Hey, yeah on logged users a box appears to paste the url, editing the url is just a shortcut for nerds like me :D.

I have been tought so much about the login wall, I look to what other solo developers are doing and they use to set a paywal, I left a free trial, but I need some compromise because I have no resources to let people abuse. I now it difficult conversions, but is the best I can do right now. Also even without trial it's a cheap service.

Since the HN launch I added phone support and a "Advanced" LLM plan with auto summarization of videos. I'm working to add a quiz mode tho this plan trying to offer a more complete solution.

Suggestions are welcome!
What are those states?
I personally use it to mean "there is bad news in the world and I'm obsessively watching it hoping for some glimmer of good news." If I use too much social media I just say literally that, too much social media.
And where do you think the socialists of the 60s got hard currency to import machinery from? Borrowing from non-state lenders.
The one wrinkle in this, to me, is that Trump spent four years as President already. Full disclosure: I despise the guy and wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire, BUT ... what if he saw a bunch of waste in his first run and therefore does understand what he's slashing?

Personally I don't believe that or want to believe that and would rather chalk it up to neo-toddlerism, but there's a chance right?
Isolating complexity, I would say, is a consequence of using good abstractions... not necessarily the essence of abstraction however. The essence of abstractions are in semantics. I define a type and an algebra of relations on that type which gives me theorems I can use. That is the essence. The consequence is that I can now think in terms of the theorems and definitions I've established rather than all of the details at the lower-level.

However, sometimes it's a bit over-rated when all that's needed is some information hiding and indirection, which is what this article appears to be discussing. These tools are the ones that are "leaky" in the sense that the complexity they attempt to hide often escapes the confines of their interface. It tends to give "abstraction" a bad reputation among programmers who have to deal with such systems.

Essential complexity does have to live somewhere. Best to be upfront about it.
Brick and plaster (as long as you don't seal it up with latex paint) are almost perfect at keeping proper humidity flow.
If we block on the basis that previous people didn't have something and that it would be unfair to them we would literally never make any progress in this world.

Instead of starting a new better world, we'll just stick with the old one that sucks because we don't want to be unfair. What an awful, awful way to look at the world.
I was down on the ergonomics of Web Components for a few years, but recent work has me actually excited for them as the present now. You can get some nice "Progressive Enhancement" experiences with them now.

If you are starting fresh, I'd consider taking a look at one of the lightweight options like lit [0] or FAST [1] for building your own. (Later this week or this weekend, I'm going to try to document building Web Components with my Butterfloat [2] because so far it is turning out great in my current hobby project and about to the point where I'm going to recommend it to production projects.)

(ETA: Also advice I wish was more common in Web Components documentation: You don't have to use the Shadow DOM at all. Much of the complexity and confusion in Web Components is interacting with the Shadow DOM. There's a lot of great advice on why you might want to use the Shadow DOM. There's less great advice that it can be YAGNI and it is so much easier to style Web Components when they don't use the Shadow DOM, especially in your own Web Components for your own FE using a common style template like Bootstrap or Bulma. You can just ignore the Shadow DOM and use the "real" DOM.)

Crypto is for when you have an enemy that is powerful enough tamper with your communications. It's useful in those circumstances, e.g. Chinese journalists posted covid coverage on Ethereum to prevent the CCP from removing it. In the case described in the article, Russia is using it to keep their economy running despite western sanctions.

You're not going to find a good use case for it which does not include an adversary as part of the story. But that doesn't mean it's just for criminals. Or maybe it does because this is the sort of adversary that writes laws, but sometimes the criminals are the good guys.

For instance, if I wanted to set up a shadow government so that we had something to fall back on when we all stop paying our taxes in protest of the awful things our government is using that money for, it would involve a protcol where amending its constitution means getting the right set of cryptographic signatures together to publish an additional block on the chain that defined the constitution. Locking this sort of thing into a protocol prevents the kind of interference that we saw on Jan 6 2021 because if certification of change is distributed there's nowhere to attack.

