Regarding your first point, combining 3 API calls into one: Well, it is just one line of code on your server. But you have put the rest of the logic into the Merge/Nango server. Maybe via some point and click interface. But it is still there. So your complexity went up, not down.

Regarding your second point, APIs don't change just nilly willy from /v1/ to /v2/ and let you "fix" it by swapping "1" with "2". Usually you get changes like /v1/weather does not exist anymore and now you got /v2/exact_weather and /v2/broad_weather. Both different to /v1/weather. exact_weather only accepts city names of cities with a population over 1 million, is now a paid service and returns weekly weather instead of daily. And /v2/broad_weather does not accept city names anymore but only coordinates, is still free but locks you out after 10k monthly requests and returns daily weather but without rainfall info.

So a "in between API" won't save you from dabbling with the change from v1 to v2.

And on top of that, now you have two APIs that will change from time to time. The weather API and the Merge/Nango API.
The Steam Controller was killed off, and IIRC there was a patent infringement issue with the paddles on the back. I'd love to see a redesigned Steam Controller based on the Deck's controls. I play my Deck almost exclusively docked, but your average controller packs less functionality than the Deck's built-in controls, so it would be neat to not have to compromise.
Yeah, I always feel like I’m being gaslit by the options. They are always missing an option for what I actually think: “Every moment I think about onedrive is a moment I could have spent with my children. A moment I will never get back. I may never admit it in polite company, but I quietly anticipate a day when you and your software are exorcised from this earth. Indeed, the only emotion I associate with your product is a quiet rage that never quite goes away.”

Mailchimp is probably the only company that does a good job of this in their unsubscribe page. “You are unsubscribed. If you want, tell us why you unsubscribed. 1. Was the mailing list spam? 2. I don’t recall ever signing up to this …”. (At least I think it’s mailchimp.)
The general public is being mislead on LLMs/AI and it's dangerous. These are indeterminate systems. We CAN NOT know what they are going to output.

A product like this makes it very difficult to verify what it is telling you.

As others have pointed out, their own product launch video has several inaccuracies in it.
Just like websites that run crypto miners in the background. Don't need that to deliver the service.
I don't want to make it out like I'm a huge fan of the site or something. I originally followed it on google reader back in the day, and skipped most of the articles without reading even then. But they've also always had at least some truly excellent writers doing good work there.
How did you manage to do this? This is a goal of mine. I’m curious how the pay and stress compares to faang, and what your niche is.
It looks like that figure doesn't include ambulance charges, which is the example I had in mind when I wrote that sentence. It also doesn't include decisions made during non-emergency surgery, which still might be necessary to stay alive even though you aren't in the emergency department. It of course doesn't include medication and followup care resulting from whatever unconscious decisions were made.

Regardless, I don't believe determining an exact percentage is relevant to this discussion. I'm not an economist, but every definition of "market" I can find says something like "a system where two parties can engage in a transaction". If there's a significant chance that one of the parties is unconscious and/or about to die, they are not engaging in a transaction any more than a mugging victim is. 5% is the chance of rolling a 1 on a d20, that is certainly significant.

United healthcare in 2022 had $324 billion revenue (up from $75 billion in 2007) and profits of $20 billion (both up >15% year on year). There is absolutely no risk that they become insolvent.

Not debating the legality (it surely isn't), but I suspect in some cases a speeding ticket may end up costing less (even including the increased insurance premiums) than the ambulance fees.
Not necessarily. We won't really know exactly what these systems will need to look like until the NHTSA releases their standard, but its possible that the standard will be satisfy-able while piggybacking off of already very common (and soon to be mandated) ADAS functionality like lane monitoring and automated emergency braking.

IF the standard goes that direction then automakers would probably need a little more compute but that's about it. If it mandates eye-tracking, breath or touch analysis, or anything like that then that will be a totally different can of worms.
While I won't argue loot boxes, and I dont know enough about mod/skin communities...

The 30% developer fee makes a lot more sense if you consider that steam is much more than a game store. They host forums, guides, achievements, cloud saves, multiple versions of the game at once with beta channel access, screenshots, remote play, extras like Proton support, a friends list that will show you when other people are playing a game (advertising). And the store page has all sorts of stuff like ratings, reviews... a shopping cart and ability to purchase more than 1 game at a time (didn't know that was a feature, but apparently it is). And top of all that, it's just frankly where PC gamers are, so theres a ton of built in marketing.

