> Why is it a good thing?

For privacy related matters, as it's clearly designed to make it obvious that someone is taking a picture. It's good because it's an hidden camera targeted at mass market. The likelihood that it could be abused would be high if it would be trivial to do it.

> Aka the general public. Why should the not-you "general public" be restricted, but not you?

Everybody should be restricted by default. If someone from the general public finds a way to hack it and bypass this restriction, I hope they have good conscience to use it an an ethical way. For what I would like to use it, I believe it would be ethical (as for what's considered ethical among street photographers and concerning street photography laws where I live).
Wasn't there an article published recently about the ads team asking the search team to make the results less relevant to boost Google's revenue?
Where I am in the US, insurance is more than excise taxes/fees. But even if you don't drive a huge number of miles/kms annually--I probably drive about 5k miles these days--you can still more or less need one day-to-day and want one for things like heading off hiking. I don't drive a lot of miles but absolutely could not live without a car.
Maybe I am just being unimaginative but it seems that civil society with its institutions evolved precisely to handle conflicts and allocate resources between individuals who lack a strong emotional bond. Those bonds do exist in families and it seems over the long run that families are probably the exception to the need for intermediating institutions.

I bet successful private communities, intentional communities, etc. basically speedrun the recreation of the broader civil society they exist within.

This reads as extremely tone deaf and relatively privileged. Which isn't surprising given the cavalier attitudes towards impoverished people that I've seen many tech workers hold. I'm very glad that you have access to fresh produce on a regular basis. That is not the reality for everyone around the world, let alone everyone in developed nations.

Are vegetables still cheap when you need to travel miles and/or hours away from your place of residence/work? What about if you don't have own a personal vehicle and depend on public transit? When you need to work 3 jobs in order to not become homeless and then still care for multiple children, is it as easy to justify spending several hours of transit back and forth?

We aren't just talking about people eating fast food. That's only a percentage of the people who rely on "junk food" to survive. There are people who source 100% of their calories from a gas station because all the grocery stores, both small-bussiness and corporate, have closed due to crime and/or economic hardship.

There are places where even the local Dollar Tree shuts down. Leaving only gas stations or service stations some of which even keep many things behind bulletproof plexiglass to reduce theft. Would you really want to bus and walk around with a bag full of fresh produce when everyone else is just as hungry as you? That's if the metro service even still runs in your area.

Food deserts are a reality for many people and you have the luxury to live in an areacode that doesn't deal with this due to your relatively high paying IT job. And before you say "everyone can learn to code", no, they can't. Learning new skills requires free downtime that many don't have the luxury of. Many people spend every waking hour working and even sleep less that is healthy in order to work more.

This is only exacerbated when they don't have the fundamental math/science education that CS requires due to chronic underfunding of school districts in those same areacodes. Or even access to any computers besides mobile devices provided "for free" via a monthly service plan. Regardless of how difficult your upbringing was, it's extremely evident that you don't grasp many of the privileges you have had access to during your lifetime.

I can't find the exact statistics at the moment, but a larger than I would like percentage of the US pet food supply chain is consumed by humans. Are you really saying that people who need to eat dog food to get enough calories to not starve to death are just doing that because they are too lazy to go to a grocery store and cook vegetables into a soup?

>And that's exactly the kind of transition people into ham radio don't want.

Which is a problem. It would be cool to experiment in these bands and then later switch to others when you want to commercialize.

>A vulnerability on what security?

If you wanted to send a private message to someone the expectation is that the message should be private and not publically snoopable.

>Everything done on the ham bands is public

Everything on the internet is public too in the sense that people who can listen in between have access to what is sent.

>If you want the internet, use the internet.

This is accepting defeat to the internet. I say that we should see more competition.
There’s something I’ve always enjoyed about Wolfram’s willingness to put the rules aside and formulate theories based on intuition and out-of-the-box thinking. I don’t think he’s right here, but it’s that kind of thinking that sometimes leads to important scientific discoveries.
Based on the number of posts I’ve seen about arena allocators on here the last month or so, I’d say the audience is much higher than nonzero.
I agree with this sentiment of lack of learning materials. I've been through the Liveview for elixir 2.5 times, and the programming pheonix book when it came out, and the they cover the simpler things of elixir. But they don't cover some of the benefits listed in the article (background jobs, service wide state, etc) with solid examples. But maybe I'm not thinking about it the right way because I am coming from a rails or whatever perspective.

I've been brainstorming writing my own book that covers elixir pheonix crud, auth, background jobs, live view, (+ more?) using a twitter-clone example, which feels sufficiently complex. Basically writing a book that I wish existed.
I use the free version and your example shows a vast improvement, indeed. 3.5 looks like a summary of Google results, while 4 actually gives a relevant answer. I don't have much insight into the differences between these versions, assumed that the biggest difference is "just" the training corpus.
No, DC is more efficient over long distances than AC. AC transmission has huge losses due to capacitive effects caused by the alternating current.

