Ignorant question: I don't understand why this type of thing is necessary. IIUC there is nothing illegal about looking at leaked SDK docs and using emulators to contribute a Switch build target for Godot. Then game developers who want to develop Switch games could buy a devkit and build their games for switch, just like how I can build an APK for Android in Unity and load it onto my phone. Is the only thing stopping open source game engines from doing this a lack of time/funding/expertise/interest?
That's just regular church stuff in countries with organised centralised religion. That's why one of the major things the French Revolution did was first sell bonds against Church land, then directly sell off that land. It was wasted on the Church and the state needed the money and more productive use out of it (taxes, because of course Church land wasn't taxed).
I still feel like this is why the penalties for allowing user's data to be leaked should be harsh enough to make it worthwhile for companies take even basic steps to protect other people's data, or even better, to avoid collecting it or keeping it in the first place.

Since that hasn't happened yet, I try to avoid handing my data over when I can.

I understand that this is hyperbole, but in this age-of-big-data, is there a way to quantify this? I'd like to see a histogram of miles from nearest grocery store vs. number of homes/apartments.
This is great. The main reason people change phone in the last couple years has been for battery degradation and screen breakage. Changing those for many people is not an option because is not really possible to get the same quality parts as OEM afterwards.

Really burying the important takeaway at the bottom:

Starting in 2025, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile — funded by the National Science Foundation — will catalog the solar system from the ground...

"It took us 200 years to discover all the asteroids we know to date, about 1.2 million asteroids," Mario Jurić, the Rubin Observatory's solar system discovery team lead and the director of the University of Washington's DiRAC Institute, told Astronomy. "In the first three to six months of Rubin, we will double that."

That's one additional ground based observatory coming online in the Southern hemisphere. If we get our act together and build a lot more of these and other space based observatories we're going to see the true scope of the "shooting gallery". We really need to raise public awareness of this, as a planet based civilization we are taking our chances by ignoring the problem and assuming everything will be fine for a hundred or a thousand more years. All of our efforts at averting a climate catastrophe will be for naught if we get smoked by a rock big enough to fill the atmosphere with particulate matter and drop global temperatures for years afterward let alone anything bigger resulting in global firestorms and tsunamis.
I am not normally one to cry “ableism!” but seriously. If technology allows more people to enjoy nature and trails, awesome. Nature of all places doesn’t need your gatekeeping.
After trying to replace the battery in a 2014 MacBook Pro, doing a repair in a 2020 MBP, and my experience (performance aside) with an M3, I wish I could buy your framework (alas, iOS development).
For some reason this does not seem as exploitative as most of the interview circuit elsewhere.

Over the years I've read/heard plenty of stories (here on HN and elsewhere) of people getting hired for their open source contributions to some stack that some company is using/developing.

So here I am willing to give some slack here to Qdrant. They get extremely qualified candidates who can jump right in, and candidates get told the rules of the game up front. It feels fine?

Surely much better than fake take home tests, whiteboard tests, leetcode onslaught, and 7 layers of interviews.

So if creating a high quality repo is 60-90% of your job interview that seems pretty good. As long as they are not ghosting high quality contributions that is.

I will change my view if they get 20 high quality connectors out of this and noone gets hired from that pool of candidates.
Would you be able to link the repo? I'm curious on your impl

Context: Furbys were the toy for a year or two, and were actively marketed as learning from speech, had an active mic, and did adjust their speech based on what they heard, "learning" to speak English from Furbish. [^1]

It's not so different from the fundamental fear of Alexa/Assistant/microphones that's fairly well diffused now.

Except the Furby actively claimed to learn how to speak based on your speech, and had a built-in feedback loop to make it appear as such.

In retrospect it looks like it more was "shift mix towards English based on how much you've heard" than "add words you heard to your speech patterns"

"Maximizing short-term profits (by cutting costs)" would be more accurate, and yeah, that is a misaligned incentive.
> You need land, and you cannot make them in a factory

The land part is true, but there are people working on the second part. One of the more exciting ones I’ve seen recently is Cover [0]. They do the majority of building in their factory and only the foundation work and assembly is done onsite. But they’ve got enough flexibility to adapt their designs to the lot and they help buyers with the permitting hassles, so it’s a lot more appealing than some of the other kit home options. And, more importantly, their product has a luxury feel, so it doesn’t feel like you’re compromising. They’re focused on the LA area and the ADU market right now, but if that works out, it’s easy to see them getting a lot of funding to scale out their efforts to other markets. I’m hopeful that an approach like this can drive down the cost of new construction, especially when combined with streamlined permitting in places with housing crises where the political motivation will be there to adopt more a more builder-friendly environment.

