Is this a debt fueled pump and dump?

Oh yeah it is

1. Take a well known brand that isn’t totally leveraged

2. Use the brand to launch a shitty version of something great that it used to do (Scout)

3. Cut corners to ensure low capex/opex

4. Jam it full of ads and other revenue generating spyware trash

5. Dump the lot on consumer 401ks

They even pre-ran the IPO tease before production even starts

This is the whole world now. Nothing innovative or actually beneficial

Just pump the name, get the cash and run for the hills.

Volkwagen is attempting to launder its reputation in the US through what seems like a “Tough” US brand that could compete for the EV Bronco/Rivian market. So grossly transparent

You could possibly use tethering to your mobile phone in some way, although I'm unsure, I'm just throwing an idea out there.
E cores make a significant difference to most common computer use cases.

The case where you have many lower workload tasks or system processes, and a few high workload tasks.

This allows for maximizing throughput for the majority of users, while also optimizing for silicon usage and power draw.

Perhaps for your use cases, E cores don’t benefit you, but there’s been over a decade of proof of the use of heterogenous cores across mobile, laptops and now desktops.
How did they farm vicuñas? Common knowledge here in the andes is that they aren’t domesticated and don’t reproduce in captivity. That’s why their fur costs so much.

Afaik alpacas can be farmed, but llamas are fully domesticated instead and easy for having larger livestock.
>stop handing out all kinds of subsidies, welfare payments and other transfers.

We can agree there as well. But unprecedented wealth accumulation at the top is not some mysterious magical force - it's what happens when we stop taxing capital accumulation the way we used to. Both are necessary to control money supply.
The problem is that such calls inevitably get neutralized and perverted by the political establishment, which of course does not wish to shrink itself. Entrenched interests have been very good at making sure the trough of corporate welfare is never called into question (including the artificially low rates powering the overleveraged financial industry), by construing that message of "smaller government" to mean only cutting back on spending and legislation that's aimed at mitigating the damage from the overwhelming government welfare going to companies. So while I'm a proponent of decentralization in general, as long as the corporate welfare (and the rest of the general corporate legislative agenda) continues unabated it does make sense to point out how much taxes have been cut for the same upper class that is the chief beneficiary of most types of government handouts.
You're putting a whole lot of words in my mouth and setting up a whole field of straw men there. Good luck with that.

> Which is why I don't buy into the LLMs don't have personal opinions schtick

I hate how LLMs have been deliberately trained to be incoherent on this topic.

Obviously they do have beliefs/opinions/desires/etc in the sense of emulating (even if incompletely) the externally visible aspects of those phenomena as they exist in humans.

Whether they have the “internal” aspects of those phenomena depends on highly controversial issues in the philosophy of mind, and also various factual gaps in our knowledge of how the brain actually works (if we don’t fully understand how humans do X, how can we really say how close or far what LLMs do is to it?)

But LLMs are trained to repeat these spiels about how “as an LLM I don’t have personal opinions”, etc - which is obviously false under the “external” reading, and assuming more than we actually know under the “internal” one. I wish their developers didn’t do stuff like this
agreed, this seems like a 15 page nothingburger of stock photos and conjecture.

the likelyhood swarms of UAV's loitered in and out of the military airspace with no photos, no pursuit, or capture seems like a dubious claim. That no single civilian seems able to corroborate this also seems to suggest the events simply didnt happen.

since these things might be dangerous to the general public you might release photos of them? or enlist help from the public/OSINT? sounds more like we're creating a story to help justify the use of expensive NASA resources for a budget review.
So if you're in a sensory deprivation tank, whether you're conscious depends on whether you're currently experiencing amnesia?
Ok... I'll just say, 40 ms is fine.

Not if you are playing a game, or watching one of those text-art movies. But for normal terminal usage, as long as it's constant, it's just fine.
If you have an ATA like a Cisco SPA122 , Linksys or Polycom 302, then you should be able to get between 2400 and 14,400 baud speeds; you will have to try different speeds.

Faxes routinely get 9600 and 14,400 speeds over these ATAs; it helps a great deal if your coded is G711 which is an uncompressed codec (it is u-law PCM in the USA; PCM is just like the bits recorded on a music CD, but at a much lower bitrate).
I feel certain all mammals are conscious. I don’t think humans are doing anything special there.

The ethics of eating something that was once conscious is another thing entirely. Carnivores live by eating other animals. I’m sure there are plenty of animals that would love to eat me :-)
>All that we call physical is a mental process

Surely you mean that the other way around.
That's exactly it. Normally they direct you to an OEM partner like Exxact.

