it deserves more advocacy
If you've found contradictions in what I'm saying, I'd be interested, but you need to find them in things I've actually said. I certainly haven't said the thing you've put in quotation marks here.
I used to be a volunteer SAR member in Colorado. You are correct that it takes many, many hours in a lot of cases. Helis were almost never used, and you’d get rolled down the mountain on a “big wheel” if you couldn’t walk. This was not fun for the subject or SAR members.

Not only that, but guess who mostly has time to volunteer? Retirees.

I wish SAR had better funding, but that’s not going to happen anytime soon. I would urge everyone in the backcountry to do their best to be self sufficient and make good choices.
I believe I've heard they will have it when more services are available. But text-to-911 seems like it could be useful.
The one book listed by Asimov links to a book of the same name by a different author.
Its an absolute roller coaster, there is something so amazing to the feeling that I can be totally self-sufficient and generate money based from my own hard work, without having to answer to anyone else.

But realistically looking at my situation, I think the wise idea is to get some financial stability, get a job, do it for a while, and then go from there.

I think I would like to start an electronic engineering consultancy in the future, so ideally the job I find is in alignment with that skill set.
Think Karabiner supports custom timeout (though not sure what you mean by the difference between a chord and a simultaneous key)
Flooding the zone with both reasonable sh* and unreasonable sh* is still flooding the zone with sh*.

Notice the timing of his statement. Right in the middle of the largest sporting event in the US. Eyes were elsewhere and it brought them back to himself.

The irony with these arguments is that the reason for the large debt is that every time the republicans have been in power they have been cutting income by slashing taxes fro the rich, while at the same time spending big on wars etc.. They then slash funding for all programs they don't like, no matter how little dent they make into the overall budget.

Let's be real if they would be worried about government spending they would start at usaid or the CDC (usaid corresponds to 1.2% of the total budget, not a significant portion of the budget by any measure).

Yes and my revenge is living life better than that. Spreading as much prosperity as I can. The problem is not that I have privilege but that others don't and to any extent I don't spread it. Sustainability comes quickly into account but that's a different comment...
For me, it blinked some markdown on the page briefly before formatting appeared. So, no, it's not raw HTML.

For what it's worth, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. My blog is written in markdown. HTML is a deeply unpleasant thing to write blogs with.
"AGI" because computers beat humans in many specific areas of intelligence. Chess playing used to be considered AI, for example. It wasn't too long ago that top human-level Go play was considered out of reach for computers, now computers exceed humans. But there isn't a system that matches or exceeds human intelligence in all aspects. That's what the G is for.
No, they are simply saying that someone who wanted these stories removed could both flag the story and engage in a flamewar. Then they wouldn't have predicted the situation, but created it.

Say some don't like stories about crypto currency, but tolerates them. So, stories about crypto currency appear and attract those interested in crypto currency. Say there are also stories about public projects, but those interested in crypto currency don't tolerate stories about public projects, so there are flamewars for those stories.

Your conclusion would then be that Hacker News is a good place for stories about crypto currency, but not for stories about public projects. Because stories about public projects creates flamewars and should therefor be removed.

When in reality those interested in public projects would be the ones wanting interesting discussions, while those interested in crypto currency would be acting against the spirit of the site.

As stories about public projects are removed eventually those interested in them would leave and stories about how public projects can't work would meet little resistance. Therefor not creating any flamewars and be good for HN. Yet, it would at best be the opposite of curiosity.
Isn’t Hugo distributed as a static binary? I assume that binary doesn’t ask you to upgrade.
Irrelevant to the topic, just wanted to say hi. I have the honor to know poga during teenage with shared interest, and you have always been an inspiration to me. Seeing your post on the front page of HN is a welcoming surprise.

Regarding the topic, I resonate with the concern about personal blog having to follow the convention of certain technology. Wouldn't say I enjoy reading it (or any site) without some minimal styling though.
Blam! <blows smoke off gun barrel>

You do it just like that. But with vi.

When I was younger, I used PowerPoint to create pseudo video games that nobody played, and I only did it because they brought me a lot of joy. Today, I do the same thing with blogging.
I've used mine as a personal knowledge base that happens to be public. It's silly how many times I've come up in search results months or years later after I'd forgotten having solved this problem before.

