It is literally impossible to transcribe voice, especially if you whisper. There's no way to model the language, it's too large - amanzon has many computers. Your computer is like a tortoise, it can't do text-to-speech. There's no way you can get any of this to use the Web, Dav... er, Cal. Trying to do this would be like trying to torch a python with your bare metal hands.

I don't use Vivaldi in order to know what its limitations are, but as I mentioned I have to run with https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/link-to-text-... (source: https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/link-to-text-fragment Apache 2) due to FF itself not offering that functionality natively

TBH, I also previously just popped open dev-tools and pasted the copied text into console.log("#:~:text="+encodeURIComponent(...)) which was annoying, for sure, but I didn't do it often enough to enrage me. I believe there's a DOM method to retrieve the selected text which would have made that much, much easier but I didn't bother looking it up

For posterity, I also recently learned that Chrome just appends the :~: onto any existing anchor, e.g. <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43336609#43375605:~:tex...> but of course Firefox hurp-derps that style link

Microsoft contributes a lot of web standard implementations upstream to Chromium. They are not just letting Google do all the work as your comment makes it sound like. They could have chosen to do the same with Firefox, which means the reason to fork Chromium and not Firefox had other reasons.
It's still the least bad way to just write something and put it on the internet in a way that looks non-awful. For people whose focus is the content, not the, uh, medium, it still makes sense.
Make sure you read the technical details as well: https://mandelbrot.site/how-mandelbrot-site-was-built

I was surprised that this appears to be calculated entirely on the CPU via Rust code rather than with a GPU shader. The multithreaded JavaScript is indeed interesting though.

One of the things I really appreciated when I worked for Mozilla was their legal department's policy that Mozilla employees not sign over-reaching NDAs [0]. Some of the points they insisted on:

* It has to be limited in scope. It cannot just be "everything we give or tell you is confidential information."

* Confidential information has to be clearly marked or indicated.

* It has to be limited in duration. Not, "You are required to take this information to your grave."

If your project does not have lawyers backing you up, you might not know to ask for these things, or might not think you have the negotiating leverage to get them. But I think they make a real difference to a developer working on an open-source project, and I encourage anyone presented with an NDA to insist on them.

great to see this, absolutely need to try it out.

it is awful that a paid subscription product like YouTube does actually aim to give their (paying) users the worst experience possible by only ever showing stuff i do NOT want to see and offering no way to disable or customize things. honestly, is there anyone happy with their offering?

but will this or anything similar ever run on FireTV / Samsung?

Fascinating bit of writing. I appreciate that it’s personal memoir as much as biography.

Making Finck into a “mystic” feels a bit unfair. He’s a working musician and a sideman, not a rock star frontman. He takes his craft seriously, the technique of performance and the musicianship. Because he is not “in the band”, he will not be the subject of interviews. His job is not to provide you with any more insights than what you can take away yourself from the art he creates.

I’ve made this mistake myself — assuming that because someone communicates in ways that are obscure, they must be concealing some greater truth. Building up that expectation inevitably leads to heartbreak.

I imagine one of those memes that begins with the trad girl saying “thank you” and the subject of her attention would say “I’m literally just an introverted, neurodivergent musician.”
Another thought this triggered for me, related to photo:
A lot of hobbies as they digitize have moved to having 0 OpEx but much higher CapEx.

Photography for example, bodies/lenses didn't change much for 10-20 years, and didn't cost that much. There was recurring expense for film/dev/prints that scaled with your usage, and arguably you could GAS out on those smaller purchases.

In the film era for reference, you had Nikon F 1959, F2 1971, F3 1980, F4 1988, F5 1996, F6 2004. The entire film era Nikon had 6 flagships in 45 years! You could use the same camera for 20 years and only be maybe 1~2 generations behind at the end! There just wasn't much to upgrade to.

With digital bodies cost a ton, and even as we've slowed advancement.. you still get a new flagship body every 3-4 years (down from as little as 2 years in the early Sony A7 days). Some is tech advancement but a lot of it is parcelling out improvements sparingly cycle by cycle to try to drive sales in our modern higher consumption era.
What the hell is bytesandborscht.com ?
even if they are no ads, they still show you 99% only shit with no way to disable it. no i don't want "Shorts". no i don't want the "Gaming" or "Movie" tabs. no i don't ever want to see a video containing words like "reaction". why no customization?
Thanks! I originally built this to scratch an itch I had, so I’m really glad you find it useful too. If you have any ideas for improvements or missing features, feel free to suggest them — or even open a PR!

