Apple Maps is terrible at navigation anytime you get outside of just the largest metro areas.

There's multiple roads where it will tell you constantly to take a U turn while indicating a straight line visually.

It routinely lags weeks behind road closures.

It's lane suggestions are laughable at best.

I've driven many many miles around the US and Apple maps is easily a distant third between Waze and Google

Making a "European Edition" in a country that's constantly fighting to undermine the EU (and EU values like LGBTI+ rights and democracy), great idea. Definitely not buying this one.

Umm what? "Made in xxxx" documentation with a product is actually required by many security-conscious institutions such as customs.
If people don't eat they die. This is an extremely simplified reduction of a highly complex multidimensional process. Yet, it is true.
That would be a sad sad day.
They have tested it to 10 million cycles with no degradation, so that's where that figure comes from. It's not 10e7 before failures or 10e7 before failures at some particular rate. The assumption is it's somewhere higher than this but you can't tell without more testing.

> The process was repeated five times, resulting in a little over 10^7 program/erase cycles applied to the device. As can be clearly seen in Figure 4d, there is no degradation of the ∆IS-D window throughout these tests, meaning that the endurance is at least 10^7.

Wasn't that a big selling point of capitalism anyways? Have trade connections with even your enemy so you're less likely to start wars with them. Maybe this is a similar strategy that could get Hungary to undermine EU less because of the new economic connections?
I think it would be better to fix the public network than to split the network into millions of local networks...

The public design today still allows actual file transfers to be local over your local network - it is only metadata that goes over the public internet.

And give it to Google? I don't know which is worse.
It’s not that great a loophole, actually. The trick as a plaintiff is to start in civil court. Make the defendant move to compel arbitration and, if they’re successful, the court stays the civil action but retains jurisdiction. If the court orders arbitration and then the defendant refuses to participate, you have a judge you can go back to who has the power to do something about it.

At the expense of latency ? when in fact latency is the most important aspect for any search. Any idea on how fast the searches from the client are ?

retrieve the embedding index and to run an indexed search to identify the data to be retrieved. Please bear with the layman like questioning -

So if the data is {obj: "obj1, "data": {"name": "atlas", "embedding": "1123124234" } What is an embedding index ? Is it something like {"1123124234": "obj1"} ?

From what I understand the query will be "geography" whose embedding will be "12311111" and now you have to run a KNN for a match which will return {"name": "atlas", "embedding": "1123124234"}

Not sure where the embedding index comes into play here.
IIRC - he mentioned that someone _else_ had a DEC machine, and actually used it as their dev box. The dev with the DEC box person developed the kernel panic code, aka the blue screen of death - and blue was chosen because that's the default screen colour when the DEC box is turned on. The idea was to reset the colour to the default before printing the kernel panic message.

So while DEC NT is sort of a footnote, it did have this pretty profound influence : )
You aren’t forced to use a jury. If you feel a judge is less likely to convict you then you can use a bench trial.
Show HN: ZenStack – DSL to define data and access rules closer to the database
We're excited to announce the launch of ZenStack V1 after a year of refinement. With ZenStack, we introduce ZModel, a domain-specific language (DSL) that simplifies the definition of data and access rules, bringing it closer to the database level. This eliminates the need for extensive, repetitive coding on the application side.

We would love to hear your feedback and opinions on it. Thank you!

Lots of focus on RAG here, and rightfully so, but I feel an overlooked benefit to vector databases is the novel visualizations they provide. To be able to plot qualitative data onto a 2d graph with tsne reduction provides a new method with which to draw insights from. I think many companies would benefit from such a visualization tool, especially those in qualitative research.

It also requires something that western capitalism doesn't really structure itself around: an actual moral compass that isn't just shadow imperialism which is what "confessions of an economic hitman" involves.

You'd want to genuinely want improvement for the people. Not for enriching a new set of brutal and corrupt elites that will do the bidding of the CIA/IMF/whatever, but actually want the people's lives improved in living standards, education, economic independence, etc.

Kind of like how China fast-forwarded themselves. In rose tinted glasses, I can see the Belt and Road kinda being like that, but of course it left out the development of manufacturing / stealing of technology that really underpinned China's rise.

