AI plumbing sounds like an idea that burns money and quickly runs out. Have you ever seen what plumbing looks like across different properties? Or ever talked to a plumber as to what their job entails? It's not nuclear physics, but it's also not legos or software.
As a young teen, I joined a local Commodore users group and at the meetings you could buy the latest monthly floppy disk for a small fee, and you never knew what you would find on it.
It does seem odd to build a building out of that much glass in a climate like Chicago’s.

Beta test it, if you're eligible, and if you paid for it.
I don't think that's even necessary. Most of us are forced to survive under conditions we have almost no control over, so it's natural to not admire/celebrate those who do have the control and prioritize shareholder profits instead of everyone's quality of life.
Context: "click" - "Command Line Interface Creation Kit" - easily create CLIs from Python code, via adding decorators: https://github.com/pallets/click

It is multi-faceted, but maybe it seems not so complicated in that the decision to raise a price beyond a certain point is on the price-setter (right?) and that seems to be a driver of this situation, as you have stated -- using the adage (“profits are an opinion, cash is a fact."), seems like it's an arbitrary decision to make prices move up beyond a certain point...

He was told that after the grace period ends, his account would become "read-only". Interpreting "read-only" as "I will still have read access to the data" is not unreasonable. I'm guessing that neither of us would have trusted it, but HN readers are not representative of the population as a whole. Google should have provided explicit notice of their intention to delete the data a reasonable amount of time in advance, accounting for the amount of data involved. I don't think that a week is reasonable in any case, but it is especially unreasonable when hundreds of TB of data need to be moved.
You definitely shouldn't require users to install pipx and double definitely not Python. Pipx is good for dev tooling like tox et al, though.

Did you ever try pyinstaller?
They also charge more for 4k and don't deliver on it. Most people who pay for 4k notice the piss poor quality of the stream. Don't charge for something you can't deliver.

I personally enjoyed Netflix more when it was a back catalog of older quality shows, and not a glut of baking/crafting/reality competition shows. If you're going to give me the same things I can get on network television it's not worth paying for, especially if they now have an ad tier.
Can't disagree there.

That is why I actually like the approach in the RDOF. It has regular progress check-ins built in, instead of the seemingly no strings attached grants given historically. This stage two review was "are you likely to succeed based on progress since stage one", but there are further delivery checkpoints that come with penalties and bonuses for under and over delivering.

Well, bad news, Tesla Vision is not stereoscopic since they use monocular cameras [1] except in the front where they use three side-by-side cameras with different focal lengths (60m, 150m, 250m) with less separation than human eyes which can not be used for stereoscopic depth calculation. So, even if we assumed that for some reason we would want to hamstring ourselves by restricting ourselves to evolution's solutions and the metaphorical equivalent of flapping airplanes, Tesla was apparently still too stupid to realize that animal evolution resulted in two eyes, not one.

It is actually shocking that anybody pushes the "good enough for evolution" narrative when Tesla has completely and utterly failed to do even that right. This is even ignoring all of the other purely mechanical inadequacies of cameras relative to eyes such as resolution, dynamic range, dynamic attention-based focal lengths, being mounted on mobile swivel to allow for parallax calculations, etc. Let alone the other neurological elements that are not fully understood of integral to human-level perception. But no, they could not even get the two eyes instead of one eye part right.

The vita sucked with no homebrew and the switch is another psp. You could run games off the pro duo or a microsd adapter but vita was locked down, slow and a bunch of lame remakes and psp titles. The PSP emulated up to the PS1.

By the time the switch was around people had been emulating on Android for a long time. They can do better graphics but there hasn’t been a game that made me feel like I needed 4K on handheld. The switch really is another golden age for gaming with the switch being hacked so quickly and having such good homebrew.
I find it impressive that the government is actually punishing a project for running late and underdelivering. They should expand this to all parts of the government. Can you imagine if the F-35 was cancelled the first time it fell behind schedule? The Space Launch System? The Littoral Combat System? The USS JFK?