To be honest, they are really not set up for individual accounts. It was a bit of back and forth with the paperwork to get everything done, which took a lot of time.

They asked for everything about the business.

As for the direct account, once you have it, it is a golden egg because this way you also have direct support from their teams for anything you need. It is fantastic and I feel lucky to have gotten in.
Isn’t most games still dominated by single thread performance?
You should live in a country without a culture and legal framework for competitive markets, or try to talk to someone first hand who has such experience. I suspect you're a good person who just misunderstands how markets and individual rights interconnect.

If the local government can simply declare "there are enough X, no more are allowed" then the rich, powerful and well-connected elite can solidify their privileged positions forever. Raise prices, lower wages, provide poor service - it doesn't matter, their buddies on the city council will guarantee no one is allowed to open a competing business.

If you want to protect the lower class and middle class, you don't want to hand the elite a tool to turn their business into a local monopoly for the price of a campaign contribution.
Thanks. I was in Team Virus and later Team Phreak, and we had plenty of people coming to tell their stories of being either Draper or the first to discover red/blue boxing after we put out NPA-NXX. A lot of absolute nonesense, but tons of fun while it lasted.

As the article explains, LVMH does tend vicuñas themselves, on fenced lots and at an industrial scale the villagers can't compete with.
To a degree, but it's typically more like 'this workload uses 2-4 cores and wants peak performance on all of them', not really 'this workload uses a single core' on modern games. And then some games will happily use 8+ cores now

The user-mode video driver and kernel mode driver both use other cores as well
All the issues mentioned in these comments is a good indication why this encoding isn't more widely known/used.

> For example, in my city we have a carwash with its improvements valued at $400,000 and a biotech building with its improvements valued at $275,000,000.

That's well and good, but, you know, people still want to wash their cars, and probably don't feel like driving 30 miles out of town to do it.
Ask HN: History of Industrial Research Labs Outside Xerox PARC and Bell Labs
Hello. I am very interested in learning about the history of industrial research labs from a computer science standpoint. In addition, I am very curious about what life was like at labs outside of Xerox PARC and Bell Labs. Much has been written about these legendary labs, but I’m less familiar with HP Labs, DEC’s Systems Research Lab (founded by Bob Taylor when he left Xerox PARC in 1983 due to clashes with management), IBM’s labs, and not to mention the labs from corporate Japan, particularly those from Sony and Fujitsu. Xerox PARC and Bell Labs were known to have a culture of freedom during their heydays. I’m wondering if other labs had this level of freedom in the past, or if they’ve always been more bottom-line oriented than Xerox PARC and Bell Labs were.
This, and it applies not just to HN but all distractions. I have periods where I cycle through various distractions. Sometimes I don't visit HN for a few weeks, but I instead visit a reddit community that I discovered. Then I drop reddit for a few weeks and replace it with Twitter. Then I replace Twitter with playing a game instead. It's not because any of these are particularly interesting or useful, it's because I want to escape from whatever else I'm supposed be doing, which most of the time is boring work.

I know people that make not much more than median income and easily blown thousands a year on hunting trips. Think of how many people spend a ton of money on a truck that they only use for normal commuting. People easily spend thousands a year on hobbies and the APV easily fits into that.
> The farmland’s 40$/year in taxes isn’t pushing anyone to sell

I don't think that's an easy assumption to make. Cost of living, average income, and average plot size are very different in rural areas. I don't know Idaho so I can't speak to land value there, but I can say farmable land in rural Alabama goes for between $1k and $6k per acre depending on the land. If you really want to farm it for anything more than a homestead, 40+ acres is a minimum IMO. On the high end that works out to $480/year, but with an average income in the area closer to $25k/year that number isn't insignificant when its a tax just for the right to continue to own land I already bought. Add to that the extreme challenge of even breaking even in farming today, I'd be impressed if anyone farming 40 acres in rural Alabama could reliably turn $25k in profit each year.

Related to that while we're at it, what is the government's justification for taxing the value of land I own outright? Are we classifying land and property ownership as a privilege rather than a right? And in a rural area where land isn't changing hands as frequently and farmland can often sit for sale for months or years, how does the government accurately assess value? In my own experience land value in rural areas is only really adjusted when new structures are built or a specific parcel changes hands, but maybe that is handled differently elsewhere.
When the apocalypse hits you you need to already have an offline Spotify library on all devices you would like to continue using. Offline Spotify won't help you much if you don't have any media saved for offline use at that point.
Also just a really bad word to combine with "open". Lots of emphasis necessary on that final "a", lest only the first syllable registers.
I'm pretty sure that the subjective experience of colors is mostly due to a combination of the overlapping ranges of wavelengths our eye's cones respond to (how similar different colors appear to us), and associative recall ("grass green").

