>Due to how it looked I assumed it works as a standard four-function calculator, but it was actually storing the whole expression in memory and executing it as per the standard precedence rules.

Isn't that how even fairly cheap 'real' calculators do it now though or do really cheap ones really just do one operation at a time from left to right?

Ask HN: Challenge: Can code AIs fix real-world problems?
On this site, some programmers get nervous about coding AIs taking away their jobs.

Meanwhile, some of the most basic bugs that plague millions of programmers are still around after decades.

If code AIs were really good, shouldn't those issues disappear?

So here's a challenge:

* Full-text search in gnome-terminal does not work; it misses occurrences (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/issues/220)

If your coding AI, or your use of somebody else's coding UI, can convincingly fix this, please post!

I also invite others to post similar challenges of "this is so basic, how hard can it be?" style problems in real-world open-source software that lots of people use.
so theyre not the mack truck version of houston swangas eh?

theres certainly an intimidation factor when youre side to side on the highway
Really? "There's a blown-down tree here"... "Someone ran into this lamp post"... "This traffic sign has been vandalized"... "There's someone parked on the grass"...

That's all without value?
"Offline" has been my number one rule for home automation since I started using HA about a decade ago.

I have a couple of hundred devices connected to it now, and the _only_ cloud integration I use is Spotify, for obvious reasons; I have been careful when buying smart things that they're completely offline, and anything I buy that _is_ smart but isn't offline-only gets hobbled into a "dumb" appliance; e.g. my new dishwasher has "smart" stuff, if I connect it to Wi-Fi, I found the maintenance menu and disabled the network interface entirely and it's just a regular dishwasher now, which is how I like it.
If that was true, we could finally abandon PKI and just use favicons...
I feel like not that much. Presumably its something like pupeteer running in a dedicated cloud account with very little access to anything else.

Like its possible you could get something there, but i could think of a lot more juicy targets if you have a chrome 0-day.
Fair point. I only know Linuxserver from various open source projects that don't offer containers on their own. I guess you mean tools like Radarr and so on. I guess it's okay to assume that someone might by offended by that.

What I specifically meant by horrendous was not only that they ignore one project. Unfortunately, I made similar experiences with my little project. They don't reply to emails, the application process is mediocre at best and the last time my projects' org got a renewal for the program, they mixed up accounts and first wanted to charge me for a team plan. Thank god someone noticed this on their side and fixed it. But all in all, a subpar experience. My expectation would be that someone at Docker takes care of this in an honest and professional manner. As of today, this seems to be not the case.
"Everything should be as simple as it can be but not simpler!"

As "cool" as the project seems, I completely agree with some of the comments in the video expressing disbelief that they were able to get funding for the project for more than a decade. It seems immediately obvious at the outset that there's no commercial application for the technology, as cool as it is. Way too many moving parts, way too complicated, for something that likely will only ever provide much less energy than a traditional wind turbine.
> I asked if I could call back a phone number listed on Google.com and she said sure - this number is listed on google.com and you can call back with your case number, but there may be a wait on hold and I might get a different agent. I googled it and sure enough, it was listed on google.com pages. I didn't call back though.

This is where a big mistake is. Always, ALWAYS phone or contact back using the company’s official channels. Because if they have sufficient info about you, scammers can make a call sound hella legitimate, but one thing they still cannot do is pick up the company’s phone for them when you phone in. Especially if you call from a hardline, which requires compromising the phone company’s switching equipment.

Even my father, nearly 86 with a 5th grade education and slowly sliding into dementia, knows better than to uncritically accept being directly contacted. He’s already short-circuited several scams (of various types) in the last few years by hanging up and phoning back in himself.
Dedicated bus lanes are designed to increase a city’s total throughout. As in by removing a full lane of traffic and only sending bus down that lane things improve.

