> There should be a minimum (10 years? more?) period in which companies are required to support smart home devices and keep the cloud services that support them operational

10 years (or whatever) from time the product comes to market or from the time they stop selling it?

If it from the time they stop selling it that would probably lead to a lot of things not being sold for long. Manufacturers will want to get the clock started as soon as possible to minimize the amount of time they end up having to back port security fixes to libraries that upstream has stopped supporting.

This could result in manufacturers discontinuing things a year to two after introducing them, replacing them with newer products that do most of what the old did but probably also incorporate newer features.

That would be annoying for consumers. Say I buy some internet connected home control and security system, but don't buy all the accessories it works with. Then 5 years later I want to add say a camera. But the cameras designed for my system were discontinued 4 years earlier, and the cameras the company now sells are 3 generations ahead of that and require features or interfaces in the base system that aren't in mine.

On the other hand if it is from the time the product comes to market that will also probably discourage manufactures from keeping a product available for a long time. Consumers might be reluctant to buy something that has been for sale several years knowing that it only has a few years of mandatory support left.

Probably what you need are two limits, one requiring a certain number of years from the time the product is introduced, and the other requiring a certain smaller number of years after the product is discontinued.
Rarely do researchers get an opportunity to get 15 minutes of fame like right now. Anyone successfully recreating LK99 can

* Potentially do it better/purer

* Get a few news articles, and a mention in a very high traffic Wikipedia page

* Again if they do it well, get 8 figures in funding pretty easily. While during any other day they might be fighting for $50,000 here and $100,000 there

Intelligent/smart people are fantastic at rationalizing, it's like a superpower.
I don't think it's reasonable that a SaaS should be able to train their AI on anything that is uploaded (if you're paying for the service). In fact, I don't think it's reasonable that they should even have access to view what you're uploading and sharing in private meetings. If neither of those were true, then they wouldn't have to worry about IP infringement.
So "pro-anerexia" in this instance is getting back the answer you explicitly ask for, with heavy disclaimers? The bots are fueling anorexia, the source illness is. I imagine you could do the same thing with Google searches. I wish there wasn't such a push for blocking information.
AI/ML Development Using JupyterLabs and Docker
I would if I could, but I don't need/use desktops --- my preference has always been for tablets, preferably portable with a stylus (and touch) --- CellWriter is kind of primitive, and driver support is problematic at best.

That said, my next project is connecting my Wacom One screen to a Raspberry Pi 4 (which unfortunately means giving up touch --- I'd be very interested in graphics tablet/screen w/ support for current Wacom styluses _and_ touch). Can't quite justify a Wacom Cintiq since I don't want the complication of a different stylus technology than my other devices (it's really nice to be able to switch between drawing on my Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 to taking notes on my Kindle Scribe to checking something on my Note 10+).

I suppose I should try an Android tablet, but there's not much software there which is suited to the work I do.
Yeah, I think unless the authors are deliberatly misleading the public (which is of course a possibility, though not very likely I think) it is hard to imagine a scenario where all of this won't turn out to be highly interesting in one way or another (even if it might turn out to not be a superconductor)
Are you trolling me? Yes Bernie was popular among young white men, but they are one part of a larger coalition. Even the links you provided showed that he had plenty of support from minorities.

Technically yes, you could hash every substring of the new password and check them against the database. But is probably too much trouble for what is worth it
A key difference is that the impact of these enormous models is obscured away. I don't feel the impact of having to run GPT-3.5-turbo at scale because it's just an API call away, and it's even more reliable now.

The main critiques outside of data privacy I've read are related to energy consumption, but even then, it's...not compelling? I read an article[0] that estimated the training of ChatGPT (3.5) to emit as much C02 as more than 3 round-trip flights between SF and NYC. That's not good! But also, really highlights that if we're to reduce emissions, there's clearly bigger targets than the largest ML models in the world.

In Norway, EVs went from under 10% to over 90% of new cars sold in under a decade.[a]

It seems to have happened very gradually, then suddenly. Tick, tick, tick... Ka-Boom!

California and other states seem to be in the early stages of the same adoption curve.

