I agree with you, I like them.

But this does feel oddly clickbait-y to me.

“Vision Pro weighs just 3 oz more than Meta Quest 3” would be just as accurate and more useful.

Precisely, and that’s why it was even more wild that it wasn’t implemented like that. I think now the right laws have been passed that let DPS do that now correctly. But for a long they they either wouldn’t or couldn’t
We bought a Joybird (or some other not-too-expensive online brand) and it's been fine in our living room (where it sees light-moderate usage). It's a 10 year sofa, at most, and that's without heavy use.

The family room, which gets a lot more use, was from a local furniture store. It was double the price and probably 3-4x as "good". I expect it will last for 20 years.
Ditching Asana over arrogance: They won't let us use the product how we want to
The company’s founders, Dustin Moskovitz and Justin Rosenstein, are contemptuous of their users. They insist we use the product exactly how they think we should – no matter how inconvenient it is for me and the thousands of others who complain. They don't believe in good UI and UX – so I'm finally ditching the product.
I think you're really looking to use kinesis rather than SQS.

SNS+SQS make a pub/sub setup, but every queue subscribed to the event is fully separate, and you wouldn't expect to try to couple the different listening queues together.

You could make all the queues into SQS fifo queues, and put them all on the same sorting group, but I think network time could still break the ordering on different subscribers?

The simple way to use SQS is to have a queue for each message type you plan to consume, and treat it as a bucket of work to do, where you can control how fast you pull the work out

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alper_Gezeravc%C4%B1 - pilot, with some electronics studies.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Villadei - pilot, masters in aerospace and astronautic engineering.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_L%C3%B3pez-Alegr%C3%AD... - pilot, masters in aeronautical engineers. Flew on space shuttle 3 times, second longest EVA, fifth longest duration in space.

The mission is private, but it's sponsored by industry (notably Saab from what I've seen). The astronauts seem to be reasonably professional, and the mission goal oriented. It doesn't seem to be one of these stunts where rich people go to space and pretend to hold a test tube to give a dimension above "I had too much money so I burnt the GDP of a small country and its carbon emissions to spend a vacation in space".

I do not see any real differences other than branding which isn't also offered by a bunch of other clevo resellers. having secureboot and system76 firmware would be a huge benefit and in my view the only value-add but that I you can do yourself because it's FOSS and there is no difference in HW

The comparison is "cheap" if you can speculate through it & even then isn't free. If your comparison is 50/50 on branching then you're going to pay a penalty every time you hit that code path. It's entirely possible that the map operation is going to dominate the check, I'm just highlighting it's not free and it's a good idea to validate the cost somehow first (but also recognize there are applications you're going to penalize without them realizing it).
Do you get navigation through the web? Or other advanced features?
You can also put it in a Dropbox directory.

I actually do both. On one machine I keep it in the dropbox folder, and have Sync turned on.

Importantly, don't do this in multiple machines. Either:
1) Use Dropbox to store and keep your notes in sync across multiple machines
2) Use Dropbox as a backup on one machine, and use Sync on that and all other machines, but on the other machines, only point the Obsidian app to a copy of your vault outside of dropbox.

Otherwise, I could see you ending up in a horrible sync/dropbox update loop that would be a mess.

I do it this way so if Obsidian ever dies as a Sync service, I have a secondary backup. I might even eventually git a github repo for extraness.

> I'm definitely no expert here, but... "Storing" electricity using H2 is relatively straightforward

Never assume that anything is easy at scale.

I remember watching my high school chemistry teacher generate hydrogen and oxygen, and then burn the hydrogen. (And show that a match became more intense in pure oxygen.)

But that doesn't mean it's "relatively straightforward" to do that on massive scale: It turns out the electrodes were a precious metal, and the water had to be fresh water. If you run electrolysis in seawater, you get chlorine gas instead of pure oxygen.

