Yeah, though hopefully there is some sort of warning (or setting that prevents sideloading when enabled) that makes her think twice. Or, you could perhaps make her a “kids” profile unable to install anything without permission.
It sounds like you're trying to speak for everyone. Clearly there is a balance (money needs to be spent building new generation of some type). But we can work on climate -and- avoiding the extinction of vital fish species by restoring the flows of rivers.
I don't think the systems at large will afford humanity a second chance or "over time" if we fail to act.

Thank you for the story! I will look into more history.
Many municipalities have laws against engine breaking because of how much noise pollution it causes, so I don't think your example works they way you expect. Especially considering this would cause that noise pollution for 10s of millions of people.
does it spy more or less than previous versions?

The exact issue under discussion is "We can't build airports where people can get to them because of how big loud and annoying they are". I am proposing a mitigation aka problem solving.
I also disagree. As a fan of aviation, theres never enough experiments going on. We need to stop it with this carbon virtue signaling when everyone of us here would be glad to own a used 2017 Bombardier Global 6000

I applaud Boom's efforts I just don't know if its viable because if Airbus isn't working on it then it probably isn't safe/worth the insurance upkeep.

Unless they have plans to increase the specificity of these activated neutrophils, this appears to have limited long term usefulness.

Upregulating inflammatory cytokine expression in a nonspecific manner like this has undesirable consequences. It is like having a rat infestation in your home and your new solution is to add some dynamite in with your rat traps.

Anyone who has managed cancer patients knows that downstream effects of excessive/uncontrolled inflammation contribute substantially to patient morbidity. Dysregulated edothelial permeability, pleural and peritoneal effusion, coagulopathies, glomerular injury, hypoproteinemia, hypotension, tumor lysis syndrome... I could go on and on, but my point is there is a web of interconnected problems you bring on board when you drive inflammation.

The name of the game is isolated targeting of neoplastic cells in a controlled manner that minimizes inflammation. That is very difficult to do, but our best tools seem to be developing in the fine-grained depths of immunology. Not strapping kamikaze backpacks to neutrophils.
Everything is unfalsifiable until we develop tests for it.
If people value their time how come there was no serious appetite for upgrading and eventually replacing Concorde decades ago?

After all they could have just built improved versions of them and had fleets of them flying across the Atlantic, perhaps even a larger extended range version for trans-Pacific routes.

And if time is really the driver how come Boom Overture is going to be slower than Concorde?
If you check, the GP said "the recent unexplained warming". That's sufficient qualification to say that this is the explanation.

Of course the sudden recent spike is on top of an existing warming trend. And that trends is due to long-term trends from CO2.
This was something I noticed, too, when I'd leave my Dyson fan on at night in my bedroom. To me, it didn't sound like voices, it sounded vaguely like chiptune music.

Of course, I'm a lifelong gamer, so I think that reinforces the idea that it's something your brain is trying to interpret--and hence it's shaped by things familiar to my brain. My wife heard something similar on a different night and described it as something else. But we were both in agreement that it definitely went away as soon as I turned off the fan.

I find it rather interesting when it happens, actually. It's my brain subconsciously doing creative musical improv--which I am far too inept to do consciously. I wish I could remember the melodies long enough in the morning to try my hand at transcribing them.
It's a fun little thing but BEWARE! It's still a bit buggy and crashy* and rough around the edges.

This will of course greatly reduce performance (50 times slower?). But with GUI programs, such as Eclipse, it will hopefully hardly be noticeable.

Can we get LLMs to design the engine?
You can run linux (https://asahilinux.org/) on them, and it actually works pretty well. Apple has also helped out Asahi Linux to some small degree to get it to work (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29591578).

Honestly, with Pre-Check, I haven't had a security check be a major issue in years and years anyway. I still tend to get there early though because--who knows what could happen? I certainly cut things a lot closer with early morning Amtrak departures than the airport.
The purpose of using space-filling curves is to convert coordinates into 1 dimensional data, thus they can be indexed by ordinary database index, no matter distrusted or not. The problem is it's much slower than a "real" spatial index like R-tree, and the supported queries are rather limited.

