Oh interesting. I was looking for something like this about eight years ago when we were breaking off from our previous owners into a 30 person company
Everything I've seen from Musk makes me believe that he wants to win, on his terms, full stop. The undermining of public will to invest in public transportation is real. A functioning subway and rail system in LA would dramatically cut down on the number of cars on the roads, which would be reflected in fewer cars sold. This fairly straightforward and logical: Musk loses if there are more trains built.

He also didn't try to build something better; he floated an idea for something worse. Transportation doesn't need some "new technology" to solve the problems of moving people around; trains have existed for a very long time now.
Chief Justice Brian D. Boatright, in his dissent, wrote that the "absence of an insurrection-related conviction" against Trump should have called for the case to be dismissed.

Looks like a kangaroo court to me.
In some countries, NAT was implemented at the ISP level and you had no public IP at all. I remember it being a consistent practical barrier back in the 90s for stuff like file transfers. I had a public IP but the other person didn't and had no way of getting one or setting up port forwarding. Back when file transfers were often done with direct connection.
To be fair, historically it is our social norms that are more of an aberration.

Allowing a couple to get divorced simply because both want to didn't become universal in the USA until about a decade ago. Laws treating the rape of a wife as a crime against her husband were common in the 1960s. Laws prohibiting doctors from helping married couples have access to birth control lasted into the 1960s.

All of these were based on the idea that marriage was an institution ensuring the continuity of future generations to the family and society. Because the broader family and society had a vested interest in the results of the marriage, the people involved had a responsibility to those around them. This was a widely accepted social norm just a few decades ago.
Storing minors biometric data forever is pretty clearly evil. There really shouldn't be a debate here. Yet some businesses are out there monetizing evil.
At 16, I had a 24 hour BBS running in my bedroom.
Just curious, but was it an US prison ?
I have trouble seeing them allowing the prisoners to play game.
Also, how are the prisoners supposed to make money to pay for the game ?

Thanks in advance.

Posting NYT article isn't credible ... anymore.
When I was 16 it took me a while to realise a "server" is just a loud PC with a weird shape that isn't optimised for use in the home. PCs cases are easier to work in and can fit larger (quieter) fans. Rack mount is good for networking equipment once you get above an 8 port switch, though.
> 100 Million refugees heading to Europe is really going to change things there. It's doubtful their societies can withstand it

I don't get where this fear comes from (other than right wing propaganda, not judging). Sure there are, sometimes visible, issues specific to migration but there are also lot of solutions. And in bare numbers europe just got a saver place every year and criminality is not out of control anywhere, in fact getting lower in nearly every category year for year where I live.

Europe always had huge migration waves from many directions, and only those heavily publicised by media appeared to be a issue at all.

Just my 5 cent. However I welcome anyone in search of a better life, even temporarily
It is a bug. Will be fixed soon.
It is, of course, intentionally satire, with a "maybe it's actually true?" cog-sci perspective. I found this piece very funny and charming.
NAT was/is a great for blocking incoming connections by default. A lesson I learnt when I found in early Windows XP days that my files are gone and a .txt note was left on my C: disk...

I’m not. I’m treating them as a decision maker who won’t negotiate. Which they are. That leaves few options for a quick resolution outside military ones.

Compared to the guy defending the Nazis, yes.

Stuff of kangaroo court.
He's done a lot of bad things? Things that are bad for the public? In a very public way? Feels like the sort of thing that a series of articles was invented exactly to address.
How are you using AI and how can one create music like in this video?
The new start menu stuff is absolute garbage and somehow gets worse all the time.

I'm not sure how searching a list of a few thousand things can just not return the software you specify by name, but it does.
Is it farfetched though?

What is more farfetches: 1) trying to derail a project that might hurt your interests 2) getting into an argument with some cave divers that are trying to rescue some kids and call them pedophiles 3) jeopardizing everyone's safety by testing experimental tech on the public roads. I could go on

1) seems perfectly reasonable to me and it's not unique to Musk. Happens all the time.
This is rock solid. I keep a plaintext file with all my daily notes in it, but still find myself formatting code before/after dropping it in. The formatting feature alone is a draw here. The math part is great as well - I use a REPL all the time just to do napkin math.
On Robert Solow: The last MIT economist of his generation
A cult of UFO true believers within the Pentagon connected with Skinwalker Ranch have been blowing smoke up the asses of credulous people like Harry Reid and David Grusch in order to divert resources and money to their spook-hunting grift.

