Verizon has a different strategy for this type of thing but is still in the 'enshitified mba-run companies' category. Charge like $400 for a 5g internet device that's worth like $12 and built on OSS anyway (+ probably charge it again if the device isn't returned). Device only has only a power-button and is designed to be preconfigured, but isn't, so that they can make the customer call and navigate 6+ hours of tech support. This is so frustrating that it might easily take a month to do it if you want to keep your sanity.. which means they can bill an extra month providing no service at all, and if you were counting on a trial period it's probably over. The trial cancelation might be easy, but really, that matters most when there's actually significant competition among providers.
In the end it's service that's easily twice as expensive and half as good as what most of the civilized world enjoys.

There's what, like 10k hours in a year, half a million hours in a lifetime? So rather than "make it easy to cancel" laws what we really need is some general recognition of the fact that deliberately stealing 1 hour of time from half a million people is roughly equivalent to murdering 1 person. Everyone knows that class actions for a $2 dollar check are a joke. If your business is practically essential so that you're basically guaranteed customers, and your business practices deliberately add friction that cost people time+money, then you're guilty of violence as well as theft.
Well then why does the PR template used at the company require manual validation steps on every PR if it's not expected that reviewers do them? Do you really think 5 seconds was enough time to "sanity check" the PR? Do you think 5 seconds was enough time to even click the code tab? Why are two "reviews" even required if the reviewers are actually expected to simply rubber stamp every single PR that comes through?

Edit: "the fix for a bad PR is more PRs" has got the be the worst take I've seen in years.
Yes there are N100 SBCs including a RP2040, so best of both worlds.
Israel has lied repeatedly countless times, like the tunnels under hospitals that never show up, or when they say the didn't kill the journalists they did end up admitting to. Or the claims of rape and beheaded babies that were all fake. You can not take anything they say as serious.
Yes, that's currently what people do (including journalists and science explainers), and it does not work just fine. In fact it's kind of unbelievable that an intelligent and educated person would defend "inventing random units" as an acceptable tactic. I mean even just from your example, which is bigger, 3 football fields or 70 school buses?

And actually, anytime I need to do anything with a number, I either use a computer (in which case I'm not entering in the numbers manually), or I don't need more precision. In fact more precision completely gets in the way.

Also, we have an existing "scientific notation", which is completely incapable of being copy-pasted into any calculator I've ever used.
Great advice, appreciate you sharing.
Scary as it is, is there any reason for a passenger jet to have uptime if more than, say, 24hrs? Wouldn't you just switch it off and on again between every flight, regardless?

If this issue was in a car, we would never know as no one keeps their car running for 50 days straight.
> This alarming-sounding situation

That's not what's alarming to me. What's alarming is that the plane could possibly be in a position to be continuously powered on for 51 days in the first place.
Apple teases "week of announcements" about the Mac starting on Monday
I thought it was past tense, at this point? I'll try and look in my kid's school next chance I get, but I don't think anyone pushes the pyramid anymore.
Long solved, though some of the new stuff tends to be out of stock at launch for a bit at least.

But it's still all produced in the UK and shipping + customs fees easily rack up another 30% so it's at least as expensive as tickets for Taylor Swift.
That's how you bootstrap a disruptive technology. The west also subsidizes EVs, but in a weak and disorganized way.

I don't think airplane software ships updates the way npm packages do. I would be more surprised if this is fixed.
> I feel like this is all smoke and mirrors to redirect from the likelihood intentional silicon backdoors that are effectively undetectable.

The technologies Apple PCC is using has real benefits and is most certainly not "all smoke and mirrors". Reproducible builds, remote attestation and transparency logging are individually useful, and the combination of them even more so.

As for the likelihood of Apple launching Apple PCC to redirect attention from backdoors in their silicon, that seems extremely unlikely. We can debate how unlikely, but there are many far more likely explanations. One is that Apple PCC is simply good business. It'll likely reduce security costs for Apple, and strengthen the perception that Apple respects users' privacy.

