Not sure about other cultures, but Americans lives in general I think would be a bit less stressful if there wasn't some weird aversion to just saying 'no' to things you don't want to do, rather than reaching for excuses. Is it seen as rude? I much prefer the directness of it on the receiving end, but maybe I'm weird.
Don't you love it that the US government released an announcement about unsafe programming languages and software vulnerabilities in general, that need to get more secured and better security / safety practices should take place...only to have the co-creator of the CMS the White House's website currently uses (SHOOOCKIIING!), to let it exposed to many attackers on various outdated plugins that cannot get upgraded by a direct competitor, because you decided to become modern day's Nero?!

It is insanely difficult to construct general-purpose housing which can withstand metres-deep water flowing at high rates. All the more so where flooding is combined with landslides, debris flows, washouts, sinkholes, and the like.

Prediction and advanced warning helps considerably, but is itself problematic where storms intensify rapidly and threaten a huge area. This has been the case for several recent European flood events, most notably in the Ahr valley in 2021:

<https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jul/13/floods-then-an...>

As I write, Hurricane Helene, a tropical depression just a day ago, is intensifying in the Gulf of Mexico and threatening landfall on a region which spans from Alabama to the Florida peninsula (though the panhandle / Big Bend region seems most likely). The storm is anticipated to further intensify to major hurricane status (category 3 or higher, winds from 178 -- 209 km/h, 111--130 mph, or higher) before making landfall tomorrow evening local time.

That's a huge area which faces possible evacuation. The more so as despite the localised nature of the hurricane eye, Helene's total diameter is huge, and tropical storm or better wind speeds are forecast from Louisiana to South Carolina, and encompas all Florida and Georgia, along with nearly all of Alaabama and South Carolina, as well as parts of Mississippi, Tennessee, and North Carolina.

The one saving grace is that the storm seems to be moving rapidly and won't linger over any one area for long, though I suspect that river systems in the southeast will see much flooding.

Vision Pro is an XR device not purely AR.

So there are many things very important to Apple e.g. running apps, creating content, watching movies etc. that AR glasses are completely useless for.

Never really understand why people keep comparing AR to XR. Very different use cases.
I am assuming that it is probably be good enough. Good enough is good enough because code editors are solutions in the context of engineering.

Both Llama 3.2 90B and Claude 3.5 Sonnet can find "turkey" and "spoon", probably because they're left-to-right. Llama gave approximate locations for each and Claude gave precise but slightly incorrect locations. Further prompting to look for diagonal and right-to-left words returned plausible but incorrect responses, slightly more plausible from Claude than Llama. (In this test I cropped the word search to just the letter grid, and asked the model to find any English words related to soup.)

Anyways, I think there just isn't a lot of non-right-to-left English in the training data. A word search is pretty different from the usual completion, chat, and QA tasks these models are oriented towards; you might be able to get somewhere with fine-tuning though.
The RayBan AR Glasses are about right for size/style. This is not something I would wear out in public. Cool technology, lacks style. Style for a wearable is necessary.
The UX for E2EE is full of trip mines that will easily lose your encryption key. You need to be designing a product around people who don't read and just want a slack/discord like format. The amount of times i've lost my decryption keys or my friends have lost my decryption keys because they don't religiously backup their keys is such a dramatic time sync..
The point of AR is all the new stuff you can do with it. For example, imagine running facial recognition on it to remind you the name of someone you met once a year ago. Or having your map route overlayed as a blue trail like a videogame.

Without new future apps, it’s just a toy but with them, it’s the next iphone.

I can't claim to speak for every company. I've only worked at 4 over the past 15 years, but I can only think of one where I'd raise eyebrows in standup if I reported not making progress on my ticket due to meetings, and that's because I'd have to explain how I managed to find that many meetings to attend (they were big on not hitting devs with too many meetings, and were actually good at it). For the rest it'd get an understanding grimace and an expression of hope that today's better.
You are severely misunderstanding the role of DNA evidence here - you suggest that those arguing for Williams' innocence (including The Innocence Project) rely solely on the absence of DNA evidence linking Williams to the crime. However, this misrepresents the argument. The absence of DNA evidence is significant not because DNA is expected to be found in every case, but because other substantial forensic evidence (fingerprints, footprints, hair) was found AND none matched Williams. This discrepancy raises reasonable doubts about his presence at the crime scene and involvement in the crime.

You point out that the victim’s property was found in Williams' car, suggesting this implicates him in the crime. However, this piece of evidence does not explain how the items ended up in his possession. Without a clear understanding of the circumstances surrounding how these items were transferred to his car, this evidence alone cannot definitively establish guilt, particularly when contrasted with the forensic evidence that fails to link him to the crime scene.

Furthermore you mention the testimony of Williams' girlfriend as part of the evidence putting his guilt "beyond a reasonable doubt." However, the reliability and motives of witnesses can also be questioned, and testimonies can be influenced by various factors. The weight of a testimony should be considered alongside all other evidence, particularly when forensic evidence does not support the testimony.

>"TO ME....is guilt beyond a reasonable doubt"

When it comes to fundamental principles of criminal law like "reasonable doubt" your subjective opinion is irrelevant, what matters is what objectively creates reasonable doubt. The fundamental principle in criminal law is that guilt must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt - the presence of conflicting evidence, particularly in forensic data, inherently introduces reasonable doubt. Dismissing or distorting this principle undermines the legal safeguards designed to prevent wrongful convictions.

This is a toxin. It's going to make our teenagers sad to the point of depression. It's going to stunt their physical development. It's going to replace the warmth of human connection with a shallow surrogate that will feel like we can't do without, but never quite gets us what we really want.

