I think you're conflating submodules with vendoring.
I know what you mean.

I understand why people would like it, but there are bugs in different places and it wastes more time for me having tabs when some very good workflows involve having numerous distinct instances of Notepad on different parts of the monitors instead.

In a way where it was absolutely perfect for the longest time.

It still works like that but combined with autosave you really have to check a lot to make sure the file is not already open in another instance or different tab lots of times.

Or your previous message(s) pops up every time you open Notepad days or weeks later.

Even though for like 40 years when you opened a new instance of Notepad, you could reliably expect a blank text window.

And when you double-click on a TXT file, you want that file to open without having some other text on some other tab that came from somewhere else you might not remember that well.

So it's like it has Recall already built in, the AI has not even been injected yet, and it autosaves everything you type now by default.

No resemblance to a keyboard logger or anything like that, nothing to see here, nope, au contraire.

I guess that's why they're going to call the next level Rewrite.

I can't wait, in just like the last year, for the first time ever it's already way less usable than in W9x, but what can you expect anyway?
Believe it or not, Farnsworth, (inventor of the principles making Television possible) had no intention of it being used as an advertising or propaganda tool when setting out to figure out the problem. That's very much a "what people decided to do with it" thing. Bored farmer figures out thing, industry does horrible things with it is a tale as old as time.

It was supposed to be for recording and playing back images. That was pretty much it. His original aspiration was for it to be employed in educational contexts to help make tge spread of visual information possible.

Now if you're talking TV Broadcasting as an industry, then you're absolutely correct. That was the business model settled on, but not without some foundational hmmm'ing, haww'ing and experimentation in coming up with business models in the radio broadcasting space. The history is in itself an interesting piece of work to dive into.

Those "actual" working products had little use until infrastructure was built around it to make it useful. The same could definitely be happening to LLMs, we'll just have to wait and see. It is just way too early to claim that they're a mimic of a product.

As products age they tend to use more memory. Add in space/time tradeoffs asking to use more. You either get stuck applying the brakes trying to keep the memory creep at bay, or you give in and jump to 2x the memory pool which will disappear too.

The old solution in on-prem was to populate machines with 2/3 to 3/4 of their max addressable memory and push back on the expensive upgrade as long as possible, or at least until memory prices came down for the most expensive modules. Then faster hard drives or new boxes are the next step.

There weren't good CAD tools to send the designs to the machine until recently. Early CAD tools mostly produced drawings and it was a separate step to manufacture from there.

The way inkjet and laser printers work is also quite different from the way a 3d printer works. The similarity is mostly in the gantry, so there was nontrivial innovation required here.

To some extent 3d printing is probably also a reaction to decreased access to domestic manufacturing. It doesn't make a lot of sense to produce most parts in plastic if you can get a cast or milled part quickly and cheaply.

It seems not enough people are using AI features and therefore it is being put everywhere so that people can't help but use AI features.

Instead of realising that people don't want these features and actively disable or avoid them, they've come to the conclusion that they're not being used because they're prominent enough, so they are being put everywhere so they cannot be missed.

We basically had the same scenario then. Trump should be easy to beat if the Dems put up anyone with charisma who seemed normal and likeable. Kamala didn’t have these things and many believe she didn’t deserve the nomination in the first place because of how it went down (no primaries). Dems also pandered to the far left way too much and weirded out many never trumpers and independents but that’s another issue entirely.

> Very obviously no one is suggesting that.

You're literally saying Trump is just as bad as Cheney because he said "I guess" we should invade Iraq in 2003.

Cheney actually invaded Iraq. And the Trump presidency was the most peaceful this century.

There's a difference between actions and words. Pretty much every argument against Trump is just a list of random stuff he's said.

Meanwhile Cheney actually murders x number of people and that's equivalent to Trump opening his mouth.

That's a factor, yes, but before I will grant that it is more (or less) advantageous, we would need to have a much longer conversation. (Right now, however, I'm not particularly interested in running experiments and drawing conclusions about how to best optimize YouTube content creation.)

Dealing with Linux can be a PITA. Once you get a base system up you still need to roll a bunch of our own stuff. Do you use System unit or systemd, etc. The driver api's are pretty unstable.

I make embedded linux device and I'm curious if QNX could make things easier, especially for long term stability.
It's a good article, well research but feels amateurish in some parts.

For example, he seems to be confused about energy vs. power, which units to use and what to they mean.
I didn’t think that was your point so I did misunderstand it. I agree this is a concern but I’m not sure how it’s totally avoided. 12% of high school seniors graduate at 19.

