I can't really say I know whether the outcomes are good as I won't be told to what extent the output makes it into production models, and I don't even always know which company it's for. But I know at least some of it is being used for "general" models. I do more code-related work than general purpose as it's the work I find most interesting, but the highest paid contract I've had in this space so far is for a general-purpose model that to my knowledge isn't available yet, for a model from a company you'd know (but I'm under strict NDA not to mention the company name or more details about the work).
The main reason to not have it is that unless you’re out of cellular range or has no data quota left, it’s just worse than just streaming the same stations over the internet, which also offer more content as running FM stations is expensive.

Even though older iPhone baseband chips had FM receivers, you’d still need break it out and deal with the antenna setup, with the approach taken by others requiring wired headset and shenanigans in the headphone port. That’s more BOM, and user resistance to wireless headphones or newer models whose baseband chips cut the feature.

It used to be a somewhat common feature in phones (including smartphones from other brands), but it usually had quite “eh” reception. And with transitions to DAB, the feature becomes unusable without DAB decoders which I’m sure someone is claiming royalties for.

Senior full-stack dev (lean more towards devops->backend than backend->frontend, but I can still sling some React components together and reduce your JS payload size). Lately I've been loving Stimulus Reflex and playing with a lot of micropython/ESP32/IoT stuff.

I excel at figuring out how to solve problems at all levels of abstraction (including what level of abstraction you should use), getting a solution in place, and then figuring out the feedback loops to iterate on that solution. I'm the senior engineer that knows that most coding is coming to an understanding of what problem you are trying to solve. Sometimes the most impactful code is the code you don't write.

Trying to change the world, still parsing the source code. I've been programming on the web since 1995, had a first career as a social worker and policy statistician, and have worked full-time as a programmer for almost a decade now.

Especially enjoy API and system design, integrating with crappy systems, user research, and really weird bugs. Make a decent PM in a pinch, but would prefer you have great PMs.

Will give you more looks if you can tell me why what you are doing makes the world better, but you've got to really believe it in your heart.
Why is that a far greater problem?

This is a really interesting ruling for American politics. On one hand, Trump appears to have considerable immunity from his actions as president. On the other hand, Biden also appears to have considerable immunity from his actions as president.
I learned from a book called "Chi Running", there's similar book if you search for "barefoot running".

The book "Born to Run" is also educational about the natural running gait for humans, as we didn't wear special "performance" shoes for running until the 1960s.
Not a joke, ChatGPT does 90% of my Hugo code.
That's great for Colorado, too! Wyoming's failure to promote higher education is to Colorado's benefit! Also, CO will probably reap the benefits of the solar plant.
Makes sense.

My comment was kind of off the cuff, and had more to do with my personal likelihood of committing time, not any technology reason. I wrote the first part before I had seen the FAQ entry. That answer shows that the team has given due consideration of whether those yaks are worth shaving.

Either way, I'll be keeping tabs on the project, because I love the idea of a Firefox-as-it-should-have-been project.
Naively, I'd probably do approx age of civilization, lifespan of dominant species, and subjectively how technologically advanced the dominant species are.

If I could cheat and use bit twiddling to combine some into the same number, I'd probably like to capture things like average temperature, number of species, etc.

I dont think the assumption is perfection. I think the assumption is that a decent candidate should be able to come up with at least one thing they like about a company or look forward to when given a completely blank slate to work with.
Also tire pollution is a solvable problem without mass collective action, whereas climate change is going to require not just any solution but every solution in order to have a meaningful impact. It's the kind of problem where there's no silver bullet, just a lot of hard work ahead of us.

This is such an obvious missing feature in HTML. I wonder why we don't have <include src="header.html"> yet.
Maybe. My point is that there wasn't really an attempt at solving those things locally first. They just went straight to cloud with the reasoning you mentioned.
To add to the complexity - for certain things region and location matters. There are lots of good places with plenty of water to grow cotton. There are lots of bad places to put solar panels.

