> ...a 30 minute back and forth for partial credit for missing food when they used to just issue you a full refund in 30 seconds.

Back when I regularly had to go to an office, my coworkers and I tried out a bunch of the delivery services. The one we settled on was Bite Squad because they apparently paid their drivers as actual employees[0], so an hourly wage and benefits, and had actual performance standards. If an item was left off, Bite Squad would dispatch a driver to go get it and bring it to us.

All of the contractor-based services would just refund for food and be done with it. The problem is, that isn't what we wanted. If we'd wanted money instead of food, we wouldn't have ordered. The service expects us to do the management of additional attempts instead of it being part of their service.

Ever since Bite Squad left Seattle, and especially now that I don't have to go to an office more than once or twice a month, I've not bothered with the food delivery apps.

0 - This was pre-pandemic, before Bite Squad "overhauled" their business model.
AFAIK the mobile versions are different, since the whole UX is designed for touch control and small screens. It's not full featured, there's a bunch of stuff that you can't do, or are very hard to reach, but that's the limitation of mobile control.

While you technically can run it on ChromeOS through the Android emulation, it's still a mobile app and you're far better off running the web version.
I really underestimated the turtle package.
You are talking like any normal consumer is going spearfishing with his smartphone. They're not. Being able to deal with some rain at most it's all it's needed for normal use and was achievable by electronics with replaceable batteries for decades.

Any more than that is just falling for the spiel given by companies known to be hostile to de idea of prolonging the lifetime of their products.

We don't use an LLM in real-time production yet (although what you described is coming).
At the moment I used one to help classify different communities/etc into filters, and we use ImageNetV2 for image classifying. That said, the way it's set up now the prompt is specific to each parent, and so if a parent breaks their prompt, it will only break their kids internet. If anything, I'm more worried that parents will accidentally break the prompt and there isn't currently a good way for parents to debug it or even know until their kid complains to them.

The other big concern with our LLM (at least in my opinion) is that it's not fast enough. Decrypting each post, sending to our LLM with a gRPC call, and then getting the response back just takes too long. It's certainly going to be possible to do, but I need to launch and start getting customers before I can properly tackle that problem.

Also we add a root certificate to the host machine, which is how we get around HSTS. It's also why we don't have a phone client yet, as it's much harder to add root certificates to an iPhone than it is to add them to a windows or linux machine.

I will say though I also got around three different child monitoring systems when I was a kid lol. Unfortunately the prize was a porn addiction.

>Additionally, a horizontal stabilizer in the back needs to be pitched down relative to the wings, creating downwards lift, pitching the plane up.

Naturally, this is a fundamental source of inefficiency.

This is something I appreciate about the Lilium aircraft: they use canards to avoid this problem. Their latest design places the rear wing slightly above the canard[1], minimizing the downwash disadvantages[2] inherent in many canard configurations.

Speed. You'll always stall if you go too slow to get enough lift. Putting the flaps down increases lift and drag and lowers the stall speed.

As for why the article mentions decreased lift whereas flaps down increases lift, that's maybe a bit more complicated. Lift vs. Angle Of Attack is a curve that tops out at about 15°.[0] Flaps often go to steeper angles than that, but I'm not sure if lift actually starts to decrease again in that scenario. Certainly adding a curve to the back of the wing (flaps) isn't quite the same as changing the angle of the entire wing.

Hinduism is a new term. We follow Sanatana Dharma and our basis is Vedism.

Judaism..as it is now.. wasn’t always monotheist. And it evolved over time. And not as old as Hinduism.

Texts and inscriptions and temples from the Vedic period are much older. And that’s why there has been a systematic purge, revisionism, faulty translations and suppression of civilizational history. Hinduism..as it’s known now..is and was decentralized giving it the ability to survive and thrive millennia.

While it can be called many names and has been co opted, our source text is common to all who call themselves Hindu and that is the Vedas…our religious text.

The Lilium Jet does not appear realistic to me, most VTOLs barely fly in the best of circumstances. It seems more like a scam to me. Not my field so I could be wrong but the added efficiency of a canard is small change compared to the other challenges involved.
> Senate Bill 1327 would tax Amazon, Meta and Google for the data they collect from users and pump the money from this “data extraction mitigation fee” into news organizations by giving them a tax credit for employing full-time journalists.