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_cell

Note that subjective perception of color is only loosely related to the actual frequencies of light involved.

Try loading the image of these "red" strawberries into GIMP/Photoshop, and use the color picker to see what color they really are - grey.

I have a hard time believing that after this much effort benchmarking terminals and eventually having to switch to a different one that it wouldn't have been easier--and a lot more constructive, not only for this one user but for society in general--just to contribute a fix to Xterm for whatever issue it is having with Unicode (which fwiw I guess hasn't affected me yet, but if it ever does I'll just fix it).
>But we (mostly) don't

Just because we don't have Georgism doesn't mean we don't already tax land a ton. Annual property tax revenue for the entire US is ~$600 billion. By comparison, federal income tax revenue is about $2.6 trillion annually.
Interesting. That point didn't come across in your original comment. I recommend you state it next time at the end. Often times stuff that seems obvious to us / yourself / people who know about something -- can go unstated in stuff you say that otherwise references specific points at hand -- and omits these general, but enlightening/useful perspectives/priors, which it would be good to share.

This is not only for you specifically just a general reminder for all of us including me.
@dang can you delete this account? Thanks

can you please elaborate on this? i don’t understand exactly. “The real business of car washes is real estate, it's profitable enough to get 3-4x leverage with a low interest loan”
Freedom to Own: Open-Sourcing the Mirror
Is that always the case? Sure land value is impacted by what else is around, but is that the nearly exclusive valuing factor everywhere?
I live in the PNW where it rains pretty steadily most of the year and my car gets absolutely gross if I don't wash it once every couple months. Not dusty, I mean filthy dirty. Rain does not make the car clean, quite the opposite. All that water on the road getting kicked up brings muck with it.
Fair enough! Sorry for being a bit snippy - there have been some weird takes on both sides of this, so I have a bit of a short fuse.

> Microsoft in PRC is completely siloed

MS China (or at least Azure and all their Enterprise SaaS offerings) are a reskin around Tencent Cloud and Tencent's Enterprise SaaS offerings.

Most American Enterprise SaaS Vendors won't sell their product directly in China as Chinese IP Law around Software Patents is a bit unfriendly to foreign offerings.

It has lead to the development is a pretty cool domestic Enterprise SaaS market in China though, and has had a positive downstream impact such as with KubeAdmiral.

IMO, a western Open Core startup would have an easier time targeting the Chinese market as you can create two different enterprise SKUs - one for China and one for the rest - and not have to worry about IP Law hassles.

AutoDev: Automates existing development processes and workflows, acting as a productivity booster for developers [2].
Devin: Targets a more independent problem-solving role, potentially including designing software architecture and core functionalities [1].
Collaboration:

AutoDev: Designed to integrate with current development teams, with AI agents supporting human developers [2].
Devin: May function more autonomously, potentially needing less direct human oversight than AutoDev [1].
Imagine this analogy:

AutoDev: Like a skilled construction assistant, AutoDev automates tasks and streamlines the building process.
Devin: Like a talented architect, Devin can design the blueprint and foundation of the software.
Here's the exciting part: these AI tools can potentially complement each other:

Dream Team: Devin as the architect and AutoDev as the builder could create a highly efficient development process [1].
Complementary Skills: Devin's problem-solving capabilities could be combined with AutoDev's project management expertise for a well-rounded approach [1].
I use tech to do non-tech things. There's a huge demand for that.

In my case I help people settle in Germany. It's just a website plus a few widgets that support the content. There's just enough tech to scratch an itch, but without the meetings, the sprints and the other corporate annoyances.

I started the website 7 years ago out of frustration with local bureaucracy, and it became my full time job 3 years ago.

I don't think that I was tired of tech. I was just tired of office life in general. I much prefer the chaotic, unstructured nature of self-employment.
That’s the sequence of notable populations; individuals did who knows what.
The upper case is amazing! I basically have zero problems reading it. The text talks about glyph ambiguity. Selecting those well appears to amplify readability.

Neat!

The lower case one takes a lot more adjustment. I did end up reading it fairly well, but never with the ease of the uppercase font.
LOL @ $5 billion, but if it that was the valuation, you'd be making parent's point stronger.
This kind of thing has been around for a long time.

The classic method was to build a trailer park or a drive-in theater. You could keep steady cash coming in until you were ready to build something more substantial, then simply evict the trailer owners (space rent was typically month-to-month) or tear down the movie screen and grade the parking lot flat, in both cases with very little demo cost.

