> I will wait for 2-3rd generation before buying it.

Smart strategy.

I waited for the reMarkable 2 to get better, but it just gotten worse and all it offered was an under powered and non-upgradeable and laughable 8GB of maximum storage + a cloud storage subscription for more storage.

The Kindle Scribe already starts with 16GB and is cheaper than the reMarkable 2 with the equivalent accessories coming with it. I guess the one that can actually deliver a proper e-ink tablet that just works, it would be unsurprisingly Amazon, hence why it is already an immediate best seller.

I'll wait until whoever releases a color E-ink tablet, something that the reMarkable 2 has failed to deliver on, despite some early competitors already selling them but support and features from them isn't going to be as good as Amazon's.
That's because it's a political issue inside AWS. They have the technology to report it automatically, but there's a strong pressure not to post "green-i" or yellow or red, because those things impact SLA payments.

So if there's any way they can spin it as not an outage they will try not to post it.

Its hardly the only state to do this. Many states that passed these laws already, such as Colorado, Connecticut, Nevada, Washington, New York, New Jersey and many more are introduced in state legislation around the country.

I don't see this as anti-business either. If anything, it makes it easier to investigate how your competitors are paying their workers and act accordingly.
Anecdotally, I have SF colleagues who surprisingly often have to interrupt phone calls to check on disturbances outside. Filing a police report does nothing even for battery.

I'm still amazed by this Greater LA story where a vagrant has holed up on a woman's front porch, and the police won't do anything.

I agree that incarceration isn't progressive, but is it conservative? I mean I'm sure conservatives will appreciate brutalizing (those they perceive as) criminals for little more than the sake of it, but prisons in California aren't cheap, and is there much appetite for even more taxation?
Humans don't deserve the technology is classic sci-fi trope. Sadly, it's more art imitating life though. How long does it take for a society to be considered an ancient society? We've only not destroyed the planet with nuclear weapons for less than 100 years. That seems like such a baby step. Every bad thing we've done with tech since the atomic bomb has been misused at an even faster rate which seems to be gaining pace.
This is scary for employers and might be the most misguided move California’s made yet. Going to be a “whooshing” sound of companies headed East…

In 2015, a malicious copy of Xcode, XcodeGhost, also performed a similar attack and infected iOS apps from a dozen of software companies in China. Globally, 4000 apps were found to be affected. It was not a true Thompson Trojan, as it doesn't infect development tools themselves, but it did show toolchain poisoning can indeed cause substantial damages.

Once you're able to get access, I believe you'll receive 15 credits per month for free. Each credit allows one generation, and each generation produces 4 images.

Rather than using up credits trying to learn how to formulate your prompts, I ran hundreds and uploaded them to https://generrated.com (I posted it a couple of weeks ago as a Show HN) — hopefully they might be useful as a starting point and save you some credits/money.
Even if it were, how bad is public salary info?

For h1b holders that info is mildly public: https://h1bdata.info/index.php?em=google&job=software+engine...

In Washington state, all public employee salary information is not anonymous at all: https://fiscal.wa.gov/salaries.aspx

Companies already pay to get explicit salary info: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29834753

When companies have access to wage info, but workers don't, that creates asymmetric information in favor of businesses.

In exchange for giving up some privacy, my negotiating power, and therefore theoretically my ability to negotiate pay goes up.

I would rather have my salary public than to potentially be underpaid by several tens of thousands of dollars.
You're assuming that the all-cash (or mostly-cash) buying is buying with their own cash.

I don't know about you but in my generational cohort the people buying entirely on their own earning power is a small minority. The bulk of buyers are only able to enter the market due to generational wealth - and that comes in the form of cash.

So yeah, agreed in principle that if you had $X in cash lying around it'd be a poor choice to put it all on a piece of real estate. But in this case the $X in cash doesn't belong to you.

