One of my AirPods is weirdly quiet. I know it still has the potential to be loud, as I’ve gotten it to be at the same level of noise as the other, but it’s hardly consistent. I’ve tried cleaning it and it didn’t seem to help, but I may just try again. Definitely a shame, but I got them for free so I won’t complain too much though. (If they were fully repairable this wouldn’t be a problem though.)
So you scripted sending the message to 84 different numbers, was that from your own personal iMessage account?

I would be terrified of doing something like that, I imagine the account could get flagged for spam, and hearing the various tech horror stories, I wouldn’t be surprised if it could end up suspending your iCloud account with everything on it, blacklisting hardware devices linked to it, and who knows what else.
I feel like this has assumed people have an understanding of Palantir's different products. This is for their AIP product, but even going to the AIP product page[1], I don't know what AIP is. The tagline "We show, they tell" still doesn't tell me anything about how I would use this.

> Publishers need money to pay for typesetters, proof-readers, and editors

Maybe in the past but most of the journals now will return the manuscript to the author or charge for revisions and any typing service.

The margin in academic publishing industry is one of the highest in all industries for a reason.

But I agree with the author that open source publishing incentives publishing more papers even if it is of lower quality. But also it does harm the repetition of the journal.

The elephant in the room that people usually avoid is that this is a political problem. You cannot rely on publications and journals impact factor in grant selections and academic careers evaluations and expect to solve this problem. No scientist is going to choose to publish an article on their website vs a journal if it will not only not add but harm their careers. Yes people put papers on arxiv but most of who wants to continue in academia will submit them for a traditional journal publication.

And how would we fix that?

>The Navy can only afford to spend what it has been allowed to spend.

I argue it's clearly mismanagement by navel leaders who love toys and see people as cheap. The US Navy gets a very predictable and consistent budget, these days around 200 billion a year plus 50 billion for the marines. They take that budget and put it into various pools, two of which are new ships and labor costs. If they don't have the money to pay a wage that would attract enough sailors to fully staff the fleet, it means they got the ratio wrong and have been overspending on ship at the cost of adequate labor.

Considering the site uses a bunch of CSS classes that end up always using the same visual style (e.g. black text), i'd say that "good hackers" can use Stylus or some other similar addon and customize the site's look.

You can do a lot of customization with it, while overall my HN looks 90% the same as the default style (since i don't dislike it), i have done some customizations like making every other comment have a slightly darker background (to easily distinguish them when scrolling) and added some color to distinguish different parts of each post.

Publish or perish is yet another example of Goodhart's Law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart's_law).

Paper count is a terribly easy metric to game when used to evaluate academic output because publishing low quality papers doesn't count against the authors.

I'm pretty sure it's already done that, since Windows Update always lied on how many GB it download.

It's very common (at least for me) to see "small" 700 MB update ended up having 4+ GB downloaded.
What I see is that people here and on places like Reddit seem to support expression of political views when it is for their side. They wouldn’t take issue with CEOs supporting leftist social justice issues, for example. But when it is a CEO supporting centrist or right-leaning views, they don’t support it. And not just that, but they go out of their way to manufacture outrage or signal their actions in order to suppress their political opposition, who they feel should not be able to express their views. When you can’t handle your opposition’s ideas being aired, you don’t support democracy. Sure you can make the claim that your money should go where you see fit, but it does also mean that you don’t support a society where ideas can be discussed.
It's important that all utility metering and pricing is effectively made up to balance costs across customers.

That's why residents in california probably pay 100000x / unit of water than agriculture customers do .

The same works for the cloud. An operation that costs $100000 does not cost the operator $85000 in operations on the margins.

Yes the metering and pricing schedules are necessary, but punitive pricing for accidents really is just an artifact of the system.

