What does all that fast charging do to batteries though?

I'm surprisingly ignorant on this. ICE engine is fast-recharge as baseline; feels like batteries will forever have slow charge as baseline, fast charge as emergency occasional compromise that you know is killing your durability. This is where hydrogen seemed an exciting alternative. Am I wrong?

> There is a sacrosanct line between "public" and "private," "mine" and "yours." That line cannot be crossed by Western governments without a warrant.

This is a self-delusion, I am afraid. The line has been crossed more than once, and it will be crossed again. UK and Australian governments are just two prime examples of waving terrorism and pedobear banners as a pretext to get invasive with each new legislation, and the Oz government already has a new legislation draft to make it a crime to refuse cooperation with law enforcing services when they request access to the encrypted content (think Signal messages). Also, refer to the Witness K case to see how cases that are unfavourable to the standing government completely bypass a «trustworthy» Western judicial system, including the Minister of Justice.

CSAM is guaranteed to be abused under whatever new pretext politicians can come up with, and we won't even know that Apple has been quietly subjugated to comply with it in those jurisdictions. There will be even less transparency and even more abuse of CSAM in «non-Western» countries. That is the actual worry.
Great questions! The hardest part was probably getting our initial customer. This is inherently sensitive company info, and getting the initial social proof & trust from a big name opened a lot of doors for others to trust us.

We have about 60 agencies verified with us so far. What's interesting about this problem is that the company dictates how government agencies contact them. As a result, the moment our customers adopt Kodex, they automatically pull in any government agency that wants to contact them. We have new government agents signing up everyday to send our customers requests.

We do use an annual subscription pricing model.

I see The Machine is as a metaphor for the intermingling of Government, Family, Religion, Technology, and Business. Those systems are the only things powerful enough to keep the others in check, using each of their specific monopolies. When they stop competing, there is nothing left to prevent individual people from getting steamrolled.
Show HN: How rich could you have been if you invested your Stimulus Checks?
The fact that inflation is going up exactly as much as it should kind of destroys that idea. There are lots of conspiracy theorists that say real inflation is something like 10% per year and the government is suppressing it into a convenient range for the sake of specific policies.

Well, if it were that simple they would simply report another manipulated inflation number and sleep well at night.

Let's assume we accept that there is actually double digit inflation of some sort then what meaning would it have to the economy or monetary policy? Honestly, I'd say it would have zero relevance. Ok, houses went up and now we have to make money scarce and make people unemployed because of that? Building a house creates jobs, selling a house doesn't.

Jack Tramiel was the OG of cutthroat business practices. He bought Basic for a flat fee from Gates in 1977, that included rights to modify and ship on any hardware platform he wanted.

>Doing business with Gates was decent, Tramiel said. "He came to see me, tried to sell me Basic, and he told me that I don't have to give him any money, all I had to give him was $3 per unit. I told him I was already married," Tramiel said.

>Tramiel instead told Gates he'd pay a flat fee of $25,000, rejecting the idea of paying $3 for each Commodore 64 sold. "In about six weeks [Gates] came and took that $25,000. Since then he did not speak to me," Tramiel said.

Ive charged plenty of times on road trips on both the Tesla and Electrify America networks. Charge time is usually under 20-30 at places and times I’d already be stopping to use the bathroom and stretch my legs.

In regards to the chargers in your work garage: most modern charge systems let you set idle fees. If you install anything worthwhile you could easily configure it so people have to move after their car has been sitting fully charged for an hour.
I agree. While the difference is slight, one feels almost expected, the other is creepy and invasive.

Considering how often Apple gives up customer data without a fight when requested to by the government, I don't really believe that.

According to Apple, they respond to government data requests with customers' data ~85% of the time, and 92% in cases of "emergencies"[1].

Apple gave customer data from over 31,000 users/accounts based on FISA requests and National Security Letter requests in the first half of 2020 alone[1].

During that same 6 month period, Apple provided customers' data to the government's data requests (not FISC related) about 9,000 times[1].

