The problem isn't so much that Google has a hard time old phones on their OS maintenance team books, and even just phoning in the effort to keep them working (hah). It's that they actively don't want to do any work that isn't sexy and supporting new products. I don't think their teams are incentivized to do so.

Let me play it out with an example.

At Apple, a team/individual might be actively told to have to use an iPhone 8 for their daily use, so they get to experience what it's like for a user with an older phone. They solve the users' pain by solving their own pain, and commit to making the experience actually better with future iOS releases. Not just keeping it working but actually making it better if possible.

Google has shown time and time again that they're not thinking like that. Or at least not setting up the company to be rewarded like that.

I will also posit that the single-handed ownership of the iOS app store makes deficiencies fall squarely on Apple, so they are more directly blamed/responsible when phone performance gets worse. With Android, and so many reasons a team could claim that other factors are causing negative trends in performance, who cares to keep making an old phone better?

I got a proper bollocking when checking out some newly built houses with my drone, one of which I was thinking about buying. The lady thought I was trying to film her garden, probably warranted since I took off not far from her residential house. I've learned to stay further away from people while flying since, which the rules dictate anyway.
First off, those numbers are a huge asterisk for perfect atmospheric conditions.

In reality you will see about a 2km max in relatively clear conditions, and as few as half a km in even normal suburban/urban conditions.

Not entirely but my kids' K-8 has pushed some of their classes outside (mostly science) to their local "woods" (a part of the land parcel of the school that's not developed and has trees, a pond and some work tables). Also a lot of effort was done during the pandemic to do events outside (like music) in the quad area. Also all meals have been outdoors (indoor not possibly during pandemic) - I remember this being the case even when I was in school in this area.

Being in CA, that's easy year round due to milder weather.

That said, the effort was nothing close to outdoors all the time, which has significant challenges.
The product they make, that I think is a lot cooler than their drones (but probably was inspired by them), is their Osmo Pocket minicam[0].

The referenced 1995 thesis by Doorenbos looks very interesting; I wasn't aware of it; the original work on Rete is by Forgy, mostly from the seventies.

I wonder what the author of the referenced project is doing with the algorithm; after all, rule-based expert systems seem to have fallen out of time.
Keep in mind that this only applies to the FCC regulations. In Europe (CE regulations) the claimed range is 10 km.

The mini 3 pro has a CE regulations claimed range of 8 km, but after 2.5 km I pretty much loose connection. If I turn the drone to face my direction, I might be able to fly it a bit further, but at this point it is so hard to control it, that there is no point.

Btw, according to regulations, you can not fly it without line of sight. So, in practice the "legal" range is a few hundrend meters. I have yet to see an observer with binoculars. :)
Their main goal for this project is grid reliability.

It's usually a bad idea to link a specific project to people's utility bills. It goes up and down for all sorts of reasons, but the only thing people will notice is when it doesn't go down. Then they'll blame something about that one project they remember hearing about.

It's the type of chaos that only campaigning politicians would invite.

I think they are referring to the Pixel 6 [1]. If the same happened again, Google might announce that the Pixel 8 will receive 4 or 5 years of major Android version updates and 7 years of security updates.

However, the alleged leaked specs for the Pixel 8 explicitly state "7 years of OS and security updates" [2], so I think they do actually intend on 7 years of major Android version updates.

You're responsible as well, for supporting the infrastructure enabling these efforts.

But don't conflate issues. We were talking about whether or not someone working at BigCo making $400k/year is working class or not. They are, even if they're not blue-collar workers.

I don't really give a damn who or what you're literally angry about, I was just using a figure of speech.
The author's talked about their pain points, but they didn't really outline the downside of going to this approach in a comprehensive way. What I've found with event based systems is that they are much worse if your operational maturity/excellence is low. To make it worse, operational excellence can get worse over the years so you can't simply base the decision on how well you do it today.
Thank you! I wish Plaid would document this on the website. I've always been hesitant to convert from my dev account to a production account because everything gives the impression you're looking for a Serious Business.

Good question. Off the shelf TTS systems tend to enunciate every phoneme more like a radio talk show host rather than a regular person, which I find a bit off putting.

