This sounds like that story of the elder withdrawing $20 at the bank:

Elder: I want to withdraw $20 from my account.

Teller: You can withdraw $500 minimum here, or use the ATM for small change.

Elder: I'll withdraw $500 then.

Teller: Here you go. Anything else?

Elder: I want to deposit $480 in my account.
"יו"ר מפלגת העבודה ח"כ אהוד ברק, אמר אתמול כי אם היה פלשתינאי ובגיל המתאים, ייתכן שהיה מצטרף לארגון טרור. ברק אמר את הדברים בתוכנית "פגישה אישית" שתשודר הערב בערוץ הכבלים, בתשובה לשאלת המראיין גדעון לוי, מה הוא, שלחם בטרור הרבה שנים, היה עושה כפלשתינאי צעיר. ברק הוסיף, כי זוהי שאלה לא הוגנת מאחר וארגוני הטרור פועלים בצורה לא הומנית, חמורה ושפלה ועוסקים בהריגת אזרחים, נשים וילדים חפים מפשע, דבר שיש לגנותו ולפעול נגדו."

"ברק אמר אמש ל"הארץ", כי דבריו לא היו בגדר פליטת פה. "למיטב זכרוני יצחק שמיר אמר דבר דומה. בן גוריון, כשנדרש לתאר את עוצמת השנאההערבית נגדנו אמר דבר דומה, וגם דיין אמר דבר דומה. ההתעסקות התקשורתית בעניין הזה היא מגוחכת. מה רצו שאומר? שאם הייתי צעיר פלשתינאי שהווייתו מינקותו היא הוויה פלשתינאית, הייתי הופך להיות מורה בכיתה ג' בבית ספר עממי?" מהליכוד נמסר בתגובה, כי ברק ירד מהפסים, וכי אינו מתאים עוד לייצג מפלגה ציונית במדינת ישראל. "בדבריו ברק מעודד פלשתינאים בגיל המתאים
להצטרף לארגוני טרור"."

I need to find the actual interview if we want to be super precise. But either way, the way this is referred to in the Pro-Palestinian narrative that you're presenting here is incorrect.

Barak isn't saying that Palestinians have no other venue for rising against the "brutal oppression". He's just stating the fact that if he was a Palestinian, and grew up under that ideology, and was in the right age, he would probably be in those organization. He is not justifying that. The point I was making is that Israelis don't view Palestinians as inferior. They view them as wrong, brainwashed, driven by extreme ideologies, etc.

Israel is a democracy. It's not a "facade of democracy". It's not labelling all Palestinians as "human animals" though there were certainly a lot of heated statements and emotions after the Oct 7th attack on Israel. There is no Apartheid. It's armed to the teeth because its neighbours want to destroy it. Settlers in general can't shoot and kill children and get away with it though I do agree that there should be better law enforcement in the west bank (and ideally no settlers until its status is resolved). That's my perspective anyways which I think is well in line with the facts and reality.
Just in case it was not clear, my comment was about

> The reality is that the same thing, in effect, happens if you stop paying property taxes. The tax builds up, etc.

and in many places worse things will happen to you if you stop paying property taxes.

On the other hand as a solo dev `sudo apt-get install postgresql` plus a short tweak of your pg_hba.conf and a quick script to run pg_dump every night is about as much work as setting up a cloud service.

Managed databases provide a lot of useful features, especially if shit hits the fan. I'm not saying you shouldn't use them. But the work you put into reasonable self-hosted services and reasonable managed services often scale at a surprisingly similar pace.
What exactly is a good usecase for Copilot Pro (I'm assuming Recall will be powered by that in some form)? I'm on the free trial and I'm not finding it to be any more useful than the free version, and pretty similar to ChatGPT.

Lawyers, law enforcement, and three letter agencies everywhere are going to be extremely disappointed by this development.
I see both points but I have to agree with this one, especially if we’re talking small companies. A startup should outsource everything that is outside their core product (but not more than that), so they can focus on making their product top class.

