Curl 8.2.0 supports –ca-native and –proxy-ca-native with OpenSSL 3.2 Windows

From "curl: add --ca-native and --proxy-ca-native" https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/11049#issuecomment-1528118... :

> It looks like according to their CHANGES for OpenSSL 3.1 they've added SSL_CERT_URI and for OpenSSL 3.2 they've added SSL_CERT_PATH and are going to deprecate SSL_CERT_DIR (which could do both but had some parsing problem, still I don't get why they would deprecate it for paths). [...]

> curl reads SSL_CERT_DIR (note it's ignored for [Schannel,]) and sets that as the path. I don't know if OpenSSL is now reading the environment itself but the URI is org.openssl.winstore:// not capieng. If you have a master build then try SSL_CERT_URI=org.openssl.winstore:// curl ... and if that doesn't work try curl --capath "org.openssl.winstore://" ...

"OpenSSL Announces Final Release of OpenSSL 3.2.0" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38392887 https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/openssl-3.2.0/NEWS.m... :

> Support for using the Windows system certificate store as a source of trusted root certificates

> This is not yet enabled by default and must be activated using an environment variable. This is likely to become enabled by default in a future feature release

openssl/openssl > "Add support for Windows CA certificate store" https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/18070/files

How should OS System Cert Store(s) be supported on Linux platforms with OpenSSL and e.g. Curl?

PEP-0543 had TLSConfiguration(..., trust_store=DEFAULT:TrustStore) https://peps.python.org/pep-0543/

class TrustStore() https://peps.python.org/pep-0543/#trust-store

And a CipherSuite() class with params and a heading for each of a number of cipher suites; OpenSSL (*), SecureTransport (MacOS,), SChannel (Windows), NSS (Firefox,); tlsdb https://peps.python.org/pep-0543/#cipher-suites

Dutch astronomers prove last piece of gas feedback-feeding loop of black hole

Does the OT potentially confirm models of superfluid quantum space that have Bernoulli's, low pressure and vorticity, Gross-Pitaevski,?

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38370118 :

> > "Gravity as a fluid dynamic phenomenon in a superfluid quantum space. Fluid quantum gravity and relativity." (2017) :

>> [...] Vorticity is interpreted as spin (a particle's internal motion). Due to non-zero, positive viscosity of the SQS, and to Bernoulli pressure, these vortices attract the surrounding quanta, pressure decreases and the consequent incoming flow of quanta lets arise a gravitational potential. This is called superfluid quantum gravity*

Also, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38009426 :

Our embedding technique— that is tailored for RDFS reasoning— consists of layering RDF graphs and encoding them in the form of 3D adjacency matrices where each layer layout forms a graph word. Each input graph and its entailments are then represented as sequences of graph words, and RDFS inference can be formulated as translation of these graph words sequences, achieved through neural machine translation. Our evaluation on LUBM1 synthetic dataset shows 97% validation accuracy and 87.76% on a subset of DBpedia while demonstrating a noise-tolerance unavailable with rule-based reasoners.

VMware/ddlog: Differential datalog

> Bottom-up: DDlog starts from a set of input facts and computes all possible derived facts by following user-defined rules, in a bottom-up fashion. In contrast, top-down engines are optimized to answer individual user queries without computing all possible facts ahead of time. For example, given a Datalog program that computes pairs of connected vertices in a graph, a bottom-up engine maintains the set of all such pairs. A top-down engine, on the other hand, is triggered by a user query to determine whether a pair of vertices is connected and handles the query by searching for a derivation chain back to ground facts. The bottom-up approach is preferable in applications where all derived facts must be computed ahead of time and in applications where the cost of initial computation is amortized across a large number of queries.

From https://community.openlinksw.com/t/virtuoso-openlink-reasoni... https://github.com/openlink/virtuoso-opensource/issues/660 :

> The Virtuoso built-in (rule sets) and custom inferencing and reasoning is backward chaining, where the inferred results are materialised at query runtime. This results in fewer physical triples having to exist in the database, saving space and ultimately cost of ownership, i.e., less physical resources are required, compared to forward chaining where the inferred data is pre-generated as physical triples, requiring more physical resources for hosting the data.

