> The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld much of Rogers' decision in 2023, finding that Epic had "failed to prove the existence of substantially less restrictive alternatives" to Apple's system.

What does this mean? Does Apple even allow any alternatives?
Uber Is Closing Drizly, a Business It Bought for over $1B Three Years Ago
I suppose having a manual override is better than not having it - especially for non-Tesla chargers - but for most long journeys I’m setting up the sat nav anyway for traffic and it’s aware of each supercharger stop to the destination.
A Federal judge applied California law (in this case, a law against unfair business conduct). That’s normal, just like state courts can (sometimes) apply Federal law.

Federal courts can “certify” questions of state law to the state courts if they don’t know how they should be applying state law, but in this case neither the district court nor the 9th Circuit felt the need to ask for clarification. The Supreme Court has final say on questions of Federal and Constitutional law. State courts have final say on State law and State Constitutions.

A State law that directly conflicts with a Federal law is preempted. There are also sometimes “zones” of preemption created by broad Federal laws. But, in this case, there is no conflict.
I think the key is understanding why promotional material matters so much to crypto. Crypto operates on hype -> higher price -> FOMO -> higher price cycle. The trade is that for large holders $$$ invested in hype would return significantly higher gains. This enabled questionable coins / ICOs to get celebrity endorsements for easy money in the past. In current regime the model can still work, but with smaller returns and significantly higher execution barriers.
I still have the Marklin HO model train from my youth. 40 years later it still works and kids love it (when we take it out).

One winter we mixed it with Lego from the Harry Potter series and pretended the train was the one going to Hogwarts.

Toys that still work 40 years later are amazing.

Younger parents who didn't play with model trains are also in awe. For those who have enough room it's really a nice thing to do to play together with your kid(s).

It s not crazy pricey either if you don't go wild.
For sport I'll counter with:

a. SQLite, by default, does allow multiple writers to connect, but only one can write at a time.

b. NFS was never suggested to be used -- embedding it in an app that exposes a network api works fine.

c. The behavior being discussed (multiple concurrent writers) already kind of exists (multiple writers) and this would just make them more performant.
I've worked with hydrogen (H2) quite a bit recently. Embrittlement and leakage are easy to work around, but here are the pain points I've seen:

1. H2 is still expensive. Most fuel cells require very pure H2 (five nines; 99.999%), or else it can damage the internal membrane. This pure H2 is not very affordable outside of a limited number of fuelling stations.

2. The rules around H2 use and transportation are still fuzzy. Despite being around for so long, regulations are still lacking or unclear.

3. H2 is light weight but takes up a lot of volume, limiting the usefulness of small-scale applications. Compressing it to liquid takes a lot of energy.

4. Fire/explosion risks, as you mentioned.

5. Fuel cells are expensive. If you look at financial statements for most fuel cell companies, they are selling them at a loss, meaning most fuel cells sold today are subsidized by government grants and investors.

6. The oil/gas industry is still pushing "grey" and "blue" hydrogen, which uses natural gas and emits carbon to produce H2.

I think H2 will play an important role, especially in decarbonizing steel making and large transportation applications, but people need to be aware of the limitations and longer timelines required for widespread adoption of green H2.

I think it's more because a game is very sensitive to jitter in CPU performance, and can reflect pretty well the responsiveness of the machine with a heavy load in the background. You can replace the game with scrolling a webpage, using slack during compile times, etc. With a game, you get a hard number (FPS) and a very visual indication of how well the load is doing (e.g. stuttering is very noticeable and is a pretty good indicator). So the game is not the point, it's IMHO a visualization of the effectiveness of the scheduler.

> I don't think there will be any cities becoming 'major powers' ever again except maybe for SV and some in China if they manage to avoid financial collapse.

There are more opportunities than that. Technical change that doesn't accrue existing regions can shift the balance - for example maybe souther Texas during a potential "gold rush" phase of private space exploitation. Or maybe, finally a big earthquake hits the west coast and the resulting resettlement in other cities breaks the current positive feedback loop of tech in bay area resulting in new powerhouse regions. Or some of the developing countriesin Africa finally get their act together and become an economic and later technical and military powerhouse. Or some currently minor country has a research lab discover a major technology, or makes a smart investment (like Taiwan and semiconductors) that makes it a new power, if harnessed locally and not just distributed back to existing tech centers. Plenty of opportunities - though it is indeed true is more likely for existing power centers to continue to centralize their benefits of existing human capital including access to resources like funding or transport hubs of physical goods, proximity to customers or whatever.
Ackman targeted Gay because she resisted pressure to crack down on pro-Palestinian protests at Harvard.

The "plagiarism" that was found in Gary's work is much less serious than the plagiarism found in Oxman's work. Unlike Oxman, Gay fully attributed everything to the original authors. Gay didn't try to misrepresent anyone else's work as her own. She paraphrased too closely, but she did cite the works she was paraphrasing. Oxman just ripped passages from Wikipedia without any attribution.
It won’t be only for the disadvantaged.
> There’s the Q factor in the Accept-Language header that allows you to indicate your preference for the quality level of the translation.