Yah, pretty sure it is the same feature that's been in Bing Chat for 2 months now. Which feels really like there's only one pass of feature extraction from the image, preventing any detailed analysis beyond a course "what do you see". (Follow-up questions of things it likely didn't parse are highly hallucinated).

This is why they can't extract the seat post information directly from the bike when the user asks. There's no "going back and looking at the image".

Edit: nope, it's a better image analyzer than Bing

You're suggesting we engineer something on S3 and aws-cli, while complaining about engineering something ourselves when AWS offers a perfectly good queue service that requires no engineering?

It is true that if you need to use Tokio, you'll end up using Tokio. That is not what was being suggested, though: it was just that tokio is not required for a simple block_on implementation. If you're already using tokio, using its block_on of course makes sense. But in that case, you're not adding "few hundred dependencies," you're using the ones that you're already using.

And like, to be clear, "the few hundred dependencies from tokio" is also misleading. A `cargo add tokio --features full` adds 43 dependencies to your Cargo.lock at the time of writing.

Please read up on rooming houses before assuming they are legal and just like college dorms. They are illegal almost everywhere.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooming_house

Incidentally, 150 years ago rooming houses were something like 30% of the rental market. But because they tend to house low-income people, zoning laws have been put in place to make them illegal. I guess people think it would be better for the poor to live under a bridge somewhere else than in a rooming house in their neighborhood.

By the way, a rooming house is different from someone just renting out a couple extra bedrooms in their house -- those are owner-occupied homes and are therefore not considered rooming houses.

I disagree. I think awk and sed are useful for some uses, even though it is not very good for JSON. (I also think JSON is not the best format for structured data anyways.)

In the /proc file system, they could have made the data format better even without using JSON though. (For example, null-terminated text strings might be better than using parentheses around it; since, then, what if the data includes parentheses? You could use the PostScript format for escaping (string literals in PostScript are written with parentheses around it, and can be nested), but, it would be better and simpler to not require any escaping, isn't it?

(Anyways, my own ideas of operating system design, one is that it does have structured data in a much better way, so avoids this and other problems. There is a common structure for most things, and would be designed to improve the efficiency compared with JSON, XML, etc, as well as other advantages. This can also be used inherently with the command shell, so unlike Nushell, the system is more designed for this.)

You've said nothing about intelligence. You've exclusively listed psychological impediments. Beating yourself up isn't helpful but your anger is good -- it means you're willing to change.

Your username means you need to seek a therapist immediately and without delay. I'm not asking you, I'm commanding you. Do it right fucking now.

In my opinion, consider trying several therapists until you find one that works well for you; they vary significantly. I would also recommend walking for one hour or more every day, no headphones, no distractions, and talk through things in your mind. Wild write: sit down with a pen and paper and write whatever comes into your mind, and then read it and understand it. It will start to make sense.

Literally everyone on this planet is broken in some way. But broken things can be fixed. There's hope. Use this frustration and anger as the spark to effect positive change. You can do it. Have hope.

Everyone who has been at the bottom of the well where there's no light and no promise of light will tell you the same thing: they're wrong. There's always the promise of light. There's always light if you choose to seek it. Have hope.

I see "classic" as more of a check to see if HN is seeing substantial drift from what its early cohort's interests are. Largely ... it seems to jibe reasonably well with the main site.

Another interesting variant is to hit Algolia with a blank search and a date-range set. What you'll get are top-voted comments for that period (past day, week, month, year, or custom interval). I occasionally use that to see if I've missed anything particularly good recently, or to filter what I see as excessive cruft.

So, e.g., top votes past month: <https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastMonth&page=0&prefix=fa...>

"Top voted" need not mean "best" Because Reasons, but it's an interesting and different slice of the site.
I tried to evaluate Bigcapital but it's kind of a mess to deploy via self hosting. The docker-compose setup is really hard to break apart, the stack is bizarre (mongo, multiple myql databases, and redis), and the way you do upgrades and migrations left me feeling very uneasy. Additionally, my accountant wouldn't use anything this thing exports from what I can tell. For now I'm sticking with GnuCash, but I have my eye on some open source ERP systems--they're extremely complex though, with every screen being customizable. All I want are HR and finance functions in one place without having a dozen Google Docs and Sheets floating around. I couldn't care less about the level of customization most ERPs provide.

