Does nobody use Hubitat any more?

I'm still using it. Upgraded from the C5 to the C7 a few months ago. I use almost entirely Z-wave devices, and the HomeKit integration built into Hubitat makes it easy to manage them all like native HomeKit devices.

Managing probably any Z-wave mesh isn't something I'd recommend for a non-techie, but it doesn't generally requires consistent maintenance. And with Hubitat, it's a small standalone box that does OTA updates.

For me it fills a pretty big gray area between mass market consumer ecosystems and Home Assistant.
Sure, but all those local, interesting stories are far better told on the web than on TV, which is the real problem - people under 50 think of TV as a place for entertainment, not information.
HN has effectively been taken over by a bunch of middle aged losers desperate to realize some sci fi dreams they had as children. You can also see it in both the ridiculous yet arrogantly confident predictions of AI utopias or dystopias that are basically just something they ripped out of a book or movie.
Bitso out of Mexico/Brazil is about as serious as any company can be IMHO.

You were simply wrong. Why not just admit that?
There's zero possibility for tech to fix the main step of fraud in money, which is social engineering. Being unable to fix a mistaken transaction is not a feature.

I understand your perspective, but it's important to clarify this is the nature of news reporting. News outlets aim to provide factual information and present events as they unfold. While there is room for creativity in certain types of content, news reporting primarily focuses on delivering accurate and unbiased information.

In this context, it's crucial to differentiate between news reporting and creative storytelling. News channels often cover the same story, but they strive to present it from their own unique angles and perspectives while maintaining the factual integrity of the information.

Our purpose is to generate accurate and unbiased information. While we can't alter the facts or introduce fictional elements, we can help present the information in a clear and understandable manner.

Dead Internet Theory is an interesting concept, but it is unrelated to the nature of news reporting or the role of AI in generating content. It's important to recognize the value of accurate and timely information dissemination, which our news outlet strive to achieve using AI technologies.
I think that sometimes less is more when it comes to messaging or arguments because opponents will use your weakest argument against you. e-waste might sound like a liberal (environmental) issue to some where money is universal.
Sounds like an infomercial.
I fell in love with philosophy during a class where the textbook was "Gödel, Escher, Bach." The book explores the interconnectedness of mathematics, art, and music, and delves into consciousness, self-reference, and complexity. It introduced me to Gödel's theorems, Escher's illusions, and Bach's compositions. This sparked a deep passion for philosophical inquiry, leading me to further explore the mysteries of existence.

> But that ignores the entirely different chip design T6500 which was assumed to be for the new Mac Pro.

The thing about leaks is that they aren't confirmed and might, literally, not exist. In which case, you might be upset at Apple for not releasing a chip that they literally never made. Anyone can make up a fake chip number, create a Chinese account, and make a fake leak for clicks or the lulz, or reach out to a legitimate leaker and mislead them.

But let's say it did exist. You are assuming that it can be mass-produced, even in small quantities, without immense waste or excessive resources, or at a R&D cost or tooling cost so large that it will never break even. Some things are just experiments.
how does this compare to scale or surge’s offerings?
GitHub = MS, OpenAI = MS, so by transitivity OpenAI = GitHub (where = means "controlling or related interest").

I agree that the particular wording is not sufficient to specify much of anything, but does it sure doesn't shut the door on the possibility either.
One thing I noticed, which always felt possibly-illegal, was how Binance and other exchanges would frequently freeze up funds that didn't meet minimum withdraws. If a coin fell to too-low of a price, they'd essentially just keep them. Sure, it is only $5-100 here and there, but that all adds up. Where does it go?

With a real bank or exchange, I'd expect some ability to sweep up my accounts and get a paper check for 50 cents if needed.

Doesn't matter. You either wait until donut is eaten by others or you don't. Caller is deciding if it's "synchronous" (blocking) action or not.

The question is how you translate mental models from real world to the code, and async/await fails here spectacularly. It's just weirdly unnatural thinking about sequencial processes. It requires tremendous amount of cognitive gymnastics just to reason about simple things.

> For example, M2 Ultra can train massive machine learning workloads in a single system that the most powerful discrete GPU can’t even process.

It's interesting to see that Apple is explicitly targeting the M2 Ultra as an alternative to GPUs for machine learning.

I think it is great for consumers for Nvidia to have a competitor in this space. If you wanted to do ML, you really didn't have much of an option other than Nvidia, which allowed Nvidia to do things like disable certain features in consumer GPUs even though the hardware was capable and limit RAM. Having Apple as a competitor in the consumer space will force them to up their game.

Here's the model from coal "company towns" in the late 1800s/early 1900s: build town close to mine claim, far from any other town. Build company store in town. Fill it with necessities with huge markups. Offer credit for store items to employees. On payday (monthly), all credit owed to company store is taken from wages before you are given a paycheck. BTW, employees don't get paid an hourly rate. They get paid by how much coal they mine, and the company used fake weights when measuring how much coal you loaded each day to make it look like you loaded less than you did.

