I think it’s fine that not everything on the internet is archived forever.

It has always been like that, in the past people wrote on paper, and most of it was never archived. At some point it was just lost.

I inherited many boxes of notes, books and documents from my grandparents. Most of it was just meaningless to me. I had to throw away a lot of it and only kept a few thousand pages of various documents. The other stuff is just lost forever. And that’s probably fine.

Archives are very important, but nowadays the most difficult part is to select what to archive. There is so much content added to the internet every second, only a fraction of it can be archived.

But if you aren't trying to map the wave function to physical space somehow you are essentially saying that the central construct of your theory has no direct relation to the actual physical processes happening "underneath".

This reduces to a kind of "shut up and calculate" attitude, so it seems poor starting point from which to write an interpretation text.

It was a misguided idea, and was quickly abandoned because obviously a CD-ROM is just as likely to be scratched when moving it from jewel box to caddy, as when moving it from jewel box into tray.

The reason it was supposed to be more protective was that the industry expected everybody to buy a separate caddy for each CD-ROM they owned, so each CD would only ever be transferred once, and thus be scratched less. But caddies were expensive so obviously nobody ever did that (I'm not sure it even ever occurred to most people), and manufacturers quickly switched to trays.

It looks to me like you’re using the dialog API well enough, but your background content isn’t inert, I can still scroll it, and if I wasn’t on mobile I’d see if tab would break the modal sandbox, as I suspect it might.

You should try using this with a screen reader if you’re able, that’ll let you know where you may need further improvement.

Right now the behavior on the page is that of a dialog and you’re using the (correct if you want a modal) modal API, that will cause issues for users

You should also use the autofocus attribute if you want the modal to focus on something other than the close icon in the corner upon opening
It's a crazy experience being just physically larger than most of the world. Especially when the size on the label carries some implicit shame/judgement. Like I'm skinny, I'm pretty much the lowest weight I can be and not look emaciated / worrying. But when shopping for a skirt in Asian sizes I was a 4XL, and usually an or L-2XL in European sizes. Having to shift my mental space that a US M is the "right" size for me was hard for many years. But like I guess this is how sizing was always kinda supposed to work.

Is there even an API that lets you do this (store virtual cards for tap to pay) outside of the wallets? Would it be PCI compliant?

Does Lego still have any strong original franchises, though? It seems most of their set themes are third-party licenses now, and their original themes can't hold a candle to e.g. Bionicle back when I was a kid.

I think software is rather easy to archive. Emulators are they key. Nearly every platform from the past can be emulated on a modern arm/x86 Linux/windows system. Arm/x86/linux/windows are ubiquitous, even if they might fade away there will be emulators around for a long time. With future compute power it should be no problem to just use nested emulation, to run old emulators on an emulated x86/linux.
Oh, you mean a rare eventuality.

Yes, you need some redundant power supply. We should probably be investing more on research about synthetic fuels than we are right now (and shelf-stable flow batteries; hydrogen won't cut it in a micro-scale, even though it's great for national grids), but for a long time everybody will still use fossil fuels for that.

It's not a huge problem right now.

Agree, definitely not a repackaged 1000 / 500. It also shipped with Kickstart 2.0 / Workbench 2.0 which was a pretty decent upgrade on 1.3 that the A500 had. And it shipped with 1MB of chip RAM, rather than 512KB. 1MB chip wasn't possible in the A500 without soldering IIRC. Some games utilised that, though bot many.

I think once the 1200 came out it was just an odd product in the lineup. The 1200 made way more sense given the massive upgrade across CPU, memory, chipset and OS

Sure that margin is holding when they had to mark the first generation down to get them off the shelves. It would truly surprise me if they've made a significant profit off these cards.
That doesn't matter. It's about similarity and consumer confusion.

I am quite a Nirvana fan but I just think this is totally absurd.

Nirvana's impact on the actual sound of music I would say is really not that much.