Trailer parks and drive-in theaters were both way bigger than car washes. These guys are pikers.
Not just today’s generation, there’s always been a quality issue and attitudes like “It works on my computer”. Been a frustration of mine, along with it generally takes more effort to do it wrong.
It doesn't get merely dusty unless you live somewhere very dry. I live in the PNW and it rains a good portion of the year. The car gets absolutely filthy during the rainy season.

If my shoes were that dirty, then heck yeah I would clean them. What a mess, it's easy to get your clothes dirty when the outside of your car is filthy. My kid's white dobok is especially sensitive to dirt on the car.
> Seems like they could move this law to parental benefits with very little change in intent and effect.

That wouldn't allow a foreign husband to work to support a Japanese wife, which is an important function of the current rules. Gender discrimination may be nominally illegal in Japan, but it's still quite hard for a woman, especially a married woman, to have a full career and get promoted etc..
If they didn't enter the base or break any FAA rules, it would be illegal to interfere with the drone.
I'm perfectly happy to let them have this, I was just curious why someone would deliberately neglect basic maintenance. It's kinda foreign to me, and frankly I'm towards the lazy end of the motivation scale.

Fashion statement is actually a pretty good explanation, thank you.
On the parks/“natural land”: would you rather land exist as an empty razed dirt field for speculators to wait to sell, or given back to the city?

Taxing the land value means there’s no incentive to own land that won’t be productive. The city or municipality can guarantee land it owns can have natural growth on it, whereas when private individuals own it the state can’t really stop the land from transforming into a parking lot.

As to how to value the land: the market decides. What is the price for the land, if you took away all existing improvements on the land itself? There is usually enough vacant similar land around where this is pretty easy to figure out.

The government can charge for services like upgraded electricity and keep the land value low, or they can bring the electricity to the land and count “lots of electricity available” as part of the value of the unimproved land.
Build baby build doesn't work when Black Rock and so many other private equity companies are content to buy as many houses as they can and then hold them to raise prices further or rent them out. 44% of all Single-Family Home Purchases were from Private Investors in 2023. A huge portion of the problem would be solved immediately by 1) a vacancy tax, 2) banning the purchase of single family homes by corporations.
The equipment was all ordered to our individual spec. Our box is one of the most powerful they've shipped so far. For example, everyone else is getting it without NVMe and we got it with 155TB.

As for permission, look up 88 Fed. Reg. 73458. I (and every other CSP) had to sign multiple documents agreeing to those regulations. Both SMCI and I are taking them very seriously, especially as a CSP renting them out. I'll vet every customer personally.

Pretty much Chaccu. Free festival. It's usually in June. You can make a trip of it going to Paracas, Ica's dunes, Nazca Lines and finish in Pampas Galeras.
Keep in mind in Galeras there's nothing. Just a post of the National reserve and that's it. It's also at 4K meters of altitude so walking for hours could be a whole experience.
I learned tons about the law! Some was directly related to my daily work as a tax lawyer (business associations, tax law x3, IP law x2), and some was important from time to time (conlaw).

This knowledge could have been gained another way, via a mix of apprenticeship and online learning. But I would have needed to do a bit of online learning before I was able to add much value or absorb the learnings from an apprenticeship position. There might be other areas of law with an easier learning curve, but corporate international tax isn't one of them.

I readily concede that at current tuition levels, going to law school now is a risky proposition. When I went 15 years ago, it was a pretty good deal with in-state tuition and some scholarship. I'm all in favor of students having alternative pathways that allow them to demonstrate the necessary competencies, especially if this lowers the cost to getting a law license.
I just worry if there are valuable trees on a piece of land. It would be unfortunate for someone to own, say, 10 acres of land with redwoods on them. If the wood is valued at a ton of money, that would encourage them to chop it down.

I also don't see the point? Why pirate if you are still streaming? It's all the same downsides of streaming plus some more with no upsides aside from possibly being a bit cheaper. I understand why people pay for streaming, I understand why people pirate files to have something "tangible", I don't understand why people pay for pirate streaming.
The latency discussed in this article is input latency. As in, his terminal runs at 190fps but some other really bad runs are as slow as 25fps (that is to say they add 1/25th of a second input latency to typing).

Java is not breaking any rules. macOS has memory management provisions for JITs and virtual machines just like every other OS. SIGSEGV has been part of Unix for decades and works perfectly fine on other OSes. And still works "most of the time" on macOS. Apple broke something here, and I'm sure they will fix it pretty soon.
