Not sure what you're saying.

Are you suggesting that gates surpassing the fault tolerant threshold will never be achieved? The vast majority of experts disagree with this.

Without fault tolerance, you have a hard wall on circuit depth because errors grow exponentially with depth. You can't make up for this by adding any number of qubits. "Halving the noise floor" means...what, improving gate fidelity?
A 15 inch 4K for $70? I would love to see that, no matter the quality.
Almost none of that is true
Go to a developing country and see the share of PCs that are running Windows XP and you will realize that things aren't that simple. The majority of the world doesn't care about OS updates, and they are definitely not spending money on it. They simply want stuff to continue to work exactly as it did when they bought it. Mobile phones already get updated at a much higher rate than PCs. The vast majority of PCs in the world stay on the version that the manufacturer installed throughout their lifetime.

And say in your example Samsung does get its shit together and spends a ton of money to upgrade every phone in the world...that's still ~25-30% of the Android population. What about the rest?
It's across all areas of the industry. I had a coworker from a startup I worked in SF, let's call them "Eric W". I kept in touch with Eric W after leaving SF, and through a chunk of the pandemic. However, the pandemic turned them both selfish and paranoid (they really got hung up on my ethnicity and religion supposedly controlling all of finance and only bitcoin could save us). They would parade on Discord and Steam how "little work I did today" and "how many games I played during meetings" as he drained whatever startup he went to and from. Some folks are just proud slackers.

I'm glad I cut them out of my life.
I only pay them for domains, and they have my CC for Cloudflare Workers (but I've never paid them).

I ran into a few issues with their platform, once with R2 when it first rolled out, and a couple of times with domains, and once with caching not clearing.

I think I submitted my request through some form (this is a while ago, hazy) and someone always got back to me within 4 hours. I think they're supposed to get back at least 24-48 hours.

Mileage may vary, and this was a while ago, so maybe things have changed now.
"I don't understand why anyone ever uses AirBnB" is definitely a "tell me you don't have kids without telling me you don't have kids" kind of thing.
Everyone loves a boogieman. The reason rents are high are not because of short term rentals. They are high because of inflation and globalization.
And in 1983 they were down how much since 1943? (Or some close pre-war point if you want, I'm not cherry-picking.)
How do you manage one way sync? IE; deleting photos on your phone without affecting the other side?
The CTO's blog post is pretty half-assed: https://www.influxdata.com/blog/update-from-influxdata-paul-...

It's the same "we 'tried'" message they have here. Even worse, this wasn't a regulatory shut-down, this was a lack of demand decision. They had 100% control over the timing and means of the shut-down. They didn't even keep backups! They just deleted everything.

Some highlights from the blog. It reads like a "cover my ass" to the board, rather than fixing problems for customers.

* > Over the years, two of the regions did not get enough demand to justify the continuation of those regional services.

* In other words, they had no external pressure. They just shut this down entirely on their own accord.

* Immediately, blames customers for not seeing notifications. Explaining "how rigorous" their communication was.

* > via our community Slack channel, Support, and forums, we soon realized that our communication did not register with everyone

* In other words, "we didn't look at any metrics or usage data. How could we have possibly known people were still relying on this?"

* > Our engineering team is looking into whether they can restore the last 100 days of data for GCP Belgium. It appears at this time that for AWS Sydney users, the data is no longer available.

* That's literally unbelievable. They didn't even keep backups! They deleted those too! Even it the region is going down, I'd expect backups to be maintained for their SLA.

* Lastly, a waffling "what we could have done better" without any actual commitment to improvement. Insane.
That doesn't follow. Even if tourism stays flat, demand can shift from hotels to Airbnbs.
Planks huh? That’s interesting. Too easy to cheat on crunches I guess. Is the CFT still a thing? I remember when it was introduced in ‘06? or so.
I mean with everything copyright, it's complicated. If for example you create a work in the UK, it's automatically copyright in the UK. Because of international treaties, that copyright is honored in the US. But it's not a US copyright. It doesn't follow US copyright law for expiration for example.

I'm not a copyright lawyer, I've just looked into it before. This is my layman's understanding after talking to a lawyer.
> Then the interaction between space-time and the massive object end up pushing the object from the superposition state you tried to produce into a mixed state just like the space-time.