It is really Sonic Youth that had a much bigger impact on the 90s sound than anyone. Including taking Nirvana on tour as an opener when they were complete nobodies.

Even punk music barely felt the influence of Nirvana. I think you are confusing sound with MTV marketing.

It is actually curious how much Nirvana and The Beatles are not reflected sound wise in modern music.

Nothing close to say the way Bone Thugs-N-Harmony has influenced modern rap.

In an alternate universe, DEC could have owned personal computing outright and caught IBM flat-footed. But they were deathly afraid of cannibalizing their minicomputer business, so the only home -11s that made it out the door without being hobbled were the Heathkits (H11 and H11A), and even those were sort-of hobbled in that they could only use 16-bit Q-bus cards unless you were willing to do some hardware hacking, even to the point of cutting a hole in the case. Otherwise, they were legit Q-bus LSI-11s that could run standard DEC operating systems, and V7 Unix as well (but not 2BSD due to memory constraints).

Acknowledging you want a web-app browser based alternative and this won’t answer your question, feel free to ignore.

But as for general notion alternatives, and actually if you prefer to go in the other direction away from web based—Hands down would recommend Obsidian.md above any other open source alternative.

While it's not 100% "batteries included" like proprietary apps (though this gap has narrowed considerably), Obsidian truly shines if you're even slightly inclined toward customization. It's "hackable to the core" — you can build practically anything on top of it, which satisfies open source purists. Yet for practical users not looking to build their own software, Obsidian still punches above its weight — it's highly functional and polished out of the box, requiring zero setup to be immediately productive.

The integrated community plugins library lets you extend vanilla Obsidian to match most proprietary software, including Notion's "databases" functionality (arguably Notion's best feature), LLM integration, and much more. Since these plugins are themselves open source, they too can be customized beyond their original design. It's the perfect blend of freedom with valuable functionality either built-in or one click away.

What initially drove me from Notion to Obsidian wasn't the customization aspect, but the need for local storage and non-cloud syncing for sensitive data. It's egregious that Notion still doesn't support this outside their Enterprise license. I almost overlooked this by simply not using Notion for sensitive data, but the final straw came when I lost access during Notion's service outages. Even though these were infrequent and brief, being unable to access my data when needed was unacceptable. Arguing with devs about local storage and offline functionality only to face that situation made me realize how absurd it was that Notion doesn't even provide a cached version when offline. Without internet, Notion is essentially a brick — your data exists somewhere in the aether, just not on your device. That's bananas.

After switching to Obsidian and solving the local storage "problem" in 30 seconds, I gradually discovered more functionality and have since customized it as my central organization and research tool. Couldn't recommend it more highly.

I'll stop my rant now — Obsidian speaks for itself and doesn't need my endorsement, just as Notion's shortcomings are equally well-established.
Freelancers, how do you handle late payments?
Hey HN!

I’m building PayPrompt, a simple but powerful tool for freelancers and solopreneurs to automate invoice creation and payment reminders. One of the biggest struggles I hear from independent workers is late or forgotten payments, and existing invoicing tools often feel too bloated or expensive.

What it does:

- Instant invoice generation (without clunky accounting tools).
- Automated, non-intrusive reminders that follow up with clients for overdue payments.
- Smart payment tracking with Stripe, PayPal, and bank transfer support.
- Freelancer-friendly pricing—no hidden fees, just a flat-rate subscription.

Why I’m here: I’d love to hear how you currently handle invoicing & payment follow-ups.

- Do you use existing invoicing software, or do you track invoices manually?
- How often do you deal with late payments or awkward follow-ups?
- What’s the #1 thing you’d want in a tool like this?

I’m looking for early adopters to test PayPrompt and give feedback—anyone who signs up now gets 50% off for life + free early access. If you’re interested, feel free to comment or join the waitlist here → payprompt.app/early-access.

Appreciate any thoughts, feedback, or insights!

