To be clear, I think the stop signs and stoplights in Google Maps are a total anti-feature, a distraction that should be disabled. As soon as I saw them I wanted to turn them off (you can't), especially after this experience. It's been months now and they are still wrong, and there's no way to submit feedback about a stop sign, and I'm sure Google doesn't care. Sigh.

Ironically, if anything gets me to switch to OSM, it'll be because Google self-sabotaged their service yet again. Maps peaked a few years ago and has been steadily getting more ads and clutter. And last week or so they rolled out a new color palette that makes it impossible to distinguish between the current navigation route and other alternative routes. It's really a safety hazard, sigh. Maybe time to seriously look at alternatives...
Innate talent can’t go anywhere without hard work. That’s the multiplier that matters in any discussion about success
> Therefore to use Element X, you need to be running a homeserver with Sliding Sync support, which (for now) means running a sliding-sync proxy which bolts Sliding Sync support on to existing homeservers.

I am excited to try out Element X, but I do not want to administer yet another service, namely the Sliding Sync proxy. From a practical perspective, Sliding Sync (MSC3575) is still on the level of a proposal/experiment and I wish that we would be having this conversation about Element X after it becomes usable with any spec-compliant server.
It sets one precedent if you win and another if you lose. No matter how strong your case, there's never a guarantee you will win.
This talk is so good!
Prime is subsidized by a million other things. Cancelling does not send a message, or rather, the message isn't nearly specific enough to be interpreted by Amazon as "we should make a better show and/or stop making this one."

The entire feedback loop for the media industry has been perverted by tech companies and Venture Capital vampires, and it wasn't in a great place before.
If the game is 2D and you can divide space into tiles/blocks and walls/obstacles have their own blocks/tiles (or you can easily establish a grid over your world and determine what cell each actor is in), I wonder if there's way to use BFS in a maze-solving manner to calculate shortest path between a given actor and the target you want to check visibility for, and if the distance in blocks/tiles returned by BFS/pseudo-pathfinding is greater than a direct distance formula calculation between the two blocks/cells then maybe you know there's an obstacle? I guess that requires you to be able to create the network/graph of traversable nodes as well.
The message they have added to the app clearly says that the situation has changed.
I have to imagine part of this is how expensive data in US still is - 5g infra could likely support this but there's no way AT&T or Verizon will give a reasonable amount of data for $25/month which is the most I'd imagine somebody would want to pay for a device specific data plan
i dont doubt they have bigger places trying to buy it but decide local company whit good track record.

Thanks but no thanks.
It was a response to the top level comment which did the same thing in reverse.

Anyway, I'm kind of done with the personal attacks so have a nice day.
An option contract with an ask of $0.04 costs $4. The trader bought 5500 options for $4 and they’re now worth $1830, so it’s still a $10M profit.

The listed option price is the price per share, and a standard option contract is 100 shares of exposure.
People who don't have/use Google Maps may die in a similar way, given the lack of physical infrastructure to block the route. What does increased notoriety about a mistargeted lawsuit against Google do to assist?

To be clear, I think Google is not without blame, but the primary apportionment belongs to local road/bridge management, because fixing Google Maps alone would in no way be sufficiently safe, but fixing the physical infrastructure of the route would.
> you have to remember that every system in the modern society is trying to be total.

What does “be total” means? I’m not familiar with the phrase.

> The police wants to stop crime, at all cost

Are you joking? Clearly not. There is so many things they could do if they “want to stop crime at all cost”.

> I will leave it to you to think what the ultimate goal of the education system is.

I don’t know what you are insinuating. Could you spell it out please?
Is Splunk printing money like DataDog is?

Any lower priced alternatives? Or self-hosted?

This, so much this. On Twitter, I asked how many people have published a blogpost or anything worth mentioning with obsidian. Turns out my network had 200+ Obsidian users and none of them published anything.

I know the sample size is small but I got similar response with Notion 2 years ago. I use Apple Notes personal note taking and plain markdown with an SSG for publishing blog posts and work. No books yet but I have published over 150+ posts in the past 3 years:

markdown files: https://github.com/rednafi/rednafi.com/tree/main/content

> My recent experience with international flights indicates that business class is 5x of the premium economy seats, which are 1.5x already

If you were to buy the cheapest (non-flexible) business class fare many months in advance, you might well get it for significantly less than a flexible economy fare sold one week before departure.