The rights are fundamentally the same: safety, reasonable treatment, wages, etc. The interpretation differs.

Germany does subscribe to fundamental, universal human rights, and worker's rights are partially derived from it. Universal human rights are at the heart of German and US politics, morality, philosophy, and anything else.
I've tried various forms of this.

As long as there's a logged in session somewhere, I have to have various tricks and extensions on my browser to manage things.

Most have been only varying degrees of successful, often ending up in me just disabling the feature whenever I want to get my fix.

The most successful iteration I've found so far is keeping these apps uninstalled from my phone, and using https://one-sec.app/ to forcibly install a barrier between me and the site.

It's not too much different, and the wait time can be customised. You can still just learn to wait through it, but importantly it also has an "intervention" feature that will block you off after a chosen time period and re-prompt you if you want to stay on.

It's been quite flaky on Instagram on desktop, but it's been very useful for Youtube on mobile (which I keep to play videos in the background sometimes).

Otherwise, Unhook for Youtube on desktop also helps blocking things like the home page and shorts.

I haven't found any extension for LinkedIn that works for blocking the feed (or at least suggested posts), and Facebook ones are sporadic in which work for me or not.
Cool concept. One advice, A video on the front page telling how you can use the software would help a lot.

It's ironic that she holds up Socrates, a man who was murdered by his own fellow citizens, as a figure who managed to "find a way through".
Humm, do you mean replacing www.youtube.com/watch?v=... by www.tubepen.com/watch?v=... ?

All browsers I have been used had an editable url field, this should be easy.

It's Time to Switch to OpenTofu
OpenTofu is now more secure (state encryption), maintainable (early variable evaluation), and powerful (provider iteration) than Terraform. This is the advantage of being truly open source, foundation-managed, and community-driven.

Now is a good time to make the switch!

I see only demonstrated difference between exactly how wealthy one single man is versus things you also can't imagine but we can understand their relative size.

How many mouths Amazon feeds is not on-topic. Imagine that he got his wealth by magic. Poof. He has it. The data would still be the same.

His wealth, as of 2021, is literally unimaginable the same way that counting the number of stars in the universe is.

Wow. It's just... so... overwhelmingly wealthy. Amazingly, spectacularly, unfathomably wealthy.
Trusting AI
We ask it the last question and it tells us the answer is 42.
The hard part about documentation is that it requires you to have a component that can be comprehensibly and sufficiently documented. So much of the software written is seen as provisional, that even its authors think “well, we’ll document the v1”, not realizing that their prototype is just that.

This made me lose a bit of faith in humanity, because it seems like when a group of humans get together, no matter what kind of structure the group take, it's going to be bad in some way.

Hierarchical, flat, or structureless (as pointed out by this article); with a rigid procedure, without a rigid procedure. Doesn't matter how the group is organized, it's going to be bad in some way.

On the geometry side from the theoretical point of view you can repair meshes, [1], by inferring a signed or unsigned distance field from your existing mesh, then you contour this distance field.

If you like the distance field approach, there are also research work [2], to estimate neural unsigned distance fields directly, (kind of a similar way as Gaussian splats).

[1] https://github.com/nzfeng/signed-heat-3d [it works but it's research code, so buggy, not user friendly, and mostly on toy problems because complexity explode very quickly when using a grid the number of cells grows as a n^3, and then they solve a sparse linear system on top (so total complexity bounded by n^6), but tolerating approximations and writing things properly practical complexity should be on par with methods like finite element method in Computational Fluid Dynamics.

Do you use chatGPT many times throughout your day (i do)? If so did you ever want it to find the best hotel and book it for you? With chatGPT you can not do this now as all the travel websites do not have their own AI Agents for GPT to communicate with. Once they do you can type to GPT back and forth or talk to it to get anything and everything you now use the web to do. Yet your human like friend (AI friend/agent) will do for you.. U dont have to talk to it but if it's just like a human why not talk to it to do everything for you & use it as a knowledgebase. If you aren't aware you can now have a full back n forth conversation with chatGPT(it's not dumbass Siri).

