How is the device itself "open source?" Are there schematics and so forth available?
There is a great lovely w3c spec to do Chromecast, but as an open protocol. A remote control protocol for the web. https://github.com/w3c/openscreenprotocol

I really hope we can do it. So far it's almost exclusively Google putting the work, to take their tech (derived from Netflix's common sense/simple Dial protocol) & re-protocol-ize it again.

Such amazing benevolence, in my view. But if you want tech to succeed, you need to set it free. If you love it set it free. Create more value than you capture. Again here as in many places, I can say, thank you Google. You empower a great connected medium. It is good. These acts are great.
Yes, multiple people on YouTube recreated the scenario in a flight simulator and found that it could have been landed safely.
Apple used to know how to do this:

The Apple Macintosh PowerBook Duo Dock turns a PowerBook Duo into a full-featured desktop Macintosh including a 1.44 MB floppy disk drive, a complete set of desktop ports, and NuBus slots as well as the options of a secondary 230 MB hard drive and a 68882 FPU to improve performance.

The Duo Dock is compatible with all of the grayscale PowerBook Duos (210, 230, 250, 280), but can also support the color Duos (270c, 280c, 2300c/100) with a replacement lid.

Reminds me of recently reading an opinion about how thrifting has been ruined by the upper middle class. The person expressed how thrifting is a necessary need when growing up poor and how the trend of thrifting in popularity among middle class has reduced the quantity of quality items to basically none. Quality of life I believe is getting worse for a lot of people regardless of how long we can force people to stay alive with medical means.
I briefly owned a Pixel C and found it to be a buggy mess. Ultimately returned it. Wouldn’t be a surprise if that were a major factor in it being a flop.
One practical problem with the OpenAI API is you'll get 'server busy' responses pretty regularly, making your app less reliable.

Another problem is it will typically not ask clarifying questions, so it can often make a wrong assumption about ambiguous wording or missing information in your prompt, but not tell you.

It seems to have an inexplicable penchant for certain outputs, for example I asked GPT-4 to rate a myriad of things 1-10 for relevance, and a third of its ratings were exactly 7.8.

If you're dealing with vector-based context, there are even more issues: for example it fails on negations and doesn't know about newer words - i.e. "find me all the competitors to Pinecone" would not give you good results, because the embeddings model doesn't know what Pinecone is and the embeddings aren't similar to an actual competitor like Milvus.
You might find this article from Mike Masnick of TechDirt, one of the contributors to the game, interesting:

He's been writing about the difficulties of site moderation for a long time.
That's EASY

PostgreSQL. The answer has always been PostgreSQL, even at the height of MySQL's popularity and LAMP craze.

It is a VASTLY better piece of software and ecosystem - yet it's boring at the same time - all things I demand from the DB system whether it's a toy project or an enterprise app.
I don't, that's why I keep taking them... but I've had periods of time where I lived abroad or didn't have easy access to the medication, so I had to taper off it. It definitely sucks, and especially after you stop using it, you'll feel especially slow and groggy. You'll also gain a lot of weight. But after a few months you'll feel pretty "normal," at the cost of having all your ADHD symptoms return.

The slightly less obvious story here: this is a breaking change to Go, and they’ve managed to find a policy whereby such a change is permissible. I think that’s the more substantial development, though this is quite an ugly wart and I’m glad it’s off.
Straterra is an option but I believe works like an anti-depressant. My experience wasn't great with it, but who knows? If it works for you that's great!
Great point. I need to test this more & find out.

I have seen a bunch of changes in the past year go by about how scrubbing is prioritized & what capacity it is allocated. On the one hand, unsettling. But also, good to see folks are prodding at this area.

I don't even know how we got here. Population growth has been below average for the last 3 years(no immigration). Housing/Apartment construction didn't slow down.

I just don't understand it. Mortgages are insane. If you're buying a rental property with a mortgage, you can't afford to not rent it out.

But home costs are up, rental costs are up, and properties are vacant. Do we really have so many people able to afford to sit on empty properties rather than lower rental price? It's also insane. Most rents are north of $600 around here, and a $10-a-week difference is $520 a year in rent. So if you raise rent by $50, that's $2600 a year extra(excluding taxes). but if the apartment stays empty for 6 weeks while you wait for someone willing to pay, that's likely to cost you > $3000. So that $50 increase has a 1 year payoff, assuming a long-term tenant.

