I don't know what that poster was talking about either. Even if CA were to outlaw lumber milling in the north of the state, the rest of the PNW produces enough for the continent already. There's plenty of wood in the deep blue queer tree-hugging west coast. The USA is a huge exporter of the crop, actually.

Reddit is requiring Disabled to use an app developed at the LOWEST COST - this is clear discrimination, in the legal sense.

It may not be illegal, but legally they are "discriminating", based upon the legal usage of that word.

I can answer to my own reasoning. I have MacBook, iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch.

- MacBook is my workhorse for work. When it retire this device will be the first to go.
- IPad Pro used for all manner of media and content consumption, mainly personal use and because it’s cellular enabled and portable enough it tends to go with me when I need to do work in a “device light” manner. This device of all would be my favorite piece of tech I have used in a near 40 year career in tech.
- IPhone is my phone, main audio player, occasionally used for browsing content consumption in a pinch.
- Apple Watch is probably the one I could live without the easiest, but it’s handy for health tracking, paying, and this may sound ridiculous…but the biggest value I get from it is walking up to my MacBook and not having to log in or type in a password.

It would be helpful to see some Colab notebook examples of how I could use this or incorporate my own codebase with these open source coding models.

The examples show some smaller interesting prediction task & translation between csharp and java, but probably easier to try it out in Colab than having to install locally.

I would also want to be able to compare Github Copilot's autocomplete with what CodeT5 would return as a prediction.
I would throw out all obscure languages and useless symbols.

One character = one code point.

I would use 32 bits for a code point. The lower 16 bits would be code; the upper 16 bits contain some flags and fields for classification. This would allow simple bit operations to inquire about important properties. There would be a 4-bit flexible type code, leaving 12 bits, some of which would have a code-specific meaning, others fixed. Or something like that.

The goal would be to have a code that programs can work with, without requiring megabytes and megabytes of meta-data about the code.
Actually you can get NVidia's top consumer GPU today, the RTX 4090, for $1500-1600. Go back one generation and you can get a RTX 3090 for $750 which still packs a punch.

So it's quite possible to build a well-performing gaming PC for sub-$2000 with RTX 3090 which is still significantly more performant than Apple's latest Mac, in terms of GPU throughput.

I snapped myself a gaming PC for $1300 at last year's Thanksgiving sales, came with a AMD Ryzen, RTX 3080 (10 GB VRAM model) and 32 GB DDR4 RAM, no way I could have gotten a Mac with that performance for anything close in terms of price.

There are many FAANG customers who care about link time; some of them are also FAANGs, but certainly not all. You're falling into the libertarian trap of thinking that because it didn't happen in your experience, it could not possibly happen to anyone.

Well, they seem to be cognizant of that, but they have a point: compared to simply creating a folder, it is QUITE a lot more effort. It's like the difference between zero and one.

That having been said, I think my bigger issue with this is that this actually gets to be annoying after you do it, not just while doing it. Go manages external dependencies on the module level, which is a level higher than packages. For Rust, it's crates. So a repo with many crates becomes pretty cumbersome. (And a bit moreso if you're trying to maintain a Nix package for said repo, but that's partly the fault of Nix. Only partly, because I actually think Rust's toolchain makes the job of Nix rather difficult...)

Show HN: Separate Business and Personal Expenses
We've built a simple app for freelancers who use their bank accounts for both personal and business stuff.

It's a simple website/mobile PWA expense/income tracker where you can review each transaction and mark it as personal or business.

You can also export each of those in a CSV format for example when you're filing a tax return.

Each expense can be assigned a IRS-standard category for easier deductions claim.

Air quality monitors: paying more does not get you more accuracy
Well using the aws cli is locking you in to AWS, isn't it? And at least from my experience those "just 50 lines of shell" can get very messy overtime. Eventually, if you add more features (pretty much every project gets more features over time), you will refactor once or twice and end up rewriting it in Python, make it more declarative because it's easier to test and tada, you just reinvented Ansible yourself. I think this question is legit.
> aren't already paying $99/year to release apps?

I'd see Apple ID switching as a use case. You may want to use a different ID for a project (potentially share that ID if you don't want to manage an org for a hobby project), but not pay 99 on every single IDs you use.

