Things like ESG if they don't add to the bottom line will get cut in business down-cycles.

The short term nature of our current economy and markets cause this.
Trump, like many other populists, are not speaking to urban city dwellers when it comes to these topics. He's aiming his speech at the rural population. The idea is of course to keep them scared, and keep them away from the cities.

This is not only a US thing. I grew up in rural nowhere, and frequently see (unfortunately older) people from back home write the craziest posts about the things that are "happening" in big cities.

Some of them are so afraid that they simply won't visit those places - in fear that they'll get mugged, stabbed, or raped by some psychotic foreigner or gang member.

They get all their news from the same far-right FB pages and "news" websites that only write about crime.
> it was the days where you could prophetically "hear" that you are about to get a call or sms through your computer speakers

When I was getting my private pilot's license in '07, my instructor put his cell phone in the Cessna's glovebox (which is just below the radio) and told me to call him. There was definitely interference throughout me ringing him, but as soon as he took the phone out to cancel the call, the interference went away.
I'm not from the US and may be missing some context, but in what way mandating backup cameras makes a society less open for mass and light transit?
What principle of basic game theory would that be? You also need to justify the incredibly strong assumption that "any sacrifice" has "highly negative effects" on the individual player. An immediate counterexample would be beef consumption. For many people, reducing their intake would have positive effects on their health.

The Medina semifinal was a total bust. There were like three ridable waves total.
Totally agree. Though, usually these programmers know how to properly ask a question, make a bug report and/or feature request.

They wouldn't, for example, just barge in an oss project with arguably low value statements like "Python 2 is retiring in thirty months. Calibre needs to convert to Python 3."
Show HN: GitHub Sage – An Open Source Software AI Support Bot
Hi HN,

GitHub Sage is a Chrome extension that helps developers build off open source software. It opens up as a side panel on Github, where you can interact with a chatbot in order to:

1) Understand how the repo works, whether it serves your purpose, and how you can build off it. 2)
Generate code within the browser and run it in an auto-generated Colab notebook. 3)
Navigate quickly through the repository (the chatbot answers are heavily hyperlinked to code and documentation).

Extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/github-sage/kmkkcnn...

We built this for two reasons.

First, when it comes to AI generated code we can make a better judgment on whether to accept or reject generated code when it’s heavily linked to source code and documentation (akin to how Perplexity makes generative search more trustworthy by citing its sources).

Second, because we’re overwhelmed by the amount of OSS out there. And it’s growing exponentially. It’s increasingly hard to read beyond the hype, understand what a repo does and whether it suits your needs. Sometimes you don’t have enough time to actually browse the code and just want some quick answers.

Currently, we support 6 popular AI-related repos (Huggingface transformers, Langchain, Llamaindex, Google JAX, PyTorch, Stable-diffusion-webui) and plan to add more (reindexing repositories daily is not cheap!) Let us know what other repos you’d find interesting.

We would definitely appreciate getting any feedback on this first version of Sage.

Thanks! Julia and Mihail.
This is what gets me. Are you going to take out another student loan, because of engagement? EG, spam, and their name on your mind.

Of course not!

Yet there's a marketing (eg, engagement) department thinking up this junk.
> As easy to cancel as it is to sign up

I think that’s not enough in some cases. Signing up requires inputting a bunch of data; unsubscribing should be 2 clicks at most, no logins.
Go was designed for use in enterprise environments. It was literally designed for Google's specific development problems.

Nothing about Go's design should be talked about divorced from the context of it being tailor-built to solve Google-specific problems.

All other uses of Golang are basically in the territory of rounding error.
I've used xterm.js for this, but I was already in a webview. It's pretty good, might even be worth the webview for https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js

how can you use the term "good engineering" when that same company sells cars with video cameras instead of mirrors and turn signals mounted on a rotating steering wheel?

I will call it what it is - techbro delusion. Silicon Valley deluded itself into thinking that it alone knows best and that more tech alone is the solution to all our problems.

Tesla's design choices are the perfect example of this culture permeating into a high-stakes world where real people can die.
It’s definitely a bit pricier than some other TTS providers. In practice, I’ve found that in-browser TTS simply doesn’t cut it for me, quality wise. I tried running modern TTS models in browser using WASM but even the smaller models take way too long and produce mediocre output.

One potential option would be use Apple CoreML to run some top of the line TTS models on iPhone directly but that obviously lacks browser support.

I’ll look into finding a cheaper TTS provider to see if there’s a way to bring this cost down
The App Store model was specifically implemented and approved by Steve Jobs. There's old internal e-mails from him complaining about Amazon's reader app making it too easy to buy books without paying the (increasingly literal) Apple Tax.