On the other hand, spatial data can be easily partitioned, rendering the aforementioned method less useful. Also, I've never seen anyone needed more than a single instance of postgres to index all the spatial data, unless you are dealing with spatial temporal data, which can grow infinitely large. Then again, spatial temporal data can be easily partitioned.

> In many ways, Biden, by taking on four multi-trillion dollar firms in a way that Obama could never have imagined, is forcing a reckoning. Because what Biden is doing is actually hopeful, not because it makes us feel good, but because it is a reordering of the political hierarchies who structure our lives in ways that foster alienation. It makes us look at the sparkling liars who tell us pretty fables, like Apple, and decide whether we want to be adults, or whether we want to go on allowing ourselves to be ruled by our “betters.”

To me this gets to the heart of the issue. Many people think that because Apple makes great products we should just let them do whatever they want, even if it's anti-competitive.
It is so difficult to remotely understand all this when every other term is in "quotes". Of course, I'm not a physicist, so I probably wouldn't understand it all, anyways. I am just pointing out how many dang quotes there are. Could you guys maybe define the terms first so you don't have to put two fingers around every concept?

BTW I made this "comment" by "clicking" on the reply button and then I "typed" it using my "keyboard". No, I don't mean "keyboard" when I say "keyboard", hence the quotes.
Edit: I replied to the wrong comment. Hermes chose to start with the same engine as Boom - The J85. I'm assuming Boom chose it for similar reasons.

I like their explanation of the choice from a recent tour:

(Youtube transcript)

"So these are out of production, the J 85s. So we didn't work with GE at all. It was all just us working with, we were really working with the maintenance, repair and overhaul shops for them. That's really where the expertise and knowledge lies. These engines were, I think originally designed in the fifties. There's not a lot of electronics on board. There's no firmware we have to work through.

And really, it's a pretty elegant but hydro mechanical system for all the controls. So really it was about understanding the configuration of it and you can kind of chase down all the different tubes and everything to understand how it works. And then there's a suite of documentation out there. So it was really on us to learn how it worked."

Ok, others are reporting it as if it was just a goof. I mean, one doesn't "forget" to bring a spare chassis.

But Vowles has said (and is mentioned in that article) that the Capito years being run with an Excel sheet are just unacceptable, and it's going to take them some time to dig out from under it.
But supersonic engines already exist, and aircraft manufacturers almost universally buy instead of build when it comes to choosing an engine.

Or OSS will be going in a different direction then what you need, so if you are using it you'll either be stuck on an old version or you have to keep fighting around it. ML libraries in particular have this annoying habit of not being very backwards compatible over more than 2-3 years.
Yes, this is what every supersonic intake does. The leading edge of the intake for supersonic flows is meant to create an oblique shockwave that reflects off the other parts of the intake to progressively slow the flow to subsonic speeds before reaching the front of the engine. Fixed intakes, like the one on the XB-1, are optimized for a certain speed.

The gap between the intake and the fuselage diverts the dirty boundary layer air so that the intake is more efficient.
Show HN: Open-Source LLM Observability and Export to Grafana, Datadog etc.
Hi Everyone! This is the maintainer of Doku, an open-source LLM Observability tool that you can self-host and run easily (its 3 simple components)

Doku currently can monitor OpenAI, Mistral, Anthropic, Cohere and Azure OpenAI usage like Performance, Costs, Tokens and user interactions. This is a starting point for us, So let us know what you'd like to see in LLM Monitoring.

