I'll compare the top spec Ioniq 5 N line with the Model Y AWD Long Range as they're priced the same here in Denmark. The Ioniq has 520 liters of trunk space vs 854 in the Model Y. The Ioniq has 495km of range vs the Y's 586. Software isn't even close - I have tried both. The Tesla wins hands down on software. The only metric the Ioniq wins on is acceleration. Specifically when using special boost mode from stopped. It can do 0-100 in 3.4s vs the Y's 4.8s, which is fast.

For me this is a clear win for Tesla. Anything under 5s is crazy fast to me anyway, so the other things I mention are worth a lot more.

> If a court orders you to preserve user data, could you be held liable for preserving user data?

No, because you turn up to court and show the court order.

It's possible a subsequent case could get the first order overturned, but you can't be held liable for good faith efforts to comply with court orders.

However, if you're operating internationally, then suddenly it's possible that you may be issued competing court orders both of which are "valid". This is the CLOUD Act problem. In which case the only winning move becomes not to play.

Comparable physics, different route to the same effect. It has to do with air compression, speed of sound, etc, shielding the control surfaces and the shape of that effect around the plane as you increase speed. IDK if it has a name. Any youtube explanation of supersonic flight should cover it.

Most higher speed subsonic aircraft recycle the design principals from supersonic aircraft to alleviate the problem. You could on paper dive a Learjet or 747 or other "designed for the higher end of subsonic" aircraft to Mach 2 and retain control authority if you wanted and if the airframe could take it.

I have a family and a wife who doesn't pack light so it's a pretty important one for us. There are options if I'm willing to drop some of those things, but the Y gives me all of it for a reasonable price.

Do you mean I could get something significantly better if I choose not to get the things which are important to me? Because that would be worse for me, not better. I have never cared about the badge.

Out of interest, if I reduced the trunk space a little, which similarly priced EVs could you recommend with more range and better performance than the Model Y AWD Long Range?

I am probably too autistic to recognize remembering a personal datum as a taboo.

However, I am totally on your side regarding LLMs learning data they shouldn't have seen in the first place. IMO, we as a society are too much chicken to act on the current situation. Its plain insane that everyone and their dog knows that libgen has been used to train models, and the companies who did this experiencing NO consequences at all. After that, we shouldn't be surpised if things go downhill from here on.

As usual, the situation is not that black and white. Plenty of grey to be found here.

It is undeniably true that women were and still are oppressed by social constructs designed and enforced by men and statistics show that equality hasn't been reached yet.

Improvement definitely has been made. The difficulty here is that it takes a long time - sometimes a full generation - before the full results of what's done become visible. Meanwhile, you can only guess at what's going to happen. Plus it's a dynamic environment with a strong reactionary push so it's easy to overcorrect.

Misandry definitely is an issue at the margin of the fight. It's easier to equally hate everyone you associate with the issue that work to build something better together in an environment which was and might still be stacked against you. Plus, there might actually be a need for extreme contestation in that it frankly pushes the boundaries.

What would be regretable is if it became the only form of feminism but that doesn't seem to be the case at all.

Is it something specific to iOS Telegram client?

On Android Telegram works with denied access to the contacts and maintains its own, completely separate, contact list (shared with desktop Telegram and other copies logged in to same account). I'm using Telegram longer than I'm using smartphone and it has completely separate contact list (as it should be).

And WhatsApp cannot be used without access to contacts: it doesn't allow to create WatsApp-only contact and complains that it has no place to store it till you grant access to Phone contact list.

To be honest, I prefer to have separate contact lists on all my communication channel, and even sharing contacts between phone app and e-mail app (GMail) bothers me.

Telegram is good in this aspect, it can use its own contact list, not synchronized or shared with anything else, and WhatsApp is not.

> The approach of generating something and then looking for hallucinations is just stupid. To validate the output I have to be an expert.

No. You only need to check for sources, and then verify these sources exist and they support the claims.

It's the very definition of "fact".

In some cases, all you need to do is check if a URL that was cited does exist.

I wonder if it's...er, an autism thing? the feel of the buttons, the tension of the knobs, the plastic they selected, just how it feels literally, it really makes me inspired to play with music, something I'm bad at but get joy from. I HATE how expensive it is, I'm cheap as fuck, but I get so much joy from it that I wouldn't no have one. I've been buying their stuff since they started and I accepted the price because they're small team making physical stuff, I don't know if that is true or not.

