I don't share your anti-capitalist takes. You act as if everyone always knew this was a serious problem, and to some extent I think you're overstating the problem. Plastic is somewhat bad for us and the environment but it is also hugely beneficial and cost-effective. The solution to our ills is most likely to come in the form of a biodegradable polymer rather than glass bottles and metal cans.

>If consumers demanded glass, they'd charge us a premium and happily provide glass, and make a profit off our demand.

That is exactly what happens now. You can get soda and beer in glass but it costs more. Bottled wine costs more than similar boxed wine. I'm sure there is a small difference with many other products too.

>Sadly, consumers don't give a shit about the environment. If they did they would have demanded an end to disposable plastics decades ago, when it was widely known the kinds of pollution the packaging was causing. We didn't care then, we don't care now. Not enough to act, anyway.

They do care but plastic has been recycled for decades now. Perhaps it is not the most recyclable material but lots of consumers are on board with some kind of recycling system, and reuse plastic stuff in their own lives outside of commercial recycling.

>Very slowly, laws are being passed at local and state level to set deadlines to curtail or eliminate disposable products.

On this subject, paper straws are the worst and have been proven to exude toxic chemicals. To add insult to injury, you have to store them in plastic wrappers to be sure they stay dry.

Reducing the amount of plastic in use is generally a low priority for government. It's a slow problem with many solutions that don't involve banning things.

>They do it when they're afraid just fine; waiting for them to be afraid enough may be too late.

There's not an obvious "too late" for plastic. It's a slow problem. Even the seemingly huge amount of plastic out there can be picked up and handled in various ways. The bigger issue is the microplastics that are difficult to collect. The idea that you can drive up to buy a $7 drink in a plastic cup with a plastic lid, and be refused a straw that actually works, really pisses people off. There are much more important forms of pollution that could be addressed, like the artificial chemicals and pesticides in our food.

Another example of a bad policy is the ban on plastic bags. While this might make sense sometimes, every time someone forgets their bags or even runs out of bags unexpectedly during checkout, they end up buying bags anyway. The bags for sale are often restricted to the heavy reusable kind, which are made as cheap as possible for the occasion and are not attractive or durable enough to be saved indefinitely. These bags have been found to generate more waste in some cases than letting people do what they think is right. A lot of people use the ordinary thin plastic bags around the house until they fall apart anyway, and some stores collect them for recycling as well.

The entire project is open source, so sure! :D

I actually have two projects that use this approach, FeebDB (which is the library I wrote to manage a "one SQLite database per client" approach) and HackerExperience (a game under development that uses FeebDB).

The overall idea is simple:

1. Before tests start running, create a prop of each database.

2. The prop contains the "starting database" for each test. It may contain seed data (optional).

3. For each test, copy the prop and assign it a unique shard identifier (say, cp /props/user.db /test_data/user/874125.db).

4. The test knows the `shard_id` and can do whatever it wants with it; no one else will bother it.

5. Once ExUnit is finished, delete all shards.

Both projects follow a similar approach (I wrote it first in FeebDB and copied into HackerExperience, which has some sections commented out -- I need to clean up this part of the codebase).

For both projects, you will find steps 1/5 in `test/support/db.ex`, step 2 in `test/support/db/prop.ex` and steps 3/4 in `test/support/case/db.ex`.

What causes issues to Europe's car industry is not Chinese cheap EVs in Europe. There are not even many Chinese EVs driving around here, those tariffs will have very little impact.

What damaged the EU cae makers was that they had a very good market in China, and Chinese EV makers could step up and make cars that were more desirable/affordable for their domestic market. The loss of profits in China is what hurt everyone, because that country alone is a very large market.

Show HN: I built a free, real-time keyword analytics tool for Bluesky posts
I created bskykeywords.com, a free analytics tool that provides detailed insights into any keyword, hashtag, or account mention on Bluesky. Bluesky is full of interesting data, yet not many tools to analize it. The API offer is amazing too, big shout out to people at Bluesky for making this app possible to be free.

Key features:
- Real-time analysis of up to 2000 posts per search
- Sentiment analysis using AFINN-165 lexicon
- Engagement metrics and virality scoring
- Peak activity time detection
- Content type distribution (text, media, links)
- Language analysis
- Privacy-focused (uses Plausible Analytics, no cookies)

Tech stack:
- Next.js 14
- Bluesky API
- TypeScript
- Tailwind CSS
- Shadcn for UI
- Deployed on Hetzner servers using Coolify

I think knowledge should be free and accessible, so I really wanted to make something with as low bareer of entry as possible. I hope you will enjoy it.

I want to understand how people interact with each other on Bluesky. The tool analyzes everything from sentiment patterns to optimal posting times, if you have any ideas for interesting metrics I can introduce, feel free to reach out!

Feedback welcome! Happy New Year!
Ive been nerd sniped by point 158 on page 353. I cant believe I slipped through so many calc classes without understanding Leibniz's rule for taking the derivative of a definite integral. I didn't actually follow through with the calculation in Hardy's book but I bet it haunts me until I do :(.
I second this. The data should be merged upstream to OSM, and they have a fairly well documented process to add such contributions.
I like the idea, but I feel like the execution left a bit to be desired.

