This isn’t what SpaceX did. It asked the State Department to let it sell. State created an exception to the sanctions mechanisms open to anyone.
It depends a lot on the backend architecture. Number of DB requests per web request can also be high due to the pathological cases in some ORMs which can result in N+1 query problems or eagerly fetching entire object hierarchies. Such problems in application code can get brushed under the carpet due to "magical" autoscaling (be it RDS or K8s). There can also be fanout to async services/job queues which will in turn run even more DB queries.
You really should read up more on how the US intelligence community functions. It can be very enlightening. But why is that a shitload?

Are there any pictures of a finished part?

I'm assuming there would be features that need to be cleaned up after a print, but this looks incredible.

I wonder what the cost savings are like vs a 6dof CNC mill for parts that can be made that way.
$0.50 per extra GB seems high, especially for a storage-intensive app. Given the cost of cloud Object Storage services it doesn't seem to make much sense.

Examples of alternatives for managed Postgres:

* Supabase is $0.125 per GB

* DigitalOcean managed Postgres is ~$0.35 per GB

For a couple months I had no functioning debugger and was left with only Printf's. I do not ever desire to go back to that. It is far too painful. I think my time to find issues likely was 4x+ longer than before.

Some programs simply have too much state, too complex of structures (for performance or memory reasons), or very long runtimes to reasonably debug purely with prints.
"Outsider art" rubs me the wrong way because defining it seems like an exercise in gatekeeping. What is the wall that divides the two? Social connections, maybe educational background. Acknowledging something as outsider art is fundamentally condescending. It says that while the work has artistic merit, can be recognized as art, it nevertheless must be qualified as coming from outside the anointed clique.
There is a sign through some of the lagging indicators that economy is “cooling off” and the anticipation of recession being spearheaded by the Fed is actually working. The container stat shows also a record slowdown along with a drop in spot rate. Would be interesting to see if the Fed takes them into account or keep pressing the brakes as if they are in a panic mode and not willing to be clueless.
I don't think that's correct -- everything I can find online says that in the UK you pay income tax on RSU's no matter how long you hold them.

The only technicality is whether they're "subject to forfeiture" in which case you pay the tax after 5 years, or not, in which case you pay the tax upon vesting.

But no matter what you're always paying income tax. You may not be as aware of it though, since the company that grants you the RSU's will generally sell a portion of them in order to cover your taxes before you even receive them. (That is standard in the US too -- e.g. 50 units vest but only ~32 show up in your brokerage account.)

With the rise of automated license plate readers and tracking databases, we MUST recognize this truth: License Plates Considered Harmful (to privacy and 4th Amendment rights).

No, I'm not joking. If we're not going to put serious legal restrictions and penalties on this kind of tracking, the only other viable option is to eliminate license plates entirely.

Here in Austin, there is at least one sane City Councilman who is pushing for a maximum 3 minute retention time for license plate scan event data. I expect that would get pushed to 30-180 minutes in reality, but there is no justification for any longer than that...
Bait and Switch is a totally absurd term for what google did with android. Making one open source product does not commit you to making anything related to that product open source forever.
I'd say that's more promising than anything.

Ads come last as they are a guaranteed detriment to the experience. You have to make something really engaging first. The fact that they've created games so ad-laden to be known for it means they had to create an experience so engaging as to support the drag all those ads create on the experience.
When someone is legitimately trying to redeem 25-35 gift cards bought over time for a total of $2k, it is dastardly and horrible of Apple to block him.

When scammers trick people into buying gift cards for them, and the scammers later redeem them, say 25-35 of them bought by victims over time for a total of $2k, it is dastardly and horrible of Apple to not work harder to stop the scammers.

I happen to believe the OP here, but it's really easy to see how this happened, and why Apple's people could feel like they're doing a Good Thing™ here.

Not only that, but if you can print finished parts you can engineer parts that cannot be physically machined.
I wonder if you could attack this from another angle.

Let's assume we can narrow down a photo to "probably somewhere near LA because movies" - then if we can roughly estimate the age of the person, and when it was taken, we should be able to determine the current age of the contemporaries, or current age of the youngest person at the time of the photo who would recognize them.