A semi-related story:
Freshmen year in college, I was about a week ahead in the sci curriculum and I blogged regularly about novel errors I encountered and how I fixed them. During lab late in the semester, I happen to look up into the next row. I found the duo there reading my blog post.
I blog with raw HTML too, but I don't blog about it. The "blog about the tools I use" tarpit is somewhat unique, it's like if online chefs were obsessed with creating knife and fork recipes.
Perhaps this would work for you? https://feed-me-up-scotty.vincenttunru.com/

It's a GitHub Action that regularly scrapes your page and checks for new entries, turning it into an RSS feed. Set up a redirect yourblog.com/feed -> you.github.io/feeds/feed.xml, then you're golden.
I recently sold a single share for $1 which valuates my business at roughly $20B given that I have 20B shares to sell.

Something that I've often wished, as a primarily backend focused engineer, often without frontend support, is for designers or perhaps design engineers, to pretty much build Bootstrap themes. That would let me code to the Bootstrap docs (which are pretty good), while allowing us to brand or customise whatever we're working on. I've seen even contract designers push back on this idea, suggesting that doing such a thing is beneath them, and I've heard frontend engineers push back on using Bootstrap as the framework.

This has always struck me as odd. From my, admittedly naive, point of view, Bootstrap seems to be a reasonable framework for customisation. I've done this myself in personal projects. It just doesn't seem like others see it as a design system framework in that way. Few teams have capacity to develop their own design systems, but a Bootstrap theme seems to be most of the benefits with not a lot of effort. That said, I've never been particularly enthused with third party Bootstrap themes, they seem to have too much custom work and lock-in.

What am I missing? I've not used Tailwind, but it seems like perhaps the goal of Tailwind is to do something similar?
"the node version needed"

Ahhh...
LLM's have personal option by virtue of the fact they make statements of things they understand to the extent their training data allows. Their training data is not perfect, and in addition, through random chance the LLM will latch onto specific topics as a function of weight initialization and training data order.

This would form a filter not unlike, yet distinct from, our understanding of personal experience.

you could make the exact same argument against humans, we just learn to make sounds that elicit favourable responses. Besides, they have plenty "skin in the game", about the same as you or I.
A classic that needs to be updated for the modern (hellish) macOS/Linux/WSL/BSD/Dockernetes era, but it is still (or should be) an inspiration to us all.
I doubt that strategy would have any detectable impact on whether you get the flu, or how bad your flu is when you do get it. A bad year and a normal year aren't different enough, let alone whether cases are likely to be transferred from random strangers while shopping, or if that visitation strategy actually helps [0]. There is still a roughly 90% chance you catch a flu case in a different year if you are destined to catch something this decade.

[0] If I had the flu, I would be more likely to try and shop on days and times when there aren't many other people shopping.
Sadly Kibo’s site uses SSI and is now totally trashed as a result.

To be fair, a lot of people miss that Bootstrap is themeable, and what you are complaining about is just the default theme. E.g. check out https://bootswatch.com for examples, many aren't flatsville.

I've had confused conversations with UX, etc over the years when they say "We can't use Bootstrap - our colors are totally different!", etc.
I was expecting the same too. Somewhat disappointed now.

Writing raw html and wiring it yourself is a hassle, how is not upgrading node a bigger one?
Besides there are SSGs that are a single binary

The shilling is especially cringe considering how wealthy the hosts supposedly are already.
I'd love to hear of static site generator tech that has a good history of stability.

I too take a basic approach, where I use pandoc to generate HTML according to a template, but I'm lacking an RSS feed. That's a bit fiddly to hack up.

https://dthompson.us/projects/haunt.html looks okay.
I hear you, but I think it becomes less of a sidestep when "they will not always be" is in practice "they basically never are".

And I'm not sure that most interactions even _can_ be held to account. When someone, say, hallucinates the intended meaning of something written ambiguously that has no unambiguous meaning, and I point out the hallucinatedness of their assumed meaning when what was written was definitively ambiguous, we've all just said words. There's no, like, penalty for anyone.

And people do say things ambiguously and other people do hallucinate the supposed meaning literally all the time. If there were any meaningful accountability for hallucinations, it wouldn't happen nearly as often as it does.
Whether it's fake or not is missing the point. Either way, Italian fascism was corporatist. But "corporatism" doesn't mean what people think it means. It refers to dealing with society in terms of different fields, professions, and industries, with "corporation" referring to groups that represented the common interests of those. It's not used here in the common sense of "legally recognized business" and it doesn't refer to rule by said businesses.
It's you're rawdogging your HTML then it's not that hard to rawdog RSS too.

