I mostly agree, but it is fairly ridiculous that WP Engine has not provided any support or funding to the Wordpress Foundation. I do sometimes think open source orga should be a little more proactive in requesting funding from wealthy for profits who are receiving massive benefits from those nonprofits. Not saying there should be an obligation, but it might good to do some naming and shaming.

I came to pretty much the same conclusions.

My iPhone 15 Pro is at 97% battery health after 287 cycles. My "normal" usage with "optimized charging" will usually result in a phone with 95% - 98% health after a years.

I think the major thing here is number of cycles. I normally charge once per day, at night while sleeping, and with optimized charging i almost never need to charge my phone during the day. With 80% limit enforced i found myself needing to charge late afternoon 2-3 times per week, especially towards the end of the 12 month period.

My point is that i use the same amount of power during a day, regardless of charge limit on the phone, so the number of cycles will be somewhat identical, with the only difference being that with optimized charging i start with 100% battery and plug in around 30%, and with 80% limit i plug in with ~10%, and low SoC (<20%) is almost as bad as high SoC (>80%) for Lithium batteries in EVs, and i doubt it's any different in phones.

> Memory is on by default.

This is a disastrous default.
I think highly likely this is just good old GDPR. Specifically, any personal data used to train the model (which would include any person recording on any audio clip or present in any picture) would have to consent for their personal data being used for the purpose of training OpenAI's model, which they pretty emphatically do not.
I've noticed that Twitter is the only platform that gets any real widespread support for alternatives in the fediverse. I never liked Twitter originally, and I don't like mastodon now. I want federated Instagram and Facebook, but that would require that people I actually know are on these services and not strangers on the internet.
Whisper is incredibly robust, with a vast amount of language. I use it in German as well as English and it's incredibly reliable. Modern, transformer based ASR is a different ballgame.

I've written an article about why I think Godot is a good tool for general app development, not just for building games. The article talks about my experience working with Godot for a mobile app for musicians, as well as some insight from a WIP game project.

I hope you find it useful!

I'm generally radically non-judgmental toward people and a little harder than most on problems.

I don't have a bad opinion of him as a person, although I think he acted dangerously and in a politically motivated way. I think lots of folks were freaking out at the time and their reactions are understandable. I don't expect anyone to be super human. But lots of people were also advocating policies that would (and in some cases did) result in mass death. And I do expect professionals to check themselves and try to prove themselves wrong before they embark on a political mission like he did.

I don't have particularly bad opinion of him as a scientist either. I've known several big name scientist types and usually they're very bright but only really reliable in their established field. You sometimes get to be a big scientist by taking a large contrarian bet, and I would guess he has a natural contrarian streak that served him well in some of his research. The problem with being a contrarian is that you're reactive. Your gradient isn't toward truth it's away from what you perceive as the current central tendency. So you more often end up more wrong than everyone else.

While I don't have a bad opinion of him as a scientist, I do think this episode will make me read his papers much more carefully for conclusions he's reached by contrarian intuition rather than careful reasoning. And it does to me call into question whether his motivation was to find truth or rather to offer a Marx-style criticism of everything to show how much better he is. I don't think the criticize-everything approach has proven productive in the long run.

> One of the main things that fuelled conspiracy theories the most were draconian measures against dissenting opinions which were perpetrated by social media platforms.

I wasn't on social media, so I can't say. It does suck to have your opinion dunked on. On the other hand, social media was full of inorganic influence campaigns. I don't have all the solutions, but I think it's reasonable to have some counterpressure to misinformation.

> Silencing wrong ideas by force damages trust in science much more than engaging with them, and gives these ideas much more credibility.

I'm not sure about this. The campaigns to damage trust in science were quite pervasive and organized. I'd think they wouldn't have spent all that money if the public policies did it just as well without spending on the influence campaigns.