Meanwhile the media pushes the surface-level narrative that "the US government admits extraterrestrial craft are real" (which they never actually ever did) rather than bothering to actually do investigative journalism, because that's what gets clicks.

And as far as UAPs go, they are certain to be cutting edge, classified but purely terrestrial craft, probably drones, which don't actually violate the laws of physics.
I reignited a passion for my car with a few suspension upgrades and maintenance; it turns 20 and is on the way to 25.

Ai is really neat for summarizing, used it most for pre Dr visit diagnosis - less likely than WebMD to feel like you have a severe disease.

Had some quality time with my dad with a fishing trip and car projects, now maybe some house projects.
Running linux mint on 4th generation i5 with 4GB RAM worked ok but 8GB was really more comfortable (as in never worry about RAM no more) and you can easily get some for cheap so it's definitely a quick easy win.

But the dramatic speed difference ? HDD to SSD. That one upgrade allowed to be a dev on that old machine for three more years, until the motherboard died last year, RIP. I got almost 10 years out of that hardware with two cheap and easy upgrades. Nice.

On the other hand I don't recommend hardware older that 2013 as you get in performances that are really not comfortable or capped upgrade :

That one Late 2007 Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook was usable but Linux was a pain to install on, RAM was capped at 4GB and it was not comfortable performance wise. Cheaper hardware for the same era is barely usable for casual tasks.

Another thing I didn't mention with the 4th generation i5 laptop is that the plastics are always the first thing that break and it's a bit of a pain to have to replace it although it's cheap. Went with Framework 12th generation now and I am definitely intending to keep 10 years too. It feels much more sturdy, it's very nice. You just need a nice physical shell with upgradeable parts imho.

Why Flying Sucks–and What to Do About It
I wrote an article the other day on how beneficial ownership makes this situation worse: https://omarabid.com/beneficial-ownership

As ships can't be anonymous (both on ownership and journey), this reduce the intelligence work to 0 by "hostile" entities. This would not have been possible if privacy was the default as their options will be reduced to a full blockade.
It doesn't work for everything, but many banks will have a website you can use just fine from the phone's browser. If you're trying to do full payments with the phone that won't work of course, but if you get a physical credit card/debit card you can (usually) do everything else with the mobile site. This is what I do for my Graphene OS phone
> I would love the ability to create multiple cursors from a selection (within a block of course)

Ctrl-D (CMD-D on Mac) does this (currently not limited to the current block though, but that is something I'd like to change).

> Also it would be awesome to have some metadata on each block that is toggle-able (or just inserts as text) so I can have the current date/time added or shown.

Yeah, I've been thinking of adding timestamp (of last edit) as metadata for each block
I think that, in general, speed is much less important for the transport of goods. You care little if your purchase has to travel at snail speed for 24 hours straight, yet that would be unacceptable for yourself. Not to mention the fact that goods travel one way, humans generally travel both ways (so travel times also need to be multiplied by 2).
I did this with 24GB VRAM and 32GB DDR5, using LM Studio, and it was about as fast as I could read. (I read fast but I'd have to run it again to guess the token rate.)

I'm upgrading to 96GB RAM now to run the larger models, but I do wonder whether it'll be slow when using proportionally less VRAM.

Topaz Labs software
Show HN: VLLM with JSON Guided Generation
Our project, Outlines, now offers guided/constrained generation (e.g. according to a JSON schema) via the VLLM library.

My colleague, Rémi, created some patches that allow one to pass vLLM a JSON schema along with the prompt, which dramatically simplifies deployment of JSON-guided generation. He also added a new `serve` interface that puts it all together and makes serving such models a 2-3 line process.

Check it out and tell us what you think!
They exist. Have had a few in my circles here in the Midwest, especially since he went hard right. You can find them on YouTube and Reddit and FB.

It's amazing how often finding the obvious cause of a problem only mitigates it, and you end up having to solve it 2 or 3 more times in the following weeks.

In this case, there were NUMEROUS suboptimal or misconfigurations of DNS but none of them mattered until the volume reached a tipping point, and, suddenly, ALL of them came into play. Fixing one overflowed into the next, which overflowed into the next.

Why the U.S. steel industry is dying: It's not because of foreign competition
As I understand it, the concept allows for smaller vehicles with frequent departures and arrivals. It makes some sense to send shipments of packages between delivery hubs often rather than waiting to fill a whole train enough to make it economical, while not being subject to a vehicle propelled by pressure in the tube.

