>>Or just push the button on your steering wheel and use voice control

It's literally the worst way to interact with anything. It's infuriating how bad it is, especially for someone whose first language isn't English. It understands maybe 20% of the commands I give it, and the delay between clicking the button, it doing the "bong" to indicate it's ready, then listening to my command, then it processing and finally giving me a response(usually "sorry I didn't understand that") is just horrendous.

Not to mention that it's still physically impossible to use voice controls to dial people with non-English names if you have your OS set to English - try saying "Dial Jan Szczepanek" and it will never recognize it, no matter how you pronounce it. If you have OS set to Polish it will work fine, but I cannot be expected to keep switching my OS language!

> Not to take away from your excellent work, but what the hell is the point of VoWifi ?

The point is that your phone should continue to work even if you are deep inside a building without coverage. Or that you should have connectivity if you for some other reason have good wifi coverage but bad cellular.

Now, the protocol choices I won't defend, it is layers upon layers of complexity that I don't know enough to understand what is motivated or what is bad.
Yes. we sometimes track such times using web archive, but it's not perfect and its easier to just use yes/no (See https://github.com/endoflife-date/endoflife.date/pull/4235 for eg).
> Imagine how PC gaming would look if tomorrow you woke up and Valve said, hey, our cut is 50% now.

I would expect a bunch of bright, freshly-laid-off engineers would get together and try to seriously compete either through a single platform offering, or a system of integrated services. I'd love to see Valve's platform advantages a little more democratized; but you can't deny the level of engineering that goes into their products. SteamVR, Steam Play, streaming, Steam Deck, Proton, it goes on and on.

> We should definitely blame Steam for this abusive tax on the game industry, even if many others have now copied it.

No more than we blame anyone else who followed suit, as a gain, Valve chose a number that was already massively standardized in many industries. If the 30% cut is too much, someone should seek to disrupt them at a 5-20% margin.

Google famously turn off a critical internal service for a minute our so, because they had promised 99.999% (or something like that) of uptime, but hadn't actually gone down in a few years.

In order to make sure that (internal) consumers of that service could handle the downtime, they introduced some artificially.
> It's not an impossible standard to attempt to minimize civilian casualties. It's a crime of war not to.

Completely agree.

> Israel is incautiously bombing all over Gaza including refugee camps. They are destroying housing and hospitals.

Disagree.

First, I'm not sure what you mean by "refugee camps" here (since in some situation all of Gaza is referred to as a "Refugee camp").

Second, they are definitely destorying housing, but that's because Hamas militans are hiding in that housing. What is the alternative?

Israel asked the people to evacuate and gave a a lot of time to evacuate those buildings, despite this allowing Hamas militants to evacuate as well, exactly to minimize casualties.

And Israel hasn't destroyed hospitals as far as I'm aware, despite many people thinking so.

> They have dropped more bombs in a few weeks than the US dropped in their first year war on Afghanistan.

This should by itself invalidate your statement that it's incautiously bombing. If the amount of bombing is so large, how are there so few civilian deaths compared to other conflicts?

> We can definitely call what Israel is doing "genocidal". And it does rise to the label of ethnic cleansing.

There is not intent to kill all the Palestinians. The reason we know there's no such intent is that if Israel truy were trying to do it, far far more civilians would've been killed. You can see that in every conflict in which a country really did go all-out and didn't care about deaths. (E.g. Syrian war, 600k dead, various actual genocides that have happened, etc.)

Ethnic cleansing - for sure the current population of North Gaza was asked to vacate to the South. You can call that temporary ethnic cleansing if you want, I don't think it fits. If in the long run Israel doesn't try to remove any Gazans, they all are able to go back to the North - then it wouldn't really be ethnic cleansing. (There is the issue of many of their homes having been demolished - which is a clearer case for ethnic cleansing - but I still think it falls under the umbrella of justified attacks, but I also think Israel should do something to help the people made homeless.)

> What Israel is doing is disproportionate and cruel.

It's fighting a war. All wars are cruel. Israel didn't want this war, Hamas did. And Israel doesn't really have an alternative.

