I think the product is a failure, but the website is gorgeous.
>It would be nice to know what points of friction exist.

Is this a serious question? You can't buy food at the grocery store with crypto. Employees likely don't even know how to accept a salary in crypto. Your landlord doesn't accept rent payments in crypto. Your bank and auto lender don't take mortgage/car payments in crypto. Your utility providers don't accept crypto. BTC block time is too slow for literally any point of sale transaction.

Is that enough friction for you?
C23 has _BitInt(N) that works exactly like I think you'd want it to work.
Perhaps that's a good example of electronics for electronics' sake. If the fashion takes off then I wonder how long it'll be before practical jokers try to hack them.

Of course, I can't deny such a device has practical value, I recall years ago about being somewhat mortified after having been at work for some hours and realizing my zip was down. In the meantime I'd walked from home onto a busy train and then walked some more to my office. Did I do it up at home, or when did it come down? There is no answer.

Then there's the problem of zipper creep, one recalls doing it up but the latch that locks into the teeth doesn't quite catch. This leads to continually-checking anxiety until one ditches the pants.

Zippers and I have a fraught relationship which I've mentioned in HN before, here I'm not only taking in connection with pants but generally. They break or slide undone unexpectedly, the teeth pull out, they inexplicably jam and cloth jams in the teeth not to mention the occasional harm they cause to one's person. Buttons may be less convenient but if one comes undone at least the rest don't do so in sympathy.
I have played over 4000 hours of Team Fortress 2, and I can say with complete certainty that you have no idea what you are talking about.
In the USA, Coed is a vintage slang for young ladies in a college (nearly always used in a “sexy” context in the modern day) and cherry is slang for virginity.
It is financially unfeasible for most middle class households to pass down their homes to their children due to the estate tax kicking on assets over 100,000 eur.

Inheritance tax for children caps at 20%. That's hardly "unfeasible".

Social mobility is significantly constrained

Social mobility is worse in the US that in the EU, e.g. see https://www.strategie.gouv.fr/english-articles/social-mobili...
That's wonderful. Do you happen to remember the true version of the science fair story?
Is it legal for US companies to layoff a US citizen before a visa holder if they serve an equivalent function and have equivalent qualifications?
No man, neither of those points are even remotely true.
I don't entirely blame the bank for being concerned about CSAM.
It’s 128k tokens of input and 4096 tokens of output (gpt-4-turbo), though in chatgpt it’ll be different because it uses progressive summarization for long conversations. ChatGPT now uses gpt-4-turbo.
Unified API is a holly grail but as many said quite difficult to abstract every use case in a scalable way that won't break. At CloudQuery (https://github.com/cloudquery/cloudquery) we focus solely on the ELT use-case(Founder/Maintainer here).
I hate talking to them at home either. The only time I use them is when cooking with my hands wet or dirty. And it’s still bad, even when it works.

The biggest grudge I have against 'stroke' is that it's such an amorphous diagnosis. A heart attack, a similarly ischemic (or hemorhagic) event, often produces, say, one of a couple dozen lasting distinct symptoms. Some can be extremely severe and disabling, but it's still a narrow enough concept that people know how serious it usually is. Conversely, strokes present in literally thousands of ways, from mild eye twitches to complete paralysis. My stroke's effects will last for decades, and many aspects will never be 'fixed', but some of the immediate effects have waned significantly due to quick medical intervention.

I wish Woz the very very best and that his stroke doesn't produce too many lingering disabilities. Taking time for yourself in the aftermath is crucial. Sending thoughts to him, in spirit, from a fellow survivor.
“Coed” has multiple meanings but has a widely accepted porn definition: female college student

“Cherry” is a fruit but also has multiple widely accepted porn definitions centred around virginity

The venn diagram of where they overlap makes it obvious they are in the adult industry.

