This nails a lot about what I think Kinopio gets right. It makes things so simple that everyone can immediately start using and have a voice in group settings.
1) This is Google ads, not Meta
2) Google is definitely being sneaky here with targeting to the “unknown” category, but technically speaking they’re not targeting kids - just everyone who they don’t explicitly know is an adult. It’s an interesting legal question, it does seem to violate the spirit of the law somehow.
There are faults IDs that trip if certain telemetry goes outside of a normal range. If a safemode were to occur, we would investigate which faults tripped and at what time, and use those to construct a "story" of what happened on the satellite before it entered safemode. We're also constantly recording every telemetry that comes down, so we could reference any telemetry we wanted as far back as months in the past.

To your point, yes you're correct. The cause of the safemode is much more interesting than the fact we entered it.
You won’t need to. If it’s a thing it’ll be in 10,000 SEO spam headlines, on every other social media everything and repeated on TV newscasts and 1 out of every 2 podcasts.
Instruction pipelining is literally a form of instruction-level parallelism. To argue it's not parallelism is a weird take.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction_pipelining

Your argument basically amounts to forming an arbitrary definition of "unit" that consists of the whole thing so that then you can state that there is no parallelism. By that token, an 8-core processor has no parallelism because it can only execute a single package of 8 threads at any given time.
I can absolutely say that about Google and Apple.
It also highlights the stupidity of the death penalty: the jury is instructed "if you find this person guilty, we will kill them for it" - i.e. an action with no possibility of reversal or redress.

It's an odd stress test of the idea of "reasonable doubt" because of course in reality, there's always some doubt but the level of doubt for "let's irreversible kill a person" versus "let's detain them for life, but admit the possibility extraordinary evidence might emerge which changes our decision" is pretty vast.

In a world where the development of DNA testing technology changed a lot of outcomes including numerous capital punishment cases, it's essentially unthinkable that we could continue with it.
My understanding of that quote is that the shoeprint but not the fingerprints were bloody, and it's of course impossible for a shoeprint to positively exclude someone unless you know every shoe they've ever worn. The hair I haven't heard anything specific about.

And while it's not forensic evidence, I would note the glaring absence of any followup to that second sentence of the quote. What the article never gets around to mentioning is that some of the victim's missing items were found in his car, and the laptop was recovered from a guy he sold it to. (He claims that he got the victim's laptop from his girlfriend, and as far as I know didn't offer any explanation of where the items in his car came from.)
Correct, but his argument that WP Engine is confusing customers is strange when he runs the most confusing part about WordPress (.com vs .org). This tells me it is not really about reducing confusion, but him wanting to get paid because WP Engine is not contributing. Keep in mind Automattic was an early investor in WP Engine and they, along with countless other hosting and plugin businesses, have been using the WordPress name. Failing to go after any of them for over a decade can make it difficult to enforce the trademark. However, this may be the most valid legal avenue he has.

Something I also find interesting is the WordPress foundation trademark terms were changed a couple days ago. Using "WP" was okay, to now calling out "WP Engine" specifically as being confusing: https://www.diffchecker.com/tJ29tGIn/
I worked on UAVs in the late 00s and early 10s and it was all VxWorks as well. We were playing around with some embedded Linux but it wasn't used on anything "serious," despite some of our dreams.
This thing is huuuggee. For it to become something, it needs to be wearable at first. like Spectacles, it still feels like a prototype. For now, the G1 seems to have the correct form factor and features reduced to the essentials

Why is 'competition' your marker for ability to 'obtain reliable and correct information'? Wouldn't cooperation be necessary along with competition? Entities that only compete with other produce no standards and share no knowledge. The market (with limitations for externalities and to prevent fraud) is good at distribution of limited resources in the most efficient way possible. Why is it being shoehorned into being the solution to production of reliable an correct information?

Show HN: Oku – A Web browser with an emphasis on local-first data storage
Hello HN,

My name is Emil. I'm a recent unemployed graduate, and I've been spending a lot of my time working on a passion project from my teenage years.

