> Congress used to update laws regularly, but those times are over. It can't legislate effectively anymore.

This is defeatist, and misses the point. Congress should continue to update laws regularly and the SC decision provides an impetus for them to start doing so. Congress mandating the regulation also has the effect of Congress determining the scope of legislation. With Chevron, there's no reason for them to update laws because they just let, e.g., the EPA make up the scope of the laws themselves. (Why people will claim "overreach".)

The scenario this enabled is a new presidential administration would be elected who would fire the old regulatory leadership and hire their own, effectively allowing the executive branch to re-write the law every 4-8 years. There was a lot of opinion thrown around about how the SC decision is a power grab for the judicial branch and I just don't see it. They took power away from the executive and gave it back to the legislative, where it had been before Congress became useless.

Whether or not one agrees with this approach is worth considering, but man, talk about comments that demonstrate the author has "no idea what Chevron was about".
I think apple contributed lots of things that make wgpu a nicer api for people. I’m not saying this particular contribution was good, just that it’s not so black and white.
I'm not stopping you from trying to put your theories to the test and I'm not saying the current reality is good. However, I think you'd be surprised how complex some of these systems are. An automotive system like the article is describing is a distributed realtime system of anywhere from dozens to hundreds of networked processors built without traditional operating system support. It's frankly a miracle they work at all.

Sadly there’s a bias against customer service as a functional group in most tech (and non-tech) companies. It’s a function that is normally offshored and/or outsourced, and it is extremely rare for leadership to be hired out of service orgs. This is a shame when you think of how natural a transition from service to an account manager role would be. Management doesn’t see service source of revenue.

This is different in other industries, like in the auto industry where service is a considerable source of revenue and where CEOs like Sloan started. Software service groups really don’t have organizational prestige or influence, in contrast.

This means service groups get the last pickings in budget and talent. Most software companies are trying to do the bare minimum with service, and anything of import (or revenue potential) gets escalated to the account manager or product manager.

Its not a free for all, but there are some legacy pipes with lead in them. The EPA currently limits the amount of lead measured in drinking water lines. This is where the root of the problem happened in Flint. They had lead pipes that had calcified and were not delivering contaminated water. They changed water sources which changed the chemistry of the water causing the lead to corrode into the water.
So if not the garden shed, then: Where do I store my collection of nitrate films?
That might have been the “hopeful” argument for Citizens United but the the reality has been the opposite. There is so much more money going into politics by large companies and the wealthy than ever before. It’s a poison on democracy and one of the absolute worst SC decisions ever.

Well languages and conventions change. The € sign was added not that long ago and it was somewhat painful. The Chinese language uses a single character to refer to chemical elements so when IUPAC names new elements they will invent new characters. Etc.

> the marginal cost for me to have a user in your system is essentially 0

This argument essentially reduces to the notion that most Web apps should be free. The marginal cost of a Salesforce/Canva/Outlook/Office/Github/Discord/any scaled SaaS user is a tiny epsilon. If that were not true, there would not be a viable software business there; that epsilon keeps everyone paid who keeps everything running.

> You really gonna charge me 10 cents a month for a row in your database?

Apologies for the analogy, but the 10 cents is not for the storage, but for knowing which row is yours.

It's fine to want to DIY, no shade to that at all. But not every application is a fit for DIY solutions for whatever reason.
Interesting, yeah could be. Disabling Play Store auto-updates for the app if enabled might help.

Actually I'm not sure how you installed Amazon Shopping from the Amazon store anyways? I installed it a while back assuming they would have versions of Shopping and Kindle that would let me buy books, but they didn't seem to distribute those apps at all which I thought was strange. Still not seeing them there now.
Ah yes, applying household analogues to national government issues.

How about this: imagine you're a multi-billion dollar per annum organization openly researching how to put tens of thousands of your core workforce out of a career, and they ask for more money to protect their families and livelihood. And the government forces you to negotiate.

Don’t get me wrong, I was just making an observation about a ‘role’ being specified. Not suggesting the role=“application” should be used here.

Ultimately in my case I’m leaning to either replacing the production year, parental guidance and IMDb rating with a dl or prepending sr-only titles to the individual tags.

I tested the page with VO on Safari and got the same results as on Chrome. So the good thing is that in practice the current setup appears to be accessible, but it’s frustrating that the theory seems to be different and just not clearly defined.
It’s not really a paradox when you consider the UX from the website owner’s perspective. Wordpress makes things stupid simple to do, even if it has way more overhead.

It’s only a paradox if you think the trade off is spending time configuring things. No, the alternative for most people would be to pay someone to set up their website.

If someone set up a WYSIWYG editor for Hugo that goes from domain registration to published site in a few clicks they’d make a fortune.
I don't think that's true - Figma runs in the browser, so does HN.

The job of the browser is to _render_. That's agnostic on whether you're creating content or just reading it.
I would talk to your primary care person, they should know.

