How would it be different if Amazon does it than the current company they're partnering with? It already sounds like there's a subscription structure, which I think implies that the partner company and not the city owns and runs the camera network?

> In 2023, Norfolk Police partnered with a company called Flock Safety, Inc. to install 172 automatic license plate reading cameras across town. The cameras were strategically placed to create what Norfolk Police Chief Mark Talbot referred to as a “nice curtain of technology,” which would make it “difficult to drive anywhere of any distance without running into a camera somewhere.”

> Unlike traditional traffic cameras—which capture an image only when they sense speeding or someone running a red light—Flock’s cameras capture images of every car driving by, which it retains for at least 30 days. Artificial intelligence then uses those images to create a “Vehicle Fingerprint” that enables any Flock subscriber to both track where that vehicle has gone and identify what other vehicles it has been seen nearby.

This makes it a little ambiguous whether the Flock subscription is for the specific added service of tracking a car around, or access to the whole system.
Taken to the logical extreme, you wouldn't buy anything because any promise made by a vendor is fake.

People used social proof of Tmobile's lifetime pricing for years. Then new management comes in, and they can renege on existing contracts?

That should be illegal unless you think contracts are BS too.
"The length is the problem, IPv6 format is more compact."

"IPv4 still can't access IPv6. IPv6 can't access IPv4."

I guess my point is that these statements represent choices made by humans. Leaving the decimal representation aside, I don't get why they made these choices. If every IPv4 address were a valid IPv6 address, then these statements wouldn't be true.
There's a lot of cores that do all of that.

Most cores are pipelined; it is RISC after all.

There are quite a few superscalar cores, even a c906 is superscalar.

The c910/c920 is an OoO, renaming core, with speculation.

What they're lacking is area and power. A ROB with six entries is not going to compete with a ROB of six hundred entries.
The recruiter emails I get these days mention "they've a collaborative environment". That's euphemism for being an office slave. No, thanks.
Fair. But I think we score a goal for each of those posts.

The vast majority of the data comes from users who did agree.

The rest of the data, the portion the public didn’t agree to, is gathered in exactly the way that every other business has ever been able to do it when you go in public.
This is RISC versus CISC again. ARM1's 25k transistors beat the CISCy Intel 80286's 134k transistors. Transistors had a cost at micrometer lithography sizes.

I am from country which has these standardized tests for all engineering, medicine, management and other competitive fields. The result is there is sprawling industry of "coaching institutes" which train kids for college admission exams. Those who are getting in through this system now are people whose parents can afford this increasingly expensive coaching.

So all mediocre kids with money have better chance than a brighter kid who couldn't afford coaching. Of course genius could still make it through this system but genius can also make it thru school grading system. There are enough programs to help out them.

Problem here is that barely above average students who wouldn't want to study all subjects per curriculum start to think of themselves as ignored geniuses crushed by the system.

Why is Apple so bad at marketing its TV shows?
If you’re claiming the guy who started companies that revolutionized two industries is “our generation’s greatest fraud” then you’re a lost cause.

He is prone to very unrealistic timelines and some hype, but at the end of the day he delivers so much that normal people (those without Elon Derangement Syndrome) are happy to look past that.

Some things not working out is inevitable if you have extreme ambitions.

Who fucking cares if the latency isn’t better than fiber, Starlink is providing broadband globally that is orders of magnitude better than previous satellite.

He was confidently dismissive of the entire laser link idea, not just the latency claim:

“Starlink can’t do any of that at the moment. Probably something to with the fact that the satellites are hundreds of kilometers apart and you’re trying to hit a tiny moving target from another moving target and then chaining those together”

That’s in fact exactly what they’re doing now. They just haven’t optimized it enough yet to reduce the total latency.

didn't say it was ok to arrest people protesting. Just that it's nothing comparable with non-democratic countries like china or russia. You can protest in front of the white house. Just don't try that in moscow or beijing.

I'm still using my dell M6800 and t430 for work, they are decade old laptops.Ubuntu for Os and it's been working great. It's an i7 system and i work on php projects and sometimes dabble in python and some ml projects. Never ever disaapaointed me.
It's been showing it's age when some ml projects throw that the current cuda library is not supported by the nvdia graphics that i currently have.

I buy and sell used laptops and computers parts as my side hustle.
There afew points that you should keep in mind, while buying used laptop.
1.Don't buy U variants or any other low power variants of the i7 processor.
2.Don't buy dual core i7 variants.
3.Try to buy 8th gen or above. Better battery life and performance ratio.
4.If you are not everyday carrying or portablity is a must , stay away from slim and designer ones, that do not have adequate cooling.
5.Check if the display is TN or an IPS panel. TN is a straight no no.
6.Do not buy the models that are targeted towards students and home users, buy something that for professional users. They are more durable and tend to last long. Example lenovo T-series, W-series, HP also has some, Dell M-series, Precision-series.
7.Check the number of output ports.
8.Physical condition of the laptop, if it is kept clean or not. The fans might be clogged, hinghes are loose, some keys might not be working. Some usb ports might not be working or loose, etc etc
9.Reapply thermal paste , even if it's running fine. Factory ones dry out quickly, so you will get the chance to clean up the fans as well
I am not the parent, but agree with them that SBF seems high-intelligence, low-wisdom (, and low street-smarts). Why do you think him unintelligent?
Ok I'll bite... What am I looking at?
Each user gets a token associated with them. On each request you first check if they are authenticated via your auth of choice. If so, you take the token associated with this auth from your database. If not, you take the token sent via cookie. If no token is available, you generate one and set it.

Then when a user "signs up" you do the same thing. If they sent a token via cookie, you associate this token with their auth in your database. If they somehow didn't have a token yet they were probably blocking cookies, but you can just generate a new one at that point.

If a user logs in again later while they already had a token you can choose to migrate all data from that token to their login token, so no data that was created prior to login gets lost.

The point is that there's essentially no difference between regular profiles and shadow profiles. Both are just profiles. And a profile can be authenticated with using its token, or using an associated auth provider.
Just what we need.

You may not like it but you need to be pretty smart to pull off what he did. I don't think too many people could do what he did even if they wanted to.

I think the same counts for a certain presidential candidate. A lot of people say he is just dumb but personally I think he has to be pretty intelligent to get to where he is.
> I was also similarly disappointed with the quality of Supabase’s auth offering considering all the praise I consistently see for Supabase on HN.

Around the time you were trying it out, there were some issues with Supabase clients not authenticating properly in SSR environments like Next.js or Remix. I think those have been solved with the introduction of the `@supabase/ssr` library, and continuing to use a middleware for refreshing the session upon each request. This latter option was always available, but wasn't in the example, so I think a lot of folks didn't implement the auth middleware and thus didn't ever refresh their stored access token.
I actually hope that we __don't__ get a law. What I hope is that cases like this succeed in getting the precedent and recognition that we already have a law that prohibits systematic data collection and use like this: the 4th Amendment.

Accepting the premise that the 4th Amendment doesn't apply here is to accept the very premise that allows governments to try this sort of thing. The courts making clear that the 4th Amendment should be interpreted broadly and that it doesn't matter how novel your surveillance/search methods are to that end is ultimately superior to playing legislative whack-a-mole.
> Rather, the service is no longer being offered.

And this is probably permitted in the fine print of the offer. They did not just make this up in their marketing department without at least some consideration of the ways they could escape from it.
The thinly veiled threats of switching to RISC-V are unfounded and a mere bluff. ARM can get Qualcomm to bend so easily, just wonder if they have the stomach and wallet to do so.

That's really weird, I have created 5+ production application as part of my consultancy, out of which 2 are $1M+ ARR now. I am curious, what are the issues you ran into while using Firebase auth?
Have you tried it? ;)

TLS on a 33 MHz m68030 is passable. Since the i80486 should be closer in performance to the m68040, negotiation could take place inside of the timeout that many servers would have. In some ways it would be a good rate limiter since you'd likely only want to allow a single connection at a time.

> what's at the root of this contradiction?

capitalism.

> what kind of change could incentivize different behavior?

worker ownership.

Sorry if that seems terse but really this is the root of the problem. Shareholder value is the end goal and shareholders are generally seeking immediate short term profits (as there's little cost to liquidating a share position and moving to a more profitable company/asset instead). If you want to eliminate this problem, you need the shareholders to be the workers. They need to control the company in a meaningful way because while shareholders generally only care about profits, your workers are going to care about continued employment and the stable maximization of wages and benefits (which as a long term target is only pursuable via real long term growth).
My understanding is that they're almost completely separate customer bases right now. Ozempic is (generally) only approved by insurance when used as a diabetic drug and off insurance, it's in the $1000/month range.

Weightloss folks are shit out of luck for insurance coverage, and so they go to compounding pharmacies and pay in the $200/month range. Forcing them to ~5 times the price will have a lot of folks unable or unwilling to do so and demand will drop.
Genuinely curious, since I've never heard of the app until this very moment - do you actually find that you save a noticeable amount on gas? I tend to notice that prices are incredibly similar from station to station in whatever general metro area I'm in, to the point where it almost doesn't make a difference which station I go to. Has it actually shown a benefit wrt driving out of your way as opposed to stopping at the most convenient spot on your commute?

But the universe can and does change. Something that is, in that most fundamental sense, does not also have potentiality. Anything that can change, that can be "other than it is," must have some potentiality un-actualized, must not fully "be," because there are some things it is not but could be (and, indeed, later will be).
> As a resident of Oakland, California, I find this kind of technology a decent middle-ground. I'd like to be able to catch a decent percentage of criminals so as to make crime statistically pointless.

That's not at all what's going to happen. I don't think we have reason to believe it's going to significantly reduce crime let alone make it "statistically pointless."

What it will do is, you know, conduct mass surveillance. This technology will support the policing doctrine that everybody is a criminal suspect. That means you are a criminal suspect, and the police will watch you, and if they want to, they'll stop or arrest you for something or other. You don't need to be dangerous to anyone, that's irrelevant. Just vulnerable. And this tech makes you more vulnerable.

Is that a price worth paying for a pipe dream of safety?
This is true, but it's coincidence. He didn't say they started out with the goal of a low-power processor. He's saying that they optimized for low-cost, and luckily that led to later success in low-power.
That's same everywhere. If your phone didn't support local equivalents of VISA, Google, Uber, iMessage, Amazon, ... it's just Mainland China equivalents of services and slightly different implementation of federated login/payment. People tends to assume that the set of brands they recognize is truly universal and global and others are additive, that's not the reality.

There are Chinese regional apk distribution sites for Chinese phones. You don't hear about those(I don't either) because there are near zero communication bandwidth across languages on this planet. That doesn't mean they don't exist.
is it not obvious that there must be some who will be? my experience has been that new grads are willing to try out new things - it may be that this particular AI won't get them anywhere and maybe they'll become disillusioned, but the next crop of graduates will embrace the next big thing, and if that turns out to make a huge difference, they will reap the rewards.
I wrote many. One I remember is writing a little piece of code that'd pick "optimal" starting positions in the board game The Settlers of Catan. Now by "optimal" I don't mean it was actually the absolute best position possible according to the complete rules of the game but the system would use a few heuristics to determine an optimal position according to simplified rules.

Then each "player" (well computer player really) would pick it's starting position in an optimal way according to these rules.

It's fun because the set up of the game begins like this (say there are three players):

p1 puts his first village and one road
p2 puts his first village and one road
p3 puts his two villages and two roads at once
p2 puts his last village and one road
p1 puts hist last village and one road

The idea being that p1 is so advantaged by the fact that he picked the best spot, that he then gets to put his second village only after the other players have put everything in place.

So it's cute from an game theory point of view to find the "optimal" (according to my rules at least). It's just recursion. Each player knows that the next player is going to play optimally too and they all pick their spot(s) accordingly after having evaluated all possible positions.

Just having fun.

One of the advantages of automation has traditionally been that it cuts out the indeterminacy and variability inherent in real people.
I’m also concerned about the implications of a small bank’s failure on big depositors; it highlights the fragility of our banking system. It’s alarming to think that even those with significant assets can feel the impact when a bank collapses.
The App Store flow is about abstract features so to me it doesn’t speak to value.

Eg it’s easy to know when something’s due, but really hard to know when to work on what —- what to do when. Saying “schedule easily” sort of buries the lede.

I wonder if a leading panel talking about the frustrating churn of planning ( implicitly trading the urgent against the important) would activate more people and also provide the right keywords for finding the app via search
Very important distinction! Apple recently added an “Early Reminder” feature that allows similar functionality which I am very grateful for.
Sure, but as someone with zero interest in crypto who has found ideas from Stoicism very useful to make my life better since long before cryptocurrencies existed- conflating an ancient philosophy followed by some of the greatest leaders in history with an obnoxious ponzi scheme fad seems absurd. I can understand how they could be associated if you were first introduced to Stoicism from hearing that cryptobros liked it, but otherwise didn't know much about it.

Personally, it helped me navigate some incredibly difficult times in my life with more dignity and strength than I otherwise would have had. There is a 2000 year history of many people I admire doing the same with these ideas- Viktor Frankl in Auschwitz, James Stockdale as a POW in Vietnam, etc.

To me because it requires hard, introspective, painful, and slow personal work that doesn't "pay off" with profits, attention, etc. it is sort of the polar opposite of shallow trends to get rich or "enlightened" fast and easy.

The Neal Stephenson thing, if anyone didn't get it was a joke about how his books often involve cryptography and cryptocurrency themes together with ancient characters that time travel and/or are immortal.
The obvious answer is tariffs.
Hey thanks for the shout-out. I work at WorkOS / AuthKit.

tl;dr - we know this feature is missing and we are working on it

Changing email address is of those simple sounding features that has a ton of complex edge-cases that are critically important to get right. The crux of it is how organization membership/invites and resource sharing typically works with unconfirmed email addresses in apps. What happens with the old email address? Can a different user claim it? Are you allowed to change your email address if your account comes from SAML/SCIM? If you get this behavior wrong, it will lead to inconsistencies that can even cause security vulnerabilities.

Solving this for thousands of different types of apps of course makes the problem significantly more complex. It turns out different developers actually want slightly different behavior, so we need AuthKit to be customizable to accommodate this. More than anything, want to avoid changing these APIs after launching them (even in beta) so there isn't developer thrash. We are working to make sure the solution is as complete as possible and that's taking longer than I would hope.

In the meantime we have some workarounds. e.g. popular apps like Cursor are built on AuthKit and work great.

Anyone can send me an email if you want to chat about this. We're also hiring if you want to work on it. :) mg@workos.com

GCC does this match.pd. Here's the add_zero example, I think:

/* Simplifications of operations with one constant operand and
simplifications to constants or single values. */

(for op (plus pointer_plus minus bit_ior bit_xor)
(simplify
(op @0 integer_zerop)
(non_lvalue @0)))

The floating point case can be more complicated because of signed zeros and signaling NaNs, see fold_real_zero_addition_p.
No need to be flippant. I can read your comment. That's in fact why I asked a question, it wasn't clear how "the physics of infrared-absorption of CO2" being interesting to you led to the idea that "Maybe climate change is not a political problem".

It's a farcical "review" of Haribo Sugar-Free Gummy Bears.

At some point, it was determined that the sweetener (or something) in these, caused ... adverse ... reactions, in some folks.

If you look at all the reviews for that product, you will see many more, but this was the prize-winner.

Actually, I suspect that the ratings went to a different (sugared) product, or that Amazon moved the products around, so the ratings applied to something different.

The sugar-free variety was the problematic one.
