Same. Two (maybe even three, I can't remember) streams and used to experience lots of arguing about who is watching what and who can't access, but I haven't heard those fights in quite some time. Particularly annoying when one of the kids would leave a device playing and autoplay just rattles on for a few hours. I'm actually pondering right now whether there's a trivial "wife approval factor" friendly dashboard to theow together to monitor and record router flow to display simple monthly household consumption patterns. Heck go a step further plug in monthly fees into the dashboard and see which services are a waste of spacetime. It could become one of those lmlicense manager BOFH.

It's particularly annoying because I personally find myself watching PlutoTV most lately (so much easier to just turn on something themed channels like Star Trek/MSTK3K/Stargate or Action/Comedy Movies and just watch what's streaming rather than browse around). And it's even more annoying to see that PlutoTV is playing many of the same movies you're paying for on other services.

More relevantly, there's no reason they couldn't do the same before HTTP/3. Even with DNS traffic hijacking, they could just as well do DNS-over-TLS. Infiltrating advertising-related DNS is completely orthogonal to HTTP/3; agreed that the gp comment is FUD.

Not illegal to posses it explicitly, but illegal when accused of it being encrypted information and you can't magically make it not-random
>If I'm abusing substances it's not like I'm just having a puff now and then do I?

we can agree on that, but the phrase has been bandied around in the legal/law-enforcement community enough that it's clear that the definition is generally : if it's illegal, it's always abuse. If it's legal it's only abuse if Uncle Bob is nodding off at x-mas dinner and stumbling into the tree.

There seems to be a strong inclination to 'help' the people that are generally a nuisance to other people -- which is to say that the 'help' provided is a way to keep the social status quo for others, not to provide the 'substance abuse victim' with support.

NZD50k per side including sound processors. NZD86k-ish if done bilaterally at the same time.

Sound processors are around NZD7-8k a pop and have an expected replacement cycle of 5-7 years.
Not the GP but edge devices on wifi/m2m are another scenario where you're very sensitive to deployment size.

Which can also be solved with compression at various other stages of the pipeline as mentioned by other commenters, but just to say that that's an easy case where this matters.
I didn't know there was a semi-common term coined for this process that seems pervasive. I'm fully adopting it.
Had the same thought. Could do with more shallow dives to be honest.
Hopefully it stays at least a France away.

Great posts thanks
Yeah, but they've been doing so for millions of years without any measurable effect upon global climate.
Yep, that's my main motivator. Recently my country started getting cozy in bed with copyright enforcers that have very nervous fingers on the trigger. It's only a matter of short time before I need a VPN or even Tor to do something as innocent as reading a science paper.

I wish them luck chasing after their citizens connecting to local websites from Kazakhstan or Chile etc., heh.
That performance impact is worth millions of dollars in improved conversions.

What? What is your source on this? How does the protocol stop you from using e.g. uBlock to filter the domains at the application level?
>Much more troubling: Few people worldwide have the attention span and stamina to read a text of the length off an academic paper and engage its contents.

You don't need to read academic papers to know that Russia = evil. Eastern Europe has been parroting this for decades but Germany stuck its fingers in its ears and went "la-la-la-la, I can't hear you over the sound of my cheap gas brokered by our lord and savior, Gerhard Schröder, who's on the Kremlin's payroll".

Even after Russia's invasion of Chechnya in 1994 and 1999, and Russia's invasion of Georgia in 2008, and Russia's invasion of Crimea in 2014, nobody could have seen Russia invading another neighboring country again in 2022, it was a total shock for European politicians. /s
Arguably Rust is great for small/single owner companies as well. It saves vast amounts of time in comparison to c/c++
On the other hand, the article contains information about things you are likely to need. This is the exact article I would want to present to someone new to the language. It isn't recommending every tool in existence (well, until you reach the very end) -- it's simply giving information about what you'll almost certainly need to know
why's that a car problem? Give everyone $20 and they can buy a radio with batteries.
I've also used ROS a lot (but not in the last 2 years), and +1 your comment. The main gripe with ROS is poor documentation, and people's over-reliance on coding in the simulator. Not the architecture. The biggest challenge IMO is actyally getting the perception, world modeling, decision making work reliably in the real world, and this is where AI should provide a big boost.

