Control flow liquid and avoid spills with moving the glass.

Very useful for children, old people and those with special needs.

But also useful for things like sensitive teeth, avoiding consuming heavy solids in a drink, or to spit balls of tissue at teachers.

Good for on the go consumption as they can move, and you can avoid hitting your mouth with a cup.
I was super interested up until the Discord link :(
I wonder if they're going to keep the cool name, or if they'll come up with something equally pronounceable.

As a proud (and happy) owner of an iPhone Mini, there’s quite a lot of things that I can’t do comfortably on a phone. I use an iPad Mini as a travel companion for reading, maps, some games, playing music (longer battery life) and sorting through photos I took on my phone.
I am not familiar with the space, but is moving boxes from A to B even a real pain point for many businesses such that they’d get an ROI by buying something like this just for that sole purpose? It just seems like one of a hundred specialized location and company specific tasks an average warehouse worker needs to do, and they need to show robots doing something a little more specialized or compelling to make this anything other than lame video demo hype. What is their beach head market? Any insight appreciated!
I think it is a bit more than just militarily being told who told support or spying/privacy. The west will frequently threaten to cut off aid to Africa if they don't accept certain social policies. I'm not sure if any aid has actually been cut off yet, but there is a constant pushing for it.
Idk, I get 6 weeks of PTO a year and I make a hell of a lot more money than Europeans do.

Just because the mandated minimum PTO is 0 doesn't mean everyone has 0 days PTO. Minimum wage is another example - the federal minimum wage is really low but the median income in America is higher than in Europe.

We just don't have the same approach to government regulations.
Deterministic builds, and inability to ensure constant-time operations are the two that come to mind. The first is a build security / supply chain issue, and the latter is a real vulnerability if the rust compiler "helpfully" optimizes away no-op operations in alternate code paths.
I went through all the previous HN discussions on the paper. I don't think I've ever done that before and don't know what compelled me to try today. It was rewarding! Pretty much every thread had new ideas not discussed in previous threads.

One quick takeaway: it seems like reading Ryle's The Concept of Mind to really understand Naur's idea of "theory" is a good next step for going deeper on this topic.
I suspect it may be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I4YPkVU7mY

I'm interested in this because these linearized tree representations lend themselves well to processing on GPU. We use them in Vello for representing clip and blend groups, with quite deep nesting level allowed. By contrast, the traditional pointer chasing approach to ASTs limits parallelism and has poor utilization of memory bandwidth.
Or anywhere, really. This statement: "Grab a reMarkable or Kobo and get hacking" isn't realistic to me. I don't run out and buy current products that cost $300 to "get hacking."

Hacking on a panel scrounged from a discontinued product, or a bare one, sure. But when you're spending multiple hundreds of dollars for a new part, I don't consider that the hacker realm.

Nothing against the author; I've been looking at E-ink for a long time and this page is inspiring. But in the end, the cost turns me away yet again. Also the pitiful refresh rates I've seen...
There's a small risk that raw pasta might be contaminated with E. Coli or Salmonella, but I assume that this risk is miniscule compared to the health risks of frequently consuming sugary drinks (with or without straws).

Unlike AltGr, the option key didn't just define alternate code pages. It also was employed in a scheme by which you could add accents to a variety of characters: for example, option-i, then u, would make û, and option-i, then o, would make ô. The Mac/Lisa had its own high-bit ASCII codemap four years before Latin-1 came into being. The original Mac also came with a special piece of overlay software -- the keyboard viewer -- which still exists on MacOS 40 years later and which was used to display the current keystates and mechanisms for creating accents.
> Consumers demand it, and we chose a society that mostly freely provides goods for consumer demands.

