What drove you to switch to Obsidian? I'm considering it myself and have been playing around with Obsidian the past couple of days after about 4 years of Joplin, 2 of which with a self hosted Joplin Server.

I'm tired of basic features being missing and extensions breaking because they're no longer maintained, and basic features like linking between notes while writing a note not being built in.
The only way to even attempt to thwart climate change was to make green technologies economically viable. We have gone a long way with that; but we are not there yet. This shift could very well be the last nail on the coffin.

Another victim of the extreme politicisation of issues in the US.

We couldn't have had a worse hegemon. Saddening.
"Blind watchers of the sky" is one of the best presentations of Kepler's and Galileo's oeuvre I have ever read. (I am an astrophysicist, but this book can be read by non-specialists too.)
It’s probably closer to $15-20 for a full charge here but the catch is, a full tank of gas will get you a full solid 450-500 miles of range whereas a full battery on a LR Model Y will likely only get you 250ish, sometimes more sometimes less.
This the perfection, why would you want anything more?

This reads like something out of The Onion. The British Petroleum Company has to refocus on petroleum because they pivoted to something else and it turns out that that cheap energy is wildly profitable.

Maybe the UK government will have to step in and refocus BP on windmills or something.

The schema defines how the DBMS sets up its tables and such, so it does quite a bit imo. And if the schema isn't stored in any doc cause just manually punched in CREATE TABLE once, yeah what you said about creating new docs.

kinda funny that even after that came out and everyone had a laugh nobody really asked if maybe his real contributions on the business side of things are just as illusionary as his gaming accomplishments.

He seems to have a default assumption himself that if left unchecked each IC in his companies and the federal government aren't providing value commiserate with their compensation... and these days when it comes to people involved in politics I just assume based on accumulated evidence that every accusation is a confession.
If you try to sell someone "gravity set to negative height per second squared" and "gravity set to positive height per second squared" as two separate features in your physics engine, they are not going to be impressed.
Yes, you are pretty much correct.
Arkenfox has a good user.js [0] you can use. Each comment tells you what the option their disabling is.

I had been putting one together based on it for newer machines (and it worked great), but just now when I went to look for it, I'm not sure what happened to it. Sorry I can't share mine.

If I recall correctly, you just plop the user.js into your profile. You'll want to do it from a fresh profile* and then any time you want to make a change, you'll make it in user.js instead of about:config. What I believe happens is every time Firefox start, it applies all the configuration options specified in your user.js.

The problem with this is that even seemingly basic, obviously desirable proposals can take years of labor and politicking to get through the committee. See JeanHeyd Meneide's valiant struggle to get an #embed preprocessor directive standardized [1] - it took five years, and I'm pretty sure the C++ equivalent (std::embed) is still in the oven.

When faced with that, it's only natural that people lean hard towards dialects and new languages. They move faster (Rust went from a standing start to 1.0 in ~five years) and offer far more freedom.

> modern late stage capitalism ... selling banner ads to RedHat, and selling mugs and t-shirts

If these are the supposed sins of modern late stage capitalism I say let's have more of it and less of the various types of socialism which the entitled always seem to be pushing as a replacement. I'd rather ignore annoying banner ads and refrain from buying merchandising than stand in a line in a street to a shop selling something, anything, no idea what but there's a shop which has something to sell so people stand in line like they used to do in the worker's and farmer's paradise which was to lead the world revolution to the glorious victory of socialism.

I'll even take the entitled brats kvetching about the sins of the economical order which allows them both the means as well as the free time and freedom to do so. They'd be standing in some line to a shop somewhere, no fruitPhone in their pockets and no way to use it even if they had without having the state come down on them for their sins against the glorious revolution if their purported ideal order were to come to pass because the revolution always eats its own.

BTW, I don't consider slavery to be a form of modern late stage capitalism, it is more related to the primitive origins from which the different *-isms arose. Slavery used to be the norm rather than the exception and in some places in the world it still thrives. It is in the much-maligned West where the strongest movements to abolish it were and are to be found.
by definition any code that is not compiled that is delivered to a client application will be less secure than code that is run completely under your control, you say it needs to be on the client side but I have to admit I have a hard time envisioning where code that is sensitive absolutely HAS to be run in the client (I mean truly sensitive, like validating that this is really your bank account, as opposed to just code you don't want others to take and use)
I'm surprised how many people overlooked the "pedo guy" incident.
Ok so there is no misalignment to begin with?

