Google has no long-term strategy for tablets. Best I can tell, every few years some product owners get together to once again do Google's Big Push For Tablets For Real This Time We Swear and the initiative goes until they get their promotions and then it's forgotten until the next round a few years later.

If you buy this tablet and like it, don't expect a successor. They'll release something completely unrelated in a few years, it might be running Chrome OS, it might have a keyboard accessory, it might have a pen accessory, it might have absolutely abysmal performance[1]. It's a complete grab bag.

And this applies to basically all Google products and services.

Why do they have these settings? Because shit software used shit MySQL +data corruption.

It might be better now. But for me it’s in the same shithole as mongodb, php (old style, so no recovery there even though it’s possible to create proper code) and most JavaScript.

Other things is that people don’t even want to use Oracle’s MySQL but MariaDB. Why the hell would I want to run a fork of something, and still keep calling it something else.

The only reason for MySQL is wordpress
There might be a selection bias there: the ones doing uber are the ones it works for. I only use taxis and several times I've had drivers who've been uber drivers and gone (back) to taxi for various reasons.

Of course that's got a selection bias in it too...

I wish the price was slightly lower so this could be no-brainer, but I'm a fan. The speaker dock seems like a gimmick at a glance, but I think it's compelling. It gives the device a definitive home at rest, and bi-modal utility. This is the kind of thing that fits super nicely in the kitchen.

Yes, but the usefulness of being able to automate that identification in near-real-time to debunk the firehose of falsehoods we get from everywhere would be astronomical

Anyone reading would have a huge edge in both being more accurately grounded in reality and being able to identify the biggest/hottest disinformation streams

> Being a wage slave is a choice. If you don't like your life, change it.

It's incredibly unfortunate that instead of using a shred of empathy to see that your situation isn't the situation of nearly everyone else in the industry, or alive for that matter. "If you don't like your life, change it" screams "I have no idea what I am talking about" because you're failing to see that situations elsewhere are different.

Take a software job in the US. You're working a minimum of 45 hours per week for 40 hours pay. If you have to work overtime you do so for free. If you get sick you have a mandated PTO allowance of 0. You might get two weeks. Your salary will be somewhere in the ballpark of $70k. Is that good? Yes. Is it enough? No. Not even close. If you change employer or region is any of that going to change? No. It won't.

So, what's left? Easy: be born into wealth and retire on it. Just change your life, bro.
Based on what the pork producers were saying, this will have the effect of making all American pork products more expensive, since effectively all pork in the U.S. would have to be raised to CA standards in order to be sold to CA customers.

CA customers already pay more for their pork than most other states' residents (beef and chicken are a large part of CA agriculture but pork is not), so the practical effect is a small relative increase in pork prices for CA residents and a huge relative increase in pork prices for everyone outside of CA.
None of these are computational processes, unlike intelligence. Unless you're trying to argue that intelligence isn't, either?
As far as I'm concerned, the only real market for this is as an upgraded Nest Hub hardware. It's not really competitive as a tablet (go to Samsung or Apple for that), but it doesn't really do anything differentiated, either.

If it is indeed the next gen of what would have been the Nest Hub Max, then this is what the first gen of that product should have been. The detachable tablet is a great idea, as is building a speaker into the base. It would be compelling if the MSRP was $349 or so, but not $499. For that amount, I could just buy two Nest Hub Maxes, or a quite nice iPad (or nice Samsung Android tablet).
There are tons of Youtube competitors that you can use right now. You're not though, because Youtube is better.
I do recall seeing some sort of promise of less ads. I think it said 50% less ads at some point in the process. (Personally I am paying for it for the same reason I pay for YouTube Premium and OpenAI Plus; I like the principle of paying for products I use - as much as possible, I want to avoid incentivizing companies turning my eyeballs into their real product.)

Man, the French have been rioting for weeks over raising the retirement age from 62 to 64, after raising it from 60 to 62 and incurring similar riots about twelve years ago.

In comparison, when the French Fifth Republic was founded in 1958, the life expectancy was about twenty-two years shorter than it is now. One would think it's reasonable to raise the retirement age a little to fit that.
Worse: buying a ticket generally decreases your expected net lottery winnings, as the expected value of a lottery ticket is almost always lower than its purchase price.

The only likely exceptions I'm aware of that don't require either cheating or inside information are atypically large progressive jackpots without commensurate increases in ticket sales (unlikely exceptions include finding exploitable patterns in inadequately randomized draws before they're otherwise brought to the attention of lottery operators).

For the record, my own personal net lottery winnings total nearly $400, consisting almost entirely of gifts and winning scratch-offs I've picked up off the ground (slightly more than $400 in winnings less $5–10 I've spent buying three or four tickets in my life).

