I've never read the book, so perhaps I'm missing the point, but -- surely then the Guild points out they've always known where the Patrician lives and where his wife had her hair done and so forth? And the Patrician says, ahem quite right what was I thinking? We'll maintain what we agreed.

I mean, in US urban areas back in its heyday, everyone knew who the mafia were. But that didn't prevent them from doing their mafia thing.
How do you know that Xi is not criminal ? His decisions "affected" (read: killed or thrown in jail) thousands or tens of thousands people (more ?).
I was excited to learn the new word "eniminable", but I think you meant "inimitable", OP.
I don’t know what control education means.

LLMs are a tool like a calculator or Wikipedia. Kids will use them whether you like it or not. It’s important to guide and mentor them to use them productively.

That said, I think generally 6-7th grade is where that starts happening. Maybe in the context of coding something like CodeLlama is a good enhancement.
I do a lot in amateur rocketry and took the fusion360 route. One thing that’s nice about it is its popularity. Whenever I have questions most of the other people in my hobby are ready with answers or guidance.

We’re lucky to have fiber, but we pay $60 for 100 mbps.
(Edited to correct cost of fiber as part of telecom bill.)
No surprise. The features they released aren't very helpful.

What is truly helpful is cloud-based foundational models like GPT4o, which a phone is not powerful enough to run locally and Apple does not have a good enough cloud model for.

However, over time, I think LLMs at the OS level will be very useful. It's the ultimate agentic AI platform.
Gerrymandering is a red herring because it cancels out. For example, this year democrats won a larger share of house seats than their share of the popular vote. The alternatives are worse, having maps drawn by unelected and unaccountable redistricting commissions: https://www.propublica.org/article/the-failed-promise-of-ind...
Right, but a .357 round delivers roughly the same kinetic energy as nunchucks and particle accelerators are also a thing, which is to say delivery of a human punch to a cross section of area the size of a hydrogen atom is going to have permanent negative impacts to whatever is on the receiving end. I'm imagining the front of the craft ablating at the atomic level and throwing off some wild-ass radiation in the process?
The future should be monitors with HDMI/USB input where you can plug whatever you want. Firesticks, Chromecasts, or your own open source alternative.
What's surprising to me is that there's no way to listen to any object type. You have to know the "kind" beforehand, because the watch API requires it. To watch all objects in the system, you have to start a separate watch request for every type. This may in turn be expensive.

If you have direct access to Etcd (which may not be possible in a managed cloud version of Kubernetes?), putting a watch on / might scale better.

(As an aside, with the Go client API you have to jump through some hoops to even deserialize objects whose kinds' schemas are not already registered. You have to use the special "unstructured" deserializer. The Go SDK often has to deal with unknown types, e.g. for diffing, and all of the serializer/codec/conversion layers in the SDK seem incredibly overengineered for something that could have just assumed a simple nested map structure and then layered validation and parsing on top; the smell of Java programmers is pretty strong.)

Generally, minecraft creation is less exploitative than roblox, since mojang (the creators of the game) has no hand in your creations. Generally, a young one's creations will be "maps"/"worlds" (places where you can run around and play etc) and "skins" (how your character looks). AFAIK, minecraft mod creation is a lot more involved than it is for roblox, but I only have a very cursory knowledge of roblox.

Using mods will depend if they are playing the legacy pc version ("Java Edition"), which has much more mod support or the newer cross-platform version ("Bedrock Edition"), where mods are generally limited to things that are approved by mojang (I have a lot less experience with bedrock so don't quote me on that). Generally, you will find mods are either "forge" or "fabric", which are the main two types of framework that you can make them with. I think fabric is the more "modern" version, but both are constantly being updated for the latest version. They have their own modloaders, but you can use programs that manage your mods for you, such as the modrinth launcher or the curseforge launcher. Once you have one of those installed, you generally just drop the mods into the mods folder and assuming you have all the frameworks and versions correct, they should just work. You'll probably want to google for more detailed tutorials on adding mods if it's your first time, as a HN comment is going to be too short to contain them haha.

