Why not? The Threads client will run ads. If users prefer the experience (integration to other Meta products, QoL, etc.) then they will use it and watch the ads. If they prefer other clients they will use those.
Aside from not having quite as robust an anti-spam approach as gmail (at least at the start), fastmail has been faster and easier to use than gmail was for me, and that's extremely high praise. Even something as obscure as setting a custom color theme for the web UI is fast and painless. I thought getting off gmail would be difficult but it's been a breeze. (not an ad, though it sounds like one)
From one engineer to another, I've been getting great mileage out of Product leadership podcasts.

Think of it like you're making a career change and immersing yourself in a new circle. Not strictly studying, rather just hanging out and taking it all in.

It helps my brain more fully switch into the "product leader identity". It's been very helpful and fun.

>> That embeds so many assumptions about the economy and where GDP comes from

YUP. Of course there is a strong correlation between energy use and GDP growth; it takes more energy to produce more stuff.

But ultimately, what produces more stuff is harder to measure. To light the factories, more energy used to correlate with more light, until we swap out the incandescent/halogen lighting sources for LEDs. Then, we get more light for something like 16% of the energy usage. Or, getting to the stage of "lights-out" automation, and the same production for zero lighting energy. Same for more efficient motors, swapping ovens for inductive heating, more efficient processes, etc.

Seems that measuring GPD growth by energy consumption is like Bill Gates' famous example of saying that "measuring software progress by lines of code is like measuring progress in aircraft by the weight of the planes". Obviously, in specific cases, all things being equal, more is more, but in reality, fewer LOC and lighter airplanes generally produce more results.
Yes please, this would be very helpful (I’m in Australia).

A 19 year old example doesn't seem great, surely things can change in 20 years.

Also that derailment was truly caused by surpassing the speed limit, which shouldn't even be possible (even more so today). Enforcing a speed limit by block is trivial. Which it looks like is what they did after.
It's a fair point but as others have noted, these mini PCs can be very power efficient. I still need to hook up a meter to mine to see what the wattage is but I'm sure it's far below a typical desktop PC.
My `~/.screenrc` has a comment at the top, which says I created it on "05-May-1994" (before I switched to ISO 8601 dates).

I'm no longer using `screen` on an HP 2392A dumb terminal and PP 14.4kbps modem. But `screen` is still coming in very handy, when working on servers, and for some kinds of developing&running long-running programs on the workstation laptop.

It's also fun, on the occasion that you introduce `screen` or `tmux` to programmers who've been using lesser tools, and they become an instant convert.

Incidentally, given how old the code is, and how there's the potential for various kinds of remote exploits via text (e.g., in SSH session, or in display of user-crafted strings in a console program), I wonder how recently someone has done a rigorous security audit of `screen`.

> A robot (nor the software that runs it) has no inherent rights, as it's a non-sentient creation.

That's not why. We don't know what test could be performed to determine if some future (or present) AI is or isn't sentient, we just assert it and get on with our lives.

No, the reason robots and software have no inherent rights is because the law says so.

As a demonstration proof that this is a purely legal status that has nothing to do with underlying nature, the co-inventors of the automobile did not have many rights afforded to her husband: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertha_Benz

And conversely many such rights do exist for corporations, which are not themselves sentient.

I suspect the writers left this plot hole on purpose. They want you to think about the meaning of it all while alluding that the system uses humans as a source of power.

Try rewatching the movie as a statement on our society and how the system uses human beings or discards them into the sewage when they choose to unplug. As you watch Neo slide out of his pod, think what would happen if you stopped going to work.

When Morpheus shows what the Matrix is for the first time, he shows it on TV! This is how you're plugged into the Matrix. Even now, you're reading this on a screen.

Your criticism is very interesting, but instead of just presenting some abstract ideas of potential problems it would give much more impact to your argument to present some hard evidence that your way of thinking is better.

No, that's not what the law says.

The law says that you need legal representation to be able to do business in Brazil. To sign contracts and pay taxes. Twitter no longer does business (i.e. doesn't sell ads) in Brazil. Twitter fired everyone and left Brazil a few weeks ago.

