IPv6 certainly has its own technically legitimate uses, absolutely. thanks for my next read! (curious how many things you discuss that i hadn't even considered.)
Let me ask a different question: is AI a threat to StackOverflow? Because if it is, it will be like a parasite killing the host it depends on.
none it seems, some users that just bought an iphone 2 days ago had the issue today in this thread
Remember the OP article is about a system that is designed to completely and directly circumvent protections.

If an organization puts a series of processes in place to prevent scrapers from wholesale taking data in violation of terms of service, and you develop a 5 server cluster of 200x 4G modems it's no longer "fair game" and you're directly being unethical in your use of someone else's services.
Because you fail to see the very obvious parallels to scraping. I’m not criticizing your business (I think you provide a valuable service) but your hypocritical stance on what forms of publicly available information are allowed to be gathered and repackaged.

Google’s original (and OpenAI’s) business model was also building a scraping infrastructure, system, and architecture, from scratch — and providing access to something that never existed in the first place.
This is why executives should be tossed in jail instead of a company being fined.
Housing is affordable in many cities where people don’t want to live, at least in the states. If everyone wants to live on the west coast though, is it even possible to just make housing more affordable on one place until everyone lives there? If not, it basically means you induce more demand with lower home prices, so you wind up trying to fit a hundred million people in a few big metros.

Lawmakers can’t magic up affordable housing, especially at the federal level. I get people have crazy ideas, but this is the craziest. We could do what Singapore or Austria does with a residency system, though, but progressives don’t like that either.
As someone who regularly shops at those sorts of places, there is a large part of the US population that ignores or is otherwise unaware of them, most of my family included. I've had multiple conversations where people have been shocked when informed that there's an Asian or Mexican market a short distance away that they had no idea existed.
I noticed there are a lot of "developer evangelists" etc on here, which are marketing-adjacent roles incentivized for networking... So its hard to have a list of people genuinely interested without ulterior motives
People are generally proposing all of at least (1) a name change, (2) a stop to the false claims and marketing and (3) better driver monitoring. Some people are proposing additional things, like (4) changing the way it reacts to corrections in order to not discourage active involvement, or (5) limiting the situations in which it can be enabled, or even (6) changing how it is turned on.
I've used ESPHome to:

Control my garage doors (thanks ratgdo!)
Control my front gate (already had gate controls, this just triggers open/close)
Control various appliances (ESPHome can be installed on "smart plugs")

I definitely have additional things I'd like to do, but I've a dearth of time.
What does it mean to judge a contributor? They're a faceless account, maybe a dog on the internet. Isn't the contribution the defining piece of work?

Maybe for growing your maintainer collection, with privileged access, but not contributions?
I think this is because we haven’t really seen it. Though there is a subset of the right wing that’s been saying exactly this is happening, to them in the context of Facebook and Twitter. I don’t recall seeing any convincing evidence though.
That mint mobile $15/month offering is only for the first 3 months, after which your rate doubles to $30/month, and after 40GB in a month you will be throttled.
Big swing? VR and AR have been around for a very long time. Apple is good at making things that already exist nicer. They aren't big risks at all, they are generally safe bets. Take something that's out there, put 3 years of design into it and act like you invented it.

Apple's miscalculation here was overestimating the market's price tolerance for a category whose prosumers have already explored for 1/3 Apple's price point.

If this had been 5 years ago at half the price, they'd own the category.
Yes, very different is part of less pragmatic IMHO.

It is very oriented to develop tooling of tooling of tooling and we all work with files nowadays, not wirh images.

I want to like Pharo, but that creates other frictions with tools such as Git (I know you can use Git, I tried, it is just not obvious how the workflow works).

Also, it has a full set of APIs for GUIs that noone knows in contemporany programming.

It is a pitty bc I really think it could really excel at interactive and live programming. However, when I drop Python there even if supposedly inferior, I can have my editor and iterate fast.

I can invent even some kind of hot reloading that works well enough. And the result (the pragmatic result!) is that overall it ends up working better for me.

I really want to like Pharo. I find it super cool. But... every time I use it I end up getting stuck. C FFI, I am not sure how to do it (my fault probably!), workflow is unobvious even if more powerful.

So I end up wanting to do some interactive stuff but I always get stuck.

