I love this response. On a slightly smaller scale, there are also ideas of protein interaction-network computational 'circuitry' -- I think that showing that folding can also compute is a nice addendum to this.
> It’s about US $3 million per month. We do the domains for two years, and so all of our money now is new domains. And if we just stay at this level of $3 million per month for new domains, when the renewals kick in a year from now, we’ll just jump to $6 million per month.

Is it actually reasonable to expect a steady $3M of domain creation over such a long period of time? AI is really trendy right now so a lot of projects are sparkling up, and even more ideas of projects… and people buy domain names for all of these, even those they won't ever actually start to build.

I would bet many of these domains won't even be renewed, and I would guess that the number of newly created domains won't actually keep up for long.
Yeah, when did that become acceptable?! I've had a bunch of sites request a photo or scan of my state-issued driver's license, like that's just OK to ask people to send to them.
Commercial and Residential – What Can Real Estate Startups Do to Address It?
I've often wondered if there will be a way to convert CRE to RRE and after speaking with some very well-known city officials in SF and the greater peninsula, there may be a way, but it'll take the force of many to do so.

I think there's a huge value proposition here for startups (in the natural sense, not just limited to tech companies) to address the need for housing within existing complexes zoned for CRE. For one, I do not have answers to this question but I'm also curious to know how existing companies are working toward this goal.

CRE-zoned properties are here to stay and so are building restriction laws, on top of that, the cost to build is just sky-high everywhere still.

So what would you do as a startup in the RE tech space? What have you seen and what are you projections?
You should look at Venafi and their offerings. They have integrations that allow you to connect to inhouse CA for certificate issuing. You can also add your own integrations when provisioning certificates to machines or choose from some of the many existing integrations.

Disclosure: I work for Venafi
I remember looking at these machines a while ago. Seems neat. I don’t have the waste volume to support the floor space.

Very cool project though.
Having built something similar, the biggest challenge for users is that they have to use a bespoke language, like WASP here. I suspect that it is also your biggest challenge as well.

Mine is built on CUE, which at least has the potential to become a more widely used language. CUE hasn't reached sufficient maturity for broader adoption yet, so I continue to face this same problem.

https://github.com/hofstadter-io/hof

What we built is more like a framework for building WASP + boilerplate for anything, both sides of the transform in full control by the user.

I'm less bullish on the idea since LLMs that can code arrived on stage
Tangentially related - At my university we've had a few reports of exchange students from Asia using ridiculous-looking glasses with camera gear and an ear piece to cheat on exams.

The lengths people go to sometimes amazes and amuses me to no end.
Streaming an arbitrary collection of windows instead of a single finished, composited framebuffer increases the bandwidth requirements by at least an order of magnitude. That's never going to work well over WiFi.
There are people in this very thread who bought houses in obviously crappy neighborhoods complaining about their crappy neighborhoods.

There are some neighborhoods where walking down the street comes with an especially notable risk of getting robbed. That's a bad neighborhood. Everyone agrees.

There are other neighborhoods where playing in a park comes with an especially notable risk of Karen calling the police, who respond. That's a bad neighborhood too.
Is there anywhere I can check my VIN for stuff like this? I have an Audi from around that era and am in Ireland.
I have been looking around, but there doesnt seem to be one place for this, eg. one person linked a .au domain.
You did not make an argument that had any reasoning. You just said who you didn't trust.
Funny...reminds me of how the Island State of Tuvalu really benefited from the .tv domain.
Same. I'm lucky enough to live in a walkable + bikeable area, and we love to do weekend getaways/road trips, so the majority of my miles are actually for the long distance case.

If I had more money I would have gone for the porche cayanne s (plug in hybrids which can tow a hefty amount for travel trailers, ironically the luxury brand is a turn off for me but it has the best stats for my needs), but I didn't so I got a Forester for 0% interest right before the chip crunch skyrocketed the price of cars but right after COVID squashed the price of cars. Luckiest timing ever given I was car free for the 7 years prior.
Opinionated enough that you have to learn their bespoke language WASP
The code that we currently write is at a sufficiently high level that we don't need to reach for a debugger.

I have a local kubernetes cluster with 10 services running, I usually get to the root of the problem a lot faster with a few log lines than having to figure out how to configure my IDE, run the app in debug mode and get all the debug port mappings right and have the right source mappings configured. If the problem is less around business logic and more around algorithms, that's when I spend time configuring everything and stepping through the debugger.
Ireland (in the EU) are likely to do the same and restrict the use of disposables.It's taking a while to legislate for however. The restrictions are likely to be environment & anti litter focused rather than health related and have industry lobbyists to contend with.