Taken further - Art can be created as a response to seeing or experiencing suffering, but it is important to manage your own response to suffering.

In On Writing, Stephen King has this lovely quote about his journey to get off of drugs: “The idea that the creative endeavor and mind-altering substances are entwined is one of the great pop-intellectual myths of our time. ... Substance abusing writers are just substance abusers — common garden variety drunks and druggies, in other words. Any claims that the drugs and alcohol are necessary to dull a finer sensibility are just the usual self-serving bullshit. I've heard alcoholic snowplow drivers make the same claim, that they drink to still the demons.”
With modern battery electric busses there is usually no need to charge while driving. Drivers need breaks, fast charging during the break time is enough. Fast charging infrastructure is much simpler to install and cheaper than overhead wires.

> The wave function’s pattern can travel across regions of possibility space that are associated with the slits.

Which to me conflicts with his emphatic “no” at the beginning of the article because this implies you can define some mapping between the physical and probability space. And of course you can because if you couldn’t the theory would not be physically predictive.

I agree with your javascript complaints, and I use a graphical browser.

I do prefer to surf with js disabled, and in most cases it actually works pretty well.

But the lack of non-js mastedon has pretty much stopped me from reading posts on the system. I can surf github, and this site, with no js, but mastedon is a no go.

The conversion of the internet into a scam ad distribution system is the primary culprit leading to the massive proliferation of js, along with the use of overly complex "frameworks" that could often be static html, I don't know what mastedon's excuse is...
That would be news to people on mac with Rosetta Stone / Crossover.
Yes, which is exactly the point. The main difference is that the wave function has a complex value with norm <= 1, while a probability distribution function has a real value <= 1.
Simpleton's view:

Particles are just standing waves, so to speak. They are not just an amorphous clay-like lump of matter. They are made of smaller things and those things are churning around. That in-place churning becomes a wave when the particles move at speeds that approach a significant fraction of c.

Show HN: Explain stream processing watermark with a react comp in docs, by AI
We all know AI can generate code and content. (maybe just me), I just realized AI can also generate code *for* documentation, to create easy-to-understand and interactive visualization/tool to better explain complex mechanism.

For example, in the stream processing space, watermark is not quite easy to understand. In the past I have a few blogs/talks about this but with Claude or any other capable model, you can ask AI to create an interactive demo with configurable settings, random data and frame-by-frame explanation.

Live Demo: https://docs.timeplus.com/understanding-watermark#try-it-out
Source Code (80% AI,20% me): https://github.com/timeplus-io/docs/blob/main/src/components...

docusaurus and other docs framework supports React components for a long time, but only experienced frontend developers can build such interactive demo. Now with AI, you can explain the concepts to the AI and let it create the initial interactive tool. For sure there will be many issues in the initial code. You have to keep correcting them, giving then suggestions and refine or even update the code by yourself. I spent ~4 hours working with AI to refine this tool. If I wrote from scratch I probably need 20+ hours

For healthy adults, thirst is a perfectly adequate guide to hydration needs. Historically normal patterns of drinking - e.g. water with meals and a few cups of tea or coffee in between - are perfectly sufficient unless you're doing hard physical labour or spending long periods of time outdoors in hot weather. The modern American preoccupation with constantly drinking water is a peculiar cultural phenomenon with no scientific basis.

> managers were generally evaluated in that period based on their ability to hire, retain and motivate teams. The current market doesn’t value those skills particularly highly, but instead prioritizes a different set of skills: working in the details, pushing pace, and navigating the technology transition to foundational models / LLMs. This means many members of the current crop of senior leaders are either worse at the skills they currently need to succeed, or are less motivated by those activities. Either way, they’re having less fun.

Don't geeks enjoy playing with LLMs much more than hiring or any other admin/people/meeting type interaction? They should find dealing with the new wave of AI success a lot of fun, and a lot MORE fun that governance stuff, IMHO.
