One of the many reasons to do household accounting. It's not even about making/keeping a budget, but simply about knowing where your money goes. It's a shame that many solutions are in turn also subscription based, so I don't have any good recommendations (I use YNAB Desktop, which was killed off a few years ago and replaced with a SaaS solution that's always increasing in price). But having insight into how you spend your money is such a powerful tool, it's worth doing even if it means manually entering stuff into a LibreOffice Calc workbook.
Now it makes sense to sue OpenAi for including that paper in the training set.
I'd rather work on interviewing to get a job than whatever that is.
the main difference is webp is a last gen video format (vp9) adapted to support images, while jpeg-xl is an image format first. This may not sound important, but actually matters a lot because videos and images are viewed very differently and therefore have different constraints to optimize for.

1. A frame of video only is viewed for 1/30th to 1/60th of a second. Quality standards are lower than for an image which will often be looked at for several seconds. One example tradeof is webp always has chroma sub-sampling which is a fairly major quality tradeoff.

2. image sizes vary a lot more. Images sizes range from 32x32 pixels to enormous. Videos are pretty much always between 360p and 4k (webp supports 16k by 16k vs 1 billion by 1 billion for jpeg-xl)

3. videos don't care about progressive loading, but it makes sense for images (especially for users with slow connections)

4. video formats care about encode time because a videos are massive. Image formats are fine with 100x slower encode if it makes the file smaller and decode is faster

Yes, because often they are in control of all the evidence and/or can create evidence.

In the 90s, I caught the technical head of a certain very large telecoms firm logging private IRC chats and then blackmailing the users, some of whom were gay and not out. When I made it clear I knew what was going on and that it needed to stop this person went on to fake logs of me hacking into said firm and sent them to the dean of the university where I was studying and there was a serious attempt to have me expelled and talk of criminal charges. I was only saved by the heads of the computing department who vouched for my good character and independently proved that the logs were fake.
> I systematically eliminated all sugar and artificial sweeteners, observing the effects of each over a 20-day period.

> That said, I come from a family where sugar is deemed public enemy number one. We used to heavily rely on artificial sweeteners, which I believe led to my low tolerance after 20 years

I don't react well to artificial sweeteners either. Stevia, thankfully, is a natural product (depending upon how you qualify the alcohol-based extraction process). My buddy's wife actually grew some, dehydrated it, and gave it to me in powdered form. I wouldn't recommend using it in this fashion as it was particularly herbal-tasting and studies have primarily been conducted on purified, extracted forms but it was reassuring to learn firsthand that the product I'd been using for years was only one step away from a plant that I could grow in my own backyard.

If you had a bad experience I would check to see whether what you used was real stevia extract or mass-market adulterated "stevia".
Design Questions in the Software Liability Debate
An insightful take on the decades long debate.

Maybe the problem isn't the market for an EV truck, but rather for one that only has a range of 300 miles and costs $10K more than the gas equivalent at every trim level. What this really says is that the early adopter market was smaller than they expected and the price + limitations aren't yet palatable for a more general audience.
I had a good experience while learning Ruby by asking on the Ruby discord channel. Everyone was supportive and there's a core group of highly knowledgeable users. A lot of people ask for help there, and it's a very positive environment.

Additionally on most sub-reddits I've seen people get good constructive feedback on their code.

If you can find such discord channels where the environment is non-toxic (I doubt any coding oriented ones are) and the users are active, that could be the ideal option.

From the quoted article:

> «However, you’ll often hear from people that Tokyo isn’t “that expensive,” which isn’t false, depending on your location and lifestyle. Indeed, the Deutsche Bank report lists the average price for a “typical” Tokyo two-bedroom apartment as US$1,903 (¥203,730)».

A random look through apartments in Shibuya-ku (https://apartments.gaijinpot.com/en/rent/tokyo/shibuya-ku), one of the most expensive wards in Tokyo, has turned up a 3 bedroom apartment for JPY 441,000 (~ USD3k) a month. This is less than the cost of a 2 bedroom apartment in the Sydney CBD today.

Most importantly, these are rental prices. My point remains – house prices in Japan are low, and the cost of living for an expat does not translate into local housing costs.
Interesting. After 2 decades of freelancing I have a very different experience, being: The best clients always pay, no matter if you have a contract. The worst clients don't pay even if you have the best contract in place. They don't pay and go to court and try everything to screw you over. Does a good contract help in court: yes. But better yet: only work t&m, abort any client relationship as soon as it is starting to smell fishy and write off the last month if necessary. Lowers the laywer's costs and your own level of anxiety.
Indeed. How can they not be mandating MFA?
> Consider everything that is network connected as compromised. Everything.

This doesn't seem like useful advice.

If you know something is compromised, you're going to want to stop using it and build a clean system etc. You can't just do that continuously the instant you've built the new system.

Likewise, how does monitoring even work? Every device and app wants to phone home to some random server. The connection will be encrypted and even if it wasn't it could be some arbitrary custom protocol you'd have to spend several hours to reverse engineer. You could just block them all but that will cause massive breakage and possibly impair security when the thing you're blocking is whatever thing's security update mechanism.

