I understand the difference you're describing, and agree with it; consider the difference between the cost of storage and retrieval to the StaSi and to any three letter organisation today. (One potential small mitigation: if any surveillance streams had to be public, at least the watching might be mutual?)

I had just been considering that maybe we were fortunate enough to live through a local maximum of privacy: people in villages had less, and people in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longhouse cultures much less.

Be aware that there's N100 boards with 6x SATA, 2x M.2 NVMe, and 4x 2.5GBASE-T around this price point. For example:

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806198066931.html

The N100 processor offers 2-3x the performance and lots of additional PCIe lanes compared to a Raspberry Pi 5 despite having half the TDP (6W vs 12W).
Stupid but genuine question because I never used it.

How does Office 365 work?

Like Office 2007 and such were all MFC/ATL code bases so calling GDI+ and all that.

How does it work now? Canvas and Web assembly etc?
This is interesting. The study you cite and quote is about a transfer of money from "naive" credit card consumers to "sophisticated" credit card consumers, which correlates to "poor to rich", "less educated to more educated", etc. I'm even more interested in the transfer that occurs from both cash and non-reward-card consumers to specifically reward-card users.

Ok, let's compare experiences:

Gas: I'm driving West across the state of Colorado, I'm on I-70 in the mountains, with 2 other vehicles, they get dramatically longer range than I do. I can see 1-2 miles most of the time. My car tells me it's range, but I have no idea where the upcoming petro stations are, I just know that they're going to be "pretty frequent". So at 50 miles I start looking for a station. I pull off, I might have to wait, but usually no more than a few minutes, usually not. I have to mess around with the credit card reader. It's the better part of $100.

Tesla: I tell the car my destination and it tells me where I'm going to stop to charge and for how long. I pull up, I might have to wait but usually not. I plug in. It's free.

Which one is the ordeal?
LibreOffice may be useful for German, but not for Asian languages. This is because it was designed without regard to the typographical rules of the Asian-speaking world.

You could say that TDF is "committed to Asian languages". But text is meaningless unless it can be used according to typographic rules, not just to display characters. They do not understand that.

And the problem is that the user interface is stuck in the 2000s. They don't understand that the Ribbon UI has been around for 17 years and generations have changed.

They say, "There's the Tabbed UI," but the Tabbed UI is nothing like the Ribbon UI. They're in denial and they don't want to get out of the 2000s.

Prostitution is the one thing where socialists believe in free enterprise and conservatives don't. Quite hilarious to be honest.

But no, prostitution won't become better just because it is legalized. The incentives are always towards abusing and trafficking women, making them legal just makes prosecution harder.

I don't disagree at all, and I never said I didn't. That said, I do think the UK is quite well placed to export services as opposed to goods - English-speaking, favourable timezone, strong body of corporate law, and a very good tertiary education system all favour services over goods.

I'd also say the UK is more comparable to France, which deindustrialised to a similar degree.
Why Investors Don't Fund AI Startups
I'd just mitigated this exact thing in Bandit last month!

https://github.com/mtrudel/bandit/blob/main/lib/bandit/http2...

TBH, from an implementors perspective this is a super obvious thing to cover off. It had long been on my radar and was something that I'd always figured other implementations had defended against as well.
The fact that apps across multiple platforms support different Lottie specifications presents a clear issue, similar to how SVG has faced compatibility issues within the industry for decades. A cross-platform designed dotLottie player is highly appealing for addressing this issue. It is similar to how 3rd party apps hope to implement the same business logic across multiple products. With a dotLottie player, apps expect to have the same killer motion design among the different targets!

