What I see on WhatsApp:

"Messages are generated by Meta AI. Some may be inaccurate or inappropriate. Learn more."

Which leads to a pop-up further explaining that use cases include things like "creating something new like text or images".

I think it's going to be really interesting to see whether that's considered enough by courts, or if they'll take the position that these things pretend too well to be a real person to make such a disclaimer sufficient, similarly to how e.g. a brokerage can't disclaim "no investment advice" and then go on to say "but buy this stock, it's gonna moon tomorrow, trust me bro".
$70/hour is about $145k/year. If you're meaning it's close to $200k/year, that'd be $95/hour assuming 2080 hours/year (52 weeks at 40 hours a week).
How would you then argue against the points listed in the article?
I haven't checked a bag or brought a non personal item carry on in 8 years. You can easily fit 4 sets of clothes, a jacket, etc.

>It is abusive, because it's basically lying about the real cost of the ticket.

In the US every airline that does this makes it comically clear. Spirit, the one people always make fun of for nickel and diming, has multiple screens before you book telling you that it'll cost extra for bags. Every other airline does similar.

Yes queue the 'but I have 9 children' posts, obviously then you need to pay a bag fee.
700,000 liters sounds like a lot of water but it wouldn’t even half way fill a standard olympic size swimming pool. It’s a tiny amount of water.
Just checkin for free on your phone and use your phone as a ticket. I fly with Ryanair often enough and honestly wasn't even aware there's still a fee like that.
Stories like this will make me more comfortable trying Logitech products in the future (I say as I look around the room at the 3 Logitech nice within 10ft of me).

I’ve been hesitant to buy things like smart remotes, or other things in similar categories, because so many companies have poor track records around support. Good support does more than advertising ever could for me.
Ostrich Effect
I "love" how we've reached a point where we so distrust this company specifically but dark pattern UIs in general where we almost anticipate placebo like buttons.
"You can take my C when you can prise it from my cold, dead hands."

By the way, it might be pronounced as 'per say', but it's two Latin words and spelt 'per se' - translatable as 'by itself' or 'in its own right'.
You have to wonder if Giannandrea is what's been holding Siri back all these years. What can you point to that he's significantly improved at Apple since coming from Google in 2018? And now he's luke-warm on LLMs? Seems like someone we should be seeing present Apple's AI strategy at this year's WWDC keynote, no?
Energy: Rewriting the Possibilities
Windows and OS X had the same/similar problems. On consuner hardware at that time you probably couldn't make firewire secure.
Wow full of ads
You could also subtract points for submissions whose titles appear to advocate causing harm.
It would be much better if they just had a streamlined process for charging for larger bags at the airport, and if the fee were roughly the same whether done in advance or not.

As it stands, forgetting that Wizz Air requires bags 6cm smaller than easyJet and then getting told you can either pay more than your ticket cost originally or go home, but only sometimes if you get "caught", is just a bit... I dunno, uncivilized, I guess?

If you make it say, £15 in advance, £20 at the airport, that is enough to encourage people to do it in advance as long as bags are all checked, you don't need to be punitive.
Hey, congratulations on the release! So happy to see it finally in the open. Also thanks for taking the time and effort the explain in detail the reasoning for the licensing choice.

Not sure, why the HN crowd is so silent about this release, this is BIG news.

To add some hints, why this is worth looking into:

- the PowerSync service was extracted from a working SAAS product that has been up since 2011 allowing to build offline-first apps in a low-code app builder

- this means it is NOT a research project that has yet to see extensive production use and iron out all the bugs and stuff

- the team behind is humble and very resourceful, judging by the amount of open source SDKs that take a lot of effort to maintain

- it supports _PARTIAL_ replication, and this is one of the few (if not the only one) of all the available open source solutions for local-first apps

Always happy to see a new alternative for small off-line-capable apps available to the average indie-developer!
To be clear, those are problems. But a fee for a boarding-pass print only exceeding the cost of the paper it’s printed on is totally reasonable.
What do you think about power plants apparently needing a lot of fresh, relatively cold, relatively clean water? A precious resource in future.
Reminds me of how I just saw a paper where scientists proved it was safe to eat double-yolk eggs, which I do all the time.
Yeah, that’s what we use as well but I don’t think that addresses the underlying instance cost? I’m not familiar with Serverless v2 though, if that’s what this is using.

hyperwave is great for slow connections - in my testing, even a 2G throttled connection is still usable with load times in the 5s range.
From https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/30/ai-siri-features-ios-18...:

“Apple has been working on a deal with OpenAI to integrate OpenAI's ChatGPT technology into iOS 18, […] but Siri functionality likely relies on Apple's own LLM work.”
> Even today courts have ruled that police are under no obligation to protect civilians

Yeah, LAPD's "protect and serve" was dreamed up by the City's marketing arm in the 1950s.

