And in the EU at least, it's not as unfeasible as in most American cities to just do your grocery shopping with a backpack, since there are tons of walkable cities. I go about twice a week, usually when I pass one anyway on the way home, and haven't needed a car for the last fifteen years.

For use cases like this, the last mile is carbon neutral.

Edit:
Re-reading my comment, it comes across as if there were no walkable cities in the US. That was not my intention. Of course there are, but from what I've seen, not that many. Also, somehow there is a lot of political opposition to them, because of certain conspiracy theorists who seem to have taken over one of the political parties. And since there are only two worth mentioning, the situation is unlikely to improve.
Could you recommend a good component for security purposes? Like if someone enters my flat without breaking in (I rent). The docs list a bunch of options... do I go for motion & presence or binary presence detector? Which sensor is better (and most cost effective)?
There is planning to eventually connect into CA HSR at Palmdale via the High Desert Corridor project (a separate intercity high-speed rail project), and CA HSR and Brightline have, IIRC, discussed this as opening up single-seat travel (for the whole SF/LA/LV network.
> If human brains are statistical models, why are human brains so bad at statistics?

If CPUs are made of silicon, why are they so bad at simulating semiconductors? Or why CPUs are so bad at emulating CPUs?

Etc.

What the runtime is made of is entirely separate of what's running on it. Same is with human brain (substrate) and human consciousness (software), or humans (substrate) and bureaucracy (runtime) and corporations (software).

So layoffs this year? Last year surprisingly, Apple layoffs were quite low compared to other big tech rent collectors who were laying off people in the tens of thousands. Apple I don't think crossed a few hundred. Going to be interesting to see how they weather this.
Excellent, I would wish Go had more build flags though, e.G. for deeper escape analysis to remove pointers and reduce GC.
> however, I'm not sold that education is the only criterion when it comes to how someone votes... or does anything else, for that matter

It isn't, however if your education or world view is superficial, you're more susceptible to right-wing talking points, like a broad spectrum "fear of ones that are different to you". But when you're more educated, more worldly, less blinkered you won't be as afraid of the other and less susceptible to a politician that They are after your jobs and benefits, and more aware that the politicians and rich people are trying to keep you down for their own gains.
> New ‘vector_store’ objects in the API so files can be added to a vector store and automatically parsed, chunked, and embedded in preparation for file search. Vector stores can be used across assistants and threads, simplifying file management and billing.

Noteworthy feature add.
I understand that GP commenter is referring to nationalisation of existing rail infrastructure, particularly given that the intent would be to "upgrade it to make passenger traffic a first-class citizen of the rails". That would not apply to the first high-speed rail line in America, as it already has by its very nature passenger traffic as a first-class citizen — indeed, it will almost certainly have passenger traffic as its only citizen.
> but they should definitely have a captcha of sorts to limit bot accounts

Captchas don't do much, they're super cheap to solve with services like 2captcha, capmonster, etc.

You can get recaptcha solved for $0.6/1k, hcaptcha for $0.8/1k or cheaper. (email is pretty cheap too, but still more expensive than captcha solving)

Requiring phone verification would be the most effective out of those because it's pretty expensive for the attacker, something like $0.02-$0.11 per verification is usually what I see
Piet is a milestone experiment among the esoteric programming languages, but I believe that it falls short of achieving its goal to make programs look like Mondrian paintings unless the developer really intends to do so.

I wish the language structure were designed in a way that anything that’s “written” with it would look like a Mondrian painting.
> People already wear earbuds all day.

Those are outliers, not representations of something most people would do. And even within that population, do they really wear them for 12+ hours straight? While driving, in class, etc.? I doubt it.

The reality is that no gadget that you put inside or over your ear will be as comfortable for long periods of time as something you wear on your clothes, or around your neck. I keep mentioning the word "unobtrusive", but this aspect is critical for mass adoption.

> For these short interactions you are talking about, our phones can already do this and people rarely use it.

The voice recognition accuracy and, more importantly, the actions you can do with it on current gen devices is not generally useful for many people. But this will improve.

I mentioned use cases that I can (poorly) imagine, but once the tech is 100% reliable, there will be many others that we can't think of today. The Rabbit demo seems fake partly because some of these scenarios are far fetched, but there will be a time when it will seem normal. Just like we couldn't imagine what smartphone apps would enable us to do in, say, 2005.

> Our home assistants can already do much of what you are talking about and uptake has been abysmal because people don't like it.

This is another category of devices. A speaker with microphones you put on your desk in one room is not a personal device. And many people, myself included, don't feel comfortable with a device built by a corporation that profits from personal data always listening, but I think that will change as well. And we'll have entirely self-hosted and open source alternatives for the privacy conscious as well.

