I have kids that go to school and they don't use Facebook. They don't want to. I didn't even ask them to not have an account. (that one kind-of surprised me, honestly)

My Jiu Jitsu gym heavily uses Facebook but they're smart enough to recognize that not everyone (even the people that have an account) checks it regularly so they notify the members through other means. Lately they've been telling people to be on the lookout for a text message they're planning on sending so, it sounds like they're recognizing that Facebook use is waning in a meaningful way.

I haven't had a Facebook account in 12 years and haven't missed it one bit. I don't expect everyone else to do any extra work to accommodate my preferences. I didn't ask my gym to text me. The just started doing it.

Time and again for the last 12 years I've found that if there was something someone needed me to know, they found a way to contact me and, if I needed to get in touch with them I found a way. Just like we did for many, many years before Facebook started.

Of course. Same as solving our ecological crises is a long-term project. All I’m saying is they have overlap, and there are a lot of people who aren’t turned on by staving off a disaster who are by pursuing a lofty ambition.

> that doesn't sound like that great of a deal

That seems to reflect my experience with used rental cars in general.

Remember - this is THEIR TRUE BUSINESS.

Rental car companies traditionally get huge discounts from the manufacturers to buy their cars in volume, and in return the contract says they will not sell them early and/or with little mileage. This would compete with dealers, and degrade the market for new cars.

(I believe not tesla, it seems they didn't get a discount from them for the huge volume purchase?)

So they have to continue renting them out before they can "cash in" and sell the cars to folks who feel comfortable driving a middle-of-the-road car for a little less than a new car but with a warranty.

Not that great a car, not that great a deal, not that much hassle.

What I find interesting is that tesla kept the ev rental market from bottoming out. Early EV's usually had terrible resale values. I remember you could get a nissan leaf for 1/4 of retail after the 3-year lease was up. Tesla managed to keep the early used tesla price high by selling them themselves after the lease was up.

It's wild to me that Euclid's Elements made #15. Not that math isn't a great thing to learn but are hundreds of pages of (translated) straight propositions from over two millennia ago really such a superior means of learning vs everything written since that it's still the 3rd most referenced math book in the list? I mean it's not like the propositions will have changed but surely there are many improved arrangements of teaching the concepts by now that people would be using and mentioning instead? Dunno, maybe it's just my ignorance for not trying it.

Also worth noting that Google originally aimed to create less intrusive ads. Relevant, text-only ads with no Javascript, clearly distinguished from the search results by being on the side instead of above the search results. Those days have long since passed.

WHAT IS A NORMIE?

Normie is a slang for a “normal person,” especially someone seen to have conventional, mainstream tastes, interests, viewpoints, etc. It is intended as an insult but often used ironically.
Normie is also sometimes used by specific in-groups to refer and distinguish themselves from specific out-groups.

In case it wasn't clear from me using normie vs techie in the actual comment. I'm talking about a guy like the one that posted the FAQ (techie) that is different from most "socially normal" people (normie) that would actually appreciate all these questions over and over and take comfort in them. Well he doesn't apparently. Deal with it.
> Perhaps you're still looking for the 'blast far and wide' angle.

Consider the idea that there is no angle here at all. What if you are simply witnessing people communicating with other people? No angles, no channels?

You read this, and your takeaway was that "SV folks have an elevated sense of purpose". That is only true under the premise that they wrote this with the intent to .. I don't know, self-market. To get reach, clicks, whatever. The usual imaginary Internet points.

What if they didn't? What if we just stumbled upon part of a genuine conversation that simply isn't directed at us?

I'm sorry if I sounded aggressive earlier - because I was.

I grew up on a different Internet, where the vast majority of stuff was in some form genuine, even if it was psychotic, moronic or simply mundane and boring.

You might disagree, but my bullshit detectors tell me that this is genuine. Which is rare these days. And because I miss that stuff, I am somewhat protective of it. Sorry for lashing out.

PS - "autistic" as code for "retarded" is, you know, like, so totally 2018.

> Your position is ridiculous about keeping a situation private, while it's on the front page of hacker news. Give yourself a reality check about intentions.

If somebody else posts a link to something I wrote to some link aggregator, that neither says nor changes anything about my intentions when I wrote it. That much should be, in your words, "self-evident".

This is not about privacy. Just because you can access it in a browser does not make you the target, just as being able to listen to a conversation in a subway does not make you a party to it. Again, self-evident.