I own two EVs. I bought the first one three years ago as a test. Two years later, I was so satisfied with it that I bought a second one. In my experience, EVs are far superior to gas-powered cars -- so much better, in fact, that I hope never again to buy a gas-powered car!

Based on the adoption curves we're seeing and my own experience, I'd expect more than 90% of all new cars sold in the US to be EVs within the next 10-15 years.

I wrote a paper for a class a few months ago. In a previous life, I was a tech-audience editor that required writing article titles with a hook to lure people into reading. On my first draft of the paper, I used one of these styled titles and the comments that came back said that it was too "flowery"; since it was an academic paper, it should be more like the pattern you indicated. And sure enough, I changed it and all my subsequent papers to that pattern and never got dinged again.

I was told the Snoo was the bees knees of baby rockers. Damn it was pricey (1600) bucks. I luckily saw a friend's model in action. Figured it can't be hard to make! Bought myself an Arduino, a stepper motor, a few trips to home depot to get some 2*6s (needed a bit of experimentation here) as a base and a lazy Susan swivel. Voila! Hard work but a lot of fun as I not only had a working rocker (definitely wasn't as pretty as the Snoo but also learn a lot of mechanical engineering in the process. Oh yeah I did rent the Snoo for a month so the baby would have something while I was working at it.

It's a bit hard to log into an Nvidia account without connecting to their servers. But I guess if you're not philosophically opposed to online logins, you could totally just log in and then block its internet access with a firewall rule (either Windows Defender Firewall, or another app like Portmaster).

I do this anyway even though I don't have GFE installed because other components of the driver also try to connect to Nvidia's servers for some reason. Not on my watch.

(Though I wonder if there is some registry key or something to make GFE believe you've logged in, even if it's never connected to the internet. Surely someone would've figured it out by now.)

There are a number of reasons why battery swapping is not feasible in the real world, among them:
- Batteries age differently from one another, so swapping would only be fair if you had a similarly aged battery that had a similar number of miles & charge cycles on it
- Batteries need to be taken care of (like not using the last 10% at each limit of the battery). some people take really good care of their batteries, others don't. I would never want some random battery swapped into my car, as I've taken really good care of my car's battery
- Batteries are structurally built into the vehicle, and making them easily removable would make a lot of the engineering more difficult
- Batteries could become commoditized so that they fit in any car, but right now there are tons of different shaped & sized batteries, so it would be really hard to build the tooling to support all these different cars & battery types
Another reason is that if you look for an investor, one of the first things they ask is how / where you host it. If it is anything remotely DIY you'll be turned down.

It was actually painful to see start ups spending thousands a month on hosting, that could be easily achieved as you say under 100 pcm plus. They would have to get a contractor to set it up and for support, but it would have worked out much cheaper and they could have bumped the salaries of their workers.
>>...if you're a software engineer.

I'm a software engineer and you'd have to pry Visual Studio out of my cold dead hands, it's the reason why I deal with all the nonsense of using Windows.
I'm pretty paranoid about battery fires. I store all my 18650s in vented metal ammo boxes, generally don't leave devices charging while I'm out of the house, etc, but I would hope (and I assume) something as large as a car battery would have a large safety margin built in.
> At a lot of jobs I've dealt with using contractors, there was an internal concern that people external "didn't care" enough. How do you plan on addressing this concern?

That’s correct. Either you are a full time employee, or you get second-class culture even if you are part of internal slack. It’s very hard to get external contractors to be excited when they dont get the swag / on-sites and share the culture.

Which is why we want to have devs belong first class citizens in the GitStart Community, and join all hands / game nights and learn from others. And our integrations push through PRs and all the updates to engineering teams.
Legally how?
I know people who live like you do with EVs and they have zero problem. Either they can charge at work or they charge when they're parked while out shopping or similar or, worst case scenario, they just have to drive down the road to the nearest super charger and just sit there 15-25 minutes watching YouTube while their car charges.
Collecting website categorization is not "valuable for software improvement" and certainly does "violate privacy."

A bit OT but I was curious about

> One solution was building GitSlice, which enables creating sub-repos that sync with the upstream repo. When GitStart devs create PRs on the platform, GitSlice syncs them upstream while pulling back CI/CD checks and review comments. This enables our devs to contribute with limited codebase access.