I can't say whether it would be effective (or even beneficial enough to justify the construction cost) but it sounds more plausible than high speed mass transit for passengers.
Yeah, I was hoping the `clap` macros would perform some unthinkable magic there... I will have to update the help with a listing.

In the mean time, have a look here[1] for the possible values.

I would argue this has nothing to do with free speech. Substack is a media company. They are not a utility where cutting a person off would take away any governmental rights to speech. They don't allow sexual content so they are not proponents of free speech at all costs.

They've chosen to allow alternative (racist) views, which cause quite a lot of harm, over female nipples, which causes very little harm. It's a very weak argument on their side.

Just be little Rupert Murdochs and say you want a private jet and you don't care how you get it.
Thanks for the Skylake information.

> Install Linux you mean.

I'll preface this by saying I should have mentioned it's an Nvidia Optimus equipped laptop, a Dell Inspiron i5 7559 and that I've been running Linux to some capacity or another on a variety of hardware for nearly two decades now and will probably never stop using it, so believe me I'm aware that trying Linux on otherwise landfilled hardware is always worth a consideration.

So no, I don't mean 'Install linux'. Until about 6 months ago I was running Fedora on it (historically Slackware and Kubuntu).

Nvidia Optimus is garbage and I refuse to put up with it any longer. Whether it was an Ubuntu derivative with its own means for handling this or not I've found that Nvidia Optimus under Linux is a recipe for tearing, poor battery life, lots of heat when doing seemingly nothing and frequently fighting Nvidia drivers failing to work when I update the kernel.

This laptop does not give you the ability to disable the Intel GPU and use just the nvidia GPU, so the only option that makes the laptop decently usable is to just not install nvidia drivers at all and use only the Intel GPU, but even then it was never stable enough to live with day to day. It didn't matter what distro I ran, it just randomly would freeze without any useful information in the logs as to why. I realize this is Nvidia's fault more than anyone else's but I just don't have the energy to fight it anymore, particularly because it was 100% trouble free anytime Windows 10 was running.

Once Windows 10 goes fully EOL I am either recycling this laptop or giving it away, it can be somebody else's problem. The replacement laptop will either be straight Intel or AMD, I'm done with Nvidia.

A happier story is the Asus U43F. I believe it was a first gen Core i5; it had a bios bug in it that prevented installing Windows 10, it was stuck on 7, didn't have any EFI support. Asus and Microsoft both refused to do anything about it so it was completely abandoned. I installed a linux distro on it and my niece used it during the pandemic when they were forced to do school from home. It worked out great. I got it back later and sold it to somebody who understood they needed to run Linux on it and as far as I know to this day it still works just fine.
Hey, this looks real promising.
Are you(or anybody) using the Obsidian iOS mobile app with git for sync/versioning? Is that possible?
It is not 'balderdash', it is a reference to Scott's longstanding interest in Karl Friston & predictive processing paradigms in neuroscience & psychiatry. If you don't get the allusions, that's your problem, not his.

Much of the arms are smuggled in from Iran. The Iranians use the Houthis as proxies to harass their enemies in Saudi Arabia and Israel. Several arms shipments have been intercepted in recent years but others are getting thought; it's impossible to stop and search every vessel in such a busy shipping channel.
How is this relevant?

Apple doesn’t charge for iMessage. It is a service offered strictly to users of Apple devices.
I've read about the chromium stuff. This is why 1) alternatives are important and why I switched to Firefox this year and 2) why being open source is important for competitors to fork and avoid this BS.

>certain cables being unable to display movies, etc.

HDCP was indeed a mistake. A very flimsy one at that. There's so many ways to display content that trying to block it on some specific kind of cable protocol is silly. It just makes people think the device is broken.
Chrome: Permanent Safety Checks, Tab Groups syncing and Memory info rolling out

SV's ideas have probably done more to worsen the hellscape of car-dependent cities. Think of how many single-occupancy cars are on the road right now simply delivering someone's lunch. Robo-taxies don't eliminate cars, only the driver. Now that your car drives itself you don't mind the extra 20 minute commute if you can use that time to churn through emails.
How to uncover your users' real problems
Both the Clara and Swan were supposedly refusing to answer hails:

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/ukmto-ambrey-repor...