Except for Ad industry and marketing.
That's a fair point, my experience as well. I think I was mostly talking about the code I see on e.g. GitHub.
SBCL is an inspiring and very interesting compiler, and it bolts a static-typing system onto Common Lisp that often lets it do pretty decent native-code compilation. In my ignorant opinion offered up in the spirit of Cunningham's Law, the parts it falls short on don't seem to be related to inadequate static typing. Rather, I feel major pain points are things like (0) the backend codegen seriously sucks, compared to the million-man-hour compilers like that languages like C have. Auto-vectorization is the most obvious of a long list of shortcomings. (1) The core Common Lisp language lacks ways to express basic and critical zero-overhead abstractions, like unboxed arrays of structs. (The zero-overhead subset of SBCL/CL is less expressive than C! Arguably!) (2) Though Lisp macros are great zero-overhead abstractions, Lisp's functional programming abstractions are often pretty expensive, so "lean" Lisp ends up looking disturbingly like plain, procedural C (and an inexpressive subset of it at that). (Or is this some unavoidable consequence of the excessive dynamicism of CL, that a very expressively typed Lisp could potentially solve? I don't know).
Thoughts about what worked in math circles
There’s no kerning, it’s just monospace. Yes, monospace fonts are less comfortable to read prose in.
The only time I find it useful is when I’m driving while drinking a side I got at the fast food place I stopped at. It’s pretty easy to drive while drinking out of a straw.
Many companies in germany (depending what company form they are) need to share how much they have in their bank account, how much their possessions are worth, revenue, how much they owe etc.. This is all listed in the "unternehmensregister"[0]. This is very handy when you are doing business with a company, so they can't lie to you about their assets. I don't know if this also exists in other countries.

I love these throwbacks. It reminds me of my old Palm m500. There is something so comfortable about Palm OS. I can't quite grasp it but the Palm experience is simply exquisite and I have never seen it replicated anywhere.
>A store with 5000 items each requiring a LCD pricetag would be constantly replacing little batteries

Errr, not really. LCD price tags existed before e-ink (and still do) and battery life was not much worse. It's something like 1.5x-2x tops, so enough to make business sense, but not orders of magnitudes earth shattering as one might assume.
Dry toilets and chamber pots are used in rural areas all over the world, yes? How city-centric must you be to not know that?

But even in rural areas with easy road access (so not the area I talked about in WV), I can easely see people using dry toilets and putting their excretions in the field. It's not like DIY plumbing for sceptic tank is particularly easy or inexpensive, any person living off grid, by choice or necessity, might prefer 'defecate in fields' (ie: using dry toilets) imho.

Now I remember how some urbanites think themselves above rural people from their own countries, I almost forgot. Parisians are not the only self-centered narcissists it seems.

> HN is definitely left-leaning

As I was saying, defining "left" is problematic, different people mean different things by that term. To me, left means anti-establishment, anti-censorship, pro free speech, anti war. I see tons of people on here defending censorship of social media ("they're private corporations"), pro Ukraine war. I see much less defense of the women's rights movement on HN than I traditionally associate with the left. I mean the comment I just responded to is a perfect example -- the guy is tearing someone down for pointing out imperialism from the Belgian government. "HN leans left" isn't something you can substantiate in my view.
There are tons of approaches to align on service contracts for JSON based API calls. There’s also libraries like gRPC which help make contacts explicit. Neither are really uncommon

> That said, it's a trade off between efficiency and load spike tolerance. I trust that the trade off is made with informed decision.

I don't think that relatively low utilization rates is the scenario that requires "informed decision". The only tradeoff in low utilization rate scenarios is cost, which might be outright cheaper and irrelevant once you do the math on the tradeoffs of using reserved instances vs the cost of scaling up with on-demand instances.

You need to make a damn good case to chronically underprovision your system and expect it to autoscale your way into nickle-and-dime savings.
Why next May? I reckon they will push it all the way to December again.
I need straws to deal with American ice servings. Almost impossible to drink without a straw.

Of course you don’t need straws at home unless you have special needs, because your glass is full of drink not ice with a splash of drink.
It’s funny though, how productivity massively goes up per capita yet pay doesn’t really change much and despite each person today being the equivalent of many multiple people from yesterday, capitalists complain about how they can’t find enough affordable labor in a system known for its profit gouging and corruption. Something’s not right here…
My uncle has Parkinson's disease attributed (in part) by Veterans Affairs due to Agent Orange exposure in Vietnam.

He can only drink out of a cup using a straw due to the trembling and shakes.

Also, straws are fun.
Most of the current lids on fast food togo cups these days don't work with my lip shape. It sounds funny but drinking from them especially while driving does not work, the drink just leaks out the corners of my mouth.
I hope they cordon off that one euro, so it doesn't make its way into their books as real revenue.

The showman in me wants a physical euro put in a safe, or display case somewhere in case a similar deal goes the other way in future.
What do you mean? Slack is one of the most responsive and reliable tools I touch every day.
I agree with your assessment on GPU sustainability.