Taxes and prices are the tools we are supposed to be using to deal with tradeoffs. Blanket bans or regulations generate lots of externalities. Where water is scarce it needs to be expensive. We need to tax carbon, not just subsidize batteries.
Ask HN: Have I lost my search-fu?
I recently was trying to find a music video: Dizzee Rascal's "I Don't Need A Reason" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlzgDVLtU6g).

However, I couldn't remember the name of the artist (Dizzee Rascal) or the name of the song (I Don't Need A Reason). However, I could remember tons of other details:

- I remembered the lyrics "eyes on me" and "all eyes on me" happening frequently throughout the song

- I remembered the Victorian themed costumes

- I remembered some of the specific looping clips such as the shotgun shooting the clay pidgeon and the house of cards falling down

- I remembered the disturbing way that people's left and right eyes would move out-of-sync

- I remembered everyone in the video was black and that the main character was not African American based on his accent.

Despite trying many, many combinations of this information for over hour, it was only via a Reddit "tip of my tongue" post that I could ultimately find the video. I was unable to find it with a search engine.

Prior to this I would have thought search engines were good enough that a query like "music video eyes on me victorian looping clip house of cards shotgun" would have surfaced this as the #1 result.

But now I can't tell if search engines have just gotten much worse or if I just haven't been keeping up with search-fu techniques. Anyone have similar experiences?
Plain HTML is pretty simple and powerful too. I don't really have a dog in the fight because I don't have a website, but I don't think it's unreasonable that some might find it easier to just write HTML by hand.
Correct. I don't see a huge amount of use for ~20MHz (probably less) of very long range spectrum. Potentially for smart meters and other IOT stuff, but current cellular networks deal with that pretty well (and there are other alternatives available). Plus I don't know much equipment that could use it at least out of the box so it is going to be fairly custom and very expensive.

Integrity Constraints and Business Value
Yeah I feel like the article glosses over the fact that PQ is not about crypto flexibility but specific crypto flexibility that is immune to a hypothetical QC and a lot is sacrificed to achieve that goal (namely signature sizes and/or in some cases performance).

And no, you shouldn’t be using RSA but they completely gloss over that we have very very good ECC standards that in no way seem to be suffering the same problem as RSA (ie needing to regularly increase the key size) which is why afaict everyone has pretty much switched to ECC signatures unless they have some legacy reason.
I've had some Jekyll and Middleman sites around for ten or more years and it's fine. Now and then something breaks and needs fixing. The Ruby 2 to 3 transition involved breakage, but nothing too bad.

Certainly beats having to change the header or the footer in a thousand pages, or headers getting out of sync!
Canadian province and territory welcome signs
The feature list looks great, but it looks like it's trying to bite off too much at once.

- Supporting a particular repo type is an engineering smell (over-complicated/over-opinionated/tightly-integrated); this should be repo-design-agnostic
- The "dmno service" is also biting off too much, this should not be a concept inherent to the configuration library
- Schemas should be optional
- Data types are fine, but get complicated, especially when mapping between different data formats/containers/transports; it's probably better to start with only a couple types and grow them over time if needed
- Inter-service dependency management is also too complex for this solution
- Plugins are a good idea
- Three different package types? Complexity...
- The security features are great

I get that you're trying to sell a product, and so having a big kitchen sink makes it more attractive to buy, but it makes for more complicated solutions which then annoy users.

I think of it more like a demo and also a way to gather data while allocating the costs to the tourist.
"Of course, one big concern is that everybody is trying to standardize cryptosystems that are relatively young. What if the industry (or NIST) picks something that’s not secure? What if they pick something that will break tomorrow?"

If information remains interesting to an adversary long-term, they can always archive classically ciphered text and apply future hardware and algorithmic advances to cracking it.

This is why "post-quantum" cryptography may well be "quantum cryptography". QC must be broken at the time of transmission for an adversary to obtain any information at all. If you're trying to communicate something that will remain sensitive long-term, with QC you aren't betting against the future producing something surprising.

QC already works, it's getting cheaper and faster, and more network friendly. It's not ready for the internet yet, but it's getting there. We don't need it for information that changes every few years, like credit card info, but that's not all people use cryptography for, even today.

They are already taking orders by phone. In my opinion there is no urgency to replace this.

