Capitalism tends to edge towards maximality through high margin, high volume. Followed closely by low margin, high volume. And small ventures at low margin, low volume. All can coexist to improve the society.

Often, capitalism is discussed in the context of cronyism.
IMHO, the decent indies are all sat on copies of either the original dealer software (by whatever means…) or copies built by companies to emulate original dealer software (VCDS for VAG for example)
Thank you for bringing this to our attention and fighting the good fight. This is something that I have been working towards in the Distributed Energy Resource devices space as the DOE and DOD have realized that as more of those devices are connecting to our electric grids the more critical it's become to secure them for the nations security.

The members of the alliance for DER devices have recently started working towards standards and solutions for cybersecurity of their devices which could overlap with what you are trying to do within FCC.

There might be opportunities to collaborate if you see fit.

In every single car I've been in, the touchscreens are optional and you have some sort of knob you can use. This requires memorizing where things are in the software, however.
I think 20 years with N optional 10 year renewals (where N can be debated[1]). I'd like it to be short enough for the less-profitable works to make archivists jobs easier, but long enough for authors to be able to profit off of commercial adaptations (e.g. the GoT show appeared 15 years after the book was published).

I like #2, but it could be a burden; perhaps only registered works should do it (and registering would be required for renewals).

You're anti union except for when conditions are bad for workers?

Are you against business owners coordinating too?
You've got it backwards: in this case, if a piece can rotate, all of its possible positions count as the same configuration. In other words, the problem is posed in such a way that we can ignore the fact that pieces can (sometimes) have the freedom to rotate.
Jassy and Zuckerberg have both said that new employees (even experienced hires) are underperforming compared the workers who were in an office setting at some point. With a couple of years of turnover, that can compound quite a bit.
Here’s another one. One day I started an old device which apparently loaded OneDrive and my entire OneDrive (150GB) got wiped.

It still showed links under recent files but the actual files were gone.

Customer support said they can’t do anything about it. 6 years of photos, personal files, university work and co gone.

I happened to have an old notebook with _some_ files on it.

After years of being resistant to “extra layers of complexity that slows me down” I adopted TS and now I can’t live without it.

So as a fanboy, when I read things like this I try my darnedest to have empathy and try to understand it from their point of view. And I’m just really struggling to in this case.

I get that it adds some complexity. But what are you actually getting without it? It’s not like types go away. They don’t. They just become implicit. It takes something a computer is really good at, and shoves it into your brain. And as many point out: the types are, more than anything, documentation.

But beyond any of that (and I feel this is the most important lesson): when there’s like a 100:1 ratio in favour of something, you’re probably wrong. Not always. But probably. And it’s your ball. You can take it and go home if you want. People can fork. But sometimes you need to, at best, say, “I simply do not understand you people, but you’re the overwhelming majority, so whether I like it or not, I need to leave things as-is.”
> "The Beatles set off colossal waves of cultural change, but they anchored their revolution for only so long: Six years after chiming that unforgettable chord they weren’t even a band anymore. The maelstrom OpenAI has unleashed will almost certainly be far bigger."

There is no way I can interpret a comparison to the Beatles with the added statement that the Beatles cultural impact will likely be much smaller as anything less than an absolutely massive overstatement based entirely out of some internal bias. If the author was intending this to be written from the perspective of how they think of themselves then in my opinion they have failed.

None of the deposits are on the technology company's balance sheet because the neobank doesn't actually handle any of the money. They are essentially UIs on top of APIs exposed by the bank.

If you make a deposit into a neobank, you'll have a routing and account number, but the routing number belongs to the partner bank servicing that account. If you deposit cash or a check or whatever, it goes _directly_ to the partner bank.
You might even say "If Hayek understood economics, he wouldn't have been Hayek".
I thought I was repeating what the article said:

“This stage corresponds to day 7 of the natural human embryo, around the time it implants itself in the womb.”

“The researchers discovered that if the embryo is not enveloped by placenta-forming cells in the right manner at day 3 of the protocol (corresponding to day 10 in natural embryonic development), its internal structures, such as the yolk sac, fail to properly develop.”

“The stem cell–based embryo-like structures (termed SEMs) developed normally outside the womb for 8 days, reaching a developmental stage equivalent to day 14 in human embryonic development.” (So ~1 week post implantation for a human embryo.)

Remove TypeScript, change linting rules, remove Prettier, breaks all PRs ... seemingly with no discussion and merged within 2 hours of the PR.

Sounds like a project I'd stay away from.

With comments like "Also, TypeScript hurts to write. Good riddance."

What exactly is the problem here? Do we have too many developers who grew up on JavaScript and aren't seeing the benefits of static typing? Is a tiny compiler (transpiler) step on the front-end simply too much to ask?

I say this as a lead on an enterprise Angular project who used to loathe front-end development (for 20+ years). TypeScript has brought back some sanity.
If it passes over a central server, does it really count as p2p?