"GDlog: A GPU-Accelerated Deductive Engine" (2023) https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.02206 :

> Abstract: Modern deductive database engines (e.g., LogicBlox and Soufflé) enable their users to write declarative queries which compute recursive deductions over extensional data, leaving their high-performance operationalization (query planning, semi-naïve evaluation, and parallelization) to the engine. Such engines form the backbone of modern high-throughput applications in static analysis, security auditing, social-media mining, and business analytics. State-of-the-art engines are built upon nested loop joins over explicit representations (e.g., BTrees and tries) and ubiquitously employ range indexing to accelerate iterated joins. In this work, we present GDlog: a GPU-based deductive analytics engine (implemented as a CUDA library) which achieves significant performance improvements (5--10x or more) versus prior systems. GDlog is powered by a novel range-indexed SIMD datastructure: the hash-indexed sorted array (HISA). We perform extensive evaluation on GDlog, comparing it against both CPU and GPU-based hash tables and Datalog engines, and using it to support a range of large-scale deductive queries including reachability, same generation, and context-sensitive program analysis . Our experiments show that GDlog achieves performance competitive with modern SIMD hash tables and beats prior work by an order of magnitude in runtime while offering more favorable memory footprint.

Tiny black holes could theoretically be used as a source of power: study

"Using black holes as rechargeable batteries and nuclear reactors" (2023) https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.10587 :

> Abstract: This paper proposes physical processes to use a Schwarzschild black hole as a rechargeable battery and nuclear reactor. As a rechargeable battery, it can at most transform 25\% of input mass into available electric energy in a controllable and slow way. We study its internal resistance, efficiency of discharging, maximum output power, cycle life and totally available energy. As a nuclear reactor, it realizes an effective nuclear reaction `α particles+black hole→positrions+black hole` and can transform 25\% mass of α-particle into the kinetic energy of positrons. This process amplifies the available kinetic energy of natural decay hundreds of times. Since some tiny sized primordial black holes are suspected to have an appreciable density in dark matters, the result of this paper implies that such black-hole-originated dark matters can be used as reactors to supply energy.

Isn't there a potential for net relative displacement and so thus couldn't (microscopic) black holes be a space drive?

Electricity flows like water in 'strange metals,' and physicists don't know why

"Shot noise in a strange metal" (2023) https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abq6100 :

> Abstract: Strange-metal behavior has been observed in materials ranging from high-temperature superconductors to heavy fermion metals. In conventional metals, current is carried by quasiparticles; although it has been suggested that quasiparticles are absent in strange metals, direct experimental evidence is lacking. We measured shot noise to probe the granularity of the current-carrying excitations in nanowires of the heavy fermion strange metal YbRh2Si2. When compared with conventional metals, shot noise in these nanowires is strongly suppressed. This suppression cannot be attributed to either electron-phonon or electron-electron interactions in a Fermi liquid, which suggests that the current is not carried by well-defined quasiparticles in the strange-metal regime that we probed. Our work sets the stage for similar studies of other strange metals.

Innovative Method to Efficiently Harvest Low-Grade Heat for Energy

"Enhancing Efficiency of Low-Grade Heat Harvesting by Structural Vibration Entropy in Thermally Regenerative Electrochemical Cycles" (2023) https://doi.org/10.1002/adma.202303199 :

> Abstract: The majority of waste-heat energy exists in the form of low-grade heat (<100 °C), which is immensely difficult to convert into usable energy using conventional energy-harvesting systems. Thermally regenerative electrochemical cycles (TREC), which integrate battery and thermal-energy-harvesting functionalities, are considered an attractive system for low-grade heat harvesting. Herein, the role of structural vibration modes in enhancing the efficacy of TREC systems is investigated. How changes in bonding covalency, influenced by the number of structural water molecules, impact the vibration modes is analyzed. It is discovered that even small amounts of water molecules can induce the A1g stretching mode of cyanide ligands with strong structural vibration energy, which significantly contributes to a larger temperature coefficient (ɑ) in a TREC system. Leveraging these insights, a highly efficient TREC system using a sodium-ion-based aqueous electrolyte is designed and implemented. This study provides valuable insights into the potential of TREC systems, offering a deeper understanding of the intrinsic properties of Prussian Blue analogs regulated by structural vibration modes. These insights open up new possibilities for enhancing the energy-harvesting capabilities of TREC systems.

Gated suppression of light-driven proton transport through graphene electrodes

"Cheap proton batteries compete with lithium on energy density" (2023) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36926123 :

"Enhancement of the performance of a proton battery" (2023) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03787... :

> Abstract: The present paper reports on experiments to improve theoretical understanding of the basic processes underlying the operation of a ‘proton battery’ with activated carbon as a hydrogen storage electrode. Design changes to enhance energy storage capacity and power output have been identified and investigated experimentally. Key changes made were heating of the overall cell to 70 °C, and replacement of the oxygen-side gas diffusion layer with a much thinner titanium-fibre sheet. A very substantial increase in reversible hydrogen storage capacity to 2.23 wt%H (598 mAh g−1, 882 J g−1) was achieved. This capacity is nearly three times that of the earlier design, and more than double the highest electrochemical hydrogen storage using an acidic electrolyte previously reported. It is hypothesised that the main cause of the major gain in storage is an enhanced water formation reaction on the O-side through reduced flooding. In addition, an alternative mode of discharging a proton battery has been discovered that allows direct generation of hydrogen gas from the hydrogenated carbon material, by a ‘hydrogen-pump’ type of reaction. The hydrogen gas evolved is high purity, and thus may ultimately create opportunities for use of this storage technology in hydrogen supply chains for fuel cell vehicles. [And probably other applications as well]

(Edit) A combined proton battery + graphene proton hydrolysis unit should probably keep the hydrolysis module as a separate part for replaceability?

