Real estate is fundamentally depreciating: you build a building, it exhibits wear and tear, it's worth nothing in the long run. Assets are usually valued off of future cashflows, which would be the long-run rent it can fetch. For most investments, you just shove this into a calculator with the current risk free rate and it spits out a number that's the current price. The rent declines in the case of a building with the wear until it's condemned, at which point it goes to zero. I'm saying this because just because something is fundamentally depreciating doesn't mean it won't have real yields, my point is looking at the yields from a capital appreciation perspective is kinda distracting where fundamental yields come from. Usually, capital appreciation is far more muddled (did capital become cheaper, leading to bidding up of yields? did people secularly just want to pay more for renting a house? etc)

Of course in the US there's been huge capital appreciation: housing and shelter went from 10% of CPI in the 60s to 40% of CPI today! Are you going to keep drawing the line and say "yeah, it's totally reasonable for us to continue it to have capital appreciation out-of-line of actual yields when supply and demand are balanced" - like how far is enough for you? 50% of CPI? 60? You're never going to be able to get the real appreciation that we've had over the last 40 years because that'd take us to 160% of CPI!!!
I got that manual from the US support page. What region are you in and have you tried installing the US firmware? Search for"Verse Pro" on the US support page[1] after the device list populates.

I also would have been disappointed with my Era if it didn't have PocketBook Cloud syncronization as advertised since it is functionality I care about. That being said, if it is something locked out of your region you could always install Koreader and setup sync through that.

They do not have that right.
It's a very common misconfiguration, though, because it happens by default when setting up CF. If your customers are, by default, configuring things incorrectly, then it's reasonable to ask if the service should surface the issue more proactively in an attempt to help customers get it right.

As another commenter noted, not even CF's own RSS feed seems to get the content type right. This issue could clearly use some work.
Maybe the past was underweight. Life expectancy is up compared to the past along with bmi.

Also in Asia, average bmi is 23, and average bra size is B. In the usa, average bmi is 29, average bra size is DD. Probably same thing applies for men in relation to bench press and deadlift numbers.
Someone did that where I went to high school as well. I'm pretty sure it was a cost cutting measure, but the entire school was basically built without hallways. In one of the most humid and rainiest locales in the continental United States. Changing classes? Enjoy the rain! Someone stands there with the door open? Enjoy the 80% humidity condensing on everything in the room! Need to go the restroom at 2 PM? High temperature is only 100 F, but with the heat island effect the air temperature is a completely normal 120 F
I don’t follow a ton of political news; I know Democrats hate Clarence Thomas, does anyone know what the vibe with Republicans on him is?

From the outside, it feels like he’s becoming a liability for bringing all this heat on to the Supreme Court for issues that aren’t part of the Republican platform. Maybe he’s some sort of rallying post? It feels like they’d probably want to ask him to step down next time they control the nominations (or now, if they currently do).

The challenge is in making a physical object rotate fast enough to produce the effect. The article says "the fastest rotation achievable by standard motors is of the order of 10 kHz", which is apparently too slow. The frequency of visible light, for comparison, is about 400–700 terahertz (THz).
Unfortunately since it’s an active feature it requires power, meaning any wired headset will require a battery or other power source.

A wired headset plus my mixer gives me an opportunity to tinker and upgrade my setup as I wish, and is all USB powered to boot.

I have some rough plans to make a simple audio interface with built in sidetone for use as a portable setup, but haven’t had the time to turn it into a real product. Someday!

I’ve recently started using NotebookLM and I wish either it was from any other company besides Google or that Google would charge for it.

Google has the attention span and product focus of a crack addled flea. I’m afraid the entire project will be killed.

NotebookLM is a great product. I just started using it this week to ingest artifacts for a new project and get an overview.
Yup, you're right with Lambda@edge, I forgot about that one.
> Qualcomm showed Linux working in October 2023 yet here in October 2024 Linux does not work. I don't get it.

Curse of Android, Qualcomm lived for so long with permanently forked kernel, that there is no pressure on code quality, only thing they know is how to sling minimally viable platform code at their unfortunate customers. No one cares about maintainability of it, because even before code has a chance to stabilise, there is already new model to be released, new hardware to be supported. At this point no one cares about old hardware.
From Sketches to Savings: The Art of Streamlining Your Finances with Sankey
In the world of data visualization, there are certain tools that stand out as both innovative and user-friendly. One such tool is the Sankey chart, named after its creator, Kazuhiko Araki at Mitsubishi Research Laboratories in 1968. These bar charts have been revolutionizing the way we view complex financial information by visually representing flows and budgets in an easy-to-understand manner. Sankey Mac, a software suite that specializes in creating these visual aids, has taken the concept to a new level by streamlining the process of creating impactful financial representations.
> Do what you do online. Firefox Browser isn’t watching.

How long can Mozilla make claims like this now that they've pivoted to being an ad-tech company and will not only be watching what people do online, but also recording that data in order to hand that information over to third parties who will then report that information to advertisers?

