Please consider having fun with it or getting promoted over him.
It would be helpful if you were more concrete, otherwise there's no way to give meaningful answer.
When I’m recording (usually using the Rev app on iPhone if its not particularly sensitive or legally confidential information) I always start the human conversation with something like “hey so this call is recorded right? Thats what the message told me when I picked up. Just double-checking that we should consider this call to be recorded?”

I figure that it is completely legally unnecessary but it guarantees there’s an understanding between all human participants to expect a recording, which brings it in line with my own personality morality when conversing with an “innocent / relatively powerless human” (my morality exceeds the ethical and legal framework we operate in).
in high school computer lab we'd lock our friends computer and hold down the 'enter' button to get their account locked for 3 minutes

windows 11 (havent tried any others since vista) needs you to release the 'enter' key before it will try no password again
The full phrase is "vacation time in Europe".
Yep, with exactly the same semantics as perl5's 25+ years old 'my' -

foreach my $x (@input) {
push @callbacks, sub { $x };
}

works how you'd expect.

I was spoiled by this and driven nuts by function level scoping like python's and javascript's 'var', and the adoption of 'let' made me very happy.

My current annoyance with JS is its lack of -

my $foo = do {
...;
...;
<expression>
};

but there's a proposal for that, and the 'match' proposal (which would be glorious) depends on it on the basis it's a shoo-in, so I am very hopeful.

Note that I know:

let foo; {
...;
...;
foo = <expression>
}

already works but it's Not The Same (although significantly less upsetting than (() => { ... })() is ;).
These look really good, I love the style. Don't know if I'm interested in them as trading cards but posters or "stickers" with this style actually seem like a very cool idea. Instead of traditional paper stuff you get a display thing which you can change and make better or fit your taste more.
Oh, come on. Nuclear can't help us because it is too slow to be built out and too expensive today while all renewables technologies are cheaper and on a continued downward price trajectory.

New Nuclear won't matter. Keeping existing running is a no brainer.
Mocks aren't an anti-pattern. Anti-patterns are a "common response to a recurring problem, usually ineffective, risking being highly counterproductive". On the contrary, mocks are a common response to a recurring problem which are often effective and have no greater risk than a great many alternative testing methodologies. They do solve problems and they are useful. But like literally anything else in the universe: it depends, and they don't solve every problem.

You wanna know how to test without mocking? Use any kind of test. Seriously, just make a test. I don't care what kind of test it is, just have one. When you notice a problem your testing doesn't catch, improve your testing. Rinse, repeat. I don't care what kind of 10x rockstar uber-genius you think you are, you're going to be doing this anyway no matter what super amazing testing strategy you come up with, so just start on it now. Are there some ways of testing that are more effective than others? Yes, but it depends. If testing were simple, easy, straightforward and universal we wouldn't be debating how to do it.

(about 99% of the time I'm disappointed in these clickbait blog posts upvoted on HN. they are shallow and brief (it's a blog post, not a book), yet quite often dismissive of perfectly reasonable alternatives, and in the absence of any other information, misleading. it would be better to just describe the problem and how the author solved it, and leave out the clickbaity sweeping generalizations and proclamations)
The elderly forget. My dad forgets his login password every single time. He does a password reset to login to anything.
Fair point -- the delta to be considered is against the existing SaaS/cloud offering, not the old-school everything-local model.

That having been said, not being able to save a file you've worked on because you ran out of credits would be a serious issue.
By all reports, Skydio drones offer an excellent user experience.

The DJI Mini 3 Prop is currently $899, and Skydio can't manufacture something like that in the US, and sell it for that amount of money. But I bet they could make something comparable at a sale price of $1100-1300.

Allowing Communists to dump goods in our market is optional. I don't know that I support a ban on DJI products, I have a Mini 2: I like drones, but not enough to drop a couple grand on a Skydio 2 (and note that they exited the consumer market, presumably because of the aforementioned price dumping making it infeasible to compete). I would be pissed off if it was permanently grounded. But at minimum I support tariffs which are heavy enough to give domestic industry a chance to compete on an even footing.

And given the evident relationship between drone technology and national security, I could be persuaded that a full ban is in the national interest. Perhaps (this is only sort of a joke) the NSA could release a full open-source jailbreak of every DJI product, and publish an API for the cloud components which any American compute provider could then offer.