Also, the software deployment with Pharo is weird. It looks weird. It should look like a regular app when I launch something, not like a marsian environment.
I really wish net installers were still popular. For a while, most distros offered a tiny install image, like a few hundred MB that contained just enough to bootstrap the installer to pull the real OS data from the internet (or other network source).

Sometimes I only have small USB2.0 flash drives. I can't fit a full-fat installer on there, and even if I could, my network connection is much faster anyway.

Hell, installers don't even do on-the-fly updates anymore. You install whatever stale packages are in your install media then go through the process of re-downloading and updating every package anyway.

An offline installer makes obvious sense, but in this modern age, an online installer is superior in every way.
It sure feels like 3D printing especially "desktop" has trouble improving recently, and is nowhere near democratized like classic printer, and its not entirely a hardware problem.

I was recently algebra-ing down a complex 3D algorithm to speed it up, and it seemed peculiar how so many things can be boiled down into to a crap-ton of dot products. One of the recurring mathematical themes of the universe, I guess.
> a high performance library or a database engine

> a server

Rust is a great tool for these. The focus on performance and reliability (versus fast iteration) is a perfect fit for these domains specifically.
Ask HN: Why is WhatsApp API so bad?
- Limited APIs (You can't read previous messages, you have to rely on the Webhook and pray you don't miss anything, you can't even use the same number on a smartphone as a backup or fallback)

- Limited flexibility

- Painful on-boarding experience

- Painful to use for pro-active Customer Support (Users have to initiate messages, you can't get back to them after 24 hours without using an automated template message)

It feels like they are actively sabotaging the potential of this service.

What am I missing? would love to hear from someone at Facebook.
I honestly doubt opening up the App Store will cause much of a hit. Maybe 5% of users will download another App Store.
Heh, mentioning metaprogramming and logging is not exactly how you convince anybody of superior ergonomics and usability.
There was an election eighteen years ago in 2006; Hamas won a plurality but not a majority. So most Palestinians didn't vote for them then, and since then none have. Most Palestinians alive today weren't old enough, or even alive, to have voted in 2006.

So you really can't call Hamas's rule democratic in any meaningful sense.
It breaks a law when you are legally required to authenticate. But when a random dude on the internet asks you, you're not required to do anything.
Have you tried a simple "No pretext or posttext, return the result in a code block"?
They volunteer to provide the data to us. Every single last one of them. Nowhere in our business model did we make the conscious decision to say "hey, look at that business, they have something, and I'm going to take it."
Does anyone else find the sentiment of this post a bit... gatekeep-y? The way I read it, the author discourages people from just going out and trying to contribute to a random project. The reason given is because you would be bad at it as you don't know anything. But then the author gives the example of maintaining an AUR package and they got it to work because they needed it. From my point of view both these paths lead to the same result, a person arrives at a project with objectives they don't have the skills to build. (Unless the argument is to only try to contribute when you have all the skills needed, and that is just straight up gatekeeping).

Edit: Spelling and typos
The nature of software allows and encourages firms to externalize the costs. Software is almost exclusively sunk cost to develop, reproducing it is virtually free, in the absence of state supported Intellectual Property regimes.
Yes they would leave something like 1/3 to 1/5 of the global revenue, sure that sounds brilliant.
I wasn’t trying to use it in a derogatory way. It just happens to be where most of the revenue goes.

A federal solution is the only solution that has any chance of working. But I don’t see it as working without restrictions on migration, like a residency system of some kind. Not everyone gets to live in affordable Santa Barbara housing, obviously, some people have to live in Toledo or even Gary. Anything that isn’t market must be restricted in some way, even the USSR didn’t let everyone live in Moscow even though most wanted to.
I built a CO2 sensor that activates a fan in my office room to pull in fresh air if the CO2 levels go above 700ppm
I think it's generally insulting to your audience to write with an LLM. If you don't care about what you're saying, why should someone care to read it? I hope the advent of automated writing will lead to reforms in the way research is presented, with less focus on boilerplate or other stuff nobody cares about (societal impact statements some conferences force on us).

