It's not so much that it is acceptable for filters to misclassify email as we should keep our expectations realistic.

Then again, I've never been one to treat the priority email folder with credulity. What it classifies as priority is often quite different from what I would. Never mind treating those emails as inherently legitimate.

Exactly. They already killed the OG Chromecast with the "with Google TV" Chromecast.

Now they are just killing the Chromecast branding for now. But they've been known to kill a brand only to resurrect it a few years later.
Considering the stock performance of the last 10 years my opinion is quite widespread among investors
I've been making this shift as well.

Start thinking about what a good work day looks like. What tasks are you doing? Who are you working with? Where are you working? When? What technologies? Etc etc.

Then start working backwards and figure out what type of work you can do in that ideal work day environment. For me, I'm having to undergo a massive career shift but I'm much happier than I ever was.

Call me cynical but it’s a shell game as far as I can see: same product but new name, probably cheaper parts, more expensive so more profit per unit…except they won’t sell as many units, but on paper it will look good so the market will reward them. I can’t tell though if investors and analysts are too stupid to see it this way or maybe they don’t care either? I guess it’s better to not care because you make money so instead of calling it out when you see it, just give it pass and everyone makes more money. I know Google isn’t the only company that does this it’s just a sad commentary on tech and the market that it works.
Chromecasts are too small to run their AI so they need a box.
At least there is an option to disable it.

Freakonomics have done some interesting coverage of the opioid epidemic and how spending more money on it doesn't necessarily lead to better outcomes. Having listened to what different people say about it, I'm not so sure that "harm reduction doesn't work" is something I can agree with. Addiction and homelessness just aren't trivial problems to solve. Sending people to jail sure doesn't help anything, does it?

That being said, seeing it first hand is pretty shocking for sure. We stayed a couple of blocks from Tenderloin a few weeks ago and at one point drove down a side street that was just full of people doing meth (I think). Whatever SF is doing, it sure seems like it needs a course change.
Clever! Give a thousand+ high earners a reason to buy a car. Install Superchargers in all the best parking spots to reserve them for Teslas. Most X employees are loyal to Musk, so that is probably $50M in additional revenue for TSLA, and he gets people to show up early if they want to charge at work. /s
They only reason I went with a Chromecast over a Nividia shield was the price. Now that the gap has narrowed the shield looks much more enticing. The pro version can run a PLEX server and has 2 USB 3.0 ports for storage. And Gforce Now is actually quite nice for games where a milliseconds don't matter all that much.
Well if you choose music that's optimized for the lowest common denominator, you'll have that. It's a poor metric. If you pick "most popular food" it'll end up being Dominos pizza or something, which says nothing about anything.
First, the increase in the McD burger price over those 7.5 years constitutes around 4% p.a. That's certainly not great, and twice the usual inflation target, but not catastrophic.

Second, there was no "out-of-control" money printing in Australia, see [1].

Third, if there was out-of-control money printing (and there was some loose monetary policy, and at the zero lower bound this does involve expansion of the central bank balance sheet, ie QE), it was after the GFC in 2007 [2]. However, there was no inflation for a decade and a half after.

But then, the pandemic and the Ukraine war hit. Now you had supply constraints (reduced production and logistics challenges) and also increased demand (due to fiscal easing (stimulus, subsidies) during the pandemic, and people "catching up" on spending afterwards). And then there was a short bout of inflation.

Why do people keep complaining about money printing if that's not the cause for inflation?

Fourth, you find extensive discussion of all these issues in utterly mainstream media.

Construction projects frequently use it on a small scale when excavation or disturbing existing infrastructure isn’t possible. For example, you need to lay an electric cable for a new development across a road and you can’t shut down the road, so you drill horizontally underneath it and run the cable through.
I am baffled by the success of Chrome vs others.

It is a proprietary (absolute red flag) web browser with fairly poor support for extensions (mild red flag), on Windows it insists on storing cached data where I don't want it to go (relative red flag)

I'll give them it is fast vs say firefox... but it is really what I would call a "normie's web browser"

I really hope Firefox survives, well actually it will because it is not a black box.
Oh yes, Apple has been adding UWB location to all their devices, it's great. Thanks for the info, I'll get an Apple TV next!
I love the g14. The build quality isn’t perfect but the trackpad is awesome and price to performance is great, especially if you stick to the previous year model and get it heavily discounted. Shame they moved away from user upgradable memory.
My 2019 Philips android tv got incredibly slow after years of updates. I didn’t notice it because it was so incremental but after some years the chromecast functionality started failing consistently. I did a factory reset, disconnected from the internet and added a Google TV dongle. TV is super fast again. Point of the story: it’s very nice to be able to buy a $ 50-100 dongle every 5 years and keep your old tv.
And the only reason they care about search is it's what drives their advertising, which is their primary product.
Goodbye, Jake. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your struggles, even now as it comes to its end. As a 20-something young man with hopefully many years ahead of me, your posts have encouraged me to live better, love more, and have more appreciation.

