The last time I looked around I didn't see much in that area except what appeared to be huge industrial-scale printers, but I agree that it's a market they could definitely disrupt, like they've already done for 3D printers. There's certainly a lot of demand for a simple printer with open-source drivers + firmware, no user-hostile features, and using widely-available standard parts (and bulk ink.)
According to the article, instant ink isn't just you paying for ink but also per page. The lowest price has a max of 10 pages a month, then you pay extra.
All those processes living in our containers are going to want the red pill eventually. Haven’t you seen the matrix?

But seriously though, it’s so you can write exploits or satisfy that curious itch when working with a cloud service.
Convert 50kW by random cheap adapter, it looks like a one of the most dangerous thing.
> I fall into this bucket, but it would never occur to me that I should want to sign up for a service that charges me per page printed.

Instead of instant ink, I opted for getting a bazillion pages out of a toner cartridge. This Brother is the first printer I owned I didn't need to setup on anything. The first time I went to print from my phone it was there. Which was kind of weird but certainly welcome.
HP died after Carly Fiorina’s stint as CEO. All of the good will that HP had before was excised and basically anything was okay as long as it made money. HP went from one of the founders of Silicon Valley to one of the worst companies in the world. I never touched or trusted an HP product since Fiorina and every few months I keep getting reminded why this was a great idea.
Yeah and we did just print 40% of the money supply, so I’d imagine the bulk of this is on the shoulders of the federal reserve.
And they would let you skip the preroll ads and just watch the damn movie.
I don’t know. A lot of people moved to suburbs for a very high quality of life per dollar using cars. Then they gained even more when work from home grew. The organic vegetables I’m e-biking around SF were trucked into Rainbow, not scootered. Trucks moved the berry pickers onto the fields. Cars and trucks shlep a lot of people and stuff and make a lot of very cheap land and a lot of very cheap labor accessible to many, many people. There wasn’t some huge surplus created by scooters the way there was with cars, for all their faults.
and how many of those are rent controlled and in jurisdictions where housing is in short supply and homelessness is on the rise
HP gear used to wear like iron because back when HP was Hewlett-Packard, they were primarily a scientific instrument company, and they built their computer peripherals like they built their instruments.

During and after Carly's tenure, they made some dumb M&A moves, like spinning off their scientific instruments division, acquiring Compaq, and going all in on consumer electronics. Thus began their slow, but steady, enshittification.
The Red Sea situation is bad
I’m using parts of Shadcn on a real product making real money. It’s really just a combination of cva, radix, and tailwind that you can copy into your app and customize/extend.

Shadcn, radix, and tailwind are all FOSS so they are not “high-priced”.

Your analysis is shallow and unfounded.
I'll keep that model number handy in case I ever need to print a ton, thanks!
Everything new is going to be oversold. That is not an indictment of the technology, although it's also fair to point that out to counteract the exaggerated perceptions that the overselling creates.

Putting aside all of the hype, LLM are already providing enormous productivity boosts in some activities, and those boosts can be fairly characterized as revolutionary when you consider how significant they are and how quickly they came about since GPT2.
Totally agree. And even more so for hire bikes.

I think hybrid transportation models of this kind are really essential to having liveable cites in the future, but businesses really shouldn't be able to benefit from just ignoring negative externalities associated with their model, and that (unfortunately) includes their customers behaving in an antisocial and/or selfish way. This is no different from how noise levels for residents are considered when granting a license for a bar or something. You're not able to just plan for a world where everyone behaves in a decent and considerate fashion.

Where I live we had a bike and scooter company who had a "park anywhere" type model and our pavements[1] were really littered all the time with bikes and it was difficult (as someone who basically walks everywhere) to get around. Now that company has disappeared and the bike/scooter companies which remain have to look after their inventory and keep it in defined parking spots the situation is a lot better. I don't exactly know how enforcement has been set up and I do see abandoned bikes and scooters around, but I also see company employees rounding them up and taking them to the right spots so the system appears to be working.