Want to create a podcast app for only AI-generated shows? Here are 8k fake shows
I highly recommend “High Vaultage” from that list (and the podcast that preceded it is also absolutely outstanding and hilarious).

I am a huge fan of Sir Terry Pratchett and definitely second that recommendation as well, both offer a wonderfully unique perspective.
The album sold because he found a way to say “fuck you like an animal” and get it played on the radio.

It has to be the least commercial-sounding record to chart that high by far.

This is quite cool, but I am not sure I understand the difference between 'Save' and 'Share'. They both seem to just save a file.
Me, too. I got anxious when Mr. Rogers began to do the unthinkable. Surely he is not going to plug a ps/2 mice into a live PC, is he? And he did. Oh, so many memory of me crashing my PC whenever I did that, forgetting that the PC was powered on.
From the abstract:

> Detectable levels of DNA were also observed in air and dust samples from ultra-clean forensic laboratories which can potentially contaminate casework samples.

Great news for criminal defense attorneys.
> Consequentially, our project is currently losing daily active users, and we're being damaged with our traffic-based income being undermined as a result.

I'd like to know more about this "traffic based income". Does PaleMoon show ads? Or are they saying this somehow affects traffic to their download site?
>It seems that when an ESP32 connects it goes straight for the first access point it sees. No matter if that access point is not the one you’ve taped it to. This can lead to bad connectivity, especially since I’ve not really observed ESP32’s moving around to other access points.

This is not a characteristic of "ESP32", this is how the software running on the ESP32 is programmed to work, whatever specific program that is. And it is not my experience at all with "ESP32s". In my ESP-IDF based program, the ESP32 device connects to access points exactly how I tell it to connect with the software I wrote that deals with wifi connections. YMMV.
Compared to say the 70s, the 90s was pretty bleak. A bit of good grunge, a bit of good hiphop, and then it all sort of fizzled out. At least in europe/uk you had the explosion of electronic music and mdma and everyone having an amazing time. American kids growing up in the late 90s were robbed.
may i ask how's your passion really kicking that off ?
Yeah, to be wearing that level of obsession with work as a badge of honour is telling. Alternatively, if there's that much work to be done that this 70-80h/w per employee is a requirement for the business to exist, something is very wrong somewhere and it's only a matter of time before it comes to the surface.

I wouldn't be surprised if milk consumption on that office went down after this. Unless the table was very near, I just wouldn't take the last carton lmao.
Exactly this. If I’m doing something big enough to pay for it, I would almost never choose Cloudflare. But as much as I dislike them, for my small projects there just isn’t an option better than their free tier.
My interpretation was it's saying someone that reads it the wrong way (on purpose) and posts about it actually meaning that is a drama-monger.
We used to have to buy music in stores on physical media. We had to pay money for that album so I think that helped develop an emotional connection to the artist because we were literally giving them our money. Unless you were rich you couldn't own every album that you wanted so you had to think more about whether you really wanted to buy it.

Today most people pay a monthly subscription to a streaming music service and get unlimited access to millions of songs. I think this decreases the personal connection to music.

There are still devoted fans to musicians that will pay a thousand dollars to see them in concert and younger fans buying music on vinyl records that want a more tangible physical experience but that's the minority.
I love Chromebooks. Windows is tras. Even if you buy a MacBook, Apple is able to reconfigure your machine at will.
I don't like the Beatles either. There's just something about their sound that really grates on my nerves, IDK what it is. They were obviously historically significant, but I very much dislike listening to them.
BTW Anki has a new algorithm thats vastly more effective: FSRS.

What I mean is that isn't the temperature of "space" -- if we're being pedantic. Such a temperature would presumably be measured by the blackbody radiation of... space, if space were a blackbody.
Whiskerwood looks an improved version of Timberwood, one of the best colony sims I've played. Thanks for the link, I've enjoyed it!
I guess I won't really argue. The appearance is good and, if you don't want your own blog (which is still more work to setup than it should be unless you're a web designer or pay someone), I suppose Medium is a reasonable option.
First you need to SELECT text.

