I don't know, it doesn't seem racist to me, it seems more like an (incorrect) comment on the type of people who cross the border illegally, which is only a fraction of all Mexicans.

> When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. […] They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people

I can't imagine undoubtedly racist people, like saying the Grand Master of the KKK, making a statement like that and then throwing in a comment about how some black people are good people.
> I didn't ever have even a dime for a phone booth.

Neither did I, but I knew how to place a collect call and my mom knew that if she got a collect call while I was away it was most likely me.
Does it matter if you enter with multiple people? Does the charge go up (whereas Uber/Lyft grants you 3+ seats by default)?
I feel like this is sort of silly. Unless I am missing something I would expect almost everyone to answer the survey in such a manner that would financially benefit them. With the exception of remote work I would imagine if a want isn’t met no one would quit.
Consumer Reports is a media company assigning gold stars to products their writers like. The EPA (or FCC, or ____) is a 3-letter with a nominal ability to enforce certain standards among devices presenting their mark. The purported accountability of a EPA/FCC/UL/whatever mark is key here.
Not a whole lot of operational difference between sending them a snowflake view name or sending an S3 URL but there's probably two orders of magnitude cost difference
AI autocomplete can often do things faster than I could physically type the code, and it can do trivial but very uncommon things that I haven't encountered enough to actually learn, like sed/awk/etc syntax.
"demanding" is a favourite clickbait word.

In this case it feeds the zoomers' sense of importance and feeds boomers' opinion of zoomers as entitled.

Win-win.

You can have a right in principle but companies must actively take measures to make parts and documentation available for it to
actually be possible to avail yourself of that right. The big deal is over which purposes and to what degree governments should be able to compel companies to offer this to their customers, support resale of used parts, support business that broker parts, etc. There are a lot of messy details and tradeoffs.

> If I'm reading correctly the Florida waypoints referenced were renamed because a busybody NY Times reporter complained?

Do you suppose that if a so-called busybody complained about a waypoint the FAA didn’t care about, they’d bother to change it?

It was $11k. You could probably pay that with the change in your couch.
I got lost in Valletta on Malta during a family trip when I was probably around 7 or 8, and it's one of my proudest and most formative memories from that period of childhood, even if it was scary as hell.

Valletta occupies a tongue of land thrust into the ocean. I got lost in the middle of the city, and had to come up with a plan for how to get back to my parents. I realized I'd probably be able to find it from the promenade as we had walked it a fair bit.

I recalled my Dad showing me the city map and pointing out the streets were on a very regular grid pattern perpendicular to the shores. So I headed down a street until I hit the shore. Then I realized I was on the wrong side, so I decided to round the entire coastline to get to the right, opposing shore. This was foiled by some sort of fenced-off military installation or something (scary!), but I was eventually able to make it to the other side by circumnavigating it. I got pretty close to our hotel when I ran into my Mom who was desperately searching for me.

My backup plan was to hover around streetside cafés looking for non-scary looking tourists speaking my language and ask them for help if it got too late.

It's so seared into my mind, I almost want to believe I'd still recognize the landmarks. I was definitely very scared and agonizing. But I've always felt very good that my plan worked and that I was able to get out of my first little crisis.

I'm not sure what the lesson of this story is. It's probably not to get your kids lost on purpose. Showing them a map of where they are and studying it together is great for sense of place and navigation, though -- make sure they know where they are at least roughly, not just that you can track them.
I'm not forgetting "Her", and I think it's in-bounds to say a company is inspired by / referencing a film in PR -- I can list quite a few SV startups that directly tie their DNA to an inspiring book or film, and heretofore that's generally not considered objectionable. (For instance, Paypal / Cryptonomicon).

The sky voice has been part of the app since the launch, it was not newly launched for GPT4o.

You're missing a key step in your logic chain: That they pulled the voice when SJ made a public complaint does not imply that they thought it was a soundalike, or that they documented they were making a soundalike, or that a soundalike is wrong, or that they thought they were doing something wrong when they hired the Sky voice actor. It just means that they pulled the Sky voice on public request from SJ.

That, combined with SJ reports that she turned down a licensing deal, and WaPo reporting that the Sky voice actor sounds like the voice delivered in ChatGPT, are pretty much the only facts we have right now.

