I think that is the most likely interpretation, but it doesn't seem like a reasonable interpretation of what was said literally in context. From a local v. foreigner perspective the roads are literally their roads. Locals do have an inferred and conferred ownership of public spaces in their capacity as the public. The foreigners don't own the streets, the streets are commons property to the locals.

I decided to treat it as a minor typo and read it as 'people would be able to ignore and excuse the increased prevalence of "foreigners" on their streets' instead. Ie, the foreigners aren't really foreigners, just citizens of non-aboriginal ethnicity.
When you say "everbody", you're referring to a modest percentage of people, and even for those people, it's only true some of the time.

The real world is full of people doing stuff that is not explained whatsoever by notions like increasing profits in account-books.

People do economically disastrous things like have dogs, go on holiday, they get their nails done twice a month, waste half their Sunday doing their Gran's hedges, and etc etc. They have babies, and often someone stays at home with the baby, losing boat loads of money in many cases if you calculate what they could earn if they worked full time and put the child into a cheap daycare.

Not to mention all the hours spent in amateur sports clubs, and ukulele groups, and pipe bands, and sometimes, they even run radio stations, and blogs, and maintain software, and make little robots, just for a laugh.

The notion of everyone going around calculating everything to maximise income all the time is a fairytale certain people tell themselves to convince themselves they're the real mavericks, the hard ones who don't flinch from reality. The motivation for the deception is clear, but unfortunately, it's patently false.
Yes, but it could perhaps be more profitable, if they cut spending on this aspect?
Very impressive congrats!
Abandoning lost causes can be one of the toughest but most freeing decisions in relationships. I once worked with a colleague who seemed completely resistant to collaboration. No matter how much I tried to engage or find common ground, they kept shutting down any attempt at teamwork. But one day, I realized I was investing so much energy into something that wasn’t going anywhere.
I wish you would have given some concrete examples as I was curious what experiments are possible with your code in OpenTTD.

There was only one I could find: "exploring the performance of trAIns". I looked at the "trAIns" link and cannot understand what it does, other than being GPL licensed.

It's all very cryptic, without any explanations. To me that stands for "if you don't know already, you need not apply". Too bad.

> You get a great language to develop in

Every single footgun from PHP but wrapped in a nice syntax so people don't understand they are in danger.

I'm deeply impressed by the Javascript community. What they have managed to create using a that language is amazing.

But please people, do yourself and everyone who ever has to touch your code base a favor and use TypeScript.
Yes, but that's 2 to 3 times slower than what happens if you let the code rot.

How working from home reshapes cities
We've actually also implemented Phoenix sync using Electric:
https://hexdocs.pm/electric_phoenix/Electric.Phoenix.html

So you can have local-first sync in a Phoenix app using Electric. And you can use Electric to sync data into a LiveView using Phoenix.Streams, which is a very natural fit.

We have a couple of example apps showing things in action:

No doubt, it's technically great that Pinecone trained their own embeddings model—but from a business/customer standpoint I can't help but ask _why?_. This is one of those "build it or buy it" cases where teams must decide to either integrate with an existing solution or build their own. I'm not sure I see the advantage (from an end user perspective) of using Pinecone's home-rolled embeddings model other than, say OpenAI's, especially given the cost factor: OpenAI embeddings costs really not much.

> Astra DB seems to just be a tutorial showing how to generate embeddings using another service.

The link I shared showed how a single request to Astra DB's data API has Astra DB automatically create embeddings behind the scenes, integrating with an embedding service the user chooses when they set their database up. Indeed embeddings are generated by another service and not in-house, but from an end-user perspective, they don't need to generate embeddings themeselves as was the prior art and coordinate requests between:

- get text
- generate embeddings
- take embeddings and send to DB

As of May when they announced Vectorize, one request did all that. I believe from an end-user experience, this is really analogous to what Weaviate and Pinecone are offering unless I'm missing something.
Congratulations on successfully crafting a computer game! I played the game briefly this morning and I found it to be quite fun. Glad to see a 9 year old experiencing the joy of computing!

