YouTube recommendations are a huge source of traffic for creators. Even if they could move all of their subscribers to another platform they would be losing a ton of traffic (and therefore ad revenue). I think this discovery is the biggest difficulty in making a YouTube competitor.

> Yes, you can refinance to a lower rate. It’s easy and people do it all the time.

It's almost unbelievable how easy it can be.

I got a call from the company that held my mortgage asking why I hadn't responded to the refinance offer they had sent me. I told them I wasn't aware of any such offer. They said they had FedExed an offer to me a couple weeks earlier.

I went and looked on the front porch, and sure enough there was a thick FedEx package there. I hadn't noticed that because I used the back door as my main entry/exit door.

Inside was all the paperwork, prefilled, for a refinance with instructions that said all I had to do to accept was call them and tell them, and then they would send a notary to meet me at home or at my office with a copy of the documents for me to sign.
They mention this, the frameworks that are missing are copied from earlier releases.

Plus, outside of the core competency issue, Rivian makes trucks and commercial vans.

UPS or others could start to buy Rivian products. But if Amazon owns them, and is using them for their own fleet, thus competing with Amazon Delivery Services, UPS would then be buying from the competition

This could kill potential deals.
My reaction was the same. Honestly I hadn’t even thought about it until I started reading the article… I too would say it is linear for me. The circle I can get, but some of the weirder ones, I wonder if people answering this survey were just making it up for the fun of it.

Holy shit, I never heard anyone talk about GORILLA.BAS. It's also the first code I ever read, in 8th grade algebra class w/ Mr. Seaman (serious).

I didn't have a computer so I wrote a lot of BASIC in composition books, instead. I never got to run any of that code.

Also DOS32.BAS represent! VB6 was all I wanted to do when I got my first PC. It took me like a month to download a warez copy overnight with a download resumer. My dad wouldn't let me use the phone line during the day.

I used vb6 to make about 15k in high school in a slightly unsavory way.

In Germany some people might ask "Hey, let's meet up on calendar week 42", but I then always have to quickly google "when is week 42". I think people who are in the office a lot and have management meetings will know these weeks better.

But only very recently a couple of friends of mine mis-communicated because they had a different week in mind ("so how about we meet this Wednesday?" - "I thought you wrote calendar week 33, not 32, I'm away on seminar all week.")

I much prefer "Hey, let's meet up on the week of November 6th" (the date being the Monday of the week).

Hey! (thanks for expounding on your concerns).

The claim from the article is that a fixed 'charge to 80% feature' is "likely possible on earlier models". I asked Apple to comment and am curious what they say. We do have evidence for the article's claim: iPhones dating back to at least the iPhone 8 support a feature that limits charging to 80% for multiple hours per day already. It just only occurs during hours Apple chooses via its learning algorithm. I never claim that the hardware is/is-not different; you simply have to look at what is already supported to understand what the devices are capable of.
Gotcha — just making sure I wasn't missing the comparison.

I don’t know. I trust Google the most. They’re basically an aimless company with the strongest technically secure infrastructure I’ve seen with the strongest privacy policies implemented (just read about their infra). I think people give in to what people say versus say what they do. Just because Google runs an ad company doesn’t mean shit. What they’ve done with your data (their “actions”) for the past 25 years means way more (they absolutely do nothing with your data — in fact, they seem to completely waste it).

The link between 23andme and Google is tangential at best. Anne Wojcicki and Sergey Brin were married and that’s it, but they are completely two different people.

I have no idea how you’d ever consider 23andme a reputable company. Reputation comes from 20+ years of history — your actions, not what you say. 23andme is not even 20 years old yet — how can you trust something that young?
> Unused bookings are pure profit for them

They want to be fully booked, because not only does it avoid the appearance and vibe of being a "ghost town", they also make a lot of money on things like the hotel bar, minibars, laundry services, etc.

If a room stays un-used, the marginal cost to the hotel does not actually decrease much, especially not in the short term.

They still pay the same to their laundry contract, they still pay the same rent, they still pay for the front of house staff and the chefs to be there, and they still pay to heat / AC most of the hotel.

They might save very marginally on some room AC not being on as much, and eventually if the reduced bookings was noticeable might negotiate a smaller laundry contract, reduce head count, but at that point you just look like a failing hotel.

I'm confident if you looked at the accounts, it's more profitable for a guest to turn up than not, even if the guest still paid for the booking.

For side projects I don't bother with tickets, but keep a plain markdown journal with todo lists. Every project directory (that contains the git repo) will also have a "meta" subdirectory that contains journal/logs/notes, and that folder name is prefixed with `_` so it's at the top.

Writing a project journal might seem onerous to some people, but if you get into a habit of writing, it gets easier. Eventually the cognitive load becomes trivial. And it's so valuable when you're returning to a project that you dropped for a year.

I started a daily journal writing habit a long time ago (~15 yrs), and it has evolved a lot since then. Specifically, now I write a work journal for every dayjob, and an individual one for each side project. My system has gotten more complex over time, so there are other notes files, but basically you just have to get into the habit and evolve your own system that makes sense to you as you go.