If browsers grew p2p capabilities [1], we could begin to bypass centralization and build truly distributed (not just federated) social networks, news systems, and the like.

Imagine not having to run "archive.is" against headlines. You just share them - tamperlessly - with others. And the comment graph. You could even begin to boost high-value content with your own algorithm that you control.

P2P in browsers would return us to where many of us thought the internet would lead us in the early 00's. The disappearance of bittorrent and arrival of central platforms like Facebook felt like the future faded away and disappeared.

People are using Discord now, but in the 00's people used completely customizable open source clients to connect to their favorite messaging platforms. You can't even imagine that today. Everything is a platform.

"Passive" in this case meant it didn't emit its own signals per se; active sonar emits an audible noise (which can easily be traced back to an origin), passive sonar just listens.

The actual solution is to tape it to an Amazon truck. I hear they've got some pretty serious monitoring tech in there to keep their drivers on the up-and-up.

First of all, it is not mandatory for everyone. Anyone with an income above an entry level IT job is exempt, but there are other exceptions as well.

Secondly it is not open to anyone. If you opted out of it at a young age you usually cannot come back (it's a bit more complicated). If you were not in the system for a couple of years and are over 55 you are out. So the US retiree will not get in, but the migrant with a low-incone that worked a couple of years in Germany has mandatory health care forever.

Thirdly, it is not a single state-run insurance company. There are many companies that provide mandatory health care and you can choose freely but you have to choose one if health insurance is mandatory for you. The companies differ in premiums and benefits but usually not by much. They also cannot refuse you if (and usually only if) health care is mandatory for you. The biggest ones are AOK, Barmer and maybe Tk. Bigger companies like BMW run their own ones for their employees.

Of course there are many companies that provide private health care. You can have private insurance in addition or, if you are exempt from mandatory health care, instead of the mandatory providers.

Everything is more complicated, but that is the rough idea.

> Do any dynamic webpage exists if no one requests it

Matter of perspective/semantics. A more general thought experiment in the same vein: Can you stand in the same river twice?

To answer the question: "does it [exist]?" you have to first define what a "it" (a dynamic webpage) is. My answer in response is "Is it cached?" if no, then no. Whether or not a person is involved at all is irrelevant imo. But I define a dynamic webpage by the existance of the DOM, not the services that generate it. I might make an exception if it can be proven those services are deterministic, which I wouldn't assume.
> The idea that we need to give grants to utilities that are ostensibly better as private institutions since private companies allegedly "drive innovation" is so nonsensical on it's face.

If the idea was we needed to give grants to drive innovation, something was missed. There's not really an unmet need for innovation in broadband delivery; the issue is running new wires broadband has costs, and in a lot of places, the ROI on running new wires for broadband doesn't justify doing it. The grants were supposed to induce large providers to do the runs in areas that weren't commercially viable; of course, it's easier to ask for grants and then do nothing with them, which is even better for the bottom line.

Really, we'd be a lot better off if last mile had mandatory line sharing (as the telecom act of 1996 provided), and if there was some cooperation from the major broadband providers to coalesce on some upgradable standard for it. A single fiber to the home built on GPON/10GPON/NG-PON2 could be leveraged by telco, cableco, and others, but since telco and cableco will only use their own lines and won't build unless there's demonstrable ROI, a GPON overbuild by a third network is doomed to poor financials: either the incumbents were right and you won't see the uptake, or the incumbents were wrong, will notice when you overbuild and will update their network and the 3rd network still won't get customer uptake.

Where I live, I only get VDSL2; the cable company comes to the corner of my property but won't serve my house. Municipal fiber is available, but only if I pay to run it above ground a couple miles to the drive, and I've also got to pay for undergrounding from the pole to my house. If I could get a few people together, some of the costs would be shared, but not a lot of people are willing to pay tens of thousands of dollars to get better internet, when they have a serviceable alternative now, and the monthly costs are likely more with muni fiber too. Of course, if the cableco or telco decide to roll out to my house, the installation fees will probably be minimal, because those companies can account for the costs in other ways than a public agency.
> what I've seen with the nhs is doctors avoiding care/exams in order to save ££

This happens in all healthcare. Depending on the insurance, and the incentives you either get loads of pointless investigations, or none.

There are three main problems with the NHS:

1) culture

2) no social care, meaning the the NHS is a medium stay care home

3) not enough staff (see 1)

(source, half of my friends are medical in one sort of another.)

For schools, objectively English schools are performing better than ever. https://wisevoter.com/country-rankings/education-rankings-by... (trying to find the specific link to the percentage improvement is hard)

However, without support this isn't going to last.

Private schools have the veneer of betterness because they are rich and have massive selection bias. For places like west sussex, there are an unusually high number of _shit_ private schools (the key is value added in the league tables)

I don't think C and x86 real mode with segment:offset addresses mix that well. Obviously there were compilers that did it (and then those "near" vs "far" pointers ...), but it's not great.