I’m midway thru building a grocery store price comparison app that then ocr’s the receipts. I’m hoping to save money on groceries. I may extend it to include an inventory, recipes and meal planning to fully close the loop.
I always learned new languages & frameworks by solving a pretty simple but not too simple problem: a recipe manager with persistence and the ability to organize recipes in a calendar and generate a weekly shopping list, sorting the items by supermarket aisle and in the last release I even did a task manager integration to share it with my wife (I think it was with Todoist). I did it with C#, Python+GTK, PHP and Rails.

Now I'm using Paprika and the need is forever solved, but as an exercise in terms of managing general UI, database persistence and relationships, and calendar & dates is hard enough without being overwhelming.

Other people create binary file editors, this is my problem of choice ;)

And it gives you yet another device to charge, reduces your sound quality and introduces audio delay. None of which is a problem with wired headphones.

I'm feeling like a dinosaur pointing out that I still have headphones which just work and there is literally nothing wrong with them. I own two pairs of bluetooth headphones too, and they are great - but let's not kid ourselves, there are drawbacks to it too.

Nice! I'm also definitely on the side of preferring the lax life. I'm a foreigner living in DK and it was definitely one of the most unexpected aspects of life here. I had always had this strong impression it was much more organised and things work in a "perfect" way but that was simply not the case.
Germany is literally failing by its own hand. It killed its own industrial vocation and now it has to find alternatives. If that can be done it's still to be seen.
> I've avoided iTunes and its descendants due to all of the horror stories about destroyed music libraries and music "helpfully" replaced in error.

At least on Windows (where iTunes currently still survives in its original form) and with no Apple Music or iTunes Match or whatever subscription to muddle things up, and with the option to let it manage the folder structure of my music library turned off I can't complain about it, though. It does what it's supposed to do and doesn't cause any problems.

Although I mostly keep using it for historical reasons, because I used to have an iPod, and when that got replaced by an Android phone, at that time the best solution for syncing music to it was to keep using iTunes together with some third party app which was able to not just sync the music, but also play counts and ratings, too.
Fun story: A colleague had to fly to the USA for work, but when he arrived they noticed some mistake in the paperwork. They couldn't send him back because an Icelandic volcano had erupted, so they gave him orange overalls and chains and put him in jail for a while
I can assure you that Copenhagen Airport and Denmark in general is not laxed at all about travelling without a valid ticket.

Hoever getting a ticket that will get you into the departure area is fairly cheap - Ryanair will sell you something for less than 20 euros if you are not picky about the destination. The check that your ID matches your ticket is done at the gate not the security check.
> What it doesn't allow is for my code to be re-licensed to AGPLv3 nor can they grant themselves a license to do whatever they want (their CLA).

According to

https://softwarefreedom.org/resources/2007/gpl-non-gpl-colla...

it does both with minor caveats.

For the "relicensing" it will have to preserves license information, e.g.

> (C) new guy AGPL license text

> Also incorporates work with the following license

> (C) stgraber apache license text

In practice that is the same as being AGPL licensed because doing otherwise would violate new guy's license.

For the CLA nobody ever suggested they can do "whatever they want". What seems entirely possible however is for them to offer an entirely apache2 licensed version (the original version is apache2 and, only at their discretion, so are all future changes) as well as an AGPL licensed version.

Currently none, but that's mostly because we've worked hard to keep it that way. I publish finance updates on a GitHub Discussion (https://github.com/endoflife-date/endoflife.date/discussions...). We used to pay $9/mo for Netlify Analytics but didn't find it helpful.

We're looking to join OpenEoX.org to standardize EoL information publication, but that requires a lot more funds (https://github.com/endoflife-date/endoflife.date/discussions...).

We also have a pretty long roadmap (https://github.com/endoflife-date/endoflife.date/issues/2108) that focuses on integrating better with the sbom ecosystem (We want to make an API that does SBOM->EOL alerts for eg). Such projects require a lot of development effort, and we'd like to be able to sponsor it on our own (via grants/donations).

You can use Steamboat Willy if your legal budget is larger than Disney's
Epic is absolutely not competing with Steam in any meaningful way for me as a consumer until they compete on several more fronts, or at least integrate with services that allow them to do so.

