Also IME Amtrak's prices are surprisingly reasonable. More like a place around the corner than like an airport food court.
Exactly. As a “backup” for when a client shoots themselves in the foot (or face!) it’s invaluable. But only if the client is worth enough to bother.

If you don’t have high value clients I can see how it’s unnecessary I suppose.
Meant in a constructive way:

"Here's the most correct take you will hear" as a title + starting an article with a picture of your own Reddit post is not the best way this could've been executed.
We've had one very small change within V2, related solely to typing. I think you're overblowing this.
Oh, good point. I didn't even think about embedded devices. The Cisco PIX firewalls were originally PCs w/ Intel motherboards (SE440BX, I believe) before becoming embedded x86 designs. I don't know how far the x86 legacy continued into the ASA and Firepower follow-up devices.
One dynamic that I think contributes to the disappearance of websites, but which has maybe a more positive shine than some other explanations, is the increasing usage of internet technologies to support small social group interaction. Consider the hypothetical Jan 1 scenario described by the author: the 2024 equivalent is seeing a screenshot of a Tweet that reminds you of a friend, and then posting it in your groupchat. This type of close/closed-circle communication didn't really exist back in the 2000-2012 era. Sure chat rooms existed and were popular, but they had a very different flavor from the current social forms of a group chat or a discord server. I think this turn towards the "cozy-net" in the last 5-8 years (a term I'm fuzzily borrowing from Venkatesh Rao) means that people are less interested in finding weird niche blogs or internet 'locations', hence their decline. The internet is now less like cave-diving or archaeology, and more like a house party. The space is familiar and comfortable, in part because of the "For You" feed, but also because the point is to share the space with people you're close to. Certainly Instagram profiles have replaced personal blogs, which isn't great, but also Instagram messaging has (partly) replaced comment sections which TBH is probably better for many people's experiences. Anonymous forums can, for all their fun and novelty, be hostile and sad places when you get down to it.
There's no "limit", just a kind of practical size I have seen. It's a single VM.
You will need NVMe to prevent disk being a bottleneck (NVMe is now 8 GB/s vs 200 MB/s for S3).
In fact, Kia's rotary knob works more like the first one in that video (before the recall). It is spring-loaded in both directions and returns to the center position after you twist it.

The knob itself gives no indication of which direction you've set it to; only the R/N/D lights in front of the knob show that.
What brand and model did you buy? I've been looking for something like this for my family.
The 8 Bit Guy makes a good case that the Tandy 1000 was the best "DOS machine" ever, even though it wasn't quite PC compatible.

Makes me wish I had one back in the day. My first PC was an XT clone, and I never owned a Tandy.
> On the other hand, if the product is aimed at a specific sector (e.g., military or space), the choice is dictated only by criteria such as adherence to requirements and cost.

I think that's the ideal, but greatly underestimates the human factor in practice. People are biased by aesthetics. And also nobody wants to be a laughing-stock, presenting the comical option to the team, management, board, etc. For government, nobody wants to have themselves all over the media and social media next to the absurdly comical thing they are presenting.
Have you tried tcpdump’ing its payload on your router? If it’s plain text it should be obvious what it’s doing. If it isn’t you can still sniff which domains it’s connecting to from SNI ClietnHello message but payload will be encrypted. You can still get to it but that would require some decent soldering and hw debugging skills…
QD-OLED beats LG panels on brightness without resorting to tricks (WOLED uses white pixels to increase brightness). Seeing them side by side with images of shiny metals such as gold, QD-OLED just looks far better.

There's a reason Sony use QD-OLED panels in their top-of-the-range TV's.
I'd pcap a bunch of the traffic -- in particular the DNS requests -- that will tell you where it is connecting. Hopefully it is using TLS, and then the SNI headers can give you more information.

I run a local DNS resolver and so I capture all the lookup responses so that I can turn IP addresses back into names. Depending on what firewall/router you have, you may be able to log connections. I use a locally hosted free Gravwell process to grab these logs and correlate with the DNS queries to find which systems are talking to where. If your home network is like mine, then there are probably a bunch of systems that you want to block from talking outside.
If you look at intel history, they bounce like crazy.

That said, I saw they were low and picked up a couple grand of intel in my playing tfsa and it’s been happy.
I hate that I agree with the author overall. I mean I probably will keep adding a `deleted` column to my tables and cursing myself when I mess up queries to hide them but I can't help thinking they will save me a ton of headache one day...