So is this competing with Echo Show or Samsung S8 / iPad Air? I just cam't understand why they would go with the former?
Agreed, read it on the suggestion of a comment here on HN and found it fascinating.

> 12 hours battery life? My Pixel 7 Pro gets a claimed 2+ days.

That's 12 hours of screen on, displaying video. I assume that's not what you're doing on the phone when getting 2 days of batter life?
I think "democratized photography" is a perfectly cromulent statement to make. The cost of the PC is immaterial. People already had a PC for e-mail and porn. The average PC cost was also below $1000, not $2000. Even if they never bought a camera they still had a PC for e-mail and porn.

Photography got democratized because two different groups went digital: the 12-roll-per-year shooters and people that would never pay $10 a roll to get film developed. By 2000 there were 1-2MP point & shoots for $400 and just two years later such cameras were under $150. By the middle of the decade that would get 4-5MP (with a better overall sensor) and 10MP by the end of the decade (with yet better sensors).

Both groups were well served by the advantages of digital. They had a big viewfinder and could review photos on the camera. The 12-roll-a-year crowd could take a year's worth of photos at a single event. The new-camera-owner set could take only a handful of photos and not feel guilty for "wasting" their camera. Both groups could shoot trivial things they'd never waste film on.

Anecdata:

I got interested in photography around 99/00. The marginal cost of film ended up being prohibitive to me. I could barely afford to take enough photos to just learn the ins and outs of my camera. I then got a cheap digital point & shoot. It was 1.3MP and pretty much garbage quality optics. I used the everloving shit out of it and really learned how to use it. I learned to frame shots and to effectively use lighting. Just the fact I could take dozens of photos on a pair of rechargeable AA batteries just let me practice and experiment.
> car-oriented cities allowed US citizens to:

Citation? That's the opposite of everything I've seen here and elsewhere; Americans seem to see an hour-or-more commute as normal. Car-based cities give you great commute times until those pesky other cars start commuting and filling up the roads.

With a sane migration tool like pt-osc or gh-ost you can absolutely abort in the middle. What's more, you can pause in the middle or even slow down in the middle based on arbitrary logic (ie, pause migration if replication delay rises above a certain value). Postgres is nice and transactional DDL has its place but postgres stopped halfway through IMO. Vanilla Postgres > vanilla MySQL, but the migration story of MySQL + tooling is so far beyond Postgres + tooling that it's not even funny.

That said, if you don't expect to have tables with 100m+ rows, even vanilla postgres will be good enough.
I can't bring myself to think this will have a good lifecycle of support.

> I’ve always held off on impulse buying an iPad because my cart total starts creeping towards MacBook prices once accessories and storage are added.

I have that, too, but also think it’s a bit irrational. It shouldn’t be surprising that a tablet that is about as powerful as a laptop costs about the same as a laptop (iPad loses on connectivity, but is less voluminous, making it harder to give it high battery live)

so is this an echo show competitor or Samsung S8 / iPad Air?
You don’t need to take any DMT (or any other substance for that matter) to explore and experience this subject. The interesting thing about Shanon is how he collected data about Amazonian archetypes unique to ayahuasca. Jeremy Narby and a few others followed up on this, but it is considered the very definition of fringe science and isn’t well understood. Shanon, Narby, and McKenna were convinced that there was informational content within the drug that is passed on from the ingestion of the substance to the user, akin to Neo uploading Kung Fu directly into his brain. Sadly, however, nobody has ever been able to substantiate this claim or support it with the most basic kind of evidence.

But there is something to be said about culture and language and the Platonic forms that are communicated through writing. The domain of art, psychology, philosophy, mythology, religion, comparative literature, and theatre is chock full of it, and has enough material to keep you busy for five separate lifetimes. Archetypes, metaphors, symbols, and images in these disciplines are all different aspects of these so-called Platonic forms. In the theatrical arts in particular, there is a very strange body of literature surrounding the French troubadours that you may want to start with. The lore suggests that they were using poetry, music, and themes about love to spread these kinds of archetypes.
P2P is a WIP, which could alleviate issues like this. Did you report the problem on GitHub at least?

Tangential aside we've collectively made a mistake using A-F for HEX representation. Alphabetical order seemed obvious at the time, but there's a far more literal option that's just pleasing on a visceral level. LHTIFE. The horizontal lines of each letter are literally encoding binary information. True there's no letter encoding 3 in this block style but that can either be invented or ignored. Or you can fudge the pattern slightly with a diagonal such as z or a curved lower case such as b. It would have mapped so cleanly to 7 seg type displays. Even the name "HEX" is 2/3rds of the way to being self descriptive. A perfect little numeral grouping of chars.
Yeah, its pretty hard to watch.