Valuing “good” art is a moral stance. It’s a judgment of what human behavior is good or bad.
At 20 hours? I used to do that regularly. Wake up at 6 am, work, party til 2 am on a Friday. I've never heard of anyone hallucinating in that short of a time. That only happens when you're up for like 3 days straight.
"Something must be done, and this is something". I don't really see the evidence that the 'odd' startups are more likely to succeed, and even if that is the true it doesn't obviously lend itself to the strategy of 'do something odd intentionally to increase your chances of success'
Afaicr, 3x was pretty standard in consultant salary vs billable rate.

The idea is that covers 70-80% utilization, unprofitable engagements, HR, benefits, etc. Plus profit to the company.

I did type the same. So I did not really type what was in my head (my "inner voice" read "is").

Libraries typically keep archives of newspapers accessible for free. I imagine the long record of obituaries in this archive would be invaluable for certain types of research.
I worked at ASML San Diego for about a year as a bottom-rank software engineer (contractor) for 7nm. The scale and complexity of the thing was mind blowing. I worked on the seed laser team, alongside the team that did the molten-tin gun. I think that domain is a rare case where the users (people like you) have a higher knowledge burden than the manufacturer. I can't imagine what actually goes on (in Taiwan and elsewhere) to actually use the machines and sign off the wafers as good-to-go.
This looks like a technology that will sell the 2nd or 3rd time it gets revived. Its an Apple Newton, and we all want an iPhone.
Yeah, if the system I'm using has excessive latency (more of a 90s problem than today) precision means even when I do mistype, I'm "feeling" it and backspacing, not seeing them (since they haven't echoed yet.)

It's definitely about getting to the point where you're not thinking about typing, you're thinking about words/sentences/lines of code (or higher.)

I particularly noticed this when going from perl to python - in perl you were typing fewer characters, in python you could use more mainline english typing and not care that you were using more keystrokes...
> but you have to respect the machine that this is a part of.

I don't respect the machine. I think it reduces innovation across our industry.

The story of google acquisitions so often go this way. They start with a lot of promises - "Your product dreams will be so much bigger at Google! All the resources you need! We believe in you!". When they start at google, everyone eventually realises they need to rebuild their entire product on top of google's infrastructure, "the google way". Inevitably, the remade google version of the product doesn't have "google scale" numbers of users. Or its crushed by some other team within google. Or they're shoved within a product group who see the newcomers as an irrelevant distraction at best, or a threat to their own product at worst. The good people from the acquired team move on within google and the acquired product dies. It happens so often its become a meme.

There have been some notable exceptions: Youtube. Android. Docs (Writely). In each of these cases, google didn't have a similar product at the time of the acquisition and the acquired product team was largely left alone afterwards. As I understand it, Youtube and Android are (still?) kept at arms length in some ways from the rest of the company.

This is a machine of destruction. It destroys innovative ideas and innovative products. I get that they can't all be winners. But google's success rate amongst acquisitions surviving - let alone thriving - is ridiculously low. And I don't think the teams & products that survive do so because of the strength of their work. I think they survive because of luck and politics.

Other companies do this so much better. Instagram, WhatsApp and Oculus are very strong products and brands years after being acquired by Facebook. Adobe seems to be taking good care of Figma. And so on.

Sometimes I wonder what would happen if google went bankrupt, and all the smart engineers within their walls were suddenly forced onto the street, where they need to make interesting products people actually care about to justify their salaries. I bet there's all sorts of great product ideas that googlers dream of building - but never will, because of how cushy and comfortable it is there. Google does some great stuff. But I think their employees are capable of so much more.
Nuclear is by far the safest form of energy and is developed safely in many countries without the strict overregulation that the US has.

Pointing to extreme events with outdated designs has nothing to do with this.
Staring at the road, especially at night, for that long doesn't help. I drove 16ish hours from Denver to Fargo with minimal breaks recently. Got to Jamestown, ND (not far from Fargo) and had to pull over because it was starting to get weird.
Not only that, but I couldn't even find that info either in the article or the order page it linked to. I agree completely that 1080p is just not good even for a laptop-size screen anymore.
I'm guessing the models are extra conservative and there's going to be some oopsies in how it plays out. I'm not a climate scientist but it's already clear that things are happening faster than earlier predictions.

