No it definitely is not. You absolutely could pay $20k as a client for two full business days of work on top of a 1000' broadcast tower by a crew of four guys, repairing/modifying/replacing things, but not for just changing the bulb. If the obstruction lighting needed more labor intensive repairs or replacement you could easily spend more than $20k for a more complicated project. That video and social media post are a well known trope in the industry.
Most? I find that very hard to believe. Only the latest generation of consoles and a few late models of the last generation have no disc drives. Plenty of people will still have PS* and Xbox-n with disc drives, not to mention a lot of people will have 30-year-old Walkman CD players and 20-year-old set-top DVD players in their garages that still work. I have several working computers that have working DVD drives. My car still has a CD player. If all else fails, new USB-connected drives are still purchasable for very cheap prices.
I agree with pretty much everything (and have implemented my own blog like it), but I would like to expand on a few things:

> I don't load the page in parts as you scroll it. It loads once and then you have it.

Lazy loaded images are helpful for page performance reasons, as done by <img loading="lazy">. I have a script that flips one to eager (so it loads immediately) every few seconds depending on page load speed, so that it you leave the page alone for a while, it fully loads.

> I don't put godawful vacuous and misleading clickbait "you may be interested in..." boxes of the worst kind of crap on the Internet at the bottom of my posts, or anywhere else for that matter.

Most of the posts on my blog[0] are whatever videogame that I was just playing. Often, I'll play through installments in a series, or mention one game while talking about another. While I litter the text with links back to previous entries, I feel that it would be helpful to have a collection of these near the bottom of the page. How else would you know that I've written about the sequel? (I don't like to go back old posts and add links to newer stuff like that.)

I have a "you might be interested in" section. My algorithm: do a search on the post title (up to the first number or colon, but can be customized), then add recent posts from the category you're looking at. Limit 6. I feel that genuinely shows everything relevant that I got and not be 'misleading' or 'clickbait'.

> I don't force people to have Javascript to read my stuff.

Agreed! JS should be used to enhance the experience, not be the experience. This mindset is so baked into how I write it, that most of my blog's JS functions have "enhance" in them.

> I don't force you to use SSL/TLS to connect here. Use it if you want, but if you can't, hey, that's fine, too.

I'm guessing you've never worked in sales.

Even well-known product lead companies like Atlassian employ sales reps, especially at the enterprise and strategic levels, because demonstrating value to the end user is only a part of the sales process. There's lots of additional work that's closer to project management that's required to close a deal. It's identifying and aligning stakeholders, helping to justify budget by putting together a business case for leadership and finance teams who won't directly interface with the product and need to be sold on it's value. This is the sort of thing high level business to business sales reps spend a ton of time doing.

Trying to avoid gluten?

Don't forget, first you have to suspect to have a gluten problem. There are many forms of celiac. And there are forms that are unlikely to be diagnosed by a doctor. They may even not know what you have if you tell them the name of the disease and have to google it.
In big teams you are right it almost is inevitable.

I've been keeping an eye on his return vs just doing a target retirement plan, and some years it's been neck-in-neck, but this past year he really hit it out of the ballpark. I have some money, around 10%, that I direct. Some is "play money" that I put in moon-shots, some I put in more reasonable investments to try to track vs the FA. He charges me 1%. He did save me his fees this year by pulling out of Supermicro at the first signs of issues.

There is some friction with the FA, the biggest has been when I was heavy into some individual investments due to huge returns, and their oversight wanting me more diversified, but in the end I could sign a paper saying I understood this risk. One friend did recently point out that if I had followed my own advice rather than following others advice, I'd literally be a billionaire now, so that's one point I have to watch related to the FA.

My self-directed currently is mostly out of the market.

>A good realtor has knowledge of current values in the local market, issues to look for throughout the transaction, which services will be needed and who can be trusted to provide those services.

Even if a "good" Realtor actually knows these things (and they don't, even though most think they do), you can't trust anything they say because they have misaligned incentives from you. So what service am I paying for, again?

