Probably fewer patrons and similar number of employees in the sweatshops. More eyes per patron leads to fewer errors. Or maybe they trained the best grocery cv model around from having a big high quality dataset, and you were fighting it. But then I'd think the tech would've been passed to whole foods instead of packing up shop, so final guess is sweatshop singularity theory.
Straws were also banned because of their immediate impact on ocean life, the same reason we got rid of plastic ring 6 pack can holders. Animals get them lodged in their bodies.
There's an easier solution: Make transparent line with a refractive index as close to water's as you can get. That's what fluorocarbon line is, as I understand it.

It has some downsides, though: it's a little stiffer and thus harder to tie knots in. It's less resistant to abrasion (being dragged over rocks, etc.). But it mostly disappears in water.

Most ships are built in Asia as well. The US basically doesn't have any sort of non-military ship building industry.
Just want to add that using data from a game engine gives you perfect camera poses associated to each image. That makes training of nerfs and GS a little easier since there is no error from camera pose optimization. That's also the reason early Nerf papers used the famous yellow Lego excavator rendered with blender.
After this morning's earthquake I was thinking how, without any theory of plate tectonics (or previous theories, if any), an earthquake must truly feel like the wrath of god. I wonder if it's been the seed for any myths.
I guess it just depends. My experience was completely different. I've got my NextJS app setup through Github action (trigger on push to a prod branch) that deploys as a dockerized container to my VPS and a preview branch that deploys to a separate nginx restricted firewalled site for purposes of previewing.

Never had any issues with upgrades/downtime for over a year now - it's pretty fire and forget.

Native vercel serverless functions running in Vercel are also highly restricted (10 seconds in hobby, and no more than 60 seconds in Pro) which I also don't have to worry about.
From memory, you definitely were able to install root certs pre-7.0ish but that functionality was removed, presumably to stop users from running man in the middle proxies and sniffing app traffic.

A huge irony in that alongside all the talk of conservatism, iOS provides much more user flexibility in this area of all things, and something that keeps me using the ecosystem.

You can still load root certs but as mentioned, it requires rooting your Android device. Some apps do have certificate pinning but the majority I would bet don't
How about a special kind of ammeter that makes a noise when the current drawn goes below a particular threshold? (Possibly for a minimum time length) You can make any appliance beep that way.
Invading Ukraine fucked Russia

Even if Russia could make their own chips invading Ukraine would still be a very bad idea and has completely dragged down Russian future prospects. They have isolated themselves on the world stage.
Intel & US research labs were where the state of the art was created. We gave it to ASML.

They've advanced the state of the art enormously, but it's i.possible to ignore how much is because we helped them. Because we wanted a factory for chip making machines, in a liberal free and democratic part of the world. Because just having vertically-integrated Intel's and AMD's (back when they made their own chips) wasn't enough .

I'd love for much more detailed write-ups on these technology transfer, this history. Alas trying to search for Intel + ASML is massively overwhelmed by search engine's rececy bias, filled with what machines Intel is buying. But here's this ASML history write-ups brief description:

> The research ASML received from US laboratories was even more valuable than the revenue provided by American firms. In the 1990s, Intel invested heavily in EUV research, subsidizing national labs. Insights developed at Lawrence Livermore and National Sandia laboratories were eventually passed to ASML after Intel realized no American firm could effectively commercialize these findings.

This is why having root access on devices you own is important.

In fact, I'd even argue that not having root means you don't own it.

Who are the "robber barrons" in this case, and how did they cause "the right situation where the people have no choice"?
The product itself is still invented and created by humans, and the content generated using AI is also what humans want to express. The emergence of AI simply enables those who are not good at rhetoric and marketing to have a certain expression ability, just like before the steam era, fast runners were entrusted with important tasks. After the steam era began, those who could drive and had skills became the protagonists of society.
Social media platforms won't go to the extent of verifying whether you are human; what they aim to do is to enhance AI's ability to express human viewpoints and consciousness.
Yes thousands of examples in every grocery store. It is still crazy to me, since the answer for so many of them is just a cardboard box or paper wrapper. We have the technology.

Paper has it's downsides too, but they are surmountable. Plastic has no path forward at this stage. Recycling and incineration are not ideal for plastic, and you can't trust the general population with that task anyway.

