I'm confused by this.

Most forms of cooking produce really alarming levels of particulate polution, regardless of the energy source.

If you have adequate ventilation to address the pollution from the cooking itself, then that is more than enough to address the combustion products.

From a policy perspective, cooking is a major energy sink that significantly occurs during peak hours (and outside of solar production)-- moving 100% of that load to the electrical grid seems far from desirable.

Particularly when the issue could (and should) be addressed with improved ventilation requirements for cooking areas, esp in California where the outside weather is usually mild enough that better ventilation isn't a big deal.
Yes. I'd be surprised if exit without parentheses quit the interactive shell when it doesn't quit a normal python script.
this actually completely turned me off from python when I first encountered it. I was like... "the program KNEW WHAT I WAS TRYING TO DO, and instead of just DOING that it ADMONISHED me, fuck Python" LOL

The proliferation of Python has only made my feelings worse. Try running a 6 month old Python project that you haven't touched and see if it still runs. /eyeroll
I basically agree. There were a lot of things: Web 2.0, smartphones (as you say and mobile more broadly), broadband had been coming in but really blossomed and a lot of things associated with it... So there was definitely a dot-bomb with a lot of knock-on effects in the tech sector but people who were able to wiggle through a few years to the other side, like I was albeit with not great comp, were mostly OK and generally weren't as affected by 2008 as a lot people outside tech were.

If I compared it to the service provider in Guinea, I can also say that you are overpaying way too much.
> Can you be more specific? I never used WhatsApp.

Yes. I am from Brazil. Everyone in Brazil uses WhatsApp. Over 90% of brazilians have WhatsApp installed. It's news here when the WhatsApp messages of government employees and politicians are leaked. There is no such thing as a phone number anymore, people ask you for your WhatsApp. They even shorten it to "zap", as in "what's your zap?". Phone numbers are just a thing you need to have a WhatsApp. If you do not have a WhatsApp, you're just not going to communicate with people. There's just too much friction for it to happen efficiently.

I have Signal and Matrix installed. Zero people use it to message me. Everyone who ever sent me a message through Signal went back to messaging me over WhatsApp shortly afterwards because that's where all of their other contacts are and there's just less friction that way.

It is what it is.

> Why do you need app for that?

Because the banks want to do things like prevent fraud and money laundering, and apps let them do things like "verify device integrity" as well as suck up as much identifying information about you as possible, letting them know that it's really you and therefore that the transactions you are trying to do are legitimate and shouldn't get blocked.

Here in Brazil I have to go to a bank agency and have them "authorize" specific devices. I'm not kidding. It actually used to be worse. We used to have "bank security plugins" for browsers which were basically rootkits and you could not log into a bank's website without these things installed. Many years ago I poked at one of those things and caught it intercepting every network connection. There's a package for one of these "modules" in the Arch Linux AUR right now. Who the hell knows what that thing does.

Personally I think they should just suck it up and eat the losses. Fraud and money laundering do not justify the sacrifice of our computing freedom. I literally do not care if they're losing billions of dollars, just write it off as a business expense or something. But compared to banks I am poor and powerless so all I can do is try to convince others that I'm right, thereby spreading my ideas.
Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

"Convincing everyone in the world to not commit crime" isn't a reasonable ask. What Apple did is actively working.
One thing that’s frustrating is that everyone is converging to a few form factors instead of trying to fill each other’s gaps. There aren’t really any sporty things, and even the F-150 electric is only barely at 150-class specs (the bed is tiny).

Also, the number of boneheaded moves by the legacy car companies is astounding.

Ford just pushed their roadmap out a few years. Stellantis has nothing(?). Chevy dropped the ball by discontinuing their best model and then deciding not to pursue the “people that own cell phones” market segment.

I think the list of top ten global automakers will be very different in ten years. These companies seem likely to be on it (no particular order), based on current lineups of native EV platforms:

Tesla, Rivian, Volvo (polestar), Kia, Mercedes, BMW, Hyundai, and probably Ford, despite the delays.

I’m leaving Genesis and Vinfast off my US-centric list, but they’re certainly contenders.

Trey can ban the Switch, but offline games will continue to work. Also the account doesn't get banned, so you can buy a new one. (Speaking from experience, unfortunately) You can still play the new Zelda, just can't play Splatoon, Mario Kart, or Smash online then on the banned Switch. It's possible but arduous to rescue the saves off the banned Switch if you have access to a second modded Switch that is not banned (also speaking from experience) and use homebrew to back up and restore your saves, then launch them all from sysMMC with legitimately owned versions of those games and let the cloud save feature kick in. Animal Crossing has a separate dedicated save tool.

