You have, once again, described an expensive and bad train.
Reading the documentation I can't figure it out. It sounds like there are a lot of things that feed into "Precise Location" that go beyond GPS. It could be true though that only cell-tower reckoning is used without "Precise Location". I generally only pull up Google maps on longer road trips that aren't really turn-by-turn, so maybe I have the only use case for a map with weak location services.
Funny. On the other end of the spectrum, I have zero. My dad was an only child and my mom’s brother didn’t have any kids. I have one sister.

Family events are not a thing for us.
Seems legitimate to me.

There's no reasonable case for trespass under the CCFA as proper credentials are being used and there's no intent to use that access to commit further crime.

You can't infringe on intellectual property of a server by making requests to it, that doesn't make sense. Any case there would be access violations under the CCFA which are already covered above.

The only real claim would be the intellectual property of the client app in the way that it forms requests and accepts responses which this system is undoubtedly based on the reverse engineering of. The only problem with that argument is that the DMCA includes a specific exemption for interoperability as fair use.

Note that simply building a new client app doesn't necessarily constitute fair use, but in this case the client app extends to a platform that is otherwise not supported. Seems a pretty obvious case for interoperability in my eyes.

"Fair" or "unfair", what is the crime? Your intuition pump doesn't include enough details to be useful, I don't understand it.
Another thing is, by driving the speed limit I am reducing the average speed on the road. So any driver whose heuristic for choosing a driving speed involves some kind of averaging will drive slower because of me.
Obviously not good, I’m just being a little glib. If correctly dosed I suppose people would be getting a somewhat more effective medication than they thought they were getting. Those who were getting caffeine or ibuprofen, not so much.
Maybe use android then? Then you can use newpipe, AdAway, FF with desktop add-ons. I use it and don't have the same problem
It's a function of money and bubbles within class strata. Antiwork is all minimum wage workers (or those making low to median amounts of money) and they see their wages not growing while things get more expensive. Your tech peers are relatively rich so they wouldn't be salty. Both are different bubbles that rarely intersect.

In fact, this reminds me of Slate Star Codex's I can tolerate anything except the outgroup [0], where the author talks about how he doesn't interact with conservatives even though he's aware that half of the US is composed of them.

The real problem is math. You will always be able to get more throughput with a slowish, long train than a fast, short Hyperloop car. It's latency vs bandwidth.

I made these arguments two decades ago when I was still in university that PDF is a horrible format because it's purely præsentational, especially for people with disabilities whose software relies on semantic information. LaTeX last time I used it didn't even have a different symbol for uppercase Alpha and A because the glyphs are indistinguishable.

They argued that PDF was superior because the publisher could control how it looked and it looked the same everywhere but the point is that it should not. Things such as font size and line spacing should be at the control of the consumer, not the publisher. This isn't simply blind people but for instance also persons with dyslexia who use particular fonts to make it easier to read for them. Or in my case, someone who simply gets a headache from fronts and line-spacing that is too big. I've also been using darkmode everywhere for so long now that reading black text on a white surface on a screen gives me a headache.

This is a somewhat common startup acquisition pattern; seen it before many times, and not just by Cisco:

>Thomas Graf was at Cisco prior to building Isovalent

>Cisco has this idea of spin-ins, that they executed on for sometime

Generalized:

Work at parent company, create something innovative, start child company to develop that, get noticed by the world, parent buys you ... profit! That is, you profit - if you're smart, and not bamboozled by their acquisition terms.
What do you think about advertisements played by broadcast radio stations? How about billboards?
This, indeed, rather than label an 18 year old - whether he's legally an adult or not - as violent and unable to learn, and throw them in a cage for the rest of their lives.
Yeah! Kind of terrifying... The only thing giving me comfort here is that these were all done in a single day, and I can't help but wonder if there's some bug or correlation. That said, even if its a bug in the model that they rolled back, it's still scary.

There appears to be no ability to search for a specific nursing home, especially one that's independent.

A step cousin of mine is a state auditor for care and nursing homes in CA. There aren't many of them and I guess they have to do their jobs using data and complaints because they can't possibly hope to evaluate every facility every N years where N < 15.

People writing and moderating Ru Wikipedia. Go check yourself, with a Google translate for example. Their pettiness know no bounds, see articles on the Kievan Rus (they even tried to rename it a few times), downing of MH17 Boeing, Russian invasion and occupation of Georgia, Russian invasion and occupation of Ukraine since Feb 2014, basically anything touching history and politics. It is quite clear that Ru Wikipedia is a state sanctioned and controlled operation.
One thing that's irked me about Tech DEI is that it overwhelmingly benefitting non-URM women, while I really only see the justifications for benefitting racial minorities on Dei grounds.

The justifications for benefitting underrepresented racial minorities seem way, way stronger than gender. Black and Latin students are less likely to go to college, while women are more likely to go to college than men. Some try to justify affirmative action for women in tech on the grounds of ameliorating the pay gap, but that too has reversed and now favors women. The idea that favoring women over men is justified to the same degree as favoring disadvantaged ethnic minorities seems absurd to me.

