of editor user: habitual adopter and entrenched.

Habitual adopters tend to jump from editor to editor, for myiad reasons. Entrenched users tend to dig in and try to learn their editor when they hit snags.

Vim amd Neovim are great for the entrenched type of user. There is so much depth to the editor, but it is not immediately obvious. Habitual adopters tend to discard Vim when a new editor gets a little traction.

Conservatives + Reform got more votes than Labour. More people voted against Labour than for them. In any other system they wouldn't have won, and at the very least wouldn't have a majority.

The other thing to consider is that the electorate basically moved to the right in 2024 (Tory voters moved to Reform), but parliament shifted hard to the left.
Sorry, what I mean is that the potential social fame outweighs most social penalty that you get from filming against the another persons will. The outweigh was not so clear previously, and not so easily achieved.
In these setups compute is ephemeral and decoupled from storage (you would normally use an object storage offering that is actually redundant out-of-the-box), so the 2TB is for working memory + OS + whatever and the 20TB NVMe is purely for maybe local spilling and a local cache so you can save on storage reads.

If a node fails when running a process (e.g. for an external reason not related to your own code or data: like your spot EC2 instance terminating due to high demand), you just run it again. When you're done running your processes, normally the processing node is completely terminated.

tl;dr: you treat them like cattle with a very short lifecycle around data processes. The specifics of resource/process scheduling being dependent on your data needs.

Launched app that enhances macOS focus modes
Hey all!

I made this macOS application after comming back from holidays and realising I can't keep my focus when there are so many distractions trying to steal my attention.

I love that macOS introduced focus modes, but there are few things that are bugging me: Even when the focus mode is enabled, all apps that are in my dock can still update their notification badge! So even if I quit Messages app and turn on focus mode, receiving new message means that a red badge appears on Messages app in my Dock. I click it without thinking too much, start reading, replying, click some link and the story goes from there : )) Focus is lost : (

So my idea was to build an app that allows me to temporarily remove apps like Calendar, Mail, Messages, etc. from dock while I'm trying to focus on my work. And leave only those ones that are required for my task And it helped!

Turning focus mode off after completing my task brings back my original dock allowing me to catch up on my missed messages or mail.

By the way, I've added "Focus Wallpaper" feature as well - ability to change wallpapers when being on focus mode

I'm still trying to improve it, so if anyone has ideas how focus modes on macOS can further be improved - let me know, I'm open to ideas! : )

This is the link to application: https://focusdock.eu

Show HN: Free AI Portrait Generator App – GenYOU
Hey HN!

I wanted to share GenYOU, an app we’ve been working on that turns selfies into personalized AI portraits. Just upload four photos and customize them into various styles: professional headshots or fun themes like superheroes, games, anime, etc.

Why we made this:
We built GenYOU because we wanted an affordable way for people to make portraits without needing a photo shoot. By the way, many tools out there are either too complicated or fail to preserve your unique facial features, so we also focused on that.

What makes it different:
- Your facial features stay consistent across all the generated images.
- You can tweak your portraits with prompts or choose from ready-made templates.
- A community gallery lets you find inspiration and remix ideas from others.
- No need for fancy gear. Everything happens right on your phone.

You can check it out here:
Google Play — https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.generated_...
App Store — https://apps.apple.com/us/app/genyou-ai-photo-generator/id66...

I really would love to hear what you think, HN. Feedback, questions, or ideas are all welcome!

It's a lot of "what if"s. Let's say the nuclear bomb didn't exist, where would we be now? Good arguments can be made in every direction.

I think the threat of two new nuclear superpowers shocked Europe's non-Russian powers into an uneasy cohesion and resulted in a huge reduction in European warfare that had been rattling on and off for centuries. But I could totally follow and appreciate arguments to the contrary. This is why I think it's both unfair and unproductive to "put" anything on the people of the past. They did what they did, but they're gone. IMHO, no-one was a "shitty" person solely because they felt unease over working in the Manhattan Project.

You mean, like the DoD antivax campaign [1], which Meta explicitly allowed to continue after warning DoD their campaign was obvious to them? The same Meta that constantly publishes blog posts about them taking down foreign influence campaigns? DoD already admitted, but I guess I should probably take your word that these things don’t exist? (To be fair, these things usually don’t exist (tm) until declassified decades later. I always wondered why this one was exposed and even acknowledged so soon.)

Was it really forced though? In US, it looks like society was (and still is, although results vary) on the outlook but force needs applied all the time.

Meanwhile in Sweden, although I'm no expert of it's history, it looks like government itself decided to do good for shit and giggles. And then happily stuck to it's promise for generations. I've a similar feeling about other somewhat naive countries, e.g. Germany. It was outside forces after WW2. And even for mid-19th century one could argue that uniting German lands under Prussia was a somewhat outside force from perspective of a large chunk of Germans.