Block Nintendo servers, disable auto updates, use separate sysMMC and emuMMC with no unauthorized games or DLC run on the sysMMC. If you follow the main guide everyone uses now, it's pretty safe. But updating becomes a more difficult and manual process. Have to grab a zip of the new firmware from the 'net on your PC and copy it to the SD card to be installed via a homebrew method. Installing games, game updates, and DLC is similarly manual. It's not like the PS3, Vita, and 3DS(?) where you can pull it all off of official servers easily.

Oh yeah, and we're stuck with a "tethered jailbreak", that's perhaps the worst part. Any time you turn off the hacked Switch it needs to be sent a payload from your PC or phone to boot up again then.

Whether it's all worth it depends on your needs I suppose. You could get a bunch of tournament setups going with Smash (or another fighting game) + all DLC for your LAN party and save a bit of money. You can try out new singleplayer games before buying them physically. You can mod games and run emulators. Honestly the Switch scene seems largely less cool than what we had with the 3DS or Wii (Wii U was a little disappointing as well). I barely touch my Switch(es) since getting a Steam Deck.
Seems pretty obvious everyone involved wants to cast off the not for profit structure and make a trillion dollars. Might as well get it over with.
quick aside note:
i heard great things about supabase and wanted to use it for auth. I wanted to maintain my own db, user tables etc.

but using supabase for auth, this means if need to play w RLS but i had a very simple db design and didn't want to include rls yet. supabase won't let me do it afaik.

so i switched to using ory/kratos ultimately.

also q, how heavily are we dependent on supabase ecosystem if all we want is the db?
5-10% is only realistic in economies playing catch-up. Fully developed economies grow closer to 2%.
Exactly. The idea of global trade is supposed to be about comparative advantage. Let Iceland with their cheap geothermal power make aluminum and trade it for US agriculture. But since the shipping container, trade is no longer that. It's about allowing businesses to circumvent the labor and pollution controls at home leaving local industry uncompetitive.

Tariffs are taxes, and good taxes will promote things we want and decentivize things we don't want. I'm much more sympathetic to complaints about solar panel tarrifs than I am about tariffs on cheap purses and fidget spinners.
But also custom ASICS are no longer necessary because things are so fast and military acquisitions are much slower than commercial development: the state of the art commercial tech state of the art will go through several iterations before a single military product is released so why chase the bleeding edge?

Unless they have really classified tech like a productively useful quantum computer or something, it’s just a better idea all around to use off the shelf or very slightly modified off the shelf parts. (Feature flags, extra testing, expanded environmental margins, etc, but not total redesigns)

It's an SUV and I think most people know that and if not a ton of people buy $70k+ pick up trucks when they really only need a normal SUV or car anyway, so it's not like the market was full of rational behaviour and clearly defined work vs consumer marketing by the vendors.
You’re arguing that the power of PowerShell is pointless because you’ve resorted to alternatives to bash… because it’s not good enough for common scenarios.

This is Stockholm Syndrome.

Right. There is nothing preventing Samsung or Huawei or Google or anyone else from making a similar system for their phones if it works as intended.

> Pgvector is very slow, seconds to 10’s of seconds, on filter and order by queries

This is an absurd claim to make with no qualification on index type, number of rows, etc. Really undermines the authority of the post, even though the other points are fair albeit obvious from the docs (pgvector has no keyword or hybrid search, negated words, or match highlighting).

In comparison pgvecto.rs does look more promising in some of these aspects, some docs here: https://docs.pgvecto.rs/faqs/comparison-pgvector.html
SIEM = Security Information & Event Management

Factually, it is necessary for auditing and absolutely correlates with the extreme of needing to monitor the “usage” of “secrets”.

In a highly auditable/“secure” environment, you can’t give secrets to employees with no tracking of when the secrets are used.
In my opinion this blog post is a little bit misleading about the difference between o1 and earlier models. When I first heard about ARC-AGI (a few months ago, I think) I took a few of the ARC tasks and spent a few hours testing all the most powerful models. I was kind of surprised by how completely the models fell on their faces, even with heavy-handed feedback and various prompting techniques. None of the models came close to solving even the easiest puzzles. So today I tried again with o1-preview, and the model solved (probably the easiest) puzzle without any kind of fancy prompting:

https://chatgpt.com/share/66e4b209-8d98-8011-a0c7-b354a68fab...