Also note that airlines price on origin and destination, indirect (connecting) flights typically cost less than direct, so if you want to fly from London to New York, in business class, it's almost certainly going to be cheaper to fly somewhere else and to start your journey (and fare) from there, and fly _via London_ to NYC. Specifically you'd fly first to Dublin (or Oslo, or Budapest, or ...), then turn around and fly DUB/OSL/BUD-LON-NYC-LON-DUB/OSL/BUD.

Airline pricing can be very, very counter-intuitive to the uninitiated.

(Source: have paid for 20+ business class flights in the last 12 months, none of which were what I'd call expensive, as I despite being a miles collector I am fairly price sensitive. Just as happy to fly with Ryanair or Easyjet when value for money is to be found there)

Is there something special about carbon offsets that make them immune to the same type of scam?
This is nothing general. Just someone who created Protobuf "forgot" to do it. There was no reason not to do it given how everything else is encoded in Protobuf.

My guess is that Protobuf was first implemented then designed. And by the time it was designed, the designer felt too lazy to do anything about the top-level message's length. There are plenty of other technical bloopers that indicate lack of up-front design, so this wouldn't be very unlikely.
No they didn’t. This is utter garbage. I have worked in cellular testing since 1997. The first to market with pre-5G were NTT DoCoMo and Verizon. Huawuei were late to the game. My source is the companies we sold to and I supported personally.
Of course, that part is clear. The question is, if the two rows are guaranteed to be contiguous in memory. If using heap allocated memory, one could easily construct a counterexample (i'm not sure how the stack allocated array behaves, i guess it works because it's the sane choice, but not strictly guaranteed):

int *x;
int numRows = 2;
int numCols = 3;

x = (int *)malloc(numRows * sizeof(int ));

for (int i = 0; i < numRows; i++) {
x[i] = (int )malloc(numCols * sizeof(int));
}

// This could segfault
x[0][4] = 42;
Thanks for the info. Didn’t know we can do that here in the UK!
Eh, I'd say it kinda depends, Colemak focuses more on rolls while Dvorak focuses more on alternating between hands. Though I think that Workman is a superior alternative to Colemak when it comes to ergonomic rolls.

Xah Lee wrote an analysis on why he believes Dvorak is better than Colemak: <http://xahlee.info/kbd/dvorak_vs_colemak.html> and he brings up the frequency of the "th" digram, which on Colemak is a bit of an issue due to the finger travel.
I'm pretty sure that's how Unity started too? Unity versions 1 and 2 were never available to the public
As long as they don’t mess with it I’m fine. I recently accidentally watched Castle In the Sky with the English dub and I was so angry at the terrible changes they made to the sound design.

The opening scene in the Japanese version is completely quiet except for the sound of engines running, and in the English dub they just added crappy music over the whole thing. In the Japanese version they break the silence with this really startling piano/electronic track. In the English dub they fade it in.

I don’t know who was responsible for that but there’s nothing I hate more than someone ruining something good for literally no reason.
Good point. Is servicing still needed for Tesla? I know there’s no oil changes but if the tires can be handled by a tire company could you get by without Tesla getting involved
Came to post just that. Great read!
Looks really good! but with 200K subscribers I'm a bit hesitant to move from mailjet, who do I talk to to be able to try it with our upcoming campaigns?
Wait. that doesn't sound like you're doing 1000s of raycasts? Just a few, maybe a dozen?

also, sounds like you're using JS, not Godot?
Fear mongering.

Software engineering will change but it will not be gone. Those who learn how to use these tools will become more valuable than those who don't. Same with every profession.
The definition of "worst-performing" that they're using is relative to the prior year in the same country, i.e. Germany had the worst annual growth rate for their economy.