I wasn't involved in this one, but I WAS an advisor on a different Nest case, back in 2015 or so. Apparently Google lost this one in a jury trial in West Texas (Waco).

Here's the form the jury returned:

https://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/legaldocs/gkplgjkqyvb/...

Claim 5 reads:

the patent in question is https://patents.google.com/patent/US8738327B2/en?oq=us873832..., claim 5.

1. A system for controlling the operational status of an HVAC system comprising:
at least one thermostat associated with a structure that receives temperature measurements from inside the structure, the structure conditioned by at least one HVAC system, the thermostat having at least a first setting stored therein;
one or more servers located remotely from the structure, the one or more servers configured to receive measurements of outside temperatures from at least one source other than the HVAC system,

the one or more servers are further configured to communicate with the thermostat via a network, wherein the one or more servers receive inside temperatures from the thermostat and compares the inside temperatures of the structure and the outside temperatures over time to derive an estimation for the rate of change in inside temperature of the structure in response to outside temperature,

the one or more servers are further configured to receive a demand reduction request and determine whether the structure is associated with demand rejection request, and

based on the determination that the structure is associated with the demand reduction request, the one or more servers
are further configured to send a signal to the thermostat to change the setting to a second setting to reduce electricity demand by the HVAC system.

5. The system as in claim 1 in which the estimation is a prediction about the future rate of change in temperature inside the structure.

If you scroll down, the jury awarded EcoBee $20,019,300.

People, start migrating elsewhere; ClassicPress is there if you like, it needs much love and it's community based.
This is a security issue now! It's not clear why Mullenweb has gone off the deep end. But if we can't get updates, he's putting sites at risk. And I use "he" because it looks like there's something personal about the kind and method of the complaints. From here, it also looks like WordPress.com is practicing restraint of trade, violating the spirit if not the letter of open source, and is being arbitrary and capricious in choosing to target WP Engine with its strange laundry list of complaints when there are so many other companies with "WP" in their names or which set installation standards for plugins and themes to their hosting clients.

As I wrote elsewhere on HN, my web-focused company uses WP Engine and I administrate it and let me tell you, it's WordPress. Completely WordPress. So some defaults are changed? Every other provider I've used does something similar. Matt hasn't mentioned the other excellent default WP Engine choices, if he wants more to complain about. Random PHP calls disabled by default. Must-use security drop-in plug-ins. High-risk and processor-intensive plug-ins disallowed. Regular plug-in vulnerability reports. It's an administrative layer of choices I appreciate as a web admin because I am just one guy.

Whilst much of Europe is well past climate denialism, with the exception of the petro-fascist state of Russia, there's still an active English-speaking denialist community in the UK, less so in politics than in the largely right-wing / conservative press, with such people as Matt Ridley leading that brigade.

I spend a great deal of time reading and listening to news from across Europe, and the degree to which climate, degrowth, and energy transition are treated as mainstream topics is far ahead of the US, another petro-state.

(Notably, Norway doesn't seem to have followed the lead of other petro-states in climate denial that I'm aware, though its own oil-wealth legacy is distinctive on several grounds.)

No, not really. Water is very effective shielding, and you could melt a base station through the ice and do exploration with subs it sends out if you want fairly pristine samples. In the Jupiter system, it's also hardly the biggest radiation source around.
The query engine in SQLite can be weak. In particular where JOINs across multiple columns are concerned. You really do need to be aware of this when designing indexes into SQLite files.

Thanks Drew for documenting this. I see more and more people excusing their violent behavior on the grounds of calling themselves “neurodivergent“. The worst thing about that is that it works. Please watch out for these dynamics, and speak up. Verbal and psychological violence should not be accepted, regardless of mental conditions or gender or kink.

I hope Drew continues this and writes about the spreading problem of reactive and narcissistic abuse. A growing number of people seem to enjoy driving others by psychological manipulation to the point where they explode once in defense, to then get them removed on the grounds of the obvious Code of Conduct violation. This is an actively exploited 0day in most CoCs. There should always be the possibility for professional mediation, for both accuser and accused. And the one who refuses to participate in it should be asked to stay away until they are ready for the mediation. You should also not simply ban anyone for life for single violations, but provide a clear path back. The whole thing is being abused way too easily.

Interpersonal violence is a disease that needs to be eradicated. And that can only happen if you speak up and find allies when you see something happening. The victims themselves usually cannot.

> WP Engine wants to control your WordPress experience, they need to run their own user login system, update servers, plugin directory, theme directory, pattern directory, block directory, translations, photo directory, job board, meetups, conferences, bug tracker, forums, Slack, Ping-o-matic, and showcase. Their servers can no longer access our servers for free.

Sounds a lot like Android and Google: you can have the source, but good luck without our services!

I've tried JabRef, Zotero, and Mendeley. The latter two seem more modern and friendly in some ways but I prefer JabRef. Works well with LaTeX/BiBTeX and it looks more old-school, which I like. Mendeley's advantage is that it has free online storage.

You can't import terraform state right now. High on the road map (https://docs.systeminit.com/roadmap) is discovery of existing resources, starting with the import of individual things, and eventually building the component backwards from discovering the resources. We think that'll be better than importing terraform state, because it will essentially be a rolling reflection of the output, rather than trying to back into it from terraform.

But we're 100% open to importing it from the state file if that's what folks need.
Kind of a pointless comment to make if you haven't actually tried the Vision Pro.

Its interface is unlike anything else and really can only be experienced in person. The ability to simply glance at UI controls and slightly move your head whilst resting on your leg really does feel like magic.

And the UI is built around it so if you are looking for example at a sidebar it will lock you into choosing the options unless you substantially look away. This makes using it much easier and faster than a controller.
Again, I am not talking about the cloud market. The overall server market is ~5x larger than cloud.
