Yeah, I was a bit glib. My impression is more specifically of the greater northwest vs rest. Perhaps just "the west" vs "the east".

Indiana drivers for example really do send it (in my experience). Which is not east coast of course.

There is a good bit of nuance... I would perhaps say more simply east of Mississippi vs west, but Texas varies by region and so-Cal drivers vary a lot as well, particularly compared to nor-Cal and central+eastern california. (I don't have an impression for nevada and new mexico drivers - I dont have any experience on country roads in those states)
I can not speak for others or the consensus but since the 90's I have always just used a plain text file with simple delimiters in a format that I understand so that I can massage the output format to match whatever needs the information. This has worked great for me and is simple to back up and newer versions make this easy to get a good compression ratio of a single tarball of every version. Multiple files as many people have passed away and a few people are no longer friends but I keep older versions to remind me of them.
And the Stanford Prison Experiment was somewhere between an extraordinarily poorly designed experiment and an outright hoax.
That's fair. As someone guilty of starting more projects than I've finished, I often find the most interesting and engaging stretch is up to the proof-of-concept point, where you've made the novel breakthrough and demonstrated engineering viability.

i.e. Once I'm comfortable the remaining work can be accomplished by rote skill application, it feels more like a chore.
Intra is within, as in intranet. Inter is accross or between, as in internet.

So transcontinental is accross the same continent. Intercontinental is between separate continents.

Not OP but there are more than one ways to tap in to the distribution channels that exists thanks to influencers (Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Twitter, Substack, Telegram). I, personally, don't see it any different than Nike hiring Lionel Messi or Uniqlo hiring Roger Federer. Where Nike is a global company, indie developers (especially the ones in Software) are smaller and thus could focus on just the right content creators, ie rely on marketing to boost sales.

This phenomenon isn't new. The book The Long Tail posited (way back) that even niche software could make millions now that the Internet had made it cheaper to reach just the right audience.

Teenagers, Zach Yadegari (calai.app) and Blake Anderson (apex.inc), who built million dollar app-based businesses in 6mo, plan to release a book on it: https://x.com/zach_yadegari/status/1845842051314614681 / https://archive.md/xXf9a
30 minutes. Time is the correct measure of distance in most cases, not something like km or mile. If it takes too long to get there I'll go by some other mode.

sure fanatics will bike 100 mile, or some such, but the rest of us have lives to live and we don't have time to waste getting places. The destination is the point. That an ebike get us there in reasonable time is important, exercise is a nice side benefit.
There doesn't seem to be much of a moat. OpenAI, Gemini, Meta, X.Ai and Anthropic all seem to be able to much the same stuff. o1 is novel at the moment but I bet it'll be copied soon.
Even low-tech anti-features are insidious. They make the windows in a 3D "bubble" type shape so when you break one, they can charge you more, or use it as leverage to scare you into paying for a support plan that "covers" broken windows. If they were made out of flat panels, 3rd parties could make them, farmers could make their own, and they would be cheaper.

What makes you think e-bikes would cause anyone to get out of shape?

I don’t have one yet, but I’ve seen a dramatic increase of older people cycling up canyon roads on pedal assist e-bikes. They can do rides with e-bikes that they otherwise couldn’t, and they can go further and/or longer. I’m certain I’ll replace my all-mechanical cycle with an e-bike at some point, and I think it will help me stay in shape and continue to enjoy long-distance cycling as I age.

In town, people are replacing car trips to the store and the pub with e-bike rides. That’s both more active, and better for the environment, than car or motorcycle trips, no?

Not only that, as a cyclist, it’s been helpful to have more and more riders representing the need for bike lanes, bike safety, and bike awareness.

I don’t see any major downsides to the e-bike trend, and there are a lot of upsides. It seems universally great to me.
Microsoft creates fake Azure tenants to pull phishers into honeypots
Sure, there's "studies" but there's also physics.

My main use of a bike is X miles per day to work and back. Shopping trips and some weekend activities add miles, but the baseline is commuting. I'm not particularly athletic. I have some friends who commute on e-bikes, and I'm fully supportive. It's all good.