Shutterstock and Getty are both well positioned to sell pre-trained (on their own data, natch) generative models to customers, who can then fine-tune with their own datasets. I think the market for "pretrained models with guaranteed no IP issues" is going to be lucrative. Maybe not enough digits to excite VCs, but more than enough to make up for a decrease in demand for stock images.
> Apple will be making the iPhones and Macs and that's about it. They're too conservative to get out of their comfort zone now.

Why would Apple even pursue LLMs? They are building hardware: computers, phones, screens, accessories. In a sense, that’s what you said. Just phrasing a question to your thought.
Ask HN: Do long-lived homogeneous projects in Python exist?
A friend of mine is looking for a job (he's currently a Scala eng) and he asked me if it made sense to switch to Python.
Do you think the future of software development lies in further embracing heterogeneity (integrating diverse technologies like JVM, Rust, Go, Python, etc), or should we aim for more homogeneous environments for the sake of simplicity and coherence?
In the light of recent ML/AI/LLM developments it seems to me that projects in that domain if written entirely in Python are a piece of cake. Does anyone do it at scale?
In the aggregate, it is in fact replacing programmers; just not all of them.
Cameras, my friend. It's going to have to be much more discrete.

Also, they're way ahead of us. They've got those monitors and speakers covered with thick plastic.
Sure it does, there are definitely exceptions and Angry Birds is among them. And your example is probably from a while back, since you can disable tracking on iOS from 2019 or so.

I intentionally find products where I can pay. I like YouTube, and I gladly pay for it to not see ads. It's a simple transaction, they provide a service - I pay for it. Sure, you can complain about sponsored content and other crap, but overall YouTube premium experience is great. Whenever I want something to play on my phone - I find a cheap game and just spend 2-5 dollars. In some of the free games, I intentionally spend money on cosmetics to support developers. Without this relationship, you are just a non-paying user who brings no value, and you have misaligned incentives with the app developers.

So I don't understand the mental gymnastics of well paid people (given the audience of hackernews) for why they don't want to pay a few dollars. This way you would support people who provide value to you and dictate how the industry should evolve. Instead, we have a Guac-A-Mole game with advertisers and complain every other day on forums.
The first time I ever experienced lane assist in a car was in a borrowed Honda Accord. Any time I drifted towards the lane line without signalling, an alarm would go off. This doesn't mean the Accord is hard to drive. It's not even hard to learn to drive. I already knew I was supposed to signal before making a lane change. It just made me concerned about how often I must have drifted over lines in other cars without lane assist. "I'm a great driver. I've driven fine for decades without lane assist. I don't need lane assist." I added lane assist to the list of features I wanted in my next car. You know, for my kid's sake (glances left and right).

I felt a lot like that with Rust.
We must know the same people.

I’m sorry, you’re just wrong. While share price generally correlated to the market investors view of future value there’s no direct relationship between equity valuation and corporate performance in any way whatsoever, other than the ability to raise additional capital. Once the equity has been sold in the primary issuance it’s only relationship to the corporation is an ownership claim and a weak claim on assets.
They probably live with or around other people who have smartphones. The people without smartphones tend to be either really young children living with parents or really old living in nursing homes.
I still think it’s a very cultural thing, since even 0.01% per year would be a huge number for your child to be in a school shooting. Maybe it’s an “outsider perspective”, but school shootings is not even a talking point in most of the places outside of US, thus anything that’s above 0.001% is a lot.
This is evolving slowly but surely - take a look at ISO20022 [1] and its adoption by SEPA network [2] in Europe (more slowly - adoption by most other banks throughout the world).

ISO isn't perfect but most things are just a minor XML adjustment, and the schema is well structured.

Europe/SEPA has free non-urgent transfers up to a certain amount. [3]

How do you increase adoption for this except to get involved politically and lobby? Unless you plan on rolling your own - in which case good luck.

Came here to say this.

I'm a small real estate owner (alongside running a tech co). I spent about 90 minutes yesterday reviewing an agency agreement giving a brokerage the exclusive right to market one of my units (commercial) for lease.

