Hetzner changes prices based on IP
I noticed when I'm at home the price of a Cloud CCX43 is €114.82. But if I remote into my work machine. Which is in the same town. The price is €96.49. It can't be going by location because it literally the same town in South Jersey, USA. So they must have some database with IP and user profile.

I'm curious what other people are seeing from their home vs work.
Yes, but since it has been operated by freenom, along with .ml, .ga, .gk, and .cf it's a real disaster.
It's probably more down to the getting the UI right on apple's end.
Emacs allows to copy anything into anything.
The most disappointing aspect to the reviews I've seen is that the cameras -- the things that facilitate the AR -- are not great. They're good, but far from great. In this the example video of a low light situation is terribly noisy, and she complains that she can't read small print because of pixelation. Given that the display itself is very high resolution, this has to fall on subpar cameras.

And the battery life is brutal. Extremely first generation.
This is a function of interest rates. When rates are high, more people rent vs. buy, it costs more for landlords to service their debt, and it costs more for developers to build more units.

That was my assumption as well.

I know that it's basically impossible to name a project without some sort of collision with someone else's work, but at the same time, it would be absurd to name a library "Ruby" or "Python".

I'm not sure what the threshold is, or should be, for that kind of thing, but my gut feeling is that Wren (the language) is over that threshold. If the author were to type a few more bird names into GitHub search, they would discover that, yeah, a name collision is basically inevitable, but there are a lot of recognizable species names for which it would matter less.
All those other factors would have been priced in at the end of the day. The only new information since then would have been the earnings release. If the absolute numbers are better than expected, then maybe it's the relative numbers (as compared to Microsoft who also released earnings) that are worse than expected?
BEM – a methodology that creates reusable components in front‑end development
I'm curious, given your experiences, if you've read 'Terror, Love and Brainwashing' by Stein? And if so, what did you think of it?
Well, a lot of the money goes into Waymo which is just ramping into revenue service. With the filing they submitted last week, they want to serve all of Silicon Valley and all of Los Angeles County, which is more than an order of magnitude expansion in their market. Waymo might be a real investment and not just an emergency profit reducer.
Calling someone who owns land and hires people to work it a farmer is like calling someone who owns a factory a "factory worker". In some technical sense maybe it's correct, but that's not what people mean when they use the term.
All I can say is that never happens to me. I moved to this after being annoyed by other approaches, especially idle ones where I'd pause to think only for the GC to kick in. Whereas if Emacs has lost focus, I'm between thoughts anyway so my flow is never interrupted.
I studied Operations Research at Stanford University in 1985/86, and got to take classes with George Dantzig; and then I went off and became a software engineer instead of doing OR. It's fascinating to read the comments on this post and see how much has been learned about linear programming algorithms since then.
There will always be a shortage of engaged talented people. FAANG no longer big deals to everyone under the sun doesn’t change this.

> In this case, the compiler can rightly treat x as uninitialized, meaning that its value could be <= 42 at one point, and not be <= 42 at another point. Since the uninitialized variable isn't "pinned", it could technically be different values in different locations.

LLVM has a "freeze" command to stop propagation of undefined values (although I think that command was added later than the first version), so that the value is "pinned" as you say. However, the "undef" command, if you do not use "freeze", will not do this.

I think that the C compiler should "pin" such undefined values where they are used, but I don't know which compilers have an option to do this. (Perhaps CBMC should also have such a switch, so that you can use the same options that you will use with the C compiler.)

With this ex.3 file, the optimizer should be allowed to result in a function that does nothing and has an unspecified return value (which might or might not be the same each time it is executed). (If optimizations are disabled, then it should actually compile the conditional branch instruction.)
Ask HN: How to Build an LLM of the Buddha?
Hey I've been thinking about this recently. Since there must be plenty of experts in how to LLMs work and avid buddhism followers in HN, this seems like an idea that could take shape in this forum. I'm not claiming this would work so cut me some slack, I want to see what ya'll think.