So many boondoggles could be killed off before they spend money. Maybe contractors would have to start properly estimating costs up front. Or maybe nothing would ever get done again.

I do wonder what the FCC is planning to do with these funds if they aren't funding Starlink. Are they going to go towards a "safer" project like Project Kuiper? Or maybe dumping it into Inmarsat?
That's what they were saying about the internet too.
You just need a lesson in "nonduelism".
So? What is preventing the company from just using it anyway and paying a fine later? The culture of these growthmaxxing companies pretty much ensures a philosophy of "don't ask for permission, ask for forgiveness".

I get extra annoyed when I buy something on eBay and the "seller" just ordered the thing from Amazon and had them ship it to me.

I don't buy things from Amazon for a reason, and it's incredibly annoying to have been forced to do business with them anyway, even indirectly.
> Starlink success, and to that extent, SpaceX, are arguably tied to government money.

Citation please.

The government are paying SpaceX as a customer, they're not giving them free money.

Also note they're paying them a lot less than they pay ULA for the same things
That's not being fair, that's making excuses. If the problem is that hard, don't be running your mouth about you'll have it done in six months, and charge people money while you work out the bugs.
SMERF: Streamable Memory Efficient Radiance Fields
We built SMERF, a new way for exploring NeRFs in real-time in your web browser. Try it out yourself!

Over the last few months, my collaborators and I have put together a new, real-time method that makes NeRF models accessible from smartphones, laptops, and low-power desktops, and we think we’ve done a pretty stellar job! SMERF, as we like to call it, distills a large, high quality NeRF into a real-time, streaming-ready representation that’s easily deployed to devices as small as a smartphone via the web browser.

On top of that, our models look great! Compared to other real-time methods, SMERF has higher accuracy than ever before. On large multi-room scenes, SMERF renders are nearly indistinguishable from state-of-the-art offline models like Zip-NeRF and a solid leap ahead of other approaches.

The best part: you can try it out yourself! Check out our project website for demos and more.

If you have any questions or feedback, don’t hesitate to reach out by email (smerf@google.com) or Twitter (@duck).
It was not targeted. They are not able to meet the constraints written out in the law. Are you saying we should ignore the law as it was written and give them the hand out anyway?
I'm a huge fan of Kaufman's work but only recently saw Synecdoche, New York, which immediately became my favorite movie, ever. That led me down a rabbit hole of listening to basically every recorded interview he's ever given. He's absolutely brilliant, sincerely humble, probably depressed, and just an absolute joy to listen to. I have a simple quote from him on my computer that I look at from time to time:

I try to do what I can to put something in the world that is not garbage.

I don't know, I've never happily acknowledged the existence of DRM. I'm from the US and, as far as I can tell, I and people in my periphery see it as a negative and use it as basically "This f-ing DRM is always preventing me from watching my movies in 4K even though I paid for 4K" kinds of situations
Strange they used shortcuts on Windows, as Windows has had links since Vista:

Either this is because it's not at all well known, or because they think some users will be on XP. (Which would be strange)
Or Operation: Inner Space. It used the file system to generate sectors to visit to clear viruses from your EXEs, and collecting non-contaminated EXEs to use as currency.

It works great with Windows' backwards compatibility, but modern filesystems have so many thousands of directories the game is now impossible to complete.

It was. The V2 that they are deploying is supposedly communicating directly between satellites, making it faster than fiber over long distances.

Elon advertised that in 2019 or something already.

I don't deny it is life changing for those people ! All I'm saying is that it's not economically viable to provide that to those people. And the only way it is, it's because it's either a business bleeding money, or supported by the government.

Not an artist, but seems like a neat idea.

Killer marketing function: when I clicked through, I was immediately looking for a live example. You've got the carousel of screenshots, but show me what the actual output looks like.

