I've been an eBayer for almost 25 years, and over the last two years I've started buying more and more items. It's easier to find a "deal" compared to Amazon or other online dealers.

I miss the really old days when it felt like a community and people basically knew the sellers and buyers. It's more of a flea market now, the sellers are willing to wheel and deal, and you get more individual items along with all of the random alibaba crap everyone sells.
I just mean that a systemic problem should be seen across the system. I'm not seeing it.

There's nothing wrong with the FOSS agenda. The problem was Mozilla management spreading the company too thin across too many low-value initiatives, and spinning off innovative crown jewels like the Rust language and discontinuing Rust-based Servo rendering engine. Performance (and stability) is a feature, arguably the one browser-users care about the most, and being the home of some industry-leading tech on those fronts was valuable. More focus on high-value but difficult initiatives, and less on low-value features, should have been the order of the day. Instead it almost feels like the MBAs took over and they forgot they were a tech org.

For the first; Unless your bash config overrides the environment variable you've set it will use $HISTFILE from the calling shell, which is why "HISTFILE=<location>" without the export fixes it. You can test it with:

export HISTFILE=trash
bash --norc
echo hello
exit
cat trash

It isn't just intermingling either, bash may truncate the file depending on how it is configured too. You can see this by performing the same procedure as above but starting with 1000 lines in the trash file, bash will truncate the file to 500 lines by default on exit. It shouldn't happen in your case as you're also exporting HISTSIZE, but it can if you have a lot of multiline history events as bash treats them differently to zsh.

The point wasn't just about HISTFILE really though, very few of the shells own configuration variables are useful in child processes. (LC_* and PATH being the obvious exceptions that spring to mind.)

---

For the second; The doc I linked to above shows how to use zkbd to handle terminal differences in a clean way. Run the wizard, and then you can use the $key array as in $key[Home]. The neat thing to do with zkbd is have the wizard run on startup when it can't find its definitions file, that way you'll get correct behaviour whenever you play with a new terminal type.

Another option is to use the terminfo database¹ directly, if you trust it to be correct for your terminals. "zmodload terminfo", and then the database is available through the $terminfo array as in $terminfo[khome] or using the echoti function².

¹ https://zsh.sourceforge.io/Doc/Release/Zsh-Modules.html#The-...

² terminfo(5) contains the mappings, but they're often far less readable than the $key array. $terminfo[kpp] vs $key[PageUp], for example.
> You are absolute correct, no laws have been broken

Ok so why did you say Intuit broke lobbying laws?

> (yet)

When does Intuit plan on breaking lobbying laws? Which laws? And how do you know this?

> There are also a lot of Senators and Representatives

Which ones? How many?

> that have a larger re-election campaign fund now as well.

Who contributed? How much did they contribute? Was it illegal?

> There are probably elected officials on the IRS committee.

Do you mean the United States Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation? Because by definition yes, only members of congress would be on a congressional committee. But the Joint Committee on Taxation isn’t the IRS, whose employees are not elected, because it’s a government agency, not part of congress.

> They also might own shares of INTU... Even that is not criminal.

Right but acting on inside information would be illegal.

> Verbs or adjective, your grammar doesn't matter.

In this case your grammar matters a lot. If Intuit broke lobbying laws that would be a big deal.

> All you have to do is follow the money.

I don’t have to do anything. You made the claim. The burden of proof is on you. If congress is really in Intuit’s pocket then that should be easy to demonstrate. Otherwise you are needlessly undermining faith in our institutions with tired apathetic cliches.

“Follow the money” is lame because profit alone is no evidence of wrongdoing.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Without that you are just perpetuating toxic rhetoric.

I’m no fan of Intuit but so far your comments have contributed nothing but cliche unfounded anti-government negativity.

Machine learning systems are hard because your system can be badly under performing but still doing objectively great. I've seen systems that produce amazing improvements in core business metrics and then years later some subtle bug in the labeling process is accidentally uncovered and fixing it boosts performance by an additional 20%.

A ton of time in ML is spent on minimizing the surface area for bugs because it can be difficult to even know they exist.
A static point mass in a gravitational field is already at its lowest energy state (a literal ground state if you will). It can only really do one thing, which is to stay. The logarithm of the number of states then is zero. So in some sense it cannot encode information at all. In fact I think more generally speaking, things that are at a global minimum of energy level cannot really be used to encode information (unless you have a mechanism to add entropy w/o increasing energy), because they have one state, and the log of the number of states then gives you zero bits. Probably another way to look at the idea that gravitational potential path-independence means memorylessness means devoid of bits of information.

On one hand, I understand the desire for that, from a sustainable open-data perspective. Any day, Google can decide to close off/enshittify Google Maps (as has already started to happen with location-based ads).

However, until and unless that happens, I still find tremendous value in Google Maps, as do many people I know.

> It's not our duty to help them scale

No, but editing Google Maps also helps a ton of real users, even if Google also happens to profit from it. For the last two decades, Google Maps has been free and used by millions (billions?) of people around the world, myself and most of my friends and family included. More than any other similar service (OSM, TripAdvisor, Yelp, OrganicMaps, county/city GIS, Apple Maps, in-car GPS, standalone GPS, etc.), this has been my go-to mapping & location service, and IMHO it is Google's single best service. Simply put, they do a REALLY good job at it, and it provides unparalleled accuracy and ease of use.

The crowdsourced corrections part of it is huge, and not that different from us contributing our opinions here on HN (also a for-profit corporation), or reviewing things on Yelp/Metacritic/whatever, or providing our Android traffic data, etc. Yes, corporations profit from all of that, but they still provide valuable community services. I've seen local businesses gain customers after I updated their listing, delivery drivers find their way after I corrected misplaced pins, etc. It affects and improves my local communities, even as Google profits. Editing OSM doesn't do that, because nobody I know uses it.