Some ideas that pull me to thinking about this:

- LLMs build a world model and are not 'just' parrots

- The Buddha spoke and people wrote it down, maybe the 'original' world model can be extracted from the writing?

- The Pali canon has 15-17k pages, sounds like a lot but it's a small dataset compared to how much data is used to train models these days

- There's orders of magnitude more commentary that could be used, but does it detract/dilute the 'original' world model?

- Say we dump everything written about buddhism, there's probably redundancy but maybe enough material to get 'enough' data to train
I laughed reading this. I'm now feeling ungerman, because, you know - humor!
Reminds me of Slack IDs:

- Channel IDs always start with C

- User IDs always start with U
ADA requirements are outside of the planning sphere though.

In fact, that ADA requirements came from laws from the federal government rather than from urban planning is pretty good evidence that the market (ie democratic legislation) is better at this than centralized planners of urban areas.
French ISP Free launches the first consumer internet box with Wi-Fi 7
As long as the total number of pixels is less, I don't see what that has to be true, at least bandwidth wise? Compute wise, the vision might have to do slightly more to separate the buffer and composite them into the AR view in different places, but the bandwidth should be direction proportional to the number/size of each window. If I can fit all the windows on a 4K screen, then I don't see why the software can't split that and lay it out separate in my view instead of in a single rectangle.
I feel like the simple hacky solution there is to use Joycons connected directly to the PC for the buttons/thumbsticks. Attach the control inputs to whatever virtual tracking points the vOS app is supplying and voila.

I debug using printf.

The supposed advantage of using a debugger is rapidly examining the state of the program.

But the debugger offers no means of actually examining anything other than the simplest variables.

With printf, I can create a comprehensive presentation of that state that allows me to understand what the program is doing.

A debugger is great when there's a diffuclty understanding the control flow (Where is the program crashing? How do we get there?).

But as far as examining the state in a way one can easily parse - the debugger won't do that for you. With printf, you create an annotated story of the execution, showing you both the data and what it means.

Example:

Polygon count: 5
Polygon orientations: {A: pos, B: pos, C: pos, D: neg, E: pos}
Centroids: {A: [0, 0], B: [20, 3], C: [7, -1], D: [5, 1], E: [2, 3]}
Box bounds: {X: [-10, 10], Y: [-2, 4]}
Polygons with centroid in box: {A, C, E}

Looking at this output tells you what's wrong with the function that filters polygons with a centroid-in-box query (it doesn't handle negatively oriented polygons correctly).

Sure, you can set up your watch variables to present information in that way... but then you're just doing printf with extra steps.

In this modern age where inventions are generally built on those who came before, it's hard to imagine how inventive this design was with so little prior history (and how crazy it was to fly at all).

That's an ideal state but is a real chicken and egg problem, the same problem that's soft locked US cities as car centric as they are, you can't mandate away car reliance without the public transit to back it up and transit will have low ridership if it's even slightly less convenient than driving.

To add to the sibling comments, Japan has very restrictive gun laws [1], but a suicide rate (12.2) similar to the US (14.5) [2]. Let me add that I find the instinct to restrict personal freedom as the very first measure very disturbing. As if the loss of freedom is not a harm in itself. More pragmatically, how many people will admit to being suicidal, if the immediate consequence is being locked in a padded room without so much as a shoelace?

> If you hold ETH according to the chain, it’s yours.

So is my NFT! No one can take it away from me. There are a couple things that could happen:

- The artist can mint an additional copy; this could mean my own copy loses value, or it could mean the community doesn't care, and continues to value the original one. Similarly, the folks that issue some ERC-20 token can decide to issue a new one and abandon their old token. In fact, vitalik et al could advocate for a fork for ETH. This is just how the social layer works.

- The media file associated with the NFT could be lost or changed. This can be a problem, but can also be addressed (IPFS), and can also be art: https://publico.pob.studio/piano

Larva Labs, the pioneers behind Cryptopunks, didn't even bother to put a link into their NFT at the time: it literally is a item/owner table. They didn't forget the link, they correctly understood that what the token represents is defined at the social layer.
The question this prompts for me is not how, but why: what difference does it make?