The question to ask is what you can do for the customer. Bringing all the menu cards together in the same format adds value.

You don't even need a search engine.

First upgrade agenda point for automation would be a restaurant login so that they can save money by doing the menu data entry themselves.

The guy cant code, all the value will have to come from him promoting the website.
Ahh! Synchronous condensers, makes sense. I didn't make the connection when you said flywheel but should've. Thank you!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_condenser
100% agree with you. The best teams I've been on have had complete harmony whether things were running smoothy or not. Everybody just banded together and got it done. Every once and awhile we'd encounter some bad code someone wrote and have a good laugh with each other and fix it up. Each and every person had one another's backs.
> but at the time he was just a prominent local lawyer who had worked in labor law.

Dead wrong. He defended Eugene Debs in the Pullman Strike case (1894), which was headline news all over the country. He got him off for the conspiracy charge, too.

(Debs served time for contempt of court, and during World War One for criticizing the war).

Oddly enough, he also visited Fremont Older at his house a few miles from me, which is now part of the Fremont Older Open Space Preserve.
Don’t take it as a backhanded compliment! We should all strive to surpass and excel the ordinary.
So when the same Courts and legal system act in his favor, it's all hunky and dory. But, when they act in opposition - I'm a victim of a political prosecution, witch hunt, revenge, and blah blah.

If congress didn't want the federal agency to have agency then they would've been more specific with the law.

Quite literally those agencies can decide what is available for judges to review.

Wow, what a slam. Go back & analyze not just the specific case at hand, but generate a complete analysis of who these laws would apply to, in which circumstances, and the constitutionality of all. I feel like it's submitting your homework & being told you need to go do a thesis on the topic to get credit.

There's some very promising guidance too. Recognizing that there is a right to expression, that these platforms aren't magically stripped of their expression rights because they host huge volumes or because they don't themselves post kneecaps the rock out of some very strong absurd censorship complainers.

> States (and
their citizens) are of course right to want an expressive realm in which
the public has access to a wide range of views. But the way the First
Amendment achieves that goal is by preventing the government from
"tilt[ing] public debate in a preferred direction"

Including forcing companies to achieve that preferred balance for them.

Surprisingly promising start. I started in on the opinions but man these are long; interested to see how the various judges tackle this.
How do you think outsiders get access to insiders to write articles about what happened behind closed doors at large corporations?

Affiliated with, no. Unless the author was there, just made everything up or sourced the details via 3rd party reporting (or as is the case in the opening line - via google published papers/press releases) then yes google PR personel would have been involved.
> Prior to this I would have thought search engines were good enough that a query like "music video eyes on me victorian looping clip house of cards shotgun" would have surfaced this as the #1 result.

No I think search engines are still largely keyword-driven. With some synonyms and ranking thrown in.

Better search engines probably have humans curating stuff based on trending traffic, e.g. "what went down at the supreme court today?"

Just speculation though.
At that rate we should just strap boosters to Mars and bring it to Earth's orbit
> pollution is a solvable problem without mass collective action

Interesting. How are we solving the microplastics problem and the plastic islands in the ocean without mass collective actions?
Also frustrating when we were doing indoor WiFi positioning at Apple. Scanning 2.4ghz - super fast. Scanning 5ghz takes forever. You need repeated scans as quickly as possible to converge your position (at least the way we were doing it at that time)
That's exactly what iframes are designed to do. Though they do have... downsides
It's still a heck of a coincidence that one of these life-bearing asteroids hit Earth at exactly the time life could survive here. This becomes more likely if a lot of asteroids develop life, pushing it back into high-probability. Though it's still more susceptible to view bias, since you could have lots of stellar systems where life freezes before it makes it to a planet.

Either way, the notion of asteroids being more hospitable to OoL than planets, with their complex and varied environments and chemistry, would require quite the extraordinary evidence in my book.
> Is the solution to build things through poorer neighborhoods where people still feel exactly the same but can't stand up for themselves?

Pretty much. The history of US highway construction is full of politicians using freeways to bulldoze and split poor communities. That's how the euphemism "urban renewal" got its name.
