Nice! I thought about trying to port Tribes 2 but I never played it myself so it wasn't high on my list. My HumbleNet repo would be a good starting point but some changes may be required for it to work. It's not at the point where it can drop in and work on any game, although I think it would be possible to get there.
Britain also has "dwelling designations" like "3FL" (third floor left) commonly used to describe unnumbered flats (which may well have numbers or not). I suspect this way of referring to flats is unofficial, but it is commonly seen on letters.
Note that Canon has been shipping cameras that intend to do this since 2002.

Android apps can call into native code via JNI, which the platform supports.
This article made me aware of this monstruosity: https://www.wired.com/review/amazon-smart-oven/ honestly this gives such a weird unfocused company vibe.

Regarding the Echo show displaying ads, I would advocate anyone to throw it out. It's mind-numbing to me that you can pay for a product only for it to display unwanted ads.

I could only hope that the EU would ban it ASAP if such a product existed making it unviable anywhere else. Except maybe China and such, should be pretty useful for the CCP enforcement agencies.
Yes, Android apps can and do have native libraries. Sometimes this can be part of a SDK, or otherwise out of the developers control.
Its not one thing but a combination of factors.

- Police budgets getting slashed and police forces being reduced.

- Legislation like Prop47 (which made shoplifting of goods < $950 a misdemeanor).

- Progressive DA's refusing to prosecute low level crimes.

Individually all these changes aren't so bad and make sense on paper, but put them together in practice and it's a recipe for disaster. If you're a criminal thinking about robbing a store in SF for example, you know that:

1. The police likely won't show up so you likely won't get caught

2. Even if you do get caught, as long as you stole < $950, you get a slap on the wrist and the DA won't prosecute the crime.

Personally I think CA needs a "3 strikes" style law for low level petty crimes like shoplifting. The problem I keep hearing is that even if someone gets arrested for shoplifting, they are back out on the street the next day and there's no greater punishment for repeat offenders, so as a result you get a small group of people that do most of the crime and get arrested 50+ times per year with no consequence besides getting locked up for one night (at most).
How is "photos as home screen" not just a built-in feature? Like, every device with a screen that I've owned for 20 years has this in some form. No cloud services required. What a farce.
He's the CEO of EssilorLuxottica saying that they've sold more units of the latest version in a few months than the previous version did in 2 years.

fwiw I failed to figure it out as a human, I had to check the replies.
The linked article says:

> He [Epperson] is currently conducting a multisite study in Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Louis that examines the development and implementation of deferred prosecution programs, a prosecutor-led innovation to divert people with nonviolent charges from traditional criminal justice processing.

Seems reasonable to me, and a far cry from "an explicit, open policy of not prosecuting petty crime" that is somehow country-wide.
you can also do 2M and 1G huge pages on x86, it gets kind of silly fast.
That is very easy to cheat though. Two obvious ones: a different unit is held open every month; or these units are closed for remodeling. Until you get to long term 40% vacancy it is really hard to tell - and be careful not to kill rural small towns that no longer have demand and so apartments that will never be full anymore get torn down thus harming the few renters who remain (since it isn't worth replacing the building at current rents and many cannot afford the rent that a new apartment would need just to be worth building)

I think the point of wolfram's essay is that you don't need the base unit of computation to be a dot product
We did that already and was a great hit. I’m pretty sure his stuff is what ignited this for my child.
Disagree, I’ve been coordinating a lot of things lately–house projects, social events, travel, healthcare, work, etc etc–and have basically had a phone glued to my hand, which means i’m one hand down and constantly cranking my neck. if i could go hands free and be able to mind tasks, even menial ones like laundry and cooking, while researching things online, going through phone menus, messaging with people etc, it would really help. i think we are getting really close to that capability with chatgpt voice mode, we just need a piece of hardware that can bridge the gap.
Though tbf (assuming they haven't changed it since I left), Royal Mail's responsibility stopped at the post room. The individual residences were delivered by UoW staff using a pigeon hole type system; anything larger than a letter and you had to go to the post room to pick it up.
Reading this is depressing. The best decision I ever made was talking to a realtor, who connected me with a good lender, and buying a place. It wasn't easy but continuing to assume ownership was out of reach, and throwing money away on a rental, in hindsight would have been far worse.

It took a very long time for the source code for e.g. ZZT to be published, precisely because they apparently lost the code. https://github.com/asiekierka/almost-of-zzt Even then that had some third party comments removed from it.
The nice (ish) thing about Apple is that since they price everything stupidly high, I have some faith they're making a profit.

I don't think Alexa makes money. I'm pretty sure the hardware is sold at a loss, with the intention it gets you to buy shit through Amazon with it. Which - obviously - no. Nobody is shopping via voice, that was always a stupid idea.
But we have a common understanding of what "mostly empty space" looks like and what we perceive as solid objects don't look like it.

That is because you only have one or a few units. When you have many units the numbers work out very different for empty units in exchange for higher rent.
I only use mine as a timer/clock and even that is becoming more rare. Every other feature is so add encumbered as to be useless. Echo is dying, quickly.
You appear to be making an incorrect assumption that I said "zero new housing". I did not. I said near-zero.

