I don't think most of them have any kind of secret sauce. I think the founders hope to get bought out simply for being able to train "near-SOTA" LLMs. I guess achieving that level of skill and infra could be valuable enough to build upon.

For the history in the US of how streets when from being 'mixed use' pre-automobiles to being basically only about automobiles see Fighting Traffic by Peter D. Norton:

> Before the advent of the automobile, users of city streets were diverse and included children at play and pedestrians at large. By 1930, most streets were primarily a motor thoroughfares where children did not belong and where pedestrians were condemned as "jaywalkers." In Fighting Traffic, Peter Norton argues that to accommodate automobiles, the American city required not only a physical change but also a social one: before the city could be reconstructed for the sake of motorists, its streets had to be socially reconstructed as places where motorists belonged. It was not an evolution, he writes, but a bloody and sometimes violent revolution. Norton describes how street users struggled to define and redefine what streets were for. He examines developments in the crucial transitional years from the 1910s to the 1930s, uncovering a broad anti-automobile campaign that reviled motorists as "road hogs" or "speed demons" and cars as "juggernauts" or "death cars." He considers the perspectives of all users--pedestrians, police (who had to become "traffic cops"), street railways, downtown businesses, traffic engineers (who often saw cars as the problem, not the solution), and automobile promoters. He finds that pedestrians and parents campaigned in moral terms, fighting for "justice." Cities and downtown businesses tried to regulate traffic in the name of "efficiency." Automotive interest groups, meanwhile, legitimized their claim to the streets by invoking "freedom"--a rhetorical stance of particular power in the United States. Fighting Traffic offers a new look at both the origins of the automotive city in America and how social groups shape technological change.Peter D. Norton is Assistant Professor in the Department of Science, Technology, and Society at the University of Virginia.

I don't really know if the HEPA is doing its thing, but I got higher static pressure GDSTIME 5015 fans and can feel the airflow out the other end, past both the HEPA and carbon. As far as visual 'evidence', I can only go off the HEPA filter having turned pink after a printing with a lot of red filament. I mostly just keep it in because the pack of 10 filters was cheap, and the carbon is still doing its job despite the HEPA.
It's a good question.

From the EU point of view it may be simply one of scale. If any of those held the amount of market power Apple does, I suspect the EU would designate them Gatekeepers and we would be off to the races.

From the games publisher point of view, the console manufacturer is actually adding significant value and taking a fair (or not so fair) margin in exchage. Apple detracts value, contributes nothing and then charges a huge margin for it. I can see why Epic views it differently.
And, it must be so hard to tell if a Palestinian with a rifle is of Hamas (or another fighting group), or a civilian...
What I really want: dictionaries derived from the standards and standard libraries (perhaps once a year or somesuch), which I'd use independently of build system gunk, and while it wouldn't be the tightest squeeze you can get, it would make my non-built assets get very close to built asset size for small to medium sized deployments.

Apple doesn’t compete with the Epic Games Store on Windows anymore than the Epic Games Store competes with the App Store on iPhones.

EDIT: just realized I originally mixed up Origin and the Epic Games Store. My bad.
> Yea that seems fine, no monopolistic behavior here, it's only 49% of the phone market so it's fine.

Why is this downvoted?

I am shocked, people actually think that automatic updates are very good? Because for me, it is trivial that automatic updates are very bad. One of the greatest security risk of extensions are due to automatic updates, they can't be verified, since they change.

edit : BTW I've submitted a related submission about Guerilla Script, a userscript injecting engine, where userscripts are not even updateable: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39620863 This is the ideal way of safe extensions IMO
Problem is every single update claims to be security fixes, like for Android. Now I realise almost any bugfix can be construed as a security fix, but I've never seen an Android update that doesn't claim to include security updates, and I've never seen one that goes into any kind of detail(in the pop up prompt that is) on what any of the updates entail.

Probably some of those were critical, and some of them were completely unlikely to affect real world security. As a user, how do I know when to take it seriously and when not to? All I'm told by the UI is that every single update they push "improves security and performance".

My device is mine, not everyone else's. It's not your decision to make regardless of whether or not you think it's best for the "greater good".
Yep.

That being said, I really like VS Code's approach of having auto-updates enabled by default, but making a switch to turn off the feature available for nerds like us who care.

That's the model to follow in my book.

Really? I've always considered Gruber to be an Apple fanboy. He might write criticisms, but they read to me like a Deadhead penning an essay on why Aoxomoxoa isn't as good as Terrapin Station or something.

Ultimately, Gruber knows his audience is Apple enthusiasts and his material comes from being given access by Apple.

I'm a very weird person with money. I've basically got enough already, even though there are people on this forum who earn more per year than I have in total. My average expenditure is less than €1k/month.

This means I have no idea how to even think about people who could be bribed when they already earn a million a year.

But also, if AI can be developed as far as the dreamers currently making it real hope it can be developed, money becomes as useless to all of us as previous markers of wealth like "a private granary" or "a lawn" or "aluminium cutlery"[0].