The emperor directly mentions the atomic bomb in his address;
"Moreover, the enemy has begun to employ a new and most cruel bomb, the power of which to do damage is, indeed, incalculable, taking the toll of many innocent lives. Should we continue to fight, not only would it result in an ultimate collapse and obliteration of the Japanese nation, but also it would lead to the total extinction of human civilization."

He only tacitly mentions the battle situation;
"But now the war has lasted for nearly four years. Despite the best that has been done by everyone – the gallant fighting of the military and naval forces, the diligence and assiduity of our servants of the state, and the devoted service of our one hundred million people – the war situation has developed not necessarily to Japan's advantage, while the general trends of the world have all turned against her interest."

Are you actually familiar with how reentry causes deposition from a melting fin onto the lens of a camera.

I'm genuinely shocked by how you are wording your comments, but that may just be your writing style. Anything of the form of "could be solved..." it kind of ridiculous because the circumstances just happened for the first time yesterday. This isn't like the motorsports cameras that spin the lens or transparent protection 360 degrees to wipe off buildup.
Apologies for a delayed reply, but I concur, you made a very valid point for why my analogy wasn’t the best in that scenario.

It would only work if the person running the warehouse was an owner. But if they were an employee, like you suggested, then my take would be very obviously flawed.
Most knew you can do screenshots automatically, small number of people knew easy text recognition is widely available (I am not one for instance), but this lacks text indexing and AI-based querying. So this is as much a clone of Recall as a bicycle would be of Toyota RAV4.
the free social media app usage in a lot of east african countries is also a means of surveillance... ex (no data counted to your plan when using whataspp, instagram, messenger, facebook etc).
Diet studies can also fall into a similar trap.

Huge sample size, but all food intake is self reported, or a tiny sample size where test subjects were locked into a chamber that measures all energy output from their body while being fed a carefully controlled diet.

The later is super expensive, but you can be pretty confident of the results. On the flip side it also miss any conditions that only present in a small % of the population.

You can see this with larger dietary studies where out of 2 cohorts of 100 each doing different diets, 15 or 20% on each group does really well on some "extreme" diet (e.g. Keto) but the group on average has no unexpected results.

If your sample size is 5, it is quite possible none of your test subjects are going to be strong responders to, for example, keto.

So then the study deadline comes out "Keto doesn't work! Well controlled expensive trial!"

Meanwhile the large cohort study releases results saying "on average Keto doesn't work".

But in reality, it works really well for some % of the population!

Some non-stimulant ADHD drugs have a similar problem. If a drug only works for 20% of the population, you need to be aware of that when doing the study design.
Small computers like RPi make it easy to access the low-level peripherals such as SPI, which this small screen uses, and others like GPIOs. If your big-computer has such peripherals available to the OS, you can use them also. Before small computers, you could use the parallel port (and some small program) to talk to your own peripherals via the same low-level signalling.
Right there with you. I sent them feedback to that effect and hope everyone else does, too. Manufacturers need to hear this from us routinely.
Rural areas can be noisy, too, depending on the ecosystem: birds, frogs, crickets, and cicadas can all kick up quite a ruckus. One can get used to just about anything.
I've seen MaxAuthTries used for similar reasons, and of course fail2ban, but this seems like a nice improvement and it's built in which is probably a win in this case.
> "the author must build the model from scratch and so must see all the details"

This is not true. With any complex framework, the author first learns how to use it, then when they build the model they are drawing on their learned knowledge. And when they are experienced, they don't see all the details, they just write them out without thinking about it (chunking). This is essentially what an LLM does, it short-circuits the learning process so you can write more "natural", short thoughts and have the LLM translate them into working code without learning and chunking the irrelevant details associated with the framework.

I would say that whether it is good or not depends on how clunky the framework is. If it is a clunky framework, then using an LLM is very reasonable, like how using IDEs with templating etc. for Java is almost a necessity. If it is a "fluent", natural framework, then maybe an LLM is not necessary, but I would argue no framework is at this level currently and using an LLM is still warranted. Probably the only way to achieve true fluency is to integrate the LLM - there have been various experiments posted here on HN. But absent this level of natural-language-style programming, there will be a mismatch between thoughts and code, and an LLM reduces this mismatch.
This looks great! It instantly made me think of my favourite ever query editor, which was SQL Query Analyzer from SQL Server 2000.
I'm not aware that it can express any bounded computation. But such is irrelevant anyway: there is no function from the distributional structure of text tokens to reasoning. There is nothing to approximate, and this is a system trained just to approximate some presumed function: our mental capacities arent patterns in glyphs.

