To me (Eastern Europe) this sounds like a standard stuff done by default when a building is renovated, due to energy savings. Done since long time ago, before heat pumps. Insulation also increases indoor comfort in the continental winters (prevents cold draft) and recently summers too. Seems both of these are coming to the UK, get used to it. For whom it's expensive either DIY or live in apartment instead.
Thanks for posting that. I read through it, it seemed like the main arguments against lab grown meat were:

1. It will take a lot of investment, it's unclear if it will produce enough to matter.

2. It might not get close to real meat in taste and texture

3. Lots of people wouldn't switch even if it tastes like real meat.

This was disappointing because I was expecting an analysis of the greenhouse gas contribution of lab grown meat. I didn't see anything (long article with lots of charts, I could have missed it). This is the key issue to me, will lab grown meat significantly help. I am fine with some meat substitutes, I want healthy and tastes good, lots of veg food is like that without trying to be meat.
Cheeky and it probably won’t work. I initially thought it’d be a crowdpooling thing where people could sign up to a pool of distributed/tunnelled copilot users. That would be cool… Lots of copilot subscriptions are sitting idle at any given moment.
Thanks! It was 9 years ago, so I'm hopeful they don't remember me. But I don't want to upset the new guard. I don't actually know where it was, either--I wasn't very familiar with my property then, and its the farthest, most inaccessible area.

I'm close to you geographically. We've had a brutal summer, as well. My spring & cistern ran out of water in July, so I've been on rainwater since then.

I'm not generally afraid of wasps or bees except at their home. I've never taken a sting from a random flyer out in a field or somewhere. The red wasps love colonizing my roofline, though. Those wasps have only hit me once, but they did get my ex-girlfriend twice, and her son once. Been years in either case.

The ones I'm most afraid of are under the propane tank lid. There's no way to get in there without pissing those guys off. So I just do it in the winter, haha.

Thanks for your comment, I enjoyed it and learned a few things.
>Almost all of Canada cannot qualify for a home at current housing prices.

How are you quantifying this? If this is true, how is it not reflected in some manner in prices? In other words, who are are the buyers propping up prices?

I'm not trolling, because if what you're saying is true it suggests that there is something fundamentally fraudulent about the Canadian housing market.
I like constraint based planning. What is the constraint here on making money through subs? Human beings/consumers? Time the humans have to spend reading? Talent of the writer?
Novel idea, and a tiny bit jealous I didn't think of it first. :)

But, there is no License and the nearest we have is a ToS, which is pretty poor.

What is the definition of "use"? What exactly am I potentially agreeing to?
The term you want to search for is "Telematic Control Unit." If there's a fuse for it (or if you can remove it entirely), that should take out most of this stuff. I found this thread[1] where people reported pulling the fuse for it in a Ford truck and the rest of the vehicle still working properly.

In good news, if your car is old enough and came with a 3G transmitter, data transmission won't work anymore since most 3G networks have been shut off [2]

If someone knows of a wiki somewhere that lists the years/car models and what types of tracking they actually perform (not just what's theoretically in their privacy policy) that would be much appreciated. It would be nice to know if, when I get in someone's car, the conversation might be recorded and sent somewhere. Or which car models are sending the recordings of the cameras installed on the outside (or inside?) that can be viewed by the employees and shared around the office (not theoretical) [3]

This is AI hype. the images in question are AI-generated, but are obviously propagandistic in nature, eg the statue of Liberty holding a rifle. That's not disinformation, it's just an opinion you don't like, similar to an editorial cartoon but with better rendering.

Disinformation would be manipulated or generated images passed off as authentic photographs of actual events, in order to create a false public perception that something happened, or happened in a way that's different from the truth.
> If dashcams are then so are Tesla's

But why do you think dashcams are illegal in the EU?

It's been ruled by multiple courts in the EU that dashcam recordings can be done legally because everyone is aware that they might be recorded in traffic at any time (e.g. by traffic cameras). That said, you have to comply with some restrictions. For example, you are probably not allowed to publish these recordings on Youtube. But they can definitely be used as legal evidence in court.

Secondly, I don't think Tesla's dashcam footage leaves the car in the EU (unless there is an accident, perhaps).

As far as I know, they don't even transmit or save any recording unless there is an accident or the user presses a button to save the footage into a USB drive inside the car.