So we'd be evolving from a pure to a mixed state?
This is a good point. Of course anyone who thought the MSM, or print journalism, were in business to reveal the actual truth really needs to review their history. The worst part is that Julian (whether intentionally or not) probably made that sacrifice for nothing. At least here in the US most people don't know or care. That's a shame. And an embarrassment.
Sounds like Apple, right? You focus on product marketing, keep the decision-making close knit, and say "no" a lot. You can go a long time as an engineer there without ever talking to a product person.
Does Immich have a work-around for this that could be implemented in Mobius Sync?
I quoted it!
Having traveled for years on Airbnb it's extremely rare I actually have to do any sort of "chores". At most throw some dishes in the dishwasher or strip the bed (but even then that's not the norm).
I already live in a developing country lol
The key here is that reports go through a group of unrelated people who vet the claim. It is not one person that bans another.
Plus, if a user reports something that is not true they bare a cost for that wrongful claim. Because peoples answers cost...
Being able to preview effects while shooting may be seen as a potential way to save production costs by removing some of the need for re-shoots and pickups.
The 1401 was designed as a stored-program alternative to IBM's never-shipped WWAM World Wide Accounting Machine. WWAM was designed in IBM Europe in 1955. WWAM was to be a low-cost plugboard-programmed transistor computer to handle the same card tasks as IBM's existing and popular relay-based punch-card accounting equipment. WWAM was IBM's reaction to the threat of losing its many punch-card customers to a low-cost computer Gamma 3 made by French company Bull. 1401 uses the same ALU etc as WWAM, but with newer standard circuit modules. Both use arbitrary-length decimal fields, just like the punch card machines before them.

Several incompatible IBM machines in the 7000 series also used arbitrary length decimal numbers, not binary words.

At Burroughs, the "Medium Systems" B2500-B4800 series were similarly decimal only with arbitrary length numbers. They got extended with fixed-length decimal accumulator and index registers, and competed with IBM's mid range 360 and 4331 systems. Building a decimal-addressed memory using binary-addressed chips got increasingly kludgy.

And anyone in the market for a vacation that doesn't want to gamble on a terrible host.

Hotels might not be great, but they're way less of a gamble.

It only takes a vacation being completely ruined once or twice before you swear of AirBNB completely.
> Atoms are still just a human created mathematical abstraction we use to describe and make predictions about matter. All there really is is energy and atoms are just a mathematical tool we use to study energy.

We can see atoms with electron microscopes. A mathematical tool to study energy doesn't say anything. A tool describing how chemistry arises from atomic structure does.

> This is quite literally the oldest debate in natural science and it seems like one half of the debate just decided they’re right a few centuries ago and stopped caring about the fact that’s not something they have (or can) ever proved.

Not proved, but imagine using this sort of argument against evolution being a true account of life's history on Earth. Of course it won't get everything right, but in general there is simply no other way to explain how life forms changed over time. Similarly, there's no other way to understand microscopic physics than quantum mechanics. Maybe a more complete theory combining gravity and QM would be more true, just like Newtonian physics was incomplete and superseded by relativity.
Historically there are lots of passive attackers (and we don't know or think about them because they're passive), while a lot of them have been reluctant to become active attackers (because we might notice them!).

E.g. you could try to randomly record both ends of a TCP connection and then compare them out-of-band to see if someone in between tampered with the contents. (Although my late former colleague was working on a tool to do that and it turns out that there's a lot of noise and complexity to contend with in trying to make it practical, e.g. because of packet loss, retransmission, fragmentation, and changes like NAT by middleboxes that consider themselves benign.)

Random example of a passive communications interception attacker:

Another example:

There are lots more where those came from!
It’s fit for purpose. I make more than my local SDF. The members are under funded, under trained, and volunteering their time unpaid.

I see it as altruistic giving back to the community.

As for “fork and knife school”, I don’t need my JAGs as fit as I need my infantry.
There is a why and reasons we find and insights we glean. The denial of a why is itself an anthropocentric take on biology, influenced by Darwinian thought. But any biological system we study we need a why, otherwise the corollary of your statement essentially leads to no learning or understanding, because everything becomes “arbitrary” and explained away by randomness.

Ironic to say it’s not optimal, really we don’t have the full knowledge. Often when we learn more we learn how little we really know about biology.
> footnotes 3 and 4 seem to be swapped

Maybe they are async footnotes and there is a race condition. /s
2+2 plans are really, really questionable in my observation. Most students I know ended up doing either 2+3 or 3+3, which since as you pointed out CC are so, so, so much cheaper than university did save them money none the less. However, if you're going into a field that has any kind of improved earning potential from a degree, you have to look at the opportunity cost, taking into account the fact that if they had just gone straight to a 4 year they would have had an extra 1-2 years of making substantially higher wages than they could before they graduated.