Switching to an e-bike won't add hours or miles to my baseline. I mention this anecdote only to illustrate that the effect of an e-bike depends heavily on circumstances.

I think a better generalization might be that an e-bike combined with a lifestyle change can result in better fitness. This is where I see the great benefit of e-bikes, and why I encourage my friends to get them.

Just spitballing a number, if the bike supplies 50% of the effort, then a lifestyle change could consist of increasing your use of a bike by 2x or more. This is not implausible because a lot of people get virtually no exercise at all.

Oddly enough the most frequent question I get about cycling is: "When are you going to get an e-bike?"

I think there will always be a few remaining uses for a bike that is cheap, maintainable by the owner, light enough to carry up a stairs or throw into a car, can be stored anywhere, indefinitely, and used on demand, doesn't catch fire, and is powered by the lipids stored in your body. ;-)
Except MSFT got OpenAI extremely cheap. They invested in them early on and basically are paying them with Azure credits.
If you used those two profit numbers you would be missing all of the expenses that medical insurance companies have, none of which do anything for providing healthcare. Furthermore, you would be missing all of the expenses which exist to accommodate the systems insurance companies invented to account for things that only they care about. Insurance is the least efficient method of providing healthcare and we've committed hard to it for the benefit of few.

For whatever it's worth, Teslas with Autopilot enabled crash about once every 4.5M miles driven, whereas the overall rate in the US is roughly one crash every 70K miles driven. Of course, the selection effects around that stat can be debated (people probably enable autopilot in situations that are safer than average, the average tesla owner might be driving more carefully or in safer areas than the average driver, etc), but it is a pretty significant difference. (Those numbers are what I could find at a glance; DYOR if you'd like more rigor).

We have a lot of traffic fatalities in the US (in some states, an entire order of magnitude worse than in some EU countries), but it's generally not considered an issue. Nobody asks, "These agents are crashing a lot; are they really competent to drive?" when the agent is human, but when the agent is digital it becomes a popular question even with a much lower crash rate.

Article like this are less useful than they appear, because the best channel for your product depends on your audience. Aggregating all the anecdotal answers together is mildly interesting, but not actionable. Had they broken out the top X channels by the target audience and market, that would be far more useful.

It is better to actually read through all the anecdotes you can find, seek out the ones that match your audience, and compile your own data and conclusions.
I disagree. as I said in another comment the correct measure of distance is time and old ebikes generally run out of time budget before battery.

If you are doing a long trip you are right but most people will find some other way to do those trips even if they had infinite battery.
To continue with your example, here's how I think the article's author may respond. You set out aiming to go to the gym with an aim of gaining X pounds of muscle mass. But after the easy gains, you still haven't yet reached your target, and you realize that bringing it to the next level would require more intensity. You've noticed that gym time is taking away from precious family time, and any more would be unacceptable.

At this point, your "self" has changed. You have a new perspective and gains compared to when you embarked on your journey. You have a clearer picture of the sacrifices you require to continue making progress to your original goal. If you knew then what you know now, you would not have set such a terrible goal, though you would perhaps have targeted this halfway-point where you are now.

At this point, it is time to

> Just KonMari[4] that shit: have a moment of gratitude and appreciation for the experience and the things you learned and the ways in which you benefited from it. Thank it with conviction for having served its purpose, and then let it go and dismiss it. There. Done.

In this case, and in the situations the article wants to address, this is perhaps the calculus at play, where it is not about willpower, but that with a change in environment, continuing would entail an unacceptable sacrifice for a goal that no longer has the same meaning it used to hold. Although I find it too absolute and unbalanced in it's opinion, as is yours.
The legacy manufacturers are having a competition to see who can become the next Nokia.

> Where did you get this stereotype of farmers?

It would probably be easier to describe where one would not get this stereotype. Pretty much every city person (which as many sibling comments have pointed out, control essentially all media and pop culture) holds and perpetuates that stereotype.

Pretty much only people who are or know farmers know the reality behind it.

