BT in my car: Spotify on the phone starts to auto-play as soon as it connects. Because car = music, apparently. I still haven't been able to figure out if this is Spotify, Android or Mercedes being dumb.

Similar to your issue, my laptop and I are often exactly far enough apart that my Bose headphones start an infinite connect/disconnect cycle, with a tediously long "Connected to laptop" message every 30 seconds. For that scenario, it would have been enough if it just stopped trying after a few short connections.

My conclusion is that we've had wireless devices for >20 years, but have barely scratched the surface of the implications in terms of UX.
This is a long winded way of saying if you lower the bar for what you consider success, more people can qualify for it.

While technically true, the observation is not useful for one very obvious reason. If you lower the bar too much, the skill itself is no longer useful.

The question is, can everyone learn anything to a useful degree, and the answer is no.
This sounds a lot like AWS Aurora, which (I'm simplifying here) is a database interface on top of a distributed file store, (S3).

The comparison is a bit flawed since there is no dialect continuum between spoken Mandarin and Cantonese, and there might have never been one.

A crucial difference is that there is no standardized form of written Cantonese. There is a common set of characters used in advertising, sometimes newspapers, or in court transcripts, but that's it. For anything official, Modern Standard Written Chinese is used.

People write Cantonese in private of course, but that usage is not uniform at all since there is a lot of slang (especially swearing words) for which more than one popular way to write it down exists. Quite often the characters chosen for that purpose had different meanings originally. Some particularly novel or distinctive words and idioms are even partly written in Latin letters, like 快-D.
It is multi-functional. You can make it behave like spreadsheet, notepad, or database. All in the same document. So a better question might be "Why use Excel?"
Thanks for that one. I just started a new job, where they use only Oracle DBs and that could be useful.
I know another common pattern is for Fraternal Order of Police to solicit "donations" for mugs or stickers that people will display on their vehicles in the hope of currying favor with enforcement officers. This seems to be much less strictly enforced than this case in NYC, but some states even allow for optional license plates, with a portion of the fee going to local FOP lodges.
> Imagine if Linux published only a binary without the codebase. Or published the codebase without the compiler used to make the binary. This is where we are today.

This was such a helpful way to frame the problem! Something felt off about the "open source models" out there; this highlights the problem incredibly well.
Ask HN: Are you keeping your professional skills up to date?
Was really interested in this at the time of Cron's acquisition, hoping it would mean Cron would be cross-platform (specifically on Android). 18 months for ecosystem integration and a rebrand and no platform expansion.
> Apple hosts the apps, doesn't charge devs or customers anything for bandwidth used when downloading them.

But it doesn’t allow developers to host the apps themselves, so they are being forced to pay for a service they don’t need.
Wow, I had no idea about that.
Not if the paper references all of its sources. It's plagiarism when it's used without attribution.
The article is quite long, but it seems to agree with your suspicions.

Personally, I don't think this is sustainable. Once you make the injustice obvious, people will give-up on following the rule.
“We’re reaching out to negotiate for the decryption key.”

“There is no key.”
The memorandum calls for this to apply to unclassified research funded "wholly or in part" by federal funds. So, even a partial contribution by any of those mechanisms you identified may mark it for open access, although individual agencies are tasked with developing their own implementation policies.

What I'm afraid of occurring is over-leveraging classification of research as a means around this, if for no other reason than it's easier to implement/publish.
It's third wave feminism, when the word emancipation was replaced by the very liberal and individualistic 'empowerment', and the liberal captation of postmarxism that created identity politics.

Saying 'the left created identity politics' is quite antinomic. Identity and individuality are clearly not core left wing values.
Fundamentally the 'three round' model was about the risks, first was execution risk (can the team actually build what they say they can?), the second was market risk (will the market see enough value in the product to pay enough for it to give the company at least 33% net margins for R&D/growth?), and then round three was scaling risk (what is the addressable market for this product? How much has been reached so far? How much more could be reached?)

After those three rounds you are a going concern with hopefully 10 - 20% market share and an IPO will repay the investors, give you a regular way to raise capital on the open markets, Etc.

Way too many 21st century start ups were investors scamming other investors :-)
That's a good question.

Some of these academic preprint/archive sites are experimenting with "a place for reviews".

There's a couple of issues (I hesitate to say "problem" but it could be seen that way):

1. How do you choose who does reviews?

2. Why should the archive service host those reviews?

Currently, in general, an editor asks reviewers to review, they review, and it's part of the editorial process leading to publication. This is a sort of "gatekeeping" model, for better or worse.