That seems counterintuitive, but bus utilization and congestion occur at the same time. So one bus is replacing 20-60 cars in busy periods. At 2AM an empty bus may be taking up a lot of road, but the streets are practically empty.
That's a bizarre interpretation of 'cars in Europe must have a system to automnatically call emergency services when they crash/their airbags deploy'
Interesting - I suppose it depends on how you count things. I have more than 100 smart light switches in my house, so if you add in smart plugs, sensors, cameras, etc I certainly have more than 300 'smart devices'. That has no effect on if the house is somehow less or more horrid, at least from my, my wife, and my daughters point of view ( I asked them ). Perhaps all three of us are weird however. ;)

The author has some points but if I was one of his colleagues reading this (he works at github according to his resume) I'd hate to approach him with anything, at all.

I’ve done all that. It’s insufficient. I’m getting surgery in LA next month to help push it forward more. My surgeon said I’m one of his oldest clients for what I’m getting done. Most people at my age aren’t getting surgeries like this because it’s kinda considered “too late”. But here I am, in my mid-30s trying to stay competitive.
> self-driving taxis...don’t alleviate congestion

Not by themselves. But combine them with a congestion tax, unless the taxi is full, and you've got an infinitely adaptable, cheap, and scalable bus network.
I do wonder if it would be possible now to not map this to textures, but to pixels in screen space.

Because it looks like high-res 3D mapped textures with circular dots on them now, rather than low-res screen pixel dithering.

I remember seeing the video about the difficulties of dithering stability in "Return of the Obra Dinn".

The solution here has it rendered on textures, but the dots still all have similar size in screen space, so mapping this to actual screen space might still be possible (as in, no circular dots on textures, but low-res pixels on screen being turned on/off directly)?
Perhaps you're thinking of Forster's "The Machine Stops"? There's been plenty of submissions to HN in the past, with links to the story text, and user comments: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...
Perhaps, but I still think it is lazy. A very nice counter example of someone with high commit standards can be seen in this repository: https://github.com/rmyorston/pdpmake/commits/master/

It partially comes down to what you buy. I've found that pre-flashed tasmota smartplugs are pretty bullet proof. They talk normal MQTT and wifi 2.4ghz.

If you're buying some random smart crap with integration on some sketchy app then yeah you'll have a bad time

That said, haven't scaled anywhere close to 100 devices
That’s a very different kind of matchmaker. Those aren’t usually marriages of love to begin with.
It’s not just Siri. With recent updates it has become obvious that iOS as a whole is getting worse. It’s not just the photos app in iOS 18 either - there are many annoyances all over the OS. As far as “intelligence” goes, I’ve also noticed that other ML powered features like typing and text prediction are worse on iOS today than in the past. Meanwhile support services like iCloud continue to have issues themselves - for example sync is completely broken on windows and has been this way for years.

I’m not sure what Apple is doing anymore. The hardware has been commoditized so if they aren’t competing on software, how are their outrageous margins defensible?

An excellent way to ensure passenger safety is not to share an enclosed space with someone dangerous.

When it comes to transportation systems, the goals should be: safety, utility, reliability, convenience, speed, flexibility, efficiency, environmental impact (pollution, noise, etc.).
Great blog! I was encountering this issue with the buffer limits. Will try it later.
Don't want your Kubernetes Windows nodes hijacked? Patch this hole now
I have a 2018 Crosstrek and a 2024 Outback. They both are really, really, good, and here are the two rough edges.

* Crosstrek doesn't do wireless CP/AA, and the USB only supplies 1.5a, so it sometimes isn't enough to charge the phone while listening to music and navigating. This is a common problem in 2018 vehicles. USB-C had not conquered the world yet.

* Outback has a big screen. The only complaint is that it is too aggressive, telling users no because the vehicle is moving. Passenger operating the touch screen is a thing, and nothing is worse than having to pull over so someone can change a setting. Also, it is a very bad experience to be going 70MPH, tap a button, and be told no - will be interesting to see if this causes accidents where people momentarily stop paying attention to the road because they are raging to the touch screen.

One thing that is really nice about Subaru is that the controls just evolve a little from model year to model year. When I got the Outback, there were only a few buttons that had moved to get used to. Aside from climate control, almost everything has buttons, and most of the time, they are on a stalk or steering wheel.

There is no cure for digital privacy in any modern car. And there is no consumer choice to enable or disable data sharing. We need some legislative intervention here.
That's awesome to hear! You happen to know about something similar but outside of the US? Any continent is fine, even Canada or Mexico would be OK.
Any plan to update the GUI for conditional logic inside of automations? It's really clumsy to do IF/THEN or switch style constructions. Too much visual space and clunky overall.