The whole state of the housing market is beyond alarming - not only are things completely unaffordable to wage earners, the people who are able to survive in this market are overwhelmingly doing so via familial and generational wealth. This is a flywheel of wealth inequality that is accelerating by the day - the well-asseted use their wealth to catapult their offspring into more assets that largely wage-earning classes (even very well-paid wage earners) are completely cut out of.
So it can do multi-level tree matching?

Very interesting…

One of the projects I occasionally poke at is a burs (bottom-up rewrite system) generator used to do cost-based tree rewriting. Think this is a concept that might make sense in that context, just need to find the time to play…

Easy thwart: Run a document through a couple different languages in Google translate then back to English.

The writing will be understandable if not especially elegant, and my understanding is it's like a hash: after a couple hops in Google Translate it's not possible to "un-translate" it back to the original source document. e.g. English -> Spanish -> Esparanto -> English won't yield the original document if you then run the translations in the reverse order, and it wouldn't really be possible to determine which languages it was run through in the first place using only the end result document.

Of course, I'm sure the government could just get the Google Translate logs if they really wanted to . . .

The Kindle Paperwhite uses a USB-C connector. (It probably still uses USB 2.x for data transfer, though -- I'm not sure why that would matter to anyone).
There's quite a bit of confusion in this thread regarding "chronic homelessness" vs "temporary/short-term homelessness". The solution for short-term homelessness is generally the use of "emergency shelters", of which San Francisco has many. However, emergency shelters do little to nothing to address chronic homelessness, which requires long-term supportive housing, something San Francisco has very little of.

This difference, which gets lost in discussions such as the one here, leads to bad-faith statements by politicians and others regarding the true amount of housing available for homeless people. For example, the number of "available beds" touted by Newsom and others are almost entirely within short-term emergency shelters, which do not address the real problem (chronic homelessness) much at all. Instead, this "number-of-beds" statistic is used to gloss over the fact that a real solution has not been found, and then justify (probably illegal) police action against homeless people. The true intent of such actions is probably to cause regular disruption in the lives of homeless people to increase the difficulty of simply being homeless in San Francisco. Whether or not you agree with such police action is up to you, but it's important to acknowledge that the argument that "there is available housing" is a bad faith argument, and that this argument is simply used to redirect attention from both police action against homeless people as well as the fact that a real solution has not been found.

Here's a citation that describes the differences between short term emergency housing and long term housing, which illuminates why the current approach being taken by San Francisco is not genuine as well as approaches that might actually work:

The idea isn’t to be more or less opinionated, its to learn to respect other people enough that you can manage communication and relationships with others who have different ideas. Unless you can make space for other people, you can’t reasonably expect them them to make space for you.

This is a American culture thing as well. It regularly surprises me how people that sounded like experts actually turned out to know less than me. I've come to learn to discount anything American-raised people say and double the assumed knowledge of a quiet person from other places.

Iran's society is generally supportive of women, it is the religious institutions that enforce strange ideas on people. I think most of the population has been complacent about fighting them.

I worked for a year at a research institute in Germany which had several female Iranian students. It was simultaneously true that: (1) women could get undergraduate degrees in Iran in subjects like physics and (2) many of them wanted to get the hell out of Iran.

Instead of staying and pursuing collective change they take care of themselves and leave. It's an interesting question in general if immigration from repressive or unequal countries (say South Korea) stabilizes local politics enabling regimes that would otherwise be unsustainable to lumber on.

Blender doesn’t take VC money that I am aware of. They do accept donations, many of which are from large multinational corporations, but I don’t think any of those are expecting equity in Blender; they do it for ideological and/or strategic reasons.