When I was younger, I wanted a place on the Web that I could call my own—not a social media page, but a proper site.
I was interested in the IndieWeb community for a while, but I grew to believe a P2P alternative to the Web made more sense than having people host federated services.

My browser isn't production-ready, but I'm satisfied with the progress so far and would appreciate thoughts & feedback.

Thank you!
exactly - refactor the monolith. What we do is refactor the monolith into microservices that we like to call "micro-monoliths". What you get is the agility of a microservice with the simplicity and lack of sync issues of a monolith. Monoliths are problematic because they are too large and unweildy; microservices are problematic because now you have 200 microservices to track and if one service node goes down it can trigger a cascading failure - we're talking complex distributed systems here. The solution is the micromonolith, a hybrid approach striking a balance between the two, best of both worlds.
Pretty clever impl of a tool. I'll be using it, thanks.
I oppose the death penalty, but social policies should not be based on the outcome of cost/benefit analysis. If they were, executions would be used far more, on much less serious crimes, given rates of recidivism and revictimisation amongst certain crime types.
As a fellow glasses wearer, my first question was - will these ever be usable by people with poor vision? A quick google search indicates ~63% of US adults wear prescription lenses.

I wanted to say that I went to vote for your game but they seem to only support GitHub login and their GH app does crazypants shit like "Act on your behalf" versus the much more sane "user:email"[1] or whatever which would prove that I'm a person without granting some rando website "sure, bro, take GitHub actions for me"

They use your good nature against you.

We get free vacations by sitting through timeshare presentations. The trick is to get the timeframe in writing before you go. And to only tell them your name, and repeating the phrase, "we will not sign any contract or agreement."

Literally say nothing else.

We've been to Cancun, Hawaii, Minnesota, and Colorado for weeks for free doing this.
As a rule of thumb with AI stuff: it either works instantly, or wait a day or two.
There are a lot of issues with this article, but I think it is indicative that the author, a partner at a VC firm, thinks the business model is something AI companies like Anthropic and OpenAI will just “figure out” later.

I disagree. They’ve already figured out their business model: taking VC money, giving it to Nvidia, and coming back for more money.

The author mentions users have a revealed preference for ads. This is obviously not true otherwise Adblock wouldn’t exist. Users have a revealed preference for free things. Similarly, companies have a revealed preference for free money.

It’s notable that the successful companies the author mentions (Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google, Meta) all figured out their business models a long time ago.
What's not explained by the quoted excerpt?

Instead of writing, e.g. `const n = <number>someValueThatYouKnowIsANumber;`, you should write `const n = someValueThatYouKnowIsANumber as number;`

(well, really, you shouldn't write either, casts are bad. But, yknow.)
AR and VR are not remotely the same thing.

See-through AR and pass-through VR are not remotely the same thing.

AR is much harder.

They have quite an accomplishment with those glasses, even if image quality isn't great and they're still too heavy.

I still don't see a problem that these solve at any price, which has been the enduring problem with AR and makes me bearish on if a next generation of these glasses is anything more than an expensive toy.

VHS, the early internet, video compression, and other advances were driven by porn.

Now it seems like ads are driving everything. (Sure, including ads on porn, but I highly doubt porn dominates the ad market overall.)

It seems like the widespread adoption that drives and is driven by technological progress always comes down to catering to some base urge. I guess if you zoom out, everything is driven by base urges, just more or less directly?

So far, the puzzle pieces have always been found in the filthy heap of slop the feeds our primitive brains. We have not yet elected someone because they're the wisest, best fit for the position. It's always the person who can stroke our egos and soothe our fears, who lies with a smile that we choose to trust even when we know it's a lie. It's always a lie. We buy the product that makes us feel best to buy. Sometimes these happen to momentarily coincide with our best interests, but usually not, and never after the competition for our eyeballs and gonads has been minmaxed. Rational superiority is never the deciding factor—even when we convince ourselves that it is, it's that conviction that makes us feel good and determines our action.
I don’t mind the terrible ads. I wish they were all like that because I don’t like being advertised to. Make them all useless and easily dismissed please.

