It's all complicated questions too.

Why US and EU worried about Nuclear Weapon in Iran?(I've exaggerated a bit here for an example).
NATO has more troops and equipment than Russia, it does not need to be afraid of Russia and seeks to expand even more.

To be sure even about majority opinion in Finland about joining NATO, in such serios questions you need referendum data but there is no such referendum. Even supporters of the West are not always in favor of joining a purely military and not only defensive NATO Alliance.

Yes USSR invading Finland in Soviet-Finland war it's bad, the USSR offered Finland a territory in return before the war, but unfortunately, it did not seem very profitable, but then, during WW2 for most of the time, Finland fought on the side of the German Axis coalition. And Finland did not fight quite adequately and also committed crimes, created concentration camps to isolate peoples who were not ethnically related to Finns and ("non-indigenous peoples") to move out of the territories where these people lived all their lives and many people died in these camps and there is some evidence of crimes in these camps. If someone want to take away something from you, for example, a part of the territory, then would it be adequate to ask for help from a notorious bandit(Hitler) who burns people? Such question has no good answer.

I'm not oneside propagandist. I just want that more people try to see things from all sides and analyse more information. Maybe I'm wrong.

In countries where there is a very significant part of the Russian-speaking and sympathetic to the Russia population, Russia wants their opinion(russian speaking people) to be taken into account, they are not forbidden to speak and study Russian in schools. Yes, sometimes they exaggerate reasonable demands. But I recognize that such countries have the right to require that all official documents be in the main language and the officials need to know the main language. I think it's not that Russia want fully control of this Countries. Russia wants trade and interact economically with these countries, and not just to have all Russian goods blocked or subject to huge duties without reasons.

Sorry for lots of text. And I may be mistaken in some points.
I have one too, it's honestly a very fun area to program around, and I'm not going to be surprised if this thread is full of me-toos.

Mine is specifically meant to help get videos onto plex in exactly the way we want - with particular emphasis on playlists, taking the numbering and putting it in plex format, and transcoding any codecs (detected via ffprobe) i know certain shitty players (smart TVs) will have issues with. Along with putting it in the right spot on the filesystem with the right permissions and user+group set so it serves correctly over samba too (for management from windows / via GUI).
US manufacturers absolutely make electric busses, but when you’re talking about global trends/capabilities in the market, you have to keep in mind that the core competency of most suppliers on the US market is still diesel drivetrains, their EV products are new/secondary.

I believe the default search payments are also part of the antitrust case, so likely those payments will also become illegal, also affecting Firefox and Apple/Safari.
Or maybe if putting a piece of paper on someone's desk for precise restocking is too much of "a pain" to the person who drank the milk, then they should rethink their employment there.
It seems pretty awful that the de-facto way to use GitHub Actions is using git tags which are not immutable. For example to checkout code [1]:

- uses: actions/checkout@v4

Github does advise people to harden their actions by referring to git commit hashes [2] but Github currently only supports SHA-1 as hashing algorithm. Creating collisions with this hashing algo will be more and more affordable and I'm afraid that we will see attacks using the hash collisions during my lifetime.

I wish that they will add support for SHA-256 soon and wrote product feedback regarding it here: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/154056

If this resonates with you please go and give it a thumbs up :)

Paint the Whole Canvas – Limiting Beliefs of Specialization
Nice read !

You could also use joblib format as well.
Neat idea, but why is this implemented in Python instead of a more suitable language? Also, there are many DSLs and APIs already for this, some even supported by industries and provided as part of the SDKs for various hardware blobs, so why Exo?

Like, I hate SYCL, Kokkos, and all the other similar things as much as the next guy, but major companies and orgs support and use those already.
No you do not have the same rights as any citizen. You are wrong. You cannot endorse terrorism. If you come into the US on a visa and say "Death to America!" then you will be deported. This has been the case for decades upon decades and in my opinion it is correct. It's called biting the hand that feeds you and that person is taking a spot from someone else who would be grateful for being in the US.
Regardless of what happens in the USA, a violent civil war in China is entirely possible within the next few decades. From a historical perspective those are by no means uncommon. The Communist Party has been able to suppress most internal dissent lately but when Chairman Xi leaves power anything could happen.

