Finnish is not so different dispute having different lineages. Even if we talk about morphology, sometimes it's simply that e.g. prepositions are affixed to the end of a word big whoop. There are many dimensions to language vairation. Finnish has a long history of contact with Scandi languages and a lot of borrowed words and logic. It would be good to have Estonian and possibly Baltic languages too.

ETA: It is differentof course just perhaps not as much as people sometimes try to say. You can definitely ruffle some feathers with this one given the uniqueness of Finnish is pretty central to Finnish nationalism.
>3. If some of those jets from other galaxies are pointed at earth and contain physical particles with mass near the speed of light, why don't they do measurable damage?

When they hit Earth (from these kinds of jets and other sources) they're cosmic rays. But it isn't a whole beam of them, it's individual particles way up near light speed. We can detect them, they can flip bits in computer memory, but they don't do a lot of damage because even at their speeds, a single proton, electron, or two or more protons as a bare nucleus still doesn't have a particularly large amount of energy on a human scale.

I agree most people don't know about Home Assistant and open ecosystem alternatives yet. I think right now most people are just wary of these Google, Amazon, Samsung, Apple (GASA) offerings and aren't adopting anything at scale beyond a few point-to-point automations.

I think (hope?) this growing wariness will deflate GASA attempts to turn proprietary home automation hubs into ongoing revenue streams. Then GASA will eventually give up on home automation when it doesn't deliver the growth metrics they want. Let's face it, none of GASA can ever be trusted as the central gatekeeper in any ecosystem they want to own for downstream monetization (whether that's ads, subscription or selling customer data).

By adopting the open Matter protocol, GASA has already given up making the inpoint and outpoint hardware proprietary (sensors, switches, plugs, etc). Instead, with Matter they're intentionally commoditizing that low-margin end of the business for Shenzen's-finest to fight over. BTW, the Matter protocol is net positive for the open ecosystem because it creates more inpoints and outpoints that are Home Assistant compatible. With the other commercial players now commoditized, GASA's goal is to just be the central cloud gatekeeper and they're content to fight each other over it. Except Home Assistant exists, is already big and is gaining even more momentum.

To be clear, I have no illusion that Home Assistant will somehow "Win" over GASA offerings. Open source platforms don't "beat" proprietary platforms in head-to-head consumer market battles, they outlive them as the only stable, sane choice still standing. I think GASA will fight each other to a standstill, preventing any one of them from gaining the dominance or lock-in they need for home automation to be a GASA-scale 'platform pillar'. Eventually they'll realize it's not strategically "core" enough, give up and move on - leaving Home Assistant as the free, open "still-works, always-worked" default central gateway.

Good value for what? They have never been good value as desktops because the early ones were too slow. Now there are better little computers.

But as hobby computer, they are still a good value. There are faster boards and cheaper boards, but which ones are good? More importantly, which ones will be supported in five years? How easy it to install software? I read about distro that promises support, but then have to check the list of hardware it supports.

Technologically superior tribes always needed land. Their technology was advanced, but not in a way in which land is rendered useless, i.e. land price equals to zero.

Two reasons mainly for land price not equating to zero. First: buildings could not be extended upwards. Second: chloroplasts could not be produced just with air and sun.

These two problems will be solved in less than 10 years both. Land price worldwide will collapse to zero, or near zero. Buildings will be built using a flexible material, very strong and lightweight, i.e. graphene. Food will be produced using genetically modified spirulina, alongside with pharmaceutical substances and narcotics.

The day it takes less time to edit AI text output to not read like soulless corporate ad copy that has been approved by multiple committees than it does to write it myself, it will have lived up to the hype.

I suspect that since it is now feeding on its own output ouroboros-style future iterations will make corporate memphis look like radical outsider art.

AI-generated text is extremely accomplished at making me think the author lives in an empty echoey home consisting of bare white walls sparsely decorated with off-white furniture and cream accent rugs and that their mind is similarly stimulating.

In general people should ask themselves do they really want a semi-intelligent program someone else trained "living" in their phone. Yikes. I tried to uninstall the neural network package on my Android but it is impossible since it is an actual system package. Why on earth it should be an Android system package is beyond me.