So if the photo was taken in the 1960s, and the youngest person "on set" would have been 20 at the time, they would now be around 80.

So where would LA 80 year olds be who might recognize the photo? Put it in front of them (grocery stores posters? HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN banners at nursing homes?)

You know what a great way to complete screw any tech company with a complicated product or service is? People constantly leaving after less than 2 years of service. It means no one knows how things work or how to do their jobs. It creates general chaos and stress for everyone, all the while costing a ton of money and being very ineffective. This frequent job hopping is a symptom of something being clearly wrong.

As a conservative, I don't trust teachers because their interests often don't align with my own. I heard from a friend in Florida that their kid started identifying as an ATI Radeon HD4850, which is absurd and not respecting AMD's brand.
Ask HN: What Happened to Pushbullet?
There's a very handy app called Pushbullet (https://www.pushbullet.com/) which allows you to send urls/text/files from one device to another. It also has an ability to sync SMS and notifications. I've been using it for several years now.

It looks like it has been transitioned into a passive maintenance mode. The app still works, but there haven't been any updates to the Firefox extension since 2020 (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pushbullet/versions/). Anyone knows the reason? Their blog doesn't seem to explain that. I'm afraid it may stop working at some point.

My bet is that this is going to change a lot, very soon.

Apple apparently felt comfortable enough with the eSIM situation in the US to drop legacy-SIM already. The fact that they couldn't do this worldwide yet is because, as you say, eSIM availability is still spotty around the world.

However, the fact that they're moving to eSIM-only is a huge flashing warning to telcos around the world that the time to sort out their eSIM support is now. Otherwise, they'll soon be chasing away their affluent iPhone users.

I think the transition will now proceed pretty quickly. Physical SIMs have only continued on due to market inertia.

In a few years we'll look back and think "remember when SIM cards were physical objects... that was weird wasn't it?"
The Two Wings of Postmodernism
Seems to say less about the generation and more about what age the generation currently is. Younger people are of course going to spend less on healthcare and more on alcohol, for instance. If you went back in time to when Millenials/GenXers were young, they'd probably have a more similar spending profile to what Gen Z has here.
And when it all goes bottoms up it will be much more difficult to resolve.
> Wrapping something in a type doesn't magically change its value.

It changes its meaning and operations.

`x : Angle = 90` and friends should just be illegal. `x : Angle = Degrees(90)` is better. Then the programmer can use whatever is convenient.
Yeah, the ability to rapid prototype parts with occluded cavities that can't be machined by a CNC makes this a compelling capability all on its own.
Parent proposed a wrapper, rather than an alias.

One way to handle this with an Angle type is to not allow an automatic cast from float/double/int. instead, you expose methods that normalise the input and internally can represent it as whatever, i.e. from_degrees, from_turns, from_radians or similar that force the programmer to be explicit about their unit, when the angle is constructed.

Alternatively, Angle could be the base class and each unit gets its own class that Angle inherits from.
Very interesting. Thanks for posting

I'm sure that I will get downvoted to hell for saying it and that's not unreasonable, but there is definitely a part of me that sympathizes with the Russians (I'm not condoning the attrocities in Ukraine).

Do we really expect the rest of the world to blindly follow our orders for the rest of history and just say please and thank you. It's not hard to see why Putin thinks going all in on leaving the petro-dollar system is in his interest and I think at the end of the day he's right.

And atrocities are how these kinds of events unfold. It's easy for us as American's to call this out because we have a stable system built on the atrocities of earlier generations but let's be clear, If we didn't commit centuries of Genocide, we wouldn't have our standard of living that allows us to sit around and criticize any other country who wants the level of sovereignty that we take for granted. I don't see why that should be the unique privilege of the US.