Show HN: JobMatchAI reads job descriptions for you and filters out bad ones
when I was searching for jobs on Linkedin/Ziprecruiter/Indeed, they only give you a keyword search and I still had to read a bunch of job descriptions that I am not qualified for and that I didn't like. this wastes a lot of time reading descriptions. This program puts all the desirable jobs at the top. I think its the most valuable for workers early in their career where they don't have recruiters messaging them and have to search and apply manually. If you want I can run the program for you https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSewvVIp3ElZeRydXR8i...
I've come to appreciate when artists hang it up in their prime, though. It's very hard to be consistently good forever (I'm not sure I can name anyone who was), and I would much rather think back on an artist's work and say "man I wish he did more of that" than "man he should've gave it up ages ago". For example, Calvin and Hobbes vs Garfield in the world of comics. I would love to have more C&H of the same quality, but I'm grateful it never became boring and forgettable like Garfield did.
My (possibly misunderstood to the point of misphrasing) understanding, is that SAML still has the point-of-difference that your sso provider can cancel a session. Is that right?
They must be attempting to select for the naive who haven't figured the owners/investors benefit far more from your 60h work week than you ever will.
Oh and I should say, I enjoy all the different Adams adaptations(even the movie!), but my personal favorite that I think is less well known: the HHGG audiobooks read by the author. The timing and phrasing of Douglas Adams was truly marvelous!

The "kill switch" story is probably false: https://theaviationist.com/2025/03/10/f-35-kill-switch-myth/

If it existed there it would mean remote connection in some way. These planes aren't connected to the internet. For this to work you would need hardware.

Probably shouldn't be buying weaponry and defense equiptment from the country toying with idea of invading us, especially considering the reliance if an aggressor in keeping thos same weapons functional.

Credible threat or not, "joking" about invading other nations should not be met with anything positive or kind; for an aggressor the size of the US, the size and scale of the military should be weighed against how likely the threat is. Even a small chance should be taken incredibly seriously due to the time and money America spends on her armed forces.
I will eternally find it sad how much talent is wasted on trading. So much money, so much intelligence, so much time and effort, all the provide almost no tangible value to society.
I'd add a 3rd requirement - scoping & project management, particularly when being "surgical" and coming into an existing project.

That's a skill I'm trying to learn, and not sure where to turn. If anyone has any advice.
Your complaint seems to be that Apple was late to the party (as they often are).

I agree that early third-party styli were a pain - I used various Jot versions, which were better than nothing but not great.

But the Apple pencil + Procreate is actually great, and a fulfillment of the iPad's original promise in the drawing space.
You’re basically describing Roblox.
Didn't really sound like advice.

No! You as programmer control that. You can configure to connect to any AP you want.

My code does a scan and save the closest AP. If it can’t connect it does another scan and saves a new AP
I disagree. This song structure is cheap and mostly used for pop songs meant to be a catchy background. Many (most?) music pieces that could be called masterpieces don't follow such simplistic structure.

I'm not trying to be pretentious. I'm not a hardcore music fan, and most of the music I listen to nowadays has the classic verse/chorus structure (because it's catchy and ready to vibe on). But pretending it's the one correct way to make music is not right.
Exactly, that's the most significant bit about them.
I don’t trust Android.
so what have has sparked your interest so far in python3 webstack ecommerce ?
Ten years ago, all the $1mn+ earning engineers were in trading. Now they are in LLM/AI. Glad to see this happen, Jane Street has increased their advertising here because of this.
This is extremely true, especially when holding backspace and when you hold it a bit too long, the speed increases! Trying to remove query parameters, such as used for Google Analytics tracking, can be extremely frustrating.
The kill switch seems to stem from the lack of updates to radar-jamming for the F-16 [0]. Lack of software support also, to me, suggests dropping hardware support (and the spare parts required) sooner rather than later. Even if it remains "only software", itself a hell of a phrase for this site, that software needs updates as Russia updates it's radar frequencies. The plane is potentially a hell of a lot less useful without the jamming capabilities they were sold with

Yep, but hopefully without the child predation!
Unfortunately, 5 years after the release you linked, almost none of this has made it to Rails or even to relatively new libraries this post is about. The reason (imho) are unfortunate design choices in how the language incorporates concurrency - it’s just not well done.
>My first thought was "if they're expecting somebody to work 2x the standard hours, they need to pay at least 2.5x the standard salary".