And those rulings have come because PDs have stood up and said "We have no obligation to prevent crime or protect people" and the courts have said, "Yup, you're right."
Does anyone host their own email in a jurisdiction with a domain and VPS US Feds can't seize arbitrarily? If so, which webmail software do you use? Do you handle backups and/or high-availability?
Well right, my point is the damaged party is in the wrong class. That's why it's not being resolved.
Large companies hire people to work on open source. Some use their clout to influence standards.

As a developer I like that companies hire for open source. As a user the quality increases with full time employees. What we don't notice is many projects morph to fit corporate needs because they become important stakeholders.

Money and power corrupt by design.
Had a business account, multiple users in charge of their little zones. Worker bees do work, drop it in a dropbox folder as they go. When they're finished, they tell the person in charge of their zone it's ready, and that person ships it off to the client.

Nothing was TOS breaking there, just that it couldn't detect changes to the folders, so, it would never sync. Triggering a manual re-sync would just hang indefinitely and never finish.
I don't know what kind of cynical, extortionary company produces phones with a proprietary adapter protocol implementing DRM to make it hard to produce third-party alternatives to their first-party USB-to-audio dongles.

If you take a look at the USB-C adapter ecosystem, you most likely won't find such shenanigans – because manufacturers can just do the right thing there and hook up a DAC to a small SoC that speaks the USB audio protocol directly.
Especially when they can’t use that cash to buy Nvidia cards, due to an epic grudge
RyanAir most does fairly short trips (1-2 hours), and tons of people do weekend returns and such. You don't need checked baggage for anything less than a week.

I've seen tons of people with 3 bags, huge bags, and things like that. Frustratingly, this mostly affects people like me who don't do that, because I'll be the one asked to put my relatively small backpack under the seat because they're out of space, and being close to 2 metres it's not like I have tons of space to start with. Never too happy about that.

I haven't flown in a while, but generally RyanAir has been pretty relaxed about this, probably because it's just not worth the hassle and all of that. But seriously, fuck these people and fuck their fucking bags and I don't blame RyanAir for placing some incentives to stop the excesses.
Also, there's a huge difference between teams where QA is seen as a stepping stone on the path to graduating into "real" development, versus teams where QA is viewed as a critically important role that's valuable in itself. There needs to be a role for senior QA engineers, because if all your junior QA folks are looking to "graduate" to development you won't get expert QA folks who really care about QA.

I've seen what great senior QA engineers can do. Proactive approaches to testing; integrating new approaches to testing; influence on architecture and design to make codebases more robust; optimizing testsuites so they can run more often; better capture of long-tail errors from production; design and implementation of scratch infrastructure to test more things before production...

Sure, but it makes it sound like the laptop being old is what creates the problem, when it's the laptop being busted that's the problem.
Mostly that I don't have enough experience working with Astro on things that are more sophisticated than "interesting CMS-backed blog or publication" to really comment. Secondarily that there are plenty of tools, some quite venerable at this point (Rails! Django!), that have the more complex terrain covered already.

It’s also exposure to natural light. Myopia jumps when kids are exposed to artificial lighting [1]. It seems some constant is hard coded into our genes to calibrate our eyes to the Sun’s light. (Artificial natural light, despite sounding like an oxymoron, can help.)

Very often, when I ask 'how do I do x' and had no idea how to do it in the first place.

I know what your trying to say, but if you ask how to do your problem, instead of something like how do I use a for loop to do it, you'll be given a solution.
Is there no bank with their own mobile payment app where you live?
That's not a policy. A policy would be reverting immigration laws.
Spelling nit: though the logo is all-caps, the company is called “Visa”.
> Republican, middle-aged White women residing in three conservative states, Arizona, Florida, and Texas, which are focus points of contentious abortion and immigration battles. Their neighborhoods were poorly educated but relatively high in income. Supersharers’ massive volume did not seem automated but was rather generated through manual and persistent retweeting.

This kind of people existed for a long time. Before social media, I attended university with a few women who preached religious conservative ideals. The stories were so "off" that the campus chaplains pointed out that the stories (now called fake news) weren't charitable.

After graduation, they worked minimum-paid jobs for a few years, married, became homemakers and have 5+ children. They were super active on social media, so I thought, "Why do you have so much time on hand?" In addition, living in the conservative states must be so cheap or they were so wealthy that there's only one breadwinner in the household.

We aren't in touch anymore.

Facebook outages must be hard on them.
Did this bug have anything to do with firewire providing direct memory access to peripherals, bypassing the cpu?
He’s lukewarm on chatbots, not necessarily on LLMs.
Yeah the corner can correspond to any one point on the torus. They are all the same point, but other than that there's nothing really interesting about the corner(s).

The edges are more interesting, two of them go around the 'hole' of the 'donut' and the other two wrap 'around' the 'donut' itself (i.e. around the dough if it was an actual american style donut). There's no way to tell which is which.

These edges have the interesting property that you can't shrink them to a point (compared to say a loop on a globe which you can make smaller until its a single point). Except when the donut is not hollow in that case one of the loops becomes contractible, turning the space into the equivalent of a circle.
This seems like an awful lot of work for little benefit. Although I use and pay for kagi, it's not to de-Google. It simply is a superior search engine which honors semi-advanced search filters better. However, when I want to search sholarly refernces, Google search reigns supreme.