For grant applications, I agree it's a great tool because they're rife with bureaucratic crap that nobody really needs to read or write. In time, again hopefully the system will be reformed to not waste time asking for stuff an LLM could generate.
See for example Chomsky’s[1] anarchism.[2]

Authority/hierarchy are interchangeable in this context.

I'm just starting a project with some other people at my local maker space to add an ESPHome monitor for our industrial air compressor to monitor leak down on the various main lines going to areas of the shop and to monitor the compressor working time for maintenance checks and such. The end result will get open sourced, hopefully along with a nice DIN mount to also be used in CNC controller enclosures and the like.

No blinking neon text that could send a blind man into an uncontrolled violent seizure?
Exactly. That's what I also thought the last time someone brought this up in these forums (couple of years ago). It's a hint to the structure of the brain and also the mind (we can observe it at the consciousness level in ourselves and others, too). Algorithmic (von Neumann) computers/programs do not usually exhibit this; but neural networks do.

If we are good readers, a book helps up achieve better generalization (in the machine learning sense). That's its main contribution not the specific facts it contained.
I’ve been a recent convert to the iPhone. It gives me a unique perspective since I’ve spent almost my entire life in the Android ecosystem.

I first bought an iPhone 5c on a whim, which is well out of support by apple, 5 versions behind the modern iOS. If you turn it on, all the default Apple apps work, in 2024.

You can stream Apple Music and download podcasts with no App Store whatsoever. It’s a powerful little device, more then ten years later.

Compare this to the Android system, where google has wholesale deprecated their podcasts app. You’ll have to find a 3rd party one if you want to access that functionality.

The point I’m trying to make is that for Joe Consumer, everything on an iPhone just works. Modification isn’t even something they consider doing.

In the end, Epic and Spotify get a fat 30% boost in revenue and nobody notices anything different.

That area of Toronto has a huge Chinese diaspora. I have many memories of trekking to Pacific Mall (also mentioned in the blog post) on public transit with my anime-watching friends in highschool to buy pirated DVDs and other merch. A nearby Walmart has bilingual English - Chinese signs inside.
That is true. Rust's async/await desugaring is still missing optimizations. I think that will be ironed out eventually. What mainly concerns me about async/await is that, even with Rust's best efforts, the baseline complexity will probably always be somewhat higher than for sync code. I will be pleased if the gap is minimized and people only need to reach for async when they want to. Right now, the latter isn't the case because of the "virality [of] function coloring".

I think the 70's gas rationing in the US was another example of where price controls absolutely stomped on consumers.

I'm not sure if there are any examples to the contrary, but there are surely people who benefit as, say, 'winning' a rent controlled apartment (but I wouldn't necessarily consider that those people were ever actually consumers in the market to begin with).
Especially considering how these big tech companies seem obsessed with gobbling up communication, and seem to want all of their users communication to go through them.

Sure, Apple makes grandiose statements about its security and privacy. But they are protecting you from others. Apple has the keys to the kingdom and if they want they can just silently push a targeted software update to your device.

They can make your phone send messages you never typed. They can make your phone show you things that never happened. They could trivially influence an election, and it doesn't even take the entire org being in on it.
No, this isn't an operating system problem, this is just how Bluetooth is.
Isn't NetBSD the one people install on toasters for bragging rights, and FreeBSD is the one people actually use? Anyway, Linux has better support for both hardware and software.

The thing that really bugs me about Google is you can make an account tied to an unrelated domain, but then they don't let you use that for a lot of things, so you're forced into a gmail account.

[1] says "AMD 5850U beats Apple M1 in multicore performance by 29% having the same power consumption (15 Watt)", "Nothing came even remotely close to that" sounds like an exaggeration if that was to be believed.

I don't know whether you like that aesthetics of those laptops or whether the price fits in your budget or not, but I kind of feel that getting 3 or 4 hours of battery is price you pay for falling for way too thin flashy white brushed aluminum stuffs. Hardcore roadwarriors like ThinkPad X1 Nano users seem to be reporting 7-10 hours new for their machines.

I'm not saying that I think M-series CPUs are all fad - every datapoints available suggest it's just -fine- , I'm just saying they're probably not like decades ahead of everything else.

I want to build a house-positioning system, but time, energy, and skill are lacking.

