I also recommend most of the sequels: The Circle Opens, another quartet where each of the four takes on their first students; The Will of the Empress, what happens after they return from their travels in the second quartet; and Battle Magic, which follows Briar's group on the return trip before The Will of the Empress, when they got caught up in a war.

I wasn't really a fan of Melting Stones, which mainly focuses on Briar's student and takes place at the same time as The Will of the Empress. If I remember right that book was also an experiment, written as an audiobook first then later released as a regular book, so that may explain why it doesn't feel as good to me.

The author has had another in mind for years too, a continuation of the problems Tris had been having from The Circle Opens onwards: she can't figure out how to make a living with her magic, because she refuses to use it as a weapon. Unfortunately, the author doesn't actually have the rights to this universe, so she has to wait for Scholastic to want another book.
I worked on the front end of CollegeHumor.com at this time and spent a lot of working hours bashing my head against the wall debugging for IE6 (and even IE5).

I don’t remember the decision/approval process that happening internally but we put up a similar banner very shortly after YouTube added theirs. We continued supporting IE6 for some time but started prioritizing it less and less.

Thanks everyone, I just don't know enough grammar to explain.
The taxonomy of archaic humans is debatable to say the least so "we are only the ones left" may just be an artifact of 19th century anthropology and prestige chasing. Realistically the genetic variation between the average human and Neanderthals is only about twice the variation within the modern human gene pool. Compared to our nearest primate at 10-50x the difference depending on how you measure.

Given the number of genetic bottlenecks we have evidence of in our past, we may all be the same species and the modern human is just the last surviving group of inbred Homos.
At the same time Mexican imports from China seem to be increasing significantly according to this: https://tradingeconomics.com/mexico/imports/china
So is US just importing from China via Mexico or is Mexico substituting local stuff exported to US with imports from China?
Either way reliance on China seems to be the same.
On a tangent: the screenshot of the deprecation banner brings back memories of a time when the internet still felt relatively free, before the rise and dominance of mega platforms in the 2010s.

> another species that was very similar to us that we interbred with

Ok, if it is so similar to us and we interbred with it, then why is this so special? Might as well call it the same species by stretching the definition a little.
I first heard of this project here on HN when I shared a project I finished with a friend to accomplish a similar goal for iOS widgets[1]. I still use a server-delivered JSON file for a live widget on my iPhone. I think there's a lot of value to this type of delivery even if you can't fully customize the UI.

I get that XML is not cool anymore but JSON is really a terrible language to define user interfaces. This smells like using JSON for the sake of using JSON.

There's a reason why JSX (basically XML in JS) is so popular and not some JSON definition of HTML.

Savannah and Brunswick are huge car export ports because many manufacturing facilities are spread out between South Carolina and Georgia: Volvo, Mercedes, BMW, Honda, KIA to name a few. These ports are also the largest on the Eastern seaboard of the US. So access to shipping is probably one of the main reasons. Also major demographic shifts to the Southeastern part of the US help supply the labor pool.

Georgia and South Carolina tend to be the poorest states. The Poverty rate is around 14.5% for both. Compare that to California where the poverty rate is 12.5%. Though the poverty rate is lower, California has more people in poverty than Georgia and South Carolina combined. Anyway, using the word "impoverished" is grossly misleading.

If you can't charge at home, there is almost no reason to buy an EV today. The infrastructure you would need to rely on just isn't there in most places.

If you can charge at home, or maybe at work, there is almost no reason not to buy an EV for your next car. It charges at normal electricity rates while you sleep (or work) and you will never need to charge it anywhere else except for the occasional road trip.

Do they? I've just spent most of today on the railways, as it happens, but I didn't hear that despite some disruption; indeed I've never heard it. During my journey today, the Eurostar staff apologised over the tannoy personally, and the Great Western train manager personally announced a delay with great enthusiasm on a recent trip ("we are running three minutes behind schedule; we apologise for any inconvenience or disruption").

I'm curious to know which line/operator you've heard this on.

I've got my own pet-peeve automated announcement though: "This is a National Rail security announcement..." Oh no! Is there a riot on the platform? Was someone assaulted? No, listen further: "...If you see something that doesn't look right, text the British Transport Police on 61016".

Like, that's not even a real announcement, and doesn't every passenger know the number by now??

P.S. I feel that it's right to note for those unfamiliar with the English railways that GWR are probably the most effective train operator in England, and that the delay I had wasn't their fault. Eurostar, having almost exclusive use of HS1 and the Channel Tunnel, don't have that excuse available, but they were still impeccablely professional.

I think you might be making a confusion here.

I have an AMD Ryzen APU laptop also with 32GB of RAM and also with Windows 11 and yes just like in your case, it says in task manager GPU tab that 16GB are shared GPU memory, but like the name says, it's shared and not reserved, meaning the GPU can use up to 16GB of system RAM for textures and stuff but CPU apps are allowed to use nearly all the 32GB of RAM minus what you reserved exclusively for the GPU in BIOS and what the GPU is currently using on top of that.

And I know because I saw apps (not games) use nearly all my 32 gigs of ram.
It's still bad. The awful continues for end-users.

Just this afternoon, I witnessed one elder tech teaching another elder tech how to enable IE mode on Windows 11 because that is the only way to get a particular hardware-based NVR to be viewable.

The NVR has 2023 firmware.

I use a 27" 5K display as well, only with contacts. I'm short sighted at -6.75 in each eye. Why would I be unable to wear contacts when using it? If anything its an improved experience as my lenses significantly shrink whatever i'm looking at which the contacts do significantly less.