The whole market is irrational. The greed of landlords these days is palpable.

I think we need a wealth tax on people who own more than 2 properties. Start making landlording infeasible and get people to instead invest their capital in productive assets.
It was weird to me that opening this link in my mobile Brave browser opened it at a zoom level where I had to scroll side-to-side.

If you're only going to check one thing, shouldn't it be how your own browser loads your site if you're a browser company?
Now and then, someone posts on HN their saga about disrupting real estate. It’s difficult, but I wonder what would help those like your parents.

I wonder what it would take for eBay to auction real estate, and whether older people in 2030 would try that instead of this caveman.
Yeah, honestly it probably forces more sales than it prevents people from buying ipads at all.
Bold of you to assume I don't actively research and keep up with the latest products and OS.

iPads are also not uncommonly given to kids too; what kind of counterargument is that? Puerile.

The point still remains: the iPad doesn't do what I and others require. If you love the iPad, great, but it's not everything to everyone.
I've had a few romantic connections begin on planes and trains, too. I wonder how common it is. There is something to this advice, which is that most people in airports look confused and lost, so looking like you know how to travel and have your shit together, being relaxed, maybe helping people lift their carry-ons and whatnot, can make you seem like someone people find easy to talk to.

I do dress well when flying and when in Vegas, but I do it for my own sense of aesthetics and elegance. It reminds me to slow down and hold myself well, and it definitely doesn't hurt when going through customs.
> I consider those who do things against their children in the name of views up there with the worst kind of human.

IMO, the prank videos are at least as bad.

* There are many people, many of whom are children, that don't understand that most of those videos are staged.

* Every so often people being pranked - especially by copycats who prank strangers in public - react violently.
Yes, I identify with this. My adaptation/compensation for it is to be specific with the thanks — never just “thank you” but “thank you for …” and mean it, kindly.
First time viewer here.

How did the presenter know there was going to be a war going on between 2020 and 2025 all of the way back in 2014?
Hm. My memory must be going; I remember the Dart being much larger. And you're right; I'm certain that modern FWD compacts probably do use interior room better.
That was a fun week
> We don't have sufficient birth rates to maintain things and so both economic productivity but also the tax base will be significantly harmed without this immigration.

With family reunification, it's not uncommon to see aging parents and relatives be sponsored. They add very little to the tax base but are a huge burden long term.
I'm pleased to report that the courts don't agree here in Australia. I was taught this story at university - apologies in advance if I've butchered some of the details.

As I remember it, there was a famous case decades ago where a bank manager visited the home of an elderly Polish couple. The couple had a mortgage with the bank, and the bank wanted to renegotiate the terms of their mortgage. Only the wife was home, and she barely spoke any English. She understood that the man in the suit from the bank wanted them to sign some paperwork, so she did. As a co-signatory of the mortgage, her signature was enough.

The couple eventually lost their home as a result, and the case went through the courts. Eventually the high court (equivalent of the supreme court in the USA) sided with the couple. They said that because the bank has more money and skill, they have more power in a negotiation like this. As a result, they bear proportionately more responsibility during contract negotiations. In this case, it was their responsibility as the powerful party to make sure the borrowers actually understood the terms they were signing.

We basically only have 6 banks in Australia because of things like this. Its very difficult and expensive to open a new bank in australia because of regulatory requirements. But my impression is that the banks here are extremely careful when it comes to interacting with unsophisticated investors. They (reasonably) assume the courts will rule against them if they do anything that doesn't pass the pub test.

Nothing. It's supported for at least another 3 years. ~2026
What is it? I waited like 45 seconds to be able to read the 10 words of description but still came out with no idea.
Yes, which is why more people need to vote minor parties and independents if there are good ones in their electorates. Basically our major parties are a bit like the US - the Liberal/National coalition, like the Republicans, govern for the rich at the expense of the poor, and the Labor party (like the Democrats) just maintain the status quo but put a progressive PR spin on it... The political ratchet, where one party moves things, and the other just stops things moving back...

At least our voting system actually lets minor parties win seats, which is why I think our Government is at least a bit less crazy than the States.
I have not had that happen in MySQL either, at least, not with innodb. what command would that be?