That says nothing about standards of living between countries. Even if Norway had -10% growth rate and Afghanistan had a +10% growth rate, I would still much rather be living in Norway.
Gradient’s mission is to cool the world by transforming every home to be more comfortable and healthy for the people who inhabit it — without compromising the environment. Today, heating and cooling equipment emit more greenhouse gas emissions than the entire transportation sector, and expansion in the use of cooling is projected to double these emissions in the next 30 years. However, comfortable buildings are critical for health and productivity, especially among communities that are vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Gradient’s vision is a future where everyone has access to comfortable buildings that are fully decarbonized. Our launch product is a direct-to-consumer high-efficiency and low-carbon heat pump.

We are looking for a Senior Motor Control / Firmware Engineer who is an enthusiastic developer, likes to solve meaningful problems, and can support overall firmware, controls, & electronics strategy.

What are you talking about?

TBH I can't even chain together any of your reasoning here. How does teams wanting to hire seniors imply juniors who join won't be able to learn? Were you on those teams? Did you actually see "yoda class devs" refusing to spend effort to grow their junior team members?

And how is mentoring juniors an even remotely acceptable substitute for learning from the best in the industry? Having juniors question your assumptions only works for making you aware that they might be bad, but doesn't necessarily help in guiding you towards making the right ones.

The only issue I take with GP's is the assumption they make with FAANG having the "best engineers". At tens of thousands of software engineers per company, the concentration of top talent is quite dilute, and if you're unlucky you'll see a lot of mediocrity just due to the large numbers. My impression is that often smaller companies with an strong engineering culture might have "better" engineers on average.
Do you have an example of a practical and useful type system? One that's not "for type theory people" ?
About 25 years of long-term studies and VAERS monitoring for varicella outside of the pharmaceutical company.

Children not vaccinated for the Chickenpox will typically have more obvious symptoms whereas children do not typically have severe symptoms if not vaccinated for COVID. "Healthy" children, not obese, diabetic, or otherwise immuno-compromised children.

You can't compare adverse reaction statistics for varicella and COVID in an apples-to-apples comparison, since the first COVID vaccine was given just less than three years ago vs. 25 years of a varicella vaccine. Long-term study results for COVID vaccination simply don't exist for obvious reasons; it's only been about three years since the vaccine was first publicly administered.

The R0 of Chickenpox (varicella) is higher.

The benefits do not outweigh the risk.

I don't know if this type of thing happened with varicella or any other vaccine in recent history, but:

Clinical trials are usually not performed on children, and there were no RCTs (Randomized Control Trials) done on children as far as I know or have read about.

Countries like Sweden recommend against vaccinating children 5-11 because they think the benefits don't outweigh the risks.

It's funny, but the UK doesn't have varicella in the vaccine schedule for children for fear it will lead to a risk of chickenpox and shingles in adults[1], which can be more severe. I remember letting my older children play with their cousin who had chickenpox so they would get it. This was common for my generation, and within my anecdotal sphere, I was never aware of child being more than the usual sick with it. The NHS take on it is pretty interesting from a societal vs. individual angle.

Some things that weigh on my trust of big pharma and especially Pfizer:

Pfizer destroyed their long-term study control group by vaccinating them, so that took out their control group and invalidated that long-term study.

Pfizer released piecemeal heavily redacted documents when they were legally obligated to comply with a FOIA request for their study results used to seek FDA approval and the EUA that would idemnify them; the government would take on their liability from law suits.

For any app that does this, go to the App Store and give them a one-star rating and a comment on why you’re doing this.

In this case, they have a canned copy/paste answer saying that it’s for “security”, so feel free to try to debunk that in your initial comment.
Volume. 1GB of data per day is rounding error. If you have tens of thousands of servers, each generating hundreds of gigabytes of data per day, tail -f and grep don't scale especially well.
Yeah, and there are so many OSS projects aimed at splunk type things now.

Splunk / Datadog have the classic user interface lead of a closed source solution, but IMO that premium's days are numbered.
No matter how much I am willing to pay, I cannot buy what I want. That is a market failure.

Solar and wind cannot support a base load period. Battery tech is great and believe me it's cool but lithium ion batteries have been in place since the 70s and the chemistry hasn't improved.