In fact, the reason why antitrust lawsuits seem to never stick to Apple is because all the mens rea was stored in the mind of a guy who tried to cure his pancreatic cancer with fruit juice[0]. Everything Cook does as a businessman is just the "maximally extended" version of what Jobs either already did on a smaller scale, or had been planning on doing before dying.

The failings of any organization are more often than not the fault of the people who were in charge during the good times.

[0] Fructose speeds the growth of pancreatic cancer.
I'm kitty + tmux and have been for a while now. What kind of problems were you encountering?
There are really two kinds of greens: science-based types that are interested in practical solutions and understand engineering, and anti-technology or even anti-civilization types that want to use the issue to force de-industrialization and de-development. Solutions are not what the second group wants. A solution would eliminate the problem as a political and social lever.

The latter are louder because crackpots are always the loudest. That principle holds everywhere in politics.
I see unit and integration testing as a massive opportunity for PGlite. I know of projects (such as Drizzle ORM) that are already making good use of it.

The team at Supabase have built pg-gateway (https://github.com/supabase-community/pg-gateway) that lets you connect to PGlite from any Postgres client. That's absolutely a way you could use it for CI.

One thing I would love to explore (or maybe commenting on it here will inspire someone else ;-) ) is a copy on write page level VFS for PGLite. I could imagine starting and loading a PGlite with a dataset and then instantly forking a database for each test. Not complexities with devcontainers or using Postgres template databases. Sub ms forks of a database for each test.
Or drop the app. And explain to everybody why you're doing this

Patreon works fine in a web browser.
"Passage to Marseilles", which reunited a lot of the cast from "Casablanca" (Curtiz, Bogart, Rains, Greenstreet, Lorre), has a great scene of a British cow farm transforming into an airfield.

The Irrational Fear of Deployments
All it took was four years, an impending major redesign and a few class-action lawsuits over switch failures. Apple was definitely super responsive about that one. Or maybe it was their courage speaking.
My understanding from reading the Apple v Epic court documents is that Apple is unique in that it doesn’t force cheaper prices outside the ecosystem. I might be wrong though.
The devops group is good, but the main one (Orlando Devs aka odevs) is what I was thinking. Covid messed things up quite a bit and things are still getting going again in terms of individual groups.

Your table hardware was likely optimized for profit and not usability. Replace them with larger nuts or knobs.

Bicycles are unfortunately losing their quick releases because of the disk brake incursion and the increased risk of wheel ejection when not properly installed. Plus carbon frame builders want to skimp on robust dropouts to make up for the weight gain of the heavy hub and brake setup.
> except if it were used for bills, taxes, and financial management.

I have another tool I built for finances:

https://github.com/joshcanhelp/budget-cli

I'm trying to think of a way to get the two working together because there is a lot of overlap in what they're trying to do.

> I would be surprised if Apple and Google didn’t eventually start to build something like this

They could certainly do it but I think it goes against what they want to do with the data, which is gather and centralize it. Maybe folks would go for it but the core idea here is saving for yourself, not storing it in another platform.

> It’s a well thought-out framework

Appreciate that, thank you!
> every system has exactly one bottleneck at any given point in time.

Consider this system that has 5 sequential steps with these durations:

Step 1: 10 seconds

Step 2: 5 hours

Step 3: 7 seconds

Step 4: 5 hours

Step 5: 18 seconds

It would seem that both step 2 and step 4 are both bottlenecks. Are you saying that in reality one of those 2 steps would not typically be the exact duration so one of them would be considered the actual bottleneck?
Sociology, psychology, biology, political science, economics oh man does the list go on... If you spend time supporting scientists in doing statistics and research methodology for any amount of time you will see the emperor has absolutely no clothes.
There wasn't a study or analysis. It was just lazy speculation that felt good because it could be bound up in a "evil white countries exploiting the developing world" narrative. Where exploiting was "paying to do a job".

It was submitted as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40623629

Again, there is effectively zero real data showing this. Further, RLHF isn't likely to reinforce such word selection regardless.

A more logical, likely scenario is that training data is biased heavily towards higher grade level material, so word selection veers towards writings that you find in those realms.
Language models would be fairly useless for most people if they accurately modelled the source distribution, no better than autocomplete. In fact, they were fairly useless when they modelled the source distribution, that's why ChatGPT was an instant hit whereas GPT-3 was mainly only interesting to other AI reasearchers.

What made LLMs suddenly interesting was that the responses were much more like answers and much less like additional questions in the same vein as the prompt.
Their model works on both. RGB only performance is comparable to other depth based methods which is why they emphasized it over the RGB-D version.