Not every game benefits from all these things. But it's hardly just a storefront. I would question Gamestop taking a 30% cut. I would question if EGS wanted the same 30% cut as valve gets. Gamers prefer Steam over EGS, and the reason they prefer it isn't just because "it's a nicer store front." It's a whole platform thing.
It works pretty well for me on my latest Debian 12 / KDE build. I record loom videos. I screenshare via Slack huddle as well as Google Meet. I use modern apps like vscode, sublime text, spotify, 1password, etc. I'm even connected to an Apple 5K studio display. Everything works except the ability to control my monitor brightness, which is working its way thru the kernel right now.

That seems a bit hyperbolic. Wayland certainly breaks too much of my stuff to be suitable for use, but there are many others who use it successfully.

I think it depends on what you're doing with your machines.

It was like a somewhat more positive counterpart to 4chan, it was full of madness, toxicity and vice, and also a space for creativity like few others.

It was also one of the walled gardens, even if it always felt more open than the rest, but the web continues to weaken as content creation and delivery continues to be consolidated in the exploitative platforms of Meta, TikTok, and now to a smaller degree, X, with their recommendation algorithms fine tuned to make you an addict to parasocial relationships and negative emotions.
I used to work at a company whose recent TOS changes infuriated their own comunity, and while I was there we received lots of insults thru the crash reporter. I'm sure the people who devise those polls and feedback don't care at all, and these are there just for statistics, in the best case a sort of passive alarm that there is a fire somewhere. What they care about is that feature will be noticed internally and that they get pulled up in the company hierarchy.
Meta also has exceptional offices.

If the feds said you had to insult someone every time you bought printer ink, and then lots of people started getting insulted, I would lean towards blaming the feds for that outcome rather than blaming the people who buy printer ink.

Of course, it could separately be the case that people buy too much printer ink, and that we have good reasons for asking them to buy less. In which case our feelings about these new insults might be complicated. But if the goal of a regulation is "do less X", and the chosen mechanism is "you must insult other people when you do X", I'd call that questionable policy design.

Coming back from the metaphor, it seems more accurate to say that this regulatory situation with contractors wasn't explicitly designed at all, but rather "emerged" out of previous policies and court decisions. So maybe asking whether it was designed well or poorly is beside the point.

On the other hand, he's also strongly associated now with bad decisions like the Touch Bar and butterfly keys.
Powerful fast-moving machines will, if you are not careful, one day humble you or worse. I posted on the other thread about my experience with a CNC mill accident many years ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38210671

At a much lower power level, I had a couple harrowing experiences with powerful industrial grade table saws (4 to 5 HP spindle). In one case it grabbed this piece of plastic being cut and launched it 25 feet at such speed that it penetrated the door of a refrigerator that just happened to be in its path.

You can never take powerful equipment for granted. And, if it is computer controlled, well, make sure you can see the power cord being disconnected before you even think about getting anywhere close to parts that can hurt you.

One of the things I taught my kids when doing projects with power tools at home is to unplug the cord after you are done cutting/drilling/whatever and place the power plug right on the machine where you can see it. With time you get used to not approaching the machine unless you know where that plug is...in the wall or on the machine.

Ideally, yes.
People in first world countries are not magically less fertile than those elsewhere, but the conditions for raising children certainly are. Politicians would do well to examine what the major blockers from people having more kids are and work to alleviate them for the good of their own country.
It's systemd all over again. Scream and holler about how terrible it is, yet nobody provides anything better.

Either the things continue to rot and get worse over time, or we get something modern like Wayland and deal with integration issues.

Fast forward a few years, and the noise will mostly be gone, just like with systemd.

It turns out... most people just don't like change.
It’s possible, but as noted in my other comment, the Quest version is notoriously unfriendly to modding and can chug with more complex custom maps due to weak hardware, which is problematic because I play modded/custom exclusively.
Worked for me. Maybe someone filled a ticket to make it happen, I sure didn't have to do anything.
The important context for this story is mentioned in the last couple if paragraphs: there is a large buildup of magma underground very near the Blue Lagoon.

