When it comes to legislators demanding changes to technology, many things are impossible. This isn't one of them. It's only cumbersome to their business model; boo hoo..
watch Corey Schafer videos on youtube - he's an excellent teacher, and will clear you up quickly on that.
Aye! What a flash in the pan that was! I remember being at SXSW in 2010 and people showing off this cool assistant app. A month later, Apple acquired it and then crickets.

When it was finally integrated into iOS, it could just barely set timers. What a waste of an amazing team.
This is why I like paper contracts. I would simply cross out a stupid clause like this before signing.

99% of the time the rep doesn't care, and if the company can't be bothered to put someone on the other side of the table who is actually paying attention or has bargaining power then they deserve it.
Figma has millions of customers. The idea of having a Postgres pod for each one would be nearly impossible without completely overhauling their DB choice.
>People always gonna want their 2x TV.

I think 8k is pretty much the limit for plausible consumer screen size and viewing distance. Few people are going to want a tv large enough that a higher resolution is useful.
> The cost of race detection varies by program, but for a typical program, memory usage may increase by 5-10x and execution time by 2-20x.

That's "let's run the race detector and get some coffee" overhead, not "let's leave it on in dev" overhead.

Still cool that they have it available!
It's a rule that all infrastructure projects will be behind schedule and over budget. A correlary to this is, like a vacuum, a project will always use the money and time that is originally allocated and need more.

With this in mind, the way the current project is being funded and run is actually the most practical way (regardless of the horrible optics): Doing chunks at a time, rather than trying to plan and fund the entire time and cost up front. The fact is that estimations are inherently political and always, always, always incorrect.

Though it seems a ludicrous way to work, the project would never had started had the actual time and cost had been known at the outset. Though some parts of the project cost more because of the lack of complete funding and slower pace (things cost more now), the overall efficiency is actually improved by making sure that the money is spent as needed.

So, if they're saying it'll cost another $100B to complete, the real cost is probably $250B. If they say it'll be done by 2030, it'll probably be 2035 at the earliest. And that's fine. As a country we need to stop thinking in the short term. Unless we want to start acting like China and just bulldoze our way across the country regardless of property owners, residents and the environment, this is how it has to be.

Anyone who's been on this earth for more than a few decades should know this by now.
Minimum speed still requires almost all the equipment to be running.
I celebrate it on the 31st of April, like normal people.
The problem with Ikea is once you have to move them around. Or if you have kids/dogs jumping up and down the sofa, etc.

The particleboard connections aren't very sturdy.
Not necessarily. If your work uses AWS and only needs the smaller instance sizes 25 mbps might be plenty. Those instances do not have very high network performance. I don't think I've ever managed to get above 20 mbps downloading from my employer's little AWS instances.
I completely agree with you on marginal cost, but I don't believe SpaceX to provide accurate numbers for their own rockets before they are actually built (they love wishful thinking) or their competitors' (making your competitors look bad is better for you).
No - Some of Ikea’s furniture really lasts. I have a 25 year old Ikea couch. It needs to be reupholstered but it is still comfortable.
Interesting. I did not know about this case.

We had a similar thing in Pakistan. In fact, same font.

Incorrect. There are affordable homes outside city of Vancouver. Vancouver itself is now rezoning for multistory units and converting shed into housing.

Building more supply when you have inelastic demand is unrealistic and will do nothing to the price. As I've said it is the banking relationships of those multimillion dollar homes that is fueling this speculative bubble from locals + foreigners. The only way to attack this problem is to start from the root. Banks are incentivized to give HELOC because many Canadian retirees are relying on it for their livelihood and why would banks kick their own bee hive.

If you lived here for 2 years then you would know where False Creek is and why building 20,000 units around one of the most expensive area is NOT going to result in trickle down effect like most are claiming.

I'm suggesting rental controls that is on a sliding scale based on income NOT based on how long you lived in Vancouver which is what a certain political elements are trying to pull.

If somebody is making 60k/year they are not going to own homes period and its irresponsible to give them that insane leverage without auditing. Somebody making 600k/year should own homes because the sliding scale model would make their rental expensive.

Your other point conflating low income as criminals is another attempt to shove words in my mouth. I said these rental units attract criminal elements not that poor people are committing crimes (as you wrongfully assumed). If you lived here you would know these are kids from upper middle class joining gangs and becoming drug dealers. I don't have an answer to why that is. Could be the result of pluralnational dynamics creating isolated disenfranchised second gen.

