Yeah, that's not true at all. The NLRB, like all agencies, was created by act of congress and given a remit to regulate areas of civic life within a specific range of factors. A complainant can try to argue that a specific regulation is outside their remit or otherwise in contravention to other Constitutional protections, but they can't just say the agency has no right to make rules. There's a gigantic stack of precedent that Congress or the courts can rein in specific rules, but so long as they within the bounds set in their charter, they are absolutely allowed to make new rules with the force of law (ie can the EPA regulate carbon emissions as "pollution"). It's just standard bureaucracy since it would be utterly impossible to put every single minute regulation up for Congressional debate. Especially when they require niche technical expertise to even understand.
Yep, there is a very deep contentment with knowing whatever happens, you're safe. I started my career in 2008. I used to think of my money in terms of what I could buy for life. First it was food, then rent, and later all my expenses. Financial independence was the best thing I ever 'bought' for myself.
> Does this give Red Hat the right to effectively "close source" the code for RHEL despite contributions from the rest of the community?

Legally, yes. Not sure what the point is you're trying to make.

I'm not sure why anyone would want to use a downstream distribution of Red Hat if they don't like Red Hat's trajectory. If you don't like Red Hat's current objectives with RHEL, it should be as simple as: stop using something downstream of RHEL.
I bet it's big enough that it could also contain an SD card reader, which could be really useful
I use one. I don't think that it would be a good substitute for this use case. You can try and do steno on your phone with Dotterel but it's not a good experience - you're better off using a swiping keyboard. I've not used a T9 system in my life, but I can imagine that it's a system that would let you input anything just typing with your thumbs. To have a good time doing steno, you have to exercise all of your fingers on both your hands. That's not quite so nice on your phone.
The difference, IMO, is that Bandit is constructively wacky. He's generally competent, unlike other shows where only the mother is competent.

because having CentOS lead to Oracle Linux being a thing which allowed big competitor to offer what was essentially 100% compatible product to your own while undercutting your support costs.

I don't think RHEL/IBM cares about the small losses on CentOS/Rocky/Alma/etc what they found was hurting them was companies like Oracle
I too wonder. The App Store version did ask for keychain access for the biometric data, while the non-app store version did not (and never asked for that, to my knowledge).
Some time ago I took a sudoku app and added some features that I wanted. It was a great learning experience, my code introduced some bugs and it's not perfect but the whole thing felt really good.

It has some advantage, The games are growing with the community, improving on what the players are doing with it. And the company is usually making more money long term, as the constant improvement creates more attention and satisfied customers who will spread the message. I think to some degree this is also mirroring what the players often are doing unofficially with mods. Among Us, bus also Minecraft is very guilty of this.

> And yet, they overdeliver compared to everyone else.

Which means they could publicly promise to do better than everyone else and still meet those promises.

So promising things that are unrealistic (ie Level 5 FSD 5 years ago) is an unforced error, an own-goal that could be avoided but they have chosen not to avoid this over and over.
Different scale, different problem. Those "top engineers" at Google are dealing with memory that won't even fit in a hard drive (let alone memory), so stuff like this may as well be pico-optimizations.

The logic makes sense for them. The problem is everyone else copying Google without understanding their own data. Any domain where real time performance is important need to put aside the SWE books and pick up a CPU/GPU architecture reference instead.
> The project requires that those being filmed are minors, and specifically between 13 and 17 years old. [...] During the call, the child will also need to show a form of identification, such as a state ID card, passport, or driving license if available.

Disgusting. Pretty sure this is not (only) to train AI but to populate a facial recognition database to ensure that these individuals will always be trackable by Google with the only opt-out being extensive surgery.
A portion of that argument is probably rooted in a very good intention: the Gini coefficient is far too high right now. One good way go reduce the Gini coefficient is to reduce the praise for roles like CEO, manager, physician, etc and reclaim more respect the technicians of the world.

University doesn't really connect anyone with "remarkable" people, but if you come from a rural or low populated area, it does help to let you interact with a more diverse (many professions and ideas) set of people.

You're correct that universities don't really have high IQ people (even the grad students, PIs, and professors likely do not have a high IQ these days), but the incentive structure isn't there anymore to allow for this. The publish-or-perish paradigm has basically annihilated the incentive structure for intelligence and now the focus is much more on 'doing' (without much thought). It's pretty simple to see that when looking at the choices in grad students and faculty at places like Harvard, MIT, Stanford, etc. They're not chosen for drive for novelty, or their cleverness, they're chosen for tirelessly working towards very incremental adjustments to ideas that are then marketed as highly impactful and novel - but the biggest determining factor here is being a "hard worker", not intelligence.