I really liked the N64, but if we're being charitable it's probably like 30-40 games. For any given console, even those that achieve legendary status, the game quality follows a Pareto distribution, 80% is crap, 20% is worth playing after the console has left the public mind.
> If you effectively cover all possible settlements 24/7/365 you'll fail quickly pushing nearly empty or even totally empty mass transports most of the days for most of the routes.

But... You don't need to do this? There's no way to cover every settlement 24/7/365 but you can balance a schedule based on the most likely hours of usage, even if keeping occupation low, and for the extremely edge cases where there'd be virtually no ridership you don't need to provide the same availability. It still makes the system very, very useful for the vast majority of the time while the gaps can be covered by other modes of transportation such as taxis, that would still be cheaper than purchasing and maintaining a car.

Adding to the sibling comment to mine, I will give you my personal example which I think covers a few of these points:

- Living 15-20km away from the city centre, in a suburb of about 13k people on an area of around 2,35km2

- Bus service connects to nearby suburbs via local routes
- Scheduled every 10-15 min between 06:00-21:00, every 20 min from 21:00-00:00, every 30 min from 00:00-06:00

- Bus service via express routes connects to more distant suburbs (about 8-10km) including a major hospital
- Scheduled every 10 min between 06:00-20:00, every 20 min between 20:00-22:00, every 30 min between 22:00-06:00

- Metro connects to the city centre, travel time in train of about 30-35 min
- Scheduled every 15 min between 04:30-06:00, every 10 min between 06:00-08:00, every 7 min between 08:00-11:00, every 10 min between 11:00-15:00, every 7 min between 15:00-20:00, every 10 min between 20:00-22:00, every 15 min between 22:00-00:00. Weekends it runs overnight from 00:00-04:30 every 30 min.

- All houses in the area have access to the metro in 15 min or less walking.
- All houses have access to the metro through a bus connection in 7 min or less.

The odd times I need to come home back from the city centre when there's no metro running (weekdays after midnight) I hail a cab and spend on fares what would be about 1/4 of a petrol tank to get home.

Having a car has no benefits to me given the cost for purchase, maintenance, insurance, winter tyres, parking, fuel, etc.
I absolutely love my Lauf with their weird suspension front fork. Bike is super comfortable to ride. Also has plenty of width room for wider tires. I run WTB Nano 40c, which are a great mix for road/gravel.
Simulation games are games. It's listed in the "Games->Simulation Games" subdirectory even. So clearly most of the world thinks you are wrong.
I think what they meant is that at runtime, you don't end up with objects that look something like:

{
"brand": "Hash",
"value": "..."
}

which would be the case if you used the more obvious wrapper route. Using this branding approach, the branded values are exactly the same at runtime as they would be if they weren't branded.
Funnily enough, I think Windows might just be it.

Wine (+ Steam's Proton) works incredibly well these days, a huge improvement from the old days when barely anything ran, and what did run required heavy tweaking or even custom compilation.

On Linux, my Steam library of about 300 games runs almost in its entirety without issues (except for Last Epoch).

>It turns out that wider MTB tires are both faster (when it comes to rolling resistance) and way more comfortable and safer than gravel tires even on tarmac, let alone any kind of terrain.

...except when you are going fast. But I do agree that honestly, full on XC MTB are better than any gravel bike for mixed terrain. Modern race XC bikes are not only lightweight, but have enough suspension travel front and rear to tackle super rough trails, which means you don't have to rely on tire pressure for compliance (although QC on the carbon frames is questionable even from the bigger brands).

That being said, when it comes to road, ultimately, aero bikes are still king for efficiency if you are least moderately fit.
Lauf owner here (with the weirdo front fork). Absolutely love it!
As others have said, types don't necessarily exist at runtime. Types allow reasoning about the program source without executing it. Java is more the exception than the rule here; conventionally compiled languages such as C don't usually have types at runtime.
An AI-based app and database of business ideas to address real-world problems
Hello everyone. I work as a researcher for startups and other companies, and I know how many people struggle to come up with new business ideas. I believe there are still many problems to tackle; we just need to look closer.

So, to help everyone interested in starting a company (and also expand my coding skills and understand how to use generative AI), I built Big Startup Ideas, a database of business ideas for real-world problems. The backend AI-based app uses real-world data (economic, market, and consumer behavior coming from online sources) to generate the business ideas.