Instead of sitting on our hands with a thumb up the bum, waiting for breakthroughs that never come, we have solutions today that work and should be leveraged before those gains in chemical engineering and material science happen.

> Funny enough, no matter how big these things get, they never seem to make me a lot more productive.

Maybe because the stuff you do isn't bottlenecked by compute? In my case every hardware upgrade resulted in a big productivity improvement.

Better CPU: Cut my C++ build times in half (from 10 to 5 minutes if I change an important .h)

Better GPUs: Cut my AI training time by a few X, massively improving iteration times. Also allow me to run bigger models that more easily reach my target accuracy.
I use this a lot. It burns two batteries instead of one, is unreliable, and adds latency. I would very much like to buy a laptop from Apple that has a modem builtin like I can get from Dell. Furthermore, I would like a modem in the laptop that is always on and ready, just like in the iPad (zero click).
You can always kill yourself.

Codifying medically assisted suicide into law would lead to abuses. I recall a case where family members and doctors held someone down who was fighting and forced lethal poison down the person's throat.

At the very least, we must have mandatory video recording and reporting of everything related to an assisted suicide and a mandatory life-without-parole sentence for those convicted of abusing legal euthanasia. We can not let doctors hold someone down and force poison down their throats then only get a few years in prison.

This is too much like the abortion debate where babies who survived attempted abortions were left to die instead of being cared for.

Search for "insider trading convictions". They're not rare, and often result in jail time.

Are most of the inside traders that get caught non-professional investors, because the pros know how to escape detection? Are the convictions a small fraction of the number of crimes? Is the SEC too focused on crimes that are easy to prosecute and ignoring more important systemic issues? I'd say yes to all, but the SEC is far from toothless in this type of case.

Until recently I loved my Epson Eco Tank. I discovered that the Epson printers all have an internal page counter that bricks the printer once it reaches a limit, requiring service by Epson. There's a "waste ink pad" that is supposed to be replaced, which is simple. But the manufacturer is required to input a special code to reset the printer once the pad is replaced. It's a forced obsolescence scam, essentially. There are some ways around it - questionable software by third parties that charge around 10 bucks for a code to reset the printer. I haven't decided what to do yet but I damn well am not paying anyone to unbrick my otherwise completely functional printer.
You could also introduce a classifier step that takes the result of the query and asks the LLM if the results truly are relevant or not before passing them on to the summarization step. You can even add more steps (with possibly diminishing returns) such as taking the more relevant results and crafting a new query that is a very condensed summary, embedding it and then finding more results that are semantically similar to it.
> The benefit to customers was the planes were directed to where the customers were and flew to where they wanted to go.

FTA: "Worse still, without mandated service, cities and regions across the country have lost commercial air service"

It sounds like planes stopped being directed to where customers were and no longer fly to where they wanted to go in many instances. This is not a win for the consumer.
My octogenarian mother uses it.
That's why companies die in the long run.

Microsoft dominated the nineties especially and the naughts less so but still because the marginal price of their OS was zero - due to piracy. Yes they didn't like business to run unlicensed but if you were a customer, nobody cared, because in 5-10-20 years you'd be a paying business or would work for a paying business.

Splunk doesn't get that. There are no hobbyist/prosumer splunk installations. Zero. Nada. That's also how Linux won in the server space - nobody set up Windows servers as a hobby and 20 years later we're here.

IOW it's medium-term short-sightedness, if it makes sense. Tactically good, strategically so-so to bad, depending on your moat and momentum.
If everyone looks at a trade like this as prima facie evidence of insider trading, why are these options even for sale?

It is like a casino, except if you win the jackpot you get arrested. Because we run our economy under the law that requires stock prices to be set by ignorant people.
It can work out cheaper to provide digital devices than providing plenty of books and of course they're a lot more flexible.

Modern society is of course dominated by technology, so there's a strong argument for getting all kids to have experience in using it.
Maybe it's because they re-released modified versions of the original Star Wars trilogy[1]. Although timing wise, some of the re-releases happened before the Star Wars prequels, including the "Han shot first" controversy[2]. Some people's childhood might be ruined by the altercations, but it seems unfair that the new Star Wars are fully to blame.
