While I do like pipx, and am a diehard Python fan, if the interpreter used to install the project changes, I still have to reinstall the project, which is annoying.

I suppose I could get around that by installing a Python interpreter outside of brew, and only use that for packages.

You can buy a lot of cloud compute instead of that extra memory though. (I haven't done the math myself, but I'd be curious if anyone has).
If you run into the problem again try the website of the Polish trains pkp.pl. You'll probably have to Google translate some stuff but it works well.

This is partly to do with the fact that the UK was never part of the Schengen group of countries (i.e. countries where you can travel from one to the other without a passport), even when it was part of the EU.

It's a bit misleading to claim: "The dense parts of Europe have 500k+ cities basically overlapping.", while pretending that Chicago doesn't have 6M+ additional people in its immediate suburbs who would also be able to use this hypothetical train. The US and EU structure administrative units a bit differently, so using the Urban or Metro populations for both is a better metric for population served.

I agree that Europe is more densly populated than US, so there would be longer stretches without a stop in the US. But that's OK - the long-distance trains in the EU don't stop at every station along the way anyway, it would just be a different structure of "locals" and "through trains" to service the poulations.

I disagree however that population density is even all that relevant. All the cities in the US that I've mentioned have rail through them already. It's used profitably for freight all the time. I think the US doesn't have good passenger rail service because of a heck of a lot of other factors - subsidies favoring cars and planes over rail for transit, infrastructure having been created around getting everyone an automobile, a huge amount of FUD from various lobbies against rail (including arguments about population density), and a dozen others probably have more actual impact than "people per square mile is different on average".

First, holy crap!

Second, #3 is always a red flag for me. It is sometimes code for "we can do this in the lab but we have no idea how one would manufacture it." A similar analogy is "we've got this great idea for a program you can license but no one here knows how to actually code it up."

Third, the impact of this going mainstream would be hard to underestimate. All those people working on transparent displays like they do in sci-fi movies? Yup they could do that. A video conference system with solid eye contact (mentioned in a couple of places) sure you could do that too. A mirror that could show you wearing different clothes? Yup I could see how that would be coded.

That #3 though. That is what tempers my enthusiasm. Did I miss any announcement that they had a display at CES? (or was it just an announcement) If the former I would seriously consider flying over to Vegas to check this out.

Autocomplete: Characters per Opportunity and Percentage Code Written
We introduce two metrics, Characters per Opportunity (CPO) and Percentage Code Written (PCW). We believe CPO should be the definitive metric to benchmark different AI code assistant autocomplete capabilities and quality. This metric, unlike Acceptance Rate, is not susceptible to gameable confounding factors and is correlated with real tool value, so a higher CPO does mean a better product in terms of real value. We believe PCW should be the definitive metric to assess the value driven by a code assistant to the end developer, as it is a measure of the actual result of using the code assistant and is a relative metric that takes into account the fact that different developers code for different amounts of time to begin with. These metrics are related conceptually, but are not mathematically related in practice, as will be discussed. We make development decisions for Codeium based on CPO, and we currently have a CPO of 1.27, while we currently have a PCW of 44.6%, which means that 44.6% of new code being committed by developers using Codeium are actually from Codeium.
They never thought of infinite multiverses with random variations in each, and survivor bias.
When I was at a firm, my clients included a number of restaurants ranging from the high-end to the decidedly low-end (i.e., fast food), including a number of major restaurant chains HQ'd in the SoCal area. I can guarantee that I know more about restaurant finances than anyone on this thread other than an actual restaurant owner, because for years it was my job to know this stuff.

But anyways: the number one operational cost that kills restaurants is leasing costs, not supplies or employee wages, because those latter costs can be managed based on the amount of business, time of year, etc.

And the truth about "high quality" versus "low quality" ingredients is that at the restaurant scale, the price difference isn't that large; excepting meat, it can be as low as 10% (and in some cases, at least in SoCal it can be cheaper to buy organic produce than nonorganic). I' still close friends with a number of food purchasers and suppliers in the SoCal area, and you would be absolutely shocked at how little restaurants have to pay for their produce and fish. Consequently, their isn't much of an incentive for a restaurant to use the lowest-quality ingredients because their isn't a significant cost savings but there is a huge risk associated with using lower-quality ingredients. (However, the calculus is different for food manufacturers, who sell their products at wholesale prices and so have significantly smaller potential margins.)

