> Most shops have a delivery radius of less than 10 miles and it’s pretty impressive how detailed a driver’s address knowledge of the area can get after just a few months.

I delivered pizzas back in the day as well. One night as I was headed out to my car, a woman asked me if I could help her find an address. I said sure, I'll give it a shot. With just a street name and number I was able to rattle off turn-by-turn directions, ending with, "It'll be the third house on your left. Maybe the fourth".

My delivery area wasn't a grid or anything. The house numbers didn't neatly align with streets. It was a typical suburban area with random bendy streets and addressing that didn't correlate with a central "State and Main" center.

But after a year or so of passing damn near every house in the area, I had fantastic intuition about these things. I had a knockoff, generic, store-brand version of The Knowledge. :)
Actually, truthfully, AI is merely a complex tool. Any “art” created by an AI with no human interaction is pure rubbish. It is the humans operating the AI that knowingly discard the rubbish, and after significant effort entailing a lot of trials and random experimentation they manage to get something their human mind comprehends is integrated with the goal they have in their imagination. It is the human curating and editing the AIs generations that produces the “art” and not the software. The software is merely a sophisticated idiot savant, and I significantly stress the idiot part because they are innately capable of zero art themselves.
All of your comment reads like some excuse why VC funded food delivery app companies should continue to abuse low wage workers, because of course they're fully informed and know what they're getting into. These are the people who ultimately often end up with something like the WA state minimum wage after all expenses are subtracted.

I didn't say that they're idiots, my point was that they're being taken advantage of in the current economic situation that they exist in.

Maybe you should question why these people are apparently forced to pick between nothing other than an effectively-minimum-wage gig economy job with no benefits or job security, or a minimum wage job assembling food at taco bell or something and nothing better, effectively operating as a permanent underclass. From the way you describe it you seem to be totally okay with that situation in the economy. I'm not.

> If you want more money you have the choice between picking up an inflexible 2nd or 3rd low hour job

oh for fuck's sake, why don't you just tell people that they should lick the boots of their gig economy no-benefits "employer" some more? get a 2nd or 3rd job just to exist in this late stage capitalist hellscape with 4 roommates in any major city.

Try to get an AI to render an upside down face. In my attempts, they can't do it at all. Deformity results. It is outside the training data.
What do you think concept art is? Any picture seems like it'd work as concept art. Even an uncreative illustrator AI would help if the person using it just can't draw.
Growing up and till today, we ferment our excess vegetables.

I will have to try hot peppers as I have never done them.

We use a small piece of home made bread on the bottom of the primary jar. It works every time.
Thanks for sharing. Do you have any music online?
I think I had exactly the same reason in mind as you laid out.

I even said so by pointing out that I think they rot from the head and do mismanagement as you described too.

So in that light I would ask how did you understood me thinking something different?
This was an awesome article.

It lays out every single hard lesson I discovered when working with docker compose.

Great minds think alike! (Or I just got lucky)
Was gonna ask why not link the homepage instead but apparently the wiki is linked as About page from the project's homepage.
I think a lot of small restaurants would disagree.

Managing a fleet of drivers on top of managing your kitchen (and often a front-of-house too) is a nightmare. You have to surge in ways that go beyond day of the week, you have to handle short-time route management and work out how much return to base will affect your availability. Plus insurance. Plus fraud. Plus systems handling. Doing this independently might cost more both up-front and in running costs.

Using a third party, most of those problems are now not yours. It's on the intermediary to make sure they have a driver available, and another, and another, and another because everybody decided they want Chinese tonight. And if nobody wants Chinese, you're only paying the standing fee.

We have a nearby Thai restaurant that just stops taking delivery orders when their one driver is fully booked for the next hour. They lose money. And on a slow night, they're paying for a delivery driver they're not using.
Probably way above median housing prices and also probably above market rate for the size. Guessing backed by some smarts / conveniences. Whoever wants to afford those - good for them. But we sorely lack affordable ones - no need to be fancy, luxurious or new, just affordable.
And it worked. And we are them. Cue intro theme music....
Which better recipe did you follow?
When you start a small business as an individual, one of the very first things you're told is to maintain strict separation between business and personal finances and operations, planned well ahead of any possible disputes, such that the corporate veil isn't pierced making you personally liable for the companies debts. Yet apparently a large company can cook up some convenient separation after the fact and actually have a chance of it holding up in court. This is the bare corruption of the dual class legal system.
i have six different kinds of chilis fermenting right now. it's a lot of fun and the results can be spectacular. also you can put a bit of dried chilis in there to add a bunch of lovely smokiness.

i do lactofermentation in a vacuum bag. it works very well, just need to put a pinhole in it before it explodes.
Is that much different from being able to find ready-made images to look at in various media?