Producing insecure code isn't misalignment. You told the model to do that.
No that's just basic control and domination of resources that exised eons before humans did. Lots of animals have and guard their "territory" and don't farm. Plenty of human tribes did the same before they had developed agriculture.
This form or efficiency enforcement is already a wildly practiced method in apparel manufacturing. What you need is a performance metric form and a pen and one supervisor to monitor the unit. Additionally a white board in public display with each worker’s hourly output also works.

A better method of efficiency is also commonly practiced by some factories, which is to pay per unit. This practice ties the earning to the output and is far more efficient. Workers do feel in control and can earn 3X - 4X if they were on monthly salary. However this method is skill oriented and many not be practical all the time, plus it can be a little costly.

The assembly line method is a cheaper alternative, since it forfeits the need for every workers to be equally skilled. The downside to this method is that inefficiency can easily creep in.

I read it and it sounded like 100% all natural organic intelligence generated.
It‘s not under-explored at all. Millions of people work in architecture and city planning. Every city has several departments that deal with planning and construction.

It‘s just completely dysfunctional. Architecture professors have focused on “innovation” for 100 years and have achieved little. We still flock to the old, 19th century (or older) city centers and love it. We spend thousands to spend a week or two there on holidays.

Very few modern places exist where this is the case.

In survey after survey, 80% of the people prefer traditional over modern(ist) designs.

So the whole profession has failed, since about the introduction of the Bauhaus.
I can't disagree with that too much, although I have a very special place in my heart for the Intellij's of the world.
Just a reminder, this is the third of many open source releases from DeepSeek that they are willing to release, and that release is a very trivial low bar for them to find optimizations when it is needed.

I guess since the majority here are blown away by the very low-level code involved, it tells me that they're likely not ready to use it or have been stuck on very high level tools that abstract this away.
I like the premise of writing docs in Markdown. Compared to more traditional documentation frameworks (Hugo, Jekyll, Sphinx, MkDocs, etc.), is it fair to say that the main distinction with this one is that it specifically targets PDF rather than HTML?
It’s deceptive by design because there is no reasoning, and humans created it and know this.

That’s approximately 189 ppi, which calls for a 1.5× scaling factor. (For these sorts of devices, 1× should be around 110–140ppi.)

Fractional scaling isn’t great. Windows handles it the best by a large margin (it’s really quite respectable; honestly I’d just call it “not ideal” rather than “not great” if restricting to Windows), and has done for many years. macOS doesn’t even try, but rather downsamples from the next integer, which guarantees it will be atrocious, much worse than a lower-resolution integer-scaled panel for many purposes. Linux can be finicky, but is slowly getting there, though downsampling is still common. (Me, I’ve been using Linux/Sway at 1.5× for the last five years.)

You’d get much better results by increasing density by a third in each direction: 2560×1600 is 252ppi, excellent for a 2× scaling factor. (The effective resolution is thus 1280×800.)
These guys and their black hole harvesting dreams always sound way too optimistic to me.

Agreed. Maybe we're moving toward a world where LLMs do all the searching, and "websites" just turn into data-only endpoints made for AI to consume. That'll have other big implications... Interesting times ahead.
I'm a little surprised that folks here are investing so much time into this app. It's closed source, only available for a non-obious amount, time-limited or subscription-based and lots of details of how it works are missing.

With a FOSS project this would have been expected, but with a ShareWare-style model? Idk..
I'm 66 years old and never saw a Bald Eagle until I was in my 30s. That was near St. Louis along the Mississippi River. Where I live now (the Ozarks) they're common to see and have been for over 30 years. Some years ago I was camping out here on a lake shore and early in the morning there was a pair of Bald eagles sitting together on a limb on the other side of the lake. I couldn't help but stand there and stare at them. After a bit one of them took off and started flying right toward me, and when it got to my side of the lake it swooped down and pick up a dead branch off the shore line and then turn at me, flapped it's wings a couple time and then threw it at me! Then it flew right back to where its mate was and sat back down next it. I couldn't help but think they were both laughing at me.