I don’t need any help spending my money and I don’t appreciate all the psychological influence tactics being weaponized against me in every moment of my existence to get some inane brand buried in my subconscious.
If we aren't going to abolish the death penalty, we should at least require a higher standard of proof than beyond a reasonable doubt to carry it out. It should require incontrovertible proof. Circumstantial evidence should not be allowed. Expert testimony should be barred. The evidence must be conclusive, plain, and certain to every member of the jury. This would allow you to execute, e.g., mass shooters who give themselves up, but make it extremely unlikely to irreversibly kill someone on the basis of junk science, induced or extorted testimony, or other fallible evidence.
IMO, they should have made it a simple mailed print/postcard subscription with an email newsletter with the jpg wallpaper. You could even provide access to a private wallpaper app that changes it for you monthly if people want that.

LTT has the right mentality that supporting an influencer should give you something physical for your support or when asking a superchat on a livestream that may or may not get answered.
In my case I recently moved all my company org access to a separate GitHub account. It definitely solves this issue at least.
100 grams is still quite a lot of weight to have on the bridge of your nose. My glasses are ~22 grams and I can notice them after a full day.
Choosing labor as the value is worse than arbitrary, because labor is far less fungible than (say) commodities. The value of labor depends on whose labor it is for the job. Half an hour's labor by one person can turn apples, flour, butter, and sugar into a delicious pie; half an hour's labor by a different person will create a soggy mess. In one case, labor adds value; in another case, it destroys value (can't use that flour for anything else now.)
Isn’t C technically already high-level, since it deals with high-level concepts like variables, arrays, functions, etc., rather than dealing with low-level concepts like memory addresses, call stacks, registers, etc.?
This will probably be an unpopular opinion, but Meta is in the right direction and has to go on an Amazon type arc to align their employees with their vision. I watched this podcast that released around the same time and Zuckerberg's argument/vision for the future of Meta seems solid[0].

Generally, a large magnitude of value is created during "platform shifts" and they have now placed (really good) bets on VR/AR and AI (LLMs).

You can also just press `c`, then `F`, in magit.
Agreed. Learn how to use EXPLAIN and interpret using whatever tools you prefer. Also monitor your queries. Something I did in a previous start up was install PgHero, and man did that tool help me optimise and prioritise performance.
It looks like a multi-purpose utility in the terminal for bridging together the terminal, your scripts or programs to both local and remote LLM providers.

And it looks very handy! I'll use this myself because I do want to invoke OpenAI and other cloud providers just like I do in ollama and piping things around and this accomplishes that, and more.

https://llm.datasette.io/en/stable/

I guess you can also accomplish similar results if you're just looking for `/chat/completions` and such if you configured something like LiteLLM and connecting that to ollama and any other service.
I was thinking D but also there is basically a superset of D and HighC that incorporates best of both worlds, some people here may know it, it's called "Holy C" and it was the basis for a new operating system in the same way C was tightly integrated with UNIX. Written by Saint Terry

To me, it seems like they're choreographing an exit/acquisition or going public.
No, but they have ability to influence procedural outcomes. This is the whole purpose of the so-called “Innocence Project”. They very much attempt to free convicted murderers, and often enough they succeed at this task.
OpenAI valuations this year have ranged $80-150bn. Since it’s funny money anyway, let’s call it $100bn for easier math.

That’s a $7bn stake.

> the government has not shown enough evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that the death penalty is warranted

The jury only provided the unanimous guilty verdict. After that point, the defendant has been declared guilty beyond all reasonable doubt by the state, and it's up to the judge to determine the appropriate punishment for someone guilty of the crime of 1st degree murder, robbery, etc.

It's possible that some on the jury did not want the death penalty, but were not ready to acquit.

> I'm against it because I don't think it's a power the state should be able to wield.

