The problem is not the current size of the universe is big, it is that it is expanding with time. Aliens will still have to contend with the same physics laws because they are universal (in the tight meaning of universal here). We can actually model the recession velocity of emitted photon from a source (will be higher that speed of light) depending on our universe model.

To have aliens that are near enough so that they made contact with us ( through some signal not by abduction of humans) would mean they they very close on cosmological scale that they must be living within our detection capabilites. And with all our searches for life so far nearby we couldn't see a signal for unique civilization signature.
> Much older than that are the IRS Master files: the US tax system runs on IBM 7074 assembler although I think the actual 7074 hardware is long gone.

Looters are exactly why we should raise it. Protect it from unscrupulous people.
It's a worrying trend, especially for those of us in startup land. With the Figma deal following through and less companies going public, the assembly line funding model is showing some serious cracks.

Hope it's just temporary.
My brother in Christ, the video itself gives other examples than text editors and games and weather apps!

The big one is Adobe and the lockin using Adobe products. I wouldn't say there is an industry standard replacement for Photoshop with the features people need, that is interoperable with others using Photoshop, and without a subscription fee otherwise people would already be using it!
Also implies a certain level of sophistication, since it was able to track the drone. It seems unlikely to have been radar, but perhaps an ability to follow radio signal?
Just paying people’s rent is cheaper and has substantially better outcomes.

The solution to homelessness is to give people homes.

Shelters are a major reason why there are street homeless. They are dangerous, dirty, loud, and the use of them is likely a parole violation in and of itself.

Not sure why you insist on this, but you are counting wrong:

"Comissioners are nominated by member states". That's it. Yes, the commission president is the one that presents the list of commissioners to the EU parliament, but the member states (effectively the heads of national governments) are nominating the actual candidates.

*Exactly" the same as secretaries/ministers on the national level, who are also nominated by the heads of their respective national governments. Which is fitting, because the commissioners are more or less the EU ministers, i.e. the heads of executive agencies. They are no more or less removed from the voters than their national counterparts. I really don't get what your problem is.

Or you start from the other direction: Voters select their (EU) parliamentarians, parliamentarians appoint the commissioners. End of story.

The vote of the EU parliament is hardly a "rubber stamp". The list of commissioners is negotiated with the parliament and there have been various occasions where the list had to be reshuffled because the parliament would not accept a certain nomination.
Let me know once you build it. Cheers!
What are some top indie games you would recommend?
Yes, that China. Also the China that makes most of our robot vacuums.
The reason you don't see any innovations for homelessness comes entirely down to city planning and code restrictions.

There isn't a reason why you can't have capsule hotels or shared dorm style housing other than the zoning boards saying no.

Back in the day, boarding houses used to take care of this but we're quietly phased out during the post war boom. As we revert to the mean again, this type of living is going to become normal.
There are organisations that are capable of reproduction (e.g. EleutherAI), but yes, you're right, not having the data is largely irrelevant for most users.

The thing that bothers me more is that it's not actually an open-source licence; there are restrictions on what you can do with it, and whatever you do with the model is subject to those restrictions. It's still very useful and I'm not opposed to them releasing it under that licence (they need to recoup the costs somehow), but "open-source" (or even "open") it is not.
I also downloaded and ran the game, did you manage to find out any information about it?
Old AWS used to be Xen, Nitro afaik uses customised VMM and I don't recall if it's not a custom OS or hosted on top of something.

Azure is Hyper-V underneath IIRC, a custom variant at least (remember Windows Server Nano? IIRC it was the closest you could get to running it), with sometimes weird things like network cards running Linux and integrating with Windows' built-in SDN facility.

Rest of the bigger ones is mainly Linux with occasional Xen and such, but sometimes you can encounter non-trivial VMware deployments.

You think watching porn is equally destructive to engaging in prostitution? I'd hate to see what kind of porn you're watching.
Yep - one of those "it's possible but do we want this" situations. Something feels a bit slimy about government-approved browser tokens. Like,

"We're sorry, your revocation appeal is taking longer than expected due to ongoing unrest in your area - please refrain from using internet enabled services like ordering food, texting friends, uploading livestream videos of police, giving legal advice, finding directions to your employer - a nonprofit legal representation service, or contacting high-volume providers like the ACLU. Have a nice day!"

But it could just be "Please execute three pledges of allegiance to unlock pornhub"
Google likely wouldn't be allowed either, I mean they may not operate a store like Amazon but I highly doubt the idea of searching "robot vacuum" and iRobot always being the top or in a special box would fly.

I mean there is Microsoft who would have the money but it just doesn't really fit into anything they are doing.

Dyson? Sony? But yeah a non US company also opens up other questions that may block it.
> I emailed every dealer within 220 miles of my location. [...]

This is the way when it comes to car shopping.

When I was buying a Subaru BRZ back in 2016, I did the same thing, though I only chose the 3 closest dealers. One didn't respond, one quoted a price at MSRP, the other quoted at $2K below MSRP and included about $1K of addons for free.

Not sure why that third guy seemed desperate to sell the car, but I went there that weekend, took it for a test drive (Pretty sure I was only the second person to ever test drive it, since it had only 4 miles), signed the paperwork, and drove it home.