"Apple says it will scan only in the United States and other countries to be added one by one, only when images are set to be uploaded to iCloud, and only for images that have been identified by the National Center for Exploited and Missing Children and a small number of other groups."

First reference I read about adding other countries as a done deal, and especially about an incredibly opaque "small number of other groups" being involved as well.

Man, after all they've said about being obsessed with privacy they're really not doing themselves any favors here. What a tragedy.
Hello, user with two screens with two different DPIs (and two separate resolutions as well, and one of them a giant touch-screen drawing tablet). Nice to meet you, I use Arch btw.

X11's handling of different DPIs is annoying but workable; there's a couple of different possible methods of handling it that have their own pros/cons. Per-monitor scaling is supported, but I personally don't like the way it's handled, so instead I just pick a happy medium scaling that works OK for both monitors. My understanding is that Wayland makes this easier, but I haven't switched over yet because I'm waiting either for GPU prices to drop or for NVidia to figure out whether it's ever going to play nice with Wayland.

There are definitely pain points with Linux, but it's completely serviceable as a workstation computer, the meme is really dead at this point. If you're on a touchscreen device, Gnome's most recent release arguably has comparable if not better touch handling than Windows (admittedly not a high bar to clear, but remarkable considering how bad Linux's touchscreen support used to be). I use a Mac at work so I'll fit in with my coworkers, but outside of work I do not own a single computer with Windows installed on it.

I'm not going to tell everyone to switch to Linux, there are very valid reasons why someone might not want to, including an increased technical burden. That's real, it's just not the giant hurdle that a lot of people seem to think it is. The "year of the Linux desktop" is really out of touch in my experience, modern Linux as a desktop OS is fine; it's perfectly serviceable as a professional environment for a lot of people. I use Linux in part because it makes it easier for me to get an ergonomic setup for drawing tablets, device compatibility, etc...

And at some point I figured out that I don't really care what desktop Linux's market share is, because even <1% still seems to be big enough that the desktop stays usable for professional work and for more complicated device/media setups, which is all I need it to do.
Because it's a contract between you and apple. You don't have to use their phones and they're a corp not the government. Personally I see it as an underhanded attempt for the government to use apple as a police force in everything but actually deputizing them. They're using a loop hole in the 4th amendment to spy on you without a warrant.

Do any of the models support incremental training if one happens to have more data than memory, due to both having many timepoints and also many features?

If not, have you seen python libraries for timeseries or regular machine learning that do well with very large training sets?
This reminds me of the overseas cash reserves that corporations hold. They basically wait for a tax holiday. Now that inflation is there, that strategy has an obvious problem.

You're right about consumer stimulus. The worst thing about inflation is that it is unpredictable. Pumping the markets with trillions without meaningfully impacting inflation just causes more unpredictability. Just do "QE for the people", hit your inflation goal and then never talk about low inflation again.
According to Apple's technical summary:

"The threshold is selected to provide an extremely low (1 in 1 trillion) probability of incorrectly flagging a given account. This is further mitigated by a manual review process wherein Apple reviews each report to confirm there is a match..."

So no, "one in a trillion" doesn't include manual review.

Well, then there are still the thing that have copyright today!

I think what he is saying is that Apple has consistently not acted in the interest of consumers. Therefore, why should we take their privacy claims seriously? Remember when they attacked journalists, for example? How about the corporate culture of secrecy? That is far from consumer friendly.
I expect them to have some actual correlation over time for a causal effect look at say 1960 to 1970 and the graphs have nothing in common. Hell some peaks look years early others late but most don’t have anything to do with each other.
Ok.

So iCloud Photos circa 2020 [and Google Photos and Facebook and Dropbox and OneDrive] aren’t a risk you should be willing to take.

This feature doesn’t change anything in that regard; the scanning was already happening.
Yeah. Doing a Google search for best anything returns pages of content farms and Pinterest links. Remember when Google search used to be good?
Because you're searching for people, not documents.

For a normal law enforcement context, say you bust 1 drug dealer, and are trying to find more. Maybe they have an image of a "contract" (document outlining terms of a drug deal) on their phone. You could find the other parties to that contract by searching everyone's phones for that image.