Also, don't forget that it's very hard to compress hydrogen. Without going into the details: Compressing hydrogen takes energy, and keeping it cold (so it stays compressed) also takes energy. (It's hard to compress hydrogen to have the same energy density as propane.) And then, getting electricity back from hydrogen isn't 100% efficient.

If you're not careful, the cost to make hydrogen, store it, and then generate electricity back can be more than what the electricity is worth.

(FYI: Estimates for hydrogen cars put the electricity -> hydrogen -> electricity path at roughly 50% efficiency, compared to electricity -> battery -> electricity, which is > 90%. This generally implies that hydrogen will cost more, per mile, than electricity.)
> appears to have worked

Mostly because someone at a higher level said "Your APIs are not a silo, and if you act like they are you will be terminated".

The communication cost will always be there, the question is one of how is it implemented. In the case of an API it tends to reduce the communication costs when someone is forcing all teams at gunpoint to write clear, concise, and well documented APIs and don't allow them to change said APIs without clear, concise, and well documented rules.

I've worked with teams that communicated via API and started randomly changing shit without proper documentation, and without management being held to the fire over their actions, it's just a new type of silo.
Personally I find nearly every constellation to be an extreme stretch of the imagination, so one interpretation is likely as good as another.

What temperature difference are we talking about between Norway and Minnesota?
Medium and lowest expected temperatures would be interesting.
The actual answer is that if you started a company to make diapers, the current conglomerates in the space would pause stock buybacks with all their free cash flow and just dump product onto the market until you go broke.

Go ahead, try to get a diaper on the shelf cheaper than Huggies right now.

Keep in mind, those 18c diapers CostCo sells are made in the same factory as the name brand diapers, are required to be made to equal or better standards, and still make a profit for Costco, about a quarter of their total revenue. Kirkland products are the loss leaders and don't even lose! That's how insane the profit margins are for name brand companies. That's why the Lays potato chips are $7 right now, even though the potatoes are only a few cents more expensive, even though my friend from highschool who literally owns the potato farm IS NOT getting significantly more money, and making potato chips should be an insanely automated process, to the point that if they claim labor costs could account for the price increase, they are lying. When Huggies sells those exact same diapers in a different box for 6 extra cents each, what is that other than naked greed?

Also brand loyalty is insanely sticky. The vast majority of people cannot afford to buy one box of every brand of diapers to try out which actually is better, cannot trust what the box says because American laws allow you to blatantly lie on the packaging and MAYBE see a small fine. So your average person is going to hold on for dear life to any product that actually "works", meaning you can literally extract the brand value for a couple years with zero repercussions.

> So how would a frozen car become warmer with a blanket, unless some subsystem within it is emitting energy?

Probably a reference to the well established practice of using block heaters[0] on diesel engines in cold climates... which AIUI are effectively just electric blankets. It's why you'll often see what appears to be a short extension cord dangling out the front of a big old truck where it snows a lot.

Obviously on an EV you already have much of the parts necessary to generate the heat, esp. if plugged in to charge... so it could just need the blanket/insulation part.

I love the idea and look forward to diving in. There's an anachronism in the first paragraph though... "check out my MySpace page"? MySpace didn't launch until 2003... Honest question, was this created by someone who was not actually on the web in 1999? Or maybe they're just taking artistic license with the "1999" idea?
> Oddly enough, i don't compiler technology has gotten that much better.

It has, but nowhere near the 3+ orders of magnitude increase we've seen in raw CPU performance. The assembly code emitted by a typical mid-80s C compiler for the 68000 was pretty awful.
+1 insightful to put it in slashdot terms. A reminder to most of us I guess.
Because the competition becomes about efficiency first instead of money.
You hit a lot of great truths here, but "status limbo" can still affect those that are not looking for outward symbols or validation of "status".

Limbo implies a conflict of over/under, and someone may be having an internal conflict:

- Should I donate more?

- I like to drive a car that is comfortable, will people think of me different if I buy a sports car because I want to drive a nice car?

