Wow I didn't realize what implicit trust I put in their translation output. Indeed I just tried some other Chinese -> English translation sites and they vary widely on what they output. Is it gibberish chinese characters these translators just guess on? Either way thanks for the insight I clearly put too much assumed faith in their quality/accuracy.
People haven't forgotten the promises. I expect that Tesla will be forced to upgrade older cars with a new autopilot computer. It will probably happen after their next chip release. In fact, that's why I purchased FSD in the first place. It was only $3k at the time and already included one guaranteed computer upgrade (which I did later get); I suspected a second computer upgrade would eventually be required. Possibly a camera upgrade as well.
Windows XP and Windows 7, although with a lack of consistency (compared to macOS) was great for getting things done and powerfull on even low hardware (I liked how it disable areo effects if you did not have the GPU for it).

> If we did a cap feature, enabling it would involve disabling parts of our platform.

What I'm saying is that capping billing is not the same thing as shutting down parts of the platform. You're redirecting complaints about the latter by focusing on the difficulty of doing the latter in real time, which is granted but gross overkill.

The former is something that is not only doable, but something that already happens regularly in an informal capacity and nobody believes you don't have the data to price it.
I’m sure some UX idiot at Microsoft will be along to “fix” them any time now.
> It’s a self own to buy an inferior product for political reasons.

Not if the inferior product is good enough for your purposes.

And not if you value your principles highly enough.

Plus the image/perception of someone buying a Tesla today is getting close to red hat territory for some.

Plenty of reasons why this isn’t a “self own.”
There was a recall for symptoms like this: https://support.apple.com/airpods-pro-service-program-sound-...
Datalog is rad and has some neat ergonomics. It’s not so much a need as a want kind of thing. It’s definitely worth looking into.

I’ve only ever seen it used in Clojure(Script) projects although there’s support in other languages too.
I trust them to handle even edgy cases more generous after this announcement. Just a gut feeling, as if they would risk losing significant credibility. I've written elsewhere that I'm not a big fan of those over-marketing posts, but they are small and more trustworthy than any of the large providers.
I lost a pair of AirTags on an international flight (in cargo), fortunately I only lost the AirTags, and not the actual bags they were attached to!

One of the AirTags actually flew around internationally for a week or so (London, Amsterdam, back to the US a few times!) but sadly after about a week there were no more updates.

Someone must have found the AirTag in whatever baggage container it was stuck in and removed the battery.

I still have the AirTag in FindMy, one day I suppose I'll delete it but I sometimes wonder what happened to it.

Did the person who found it just throw it out? Do recovered AirTags go back to Apple to be recycled and resold? Does the CEO of American Airlines, Robert Isom, have a scrooge-mc-duck-esque pool of lost AirPods he swims around in? Sometimes I wonder.
This seems pretty out there to me. What is the basis for this theory?
I'm not sure languages without a package manager being the default are nearly as bad.

When it is trivial (like running a single command line or a single line in a file like cargo.toml), having a proliferation of dependencies is so easy it almost becomes guaranteed. But in languages like c++ where not everyone uses them (even if several PMs exist) adding a dependency to a library is a much bigger deal as you either have to use something like git submodules or manage them yourself OR make any user of your library go get the correct versions themselves.

Because data storage costs money, hard billing caps require deleting both your data and its backups to stay under the hard cap. There are very few use cases where that's actually acceptable, not even development environments where people will get upset for losing their work that they haven't pushed to somewhere else yet.

It's like the new settings UI on mac os. It's all list. Before there were different layout patterns (Grid, then sectioned forms inside tabs). Great for spatial memorization. They've thrown it out of the windows for something that only works for small vertical screens with touch. It also sucks if you're using a mouse with the iPad.
Have you tried reading https://tom.preston-werner.com/2009/05/19/the-git-parable ?

I bet you're smart enough to understand it. Inside, git inside is much more logical and neat that the (unfortunate) historical CLI makes it feel. It's a shame it holds people back from using this very powerful and useful tool. (Once you've reached understanding, switch to magit, gitui, tig, etc, for comfort and speed.)
I get the sneaky feeling the idea of fsd with cameras is just an idea that is WILDLY ahead of its time. The technology isn't there yet, but will be eventually.

It's the middle part that's scary (where we are now I guess)
Yeah, that's basically how it went. And they wanted to use it to strike a location that the US was, at that time, still not letting Ukraine hit with US supplied weapons.
Why did you cry?

Do you cry when you were on the mountain the first time in real life?

If you went again in real life would you immediately cry?

Why would you cry just for seeing it again?