In the accident scenario, it is quite clear that it's legal to keep this recording, because these can be used in court as legal evidence. As far as I know, there are many situations in which you are not allowed to film someone or something in the EU in general, but you are allowed to do so if you intend to use it as legal evidence, as that purpose trumps the other privacy concerns.

In the "user presses a button" scenario, it would be the user's responsibility to make sure that the recording is used legally. But again, if the user does not publish the recording and is only filming traffic, this is quite likely to be legal, especially if you only use it in reasonable scenarios (such as recording an accident in which you are not involved, or someone driving drunkenly).

It's not like anyone is going to be pressing the button every 10 minutes. And even if they were, it would be their responsibility to make sure it's legal to do so. It wouldn't be dashcams themselves that are illegal, but rather, what you do with them and the saved footage (if there's any).

Edit: I'm talking about the normal usage of the dashcams, not the Sentry mode functionality which has additional concerns (as you're not recording traffic, but rather people in the immediate surroundings of the car, when the car detects movement around it). As far as I know, courts have already decided that it's legal to have Sentry mode as well, but Tesla was required to warn users that they have to comply with data protection regulations when they use this functionality.

That said, I'm not sure what are the exact requirements for using Sentry mode legally.
Blocking people based on choices they make is a perfectly valid reason and a far cry from a random factor in what they share.

Lumping political opinions and choices with sexual orientation, race or otherwise is irrational at best and disingenuous at worst.
Is there an article explaining how it is like HN? I thought the algorithm here was upvotes plus some time constants and flagging mostly, what does "Let AI simplify articles, clarify terms, and help you do research" mean?

I like the idea of trying to produce decent composite review-level datasets of scientific papers if that's what you mean. I have way less objection to this than most AI because the results are supposed to be public and accessible in exactly this way.

Is it something revolutionary and amazingly useful like that, or is this more just deciding what to show you in a feed based on past history?
Yet a DJI done just managed to fly off my wishlist.
The streak thing is kind of patronizing.
> it's a lot of work, tbh. I tried it.

To block a user? It really isn't, it's in the dropdown on a users profile. It takes a couple clicks. Unless you mean to block every blue checkmark which goes back to my question about why react in this manner.

Why make a judgement call based on something arbitrary instead of the actual content of what someone posts.

To be clear, I don't necessarily equate this with a political ideology. I personally have blocked a lot of republicans and transphobic people because I don't want to see that shit. Sure a lot of them have had the blue checkmark but not all of them and I just can't imagine actually saying let's block something that in reality has nothing to do with any of that.
On account of the cold, I guess. And of the tundra there, kind of difficult to build lots of stuff on it, such as roads or railways. The dark during winter-time, too.

All this to say that that makes it difficult to potentially set up big human settlements in there.
> Lots of people wouldn't switch even if it tastes like real meat

This is the key part. If lab grown meat was a climate change solution, most people would shrug and keep eating regular meat.
What I find really interesting is that the man has so far not been found guilty. So he is factually innocent, yet still has seemingly all basic human rights stripped from him.

Now I know that "Innocent until proven guilty" is a euro-socialist concept which does not apply to the rightfully detained people in the glorious US of A, because the modern and infallible justice system spearheaded by its brillant and impartial police force would never even think of making any errors. Thats why the modern and comfortable prisons which are basically empty nearly never produce any repeat offenders when the few that are even incarcerated are released into society after their successful resocialization.

Oh wait, no. We are talking about the only industrialized country in the western world still clinging to a "But the majority says so" justice system of mass punishment and gleeful misstreatment - where you still can be legally shot or electrocuted or hanged when you dont look like someone "the people" like.

And the self-proclaimed upper-class of this country, stemming mostly from the area of said country that feels morally and ethically superior to the rest (Valleyfornians) still are gleefully happy in the comments that mistreatment worth of totalitarian regimes is applied to a white collar criminal.
> is it the capturing sound in particular you’re referring to, or do you feel the same about the (less frequent) other SFX ones?

Level end and level start are rare enough to not pay attention to, they're fine

Capturing the pieces is high enough note to not interfere with the music (and it sounds positive), but it gets boring(?) after a while

"Moving to an empty cell" on the other hand... I'd reserve it for errors, tbh. Something about that... sound of hitting a tin or glass, it feels unpleasant (and not neutral like simple maneuvering should be, imo)

Only now, after frantic replaying of sounds over and over, I understood that "wrong move" has different sfx from "move to an empty cell"... That's not obvious.
| Also, I think that returning piece to its own place shouldn't sound like an error (especially since it is highlighted same green color as valid moves. I'd make this silent probably)

> Would be great to understand a bit more too what aspect in particular of these sounds you find suboptimal (genre, volume, frequency, specific audio, etc.)