If you have a kid who doesn't really know if they want to, say, be an engineer, then a 2+2 plan that they realize they aren't cut out for during the cheap years probably is a huge price save. But for the kid with the tools to succeed in school, a passion for a field that pays well, and the opportunity to get into a 4 year, they should absolutely just go for it off the bat.

The other problem with the 2+2 is that you're sacrificing 2 years of one of the biggest advantages of going to competitive universities: meeting other students who could get into competitive universities. I met most of my friends I made in college in the first 2 weeks, freshman year. It's probably the single easiest time in anyone's life to make new friends and acquaintances. And those friends, beyond being invaluable to me for social and romantic reasons, also have benefited me financially: one friend's dad got me an internship, which I was able to leverage into my first job. I got my second job by no small part thanks to the recommendation of another friend who already worked there. Looking back in time, the ROI on the bottle of vodka I brought to the dorm nextdoor move-in weekend is likely in the ~10,000,000% range.

Transfer students get a greatly diminished version of that opportunity. By their upper-division levels, most students are spending a lot more time on school work, and much less time randomly meeting their dorm-hall mates. It's still possible to meet people, and my high-school friends who did the transfer route did meet some people, but there's a much greater than 50% loss in networking opportunity.
I love hotels. I am not sure why Airbnb ever took off, other than price for large groups. Hotels you show up, you know you have a room because you booked with Hilton or whatever. They clean up the room after you leave for the day. They bring you stuff, carry luggage it’s great.
Yep, backing up phones (without using cloud, if you don't trust it, and I don't) is a pain... syncthing solves this, by syncing all the photos (and other files you want/need) onto a pc/server, that you can then back up using other solutions.
I'm starting to wonder if something is a mess at stripe: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36673091
Performance is a big one, nextcloud is really slow.
Tell me you don't have a family without telling me you don't have a family (or at least no kids).
> You don't think Apple will have a problem with running their OS and software on non Apple hardware?

That's not what's happening here. It's just streaming data.
I just had a play with this on the LangChain repo but the results were a bit mixed. Could you speak a bit about the approach taken and some of the challenges you faced?
Some people are reporting that Instagram is down. I don't use Instagram, can others confirm if this is related to the new Threads launch? A bit of a face plant though after claiming to be "sanely run."
Depends on scale and industry, right?

A post-scale consumer company should only ship something they are highly proud of.
Every time one of these Stripe posts shows up, I always wonder what'll happen when Edwin retires or moves on.
Not to mention the likes of McGraw-Hill and other textbook makers deciding that since students have to go to school, they're free to charge said students whatever they want. Those companies are for-profit and publicly traded, meaning they have to, by law, increase profits every quarter.

Reprinting a new edition every year with minimal changes but a nice $50 price increase (on top of the book already costing several hundred) is a nice way to do that.

Sick bastards, the lot of them.
This sounds mostly useless.
who cares about slots old x86 kit has very good throughput even if a laptop will only typically expose a couple slots (btw the rock5 only has 2 m.2 slots, this uses a breakout board).
> Even when I stay at a hotel I wipe down the sink and strip the bed before I leave.

That's not normal.
That applies both ways - there's no shortage of religious-rightist cultures on the planet that'd treat many sections of the U.S. right as quite left-leaning.

Even comparing to Europe, the memes that the US is to the right or left of Europe is just grossly wrong, often driven by taking one pet issue like public healthcare and using it as the base, when it's just one aspect of policy and there are others where Europe is markedly more moderate or conservative compared to the US.

Oftentimes those sorts of bias-rating sites also report clearly left-leaning outlets as more centrist than they are, and I wouldn't be surprised if outlets like the NYT get far higher ratings for factuality than they deserve.
My guess is that’s only for V1. I expect pretty quickly you’ll be able to drag windows anywhere, not constrained to screen.
No it isn’t. It’s x/99.

Also, it’s 35 today, but waivers are often granted and standards have changed throughout the years.

Lowest I’ve seen was 18.
I recommend just using something like XCA [1]. Just configure your own root CA and distribute it.

It doesn't matter either way. What matters is that Google offers proper enterprise contracts. Contracts that are enforceable and transfer a lot of legal liability to the vendor. OpenAI, generally, does not offer such things.

Google Search itself is a somewhat special case - it gets a free pass because of its utility and because you're unlikely to paste anything confidential into a search box. But there are many places where even Google Search is banned on the data security grounds.

