To be honest, the autonomous control of the robot seems like the easier part of the equation. (doing it safely in a room with guests, unguided... thats another matter). The physical limitations and packaging are a big challenge, and I dont think I saw Optimus lift anything remotely heavy.. just pull a beer tap.. a decision that probably speaks volumes about current limits of the technology.

To apply my first point to reality: put an Optimus in its current state/capability, on a commercial 0-turn lawn mower, plug Optimus into the mower's power takeoff, and have someone in another country remotely pilot the mower. That right there is worth every commercial lawn service having at least one on their crew TODAY.

The appeal of hot swapping an operator real time on the equipment you already own, whether it's a push lawn mower or a huge mining truck, provides enormous value right out of the gate. Especially in tasks where the Optimus can handle 90% of the task autonomously but needs to step aside or oversight for the last 10% of the job. Compare to a business model that requires purchase of all new very expensive and unique equipment.

I don't have any Apple products, so I couldn't give you any advice here.

My experience is that, while YouTube has a lot of content creators that I very much enjoy... I enjoy YouTube stewardship of the platform... less so.

I have an admittedly old Chromecast Ultra and Pixel Pro 8 phone which I usually use to control it. As they continue to upgrade the app and the service, they steadily make it worse and worse. Damn thing is almost unusable.

In the end, I think they may well be poorly product managing themselves into a position where they could be vulnerable to a more able, savvy, and competent competitor.

All this is to say you're probably just out of luck on being able to see these sorts of scams if you aren't already hip to them existing.

I get that but I stand by all of it though.

> data from the experts monitoring the reef did not line up with the climate change predictions of the reef.

That's normal.

> He didn't say HE knew the truth,

Well, that was a paraphrase of the unwarranted confidence in each of these statements, which I find extremely dubious:

> This fact is already a major problem for the claim that corals are hurt by global warming - if it were true, there should have been declines in this period

It's easy to imagine that warming would not have any effect up until reaching a certain tipping point, so this is overstated as evidence-against.

> This time series is incompatible with the idea of a link between CO2 and coral health.

Basically a restatement of the above. They're not incompatible.

> Whatever caused this set of changes is unlikely to be human driven

"Unlikely" is also an overstatement. These data can cast doubt but aren't strong enough to say that anthropogenic causes are unlikely, given how likely it frankly is due to the scale of changes in the ocean.

> But we can safely say that corals are already heat tolerant.

No, we can't say this. Some corals are heat-tolerant.

> they have existed throughout history in which natural climate change has created vastly greater differences than seen in the last 100 years.

This is... borderline misinformation. It ignores the rate of change, which is just not really a credible way to discuss climate change. Also, specifically, which changes has coral survived? I don't actually know how old coral is or which mass extinctions it has survived which is actually pretty important for making a comparison.

Etc. Not really worth going over every point, you get the idea.

The fake podcast is a bright red flag. I wouldn't touch anything related to something like that. Not only because it's a fake podcast, but the content is lies. This supposed buzz, 'everyone is commenting', the 'conversational' tone. You want to generate text and audio with AI? Disclose it and do it whatever, you're responsible for what you publish. But even if you had manually written and recorded this 'podcast', the content is evidently just marketing lies. That is unacceptable really. After that is establish it doesn't really matter if the factual claims about methodology are correct. I can't trust it after so many layers of misdirection.

It's about the price of placing an advertisement. Ads becoming that cheap has eradicated significant portions of the Web, which is now flocking to the few big content platforms. I'd call this an anticompetitive development. Ad networks, like Google, are setting these prices. And they have turned the tables: you can't negotiate the worth of the service, as you the product is the ad tag, not the content, it's embedded in.

(Also, we – as a society – don't entertain second thoughts on housing prices or general cost of living, while this is a common and basic need. Why is this different? Is there a privilege? Also, who's interest is this about, the content creators, including news sites, or advertisers, who rely on this kind of contextual content provided by the creators? Quite obviously, the current arrangement isn't working out for creators, and news, including active journalism and research, are in a steep decline, after having peaked in revenue around 2008.)

Even skimming through it discusses the coverage of wind and a not 50/50 system particularly to cover winter & night time. There is also discussion of a ~2% from "other" and how much storage capacity is required.

> I also care about using software from distro repos vs Flatpak etc wherever possible, because software in the distro repos is maintained by someone whose values align with me and not the upstream software author.

The problem one usually finds with distro repo packages, is they are usually out of date compared to the upstream – especially if you are running a stable distro release as opposed to the latest bleeding edge. You can get in a situation where you are forced to upload your whole distro to some unstable version which may introduces lots of other issues, just because you need a newer version of some specific package. Upstream binary distributions, Flatpak/etc, generally don't have that issue.

> the firefox package from distro repos enables me to load my own extensions without Mozilla's gatekeeping, the Audacity package from distro repos did not have telemetry enabled that Audacity devs added to their own builds, etc

This is mainly a problem with "commercial open source", where an open source package is simultaneously a commercial product. "Community open source" – where the package is developed in people's spare time as a hobby, or even by commercial developers where the package is just some piece of platform infrastructure not a product in itself, is much less likely to have this kind of problem.

Truing a wheel is something that for 100 years avid cyclists (riding multiple times per week) could do with nothing but a single $3 truing wrench. If you were very poor like me in college you did it by pushing the rim brakes to one side or another and then truing against the rim hitting the pad. We used to do this on the trail, ride mates amiably sitting by why the whacked wheel gets put into "enough" true.

