The first idea is way more extreme than the second idea.
That's because the US government heavily subsidizes corn and soy production for...reasons, not because it's even the most efficient way to go beef in an undistorted market.
In like 15 mins I learned that Perin had a child that he named Farmir and that Aragorn (II) is a descendant of Elrond's twin brother who were both just half-elves themselves as their parents were both half-elven. And between Elrond and Aragorn there's like 60 generations of men.

The Norden stands out because it couldn't see through clouds, and Europe has very few cloud-free days. So it turned out to be largely useless in practice. The US didn't get much value for its money with that project.
It's easier to place the blame on something when you eliminate all casual or affordable use of that thing. You can stand back and say "see, it is this thing". Not mentioning the problems that eliminating and enforcing the ban of casual use brings about on required use.

Lazy weapons against problems are just barely better than sort-of-bad solutions. But if you look in the long term, the lazy weapons scorch the earth so that better solutions can't come along.
The first two paragraphs has been my experience on Android too. Android Framework is an incredibly disjointed mess that leaves you neck-deep in half-baked APIs.

Compose is better for sure. I’m still figuring it all out but it’s a marked improvement.
Is that so?

I was unfamiliar with football terminology so had to google it. Most references talk about "throwing a spiral" (noun), rather than "spiralling a football" (verb, transitive). But I can imagine this being a common usage. I have heard similar terms in other sports where you "verb" the ball, instead of throwing or bowling a "noun" :)

So I presume when a player "spirals a football" it means the player imparts a spin to the ball. (As opposed to player moving his/her own body around the ball in a spiral path :) )

Whereas the HN title uses it in a slightly different (second) sense -- "magnetic fields spiraling Milky Way's black hole" meaning something like "magnetic fields moving around / orbiting the Milky Way's black hole"

Semantics. literally.
I will say, like the anonymous commenter you are paraphrasing, I have encountered many "meat-based" drivers who are frustrated with how the autonomous vehicle under my supervision is travelling at the posted speed limit, rather than illegally enabling them to save neurotic seconds on their drive.

Which is to say in other words, most of the book probably replicates, particularly the parts based on Kahneman’s own work, and for the parts that don’t you can just skip the chapters or take them with a grain of salt.

Kahneman to me always struck me as the one eyed king of the replication crisis. Yes he fucked up but he fucked up notably less than his contemporaries and most of his work is still readable.

I am not sure if I'm losing it but the following statement doesn't make sense in my head:

> Your same card used through Apple Pay on your iPhone and iPad will show different DPANs, though since each device gets its own number.

That 'though' does not compute.

> Basically, when that Apple Pay card pops up when you’re checking out, expect everything on that card to be sent to the merchant

Apple Pay. But what about Apple Pay? You know, the one in store, where you hold your phone against the NFC reader?
The peters principle makes an assumption about the convexity of competency that I’ve never thought was great. Essentially someone could get promoted to their level of incompetence, when if they were promoted again they would actually get better at their job.

There is an implicit assumption that competence at job a is less than competence at a job b above job a, which isn’t necessarily true.
It seems difficult to escape from the eternal truth of measure and countermeasure … a fool with a tool is still a fool …

And I can't stand people who dismiss the entirety of another person's opinions based on managing to find one opinion that they disagree with. That's how you wind up with the tribalism in all our politics.
"To avoid data collection from Soofa signs, they would either need to turn off their phone’s wifi detection and Bluetooth or avoid the signs as a whole."

These should be defaults.

Android has options to WiFi scanning off. Does OSX?
I might be wrong but they are acutally differnt CC numbers, with the prefix linked to ApplePay, and then they resolve or proxy to your acutally CC.

You can use NFC Sniffers like the Flipper to see this in action.

Same how ApplePay on the watch works without network, cuz it has already preset the AppleCC prefix on ur watch, and its just emulating that AppleCC to the card receiver.