Generally, making full mods is going to involve java programming, so a decent grasp of java will help a lot there, and there are lots of tutorials for it online as well.
They got (at least) very close to that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iberian_Union:

“The Iberian Union is a historiographical term used to describe the personal union of the Kingdom of Portugal with the Monarchy of Spain, which in turn was itself the dynastic union of the crowns of Castile and Aragon, and of their respective colonial empires, that existed between 1580 and 1640 and brought the entire Iberian Peninsula except Andorra, as well as Portuguese and Spanish overseas possessions, under the Spanish Habsburg monarchs Philip II, Philip III, and Philip IV. The union began after the Portuguese succession crisis of 1580 and the ensuing War of the Portuguese Succession, and lasted until the Portuguese Restoration War, during which the House of Braganza was established as Portugal's new ruling dynasty with the acclamation of John IV as the new king of Portugal.”
Honestly surprised more people aren’t talking about Cloudflare workers. They have an amazing local dev env with wrangler. Very cool architecture with JS-native RPCs, KV, durable objects, etc. I used lambda + dynamo for a while but found much more success with workers + supabase.
I also find this an interesting thought. Maybe an inability to monetize ideas in the space?

I've read many many anecdotes over the years of Europeans learning or perfecting their English language skills playing classic point and click adventure games that were either unavailable localised or the localisation was bad. It feels like that's an interesting language learning entry point.

I also like the idea of an AI plugged into a glasses video camera just narrating what you're doing in your target language.
> Our political systems

The rift has nothing to do with the political system (e.g. the US is freely and openly allied with Saudi Arabia despite radically different political systems), and everything to do with the competition for power and influence in the world. SA is not a real contender there, China is. From here the rift and inevitable conflict.

> If you are looking for some specific justification for a ban, you're missing the forest for the trees

Every reason for the ban comes from the above competition for power and influence in the world. Whether it's not having an adversary financially profit from your own citizens or influence their decisions, or it's to eliminate foreign competition and fill the gap with local companies, it's all abut power and money and the political system couldn't matter less.

You're not, in general, just working in a vector space but on a manifold whose coordinates are your extensive variables. It's only linear locally, in the (co-)tangent space where you're doing calculus.

Hopefully this will help someone else with a similar issue.

I had this problem as well, so I bought the Google TV Streamer box and installed an alternative launcher called Dispatch. $10 for a lifetime license. No ads and the interface is Content, not app focused. Works pretty great and the dev is super responsive.

Will AI change this? If AI can assess who is good for us, then we can get somewhere
I'm working as if in 2-3 years the max comp I will be able to get as a senior engineer will be 150k. And it will be hard to get that. It's not that it will disappear, its that the bar to produce working software will go way down. Most knowledge and skill sets will be somewhat commoditized.

Also pretty sure this will make outsourcing easier since foreign engineers will be able to pick up technical skills easier
Yup, will edit to correct
2023, 2024 climate change records defy scientific explanation
To be fair, it still hasn't caught up to how many ads are on cable. Broadcast is probably still a rather gross place, in this regard.
I've still got a 55" Sony HDTV from around 2008. Zero network or smart features at all. Just a way to display images from another box. It's been so good and still is. I kind of of want to upgrade to something larger and in 4K, but every time I see an article like this I remember what is actually available in the market I feel like I'd rather just save my money and keep what I have that works how I like it
It's not just judges-are-human-beings.

In most other countries, if there's a difficult political decision to be made, it's made through the political process.

Society wants abortion to be legal/illegal? Political parties make it part of their election platform, and if elected they change the law. Judges then interpret the law as written, and any bugs are ironed out by the politicians amending the law.

But in America, they face this difficult political decision - and it gets punted to a bunch of elderly judges? Who are appointed for life? Then for half a century the legality of abortion is basically decided at random, depending on which party is in power when these septuagenarians die?
Interesting! I am experimenting with videos as puzzles here: https://videopuzzle.org/ Seems to work quite well. The movement adds some challenge.
You could dump it into an LLM and ask for a summary.
Both the creatives in media (all forms - ads, news, sports, movies, radio, tv, games etc) and the ad tech crowd don't talk about barely growing global disposable income. Meanwhile they are furiously producing more and more content (ie real estate for ads).

What happens when production outpaces consumption or supply over shoots demand? Naturally hiring will slow, mergers and consolidation, cost cutting via relying on tech and more automation.

We have sort of peaked in how much people's Attention can be milked. In both time and cash. They just don't like talking about it.
Creepy AI-Powered Surveillance Cams in 5k Cities and Counting [video]
Same! It's extremely cheap in my case, so why not? One great thing about being in a city in Spain is the prices...Five euros a month extra to go from 1 gigabit symmetrical to 10 gigabit. I don't have anything that can even come close to using that (I can get about 1.2gbps over wifi, and have a 2.5gb ethernet adapter I never plug in) but... 5 euros a month!
But household activities like cooking, showering, drying laundry, or even just washing the dishes etc. generate tons of moisture, and this moisture is the reason why your home has ventilation in the first place: to get it out and avoid mold!

