INR 1800 is about $22 USD? Wow, that's incredibly cheap for wifi, phone, and Netflix.

I pay about $80 for wifi, $50 for phone, and $20 for Netflix. That's about INR 12,500.

International pricing is always fascinating to me. Wonder if Kagi will offer regional pricing.
Matter of taste to some extent I suppose. I've worked with the Python C API, it's not pretty but not too bad. I could see adding a tool to get something up and running quickly would be useful in some cases, but it strikes me that this is a really high quality core product, adding a new language has got to have risks, I'd reckon it would be worth doing the binding manually (and it only has to be done the once).
Why do you consider weed to be a drug and not alcohol? Alcohol can be far more damaging both to the person and those around them. Hell, caffeine probably fucks up your system more than weed too.

So why are they not considered drugs? Is it because of literally the comment you responded to?

> these issues should be addressed in the OS in order to protect all Android users regardless of which apps they use.

Android's paranoid networking has always had an exception for System and OEM apps (which include Google apps). Most such bugs fixes are unlikely to fix that core assumption. Some code refs: https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app/issues/224

> The leak during tunnel reconnects is harder for us to mitigate in our app. We are still looking for solutions.

Android supports seamless handover between two TUN devices (on reconfiguration). It is tricky to get it right, but implementable.
Exactly. Musk's antics are an ethical and sanity concern, not a financial one. And Wall Street loves lay offs.
1. I want the people who built and own corporations to be able to decide what they pay their staff. If the Delaware judge wants to decide what Tesla employees get paid, she can do - but she needs to own enough of the company to have that decision-making power.

2. That's not what I said. I just said that we need to wait until all the facts and strategy emerges, rather than going on a few statements by individuals who are not (or no longer) involved in Tesla

3. Yes, as confirmed by Musk in the earnings call.

4. It used to be. It's not any more, because it's open to all carmakers, as I said

5. Well financed maybe. Fisker, Nikola, Rivian etc - they all got surprising amounts of financing. That doesn't mean they've displaced Tesla, or come anywhere near displacing Tesla. I'd advise you to read the news about Tesla competitors, both legacy and new - look how many BEVs they're shipping vs Tesla, and look at their margins on each vehicle sold. I think you might be surprised at how far Tesla leads the field

6. I gave the carbon-wrapped motor as an example of Tesla innovations. It's one of many. The refreshed Model 3 is also an example of how Tesla is improving products. You claimed Tesla is "failing" to improve products. There are many counterexamples that refute that statement

7. X bled advertisers yes. But it's still a great social network, and that's all I care about. Elon didn't buy Twitter in order to make money. He bought it because the West needs a platform that prioritises free speech (as far as legally possible). X.com is imperfect but it's an improvement on Twitter. I don't care if it's "downgraded by banks." The whole point of Elon owning Twitter is that it no longer serves the interests of a few powerful people and institutions, and instead is an inclusive platform for people across the political spectrum.

8. Musk co-founded OpenAI. If he was "minimally involved" he wouldn't be listed as a co-founder. PayPal used to be called "X.com" Guess who owned that domain name? It was renamed to "PayPal" when Elon was ousted from the management structure. I'd recommend reading up on the history here. It's very interesting - lots of twists and turns.
I miss working in robotics, in part due to this. Also implenting a complex path algorithm is so much more rewarding than moving data around. The field testing trips were the cherry on top.
> Depending on your threat model this might mean that you should avoid using Android altogether for anything sensitive, or employ other mitigations to prevent the leaks. We aim to partially mitigate these problems in our app, so make sure to keep the app up-to-date."

This statement clearly implies this is the reason that Android is currently not safe.
I use a (self hosted) vpn for privacy from public wifi operators, not for privacy from the servers I'm connecting to.
I once would have thought Americans would never go for something like this, but with the levels of crying wolf around voting, a finger mark as a tangible mark to stop double voting seems quite logical and something that everyone can understand and enforce.

Eg I could quietly check the people standing in line with me as we line up, as could each official more explicitly ask to show your finger on the way in, and there’s no benefit to faking a mark.
With most vaccine mandates the cost is usually very low cost or even free.

I wonder if we wouldn't get better compliance by forgetting the mandate and charging a significant price for the vaccine.
I always find it odd when I see how hard modern languages move away from mnemonic style. And I share what I feel is your amusement that some people think there is a universal guessability to some symbolic terms. It is all learned, and it is convenient when it leverages other learning. There is nothing really universal, though. As much as that would be convenient.
Just changing your IP address is far from the only reason to use a VPN. Personally, I'd consider it more of a secondary effect. If you're on an untrusted network, it lets you pipe your data out to another location. I'm not sure what the point of your comment is, since it doesn't apply to the information in the shared post.
Everyone is really attached to having the AI equivalent of the "iPhone Moment", but I think we already had it. It was just spread out over multiple products, from multiple companies, over the past few years.

