TSA Pre is pretty spotty from what I remember. You still have to do 90% of what the basic line does, and if the scanner beeps at you for some reason, it's basically an on-the-spot downgrade to the normal line.
I think attempting to replace the easily digestible content with work is part of the problem.

You say you're opening a tab to HN when you're stuck or tired, but should be focusing on work. Your brain is stuck and tired because it needs a break. You can train it to do something other than switch to easily digestible content when that happens, like taking a walk or stretching, but you can't completely avoid a loss of productivity when you're stuck or tired. The brain isn't 100% effective all of the time.

Apple has more money than they can spend, but you can only get so much done within a given timespan. Designing and developing an API in which an app can safely add launcher icons is quite a challenge, but I imagine Apple may have missed this problem up until now.

Plus, they probably don't want to add the necessary API. The law says to treat other apps equally, not to provide the user with a good experience.

This was for owning, rental rates are more difficult to assess due to the likelihood of collective living. General rule is that mortgage shouldn't exceed 30% post-tax, hence multiplying by 4 to allow a 5% buffer and a stable financial situation.

In a city where a condo costs 3500/month.. It's quite likely that you'll need 124k for everything else. A basic "fast" lunch in downtown Boston runs ~20 dollars these days (5000/yr), parking alone can burn ~10k/yr. If you opt to avoid cars for public transit then you need to add 2-4k to the mortgage payment.

As everyone else is facing the same housing math, prices rise. There is some lag to pricing as individuals avoid paying market rate for housing by buying 10+ years ago or locking in lower interest rates.

Personally I miss a lot of features in the Meta Quest 3 which would be helpful for making location based experiences (turn your local natural history museum into "Jurassic Park") such as having a persistent SLAM model and being able to at least use the camera to read and locate QR codes or, say, compute the pose of a person and overlay them with a video game character. I think though Meta is worried about the privacy implications of those things.

On the other hand, those LBEs have an antagonistic relationship with headset adoption. If everybody had a headset than there would be nothing special about MR experiences. For LBEs to be viable you want headsets to be capable and inexpensive but not widely adopted. (I almost wish it could be Winter 2024 forever) I'd imagine a headset vendor would like to charge me more for using a headset for an LBE than they would want to charge a ordinary user but on the other hand people who are blown away by an LBE (very possible) might go home and buy their own headset.

As for their vision, Meta seems to be doing really well running an app store for single-player games. I haven't seen a real multiplayer hit yet but I guess Demo Battles comes close. Meta knows what they'd like to do if they could create something like OASIS from Ready Player One but a close analysis of how Horizon Worlds falls short of that reveals how difficult that is. I guess anybody who can afford a seat of Dassault 3DExperience can also afford an AVP, maybe many Blender users can afford an MQ3. It's not clear to me at all what, past games and entertainment, is going to be a mass market in XR.
There's still the UAC prompt which should help mitigate risk, plus it's locked behind developer settings.
I do this with my email. I have a bunch of different emails under my own domain, and I use info+uniqueidentifier@domain.org for registrations which do not warrant their own actual email handle.

This way, I can easily filter incoming email, and I can see where an email came from if any party sells my data.

This also works with GMail by the way, you can use youraccount+anyrandomstring@gmail.com and emails will still be delivered to you.

I use a separate email handle that I only hand out to actual human beings, never to companies and never use for account registrations.

This has worked really well for the past 15 years or so.

Man I think about this all the time. We have robots calling humans and robots answering calls to verify the other end isn't a robot. We just need to connect the dots and have the robots talk to the robots and collate the important bits for the humans. English becomes a fuzzy "API" for the robots to communicate with each other. I get weirded out when I think about it.

>but I see Apple having no trouble selling as many as they can make.

But right now, supply-chain analysts suggest that they can only make 160,000 or something this year. Apple could sell literal boxes of dog shit to 160,000 people, so I don't think we really know what the size of the market is.(And incidentally, although shipping is now two or three weeks out (an improvement from two weeks ago), I can pick up an AVP from a number of stores in my area today and at another store on Saturday. I don't think we can make any assessments as to the market size/demand right now, but I will say that in-store availability one-week post release was not something we saw for the first iPad or Apple Watch. The iPad 2 was consistently out of stock its first few months, even -- and not because they were supply constrained but because Apple sold every device they got in-store.)

Is interest/intrigue/vauge knowledge super high -- yes -- it's a new Apple product, that's a given. But prodct awareness != product success.
I've tried several other music platforms, but nothing has really expanded my musical horizons like Spotify's Discover Weekly. Even 5-6 years ago, most of the electronic music I listened to was relatively mainstream like Boards of Canada (BoC is great music, don't get me wrong). Last year, the album I listened to the most was Se Ve Desde Aquí by Mabe Fratti [1].

I got pushed out, by an overworking bootlicker hiring their friend with 0 domain experience. Ultimate event was them and shiftless PM lying and said design VP had 0 interest in a project they had been asking for three years. They got away with it completely because SWE management closed ranks and pretended that was normal because fuck design, right? And I was very evil for not just being like "oh that totally makes sense that they don't care at all" (i.e. the PM got nuclear pissed because his boss' boss' boss got called in for a 2nd meeting with the design VP)

All that to say, your comment about LATAM reminded me how much it fucking. sucked. having management pull that in December 2022, and realize there wasn't any escape hatch to an anonymous org elsewhere, because all the roles are in Poland / India / etc.

Start out chuckling to yourself reading tweets at 10am but after doing that for more than 5 minutes the feed starts morphing into your email inbox. That email you were dreading to open? Yeah well too late, you’ve started reading it now. Thank me later.