In my experience, Llama 2 (70B) can semi-reliably provide JSON output when provided with clear instructions and various distinct but similarly structured examples. It goes from “semi-reliably” to “consistently” when fine-tuned.

The primary issue I’ve run into is exhausting the context window much sooner than I’d like. Fine-tuning tends to mostly fix this issue though.
> I feel winded and oxygen starved only a couple reps later than when I originally started.

Isn't that a pretty good improvement? I was really happy when I went from 1 rep at 90% of my max to 3 reps. It took me a fairly long time and this was before COVID.

Or perhaps I use a different definition of stamina? Regardless, the fact that there was an improvement shows that it can get better?

Keep at it. If you've got the resources, a good PT might be able to help. Not one of those grifters that did a 3 week course, but someone with an actual understanding of sports science.
Tired of cookies and ads so taking over every basic site and creating ad free versions. 5 down.
Even the cheap ones are good? I'll keep that in mind. I bought the cheapest instant ink HP printer for about 100 CAD years ago. It's still happily churning out a dozen pages a month or so.
Hmmm.

You do realise that if I were to win then the five gold bars would be gone in the wind and you'd be ponying up for another five to pay out on the wager?
It really is an issue that's hard to feel empathy for. "Poor rich people, they can't buy a status symbol on a whim anymore" but grey market also means increased risk of counterfeit watches.
I had something similar (not covid related tho). I was having allergy issues, which caused post nasal drip, which caused acid reflux, which caused asthma! Once I fixed my allergies, all the other stuff went away.
Sure, but to the OP's point, isn't that because the US has subsidized car parking to an insane level? Most parts of the country have literal legal minimum amounts of parking spots for cars you have to have to be able to run a business or build a house there. There's none of that for bikes or scooters.

I'm not trying to excuse Bird here - I'm annoyed by scooters parked in the sidewalk like anyone, but going "car people are so nice and not antisocial" is kinda pointing at the underlying unfairness. If we spent/regulated billions of scooter parking spots, Bird wouldn't have an issue either.
Yep, I can most definitely empathize! When I was a fresh grad I remember realizing something similar -- some people prefer "to not rock the boat" if they're comfortable...

I think the key here is in determining the "desire" part for the people involved. Sometimes you need to get creative, but I acknowledge that this part can be a tough nut to crack sometimes. You can therefore also use ADKAR to figure out why your change might not go through now that I think about it.

You need two hats. A work hat and family hat. This is the only possible social cue that will work in the long term.

I would completely expect my family to get behind this. I've worked remotely for many years now so my kids were (in theory) well trained to not bother me while I'm working. However, that started to get more lax post-covid. I also used to specifically work late at night and in the morning while they were at school. As they get older and stay up later, it has gotten more difficult to keep that schedule.

I recently moved my office to our third floor space. I'm hoping the extra work required to go up a flight of stairs will limit spontaneous interruptions during the day. I'm hopeful, but don't expect it to work long term.

Maybe I need hats...
I find it interesting that companies are allowed to make statements like this:

> “Despite decades of investigation and myriad epidemiological and laboratory studies, no scientist or doctor — whether or not affiliated with Syngenta — has ever concluded in a peer-reviewed scientific analysis that paraquat causes Parkinson’s,” the company’s chief communications officer, Saswato Das, wrote in an email.

This has many qualifiers, it must be:

* 'Concluded', so an 'extremely strong link between' would not be sufficient for them

* 'causes Parkinson's' -> so if it 'triggers' Parkinson's, or is 'strongly linked to' the onset of Parkinson's, that wouldn't be sufficient

Effectively they're saying unless you can show me video evidence of this bullet killing not just one person, but multiple people and can prove that the bullet is what did it.. then we don't believe it.

That doesn't surprise me at all, money is money. But why are companies /allowed/ to make such deceptively worded statements like this? If it later turns out someone /can/ prove this, will they pay for such deceptive statements, let alone return the lives of those they have taken? Doubtful
Look up Kepone. It’s awful. Stories like Kepone happen way too often and won’t stop until the people who signed off on it are in jail for life.