Cool. It's more or less what I did for my senior project back in the late 90s. I think the 68k is the perfect choice for something like this due to the simplicity and much more reasonable performance compared to, say, a 6502 based design.
It works on embeddings, which are concepts. So it would at least be manipulating a similarly weighted network of concepts, though much shallower. It would be an answer from his literal domain of discourse. It would be evocative rather than authoritative.
A plane flies faster so you can amortize the cost over more flights. A plane only requires 2 airports, which can be used as a starting point to connect with any other airport again amortizing the cost over many flights. For trains you need rail all the way, which is not flexible and costs a lot.

Then the planes don't pay their full cost as they emit a lot of CO2 but aviation fuel is not taxed so you get planes that already have quite a lot of structural advantages getting even cheaper.

Budget airlines are probably also run a lot more efficiently than most train systems

MD5 is already not "fine" or "safe, even" against malicious actors who might pre-prepare collisions, or pre-seed their documents with the special constructs that make MD5 manipulable to collision-attacks.

Even if your extrapolative method was sound, you've already got several factors wrong. The best SHA256 Bitcoin miners are today more than twice your estimate in hashrate, and on plain CPUs SHA256 is more like 4x slower than MD5. (Your smaller estimate of MD5's speed advantage is likely derived from benchmarks where there's special hardware support for SHA256, but not MD5, as common in modern processors.)

But it's also categorically wrong to think the CPU ratio is a good guide to how hardware optimizations would fare for MD5. The leading Bitcoin miners already use a (patented!) extra 'ASICBoost' optimization to eke out extra parallelized SHA256 tests, for that use-case, based on the internals of the algorithm. As a smaller, simpler algorithm – also with various extra weaknesses! – there's no telling how many times faster dedicated MD5 hardware, either for generically calculating hashes or with special adaptations for collision-search – might run, with similar at-the-gates, on-the-die cleverness.

Further, attacks only get better & theory breakthroughs continue. Since MD5 is already discredited amongst academics & serious-value-at-risk applications – and has been since 1994, when expert cryptographers began recommending against its use in new work – there's not much above-ground scholarly/commercial activity refining attacks further. The glory & gold has mostly moved elsewhere.

But taking solace in the illusory lack-of-attacks from that situation is foolhardy, as is pronouncing, without reasoning, that it's "probably decades or more" before second-preimage attacks are practical. Many thought that with regard to collision attacks versus SHA1 – but then the 1st collision arrived in 2017 & now they're cheap.

You can't linear-extrapolate the lifetime of a failed, long-disrecommended cryptographic hash that's already failed in numerous of its original design goals. Like a bridge built with faulty math or tainted steel, it might collapse tomorrow, or 20 years from now. Groups in secret may already have practical attacks – this sort of info has large private value! – waiting for the right time to exploit, or currently only exploiting in ways that don't reveal their private capability.

You are right that there's no present 'crisis'. But it could arrive tomorrow, causing a chaotic mad-dash to fix, putting all sorts of legal cases/convictions/judgements in doubt. Evidentiary systems should be providing robust authentication/provenance continuity across decades, as that's how long cases continue, or even centuries, for related historical/policy/law issues to play out.

Good engineers won't wait for a crisis to fix a longstanding fragility in socially-important systems, or deploy motivated-reasoning wishful-thinking napkin-estimates to rationalize indefinite inaction.
I think that at the end of the day, every rationalization of an afterlife is personal - people believe humans get an afterlife so they can assure themselves of life after death.

1. Sorry for the disappointment! SEO articles and high-quality thought pieces can coexist on a website - they have different purposes. The /blog slug is indeed a bit misleading, but that's what I started using initially, many years ago, and it's not even advertised on the website, so people should not end up on it. My point is - there is nothing shady about SEO articles. But I will think about reorganizing the site to better separate the articles.

2. I don't see why it would hurt. If people read the description and see the familiar name of the app that they use or have used, they will associate Paper with that app. It's just a list of writing apps - Paper is a writing app. I am trying to make a connection in their heads.

Thanks - I love a good discussion!

Ask HN: Go(lang) Is the New Basic?
With "the new Basic" I mean the good parts.

Basic focused on the essential, no weird crazy language features that would take you 10 years to master - C++ I am looking at you.

Go focuses on the basics (pun intended); thus, you can focus more on getting stuff done than fancy abstractions and language features.
Of course, Go has more features, but they seem to be baked in well and important.

What do you think of this observation?
Fair enough! As I stated, I have no personal stake in Rocky's approach as I am not a user interested in the Enterprise Linux ecosystem. That being said, if I was, I would be concerned with the approach as I can't see it being sustainable long-term to rely on the workarounds.