The ideal would be if everyone were educated enough to consume the science directly. But for various reasons mass education is considered political so there's a political divide over who has the foundations to understand it.
We already support OpenAI and Anthropic endpoints, and can add models/endpoints quickly based on your requirements. We plan to expand to Llama and other self-hosted models soon. Do you have a specific model you want supported?
I wish I had had SDL2 as a kid.
It's interesting that you are able to do that. I'm surprised that, in the robot version, they implemented cheating with such an elaborate/expensive setup though. Is it news that a computer can react more quickly than we can see? The computer on Jeopardy could also buzz in sooner than people.

Mario Draghi - EU central bank president - created a huge report for the EU that was just published. He singled out overregulation as a key issue in european progress.

Specifically, the report called out GDPR costing small businesses 'more than' 15% of their profits.

This is indeed quite a hurdle. Privacy isn't really the issue - it's regulation that understands that complexity has a cost. We, as developers, should understand the deep, deep cost of complexity.

As a business owner that respects privacy a great deal, GDPR and regulation like it are still an immense hurdle - the cost in understanding and in doing things to the letter of the law is, I think, hard to grasp from the outside. Regulations occupy a huge amount of space in my head that was previously filled with making a better product.

I don't see why. AMD could buy a lot of free community work just by putting out a 32 GB version of their next gen flagship at around 1k. Not chasing the margin for a generation would buy them a decent amount of community support - they need it if they want to compete with Nvidia at any point.

Ahh I just saw OP was saying sub 100$ - yeah that's never going to happen.

Because Plugshare is closed source, locked down and a bizarre cesspool of uncurated garbage with zealously curated but misleading or straight up wrong information.

For example, in Australia, the largest supercharger networks are Tesla and Evie. For reasons I won't even pretend to understand, Plugshare refuses to allow either name in their labels, so if a town has both, they're called "Town (1)" and "Town (2)" at random. Not only does this make searching a pain, but people just select whichever pin happens to be on top and then submit their charging reports for the wrong charger. Gar! Typical example:

"Oliver's Gundagai (1)" https://www.plugshare.com/location/205861 (Chargefox)

"Oliver's Gundagai (2)" https://www.plugshare.com/location/76887 (Tesla)
Oh, yeah, I’m pretty sure they weren’t being malicious; why would you bother, for something like this? They were just overly trusting of the magic robot, because that is how the magic robot has been marketed. The term ‘AI’ itself is unhelpful here; if it was marketed as a plausible text generator people might be more cautious, but as it is they’re lead to believe its thinking.
That is factually misleading. Look at LWN's coverage since the recent controversy over a Rust developer quitting the project:

1. Rust-for-Linux developer Wedson Almeida Filho drops out - https://lwn.net/Articles/987635/

2. Airlie: On Rust, Linux, developers, maintainers - https://lwn.net/Articles/987849/

LWN never once mentioned any blogs or opinions from kernel developers or otherwise unless they were in support of Rust. There has also never been an article highlighting the very real challenges not only with Rust but also the attempt to integrate it into the Linux kernel project. Scroll the home page for recent articles and it's pretty evident where the bias exists.

Meanwhile, The Register[3] cited at least Drew DeVault among others:

3. https://www.theregister.com/2024/09/02/rust_for_linux_mainta...

Yes, The Register wrote a more balanced article on the topic than LWN.

> The case against Mr. Williams turned on the testimony of two unreliable witnesses who were incentivized by promises of leniency in their own pending criminal cases and reward money.

> Both of these individuals were known fabricators; neither revealed any information that was not either included in media accounts about the case or already known to the police. Their statements were inconsistent with their own prior statements, with each other’s accounts, and with the crime scene evidence, and none of the information they provided could be independently verified. Aside from their testimony, the only evidence connecting Mr. Williams to the crime was a witness who said Mr. Williams sold him a laptop taken from Ms. Gayle’s home, but the jury did not learn that Mr. Williams told the witness he had received the laptop from Laura Asaro.

To steel man the other side of it, WP Engine is intentionally creating confusion in order to obtain benefit. Which appears to be permitted, but does come of as a little skeevy with the added claim that WP Engine has provided no material support to the foundation.
Searching for the validation without being actual expert on the topic and doing the hard work of actually evaluating things and trying to sort them out to be understandable. Which very often is actually very hard to do.