To add a note, At the core of dotLottie is an super lightweight Lottie rendering engine(https://github.com/thorvg/thorvg). It is small enough (300kb) to run on low-spec devices like ESP, MPU, and MCU (it's proven within LVGL https://lvgl.io/ framework), and we can expect the hardware acceleration features for high-performance devices, including nested multi-threading task scheduler, SIMD, OpenGL, and WebGPU (though some of them are under the beta dev but aggresively working on). It has proven stable to be used in practical applications (even it's in Godot game engine) across various devices and also offers a web player through WebAssembly. We can check the ThorVG-based Lottie web player can be completed in less than 500KB (You can directly test Lottie animations at www.thorvg.org/viewer). This ensures the scalability of the dotLottie player from low-spec device environments to high-spec web environments & apps.
Amen to good documentation.

Thats one of the biggest reasons to use open source these days. Most paid products have aweful documentation.

404 means the server cannot find the requested resource. In the case of a database, the "resource" is the database endpoint.

So, 404 would be used in case the database endpoint does not exist at the URL you tried to access it at. A query returning zero rows would be a "success" in HTTP terms.
Oh, indeed, I am a big fan of people being wrong in novel ways that open up new ways of thought. Much of the old philosophers is really their exploration of the space. Searching means looking in the wrong place most of the time. My problem is with those who came after and keep looking in some old place where there is nothing left to find.
What’s dumb is the statement or implication, which is made constantly, that the typical person is dumb. I don’t mean to pick on you personally, who I have no grievance with, but rather to heap scorn on an idea both illogical and presented in bad faith frequently, a practice I always aspire to.

The typical person is the result of ruthless selection pressures over millions or billions of years depending on how one sets their watch, a chain of the fittest, savviest, toughest, and hardest to kill members of the most dangerous life form we know about.

Most people, more than half, are unsophisticated by the definitions implied, which would make people of above average intelligence “dumb”. Dubious, to put it mildly.

A much more plausible theory, and one not laden with all the trim and tackle of a bigoted agenda, is that the typical person receives a poor education, leaving them ill-equipped to outmaneuver operations research PhDs whose entire job is to use the very efficient frontier of mechanism design, dark patterns writ large, to outfox individuals who (in the typical case) didn’t have wealthy parents or some other greased path into an advanced degree.

And the real kicker to me, as someone who has spent serious time with seriously high-profile people in technology, is that for whatever combination of reasons (one watches out for post hoc ergo propter hoc type fallacies, cause and effect are nuanced in human affairs), I’ve found that the higher someone’s station in life is, the less formidable they seem. I don’t know if power corrodes the necessity to stay sharp, or if privileged positions emphasize some other set of traits at the expense of basic competencies, but if half the big shots I’ve met started from scratch in my neighborhood, they’d have been an easy mark for the unscrupulous and/or hungry.

Being ill-served by an education system that is broken by design, and being outfoxed by fraudsters with sophisticated mathematics who all but write their own laws doesn’t make someone stupid.
As much as anything that's also due to Intel limiting lanes to on consumer CPUs keep from competing with their Xeon line. But yeah make each lane fast enough and it's less of a concern.
"Lower prices" doesn't necessarily mean they just suddenly and immediately drop. That's no surprise; dropping prices purely out of the goodness of your heart isn't terribly good business practice. Also, for a lot of retail, MSRP is MSRP, and that's a pretty big anchor point.

What I'd expect instead, based on my having taken exactly one class in economics as an undergraduate, is subtler effects that play out over time. Maybe the general growth in prices over time slows down a titch until a new equilibrium point is met. Maybe wages rise a little bit because retailers can afford to pay their employees more. Maybe life gets easier for smaller businesses that have less negotiation power than the multinational behemoths. Maybe some bank executive somewhere decides not to buy that third luxury car at the same time as ten thousand restaurant owners decide that, just today, they will treat themselves to an espresso drink from the coffee shop instead of making drip coffee at home. That kind of thing.