I probably shouldn't even mention this because it sounds crazy, but another thing that really helps me is that I arrange my source code based on each major feature, with scripts that can assemble/build/test the app at that stage. For example, it's nice to be able to get a version of the app that has no user accounts, and another version with account authentication. Yes, you could rely on `git checkout <hash>` to go back to an earlier stage of development in the code base, but that doesn't include subsequent iterations+refactoring that you might have done for that feature. Well, I'm not recommending that you do this, so I'm not going to say any more.
I have a preenFM3, great little synth. Interestingly enough, Yamaha instruments are still called "FM" synths when they use Phase Modulation synthesis. for true FM synthesis, things like operator feedback are impossible.

(that's right, they aren't true FM synths!)

FM, PM and PD are all subtypes of waveshaping synthesis.

The preenFM2 & PreenFM3 are actually FM synths. And it does sound a bit different from the Yamaha stuff from the 80s and 90s!

OpenTelemetry's Java implementation does this, but it actually does it in a way that non-GRPC things can access this context as well by ensuring that it propagates throughout both the CoroutineContext and the thread-local state that's used by OpenTelemetry itself to propagate tracing information into Java code that is used by a Kotlin coroutine that happens to execute code that was written in Java.

e.g., I handle a request, get the incoming context, have to stash it because I might execute a coroutine that is suspended/resumed across different threads, and subsequently then execute another GRPC call in a Java library, that happens to start, get rescheduled and resume on receiving the response on a different thread, in a possibly different thread pool.

The OpenTelemetry handling for this is quite complex: it must be used as a javaagent so it can actually instrument underlying libraries with the necessary code for handling thread scheduling/context switches in both thread pools (e.g., ForkJoinPool), threads themselves, with cooperative scheduling in application code (e.g., Thread) and Kotlin's coroutine handling with is mostly codegen (e.g., async, suspend fun.)

Finally, in my own Ph.D. work, we did a similar thing to propagate trace identifiers for a dynamic analysis for fault injection, and we quickly ran into a problem that --- not only is the propagation difficult in itself --- but, you also run the risk of running out of header space if you store any (longish?) information when GRPC is run over HTTP2 because of the maximum allowed header size.
Huh?

We space users all use the tab key. We just make sure our editor replaces them with spaces as we type because of decades of bitter experience with how mixed tabs and spaces behave over time.

The more interesting question is why tab users haven't noticed that we use mandatory auto-code-formatting these days, to make sure all your tabs are belong to us.

This is probably not the place to write a full post-mortem, I will save that for a blog post or something, but here are a few points:

* 2008 was a really bad time to launch a chip startup

* Epiphany predated RISC-V...nobody wants a new ISA

* With <$7M raised in 9 years it was starved, there was no way to turn architeture into a good market fit (this would have required $50-$100M in tapeouts, CPU licensing, IO licensing, sw,sw,sw,,,). This is the problem we are trying to address now.

Epiphany did find some customer end applications (machine vision for example) and the Parallella board shipped in volume. The volumes and number of customers just wasn't big enough. Everybody wants to be the next ARM, Nvidia, but there is only room for 1-2 on earth.
Ofc Epic had to ruin everything

You might be surprised if you visit r/georgism.

But the point is that if you don't do auctions, you don't know how to price the LVT, and you don't actually know if the resulting inefficiencies are more significant than the core problem with taxing productive land use that Georgism tries to address.

Does training an LLM on a variety of different languages improve its reasoning and understanding in other languages?

For example, if GPT-5 (or whatever next gen model) was trained on a staggering amount of high quality Norwegian tokens that talk about medicine, city life, romance, maths, etc... would it be able to apply those concepts & learnings to other languages?

I'm trilingual and have ~100% of transfer of knowledge/reading I learn/read in one language into the others, curious to see if LLMs are like that.
What you value from a love poem from your SO is not how well written is it or how beautiful is it. You value that your SO wrote it. It doesn't matter if it's utterly ugly, you don't care about it because what matters for you is who wrote the poem. So I don't see the value of using ChatGPT to write a poem for your SO. I mean, you can just copy a poem from a good poet, change a few things, and it would be probably much much better than whatever ChatGPT can make.

But table columns are separated visually by whitespace otherwise you can't separate them in many cases when the text is glued together! (in richer formatting schemes this is achieved by border padding)

So, say, for TSV files (where you can't add spaces as that would affect the field values) you'd just have an editor with this feature let the max-width columns be glued, correct?

And speaking of wiki, the key part of tab is this (the etymology is just a historical artifact that should have no effect on what the best design is):

Desktop software runs with fewer protections than web applications. So unless everyone is planning on becoming SELinux experts tomorrow, the web still makes sense for a lot of stuff.

Hence why exploits like these are always about getting software installed onto the host rather than being 100% JS.

And before anyone says “but package managers solve this problem”, no they don’t. There have been numerous cases of compromised software leaking into office repositories. It happened with a Ubuntu package were an attacker hacked the upstream repository. It’s happened with npm. Browser extensions from Google and Firefox repos are frequently a source for Trojans. Android and iOS have lots of apps that appear to be free torches or other such utilities but are actually just harvesting all your data. Just because a software package is published to an official repository, it doesn’t make that package safe.
It's much worse in this particular case. They purposefully had to lock the feature behind a device flag to prevent older phones (that still support the newest OS) from using it. I'd expect that they could easily enable the feature for all phones that also support Optimize Battery Charging.
