> I won't use it. I am pushing back on your belief that it has figured something out about anything, because to me it looks like Kagi takes Google's results and then makes them worse.

Kagi is pretty clear about how they do what they do: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/search-details/search-sources.htm.... You're half right, except that Google is not a vertical that they leverage for their index. Their solution works for me, but I'm also a techy. Anecdotally, my partner uses it, and she is not a techy.

> Oh well, I do know I will not be worshipping a new god that cannot even destroy the abominations sitting at the top of the rankings.

The only way this statement applies (to me) is if you can optimize for Kagi. The only way I can think of to do that is organically, but admittedly I haven't put much effort into it because the magic of Kagi's flavor of search is that it puts me in near proximity to information density and sources that I already trust. The real proving grounds for Kagi are a decade out.
> I was paying <~$300/mo on that plan. I now pay over $700 on a directly-acquired plan. So that's problem one.

This is relatively small pickles. Your employer paying a few hundred, maybe a thousand dollars on your behalf if you are old, per month. You can buy the same on healthcare.gov
:). If only people in America understood how they are being scammed by the Health Insurance Mafia.
And Citroen has no plants in Romania.
> In Mississippi you pay $100 less for a house and then make $200 less in income, so who is going to do that?

I understand your point but you’d have to validate this assumption.

You’re also not accounting for the costs to build more housing in California. Instead something you may want to look at is moving employers to Mississippi (or wherever).

To take your point to its logical conclusion everyone in America would move to California for the highest paying jobs relative to housing. But that would never work in the real world even if we had no restrictions on housing development.

When you look at the entire planet I think this becomes more pronounced. When you look at hyper-local environments as well (say Manhattan) it also demonstrates the point.
I bought an early version of Redhat on CDs there along with my tech books. I was then able to get to my own mail and ftp server going. WBB might even get some credit for my career path.
Partnering with an AI company means I can no longer trust your output
I don't understand what people have against subscriptions.

To me that's the fairest. First, it incentives them to make a good product, and keep developing it as opposed to just throwing it out there and then not updating.

And secondly it's also fair for the customer. If I don't find something useful I might stop using it after a week, but I paid the full price, same as if I found it useful for years.
It makes sense that there is at least some puffery

> I now pay $120 for me and my wife for a plan that is better than the $1000 plan through the ACA in Oregon because I'm no longer self employed.

Look at box 12 code DD on your W-2. That is the total amount you are paying for your health insurance (it’s just that your employer is paying it directly). It’s still counted in the cost of employing you though, obviously.

Assuming you have a silver or gold level plan, total cost to insure you and your wife is the same on healthcare.gov or if your employer buys it.

The only broad savings are if your employer is self insuring and their risk pool (employees and their families) are disproportionately low risk (young and single).
$400k for Senior is an outlier.

According to Levels.fyi - and my personal contacts - https://www.levels.fyi/t/software-engineer/locations/san-fra... Median TC - something just-south of $300k TC (not salary) is more likely.

Furthermore, the higher you go, a greater proportion comes as RSUs, not cash - even if it was $400k TC, a good chunk of that is money you literally can't spend for a couple of years.
More likely straight to bonus and eventual golden parachute!
> On top of this, intelligence does not simply pop into existence - there would need to be many millions of years of fossil record showing the evolution of some intelligent lineage.

What is the evolutionary gradient leading to “intelligence?” Where is there evidence of .99, .98, .97.. of Human intelligence?

Could an intelligent life form not leave a fossil or any other record? Is a material culture always evident where human-level intelligence exists?
... by which time all the competition no longer makes it easy?
I agree with you, but we don’t need to focus this on only San Francisco. Other cities should be walkable and productive. Tech companies should relocate jobs from “status” cities to non-status cities across the country.
Its a shell of what it once was

Chrysler -> Fiat -> Stellantis

Dodge Trucks used to be the aspiration - now they are the bottom of the heap (but still better than a cybertruck)

Don’t really believe in cause and effect there. It’s hard to get to PMF while having high quality code unless you have an abundance of money and time. I don’t even think it’s a good idea to do that.
> My wife and I also wanted to start a family. TinyPilot only occupied about 20% of my time, but it occupied 90% of my stress. I would have done a terrible job juggling founder stress with new parent stress.