I'd be way more motivated to spend time mentoring or otherwise helping aspiring high school and college students from underprivileged backgrounds. But instead effectively all of the "DEI" I've seen has been preferences for well off White and Asian women, rather than people coming from underprivileged backgrounds

I want to be clear I don't fault or resent non-URM women. Many (most?) agree that diversity initiatives ought to be focused on ethnic disparities. These women also had no agency over these policies, they are institutions by leadership, often over the objections of the supposed beneficiaries.
funny that one of the better f u t u r e ideas in this thread got heavily downvoted. This is probably one of the more efficient ways to automate package delivery, up to a small-ish size, and requiring a pretty high density. If NY wasn't a clusterfuck when it comes to getting projects built, they might actually have the density to justify the maintenance costs.

There was no trial to prove phenylephrine was effective, thus there was no fraud.

Phenylephrine has been available for over a century. It was an unapproved drug. The FDA grandfathered it in (as it did many drugs) by just making sure it wasn't harmful.

DEA has a set cap for amphetamine production and demand is higher than the cap.
TIL, thanks. But uh, I expected `JSON.stringify` to throw errors when met with unencodable objects, like Python does. But it silently corrupts the values. A typical JavaScript thing.

I also think the automatic conversion of a `Date` to a string is a bad thing, which again is prohibited in Python.
Ask HN: Gaussian Splat for position-correct cubemap reflections?
An obvious use case for Gaussian splats in game rendering is to replace pre-baked cubemap reflections with Gaussian splats, so that your static level’s reflection lookup always have the correct positional perspective.

This way the runtime cost is just a GS lookup rather than fully retracing the scene every frame, if all you wanted is reflections of the static level.

You also don’t need to swap out cubemaps between different sections of your level, since the pre-baked “master splat” is correct everywhere in the level.

I’ve tried to Google recent papers and/or blog posts/YoutTube videos about people using it this way, but couldn’t seem to find any mentions of this particular low-hanging application for Gaussian Splatting.

Does anyone here on HN know of any ongoing work to replace cubemap reflections with Gaussian Splats?

Strange they didn’t wait with this announcement a week or two, to allow proper holiday to fellow developers.

From postfix -
“Days before a 10+ day holiday break and associated production change freeze, SEC Consult has published an email spoofing attack that involves a composition of email services with specific differences in the way they handle line endings other than <CR><LF>.

Unfortunately, criticial information provided by the researcher was not passed on to Postfix maintainers before publication of the attack, otherwise we would certainly have convinced SEC Consult to change their time schedule until after people had a chance to update their Postfix systems.

Are the 25F devices cheaper? Cuz heat pumps are very expensive and I could see someone thinking a cheaper model was a halfway green measure. (Although with the way the midwestern winter has been so far it they might be fine this year)

Quite so. The font annoys me. This is one of the reasons I hate PDF and why I believe these things should be controlled by the person reading it, not the publisher.

I do not much care what font the auctor finds pleasant to read, but what I find pleasant to read, and this font isn't it, and neither are the colors.

Latency on adjustments primarily.

If you're cooking a roux for example or sauteing garlic, 30 second latency is enough to ruin them.

Also, I have a feeling that the heat is distributed more evenly but no concrete evidence on that.

If I google "fossfox", it's usually result number 20-30. The first few results are links/pages about the actual dot com, mixed with links/pages of what I'm guessing was the previous owner's product.

On Bing/Yahoo/Duck, it's result #1.

Ask HN: Future of Autonomous Cars: Tracks?
Currently, autonomous vehicles are vehicles equipped with many sensors/cameras and controlled by AI models (at least the most well-known). This is likely the best solution for our existing infrastructure.

But are there any attempts to construct a city with car tracks?

Wouldn't a centrally "steered" system, like these autonomous trains, that don't require "AI" and cameras/sensors, be a more safe and cost-effective long-term solution?

Currently, these systems operate on a set timetable, but this might be expanded such that each "car" can act autonomously and drive wherever it wants on the track while still being "steered" autonomously centrally.

This was basically just a "shower thought" and I absolutely don't know anything about this subject.
Please correct me if I'm stupid; I'm just wondering whether this makes sense.
Yup the postfix maintainers seem peeved:

Oops, an omission. macro scale atom*
A little more than half of the plastic found in the ocean and large enough to be recognizable comes from fishing nets. Those are enormous and are used very aggressively: raking the floor, pulling hard even when it’s stuck against rocks, etc. It’s cheaper to carry spares on the way out at sea than to care about not losing them: those will go gone soon enough and replaced by fish on the way back anyway.