That being said, I'm happy to be sitting here writing this as a member of the winning team and I hope Russia loses.
Which doesn't help from a tracking point of view because the device still retains a persistent, unchangeable identifier (the IMEI) which will be broadcasted as soon as you insert a new SIM (and maybe without one even, since in certain locations SIM-less emergency calls are possible).
Ok but the point stands that there is a limit to your working memory. Your limit sounds a lot higher than most peoples but it is still limited otherwise you’d never get lost even if you could only read things once.
Your comment doesn't make sense. Apple "owns" the platform because... why, exactly? Because they build the software and the hardware? Or because you can only run software that they approve?

The PC OEMs didn't "build" a platform, they licensed Windows from Microsoft and that license contained anti-competitive clauses. Apple's restrictions on iOS are also anti-competitive, regardless of the fact that they also built the hardware.

I can't speak for elsewhere, but in the US, both FedEx and UPS provide thermal label rolls for free to those with accounts.
You can detail as much as you know about your situation in a letter to the consumer protection agency/person of whatever country your main account is in, and copy it to Apple's legal counsel.

It's unlikely to do much, but it may get in front of the right person or may light a fire under someone's ass.

Regardless of whether they foresaw it or not, what should they have done differently?
Not really. It's usually the emphasis in many mobile games. Meaning the design the game specifically to play ads. Not the last thing they think of. It's part of the design pattern at many companies but especially mobile. Taking someone who's only experience is designing intricately paywalled games is not going to come out to a good game. Let's just hope he has other experience.
> Was that really a thing?

Wikipedia has an article about their history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panty_raid
Sure, that’s a viable model as well! Either way I think the market and industry will find a way to make it work for the consumer such that they won’t feel like an EV is just a hidden $10k charge in 10 years.

You can tell your company to either buy a proprietary license from yourself or reimplement the whole thing.
Lots of people talking about the economics but my take away from the article was that we're on the cusp of something really cool. The combination of ray tracing, physics via ray tracing, and GPT like content generation are all the ingredients needed to make huge immersive worlds. Imagine GTA with every house, office, and sky scraper full of unique realistic looking people doing realistic things in a fully destructible environment.
You are right that `Angle` is the wrong name for a newtype but wrong that this is not a job for types.

> Wrapping something in a type doesn't magically change its value.

Most formal definitions of value disagree, e.g. from Stepanov & McJones:

A value type is a correspondence between a species (abstract or concrete)
and a set of datums. A datum corresponding to a particular entity is called
a representation of the entity; the entity is called the interpretation of the
datum. We refer to a datum together with its interpretation as a value. In this case the species is abstract, rotational measurement - and the interpretation is the unit. 2pi radians, 360 degrees, and 1 turn all correspond to the same abstract entity; radians, degrees, and turns are types.

But you can also find the mistake just based on your own comment, where you've taken an unjustified leap from variable to value:

> Types are just labels applied to variables... Wrapping something in a type doesn't magically change its value.

Types are labels applied to variables, specifically in order to produce a particular value from the contents of some memory region (what Stepanov & McJones call "datum"). If changing types didn't change values, types would be near-useless (cf, as a concrete example, C's near-useless type system).
Potentially, maybe? I didn't follow it closely enough, but the crux was a group trying to test out various time-related calls, and they'd set the base time of the containers to different times forward and behind 'now'. There were hundreds/thousands of minutes 'billed', going over the account threshhold, stopping all builds. But... I don't remember hearing if there was some diff between 'negative' charges and 'positive' charges.
Even AMD is only splitting off IO dies this generation. That's an advantage for sure, because you can push 20% or so of your die off to separate chiplets, which means you can go 25% larger than you otherwise could with a purely monolithic design.

(and in particular you can also push them off to N6 or some other super-cheap node and save your super-expensive N5 allocation for the GCD... at the cost of some power for infinity fabric to send a TB/s of data around between chiplets)

But so far nobody seems to have progressed on splitting the GCD itself... which has always been the actual goal here. Multiple chiplets computing together like one, transparently without software needing to be catered to like SLI.

AMD's general approach seems to be "big cache-coherent interconnect between GCD chiplets", which is generally unsurprising on multiple levels (it's how infinity fabric already works in their CPUs, and it's how SMP generally works in general today almost everywhere) but there still seems to be some barrier to making it work with graphics. There are of course a lot of gotchas - like temporal data or needing access to other parts of the frame that may be in another GPU - but cache-coherent interconnects generally solve this.