This excuse making gets quite tiring. If the data collection bad practice, outlaw it.

There isn't one side that's the villain here. News companies do exactly the same sort of data collection to help support their ad business.
To help me understand you, imagine if AI were as good as it is but somehow not trained on anyone else's material without their explicit permission. Would everything be OK then? It's still undermining an indie author or musician's ability to earn money from their own work.

That's kind of what other human creators collectively are. They're competition and they are the reason indie artists have trouble making money. There's too much supply. But that's a good thing for people in general! If AI acted like that, it would be even better, and perhaps artist would no longer be a job but more like a hobby - like gardening or making model railways.
Right, thats why they give openai gobs of money for their llm research

If it is vital to national security -- not disagreeing there -- it is paramount for everything and everyone to be investigated. You want the defense of NATO and the U.S. to be in the hands of people that can not deliver a plane?

Time for heads to drop and roll, and FBI (or any applicable agency, including DoD) to do a cleanup. That ideally should happen via the Courts too, but placing this under the rug is like inviting known enemies to utilize this weakness.
I can speak with confidence that its hanging on by a thread. IBM has bean counted the development and support staff to the point that entire critical sections of the OS have maybe one, two people working on it. Bugs take months or years to be addressed and security flaws sometimes take just as long to get patched.
Not to mention features that were new 20 years ago get the IBM red tape and beuracacy treatment and never get implemented, alienating even more customers.

COMAC has entered the chat

Although the C919 (B737/A320 clone) is not feasible even in theory anywhere outside China until various regulators approve it, and in the double-aisle market the C929 is a long, long way off.
[Repeating a comment from a few years ago:]

When I developed my own coding font (Luculent), the compact sample that I ultimately came up with was:

// The five boxing wizards jump
#include <stdio.h> // <= quickly.
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
float il1[]={1-2/3.4,5+6==7/8};
int OxFaced=0xBAD||"[{(CQUINE";
unsigned O0,l1,Z2,S5,G6,B8__XY;
printf("@$Hamburgefo%c`",'\n');
return ~7&8^9?0:l1|!"j->k+=*w";
}

It has a pangram, lots of confusable pairs of characters adjacent to each other, opening brackets next to each other and near a pipe character, quotes and commas next to each other, lining operators (i.e., ->, += and <=), and every normal punctuation character on a US keyboard. It also happens to be a valid, though useless, C or C++ program.
Show HN: Mk – Interactive CLI Tool for Makefile and Taskfile.yml Commands
I’m excited to share mk, a command-line interface (CLI) tool designed to interactively execute commands from both Makefile and Taskfile.yml.
This tool aims to simplify the management and execution of build tasks, providing a user-friendly interface to select and run predefined commands.

Key Features:

- Interactive Command Selection: Easily choose and execute commands from your Makefile or Taskfile.
- Support for Remote Files: Load and run commands from remote Makefiles or Taskfiles.
- Compatibility: Works seamlessly with both Makefiles and Taskfiles.

You can install mk using go:

go install github.com/orangekame3/mk@latest

or via Homebrew:

brew install orangekame3/tap/mk

I’d love to hear your feedback and suggestions!
Fascinating, and persuasive that the legal landscape forms the end product as much as business or engineering decisions.

> The logic from Schumpeter to Trinko is direct. And yet, it’s also quite obviously wrong. From Boeing to Too Big to Fail banks, many examples, far beyond the CDK Global and Reynolds situation, where incumbents used their consolidated position to hinder innovation and lower quality, shows that Schumpeter’s thinking about commerce is both old and odd.

That’s one way to say it. But I wonder if Schumpeter’s theory is actually proven by the fact that these examples have failed.

I like it! I fiddled around for a couple minutes. The UI is surprisingly non-buggy. I like how the code editor treats lines as draggable widgets, and I like the limited syntax selection. Props for focusing on school licenses and making individual accounts free.

Just a couple thoughts:

- maybe use horizontal editor splits by default when the screen aspect ratio is less than 1 (ie. for vertical mobile screens)

- shouldn't `math` be treated like other namespaces in the `call` menu? Eg. formatted with ellipses like `math...`, and offering a menu of functions right after being selected?

