That's your experience. GP has had a different experience that works for them, and maybe would for others.
This is a simple misunderstanding of Hebrew "Perfect Tense" and "Imperfect Tense", which is NOT directly related to either future or past:

Don't care for it? I much prefer it, this is great!
/e/OS is focussed on not (or less) leaking data (-> privacy), especially to Google. Whereas I understand Grapheme OS wants to make it very difficult to hack the device (-> security).
This leads to different compromises.
I would say that /e/ is more normal end user friendly and GrapheneOS enables more security for those who need it, but less Android apps will work as normal.
I wish people would realize that their vacation photos should include, well, them. When I travel, I'm taking pictures of my family doing things, not the things they're doing. No one needs another generic copy of just the Eiffel Tower or the Statue of Liberty.

>Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning

I think that we live in some strange situation where we have some glaring safety issues exist just because people are taught that safety is someone else's job that they care for seriously. Usually that is not the case.

So you have accumulation of willful stupidity and normalization on deviance on the floor that eventually hurts someone.
Since you're making a pretty counterintuitive claim, do you have anything to back it up?

They also have a live fast, die young risk taking culture that isn’t big on health awareness. I mean, they come into my kitchen at night even though I am actively trying to murder them.
If Musk says something, take the opposite stance. Bet on the demise of X in 2024.
I've heard it said that plastic is better off sequestered in landfills than recycled, to reduce the amount of microplastics getting into the environment.
If you do not open your books for auditing, claiming profit is easy too.
Could you maybe provide an actual argument? I am german and legitimately not sure. Maybe share the Californian perspective?
Near the end, he tosses it out as a possibility. It certainly seems like the simplest explanation, doesn't it?
it's for diecasting. just gooogle dosing furnace diecasting

"Dosing furnaces are closed holding furnaces with a spout for direct metal delivery. They are used to dispense an accurate amount of molten metal into the die casting machine. The advantage of dosing furnaces is that because it is closed, it minimizes heat loss and protects the molten metal from excessive oxidation."
Nikola's fraud was blatant [1]. They rolled a truck down a hill, and the internal emails were damning. Trying in good faith (solar shingles) and failing isn't fraud, that's just a failed business venture. Solyndra failed too. Fraud? No, just bad business.

I can understand that Musk attempts to bend reality to juice the chances of success. I don't condone it personally, but I understand it [2].

I miss the days of not putting all the settings of a thing into a text file. I'd take checkboxes and radio buttons over esoteric text files that require extra research every time you edit one.
Innovation is great and all, but it's not so amazing that it should be valued above all other considerations.
These lists should be shown to the submitter, or auto-populated and pinned-collapsed at the head of the new thread.

Perhaps impose a moratorium period of (at least) 3 months for resubmission. Would stop a lot of dupes in new.
Workplace accidents are legally required to be reported in all of America, per OSHA regulations. There are definitely issues with compliance in some situations, but I guarantee that the OSHA inspectors take this sort of thing seriously.
Seriously dude, why would you even want a new aarch64 SBC when you could buy a used NUC off ebay or just use a laptop you pulled out of a dumpster?
The key there is "knowingly." For those who want to litigate, proving that he's lying is incredibly difficult. You would need some kind of internal message from Musk directly saying that "X will not be profitable in 2024" right before he posted. I doubt anyone will actually sue him over this.
more or less, a tree is highly beneficial to the environment, it takes a long time to replace it (10+ years for that size, which is important for many other species, if only it manage to grow back), a human is not often beneficial on the other side

we could compare human and an insect even, or a human and a whale, it's not really about size
This is obviously not a popular opinion, but: I think this is great news. In the world of Meta dominating social media (+ TikTok now de facto in 2nd spot), we need diversity in the field.

Twitter (X) definitely changed in the past year, but I see it as a positive change (maybe it's my bubble) - my tech feed is no longer polluted by people fighting about left vs right, Trump etc, my feed is now tech people sharing tech-related content and I love it.

No, but they will certainly sue Tesla for copious sums of money via civil suits and worker's comp; if the company is operating unlawfully and at cause for their injury.

The perpetual "at will is abusive by design" argument doesn't apply to a) Good Faith covenant states and b) places where the reward for abuse far outweighs a continued employment.
Would you please read the YAML spec before creating an entire website ranting about something you clearly don't understand???
In my experience my Raspberry Pi 3, running Kodi, was able to keep up with a 720p MPEG2 stream as long as I had no network hiccups.