Then block their servers. Let 'em know that we'll let them back in the country when Facebook can operate in China, and not before.
Frightening that there is someone out there calling themselves a CTO and offering CTO coaching who doesn't understand what unit testing is.
There is a wide gap between not wanting to be responsible for helping the poor and actively wanting the poor to fail. You're confusing the two.

This is not oligopoly, but the result of technology as an enhancer delivering more value to the leader.

E.g., in the 1990's vehicles for commercializing movies took off. Toys, fast-food tie-in's with well-timed ad campaigns and printed bags, etc.: all this technology took time to develop, but resulted in the major movies making more money from tie-in's than the box office. That results in more "producers", i.e., people dedicated to making commercial success out of stories, and the most successful of those can translate those skills to new artists (whether movie directors or pop stars) -- much like the Bush and Clinton political teams picked new horses to run for a decade or more. Their secondary offerings may be successful mainly because their producers are good, but that effect peters out with fashion fatigue.

The underlying intuition is that "popular" culture, by virtue of being many, many people, is somehow a test of reality, a stochastic scale. But any measurable effect is largely a function of followers - some fast, some slow - that reflect different types of network and investment effects.
> Are you seriously saying that you feel the way to get people to help your cause is to screw them over?

No, I'm saying that we don't need rich people to help our cause, because non-rich people are the super majority.

> And yet, they must be. The actual rich are immune from house occupations. Their houses are either in private enclaves where you can't possibly get in, or in the case of standalone houses they have private security coverage where you can't possibly get in.

There's a lot of rich between "private enclave with security force" and middle class that can't afford a second home to sit empty that you're ignoring.

Sure, multibillionaires are above it all. But I think you're drastically underestimating how rich one has to be to have even one empty home. If you own the home you live in you're already on the upper side of middle class. And if someone breaks into the house you live in, there's no place in the world where that person has legal protections.
hey folks, i'm the creator of htmx

this isn't much of a feature upgrade, but we took the opportunity to clean up a few things and drop IE support, which will help us slim down the library over time

hopefully it's an easy upgrade for most htmx users, upgrade guide is here:

I‘m not sure if it’s really the pace of change or if many people just cannot focus on something for more than 10 or 15 minutes anymore. I‘m aware many people learn from YouTube videos and short tutorials, but I often find what they is quite shallow.
Took me a while to find an estimate of the actual average efficiency of ICE cars, and the number I found was “about 20%”.

Some places claim the most fuel efficient vehicles are about 40% (again, on a good day in testing conditions).

EVs on the other hand are up around 87% or higher.
I tried to block Adobe from automatically billing my account for a monthly fee, Adobe phone support said if I couldn't tell them the email that was billing my bank account, they wouldn't cancel it. I then told the bank to block further billing. Then the billing name started changing on my statement: Adobe -> Adobe Inc. -> Adobe Creative C -> Adobe Stock, so the "new name(s)" didn't get blocked. The bank eventually refunded a portion because I had called the first time. Wonder if the bank would have a claim against Adobe in addition to the FTC?
I definitely remember reading some folk etymology that claimed they were so named because the buttons affected each other despite being physically separate, "as if by radio".

"Like buttons on a car radio" seems more plausible to me however.

> Capital expenditures also have their own utility curve

This a function of the use-cases. For simple use cases like document summarization, or speech-to-text, we might already be there. There are already applications where using something like gpt-3-turbo or a local-llm vs gpt-4 make more economic sense. The marginal improvement in reasoning or extra knowledge don't provide benefits relative to the inference costs. And you can see this playing out with Mistral, Anthropic and Google also providing models at different cost/complexity tradeoffs.

But .... if we get _new_ use cases, emergent use cases, from bigger models, there will be continued value in chasing that frontier. Reasoning is still poor in many areas. The ability to learn outside of application specific memory patterns that store state is largely unexplored. We are still far from AGI and there is a ton of value to be minded between current systems and a superhuman capabilities
Jeremy -- thank you for sharing this on HN. And thank you also for everything else you've done for the community :-)

I agree with you that one of the biggest issues -- maybe the biggest issue -- with the proposed legislation is that it fails to differentiate between "releasing" and "deploying" a model. For example, Jamba was released by AI21, and Llama3 was released by Meta. In contrast, GPT-4o was deployed by OpenAI and the latest/largest Gemini was deployed by Google, but neither model was ever released! We don't want legislation that prevents researchers from releasing new models, because releases are critical to scientific progress.