"Gate-controlled suppression of light-driven proton transport through graphene electrodes" (2023) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-42617-4 :

> Abstract: Recent experiments demonstrated that proton transport through graphene electrodes can be accelerated by over an order of magnitude with low intensity illumination. Here we show that this photo-effect can be suppressed for a tuneable fraction of the infra-red spectrum by applying a voltage bias. Using photocurrent measurements and Raman spectroscopy, we show that such fraction can be selected by tuning the Fermi energy of electrons in graphene with a bias, a phenomenon controlled by Pauli blocking of photo-excited electrons. These findings demonstrate a dependence between graphene’s electronic and proton transport properties and provide fundamental insights into molecularly thin electrode-electrolyte interfaces and their interaction with light.

> Abstract: In this paper, we contend that the objective of representation learning is to compress and transform the distribution of the data, say sets of tokens, towards a mixture of low-dimensional Gaussian distributions supported on incoherent subspaces. The quality of the final representation can be measured by a unified objective function called sparse rate reduction. From this perspective, popular deep networks such as transformers can be naturally viewed as realizing iterative schemes to optimize this objective incrementally. Particularly, we show that the standard transformer block can be derived from alternating optimization on complementary parts of this objective: the multi-head self-attention operator can be viewed as a gradient descent step to compress the token sets by minimizing their lossy coding rate, and the subsequent multi-layer perceptron can be viewed as attempting to sparsify the representation of the tokens. This leads to a family of white-box transformer-like deep network architectures which are mathematically fully interpretable. Despite their simplicity, experiments show that these networks indeed learn to optimize the designed objective: they compress and sparsify representations of large-scale real-world vision datasets such as ImageNet, and achieve performance very close to thoroughly engineered transformers such as ViT.

Show HN: Neum AI – Open-source large-scale RAG framework

Over the last couple months we have been supporting developers in building large-scale RAG pipelines to process millions of pieces of data.

We documented our approach in an HN post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37824547) a couple weeks ago. Today, we are open sourcing the framework we have developed.

The framework focuses on RAG data pipelines and provides scale, reliability, and data synchronization capabilities out of the box.

For those newer to RAG, it is a technique to provide context to Large Language Models. It consists of grabbing pieces of information (i.e. pieces of news articles, papers, descriptions, etc.) and incorporating them into prompts to help contextualize the responses. The technique goes one level deeper in finding the right pieces of information to incorporate. The search for relevant information is done through the use of vector embeddings and vector databases.

Those pieces of news articles, papers, etc. are transformed into a vector embedding that represents the semantic meaning of the information. These vector representations are organized into indexes where we can quickly search for the pieces of information that most closely resembles (from a semantic perspective) a given question or query. For example, if I take news articles from this year, vectorize them, and add them to an index, I can quickly search for pieces of information about the US elections.

To help achieve this, the Neum AI framework features:

Starting with built-in data connectors for common data sources, embedding services and vector stores, the framework provides modularity to build data pipelines to your specification.

The connectors support pre-processing capabilities to define loading, chunking and selecting strategies to optimize content to be embedded. This also includes extracting metadata that is going to be associated to a given vector.

The generated pipelines support large scale jobs through a high throughput distributed architecture. The connectors allow you to parallelize tasks like downloading documents, processing them, generating embedding and ingesting data into the vector DB.

For data sources that might be continuously changing, the framework supports data scheduling and synchronization. This includes delta syncs where only new data is pulled.

Once data is transformed into a vector database, the framework supports querying of the data including hybrid search using the available metadata added during pre-processing. As part of the querying process, the framework provides capabilities to capture feedback on retrieved data as well as run evaluations against different pipeline configurations.

SEC charges Kraken for operating as an unregistered securities exchange

In order to justify such a specific claim against Kraken to be heard, isn't it necessary to first qualify that such assets are themselves securities?

Am I crazy to call this vexatious harassment?

If P then Q:

If {x,y,z} are securities, [ then {Exchanges a, B, and C} have provided securities exchange services of assets {x,y,z} without the requisite license are thus owe a civil fine. ]

But how is a suit against Exchange A the appropriate forum to hear whether assets {x, y, or z} are securities?