If you care about that, there are ways to get fish that isn’t caught with industrial trawlers like this, but it requires meaningful attention. Be conscious fishmongers will lie to your face, so traceability is critical. They routinely lied to my dad when they knew him personally; they knew he was in charge of fish stocks too, and he wasn’t shy about his ability to differentiate species. And not white lies, like misplacing the species with something equivalent or from the wrong part of the same bay: he was routinely told they were selling fish that was banned from sale after he had pointed out it wasn’t the right species, that species was extinct in that country, and the only stock available was farmed…

All that to say: you can help, but it’s a big uphill battle. I guess that half counts as industrial that you don’t touch.

The other half (of the plastic found in the ocean) is from countries without sufficient garbage collection. There was an effort to collect it around the “Team Rivers” effort (after “Team Trees”) from a couple of YouTubers.

I remember someone criticizing the effort as whitewashing the reality: there were draft laws to collect garbage. However, in budget-constraint countries without an omnipresent tax collection capacity, that depends on financing it by collecting a fee from known brands using plastic packaging. Lobbyists from well-known international brands opposed the laws to protect margins. I couldn’t find that reaction with minimal effort, but I can try harder to track it if you are interested.

There is plastic thrown out by pigs in Western countries. It flies in the wind and gets into rivers and the ocean, but that’s materially less overall. I’d still blame the same well-known brands for not using glass or metallic bottles, though.

So, in that second case, you do touch it and the culprits are well-known sugary water vendors.

I don't personally have any thoughts on ShadcnUI (I've really never heard of it), but I did use DaisyUI when it first launched (v1 or so?). I personally like the way Daisy is thought out, and structured. I also recently started a new project, and I'm integrating DaisyUI again after reading this blog post as well!
I'm not sure if this is a 'I can't believe they actually did that' moment, or an 'I told you so' moment, because even though it is the inevitable result of tolerating such technology in the consumer sphere, by using it against an entire nation's transportation system I am in awe of how incredibly brazen it is. You don't cut open the golden goose! You had it great being able to screw over consumers but now you have gotten governments and infrastructure involved, and you will reap the consequences.
It's worth noting that Eyeo makes money by being paid to not block ads. This article estimates it at 55M euro in 2020.

https://www.startbase.com/news/adblock-plus-mutter-eyeo-waec...

I can understand defining a standard for acceptable ads.

I can understand allowing ads that meet that standard.

What I struggle with is allowing ads that meet that standard AND require payment.
Look im not advocating for showing children videos of the atrocities of war before theyre ready to see that kind of horror but those videos dont represent any one view point. A video of an atrocity is a video of an atrocity no matter your "view of reality" and discriminating between propaganda using footage of atrocities and the footage itself is an important skill that it seems like a lot of people in our society dont have.
A small home generator will be far less efficient than a central gas power plant, even after transmission losses.

If you take 1 unit of gas and burn it you get ate 1 unit of heat

If you take 1 unit of gas and make electicity in a power plant you get 0.5 units of electricity and can make that into 1.5 units of heat

If you take 1 unit of gas and make electicity in a small home generator you make 0.1 j it’s of electicity and make 0.3 units of heat

The ratios are likely to be off on the specifics but that’s how a heat pump powered by grid electicity from grid gas is better than gas directly and gas directly is better than a local generator.

>Ads aren't ads. They're trackers, viruses, malware, scams. Even video ads on Youtube, whilst not vectors of viruses or malware, they're advertising literal scams and YouTube are responding saying these ads are 'within' policy guidelines.

>If it was just advertising, then I'd be much less rabidly agressive in my defense of blocking it: Annoying is a long way separated from Dangerous.

This really needs to be emphasized more, because the problem is that these so-called "ads" aren't just ads anymore as you said.

If they were just ads, sure they would be annoying (or hilarious if they are made well!) but ultimately not something that most of us would feel a religious desire to block out of our lives.

But no, they aren't just ads anymore. They are malicious in their intent and harmful in their contents. If it's not the "ads" trojan horsing malware onto our computers, it's their contents directing us towards scams and harmful activities. That dangerous bullshit deserves to be blocked out with extreme prejudice.

Adblocking is the anti-virus of the 2010s and '20s, it's a defensive measure to keep ourselves safe.

I stopped using Chrome in all my personal stuff years ago, but its getting harder and harder to find a browser not based on Chrome.

My work? Yeah, they switched from Firefox to Chrome since Chrome updated their license faster. If you want to get FF installed on your laptop now, it takes an act of congress. Even as a developer you have to go through a process to get it installed; they discourage it that much. You also get a FF version that is about 4 versions older than the current stable version.

What kind of precedent is there for this pattern working successfully, long term, in any industry? 'Review companies' get sabotaged all the time if they were ever reliable at all. I sure wouldn't want to rely on one for medicine I give to my family if it was anything like relying on Yelp for a decent restaurant. I'm not at all convinced that the open market is a valid locale for these incentives - it seems to come with inherent conflict of interest.

Maybe it's reasonable for us to agree that some kinds of oversight are worth funding as a society without waiting for incentives to sprout up out of the ground.
