It depends on how much you care about coffee. If you care enough to freshly grind everyday, weigh the coffee, weigh the water, etc. then you probably just want a simple V60 pourover (or Chemex if you want something fancier). Aeropress is also good and my personal favorite brewing method.

If you want something to produce a vat of coffee in the morning on a timer, which is totally understandable, there are some good options. Buy whatever James likes here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8eYs2vxT-8 (I watched the video 2 years ago and forget ;)

The problem I have is keeping coffee fresh for how little I drink. I ended up switching over to a subscription service that just sends me frozen single-cup pods of coffee. It's pretty good and very easy to make; just add to hot water. It's like $70 for 32 pods, though, so not particularly economical if you drink a lot of coffee. But it is easy and the coffee is fine.

Unions and organizing are needed to push wages up [1], admittedly, but tax sheltered retirements aren't helping anyone but a privileged minority (as the paper in the USA Today piece mentions). No hoops required.

We tried 401ks and IRAs because it was an easy way to shed pensions and keep those contributes for shareholders, leaving most folks to end up on paltry Social Security benefits. The experiment failed. If you don't see it, you're ignoring the data [2] [3], which I suppose is a choice.

On social media, there's no good UI/UX for communicating something is AI-generated without it being too verbose and defeating the point. It sounds silly, but it's the truth.

Meta's requirement for AI-generated media to be disclosed on FB/Insta has been the only push toward social media support.

That problem is always sort of intuitively misleading. The success criterion is defined as picking the single best option from the field. But that's not how real life works. You don't have to pick the single best option for a job or spouse or dentist or whatever; you'll likely be satisfied with anything in the top ten or quintile or somewhere around there. It's interesting mathematically, but it's seldom really applicable to real life.

Some people record their calls. Businesses often have to per compliance in most direct to consumer sales situations. From the recording, if not algorithmically, a court of law could easily determine an AI voice case by case.
It seems like they're targeting the symptom instead of the problem.

One of the biggest problems with robocalls is that it's really impossible to know who's calling you, and that SPAM reporting tools don't have much teeth.

IE, when I have an incoming call, I should be able to see who's liable for the call. IE, "[phone number] is registered to [Person or corporation]", and that reports of spam should impede that party's ability to use the phone network.

> Callers who use AI technology must get prior consent from the people they are calling, the FCC said.

The text of the ruling says "prior express consent" instead of unsolicited. That seems clear, but I wonder whether it is in practice. Is the one of those things where, by signing up for website A and agreeing to their terms by clicking a checkbox, I am agreeing to allow my phone number to be called by robits from companies B-Z, because of some line buried in the middle of the legal text I didn't read? I.e. "The User consents to contact for any purpose by Website A and our partners", and a partner is defined as anybody who buys their contact list from them?

That is a case where the nature of T&Cs and end-user agreements makes the words "express" and "consent" more abiguous than they ought to be, since they rarely match anyone's definitions except the law's.
If you only use Firefox how do you know that it's great? My general impression is that Firefox is lagging far behind in many areas. It hasn't gotten worse, probably gotten better, but the other players have gotten MUCH better.

A couple years ago I was rebuilding my nas that i keep my music on. So I decided to trial all the popular streaming services. Apple Music had a generous 3 month trial compared to the usual 7day-1month ones. I cancelled the service on the second day. Because the Windows iTunes experience was incredibly horrible - laggy/glitchy mess. If hell exists then the worst torture there would be being forced to use iTunes.

Probably true but they're throwing money around for exclusives because i'm sure they want a major cut of Steam's market, and so far that just hadn't happened.

I would not be shocked if future star wars, marvel, disney games are epic exclusive, and that could be the thing to get people to care beyond the weekly free game and fortnight.

Python Docker Image
Hey HN, wrote up a guide on how I've been creating Python Docker images. I seem to always need to install a software dependency that forces me to break out of the basic Python tags. A great example is installing Node and Python at the same time or creating containers that can use PyTorch.

Love feedback to on how to make the image better if you've got any!

They might mean energy efficiency or time efficiency (reading a book etc on the train). Or maybe construction energy efficiency, which in Austin is presumably a sunk cost.