> in the wireless-display-sharing ecosystem the chromecast is unique in that, when possible, it streams content from the original provider on a local client rather than relying on mirroring your device's display.

AirPlay has the same capabilities, I believe even in the original v1 version - back then only for Audio as it didn’t support video at all.
I'm trivializing small aircraft flight, because it's a personal transport like a car. And the reason I'm doing so is that it seems very technically possible to safely control and simplify the amateur/small craft experience. So, my question would be, with modern technology, why should flying be hard?

I'm not suggesting this for a 747. Let's compare it to a private driver's license versus a CDL. Of course we shouldn't let any schlub to pilot a plane, just like we (ostensibly) require a person to take driver's training and pass a test prior to getting behind the wheel.

In my admittedly ignorant mind, we could automate and make safe the entire process. The OP prevents a device with redundant and safety systems making it nearly impossible to execute dangerous maneuvers, and balance weight and weather concerns. Current computing could automate air traffic control at small airfields where these small planes would fly. The airspace carved out for these craft could be enforced by the fly-by-wire system on the plane. And so on.

My point is, with modern tech, it would possibly be feasible to trivialize personal flying.
Yeah this is correct. I didn't realize it.

Most RDBMSs don't behave this way. They allow you to correct exceptions that occur for anything less than a deadlock without a total rollback, but not Postgres.
Half the smart TVs out there have the exact same software as Chromecast to begin with, so not sure what everyone is complaining about.
I wouldn't say opposite. You're still choosing one company's platform.

This seems like a big gap. Anyone know if this is a fundamental architecture mismatch, or just no one has written the required CUDA kernels yet?
was there ever any information (released by Google or other parties) as to why Google decided to remove the functionality to "Cast" *any* tab, and not a tab from a site that was whitelisted by Google?

who pressured Google to do this? or did they "pressure themselves" to do it?

the BEST feature of early Chromecasts was the ability to cast any video from any page. it was revelatory!

and then that feature was silently removed.
Yeah, I was following that activity, but as it's key-based Google simply revoked the keys and devices would no longer stream to it.

There used to be a solution to extract the key from your own Chromecast to simply use it for your own purposes.

But then they evolved the protocol to Cast_v2 which IIRC had more hardened security, so it's just a matter of time until they stopped supporting v1 and simply lock out all devices.

It's a pity, because it would be great to push content to custom receivers in your house (i.e. send a YouTube link to a Squeezebox server)
It's more likely that my body is just overly sensitive to foods (which is very common). I eat clean now but still not feeling like I did back then. Maybe 80%.

Diet and how you feel is highly variable and highly individual dependent. So the shake is excellent for creating a baseline since it is about as plain as you can get food to be.
SpaceX seems mostly operated by Gwynn, and the electric cars existed before Musk ever bought into Tesla.

Directionally agreed though, he and his companies have achieved some really remarkable things. Makes the fall from grace, especially in such foreseeable ways (i.e. self-radicalizing on Twitter), all the more disappointing.
Ask HN: What tools need to be built for windows server?

What tools are missing that need to be built? What existing tools are you not satisfied with?

Thanks!
The payload of a drone is nowhere near that of an artillery shell and even if it was, you're going to spend X+$1000+$3000 instead of just $3000, where x is the cost of the drone.
For statutory health insurance in Germany, what you pay is tied to your income, not to the cost of health care or your risk (age etc.).
This would be the way. Essentially the system would be an air-to-ground TOW missile. I wonder how difficult it is to source fiber at the scale needed.

However, a drone can take hits in non-critical areas whereas the fiber is even harder to hit but vulnerable to any caliber or shrapnel sent up. May not be a huge issue, though.

> Many people died during that golden age

I've written about this before. Basically, the FDA's position is that it's better for 10,000 patients to die of neglect than have 1 patient die of quackery.

Drug development is in shambles because the FDA requires >99.99% confidence that pharmaceutical companies are not selling quack cures. Do we need that level of confidence? Especially for cancer, is that degree of confidence warranted? Is the process efficient?

There's legitimate fear of quack medicine -- and then there's whatever the FDA is gripped by, which seems to me a lot like insanity.

