tax is applied on everyone in proportion they release CO2. "Poor" can move to public transit or optimize their routes. What do you propose?
Because it's a feature vanishingly few users actually use. They have all the numbers, it's a very small niche of people that actually transfer things by cable. Most of that niche is photographers and videographers that shoot using their phone. For those people a Pro or Pro Max is non-negotiable already because it has the better camera. So they get the fancy camera and the fancy transfer speed. They even address this IN THE ANNOUNCEMENT VIDEO.
I would look at Elon Musk when he is at his best, at his worst I don’t know if he is Caligula, Nero or King Zhou.

Note plenty of richies invest in projects that don’t really go anywhere like “Breakthrough Starshot”. Myself if I had Musk’s money I don’t know if I’d rather build one of these

The only way Apple could make them report the vulnerability is if the bounty was not far from the amount of profit that NSO is making with their software.
2-Minute Apps: Rapid Full-Stack App Development as a Subscription
Mixing tabs and spaces is a TabError in Python 3, so this would definitely error today.
I actually prefer self checkout, especially when the UX is reasonably good (Target). I definitely subtract points for unavialable (Home Depot, Walmart) or non-functioning (Chipotle) tap to pay.

But the worst self checkout experience by far is McDonalds. Why does it take ~100 taps on the screen to order three items? Whoever designed that UX should be working the cash register, not designing UX's.

Edit: just successfully used tap to pay at Chipotle, so I guess they finally fixed that.
How We Built a Streaming SQL Engine
Importing 500 skilled Taiwanese workers seems like a no-brainer. I don't understand this mentality that those wouldn't count as "US jobs". They would massively lift the local economy.

The article also seems incredibly short-sighted, but since it's coming from an Apple clickbait farm that's not too surprising.
No, it's lossy. It's an event model at a fixed data rate. You can only do so many things sequentially, even if you could represent any possible musical concept as a MIDI event. So even if you're not sticking to note-on, note-off, it's still extremely lossy.
Between this and the DIY radio telescopes and wifi radar, maybe we will have a real tricorder some day.
Sorry, but please state a source for that claim.

Now, I'm not much better, but from what I recall crime in general is going down - but there are some notable exceptions (gang crime related specifically).
I'm not the GP, but I've driven a lot through western Europe, including Germany. There's two break patterns when driving a gasoline powered vehicle that I'd really miss if I had an EV:

1) More frequent but short breaks, e.g. literally a 3-4 minute break every hour. Just enough to fill up the tank, for someone to run into the bathroom etc.

2) If doing a long break (e.g. lunch with the family) do a 2-3 minute stop at a gas station before orafter, but for the stop itself drive 5-10 minutes off the main road to unwind somewhere for an hour on more.

E.g. I was recently driving through the Rheine valley, and had lunch with this view, which is a 10 minute drive from the closest gas station: https://goo.gl/maps/VVXTWQDkc2F48UHe8

If I had an EV I'd have been stuck with the family in some uninviting car park at that gas station instead, and instead of a nice lunch having to pick through overpriced gas station fast food options.
Bluetooth is also non-ionizing. The frequency is close frequency to WiFi: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth#Health_concerns

Do you flag other submissions where companies are called out for minor fuckups? :-)
It sounds like you had a judgement against you. Judgements don't go away, and are enforceable. You probably could have had the judgement vacated.
Again, can you explain the butterfly? If not, find Axioms that can, or live in darkness, rejecting all understanding of universal truth. Those are the options.

Your mortal misgivings about a divine message are irrelevant. Consider: If, somehow, you knew for an absolute fact that the creator of the universe, the one who engineered everything about you, the world, the cosmos, "science", ethics, morals, and all else besides, said "women shouldn't speak in churches instead they should ask their husbands back home", would you tell them you know more about right and wrong than them? Or would you consider that there might be nuance to the topic and try to learn more about what they mean and why they say it? There's a ton of context to Corinthians you've left out. I'm sure you know that and are just being pretend-dumb so I won't go into it. And the world as we know it wouldn't exist without slaves, and the rejection of slavery as we know it wouldn't exist without Christians. So I'll call that a wash. If anything, the introduction of Christ led to the abolition of slavery, so that'd be a +1. All your "science" did was come up with bogus justifications for it based on skull measurements. Can you think of any of your "science" today that is focused on taking irrelevant measurements and then going to the public with creative spins on them to justify horrific practices? I can!

But I haven't rejected any science that allows us to communicate. In fact, I haven't rejected any science at all. What I've rejected is the pseudo-"science" that has become increasingly popular whereby an explanation is proposed, no relevant tests are (or can be) done, no relevant observations are (or can be) made, tons of aspects of the question are left unanswered and unanswerable, and yet people still decide it is the answer. Always by assuming that no divine intervention has happened.