Also, We fully understand that you are already using some observability tool, So we did build our connections with these which allow auto-export to your Observability tool. Currently Doku can export to Grafana Cloud, DataDog, New Relic, Dynatrace and SigNoz. Too make you job easier, We have build dashboards that you can easily import into all of these. Checkout -> https://docs.dokulabs.com/latest/connections/intro

Doku is self-hosted and Open-source at heart. we’d love for you to try it out and share what you think. Check it out at https://docs.dokulabs.com/
Yes, true. Maybe there's a happy medium where it can auto-tag/organize them for you but also provide the chat interface, giving you the choice to browser or ask. I don't want my links to just be ingested by AI and disappear. I think being able to see them somewhere as well is important.

There are some forth WASM compilers, right?

The Pico8-inspired TIC-80 project can use WASM, although it’s a pretty heavy fantasy console too. The WASM-4 project might be another option to look into.
Checking issues can be a little less useful than it used to be. I know that the FastAPI project plays games where they close issues and refile them as discussions so as to keep the apparent count low.

I don't find it hard to believe at all. If you want a good smart watch, the apple watch is the only game in town. If you just want a phone, androids are competitive (superior based on what I want out of a phone).

I've personally considered making my next phone an iphone just to get a watch (though I've so far avoided doing so out of distaste for the iphone). I've seen other people on the internet claim that they have.
When I try to sign up I just get "something went wrong please try again"
> Any claim they make can be validated through discovery. I doubt they would lie

The claim would hold up even if it were a lie. "We concluded that Androids API wasn't compatible with the Apple Watch". Not a lie, but obviously still a complete lie.

> and I’m sure they’d love to increase Watch revenue by addressing the other half of the duopoly.

What they would love way _more_ is lock-in. You want this new shiny? It's only in the Apple ecosystem.
> Can anyone who uses or has tried to use recent "watch" style products from Google/Fitbit provide anecdotes on this claim?

I was a Fitbit user from the day the initial fitbit went on sale for preorder. I used pretty much every 'flagship' fitbit since then until Google bought them. Ever since Google took over the Fitbit product got worse and worse. I decided a year ago I needed out when they got rid of the communities favorite feature, challenges. I'm pretty sure when I finally packed my fitbit away I had logged more days of usage then anyone else.

I started exploring what the other options were but was not able to even consider the apple watch because I do prefer android to ios. If it had supported android I'd have potentially gotten one though. Anyway as apple placed themselves out of the running I explored other options and decided Garmin had the best offerings. The biggest issue there though was they had way too many models and way too many versions of each model and little help to figure out which one is the best for you beyond super high level titles like "runner". That said I ended up settling on the Fenix series and after a year of use I can say I'm quite happy with it!

When I upgraded my phone this past fall to the latest Pixel Google actually was giving away free Pixel watch 2's with every purchase so I did wear a pixel watch for a couple of weeks to test it out. It was.. not great... especially the battery which was supposedly improved from the pixel watch 1.

Anyway, yes, I do agree with the statement that Google hasn't created something good enough, but I don't think they've actually tried. Like other hardware they've bought (nest) they just let it die. Garmin needs some major marketing help, but I do feel like they got a great thing going over there.

Recessions Make People Live Longer
Yes, but I'm saying some would respond to your claim that it's Google's responsibility to bring Watch support to Android with the fact that Apple doesn't allow 3rd parties to bring Watch support to any platform. It's like saying it's Google's responsibility to support iMessage on Android: sure, but it's not technically possible anyhow without Apple doing work.

I agree that government forcing interoperability in this way is pretty concerning. Maybe Apple is an exception (arguable, I don't believe it, but not preposterous).
They are removing all the old dams on the Klamath River. Company that ended up owning them considers them a white elephant because the revenue from power isn't enough to pay for needed refurbishment, operating costs, and insurance.
I actually coded something very close to this and it worked surprisingly well: https://github.com/janpf/debuggAIr
I suspect BT is a major cause. Apple may want to make sure that the apple watch experience is at least as good as it is on iphone. So apple may be unwilling/unable to spend the resources to support every android device out there.