Whatever property you might imagine a transformer architecture to have (and it is vastly fewer than the set needed for general computation), the problem here is that it's being applied to approximate the structure of historical text data which isnt being generated from such a function.

Indeed, there is no function which generates text data, there's a very large number of independent generating processes that give rise to the distribution of text. The phrase "the war in ukraine" acquires a different semantics over 2010-2030 in a radically different way than, "I liked that film" does.

The capacities which produce distributions of text tokens are highly varied, complex, invovle a vast array of our mental processes, and so on. There's literally almost nothing in the distribution of text tokens that corresponds to any features of these processes.

The structure of language is conventional, and rests on our familiarity with such conventions. Otherwise, let's end all science, everything to be known about the world derives from how "e" occurs alongside "lectron"
The pope photo is not him pointing upward, he's doing the blessing. Imagine someone standing right in front of him and he's pointing two fingers at their head, then move to torso, then left shoulder, then right shoulder. Depending on the speed of the camera at that time, he might pose like that for a second just to take the photograph as if he's in the middle of the blessing someone. I've never seen priest doing it with one or three or four fingers.

Tldr: they're not pointing upwards, they're pointing to someone's head (the viewer of the painting/photography most likely)

I bet when they used one finger people were asking "me?" and then looked behind them to see if there is someone else. If priest uses two fingers it's obvious he's not pointing at you or someone behind you. It also helps if he points it little bit higher not just right between your eyes like a gun.

Corporate is never on the bleeding edge of Windows feature updates. They bring security updates first, but feature updates are at least one generation behind, maybe more waiting for Microsoft to fix bugs and doing their own regression testing, plus they get to choose wich features employees receive or are enabled by default via group policy. In other worlds, recall was never making it into any corporation anyway.
Is latency the same thing as duration? I think of latency as being more like a vector-with-starting-point (a “ray segment”?) than a scalar, it’s “rooted” to a point in time, so it doesn’t make sense to sum them.
You would just tailor your backdoor to not trigger unless a certain key sequence is performed.
What would prevent a virus from directly stealing the data it wants without going through this feature?
The luxury isn’t in the taste, it’s in the convenience. Sometimes I get hungry, but I didn’t plan ahead and I’m too busy to cook. Sometimes cooking isn’t an option, such as while traveling, or some mishap happens while cooking. Thus it’s nice to be able to have somebody else cook.

However, fast food has gotten mighty expensive in the past few years ($10+ for a combo meal feels obscene), and so I’m finding myself getting grab-and-go items like Lunchables at the grocery store instead of stopping at a fast food restaurant. Sometimes when I feel like spending more money, I prefer going to a sit-down restaurant where paying a few dollars more buys a better meal.
This is really neat. Have always wondered how these work under the hood / the algorithm behind them.

Would love a web version that's easily usable though; as much as I live in the terminal, just too much of a mental burden installing a new package.
> what would prevent a virus from just enabling it

If that occurs, the malware won't have access to months or years of data to sift through.
Amazing how airlines seem to operate their business on the principle of “what can we do to make our customers hate us even more?”
Fuel efficiency is absolutely a concern with regards to operating costs. The people that really need to haul things absolutely care about how expensive it is to run a vehicle.
> Homegrown probably means you're depending on tribal knowledge from a few core people who if they leave you're hosed.

there's so much complexity and tribal knowledge with cloud deployments that if tomorrow our cloud experts leave we're also very definitely hosed too, despite everything being documented thoroughly. I'm involved in a product that leverages a cloud-based metaverse system (Mozilla Hubs) that recently had organisational changes requiring us to change our hosting approach, and it's taking the better part of a year of work to understand its logic, for something that would have been a non-issue if homegrown & self-hosted.
Got it -- I appreciate the explanation.
I think it means they made some big mistakes.
Yeah this smells like promotion oriented architecture. I have a hard time believing that a logistics company that built DynamoDB and uses it extensively can make it work but uber cannot.