- any plans to make more detailed/friendly error messages? Eg. "Type error, invalid function call" feels a bit useless for a beginner

- any real-world examples of programs that kids have written?

- any plans to convert seamlessly between Pickcode's language, Python, and JS? Essentially being different views of the same program, for when the kid is ready to try another language.

And a bit unrelated, but any thoughts on Mark Rober's take on code editors? https://youtu.be/1j1kAuqePJo?si=6GtQPVgsFgUtGPw-&t=1109
Obviously not as fleshed out or beginner-friendly as yours, but I think the tiered approach is interesting.
All of these electric VTOL urban air mobility things are hopeless. Various tech companies including google have taken a stab at them over the past two decades and none are anywhere close to entering service. Google shut theirs down. I really want them to work, but nothing gets past the physics/economics of batteries having piss poor energy density relative to fossil fuels and the massive inefficiency of small rotors. I think Boom has a better chance of flying than Wisk. Meanwhile, Uber Copter is up and running in NYC with regular helicopters.

- Golang for making the codebase easy to follow
Yeah, this is the most likely answer. The conspiracy theories are just-so and appeal to emotion, possibly even somewhat true, but it's far more likely the DOJ has very low confidence in their case and that Boeing's excuses/answers are basically legitimate (subcontractor + airline negligence accounts for many of the serious problems).

I'd love for it to go to trial for discovery to benefit the American public, but just doesn't seem like enough of a reason to do it.
> Every day, children who have no idea what they're talking about decide they're a Nazi or Socialist because they saw a meme online, and it's neither healthy for the child or good for our society to have this

Children also believe all sorts of stuff simply because their parents told them so. That doesn't seem healthy for the children or society either, especially if they can no longer look at opposing viewpoints because of evil 'products' like this.
> what are the downsides of having those commits?

In my experience, having to rebase on top of a branch with a lot of "lint" "quick fix" "let's try this" "oops, how about this" can be draining and sometimes lead to accidental code deletion.

I like squash merges because I know it was the author's intended change that I'm merging or rebasing onto.
Perhaps VTOL is entirely impractical and has no sizeable niche, but it appears Lilium is the least wrong out of all the existing VTOL physical layouts.

- No additional draggy/heavy structures for the VTOL components, they reuse the existing wings

- No large exposed props, which have noise and hazard concerns

- Propulsors are synergistically combined with the wing upper surface, enhancing lift during cruise

- VTOL mode actuators are synergistically combined with ailerons/elevators, reducing part count

- They have wings for efficient long-distance flight (surprisingly some don't!)

- Contingency ability for runway landing if the battery is too depleted

- The aforementioned canard advantage

If any of the VTOL schemes are workable (which is admittedly an open question!) it will be Lilium.

If AI stagnates, then some human will out-perform it and be able to sell their work. The AI won't be able to generate competitive work because it's stagnant at a lower level.

I'm not arguing free market is all positive, just pointing out that the whole reason people see free markets as a good thing is because they benefit people (consumers). They have downsides too but those aren't the reason they're popular. Nobody wants free markets so they can get poisoned more easily.
You should consider reading the article where the evidence against this is explicitly discussed in detail.
I don't think so, they're a set of principles to go off of as a way to classify.

In the case of a fresh chicken with nothing done to it but blended, then it would be a minimally processed food.

But if you take the blended chicken and add Water, Vegetable Oil (canola Oil, Corn Oil, Soybean Oil, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil), Enriched Flour (bleached Wheat Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Bleached Wheat Flour, Yellow Corn Flour, Vegetable Starch (modified Corn, Wheat, Rice, Pea, Corn), Salt, Leavening (baking Soda, Sodium Aluminum Phosphate, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Calcium Lactate, Monocalcium Phosphate), Spices, Yeast Extract, Lemon Juice Solids, Dextrose, Natural Flavors.

Then it is considered ultra-processed.

I do some retro work, and in order to debug a system (this was at a time when I knew less about this type of system) I once plugged in a Raspberry Pi Pico into a Z80 socket (not directly of course) and ran commands to read/write from/to memory/IO/ROM to see if I could find the problem. Makes you feel quite omnipotent :)

Course, my setup didn't really emulate the Z80 to run code, it just emulated its signals for a handful of instructions, which I instructed the Pico to do on demand via its UART. (Pictures and some code: https://blog.qiqitori.com/2023/02/two-raspberry-pi-picos-pre...)