In any case, I’m probably not the right person to determine the cutoff criteria. Whatever the boundary, that’s going to be a rough time for those going through it.
Using go is a nice way to do that by default as it also directly uses syscalls (see the sys package)
Ask HN: Separating Two Glass Containers
Hi HN community! My friend has an interesting problem and I am hoping some engineering / hacking ingenuity can help. She has two glass containers stuck together, one inside the other, see here: https://ibb.co/5hwDR8P.

She has tried all kinds of things including: trying to separate them inside a water bath, greasing them, creating a temperature differential (ice on top, warm bath on the bottom), and even using WD-40. Nothing helped.

Any suggestions?
That's really interesting, thanks! I agree Goober Dash deserves to be successful.

It can also be an advantageous continuation strategy. Being acquired doesn't necessarily mean giving up on the project, or losing ownership in it's future.

If you have a startup with a product, that product's path to further growth (and therefore its current and future value), can be expanded many times in the context of a family of synergistic products.

You can attempt to partner with existing synergistic products and companies. This can accelerate growth, but is also risky. Those other companies will likely see an opportunity to create their own competing version or your product.

That leaves creating synergistic products yourself, which may be a long road. Or being acquired by a synergistic company.

Either way, you end up owning a piece of a family of synergistic products, worth more together than apart, and with higher growth and stability prospects.

Whether its better to build out or get acquired depends on the risk vs. reward of the current context. If creating synergistic products reflects your strengths, and is open market territory, that is a great position to be in.

But if creating synergistic products is going to turn into an uphill battle of replacing products already on the market, then getting acquired may be a much faster safer higher value generating path.
I've been using Codebuff for the last few weeks, and it's been really nice for working in my Elixir repo. And as someone who uses Neovim in the terminal instead of VS Code, it's nice to actually be able to have it live in the tmux split beside Neovim instead of having to switch to a different editor.

I have noticed some small oddities, like every now and then it will remove the existing contents of a module when adding a new function, but between a quick glance over the changes using the diff command and our standard CI suite, it's always pretty easy to catch and fix.
Oh, the democrats saw this the whole time, but I think the establishment democrats would rather have an R in the white house over Bernie because when it comes to policy and maintaining existing power structures, they're closer to a Republican than they are to Bernie.

I think he would have won too, because he would have gotten the poor, working class vote that Hillary and Kamala failed to get. He would have faced a hell of a battle getting any of his policies implemented. But damn, I wish we lived in that timeline. He's the only "democrat" candidate that people have actually been excited about since 2008 Obama.
It's up to you. Both companies are selling ads, and both companies know personalized ads sell better. Both are mediating their ad business with total control and arguing that it's unsafe to give competitors this info despite the fact that it's totally safe for them to collect it as a first-party. And the cherry on top, both Apple and Google are unfairly abusing their dominant position as platform-holders to collect data on their users solely for a marketing advantage.

Feel whichever way you want about it, but I cut Apple out of my life years ago when they made it clear service revenue was their goal. Windows became insufferable after Microsoft tried the same thing, and my time using iOS/MacOS intermittently makes me very glad I didn't invest in an equally-degraded experience.
I'm pretty sure that's the definition of "editing". If anything I feel that you're arguing not to call it a "creator".

The Reaction Trap: Are We Trading Substance for Dull Simplicity?
Yeah sorry about that I was ballparking it pretty good; your numbers are truer.

But if we are going to take it into this territory, we do need to break down those taxes a little bit to make a proper comparison. On the state tax side, 75% of the fee goes to the highway fund, so @400gal the actual road tax portion is $60. The remainder goes to education per the Texas constitution, but the EV surcharge does not fund education, so I do not feel it is fair to include this portion in the comparison.

The federal fuel tax applies to fuel used for electricity generation as well, and is passed to the consumer as a surcharge. I'd argue that EVs are already paying the same federal fuel tax when they are getting their electricity from taxable fuel sources. Even so, it's not the state's job to collect it, and Texas also doesn't pay any of the EV surcharges to the federal government. Because of this, I'd argue that the federal fuel tax is completely out of scope. If the federal government decides this is unbalanced and needs to be corrected, they can change their own tax code.

Finally, don't forget that the first year surcharge is $500. I amortized the total registration fees over 5 years as 500+200x4 = $260/yr.