All technological advances that are adopted are ones that made life easier and for some cooler then what they were once using (cell phone to iPhone put the web in our pocket but using your iPhone while driving is dangerous but talking to your human like friend isnt). Check out the movie H.E.R. as what Im describing is mostly what i describe above.

Time will tell if any of what im saying comes to fruition, but Silicon Valley is all a buzz about AI Agents in the last month or two and going forward.
I usually don't comment because most fancy sites posted on here don't work on my phone since I haven't updated in awhile. However, your site lets me demo it without the file api which is considerate.

It's funny people are saying it takes an entire OS to use this when I dream of emulating DOS as a print spooler with Wordperfect, the last non-enshittified font selector. That's my working theory. Good day sir.
Because $500b is not a number anybody will commit to without significant assurances regarding tax breaks, access to labour, security etc which can only be provided by the state.

Musk cannot ban Chinese autos from the US market, but the government can. Same goes for Tiktok, Zuck cannot force Americans not to use it. AI is the next battlefield and further bans will be coming down the line to make sure the investment is protected.

borrowing from non-state lenders is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition for ‘autarky’ and your reasoning seems to just be since it happened in South America in the 60s it must be part of the economic mismanagement that occurred there.

Stack Overflow Inc. was always a commercial company. No one ever pretended anything else.
You might be surprised, but if you look at their published quarter remarks even as recent as 2023, Amazon had a operating loss of $0.1 billion in Q3 2023 for the International Segment. Amazon is a success in the USA mostly.

AWS of course is a different story.

Old but still relevant: https://qz.com/1196193/amazon-amzn-is-struggling-to-duplicat...
Sorry, but there's a roughly zero percent chance that Amazon (a company who loves money, as a reminder) decided to close operations in a major city purely out of spite.

Either it was already unprofitable, or was going to become unprofitable after the labor negotiations.
you fail to see that their net worth is dependent on everybody else’s actions: if the combined shareholders of their companies start selling for whatever reason, what happens to musk’s net worth?
the only way that rich people are rich is because other people want to get rich on their succes and that’s why they buy in. regardless of the real value produced, net worth is much like influencer reach.

It seems that from the large variation in the way different languages treat zero, there's no significant rationale behind whether it's plural or not, apart from following some existing (and ultimately also ad-hoc) pattern.

It's just the way that people (via social mechanisms - mostly mimicry) standardized expressing the absence of something.
There is lots of human feedback. This isn’t a game with an end state that it can easily play against itself. It needs problems with known solutions, or realistic simulations. This is why people wonder if our own universe is a simulation for training an asi.

Does Google have customer support for pixel phones yet
I bought a pixel a 11 years ago.
The hardware had bugs, which Google concealed and refused to admit existed. There was absolutely no way to contact anyone, no updates or fixes ever issued for the problem, essentially everyone was completely ignored like no company I had ever experienced before.

It was impossible to even get exchanges or returns.

Has anyone with a recent pixel device had issues? If so, have you had any success in real customer support?

I'm not talking about some FAQ or forum where other customers help, that just happens to be hosted on Google's servers. I mean, could you easily get exchanges and returns? Could you contact, well, anyone? Anyone at all?

I'm thinking of diving into the Pixel world again, and would love to hear of first hand, good or bad support instances.

Thanks
The only one of these I'm seeing is that there's no right-click menu for conversations in the desktop client, which does slightly violate my expectations. As to everything else:

Signal desktop takes 4 seconds to launch for me. That's a bit slow, but I launch it at boot and leave it open all the time.

I see a ... menu when I hover over messages in a chat; its contents are identical to what I see right-clicking the message.

Copy/paste of images into and out of chats works for me. The voice clip button works for me.