All forms of FIDO2 authentication do fundamentally rely on being able to trust the browser to not misrepresent the "relying party" (the RP, aka the registered domain, github.com in this case)

They are phishing resistant, even when using the cross-device QR code thing, but that does rely on some base level of trust in the user agent

At the end of the day though, if the browser is the malicious actor, there's simply nothing you can do. That is not a realistic or defensible scenario in most threat models

Passkeys do represent an enormous improvement in security for users, including in the scenario you've highlighted

I know in traditional auth setups, that kind of situation does tend to invite additional concerns, but (again assuming you trust the user agent) FIDO2 still provides full protection when that's happening

From article:

```

Others urged greater caution. Prof David Curtis, an honorary professor at University College London Genetics Institute, said: “The only foodstuffs which [this study] shows are associated with increased risk of depression are artificial sweeteners. Of course, this does not mean that an effect of artificial sweeteners is to increase depression risk – it is just that people with increased risk of developing depression tend to consume larger quantities of artificial sweeteners.”

But the authors disagree. Prof Andrew T Chan, chief of the clinical and translational epidemiology unit at Massachusetts general hospital and co-author of the research, said: “The strength of our study is that we were able to assess diet several years before the onset of depression. This minimises the likelihood that our findings are simply due to individuals with depression being more likely to choose ultra-processed foods.

```

Seems to be a correlation study to me. I also don't see any controls for other circumstances, so it can also be explained that other factors could contribute both to eating processed foods and getting depressed (ex: working long hours, having low income, relationship stress)
This is a very slick demo. Nice job!

Ok, but without regulation, why should any investor be interested in building affordable housing, instead of just selling/renting for the exact same unaffordable prices we currently have?

More construction isn't the ebd goal, (except for developers and investors I guess), if anything, it's a means to an end. The end goal is affordable housing.

I see. I appreciate your clarification and the addition of the strong testing endorsement.
Yhis can probably be achieved with distribited builds on NixOS with a mster that had all other machines configured as build servers.

In this setup the nix daemon on the master can delegate build tasks to other build machines, let's call them agents. These agents have a feature set, arch set and a speed factor to steer task distribution. The feature sets define if, e.g., a machine can compile builds in a sandbox VM. The arch set is for cross compilation support.

You could schedule code checks as nix checks, e.g., linting and validarion could be done by exporting the output as a derivation.

S3 is fine until you want your data to leave AWS.

Then it costs $92 / TB to get it out again.

Also S3 has durability guarantees but it's very difficult to do a durable transactional write to S3. Try it a few million times and see. The API is a defacto shitty standard.

These two facts are rather interesting when it comes to doing a restore from your supposed backup or wonder why consistency guarantees between external metadata services (DB) and what is in S3 don't always line up.

If you want the drone to autonomously track you, then the mini 4 pro is the only realistic choice since it has obstacle detection at all directions. The mini 3 pro does not have obstacle detection at the sides.

In a mountain bike scenario, the drone is mostly capturing you on the side and it is moving sideways itself. So, unless you want to fly it next to the sea, you want to have sideways obstacle detection. Or, just have a friend control it. :)
> Once you find out something isn't true it's hard to unpick your mental model of the world.

Intuitively, I would think the same, but a book about education research that I read and my own experience taught me that new information is surprisingly easy to unlearn. It’s probably because new information sits at the edges of your neural networks and do not yet provide a foundation for other knowledge. This will only happen if the knowledge stands the test of time (which is exactly how it should be according to Popper). If a counterexample is found, then the information can easily be discarded since it’s not foundational anyway and the brain learns the counterexample too (the brain is very good in remembering surprising things).
Perhaps but I fly my Mini 2 regularly, and people have a hard time finding it in the sky even when I point it out to them at 100ft. At 200ft it might as well not exist. They are so small and light, they just don't put out the dBs like bigger drones.