Twitter is now like Hacker News. A billion-dollar American company (Y) that hosts user-created content, free to be used by anyone on the global Internet.

Hacker News/Y does not need legal representation in Brazil.

> Even to me, a nobody, had guessed at the iphone rumor, before the magically reveal, that it will be become Apple's main product, way surpassing even the ipod.

At the time of discussion with Intel, it was not an explicit phone project, it was _A_ Apple project. Over the years, Apple spent millions on projects to disrupt some markets which either didn't materialize at all or ended up not disruptive/competitive in the market.

There are countless examples of this. Some Moonshot where Apple thought they knew better what the market want to just figure out that it doesn't work.

The project Steve Jobs was talking about could as well have been one of THOSE projects, and Apple tried to get a established and well-working component at a price which would potentially destroy Intels business with its other customers.

> but as CEO of intel, he failed miserably from not putting more effort into the decision making.

But who said that he didn't put effort in the decision making? According to Otellini himself Apple was demanding a price lower than Intel's COST.

At the end of the day, there was a chip that they were interested in that they wanted to pay a certain price for and not a nickel more and that price was below our forecasted cost. I couldn't see it.

Nice marketing that is written for investors. Let us translate:

> By making our Llama models openly available we’ve seen a vibrant and diverse AI ecosystem come to life [...]

They all use the same model and the same transformer algorithm. The model has an EULA, you need to apply for downloading it, the training data set and the training software are closed.

> Open source promotes a more competitive ecosystem that’s good for consumers, good for companies (including Meta), and ultimately good for the world.

So the "competitive" system means that everyone uses LLama and PyTorch.

> In addition to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft’s Azure, we’ve partnered with Databricks, Dell, Google Cloud, Groq, NVIDIA, IBM watsonx, Scale AI, Snowflake, and others to better help developers unlock the full potential of our models.

Sounds really open.
Even the graph that I think is supposed to support the assertion by gesturing towards a link between GDP/c and energy consumption/c shows there's a huge range of per capita energy consumption for countries in the same GDP per capita band hidden because the graph uses dual logarithmic axes.

It's always a little hard to read logarithmic values other than those explicitly labelled but it looks like up to a 5-7x difference in energy consumption can have basically no effect on the GDP per capita!
Neat! I'd love a column for external disk I/O type. I've been trying to build a NAS on a new N100 miniPC but am foiled by the fact that the devices all only have USB ports for I/O. And USB is not reliable enough to run ZFS with a heavy load (kernel errors). I'd love to have something with eSATA or some sort of PCI option.

It's quite a tricky problem; whether or not a page is "paywalled" is not always black and white. Many sites allow X page views before the paywall appears, so visitors will have different experiences depending on whether they've interacted with the site previously. Some sites offer "gift links" that bypass the paywall, but not necessarily forever and always. Sometimes paywalls are regional based on IP address. Some sites only paywall certain stories, so if you're a subscriber to that site it's not clear whether the story you wish to link is behind a paywall for others.

With all of these qualifiers, a "paywall" tag would usually just mean "paywalled for some," and the only way to find out whether it's paywalled for you is to risk wasting that click. So it would not substantially improve the situation.
> But since Rust is not a technical choice, as Rust cannot per-se do things that are impossible in C - you can do anything in C

Yeah there’s very few edge cases, imo, where you need the feedback.

I have home assistant controlling an air conditioner in one room. (Well, mostly Node-RED.)

Every couple minutes it checks the temperature in the room and makes a decision on whether to call for cooling and tells the AC to turn on or off.

If it’s already on and cooling and it tells it to turn on… it’s a no-op, nothing happens. If it tells it to turn on and the command doesn’t go through… the room will stay warm so it will try the same thing in a couple of minutes. Same thing the other way (turning it off).

