Huh, oddly no mention of native browser support in the form of <script type=“module”> and importmaps! To me, that felt like the last platform to offer ESM support.

I also feel like browser support “feels” more official than support from bundlers.

Just weird to leave out a mention of that.
Just FYI, it turned out to be a bad connection between the controler PCB and the NTC temperature sensor that measures the condensation temperature at the plate heat exchanger.
GTD: The power of getting things done
Oh, that (waiting for all fingers to be detected) does indeed change how I would approach the scenario, and blew past me in my initial reading.

That all said, even with 100ms cycles I would hardware debounce the inputs, capture the keystrokes with an ISR to set some semaphore variables, and then create a 100ms loop that checks the current value (and resets) those semaphore variables.

Eliminating switch bounce allows far more elegant software handling of the values you're reading, so Ken could turn his attention and development energy towards things like sliding time windows (100ms starting from the first keydown, for example) instead of trying to boil the ocean cancelling bounces.
Yes I know about exposure, this isn't about the technical qualms of any giving photograph but the utility it has for the general public by being smudged to this degree.
Probably. At this point, I'd take _any_ form of success.
I'm using fedora coreos to run nextcloud on a cheap old workstation. It took some work to get the configuration right, but I'm very impressed by how little maintenance I need to do (so far none at all).

If anyone is interested in doing the same, my configuration can be found here for inspiration:

PLA garrisons are still organized mainly inwards. However, the PAP (people’s armed police) has picked up much of the internal security slack after 1989, when China realized tanks weren’t a great way to put down a protest (the PAP actually has riot-gear and riot training that China didn’t have much of in 89).
The most successful chorded keyboard of all time is the Perkins keyboard used to produce braille. If you already know braille, it's much quicker to learn than touch typing on a regular keyboard because they keys correspond directly to dots in the braille character cell.

And surprisingly, this advantage of not having to look at it also applies blind smartphone users, who can use an on-screen Perkins keyboard as an input method. The touch targets are large enough that you can use it without seeing them once you get used to where they are.

Hi! I wanted to play the original Tamagotchi in my browse but couldn't find any, so I built one myself. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
I think it's a bit out of context. I think they are referring to Mary Beard, who is a classicist / historian who said her Latin wasn't that good, but may have been exaggerating because she was IIRC arguing against gatekeeping in history (like saying physicists don't need advanced math, because Einstein wasn't the best at math compared to a few other top theoretical physicists).
This combination of being aware enough to use two fake data points while giving away your whole DNA is making me chuckle.
Why Vibe Coding Is Overrated
The regulatory aspect is one I get.

The problem is that it infected the mindset of almost every company. Those that worked at companies who needed it brought the mindset everywhere. And like many technologies, people who study what big companies do mimic it everywhere, even where it's not needed.

So your simple stupid SaaS company has some simple object that a user wants to delete that ends up living in a db somewhere... forever.
I'm surprised that nobody has talked about HaikuOS, I used to daily drive for a while before returning to Linux or OS X, depending on what I do.

I certainly feel identified here. as one of the stupid people they'd struggle to work with. Chasing every irrelevant rathole, distracted by Squirrels, unable to use 2 words where 22 will do, but still somehow able to move the lump of stone forward as we make the next pyramid.

The thing is I can't stand working with another one. I don't mind being me annoying the living bejesus out of the more productive smart people around me but put another me in the room and I want to quit.

Saved monies can be used to reduce taxes, to rearm or rebuild.

Also, military spending can be reduced by reducing military costs in the USA. Wait until DOGE gets it's scalpel on the Pentagon's budget: likely much can be saved there.

Remember Eisenhower's warning about the "military-industrial complex"

https://www.bing.com/search?form=MOZLBR&pc=MOZI&q=military+i...

The defense industry has run rampant since long before Eisenhower's presidency. Trump is likely to make some serious cuts in the defense budget, deeper than we've seen in decades.
Thank you kindly for providing these links. I do hope that microkernels take off in a big way for general purpose computing someday.
Elicit has a nice new feature where given a research question, it seems to give the question to an LLM with the prompt to improve the question. It's a neat trick.

As an example, I gave it 'What is the impact of LLMs on search engines?' and it suggested three alternative searches under keywords, the keyword 'Specificity' has the suggested question 'How do large language models (LLMs) impact the accuracy and relevance of search engine results compared to traditional search algorithms?'