AC also has WORSE voltage drop than DC because it exhibits something called the skin effect that causes the middle of your cable to not be used as much to carry current.

Tesla triumphed over Edison because we didn’t have the technology to step between voltages back then. DC transformers are still incredibly expensive. AC transformers are coils of wires.

That reminds me of the box-ticking code of conduct/ethics of SQLite, derived from the guidelines of a Christian monastery.

https://www.sqlite.org/codeofethics.html

I'm not much of one for Christian theology, but there is a lot of wisdom in the document. I especially like rules 14 through 19, I think those principles are found across faiths and creeds, and worthy of aspiration.

I do not, and in fact there is no power at all close to the parking spots. It's a fairly typical (at least in the US) setup with a mid-rise building set back from a shared parking lot. The spots in front of the building aren't too far away so they could presumably get EV chargers installed, but it would require at minimum installing new circuits in the building and running electricity to the parking spots. The spots across the lot would require a more complex cable install since they're not adjacent to the building.

I'm sure it would be doable, but non-trivial. And maybe most importantly, something the building would rather do for more than one resident at once, so it would take some sort of critical mass. Buildings with parking garages might have it easier since they already have power of some kind in the garage, although you still need to solve the billing problem somehow. New buildings seem to be addressing this, but retrofits in existing buildings are going to be a long tail here I imagine.
> Most pedestrian result from pedestrians doing stupid things, like walking in the middle of the road at night wearing black while drunk.

A ridiculous notion not supported by anything you've linked. Somehow it's the most vulnerable road users that are at fault?

If that's the case, then why are pedestrian death rates in the US so bad compared to Europe? Do european pedestrians do fewer stupid things? Do they drink less?

> The most dangerous roads are multilane roads e.g. highways: "among 60 roads that had the most pedestrian deaths during 2001-2016, all were roads with adjacent commercial retail space, nearly all were multilane roads"

If there's adjacent commercial space, it's not a highway, it's a stroad. The article explains it quite well:

"There’s no single explanation for why it’s getting more dangerous to walk on US roads, but there are a few major contributing factors. One is deadly road design."

"A stroad is the worst of both worlds, and is incredibly dangerous to pedestrians. The data bears this out: In 2021, the latest GHSA report says, 60.4 percent of pedestrian fatalities happened on such roads, which often lack infrastructure that would make it safe for pedestrians, such as good lighting and frequent crosswalks. As a consequence, many of the people killed last year were struck at night."

"Another major factor contributing to climbing pedestrian fatalities is the American love affair with big vehicles. Over the last 20-plus years, US consumers have turned away from the small cars that used to dominate our roadways in favor of increasingly larger SUVs and light trucks. These larger, heavier vehicles create big blind spots and are more deadly to pedestrians when they strike them — especially children. From 2000 to 2019, smaller vehicles such as sedans dropped from 60 percent of all vehicles to around 40 percent, while the number of SUVs surged, from 10 percent to over 30 percent. In 2021, trucks and SUVs made up more than 80 percent of new vehicle sales, and there’s little sign of that trend abating"

Personal responsibility isn't a useful concept when it comes to safety. Safety can only be achieved when the infrastructure is designed for it.

Putting up a speed limit sign isn't going to slow down a vehicle, shining a red light at it is not going to stop it, a line on the road isn't going to prevent a vehicle from crossing it. That's how pedestrians and cyclists die.

Reducing lanes down to one will stop overtaking and narrowing lanes will slow vehicles down, as will introducing turns and twists. Putting up a physical barrier between the road and a cycle path will prevent cars from intruding on the cyclists. Safety by design, not by wishful thinking.
My understanding is that later pre-Zen APUs and Zen chips all essentially have the HSA hardware side... it's just that AMD never managed to prepare a long-term coherent software offering like nvidia did with CUDA. So outside of one-offs or very closed platforms like consoles, the HSA capabilities were just... lying there, used as super fast PCI-e alternative to access the GPU.

Now consider that with Phoenix Point APUs you have Zen 4 CPU, memory controllers, IO controller, RDNA3 GPU, and the XDNA "transputer-like" coprocessor, all hanging off common cache coherent transport (Infinity Fabric). All the hardware parts are there.
The funny thing is that the same jokes were popular in the countries behind the Iron Curtain between the people who drove Trabants.
Honest question, if its so great an ecosystem why is it not adopted more?

I can cite some easily available public stats: Scholar, which is compared to numpy, has like 0.001% of its popularity. (While there are rumors people buy likes on github I doubt this is something affecting the numpy project).

Maybe the reason believers in elixir/erlang are more passionate is precisely because there is no obvious reason there isn't major adoption?

My best guess is that the missing ingredient are major corporate interests that directly or indirectly are promoting the technology. E.g the usual big tech suspects seem to be absent. For better or worse, they are the ones dangling lucrative jobs prospects etc.