I'm guessing the biggest reason AWS provides forgiveness is that if anyone took them to court over a bill, a court would throw out the charge once the wholesale cost was revealed.
I want to expand a bit on your last statement. It is generally true but there is some important nuance I'd like to add. There may be some increased lactate temporarily but it will be minimal for aerobic exercise. It takes at least 2 minutes from a resting state for the body to reach VdotO2max. This means that even during aerobic exercise, you will be using at least some anaerobic energy production initially if you were not already warmed up. This is one reason why doing a warmup is a good idea.
I guess I just got old at some point. I simply don't think of web browsers as relevant when it comes to programming.
I own a pair of AirPods and AirPod Pros; I bought the former in 2019, and was gifted the latter in 2020. The microphone on the AirPods died after about 18 months of use, but they otherwise still work perfectly (perhaps with slightly degraded, but still quite serviceable, battery life), and have survived a wide range of abuse (multiple trips through the washing machine, repeated drops onto pavement, in some cases from a bicycle moving at decent speed, etc).

The Pros, on the other hand, in spite of me generally being quite careful with them (in contrast to the basic AirPods) had their noise canceling crap out at about the 2 year mark, and currently are slightly louder in one ear than the other (but the microphone still works, so they remain in service).

So, overall, I think I’ve had a similar experience to you with the Pros, but have been quite impressed with the non-Pro model.
Fwiw, the batteries will degrade in that period. I’m not saying that’s okay, but you should prepare for airpods to have a 3 year lifecycle regardless.
Brian Newbold has an update post on how atproto is doing at moving towards their stated goals, which is to be distributed.

> Fast-forwarding a year and a half, today the network is openly federated with hundreds of PDS instances.

https://bnewbold.net/2024/atproto_progress/

He goes over everything else required to be truly distributed... The multiple PDS's isn't everything. But it's been a lot of progress. Decentralization & walking away remains a focus. And there's a fairly strong 3rd party developer community that's very promising.

(Personal note, your post in my view contains reprehensible & gross mud-sling & slant. Holier than thou left-leaning academics itself sounds like a really judgemental case of projection.)
>But also, "misgendering people" is a point of political dispute.

I love them, even the internal ones. If you don't enjoy them or find them to simply be 'work', they're probably not meant for you. To me, they're a party. The fatigue and focus bring out the kind of vibes you'd get from late nights and alcohol. The focus on a topic means you have an icebreaker. There's low stress socialising like lunch, and there's high stress socialising like go karts and hackathons.

The goal of hackathons is to fail, but fail hard enough to have a spectacular demo. You're not building anything to last. You're experimenting with a new stack. You're building a feature that wasn't there. Whatever you end up with, you have to throw it away, so you're not attached to the code and go deeper than you otherwise would. This failure gives you data that you otherwise would not have.
Same AirPods, after a couple years the left one’s speaker sounds like it’s blown: any louder sounds played have a crackle and if I turn on the NC just brushing it with a finger makes it crackle like crazy.

Those 2 assumptions are at odds with each other. The Trump supporters I know don’t want anything to do with electric cars, and Trump was the one fighting for coal to remain viable, which is the exact opposite of environmentally conscious.

Personally, I have never seen a Tesla and assumed the driver was a Trump supporter. The much bigger stereotype is that the left buys EVs.

I don’t think many people are trading in their Cummings diesel 2500 truck for anything electric. The die hard Trump fans would be on Truth Social, not Twitter. They might like some stuff Elon is doing, but I don’t think they are going to give up their gas engines over him.

You've listed things that could go wrong without citing specific errata. Should we just assume that hardware doesn't work as documented? It seems premature to deem the feature buggy without having tried it.
I'm not the author but my guess is that the API returns whether the number is registered with iMessage or not- like if you type in a number in a new text message it shows whether the message you're sending will be an iMessage or a text message. Don't think the author was spamming random numbers.
I had an AirPod pro (2nd gen) become weirdly quiet. Still under warranty, Apple replaced it. It's some weird device failure.

No kidding!

GP's point stands though, how are you supposed to get there from the submission?

I assume if you subscribed to the mailing list yourself the patch would be attached, but afaict TFA doesn't even show that.

I don't really understand how people can work like this, not anti-email, or everything must be GitHub, or anything - but it can still be a lot more modern and featureful than this can't it? I don't really understand why it isn't.
This seems in direct contrast to reality. The long-range RWD model 3 (360mi of range) is available for $35K (after federal tax credit). That's more bang-for-the-buck than I've seen for any car in my lifetime. I'm not aware of any class competitor that's even mildly close.

The problem is not really author-paid fees. It's the fact that paper count and citation count is so important in the first place.

