Efficiency gains only lead to lower prices if they are bigger than wage increases. And those are driven by efficiency gains of the rest of the economy. Sure you can gain here and there some wins, but in the end construction is still a very labor-intensive job.
Your windows likely would still ice up today, except they are double pane with argon or another gas inbetween the panes so they are comparatively insanely well insulated.

For anyone regularly above the new 1TB limits, or using close to 20TB already on these services - what kinds of use cases are these?

If it was a basic, or private CDN, for example, the lag time might be pretty negligible to stream out of EU for the extra bandwidth.
A correction won't occur because there is a housing shortage of between 3-8M units, depending on who you ask. There is not enough labor to build more units at any reasonable rate, so it'll be a slow burn as the system reaches equilibrium over time (new housing comes into the market when owners must sell, demand destruction due to pricing). Due to demographics, a lot more housing could be satisfied by smaller units accounting for reduced forward looking family formation, but the challenge remains in sourcing labor to build these units.

With regards to the labor market, due to structural demographics and labor shortages, it is highly unlikely in my opinion that the job market weakens to the point where housing experiences a crisis from a rapid, sustained increase in homeowners who cannot afford their mortgage payments.

Being cloud-agnostic is highly valuable. It's also possible to make determinations on where your needs are served best pro-actively, independent of service plan like this.
As much as I dislike Nazis I'm going to have to disagree, there were Germans who were not Nazis in all walks of life including the military, and even every member of the Nazi party was not necessarily bad - Oskar Schindler was, after all, a member of the Nazi party.

>Nobody saw all of that and said “well, I don’t want to dodge a draft...

Nobody saw all of that and said, shit if I dodge the draft they may give me the death penalty, no wait I'm wrong - that's exactly what they said.

You also do not seem to have any particular dividing line between say, soldiers who were underage (later years of war) or actual adults?

This article on American slavery seems to pertain here too https://medium.com/luminasticity/what-makes-you-think-you-wo... - what makes you think you would have been better - not you now, but a you born in Germany during the great Depression, came of age as World War II started, drafted into the Army but because of your character you would be able to stand against your society, your friends, the law and say no, I won't go. I'm not saying that's impossible, but it is rare.

On what grounds of your character do you think you would be better than most of the population at that time? What great wrong have you opposed to your detriment and personal danger?

Again - it may be that you would be better than almost everybody else at the time. But it seems more people think they would be than seems statistically possible, based on nothing other than being born "now" and knowing it is wrong "now", I would like some sterner examples of character to back up the moral self-regard.
Nope. If you have the means you will be ejected from the hospital into the private system until you do not.
It might be worth noting that this, including the harder version the op encountered, are not the hardest captchas that 4chan can serve. There is a still harder version which is sent to less trustworthy IPs. I imagine it would still be tractably solved with computer vision. This in part misses the point though, since 4chan has been continuously altering their captcha since it released, making it difficult to create a permanent solution that won't be broken down the road.
And why reactors that use nitride fuels use fuel made with the isotope nitrogen-15.

The front runner steel for use in fusion reactors, EUROFER-97, contains a necessary small amount of nitrogen. This is enough under some nations' rules to render it into intermediate level radioactive waste after use, due to the carbon-14 content.
This is obviously false, we have hanged or imprisoned Nazis for committing war crimes and they never signed up to any treaty about war crimes.

Also ICC has issues a warrant for arrest of Putin, and he never signed up to ICC either.

Can’t have it both ways
Death is a well tracked statistic and a severe and fairly distinct outcome. Other statistics might not be as available or accurate.

Similarly the murder rate is a more accurate than other crime rates. Burglaries, muggings and assaults are often not reported to police whereas violent deaths almost always are.
Show HN: A Wild Version of Product Hunt for Unborn Products
This is a wild experiment, and I’d love to hear your thoughts! I started wondering—can you launch a product without actually having one and still gather feedback?

So, I created this platform where you can generate a product idea just by using a prompt. A community of like-minded creators and makers will provide feedback, and who knows—you might even find collaborators to bring it to life.