Playing computer games (and then later programming with Logo and BASIC) is how I got introduced to computers. I too wanted to develop my own computer game when I was 8 year old. But unfortunately, I neither had access to enough time with computers nor did I have sufficient programming skills back then.

I did end up fulfilling my childhood dream of developing an invaders-like game 30 years later as an adult. I too chose to implement it using plain HTML and JavaScript. I have written more about it here: <https://github.com/susam/invaders#why>.

It is very heartwarming to see that we live in an era where computers are pervasive and a 9 year old can learn all this stuff from the World Wide Web and large language models, and then implement a fully functional computer game!
Reagan set the scene for this in the 70s with broad economic deregulation and crippling of anti trust enforcement. This established a narrative of the self-correcting nature of markets and the negative consequences of any government intervention or regulation.

Only recently in the Biden administration has this narrative met serious challenges, with for example the appointment of Lina Khan and a comeback for anti trust activity.

Worryingly, Trump looks set to rewind anti trust activity against mega corporations like Google, ontop of hiring mega corporation advocates into his cabinet, and likely firing Khan despite her incredible performance.
Is that really the case?

It appears to be a recent generational trend to openly flaunt one's ignorance...Admit you've never read the documentation but prefer to "learn on the job," criticizing Certifications, and having no patience for attending formal training.
Isn't that one of the basis of maths? Namely you choose graph theory or category theory and you can rebuilt the whole maths?

If yes, which one is the "simpler", category or graph?
> This shows that the poem quickly found an audience that was not familiar with all the references.

It think it's a bit of both. Dante moved in high circles, particularly after he was exiled; and as an intellectual at court, he was effectively tasked with being an entertainer to his masters (which he didn't like, but had to accept to survive). In that context, creating work that requires active engagement from the audience, basically quizzing them around historical and literary knowledge, would have been of great value - and of great fun. Imagine people chatting around a fireplace or a banquet table, and Dante reciting a small verse - challenging someone in the audience (particularly other intellectuals he'd be sharing favours with) to go "I know! He's talking about such and such!". And when it came to the then-contemporary popes and rulers, everyone would laugh at the satirical tones, like you would with a stand-up comedian delivering a joke about "the orange man".

Comic book folks might be familiar with "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" by Alan Moore. That follows a similar approach; most people will recognize enough of the main characters to follow the story, but very few will get them all - which is why third-party commentaries and companions exploring them, have been pretty popular.
> It is functionally equivalent to a person telling the mayor what you said.

I think the implication is that ubiquitous cameras and other surveillance technology would make it easier for the mayor to have you harassed until you leave town.
Are you trying to say with a straight face that a law introduced by a Republican and passed by the first Republican-controlled legislature in 40 years is "de-regulation under Bill Clinton"? And then, surprise, George Soros pops into the mix without any mention of Romney-connected Bain Capital owning part of iHeart/Clear Channel which is an order of magnitude bigger?

Seems intellectually disingenuous to me.
Totally understand the dislike for subscriptions. I did go that way because it makes it much likelier I'll be able to work on the app long-term (which I'd really like!).

Retcon's actually already available on Homebrew—someone kindly added it, unprompted!
Thank you, this is a mix of OCR and LLM, I was thinking if there might be a library to avoid using that.

A better approach will be using Textract as it maintains the flow, such as if you have a table going across multiple pages.

Btw, tesseract is not that good in getting accurate data from tables. Use it with caution especially in financial context.

I have made an open source tool to show missing data from tesseract and easy ocr

George Soros is jewish and holds some culturally progressive views, which makes him a prime target for the right's hate [1], but economically he is absolutely a neoliberalist, seeking global free trade.

Have you seen the domains Microsoft uses? Half the time I am not sure if they are genuine or not, it's actually crazy. Sometimes they use .com, other times .ms. Sometimes Microsoft is in the top-level other times it's in the second-level. Sometimes they have no subdomain, sometimes they have two. It's utterly inconsistent and it's insane to me how close some of them look to actual phishing domains...
I have yet to see a single case of any state management library actually improve state handling.

Lately I have started removing these libraries were possible and the maintainability has improved a lot.

I have interesting experience with IPv6.