Absolutely, he kept trying to coin a phrase, and telling us how it's not an ideal version he imagines.
That's what the word "coincided" means!
Waymo _might_ be the sole survivor here... they are ABSOLUTELY trying their damndest with it. It's remarkable to not go a single day without seeing a driverless Waymo doing its thing. (I live in Central Phoenix, they're _everywhere_.)

The core concept is being proven pretty well, in markets with good weather and good roads at least... whether they can achieve some sort of critical mass that allows them to recoup any of the investment, even on a single capitalized vehicle... who knows. I've heard each Jag costs ~$250k fully loaded... that's a lot of ~$14-on-average trips before breakeven, and obviously the trips aren't free.

That all being said, riding in one feels like the actual future, and if they close in on this first-mover advantage and keep on keeping on, and strengthen their Uber integration, and open in more and more markets... there's a real chance they establish themselves and make this thing actually capture a significant portion of the trip economy.

That being said, it's not generalized, so opening markets is expensive because they're all individually trained for each mile of road in the market, I expect they'll be functionally useless in bad winters (but that's not a dealbreaker, per se), and those operating expenses remain high. Though I do expect we'll begin to see those lower, now that they're so deep into the proof of the concept. (They're finally starting highway driving here in PHX, which is really the last hill to climb.)
> But is the Vision Pro like that as well?

It's actually far worse. There's a single user and a "guest mode", but for AR/VR to work with, there's a calibration step, which means that the guest has to go through that step every single time they want to use the device. It might be fine for a real guest using it once, but it would be basically impossible to share the device with someone else. Having to setup the device every single time you use it sounds absolutely terrible.
Sure they have, it’s funny how often this is repeated. It’s anything social. It absolutely destroys every other technology for interacting with others over distance. There is nothing else like it and when the hardware catches up it will do a lot to shrink the distance you feel between those who live an ocean away from you.
Not sure, it's something I heard on Twitter.
Yeah I wish a lot more of these boilerplates didn't go the react route or atleast offered a vanilla JS option.
It’s called a cloth and they cost almost nothing.
I see headsets like this as a way to have multiple, large, monitors that go away as soon as you aren't using them. After having a big dual-monitor setup for years, about a year and a half ago I got rid of them and work with just my laptop's display. I do this so that my desk doesn't have to have monitors on it, and is more conducive to artistic work and mechanical tinkering.

I don't miss multiple monitors so much, but I do often wish for a larger screen. Not enough to put one in my space, though. That's where my interest in the Vision Pro lies - simply a way to project large, high-fidelity, 2d screens.
> I legit didn't realize that .io was a TLD for a country/state.

All two-letter TLDs are. Now that you know the pattern, you'll be able to identify all the other ccTLDs as well.
I also assume Berlin does not have high parking requirements.

For instance, this ordinance in NC says you need one parking space for every 300 sq feet of a store. So the average 30,000 sq foot grocery store would need 100 spots, at least.

Without getting rid of requirements like these the stores will not be able to remove spaces if they wanted. I very much like land value tax (which sounds similar in effect to what you are proposing) but you need the zoning flexibility first.

> I really haven't heard about other countries doing this, have you?

Australia had a manhunt over 3 teenagers who escaped the quarantine camp which made international news. I think it even made the front page here. There were plenty of videos from those places back then, you should look at them very scary stuff. Over what is essentially a flu, which we knew from the data at the time. Why don't we take the same precautions with the flu? Kills as much, and the same people, what gives?

I also remember CNN not touching the lab-leak "because Trump" and with a straight face they claim it's his fault they're not doing their jobs and getting to the truth.

I remember press conferences telling vaccinated people not to hug their unvaccinated loved ones. Why not when it's 100%, 95%, 90%, kind of%, maybe% effective?

