Definitely feels like we're in a "who watches the watchers" situation here. I know that theoretically Congress can make laws to set limits on the SC, but the SC can also overrule those laws as long as they can come up with a reasonable justification.

And with 100+ years of precedence (much of which is contradictory or doesn't mesh well with modern morals or the current condition of the US (high technology, fewer physical workers, globalization, etc)), they have a lot of potential justifications at their fingertips.
This contrary to the GPL ethos.

>"The total TTT trend found in this

How can you "open source" something that doesn't include the sources?
While I understand what you're saying, I disagree with the premise.

A Justice doesn't have to be a Justice. They could stay on a lower court, or in corporate law, or wherever they were prior to being elevated to the bench. They could also retire and take a corporate job, just as many members of Congress and the Executive do (which is likely a different flavor of corruption, but another discussion). Point being, there is no need for a Justice to be corrupt for financial reason - $300k is objectively a lot of money in 2023 and they can always quit and go elsewhere.

We don't make the same argument for the President or Congress. We expect them to happily take their reasonable but not lavish salary (and then go do a book tour or whatever afterwards).
>Most folks on HN realize that "the military", in the sense of "the current general and admirals", have damn little influence over these outsourcing, single-sourcing, etc. decisions. That is mostly controlled by Congress,

I think your claim is way to optimistic in light of the fact there are other people claiming that the LCS boondoggle is the fault of faulty procurement and not Congress.

>You end up gluing together two of the electrons and these two electrons will accelerate at the same rate as the single electron.

Not really. You have swept under the rug the fact that it's really hard to glue electrons together. And if you were to actually find a way to do it, you would have to add so much potential energy to the system that it's inertial mass would increase dramatically. In fact, two electrons that were actually "together" (whatever that might actually mean for a quantum particle that obeys the Pauli exclusion principle) would have a mass orders of magnitude higher than two electrons separately.

You probably want to talk about ions in an electric field, which you can "glue together", but then it becomes rather obvious that they don't all accelerate at the same rate.

The equivalence principle is not the only thing that distinguishes gravity from other forces. There is also the fact that there is only one gravitational "charge" and it's mutually attractive. (Gravity is also many orders of magnitude weaker than all other forces.)

I just wish that the people that make canvas-based web stuff would realise how awful it is and tell people. I’ve interacted with a Flutter web thing once, for something that was only targeting the web. It was very painful. Flutter was completely the wrong tool for the job. But when they advertise their stuff, do they say “look, it kinda supports the web, but if you’re actually trying to target the web, please don’t use this because it’s just not good, and can’t be good unless we rip out the canvas stuff and render to real DOM elements”? Almost never.

Wi-Fi?

I meant that people rarely, if ever, complain about it. It's mobile data. You use it for apps and to browse the web. That's it. 3G was already fast enough for this purpose. I say that as someone who was relatively late to get an LTE-capable phone.

It's also a common understanding that cell towers have limited capacity and if there are many people in one place, your data connection might not work.

This relates to something that has been bugging me lately, which is as a parent I have zero parental control over the devices that our school board issues to my children. My kids have iPhones and iPads, which are part of my Apple family account, and I can both monitor what they are doing and also set limits on screen time including hours of usage and for particular apps. However, I recently became aware that my son was staying up until the wee hours of the morning scrolling on Instagram and YouTube, using his school-issued iPad, and I had no idea this was happening.

I am not entirely sure how to approach this. On the one hand, I am unsympathetic to parents who might want the kind of control that prevents children from accessing information about sexuality, for example. On the other, I really don’t want my kids to have unfettered access to social media and YouTube entirely without my knowledge. Suggestions on this are welcome.
Well, to be fair, if there is no PII, the telemetry isn't relevant at all and nobody should be concerned by it. (Except for the people that are concerned they will A/B test their software into exhaustion and optimize it into an abomination; but that's not a loud crowd.)

All the complaints are about them collecting PII. Even if they say they don't, the concern is that they could be lying, or change easily, and nobody would know.

Almost none except for few selected apps such as the Health App, and some pre-defined phone numbers (it does not even ring). I love to work in batches -- I do submissions to HackerNews like twice a day or more when I'm waiting for a meeting, webinar, etc. I run through WhatsApp/Messages as a daily chores at few intervals. RSS feeds are once a day or less. I'm still stuck with Twitter more often than I should but I see that I'm weening away from it too.

If you are still trying to "summarize" and consume more faster and better and be on top, personally I believe, you are on the wrong quest. There are too many advices on the Internet already but ask yourself the right question first. Once you have some clarify, the answers are pretty simple.

There will always be someone/something better, faster, prettier, cuter, bigger/nicer car, better/nicer/more house, spouse/partner - ask yourself where you want to stop and reduce to a very few tiny sets of focus.

I think I'm being cheesy and philosophical and I'm not good with it but I hope you get the gist of what where I'm trying to point.

Ok, maybe I’m an outlier here, but I love Siri on my HomePods. It does what I want in enough cases that it’s useful, multiple timers while cooking, setting them and canceling them when I am putting things in or taking it out of the oven.

Granted, I have very few things I use it for, but I like it. The kids like them in their rooms too. I’m happy with Siri, but maybe I don’t ask it to do much.