And if only .001% of Realtors are "good", what does it even matter? You're not likely to be able to find a "good" one anyway. And if I do how do I verify they are "good?" You can't. And you straight up can't change your mind about who you are working with midway through the process, you sign a contract.

If I want home buying/selling services I should be able to pay a fixed fee (either per service or per hour) and get those services on the open market (and pay for them even if I don't close). Them demanding 6% of the value of my house is straight criminal. As is, the buyers agent works for the seller, because that's who is paying them.

>My understanding is that licensing the has since tightened

You're wrong. Even if they have tightened, any dingus can still get a real estate license.

Real estate agents are the house version of used car salesman.
Hi there fellow ADHDer,

Not really a blog, but the most comprehensive website I know with essay-length info on all things ADHD is this one: https://www.adxs.org/en

Otherwise r/ADHD and r/ADHDers are great resources on reddit.

ADHD 2.0 from Hallowel and Ratey is a pretty standard book.

That being said, there is no real replacement for medication when it comes to efficacy.

Have you tried a different medication?

I had to switch mine due to side effects and the new type has been working for me like a charm ever since.
But you also can't blame Ebay for letting the guy steal? Ebay just can't be blamed ever, seems like a great position to be in.

I can feel comfortable with passkeys as an alternative (maybe even default) login method. But given the changes for attestation and what this enables, along with hostility towards portability from the spec authors, it means that I cannot ensure I have access to my passkeys going forward, so being the only auth method is problematic. That is often the current state, which is good, but the security goals of passkeys are then limited if passwords still exist, so I'm not confident that that will remain more than a transitional state.
> The problem with that is then you need a mechanism that creates non-uniformly distributed mass.

The mechanism is gravity; and we have good observational evidence that the mass distribution of the universe is not uniform, at least at the scales we can observe (we can see galaxy clusters and voids).

What article? The Turing box on the page has no links to anything and the entire page is just a bunch of these boxes. Sure it has the link icon in the two places like all the others. But the Turing one has no actual links on them. Even the little info icon that works on the GSM8K does nothing for the Turing one.
What you say sounds logical, but it's nevertheless observably obviously wrong, and that's what's important.

All the figures bear out that people find football more entertaining than extreme feats. Maybe they like the slow pace and tension as it's more relatable to their own lives, or because the lulls in action allow some socializing or whatever.

Otherwise they'd spend their weekends watching hours of shark wrestling or whatever.
I'm curious about the situation in the UK. They don't seem to use ".uk", but rather ".co.uk". I bought a couple ".uk" domains because they were cheaper than all the other weird ones like .club, .today, etc. I couldn't figure out why a well-known place like the UK would have deeply discounted TLD's.
I have a HELOC and every time I move, their fraud dept calls me. And to call them back is not on their main bank number. It was super sketchy but legit.

The current administration's poor messaging on inflation and the economic problems faced by many Americans was a significant contributing factor to their loss of the election. (https://www.barrons.com/articles/economy-2024-election-why-h...)

The WSJ and other major publications have a vested interest in brokering access by tailoring their coverage to be friendly to those in power. They are largely responsible for setting the agenda and tone of issues during an election.

(https://archive.pagecentertraining.psu.edu/public-relations-...)

Given these two factual statements... The stated stance of the current administration was to downplay the impact and scale of economic hardship, and the role of major media outlets during an election is to set out the agenda and issues to be debated during an election period...

I think it clearly follows that the WSJ had a vested interest in providing one perspective on the economy before and during the election, and now that this period is over, they can provide a different perspective more aligned with the perspective of the working class, and less aligned with the perspective of the incumbent administration.
I've found that thinking of tensors in terms of graphs make Einsums much more natural.

For example, a matrix product MN, `a b, b c -> a c` is just two nodes with two edges each: `-a- M -b- N -c-`. Their `b` edges are connected, so the resulting graph has only two "free" edges `a` and `c`. That's how we know the result is another matrix.