Plus, you can explore other people’s bold ideas and get inspired!
Even deposit liabilities matched by deposit assets in other banks are essentially inter-bank loans. That is, deposits=loans in all cases.
Well there are other people working on GIMP. Perhaps someone should look into what they've been doing for the past 20 years. It seems fairly unlikely to me that they didn't have time to do this, so there must be some other cause to the problem which it might be possible to address. And if the problem has already been solved, it might be good to know how that happened to avoid regressing back to the old state. I think it's productive to try and diagnose the cause of issues like this.
So you uninstalled them and FedExed them to the company along with a bill for the deinstallation work, right?
Even that may not be legal, at least in the US, if there's any copy protection at all. Audio CDs probably aren't copy protected, but any commercial DVD would be. So the mere act of breaking the CSS protection is illegal, even for personal home use. The RIAA spent a lot of time and money enforcing that.

Outside of the US, saner jurisdictions may prevail.
He explained that on Lex Fridman's podcast.

Neither X nor AI is particularly relevant to the average person, British or not, unless they're terminally online and/or the kind of person to write unhinged nonsense on LinkedIn.

Sure quite a few people might use ChatGPT or whatever sometimes, but they use Excel too and they're probably not especially "interested" in that either.
Appropriate response by 4Chan to this: simplify the human work given that anyway it's simple to solve via NNs. We are at a point where designing very hard captchas has high probabilities to increase the human annoyance without decreasing the machine solvability.
Disagree with facts all you want. I don’t care. Neither do the facts.

> After the death of President Paul von Hindenburg on 2 August 1934, Adolf Hitler assumed the office of President of Germany, and thus became commander in chief. In February 1934, the Defence Minister Werner von Blomberg, acting on his own initiative, had all of the Jews serving in the Reichswehr given an automatic and immediate dishonorable discharge.[33] Again, on his own initiative Blomberg had the armed forces adopt Nazi symbols into their uniforms in May 1934.[34] In August of the same year, on Blomberg's initiative and that of the Ministeramt chief General Walther von Reichenau, the entire military took the Hitler oath, an oath of personal loyalty to Hitler.

The German army adopted Nazi symbols and swore an oath to hitler.
Honestly, I got no idea how to make this business profitable...maybe just for fun
Why bimodal? Houses are being built every year. So maybe houses built in 2023 have appreciated 1% more than in 2022, and those have appreciated 1% more than 2021, and so on, leading to a smooth distribution.
This looks interesting - thank you!
The other problem is mechanical abrasion of the pebbles, creating radioactive dust.

One of Germany's PBRs had to filled with concrete after it was defueled, they couldn't decontaminate it enough to dismantle it.
In places like Lisbon and Milan, the rich live in the center and the young folks live on the outskirts. The outskirts then become trendy and cool and filled with bars and restaurants and cafes (can also look at Brooklyn, and now we are seeing a second Harlem Renaissance as well). Eventually the rich realize this and move to that place, and then the young people move again. But no matter what, the young people always end up living in the most desirable area because they commune with each other and create a desirable community in that place; meanwhile retired wealthy people are inherently uncool and consume more than they contribute.

So this was a gps tracker that was installed by a fleet and never removed. The larger issue is that most car companies in the US are reselling your data on newish vehicles (2016+) anyway. I am still amazed that this is not a larger issue.
> The alternative is to never change your view

No, I would say the alternative is to listen to and evaluate arguments and base your views on what you find to be convincing. The problem with the "I don't care until it happens to me" mindset is that they often flatly refuse to consider arguments until those arguments affect them personally; this isn't open-mindedness but rather closed-mindedness paired with a deeply self-centered world view.
I worked for an EHR company in the mental health space that as recent as 2020 was still selling their FileMaker-driven EHR, mostly to psychiatrists.
Show HN: dollar - jQuery but using real DOM APIs
What are the limitations on which LLMs (specific transformer variants etc) llama.cpp can run? Does it require the input mode/weights to be in some self-describing format like ONNX that support different model architectures as long as they are built out of specific module/layer types, or does it more narrowly only support transformer models parameterized by depth, width, etc?
I think the common case is for medical bills to drain retirement savings and home equity.
Signals are indeed a nightmare. Your example of adding tons of syscalls to make up for lack of safety shows that you understand that to be true.

And no, creating threads to solve this fringe problem in a spin loop with a sleep is not what I'd call "smart". It's unnecessary complexity and in most cases, totally wasted work.
Basel III also specifies liquidity requirements, which basically means banks need to hold sufficient loan assets in the government or central bank (generally bonds or reserves respectively), which act as a backstop if other banks stop lending to them (i.e. stop accepting deposit transfers without also being given an equivalent asset).
Ok, so as long as the user itself, or someone else on their behalf, makes 100% copy and store it locally at the user its ok as I read it?