Same for the phone.
Early on, looking at a process and optimizing it can lead to productivity gains. However, the constant hunt for new ways to be productive turns into a form of procrastination. Reshuffling of organizations and large scale processes often cost more than they gain, and gaps are created, confusion abounds as those process gaps are identified and filled… this can take years.

At some point, the work just needs to be done. The organization of it will never be perfect and that’s ok. Constantly changing the method and chasing perfect is worse.

Accepting things take time, and consistently showing up is what moves things forward. Getting stuck in analysis paralysis, not understanding what it means to have a priority, and burning out due to unrealistic expectations are surefire ways to destroy productivity.
I would like to debate you on your assumptions. A class divide is bigger and worse than any other divide. Because there is no push (like DEI) we make innate assumptions about a person depending on their class; hence most of YC fits a certain "personality" which commentators in here are complaining about.

While I am past that complaining stage, it's worthwhile for the VC industry to take a look at that class divide.

> something I wish more people would know is that if you apply to YC and get rejected, you should keep applying. Most YC startups didn't get in on their first try. If you do apply more than once, the key thing is to demonstrate progress since your previous application.

Again, you are right from your perspective but my opinion based on my experience and fellow founders is that if you fail the first time, founders should just move on. Startup founders have this Hollywoodesqe mentality of what a startup is with all the glamour and almost all of them waste time pitching to YC/VC and think they are failure if they don't get accepted.

There needs to be a revamp of startup financing and I think something like startup school is in the right direction.
What is the contract between Soofa and the City of Brookline?

> Assistant town administrator Devon Fields, who led the implementation of the program before her recent departure from the position, [...] The town’s transportation division previously had an employee who worked directly with Soofa regarding data collection, but they left the department more than a year ago and have not been replaced. [...] the department has not been actively using information collected by the boards, [...] Fields will be the incoming deputy city manager of operations for the city of Chelsea.

Is that contract regretted by the city? If so, how much?

(The journalist seemed to hint that the program was a flop for Brookline, but didn't get much into that. For a career move, Chelsea is a different kind of Greater Boston city than Brookline is, so could be a more interesting challenge, or better growth opportunity.)
Sure thing, it has been added!
Adding to ShamelessC's answer - the other option is to wait for quantised versions of this model. A q4 will be around 70GB, and probably acceptable. A q5 or higher would be preferred, but we're still a good way under the 260GB.

You still need extra RAM to breath, but that's a lot more palatable.

This is why the Mac range - with unified memory - is appealing, as you can allocate most of your (say) 256GB of RAM to the GPU.

Conventional (desktop) CPU / RAM would be painfully slow.

Man this looks cool.I could run self serviced product demos without the need for a human.
Yes, but that setting is per network (at least on iOS). I only turn it off for my home network.
But the point is that you DON'T have to do that in NYC.
The pedestrian not so much, though.
Ah you’re right, I got those confused.

I mean IMHO RDP has too many vulnerabilities too often to have it exposed to any network your phone also can promiscuously join. I would far rather expose a simple HTTP API for limited actions I consider safe.
> It's the customers (i.e. "us") who are responsible for those emissions

No, you're confusing cause and effect, or putting the cart before the horse.

Yes, there are companies that sell products that produce a huge amount of pollution, and it would all stop if consumers stopped buying those products.

It would stop faster and more directly if the companies stopped making the horribly pollutant products in the first place. They have a responsibility in this, it's not OK to just hide behind "we just make stuff, it is someone else's fault they're buying it".
It’s not a commercially developed language; it’s open source and many of its features have been developed outside of Apple.
Aside from UI updates, processing includes view-model derivations (e.g., calculating errors), persistence, and loading, all of which are offloaded to dispatch queues or actors and then brought back to the UI/main thread. wrt granularity, there's @State, @StateObject, and @Observable, with different binding reaches. So understandably a lot of choices reflecting legacy and new API's, integration with UIKit and web/media services -- and probably AI recognizers in the background. To me the pains are that the approach taken needs to be consistent application-wide (async is pretty viral, queues are designed to be shared e.g., per subsystem, etc.), making it hard to manage or migrate a code base. Also many features build on macros which can make builds almost intolerable. Also saving on macOS vs integrating with update manager on iOS. It can be hard even to find documentation on stdlib feature support e.g., Regex. It's good they maintain both the legacy support and go full-steam-ahead on new features, but developers (i.e., I) need more guidance on tip-toeing around pitfalls and managing platform differences.
I specified an existing api in this, and I think it turned out pretty good. It exports openapi and json-schema from the same spec. Looking forward to having more linters for specs and stuff like that.
This is exactly why I decided not to have kids. My mum had me at 40. I lost my dad when I was 23 and my mum at 44. I'm 47 now and it's frankly too late for me (I'm male, so theoretically I could father some) to have children now.
>Do you think Jack Welch would have helped the world more if he had worked as a backend developer at GE, rather than as its CEO?

