i don't like cars at all and think it's a terrible shame how they've influenced the design of cities, but i think we might still disagree on what future trends will be :)

if you can entertain the idea that in 10 years there will be far more cars with lidar+cameras+gps around (plus the compute to process it all), steve's point is that this data will be very useful for generating real time road maps such that we won't need to rely on a network of pedestrian volunteers to manually update a database whenever a road gets closed for repair or a new condo is built.
It seems like the only way to really assess a teachers performance is by evaluating the outcomes of their students over time.

Since teaching career progression in the US is mostly tenure based I've always wondered why there wasn't a more longitudinal approach to their assessment.

The product is the students ability to achieve over time. One batch of good test results doesn't measure anything other than the teachers ability to get good outcomes for the test.
I think you're getting the order of causation reversed. The alternative to Infosys in the 90s would be to move abroad or work in a government job. You can't build a Porsche on day 1 - you have to start with the 10k car.

The consulting companies kick started the engineering base that eventually led to MNCs/big tech setting up offices in India, and the broader startup ecosystem today.
While the link in question isn't a good article, for complex subjects like this a long article is much better. The article linked should take several days to create if you are a great writer (again, I would create in a different way, but the content deserves days or even weeks of work to create), and thus cannot fit in a comment box except in a reduced form that doesn't do the idea justice.

By this way of thinking everything is vital for "security purposes" and you end up with a full autarchy. Food is vital because you can't rely on others to feed your population. And so is energy. And so on. What is really going on though is that the US started a trade war with China and it's just another salvo in this war. Soon the US will declare electric cars from China as a "threat" and ban them, too. Probably the Chinese will retaliate with banning Teslas. On the same grounds, too.
Yes, this comes up in a reply further down the page. (Everyone, please upvote the parent comment to save other readers time. I was puzzled too.)
Commodore brand too.

I very nearly bought an Escom Amiga in May 1996 but got a Pentium 60 Commodore branded PC instead.

By July Escom was done.
It's not hard to make an Alexa skill that hooks up to an OpenAI API (or compatible) endpoint. This repo is a good starting point: https://github.com/k4l1sh/alexa-gpt
I do not understand this distinction. Either they "own" the merch operation "end to end", or they don't. You can't have it both ways.
That greatly depends on implementation. I’ve been implementing Google Ads, Analytics, and Tag Manager for a medical practice recently. Google’s official stance is that PHI is categorically prohibited to send to Ads/Analytics services, but it’s very easy for a marketing firm to unwittingly do.

Thankfully I’m working with a conscientious marketing firm and our client is diligent and well meaning, so it’s easy to avoid the pitfalls, but naively following many integration walkthroughs could have you sending entire form content to Google (or others). I’m sure that’s one of the reason Google explicitly says “don’t put us on your EMR pages” (paraphrased).
That and/or rates
Are they sharing search terms, type of doctors selected, symptom checking info which is common on these websites? Especially if all data can be use to uniquely identify this is pretty problematic.
Yeah, not having proper nickname ownership beyond the crap NickServ offers is not a feature, it's a gross overlook from a time where we could afford to be naive on the internet.

And considering multiline messages as "bloat" is a wild take to be honest.
And if it were a visual display of those things, I would have honed in on what I wanted and gotten my answer in the time it took me to ask what I was looking for.

It may be fantastic as an aid for low and no sighted people, but so long as I can read, a VUI is strictly inferior.
I noticed Orion is very very buggy, and I found it odd from a revenue oriented company. I was desperately looking for a way out of the chromium world and also avoiding Firefox, so when I found Orion I thought this is where I'd settle and maybe help development. But the bugs are so counter productive, that you can't even manage bookmarks. Something was off with that browser's team.
I mean they could focus on actually building out their own search engine as an example? (i.e. moving further away from using Google and Bing APIs)

It's just a matter of focus with a team of that size.
In Towers of Hanoi, you're only allowed to pick up one disc at a time, so it's not completely trivial. It's simply operation intensive... kinda like Reverse the List of Integers

Link to the actual study cited in the article -

And at a quick glance it looks like it is mostly related to website information, not PHI or PII.
This is an interesting example of how there is a difference betweena policy being a "heat pump" and a "resistive heater", and that both can occur simultaneously.

The problem with "heat pumps" is that they necessitate a "cold" side, from which they "pump the heat" to the "hot" side. Their goal isn't to increase the overall "heat" in the system, it's to move the "hot" all to one side.

A "resistive heater" can add "heat" to the system more evenly, but is less efficient and you won't see "temperatures" rise nearly as quickly.

And that both can occur at the same time.
You're looking for a CDN with an integrated storage service, bunny.net has that feature[1]. They also have a volume tier for cheaply serving files[2] which seems to meet your need for a low PoP count (with some discounts to go along with it).