It's a really cool trick that doesn't take much to implement.
Over my dead body will I ever code with AI.
Pay employees and their wages?
People are warned not to put much trust into the ethnicity estimates, sometimes even by the services themselves. Telling western Europeans apart is hard.

It's either matching to specific people in the service's reference group who have declared that they are Scottish, or it's trying to guess based on the mix of ancestral populations 2000+ years ago ("western hunter gatherer", "early Neolithic farmer" etc.)
>Foster was basically the rallying point for people opposed to the grammarian methods of teaching languages that started in Classics but ended up taking over how foreign language is taught in most schools and contexts

Humans naturally learn languages when they are immersed in the language. It sounds like Latin instruction was more focused on rules, and didn't provide that immersion before Foster. I can attest that many other foreign language classes also don't provide enough immersion to really learn the language, although being limited to ~10 hours a week makes that virtually impossible.
To `DELETE FROM` you have to have at least a relatively vague idea what you are doing. Go and find an organization that has their data and component dependency maps ready and up to date :)

One hard delete can expose months worth of bugs.
I know what a WAV file is, and I've even made some electronic music myself.

> ...historical photographs are not in-scope to be added to this project... because such photos existed before this project began.

That contradicts what the website itself says:

> This project is designed to showcase the first known photographs of living specimens of any species. Note that by 'first known' I'm referring to the first known photographs of a species anywhere, not just the first photographs to be submitted to iNaturalist.

> If you see an observation currently in the project that you know is not the first photograph of that species, and you can show the earlier photograph, please do not hesitate to message me and I'll remove it.
I hope ancestry just buys them. They've floated a ton of bad markets and come out unscathed
For every customer that legitimately wants their data deleted there's a hundred that complain their data is gone after confirming deletion. The same customers that mark your transactional email as spam then complain about not being able to get into their account.

Exaggerating here, but I do think soft deletion practices can be partially blamed on real business problems. I'm not sure why anyone would think that using soft deletion on an actual burn account function would be sensible though.
Like browser fingerprinting.
My take on the subject has shifted the last months. I had issues with AI's output, the mistakes, hallucinations.

Now I use AI to go asap to 70% of my code. The last 30% is a manual, low AI, approach where I fix the hallucinations, file structure and do the stuff AI is failing me at.

I use Claude Chat, ChatGPT, Claude Code and Windsurf (switching between those all the time)
> profile and ethnicity information. I'm okay with any of that becoming public

You are probably aware that at least two European countries no longer collect this information, and the reasons for introducing this policy?
'Our data design is too bad to allow anyone to delete anything' is not, to me, a valid reason to prevent actual deletion.
I don't know if anyone else shares my experience, but for me, vibe coding has been a complete miss.

I'm not sure if it's the way I've been prompting, but for anything beyond the banal, LLMs have completely failed to generate what I would consider to be acceptable code.

For anything with WebGL, high-performance networking, or generally anything requiring taste, I think there's still quite a way to go...

Maybe ironically, but it seems to me that we are still _so far_ from being able to generate something like this: https://www.stripe.press/scaling purely from prompting.
I assume they were doing the genotyping service at a loss. I had my entire genome genotyped for almost nothing and now I have the data forever. 23andme service was like a store having the milk in the back selling as a loss leader, but they have no other products to make up for it that you buy on the way out of the store. I see they have now added subscriptions, but who would pay for that crap when it's nonsense like if you will have a widow's peak or freckles and it isn't even right most of the time? I assume they thought they would sell all this data to someone like drug companies, but if they had buyers they wouldn't be going bankrupt.

Most people in Russia who identify as Jewish and/or emigrated to Israel have non-Jewish last names. You really would never know if they didn't file the paperwork.
This product, with the help of advanced image recognition algorithms, can accurately identify the features of stone images, match similar stones in a vast database, and display their names and pictures. It is widely applied in scenarios such as decoration design, stone sales, and personal DIY projects.
Slash Your Cost by 90% with Apache Doris Compute-Storage Decoupled Mode
I get that a little from the company perspective, but it leads to its own issues of perhaps more important magnitude.

If you have data for a user, who wants to delete it, you can soft delete to allow recovery to prevent complaints.

On the other hand, 5 years from now your system gets hacked, and now you have to email some person you haven't done business with in 5 years to tell them their data that you claimed was deleted was leaked.

Sure you can do soft deletions with some hacky actual delete schedule but it doesn't really solve the problem, only reduces the timeline.