PPPS:

After that "moron", I'll take back my apology, thank you very much,

My experience was quite a bit different than SWE. For me, it was as part of a R&D group and was more closely assigned to say, signals processing and my coworker was a physicist. The big change was that the skillset was more in rigorous thinking about the model itself and challenging how it worked. I had other parts to wireup the AI/ML that were more SWE for sure, though. What was your experience like?

Show HN: Marvin 2.0 – a lightweight, multi-modal AI toolkit
Hey HN! We just released Marvin 2.0.

Marvin is an AI toolkit for developers who want to use LLMs with traditional software. We still see significant challenges integrating LLMs because of how difficult it is to get them to reliably accept and return structured data. Marvin consists of independent, functional tools that address this problem in a variety of ways.

Marvin has always been focused on using LLMs to work with native Python datatypes and Pydantic models. In 2.0 we've expanded this significantly with dedicated APIs for the most common use cases we've seen over the last year: classification, entity extraction, transforming data to types, and generating synthetic data. Marvin 2.0 is also fully multi-modal and supports images as inputs for classification, extraction, and transformation tasks (as well as simple image and speech generation). We've also introduces a Pythonic interface to OpenAI's assistants API, which now powers all of Marvin's interactive components.

We've tried to make an LLM framework that "sparks joy" and captures that same feeling you had the first time you saw an LLM in action. Try it out and let us know what you think!

Wouldn’t Southwest have been as opposed 20 years ago to a 737 replacement that required a new type certificate as they were when Boeing was marketing the Max?

As I understand it, their insistence that their pilots be able to fly a new model with only a limited refresher course was one of the major factors that prevented Boeing from launching a clean sheet design.

Edit: Not meaning to blame this debacle on Southwest (I think American also took a similarly hard line) and certainly not meaning to absolve Boeing from many, many poor decisions. But I think it’s fairly easy to say with the benefit of hindsight that of course Boeing should have pursued a real 737 replacement, and I’m not sure that the commercial factors that weighed against that would have been diminished regardless of timeline.
No? Nothing was 'shut down' for a single day from what I understand. Boeing had enough sway to make teaming up with Airbus, and eventually selling to them, attractive but it's bizarre to think they could physically 'shut down' production lines in other countries.

I can't speak for anyone else but switching to Dvorak saved my wrists. As a systems engineer most of my day is typing. About 15 years ago I started having pain in my wrists that got almost to the point I seriously considered changing professions away from IT. A friend convinced me to try dvorak first as he had good results with his RSI. I tried it, hated it, but persevered because I actually loved my job. It paid off, after about a month, I learned dvorak well enough to get things done at a reasonable speed. My wrists hurt less and less as time went on, and eventually stopped. I still type as much as I ever did really, probably more because I have to write so much more prose as my career has progressed. I credit switching to Dvorak for saving my career. Obviously YMMV, but the finger travel distance is less, and I could feel the difference. I now type about as fast as I did with qwerty, and haven't had an issue switching any os I use a keyboard with to dvorak for at least 10 years. If you have RSI, I highly recommend pushing through the hard learning curve and seeing if it helps. I do still have qwerty on my cell, but there I type with my thumbs, not my fingers, and the speed isn't comparable anyways.
I live in California, I read national media for decades, and I've never heard of it.

SFChronicle has only ever mentioned it once, and that was in 2021 in the context of the local (SF) debate about Lowell HS's entrance exam: (https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/S-F-s-Lowell-isn...). Googling "site:sfchronicle.com SHSAT" only has that one hit.
You have 1996 Buick in upstate NY and it isn't rusted out yet!? Was it stored in a barn?
Wow, I hadn’t heard that quote before but is is scary accurate and broadly applicable (think ‘psychopathic’ executives and politicians). I often wonder about those type of folks whether some transformation of mind occurs that turns a previously reasonable human being into a ‘lawnmower’, or whether they were born that way and directed their appetites into channels where they could maximise the expression of their ‘lawnmower-mess’.

EDIT: “ broadly applicable”

Mildly.
Consumer Reports does longitudinal research on car models, their repairs, etc. I don't know if they have a dollar figure for lifetime repairs, but they will have something valuable.

