High-level though: looked at the Wikipedia page for Crayola colors, selected my favorites, put a filter over them in Affinity Designer, made more edits (have to research my notes to figure out details), and eventually landed at these color stops.

It took a long time to settle on yellow/orange because I've never been able to get a good yellow I was happy with, specifically.

Yeah, we'll have one guy who like, who like, makes bread. A-and one guy who like, l-looks out for other people's safety.
Beyond personal preferences i think there's great value in having tools that are that stable around.

There are plenty of legacy systems around that needs to be maintained and if you can use an efficient and familiar tool that still works in that context that should help such use cases greatly.
Have you tried running any readability analysis on this? Feels like the contrast on the background and foreground is too low to make for comfortable (long term) reading.
It'll usually be listed in the BIOS upgrade guide. I've only ever seen the "weird recovery methods" on more performance-oriented mainboards - your RGB-heavy "gamer" boards tend to have some sort of recovery method. I don't know of any major OEMs who have such a thing. For a Thinkpad, though, I would wager good money that someone has directions out there for how to do it with a SPI flash clip - BIOS modding Thinkpads is pretty common, and most of the more intensive mods can't be done without an external writer.
Note: this is about open source licenses, not wisdom in general

> After clarifying basic notions and when trying to define additional reasonable license requirements, which are named here “7 pillars of wisdom”, our purpose is to assess how far a relatively recent license, the European Union Public Licence addresses these requirements, not by adding yet another regulatory layer, but according to the principles of good governance. Why the EUPL in this context? Because it is already the default license applied to the European Commission software distributions and because it is the license that all interconnected national repositories will have to propose (without exclusivity) according to the European Interoperability Act. This is reason enough to improve our knowledge of its provisions.
Ah, it's "the guy"!

AI has become political and Google is a very political company nowadays, i wouldn’t take this at face value
JavaBeans and EJB became things because Microsoft was eating everyone's lunch with their component paradigm, COM, on the client side and were making inroads into server-side enterprise computing as well. With COM, you could write components that just plugged right in to an application, in any language. Java, despite being ostensibly object-oriented all the way down, didn't have an answer for this until JavaBeans emerged and then EJB for the server side. You have to remember that Microsoft had a relentless focus on developers building stuff on top of their platform. That image of Steve Ballmer sweating like a mule and chanting "Developers! Developers! Developers!" wasn't just a meme, it was an indicator of the entire company's direction. Nobody could match them at the time. From Internet Explorer to Visual Studio, 70%-80% of Microsoft's monopoly was built in simply outcompeting everyone else. If people were locked into Windows, it was because it just made sense from a business standpoint.

But yeah, I built business apps with just Tomcat and no J2EE components and it was fine.

They don't have backup generators? Ever grocery store bigger than a radioshack ive ever been to has backup generators specifically because the potential for losses is so damn high, not to mention all the extra work that has to be paid out to move all those goods twice only to still be risking spoilage. Even the little off-brand grocer serving a town 900 nearby has backup generators, and they are right on a main power supply line so basically have zero outages because it is top priority.
No, it didn't. Vim rarely changes defaults, if at all, but it can add settings to example rc files.
DEI did feel a lot like paying off debt by getting a new credit card. Equal competition doesn’t mean equal footing though. We will eventually need something to replace it and I hope that doesn’t go worse.
Overlay hundred-year-old British maps on modern satellite imagery
The National Library of Scotland has an impressive web tool that allows you to overlay detailed historical Ordnance Survey (OS) maps (dating back to 1841 for this instance) onto modern satellite imagery. The interface lets you adjust transparency and blend between past and present landscapes.

Here is the tool overlaid on Bath.

> I don't reccomend using it with the Saleae Logic software

The Saleae software is designed for use only with Saleae products. Anything else is a clone.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they intentionally made the software frustrating and buggy to use with clones. The software (which is great) is funded by hardware purchases.
Hey HN,

I’m working on a personalized supplement recommendation platform. The idea is simple: most people take supplements blindly or based on generic advice. I want to change that and build something that will genuinely help people with tailored recommendation. I have many ideas in mind, but I am in the validation phase right now before I go full in

A few things I’d love feedback on:

Does this idea resonate with you?