Who is "they" and how do they know which calls aren't legitimate?
Actually you don't. A well known attack against trucking is to suspend a cinder block from an overpass, just high enough for the cars to miss it but not the trucks. People put them up in the middle of the night and are miles away before an incident.

Dropping caltrops on a secondary road at night would also work. Rigging a drone to drop chaff on a freeway, etc, would also get the perpetrator physically away from the action. Really, with some creativity, surprisingly crude attacks can shut down a road with minimal exposure of the perp.

A decade ago, the Beltway Sniper terrorized my neighborhood for two weeks. It turned out to be a teenage boy and a certifiably insane adult with some military training. A similar attack by someone who actually knew what they were doing and who wasn't addled would have been very, very difficult to catch. Much less if the attack were, say, from wooded roadsides that overlooked interstates.
You don't like watching people killing themselves in UFC, NFL, etc... ?
Okay, but to clarify:

- This is not Gemini performing a search.
- This is Google providing a layer of ass-covering in case Gemini produces a factually incorrect reply.

Right? I am looking for something like ChatGPT with Bing - it will run a query, pull back results, and operate on them, all dynamically within the system.

Gemini doesn't seem to do this, no matter how you try to wrangle it.
> The FCC announced the unanimous adoption of a Declaratory Ruling that recognizes calls made with AI-generated voices are "artificial" under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).

So illegal in the sense that artificial robocalls are already illegal, then.
Argh, Google can't seem to stick with anything.

Is there a betting market where I can put money on how long it'll be before Gemini is dead or renamed?
The only path to FirefoxOS success would have been if someone like Samsung hitched their wagon to it.

Which would have been because they thought they could make more money using it than Android.

Which probably wouldn't have bode well for user-friendly changes to the base image.

Android's value prop to manufacturers was "Was to sell a lot of mobile phones, but not have to pay for most of the development? And get a working Maps solution? Here you go." Which Google could afford to torch money on.
Is it? I mean, the scammer scammers can still use AI to answer the phone. They just can’t initiate calls en masse using AI, which I don’t see them doing.
At least on Mac, the font rendering is different. Hard to exactly quanify, but I'd say Firefox seems less crisp and also less bold/lighter weight.

I’ll grant that this was a statement of a value I personally hold, an ethical axiom which I can’t convince you of. Fair.

Would you care to present a your own views? Or to dispute the reasoning that follows from my stated values?

If not, then we aren’t going to agree. I’m very much in favor of streets not being designed like the video game Frogger. Listen, I like snowboarding; adrenaline is a blast. But I don’t know why getting groceries has to be an adrenaline rush.

I’m making a joke. I’m coming into this debate with established opinions. But even if you’re not going to win me over, the floor is yours to persuade future readers that speed and carrying capacity are more important than safety. Or to argue that I’m presenting a false dichotomy.

What I don’t find acceptable is accepting the status quo just because it’s the status quo.
This ruling was driven by fake Joe Biden robocalls, but there are/(were?) AI startups trying to create AI customer support bots or political reachouts with consent from the parties involved to clone those voices.

From the declaratory ruling, any AI-generated voice call requires prior recipient consent:

> Consistent with our statements in the AI NOI, we confirm that the TCPA’s restrictions on the use of “artificial or prerecorded voice” encompass current AI technologies that resemble human voices and/or generate call content using a prerecorded voice. Therefore, callers must obtain prior express consent from the called party before making a call that utilizes artificial or prerecorded voice simulated or generated through AI technology.

> just in Kashmir where India cuts off all internet as a means of control over the population

Just for perspective, the government would likely claim that there have been multiple violent/deadly attacks over years/decades, often against the Indian army.

I am not going to comment on anything as to who is right or wrong beyond this because I barely know enough about the whole situation. All I know is that it is too complex for a single comment.
Without trying to pin everything on the CEO, I don't think it's also fair to treat Firefox as helpless and doomed.

For another data point we can look at Thunderbird, another Mozilla project. Thunderbird had started stagnating. It was borderline abandoned for a while, until Mozilla made it official.

The community tried to catch the discarded codebase and keep it alive, Thunderbird got a new home. Remember we're talking about a desktop email client in the age where a couple major companies entirely own email, as a concept. Email _is_ Gmail and Outlook, it's not even close to a fair fight for a small third party email client to compete against that.