> when registers r0-rN are set to values [A, ..., N] and a jump to address 0xCONSTANT occurs

I would recommend something more deniable, or at the very least something that can't easily be replayed. Put a challenge-response in there, or attack the TRNG. It is trivial to make a stream of bytes appear random while actually being deterministic. Such an attack would be more deniable, while also allowing a passive network attacker to read all user data. No need to get code execution on the machines.
Convenience works for bad things too.
Extremely available. E.g. pishop.us alone has 947 in stock to buy instantly.
idea was to try to imagine how actually the world might look like. ofc in the end of the day someone would do that.
That looks like the work I heard about! I'm surprised I can't find what I thought was the podcast I learned about this. None of my usuals is showing results googling.

This looks like a good summary of the story I heard though.

Especially when you want to work with PIO as well. Well, either way Raspberry Pi gets paid.
Is using something other than XCode viable? I'd love to do more with swift but I hate that IDE.
It is literally a specialized subset of Tool Use both in concept and how it appears to be actually implemented.
> Congress is accorded very little power by the constitution

Congress doesn't have universal power, but the power it is explicitly listed is actually a lot broader than you make it sound. Some particularly powerful grants of power include:

1. commerce clause gives power to "regulate commerce...among the several states". As always the wording is vague, but it can reasonably be interpreted to be VERY broad. And it generally has been interpreted broadly. Why does the government have the power to criminalize drugs? Because there's an interestate market for drugs, basically. If you can criminalize possesion of a substance under the commerce clause, you can sure as shit regulate shady subscription practices by national chains.

2. The 13th, 14th and 15th amendments guarantee a bunch of rights and then grants congress power generic enforcement power. Enforcing such powerful and varied rights can reach into a lot of things.

3. Congress can raise and then spend money however it wants. So unless it violates a right, congress can basically empower the executive to do ANYTHING that money can buy.

4. The necessary and proper clause gives power to "make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution". This really encourages broad reading of the explicitly listed powers and is used to justify congressional oversight, applying federal law to all kinds of random situation.

Moreover when it comes to the agency power, they effectively have the COMBINED power of the executive (which they are part of) and whatever powers the legislature has given them.
Nitpicking here, but you mean DHCP rather than NAT, right?
I did not, but like I said above I've never had physical addiction such that it caused serious withdrawal symptoms (night sweats, seizures, etc have never been an issue for me), so I'm lucky in that respect. Mostly just tremors or what not when I'm on a string of binge drinking nights. I'm a big guy so I don't know if that's why, or just that I am lucky. In the last decade or so I primarily drink beer, mostly because I'm a very fast drinker and I will drink everything under the roof when I get a full head of steam, so I defensively avoid keeping liquor around.

My sleep has been pretty hosed up since I started but it wasn't like it was great before. I am also probably suffering from sleep apnea and I'm hoping to address that soon as I probably have another 4-6 months at the current weight loss rate before I am at a normal BMI.
OTOH, countertop deep dryers have had magsafe-like connectors for their power cords for a long time (I seem to remember seeing them before Apple's version, but I could be misremembering). That cord is carrying wall current. The purpose of them is so that if you snag the power cord or little hands give it a yank, it will disconnect before the fryer can be pulled off a counter or tip over.
Even with super long leases, couldn’t they just have a larger subnet? A /8 oughta do it.

Show HN: MemoryAM – In Memory TableAM for PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL's TableAM (Table Access Method) is extremely powerful, but there are few examples that can be used to learn about them and build your own.

MemoryAM is a simplified TableAM implementation that provides its own (simple) MVCC and is meant to help others as they explore further into the PostgreSQL extension ecosystem.
It's simple. I see a link to Pinterest, I don't click.
Having lived in Brooklyn and Jersey City for a combined 12 years, starting when an office worker could still buy a literal house in Prospect Heights, I'm fully convinced that "gentrification" is a meaningless phrase and we need a completely different way of studying this issue that looks at the role of finance and government in displacing the poor.