What would make you actually use something like this?

Any red flags or concerns?

I’m in the early stages, building out the site and an app with only a few features (MVP). If this interests you, I’d love for you to try the quiz and share your thoughts.

Would really appreciate any brutally honest feedback. Thanks!
You know, I was going to poke fun of you at first, but I've had the thought and notion several times that it would be so nice if I could share equipment with other people physically close to me (neighborhood, area, etc). Most of the equipment that I do have or own sits unused most of the time, and I feel it would be nice for others to benefit from it as well at a reduced cost since we could all share it somehow.

In 2004 John Kerry lost the election due to two things. One of them was his support for gay marriage being legal. Stupid commericals like this one were made:

https://youtu.be/4AzLrn5JVIo?si=bYtAbriIbp0AVrxP

Obama was adamant that he did not support legislation to legalize gay marriage. When SCOTUS legalized it he was caught off guard but he and other Democrats were able to then fully embrace the issue. The nation’s view on the topic rapidly changed and now it is a nonissue for most Republicans.
This is also a rug pull for many international researchers working at google.

I'm not particularly worried that you would be unable to recognize patterns or rounding. Sorry you confused your hypothetical self.

And for the record, since we're talking about hundred digit numbers, as an IEEE float that would mean 23 exponent bits and you'd have to go below 10e-4000000 before it rounds to zero. Or 32 exponents bits if you follow some previous software implementations.

You missed a 4. You are trying to say 1/(4atan(1/5)-atan(1/239)-pi/4) is a division by zero.
On the other hand 1/(atan(1/5)-atan(1/239)-pi/4) is just -1.68866...
I'm genuinely curious how you know which ones are which. Is it indicated like on their badge?
Ok, we've replaced it with a perhaps more representative phrase from the first paragraph.
3-4 weeks is about where I draw the line. And I've talked to others who have said similar.

I don't disagree with your last part though. Never tried it but I can easily imagine that once you get into a "what's this home thing mode?" there's no hard stop necessarily.
Is this really the type of discourse on HN now?
In theory, because of unflushed cache.
> I think it needs a replacement for serious cloud and AI-related tasks.

Why? I use it for both and it is expressly excellent at them. With configuration and automation frameworks on top like NixOS or k8s, you can build just about anything.
Yes. Overdrive and Libby are available elsewhere.
We are thrown into the world without any say in the matter; welcome to life.
Being a DEI hire does not make the hire discriminatory. I think you don’t understand the issue.

I gather you assume any person of color or female hire is a “DEI” hire and by that you mean someone who isn’t qualified. This assumption is quite stupid.
Some people think UX designers are useless. But they know that kind of stuff and how to make it right.

What’s amazing about Turo is how they just get around the law and regulation to screw everyone but themselves

How? They don’t rent airport space they use existing lots. Hawaii airports are full all the time because Turo cars are parked in them waiting for passengers

Fuck Turo
Hey, Anfal here. I am actually the author of this article. I have had some really good discussion with a few really intelligent fellows I know and they tie very deeply into deepseek more. I'll create a post about it soon.
> I thought summarization was a task AI was considered good at.

I found this article was a good explanation why this isn’t the case:

https://ea.rna.nl/2024/05/27/when-chatgpt-summarises-it-actu...

TLDR: it all comes back to the same principle: LLMs are predicting words based on their training. Which means they are not actually summarizing ideas from documents (or whatever other task we give them).
How about “fuck you NVIDIA”?
Yet you are a significant beneficiary to it, ergo society has claim to you.
seconded. i used a lot of photoshop CS2 and CS3, as well as gimp from the same time period. for the most part i felt they were on-par with each other at the time.
This seems like magic, but I can't find a research paper that explains how it works. And "expert-level analysis across a range of complex subject matters." is quite the promise. Does anyone have a link to a research paper that describes how they achieve such a feat? Any experts compared deep research to known domains? I would appreciate accounts from existing experts on how they perform.