I think maybe that last example is most interesting to me, because it calls attention to how merchant/consumer is a false dichotomy and things are always a bit more subtle than how the news likes to make us think they are.
>> My god, not having enough on site fast chargers for both charging the fleet and reassuring renters

Take a look at a major airport. They could average a hundred rental cars arriving, with peaks into the hundreds. Even assuming every can arrives at a half-charge, the power requirements would be immense. At 50kwH per car, charging up 100 cars every hour would require, at an absolute minimum, a 5000kw/5mW connection.

For invoice parsing (various formats), are you just using GPT4V? When GPT4V initially came out, i benchmarked it against an out of the box invoice parser from Google Cloud (https://cloud.google.com/document-ai) on 16 documents and it was much better accuracy wise. For ex: i'd get results parsing 10,100 as 101100 (no comma).

Curious if you saw problems like this in your pipeline or if its gotten much better since?
There are layers upon layers in culture when it comes to Freud.

Freud was fashionable beyond the reality of his importance, they said.

Then the "Freud as misinderstood" revisionists ruled, for a while.

Then it was fashionable to discredit and mock Freud. He became the
epitome of all that's "unscientific".

Then the neo-Freudians came along and was fashionable to denounce the
rigid, autistic positivists who so loudly mocked Freud.

And so it goes.

Meanwhile his nephew Edward Bernays totally transformed Western culture
into what we see today... a fantasy driven garden of individual Utopian
projects.

And if you bracket the crazy penis-envy unconscious analysis stuff

Let me talk to your engineers, not salesperson.

I've never had good experience with salesperson. Almost every time I ask them "can your product do X?" I get answers like "yes" or "no but our engineers can make it happen", which is baseless promise. Last time I signed up with a vendor was when their engineer told me "No, we can't do that. And here's why that may not be what you want".
I was saddled with an EV from Hertz unexpectedly (they said it was the only car left), and had to drive from NYC to MD and back.

Charging was absolutely the worst part. And most of the charging stations were full at any given time.

Range was extra bad due to the cold as well.

I understand the EV model for home use, but it makes 0 sense for rentals today. It's vastly less convenient, even ignoring the other factors like depreciation

It's very common in the area to hand out sweets to other people.

Where can I read about the toddler case and "slashed throats of elderly"? It's somewhat understandable though, almost every palestinian knows about a toddler killed by the occupation, a grandparent killed by the occupation, a family deprived of their home and land on some flimsy justification, and so on. That some of them lash out at anyone should be expected, people tend to become abusive from abuse.

Yes, some palestinians see the conscription as something that makes every israeli guilty in the occupation. Some israeli jewish leftists have a similar view, they see israelis that don't engage themselves politically against the occupation as part of it. Still, as far as I can gather, most of the militant activity in the West Bank and Jerusalem seems to be aimed at soldiers in service at the moment. In Israel there has been some attacks with cars, where at least one, I think in Haifa, hurt civilians.

Still, nothing that compares to deliberately and proudly starving a couple of million people.

First, be upfront about pricing and make it simple.

Second, have good documentation and make it easily accessible.

Third, either in your interactive demo or in your video, make it extremely obvious what problem you’re trying to solve. You don’t need to be clever about it.

Fourth, if you use more than two buzzwords, I am just going to laugh and leave your site or delete your email and forever think you’re a grifter.

Marketing works on everyone, but many people have been trained to hate certain things due to repeated bad experiences. Things with arcane pricing, tons of NIH terms and/or buzzwords, poor documentation, and hype driven not solution driven marketing is all at the top of that “repeated bad experiences” list.

Personally I’m of the opinion that the government shouldn’t be generating nude images of anyone. It doesn’t take real outrage or faux-outrage for me to hold that opinion either.
The great thing about open source is that governments can make or contribute to a competitive offering and if it's good enough, it will get used. That sounds worth a try.

If people instead want the government to forcibly limit options, that would be stupid.
Sure, but they will pay Brits enough to do it.
Put differently, Rust will lose because the economics are stacked against it.