- Should I pay for this dinner for friends because I like them and I can afford to, does that change our relationship dynamic negatively? Am I stingy if I don't?

These things could be in service of outward validation, but even if they aren't, because they are actions that end up happening in the world others can see them, which affects status.

The equilibrium I posit is as such: There are three sides to a triangle:

- Who you are

- Who you think you are

- Who others think you are

When all of those things are aligned and you are in the "center" you've reached equilibrium.
Agreed. We tried a name brand foam mattress and it was awful. Tried an Ikea foam that had good reviews and it was awful. Third times a charm - went back to "springs and stuff" and it's a much better mattress. It was $5000 or more (don't recall), but it's been good for 5 years so far with no signs of sagging or wearing out.

Worth noting, prior to my 40s, I really didn't care. Now that I'm deep into my 40s, every second of quality sleep counts and bad sleep means achey neck and back and stuff.
Cheap leather furniture looks nice initially, but the leather will be an unrepairable cracked or flaky mess in about five years. It's disposable on that timescale. But good leather furniture is so expensive that the yearly amortized cost of the cheap stuff may still be lower. You're probably better off avoiding leather entirely, unless money is no object.

+1. It can become a ramble at times and full-time philosophers seem to hate it. On the other hand, there is a lot of practical wisdom in the first half of the book, and what I consider to be a good payoff if you stick through to the end.
Also, an important note would be that Schemathesis is a property-based testing tool, which does not necessarily imply load testing. I.e. the comparison might not be that helpful as tools have different goals.

However, Schemathesis can use targeted property-based testing to guide the input generation to values more likely to cause slow responses, i.e. it can maximize the response time and at the end, the user can discover that passing `limit=100000000` will read the whole DB table and cause a response timeout (which is a trivial example though)
Because a lot of the people who were wealthy before the pandemic are now even more wealthy.
Each month, the university conducts a minimum of 500 phone interviews across the continental U.S.

Phone interviews are laughably inaccurate in the present day and a count of 500 is totally inadequate to capture what the entire US thinks about the economy. The left keeps trying to tell people that the economy is fine and that everyone is actually very happy about sky-high rents, unending layoffs, and astronomical grocery prices as if we can't see what's going on with our own bank accounts. This strategy of "don't believe your own eyes or ears" is straight out of 1984.

Even worse, they use phone area codes to correspond respondents to area[0]. This survey is stupid.

You have gone on like... three different wild tangents here, none of which contradict anything I've said.

My point was never that startups are helping yuppies save the world by getting yuppies to buy ugly food. My point was, that food being deemed as below standard and thrown out, in any amount, is disgusting in a world that still has food-insecure people in it. That's it. I don't give a shit about these startups. If it is true what they say that they are indeed bridging a gap between food that would otherwise be discarded and well-meaning people who want to change how they consume in such a way that's slightly more beneficial to the world, then more power to them. That's a good thing, IMO. But it is also a band-aid solution to the larger problems of the logistics of food production and distribution, and if anything, it's an extension of one of the bigger problems in itself: that food is not grown, shipped, and sold to feed people, it is done to make money and therefore, if a given group of people exists that it is not profitable to sell food to, they will not be fed. That, to me, is disgusting.

The rest of this is a lot of waffle about how stupid Americans are and I'm just not interested in that as a topic.

Edit: Yeah I just saw your other comment and it's clear you're just here with an axe to grind about people you perceive to be richer than yourself, and, I dunno man, maybe that's important, but to me it's boring. Go find someone else to grind it with.
That sounds a bit hyperbolic. Norway is a long country with multiple climate zones. Average temperature in March in Longyearbyen [1] is 3.4 F. Meanwhile, Embarrass, the coldest city in Minnesota according to Google, averages 8.3 F in January. Cold record in Norway is -60.5F, which is about the same as Minnesota's -60F.

According to folks living in Karasjok, the problem with EVs in extreme temperatures is the 12V starter battery capitulating once you dip below -40F. Petrol cars usually fail to start for the same reason.