For me this isn't about "duty" or purity of ethics, just about having a useful & good app to find places and get to them. Again, it's a network effect... it is useful to edit Google Maps because everyone else uses it, and edits it, and in so doing we have a accurate global POI database unmatched by any other effort.

Nobody obliges you to use Google Maps. But I'm a very happy user of it, and would gladly pay for it if it weren't free (in fact I wish they offered a paid plan to skip the ads). Do I wish it were a FOSS product run by a nonprofit? Sure. But OSM hasn't caught up in two decades, and it probably won't in my lifetime... if anything the gap between it and Google keeps getting bigger, as Maps gets more and more features and OSM falls further and further behind =/
Of course, the pricing is meant to disincentivise you from doing it. Apple is doing the exact same ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwgpTDluufY ). They don't want to enable DIY repair but they do this because they have to in some areas.

I assume this is also the reason they won't just sell you a battery without a screen.
The difference for me is that your link loads and atlas does not show any sign of connecting after several minutes

Edit: and of course, just as I submit this, atlas decides to show up, with an illegal cookie banner. Any other page takes just as long to load, it does nothing for literally 5 minutes and then loads all at once. I've never seen this behaviour on another site and HN works fine so I'm not sure that's me. Felt is looking like a great option by comparison!
Yes. I discussed this issue with the author of the ComfyUI IP-Adapter nodes. It would doubtless be handy if someone could end-to-end train a higher resolution IP-Adapter model that integrated its own variant of CLIPVision that is not subject to the 224px constraint. I have no idea what kind of horsepower would be required for that.

A latent space CLIPVision model would be cool too. Presumably you could leverage the semantic richness of the latent space to efficiently train a more powerful CLIPVision. I don’t know whether anyone has tried this. Maybe there is a good reason for that.

I doubt that the decline in advertising revenue has much to do with the staff cuts. Advertisers were driven away by bad PR, changes in content moderation policies, and the extension of the Community Notes feature to ads. Mainstream advertisers are rightly paranoid about anything that would harm their brand images.

By "bank" do you mean one of those "customer experience centers" which offers the usual teller services and on-site card replacements, and has maybe 1 or 2 people working as tellers but none of them are loan-officers, and instead of a vault they have a convenience-store-style safe?

"Real bank" branches do still exist - but they aren't as commonplace as they used to be. My nearest one for my credit-union is a good 45 minute drive away, ugh.

Because there is no alternative supplier that could supply the same components in a shorter-than-years timeframe. And they don’t want to halt all production as it would bankrupt the company.

To the HN crowd, this is like AWS becoming broken and unreliable, but your entire build and architecture has AWS baked in. Moving to Azure or Google or whatever would take years of engineering and data migration. So you paper over the holes as best you can to keep the lights on.

> At the high end there were options, but there weren't good mass market options (Tesla helped change that)

Eh? No, that’s not right; it’s almost the opposite of what happened. Before the last decade, there was ~nothing. Around 2010, the Tesla Model S (high end), the Nissan Leaf (mass-market), Renault Zoe (mass-market), VW eGolf and eUp (mass-market) all showed up within a year of each other. The first Tesla mass-market car launched in 2017… kind of; realistically, 2019 (that’s when the ‘standard trim’, ie affordable, Model 3 showed up). In 2019/2020, the first high-end electric cars from conventional manufacturers also start showing up (e-Tron, Polestar etc).
> being able to not carry a laptop charger brick on excursions. It also lets you still have “normal” laptop life left over after periods of high-intensity usage.

This is just the same trade off. For a given level of efficiency you could have put in a smaller battery and offset the weight of a second battery / charging brick that you would then only need when you need many hours of battery life.

> Also generally speaking more efficient laptops are cooler which is generally a quality welcome in a device sometimes used in a person’s lap.

That isn't really part of the trade off either. The faster ones generally don't have worse performance per watt -- they're often better because they have more cores with lower clock speeds. You get 100% more cores with 75% more performance for 50% more power consumption. For the same load they generate less heat. See also "race to idle".

They only generate more heat in absolute terms if you put more load on them than the slower alternative would have been able to handle.

If your dodecahedron were essentially your “resume”, you’d go out of your way to keep it safe from thieves. Besides, stealing one wouldn’t do you much good, as you’d be discovered as a fraud pretty quickly based on the quality of your work.

Having one of these in your possession would be enough to get you in the door, as well as giving your potential employer a quick and easy way to judge the quality of your work. The alternative would be to require a prospective employee to make a dodecahedron in front of you, which doesn’t really provide all that much of a benefit in the long term.
They're quite similar projects from software / AI standpoint. Anyone who is hired for autonomous cars can be assigned on a robot team. An autonomous car is also kind of a robot. Aside from this, I just think that a humanoid robot is a product that Apple is destined to make. A car doesn't make sense to me.
> Manufacturing of both cars and batteries. That's vertical integration.

Tesla is building their own battery packs, but they're still buying the cells from Panasonic, just like everyone else (Apple included) has the option to do.
A good example of a really terrible RNG is in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, and maybe others.

Not only it is completely exploitable for better loot, it also gave rise to "charm table". Some items have randomly generated statistics, and depending on your initial seed (stored in the game save!), there is a limited number of items you can get, and if you are unlucky, you may have a "cursed table", which is effectively a RNG with a really short period, meaning you will never get the best rolls. Not game breaking, but bad for high level play.

Ebay was great. You could sell non local and paid a bit in fees sure but you could still actually get some money back from stuff you had "outgrown".

One of the big units that he cut was to the trust and safety team, including content moderation and hate speech.