Hey! Author here. Felt this one in particular needed a reply.

I've since actually gotten a bit into alpinism and done a proper course. My instructor (a super experienced British guy in the Alps) refused to teach self-arrests to beginners because he said the risks were greater than the potential benefits. He said a lot of people get hurt practicing it (as you've noted) and so he preferred to really drill down on precautions and crevasse rescue techniques etc.

As for the story, I need to note the slope wasn't too steep, but being unable to brake would maybe have sent me down the crevasse (unclear how wide it was, we stepped over it on the way there and it seemed it may have been narrow). I also doubt my technique was perfect, but I just remembered to not just try to have the axe over my head somewhere but rather push my body/shoulder into it with the axe placed more diagonally.

I'm certain it was not beautiful nor perfect but at least enough in that situation.
Yes, but they wear slower since more energy is captured instead of wearing the rotors and pads.
This is a beautiful blog, the same as the minimalistic app. Huge congrats. I'm seeing myself building this, as the joy it returns by using an app built by yourself. I have feelings similar to those expressed in the article using vim-motions or generally Neovim. It's so simple that even it works in a terminal. But once mastered (at least the basics), I feel like a surgeon when operating, as I edit text so fine-grained and exact.
>I believe that AlmaLinux's approach is in-line with Red Hat's vision for downstream OS-es.

As far as I can tell this is logically incorrect CentOS/Alma are upstream not downstream and red hat's vision of downstream OSes is they don't exist because that takes a nickel out of IBM's pocket.
Fully swappable batteries seems untenable for a number of reasons.

a) It seems unlikely that you can standardize the battery form factor between different models. You'll still have a handful of different standards between small, full size, and truck/suvs, and semi truck forms. It's been hard enough getting manufacturers to standardize on a single charging port. Battery form standardization would be another order of magnitude hard.

b) Even if you somehow manage to do it, you're forever stuck on that form. Limits the experimentation and flexibility you have to develop for new use cases. Upgrading battery tech, like Tesla's switch to the bigger and more efficient 4680 in the cybertruck, would also get added friction since it wouldn't be compatible with older standards.

c) Tesla at least is starting to turn the battery pack into a structural element to reduce mass. Unlikely you can do this and be swappable at the same time.
If I'm not running a desktop, why would I consider running Ubuntu at all? I feel the same about people offering a kneejerk suggestion of Ubuntu as when I'm told to use Docker without actually knowing anything about my needs. Just because I'm wanting to use Linux does not mean I need Ubuntu. Just because I'm deploying code doesn't mean Docker is the solution. But 99% of the time I talk to people, it's all Docker this Docker that.
Such error handling is easier, because it’s a normal part of the flow, rather than a separate path that’s not tested. If submitting fails to load the page, you get the normal browser error page and reload, submitting it again. And that’s what you want it to be, unless you can actively do something else in the meantime (which is still a good deal more complex and not typically supported by web apps). By contrast, my experience says that scripting-based submission is very flimsy in the presence of unreliable network. It’s crazy just how many things enter broken, unrecoverable states because it didn’t occur to the authors that maybe that fetch could fail, and maybe you might want to try again. Or worse, and practically never handled properly, when network conditions lead to a stuck request, where the client is waiting for something that will never come. In the browser, you just press F5/Ctrl+R/⌘R when you recognise this situation, but when scripting-powered the only way of fixing this may be briefly toggling the network adapter in order to kill the request (because you can’t just reload the page because you’d lose in-page form state, another of these things that the browser gives you for free but scripting plays havoc with, though Firefox is best at compensating), and hoping that leads the page to let you submit again.

Seriously, scripting-based submission, navigation, &c. is reimplementing a lot of what the browser give you for free, and it can’t be done perfectly (e.g. tab loading indicator) and what is reimplemented is absolutely never as flawless as possible. Yes, you get some interesting advantages, but you lose a lot too, more than developers tend to admit.
Don't fall for the apocalyptic doomsday narrative. It is in the interests /of/ the 900 lb gorillas in the space to make it seem like it requires so much investment that you may as well not bother.