What he did with GE's reported earnings could be considered fraud, and those cooked books are what made him famous among executives.

If you haven't read "Lights Out", I encourage you to check it out.

As it relates to the parent comment, the issue isn't Jack Welch specifically, but people trying to attain his success. The same thing could be said about Steve Jobs - his results are undeniable, but there's a group who see his success and think that it comes from what many would consider flaws rather than strengths, and emulate those. The people subjected to this type of leadership get all the negatives but without creating world changing products or enjoying unparalleled business success, and are reasonably resentful.
2005? Swift is from 2014.
There is probably no amount of protections which are appropriate for using SMS to send commands to a server. It's not only unencrypted the entire trip but SIM-jacking and caller ID spoofing are all very well-worn exploit paths.

I can email my house, which is at least encrypted in transit, and then I stack an extra couple nonstandard abuses of email headers to validate the source, which all is impossible with SMS.
A good chunk of southeastern Manhattan is dramatically underserved by public transit, despite what the MTA's map would have you believe.

I'm talking about from the Seaport all the way up to Alphabet City. I hope you've got strong legs.

Tangentially, this is one of the reasons that nearly-invisible corners of Manhattan like the eastern end of Cherry St and Water St still have serious crime problems today.

Honestly that whole stretch between Smith Houses and Vladeck Houses is pretty fucked.
A German adtech company was going to do this in collaboration with Shazam, I strongly suspect the GDPR put paid to that.
I didn't claim you said "most people" either.

Furthermore, in my prior comment, I acknowledge that you are expressing a personal preference/opinion and that I respect that.
It's "rugged individualism" that is the bubble, both in time and in space. Community and duty exist everywhere and have at every time, despite what it is like in 2024 America.

I learned about this from an old book, called "No Place to Hide" (2006) about how shopping malls have these chokepoints, that have Bluetooth and other data sensors to collect EMIDs etc. today I think it's even worse. Data from mobile devices are being pinned and harvested constantly.

Maybe one day, Apple? will allow us to see and block pinging signals attempting to harvest data.

The (lack of) social prestige for pregnancy and motherhood among UMC women is a bigger factor. Women have been indoctrinated to place career first and only.

> it's everything south of 60th

You’re right. It’s lower and midtown Manhattan. That said, it doesn’t include most of Manhattan let alone New York City.

The core question is what someone who won’t pay $15 and refuses to not drive into the city during its most congested hours is bringing to the table. That is harsh. But it is a trade-off a city must make with its limited resources.
It is due to those Indian women not having the opportunity to earn money. If you look at American women who are children of Indian immigrants, the rate is much higher, because women have a far easier time obtaining higher income jobs in the US (or UK/Aus/Can/other developed countries).

But that is rapidly changing amongst the upper classes in India too, almost everyone will support their daughter to get as good of an education as they can and secure as good income earning opportunities as they can.
Objective-C sort of had it unofficially through how methods tended to be named.