If you wish to have a worthy discussion that will yield new insights I'm all ears but so far all I've seen people attacking me, they are purposefully infatuated with their own fixed (incorrect) workings of supply & demand (elastic) to a highly inelastic demand market.
I drove across the Simpson Desert in Central Australia. 600km of absolutely nothing. No buildings, no water, just two sandy tire tracks through the desert [1]. The stars were utterly breathtaking, the milky way was so bright it kept me awake at night in my swag (ground tent).
I took this photo as a single 8s exposure on just a sony A7iii [2].

Then a few months later I drove the Canning Stock Route, the world's most remote road [3]. In 1,050 miles over 10 days I never saw another vehicle or person on the track. I went into one aboriginal community to buy gas, it was the only "lightbulb" I saw in ten days. I have not really looked it up, but I suspect I was about as far from a lightbulb as you can drive to on planet earth, and the stars every night were utterly incredible. I stayed up way later than I should have night after night trying to take it all in.
The Canning is in Western Australia, a state that is approaching twice as big as Alaska.[4]

Dark skies are awesome!

Well since we're on HN just take a look through the latest YCombinator batch. Some are attempting to break into saturated markets but others are entirely novel.

I used to work with Benjie at X and he was one of my favorite people. Benjie if you see this it is great to see you doing this kind of writing and I love this article!
These are the spec. Implementations vary.
They vary in terms of chips, but also the way they get deployed on existing cable plant.
Starship today can't launch anything. Saying that it can launch the ISS in 3 launches is what Elon Musk says it can do. I don't trust Elon Musk's word for things until I see what someone does with those words. Generally, he is off by a factor of 10-100 on his promises.
Also, it's really not the case that non-mental diseases have categorically clearer diagnostic criteria.
Yes - he's one of the very best! I loved his 3 part series on making a reflector telescope from a single chunk of glass.
But… this is backwards compatibility. The command prompt is backwards compatible. Sometimes the best way to ensure that is to preserve in amber and replace.
That's still 2 orders of magnitude smaller than the scale of Figma—they would need to somehow manage millions of Postgres schemas. I don't think it's a realistic possibility
Probably never because every generation of Starlink satellite has been dimmer than the last. Despite being significantly bigger, the v2 minis are only 19% as bright as the original satellites.
Those are the two randomest things to couple together in a single fuse.
It seems like these are all already in the public domain. They were already free to use however we liked and neither the Getty nor anyone else could use copyright to prevent that. It is nice that the Getty is providing some scanning and hosting to make them accessible, though.

The article specifically mentions Irises by Van Gogh, but the link (https://www.getty.edu/art/collection/object/103JNH) takes you to a page where it seems like you have to ask nicely and agree to terms to use this public domain image.
I just wish their designs weren’t so staid.
These are probably just percentiles to compare. But that’s more data than cnbc is likely to publish.
> instead, you'd return Python code that I can use to scrape it in the future

Bravo, I would pay for this one, or hopefully run it on my GPU - it would be so fast to even just shove out your selectors (xpath, css, dealer's choice) for point-by-point update after you had done an initial code gen, or perhaps it could just diff and update chunks of code for you!

My local code model can already do the diff update stuff in nvim, but being able to pass it a URL and have it slam in all of the pertinent crawling code, wow.
I have obtained an email from GM stating that if I am an OnStar Smart Driver subscriber, I cannot opt out of my data being shared. I believe this violates at least California privacy regulations, probably some other states, which mandate opt outs. I seriously want to rip the modem out of my car.
Rethinking space and time could let us do away with dark matter
An authorized representative does not have to be an attorney
This is cool. Though I’m a little confused on who the ideal ideal target is. Is it focused on a non technical user or a technical user. Based on what stripe does, I think these are two separate product categories and combining them could result in a worse result for both user types. But I haven’t actually tried implementing this yet so I can’t speak too much on it. Looks cool!
Nissan Leaf?
Typical American thinking.

Your model 3 can't handle a corner. The reason car enthusiasts like Porsches is that they handle particularly well.
I'll throw my hat in the ring with The Jim Kleiber Show [0].