The 6m in savings does not properly account for things like ramping up new hires on some custom database, maintenance (what happens in 5 years when whatever language you wrote it in needs to be upgraded to a new version, or some dependency), and a host of other things.

Yes the cloud is expensive, but the entire point of it is that you are offloading all of that underlying maintenance/feature work to a team that only does that all day every day and is very good at it.

I mostly agree, but installing Windows is not as daunting of a task as it used to be.

It is also not uncommon for 'normal' gamers to use a custom built PC which would require installing Windows.

Maybe normal is the wrong word, but it would be a pretty quick and easy to understand guide to do this.
I just wanted to add something I didn't see mentioned in the article or the discussion. In the Christian tradition, figures are often portrayed with their pinky and ring fingers curled up, while the thumb, index, and middle fingers are extended. This is done to symbolize the holy trinity.
> Re image quality, beyond the resolution it looks like someone spent a while getting things lined up nicely?

I don't know. There are really good drone photographers. They have remote controls for all the settings, and remote viewing is also possible. They could have lined it up with the drone. Or made the photo with even higher resolution and cropped it to perfection. Or made hundreds of photos and selected the best.

Not saying it was a drone. But the "quality looks a bit high for a drone" is not convincing me.

> given you can see the beach with a car to the left of starship and land to the right it suggests the camera was looking south west whereas from the tower you'd be looking north west.

I think you are right. Now based on that I think it was probably not photographed from the integration tower.

There is a fourth place it could have been shot from: There is the crane holding up the starship. You can see it on this image of the same hoist operation: https://x.com/BocaChicaGal/status/1423629854877028355/photo/...

The reason I don't think it was shot from a fourth cherry-picker is because I can't see a fourth one in any of the photos. It seems they only had 3 up on that day and they were all in the frame.
Proofs are natural numbers via Gödel's encoding, or any other encoding scheme that you'd like (e.g. ASCII). The sentence "PA is inconsistent" can be stated in the language of PA and it means "there is a number that encodes a valid proof from the axioms of PA to a contradiction (e.g. 0 ≠ 0)". This sentence is either true in all models of PA (in which case PA would be inconsistent, which we don't think it is), or it is true in some models and false in others - it can't be false in all models because otherwise, by completeness, there'd be a proof of PA's consistency in PA which is what the second incompleteness theorem rules out.

The reason why this is not a category error is because of the self-referentiality of strong enough systems of logic.
'What has been, it is what will be, And what has been done, it is what will be done. So there is nothing new under the sun.'

Nicely done. We used to print birthday banners and pictures using EBCDIC & ASCII on continuous-paper band- then dot-matrix printers, in a very similar fashion, recognizing the 'density' of characters, once printed.
> And who are you

A paying customer of Bartender.

> to slander

It is not slander to say you distrust someone.

> a named person

Ben’s name was already public. Bartender was published under “Surtees Studios”, after all. Ben has also appeared in at least one podcast. Trusting Bartender meant trusting Ben, the developer, the person.

> for selling his own business that he created

That’s not what’s in question. No one is blaming Ben for selling Bartender, the complaint is that it was done in secret. And it would’ve continue to be a secret were it not for a feature in MacUpdater that someone noticed.

> It is an icon utility.

No, it is not. It is an app that requests Screen Recording, Accessibility, and Location permissions to do its job. Thus it is an app which requires a high degree of trust. That the new owners added an analytics framework to, and who knows what else. This case is awfully similar to when a developer sells a browser extension to someone shady because the profit is in the user-base.
without seeing an actual data file created by recall, i would expect it to quickly become large.

if so, i would not keep it on a system drive, when you can store it externally, to be plugged in when the owner feels they actually need recall data, and left physically out of band when its wise to do so
With that said, though, there are also tons of inexpensive ways to output SPI or various other serial protocols from just about any device with a USB port, like your full-sized computer: https://www.adafruit.com/product/2264

The RPis and friends just optimize the workflow - theres nothing particularly magic about they way they implement SPI or GPIO, they just have it out of the box because its such a common way to extend hobby computer boards.
