Quite frankly, it sounds like it is Adobe's fault for having a completely useless support structure.

The first support person to answer the phone should have been able to deliver this url https://helpx.adobe.com/fonts/using/font-licensing.html#web-... and told them that their client needs to buy a creative suite license to solve the problem.

I get that OP didn't manage to find the answer to their question in the FAQ, but tier 1 support basically exists to direct people to the FAQ answer they are looking for. Instead Adobe paid for at least 13 support calls of labor. Which from the employee standpoint seems to suggest that head count can be justified just by providing a worse service.
Maybe tools like this can [someday] replace dedicated QA teams...
The consoles-are-sold-at-a-loss explanation has always seemed like an extraordinarily week argument for giving Microsoft and Sony a pass on bad behavior.

Their consoles may be sold at a loss at launch, but I don't know of any console hardware that wasn't net profitable over it's lifetime with the possible exception of the XBox with the ring-of-death problem.

Why would Apple complain? You can repair a phone screen as long as you pay 50% off the price of the original phone. As long as they control the supply of components and are able to price them as they wise, it’s a win win for them. The difference between Apple and any other phone, is that Apple has maybe 15 different models to support that each one has been sold by millions of units, meanwhile there are thousands of different android phone models.
While it doesn't properly understand the structure, you can move around pretty well with Imenu or (configured) org-goto. I assume it's also possible to make something for it so that it take nesting into consideration like it does for some programming languages. My org files are only a couple 1000 lines though, so don't know how they perform when it gets larger than that.
I tend to agree - i haven't seen the value in existing "retriever" components in langchain and others.
Wayland is like systemd all over again. We had something ancient and crufty which just about worked, but was a genuine obstacle to progress. A group of crazy people got together and designed a replacement. Everyone else pointed out that the design was crazy. The designers carried on anyway. And now the crazy project is the only game in town.
Definitely. This is one of my favorite books due to both the writing style and the "behind the scenes" aspect of living and working in Antarctica.

My problem is that I need different prescriptions early and late in the day, in addition to different distances. A few years ago I bought a set of test lenses and a frame so I could measure my own prescription, and ordered a couple of pairs that were better than I'd had from an optometrist for a while. I've had even better results using an EyeQue device, but that only measures distance vision so I still need the lens set for the "add" on my near vision.

Honestly, optometrists are a waste of time and money. However, it's still a good idea to visit an ophthalmologist from time to time as they can evaluate eye health in addition to optics. Glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, and retinal detachment are all worth detecting early.
It depends on the jewelry, diamonds are notoriously bad in resale. There are however genuinely rare and beautiful gemstones which retain their value... just not diamonds.

The question is about size of markets...

Being in the diamond market from 1900 to 2000 was probably good if you wanted to make money.

Being in the diamond market now is going to involve a shrinking market, at least in most western countries. The number of marriages in the US per 1000 per year has halved since 1990. Add in that some growing portion of the population doesn't care about diamonds and then add artificial diamonds then the market looks a lot different. Unless you talk some other large population source into buying expensive diamonds (China? India?) expect the prices to decrease over the years.
I think it's interesting that the one IP range I decided to check has correct information on the ipapi.is web site, but unambiguously incorrect information in the downloadable geolocationDatabaseIPv4.csv. Somehow Bedford, New Hampshire (which came straight from WHOIS) became Bedford, Texas.

How'd that happen?

Great, I'm glad you agree the labour theory of value is unable to explain and is unlikely to be valid.

Java Records Are “Trusted” and Consequently Faster
Oh this is that Kenny!? https://kenney.nl/
Here’s how I think about it —

There’s a value X that’s the absolute minimum you would work for, any less and you quit today.

There’s a value Y that’s the absolute maximum I would pay you, any penny more and I fire you immediately.

Y - X is up for grabs, and there are zero moral proscriptions I would give to any allocation of this between employee and employer. Each and every aspect of the employee-employer relationship is advantaged already in favor of the employer (resource disparity, implicit solidarity from company structure, regulations). Unions tend to reduce my share of Y-X. If I was a laborer, I’d prefer a union.

E: I’ve seen unions that are counter examples to each of your complaints so not really interesting to me to think too much about your own personal experience with unions.

Language is contextual. A woman who has seen repeated instances of male misbehavior is within her rights to record her feelings about it — “the men here are mediocre” in this context is clearly not talking about all men but her feelings about the shitty men she encountered, and also pointing at a pattern of what happens when there are a large number of white males vs more diverse settings (this isn’t unique to Antarctica — Google has this problem). Mistreatment of women in such settings is well documented.

It’s like if you say “my job sucks” — not all parts of your job may actually suck, just the parts you hate. Or “the government is corrupt” most folks would infer that you are talking about a specific subelement.

If we lived in a society where women routinely mistreated men then flipping the statement wouldn’t be offensive. What makes it offensive flipped is mostly that generalizations about women typically encode harmful falsehoods that come from generations of patriarchy. You could not flip her statements in good faith because women do not treat men the way she described anyway.