Nothing rational about it, and there's a reason it just disappeared almost overnight. Just POFF and it was gone, no longer an issue. Let's move on, Ukraine is at war now. Oh right sorry, the spring-, summer-, no counteroffensive didn't go as planned. Now Israel, Israel is what we care about. We always wanted a peace treaty in Ukraine. It's good that we split up Ukraine between Russia, Romania and Hungary, now NATOs borders are expanding, which was always the goal.
> This is one of the silliest things

It's not silly at all. Taking everything they can carry is not the same as tearing apart every pillow / mattress / picture frame / etc.

I got my house burgled a few years ago: they found my decoy "hidden" stash. I left a 2 gram of gold sheet there (yup, literally 2 grams, worth 80 EUR at the time), with its certificate. That and a two silver coins worth 20 EUR a pop.

They thought they hit the jackpot. They didn't find the real hidden place where shitload of wealth was stored.

I was pissed that I got burgled but at the same time I, literally, laughed all the way to the bank with the actual gold/jewelry. I say literally because I don't keep that at home anymore now (it's in a safe at the bank, which moreover has an insurance).

There was literally 20 000 EUR worth of gold coins and jewelry very close to where they found their "jackpot" (of about 120 EUR).

And it's a trick I learned from my grandpa: he always had two wallets with him. One day he got robbed in a supermarket (well everybody got robbed there that day): he gave his dummy wallet and kept all his money and precious papers.

Trees themselves are useful because they support biodiversity such as small mammals, insects, all the useful things along a forest floor. can't do that with asphalt.
Joycons don't have absolute positioning, only relative, they're not good enough for VR. There is one way you could do it, if you have a Valve Lighthouse setup then you could use Index or Vive controllers, but that would require manually calibrating the two independent tracking systems to align with each other and it's not exactly a cheap solution if you don't already have the gear.

It's a very niche setup, but a few people already use it in order to combine Lighthouse-based body trackers with a non-Lighthouse headset.
I’m not certain, but I am pretty sure tail call optimization includes generic tail call elimination. This does not rely on the function being recursion. In effect the compiler converts all tail calls into direct jumps and allows for the reuse of stack space, limiting the total stack size for any given chain of tail called function to a statically determined finite size. This same optimization also allows for the omission of instructions which manage stack frames and their associated bookkeeping data. I know the Ocaml compiler does this, and I’m almost sure that GHC does as well.

I do not know if the above is included in what clojure does for tail calls, recursive or not, but on the JVM the elimination of those calls can and does have an impact.
Yeah, that's my experience as well, I find ConEmu on Windows to also be a bit slow.
Creating I-5 was really contentious at the time. It destroyed neighborhoods. My family has lived in the area for several generations and my parents can attest to this.

Lidding it would be great, but removing it would be better. There are loads of people who live in the suburbs north and south of Seattle and expect to be able to drive 20-30 miles each way day-in-day-out to commute. If the city continues to grow, this simply isn't tenable in the long run, because you can't grow highway capacity forever; they would no longer be able to do this, which would be good. Just rip the band-aid off.
If you got the money with zero energy expenditure, you don't care what the current fiat market value is. It's like finding a free lunch sack of cash on a park bench.

You could argue that there's an opportunity cost to letting the money stay parked, but because governments ultimately dictate the value of their own currency, that point is moot.

Good review. Most interesting part was at 43:00 discussing the ergonomics and weight, which is the real question for everyone hoping to make this a daily driver.

He said he could wear it 45 mins before needing to take it off, that it was overstimulating so you need to slow down how quickly you use apps and move things on screen, and that gestures also were fatiguing. You could tell he was trying to be fair but positive.

Headsets just haven’t cracked this nut yet, and tho tech may advance somewhat, they may be limitations inherent to the form factor. Even if it gets really light weight, the issues of overstimulation, headaches, and the amount of neck movement implied may keep these products in a niche. (I say this as someone super excited about AVP)

For everyone used to using their computers all day long wanting to do it in a headset, don’t throw your macbooks away just yet.
It won't necessarily be cheap or free to convert, but I think it's a slow long-term haircut more than a time bomb. Land is still at very high levels of demand in most urban and suburban cities, people will find non-commercial uses for places that never get used as office again.
