Really? Are you from the area? I live there and don't know any poors driving diesels. It has been a cost for some businesses with diesel vans who have had to update but such is life.

It was a bit of a pain for me as I ended up swapping my 31 year old car for a 12 year old car but I'd rather have clean air and the 31 year old was getting a bit rusty anyway.

The change in air quality has made a big difference for me, I've been central for ~18 years and was thinking of moving out because the pollution was making my eyes sting all the time but it's much better now. Partly ULEZ and partly other stuff like the taxis going electric and the busses getting better engines.
Same. I think metaphors that paint something as black or white are almost as damaging in practice as they can be useful in understanding. It doesn't help that these metaphors usually have a built-in positive/negative connotation as well - who wants to be a drone?
> changeable process

Indeed. One sentence in TFA stands out

"As you adapt from cowboy to drone..."

Systemantics thinkers (Gall) would say that optionally you can move
the other way too. In fact that happens when old systems are broken up
into gangs of cowboys (much apropos DOGE etc). Only bad systems are
ones that "cast themselves in stone". We prefer modular systems of
smaller systems and if you put a process in place, it should be as
easy to remove, adapt or replace that process.

SE tells us, never build highly coupled systems where changing one
small bit causes problems in unrelated subsystems.

All this is to say there are such things as "flexible systems", which
are designed to be more like cowboys than steel machines. A good
example is an "operating system", where the essential purview is to
frictionlessly run other systems. Parts can be set running, and just
as easily terminated if they don't work, need bypassing, or the org
grows.
There are vastly more computers out there than x86 and many of them are little more (or less) advanced than a PDP-11.

If you know nothing about filesystems, then you're almost certainly limited by the underlying hardware, not the filesystem.

And "performance" is meaningless in this context without specifying what you want to perform. Raw sequential read/write throughput, random metadata operations on directories containing millions of files? Something in between?

> Are there ways to make a step-change in
> overall performance somewhere?

Yes, it's called O_DIRECT (or equivalent), and is very useful to those that actually need it.

A general-use filesystem is inherently something that requires you to compromise on performance.
"Social media" is such a broad term though. It'd be interesting to see this broken down

- "Social media" with your real identity having an online presence (this seems to have the most harm, especially to girls)

- "Traditional internet": Anonymous / pseudonymous things like forums, gaming, comment sections etc.

- "Parasocial media" (comparing self to, or obsessively following, the output of professional influencers / advertisers / performers)

There's also the "cult" aspect of a lot of online communities that can alienate a person from real life. This can be bad for young people.
The Billionaire Takeover of Lykos – and Rick Doblin's Comeback
For the first time in more than 40 years, we are able to see the ATARI CAMAC Cross Assembler working in an emulated Data General MV/8000 environment, where we assemble a copy of DIG-DUG on a machine with a faster processor, and much more resources than an ATARI 800.
If I understand the article correctly, this research shows that you can compress some 2d image into a circuit design, that if replicated exactly many times in a grid, it will spontaneously output the desired image.

I'm interested in a nearby, but dissimilar project, almost it's reciprocal, wherein you can generate a logic design that is NOT uniform, but where every cell is independent, to allow for general purpose computing. It seems we could take this work, and use it to evolve a design that could be put into an FPGA, and make far better utilization than existing programming methods allow, at the cost of huge amounts of compute to do the training.
You state you have to make things for uni projects. Without knowing the potential restrictions around using AI for your University, I would say go on youtube and take a TailwindCSS fundamentals course and have the docs handy. Just focus on the concepts and work thru the examples. TailwindCSS is more of a set of shorthand syntax for actual CSS. If you have a plugin for your editor, it should show you the actual CSS for the Tailwind syntax.

Then pick a component library, like DaisyUI (or another component lib), that uses tailwind under the hood. Use tailwind for your layout, grid, etc. and DaisyUI for things like cards, accordions, forms, etc.

Once you understand the concepts and fundamentals then for personal projects use AI to help you generate the code.