Once you look at tensors this way, a number of things that are normally tricky with standard matrix notation become trivial. Such a higher order derivatives used in neural networks.

I wrote https://tensorcookbook.com/ to give a simple reference for all of this.

Regressing social policy is why my wife and I decided not to have children over the last couple years.

The STacy was cool bit it was a bit of a brick (7kg!!), much akin to the first Macintosh Portable. The ST Book was much nicer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST_Book . It was only 1.9kg, similar in weight to a 2010 MacBook Pro 15". Only big drawback was that it lacked a backlight which the STacy strange enough did have. The ST Book did have a fairly long battery life despite running on only 7 AA batteries!

Unfortunately not very many were made of that one. Only 1000-1200 ST Books compared to the 35000 STacys. It was produced during the downfall of Atari. So they are pretty much unobtainium these days.

The STacy has a battery compartment but in the end Atari decided not to offer a battery option because the runtime was so miserable. They improved that massively with the ST Book (but by cutting the backlight, external video interface and floppy drive among others).
Your second note is very interesting, having looked at the model myself this is very plausible.

For models which use a lot of input nodes, a lot of "hidden layers" and in the end just perform a softmax this may get infeasible because of the amount of data you would have to transfer.

You may have inspired a second article :)

Syptoms in the context of ADHD mean exactly what I think they mean.

ADHD is irreversible, it's not something that can be reversed or goes away on its own.

There is literature on a link between fetal heavy metal exposure and ADHD development.

I can't find anything on neurotoxins "mimicking" ADHD.

Again, by the very biological definition of what happens in a brain on ADHD, this is not reversible. It's chronic.

Tell HN: Create an "in case of my death" document
Hello HN!

I have just done my annual update of my "In case of my death" document. I thought it might be a good time to prompt others to do the same.

My dad died in 2024. We had quite a lot of information on where his savings etc were stored as well as other information like where he wanted to be buried, music he wanted etc. This was very useful and has meant we could get on with things a lot better than others I have known who were trying to track down various accounts which may or may not have significant amounts of money in.

I also run a small business, so if I die with little warning I would want to leave instructions for someone to operate that while they get it sold.

So... If you are mortal and have any dependents. This could be a good time to make some notes to make their lives easier when the inevitable comes.

Things to include
- How to get access to all your stuff (ie do you use a password manager, how can they access that?)
- Any accounts, savings, pensions, etc.
- Where is your will (this doc could likely be stored with your will)
- Any music you want at the funeral and why (this was useful for us as my dad had 3 pieces down and while we were grieving didn't have to plan what music to play at the funeral)
- Any plans for your funeral, ie do you want to be cremated, buried, etc.

Things to also include if you run a business
- Names/Contacts of key employees and what they do
- Rough overview of how it works, and who from employees/freelancers to ask for more info
- How to run the business day to day, what is the minimum someone would have to do if they want to keep it afloat for a sale
- I have nominated a friend who I trust to help running the biz and handle the sale process for my family. Depending on the size of your biz this may or may not make sense.
- Suggestions on how to get a quick/easy sale (ie a brokerage you trust to handle this)

Add any other suggestions below, live long and prosper!

My email and password manager are actually the two unique passwords I do remember (the rest are in my password manager). So losing my phone does not mean I lose access to them. I _have_ actually lost all my electronic devices in a house fire, so this is from experience.

2FA does make this more complicated and in my case my password manager did not have 2FA, but TOTP with backup codes does let you store those backup codes somewhere else, while none of the passkey implementations I have seen (Fastmail, Amazon and Toggl) have an equivalent to the backup codes for TOTP. The fact that they still support password auth is probably their failsafe here, but this assumes that password auth continues to exist, which is contrary to to the goals of passkeys.
I've had a Mastodon account for years, but never used it. Newer twitter-clones also fail to interest me, simply because user-driven social media just isn't all that engaging for me. Topic-driven or article-driven like old-school forums or HN/Slashdot/etc. produce much better discussion and are less annoying to navigate and curate.

