That's their "agenda" for the public. The real agenda is to protect Canadian's capital and to prevent communism from ever taking place in Canada. As any other western secret service.

> If they were caught lying, it would erode trust and disrupt their agenda.

Oh boy, I wish the world was such a nice place.
The secret service MO when caught lying is to firmly deny it in spite of all evidence and keep doing what they do.

That's true but if the UK military intentionally embeds in all UK cities, in civilian clothes, and launches rockets at Russia from those cities, and the UK sends raids into Russia to kill Russians and then retreats and mixes with civilian population in the UK, what do you feel is a legitimate move or tactic by Russia to defend its citizens in this hypothetical situation?

Really?

If AWS unilaterally cut egress fees 100x, then a few things might happen:

GCP and Azure customers might migrate to AWS or have very serious phone calls with their account reps. (Hmm, GCP customers might be unable to reach an account rep.)

Third party providers, who are currently stuck in AWS, GCP and Azure because their customers can’t afford egress if they move out, will consider alternative hosting. This is IMO a big one, but it has nothing to do with whether GCP and Azure play along.

Some customers might shut down their colocated systems and move into AWS.

Why is being first a problem?
I did it for fun about a year ago and found out I had T2 diabetes.

I was shocked but obviously glad I found out. I use them from time to time just to see how I’m doing and how different foods (and amounts of them) impact me.

I found I can control it through diet alone and exercising when there is a spike by using a GCM for the constant feedback.

They are very expensive here though (UK) and my doctor won’t prescribe me one because metformin is cheaper, so it’s not something I can use all the time.

I hate needles, this really isn’t like a needle though, it’s a small filament which sits just under your skin, you can’t feel it, I thought it hadn’t gone in until I saw the reading appear on my phone.

Some things I found out besides what foods and amounts give me big spikes are that I have a blood glucose spike in the morning just before I wake up, and that if I eat a small enough portion of white rice, ice cream, bread, whatever I can reduce the spike quickly by going for a walk. If I had a lot though, a walk isn’t going to help.
This underlines what a shame it is that we so rarely get to read postmortems on startups from people without a strong motivation — whether social or financial — to paint a rosy picture.

Sure, but a blood glucose monitor isn't a dietary supplement. I think it's a bit dodgy that that kind of disclaimer means anything for a dietary supplement in the first place, but it certainly shouldn't apply to a medical device.

At least I think it's pretty rare for a sold extension to be turn malicious in a way that it could do permanent damage, such as stealing your passwords. It's usually more along the lines of excessively invasive tracking or injecting their own ads; while I absolutely wouldn't want that normally, I probably wouldn't lose sleep over it if I learned that it had happened for 24 hours before I uninstalled the extension. That being said I would definitely like a better solution to this problem.
The Reddit screenshot is hilarious. But it reflects my feelings whenever I want to install a product made by many of these self-proclaimed "open source" companies that bend over backwards to make it almost impossible to install the open version (...and often to discover the crucial features are missing anyway).
What I was trying to express is that a protocol based on simple electricity/gates and logic is so simple that it almost has to exist and almost all that RS-232 consists of.

Yep pretty much.

Why would NATO want to antagonize or threaten Russia directly? That's a serious question because neither the US nor Western Europe had any desire to start any direct or indirect conflict with Russia since 1991..

> missiles close to the Russian heartland.

Any factual evidence? In any case you do realize there are Russian missiles in Kaliningrad so following the same logic you would agree that Poland/Germany/Sweden etc. have a legitimate right to invade it to demilitarize and "denazify" it (in this case of course for real because Russia at this point is literally a fascist state, it ticks all the boxes after all) following the same "logic"?
T1D here who has been using Dexcom G6 for many years now. Interesting to see the differences between Stelo and G7 which are built on the same platform.

Curious if anything is driving the increase in wear time other than battery life savings from reporting back fewer readings.

Wear time: 10 / 15 days
Time between readings: 5 / 15 minutes
Woops I am sorry I didn't mean to comment that.
For the record I sync my files using a method similar to that user, rather than using Dropbox. I imagine plenty of HN users do the same. I'm making this recommendation to other hackers on here who don't mind getting their hands dirty.

> Working in this space (however you want to say it) costs a lot of money.

Not necessarily? OpenAI deliberately chooses to scale their models vertically, which incumbents like Google and Meta had largely avoided. Their "big innovation" was GPT-4, an LLM of unprecedented scale that brute-forced it's way to the top. The Open Source 72b+ models of today generally give it a run for it's money, the party trick is over.

Nitpicking the definitions is important, because for OpenAI it's unclear what comes next. Consumers don't know what to expect, portions of the board appear to be in open rebellion, and our goal of AGI remains yet-undefined. I simply don't trust OpenAI (or Elon, for that matter) to do the right thing here.
Depends on the ruling and laws. I'm sure someone who didn't allow homosexual couples would not want to welcome them even after it was ruled as unconstitutional to discriminate to them in the US (even if they are middle eastern and laws in their homeland do allow for that). They were technically rowdy customers but the law allows them to be in as long as their rowdiness was due to their identity and not other neutral actions (although we know they will be judged much more harshly on those actions as an attempt to disciminate).