Of course the model, broadly speaking, makes sense. There are loads of boring, CRE rental providers. e.g. Regus. Which never had valuations in the billions, nor billions of VC inflow to subsidise the offering. WeWork is piss poor execution on a thin margin business.
A naturally distributed key/value store. NoSQL wasn't a product, it was a radical rethinking of the balance between what we wanted and what we needed. Turns out some absolute necessities of using a RDBMS or even using SQL are not that important, and relaxing those actually-not-requirements allows massive scalability, something we desperately needed, or some evolved data structures and computation, like what redis provides.
If academic is all politics and favoritism then wouldn't that also apply to the prizes at the top? The people deciding or at least confirming scientific breakthroughs for stuff like nobel prizes must be scientists too, no? So if it's all politics, why are they immune to it?

Google makes money, so they are happy to look away.

I personally think they know this about kids being addicted to YouTube too. I see so so so many kids in my life spend hours on end watching Minecraft videos and the likes. I get it, "the parents"!!! However if a child's parents don't have the time to police their kids internet usage, they fall victim to this pray very, very easily.

I have some friends who don't have a lot of money and they both work together running a cafe. The kids basically have to look after themselves because the parents are just too busy working. The kids just spend practically all their free time watching this shit.

Google cannot be so naive.

Internet discussions on divisive topics always contain morality/finger pointing. Goes for HN too. So I'm incredulous of your surprise seeing you've been around the internet for at least 7 years. For cars it's vehicle size or technology. For food it's animal or plant. There will always be a discussion and sometimes morality can't stay out of it.

Also GP moved the goal posts a bit, why "IRL"? Is our discussion here worthless or not representative because we're not "IRL"? Yes, I do have such discussions of morality of choices in real life too. It's easier to have them on the internet because separating from your identity helps make whatever case you want to make. IRL is harder because you can't just close the tab and pretend it never happened so if you have some convictions you have to really stand by them.

Am I to understand that you never, ever discuss the morality of things with anyone? Or just not cars? Not even in principle?
The article (and possibly the press release) seems to avoid EU in favour of Europe. But yes, it's not a great choice as far as countries is concerned; I think most countries would vote for them to leave if that were an option.

Since you havent looked, people are using Protocol Lab’s crypto version of IPFS to pin on IPFS

Filecoin+IPFS is far more free than any of the IPFS SaaS pinning services

and it has decent replication too

I serve over CDNs, of which there are many, and they cache well enough.

I use it to stay on Vercel and Netlify’s free tiers for my static assets, so my sites can have huge spikes in traffic but my static assets are not loaded from them.

Its free on free, big use case for exploratory projects

Having dedicated five transformative years to the realm of corporate software engineering, my journey has been marked by an evolving mastery over cutting-edge technologies. A considerable portion of my expertise lies in crafting modern, high-performance applications using TypeScript, React.js, and Node.js. These tools have enabled me to build scalable and responsive front-end interfaces, paired with robust back-end systems, ensuring seamless user experiences across the board. Furthermore, my proficiency in Docker ensures that the applications I develop are containerized and deployable across any environment, ensuring consistency and ease of scaling.

Should my profile align with your requirements, please do not hesitate to reach out via email. I would be pleased to provide my CV. After that, let's chat and see how we might work together.
You believe quarantines have no effect on the spread of contagions? With data on zero-covid countries (Australia, New Zealand, China, S Korea, Vietnam,...) so readily available for comparison...
I would actually fire you if you worked for me as an engineer. And for the fact that you were obviously not following quarantine procedures, for which you're now overcompensating by spreading medical disinformation. It's not hard spotting the people that caused all the deaths during covid. It's pretty easy actually.
EPDC stands for E-paper display controller, correct?

I found the Caster Verilog on your github repo. Are you planning on shipping with all the controller logic on an FPGA?

Interesting and cool approach. Is this something that is already commonplace in the display industry? I have seen VGA controllers on (bigger) Xilinxes years ago as demos but I haven't read about it on shipped display-related products.

Money Dashboard shutting down after 12 years

HubSpot startup program is weird.

We saw it advertised as 90% off on a startup platform we're part of, applied, and we were told since we're a bootstrapped business and haven't raised any money, we can only get 30% off.

It left a sour taste in my mouth.