Indeed the entire "historical-scientific" belief structure must be predicated on faith in lack of divine intervention to make any sense at all. It would be far better referred to as the faith-based religion of "Scientology", if that wasn't already taken.

But since your so persistent, what is it about the story of the Ark that you believe the all powerful creator of the universe would be unable to actualize?
And USB 3 is almost 2 decades old. How hard is it really to implement?
So what? If you need it, now you can build it. As a hobbyist you don't need certified gear, you need gear.
As a counterpoint, I live in the US and I use credit cards exclusively. Why?

* Amex with 6% cashback on groceries

* Visa with 5.25% cashback on gas

* Visa that adds 2 years or more to manufacturers warranty.

* Credit cards with promotions that end up paying for my family trips around the country and abroad. E.g airline miles or transferable points that are equivalent to $500-$1500 per promotional period

I see no point in using debit cards except for the rarest event of me getting some cash out of ATM
The point wasn't "you can get rich selling this", but "you can save $$$ building this yourself as a hobbyist".
Blueprints allow you to tinker with the architecture a couple of times before locking in and moving. In C++ you are much less inclined to do so.
Sure I'm not saying that. If you give away the R&D for free and don't seek profit you can build it much cheaper.

But self-calibrating is still something else. Unless I pay some lab with traceable calibration to do it for me I can't use the results to certify other equipment for example. I think it's more like insurance, sure the unit cost is low but you pay extra so in case the lab screws up they pay for the mess.
That's a meaningless number. When was the last time you saw anyone even attempting to transfer hundreds of gigabytes of data using their phones? Do data hoarders now see their phones as some ideal NAS or what?
Transforming Kubernetes Management
It really depends on what you're configuring. I like TOML for most cases since it has the right balance of simplicity and expressiveness. JSON could in theory support everything that TOML can - but it can be jarring to look a large config file with just brackets/parenthesis to demarcate blocks. Even YAML finds its niche applications. I don't think JSON or TOML are good substitutes for YAML in case of Kubernetes. Kubernetes needs a single format that can act as a config language (in case of spec) and as a serialization format (in case of state). YAML fulfills that without being overly verbose. We probably shouldn't get too attached to a config language.
I don't know if supermarkets etc. have made the self-checkout scale less fussy (or maybe there isn't always one any longer?) but tossing a personal bag or two in the bagging area hasn't been a problem for me in ages. That said, checking out more than a modest quantity of mostly barcoded items is slow and tedious. The workflow is pretty much setup to fill up maybe a bag or two from a hand basket.
I've thought this for as long as I can remember. People overcomplicate the config file and try to make the one config file to rule them all.

I like TOML, I started to look into using Hugo over Jekyll though and the TOML seems weirdly abstract and difficult to follow.
Absolutely, you are correct.
hehe no mention of the new iphone 15
Yeah, there's precious little description of their planned/actual games here. Just mobile game jargon like "match-2", "conversions", "hypercasual", etc. My read is that if they were successful they would have been another publisher flooding instagram with adverts where you supposedly have to save some lady from the the cold by doing puzzles (but the actual game a tedious base-building slog with MTX for every possible action).

No offense to the author, but we have enough of these. Thanks.
Its overly engineered for sure, but i designed an HTAuth setup that doesnt use files, for openresty. Instead it uses lua and a database (mysql in my case) to manage users and passwords.

Overengineered, but i dont have to muck with auth files, and can keep it up to date from other sources

Location data is specifically covered and Musk was not using the location data for 'goods and services' but instead in violation of privacy rights was using this information for geopolitics instead:

The design of the lightning plug is vastly superior to their other choices at the time, namely the 30pin dock connector they had been using and the only other obvious choice micro usb B, micro usb b is the most cursed connector in recent memory. It's fragile as fuck, I don't know how many of those fucking plugs I've replaced for friends in devices of all kinds.

The lightning plug design on the other hand is as close to bulletproof as you can get for the size and number of connections. The only time someone has ever come to me with a problem with a lightning connector it's been quickly resolved by taking out some very fine tweezers and pulling a bit of lint or dirt out of the female connector.
So US wants Assad, Kim Jong Un, Khamenei and the Xi at the helm as well.