Tried Pheonix framework / Elixir in Cursor out of curiosity last weekend and it was the best experience I’ve had so far with agentic coding. I don’t know either yet — purely an experiment. My instructions doc required TDD, a feature list, had links to pheonix/elixir/tailwind/postgres doc and sonnet 4 did a great job utilizing pheonix cli which reduces a lot of boilerplate generation. Proved changes worked with tests at each iteration. The key thing was it didn’t lose its bearings as the project got more complex. Other web app frameworks I’m familiar with invariably get lost adding npm packages left and right, fiddling with config files and wrapped in an “extension cord” needing rescuing. I think there is something to so many node world version changes and approaches in framework implementation in training data that pollute the decision making. Also I realized watching sonnet construct the project was actually a really compelling way of learning a new framework/language to me. I can stop and ask “why are you doing this? how does that work?’ and inspect the code. Made me interested in learning more about elixir.

If anyone has any tips for the most cost effective way for expats to file, please share them here.

I'm doing it all by hand because I'm tired of going through the 'free' apps and entering in all my details, and when I get ready to file it end up being hundreds of dollars to file since the other forms (extra 1040 schedules, 2555, etc) are not included.

I don't think your algorithm is correct. At least on the checkerboard example on the cube face the diagonals are curved. Perspective transformation doesn't do that.

Possibly you do the subdivisions along the edges uniformly in the target space, and map them to uniform subdivisions in the source space, but that's not correct.

edit:

Comparison of the article's and the correct perspective transform:

The key thing I got from this article is that the o3 and Claude 4 projects (I'm differentiating from the models here because the harness of tools around them is critical too) are massively ahead of GPT 4.1 and Gemini 2.5 when it comes to fact checking in a way that benefits from search and web usage.

The o3 finding matches my own experience: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Apr/21/ai-assisted-search/#o3...

Both o3 and Claude 4 have a crucial new ability: they can run tools such as their search tool as part of their "reasoning" phase. I genuinely think this is one of the most exciting new advances in LLMs in the last six months.

When we tried to use Elixir Liveview we found that containerizing it (docker compose) was necessary just because of how demanding the runtime environment is regarding keeping modules up to date and synced, and what that requires of the host operating system.

We'll run prod on one server and dev on 3-4 workstations and nothing will match between any of them without a docker container to give this Elixir app a cleanroom environment to work from.

The project we were trying this on eventually ran out of funding before it got off the ground, and we lost access to our main guy who understood Elixir setup really well, so nowadays the rest of us can't even manage to stand up the service to demo it because of all of the moving parts that get angry about not having their environment set up just right.

I've basically found it the only language more difficult than python to set up an environment for. (Well.. the more I think about it, Gradle and every other mobile development stack I have yet seen is literally Satan's armpit..)

With python (though I rarely code in that either) I can stand up almost anything on almost any machine with miniconda and venv and not have to drag Docker into things.

Node/NPM is a prima donna and a PITA but IME as long as you whack it with a wrench long enough following up on each of its complaints then you'll eventually get things running.

My experience still revolves around PHP or Perl or C on the backend, Raw Javascript or sometimes Elm on the front end, and those all seem to be a lot easier to maintain over a timescale of decades as servers update and browsers gobble up new and different features.

---

What I can say in favor of Elixir Liveview is that we built a smooth as hell SPA using that. It was incredibly user friendly to work with and aesthetically amazing, but the maintenance right down at the foundation was the biggest challenge.

>> For each LLM, we extract static, token-level embeddings from its input embedding layer (the ‘E‘matrix). This choice aligns our analysis with the context-free nature of stimuli typical in human categorization experiments, ensuring a comparable representational basis.

They're analyzing input embedding models, not LLMs. I'm not sure how the authors justify making claims about the inner workings of LLMs when they haven't actually computed a forward pass. The EMatrix is not an LLM, its a lookup table.

Just to highlight the ridiculousness of this research, no attention was computed! Not a single dot product between keys and queries. All of their conclusions are drawn from the output of an embedding lookup table.

The figure showing their alignment score correlated with model size is particularly egregious. Model size is meaningless when you never activate any model parameters. If Bert is outperforming Qwen and Gemma something is wrong with your methodology.