Show HN: Maxims: a scrappy embedding visualizer and commonplace book replacement
Hey HN,

I've been working on this little web-app in my spare time, in between my classes and over the summer holidays. I was frustrated by how many intersting quotes/tweets/photos I liked and then subsequently forgot. I wanted a way to keep track of all of them, and see how similar ideas and statements related to each other. Having seen https://atlas.nomic.ai/, and other text embedding visualizations (via PCA, UMAP, t-SNE), I thought this would be a fun place to start.

Here's an sharing link with some quotes I liked (mostly C.S. Lewis): https://maxims.app/share?tag=6fua96d

Features:
- Image uploads (no sharing support yet)

- Tagging

- Vector-based text search

- Sharing points

- Changing dimension reduction technique

- Local first (syncing was a real pain, but it lead to a 10x speed boost)

Disclaimer: This is just a project I made for fun. It is scrappy, hacky, janky, and so forth. There may (and likely will) be undiscovered bugs and issues. Please don't put any sensitive info into here.

I hope you like it! Let me know what you think :)

1. Search site.
As a separate product, it would need to earn money.
Improve filtering and the search itself.
It would be able to host ads from other advertising networks (like any other large site).
Make an additional API or tool to regularly update data by certain filters)
You can charge money for all these things.

2. Ads. As a separate advertising network, for which google.com will be just one platform/site, like thousands of others.

3. Mail as a separate service, leave the ability to log in to other sites through this account, so you keep one login for everything (who needs it).
It can also be an advertising platform for any advertising network. You can offer better services for a fee, while keeping the basic functionality free.

4. YouTube as a separate service, as well as a platform where many other advertising networks or advertisers will compete for advertising space. Introduce paid plans for creators, where there will be a certain volume limit after which you will need to pay for the service.

5. Cloud services. Separately.

6. Google Docs. As a separate online document service, you can charge a subscription fee for certain features as in 365.

7. Browser. No need for Manifest v3.
Improvements to the extension store.
You can also sell advertising space and make integrations with various tools, as Opera does, for example.
You can even make some kind of subscription, or make paid extensions that will speed up sites, improve the look, and cut out ads.

This is the first thing that came to mind. This can be thought out better.
This will create competition for other players and for these potentially divided campaigns.
General improvement of products. And all of this can be kept "under one login, in one ecosystem," with the ability to make "one system and one login" in conjunction with other tools.

So having care in the process of burning the body and honoring the cremains isn't treating the body with the honor due but putting someone in a pine box and burying them in the dirt to be eaten by worms and "leach corpse juice into a water table" is treating the body with the honor due?

How is burying more honorable than cremation?

Refusing to serve me is harmful to the shop in the most straightforward way you can possibly imagine. They make less money for the same amount of work.

Call me paranoid, but I just don't trust it not to look for nearby unsecured wifi networks. Ontop of which I feel dirty and complicit by paying for functionality that I will never use and believe is detrimental to society.
Bought an LG “C” series OLED a month or so ago. Never gave it a WiFi password. Everything (Apple TV, XBox, Switch) uses HDMI CEC, so I just turn on the desired device, inputs are switched and devices powered on. I never see the TV’s Home Screen, and it doesn’t complain about lack of network. The LG acts as “dumb” as the truly dumb TV it replaced.
True, but they aren’t invasive here (NorCal, they are “potentially invasive” because they are invasive elsewhere, but do not spread) and native butterflies can use them as a host species here.

Love to see people doing CPU projects!

I just recently wrote a JavaScript emulator [1] for a simple 8-bit CPU I had built with logic gates. Both were fun projects, but one took a weekend whereas the other took about 4 months. Having skimmed through the author's code, I totally understand why it took them so much longer to get their's working. It's implemented with gate-level simulated logic gates, which is an impressive achievement. It's so much easier to just emulate whole components like I did.

Golioth for AI
> Rust's standard library is not a spec, it's just code.

I consider this profound weakness, not a strength.

Don’t get me wrong: I recognize the benefits in the short term! But really long lived languages like FORTRAN, Lisp, C++ have benefited hugely from a spec-based standards approach adopted from other engineering practice. They have also benefited from cross-fertilization from different implementations which influenced later standard and thus each other.

This is why standards from building codes to electrical systems, to ships, manufacturing QC sampling, TCP/IP (and all the internet RFCs) and basically the entire corpus of ISO standards are spec based.

If you want to build long-lived engineered systems it’s worth learning from people who figured out a lot of the metaprocesses the hard way, some of them for more than a century ago.
