Yep, our construction sector still hasn't recovered since the crash. Combine that with some poor government policy, an increase in construction costs, as awkward planning rules (almost anybody can object to anything for almost any reason), and you have the shitshow we see today.

I emigrated earlier in the year to Denmark, so while the actual pastures are less green, the rental prospects that are much nicer. It took me almost no time at all to find a rental close to my new commute (I prefer remote work, but in this case I'm dealing with actual hardware, and so physical presence is genuinely beneficial and often necessary—I can still work remotely when I need to if I have a delivery, appointment, or something I can't miss but not worth taking a whole day of leave over; and... this stream of thought comment is straying rapidly off topic, so I'll cut it off here).
Flagging this is wrong.
It needs to be discussed. Interesting topic.

The vibrant threads show many people have opinions.

Please unflag.
Ironically, this annoys me because I can't use any of my Apple 14 pro cases.
they've been playing this trick with top-fuel dragsters for decades - the "speed" was measured far before the end of the course. I think it was to keep the speeds below 300mph to help with track insurance.

I only stopped using the 8+ because it got destroyed, and "upgrading" to a newer used one was almost the same price. Otherwise I'd still be rocking that touch button.
I can believe that. Perhaps network carriers will just place Starlink terminals with solar cells everywhere. Not having to do fiber or have sufficient connectivity in a mesh might make the whole thing fantastic!
not all virions are equal.

the viral assembly process, and the RNA replication process is error prone.

many copies, of the covid virion, are incapable of cell entry or reproductive infection, due to defects in manufacture.
As stated inside the text and contrary to the title, adipocytes live ~ 10 years.

So you what is stated in this publication is true during the next 10 years after weight loss, but false after.

Anyway weight loss involves having a change of life style, so why bother if those cells are still there if the weight goal is reached?
Damn give it a minute. All this LMM/GPT stuff just blew up in the last 9 months.
This. I found DRF gets very confusing with all the abstraction for complicated stuff. For simple APIs, it's very nice (I used it on govscent.org). SidewaysData uses Ninja and I love it so far.
You're conflating build times and deploy times. A low friction deployment might take a couple minutes end-to-end for something that "builds" in a few seconds once the CI is booted up. Sure, that's fine for hobbyist stuff that is always being edited by the web developer and nobody else. The point is a proper backend editing experience brings so much to the table. Once upon a time, my promotion was delayed because the team lead I answered to decided to use a SSG instead of a proper CMS, and non-technical stakeholders were not happy about the limitations.
> I can look at pictures of Machu Picchu on Google Maps but the experience of being there is so much better (from what I hear).

Right, but you can't even look at pictures of these other planets because we haven't gone at all.

And if your choice was between spending $4T to go to Macchu Picchu yourself, or look at pictures on Google Maps for free - you would almost certainly not spend $4T "for the experience".

The reality is - Nasa estimates it would cost $4B for another manned moon mission. India just sent a lunar probe to the moon for about 1/100th that price.

Even if we could send someone to Saturn - the price would be more prohibitive than the chemistry.

If it costs 100-1000 times more to send humans than robots - it's probably not worth it.
I've had a specific kind of dry dates in India in childhood. They taste pretty good. Unlike the "wetter" ones (which are not really wet, but with more water content), you can keep them in your mouth for a while, thereby getting the taste for a longer time. They are lighter brown in colour than the fresh ones.

There are many examples in the software space.
> didn't Apple commit in 2012 to sticking with Lightning for something like ten years after people complained about them switching connectors frequently?

I think it was less "switching connectors frequently" and more having to replace an entire ecosystem of devices, there were a ton of accessories with hardwired 30-pins which people had to throw out in the switch to lightning.

But yes, they did basically promise they would stick to it for a decade.
The Pros do use USB3? Or are you talking about the regular 15? I still agree with you, but unfortunately the vast majority of regular iPhone users aren’t transferring large files over a cable and won’t care.
I'd argue you have to review code generated by an LLM to an even greater degree than that generated by a human programmer because you can to some degree presume that the human writer intends the code to be functional. Whereas, with an LLM, it might just spit out some garbage that it doesn't even intend to be compile-able. In my experience, LLM-written code doesn't pass a threshold where I believe it's ready to force another human being to review it (via Pull Request review.) The LLM generates what it generates, I rewrite what it generated, and then I create the Pull Request. If I can't understand what the LLM generated, as might be the case where the human programmer is not fluent with the language, then having the LLM generate code was a pointless step anyway.
Great work! This will actually be something very helpful to a lot of people!

