"There are very few jobs that actually pay well in America nowadays, and the ones that do tend to be congregated in few geographical areas and require extensive schooling"

There are plenty of blue collar jobs that don't require schooling and can make a comfortable living. If you are talking about a job anyone with a pulse can get? This won't ever pay well.

"I know many musicians that would upload their music on private trackers, regardless of what their label wanted or said."

All the indy artists I knew ended up having to get out of the business because they couldn't sell their music anymore (people would just download it and expect it for free) and making money from live performances are mostly controlled by large corporations.

Piracy only hurt independent artists and forced all of them with talent to sign with large labels to make a decent living.

Again, with piracy, you want no protection for the artist (and even justify why taking their music, without asking, is fine). Yet, you want the unions to collude with the government to force corporations to halt all technological advances, so workers don't lose their jobs.

Doesn't make much sense here.

Weird to see this mentioned now since I just mentioned it a few comments ago. But if you just have an old device and need a WAP 1.0 gateway you can use this: https://nbpfan.bs0dd.net/index.php?lang=eng&page=wap%2Fmain

Here's a pic of my first cellphone loading it earlier this year: https://files.catbox.moe/cmi78w.jpeg

Newer mid-2000's phones are WAP 2.0 and don't need a gateway (they also mostly support j2me, so this is the way to have a mostly usable browser with opera mini, otherwise pretty much all TLS sites but m.google.com will fail)

EDIT: I am on t-mobile and they shut down their WAP gateway ages ago with the exception of MMS.
The reason we use the words "code" and "coding" how's the history behind it. Originally it referred to translating an algorithm description into machine code. Indeed something less readable. The first compilers were called "automatic coders". I.e. their input wasn't code, their output was. Originally the word "compiling" referred to putting together an image of library functions. Something more similar to linking. The terminology shifted and drifted as time went on.

Yeah, this is a good point. Isn't it better we save too much, as tooling for filtering stuff out will always get better, rather than saving too little? The latter has no workaround (today at least).

Gun manufacturers could add pointless and customer-hostile complications to guns just like apple can add customer-hostile complications to airtags. The case against Apple is even stronger, because at least apple's complications have a chance of doing something useful, and Apple provides an ongoing service where firearm manufacturers do not.

There's also no reasonable standard by which you can claim guns are being made to murder people but AirTags are not being made to stalk people. A vanishingly small fraction of total sales ever goes towards either of these undesirable use cases.

The smart move here is to get your risk models in order and stop worrying about either of these things.
So the library was full of bugs.

(IMHO) The right thing to do would be to

- Fix the actual bugs
- Provide super visor and isolation as a protection mechanism and resiliciency.

What you've now done is to essentially just hammer it quiet while sweeping all the issues under the rug and pretend everything is great when the library is actually in ill defined state. How's that possibly any better? You're probably experiencing hard to detect bugs, occasional runtime corruptions and all the fun stuff now that you'll likely never be able to fix :)

"That kind of behavior does not help achieving high production quality and providing robust and reliable services."

It absolutely does.

When bugs are obvious and caught early they're easier to fix and this leads to higher quality more robust and reliable service.

Pretending that everything is good is never the solution.
I don't think so - convolutional neural networks also operate over 1D flat vectors - the spatial relationship of pixels is only learned from the training data.

I played pickup basketball a lot as a youth and the people who were better than me were better at fouling and getting away with it. I think that's every bit as much true of the pro game which has been dogged with refereeing scandals. It is better than professional wrestling but for many reasons I don't completely believe it such as: the "star" player grandstanding to the point where you think the other side isn't really making them work, the suppression of the full court press, etc.

(Not like my dad and I didn't love the epic rivalry the Celtics had with the Lakers in the late 1980s)

On the other hand I love going to men's or women's basketball games at my Uni where you can usually buy a general admission ticket and sit in the front row.
While I agree with your general assessment, I think your conclusion is a bit off. You’re assuming 1kw/m^2, which is only true with the sun directly overhead. A real-world solar setup gets hit with several factors of cosine (related to roof pitch, time of day, day of year, and latitude) that conspire to reduce the total output.