That's illuminati-level ridiculous.
We’ll see. Per an other user, the iPad Air is capable of full usb4 / TB but is software locked to 10Gb for segmentation, so that’s hardly unimaginable. Especially if they consider modern transfer speeds to be related to direct ProRes streaming.
It's not even just the "unexpected item in bagging area" factor, it's that there's often way to little staff around so you spend >5 minutes waiting on any issue, sometimes more than once ("unexpected item" and then later alcohol/age check). They have exactly the same machines in Ireland and New Zealand (just with a different colour scheme, depending on the store) and while they're still crap, they're significantly less frustrating to use than Tesco or Asda in the UK because there's usually enough staff. That's been my experience with it anyway.
You are saying this as we are having one of the best years in gaming in a long time, and it includes both indies and AAA.

Baldur's Gate 3, Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, some amazing remakes (Metroid Prime: Remastered, Resident Evil 4, Dead Space), Street Fighter 6 (which was loved by the community upon release unlike SF5, which had to be iterated on for a bit of time before becoming decent), Hi-Fi Rush, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, Pikmin 4, Armored Core 6, Blasphemous 2, Star Wars: Jedi Survivor. I even ommitted quite a few that are a bit controversial or not "amazing", like Starfield or Hogwarts Legacy.

And that's only off the top of my head, with a good chunk of the year left to go with hitters like Alan Wake 2, Cyberpunk rework+expansion, Spiderman 2, MGS Collection vol1, and Cities Skylines 2 on the horizon.

There is no shame in losing interest in gaming, but claiming that "most AAA titles are so shit lately", all while I don't even remember the last time we had a year so chock full of amazing games, is a bit questionable.
I think you've confused the vast market's forced acceptance of mediocre because that's what's available with their wanting the mediocrity. Proof of that is seen with the emergence of places for affordably licensed royalty free options. The quality of production and styles today compared to those from the 90s/00s is amazing. There's been a few options on these sites that I would play in a set as DJ. This ain't yo momma's needle drop selections.
It's not a given that the performance would suffer. For instance, you could use self-checking methods like cycle consistency or back translation in a sequence of prompts. Another option is to generate multiple answers and then use a voting system to pick the best one. This could actually boost the LLM's accuracy, although it would require more computation. In various tasks, there might be simpler methods for verifying the answer than initially generating it.

Then you have techniques like the Tree of Thoughts, which are particularly useful for tasks that require strategic planning and exploration. You just can't solve these in one single round of LLM interaction.

In real-world applications, developers often choose a series of prompts that enable either self-checking or error minimization. Alternatively, they can involve a human in the loop to guide the system's actions. The point is to design with the system's limitations in mind.

On a side note, if you're using vLLM, you can send up to 20 requests in parallel without incurring additional costs. The server batches these requests and uses key-value caching, so you get high token/s throughput. This allows you to resend previous outputs for free or run multiple queries on a large text segment. So, running many tasks doesn't necessarily slow things down if you manage it correctly.
Exactly.

Additionally, the US is NOT at war. Congress has the power to declare war and it has not done so. No civilian should be forced to help kill people and start wars on the other side of the globe if they don’t want to.

The US government has the ability to print as much money as they want and build their own satellite constellation, or rent/buy them.
Show HN: AI Analysis of Bryan Cantrill's Rust Talks [video]
Hi HN,

Matt here, founder of https://flowch.ai

I just added the ability to add transcripts of YouTube videos to FlowChai, and was pleased with how well it works.

In this demo I show how easy it is to take some YouTube videos on a subject and then easily use the content of those videos for efficient research, content creation and more.

Happy to get feedback or answer questions.
I much prefer the handheld scanner method, in which you scan while you shop. This used to be more widespread in the UK before self checkout took over. I seem to remember it being launched in the late 2000s?

Advantages:

1) Your scanning labor is spread out across your entire visit

2) No need to unload and bag everything at the end

3) You can see a running price total

Is that last point the reason why supermarkets moved away from them? Because they don’t want you to budget in realtime?
I'm a programmer and I'm excited to learn Lean as a new tool for thought. I find that Haskell sells itself as a programming language but the reality is quite arcane, and its tools feel slow and bloated. Lean 4 is sort of the opposite, selling itself as a math toolkit but actually having very considerately (and practically) designed support tools (VSCode integration, build system) and core language features.
I'm reading through Functional Programming in Lean now, supplementing with the Lean Manual and also Lean's prelude file, which is well commented and pretty readable. I love that the output window's contents are clickable ("failed to synthesize type class X Y Z" -> click on X, Y or Z to go to the definitions). I'm excited to try out the widget interface, which lets you complete proofs through visuospatial reasoning (see the Rubix cube project). I'm really hoping that this serves as a new tool for programming-minded people to learn math and contribute easy-to-understand proofs in a way that was never possible before. Once I've gone through the beginner materials, I want to try the math problems at the beginning of https://brickisland.net/DDGSpring2023/, which has great tools for its programming projects but nothing for its proof assignments.