OpenAI offerings - ChatGPT, the playground, and the API - all very much encourage pasting large amounts of confidential information into them, which is why any organization with minimum of legal sense is banning or curtailing their use.
Instagram’s Threads surpasses 100 million users
The progression from typing in programs like that from Compute! and various other magazines to commercial games like the Apache Gunship simulator with the keyboard overlay for controls was pretty mind blowing for teenage me.
Let’s hope it stays shelved then. In my experience, things are much easier to sneak into the details of some random update once the key functionality has been built and deployed. The root issue here is a loss of trust.
I don't know about quantum gravity experiments but there are already (proposed) experiments that don't involve gravity which might help distinguish between different interpretations:

The issue isn't that TLS keeps changing. It needs to for security. The bad thing that leads to planned obsolescence is that devices stop receiving manufacturer updates so soon and can't be updated by third parties. My preferred solution would be a law that if a manufacturer needs or wants to stop producing security updates sooner than 10 years after sales ended, it'd either need to open-source everything or allow everyone who ever bought one to return it for a full refund.
"apps these days" aren't like older software, where basically all the code and functionality was written and baked into each new release by the author/team releasing it

almost every piece of new software you use (certainly everything with a subscription) is actually calling another third-party paid API (sometimes multitudes) and using your subscription money to pay for the cost of the app leveraging that API

this approach made it much easier to release a product, but now the product depends on a third-party being paid for every request
Some staff members from Stripe already replied that they are looking into this. But if you take a look at reviews on Trustpilot this (withholding funds) seems to be a very common complain, which is terrifying.
“ While Ahrefs uses AWS benefits for hosting our frontend in different parts of the world, the vast majority of Ahrefs’ infrastructure iceberg hides in the colocation with owned hardware”

They use the cloud when scalability is a concern. Most people recognize that cloud services are more expensive than managing their own infra when utilization is high and usage is predictable. Kudos to Agrefs for making the right decisions for their needs.
And a lack of supply that is pushed by owners. (Not just AirBnb owners, all owners)
All I see is people struggling to make things work on the M series Macs.

It's one of the environments with the most friction the second you do more than what a Chromebook would.
The same goes for me and I imagine many more. This is literally the only thing holding it back from being the perfect Google Photos replacement for families with someone who self-hosts.
Ironically, you cite some other boogeymen. They are high mostly because not enough housing is being built to meet demand.
The only reason I chose them instead of AWS is bill shock. I don't run up high enough of requests to go past the free tier though so honestly... I have no idea what it's like to run a "successful" system with millions of requests a day.

But their pricing (10 million / month, +$0.50/million) is much clearer to me than the many many pages of confusing jargon on AWS, which is why I went for CF.

I've seen some horror stories, but it's been great so far. Honestly, I just don't know... but that's probably true for any host like this? (I have no idea how to run my own server, so I'm completely dependent on hosts like CF or Fly)

Some places are more affected by AirBnB than others. Seattle? Nope. Paris Bastille district? A few years ago definitely.
Funny you say this, I spent a good 5+ hours yesterday trying to get an SVG of a UI mockup to render properly on Safari before giving up and implementing it in HTML.

What was especially annoying was that different representations of the exact same SVG would behave differently (inline-svg vs img+src vs object)
Oh damn. the retention process worked.

I think the hack here is to say you're moving and can't transfer your account for whatever reason, and you typically get fasttracked to cancellation. (along with the standard phone-tree escape of holding down a button on your phone)

I know many people who, after working phone support themselves, call up just to ask for a discount once a year.
Apartments in residential buildings are well.. apartments, not hotels. If you're a tourist, go to a hotel, I don't want a new set of loud obnoxius neighbors partying every few days next door to my apartment (and a shared wall in between). The apartment that should be rented out at cheaper monthly rate is now getitng rented out to lud tourists per daily rates, and that is a bad thing for locals living in that city. Some areas are already destroyed by airbnbs, so banning airbnbs (and all the other short-term rentals of residential apartments) should be banned.

Leveraging SSD Ephemeral Disks in EC2
So far, I've found that using superhosts is a reliable way to get good results from AirBnB. I think a lot of the horror stories come from the original business model of crashing in Joe Sixpack's basement.
Pretty sure crunches are now considered to be bad for your back, and a less than ideal core workout. Planks are a very good core workout.
Fastmail and protonmail offer a lot more than just postfix+dovecot hosting. Fastmail developed new standard, brand new webmail UI, brand new webmail client. That's a lot of added value. Protonmail is heaven for crypto nerds which has its own intrinsic value as well.

Ordinary mail hosting is nothing special. Anybody can do it with very little investments. Of course if they can charge for it, good for them. But I don't think it's fair to compare those services. It's like comparing AWS and some random VPS hosting with cpanel just because both can launch debian VPS.
