How has nobody mentioned the insane complexity monster that is React 18 / Suspense?! I mean, it makes sense once you understand it, but who is going to understand it?

React's concurrency features should have been broken off into a separate, opt-in library, not packaged into React core, and they sealed their own coffin with this release. That said, suspense is awesome once it's fully understood. Give the public a few more years to get it, though.
> would Kagi not benefit from having to worry about crawling / indexing sites?

It would, but sitemaps do not provide that function as we discussed above. However if EU Open Web Search succeeded, that is something we could probably use to some extent.
txtai: A FOSS Vector ML Database for Intelligent Semantic Search
From the title, I expected this to be basically pairing stable diffusion with an image captioning algorithm by 'compressing' the image to a simple human readable description, and then regenerating a comparable image from the text. I imagine that would work and be possible, essentially an autoencoder with a 'latent space' of single short human readable sentences.

The way this actually works is pretty impressive. I wonder if it could be made lossless or less lossy in a similar manner to FLAC and/or video compression algorithms... basically first do the compression, and then add on a correction that converts the result partially or completely into the true image. Essentially, e.g. encoding real images of the most egregiously modified regions of the photo and putting them back over the result.
This is a pretty well written piece. The author and protagonist wrote a memoir when out of prison, American Animals, which has a movie made out of it.
Yeah, it's a bible verse (And Ye Shall Know the Truth, and the Truth Shall Make You Free – John 8:32), but the point being made is that that particular bible verse is (or was) etched into the wall of lobby of the original CIA headquarters. It wasn't quoted there on that page in an effort to proselytize or even to make any sort of epistemological claim about a particular religion.
The 26 cantons are mentioned in the Swiss constitution by name. If one wants to leave, the constitution would have to be changed. So a canton can only leave, if a majority of the whole people as well as the cantons voted in favour.
Define close... No my family and my wife's are not really that close to us, about a 4 hour drive away. But we manage to see them a few times a year. My wife moved down (to the lower mainland of BC) for work. But since I am remote only we are contemplating a move back up north to where her parents are. Real estate is a bit cheaper up there too so that's a benefit too.
That still works, it just doesn't line up visually.
That 14' wide 644 SQ ft unit looks pretty good as a floor plan, it's about the same size as a small 1bd apartment in any major city. I do think they're counting the porch in the square footage however. It does appear that the 14 ft width is the practical maximum for transportation by road as a "wide load" without a lot of special planning and permits in advance.
But if the "hard thing" is something not crucial to the end-user of the product, then it doesn't matter whether or not it's impossible.

Really bitter pill to swallow.

> . Based on data across the CloudFlare network, 94% of requests that we see across the Tor network are per se malicious. That doesn’t mean they are visiting controversial content, but instead that they are automated requests designed to harm our customers. A large percentage of the comment spam, vulnerability scanning, ad click fraud, content scraping, and login scanning comes via the Tor network. To give you some sense, based on data from Project Honey Pot, 18% of global email spam, or approximately 6.5 trillion unwanted messages per year, begin with an automated bot harvesting email addresses via the Tor network.

Arguably the biggest most unsolved problem in search is how to make a profit (or even break even). This can be approached in two ways: You can either try to find some way of making search more profitable, or you can find a way to make search cheaper. I think the latter is a lot more plausible than the former.

A shoestring budget keeps the costs down by design and by necessity. A large budget virtually ensures the search engine becomes so expensive to operate it will never break even.
IMHO My issue is not with the prices of GPU which will probably be higher than whats here.

> People can’t do anything without any information about why they’re blocked. Who do you contact? Where do you go? What to do?

This is the most serious problem with all of the major companies these days. Cloudflare, Google, Apple, etc. When you get on their "bad side", you're just screwed. You'll never even know what got them mad at you, and there's nothing you can do to recover.

The only reasonable way to deal with this is to avoid them all to the greatest extent possible. You have no control over whether or not you deal with Cloudflare, unfortunately, which makes them the worst of the lot.

I'm not sure what the article is supposed to be saying, but geofencing autonomous vehicles does not make them level 5, it makes them level 4 with planning tools.

Navigation is not the issue. Large scale mapping using visual only features is pretty much a solved problem. I worked at a company that did this, Apple, Facebook, google, Niantic and a bunch of others all have this ability.

The biggest issue here is not that knowing where you are, but what is in the way. Sensors to figure out what is in the way, and if thats a real obstacle or a shadow is the hard part. combine that with working out what other road users are doing ( essentially body language for cars) and thats the main impediment to level 4/5 autonomy.

Say you're running an account take over script that spams login forms with a list of known username and password combos. If a website owner sees thousands of login attempts coming from a single IP address they're likely to block you to prevent abuse on their website. This is annoying for you as you then need to rotate your IP address.

Using tor hides your IP address from the website and makes switching exit nodes very straightforward, so you can run your account take over script in peace.

> Yeah, "speed limits" are primarily a political game, not anything based in reality.

This is utter absurd, it's definitely based in the reality of 1/2 m*v^2. Decreasing the speed decreases the kinetic energy of impacts, decreasing injuries and deaths. That's the reality.

The fact that American roads were designed as the beastly stroads and 6-lanes inner city avenues that are present all around doesn't mean their speed limits should follow that design, the speed limit should follow what utilisation occurs around the road.

You might be right that in some places speed limits can be a political stunt of sorts. Basic physics and the examples of multiple Western countries which achieved a less deadly traffic by implementing stricter speed limits (among other measures) should show you part of the reality you feel is lacking.