For example, my 50 sq m set up, at -29 deg latitude, generated your estimated 30 kwh/day output. I have panels with ~20% efficiency, suggesting that at 60% efficiency, the average household would only get to around half their energy needs with 10 sq m.

Yes, solar has the potential to drastically reduce energy costs, but even with free energy storage, individual households aren’t likely to achieve self sustainability.

> Different topic: any recommended ways to search for new music? I usually just wait to somehow stumble upon something.

https://www.nts.live/

That one is my favorite, but there are lots of similar online radio stations out there that post track-lists of the sets. I use them for music discovery and I like it a lot. I find shows by people I like, listen regularly, when I hear things that jump out at me I'll look at the track-list and make notes, go to discogs, bandcamp, find other artists on the same label that released the thing I went searching for. So semi passively listening to a dj set and taking occasional notes leads to hours of exploration and frequent discoveries.
This is the same boring alarmist argument we’ve heard since the Industrial Revolution. Humans have always turned extra output provided by technological advancement to increase overall productivity.
You can probably sell or donate those old magazines to a collector, or a kid interested in that stuff. At the very least drop them off at a thirft store instead of just dumping them.
You misunderstand the fundamentals. I've built a type-safe code generation pipeline using TypeScript that enforces compile-time and runtime safety. Everything generates from a single source of truth - structured JSON containing the business logic. The output is deterministic, inspectable, and version controlled.

Your concerns about mysterious AI code and system crashes are backwards. This approach eliminates integration bugs and maintenance issues by design. The generated TypeScript is readable, fully typed, and consistently updated across the entire stack when business logic changes.

If you're struggling with AI-generated code maintainability, that's an implementation problem, not a fundamental issue with code generation. Proper type safety and schema validation create more reliable systems, not less. This is automation making developers more productive - just like compilers and IDEs did - not replacing them.

The code works because it's built on sound software engineering principles: type safety, single source of truth, and deterministic generation. That's verifiable fact, not speculation.

Show HN: Eonfall – A new third-person co-op action game built for the web
Hi all, I'm excited to share Eonfall with Hacker News Community!

It's been 2-years in the making built by a 2 man team. Eonfall, is a new third-person co-op action game with rogue-lite elements built exclusively for the web! We've finally reached a release candidate state and set our official public release date for Jan 15th! The game's current version 5.0.0-beta is live and available to test play today!

Unity game engine was used to develop the game along with other services to handle the backend, and Nuxt 3 + Nuxt UI to handle the front-end.

We welcome any and all questions, feedback & suggestions!

Thanks all, Jon
you can control who you share your location with and for how long. I think the options are, just once, for an hour, for the day and forever.

Wow, love the story, still processing it
There isn't a "task-shaped" robot for unstructured and complex manipulation, other than high DoF arms with vision and neural nets. For example, a machine which can cook food would be best solved with two robotic arms. However, these stationary arms would be wasted if they were just idling most of the time. So, you add locomotion and dynamic balancing with legs. And now these two arms can be used in 1000 different tasks, which makes them 1000x more valuable.

So, not only is the human form the only solution for many tasks, it's also a much cheaper solution considering the idle time of task-specific robots. You would need only a single humanoid robot for all tasks, instead of buying a different machine for each task. And instead of having to design and build a new machine for each task, you'll need to just download new software for each task.

> I do not have time really to have another affairs.

That's a good point, and true of most people I expect. The wealthy have time, though. Wealth buys time. Kings, the epitome of being wealthy historically, have always had time for affairs, and are oft remembered for exactly that(!), but a growing proportion of "common folk" are becoming increasingly wealthy themselves, freeing up the necessary time among more and more people. However, wealth inequality is high, so the opportunity of time is not evenly distributed.
Some times you have strange obsessions or a strange mindset related to your technological habits. And you might easily think that it is only you that is weird, not thinking straight. If you are the only one doing something, you are probably wrong.

And then, hopefully, there are nice personal blog posts like this one, showing you that you are not alone having some peculiar habits and so that it might make sense even if most people don't even think about it.

I have the exact same feeling when I discover through hn, blog posts and events that I'm not the only one having my web browsers full of tabs. Literally having thousand of tabs.

