Note: Deforestation continues at a record pace in tropical areas, which leads to less trees and plants to consume the CO2. The exact parts of the planet that should be thriving is being turned into cattle pastures.

The other big sink for CO2 is the ocean, which does not thrive on CO2. CO2 in water turns the water more acidic, which affects the base of the food chain.

There's no propaganda that suggests that plants don't thrive in CO2.

This isn't "Woke Mind Virus", it's just Corporate Pandering. Apple has a huge PR problem with their factories in China, and they've determined that it's cheaper to "Be Green" than to fix their supply chain or move manufacturing back to the US. Their moves towards being green aren't "Bad", but they wouldn't be doing it if they didn't have to create PR to paper over the things they're doing that are actually Bad.
how about actually trying it instead of supposing it would work.

Sigh. The water condenses on cooler surfaces INSIDE the AC unit and drains outside. This is why mold grows on the squirrel cage and the walls of the blower housing. Even happens on wall mounted split units.
We already know this technique works, it's how any asynchronous database replication is implemented.

I've read all of your content and I can see nothing even close to, for example, the Spanner or Amazon Dynamo paper which go through the operation details of how the systems work. Literally your articles are just a bunch of metaphors followed by hand waving. No operational details.

I don't know if you know you're selling snake oil or just don't understand what you're implementing, but even in this thread you've gotten plenty of feedback that how you describe what you're doing is not coherent, you might want to address that. Or not, I don't know, if you're selling like hot cakes then keep doing it.

Isn't the typical way to do this by using a janitor? This would typically need to be done in user space (the framework doesn't know what cleanup you want to do), but Bevy could provide an interface for it with callbacks or whatever is more idiomatic in Rust/Bevy.

I think Silverlight was making deep inroads in the enterprise market for rich internet apps and that this was a growing customer retention issue for Adobe with Flash. That's part of why they invested so much in Flex and AIR as a more engineering-centric alternative to the Flash app's designer-centric timeline interface. They wanted to shore up what they were losing to Microsoft.

The consumer usage of Flash was most visible (games, cartoons, brochure sites, video streaming) and Apple's evisceration of that market was what ultimately killed Flash, but things were already looking grim on several fronts before that happened.
Because there is no clear objective success criterion.

Further, once consultants are being paid, they're disincentivized to actually accomplish this incredibly broad and nebulous goal. It allows politicians to campaign on more secure computing, but never actually accomplishing anything except profiting from their spouse being one of these consultants. And by never solving the problem, it continues, which only further justifies spending more money to "fix" the problem.

You might call this cynical, it's not, it's realistic. I challenge you to find an example where this level of corruption isn't taking place, and explain what makes you so confident that will be the case for this specific issue, drawing specifically on areas of contrast.

If you can overcome the government corruption, you still have to overcome the lobbyists. You can't do both except in situations where the corporations are in cahoots with the government.
That was interesting. At first it reads like it could have been a deep investigation. Then you realize that with the right 3 datasets, it's trivial to reveal this level of attempted obfuscation.

All the stuff mentioned in the article is accurate – better raw data, faster computers, smaller grids, better predictive algorithms etc. all result in vastly better weather info in general today. This also means though that you have to put in more effort to get a better result for yourself. What algorithm is the app using? Does it localize all the way to your neighborhood, or your street? How frequently does it update? Is your GPS accurate? People generally don't think about this stuff, but some fine tuning can result in vastly better results.

One thing I came to appreciate about growing up on the east coast was how much more accurate the forecasts were than they are in Southern California. The winds pushing east, the expansive radar coverage over USA that's publicly available, and the commercial airlines collecting weather data means the storms and weather systems are well understood as they're coming over. Plus the storms make nice straight lines from north to south that push through. In Southern California the rain forecasts always seem off. Even right now, it's raining and the forecast told me it was just supposed to be a little cloudy.

I would guess it is mostly down to option 2, coupled with the fact that aspects such as precipitation onset are possibly not something that actually has improved much: the examples given are hurricane tracks and atmospheric pressure which don't obviously couple tightly to when it starts raining.
The root cause for DEVELOPERS is Apple.