I could see a difference in the case of wanting to see a custom image and being able to summon it via description vs. needing to learn to produce it. I’m not particularly artistic and never developed any such skills… so I don’t know: how crucial is that particular motivation to those who acquire art (production) skills?
A pain point with React is large data structures. To re-render (assuming class components), you can setState with the changed property. For example if your state has two properties named foo and bar, and bar has changed then you call setState({ bar: newValue }). This works if you have simple properties. What if you have large complex data structures, and you need to modify a property deep down inside? Then you can make a copy of the data structure, then modify the field in the copy, then call setState({ bar: copyOfLargeObject }). But it is tremendously wasteful to make a complete copy of a large data structure!

A workaround is to not make copies of large data structures. Just modify the large object directly. Then just call setState({}); That's right... setState() with an empty object triggers a re-render. Now you don't even have to store the object being modified in state. You can hold the large object in a member field of the class. So even though your component is stateful, you are not telling React what your state fields are - you are managing it yourself. At this point, React's programming model has broken down.
I hope Wireguard makes it into iOS/macOS at some point. Still early days relative to other protocols of course but it's so much simpler and more reliable (even beyond the security benefits). I use it extensively on both platforms for access to my own networks and services nowadays.
Seems targeted at Enterprise customers, not your average consumer.

Kind of a big deal that likely 90%+ of iOS VPN app users assume they're private when they're not. False advertising IMO, and Apple is getting their 30%.
They’re replying in bad faith. Best to ignore it. The frequency and scale of military activities off the coast of Taiwan (where most TSMC facilities and staff are located) is widely acknowledged.

If I understand correctly that's sort of exactly what this is. The geometry of the diffraction gratings encodes a forward propagation model trained as classifier of the number "2".

I don't quite understand the mathematics of how it was trained, but they were able to discretize the geometry of those layers somehow into little 0.4mm pixels of "trainable diffractive neurons" and they simulated light transmission through the layers to compute a loss function.

I'm really surprised that this was computationally feasible. Simulation of light through the gratings must have been cheap enough as a function evaluation to train the network.
Young adults used to be literal indentured servants, and largely did not experience depression and anxiety as a result even if they hoped for better times.
Whoa. Didn’t think about that.
Our species' nature has built a civilization-level quagmire that—again, owing to our very nature—is effectively inescapable via all but either further technological advancement, or a stone age-level disaster.

Seeing as the latter would suck, I believe our only hope is developing technology that both replaces our existing stack on a philosophical level, and weaves human interest in at every layer. The irony being, we would necessarily be using technology to escape bad technology. There is no rolling it back.

Thing is, there's very little time to actually do this, and when I say replace I mean replace. To do that, you're talking something exceptional. Something that everyone will use, that's far beyond what we have today, that works different.

The odds of this are very low given the current rate of technological progress and societal entrenchment. Nevertheless, I try to keep the faith.
The worst part of this “gig economy” is that it has allowed entrepreneurs as well as governments to parade around these gig jobs as “full time employment” and thump their chests and wash their hands off of any real employment generation.

Gig jobs do not equal employment. Employment comes with benefits and stability that allows one to plan ahead and invest and grow and even take some risks.

Gig work is essentially the illusion of work. On the surface, it makes you money and your bosses money and your customers good (food, transport, whatever). But it hollows out your society and makes it a little less future-focused, a little more insecure. Gig workers can’t plan their retirements or growing their families like normally employed people do.

Great for profits. Terrible for society at large.
When you say 'a kubernetes distro that can be managed entirely using compose files will be a massively impactful project. Not like Kompose which converts Compose files to k8s yml files....'

Do you mean from the your perspective, you set up your docker-compose and this startup ends up deploying pods into Kubernetes based on your compose file? Basically cutting out the middleman of you having to deal with Kubernetes yaml files?
I wish that the 3 law of thermodynamics laws were more commonly taught... because here you are battling the 2nd and the 1st.

A calculation by Jean Marc Jancovici showed that for a small airport (GVA in this case) you'd need half a dozen nuclear reactors just to produce the fuel for departing flights. That's obviously assuming this kind of technology is functioning and has 100% yield.