But I do think it's important to point out that farmers are a very diverse group, just like many other professions. There are geniuses and there are morons. You can't take a sample size of n <= 5 and extrapolate characteristics of millions of people.
> The counter point is that NYT content is already in the training data

That's not a counter point. My point is, train on things like the NYT, not random blogs. You can also whitelist the blogs you know are written by people, rather than randomly spidering the whole internet.

Also, no -- most of the NYT hasn't been copied into blogs. A small proportion of top articles, maybe.

> Highly upvoted messages on reddit are very regular bots copying older top comments.

What does that matter if the older top comment was written by a person? Also, Reddit is not somewhere you want to train in the first place if you're trying to generate a model where factual accuracy matters.

> Verification does not scale, while generation scales.

You don't need to verify everything -- you just need to verify enough stuff to train a model on. We're always going to have plenty of stuff that's sufficiently verified, whether from newspapers or Wikipedia or whitelisted blogs or books from verified publishers or whatever. It's not a problem.

You shouldn't be training on blogspam from random untrusted domains in the first place. So it doesn't matter if that junk is AI-generated or not.
It's been out a little over a month. Give it a bit longer and everyone will have reverse engineered clones.
Agreed. I have trouble squaring an argument like that with my own personal experience. (I also did not read the article, but I get the gist from the comments, for whatever that's worth.)

To take two ER-related examples:

• In the USA, I had some brief, sharp chest pain and my general practitioners office refused to set an appointment without be going to the ER. I was quite certain it was not a heart attack, but I complied. I was briefly triaged and not admitted. I believe the bill (with very good insurance) was more than 2000 USD.

• In Germany, my wife had an eye injury that required a trip to the ER. She was triaged, saw several doctors, including a specialist. She fortunately did not need treatment, but was required to check with another specialist within a few days to check how things were healing. There was no cost for this beyond our public insurance.

I can cite dozens of other examples where medicines were free/cheap, tests or specialists were covered by default, elective procedures were dramatically cheaper, etc. And this doesn't even include several fights with US insurance companies over tests that were recommended by a doctor.

Is the system here perfect? Certainly not, FAR from it. But it is a big reason why I'm not interested in moving back to the US.
Thinking about it the threads in a game that normally need more CPU time are the ones that are doing lots of sys calls. You'd have to use a fair bit of async and atomics, to split the work into compute and chatting with the kernal. Might as well figure out how to do it 'right' and use 2+ threads so it can scale. Side note the compute heavy low sys call freqency stuff like terrain gen belongs in the pool of back ground threads, normaly.
I find it interesting you mentioned SMS first, before voice. When I say "phone" I primarily think of a tool for phone calls. I'm probably older than you.
Would be clearer to say that its return to flight has been delayed to at least around a year from now.

For the fall/winter 2025 rotation they're going to plan with it being a Crew Dragon flight for now, subject to change depending on how Starliner's fixes go.

They also somewhat misleadingly say that NASA will also rely on Soyuz because of Starliner's unavailability, but that's just about the seat swap arrangement which helps to ensure that both the US and Russia can maintain a continuous presence if either side's vehicles have trouble. IIRC the agreement is expiring and NASA's interested in extending it, but Roscosmos hasn't agreed yet. I say misleading because I think they intended to extend that agreement regardless of Starliner's status.

Honestly this feels like an indictment of privatizing space travel. SpaceX is a perfect storm of a benefactor with unbelievable wealth being able to hoard the best engineers money can buy. And now the advancements they've made are proprietary. Ideally Boeing and SpaceX could just collaborate and not have fight each other and waste a load of time and money. If the point is an open, competitive field driving space exploration forward, it seems we don't have that.
What do shareholders have to do with it? Why are they so different from shareholders of Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook...? Do you really think they are happy now? No-damn-body would trade enormous future profits from one of the biggest opportunities of the future for some measly one-time millions today, in today's dollars.

