I keep seeing WebGPU being pitched as a successor to OpenGL. However as someone who's used it, it's not yet the obvious choice. The native API is still not stable yet. Meanwhile we have things like Bgfx and Diligent that do the same things but are already mature.

Maybe webgpu will win because Apple Google and Microsoft will have to have good support for it but today it's not even available in all browsers yet. When it is released it will be missing features the other middleware solutions have and we'll have to wait for WebGPU Next to be available.
I think this is the official strategy, i've never seen someone using a different one.
> If cell phone service goes out

When I lived in a rural area, cell service was as reliable as landlines if not more. People frequently crashed into utility poles and brought landline service down. Cell towers have backup power and can work during outages. Personally I have an electric car which could charge my phone thousands of times in a power outage situation; of course even a gasoline powered car can charge a phone too in a pinch. The biggest problem with cell service during an emergency is congestion, but landlines are not immune to this either with the way networks are built today.

In the future, home batteries and solar are going to be much more common. And soon your cell phone will be able to go directly to space, bypassing any local tower problem, using Starlink's direct-to-cell feature. Reliability can be designed into modern systems and we don't need to cling to costly and wasteful outdated technologies like copper landlines simply because they used to be reliable.
Ozempic's side effects range from frequent diarrhea to pancreatitis and vision loss. Individuals can consider whether the benefits outweigh the costs. But it isn't free. We might try a Fermi problem to estimate how many of those cheerful Ozempic influencers talk about pancreatitis.

Plenty of people have got digestive system paralysis, so that’s a downside. Obviously the big issue is that for people with diabetes this has made the drug unavailable for actual medical problems that don’t have other treatments.

In C# I've been preferring to only use var when the type appears in the expression so that it can be inferred by humans if you printed it out. In rust I've been using type inference per the usual rust coding conventions. I haven't quite sorted out in my head which way I really think is better.

> you cannot get security clearance unless you were born in the USA

This is not true.
Not a CTO but I fairly recently went from an engineering manager at a Big Co (I had 8 to 12 engineer reports, some junior, some more senior than myself) to an IC engineer at the same company.

If nothing else I think I am a much better engineer as a result of several years of being a manager because now I know the "other side of the coin" and won't shy away from the people-parts of engineering. I am much happier and way, way, way less stressed. I think other engineers respect the decisions and you have greater impact and influence since you are a great engineer AND you can also do the management dance so others look to you as a natural leader.

I'd recommend a few years as an engineering manager for any aspiring engineer.
I go into the duvet cover with the duvet. Hold the two upper corners, put the duvet cover over your head, attach each corner of the duvet to the corresponding corner in the duvet cover (I buy ones with strings for this purpose). Then extricate yourself, hold the corners you just attached, shake vigorously, handle fine alignment of the bottom corners, and button the thing up.

I am sure people will make fun of this but I get it done in a minute (buttoning all the buttons at the bottom is the hardest part), and I do wash it every 2 weeks, so... poke fun all you want, at least I'm not rolling around in filth from a month ago.

I was really impressed until I realized that the app is basically a wrapper around tesseract.js, which is the actually cool part. Tesseract has a wasm port that can operate inside of a webworker.

Not saying that the article was being misleading about this, just saying that the LLM part is basically doing some standard interfacing and HTML/CSS/JS around that core engine, which wasn’t immediately obvious to me when scanning the screenshots.

I have a similar background, and I just use a $5 a month Hostinger plan that manages the PHP server and I am quite happy with it. So it is just keeping my server side secrets in PHP in a way that makes sense.

Now, this does not allow me to say do python web-apps (that are not WASM). Hostinger has VPS for quite cheap I would consider if I needed that (if AWS lambda does not make sense, I did a python google cloud app engine for a month, https://crimede-coder.com/graphs/Dallas_Dashboard, and that was pricey, like $80 a month, whereas the WASM app is no additional cost). And I am sure there are other vendors that are similar (I am just happy with Hostinger).

So in terms of DDOS protection this is not so great, but that would not be a big deal to me. So site goes down, but I do not rack up a bill or anything.

For a google maps application, I not un-commonly see people put API keys in javascript client side (not good!) I mean it depends on what exactly you are doing, but if it is a public service that users do not sign into, just rate limiting the number of API queries in some PHP + database logic server side should be not too much work and reasonable to not rack up a surprise bill (I forget if google allows you to limit the API keys directly or if they will just rack up bills).
I was wondering this. How often does it turn out that a drug has no serious downsides? I guess penicillin was, if you're not allergic. (There is microbes evolving antibiotic resistance, but that's probably not a concern for ozempic.)

Landline phones provide power to customer phones, and would need to include the power for thousands of buildings in that.

Also, no one is requiring ISPs to power customer equipment. In most cases, that is impossible to do with fiber. But the provided equipment could include a battery backup. It is now possible to make small LiFePO4 battery that could survive for hours. It is acceptable to make backup power the customer's responsibility.