???

The q factor is just for ordering the language preferences from top to bottom (i.e. it doesn't matter whether I write "de,en;q=0.8" or "en;q=0.8,de" because both of them mean that I prefer German over English because German is implicitly q=1.0 and en is explicitly only q=0.8) and doesn't say anything about the quality of the content.
It is substantially different from changing a word in a terry Pratchett novel. Terry Prachett wrote none of that text. It would be absolute bonkers for Terry to claim ownership of text he didn’t write. Even if we pretend for a minute that the bot was asked to write in the style of Terry specifically.
Yeah, an N50 is around $4500. A Kitchenaid is like 1/10th of that. The original KA was the domestic version of the Hobart.
I worked at a company that at one point was actually open minded and cared more about the work than a lot of trivialities (till it grew up, got acquired by private equity, and became an empire of bullshit), and there was an employee who was famously homeless until she worked there. She was intelligent and incredibly dedicated and really well liked throughout, but I was also told she needed to be told to shower regularly (no idea whether that's true; she never seemed too unkempt to me). She could certainly also be called a bit weird.

I suppose people just don't like misfits (speaking as one who could also be described in such a way for a few reasons) and don't want to be made uncomfortable by their presence.
I read these as a child in the 60's. When Purple House Press re-issued them, I snapped them up. They've also re-issued some other favorites, like the Alvin Fernald series. I like to buy direct from them, so they don't have to share the money with amazon.

Now if someone would re-issue the Miss Pickerel series...
I'm about 99% sure calling it "creative comments" is just a brain slip (or TTS error) and you meant "creative commons," but because that really would be a creative change, and the 1% chance that I'm wrong has a really big risk when dealing with a company familiar with legal documents, I just want to confirm?

Kids are funny. I’ve seen multiple go through being completely obsessed up to about 5 to losing interest and never looking at a model train again. I think there’s something about that young age that makes them particularly interested, but the likelihood of a long time mode train enthusiast seems to be quite low.
Yes, of course. But that will take years. In the meantime, time is of the essence, due to the nature of the alleged crime.

> 3. South Africa has come to this Court to prevent genocide and to do so in the discharge of the international obligation that rests on South Africa and all other States under the Convention. The consequences of not indicating clear and particularized, specific, provisional measures - and not taking steps to intervene while Israel disregards its international obligations before our eyes - would, we fear, be very grave indeed: for the Palestinians in Gaza, who remain at real risk of further genocidal acts; for the integrity of the Convention; for the rights of South Africa; and for the reputation of this Court, which is equipped with and must exercise its powers to afford an effective realization of the rights under the Convention.

> 4. That means, we respectfully submit, indicating the provisional measures being sought by South Africa, as well as any others in addition which the Court might deem appropriate. Justice, and equal respect for the rights of Palestinians, points overwhelmingly in favour of these critically required provisional measures.

"Because I didn't need to". Holy shit, I can't take how out of touch people are with tech comp, living within your means, and not living to work. I need to just stop reading this thread.

Absolutely no they wouldn't.
1) Despite ongoing optimizations, the operation of proficient Language Model (LLM) models remains financially demanding. However, users are increasingly willing to invest in access to high-quality language models and the services built upon them. In 2024, we anticipate the rise of numerous Business-to-Consumer (B2C) companies offering subscription-based time-saving services that leverage LLMs, catering to a niche group of users and delivering substantial value.
2) While LLMs are beginning to function as reasoning engines, their principal weakness lies in their limited analytical reasoning capabilities. Recent research breakthroughs are poised to bridge this gap, aligning them more closely with human problem-solving processes. Expect LLMs to evolve, enabling them to plan, generalize acquired knowledge, and tackle novel, unfamiliar tasks across diverse domains.
3) These advancements will usher in a multitude of digital personas and assistants. No longer passive, these entities will proactively advocate for your interests in the digital realm.
4) Recognizing the current reluctance of humans to engage with machines using natural language, significant efforts will be invested in enhancing human-machine interfaces. The integration of conversational intelligence systems with recommender systems and personalized search systems will become more prevalent. This fusion aims to better incorporate human feedback into AI models, facilitating continuous improvement and personalization.

>America can't afford to maintain cities and it can't afford to maintain the infrastructure required for suburbs.

Big piece right there. If cities can finally stop subsidizing suburbs, they can probably shore themselves up just fine.
> Only works if the data I want is being replicated in many locations

Yes, the actual transfer won't be fetching from multiple sources unless it's replicated.

The difference between location-addressing and content-addressing is that it enables the content from being fetched from anywhere, which has uses outside of space too, as many storage solutions has already discovered since long time ago (multiple decades).

> SSD to cache or replicate data for others if I can possibly avoid it. That will unnecessarily shorten the lifetime of the SSD

Correct me if I'm wrong, but SSD lifetime is based on writes, not on reads. So you should be OK with replicating already saved data, in that case?