Not mentioned is that the water in the Blue Lagoon is waste from a large geothermal plant that provides power and municipal heating to every home in the peninsula, so the residents of Grindavík have more to worry about than being directly threatened by erupting lava.
Not a philosopher myself but this essay accurately captured my feelings regarding the state of philosophy indeed. It's hard for an amateur to find actual contemporary philosophy work that is not either some cryptic reexamination of classical work or gimmicky self-help books from trending gurus.

Also that quote hit the spot, at personal level:

"As MacMullan writes in ‘Jon Stewart and the New Public Intellectual’ (2007):

It’s much easier and more comfortable to speak to someone who shares your assumptions and uses your terms than someone who might challenge your assumptions in unexpected ways or ask you to explain what you mean."

Thank you to the author for this pleaser read!
Yeah, and this list looks very out of date too. The push to wayland was really hard, but a lot of issues have been fixed. I don't doubt that it is already better than x.org in most common cases.
It happens to be a lot easier to reverse-engineer a program where the sections are not combined, and you can predict that strings will reliably be in the .rdata section. While it does save a few KB, it just makes things so much nicer for the next people who need to patch features into the binary manually.
You’re really showing it to the man! Way to go!
Late to reply, but I sure hope so, and appreciate your open optimism on the subject.
95% of the curse words and middle fingers I deploy in my daily life are now towards similar practices.

There's a weird cult-like attitude around 40fps that I've noticed. Personally I run everything at the normal 60hz and almost everything I play runs fine, even at the higher resolution (1920x1200) of my external monitor. Counter-Strike 2 runs horribly and Baldur's Gate 3 was sub-60, but mostly I don't play anything that demanding (mostly indie, lots of 2D). It might matter more if you play all the new AAA titles that come out.
Which type?
DOA.

- too stealable, by people who will not care that a subscription is needed.

- the act of theft will happen violently and close up, not fun.

- it's an easy smallish act of violence, which means the on-ramp to violence is also easy. Not something most people want to invite into their lives.

- "they" (the Committee) will say phones can also be grabbed. But the equation here is different. With a phone there's no hand on your chest, no tearing of clothing, and for a phone thieves know you will try harder to get it back. With this, after the violent taking, the shock value and the relative disposability of the device will stop most from chasing the thief. This will be known subconsciously if not outright, so the "phones are also easy to grab" comparison does not apply.

- the features are already provided by something most everyone has, a smartphone.

- the level of obnoxiousness of the status signaling is off the charts.

- association with AI is not a positive for many people and is stigmatizing (whether the stigma is correct or not).

- built in camera and recording functionality or even the perceived possibility of recording is also stigmatizing and highly antisocial.

- all the voice UX inhibition concerns others have been mentioning.

- [edit, how did I leave this out, but it's just too obvious]: subscription. We. Don't. Want. More. Subscriptions.

On the positive side, the size is nice, it looks good, and reading stuff off your hand is a cool idea, although it will look pretty goofy. But no.
Which creates an incentive, if you see a shiny bit of sidewalk that might be ice, to step on it rather than stepping around it.

It's perverse and bizarre. If you avoid harm, you deprive yourself of the tools that you might've used to save others from the same harm.
The Thumb encoding for ARM also has some very clever encodings for inline constants:

https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0308/d/Thumb-Inst...

Specifically, it can encode any 8-bit value rotated by any number of bits, as well as any value of the form 0x00XY00XY, 0xXY00XY00, or 0xXYXYXYXY. Combined with the use of inverted instructions (e.g. MVN instead of MOV, SUB instead of AND, BIC instead of AND, etc), this covers a surprising number of the 32-bit constants which are likely to appear in a program.
If you don’t give users the option to select the very embarrassing thing you know they actually are angry about (but don’t want to fix), then that thing clearly doesn’t actually exist!

I think it may seem like Torx has more sizes than say Phillips or flat-headed screws due to the fact that with those you can generally get away with a screw driver that is "close enough" in size, whereas with Torx you really need the exact size the screw is using.