That's the whole scenario behind the song "Sixteen Tons". "Load sixteen tons, and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt. St. Peter don't you call me, 'cause I can't go. I owe my life to the company store."
That was after the company collapsed.
Let's ask Infoseek about that.

Congrats to Apple on completing another IA migration! It really is an incredible accomplishment to get such a massive base of customers, partners, and developers to run on a new architecture so quickly and relatively seamlessly. I remember the PPC to Intel move, which was also well done, and they'd improved even on that ... with what must be many many more users. Awesome!

P.S. Hopefully this transition frees someone to make a Pro Display with a webcam!
I’m talking groceries, not eating out. Eating out in cities has high costs due to high cost of living in cities. Average wage of a waiter or waitress in the whole of New York State is $23/hour (including tips), vs about $8-10/hour in Spain/Barcelona. So no doubt you’d have a cheaper experience eating out in Europe, the wages are much lower! And this is also why it’s bad to use eating out as a benchmark, because it’s dominated by labor costs and by its very nature (and sociocultural expectations), it’s labor-intensive. So as overall wages increase, so will the price of eating out. So Americans, with our much higher average wages, are able to get a much better deal eating out in European nations with their lower labor costs.

But actual food (grocery) prices tend to be overall higher in Europe than the US. Milk (easier to compare than most things) costs $1.03/liter in the US compared to $1.14/liter in France, $1.35 in Italy, $0.96/liter in Spain, $1.28 in the UK, and $1.85 in Norway. https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_price_rankings...

They have a silicon interposer to connect two dies. That’s a really cool way to effectively make a chip twice as big. Is this a new technique ?
Obviously they didn't think so - whereas hobbyists can do so too and have no risks to worry about.
You really haven't thought this through now have you. I think the old engineering adage applies: "Don't remove something until you understand exactly what it does and why it does it"
The problem with that statement is you have to in a very small time period pick enough corners to find what they know and not the many parts you think are not esoteric but are unused by many people.

What isn't esoteric? Shared pointers, move semantics, atomics, inline assembler, CRTP...

If you quiz someone on your particular known C++ language details you can far too easily think everyone is pretending.
My wife is a school administrator and every year I run a little self-written pipeline for her to munge the local authority's XML admissions data into an Xlsx that the staff can use for planning home visits, class allocation etc. Excel (well strictly speaking it's loaded into Google sheets) really is the only game in town for this kind of thing, but even at this very low level there are many fraught footguns necessitating extremely careful handling. Anyone running an election or an economy off this thing needs their head examined.
I was thinking of less strain on the back from carrying it around every day.
A pi case is $3 plus shipping.

If my goal was attaching several terabytes I'd be even less inclined to spend $120 rather than $40 on the computer, but for living room/desktop use case half a terabyte is plenty and only costs $30. So that's $150 vs. $70 total.
one can only dream of such acclaim... :')
I agree things have become far more contentious since 2020. Trump's campaign used that controversy to fund-raise for "legal defense" but the small print in his campaign emails I received also said the funds could be used to pay down his campaign debts.

If you haven't read the Michigan Senate report (result of an 8-month bipartisan investigation chaired by a Trump Republican), please do. It cleared the air and answered tons of questions for me, seeing the evidence they found and realizing that there are simple, understandable reasons explaining what happened and also explaining the ruckus that resulted from so many people crying fraud but being unwilling to take time themselves to investigate the facts of the matter.
An example:

GPT4 at release still had issues with "What is heavier, a pound of feathers or two pounds of bricks." It would very consistently claim that they were equal in weight because usually the question is posed with the weights being equal.

Are you off by one order of magnitude? Or does this cost as much as a couple quite nice cars.
New-to-you only, until the beatings cease.
No, they can't. Or at least, they don't. I see the same trash-fire sites on Google all the time. Google just DGAF.
Tangential: back in the day, installing a modchip in the original Xbox to boot Linux was a nice way to get a cheap Linux box. 64MB RAM were a bit tight when 256MB were pretty much the norm, but otherwise the machine was quite powerful for its price.
I expect the same thing in the US with different immigrants.
I wonder how much of the mainboard is essentially blank? (Just a plane or essentially traceless) With unified memory, that certainly simplifies the “desktop” format considerably.
Don't be silly, have you even thought of the stakeholders?
> They did eventually release a new version of the 360 that doesn't RROD, which I eventually bought (realistically MS should have given these out to customers who experienced RRODs for free, but of course they had to scam kids out of whatever little money they had).