Summarized bullshit is still bullshit akin to a polished turd.

Given that the choice of which articles to write is incredibly biased to begin with this approach does not seem effective.

What could theoretically work is an “AI news agency” that “summarizes” many different sources to generate unbiased articles.
Ahh, Android then, not iOS.
>I've been on several networks that blocked all outgoing UDP traffic because "it's for file sharing and we don't allow that".

I think we're thinkig about different things when it comes to middleboxes. It's not about networking rules on LAN. More about middleboxed that do queue management traffic prioriyy etc on MAN and WAN levels. If a network administrator wants to block something then so be it.

>For that reason I strongly doubt that anywhere these boxes are employed UDP traffic somehow goes by unnoticed

UDP doesn't go by unnoticed in these cases, but is more or less ignored in a way that TCP is not. UDP can't be blocked on WAN and MAN level as it's was widely used before middleboxes became a thing. New protocols however can't be introduced. Hence the QUIC solution. If you're interested in it more then MPTCP is also an interesting example of this
I've thought about this too - if you use tmux, you can use `tmux capture-pane` to grab all the output and scrollback in the current window.
Considering Google has no other "flagship" tablet offering, the pricing or positioning is not stellar. This in-lines this brand new Pixel device with ho-hum disposable tablets.

Ah, the sweet aroma of coverage bias, isn't it just the spice of the journalistic world? The quest to avoid blatant falsehoods is relatively straightforward, much like a game of whack-a-mole. Identify the blabbermouths, the rumor-mongers, the peddlers of deceit, and voila! You've successfully exiled them from your daily news diet. A glorious accomplishment, indeed!

However, when it comes to bias, things get somewhat...messy. It's like trying to play chess on a board that keeps shifting under your fingers. An insidious infiltrator, bias sneakily weaves itself into the fabric of reporting, subtly influencing what gets attention and what doesn't. We're all detectives in this narrative, sifting through data, trying to separate the wheat from the chaff.

News, like science, isn't a perfect process. What's chosen for investigation often matters as much as the ensuing results. News sources, then, become our guides in this complex labyrinth, and their credibility can make or break our understanding of the world. The elusive "objective narrative" might be a mirage, but some news oases are certainly closer to the wellspring of reality than others.

Now, consider the ill-advised adventurer who thinks they're diversifying their media intake by adding a dash of conspiracy theory and a sprinkle of sensationalism. Suddenly, they're questioning whether 5G is responsible for a global pandemic. A fascinating thought, no doubt, but one that's more suited for a science fiction novel, perhaps?

Practicality is key. If you're a trans individual or a parent of a trans child in Florida, news headlines like "Florida's Draconian Measures Against Trans Kids" are crucial for your well-being. If, however, you're more interested in the intricate dance of global finances, a business-centric outlet would be your go-to.

Media mammoths like The Washington Post and The New York Times attempt to cater to this myriad of needs, breaking down their content into neatly packaged sections like sports, economy, politics, culture, and so on. Yet, their own peculiar biases can sometimes stain the narrative (ahem, New York Times and your unfortunate penchant for trans panic stories).

In short, my dear friend, finding balance in news consumption is less like a serene ballet and more like a lively tango. You're constantly adjusting, recalibrating, and challenging your understanding of the world. Bias will always be there, lingering in the shadows. The trick is not to eliminate it, but to dance with it.

While PSA operated within a single state, there were no training requirements for its flight attendants. They were recruited by a lucky fellow who walked up and down the beach on weekends making offers. The recruits could be working on actual flights as soon as the following Monday. The airline had a discount flight from LA to SF around midnight on Friday night that was a couple of dollars less than the standard fare you mention. And the passengers on that flight could fly assured that the flight attendants had a week's experience.

> LLMs are ok at finding things that exist, but they have zero ability to abstract and find what is missing (actually, probably negative; they'd likely hallucinate and fill in the gaps).

I feel this is mostly a prompting issue. Specifically GPT-4 shows surprising ability to abstract to some degree and work with high-level concepts, but it seems that, quite often, you need to guide it towards the right "mode" of thinking.

It's like dealing with a 4 year old kid. They may be perfectly able to do something you ask them, but will keep doing something else, until you give them specific hints, several times, in different ways.

It's not a Google company, their share amounts to ~10%.
Some reasons, not all of which are applicable to this exact situation:

* Differences in tariffs and taxes.

* Differences in what deal they can make with local distributors.

* Cover cost of different consumer protections/warranty requirements etc.

* They think the market will sell enough units at the higher price to make it more profitable than a lower price.