Given that - presumably - assets {x,y,z} are not yet ruled to be securities, there was not sufficient cause or standing to make a claim of bad faith or intent to provide exchange services for unregistered securities.

Exchange A operated in good faith, pursued the requisite state and federal procedures for assessing whether or not such assets were securities, and specifically does not intend to sell securities.

Should there be an is_this_a_security() function of a US government regulatory agency, defendants would be required to request such review before listing said specific types of assets.

I'm not sure that it's anywhere explicitly stated that the banks' socialist FDIC corporation justified allowing investing of savings deposits. They created a large shared prepaid credit line for themselves in order to operate safely.

Banks invest in non-securities; without any agreement for future performance.

Banks invest in treasuries, which are tokenizable non-security deposits.

Show HN: New visual language for teaching kids to code

Pickcode is a new language and editor for getting kids started with coding. The code editing experience is totally structured, where you select choices from menus rather than typing. I made Pickcode after experiences teaching kids both block coding (Scratch, App Inventor) and Python. To me, block coding is too far removed from regular coding for kids to make the connection. Pickcode provides a much clearer transition path for students to Python/JS/Java. Our target market is middle/early high school kids, and that’s who we’ve tested the product with during development.

On the site, you can do tutorials to make chatbots, animated drawings, and 2D games. We have a full Intro to Pickcode course, as well as an Intro to Python course where you make regular console programs with a regular text editor. There are 30 or so free lessons accessible with an account, and the rest are paywalled for $5/month.

For professional programmers, the editor is probably pretty frustrating to use (no vim keybindings!), but I hope it’s at least interesting to play with from a UI perspective. If you have kids aged 10-14, I’d love any feedback you have from trying it out with them. I love talking to users, reach out at charlie@pickcode.io!

> Until the new study, many experts believed the majority of rogue waves formed when two waves combined into a single, massive mountain of water. Based on the new equation, however, it appears the biggest influence is owed to “linear superposition.” First documented in the 1700’s, such situations occur when two wave systems cross paths and reinforce one another, instead of combining. This increases the likelihood of forming massive waves’ high crests and deep troughs. Although understood to exist for hundreds of years, the new dataset offers concrete support for the phenomenon and its effects on wave patterns.

I'm interested in having high-quality math diagrams on a personal website. I want the quality to be comparable to TikZ, but the workflows are cumbersome and it doesn't integrate with MathJax/KateX.

Ideally I would be able to produce the diagrams in JS with KaTeX handling rendering the labels, but this doesn't seem to exist (I'm a software engineer so I'm wondering if I should try to make it...). Nice features also include having the diagram being controllable by JS or animatable, but that's not a requirement.

What are other people using?

Things I've considered:

TikZ options:

* TikZ exported to SVG

* Writing the TikZ in something else, e.g. I found this library PyTikZ which is old but I could update things to it, that way at least I don't have to wrangle TikZ's horrible syntax much myself. I could theoretically write a JS version of this.

* Maybe the same thing, JS -> TikZ, but also run TikZ in WebAssembly so that the whole thing lives in the browser.

* Writing TikZ but ... having ChatGPT do it so I don't have to learn to antiquated syntax.

Non-TikZ options:

* InkScape

* JSXGraph, but it isn't very pretty

* ???

> A fundamental decision we've made for the pganalyze Indexing Engine is that we break down queries into smaller parts we call "scans". Scans are always on a single table, and you may be familiar with this concept from reading an EXPLAIN plan. For example, in an EXPLAIN plan you could see a Sequential Scan or Index Scan, both representing a different scan method for the same scan on a given table.

Show HN: Open-source tool for creating courses like Duolingo

I'm launching UneeBee, an open-source tool for creating interactive courses like Duolingo:

GitHub repo: https://github.com/zoonk/uneebee Demo: https://app.uneebee.com/

It's pretty early-stage, so there's a lot of things to improve. Everything on this project is going to be public, so you can check the roadmap on GitHub too: https://github.com/orgs/zoonk/projects/11

I'm creating this project because I love Duolingo and I wanted the same kind of experience to learn other things as well.

But I think this could be useful to other people too. I'll soon launch three products using UneeBee:

- Wikaro: Focused on enterprise. It allow companies to have their own white-label Duolingo. I think this is going to be great for onboarding and internal training.

- Educasso: Focused on schools. It will allow teachers to easily create interactive lessons, compliant to local school curriculum. I want to make it in a way that saves teacher's time, so they focus more on their students rather than lesson planning.

- Wisek: Marketplace for interactive courses where creators will be able to earn money creating those courses.

I'm not sure this is going to work out but, worst case scenario, I'll have products that I can use myself because I'm a terrible learner using traditional ways. Interactive learning is super useful to me, so I hope it will be to other people too.