Last year, about this time of year, I saw my first Golden Eagle. It was trying to snatch one of my hens. Those are truly amazing. By far the biggest bird I've ever seen. And to be so close to it too. I wasn't more than 12ft from it. I waved my arms and screamed at it and it finally let go of the hen and took off. As it took off I saw there was a "murder" of crows sitting in the trees watching us, at least 30-40 of them, and the eagle took off heading their way. As soon as it got close to the them they all took off chasing it, dive bombing it and cawing like mad!

It's truly great to see them, but my experience is you can't trust them.
It depends on your deployment and where your database and app servers and POPs are. If your load balancer is right next to your application server; is right next to your database, you're right. And it's fair to point out that most people have that kind of deployment. However there are some companies, like Google, that have enough of a presence that the L7 load balancer/smart proxy/whatever you want to call it is way closer to you, Internet-geographically, than the application server or the database. For their use case and configuration, your "almost certainly" isn't what was seen emperically.
This is a continuation of a trend for BP, nothing new. They started this bounce back to carbon fuels a few years ago. This is just a continuation of an existing trend that was already announced in public statements. It also has nothing much to do with recent electoral results. Given the choices at the ballot box in the US, there was no way to alter this -- better choices were not on offer. Neither candidate would have led the charge to do the necessary coordinating efforts to get the investments needed.

But I hate Markdown.
For people still reading this (seeing by the upvotes); the way it came to be is that I always thought it was very weird for 'well off' people to do construction themselves if they can pay people for it, until we had our last house renovated; it was in a different country (we move every 6 or so years). We had the best team (everyone said) and we overpaid, but when I checked, I got more upset with how they were doing things and after a while I started helping after they left for the night. This frustrated them but I seemed to like it. So after the basics (the boring breaking + skeleton restoring) were done, we told them we wanted to break the contract. We did the rest ourselves. So now, next to writing code, I try to do some manual stuff 1-2 days every week.
That depends on the activation function. I personally think Layernorm is destroying density (and have some solid evidence for this) but it is in use because there is a lot of missing supporting structure to really help pump data into the weights so it helps so long as we are using simple linear combinations.
I’m no python expert but I’ve written a bit, and indentation has just not been a problem in practice.

You can certainly have an aesthetic or philosophical issue with it, but you said “inconvenient” which is a practical concern.

The other candidates for hegemon are worse IMO. The Soviet Union could have conceivably replaced the US as hegemon, and China might yet do so.

Maybe the EU would be a better hegemon, but never really had the capabilities to take on that role.

It feels like a long term solution would be to use a markdown that is both easy to write (not RTF or XHTML), but has a defined grammar in some standard format (ex: EBNF). Most platform/languages will have a parser and so you can whip up a "renderer" or converter trivially at any point.

The only markup I'm finding with a grammar is MediaWiki (sort of..)

Even Djot doesn't seem to have one. Weird..
Just wanted to say that i found out about shapr3d here on HN through a comment a while back. And– though it does sound dramtic– it changed my life. It got me into CAD modelling without any experience. Which i wouldn't have tried on a computer, but on my ipad, it was so easy and intuitive to get started.

Since then i've designed so many things. From weird furniture ideas to replacement parts for my vacuum up to the mot important 3d models of a device-prototype. It's super fun, intuitive and i think in general the most expensive software subscription i pay for, also hands-down the software that impacted my life the most (as a consumer/user).

Firstly, I am not American.

Secondly, being right of the centrist party doesn't make them far right. The CDU have arguably moved from centre to centre-right but that just makes the AfD plain old normal right. Not hard or extreme or far. Not centre or soft or light. Just right-wing. Not a nasty, dirty, wet right, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy right with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat.

>But anyway, why shouldn't Germans be angry at Musk, a foreign oligarch, using his wealth and influence to help the right-most party?