A bit of a crude comparison, but I hope it gets the point across that the behavior depends. retaliating against rules that the EU later determines to be bad rules may open a case to allow them, as long as they don't break other rules.

Steve Yegge mentions the book in the "Compilers, why learn them?" episode,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o87pOVK8khc&t=1939s

"you're not done actually when you learn how compilers work you also need to
learn how linkers and loaders work and you need to learn how to operating
systems work before all of the magic is gone. So you really want to learn
compilers and operating systems and then get this book that I have called Linkers
and Loaders it's like the only book on linkers and loaders. I should have
brought it and uh and it's really good"

This blog post gave me a great deal of self confidence.

While I have no doubts how good the author and his friends are, all of their ideas were quite intuitive and simple to understand.

The kind of "I could've come with the same idea" type. Realistically I would've not for many reasons but it is still stuff I can grasp and even gives me ideas while reading.

Which is different from the general hacker idea I have of someone in a basement exploiting extremely far fetched and hard to grasp for me memory corruptions in some cache dumping some random bytes like the very complex attacks like Spectre I've read about.

It also makes me think that if most of the applications I have worked on haven't been attacked and easily exploited is because honestly nobody bothered.

> they would raise prices on other services to keep their margins consistent. The market knows this and thus why the market doesn't react to non-news like this.

I’m unconvinced. A lot of money is spent on third party services (think Snowflake, but there are a ton) where the third party service is offered in AWS, GCP, and Azure. There is no on-the-Internet option.

If egress fees go away, on-the-Internet becomes appealing, and there goes a lot of revenue. If fees for other services go up, on-the-Internet becomes even more appealing.
Non invasive would be a golden goose. I don’t think I want to have something sticking into my skin for weeks on end.
Epic isn't Apple's customer. Apple is just the local (techno)feudal lord / rentier wanting to tax all merchants trying to sell goods to Apple's serfs.
I recently had an unusual health event that resulted in me passing out. My wife, who is a physician, thought it might be hypoglycemia, since i'm at high risk for diabetes. She found a super friendly endocrinologist who put me on a CGM for two weeks. I never hit the hypoglycemia range during those two weeks, so it didn't really explain what my issue... but honestly the data was SUPER interesting. Just observing the various spikes made me make healthier choices, or noticing when I was feeling extra tired and seeing if that correlated to not having eaten for little while, or eating something sugary before.

It's sort of like tracking your steps when you first get a smart watch. It may not have been the reason you got the device, but seeing the data, people are encouraged to act on it, even if you don't have an acute issue. since I didn't have a prescription, I couldn't get one here (didn't want to go through some sketch online site). I tried to get one from my family in India, but the prices were really high and they couldn't get the fancier one that tracks straight to your phone, so I didn't get one.

I think this could be a god send for preventing pre-diabetic people who would take preventative steps if it weren't such a pain in the ass to measure consistently.
I'm not OP, but had I seen that I would have skipped this entire thread. I have nearly zero interest in what a socialist critic who normally covers cycling thinks about F1, its sponsors, or anyone else involved with the sport (or their thoughts on equestrian sports, sailing, offshore powerboat racing, air racing, or polo for that matter).

The magazine's EIC was right: the article had no place in an enthusiast's magazine, well-written or not. Mother Jones or similar would be an ideal place for it. I wonder if the online editors who approved it were trying to move towards a politicized editorial tone more typified by Jalopnik [0] than Road & Track.

That is the point. But there are multiple players in the system, each can point their finger somewhere else.

The Western consumer purchases vehicles from whatever selection is manufactured. Presumably advertising works, if it didn't it wouldn't be run. What is available, what is advertised? Lots of gas guzzlers. Why do the manufacturers make them? Some people want them. Some don't.
Consumers also want to consume. So more ships fling more goods and cruise passengers around the globe with super bad emissions. Consumers want to fly everywhere, same thing. Consumers wouldn't consume if the thing to consume wasn't offered, but it is.

oh that is super cool! Yeah, Microsoft did the OS for Dreamcast so I guess it makes sense that there could have been an attempt to port the WebTV experience to the console. Also, this sent me down a rabbit hole that makes me want to try to get a broadband adapter for my Dreamcast, as dumb as that would be, so thank you for this, but also f-you (affectionate -- I'm genuinely thankful to remember the fun I had as a young teenager with the most underrated video game console of all time).
Linkedin is down? Does this mean I went be able to get cold approaches from people kindly inviting me to follow their company? I won't get recruitment consultants I never heard of telling me they have all the best candidates in my area? I won't get sales people from Saas companies offering me a 'mutually beneficial' chance to join their network? How will people peddle their pithy advice on 'leadership', while getting high fives from all the other recruiters and management consultants, most of whom seem to be in their early 20's and telling me what I need?
Right.. except that person is just describing actual facts.

Also why do you feel the need to make such pointless contributions?
Totally agree on the baseline. We’ve found that adding multimodal data like what was onscreen to be a big help to improve over this, which is a little more complex. Helps more to add action data to like who was typing in what, where the mouse was, etc.