I feel this. Being a founder is hard, and raising kids is very hard. I was a little bit sad when I saw this headline show up on HN, because I've been following you for years, ever since the beginning. I always admired your hardware business, and the yearly retros, and I was sad to see it all end. But after reading the post, I do understand. Congrats on the sale, and on the child. I hope you can find some relief from the stress of being a founder, and I hope your new family will bring you as much joy as my 2 kids have (with +1 on the way for me as well).

Would you build another hardware business, or are you going to try for a software business next?
> Frankly I feel like we all deserve it, at this point. This shit is just what happens when nobody cares anymore.

Come on. I as a programmer didn't realize Google spyed on me on non-Google websites until maybe 2015 some time when it struck me that the ads matched my Google searches.

I thought the idea of someone spying in poor little me being silly, until embarrassingly late.

With LLMs the spying can take enormous scale. It will most likely get way worse before there is any chance of a recourse ...
The average person's TV setup (what used to be called "home theater") now matches or exceeds the movie going experience: volume control, pause anytime, cheap food, private bathrooms, no-one talking ot eating next to you, etc. I saw Dune 2 in a nearly empty theater and it was still a terrible experience (good movie though).
CUDA is a technology investment that gives Nvidia a moat, but there is nothing exclusionary about it, Nvidia invested in tooling years ago ... it will just take time for others to catch up.
Not one of the cars you just listed are GM et al US makers. Sure, they might be made here, but not one of them is an "American" car.
Sure, that was a given. Still, 50% of the App Store revenue still proves Android users do spend money on apps.
Is every "AI product" a piece of software where the end user interfaces with an llm? Or is an application that used AI to be built an "AI product"?

Is it the thing itself, or is it the thing that enables us?
Does HO stand for home office in this case?
A byte would fit at least 255 different values, right? How often is this limit exceeded in practice.
That's definitely a case where being a little handy pays off- most of the little things that break on an older car can be fixed for free in a few minutes if you follow a youtube video or forum instructions, but a shop has to charge a lot. Usually it is a common problem, and there will be a known "trick" that fixes it simply. A shop is not going to re-solder a cracked relay or get a used plastic trim for $1 at a junkyard, they're going to replace the entire system with new parts from the manufacturer, at massive expense.

It's really important to have some "pride of ownership" in an older car, and fix anything that isn't perfect immediately- so they don't build up over time and make you feel like the whole vehicle isn't nice to use or own anymore.
Would it be enough for the monitor to know where the smudges are (and how would it know that?) or would it also need to know exactly where you were viewing from?

How hard would it be for the monitor to clean itself anyway?
They are here in the Phoenix area too and I have not seen and issues with them. However, we are blessed by sunny weather 99% of the time. I think the biggest challenges will be having them drive in adverse weather conditions present throughout the rest of the country, such as blizzards, hail, torrential rain, dense fog.
Actually the ScarJo hooha begs the question 'who owns the voice that sounds like you?'
It feels like risk mitigation to me. With all the interconnected aspects of a car the repair might be reasonably priced or might not. If the insurance company just "pays for the repair" then they've committed to either price, or even if they have a limit then they might reach the limit and still need to replace the car on top of it. Or the car might get repaired but have some issues, and there's no good way to just say "this car isn't as good as before the accident, but here's $1000 to make you whole".

Instead they declare the car totaled and recoup what they can on the other end. If you want to actually _keep_ your totaled car you'll have to pay for it, because it _does_ have value. I had a car "totaled" when it was rear-ended, but it was still drivable and I would have liked to keep it, do some minimal repairs, and just accepted the wonky back end. But to keep it I would have received something $3,000 less on a $10,000 car and it didn't seem worth it.