Took another look at this and it looks like you can set a profile to use for a site in the website settings, Open Links With Profile settings. You have to visit first, but it does seem to work. Unfortunately still limited to a whole new window, which makes the whole thing rather awkward, but more useful that I thought.
It’s certainly possible to gain that fluency, as Reginaldus demonstrated. But it seemed to me that fluency reading unfamiliar texts simply wasn't the goal of my Latin education; instead, we were studying to know Catullus, Ovid, Horace, Cicero, and Vergil, with a small smattering of other Roman authors. It was an education in classics, not the Latin language. We just weren’t asked to extract information from large volumes of text, speak extemporaneously, or comprehend casual conversation.

The best analogy I can give is this: imagine taking Spanish from grades 7-12, culminating in a full year reading and understanding selections of Don Quixote. The entire curriculum builds towards this capstone year, and other areas of inquiry get very short shrift. Nobody cares if you can live comfortably in a Spanish-speaking country or watch Spanish-language TV. Nobody cares about modern idiom, or any more recent works of literature, or technical writing. s/Don Quixote/Aeneid + a small corpus of Roman poems/g and you have the bulk of my Latin education.

This sounds negative - we weren’t fluent in Latin! But for a teenager, it was a wonderfully deep exploration of Rome’s greatest hits. I loved it.
how about power consumption, cache size, etc?

Sure, it's convenient to have PATH, but why not have an optional way to say "hey, ssh, run /usr/bin/rsync on the remote with the following arguments, directly and without a shell please"? Equivalent to a Dockerfile containing

(IIRC, at least - been a minute since I needed to do this.)
(On which basis?! Do you think it made any sense to intervene throwing on the table random unjustified stances?!)
The reason you need this is that the hypothesis is about the creative not the combination with the platform. You'd want the creative choice to go the same way across platforms.
I think the parent poster was not arguing that allowing this combination of accesses is invalid, just that it can't be called read-ONLY if it's not ONLY read.

Kerberos does support authorization. Windows supports this at the Windows group level.[1] Finer grained control requires something else.

Outsourcing "authorization" to an external service comes across as a really bad idea with huge "backdoor" potential.

Hi, I've been using notequest before and this really hits a string for my needs. There are some places that could be improved.
1. There is lacking logic in the notes, there should be some kind of pattern that an LLM could create that sounds better. For example for left hand usually there could be eg. walking bass/ chord progressions etc, instead of just random notes.
If you need ideas and help on that, you can contact me at (myhackernewsname_at_gmail_dot_com) I am willing to help

2. Now the game is like, press the notes as fast as you can, instead, a musician needs to practice, pressing the note at the right time, which means you can make a metronome + press the notes on time mode, which is even more useful than the present version.

Both statements are in fact correct and non-contradictory. It's confusing, but I believe what they mean in the guidelines is that there are two criteria

- The photos must be on iNaturalist

- The photo must be the first photo of the species ever, not just the first photo on iNaturalist

That is, if a species was ever photographed anywhere before, outside of iNaturalist, that species can't be part of the project, ever.
It’s more because my knowledge of various needed tech sucks. I learn so much from the llm and it’s mistakes too when we discuss the current project.

It's kind of irritating the way you are minimizing the "pros" here (and you aren't the only one at HN who has done this recently). There are people who found their parents and siblings thanks to 23 and Me. I found my father and my half sister. Maybe it's not important to you, but there are people out there who are willing to "pay" a lot to find out who they are.

No, it's confusing but as far as I can tell what they're saying there is that if a species was ever photographed anywhere before, outside of iNaturalist, that species can't be part of the project at all. It's a page for people on iNaturalist who have captured the first known photo of a species.
Interesting, as that would be a violation of the CCPA/CPRA for customers who are California residents, at least.

The "regulatory obligations" sounds like a fake excuse. Is 23andme even regulated beyond how your regular average business might be?
I want to know about - or rather, use - bootc. Unfortunately, the problem is this:

FROM quay.io/fedora/fedora-bootc:41

If you're using Fedora (or maybe RHEL) and happy to use premade base images then it's apparently great. The moment you step off that happy path, good luck; nobody has written the code, and the docs are inadequate to do it yourself. Or at least, they were for me; I wanted to make an Alpine bootc image but everything was shades of "now start from this Fedora image, install this magic package with the systemd integration, invoke the rpm wrapper, and it all works!" which was kinda a problem trying to integrate with a system that had none of those things. It was annoying because I'm pretty sure the tech is actually distro agnostic, but it was too underdocumented to use.