Other than for gaming, which isn't worth it to do on a laptop anyway, I have seen no reason for this. Most discrete GPUs do a better job with drawing UI elements than a GPU anyway.

I see. Given the benefit and the potential for delays/problems, I definitely would go with an experienced TN attorney, not only will he or she see options where your girlfriend or a prospective employer might not, but he or she also will ensure it's done right. Also, TN visa applications tend be some of the least expensive U.S. work visas relatively speaking.

This is reductionist and silly. Some libertarians, including Theil, are vocal in their distaste for democracy. Most of them look at it as having devolved into a patronage scam (in which ruling majorities are bought with redistributed dollars) that empowers cynical elites to grow the coercive power state to the detriment of the rights of the people. At first blush, opposing democracy is incompatible with the broader libertarian position, which calls for aggressively maximizing human liberty. So what's the deal? Well, Libertarians propose the near-total elimination of the coercive power of the state as a precondition to getting rid of democracy. By the time the voting stops, the state would be incapable of meaningful coercion, let alone anything remotely akin to fascism.
I bet that "bias" on the medicare question came from the previous responses.

Every time you hit the submit button to an LLM, its like it wakes up from cryosleep with no conscious memory but an unconscious understanding of stuff, then its immediately handed a script... and the whole script is the conversation. That is its entire conscious memory.

That previous conversation gives it its personality, and I suspect it would answer the medicare question differently with a blank slate.
It allows them to create a profile of the users. Same reason android no longer has an api to detect which apps are installed along side yours.
> Loot boxes in CS and TF2

It's apples and oranges.

It's worth pointing out that this is for cosmetics. The largescale lootbox outcries have been exclusively about gameplay advantages. Games that only provide cosmetics are usually praised for being fair. For example, Overwatch also has lootboxes - but for cosmetics only - and nobody gives a damn.

And then there's cards, which you earn for free, and can sell for a wallet balance in order to buy games.

I don't believe this is their goal, even though they certainly aren't doing enough to prevent it.
Sadly, they're generally in favor of nanny state approaches, where government is given control over every possible aspect of people's lives where someone or something can theoretically do something bad. Sometimes it's sensible, but sometimes it's very questionable.

What truly sucks is that there is no third option.
Humane officially unveils the AI Pin device that aspires to replace smartphone
After a years-long wait, we finally have all of the details about what Humane has been up to. In a short ten-minute video, the company has officially unveiled the Humane Ai Pin, an AI-powered device that looks to utilize AI, a camera, a speaker, and lasers to pull people’s eyes away from their smartphone and focus instead on the world around them.

There are mild externalities assumed and feared about offshore wind, despite it being pretty good in a multitude of ways. States are playing a dumb game, because we would be better off if there was lots of offshore wind, but each state individually is better off having offshore wind SOMEWHERE ELSE.

For example, here in maine, our premier engineering school has spent two decades now being a premier wind energy investment and research institution, and we have minted hundreds and hundreds of trained people into the field, yet our Democrat governor still decided to sign a bill that bans offshore wind, something that Orono has explicitly invested into for years.

Our state desperately needs new generation to bring power costs down, but there's no real incentive for anyone to do so (why build new supply to bring down your own revenue?) and apparently the state government has zero interest to help itself there.
Isn't this just the Halting problem? No software has the property of being "determinate".
This isn't true at all, Blaze was a huge success, scrolling through Tumblr you see people with silly numbers of checks, lots of people pay to remove ads, it's just that that the successes aren't massively revenue generating in the way that ads are.

Trying to monetize user generated content is hard because both the users and creators believe that it's their content (which it is that's how community works) and so locking it away and taking a non-trivial cut is going to be met with insane vitriol and there's not much value to add over the base experience. Tumblr's patron thing you should of think like Hashicorp re-licensing Terraform.

And worse is that sometimes creating true value-adds naturally perverts incentives. Like for example a true value-add would be "bubble-as-a-service" because Tumblr has some really nasty subcultures which is why posters don't like when posts "break containment." It would be the easiest money ever to just pay and get a huge blocklist without having to go through the effort of making one yourself but then you kinda need those nasty communities to justify the value.
It's not the same.

The Microsoft problem was *independent* contractors. I.E. treating people as self-employed.