Not sure what file format your Raspberry Pi is trying to transcode from though.
It may have originally looked a bit more like the wall of Rindoon, County Roscommon, Ireland: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rindoon_Wall_28-10-2...

Rindoon is one of the most intact medieval villages (ruins). Thankfully it hasn't yet been vandalised, reconstructed or commercialised. As common for archaeological sites across Ireland, it is an amazing place to visit, particularly as you'd probably have it all to yourself to explore depending on season and day.
Even paper cuts for office workers, I kid you not. While this, paper cuts, may sound excesive, the system allows forba close, and reliable, monitoring of the more serious accidents. So it is a good thing.
Likewise. I thought it would be about some kind of "name a star" service, but now you get not only a star, but all the celestial bodies in orbit, too. The linked article says, "Rooftop Solar Power..." which is much more clear.
Yes, it's truly unfair that Tesla is being associated with him!
It sounds like (the article is really not clear on the important details) the incentives were set up correctly i.e. if the hardware you lease is faulty then you will not lose out monetarily. But the companies can somehow just get away with not fulfilling their contractual obligations and so in reality you do lose out and you're just forced to pay for a service you don't receive?

Nikola was also public, and therefore had a higher level of regulatory scrutiny.
There's no reason the GPU can't chain boot a UEFI implementation on a few MB of onboard flash, though
While I don't intend to register as a non-profit (there's CatalogChoice already), I could see registering as a Benefit Corporation / B Corp. Would that hold any weight, or would you still just view that as "an SF tech startup"?

There is no pitch deck for Mel as I don't intend to raise VC funding – precisely because I don't want to be pressured into doing something that goes against my values like selling user data.
"Peace for our time" by Chamberline and Germany's dependence on Russia are as falsified as you can be in politics. Chomsky would probably support both :)
Since fashion and marketing are driving our industry I'm sort of even scared to come up with proposals of other clever/smart/cheap solutions. So my gut reaction to any of these (Amazon, Google, MS, Oracle ... etc) is probably similar to yours. But that is the world we live in.
I had honestly forgotten that they had hired her for a moment. I guess that answers the question if Musk was really going to step aside and let her take the reigns.
I mean... Don't they?
You're overthinking it. The rust argument often boils down to:

Rust = Safety. Those things sound unsafe, therefore Rust solves them.
A human foot has no place walking above melted aluminum. Since I don't think that anyone was reckless enough to design such a route, let alone this design pass multiple sign offs, chances that someone found and used some shortcut are not small.
For publicly traded companies (which X no longer is) you can always get in on the action, and short the stock.

Thanks for your explaination! I have no doubt that that proportion of men are gay, but I wouldn't have thought there was a natural follow on between that and the amount of gay pornography produced. I'm seeing elsewhere that roughly 1 in 2 straight men watch porn, so from that we could maybe exrapolate that there's more porn porduced per straight man than per gay man (https://www.cosmopolitan.com/sex-love/a5280496/straight-men-... -- I hope Cosmo is as trustworthy a source as the Times of India).

Interesting about the percentage of videos on the unnamed site. But I would wonder: What is the percentage breakdown by views?

Also, do note that section 2 of the study is entirely dedicated to gay pornography and goes to lengths in discussion the framing of misogynistic norms that are being represented in gay pornography.

Obamacare sucks if you are anywhere above "barely scraping by." The annual deductibles are really high too. $9,100 a year will break someone making $50K a year. I wholeheartedly supported it when it was passed, but it just ain't good. More damage to the middle class who pays for it with higher premiums.

>In 2023, you'll typically be eligible for ACA subsidies if you earn between $13,590 and $54,360 as an individual, or between $27,750 and $111,000 for a family of four.

>For the 2023 plan year: The out-of-pocket limit for a Marketplace plan can’t be more than $9,100 for an individual and $18,200 for a family.

Lockdowns were never tried, at least in the USA.

What the USA did was obviously going to be ineffective. "Stay At Home Suggestions" that were routinely ignored, business "closures" that were unenforced, mask "mandates" that you could ignore by simply being belligerent with a shopkeeper. There's no way to know whether actually staying at home and keeping distance from people would have worked, because nowhere was it tried.
Tesla accelerated the mass adoption of electric cars by at least a decade. Tesla’s workplace safety stats and their rate of progress are inextricably linked. If a 3x injury rate vs similar companies is cost of such progress, definitely worth it.
Musk's Cybertruck will self-drive over to the X-branded office to pick up the bags of cash.
I had two displays side by side, only one of them 144Hz. It was awful. Also I kinda can’t stand 60Hz anymore. Neither desktop nor gaming. I try to retain 100fps+, since for me the magic starts around 90.