What consequences did the Snowden Leaks have?

I mean for the intelligence agencies – not for Edward Snowden. I'm of course aware his life has been destroyed. But what consequences were there for the people and institutions responsible?
I have no problem with the owned scooters. The scooter rental market is designed to tax the walking infrastructure. They need to have plug in stalls like the electric bikes. There also needs to be a way of keeping them off sidewalks.
I'd say Brexit and the "rising nationalism" is because the system is creating social instability by negating, even denying the existence of, people's desire to belong to a nation and to preserve their own distinct culture and social norms.

Another workaround is using sticky keys a11y features, which changes modifiers to work in sequence rather than need to be pressed simultaneously.
As the restrictions are now blocking the IMPORT of such equipment it really is getting to be quite a joke. In the US we are only allowed to have expensive potato quality cameras with 9fps and even then that's not shitty enough -- they also have to have to inject artificial noise into it!
Shadcn seems more polished and complete than Catalyst, and it's free. Absolutely no reason to pay for Catalyst. btw: is the active state missing from Tailwind since Shadcd buttons are also missing them?
YES THIS! I had forgotten about that.

Jesus Christ that was obnoxious. I recall back then buying some DVD's and then pirating the movie so I didn't have to sit through that nonsense. There's no hard and fast rules about it, but today it's even more relevant - if you pay good money for a product, you shouldn't have to sit through the ads.
Yeah I probably use 5% (or less) of emacs's functionality. It's still the best editor I've ever found.
Yes, social media seems to exist to create outrage. But so much of it seems to be outrage for outrage's sake. Like other things it seems to have no resonant permanence. it seems to be manufactured for a purpose, then abandoned, or worse, endlessly recycled.

On the other hand, raising items of concern about some other things get enormous pushback (and quick down votes.) Things like-

Does the military really need 777 billion dollars? Why are health-care outcomes so disparate? Why is the US so far behind socially (workers rights, maternity leave, et al)? Why is the answer to another school shooting more guns? Why is building housing in my neighbourhood so hard? How is our life and lifestyle contributing to climate change? Why does climate change even matter?

In the US (and Europe etc) the comfortable middle class is so scared of change, any change at all, that they'll do anything to keep the status quo. And where there has been change there's a desire to rewind the political clock, to return to "happier times" (where, incidentally , wages were $10 a week, a detail lost in inflation discussions.)

Change is scary. Suggesting things could change for the better scares a lot of people who are confortable-enough. So yes, Expressing dissatisfaction with certain things which seem to strike at the heart of that comfortableness is thus not OK.

But clearly, since life is not perfect, we should create narratives explaining our current shortcomings. We need to blame -something- so better that we are presented with the issue (immigration! Gay people!) lest we start thinking for ourselves.

So yes, social media is all about dissatisfaction, but it all seems terribly shallow, self-serving, and, dare I say it, manufactured.
This is something I really wanted to build when I learned about TLA+ over a year ago. Taking the core idea into a modern language and toolings. Congratulations that you actually did it!

After three years of working from home, I was going stir-crazy. I was lucky enough to have a decent office... but still, stir-crazy.

I set up a second workstation in the living room. This was not super cheap - a "nice" chair/desk/monitor with decent ergonomics with passes partner acceptability testing is going to be tough to do for much less than $1-$2K.

Then my wife started working from home. The living room was no longer a viable place to work.

So this year I started turning the garage into a third office.... siiigh.

Still, if you earn a decent living from working from home, investing a few % of that salary back into your home office setup is generally one of the best investments you can make.

My LaserJet 5 (which I found on the curb when it was already old, and used for around a decade longer) also did the light-dimming pulse on each power-up.

Other than that, the only things I didn't like about it were: (1) didn't seem to have an idle mode, so I had to turn on the power switch every time I wanted to use it, and manually turn it off after; (2) I like my electronics black.

When a fan (which seemed hard to replace) failed completely, I decided to part out the LJ 5. I netted money on eBay for some of the easy-to-ship parts, so at least it lived on.