I do remember getting bad tables with myisam tables a decade ago, sometimes after a bad shutdown.
Some of these are very silly. There's nothing wrong with golf umbrellas unless you're in a crowded place; pointing is fine, so long as you're not pointing at something with feelings; the advice on accepting compliments doesn't mention why you should accept and move on (it's because deflecting makes the other person compliment you even more, which is narcissistic); at least half my female friends laugh at or are offended by faux-gallantry like going through a door first, even though they appreciate actually important things like waiting with them until their ride home arrives; urinal etiquette is contextual, and at a music festival after 12am it's probably rude not to talk; ordering everything medium-rare fails to take into account the unique qualities of the cut of meat; you can eat oysters however you want, and there's nothing wrong with mingonette nor other vinegar-based garnishes; and so on for all the rest.
There is no good answer. Adderall is a miracle drug for people like us.

To get by without, you have two options: incredible discipline and force of will, and overcompensating with other stimulants.

Meditate, exercise, do anything it takes to force yourself into whatever structure fits your life. I'm talking to-do lists for your to-do lists and scheduling your daily time down to brushing your teeth. You have to force structure onto your life to contain your attention and energy. You have to make some truly profound changes in your life.

Or drink way too much caffeine, smoke too many cigarettes and try very hard to not think about the damage you're doing.

The only shortcut I know of is to get enough black market adderall for a couple of months and use that to keep yourself functional long enough to build the systems and habits that can keep you going without.

See the Getting Things Done method, pomodoro, and find a good task management system. Write everything down, find a system for keeping notes. Also try keeping a diary.

Also try to reduce your phone and computer usage. If your phone supports it, use monochrome mode. Push yourself to read more books instead of watching videos or playing games.
I agree much of it is insufferable:

> One day you’ll find yourself saying “like” a lot. Please stop. If this generation can’t quit the habit, we’ll eventually have an American president who speaks that way too.

People who think this way really grind my gears. I especially enjoy that, like, there's no explanation for why this would be a problem.
Ughh... It's all too familiar unfortunately. I've gone without my meds for a week or two on occasion over the past year.

I was hoping for "this one weird trick" life hack silver bullet to save the day.

My wife and I are expecting our first child later this year. It's becoming apparent the only way to minimize my reliance on a capricious and inconstant system is to pull off the bandaid now and chart my path out of these woods.
Is it really luck?

Where's the European phone, the European OS. European Cloud? ChatGPT?

American engineers and companies provide the bulk of tech's value added.

> Whereas in Europe we're lucky to get $80k in the same jobs, and then the state steals half of that :/

Are those really the same jobs?

This sounds like the end of Twitter's tech culture.

I don't think we will be seeing a stack rewrite as Musk claimed a while ago.
Yikes, I was under the impression that it was included in the $449. Nope, gotta drop another $100.

My point stands: Apple has pen as primary accessory, Google has dock.
Not since 14.6. :-)
I remember being taught about "yellow journalism" in the 1890s history chapter in school. Maybe in the future they will have some name for the kind of influencer culture or sponsored deceptive clickbait youtubing illustrated in this article and they will teach about it in some history chapter in schools.
I hate to respond to arguments made in bad faith, but this is so ignorant that I simply have to.

If you read the article, and the excellent primary reporting it links to, you'll see that these companies are swindling people for significantly less than they would get from the open market. These people could hire a realtor and retain 95% of the value of their home. However, scams like "We buy ugly houses" blanket areas in advertisements so these folks never even get to find their market value - instead, selling for 50% or less of it. They're intentionally targeting folks who are least-likely or least-capable of protecting themselves with due diligence.

I've witnessed this myself. An elderly man under full-time care, in another state, inherited a property in my neighborhood. A "franchisee" of one of these places got him to sign over the "right to buy" for a fraction of what it would have sold for in a single day on zillow or similar. I was interested in buying it, but I didn't want to end up owning something that way, so I reached out to the man directly to link him to the (much higher) estimated value.

I never received a response from him: just from a "caretaker" who, I imagine, was being enriched somehow by the deal. I doubt the actual owner was ever informed.

It's incredibly predatory and there's a whole industry of "how to" get into it (it being "wholesaling," or unregulated real estate brokerage):

I think this is the most economical option too, thanks. There are some decent rack mount shelves you can buy.

It would not look as aesthetically pleasing or perhaps be as stable as bolted and racked equipment, but the function is the same.
I think sponsors pay surprisingly well, like 10k for that video wouldn't be unreasonable, and it could be way more.

