> incredibly superior to a cell phone

I guess YMMV. I've recently had the chance to test drive some of the latest models from BMW and Audi, and honestly, I found their infotainment software to be quite laggy and sometimes unresponsive. It felt inexact and bloated, reminiscent of an old Windows XP laptop with a Samsung UI skin. While the CarPlay integration was ok, it still didn’t surpass the simplicity and efficiency of just using my iPhone mounted on the dashboard as a makeshift heads-up display.
Just... don't buy champagne and buy sparkling wine instead?
Isn't he the Google ads guy ?
Do you use an ad blocker? I can confirm the results: plumber ads that extend below the fold, followed by one useful article from Home Depot, then a useless "people also ask" blob of links, some videos (likely useful, faucets aren't complex), and another useless "people also" blob.

I am in the US, if that matters.
That's a good list. Would be interesting if they followed in the footsteps of Pine (Pinephone, Pine64, Pine book) but with higher quality products. Would imagine Fairphone would be an inspiration as well.

If I had to pick any one of those things specifically, it would be the NUC. MiniPCs seem fairly popular these days. But many of them come from Chinese companies with varying degrees of quality and support. Seems like there's an opening. Especially since Framework already sells a MiniPC of sorts: the CoolerMaster case + mainboard.

Something with a premium case, customizable ports, and upgradeable RAM + SSD, would be a perfect fit for what they're already doing.
Lease for $299/month isn't luxury pricing any more.
Interesting, I’m curious what you have in mind: what concrete product would Framework be selling (1/2/4U server? Laptop? NUC? Tower?), and how does the involvement of Oxide distinguish the product?

> It would be great to see them build a scaled down version of their product that runs on consumer grade hardware.

I don’t quite follow this: I thought “compute and storage by the rack on custom hardware for better integration” is Oxide’s product? If you take that away, what is left?

> This would give people interested in Oxide an easy way to run their Hubris OS on a supported platform.

My understanding is that Hubris runs on the microcontrollers that are part of the Oxide control-plane; ignoring the why, where would this run on consumer hardware? Is the user going to see it, or is it just a case of, for example, some of the fan controller uCs now running Hubris instead of whatever they would run otherwise (probably bare-metal Arm in some manufacturer-proprietary framework)?

As it happens, Hubris is already open source, so you can build/hack on it right now if you want to.
If you make fake cuestions, people will flag your post.

Try again, but make the intention clear. Put in the title something like "Migrator Wizard: Office 365 Migration Tool" it must be descriptive but avoid too much hype like "fantastic" or "amazing!!!. Put the link in the URL, but left the Text field empty.

One minute later, add a comment explaining that you are the author and that you made the tool and are available to answer questions in the thread.

Are you the author??? If you are lucky, expect a few technical questions, like what happens with the password of the Office 365 accounts, or if during the copy the data is stored localy or in the cloud, or if it runs only in Windows.
When I talk to folks like GP, they often assert that the non-CEO people who are advocating for AI safety are essentially non-factors, that really the only people whose policy agendas will be enacted are those who already have power, and therefore that the opinions of everyday activists don’t need to be considered when discussing these issues.

It’s a darkly nihilistic take that I don’t agree with, but I just wanted to distill it here because I often see people imply it without stating it out loud.
Hayabusa: Sigma-based forensics timeline generator for Windows event logs
I can't even begin to fathom why anyone would want to train an AI on this corpus. Reddit isn't a social media site. It's not organic. The vast majority of the content of the site is created by just a dozen users. (Those people have to be doing it as a full-time job.) At the end of the day, Reddit is a top-tier porn site, with just enough "social" thrown on top to give people something to read between wanks.

I see a lot of people express that they get value out of the technical subs, like finding answers to programming questions there, but for the life of me, I can't see it. Ninety percent of the time, there's not even a bad answer. If there is, there are narcissists and sociopaths pedantically arguing about it. If Reddit has captured a particular search, and is taking up the first several slots, I will add "-site:reddit.com" (and YT) to my terms. I keep wondering what I'm missing, and it's starting to feel like I'm being gaslit into believing there's something of value there with internet-wide astroturfing.