I think once you got to a flat 32 bit address space and more than 1mb of memory, C starts to make more sense.

The trove of information released around the time of the Snowden leaks are not all necessarily from Snowden. There was a second leak that everyone likes to attribute to Snowden. Most of the info on the gadgets that I had seen seem to all be from the second source. But, yeah, they had some pretty cool toys.
You're probably thinking along the lines of pointing a file level backup solution at the OneDrive folder, right? This isn't like that. They're commercial solutions that are configured as an Azure App, so they always work against the online data.

I know what you're saying though. If you took something like Arq Backup and pointed it at you're OneDrive folder, I don't know how it would work, but suspect it would fail with files-on-demand because it takes a VSS snapshot to get a stable point-in-time. I've never tested, but assume working off a snapshot doesn't trigger the download for files-on-demand and it would feel broken to anyone that doesn't realize what's going on.

That's a good observation, but unlikely to be related to what I'm seeing here.

I want the nav system to quit reminding me to turn when it notices that I have signaled. I want to pause navigation when I stop at the gas station or make some other stop (when not in gear, not gear change; the nav system should know when the vehicle has parked). Integration between the nav system and the rest of the car is table stakes at this point. It’s okay that you only want music. Some of us have higher expectations from our cars.

For example, the nav system should know when the battery charge or gas tank level is not enough to get to the destination.

I want the car to provide every bit of information it has to the phone so it can do smart things with it.

I rent a lot of cars in lots of places and I am amused at how poorly some manufacturers are handling this. Yes, treating the phone like an iPod works. That worked more than a decade ago.

(I was amused by your comment about Massachusetts. I am fully aware that Massholes have no respect for each other or the rule of law. Every time I return a rental car to Logan in one piece is a victory.)
Idk when you stopped using scp, but scp has been deprecated, and at least w/openssh, using sftp under the hood for years now. You probably have used it if you've scp'd since 2020.
Yes, as I said, many people have many opinions. I think you'd find you're in the minority on HN (and the Internet armchair lawyer's favorite cry of "Fair use! Fair use!" which means next to nothing the way it is typically used) but probably with the majority of copyright laywers.

However, it hasn't actually been settled. I've been watching. The question of whether you can bypass the matter of distribution by distributing a patch you definitely 100% solely own, but then the end-user is the one doing the combining, is not established.
Addendum: Most data has a fraction which is noise, or is dependent on information not completely captured by training data.

In both cases, training to a perfect fit of training data makes no sense.

Learning the particular noise in training data guarantees worse results on real data, where the noise will, by definition, be different.

The same is true for exactly reproducing data that depended on some unaccounted for information. Once applied, the unaccounted information in the training data will have no predictive quality.

So perfectly fitting data is usually a terrible idea, even when it can be done.

Training data captures a problem to be solved, as best it can. But it isn’t the same as the actual problem.

——

Best practice:

1. Use training data to optimize a model

2. Use separate validation data to approximate current generalization quality, and stop at (or revert to) the point where validation performance was best.

3. Use separate test data, not used for model design in any way, for a completely independent approximation of generalization performance.

Wide disparities between validation & test performance suggest problems. Ideally they should track each other fairly closely.

If not, more data is probably needed to characterize the problem more reliably.

NEVER just retrain, or tweak training parameters, until training & the validation stop produce good test performance. That means the test data was actually used in the design and is no longer an independent measure of performance!

——

Assuming you are having trouble getting similar validation & test performances:

A good way to ensure test performance is real, is to retrain the model in exactly the same way, several times, with different random divisions of training, validation & test data. If test results are good regardless of data divisions, then they are reliable.

Then you can eliminate the test performance dependency, by randomly selecting any of the models. Don’t choose the one with best test results!

That takes discipline!

In that case, the mean of all test performances is your best estimate of generalization performance, regardless of model.

(Throwing out models with the worst and best test performances is ok, it avoids outlier training failures or successes equally. Note I said “avoids”, not “eliminates”, since the worst & best test performances are estimates of generalization, not a measure of actual generalization.)
That can be read in two ways. Too long or no survivors of the process.
You enjoy your 3d/wk RTO, but please don't claim it's a perfect balance. To me more than 1 day a month is unacceptable at this point. Why would I want to go into downtown Seattle to do exactly what I could have done from my house deep out in the sticks of Kitsap County where rent is significantly lower for the space and it's nearly dead silent and - most importantly - I'm largely left tf alone? The only reason is social bonding with coworkers, so a day a month or so for that purpose seems sane, and worth the ferry ride over. More than that is incompetent management trying to own and control me and/or being ineffective at managing distributed/asynchronous teams, barring a few specific industries that require on-site development for some reason or another (embedded on highly-specialized hardware, perhaps).