Though I still think smart speakers, earbuds, smartphones and smartwatches will also see improvements, and become more useful as voice recognition and what it enables us to do becomes better. But these are not personal or unobtrusive enough to become deeply embedded in our daily lives. Wearable tech together with highly accurate voice recognition as an interface to AI assistants that know our preferences on a deep level, and are integrated with many of the same services we use today, sure seems like an improvement over any current gen "smart" gadget.
How do you monitor your rain tanks? I tried ultra sonic sensors but they invariably oxidize.
Your question implies it is obvious that a system of statistical models would (or should) be good at statistics. And that the opposite is a paradox. I would ask why you think that is obvious?

Being good at statistics is more of a knowledge graph of understanding concepts than a statistical model, I think.

Just like understanding a car engine.
Honestly I would prefer to have a 2DIN hole where I can put whatever infotainment I want, instead of being stuck with whatever the car maker included, and that I can change without changing my car.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by saying that the Japanese road network is not a grid. In terms of actual layout, it's quite grid-like. I would even say it's usually much closer to a nicely laid-out grid than the mess any European city is.

What Japan lacks are addresses that can be found easily without using a map. Apart from Kyoto, roads in Japanese cities don't have names (or number), so addresses within cities are not "{number} {name of street}". Cities are cut in areas smaller and smaller all the way down to a block. The last number will be the house on that block. So addresses within cities are "{name of area} {sub-area number} {block number} {house number}", with some variations from city to city.

An address might be "Nantokacho 11-16-8", which means the 8th house around the 16th block of the 11th sub-area of the Nantoka area. Good luck figuring that out without a map!

For me what killed search was 2016, after that year if some search term is "hot news" it becomes impossible to learn anything about it that wasn't published in the last week and you just get the same headline repeated 20 times in slightly different wording about it.

After that I only use search for technical problems, and mouth to mouth or specific authors for everything else.
Fair Use Wins: Court Sides with Cribl in Splunk's Lawsuit
I am sure this law/rule has even its own name, its just logical result of easiness and overabundance of something, that then becomes worthless. The more effort you put into anything, the more value it has.

Plus longevity of digital vs analog, yeah I am not holding my breath some future archaeologists will have much of our digital waste available.
Ah, the time when GPUs got fast enough that desktop compositors all became 3D and GPU-accelerated, and every mainstream OS decided to have cool effects to show off what they could do.

Windows Vista and 7 running Windows Aero, with its transparency, shiny bits, and Flip 3D (Windows + Tab).

Mac OS X Snow Leopard running Aqua, with its rounded buttons and blue scroll bars that were 'lickable globs of Crest Berrylicious Toothpaste Gel'.

And then Apple took a road-roller and flattened every UI element they could starting from OS X Lion and iOS 7; Microsoft and Google soon followed suit.

I unironically miss the late 2000s-aesthetic and human design of operating systems and UIs. But I'll concede that Web has got a lot better.
There is plenty, just google and you find a lot. Why is this so hard to believe, it is fairly obvious that the moms that teach will teach better at subjects they like and worse at subjects they hate, and most moms hate math.

Here is an article writing by a homeschooling association where they noted this: https://responsiblehomeschooling.org/the-homeschool-math-gap...

Here is a result of home schooled kids being behind on science, they don't major in science in college nearly as much, the difference is a staggering 33% majoring in STEM for non homeschooled and just 13% for homeschooled: https://www.educacaodomiciliar.fe.unicamp.br/sites/www.educa...

So if you wish for your kids to have the best possible career potential don't homeschool, that greatly lowers their chances at a good STEM career.

Thank You!
I would downvote but the option has been removed. The OP doesn't mention brand. Their parents may already have iPhone. The only phone issue mentioned is airplane mode, so it wouldn't make a difference.

Android phones have an "Easy Mode" which improves usability for seniors and anyone who prefers bigger buttons and simpler controls. I would expect enabling this may help.
Thanks for the feedback – to be clear we could never replace reading to your kids.

are you commenting by pasting chatgpt output?
I built custom PCBs for a Halloween costume a few years back. Fairly simple board, but that’s ideal for a first PCB. I installed KiCAD on a Monday, finished the design, ordered boards the next day, and they worked on the first spin. (I’d already bread-boarded everything previously, so this was just the “create schematic and make boards“ phase.)

If you want to learn how to design PCBs, I think it’s feasible to jump in and just start doing it (assuming you know how to design the circuit you want to put on it).

Android Automotive is already way beyond what manufacturers are releasing as "their own".