However, I'm not so sure that lack of understanding by politicians is the main driver of misguided legislation. My understanding is that politicians prefer to consider the opinion of "experts" with the most "impressive" pedigrees, like high-ranking employees of dominant tech companies, most of which don't want anyone to release models.
Windows has managed to maintain an amazing amount of backwards compatibility. Sometimes that means decisions that seem odd at surface level. I would not be surprised if there is some corner case where changing the current behavior means something else breaks.
> I think the military perspective at this point is that they want drones at all price points.

I think you're 100% right here.

It may seem absurd, but something that can take out a main battle tank would be well worth $20,000. An M1A2 Abrams costs $24 million. The latest model Russian T-90 is around $4 million. A Chinese Type 99 is around $2.5 million. The asymmetry is clear.

Some of that $20,000 is making sure it works reliably under any conceivable weather conditions, after it's been stuck in a storage container at +50 C/-30C for weeks or months, etc.

On the other hand, if you're just doing reconnaissance, maybe you'd rather send a swarm of 20 $1,000 drones instead (in an attempt to overwhelm the enemy's countermeasures).
Now lets get Razer onboard. My $4000 laptop I bought last year is now just a brick. Once it was out of warranty just immediately began to overheat. Repasted it myself, bought it a giant fan to sit on. Nothing ever helped. Thanks Razer!
Pardon my naivety but why was Typescript chosen as the interface for writing transactional workflows? I can't help but think that a backend language that is more popular for those use-cases would be more relevant.

Maybe the idea is that those who are using those other languages may have other workarounds already?
What a scam! I have seen companies who offer to check your subscriptions and automatically cancel for you.
> imagine if you were a filmmaker, tree trimmer, real estate agent, etc, who had bought many drones for your business.

Unfortunately I suspect this group is already quite small due to the existing heavy-handed regulation of drones for anything other than recreational use. Or they're at least "under the table."

You need a drone pilot's license to legally fly a drone for anything other than recreational use. This has already decimated a lot of the most direct and interesting use cases for us.
I didn't actually dare to subscribe due to horror stories I've heard about Adobe.

Luckily Open Source tools have been sufficient for my limited needs. Like Krita, Inkscape and Gimp.

COM [1] was a solution to these problems thirty years ago.

In-process it's just function calls. Cross-process COM has automatic marshalling for standard types ("automation types") or you can define custom marshalling that does whatever you want.

WinRT [2] is a more modern version. It builds on COM and (among other things) provides the basis for the latest UI frameworks in Windows.

>Sheriffs answer to no one but voters. Consequently, they often answer to no one.

Isn't this article just a criticism of American democracy? Surely a county sheriff isn't worse than a mayor, governor, or president. They're definitely not worse than county commissioners, city council members, or state/federal congressmen.

There are 3k+ sheriffs in the US. It is easy to find a sheriff of every flavor in a group that large.
I’ve been wondering about this too.

In addition to signing documents with Preview, MacOS/Linux/Windows can all print to pdf / pdf/a, and the Notes app on iOS includes a camera-based document scanner that exports to OCR’ed PDF.

I’ve been making PDFs with LaTeX, for decades, but those other tools are more mainstream, and work fine. I can’t imagine why anyone would pay for acrobat these days.

Why does everyone think that NVDA currently simply sits on its laurels? I bet they are heavily investing and innovating, perhaps creating another CUDA-level software stack. I don't understand why people tend to think META, MSFT et al. are closing the gap while NVDA just sits pretty.

Low effort doesn’t mean zero effort. 19 states legalized home cultivation and many people are perfectly happy with what they get with minimal effort. Even in states where they can legally buy a higher quality product.

> not be a plant of any value what so ever

It’s long been a perfectly viable strategy to plant pot on public lands and then come back for harvest. That doesn’t mean people are tossing seeds randomly, but lower rewards are balanced by lower risks. Some customers are always interested in savings cash even for a terrible product.
My local gym ducked my calls, ignored my emails, and then after finally canceling, actually restarted my membership two months later. Gyms thrive on those bad with finances, people who don’t know what services they subscribe to.
Currently I don't even know that "most innovative" really matters, compared to "being able to deliver".