Then next step is that the user can put all those GB on their own Dropbox (not shared).
But what Dropbox can do is to do hash-check of the files and only keep one file of all those hundres of compies.
Synced to cloud.

Still only the users copy and they can access it at home, just at a fraction of the cost for storing the copy.
I may be biased, having built a career in game dev, but I would love to see people developing games using a REPL. Many games these days use Lua or similar for scripting logic, since it doesn't need to be written in C++, it can change at runtime, and it's reasonably fast. jank is all of those things, too! I think, if we can get jank into Unreal Engine, Unity, Godot, etc so that people can use their existing tool set, write functional code, and use interactive programming, it could be a game changer for game dev.

Another great use case, I think, is desktop GUI dev. Outside of Humble UI, which is still very new, Clojure's GUI story has been quite bad. The native world has all sorts of GUI options though and jank will be introducing them to Clojurists.

I think jank will be a good option for anyone who wants to use certain native libraries along with their Clojure programming. Jack Rusher, for instance, has said there are native graphics libs he'd love to use and jank is a promising way to do that.

Finally, I aim to provide a cargo-like experience (if you're familiar with Rust) for jank. This should make building native apps easy. As I alluded to in my post, building C and C++ apps is a pretty terrible experience. If jank can make that twice as easy, for example, it could be that native devs end up preferring it as their project baseline. Since jank allows for arbitrary C++ to be included alongside the jank sources, and required as though it's a Clojure namespace, it actually ends up being a pretty sane way to write programs which involve a lot of C++.

With all of that said, I don't imagine I'll be working on anything other thank jank for quite some time. I think of these mainly as things I'm excited to see others do. :)
NPM left-pad incident (2016)
The US M2 in 1950 was <$300 billion and in 2024 was >$20,500 billion (70x increase). The article is using an inflation estimate of ~13x. The author doesn't give an average but the top 3 states by population (California, Texas, Florida) saw increases of 65x, 39x and 44x respectively.

I think it is more likely that house prices have slightly decreased in real terms and they are tracking closer to the M2 as houses are assets not consumables. This gels with home ownership [0] which is generally stable or higher than usual, it doesn't look like people are actually struggling to acquire homes all that much. Especially since I expect household size is shrinking.

Most of the pain people are feeling is because of the insanity leading up to and flowing from the '07 crisis if the home ownership rates are good evidence.

Honestly yes. Imagine the cool stuff we could have had if that money was put to good use.
Our relatively complex multi module Gradle takes 30s just to configure. That rarely happens though as things are usually coming from a cache.
Thanks, that makes no sense to me :)

But I do recall having had inductance issues with high frequency transfers to an atmega.

I have no idea how a capacitor would help. Sounds like it would increase a signal delay (tiny one perhaps).

But definitely interesting, I'll need to learn about this if/when I dive further into electronics.
How is this different than antirez's "kilo" text editor?
I meant, I think it's interesting. Also, if you got enough makers, you may use some business model like Alibaba to get it profitable where you connect creators and makers, and based on your home page, you might be on a right track.

No matter how other says, I like this idea
It just makes them larger. And it makes the building containing them larger. And this makes them more expensive.

NuScale's reactor was originally motivated by the desire to make it safer by using natural convection. But it ends up requiring 1/3rd more labor hours to build a NPP using their reactors than it does to build a conventional large reactor power plant.
That might get you pretty far in court, actually. You'd have to be pretty close in terms of the sequence of events, character names, etc. Especially considering how many Disney movies are based on pre-existing stories, if you were, to, say, make a movie featuring talking animals that more or less followed the plot of Hamlet, you would have a decent chance of prevailing in court, given the resources to fight their army of lawyers.
> API isn't free.

It never has been free, but they string along developers for as long as it's convenient and then turn against them. It's a pretty obvious pattern, yet devs fall for it every time.
The car belongs to the individual named Koen Van Hove (as stated in the blog). He holds GDPR rights to any location data that gets sent out.

Before that, if the system allowed for any correlation of location data to who was driving at that point, the exact same rights apply too for each involved driver.

Only if the data controller (the entity who made the choice to put a gps tracker on the car) took specific steps to ensure the location data could not be correlated to an individual (and can prove those steps were taken), is the data safe from GDPR.
> Ofcom measured X's adult reach

I wonder if the same trend is happening for younger age groups as well. I was surprised at my two nephews scrolling X yesterday reading memes after dinner. They're 14 and 16 and I guess deeply in the "gamers" culture? They shared some of them with me and I wasn't into the edge-lord stuff, but they insist that it's just ironic usage.