And the same thing goes for any other sub, too, from mechanical keyboards to so-called "audiophile" gear (don't get me started) to various specific gaming "communities" I've tried to participate in. Contrary opinions, no matter how delicately expressed, are run out of town on a rail. There may be a useful comment now and again, but they are drowned by rudeness, ignorance, stupidity, pedantry, and -- most of all -- gatekeeping. Do I sound bitter? I'm bitter. Good luck with that.

Just a small note: any media server is the core component. Plex is one popular option, but Emby and Jellyfin (open source) are viable options too.

Overseerr/Jellyseerr is for automatically handling requests. This is only useful if you share access to your server with family or friends.
> Apps installed from alternative stores (using APIs made for those) aren't subject to those restrictions

These restrictions already exist for in call audio accessibility APIs. At least one call recorder app has gone as far as making their own app store to bypass these restrictions.
I agree, repairability is more interesting requirement than modularity. You can get the former without requiring the latter & you can get the latter without achieving the former (e.g. proprietary connectors for modularity that don't have any broader adoption).

As for luck of trust of government, that's an overbroad generalization as to the root of it. That's one class of reasons for a specific population group. There are others that don't share those reasons (e.g. the Bundy/BLM standoff had nothing to do with the government not implementing common sense ideas & the people involved share ideological 0 in common with those that are skeptical of the government for the reasons you mentioned).
I think he's talking about the ESPHome web app - it's a Python app you run on a server which provides a web-based IDE to manage your ESPHome devices.

To be clear, it is not hosted by the ESPHome devices themselves, it's a separate component.
Just started noticing it about a week ago. As someone else said, it only seems to happen when you're not logged in AND on a VPN. I can still login while on VPN and can still surf Reddit anonymously when not on a VPN.
UuidExtensions[1], a C# library, has a way of generating / encoding IDs that has several useful properties:

1. IDs can be generated anywhere (client-side, server-side, etc.) and are still unique
2. IDs are ordered by time
3. IDs don't use L and O because those can be confused for other characters

I've found it very handy in my travels.

Is that an Espressif or an ESPHome recommendation?

Were I designing a product that uses one of these I would certainly not use the ESP8266. For hobby projects, if I can buy them on Amazon, eBay or elsewhere, the 8266 remains a valid choice (for me.)
Meta's business model is figuring users out and selling ads to them, as well as having to police posts on an industrial scale to try to remove stuff like election interference, terrorist videos, etc. AI is used for all of this.

The GPU cluster that they trained their Llama models on was actually built to train Reelz (their TikTok competitor) to recognize video content for recommendation purposes, which is the thing that TikTok does so well - figuring out users' preferences.

Possible Bubbles of Spacetime Curvature in the South Pacific (2012)
2hrs 10min +50-75 minutes to east of LA is a distance but 4-5+ hours highly variable by driving is an interesting choice since you have a car at your destination.

There is also going to be two intermediate stops in California at “Hesperia and one in Apple Valley.” (1)

So, 3.5 hours or so for guessing $100 one way versus 4-5+ hours at $40 gas 30mpg 220miles by car vs 1hr 8 minutes gate to gate $21-$60 by air without including security for any options.

They mentioned a metro link stop for LA but nothing about a plan for quite a ways off the strip in Las Vegas. Maybe a shuttle stop on the airport - car rental return loop. It’s going to be opposite the Las Vegas South Premium Outlets at Warmsprings rd and Las Vegas Blvd.

I compare to Brightline’s other rail project from Miami to Orlando. Tickets $80-$300 for similar mileage. Their high speed rail ended up with 70mph to a record 130mph.

Oh - and if you're URL-hacking, the episode IDs are in binary. Episode 101 (binary) is episode 5 (decimal).

That doesn’t make it a compliment. A compliment is what a facebook advertiser or facebook user would also buy (or at least buy with their time) along with facebook. 5G data might be an example for FB users.
Google deserves to burn at this point. They had the rest of the field lapped, they were set up for a victory prance into one of the most lucrative markets of all time, and Sundar has just burned all of it. Dude has zero long term strategic vision, he's a MBA bot set to "plunder light" and he's getting embarrassingly outplayed by Satya Nadella.
Engineers Should Study Philosophy
Meaningless executive speak. How should employees move faster exactly? Unless you are sharing exact guidelines, cutting down pointless projects and reducing work load, removing red tape etc. how do you expect everyone to magically ship quicker?

