> as the language is working against you

Right, but this is one of those situations where a reasonable person could conclude "The language is not working to help me solve the problem I'm trying to solve." Sometimes you don't want JavaScript sloppiness and you also don't want TypeScript structural-type "sloppiness," desiring instead nominal types.

This is a clever way to use the existing infrastructure to get nominal types with no additional runtime overhead.
http or https doesn't matter (in fact, you shouldn't rely on it because the end user could be MITM'd already with a root certificate maliciously installed on their device).

You should sign binaries and verify and consider the network/distribution method compromised by default.
No, it does use the car's GPS unit if it's provided to the phone. Which is why I started this thread by saying it did.
Zoho's biggest asset is that it's generally Good Enough. I was an early adopter of their remote desktop software, and it went from being Good Enough to Good. They're responsive to feedback and generally good folks. We recommend them at work for their email on a regular basis (context: managed WordPress hosting)
I think hybrids are a good thing. 90% of the (environmental) benefit for 10% of the battery requirement.

This also applies to putting PV on the cars themselves: 80% of the mean daily milage is still really useful, even though it really isn't going to be enough for everyone.
Bees’ channel: hello Rex, hello, hello!
Since "major questions" has no concrete definition, this means each minor point can/will be litigated until the court determines whether that individual point is a "major question."

Quite arguably, Congress deemed the precipitating questions were not "major questions" and expressed as much by delegating to agencies.
CP/M didn't have directories until 3.0, which was released in 1983. DOS didn't have them until 2.0.

The backslash was chosen because the forward slash was used for arguments. This convention was taken from other timesharing operating systems of the day.
And older too. The average Amtrak car is 30 years old.
I use branded types for database id’s to avoid mixing them up. It seems like better documentation and might catch some errors, but mixing up database id’s seems like an uncommon error, so hard to say.
Some customers actually ask for it. The correct behavior is to have https as the default and have the user explicitly switch to http.
I surmised that too. The product is a camera/mic extension to a phone.
I don't see that information on that link.

On this link "Our Story" (https://www.zoho.com/ourstory.html?ireft=nhome&src=aboutus-d...) I see:

"In the 1990s, in a small apartment located in the suburbs of Chennai in southern India, a simple, yet revolutionary idea was born: "Build smart technology to help businesses work better." This idea evolved to become the world-class technology company we're known as today."

According to Wikipedia:

"From 1996 to 2011, the company was known as AdventNet, Inc. and initially provided network management software.[8][9]

AdventNet expanded operations into Japan in 2001 and shifted focus to small and medium businesses (SMBs).[9]

Zoho CRM was released in 2005, along with Zoho Writer, the company's first Office suite product.[9] Zoho Projects, Creator, Sheet, and Show were released in 2006.[9] Zoho expanded into the collaboration space with the release of Zoho Docs and Zoho Meeting in 2007. In 2008, the company added invoicing and mail applications, reaching one million users by August of that year."

So they were not providing SMB office software until 2005.

It's weird to me that there are these two narratives. Are we talking about the same Zoho, or is there more to it to either of these stories? Was it a case of shifting origin stories? One of the 2009 articles announcing the change in name from AdventNet to Zoho included mentioning the corporate HQ in Pleasanton.
It's interesting that the output of the genAI will inevitably get fed into itself. Both directly and indirectly by influencing humans who generate content that goes back into the machine. How long will the feedback loop take to output content reflecting new trends? How much new content is needed to be reflected in the output in a meaningful way. Can more recent content be weighted more heavily? Such interesting stuff!
> I’m very unclear on why these (rabbit and humane) aren’t just apps.

That's the one thing that seemed really clear to me. People's phones are too locked down so these can't be apps, you'd either hit Apple restrictions right away, or would inevitably hit them as you developed further. (The first time you, for example, wanted to always listen transparently for a wake word the way an iPhone or HomePod does for Siri, and Apple blocked you for it. Or the first time you wanted to show your UI while the screen is locked, Apple is allowed do do this for Maps, but you definitely aren't allowed to in your own app).

At this point, if you want to do anything big on mobile, you have to also re-invent (or copy a pre-OEM android) smartphone, just for the chance to try it out. Just like Rabbit does here.
Here here! Google needs to trim the fat, desperately! They need to eliminate all of their non revenue generating departments, ban all internal discussion forums and such that aren't laser focused on the job at hand. Cut 30-40% of all engineers, and get rid of the free food and other benefits. Install vending machines and charge for meals at their cafeterias, run them like any other business and make a profit. Get rid of free employee health benefits, make the employees pay for them. And for god sake get rid of that ridiculous swimming pool! Anything that isn't directly in the service of delivering value for shareholders needs to be done away with, starting with those hair-brained cash burning crazy X projects.
It's more like:

<div class="flex flex-col items-start p-6 space-y-4 bg-gray-100 rounded-lg shadow-lg max-w-sm">
{links.map(link => <a href="#" class="text-blue-600 hover:text-blue-800 transition duration-300 ease-in-out">{link}</a>)}
</div>

Where links are defined elsewhere:

const links = [
'Home',
'About',
'Services',
'Portfolio',
'Contact'
];

Otherwise, regular CSS would be repetitive too:

<div class="link-list">
<a href="#" class="transition-link">Home</a>
<a href="#" class="transition-link">About</a>
<a href="#" class="transition-link">Services</a>
<a href="#" class="transition-link">Portfolio</a>
<a href="#" class="transition-link">Contact</a>
</div>

Not to mention your parent className has a lot going on:

flex flex-col items-start p-6 space-y-4 bg-gray-100 rounded-lg shadow-lg max-w-sm

That would translate to this CSS:

.link-list {
display: flex;
padding: 1.5rem;
margin-top: 1rem;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: flex-start;
border-radius: 0.5rem;
background-color: #F3F4F6;
box-shadow: 0 10px 15px -3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1), 0 4px 6px -2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05);
}

> thought we had HTML list

We have <ol> and <ul> and in the early days of HTML5 people were wrapping those in <nav> to semantically say a list of navigational links. I guess this didn't because it wasn't clear what the role of your links are.
A Deeper Dive into Apple's App Site Association File
The article provides a comprehensive overview of Apple's App Site Association file, which is crucial for iOS developers implementing Universal Links in their apps. It breaks down how the file serves as a secure way to validate links between websites and apps, discusses how Apple's CDN operates, offers tips for debugging universal links, and explains how to track refresh times for Apple's AASA CDN cache.
Probably not.

I could definitely see using something like this to force some constraints on my favorite bugbear for my problem domain: values that should have units. It matters a lot if "time" is nanoseconds, microseconds, or seconds, but most time-related functions just take in "number" like that's okay and won't cause thousand- or million-fold magnitude errors.

This is one way to provide some language safeguarding against treating 5 nanoseconds as the same as 5 microseconds.
I'm curious as to how well this works when upscaling from 1080p to 4K or 4K to 8K.

Their 128x128 to 1024x1024 upscales are very impressive, but I find the real artifacts and weirdness are created when AI tries to upscale an already relatively high definition image.

I find it goes haywire, adding ghosting, swirling, banded shadowing, etc as it whirlwinds into hallucinations from too much source data since the model is often trained to work with really small/compressed video into an "almost HD" video.
Yeah, it seems like we should have stricter "obviousness" testing when patents are issued. At least based on some of the software ones I've seen.
Maybe I named the department wrong, but my point is, back before PowerPoint, in the era of more analog presentations, large companies had a separate group of people you would ask to prepare charts and graphics for your presentation. Nowadays, you have to do it yourself.

My point is that all of us are constantly distracted by random, intermittent tasks outside our specializations, which previously were done by dedicated specialists - people who could afford to become proficient at that work. This is a huge productivity hit for everyone.
Meanwhile, China orders Apple to yank WhatsApp and Facebook apps from its app store in China, because, ya know... they can.

> Dearth of published AI research

https://machinelearning.apple.com/research seems to have too many publications to be considered a "dearth" IMO.
The fact that you have enough reading comprehension to summarize my comment, deconstruct its arguments, and formulate a counterargument puts you in an extremely small minority. You and I spend time around people who read, who have reading comprehension. Of those, a shrinking minority occasionally read actual books.

Most people never, ever, ever read paper or e-reader books. They struggle mightily in school to read the things they are _forced_ to read, and then say "never again" for life when they graduate. This is true even for intelligent people who have "good jobs" with disposable income and time set aside that they could conceivably spend reading paper or e-reader books. Seriously, if half of your friends have read a single paper or e-reader book in the last year, you are in a very very small minority.

Media that people regularly consume: Cable TV, Streaming Services, Instagram and TikTok, Movies, Sports, Reddit/Twitter/the news (CNN, etc), paper or e-reader books. What is your intuition about how large each of these categories is compared to the others? If you say "books" is even 5%, you are off by an order of magnitude.

What I am saying is that this holds true, even for a fandom like Harry Potter, which is ostensibly based around reading a book!
Wow I’m surprised the reaction was to ban futures on just onions specifically due to some market manipulation occurring. Surely this kind of manipulation wasn’t restricted to just onions? It seems incredibly short sighted
I don't have any thoughts on any of the other stuff, but I am sticking with Windows 10 until the Windows 11 LTSC version comes out later this year. Especially with a lot of the crap that Microsoft keeps adding too Windows 11 recently.

I refuse to run a non stripped down version of Windows. Windows 10 LTSC has been amazing for gaming, particularly on my Steam Deck.