What's doubly distressing is that it's been so highly politicized. I'm not $ure why that i$...
I prefer doing some quick sanity checks and then printing an error message like "User error: Your computer is weird. Buy a normal computer." if they fail. The convenience of being able to use memory-mapped files directly without any endianness / alignment bureaucracy is more important to me than supporting some hypothetical hardware I don't have access to.

Low-level code like that rarely lives beyond 5-10 years anyway. Even if some weird future hardware starts getting popular, the code will most likely be rewritten at least once before that hardware actually matters.
Wow, this is pretty cool, thanks for sharing! Impressed by how useful this is.

One note, I used the `:anki:` command and while I got a valid fill-in-the-blank Cloze deletion, the DALL-E command didn't seem to do anything. I think the Anki cards could really be improved if they included the great feedback that the tutor gives you on conversations.
I should have been clearer, it's between two apps that we host internally - applications on our own intranet cannot talk to each other. If you want to get any data out of either of these apps to the world, you need to do a manual export and email/usb which would obviously flag

Heh, have you ever had someone ask you what keybinding did something, and you had to actually move your hand to recall it? (That may be more specifically a skilled-at-emacs thing, then entirely generic typing...)
All of the planets are something like 20 km diameter IIRC, so [1] is very much a thing. They're annoyingly big to walk around, but tiny compared to earth's moon.

I don't have a source handy, but believe that MS is hypothesized to be caused by the immune system attacking the myelin sheathing (autoimmune disease), so it is quite a different process.
You would still need to declare your crypto earnings on your tax return, and convert some of them into your local fiat currency to pay taxes.
Ahh, I think your example would have communicated the benefit of what you were sharing more clearly with longer variable names. For single word variables, though, it feels needlessly verbose.

To answer your earlier question about object definitions, in cases where the objects are small, I do think more concise (single line) notation can be more readable. An example, though not a great one because it's data more than it's code:

items: [
{ type: "a", quantity: "12", price: 123.45 },
{ type: "b", quantity: "7", price: 456.78 },
{ type: "c", quantity: "3", price: 9.00 },
]

If the number of properties exceeds say 3, or the names of them are complex, I would lean toward the longer form.
It’s concerning because the (increasingly monopolistic) banks and the credit card companies are simultaneously a type of private tax on all purchases and the judges/juries of public morality.

This is one in a long string of cases where people cannot operate fully legal business because of the policies of the financial institutions.

It’s running Windows, and if you put it in dev mode, which is not much harder than putting a laptop off S mode, you can install anything. It works with a mouse and keyboard. Pretty close to a PC.
My shallow understanding is that myelin improves neurons' connectivity, so the decrease of it would imply degrading performance in neural activities?

Also, the myelination process happens when you learn new things, so it might be interesting to analyze how the recovery period might be exploited to facilitate learning.

Would love to hear brain scientists thoughts.
Promising project for my needs. Thank you
Not at all. I did not add "all".
Platforms are not getting ahead of deepfakes enough
Maybe I am just "on the cool-aide" or something, but I want to believe this is actually a communication issue.

Firstly, I have to assume that people at these senior levels operate in the best interests of the company (at least most of the time). So, feel free to tell me this is my problem :)

With that assumption called out, their action (at least statistically) is expected to have a better outcome for the company. This applies to all decision - Return to office, technology selection, etc.

So, why is this communication - well because the approach for senior leadership is typically still - "Trust us" - rather than "Here is our logic, and know there are other perspectives, but this is what we are doing and to what end". That communication can increase trust in leadership, and even build confidence when done well.

Of course, if/where my assumption is wrong, the author could we right.

As a side note - I have NOT worked for a companies with competent technical competencies in senior leadership in well over 10 years. This typically (almost always) leads to mass blind adoption of the Microsoft stack. And I generally see that pattern and will use it to help select where I go work next.

You’re thinking of the Canadian eye doctors association, the CIEh.
Yes, and I'm excited about that! Though I do wish the syntax sucked less. Also would be interesting to see it be the primary integer type of the language.