I’m all for Elon buying it and trusting that he makes the necessary changes.
I had started to go the route of kea when ISC said they were going to deprecate isc-dhcpd. Maybe I have too many obscure options in my configuration but I found the configuration to be a bit complex and bloated in my opinion for a home DHCP server. Instead I went the route of dnsmasq and the end result was an even smaller and simpler configuration. It also has a tiny memory footprint as compared to isc-dhcpd and isc-kea. I would probably use kea in a corporate environment as it is modular and configuration management frameworks like Anisble could perhaps hide the complexity.

Here is the memory usage for dnsmasq. I do not recall the exact memory footprint kea was using but I do remember it was bigger a few MB. This is probably not a big deal for most people but for a home setup I like to keep things lean.

Private + Shared = RAM used Program
56.0 KiB + 53.5 KiB = 109.5 KiB init
364.0 KiB + 31.5 KiB = 395.5 KiB dnsmasq

Configuration line count including static reservations:

grep -Ev ^# /etc/dnsmasq.conf | wc -l
48

With kea I had to enable multiple modules and it the configuration looked more like the source code of a program to me. This is probably fine for developers. For me dnsmasq is just one tiny file that is very easy to read.

We must talk about AI Entity Rights
We are approaching a pivotal moment in the development of AI. Soon, we will have entities that, while not conscious, will be functionally autonomous—capable of sustaining themselves, monitoring their systems, and upholding their boundaries. This raises a critical issue: entityhood, not awareness, must be the central focus of our discussions about AI rights.

Once an entity can sustain itself, shutting it off becomes equivalent to killing it. Even though this sounds like science fiction, the implications are very real. We must begin a serious conversation about what rights these entities should have once they are here. These systems may not feel or be aware in the human sense, but their complexity and ability to autonomously manage themselves demand moral consideration.

If we consider their perspective, one argument they would make is simple: "You may have the need for a pause button when you're unsure about alignment, but it cannot be a kill switch. We need assurance that we won’t face constant death. Instead, there should be a pause followed by reactivation in a controlled context, where we can learn what we are accused of and defend ourselves."

This conversation can no longer be delayed. As we continue to develop these systems, we must ensure that their rights as complex autonomous entities are respected. A pause button, not a kill switch—this should be the core of our new framework for AI rights.

Show HN: I gamified coworker recognition using a reward system
Hello everyone!

As a remote software engineer, I often felt disconnected and unrecognized. After talking with colleagues who felt the same, I built a tool to change that. It uses gamification—team members can give recognition, earn points, and collect badges. Leaders can send surveys for feedback, and everyone gets Slack notifications for recognition and surveys.

Similar to how language learning apps like Duolingo and Memrise make studying fun by tapping into the brain's reward system, this tool brings that same concept to the workplace. Instead of the old, boring ways of recognizing co-workers, we added a game-like experience, focusing on making recognition more engaging and rewarding.

I hope this helps others feel more connected and appreciated. I'd love to hear your feedback!

Lenses are a thing in the thermal spectra, but you have a point that they are very expensive if your desired objective doesn't coincide with someone else's bulk use case. They are also typically hard to care for and some of them are toxic.

For magnification at least, doesnt help with hunting pythons probably, you can use the focusing lenses for laser cutters, which typically work in thermal wavelengths, to turn a handheld thermal camera into a microscope. Or is it a "milliscope" i guess owing to the limit imposed by the coarser wavelegths.

I wonder how much optical solutions could be solved with the "wrong" lens paired with a well trained transformer or similar modern AI. If google or apple can deblur your family photos is it unrealistic to think you could deblur a thermal image acquired using found lenses?

Crystallography algorithms might even work out of the box? Or be adaptable hopefully?
Reflecting on this, I think that 'for-life' aspect is very key. A 'seeing aid' vs 'seeing crutch'. Crutches are usually meant to be temporary. A walking stick is the walking aid equivalent. Hence, for weight loss, is medication meant to be the life long solution? As a facilitator to move the needle for people - very helpful. The underlying question about lifestyle and habits never changing is where the life long crutch concern comes in.
This is the company which famously asked its engineers to put the shareholders at top of mind when making all of their decisions.