> I agree with some of the post, but the author seems to be an insufferable human. This has all the characteristics of terminally-online people that spend way too much time being angry on social media, and needing the world know how angry they are.

Yes, my impression as well. (I have never used Kagi but have considered trying it.)

Among the other things, the blog author approvingly put up a screenshot with someone insisting on seeing the entire world through their own political views and demanding others do so as well. ("Actually, the word 'politics' means 'everything', and also I'm right and everyone else is wrong.") As the meme goes, they need to touch grass.
Ask HN: Anyone else seeing increased latency in Azure?
Hey,
we've been seeing some unusual latency between and inside zones (within the same region) in Azure. Usually between zones rtt would be 1.1-1.5ms, for a couple of days we're seeing averages of 4ms and individual pings up to 20ms. It seems to happen with Dv4/Ev4/Dv5/Ev5 (accelerated network) VMs only. Inside the same zone rtt would usually be 0.5-1ms, now that is upto 8ms, average around 2.5ms. Also this does not seem to be in a single region, I've seen this happening in East US, West Europe and Germany West Central; did not test more regions yet :)

Did MS mess up their accelerated network on those VM types?
It should have money, a shit ton of it.
> It seems like a decent amount of the evidence regarding puberty blockers was excluded for dubious reasons.

To be precise, the report excluded studies of blockers for not being blinded, in a recreation of the 2003 review of parachute efficiacy [1]

Not that it's particularly consistent about any evidentiary standard, as they happily cite a "self-identified sample of 100 completing an anonymous online questionnaire" later on

Not really, no, it's just one more thing to go wrong and for me to have to dig out of my pockets. I'm happy for things to move along more efficiently, airplane processes are slow and annoying enough as it is. I don't care if some other guy got on the wrong flight, intentionally or not. That's his business.
Are you suggesting some great conspiracy with developers and banks to make less money on purpose by fixing supply in order to have a working style that hypothetically benefits a few unrelated people?
Not going to lie here. It was shocking at first, the cultural clash was intense at first, and I was like a scared child wandering about... But afterwards I felt much more at home than at any other place I've lived before (including where I live now). People are very nice, they are gentle, sincere, humble and welcoming (in general). Just this is enough of a reason for me to move, really...

I recommend Morocco or Tunisia. They have some amazing cities, and you will miss none of the fun you get in western countries, the vibe is different but it is far safer, people don't drink to nuke their brains out, and yes, there are pubs, mainly in tourist hubs...

In Tunisia you will love Tunis, Nabeul, Djerba, Monastir... All places are living postcards. Cost of living is extremely good. Nice house near the coast is about $300/400 US for rent. Food is amazing.
>Of course there will be AI regulations.

Are. As I and others have predicted, the executive order was passed defining a hard limit on the processing/compute power allowed without first 'checkin in' with the Letter boys.

In, at least the area I live (Central Texas), property taxes are also a problem with home affordability. I got my tax assessment a couple days ago and it notes that the assessment is up 653.08% since 2019.
Cloudflare adopted Renovate when I worked there. Not sure if it was the config wasn’t good (we did try to wrangle with it a bit by customizing), but I found it to be a lot more pain that it was worth. PRs that wouldn’t build would be opened, trivial dependency updates that weren’t worth the PR time would be proposed, etc.

There’s also the security aspect of supply chain attacks of “button press” updates.

I think having reports sent to repo owners that they can review with the team on a periodic basis instead of click-through maintenance might be a better model but I also understand the desire for mindless automation of what seems like a chore.
One must assume cargo comes pre-installed on your system. Right?

On similar note: it's funny how you believe that installing from a Git repository is going to provide reproducible experience for everyone. Like, you haven't even considered the possibility that some time after you've done that another commit was added to that repository and things stopped working in the way they did before, did you?

Like... I mean, just give it some... a tiny bit, really, it doesn't require that much of critical thinking... and you'll see how your "advise" is ill-advised.
What Happens When Prosecutors Offer Opposing Versions of the Truth?
Most clients should care about code that is long term maintainable even if it isn't in the contract. Thus tests are good. As a professional engineer (I'm intentionally invoking professional in context of other industries where the term has legal implications on quality, even though it doesn't exist for software it should!) you should care about that
>The current party is well liked because they are trying to undo many of the issues with healthcare, schools and general mismanagement was done by the previous 12 years when Gordon Campbell and Christy Clark were premiere.

Horgan took power in 2017. Most of BC's problems started after this. Though don't take me as defending the liberals because they did tremendous damage to BC as well.

>The new government has actually done a surprisingly good job at fixing things despite how badly the previous government salted the earth.

