> If you have nix installed, this AppImage will not work! Either use the nix or uv installation instructions!

Is this really true? I understand why it does not work on NixOS (I tried just out of curiosity and it seems like it is unable to exec the host systemctl for some reason) but I don't think there's any reason it wouldn't work on other OSes that merely have Nix installed.

Interestingly though, on Nix v2.24.11, I can't use the provided Nix command either:

$ nix run https://github.com/isd-project/isd
error:
… while fetching the input 'https://github.com/isd-project/isd'

error: Failed to open archive (Unrecognized archive format)

Even if that did work (you could adjust it into a Git URL to make it work) it would probably not be ideal since Nix has a native GitHub fetcher that is more efficient. I think this should be the actual Nix command:

nix run github:isd-project/isd

Anyway, this is cool. I actually wanted to make a similar thing using systemd's DBus API and Qt instead of a TUI and even started writing code for it, and if you wanted to I'm sure you'd find that the DBus API probably provides all of the functionality you would need (admittedly it is a lot easier to just call `systemd -H` than to implement your own SSH tunneling, though.) It kind of frustrates me that systemd and modern Linux in general is absolutely teeming with data and interfaces that could be exposed and make administering systems, especially desktop systems that were traditionally very inscrutable, much easier. e.g. in the past, how did you know what was going on when an xdg autostart app failed? Now with systemd running xdg autostart apps in some desktops, it would be really easy to provide a GUI that can show you the failed autostarts and even provide a GUI log viewer, and yet somehow, such a tool does not seem to exist, at least in the realm of things that are maintained and relatively feature-complete. Rather frustrating.

Since Covid we have moved to a Zero Trust approach regarding all the things regarding the network. We have more and more access control on the LAN to avoid whoever to connect and now it's time for the Wi-Fi to change its implementation. Currently, most of companies have implemented an "Open SSID" to provide access to visitors, BYOD or partners. Because no other solution existed. Based on the Open SSID, we can configure multiple layers of security to avoid to have this network impacting the corporate network. But now, some mechanisms exist such like OWE to secure the association of device to the network. You may say that I need to have an OWE device to connect to an OWE network and you right, not all devices support this security mechanism. Based on a vendor solution, you can implement an "Open SSID" with a redirection mechanism allowing OWE device to connect to the SSID with OWE and other device which doesn't understand OWE will still connect to the Open SSID. So you keep one SSID with both functionalities and this is huge

It’s fascinating to talk to people from different cultures or different political leanings and find out how the internet that they browse is vastly different to the one I experience. Yet we aren’t necessarily seeking out different things. It’s just that tithe things presented to us align with (and reinforce) a different worldview. They’ll get annoyed about hearing about something constantly, and I’ll have little impression of the thing at all. We will have different “facts” established in our heads but not be able to pinpoint where we learned them. We have different realities.
A little more complicated because in some settings drugs are covered by Medicare part B but generally not if administered yourself at home. Then yes it’s part D and the most out of pocket in Part D from 2025 going forward is $2K.

Also, they do negotiate for a very few drugs and the number is climbing. This was part of the IRA. However only drugs that are FDA approved for your issues are covered.

Before the IRA the government was not allowed to negotiate any drug prices by law which was/is crazy.

Electric vehicles are not “very” expensive, even in Europe, and it’s a capital expense. That charger is going to be useful for decades to come.

And if electric vehicles pencil out in the US to equal cost of gas cars including oil changes and all that, then surely they do in Europe with their higher gas costs.
This looks neat. I have to look up the very fiddly and unintuitive systemd commands all the time. service start? service.foo start? start foo.service? Oh right, sudo systemctl start service.foo

And the feedback is so bad. It should know everything in its own config dir and tell me how to do what I want to do. Was it enabled? I forget. How do I look at logs? Oh right journalctl. Also the layout of things with lots of symlinks and weird directories in places that annoy my 90's linux sysadmin brain. Why am I looking at /lib/systemd/system

I am annoyed by the redundant "systemd/system" directory name every time I have to go there. At this point, just promote it to /etc/systemd and build a better CLI.

As a very occasional linux sysadmin just trying to make things work, the "typing at a console" systemd interfaces are not fun to work with. Maybe nobody should be doing that. In an enterprise, sure that's different. I think interfaces should be human, and linux should still be fun.
Fun article, but the example of Hilbert Curve usefulness with hard drives is quickly aging out. SSDs, which are increasingly prevalent, have more-or-less constant access time. There is no equivalent of the seek time or rotational latency that slows down HHD access when successive reads are on different tracks, at different rotational angles.
If, by the grace of tech Jesus, amd gave us such systems at volumes Nvidia would notice, Nvidia would simply then do the same but with a better ecosystem.

The biggest problem for AMD is not that the majority of people want to use AMD. It is that the majority of people want AMD to be more competitive so that Nvidia will be forced to drop prices so that people can afford Nvidia products.

Until this pattern changes, AMD has a big uphill battle. Same for Intel, except Intel is at least seemingly doing great gen/gen improvements in mid/low range consumer GPUs and bringing healthy vram along for the ride.

If you were a drug company how much money would you spend on developing an Ozempic/Wegovy follow on drug?

At the time, Chrome was far and away the most secure browser available. It still is the most secure browser in many respects but not by enough of a margin to outweigh its disadvantages in some cases, like mobile, where its lack of extension support hurts security for those who know what they're doing as well as usability.
> It’s because ultimately the species survives, not the individuals.

