10% is a big chunk.

Are you confused as to the meaning of 'big chunk'?

It by no means implies a majority or even close to a majority.

If you are confused about my previous comment, I added the 40% to 50% example to demonstrate the likely overall contribution of salaries to costs.

Is it really a security problem though? Something can be secure and support 3rd party clients. More likely this is just a walled garden problem. Because if it was just a security problem then Apple would have released a 1st party iMessage app for Android before now.

This doesn't answer your question though. I guess what I'd have liked to have seen is Apple release a public iMessage API. I know that would never happen, but one can dream. The approach Apple took was certainly predictable. I have no sympathy for Beeper either.
DEI is a scam where militants secure jobs, speaking and consulting contracts by exploiting legitimate grievances in a cynical manner. Rent Seeking.
Second one. It’s also not secret - you are greeted with a prompt, which you must accept, to complete enrolment (although granted you can’t use the device without accepting).

Essentially, the device phones home during setup, and asks Apple whether it’s in Apple Business/School Manager. If it is, and it’s assigned to an MDM, Apple will let it know the host name of that server to try and prompt the user to enroll into.

Ah, that makes more sense. I imagined scientists just reading the whole thing start-to-finish.

DEI is a way to say you did something, without doing the expensive thing that is really required, which is extensive wealth redistribution.

Fixing labor laws, minimum wages, parental leave, cash or securing good housing, etc is way more expensive. And a lot of it is not solvable in a timeline of a few decades, it would be a slow multi generational change.
It's evidence to me of the LLM or whatever's inability to reason in the slightest. It's currently unsuitable and dangerous as is.

> It's a lot. Battery production would have to increase. But it is increasing, and it's not an impossible amount.

Is it? Global battery production is about 500 GWh per year. A single digit percentage of that is going towards grid storage, it's mostly used for EVs and electronics. Even if we completely halted EV production, and dedicated 100% of global battery production to grid storage it'd take over a decade to just satisfy the United States' grid storage requirements. And that's just for diurnal storage, not seasonal storage. And again, that's dedicating 100% of global battery production to just one country.

While battery production is increasing, so is electricity use. As transportation and other industries decarbonized, and as poor countries grow richer, electricity use is going to rise and so will the storage requirements.

> because the daytime load is higher anyway

Nope, in fact it's the opposite. Load typically peaks after sundown, at around 8pm. This is why solving the duck curve is so hard. Solar produces no energy during peak demand: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_curve
Yep. I've needed a bunch of dumb tvs this year (don't ask) and they're what I landed on. Best Buy overnight delivered a half-dozen ~$100 tvs to my doorstep for free (I bought them one at a time), and I also grabbed some off the shelves at two nearby stores.
It wasn't the transition to NoSQL. It was the transition to web APIs. Now the application that can access the database has a universal shim in place that deals with the messy business of taking requests and applying them to the data store.

Now there's typically three applications that need DB access:

1. The application it was built for.

2. The read-only reporting and visualization tools.

3. The web API.

Right on. So it seems like you want a tilemap editor that includes a lot of assets from permissively licensed content?

That's a bit of a taller order than the first glance because you would necessarily need to split the free packages into tiles. Feels like the better move would be for someone to just make tilesets of these brushes, and then just use an already-existing tilemap editor for the rest of the functionality.

But if it's worth anything, I agree that both a simple map editor using the brushes for blitting onto a canvas, and a tilemap editor that defaults to these permissively licensed assets should be pretty easy to put together. The former is more aligned with things I'm already working on, which is why I asked.
Yeah they burn it :cry-blood:
Nice, it looks great too. I just cannot wait for an API.
The internet isn't really decentralized and realistically it cannot be.

Submarine cables are owned by companies, T1 ISPs provide the majority of routing and you really cannot prevent any of this.

Centralized control is somewhat required because submarine cables cost money and transit costs money and small companies simply do not have the capital to do that.

You're missing the context. The AI didn't actually do anything unexpected, unless you expected it to try and drive through a downed branch. The AI behaved exactly as it should. The unexpected part was when the car behind the AI didn't see the branch and, therefore, didn't expect the AI car in front to stop. Unexpected doesn't mean wrong.

Cars can do unexpected things for good reasons, as the AI did in this case.

Consumer application and FPGAs are an oxymoron in itself. FPGAs are used in applications requiring special interfaces, special computing units or other custom requirements. If there is enough demand, SoCs are developed for these applications, but this is only useful in mid to high volume production.
Areas like the ones you gave and many more are making heavy use of FPGAs. I work in medical for example. We are using custom designed chips for special detection purposes. But when it comes to data processing and interfacing with computers, we use FPGAs.

I don't quite understand the anger that DEI gets, unless people assume that people are only hired because they belong to a certain group. I'm not US based, so I only see that "safe for UK" view of what $Company blast over to us.