That being said, almost a year and a half away doesn't really seem like a time to start panicking unless I am missing something?
Agreed if FileMaker would do what you needed. 1990s FileMaker was not really relational, right? To be painfully fair to Microsoft, Access was more powerful and did a nice job of balancing capability and UX.

For many contemporary use cases where one might have used FileMaker in the nineties, there’s SharePoint lists and PowerBI.

They’re referring to a different California HSR.

Also, for the Las Vegas link, the terminus is on the Metrolink line so you can take a commuter train from Union Station. People taking Amtrak from points east could get off at the Ontario station and it’s a relatively short taxi/bus ride to the RC terminal (Amtrak uses a different set of tracks coming into L.A. from the east than the Metrolink station serving RC). I suppose it would be feasible to extend the line a little further south to connect with Amtrak should there be demand (if they went to the Ontario station, then the Ontario airport could also be integrated into the service).

Right - so the question is: should the Senate be able to pass any law, no matter what, because it was overwhelmingly voted for? To me the "overwhelmingly voted for" criteria is not enough. Why would we even need a Supreme Court in that case? Just let the legislative branch do whatever it wants as long as most vote in favor.
That sounds like a nice story, hope you're doing well nowadays!

Ask HN: Is the Job Market Still Tough for You?
Been looking for a job since December 2023-- for the 1st few months of 2024 there was maybe 1 job a month. (Edited to add: this was in January/Feb, when I was only seeing 1-2 job posts a month. I am seeing more now, but being ghosted, see below)

A few more jobs now, but still havent had a single interview. I send my CV and it goes into some blackhole and I never hear anything back.

I could understand if I was being rejected after interviews, but Im not even getting to that stage. My CV isn't that bad, and previously I used to get calls from recruiters all the time. Now I'm having to chase recruiters who are ghosting me.

I am worried about how this large gap will look on my CV.

Starting to lose hope a little-- and starting to feel a little desperate.

Is it just me? Im in the UK.
I don't see why. I greatly prefer typescript's structural typing for almost everything. But id's in data models are an exception, so I use branding for those. It works perfectly, the only overhead is in the write-once declaration and now I am protected from accidentally using an AccountId where a MemberId was expected, even though they are both just strings.
Advocacy for phonics was weird before either Bush. I believe the KKK advocated for phonics before 1988. Using phonics had fallen out of favor years before that.
For sure; I didn’t realize sensible systemic reforms were on the table.

Many Walmart and Amazon employees could not, due to lack of capital.

I can't speak highly enough about the responsiveness. I've had a few issues with their products (for example, they locked me out of my email account while traveling abroad) and they resolved all of them very quickly.

I don't think that having access to websites and media in China, alongside all the websites and media from everywhere else on Earth, will result in us electing congressmen who are secretly working for China. There is zero evidence that TikTok is making that happen. There's no evil on TikTok that isn't on facebook and youtube. What good is it for us to voluntarily give up our freedoms in order to keep the China boogeyman from taking them from us?

Very few countries across the world do that. Govts usually own a chunk of the largest firms in strategic sectors and have seats on the board. Look at Boeing/Airbus ownership and the outcomes. Its just easier to influence large corps when you own them. If you don't own them then Boeing is the latest example in a long line up of large corps, showing everyone how they skirt whatever law and regulation the govt passes.
I won't be intentionally obtuse, but I was under the impression that basically all large tech companies are incorporated offshore. We think of them as American certainly, but when it comes time to pay taxes, I get the feeling they don't exude patriotic enthusiasm to do so. I'm quite sure that they feel much more allegiance to shareholders wherever they might be in the world than they do for Americans as a group.
Yes good point. I was very introverted and OCD as a child. I had strange compulsive habits like counting right angles and picking at the crown of my head. Psychedelics and cannabis seem to have had an immediate positive effect in these areas, allowing me to relax, socialize while still performing academically. I certainly saw various peers using these substances and not doing so well. Cannabis especially helps me with these issues even in my forties. I take breaks (weeks or months) but the old ways seem to creep back in quickly. But I agree - I have no way of accessing my other selves in the multiverse to compare.

I wonder if you could specialise a model by training it on a whole movie or TV series, so that instead of hallucinating from generic images, the model generates things it has seen closer-up in other parts of the movie.

You'd have to train it to go from a reduced resolution to the original resolution, then apply that to small parts of the screen at the original resolution to get an enhanced resolution, then stitch the parts together.

If you're that concerned about it, go grab a raspberry pi and get cracking on your own compute environment. You don't actually need all the OS stuff as you keep arguing, so go make it so.

Of course you're ignoring the fact that linux is open source, so you can go make the OS do what you want it to - that's one path you could take.

Or you could just write code for the rpi and build up all that stuff yourself, no problem.

The only person stopping you from doing this is yourself.... go do it and show us the "no-os" way.