Look at Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands and so on. USA's road fatalities per billion km-vehicle are on average double, you can do better and kill less people, in total amount of road fatalities the USA is only behind Brazil.

No road in a city centre should allow for faster than 40 km/h traffic around people. A road (non-motorway) with major separation between automobiles and people in a city shouldn't exceed 60 km/h. Traffic even flows better with larger windows for smart traffic control, lower the speed, lower the average travel time.
To be honest, so was I. Selling you something stupid is a lot more work, and riskier, than selling you what you want and works well.

I personally had more leads than I could handle, because I didn't burn my leads. So if you came in wanting a vehicle for the snow, and all I had was SUVs with the sports package and performance tires, I didn't lie to you or try to downplay it. Sure I mentioned you could have a winter set of wheels and swap, and get the best performance year round, but I didn't say "don't worry, these tires work just fine in snow". It burns leads that know better.

Thus if I couldnt really help you, I'd make the best of the situation if possible and move on. I had enough people to email and call back waiting on me, that spending an hour lying in hopes of a sale really wasn't worth it.
you are literally one of my new fav people !
I got one of these notices. The first notice was Friday the 16th saying that my free account was being upgraded. Tried to login into my account and got a 500 error.

Then Sunday the 18th, I got a notice that my account was being charged for a 5 user license.

I had stopped using Fogbugz in 2015 when they sunset or went pay only for Kiln (I forget which happened); so I was a bit surprised.

I couldn't login to my account. But I created a support ticket (had to jump through a few hoops since I had a Fogbugz support account already that wouldn't work).

Support answered the ticket and assured me that my account was deleted and I will not be charged.

I've set a reminder to check my business credit card over the next little while... not that I'm suspicious or anything.
Hi Patrick,
Just to be clear, I'm absolutely not blaming Joel or previous FogBugz employees for this state of affairs. But I know I would be deeply hurt if one of my products was bought by someone who tried these sort of dark practices on my one-time customers.

Prices are definitely dropping, but $600 seems like a stretch. I searched for “rtx 3090”, checked “used” only, sold items, only auctions. Last 5 sold were $715, $812, $840, $760, $870 (I skipped a few outliers that were actually 3090 Ti).

Realistically, ARM-1 tapped out on April 26th, 1995, just as Olivetti was buying Acorn. This was a year before MIPS and SPARC if I am reading the dates right.

T.I. could have acquired the ARM processor. They likely would have killed it.

At 25k transistors, a UNIX machine based on it would have been far more profitable than 68k.

Mutation will be disallowed in general, yes. It's a bit more subtle than that, but you get the gist.

In my language, there are strings, which are fixed size and cannot be reallocated, and string builders, which hide the actual string behind another layer of indirection to avoid the problem with mutation.

That sort of pattern would be used as necessary to avoid the problems with mutation in the same thread. And Send/Sync would take care of the rest across threads.

I'm not tryin to put words in your mouth. Perhaps think more about the ideas that the words coming out of your mouth convey? You said
"If you claim whistle-blowing is justified by the exposed crimes and then run".

Sounds like you think he ought not to have run. Even though the president literally discussed applying the death penalty to him. That's why I thought you were suggesting he ought to have martyred himself.

> For as much time as he spent on the immediate escape, it seems like he spent none on, "...and then what?"

Jesus christ, you described yourself as unsympathetic, and I guess I can't disagree. But "aspiring man of international mystery"? Don't put words in his mouth. If the things he says about his motivations are true, your mischaracterization is grossly offensive.

Those things are often suddenly rare because people hoard them, which can be prevented by allowing supply and demand to properly work. Prices should go up if goods are in more demand. In addition, the higher prices will motivate sellers to send more products to the impacted area. That eventually leads to price stabilization at the intersection of the supply and demand curve, i.e. how things are supposed to work.

Do the higher prices mean some people won't get any water? Yes! But if you artificially suppress prices, there will also be some people who don't get water, because other people will hoard it.

The linked report [0] is dated today and uses data from the RegretsReporter extension [1] and additional surveys from December 2021, which is basically when youtube removed the dislike counter [2].

It's both suprising and not that suprising to see quantitatively how little disliking or telling youtube to not reccomend channels or content has an impact on the algorithm. They also rightfully point out how much of a pain it is to try to provide negative feedback to youtube's reccomendation system. It's always been a chore to remove the hot new trending clickbait from the reccomendations.

I sadly doubt that this report will change much, but it's good to finally have some statistical validation of what I've frustrating subjectively experienced.

You mentioned you liked dealers that don't negotiate. So I mentioned you can buy without negotiating at any dealership. The advertised price is pretty fair at 90% of dealerships.

Beyond that, their advertised specials are spectacular deals usually. Who spends money and attention advertising specials that don't even compete with the competition?

If you poke around in the support articles they mention the cause of this: they also deleted all idle accounts without notice and depending on when you got hit by that, might not even be able to recover it. So they're trying to bill you for a service that they can't even provide.
If it were that simple they’d have done it years ago.

Companies will only pay so much to ship their products (which caps wages) and there isn’t a whole lot that can be done to improve working conditions without retraining every single person in the country on how to drive around big trucks because that’s 99% of the job. And weather, nothing to be done about weather. Everything else is just trivial bullshit, really.

Doesn’t matter either way since Silicon Valley is promising to obsolete the job “any day now” so who cares about making improvements.

In era of easily-retrievable info, note-taking is less about perfection and more about putting it in your words from the start. So put something, anything down, as long as it's your words.