There's obviously still enthusiasm for machine learning things, but you've definitely lost the "wow" factor for most people. Better to actually build the iPhone 3GS first, as it were.
Weird that you think so highly of free thought, when your goal is to replace all cultures with one thought.
Possible, but unlikely today. I think the advice being converged on is not to let the possibility of 100% enjoyment ruin one's actual, real-life situation. Attain it if you can, but don't spend your life rueing its absence.
this is a good article with a bad headline. The headline is going to cause a big long thread here about "globalization == bad". The actual article though doesn't really point to globalization as a failure, only that there's a lot of other compounding factors, in particular continuing wealth inequality, environmental collapse, and the opposition of authoritarian nations like Iran, Russia and China, that are continuing to drive global polarization.
This entire thread is full of “well for me…”. So I added mine. It’s obvious this is purely anecdotal for everyone.
It often does not. I'd check your policy before doing DIY electrical work.
I wouldn't say "very" for me but it's definitely not as smooth as your average webpage. This is pretty edge casey use of HTML / CSS though, it's not surprising that browsers wouldn't optimize for it since this is more of a stunt than the best way to achieve this output.
The global economic system has nothing to do with tolerance of abortion, homosexuality, etc...
Ray: Unified framework for scaling AI and Python applications
This article is like going to the principals office and telling them that Barb the lunch lady dropped an extra tater tot on your tray and didn’t remove it.

Geofencing is a dark pattern. It’s obviously possible, it just adds cost and complexity and controls that have zero value to the end user.
NIST Drafts New Security Framework to Tackle Emerging Risks of Generative AI
Not in all cases, contracts, and jurisdictions.

For example, DIYing electrical work in Australia is illegal. https://www.electricalsafety.qld.gov.au/electrical-safety-ho...

> Not only is it breaking the law, but you could also jeopardise your insurance!

> Changing powerpoints or light switches might seem simple, but unless you are trained and qualified, there are lots of risks you just won’t know about. Never attempt to do your own electrical work – you could kill or injure yourself or your family, or start a fire. Always use a licensed electrician.
Just because it has been pushed by RedHat and others are semi-forced to adapt, it doesn't mean all distros got in line to get a copy of the software and get it adopted.

Pulse has been replaced with the pipewire as soon as it arrived, for example.
The purpose of the Light Phone is to detach oneself from the unnecessary, time-consuming features of smartphones. There are approaches to this that are simply apps, and they are popular, but there is a genuine benefit to the approach a Light Phone takes which uses separate hardware to completely wall the user off, which app implementations can't do. And the standard phone manufacturers won't make the Light Phone obsolete by incorporating that feature, because it directly contradicts their business models.

With the R1, the point is to have an LLM powered AI assistant. Absolutely nothing about the product is enhanced by doing it as a separate device rather than an application. The design is eye catching, but comes at the price of several hundred dollars and requires you to carry two devices around. The second Apple or Google implements this functionality on their phones, this thing is dead. And I guarantee you they are working on this as we speak, and it will be available within 1-2 years natively on iPhones/Android.
> This statement clearly implies this is the reason that Android is currently not safe.

I don't see the clear implication, and I don't see the point of going into a deep dive on all the risks in every press release.
Private Preview – Bitcoin Floating Rate Notes
I never understand this argument. If feels like saying there is no reason to wear just a helmet in outer space because you'll die without a space suit anyway. Yes, there are other methods of fingerprinting that can track your with varying degrees of accuracy that you should be aware of. But IP still remains a highly effective one. And just like the space helmet, it isn't an either or. You'll have to wear both the suit and the helmet.
I think this was meant in reply to the other person, not me?
What a beautiful post
Move some (but not all) memory on package? NUMA is not easy but it's an option.
This ignores the fact that societal norms affect your ability to live your life.

As an extreme example, imagine trying to find a stable husband and raise a family in a world in which every other woman treated sex as being valueless and beautiful women wandered the streets naked and giving it up to passers by.

It might be intolerant to prefer a society that isn't like that, but that doesn't automatically make it bad.

edit: Most of the responses here are missing the point because they're trying to take a side (in a deliberately fake, over the top scenario) rather than engaging with the concept. The behaviour of other people affects you and it's perfectly normal both to want to surround yourself with others who share your values, and to exert pressure to push wider society in that direction.
I feel this so much. Woodworking, gardening, anything outdoors and with your hands
While "children must be seen, not heard" of ye olde days is probably too strict for parents of today, I do think there is value in childhood obedience. Namely, it nurtures and grows discipline; and a lot of that simply can't be taught properly without starting from a very young age because that's when moral compasses are molded.