If anyone is interested in seeing an actual finished project, a luxury real estate YouTuber did a tour [1] of one of their houses recently.

This is funny for me, just coming back from Vietnam where most of the traffic is motorcycles/scooters. All the behavior that is ascribed to bicyclists here is how motorcyclists behave over there. They drive on the sidewalk (when it's possible, because most sidewalks are usually blocked by parked scooters, among other things). They do not stop at red lights, they do not stop at pedestrian crossings (even honking their horn at you to get out of the way).

This is simply how cyclists behave in the absence of incentives to act otherwise.

You don't solve this problem by having more infrastructure, you solve this problem by brainwashing the cyclists and drivers to follow the rules, and enforcing the rules.
Well if we're spitballing, I think a business savvy executive would see a great opportunity cashing in on the good name Boeing built when it was run by engineers. The product will continue to sell for years even as they cut costs, cut corners, and extract as much wealth out of the organization as they can.

Said another way, vampires sucking out the blood and leaving an exsanguinated corpse behind.
I mean it would be dumb not too, there was no reason to say anything else. Since the company actively runs Airbus planes already it's not even as if there's a barrier to entry there.

Even if they had no intention of cancelling any ongoing orders, it'd be ridiculous to not strive for some compensation with this current Boeing hostile climate.
Boeing is already down 19% for the month - on news of the latest MAX issues. Investors have already hit the stock hard, and an operator saying they'll think about other options won't move the needle in the face of the REAL news that has already hurt the stock. If United announces they are cancelling their 200 Max 10 and Max 8s on order, then you can expect to see the stock dip further.
I think there are a few cases when one can legitimately care about "complete" search, especially if embedding minikanren in another language:

- if there's some other criterion or fitness measure which you can't easily express in the relational language, then having the relational program generate candidates based on the criteria you _can_ express, and then filtering or selecting from those based on some other code in the host language can be quite appealing. Then the "complete search" idea makes it natural to have the output from running your relational program be a generator in the host language.

- sometimes, even if a search is in an infinite domain, you can have some other good reason (e.g. a generating function?) for knowing how many values meet some set of criteria. A complete search can be stopped after it has found those values, but a naive use of DFS might not find anything.
So many claims in here with nothing to back it up. May as well be a Boeing fanfic.
This is what we're told but "because pests" is a bit ambiguous.

Ever had rats? Fuckers will climb literally anything and get into literally everything. "Roof rats" are a thing.

Elevation does not deter any pest I'm aware of (bears maybe). Your bed will get bedbugs same as a futon, but in the case of rodents their droppings always fall downward. Keeping stuff off the ground keeps it away from filth.
Maybe it will end up as a 1100 foot tall unfinished eyesore, like that hotel in North Korea.
If the thing was for making gloves, the faces would be for different finger sizes.
"first detected", meaning this asteroid wasn't detected before. They don't claim anything about earlier detection of other asteroids.
This will never happen as this would be a slamdunk case for Airbus/European Countries at the WTO against the US government
Definitely. Though being a 21st century mechanical device it was heavily instrumented and had an electronic control system. Amusingly, our electronic cylinder indicator showed a problem in one of the stages but the old-school mechanical one did not. The ME's told me "your instrument is bad" but when the stage was taken apart...sure enough the head gasket had a hole.

The advantage of the mechanical system is that it would last indefinitely and could be repaired on site. People in India could make most of the spare parts themselves and do the maintenance themselves.

But the advantages of the semiconductor + battery systems were: 1 - no moving parts and 2 - massive economies of scale due to mass factory production of highly uniform parts that could be used in lots of applications. Makes sense that it won -- our approach was superior only in certain applications.
I fly a lot, way more than the average person. I try to avoid the 737-Max, but I'm rather picky about which aircraft I want to fly on.
I didn't mind flying on a 737 Max once they figured out the MCAS stuff, but now I see it's an institutional problem I don't know if I could accept a ticket on a Boeing aircraft manufactured in the past ~10 years.
I read this as it being not that people are incapable. But at scale it's hard to track accidents, so tech needs to be used otherwise it's impossible. To do so at scale inside of a warehouse like Amazon's

It's on the road to improve, as GNOME continues work here. KDE users have reported a cleaner look overall for applications that are not displaying in a way folks would like to see. Fedora Workstation for example, keeps folks to a 100 or 200% scale due to this, but it can be enabled easily enough if on e prefers.

This is an area of active development that will continue to see improvement.
You must not have worked around warehouse workers. They can, but they won't consistently do it to a speed and quality acceptable to Amazon without some oversight. Maybe French workers are unicorns, but this definitely provides the US customer with a lower price.