If startups are beating you at your game with a tiny fraction of the employees, funding and resources, it should be obvious that the number of hours put into the job isn't the problem here. Yet no corporate executive is ever going to go up on stage and admit that their strategy and execution were the cause of the mess. It's always those lazy employees. "Just let me crack the whip a few times to light a fire under them. That'll fix the problem".
In general, it’s better to run Bazarr for subtitles.
Club career
While still a student at the Manchester City Academy, Foden showed such talent that it was clear that the club had finally produced its own star, who it had no intention of loaning out. He made his first appearance in the senior team at the age of 17 and made an immediate impact. He made his debut in pre-season matches against Manchester United and Real Madrid, and made his Champions League debut on 21 November 2017. At 17, Foden won the Premier League title with Manchester City and repeated the feat in the 2018/2019 season. Despite remaining on the bench and rarely getting game time, he celebrated titles with his team and was included in the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest Premier League winner.
Gradually, the club began to trust young talents more and put them on the field more often. In a match against Tottenham in April 2019, Foden scored the winning goal that decided the outcome. He won the FA Cup, FA Community Shield and EFL Cup three times with the team. According to Transfermarkt, Foden's market value was estimated at €40 million in 2020. According to the portal, the Englishman’s contract with Manchester City is valid until July 2024. The left-footed midfielder is currently on his salary from his hometown club and has no plans to leave. Foden is still keen to learn and improve, even though his skills on the ball are already amazing. FIFA 20 gave him a score of 77, citing his poise, agility, speed, ball control and vision. Despite receiving numerous praise for his talent, Foden admitted he doesn't feel the pressure of high expectations. He simply does what he loves most and strives to realize his potential. During quarantine, the footballer made good use of his time, working out one-on-one situations.

He's got problems... He says his teams are working 120hrs a week, but he wants them to work more. I think that this is not going to happen!
I haven't looked at Homebrew since that got started. The philosophical difference at that time was using macports and having a consistent and managed */local/ collection of tools with self contained dependencies vs. adding new tools with dependencies tied to the current Mac OS release.

I still use MacPorts for that reason and it is easy enough to create a local portfile for whatever isn't in Macports.

I find this to be the easy way to manage networked development computers.
If most of Reddit's new content is spambots pretending to have conversations in order to promote their product, why would anyone pay for that? Providing Reddit data to LLM trainers is directly encouraging this outcome, so it's shortsighted.

If we're sharing anecadata, I've interacted professionally with organisations of all sizes and types (from startups to big banks to public sector) from all around the world, and I strongly disagree.

Legacy companies exist everywhere. Big banks with weird "security" practices exist everywhere. There's nothing special about French or German companies' digital security. If anything, they're often better than American ones because there's regulations forcing them to deal with some things like securing private data, meanwhile companies like Equifax can leak everything about everyone and not care in the slightest.

Yeah, I had exactly this problem with Google the other day, I googled something and saw the first result was a reddit post and the short summary under the link was like "Yes I've seen this problem BUT WHAT YOU REALLY SHOULD BE DOING" and I was optimistic that someone had some good guidance. Guess what I should be doing? Uninstalling windows and running Linux... That answer somehow had made it into the Google summary despite being downvoted on actual reddit.
See the KB article[1]. You’re supposed to find a freight forwarder in a EU country that they “support”, select that as your country and ship there (and thence wherever you actually want to). The only allowance is that they will deign to not actively decline your payment or cancel your order if you pay with a credit card from another EU country (unlike everywhere else in the “unsupported” world[2]). I guess that’s probably legal?..

(I don’t know if they actually mean EEA when they say EU, or if they actually mean EU. That may be important given you’re in Norway.)

Musk is objectively a bad man, though. Remember when he called someone a "pedo guy" because that someone dares to disagree with his proposal for saving trapped people? Inexcusable.
I'm not sure that is the business model. Framework laptops are more expensive, but not by much. They compete well with Macs and the high end laptops they are aiming to replace.