Between being by far the biggest market, AND demanding technology transfer here and there, AND using local (chinese) manufacturers and builders (even in some infrastructure export projects!), AND being ready to provide funding for export - well, that's bound to result in decent market competitiveness.
Current zinc-air hearing aid batteries (e.g. #675) are 1500+ WH/L. They are not rechargeable though. They are basically miniature fuel cells. They take in outside air to react with the chemistry inside, so they weigh a tiny bit more after they are used up. The energy density is impressive though.
That’s not true, you can also expand to new markets. For example Adobe doesn’t really have many offerings for musicians.
There is no magic involved, so there will still be errors and limitations.

One of the most significant aspects of this issue is too often ignored. Inevitably, people focus on the _location_ aspect of this topic, and its impacts. Equally significant in my experience is the fact that my workspace at home is significantly superior to the toy office at work. Work offices have been undergoing constant degradation for decades now. Today, an "office" is too frequently a randomly-assigned tiny surface with cheap-as-possible computer & peripherals, in a loud space, from which I interact with team members over video.

Imagine being a machinist where you get barely serviceable tools at work, versus a fully-equipped custom workshop at home. For me, this isn't about Covid and recent events — it's the end state of a work environment that has seen decades of dismantling.
You've probably read that the biggest reason people leave their job is because of their boss. Not the company. Not the work. Their boss.

Now you're learning why.
These are self reported numbers, and contradict the numbers from the federal reserve, individual banks, and credit card companies. My main problem with the claim is this. If credit were required by the majority of people, how can it be the case that fewer than 50% of people maintain a balance on any card?
I bet this was between 2018 and 2022? Yeah, that used to be the case, not anymore though, there's literally a big fat "Setup Console Offline"-button on the latest firmwares (since at least a year back I want to say), if you somehow find one with older firmware you can simply boot it into recovery mode and update firmware before setting it up for use.
Sounds quite a bit like wake turbulence. As planes move through the air, they leave air vortices called “wake” (much like a boat does in water). This effect is worse when airplanes are slow, like when they’re coming into land. Pilots try to avoid each other’s wake, but it’s invisible and sometimes you do hit it if the controller vectors you close behind another aircraft.

It produces a strong rolling motion and can even flip small airplanes.

There is an FAQ. They sat the emails get decrypted in your browser, or in the "bridge" which runs locally.

Your decrypted key isn't sent off your local computer. So it's not a case of waiting for you to log in and swipe your key. They never get the key.

In the past you could have a separate login password and decryption password. You still can in the advanced settings if you want.
That's a design bug, not a user problem.

Why are zero-length passwords treated as login attempts for a user with a non-zero password? Why are a cluster of login attempts permitted in such quick succession? There's so many obvious fixes here for what is apparently a common issue.
> you ever want cheaper Adobe subscriptions is to cancel your sub and they’ll send you repeat offers at lower prices up to 60% off

That used to be true at NYTimes and WaPo. But new WaPo management does the reverse:

- offer to keep at same price? No?
- offer to re-up at 50% more? No?
- offer to re-up at 100% more? No?

With the election coming up, they're determined to raise prices, and they know all they need to about you.
Yea I briefly glance over and struggle to recall what I bought. I was going to dispute a charge that was 15 minutes apart and a few Pennies different for the same grocery store. Then I realized it was the gas station outside owned by the grocery store.
From Wikipedia "This philosophical razor advocates that when presented with competing hypotheses about the same prediction and both theories have equal explanatory power one should prefer the hypothesis that requires the fewest assumptions"

Both hypotheses make the same prediction and have equal explanatory power. I think just one article where they say "may have been" in the title is not enough evidence to overrule occams principle in this case.

> a toolmaker can't be making more money then the companies using those tools to make money.

In the historical gold rush, you also had speculators funding prospectors. That might just be personal savings, friends and family or investors. Similar to the current AI rush, you have VCs and corporate profits from companies pivoting into AI that, theoretically, could all go bust. But there still is a whole lot of capital to expend even if the investments are never profitable.
You could still use stubs instead of mocks in those cases.
It looks beautiful!!