I don't know if the car was chopped up and helped make other cars whole, or vice versa. Some part of it ended up on a discount used car lot. And that's probably fine. Cars are kind of fungible and declaring a car "totaled" is just a way to take advantage of that and seems like a legitimate efficient-market approach.
The company that built the K-car is now going to sell a 25K jeep? Oh dear.

>highly qualified people that countries like Germany are begging to import

Begging isn't enough to get you the best people. You need to pay them well first since "begging" doesn't pay rent. You also need to respect them and give them a high status in society, not treat them like second hand citizens because they don't speak your language well enough and are struggling to navigate your (often discriminatory) bureaucracy.
To be fair Wikipedia has over 60 million pages and this is for 300+ languages. But yeah, the value shows that they might not be using the cheapest service out there.
People join Goldman because it opens doors to other higher paying jobs.

If they don’t like it they can relocate to other financial services jobs in other locations, make less money, but have more discretionary income to spend on houses. Everyone can’t work at the most prestigious companies or life in the most prestigious zip codes.

Alternatively maybe Goldman should open tech and investment banking jobs in Poughkeepsie.

I've been really curious about BEAM languages but never made the leap. How well does it manage heterogeneous compute? I'm used to other languages making me define what happens on CPU vs GPU and defining cross-machine talk around those kinds of considerations.

What parts of that does elixir (and company) allow me to not write? Is there a good balance between abstractions when it comes to still maybe wanting control over what goes where (heteregeneity)?

Super curious and kinda looking for an excuse here :)

It's probably a mistake to arrive at a conclusion in either direction based solely on anecdotal evidence. Unless the conclusion is specifically just for one localized area being observed, as opposed to extending those conclusions to all bookstores everywhere.
Internal sever error :(
If true, then why is he still the CEO? Lying to the board is a big red flag. In particular when it is withholding material information.

The whole OpenAI company structure is suspect to say the least. Having a dishonest person at the helm does not help.
YouTube is a great resource for instructional videos on how to do stuff like that and fix things around the house. Lots of things.
In the same vein, I don't ride uber often but when I do I often find that drivers leave their windows closed and car's air circulation turned off completely. When I ask for "a bit of airflow" they apparently hear it as "I'm too hot", so they turn AC to maximum power.

I'm not sure whether this reflects their own preferences, what they think customers want, or if they are just completely oblivious.

Actually I'd rather the Chinese not saturate the market with their underpriced garbage and destroy what little manufacturing jobs the US has left, just so you can own an AliExpress EV.

If only I could find one on the local car lots that where under that price... Instead the local car dealers all have those cars tricked out, then it becomes a question, pay for that with all the bells and whistles (which I don't want) or buy the SUV that is the same price that they do have on the lot?
Thanks for the answer.

Wikipedia has a lot of tables so I was wondering if content-aware sentence chunking would be good enough for Wikipedia.

I mean it’s no longer commonplace, and rarely advice, and rarely taught, not that it’s impossible.
Vesting for each grant starts at one year and is monthly after that. So you're really only waiting one year for the first big chunk of stock to be liquid. 400k TC at Google means that you have 400k (pre-tax) liquid at the end of the year (depending on the stock price, which has historically gone up).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CS_gas

CS gas and pepper spray - capsicin extract - were the two suspected substances.

CS gas and the solvent it's in are incredibly toxic, and are known to be toxic. It can cause heart, lung, and liver damage in acute exposure. Degrading kids health and possibly taking years of their life expectancy deserves more accountability than an "oops, we'll do better next time!"

Beyond the original chemicals in the CS gas canisters, the chemicals likely change over time, oxidizing and possibly mixing with chemicals in the container, so who knows what additional toxic hazard the expired canisters might have in store?

Just brief exposure can result in sensitization, such that any future exposure could trigger something like an asthma attack or a huge inflammatory response.

Absolutely nothing about this is ok.

>>The source said it was not routine to deploy such a large amount of munitions in an area so close to civilian populations.

Heads need to roll, or it'll just happen again. A whole lot of people made some very bad choices. Cops should be the most accountable of all members of society, given their authority.