If Steam was just a store frontend, I wouldn't use it. I just established their competitive offering above.

In fact, EGS's primary way of competing, exclusives, leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It's anti-consumer, and a poor substitute for engineering a competitive feature offering.

I actively avoid their store for this reason, and have passed up on their exclusives in the past, despite being interested in the IP.
> It is just a true fact of the world that if Israel were to let down its guard even a little, many Israelis would be killed. We saw the proof of that on October 7th.

October 7th happened under the current approach, to assume it would be at least as bad under a 'guard let down' scenario begs the question. There are two competing factors here - hatred and control. The current regime maintains a fairly high level of control, but doing so engenders more hatred. If anything, I think high control-high hatred may be an attractor in policy space, but probably not a long term good one.
I have run an LLM at home, up to 70B models. While I agree with some of what you said, I don't really know how it prevents LLMs from being useful.

Yes, LLMs currently don't learn. This is also true for humans who cannot form new memories. A human who cannot learn anything new besides the contents of their short-term memory is at a huge disadvantage, but (hopefully) no less capable if given access to a scratchpad and more thinking time to compensate.

As for the part that they are deterministic lacking noise... Why would you not provide it with noise? Generating randomness is something that modern machines are quite good at, so there isn't much of a reason not to inject it at inference time.
But that's a completely different situation! Palestinian were never citizens of Israel. For the first twenty years of Israel's existence, they were refugees militarily controlled by other countries. So they are foreigners.

You might think the founding of Israel was itself an injustice, that there was ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, etc. Those are valid views (and I think they do have some merit, though less than most people think).

But you can't say that there is no difference between Palestinians that stayed during the founding of Israel and were granted citizenship, and between the Palestinians who fled to neighboring countries that proceeded to attack Israel hoping to get all the land, and then lost the war and the land.
> Szilard and his team refined the prototype in their workshop at Germany’s General Electric Corporation in Berlin

Better known as Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft (AEG - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AEG). Some names are better left untranslated. That's the same as writing "Allgemeine Motoren" instead of General Motors in a German article - nobody would know what you're talking about...
Setting aside a HN spike, $100 a year should be fine for hosting. Or use someone else’s hosting platform like GitHub, cloudflare etc for the cost of a domain name.
It depends on what you are comparing. It's all about opportunity costs.

A service with some short and pre-announced downtimes is better than one that fails randomly every once in a while. It's also better than one that runs extremely old versions of their software, with old bugs and vulnerabilities.

You are right that when you 'sell' the downtime to customers you have to tell them what they are getting in return.
It's possible to get into the UK without a (UK) passport check if you go via Ireland. They treat the Dublin ferries and planes like domestic flights, they still check the passport at boarding and one presumes with it being computerised they still know you've entered the country (unless of course someone does what this guy just did).

There were signs up in Manchester that if you didn't have a UK / Irish passport (we travel on AU passport) that you're supposed to approach someone, but no-one guarding the exit. Ha ha honour system.

Doubly so if you drive across the border from Republic of Ireland to Northern Ireland, since they're legally not allowed to based on the Good Friday agreement.

In some ways this is less what we want because as tourists that spend a bunch of time in the UK I actually want someone to tell me I'm complying with the law.

At what % discount point on a purchase would you suffer through that experience instead of paying the premium app store price?

I am not buying a 60k EUR worth new car to fiddle with adapters. It is almost 2024, wireless carplay is a figured out thing since years. If they cannot solve it, they will not get my money, it is as simple as that. If anything, customers should punish manufacturers more for such bullsh*t, not less. Because current behavior let them believe they can get away with anything, thus this thread.
So it's a pre-processor? Any reason they don't call it that?
I wonder how hard it is to shoulder surf the automated passport checks for exiting the Schengen area. At right time or if it is very busy it might be possible to slip by...