I wonder whether the lights-dimming was original behavior. I don't know power circuits, but naively wondering whether some component had gone out of spec (resulting in, say, it charging a capacitor more quickly than it was supposed to), and so the unit was drawing more than it should've from the wall for an instant.

Also, paraquat may actually be a safe chemical. However, there may be unsafe additives in the pesticide, as applied, that are causing serious problems.
Interfacing your phone to your car was always going to be a disaster.

Your car updates never and has the absolute cheapest hardware from 5 years ago that the manufacturer could possibly dig up from the trash.

Your phone updates continuously and generally has close to top of the line semiconductor technology in it.

Marrying these two is a disaster that anybody can predict.
Ostensibly they wouldn't. On the face that may seem like a problem but I think it's more of an opportunity. With real consequences on the table for investors corporate transparency becomes a critical component of any investment strategy. What might that incentivize?
Very nice. Love the glossary!

I’m guessing they really want to accelerate to be able to compete against OpenAI, which has billions to work with, thanks to Microsoft.
Yup. It’s also important to mention that OpenAI enjoys the luxury of having large clusters of H100s (the last time I checked).

To be clear, that code is only for offline verification. For live verification (akin to Matrix's emojis) Apple has you compare an 8 digit code.

So you'd open up Emacs, and the only thing you'd be able to do is insert and delete text? No "beginning-of-line", no "find-file"? That seems...even less newbie-friendly than Emacs currently is.

> Because everything I have ever seen is that iOS users almost all leave on autoupdate and the move to the latest version is the overwhelming majority, very rapidly.

Outside of the US, Android's market share dwarfs iOS's. And most people's Android phones are from vendors that stop providing updates, including security updates, after 2 years or so. There are hundreds of millions, if not billions, of vulnerable Android phones out there.

> Literally the entire point of this new feature is to create an observable effect of tampering.

Which, since most connections aren't tampered with, isn't actually observable in practice for most people. So the next time they meet someone new, they might not even bother asking them to do key verification.

It's always interesting seeing people like this online. I didn't start programming until I was 15, and didn't know how to deploy anything for real users until many years later. At 13, I don't think I knew how to do anything useful.
"If I get a rental car from Hertz or similar and then park illegally, nobody claims this means Hertz should get a ticket or be shut down. Why are scooters different?"

If people could rent cars for very short periods of time and 'return' them on the street, they most definitely would be re-parked illegally. We'd never allow a rental car company to use city streets as a parking lot for their inventory. And, yes, it would be the car company's liability.
it's odd that you say that without having seen the competitor. This is evidence of belonging to a cult or being afraid of better things. Of course it's possible that the new one is shit, but I think I'll make my own mind up.
Using typos to catch and fix typos
It's unfortunately accurate that a lot of roles and people in those roles are indeed purely bullet-point driven for their resumes. If you're entering a role at a mid-level or junior, you're likely stuck with their tech stack choices. At senior or higher, it's usually about delivering results and the tech stack is up to you.

I've never paid much attention to specific job requirements, just whether or not I could solve the problems they were looking to solve.
I have a Roland LX708 [1] that gets a lot of this right, like sympathetic resonance, and all the other artefacts of a real piano. It’s pretty damn good and it’s clear that modelling has come a long way, but still not as ‘rich’ as a real piano.

I wonder what the last mile is or whether acoustic modeling will always be stuck in a kind of ‘uncanny valley for sound’.

I'm in school full time, so no. The problem isn't that managers need to be able to check on employees, it's that everyone needs to be able to interact with one another face-to-face to optimally work, and when they can't, it's the people who manage them that actively suffer.

Maybe the tech will catch up to that, but it currently doesn't.

I agree that cars and trucks are appropriate for a variety of trips and cargo-hauling use cases that scooters are not appropriate for. But I confess I'm missing the implication - what does this imply about the claim that micromobility is held to a standard we don't typically hold other transportation modes to, in part because we have a default cars-first perspective?