Even in such a "simple" contract, I demanded many changes. They wanted the exclusive right to represent us in case the building was sold - I took that out. They wanted a flat 5% commission for the length of the lease - I changed that to only the first seven years. They wanted indemnity, and to be reimbursed for expenses, and many other things I just wasn't going to do.

It was the same thing with a lease earlier this year. We argued for months over the terms - how much rent, who was responsible for HVAC (me as owner, for replacing one unit, the tenant for ordinary repair and maintenance), late charges, whether or not we were doing ACH (my preference) or paper checks, whether or not a renewal option was included (I took that out), and a bunch of junk their lawyer wanted that I mostly managed to keep out.

Now, maybe there are some very basic agreements that can be relatively boilerplate, low-value things, or maybe it's valuable to start from some kind of common standard.

But in my experience, the whole concept of this product is flawed. It actually reminds me of something I built 5-6 years ago, a simple chat bot (called Interval) to handle scheduling for low-value items like tennis courts, or conference rooms. My view of scheduling was a practical problem, almost algorithmic, of making it easy to reserve something. What I didn't understand, was the huge amount of social context inherent in scheduling--who's important, who's friends with who, who's doing somebody a favor, who gets special treatment, and why.

There's a lot of social context there that means scheduling is going to stay in the human realm, for a LONG time, long, long after 50 more people try replacing it with an LLM.

This product feels the same. Every business contract is a complicated dance involving negotiating power, who needs who more, who cares more, what language stays in vs comes out, settling some kind of score (I did this for you last time, you owe me this time), and 100 other things.

There might some kind of low-value contracts that aren't customarily negotiated, or maybe real estate is a particularly negotiation-intensive field (very possible), but I have a very, very hard time seeing all of this getting "standardized" in the name of efficiency improvement. It just isn't going to happen.
Not every car that isn't black/white/gray is garish, and at least in the US, most people have unbelievably bad taste when it comes to vehicles.
We need to agree on a statute of limitations for these things.
Linux, FreeBSD and Apple OSX operating systems routinely break without warning older software. I've had the fewest breakages with Windows operating systems.

Just in the last few months, I had to buy a new iphone because Waze, Twitter, and my banking app simply ceased working on it. No warning, no nothing. Those apps upgraded themselves, and just stopped. No check for compatibility with an older iphone.

Bought a new iphone, transferred the apps over, and they magically started working again.
> Installing in this case means copying files to your web server.

In PHP land, once you have the web server set up with the basics, this is just such a nice easy way to deploy software. I actually run Kanboard on the same server as my WordPress blog and installed it simply by throwing the files into a directory.

The most complex thing you might need to do is add a new database somewhere but I find it so much less overhead than Docker or most other things.
I run all summer in the afternoon. Up to 106°F is fairly comfortable, 107°F feels tolerable, and >108°F is very difficult. It really does feel like it falls off that quickly.

However, I have done this for years. I sweat a lot more, and a lot more quickly, than I used to. There have definitely been both long-term and beginning-of-the-season acclimation periods, and it's a bit of an understatement to say that not everyone is interested in pursuing this. The result is major trailheads being closed in certain conditions due to tourists routinely collapsing, needing rescue, or sometimes passing away. This despite the fact that there are many of us locals who are fine within our limits (that we know and have learned to respect).

Those guys in the Quickielubes have a swamp cooler going at minimum, are acclimated, out of the sun, and are still uncomfortable. The landscapers are up at 5am and disappear as the temps climb. We'll be in the half that don't end up in the ED.
Yeah, I buy all of that. And English is not doing us any favors here, with the current/historical terms not really conveything "human induced societally disruptive extreme climate dynamism."

All the handwaving when talking about tipping points is awfully suspicious too, given that history.

I wouldn't say those are the three reasons though. Lots of comments seem to be from young people, and don't make it to the point of discussing Earth’s meteorological history.
The share price reflected the company’s state, but the share price didn’t induce the companies state. Debt and obligations were what brought down Lehman, not the stock price. (Well, not directly - if the stock had been worth a lot they could have raised capital… but just like their credit spreads blowing out, their stock price drop made capital raising impossible)
The novel "Ministry For The Future" by Kim Stanley Robinson starts out in a similar fashion, with 12 million people dying in a heat wave. It's a great read, albeit disturbingly plausible at times.

