I have an Apple Maps issue I can't figure out how to file a report of.

I live at 123 My Street, and there's a nearby 123 East My Street about two miles north.

If I say "Hey Siri, directions to Home", and I'm north of both of them, it'll direct me to the wrong place. If I'm south, it'll take me to the correct home. (The closest one, it'd seem.) Same thing even if I type the exact correct address into Apple Maps.
I got Blender 2.79b working! So cool!
I'm not an expert at all, but from my understanding, the ideal building is one that has so much insulation that its interior is kept at a set temperature with very little cooling and heating needed.
It's a network effect and most of the good data is on Google Maps. In every place I've lived, OSM has terrible POIs years out of date. Not sure about Apple.

I edit OSM on occasion but it's just so bad it's not really usable for me day to day. On the other hand, it's super rare for a Google Maps listing to be totally wrong (vs the pin just being off by a bit), and their corrections UI is way way better than the OSM editor. It takes me like half an hour to edit a feature in OSM that would take about 1 min on Google Maps.
I did teacher's college in Canada and the teacher who taught math said his biggest surprise when he moved from Europe to Canada is how terrible people were with fraction. I think he asked a barista to fill his cup to 2/3 and they couldn't do it because they didn't know what 2/3 was.
> He approached them first.

Watch the full livestream. The Chinese group approaches the piano first, and one woman even dances along to his playing.

Later a few more people join the Chinese group, one of which appears to be a producer as he's handing out scripts. The piano player approaches the Chinese group to say hi to the new members, and suddenly they have a problem with him filming.

The simplest explanation is the most likely - they're a Chinese TV crew who want to use the piano, but they don't have a commercial filming permit and/or UK working visas.
Wikidata is not meant for random restaurant listings. OpenStreetMap will happily accept them though.
Great, my Firefox on Weston on i3 on XWayland on Gamescope idea is a go (when I get around to implementing it).
That looks like a dichloromethane + MEK mix, but for ABS, acetone works very well and is cheaper and less toxic.
Someday, we might have remotely piloted (with AI!) commercial passenger planes. Probably it won't be accepted for a long time, but no doubt a PE-owned airline will propose it to cut employment and outsource remaining piloting to some lower-wage country, people on HN will repeat the airlines' talking point ('it only has to match the injury rate of in-person pilots!'). I hope you remember to repost your comment then.
Reading your comment as, game companies will die (we have more than enough games though).
The silicon required to implement SMT takes up space, and Intel clearly thinks that they have a better use for it:

The P-core tile is on the smallest, most expensive node, right? So Intel is probably getting more P-core tiles per wafer by removing SMT, and making up for it by giving you more of “other stuff” that comes from cheaper wafers with higher yield. As long as they are honest and you are getting performance that matches your expectations, this is fine.
I had not seen those, no. I had seen the robots shown at https://youtu.be/0MCMB53jlIk?si=QwWegssGG_d6utJL and https://youtu.be/G-WdDeQ4TKw?si=b3IJF2OMcFYKEIRt which I think are likely to be much more useful and practical in a warehouse setting.

IMO, human-style robots are not a good solution for automating a warehouse. They're too limited in terms of how much they can pick up and move, and they're too small. They can't do the highly dexterous operations that currently require real humans, and they can't replace what the big robots can do.

IMO, anyone who is pitching human type robots today is just spinning a bunch of of smoke and mirrors. The real success will come from completely redesigning the whole system around the new robots that will be much more effective and efficient.
An honest mistake isn’t a legal defense.

Almost every car accident is an honest mistake. Does that mean that the at fault driver should not have to fix the harm caused because they didn’t mean to cause it?
A deterministic algorithm that adjusts floating point errors for varying chipsets is more complex, agreed. So current implementations are not terribly simple for arithmetic. That highlights my point, I believe, that the only examples of actual learning, where one can make true inferences about the world without the need to collect the entirety of the internet to build transformers, we have to date are wetware, not software.
Well, apparently they've been putting out deceptive advertising.
Seems like the idea's been around a while https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/App_store
How can that work? I can control both how hard I accelerate, and how far I go with constant velocity. So I can control how much of the clock skew is due to acceleration time dilation. That can't match the speed difference for all possible experimental setups.

For experiment 1, say I accelerate the clocks at 0.1 g for 10 seconds, then drive with constant velocity for 1 hour, then decelerate at 0.1 g for 10 seconds. That acceleration time dilation exactly matches the change in propagation time due to the difference in c? Fine, I'll give you that.