I guess I'm just a rube, but it never occurred to me to demand much 'something' (all the stuff Google provides me) for 'nothing' (refusal to allow use of my annonomized data). Since I bother setting my cookie settings on all new websites, I don't really get bombarded with personalized advertising anymore. That's my middle ground. (I also pay for YouTube Premium, so I don't see the ads there).
I fail to see how this difference strongly justifies the word "hallucination."

The computer is crunching numbers and probabilities of things and giving its best guess based on that, in both cases. If it's appropriate for one, it should be for the other.

(which, I'd say, it isn't, because "hallucination" implies "mistake by a human-like thing")
Is the effort worth it?
Honestly I think a fundamental misconception about Chinese EVs is that people tend to view them as a monolith, and often talk about unfair government backed and funded push to destroy Western carmakers.

The reality is that there are more than a dozen serious Chinese EV brands and they are in a cutthroat competition even for their own domestic market and most of their production goes to domestic customers. I don't think subsidies in this context should be a considered a weapon of international trade.

Any design which you are favoring in general?

From an outsider's perspective, SFR based designs look like hellish machines which are begging to burst up in flames. In contrast, I love the design of the properties LFR, except the material problems of high temperature lead. And in German circles the Dual Fluid reactor gets a lot of buzz as well.

> But if you are booking via e.g. Kiwi.com, you will probably never visit Ryanair's site and you will miss this detail.

And that's exactly why they even do this in the first place!

They can't outright ban Kiwi.com from reselling their tickets, so they fight a proxy fight on the backs of their own customers.

I'm glad to hear that they have at least dropped their fee significantly; back when I ran into this issue, they were charging over 100€.
Something is a little off about the statements regarding the rarity of HTTP in 1994. I didn't know anyone with a Mac that lacked Mosaic (or, later, Netscape) and NCSA Telnet.
Never though of it that way: With enough data, it's likely to find something that looks suspicious, for some definition thereof, even if just due to software errors. When looked at in isolation, this could convince people like real evidence.

This would basically be the same as p-hacking.

According to Dr Goldberg, who I heard on Huberman's podcast[1], morning sunlight so you can get red light. Dusk/twilight also has red light, but I've heard that it's helpful to combat the effect of bright light before sleep, like that from screens, for some reason I forget. Now I make sure to get a bit of both.

> 10 years ago I spent 10x+ per month for 32GB (RAM) Heroku Postgres instances, IIRC they were around $400/mo, maybe even more.

Aren't you comparing RAM vs Storage there? The pricing chart here says nothing about RAM.
But the Democrats haven't made an¥ significant changes to immigration policy. In fact, they offered an bipartisan immigration bill that tilted significantly toward the Republicans' wishlist and the GOP rejected because Trump wants to run on immigration and giving Biden a political win in that area was unacceptable to thim (even though many on the left found the proposed legislation very disagreeable).

The main change at the border is a larger number of migrants. Migration trends are up globally, for a variety of reasons including climate change.

They do. You can buy the kits in the US, or rent it for I think $59. They do need a $1200 retainer that is refunded when the kit is returned.
SE Asia has become a bit of a Mecca for Queer content - began as very niche media locally but they began to cater to the global queer audience about 4-5 years ago. Changed my life actually. It took many series before I was comfortable with 2 men kissing on screen but I made myself watch, despite a significant culture shock and it all being very low budget back then. I can now identify which country an Asian person is from bc hundreds of shows have been made by the same 6-7 countries and I'm familiar with their distinctions now - that's how much I've seen

Western Gay media is terrible - Call Me By Your Name is perhaps the only movie I would recommend and Heartstopper the only Series.

Heartstopper was/is an unbelievably big deal tho. It's just a decent teen HS romance about a young couple, dealing with young people stuff, one of those things being that they are both guys and the interesting set of challenges that brings - that was revolutionary, never, ever been done before in the west - I'm still waiting for one to die (how gay Western media pre 2022 ends)

In all seriousness tho - I hope every gay boy in the world is able to see Heartstopper, perhaps the next generation of us will be happier.

I'm sure more info than you asked for but whenever this comes up I try to leave a few breadcrumbs for those that haven't found their way to BL media yet

I agree, and that mechanism is to introduce a new, permissioned API into Firefox's Web Extension API implementation.

Requiring them to maintain two completely different extension APIs (the old XUL-based one and Web Extensions) would work too but seems excessive.

That sounds so ridiculous that I feel embarrassed for you that you could say something so nonsensical.
My understand of the 1960's Spanish law which applies here is that the volume of luggage that is accepted as carry-on is fixed by the aircraft manufacturer (e.g. size of the overhead bins), and not the airline: the airline cannot arbitrarily decide the max volume of carry-on that passengers are allowed to bring (and worse, cannot selectively enforce a different limit for different passengers).

I can clearly see the slippery slope if rules like this were not be enforced.
You're just trolling at this point. Please stop.