Musk and Thiel see the world in very specific ways. Because they are who they are, and the people that surround them, they will not change their view unless something drastic happens. They simply don't have to, because they are rich enough to weather any storm that requires anyone else to change tack. They have opinion gravity, where anything they say will become true, because people with the same opinions will gravitate towards them (see Taylor Swift & Kanye)

Don't get me wrong, there are parts of DEI that grate my balls: the performative celebration, the "days of action" and the tedious celebrations where we pretend that we've not got a problem with women in the workplace.

However, applying a bit of data to change a few procedures so that we get a better more diverse set of people joining and thriving, is fucking great. Done properly, most people wont notice.
For People who are already familiar with metamask, "Sign in with Ethereum" is so easy that makes people wish it was universal. It is even easy to generate new identities on demand: generate a new address/public key is literally a one-button operation.

The only thing that bugs me about is that is actually all your identities are still tied to same master passphrase, so if that gets compromised all of your identities get revealed.

EV route planning on CarPlay already exists, with the option to automatically plan charging stops and charging point usage information (e.g., x available spots etc.). Don’t know if it feeds anything back to help with preconditioning though.

Sadly only a handful of manufacturers make use of this. Seems to be only Porsche Taycan and Ford Mustang Mach-E thus far(0)

As for HUD integration, the next gen CarPlay concept showed that as a possibility, but the two concepts announced yesterday by Porsche and Aston Martin didn’t show that implementation[1].

Aww, I can't say I'm surprised that this text of mine (an open confession by a major european tech company to have racist employment standards) would be getting down-votes :-)

Or of course that a link criticizing DEI would get flagged on HN. Shocker.
Some services would go the subscription route and survive, but then they're limited to the users that are able and willing to pay. I can't imagine offering a search product or wiki product where payment is required. Donations may be a viable option but may not provide enough starting runway.

Maybe I've been drinking too much internet capitalism koolaid, but a completely ad-free internet would not have had the commercial lift we've enjoyed these past 20-plus years.
> We put it in trash bins [...]

This isn't the case, at least in the US. Trash from trash bins is almost exclusively dealt with locally, whether in landfills or incinerators. Essentially zero US household trash is shipped internationally.

Recycling is another matter. Plastic recycling frequently does follow the path you mentioned.

For this reason it can sometimes be more environmentally friendly to throw away plastic waste, sequestering it in your local landfill, than "recycling" it into the Pacific ocean.
I guess if they start layering LLMs or similar into their service or accessory interop stack I could see how having the phone running the model could be a big win for latency and availability. Like if Apple Calendar uses a GPT to create a .ics from the invitation text my friend sent me then it could be very handy to do that locally, moreso if I'm using my Apple Watch to actually signal that I want the .ics created.

The point of using something like VSCode is access to all of the features enabled by proprietary extensions. VSCodium has none of these and goes back to being worse than vim.

Microsoft is just engaging in open source cosplay when they publish the source code. They’re not interested in software freedoms as a concept (in fact, they are interested in explicitly denying them to users) and they certainly aren’t interested in enabling software freedoms via their releases (source code or otherwise).
Traffic and travel time are still a concern: Will I get to work in time for my shift? When I get home how much time will I have for dinner before [whatever you have planned that night]. When do I need to get into this car to make it to [whatever event]

If you are a single person working a flexible schedule (no mandatory meetings), with no other activities planned traffic and travel time are not a big deal. However if you have any life at all you will care about traffic and travel time because you have places to be. Watching netflix is not your goal it is how you kill time that you would prefer to do something else.

Yes, they bought any supply they could get their hands on. Also, it's not true that Nvidia cards were generally better for (Eth) mining. The Radeon VII for example outclassed Nvidia cards sold at the same time. It's just that Nvidia was able to supply more cards, since they had won the bigger gaming marketshare a while ago and thus were producing more.
The rogue accounts would show up in the administrative settings in the third-party apps, and they would stick out like a sore thumb because they'd have weird email addresses. So they're not completely invisible, albeit not visible from one central place.

> Needing the same level of access that an employee has in order to utilize it doesn't make it less valuable.

The only way that would be true is if compromising an employee account has no cost, which is obviously not the case. Thus, attackers would prefer to purchase a vulnerability that doesn't require also compromising an employee account.

Sure but the news outlet headline is ‘only three minor incidents’ when in fact they killed a dog. It’s an act of not including all the information in a report about safety.

Batch processing is also WAY faster (like 1-2 orders of magnitude), but for whatever reason people don't talk about it much (cynically, I guess because it's too straightforward and old-hat). As far as I can tell, Rails doesn't have multithreading/async, so the OP is presumably not batching requests. That seems like a much better place to start than giving up referential integrity.