If you have some spare time, please give me your brutal feedback. I really want to improve this product, so no need to be nice - just let me know your thoughts. :)

PS. I'm also launching it on Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/uneebee

The team achieved this record efficiency through the usage of high-performance cells optimized to absorb higher-energy infrared light when compared to past TPV designs. This design builds on previous work from the NREL team.

> Another crucial design feature leading to the high efficiency is a highly reflective gold mirror at the back of the cell. Much of the emitted infrared light has a longer (less energetic) wavelength than what the cell's active layers can absorb. This back surface reflector bounces 93% of that unabsorbed light back to the emitter, where it is reabsorbed and reemitted, improving the overall efficiency of the system. Further improvements to the reflectance of the back reflector could drive future TPV efficiencies close to or above 50%.

Wikidata, with 12B facts, can ground LLMs to improve their factuality

The objectively true data part?

Also there's Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) https://www.promptingguide.ai/techniques/rag :

> For more complex and knowledge-intensive tasks, it's possible to build a language model-based system that accesses external knowledge sources to complete tasks. This enables more factual consistency, improves reliability of the generated responses, and helps to mitigate the problem of "hallucination".

> Meta AI researchers introduced a method called Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to address such knowledge-intensive tasks. RAG combines an information retrieval component with a text generator model. RAG can be fine-tuned and its internal knowledge can be modified in an efficient manner and without needing retraining of the entire model.

> RAG takes an input and retrieves a set of relevant/supporting documents given a source (e.g., Wikipedia). The documents are concatenated as context with the original input prompt and fed to the text generator which produces the final output. This makes RAG adaptive for situations where facts could evolve over time. This is very useful as LLMs's parametric knowledge is static.

> RAG allows language models to bypass retraining, enabling access to the latest information for generating reliable outputs via retrieval-based generation.

> Lewis et al., (2021) proposed a general-purpose fine-tuning recipe for RAG. A pre-trained seq2seq model is used as the parametric memory and a dense vector index of Wikipedia is used as non-parametric memory (accessed using a neural pre-trained retriever). [...]

> RAG performs strong on several benchmarks such as Natural Questions, WebQuestions, and CuratedTrec. RAG generates responses that are more factual, specific, and diverse when tested on MS-MARCO and Jeopardy questions. RAG also improves results on FEVER fact verification.

> This shows the potential of RAG as a viable option for enhancing outputs of language models in knowledge-intensive tasks.

So, with various methods, I think having ground facts in the process somehow should improve accuracy.

Is Delaware the cheapest place to incorporate?

I am living in Taiwan and want to create a startup. The business will be mostly open source and likely to have low to no revenue.

Very few software licenses accept liability, including open source software licenses. Is that conscionable? Service Level Agreements (99% uptime and ZenDesk email-in customer support or better etc) cost money.

E.g. LegalZoom (no affiliation) has affiliate attorneys in many states, including Delaware.

YouTube may face criminal complaints in EU for using ad-block detection scripts

Why do you pretend that you are entitled to free video storage and bandwidth from YouTube? You haven't been sleighted. That service costs money to provide.

No, you don't have a right to free service either. Do you pay your other bills while you demand free rendered services from these companies?

Having a disability or similar does not entitle you to an unsubsidized Times Square with no ads.

(NASA is running their own streaming network and competing; it can be done. EU should try to run competing free video streaming businesses before shoving preferred American companies around with anti-competitive claims. EU haven't run a video hosting business that's been prevented from competing by the success, existence, and approved mergers and acquisitions of American media companies; and so EU video hosting businesses haven't and can't have been anti-conpetitively disadvantaged.)

I also run ad blockers for various justifiable reasons; but I don't tell myself that I have a right to free shtuff.

How the heck can you require only Netflix to host 30% local EU content and also demand free video streaming service with no ads?

And this: "I hate war, but the corporate media of the 2000s sold it to me and then didn't pay the bill; so we need citizen media."

I don't think we're entitled to free video streaming; maybe because I remember how much it costs to host an .mp4 without HLS on a shared hosting account without nginx-rtmp-module (C and ffmpeg, not yet Rust) and how long it takes to encode video without buying custom hardware video encoding accelerator cards and low-volume ASIC/FPGA TLS load balancer accelerators because now video over HTTPS, and because I don't want to pull media from your MediaGoblin tube site.

I don't support artists suing fans listening from the streets.

Artists are entitled to proceeds from their work if that's how they want to run the show.

I do support paying artists with the audio fingerprinting that YouTube pioneered.

(As an artist and a visual artist - it doesn't matter what kind - I don't want to ruin YouTube with payout demands; but if musical artists are due their cut for their plays, then visual artists are too. No musical artists have yet stood up for the plight of visual artists. Nobody has yet determined how to pay everyone on a production with a smart contract that gives them their fair cut for their contribution to the collaborative ari project.)

