I agree, there are a lot of cases where they don't show the full prices. Especially in the recent years when they've been changing the consumption tax rapidly, and allowing shops to have some leeway. But online prices, almost everywhere, include tax. Even Shopify forces JP merchants to display them while selling in the area.

I've heard the normies increasingly complaining about the quality of search results from Google within the past few years.

Go on the street and ask some random person walking by which search engine is the best

Google can still be the best, while continuing to decline.
Not letting you disable it may be user-hostile, but it also helps Google product managers to inflate their KPIs, so it's impossible to say if it's bad or not.

>Critics warn these bunkers create a false perception that a nuclear war is survivable. They argue that people planning to live through an atomic blast aren’t focusing on the real and current dangers posed by nuclear threats, and the critical need to stop the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

... which those people would address how, exactly?

>Meanwhile, government disaster experts say bunkers aren’t necessary. A Federal Emergency Management Agency 100-page guidance on responding to a nuclear detonation focuses on having the public get inside and stay inside, ideally in a basement and away from outside walls for at least a day. Those existing spaces can provide protection from radioactive fallout, says FEMA.

Okay, so now we have some experts who think surviving would be hopeless, and others who think it wouldn't require any special preparation. They could both be wrong, but they can't both be right.
The annoying thing is that 95% of the time it’s not at all what I want, but 5% of the time it’s pretty good. But if I had the option to expand it or something, I’d probably never do that and miss out on the 5% of the time that it’s good.

That Unitree G1 [1] in the video starts at $16k, which surprised me. I’m guessing end effectors drive that price way up but it feels like we are maybe a decade away from useful household humanoid robots for the price of a cheap car, which would put it well within the means of many in the developed world.

Does anyone have any insight on how realistically far away the control and programming is from that reality? A bunch of very impressive robotic control model research has been posted on HN in the last two years but as an outsider it’s hard to evaluate just how close we are to doing away with folding clothes by general purpose humanoid robot.

We train them to predict words, but that doesn't mean they have to predict them in a naive statistical way. Imagine you gave a human a physics textbook and told them that in a month they have a test that consists of completing sentences from the book. Who do you think would do better: the one who tries to remember every sentence, or the one who understands the book's contents? In LLMs we "just" do back propagation and let the model figure out how to do the prediction, and larger models develop something that looks and feels like a degree of understanding and reasoning (incomplete as it may be).

Case in point, GPT4o's answer to the above question is:

"Inserting two gherkins in your nostrils will not enable you to fly. Flight, as we generally understand it, is achieved through specific principles of physics and engineering, such as those utilized by birds, airplanes, and other flying devices. These principles typically involve lift, thrust, weight, and drag. Gherkins, unfortunately, do not possess any properties that could facilitate flight in a human. If you're interested in flying, consider looking into aviation technology or learning to pilot an aircraft!"
My guess is approximate (average?) tax. I'm currently outside of Japan, by default Amazon shows me the price in Yen and says it can't deliver to me.

> If you search for a physical business, Google is amazing. If you search for anything physically around you, again, amazing. Maps? Find an online vendor for a certain product in your country? Google wins. This is what normal people use Google for. To find things in the real world.

Strangely, in my experience, searches like these are exactly what DuckDuckGo excels at. Whenever I set up a new PC and accidentally use Google (given it is the default search for Firefox/Google) I am always struck by how bad Google search is at finding the things I want. The first search I do is usually shocking enough to make me go into settings and flip the settings to DuckDuckGo -- and I redo the search and find what I want at number 1 of the DuckDuckGo results.

I suspect it is more a case of people sticking with what they know, not realizing there are better options out there. Google has a halo effect from what I can see -- even when they're not the best option out there people will still use their services. Another possibility is people find it easier to just use one company for everything so they'll use Google for search, mail, photos, drive, docs, etc as they all work well together and avoids having to go to different places for the various services Google provide under one roof.

But Google search is definitely not the most useful for normal people. It's just the default and works well enough. If people find what they want at number 10 in the results then that's probably good enough even if there is a better engine that has the best result at number 1.
Part of the argument seems to be the lack of deep, interesting content.

But is that content still being made? Dead Internet theory is a meme (or maybe even seriously believed?) for a reason - everything seems to be on a handful of increasingly algorithmically driven walled gardens.

I could start a blog, or scrawl on the "bathroom wall" of a comment box. Which will get me more views and interactions for the least amount of effort? Yes, there's a few more people on the internet, but not a lot more educated people. The internet started as shady dive bar, and how now turned into a Vegas Casino. It's more family friendly, but you're also far less likely to have an argument about philosophy with a slightly crazy person because they're now just playing the slot machines.

Who has time to write a blog post about how they do unit tests anymore?

I must be using it wrong then. 1 out of 5 times when I search for a particular place (with its full name) Google maps will make different suggestions even though the particular place am looking at exists there. Try looking up a hotel if you are in an area where Google has prices/monetization. You type the name of the hotel and it shows you every hotel out there with the prices.
I've been running Ergo for the past year for my friends/family chat. I went this route because of the ease of hosting, very low resource requirements and a protocol and codebase that I feel I can understand and debug if needed.

The v3 chathistory support and the always-on[1] multi-client[2] features paired with modern clients (like Goguma) go a long way at providing a modern chat environment. Most others on the server don't even know that they are using IRC.

The built-in websocket support is another key feature for me since it lets me to provide a web client just by serving some static files (I use Gamja for this).

