+1 on this. Kids, don't rely on log to remote inside the application.

You get a growing combination of N apps x M log servers to support and link into the application. Even if you only use one of them yourself. Ops should be able to change to a new logging backend without rebuilding every application.

Bugs in the log shipper has the possibility to take down your app, you never want this. Also think about the unnecessary security surface this adds, especially when multiplied by M above. (log4j anyone?)

When the log server is unavailable or saturated you still want those file or console logs available for last resort debugging.

Shutting down the app risks loosing last minute of unshipped logs, unless you require slow graceful shutdowns, which is never a good idea. Think about crashes, where you need logs the most.

Use sidecar and similar strategies instead. You are most likely also running some third party application elsewhere, where you don't have the option to rebuild with a new logger, so you need this type of knowledge anyway.

If I recall correctly this is because someone found an infinite money glitch and used a credit card that had a big cash back. So he would buy the bills then deposit into his bank account and pay of his credit cards. So now they increased the price to more than the face value.
I know this is really unlikely to help, but let me throw a few ideas at you and see if any might help.

1> GNU Radio is a way to take flow graphs build in a GUI tool which then get translated into a python program that runs the graphs using a lot of C/C++ libraries to get real time performance at megasamples/second, on really, really cheap hardware. Perhaps there are some applications where it could help?

2> Bit Level Systolic Arrays might be useful for flowing data at high speed (yeah, it's my BitGrid hobby horse)... Instead of a CPU in each cell, it's just a 4x4 bit Look Up Table, and a 4 bit latch (to eliminate timing issues, and make everything flow deterministically).
This isn't a particularly accurate framing. I think your question is more why haven't "Humanoid" consumer robots taken off.

Because humanoids aren't a great form factor for robotics.

Robot vacuums, washing machines, dishwashers, "self" driving cars...these are all consumer robotics and are quite popular.
A running system won't really help me since I'm sure it will give the right answer. I need to know what's happening internally, which remains hidden in a running processor.
I only wish they sold something practical like non-commemorative quarter rolls, even at a slight upcharge... banks are cracking down on who they allow to redeem cash for equivalently-valued quarter rolls.
If your budget is $2.50 per day for food then you are probably looking for much cheaper options for a refrigerator. I understand it's possible to buy small chest freezers and convert them to run at fridge temperatures and they're very efficient that way.
When you subscribe to the 'firehose feed' (https://hnrss.org/newest?link=comments) you get to see a fair amount of those; most are outright spam. There's even a degree harsher than what you see at the linked article here, namely a page that's blank except for the orange bar at the top. I get to see those every day; just a few minutes ago I got this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42607034 which was advertised in the RSS feed as "When Did Trolling Become Inextricably Linked with Pedophilia?"; from a quick scroll down the linked site (yes, you get to see all the original URLs as posted in the RSS, flagged or not) I'd say it's an unappetizing piece of writing that regurgitates recent right-wing talking points, a lot of made-up stuff, so Good Riddance in this case.
Yes the fact that you don't use your country's tld is a uniquely USA thing. I lived in Italy, UK, Australia, Brazil, Thailand and Indonesia, in all those places the national tld (e.g. ".it" in Italy) is the most commonly used. Even American services usually have a localised version with that tld, e.g. google.it; Some American email providers offer local tlds as well, e.g. I used to have [username]@hotmail.it

Nobody’s happy with dark energy, it’s just the only framework we have that fits the data. All the other ideas might be brilliant and inspired but are measurably worse at describing the real world.

Even the name “dark energy” is a tacit acknowledgment that—along with dark matter—we have no clue what the underlying physics actually is.

Yes, I wasn't sure about the exact legal code around it, hence I said "it doesn't have to be accepted" and provided a potential explanation that the counterparty can present.

In the cited Section 31 U.S.C. 5103 it says:

> Federal Reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal Reserve Banks and national banks

What would be the legal definition of a note sheet? Is it a note or not? A collection of bank notes? The bank notes have pretty specific definitions down to the specific measurements up to a certain precision. Would a music note sheet fall under this definition as well? I don't see what the US mint sells as a legal tender given the strict definition of bank notes themselves.
That was with the dollar coins

> But I would dread having to try and recover a Passkey with Google, who would I even talk to

same as trying to recover a password: You go through the account recovery workflow.

My opinion on passkey is that they are a wonderful tool to speed up the authentication process with sites in some cases (which turns out to be most cases). Rather than typing your password (hopefully on the correct site...) and then sometimes confirming with a magic link or a 2FA code, all you do is use your platform native's authentication conformation method (face recognition, fingerprint, PIN code, whatever) and you're done. This works independently of which site you're on.

Just as with password managers: If you use the OS built-in solution, you're locked into a specific platform (though I admit that with passwords it's at least possible to move them manually, albeit super painful if the passwords are secure), so if you're using multiple platforms concurrently use a password manager that supports all your platforms - most if not all password managers these days support passkeys.