Wealthy individuals moved into "gentrifying" neighborhoods _after_ massive movements of capital, not before. In 2007, no professional was leaving the upper east side to move to Williamsburg or Prospect / Crown Heights. After Bloomberg rezoned the waterfront and rammed Atlantic Yards through, boatloads of money moved in. Vacant lots and abandoned buildings were torn down, new ones were built, "luxury" housing stock was created and _then_ rich people moved in.

It's not all that different than VC money in startups - investors are sheep. Once it becomes clear a big fish has made an investment in an area, money floods in and drives up prices. To justify the increase in land values, investors have to raise rents. To raise rents, they need to improve the housing stock. This creates the inventory that the wealthy purchase.
Have been using VS Studio for 10+ years and never used Rider.

What are the most compelling reasons to switch? I have heard lots of praise but little substance so far.

For .NET dev it seems hard for any IDE to rival VS Studio's tight integration with the whole MS + .NET ecosystem.

A modern, open-source alternative to cloud-managed databases
postgresql_cluster is an open-source solution for deploying high-availability PostgreSQL clusters across multiple cloud providers or on-premise. Unlike managed cloud databases, this tool is self-hosted but fully automated, offering cost transparency, better control over resources, and advanced features like AI-based search (pgvector), time-series data (TimescaleDB), and geospatial data (PostGIS), and more. Designed for reliability, it includes automated failover, backup, and restoration—no Docker or Kubernetes needed. With a focus on simplicity, rapid deployment, and vendor independence, it gives developers the flexibility to build on their terms, not the cloud provider’s.

Get started in minutes and experience the power of full control over your PostgreSQL infrastructure — no lock-in, no compromises.

> You'll have to explain what you mean by this

The progression of distribution. Printing press, photos, radio, movies, television. The early web was text, then came images, then audio (Napster age), and then video (remember that Netflix used to ship DVDs?).

The flip side of that is production and the ratio of producers to consumers. As the bandwidth for distribution increases, there is a decrease in the cost and complexity for producers and naturally, we see the same progression with producers on each new platform and distribution technology: text, still images, audio, moving images.
GPT-3 came out in early 2020, prior to that we had just GPT-2 which was mildly interesting at best but not something that could generate usable code.

The best current LLMs GPT-4o, Gemini 1.5 Pro, Claude 3.5 Sonnet - are just about at the point now where I'd expect them to be able to get a useful chunk of your Android spec there done. Which is pretty wild!
I've not seen a "sneak peek" approach to a free trial. Interesting. I don't think it goes far enough though, I want to see the whole thing before I make the investment imo.
I’ll bet you the typical EV stays powered on 24/7 with reboots around OTA updates.
Not at all, and here's a personal example.

I submit patches to projects operated by companies all the time, and I generally don't care who runs the project (whether it's a company or a hobbyist). I do this only because it benefits me directly. It probably helps other people too, but they're not my problem. The company making money is also not my problem.

I fix a bug or add a feature, which I was going to do anyway. I get that change merged upstream. I can then happily use my Linux distribution's packages (or some other downstream dependency) without wasting monstrous amounts of time replacing those packages with my own locally maintained version.
I was speaking with a 787 pilot last Sunday, I told him that the week before when I was at an airport there were two pilots sitting next to me talking about how "This is the third bloody 787 rescue we've had this month... I can't believe we had full engine and <I think he said auxiliary?> failure at the same time" - I asked him if this is common and he said "I hear of it, but I haven't had that many major failures, but lots of little things - last time I flew in from <city> a few moments after we touched down we lost auxiliary power from the rear engine, all the cabin lighting went black along with a number of other things, thankfully we'd already significantly reduced speed and were straight and already lost most of the speed we were carrying, so we were fine and taxied to the disembark location, they had it up and flying again within the day - but it certainly was disconcerting to say the least".

I will be slightly paraphrasing from memory there, but certainly was quite surprised how calm he was about the whole thing, there's no way I'd board one of those things.