If you let reviews into an archive service, how do you do that? If you let everyone do it, that's fine, but then do you need arXiv etc to host those reviews? Should arXiv etc host those reviews? If you do have reviewers selected, how do you do that?

I'm not saying there aren't answers to these questions, but it does get a little complicated. Pay-to-publish has its own huge problems imho for example.

In general, academics don't know what to do to mark value in the absence of a "stamp of approval" from an "endorsed expert". I think that's what's underlying all of this.

The thing that has always stopped me from using Notion is that it's not end-to-end encrypted. So much personal data will be uploaded, with the possibility of abuse and/or getting stolen in a leak, or as often happens, some other company buying them including all your data, and changing the policies;

For tasks i've been using OmniFocus, which is an excellent app. e2e + syncs between all devices.

Haven't found a good Calendar app yet of the same quality...
You can't emulate 3DS on the Steam Deck, apparently it's either not powerful enough or 3DS emulators don't work well with AMD drivers. The games are too slow, I tried it with Link Between Worlds.

I expect the next Switch to be powerful enough to make emulation difficult, but we'll see.
Happened the same to me and I thought of some updater glitch until I visited their website.

The schedule links I created with cron seem to be not working as well.
I've had shitty experiences with other airlines but that one was unique/notable.

It does seem like post-Covid all of the airlines are racing to the bottom for quality.

I've had canceled flights before but no other airline has ever forced me to rebook effectively the same flight at double the rate and wait the 8-10 days for the refund on my original flight to my credit card. Back when I was a brokie (you know, Spirit's main customer base) that kind of shit would have been trip-ending.
They both look broadly like Apple’s Calendar app with some features of Google Workspace’s Calender mixed in.

The USA has several many towns and cities which were built because of railways.

Railways induce demand, both for work for the railway (moving trains, moving goods between trains, services for passengers), and for the excellent transport connections they provide.

GSuite has barely changed since it came out; let's be real.
The real question you're asking is what percentage of people live in areas where public transportation isn't reasonable.

it's a lot larger than you think, especially if you're a city dweller.
I moved from Joplin to Obsidian pretty much only because Obsidian has all the files as regular files.

Joplin has its own weird-ass database system.

It was also really janky 4 years ago when I used it, might've gotten better since.
For all your examples I can think of a reason to update the url in some or most scenarios. It depends.

New blog comment can be part of the url target with the comment id. Makes it easy to share and puts the scroll bar at the right position.

Menu navigation can be quite complex with nested modals, you might want to be able to deeplink for documentation/training purposes and highlight a selection.

With a cart you might want to add a ‘cart state/session’ id so you can share it with your spouse to quickly get to an agreement about stuff to order.
>October 18, 2023: I noticed the vulnerability is now fixed – the email sending API now requires authentication. I ask CERT-In if TTIBI can offer a bug bounty reward.

>TTIBI never responded to the question, so I decided to close the case on December 22 and CERT-In sent me a nice appreciation letter.

The letter:

"Dear Eaton Zveare,

This email is written in appreciation and recognition of your efforts for bringing our attention to the "Cryptographic Failures" in one of the Indian websites on 08.08.2023.
The role of responsible security researchers is pivotal for creating a secure cyber ecosystem and CERT-In strongly believes in working actively with a researcher like you for the discovery of cyber security vulnerabilities and their subsequent remediation in a responsible manner.

We look forward to your valuable contribution in future as well.

Thanks & Regards"

I appreciate this conversation. It gives me ideas how to think about the future copy of the landing page. Truth be said, that landing page and most of the blog posts were made haphazardly in a single afternoon. Heck, many people think that AIMD is only used for generating copy for comics... It is well overdue for a refresh based on all the learnings.
How are plumbers so skilled and powerful that they can avoid being enslaved? If slavery is legal in your country, certainly being a plumber vs housemaid will not be the deciding factor in whether you become a slave. Clearly the key factor here is the legality of slavery, not the existence of remotely operated robots.

Edit: I also don't understand why we suddenly jumped from GP's scary dystopian warning to robots operated by foreign slaves. Casting aside how unrealistic the underlying technology is, applying it en masse is an entirely different discussion. You're essentially allowing the whole world's population to migrate to your country.
Interestingly, it sounds a bit like you read an article in The Atlantic yesterday about chaos theory and the current state of the world[0]. But of course it's just fairly obvious to anyone who pays attention.

