In my parents generations it seemed there was a lot more synchronization of ages in the suburban population. These neighborhoods were initially disproportionately represented with families with children, that's who they were pitched to and priced for after all. That works great for a few years but once the kids age out, you are left with a population of retirees plus a much slower rate of replacement with new families compared to when the suburb was first built and most everyone might have been a new family.

Coupled with the fact that many people leave their families to start afresh in a new city to make a career and their own family, and there just aren't many teens around you know of that you can even ask for babysitting.

Then consider the teen side. I would probably rather work a part time job than to try and get a network of clients with young kids together that would bring me enough regular work to beat out that. A network that is smaller and more diffuse today than in our parents generation for the same reasons that the teen network is smaller.
There's a recent paper which seeks to explicitly perform time-to-think using pause tokens[1].

> However sophisticated this end-to-end process may be, it abides by a
peculiar constraint: the number of operations determining the next token is limited by the number of tokens seen so far.

There are obviously pros and cons to each, but nothing excludes us from combining the two either.

I worked on a project that was using Bulma last week and to be honest, while not bad per se, it just felt like Bootstrap but with a lot less to offer.

Really cool! I like that bookmarking seems to be making a comeback. I really like the low-tech approach. It would be cool if there was a social component to it as well.

Sounds like you're after zotero.
No that’s not it at all. Perhaps you don’t understand how Apple builds its software. It is essentially one giant software product that undergoes CI every day until launch, when all the new apps and features are released together. This unification is only feasible in a closed system, and forcing Apple to open all the internals (APIs, datastores, etc) to third parties would prevent Apple from delivering the kind of user experience it does today.

This lawsuit is anti-consumer.
1. Yes! This is useful for parsing unstructured data or inferring an argument (sometimes we can simply define a static data transformation through jq).

2. Anything too complex (e.g. 5+ steps) tends to be unreliable. Also, any workflow where potential failure/unexpected behavior is too risky to leave up to an LLM.

3. The only actions we take are with our user's tools, so many workflows are simply organizing their information between their apps. However, e.g. gmails could be sent externally so we have guardrails/sanity checks to mitigate risk there.

I did see that, but I heard someone suggest that it might not be the best idea since your OS could become unstable. At some point I may just consider installing Linux on that Macbook, but not before replacing it, since my wife would be upset if she was stuck with Linux. She prefers to just use macOS.

Ask HN: Migration Access versus Market Access
Are there any tools/APIs that allows us to study the contrast between market access and migration access between two countries? For instance, I want to be able to visualize how easy or hard it has been for us to sell a software product in China over the years and contrast it with the difficulty of the Chinese nationals to study in USA and vice-versa.

Because we are on a tech website and as good samaritans we want to help each other out by sharing the information, knowledge, projects, tools or recommendations we have?
Yeah I know stars are a fairly worthless vanity metric, but it's the best quick proxy that I know of for community size on this sort of project. I usually check stars and skim open issues. Sometimes a code search to see how many projects and what sort of projects consume the library.
I’ve noticed in many commonwealth countries there is no official codification of case law, administrative law, and statutory law passed by the legislative body and receiving assent from the executive branch.

The US being a hard fork of the commonwealth has the official US code and state codes—attempts to organize impacts of case law, admin law, passed law, etc—but Canada has pockets of codification (the Criminal Code), but not all acts of Parliament are organized in a single code. The UK as far as I can tell has no such thing in England or Wales. Hong Kong has some semblance of codification with the Basic Law and ordinances. Does Australia have codification at a federal or state level?
Other wise those multiple save jpg artifacts could cause interesting bugs.

>Their hardware is more or less garbage. My Surface had a swollen battery which killed the device.

Macbook has swollen battery issue as well.

Microsoft Hardware is more or less the best on the PC market. The only company that spend R&D money from I/O, Speaker, Keyboard, Trackpad etc to try and match Apple MacBook if not exceed it. And a lot of these innovation or improvements gets filtered through to other PC OEM over the years.

You can shit about Microsoft software all you want. But in terms of PC Laptop market, they have done far more than most of the other companies. Had Pro Gaming / Pro Sumer Laptop not been a thing most other laptop manufacture would continue to milk and sell absolute garbage a la HP or Dell not a long time ago.
> nobody can prove that a person who claims to hear the voice of a supernatural being in their head (…) is actually just schizophrenic

Bipolar chiming in. Personally, I find hallucinations and mood swings to be very different from God. The disconnect from reality caused by the former is very distinct, even though I’m forced to act as if they were real.