But there's a thriving community on HuggingFace and Reddit showing what you can do with the lo-fi versions. In particular, the evolution of lower bit inference (and I believe training as well even) has reduced memory requirements and because of that hardware requirements considerably. There is a lot you can do with your own local gen AI model running on your personal machine.
The RSS feed sits on the side of screen or appears on hover. It is like a summary of headlines of what is going on in your inbox. I guess it depends on your use case if you reach inbox zero daily. Unfortunately, I don't go to inbox zero these days as much as I'd like, and have so many emails I am CC'd on or back-and-forth conversations I am monitoring, this way I can know something came back and a short summary of it, without having to go into the inbox to find out what is going on (especially b/c I am not responding, as someone else on the team would be handling it).

The political power associated with having tens of billions of dollars is what ends up becoming the reinforcing structural problem with the economy.

Accumulated capital is a type of artificial intelligence. Its goal is to defend its existence and accumulate more. When it accumulates more, it needs to defend itself more. This means tax laws and interpretations that benefit a very certain type of citizen. It means international treaties that allow the movement of capital when the local laws become inconvenient. It means business regulations that protects investor instead of consumer interests.

If you let this go on for a certain amount of time, the structure of the economy starts to make no sense to the vast majority of the participants.

It’s certainly use case specific. In my case, less is more. A fairly heavily-curated collection of photos is more valuable to me than a data dump that may preserve some diamond in the rough that future tech may do something interesting with.

Photos of a historically interesting event? Sure. But for old family pics I’m happy to have hundreds of curated photos of mostly people and call it a day.
I got 62 then tried again and got 63. Seems to be about where I'm at for programming stuff. I will say that the style of code is slightly different than my own coding style which seemed to also hamper me a bit.
They also add btrfs and a bunch of drivers back into their custom kernel that RHEL explicitly removes, so it runs on a lot more hardware.

> the scam was set up in a very sophisticated way

What I don't understand is... where the hell are the police on this stuff? Checking account fraud is ridiculously easy to pull off - if you know an account number, you can steal an arbitrary amount of money from a checking account. Why isn't it more common? Because the U.S. treasury department comes down like the wrath of God on people they catch doing it. Of course scammers are trying to set up scams and take advantage of people in various clever ways. We're _supposed_ to have police who make things very, very unpleasant for the people who do so, but as far as I can tell, they don't even care.

The ability to go low/no-dependencies, as mentioned in the blog post, is one of my favorite things about Apple platforms. It’s not just possible but practical to build a capable, highly polished app without bringing in anything third-party thanks to the richness and depth of AppKit/UIKit. Few frameworks can compete, with even other juggernauts like Qt coming up short in comparison.

i have actually looked into this at the time, but i could not figure out how to make it work with the frontend framework i was using. and i didn't find any more extensive tutorials either. it probably takes more familiarity with amber than i was able to get to make it work.

a tutorial to use amber with react or svelte for example would be great. (i don't work with either, but given that they are a,mong the most popular frameworks for the time being, it has the most likelihood at capturing some interest.)

How Was your year in 2023 for your SaaS
I launched Localy.ai 7 months ago. Initially, my product wasn't working well; everyone was saying it's a ChatGPT wrapper. I only got 5 free users for the first 2 months. Later, I added more features such as image generation and voice-over capabilities. I increased the free trial limit to 5000 words and reduced the pricing to just $5.

Afterward, I began promoting it in various communities like Indie Hackers. Additionally, I listed my product on different tool listing sites such as SaaSHub, G2, and others. Gradually, I started receiving traffic. Now, I have 200+ free trial users and 3 paid users. I will continue working on this tool, hopefully generating more results as I intended. Thank you, everyone!
Great reply! Got nothing to add, I agree with everything.

Indeed. Most games seem to be targeted at folks who have all the time in the world and play games daily. If I'm very lucky I get a few hours on the weekend and maybe an hour or two during the week.

You can also do this at a household level. It is called heat recovery drain pipe, basically a heat exchanger that replaces a vertical section of drain pipe. The wastewater heat is used to pre-warm the fresh water going to the water heater. Water falling down a vertical pipe tends to spread out and cling to the inner surface, giving you more surface area for heat transfer.

Last time I priced this system out the installed cost was going to be about $1000, at that price point the payback time is pretty long for a single family home but much better for an apartment building.
