I don't think it's FOSS at the moment. I actually would build two or three of these units on my own and could provide some feedback along the way. My definition of open source means that I should be able to do so.

Unfortunately, the gDrive files are not providing enough information for me to build one of these in a DIY manner. I didn't find enough information on the hardware side, no BOM, no hardware documentation. I think that, if the author would like to actually boost DIY adoption, it'd be worth having a step by step assembly guide. At the same time, when reading the page, I had a feeling like it's more supposed to be a way of advertising a future commercial product, not really focusing on the FOSS/DIY side.

The software is provided, but from my experience with such projects, it's maybe half of the minimum information needed to build a full fledged device.

I like the project and would love to build it in the near future though.
We can support projects like Autonomi [1] (the rebranded MaidSafe [2]). It should create what (I feel) the internet was always ment to be. Peer to peer communications.

I think the only solution to this is to stop the centralised mess the internet has become.

Ask HN: Do LLM errors increase likelihood of future mistakes?
Imagine you ask the same question twice to a LLM. Due to the randomness of the replies, it gives you a correct answer and a wrong answer.

If you ask an unrelated question in the same thread, isn't it more likely to give a wrong answer in the case where it already gave a wrong answer for the first question? This is because someone who gave a wrong answer once is more likely to give a wrong answer again, and LLMs mostly predict text.

If that is the case, would telling the LLM that it made a mistake make it more likely to give another wrong answer for an unrelated question, compared to not acknowledging anything? This is because it might "confirm" the idea that the role the LLM is "playing" is of someone who gives bad answers.
Hi HN,
I’m excited to share LogScope.io, a project I’m currently developing to simplify container monitoring and log analysis. The idea was born out of my own frustration with complex tools that are overkill for smaller teams or solo developers.

While the product isn’t live yet, I’ve put together a landing page with some screenshots and a high-level overview of the features I’m working on. I’d love your feedback — both positive and critical — to help refine and improve it.

What LogScope aims to do:

* Effortlessly monitor your Docker or Podman environments: View logs, diagnose issues, adjust restart policies, and explore your local registry — all in one convenient place.

* Monitor Your Containers: Get real-time insights into your Docker, Moby, and Podman containers. Track performance and status at a glance.

* Diagnose Issues: Quickly identify and troubleshoot problems with detailed logs and error reports.

* Explore Local Registry: Browse your local container registry with ease. Manage and search through images efficiently.

* Adjust Restart Policies: Easily update container restart policies to ensure optimal uptime and reliability.

I’d love feedback from the HN community on:

* The concept – Does this solve real problems for you or your team?
* The landing page and screenshots – Do they clearly communicate the value?
* Improvements – What features or ideas would make this tool more useful?
* General thoughts – Any suggestions, critiques, or feedback are welcome!

Here’s the link again: https://www.logscope.io.

Thanks in advance for checking it out and sharing your thoughts!
What about wind power which is strong in winter?

What about energy storage systems, e.g. using green gas?

There seem to be more green options than nuclear power.

Yep. Humidity will tank to 25% here in winter. I have two humidifiers fighting the HRV continuously when it gets cold. As I understand it an ERV controls moisture as well, but such a module for my system costs over $4000.
Well that's a bit snarky but there is an element of truth to it. I'm reminded of the first line of the old spec for the Scheme programming language.

"Programming languages should be designed not by piling feature on top of feature, but by removing the weaknesses and restrictions that make additional features appear necessary."

You could say the same about anything, let's pick cars.

"There are people driving cars to commit crimes, like bank robbery!"

Oh no! Now all cars and their drivers are criminals, I suppose? Grandma driving to the grocery store surely is up to no good?

I think the claim being attempted is that crypto is mostly used for crime. Yet is that true? How many transactions happened yesterday? And how many were nefarious?
When infrastructure is privatized, they become for-profit enterprises. Things like energy and clean water should not be for-profit.
I am sure that was it. Now, to find an emulator online :)
> Americans are extremely generous

A country with one of the highest income inequalities in the western world!

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

Being generous is voting for healthcare and social welfare programmes for all, regardless of income.

Also, the charitable giving figures you quote are skewed as the US offers tax breaks to donate to "charities" which can be financially beneficial to the giver (charity oversight in the USA is notoriously lax).

> Not to mention soft generosity like tipping culture.