(I'd be happy if the Rocky Linux folks prove me wrong -- the more variety there is with Linux, the better!)
No one I know who was using those technologies at the time (including myself) was a designer nor used a Mac. Apple had 2-3% market share in the early 00s, and still below 5% in 2005. Virtually every computer user was using USB for one thing or another by then.
The companies launch prototypes because they want to test out technology and build methods that will go into the production satellite. Hence losing the prototype is a huge loss in time and/or increase in risk (if they decide to go ahead with certain technologies despite lacking on-orbit validation).
Wait, is it MacBook Pros or MacBooks Pro?

Anyway, mostly agree otherwise. Actually, macOS looks hideous and confusing to me, but the level of integration with the hardware is something I envy from Linux-laptop-land (imo it works fine on the desktop, but Linux on laptops could be better), the build quality seems quite nice, and the ecosystem seems neat.
No, it’s not like the internet where you can just turn it off. GPS modules use the 3 major bands (2 at least) in case of failure so you would have to create a localized EMF field to block the radio of a UAV. Turning off GPS will not deter a drone that has a commercial grade or better GPS module.

You are correct that most (all?) the “GPS” modules used for drones would fallback to one or more of the above alternatives to GPS.

I've been doing this since college.

It just makes sense. You can build a desktop + a cheap laptop for half. I don't have to really worry about how what I'm doing affects battery life because it's consist as a thin client. It's cheap to replace if it gets lost/stolen/broken. It's cheaper to upgrade as needed, and I don't have to replace the whole machine when I do.

I get all the portability of a laptop and all the power of a desktop, and money to spare.

I find it easier to learn abstract things like morals when there are also examples presented along-side them. More so when those examples are practical and applicable to my life. I find this to be a common sentiment.

Are you really trying to say that showing brown people and kids with a single parent is equivalent to showing rape and drug use?

Perhaps you should pause and reflect on your own morals if you think these are equivalent.
Except we could just treat them the same, and we could have a type system that makes that possible. Multiple languages before Go had a solution to this, that could've been used. Or, it could've written said sufficiently advanced compiler itself.

Instead, they didn't. And we all suffer for it.
> Are there really people that adjust their social circles based on what type of phone someone is using?

Your wording suggests it's an active decision where they immediately cut someone out because the communication turns green. And for some, it is an active decision. It's a common "joke" to poke fun at people for making the bubbles green too. But the more insidious way it arises is like how you might see patches of grass dying off due to shade and eventually turning to dirt. Someone sends a meme or a video or a picture to the MMS friendgroup, no one can see it as it was originally intended, so the iPhone users create a "sidechannel" (way easier than moving to an entirely different app) iMessage group where they share the memes and videos. Eventually the culture between the MMS friendgroup and the sidechannel friendgroup diverge until they no longer associate. The blue grass grows while the green grass turns into a patch of dirt.
There are lots of new costumers. The thing is just that most of those don't need the huge sats of the past.

And also people lose perspective. What we have to remember is how few launches other large rockets used to have. Ariane 5 the commercial success story peaked at 7 launches.

So yes, new costumers, but not enough to go from 7 to 100+.

You said it didn't need to be easy to run arbitrary code. Why would security not fall under that purview? You can jailbreak your phone and run arbitrary software on it. If there are security problems that's kind of your problem that you introduced by running your arbitrary software.

How would Apple/Google be able to monitor malware here?

How do we know that the secure boot key for example isn't part of the security architecture and by giving it out you basically enable those root level permissions?

Are we really trusting users to not lose or compromise secure boot keys that they manage on their own? If grandpa gets scammed out of his life savings are taxpayers footing that bill?

I'm not necessarily looking for answers to those questions, but it really just seems like there's a lot of open items here that have to be addressed for not a lot of benefit and instead it seems like people just want an effectively jailbroken iPhone that's somehow secured by Apple/Google more easily.

There is a lot of racism associated with how drugs are viewed and handled in the US today. That needs taken into account. We need to keep that information alive.

At the same time, we’re in the middle of an opioid crisis. Meth seems to keep rising in popularity (my opinion, no data). Black, white, yellow, or pink it doesn’t matter. People are dying left and right.

Context is important to understand how we got here and how to get out. But what we equally need is working together towards a solution. Screw those racist white dudes. However, if we spend all our time complaining about dead racists instead of working to overcome it…We get nowhere.

I’d be more than happy to listen to other viewpoints. We all have blind spots. This country needs to do more to eradicate racism. But this campaign ain’t it.
