Calling it a valid paradox is questionable, there’s a little mathematical sleight of hand required for the particle to actually stop in finite time. It doesn’t work for say particle sliding up a sphere.

To work the curvature of the dome is infinite is at the apex, which then breaks many things. There’s a lot of disagreements around this paradox and much older related examples because Newtonian physics is somewhat ill defined: https://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/8833/1/dome_v3.pdf

> So, it's not possible for me to legally buy books from them

Lol of course it is, you just convinced yourself that stealing was a better option.

Get on with Amazon support and tell them that you’ve been a loyal customer for a decade and have a Kindle that no longer authenticates but want to continue buying books from them.

If they don’t offer you a free Kindle, tell them you want one for free. I’ve done this a few times successfully when a Kindle broke outside of the warranty period.
It definitely can, I decided not answer that.

For example, Microsoft has thrown away all their C code on Pluton CPU firmware and replaced it with Rust.

Likewise Google has been shipping Rust on Linux kernel downstream fork on Android for several versions now, regardless of upstream drama.

And any recent Windows 11 version runs Rust kernel code, every single time anything on the screen, after the GDI regions handling C kernel code has been rewriten in Rust.

The cargo cult that C is the be all, end all of systems programming gets tiresome after a few decades.
NIH's 15% Indirect Spending Cuts Hurt Hard Tech Startups
If it helps, I went for the elegant all in one PCB version (dutifully replicating the e-paper driver schematic from Waveshare). I had to learn a fair bit about how to specify inductors (not something my similarly basic EE background covered much of).

I somehow put a short on the design so my JLCPCB PCBA order is worthless. The short only appears when soldering the ESP32 down and I’ve tried three different boards with three different ESP32 C6 modules and it’s present in all of them.

I would have been much better off prototyping with LEGO parts first.
EVs are heavier than similar ICE vehicles, but they also have regenerative braking, which greatly reduces wear on the brake pads. I suspect EVs produce much less particulate pollution from brake pads, but somewhat more from their tires.
Any way to collapse a thread? This is the one thing that's driving me nuts with the regular Bluesky interface, I want to skip past a thread and it's not easy to do. BS is doing threaded replies, but without a good interface for it.
From the article it seems like they are considering a 'creator garden' model like patreon.

Ex: you like podcast/streamer/whatever Y. You pay to support Y (via reddit). Y has a paid section of the 'official' subreddit for subscribers. If reddit could figure out a way to provide hosting for Y... or some other kinda value add... it isn't the worst idea? I mean why use patreon, if your fans already have a community on reddit? Plus less friction is always nice for the subscribers. A paying user who logs in can see the 'public' and 'paid' portions of the sub at the same time.

I'm not on either, but supposedly using the patreon app is kinda meh. Private discords seems better, but if your already have a userbase discussing your work on reddit, why not?

I honestly think the biggest issue is the reddit brand. Most people now see reddit as "that one place you get user generated answer from google". Or still see it as "where the insufferable folks are". But that isn't universal. I suppose reddit doesn't have to eat all of patreon's lunch, just some.

(I don't have reddit, patreon, or discord accounts, so...)
Millions of people doing admin/app/enterprise dashboards disagree.
Sounds like you’re the one person in the world that has figured it all out. What are you waiting for?
There's a quote... I think it was Kissinger, but I can't find it now. "Don't issue an order unless you're prepared to back it up with force."

Am I the only one who read this headline to mean that rats were causing global warming at first?

I had to do a double take on this one
Show HN: My customer uses Anydesk for remote IoT devices. So I got an idea
My customer is owning IoT devices for like, 10k of them.

And when there's a problem with production devices. They're currently need to use Remote desktop tool to manually fix the problem. And sometime it can happen with almost 1k devices at the same time. So their whole operation team will be on fire that week.

I got an idea of building tool to automate these works. But it's gotta be flexible enough to fit all of their cases. And easy enough for op team to use.

So I decided to make a software that do literally nothing more than running pure shell script for them.

The idea is that I try to make it have no abstraction layer at all. And focus more on running script efficiently.

I actually build demo prepared for presenting them. Any review will help me a lot honestly.
Show HN: I created a media player with AI-generated subtitles for Windows
Hello HN.
I created a video player for Windows, specialized for language learning.

It can generate subtitles in real time using OpenAI Whisper.
It can also generate subtitles from any online videos.

It is free and open source.

I would very much like to get feedback, Thanks.