Grids are better if you have the capital to build them. Most of arfica has been too unstable to safely invest in. Everytime things start looking up there is another revolution and all investment is lost.

Of course with the large number of countries there, that generalization is false. But it is overall close a

But with mini grids you'll just end up with over supply during sunshine/wind with nobody at all to sell the excess to
> The tricky part is that when you don’t drink milk yourself, it becomes a pain to check the cupboard with milk reserves every now and then to ensure we’re stocked.

If checking the milk reserves once a day is too much of a pain for a person hired as an office manager, the person should self-reflect on his/her choice to take the job.
Yup, it's a small model I trained on my Mac mini! The model itself just classifies product attributes like keywords, price, retailer, etc. The features it learns are then used as embeddings
Physical support isn't actually that important - conventional wellbores are not physically supported either until they are cased and cemented, and mostly don't have too much trouble with collapsing. What they need is a seal tight against liquid and gas to prevent it from leaking into the wellbore.

Conventional wellbores accomplish this with the hydraulic pressure of the drilling fluid. These guys can't have any fluid though, so they would have to rely entirely on this condensed rock stuff to both support against the pressure and seal against any leaks. Seems very unlikely, considering that it isn't deliberately created by any kind of process, just randomly condensed from rock vapors.

Note also that they won't really start to run into trouble with this until they get at least a few hundred feet down.

Also, you definitely aren't going to drill more than 6 inches while attempting to physically support the wellbore with any part of the drillstring or waveguide or whatever they're calling this thing.

People should also understand that oil drilling is a highly competitive multi-trillion dollar industry employing tens of thousands of smart people all around the world. Absolutely everything that anyone could think of has already been tried, and adopted if it worked and abandoned if it didn't.
How did he plug in the PS2 mouse and have it work instantly? Normally you had to reboot the system for the PS2 mouse to be recognized, or worse, it would freeze the system.

Kudos to the designer of the web site back then. Very cool.
$1M was the amount they spent on the lander. If I recall correctly, they got a ride to the moon for free. Delivering that amount of mass to the moon is worth O($10M). It seems incentives were not properly aligned for this group.

I should also point out that you can fly a scientific mission on a 1U cubesat for ~$100k all in (including launch cost), which puts it in a very different regime.
Hmmm... is there any way to impeach Elon Musk?
i have always been wondering if the added up velocities of a series of rotating sub-systems has a relativistic effect that impacts what we observe and measure. the moon is rotating itself, around the earth, which is rotating around the sun, which is rotating ...

I disagree it's a chicken-egg problem, nor is it not worth buying an EV (aka "going green").

You can charge an EV with electricity made from several different energy sources. You could even charge it with gas or diesel generator, if such a need would arise. You can't really fill an ICE car with home-brewed gas.

The real issue a) range and b) if your car use maps well to an EV's need to have it plugged in for several hours at a time.
I assume that anything on a work machine is potentially compromised. Having a strict barrier between work machine and personal machines eliminates any embarrassing cross-contamination between them.

If you want to eliminate having duplicate hardware, this is perhaps the only use case I can think of for thin clients/cloud desktops that isn't a step backwards.
Well the companies can either: sell your data, or take your money and still sell your data.
Don't trust the ones that say they don't sell your data, it's only a matter of time until they get caught. Even Apple only cares as much as they need for marketing.
That is how Hollywood currently de-ages famous actors, by training on their photos and stills from when they were around the desired age.

Indeed, and that is current state; renewables and battery manufacturing continues to ramp, which will encourage further cost declines. This is objectively good, it democratizes low carbon, cheap energy.
what should your kids do then? Do you mean it subtly as in, also do the debate team instead of extra classes of math? That's probably good advise I guess.