I don't remember Americans kicking up a fuss over European leaders criticising Trump during his election campaigns. And if they did, they were wrong to do so. We are allowed to have an express opinions about what goes on in other countries including in their elections. It appears to have made almost no difference anyway. How many German people are really going to change their vote because of what an American thinks?

>if Americans want to surrender their government to power drunk robber barons, they're free to do so. But stay the f away from our continent, we still care about "woke stuff" like human rights and basic empathy.

Except you also demand they defend you, police the world's trade routes, buy your products, sell things to you, invest in your markets, act as the world's reserve currency so you can trade, etc. How many countries want to sell goods internationally for Euros? Not many. Most want US dollars.

The European idea of human rights has become so divorced from the original definition that it is a joke. It is a new and different concept masquerading as "human rights" because those words have some cultural cachet, although that is fading as it becomes clearer and clearer that is is just used as a cudgel to mean whatever policies the Greens and socialists want to pass.

Can't convince people that your energy policy is sensible? Don't worry, it is "environmental human rights". Climate rights and cultural rights and social rights and everything under the sun is now a human right. Privacy is the worst. It now means everything. Privacy is the right to control everything about how you are observed, perceived, remembered, and recorded. You have the right to control how information about you is sent and received. No longer can you do something as simple as ask the question "When he worked for you, how did he do?" No no no. That is collecting personal information about him without his consent! You can't google him, that is using the information for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was created! Human rights have become a way to control what you may think about other people and to justify any policy. If you have a human right to everything the term loses all its meaning. If you have a right to everything, you have a right to nothing.

>As for his nazi salute, at the very least that "akward gesture" was a dog whistle to actual neonazis.

No it wasn't. It didn't look anything at all like a Nazi salute. It is 100% confirmation bias because of people being primed by headlines.

I understand freedom of information, but what exactly does the public gain by Matt getting the database schema ?

If the answer is "the ability of the request data from a specific table/column", I would say that this should possible to do by asking for the relevant data directly (instead of asking for "the timestamps of each ticket" ask for the "time-related data of each ticket" for example) ?

And yes, having your db schema out in the wild can be a vector of attack, if only because it allows targeting the sql injections (the blog author himself argues this in court).

The court was right to reject this. Maybe the exact word of the law doesn't ask for it, but the spirit certainly does.
> The city will have an underground passageway for deliveries and garbage collection. It will test advanced digital technologies and autonomous robots.

The passageway for deliveries sounds like the best thing, but garbage maybe not so much. I have a feeling that over time it will degrade into a sewer-like environment (without the water) with foul smells, unless the garbage is really well sealed.

Edit: Then again, these underground passageways are way bigger than I expected (shown in the video). I thought those would be just big enough for some rail-based autonomous vehicles. But if people handle the garbage underground, I really wonder if the ventilation is superior as to create a worker-friendly environment. It really looks like some people will spend their day underground delivering packages or collecting garbage.
Does this even have anything to do with Hacker News?
But that would increase their cortisol, according to the founders.
Let me put this differently.

If you tell me that you have a closet for your jackets and another closet for your shirts, you're telling me how clothes are laid out in your wardrobe. Specifically, you're telling me that you're laying those out separately, and able to deal with them independently, with little interference between the two. It's not the entirety of the layout information, but it sure is some of it.

If you tell me that you have a column for your first names and another column for your last names, you're telling me how names are laid out in your database('s files). Specifically, you're telling me that you're laying those out separately, and able to deal with them independently, with little interference between the two. It's not the entirety of the layout information, but it sure is some of it.

Sure -- in theory, you could be actually throwing everything together into a dumpster, then paying enough people to search it all in parallel when you want to retrieve that red jacket. If you're actually doing that, maybe you could legitimately claim that you haven't divulged anything about your closet's layout by telling me that shirts and jackets are separate. But chances are pretty darn good you're not actually doing that (and I would know this for a fact if I already somehow knew you were actually using closets built by Joe down the street), and thus actually are exposing layout information by telling me that you're storing them separately. One security implication of which is that, the moment that I get a glimpse of your closet and notice that it contains a shirt, I know it's not the one with the jackets, and I can skip it when trying to steal that expensive red jacket.
I can tell you for a fact that our dogs love snacks. Especially the one, he's asking me for one right now.