Counterpoint: Tesla has the best interface I've ever used in a car.

Close. They already get a % whenever you use Apple Pay. In fact, it's part of why the EU demanded Apple provide NFC APIs to allow third-party replacements of the built-in Wallet app.
With respect to the first part of your comment, I'd much prefer overcommunication of financial transactions about to happen and acknowledgement that they did rather than the other way about. And some communication about changes in Ts&Cs is often required. Those often come by physical mail. A lot of people here probably prefer more notifications about things like credit card transactions. I don't personally but many do even if it means a lot more routine email.
Apple is threatening to remove the Patreon app if they do the same.
If NASA decided that Butch & Suni would be flying SpaceX on their return trip, that would probably allow more aggressive testing of the Starliner's thruster systems after it departs the ISS.

In theory, the ISS crew could do a spacewalk or two before departure, to get a closer look at the problematic hardware. In practice - no time to plan nor train for that, improvised-at-best tools, and all the myriad ways that a flaky NTO/hydrazine fuel system could suddenly go very wrong - I'd be really surprised if they attempted anything.
What prompted you to switch?
and dangerous. The important part is the danger posed by the lack of physical buttons, not the learning curve.
I'm sure you realize it is fiction - one possible dystopian future among an infinite ocean of other futures.

You can just as easily write a sci-fi where the protagonist upload is the Siri/Alexa/Google equivalent personal assistant to most of humanity: More than just telling the smartphone to set a reminder for a wedding reception, it could literally share in their joy, experiencing the whole event distributed among every device in the audience, or more than just a voice trigger from some astronaut to take a picture, it could gaze in awe at the view, selectively melding back their experiences to the rest of the collective so there's no loss when an instance becomes damaged. The protagonist in such a story could have the richest, most complex life imaginable.

It is impactful, for sure, and worthy of consideration, but I don't think you should make decisions based on one scary story.
> In developed societies it doesn't make sense to let individuals solve collective problems.

This is simply restating the dismissal that OP brought up, not providing an answer. The example does not do much as CO2 quotas are nowhere near universal.
All of that’s way more common in (American) business English than other registers, I’d say, including “eager”.
Maybe, but 80% of those are complains of some sort.

That's the opposite of hype.
>I really don’t like the denigration of humanity to sell these products.

Sure, but then humanity was denigrated the first time a calculator was used to compute a sum instead of asking John Q Human to do it.

I'd argue that the more we find ways to replace humans with AI, we're more clearly defining what humanity is. Not about denigration or elevation, just truth.
Forgot to mention "lucky" part.
I don't think NHTSA ever approved a yoke steering setup for a production car in the US; but a late-80's Pontiac Bonneville or Mitsubishi Galant would have steering wheels chock full of control buttons, and a dash covered in LEDs like the cockpit of a Gundam.
If you have any linear algebra background, then the definition of a tensor is straightforward: given a vector space V over a field K (in physics, K = R or C), a tensor T is a multilinear (i.e. linear in each argument) function from vectors and dual vectors in V to numbers in K. That's it! A type (p, q) tensor T takes p vectors and q dual vectors as arguments (p+q is often called the rank of T but is ambiguous compared to the type).

(If you're unfamiliar with the definition of dual vector, it's even simpler: it's just a linear function from V to K.)
DHT22 isn't too bad (and certainly more accurate than the DHT11), and even though it's slow, it seems fine for the OP's use case.

Personally, I like the HDC3021. It's I2C, uses different addresses for different sample rates, high accuracy and precision, and has a built-in heater so your code can command it to cook off condensation if dew points are high. It's also more expensive, but man, it's a robust component.
I love Apple stuff. I'm all in, iPads, iPhones, AirPods, Apple TVs, HomePods various *Books everywhere.

I wish Patreon had more apps. It's a pain to watch videos on my TV. I have to mirror my iPad and keep tapping the screen to keep it from locking and ending the session.

But they're being forced to use a payment platform that they don't want to use and have to alter/drop one of their best features to do it.

Feels like getting a dry cleaning bill from the guy who stabbed you.
> This information is worthless for electric vehicle owners who charge mostly or exclusively at home

I need to make a 310 mile 1-way trip fairly regularly through _very_ rural parts of Texas. That trip is specifically why I don't own an EV.

At 600 miles, it makes it to where the humans in the car are now the likely limiting factor on how far you can go between stops.

Ok Orientierungswert von 6 NaCl g/Tag. Which is 2.3g Na. Back to the beginning: trying to get that from water alone, ni matter how good publicity Eaainger hat, will kill you.