Much like every generation, I'm likely just not hip enough to understand the youth.
I've had to deal with Elm alone (the original devs had left, leaving next to no docs, because who needs docs with such a beautiful language I guess).

Thankfully I've been able to scramble some syntax highlighting support and reverse engineer how to start and run it, and after a while it actually kind of makes sense.

But I am an engineer, not an artist, and elm code will not survive me in the code base if I can avoid it (unless there are teams of Elm programmers at a place).

Elm might remove classes of bugs, but when there is not a single developer except me who manages to wrestle with it, though luck. TypeScript also removes entire classes of bugs, and it does so while being well documented and easy to understand for devs from other mainstream languages so the other devs won't come running my way everytime they have to fix something written in it.
What does any of that have to do with a car being electric?
There's an important caveat, though. The software you're working with needs to support Metal/MPS, or you'll end up using the CPU instead of the GPU. For example, as of a few weeks ago, PyTorch still didn't support nested tensors on Metal. Probably not a deal-breaker for a lot of folks, but important to figure out before one spends thousands on hardware.
https://bricksworld.eu/gb/46-asml-building-sets

There seems to be a model of the ASML TWINSCAN NXE3400C which shows the inner workings, but doesn't show on the ASML site. Would be neat if someone could track down the build instructions.

There is another set available on their site.
I will say though we shouldn't underestimate habitual inertia in all things. My dad will probably watch Cable news till he dies. There's arguably far more interesting and entertaining things on the internet, that i have showed him to access and explore on his laptop, that he uses frequently. But his main source of news appears to be Cable still, and it doesn't seem like it's gonna change.

Then there was the great culling of newspapers and magazines. It was probably the last thing longer than a paragraph that my dad actually read consistently. They mostly went online, stopped being delivered and he was forced off of the reading experience. Sure, you can seek things like that out but it was serendipitous, they got less funding, raises prices, fox continued to foxify, i don't know that he's really read anything since! I, myself, am trying with some difficulty to begin reading more. I need the concentration back
Sankaet is full of shit.
The percent efficiency gain in labor when we moved from hammer & nail framing to nail gun framing significantly outpaced the percent wage increase framers experienced.

But yes, absolutely, you are right that there are many variables at play. Which is what my original post, and the person I replied to, were trying to convey.
I don’t know. When I look at news from before, there never was investigative journalism. It was all opinion swaying editos, until alternate voices voiced their counternarratives. It’s just not in newspapers because they are too politically biased to produce the two sides of stories that we’ve always asked them to do. It’s on other media.

But investigative journalism has not disappeared. If anything, it has grown.
I imagine another volunteer would come along, just like I did. That's the nature of an open source community project. Since I started, I've seen more developers join and work on their niche (building pipelines, text tool, plug-ins, etc).

I know that one of the behind-the-scenes things that Jehan (the maintainer) has been working on is establishing a foundation in partnership with GNOME. This will allow for easier methods of accepting donations, and developer grants to fund more sustained developer work. That obviously takes away from his coding time (and he's a much, much better programmer than I am!), but long term it will be very beneficial. Part of the GIMP 3.0 delay is due to those kinds of set-up work, where it's not immediately visible but will speed up future development.

For the shape tool, I think it'll be fairly quick once vector layers are implemented. At a high level, we'd just need to have some predefined vector layer shapes that users could manipulate. The functionality is there (one example: https://fosstodon.org/@CmykStudent/112063520232390856), the UI would be the sticking point.
>If the name was changed to something with less of an ick factor, contributors would double.

No they wouldn't. Most users of free and open source software don't contribute anything, regardless of the name or critical nature of the software they use, much less enough for developers to take a full time income for their work. And most users of GIMP couldn't care less about the name either way.
Structured Generation with SmolLM2 running in browser and WebGPU
In the US, downloading a copyrighted work is infringement. It doesn't matter whether you own any additional copies of the work already. Fair use doesn't care about that.

Additionally, if you're torrenting, you're probably also uploading (helping to seed) the file, which is redistribution.

Nothing legal about it under current law. That said, just use an overseas seedbox instead of your home IP and you'll be fine. A lot faster too, since they have fat pipes.