I lived in Russia and used HE tunnel for IPv6 in my home network for several (10?) years. With endpoint in London.

Then I've moved to the Netherlands, and I'm privileged enough to take all my network equipment with me.

I setup same tunnel in the Netherlands. And now I'm in Russia again. I mean, all sites who support IPv6 and bother to detect country, think I'm in Russia. As result, I got lot of bans ("This site is configured to reject requests from your country"), additional CAPTCHAs, refused orders in internet shops ("Your delivery address is XXXX km from your IP address), etc.

I need to remove this tunnel and "order" the fresh one. It is so frustrating.
There's more technical detail here: https://www.pinecone.io/blog/integrated-inference/

> Is this announcement that pinecone is adding their own?

TLDR: they trained their own embeddings model and rely on Cohere for ranking. Pinecone (the database) uses this model automatically to generate and store embeddings.

> I assumed that a specific flavour of LLM was needed, an “embedding model” to generate the vectors.

You're mostly right, with one caveat: embeddings models aren't really LLMs in that they're not very large: they just map semantic meaning to numerical space.

> Is it better or worse than the models here: https://ollama.com/search?c=embedding For example?

This is the golden question. As far as I know, there is no appropriate benchmarking/eval data about this. I think the real value is the first-class integration between their model and their service.
>> whereas EU regulations assume they follow the law

That isn't generally true as the EU favors driver assist technologies such as automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and speed limiter features.
Confusingly, on FreeBSD this option is SO_REUSEPORT_LB; SO_REUSEPORT is something different. So I find myself writing

#if defined SO_REUSEPORT_LB
setsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEPORT_LB, &(int) { 1 }, sizeof(int));
#elif defined SO_REUSEPORT
setsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEPORT, &(int) { 1 }, sizeof(int));
#else
[do something to avoid reusing sockets]
#endif

when I want to use this feature.
no it's not worse than cars. I drive at night and you'd be lucky to even see a bicyclist amid those blinding LED's.
If it's so easy why isn't everyone in Europe doing this life hack?

Could it be that moving to a place with high salaries means that job market is more competitive with higher bar to entry, with more stress, and CoL and housing is proportionally higher so once you factor in housing, healthcare, childcare expenses etc you realize that unless you scored some FANG job that pays orders of magnitude more than the local median, you're more or less at the same wealth point as in the lower CoL locations?

Feels like the solution is to find the place when you can earn more than the median there and not just blindly move to the most expensive places in the world hoping that will make you rich.
> Resist the urge to build walls between people/teams/departments

Do you often have to deal with support staff reaching out directly to developers on Slack to investigate some problem – without going through "normal" process of creating a ticket that gets assigned? Or even asking for features.

Developers generally want to be helpful, but also small requests often turn out to be rabbit holes. And even in best case it distracts from work that was explicitly assigned and scheduled.

I noticed I experience a bit of anxiety every time I'm doing some work that came through backchannels. The way I try to alleviate is create the ticket myself, mention its source and assign it to myself. This way switching context is visible and I can tell myself that "if manager doesn't want me to spend time debugging this now, they can react".
It came from an art sale… you can go read an article about it in the news, in fact, and sure you may think it’s ridiculous but that’s just because you’re uncultured and don’t understand Fine Art. People are demonstrably willing to pay millions for bananas on walls.

Obviously it attracts some attention (we’re here talking about it), but a whole lot less than a wire transfer of $10MM out of the country which would trigger SARs at several levels.

When there is need to use bicycle lights I simply switch them on in constant light mode.

"Ideally CLI flags merged over top of environment variables merged over top of configuration files."

I used to wish for that too but I have changed my mind. I think in real world applications with many options it is preferable to not allow every option to be set in every way.

Environment variables shine for properties that vary per instances which share config files and for system properties (think $GOMAXPROCS).

Secrets should never go in the
command line nor the environment.

There is no one size fits all. Arguments, environment and config files have different pros and cons and should be used accordingly.