This highlights a significance today's cloud-addicted generation seems to completely ignore: who has control of your data.

I'm not talking about contractual control (which is largely mooted as pretty much every cloud service has a ToS that's grossly skewed toward their own interests over yours, with clauses like indemnifications, blanket grants to share your data with "partners" without specifying who they are or precisely what details are conveyed, mandatory arbitration, and all kinds of other exceptions to what you'd consider respectful decency), but rather where your data lives and is processed.

If you truly want to maintain confidence it'll remain private, don't send it to the cloud in the first place.

The thing is that English takes in words from other languages and keeps doing so, which means that there are several phonetic systems in use already. It's just that they use the same alphabet so you can't tell which one applies to which word.

There are occasional mixed horrors like "ptarmigan", which is a Gaelic word which was Romanized using Greek phonology, so it has the same silent p as "pterodactyl".

There's no academy of the English language anyway, so there's nobody to make such a change. And as others have said, the accent variation is pretty huge.

An asynchronous interrupt would be more expensive, but if you can send it to another core, you do not need to pay the cost on this core, in particular you do not need to enter the kernel. This is particularly useful for remote wakeups when you want to schedule a thread on an another core.

As I mentioned elsewhere, intel was planning to add user-mode interrupts specifically for this sort of scenarios.

>The supply of land is fixed.

The supply of land is not fixed, its highly regulated.

In my country, the state governments have land release targets roughly matching population growth, they have never met these targets.

Then there's zoning. We have wild agricultural zoning practices that prevent agricultural land, even shitty agricultural land, from becoming residential.

Zoning and Regulation limit land supply.

I said I was 99% sure it used to work that way.

But yes, you’re right about editable text being the difference: my memory of long pressing to highlight/select is exactly how text selection works for noneditable text, like in regular web sites in safari.

That’s the big inconsistency, and why I’m always frustrated by iOS text editing. Long pressing normal text highlights it, but long pressing editable text does not.

So it’s not that they changed something, it’s that the behavior is different for editable vs noneditable text, and my brain keeps doing the wrong one. Maybe now that I know about double tapping my brain can finally have a complete picture of the behavior split and I can stop fucking it up each time.

(Although I’m still pretty certain that doing a brief long press, but not long enough for the magnifying glass to show up, used to select a word of text. I can’t prove this though. Maybe I’m remembering the Force Touch days when you used to be able to do a Force Touch while long pressing to expand selection. That would make sense with the timeline.)

I have noticed a lot of premium price design focused this way — instead of creating the most versatile or functional product it is meticulously designed to provide premium "feeling" and satisfaction, or to give rich sensory feedback. Large weighted knobs on expesive audio gear, the smooth hinge resistance and open/close click sound, surface texture — as you say, it does not make a difference on spec sheet, but something in the brain finds the whole experience supremely rewarding and pleasant. So of course if all of that is ignored and the argument is being made purely based on feature set, it becomes one-sided.

I just think that knowing price also plays into this psychological effect. At least, it measurably does in audiophile circle.

It is really incredible how Apple has obviously broken and buggy UX in many primary use cases on their devices, and fail to fix it for generations.

The iPad is particularly bad in this respect. For a decade it would not support the most obvious use case for a device like this: Have it in portrait mode like a notebook, show a video or book app on the top half and notes app on the bottom half. A use case that was solved by the original Macintosh. The most infuriating thing was that you could split the vertical screen into two useless, thing vertical strips---a configuration I have never seen any use case for. Even today now that there is some more configurability and you can vaguely put two apps in this configuration, there is still massive wasted space on the sides and the apps overlap.

My reading is this just adds a dialog box before browser loads RFC1918 ranges. At IP layer, a laptop with 128.130.0.123 on wlan0 should not be able to access 10.0.10.123:80, but I doubt they bother to sanity check that. Just blindly assuming all RFC1918 and only RFC1918 are local should do the job for quite a while.

btw, I've seen that kind of network. I was young, and it took me a while to realize that they DHCP assign global IPs and double NAT it. That was weird.

I get where this is coming from overall, but... I find it hard to feel bad for the industry that caused a good chunk of the crisis itself. Strikes? Falling viewership of yet another reheated hero movie? Low cinema interest? While continuing Hollywood accounting against actors/workers? We still have movies fully produced but not released because of tax/accounting reasons.