And working in BT consumer products, yes, android bluetooth is still a shitshow and device-dependent. Each radio vendor and android device has its own quirks that take time and resources to account for. Apple has had a very tight leash on what its devices do for bluetooth.

It sounds like fun but is it possible to hook up your prompts and RAG db (if used) to chat gpt4?

I've used GPT4 extensively for interviews and business communication tasks like writing sales comms or coordinating meetings and projects. Given how easy it is to create effective prompts and examples, I have the intuitive sense that gpt4 plus a decent prompting skill would still take the cake, despite the fine-tuning and augmentation you might perform with an off the shelf open model.

Care to comparatively analyze the two approaches?

Would you be interested in extending with a gpt4 mode?

And why not open source the product? Are you prepared for an open source competitor using gpt4 to get the market? It feels to me like being the open source provider here would be the safer bet, given how easy it is to reverse engineer fixed prompts and even RAG engines. In any case, what is your planned/expected time to market for an open competitor?
I think the issue here is a form of main character syndrome. Where people over-value their ideas, feel entitled, and make up stories where everyone else is the asshole.

Man A thinks he is a genius, and man B never considered a tour. Man A assumes nobody else has ever asked, and they aren't the 10th person this week. Man A thinks the idea is a critical contribution, not having the knowledge, planning, giving the tour, or having a factory.
Generally agree, but consider the counter-example of regular expressions, where the purely in-language notation is so much more verbose than putting a string-literal of a minilanguage in the larger language. Usually, we don't need to use the larger language to dynamically generate elements in the minilanguage (most regexes are string literals).

One must consider the cost of developing/maintaining new language parsing infrastructure (main point of the blog) against the readability/conciseness/features of a new syntax (not discussed in the blog).
It’s fun, mostly. Also, PNG has a handy alpha channel you can use to store data. I believe the previous console from this developer, PICO-8, started the trend.
I still think ClickMonitorDDC[1] is the far superior app (for me), as it allows time scheduling for setting brightness by time of day, keyboard and mouse shortcuts, macros, scripting, setting brightness on a per app basis, syncing brightness across multiple monitors with offsets, and also switching monitor profiles and video inputs from Windows, plus several debug features like re-reading or re-writing EPROM data from monitors who don't like to play ball.

You definitely want to use public-inbox: https://public-inbox.org/README.html

It's the same software used by the official Linux Kernel Mailing Lists: https://lore.kernel.org/

- It lets people `git clone` the archives and then `git pull` from them incrementally, so you get the same "distributed backups" that git provides.

- It also provides high-quality (Xapian) fulltext search, RSS/Atom, and NNTP access.

- It doesn't artificially fracture mailing list threads at month boundaries. I know this sounds like a trivial feature, but I'm constantly astonished that most other mailing list archive software does this. It's so irritating.

- Most important of all, it provides a smooth migration path away from SMTP-push for mailing lists, which has always been the big headache. Most of the problems with email go away when you switch from push to incremental-pull. Unsurprisingly, git is the perfect tool for doing incremental pull.

Concorde wasn't transformational for business at a time when executives couldn't work and videoconference from anywhere in the world and stay connected to the workplace for the majority of their flight duration.

The realistic potential of an operationally-expensive medium range aircraft designed for scheduled passenger flights isn't going to radically change trucks, trains and Zoom. Or business jets, for people that care enough about time to pay for it in thousand dollar multiples. Even for the small fraction who can actually afford it, a supersonic airliner is still going to have range constraints eliminating the possibility of quickly crossing the world, and for the transatlantic hops it might manage, it's the 8am JFK-LHR flight competing with a business jet at a time and origin/destination airports of the executives' choosing...

(for related reasons, I'd actually be more bullish about the economic case for supersonic bizjets, but there have been quite a lot of projects studying that market that haven't got anywhere...)
Most of Europe doesn't even check if you have a ticket before boarding a train. Some countries check tickets at the station, but I have never been checked for anything else. And there have definitely been incidents.