You're always going to be under someone in life and life is never going to go perfectly your way. What separates those who succeed from those who fail is whether you know how to handle it, which childhood obedience will teach you.
We are entitled to a roof and food and it’s a tragedy that some people don’t have those things.

You’re not being empathetic by saying the opposite, you’re giving assholes with power an excuse to take those things away or make it harder to provide them to people.

I don’t understand why you’d say we’re being forced to have food and shelter, that makes no sense. We need food and shelter, which is why employment isn’t voluntary.
..and bigs cats are waiting to eat the winner rat.
Every single time they have tried at anything social, it’s been an abject failure. They are not a “services” company outside of upsells from their own customer base.
> Then, a Slack message popped up. He suddenly had a deadline to deliver a project by 6 a.m. on Monday.

Why don't people feel empowered to say no to this sort of thing? Is the market for engineers so bad that we have to tolerate these things out of fear?
Perhaps you could then ahem enlighten American lawmakers who passed FOSTA/SESTA in the US, which effectively criminalizes prostitution and has lead to many sex workers losing their livelihoods.
The argument was that capitalistic success was thought to be linked to having an open democratic society, perhaps because of the great economic success West Germany and Japan had in the postwar decades after becoming democracies. But China and Russia have shown that you can have relative economic success without openness or democracy.
I believe back then you could only get orienteering maps from the military too.
Thanks for your valuable input.
That sounds like a problem with Windows that should be fixed in Windows. Adding a browser API for such narrow user cases is unnecessary.

Even better Windows drivers should be signed as they are supposed to be,
I just dont see why this is so hard.

Every terminal needs access to the sky for it to communicate to the satelites.
Therefore it has access to GPS satellites too.
SpaceX satellites shouldnt allow a credential handshake without an encrypted GPS position which it checks against its geofencing database.

What am I missing?
Short-term, perhaps, but overall the cost of replacing a dead soldier is higher (like 15 years of schooling and parenting and all the other costs). A wounded soldier might be back on the battlefield half a year later.
Maybe they could be more forceful about it, but I feel like Mullvad is reasonably responsible about this (certainly more so than most VPN vendors), with their front page describing a VPN as "step 1" and directly saying that "a VPN is not enough for privacy".

I think conventional wisdom is "zone 2 for fitness / endurance, zone 3+ for performance." The interesting thing about this meta-analysis is it's discussing "baseline cardiorespiratory fitness" which - as I understand it - does correlate with vo2max.

As I understand it you can increase vo2max with exactly the type of training you are describing. Long efforts at zone2 can improve vo2 max, but the best improvements involve training at higher zones.

I certainly remember all the stories / headlines "walking is as good as running for cardiovascular health" etc which support the "just train zone 2" approach, but this study seems to me (a layperson) to contradict that.

Can anybody who is more versed in the research chime in? Does this study suggest that HIIT could reduce all cause mortality by improving vo2 max which improves baseline CRF (which is the value this the meta-analysis actually examined)?
Unfortunately all the supposed great value of the West were bytrailed be govs (i.e. in EU).
Assange is still in jail for exposing Crimes, America gov is still fighting random wars around the globe, EU is dictating stupid rules to members countries bypassing parlaments (let's talks about cookies warnings on EU websites, or digital acts to censor socialnets, or evev not able to go to work without the nazipass a few years ago), Israel is free to bomb civilians protected by US, LGBTQ propaganda riched an imbarassig level on Walt Disney and netflix and now is getting the opposite reactions by people.
But feel free to tell yourself is a matter of money
Diverging to this madness seems the least.
No, it tells you that this issue warrants a reevaluation of your Android usage based on your threat model.
I'd say increasing economic inequality is the main driver. With inequality, the actual, not just presented, reality is different.

Income inequality correlates with polarization of values, and it's been on the rise for a long time. And wealth inequality is a lot worse.

Yea, that would get a hard “No.” from me. Or at least a “Sorry, but that deadline is not going to be attainable.”
Open-Source Fault Tree Analysis (OSFTA)

Why does Gates give away so much money? Because the money itself makes no difference to his life any more.

Why do people leak documents? Because they think other people's secrets should be public information.

Why do we create ownership rights over information, such as patents and copyright, in the first place? To incentivise people to make more of those things. Why are these rights time-limited? Because nobody can, with a straight face, continue to claim they need any greater incentives than they already have.

Why go governments have Eminent Domain? Because the best interest of the people (or the nation) isn't the same as the best interest of the existing owners.

Why did the October Revolution and the Cuban Revolution happen? Because enough of the right people in the right place at the right time, decided that the old system of combined ruling-and-owning was bad.
Generally AI engineers are hugely compensated, compared to overall massively compensated IT folks. In such such cases I struggle to find much sympathy, in same vein when some wall street guy complains about burnout while driving some V12 Ferrari from some old paintings auction.