I'm an American with an electrical engineering and intercultural communication background who used to work in innovation consulting and then for the past 12 years has built tools to help us communicate how we feel. I've run workshops and trainings in the US, Europe, and Africa, often on conflict resolution.

While I don't have many long-form conversation episodes yet, I hope to add more on a pretty feverish pace, to create a library of episodes from which people can pick and choose.

However, I did an episode recently talking about music-assisted and psychedelic-assisted therapy [1] with someone who has a Masters in Music and Ayurvedic healing, and a while back talked about secret ballots and potential downsides of transparency in US Congress [2] with a former NASA engineer who now researches Congress for a living.

I'm looking to create different types of segments and also hope to provide a more interactive way for people to engage with podcasts, with a website that has search/filter/sort features, interactive transcripts, and a forum attached to it where people can talk with others who listened to the episode.

Anyways, I'd just be honored if you take a look at the site, listen to an episode, and/or just give me some perspectives on what you hope to hear these days in podcasts.

Steam Input is an abstraction layer on top of controllers. It helps you support any type of controller in your game. It also provides remapping support from within the Steam UI. Players can browse for and share their controller configurations too.

Steam Networking is not P2P. It's client-server. Steam also has P2P networking but using P2P networking is a big risk these days when it exposes your players' IP addresses to others. Steam Networking has a sub-feature called Steam Datagram Relay which deals with routing issues and hides player IP addresses.

Steam's inventory service takes this to another level. It's not just microtransactions. Items can be traded with others, can be bought/sold on the marketplace for store credit, etc. The marketplace alone is a significant additional source of revenue for some Steam games because the game gets a cut out of each sale.

I simply meant that you get more out of Steam with it's bigger cut.
Whats the benefit to artists to licensing works in a way thats favorable for AI models? Most artists hate the concept of AI art regardless of whether or not its a threat to their livelihoods.
When I was in grad school I accidentally wandered into the workshop for Montauk (https://montauksofa.com/collections/sofa/montauk/) with my girlfriend. They were very polite and I took their card. A few years later when I had some money, and my girlfriend was my wife, I still had the card and we bought one. More than twenty years since we still have it and it's just starting to get to where some of the cushions need the down stuffing refreshed. Quality.
now that is playing the long game... :)

looks like the fastest growing tree(s) are bamboo:

The world record for the fastest growing plant belongs to certain species of the 45 genera of bamboo, which have been found to grow at up to 91 cm (35 in) per day or at a rate of 0.00003 km/h (0.00002 mph).

In ye olden times I used to stop bosses from throwing away the slowest machine we had, and try to get at least one faster machine.

It’s still somewhat the case, but at the time the world was rotten with concurrent code that only worked because an implicit invariant (almost) always held. One that was enforced by the relative time or latency involved with two competing tasks. Get new motherboards or storage or memory and that invariant goes from failing only when the exact right packet loss happens, to failing every day, or hour, or minute.

Yes, it’s a bug, but it wasn’t on your radar and the system was trucking along yesterday and now everything is on fire.

The people who know this think the parent is a very interesting question. The people who don’t, tend to think it’s a non sequitur.
It looks like a lot of this stuff is already in the public domain and so they are just letting people use the scans/photos of these works that they took and are hosting. It's a shame that we don't already have this being done by public libraries.
I ended up having to discard a perfectly good desktop computer and a high-end scanner because nobody wanted them, not even for free. It's really frustrating, not because I missed out on making some money, but because of how wasteful it feels.

However, monitors seem to sell immediately every time.
I think many people are exhausted (at least I am) with the idea of bolting AI onto every technology, product, and service in existence to end all of humanity's problems. It won't work like that.

Just install more renewable power. These idiots are literally complaining about excessive demand when they own a power company.
Consumers won't pay for safety either, which is why we have NCAP and mandatory vehicle inspections.
I do not own a home so I can't be a NIMBY. If you understood remotely what is taking place here in the Western world, you wouldn't be saying this.

Instead what you should be describing is a inverse colonialism in the West where NIMBYs are the benefactors treating everybody like serfs. Those NIMBYs were blue collar workers in the 70s, 80s who bought when homes cost next to nothing, and now oppressing everybody.

Be careful when you throw around accusations of racism just because somebody has a different view that you can't even offer a rebuttal on. I take it you didn't even read about my sliding income rental proposal in the other comment.