Clicking a link signals the user's intent. That's how hypertext works.

Click here to agree.
Some clarification on what "one log" means here:

- It means using one log across different concerns like state a, communication with b, lock c. Often that is in the scope of a single entity (payment, user, session, etc.) and thus the scope for the one log is still small. You would have a lot of independent logs still, for separate payments.

- It does _not_ mean that one should share the same log (and partition) for all the entities in your app, like necessarily funneling all users, payments, etc. through the same log. That goes actually beyond the proposal here - has some benefits of its own, but have a hard time scaling.
I massively disagree. It would have taken the author approximately 1 minute to write the following high quality hack-n-slash commit message:

```
Big rewrites

* Rewrote X

* Deleted Y

* Refactored Z
```

Done
None of the above. My objection is the lack of explanation.

Churn is okay. Prototypes are okay. Toying with ideas is okay. They should all be in the source tree. But I would want an explanation for the benefit of future readers, including the future author. Earlier in my life I have more than once run blame on a piece of code to find myself writing a line of code where the commit message does not explain it adequately. These days it's much rarer because I ask myself to write good commit messages. Furthermore the act of writing a commit message is also soothing and a nice break from writing for computers.

Explain how requirements have changed. Explain how the prototype didn't work and led to a rewrite. Explain why some idea that was being toyed with turned out to be bad.

Notice that the above are explanations. They do not come with any implied actions. "Why is there churn" is a good question to answer but "how do we avoid churn in the future" is absolutely not. We all know churn is inevitable.
They became the ruling class after gaining independence from England's ruling class, so at the time of its draft they were trying to become a ruling class. Things like equality of the law, free speech, anti-search-and-seizure all helped them avoid England's tyranny.

The constitution was drafted at a time where there was an honor-based system of society. Dishonor, shame and society's distaste for it was the punishment for violating core principles like the bill of rights. But we no longer live in that society.
This is mostly showing IoT devices that are exposed to the internet.
Literally this right here. For all the folks jumping in and downvoting my OP by screeching the same tired talking points Capital uses to grease the wheels of politics (“it’s cheaper per passenger mile”, “no more empty seats”, “nobody goes downtown anymore anyway”, “adapt to the dynamism of your urban development”), the reality is that trains are damn near impossible to cut through BS austerity versus flimsy bus and bike lanes. That’s the point. We’re a grown-ass species that still behaves like chaotic toddlers when it comes to urban planning (we don’t really give actual planners the resources, authority, and timelines they need to execute), letting Capital dictate where to build fancy neighborhoods and malls in the middle of nowhere because it’s cheaper for them, rather than forcing and incentivizing modern development near existing transit infrastructure. In other words, we literally permit the developments they then use to justify dismantling mass transit projects in the future, and then a whole bunch of goldfish swarm the comments to go “NoBoDy CoUlD hAvE pReDiCtEd ThIs!”

The brutal core of this argument remains those who demand we take urban planning and development seriously to benefit the masses, versus those who seek fortune and riches bootlicking those who would benefit from chaos and disorganization. I hate to be that blunt about it, but I think the HN crowd can swallow that bitter medicine better than most.

If you’re all-in on a car-focused city, then you’re going to be disappointed. If you have gripes with your current mass transit (like Boston’s infamous Green Line), then it’s better to address those gripes directly than throw the baby out with the bathwater in favor of something newer, shinier, and worse.
> They see BTC as an investment rather than a currency.

So you'd argue that the stock market is a scam too, since people use stocks not as a "what a company is worth" but as a investment they expect to gain in value, and they try to push narratives to support that?
Do Meta bathrooms currently stock socks? No, so its a silly analogy.

As to the question of 'how many people did this serve?' I imagine a very small number. The shocking cost to Meta was a box of tampons that probably needed to be replaced every 10 years. They've gone out of their way to remove this cost at the expense of making that small number of employees feel comfortable.
i just do not think bus drivers where i live are doing that except maybe for the tree - you live in the US?
I'm very disappointed in the comments here. They amount to

Urbanists: we should make mass transit more affordable and convenient, and people will use it more.