Actually, if you want to fix the problem, peer-review should be rewarded rather than publications, with accurate peer-review and unbiased evaluations. Publication count should not be nearly as valued, and peer-review should not be anonymous.
Happy to see that none of my Vanguard funds are listed.
I'd believe that better if Meta didn't also deliberately provide a sideloading mechanism and encourage homebrew.

That’s what marketing is, but as individuals we should seek to understand the goal of marketing so we don’t blindly fall for it. It’s not real.

As the old saying goes… we spend money we don’t have, on things we don’t need, to impress people we don’t care about.

We can choose to not do that, and the marketing department can go to hell.
It depends on what you mean by "soon". For sure, it's not happening next year. But within 5 years I think the hardware will get to a point where it's possible, and then within 10 it will be compelling.

The "strapping computers to their faces" meme is just stupid hyperbole. It's no more insightful than declaring that nobody wants to stuff a computer into their pocket - when 99% of people now carry smart phones (and mostly, large ones - as large as they can possibly fit).
My favorite pet theory is that Musk taking over Twitter is to disentangle the bureaucratic and journalistic class from the direct Tumblr/4chan content pipeline they've all been drinking from for years. The only way he could make it work was to make the space as distasteful as possible. I'm giving him way too much credit, of course, but I can dream.

Then reduce state stored in user code by storing "important state" in user code?

I don't find the example convincing. It seems like any more complexity beyond this toy example puts you right back where you started. Building components by hand is stone age ideology regardless of how you push state.

Is your homelab geographically distributed? Because if it is not then you aren’t going to get much better durability than a single host.
I bet this was an interesting project but just backing up your files to S3 or some other offsite storage is a lot simpler and much more durable to real failures.
> We cancelled ours when he tweeted and insinuated there were valid reasons for someone sneaking into the Pelosi house and hitting her husband in the head with a hammer

Actually it is you who is insinuating something, incorrectly. You’re suggesting that Musk said the attack was justified. He didn’t. He retweeted an article that suggested a connection between the attacker and Paul Pelosi, and Musk added, “There is a tiny possibility there might be more to this story than meets the eye.” Musk was careful to acknowledge that the chance that there was more to the story was low (“tiny possibility”). He also later deleted his own tweet within a few hours of it being posted.

I don’t see a problem with people speculating about what may have happened. We know what happens when speculation is not allowed - you get situations like the lab leak theory being incorrectly suppressed until it is too late to investigate WIV or hold the CCP accountable. As for why people speculated anything in the Pelosi situation at all: the official recording of the police interaction in this incident has Paul Pelosi telling police that David was a “friend”. This caused people to search for reasons this friend would be visiting the home at odd hours.
That is sort of whataboutism commenting. While yes, but still, not the point being argued.
> The code is gone once it applies

Until you need to update a change or upgrade something or patch a security issue. The most dangerous code is code that doesn't run often. Like backup restores. Ticking time bombs unless you're really careful.

> Bringing k8s into the mix is a whole other application layer that's providing services to your code. Things like sgs for pods, cni plugins, coredns, is code that wouldn't be there in a non k8s world.

The same applies to everything running around your tech stack that you didn't write. That includes the language runtime, the compiler, the operating system, all OS libraries you use, and the libraries your app imports. The ship has sailed and K8S isn't much of an addition.

I haven't hit a CNI bug in probably 5 years and that was only on Amazon's horrible CNI code. I've hit a ton of bugs in my software stack. And the libraries I depend on. And my deployment stack. And my cross-service networking stack at the application layer.

Unfortunately this is not the case.

It’s rare, but it is still something important to note, especially if you have beliefs that are unsavory to those in power.

A high quality 4k stream is about 20mbit/sec. 16k resolution would only have 16x the amount of pixels. Assuming bitrates scale proportionally to resolution, that would only be 320mbit/sec.

So if you want to max out a 1tbit connection, you would need something closer to 900k resolution.

The world also likes to chew up people they once lionized who end up being deeply flawed. He had business making technology, but he has no business being in politics. He is literally the richest person on the planet, and the way that works is you no longer have any problems that anyone can relate to, and you can afford to not listen to literally anything that makes you uncomfortable. He's gone down a very dark path through his choices - choices that serve him and his ego above all. No wonder the only person he has anything in common with anymore is Donald Trump.