God tends to come in the form of action, something tangible, something outside logic and emotion. I’ve never heard words or had feelings associated with it. It’s not part of any moods like everything else is.

Of course, this is all impossible to prove. After all, I’m diagnosed with a mental illness which has delusional thinking as a common symptom. I wouldn’t trust me. :)
It's a trap! The notion that doing well on a small contract will net you bigger and bigger ones is a nice fantasy, but I've not seen it play out. I have seen it crush a lot of hopes and dreams, though.

The reality is (IMHO) running a small contract and running a big one requires different skills sets, procedures in place, etc. Doing well at one will not guarantee doing well at another, and I think they know it.

It boils down to the fact that iPhone is a pervasive computing device and similar to a "public good" should be regulated tightly.

For millions of people, it's their main/sole computing and internet access device so should be a neutral platform - with clear evidence as cited that Apple has not maintained its neutrality. As a neutral platform, customers should have the freedom to use their devices without undue interference or restrictions from Apple.

These are similar arguments made in the Microsoft vs. Netscape case. The lone example of being unable to install non-App Store apps is enough to justify the DOJ's case. Question is what would the verdict be? Similar to the EU's DMA rules would be a likely starting point.

>we should be overjoyed that billions of people will now be enabled to use new tools to create art, music, poetry, and literature tailored to their specific desires

They aren't creating anything of the sort. The AI is creating it for them, and not to their specific styles, to a rough approximation based on the work of existing human artists that already exist in its data set.

Look at the Sora AI video generate from the prompt "an alien blending in naturally with new york city, paranoia thriller style, 35mm film"[0]. It's awful, particularly in its rendition of the background, and misses on almost every element of what one can assume the intent behind the prompt was. No actual cinematographer would intentionally make this.

And billions of people? Sorry? On what planet do billions of people have access to AI but not the tools and opportunity to create art on their own? Ugandans with $200 made a movie enjoyed by people the world over[1], every second of which has far more heart and actual creative value than anything AI could generate. AI isn't liberating anyone from anything, it's shackling people to centralized, corporate generators of mediocrity.

It doesn't. This model isn't an alternative to CO2 based atmospheric warming models, it just explains a very recent trend in ocean temperature. This branched off a discussion about recent temperature trends. Everyone asking questions about general long term trends either aren't reading or are starting a different conversation.

In classical Christianity, "having faith" really means "being faithful". To be a a faithful husband/wife, you have to do more than "believe" that you are married, you have change your life such that it is inseparable from your spouse. The same is true for Christians.
Management should communicate at a high level the direction the company is going in and why. They need to set a vision, explain why it's good, then break that down into larger targets. Workers underneath management should come up with specific ideas for meeting those targets. They should all meet and then align on the specific ideas to implement.

I think this doesn't happen because explaining why you're going in a certain direction is hard. Most startups don't really know if the direction they are going is correct and are just trying a bunch of things. This doesn't lend itself to management putting themselves out there and as such, try to push some of that work out to normal employees through OKRs and trying to make them more "autonomous". At the end of the day, there's only so much under our control and the OKRs don't help.

Wow, that playlist is absolute gold. These kinds of instructional, high-quality, long-form lecture series are IMO maybe the best thing on the internet. The kind of thing when I encounter it makes me take a step back and really appreciate the fundamental beauty and utility of the internet.

A few other examples:

- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9GwT4_YRZdBf9nIUHs0zjrnUVl-KBNSM
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncd6q9uIEdw&list=PLND1JCRq8Vuh3f0P5qjrSdb5eC1ZfZwWJ

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps8jOj7diA0&list=PL9D558D49CA734A02

Sometimes I wish there was a frontend for YouTube that only has these kind of long-form lecture series, but I've never found one. I think part of the reason why is that essential "quality" is somewhat ineffable.
I'm curious, where and how is the information stored as part of the service.
Would be nice if you can share the deployment strategy that is being used as it suggests the framework for long term support.

Thanks and nice work
The GP comment is about sending media between iPhone and Android, and claims that that is limited by MMS. That’s obviously not true. And has nothing to do with SMS/MMS.
It feels a little like iOS vs android at that point.,,

I'd rather see alternatives from individuals and small business. Microsoft can subsidize whatever freebie project they want simply because of their cash reserves. Redis, on the other hand, is the lifeblood of a single company. There is a much greater incentive for them to produce a better product.