It's one of those "If you have it you will never need it but if you don't you will wish you had it"-types of things. I'm sure it's silly/stupid but it makes me feel better/safer.

Yeah, the price difference between this and Teenage Engineering's own products is wild! It's worth noting the Playdate (by Panic) is designed by Teenage Engineering and also just $200. https://shop.play.date
I've been working on a multiplayer (MMO-ish) game. Currently at the point where most of the core stuff is in place and now I'm implementing the A.I. Recently there have been some great links posted on HN regarding Game A.I, and I'm very grateful for it! Implementing A.I has been a ton of fun and not as overwhelming as I thought it'd be. I think my game will be dependent on "smart" A.I behavior so I'm really trying to get this part down.

The language i'm using - Elixir - also has some very interesting features that make it easy to integrate async a.i planning + a.i to a.i group communication. Ahh, I find it so exciting. The main simulation loop is never blocked. Meanwhile the A.I planner just chugs along as a separate process, spawning and despawning new agents in the world, creating and merging control groups, and setting new goals.
I didn't say you did, but after a search I found a post by dang about it, and directed a comment to him.
After watching Downfall, Lion air asked multiple times for additional training but was refused as this would cost boeing money. To me, that looks like Lion Air was more aware of issues than US operators. Boeing never even bothered to inform pilots of the MCAS system's existence before the first grounding.
I'm pretty sure there is more to it than just search.

The topic reminds me of early computers. People could imagine games and some niche company archives. The idea that it would touch everything didn't sound very likely to most.
Same. Also recently added a steam deck to the fleet with https://jovian-experiments.github.io/Jovian-NixOS/
I'm trying to understand why you replied "No" to my "If I understand you correctly, your objection to asking people out at work is that it wastes company time?"

AFAICT, everything else you have said, including your latest reply, is inconsistent with that.
Perhaps a 3rd party, unaffiliated QA requirement or something would help.
Yeah, the software was broken, but the real harm was caused by people much further up the chain of command when they refused to admit the software was broken, even after they were explicitly told so by a contractor they hired.

> with you having to sign off on work done and accepting personal liability

I think that makes it even easier for those at the top who are willing to lie and cheat because it becomes easy to use the lowly developers as scapegoats.

I think the only way you stop stuff like this scandal is to prosecute every c-suite executive that knew about the problem and helped cover it up instead of blowing the whistle on it. Claw back their wealth and send them to jail.
A workaround is to use OneDrive with Camera Upload feature turned on, and then sync this back down to your PC. You can choose how to sort (e.g. folders by year and month).
If by modern humans you mean modern human society, then definitely. I'm not saying that every modern society is better than every ancient society or that there's no aspect where a given ancient society is better than a given modern society, but taken as a whole modern liberal democracy is dramatically better than previous types of society. Even capitalism, one of the worst parts of modern society, is a lot better than the feudalism that it replaced.

England/Britain has considerably more continuity than most of the other contenders, though a lot depends on what you count as "democratic".
You half expect them to try saying "Umm actually, the App Store running on each device is a distinct store so we have two billion individual App Stores."
Very cool, and very aesthetically pleasing source structure.
At the moment your right, but as Google starts to implement LLM assistants into their product it's going to eat this things lunch. I would guess maybe 18-24 months max before Google assistant can do everything this thing can and they already have a phone at a similar price. Once that happens, I just don't see what niche this fills into other than "it's not Apple or Google".
I'm curious to what extent this is honest to God actually true. Maybe the very first time I ever move to a new city and want a burger, my first thought is find some directory service telling me where burgers can be found. Right now, I have a kitchen and a grill and would make the burger myself as a first choice, and if not, I've lived in the same house for seven years now and have a great dive bar a block away I can walk to that my wife and I have hung out at forever where we know the owner and staff and they make terrific burgers, better than anywhere I've been in the city in the now nine years I've lived in this city.