Microsoft is doing this same thing with OpenAI connectors in the Power Automate space?
What? It was written by a human in 2017 and worked then

The code is from: https://machinelearningmastery.com/xgboost-with-python/

Point being, this was firmly "AI" in 2017. It is still widely useful today.

Is it no longer AI? If so why?

Do people believe in the code above less now? If so, why? If not, then the title is wrong if it's AI.
Do the interfaces for third party GPU drivers even still exist on the ARM version of macOS? The discrete GPU support that Intel Macs had was officially scrapped in the ARM transition, so that driver infrastructure is dead weight as far as Apple is concerned.
At the end of the year, the EU will require importers of certain commodities (coffee, cocoa, cattle, palm oil, etc) to have evidence the commodity was not grown on deforested land. It's called the EUDR[1], and I don't think a lot of importers are ready for it.

The crux of the issue is each importer requires verifiable satellite evidence. I could see suppliers using this site to generate their compliance statements!

I'm totally ok with their behavior. My next phone will likely be an iPhone.

If I wasn't okay with it, then I'd buy one of the multiple other options.

There are alternatives to Android even. They're terrible phones with terrible platforms: that's why people don't want them.

Apple makes an excellent phone with an excellent platform. I'm fine with letting them do that to the maximum degree they're able.
...says the 1st party, in a world where 1st party malware is a serious problem.
It certainly threatens their app store revenue, and by extension market value, so it's rational for them to push back, but by no means is it an "existential problem". Apple is quite a bit more than just the app store.

There's probably risks on both sides here, too: Playing hardball with EU regulators and courts could cost them a lot of money.
Israel has ordered hospitals to evacuate, e.g.: https://healthpolicy-watch.news/who-calls-for-israel-to-resc...

I think you're generally wrong on the "they have not been doing" comment. Israel has been giving warnings, and those warnings were intentionally being ignored to maximize the damage to Israel's reputation. But if you have some comprehensive data here I'd be interested in seeing it.

From my observation the pattern has been Israel giving warnings/ordering evacuations with the response being "it can't be done" only to end with significantly more difficult conditions.

Israel did demand that the entirety of Northern Gaza be evacuated from civilians (including those "camps" you mention, more below, and including all those hospitals) which was again pushed back on as "impossible" or physically prevented by Hamas which in turn caused increased civilian casualty rates and the eventual almost full evacuation under significantly more difficult conditions.

The use of the terminology "refugee camps" is also confusing. Some of what the media refers to as "refugee camps" are permanent settlements, effectively cities, where the population consists of many 1948 refugees. Not what most people think about when they hear "refugee camps". As to why heavy bombs are used I'm not an expert but potentially to penetrate deeper and there might be other reasons.

All that said, I think it should be acknowledged that some of the methods Israel is using are likely to try and achieve some psychological advantage against the enemy. I don't think this that's necessarily a violation of international law given that warnings were given. It's within the realm of what I would call a military objective (demoralizing the enemy forces and destroying their infrastructure).

“That’s also the reason that for initial content I have decided to add Reddit content through scraping.”

This is not okay. Your project is a good idea, I think, but what you mention above and literal content theft, not even trying to get consent to use someone else’s content to promote your own product, is extremely bad faith despite you convincing yourself otherwise.

Why not just publish the code and let someone clone and host it if you care so little about taking it further? Sell the domain? Why taint it with stolen content by individuals that have no clue your site exists?
Show HN: Tool to generate SVG logo diagrams of a tech ecosystem
I wanted a diagram to visually represent the stack of tools, in my case centered around Kubernetes which actually make up the Platform which folks build on top of in a company.
Couldn't find an easy way to do that, so built a tool for it - you give it a simple YAML config file with a list of tools organised into groups, it downloads SVG logos and builds a graph diagram for you.
Hope it helps someone!

Who is looking at your SAT score from 10 years ago?
Define "associate" or "friend" and how to classify it. It would be ridiculous that you could disqualify someone for bank role because one hangs out with "known felon" but possibly unknown to them at gym or alumni BBQ. Surely you would straight reject anyone coming from neighborhood with high crime level, which is reinforcing criminal stereotype discrimination.
Great idea. I imported a Scottish Parliament meeting (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2WPUzr5ieI), you can see the results here: https://app.circleback.ai/view/ltg9d70asxk05j1fyaq.

Right now, speaker identification (and thus everything downstream that depends on that) works better for meetings where Circleback joins the call (compared to those imported) but I wanted to share this anyway.
DMA enforcement only started today. Until today, all these plans were just words on a paper. The EC will only look at the real state of the world now that enforcement has started, and make their enforcement decisions based on that and the public feedback. They aren't giving any kind of pre-approvals or pre-denials to the plans.

