The original plan was killed by the ACCC. You are thinking of the Rod Sims ACCC "engineered" plan written by the big 4 telcos (expanding the network to 121 POIs, preventing NBN from competing against fibre backhaul providers, generally making it hell for small players to compete), that would deliver FTTH but not the capacity or competition to make it viable. And we would still be undertaking the physical roll out.

The LNP made the last mile worse by some metrics, but they vastly improved the economics. Its a testament to how bad their PR is that they have failed to capitalise on it politically.
In my experience Gemini Advanced is still so far behind ChatGPT and Claude. Recently it flat out refused to answer my fairly straightforward question by saying “I am just a large language model and cannot help you with that”. The conversation was totally benign but it flat out shit the bed so I canceled my subscription right then and there.
When I had a single ISP, I hated them for the downtime. I switched ISPs and also felt the same, for the same reason, of the new one. Now I have two ISPs, and because their respective occasional outages haven't overlapped, I'm generally fine with both, even though they've each continued to have outages. Not noticing outages has made all the difference.
I don't switch providers because thanks to the Liberal Party of Australia choosing copper phone lines instead of fibre for the NBN, no matter which provider I choose I'm stuck with 25mbps that doesn't work at all when it's raining.

Details don't matter much when no matter what that's the best you can ever get, enforced by law.
This is true.

I always say that the best code I write, is the code I don’t write.
Bryan touches on an important axes in the question of how to structure decentralized networks in describing sharded search as "too risky to build on today."

Designs that a team thinks will be able to scale are going to be different from the ones built in a fully satisfying decentralized way. It's the prototyping and experimental networks that can help pave the way for more decentralized systems to get built with the intention of scale.
Bluesky has been popular for like a month. I think it would be very weird to evaluate "clear preference" for Bluesky vs. Mastodon based on the fact one is kinda trendy to post about today.

In a lot of ways Mastodon has reached normal daily productivity while Bluesky is on the peak of inflated expectations. A lot of problems Mastodon has or has dealt with are problems Bluesky hasn't meaningfully had to deal with yet.

You can't really tell how much sugar there is in baked bread simply based on the amount added in a recipe.

Yeast ferment sugar, so depending on how much yeast you have, how active they are and the fermentation time, a small amount of sugar can easily be long gone by the time the bread comes out of the oven.

No it’s a terrible product that is embarrassingly bad compared to the competition. I ditched it after paying for a month of Gemini Advanced because it was so much worse other offerings.
I don't understand why AWS doesn't put more effort into Cognito without messing with pricing. It is such an effective loss-leader. If you're someone who will go past the free tiers for Cognito, the rest of your AWS spend will almost certainly be a lot more. Take advantage of that and stop measuring the Cognito team's success by their revenue and profitability. Usage alone should be the goal. You're still billed for all the lambda processing that happens on various Cognito hooks. You're still billed for all the API requests these Cognito users make.

The auth service space is so strange. Almost every vendor is ridiculously expensive for any B2C use-case. Cognito, with its free tier of 50k MAU, was one of the few relatively cheap options. Even the "open source core" offerings in the space are crazy if you use their hosted version. And their self-hosted versions inevitably end up requiring you to run Postgres, Redis cluster, a background job running task, etc. If you're not getting Cognito for cheap, you're better off just using libraries to roll your own auth service/module instead of going for any off the shelf auth SaaS or self-hosted solution.
The article suggests he was let go for "submitting numerous ethical complaints" but it is utterly unclear to me what these ethical complaints could have possibly been about, and the only source in this article is a starry-eyed protege. I am wondering if Brain was (perhaps unintentionally) abusing the complaint system as a way of adjudicating political disputes: "this person is stubborn and wrong" elevates to "this person is behaving unethically." My suspicion is that the numerous ethical complaints evidenced a pattern of unstable behavior.

I don't like speaking ill of the recently deceased. But I also don't like jumping into conspiracy theories based on platitudes about "the system," when there are more obvious explanations: his last email is a work of unhinged paranoia and resentment, not truth-telling in the face of oppression. It is obvious that Brain was mentally unwell in his last few hours; I wonder how long that was going on.

Show HN: I build and deployed AI Food Recipe Assistant quickly
I created an AI Foof Recipe Assistant using GPT 3.5, DALL E 3, etc. Building was quite fun and easy, but deploying AI applications can be challenging. Whether you’re a developer working on a side project or part of a team building the following big AI product, you need a reliable and easy way to get your app into production.

I remember that there was the potential of a Mac-OS/2 merger through Taligent and as someone who had a Mac on one desk and an OS/2 machine on the other I was really hoping this would happen.
What other providers?
Yup. This is standard in the US for most product ingredient listings I'd say.
One thing I like about the UK is the concept of regulated competition. The purpose is to ensure that there is always a competitive market place - so for instance in Internet technology, wholesale provider provides DSL layer 1/2 to multiple ISPs, who provide the PPPoA/E termination and value added services (e.g. email). There is often other technology available to the same addresses - cable, FTTP. The result is that for most addresses there is a choice of about 200 ISPs. The one I use (Andrews and Arnold) is expensive, but I have a /28 and a /48, I can run servers, the line is monitored once every second using their custom-build hardware, and I've had them ring me to say there is a fault on the line which will be cleared within half an hour. Also they implement the Shibboleet protocol. I pay for this, and for most consumers it would not be worthwhile - but that's the point. There is genuine competition with real differentiation between ISPs.

