I shouldn't have said "drive", I could also walk to a corner store or bike to the grocery store but unless you're single or you only buy what you need immediately you need something else. I can't buy groceries for 2 weeks for a family and haul them back on foot or bike. And that's as often as I want to go to a grocery store, max. And as I said, getting that amount of groceries delivered is even better and at the same time this is so much more energy efficient and so much less wasteful than getting these "meal prep" kits. They just don't make sense.
I will not buy this without a fully unlocked everything.

This company is going to wait a few years and then charge you a shit ton for subscription to keep using your device.

No thanks, and honestly whoever goes with this is going to regret it if they don't make changes to their software.

Pick one:

- Sell the device

- Sell the software

If you do both, you're going to alienate your customers and get regulatory wrath on you. Don't emulate Apple. They're going to get their ass handed to them in the near future.

Take it even a step further and make the code AGPL. That way you know you're protected if a company decides to steal from you.

Thanks for the answer. Maybe it would have been better for me to ask if you are planning to improve the python WASM libraries yourself or are you going to wait for the existing community to get them to the point where they're usable for a project like this?

How to See Invisible Infrastructure (2015)
A few years ago in the South, coordinated ICE raids of a bunch of chicken "factories" owned by Tyson netted 800-900 arrests of undocumented employees.

Many of them testified that Tyson encouraged and coached them, even provided written instructions on how to deal with various employment/taxation things as someone undocumented.

Asked about this at a press conference, and whether there were "any plans to issue fines, or charges/arrests against the company or management at the company who were very much aware they were employing undocumented workers"?

DA / prosecutors: "We have not discussed and do not have plans to do so at this time."

And to no-one's surprise, no "plans to do so" showed up later, or at all, either.
It depends on your radiators and insulation. As a rule of thumb modern air-to-water heat pumps have a good efficiency up to a water temperature of 55 C. That can be enough if you have radiators with a large enough surface and no terrible insulation.
I've owned dev kit and still have a Quest 2, and don't think the motion sickness has materially improved that much at all, despite all the other improvements. Same experience for me with the latest Valve Index.

This looks cool. As someone who is CSS challenged, I have been waiting for more frameworks like this (seems similar in concept to pyjamas/vaadin/gwt). Ideally, with an even lower barrier of entry and hopefully well maintained.

small regional banks exist in Europe too.

They're historically related to having shareholders which are also local, or backed by local foundations, or have special relationships with the local businesses (like the ones in Italy that will take a wheel of cheese or balsamic vinegar as collateral). Not "bank of $city" tho.

The entire EV sector is taking a hit as investment dries up. The only company I think will make it out is Aptera. Even though they have not shipped a vehicle yet, it's lower price point and transparent business practice will ultimately be a better investment with an uncertain energy, and transportation future.
Yes. If it was easy to do, they would just do it.

But instead of actually doing it, they sell advice. Wonder why?
I totally get this concern. Any good piece of critical home infrastructure should be able to operate without the cloud or an internet connection. Following this logic the thermostat + heat pump combination can operate fine without the cloud. You leave some optimized behavior on the table like demand response and weather response, but everything else will work (you'd have to manually enter your TOU rate plan to get that energy optimization).
ThinkPad X13s (Snapdragon ARM) either meets or even beats Apple Silicon Macbook battery life.
We need to note that it's the CPU making all the difference here. The intel Macbooks always had mediocre battery life.
Their point is the UK is too small of a market by itself. I have some doubts about that analysis though given California effectively drives so much of the US car market and it's 30 million people smaller than the UK in terms of raw population, though it's also roughly even in terms of car sales each year.

> If you want someone who has experience being a "white hat" hacker, that's perfectly alright

Why is "white hat" hacker inherently used to mean "ethical" or "good"? Most normal people wear black hats.
I installed a Mr. Cool DIY mini split in my home for 2 rooms and so far it’s been great. That initial foray was a bit of an experiment. I’d like to just replace my central air now with a ducted heat pump but I haven’t found a good solution that doesn’t cost a ridiculous amount for a professional to install.