In your comment you explicitly specified that the whole country should adopt the same price controls as SF.

SF's price controls are sufficiently onerous that nearly no new housing is built there.
Honestly, this is a shame, because I think a lot of the vision pro's flaws are Apple problems.

That said, meta seems to have found a sweet spot in price/performance, so maybe in a few generations we will have something with the quality of vision pro that is not locked down

This should be your operating assumption from Day 1.
If you had a journey that wasn't entirely by ICE there's a good chance one leg wasn't DB. It's seamless - you still booked one continuous ticket through DB's website. This is opposed to the operators like FlixTrain which run entirely separate systems and can't be booked on the same ticket.
I use all three of those things every day... Couldn't imagine my life without them now.
One might say it's also pretty petty to call out a casual usage of a notation being used in a way that people in the thread are understanding just fine...
Just a note on vacancy targets, I worked for a MF REIT (~33k units) and pre-YieldStar their average target occupancy was around 97% for properties. After YieldStar was implemented the average dropped to more like 95%. As far as I'm aware, the other large managers also targeted the mid-to-high 90s.

In other words, they are socializing the costs. Servers and electricity aren't free. Wouldn't it be better for the customer if they had no accident forgiveness and passed those cost savings along? Instead, you are paying for other peoples mistakes plus all the extra overhead caused from fraud that they incentivized.
Entanglement is neither a bond between two objects nor a setting up of two objects in the same way. Entanglement derives from the fact that quantum mechanical systems have properties which are non-local with respect to the "process" of measurement that do not depend on the physical size of the system in question. Its actually suspect to say that "particles" are entangled at all - the entanglement is a property of the wave function in which the particles identities are (with respect to the quantity that is entangled) indistinct.
are we really going to recompile all our operating systems, software and embedded firmware and move to RISC-V to save SoC designers royalties to ARM? We have ARM SBCs, accelerators, servers and laptops. Finally a common ISA and we're throwing it out why? because of some virtue signaling from Berkeley. it's a spectacular waste of time and will fail IMO
The whole post is about this accidental billing situation.
Upwork stuff tends to be confidential, so I can't share anything that interesting, but:

* Fixing tests in my automation platform. I made some UI changes that broke them all...

* An OSHW ESP32 control board that's meant to be pretty much halfway between a PLC and just an Arduino.

* An I2C addon board for said controller using the CH32 20 cent micro

* Proper light sleep support for CircuitPython on the ESP32(I already got WiFi power save config done!)
Other than the obvious privacy angle, is that why Apple want to do almost everything on device? No services to run, just let people pay the price of actually producing the device and the software and not worry about the running cost?
the biggest reason of I am not using aws, google cloud, vercel etc... for my personal projects is surprise bills. I am not earning anything from them so I can only put $50 but can't afford $500 or $5000. so still i will feel much more secure if I can put hard limit and absolutely sure my bill will never go above $50. (or cloud billing insurance :))

but you got my attention, i can try fly.io
This makes no sense to me at all. The bus leaves when it is done unloading and loading. There is no question of fairness here, it is not like someone made the fries you were waiting for and gave them to the wrong person.

In a network metaphor, you do not halt all other TCP connection on a system because one TCP connection was stalled by a lost packet, in the name of fairness. No one would ever want that.

The people on the full bus can easily see that they are not moving because they are still unloading. Who would see another empty bus passing by and thinking "those people should be made to wait"?

In my experience on the subway, a train will start SKIPPING STATIONS when they are bunched together, forcing me to get off and wait for another train entirely. So I don't think fairness is the reasons buses keep their order.
a HUGE part of this is current drug-use trends. Opioids are having a sea-change impact on society. This is hugely complex, involving everything from pharma "legit" drugs, to global trade patterns & efficiencies, how we view, treat and punish drug use, the people in our communities impacted the most, and pretty much every other dimension. It's not the same thing as say, heroin, when ANYBODY could (knowingly or not)use fentanyl once and die, or become incredibly addicted so quickly.
There is no reason why your needs require a datacenter backed device.
No, it would be worse if we "passed these cost savings along".

It is honestly ridiculous that the judge thinks she knows better than the shareholders.

The original plan had some procedural defects, great. Levy a fine. But don't infringe shareholder rights to determine compensation, and certainly don't award billions to the guy with 9 shares.
Couldn't hurt to keep an eye on the account to make sure those dummies don't start tacking on some "account dormancy fee" or other nonsense like that.
Seems like court order would have been the easier option, but courts intimidate people.
My understanding is that moving violations are perceived as high risk, low reward.

(1) The stop is dangerous because you don't know who the vehicle occupants are. If the driver is medium bad and runs, the public has low appetite for high speed pursuits that may cause collateral damage or put the public in danger. There's also the chance it's a very bad guy... someone in a stolen vehicle with a warrant out for a murder charge. Are they going to just give up and come quietly? Probably not.

(2) For a given region there is a list of things that the DA and/or judges are perceived as being soft on. There's little/no appetite from LEO to apprehend bad guy who is just going to be back out on the street a short time later.

