Ranking means deciding which document (A or B) is better to return to the user when queried.

Not writing a traditional forward-algorithm to rank these documents implies one of the following:

- You write a "backward" algorithm (ML, regression, statistics, whatever you want to call it).

- You don't use algorithms to solve it. An army of humans chooses the rankings in real time.

- You don't rank documents at all.

> Counting how many links are pointing to each document is sufficient if you know how long that link existed

- Link-counting (e.g. PageRank) is query-independent evidence. If that's sufficient for you, you'll always return the same set of documents to each user, regardless of what they typed into the search box.

At best you've just added two more ranking factors to the mix:

- document A
qie:
length: 2Kb
misspellings: 14
age: 18 months
+ in-links: 4
+ in-link-spamminess: 2.31E4
qde:
matches 2 of your keywords exactly
matches a synonym of another of your keywords

- document B
qie:
length: 3Kb
misspellings: 7
age: 5 months
+ in-links: 2
+ in-link-spamminess: 2.54E3
qde:
matches 1 of your keywords exactly
matches 2 keywords by synonym

So I ask again:

- Which document matches your query better, A or B?

- How did you decide that, such that not only can you program a non-ML algorithm to perform the scoring, but you're certain enough of your decision that you can fix the algorithm when it disagrees with you ( >> debuggable and understandable by human search engineers )
Now you MUST share more details on the hardware (case, power etc) and process you followed for all of those devices.

> If the invention takes 3 weeks and $0…

…then the patent can be invalidated on the basis that it is obvious.

If the invention is commercially valuable, then invalidating it (or just pretending it doesn’t exist until you get sued, then invalidating it) can make more sense than licensing it.

A related issue is that there are many, many patents that most people (e.g., competitors) mostly ignore, because everyone, including the patent owner, knows that they would be invalidated if challenged.

Increased restrictions on which programs may run and what they can do are the future of computing. We really can't afford the risks of letting everybody just run arbitrary code. Windows and macOS are next.

It didn't mention apps installed with 'adb install'. I think you might be able to run those with no restrictions. And LineageOS, GrapheneOS, and so forth may give you the option of disabling this feature or making it more configurable.
Cool! Have you run this against a corpus of known ransomware samples to see how well it performs?
I don't think it would. I was really thinking more about things like home appliances. An embedded computer is handy for a washing machine, for instance, but it doesn't need to be connected to the internet (no, notifying you it's finished isn't necessary: the machine should tell you when you press "start" approximately how long it will take).

For a car, I really don't know. I don't see any way of putting up-to-date navigation software into a dashboard without a significant security risk, which means needing the ability to keep software updated. Even CarPlay/AA are non-trivial and would need security updates.
Note that Gmail doesn't use zero-access encryption: https://proton.me/blog/zero-access-encryption. This is why Google has the technical ability to scan your email content, and Proton doesn't - on Proton Mail, you can only access your inbox with the account password, which only the account owner should have.

Email trackers, on the other hand, load upon the opening of a particular emails, not the entire inbox, so that shouldn't prolong the time it takes to load the web app, but only those emails that contain them.
If you could get 5 self-driving single seaters instead of one 5-seater for the same price... probably the 5-seater wins.

Start with the basics of your shell. The internet is full of good info (like here for example https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/) to get you started. Once you're at the point where you've customized your shell, and tried a bit of scripting move on from just playing around with tutorials and documentation and start doing something useful/entertaining.

Look into specific tools for whatever you need or are interested in doing. grep is really good to know. If you're into networking/internet stuff dig, whois, ping, and traceroute are too. wget curl and youtube-dl are great and provide all kinds of opportunities to automate some of the things you do online which can make you want to dig more into shell scripting and keep you going back to your terminal. ffmpeg and ImageMagick too. Maybe pick up some python.
I don't have an iPhone but I wouldn't buy a car without Android Auto - and it's usually the same cars that support carplay.