Do people really just perpetually not know where to get something they want in the place they live?
Well you haven't been looking too closely then, because there are a ton of washing machines on the market that are WiFi-enabled and have apps.
I don't think TJ's sells cigarettes, FWIW. But from what I've heard, they're hands-off with TJ anyway.
Yeah, I guess you're right. The queue vs. addressable memory thing seems secondary. Is the real difference that a transformer model is stateless and Turing machine is stateful? And the assumption of a stateless model is why they can assert that a repeated state implies an infinite loop (assuming we're not sampling the softmax to get the output token)?
I once visited an army surplus store which stocked a kind of string vest which looked like a fish-net but with thicker cords. The proprietor claimed it was developed by the Swedish military for its effectiveness in hot weather but didn’t become popular because of pushback from soldiers who didn’t want to wear it because it looked kind of gimpy.
I was also wondering if the was the plane from Mad Max 2.

Pydantic author here.

Pydantic won't change again significantly, so it won't be any effort to keep it up-to-date.

There were good reasons to make all the changes made in the V1->V2 upgrade, I think those are pretty clear.

I think Pydantic is popular because of it's extremely flexible/powerful while also being intuitive to get started with.
Firefox's irrelevance is why it's regulated to techies. And sure, you're free to blame Google for some of that, but let's not pretend Mozilla has always been some wellspring of user-pleasing decision making.

> Theyd be exhausting plasma right?

I don't see the word "plasma" once in the article. That said, neither de-icing nor small surface conduits are new in aviation. The J58 famously bled air overboard to disrupt a boundary layer [1].

While obviously it can veer off into the morbid and obscene, anyone remember "dramatic reenactment" labels on true crime TV in the 90s? (maybe before too)

But I do think there's a space for communicating with impactful re-enactment and tasteful "redaction" (censor blurs, keeping things off scene, or jumping forward allowing implication to tell the story).

As with all laws, and rules, the enforcement story will tell what the policy actually means.
IIRC the original was for DOS (many hours lost, good joystick required). The later remake / remaster was for Win95. Amazing how good the audio production was in that game for suspension of disbelief. Also, it actually focused on the action. Fast forward to space games in 2024... argh.
Yes, you have to build an app that runs on a device owned by someone with access to the album.

Google Photos, by comparison, has a REST API.
People just don't think of the world in terms of finding their people. Work? Find people doing cool things. Internet? Find people writing about or doing cool things. Friends? Find cool people to hang out with. Dating? Find cool people to... (none of my business.)

Instead, it's all about job applications, swiping right, scrolling the algos, etc. Nobody thinks in terms of people.

My list isn't even websites. It's people, and whatever ways I can follow or contact them.
Once upon a time, people installed applications. You installed skype. You installed AIM. You installed iTunes. You installed Microsoft Office.

Now, you go to zoom.com, or messenger.com, or open.spotify.com, or docs.google.com. You don't have to install and constantly update desktop apps because you can load an always-up-to-date webpage in 500 milliseconds. PWAs have access to desktop notifications, serial ports, your local filesystem, etc. They can do everything desktop apps can. With WASM, they can even handle high-performance workloads. The web is just a better way to distribute software.

IMO, operating systems should go all-in on web apps. ChromeOS basically does that. The capyloon project [1] aims to do that for mobile devices. There should be no downloadable apps. "App stores" should just be CDNs. Browser caching can enable offline use. There's no technical reason why the web can't be just as user-friendly as downloadable apps. It's just culture.

And, hopefully making the web more usable would also soften the power of the platform silos.

I have a kagi bang just for this, !sgn.
This analogy isn't very convincing to me.

Car manufacturing is a regulated industry. When I buy a car in the USA, even for my taxi business, I shouldn't need to hire a team of engineers to verify that it was properly designed and won't spontaneously combust. I should be able to assume that if the car is being legally sold to the public in the USA, the manufacturer has demonstrated that it meets some basic safety requirements set out by the government. I obviously have some _operational_ responsibilities (e.g. taking my taxis out of service if they're recalled for a design flaw), but I wouldn't consider myself responsible at all if my taxi happened to be the first 2025 Toyota Camry that spontaneously combusted from some design flaw.

Regulators aren't perfect but this is one reason they exist. The FAA has a set of requirements for manufacturing and selling planes in the USA and they have a set of requirements for operating an airline. If I'm operating an airline and the FAA tells me that the verification of an airplane's design and its assembly is the manufacturer's responsibility and not mine, I don't think it's fair to hold me responsible if my brand new airplane falls from the sky because of a design flaw.
If you can't prove it, why do you yourself believe it? You said you "know how science works" but you've been arguing that 0.1 watts of non ionizing radiation that can't penetrate the skin causes cancer and in a previous thread you were arguing that humans aren't smarter than mosquitos.
> our database as a "persistence layer" -- it's not. It's a knowledge base.

