Despite it being an advertisement of something I've done -- in the Show HN sense -- there are many features which distinguish it from other existing resources. For instance:

- Highlighting the Kangxi radical really helps with visually breaking apart the components of each character, and often serves as a hint for the meaning

- Include the meanings for the kun'yomi readings trailed by okurigana, most often verbs and adjectives, which can be easily conjugated according to included cheatsheet

- Always try to use compound examples which only use Kanji seen before according to the order (and, within the same JLPT level, we also topologically sort the Kanji s.t. components appear before Kanji they are part of)

- An etymological classification which hints towards the origin of the character, and, in the digital version, includes a link to the corresponding wiktionary page which often has an explanation. Broadly:

* Pictographic, a Kanji whose origins lay in "drawings"

* (Compound) Ideographic, where the Kanji represents an idea or forms a new idea resulting from the meanings of its components

* Phonetic, where one component (typically the radical) gives a semantic to the character, and another component gives the phonetic family of the character. Essentially the semantic comes broadly from the semantic component and then multiplexes on the component which provides the sound...

On white rabbit specifically:

- We do the traditional flashcard style, where no information at all is given from the back

- We include card markers for physical spaced repetition ala Leitner Box style

- Afer going through the physical cards, eventually up to N3, students have access to the full digital Anki deck to continue studying through all the Joyo with a better scheduler (Anki's FSRS).

Of course, that's where we stand on the design space. A key differing point is mnemonics, which are very common in these resources, but that we purposefully do not use (in fact, this deck was first born out of the frustration with existing mnemonic-based resources, as they typically are disconnected from any real etymological reason, or from the character at hand).
Condolences on your loss, Aaron & family. Few of us will ever write software with as much impact as QModem, I hope that your father found satisfaction in that reach.
If it is within cooee of state of the art the compressed text should look like a pile of random bits.

If it looks like anything at all other than randomness then you can describe whatever it is that it looks like to get more compression.
They kinda have to, now that Trump has set his sights on Greenland they know they will be next. And alone they can't fight off the US.

Joking aside, I (as EU citizen) personally don't really care whether they join the EU or not. They're a bit too much out of the way, too small etc. And EFTA already covers a lot of it. But if they want to join it'd be nice.

If they join they should do it forever though and not change their mind again when another conservative government comes to power. I'm really sick of Britain with all their fussy wheeling and dealing around the Brexit era (and taking attention away from real issues). That can't happen again. For three years Brexit was in the news every day with them asking for stuff they knew was impossible and acting offended when they didn't get it. I'm really glad that's over but if Iceland is so divided on this issue the same could happen again.

>TSA isn't great on their false positive rate, does more intense screening, and isn't being staffed by hungover 20-somethings. So maybe the false negative rate didn't actually increase by much?

TSA is abysmal on the false negative rate for things that actually matter. The FNR for actual weapons and explosives is somewhere between 80 and 95%[1]. It's because they waste all of their attention looking for nail clippers and water bottles.

Even an FNR of 50% would be a massive improvement.

That's an absurdly low success rate, and I see similar numbers echoed by many people who use them, regardless of the site's importance to their life or apparent technical ability. (my own dabbling has an even worse success rate, though I've somehow managed to dodge multiple complete-passkey-data-loss issues in clients)

And for some reason it doesn't seem to be getting much more consistently working either.

Neither the article nor official link gave much optical design detail. Here's my guess. A (substantially) radially symmetric system comprising a wide-angle positive-short-focal-length first lens followed closely by a negative-short-focal-length whose diameter is small (thus covering a small range of angles, in the center field of view, from the first lens). A single central sensor behind the negative element is for telephoto images, while a collection of sensors distributed radially around the first lens and off axis capture wide angle images.

Imagine a low-index ball lens in contact with a thin high-index negative lens. That's the idea. I'm sure the real design uses multiple surfaces/elements for each lens, and I'm sure it's hyper-optimized. I'm interested to learn how close my guess is to reality.

Apologies for the complex wording to describe geometry.

Yes, insurers adds new costs, but they also check other costs.

Every health systems has and needs some mechanism to deny potentially lifesaving treatment.

My point is that even when you abolish private insurance, you still have someone in the hot seat saying who dies because that care is too expensive.
Can you elaborate? I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding of the value of precedent is to have courts rule on matters in a manner that is consistent with past rulings. Are you suggesting that courts can interpret the law completely differently from how past courts have ruled? Do you feel like that makes court decisions unpredictable?

To be clear, the law changes over time, so newer laws have less precedence, and I expect courts to respect new laws even though no courts have made ruling based on such a law before.

The crazy thing about Columbus (well, one of many) is that Spain explicitly forbade him to take slaves in the Caribbean, they wanted the natives Christianized and the land colonized. Columbus just did it anyway, and shipped over boatloads of slaves they didn't even want.

iPhones can do this. They support taking photos simultaneously from the two or three cameras on the back; the cameras are hardware-synchronized and automatically match their settings to provide similar outputs. The catch is you need a third-party app to access it, and you'll end up with two or three separate photos per shot which you'll have to manage yourself. You also won't get manual controls over white balance, focus, or ISO, and you can't shoot in RAW or ProRAW.

There are probably a good number of camera apps that support this mode; two I know of are ProCam 8 and Camera M.
> I'm still baffled why local and state govts aren't easing into a public option.