The NDP are the ones making 'changes' and are the ones causing problems with their changes.

>Speaking of healthcare one of the things they are praised for is changing the way doctors are paid. As a result we've had 700 new GP'S come to BCIT in the last year. I know people who couldn't get GP'S for over a decade that are finally getting doctors.

So the net change is still thousands less?

https://www.kamloopsbcnow.com/watercooler/news/news/Provinci...

And you think thousands less of workers has resulted in better services?

>I have trouble believing you are from BC or perhaps you are abti-vaxx and have some kind of agenda.

You're the throwaway.

>Regardless I find your take very disengenuous.

All of my points are easily confirmed. There are those ongoing crisis.
Can I ask what model did you get and what part of Canada are you in?

More to the point, I'm looking for a recommendation for a smaller unit to heat 750 sq ft. in Quebec.
Cheers, thanks for the info! So as long as the plastic does not touch the food, I'm basically good to go?
What if I told you you're not the only user on the internet? Discord crushed IRC in popularity because it offers people what they want. Simple as that.
Some would say it’s just a drop in the bucket.
I'm also really optimistic about the federation of Threads.

Too many organizations and people were (and still are) using Twitter as a canonical RSS alternative, which we've now painfully learned it decidedly isn't. Any option that makes their posts accessible using open protocols is a win in my view.

What's disappointing is the in my view extreme reaction of part of the Fediverse to Threads adopting Activitypub (I have no sense on whether that's a loud minority or general consensus). I get the embrace-extend-extinguish concerns, but there almost seems to be some desire to want to keep Mastodon small and fragmented for various reasons.

The same applies to the planned (and heavily criticized) Bluesky-Mastodon bridge: I'd love to be able to have a single place to follow both using a single app and (importantly) using a single handle, and I'm afraid that without, neither protocol will gain critical mass since they're just too similar to be worth replicating every post and keep following people on both.
Yes and:

I vaguely recall Riel's Object-Oriented Design Heuristics [1996] shared the same advice. https://www.amazon.com/Object-Oriented-Design-Heuristics-Art... https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/object-oriented-design-...

Aside: Young me obsessed over design patterns, methodologies, software engineering, SQA, etc. I had all the books. I started a design patterns study group and hosted it for a while. Now all that "wisdom" is just a bunch of old books. Somehow craftsmanship, me, or both became irrelevant.

Or maybe it was never important.

Like Alistair Cockburn opined about the failure of CASE tools, people somehow manage to ship software successful, without the benefit of all that smart stuff.
I’ve worked with the marketing folks for a large hospital and it is my strong belief that they haven’t considered the implications of sharing this data.

Legislation is in order to define what analytics companies cannot do with data from healthcare sites.

I’m not sure if there are other categories which ought to be protected, but healthcare is certainly one.
It was not clear at all. You jumped thoughts half a dozen times throughout your comment.

That’s not an unsubstantiated claim, that’s literally how you deal with sensitive contacts and information in journalism.

You understand that nobody is going to speak on the record about this, right? What, exactly, do you expect in terms of substantiation?
until doctors can treat the brain just like any other organ in the body this is just an educated guess (respectfully I believe in therapy and all that)
It's ever so slightly smaller than a .tar.xz of the same data. The main difference being that you don't have to fully extract it in order to access the data.
British note: UK govt subsidies for some insidious reason are not available to "reversible AC" style systems, so the dominant form here is air-to-water.

I had mine fitted last year. Retrofitted to existing radiators with 8mm pipework. With natgas backup/hot water boiler. At the end of this month I intend to go back and correlate the bills against the previous year (both kWh and £), because like a lot of discussion in this thread I think the installers have made some poor decisions. There's too much poorly insulated external pipework.
I didn't imply ads at all - google analytics has quite extensive info about the patient, the 'user', as is. The visited sites/subsections and stuff would be quite revealing.

Just using the same massive aggregator as your metrics provider is where it gets wrong.
Sounds like you might be understaffed.
A friend of mine runs a small tech conference every year in Portland, Maine. (You probably know where this is going.) One of the early years of the conference someone booked a ticket to Portland, Oregon which is probably the more expected locale for a tech conference. Forget if they actually flew there or if they just had to change the ticket.
>As for the rest of your reply to me, well ... for one, what do you hope to accomplish with such condescending language?

Nothing. Just stating the obvious -- that the Abrahamic religions are a bunch of hooey.

I don't expect that you'll suddenly realize that your invisible sky daddy is actually an imaginary sky daddy. In fact, I'd be shocked if you did.

I don't judge you for your belief in the ridiculous, I just don't share it.

Don't like that I'm not buying what you're selling? Too bad. Life is hard sometimes.