For all breakages related to passkeys, the same applies as with passwords: You use the account recovery flow (which often is the weakest link on any site).

As such, passkeys feel like a wonderful shortcut with even slightly improved security (you can't present a passkey to the wrong site) in the default case.
I just use Craigslist. Yeah, that greatly limits the pool, but eBay is scummy and so is FB.

Oh there definitely is some MIDI device out there that will get a buffer overrun from a particular set of just regular note inputs. Maybe 11 notes at once due to the programmer thinking "humans have only 10 fingers, a static array of 10 elements is enough to hold all notes currently playing".

Four causes for 'Zoom fatigue' (2021)
Yes, I'm being a bit facetious. I agree with you: there shouldn't be a hard rule of "no obstacles within 300m of the runway, and the Muan airport authorities were negligent in having one".

If they'd shortened the "runway" by 300m (let's say the unused space was still tarmacked and empty, but not designated as a runway, although I understand there are better materials for arresting overruns) would all those people still have died and would people still be blaming the airport layout?

Perhaps the pilot would have made a different decision if the runway was advertised as 2500m instead of 2800m, but that also suggests people are looking at the wrong thing, and pilots looking for emergency landings should consider not only the runway length but also any buffer available.
The wall is a red herring 2. why was a commercial airliner attempting a no-gear belly landing with full fuel load on a runway that's only 2,800m, rather than divert to Incheon?
>If you live in North America, there's a good chance your oats came from Canada, where farmers figured out they could spray Roundup right before harvest so heavily that it desiccates the oats on the plant. They harvest, and the dried oats last longer in storage. It's literally soaked in Roundup. You couldn't pay me to eat anything containing oats that isn't certified organic.

This is depressing considering they're still much more expensive than rice and even more expensive than wheat.
Curious if you can intersperse the Bad Apple commands with MIDI music so it plays the audio itself ;)
You make a really good point about solo freelancers often managing just a few clients and not needing a complex invoicing system. It’s something I’ve heard echoed by others as well. Targeting designers or freelancers with a high volume of clients makes sense and is something I've had in the back of my mind.

Having these discussions in a more designer-oriented forum would be very beneficial.

And yes, the founder of Designjoy is an absolute legend! It’s incredible how he’s scaled his business as a one-person powerhouse. (I've even considered a development approach to this as well).

As for the subscription model, I completely agree with you; it’s a tricky decision for many startups. I’ve decided to steer clear of a completely free plan as well. Instead, I’m focusing on offering a short free trial to help users see the benefits before committing. I genuinely believe the platform adds real value and holds up against some of the more established companies, so a free plan isn’t on my radar.

Out of curiosity, are there other pain points that you've had in the past with invoicing, even with a lower number of clients?

Where are you getting that? Turing's most famous paper is just as Ukv describes. The link on that site doesn't work for me, but the reference is buried in their source:

https://courses.cs.umbc.edu/471/papers/turing.pdf

In Turing's test, the forced binary choice means P(human-judged-human) + P(machine-judged-human) is necessarily equal to 100%. This gives the 50% threshold clear intuitive and mathematical significance.

In the bastardized test that GPT-4 "passed", that sum can be (and actually was) >100%. This makes the result practically impossible to interpret, since it depends on the interrogators' prior. The correct prior seems to be that it was human with p = 25%, though the paper doesn't say that explicitly, or say anything about what the interrogators were told. If the interrogators guessed mistakenly that it was 50% then that would lead them to systematically misjudge machines as humans, perhaps as observed.

The bastardized test is pretty bad, but treating the 50% threshold as meaningful there is inexcusable. I see the preprint hasn't yet passed peer review, and I'll regain some faith in social science professors if it never does. Of course the credulous media coverage is everywhere already, including the LLM training sets--so regardless of whether LLMs can pass the Turing test, they now believe they do.
To clarify... the ET4000H was the same ET4000ax that was supported by Windows 3.0 and 3.1 already, but with the HiDAC (15/16bit truecolour) fitted instead of the 256 colour DAC. My recollection is fuzzy, but ISTR that it worked with the default driver in 16 colour mode, but not 256 or better, resolution selection may have been limited too.

MS claims that the driver that supported HiDAC came out the 3rd week of April 1992, which would have been 1-2 weeks after the time period I'm remembering, so it sounds about right.

Ask HN: I Need Help
I have been putting off doing this for some time primarily due to embarrassment and going against the ethos of this platform, but I have no other recourse.

Due to multiple setbacks in my life, a substandard accountant for my consultancy not notifying me about taxation changes (India), I've racked up ~$45k worth of fees that I've been paying to the Income Tax Department for the past 5 months, a kitten who was diagnosed with FPV with massive vet bills I'm in a state where I can't even buy food.