You tear them down by not providing the education they deserve. You tear them down by forcing them into classes with dumb kids. You tear them down by forcing them into classes with trouble maker kids.

Nobody is getting more or less attention and nobody is advocating for that.

I would help both kids equally by having two teachers. One who could help the smart kids and one who could help the less intelligent kid. This isn't an either or situation.

>Over the aeons they have almost certainly been part of some living creature.

There are neither enough aeons (10-20 billion years of universe), nor enough living creatures for that.

>There’s only a finite supply*

Finite supply doesn't mean all possible permutations have happenned. It's also not like an infinitely old universe (and even one like that wouldn't necessarily have permutations of molecule arrangements where thats statement is true).

Aren't you? What meal typically has more than 2 slices of bread? A sandwich is two. Breakfast meals where toast is used is typically 2 slices.

And, if we limit ourselves to the 50g of added sugar a day, I'd say 10% of that for a component of one meal is pretty reasonable.

Let’s say I have a set of newborn white rats and another of gray rats.

The gray rats get nutritious meals at periodic intervals, have access to their rat mamas, and are allowed to roam free in a large, comfortable and safe environment. As they grow, I give them intellectual challenges in exchange for food, incentivize them to exercise and continue giving them all nutrients they need.
The white rats, however, are kept isolated in small cages and are fed every two days with the scraps of the gray rats. I don’t give them intellectual challenges or the opportunity to properly exercise.

After a couple of years, I administer a test on them. The test is very similar to the intellectual challenges I was giving before to the gray rats.

To my surprise, the gray rats do a lot better than the white rats.

Obvious conclusion: Gray rats have higher IQ than white rats on average.

——

This is obviously an exaggeration, but I hope it helps people understand how similar things can and do happen in the real world with real humans.

It’s the environment they are raised in, their relationships, the incentives, the adult examples they encounter, their access to good and empathetic education, role models they can relate to and aspire towards.

Those, I assure you, are much better indicators of intelligence and education than their physical appearance or genetics.

According to wikipedia: "The true fatality rate may be lower because some cases with mild symptoms may not have been identified as H5N1".

Effectively, only the most extreme cases result in a visit to a medical professional where they figure out what it is and treat it. Otherwise for everyone else, they just get sick with what's seemingly a flu and recover without severe issues, and it isn't recorded as a H5N1 case.

Amazon just prices S3 and EC2 at not-insane rates because they shadow charge you for I/O and network traffic at 10x a competitive rate, things that people don't actually look at when evaluating cloud providers.
> If you try to mix it up in between you'll break it up [2] and end up with mush; with sugar mixed in.

Are you sure? Won't the sugar just dissolve into the water that is part of the yogurt? Or if a granule texture remained, just mix in sugar syrup?

I've definitely mixed honey into yogurt and put it in the fridge and it was fine the next day, no separation or anything. Why do you think you'd need a stabilizer?
OpenBSD also works great for such things.

It's a bit of a bizarre design; the JVM's execution model is not sufficiently different from any standard procedural execution semantics to justify special hardware support. It makes more sense to use a normal JIT/AOT compiler that's modular over the target ISA.

There's that one ARM instruction specifically for JavaScript float-to-i32 casts, but at least that's relatively narrowly scoped.
It’s been the way of society since pre-history. Finding a solution would probably bring about utopia.
>Sure, there is technically a process for reporting wrongdoing, but there's no process for reporting wrongdoing and keeping your job, and keeping your job is more important.

Up to a certain point. That answer didn't hold up well at the Nuremberg trials. After a point there's also dignity and morality, not just "keeping the job".
That's one of the best reports on mercury exposure I've read, but note I'm not in the toxicology business so I'm not across all the literature.

My interest comes from that I eat a lot of fish, in fact I'd consume it about 3:1 over other meats which means I'd likely be close to the weekly recommended limit for the intake of MeHg.

I've been meaning for a while now but next time I have a blood test I'll also ask the Dr to check my Hg levels. I'd make sense to know if one's over or within the recommended limit.

BTW, from my first dental appointment when a kid until about 15 years ago most of my fillings were amalgam. Without prompting I've since noticed that dentists aren't using amalgam anymore. That makes sense although I've noticed that the newer composite non-Hg fillings don't 'wear' as well as does amalgam.
> Well, let's say we can only spend the money on one group or the other.

That seems like a heavy assumption to me. The gifted kids are still being allocated to classes, so you can serve them better using the same resources you would anyway by just grouping them together.

I feel like leaving a bunch of misdirection would also risk potentially just leave real traces behind that in some ways.