Simply put, AMD is going to have to get their shit together. NVIDIA was embraced by the AI community so long ago because CUDA isn't that tough to use. I haven't looked at AMD's solutions at all - in fact I don't even know what they call their version of CUDA - but I know one thing for certain is that the world cannot depend on a single company to supply the underlying technology for this technological revolution.

That's an easy way to a dystopian hellscape.

And the only reason we haven't seen open source foundational model training is, because as you said, the only significant player in the arena right now is NVIDIA.

Here's hoping Lisa Su is shifting priorities - and quickly.

If you’re going down that path, all we need is water. Human needs go beyond the physical.
I have heard this argument from perfectly healthy people, and I couldn't really believe it, since there are just so many other touch points when you go to a restaurant.

If someone is immuno compromised I think this makes sense to extent.
While driving, trying to drink from a spout puts more of the cup into your field of vision. It’s not as safe as a straw.

The retort, of course, will be to not drink while driving. Sigh.
The problem lies in the non-monotonous structure of the sequence of weight when combining positive and negative weights, which is incompatible with Dijkstra's greedy search, which requires monotonous weight sequences in the traversal.
Of course. It has almost no effect at all, as far as I can say. These are also important:

Why are aluminum cans cheap and disposable but we can't have cheap aluminum straws?
Sort of related, 'du | sort -n' to figure out what's using the space.
There is that.

What I'd prefer is that people note the problem, email mods, and note that they've done so. Which is my standard practice.
How is choosing the right language for a task/team slowing them down?

For large scale, cross cutting initiatives you’ll have some pain. For feature velocity, you’ll see great results. Everything is a trade off.
To me it seems without the art. The costs will be passed on to the customers. I think there must be good ways to do redundancy without having all services running at full blast in each Availability Zone.

It's a blunt tool, much like PHP. PHP does seem to be a good choice for them, but I wouldn't want to work there. It's all right, there are different ways to do stuff.
when I see the words "forever chemicals" in some writing I assume the use of emotive language is simply there to try to manipulate me and so whatever the opposite of what the article says is likely the truth
Got one and sippy cup was the thing to use, but yeah straws were also helpful for a while after graduating from the sippy cup.
You'd feel differently if you had no arms.

The people doing real estate forecasts want actual numbers to crunch and would enumerate the fleas on your dog and rank sort its name on the date of sale if you let them. They think confounding variables are for quitters.
> I think there's a very obvious distinction between the kind of "3rd party" that is your chosen OS distribution and the kind of 3rd party that is "some person on github or crates.io"

That tells you more about crates.io than consuming prebuilt binaries.

Some Linux distro ship both source code packages and prebuilt binaries. This has not been a problem for the past two decades. Why is it suddenly a problem with Rust's ecosystem?
I’m not sure if you’re being serious, but in any case; This will happen, as it always does, inevitably.
Any link/source? Not that I don’t believe you just curious as it seems plausible but never chances across support for it
>E ink is almost identical to LCD and probably slightly easier to make

False. E-ink film, especially color, is definitely more complex to get right than LCDs. Sure, e-ink displays have the same TFT layer underneath just like LCD displays, but the e-ink pigment and film is tricky to make.
Like everyone else, I would like to express my absolute love for your product. Awesome response and I hope you can work at Obsidian and be happy for many years to come.
No I am asking for a situation when the unions have an agenda of extracting maximum benefits out of the company while actively encouraging its members to put in the absolute bare minimum of effort. This will in a few years time will make the company's products prohibitevly expensive due to the associated cost inflation. As a result of which the company's products are no longer competitive in the free market unless heavily subsidized by tax payer dollars (think UAW and its role in gutting American car mannufacturing. These days except for states in rural US, cars made by American car companies: GM, Ford, Chrysler are mostly considered as jokes all over the world).

I mean the very simple question is: who pays? What protects the shareholders, management and the employees?
How does Coalton compare to Shen?
Yeah, UI animations can be good. The vast majority are bad, and even the good ones are almost always too long. That's why it's nice to have a setting for them. Those macOS animations you mentioned have no settings to make them faster and they are infuriating.

On phones I usually speed animations up rather than turning them off entirely. But on the Pixel Watch the animations are so gratuitous and add so much friction to my use of the watch that I turn them off entirely.
weird fare for the guardian, or at least it used to be at one point years ago.
It doesn’t have full feature parity, but as the post you shared says, they “aim for full interoperability with S3”. If you have an S3 client doing basic object storage stuff, it will work fine with Spaces.
They have the same DNA, that's for sure.
A prototypical example today is to take battery range into account in navigation. You charge your battery going downhill, corresponding to a negative edge weight. If you're driving from the top of a mountain, through a valley, to the top of a hill, many of the available routes might end up with a negative cost!