Tracking is enabled by default for everyone, but for now at least, you can disable this tracking in the settings. Firefox users will need to be sure to recheck that setting often to make sure updates don't revert their preferences.
I disagree. I think that I’m measuring progress partially in terms of change, and that in order to feel like Musk was heading a revolution, I’d need to see the possibility for great change as a consequence of his actions. That change could be social/political, but I’m not seeing any. Right now the world I imagine coming about with Musk looks mostly identical to the world I imagine would have happened without Musk.

Tangentially related, I've been extremely impressed following 3DSage's work. I've only dipped my toe into GBA programming ("hello world"-level stuff), and the fact that they built a real-time 3D level editor is mind-blowing to me.

I doubt that simply because they gave everyone they didn't fire who did it an official talking to. It's atypical for a BigCo to do that if they're simply manufacturing a pretext.
> more concerned about real human suffering.

Then your priorities are misdirected. The US Govt grabbing a few extra percent of billionaires' income would not reduce human suffering in any way.

If anything, the ultra-rich have been far more effective than governments at improving impoverished human lives by setting up charities and using them to directly send money to poor regions around the world, enabling clean water and food and basic health services.

I mean, Brass Birmingham and many other high ranking games would be rather poor choices for pick-up and play game nights with most groups (number 7 is Twilight Imperium, which takes 6 hours on the short end!). Indeed, a lot of them can be played as deeply as Chess or Go.

There's been study over what "biases" the site has, which I personally think is rather uninteresting (what's the use of a global ranking without bias, after all?), but there's a lot more to it than what's easy to learn.

Came here to say this. I see these come up on HN every year or so. They're often beautiful and commendable for that reason, but I never understand what anyone would actually use them for. Typically I see them start out strong, marking that features are still in Beta, but then it just kind of ends there.

In the abstract, I can feel out there being some kind of use case I'm not thinking of. Maybe something along the lines of having a familiar mental model for organizing the data in the browser, (not the data in the web apps running in the browser). Things like bookmarks, tab groups maybe, browsing history.

But what is shown is more of an honest attempt to create a full OS in the browser which will always be inherently inferior to the operating system the browser is running in, even with advances to browser engines.
I went to a middle school in the 1990s that clearly came out of the same 1970s wave of “rethinking school design.” Ours had the benefit of the what-were-we-thinking retrofit walls being proper drywall, but, perhaps in trying to dodge the climate control problems you mention, most classrooms still didn’t have doors.

I wouldn’t learn what the Lindy effect was until decades later, but looking back, it was an instructive early lesson.
Honestly it reminds me a bit of the macguffin used to amplify a signal to insterstellar distances used in The Three Body Problem book. Which given the rest of the novels makes me a little scared
I suspect that the real problem with prioritizing by pay is that it shows that a lot of employers are using H1-B workers to put downward pressure on wages.

Also there are a lot of parties involved in gaming the complex system whose services wouldn't be needed if the solution was that simple. I think Upton Sinclair's quote applies here. https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/21810-it-is-difficult-to-ge...
99.9? There are roughly 3mm podcasts out there right now - I listen, regularly, to about 10 over a year (in any given week maybe 3-4). I'm therefore ignoring 2,999,990 or 99.9997% of podcast. I definitely agree with you that this isn't a problem.

(Also - ironically, one of the podcast out of those 10 that I listen to regularly - it's the Deep Dive on AI. A NotebookLM production! )

>That's not easy. Many employers aren't aware of this type of visa.

I think a lot of the response are presupposing that the commenters are in the tech industry. If a company is already setup to deal with visas it's probably not a big deal, assuming the economy is still going well and companies are hiring. In another field where companies don't or barely deal with visas at all, it's probably really difficult.
>It just smells like someone at Qualcomm did not see the value and cut the budget to the bone

That's been the theme of the last two years. Qualcomm laid off 1200 last year and a few hundred last month (and I'm sure there's been more if I look deeper), so it's not doing anything special compared to the rest of the industry.

I'm curious about the involvement of tech companies here. Obviously approximating posterior distributions of explicit statistical models via simulation techniques is common in academic scientific literature but I'd like to hear about examples of it being done in "production" settings, i.e. not just as a one-off analysis. I have for a long time had a vague belief that in production settings people usually opt for heuristics / point estimates etc but I haven't had much involvement with this sort of thing for a while.
You probably couldn't. There are lots of forms of hyper mobility, and extreme versions come with health risks. With practice and training you can probably do a lot more than you imagine, but for most of us the whole "fold yourself in half backwards" thing is beyond the limits of our spine, and it's for the best.

Ask HN: Why is bad grammar tolerated on social media given recent AI advances?
Shouldn't people without flawless grammar be required to use an AI to check their grammar?
Besides reddit front page, this stuff also appears in enough other pop culture podcasts and the occasional NYT expose that it's out there in the popular zeitgeist. Unfortunately, here it's just my science immune system flaring up on a random internet board.