To be fair, up until recently copyright/DMCA prevented them from repairing the ice cream machines - I'd give it some time to see if things start to improve. Other kitchen equipment does seem to generally be fixed/replaced promptly enough to not typically cause major impact.

Sensors on the equipment seems reasonable to me. Predicting failure in advance can avoid downtime or more costly damage. Machines with degrading performance and some underlying issue can also be a food safety issue, if it isn't addressed until they entirely fail.

You're almost right! The Russian empire is very old. They just want it back.

I'd love it, but I feel like there is another horizon that Iceberg hasn't tackled to truly get us there.

Iceberg (and Delta Table format) is really OLAP-optimized, being built on a columnar datastore, Parquet. This means it will be slow to do writes compared to a traditional row-based datastore and doesn't really have normal/optimal OLTP indexing.

Fast OLTP + Fast OLAP + low latency is best done via HTAP-type databases which store data in both row and columnar form and give you ability in the SELECT clause to pick your latency tolerance and the query engine will pick the OLTP engine if it knows there are still some OLAP writes queued up that entered the system more than <latency-timeframe> ago but aren't fully on disk yet.

Various vendors do have HTAP, but all with proprietary storage engines and query engines. But Iceberg alone doesn't get you there. I haven't seen discussion of this I don't know if anyone has tried to write both Hudi and Iceberg/Delta in parallel so they could do HTAP; maybe they use pure Hudi instead?

I'd have to re-look at Hudi to see if it's deferred compaction is more like this. XTable doesn't seem to target this issue.
I built this after losing countless hours to mindless browsing.

The Chrome extension lets you block distracting sites with two clicks and set custom schedules for when they're accessible.

What makes it different is the scheduling feature - you can allow limited access to sites during specific times (like lunch breaks), which is more sustainable than all-or-nothing blockers.

Built with the WXT development framework, highly suggest it. It's already helped me reclaim hours of productive time each week.

I'd like some trustworthy sources on the luxury car sales since whatever search I do return results from absolutely sketchy websites with similar naming to real news outlets ("globaleuronews.com" instead of the real "euronews.com", "news-pravda.com" [which is very much a Russian propaganda site]), or stuff named using extremely generic terms (such as "automotivelogistics.media", "good-times-invest.com", etc.).

I believe you were victim of propaganda but would like to check what sources you have to challenge my assumption.

> the information can't be encoded into the bundle

Can it not? It seems like this SCTNotAfter constraint is effectively an API change of the root CA list that downstream users have to in some way incorporate if they want their behavior to remain consistent with upstream browsers.

That doesn't necessarily mean full CT support – they might just as well choose to completely distrust anything tagged SCTNotAfter, or to ignore it.

That said, it might be better to intentionally break backwards compatibility as a forcing function to force downstream clients to make that decision intentionally, as failing open doesn't seem safe here. But I'm not sure if the Mozilla root program list ever intended to be consumed by non-browser clients in the first place.

You can but if I recall based on a book I read [0], you’d need to take a pill something like three or four times a day as your body naturally clears GLP-1 very quickly. The chemical has been known since the 90s, the Ozempic breakthrough was binding/mixing it with some chemical of Gila monster venom which makes your body take much longer to break down the chemical (days instead of hours).

Using the Certificate Transparency logs I'd imagine.

Also note that your domains are live as they're allocated (they exist). Whether a web server or anything else actually backs them is a different question entirely.

For "secret" subdomains, you'll want a wildcard certificate. That way only that will show on the CT logs. Note that if you serve over IPv4, the underlying host will be eventually discovered anyways by brute-force host enumeration, and the domain can still be discovered using dictionary attacks / enumeration.

Never touched Cloudflare so this is as far as I can help you.
> Obscurity is a fine strategy

> Subdomains can be passwords and a well crafted subdomain should not leak

Your comment is really odd to read I'm not sure I understand you, but I'm sure you don't mean it like that. Just to re-iterate the important points:

1. Do not rely on subdomains for security, subdomains can easily leak in innumerable ways including in ways outside of your control.