I am curious how you gathered so much user input in the short time this project has been alive ? Where did you prospect for more users to input ? and especially, how do you validate that the inputs are valid and not fake inputs and/or spams ?
Uh, Telsa plaid does 0-60 in 1.9 seconds
The vast majority of people aren't transferring data to and from their phone via USB cable.
It really isn't a trick question. If your needs are 100% satisfied through wireless, why would you ever care? I suspect for the overwhelming majority of iPhone users, even if the wired option was infinitely fast they would never have used it. We're long past the days of an iPhone suckling on iTunes.

The exception to this -- and there are exceptions -- tend to be "pro" users. If you're actually using the iPhone for video production in any way, USB 2.0 is a brutal limitation, and has long been a noted annoyance when you're transferring massive video files. Lucky for those people they'll be Pro buyers and will enjoy USB 3 (and maybe WiFi 6E? Not sure if this was delivered).
You're at least partially correct since they require a MFI approved cable to reach USB 3 speeds. Otherwise you're limited to USB 2 speeds.
Let me give a contrarian argument. I dont think it is awful to have sso reserved only for enterprise customers. I think enterprise customer who are going through compliance will definitely have to but into that tier therefore.

If you think you need SSO and but you do not have the budget for upgrading to their enterprise tier, may be you are not the right customer that they are targeting to sell. It is not you, it is them.
I already have a couple 3D videos that I’ve recorded. It’s one of the most powerful aspects of VR computing. I’m hopeful that they continue to iterate on 3d photos and video.

It’s a space that needs standardization and more big players need to be there.
Some people are probably sad about the mute switch, which is understandable, but I for one am really excited about the action button
Why run faster if you are already comfortably number one? It makes sense to focus on something that everyone wants improvement on: battery life.

Does Microsoft have a reply for declarative UIs, e.g. React / SwiftUI / Jetpack Compose?

I had thought XAML was it and was ahead of the game, but it's kind of a different approach.

All the new ones define their declarative UI as inline source code.
Woah, fairly confusing. Looks like the base Pro gets the same "pro camera" according to this: https://www.apple.com/iphone/compare/
But the zoom options are different so it's clearly not the same.
And to contrast, Godot's GDScript has been great for me so far. I've been hacking at a personal project for a couple of days now and I feel right at home in the language, which feels right at home in the engine.
Currently OpenPipe allows you to capture input/output from a powerful model and use it to fine-tune a much smaller one, then offers you the option to host through OpenPipe or download it and host it elsewhere. Models hosted on OpenPipe enjoy a few benefits, like data drift detection and automatic reformatting of output to match the original model you trained against (think extraction "function call" responses from a purely textual Llama 2 response) through the sdk.

Longer-term, we'd love to expand the selection of base models to include specialized LLMs that are particularly good at a certain task, e.g. language translation, and let you train off of those as well. Providing a ton of specialized starting models will decrease the amount of training data you need, and increase the number of tasks at which fine-tuned models can excel.
The two most obvious answers are

A) Not everyone buys phones at the same time you do and if the only iPhone on sale 2 weeks ago was the iPhone 12, they’d have a lot of unhappy customers (and used / returned phone) when they released the 15.

B) Product iteration, the same reason (and benefits) why so many software devs stopped rolling 2-3 years of updates into single big releases.
For an apple user on HN, you're expecting them to act like Oneplus.

Apple doesn't (usually) do something first, but they often do new things well.

LLMs have been mainstream for what, nine months? They aren't going to go all-in on new LLM features that quickly. And if/when they do, it'll just be labelled Siri with new capabilities.

Satellite communications is incredible complex, and, I expect, difficult. Hell, for SOS you need to pause and point your phone in a particular direction. The scale just isn't there.

Spatial video was announced, which is exactly what you are asking for in bullet two.

Like, I don't get what you're saying. By the way, we're in the 2020s now. The 2030s are... ah, six years away.
You can't hear AAC compression artifacts. Or do you have an ABX test?

And if you could, it'd be balanced out in outdoors use cases by the lack of wired audio artifacts, namely cable telephonics sending walking impacts into your ears.

Anyway, AirPods do support lossless audio now. (Well, next year.)

Those requirements tend to be present for new construction, but old buildings get "grandfathered in" and are exempt. The apartment I currently rent has essentially no insulation. There's the outer (wood) cladding, an air gap, then the lath & plaster inner walls. Single-pane windows. In Buffalo, NY.
If you want to test locally, you can just hit the "play" button in the Unity editor and it all happens pretty fast. We use this for building something you can install on an iOS/android device, or for putting up on the web for webgl.
I was literally about to buy a 14 last fall, then the rumor about USB-C came out and I decided to wait another year just for that

Edit: Lol, eternally fascinated by what causes some people to downvote on here
I'd have to concur... like at a time where I thought the diminishing marginal returns for CPUs on computers had really kicked in (like, there's only so much speed I need for web browsing), the M1s came along and made me go "holy shit", even while still, in fact, web browsing.
Any suggestions? I see Best Buy has some open box minis for $630 and there are plenty of 3rd party refurbs for around $500. Feels like I'd have been better off buying a brand new one for $600 yesterday.