So Apple has no way to see anything even when developing the platform itself?

They must have a way to decrypt payloads or otherwise get into the system they built and control. The fact that they let law enforcement know when someone is stalking someone with an AirTag shows that the data is available to them. It’s silly to think otherwise, paper or not.
You’re parsing the phrasing beyond any rational meaning or common sense. The person administering the survey would not ask about multiple accounts then record the value of only one. (Which one?)

The documentation you’re looking at refers to one specific data visualization. Transaction accounts are not savings accounts. Give it a rest.
This does still happen. Microsoft may nuke a git repo and someone has to figure out who has the latest version of the entire repo with all the latest commits of every branch.

Buying whatever bullshit you see on the internet to such a degree that you're re-enacting satanic panic from the 80s is not "thinking for yourself". It's being gullible about areas outside your expertise.
Basketball is also the problem, refereeing specifically. Refs are humans and make mistakes but it’s hard to watch and not feel like there’s blatant favoritism to star players or certain teams.

There are the L2M reports that detail all the mistakes they make in the end of the game and way too often they’re game altering.

Then there’s the inconsistent approach to the rules. They’ll suddenly decide they want to push a rule, call every tiny infraction on it, then 10 games later it’s like the refs collectively forgot the rule exists at all.

It all makes for an extremely frustrating experience for the players and the fans.

I don't see how that does anything but fuck over artists and allow corporations to exploit them even further.

Philosophy of mind is the branch of philosophy that attempts to account for a very difficult problem: why there are apparently two different realms of phenomena, physical and mental, that are at once tightly connected and yet as different from one another as two things can possibly be.

Broadly speaking you can think that the mental reduces to the physical (physicalism), that the physical reduces to the mental (idealism), both reduce to some other third thing (neutral monism) or that neither reduces to the other (dualism). There are many arguments for dualism but I’ve never heard a philosopher appeal to “magic spirits” in order to do so.

Here’s an overview: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/dualism/
I think this result is obvious to anyone who has spent any time in the academic world, although it is nice to see some solid numbers behind it.

The harsh truth is that key to academic career advancement is who you know much more than what you know. I every single person I knew in graduate school who got a postdoc position did so through informal means (i.e. knowing someone who knew someone), and having letters of recommendation written by the right people from the right departments at the right schools opens all sorts of doors to the academic hierarchy that would otherwise be closed.

The NBA’s problem is a combination of many things, including basketball. Here’s a sample:

- The ref’s dictate the outcomes of the games more than the players themselves do. I’m of the opinion that when there’s a significant mismatch between two teams (let’s say one team’s stars are injured, or the other team is just simply vastly superior on offense or defense), the ref’s take it upon themselves (perhaps on the league’s orders) to help “even the playing field”, which means calling fouls on one side that they won’t call on the other side, confusing and bewildering everyone including both team’s coaches, the players, the commentators, and the fans watching. This keeps the gambling system better engaged, since predictable one-sided blowouts don’t make for lots of gambling revenue.

- Most of the big name stars are constantly injured, which doesn’t help sell seats/get people to tune in.

- Personality is prohibited. This highly sanitized product is pretty lame to watch. If a player just delivers a nasty dunk and then even so much as looks at the guy they just dunked on, that’s a foul. Players can’t even trash talk each other without the ref’s making it a huge deal and giving them both fouls. That is part of the essence of highly competitive basketball. Imagine giving Michael
Jordan or 75% of the players in his era endless fouls simply for the most basic taunting. It would quickly become an unwatchable product that embarrasses all participants, and the players would retreat into their personality shells. People want to see shit talking, they want to see passion, they want to see anger/comedy. It’s exciting. It goes viral. This is not rocket science, NBA.

- region-restricted games are hilarious (awful)

- it’s overpriced

- outside of Inside the NBA with Shaq, Kenny, Chuck, and Ernie, the other show hosts are pretty devoid of personality, and they very rarely have something interesting to say, so there’s no point in watching them.

- I don’t know much about the AAU circuit, but I have heard many folks say that it hasn’t been good for the league. Am curious to learn more there

That would have provided him with plenty of starting capital, CV pedigree, as well as opportunity to discover market niches/opportunities.