As to SJ brand decisions -- maybe. I would bet the offer was low / not discussed, instead of it being substantial. But, that is also speculation.
We sort of have this. My employer REALLY wants everyone back at the office, but there is the obvious pushback, so everyone can choose how much money they want/need to commute and the employer hands the cash. Even with this cash option, many are only doing 2-3 days per week at the office, other simply refuse all together and said they will resign if there is any mandatory at-the-office days.
Sounds like a line from a dr Seuss book.
I would be very curious how life changing that would be for the average HN user.
It's in the first sentence of the article too :)
Perhaps, though a world without SEO doesn't necessarily surface the best content either. Not everything about Google's algorithm that's subpar is because of spam or SEO.
I think Numerical Elixir (NX) allows for GPU programming. It uses XLA for scheduling computation?
May you elaborate on what you mean by 'colocated sounds or voice '?

Does that mean sound coming in the same direction as the person they are targeting? Does it mean sound near the person /object they are targeting?
Using “DVD” doesn’t seem to make sense because, as noted, the diameter of a DVD is less than 5 inches.
My sister is in her twenties. About the time she was in high school these tracking apps became available. My mother used it to keep an eye on her. Fast forward almost a decade, she freaks out if my mother isn't checking in on her now. It's quite disgusting.

I am glad to be about 10 years older and have entirely missed this plague.
The problem is housing in Australia has been turned into an investment. The Howard government in the 90's gave houses only 50% capital gains tax, which puts it inline with stocks. This has led to rampant speculation in the property market and the idea the price can only ever go up.

It's about as difficult as fixing any other household appliance, which isn't very difficult as long as it isn't hideously cheap and Apple wasn't involved.
Australians are getting an income tax cut next year, so that's nice.
I came here to say this. I have no idea what a socket might be.

I flush my pens monthly or if I intend to put it away for a while.
> my parents were in reach if I was in reach of a [wired] phone

This is the biggest reason why I'm not against this tech. When I was a kid I was almost always within reach of a wired phone: at school they had a phone explicitly available for kids to use, and while out and about I was almost always in reach of a pay phone. Even if I had no cash I occasionally would call collect.

These days, the network of wired phones that I relied on is mostly gone. My kids aren't quite old enough to roam far enough for it to matter, but soon they will be, and a smart watch (with a limited set of contacts and no distracting features) currently seems like our best bet in the absence of the strong wired phone network that my parents relied on.
> There are no far-right people of note here

I would think srid is notable due to his site making an impression here? But I can see where you're coming from. I've observed attempted community takeovers from a safe distance, and it's depressing. Not going to attempt a coherent opinion on Nix, as I am not involved in the project.

No, I really don't. Your counter-example just seems like a false equivalence to me.
A Devil's Bargain with OpenAI
Thank you to share. My experience (different countries) was similar to yours.

Do you know anyone who grew up in a big city in the same era? I do. They didn't experience the same type of freedoms. Their parents were much more concerned about crime/kidnapping/"the boogey man".
> However, I think this belief that humans evolved to be so sensitive to childhood trauma is incredibly over sensationalized. I'm no worse off in life despite getting lost a few times. Your kid will be fine.

If that is true, then you cannot say that tracking your child's every step will traumatize them permanently either.
While I never ever use klarna because I don't like the idea of making payments on everything, the one time I did on accident click klarna pay instead of simply using my credit card figuring out how to undo it was great. I simply called their helpline, it went straight to a real person, and I explained to her I didn't need a 5 year payment plan on 30€ ski poles. She said she completely understood and said I could simply pay the full amount immediately and she would cancel the loan. That took like ten minutes tops to fix and it was certainly my fault for clicking the wrong thing. So their customer service is great in my experience.

I'm in Australia also and have (amoungst other things) worked FiFo on and off for four decades now .. mining & resource companies certainly pay for the flights to and from the work place .. and provide accomadation while there.

I live outside of Perth, if I consult | work for folk in the big smoke I quote charge for time on deck + travel allowance .. if I'm travelling for their benefit it's detracting from time I could otherwise spend on myself or other clients.
> People raised children for 1000s of years without any technology. I bet we can do that too.

I love these comments. So, no vaccines for you and your kids, right?
I object to the idea that putting a smartwatch on your child is helicopter parenting. It can be exactly the opposite - if a little piece of technology allows kids to roam farther unsupervised, then it fosters independence.

I have never been accused of overparenting, yet I preordered one of these google watches. I expect to use it on outings like amusement parks and ski trips. We'll see how it goes.

