It is great to be Argentinian then...
Thanks for sharing that! I, too, have drooled over Kaleidoscope for ages. But I confess: at the discount rate it's still more expensive than my IDE (Nova). It has a million cool features that alas I don't need. I just want that gorgeous source code diffing, at a lower price point.

(I don't expect you to say "great idea, sir, here's your coupon!". I'm sure you've done your analysis and you're at the price point that works best for you. I'm also not saying it's overpriced, just that it's more than I'm willing to pay for it given the functionality I want from it. This is just in the spirit of friendly user feedback.)
OpenCat
That’s very different.
It is throttled, although we’re still working out the exact details.

Practically, it’s not significantly more headroom than PICO-8 had because the screen is so much larger. You’ll have to use a low resolution screen mode if you want to do CPU-heavy things that wouldn’t fly in PICO-8.
There is nothing that would stop existing Apple Watch apps from continuing to work if the device was paired with an Android phone. In cases where the Watch app depends on a matching iPhone app then obviously the developer would have to build an equivalent Android app to make it work, but no one is proposing that Apple would have to do that themselves.

As for issues with the Garmin ecosystem, that's totally irrelevant. The basic fact is that nothing is stopping third-party smartwatch vendors from building good integration with Android phones. Garmin is just one example. Others such as Suunto and Coros have done the same thing. There are no significant technical obstacles.

Couldn’t you make a similar argument about protection rackets? Their experience shaking down places for money helps them build better defenses against it, right?
This is amazing! Seems like a perfect excuse to get back into Julia. I just wish Julia had more compile targets. Ideally I'd like to have the option to target the browser (wasm/webgpu).
It's not really an answer to TurboTax, because it's not good enough. I'll continue to pay Intuit for now. It's relatively speaking a small price to pay for something done well.
Airbus lost a bunch of money developing the A380 and are understandably nervous to undertake any more high risk development projects. This is actually a great case for an aviation startup. If Airbus failed to develop a modern SST that might bankrupt them and disrupt the entire industry, but if Boom fails it only destroys a nascent startup that no one depends upon yet.
The 0.1% have all the time in the world. Why don't they just travel in a super luxurious cruise or something?
That’s one of the most shortsighted views I’ve seen in awhile.

They are making air travel more efficient. Improvements in aircraft aerodynamics and engine efficiency to achieve supersonic flight can sometimes apply backwards and make a normal plane more efficient. We can apply some of the same technologies to shorten runways and reduce the sprawling layout airports need. There’s so many places technology like this can go that it’s insane we ever stopped researching it.

Writing it off because of vague fear-mongered potential environmental impacts is silly. As another commenter said, you can swim to Europe if you’d like but I will take the supersonic jet personally.
Except the CEO still operates Nuwber. It's hard to believe he's learned from his mistake if he's still actively helming said mistake.
If they work, I don't understand the issue. Not everything has to be modern to be useful.
// whereas the people 'opting in' to this feedback system have to get a job, and may not have the resources to pick and choose

That's just not what it is in practice. The kinds of people these companies hire have a lot of choices. Nobody is in position where the only company that will hire them is the world's premier and most selective hedge fund.

In reality most people who entered BW, were either "poached" from top-tier financial firms (and more recently FAANGS) or were graduates of top schools who had other offers. Materially nobody faces the choice between unemployment and "living the principles" - people opt into BW from among their choices because the culture appeals to them.
That's a euphemism for cigar boxes; smuggled cigars get through borders with a little rake-off at each inspection. The fact that they are actual cigars on the top layers allows all the boxes to get past slightly bent but nonetheless patriotic guards.
Lame excuse from Apple but the DoJ is also picking the lamest argument to prosecute Apple over. Feels very performative, especially in an election year.

The DoJ could choose something with teeth but that would require actually wanting to regulate monopolies.
Enough already with retro hardware that reproduces the early 2d games aesthetic. We need to step up the game and make retro hardware that reproduces the early 3d aesthetic.
Our AI startup has an LLM trained on the hollywood scripts. We are using it to determine where and when will be the next moster attack.

We may still get a decent script out of these tokens...
Why attack me? This is not about me but about companies controlling access to markets.
State overreach, wasting enormous productivity in the process.
I've had a Pixel 2XL, Pixel 6Pro or XL (worst phone I've ever owned), and now a Pixel 8 Pro. I strongly considered moving to iPhone after my Pixel 6 experience, but decided to give it one last chance since I really prefer Android over iOS.

When I bought the 8 I got a "free" Pixel Watch 2 with the purchase. I have not owned an Apple Watch, but my wife has an older model.

They do have Fitbit integration and it works pretty well for tracking walks, jogs, and cycling. I don't use it religiously and I'm not an exercise maniac.