Nowadays of course I have the whole kit, the Park truing stand, various truing wrenchs... and that's it. Oh right I use painter's tape to mark problematical spokes. I've built three sets of fabulous wheels that take a lot of abuse but let me still set personal records at (say) TdT.

Now we get to the flame wars. I've been endurance cycling 50 years, since I was 14 or so. I completely understand the arguments for disc brakes for tandems and touring setups. What the disc brake people are not telling you is that the hand fatigue problem was solved by $40 Avid Single Digit rim brakes 25 years ago. I have a set on my mt bike that are truly single digit sufficient for most rough descents up to say 3000' and maybe an hour. Probably you need to do some exercises if you're doing those and having fatigue. I have been at Moab doing an insane gonzo abusive descent and noticing that hmm might be having safety issues soon with my forearms, and hmm, I need to get this descent done... but that was before the Avid brakes. My 20 yo Specialized frame FrankenBike with Avid SD brakes is not being replaced in I guess forever because it is gonzo abusive ready and it just works.

Edit: Oh if anyone has a nice set of used Avid SD brakes I'd really like to replace the way too sensitive Paul sidepull brakes on my gravel bike. I put the dumbest pads possible on them and they're still too sensitive. I'd happily trade if I could fully refurb the functionality of the Avid brakeset.

That's what I'm skeptical of. Twitter sucks, but sometimes it's literally the only place the source of a story is, like if Elon makes a newesworthy post or something. I'm not saying you had an account or anything, but literally never clicking on a link, hundreds of which have been submitted as HN stories alone, beggars belief.
As a user, I don't want to assume that every single maintainer of every single app that uses (a statically linked) libfoo is keeping up to date with security issues in their dependencies and has the time and ability to promptly update their software.

But I feel pretty safe believing that the debian libfoo package maintainer is on top of things and will quickly release an update to libfoo.so that all apps running on my system will be able to take advantage of.
This is certainly true on Windows, where loaded DLLs share the base addresses across processes even with ASLR enabled, but is it the case on Linux, where ASLR forces randomization of .so base addresses per process, so relocations will make the data in their pages distinct? Or is it the case that on modern architectures with IP-relative addressing (like x64) that relocations are so uncommon that most library pages contain none?
Are there any examples of people doing this and getting away with it?

Why not byte the bullet and just go Linux now?
True! That is a completely valid argument. Why not ship your own kernel? Your own processors with your own ISA?

The answer to each of these questions is specific to the circumstances. You have to decide based on general principles (what do you value?), the specific facts, and ultimately judgment.

I think in some cases (e.g kernel or libc) using dynamic binding generally makes sense, but I happen to think forcing shared library use has many more costs than benefits.

You're absolutely right that everyone should ask these questions, though. I work at Oxide where we did ask these questions, and decided that to provide a high-quality cloud-like experience we need much tighter coupling between our components than is generally available to the public. So. for example, we don't use a BIOS or UEFI—we have our own firmware that is geared towards loading exactly the OS we ship.

> This is nonsense.

Monomorphization like in C++ or Rust doesn't work with dynamic binding. C macros and header-only libraries don't work with dynamic binding either.

Lots has been written about how way too much contemporary US business is about value extraction not value creation.

Put differently, a common business model in late 20th century and early 21st century US capitalism is to find a transaction that is already happening "at scale" and figure out how to insert your own company into the transaction and extract some percentage of the value.

The primary way of accomplishing this is to create a (new) story to tell about the value you claim you are adding to the transaction ("it's so easy", "we have an app for that", "so much quicker") even though in many cases nobody (or very few people) were asking for whatever you bring to it.

This does not mean that there is no value added. What these companies do not represent are new transactions: no new products, no new macro-scale services ("but you get a car with your phone now!" still boils down to "someone will drive you where you want to go").
> How do you find the documentation in the first place?

Typically I’ll go directly to the online documentation from one of my bookmarks. Sometimes I’ll have a local version. I did use to just type the thing I was looking for into the google search bar in Firefox, but once the results started being for ridiculous articles (or similar), rather than the actual documentation I started using bookmarks. Which was sort of why I was curious.

> the documentation can sometimes be a bit lacking on how to set things together

If you have the time I’d love to see an example of some random person on the internet giving you a better introduction into using a language library than the documentation itself. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that.

That being said, I think we simply work on very different things. I’m not sure what searching for an error in my code would help me achieve that reading the error output wouldn’t. I suspect this is because you may be stringing together a lot of frameworks and possibly higher level external libraries, that you’re perhaps not too familiar with? Which would also explain why the documentation you have to work with isn’t always very good.
The idea being the project is the same, the management is not.

The first two points ("Unix re-frames what computing is", "gives a modular view of problems") don't make sense to me if we're talking about students that are otherwise learning to program in some other environment.

If someone learns programming via, say, Python programming in an IDE, and they grok that, the only idea that needs to be taught is "Unix ships with a bunch of programs that you can think of like functions, and you can write programs with them in this environment that's available virtually everywhere but hasn't benefitted from decades of developer experience."
Voicze doesn't really read as 'voice easy'. I thought it was supposed to be some slavic sound before hearing the fake podcast thing. (Btw massive red flag the podcast, the fake claims of buzz etc).

When you select gendered languages as 'native language' the text says son, not child.

The Italian text is borderline nonsense. It technically translates to the correct English but it isn't even close to how an Italian person would say that.

The Portuguese version also gets derailed from one sentence to the other.

In both cases, first sentence makes sense, the second jumps to plural and you're left wondering who it's referring to. Again, technically makes sense, but it's not idiomatic and sorta confusing for native speakers.

After reading languages I dominate botched like that I would lose all trust in this app's ability to teach anyone a new language.