I think that this kind of uncertainty is why religion has long had a place for humans, to believe that there is meaning and a plan. I wish that I could subscribe to one of the more mainstream ones, but I've really never been able to believe in them. I think a meditation practice is helpful and can help develop a bit of spirituality at least. Otherwise it's just the standard advice anyone will give you for anxiety; diet, exercise, perhaps medication.

Until ten years ago, REI's return policy was as generous as it could possibly be: they would accept any product, after any length of time, in any condition, for any reason. As a result, there were amazing deals in their used department and at their yearly garage sale; during my 20s I got much of my hiking and skiing gear this way.

The best score ever was a pair of crampon-compatible Swiss mountaineering boots, retail price several hundred dollars (a near fortune to me at the time), which - according to the tag - someone had stashed in the back of his closet and never gotten around to wearing. REI took them back according to policy, but couldn't put them on the shelf, so they went to the garage sale, where I picked them up for five whole dollars. I still have them, too! I doubt my future holds many more reasons to wear crampons, but I put enough miles on those boots that I had to replace the soles twice, and that value-for-money ratio is tough to beat.
the thread is about EV charging, this particular branch of the discussion is about public transportation.
Less money short time maybe. But look at the reverse situation when lotteries were legalized and used as funding for schools. Which happened short term, but then not.
It really depends; in some areas it's exceedingly low-trust, almost paranoid. In some other areas it's probably not too bad.

Previous: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36933489

I used to live in Indonesia and things are much more "high trust" in many aspects. On the other hand Indonesia also has a lot of problems with corruption and that sort of thing. "High trust/low trust" is too simplistic.

I don't have 200 other countries to compare it to, but by and large, Western countries are much less high-trust in many areas than people assume. This often becomes painfully obvious once you stray outside of the "standard happy path".
Thank you for your comments :)
Another comment suggests the free version simply doesn't accept 10 bit input files. I use kdenlive for my limited editing and was thinking to try Davinci but that seems like a deal breaker as 10-bit is coming fast to consumer, prosumer devices.
What is this comment implying? I don't think it was meant as a retro-active implementation. Future research funded by tax dollars would be impacted, not past research. So it seems to align just fine with what you're saying.
>Where is the line? It’s ok for humans to learn from others work but not a machine?

Yes.

The machine doesn't get to make its own choices. Once it does, we'll have a different conversations.

Presently, humans decide what goes into the training set, and what comes out. Those humans are the ones that we need to regulate.

Hot take: The LLM is learning as much as a ZIP file is learning.
I've never run into any issues with United's support. A pretty similar situation happened to me, didn't cost me a dime.
Prents want to hear from their children if - as they imagine the scenario - their child is about to die.
Companies want insurance to pay for their losses, and it turns out the only thing the videos find on self-checkout stands is that customers are frustrated that the machine is calling them a thief, when the shoplifters, big surprise, don't stand around in line for 15 minutes to walk out the door without paying.

The loss prevention person at the door is more likely to find items you left behind than to stop a shoplifter, but insurance demands it.

And the false positives on those little loss control tags is so high that most of the time workers aren't even going to look your direction if something sets it off. Once again, this is all crap required by insurance.

Shoplifters don't care about any of this. They just grab what they want and leave.
> ...they often become corrupt...

Unions are what protect significant chunks of the middle class and it's because they're so important that these flagrant abuses must be corrected.
It breaks ALL THE THINGS (no, I do not use these Apple services; SMS and calls only).

Pi-hole allows one local DNS to provide different resolutions to each client (e.g. you could have different rules for your iPhone VS computers) — but I do not differentiate against my blacklist responses.

On my networks, *.apple.com (&c) resolve immediately into the trashcan.
Since the browsers work as a sort of unified experience (to some extent) that would be quite good. But sadly, I haven't seen the wide adoption of PWA or similar technology. Most usually just create their own app, which in many cases really isn't even needed, since the app is just a wrapped version of their website.
Not a subject matter expert, so forgive me if the question is unintentionally obtuse, but It seems like a reasonable statement. They seem to be inferring that problems with existing public solutions wouldn't be a good indicator of performance in solving novel problems-- likely a more important evaluative measure than how fast it can replicate an answer it's already seen. Since you couldn't know if that solution was in its training data, you couldn't know if you were doing that or doing a more organic series of problem solving steps, therefore contaminating it. What's the problem with saying that?
They have built their own storage engine named Redwood, which has some very FoundationDB-specific optimizations (like prefix compression). Check out the "Storage Servers" section in this doc: https://apple.github.io/foundationdb/architecture.html
FoundationDB only uses the b-tree implementation and even that I don't know if it is still used as they switched storage engines I think.
I'm interested in having you expand on these thoughts, so I'll play devils advocate here. I personally don't have strong opinions on the subject.