So unless it costs a lot of money to integrate, not picking AA isn't about building your own that's better, but it has to be about control. Or at least independance from a big tech, which I can understand.
This goes for both Gitlab Snippets and Github gists, but I never really wanted it to be backed by git.

In the beginning I saw it as just a convenient pastebin service associated with the git service, for single files and quick sharing.

It seems overkill to create a repo. When people make gists that are like 2-3 files they should just make a repo.

In practise the flight is much slower due to security etc

Only for very specific routes. If I want go to from here to the one of the maybe 4 closest large cities, I'm definitely taking the train. If I want to to go from here to just about any other major city in Europe flying is almost always much faster. A bunch of people from work where going to a conference in Amsterdam a few years ago and some of them wanted to take the train for environmental reasons, and the train was literally 20+ hours door to door from the midsized European city I live in. Directly flights are under 2 hours.
Thank you! I've rarely been as impressed by how well software works. Flashing, compiling, logging and OTA updates were always a PITA and with ESPHome it's a breeze. Logging over wifi feels like it shouldn't be that simple. I've created a mini IR receiver / transmitter to control my sound system with my TV remote. It was super simple to set up, and the integration with Home Assistant is great!
I'm extremely disappointed to learn that Firefox allows access to motion sensors by default and provides no option to make it ask for permission. It can only be disabled completely but this silently breaks legitimate uses like this one. This is a privacy nightmare. There is so much that can potentially be inferred from motion data, like user identity, mode of transport (maybe even location), what they're likely to be typing in the url bar or in an iframe, emotional state, a bunch of health information...

edit: Nice game, though. I wonder what it's made with. There seems to be a huge amount of generated shader code in the js. I wonder if that could be avoided.
Yup. And the station in Los Angeles will be far east of downtown. So if you take Amtrak into LA you'll have to take a taxi or a bus to further transfer to Los Vegas.

The capacity is actually pretty close between the US and China

https://www.brookings.edu/articles/global-manufacturing-scor...

The difference is largely in the products produced, for example, no one is building anything close to the F-35, which is a significant export for the US.

> America is a manufacturing superpower: Of the 22 manufacturing categories tracked by the U.N., the U.S. ranked first in six categories and second in 13 others, underscoring the breadth and competitiveness of American manufacturing. In only three sectors—apparel, motor vehicles and leather—did the U.S. fail to rank either first or second.

From: https://www.barrons.com/articles/china-manufacturing-semicon...

If we move beyond the US vs China to the West vs Authoritarians, the comparison becomes dominating
Part of this is also the different geography: Europe has more useful rivers and seas, so very bulk cargo can go by barge or ship.
There are magnetic sensors in which a floating magnet (sealed in plastic) position is read by sensors (Reed, Hall, etc) sealed as well.

This is one of these features that seems so simple and makes life so much easier in embedded programming where you often have exact ranges for things, and also delta types for fixed-point math.

Wouldn’t WWDC-related endeavors be more product-facing? I’m not so sure this has to do with their efforts to incorporate ai into products, and tbh I would say their ai research has been pretty strong generally speaking.
I think our programming languages haven't caught up to an ideal notation of semantics of computer system behaviour at a macro level.

The design patterns (Gang of Four etc) and software architectures that are so complicated they require extreme discipline to keep understandable. (And cognitive load)
Replacing jobs is a funny one. I don’t care about this. Looms replaced jobs. AI is a loom. People always have to change their job. You can’t get an 80’s programming job anymore for example. Even if you like tape archives alot and so on.

The “keep jobs” movement sounds wholesome until you realize it also imples keeping that job of the person who waves a flag in front of your car, etc.

The real goal is more like keep people happy, which with our economic system means keep them in money, with our calue system means keep them in jobs… but it doesn’t have to be the same job they had yesterday.

The worry about AI taking over the world is silly. In 1000 years there will be no humans anyway, at least as we recognise today. We would have fast evolved ourselves into something different. We might like being part AI anyway or all AI. It may take a few generations to see that. Hard for us to fathom.

Infact AI might be a way to keep intelligent life going beyond a climate catastrophe, and then explore space and so on.

A useful first step is to stop using Finder. Instead perform the required operations from the terminal. When you don't yet know how, Google it. The first couple of useful commands are ls: list files (lots of options); cd: change directory; cp:copy; mv:move -- aka rename; vi:edit text file; file: what type of file is it? ... etc.

If that's too daunting, then still have Finder open, but try to match the operations with above and more.

Also, knowning CL makes learning Elisp a breeze, so you can customize your editor like nothing else.