IMHO, in reality, salaries are only superficially related to any notion of how much or hard one works, or how much value one provides, or can provide. I think it's too complex for me to fully understand why this is, but I've seen too many examples of hard workers earning peanuts, and morons/charlatons earning loads, to believe that there's actually a nice line going up between experience/work ethic and remuneration. Supply and demand is only half the story, nepotism is in there somewhere, "marketing yourself", leverage etc. The point is: this ad is either asking for 80h weeks for 1x salary because they think they can realistically get that, or they think it sends a signal to a type of candidate they want.
It’s imagining a future we wouldn’t vote to implement.
This has already been effectively stayed by a fed judge.

Evidence of universal conformal invariance in living biological matter
I've had pretty good luck with the ESP line and WiFi, even have 2 of the 32s that have the port for external antenna working in sheds about 150' from the nearest AP.

I've always turned off power saving and given them hard coded IP settings (no DHCP). The only time I saw anything wonky is a short-lived experiment with the 32's deep sleep not reliably connecting on wakeup.

Mostly ESPHome now, two of the basic Uniquiti pucks from a few years back, for reference.
Yes you can, by gravitational lensing of another body. Works exactly by triangulation in Lorentz space. You can thank Einstein for this feature of special relativity.

(Tricky part is deciding it's another body from a picture. You would need a second JWST preferably far in the other Lagrange point. Stereoscopy solves it directly. You can )

The thing is, you need another galaxy in the way to be sure, or a black hole. Theoretically our Sun can serve. [] Or the supermassive black hole in the center of our galaxy, but the sensitivity might be a bit compromised.

And long observation time.

Mmm Bop was brought to you by the Dust Brothers, responsible for the Beastie Boys’ Paul’s Boutique.
My wife has worked in manufacturing for 20 years. It's very interesting to hear all the "technologies" that they have developed: six sigma, Kanban, lean manufacturing and all that. A lot of of that really feels like REAL engineering. Vs "sprint review" and "retrospective" crap we deal with in software.
Ship of Harkinian: Unofficial Open Source Ocarina of Time Port
Well instead of looking at the two first hits of Google I spent several years on a platform team of a multi billion dollar company using mostly Rails and worked on solving real world problems caused by Ruby/Rails’ design choices which lead me to believe that Ruby concurrency as of today is hot garbage.

They need fundamental breaking changes to the language to fix this, which means people won’t be able to use their beloved pile of 438 gems that haven’t seen a commit in 7 years. If I had to bet, I’d say the language is dead. It might still be a nice niche language for easy prototyping, but the world has moved on to async/await (js/python/Rust/C++) or stackful coroutines (Go).
Holy shit. I would've loved this when I was in college and still doing hallucinogens.

Fractals are one of those things that just feel "right". You know?
Yes. That is probably true and probably just as bad.

Because F35 parts are manufactured all over the world a single country could theoretically ground your planes if they don't like your policies.
The toilet paper we buy now comes in individually-wrapped (paper wrapping) rolls, and several rolls in every box are wrapped in bright red paper. Those rolls have the suggestion printed on them that you put them towards the bottom of the pile in the bathroom so that when you reach for a new roll and the one you pull out is wrapped in red paper, you know it's time to go get more from the box. It's a clever design, although it does somewhat rely on people remembering to order the rolls that way when putting them in the cabinet...
Im most reminded of Ratropolis, but likely it is nothing like it. But Ratropolis is a fairly interesting game, its a very busy game where you need to make decisions constantly.
Look at AWS presentation/talk about Aurora DSQL [1]

It’s a Postgres facade. But everything beyond that is a complete reimagining and a rewrite to scale independently.

I personally think it’s going to eat a lot of market share when it solves some remaining limitations.