Preprocessing is certainly possible, but the result is to densify the graph. That densification can turn a sparse graph with O(n) edges into a dense graph with O(n^2) edges. When the goal is to keep pathfinding to a nearly-linear (roughly O(vertices + edges) with log factors) runtime in the presence of negative weight edges, naive preprocessing blows the budget before you even start pathfinding.

The article at hand presents long-sought after algorithms which hit the near-linear runtime goal at the cost of a combination of clever preprocessing and a novel divide&conquer approach. So yes, preprocessing, no, not "just" preprocessing.
Say what? I know zero, none, no people who put their pronouns in their signature. Given that I work with college students, I'm not exactly sheltered. You live in a weird, woke bubble.

Which is probably why you don't see the need to allow disrespecting symbols. That is a classic means of protest, whether it's a flag, a picture, a book, or something else. It is meant to get attention, and yet harms no one.
Do we as a society even need [alcohol|nicotine|cannabis|refined sugar|fat|salt]?

Maybe not. But I refuse to believe that you asked that question in good faith, because we're obviously going to have all of them. People should be free to live as healthily or as unhealthily as they choose.
I think it’s fair to not call it equivalent because of that, but it’s also fair to acknowledge what is unsupported is pretty power user level stuff for the most part. I used spaces in s3 compatibility for a few use cases and never ran into the problem that what I was trying to do was unsupported. Granted I was not trying to do fancy things, but still.

Some examples of things that I used the S3 compat for that worked just fine:

- terraform backend

- velero backups

- log store for prometheus/promtail

- docker pull through cache

One dust particle per 12" square loses you 1 of 100 CPUs. It loses you 100% of your 50" TVs.

Also, CPU manufacturing facilities keep the insides of the machines cleaner than the facility, containing the wafers in transit between machines, and LCD manufacturers do not have the same luxury.
Those are all much looser restrictions than routing traffic consistently to a cell

That's just 16 years, not much. From the POV of retro, this is new. Especially as we are talking about a still used and evolving technology, not something dead which was rediscovered and revived.
> I'm having to use VIPER as the architecture for the project…

This is your problem. VIPER is just a huge amount of worthless bureaucratic toil. It’s only useful if your only option to scale development is putting as many warm bodies in seats as possible and need to enforce mediocrity to keep things from going off the rails. It’s not great in general and particularly bad for SwiftUI.
"theoretically" doing a lot of work there.

Also: "Lots of small mom and pop places pay exorbitant amounts for things like credit card processing, cash management and banking, tech, inventory management, etc." is totally unsubstantiated. Like they're too stupid to know what they're doing?

We'll have no trouble at all finding stories of old businesses that changed ownership to a soulless group of MBA's, the customers heard about it, complained that it wasn't the same anymore, and quit coming. I doubt you can find many stories going the other direction.
I'm an uber eats driver picking up a long delivery but notifications comes in for grubhub and Doordash for two short deliveries with pickups and dropoffs along my existing route.
To be honest, that commenter probably knows more than I do about the tech. But on the business side, I think that would be a stronger position if there wasn't just one single company that owns the entire market. OLEDs were originally very expensive, niche, and had yield problems but competition has driven development -- bringing prices down, improving yields, and solving many the issues that made them a niche application.

The commenter said that a billion dollars are needed to make the technology scale but The EInk Corporation itself raised only 1/10th of that and now they're making a billion dollars per year off it -- why haven't they brought prices down then?

If you look at their annual reports, EInk sure seems to think their patents are important; they mention patents as part of their "strategic roadmap" every year. Their initial patents were in the late 90s, and the last few years the royalty revenue amounts on E Ink's revenue breakdowns have been dropping every single year as they shift more and more into actually making the screens. The data lines up IMO.
We have a lot of things that we don’t need. Abundance and option (rather than bare sustenance) are defining features and goals of a healthy society.

That’s a long way of saying that there are a lot of things we don’t need, but that eliminating them makes relatively little sense. We should instead develop compensating systems based on those needs (such as disincentivizing single-use straws, and normalizing reusable ones in the ways that reusable bottles and bags have been normalized.)