Though tbh, I really wish the whole dealership model would just fuck off. I personally can't stand the whole haggling song and dance. The price should be the price and that should be it.

Is that not true at other companies as well?
That's a good point. Are you referring to the out of date cuda libraries?
Excellent point -- goodwill in a hyper-high demand dev community is invaluable.
I'd guess that they saw value in Alexa/Echo/Ring integration. It makes a lot of sense, given their other moves in home automation.
"Every language" sounds like a massive stretch. Then again I come from a country of 200+ different languages, so maybe my expectations are a tad higher than most.

Unfortunately, given the reliance on machine translations, I don't expect it to be a useful learning tool for most of those languages any time soon.

As an aside I'm curious about your voices, especially for highly tonal languages like Yoruba that also don't necessarily have a lot of easily trainable material available.
Amelia Earhart's long-lost plane possibly spotted in Pacific by exploration team
Roborock is miles ahead of Roomba.
I think the value proposition they're offering is a carefully integrated system where everything has been thoroughly engineered/tested to work with everything else, down to writing custom firmware to guarantee that it's all ship-shape, so that customers don't have to touch any of the innards, and will probably just treat them as a black box. It seems like it's chock-full of stuff that they custom-built and that nobody else would be familiar with, by design. If that's not what you want, this probably isn't the product for you.
Not true either. The original Kolmogorov complexity is for finite strings. Plus, the program would need to store that for whichever special strings you choose you will use this function but for other ones not. That will be a giant table that is part of your program.

That's also a different point than the parent's. Seems they're saying if you were to specify pi as the limit of some expansion that describes the physical process of photons arriving in some area, then that specification's information increases with more terms added. Pi, being almost random by every statistical measure, has as much information as a random string, in fact, in any normal conception of information. You cannot wave that away by machine manipulation tricks or by defining a new constant, and this is borne out also by the parent's physical argument that in reality there are no low-complexity universal constants, but that there may be limits to information density (in space and time).

Continuous physics can be a manipulation of limiting quantities without being literal.
> And you don't have any problem with laws being ambiguous enough that you can't tell beforehand whether you're breaking the law?

As long as you can tell beforehand whether you're getting close to breaking the law this is fine. The closer you get to possibly breaking the law the more exculpatory evidence you should be collecting to present to a court.

> To say that its expected and even a good thing for our elected officials to pass ambiguous laws and our unelected courts to determine what that should mean with little to no input from the public is very confusing IMO. The government is there to work for us, not to define rules and enforce punishment in ways that are completely outside our democratic process of elections and representation.

Sure. So what's your alternative? No laws at all? Only laws that can be precisely defined in a completely non-ambiguous manner (good luck with that [1])? I favor making sure that people know about jury nullification prior to becoming jurors. And also favor elected courts (which exist in many jurisdictions).

[1] - I argued elsewhere that even the Constitutional requirement that the President by 35 years old or older is highly ambiguous (as per how the length of a year is defined, leap years, sidereal years, age at running for office, election to office, or assumption of office, etcetera), but hasn't been adjudicated because we haven't had any edge cases. Genuinely non-ambiguous laws don't exist, because every term can be argued over.
Because they have more mass they do not get as hot for equal stopping force. However they generate the same amount of heat, it is just spread over more mass so it isn't as hot. That is also their downside: once they get hot they don't dissipate it as well and so they get brake fade faster in typical use.
An electrical issue could cause a gauge to misreport. E.g. vibrations cause a bad ground.
Biggest problem is "cleanup". Lack of availability of basic hygiene almost guarantees health hazards and extreme cleanup costs for storage facility owners.

I wonder if any of this is related to iRobot spinning out of MIT Robotics. If the people running the show were spending too much time and energy on robots and research, and not enough on the economics of manufacturing the product and managing their market.

> First, I don't understand how paying for health insurance means they are trying to get the most hours out of their employees

I'm not OP, but my take: the health insurance cost of hiring a driver is fixed, regardless of how many hours per week they drive. Therefore, the more hours they drive, the more the employer's "bang for their buck".

> Second, it its truly a safety hazard then it disincentivizes employers from doing it.

Health and safety regulations are written in blood, and exist precisely because employers need to be forced by law to maintain safe working conditions for their employees.
And in the markets it did exist, the carrier options were limited, usually to the worst carriers, because those were the carriers who were desperate enough to accept Apple's terms.

16 seems ridiculously old for such a ban. Especially if sites like YouTube count as social media (and I can't imagine how it wouldn't, given most of the content is identical between the short video platforms).
Hired a friend and the startup later failed.

Relationship was fine during the startup and after the startup failed but we did another business together and he did some d*ck moves there. Mainly out of being young and inexperienced.

We're still friends but I don't think I'd do business with again.

I did some other ventures with friends and they turned out fine but nothing life changing.

I'd do it again and I'm open to do business with friends.
If your friends are honest people you should be able to do a civil business with them. If they can't, I'd rather not have them as friends.
Great news.