You keep repeating my problem with this and proving my point.

My problem is that all of the focus on this is on developers and not the users.

The key reason I bought my iPhone as a USER is because of the restrictions put in place on the App Store by Apple.

Do you see the difference?

I fully understand why Developers don't like these restrictions. I am saying I don't care because again, as the user those restrictions are a positive for me.
Hmm, interesting. And I know it's definitely an area I don't know. Although I didn't see any in those Rules that restricted the scope to the current matter in which the attorney is providing counsel.
eventually we will reach the limits of what can be discovered with physics. the same applies here. eventually the limit of what a human can improve on through a job will be done. is this that point? idk but there will be one time that "new jobs" arent made
Last I checked it's still missing language server and integrated debugger support.

That and being macOS only, seem like major roadblockers to major adoption.
If this is the case, it would be more inline with how other complex professions work.

Entry level positions in fields like medicine, law, the sciences, architecture, engineering etc can require years of intensive training before you're skilled enough to take on the role even at entry level.
On a related note, is it a good idea to sell access to the same API your app is using under the hood? Why or why not?
I phrased that badly.

I was trying to say that any monopoly organization will have similar dysfunctions that a state has.

My thought is that states aren't dysfunctional primarily because they're states, but because they're monopolies.
If only that even closely resembled the true cost to attend college.

None of what Bitcoin Fog did appears to be money laundering according to the definition on that page, since it requires an "intent to promote the carrying on of specified unlawful activity".

The people using Bitcoin Fog might be engaged in money laundering if they were using it for something otherwise illegal, but I don't see how you could argue the service itself was unless they somehow knew the purpose behind every transaction occurring on their platform.
Not necessarily worse, but different. I think that's what makes this newsworthy.

I’m saying they the math clearly shows there aren’t enough 500k earners who will pay the tax to pay the UBI recipients.

And it frustrates me that people include whether people will or won’t take jobs paying $500k because of higher taxes. It’s not relevant to the discussion of “how will we fund UBI when the most basic calculations show it’s not possible.”

UBI is a good thing, but I think the way we fund it has to be realistically discussed.
The moment that you can train an AI to be a good developer just with a java manual and some slides on design patterns, your analogy will make sense.

But for now an AI requires billion of times more data than a human brain to extrapolate anything useful. Which means that your comparison is meaningless.
Letting the management of McDonald Douglas the company they bought because it was failing due to safety failures take over the company that was nominally acquiring them was a ridiculous mistake but the management class protects their own over making good decisions all the time. The rot has been pervasive for years at Boeing it's just finally becoming too fully realized to be papered over.
haha, yeah can't say I'm a fan of the MS store either, but it works.

Wick looks fun. Looking at the Github repo, it looks like it isn't in active development anymore.

> That is the key finding of a new study tracking the career paths of more than 10 million people who entered the job market over the past decade. It suggests that the number of graduates in jobs that don’t make use of their skills or credentials—52%—is greater than previously thought, and underscores the lasting importance of that first job after graduation.

Imagine how much effort and fiat was incinerated in aggregate for folks to obtain schooling and a credential that is effectively worthless.
Show HN: Run `SSH bitbop.io`, get a personal GPU dev machine
Hi HN! I've been hacking on this side project for the last month or two with the goal of making it dead simple to use cloud GPUs.

I ran into this problem personally during the phd, and built my own tooling around it. I always thought it'd be fun to try to turn that tooling into a more general product... and bitbop.io is the result!

All you have to do is run `ssh bitbop.io`, and you get your own personal dev GPU workstation in the cloud.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Not every app needs monetization. And it's not exactly like 'just publish on the regular app store' is a fantastic option, since that still requires you to pay a developer fee.

It will be ironic if Meta sinks all this money into the new trend and finds out later that it has been a huge boondoggle, just as publishers followed Facebook's "guidance" on video being the future, subsequently gutting the talent pool and investing into video production and staff - only to find out it was all a total waste.
Which is still about twice of what I paid for my entire bachelors and masters education in germany and it included a ticket for the entire public transport system in my city for the entire 5 years and full access to _very_ comprehensive library (of both physical books and e-books so there was no need to buy even a single book during my studies).