There's a problem with “dumb” ventilation systems though: they can't really adapt to big variations in outdoor conditions, and as such they tend to such way too much air out of your house than needed during the cold days (and it also tend to be designed to suck cold air into dry room first, and get out from wet rooms, when you want it the other way round when it's very cold).
Just stock, but I forgot that Spain also have stock included in wealth tax for people with over 700k assets. I think it’s just NL and ES though - I dont think any other EU countries tax stocks in this way?
We tend to see these types of articles popping up any time a new American administration moves in.
With the defense industry commanding government contracts worth trillions there is a lot of incentive to spread doubt and uncertainty about the current state of the art.

Conveniently, once enough fear, uncertainty, and doubt, have been sown amongst the public, the people pushing these stories will also push to have their AI/Drone/{insert recent tech} company be granted a new defense contract.

This method has been used countless times to waste the current defense budget on unproven tech that often goes nowhere.
I'm really missing HTTP/3 in ingress-nginx for Kubernetes. I guess most people use a CDN/Load Balancer in front of it. I didn't find a good general purpose alternative for ingress-nginx yet.

(https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx)
This is neat! I had some issues with ventilation in a foamed house and the only product that’s not a whole home ERV (which, I didn’t have space or ducting) was the Panasonic whispercomfort which actually has some requirements that were hard to meet (minimum duct length) and the overall efficiency isn’t that great. We put in two and have fresh air intake on our HVAC units. Still we’ve taken to running at least one bathroom or laundry fan non-stop.

I’m excited for more competition in this space. Beyond the hardware I’ve found that HVAC installers are way behind the curve on air quality. I hope education and awareness increases in the industry.
but think of the products! Dont you want ads?? You havent thought of the corporations poor bottom line at all :(
Most organizations don't move that fast. Certainly not fast enough to need this kind of velocity.

As it is I spend 95% of my time working out what needs to be done with all of the stakeholders and 5% of my time writing code. So the impact of AI on that is negligible.
I want a healthy democracy. That means that people should feel like the government is doing what they want.

Look at the current transition. A recent poll showed it has a 59% approval rating—for a candidate that’s not that popular. But he got on stage and campaigned with a bunch of people who had specific policy visions, and then appointed those same people to run the government. What you see is what you get.

I don’t really care whether what judges and lawyers and paid experts have to say about those policies. If the people don’t like them, they’ll vote for a different slate the next time around.
I hate the branded buttons. My tv has ones for apps Ive never even heard of, but I cant just assign one to plex: the only streaming app I actually use
This is emblematic of the LLM race in general. We’re actively pressured to use co-pilot at work, and it’s crammed into every Microsoft product. I’m thankful that my iPhone is old enough not to use LLMs. Companies are afraid of being left behind in the new arms race, but that doesn’t actually mean that the technology actually present use-cases which most people need. (Worse are the meeting summaries or emails which are written by LLMs. The summaries are just not very good, and any sort of LLM writing is a tacit acknowledgement that people don’t really care what they are writing, an that no one is really reading that writing very carefully.)
Same feeling for me about people watching TV, playing video games, gambling, listening to talk radio, attending sporting events, going to church, etc.
I’ve used openscad and some of my friends swear by it. I eventually just bit the bullet and climbed the fusion360 learning curve. Everything has been smooth sailing once over that hump.
My plan is to become a people person / ideas guy.
The ONLY Apple AI feature that was even remotely interesting to me was the photo clean up. Works pretty good for removing objects from a photo, which would be hard to do on a phone otherwise without opening in another app or messing with it on a desktop application
"Today's TV selection has a serious dependency on advertisements and user tracking"

Pretty much like every device we own. We need to go back to local-first software. I'd be happy to pay premium for a device, which is truly my, without big tech sniffing all my dataor deciding what can I do with it
They arrived late to the VR party, while those companies were already pivoting into AI, and late to this one as well.
> My prediction is that junior to mid level software engineering will disappear mostly, while senior engineers will transition to be more of a guiding hand to LLMs output, until eventually LLMs will become so good, that senior people won't be needed any more.

A steeper learning curve in a professional field generally translates into higher earnings. The longer you have to be trained to be helpful, the more a job generally earns.

I am already trained.