To make things clear, I am not looking for a handout, all I am looking for is someone to give me any sort of work, I've got ~12 years of experience building on the web, Typescript, golang, Svelte, React, and have worked with nearly every JS framework + some experience with Laravel and Phoenix LiveView. I have applied for jobs, but those processes are taking weeks, and I simply don't have that sort of breathing room left.

Additionally, you don't have to pay me until I complete all deliverables, and you're satisfied with what I've built. I have 5-6 days before rent day, and I'll appreciate anything you can throw my way.

To the moderators of HN, apologies for this post and thank you to anyone who reads this.

Ask HN: How did you meet your significant other

It really depends on where you live in the US. A lot of people live in areas where there are very few competitors in the grocery business so they can charge obscene amounts of money; especially anywhere rural. On top of that, the major grocery stores like Safeway, Albertson’s, and Kroger try to keep their stock consistent year round instead of going more seasonal, which massively inflates the price of fresh food.

I live in Southern California in a high cost of living area but the produce and meat is very cheap at ethnic stores like Ranch 99 and SuperKing that actually compete on price. These kinds of stores are only present in areas with dense immigrant populations. Even in urban areas so many people default to shopping at Whole Foods or Trader Joes that it’s easy to get a distorted view of prices. Much of it is that Americans ostensibly choose to pay more for convenience and availability.

As an example, the Halal grocery that I usually buy my meat from has ribeye steaks for $5-8/lb while Costco - normally considered cheaper than most other stores (in bulk) - has them for $20-25/lb. Now the former isn’t as high quality as prime Costco steaks so I still buy the latter for special occasions, but for day to day food it’s a much better deal. A little smart shopping goes a very long way.

If I recall correctly Imgur was initially the de-facto image host for Reddit, if you wanted to post an image on Reddit, you had to post it on Imgur and share the link. It had a great interface for that, super easy, and you could get links that go straight to the image, no in-between bullshit.

I'm not sure how they made money though. And I think there was some drama between Imgur and Reddit, with Reddit going off doing their own thing in terms of image hosting. I think they went as far as breaking Imgur links in Reddit as well?

This left Imgur in the lurch a bit, scrambling to find a reason to exist. It's like asking the pass-the-butter-robot from Rick&Morty to find something else to justify it's existence with. They just tried to become another social media site a-la 9gag et al and the weird part for me is there are people that actually use it non ironically.

Russia has shown no issue settling it in a rational way, ie getting the F*%# out of Ukraine in exchange for dropping sanctions. Its not like capturing a few parts of Ukraine does them any good.

Russia were the ones who started this whole ridiculous way. Neither NATO nor the US nor the EU was as you claim screwing around in Ukrainian politics the way you claim. The one doing the screwing around was Russia much of this was illegal (bribes, corruption, etc) and was generally malicous. NATO was already on Russia's borders and its not like they were building huge bases or putting nukes there much less making diabolical plans to invade Russia. Instead they were banding over backwards to appease Russia.

Hell neither the EU nor NATO cared that much about Ukraine, not nearly as much as they should have.

Poland Finland and the Baltics are right in the neighborhood and have a much more rational interest in making sure Russia doesn't conquer Ukraine, cause they might be next. And NATO and the EU have an interest in making sure Russia gives up on its aggression otherwise its eastern members won't be safe. Ukraine is also a future member of both. Also crucially Ukraine has a bigger interest in Ukraine then Russia does

It costs them money. Also, for years there was a problem with people who'd sift through quarters for rare 1964-and-earlier ones that had silver content, and then return most of the quarters to a bank. And some people would do this in high volume, using coin-sorting machinery, and traveling around the region, to hit many banks. So, a bank branch would lose money on providing the coins and/or lose even more on taking back all the non-silver ones.

After my condo building's laundry room vendor recently swapped out the card readers for some dodgy IoT app thing, I've started using quarters again, and finding quarters at all is difficult. Most store customer service counters and checkouts have a rule against trading quarters at all, though one did offer to trade up to $2 worth (like for parking meter). All the laundromats that still use quarters have threatening signs on their quarters changers, that it's only for customers. My bank branch limits to 4 rolls per customer (after verifying that you have an account there), and you can often sense that the counter person enjoys the transaction even less than some of the other money-losing services they provide.

Why doesn't it make sense to you? From my perspective the idea was that the NAT protects your devices - and your device is now punching a hole into this protection, making it vulnerable to the world wide web

This circumventing doesn't have to be done by a malicious actor, it just comes at the added risk of becoming "targetable" from the Internet

To reward positive stories that include crime, just because other people "might also be doing it" is ehhh. That's literally what criminals tell themselves, that everyone else does it.

For a liar and a cheater, it's basic modus operandi to tell you some of their lies to give themselves a veneer of honesty.