However, if you mean they shouldn't choose engineering as a major:

joblib is not fully secure because it still relies on Pickle internally. The reason it is slightly better in pickle is due to fact that pickle file gets immediately executed when it gets imported whereas joblib doesn’t execute code just by being imported.

"Musk advocates policies, attitudes, and behaviors indistinguishable from those associated with 20th-century fascism."

I apparently do not have access to the same data sources as those who claim that Musk is at best Nazi-adjacent or Nazi-sympathetic.

Has he ever casually thrown around terms like “Lügenpresse” when talking about the media or described certain ideas or people as “degenerate” in a way that feels a little too historical? Has he talked about how “not everything the Nazis did was bad” or suggested that history might have been unfairly written by the victors? Maybe he hasn’t outright denied the Holocaust, but he’s hinted that the numbers seem questionable or that there’s more to the story than what’s commonly taught. Has he praised the “efficiency” of Nazi Germany, talked about how it was more “orderly” than today’s chaotic world, or suggested that political correctness has made it impossible to discuss certain “truths” about who really holds power? When race comes up, does he lean into the idea that societies just work better when people “stick to their own kind”? Does he complain about “globalists” or “international bankers” in a way that sounds eerily familiar, but insists it’s just about economics? And if you challenge him, does he actually reject any of this, or does he just get defensive, insisting the real issue is people being too quick to throw around words like "Nazi"?

Because, if so, then yes, he's a Nazi. Has he done this? If not, maybe we should reserve the term for people who do.
While this can be mitigated somewhat by keeping backups on hand, the card helps because it gives you a convenient record of needing to restock, which you can just drop somewhere you know it will be used. Even in personal life that might be a good idea. Dropping an empty box of pasta or dental floss on the ground also serves as a convenient reminder, but it's harder to do with a can of tuna.
It really is amazing isn’t it? I teach 4/5th grade where many in this cohort are behind in reading/writing due to the pandemic. It was an uphill battle to get the approval to incorporate AI in my lesson plans but admin quickly changed their tune after they saw the engagement and improvement in my students after using AI to generate images. While many of us adults, find prompting and chat based AI’s cumbersome, it has been a boon for my student’s writing skills. The tight feedback and reward loop text based image generation provides between what is nestled in their minds and what the AI creates is incredible. The iterative and interactive nature of the product compliments and reinforces the foundational writing skills introduced at the 4/5th grade.

Specifically the skills of:
1. Research skills
2. Varied sentence structures
3. Transition words and phrases
4. Editing and revising
5. Voice and tone
6. Descriptive language
I don't think that's exactly what happened here: the compromise created new tags but generally the tag consumption relies on semantic versioning

In other words: you specify version 44, the attacker creates 44.1, you're still hosed.
I wholeheartedly agree with most or all of this and it's refreshing to see thoughtful commentary amidst a tidal wave of crazy speculation. I actually think it would be much more fair, in the event that FF raised $100MM from donations, to have to be accountable to user perceptions of where those resources are going. Although my experience from hn commentary is that people are extremely confused about this and vocal minorities create an illusion of consensus, and express their concerns in drive-by fashion that isn't super amenable to a focused conversation that could be tied to a credible strategy.

The best version of the argument I think one can make relates to Firefox OS. There, at long last, in contrast to spurious complaints about the VPN, Pocket, etc. etc., it seems like Mozilla really did invest serious resources in it at the expense of browser development, and it did happen during the critical period of time where they collapsed from 35ish percent to 3 percent. But it was on behalf of a major bet of the kind that I would like to think everyone welcomed, so, a real risk, but for a respectable strategy. And, they did produce Quantum, a rewrite from the ground up with spectacular improvements in speed and stability (which makes the present day arguments feel like they are at least vestigal echoes of an old argument that was, in its time, legitimate). But you never hear critics talk in a measured way like that.