About 20 years ago I read a post on LifeHacker about having folders a-z (and one for numbers) at the top level and using that to avoid a never ended list of top level folders.

I set that up and still have it. It’s not my day-to-day management, but it’s my filing system. If I need to find my childhood vaccination records, I go to H/Health/vaccinations.txt

It’s not perfect. I need to remember what I called something. Health vs Medical or having separate sub folders that might live somewhere else… but I just do what makes sense to my brain at the time, and usually that’s where I end up looking later.

I’ve tried looking up more prescriptive systems, and they never work for me, because it works how someone else’s brain works, not mine.

Do any of these offer training data as a service? Seems like they could charge a premium for a continuous multicast of a large dataset on say a 10g or higher connection. A one-to-many reply and charge the customer to sit under the firehose.

> Furthermore it is highly suspect that he was caught selling the laptop stolen from her house and the story about how he came into it is implausible.

Things like “the State destroyed or corrupted the evidence that could conclusively prove his innocence and the available DNA and other forensic crime-scene evidence does not match him” should at the very least make everyone pause and reconsider the course of action. I am not familiar with the case so I don’t have an opinion on whether he is guilty or not, but this is not a way of running a justice system.

In any case, yes, the death penalty is a barbaric anachronism in a liberal society.

Stop. Right. There. Time to read A City on Mars: https://www.acityonmars.com/

There simply isn't enough water on the moon to make hydrogen / oxygen for deep space travel.
this is great advice. let them focus on designing gameplay right now. once they've designed a core game loop and they're proud of it, maybe they'll want to learn how to implement it in software, or maybe they'll want to make some sort of physical product (game book, card deck, miniatures, etc.), or maybe they'll want to move on and design a whole new game.

tabletop simulator (on steam) is an easy platform for designing tabletop games. it has lots of built-in assets, you can import your assets, it has lots of built-in concepts that are common to games (zones/hands/inventories/meeples/etc). rules-enforcement is mostly done by the players (multiplayer is supported) just like when playing games in real life, so it's great for prototyping and playtesting without coding up formal logic.

So basically, Google is "adding" a blue checkmark to show more prominently that they're implementing dmarc if you pay them?

Not sure what that's supposed to mean for users. Should they believe that Google doesn't implement dmarc for other mails? That this problem wasn't solved decades ago?

I'm pretty sure Google had been dropping unsigned mails for a while now. This sounds more like a security theatre set up to milk a few pennies from commercial email senders.

Yeah I think a mission to see whether we can scoop up stuff that's been blasted up to the surface or even into orbit (and probably picking up some data on the ice crust along the way) is a lot more promising.

Just saying, there are people in these comments observing that "you can buy a 25km fiber cable online" lol... I love the exuberance but people may not be fully grokking the scope of the engineering problem here :) every mission comes at the expense of other possible missions, and drilling 25km down into Europa could easily be a feat that we would fail to accomplish even with 5 or 10 missions. There are challenges we will not surmount in our lifetimes, and this might be one of them. Deep drilling is dramatically harder than your average HN user probably realizes... exuberance alone cannot conquer physics.

Presumably they still think he’s (probably) guilty.

Victims and their family’s can and often do oppose capital punishment on moral grounds, same as anybody else.

They want him punished but believe that killing him is a moral wrong, or they’re more comfortable with the risk that he’s innocent if he’s in prison with the possibility of being exonerated rather than killed.
It may be natural fluctuations, but there has definitely been more forest fires and floods in the past 3-5 years than in the decades before them, and the high and lows have also been worse.

There have been numerous accounts of rivers retreating so much that land that hasn't been dry in almost 1000 years is again in fact dry.

Torrential rain have also become a lot more frequent where i live, where some locations gets weeks or months worth of rain in 30 minutes. Again, the amount of water may not be different, but the sheer volume and logistics of getting rid of it again may cause temporary flooding.

As for the current flooding in central europe, there were places that got a years worth of rainfall in days, which again causes rivers to transport a lot more water, and when the storm moves downstream it again pours more water down, into the already full river.