Indian here. I've heard stories from my father and grandmother, who grew up in rural India of how there used to be so many of them(The white-rumped ones), everywhere, back in their times, up until 20-30 years ago, when all of a sudden they all vanished. I was particularly excited first time seeing one in the wild, when I witnessed a Egyptian vulture flying overhead in Himachal Pradesh last month.
I don’t think you’re wrong that there are unintended consequences there. Thats the problem with politics. The simple solutions are wrong, and everybody hates how goddamned complicated the less wrong solutions are (and enough people hate compromise on principle so they sandbag the whole process).

My favorite is on the Apple TV, "search for [some video] on youtube" will actually open the app and search for it.

I think the big issue is that a lot of these aren't discoverable, and because Siri isn't very smart at natural language you won't discover them by asking for something similar like you could with Google Assistant. An LLM for parsing requests could be super interesting here.
Hmm...just like congress doesn't have a problem with trading stocks of companies in industries they oversee and have insider knowledge on, such as which businesses can be open and which ones have to close during the pandemic, or which company is going to get a big government contract, etc. Why do we leave these questions to the institutions themselves to answer? The answer will always be "we don't see a problem."

My second house is very respectable, newer, larger, technically incomparably better, it is not even the same ballpark ... yet my new house never provided me with the same joy.

It's the little things in life.
It's something I'm thinking about.

The system right now is highly reliable, I have no fear of doing a live demo of it, but live demos come off as strange because my feed is a strange mix of arXiv abstracts, Guardian articles about association football, etc. so it comes off as idiosyncratic and personal. (Oddly when I started this project I loved the NFL and hated the Premier League, when I started doing feature engineering as to "Why does it perform so well for arXiv papers and so poorly for sports" I started studying football articles in detail and started thinking "How would I feel if my team got relegated?" and "Wow, that game went 1-0 and it was an own goal" and next thing I knew I was hanging on every goal in every game Arsenal and Man City play -- it changed me.)

It's not even that hard for me to swap algorithms in and out but it should be easier, for instance I like the scikit-learn system for model selection mostly but there are some cases like SVC-P where I want to bypass it and I am not so sure how to comfortably fit fine-tuned transformer models into the system.

Another problem with it is that it depends on AWS Lambda and Suprfeeder for ingestion, it costs me less than $5 a month to run and about 10 cents per feed but (1) that's not cost-effective if I want to add a few hundred blogs like

https://www.righto.com/

and (2) I know many people hate AWS and other cloud services.

If somebody were interested in contributing some elbow grease that would help the case for open source, alternately a hosted demo of some kind would also be possible but I'm not ready to put my time and money into it. Contact me if you're interested in finding out more.

Is this any different than Alexa or Google, though? I guess Google is probably better at looking up facts and Alexa at ordering stuff (if buying things without even seeing a picture is your thing), but neither is that useful.

US adult cigarette smoking rate hits new all-time low
Problem with something like Vampire Survivors is that the quality of game you make has very little to do with its popularity. Even poncle (the guy who made VS) admits this as there were many very similar games before VS and many after it. Some of those are objectively better video games but just never got popular. VS is basically an indie movie becoming a mainstream hit equivalent of video games.

This is very different to something like Call of Duty, Diablo, The Last of Us, etc where you put a lot more money into the game and if you actually make a good game (and fund a large marketing budget) it will most likely sell well. Same recipe works for Disney and other large movie studios.

Basically if you went to watch the next Marvel movie and you were greeted with $50 000 budged indie movie special effects and the no big name cast it gets you would you be a satisfied customer? (and you were expecting Marvel movie special effects and big star actors)

And something like Call of Duty makes more money every month then Vampire Survivors has made in the ~1 year it has existed.

I’m frankly surprised that Siri hasn’t moved to on-device voice recognition. It’s by far my biggest complaint with Siri: random, unpredictable delays or outright failures to recognize simple messages because the network is unstable or unavailable.

There’s other trash too: the other day I tried asking Siri to play a song from my library, but it misinterpreted the song title and proceeded to activate a seven day trial of Apple Music Voice to play some random track on Apple Music. I didn’t ask for that subscription!

To be fair, for the tiny subset of functionality I do use - navigate by voice, set timers, get terrible jokes to amuse passengers - it works fine.

But both TCP connections are to localhost so, you get 64K MTU unlike 1500/9000 over a network connection. Also, blocking / polling will be much quicker locally (in the order of microseconds not milliseconds minimum for over the Internet).

And lastly you can host it on port 443 so it will look similar to a HTTP connection externally.

It's not anywhere near as bad as you conjecture.
It’s not a dumb question but I think the issue is the abstraction layers you’re looking at.

Computing is hard in general. Your operating system and compilers do a lot of work that you don’t need to be aware of. In that way, your programming languages are high level abstractions and you trust the compiler to give you the best performance. However people still write simd intrinsics and assembly to get even more perf when the compiler can’t.

GPUs used to be much simpler , in that the abstracted a lot of the complexity away, letting the driver and hardware deal with things like a compiler would. But due to being so massively parallel, people wanted lower level control. This is almost exactly like people using simd intrinsics on CPUs.

So the programming model for GPUs became lower and lower level to allow for maximum performance. The higher level interface moved into frameworks and game engines.

Really, if you find this complex (and it is), you should start by learning a game engine. Just like dumping a first year student into simd would be hard, so is learning about GPUs from the graphics APIs.

Start high and go low, because a lot more will make sense as you understand the building blocks better from context.