If you're bootstrapping a business counting every penny of your own money, you're at disadvantage, but if you raised $2 million, we're happy to save some of your VC money!

I tend to agree with you, nature can be brutal but there are also fatal second and third order consequences for a society with no sharp/rough edges.

In other words, a society without consequences leads to "too big to fail" banks and other systemic distortions.

Those who invested billions into WeWork need to suffer the consequences and equally those who gave out leases to such institutions needs take their medicine too.

Maybe I’ve been using PostgreSQL too long but when faced with the choice of adding vector support to PostgreSQL or using a new technology, my first choice was to start with the PostgreSQL addition.

I’m not criticizing the specialized case for a true vector database, but for most workloads I agree that the big database players will be the right choice for many users.
Show HN: Vue Designer – A Visual IDE for Vue Apps
Hi, I’m Ahmed Kaja. For the past 2 years I have been working on finding a way to visually build Vue applications. As a developer I wanted such a solution for myself. The hardest challenge was finding a proper way to map rendered DOM back to the component source taking into account all different ways how Vue 3 components can be composed. And to keep the integration working for any Vite-based Vue project through a development only plugin.

The outcome is a desktop app named Vue Designer [1]. It is built on top of the Pinegrow web editor platform, so that it can use its existing HTML editing tools. Vue components of any Vite-powered app can be visually designed in Vue Designer, while keeping the code the only source of truth, so that you can use your favorite editor such as Visual Studio code.

Here is an example of building a Vuetify card component [2]. All component properties and data bindings can be controlled visually.

Vue Designer is agnostic to the meta-framework or component libraries and includes ready-made starter-templates for Vite, Nuxt, Iles, Astro, Tailwind CSS and Vuetify.

Would love it if you take Vue Designer for a spin with your Vue projects. Let me know how it goes, or if you need any assistance. We want to learn about any issues / obstacles, and improve it further. We also have a bunch of video tutorials [3] and detailed documentation to help you with quickly getting started.

Sure, ideally that'd be the case. But today that kind of isn't feasible as discovering and providing content is slow, but hopefully it gets better in the future with changes like this and more.

But what I wrote is how you can solve the issue today.

You can disagree with the tests or interpretation but it's easy to find the paper rather than just assuming no testing.

Endurance figures come from actual testing with their 20um version. Retention is based on looking at the decay over 14h. Since it decays to begin with then plateaus they look at fitting a line to it from some time before the plateau (otherwise the answer is "infinite years") which gives 10^7 hours.

Ummm... OLED very much shines into your eyes though. What's worse, if you don't want it to shine at top brightness it will additionally flicker, because unlike LCD it cannot be directly dimmed without PWM. If it's technically possible none of the OLED panels do it, even in top iphones.

There are a number of languages where there's been an alternative standard library developed, the problem is 'by stdlib do you mean standard-for-the-language or standard-for-you-to-code-against.'

But there was e.g. https://github.com/eloraiby/alt-std for rust, and for D there's a couple listed here - https://wiki.dlang.org/Alternative_Standard_Libraries

So if you're coming at it thinking in those terms, it's 'obviously' the right term to use to describe it.

Note that (a) I wasn't confused at all (b) it makes complete sense people -are- confused by it, and you're not at all wrong.
The clock frequency is GHz, which is a trillion cycles per seconds. There is at least one cache layer between the CPU and the RAM but we are in the same ballpark. And yet it's OK for the typical lifetime of our computers.
> The problem is a judicial review system that's extremely hesitant to consider exculpatory evidence following a conviction... and here we have an edge case where the conviction was gained by discredited scientific means. Science adapts quickly to new evidence and new methods, and quickly discards old ones; the courts don't work that way.

To expand on that, appeals are not intended to re-litigate the facts. They are there to fix procedural mistakes during trial, or wrong argumentation of how the law should be applied.

The question of 'what happened' is generally not up for debate during appeal, and is generally not grounds for lodging an appeal. Instead, appeals are meant for when the law was applied wrong. Or when a trial was unfair due to a judge's mistake. Effectively, it is meant to protect you against judge's mistakes and unscrupulous prosecutors. There is much less protection against experts that happen to be wrong.

It seems to me that a system like that is fundamentally incompatible with a death-penalty, since it leaves a decent amount of space for mistakes that go uncorrected.