> has proper indexes

Does it matter where in the code the index lives? Are you arguing that databases don't have proper indexes or that filesystems don't? I'm not sure I'd agree with either argument.

> correct transactions

filesystems and databases have transactions, which one is "incorrect"?

> versionstamps (for both keys and values)

filesystems have timestamps, not sure what a versionstamp is but I suspect it's some domain specific name for a more general concept that both databases and filesystems utilize.

> streaming large amounts of data

many databases stream massive data and filesystems certainly do

> all of that in a distributed database

every major PaaS has some form of distributed filesystem
All of this revolves around people doing stupid shit and not critically thinking. There's a price to be paid for being oblivious to your surroundings and not thinking. I have a niece who is 20 years old, scored very high on a formal IQ test, is autistic, and who has been in three car accidents - all her fault - because she doesn't pay attention. Now her insurance is $500 per month. And her Mom has cut her off and she's paying for it now.

Life will make you learn to pay attention... the severity of the lesson is up to you.
Yeh. Or, during a complex investigation, you need to setup a hypothesis explaining these spikes in order to eventually establish causality surrounding these spikes. And once you have causality, you can start fixing.

For example, I've had a disagreement with another engineer there during a larger outage. We eventually got to the idea: If we click that button in the application, the database dies a violent death. Their first reaction was: So we never click that button again. My reaction was: We put all attention on the DB and click that button a couple of times.

If we can reliably trigger misbehavior of the system, we're back in control. If we're scared, we're not in control.
How big of un upgrade is it from 16 gigs to 32? I don't use Android Studio or any Jetbrains software but for me 4 GB isn't too low. In my eyes 16 GB is almost too much, so I get shocked when I hear of people using 32/64 GB.

Where do you get this number for Stripe ?

Right now, in the EU, the standard fee (before negotiation and volume consideration) is 0.25ct + 1.5% which will work out to about 26.5% cut for a 1-euro payment that is the worst-case scenario currently possible in the App Store as far as I am concerned.

They sell added services but there is no obligation for them and I figure most developers wouldn't care for them.
The most expensive it can get is for international payment with currency conversion: 0.25ct + 3.25% + 2%. I don't know exactly how they do the fee calculation, but for a payment of 1, you would get a cut of about 30% max.
Apple definitely does NOT provide the same service, since they do not allow international payment in their different localized app stores and they don't do currency conversion (they will let the bank charge you for that, which will get MUCH more expensive).

And the stripe number becomes much better with bigger price because of the fixed transaction fee. If you sell an app for 5$, the minimum you would have to give Apple would be 75 cents (the 15% they will allow under certain conditions) when the maximum you would pay to stripe would be 51 cents, or about 10.25%.
Realistically most developers that do not have the scale to operate a fully custom system will address one or 2 big regional markets (with mostly shared language, culture and currency) and they would be just fine with the standard offering of stripe that would bring the cost to around 6.5%.
While setting up everything would be a bigger hassle, for most developers that make enough money to live off it, that's a no brainer. Even if we argue that Apple provides more value than the base stripe and push to 10% cost everything included, for a dev making 100K in sales, it's already "free" 5K coming their way.

Many seem to mistakenly think that Apple allows dev to sell their app worldwide with very little hassle. Not only this is not true since many apps are actually region locked for whatever reason and cannot be purchased in a different market (it happens to me all the time, especially with apps from the US or from Germany) but Apple does not realy simplify the process of localisation, marketing, and proper tax declaration in each relevant market.
Apples gives you pretty sales statement with everything you need, but any decent system will do that, you still need to do the actual work of compliance if you are big enough or care enough to follow the laws.

There are some argument to be made about the benefits of Apple integrated solution but it is only relevant for cheap software that are impulse buys precisely because they were cheap enough. The higher the price of the software the less relevant Apple solution is. Especially considering the inflexibility and dumb "categories" they push everything into. And if you have to push subscription or in-app purchase nonsense like they currently do, the economics are even better for external solution.

Yup, and many universities, recognizing the gaps in public education, already do. But they are extra courses that one has to take in addition to the degree requirements. They make it the student's problem, not theirs, which is indeed how it should be.

A university isn't a place that trains a person. That's what colleges and vocational schools are for. Rather, a university is a place where resources are made available so that a person can learn for themselves.