So for experiment 2, I drive at constant velocity for two hours. I've kept the acceleration time dilation the same as in experiment 1, but doubled the distance. If the change in propagation time matched in experiment 1, it can't match now.

Or, for experiment 3, I accelerate at 0.1 g for five seconds, reaching 1/4 of the previous velocity, then drive for two hours. Now the propagation difference is the same as in experiment 1, but the acceleration time dilation is different.

So how is this going to come out "you can't tell" in all three experiments?
The end of "Useless Ruby sugar": On intuitions and evolutions
A counterpoint is that by cycling through IPv6 addresses no one can ever tell who is who by addresses alone. Okay, they could probably tell from the IPv6 prefix because the entire company/household shares it, but people used to ("use to" if you live in a Western country, probably) share the same public IPv4 address too so I find that point rather moot.

Another very strong counterpoint to this is that, you can't really build a truly-P2P network nor self-host a service on Internet, when everyone is behind CGNAT. At some point, as IPv4 resources get scarcer, only corporates will have the ability to host services on the Internet, and I don't think it is in their interests to host Tor nodes, for example...
> So stop building cloud-only device interaction then... Home Assistant users will take a LAN API over a cloud API any day.

Normal users don't want a LAN API though. They want an app that works. They want an app that works, and keeps working, even if their WiFi access point has client isolation, or their phone decides that it doesn't like the WiFi and switches to a cellular connection. They might even expect the app to work while they're not at home, and they certainly won't set up working NAT for it.

That means that the vendor has to implement a cloud API for the majority of users. At that point, it's probably cheaper to only have their app use that cloud API, even if the devices are on the same network and could see each other, simply due to the complexity of switching and maintaining the extra logic.

So the LAN API would be a completely separate feature that would have to be developed separately, and without extra effort, it would likely quickly go stale or break because there are no official use cases exercising it. That means a lot of spending for a small subset of users.

As much as I'd want a local API and would likely avoid most cloud-only devices that I can't somehow convert, I understand why vendors do it.

The externalities are on the new products, not the right to repair, so a true pigouvian tax would be on the sale of products that can contaminate our environment regardless of repairability. (Otherwise, people would still be encouraged to just rebuy the product out of convenience even if it's repairable.)

As I said elsewhere, I'm not saying there shouldn't be a tax, I'm just saying it wouldn't be a pigouvian tax.
Sorry, what do you mean? The phrase "If you're not paying for the service, you're the product, not the customer" usually means that the customer is being exploited in some way, e.g. data sold, advertised to, etc.

How does Apple Maps exploit users? As we've discussed, you must first own an Apple device. Does Apple Maps sell data or advertise or something?
PCs are still garbage hardware, compared to the minicomputers and workstations that were available until the mid '90s.

No spec, no datasheets, no reliable supply chain, poor ESD, poor cooling. No cooperation between the hardware vendor and the OS vendor. Macs, were they still just making shinier NeXT hw as opposed to lifestyle props, would've been a welcome exception.

Don't even get me started on the senescence of what passes for "commercial Linux". People actually pay RH/IBM for this.

tl;dr: Get off my lawn!
Doesn’t this have to do with airport maintenance rather than Airbus?

Slurm is absolutely ubiquitous in the high-performance computing (HPC) community. I believe its only similar competitors in the HPC space are the SGE [1] and Torque/PBS [2] resource schedulers.

I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but I would guess that an overwhelming majority of the Top 500 Supercomputers [3] are running Slurm. And as others have noted, research computing centers in academia all mostly run Slurm. And Slurm also dominates in the DoE national labs in the US.

Oh, and as a [potentially apocryphal] fun fact, the name "Simple Linux Utility for Resource Management (SLURM)" is a backronym from the soda in Futurama! [4]

I'm not sure "bring back" is the right way to put it: it's been haunting us this whole time.

Getting rid of SMT gives you guarantees that certain resources are separated between software threads. That probably makes it easier for them to focus on making sure that other resources can be shared correctly.
How loyalty died in the American workplace
That's extremely disingenuous and ignores the amount of labor required to self-file in the US. Most of the information you send to the IRS they already know - they just can't tell you because Intuit wants to justify their existence.
This is the way.

The deep pockets and scale of the damage Big Corp can do against a small player is extensive.

It's not very useful to have that in a separate place compared to in Google Maps, which consolidates reviews, official business info (closures), traffic, transit, how busy it is, etc.
> While no immediate practical applications exist, the researchers envision enhanced efficiency in micromotors, microscale cargo transport, and materials that can self-assemble or self-repair.