Hopefully this causes bitcoin and crypto to crash all the way below $10,000.
Roger Penrose struggled with maths at school
"I was slow. I was very slow and I was not quick at doing arithmetic. I remember particularly, when I was in Canada during the war years when I was about eight. The teacher there, she had little mental tests and you had to do a mental arithmetic – add seven, multiply by three, subtract four. I would simply lose track very quickly. She thought I was very stupid and decided to move me down."
IBM sold that as BladeCenter QS series. Reportendly there even was an prototype version that had essentially same hardware as PS3 including the optical drive (production ones are dual-CPU without GPU and optical drive).
If Walmart laid off all their employees and replaced them with half as many employees that were paid twice as much, you'd be subsidizing even more people's living expenses. Yet somehow Walmart would be a more ethical company because no of their their own employees would be on SNAP?
This is a prime example of the positive aspects of capitalism. Meta has its own interests, of course, but as a side effect, this greatly benefits consumers.
To quote Brian Dunning of Skeptoid:

> The biggest secret of the Amelia Earhart mystery is that there is no mystery, and never has been. The USCG Itasca was on station at Howland and in partial radio contact with Earhart when she and Fred Noonan ran out of fuel and ditched after having slightly overshot the island in the dawn lighting conditions. The USN and USCG analyzed their data and identified this area as where the plane went down...

> So the best news about Tony Romeo’s find is that he’s looking in the right place, unlike the TV networks and the random crackpots whose claims they promote. Romeo hasn’t divulged the exact location, for obvious reasons; but his location has the endorsement of Dorothy Cochrane, a curator in the aeronautics department of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum. She knows where the USN and USCG have said where the plane is, so that tells me Romeo is probably right.

I'm excited to see how this compares to SmartOS. I'm pretty heavily invested in SmartOS in my personal infrastructure but its future, post-Joyent acquisition, has been worrying me.

Drum brakes generate heat across a larger surface area, which means there is more surface area to dissipate the heat, under normal braking conditions. Technically as much energy is generated, but the heat dissipation is better in regular usage.

Problem with disc brakes is they have a much smaller contact surface and the heat in the area where the calliper pinches is very focussed. Shedding that heat is much more inefficient as the steel takes a while to conduct the energy to the rest of the rotor. This is why brake fade happens much quicker for those brakes, and why there is a lot of tech on fancier disc brakes for shedding that heat.

Another benefit of drum brakes is as they heat, they expand and push the drum tighter to the pad, effectively helping you brake harder as they start to fade.
It looks like there’s an opening for someone to market one of these as a scientific instrument for the outdoor collection of airborne pollutants.
Because possibly they are aware that their shops need the goods for them to stay operational. They may also realise there are other areas of the business they can squeeze. They may realise that having a few missed shipments costs a lot more than the wages saved.
This is a completely fair, but open question. Not to be a typical HN user, but when you say SOTA local, the question is really what benchmarks do you really care about in order to evaluate. Size, operability, complexity, explainability etc.

Working out what copilot models perform best has been a deep exercise for myself and has really made me evaluate my own coding style on what I find important and things I look out for when investigating models and evaluating interview candidates.

I think three benchmarks & leaderboards most go to are:

https://huggingface.co/spaces/bigcode/bigcode-models-leaderb... - which is the most understood, broad language capability leaderboad that relies on well understood evaluations and benchmarks.

https://huggingface.co/spaces/mike-ravkine/can-ai-code-resul... - Also comprehensive, but primarily assesses Python and JavaScript.

https://evalplus.github.io/leaderboard.html - which I think is a better take on comparing models you intend to run locally as you can evaluate performance, operability and size in one visualisation.

Best of luck and I would love to know which models & benchmarks you choose and why.

Not that I'm not rooting for Oxide, but their product is still so niche and early stage that I can't imagine any actual businesses buying their stuff for a long time. They only just shipped their first rack to their first customer at the end of last summer and it's Idaho National Laboratory. State research institutions are basically the only entities positioned to gamble on this right now.
Impressive project, but the tagline says "learn every language," and yet there are some very glaring omissions. Just a few off the top of my head: Haitian Creole, Breton, Taiwanese, Shanghainese, Scots, and Yoruba. But probably the biggest omission is Esperanto, the world's most popular auxiliary language, which is often used as a bridge to other languages. If you learn Esperanto as your first foreign language, it's much easier to learn other languages, so it should be front-and-center in any language learning app.
Less scale, easier to fill gaps, less impact

Exactly, any design for this stuff requires parental-involvement because every approach without it is either (A) uselessly-weak or (B) creepy-Orwellian.

If we assume parents are involved enough to "buy the thingy that advertises a parental lock", then a whole bunch of less-dumb options become available... And more of the costs of the system will be borne by the people (or at least groups) that are utilizing it.
Outside of Silicon Valley, not a lot of companies will pay you less under the auspice that the fringe benefits somehow "make up the difference" and Walmart is about as far from startup culture as you can get.

Aside from that in order to drive one of these trucks, you require a CDL, which you have to get on your own, and maintain on your own, all at your own expense. The pay is there to attract talent from a limited pool of available workers and to ensure they show up to work on time and make deliveries on time.

It would be against their own interests to try to cut corners and pay drivers less based upon these types of "benefits."