Some people can’t see the difference. And some can’t see 60 vs 30 (not sure if they trolling). It’s highly subjective.
Sure it will, a site being served to absolutely no one and being paid for by a handful of people who died with automatically reoccurring subscriptions that won't be turned off for a wee while will turn a cent or two of profit.
How else would you know that “cout” is std::cout and not some other cout? /s

I replied to comments to add nuance but I read it not in general, just in the context of this article. My original text was about ground transportation but the nuance is that almost all Gas use is in ground transportation or small planes and small planes are the only real exception and even that has nuance. None of my comments disagree with original take that was focused on ground transportation. The world is not black and white. EVs only ground transport problem can be battery development while there also being a number of other things happening in other uses of fuel that also change things.
Court admissible evidence is more likely to turn up when it's front page news and people are digging though.

Same with the recent story about a famous pub called the Crooked House, which mysteriously caught fire a month after a new owner took over the closed premises and was demolished remarkably swiftly. Because it generated a lot of outrage (not from regular patrons, but from people who liked how it looked), it got more attention than your average arson where the owners were obvious suspects, and sure enough there have been actual arrests as well as rumours about other fires involving the same owners and evidence of demolition equipment having been leased the day before the fire
Define "demise"

It can get significantly worse and still be a going concern

Yeah, its definitely your bubble. I'm seeing much more racism, trolling, and abuse. And from talking with other folks (IRL) I don't think this is my own bubble either.
This is the new CEO who is taking over for Elon.
I wish this actually worked
My brother-in-law is an ER doctor who will get long shifts, especially overnight ones, where he's sleeping in the hospital bunker until he's needed. He said it's not a problem for him.

I had similar questions for him just last month. He pointed out that working so much keeps his critical skills really sharp which is what you want when you're doing surgery/emergency.

I suppose when you get woken up to intubate someone, you want it to be second nature rather than a faded skill you practice every couple months because you dropped down to saner hours. But he's also paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to do that.

Fun fact: he said one of the most preventable deaths he sees in the ER is people choking on food alone in their home. I think about that every time I almost choke to death on some gooey cheese. Make sure to chew well, folks.
You can’t just say you’re profitable. You need to declare it.
Too bad you aren't living in a nine planet system anymore.

With that definition any moral code can he universal.

I can support legalized murder and condemn everyone who doesn't, therefore creating the grounds to condemn anything else.

Some religions practice human sacrifice, including of children.[1]

My opinion is we're better off arguing there's a better moral code based on a number of arbitrary parameters (freedom, resource creation, comfort, longevity, equality, merit, envy management, violence management, respect for tradition, respect of minorities, etc). I can't see how you can declare a universal code of conduct, I can see how you can declare a technocratic liberal one.

Except Elon didn't say this. He's not the CEO.

"X Corp. Chief Executive Linda Yaccarino said on Wednesday..."
I'd be surprised if they didn't. Heck I'm a little surprised that its taking them this long. I'm guessing all those severance checks must have hurt.

Either way, a part of me really wishes Elon didn't the take company private. It would've been pretty cool to own a little piece of the rocket ship.

For those of you who are not convinced, lets put it this way:

We all stuck with Twitter for the better part of a decade under sub optimal management. A lot of you stuck with or are coming back to X despite being against the new values of the company & and its owner.

All is to say, the network effects are unfathomably strong. All they have to do is sprinkle in some monetisation via empowering the top 5% that actually creates stuff.

Easiest bet of the decade. I wouldn't be surprised if X becomes a 500b company by the end of the decade.
Right, but an "a" would be past the end of the digits, and the code assumes you know the end of the digits.

It would make more sense if it was talking about the string length. Then you might find a non-digit before the end. But it specifically says you know where the end of the digits is, not the end of the string.

Edit: Or, I'm trying to figure out what code might exist that found the end of the digits, but not always? The article says "assume you already know this", but computers aren't magic. There's code that figures out where the end of the digits is. So how does that code work, where it finds the end of the digits, but sometimes counts non-digits as digits?
Maybe a good thread to ask:

Does anyone know the term for the tense of speech that I've noticed popping up more and more frequently over the last decade or so? I first noticed it in sports but now it's everywhere.

It's something like stating a what-if as a present fact. Like, instead of saying "If he caught the pass, he could run it in for a touchdown," people say "he gets that pass and he goes all the way in for a touchdown."