I suppose I don't. It could be that Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, and TikTok are all actively trying to create chaos, but greed adequately explains their behavior. One thing that points more strongly to greed is that the companies, aside from Twitter post-Musk, rapidly change their behavior when it impacts their revenue.

With TikTok, there's some chance geopolitics is a factor as well.
Wasp is as easy as learning to write JSON when you already know JS.

It's more a mental barrier as new tech no one has heard of is always somewhat intimidating, whether for good reason or not.
The subtext of this article is "oh look, the Russians are really in trouble now."

But Western media have been reporting for almost two years how the Russians are in trouble, e.g. how Russia's domestic aviation industry was bound to collapse.

Unfortunately, it hasn't turned out that way, and further stories on this theme are hard to believe.
Sometimes, building / running / doing the flow that produces a bug takes a lot of time. Or the bug is in external lib which would make it hard / cumbersome to instrument with logs. In that case, properly placed debugger will save a lot of time.

If things are easy to isolate, print is faster.

For the next level printing though, do not use

print('here1')
print('here2')

But instead write meaningful logs, say

print('copying X')
print('zipping to X.zip')
print('uploading to Y')

which can stay after you're done debugging. (Ideally you should not use print directly but via an util which silences the logs depending on program params, or removes them at build time etc.)

I'm mind blown how big % of code I work with has zero logs and zero comments. Whenever something crashes and the author is not around, good luck.
This sentiment comes up often and drives me nuts. Most of the time, the only thing to understand about somebody else's mangled API or shitty vendor-provided library is that their manager crawled up their ass over a deadline so they kicked the can down the road to you. There's nothing else to "get". There are entire languages (C comes to mind) so laden with footguns that trying to "correct your mental model" to comply with it is like lobotmizing yourself so you can deeply understand the mental state of a lobotomite.

There are languages and tools and methods for programming that are effective enough at limiting or eliminating bugs that you don't need much more than a print statement here or there. Most of us don't or can't use them.
There's an old apocryphal story.

Everyday for decades, a young man rides his bicycle, with a 10 pound bag of sand in tow, across a national border. This draws the attention of customs nearly everyday and they search through the sand day after day and find nothing.

Many many years later one of the customs agents sees the man, and asks if he was actually smuggling something all that time?

The answer was: "Yes, I was smuggling -- bicycles."
This actually squares with the study, no? I mean, when they are inside - and it's my experience as well - they might take the window as the main source of light and think that's the sky, so they start to fly in circles.
Russia Is Fighting for a Treaty That Could Soon Change the Internet Forever
Thanks. Yeah, I've poured a few slabs and built a few walls, but construction engineering is waaay out of my normal competencies, so I appreciate the vocabulary corrections.

You say "aggregate shape doesn't count for bugger all". So why does river / crushed sand work, and desert sand doesn't? It sounds more like there are different aggregate mixes / types of aggregate material that work for particular applications (hadn't thought that through, but it makes perfect sense), and that "rough" sand is better for the most-common concrete use-cases. Do you know of specific types of concrete where "smooth" sand would be preferred?
Is it? That would be cool. Under the hood is it actual udp?
Depends on who you ask.

> According to [Tim] Babbitt, CarPlay and Android Auto have stability issues that manifest themselves as bad connections, poor rendering, slow responses, and dropped connections. And when CarPlay and Android Auto have issues, drivers pick up their phones again, taking their eyes off the road and totally defeating the purpose of these phone-mirroring programs. Solving those issues can sometimes be beyond the control of the automaker. You can start to see GM's frustration. Babbitt's thesis is that if drivers were to do everything through the vehicle's built-in systems, they'd be less likely to pick up their phones and therefore less distracted and safer behind the wheel. He admits, though, GM hasn't tested this thesis in the lab or real world yet but believes it has potential, if customers go for it.

> “The primary reason is that we’re looking to create a comfort level around the [EV] charging experience. With Android Auto or Apple CarPlay environments, the vehicle energy model or road segment data is sending energy usage and everything else associated with it to the phone, and it’s pretty difficult to off-board it from the phone,” Buffa explained. “So what we have built in[to the Blazer EV’s infotainment system] is really accurate data around battery health and battery monitoring and everything else that comes with it. And as you get into the mapping, it does route planning extremely well. For example, if we were to drive from here [San Diego] to Las Vegas, almost instantaneously the car is going to plot a route that looks at not just the state of the vehicle, but the state of the chargers along the route. It’s also going to start the battery preconditioning as necessary, so when you reach a DC fast charger, you’re actually at the optimal temperature to start using the full charging capacity.”

> GM projects annual software and services revenue opportunities in the $20 billion to $25 billion range from a projected 30 million connected vehicles by the end of the decade. OnStar is already the industry’s leading connectivity platform with more than 16 million connected vehicles on the road today, with software and services generating a projected $2 billion in annual revenue. Part of GM’s software and services growth comes from OnStar Insurance, projected to have a potential revenue opportunity of more than $6 billion annually by the end of the decade.