I'm not saying that these technologies are not to be pursued, but thinking that we (the rich) can keep flying as much as now due to a miracle technology is unsupported by Science, to say the least.

ps: i did 2 postdocs in material science trying to improve various industrial/energy technologies. there's no miracle.
Although something tells me that Fusion would be a solved problem in about 18 months if we were in a wartime and have all hands on the deck. I am joking only slightly.
Here's a link to the original Atlantic article revealing Marc Andreessen's NIMBY-ism (also behind a paywall unfortunately):

There is a few things:

Food marketing.

Delivery orders for companies without a website or app for ordering. This is worth Pennie’s per order not a hefty %.

Delivery service (logistics and Human Resources). This is hard and not solved.

The hardest part of the problem has not been solved and the tech firms don’t deserve a big cut of food companies revenue for the incomplete service.
Is climate change to blame for a string of shark attacks across America?
Wow, that sounds intensely bad!

I haven't actually driven a Mazda, I just heard that they were getting rid of touchscreens and it honestly didn't occur to me that they'd try to shoehorn full Android Auto or CarPlay into that. I just assumed that they would have a minimal interface and let your phone do the work, and then have "next track" and "previous track" buttons and a volume knob, plus climate control and stuff, and the screen would just have various car information; tire pressure and fuel efficiency and various camera systems for parking.

It might still work for me (I'm definitely going to test drive a Mazda when my current car needs replacing), but this is me; I disable CarPlay because I can't stand it; I prefer to just put my phone on a mount and use it directly; I just need the car systems as a speaker for the phone.
Articles like this do a great job showing me just how little I know about the modern web. The level of detail/effort/ubiquity that goes into the modern advertising behemoth is truly impressive.
Ask HN: Why exactly is Chromium dominance such a bad thing?
I’m asking this out of curiosity, not cynicism. Considering it’s open source, can Google really blacklist websites? It’s not like Microsoft Windows where we have no idea what they’re doing.

How does this affect any company outside of the other two rivals not being able to play catch up?
Using multiple repositories in your CI builds
Ask HN: Why do new profs think they can teach the same class more than once?
Why do they think they would be able to handle the repetition?
What does it mean to judge someone on the content of their character? It can be just as easily superficial as choosing to bring in a different kind of sandwhich to work.

Taking food down to a homeless man on the side of a street and filming it, is noble and worthy of praise but has limited practical impact on your ability to judge the person accurately. He could be doing it for the wrong reasons. He could be doing it for reasons that do not reflect his character.

Someone who is willing to change for his/her colleagues and practically improve the work enviroment is easy to judge favourably. Superficially and cosmically valid or not, a well oiled ship runs on aligning a lot of little 'superficial' parts.
You think people in the future will have experiences in the real world with other real humans. That their buddy isn’t a bot algorithmically refined to maximally connect with it’s user. And that the user can power down their ocular implant. How cute.
I wonder if the holy grail of food delivery is then is actually like a supply chain/transportation algorithm - instead of point-to-point deliveries, you could have order pickup and delivery distributed within an area and have drivers handoff as needed. If I can think of it, then I'm sure someone in the companies already has looked into it and has a reason why they can't, but I'm still proud of the insight at least.
I believe in the statement by Albert Barabasi who says that to be successful in art all you need is a good network, nothing else.
Also probably fair to include burnout, chronic-fatigue/post-viral/long-covid, moderate to clinical depression, anhedonia, cardiac problems, auto immune diseases. Tired and fatigued are also super different. Sleepy vs tired, wired, and lacking the capacity to physically function effectively.

Growth = stress + rest. When physical or mental stress outpace rest you will get tired. The intensity and duration being the big differentiator.
.NET Core is open source and any forks receive a perpetual license protecting it against any Microsoft patents, so long term it'll be just fine. The only thing Microsoft really controls with absolute authority is the trademark.
Do you have any data or other backup for your claim besides opinion? You might be right, I’m just curious. Do you know where scooters aren’t the norm? Do you know how often alternatives are used and for what reasons?
It was fun but it did make my laptop fan start.
Effluencer maybe?
Design reviews is one of the things I like most. You learn how to write, how to design systems, how to evaluate tradeoffs. You also get feedback from senior engineers. I will suggest that before having the meeting, the engineer should write a design document so your team can review it and discuss it in the meeting.
Would be amazing if we could cover baseload power with nuclear/hydro and then use zero marginal grid cost solar for fuel synthesis.
My question for the author is: What do you have to offer the world that is original and compelling? Why should we give you our time?