A lot of small business is more similar to consumers than to large corporations. It's really no wonder that some pro-consumer regulations might benefit small business.

Agitation for consumer rights might actually be an easier way to get benefits to small business.

Because when you try to lobby for small business it becomes lobbying for all business and in the end it's the big business that benefits because somewhere in the process they outlobbied every other interested party and the end form of legislation or action benefits them the most.

Like the right to repair. If it was focused on helping small business it would have been defanged way easier.
Its not perfect but that doesn't mean its the enemy of good, it can do a lot to reduce trips. Its also a drop in replacement for how a lot of people presently use their airports with long term economy parking lots, and it makes it a lot easier to justify connecting that up with more substantial transport down the line once you have that initial park and ride station.
> The US has the US code and state codes—it attempts to organize impacts of case law, admin law, passed law, etc

Um, yes and no.

“US Code” is statute law. The “Code of Federal Regulations" is admin law. There is no codification of case law; there are reporters, but they are just a flow of case results, similar to the sequential publication of statutes in places that don't codify statute law (and those that do, too, but for most purposes where they do the codification is more generally useful for most purposes.)

The states are generally similar: there is codification of statute and admin law, but not of case law.

Assuredly there are some things you believe which aren’t scientifically provable? In particular questions about how one should order their life? Not questions about ‘is’ but questions about ‘should’.

Is a love of peace over violence, freedom over slavery, ignorance over wisdom simply a matter of taste?
I think this view is agnostic at its core but it requires each individual to make a choice between a simulation without an ultimate observer and a simulation with an ultimate observer. It can get even more tricky if you consider the multi-verse and the possibility that all simulatable realities exist simultaneously and completely. That give a new breadth, IMO, to the idea of omnipotence since one may feel compelled to assume that such an ultimate observer is aware of each of those possible universes/realities.

If one makes the choice to believe in a God-like ultimate observer then one is required to confront the nature of their relationship between their own subjective experience and that ultimate observer. One of the consequences that I believe results from contemplating this with respect to multi-verses will be the necessity of rejecting the idea of revelation entirely.

If that is a correct view, then it leaves the would-be believer in a paradoxical (or even absurd) condition. One is driven by the question of their relationship to some ultimate source while never being able to reconcile it.

Of course, if you simply reject the ultimate observer, or even an ultimate source from which everything emanates, then you don't have anything to contemplate at all and any discussion on the matter would appear trivial and frivolous.

No, every suburban politician is in agreement with it and have demanded a study for a boondoggle go forward to placate entitled suburbanites like yourself. This exact plan has been tried, and failed, in many cities around the world. The only places it worked are places with high-speed rail. Does Chicago have high-speed rail?

The problem in this country is that we coddle lefties and righties even when they have ideas deleterious to our own good. But I get it, politicians have to play to their crowds. No matter how ill-informed and uneducated those crowds may be. So we spend billions on billions doing things like moving water from Colorado to the middle of the desert for Scottsdale Arizona. Building airports to nowhere like COU so people can attend college football games I guess? And replacing bridges in Minneapolis that never would have fallen if we had put the infrastructure dollars into maintenance where they belong in the first place, instead of pork barrel projects for entitled special interest groups demanding things that make literally no sense at all.

Here's my take on the App store:

Almost none of the "free" apps are actually free. However, the App store makes it impossible to find this out without first supplying credit card information and installing the app, and possibly setting up an account with an app.

It used to be great. Frankly, it's now abusive.

Ah then I was very wrong, you are in fact a bit older than me :)

Thanks for teaching me a new thing about life outside of the US. Out here, cell data plans (which is the budget that sending/receiving MMS would eat into) were relatively affordable (even for my somewhat modest household) through the latter half of the 2000s and early 2010s. And now it's basically assumed that most people have "unlimited" data. So I guess MMS was a regional phenomena based on prices.

You didn't miss out on much, not that you probably thought you may have. MMS was a useful tool for sharing pictures digitally, but it was somewhat poor user experience waiting for it to reach the other person. Sometimes waiting for a reaction for an hour because the person on the receiving end wasn't near enough to a cell tower owned by their provider. Less of an issue with all the cell towers around now, but there are better mediums than MMS now.

Dunno, but I'm glad they do it. In other fields of research, researchers often purposely hold off on naming something, so that the community kind of has no choice but to name it after the authors themselves.

Eg in my field, they would have called Spectre "the Horn-Genkin-Hamburg vulnerability" or something. Which one of these is hard-to-remember jargon, and which one is catchy and evocative?