I can't look at that and not wonder if it's a real issue or just studios wanting to squeeze more.

> It is unrealistic to expect the compiler to make effective use of all the fancy instructions you paid for with your latest hardware upgrade.

I'd add "yet" - we runinafed that the reason new machines with similar shapes (quad core to quad core of a newer generation) doesn't immediately seem like a large a jump as it ought, in performance, is because it takes time for people other than intel to update their compilers to effectively make use of the new instructions. icc is obviously going to more quickly (in the sense of how long after the CPU is released, not `time`) generate faster executing code on new Intel hardware. But gcc will take longer to catch up.

There's a sweet spot from about 1-4 years after initial release where hardware speeds up, but toward the end of that run programs bloat and wipe all the benefits of the new instructions; leading to needing a new CPU, that isn't that much faster than the one you replaced.

Yet.

Which reminds me I need to benchmark a Linux kernel compile to see if my above supposition is correct, I have the timings from when I first bought it, as compared to a 10 year old HP 40 core machine (ryzen 5950 is 5% faster but used 1/4th the wall power.)

>If we implemented a LVT tomorrow, the renters don’t get additional capacity to pay rent as mana from heaven. The rents wouldn’t budge.

Isn't idea of LVT to replace other taxes? Like income tax. So they would get more capacity as their other tax burden would be lesser.

Obviously if it was entirely new additional tax it would take more time for rents to creep up.
by protocolture | 2025-06-05 10:36:28+00:00
Your question that I answered wasn't about LVT, so shoehorning LVT back in here seems irrelevant.

If your question is, AH BUT SOMETIMES THEY DONT INCREASE RENT ALWAYS SO MAYBE THEY WONT INCREASE IT WITH AN LVT. But we are talking about a situation where the cost to supply a rental property has increased dramatically.

Landlords will fit into 2 categories.

1. Landlords who can absorb the cost.

2. Landlords who cannot absorb the cost.

Landlords have 3 options.

1. Try and absorb the cost.

2. Pass on the cost through increased rent (possibly leaving the property untenanted)

3. Sell

Landlords who cannot absorb the cost either need to pass it on or sell. Theres no "absorb it" long term for them. Likely the vast majority will try to pass the cost on before doing so.

The question remains whether landlords who can absorb the cost, increase prices. If enough of the market bites on the rent increases they likely will.

Also, there's another leg here. If significant numbers of landlords remove their properties from market, scarcity will drive up rental prices anyway. We literally did this to ourselves years ago when we removed negative gearing. Negative gearing has a tendency to drive up rental prices, but it also drives up supply of rental properties. We removed it for a year or two and the result was a dramatic increase in rental prices due to lack of supply. Renters cannot become home owners fast enough to ensure elastic demand, that's why house ownership : rentals is often seen as arbitrage. You take a product from one market and make it available to consumers in another market.

Wikipedia isn't concerned with that kind of thing.

Compare https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_configuration , where the article states "R and S refer to rectus and sinister, Latin for right and left, respectively", despite the facts that (1) it's not like the Latin word for right is obscure; (2) the claim was highlighted as false (in a different section of the article, where it still also appears) on the talk page in 2018.

The problem ultimately isn't a technical one but a political one.

Point 1: Every company has profit incentive to sell the data in the current political climate, all they need is a sneaky way to access it without getting caught. That includes the combo of LLM provider and Escrow non-entity.

Point 2: No company has profit incentive to defend user privacy, or even the privacy of other businesses. So who could run the Escrow service? Another business? Then they have incentive to cheat and help the LLM provider access the data anyway. The government (and which one)? Their intelligence arms want the data just as much as any company does so you're back to square one again.

"Knowledge is power" combined with "Knowledge can be copied without anyone knowing" means that there aren't any currencies presently powerful enough to convince any other entity to keep your secrets for you.

Last week I extracted that image from the original binary and inscribed it on the Bitcoin blockchain using the Ordinals protocol (#96901750).

Why post it here? • It’s an example of re-contextualising early malware as digital art. • Everything (report, source binary, inscription TX) is public, so you can verify the provenance end-to-end. • It touches a lot of HN interests: software archaeology, Bitcoin internals, NFT standards, and long-term data preservation.