I'm also interested in a more advanced version for setting arbitrary bounds. E.g. an integer that goes from 1-10. Adding two of those would be an integer from 2-20. The goal being that the compiler could help enforce that you don't pass a value that is OOB. Might make more sense for that to be a library. Perhaps some C++ template magic. But I digress
Also betting that municipalities can't/won't just pull an eminent domain to regain access to the water.

Honestly it sounds like a conspiracy theory to me. I'm sure companies are buying rights to water, but I suspect it's for straightforward near term interests, like, say, Poland Spring's owners buying water rights so they can sell bottles of water - not because they think they will be our overlords in 20 years or whatever.
Again I have to roll out the "what topics are you being denied discussion of" question. That usually clears up quite a bit.

Slowly increase gas taxes and let the problem work itself out (assuming you’re still providing EV subsidies so as to not marginalize the poor). Only need to do it until the petroleum supply chain reaches a flow rate where it is no longer economically viable in a geography.

There are platforms with 16-bit int and a larger than 16-bit address bus, such as AVR and Amiga.

I've written software for extremely resource-constrained microcontrollers (7KB flash, 256 bytes of RAM) in "normal C" with many functions, code organized in multiple files, etc. In one case it was to replace firmware written by someone with your mindset, and the resulting code was smaller while having more features.
Driving requires constant mental engagement. I find driving for 8 hours to be more tiring than a day of work.
Society is better for seeing the pharmaceutical market regulations it desires carried out. Yes, that does mean individuals who cannot access/afford drugs will be worse off, but thems the breaks of living in a society. Society can never cater to everyone. Someone will always be harmed by society.

After all, society can repeal the regulation if it wanted to – it created the regulations! But clearly it doesn't want to, because society recognizes it as a benefit and is willing to pay, perhaps as much as 10x more according to previous comments, to see that value delivered. That may not suit your or my fancy, but, again, society cannot cater to everyone.

Naturally, even society itself is both beneficial and detrimental, just like everything else. Tradeoffs, as always.
If the overall carbon footprint is less, then I guess its worth it?

I would imagine that they have plans to tether a few of these together, load up the cargo, and fly it around un-populated areas to build a distribution network. Perhaps tethering them can also mean overall stability and resistance to wind effects, something like an air train. Maybe, a small aircraft can lock-in to the first one and simply pull it along at higher speeds?

Assuming they can fly at about 50 MPH, can be automated and can fly day and night with minimal energy consumption, companies like Amazon and FedEx would be interested.

Not to mention tourism applications, surveying, etc.
States are indeed the highest authority over a great many matters within their territory. They share sovereignty with the federal government. That is a central feature of our system.

The US has a dual chartering system where banks can be chartered by a state regulator or the US comptroller of the currency. In either case they are subject to the same overlapping set of state and federal laws and mostly the same regulations, just applied by different regulators.

The bicycle infrastructure, at least in Cambridge, does seem to be very heavily used even if it does make for some pretty crazy intersections between pedestrians, bikes/e-scooters, and cars--especially when it's getting dark in the evenings like now. I drove in last night for an event--really no alternative from well outside the city--and it's a pretty wild mix of transportation modes.

Republicans were a couple decades too late when they said single payer or Obamacare would bring death panels. We already have death panels wifh medicare, medicaid, and workplace insurance.

It'd just be changed to a federal-government sanctioned death panel system. Probably with an expected goal of deaths, and if the target isn't being met, methods to be encouraged to bring it about...

Sure for knowledge sharing about tribal knowledge or undocumented plans I see the value of having a person reviewing, but a lot of other stuff that comes up in pair programming can probably also be managed by AI like what are best practices, a bug you might have missed, evaluating alternative solutions, etc.

People are incredibly varied on code reviews too, I can see where some standardization on what should be blocking and what is best left as a suggestion could accelerate things in some cases and prevent issues in other cases.

My comment was explained by itself. This question was a non-sequitur.
What reason do we have to believe that the underlying technology will improve enough for the product to be actually usable? Many of this product's features require a degree of trust that clearly isn't merited at this stage. An assistant that tells me to go to an event at a place it's not happening is worse than useless.