My wife, who has pretty extreme ADD, loses stuff like her wallet, keys, etc. We have Tiles on most stuff that gets lost, but sometimes the volume of the alert is lacking. I'd like something that uses multiple ESP32 or Pi receivers in known locations to triangulate the position of the bluetooth beacon in 3D space.

It's probably a bad idea, there might not be accurate enough timings or data to pinpoint the location. I've read somewhere that UWB will be much better at this.

EDIT: Another project idea: Sensor Light Switches. Would add sensors like occupancy, noise, pressure, temp, etc etc to the standard light switch plate/box. Then have that lovely data slurped up by something pretty to display it all.
Well done looks great
Strange that it doesn’t include some random bytes so the same report can’t be submitted many times. Does it just assume the base memory address is random enough?
For those that actually want a SaaS type tool for this and don’t want to use Jotform, which is utterly horrible, I recommend Fillout, which has been a joy to use and is seamlessly integrated with a bunch of services like AirTable and Dropbox and so on.

Even if you do want to eventually build your own it’s ridiculously fast as a prototyping tool, can pre-fetch data and use conditional logic and accept URL parameters and all that out of the box.
Yeah, Rust's async/await and lightweight threads are functionally very similar. Function coloring is a problem with async/awaitt, though (for now?).
Let's just say that the government decided in the year 2005 that no private company can ship something that will replace SMS as the defacto messaging system because it wants interoperability.

We would have never had iMessage, Whatsapp, Messenger, etc. Other countries would have far surpassed us in messaging communication tech.

Regulations are a double edged sword.

Oh no, this is truly a valuable (though somewhat niche) open source project, too.
An interface that changes because of the implementation is not really an interface.

I can change from ext2 to btrfs and my program won't die because open and read are a good interface.
I setup an LED strip with an ESP8266 and ESPHome for my 3d printer enclosure. I recently took it apart and integrated it into my 3d printer itself, but planning to set it up again to light my figure collection instead.

I also built a set of inertial full body trackers for VR usage with them. Although they could use some redesigning, probably with lower power MCUs, current ones are a bit too large for my liking.
Oh we absolutely could, we could have done it with 1960s technology in fact:

100% agree. I am amazed how Rust is constantly touted as a general purpose programming language. In theory that's true, but in practice it only makes sense for projects where you would otherwise reach for C++.
I find this a strange perspective. There are many tech ideas which have barely even started. Quantum computing, space travel, DNA modification, climate control, to name a few. These will all affect a lot of humans in the future, unless we mess something up.

Or perhaps I am misunderstanding your comment, and you focus more on the media and communication part of tech?
Some TVs make good monitors, but not all.

The major thing you have to look out for it Chroma Subsampling[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroma_subsampling] - basically many TVs use a lossy colour compression to pack higher resolutions/refreshrates over the same cable. It's not normally noticeable during content like movies, but if you have a lot of fine details (i.e. text) it can cause noticeable colour fringing.

Some TVs (mostly OLEDS) also have unusual sub-pixel layouts, and this reportedly can cause issues with various subpixel rendering schemes for text (once again manifesting as colour fringing). OLEDs also have various measure to counter burn-in that may be annoying on a monitor, like dropping the brightness after a few minutes of innactivity, or shifting the whole image by a few pixels now and again.

> “iMessage on Android would simply serve to remove an obstacle to iPhone families giving their kids Android phones.”

This statement says a few extra things that Craig Federighi probably didn't realize he was saying.

1) It suggests that the iPhone wouldn't be able to hold its own in a market where interoperability with Android was easier. That demonstrates a lack of faith in it.

2) I've noticed that any time a corporation starts to clutch its fingers around its flagship product and make it less open, it starts to die. Oh sure, there's an upfront benefit perhaps in sales, but you're literally selling the future of your thing to profit from it today, by doing this.
I used an ESP8266 to build an air conditioning "remote" that I can control with my Home Assistant setup. I was pretty surprised when I moved and it still worked at the new apartment.

I also bought some LED matrix displays that I'm going to use to display information about when trains are due at my nearby station.

Yes. The Harmony Cart and the UnoCart/PlusCart both have ARM chips. Games have been made that make full use of the chip. Probably the most impressive IMO being Robotron from ChampGames.

The PlusCart also includes a WiFi chip for Internet access.