What's a solution someone can actually use?

That's a little harsh.

You're not wrong that seeing a local tradition play out that you don't feel part of can feel unwelcoming sometimes, like not being on the inside of an inside joke. But that's not the same as gatekeeping, and I need carry no brief for HN to say I really don't recall seeing that around this, at least.

It's a tradition of mourning that does no one any harm. I hope there should be charity enough to spare for that in almost any heart.
God forbid something new and interesting might happen! Hopefully it isn't food poisoning though. History has shown that as soon as we learn the market optimizing mechanisms behind something, we find a way to make it boring (movie sequels, reboots, MCU anyone?)

> Until the 1950s, Camemberts still had grey, green or in some cases orange-tinged moulds on their surface. But the industry was not fond of these colours, considering them unappealing, and staked everything on the albino strain of P. camemberti, which is completely white and moreover has a silky texture.

Give me the orange camembert please.

The schematics for the multitap are out there in the SNES developer manual [1]. I actually made one on a breadboard for fun [2] and eventually turned it into a PCB. It's a pretty simple circuit with an analog mux and some tri-state buffers.

I prefer a nondestructive approach. I set up an ATTINY85 clone to serve as a DIY USB adapter. Just solder a controller extension cable to the microcontroller to donate the right port, and you have everything you need. You have enough GPIO pins and the requisite 5v logic to make it a great fit. Mine was made for NES controllers, but it uses the same shift logic as the SNES controller, just with fewer buttons.
If you use macOS + iPhone, a Shorcuts based approach using Numbers is simple and powerful enough for your budgeting needs.

Shortcuts being the simplest way to add a row on to the budget sheet (i.e transaction) from iPhone homescreen or macOS Spotlight.

Not sure about putting DBs on CephFS directly, but Ceph RBD can definitely run RDBMS workloads.

You need to pay attention to the kind of hardware you use, but you can definitely get Ceph down to 0.5-0.6 ms latency on block workloads doing single thread, single queue, sync 4K writes.

Source, I run Ceph at work doing pretty much this.

The problem is that LLM as a role for drawing auxiliary lines is too inefficient. It is hard to imagine people deploying a large number of machines to solve a simple IMO problem. This field must be in the early stage of development, and much work remains unfinished
Not really. My impression was that people just felt it was a cleaner experience having everything in the app. Objectively it didn't have a significant effect on load times either way, but I could see a couple of potential reasons that could make sense, like leaving around open browser tabs that would have to be manually closed. Also some may not know how to quickly switch back to the previous app.
As well as giving the option to just open by default in browser, we do also now provide a button along with the webview to open a given page in the browser, which seems like a good balance to me. That way if you want it in browser for bookmarking or what have you, it's easy to get that, but if you just want to take a quick glance, there's no need to leave the app.
The explanation of the rationale for this method existing is a good primer on the footguns of go's "type system".

It could be used, in my opinion, as a litmus test for go developers: if the explanation does not make complete sense to you, then you should think twice about implementing anything substantial (basically any use of interfaces or pointers) in golang (myself included)

NFS is an excellent point!

NFS (now that I think about it!) -- brings up two additional software engineering considerations:

1) Distributed file system protocol.

2) Software that implements that distributed (or at least remote/network) file system -- via that file system protocol.

NFS is both.

That's not a bad thing(!) -- but ideally from a software engineering "separation of concerns" perspective, this future software layer/level would ideally be decoupled from the underlying protocol -- that is, it might have a "plug-in" protocol architecture, where various 3rd party file system protocols (somewhat analogous to drivers) could be "plugged-in"...

But NFS could definitely be used to boot/run Linux over the network, and is definitely a step in the right direction, and something worth evaluating for these purposes... its source code is definitely worth looking at...

So, an excellent point!

I've actually created a business model based on it.

The vhs rental stores were dying left and right. The one i looked into got most of its money from snacks and drinks. The subscription moddel was 75 cent, renting a movie would drop from 3-4 euro to 75 cent. (only 1 at a time) You could keep it for a week, then you would get a call if you could please return it.

The existing customers knew vhs rental was not really a thing anymore. Many visited just for a chat.

I figured one could guilt people into keeping the sub. I wasnt looking to make a profit, just curuous about the puzzle.

Im not even ashamed. haha

Trial and error? I think most animals have an instinct of what they should eat when. I think humans have that too, but kind of forgot about it, or at least we are out of touch with these things and mostly judge intellectually.
In many ways, an insightful piece. Trust is one thing but then also:

"Trusted computing creates a no-go zone where programs can change their behavior based on whether they think they're being observed."

I suppose you have a point that warehouses don't exactly attract top talent. Ontario labour law is abundantly clear that employers must not terminate employees over matters related to protecting health and wellbeing. It even requires employers to ensure that the workers are well aware of that fact. This is going to cost Bezos a fortune when the government finds out what happened. But when the head shows up rotten, what can you do? I expect a sharp mind like yours would never even entertain the thought of working there, right?