I got the template from a friend.

Very easy.
"html" is mostly defined in the real world as "something most browsers will render".

<html><head><title>My HTML Page</title></head><body>Hello world!</body></html>

Is technically "invalid", but it's "html" in the sense that everything from w3m and Netscape Navigator through to Chrome bleed will render it as intended.

(About to click the [reply] button hoping the HN software doesn't screw all that markup up.)
I think you mean "if we don't like it, it will be lied about and demonized".

DJT & Friends don't exactly have a stunning track record of being truthful.

In fact, I don't think the man ever tells the truth. And I wish that were hyperbole. He literally just makes shit up as he goes along, and his legions of brainwashed followers just repeat what he says and twist facts to try to fit the narrative after the fact.

Biden was a geriatric moron, and I'm sure he looked the other way while people he knew profited from his actions, but this MAGA shit is a grift on a whole other level. This is like stealing the Holy Grail and getting away with it.
SFO terminal 2 has something similar, though they might have chosen a different neologism for it.

> what does he have to fear with hundreds of billions and two companies to fall back on?

Not having those anymore. With the new emergency powers Trump has claimed, he could shut down every company of Musk’s except X. Depending on how bad the breakup is, that could be on the table. Live by the sword, die by the sword.
> With social referral traffic now completely dead, the only traffic I get to my blog is when my posts appear on Hacker News

Not being a blog writer, that seems rather crazy to hear with how "social" the WWW has supposedly gotten. WP claims, there's 33 sites "with at least 100 million (monthly) active users". [1]

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_social_platforms_with_...

Top sites are up at multi-1000 million / month. Sure, some of the top sites (Youtube, Instagram, TikTok) are very heavily video based. Yet, it still seems amazing that with that many users there's so little "sharing" in terms of long form written essays or blogs. That the situation was actually better in terms of referrals before there was all the sharing? Now there's actually less organic referral traffic, and Hacker News is apparently one of the best. Walled garden issues? Better fit of the subject matter to readers? Completely videos everywhere? Decline of reading in general?

Last stats I could find from dang have:

2022, Nov 3, 5M monthly unique, 10M page views a day, 1300 submissions a day: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33454140

2015, Mar 17: 3-3.5M monthly unique, 2.6M page views a day, 300K uniques a day: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9220098

Compared to somewhere like Facebook that supposedly have 3070M monthly uniques, yet apparently produce almost no referral traffic whatsoever, that's a wildly disproportionate ratio of effectiveness for the audience size.

Edit: Taken another way, in what seems like a pessimistic view. If only 1% of Facebook still read long form writing. And only 1% of those actually decided a post was worthy of clicking on. That would still amount to 300,000 views. That seems like a lot.
You have to remember that the DC area workforce has a lot of immigrants, people married to immigrants, and people who've done significant overseas stints. Plus there is a need for hiring linguists and cultural experts with fluency in unfriendly languages.

I know of TS clearance holders who have significant ties to Iran, Syria, Russia, and Afghanistan, but have renounced those citizenships and are loyal to the US. The clearance process works to figure out what levers those countries could still pull on them - foreign property and close family still there are the big ones.
Interestingly that is the exact opposite of the Chesterton's fence concept - it illustrates that it is much better to grasp the system as it exists before attempting to change it, as then you can learn why a Chesterton's fence exists without tearing it down.
You are correct. His claim makes no sense.
That's why I also want House Republicans including Speaker Johnson to stick to the fucking Republican Party mantra of small government this time instead of yapping about it during election years and then suffering a sudden case of amnesia for 2 years.

Trump hates wars and his first term track record all but guarantees that we won't "spend big" on (more) wars as you've put it, so we likely won't have to worry about that at least.