Everyone who has ever written a grant application will recognise this wording.
I guess they’re not doing a great job then? Because of the auto-filing/IRS-backed filing system being developed?
> afaics, the biggest issue with ipv6 is if its active all devices on a network can easily be coaxed to never route traffic anywhere near the router/firewall the network admistrator intended, simply by handing out extra routing info for alternate networks.

This is not unique to IPv6.

ARP spoofing is the v4 version of this attack. RA spoofing is the v6 version of the attack. In both cases, the solution is the same: lock down your L2 by enabling MAC / ARP / RA filtering on your switch.
Billpay Checks are actually Cashier's Checks and are drawn from account numbers that aren't your account, btw. It's one of the reasons it's far more secure to pay any bill requiring a check this way.

Check fraud is massively on the rise. They don't even need a physical check, just the info. They're printing their own checks now and depositing them electronically. They also hire homeless right off the street to go in and cash the checks for them. Homeless keeps $100, the fraudsters make the rest.

If you're using checks the way you say you are, it's only a matter of time before you have to deal with swapping out bank account numbers.
One of the largest failings of the market is everyone refusing to act in their own long term best interests if there is a short term cost.

Do you think you could have deduced that stars are distant suns if you'd lived in the ancient world?

Apparently the only pre-modern people (i.e. pre-Giordano Bruno) recorded as making the claim were Anaxagoras and Aristarchus of Samos, but their ideas were completely rejected by contemporaries:

https://solar-center.stanford.edu/FAQ/Qsunasstar.html

In retrospect, it just seems so blindingly obvious that I'm tempted to believe that I too would have seen through the Aristotelean BS.

But surely there must be aspects of reality that will seem similarly obvious to future generations, and yet I don't feel any insights coming on.

I should say, Aristarchus is the ideal of maximizing information from minimal data:

"Aristarchus of Samos (Samos is a Greek island in the Aegean Sea) lived from about 310 to 230 BC, about 2250 years ago. He measured the size and distance of the Sun and, though his observations were inaccurate, found that the Sun is much larger than the Earth. Aristarchus then suggested that the small Earth orbits around the big Sun rather than the other way around, and he also suspected that stars were nothing but distant suns, but his ideas were rejected and later forgotten, and he, too, was threatened for suggesting such things."
wonder why they didn’t try this without keto.

so far all that can be said is having carbs after keto lowers ldl. unless there is some patented proprietary cookie blend in oreos that does not exist elsewhere.

sadly it seems science is just clickbait nonsense these days. may as well just read the bible for truth and facts at that point.

Microwaves penetrate the interior of objects (outside of metal) that are in their Faraday cages, leading the internal temperature of those objects to rise dramatically. Blast chillers work like reverse ovens, from the surface to the interior.
Self checkout as we know it today sucks. Imagine if you could do it based on RFID tags and just walk past with everything still in your cart. Of course, you'd have to make sure that you don't get double billed for anything, and you don't get billed for anything that someone else has nearby.

But if you got properly billed for only the things in your own cart, and that RFID scanning process was quick and easy, then I'm not sure it would suck so bad.
Is it though? Without products there are no sales at all. A compelling enough product will sell with no marketing/sales effort, so sales is really only whatever that baseline is + (extra units sold from sales and marketing efforts - cost of sales of marketing). I would think this is actually quite hard to measure, you also have to normalize against many external market factors and behavior of competitors.
Good point. The used market would likely be much more active and valuable.

Wrong, dark patterns are acceptable. They've been accepted for decades, as the OP said: these gym businesses have been like this as long as I've been alive too. Clearly, society accepts these business practices, or else an entire industry wouldn't employ them regularly.

Google Maps recently changed our street name... to something that doesn't match what's on the sign (the word that was at the end is now at the beginning). We've had multiple failed deliveries because there are multiple "nearest neighbour" matches while the correct match doesn't show up for most searches. Submitting a report hasn't resulted in a response. Argh. So much of tech seems to be a constant uphill battle wasting time these days.
Yeah, it's amazing what people have done with games whose source code they don't have. I may look into reverse engineering certain aspects. I can already spot certain algorithmic inefficiencies just from the disassembly (e.g. unnecessarily using strings instead of item IDs), but those probably aren't the main bottlenecks.
Would that compel them to launch their competitors' products into space? Seems like they could just say "build your own rockets".
I think the issue here is maintenance rather than manufacturing
Apple should not publish false information that unfairly damages other companies' business. When they do so, they should compensate those other companies, and accept that as a cost of being in the publishing-information-about-other-companies business. If Apple can't afford to publish accurate information about every business then yes they should publish only information that they've specifically confirmed, or refrain from publishing at all.