Industry: Ok we have tech that can reduce the cost of operating buses by 50% and let them operate round the clock.

Urbanists: No no not like that. I didn't hear the words "trains" or "light rail" anywhere.

I personally think we should celebrate any improvements in the cost and availability of public transit. And that includes buses.
Have you tried using the NodeRed plugin? That’s worked really well for me
Completely unrelated to the article but at least related to home automation: is there something that can be used to detect if a door is locked or not? I am sure there is something that replaces the entire lock to allow automation, but I am thinking of some kind of sensor to attach close to an existing lock.
But it seems like a complicated problem to solve easily. There are many kinds of locks and so on...
I just did it while playing music on my phone and video playing in the background. I initiated with “Hey Siri”. I’m running the latest version of iOS.

But honestly, most of the time I either take an Airpod out of my ear, click on the AirPod stem, use my watch if I’m running to control volume, playback, or use the steering wheel controls on my car.
I've used exif-database for something similar but it doesn't build the folder, it just lets you query the sqlite database to find what you are looking for.

You're missing my point, it prohibits congress from passing laws, but it does not force congress to punish themselves, the executive branch or the judicial branch when a violation occurs. "don't do it" is not a law, "don't do it, or else..." is a law. in other words,it prohibits actions before the fact, but there is no consequence to violating it after the fact, other than reversal where possible.
This comment assumes that the leakage current is all of the power draw, and not just the majority of it. I find it unthinkable that leakage current is 99.99% of the power draw of SRAM. 95% sounds believable, but then you're talking about removing 500 mW, not 1 mW.

This also gets rather tricky, because the standard way to connect computer chips is with copper traces, which are wildly good conductors of heat. A solution like this will probably need optical interconnects with the made from a thermal insulator.

It's a fun design problem to chew on
> There's several use cases to virtualization

That's certainly a risk, and bluesky STILL has no user funding, sustainable or otherwise. But making your site a heavily walled garden is bad for any kind of open Internet.
Seemed like "everyone" switched to Podman and Buildah over two years ago. Nothing screams "amateur and clueless" like still using Docker.
Not GP, but I've been at this for over a decade now and here's the maintenance that I've had to do:

1. one z-wave switch died after 10 years, replaced it with a zigbee one.
2. Two GE zigbee bulbs failed after 8 years.

That's it.

I've made a point of trying to avoid anything which requires the internet/cloud to function.

The hue bulbs that I added in 2015 are still going strong. I see so many people complaining about the short lifespan of bulbs and all I can figure is that their power dirty or they are buying very cheap equipment.
Starting pay for a CTA bus operator is like $27/hour, and can go up to $40/hour. I imagine other big cities are similar, so probably at least about 20% higher than that range, neglecting overtime. But a driver will work 40 hours a week, though presumably they're not inside a bus the whole time. A bus can be used upwards of 80-100 hours a week (though some will be used less). So operating a bus can be up to $200-250k/year. An average bus lasts around 12 years. So operating it is more expensive than buying it. There are other costs of course (maintenance, cleaning, fuel/electricity, upkeep of bus shelters, etc.), but I think operator cost dominates.
I can see where some of that could be written more clearly. To elaborate:

- We mean using one log across different concerns like state a, communication with b, lock c. Often that is in the scope of a single entity (payment, user, session, etc.) and thus the scope for the one log is still small, and it reduces coordination headache for coordinating between the systems. You would have a lot of independent logs still, for separate payments.

- It does _not_ mean that one should share the same log (and partition) for all the entities in your app, like necessarily funneling all users, payments, etc. through the same log. What would be needed if you try and do some multi-key-distributed transaction processing. That goes actually beyond the proposal here, and has some benefits of its own, but have a hard time scaling.
No idea why you get down voted, but it is extremely clear that Bitcoin is useless as a currency. It is many orders of magnitude worse as payment network over existing solution.

The one advantage it has, trustless transactions without the double spending problem, is not even desirable for governments. Why would any government want a payment system it can not control.

Bitcoin is a literal meme, it's worth is entirely derived from the beliefs of some subculture.
Seems far fetched but ok