On the other hand, TVs can be bringing in quite a significant amount of their revenue post-purchase, like $100/year.
For me it isnt about price, I happily pay for Disney+ and Hulu bundle. And Apple TV+ but that is part of my Apple One subscription.

My problem is where things are, I don't subscribe to Netflix because they seem determined to not work with the Apple TV app which is my primary way of watching things. Most of my content is in there. I want all of my stuff to be together and we have a solution but Netflix refuses to support it.

Now annoyingly, this problem is not actually fixed by pirating. But I am at least not supporting their behavior.
Are you doing temperature control by yourself or are you feeding them to the Mitsubishi units as a remote temperature reference?

I know the Mitsubishi "wired controllers" (basically the official thermostats) can provide remote temp to the unit and the unit has DIP switches to select between thermostat-reported temp and internal return air sensor temp.

I'm not sure if CN105 has a way to provide this temp ref - if so, you could try it. Just make sure to set your wired controller (if any) as a "secondary" controller (otherwise it will also send its temp every second and overwrite the one you sent) and then set the proper DIP switch.

> Hollywood accounting makes it very hard to trust tales of "losses".

Hollywood accounting applies to individual titles.

It doesn't apply to entire services - why would you tell your shareholders that you are making a loss to depress the stock price?
The exact same mistakes as Japan - deciding to concentrate on their large local market which is protected via tariffs, but then completely outsourcing IP in non-target markets via JVs (eg. Renault's JVs in India, Volkswagen's JVs in China, Dassault and Thales JVs in India, Airbus JVs in China), but also failing to attract enough talent from abroad to innovate in these countries.

The Eurozone crisis also completely destroyed Western Europe's competitiveness (like the Asian Financial Crisis and Black Thursday did for Japan).

American companies make JVs abroad as well, but will also help transfer promising employees to the US, give them a competitive salary, and sponsor their visa process.

If you're smart enough to become a MechE for Dassault in India, you're also smart enough to become a MechE for Ford R&D in the US or India. Going from earning €25k in India to €45-50k in France or Germany isn't worth it, compared to moving to America and earning €90-110k.

Germany's automotive industry is a great example of this. In the 1990s-2000s, they began a MASSIVE expansion into China. Chinese consumers ditched their bicycles and motorbikes for the VW Jetta. But while VW continued to concentrate on ICE vehicles, Chinese challenger brands in the 2000s began researching EV technology as they were already the goto suppliers for batteries. Fast forward to today, and now German companies are dependent on Chinese EV R&D in order to build European EV platforms.
Good point. I have been up way too long. I re-read the question now as just wanting alternatives.

I read the question earlier about email deliverability and black list management as being rhetorical in that those services are usually performed by a centralized service provider.

Glad someone was able to respond with some examples.

This doesn't apply to third-party stores I think.

If this works anything like other prompts of this kind, this will only appear for apps installed directly from an apk file, but not via apps installed from a store, even if the store itself was installed through an app file.

In principle, it would be possible to create a store that installs apps from the file system, perhaps with some affordances to enable automatic updates from a URL. I don't think it could support app files directly, there are some extra requirements on store "bundles", but an "installer" should be possible.
I think you’re finding “different” car manufacturers using that system because they’re all VW owned brands. You’ll find the rest of the parts on the car are mostly the same also. If you want to annoy an Audi owner, point out which VW model is 95 percent identical… in some cases like the Q7 vs VW Touareg, the VW model is even higher end and nicer.
I actually think he’s right. Us Hacker News types don’t trust Google at all but for the average person it’s where they go to find information, and we’ve seen time and time again that the majority either don’t understand or don’t care about many privacy concerns.

This post risks confusing two things: maintaining open source software, and trying to make money from doing that. There's no real problem with the former: you do it because you want to, and you ignore people if they're unpleasant on GitHub or wherever. You just focus on making some nice software because that's what you want to do in your spare time, or perhaps in order to bolster your applications for paid work. Making money from open source software is something different entirely, and that's what the author is complaining about.