If Modafinil is truly effective, then why is it not commonly used?

The fact that is less commonly used seems to point two potential reasons:

1. It's safety profile is actually not that much better the what is commonly used for ADHD.

2. Its efficacy is significantly worse than what is commonly used, and thus, there is no point in using it.

> There is no chemical being measured when we diagnose these medications and there is no chemical being measured when we clinically determine a successful treatment.

I'll give you that one. I have personally always been bothered by this too. I just cannot understand why so many psychs have to go through a rigorous and scientifically based education program only to discount much of it in practice.

"$5 wrench" refers to https://xkcd.com/538/
Elegance comes with an unexpected benefit: battery life. If we turned all common applications into Electron equivalents, the battery life would become abysmal with no benefits. If we turned all Electron applications into native equivalents the battery life would increase.

This compounds with scale, so it's using some additional electrical power per each user.

Also you can try and analyse it also as related to the number Electron applications per machine.
To be fair, most of those things ended up becoming core infrastructure over the ensuing decades, but hype is always frontloaded.
I think they would have gotten the point without it, given that they were into stealing its design - of course the subtle point might have been not familiar for them.
That’s a double-edged sword. I will personally never buy another car that doesn’t support CarPlay.
Yes, it returned the same "FAILURE" along with a couple new checks about getc that do pass.

Did you read the article for the post I linked?

I don't care about the data it captures on the wearer. If you're inclined to hand over all that telemetry on yourself to other people, I don't know what to tell you.

I care very much about the high-resolution cameras it has pointed at me. I don't think that's okay.
Seems like it would be less than that though?

Depends on your typical FOV to your monitor.

If the headset manages to be 4000 pixels wide, but that is filling say 110 degree FOV, then if your virtual display is 44 degree FOV, it's only going to be represented by about 1600 pixels wide. 4000/(110/44) = 1600.

I wish we knew what the actual resolution of this headset is and what the FOV is.

They say it's 23 MP total, so if the screens were square that would be 3391x3391.

If the FOV is 100 and our virtual screen was 50, then the screen would be 1695 pixels across.

And finally you lose some effective resolution because of the nature of the virtual screen being not aligned perfectly with the headset's panel. Since your head would be slightly askew in relation to the virtual monitor due to head tracking.

Your idea is that because people aren't walking around wearing these (https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Daniel-Lacko/publicatio...) that the concept is flawed, rather than needing to be in a different form factor?

(Ignoring that the Neuralink device has many different capabilities, including and especially being able to cause brain stimulus, which an EEG cap cannot. And that writing data into the brain is a major component of what I said.)

Please, please (please) contact everyone you can think of to support the idea. MnDOT has contact info on the Rethinking I-94 page[1], tell your city council rep, your county commissioner, your mayor, your state legislators, the governor. Tell your friends and neighbors.

For me the two takeways from the various reviews are that:

- The Vision Pro is the best VR set that can be done today, with massive investment (rumoured 5e9 USD) and competent staff, and hefty price. It is miles ahead of the competition.

- It’s still not enough for most if any practical use, apart from films maybe. The technical requirements for a really useful VR are still largely out-of-reach, and will be for at least the next 5-10 years.

Due to a recent storm in San Diego, large swaths of Mission/Pacific Beach houses and the boardwalk were left with tons of sand all over them.

The city scoops up the sand off the boardwalk and loads it into trucks which take it a few miles away to Fiesta Island.

Why? Apparently it is contaminated badly enough by whatever is on the boardwalk, that they don't want to just push it back onto the beach (and back into the water).
Well yeah, it's just plain moral blackmail. If it wasn't so common in the discourse I'd say he should actually be stopped from doing it.

I’d say most manual jobs are not eligible for remote work.

One can’t flip burgers remotely, do landscaping remotely, manufacture goods remotely, do farm work remotely.

It’s a relative minority those who can work remotely.

One option is Japan or Austria where even low level staff earn a living wage, but where everything is expensive for just about everyone and there is high employment as well.

Of course most employers want to import a subclass of workers who don’t get paid a regular wage and are happy to offshore and or import cheap labor instead.

You can’t eat your cake and have it, if you want high pay and low underemployment.

I bet no one in major European cities requires to bike like ten miles each way. The point is the size of American cities is vastly different to European ones, so what works that side of Atlantic rarely translates "as-is" here.

(I am disappointed about this oft thrown around comparison, since my city reduced one lane on several major roads and created bike paths. Sadly, we now have major traffic jams and hardly any utilization of the bike path. Turns out someone on the city council wanted to turn it into Denmark)