OT: I don't know why Consumer Reports isn't overwhelmingly popular on HN, why their articles aren't regularly on the front page: Empirical, professional, scientific research on consumer products. They have a budget, labs, serious expertise. Also, they are a non-profit serving the public interest with exceptional integrity - they refuse advertising, buy every product they test at retail, even forbid manufacturers from citing CR, etc. It's the HN dream.

I suspect it's a generational thing - for people on HN, Consumer Reports is their parents' publication, a magazine with old-fashioned-looking layout.

Sony’s phones also come with minimally modified Android. They still have 3-4 bloatware apps to remove with ADB but it’s pretty manageable.

The developer's fee is for the SDK and other software. It has nothing to do with the store. Why this is confused feels very disingenuous to me. No vendor selling product through a 3rd party store EVER receives 100% of the retail price. They always sell at wholesale which is a much steeper rate than 30%

> inside platforms

This just means private market. There's nothing special about the term "platform" that changes the feudal nature of this. The tenants compete but the operator has coerced exclusion on collecting its tax. This private market has a single operator offer access on non-negotiable terms against which no other entity is able to make a competing offer. If that's not a monopoly, it's certainly far worse to everyone but the owner of the market.

I chose to buy a device, it's mine. What on earth are you doing meddling with what i do with it, apple? Your taste in apps sucks ass and you charge the poor app developers 10x the value you provide. Being forced to use the appstore actively lowers the value of my phone.

I don't appreciate this attempt by large corps to just rewrite the meaning of ownership and markets without giving us any of the benefits of a world without property or a centralized marketplace. The people here who defend it disgust me.

How is this not straightforwardly a vertically owned market with full price controls to which we can only rent space at exorbitant cost and little return compared to an public market?

We all know the reason: it drives profits and our index funds. Nobody wants to kill the golden goose, even if that represents us all getting collectively sold up river. Which should remind you of about a thousand other problems this country faces.

apple is gatekeeping billions of users. unreal engine is not.
Sounds expensive for Apple, and like it will be enforced unevenly.
It's also extremely common though. We have to deal with the limitations of the people we want to educate. It's hard to convince someone that they've been lied to and manipulated by a group they trust and identify with. Even if we know someone has let ideology and pride compromise their judgement it's unlikely to be effective pointing that out to them. Not everyone has the temperament to engage with someone who has willfully blinded themselves to reality, and those that do don't have to pretend that these people aren't being obtuse and sticking their heads in the sand, they're just probably better off not telling that to the person they're trying to deprogram

> is there a good estimate for what modal maintenance costs look like?

This depends heavily on the make and model. Some publications like Consumer Reports will try to estimate this, and this is generally a good way to compare makes and models, but the costs also depend on things like how you drive, where you drive, and where you take the vehicle for repairs.

Maintenance can be a lot less expensive when you do it yourself.

> is the used car market efficiently priced for accounting for those costs?

Definitely not. Used cars are priced based on a large number of factors, maintenance costs being only one, and the buyers (and, for that matter, sellers) generally don't have any better information on it than you do.
I was mostly talking about building maintenance and upkeep. Somebody has to pay for that. Truly vacant buildings are often mothballed to the extent of having water shut off, hvac disabled, etc.

Filling a building with homeless adds to costs, increases wear and tear, and those costs have to be borne by someone.

It’s not about perfect being the enemy of good. It is about simple costs and overhead. The homeless people obviously can’t cover basic costs. The building owners don’t have much real incentive to donate the building for use, so in the end the vacant buildings do not equate to a solution.

Key highlight for anyone unfamiliar with web graphics technologies reading this comment and interested in trying one out themselves: as mentioned above, lightgl only abstracts WebGL and this is different than the more flexible WebGPU Shadeup abstracts. One example of the difference is the fluid sim example in lightgl/WebGL has to be written as pixel based shaders (meant to do operations on pixels in textures) while Shadeup/WebGPU let you do this as a pure general purpose compute shader (more like a generic bit of code that happens to run on a GPU). This is both much more flexible in terms of what you can do as well as much more efficient/scalable in execution.

Android was developed entirely at google (and redone midway after iphone came out) despite being originally an acquisition. Youtube basically just sold userbase + content. Chrome. Waymo. AppEngine precedes ec2 and heroku by some time. Most of hashicorp products (and dozen other startups) are basically copies of what google had internally.

The theory that google hasn’t birthed any original products just doesnt hold any water