So at 16k miles @30mpg = 400gal * 0.15/gal = $60 in state road taxes for an ICE car vs $260 for an EV, or stated another way the EV pays the equivalent road tax of driving an ICE car 56,000 miles per year.
I guess edge is just a buzzword, maybe it is like a metaphor; if you think of the internet as a sphere users reach to for content, something being on the edge means you don't have to reach that hard, it's right there on top. Or maybe it means close to the edge, close to end-user devices.

Serverless is definitely a misnomer, but it means that you don't 'own' the server your thing is running on, there are some restrictions and you can't run anything you could on an actual VPS or hardware box. So in a way the server is abstracted away. You just use resources, but those could be anywhere, running on any node of the edge network.

Its 1998 again!
The demos I see for these types of tools are always some toy project and doesn't reflect day to day work I do at all. Do you have any example PRs on larger more complex projects that have been written with codebuff and how much of that was human interactive?

The real problem I want someone to solve is helping me with the real niche/challenging portion of a PR, ex: new tiptap extension that can do notebook code eval, migrate legacy auth service off auth0, record and replay API GET requests and replay a % of them as unit tests, etc.

So many of these tools get stuck trying to help me "start" rather than help me "finish" or unblock the current problem I'm at.

Having ISDN whilst most of my friends were on 56k made me really appreciate it. It connected silently and almost instantly, ping times were low with virtually no jitter, it was a consistent 64k whilst also leaving the phone line available (a boon for parents and kids alike) or you could use both lines for 128k. Fond memories.

We have a couple of students working on bringing up the hardware in the Pimoroni Trilobot kit on QNX, but adding some ML to the camera for some kind of autonomous steering perhaps. It will be the perfect blend of intensive processing (camera+ML) with hardware control (short high-priority interrupts). (P.S. hope to open-source this when they are done, along with some blog posts or tutorials -- stay tuned.)

Separately, I think making a GPS-synced weather station would be a fun project. QNX is often used when tight timing is needed for telemetry, so using it to collect weather (and other) data, including from pulsing hardware like an anemometer, and then publishing it to an online service would be a lot of fun.

If software-only is more your style, there may or may not be someone in the office next to me porting some classic games right now! =)

I went to a 2016 NV caucus with my wife at a nearby elementary school. After an hour of waiting in line, we finally got inside and saw why it was taking so long. The volunteers were signing people in on ipads, and they had no idea how to use them. They were mostly older people and had trouble with the website. My wife and I literally took out our phones, copied the URL, and started signing people in with our personal phones. We processed people 4 to 1 compared to the actual volunteers. It's ridiculous how disorganized it was, and how unprepared the volunteers were. The ensuing chaos at the county and state conventions made me swear I wouldn't do anything with the NV Democratic Party again. I changed my registration and everything.

Then came Trump 2.0 and I swallowed my pride and decided I had to do something.

My wife and I volunteered to do outreach with the party. We showed up at a coffee shop and nobody was there. Eventually we saw someone who looked like they were volunteering too, and we asked if they were. They said yea and handed us some letters to sign saying like "Vote for Kamala because I am too". Again, really disorganized and disheartening to someone who actually wants to help. Who knows if those letters were even mailed.

If this is representative of the Democratic parties in other states, it's no wonder millions of people didn't show up to vote for Kamala.
In the US, the laws just say that if you do product placement, you have to disclose you're doing it. If you do that, then there's no restrictions on product placement.

I'm also not overly familiar with the scope of the law, so I don't know how much (or if) it applies to software of this sort.

> Neutron bombardment due to fusion makes hardware radioactive for less than 10 years

Very false. The current design target for fusion reactors is that the materials taken out of the reactor should become "low-level radioactive waste" after being stored for one hundred years.

It is acknowledged however that it is likely that a small fraction of the materials will not satisfy the criteria for "low-level radioactive waste" even after one thousand years.

For example it is extremely difficult to avoid using carbon in the reactor. Besides various kinds of steels used in reactor components there are now some proposals to replace the tungsten used in the plasma-facing surface with some carbides, for increased endurance. Carbon 14 remains radioactive for thousands of years.

There are many commonly used materials for which substitutes must be developed, e.g. new alloys, because otherwise they would produce radioactive isotopes with lifetimes of tens of thousands of years, e.g. there are efforts to develop some stainless steels with chromium and tungsten as a replacement for the normally used steels with chromium and molybdenum, which would generate long-lived radioactive waste.

See e.g. the UK governmental report:
