Caltrain is a Pebble app that displays upcoming trains at a station, and where those trains will stop along the remainder of each of their routes.

Finally, it uses PebbleKit JS to retrieve your location on launch. If it gets a response before you manually choose a station, it will automatically show the station closest to you.

...you could literally map that "applet" to long-press on a button, and get the info in like 5 seconds.

For extra "dick tracy" spice, call an uber from your wristwatch with 3-4 clicks (long-press, ok, next, ok => "your uber will arrive in __ minutes"). Actually, reviewing the app docs, it looks like it was only two long-presses to request $LAST_USED_CAR to $CURRENT_LOCATION.

Buttons, people! Buttons!
Staircases too. There's one of the more respected instructors up near here in northern Oregon who does civilian tactical training stuff. Which is not my cup of tea, but it is interesting listening to the guy rant. He has what appears to be a deep seated fear/loathing for staircases.
Not so sure about the 9-1-1 point.

>"All wireless phones, even those that are not subscribed to or supported by a specific carrier, can call 911. However, calls to 911 on phones without active service do not deliver the caller’s location to the 911 call center, and the call center cannot call these phones back to find out the caller’s location or the nature of the emergency. If disconnected, the 911 center has no way to call back the caller."

Seems they're deliberately distorting their responsibilities.

If you don't care about the annual updates, the subscription is actually more expensive than just paying for it every other year or less frequently.
We found that there is more nuance when it comes to different languages, we also update our leaderboard as new models drop so the best models are always available through PreCog. It's also nice to not have to tab switch constantly between chatbots and instead just use them in one central place. We added a feature so you can just pick the model you'd like to chat with if you dont want to be automatically matched with the leaderboard rankings (all matched responses provide an explanation in the reasoning behind the match so you can see why the model was chosen).
Sure, it's more effecient to have it use an API. And people have been integrating those for the last while.

But there's tons of applications that are locked behind a website or deckstop GUI with no API that are accessible via vision.
That is my impression.

Broad spectrum problem solving, knowledge, critical thought have become less emphasized as society has become more streamlined and efficient.

In such an environment, attributes like conscientiousness are more emphasized.

This is highly evident in changes to our US education system
[Note: This will not be an anti-Cable-company screed]

The American legislative system is bizarre.

To begin with, Congress is accorded very little power by the constitution, with most of it resting with "We the people" or the states.

This however, doesn't pattern match with the amount of power some people (typically progressives) _think_ the Congress or government _ought_ to have, or the amount of power Congress _wants_ to have (as much as possible), so we see BS things like the abuse of the Commerce Clause loophole to justify any Congressional intervention.

Now, you'd think that with all this power that they have loopholed their way into, they would actually exercise it, but that doesn't actually happen, because they are permanently gridlocked and can't pass any damn shit unless it's part of a giant 1000-page omnibus bill that has 100 unrelated things clubbed together based on whatever horse-trading they manage to do one day before the govt shutdown deadline.

So what actually happens is that the actual rule-making is done by the executive, in the form of these government agencies, which ideally should be enforcing things that the Congress has passed, but effectively are given pseudo-legal power through a variety of judicial interpretations (eg. the Chevron Doctrine) that can be overturned by the next Supreme Court as trivially as they were written in.

All in all, you get a massively dysfunctional system where regulatory agencies act as effectively unelected lawmakers, with the actual lawmakers doing jackshit, and the judiciary effectively supporting these shenanigans through capricious rulings.

And while doing all this, lawmakers can conveniently ramp on the rhetoric during campaigning because they know they don't actually need to do anything. They didn't even pass abortion-related legislation for 50 whole years, because they could use that division to reap votes every election cycle.
Source seems to be actually trying the iOS 18.2 beta. How certain is it that the Beta is actually representative of the release? Maybe it’s just global in the beta and will be EU only again in the final release?
Eh, but there will always be some level of detail that was not delegated. That's the bad faith side of Loper. It essentially says that every detail of every instance must be expressly included in the legislation. Which just isn't possible.

I initially agree

But, if all you do is write elixir wrappers around the zig function, to completely hide the foreign language functions, keeping both the wrapper and implementation in the same file, even if two different languages doesn't seem horrible, but again, keeping them in two file doesn't seem like a huge difference too

I think it's quite arguable that the causation is the other way around: by disrupting long distance trade in tin, the collapse caused the use of iron, even if in many ways at the time it was inferior to bronze.
I've done some assembly in C, and for big functions, yeah, I want it in its own file, but smaller things often make sense to embed. I'm not sure if I'd like my nif code embedded into my erl files (assuming this works for Erlang as well), but it could conceivably make the nasty bit of boilerplate around ERL_NIF_INIT in the NIF (which I have to do in C anyway) and exit(nif_library_not_loaded) in the erl go away, which would be nice.

It's certainly possible to get syntax highlighting on the embedded code, but you'll need to work with your syntax highlighter; it certainly helps if you're not the only person using it.

But then again, I worked without syntax highlighting for years, so I'm happy when it works, but when it doesn't, I'm ok with that too.
Heh, that used to be German and then Japanese cars.
>No, it says something about me, not them.

OK I totally see that now.

Speaking of red flags, your whole comment is a red flag to me, just like mentioning that common workflows are "red flags" lol.

>If you aren't using 'git annotate' weekly or daily then you are not qualified to comment on how merges should or shouldn't be done. "I don't use it" means you don't have an opinion. "... so you shouldn't use it" is telling your coworkers you don't give a shit.

More narcissistic garbage takes. There are many ways to work and if someone doesn't do it your favorite way then that doesn't mean they are reckless, incompetent, or whatever. If you told this to anyone I work with or have ever worked with in real life in the last 20 years, you'd get laughed at. I might know a lunatic who would argue with you in real life but even he might not be motivated enough to take the bait. He is a very junior-minded person as well, whose experience does not match his interests.

>Squashing before a PR fails Knuth's aphorism about code being meant to be read by humans and only incidentally by machines.

This is too reductive. You have to use common sense when squashing stuff. If you put stuff together that does not go together, then it gets harder to figure out what a changeset is supposed to do.

>If you don't like that it took you three tries to figure out an off by one error in your code, that's fine. But you don't have to destroy all other evidence of your other processes in order to cover up your brainfart.

There need be no evidence of "processes" in the end. I can see why you might want that if you're helping your coworkers figure something out. But once it's figured out then those changes should be reduced to modular changesets that each do a particular thing. Anything else will introduce pointless noise into the codebase. If you feel that some particular state of the code represents something significant, you can make a commit for that. But certainly 80% of the commits most people make are purely noise.
Show HN: Domainer Mixer Fall 2024 – A Virtual Event to Connect, Share and Grow
We're excited to share the new Domainer Mixer Fall 2024 launched today, an informal virtual event where domain name enthusiasts connect, share, and grow together. After 10 years in the domain industry, we’ve seen significant changes and shifts. This event is designed to explore those changes while bringing together domain professionals, entrepreneurs, and industry brands.

We’re sharing this with the HN community because we know many of you are involved in domains, digital assets, or entrepreneurship. We’d love to hear your thoughts on the state of the domain industry and gather any feedback on our event.

P.S.: If you're interested in attending, we’d be happy to provide a FREE coupon code for members of the HN community. Just let us know!
Yep, I had the wrong perspective and have been enlightened! More of a counter-culture, party, etc. thing. I was definitely coming at it from a car enthusiasts perspective.
You could've asked yourself "Do I understand the significance of Carthago delenda est in this context? Could I ask for clarification?"

And if you prefer to believe that if people don't buy into your hand-wavy, faux-erudite arguments, then it must be because they're simply too dumb to understand the intended import of Carthago delenda est -- then that may provide you with an additional layer of comfort.

I honestly don't think you understand the thesis or have the historical understanding to do so.

The precious irony here is that this very sentence is an overt instance of the second class on Paul's list of argument styles to avoid, in the very article you cite (and attempt to chide others for not having read) -- the venerable ad hominem attack. (The other sentence quoted above was essentially a variant of this attack, if in a slightly roundabout fashion).

Speaking of fancy latin phrases.
Well congrats on the op-ex savings I guess?
There's a lot of it. There's a "Digital Human Modeling" conference every year that publishes a summary of presentations as a ~600 page book.

Blogging and writing lots of white papers has become one of my favorite techniques for this in IT. Pretty much anytime something really interesting happens, I'll spend some time carefully writing up a detailed explanation. I often find myself surprised by my own findings when I re-read them months later.
>>No touchscreens, no fancy door handles, no cameras, etc.

We own a Volkswagen e-Up, it's exactly like this. We love it too, it's just such a great little car, you can easily get 150 miles out of its 32kWh battery and it fits everything, has no touchscreen, good old buttons for the climate controls and even proper analogue gauges for speed and battery level. I will own it until it falls apart.

>>I also think it would make a lot more sense to have an auxiliary diesel heating system.

I honestly doubt that anyone would like the "convenience" of having to fill up the tank for it with diesel every now and then.

>>and likely generate less carbon emissions

CO2 - yes. But these heaters(and devices like Webasto etc) are hugely polluting because unlike the exhaust from your engine their exhaust isn't filtered or treated in any way, all the bad stuff goes directly outside.

>>A gallon of diesel would last for months if it was just used for heating the cabin

No, it wouldn't - I own two cars with a webasto and they both use about 0.4L of fuel for hour of operation, it's not much but it's not insignificant.

Besides, this is a fixed problem - just use a heatpump instead of a resistive heater. A 500W heatpump will produce as much heat as a 2000W resistive heater.

Aren’t these fuel cells? Not gaseous hydrogen you combust?

They should be pretty high density from my googling, and they were a core shuttle technology.

“In common energy sources, the energy density (specific energy) is rough as follows: hydrogen fuel (142Mj/Kg) > natural gas (55Mj/Kg) > petrol (46Mj/Kg) > coal (30Mj/Kg) > lithium batteries (generally no more than 1.8Mj/Kg)”

Your grandmother didn't change; the world around her, the world she was brought up in, changed. She's not a nut simply because she refused to conform. She's a product of her environment just like you, and when she got older, her willingness to adapt to an ever-changing environment waned. It will happen to you, too.

We are not on a good way, we are far away from our goals and at the moment AI‘s is near the same as Bitcoin.

We do things fast and expensive that could be done slow but cheap.

The problem is we are running out of time.

If you want more energy you first build clean energy sources then you can pump up consumption not the other way around.

I hope this helps people to consider Swift 6 as a viable option for server-side development, since it offers many of the modern safety features of Rust, including simpler memory management through ARC, compared to Rust’s more complex ownership system and more predictable than Go's garbage collector.

I think I'd argue that's about seeking comfort rather than avoiding people. When public transport is unreliable and dirty, apartments are poorly insulated and offices so dysfunctional it's no surprise people avoid them.

Extraverts make up the majority and they aren't hiding from the rest of humanity.
Yeah, I think it’s human nature for modern conveniences to fade into the background and just become “part of life”. When people say “I’m going on the internet” what they’re really saying is: “I’m itching for a TikTok / YouTube / Social Media Doomscrolling fix”

You're absolutely right on that point. I am so frustrated at the massive vacuum left by our worthless federal legislative branch. It seems like "both sides" of the political aisle are feeling the same: Executive branch attempts to do something in an arguably commonsense way to solve a real problem, the guilty parties who caused the problem run to the courts for relief (usually on the grounds of lacking clear authority from Congress), courts agree and (often very explicitly) encourage Congress to pass a law if they think this authority ought to exist, and Congress resumes furiously fundraising and meeting with their donors.

Edit: I know in general it's the left who "likes to regulate things" but a relevant example on the right would include regulating things like immigration.

That's because the US wasn't designed to have unelected federal bureaucrats create laws for the entire country. Every state should make their own laws, and then those state's courts could determine if the law is legal or not.
> Hitler didn't post radical content on Facebook or Twitter or Reddit, he just spoke publicly about stuff.

That's what social media allows random people to do much more easily: speak publicly about stuff. Before that you'd have to build a reputation and following in meat space which takes a lot of time and effort. Now it's just a like and share button.

I'm sure Hitler would have totally loved using Twitter, Facebook and the like.

You would have to train the new model from scratch since it would be all new token embeddings with whatever character encoding scheme you come up with. It would probably make sense to train the vanilla gpt from scratch with the same total embeddings size as your control. I would start with https://github.com/karpathy/nanoGPT as a baseline since you can train a toy (GPT2 sized) llm in a couple days on an a100 which are pretty easy to come by.
Everyone says that, but there were plenty of insufferable morons before the internet. Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson basically made an entire career out of validating the most insufferable people out in America, and for the majority of their careers the internet wasn't involved at all.

I really don't think people of today are more insufferable than before the internet. We know about a lot more idiots now than we used to, but that's subtly different.
Oh I didn't realize they had one, thank you! I've joined.

The Internet has been around for decades, though, and your grandmother probably started using it long before 2016. I'm thinking something else might have happened around 2016... something or someone that could have emboldened hyper-racist nutters and encouraged them to voice their nuttery in public. Carrying that content way outside the audience of a 1997 home video. I can't really put my finger on what it might have been, though.

Doing this in the message board context: very low risk as you said. Don’t disagree at all. Downside risk: lots of downvotes. Who cares.

Remote Work and Fertility
It hardly tastes of anything in the first place!
We should be careful about statistics for "age at first marriage". Common flaws are to look only at "nobles" (who marry for political reasons), to look at the lowest recorded/permitted age as if it were typical, and to assume when menarche happens (which depends highly on nutrition).

But one way or another, polygyny must necessarily be linked with killing men. The birth ratio is practically fixed in the absence of sex-selective abortion.
I feel like this is all smoke and mirrors to redirect from the likelihood intentional silicon backdoors that are effectively undetectable. Without open silicon, there's no way to detect that -- say -- when registers r0-rN are set to values [A, ..., N] and a jump to address 0xCONSTANT occurs, additional access is granted to a monitor process.

Of course, this limits the potential attackers to 1) exactly one government (or N number of eyes) or 2) one company, but there's really no way that you can trust remote hardware.

This _does_ increase the trust that the VMs are safe from other attackers, but I guess this depends on your threat model.