Of course Apple would be vehemently against that use case and typically wants you to tatoo your Apple ID to your soul and never log out from it.
Although it's not a very thoughtful article and manages to ignore the sheer number of people that today use the internet compared to even 10 years ago, I can myself relate to what's said. Old days internet was about communities and businesses ran by people with their own interests and products and servers, now it's tech giants and their networks ran by algorithms trying to milk and eat and replace those communities and businesses. I myself stopped using social networks and all of sudden I have nowhere else to interact. Sad.

Making Cargo.toml is annoying enough especially if we're factoring things out from an existing crate to a separate one: obviously we'll need to specify all the deps that the code is already using, and also possibly remove some deps from the old crate's Cargo.toml, and it can take a good chunk of time just to put it together. I mean it's nothing that we can't deal with, but it does slow things down for no good reason.

> ocean phytoplankton processing most of the air we breath.

This is not true.

Ocean photosynthesis produces about 50% of the oxygen in the atmosphere, but ocean respiration also consumes about the same amount. The oceans are about oxygen neutral. Same goes for the other 50%, but in land ecosystems.

> The Ukrainian civil war between the Eastern Ukrainians supported by Russia, and the Western Ukrainians supported by the West/NATO, eventually became the Russian invasion of Ukraine around Feb 2022 after talks broke down about Ukraine's membership in NATO which Russia opposed.

If the Russians only supported and didn’t fight themselves why were Russian FSB and GRU officers setup as heads of the new areas?. Why didn’t Ukrainians from those areas get appointed instead?.

Who keeps anything important on a computer?
From my DARPA Grand Challenge days, a few comments:

You want a high-resolution LIDAR. The trouble is, they cost too much. That's due to the low volume, not the technology. A few years back, there were several LIDAR startups using various approaches. There were the rotating machinery guys, the flash LIDAR guys, the MEMS mirror guys, and some exotics. I was expecting the flash LIDAR guys to win out, because that approach has no moving parts. Continental, the big auto parts company, acquired Advanced Scientific Concepts, a LIDAR startup, and demoed a nice little unit. But nobody wanted enough of them to justify setting up full scale manufacturing. ASC sells some space-qualified units, and the Dragon spacecraft uses them for docking. Works fine, costs too much.

Another of the startups, Luminar, made its founder a billionaire without the company having shipped much product. "Luminar has not generated positive cash flows from operating activities and has an accumulated deficit of $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2022." - Wikipedia. They've announced many partnerships and have been at this since 2012, but you still can't order a LIDAR from their web site.

Velodyne makes those spinning things Waymo uses. They had the first automotive LIDAR, a big car-top spinning wheel, at the DARPA Grand Challenge. It fell off the vehicle. The technology has improved since, but it's still expensive. Velodyne just merged with Ouster, which sold similar spinners.
Ouster's web site has a "Order Now" button, but it leads to an email onboarding form, not a price list.

Many of these things need custom indium gallium arsenide detector chips, which would be far cheaper if the market was 100,000 a month instead of 100 a month. This technology hasn't scaled up in volume yet. That's one thing holding this back.

If you want coverage over a full circle, you either need one of those silly looking domes on top of the car roof, or multiple units, each with a narrower field of vision. Waymo has both. Works fine, costs too much.

On the radar side, there's been improvement in both processing and resolution. Not as much as expected over 20 years. Automotive radar has moved up from 24 GhZ to 77 GhZ, so resolution can now potentially be sub-centimeter. True millimeter radar (300GhZ and up) has been demoed [1] but not deployed beyond lab systems. Once you get up there, it's almost as good as LIDAR. Humans show up in detail. That's going to be a useful technology once it gets into commercial products.

So the sensor situation is pretty good, but expensive because it can't mooch off some other high volume technology such as cell phones.

I don't understand this. Why is it that we pay for the computer, storage, cloud services, etc. for a hobby but a $99 fee is somehow terrible? People spend thousands of dollars on all kinds of hobbies. Even if you get someone else to pay for the computer etc., a $99 dollar hobby is ridiculously cheap.
We have known since time immemorial that attractive people, men and women, have a slight leg up in life.

Not sure what your point is here?

We're talking about the fact that Reddit's API prices are going to be extremely high going forward. Your response was a dismissive "just charge 9 dollars". Obviously that is going to cause a lot of pain for all third party developers, which is the whole reason why everyone is complaining about this.
There are keys for locks (Schlüssel*) and keys on keyboards (Tasten*). Guess which word VMWare uses for its special keys menu in the *German translation. :-)
A bit of an exaggeration. There's more noise for sure, but you can get a lot more done on the internet now than you ever could before, with more new and useful things emerging all the time. And even if there are issues it's just a clear money making opportunity by improving them.
I should have said eyes+brain in combination have much better dynamic range and FPS perception than self driving systems. Point remains unchanged -- what sensor you use is tied to the computation you need to do. What you see is the sum of computation+sensor so it's impossible for sensor not to matter.