Come back from lunch and click on that catchy looking video of Primeagen reacting to yet another one of those articles that reads like hundreds of articles before it? Three minutes in he switches over to the terminal to prove a point about how anyone should be able to do a bubble sort except instead of vim it’s 3brown1blue sneaking in a lesson on the Bursuk-Ulam theorem.

It’s 8pm and you had to reply to a whatsapp message you received from your brother. While you’ve got your phone out you might as well catch up on what your friends have been up to on instagram. Except after 2 minutes the feed starts showing you your own past snaps of your kids and spouse! May as well stop staring at your phone and actually talk to them seeing as they’re in the same room.

In fact it only issued a provisional statement that humanitarian care for the population of the Gaza Strip should continue,

This is very clearly not what the ruling says. And it is intellectually evasive to characterize as such, given that information about the ruling is widely and immediately available.

And I don't mean "evasive" in terms of spin, polish or oversimplifying. But rather, of an overt attempt to obfuscate the nature of the ruling.

There's no way that you, yourself, can plausibly believe the above statement you just made.
This is also why you always call anyone you don’t know back on a listed number like the switchboard of the company they claim to be from if you think you need to engage with them

"How does that translate to ..." means "how well does that work in" some other area or context; more analogous to a mathematical translation than a linguistic translation.

Just a confusing turn of phrase. They almost certainly didn't mean "what does that translate to ..." in another language.

Harmonising product names across regions is hard: Jif was a bathroom cleaning solution in the UK, but it's name was changed to Cif to match the name elsewhere in Europe; and that name sounds silly to UK ears. Meanwhile GIF were always presumed to be pronounced like "gift" (a present) without the final T; but we learnt the creators preferred "Jif" which sounds silly to UK ears because it sounds like a cleaning product! (And also wasn't JIF already a file extension (JPEG Interchange Format).

Anyway ... language is hard.

Honestly, I think it depends on your company's financials. If you have a healthy ARR topline and have been profitable with solid margins, practically there ain't any reason to source funding. But then its a also a question about how fast you wanna grow your company - whether you're happy with gradual and steady growth or want to desperately blitzscale!
I would expect them to leave a voicemail in this situation.
I have gotten into the habit of answering the phone in the Graham-Bell/Mr. Burns way by answering "Ahoy Hoy" whenever I get a number that I don't recognize.

Neither this eruption nor any other recent eruption in Iceland is characteristic of shield volcanoes.

A shield volcano requires a certain viscosity of lava and flow rate.

There are a few shield volcanoes in Iceland, the term "shield volcano" even comes from Icelandic; From the eponymous volcano Skjaldbreiður ("broad shield"), but none are formed recently.

Most Icelandic lava is too thick to form shield volcanoes. It forms mountains, ridges, lava fields etc.

The lava that's now bubbling up in Iceland is referred to as "Apalhraun". Which in a fun bit of linguistic happenstance originates from the Hawaiian ʻAʻā, Hawaii in turn borrowing a derivative of the word "Skjaldbreiður" to refer to the volcano type it's most known for.

Report of Special Counsel Robert K. Hur [pdf]
"There are nowadays professors of philosophy, but not philosophers. Yet it is admirable to profess because it was once admirable to live. To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and trust. It is to solve some of the problems of life, not only theoretically, but practically. The success of great scholars and thinkers is commonly a courtier-like success, not kingly, not manly."

> The Democratic-led Senate took up the security aid bill after Republicans on Wednesday blocked a broader measure that also included reforms of border security and immigration policy that a bipartisan group of senators had negotiated for months.

Setting aside the emotional aspect of this headline, there's something I find interesting. Most Republicans in the Senate oppose border security yet it's one of the most important issues for Republican voters. When they take such a contrary stand that is a very meaningful signal IMO. My guess is it's probably due to heavy pro-Ukrainian and pro-Israeli influence. China is likely not a factor because the bill includes defense money for Taiwan.

But AT&T didn't interfere with getting apps on a Nokia phone, be it Symbian or even the Java predecessors. They didn't insert themselves in the middle and demand 70% revenue like your claim.

You say Gemini “nailed it”, but that’s just because it guessed what you were thinking, not because it knew the right answer.

For example, it’s equally valid to say that Tabitha likes small foods since cookies are small and cakes are large, and lamb is the smaller younger version of sheep — also known as mutton. Hence she likes cherries because they’re smaller… or taste better… or her uncle abused her with a pear… or whatever.

You haven’t actually asked a logic question where there is a clear and unambiguous answer that can be derived using formal methods starting from clearly stated axioms.

If you gave this question to a bunch of humans, they would give you inconsistent guesses as well — not because they’re wrong but because the question has no single right answer.

The GPU will be the premiere compute device for Analytics not just AI
The GPU has been the central compute device of the AI boom of the last decade. Recent advancements signal a similar golden era for the GPU in Analytics is on the horizon. For many years, most GPUs were hamstrung on account of the glacial pace of evolution for the PCI Express (PCIe) system bus. The PCIe 3.0 era seemed to last forever, but in the last few years the dam has finally broken. Enterprise Hardware vendors are adopting the newer PCI standards at a much faster pace and that’s bringing dramatically higher throughput and transfer rates for the GPU.

This hardware trend on its own would be a tremendous harbinger of good times to come for GPU analytics. But when you pair it with another under the radar hardware trend – which is the explosion in VRAM capacity it signals an upcoming golden era. Take for instance Nvidia H100 NVL dual-GPU cards — which are geared for staging large language models (LLM) — have 188 GB total VRAM. So these two main analytic bottlenecks for the GPU — getting data to it, and storing data near it — are going away.
I would only be moderatly suprised.