Don't take the piss!
It is not the most likely setting to give rise to the data observed (that is the posterior), is the setting in which the data observed is the most likely.
As others have commented on, it's not enough to just lay new cables and the lack of nuclear energy (or hydro or coal...) in the south is why the energy from the north can't reach the south.

Blip – Weekly crypto price predictions made easy
Hello everyone,

I’m here to share with you something I’m really excited about. I’d like to introduce you all to Blip, a project me and my co-founder have been working on to make crypto price predictions simple and accessible for everyone.

Navigating the world of crypto can feel overwhelming. With its volatility, endless data, and constant news cycles, understanding the market is no easy task. That’s why we created Blip, a web app to help bridge this gap. Blip’s mission is clear: simplify access to crypto price predictions and empower everyone, from beginners to seasoned traders, to make more informed decisions with confidence and clarity.

How does Blip work (in a nutshell)?

Blip uses advanced AI algorithms to analyze over 50 technical and macroeconomic indicators, combined with real-time news. Here’s what goes into our models:
1. Market data: Moving averages, MACDs, RSIs, Bollinger Bands, OBVs, DMIs, coin volumes, Fear and Greed Index, and dominance trends among many others.
2. Economic indicators: Currency exchange rates, inflation, interest rates, unemployment, US dollar strength, and benchmarks like the S&P 500 and DJIA.
3. News sentiment: Our algorithms scan and analyze news articles to account for market-moving events and trends.

These factors are combined into a prediction model that provides price forecasts for top coins (right now we support BTC, ETH, SOL, LINK, and XRP, but more will follow) at the start of each week, covering the current and next week. Updated daily, Blip keeps its predictions relevant and accurate, adapting to market changes in real-time.

What Blip offers

Blip doesn’t allow you to execute trades. Instead, it provides actionable information in the form of a price prediction that you can use however you see fit. But we won’t hide the fact that our algorithms have a proven track record of consistently outperforming the buy-and-hold strategy for every coin we support. You can see the differences by visiting our Simulator page. Additionally, Blip also serves as a news hub, offering a curated feed of all the news and articles we scrape, complete with summaries and impact scores to help you understand their relevance to the market.

Try Blip today

Visit blip.finance to see how it works. It’s free for now and we intend to keep it like that for a while. Our focus is to make sure we’re building something useful for the crypto community. That’s why we’d love to hear what you think. Your feedback is essential to help us improve and make Blip even better (there is a feedback form available after you log in). Give it a try and let us know how we can help simplify your crypto journey.

I’m thrilled to share the news about Blip with you, and I’m here to answer any questions you might have.

Thank you!
you are hoping wrong then, tiktok block will only exacerbates this.

Java 24 to Strengthen Security with Quantum-Resistant Algorithms
I went to school 20+ years ago in a school of 3000+ kids in the UK. There simply never were room changes for us. I don't get why you'd make the kids change rooms. Just set the timetable for the year, now the kids are going to be in those rooms at those times. Simple. Any changes, just make the teachers deal with it. In a system where the children outnumber the teachers ~30:1 and have smaller brains and smaller bodies this seems to make more sense to me.

As for cancelled lessons, I wish! That never happened. We had a substitute teacher every time. But the substitute came to the room we were already scheduled to be in.

The only reasons I can think for making the kids change is if there's a problem with the room itself or if the teachers are not interchangeable between rooms. But I would have thought teachers would find room changes easier now than back then, if anything (given the use of ubiquitous technology like projectors etc.).

This line has no basis in logic actually.
I mean you don't have to look far, it was just two years ago that React 18 was released, where the way detached nodes are handled changed. That broke integrations with pretty much every legacy plugin that needed to do that, and you had to wrap it specifically for React. If you live fully immersed in the React ecosystem, then maybe it wasn't a problem, but for a lot of projects, it was a very painful upgrade. The change itself wasn't large code wise, but the fact that if you wanted to upgrade React for some reason, you also had to go touch and test all these old pieces of code, really did not do anyone any favors.
I believe we should all laud and support the admirable efforts of the new dillo developer/caretaker, Rodrigo Arias Mallo:

* Adopting a project others have abandoned

* Bringing a dysfunctional app it back to life

* Taking on the responsibility of maintenance

* And even doing the surrounding work of website setup, blogging, pushing it into the news etc.

... now that is the mark an upstanding hacker and a pillar of the community! :-)

Additionally, it's important to have alternative lightweight browsers, with different architecture and sets-of-dependencies.