This kind of enshitification is ultimately an emergent property of public market ownership. You can see the result of a controlled experiment by eating at McDonalds then at In-n-out Burger (one is public, the other private). I'd include PE under the public ownership category, despite the name.

What is the point of your comment about United exploring other options being meaningless b/c they operate a small percentage of airbus'?

This article is signaling that operators are exploring alternatives to Boeing, and revenue could shift from Boeing to Airbus in the future. That's the point of the article.
There's no reason to think that you can't craft unique "prompt flow" without any of mentioned libraries. Standard OpenAI library, "requests" and a long thought about what exactly do you need from prompt engineering in your app it's a time better spent than learning high-level representations and mundane of pretty big libraries. Remember that those will also obscure a lot useful knowledge for you in process and prompt engineering today is not that big of a field to benefit from such (I guess I wouldn't want to build neural networks without helper libraries)

My experience with building around LLMs is that before you reach the prompt engineering phase and begin to craft fancy chain of reasoning flows on your data (if you won't discover a long the way that there are easier ways than LLM), you'll be pulling hairs for days trying to first define what type of a data and in what format to deliver to prompt so your output even falls within your base expectation.
Yes, this will never happen.

Not all transistors have to yield the same. You can use more forgiving design rules to ensure that critical network elements don't fail. There is also post fabrication repair. It all comes down to economics. There is no fundamental problem engineering wise.
> And no, this were no protests against the "far right". It was an attempt to get the only opposition party in Germany banned, which is more than scary.

The protests certainly weren't that. At the one I was at, the speaker made it abundantly clear that the protest isn't even against the AfD in particular (tho you could see lots of signs against them), but for democratic values.

What should be noted is that both the protests and recent calls for a ban of the AfD were sparked by a report [1] of a meeting where some neonazis (including someone quite high up in the AfD) were literally making plans for how to force people with a migration background (including those with nationalities) to leave Germany.

That would require recognition that something is wrong.
Mostly right. We're still in a prototyping phase for sure. The verifier is still in progress, the execution will follow. That said, the main method of the program reads from a file called `bin.svm` which has the bytecode, and which could be generated by any language that can do binary file I/O. There will be more ways to hook into the VM in the future, as well as other SaberVM implementations that compile the bytecode to native binary or Wasm.
There’s been quite a few. I can’t remember the first one I found which was also heavily analog. Here’s another:

The Godot leads basically discussed this during the last conference that they are definitely not in the right zone to take over significant developer share for Unreal or Unity, they hope in new versions they can inch closer and closer.
I think this is good. I rarely watch network TV, and when I do I'm surprised by how maliciously misleading the advertisements often are. Every "only $X per month" claim is undercut by something explaining that it doesn't really apply. I noticed watching the NFL playoffs that Intuit is a big abuser of this advertising technique, constantly claiming their tax filing product is free, when this is not really the case from a normal human point of view.

I would like to see "fine print" completely disallowed for video ads. Don't let people read out loud a claim like "Get your blah for free" or "For only thirty dollars a month", if that claim is only legal because the exceptions are explained in words too small for most people to notice.
Don't forget `sudo apt-mark hold snapd` to prevent reinstalling it as a side dependency.
But it still upgrades to different versions of Windows 10, and as far as I know those tend to turn on things you turned off, such as different kinds of telemetry.
It's a really easy way of justifying a bad decision. "These smart McKinsey people gave me that advice!"

Usually the negative consequences of these decisions happen too far down the line for these managers to be held accountable.
Is there a reason to isolate this QA culture to just the Max production line? I'm concerned about anything they have produced recently.
FTC should consider splitting the commercial and military branches of Boeing. The military part is hopelessly entangled in lobbyism etc. but the commercial branch should be as removed from the gov as possible
FWIW, that is also the default behaviour of zsh's standard completion subsystem for kill. You can try it yourself: "zsh -f" to get a shell without reading a fancy config, start compinit, "kill <Tab>".

You can even disable verbose mode via zstyle, should you be the type of person that likes a simple pid list like bash's completion project provides. To me this level of customization is the main feature zsh provides, but not everyone incessantly turns every knob they see.
In the case of GitHub Actions, it's made more painful by the lack of support for YAML anchors, which would provide a bare minimum of composability.

Furbies just have a simple microcontroller and the code has been released [1].

You're not wrong, but I would say it differently - the C suite has been focused on financialization - how to make their operations more tax efficient and make their SEC filings and shareholder meetings look good.

So they spin off core manufacturing to a supplier and then squeeze them for pennies instead of concentrating on operational excellence and quality.

They whip their test engineers until they pass a product instead of learning lessons.

etc etc. Yes, this is all about incentives.