Nothing that Microsoft is demanding like the 10->11 upgrade, as I recall.

Maybe from Windows 3 to 95/98, but I remember (perhaps incorrectly) that moving to 95/98 and/or 7 was pretty stock experience.

It is very popular in gamedev space whenever using C# as a high-performance scripting language.

Three-way plan to divide the world in three. Trump, Putin, Xi. Sounds familiar.

Financial Times, archived article [0]

Canada, Trump and the new world order

Real short summary:

> Focusing American power on its own hemisphere would allow Trump, in other words, to square many circles: to make America great again by making America’s imperial footprint smaller, to reduce the tax burden on the rich by cutting into the apparatus that a global imperium required.

So there it is. Give Europe to Putin, the rest of Asia (and presumably Africa) to Xi, and give most of the defense budget (and education and health care) money to the rich.

Confirmed Thursday. [1]

Defense stocks drop after Trump says Pentagon spending could be halved

> "At some point, when things settle down, I'm going to meet with China and I'm going to meet with Russia, in particular those two, and I'm going to say there's no reason for us to be spending almost $1 trillion on the military ... and I'm going to say we can spend this on other things," Trump said.

> "When we straighten it all out, then one of the first meetings I want to have is with President Xi of China and President Putin of Russia, and I want to say let's cut our military budget in half. And we can do that, and I think we'll be able to do that," he added.

Absolutely. Additional benefits on RasPi's is the lower power usage which makes the power capacity folks in the datacenter happy. They are also cheap enough every DC can have two of them so that application and system logs do not drift even if there is a prolonged network outage. There are PDU's that can switch between A and B side power for single power supply devices like these.

This may or may not be connected to the recent strong tremors in Santorini.

What I want to know is who named that thing "Kolumbo". That's not a Greek name. We got so much prime material for Greek-mythology inspired names of volcanoes. e.g. "Charybdis" would fit right in.
We're damaging our future, for what?

> One high-level researcher who spoke on the condition of anonymity said that the NIH has effectively shut down a highly competitive intramural research program for undergraduate degree holders before they start graduate or medical school. It’s responsible for the next generation of leaders in biomedical sciences, the researcher said: “These are the best and the brightest to get their training and become world class scientists to compete with China.” The program had about 1,600 people in it last year; more than 1,000 positions will not be filled, the person said.
Tangential, and I am reluctant to share this in an important thread about loss and grief, but an occasional hobby of mine is finding an interesting headstone during my travels and researching the story.

Everything is expensive but we have to start everything with something, then explore further to improve.
> Should they be? Well…

You're so close to getting the point here. ;P
This is a sign of the beginning of the end for them. When you’re rotten to the core you do things like this instead of actually innovating and creating new great products. It doesn’t end well long term.
In cities such as Copenhagen, it's very common to see parents transporting small children (and a large number of pets from what I saw) using cargo-bikes.

Not having universal healthcare seems like a strange argument against active travel as it's well known that active travel can drastically improve people's health and reduce the need for healthcare - it would seem more important to choose to look after your health if you can't rely on healthcare being available if you lose your job etc.

Your disability point is perfectly valid, although some disabilities make it easier to cycle than to walk. However, if we can get as many able-bodied people to use active travel when feasible, it'll clear vehicles from the roads and make it easier for the people that rely on their cars for mobility.
I think there's an opportunity for an "architecture inspired by bluesky" reddit alternative. The reddit CEO recently said they intend to start charging for premium features, which may drive a large number of people away from the platform.
>Should get paid? Or should clean it up?

The entity who caused the pollution should be responsible for paying to clean it up. For logistical purposes it might make sense to tax at the point of production/sale rather than actual emission, eg. taxes at gas stations rather than some sort of monitoring system on every car.

> The problem is this is energy and resources that could be spent on actually solving the problem at its source instead of finding ways to maintain the status quo.

If the alternatives are actually cheaper, the market will naturally work itself out, because polluters would be incentivized to switch. Nobody uses plastic utensils in place of reusable ones, not because the government banned them, but because everyone knows the latter are so much cheaper.
Carbon capture is one of the most absurd ideas I've ever heard, given the array of already available options.
My tech team is using LLMs to build our product, leveraging them for tasks.
I work in cloud consulting with a focus on app development. But I can do almost any vertical except Big Data/ML (learning that now). I use LLMs in every step of the process.

Anytime we talk to the client on a call we use Gong for text transcription (https://help.gong.io/docs/see-a-call-transcript). After the call is transcribed, it summarizes the call, gives you items to follow up and has chapters as the conversation topic changes.