It's fine if there aren't answers to these questions. But if you're going to create something professionally I think they need affirmative answers.

Creating is very personal, rewarding, and fun. Those are reasons enough to be creative. But they aren't reasons for commercial success or critical respect.
That sounds extremely dangerous. Sure it’s do-able and normalized for them, but I don’t want to expect that sort of thing where I live because it is now trendy to hate everything about cars.

Sorry, I just can't see the change Satya brought to the company.

Considering their "collaboration" with Canonical, it feels like Microsoft is paying Canonical in order to get help for strangling Linux desktop inside the Windows ecosystem, finally extinguishing desktop Linux installs once and for all.

As a payback they're leaving server space to Canonical, but port their software to work on Ubuntu, so they have a suitable "free" platform to monetize their software. Canonical can make boatloads of money by selling support, Landscape and similar services meanwhile.

I'm thankful to them for their Copilot shenanigans though, they kickstarted the motivation inside me to be even more serious about the services and software I use. I left GitHub, slowly moving away from Google services, etc.
This is pure physics gold.

And the fact that the paper is available for free is just added gravy!
The article is really good and informative, but that title man.. I almost didn't click and read it because of it
Constructive feedback is not patronizing.

People need to be able to receive constructive feedback and improve, without feeling attacked.

I did not detect snark, or superiority in this feedback comment. Instead, it seems to genuinely attempt to offer constructive feedback.

The parent pointed out a specific fragment that needs re-work, which is an actionable item for the OP. Perhaps it could have been framed more positively, but constructing a place where people cannot offer direct, actionable feedback is quite unhelpful for all involved.
There will likely always be a need for hydrocarbon fuels until there are order of magnitude improvements in battery energy density, or we decide small nuclear reactors are acceptable for things like cargo ships and aviation.

Plus, having much better carbon capture tech means just simply removing CO2 for some sort of inert long term storage is cheaper.
This reminds me of Milo Minderbinder from Catch 22 :)
If they are laying of people for financial reasons, they expect additional people to leave. So you won't necessarily save anyone by declaring that you are going to go, because that is already priced in.
Not necessarily. They're describing the benefit for me. I only really use these services during the work week for lunch. My wife and I both work from home and sometimes we didn't make something in advance or stop at the store to pick something up for lunch. We don't always have that 75 minutes to step out and buy something. It takes 5 minutes to order through the app and they leave it at the front door so we can plan to have it arrive during the time we're planning to have lunch. Then we can just focus on having lunch together before getting back to work.
I use Google Maps even with non-CarPlay interaction because Apple Maps does not do north-up. At the time, Google Maps didn't do north-up in CarPlay mode. Maybe it's time I give it another try. Last I tried it, I found generally that things worked less good in CarPlay than they did on the phone itself, and decided to mostly treat the infotainment system as a nice set of speakers for my phone.
If you can feasibly get a severance package, it seems worth the risk
The issue in the article isn't that the VPN is sometimes inactive, it's that when the VPN is active, some traffic escapes the VPN.

As far as I can see the linked page doesn't say that your VPN will leak unless you're using Always On.

Plus, that page documents the VPN features built in to iOS itself, not VPNs provided by apps.
Ask HN: It seems my Facebook has been hacked, Anyone can help to restore it?
It seems someone has changed my Facebook account and changed in Primary Email. I changed my password and Facebook required me to prove my identity. I submitted the id for verification and they sent me a verification link to restore my account.

Once I clicked the link, it again takes me to the same verification page where I have to submit the id and I again submitted my ID for verification.

I again got a verification link and again it took me to the same verification page where I have to submit the id. It is happening every time I try to restore the account.

Can anyone provide me a solution on this?

Just to let you know that it is my real account with real name and picture.
I am active in non-professional theater, and a lot of people come through my group with the hope of becoming professionals.

My advice to them is that if there is anything else they can do, do it. Being a professional actor is miserable. The odds are it will fail entirely; most of the remainder will barely make subsistence.

Much of what I do is to provide a place for people to be genuinely creative in ways that they couldn't afford to if their living depended on it. We get to take artistic chances that please us. You don't get that if your livelihood depends on it.

A few people have taken my advice and concluded that they needed to do this. Some have had minor successes. Good for them. Others tried and discovered that indeed, it was not fun and not good for them, and they left. None, fortunately, are starving, convinced that persistence is the key to success because they read it on a motivational poster.