>ambitious young people thinking if they push for implementing those things they will be „real professionals”

This is a real problem. It can destroy a successful operation. I don't specifically want to blame "young" or any other particular attribute, but it's common in that ambitious corporate type. Hiring managers, especially in startups, should really think about a newcomer's background. If someone comes from services where the name of the game is billable hours, it is going to be ingrained that there are processes that exist to justify those hours. That fails when your client is your company.
2025 Trending Cloud Services: Industry-Specific and Serverless
The label looked like it was printed on a cheap ink jet printer. The colors on the label weren't the right shades either.

The strings were guitar strings rather than cello strings. They're too short for a cello. The winding metal is different too. A bow doesn't grip guitar strings as well.

Most counterfeiters send super cheap cello strings with a fake label. In those cases, the best way to tell is that the silk windings on the strings will be the wrong colors.

There's a huge difference in sound. Cheap/fake strings tend to sound metallic and harsh. They also tend to break quickly, while a proper set of strings can last over a year.
"The most expensive Central American country" is still, from what I gather, rather affordable compared to the US. And the quality of living is fairly high, with good, affordable healthcare.

What I'm thinking is: I'm at about half my target retirement savings. Which means if I can halve my expenses, and get healthcare, I can retire now.
I think that Intel being split up into separate design and manufacturing firms might well be the optimal path forward. It is quite clear that AMD did the right thing when it spun out Global Foundaries 15 years ago. Were Intel to do so, the urgency of winning customers to survive might well give the manufacturing business the clarity of purpose and drive needed to do what needs to be done. Plus the new board of directors would not be able to allow the ship to continue drifting.
Yeah, but ideally you'd check if the note is actually playing as part of handling note off.
Except if you're relying on "an old phone" as your backup device, you'll find you don't have access because you haven't powered it on to sync passkeys, and Google expired your login anyway as you haven't used it on that device in months.
What your coworkers are experiencing could be signs of Luddism. This Luddism could be a very natural and human reaction.

The life situation of your coworkers could vary widely: maybe some are financially insecure living paycheck to paycheck, maybe some have made a significant purchase and cant afford to loose their job, maybe someone had a new child born and doesn't have the time to make huge investments in their workflow and is afraid of drowning in the rising tide. Maybe they're pushing back against performative business, not wanting everyone to feel that to be productive they need to constantly be modifying 100s of vue files.

Maybe they're jealous of you and your cybernetic superpowers; jealousy is a completely normal human feeling. Or maybe you were going about this in an ostentatious manner, appearing to others as tooting your own horn. Maybe there's a competition for promotions and others feel the need to make such political moves like shooting your work down. Maybe this work that you did was a political move.

Technologies are deployed and utilized in certain human contexts, inside certain organizational structures, and so on. Nothing is ever a plain and simple, cold hard cost-benefit analysis.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wabenzi:

> Wabenzi is an Anglicization of the pejorative Bantu colloquialism WaBenzi, originally used in Kenya to refer to members of the new ruling class that superseded the colonial regime, that has come to refer to the new ruling class in any post-colonial African country. The term usually refers to a corrupt government official, or family member of one, and derives from their being seen as driving an imported car. "Wa" is a prefix that refers to people in some Bantu languages; "benzi" comes from Mercedes-Benz, a car perceived as prestigious. The Anglicized spelling form is more common than the original Bantu WaBenzi.
My router configures a VLAN for guest network access, and that's a normal consumer Fritz!Box. I think other brands do the same.

People may not know they're running a VLAN, but VLANs aren't uncommon either.
Agreed.

But the topology given in the article shows three separate, non-overlapping /64s, one for each host/router. (Although one would assume that the router at least must have an interface in each subnet, even if that's not what the diagram shows).

One might hope these would be on separate VLANs, as overlaying multiple subnets on one VLAN would be a bit iffy. I've not spotted anything in the article other than the diagram to detail interface configs.