I do agree that the vocal minority would claim the donations are not being used on $INSERT_THING, which is always a different thing every time you ask (I recently heard that it was all the VC fund's fault which was a new one), and they're already talking like that right now. But I suppose it wouldn't hurt to be open to that revenue. I think it's plausible they could pull something on the order of $10MM or multiple tens of millions which I have to imagine is as good as what they're getting from Pocket and the VPN etc.

I suppose the only disagreement, or frustration I have here is with the perception of "baggage" which has, in my opinion, largely been manufactured in hn comment sections, every bit as detached from a strategy to grow market share as Mozilla's actual strategy.
And the HN font on Safari puts the TY too close together IMO.

Look at them touching. Gross.
I'm interrupted in the office a hundred times a day.

It is guaranteed to happen that as I grab the paper and walk to the person's desk, something more important comes up as somebody sees me, and then I have a meeting, and the piece of paper simply isn't important enough to remember next to my other responsibilities.

Employees are paid to do the work they're best at. It's a bad use of resources to have them tracking office supplies, emptying their wastebins, vacuuming their floor area, restocking toilet paper, or alerting the office manager when milk is low.

For a tiny, cash-strapped startup they might have to do all those things, but generally it's not optimal.

Edit: just to be clear and in response to downvotes, this isn't an ego or self-importance thing. It's just the fact that when in conflict, it is genuinely more important for the company for me to address an urgent technical issue, and show up to an important meeting on time, than to finish running across the office to drop off a post-it note about milk. I already never have enough hours in the day to do everything that needs to get done for my job, and everything is a question of prioritization. I'm just trying to give a realistic perspective here, that we separate out job responsibilities for a good reason.
> Sure most of their companies didn't make much profit or, in many cases, even revenue - but the magic was palpable.

This will synchronously block until ‘chat.ask’ returns though. Be prepared to be paying for the memory of your whole app tens/low hundreds of MB of memory being held alive doing nothing (other than handling new chunks) until whatever streaming API this is using under the hood is finished streaming.
I do a lot of ML, and the Go memory model is highly problematic. The Go to C FFI is too slow and doesn't interface with CUDA well.
What do you mean by 'assignment or creating a new object'? It assigns chat to ... whatever RubyLLM.chat returns. Do you mean the function could have a clearer name?

Show HN: I built Vernus, a media platform without subscriptions
Vernus is a media platform where you can publish your content and sell it by the piece instead of a monthly subscription.

Have you ever wanted to read an article only to discover two paragraphs later that you need a recurring subscription to move forward?

We don't go to the bakery and leave a donation and then eventually take a loaf when we need it. We also don't have a membership to our corner bakery. We buy the bread, because it is valuable to us and we value the work of the baker.

That's Vernus, for digital content.

I read a lot and I make an effort to read from varied sources. However, maintaining subscriptions to a dozen places isn't only a financial burden, I often feel like I don't want to be a supporter of a certain platform, for political or other reasons, but when they do great work I'd be willing to pay.

Intellectual work is highly valuable and still somehow the market has evolved into a state where people either depend on donations, which I find quite derogatory need to compete with big players to convince users to pay yet another $10-$20 a month.

Vernus aims to be just as much a platform for the paywalled content of big media as it is an anti-Substack, where individual voices can build a readership and earn a living.
Well, they do talk about it, just not on those terms.

Their "drill" is unable to distinguish mud from rock, so inserting mud is a complete no-starter.

They expect to stabilize the hole by hardening the rocks on the walls. If you just ignored this because it obviously can't work, well, I agree, but that's still their claim. The only conclusion I can take from it is that they either know a solution and won't tell us, or haven't thought of anything and hope to solve it in production.

They also talk about residue removal. They say it will just gas away from the hole. Again, if you decided to ignore it because it obviously can't work...

That said, I'm with doodlebugging here. As long as it's not my money that they are betting, I just want to see what interesting problems and solutions will come out from this.