Anyways, I'm not trying to make any grand claims about AGI in general, or about ARC-AGI as a benchmark, but I do think that o1 is a leap towards LLM-based solutions to ARC.
The extra up front cost and greater long term depreciation of a Corolla EV or civic EV is not worth it compared to a gas hybrid car for anyone that drives 10k miles per year, maybe even 15k miles per year.

Toyota’s gas hybrid tech has decades of track record that they will hold their value.
Why do you say the middle east isn’t already in?
I've definitely bought a few extra phones that I would not have otherwise due to having them stolen and most people I know are in the same boat.

You'd be surprised how much e-waste theft creates. Often only a few parts can be sold off or reused, much better to prevent the theft.
Yah, sorry, I was also short for time to the point of extreme brevity but not to the point of delaying responses until I had more time for this whole thread. I should have also given the example of t he ideal male BMI being 18-25 so call it 22 and over 30 BMI being obese which, on a 5'10" person (pretty average for a male) corresponds to roughly 154 lbs vs roughly 205 lbs for a 50 lb spread. It's not the 10-20 lb spread that is probably seasonally normal. Trying to reverse that with just exercise is a gargantuan task, it's primarily diet that will reverse something like that (but you definitely should still exercise, it does all sorts of good things for your body on a reasonable schedule with reasonable recovery periods, especially resistance training, which is more true the older you are)
Try running a 6 month old Python project that you haven't run in that time and report back.

As someone who always trades in old devices, I promise you every single reseller willing to buy your phone will have these instruction as part of their “sell to us” process. I’ve used at least 3-4 different places over the years.

Send them a locked device, they’ll send it back because it’s unsellable.

No legit place is buying locked devices. Which means they don’t sell them.

"Took", past tense?
I agree. Many of us might have risked starvation (or maybe just lots of inconvenience) without 7-11 in Japan.

I hope Lawsons and Family Mart are also categorized similarly.
The problem with that attitude is that there is a lot of stuff that is available on AliExpress that is just not purchaseable anywhere else, at any price. I would rather support US manufacturing, and I do vote that way with my dollars whenever I can. But when I want to play with a camera board, and I don't need the best (you usually don't need the best, and I'm skilled enough at these things that I can respond appropriately if I choose poorly and buy a total piece of crap), my choices are $5 from AliExpress, $50 from other grey-market sources that get me the exact same board, $500 for a "name brand" product that turns out to be made in China, or $5000 for a "Made in USA" part that is just as flaky (probably because no one buys it to debug it)... if I am just prototyping feasibility it is an easy choice. And that's before we get to Chinese-designed stuff that is offered nowhere else in the world. They do make some interesting things in China, and AliExpress is often how they offer them to the world.

I also have a German tool habit. I do not want to deal with US Customs every time I import another set of nice $80 tools to replace mine (which is usually because I've gifted them to someone else/hooked them on high quality stuff). I do not want US trade rules to make my life harder just because Temu is full of crap.

Is there not another way to hit back at these guys?
I was in and among that set for the last 12 years. Plenty of people travel for fun because someone else is paying. Many conferences are nowhere near a central location and instead are in somewhere exotic because one of the organizers wanted it there. This never sat well with me, but is completely standard and almost never questioned.
I'm not sure you'd really see much zipping along the ground at 18,000 miles an hour.
The movie is streaming for free on Tubi (hot tip: ad blockers still work on Tubi). It's pretty good even if I hate the simplification of the dialogue -- in the beginning Ishmael talks of visiting "the oceans" rather than the more poetic "watery parts of the world".
Heh maybe if that's what you need.
Does Rust have something like a reader macro where you can have arbitrary syntax for a bit?
This tests vision, not intelligence. A reasoning test dependent on noisy information is borderline useless.

I had a similar issue. Followed all the instructions by Apple on preparing the laptop for a new owner: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102773 and then gave it to the neighbor's kid for their school. It has the whole hello page, but turned out they had to login as me first. The standard part was that the laptop contributed being listed on my devices and I couldn't remove it, UNTIL we logged in once again as me - after a full wipe. I figured either I messed up the process or got stuck in an edge case flow. Either way, it would have been very annoying if the new user wasn't living close and somebody I knew.
iPhones can have a long life as used devices. And some of the parts are very expensive.

Given the cost of holding inventory is low (parts are relatively small) and even if you’re forced to sit on it for years it could still be worth a fair bit, that may bring the problem back.