Volume seem fine: my mouse is louder than sfx, but less loud than the song

And perhaps last nitpick, but does the song change bpm? I feel the urge to synchronize moves with the catchy beat, but I feel like I can't apply rhythm from the beginning of the song to its end (and vice versa)
What do you mean? It works fine for me when I’ve tried it
Meanwhile, in Poland tech salaries are 3x-4x the GDP per capita, which is why many of software developers own more than one house/apartment.
I am just imagining this, or did it feel like 10-15 years ago breaking changes were a big deal, and companies went out of their way to provide an upgrade path. Now my flutter app from 3 months ago won't even compile.
No, shifts were slow on the Pentium 4 but still constant timing regardless of shift distance, and they weren't microcoded.
Yeah if we ever need to autoscale then I can see Kubernetes being useful, but I'd be surprised if this a problem most companies face.

Even when working at StackOverflow (serving 1B+ pages, 55TB /mo [1]) did we need any autoscaling solution, it ran great on a handful of fixed servers. Although they were fairly beefy bare metal servers which I'd suspect would require significantly more VMs if it was to run on the Cloud.

You're probably just using Python wrong, then. You can use a Jupyter notebook to incrementally develop and run pieces of code in seconds, and this scales to larger programs. With Rust, you have to re-compile and re-run your entire application every time you want to test your changes. That's a 5x productivity benefit by itself.
That’s pretty common everywhere in the USA now, even places where it’s clear the box has never ever been used.
Michael finally left Atlassian last year. Based on the Trello sale I have to imagine he was there mostly for fun not money.
> Or maybe dumber people wanted to get vaccinated as fast as smarter people but the process to get an appointment was just ridiculous so they gave up or procrastinated?

It couldn't have been easier where I am located. The vaccine mega site was so well run and organized, it was very impressive.
>So I agree that MBA students aren’t a high bar. It even does a decent job with software solutioning and architecture.

Architecture discussions are basically similar to qualitative and often hand wavy conjecture... it's no surprise LLMs excel at this.

Ironically the industry has it backwards. They think "architecture" is some hyper advanced thing. It's actually far easier than coding. You have less primitives to work with and you can handwave shit and get things wrong all the time in discussions.

The MBA bar is the same bar as software architecture discussions. Same arena, same level of hardness.

The bar I'm more referring to is coding. LLMs have not quite matched us completely in that bar yet. But it's not far off.
So the best thing to do is pre-emptively delete the recovery number from the account (providing you have alternative recovery options set up)?
> Given that people are already firing real human workers to replace them with worse but cheaper LLMs

That's impossible, LLMs are not that good. They might be firing people and crashing service quality.
You're right, the snark was unnecessary, but to be 100% honest no I don't feel that bad that the people that have been willfully participating in and profiting off a system that only works by screwing other people over may lose some money when the people getting screwed over have had enough and try to change things.

Just by living in the US and participating in our modern society here I am myself in a similar situation, and I'm not exactly a political activist dedicating my life to changing the status quo, but if and when the people we're exploiting to fund our current lifestyle start fighting for a better life I'm not gonna be telling them that they need to stop and think about the effect their demands would have on our lives.
I had this same argument with people over and over on HN while I was homeless. If you want to actually move there and live there, looking into those "cheap" homes frequently is a case of they aren't actually livable and need many thousands of dollars of work, among other issues.
Most of the 8-bit machines had quite square pixels (Spectrum, Commodore 64) but machines with multiple resolutions often had modes that doubled the horizontal res (C128, PCW, BBC Mode 3) giving rectangular pixels and by the time the 16-bits hit (Amiga, Atari ST) these modes were commonly the default and square pixels were relegated to "low-res" modes which were used less often.

We won't lab-grown-meat our way out of this. We won't electric-cars our way out of this. We won't nuclear-power our way out of this. And the overall tone is that any shift in a positive direction is still driving the getaway car, even if you aren't the one to actually pull the trigger for the crime.