Misperception of the facial appearance that the opposite-sex desires
I do listen to local channels often when driving (not in USA). I think they have often very interesting personalities who are very interested in music and who present good material, I'm learning about new artists or people's backgrounds etc. Sometimes their style of speaking is quite is odd (maybe they were an alcoholic earlier) but that doesn't bother me so much, you get used to it after a minute. I'll take that any day over the hyper-excited people that fill the general channels with empty speech.
How many of these people didn't understand that anyone could see their videos?

It might be a bit difficult for the highly technical HN crowd to grasp how little many people understand technology. Not changing the title is already a big clue. Since it was a feature built-in to a native app, people might have thought their videos would not be public or only shared with friends, and lots of them might not even have understood what they were doing at all.
Maintaining a large typescript codebase with many developers is already a nightmare, I can't imagine what it would be like if intellisense was clueless about the parameters a given function takes.

The default 'height' of the Tesla Model Y headlights make it appear to be bright lights by default. I live in the DC metro area, and buses (who are typically folks that drive a lot) would constantly flash me to let me know they thought my brights were on.

You can go into the car's settings and lower the headlights, but because of where it is by default, it presents a dangerous situation for other cars. How many non-tech folks would know to even search for this option?

https://service.tesla.com/docs/Model3/ServiceManual/en-us/GU...
Here in the UK I can't say that we have the same issue - BUT we have far fewer SUVs and lights are regulated far more. You'll fail your yearly MOT (car roadworthiness test) if you have lights that are too bright or misaligned, and I have seen people pulled over in London for having non-standard/too bright lights.

We have a wattage maximum for headlights too. I am under the impression that roadworthiness test and regulations are very different in the states - is that the case?
They’re using plenty of homegrown stuff - like that new ballistic missile they used the other day.

The Shaheds are probably most useful not for advanced tech (they aren’t!) but for the ability to produce them while under global sanctions.

Such sanctions are new to Russia, but Iran had a decade or two to figure out how to evade them.
I wouldn't have described graph theory that way. But category theory seeks to formalise and generalise mathematics itself. Another popular branch of mathematics that does this is set theory, which you may have been thinking of rather than graph theory.

Set theory is generally taught before category theory at universities. "Simpler" is very subjective, but set theory is often seen as more intuitive because some of the concepts start getting taught much earlier in school.

No MMU.

A1000 has... something. The WORM (write once read many), RAM used for the kickstart, which is latched as read-only after the kickstart has been loaded from floppy by the bootstrap ROM.
Aurora does indeed use FDE (via LUKS). Firefox and other common applications are pre-installed (as Flatpaks) and get updated independently of the OS, without needing a reboot. There is an app store of sorts (called "Discover") which allows users to easily install/update apps - no sudo password needed - just like ChromeOS, minus the adware/spyware.

I got my folks to switch to Firefox decades ago (back in the IE 6 era), so they're comfortable with it and never had any issues with its password sync.

Wayland hasn't been a problem either. My folks don't use any fancy GPUs like nVidia (which seem to be the common cause of Linux display issues). And as I said, in case something does break, they can easily boot the previous to images right from the boot menu, no need to even press any secret keys or do a restore. My folks are also on the other side of the globe, so stability and support were my main considerations, and I liked the idea of being able to easily rollback to a previous update.

I agree with Gnome not being friendly, but don't include KDE with that - it uses the same, old-school desktop metaphor that old Windows versions used - which my folks were familiar with. Of course, this is a subjective thing, luckily my folks had no issues finding their way around. But it's not like they do any complicated computing stuff.

Yes the printer is a specific situation, but I mentioned it because I was surprised ChromeOS didn't detect it when Aurora had no issues. You'd think that ChromeOS, being based on Linux, would work fine as well... but clearly they're not alike.

My personal opinion is to skip dns64 in the transition path and instead rely on clat completely. The intersection of devices that support op108 but don't have clat is pretty small, so you are not really gaining much with dns64 imho.

It is noteworthy that there are many ways to accompish the sort of ipv4 service that nat64 does. I believe map-t/map-e and lw4o6 are the main contenders these days. In theory at least I don't see why you couldn't do clat style thing with those too. The main advantage of these newer technologies is that they allow service provider side to be stateless, whereas naive nat64 requires similar stateful connection tracking as traditional nat44 (=plain ipv4 nat).