By the time the Cray-1 was designed, Seymour Crays children where in college. This might have applied to when he was designing the CDC 6600 when the children were younger. I know this because the Cray kids were a couple years ahead of me in high school. There are a lot of stories like this put out by John Rollwagen to build up Seymour's design creds.
It doesn't need to be 'xor' pairing between automated detection or a doctor. It can be both.

There's interesting work happening under places like ACEMID [0] on building models that boost detection accuracy. It's a research project so I have no idea what the final process will look like, but dropped in for a scan the other day, was imaged by a rather neat 360 camera rig [1], then had points of interest flagged for review by a dermatologist.

I don't think it's a stretch to envision a process that lets clinicians use more accessible/lower cost imaging devices to help focus their checks, particularly when you consider the ability to compare imaging across scans.

Yet most 3rd party home assistant integrations are maintained by a single person in their free time. The devs targeted by Haier even maintains TWO integrations in his own free time.

It doesn't have to cost the manufacturer one full-time employee to maintain a relation with the home assistant community. Just let the community do the work to develop integration for your products for free! Just look at how companies like Asus maintain a relationship with open source router firmware maintainers for example. Asus spent a minimal effort in that front, yet the community is very happy and keep recommending Asus routers to their friends and family. It's basically a win-win relationship.

All Haier need to do is sending an email to the maintainer of the open source integration asking them to not polling so heavily and they'll usually comply! It shouldn't take a dedicated employee 40 hours per week to send that email. Taking down an integration should be the last resort because it burns the goodwill of your community. The first step should be reaching out to the dev and work something out.
Hi. Thanks for the feedback.

Its just a quick POC made in a day. I am still working on integrating a backend and optimizing the queries. Also, it currently uses free APIs with small usage limits. Plan to upgrade soon.
I taught in a private school for a while. In England and Wales the law says that your employment “contract” is simply the verbal, written, or implied agreement to work there and the document enumerating the details — the written statement of employment particulars which is basically the thing you or I would call “the contract” — doesn’t have to be supplied until up to two months after you’ve started work.

My employment particulars came the day of the two month deadline. They included a clause that said that the school had the final say on any claim brought by a pupil or their family against me for loss or damage and that any compensation would automatically be deducted from my salary. Unsurprisingly, I did not agree to this clause and did not sign the document! The school also refused to negotiate and I worked there for two years in a kind of contract limbo.

I’ve gone back to being a SWE now. I was lucky to not be beholden to one industry like my fellow teachers were. I can completely see how a sub-postmaster, without a fallback career, can get cornered into accepting some ludicrously unfair terms.

10 Gbps is increasingly obsolete with very low cost 100 Gbps switches and 100Gbps interfaces.

We're "incredibly servile"? Seriously? Go soak your head.

We're "incredibly servile" because of the lack of social safety net programs, healthcare being tied to employment, and wages being so shit compared to CoL that most Americans are about a paycheck or two from being broke. And there's little we can do about it thanks to Citizens United.
It’s news because the regulatory approval is very different between the US and the EU.

Being the first of a kind in the US means you go through a more in depth process with FDA (DeNovo). It’s a big achievement for the manufacturer. After that other manufacturers have it much easier to launch a similar product.

The problem is that using LLM as a role for drawing auxiliary lines is too inefficient. It is hard to imagine people deploying a large number of machines to solve a simple IMO problem. This field must be in the early stage of development, and much work remains unfinished. A reasonable point of view is that the search part should be replaced by a small neural network, and the reasoning part should not be difficult, and does not require much improvement. Now is the time to use self-play to improve performance, treating the conclusions that need to be proved in plane geometry problems as a point in the diagram and the conditions as another point in the diagram. Then two players try to move towards each other as much as possible and share data, so that the contribution made by each player in this process can be used as an analogy for calculating wins and losses in Go, and thus improve performance through self-play.
I'm not them, but I don't think there's any general-purpose programming language in existence that prevents developers from implementing async runtimes and using them in their libraries.

So yes, if your whole reasoning is "other people might use async and then I won't be able to use their code", then you'll be waiting indefinitely for the magical programming language that's both fully featured for your work and does not have any portion of the ecosystem implemented in async code.

I highly doubt removing corporate sales would be an appreciable benefit to Apple. If anything it may be a detriment. Consumers in the US (and globally) cannot afford nor do they prefer Macbooks. Just because they are common in Silicon Valley does not mean they are common elsewhere.

Additionally, what is your data source? For US-focused statistics I have found this[0], which is quoting Statistica, which says Apple is a firm 3rd at 24%, 3% below Dell and a whopping 11% below HP. However it is from 2021, so more recent statistics are always a benefit.

Jesus was really annoying to many, many people when he was going around preaching to large crowds. The fact that he was viewed as a rabble rouser and demagogue played a significant role in his death. (Along with proclaiming that he was the Son of God).