But hey, you do you and I wish you health, happiness and long life.

It's sad that you'll likely be too butt-hurt to reciprocate, but I understand and forgive you.
I wonder what it would take to get .idk root tld, and make it work without extensions.
Vlad does not appear to be aware of the first rule of holes: if you're in one, stop digging.

I'm a happy, paid Kagi subscriber and have been one for a long time, but I've been uneasy for a while about their lack of focus (the T-shirt fiasco being only the latest example) and the post demonstrates clearly that the issue is systemic.
You're trying to compete in search against Google and Microsoft with 12 people! Stop doing irrelevant bullshit that's no going to improve your bottom line!
I used it for grocery lists until a few months ago when they a) started putting ads in for when I was shopping b) discontinued the web interface which was far more convenient for me.

I literally went back to pen and paper because of this endless closing off and injecting ads garbage.
I have an Echo Show 8 that I wanted to watch YouTube on, but it doesn't work. Which model can access YouTube?
Yes and to add on to that, the reason this decision is criticised is that it is very difficult or even impossible to properly blind a puberty blocking study. If you give people fake puberty blockers and then they start to go through puberty blockers they will be aware. Same goes for the reverse.
Like when you visit “cancer patient support resources” and read for a while…
Something that I personally feel unfair about the H1B lottery is that it doesn't consider where you live and what you are currently doing. Students that graduate through a STEM degree get to work for 3 years in their OPT (Optional Practical Training). This extends then to them having 3 chances (one per year) at getting the H1B. Now what's unfair is that an employer in the US can apply H1B for employees living oversees. That application then goes to the same pool where H1B application of the employees that are already living in the US go. The very same people that already hold a college or graduate degree, are already living in the US, and are contributing to the US economy. Unfortunately, the lottery is fair. So those that don't get picked up even after their third attempt are kicked out. They leave their life that they were trying to build in the US, potentially their girlfriends and partners, their friends, and their possessions. While that happens, someone who has never stepped foot in the US soil gets to go to the US. So in a sense it's fair for them. And while there is no real metric to measure this, when compared, between the fairness people oversees get and the unfairness people already living in the US experience, I personally think that the later tips the scale by a huge margin.
1. You realise caches, even for third party assets are partitioned by host domain in most modern browsers now? So you're not getting a benefit that users loaded the script from someone else's site.

2. For saving bandwidth on the server are you using proper cache setup with etags and If-Modified-Since support? It shouldn't have to download a first party asset again if it's in the cache. It's worth pointing out that non-ancient versions of all major web servers do this by default.

3. Haven't you now added latency by first making users download the loader script, have that execute, and then start loading the dependencies?
I think it's fairly common. I was reviewing an implementation of a phone number input component last month. It looked great, changing the country code automatically showed the correct country's flag or vice versa select your flag and the country code updated, plus a bunch of useful phone number validation logic was provided, you just add the NPM package and use the resulting component and magic happened. But open up dev tools and you see that all the flags are being brought in from a CDN. The only fix is to fork the library and change asset paths in their code to self host. Many libraries are like this, icon collections, design system web components, whatever. If you're not vigilant it's easy to lazily include CDN hosted assets without explicit intent.

This completely ignores higher order effects, if you can't employ someone to do a task at a wage that makes profit, it creates conditions where capital investment in innovation and labour multiplication makes more sense.

It never makes sense to import someone who has less earning potential than any other candidate; at least not in a long term context (it makes plenty of sense for a current business for their own short term profit).
You didn't before? The past was a Golden Age of Trust where you could accept unvetted contributions from all and sundry, without danger of subversive malware and spam ads?

I remember when "open uploads" BBS file sections were possible, and how much crap they accumulated.

the Tragedy of the Commons isn't a new story.
I also have one loop of modern baseboard. Fortunately, it's in the attic conversion where they did insulate the rafters while doing the conversion, so it works even at that lower temp. I did do something slightly unconventional in plumbing that zone in a primary/secondary and it gets the water from the boiler "first" and returns it to the primary loop ahead of the main zone which is all cast iron rads. That means the baseboard gets the hottest water possible and the full potential flow from the boiler if it "needs" it. In practice, that zone tends to only run 4-5 hours per day while the main zone is running 22-24 hours, so either what I did works really well and/or I didn't need to do it in the first place.

But, you've already discovered your reset curve with modern equipment, so you know the right answer for your place.

Thanks for the story on mercury pressurization! Fascinating. I learned a lot about our old house (originally gravity circulated as well, but near as I can tell, pressurized only to the typical 12-15 psi and with an in-ceiling green steel expansion tank: https://structuretech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Old-sch... )

(And of course, sorry to hear about your contamination inconvenience and expense!)