In the meantime, I hope the bean counters are keeping track of revenue vs LLM use.
You should definitely give atuin a try. It addresses all these things really well.
There hasn’t been a singular ruling class throughout human history. But if another organism competes with us for apex status and wins, then that will change the nature of the ruling class. The ruling class, thus far, in different societies over time has consisted of people of different cultures.
Very good point. I would also add and I believe that is why we have insurance for almost any and everything nowadays as well. Society/industry/capitalism (all these larger systems than ourselves) are mostly all really just a safety net with long term survival and procreation in mind.
Executive orders aren't laws
I once worked at a job that had a couple dusty old Windows 98 machines, because it was the last version of Windows supported by the control software for their expensive machine.
Just a note that this is an optional add-on that I don't use.
DEI is not about preferential hiring. It’s the opposite. It’s about broadening the perspectives so that one group that has enjoyed historical preferential hiring no longer gets preferential treatment.
Some people are not so horrifying that they would start a business with liabilities of that type. Any of us can hook up an uncensored LLM right now to a lot of apps, but it's very dangerous to release. There are greedy people that don't care and are doing it.

If you are going to do these things, you must go into it with both eyes open. Some people are not ethically qualified to run businesses, but they will still have tons of success in it because they stick to the raw standard of $$$ accumulated.

The broader standard for success (well rounded citizen) in society is more robust. Morality and ethics are part of it. Many parents don't talk to their kids, or their parents never talked to them, and the cycle continued. Many of these people can reach very very old ages as half a human.

> Uber or Lyft are more convenient for the customer

Gross understatement!

1) You can find a cab wherever (almost) and whenever (24x7) - you don't have to hail a cab for minutes/hours (even worse was not knowing when/if the cab would even arrive).

2) Much safer. Emergency support + seeing the route on GPS (can see the path on the driver's uber app) + rating system.

3) Better behaviour, enforced by rating system. Yes, it's not perfect, but much much better than cabs. Cab drivers were regularly abusive, knowing there were no repurcussions. Unfortunately, humans only behave when there's consequences.

4) No scamming vulnerable un-informed people. Cabs were known for scamming foreigners or un-informed people.
I can point out a few more things.
Calling it `more convenient` is a massive understatement.

> but the drivers are being abused by Uber or Lyft. Which is less than ideal.

This can be fixed by regulation. Just because a new technology brought a new problem, that doesn't mean we should discard the technology and go to its worse predecessor.
Remember : there is a reason the new technology took over its predecessor.

I think we can have both : the benefits of digital ride-share + good regulation for drivers to ensure they can maintain their livelihood.

PS : that's until driverless waymo/tesla take over everything...
>5% different, almost everyone is online.

We at best get 70% participation in voter representation. Online wise, I'd wager we get at best 20% "public" participation in terms of who bothers to participate online as opposed to lurking. And that 20% is spread amongst hundreds of subjects.

And we know these aren't created equal. The internet is disproportionately on the younger side, is very slightly biased by "middle class", educated workers, and the gender demographics vary site to site, despite being overall even (e.g. disproportionately male on Reddit, female on Pintrest). There will definitely be a different resuts online compared to making physical surveys.
DEI stands for "diversity, equity and inclusion", discriminatory hiring is a pretty extreme misinterpretation of those three words. It's no doubt true that somebody out there decided that the way to achieve the aim of a diverse/equitable/inclusive workplace was discriminatory hiring, but it's not the only way to get there, and it's not how most workplaces were going about it.
DEI will be back under a different name because it's a problem that needs to be solved. It's like the huge backlash against affirmative action.
OpenAI: Competitive Programming with Large Reasoning Models
I tried it on a number of topics I care about. It’s definitely more “an intern clicking every link on first two pages of google search, unable to discern what’s important and what’s spam” than promised “expert level analysis”.
Fully agreed, someone actually mentioned that to me on reddit and I modified the content + added a disclaimer on top of the article.

> the drivers are being abused by Uber or Lyft.