I know this because you logged in after 3 months just to write some half assed comment without offering anything insightful. This is why there is so much stagnation, people like you simply brush off anything they don't understand (because they can't even pay attention if its not a short video format) as racism.
I use httpie from cli. It’s a much faster experience to call endpoints from a bash scripts.

I probably wouldn't 100% agree to "Microsoft changing". It seems their projects vary in quality greatly, on one hand you get to have something as good as the current day .NET, on the other you have Teams and Windows 11. It's a big company...

> ...modern consumers "are buying a couch online that looks four times as good, costs two times the price, and is made twenty times more poorly."

My friend had an Article couch and after a handful of months it was so uncomfortable it was as if the stuffing somehow just vanished.

And yet when I look around the net all I can see are glowing reviews of Article couches all over :\
What do you use your voice assistant for? I use Siri to set timers, set alarms, create reminders, identify songs (which uses Shazam), and turn on/off various smart devices around the house.

Yes and no.

* Last mile has a downed line, yes that will result in a local outage

* Backhaul gets taken out. Re-route traffic. Drop/throttle non-SLA traffic
Production is a spectrum. Many of the repos I see are still demowares, but at the same time, most companies I've seen are also still at the PoC phase instead of massively scaling up their GenAI use cases.

I don't think the considerations for adopting a tool has changed. It starts from what problem you want to solve, the money/time budget you have for the solution, ROI of each solution.

I know it sounds generic, but without more detail, it's hard to give a more concrete answer!
I built a tcp service using gnet and it was fantastic. I was really impressed with how easy it was to integrate with.
I’m actually much happier ordering appliances online vs furniture- because appliances I can evaluate in multiple ways that don’t need me to sit on it.

Unfortunately some very comfortable furniture turns out to not be long lasting, as I discovered, even when moderately pricey. Steel frame sofas can bend and break under repeated use because the steel is so thin - if you can bend it by hand, it will fail eventually.

CATV was designed as a one-way pipe. There are filters everywhere in the network that block inbound traffic because there wasn't much of a reason for cable boxes to need to communicate with the wider network which meant that the bandwidth on the cable that was actually usable for upload bandwidth was orders of magnitude smaller than downloads. As Comcast basically rebuilds their network (fiber to the edge), they're bypassing and removing all of those filters which means that there's plenty of frequency for uploads.
There needs to be an unplug, not an opt-out.
Starlink is giving me over 150 up and 20 down during peak hours in a waitlist / oversubscribed area with a previous generation modem. They more than meet the new definition for broadband.

However, it doesn't scale nearly as well as just running fiber to the home, either in number of subscribers, or in per-home cost.

Some relatives live in an area with a phone co-op, and they ran trenchless underground fiber to each home in their service area. Population density is something like 1.2 people per square mile, and median income is ~ $20K. Monthly rates are extremely low. I watched the installers. It was two people and they were covering a good fraction of a mile per day. Equipment and material costs are negligible. There are communities in the SF bay area that are outside of telco monopoly territory. Trenching fiber here (in the mountains) runs something like $10K/house, which is $27/month when you amortize the cost out over 30 years.

The equity / subsidy programs I've seen are always just handouts for large ISPs that have established monopolies and that refuse to reinvest even a small fraction of their monthly revenue into network upgrades.

Establishing municipal broadband or broadband co-ops and giving them automatic right-of-way priority over the incumbents would fix this problem overnight. Either there would be a second fiber network that didn't suck, or the incumbents would actually invest in their networks.
> If it's not Canada's land then can I come in there and break laws and say Canadian law doesn't apply because it's not Canada?

There are 43 first nations communities in Canada that are entirely self-governing. The Canadian Police have no power and no jurisdiction, and the community deals with everything entirely itself.

So, yes, First Nations people in those communities break "Canadian" laws every single day and nothing "Canada" does nothing about it (and legally can't).

I don't know if that applies to you if you are not a first nations person of that community. I doubt it.

There are 25 self-government agreements across Canada involving 43 Indigenous communities

Vision Pro is pretty fantastic. It never really made sense for Apple to get into automotive manufacturing, so it was good they shut that project down, and moved part of the team over to AI.
The charge is in essence a measure of how strongly the particle couples to the field. If the charges are opposite then the coupling gets reversed and so the excitation reduces the energy.

Likewise if a particle somehow had a negative mass, it would gravitationally repel particles of positive mass.