> that is such a hypothetical situation that I have absolutely no idea why it needs a real-world demonstration

The whole "IPFS in space" is a "utopia goal" of sorts, but aiming for it gives us benefits today.

Personally, I'd love to see a move from location-addressing to content-addressing as I'm often in locations with spotty global-internet connection and really poor latency. Sometimes, websites refuse to even try to serve me data, as it takes really long time for packets to go between where I am, and the host I'm trying to reach, so they decide to cut the connection as tell me "sorry, timed out..."

If the web was already built with content-addressing in mind, my machine could automatically fetch the content from another machine on my network, my neighbor, a dynamic cache at the ISP or wherever, anyone could serve me that data instead of that particular node with that particular IP on the other side of the world. Sharing a YouTube video between two computers on the same network would just transfer bytes on the local network, instead of reaching out to the internet. The benefits of this should be fairly obvious to anyone who is familiar with networking today.

Realistically, I don't think IPFS will be the technology that makes this possible in 10+ years, but that doesn't mean content-addressing itself is the reason why it isn't more widespread. Content-addressing been around for a long time already, and I'm sure even more and more people will realize its value over time.
Nvidia RTX 4070 Super review: a super performance bump for $599
That makes sense, and sounds like an excellent deal.
Because "user first" orgs like cohost have learned the hard way that the money math doesn't work out when your service gets even a few users. Lots of hidden costs to running social media.

Then you have the other end, mastodon and federation. At the very least, solves the user culture problem somewhat but does not solve the hidden costs of hosting and moderation at all. Especially if you get a sudden influx of users.

IMO VC money, corporate money, whatever you want to call it, is more or less required to run social media at scale.
Yes a great tool which breaks existing project tomls on update. Before poetry you had one issue and two with.
If companies are doing less hiring, how does it change response rates?

My naive assumption says that they would post less jobs, sure, but why specifically response rates? I think you're making an argument for "there is change in hiring behaviors," but that's a much weaker argument than "this is how it affects response rates."
> Our schools are a disaster, and it feels like we've completely lost a focus on competitiveness.

I do wonder how much of an attitude of "we don't need everyone to be successful, we just need enough" there is among policy makers. At this point, it seems that it's more cultural than a mere policy reorientation could fix to make the average student academically competitive again.

They don’t mention what the business structure of the partnership is, yeah.

BlueSky has a slightly different take than yours, that you might find interesting. Things are split up into “speech” layers vs “reach” layers on top of them. So “governance” gets a bit weird: at the base level, you can say whatever you want, but how accessible that is depends on the popularity of various things in the reach layer. Nobody can stop you from running a PDS and putting your posts out into the network, but if say, the most popular moderation service decides to not show your posts, users wouldn’t see them unless they use a different tool in the reach layer, say one feed that uses it and another that doesn’t.
Interesting:

> As our corpus is 95 times larger than Wikipedia, scaling up the estimate linearly would give us a range of around $237,500 to $4,750,000 to use the BERT on our corpus. ChatGPT is the latest and very powerful generative AI tool in text analysis. Again, it is not yet possible to use ChatGPT for a corpus as big as ours.

Are you a lawyer? Only lawyers with something to sell or people working entirely in hypotheticals talk like this.

People who have actually hired lawyers and litigated things know what a shit show it all is.

> As per my original post. That statement is one made from the comfortable armchair of somebody who has not had to litigate off the back of a free/cheap ready-made contract.

I've done exactly that. You can create a contract by two people writing down what they agree on in bullet points and have it be binding and litigate it if you want instead too. It's actually pretty normal. Legal docs aren't magic, they're words that represent agreement between humans, and in litigation usually what's going on is a bunch of humans trying to figure out which narrative best represents the actual underlying agreement between the people in question.

> What is a waste of resources is paying a lawyer to try to get you off the hook for something that could have reasonably been in the contract in the first place had you had it drafted for your specific business context rather than relying on some shit internet template.

Even more of a waste of resources is paying a lawyer to sort of kind of pay attention for a few minutes to your requests before assuming you're like some other situation he's seen and giving you that person's template and charging you $3,500. Which is generally what happens to people if they don't know what they're doing.

Or, alternately, paying $25,000 for a real firm with domain expertise who do actually listen to you and successfully craft a great customized document that does in fact slightly improve on the template you would have used. And then none of those things ever actually happen and it doesn't end up mattering anyways.

> Yes, lawyers use base templates, but that's because there are some clauses that will always need to be there no matter what. However the devil is in the details and the lawyers also sit down with you to understand your business context and those templates get edited, sometimes heavily edited depending on the business context.

> The point is that you are paying the lawyer for their experience. They know what should be kept in the template. They know what should be removed from the template. They know what should be added to the template AND they know how to add stuff to the templates in a legally correct manner.

Yeah sure, that's possible. But in order to get good legal work you have to know what to ask for, and you have to be working with the right lawyer.

Most people aren't going to be good at either of those two things, and working from templates is quite likely to lead to better outcomes for those people at a tiny fraction of the cost.