I may speak from a perspective of ignorance here but I believe 6000$ a year is still prohibitively expensive for a lot of people, especially if they don't want to accrue debt.
In physics of the impossible (in 2008, I know a lot of our opinions of the author have shifted) Michio Kaku makes a pretty good case that force fields are the least likely phenomenon to exist.

There’s just not a field that hangs out in space and forms a repulsive boundary to matter as its interaction, besides matter.

The EM field kinda, but no one means big magnets when they think of a practical force field (if so, “QED,” they already exist) :p
...for instance, by a larger shift towards service-sector jobs (e.g. janitorial work, dining and entertainment, and retail sales).

It is the case that productivity has grown with automation, but at the same time, median wages have stagnated, as the number of high-paying jobs have steadily shrank. Considering inflation, median income has been stagnant since about 1965. But productivity is at an all time high. But all the wealth that that generates is not going out into the world, its being concentrated.

I'm in automation with physical machines, and there's a part of me that sincerely hopes that the continuing automation of various jobs leads to a golden age where society's basic needs are always met by robots, and we're free to pursue our passions. But I'm honestly not optimistic that that will happen without a series of (likely bloody) revolutions and counter-revolutions until either the species is extinguished or our social system finally achieves a new equilibrium.AI can definitely be understood as an invasive species or a natural disaster in terms of the impact it has to our social ecosystem.
I one time attempted to write a blog post about escaping stuff in rss feeds, while technically correct nothing could parse the rss feed for the blog.
> Security is a really good reason to restrict access to the system from anything other than installed software.

The security requirements differ depending on the specific API/feature we talk about.

The API that allows for app installation is itself covered by the provision, as the App Store is a service that Apple provides.

The security measures Apple could implement here are enforced notarization and source restriction settable by the user.

> or you want the DMA to be more than it can be, and are so angry that Apple is flaunting its limitations that you aren't thinking rationally.

Please refrain from doing personal accusations here, as per the guidelines.
This is awesome to bootstrap some ideas. The question is can it work with (large) existing code bases or modify it's own code. Guess a good test would be, can it reproduce Devin;)
Our most vulnerable populations wouldn't be of any interest as crew members of a spacecraft. They're the ones who wouldn't get to go at all.

The point of a crew wouldn't be to demonstrate human safety, but rather to do things automation can't currently do (e.g. improvise solutions based on a deep and broad background of general knowledge + specific training coupled with high basic intellect, in austere environments under great personal stress). People like that don't get their foreheads tattooed for money.
The only no/low-code backends I've seen that are worth anything are data migration tools like fivetran that do ETL/ELT from source data to target and let you apply some basic transformation. Even then, they have a very low ceiling before you need python or SQL to do anything useful.

Generally speaking, the golden rule of product development is to identify the problem first, then figure out what will solve it.
The number of people who are in the traditional college age bracket is falling as a result of variations in the birthrate and immigration rate.

Some schools are more effected by these demographic issues than others. Institutions that are focused on educating lots of people economically, like CSU, can be expected to feel the demographic swings far more than places like Stanford or Berkeley which are over-subscribed and are likely to remain so.
Wow, this comment got a lot of attention!

If anyone is wondering the other piece of this, which is re-unifying all the thousands of video fragments, the game is over once you have the URI to the playlist file.

Not one you could carry. One with an initial mass of 606,000 metric tons would have an initial power output of 160 petawatts, most of which was so high energy you'd have to worry about proton-antiproton creation on every atom those photons interact with, and it would still have a 3.5-year lifespan.

The lower the mass, the worse it gets.

Lucky for you, you are still able to distribute your free app for free on the Apple App Store. No surprise costs if your app becomes incredibly popular, and better still- that's where the vast majority of people will continue to go for getting new apps (regardless of this legislation) so it's free exposure for you as well.

Splitting up needs to happen for big and monopolistic US companies, no ifs, no buts. That is if they still want to keep a technological edge in the next 10-15 years.

I personally don’t think that the forced split-up will happen, the direct interests involved are too big for that to have any chance of success, but it’s the only way forward for the US as a whole (when it comes to IT).