For a national security context, you could imagine equivalents to the above, you could also imagine searching for classified documents that are believed to have been leaked, or maybe searching for documents you stole from an adversary that you believe there spies are likely to be storing on their phones.

I'm saying documents here instead of images, but plenty of documents are just images, and I have little doubt that they could get this program to expand to include "scan PDFs, because you could make a CSAM into a pdf" (if it doesn't already?).
Well it certainly amplifies it but apart from comments it’s not an original content producer. Polarization in the US is manufactured by politicians and monetized by big business donors. This is why it’s Fox News entertainment. In the past we had yellow journalism etc…. It has certainly reduced the cost and effort to reach a lot of people and achieve critical mass. But any community has this. My local school board meetings are filled with covid deniers, anti maskers. These are akin to book banners and the whole critical race theory conspiracy. It’s all manufactured for political aim.

> Semantic version is mostly bullshit anyway. You can never guarantee that a non-breaking change is non-breaking for every single one of your users.

You are misunderstanding the scope of SemVer. It's purely about intentional changes to public interfaces. It should go without saying that no versioning scheme can ever hope to indicate whether or not new bugs have been introduced or uncovered that impact your consumer of said interface, nor can it possibly anticipate potential bugs in consumers that could be triggered by any changes that result in valid but previously unseen data being returned. It also doesn't say anything about the update process itself. If an update fails in such a way that your consumer can't use the interface that has nothing to do with the version number.

No one reasonable has ever claimed that SemVer could allow you to just YOLO your updates without testing. When implemented properly it provides a comfort level for updates that should give you an idea of how closely you should look at the changes being made and how they might impact whatever you have consuming that interface.
Put another way, you're in favor with forcing everyone to die hundreds of years early. "Nasty, brutish, and short" indeed.

I'm calling bullshit on "time constraints as meaningfulness" too. That's just the subjective time dilation we experience during stressful situations, like in sports.

We have so many aphorisms to sooth the fear of death, but that doesn't mean they're necessarily true in a post-mortality culture.
We naturally do this to ourselves: programming ourselves using positive and negative reinforcement/stimulus. Our “rational” selves are capable of training some odd responses into our “irrational” selves. Some people do it very purposefully.

Yes, you're complaining about provider problems. All terraform does is translate HCL into commands against the providers' own APIs. Right around the transition periods between 0.11 through 0.14, AWS, Google and Azure were rewriting large sections of their own public-facing APIs, changing tons of behaviors and then rewriting their Terraform providers to match the API changes.

That's an issue with those providers' APIs and how their Terraform provider was architected. Most of the other Terraform providers were smooth-sailing during the same period, save for the major challenges involved in updating 0.11 to 0.12.

You're putting the blame in the wrong place. In the case of all three of those cloud providers, the companies' own employees plus outside contributors maintain the terraform providers, not HashiCorp. HashiCorp gets involved but mostly to resolve errors in Terraform itself.

Saying they are maintained by HashiCorp is completely incorrect. They are part of HashiCorp's repos (because they are official) but in each case the core contributors are people from AWS, Azure and Google.

My company has large accounts with all of these, I contribute to them myself and I know(/knew. Dana @ Google moved onto another role and Google hasn't introduced me to her replacements yet) the maintainers of all of them personally. Don't look at who owns the repo, look at the contributor lists.

"Employees are taking sensitive computer code from their own companies at three times the rate they were a year ago, according to new research into so-called insider threats, as record numbers of disgruntled workers quit their jobs with pandemic restrictions easing. An analysis of data of 700,000 company devices by the cyber security group Code42 found that there were about 65m attempts made by staff to exfiltrate source code from their corporate network in the three months to the end of June, up from about 20m in each of the previous three quarters."
One way to help solve merge conflicts is incremental merge/rebase - bisect the merge to find which commit causes the conflict, then let the programmer solve that, then repeat again. I'm using git-imerge for this, but there is also mergify and a faster fork of it called git-mergify-rebase.