Was it crying because of awe of the technology?

It's amazing how poor the performance is on large repositories, even on modern machines.

Generational knowledge, and perhaps more importantly, generational treasuring of knowledge have made a huge difference in the outcomes in my family members that I have had access to across four generations.

I don’t want to need to read through a bunch of junior dev trash when I’m going about my day to day tasks. If there’s something I am working on that I can clearly define well enough for a novice to be able to implement it, great, if not, I’ll do it myself.
There maybe a continium in games space, but in non-game apps it's all crystal clear and sharp boundaries:

Can the app stop generating wakeup interrupts and let CPU/GPU sleep?

Yes -> this means app events (like network transfer) need to be able to generate "update" events, which means those events need to be directed somewhere, which means retained mode.

No -> this means GUI is allowed to poll non-stop and thus can check every variable 60 times per second to support immediate mode.
This is the way.

Also remember that one day Google will eliminate Login With.

Great podcast, also Russia will just stage nukes in orbit so they can't be intercepted during their vulnerable boost phase. In fact they recently built this capability to do so.
Agreed. I liked the demo at Apple Store except that it was freaking heavy. That was by far, the biggest deal breaker for me.

If they make it weigh half as much, I would buy one.
Yes. Get your weirdo cameras away from me.
38 states agree with you and allow you to record any conversation you're a part of.

Ive had FSD run stop signs. Like doesnt even recognize them and goes full speed through them its wild. I'm too scared to try it on the freeway because if it phantom breaks going 75mph I imagine it ends in pain, lawsuits, and possibly deaths. It is all so bad and I definitely feel lied to. Tesla told me in their app they dont offer refunds :(
I am shocked that sci-hub is on that list. Could this explain the economic and academic decline of Germany these last few years?
I have an R5.1 and I have used the Pixel Shift mode maybe twice, just to see what it did. Like most cameras with this capability the scene has to be completely still, which is very rare for the type of photography I do (even architecture often has moving clouds or reflections). My Olympus OM-1 also has a similar mode with a similar experience.

I also do not want any AI generation in my cameras. I want my cameras to take the photo I told it to make, and not to fake a photo it thinks I wanted to take.
This is the way.

Also remember that one day Google will eliminate Login With.

And if you do login with Apple you can never escape the Apple Tax even if it declines or gets broken up.

I worked at a huge company with Login With. Only a fraction of people used it so we didn’t have time to support the hundreds of corner cases properly. So best bet was to rip it out.
I've had issues with both my personal and business accounts at Chase. Mostly due to the inept local branch manager. I've also had deposits flagged and delayed from clients that have been paying me for years with never an issue previously.

KeePassX with the password field left blank and the note field containing e.g. "SSO w/ Google".
I much prefer the old Control Panel myself, but I think it's even worse to have two system programs for doing the same thing. Maybe now they will finally have to improve their modern Settings app.
I don't understand your point. What are you trying to say?
I worked at a huge company with Login With. Only a fraction of people used it so we didn’t have time to support the hundreds of corner cases properly. So best bet was to rip it out.

Your best move is to always set a secure password and use a password manager.

You probably won’t even be able to move your account to a password one you’ll just lose access (another unsupported “corner” case)
I so badly wish they'd open-source Windows. It wasn't bad enough that they refuse to fix obviously bad code, but they also don't allow the very many talented performance engineers submit PRs that would do in a month what they couldn't get done in years.
The only way I'd use Windows is for work or a specific purpose like gaming. AKA I turn the computer on, launch a few software and stayed in those until I shut it down. I wouldn't bear with it for personal computing. macOS is heading the same way (minus the ads, plus the phone-like interface). Linux may be rough, but I can do whatever I want with it.

Why the hell isn't that list in alphabetical order. No, the random groupings aren't helpful for me to find things at all.
I wonder what the difference is? One (admittedly uninformed) hypothesis is that there might have been more detergent, and the failure was caused by detergent residue. If this was true, they could be (possibly) repaired by rinsing with fresh water to remove said residue and leaving to dry. (Lots of other possible hypotheses and confounding factors)
This is also, at least in Canada, why most security cameras only record video and not audio. If two people have a conversation that is recorded without their knowledge, you don’t even have one-party consent. You can record video in public but not audio.

Edit: where I am we have one-party consent rules for audio recording. I can have my phone in my pocket recording without you knowing just fine. But I can’t tape a microphone to a park bench and record the conversations there that I’m not a part of.
Sure, but their point was that it’s better to be able to question authority and be an asshole than to not question authority at all.
> What is preventing the ideas of Xet from landing into git directly?