I’m glad they found a nice way to do it in Swift.
I am thinking of implementing your suggestion in the form of Events directing and activating smaller systems! If I stick with Bevy, that is.
The bot can certainly do the product demos and the SDR can come in to close the deal. It'll free up the SDR's time to focus on price negotiation and say closing the deal while the bot can do the first couple of demos needed for the customer.
I don't really bike and certainly wouldn't in Boston. But most of the urban core (essentially Bay Bay plus the original pre-landfill Boston) plus Cambridge in general are absolutely walkable.
Horrible in the moral sense. For example, that some people really want in their heart of hearts to kill entire other groups of people. Or that political or military leaders might willingly sacrifice hundreds of men, women and children to advance their goals. Horrible in the Machiavellian sense of pursuing power without moral constraint.
If you are trying to say 3% is a small number, you are already suffering is not the reason why you should suffer more.
> The signs also collect IP addresses.

Uh, false? What IP address? This sentence is meaningless, users don’t connect to the sign, so there’s no IP to it.

This article is just scaremongering by people who don’t know technology.
I'm personally too far from those negotiations to offer any likely-pivotal insight (such as a concrete quantity), but my very rough understanding is that there's some critical volume beyond which a customer basically becomes "made" with the Xilinx/Altera sales channels via a financially significant design win, at which point sales engineers etc. all but have a blank check to do things like comp development boards, advance a tray of whatever device is relevant to the design, etc..

Basically, as George Carlin put it, "it's a big club, and you ain't in it".
And those ones will become senior directors, and so on. The principle isn't that no one will ever be good at their job; it's that they won't stay in that job long-term if they are good.
Nothing lasts forever. “‘Instability’ that exists but is suppressed so as to be not evident for a few decades” is not meaningfully different from “stability for a few decades”.
Technically, the tablebases for 7-piece chess are fully solved, and since we are talking about games starting from partial board states, you could trivially compare both engines to the "perfect" move for a huge number of board states.

I mean… I’ve got a bunch of fungible black t-shirts from Costco if that counts. They fit reasonably well.

There are a bunch of more expensive unique items too. I do actually find it a bit interesting to see which ones float to the top and which ones don’t.

Funny you mention Marie Kondo though. I do roll my clothes instead of folding them before putting them away into the cubes. I don’t entirely get it but it seems more space efficient that way.
Not just the board. Their CTO came up with the idea (with two other legendary greybeards) years before most of us were sucking air. Mark's been at the heart of the LA aerospace scene for quite a while, is as intelligent as he is humble, and I'm genuinely happy that he's finally going to get an honest crack at this.
It's just the usual technology obsession of military industrial and political types that's been around for decades. The reality is that the most important factor in combat is the human one and every fancy gadget you use just introduces more liability and weak points.

The AI marketing hype and lobbying stuff fills the pockets of a few people but it doesn't make soldiers more effective, "cloud computing controls the battlefield" is such a meme worthy sentence I don't understand how anyone can take someone seriously who says that out loud.

What you could see in the Israel-Hamas conflict mentioned in the article is what you also see with the Houthis or in Ukraine, that the best technology on the battlefield is cheap, resilient and simple enough to be understood and operated by the least competent soldier, not some 10 billion dollar fantasy tool out of a sci-fi novel.

The example in the article of Hamas feeding Israeli informants deliberate misinformation to strengthen the notion that Hamas would not attack, now imagine this amplified by even more gullible LLM powered "intelligence analysts". It's a theme of the "AI age", the people who stand to benefit the most are critically thinking humans able to exploit the tool induced stupidity of everyone else. Hackers, appropriately enough.
Very nice

Do the chip / paywave payments with the physical card also use a DPAN generated for that card, or do they use the FPAN that's embossed on the plastic?
I just wanted to mention how I cope with occasional restless leg syndrome. I find that a wall sit for two minutes right before trying to fall asleep works every time. I have to do it long enough and push hard enough to make my legs really burn from the exertion. The more unpleasant it is, the better it works. Afterwards, I immediately get in bed and try to go to sleep (it doesn’t work unless I do it right before attempting to fall asleep). Usually by the time my heart rate returns to normal, I’m asleep.
Should be relatively easy to "flood the zone" with tons of fake MACs as you walk by. Once they realize 100 million people did not really visit that sign, they might reconsider.