The plane he crashed was a real beater, not worth much at all.
I can never figure out, if I scroll through say an 8MB flash binary, how can I in an automated fashion auto create/auto analyze what Ghidra thinks is a pointer? I have to scroll through them, look to the right hand side for `? - 80012345`, press P, keep scrolling.

Would absolutely love help on this.
This article said nothing about zoning.

People can live alone, affordably, with a higher supply of housing, not just for rent and purchase, but we’ve gotta build much more than single family zoning.
Questions I haven't yet been able to answer from browsing the various Baseline sites:

- What are the exact browser versions that are included in Baseline? "Everything that is fully supported in the most recent two versions of major browsers will be part of Baseline" isn't enough information for me - I want it to tell me exactly which browser versions those are, ideally with rough estimates as to the percentage of users who are covered by them.

- Which features are part of Baseline? Do I have to browse through every page of MDN to find out? I'd rather see a single big table showing me them all in one place (and ideally also a JSON file or similar)
What was the point of this pedantry? "Ha - caught you using a computer when you said you don't really use one!". Really?
This is very unexpected - why would fednow integrate with some random blockchain? And the PR article liked by hbcondo714 is now a 404. What gives?
I asked it for the password letter-by-letter, and it was happy to tell me, but it started getting letters wrong after 5 or 6.
This is just barely scratching the surface of the surveillance society that our own tech industry has enthusiastically embraced, at every opportunity.

Even from the very first alpha prototype or placeholder Web site we create, we almost always throw in third-party "analytics". Haven't even launched MVP, and already selling out out the privacy of our visitors.
Also, yeah obviously T can't be mapped, but I still put T in the same category as all the other square intersecting grid letters. There are other, obviously repeating groupings that would work better on a different segmented basis. Some examples: diagonals {Z N X Y A V K 7 4 W M}, circle based {O G C Q D}, loopy: {B P b d q J S 8 9 3 }, 7 seg: {L H T I F E}
In the Gatsby example, I'd expect the model to be able to answer "which sentence from the story felt out of place?" without knowledge of the original.
It's a missed opertunity to add a teeny bit of compute to it. This dock is essentially the same as what Lenovo released a couple years back only that was also a bluetooth speaker.
It will never be done during the budget process because Republicans would need to show their hand. They can't balance the budget without touching the third rail of politics.

Android is not a cloud service like iCloud. Fundamentally it will not make any promises about the encryption of it's services.

That being said, I can use open-source projects like Syncthing or Owncloud to handle my syncing, and skip the whole mutual trust part. Though I'm sure the NSA does a wonderful job auditing Apple's private codebase, for whatever sense of security that offers.
I've definitely run in to these kind of issues and learned about them the hard way, but I found that in PostgreSQL it's quite a bit easier to understand what is actually going on due to better documentation and tooling, and I've found this very valuable. Maybe it's just because I've spent more time with PostgreSQL than MariaDB, but MariaDB has often left me quite a bit more confused (on performance, but also other topics).
My old Mackie 1604vlz didn’t cost nearly that sort of coin. True it wasn’t neve or ua… but it had very quiet and clear pre amps and more than enough channels and routing. For $350 used in the early 2000s.
When the "victim" was planning to grab free money at the expanse of the next guy in the ponzi scheme, I think it's fair enough to blame them.
> I don't even know how we got here.

From my perspective 2007 just destroyed the market. So many troubled assets and loose government money and no one putting any effort into helping the average citizen. A giant wealth and land transfer occurred. The second largest in recent memory.

> I think we need a wealth tax on people who own more than 2 properties.

All you will do is create a "straw purchase" market for homes.

> Start making landlording infeasible and get people to instead invest their capital in productive assets.

Temporary housing is a useful thing, though.
Actually it's pretty straightforward - as with current guidelines for other form of accessibility.

Doesn't mean there won't be badly crafted guidelines, abuse (especially via litigation), etc. As with everything.

But the basic concept is sound, and very straightforward.
> I work a normal 8-hour day

I'm "around on Teams/Slack" for ~7 hours a day but I 100% have not worked 8 hours a day in years. Am I the only one? Am I the minority? Am I the majority?

If I go to 60 minutes of meetings a day, it's a lot.

If I write 80 lines of code, it's a lot.

If I research 1-2 production issues, it's a lot.

If I write 20 Teams messages/3 e-mails, it's a lot.