So, consider chipping in and supporting the work monetarily as well:

it can be a larger or smaller donation; and even though it's supposedly recurring, you choose whether the renewal is automatic or manual, so you can decide whether to give once or repeatedly.

(And just to clarify - I have no association with the project or Mr. Mallo)
As long as north-south capacity is reasonable compared to south-Germany. So it would increase prices somewhat in north, but as long as not all new capacity can be moved to Germany it wouldn't fully match prices.

The real answer is that it depends on what the Supreme Court says.

There's a valid legal argument to be made here either way; that the government has some amount of leeway to censor foreign propaganda, or that the first amendment prevents it from doing so at all.

We'll really just have to wait and see how they rule on it, because the issue will definitely make its way there at some point in the near future.

It's also likely that the verdict won't have a neat and tidy partisan breakdown, so the final result will be hard to predict.

I think that's a problem everywhere in Europe. We build wind and we build solar, but we don't build storage systems to go with them.
I’d argue FB getting egg on its face has done nothing. Bytedance has also made changes to how data is stored and shared as well, which may or may not be meaningful. It seems to me that it’s ok for US agencies to exploit and data mine the crap of US citizens, but if it’s another country doing it then we go “wait not like that”.

Either way, China will get the data through whatever data broker the predominant US social media company is. And if it pushes hard in one direction, then people will sour and leave the platform, look at Twitter.

It’s very evident that this is a power play by the media empire to squash competition, now that Musk is in cabinet and Zuck is more than happy to grease Trumps hand.
I so need this, and I so need it to function with Home Assistant.
I would love to ventilate based on values of my Aranet 4 (a bluetooth CO2 sensor).
Also, would be nice if it coordinates with multiple units, ie what this brand does: [0]

EDIT: It does, if you click on "learn more", you'll learn more: "The OpenERV TW4 modules are made to always work in pairs. One always sucks air while the other blows air, synchronized over WiFi. This should be done, or hot air would be pushed out from the building through the walls during the ingress phase, causing heat loss." ...Perfect!

Currently I have two holes in my wall for ventilation, when it is windy it's too much (feel the wind blowing inside), when some people visit and there is no wind, boom, >3000 ppm CO2 in 20 minutes.

I just really hope it is very quiet, although it says ~37 dBa (which is quite a lot imho), I replaced my bathroom ventilator recently, it produces 25 db! [1]). The previous one [2] produced 52 dB (cheapest around), that was pretty annoying, you'd hear it in the bedrooms above the room it was used in. Maybe 37 dB it isn't so bad, especially since you can wind it down and mostly need it when it's busy/noisy (many people) anyway.

Btw, don't buy a CO2 sensor, pretty soon you're a ventilation nerd, or as my wife would call it, a ventilation curmudgeon.

My problem with all of these sorts of things is the idea of who determines “harmful.” Because that’s a term of such ambiguity that it could literally mean anything.

“Covid came from a Chinese lab” — “harmful because it causes ‘racism’”

“Pakistani grooming gangs in Rotherham are targeting young British girls” — harmful because it could promote social unrest.

“Eating meat can improve metabolic health” — harmful because it promotes behaviors that contribute heavily to climate change.

“Young motorcycle racers should be allowed to train on big tracks before the age of 16” — harmful because it promotes a ‘dangerous’ sport to kids.

I could go on and you could replace whatever I said to whatever you want to say and depending on who is the arbiter of “harmful,” that speech could be regulated in a way that creates criminals out of simply stating facts or opinions.

If the lead up to WW2 were today, if these regulations existed, then suggesting that a Germans in the U.K. were a national security risk could get you in trouble for “promoting harmful stereotypes about German people.”

In my mind, if we are to regulate speech at all, it should have a very very strict standard as to what speech is demonstrably harmful rather than politically uncomfortable. I’m not an Alex Jones fan at all, but for example, nobody died from anything he said, people have been offended and perhaps disgusted, but the ramblings of a conspiracy theorist aren’t causing anyone actual harm. In the US, we have libel and slander laws, we also have laws against speech that cause an imminent threat of danger — but we should never have laws that protect people from being offended, or even misinformed. We have websites supporting Chinese Traditional Medicine despite some practices in that field being demonstrably harmful and contrary to modern medical science — should those be banned? I would think most people would say not.