My gut tells me you can get much better results from the models with better prompting. The whole "You are solving the 2024 advent of code challenge." form of prompting is just adding noise with no real value. Based on my empirical experience, that likely hurts performance instead of helping.

The time limit feels arbitrary and adds nothing to the benchmark. I don't understand why you wouldn't include o1 in the list of models.

There's just a lot here that doesn't feel very scientific about this analysis...

> ensure you are only doing things they approve of

Absolutely. They might not care about individuals, though. It's their approach to shape "markets". The Apple, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft tax is not inevitable and that's their problem. They will fight toe and nail to keep you locked in, call it "innovation", and even cooperate with governments (which otherwise are their natural enemy in the fight for digital control). It's the people that a) don't care much and b) don't have any options.

In the end, a large share of our wealth is just pulled from us to these ever more ridiculous rent seeking schemes.

Since, app has selenium minimum running requirement would be 1GB RAM on any OS, and free version of any hosting do not provide that, some that provide are limited by build times or shared cpus.

So it was only logical to go through the pain/pleasure of setting up deployment on VM.

You're right in a way. The problem is that Mozilla seems unwilling to accept that that's their audience, so they keep trying to appeal to the 95%. If they would just double down on the "power user" audience they could make a killer browser. But instead they alienate those nitpicky users with pointless UI changes, breaking extensions, and so on.

Not really, no. For manufacturers it is faster to just write the drivers once for their chip, and release them targeting to an exact Linux kernel version rather than actually writing good enough code that it goes through the LKML process and gets merged into mainline. It costs money to update the drivers later on and it especially costs money to mainline them later on.

I have commits in half the projects you mentioned and I think the article is FUD. There are technically wrong points in it, such as the claim that you cannot run old Linux binaries on modern Linux. People are able to run old binaries on Linux that are 30 years old, although it requires copies of the old libraries those binaries need. If the guy actually is involved with so many projects, he would know this.

The guy even contradicted himself:

> Linux is not an operating system

> While Linux is unrivaled on servers and has been the world's most popular operating system for over two decades, the situation on the desktop is quite bleak.

Both cannot be true.
Its not a perversion!

Rape is rape.

Perverts cannot orgasm without the sexual desire being present. I am sure that all those rapist could orgasm when having sex with other people.

Perversions are like addictions. It is the drug that serves sexual gratification. Without the drug no sexual gratification.

Unlike fetishes which enhance the sense of sexual fulfillment. The fetishist can orgasm in other environments and with other people and things.

It is only the husband who qualifies as a pervert the others are just simply rapists.
I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water activated gel cleanser. Then a honey almond body scrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then apply an herb mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.
The tax wouldn't need in the nicotine though but on the devices since that's what we are disposing. How high would the tax need to be to make up for the cost of disposal? Would it be high enough to make smuggling attractive? AFAIK products in Germany (and the EU?) already have a recycling tax built-in for things like plastic packaging and it seems to work. Would this tax need to be that much higher to the point that smuggling is encouraged?
Sure it took off. There's no conceptual problem with your predictions affecting people such that your inputs change.

This is why I was careful in my post to talk about public sector models (academic, government). There are lots of private sector actors successfully modelling aspects of society and the economy: actuaries, quants, even day traders. They're all acting on the predictions of a private model in a dynamic and even adversarial environment, yet they succeed. The problems here are not on the conceptual level, they're to do with the prevalence of sub-zero intellectual standards in the public sector. Nobody forces academics to make a big fuss over models that have never been validated, or which have massive CIs, or which generate so many or such long term 'scenarios' that they're effectively unfalsifiable.

All these things are the kind of pseudo-scientific modelling practices that result in firings or bankruptcies when done in the "real world". Government subsidies keep the low standards going in the public sector. Ultimately, ending this farce requires the social studies to be defunded, as is now happening in NZ and hopefully soon in the rest of the world.

It’s still easy to setup, it’s all the commands that are different in powershell. So if you’re doing a lot of Google programming it’s not going to be easy to actually use Python if you’re running things from a command line.

That being said Microsoft know windows is terrible for software development which is why it’s so easy to use Linux inside Windows with WSL2. Since Docker Desktop for Windows requires WSL2 it’s very common for any developer AD account to have it locally as admin.
I agree with other posters that long lived non-autorotating IAM/S3 secret keys are not a good idea. A common alternate approach is presigned URLs. And not just on S3.

Google Cloud, Backblaze, Digital Ocean, Cloudflare, Azure all have this presigned URLs functionality too (I checked for the degree of lockin before I started using S3's presigned URLs in a set of bulk-data APIs at one place I've worked.)

Also, presigned URLs can be used not just for downloading files with a temporary URL but can also be created for uploading files with a temporary URL.

Well tried but factually wrong.

Thermal solar is a battle-proofed low-tech for water heating (or even residential heating) that does not require any expensive Gov subsidies or public money to be deployed at large scale.

It is currently common to find such panels in developing countries as a cheap way of providing hot showers to people without power grids. In countries where the notion of gov subsidies often does not even exist.

That has very little in common with the giant public money sink shitshow that is the German energiewende.