There is always the option to just quit and ask for maybe 50% more at next company struggling desperately with same stuff.
I’m not the op of this proposal, I never said it was a good idea (neither that it’s bad, I just don’t know). I just said that IF it was a good idea, it would cost less overall.
The bad thing is that short sighted and mentally limited persons still think about themselves as brilliant geniuses. That’s why you have complex electrician’s certification with theoretical and practical parts in Germany to sort out these brilliant geniuses.

Edit: my buddy is ex-googler. IQ is twice his weight. I wouldn’t trust him any electrical cable. He can work on ground breaking theories, but breaks everything what he touches with his hands.

A large part of that is the rise of islamism in the muslim world.

It would be nice if they could address this:

But not far down the road they'll become much better than humans

While I think you're correct, there is no proof this will ever be achieved.

It very well may not be possible along our current path. It may take a 100 years, 1000 to get there.

And yes it could take only 20 more. But to state this as a certainty?

No.
I imagine the author has baked in that people who don't use feeds won't use a blog that requires it be read as a feed.
"No pre-push linter" is the hill I'll die on.
Dunno if Russia is more corrupt than the US. AIPAC's lobbyism is straight-up corruption to me: they pay millions per year to politicians: how to call this if not corruption? Highly anti-democratic (money buys policy). And that's just one lobby group (albeit a big one).

I think Israel created Hamas (as it created the PLO) and it made it a dangerous group by continuously hurting the Palestinians. Backlash was expected.
Any device on the Internet is fingerprinted to such a level that it can be identified anywhere even if you upgrade or change the OS or browser. The only way to avoid this is to turn off Javascript and related technologies entirely and browse through Tor or some other like utility.
In an era increasingly dominated by software and hardware integrations, ensuring the safety and reliability of these systems is paramount. This project, inspired by Chris Hobbs's seminal work, "Embedded Software Development for Safety-Critical Systems," aims to address a significant gap in the availability of robust, open-source Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) tools. Despite the critical role of FTA in assessing system vulnerabilities and predicting failure points, the lack of accessible tools has pushed many towards expensive commercial solutions. Our project, the Open-Source Fault Tree Analysis (OSFTA) tool, is designed to provide a user-friendly, cross-platform solution that separates the calculation engine from the visual interface, thereby simplifying the integration into developers' workflows and enhancing the reliability testing of safety-critical systems.
Show HN: Paramount is an OSS package that captures expert feedback on LLM chats
Hey HN, Hakim here from Fini (YC S22). We've seen first hand how AI chat projects pan out, and so have released an OSS library to ensure the industry gets more tools for improving outcomes.

Many AI chat projects are scrapped due to persistent inaccuracies in LLM responses. Paramount is an open-source Python package designed to bridge the gap between LLM-generated and ideal responses by incorporating expert feedback directly into the evaluation process. It provides a robust framework for recording LLM function outputs (ground truth data) and facilitates agent evaluations, reducing the time to identify and correct errors.

Developers can integrate Paramount with a decorator that logs LLM interactions into a CSV or database, followed by a straightforward UI for expert review. This process accelerates the debugging and validation phase of your project and de-risks your launch.
> Also, if that small farm is something you dream about, I strongly suggest actually working on a farm for a while.

I've both done that, and I sit in an office chair 8 hours a day. Anyone who prefers the latter has a different set of maladaptive personality defects than I do.

> This is likely not an answer. Small-scale sustenance farming is not enough to support humanity at scale.

It's ok. No one really needs to think about that anymore. When fertility rates went sub-replacement, humanity became functionally extinct, at least in those regions. Everyone's planning a future for their species which it no longer has.

> I know "I'm gonna have a farm" is a popular escapist things for many folks in tech - it is for me as well, the fantasy is great

Not a fantasy. I'm a few weeks/months away from buying a combine. I have a particular model in mind (John Deere model 42), but the used market is a little difficult to deal with. I may end up paying a few thousand to have it shipped from out of state (or even Canada), but no one can tell me if it's narrow enough to fit on a flatbed trailer.

I have less of a clear idea about what tractor to pull it with, I really need something up around 100hp, something gen ii probably. A 4230 with a cab sounds nice, but it's like 9 gallons of diesel an hour. I'd grow sunflowers for the fuel, and I'm experimenting with a chloralkali machine for the soda lye (there are places not far away with salt springs, so I'm looking for real estate like that for salt). Currently assembling a larger machine I've got half-designed. Would use butanol instead of methanol.

Not sure I could survive in a place where all I can do and hope for is "a balcony with some houseplants". Sounds soul-crushing.