That firefighter is probably using YouTube or scrolling through Instagram to unwind while they’re stuck at the station waiting for a call. Just because someone works in entertainment or ads doesn’t mean that the economic puzzle piece they represent isn’t valuable to society.
I didn't miss it, I deliberately ignored it. Short term, the issue is not inherent waste from renewables, it's how rapidly fossil fuels can be displaced. Renewables are massively better than nuclear on that score.

Longer term, gas is phased out, so the waste from it is irrelevant (or, rather, the CO2 was has to handled if any is still burned.) Renewables do not require natural gas. If natural gas is used for covering dunkelflauten in the short term, that can be handled by other non-fossil means (like e-fuels burned in turbines) in the longer term. And this will likely still be cheaper than using nuclear.

That's a terrible analogy. Per the OP, Beeper users are Apple customers:

> Beeper uses real registration data from real Macs and iPhones. These credentials are being used by real people, with real Apple accounts, to send real iMessages.
> I used to work on an application where ALL database accesses were via stored procedures. Genuinly the best dev experience, to me, so far.

I found such an environment to be simply terrible.

In general, I think stored procs certainly have their place, but if ALL access is through stored procs, you better have a schema that’s basically set in stone otherwise dev will turn into a nightmare.

- With the large-scale war of aggression against Ukraine since February 2022, the framework conditions for Russian-Chinese cooperation have fundamentally changed. Economic cooperation with China has become vital for Russia.

- Russian-Chinese trade has increased sharply since Moscow's invasion began. On the other hand, Chinese investments in Russia, which were already low, have continued to shrink since then.

- Fossil fuels remain the backbone of Russian-Chinese economic cooperation, but the infrastructure for a faster expansion of Russian exports is lacking.

- Russia's arms exports to China have been declining for several years. China, for its part, is exporting more and more dual-use goods to Russia, which are urgently needed by the Russian defense industry.

- Russian-Chinese cooperation in the IT industry has declined sharply since the start of the war of aggression against Ukraine, as Chinese digital companies fear US secondary sanctions.

- Russia's trade with China is largely conducted in yuan. However, Russia continues to rely on the US dollar for trade with other countries.

Wait, are there 1000 people going to work, and then the car parking outside of work? Or are those cars leaving where the people work to go elsewhere? the later creates more cars on the road. Sure those 1000 cars can go somewhere to park - but now we can't build much denser as we still need parking for the cars. Maybe we can move the cars out a bit for more density where people work, but then we need roads to get those cars back out.

My routine seems to be "ignore everything until I can't anymore." Most of the time I'm so spent doing what's required of me each day that I just sink into a low-power mode until I'm needed again. Which is pretty often...so I don't have much free time for self care. No amount of sleep I get seems to change how much energy I have, my joints and back are in terrible shape (genetics) so I can't do much exercise, and I often feel guilty whenever I enclose myself into my own little world with music or gaming because my son wants to be a part of my life.

What has been the best for my mental health has been reconnecting with my faith life and converting to Catholicism. Generally I just get the impression no matter where I go I just have to make myself available for whatever God needs me to do. So me making plans tends to not matter in the end lol
Yeah like I hate to say this, but do we need _that many_ sites about cameras, gadgets, games, cars, or <insert topic>?

Do all those sites need to be commercial enterprises with sales teams and large editorial teams? Or could they go back to being hobby passion projects?

Or maybe there's just a handful of them and they are subscription-based for people who _really_ want that kind of news, and the best writers and creators gravitate to those sites and they build a sustainable business that way?

The ad-supported business model has allowed perhaps _too many_ people per topic area to try their hand at garnering eyeball in exchange for what is ultimately the same repackaged content, because they don't need their users to pay for the content, they just need to draw them in to support the sales of ads or tracking data.

This incentivizes all kinds of user-hostile behaviours in the quest for profit (or even just sustainability).
I think the most reasonable approach would be to use the differential price. Of course, that's kicking the can down the road a bit. Meal plan burger is $11, the burger next door is $10, but the burger back home in Podunk, Flyoversas is $6. Certainly the $1 differential price is immediately obvious and seems fair, but would I be eating even that ten buck burger if I hadn't moved to Cosmetropolis, New Coast? Could I argue a five dollar differential? Perhaps, but then you're getting into "the cost of college" versus "the cost of a specific college."

It's a tough problem. You're left with this kind of Sliding Doors situation where you are left attempting to compare two different life-strands: one in which you went to college and had to buy decent Wellingtons and an overcoat and gloves because of the weather there and one where you stayed at home, because the weather in Podunk is at least pleasant.
One great things about the tech industry is that it includes people from many sorts of backgrounds. People from many different countries and many different cultures, especially immigrants. China, India, and eastern Europe are heavily represented, but so are immigrants from other places, and second-generation immigrants.

This is real diversity, and it's wrong to evaluate diversity in a way that ignores this.
That moves the costs around but doesn’t reduce them per se.