I think you have a big problem with selling direct to homeowners. Most HVAC companies will not touch a homeowner-purchased system. So if you’re selling direct, then you’re going to need DIY quick connect line sets like Mr. Cool.
The word 'telemetry' is my new trigger word. Nothing said will start us off on the right foot. I don't want additional unnecessary external calls with my preferred secrets solution. No matter how many promises. Stop calling other people!
Thank you

The need (I feel) to grow has to do with a few things. We're in a market segment that most people think is about to die, but it's actually growing. So, we're in a good spot.

I also feel like I owe it to my investors who want this to grow quite a bit, and that is why they give us money is to grow.

Last, I feel like I owe it to the people who work here, as I firmly believe that if you're not growing you're dying.
Documenting Arguments Against Artificial General Intelligence
We need a way to make commenting on social media cost something. As long as it is free there is no way humans can compete with bots. As nobody wants to spend real money on it we probably need some social credit system but one that is hard to game and probably rate limiting. We urgently need this otherwise AI will take over the world by dominating the social networks.
There are even (somewhat weak at recovery) domestic water heaters that run off 120V for those replacing a gas water heater in North America and want to avoid the cost of new wiring/breaker/panels.

Hey all, I'm the CTO/a co-founder at Mercury. Here's background on this and where we are now:

- We currently work with two partner banks, Evolve Bank and Trust and Choice Financial

- Both our partner banks operate or are part of a sweep network (https://mercury.com/blog/company-news/understanding-bank-swe...), where they can move funds into other banks. Each bank your money is in increases FDIC coverage by 250K.

- For customers on our partner bank Evolve, this was bumped from 1mm to 3mm as of this morning. You get this automatically if you have accepted the T&Cs for the sweep program already; if you haven't you can do so at: https://mercury.com/settings/vault

- For customers on our partner bank Choice, you're still at 1mm FDIC insurance. We are working on getting you an Evolve savings account (or getting increased coverage from Choice) by tomorrow morning, or you can keep excess funds in Treasury (see below)

# treasury

- We also have a product called Mercury Treasury. This allows you to invest in mutual funds, the safest of which is a Vanguard Treasury Money Market fund (VUSXX), which invests primarily in short-term U.S. Treasury bills https://investor.vanguard.com/investment-products/mutual-fun...

- These securities are held in your name at Apex Clearing, which is https://www.apexclearing.com/

- They're not part of any fractional reserve system like with banks; every share of a mutual fund you hold is in your name and Apex can't lend against it (unless you give them permission which would be weird)

- You can automatically sweep any funds between our treasury product and your savings account. Liquidity is about 3 to 4 days.

- All treasury funds are visible on your Mercury dashboard, so you don't have to manually manage fund movements or keep track of your total balance across websites

- You also earn interest on these

> bits are ultimately conveyed via analog electrical impulses

Yes, but unless the analog error reaches some certain threshold, the 0 will still read as a 0 and the 1 will still read as a 1. The bit is still a bit. The bits only cease to be bits after they reach the DAC.
Normal wiring is terrible, though, since it only supports turning the equipment on & off. If you have a variable-speed fan and variable-speed pumps, it would be nice for the thermostat to throttle those based on the load, but it can't.

If this company has a solution for variable-speed equipment, the best thing they can do is publish an open standard. Suppose the thermostat talks to the equipment over CAN bus, for instance, using a well-documented protocol. If they go out of business, anybody can hack together a compatible aftermarket thermostat.

A lot of solar equipment is already going this way, with batteries talking to inverters over open CAN bus protocols. As one of the biggest energy loads, the HVAC equipment should get in the game too.
I can’t imagine using Ansible to configure a single server, seems like the wrong tool IMO.

Why not something like docker-compose and put all of the config bits into a single repo?

That way you can clone the repo on a new server and simply rebuild the containers.
I understand what you mean but homosexuality is not a trivial matter in Christianity, to God, to the Catholic church, or to adherents of the faith. It's one of the big ones. Outing homosexual priests does not exclude the people doing the outing from also working to address other issues, should they have the resources and the inclination. All other important aspects of the religion don't fall to the wayside because there are hungry people in the world. The poor will always be with us.

> By all extensions it should be a depreciating asset like any other but due to economic forces it's not.