Once I get all of the documentation, statements of work, any artifacts that we come up with, etc, I use Google’s NotebookLM. I put all of the artifacts in it including transcripts before I came in the project. You can then ask it questions and it will give you answers either with citations to your sources that you included.

I use ChatGPT along with NotebookLM to write the assessments and requirement docs along with a project plan. I’ve been doing this type of writing for awhile before LLMs were a thing so I do a lot of prompt iteration and editing so it sounds like me and not “AI Slop” (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42909042).

After the project is signed, I then become a tech lead.

ChatGPT has been well trained on the AWS SDK for various languages, Terraform , the CDK etc. I use it to write scripts and Lambdas involving AWS. I don’t get a chance to do as much hands on coding as I use to between working with sales and as a tech lead.

I once used it to create a simple Hello World API. I was demonstrating to a Java shop how to deploy APIs to Lambda, ECS (AWS’s Docker orchestration service) and EC2 via Ci/CD. I was upfront with then about not knowing Java. I am a c#/Node/Python guy.

All of the tools I mentioned are specifically approved by my company and we use GSuite as our corporate standard and I think we added the pro version of NotebookLM to each seat a couple of weeks ago.
Hi HN! I'm the author of this service. Thank you for your support.

There may have been some temporary downtime due to residential proxy running out of bandwidth. I have purchased additional bandwidth. (I run this service for free.)

There also may be some errors with particular videos because they are not accessible in certain regions. For now all requests to YouTube originate from United States, but open to change in the future to some kind of round-robin or fallback system.

I know it's not perfect. I developed the tool originally for my own use. It's open source and I'm open to any patches or pull requests.

Enjoy!
Would you be willing to post a short blurb about how you did it. I spent the last two days trying to do this. Just listing the software you used would be helpful.
> to at least some people in the USA

It is not "at least some" and this isn't something to downplay.
The Volt was a much better idea. It could be an all electric car—at any speed—for 50 miles or so.
Sure, it's not a given that a conversation with a spouse will be at a "we can complete each-others sentences" level every time, or even most of the time. My wife and I are pretty lucky in that regard.

And to bring it full circle, the LLMs aren't going to know where you're going in all cases. I've had REALLY poor luck getting LLMs (admittedly, a year ago) to help me with Python Textual UIs. I don't understand Textual enough, and they both don't seem to understand it well enough, and I think they also have a better understanding of archaic use of Textual (a fast moving target I get the impression).

My wife and I literally just had a conversation of shared knowledge: "I want to get back into the habit of doing more exercise. Those things like Pikmin and that other thing." "Yeah, I know what you mean." "You know what I'm talking about?" "Yeah, but I can't remember the name." "You know the one?" "Yeah, the insurance exercise incentive one, something-go or something." "Yeah, that's the one."

Without going into too much details, could you share some niche areas? And what kind of tech adoption are missing?
I see. Maybe we're getting too hung up on a prescribed meaning of the word "ethics" rather than the larger meaning of what we're actually saying to each other.

Your original comment talks about the distinction between "legitimate" and "illegitimate" exploits, and the juxtaposition of ethics and exploits. My point is that this framing is a misunderstanding of speed running norms - there isn't actually a distinction between "legitimate" and "illegitimate" exploits. And this undermines the poignancy of the juxtaposition. I even refute your assertion that speed running is fundamentally about exploiting - some of the most fun categories or glitchless.

I assumed you meant the original comment in the scope of behaviors that could be triggered by the game's code. So it seemed to me that there was a misunderstanding: "illegitimate exploits" simply isn't a thing in this scope, given honesty around the recording.

But now I see you make the distinction "disclosed exploits are allowed, while non-disclosed exploits are disallowed". Yes, lying is a exploit, in a larger sense. It wasn't clear to me that this was the intended original meaning. So sure, in this scope it is valid to talk about illegitimate exploits.

Frankly, I'm still not sure this actually was your original intended meaning, and it feels like I got strawmanned into an argument about the semantics of the words "ethics" and "legitimacy", when my original intent was to add clarity around the culture of speed running. Any further debate about the philosophy of language is getting too far off topic.

Oh, and your edit about "children" is rude.
I could not find how to install it on Linux.
A fair number of people do own bikes. But almost certainly the majority of people don't want to own a second vehicle--focused on transportation, rather than recreation--when they need/want a primary, probably ICE, vehicle anyway.
> Think about it - if these formations were not leakproof on geological scale, there wouldn't be any oil and gas for us to extract in the first place.