I’ve also been playing with pulling in knowledge base context or reading relevant web pages for unique words to create that initial prompt and custom vocab automatically.
If one stretches ones leverage to the point where it is considered by authorities as excessive and is forced to make concessions one is not in the position to attack those who attacked ones monopolistic behavior. The technical term is is "sitting in a glass house" and while one figures out the layout of the panels one is advised to refrain from throwing rocks.

The way I see it Apple is lumping past behavior and current behavior of Epic together to make an exclusion decision. But there was a big change between the past and now so the market situation has changed and access to this changed market should not overly depend on information from a very different world otherwise it can be considered at best arbitrary or an attempt to exclude competitors with irrelevant facts. The latter could get expensive.

To the extent they can be, yes.
I would add that that's the type of work our industry is mostly comprised of. What gets usually discussed here in HN is the tip of the iceberg.
I find it grating that all of these types of things say "LLMs" when in fact they literally only work with OpenAI. There are hundreds of variations of LLM models. When it works with only gpt-4-turbo or gpt-3.5-turbo, it's inaccurate to say it's a tool for LLMs in general.
I first learned about "leaky abstractions" from John Cook, who describes* IEEE 754 floats as a leaky abstraction of the reals. I think this is a good way of appreciating floating point for the large group of people who's experience is somewhere between numerical computing experts (who look at every arithmetic operation through the lens of numerical precision) and total beginners (who haven't yet recognized that there can't be a one-to-one correspondence between a point on the real number line and a "float").

You can sideload apks on Android and have alternate app stores too. I don't think the situations are in anyway similar or comparable.
I've long been having a hunch that we're currently in the "wild west of abstraction".

I think we're missing an essential constraint on the way we do abstraction.

My hunch is that this constraint should be that abstractions must be reversible.

Here's an example: When you use a compiler, you can work at a higher layer of abstraction (the higher-level language). But, this means you're now locked into that layer of abstraction. By that I mean, you can no longer work at the lower layer (assembly), even if you wanted to. You could in theory of course modify the compiler output after it's been generated, but then you'd have to somehow manually keep that work in sync whenever you want to re-generate. Using an abstraction kinda locks you into that layer.

I see this problem appearing everywhere:

- Use framework <--> Write from scratch

- Use an ORM <--> Write raw SQL

- Garbage collection <--> Manual memory management

- Using a DSL <--> Writing raw language code

- Cross platform UI framework <--> Native UI code

- ...

I think we're missing a fundamental primitive of abstraction that allows us to work on each layer of abstraction without being locked in.

If you have any thoughts at all on this, please share them here!
Thanks for correcting me on this.

My take (as a subscriber) is still that the majority of information I'm seeing is assimilated and distilled from the more mainstream sources, but I'm possibly underestimating how much comes from their own indexes.

I will admit that for news I tend to use the !gn bang to jump straight to Google News as it tends to be a more complete feed than Kagi's news tab, so wasn't thinking about TinyGem. But I'd also forgotten completely about Kagi's "Small Web" initiative for indexing non-commercial content that's not interlinked enough for other engines to prioritize it. I believe that's what Teclis (and possibly TinyGem as well) concentrates on.

IIRC, the few times I tried routing searches into that index I didn't find much, so I set it aside, but that's probably because I'm usually searching for more widely-consumed content.

What was stopping companies from doing PWAs before? Were they not annoyed at 30% cut? Was the cost of maintaining a separate app for a single platform too small to care about?
I don’t have much insight into htmx + Tailwind, since the last time I worked with Tailwind was like 8 months ago at my prior job - and even then I did very little styling work. With that said, it’s not really clear to me what the connection is between HATEOAS and Tailwind.

FWIW, for the app I’m working on currently, I’m outsourcing most of my styles to Bootstrap, while pushing hard for progressive enhancement via CSS hacks (for effects like expanding/collapsing menus and switching tabs). I’m using htmx when JS is enabled, and regular HTTP for when it’s disabled (the Django back-end renders partial or full pages based on request type). Bootstrap and htmx don’t really step on each other’s toes, and I don’t see why htmx + Tailwind to be different.

If in doubt, experiment!
Their own privacy policy says they share data for marketing purposes. I don't think they'd do that without any compensation and their app includes personalized ads.

HIPAA only covers "protected health information" and not all of the data collected by their products.

They also state: "You can ask us not to use or share certain protected health information for treatment, payment, or our operations. We are not required to agree to your request"

Once a year you can also request that they send you a report on who they shared your data with and why without paying them for it, but it will not include anything involving "treatment, payment, and health care operations, and certain other disclosures (such as any you asked us to make)."

Ummm lol. So now sideloading is allowed (with lots of costs associated mind you) and if someone wants to use it Apple will just kick them off the platform? :')

So first malicious compliance with all the inflated costs and then they don't even allow people to use it. I really hope the EU will crack down on this BS and force Apple to allow real sideloading.

But anyway I've written Apple out of my life a long time ago.