(If they were pre-evaluating plans, the optimal play for the gatekeepers would be to propose something totally unreasonable, and then negotiate it to something that's mostly unreasonable but just barely acceptable to the EC. That would be a bad outcome for the EC. So from a game theory perspective, they're better of making the companies guess at what will be acceptable rather than negotiating, since the companies will want to be conservative.)
This is why 'low sugar' and 'low fat' foods aren't really any better for you. They usually make up for the reduction by increasing the other thing.
A debugger can only tell you what the executable does: the program compiled with a particular compiler on a particular platform, with particular code generation options.

It can tell you that i = i++ increased i by 2, for instance. That might not even be true of another instance of i = i++ in the same object file being debugged.

There is no substitute for knowing what the C will do before it is run.
Julia seems such a great language for doing mathematical/scientific work the right way. It's such a shame that Python has bulldozed it's way into all these fields. What's the famous saying in software development - Worse is better. Not sure if that debate was ever settled but in this particular case definitely seems to be true.
ideals vs reality
I wouldn't say it's a crude way of approaching the problem, it's a crude way of solving the problem. Taking the fraud example, taking unsupervised approaches to understanding patterns of the data before you impose assumptions on the data is a very useful process. For example, what might be fraudulent behaviors in the first place, assuming you aren't even sure you know what fraud looks like, or that it's actually all been detected? Your goal there might be to detect latent features period, not look at their predictive power for X.

Having understood that question, and built an understanding of what predicts fraud, you would then graduate to build models to understand the extent to which features predict fraudulence.

My point in context of the conversation is that it's useful in a business context to explore and understand that data.

I saw the table but it appears to be wrong or misleading. None of the cards are over 2% unlimited.

If you click through the links to the bank websites, they say:

2- It shows the card is actually 1.5%

3- It is actually 1.5% (only 2.5% on the first 10K)

4- It is actually mostly 1%. (3% cash back on gas and EV charging and 2% on utilities and groceries (with a combined $1,000 monthly spend cap)—and 1% on all other eligible purchases)

5- Also 1.5%

Didn't keep going.

What about the first one? It says "up to 3 points per dollar". The words "up to" sound supicious. And what is a point worth? I spent 2-3 minutes on the website and didn't find answers to any of these questions so I concluded it's not really 3% cash back. Perhaps I'm wrong on this one but when they make the info so hidden it usually means there is a catch.

I don't think I would agree. Well it depends exactly what you imagine.

There are probably an infinite and always growing and changing number of repo-adjacent things similar to the handful of added features that github currently tacks on to git.

I think it doesn't make sense for git, already complicated enough, to try to do all of that other related stuff, however related.

Maybe in fact git is already doing too much meaningful metadata work directly itself, and should instead try to switch it's current metadata into some kind of generic interface that other software could hook in to better?

So rather than git managing, say, issues, git just manages data. Not merely a db, it would facilitate associating high level feature data like issues and ci and conversations with low level commit data. An issue tracker would just be one of many clients using the interface.

git itself should probably not know very much about the data other than how it is associated to some commit. IE, the actual meaning of the data is either only in the consumer, or perhaps is some agreed standard that multiple consumers adhere to and understand, or perhaps comes with it's own schema definition like dtd or protobuf. Or all of the above, a paid product could have data only it understands, and other software could use standardized data, all stored in git at the same time. Multiple different consumers could use the same generic interface to their own data.

Because these add-on related functions are probably not universal or done being invented. Tomorrow there will be 5 new things you want to attach to a repo besides what github provides today, and so without even knowing what they are, that's how I know it's wrong for git to provide the features itself.

But managing the data without caring what the data is, that could totally be a new built in git function, where you give git itself one new function and interface, and an open-ended number of new feature-providing consumers all just use the same underlying git feature in whatever way they want.

Other than that the only other new thing I think that might be right to add to git itself is a proper way to manage large binary assets.
this plus lack of performance eval/culture/strategy to grow responsibly and enable future success

its a great learning experience though despite what people say about the inability to learn the new hot hot tech. the nuance of software development is the decisions that other people make, that is inescapable and is a skill worth developing. i'm not buying the "just do a startup" because i think its a cop out.
That, but also because you interpreted a question to be a form of generalization.

It may be an extreme case, but it's no more an edge case than the millions who drop weight eating a vegan diet or a high fat diet. By definition, there is no edge case for the human body because nobody designed it. It developed with pressures to encourage it to handle foreign substances in different ways. There's no programmer who made the human but left out the part of efficiently metabolizing walnuts as a form of oversight.

> you think thats some sort of death knell to the general principle

Yes, it completely defeats the general principle, and if it didn't then those insisting on CICO would reply with more than "how can you actually believe what I don't believe?"

> if you eat more calories than you burn you will store it as fat?

If it was simple as that, then we wouldn't have glycogen stores because... why bother when anything not immediately oxidized turns to fat! If it's as simple as that, protein wouldn't ever be used to maintain lean mass but would be all converted to glucose and then into fat by the liver (not at all efficient). If it's as simple as that, then we would never shit. Don't believe me? I challenge you to collect your stool, dry it out, and light it on fire. Look – calories!