No, this is wrong. "Survival of the species" isn't a basis for selection. It will not lead to a gene becoming more prevalent in a population of interbreeding individuals.

Bees sacrifice themselves because they share genes with the queen; genes that are involved in this sacrifice increase their relative abundance in the bee gene pool by increasing the fitness of the superorganism that is the colony.

You’re oversimplifying things and making super generalized assumptions. Every individual and situation has its own unique context, which you’ve completely overlooked.

>You said convincing skills only come from personal struggles.

Convincing actually depends on other factors too, like communication skills, empathy, and understanding the audience’s perspective. Struggles might be part of it, but they’re not the whole story. Not every smart person goes through intense struggles. Some people are naturally skilled and can be convincing without dealing with major internal battles.
And even if we agree that struggle builds convincing skills… what about the people whose struggles impact them negatively instead of helping them grow?

>You also said the core of smartness is persistence and willpower.

Smartness isn’t just about persistence. It’s multidimensional—creativity, problem-solving, and adaptability play a huge role too. Plus, persistence alone doesn’t guarantee success. Opportunities, environment, and even luck are equally important.

>you said young people usually think they’ve tried everything and failed.

That’s not fair. Young people have their own way of seeing the world, and their experiences matter, even if they’re limited. Calling them “delusional” dismisses their efforts and doesn’t give their struggles the respect they deserve.

That's not "infinite." It's a strictly finite construct that can be forced to repeat itself an arbitrary number of times. The only interesting question is the size of the repeating block. (Presumably quite small.)

This is sort of analogous to the Library of Babel -- a fictional construct which contains every possible combination of Latin characters that fit in a 400-page book. The library has something like 26^1312000 books, but then inevitably must repeat. Its contents are either not infinite, or each volume it contains repeats itself infinitely many times.

Ramsey Theory describes this stuff, and it's a useful thing to know, as it wards against sloppy use of "infinite" and "finite."

I think about them as “on start” and “on stop”.

It is important to keep in mind that systemd is tailored towards daemons. So if your service just runs a command that eventually exits, you need to explicitly tell systemd to treat it differently than a daemon.

To design the future, we need to know where to we come from and the evolution of it. It's been 8 years that I'm in this industry. I've begin with Wi-Fi 4 standard and we are now in Wi-Fi 7. 8 years ago, the Wi-Fi network was just a good implementation for your business. Now, it's the main communication medium and for most industries, it's a critical or vital infrastructure. The evolution of the design of the Wi-Fi infrastructure is changing all the time based on the evolution of Wi-Fi standards: "Should we implement 6GHz for our corporate environment ? But did I think about all my corporate device compatibility? How much it costs to replace all ? How much time it will take to replace my devices ?" These questions should be taken into account when we think about the future of Wi-Fi. We need to understand the benefits of each evolution and the approach we can take depending on our industry.

> When you turn on FileVault, you choose how you want to _unlock your startup disk_ if you ever forget your password:

The password now locks the entire startup disk (as of FileVault2, which has been around a while) and needs to be entered into a pre-os screen. There is a place in the UI (once booted) to designate which users can do this.

This is useful for securing lost devices (since they don't have enough key material to decrypt the disk), but probably still susceptible to evil maid attacks (hacking the login screen).

All the other content recommendation systems force you into a ghetto and are highly auto-regressive. They only show you content like they already showed you, so you will never be exposed to new things. This hampers discovery, and you end up with only a few winner-take-all accounts with mass appeal and mass distribution (e.g., "Mr. Beast") who are broadly not interesting or specialized.

TikTok is more stochastic and is more likely to give wider circulation to niche and esoteric subjects. Booktok could never happen on YouTube shorts or Instagram.

Using those other platforms is like shouting into the wind. You could have videos up for years and not get 50 views. With TikTok, a random video could be seen by 250k people.

A corollary to other systems being so auto-regressive is that they are much more dangerous for vulnerable people. If Instagram decides to start showing you extremist or otherwise political content, that is all you will see. This is the "rabbit hole" effect that people have commented upon. This doesn't happen to the same degree with TikTok; while this content can be recommended, it's not all that will be recommended.

Sex in bees (and ants) is weird. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex-determination_system

Humans use XY system, so we share 50% of your genes with your children, parents and siblings (in average).

Bees and ants use X0 system. A female bee share 50% of your genes with their own daughters, 75% with their mother and 75% with their female parents and 75% with their female siblings (in average).

So, from the bee's genes point of view instead of having their own children it's better to kidnap their mother and force her to have more female children. And a consequence is that instead of running away to form their new family in a safe place it's better to die protecting their mother.

I also started with general “electrolytes” but found that one of my problems was that I was getting way too much sodium and not enough potassium. This was the primary driver of my post-meal somnolence. Most general electrolyte supplements are primarily sodium, and this was exacerbating my symptoms in some cases. I now only eat meals that have a reasonable amount of sodium and then take a couple of potassium tablets a couple of hours after eating if I feel myself starting to get a little sleepy. 30 minutes later I am ‘back to normal’, whereas I used to be sleepy for several hours as my body tried to bring my electrolytes back into balance. I also would have massive unquenchable thirst during this that I now don’t have.

I have read no studies that link CSF production with electrolyte deficiencies. This is a hypothesis of my own with no backing, so take it for what it is worth. Having said that, there have been many posts on HN on the recent studies on CSF https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39723704. I made the connection with CSF production and electrolytes when I was reading more about CSF production and it jumped off the page at me that potassium and other electrolytes are used to create CSF. It all just came together for me why taking potassium has helped me so much.