One Rockauto tip is to Google for a 5% discount code and enter it at checkout. I’ve never not found one.
Not the person you replied to, but given the logistics and local nature of relevant laws in construction there most likely isn't going to be a "recognized brand" that will give you a fair and reasonable price for anything except a traditional manufactured home that is governed under HUD manufactured housing program. (https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/housing/rmra/mhs)

Your best bet is to either find a company near you that specializes in tiny-homes and ask for a quote on a custom home that is built on a trailer (that you or the company sources) or simply buy an RV / Camper.

At the end of the day though if you're looking for something that is 'ultra affordable' then you will want to build it yourself. For that scenario I can point you at a number of resources that would help you along that path, just email or text me using the contact info in my profile.
That’s gross regardless of whether it led to you being mind controlled!
Don’t do it.

I did, about eight years ago. Now there is a lathe in my office that I use to make replacement parts for century-old pens.
I don’t get it. Greg Brockman mentioned they were training GPT5 last May, so why is this even news? I’m guessing it’s serving to distract
The size of a single hailstone indicates the number of times it was relofted and another layer added to it. This quantifies the storm in a way that an aggregate of smaller stones doesn’t.
I thought the same, Ski resorts are classic places for kids to get lost, from now on, my kid will always have an AirTag in their pocket when on the ski resort.
Watch out for HN commenters who cannot distinguish between the idea of

(a) a wrist watch that allows parents to track their children with no obligation to share this information with anyone, and

(b) a wrist watch than allows Google to track and collect data on peoples' children and share some but not all of the data with the childrens' parents.
That's the idea of microservices.
It better be otherwise it would be a failed design (attempt).
Can this run on AWS Lambda with a EBS Blockstore?

Mentally this is the cheapest w/o all those egress costs, but I'm not sure. Combine that with we don't like managing resources outside AWS unless absolutely forced.

I really wanted this because RDS serverless v1 could do zero compute, but v2 has a minimum compute requirement.

If I can run my Postgres reliably on AWS Lambda, the costs drop to near zero for non production instances, which is where a lot of people play.
I wonder why Amazon did not create their own mirror. They would sync with Fedora mirrors once. All aws traffic can then go to their own mirrors.

Isn't that sensible thing to do?
It'd be interesting to see how compact the binary form is, and what external dependencies it has.

Forth's selling points are mostly how compact a minimal environment can be, and how easy it is to extend that environment to do more useful things. The 'shell' is the compiler.
Show HN: Right-click and save content directly to Google Sheets
I released the initial version of the Add to Sheets Chrome extension recently. With the extension, you can predefine the destination sheet and column where you want to save content, and then save/add content from any webpage with a right-click. Almost like Pinterest for GSheets - instead of copy/paste, you can right-click/save.
>deploying riot cops with ancient chemical weapons near children should get your mayor railroaded into a job at McDonalds.

That's what many Americans want, though. They believe their streets are full of immigrants and thugs raping and killing at will, gangsters doing crack, vagrants shitting in the street and pedophiles stalking their children. They want hard men to crack skulls, shoot first and ask questions later. They vote for the mayor who promises to take back the streets, time and again.
Wait. The most advanced models have to be safe against mass monetary losses and mass casualties, but not the less advanced ones?

How exactly does that make sense?

That's like only regulating fighter jet safety while letting passenger jets do whatever they want.

Based on my reading here he was just offered a no-interview re-hire at Google, and decided not to take it. So calling that and L or W seems to take too few factors into account.
Legal reform is still needed though

Negative gearing must be scrapped and the capital gains tax wound back to pre-Howard levels

The speculation on people’s shelter needs to end

————————

Reforms aside, I agree housing stock must lift. How we can achieve that with such pervasive red tape at the local government level is beyond me

One fairly extreme capitalist approach (Japan’s) was covered in this great summary by ABC Australia (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5pPcV54kiQ)

I don’t think it’s a conspiracy theory to say that Japanification of the west’s economies is here to stay, and we need legal, economic and cultural reform to adapt to the changing needs of our housing

The status quo cannot persist without great pain
True, the model is already trained. But it can still be tuned. When I hit the dislike or like button in Claude and leave a comment what I found bad or good I assume my actions are not for nothing, just like a busy box to make me think I'm doing something. If that's true I'll stop doing it. I hope by doing it I'll help tune it and help the next model be better.
No TV, no video games, no smart watches, no vaccines, no doctor visits, no stored food, no radio, no refrigerators, no nothing. You came from 1000 generations who survived just fine without them. Everything must stay the same.
I'm in the Philippines now, and one thing I've noticed is that when you go out to a fast food joint (Jollibee, Chow King, Mang Inasal, &c.) they don't even have any plastic fork/knife/spoon dispensers, napkin dispensers, or condiment dispensers anywhere at all in the dining area. I'm told it's because people here take them home. Sometimes they steal all the napkins.