I'm actually even struggling to come up with more examples because it's become so commonplace now.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
Also, if the second field is too much informative, I don't need to read a lot of articles anymore.
Who are the investors? Musk bought them out.
Good question. A dosing oven is normally an oven which doses out a particular amount of product to be baked (such as for example bread etc). It could be something automotive (paint/plastic curing, etc.) or it’s not completely beyond the realms of possibility that this is a conventional bread dough dosing oven (see VW part 199 398 500 A), but seems unlikely.
It was Yaccarino not Musk who said it, FYI

(That's why you read the article, kids)
Probably so. Still, that doesn't absolve the devs of blame here as well.
I think it'll be difficult or perhaps even practically impossible to detect if a single blob of text is generated by AI in the future. However I think we'll find there's a practical means of determining if multiple blobs of text in a set of blobs was generated by AI. For example, if you have a class of students turning in reports on the same topic: an AI would produce similar outputs for roughly the same prompts because it was trained in a specific way. Those reports would have some statistical similarities.

But this isn't an AI detection system, it's a general cheating detection system. I'd expect it to also detect if one person wrote the reports for multiple students and simply rephrased each report. But if the intention is to detect cheating, that's not a bad thing.

> Battery damage at a guess. Video streaming can be pretty power hungry (you’re running the camera, encoding the video, and flinging those bits over the air) on a device that sits on your face.

I thought about that, but surely internal battery resistance would be lower at lower temperatures?

The other thing I thought about is some movable part of the device, such as a lens that has some actuation. You might just refuse to work at near freezing temperatures to prevent damage to that?
Lying to users about your product is illegal under false advertising laws. Now, proving that in court is a lot easier said than done.
They multiply like mad, but the total numbers are kept in check by the number of predators.

The bureaucratic mess in Germany is in part related to making everything safe and less interfaring in everyday life. This sort of accidents must occur across the globe but it is difficult to cover in Germany (and western Europe).
>Also automatic rewriting the whole codebase could work but that’s just a research direction at this point even for google as far as I know, and chrome probably isn’t the kind of thing you just auto-rewrite and it works right away (maybe I’m pessimistic)

GPT4 is extremely good at translating between programming languages without error. The hard part is there's way to much code to feed to it all at once, so the naive approach of just feeding it all in wouldn't work, and doing it file-by-file would cause problems as GPT wouldn't understand the functions defined in other files.
Not sure why the poster chose that headline, there's nothing in the piece about Snowden (who didn't do it for money).
Good for you for only thinking about your experience. If only everyone would be similarly narrow-minded, then X could truly thrive.
I'm getting close to line speed with a USB 3.0 Ethernet adapter plugged into a laptop, so the adapter itself shouldn't be the bottleneck. I get 109KB/s ftp transfers to a NVMe drive.
That might cause some unintended friction which will cause over regulation and ultimately cause longer delays in the long term.
I’m not surprised the comments here are universally skeptical so far, but I’ll chime in that I think it’s plausible. The largest expense by far was compensation and with 10% the previous workforce it dropped dramatically. The question is how much revenue would have fallen. In the HN bubble X is basically over and everyone has moved to Mastodon, but there has been little change in the folks I follow. Are journalists and ordinary folk leaving en masse as well?
I don't feel less spied on by passing all of my traffic through anything related to Microsoft.
This is the correct language from the perspective of how things ought to be done, and journalists in the USA would do well to follow this example.
The anti-Musk fervour never ceases to amuse me

Reddit is literally wall to wall 'musk empire crashing' for the past 4 years and yet the progress continues (largely) unabated.

It's all very odd.
I really hate to be that guy, but I'm afraid that Cloudflare partnering with every browser to offer a VPN is just going to draw the attention of authorities, who would force them to install their censorship policies and force flow logging on all proxying services of this kind, effectively killing the purpose of such services.

There is already precedent for this happening in Russia; in that incident every VPN pulled out of the country. However if everyone enforces it, it's gonna be hard.

From a purely technical perspective this seems to equivalent to Apple Private Relay _iff_ the operator for the ingress and egress are two different endpoints, which it is not clear from the presentation.

In the case of APR Apple has their own servers (mask-h2.icloud.com) that accepts connections and obscures the IP <-> website mapping for their exit relay providers, who are Cloudflare, Akamai and Fastly at the moment.

If they are the same operator, because of the ClientHello permutation in Chromium based browsers[1] such as Edge, Cloudflare gets a high-entropy identifier + IP address, which, along with SNI header inspection, could be theoretically used to identify individual users.