I tend to agree. I'm very critical of Rust and the problems I've mentioned repeatedly on here for 5+ years remain open. Some of my doomsday scenarios also played out exactly as expected, too. I think the fanboy attempts to avoid talking about issues is finally coming back to bite them. The stubborn insistence of not adopting canonical C++ ABIs has killed any realistic attempt to get a foothold in the AI landscape dominated by Python and C++. If there was ever going to be a snowballing effect, it would be now. Instead we see an revitalization of C, C++, and alternative languages that have good C++ compatibility.

If you claim to be capable of replacing C++, you have to actually be in a position to replace C++. That includes libraries and tooling and all the other bits and pieces. It means that one group who actually wrote their own C++ compiler to target some weird architecture is going to rightfully be upset with you for failing to live up to the Rust marketing pervasive on the Internet. You can't hamfistedly say there are people working on this problem in Rust. At the very least, it creates a negative emotional reaction and upsets people that were interested in Rust, but now feel deceived. You also can't expect a startup founder to sit on their hands waiting an indefinite amount of time either. Business investors want to see measurable progress, especially since the ZIRP ship has sailed.

This comment will be ignored because it generates too much cognitive dissonance for those involved in the the Rust project to handle. It's reasonable to conclude Rust primarily attracts smug programming language hipsters that enjoy expressing disdain for the languages they get paid to program in.
Similar experience when I tried using DuckDuckGo as default on recently bought Android phone.

I'm all in for privacy - and actively dislike many of Google/YouTube moves (which seem intentional part of plan and not so much accidental or with technical reasons) - e.g.:

YouTube doesn't allow parents to limit their young kids to only whitelisted channels ...

Even worse, if you block YouTube.com domain - kid can't sign into school account (Google classroom stuff) because signing into anything Google actually goes through something like accounts.youtube.com.

And yet after 20th or 30th time when I was not finding things though DDG and manually typing "google.com" to do a search there (browser and other android search boxes were defaulting to DDG).

I just switched default browser and search engine back to Google :(
> Or that, as history tells us, that Arabs refused to accept partitioning and tried to destroy Israel 3 times and lost. I’m not sure why you would ignore well documented events in favour of deciding something else is the only logical explanation.

What does one have to do with the other? The moment that the partition plan was announced, some Arabs were going to be expelled from the territory of Israel regardless of anything else that would have happened. They chose to fight this, and obtained support from those around them. They lost, and now Israel exists, is larger than the original plan, and they are forced to live in squalor. These people are angry that history turned out this way, and they are turning all that anger on their current oppressors, and will continue to do so as long as they are oppressed, all the more so when they are slaughtered by the thousands and starved as they are now.

> Gazan obesity stats aren’t produced by Israel, nor are the social media accounts of Gazans.

Are you seriously claiming that, despite the overwhelming evidence that they are being starved since this war started, Gazans are actually getting fatter? This is beyond ridiculous.

> The only open air prison with open fields and malls and luxury cars.

The existence of a handful of rich people doesn't mean anything. All objective thrid parties assessors have come to the same conclusion, that the people of Gaza are living under oppression.

> Forced by Israel and Egypt which I gather you think is also secretly controlled by Israel.

Egypt is complicit, but they only control a tiny part of the border, and have explicit agreements with Israel about what to allow to pass through there.
I'd argue the easiest way to achieve this is to refrain from opening any ports, and using Tailscale to get remote access.
When did you rent with SADCars? I did once in 2014, and cheaply got some small old manual beater, which was just perfect.

But I think they've "pivoted" to just another rental company since then. Looking at their website and Google maps reviews the cars now look new, and indistinguishable from what you'd get from Eurocar, Hertz etc.

True. I wrote that from the perspective of a sales process trying not to waste time.

As far as risking being annoying, it's an unfortunate reality that you come out way ahead in sales if you talk to a lot of people, even if you make a fraction of them hate you along the way. That's even true when selling to programmers. But it does have externalities as all the sales teams collectively evolve their tactics to keep cutting through.