As a progressive I hate that it isn’t simple as much as everyone else. But to fight for equality is to understand that the origins of the fight come from unwanted asymmetry and of course that’s going to be reflected in discourse.
In the same sense that people can do it, sure, but it's not all that easy. You have to go back and fake all sorts of timestamps, email exchanges, handwritten notes, etc. AI doesn't make doing that any easier, and it's often not that hard to detect fraudulent records.

The amount of stuff you'd have to fake, both electronic and physical, makes doing so successfully a nontrivial exercise and -- if you're found out -- turns it into a much larger, potentially criminal, case of fraud.

Another commenter already said it, but given that Google pays Apple $20 billion annually for the default search engine, it's accurate to say that Safari's development is entirely funded by Google.

That Apple has alternative sources of revenue are irrelevant for Safari's present and future. Just to give an example — both Firefox and Safari block third-party cookies, which has an impact on Google's tracking, but have you noticed that neither of them block ads by default? They couldn't even if they wanted to, given it has a direct impact on their cash cow. And Safari's ad-blocking capabilities is what inspired Chrome's limitations from Manifest v3, the latter being more capable, actually.

The more important question is: What happens to Safari if Google's payouts to Apple stop? And there's no good answer.
That is like asking how could linux exist. Use your brain and imagine. We would likely have many more great fonts than we do today if you outlawed charging for them because people would no long have a protectionist mindset. It would be easy for people to modify existing ones so they worked better for various issues, and it wouldn't stop people creating beautiful new ones for whatever reason they wanted like art... or like linux. Sometimes the world works better without capitalism though that might be hard to believe.
I have done typescript successfully. It has another install folder than the default, as the repo has tree-sitter for both tsx and typescript. C/C++ could be a similar situation. The installer should prompt you for it during the setup.
Show HN: Ever Been Rated by an AI Date? Try Dating Playground and Get Feedback
Hey HackerNews folks!

I first launched DatingAI.pro to help people improve their dating profiles, get reply suggestions, etc but to that I got feedback where people pointed out that someone could just impersonate their entire profile which made sense and I thought what if I could actually help people really get better at texting or conversations by giving them feedback and letting them improve via suggestions.

I understand a human date can't be replaced but certainly we could help to an extent.
NOTE - THIS IS NOT AN AI GIRLFRIEND.

This is how it works:
1. Swipe from profiles of the opposite gender and then you're matched with someone.
2. Start an engaging chat & earn or lose points based on your charm (or lack thereof).
3. Simultaneously get reply suggestions to navigate the conversation.
4. Receive a final verdict: Would they like to go out on a date with you?

And the best part? Those points aren't just for bragging rights they can be redeemed them for other features in the tool. Think of it as a dating simulator with tangible rewards.

Would love to know your thoughts
Probably nothing. Xfce isn't a timing manager so these two aren't really comparable. Xfce is a lightweight alternative to gnome and kde. Probably the main competitor is lxde and from that perspective, xfce is more of a complete desktop environment than lxde is.

Vector is better for some use cases (open-domain, more conversational data) and term-based search is better for others (closed-domain, more keyword-based).

I've found that internal enterprise projects tend to be very keyword based, and vector search often produces weird, head-scratcher results that users hate - whereas term-based search does a better job of capturing the right terms, if you do the proper synonym/abbreviation expansions.

That said, I use them both, usually with vector search as a fallback after the initial keyword-based RAG pass
As accurate as MaxMind[1], since that's what they use [2]. In my experience, it's reasonably accurate for the US, less so for other countries. MaxMind publishes some accuracy data which might be an interesting starting point [3]

That said, for any analytics use cases of this data, be aware that MaxMind will group a lot of what should be unknowns in the middle of a country. Or, in the case the US now, I think they all end up in the middle of some lake, since some farm owners in Butler County, Kansas got tired of cops showing up and sued MaxMind. It can cause odd artifacts unless you filter the addresses out somehow.

> Or do people really look at a font that might cost thousands of USD to use...

This is part of the business problem that the Adobe CC subscription solves. I you already have a subscription, which is relatively inexpensive and bundled with Adobe software licenses, then the marginal cost of using a particular font in their library is zero.

That said, I've also had a role on the client side and, yes, we spent quite a lot of time discussing which of the font options presented by our designer we preferred and would have happily spent a thousand or two dollars on the one we liked best. Although it seems like a lot for a font, it would have been a very small part of the total budget for the project.

As it happened, though, we were simply presented with a total budget for the project, without a line item for font licensing. Either our designer has some sort of CC-style library license, or it was just rolled into the bundled price. In theory, then, maybe the designers have an incentive to use cheaper fonts in situations like this. But it's probably the designers on their team that most want to use the pricey fonts.

> where as if you go RISC-V, you are free to switch CPU providers.