This is survivor bias. We only see the sites where it didn't leak too much, and extract from it. The sites that leaked, we don't hear about them (no oil to extract). In fact, a quick search shows that there are many leaking sites (both on land and under the oceans). The argument you present is a case of survivor bias, especially on the time scale of multiple millions years.
because there are generalized algorithms in use as well. The 'show ad' logic that is used at specific points along the way.
Even with a zillion Jira clones, Jira is doing quite well and growing. Maybe one day some OpenJira clone thing will be dominant but it could be 10-20 years, which is about how long it took Postgres to rise to relevance alongside Oracle
Indeed, and a lot of the time the more casual players often bring stereos or speakers to the courts and blast music.

It's incredibly annoying. A park near me tore up one tennis court and erected 2 pickle courts, and the people that play on those pickle courts are loud and obnoxious and blast music all the time.

Note: I am a lifelong tennis player. I detest pickleball. Is it great to see new people playing a sport and getting active? Yes. Does it have to come at the expense of proper etiquette of sports that have been around much longer? No, but it currently is.
> If your relationship with me involves any kind of labor for you then it's not a good relationship

Depends on your definition of labour, but this doesn't make sense to me. Relationships require conscious effort (labour) to maintain. I've been in a relationship where I was too passive, didn't end well. The hard part is finding a balance, where one person is not doing too much or too little.
"Assuming all other factors remain constant" is doing a lot of (largely unjustified) work there. Regen braking massively reduces the amount of friction-brake usage in EVs, to the point where brakes will need to be repaired due to under use.
Is latitude even a strong corelate of rat population?
Thanks for that perspective and detail, it makes a lot of sense. The first link also has some very nice establishing context for the environment. I'd still love to read the technical journey of the developer because I agree it is very impressive.
Those were chosen for actual filters against the term suicide and death and sex, as instituted by TikTok(I think).
My EV does not brake, redirects the power to a motor to act as a dynamo. In exceptional cases you can brake but for emergency braking and such.
What you say is a lie, not sure if by ignorance or malice.
IMO this is worse because the DRM books are limited to their app, and so completely locked away in their control. No possibility of reading on eink devices.

what kind of server did you Host it on? local Desktop? and how did it manage traffic and bandwidth?
Most people aren't aware of ARPA-H but the research it funds is important and potentially highly impactful. It takes a DARPA approach of funding "moonshot" type research in the domain of medicine/health. These are projects that are normally very hard to fund because they are trying to solve hard problems rather than result in some immediate commercial application. But a necessary part of the hard science that lays the foundation for future technological breakthroughs. Very sad to see this laid to wasted by some idiots.

> Head of ARPA-H and Biden appointee Renee Wegrzyn told staff Friday morning that she was fired, a source told STAT. The agency, established in 2022 by Biden to work with the private sector on breakthrough medical technology, employs less than 200 workers. Because of the agency’s newness, most employees are considered probationary and could be targeted for layoffs.
> very limited 250W/15mph pedelec class of e-bikes

Meanwhile in the Wild West (a.k.a. the United States) we have children hurling 100+ lb 750W throttle-controlled motorcycles (I'm sorry, "e-bikes") at up to 28 mph on mixed-use pedestrian trails. The best we can do is put up plastic signs on the trail begging them to slow down and be careful around other people.
Storing the CO2 after it's been separated is the easy part. Already CO2 is regularly injected underground to enhance oil extraction, and the CO2 sequestered is much greater than the CO2 released by burning the oil.
It might take a lot of money. Circumstantial evidence indicates that some of the most influential mods are being secretly paid by nation states to promote certain narratives. In a few cases they might even be direct employees of state security services using fake online identities. These are on subs for politics and culture where there are no real "experts" as such.
The first two examples are feasible, the last not so much.

You need extra energy to power the CCS, and to store the captured CO2.

That's not practical on any airliner. One kilo of jet fuel produces about 3.5x its weight in CO2.

The solution to aviation is "fly less", also "don't air-ship fresh produce which can be moved by sea or road" (and if it can't, don't ship it).

>Who's going to pay for carbon capture? Definitely not the current polluters who benefit from fossil fuel prices that don't include the cost to clean that up.

Carbon emitters through carbon pricing schemes. They already cover more than 20% of worldwide emissions, with China joining a few years ago.