To your point, the Innocence Project claims 251 exonerations, with ~9% (22) exonerations coming after the death penalty had already occured. The IP reported receiving 65,600 letters for assistance, so around ~0.4% of all requests for help were later proven to be wrongful convictions. There are currently around 2,200 prisoners on Death Row (https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/death-row/overview/death-row-us...). Assuming the ~0.4% wrongful conviction rate is representative for this population, that would be around 8-9 people. Some States have paused executions, and the US executes about ~20 people per year. So that would be a wrongful execution every ~12.5 years on average, again if these percentages are representative of death row convictions.
>VHS, the early internet, video compression, and other advances were driven by porn.

For posterity, this is completely true; people not liking it does not make it untrue.
This looks great. I have a use case for something similar: detecting calls to the file system. Lots of code I've inherited has a habit of loading configuration from some random network share, then failing when that config got moved or the production host doesn't have the same access.

I usually use strace(1) to track these down, but it's nowhere near as ergonomic as this tool. I'm wondering now if I could patch the `open` built-in instead.
CotEditor just got an update adding a file/protect sidebar. I've not used it much so far, but it sure is nice to now be able to open folders in it.
So, since they're now a part of JS - aside from namespaces and enums (which are discouraged) - none of those features generate code anymore.

Moreover, aside from namespaces and enums (which are discouraged), none of those features were incorporated into TypeScript until they were on track for inclusion into JS. They weren't taken from TypeScript and imported into JS; TypeScript took them from the ECMAScript people.

Being able to compile TypeScript by just stripping types has become a design principle of the language. For better or for worse, the TypeScript team steadfastly refuses to try to innovate on runtime language features at this point.
Vice Debuts a Subscription Product and Relaunches Its Print Magazine
How about its performance compare to Qwen-2-72B tho?
I think much as with Windows, x86 is backstopped by gaming. It's going to be hard to kill because of that.

Gaming is hardware-intensive, highly locked into closed source ecosystems, and users are not going to be amenable to alternatives.

You can't say "we recompiled the top 10 games for ARM" and have it be enough. You need to be able to offer something that can deliver high end native-level performance on pretty much 99% of the Steam catalog. That means either herding a lot of cats to get code recompiled for ARM, or developing breakthrough emulator performance.

Apple pulled off the transition because they were targeting a different audience. With productivity software, you could port a few key programs, with cooperative developers, and cover a lot of the big markets. They also dodged the raw performance question because they could target messages like "fanless", "lighter", and "longer-running" for M1, competing with existing mid-performance laptops, rather than a direct challenge to a fire-breathing gaming desktop.
OpenAI is restructuring to be a for profit. Looks like that's coming with a bunch of turnover.

I'm not sure why the HN algorithm never let it hit the front page, but there's discussion here:

Exec level Framework is DORA: https://www.pentalog.com/blog/strategy/dora-metrics-maturity...

For your level: Your team and org size is large enough that you should be able to commit someone half or full-time to focusing on Opex improvements as their sole or primary responsibility. Ask your team, there's likely someone who would actually enjoy focusing on that. If not, advocate for a head count for it.

Edit: Also ensure you have created playbooks for on-call engineers to follow along with a documentation culture that documents the resolutions to most common issues so as those issues arise again they can be easily dealt with by following the playbook.

Note: This is unpopular advice here because most people here don't want to spend their lives bug-fixing, but in reality it's a method that works when you have the right person who wants to do it.

It does when the grid is running on batteries for extended periods of time. I guess it just comes down to what is cheaper between x% more batteries and y% larger conductors.
> I don't remember any of them talking about stuff other than Rust or Kotlin.

Don’t forget the old, boring one: Java.

I assume the reason that Go doesn’t show up so much is that most Android processes have their managed, GC’d Java-ish-virtual-machine world and their native C/C++ world. Kotlin fits in with the former and Rust fits in with the latter. Go is somewhat of its own thing.
you don't want to shove them all into an opaque commit that says fixes, because you believe in atomic commits.

Sure I do. The whole branch will be squashed anyway before it's merged in, and a single "fixes" commit while still on its own branch will be easier to track in a PR for addressing everything pointed out earlier.

I mean, don't let me stop anyone from using this or --fixup if this is your flow, but this solves a problem neither I nor anyone in my last 10 years of working with code has.