At least in my mind leaving some false trails behind, when I run through scenarios, seems like it could leave actual trails / to the point of not being worth the extra risk.
My understanding of the feature, and correct me if I'm wrong, is that you are not granted write access based on a hash. You already have write access. You can use the hash to avoid overwriting someone else's data that was appended to the file in between you checking the file and writing to it. If you already have write access, the hash is irrelevant. As a bad actor, you can corrupt the data without it.

MD5 should not be used for anything security related. Granting write access based on an MD5 hash would be a huge no-no.

Natural Monopoly?

Theres a natural Pit and Pipe monopoly, but ISPs are hardly bound to it. The Pit and Pipe asset is a gift from the federal government to Telstra, who sold it to NBN for a steal. There are multiple fibre companies in a lot of our pits. PIPE, Vocus, Optus. They are prevented by legislation from diverting any of that asset towards residential users. The only exception where theres any kind of competition at all, was TPG taking NBN to court over apartment buildings, otherwise its illegal to overbuild NBN. The penalty is quite hefty too.

In fact NBN is being directed to overbuild other fibre providers. NBN says, we arent coming to this community. Community organises their own fibre. NBN says hey we actually do want to be in this market now. Now its a legal grey area as to whether the existing provider can continue their rollout.

Thats before we get into fixed wireless. I spent 99% of the NBN "debate" with a 300M residential fixed wireless service. Shady operators give it a bad name, but a well engineered wireless link is a godsend.

We had a functional market in this country. It was ULL. Legislation forced Telstra (through gritted teeth) to sell ULL copper instead of reselling their services. It lead to the largest sharpest increase in internet speeds in this country. The ULL model allows providers to provide their own hardware and upgrade it as demand requires. It removes a middle man from their logical networks. Why we trashed this model for an NBN cost recovery makes no sense. Singapore rents glass, it was a big undertaking and it has been extremely successful. Companies competing to be the first to roll out 5/10/100 gig services.

Any discussion in this area needs to acknowledge it is illegal for me to rent pit and run a fibre cable into a residential dwelling thats already serviced by the NBN. There's nothing natural about it.
Probably a recent Ryzen APU would do the trick, for smaller workloads that are supported by AMD. There are rumors of Nvidia entering the SOC design game though, so you might want to wait for that to manifest before making a decision. Just sayin'.
We couldn't pin this project on federated queries / decentralized indexes reaching scale & reliability, but that's what I'd encourage people to research. If somebody can make a breakthrough on it, they'd be able to introduce it as a variant AppView model on top of atproto.
I think the tone of the article was really strong and, to me, it seemed biased because they repeated multiple times that “the buyers only care about looks.”

A more in-depth article might point to the CyberLandr, and until I went 4x4 camping, camped out of a truck, I didn’t realize how awesome a CyberLandr might be, or how nice it is that “Mother Nature’s pin striping” is a solved problem for a stainless steel skin. Or how nice it would be to do all that without all the engine noise (I get accused of “not being a car person” simply because I like peace and quiet - but EVs are cars so why can’t we love those too?).

I think the article intentionally mischaracterizes the reasons for wanting a CyberTruck, and prescribes that “you must be a shallow person who doesn’t care about practicality or reliability.”

Well thank you for telling me who I am!

This is wrong, and how you end up with flying drone face recognizing skullpopping murderbots. "I just work here" is an abdication of adult responsibility to self, family, and society.

It's not some idealistic stance, it's the truth. It's how we ended up with concentration camps in the USA multiple times, and why many companies are gearing up to build more right now.

> My point is, the impression many people will unavoidably take away from "many recalls" is that the vehicle must me in the shop all the time, and it's a terrible customer experience.

I still think you're missing the point. The biggest problem from many recalls is not time spent in the shop; rather, the biggest problem from many recalls is many vehicle safety defects that are deemed worthy of a recall. In other words, many possible dangers from driving the vehicle. It's an indicator of poor design and quality assurance, which can also reduce the expected lifespan of the vehicle and slash its resale value.

> Remember that most readers don't even read past the headline.

Do we really need to care about these people?

I've been blogging for almost two decades now, and it's very hard to write a fully informative, fully accurate headline. There just aren't enough characters available, unless you write an absurdly long headline. I have no doubt that the news media experience the same problem. There's no good solution for willful ignorance.

I really have zero sympathy for how non-readers of articles ignorantly misinterpret headlines. You can't idiot-proof the news.
It's true. When I was in jail I also stayed because of the excellent wardens!
If successful and widely deployed they'll become iconic and part of the gestalt. And if the pattern holds I'll be dead before the replacement is put in place.
It’s more nuanced then that. People don’t want others pretending to be superior to them, if they are not actually that much better.

e.g. A literal supergenius can behave very erratically nearly every week of the year, 40 years straight, and still achieve notable successes in life, such as Kurt Godel

But a regular genius pretending to be a literal supergenius and trying to do the same, is well at best going to be perceived as a clown.

And it gets even more lopsided as you go down. Someone merely very smart pretending to be a literal genius is never going to earn anyone’s respect around the table.