This is awesome. I can’t wait to see further improvements as they continue to optimize for the JIT.
Anyone know of good TV's? Either a "dumb" TV (HDMI and HDMI only), or the built-in electronics are easily rootable so you can replace the shovelware with Kodi (or stock Debian / Alpine / whatever).
It will undoubtedly make it worse. Products don't work well because of the lack of understanding and time spent on the products. "AI" only widens the gap and increases lack of understanding.
Perhaps "less than minimum wage" is justified for the offering though? Most industries struggle to compete with free, that doesn't justify deception.
I have also been told to have excellent reflexes. The first time I touched computers was when I dropped out of my masters degree. I was basically a bookworm my entire childhood/student life. Sometimes, it is just nature (not saying nurture couldn't play part in it).
Roku’s pending demise—it seemed apparent to me back when my Roku 4 was EOL’ed. Seemed like there was some kind of battle over streaming channels and some apps weren’t available.

I understand the Roku 4 EOL was a little early due to some quirks of the device itself, since the Roku 3 is still supported today. The remote control was also poorly designed—it chewed through batteries like it was on a mission to prop up Duracell stock, and there was a noticeable delay between when you pressed a button and when the button took any action. The overall experience (declining app selection and poor experience with hardware) had me leaving Roku behind.

My next TV will be a commercial digital signage display, unless somebody convinces me otherwise.
There are so many issues with stripping anonymity. TBH I will probably end up 100% either using a VPN or the darknet.
Of course they see no value in it, because most of them don’t even know they’re using it.

Apple don’t usually market these features, but they had to this time round.
I think the data would likely to show most people are spending time on short videos.
yeah I think youre correct, I see a quick ceiling to senior software engineer. On the other hand I think a lot of junior positions are going to get removed, and for a while having the experience to be at a senior level will be rarer. So, there that.
I wonder if you could do the opposite with success: spam the detection networks with a bunch of cheap noisy autonomous decoy subs that are indistinguishable from cheap noisy real subs. Of course, the key phrase that might make the difference in this strategy is how cheap is “cheap.”
I mean you may not think TVs are spying on you but it’s not something that just came out of nowhere.

News stories nowadays have enshittified the knowledge on it, I tried to search for the Vault7 leak without the keyword Vault7 in it but by searching for “tv spying on you leak” paraphrased a bunch of different ways and all I got back from Google was the awful clickbait SEO optimized GARBAGE.

But if the CIA was exposed for doing this shit 7 years ago back in 2017 when Smart TVs were a thing for sure but far from the only option compared to now where if you have a TV people automatically expect it to be a smart TV.

I will continue to not care, i think. Why would I want a TV when i can get a monitor and stuff a soundbar on the bottom, and an apple TV into HDMI1?
See this is where I and the FSF/OSI diverge, because

> the right to use, copy, modify, merge, publish and distribute the Software [as long as you're not selling it or derivatives of the Software]

seems to line up with exactly what the folks involved in Free Software originally wanted — the ability to fix, patch, debug software that runs on their systems. I also think it's incredibly important to have non-commercial clauses given that the vast majority of technical infrastructure in the modern world is built on FOSS, all while the companies give nothing back and developers of FOSS starve.

If Valve can dump hundreds of developers into FOSS and within, what, 7 years? bring Linux almost to parity with and performance of Windows for gaming, imagine what would happen if FOSS developers were actually given funding!
So, what is the recommendation for buying an ad-free TV in 2025?

Learning woodworking in order to make fine furniture. This is mostly a joke, but the kind that I nervously laugh at.

Yeah, most of my friends that don't work programming or building computers couldn't care less. I think we try to reflect our own beliefs on what computers should be and how people should interact with them but that is not the reality for most people, they just want to do a thing and click a button, anything else is too much work.

When i was getting a new computer to my father in law the main requirement was that it would be hard for him to do stupid stuff, like install a virus, so we went with a mac. It makes a lot of sense for him to use a very limited device because all he does is browse, watch youtube and listen to music, why does he have to understand all the details of how all of this works at all?
What do I have to do to support H3 in my app? Is this like TLS, which is terminated by some reverse proxy and the application still just uses http 1? Or does it have to be in the application itself? IIRC H3 requires TLS, so it might be better at the reverse proxy? But do I still get the benefits of H3 if I do that?
Slightly off-topic because it’s for MacOS, but the new Image Playground has been fantastic for generating assets while I’ve been prototyping a new game.