This is a welcome development. Apple has traditionally dragged their feet on bug bounties.
It's very glitchy for me on firefox on linux, with many of the quakes not rendering or flickering as if they render in the wrong order and are covered by the base map.

The artifacts change randomly if I zoom and pan around, but it isn't easy to control. For example, in the default global view when opened, it only seems to show quakes in the South Pacific near NZ.

Is it also because people count citizens of foreign origin as immigrants too?

Go to somewhere like Bradford or Birmingham in the UK, I'm sure vast majority of people there are born in Britain, yet some people would call all of them "immigrants" regardless.
> So "advertising", in terms of "informing the market of a product" and "connecting customers to businesses in mutually beneficial transactions", is fine I guess. Good, even. Stalking, lying, manipulating, and rent-seeking through dominance are wrong.

yes, take driving for instance. Some people drive responsibly, watch for bicycle and walkers, others drive like maniacs yet it's the same thing, driving a car.

It's not so much what you do with advertisement than how you do it, but advertisement in itself isn't bad.

Now if you take the worst example possible, Facebook, Google, Microsoft etc. all these companies behaving like rats trying to extract as much data as possible from you, it's going to look bad. But for instance, when we still had phonebook you would look for a plumber and some plumber who paid for advertisement would get a bigger space, in exchange the phonebook company would make money and everyone would receive phonebook for free.

That is an exemple of usefull advertisement.
I don’t get the comment. For one I’m excited for developments in the field. Not afraid it will “replace me” as technology has replaced me multiple times over. I’m looking towards working with these models more and more.
That makes no sense. If you’re the type of person who’d want to delete the App Store app despite not having access to alternatives, you’re not someone who’d ever want it or use it or buy from it.
Some of these planes are constantly flying as long as they're not in maintenance. A plane not in the air is a plane the company bought that's not currently generating profit.
>dude, trust me
Overnight, planes tend to be plugged in to ground power, to ventilate, keep the batteries charged, for the cleaning crews, etc. Most get rebooted once in a while, but it's always possible one won't be, hence the directive to be certain.

This particular problem has been known for years (the article is from 2020).
It would be really nice if they would allow to integrate with local/same-network completion (say, ollama)... How many companies are explicitly prohibiting any and all of these tools because "our code cannot leave internal network" rule (which, tbh, does make sense in a lot of cases)

Rider is an excellent IDE for .NET development. A lot less bloat than Visual Studio 2022. I’ve had a lot of my dev teams switch to it. We offer them both options. If you’re not working in legacy .NET Framework apps then I’d heavily suggest giving Rider a try.
"Simultaneously" meaning +/- a few centuries. As much time passed between 1300 BC and 1100 BC as between the first steam locomotive and the founding of facebook.

Your history is incorrect, though. Still images predate text, by a lot.

Cave paintings came before writing. Woodcuts came before the printing press.

I agree. Have played all but Civ 4. Civ 1 has a few faults like way too many game deciding dice throws. Say a turn 6 goody hut spawns either a new city basically doubling your victory chances, or 6 barbarians most likely ending your game really soon. But it's still the best overall. It seems they really understood the power of decisions there. There's no decision clutter about 15% bonuses or so.

It doesn't learn from your feedback beyond the current conversation that you are having with it: https://simonwillison.net/2024/May/29/training-not-chatting/

The difference between using AI and working with an intern is that the intern learns from you while the AI doesn't... which means that YOU need to learn from your interactions with the AI so you can prompt it more effectively next time.

All of my Claude interactions include "(no react)" because I learned from past experience that without that it writes a React component which is much harder to export out and use separately.

I've also learned to remind it to use 16px text sizes on input boxes (to avoid a zoom effect when selecting an input field on Mobile Safari), and I habitually say "Add a copy to clipboard button that changes its text to Copied! for 1.5s after you click it" because then I get a better UX for the copy feature.

- really only communicates via stdio bytestreams