Nevertheless, Thunderbird is growing again.

Be careful what you wish for. No reason why governments might decide they want the same thing for the Internet and domain names. Requiring a license to own domains… who are we kidding, they’d do it for the tax revenue.
People are not economically rational. Most people don't buy pasta when rice is expensive. Econ 101 explains rational actors in a vaccum, not gluten free, asian culture, anti Italians sentiment, or hatred of Monsanto.
And it doesn’t help that the original one was a budget model. (If I remember correctly.)

Personally, I like my mini being a mid-tier device. Apple probably positioned it this way to avoid undercutting their cheapest model. It’s also a bit cramped. You’re sacrificing some usability for size and they’d rather people make that trade off because they want it rather than it being cheaper.
Where are you getting a 30% drop in 2022? The BoC data shows <10% from the absolute peak to the absolute trough. https://housepriceindex.ca/#chart_change=c11

If you cherry pick the localized data, even the worst off suburbs of Toronto you see a dip of just over 22% with a pretty quick reversion to the mean. If you look at metro areas, none of the cities in Canada saw greater than 10% drops from 2022 peaks, and they have all recovered from the bottom.
Gave up having a phone a year ago, when even the cheapest "prepaid" plans went to $30/mo minimum.

I'm way out in the woods, anyway. Verizon ran a tower here I could talk to until a few months before I gave up phone; but then something happened and i'm told its an AT&T tower now. It didn't provide signal anymore, even in the front yard, most of the time.

Having had several years of "phone don't work" is a great way to make switching to "no phone" easier. I just regret the money I spent all those years for a service i didn't really receive.

Same, I’m regrettably at an average of one concussion per year. Some described as mild or moderate TBI.

I would be very cautious after a concussion. I had one in one month (odd to pass out and not fall down) then another the following month (slip and fall) then became disabled for about a year.

I’ve read that supplementing with high dose creatine and exercise can help post concussion or with migraines which I regularly get now.
I think "SHAKEN/STIR" is supposed to fix this long term. I'm not sure why it's taking so long, but I believe phones will already indicate if the phone call has a verified caller id. Probably next step is to just block any non-verified caller. I'm assuming there's just a lot of migration work to happen.

I do this! My personal computers run Windows. I have an iPod touch that I use for listening to music on a stereo in my living room. I use iTunes to manage my music library. When I want more music, I buy CDs (or mp3s if those aren't available).

It's nice owning things. It has no ads, unlimited skips, and music doesn't sporadically disappear.
Hmm, yeah I suppose anything promoting consumer knowledge would be antithesis to ordinary business schemes.

I used a different classless stylesheet once because during a live event I had to have someone who doesn't code at all update an HTML file (and upload it) repeatedly and I wanted to make it as simple as possible for them.

I wonder when an EV bike becomes available that replaces my BMW R1200GS's abilities.

Consider this: I can do 200 miles, refill, continue riding, then refill, continue riding, then get to my destination as it turns dark because on these adventures it's hard to plan exactly ahead.

With EV's however, it's a different picture. You don't have a way of charging on real adventures (going mostly offroad), the weight of the bike would be even worse, the range questionable.

Will a proper alternative ever exist? The energy density of Lithium ion batteries is so far far off.

Even today - using gasoline, you can easily find yourself in situations where even 200 mile range is not sufficient (especially if there's an incident and you need to back track 50 miles, etc).
Serious question because a few more minutes of Googling than I should've taken couldn't answer it: did Baker set her own salary, or did the Mozilla board collectively set it? Is any of that released by Mozilla?

Laura Chambers, the interim CEO, is listed on Mozilla's website as "member of the compensation committee". Karim Lakhani's chair of the compensation committee and has been on the board since 2016. So I'm assuming the same people who decided to pay Baker $7M/year are still there?
So you discount mozilla actually implementing and maintaining a separate multiplatform browser engine and a whole ass language for that and instead find more value in forking other people's work and adding rudimentary features on top of it? I would have imagined someone who used to be firefox advocate since 3.0 to be used to getting subpar performance.