The watch is nice and very functional. My biggest complaint is the battery life is really bad. I have to charge it daily -- I usually only wear it during the day and charge overnight. It'll charge pretty quickly 1-2hr but I don't care enough to do it.

It looks decent and works well enough to manage notifications and take calls when I can't grab my phone. The normal functions are on par with my wife's (older model) Apple watch.

I think if I was a serious fitness and outdoor activity kind of person I would buy a Garmin. I didn't do an in-depth comparison of the watches because I only use the base functionality of fitness tracking watches (my previous smart watch was a Withings) so it's entirely possible a new Apple watch offers some great feature I'm not aware of or wouldn't personally use.

That's my personal experience with the Pixel Watch 2. It's fine for my use case, but the battery life truly is bad.
Hey Guys, check this out my latest travel to Rome!
Paine field can't support what is needed and can't be expanded. But it will continue to service a small percent of the overall need.

The state has created a new commission to start the new airport site selection process over again, but this time it will just be a recommendation.

The previous project that had been going on for many years was site selection and not just recommendation, but their selection(s) pissed off the people and so the whole thing got just got killed recently.
This is what happened in my childhood home. We lived within a couple miles of a mid-sized airport. We could always hear the planes to some extent, but over time they expanded their cargo operations, which typically fly at night. They also added a new flight path that went directly over our house, so it became common for 747s to fly 2000 feet above us every 15-20 minutes through the night. I was fortunate to be a heavy sleeper.
Yeah, but Zoom (and its analogues) exist. Crossing the world doesn't take days OR hours; you can have a meeting with someone halfway around the world right now. I genuinely don't see an economic need for very many people to cross intercontinental distances that quickly in this day and age. How often does an executive actually need to go from New York to London? Or LA to Shanghai? We already ask "could this meeting have been an email?" Well, companies looking to save money should also be asking "could this intercontinental business trip have been a Zoom call?" Otherwise, it's just businesses subsidizing their executives' luxury travel expenses.
J85s are old technology. They're a turobjet, not a turbofan, nor do they have any electronics on board. This makes them highly inefficient engines. They're cheap, there are plenty lying around from old 4th gen fighters, and plenty of old guys who know how to work on them.

I suspect they used these just to get the XB-1 airborne, making progress while they find a better engine.
Readwise has been really good for me to remind myself of highlights I made years ago. I set aside 30 minutes in the morning to go over a few highlights and write. I think that adding a "random bookmark" every day would be a good idea. Most of the time you say "huh, I forgot I had that" and forget it forever. But once in a while it comes at the perfect time. (Or a few days before/after the perfect time would still be nice)
What did they say about it, if you asked them?

You never know: Maybe the bar owner has been a jerk to them, maybe it could be quieter. Also, a transient resident can have a much different perspective than someone who is there permanently.
Looks cool. Which 14 services does the free account support?
In the video I see SMS, Slack, Notion, Gmail, Google Sheets/Meet/Docs/Calendar/Drive, Salesforce, Hubspot, GitHub. I think Salesforce and Hubspot are in the $25/month subscription?

I would appreciate 'whenever I post on X or Mastodon add this to a sheet and put text and URL in its own column'
And military payloads don't complain about cramped seats, nor is the sticker price as much of a concern.
I think Mozilla's heart was in the right place here, but pretty disappointing that they didn't vet their partner more thoroughly than what some GMU grad students were able to uncover.

Also makes me wonder what other shady connections fellow services might have, waiting to be uncovered. Looking at you, popular podcast sponsor, DeleteMe!
Reading the article may be helpful for you as the answer is clearly outlined in the first sentence. Here, I'll copy and paste it for you:

> The nonprofit organization that supports the Firefox web browser said today it is winding down its new partnership with Onerep, an identity protection service recently bundled with Firefox that offers to remove users from hundreds of people-search sites.
Seems a little silly, the military is exempt from the regulatory burden they're spending a fortune to work around and has extremely deep pockets. It would be much easier to start with military contracts and establish everything they need to make supersonic planes and then transition that to civilian supersonic planes then to try and do everything and then some with no revenue and an unproven business plan.
Guess it's less obvious than some Android phones, which mount as a filesystem. But most of them don't.
I really appreciate your responses – while I basically remain at my POV, unable to really invest in religion in an ontological way, I do feel as part of an aged, Christian-based culture and feel very deeply about some aspects of this heritage, without really being Christian myself.
For me, emotional experience of the world and expanding my mind has certainly led me to see religion differently than as a 15-year old, meaning much more reapectfully.
I still fit into the atheist ane agnostic cohort but I see religion as part of the fabrics of civilization today. And transient, like language.
But I value a lot of Christian culture (e.g. Bachs music and prior art) and some Christian values (e.g. ethics of forgiveness and human rights)
Rent-seeking is a better term for what the OP is describing.
This is the real reason most of these are removed. No one wants a 100+ year old dam that need several million dollars worth of work and the ROI is negative. So they remove them and everyone is happy. Most of the ones that are removed are well past their use by sticker date.
It's a CoreTrust bug that lets a jailed app install IPAs, not a full jailbreak: https://ios.cfw.guide/installing-trollstore/
My guess would be "governments"
Thanks. I'll wait for your full reply, but very briefly:

My position is that the existence/non-existence of regular laws, and the personality/impersonality of the FC, have nothing to do with one another. As I stated earlier, event E would be compatible with the FC's personality/impersonality, and so is the universe we currently observe.

I don't believe this is your position (and admit my precis of your views earlier may have been inaccurate). I think your position is that observation of the universe's regularity affects the question of God's personality, hence your insistence that this is an empirical question (which I deny). You said:

> ... as a naturalist, I'm saying that given the laws of our universe (whatever they are) and the initial conditions, lions exist and unicorns don't and even God cannot change that. I'll freely agree that the former is from logic and hence necessarily true. But the later is just from empirical observations.

And further up the thread :

> ...it's all empirical. Yes, tomorrow unicorns could start popping into existence and then we'd have to revise what we think of the universe. But until then (this is crucial, my claims are contingent on observations), apriori natural laws seem to be able to explain everything we see. No personal God needed.

And more recently

> So this particular event [unicorn popping into existence], if it happened, would actually be in favor of a personal God!

and

> As a naturalist, my claim is that N is likely because we can explain the world using rules. We don't need a Divine explanation.

All these quotes indicate that you think that the empirical observation P (in my prev comment) at least suggests Q (which = N). Or alternatively, that you think that the truth of P undermines the need for M.

Again, my position is that P and M vs N have nothing to do with one another.

(P and W are different, and we have been using terminology more like P for the past dozen or so comments, hence I discuss P here rather than W.)
Only after they got caught.
Yeah, I'm 100% for forgiving and giving people a second chance. It's no different than a black hat hacker becoming a security researcher.

But there is a clear conflict of interest if he is still actively engaging in the dubious behavior.

Sure, let all that precious untapped potential energy and source of fresh water go to the sea. When the yearly 1000 year dry season comes,… then you can thank your Nestle shares.

Hydro power is so misunderstood.
Ask HN: What do data scientists need to know about LLMs to be competitive?
I have noticed job postings asking for experience with LLMs, but they are a bit vague. The most specific requirements I found were RAG, fine-tuning, and PyTorch.

I'd like to understand what I need to learn about LLMs to be competitive for data science positions. I have no experience with deep learning, generative models, and NLP, but I have a Ph.D. in a CS-adjacent area.
If you take into account cost-per-moved-amount-of-cargo trains are dramatically cheaper, even including infrastructure. The only reason we don't use/develop them more is social/political bs not due to choosing the ideal engineering solution for the problem and that solution being planes)

As for electric flight:

1 gallon of jet fuel has like 40 kwh of energy and weighs like 6 lbs. A Ford Lightning has a battery capacity of 100 kwh and that battery weighs 1,800 lbs. Electric flight ain't happening in a big way anytime soon with current battery tech.
>>> The issue is that the Apple Watch does not work on non iPhone smartphones, so this is an additional burden Apple has added to someone wanting to switch away from the iPhone, that they can't use the Apple Watch they own anymore.

Printer ink? Cpu sockets? Are we going to compel apple to support intel chips again? Should Intel and AMD be forced to support old ram standards cause you happen to want to use that particular combination.

I dont think the DOJ has good enough lawyers to win this very tenuous argument. Im not even sure if they should. There are much better arguments to make both on merit and cause.
Supersonic flight isn't necessarily for the 0.1%, just the 1% (or whatever other made up number) whose price per hour times the travel time reductions is greater than the added cost of the fare.
"XB-1 met all of its test objectives, including safely and successfully achieving an altitude of 7,120 feet and speeds up to 238 knots (273 mph)."

Seems just a bit shy of the speed of sound (760 mph).
That looked more like an announcement, not a warning.
One of the key features of Overture is its planned use of e-fuels.