I've had two members of my family die of ALS and was wondering what my odds are of getting it. One of the steps could be a full DNA sequence. In order to get to that step however, you have to do about six months of counseling, and several blood tests before they do the full DNA sequence. The counseling is to prepare yourself for the possibility of them essentially giving you a death sentence with the blood and DNA results.

I never got that far. My father convinced me its better not to know and live your life accordingly, rather than trying to live a life always looking over your shoulder.

But my primary did have the information on how I could get it done, so I would start there.
I would argue OP's point is still valid since any kind of change is bad when you're smuggling drugs. If they automate everything, then all of the old systems no longer work, and any new system would require people working at much higher levels.

The argument here is that the union is directly involved in drug smuggling, which is why some of the union reps live in multimillion dollar luxury homes. They're opposed to automation because it would mess up their system

I've tried that in a small transformer that I trained from scratch and it didn't really make any difference. I also made a version where I made this trainable somehow, probably by replacing the 1 with a constant associated with the layer, and that didn't make any difference either.

I didn't follow Miller's proposal quite as he wrote it though and I put the mechanism in all the layers rather than avoiding it at the end.

My test doesn't absolutely rule out usefulness-- there's always different ways of applying something, but I saw no indication of it.
I have some sense that it would work better than most CEOs. It would require someone reasonably smart to build the system and keep it fed with the right data etc, but the amount of decision making and additional context as to why decisions are made etc would be valuable, especially where CEOs are a bottle neck (which is... a lot of places)
> I strongly prefer that, honestly

Same, but I have only used 2.5 PTO days as sick time in probably the last 20ish years. Two of those were due to Covid in January.

So for me, it just means more vacation time. If it was categorized separately I’d lose (historically speaking).
Yes. They were installed many decades ago and haven't been replaced because a) it would be extremely expensive to do so and b) there are additives which AIUI prevent or at least significantly reduce leaching.

I'd be shocked if the EPA's cost estimates turns out to even be within an order of magnitude off the actual cost. Maybe they're just measuring the cost to utilities for the parts not on private property.

It isn't that common to need fractions though. Money is typically handled in integer amounts (we just divide the amounts by 100 or whatever to make it easier for humans to grok). Nobody's going to pay half a cent for a latte for example. If for some reason you do need to deal with 1/1000 of a dollar, or 1/10000 of a dollar, you can still use integers. You just need to know the scaling factor.

Your presentation layer is probably always going to need to do some manipulation of the number anyway (put a dollar sign on it, etc) so using a decimal amount just for presentation needs isn't a huge win. But it will work too.
Thanks for finding/providing that link. p.10

"Highly sought-after fundamental particles, such as the Higgs boson, only exist for a fraction of a second after being created in high-energy collisions (e.g. ~10-22 s for the Higgs boson). Their presence needs to be inferred from tracking information and energy deposits in large electronic detectors. Often the anticipated detector signature is very rare and could be mimicked by more common background processes. To identify particle decays and increase the efficiency of analyses, ANNs were trained to pick out specific patterns in the large volumes of detector data being generated at a high rate." (emphasis mine)

It concerns me reading stuff like this (one can find similar for the original LIGO detection of gravitational waves) without accompanying qualification. B/c I want to hear them justify why it shouldn't sound like 'we created something that was trained to beg the question ad nauseam'. Obvs on a social trust basis I have every reason to believe these seminal discoveries are precisely as reported. But I'd just like to see what the stats look like - even if I'm probably incapable of really understanding them - that are able to guarantee the validity of an observation when the observation is by definition new, and therefore has never been detected before, and therefore cannot have produced an a priori test set (outside of simulation) baseline to compare against.
What part do you dislike? If it's the complexity of newer APIs (Vulkan in 8 years old at this point, DirectX12 9 years), then you might like WebGPU or any of the other userspace graphics APIs such as blade or sdl3 that have been invented over the past few years.
This is an odd ranking for "worst types of data collected."

Personally, I'd be FAR FAR FAR more upset about my driving data being sent to insurance companies that I am about my voice recognition data being used to improve the voice recognition. But they seem to rank voice recognition training data and I suppose autopilot training data as the worst offenders.
Or just choose one of the vendors that don't collect data? They did list three.

Brazil Supreme Court lifts ban on X
it depends, if it was a currency exchange, it'll be labeled in one of 3 ways, either average rate per unit, absolute, or it'll be a reference to a MSSQL table containing exceptional spot transactions. Otherwise, a complete history of exchange rates is stored in KDB, most days you can take the average, and for small amounts on weekends or days the exchange is closed you can just interpolate, there's also a half dozen XLSXs full of certain exceptional days, so you'll have to check that you're not on one of those lists. Then if you're not dealing with USD->X or CAD->USD->X things start to get hairy.
> if you want complete, unfettered access to my entire Drive account,

Panic never got complete or unfettered (or any) access to my Google Drive. I got access. I used their application, which can easily be supervised with Little Snitch or other software to prove that is not sending a copy of my credentials or my files to Panic. If it were OSS it would be even more categorically provable that it's not giving access to anyone but the end user, but these draconian requirements would still apply.