The important thing is that network equipment keeps working. Which in my experience it does.

No need for that. While it's possible to point out particular "performance" car CVTs that do indeed compromise efficiency for aesthetics, that's not done in most cases, at least not to the degree that efficiency is significantly compromised. The actual reason for not doing as suggested and placing the entire burden of acceleration on the CVT (thus keeping the engine at a constant RPM) is that this would be a foolish design.

Between the precision electronic fuel delivery and ignition, variable valve timing, variable plenums and other features of your ICE, all of which are invariably present today when an ICE is the prime mover, the ICE power curve has wide RPM bands in which its efficiency is high. By taking advantage of these wide bands of efficiency, the CVT can have less size, mass, mechanical loss, cost, etc., than would be the case if the CVT were required to precisely enforce a constant engine RPM.

Minimizing the burden on the CVT is crucial because CVTs are a mechanical compromise: they are inherently not as strong as a conventional transmission and generally have higher mechanical losses.

The manufacturers responsible for these designs aren't actually fools, slavishly beholden to some old fashioned transmission aesthetic. They're responding to a large number of pressures and doing the math. The math says that constraining the ICE to an efficient, yet non-zero, RPM band is better than trying to manufacture miraculously agile CVTs.
I have gotten to the point where I just give zero credibility to unnamed sources. And Forbes is sadly nowhere near as credible as it once was. It’s basically white collar Buzzfeed now.

Which is not to say that I disagree with anything they said here or think they are lying, but if someone thinks it’s a hit piece, 30-some mostly unnamed sources won’t change their mind. A journalist can never be caught making up an unnamed source, it’s like saying “I don’t recall” on the stand.

Two very random notes that may be helpful to someone ...

First, non-data cellular plans exist - which is to say, you can get a SIM card[1] that has no capability for data. They are text and talk only. If you feel like your child needs a mobile phone for (reasons) they can have one without tiktok or insta available in every free moment.

Second, you can create a wifi network that is "imessage only":

# rules to allow dhcp and dns to work
allow icmp from 10.0.0.0/8 to 10.0.0.0/8
allow udp from any 67,68 to any
allow udp from any to any 67,68
allow udp from any to any 53
allow udp from any 53 to any

# imessage rules
allow tcp from 17.0.0.0/8 to any
allow tcp from any to 17.0.0.0/8 80,443,5223

... which means a 14yo daughter can still do "teenage girl talk on the phone" stuff but not allowed to doom-scroll instagram for hours.

Yes, works for facetime as well.

I have found that these fires become uncontrollable because of tech debt. Whole rarely the spark, it’s a latent fuel source.

I am definitely not a lawyer so I have no claim to knowing what is or is not a crime. However, if backdooring SSH on a potentially wide scale doesn't trip afoul of laws then we need to seriously have a discussion about the modern world. I'd argue that investigating this as a crime is likely in the best interest of public safety and even (I hesitate to say this) national security considering the potential scale of this. Finally, I would say there is a distinction between writing vulnerable code and creating a backdoor with malicious intent. It appears (from the articles I have been reading so far) that this was malicious, not an accident or lack of skill. We will see over the next few days though as more experts get eyes on this.
There really shouldn't be a difference between the tower and the exchange, both need power to run and both are going to rely on modern data communication for anything not directly connected to the exchange.

Ask HN: Why are there no no-name inkjet printers?
TL;DR
Are there any DIY or "asia clones" of injekt printers that can compete with cheap branded products?

For years, users have bemoaned the seemingly planned obsolescence built into inkjet printers by major manufacturers. They struggle with questionable universal ink formulations (which might destroy the printer header) and resort to illicit maintenance programs to reset (waste) ink tank counters.

Replacing components is either impossible or involves such high labor or part costs (printer head) that it results in a total loss. The European Union has responded indirectly with a repairability mandate. However, simply being repairable doesn't address the potential for spare parts to have built-in expiration dates.

I realize that millions are spent on development and the devices are financed by inks and spare parts - but today you can get even laser and 3D printers with highly complex mechanics for comparatively little money.

Does anyone know of equivalent alternatives to the major providers? I'm not talking about "fine art", but normal home-use stuff.

I think the complexity of the issue isn't really reflected by the article. The most obvious points that are missing are the risks associated with developing a new drug, the costs of research, and the regulatory requirements from the FDA

Since pharmaceutical companies are, for the most part, publicly traded they're beholden to stock holders to create a profit. If they stop doing that they're in trouble

If the ability to generate profit from developing new drugs are limited, they'll simply stop doing it

Personally I think this kind of profit incentive for healthcare is perverse and ultimately doesn't serve public interest, but until the systemic issues behind these prices are addressed, I find it difficult to see a solution that'll ultimately benefit the end-user