Anyway it's pretty much moot because besides Tesla, all new cars support both Carplay and AA.
I agree, but if it made HSR more popular in the US, it could lead to more rail lines being built elsewhere, which would raise productivity.
It's worth noting that talking about the 'European' rail infrastructure is a bit of a misnomer since there is no standardisation of the rail system of regulations between countries and as such moving freight across multiple countries is basically never done.

Show HN: Fireview – Notion for Your Firestore
Hey HN! We’ve been building apps on Firestore for more than 5 years and have decided to put an end to our misery when it comes to visualizing our app data.

We’ve opened up the waitlist for Fireview, a Notion-like tool that lets you build custom dashboards in minutes, using natural language to describe the data you want to view/plot.

Please let us know what features you’re most excited by and some pain points that we could address!

80% of freight is done by rail in Sweden I know nothing about logistics so this is just first hit on Google, I do not make the point to contradict you. I think the issue here is how you split up the big numbers into managable percentages for easy statistics, I'm guessing there is a lot of issues when you are talking about this. The biggest is that the US has spent 70 years of lobbying from car manufacturers and oil companies to make people use cars, that has left a scar all over the world. Not only in the freight vs. passenger statistics.

I actually want Play Store apps to be equally configurable. Apps like Truecaller refuse to work without so many permissions. Being Android you'd expect some way to provide a dummy contact book, location & other accesses that apps need.

Heck I'd want an option to freeze apps once I'm logged in & only unfreeze them when I need to use them. Would absolutely improve battery life.

Some thoughts, worth what you paid...

You can't share enough information here to get really good advice. If you do this you will need someone whose advice you trust, who understands your weaknesses as well as your strengths. Could be a friend, could be a coach.

As someone else said, if you can make this a win for everyone involved, that's the best and most likely to succeed approach. To do that starts with asking good open ended questions and listening to what those with the power to make this decision want for themselves, especially the CEO, and showing them respect.

People may express confidence in you now when you're not in charge. Inevitably if you do end up in charge you'll end up less popular. If part of what motivates you is what other people think of you, be careful.

Know your plan b, and c.

Good luck to you and everyone involved.

I went from CarPlay (Kia e-Niro) to Tesla (Model 3) to CarPlay (Volvo XC40 Recharge) and I vastly prefer CarPlay. I've tried wireless CarPlay (BMW M2) and while convenient when entering and exiting the vehicle I found it to be quite laggy compared to wired. While Tesla does have the Apple Podcasts app it's a really bad experience. It won't sync playback state properly so I have to memorize what I'm listening to and how far I've gotten when I switch from car to phone or back. Similar story with Apple Music and even Spotify (which is usually great at keeping state between devices but not with Tesla for some reason). Yes, I paid for "premium connectivity". Tesla did have better route planning though.

I also really don't like wireless charging. It spares the port from constant wear but my device tends to get really hot and the charging is very inefficient. I plan to go back to slow wired charging everywhere to put less strain on the battery. I already have in my car and by my PC. Unfortunately my XC40 doesn't support dual screen CarPlay so I use the Google Maps in Android Automotive for navigation and use CarPlay for music, podcasts, etc. Switching from AA Google Maps and CarPlay and back is not a high friction interaction though so it's an okay solution. I'm also able to deactivate wireless charging so I'm pretty happy with this solution.

I know next to nothing about this project but isn’t this a way to build a train line somewhat cost effective? Once it exists, the land around both stations will increase in utility until it’s no longer a “nowhere”. If you build downtown to downtown you have to either dig a massive, expensive tunnel or buy up a lot of high value land or both.
Perhaps it’s won’t break even for half a century but if it eventually does, it will be a success.

Is there any good data/analysis on how prevalent attacks on these devices are?

I’m always on the fence with this stuff. As an engineer I like having access to my device, and the freedom to tinker.

But on the flip side. It’s obvious to me that these devices that people’s lives revolve around are absolutely critical targets.