But if its a technology delivering the goods people would gravitate to it sooner or later. Would be interested if more informed people can add their insights
Agreed, dedicated charging of any kind seems like the answer. I may actually suggest such an option to my condo board...would be an interesting use-case.
G's quality has gone down drastically over the years. Back in 2017-18-19 it was unmatched. These days you have to use all sorts of hackery to get it to find what you need. And that goes for most google products I'm afraid. At this point their phones and gcp are the only product I don't have complaints about. Don't get me wrong, I still use google for searching but it's becoming increasingly irritating to mix quotes, explicit inclusions and exclusions and all that. I've been fiddling about with Kagi and I gotta say, it does behave like google used to 5 years ago. I feel like I'm not far from becoming a paying customer.

Have you considered that there may not be any secrets because it doesn't allow for privacy? The law is holding it back from its true potential.
Why does it matter if your credit card gets picked up before your transit card? If there's a discount or pass on the transit card, seems like the agency should let you attach it to your credit cards instead of requiring you to get a separate card.

Somehow I haven’t found anything as good as the internet radio streams that I was listening to with Winamp back in the day… alas now I can’t even remember the name of the big trance / electronic / etc internet-radio group-of-stations website

(Is internet-radio still a thing? Like dedicated internet-radio stations, as opposed to IRL-radio stations who happen to have a web player. I don’t even remember the name of the shoutcast index, and shoutcast itself seems to have been bought out several times over. My gut tells me that on-demand streaming like spotify + podcasts have probably totally killed the space that internet radio used to occupy...)

It sounds mad but because of the process isolation within the language you can trust running services within your application and message passing can be local or to a different machine in the BEAM cluster. It opens up a whole new way to think about a runtime once everything is an actor model process with a mailbox you can send messages to.

It's much better than having to worry about extra infrastructure, just deploy your app and because it's code you control you can customise what the queue is going in really bespoke and application specific ways.

Sloop is pretty good for helping you understand events over time. It has an embedded database so you need to be careful with resources (apparently it's possible to split separately if required). Filtering out extraneous events can help minimise resource utilisation - it's amazing how many events a real-world cluster can generate running things like Kyverno, Flux etc. https://github.com/salesforce/sloop

If you consume HN with a feedreader that pulls the feed fairly often you will see posts get flagged and “disappeared” which is what I call it when HN deletes the link from a post (but my feedreader still has it).

Usually when the post’s link disappears I can see why if I hit the link in my feedreader, but I would say that at least a third of the time when I see a post flagged, it’s hard to see why logically, so I usually assume it’s some zealot who feels the duty to protect all of us from hearing or reading things they don’t like.

As a Swede, perhaps I can shed some light on the "Tesla situation".

Tesla is not breaking the law when they don't sign a collective agreement with IF Metall. Tesla would not break any laws if they brought in workers from other countries, as long as those workers are able to get work visas or are from countries within the EU. They WOULD be breaking the law if they tried to fire employees for going on strike, so they would end up paying double salary.

However, Tesla's real problem is not the law. It is the solidarity between unions in Sweden. Once the IF Metall strike gets going, other unions will join in. Tesla's business would grind to a halt in days and people who own a Tesla would not be able to get their cars serviced anywhere. All this is a given, since there is absolutely no chance that the Swedish unions will back down.

A number of years ago, Toys'r'us tried the same thing. They were brought to their knees in about a week, if memory serves. They ended up signing the agreement, despite the fact that they had also said that "they never signed agreements with the unions". They had apparently not done their homework when it comes to "the Swedish model". Their stance was simply impossible, as is Tesla's.

There are two things I don't understand:
1. What does Tesla think will happen? Do they really think that they can do business in Sweden without getting along with the unions?

2. Why are they so negative towards unions? The Swedish model is built on a century of cooperation between employers and unions and it is working very well. I have myself been on the employer side many times when speaking to unions, and by far the most common situation is that we have good and productive discussions, where both parties are focused on helping the company to succeed. There are of cours exceptions, but they are not very common.
It's also a much larger model which is slower and more expensive to run, which is why they can't offer it for free. The improvement is not always obvious at first glance but it is massive. I assume they will eventually be able to distill it into a smaller model that they can offer for free. I'm actually surprised that hasn't happened yet, especially given the fast progress in shrinking open source models.

Are you able to highlight the text on the PDF? If so, I highly recommend PDF2TXT to extract text from PDFs. Would require some parsing work on your part to convert it back to a table, but zero chance of error from inference since it’s using text extraction.

Just accept you made a weird and disingenuous comparison. It doesn't matter what it reads and it doesn't matter what you think of it. So what, a PHD in physics isn't enough to post about theories ? You don't have to believe or like his theories but your Jordan talk makes no sense here.

I haven't found these to be useful yet. GPT-4 is great at anything that it knows from its training set, but it's not so good yet at incorporating knowledge from the web.

I think the problem is that doing a good job of web search requires multiple rounds of clicking results, reading, recognizing low quality results, revising queries, etc. It's just too expensive and slow to do that with GPT-4 right now.

GPT-4 is likely capable of doing better, but it takes roughly as long as a human would take, and nobody wants to stare at a blank screen waiting for results that long, it's boring.