>That would be dangerous for many rural areas.

Not at all, I live in a rural area.

>For some remote regions, blizzards taking out the electrical grid is a real concern.

Effectively every fossil fuel powered heater being installed requires electricity for the fans to work.

>You need a local mechanism to generate heat and an on-site propane/oil tank is the only realistic option.

A backup generator that runs on propane. You'd need a backup generator to begin with even for propane heating, so just go full electric with a heat pump.
"USB4" is really thunderbolt 3 with a few compatibility tweaks. As such, it's a very different beast from USB3 (which is much closer to the USBs that preceded it): more like "external PCIe" than "USB".
I just want them to stop treating those of us who have known this for years and opted for pseudoephedrine to be treated as if we were drug manufacturers/users by forcing ID checks at a pharmacy.
Yes, yes I do. Especially when I'm using my phone for a long period of time.
Samsung Galaxy S8. It's affordable, the battery is good considering how much I use it. I don't need a lot of gigs so it works for me. If it kicks the bucket anytime soon I'll get a Moto.

Occam was based on Hoare's CSP rather than Lambda Calculus and the relationship between your average Common Lisp program and Lambda Calculus is pretty distant.

Edit: Occam is probably closer to Go than Lisp.
What you did there… I see it.

A 2 kW air to air heat pump with a SCOP of 4 is about 2.2 kUSD installed here in Norway (Samsung Nordic Extreme 09 varmepumpe AR09BXFYDWKEE). This is reckoned to be big enough to heat room of 170 m2. Quite a lot of people here have one air to air heat pump on the ground floor and another for the upper floor.

Even down at -30°C it has a heat transfer capacity of 2.5 kW.

You didn't say how much your has heater costs so I have no idea how this compares but it seems reasonably priced to me.
> It should be noted that, while the subject of this paper is silly, the analysis actually does make sense. This paper, then, is a serious analysis of a ridiculous subject, which is of course the opposite of what is usual in astrophysics

I wonder how this compares to other respiratory viruses, such as various flu strains?

Shedding a lot of virus early, before the immune system has had a chance to develop and mount an attack, seems like what one would expect. But not sure if all viruses are like this?
We did a new build and the planners were a bunch of fossils who were horrified by the idea we didn't want a mouldy pile of concrete blocks. After we built it, the neighbours marveled at how warm a timber home could be - and beautiful.

We ended up moving to the Netherlands but remarkably there were so many homes for rent compared to Ireland it felt easy. I'm in a 5 bedroom house a 20 minute train ride from Amsterdam Centraal for about the price of a 4 bed semi-d in Tullamore. And I don't need a car here.

Ireland's a mess.
Yes, the spec sheet for the non-Pro 15 says it transfers at USB2 speed.
I don't remember the video, but it was pointed out by Sean Carroll that the idea of BB is not fleshed out. Does one need only neo-cortex, or full brain, or just few control centers of attention within neo-cortex to be called as BB.
Use wireless charging?
Heh, ah yes, pdf: the MOST sekure file format :-D

But seriously, depending on the attack vector in mind, using those "browser over VNC" technologies may address a lot of that risk if the objective is to read content without risking the local workstation running arbitrary code
I’d choose an engine without this silly install based scheme. Which is what I expect most hobbyists and small developers to do now.

The other route if the game was F2P or ad supported would be to use a similar process to the big guys and soft-launch to judge the product and monetization on a smaller scale.
That sounds like a “your brother problem”. Especially that an often touted negative of lightning cables is that the only movable part is inside the socket, which is harder to replace — so it makes even less sense why they could go wrong. My guess: he is buying cheap Chinese ones that have lower quality and you compare it to some higher quality ones.

As many people can vouch for: lighting cables can easily work for many many years without any trouble whatsoever.
> Other engines does it just fine,

I'm not sure that's comparable or even true. No other proprietary engine has as even remotely comparable market share in the freemium/Ad/IAP-funded/shovelware mobile game market.

Also Epic isn't trying to pay for 8000 employees (especially not just with their engine revenue) or service billion in debt accrued from (possibly unnecessary) acquisitions. It feels to me that Unity pushed themselves into a corner by increasing and don't really have any choices but to try and maximize their revenue any way they can.

e.g. Epic seems to have about 4000 employees and compared to Fortnite Unreal seems to almost be just a side gig for them.