Recycling is a cop out for big corps to keep pushing plastic into the environment. We need their products to live, but only they can choose to stop using plastic. Voting with our wallets is hampered by the reduced comptition from corporate amalgamation of staple grocery companies.

You can't call it a capital M monopoly, but the effect seems to be the same. The evidence is on the store shelves, even though the public clearly wants less plastic, no change.
> something like Google Cloud Run?

No but it would be awesome.

I've been using Workers for about 4 years in production and love them but containers are still where I run most of my apps.

That seems like a pretty big pain, though, compared to a single click on Vercel and you get that same functionality for free. What's the advantage of doing it yourself? Each of those steps is quite a lot of work (few hours the first time? sure you can automate it for reuse later, but it still sounds much more of a hassle than the nice Vercel GUI). And what happens when part of the stack needs updates? (The VPS, or DOcker, or a Github action or one of its dependencies, or Nginx, or the firewall, or the rules...)

> Native vercel serverless functions running in Vercel are also highly restricted (10 seconds in hobby, and no more than 60 seconds in Pro) which I also don't have to worry about.

That's a looooong time for a serverless func to run. Curious, what do you use them for?
Yeah 4 days is stretching it, was more commentary on rice taste/quality vs rice stored in fridge and reheated. As for 12 hours, I know it's the guidelines, but plenty of people I know grew up eating multiday room temperature stored rice. IIRC China released data on bacillus cereus outbreaks a year ago, and they had <10 deaths and a few 1000 hospitalizations over 10 years from a billion rice eaters - cause was primarily poor food handling in cafeterias. Risk:reward wise, 2-3 days works for me, but I also have pretty strong stomach when travelling.
Bundler for backend vs bundler for FE
Olaf Stapledon’s Last and First Men, from 1930, seems to fit this genre too. It gets a bit outlandish with telepathy, but it’s ambitious novel telling of humanity’s ebbing and flowing, evolving a lot along the way, from ‘present day’ to the far, far future when the solar system is engulfed by a supernovaing sun. Considering its ambition, it reads surprisingly well.

Consider also the dramatic ... ahem ... success of the attempt to launch zero-day test versions of games via essentially VNC-via-java-in-the-browser.

AFAICT (I was peripherally involved with one of the companies that did this work), this really went nowhere, even though it offered "play this new game from any java-equipped browser".
Truth. The only other Big Tech company better at consistent breakage is Google. MS is known for its legendary backwards-compatibility, although sadly is also going in the same direction as the others.
What helps is companies would sometimes disallow access to external feeds like nuget.org and instead host internal feed with pre-approved packages and their versions.

Luckily, the standard library is so extensive you rarely find yourself reaching for an external package for a piece of basic functionality, and companies often are extremely averse to taking on third-party dependencies to a point of unreasonable (you have to go through sec dept even for otherwise popular and actively maintained packages which really doesn't help as it leads to NIH proliferation, doing more damage than good).

It is probably less prevalent in small size businesses however which has its advantages - the productivity loss and maintenance effort is highly likely outweighs whatever security benefits the above approach may bring, if any (good OSS package is usually more secure and does a better job than a particular team often unequipped with sufficient skills).
Around the same age, I remember first hearing about the expanse of the sun, and being afraid of experiencing it.
Unfortunately, that power plant is very close to two fault lines, and they didn't even know when they built it, so it's questionable how well it'll withstand an earthquake.

Did you ever try getting groceries/food (other than pizza) delivered before the apps? Uber didn’t replace a better option, they made it literally possible to get these services in many places where it wasn’t an option at all. And in areas like Manhattan, where city cabs and delivery options abound - the the fact that many (most?) people still use UberEats/DD is instructive.

The value of convenience is significant. I happily pay to avoid the mental overhead of shitty restaurant websites or repeating a paragraph-long group order back and forth across a poor kitchen speakerphone call.

Yes the current system has many flaws but let’s not pretend it was utopia before.
Nothing was working with my toddler so we bribed her with candy. If she used the bathroom throughout the day, she received three m&ms after dinner. This went against everything I read on the web, but my wife had a hunch, and damn she was right!

We also started her out on a toilet in the living room, that way we could read books to her. 15-30 days later, she transitioned to the real toilet.