Tangential: event cameras work more like our eyes but aren't ready for AVs yet.

> vowels are still the most common letters in most Latin-alphabet based languages.

Also "s" "t" and "n" are fairly-to-very common in damn near every language (Latin-alphabet or otherwise) due to how phonetics works. (They're the default-voiced-ness for each manner of articulation at the most-default-ish - alveolar - place of articulation for consonant phonemes.) The other two - "h" and "d" - are less universal, but still better than "j" and "g".

I think the original goal, and one I still support, is for websites to realize that they are better off with not showing the banners and just defaulting to "no". It's been surprising to me that an industry that has been somewhat obsessed with click latencies and getting users to content quickly are willing to annoy all their users for the extra income from personalized ads. The difference in value must be a lot.
Why does it work better?

I see that in the test he compares four filters being used completely in the cube setup to three being used incompletely on a box fan. But that doesn't seem like it can be the entire explanation -- particularly given the reduced airflow of the duct fan.
It is likely meant to help secure further research funds.
The web is not the internet. The web itself is mostly a dangerous wasteland (and getting worse) these days, but the internet still has value.

Yes! I was going to post PurpleAir for all you east coast wildfire newbies. It has been an essential resource in CA for the last few years.

I recommend limiting time outside as much as possible when the levels are high, like over 100. You might not notice it at first, but over time it can start to make you feel pretty bad--coughing, itchy eyes, fatigue, etc. Especially avoid doing any kind of vigorous exercise like running or cycling that makes you breathe hard. I learned that the hard way.

Also, if it's anything like smoke season in CA, air filters are probably back-ordered and sold out at stores, but I recommend getting at least one so you have it for next time. They are so worth the cost. We have one for each room in our home, but we have a young child so we go a bit overboard.
Precocity Paradox
The author desires a simple folder based module system and argues how it would improve compilation times. I do agree although it would be nice to know what flexibility would be lost so the argument could have some weight on the other side.

On a tangent I recall struggling with cargo features in the beginning. I found them to be hidden and mysterious. Even searching for “rust features” sucks.
The only problem is that instead of re-circulating and filtering conditioned air, a furnace fan is going to bring in external unconditioned air (and is only filtered once).
This assertion: Self driving isn't a sensor problem, its a software problem. is hard to support today. Your human vision analogy leaves out a lot of both sensor and processing differences between what we call machine vision and human vision.

Even if parity with human vision can be attained, humans kill 42,000 other American humans each year on the roads. If human driven cars were invented today, and pitched as killing only 42,000 people per year, the inventor would get thrown into a special prison for supervillains.
I'd like to see it as there is no fee if your app is available for free (completely free - no subscriptions, no credits, no paying on a third party website, etc.), but, if you want to charge money, then you have to pay the $99 fee.
Yep, you presumably need to animate a hand/gun/etc. moving on-screen. So maybe it would lag eye movements by a bit.
I’m confused by this comment. I follow the asahi Linux developments here on hn and read the comments. In this thread alone there are several high rated posts to the effect of “this project rocks!!”

The only reference I can find to trans- anything is basically this comment. Quite honestly, I recommend a thicker skin. Some people will be assholes, whether you’re trans, straight, bi, whatever. Pretending that assholes don’t exist will just make you angry… you can’t just wish away the assholes but you can ignore them and prove them wrong by being awesome (which in this case the asahi linux developers work speaks for itself!)

> Did you buy a new keyboard?

No, i just printed out the new layout and stuck it near the monitor. Eventually I moved to blank keycaps.

> easy to set up on an iPhone?

Why would I care about that? Phones are for thumbs, and thumbs have their own muscle memory. Besides, the strength of layouts like Colemak is typically in leveraging the home-row, which is really not a thing on phones, so there is no point. It would make more sense to investigate those fancy swipey versions (or make new layouts that leverage "home columns"?).

Lee Sedol retired in 2019 following his 2016 defeat by Alpha Go in a 5 round match. At the start of the match most people were confident an AI could never defeat a top human player at Go. By the end of the match, watching (arguable) world champ Sedol suffer lost game after lost game the story had changed dramatically. Sedol fans were championing his single win against the unstoppable AI.