Bank accounts, location, 2fa apps/sms, crypto apps, scam calls, literally all the user’s communications are on offer.
You've got it completely backwards. Microsoft went all in on flat with their Windows Phone interface circa 2010. iOS 7 was literally years later, and arguably overcorrected.
That ML I have no problem with.

This new ML that's supposed to be the basis for an entire new economic wave, that I mostly dislike.

It's up to app maker to ensure it will work without permissions granted.

...but ofc most app makers are lazy and just throw up error whenever they don't get what their wont, forcing users to give up.

I guess google could introduce a dummy system for every single service and feed that to the apps when the permission is not granted, but I imagine that would be a lot of work. Maybe some day...

That has absolutely nothing to do with it: these projects are mostly through rural areas. The Tokaido shinkansen line is largely underground, in tunnels through mountains. The new Chuo shinkansen maglev line currently being built is 90% underground.

Touchscreen is such a stupid low value move for driver. Physical knobs are safer in many ways, last much much more, I don't need to lose contact with whats happening in front of the car to manage these, just muscle memory. BMW has nice big physical knob (turn&press) to control all menus, much better than hunting on flat glossy screen with fingers.

Some stuff can be managed from steering wheel, but instead of putting there things like AC there are voice controls, while we all know very well this increases danger on the roads and calls shouldn't be made while driving.

That being said, I choose (used) cars based on many metrics, and this is just one of them and not the most important one. So its sort of self-inflicted move to worse.
Even for passenger transport the historical legacy of national rail networks means that travel across the continent hasn't been a priority. Recently EU initiatives seek to remedy this:

TLDR post by the person who still adores Jails and believes it's superior to Docker ecosystem.

From the another article which author definitely has read:

> What’s happened now with the transition to having a Debian basis, the people I used to have 90 percent of their time working on FreeBSD, they’re working on ZFS features now … That’s what I want to see; value add for everybody versus sitting around, implementing something Linux had a years ago. And trying to maintain or backport, or just deal with something that you just didn’t get out of box on FreeBSD.”
( https://blocksandfiles.com/2024/04/08/ixsystems-no-one-is-ge... )

It should be clear on extra costs and lacking behind - I tend to trust IXsystems here more than FreeBSD user.

From the current article situation with security updates breaking the system is, let's say nice - my bet here is FreeBSD is lacking LTS and it matters. I guess it's not a problem on Debian due to its stable packages policy.

From my personal observations, decay of FreeBSD was mentioned by many since 2010 if not earlier, so nothing new here. Time to stop galvanize it.

None. This is all manufactured consent.
From my naive and amateur view, the relative consistency result makes NF at least as useful as ZFC, since every model of ZFC can be extended into a model of NF. But it seems it won't make NF all that useful unless:

1. We prove NF is inconsistent. Then ZFC is also inconsistent (and the stars start winking out in the night sky ;)

2. We prove ZFC is inconsistent. Then there's still a chance NF is consistent (fingers crossed!)

I'm probably ignoring more practical "quality of life" benefits of NF, like being able to talk about proper classes, and side stepping Russell's paradox with stratified formulas.
I guess I am looking at the issue on the level below media, primarily as a trade issue.

just downgrading bios (supposedly supported by the laptop manufacturer as an option in the bios) bricked a laptop of mine and it required scouring the internet to find the solution.

it is a shame that despite all of this you still are dependent on the os and its ecosystem to apply the undervolt. disabling virtualization and wsl is a very poor sacrifice for letting throttlestop work.

80% of freight is done by rail in Sweden

I find that very unlikely and this link seems to contradict that:
https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php...

Another aspect that needs to be taken into account is that a large part (perhaps 40%) of any number you see on total tonnes of rail freight in Sweden, is made up of handful of short rail lines doing nothing but transporting iron ore from a few large mines to the nearest harbour.
The aim is probably not social security, but political power through total censorship.