Dude saw the look on my face and didn't say one word, just gave me money back. I ordered a replacement from Amazon made out of steel.
For software developers, `asdf`[0] and dockerized projects goes a long way. For provisioning the environment variables needed for development, HashiCorp's `vault`[1] can make that pretty simple. Combine that with `direnv` to have it load the value dynamically with:

```

# .envrc

API_KEY=$(vault kv get -field=API_KEY secret/projectA/dev)

```

I also wanted to experiment using `pass`[2] instead, but messing with GPG keyrings and the like is unwieldy and not too user-friendly. It's what I use for personal projects since Vault is overkill.

No, sadly the TDP tells us every little about the idle power cost, which might be where you spend most of your time depending on the workload.

Just from tweaking my laptop, I’ve noticed that when it is really idle (or I’ve intentionally put it in a low frequency mode), the big power drains are the wireless interfaces (don’t forget bluetooth) and the screen (OLED helps as long as the screen is mostly black). Gotta tweak the whole thing.

"Lego has also expanded its brick takeback programme, Replay – where consumers can donate old bricks to the company through free shipping – into the UK and continued to test similar models in the US and Europe."

I wonder what they are doing with the old bricks.

"testing more than 600 alternative materials."

does anyone have a list of the materials they tested? It would be interesting to see what sorts of directions they where going.
I started my career as a field engineer (basically a computer mechanic) on mainframes and minicomputers 47 years ago. For the first 13 years, almost every computer I worked on had front panel switches and lights which was great for writing and debugging tiny diagnostic programs. I wrote those diags directly in machine code because I had the CPU instruction manuals, no access to an assembler, and a fair amount of free time when I worked a midnight shift on call. I'd sit at a desk, writing the machine code on lined paper because the sites I worked at rarely had graph paper in the supply cabinet. At first I had to look up the op codes for the instructions I wanted but I was able to memorize the ones I used most often which made it a quicker process. The fun part was using the toggle switches to enter those instructions and finally to start it running.

After 6 years of being a field engineer and writing exclusively in machine language, I made the switch to being a systems analyst which gave me access to an assembler. That seemed easy after having to calculate relative jumps/subroutine calls for so long.
I don't think it's strictly true, and a system built around it as a rule would be easily manipulated and a bad system.

I'm not proposing it as a rule within any system, though, and my analysis generally holds so long as it's true a meaningful chunk of the time - it doesn't even need to be a majority of cases.
>This "trend" of furniture being made of composite materials makes no sense to me.

Solid wood is expensive, in a lot of the world.

And for furniture, you can't do a good job with cheap wood - if it twists or bows the doors won't close right, or the drawer will be tight. Need a hole in a particular position, but there's a knot? You're going to have a bad time. Wood with loads of knots doesn't look great. And of course, some types of wood cost a lot more than others.

Chipboard with veneer, though? It's super cheap. You can have any colour you like. It machines consistently, with no knots or checks like that. The response to temperature and humidity is even and consistent. If you need more strength, you can just order thicker boards. Sure, you can't leave it outside in the rain - but so what?

The main downside to flat pack furniture is a lot of people don't manage to assemble it right. A nightstand will end up in an awful state if the person who assembled it forgot to nail the back on properly, or used a short screw where a long screw was called for, or put a part in the wrong way around.

Anyone in the know knows where to look to find out the platform before it's "sanctioned for the public to be informed about it".

And no, there isn't always time to stroll to the train, I've seen some really, really late announcements. Couple this with very large countdown timers that they actually added recently to each platform and you can see exactly why people feel stressed and rush.

> They delay platform announcements because they believe that a platform crammed full of waiting passengers will become a crush risk when the arriving passengers start to disembark.

The alternative is forcing them all to wait in the same cramped concourse area (with most space lost to retail units). During disruption, it gets genuinely difficult to move through this area. It has felt unpleasant in normal use for a while, but when there are cancellations and delays it feels positively dangerous. I am not exaggerating when I say that it feels very much like it's only a matter of time before something happens and someone gets crushed or trampled.

There's none of this nonsense at some other London termini, and Birmingham New Street manages to let people wait on the platforms. Why can't Euston?