It costs money to encode, host, and moderate video, live video, comments, and live chats.

It costs money to stream video.

Good content costs money to create, in an ad hominem-d influencer-affected landscape devoid of critical thinking and media literacy.

Artists don't get paid when you stream for free without ads or premium subscription.

How can we pay artists and content producers and privately bootstrapped infrastructure if the marginal cost of a stream is not offset by the marginal returns of a stream?

Content creators have real costs.

What is fair? Selling to the highest bidder. Approved mergers and acquisitions. Strategies against hostile corporate takeover. Taking the bank's money and your creditworthiness and bootstrapping. Penny-pinching to scale and gain market share. Appeasing shareholders/owners. Charging people when they use hours of free services per week.

That they've agreed to sell their content on a network with ads (which in particular enables low income folks to be fans) does not entitle me to free shtyff from them; though I may also have a justified medical reason for tuning out ads entirely unless they're funny.

You do not have the right to stream video for free from YouTube.com.

That they offer an ad-supported service does not entitle us to an ad-free service.

Limiting playback without ads is not beyond the rights of the information service provider.

Maybe it's a lack of technical understanding.

Are you familiar with keggerator systems with usage quotas? ("Free as in beer")

How can a computerized keggerator system (or a bartender) limit a person to a specific number of drafts from the tap? Is that spyware, or what you agree to when you draw from their kegs?

[+]

> would not send the video stream to you until the advertisement was done playing

Is this really what consumers prefer?

Logged-in users necessarily carry state in some way such that they are identifiable as a logged-in user. "Session cookies" (and 'super cookies' etc) are standard practice for tracking which users are logged in.

YouTube does not and has not required login to view creators' videos and shorts.

And now don't they - just YouTube, hopefully - have to require login for their TOS to be a recognized agreement that authorizes determining whether the user is logged in and not stealing hours of free services.

[+]

Why are you/they trying to force YouTube to require login to view video?!

Isn't this about privacy!? How can free video plays have privacy if login is required to prevent freeloading hours of free service that others pay for?

That would be a significant pivot away from free video that democratizes video, and from video URLs that people share to walled garden video URLs.

[+]

I think a lot of that is the (musical) artists/businesspeople demanding a higher - most reasonable - cut, so we all get more ads.

Just think how expensive YouTube would be if artists started demanding royalties for works that match their video fingerprints (in addition to the payouts according to audio fingerprints that YouTube pioneered).

Encoding, moderation, storage, and bandwidth cost money. I'm sure the YouTube financials and margin are posted.

A video streaming service can afford to operate without ads only if: _____.

You understand this if you've ever tried to host (multiply-reencoded) video on a shared hosting service with a bandwidth quota for $10-$20 a month.

https://WebMonetization.org/ is one proposed solution to advertising-supported media.

AI chemist finds molecule to make oxygen on Mars after sifting through millions

"Directive" -- Wall-E

"Automated synthesis of oxygen-producing catalysts from Martian meteorites by a robotic AI chemist" (2023) https://www.nature.com/articles/s44160-023-00424-1 :

> Living on Mars requires the ability to synthesize chemicals that are essential for survival, such as oxygen, from local Martian resources. However, this is a challenging task. Here we demonstrate a robotic artificial-intelligence chemist for automated synthesis and intelligent optimization of catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction from Martian meteorites. The entire process, including Martian ore pretreatment, catalyst synthesis, characterization, testing and, most importantly, the search for the optimal catalyst formula, is performed without human intervention. Using a machine-learning model derived from both first-principles data and experimental measurements, this method automatically and rapidly identifies the optimal catalyst formula from more than three million possible compositions. The synthesized catalyst operates at a current density of 10 mA cm−2 for over 550,000 s of operation with an overpotential of 445.1 mV, demonstrating the feasibility of the artificial-intelligence chemist in the automated synthesis of chemicals and materials for Mars exploration.

> The lack of a magnetic field, its relatively small mass, and its atmospheric photochemistry, all would have contributed to the evaporation and loss of its surface liquid water over time.[15] Solar wind–induced ejection of Martian atmospheric atoms has been detected by Mars-orbiting probes, indicating that the solar wind has stripped the Martian atmosphere over time. For comparison, while Venus has a dense atmosphere, it has only traces of water vapor (20 ppm) as it lacks a large, dipole-induced, magnetic field.[14][16][15] Earth's ozone layer provides additional protection. Ultraviolet light is blocked before it can dissociate water into hydrogen and oxygen. [17]

> Abstract: Controlling heat flow is a key challenge for applications ranging from thermal management in electronics to energy systems, industrial processing, and thermal therapy. However, progress has generally been limited by slow response times and low tunability in thermal conductance. In this work, we demonstrate an electronically gated solid-state thermal switch using self-assembled molecular junctions to achieve excellent performance at room temperature. In this three-terminal device, heat flow is continuously and reversibly modulated by an electric field through carefully controlled chemical bonding and charge distributions within the molecular interface. The devices have ultrahigh switching speeds above 1 megahertz, have on/off ratios in thermal conductance greater than 1300%, and can be switched more than 1 million times. We anticipate that these advances will generate opportunities in molecular engineering for thermal management systems and thermal circuit design.