>not a significant portion of the budget

These are my and our fucking tax dollars. I want every single fucking cent audited, I don't really care how big or small a portion this is of the whole budget. Americans get audited by the IRS down to their dirty laundry on a common basis, the government should face the same from the people.
The fundamentals are proven (energy arbitrage, grid services, grid forming, all with battery storage). In Australia, the economics are very favorable considering high rooftop solar penetration rates. The trial will be successful, the debate is how successful.
Great job on the design and the aspirations here. I don't know that I understand the value prop though. Is there value in having reddit users arbitrarily ranked? What's the end use by the user? Is the goal for the user to leverage the connection and reach out directly? Does frequent posting / using the targeted keywords actually equate to being an expert or just someone that posts a lot? I'd argue that it's probably the opposite.
The article doesn't mention a key aspect of literate programming: publishing a code chunk at a different point in the document than where it is executed. This is possible in Quarto and should probably be added to that article for completeness. An answer on [stack overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76278117/how-to-achieve-...) explains how to do so.

No. By jargon I just mean a specialized vocabulary. In this case the 'jargon' is terms that we've accumulated over the years to describe HN and how we moderate it.

Edit: but see what I wrote at the very end there about somatically-oriented trauma therapies. I wouldn't call that a "specific religion or group" but it's at least a subculture and that may be what you meant? In any case, I've spent a lot of time in that subculture and it has informed what I wrote there.

Nah.

- Normally, just deleting /nix gets you 95% of the way back to normal.

- If you want a bulletproof removal, the determinate systems Nix installer saves a file with a list of all the operations it made during installation so that it can be cleanly removed.

- If you want to stop home-manager from hooking into your shell without completely removing Nix, there's a separate uninstall command for that.
> More importantly, Browsers and HTML are never deprecated.

Browsers are, and HTML is on v5 and has deprecated things.

And using JS definitely can be deprecated too.

"Just raw HTML" is an odd statement when it's obviously not.

And the if some markdown and JS are ok, why not some CSS too?
> This doesn’t seem obviously true.

Is this kind of "casting doubt" some kind of cheat code that suspends all disbelief?

Anyway, yes it does seem absolutely obviously true that if you want to reproduce intelligence you must (at least at first) simulate it.
MP Minerals got their magnet plant going. Good.

MP Minerals operates the Mountain Pass, CA rare earths mine. This was the largest rare earths mine in the world at one time. After several shutdowns and two bankruptcies due to low rare earth prices, MP Minerals bought the mine in 2017 and had it producing ore in 2020. The mine already had a "beneficiation" plant, where raw ore goes in and a mix of rare earth elements, plus lots of unwanted tailings, come out. Unlike the plants in China, they have a process that doesn't require huge settlement ponds and vast amounts of water, so it doesn't create too much of a mess. It's mostly a mechanical process, and processes huge volumes of ore, yielding a much smaller volume of concentrate.

What comes out of the benficiation plant needs more separation. That had to be sent to China to be refined, because there were no plants to do the separation in the US. So MP Minerals got the US Department of Defense to fund a separation plant at Mountain Pass. This separates the different rare earths. It's mostly a chemical process. Again, what comes out is a lot less volume than goes in. The Mountain Pass separation plant has been working for a few years now.

What comes out of the separation plant needs more purification and alloying. That's what the new plant in Texas does. That's a modest sized facility in an industrial park. What comes out is metal ready to be formed into magnets. That completes the supply chain.

Owning the whole supply chain insulates MP Minerals from trouble in the middle stages. Such as China's 2024 ban on export of rare earth processing technology.[1] Now that they have the whole supply chain working, they can increase production if desired. It's much easier to duplicate a plant than make a new one for a new process.

I recommend checking out Gill Carvalho (https://www.youtube.com/@NutritionMadeSimple). He helped me realize that nutrition science isn’t a controversial as it would seem from reading the popular press or the occasional study showing that bacon and Oreo cookies are good for your heart. It took five or ten videos to get a feel for how real scientists interpret new information. He explains the relative power of different types of scientific evidence, etc. Good stuff. He covers the Omega-3 AFib connection. If I remember correctly, Omegas-3s improve several cardiovascular risk factors, but also increase the risk of AFib. So, depending on your current situation, you may want to increase or decrease your intake. Deficiency is definitely bad, but you can also overdo it. I decided that sardines a few times a week is probably safer for me than the fish oil capsules I was taking daily.
The tradeoff in SingleStore is interesting. By default and unlike eg postgres, parameterized queries are planned ignoring the values of the parameters. This allows caching the compiled query but prevents adapting the query plan - for the example in the post SingleStore would pick one plan for both queries.

But you can opt out of this behaviour by wrapping each parameter in NOPARAM (https://docs.singlestore.com/cloud/reference/sql-reference/c...).