This is it: https://bigstartupideas.com

It took some time to develop and improve data gathering, but it is still quite basic (it was mostly the learning curve). The app is a gpt wrapper in part, but it has its own set of rules to identify problems and produce ideas more systematically.

The database is free to browse, and there is an ebook with a curated set of ideas for just a few bucks. But it's still a side project.

I appreciate your comments and hope you find at least one idea that inspires you!
120 days for a single dev to reach MVP on a complex project sounds pretty fast to me.
That's fair. I thought it was a lot closer to Jobs and was attributing that more to him, but it seems there was about 5 years between Jobs' death and the Watch, so it probably was mostly Cook leading that charge.

Not to diminish that though, but the Watch is again another product of Cook and it's so obvious. It's been the same product for years and years and years. Sure, getting a little more refined, but there is no risk being taken at Apple and "innovation" only comes when proceeding by resounding failure and outcry from their most loyal customers (butterfly keyboards/no ports/mac pro/etc).

The saving grace of the iPhone is that it's been a guaranteed refresh every single year that customers can always be led by the nose that maybe they didn't like this year's version, but there's always next year!

The article continues with:

> If a common motion associated with theft is detected, your phone screen quickly locks – which helps keep thieves from easily accessing your data.

So it's probably a machine learning model that was trained on motion data of snatches, but it's likely not AI in the sense of LLMs.

But I wonder how many false positives this could yield. For example you are in a hurry and you snatch your phone from a table. How precicesly can this model decide with just motion data, if this was theft or not.

In a nutshell, because it can. Synthesizers were still something of a novelty in the '80s, so it would have been difficult to create the deep, complex bass sounds we now take for granted. Furthermore, subwoofers were not at all common; even if someone had made such music, it would have sounded like crap on the car stereos, boom boxes, and home hi-fis people actually used at the time.

Subwoofers became increasingly popular through the '90s along with the rise of hip-hop music pushing ever-harder bass, synthesizer technology developed along with the increasing power of computers, and by the 2000s music producers had a new corner of the sonic palette to play with. New genres followed suit.
Apparently the IRB approval was for up to 1 cubic cm, but according to Mt. Sinai, the average actually obtained is 0.04cc, far less.
My first thought upon seeing the Haptic Music feature is to wonder how long until they make compatible headphones and I can relive my high school years, walking around listening to nu-metal and hip-hop with a Panasonic Shockwave walkman.
I’ve just skimmed the post, but it seems like this attack takes advantage of validators operating in “untrusted” mode, i.e. outside the protection of the blockchain. They want to have their cake and eat it too. They want the security of the blockchain without the time spent to validate it. And then when someone takes advantage of this, they run to the police?

This feels like selective prosecution of people who exploited the people who were already exploiting the system. Why should the court intervene and cut short this game of tit for tat? And why doesn’t it intervene in the same shenanigans that happen every day in HFT markets?

I need to keep reading the technical write up, but it sounds a lot like an idea I had a few years ago. It seemed obvious to me. You have all these bots trying to frontrun the chain, and getting away with not trusting each other. Why not trick them and punish them for their exploits? You can scrape the DHT and impersonate arbitrary communications without the hassle of worrying about integrity and validation. For me, this was never more than an idle curiosity and area of research, but I certainly never thought it was morally or legally wrong. MEV bots are taking risk to exploit a system. Why would it be wrong to force them to realize that risk? Otherwise the MEV bots aren’t actually taking any risk and are simply exploiting their privileged position atop a moral hazard.

To add to this, unless you are actually competitively cycling (you probably aren't) this sort of thing makes pretty much no difference for someone that is using cycling for transport.

It's a bit like obsessing over the lightest frame possible. Yeah, we can get a 1lb frame made of space materials but at the end of the day it's basically something that will reduce a cyclist's average speed by like 0.1mph.

For anyone doing anything other than competitive cycling, comfort is far more important than anything else and fat wheel bikes with steel frames are damn comfortable to ride on.

A relatively heavy bike with giant wheels might take your average speed down .5 or even 1 mph. You almost certainly won't notice it.