I think the only reasonable solution to letting parts back in would be to let Apple mark them as ok if given to Apple for free. Apple could remove the blacklist entry and put them back on the secondary market. But because no one paid Apple anything they would be able to be sure that no one was profiting by turning parts around.

Of course Apple would be making money when they sell those parts. So I’m sure there are some people who would really object to this idea.
A Corolla or Civic EV implies a relatively cheap, really good quality, reliable car that holds its value. Not literally those bodies on an electric platform, but something that embodies those characteristics in an electric vehicle. I guess I used to have faith that if anyone could crack that problem, it would be the two Japanese giants.
> and then deciding not to pursue the “people that own cell phones” market segment.

How would one even do that?
I think that's probably fair. I know very qualified people who are having trouble finding jobs. I don't personally care all that much but a number of opportunities post semi-retirement haven't really materialized. Which is fine but would probably have been different in different times.
Fortunately, Anthropic is doing an excellent job at matching or beating OpenAI in the user-facing models and pricing.

I don’t know enough about the technical side to say anything definitive, but I’ve been choosing Claude over ChatGPT for most tasks lately; it always seems to do a better job at helping me work out quick solutions in Python and/or SQL.
From his past posts it seemed he had gotten involved in politics; that may have taken some of his attention away from pinboard.
> If it were true that financiers on the whole make profits slowly for years and then, every once in a while, lose them all and more in sudden “black swan” events, then there should be some way to lose money slowly for years and then suddenly make it all back and more. Black swans are awful in traditional finance, but they’re the winning lottery ticket in venture capital.

Isn't this what every VC is doing? This is why VCs invest in a bunch of startups and expect most of them to fail.

Matt Levine writes about this a lot; he talks about how the real risk for VCs isn't losing 100% on a failed startup, the risk is missing out on the one that hits it big.

I am not sure why the writer thinks this strategy is novel.
With the federal government the options are do things slowly or not at all.

This.

It’s weird that people equate Computer Science to Software Engineering. TOTALLY different!

In fact, you could argue that you could do compsci bachelors and at the end come out knowing everything theoretically but not know how to actually code well. Compare this to a software engineer undergrad - the whole time you should be coding!
> Ideally secrets never leave secure enclaves and humans at the organization can't even access them.

Right, but doesn't that mean there is no risk from sending employee laptop ENV variables, since they shouldn't have any secrets on their laptops?
The developer notes:

As such, unprivileged users are permitted to write and execute functions without the possibility that they will be able to access information or resources that are not allowed to access. This is accomplished by enforcing Haskell's strong type system.

Further on, it says:

Trusted functions must return type PGm (Maybe result) where result is the appropriate Haskell type as determined by the return type of function while untrusted functions must return type IO (Maybe result). The PGm monad type can be imported from the PGutils module.

This makes some sense intuitively, but it would be good to see the details worked out. There is always `unsafePerformIO`, after all...
I guess. I was never a programmer and I guess my last job was pretty nych hit the ground running--at least I was told I did. But not sure how much it's the norm.
@dang;

I understand your point (the letter) but disagree with its spirit.

One should not tolerate attempts to intentionally "sweep under the rug" documented genocides and distort History just because it involves someone's Religion (their in-group). It is easy to be blind to genocides if one is not forced to face up to them, admit their faults and change their ways. Else the vicious cycle keeps spinning to the detriment of Society as a whole. Hence my forceful attempt to show up a person who intentionally was downplaying documented genocides. Note that most of my data/articles are from wikipedia (curated database and hence less susceptible to fake news/specific narratives/gaming) and not some opinion piece to push a narrative.

As you are very well aware, there are insidious groups trying to game the system at HN (and elsewhere) to push their narratives. They are not interested in the Truth/Factual Data/Social Accountability etc. but are only interested in distorting reality to their benefit (see Orwell's essay on Nationalism). These people/groups need to be called out forcefully even if it means not obeying all rules of etiquette. It is in that spirit that i wrote my comments.
There should just be a command for this. Like echo with a color flag that does something if you’re in a tty.
No. It still results in people stealing a bunch of phones and then warehousing them and every 16 months a new batch are ready.

Phone thieves, especially in Europe are the scum of the earth and I’d like to see them destroyed.

A landfill is a choice. You can always send a phone to Apple for recycling. You can drop off at any Apple Store as well.
It's worth noting that the F150 Lightning has a cavernous frunk, so that 5.5' bed turns out to be just fine, depending on your use case.
One theory I heard is that Dario was always interested in RL whereas Ilya was interested in other stuff until more recently. So Anthropic could have had an earlier start on some of this latest RL stuff.