I suspect most of the worst climate impacts in the coming years will be from issues much like this, with an interplay of factors. We've built a society with many complex systems, and the assumptions those systems were built on (e.g intensity and duration of heat waves) will no longer be valid. I'm skeptical we'll be able to adapt such large-scale systems to the increasingly rapid changes induced by climate change.

P.S: At 100% humidity in shade with unlimited drinking water, a human will die in about 2 hours at 35°C (95°F). The combination of heat and humidity is called the heat index, and those temperatures had already been seen in Iran 3 years ago, when this paper was written: https://phys.org/news/2020-05-potentially-fatal-combinations...

Not OP, but Google do hard-code their DNS servers in other products (e.g. Chromecast), so they'll bypass your pi-hole. It is possible to intercept DNS traffic to 8.8.8.8 and redirect it to your own router, however. With DNS-over-HTTPS this is impossible short of installing custom SSL root certs on the device, which is close to impossible. But that's got nothing to do with QUIC or HTTP/3, but is effectively just enforcing signed DNS requests.

another area of research is many flashcarts are actually obfuscation around FPGA and integrated flash perhaps if there was more interest a design could be produced in the spirit of open-hardware sans Nintendo property.

Funny enough I always found the opposite, I find Renoise great for making short loops but putting them together into a full track to be a pain, and then visa-versa with Ableton and software like it.

The OP-1 is where I've found this to be especially the case, incredibly easy to make a loop on but never managed to make a full song on it, aside from using mutes/effects on a single loop to stretch it out into a full track

My 2 cents, as someone who has been mostly a hobbyist here.
(1) Find a buddy who is also interested in it. Things are a lot better if you have a friend.

(2) Then try to build something based on turtlebot or similar platform. Start with just something you can make roam around your house and do stuff.

(3) If you can afford to budget something like $5k+ to it overall, it will be a lot easier. I have seen people try to do everything on a shoestring and it makes things a lot harder. The reason is hardware is hard, and you can move a lot faster if you can just throw things at it. E.g. instead of getting 1 Rasberry Pi or Jetson, get 2-3. Get extra cameras, get 2 extra bases.

A buddy and I got a fully working robot roaming around the house doing basic stuff (chasing dogs, etc) in about 3 months, but we both would just show up with new parts. Having a 3d printer is helpful to make things looking good, but not necessary.
I've found myself running into sync-conflicts while editing my Obsidian Vault in a syncthing folder in the past. Did syncthing work flawlessly OOB in your experience?
Prohibition comes to mind. Not sure if the analogy works, but it does come to mind as something that I believe was a pretty inefficient ban where the impetus was likewise for the welfare of people.

Taxing liquor would have been a far better approach.
It's important to understand the limitations. The first being that the scenario falls outside of the range of data used to create the model. This is necessarily an extrapolation and like all extrapolations, subject to more critique than an interpolative prediction.

Next, from a methods perspective, while a single-value estimate is convenient, a distribution, in this scenario, would be much more useful to understand the range of possible deaths and their associated probabilities.

As for the rest of the author's own critiques, I'll lay them out here. One of the most important one is that the population's behavior and government responses are not taken into account. There is, of course, debate as to how much this affects the prediction.

> Our estimates do not account for individuals’ behavioral adaptations or the actions of first responders during such a severe heat crisis. In reality, if a blackout event was regionally localized, many individuals would be able to leave their homes and travel to cooler locations. We also do not account for potential governmental responses to a concurrent heat wave and blackout, such as evacuation of the most vulnerable to heat illness or the deployment of mobile power generators for cooling centers. Other important sources of uncertainty in our analysis include (1) the degree to which measures of relative risk based on outdoor temperatures are reflective of indoor heat exposures, (2) uncertainties in the precision of the ambient and indoor temperature models used for the study, (3) uncertainties in behaviors and locations of individuals throughout the day and hence their daily IETs, and (4) uncertainties in the exposure-response functions in the applied epidemiology studies (including the changing nature of population susceptibility with a period of prolonged heat exposure).