Still, it’s not like there aren’t many, many companies that make money from open source, including when it’s their own code they are open sourcing. (Honestly I wished way, way more lawyers and executives in general understood where the value their company provides actually comes from. Too many times they think their “secret sauce” is the actual code when it’s really the team and the labor that went into creating it, maintaining it, supporting it, and selling it. They aren’t being paid for the code, they are being paid to deal with it!)
It makes sense since Motif was based on OS/2 Presentation Manager which was also the basis for Windows 3.1's look.
You're just wrong. US manufacturing is a lot more than final assembly of airplanes and automobiles. Aerospace and automotive aren't the top manufacturing sectors either. You're just wrong about that. You can look up that you're just wrong, but you're not bothering to. You can look up that final assembly is manufacturing - your book is just wrong. Why should I take "your book" seriously about anything?
Actually I should have shared the link I was using - my figures included proportionally higher taxes and insurance per the Smartasset calculator to get to the same monthly payment. Though yes, the down payment would be higher since I assumed 20% down for both.

But it's not "not politically correct" it's just plain "not correct". Every homeless population in every city has its share of drug-addicted and mentally ill people. What most cities don't have is SF's insane expensive rental market. Follow the money.
Yes, in the strictest sense both browsers may rely on public open source libraries, which means they have some shared code, but they do not share any code directly with each other (e.g. Chrome is not a dependency of Firefox, Firefox is not a dependency of Chrome). I see this as not equating to "code sharing" because they both happen to use a library. Ironically for other apps that'd usually be something like OpenSSL, but in the case of Firefox and Chrome they actually have entirely separate TLS codebases as well (NSS for Firefox and BoringSSL for Chrome).

For some of these shared open source libraries, either Mozilla or Google is the primary contributor/maintainer, and both organizations usually make contributions. This is true across many things, even libraries in the open source space that are not involved in the browsers themselves but may be in the toolchain (Mozilla has produced robust open source CI/CD tooling, bug trackers, etc over its history).
> who is harmed

This is begging the question (assuming morality must be based on harm or consent). Not everyone agrees on the morality of all sorts of things. Human sacrifice has been licit in various times and places. Lending someone a high-interest payday loan is a consensual transaction but morally suspect according to many, and so on.
See motel owners getting paid $100k and even $250k+ per key by the government:

https://mynorthwest.com/2744155/seattles-two-new-hotel-homel...

The motels would be worth nowhere near that much if sold as a motel, and it is happening all up and down west coast cities. I know one property that sold for $150k per key, which would have sold for half that to a non government buyer, and the kicker is that it sits empty except for housing 2 guests that were already living there when the government bought it in summer 2021.

You can use it locally or hosted. The hosted services are all cheaper than dalle2. It runs on google colab's free tier.

Also, you can run it locally on a non-powerful machine. It just takes longer, but you can also just queue up as many prompts as you want and let your machine crank them out at its own pace. I use a first-gen macbook air m1 and it usually takes ~90s to generate an image with my usual settings.

Having read all the details it's not clear that this applies to non-CA incorporated companies hiring remote workers who happen to reside in CA (or move to CA).

I'm not even sure how they could enforce in that case, honestly. If you're incorporated in CA, it's pretty clear you have CA state requirements to comply with.

Google owns most people's window to the internet: from the browser and sometimes even the operating system all the way to what sites they get to see, and even the content itself. Amazon handles most online shopping in the US, may have an even larger share in other countries. Meta owns most of the social networking and messaging apps of the world. I'd argue there's plenty of evidence that each is a monopoly in its own category, aggressively eliminating any competition from the market.
Certainly - and said drug cities would have billions poured into them, and outside assistance.

As to the drug-addicted or mentally unwell folks, we are going to have to figure out some other method than asylums, in neighborhood group homes, or the streets. All of these had major scandals and disfavor from the communities affected.

Its going to have to be an involuntary solution (yes, incarceration), and its probably going to involve moving people to a ranch-like area away from the city with a much different housing setup than some cells or apartments, maybe something with individual shelters with outside spaces. I expect its going to be a commitment of years or forever for some of these people. Working on people's mental health and addiction is not some 30 day process. Just the dentist bill alone will be scary, but its not going to get better in a tent in SF.