But yeah, NVIDIA isn't avoiding some silver bullet here, they've actually been on the forefront of this with NVSwitch since Pascal, that was the first serious "multi-GPU that acts like one" attempt. I don't know why they're not doing it, or at least the "split the IO dies off" thing.

edit: thinking about this a bit more, one reason they may not be doing the MCD/io die idea is because they're doing L2 instead of L3. L3 can be pushed off to a separate die... L2 is really part of the SM, it's a lot "closer". Again, they may have engineering reasons to favor L2 over L3, or it may be a patent thing.
I know the sentiment towards Snowden is mixed, but to accept this at this time from this person would definitely lower my opinion of Snowden. A lot. Just the fact he fled to Russia was a big red flag to me, but was willing to give some benefit of doubt knowing (well, guessing) what the default actions of the US would be. The US not granting Snowden's requests for surrendering is pretty telling. Major crime bosses get Easy St sentencing for violent crimes, yet they will not even openly state they will not disappear Snowden is embarassing.
Everything about the SD ecosystem feels like... I'm not sure. It seems like there are tons of different small, uncoordinated efforts, all of which have either no documentation or large plaque install scripts, and then it's all python at the bottom with all of the joys of it's package ecosystem.

And then all of these versions where they're so super smart and want access to my GD and an API token to some account of mine? Christ, it would be so, so, so easy to weaponize one of these, add some screenshots and "beat" the original and harvest some Google Drive goodies.

In a, I guess I'll say, less frustrating world... there'd be a Nice or Guix expression and it would be relatively trivial to just launch it anywhere Linux and GPU exists.

Your snarky response actually proves my point. The responses from the individuals (including the CEO) are meaningless without action. The only action (beyond writing words) the company has undertaken is to take money from venture capitalists.
Wow, this version makes intuitive sense when retroactively applying what I already know about the complex plane, and rotations about it. Thank you!
> This is why we need to switch

No it's not, as regardless of how bad all the commercial software is, when the general population just wants to go to Facebook, YouTube and watch porn, no browser switching of any kind is going to improve that. You can assume that most computer-users aren't in it for some ideological, privacy or security concept, they just want to consume some content and move on.
Thanks for writing that. While I don't automatically believe it all, I think it's important to see what's arbitrary and what's natural in our units. I've struggled with the Hz vs rad/s before and I think I resolved it by including the cycle as a quanitity, so Hz = cycle/s and rad/s = 1/s. You don't seem to agree and I'm not confident of my decision, but it's now part of a big technical debt :P

A clear sign of how wrong people can be about the naturalness of units is Avogadro's constant which was recently demoted from a measured value to an exact arbitrary value. Chemists often believe that N_A, moles, atomic mass units, etc. are all somehow important or fundamental and don't realize that it's all based on a needlessly complicated constant with an (until 2019) needlessly complicated definition that could have just been a simple power of 10 if history had gone differently. Luckily the people defining SI have finally moved away from the old two independent mass units to just the kg that can now be exactly converted to atomic mass units by definition.

So weird to see someone praising Apple and knocking Google, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised when it comes to ads.

That said, my ad-blocking experience on MacOS definitely got worse before improving recently, so even the movie Ghostery praised here disrupted things for me.
Roadside Picnic is probably my favorite version of alien visitation. I'm partial to stories where the aliens are largely incomprehensible. Especially the ones who can manage the high tech requirements of FTL. Felt very realistic having the aliens visit Earth as tourists and not invaders, ignore the locals, and throw their trash around.

I am also a little surprised it hasn't been made into modern show. It would perfectly fit the paradigm of the modern story arc-based show that's centered around a big mystery. But, there's some consolation when one can see the influence of Roadside Picnic on other shows. Seems like it was a big influence on Lost.
You can absolutely write the same programs without std::move(), using out parameters for objects of expensive construction. Move semantics were introduced because they're a clear ergonomic win.