So all the countries that legally require citizens to have bunkers and hardened rooms in good working order are all in on a scam? I'm not buying it. This seems more like a cope for the fact that the US has not invested in bunkers or encouraged it's citizens to build them via tax credits. If I could find a reputable company to build my underground home I would not hesitate. One can not build a more green and energy efficient home than going underground if done correctly and I would do it correctly. And no, not from Atlas shelters.
> have to parse everything, even for just a few values

That's true of protobufs as much as it is for json, except for skipping over large submessages.

> memory bottleneck

Interestingly, JSON, gzipped JSON, and protobufs are all core-bound parsing operations. The culprit is, mostly, a huge data dependency baked into the spec. You can unlock another multiplicative 10x-30x just with a better binary protocol.

> 5-10x is not uncommon

I think that's in line with what I said. You typically see 2x-10x, sometimes more (arrays of floats, when serialized using the faster of many equivalent protobuf wire encodings, are pathologically better for protos than gzipped JSON), sometimes less. They were aware of and worried about some sort of massive perf impact and choosing to avoid protos anyway for developer ergonomics, so I chimed in with some typical perf numbers. It's better (perf-wise) than writing a backend in Python, but you'll probably still be able to measure the impact in real dollars if you have 100k+ QPS.

I wouldn't say "extremely rare".

Mechanical failures, maintenance errors, ATC errors, bird strikes, incorrect weather forecasts, etc. are all very common accident causes that are not attributed to pilot error.

When everything is working as it should be. If it isn't, you want the pilot to understand what is not working and act on it.
well, books and book related stuff tend to propagate more through word of mouth than direct search or advertisement.
I had a similar experience: I built dragging and handle resize, then later added rotation via a bit of trigonometry. Each operation worked fine separately, but if you tried to rotate and then resize, unexpected things happened. I left the bug for years, thinking I needed to come back and just add a bit more trigonometry to get rotated resizing working. When I finally came back to it I spent quite a while hacking at it before realizing that matrices were a much better way to describe the solution.
The support is a little buggy on Windows too.

One issue I found recently was changing my GPU clearly changed the definition of my "device" in Windows and invalidated all my passkeys. But the passkeys are still there, the sites I access still try to request them, but Windows can't provide them, so it basically just errors out. Not found out how to clear this all out yet.

> If we extend it further with a fairly simple distributed mutex mechanism, we can now persist and share state across any service which can access the Redis instance!

I’m curious to hear more about the approach you took here. Does the first server to open the document hold the mutex, or do servers only hold the mutex when briefly while they persist data?

Protobufs have a massive data dependency baked into the wire format, turning parsing into an intensive core-bound problem.

Interestingly, they're not usually smaller than gzipped JSON either (the compression it has built-in is pretty rudimentary), so if you don't compress it and don't have a stellar network you might actually pay more for the total transfer+decode than gzipped JSON, despite usually being somewhat faster to parse.

The context was you asking what the OP meant by "internal" to Windows ("What does this mean?"), not what was technically possible.

In OS/2 it was a native, natural, advertised capability to run other versions of DOS, including file system access by including a supplied device driver.

In Windows, the supported, advertised, native method was to run the version booted from. While it be possible to hack together running under some other version of DOS, it isn't what was expected, or exposed in the UI.

I believe that's what the OP meant by "internal".
Part of the argument of the users I screenshotted or part of my argument?

My argument is simple: who in their right mind would spend their time, energy, and money creating content that various LLMs will quickly steal and repurpose?

I'm a contrarian and I understand many have vested interests in the AI bubble but the current approach we've all tolerated is a real danger for the future of content.

Content isn't just text, it includes videos, music, pictures, art in many shapes and forms and it cannot simply become a commodity or creators will be demotivated.

As a customer of Konfig, I am super bummed about this. I think we may even have been their first customer (referenced in the init commit). Dylan and Anh-Tuan solved a number of real problems for us, and they did it spectacularly. They essentially provided a one-stop-shop for generated SDKs and beautiful hosted docs/tutorials that would call our API and immediately allow users to start playing with real data. Prior to Konfig, we were hand-writing a hodgepodge of SDKs to wrap our API and using ReadMe to host the docs (which never quite worked interactively with our API due to request signing that we require on our API).

We're self-hosting the docs now thanks to Konfig open-sourcing it: https://docs.snaptrade.com/

Tons of respect for these guys and I wish they'd found a way to make it work.

Also, for anyone finding themselves in a similar situation as Konfig (a product that (some? most? all?) customers love, but revenue not scaling as needed), please consider charging more. We probably would have paid 2-3x what Konfig was charging us and more as we grow, but they never asked and never built in any usage-based cost scaling (like $X/month/SDK, $Y/month/demo, etc).

I was also thinking about extracting the MPQ on-disk e.g. "foo.mpq" -> ".foo.mpq.extracted/..." (which - to my understanding - would lead to a lot of deduplication even just with jdupes).
N.B. depending on the requirements with regards to read performance, you could design a FUSE filesystem that would transparently reconstruct the MPQ on-the-fly.

Of course, I guess all of this would be much slower than being able to use inherent btrfs features as the author of the post wishes, but at least it would be independent from btrfs :)
In one sentence: Design tokens are a standardized way of defining constants used in a design system.

If most developers haven't heard of them, it's because most developers don't create design systems. Even when you use a design system, the actual use of design tokens would likely be hidden.

Material Design uses them. https://m3.material.io/foundations/design-tokens/overview

Fluent UI uses them. https://fluent2.microsoft.design/design-tokens
This might turn into a debate of defining "simplest", but I think the ensemble/statistical interpretation is really the most minimal in terms of fancy ideas or concepts like "wavefunction collapse" or "multiverses". It doesn't need a wavefunction collapse nor does it need multiverses.