Also, between the "could this be used for vehicles" parent comment and that downvoted interdimensional energy transfer comment below, it doesn't take a Aliens-Did-the-Pyramids Guy to see what dots were starting to be connected... I might as well be the one to flag it explicitly and earn some imaginary internet points.

But who knows, maybe I'm actually the goberment disinformation agent trying to keep all this under wraps...

AMD doesn’t have that problem, though, so is it a problem with x86 or Intel? I would bet that Apple’s CPU team could get great results with a free hand on x86, too – probably not quite as good but close.
Where do you get the "low-quality" part from - my experience with NotebookLM is that they create much higher quality, more informative, more fact based, and more concise podcasts than 99% of the stuff I listen to. I've mostly switched entirely over to NotebookLM for my podcast listening. They, generally, offer a far higher quality experience from my perspective.

Maybe you have the problem backwards - we accidentally end up listening to non NotebookLM podcasts?

If you're running a version of windows that includes group policy editor, it does. Given the way windows 10+ disregards if not outright changes settings, I wouldn't exactly bet my life or my PC on it anyways.

My specific point, at any rate, was that Windows does not respect settings regarding metered connection.

Please don't try this at home. This is clickbait, or alternatively, a naive discussion that didn't expect top-of-HN attention.

There's one issue spelled out as a premise, namely, that this requires another connection thats perfectly 100% reliable.

Then, there's another glaring issue. I won't recap the article for this one because there's too much verbiage involved. TL;DR: fallible is assumed to mean "if the server receives a request, its guaranteed the client will receive a response". [1] shows what happens when that's not the case

Last but not least, there's a lot more to TCP than what's let on in the article. "turns out this absurd hypothetical isn't actually that far off of how TCP+TLS and UDP behave" -- I won't attempt to claim this for UDP, but I am 110% certain that this is extremely misleading for TCP. McDonald's hamburger isn't that far off from steak is significantly more accurate.

Usually I wouldn't skewer something, but, I've seen the horror of a "we'll just do the good and necessary parts of TCP" reimplementation. One that ran on 10s of millions of devices and led to crappy Bluetooth syncing and throughput for years. Two people picked the parts of TCP they thought were necessary, hacked it in, and it's hard to accept how much this cost various people and companies in various ways. 10 digit problem.[2]

[1] c.f. here for an easy trace in the article's vernacular of what happens if that's not the case https://pastebin.com/0Zs1pRfR

[2] arguably, the problem here wasn't trying it, but management being unable to handle everything after trying it. But that's a whole different story :) -- at 26 I would have thought this was impossible, at 36, I expect it
kind of like "accidentally" using a company business card to go to Disneyland, and then doing it several times over months.
Yes, that should never happen. If you ever encounter that, please report a bug describing the situation in which it occurred. The Brush tool bug was fixed yesterday, so that particular one shouldn't happen anymore.
> Why non-LTS out of curiosity?

Based on my experience, more recent kernel versions have more fixes/better support for recent hardware(or sometimes not so recent). LTS doesn't backport everything from later releases for obvious reasons.
Social media sites could suspend users who post with bad grammar.

> I don't think U.C.C. applies to interstate commerce

https://www.uniformlaws.org/acts/ucc

The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is a comprehensive set of laws governing all commercial transactions in the United States. It is not a federal law, but a uniformly adopted state law. Uniformity of law is essential in this area for the interstate transaction of business. Because the UCC has been universally adopted, businesses can enter into contracts with confidence that the terms will be enforced in the same way by the courts of every American jurisdiction.
> What came out of it was a lot of spaghetti making a mess all over the walls, and the floors, and the ceiling.

I just don't know what you're talking about. What mess? What quality tanked? The picture you're painting is quite simply not what I see. Not at all, not even close.

The tools I use continue to work just fine. And I can point to tons of useful feature improvements and upgrades since the 2010's, that make a meaningful positive difference to both my productivity and my leisure. So I don't want to see companies suddenly become super-conservative in terms of releasing features. I want them to keep doing what they're doing.
My wife's I-485 was denied because of an overlooked J1 residency requirement. She has to spend 9 more months in her home country for the residency, and we're looking into waivers. We would prefer not to leave because my current employment requires me to be in the US. Her no objection waiver was denied and now we're trying an exceptional hardship waiver. What are alternatives? Is this a good route to take?
Will you please explain why you attempted to conceal your involvement in this article? Furthermore, why did you do that so poorly?

Watson did it too, a while back.
The article says clearly there's no guarantee this feature will be released.

Which I'm reading as "Demo-ready, but far from production-ready."

Somewhat relevant: my experience with Photoshop's Generative Fill has been underwhelming. Sometimes it's wrong, often it's comically wrong. I haven't had many easy wins with it.

IMO this is a company that doodles with code for its own entertainment, not a company that innovates robust and highly useful production-ready features for the benefit of users.

So we'll see if Mr Spinny Dragon makes it to production, and is as useful as billed in the demo.

Yes; in the same way you can influence gravity by a spinning mass, albeit we do not possess (by orders of magnitude) material or energy required to spin a mass fast enough to detect an effect.