BTW the elefant in the room: getting some less than 2.3 g/day will kill a healthy person relatively quick, while a diet with well above 5g/day will be shedded by healthy individuals without any problem…
My new frequency illusion is the phrase "ride or die". I'm 32 and I had never heard that in my life until I watched that show Cruel Summer and now it seems like I hear it everywhere, mostly on tv/ads/podcasts and almost never when talking to people I know. I refuse to say it because I don't fully understand what it means and when I do hear it, it always sounds a little cringey.
Assuming no air resistance and 10m/s^2 gravity. I calculate that you would have to be doing ~1,100m/s (~mach 3.2 at sea level) straight up at 37km to reach 100km. Or ~1,600m/s (~mach 4.7 at sea level) at 45 degrees to perpendicular.
Different times, different solutions. Backup cameras were not a solution in 1970's Netherlands otherwise maybe it would have been considered.

Idea was that things are not set into stone and change faster than we realize. And there will always be good and bad examples (and if I think about it, probably the backup cameras solution nowadays is not that bad anyhow).
WASM is inherently slower than native, but it does very well!

We have some micro-benchmarks here that have some baseline native numbers to compare to: https://pglite.dev/benchmarks

Much of the complexity with WASM in the browser actually comes down to the performance of the underlying VFS for storage. When running in-memory or using the OPFS VFSs both PGlite and the WASM SQLite builds are very performant, absolutely capable of handing the embedded use case.
Reading mmacevedo was the only time that I actually felt dread related to AI. Excellent short story. Scarier in my opinion than the Roko's Basilisk theory that melted Yudkowsky's brain.
AS a UX professional myself, I find the tesla UI changes incredibly annoying and detrimental to functionality. They reek of random "redesign" with no thought of function. The buttons in the car controls are greatly superior to the tiny icons.

In fact if you take a look at the UI in general, it's all pretty disconnected. We have 50% of the screen taken up with a visualization of the cars around you (but not all of them, and you can't 'trust' it). Next to it we have a map. The map directions are not shown on the visualization. You can't use the visualization to check for cars as you would in mirrors, as its not accurate. So why is it even shown? They could use it to show navigation routes rendered as they are seen, so offramps are shown to the user in 3d rather than the overhead map tiles. That would be actually useful.
> One solution could be to price things such that any amount of tax is included in the margin so the price is standard but profitability varies in minute ways between locations

Imagine you have customers in California (high taxes) and Wyoming (low taxes). You have one price, but the taxes in the former nets you zero profit. But, that's also where 98%+ of your customers are. That isn't going to work, needless to say.
At some price points and for some scenarios, or if a particular pre-built has everything you need for the right price and happens to have Intel, sure there are plenty of situations where Intel is the right choice.

It is amazing to see how Intel has faltered. This was all laid in stone a decade ago when Intel was under delusions that its biggest competitor was itself, and the only thing it cared about was ensuring that their lower power and lower cost devices didn't compete with their cash-cow high end products. They optimized for the present and destroyed their future.
then again, most history consists of whitewashing back when northern countries were exploiting everywhere else in various ways: imperialism, colonialism, neocolonialism, capitalism, financialization,...

typical people prefer to pretend this is simply "order" and "progress"; seemingly blind to their own ideological baggage like fish in water
If they tried that, Apple will just remove the app from the App Store.
Huh, can you do that? I can't google anything just now, got a link to some docs about js window functions in sqlite?! Sounds very powerful
Most iphones since iphone x have truedepth camera sensor in front that could be used instead of realsense I guess. However since iphone 13 quality of those depthmaps got more noisy. You can try with record3d to stream such rgbd data to your laptop via USB and use in python

>Apple will be applying their 30% App Store fee to all new memberships purchased in the Patreon iOS app, in addition to anything bought in your Patreon shop.

>remember, Apple’s fees are only in the iOS app. Your prices on the web and the Android app will remain completely unaffected.

If this means Apple will take 30% of funds I send to Patreon, then time to dump Apple Pay.

Yet another reason I avoid Apple, seems they are in a race with Microsoft to be the biggest abusers to their users.

Intel N100 NUCs with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSDs can be had for less than $200 on Amazon. What does AMD have in that price point?

Those events aren't decided by the judges just going on how 'cool' they think the performance was, but by comparing how close to perfect (as defined in the rule book) the techniques the athlete did was and then giving it a score based on how that technique is scored in the rule book.

The rulebook will say something like "technique A is worth 4.5 points; subtract 0.1-0.3 points if the arms aren't straight throughout the whole technique...". The judges role is then to judge if the arms where in fact straight or not. These sports are a lot more objective than people think.