2. Security by obscurity must never be relied on for security but can be part of a larger defense in depth strategy.

> This reliance on "security through obscurity" can produce resultant weaknesses if an attacker is able to reverse engineer the inner workings of the mechanism. Note that obscurity can be one small part of defense in depth, since it can create more work for an attacker; however, it is a significant risk if used as the primary means of protection.

I asked a question years ago about trying to make a “real” operating system out of TempleOS [1], because I agree there’s probably some more to it than just a meme.

I don’t know enough about operating systems to really know if there’s anything clever in there, but that gets to your point; part of the issue comes down to the ability to understand what you’re reading, as you pointed out.

If I had seen the original 4chan post back when it was new, I wouldn’t have thought much of it, because I don’t know anything about superpermutations or combinatorics. If I had seen the post, I would have thought “oh there’s some math I never learned, cool” and moved on, not realizing its significance.

Apropos to today's topic
It is confusing, but they have diff calls for pdfs vs images. In their example google colab: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/11NdqWVwC_TtJyKT6cmu...

The first couple of sections are for pdfs and you need to skip all that (search for "And Image files...") to find the image extraction portion. Basically it needs ImageURLChunk instead of DocumentURLChunk.
Great comment. I have decided to insure my mint-condition #4 for €185. Even though the shirt is its own receipt, €185 is the replacement cost.

I notice 100 shirt owners like me have taken out the same policy. So, average replacement cost for a tragic dry-cleaning mistake in which all 100 insured shirts are lost is actually €235.

Obviously, any insurance company recognizes me as a sophisticated customer, so they offer me a choice: they could preventatively buy and store shirt #185 today, if I should ever need it, for an extra €10, or add a policy rider to insure the €50 difference between the replacement price and €235, for an extra 5.

I have titles in the discipline. I know and I am supposed to know what you wrote there well. What I was telling you is that the use of 'predict' for the nature of Science is well established; of course it is a rhetoric simplification - but language in use is.

> look at the average human

We do not look at the average human to determine a specific ability: we look at specimen that show and express that particular ability.

There may be a very great misunderstanding about what they are trained to do («predicting verisimility», telling a convincing story) and what we should expect them to do (producing outputs like those who «predict[] facts», i.e. reason subtly over a world model). In fact,

I have used it. (I have used it before many of you: I am one who gave the alarm to this community(, ignored,) well before the stock market crash.) Those of the "detective" game used it, and it failed especially. This tells you that with LLMs we are still in the realms of the "oracular" that you supposed "dead and gone with Delphi".

> Scratch the surface, though, and the same type of thing is happening

You may have "intuitions" and say that according to "your guts and best subconscious guesses", "that A is B". But if you then "believe" that intuition and consider it "final" instead of checking it, vetting it through conscious processes, to determine if it was correct and make it solid - then you are doing it wrong.

It was true for at least Chrome until around 2020: Chrome used to not ship with any trusted CA list and default to the OS for that.

I agree with most of the points made in the article and I think this is wonderfully written. But I disagree with the conclusion.

I do not disagree that discussing flags is generally uninteresting and it would be intellectually dishonest to exclude this case, just because I happen to differ here.

But I do think discussion of this topic is relevant for our shared (hacker) culture and I explained why, so this isn't just questioning the flagging, it also offers a on topic thought.

And given the current times (not only in the US) this is a relevant topic for every citizen that wants to keep their society non-authoritarian and merit based.

There is a cost to having heated discussions on HN — but there is also a cost to not having them in some cases. I argue that this is one of those.

> In practice you can't combine no_std and std within a single project anyway

You can with Rust features. It allows a library to conditionally compile certain parts of the code, and users of the library can decide which features to enable.

If a library only uses stdlib in code gated by #[feature(std)], users can disable that flag, and use the library in no_std contexts.