> Being a passion project doesn't preclude making a profit. Especially if you're not being stupidly short sighted.

OK. But the comment I responded to call it a passion/prestige project and contracted it with a normal profit driven business.

> This is also why even if Starship's cost targets pan out, they'll likely just charge slightly lower than competing options for the specific payload.

Yeah. SpaceX hasn't said anything, but I tend to believe that they'll move to a capabilities based pricing model where customers pay by the KG and/or m^3. That way they can compete for small payloads while getting paid appropriately for large ones.
In the vein of "any landing you can walk away from", between it (a) successfully deploying the sub-rovers (though maybe that happens slightly before contact?) (b) it communicating enough post-landing telemetry that they can diagnose things, I think that should count as "successfully landing". (One of the actual mission goals was ending up on the ground within meters of where they intended, and it sounds like they nailed that too?)
This sounds like it can get a bit overwhelming. I absolutely abhor notifications on my phone unless they are things that need my immediate attention. Email is a particular pain where it is difficult to impossible to differentiate spam from legitimate communications.

I really do wish banks or visa/mastercard would offer virtual card functionality. It really would empower users to have more control over their money and improve security and privacy.
Good luck to anyone not on the first floor. Or anyone who's windows don't face the parking lot. Or anyone with on-site property management since that's very much not allowed in most leases.
It seems you have it out for the US and Israel specifically, which is certainly a take, but not a very well rounded one. If you were, say, against the use of this particular technology for any military, that would be one thing, but you seem to only want the US DoD to not have it.
I think people have thresholds for things like status. As an analogy, there is a widespread belief that income after a certain threshold doesn't contribute to overall happiness.

Very often you will hear people say "X doesn't matter!" on any number of subjects. Maybe it is height amongst males for dating. Or maybe it is income. Or maybe it is status. But what I believe is happening when people say such things is that the person saying that "X" doesn't matter is past whatever threshold is required for that aspect.

The other thing I consider is that these thresholds are actually percentiles across populations. To completely make up numbers for the sake of illustration, maybe 1% of people expect a status of "doctor" or "lawyer", 10% of people expect a status of "white collar professional", 40% of people expect a status of "gainfully employed", etc. The higher up the chain of percentiles you find your own status, the less you probably think status is important because you are noticing that once you are passed the threshold of a person they start to look for other aspects to differentiate you. Stated another way, if you have status that passes 90% of peoples thresholds, you probably think some other aspect of your character is the most important because you rarely, if ever, feel discriminated against because of your status.

This view suggests a strategy. Rather than going "all-in" on any particular aspect (e.g. seeking high-status primarily), one ought to consider all of the relevant aspects and their thresholds.

Bing chat and chatgpt are complementary to duckduckgo, not substitutes.
The mental model of using SQS and serverless is extremely simple. You put a message in, get a message out, and have your code run.

This is something I’ve been able to teach teams how to do in a few hours. This is the a huge part of the value prop of these services.

Performance and latency have a trade off, sure. But you get teams who have complete ownership over their service. You get services that can scale to millions of requests per minute transparently. Some of the highest scale workloads I know use microservices behind SQS.
It’s all relative. There was competition to compare against, so one can say ‘terrible’ vs ‘good’. Otherwise, it just ‘is’.

Notably, compact transistor radios were quite a marvel - and came out of Japan around that time too. Same with the Walkman, shortly afterwards.

Tools were more commonly American made, and were very heavy - but often durable. German equivalents were notably more expensive but ‘better’. Chinese made tools were originally terrible quality, but by around the early to mid 2000’s that changed.

I forget exactly when, but Mitutoyo (Japanese) started being notably ‘better’ in what - the 90s? Hitachi made power tools are pretty good, but I think that’s been about the last 10 years.

TVs were at first terrible from Asia, then started to get much better. By the 90s, they were pretty much all Asian manufactured no?