Also let's be fair a 5% royalty would be much more likely to scare off their best paying customers. And looking at their current leadership and overall philosophy I find it easy to understand why they might not care that much what will happen to some indy/small developers who can't afford/don't want to pay for Pro or have more than 1 million users but can't generate more than ~$0.2 - 0.5 in profit per install.
Static sites are a PITA when you need to add certain functionality. It's an optimization. Why start with such a crazy optimization when you can just put cloudflare etc in front of it?

You can buy a copy of Vincent van Goghs Starry Starry Night for a few dollars, totally legally. There is no scarcity here.

The only meaningful difference between it and the one in the Museum of Modern art is that it was painted by the Van Gogh directly. And sure it has a hefty price tag attached, but everybody who buys a copy buys it because they like it.

Growing up music was rare, but with access to Spotify I can listen to so much more music. That has not meant I appreciate music less. Sabatons "Primo Victoria" is still going to pump me every time I hear it and Bethovens ninth is as uplifting as it ever was, no matter how many times I listen to it.
It's charging off your phone battery which to me is crazy considering how hard it is to replace the iphone battery

I hope this is true. Even with a Keyboard and mouse and I can browse Internet with it would be great.
Performance wasn't the issue; mono DB was actually fast enough. Multiple teams' services sharing tables became effectively a fragile API between them with hidden dependencies. Small new business requirements were causing too many breaking changes, and the org relied too heavily on a few experts who understood it all. Plus, schema changes were behind a ton of red tape since they affected everyone.

Also if by "decoupling data and code" you mean decoupling data from code, that's not the goal. It's to decouple one team's data from another team's data, and to properly abstract it.

The only reason our mono-DB even lasted this long was because previously, very few requirements were changing over time. So when people say their big org is monolithic, I can believe it. It works in some scenarios, but probably not most.
I have none at all. So I'm not so happy about this. It means I will have to throw away lots of good lightning cables I've amassed over the years. Thanks EU, I guess.
The regular 15. And 3.0 also supports much faster charging.

Maybe most won't care, but I still think it's disgusting and pathetic for a company this size with products this expensive to cheap out by using USB 2.0.
Not every marketing piece is going to hit with all viewers. I'm sure some people felt emotionally affected by the opening piece about people's lives that were saved by their watch. It was just a very strange tone/vibe to open a product announcement. It's like the Sarah Mclachlan SPCA piece. It's not the thing you play when you want to pump someone up. Obviously the entire opening portion was to assuage consumer guilt in buying new about to be discussed. It just didn't sit well with me at all. So yes, in this case, the marketing was bad and failed for this member of the audience.
You should take better care of your things. A leather case every 3 months is unbelievably wasteful. This type of careless behavior is killing our planet.
USB-C supporting writing ProRes video and photo files directly to external storage is something I did not see coming.

My girlfriend in High School and college was taking "Secretarial Science" like her mother but took Cobol for a laugh, maybe because I was taking every other language. Right out of college she got a job as the bum she married finally finished college on her nickel.
It’s a shame because the UX of controller configuration on iOS/macOS/tvOS is the best I’ve seen outside of consoles. Even Windows, the king of gaming, doesn’t do as well with configuration of Microsoft’s own Xbox controllers (let alone those of competing companies). Instead on Windows Steam is required for any level of sanity with controllers.
Apple, I don’t want a giant phone that I have to carry in my hands. Make another mini version that costs less than $2k and you can have my money. I already have an iPad or several laptops that I can do “big” things on.

I'm starting to buy into these rumors that Apple might buy Disney, because they're doing the same wooden performances as the kids on Disney Channel. Lots of weird hand motions.
Ooooh more info please! Which phone? And what's the experience like? Are you using it for development at all or is it more things like word? I wanna know all about this setup, since I'm definitely going to need to upgrade my phone soon.
I think there is space in the IoT market for a micro-watt platform that harvests energy from the environment. Always on connectivity is silly if it sits idle most of the time (think monitoring systems that take a temperature and moisture readings every 15 minutes), especially if it can communicate via a low power/low bandwidth channel.

I build a system for an agriculture client like this with each node only having a very small solar panel (6in^2) and some super capacitors that kept it reporting data throughout the night. We even used performance metrics from the voltage being output by the solar panel to measure how cloudy it was. These devices reported via LoRa to a base station setup that was connected to a PoE system so we just ran a single Cat-6 STP line to a pole in the middle of the property.
Do you think that's likely?

I don't.
I don't think there are 800+ million WordPress blogs. WordPress is used for lots and lots of websites that are not blogs at all.