If you want progress in anything, you have to give people a way to atone for their sins, even if the atonement doesn't undo all of the damage already done. Without that, the vast majority are going to ignore you, because the shock to the system is too high to do what needs to be done. People do not willingly start to play games they are nearly certain they will lose, they only continue those games once they are already playing them.
Yes, they stopped requiring phone numbers and opted instead for email confirmation sequence, which can be relatively easily automated.
I just don't believe he is restricted to bread and water. This violates common sense. Common sense suggests prisons want to limit the amount of money they spend on feeding the prisoners. Meat is expensive. So I would expect there would be plenty of potatoes and other cheap vegetables, but only a limited amount of meat. But Sam's lawyers are saying the reverse is true.

This article highlights the importance of making sure jails are as inhumane as possible by default for everyone. Making any effort to improve them systemically could benefit one specific egregious, obviously guilty idiot grifter, and if that happened we would lose the most important thing: laughing at his condition.

If you think about it, the decades of treating prisoners as less than human were actually justified as a sandbox to perfect misery in the run up to FTX, and the decades of continuing the practice will be good because that one guy will probably still be there.
Oh come on - the wealth realized here wasn't gained by building more for everyone, but by making sure others don't build their homes so the exiting owners gain wealth without actually creating anything.
While the piece is thought-provoking, I think that the author would do well to substantiate their claims. Even an interview with some hypothetical "side hustlers" to understand their motivations would be better than guessing why they are on the site.

It kind of seemed like they were saying "it is [or will soon be] unsustainable to try and make a living out of being a Substack writer," but I would want to know how many people enter the platform with that goal in the first place.

Twitch, YouTube, Soundcloud, good-old-fashioned blogging, I'm sure you could name several other pursuits that are in a similarly unprofitable position for the average content creator. I would wager most people don't start out trying to make a living on these platforms.

Maybe the point is that there are people who are just scraping by on these platforms who will soon have the rug pulled from under their feet when consumers wise up to how much money they're throwing away to subscriptions? That didn't come across too clearly to me, though.
Here’s an extension of your second point:

If you’ve paid for Twitter I don’t care what you have to say.
That is actually one of the weaker articles on acoup. But maybe it is the beginning of a series, because whatever weapons an army uses, those work in an evironment defined by tactics and doctrine. And those three influence each other.
LLMs might be better than random people at random tasks, and certainly memorised more trivia. But I never heard of a LLM surpassing subject experts in their field. On top, even the simplest task is unreliable - say, summarisation or translation. There is almost zero autonomy or ability to recover from unexpected situations.
You say you’re a consultant and yet link to a definition of a sole contractor.

Again, I’m talking about consulting, not contracting. Those are different. If you don’t know the difference then here’s a definition of a consultant https://www.lawinsider.com/dictionary/consultant

Now, to a layman, these may look identical. To a consultant, these are vastly different things.

You are not paid on output, you are paid on outcome.

Example: I can spend 10 days consulting a startup board on how to do something and make $50,000.

I can spend 10 days coding for client X and make $5,000 tops as a contractor.
Cool, thanks! It took longer than I care to admit. They're redrawn on the fly and it also means the 2x and 3x options can render it without upscaling blur.
Use Mastodon is like saying 'Use Linux'. The practical advice would be 'Use Ubuntu'.

I can safely say that 'Use Mastodon.world' because they have a top team of volunteers, moderators and trustworthy admins. With a $150ish/month server, Cloudflare CDN and other such features, it's a secure and fast over provisioned server with a good community vibe.

Mastodon.world is one of the most popular Mastodon instances. An act of registration innately means trusting the admin team. You gotta characterize and 'sell' the admin/mod team because that's the main differentiator from servers (including Twitter and Threads).
Maybe, metaphorically. I’ve always found The Matrix’s take on this pretty compelling:

“I’d like to share a revelation that I´ve had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species, and I realized that you’re not actually mammals.

Every mammal on this planet instictively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way can survive is to spread to another area.

There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus.

Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet.”

(I’m sure the idea didn’t originate in The Matrix, but that’s where my 11 year old brain got exposed to it.)
Right, and I'm trying to figure out an intuition for what a lot of traffic is. My current intuition said 100M bookings per day has a decent chance of being a lot for sqlite and even postgres depending on how it's distributed, so you'd want to get more specific in your reasoning
By this metric, anyone who brings their homemade lunch to the office is of less economic value. Anyone who brews their own cup of tea is of less economic value. Anyone who who has a shorter commute is of less economic value than someone else with a longer commute.