Idk, this really isn't as true as you'd think. Yes RISC-V is an open and free ISA which will cut out some fees, but you'd still have to license IP/chip designs (if you can't make your own) and they could only undercut ARM by a little bit. Further, the lack of mobility across chips/boards/whatever is not usually from the ISA, but from the BSP, SDK, etc. so you still would have substantial lockin unless we somehow standardize on that (lol)
Ok, so part one, like everyone is suggesting is you can probably make this fully automatic. I say, you don't even need to change the router IPs, but it's more difficult if you don't (you might need to setup 1:1 NAT to get sensible addresses and go from there). A new router with 4 interfaces, one to each modem and one to your network switch (if you can change modem IPs and disable DHCP on them, you can do everything with one NIC and a single collision domain, although you may not want to). You could get two devices each with 4 interfaces and use pfsync and CARP to make failover nearly seamless. There's appliances for this, but I've setup something similar from scratch on FreeBSD, use DSL if it's up, fail over to LTE otherwise.

Part two: what you asked for exists. Look for bypass NICs. There's a couple different flavors, but the commonly available pattern is a dual-port NIC, which you run a utility to switch from bypass mode (the two ports are connected via relays, the NICs are disconnected) to regular mode (each port serves one NIC).

If addressing is compatible, you could have three bypass nics, plug one end of each to your switch, the other end to a modem. The selected modem would be in bypass mode, and unselected modems would be in regular mode. (You could also do this with software bridging, only bridge the selected modem). I've had success with silicom bypass NICs, for older models like PEG4BPI, the -SD model is going to be easier to use PEG4BPI-SD has PCI ids set so that standard OS nic drivers will load automatically for the nics, but PEG4BPI has PCI ids set up differently and drivers won't start unless you modify them or can force them. You can actually modify the eeprom and turn a regular into a -SD, with just one bit flip, but that's an ordeal.

This doesn’t make sense because most hardware with custom parts are actively manufactured and sold for longer than 3 years. If companies were forced to release all internal documentation, that only guarantees that competitors would begin manufacturing clones while the original product was still being sold. It wouldn’t accomplish the goal of getting replacement parts in the hands of consumers.
This sounds like something lcamtuf might be interested in…
Honestly though, that's going to be the safest way to use the car. Make a new account, and use only 3rd party services because you don't want your real google account being linked to the car account.

It's a little crazy having an account with so little protection against Google's automated account systems tied to an $80,000 vehicle, as far as I'm concerned the less exposure to anything that could get your account flagged with no recourse the better.

Who knows if you're going to wake up one day and find out that your car lost access to navigation or something because some dickwads on the internet thought it would be funny to mass report your YouTube comments.
This is interesting. I guess I would've have expected more and more localized generation and coordination rather than long distance transmission and storage, but maybe it will be more of a combination of things.

Thanks for the insights, its not something I really thought of before.
I relied on GPT4 to learn linear algebra. I had a text book and GPT4. One difference is the text book was sometimes wrong (and GPT4 is the one that spotted the error in the book). If it is "bullshit", it's very helpful bullshit.

When I ask GPT4 to write some code to perform a specific task, and it does so, and the code works and correctly performs the task, is that bullshit?

It's true that LLMs are not reliable enough to trust blindly, the same applies to humans.

I tend to live the "theory-of-mind" reasoning tasks as a test for the ability of a LLM to reason about the "state" of other minds. It's challenging enough for humans.

The author has a separate page for rebuilding the large electrolytic capacitors that is really interesting:

https://retrocmp.de/northstar-hrz/ns-hrz_p08_capacitors.htm

> Why Do Capacitors Need to be Reformed?

>Whether capacitors are stored as a component or installed as part of an equipment assembly, the result is the same. Electrolytic capacitors that remain unpowered for longer than 6 to 18 months can experience degradation of their aluminum oxide dielectric insulation. Power applied at the capacitor’s rated capacity can exploit any weakness in this insulation. This will allow the voltage to punch through to a short circuit condition.

>The resulting short circuit of a capacitor results in physical and electrical damage to the capacitor. It also leads to catastrophic failure of the equipment. A severe failure of a capacitor can also cause collateral damage to surrounding equipment. For example, built up pressure inside a failed capacitor can cause physical damage in the surrounding area from capacitor material being expelled. Or, combustion damage to fragile circuitry and other components is possible. This type of failure can possibly pose a risk to personnel in the area in the event of a failure.

This is why all the hand-wringing about "take shorter showers!!!" is so braindead.

The issue is agriculture, full stop. Of course, we all need food to eat, but as you point out we could produce just as much food if we just modernized our irrigation practices. I'm not saying that would be cheap, or that we shouldn't have government support for that modernization, but whenever I hear some nonsense about how we should stop washing our cars I just tune that out. It's a form of green washing when we focus on inconsequential bits and then let the biggest water users continue to waste water.

For serious implementations, frameworks are not very helpful, even LangChain. All the components provide good SDKs/APIs, having a bunch of "integrations" doesn't add any real value.

If you know what you want to build, building from scratch is easier than you think. If you're tinkering on the weekend, then maybe the frameworks are helpful.