Heck, add this as an opt-in in the signup process (or better, as a later opt-in once you've shown value), then showcase 4–5 artists. What artist wouldn't want a little free publicity?

I saw your example in the comments below (https://noise.site/kalume)—yes!

Very fun seeing these numbers, and basically in a totally different class of performance versus most everyone else.

Deno seems fairly middle of the pack for pricing. Google Firestore comes off as looking wildly cheap. Network costs being so unclear in most places makes it harder to assess.

This and Deno KV's new Watch API (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38602157) make me pretty excited to see this, boost my interest in migrating to Deno Deploy. Cool to see a high flying technically excellent hosted platform running on FoundationDB. And I appreciate that there are local-dev tools available for it too, that the API is reasonably small & diy-able if you want/need.

The fault here still lies with Google. Why advertise the plan as "unlimited" if it is not actually unlimited.

I was in a similar boat a few years ago. Had about 70 TB of archives and backups on Google Drive and was forced to scramble to move these somewhere else when they terminated the unlimited plan.
Many general M:N threading solutions have been tried over the years. As far as I know current thinking is still that you need substantial cooperation from a language runtime to make it worthwhile. (And even then it's hard - Java's first attempt failed and they went 1:1 essentially between 1998-2022.)
The whole point of increasing interest rates is to encourage the same behavior, holding onto money instead of spending it, thus making money "less" available or removing it from the market. I think doing things to cause deflation to say, curb inflation from say 8% to 5% (by causing 3% deflation in value) helps as its context dependent.

I agree deflation of value into the negatives over a long term causes its own set of issues, but after you went on a big money printing spree to deal with an economic crisis, I think something like counter deflation is possible if inflation rate is still positive.

> vintage ... retro ... hole in the wall .. weird ... artisan .. dubios

The adjectives you used are the opposite of mass market. Thus mass-market advertising doesn't work, so those businesses don't spend money in those channels.

The ads that work on billboards are very high dollar services businesses, or multi-nationals who need to spend through budgets everywhere for neilsen scores.

For example: insurance, lawyers and RE agents - they need to build "trust" through name recognition so when you do decide to make that purchase/call, you call them first.

A retro game store billboard would be awesome - but how many people driving the interstate are interested in vintage games vs how many people will be buying a home in their lifetime?

There's nothing stopping any business from buying billboards, but the economics just don't make sense apart from the whole "getting your face on a billboard" schtick that's fun.

On the flip side, if you've ever been to a local sporting event like farm league baseball or local race track, you'll see all sorts of billboards for funky little local shops and services. That's cause the ads cost a couple hundred bucks and come with perks like tickets for your employees, and you're supporting your local community, so the ROI doesn't really matter.

Roadside billboards cost thousands per month and typically come with pretty high minimums.

So there is a risk premium, and then there is a "risk premium".

Neither is a dismissal of the concept itself. It's about the intentions of the companies.

>Thing is, this business is probably not economically viable. It can work if not a lot of people use it - but it's maintained afloat by government money. But if 10x customers sign on, bandwidth will completely plummet and it won't be such a great service anymore.

That's a nice story, but can you do some math to substantiate it? For instance, is there some fundamental limit between how much bandwidth a satellite can provide, how much it costs, and how much the monthly subscription is?

You are blaming the users for taking "unlimited" literally, while it was the company who said the plan was "unlimited" in the first place. Nobody forced them to market it that way. If they know 99.9% of users are fine with 1Tb, then they should sell them that and not lie in their marketing.
I had it installed for a while, and there were fairly frequent crashes (i.e. about once every 8 hours of reading) requiring a reboot.

Both activities happen in the same economy. Zero-sum or negative-sum activities are plenty. Asset speculation is one such area where the first, second and third order effects are all completely useless to society as a whole, and lack meaningful externalities.

The truth is markets work great for some things and terrible for other things. When you make a means a goal you always end up with absurdity, in any system.