So, I wrote this. Propellers, motors, batteries, airframe are their own components and can be mixed and matched. The code lets you create any number of propellers, and an optimization function learns a PID controller for that vehicle. Additionally, there are convenience functions to visualize in 3D and sensor measurements.

Research achieves photo-induced superconductivity on a chip

> Their work, now published in Nature Communications, also shows that the electrical response of photo-excited K3C60 is not linear, that is, the resistance of the sample depends on the applied current. This is a key feature of superconductivity, validates some of the previous observations and provides new information and perspectives on the physics of K3C60 thin films.

"Superconducting nonlinear transport in optically driven high-temperature K3C60" (2023) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-42989-7 :

> Abstract: Optically driven quantum materials exhibit a variety of non-equilibrium functional phenomena, which to date have been primarily studied with ultrafast optical, X-Ray and photo-emission spectroscopy. However, little has been done to characterize their transient electrical responses, which are directly associated with the functionality of these materials. Especially interesting are linear and nonlinear current-voltage characteristics at frequencies below 1 THz, which are not easily measured at picosecond temporal resolution. Here, we report on ultrafast transport measurements in photo-excited K3C60. Thin films of this compound were connected to photo-conductive switches with co-planar waveguides. We observe characteristic nonlinear current-voltage responses, which in these films point to photo-induced granular superconductivity. Although these dynamics are not necessarily identical to those reported for the powder samples studied so far, they provide valuable new information on the nature of the light-induced superconducting-like state above equilibrium Tc. Furthermore, integration of non-equilibrium superconductivity into optoelectronic platforms may lead to integration in high-speed devices based on this effect.

Autonomous lab discovers best-in-class quantum dot in hours instead of years

> The goal in this study was to find the doped perovskite quantum dot with the highest "quantum yield," or the highest ratio of photons the quantum dot emits (as infrared or visible wavelengths of light) relative to the photons it absorbs (via UV light).

"Smart Dope: A Self-Driving Fluidic Lab for Accelerated Development of Doped Perovskite Quantum Dots," (2023) https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aenm.202302303

> Abstract: Metal cation-doped lead halide perovskite (LHP) quantum dots (QDs) with photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) higher than unity, due to quantum cutting phenomena, are an important building block of the next-generation renewable energy technologies. However, synthetic route exploration and development of the highest-performing QDs for device applications remain challenging. In this work, Smart Dope is presented, which is a self-driving fluidic lab (SDFL), for the accelerated synthesis space exploration and autonomous optimization of LHP QDs. Specifically, the multi-cation doping of CsPbCl3 QDs using a one-pot high-temperature synthesis chemistry is reported. Smart Dope continuously synthesizes multi-cation-doped CsPbCl3 QDs using a high-pressure gas-liquid segmented flow format to enable continuous experimentation with minimal experimental noise at reaction temperatures up to 255°C. Smart Dope offers multiple functionalities, including accelerated mechanistic studies through digital twin QD synthesis modeling, closed-loop autonomous optimization for accelerated QD synthetic route discovery, and on-demand continuous manufacturing of high-performing QDs. Through these developments, Smart Dope autonomously identifies the optimal synthetic route of Mn-Yb co-doped CsPbCl3 QDs with a PLQY of 158%, which is the highest reported value for this class of QDs to date. Smart Dope illustrates the power of SDFLs in accelerating the discovery and development of emerging advanced energy materials.

To the best of our knowledge, only a few publications conducted analytical studies of the optical force evolution. Very recent paper employs the signal theory to derive the imaginary part of the Maxwell stress tensor, which is responsible for the oscillating optical force and torque [76]. The optical force is studied under two-wave excitation acting on a half-space [40] and on cylinders [77], and a systematic analytical study of the time evolution of the optical force has not yet been reported.

Ask HN: What are good books on SW architecture that don't sell microservices?

There have been multiple discussions of how the microservices movement did more harm than good, how a modular monolith can be a much better option.

I wish there was a comprehensive book (ideally) that is practical, pragmatic, doesn't advocate the use of microservices just because it is cool, etc.

Some books that are often recommended have "microservices" in their names which is a pretty bad start.