If you don't get these things after paying at the counter, you are out of luck. You can try to approach the counter to get them, but most people don't bother because these places are always so crowded.
Also go.sum is roughly equivalent to your package-lock.json. go.mod would be the package.json equivalent
Thank you! My near-term goals are to build a new home for myself and then re-purpose as much of the raw materials that make up my current manufactured home to build 'tiny homes' for each of my two children (young) on the 2 acres I currently live.

After that, who knows what life will throw my way :)
So, you prefer the situation where CEO salaries are rising significantly faster than housing costs, and everybody else's salaries are rising slower than housing costs. I suppose you also consider homeless encampments an eyesore?
Or, you just need to grow a pair. "Hurting your feelings" is not a legally actionable here, I think.
Just curious: do you see any issues with concurrency or anything else rust would help with, or is it domain knowledge related issues?
So, to be clear, I think you could launch a company that was like "It's 100% exactly as good as the movie Her. Seen the movie Her? This is like that AI. You can download it here", and not legally owe a penny. The concept of the AI in Her is not something that the makers of the film own, and companies are inspired by creative works of all sorts all the time when they make things. This is considered good in American business law.

Agreed that an endorsement, express or implied, is usually something the endorser has rights over.

So, in this case, from your perspective, you'd need to prove that people understood such an endorsement to have happened, and if you want damages, that it benefitted the company and/or harmed the endorser.

On these terms, the facts we know don't seem terrible for OpenAI - they negotiated in good faith for the endorsement, and when she went public / gave a final 'no' they pulled the voice, which apparently was not created by a copycat voice actor, but instead by another woman that SJ claims sounds identical to her. OpenAI has not summarily fallen over or gone bankrupt, in fact, the app that caused controversy hasn't launched yet.
For a moment I was excited to see sqlite with postgres compatibility.
The accusation of this TFA and many others (at an accelerating rate) is that all of theft, fraud, and force or at least the threat of some kind of force is precisely how the present situation emerged. He or entities he utterly controls are the defendants in multiple lawsuits and an SEC investigation around allegations of more or less that entire basket of levers.

As a lay observer and a figure of zero public note, I’m not held to the standard a juror is: I can draw a conclusion based on an overwhelming preponderance of evidence and lobby in my tiny way on the basis of said conclusion.

If I were a juror, I’d be held to the standard of “beyond a reasonable doubt”, guidance typically annotated by a judge with specific instructions as to what it means in the context of a specific legal proceeding.

I’m not advocating for some kind of ugly mob justice (I’ve been at the mercy of unruly mobs, I do not recommend it).

I’m advocating that a sufficiently compelling body of evidence both documentary and testimonial exists to remove this person from a position in which they can plausibly manipulate the legal infrastructure itself, and public opinion likewise, and hand the matter over to duly constituted authority.

Personally? I’ll bet the rent that the ocean of evidence will persuade a fair jury, but I’m not a jury, I’m a random guy who knows how scary this technology is in the hands of people like that and is pleading with the world to stop him getting fucking laws passed and shit.
Productivity is actually falling. What's happened is that a record number of migrants came in after the fastest rate rises in the country's history, into a historic housing shortage. Competition for rentals (1% vacancy rates in many areas, sometimes lower) has kept the rental yield high, which has in turn buoyed housing prices despite the increase in interest rates. In addition to this, migration and tightening credit are both depressing wages after a short burst of growth during COVID. A big part of this is that work restrictions for student visas have been lifted, which means a flood of full-time cheap labour for those who only use the student visa to gain entry into the country. All of this in a country with a significant money laundering problem in real estate, that has been known about for more than twenty years, and a government that has zero interest in investigating the issue, because 60% of the population either own a home outright, or have a mortgage.

Inflation has started increasing again because the cost of housing is included in the CPI, and government price controls on energy (enacted during COVID) are coming to an end. This likely means more rate rises are on the way, at a time when we're seeing a significant decline in per capita GDP.