That's easy enough to answer: lobbying efforts by major insurance companies (and insurance company adjacent companies) prevented it. In many states such lobbying efforts prevented it entirely in the legislature adding direct laws and some state constitutional amendments that states explicitly weren't allowed to build a public option as a part of their healthcare exchanges. It was a big part of the uproar when the ACA was passed at the federal level, a big part of why many states' healthcare exchanges were sabotaged and broken on Day One, and a large part of why the ACA itself made too many compromises in how it established the state-driven healthcare exchanges.
You're cherry picking a single vaccine and failing to understand how the "D" part of R&D works. The vast majority of drug development expense comes from large scale phase-3 human clinical trials. Those now cost ~$1B each (necessary to establish safety and effectiveness) and many fail. Outside of rare circumstances like a global pandemic there is little political appetite anywhere in the world for widespread public funding of phase-3 trials. It's just never going to happen, and even if it did there's no evidence that government bureaucrats would make good decisions about which trials to fund.
I work for an EU-based consulting company (a la Thoughtworks in the EU), and am personally based in the US. My two cents is that the European leadership is fairly ignorant of modern technology and software practices. The instead choose to loft remedial "wins" as a sign that our company is on the cutting-edge of web 3.0, which has been laughed away as irrelevant in America. The newest fad at my company is to wrap AI agents in some fancy UX and claim that we're now an AI company. The head of technology holds a design degree and 0 years of experience doing any sort of engineering or software development, and consistently demonstrates an inability to distinguish fad from reality in software. Apparently, he was "short-listed" for some sort of EU tech leader of the year award, which makes me question what sort of talent even exists over there when someone like that can be considered for an award. Personally, I'm with Seinfeld in thinking that "all awards are stupid", but that's besides the point.

I'm actively trying to start something up and get out of corporate servitude for good. I am lucky to live in America, based on my experience with European tech leadership and the comments here. I'm also consistently shocked by the lack of technical expertise that my developer counterparts in the EU exhibit. Most of them demonstrate the depth of knowledge that a couple Coursera Python courses and about 40 hours of YouTube dev-fluencer videos would instill, despite them having several years of experience as a "senior software developer". It's a bit embarrassing, to say the least.
If you want the real mind-trip, try to think about how little we know about detecting "life" that is not based on nucleic acids.

> You could make an argument they are "viroid-like" and there's a deeper evolutionary connection between viroids/viruses/plasmids, but the information theory to formally establish such a connection is not sufficiently developed.

The way it is phrased, insufficiently developed information theory is rather surprising. Did you mean to write that not enough genome data has been collected to formally establish a link, or are you actually stating that we have all the data but as a species have not sufficiently developed the mathematical subdiscipline of probability, information theory ?

I could follow the first, but the latter?

EDIT: I now believe you meant neither but more something along the lines of: we probably have plenty of data, and usual information theory should suffice, but we simply havent exhaustively applied the tools to collate the information and make the implicitly available data more explicitly manifest.

I also wonder why use NTSC for outputting video. VGA is easy enough to bitbang and pretty ubiquitous. HDMI is probably more available at this point, but has unfriendly licensing issues. DisplayPort seems better in all aspects, but it’s the least user friendly and requires a monitor rather than a small TV.

I’m assuming that. The C64 palette is a good indication.

Amazing post. Thank you, I learnt some here.
How is this not moving more responsability and work onto consumers rather than tackling the problem at the root.

Coca-cola had a 2.7B EBTDA last quarter. Marketing needs to stop blowing smoke up people's rears.

If they care about the environment, they can just use glass! Install mega watts of renewables to provide the power for glass recycling. Zero plastic in the environment.

Companies need to stop externalizing their costs into environmental problems and telling people it's their problem for buying it.
Theme parks are switching to these too and it's oh so much nicer to just walk through and if you're unlucky having your bag searched.

This extrapolation is based on "money is a claim on energy", which assumes some kind of linear, or linear-like relationship between energy and wellbeing.

Just because a relationship is linear-ish up to a point doesn't mean it always will be.

The system is trapped in a what-is-measured-is-what-is-managed loop, where we worship "growth" without understanding what it's for.

These can all be true without contradicting one other:

- Many people on the planet can't access as much energy as they need to achieve optimum happiness and wellbeing. Making more energy available to them would alleviate suffering.

- Providing enough for all 9Bn to reach their optimum without destroying the environment will be extremely difficult. There aren't enough critical minerals available with current tech for everyone to live a high-energy electric dream.

- Some have vastly more energy than they need, and depleting resources to make them richer won't make them, or anyone else, happier. There is a diminishing returns effect beyond a certain point, where a massive increase in consumption only produces a small net gain.

- Nevertheless, the super-rich do not have so much that we could redistribute it all and the poor would also have enough. Liquidate the rich, give it all away and the poor will be.. slightly less poor.

- The relationship between energy and wellbeing is not fixed or linear, and may indeed come down with time. For example, if you have an effective and energy-efficient information system, people don't need to expend as much to live a good life (you don't need to go halfway around the world to find the girl or the job, if it turns out there was a good one in the next town or city over, but if your information systems suck you'll never know). Same for matching buyers to sellers and so on.

$2Bn accrued to the balance sheet of Elon Musk counts the same in global GDP as $2Bn accrued to the balance sheet of Ghana. I don't need to tell you which one will do more for humanity.
I'm really not convinced by passkeys as a socio-technical phenomenon because it seems to lock people to their OS. As a technical user, having them in 1Password which is OS-neutral (and plans to support export eventually - I'll change my mind on passkeys if this never comes), they're great.

What mechanism would make it possible to enforce non-paywalled, non-authenticated access to public web pages? This is a classic "problem of the commons" type of issue.

The AI companies are signing deals with large media and publishing companies to get access to data without the threat of legal action. But nobody is going to voluntarily make deals with millions of personal blogs, vintage car forums, local book clubs, etc. and setup a micro payment system.

Any attempt to force some kind of micro payment or "prove you are not a robot" system will add a lot of friction for actual users and will be easily circumvented. If you are LinkedIn and you can devote a large portion of your R&D budget on this, you can maybe get it to work. But if you're running a blog on stamp collecting, you probably will not.