Love this. Your database is your app in my opinion. The data model matters.
What choice do they have? If they switch to Airbus they’re going to be waiting until at least 2030. They could buy used but that’s goes against why airlines are ordering new planes to begin with. And that’s not factoring in the maintenance cost in switching manufacturers. Thats why you’ll see airlines be a Boeing or Airbus only fleet.
"PC compatible" was a common shorthand reference to "IBM PC compatible" which was referring to a specific architecture compatible with IBM PC software, and later, that platform's descendants. There were many personal computers at the time but colloquially, the IBM PC was the PC.
I'd totally buy a ChatGPT+ device for my 7yo and I imagine people around the house would use it quite a bit.

Not sure I want to replace any other actions yet. Probably someday, but touch + apps is actually just incredibly good. A sub-1yo can start learning to use a smartphone / ipad, and a 6yo can put together an uber eats order. I'm not saying it can't be improved on, and I fully want a competent voice assistant in my phone. But it's gonna be real hard to do better than what we already have in our pockets on the things they're already good at.

So this presentation fell flat is for me are when it was talking about doing things pretty much everyone does just fine on their phone. But it was very exciting to imagine a ChatGPT+ device sitting around the house for anyone to pick up and interact with.
... It will be.
I think an acquisition does seem pretty likely actually. Google still has yet to make assistant do anything interesting, despite leading the way on the research side of things. Also keep in mind that they lost a ton of AI talent to startups.
Alaska Airlines Blowout Reveals Cockpit Door Vulnerability on Boeing Jet
I had this problem with their TV as well. They sold this Samsung One box with it which completely replaced the HDMI out on the TV. Of course the software on the box then failed leaving the TV functionally useless for anything that didn’t use WiFi.
I like this take because it helps me contextualize the conflict in terms of other conflicts.

Specifically, it has a very similar structure to "the US could have won in Vietnam if they'd just used nuclear weapons".

It's less often applied to the US destruction of Korea because the US did, in fact, run out of things to bomb. However, there were elements in the US military who were very upset that they couldn't use nukes there.

In retrospect, the wholesale slaughter of, say, the peasantry of south Vietnam is a horrific crime, and the fact that more folks weren't murdered doesn't do much to make me feel like it was a moral thing to do. From a US perspective, that take has been pretty persuasive, but even a cursory look at what the US did to the people of that country is chilling. The fact that they could have simply immolated everyone in the country doesn't make it one bit less of a crime.

The fact that Nazi Germany "only" killed 13M civilians in camps

(and didn't just, say, summarily execute them on the street, but instead simply legally deported an excess non-citizen population, until they had no place to put any more "surplus" non-citizens)

doesn't make me feel any better about what they did in order to ensure a "German" majority in their nation.

I can say for sure, as I drove between the Ute and Dine "reservations" to my parent's home near a Mescalero reservation, that the fact that there are still remnants of those folks living here doesn't do a lot to make me feel better about their treatment in the past. I suppose that the US could have done even more horrific things, but I'm thoroughly mystified how that would make any of this horror less terrible.

All those actions still feel like horrifying crimes against humanity, and the fact that the people who did them could have been even more destructive and cruel doesn't do much to change my opinions on any of them.

I'd bet that the justification will probably sound just as convincing to the IDF and related folks when they run out of folks to murder. The idea that we could have done worse is often a fantastic consolation for guilty people.

That's only the case if an ideological view of history is wrong; which is certainly one way to approach history. However, there's nothing to say that approach is inherently correct.

I had to look it up, apparently Wilt Chamberlain shot underhanded one year and gave up because he said he looked like a sissy doing it. The Shaq said he'd rather shoo 0% than use the granny shot... so there is some norm governing what shot you use.

Shaq might not be humble, but he's got a great attitude, once asked how is game was, he said, he was retired and hadn't shot a ball in years. That's awesome. Many players can't let go.
"Internet posts are just text, yet people act as if we're forcing others to read what we write. Imagine if writing books that make other people feel bad was banned - what a culture would that be."

Between death threats and insults directed at real people - and a fictionary book, there is usually a difference, even though books can be bad as well, if they are directed against certain people (e.g. Mein Kampf).