It appears you’ve drunk the coolaid. I looked into it more and can now confidently say it’s a total scam. The stuff you’re talking about is window dressing.
I want to see charges levied against some specific individuals, not an amorphous corporation, in order to drive actual changes to individual’s behavior within said corporation.

The Chief Project Engineer, Michael Teal, would seem to be an appropriate person to be charged. It was his responsibility as the CPE to oversee the safe design and testing of the MAX. It was his responsibility to ensure that adequate engineering processes and resources were in place to assess the safety and certification impact of design changes that occurred as the design matured, in accordance with federal law. (14 CFR §21.93 if you care. Mr. Teal apparently did not.) It was his physical signature on the FAA form 8110-12 Application for Type Certificate that affirmed that all the data provided to the FAA to support certification was true and correct, and it apparently was not. If the Federal Government was defrauded, that would the smoking gun to indicate whodunnit.

Taken as a whole, the title guidelines feel more focused on titles of articles, rather than whole website titles. I can understand the complaint, but in my opinion this title is fine. The title just feels a little... bare without the note.
The UK is a bad example, as it adopted DAB (without the "+") far too early. DAB uses the MPEG-1 Audio Layer II "MP2" codec which is a very old codec, and while MP2 actually sounds pretty great at appropriate bitrates (256kb/s or higher), it was decided that quantity was better than quality and so the UK has a large number of poor quality, low bitrate, stations. Sometimes in MONO!

DAB+ uses HE-AACv2 which is much better suited to the bitrates that the UK has chosen to use, and in addition has much better error correction, reducing the "bubbling mud" effect that UK DAB listeners are all to familiar with.

The sad truth is that FM actually works very well, and can have extremely good audio quality, but capitalism must ruin all good things. The death of the BBC, as now seems inevitable, will be the final shame.
Nice.

Can you compare distances just like that on a 2D space post-UMAP?

I was under the impression that UMAP makes metrics meaningless.
Is this actually used anywhere? To me it feels like DAB and any putative DRM mechanisms have already been basically obsoleted by streaming systems like Spotify.

Are you having trouble with your allocation?
It's been forever since I used UARTs but I remember them being fairly resilient creatures. They center on the start bit and so as long as the clocks are close enough so you can sample the rest of the bits you should be good. Often the problem is configuration and not clock accuracy, e.g. how many stop bits or parity.
Maybe there's something about pizza. It's cheap, easy to produce at the needed scale, somewhat fungible, and can be delivered in a form that's tolerably edible.
That should just be your bad decision shouldn't be other people problems.
> Except they’re not storing copies of any of these.

Copyright isn't about storing copies. It's about making copies.

How do you think the AI companies extract all the statistical info about some content?

Spoiler: They copy that copyright protected work onto their machines where they do the data analysis.

At this point copyright was already violated. They usually never had the right to make copies for the purpose to extract statistics about it in the first place. "Because it's on the internet" doesn't give you such a license.

The current LLM "AI" only exists on the grounds of massive copyright volitions. It's the exact same situation as with Napster in the past.

No mater how often MS and friends hallucinate something about "fair use", it is not, and the only realistic legal outcome in the long run will be the same as for Napster: AI training is piracy. On a global "internet scale". (The only sad thing is likely nobody of the directly involved will end up in jail, like they do e.g. with people sharing torrents).
Let's face it, doing basically anything in the form factor of a smartphone just sucks. For "consumption" devices they're absolutely terrible UX even for consumption, with literally their only selling point being that they're portable and fit in your pocket. A disheartening technological regression.
> Literally every AI thing I've seen people use has got an interest taper off way before the free trial even ends.

Midjourney, Suno, Copilot, ChatGPT, Jasper, Luma, etc would all like a word with you.

I think the real problem here is that the barrier of entry to start a new "AI thing" is so low, you're often flooded with subpar services that give more recency bias toward "every AI thing I've seen people use has got an interest taper off way before the free trial even ends".