Is this an internal tool or something you also make (or plan to make) available? We have this problem too at Ritza (a technical writing agency), where often our customers have a mono-repo with a docs/ subfolder that we need access too. Currently we solve this with some custom bash scripts and cron to sync just a subfolder to an internal copy, but is far from perfect and still involves some manual cherry-picking.
I'm surprised it doesn't do opening hours, as that information is readily available in the OSM tags (though maybe a bit sparsely compared to Google Maps).

As for the rest; yeah I'd love to see a serious effort to get an OMS-based map up to feature parity with Google Maps. Place photos, contacts integration, and the timeline would be big ones for me.
I remember a colleague telling me about this, he used one late 2007. I thought "what unneccessary complexity, I store them encrypted with vim, much better". I know better now.
But "default" is precisely not asking for consent. One of the thing GDPR asks, is for websites to explicitly ask for the user permission to allow cookies
One thing I absolutely hate about Google Maps is you can't do text search for buildings/businesses with "hotel" or "inn" specifically in the name, it'll jack that search and show you its special hotels interface in an attempt to sell you rooms.

Also there's no way to look up "serviced apartments" specifically, it's an actual category, but that also gets used as an excuse to load the hotels interface.

The interface basically hides totally valid hotels that don't necessarily have an online presence but their name/category is on the map.
I totally get your point and it's valid. But I think this ship has sailed a long time ago.

With modern languages having adhoc polymorphism, inheritance and different kinds of dispatch as well as extension methods etc., without an IDE you are already lost anyways.

E.g. in rust you won't know where a trait is implemented and how it will behave, in kotlin you won't know if a method exists on the object or comes from somewhere else etc.

The trend is going to more supportive but also more complex languages and tooling is naturally adapting to that.
I'm not into basketball, it made 100% sense. I assume most people have played basketball at least once in their childhood, even if not from the US. And also mentioning names like Michael Jordan who is known worldwide by most people regardless of if they know basketball well or not.

I'm personally comfortable with making some lucky investors super rich, in this case. Like, this is sort of the canonical good application of a patent: you've invented something extremely useful, but can't keep it a trade secret and don't have the expertise to scale it up yourself. This is what patents are supposed to be for!

Social media as a profit center is a failed experiment and it must be dismantled (simple news delivery or not) - distributed communities will make a return as it should be.

I respect your opinion, but to me the situation is more akin to a random algorithm distributing a whole manner of both healthy and junk foods together with no labels. Now we're worried about that the people will no longer know how to get food at all, or that it'll all be junk.

Facebook helped create that problem (accident or not) and that now needs to be undone - staying the course is not a preferable solution. The news outlets also deserve a chance to deliver directly to their readers and viewers - if they're no better off financially that's the outlet's problem. Potential financial extortion of the Canadian government aside, I think it's a net positive having news links off the platform.

Maybe there should be more government funding tax dollars to support outlets people respect - the sooner we find out the result of this the sooner we can try a next step. Maybe we got it wrong.

You need all ~900 employees to 'test' YubiKeys, apparently. Do enlighten me about the value in that.
I get by fine with 240v/20a charging (16a in reality).

Street charging, leveraging things like existing utility lines to street lights, isn't a huge lift. The individual chargers can balance the current they deliver among themselves if / when they share a common feed.

Similarly in large parking lots where people spend lots of time, you can put "low power" DC charging so people can charge while they're shopping.

The key to thinking about EV charging vs petrol charging is that you can and should do it without locking the operator to the vehicle -- plug in and walk away should be the expected interaction. DC fast charging like using petrol is useful in a very specific use case (long distance travel) but the requirement of "dump a gas tank of energy into an EV" is actually absurdly complex and requires huge power infrastructure. Around where I live many of the tesla superchargers have a natural gas fuel cell electric generator right next to them.
The article focuses very little on the actual sport, though.

Isn’t that supply and demand? You’re in demand because you create more value than you capture. Your employer loves that about you. If they could find someone cheaper who produced even more value, they’d replace you.