The documentation still has holes, but the Lean community is more helpful and welcoming than any other I've ever encountered, and I'm confident that I'll get an answer for every question I have.

For the Lean folks: an entry on learnxinyminutes is an absolute must in my book. It would be a great place to demonstrate how familiar and practical Lean can be, with its for loops and arrays and hash maps and whatever else. Generally if a language is not there, I figure it must not be mature enough to try out (Lean has been an exception for me).
Chipotle has bar-none the shittiest tech I've seen in retail.

Their order web page is the only one that refuses to operate with ad-block turned on.

Their app is a mess of broken functionality.

And their error paths are uniformly obtuse. E.g. "Unable to accept payment, please pay for your order in store" actually meaning "We were unable to transmit your order to the store, so you should just go through and create a new order when you walk in."

Seriously, fuck Chipotle's UX team.

(I may also still be salty about their inability to remember to put cheese in a cheese quesadilla)

And yet, (almost) all people that can't afford to buy their own home, still live in one. And pay to do so.

In other words: in theory, they do have the means to afford the home they live in. Just not the bag of $$ required for an initial purchase.

Conclusion: they're still paying for the home they live in. It's just not their property they're paying for, but someone else's (aka landlord).

"Landlord" used very generic here. Entities which own real estate & rent it out, come in many shapes & sizes.

This is the sneaky bit of wealth inequality, as applied to housing: all the money needed to build, buy & maintain housing is still extracted from the population. But the advantages that come with owning those properties, winds up in the hands of a small minority. The rest do pay, but don't get those ownership advantages in return.
Hey HN, solo maker of 2-Minute Apps here. Been freelancing for the longest time now and I've found that my happiest clients tend to prefer transparent, fixed-scope fixed-price project relationships. That, plus my general ability to build simple apps relatively fast (especially with some help from GPT) encouraged me to package my freelance offering as a productized service.

I'd love to hear your take on this approach, feedback on the website and whether it is something that you can see gaining adoption.

Cheers!
1) Sure it is theft, and the old system, where the scanner was an employee of the grocery store, solved this issue. The store must realize that this behavior will be done by a non-zero percentage of its patrons. They have crunched the math and decided that it is a risk they were willing to absorb. So while I don't do this myself, I do recognize that the grocery store has given me a worse experience than before while increasing their shrinkage. My violin continues to decrease in size.

2) I'm not sure how this behavior is screwing over organic farmers? They stors aren't selling the item for their full cost, but a component inventory system should recognize the missing items were stolen and not in fact sold/wasted.
Their API, however, is not. (After a certain usage threshold)
The United States is providing aid to the Ukraine to fight off Russia. While Russia may not technically be an enemy of the United States at the moment, the two nations aren't on the best of terms. This action can be construed as Musk aiding and abetting the Russians, with whom the United States is having "difficulties" with at the moment. Musk should keep in mind the United States has the power to denaturalize him and revoke his citizenship.
The only important function of emojis should be to display the same idea or emotion to the viewer as was intended by the person who sent it. We're in a much better state now with all the emoji sets slowly converging to look the same, compared to years ago when Samsung's grimace emoji looked constipated[1], or their eye roll emoji looked like a cute smile while everyone else's was clearly a sarcastic eye roll[2], causing many a miscommunication.

The blobs were nice in a vacuum, but in most usages they weren't an accurate reflection of the intent of either the person sending them, or what the person seeing them was supposed to see from the sender. They made the right move switching away.

NSO getting blacklisted is one of the great victories over the "Israel can do no wrong" mindset so common in Washington.
Out of curiousity, what os your plan w.r.t the business?

Given that Skype as it was originally implemented was very nearly this (P2P comms), and was targeted specifically for acquisition by Microsoft by pressure from intelligence agencies (to be re-implememted in a centralized fashion for tappability, see PRISM); I try to encourage every eager startup founder to think about their personal exit early. Any type of software offering that is done as a commercial venture lasts only as long as that founder/idealist is at the helm and there remains enough technically savvy people to fork on the inevitable rugpull. Which from your tech stack, may be an issue.

Anything like this, while noble, is going to inevitably become a hot target for law enforcement/intelligence agency/nation state compromise, or media smear campaign the first time a bad actor comes to light who has been enabled by it. Prepare for this type of stuff as early as possible, and godspeed.

Also, how'd you tackle the key distribution nut? Which is the hardest part of the entire process, in my experience. PKI?
Thanks. Well — prepare to be downvoted by the anti Web3 brigade heh