They did? They had a very generous policy where you were covered for three years after purchase, in which time they would repair or replace the hardware free of charge. If you RRoD'd in the later span of that, you would almost definitely have received an improved model (rather than them bothering to repair yours).
Yes. Lots. It moves slowly (read: stable) and reliably.

It doesn't have the toxicity of rust nor the constant changes of JS. It doesn't claim to make the world a better place either. It just does what it does well and leaves it at that.
> The definition of "security" is pretty objective (Howey test), but the answer it produces tends not to be liked by people in the crypto space, so they argue hard about why it's not a definition of security.

This. The Howey test really is clear. If there's an issuer behind a crypto asset, it's a common enterprise for Howey Test purposes. Bitcoin has no issuer at this point. Etherium, maybe. Just about everything else in crypto has an issuer raking off the profits.
Not really relevant to this model, since this generation of MBAs are not particularly thin.
> The Freedom To Innovate

I'm not sure that innovation in finance has always been a good thing. Over the last 50 years we've seen increased levels of debt, increased college costs, increased housing prices, a bigger and more powerful rentier class, growing income inequality, leveraged buyouts, big business eliminating small businesses, hedge funds buying housing and hospitals, big tech buying up the competition, profit is the name of the game, all of these rich people buying politicians, etc. Who came out ahead after all this?

Much of the applied innovation in crypto hasn't been good, either. Block chain is an amazing technology, but the innovators in this space didn't stop at a decentralized money transfer system, they wanted to get rich and they scammed people.

So what kind of innovation are we talking about? Who would be helped?

A small aside on this topic: I assume/hope that the new FedNow payment system coming online in a month or so will help with transfers like this.

Possibly more so now than 2 years ago.

M1 was faster, but now seeing more numbers show just how much faster/productive/etc, it's probably the push people who were on the fence for the last couple years need. Start budgeting now for the next fiscal year, etc.
We've been discussing this as well, the Virtual Production production value is incredible, are they also standing on a stage outside, and this is all being composited live, with foreground passes, etc. without green screen?
Nice of the Russians to support the "Western psyop"

Yes, but unironically. Decisions Were Made after the US and UK attacked (via Ukraine but fooling nobody) sites of Russia’s strategic nuclear forces at the beginning of December last year.[0][1] They got an immediate answer[2], and a couple more such messages later on, but what the Russians would have realized then (if not earlier) is that you most likely cannot reason with the ruling elites of the dying empire and its rabid little attack Beagle. Let’s hope they find a way still.

It should be noted the Howey test applies to one type of security: investment contracts. There are other types of securities that the Howey test doesnt apply to.

The moderators recognize it's inevitable and wanted to find a way to helpfully integrate AI.

I don't know what kind of work you do, but in some ways it is a niche market. It's a professional workstation that is usually meant for compute intensive tasks like scientific computing, 3d rendering and animation, etc. It's certainly overkill for most software engineers, for example.
Why did it take a Hacker News thread for you to actually do something useful about this? If this is the first time you're hearing about that it's a pretty severe failure of multiple layers of your customer service procedures. I certainly wouldn't recommend you guys versus other processors I've used at work who would actually do something about this when calling or emailing through the usual channels. This is a very "Google" way of handling things to have to Tweet or post on HN to get any kind of real support and it's very concerning.
>>> So it looked like a bad idea to most people. But to few, it seemed obvious. Should they try it, or should they project their thoughts onto others and pass because if it's obvious, no point doing it?

If I understand the advice correctly, then it's clearly the former: if they find it obvious, but they know that others don't, then that's a strong signal that it might be a good idea because this combination is a rare characteristic that good ideas need to have.
>5 is reserved for absolute perfection.

To me, 5 out of 5 has always meant "in the top 5th". It makes sense to me that each number covers the same amount of ground on the scale. I get the psychology behind reserving the highest number for only the best of the best, but I can't think like that.

Regardless, I agree that it's ridiculous that we have a system where anything less than 5 out of 5 is somehow an indication of a problem so serious that the recipient feels justified in contacting me about it. That's an insane system.
Well, the previous Pro came out in 2019 (and the model before that 2013). Every four years is not unreasonable.

So, I have relevant knowledge in the credit card fraud prevention industry, and Stripe looks so weird to me. What are you paying for? If Stripe isn't taking on the liability for incorrect scores, they could literally just be returning mostly random results and you would be no better or worse off. If you have to implement rules on top of their system, you are doing their job for them.

Is there really nobody you can pay to do the credit card derisking for you?

Unfortunately. Going hiking with dogs hurts the delicate wildlife. Wild animals as well as free-roaming farm animals are very stressed out by the pure presence of these dogs, let alone by being chased. Especially near larger cities this puts enormous stress on those animals. Turns out, you can't have it both ways, being an animal lover and being a dog lover...
I think this new Mac Pro is more geared for PCIe developers so they can start testing drivers etc and the big launch will be with the M3.