Still this would indicate that boarding and initial security check failed to verify boarding pass. Then again security check might just glance it.
Google promotes the in-app purchase model they profit from and takes a cut from every microtransaction made on all Android apps in the Play Store.
> Steam is an absolutely crushing monopoly

Origin, U-Play, EA Play, etc. Blizzard titles are not on Steam. Microsoft Game Pass, and before that Games for Windows Live. Some physical releases require Steam, many do not. GOG. Edit: itch.io. So it's easily disproven. The other option sucking (e.g. not allowing reviews) does not a monopoly make.
Yeah, I assume it's similar how ARM errata are often worked around - set some bit in an undocumented MSR to disable some microarchitectural optimization.

That's why you announce your planned downtime long in advance, and put plenty of notice where customers can see it, even if they ignore emails etc.
> So to summarize, customers are dumb & recommendation algorithms are hard.

Or to not throw away all the points I argued for: There were a lot of good reasons for moving away from the five star systems, and the main motivation was providing a better less confusing UX

> I loved Netflix stuff when they started out, banger after banger was delivered. Something changed.

The main thing that changed was that media companies woke up to streaming and stopped giving away the rights to properties that many people enjoy (mainly nostalgia shows + blockbusters) for cheap. That forced Netflix much more into media production of their own, which has it's up- and downsides, and gave Netflix the same warts that media companies always had (e.g. having to make hard decisions around canceling shows). It's a very clear case of a first-mover losing its advantage over time.
Steam is good. But they have some sketchy policies. Eg epic requires games offered on multiple storefronts to have cross play compatibility

Valve is certainly better than others, but they do prevent publishers from selling their game for less outside of Steam (if they sell that game on Steam), and I think that is anti-consumer.
That is because you are both foreigners and the marriage doesn't give you any rights in Denmark. If you were a Dane marrying a non-EU foreigner it would be a completely different story.
Yes, it is more serious, and a proper introduction to HTMX. But as I said, they co-opt terms that have nothing to do with HTMX like hypermedia.

Just because you use get/post and return HTML does not make you hypermedia, or "extend HTML with hypermedia" whatever that means.
Well I certainly agree about most of that.
I'm not sure if that's a good idea. Maintaining long-term-support, especially for open-source projects with volunteers is a unacknowledged (and often unpaid) work.

It might make sense for certain categories (Mobiles, tablets) but it is so hard to get good data for those.
Can you see the need for it when the high level language is overly verbose or requires boilerplate? Or simply very limited in terms of generics etc? Or maybe you're mixing languages and you want to generate interfaces between them.

We use something like this (our own version, not in Python) for the above cases. We generate VHDL and C. It's incredibly powerful.
This seems similar to how Eloquent (Laravel's ORM) will, by default, make separate IN queries when you ask for a collection plus its relationships (instead of using a JOIN).

I have thought about how you might return normalised data to your front-end and, with support from a front-end library, rebuild the object relationships so you can access them naturally.

I looked into JSON:API and indeed there is a Laravel library for working with JSON:API https://github.com/laravel-json-api/laravel.

One place I got stuck with JSON:API is that support for updating a row and its relationships in a single API request seems to have been kicked around for a while and is unresolved:
https://github.com/json-api/json-api/issues/795

There is an atomic operations extension:

But is currently unsupported by laravel-json-api:

But flying from say the UK to Denmark would require him to have a passport and a visa (checked in the UK).
On most if not all flights I can recall I've ever taken I see same people doing check-in and taking baggage and then standing on the gate, often its the same person who took the baggage and letting me through for smaller/low cost airlines. This covers Europe but also some other parts of the world, albeit of course its not exhaustive coverage.

> I'm glad this is where the store's cut is going to, instead of perpetuating the Windows monopoly and lootbox gaming

Valve is practically the ones that mainstreamed lootbox gaming with Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike, and Dota 2. When others like Rocket League have removed lootboxes from their games altogether, Valve don't bother. The lootbox "winnings" being tradable and having an item marketplace (in which they take a cut of all transactions), makes it even more egregious to me.
I guess at some point it stops being a computer though?
It should. I am sure that Apple will be working on this now. It’s unfortunate that they didn’t implement it before. Maybe Apple itself didn’t realise that this data was being taken by the authorities, and the parts of Apple that did know were not allowed to inform engineering.