I think this is almost crucial. Airlines are not going to line up to buy non-renewable, fuel-guzzling, net CO2-gushing supersonic jets for use over the next couple decades.
so true. got my ass handed to me chasing a large client and their promises of massive expansion with a bit of exclusivity. We got over exposed because I ignored some of the risks involved, and the large firm ultimately found a similar sized firm that could offer mostly the same product, with the benefit of also being a public company.
It doesn't matter if you or I get worked up about their land, it matters if they get worked up about their land and their heritage.
Onerep, which is/was a "reputation service" that ostensibly searched to see whether you were listed by various people search services and removed you if you were. As explained in the article, Mozilla were planning to bundle their service along with automatic searches of haveIbeenpwned and presumably other stuff. Turns out the CEO of onerep was also running some of the people search services (ie creating the problem and then purporting to sell the solution).

This also provided a lot of context but was pretty far down into the article so I'll share here:

We never know how is all connected but also China and Russia vetoed an US resolution [1] today. Not saying that there is a connection at all but we are living crazy times and it is very difficult, if not impossible, to understand the complexity and acceleration of events around.

Staying awake for more information.

BTW how many times China and Russia vetoed at the same time resolutions at the UN? Countin that from [2].

The paper referenced in the article: https://users.nber.org/~notom/research/FNSZ_Great_Recession_...

Abstract: We leverage spatial variation in the severity of the Great Recession across the United States to examine its impact on mortality and to explore implications for the welfare consequences of recessions. We estimate that an increase in the unemployment rate of the magnitude of the Great Recession reduces the average, annual age-adjusted mortality rate by 2.3 percent, with effects persisting for at least 10 years. Mortality reductions appear across causes of death and are concentrated in the half of the population with a high school degree or less. We estimate similar percentage reductions in mortality at all ages, with declines in elderly mortality thus responsible for about three-quarters of the total mortality reduction. Recession-induced mortality declines are driven primarily by external effects of reduced aggregate economic activity on mortality, and recession-induced reductions in air pollution appear to be a quantitatively important mechanism. Incorporating our estimates of pro-cyclical mortality into a standard macroeconomics framework substantially reduces the welfare costs of recessions, particularly for people with less education, and at older ages where they may even be welfare-improving.
If wildlife is involved these are almost certainly small run-of-the-river dams.

For pumped hydro you need significant elevation differentials, a pretty good vertical, and lakes at both the top and bottom.

Sites suitable for pumped hydro are really not common, and the financial investment and utility means they wouldn't be getting dismantled.
All the automakers have done this awful anti-consumer behavior. GM is only rolling it back as they got caught in lawsuit and are now facing some reputational risk.

Still...as the first automaker to stop the madness, it makes me happy and I hope it continues to the other car producers. I'd been thinking about buying a new vehicle recently, but it's hard to go give someone $30k who is literally a screwing you in 100 different ways. I'd rather buy a darn kit car at this point.
Seems like a parenting fail to me.

Parents should be more mindful of what they’re exposing their children to by giving them a tablet or phone.

Is it really that hard to just not give kids these devices or maybe you know… spend quality human time with them?
Aha my bad!
I agree that Apple can be anti-competitive. I disagree with your assertion that it's because Apple users "never would consider buying non-Apple products". I even know people with iPhones and non-Apple smartwatches and workout tracking peripherals that they're happy with.

Your argument in the now-flagged OP was essentially that the reason no one made another smartwatch was because anyone with an Apple product is incapable of even considering buying anything non-Apple, which is patently untrue.
What does "migration access" actually mean?

Usually in a strict / legal sense "migration" / "immigration" refers to people migrating permanently, with no plans to return, and becoming permanent residents / citizens etc. That is somewhat difficult for Chinese folks to the USA due to various numerical caps on visas by origin country.

There aren't any regulatory / numerical caps on Chinese folks studying or visiting the USA though, as long as they can get into their college, pay the fees, satisfy the various embassy / CBP people that they are temporary / non-immigrant visitors, they are free to come. In practice, the barriers are financial, logistical and linguistic.
And realized the potential penalty was orders of magnitude higher than what they were getting.
If my computer has a filesystem error that happens every week of uptime (168 machine hours), I call that "common".
It's a 1/3 scale prototype so I guess through some creative maths the speed of sound may as well be 1/3?
F*ck them! Here we go again, letting bureaucrats limit our freedom and track us everywhere. Anyone that doesn't see how one limit leads to another should open his eyes.
Insane. Absolutely insane.

Hard to believe that at one time Williams was one of the dominant teams in F1. The first F1 car I ever saw at full-song was Alan Jones in the Williams FW07 @ Montreal. I simply could not believe what I was seeing (and hearing).
Oh wow, quite happy about this, for a while it seemed the project was abandoned, really glad Jeremy keeps working on this :) The new website (https://bulma.io/) also looks very slick. I could totally see that he'd be able to monetize this like Tailwind, it's a really well thought-out framework with a good compromise between responsiveness, utility classes and components.