None of the cops involved should be trusted with anything more dangerous or complex than tying their shoes unless and until they can prove they've got any respect for the rest of society.

Would a faux skylight led panel serve this purpose? Windows occasionally must withstand driving rain, a roof must withstand falling rain (on whatever cadence your climate dictates, Florida vs California are wildly different environments for example). Broad strokes, water is the enemy and you’re attempting to avoid intrusion whenever possible.
Also an American and the same story. I have owned six "modern" (post 2000) vehicles and none cost more than $5000 and all have had very long and problem free lives with me. The only two vehicles I don't still own is a Dodge van that had an engine issue (owner fault) and a Mitsubishi that my wife's friend wrapped around a pole.
> it was becoming more and more clear that the only people who might benefit from the shots were those taking them

Do you have any evidence at all of that? AFAIK, none exist.

What exists is some weak evidence the vaccine severely reduced the transmission of the virus. I've never seen any study strong enough to be proof, but then this is extremely hard to measure (either way it goes).
There's pretty significant tax exemptions on SUVs [1] - so a big part of that "consumer choice guiding the market" is actually "the government's choice guiding the consumer's choice, guiding the market".

Given the size of automotive lobbying in the USA, you could reasonably extend that to "the automotive lobby groups guiding the government's choice, guiding the consumer's choice, guiding the market".

> as venues are pushing 90-100db

I went to a rather big multi-day outdoor rock show last year, and spent some time hanging out behind the FOH tent watching people work at various times because that's fun for me.

Hanging inside of the tent was a big, bright numeric LED display showing SPL, right by a big sternly-worded sign about the not-to-exceed level for the venue (which was, IIRC, 103dB).

For the headliners, I was regularly seeing 120dB -- and sometimes, 125dB -- presumably as measured somewhere around that point in space.

Choirs can get loud, too: I've read before that choir members can experience peaks of 110dB just from the sounds of their collective voices.

(Before IEMs became common, I worked extensively with a 5-piece band that had one aspect of their stage layout that they were absolutely unwilling to change, no matter how big or small that stage was: Each member had a "good" ear and a "bad" ear, and they considered it absolutely necessary to never be positioned so that their good ear was facing the drummer.)

Semiconductors are a cyclical industry. Undersupply followed by oversupply. Boom and bust. Feast and famine. But demand for semiconductors has gone up, albeit cyclically, for 6 decades. Not a trend I would bet against.

Every car will get AI chips, every laptop, every server, every phone, and many home appliances. And I expect people will eagerly upgrade their electronics to get the faster AI chips in the decade to come.
Oh, of course if you run Google-written software without modifications, you're not really controlling it. So if you want to control it, either go inside and tinker with the code, or - easier? - switch to a non-Google browser.

I thought this is rather obvious, at least for those worried about experience. Do you think all those who realize they're suffering from ads don't think about using non-Chromium browser?
You lesser people. Government officials and agents will need chat systems that are exempt, so they can officiate and agentize. Surely that's plain to see? Don't worry, they've promised not to use it to groom kids or anything.

In all seriousness, what prevents this from just being ignored and people using open source software? Is it that the EU will prohibit open source chat from being sold on the various app stores?
Probably something like the Mazda MX 30 which can be had like new for ~20k cuz no one wants a 100 mile range

However I am really looking forward to the MX-30 R-EV plug-in hybrid variant that is meant to come stateside this year, 50 mile EV range + a tiny rotary engine as a range extender to keep going after that.
It’s probably the brightness, too. Outdoors during the day under a big tree is brighter than basically any indoor lighting you see outside a movie set.

The original title was a bit too clickbaity: “What Is Really Going On With Charlotte the Stingray?”
Also confused. Thought it was that Rivian truck maker for a moment with the EV bent.

Turns out, apparently its actually Chrysler Group and Fiat S.p.A., who turned into Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. (FCA) in 2014, who then merged with Peugeot Société Anonyme (PSA Group) in 2021, and then did a name change to Stellanis.