It helps if your child’s preschool is forcing the issue. We couldn’t have done it without help from her teachers.

Sad to see that he doesnt mention the most major downside of modern nails: that theyre round in cross section and dont widen up the length of the shaft along one axis. This makes modern nails hold much worse than cut nails. Here is a great video that explains in detail about how much better cut nails are at holding and why:

Interestingly for modern stick framing construction this isnt actually really a disadvantage due to torsion construction techniques.

You can install CA certs on current versions without being rooted. For Android 14 on a Pixel 6a:

Security & Privacy -> More
Security & Privacy -> Encryption & credentials -> Install a certificate -> CA certificate

This works for Chrome and any app that uses the system cert store. I've used it for self-hosted services for several years. Don't know when it was first added.

I took it to mean that whatever amount of money people currently think would be needed to be "fair", say, an increase from $20/hour to $25/hour, would within a year or so become "unfair" again, even if inflation was zero. Employers will always want more work for less money, employees will always want more money for less work. Same as the seller of any product would like more money for that product, and the buyer would always like to pay less for the same product.

So you can say the company is "greedy"...but that implies that the worker is also "greedy" - which is true for both IF you define it the way I described above. Or you could say that the company (owners) are trying to maximize their return on investment (time + money), and the the workers are trying to maximize their return on investment (of time).

> "In most languages, you have "private""

And then you get "I hacked the headers to expose your private variable, and now my program is broken, help!"

Back when I did a lot more Objective-C you'd have programmers that figure out your private APIs and custom craft invocations to it. Yay.

It feels like getting programmers to code to API contracts, instead of observed behavior, is just one of the toughest things out there...

Dad with 3 kids here.

With my first one, I tried and encouraged and bribed and nothing worked. I drove myself crazy. And then one day he said to me. "Dad, I don't want diapers." And that was it. Done!

What I learned from this... all kids figure it out. Quite frankly, using the toilet is just way more user-friendly than using diapers! At some point, they'll realize it. They just go at their own pace.

So you can drive yourself crazy trying to get them to realize it... or you can just gently suggest, be patient and have confidence that they will figure things out!

Note! Letting kids do things at their own pace (and not yours) is very helpful for many things besides potty training!
I mean obviously, don't use it. But as usual, devil's advocate:

The behavior can change on any release

The most popular React framework, NextJS, vendors a specific, unreleased version of React and their documentation recommends the use of APIs that have never been in a stable release. That's apparently accepted everywhere. This particular variable couldn't be any worse.

Intel lost the high end. They don't seem to know how to make CPUs or GPUs that outperform their competition. But they do have fabs and could in principle make chips for other companies.

What they could do is use the equipment they understand really well to make chips for the military. 45nm or 14nm or whatever. Or for automotive. Loads of stuff is useful without being on the bleeding edge.

Instead, they're talking about needing heavy investment in new machines and blaming lack of that for their problems. It's hard to read that as anything other than they're trying to retake the high end crown.

Perhaps the motivating defence angle is AI. The US panicking that TSMC makes better GPUs and tech built on that will end their empire. That's something Intel has decades of failing to execute on.
Interesting! Had never heard of it before, will check it out. The point of Haxe seems to be as a meta-compiler to generate code for a bunch of different languages/compilers? The same spirit of the Wasm dev experience but without the runtime.

Looking at his feed, his big prediction was for a M7 earthquake around 3/30, so his prediction is actually 3 days off.

Before that, he was looking at a M8 earthquake around 3/13.

And before that, strong tremors around the end of 10/23/2023, seeming later updated to more like 10/25/2023 or 10/28/2023.

None of this panned out.

This is so fucked. Anyone trying to do any web scraping will be totally hosed. If this happens it could be one of the most bold gains by site-operators over web users ever.

The existence of the TPM is a terrifying capability that puts computing deliberately beyond the reach of the operator. It hands the computer over to coders. So many upsides for regular use, but what a sad sad sad forever ratcheting of the War on General Purpose Computing it enables.

I'm fairly convinced we should make TPMs that have a special lower rung security offering that lets them see and do whatever. Make the user have to boot a custom USB stick to access it, sign in in blood, whatever weird scheme you please, but locking users out of their own secrets absolutely seems malicious & malignant; this proposal is a great example of what a blood curdling infernal machine TPM can be.