If the world won't have any children, it will be degrowth to zero in a lifetime. One child for everyone is enough to halven the population, according to my napkin math. Even two children is okay if you're ready to pay extra. You just have to not turn your family into a spawning pool and kids will be okay.

The problem is there, regardless of anyone who keeps their head in the sand. Humanity will meet the limit, and people will be unable to afford children. There's no if, there's when. The only question is whether future-we will be able to have 2, 1 or 0 kids on average, and how much fucked the planet will be at the point of realization. If your vote goes for "0 and very fucked", make sure to teach your kids to not whine about it later and to keep the pride.
Why do you think finishing the fusion research (just another 10 years? again?), and then designing commercial reactors, and then building out all the fusion generation capacity we need, could possibly take less time/money/effort than just building out all the wind/solar/battery capacity instead, which we already know how to make?

It's not bonkers. Notably, the pilot's union is not trying to turn back the current status quo of 2 hours recorded, they are blocking a significantly longer recording system. Such a system would inevitably record a few (probably) irrelevant flights worth of pilot chit chat and banter.

Has anyone tried, oh IDK, compromising? Maybe instead of 24 hours, we do 6? Or up to 24 hours but only of the "current" flight that matters to the current event? It's a negotiation. The Pilot's union doesn't have veto authority on safety. Sure they can threaten to unanimously strike if it's passed and that might be a big threat to airlines since they have basically stopped investing in the funnel of new pilots, preferring instead to pay everyone food stamp wages and drag themselves through the obvious """Pilot Shortage""" that results when a job that costs $40k to get only pays $25k a year.

I don't disagree with the concept of letting people use a credit card. I'd just prefer people to enter it on their car's on-screen interface, rather than assuming physical card readers at every charging point. Leaving aside the annoyance factor (fumbling with cards and bending down to feed one into the curb each time I park), we're eventually going to have millions of charging points on random walls, curbs and lamposts. Based on my experience with today's chargers, the card readers are uniformly the first item to fail. And they never get fixed.
You don't need to park in the garage.

I park my car outside my garage. The charging cable sits under the garage door just fine and reaches my charging port without a problem.
I suspect I might need prism lenses, but there's already an eye tracking option that tells it to only use my left eye. Used that option during the in-store demo, and it worked pretty well. If the image in the right eye were adjusted to match my condition then that would've been even better, but my brain already mostly ignores the image from the right eye so it didn't matter that it wasn't.
The thing I wonder is can't you fix the screen to be straight relative to your head at all times? Or is it always fixed to the environment?
Oh absolutely; the foundation model and the human preference tuning have a mix of intentional, unintentional, based-in-reality, and based-in-reddit-comment-reality bias; that's unavoidable. What's totally avoidable is making a world in which people are "debiased" based on hidden instructions.

If Microsoft want to use this, they need to use it. I was engaged in a 9 week battle with the MS Teams review team who were wholly and utterly incompetent.

They wanted fields added and moved that could not be because all of the layout was determined by the card and MS Teams own rendering (namely they wanted a settings link on a card list). It took three calls with their “engineers” to make them realise. Microsoft will never commit to something long enough for them to learn it internally so why should anyone else bother?

Rant over.

Are there any “circular” cities in the US?

The grid based system of pretty much every US city is not conducive to walkability. It actively hinders it with incessant stop signals and cross walks.

The meandering roads of many small and mid sized European cities means there are no lights needed - cars travel through the city slowly enough that they rely on their senses.
It's still a major blunder by an HR manager but maybe there's a chance that they had already decided to hire the person but hadn't made an official offer and it was a mistimed getting-to-know-you chat? I don't know, it seems insane to even ask.

I'm curious of what the fully developed OS will look like for spatial computing if that's what we're calling it now. I think it will have to be built on old methods people are familiar with, like 'clicking' on something with their finger or hand, but I'm fascinated to see when someone is reading the paper newspaper and wants more detail, so they click on the 'link' (ie word/phrase) in the paper and their headset brings up a website with more detail on what they're reading. It could even be older books without any specially marked keywords or anything, as in the physical world would stay exactly the same. Perhaps with people looking at a building and 'clicking' on the building could bring up the tax map or contact info for the building, etc. As time goes by the building would be viewed from all sides, making it a truly 3D model, so you could click on it from any side. An OS on the past with the physical, based on the past with the web, but with the future integrated. I am truly excited to see this built out over the next few years.
sure, you can use google or a search engine, look in the results for the actual feeds url (vs just a website or something), and copy paste it in your podcast player.
Or you can just search from it directly in your podcast app.

The UX on the latter side is clearly superior.

We wouldn't pay corporations either.

There is no such thing as "stealing" any of this. There is only copying.

> sell it without asking

There's no need to buy what they're selling. Supply is infinite. Without copyright, you'd just download anything you want.

Maybe some people will make physical books for those who prefer it. That's fine.

> the author wouldn't make any money

They need to find new business models anyway. Authors need to find ways to get paid before the work is created, for the act of creating. Not by selling artificially scarce copies.

But then why do my apps not use more than 16GB RAM? Everything together never surpasses 16GB RAM (maybe a bit, because it gets compressed). And in the meantime the GPUs show <1% RAM usage.

> Can someone explain why they think the AVP version in 2034 will be light years ahead of v1?

Think back to when the iPhone first came out - could you have predicted how it would improve over the next 10, or 15 years?

Sure some things are obvious like faster networking, higher quality screen, better camera and just faster processor. But in all honesty I'd say some of the biggest improvements are apps that now define how we use it and what we use it for. It's obviously so much more than a phone.

I'm not sure anyone quite knows what the future of VR/AR truly is, but I'm betting it will apps which will change how we use it and what we use it for that will make it "light years ahead" of where we are now.