Technically it is. The house itself depreciates, it's just that the land underneath appreciates so much faster that it masks the depreciation of the structure.
Any idea how to make it persistent in the bottom left like the screenshot? I couldn't find any leads in the documentation.
I think they can produce water at temps to support both radiators and radiant floor heat, but they can't produce the capacity/volume needed
I think hallucination is akin to encountering a problem on a test to which you don’t fully remember the right concept to solve it. You might attempt the problem with whatever little knowledge you can recall, but the answer is ultimately incorrect. Likewise, these LLMs exhibit such behavior when they hallucinate. I think what distinguishes the LLM’s hallucinations from humans is the confidence level. A human who is unsure of their answer might tell you that they’re not certain or they don’t know. LLMs like chatgpt, however, will just confidently make stuff up.
TCP preserves the order.
Love the idea. As someone who's not trying to build The Next Big Thing (TM), but just get some stuff done - I appreciate the focus on the basics. A lot of the python webui's are heavily focused on AI/ML related stuff, which is cool - but what about those of us who just want to build an internal tool that does 5 specific things and nothing more? I try to avoid javascript if at all possible, so "python front to back" is really appealing.
It would be cool if you could create a payment component that just takes money off the top. Than anyone could build practically an unlimited amount of saas apps not worry about hosting and if they get paid you get paid.

One reason I looked at Dreamhost for hosting is they have an unlimited # of websites tier that is super cheap(sucks because it's php). If you can't build a payment component then some kind of pay as you go option would be cool.
Right, my thoughts as well. I'd love to have file-only database like SQLite but with EdgeQL instead. But at the moment EdgeDB is built on top of Postgres. Not sure if there were any discussions about abstracting it away.
Unicorn is the successor to Icon[0]. Unicorn language home page[1]

Paradigm is object oriented goal directed general purpose programming language. Technique revolves around the use of co-routines/generators.[2][3]

Short points per -- python semantics --:

More formal/mature semantics than python, less parentheses/more robust than ARC[4]

Language design has been around for multiple decades.
Icon/Unicorn language features seem less 'ground breaking' today compared to 80's / 90's.

Modern day use as a nice high level language to use as framework/ide where end result gets compiled to java script / java.

> SVB shares are worth $0 because there was a run on the bank and the US Government did not step in to save the bank, only the depositors.

And there was a bank run because the investors panicked and caused the share price to plummet. Depositors saw stock plummeting, got nervous and pulled out. If this type of thing spreads to other banks we'll have a bad time.
The UK has similar sales to California each year and CA has an outsized effect on the US car market so I'm dubious it can't have a similarly powerful position in regulating.
Yes. I'm particularly inspired by the work of Walter Bright whose D Programming Language finally allowed us to listen to new works.
SVB had $45B withdrawals on their $175B deposit base. That is not a small amount of withdrawals.

JPM has $500B of cash and cash equivalents on their $3T deposit base. Of which only ~$34B is in actual cash. Even JPM would fall (without Fed backstop) if JPM had that much withdrawals as a percentage of deposit.
+1 for Ansible, or really any tool of choice.

Even well-written scripts will do! Just know - if you go with writing your own, you're doing something someone probably already did as a module.

With proficiency Ansible is like writing declarative pseudocode. Say what you want and a huge library of Python will 'make it so'.

Eventually you'll have a library of roles that don't care about the operating system, maybe even the provider.

A peer comment mentions docker-compose. That's fine, but I prefer Ansible -- the DSL can be made very similar with a role... and it's far more capable. Like preparing the runtime.
Public schools have been instituting in "gig work" before that even became a term.

I remember in my elementary years (5-11 year olds) that the school would 'force' (peer pressure, competition, punishment of class for you not doing, etc) kids to get fliers of absolute utter garbage merchandise at exorbitant prices, and then go door-to-door selling these items. And the public school would get some unknown kickback for sales.

I remember when my parents said no to this, the teacher in class said "Since tarotuser won't sell anything, the class can never get a pizza party".

But... as a worse thought, that would indicate that Instacart et al should be able to target any age group, since gig-work is endorsed by the public school system and technically isn't "employment". But we all know better.
I like it. Reminds me of Vaadin and friends.

One question regarding the states: when do I get a new State allocated? Is it with every new tab? It's definitely not per-browser-session: if I open a new tab I seem to get a new state, while undoing a closed tab seems to recover its state with it though.