This online “safety” regulation is really a regulation to regulate political speech under the guise of “protecting the children.”
so, you are telling me that democracy doesn't mean anything nowadays. you don't want to be better than china.
As a fan of Julia, surprised to see how julialang/julia has so few links. It's a niche language; how isolated it is on this map is maybe not so unrepresentative of the user or developer experience.
The Greens had partnered with the SPD from 1998 to 2005 (and then again recently since 2021 but that's no related to the subject). They directly contributed to creating the Energiewende program. Merkel & friends implemented it, but saying the greens just "indicated preference" is utter bullshit. It's also the greens today trying to exclude any nuclear project from benefiting from grants at the European level.

The Greens do not get to have their cake and eat it when they are, in fact, directly one of the sources of the current german problem. Those 232g CO2/kWH as I write (and over 700 last week) is exactly what they asked for when they pushed for a full renewable energy grid backed by hopes and dreams.

Well

This looks like a good way to get popular and political support to "expand authorities" in the interest of national security.

Coordinate to launch a 'classified' training or research operation that is sure to get some eyeballs and prompt some conspiracy theories. And refuse to confirm or deny it is a planned/authorized exercise, prompting some form of hysteria.

Then casually remark on record that your authorities are limited.
My point was that ‘no known safe level’ is not the same as ‘no safe level’. And it is not known because it is both hard to detect negative impact of small doses and because no one would spend money on such work when there are many more important problems.
The example only seems ridiculous because you've deliberately excluded relevant knowledge about the world from the model. Add a prior to the model and you'll have a much more reasonable function to maximise.

It is unreasonable to expect any meaningful discussion not just with Ivans of this world but basically everyone else, when you make only baseless claims influenced by propaganda and generally do not fit in format of this forum.

Please fact-check your first paragraph for the start.
> So we moved from "reasoning" to "complex reasoning".

Only from the perspective of those still complaining about the use of the term "reasoning", who now find themselves left behind as the world has moved on.

For everyone else, the phrasing change perfectly fits the technological change.
> it would "not directly prohibit the continued use of TikTok" by Apple or Google users who have already downloaded TikTok. But it conceded the prohibitions on providing support "will eventually be to render the application unworkable."

I have a technical question with regards to this.

Typically, censorship* investigation efforts (from academia or elsewhere, such as OONI, Apernet etc.) have tended to focus on non-American countries to map their firewalling infrastructure used to this end.

Since the US was never brought up in these investigations, as an outsider, I got the distinct impression that TLS packets were never interfered with, and the US mostly relied on either seizing the domain and its associated resources (such as in the various piracy cases, the raidforums/breachforums investigation etc.)

Does this mean that a second-order effect of this directive would be asking the ISPs to block requests based on SNI, and in that case would it be a first in the US?

* For the purposes of this discussion, let us step aside the discussion about "censorship" and simply use that term to mean any kind of network filtering used by ISPs.
I think that summer/winter distinction is really important. In the UK where most houses don't have air conditioning, you really don't want heat recovery for 1/3 of the year. On really hot days you might want to use heat recovery during the peak few hours, but otherwise you are trying to cool the house down with colder outside air.

I would love some sort of intelligent house ventilation system which could do all that. Heat recovery when it makes sense, normal ventilation when it doesn't. All automated based on dT and relative humidities.

This type of "hurr more money good" thinking is exactly the reason why there's a massive energy crisis across Europe, where individuals and enterprises end up paying gigantic electricity bills. People are _dying_ from this situation. Energy is not a random market like any others where number goes up means everything is good. _Lives_ depend on it.
No. The "largest prime" announcements generally refer to a Mersenne prime, which is one that is one less than a power of two. There is a faster primality test for such numbers.
Ah yes, the kids dilemma.

To be honest I might’ve wished for a few sharks to show up during my kids swims on our Croatia trips, or at least something with a bit of bite… only to give them the spark that their Australian genes hadn’t quite ignited, to be sure.

Indonesia and the western pacific in general doesn’t get enough fear, imho. Those sea snakes man…
No - it's common to try to find large Mersenne Primes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne_prime) which are primes that are one less than a power of 2. This will miss out a lot of non-Mersenne primes.
I don’t think that’s quite right. VGA and 256 colour came in in 1987, and like you say the rate of change was so fast that EGA was basically obsolete by 1990, 92 at the latest.