So to the LEO, you want me to pull people over for speeding, but if it's a medium bad person they flee -> no pursuit allowed, and if it's a very bad person maybe they attack me? No thx, I'll wait for dispatch to call.

I presume you are either in the US or Europe. I understand your point. Alas, not everyone is based in countries where civil liberties are not completely eroded. That said, even in the US civil cases with or without merit can destroy a business and individual.

It's by the way interesting idea that developing countries entertrainment industries may develop very differently due to internet piracy being already prevalent, though foreign investment may lead to this not happening, IE an "agreement" like TiSA or TTP will mean laws that lead to loss of investments like "no copyright" would become "illegal."

I'd hope someone prepares for that, and when it happens proposes a vote or public address, for laws that make the attempts backfire.
There was a time when you didn't "need" a PC, either, and they were seen as just nerd toys and things yuppies used to balance their checkbooks, back when "balancing your checkbook" was a thing you had to do. This changed with the advent of the Web, and held until desktops gave way to smartphones. If you could time-travel back to the 80s and 90s, plenty of folks would have scoffed that anyone would ever "need" a computer, let alone a computer in their pocket. But a lot of that is because "a computer" was a bulky beige thing with a CRT monitor, and maybe if you were really into it a 2400 baud modem. But then you'd have to splurge for a second phone line or pick which device to use, the modem or the phone.

So I'd be wary of writing off AR/MR/XR as a dead end, as opposed to a technology that still needs more innovation to reach the mainstream. Glasses themselves are mainstream, and have been for centuries. What's holding AR devices back is the ability to miniaturize the necessary holographic technology, as well as the batteries and processing power. This will eventually be solved, just like an iPhone now has more processing power than the supercomputers of decades before.

The problem with VR will always remain the same. You can't interact with other people while you have a big thing on your face that's designed to supplant your entire field of view, which limits desirable use cases.
USP is Unique Selling Proposition?
Right, assuming there’s more supply than demand. In markets with low vacancy rates like Manhattan, landlords get away with murder (terrible maintenance, making renters pay for gatekeeping rental agents, high rent despite being shitholes, etc). In markets with higher vacancy rates, prices tend to be a lot more reasonable, and units tend to be somewhat better maintained, because they don’t have the same pricing power, and if they’re too bad, they won’t be rented unless they’re extremely cheap.

I'm pretty convinced that AR and specifically headset AR is just a dead end. No amount of sensors or pixels are going to make it viable for anything besides some tiny niches. VR is fun and has some uses. Everything else just needs a tactile keyboard or touchscreen.
Sounds like removing the supply constraints would be a better strategy.
"Hovel" is the opposite of industrial housing, etymologically, and evokes the images of ad-hoc slums rather than soviet-style brutalist blocks. Industrial housing is a step up from what OP described (no running water or electricity).

I will also note that the currently in-vogue 5-over-1s lean heavily towards "Industrial housing". Funny how diffent economic systems both with a captive market converged towards no-frills housing.
It is absolutely still a vulnerability; there's no way to protect yourself against someone who can read the sequence numbers anywhere in the middle of the network. Crypto can help you detect this but not prevent it.

RST attacks in particular are common enough to make TCP completely unsuitable for reliable long-term connections. And since TCP is also unsuitable for short-term connections, that leaves UDP the only option.
Thomas, every time I read something you write it's a delight. I love your writing style, and it reads to me like you're always putting effort into making it succinct yet unambiguous, without unnecessary embellishment.
Counterpoint: Newtonian Gravity could be considered profoundly wrong since it presupposes a structure for space and time which is fundamentally wrong.

I think that's pretty ignorant of historical materialism.

Humanity itself, insofar as its brain was made possible by new modes of nutrient-assimilation from the environment, is inherently technological. Nature is updated by work.
Except for things like student accounts, which we're working on, I don't think hard limits are coming any time soon. Our expectation is that the enforcement of hard billing limits would mostly make customers furious with us. If you read to the end of the post, the direction we're going is preemptive detection of weird billing spikes, so you don't even have to notice and ask us.

If you're really only looking to spend $50, we should put our cards on table and say that we're generally not making product pricing decisions with you in mind. If your needs are pretty straightforward, there are hosting providers that will do a better job of serving that business than we will.
Yes you're on the right track: there isn't any 'action' between the two systems, it's a correlation. However, here's the thing that fries my brain: for classical systems correlation means the pre-existing value of some property is correlated (e.g. if I take a random glove out of a pair, the moment I look at the one I picked I know the handedness of the other). In the quantum case there isn't a pre-existing value for the property you're measuring (because you're free to pick the measurement basis), and you can't say one measurement outcome caused the other because you can set up the measurements to happen outside of each other's light cone (so you are free to pick which measurement happens first by changing reference frame).

So: how does particle A "know" how to produce the correct correlation if 1) the value is produced 'on the spot' and 2) there isn't a well-defined causal order between measurement of A and B?
What I would rather see is a 4th branch (police/fire/emr) added that focuses on drugs. Sending police for a drug OD or psychotic episode is gas on the fire; an ambulance can't respond to a potentially dangerous situation without security.