For example, I am thinking of how two services should communicate (I am unfortunately guilty of having more services that I really needed). There are multiple options and the choice depends on factors like synchronous vs asynchronous so I would like to read a detailed analysis of all tradeoffs and considerations.

Electrical switching of the edge current chirality in quantum Hall insulators

"Electrical switching of the edge current chirality in quantum anomalous Hall insulators" (2023) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41563-023-01694-y :

> A quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) insulator is a topological phase in which the interior is insulating but electrical current flows along the edges of the sample in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, as dictated by the spontaneous magnetization orientation. Such a chiral edge current eliminates any backscattering, giving rise to quantized Hall resistance and zero longitudinal resistance. Here we fabricate mesoscopic QAH sandwich Hall bar devices and succeed in switching the edge current chirality through thermally assisted spin–orbit torque (SOT). The well-quantized QAH states before and after SOT switching with opposite edge current chiralities are demonstrated through four- and three-terminal measurements. We show that the SOT responsible for magnetization switching can be generated by both surface and bulk carriers. Our results further our understanding of the interplay between magnetism and topological states and usher in an easy and instantaneous method to manipulate the QAH state.

The idea was given a boost by the discovery that thin films of magnetic materials exhibit similar behavior without the need for a strong external magnetic field—something known as the quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAH)—which makes building electronic devices that harness the phenomenon much more practical.

One stumbling block has been that switching the direction of these edge currents—a crucial step in many information-processing tasks—could be done only by passing an external magnetic field over the material. Now, researchers at Penn State University have demonstrated for the first time that they can switch the direction by simply applying a pulse of current.

Show HN: MicroLua – Lua for the RP2040 Microcontroller

MicroLua allows programming the RP2040 microcontroller in Lua. It packages the latest Lua interpreter with bindings for the Pico SDK and a cooperative threading library.

MicroLua is licensed under the MIT license.

I wanted to learn about Lua and about the RP2040 microcontroller. This is the result :)

OpenWRT's LuCI WebUI, Torch ML, and embedded interpreters in game engines are also written in Lua.

Apache Arrow's C GLib implementation works with Lua. From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38103326 :

> Apache Arrow already supports C, C++, Python, Rust, Go and has C GLib support Lua: https://github.com/apache/arrow/tree/main/c_glib/example/lua

OpenWRT is a Make-based Linux distro for embedded devices with limited RAM and flash ROM, x86, and docker. OpenWRT is built on `uci` (and procd and ubusd instead of systemd and dbus). UCI is an /etc/config/* dotted.key=value configuration system which procd sys-v /etc/init.d/* scripts read values in from when regenerating their configuration when $1 is e.g. 'start', 'restart', or 'reload' per sys-v. LuCI is the OpenWRT web UI which is written in Lua; which is now implemented mostly as a JSON-RPC API instead of with server-side HTML templates for usability and performance on embedded devices.

Notes on how to write a LuCI app in Lua: https://github.com/x-wrt/luci/commit/73cda4f4a0115bb05bbd3d1...

It's probably impossible to build OpenWRT (and opkg packages) for an RP2040W.

Pix2tex: Using a ViT to convert images of equations into LaTeX code

From "STEM formulas" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36839748 :

> latex2sympy parses LaTeX and generates SymPy symbolic CAS Python code (w/ ANTLR) and is now merged in SymPy core but you must install ANTLR before because it's an optional dependency. Then, sympy.lambdify will compile a symbolic expression for use with TODO JAX, TensorFlow, PyTorch,.

  mamba install -c conda-forge sympy antlr # pytorch tensorflow jax  # jupyterlab jupyter_console
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36159017 : sympy.utilities.lambdify.lambdify() , sympytorch, sympy2jax

But then add tests! Tests for LaTeX equations that had never been executable as code.

There are a number of ways to generate tests for functions and methods with and without parameter and return types.

Property-based testing is one way to auto-generate test cases.

Property testing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Property_testing

https://github.com/HypothesisWorks/hypothesis :

> Hypothesis is a family of testing libraries which let you write tests parametrized by a source of examples. A Hypothesis implementation then generates simple and comprehensible examples that make your tests fail. This simplifies writing your tests and makes them more powerful at the same time, by letting software automate the boring bits and do them to a higher standard than a human would, freeing you to focus on the higher level test logic.

> This sort of testing is often called "property-based testing", and the most widely known implementation of the concept is the Haskell library QuickCheck, but Hypothesis differs significantly from QuickCheck and is designed to fit idiomatically and easily into existing styles of testing that you are used to, with absolutely no familiarity with Haskell or functional programming needed.

Fuzzing is another way to auto-generate tests and test cases; by testing combinations of function parameters as a traversal through a combinatorial graph.