I'd be annoyed if I ran into a bunch of client bugs like these too, but they do sound like bugs rather than bad design. If you haven't used it in a while, they may be fixed.
Neuroscientists suggest Hebbian learning.
Better known as "neurons that fire together, wire together" which can be roughly rephrased to "neurons identify correlations in the input". They do this in a quasi-layered environment differentially modulated by waves of the materials used to alter their connections (a.k.a. trophic factor).

He was not pardoned for any crimes not charged, and therefore could still be charged.
Is that why I, and a lot of other people my age, have a lower standard of living than my parents did at the same point in their lives?

The "free movement of capital" only ever seems to move the capital one direction: up to the people who needed the labor of others to reach such wealth.
It is too bad with any type of philanthropy, somebody can find a reason why it is a negative for someone else.
how awesome that this exists. I was learning how CPU works and designing my own CPU w emulator like 20 years ago as a teenager by googling into obscure forums, blog posts and homemade cpu webring. I made an experiment not long ago "would I be able to find in google by myself all learning materials to do that again". The outcome of that experiment deeply unsettled me. Google just gives you shit and total garbage. Half of the results are AI generated, other half is sloppily written half assed abstract pseudo tutorial like nonsense on medium or other paid-for-engagement platform. My children would not be able to reproduce such self learning without watching some youtubers doing it or by accessing some curated paid course or by accidental stumbling upon "gems" like this i.e. from HN. We desperately need back old google and old internet and somehow save and preserve humanitys knowledge.
Not really. If you've ever read fiction--like, at all--it's intuitive.
It works both ways.

Where does it argue against the existence of Amazon. Not that I disagree with it, but it doesn't even do that.

It is however, out of date. At the time of creation, the 400 richest people in the world owned $3.2T of wealth, now you only need to take the top 23 richest people to amass $3.2T of wealth.
The public school funding models in the USA are variable, even by county, they can't be controlled or set by the top down, and the fact that the USA spends more than the OECD average disputes everything you are saying.

and now that the text is there- https://www.justice.gov/pardon/media/1386096/dl

You can see, this was simply a pardon for his existing convictions, no uncharged crimes, not even things related to these crimes.

As a result, he could still be charged with anything they chose not to charge.

As such, your nitpicking was pointless.

Reading on an e-ink device has kept me somewhat sane over the past 12 months.

It's still very tempting to just "hop on reddit and see what's there" or "I'll just check bluesky for..." Then it's 2 hours later and you're angry and despondent.

I've found that having no social media apps on my phone has helped. It also helps to stick to just Firefox+ublock on Android and resist every time a site tries to install an app.

Try to steer clear of any sites with infinite scrolling and recognize the dark patterns that try to suck you in. One thing that was eye-opening was to visit reddit and see which of the stories in /r/all were "amygdala-bait"; rage, indignation, hate, fear, superiority, they're all bait on the hook to reel you in.

People on reddit write fake stories that push as many buttons as possible; an obviously wrong/evil antagonist, the ridiculous situations that only get more and more extreme to try to attract notice, the righteous moral superiority over the antagonist and their minions, etc etc.

Realizing that the result is the same, whether it's a fake story or "news", it's all amgydala-bait.

I recommend getting a Library card and reading. Read anything you like, but read!
> ...to make sure workers have good working conditions and proper pay. That's universal to any job.

This is wildly untrue. The less skilled your labor, the more exploitative the available jobs are. This is why we have labor regulations, to protect these people.
Build it and find out because:

+ what people will say when imagining a tool is different from what the will do when considering an actual tool.

+ research is safer than building.

+ research is easier than building.

+ no amount of research is building.

+ research is trying to solve problems you don't have.

It's ok to have an idea and not want to do the hard work to make it happen and hard work without driving enthusiasm is often not worth doing.

Good luck.
Yeah but if we don't change the UI every few months that MBA who just got hired and is looking for a promotion won't get claps on the back for a good job.