Xet needs three things to function (on top of git-xet itself): an auth backend (currently xethub), an S3-compatible backend (currently AWS), and an NFS client for accessing the files (currently your OS, if supported).

Presumably the git authors wouldn't be too keen on forcing their users to depend on those things just to work with a repo.

Git LFS isn't great but at least it doesn't need any extra services (local or otherwise).
Jesus, 78MB is still a lot for such a simple program.
It is. My ‘favorite’ is when technical help links in their own settings app links to useless web searches with ads.

I'm curious about the chances of the owner having the same area code as where the airpods were found. I think in many cases the mobile number is going to be from where you lived when you first got a mobile phone, which could have been (at least in my case) decades ago. But I'm glad you got lucky!

I found an airtag in a parking lot last year. It behaved a bit strangely even with a fresh battery and resetting it, and it still seemed the owner had not marked it lost. A friend who was an Apple rep told me it was probably defective and to just throw it away. I put it in the garage meaning to take it to the hazardous waste facility and forgot about it for about 8 months. Came across it again and just for grins and giggles I gave it one more try -- it seems the owner finally did mark it lost, and I was able to pair it to my iPad. So I have an extra airtag now...

Datalog is a subset of Prolog, both of which predate SQL. By your logic, we should be asking what was the point of SQL.

There are 100 billion embedded ARM processors in operation now with estimated 230 billion total. RISC-V cant be more than a million so displaced is a bit rich. Someone bought a few.

Tesla's "Fake Self Driving" is looking pathetic compared to Waymo's real self driving. Tesla was going to announce their self-driving taxi a few weeks back.[1] Now that's "slipped" to October. If it really worked at all, there would be Tesla robo-taxis with safety drivers visible on the roads right now. We'd see them slowly going fully autonomous, like Waymo and Cruise did. Nobody is reporting seeing such test cars on the road. We got to watch Waymo get slowly better for years, with public reports to DMV of every incident. Each year, the stats got better, and eventually they got DMV approval for full autonomy carrying paying passengers. Now, they're a routine part of San Francisco life.

I like the part where it clearly knows a tv with sound is disconnected but it doesnt switch to the only working audio device. Trips around the settings and back get all the more interesting like that.

I dont even know where my failed prints from 6 months ago are stored until it bothers me with a popup that is slightly to fast to interact with.

I belive a complicated ui should have a kind of blog where you can find all the nonsense going doen in chronological order with tags and categories.
I almost always use Google (out of habit, many years using android phones and gmail) so I don't have to keep track of anything, although I do admit I have two Google accounts and sometimes it's a mess to organize between both (but this is my fault, historic reasons and too lazy to fix now).

To everyone worried about Google closing and not being able to login via Google... what email provider do you use? Because if Google closes Login With they might as well close or lock you out of GMail and if that's your email provider you're screwed as well right?

> not a person who turned off Ukraine's starlink access on a whim based on his personal opinion of an international event

I marked this story to follow up on when it broke, because it interested me.

I'm no Musk fan, but I did find his telling of this story credible: Starlink was initially disabled in Crimea due to sanctions, the Ukrainian uncrewed surface vehicle team assumed coverage would be available all the way to their target, and Musk declined to extend coverage when they asked at the last minute, in the context of a specific, planned military operation. I happen to be a lawyer familiar with those sanctions---and how businesses tend to address them---but you could cross-reference stories about GitHub and others freezing accounts of people logging in from Crimean IPs for a sense.

Either way, I'd be careful with words here. I don't recall any reports of Starlink being shut down for Ukraine or Ukrainian forces overall. There was another news arc some time before about Musk insisting the government pick up the tab for continued service. But as far as I know that never resulted in any major service disruption. I vaguely recall it's now on Department of Defense contract, but you'd want to check that.
What % of those sales are companies buying them for their employees? It's almost a B2B market. Whereas the Vision Pro is overwhelmingly B2C, at least it will be with the current state of the technology. Hence very different pricing dynamics.

This may be related to smartphones now being old enough that your average young adult entering the workforce is more familiar with their interface than a Win95 style interface.

I would bet the average 20 year old can connect a new Bluetooth device on a phone OS faster than they can get to the Sound settings page of Win95.

I don’t think UX is static. The UI patterns we recognize change with what we’re exposed to. The Control Panel doesn’t look terribly far off from a terminal app ported to a GUI. It’s also pretty alien to someone accustomed to smartphones.

Older adults have used smartphones, but young adults have never used Win95, so a smartphone style interface is more usable for more people. I’m with you, I prefer the Control Panel, but Settings may be more utilitarian.