Also are old states gc'ed?
that's good to hear, I'd make sure it's mentioned in the FAQ at the bottom.
Putting aside fact that homeowners can buy HVACs online and get it shipped, how it differs from mrcool ducted heatpump that, for example can be bought for under 4k for 3ton model and have DIY install (no vacuuming needed), besides nicer of external unit and prettier app ? as opposed to 12k for yours + 8k install ?
Then I guess that also means I've now been using newsblur.com and its Android app for 10 years.

NewsBlur (and a handful of other RSS feed aggregators/reader apps) have continued to survive and offer some really useful functionality. None have really caught on in terms of discovering, sharing, commenting, and the other "social" functions of Google Reader. But they're still useful tools for those of us who like to read widely for both professional and personal reasons.
This problem is very ubiquitous - not just against YT but also on social media sites like Facebook.

I have given up reporting these. The social media companies usually employ some automated method, whereupon reviewing the post, said automation determines it's just fine.

I also went all the way to finding some prolific scammers in Canada, handing over their details to the FBI and state police... but two years later, their domains are still active in scam campaigns.

The big thing I think I would do in this situation is to find whoever is handling this problem the best and direct that community discussion over there, disabling comments on the video platform. If the video platform is unable to address the scammer bots issue, then that community traffic can just go somewhere else.

I don't know enough about the community discussion platforms/forums to say who's the best, but I've not seen this level of spam on self-hosted forums or even reddit.

This is definitely not the future I had anticipated as a kid on dialup internet in the 90s.
Answer: they don’t

(Seriously, I’ve gotten so fed up with Python package management that I just use CondaPkg.jl, which uses Julia’s package manager to take care of Python packages. It is just so much cleaner and easier to use than anything in Python.)
You must have had some pretty bad therapists to compare all of them to tarot cards.
Exactly.

They don't care if they screw the average joe.

They care about winning political brownie points from various voting blocks.

The policies and actions that win those points just so happens to screw the average joe.

The only logical course of action given those constraints and absent of any morals is...
Apple Watch is an entirely Tim Cook creation. Apple Silicon, too.

Apple TV is the only non-scummy streaming box. It doesn't sell your viewing data to advertisers (though individual apps may).

Apple TV+ has the highest signal-to-noise ratio of any non-niche streaming service. I don't think there's a close second.

The latest HomePods and software iteration has made an appreciable positive difference in the quality of my life -- the intercom feature in particular is huge. This may not be unique to Apple, but it's well implemented.

You can kvetch about bugs, declining software quality, etc (we certainly did when Jobs was running the place) -- but "meaningful"? Apple is more meaningful to more people than ever before.
??? - $15k per violation is still quite a bit of money. This is an order of magnitude more expensive than the pennies they saved by looking the other way.

The point of the fines is not to force the company into insolvency - if anything, the DOL would rather incentivize companies into compliance with labor laws than squash them and spread bad practices into harder-to-monitor industries.
As VR is. Yet 3DTV flopped anyway.
I very strongly feel like this really should be opt-in instead of opt-out. They seem to want to do things the right way, but having opt-out telemetry in a password manager is something I really do not want.
I use archive.is because it removes ads, cookie banners, and doesn't execute archived webapage's javascript.
Yes, it does, thanks for proving my point. You just ignored everything I said about their use as projective and painted them again as magical and kooky without any counter argument.
Thanks for the links. If something like that 2nd link actually works and can stimulate the inner ear to remove the problem entirely, that would be an incredible solution and easy to build into a headset band.
According to the news reports the Fed are guaranteeing the loans, not the FDIC. I think you're talking about the stuff that they were originally saying over the weekend.
It’s a toy. Seems like you are advertising for them.
I feel the same way about wine snobs.
But that is a correctness issue (to the end user), not a quality issue. Wouldn't that cause lag/pauses, or other errors when playing in real time?
Were they wearing drag? Because that is the real crime here.
Some banks are even offering the better rate if you open a different account with the same bank. They are definitely depending on people not noticing.
Server management tool with a potential of pushing backdoored update being controlled by someone residing in Moscow is plenty controversial.

All of these articles make one thing clear, there is a serious lack of good tools for building and managing your own on-prem cloud.