Why would you spend your time and effort to support a trillion dollar company like Apple, or restaurant owners who don't care about their own business? Both these parties can afford to do it themselves.
The article mentions all of these potential solutions and how they failed in this case. Maybe I'm wrong for taking the article at face value, but they do at least speak to these points directly.
They're labeled great wonders by other people, but that doesn't make them universally wonderful. To them and others, they are just trees, rocks, and reefs.
For real. I did some reading to try to understand the rationale. I _think_ Free File is a general program which lots of "services" can participate in, including TurboTax. Direct File is akin to (but maybe not actually the same as) a IRS offering in the Free File program.
No, because I think microwaves heat in a very different way from radiant heat gain (or loss) such as in an oven or this chiller you're talking about. The internal water is heated directly.
Sure but I can't even figure out how to use Apple maps... It doesn't seem to be a website I can open on my phone or Linux computers? When I go to the apple maps it appears to be some advertising for apple devices (of which I own none...).

Google maps can be used from all platforms...
A 1040EZ covers that case and filing it is the cost of the stamp and envelope.
Honestly it might not. It sounds like Intuit already has prepared advertising that fulfils the requirements from threads here.
I’m a pilot, not an A&P, but I’ve seen what happens when a loose screw goes where it shouldn’t on an airframe. You should be very concerned about pieces of metal falling off of planes and going where they shouldn't. Its enough of a worry that just about every airport has procedures and a significant budget for managing FOD. Keeping screws (and other FOD) off the runway and taxiways is a multibillion dollar industry for a reason.

A non-required screw that backs itself off and falls off in flight is a maintenance procedures failure (torque or locking compound was ignored). Screws don’t just fall off. Ignoring it because it is non-required is dangerous because it could possibly indicate that screws are being installed incorrectly, including required ones.

Qualified mechanics certify every single non-experimental plane as safe. Yet somehow, planes still crash for mechanical reasons.
But why not have more buffer in their supply chain so that when someone notices missing bolts, or bolts need to be replaced, they have them?

There are clearly deep quality problems that have gone on beyond the door plug. Something is just off in the culture that it's completely normal to just have a lot of bolts missing, because it's within tolerance. If bolts come loose in non-visible places, that's what inspections are for.

The culture is apparently "eh there's missing bolts and it's too big of a pain to schedule and order them" for something that, in this plane's case, took minutes to fix.

That's a symptom of a very broken culture

>I'm an android user, and it kind of shows a blue "cone of uncertainty" when it isn't sure which way its pointing, and occasionally asks either to move the phone in a figure of eight or to point at nearby building to calibrate.

Apple products and animations generally have more smoothing and hysteresis; my presumption is that the accuracy is hidden from the user in an effort to make sure that the arrow doesn't fluctuate wildly, whereas the android UI is more likely to show artifacts from the 'noisy' GPS/IMU fusion and inherent magnetometer inaccuracies.

'Slow arrow' was one of the things that kind of drove me crazy in iOS back in the old days now with faster hardware I notice the 'twitchy' arrow more on other platforms.

tl;dr: Most modern hardware is pretty equal as far as being able to determine its' place in space and time with decent accuracy now , but not all navi software is equal in terms of dead reckoning accuracy and pose estimation given the current data and the user expectation of noise filtering while handling the phone.
A portion of my hypothetical comes from my actual lived experience over the past year. I don't do drugs, I took on debt to pay for food and to avoid losing my means of transportation and possessions, and the next step for "a smaller dwelling" is my car (even rooms in shared houses have become too expensive).

My stance at this point is that if someone, personally, doesn't have a job (with training, if I'm not qualified) lined up for me so that I can work (work!) my way out of my situation - respectfully - they shouldn't be talking.

If the problem is that there aren't enough real jobs, or not enough capital to hire sustainably, or that industry and the government have dropped the ball on education and training... Those are not personal problems. If I'm lucky (lucky!), I'll find a way to work around it all, eventually. But there are too many people in similar positions.
The suggestion that citizens have equal access to communicate with their political reps as corporations is also laughable.

To prevent that, you can write tons of test cases. IPv6 notation parsing and generating test cases are oodles of fun.
So nothing goes in the backlog? How do you keep track of ideas that might make sense but aren't high priority right now? If you have an idea to do X, and then over 2 years you find lots of customers asking for it and it's a few weeks work, how does that get captured somewhere?

If they are in the same city you could ask the city to rename your street 123 My Street South or something?