Houthi spokesperson Yahya Sarea identified the vessels as the MSC Clara and Norwegian-owned Swan Atlantic, and said the attacks were carried out after their crews failed to respond to calls from the group.

There's no mystery here. Nobody anywhere is wondering just what hijinks these groups are going to get up to next. They aren't rednecks getting drunk and shooting off for giggles.

If they suspect a ship is headed to Israel, they attack it, with military equipment they (most likely) got from Iran.
You’re still missing the point. Why can’t they build a Chromebook with the same internals as the Lenovo laptop I posted? That would be 1000 times faster than the Chromebook I picked up.
4, if you count his early influence and, I believe, founding of OpenAI. Albeit, he was not instrumental in the OpenAI as we know it today, but he set it in motion by hiring Sam Altman as the CEO, among other things.
I've recently started migrating from using Sublime Text to Notes for these scenarios too. I downloaded Heynote and am struggling to understand how/where it's better than either of those apps. Clearly I'm missing something, based on the other comments here.
Yeah, large file sizes and some RAM overhead is a drawback that comes with Electron apps.

However, it would never have been possible for me to make Heynote for all of Mac, Windows and Linux, on my spare time and within a reasonable timeframe, without Electron.

Also, the CPU usage overhead for Heynote is minimal. It's one of the apps I use the most, and it's never among the programs that have used the most CPU. Yes, 200+ MB of RAM seems quite excessive in theory, but in practice it's less than 1% of the total RAM memory of my laptop (24 GB).
how could you see it in a mirror?

and i had bad ankle break a year or so ago, and needed lots of external meccano to stabilise it. it wasn't fun, and very inconvenient, but not too painful or scary.
>The cursor keys being on the home row is just because it happened to be that way on the terminal where vi was invented. We have long since standardized on separate cursor keys, which are more intuitive.

Intuitive and convenient are two orthogonal things, I bet that the creators of that terminal put the cursor keys simply because it's convenient to have them on a home row, unlike the creators of the IBM PC keyboard who valued intuitiveness more. I don't see how the ergonomics of typing is outdated.

Besides, after all these years HJKL is a common convention already, and can be even more intuitive for many people (not just programmers, but also e.g. roguelike players who usually have the diagonal movement keys around HJKL as well).

But that's a bit of a red herring since vi's command language makes the entire single-character cursor movement "outdated" in a sense. The abbreviated commands are highly composable and let you navigate and edit any structured text with the speed of thought. That is the actual value of vi.
Per how many people transported and how does that compare with similarly dense and similarly geographically large systems? Paris’ RATP and NY’s MTA likely put up similar numbers. That doesn’t mean that it’s full of criminals when the likelihood that you personally will experience an issue is low.

In countries without social insurance people have children so the child will take care of them in their old age.

OK. In your assessment it's not a good thing to build. Evidently the rest of the world agrees.

Again, that is perfectly fine and someone putting an idea out there that doesn't work should not result in attacks and name calling. It's just petty high school garbage that doesn't help anything, and in fact hinders future discussions about important topics.

>Nvidia Optimus is garbage and I refuse to put up with it any longer.

I heard PopOS works with Optimus out of the box, but I'm still gonna get a laptop with an AMD APU as I don't want the headaches of discrete GPUs and MUXs, plus I don't game too much anyway.

If a lot of games can run on the Steam Deck, then they can definitely run on laptops with similar or better AMD APUs, no need for discrete GPUs anymore unless you're a proper gamer, but for casual and retro gaming it should be good enough.
For those wanting to nitpick this or that point from the article:

A title like that should set the expectation that it’s not _entirely_ serious and there might, just maybe, be a joke or two buried within.
this is great and neat
To me one of the exciting aspects of HTML is that we can theme the same article in different ways, tailored to individual preferences - just swap in a different CSS file.

Having a two-column theme, or left-aligned vs justified themes, could be workable in the long run. I hope that we get to see some browser extensions modding the pages before too long.

The reason for the current justified text is that it is the default aesthetic for a LaTeX-based article, and a lot of authors expect it.
I feel you. On all my older laptops, the physical shell (around hinges specifically) is always what has died first.

Decided I would only go with a metal case after my old laptop's mobo died. Hesitated between a M1 and Framework but went with the Framework. It's sturdy and contrary to the M1, I'll be able to upgrade it (I could already if I wanted to actually). Maybe not the best performance per buck on the market but hey it's plenty enough, even for a dev, even for some gaming.