The point is, Google is telling THEIR users, not Panic, that they aren't qualified to use their own judgment to select a client. It woudl be just as bad as Microsoft saying that if you want to check your email or access SharePoint you can't use anything but Edge (insert jokes about how they basically did do that 20 years ago with MSIE, but let's be serious, that sort of thing would be rightfully mocked today).

> I don't think it's a bad thing that Google is enforcing some minimal security standards.

These certification programs are 100% a moneymaking program to engage in a lot of box-checking, which I'd wager has zero correlation with a positive outcome for anyone other than the shareholders of the "labs" that do these audits.

I think it's reasonable to argue that data acquired via a sensorimotor loop in an embodied agent will go beyond what you can learn passively from a trove of internet data, but this argument goes beyond that - the "data" in evolution is "learned" (in a fashion) not just from a single agent, but from millions of agents, even those that didn't survive to replicate (the "selection", of course, being a key part of evolution).

A neat thing about the kind of artificial robots we build now is that the process can be massively sped up compared to the plodding trial and error of natural evolution.
There is an implicit assumption that the founder will make good decisions. If someone is "mucking about" in everyone's work, presumably it's phrased that way because they are making a bunch of stupid decisions? Not much (there are counter examples) will fix a ceo making dumb decision after dumb decision.
The big scary fine is a absolutely an incentive, unless you are huge company with an army of lawyers on standby. Some customers I've worked with submit GDPR requests on behalf of their users to all of their software vendors; there're even SaaS products for doing exactly that.

WordPress.org seems to be used to refer to Matt Mullenweg [1], as he apparently personally owns it, though one of Automattic's lawyers said last week that it is a non-profit that is separate from the WordPress Foundation [2].

Isn't this what companies like Netlify, Squarespace and Github Pages does? I know with Netlify, you can transfer a parked domain, pick a template and it does a majority of the config for you and you're up and running in a few mins and then it takes about 24 hours for the domain to go through.

I get what you're saying though, even with those companies who are close to what you're talking about, taking care of those minor middlemen steps would be a boon to someone who could figure it out.
Perhaps Disqus? I believe it's opaque to the site owner - users auth to Disqus, you don't need a db.
A robot vacuum will literally change your life.

It seems silly, because as the parent said, it doesn't take long to vacuum normally, but it's one chore struck off the list and becomes something you rarely have to think about anymore.

Coming home to a freshly vacuumed house is a great feeling. With a robot vac, you get to have that feeling every single day.

Robot vacuums aren't as effective at vacuuming as a human would be, but it also doesn't matter. Whatever it missed today, it'll get tomorrow.

Yes, you need to adjust somewhat your living style. If you leave a lot of clothing on the floor, or have cables just laying about, the robot vac will find them and get stuck. You should clean those up anyway - but within the robot vac-owning community it's often a joke that you have to "roomba-proof" your house.

The upsides outweigh the downsides by far.
Thanks! "Brilliant" might be giving us too much credit. We're mostly just paying attention to how devs are using video and trying to solve problems in that space. Next-video.dev is another example I'm proud of.

Some of what you're seeing on the open source player front is that we already kind of have to support those projects anyway. We're player agnostic, so our customers use a lot of open source, including projects that aren't actively being maintained.

I think we're benefitting right now from being one of a very few dev-focused video companies that's also actively contributing to open source.

I'm portuguese and there's an oddity in either this chart or my memory.

When we transitioned to the euro it seemed most shops straight up converted from escudo to eurocent. So if something cost 50 escudos it would cost 50 cents. I was a teen at the time so I remember having to pay double for breakfast and arcade coinop games and people blaming the inflation for the doubled price of stuff. Yet the chart doesn't represent this. I know the price of electronics for example wasn't doubled so I wasn't expect a 100% inflation rate or anything, but I still feels it should've been higher than 4%.
If you want specific numbers, you'll need to get a lab involved which will be more expensive. But to just detect the presence of contaminants, a cheap tester like available at hardware stores should work.

The fix for this is GitHub Actions and GitHub Pages. That way you don't have to run any software yourself at all - the build process runs entirely on GitHub for you, and it's free as well.

I'm surprised I haven't come across more examples of people using GitHub Actions with static site generators like this. Ideally someone would share a GitHub repository template that comes pre-configured with a good static site generator which people could then use as a one-click starting point for their own sites.

I've considered building one of those myself but I tend not to use static site generators (I like Baked Data instead: https://simonwillison.net/2021/Jul/28/baked-data/) so I'm not a great person to take on that project.