I still don't get this one. You don't have to sign a long-term contract to drive for these companies. They don't own you. If you try it and it sucks more than working somewhere else then stop doing it. Your leverage is your ability to say no. But if it's better than your other alternatives then why isn't the complaint about the alternatives which are somehow even worse?
The problem with MBA’s is that they don’t value what decent men and women bring to the table.

I’d rather pay double for an honest mechanic. Asymmetric information requires a ton of resources to protect against, or you can just know the person you’re dealing with is honest.
Maybe an example dashboard or something that is GUI-heavy, to show off how your colors interact with each other?

For the price this small thing is really awesome.

I think the posted title need to be improved and updated to include function or waveform generator instead of just More.

Perhaps because of that most of the comments here just focusing in the oscilloscope part.

As any who has dabbled with electronics know your typical workbench is normally consist of oscilloscope, logic analyzer, waveform generator, digital multi-meter and power supply normally 12V DC.

It seems to me this little $18 hybrid signals scope/generator can do almost all of these functions, and since they are integrated on the same device you don't need to synchronize them which is a big plus.

For old school HP/Agilent/Keysight electronics workbench discrete solutions can easily cost tens of thousands dollars, no kidding.

The modern version of this is the Digilent Discovery Pro 3000/4000/5000 series with price tags of several thousands dollars. They are described as the All-In-One High-Speed Mixed Signal Oscilloscope, Function Generator, Power Supply, and DMM. The cheaper version of this Digilent Discovery 1/2/3 series that cost around $400. But the latter is quite bandwidth and resources limited thus more comparable with the Flea-Scope [1].

Wonder if it's their skin tone or their accent? Maybe it's something else completely nondiscriminatory like their IQ or which university they went to.
Students learning about real numbers. Yes seriously.

Unlike software engineers who have already studied IEEE754 numbers, you can't expect a middle school student to know concepts like catastrophic cancellation. But a middle school student wants to poke around with trigonometric functions and pi to study their properties, but a true computer algebra system might not be available to them. They might not understand that a random calculator app doesn't behave correctly because it's not using the same kind of numbers discussed in their math class.

>We always lose something when evolving, that's okay.

no, it's not necessarily okay. Nothing to do about it, and we can't change a thing , but we're not guaranteed more success in the future, and plenty of genetic mishaps occur that aren't okay -- so not every change is guaranteed to be 'okay'.

>Which parts are you referring to? The part where you kill a guy with a rock if he looks at your wife funny?

you can frame it both ways.

You say we lost the ability to bludgeon each other with rocks. (we haven't..)

I say we lost the freedom to live without social caveats like "...as long as it doesn't disrupt the liberty of another person.".

I am happy with our trajectory, but it takes a supreme blind eye to ignore that we've taken forks in the road that we can't walk back on; and i'd contend that most of what we're talking about here has nothing to do with biological evolution and everything to do with social evolution and progress.

Many of us still have the drive towards violence upon sleights, this hasn't been somehow removed by evolution -- social evolution and culture however came about and had some strong words to say about murder and what shall happen to murderers.

Social evolution used the traits of self-preservation and bent the blade backwards to provide compensation towards society for an actors bad motives. Murder didn't somehow get bred out, it became a penalized act -- those with self-interest then began to avoid penalized acts. We still have plenty of murder.

Furthermore, parent that you are replying to explicitly says that we'll be blind to what we've missed. They're absolutely right. You can oversimplify that statement into meaning cave-men headbashing each other, but there is a lot more in that statement than you seem to be willing to unpack.

We had a field where any form of philosophy, governance, or religion could have taken hold and we chose a single trajectory for our future. Of course we had to do that, that's how things work -- but the field of choices initially was so immense that it seems in poor taste to presume what parent must have meant was just barbarian violence.

Why not be altruistic in interpretation here and presume the parent wanted to speak on the difference between sedentary and nomadic life-styles?

Time and time again the issues our society faces prove to us that we have yet to find an optimal way to do things. No one can really say whether or not we're getting there faster or slower than another path would have taken us..
You mention elsewhere that you used this on a bunch of your own projects, are there any you can share?
