Likely this is just for "practice". This incident shows how easy it is to break the cables, and what methods the authorities in the area use to pin the blame. It also shows what effect breaking the cables did or didn't have. I doubt China cares about losing one ship. Next time the ship they send won't slow down while near the cable, which caught the eye of the authorities. Next time they will do a lot of things differently, but I have no doubt the next time is coming, just because they can.

I fully expect Apple to release the airTag in different form factors. They can then also sell a whole bunch of new accessories. A 'pen' form factor with replaceable AAAA battery might be perfect for myself.
i think it depends on the area. I live in an area just South of downtown Dallas TX called Oakcliff. There's a really popular neighborhood about a mile from me called Bishop Arts. Over the last 5 years or so many blocks of 20 or so homes have been bought, demolished, and replaced with really gigantic apartment complexes. i guess that's good for density, sucks to be the people/community that already lived there though.
Besides geometry there is not a lot of music either, in the sense that even this simple symmetry is kinda fake, effectively a forced resolution of an essentially unsolvable "problem": hammering the intervals into place to inject some "logic" into the task of dividing the octave in heptatonic scales. Despite the unrepentant Pythogereans across all ages, our musical brain is not mathematical except in a very loose way.

Besides aesthetics, though, there might be educational value given that the equal temperament tuning is a cornerstone of western music education.
People often like to point out that PowerShell is multi platform and runs on Linux. When I looked more into this a few years ago that was a very deceptive statement because while it runs on other platforms only the basic commands to make it work ran and about 80% of the functions were Windows only. Has any of this changed recently?

> But that’s not the same thing as saying a larger sensor is better… you could have just used a lens with a larger physical aperture in the first place. You don’t need a larger sensor to do that.

Most optical aberrations increase with high powers of the f-number so it's highly undesirable to make ultra-fast lenses, so it quite quickly becomes cheaper to use a larger sensor with a slower f-number. Try matching a jellybean 85/2 lens on a full-frame sensor on e.g. MFT. It's going to be rather expensive. Then try matching a 85/1.4 or 85/1.2 (nowadays not uncommon) lens and you find yourself at "that's not physically possible".

Coincidentally, full-frame sensors can be made from just two stitched exposures on a regular chip stepper, so they're sort of the largest sensor size before cost explodes. Meanwhile S35/APS-C offers some real cost savings (single exposure).
Your analogy fails because the economy still needed human workers to take the photographs whereas there is a possibility that in 5 or 10 years, the economy will have no need and no use for most people.

"The U.S. Census Bureau today released July 1, 2024, population estimates for the nation and states. The U.S. population reached 340.1 million, up 0.98% from 336.8 million on July 1, 2023 — the highest year-over-year increase since a jump of 0.99% between 2000 and 2001."

I guess it depends a lot on how the terms are defined. If you include parallel dating (during the "non-exclusive" phase of dating), I could easily see this as being true.
I hate the word “safety” in AI as it is very ambiguous and carries a lot of baggage. It can mean:

“Safety” as in “doesn’t easily leak its pre-training and get jail broken”

“Safety” as in writes code that doesn’t inject some backdoor zero day into your code base.

“Safety” as in won’t turn against humans and enslave us

“Safety” as in won’t suddenly switch to graphic depictions of real animal mutilation while discussing stuffed animals with my 7 year old daughter.

“Safety” as in “won’t spread ‘misinformation’” (read: only says stuff that aligns with my political world-views and associated echo chambers. Or more simply “only says stuff I agree with”)

“Safety” as in doesn’t reveal how to make high quality meth from ingredients available at hardware store. Especially when the LLM is being used as a chatbot for a car dealership.

And so on.

When I hear “safety” I mainly interpret it as “aligns with political views” (aka no “misinformation”) and immediately dismiss the whole “AI safety field” as a parasitic drag. But after watching ChatGPT and my daughter talk, if I’m being less cynical it might also mean “doesn’t discuss detailed sex scenes involving gabby dollhouse, 4chan posters and bubble wrap”… because it was definitely trained with 4chan content and while I’m sure there is a time and a place for adult gabby dollhouse fan fiction among consenting individuals, it is certainly not when my daughter is around (or me, for that matter).

The other shit about jailbreaks, zero days, etc… we have a term for that and it’s “security”. Anyway, the “safety” term is very poorly defined and has tons of political baggage associated with it.
I've observed a number of poly relationships from the outside, as a friend of one or more of the participants. I've also been in a monogamous relationship for >20yr and I've lived on both coasts of the US in that time.

Generalizing wildly, "going poly" seems to be driven by one partner's selfishness and the other partner's desire to please. It has resulted in breakup of the original dyad in 100% of cases.

What vendor lock in? I have passkeys set in 1password, Bitwarden, Chrome, macOS, and Android. It's fantastic using them to login to various sites and never having to deal with passwords.

They're not 2fa, they're a replacement for manually entering passwords. Basically a more secure autofill. Way easier to use than trying to adhere to every site's different pw requirements.

Well, that and using the proper PPE so that you probably won't even have any lasting injuries or bodily damage and taking your time/following the rules so that you probably won't even be the cause of death for a hundred sailors or coworkers.

Compare that to putting the wrong shipping label on the package. I'd rather piss in a bottle than be a welder, to be honest.
"When it comes to actually trying to cash in these chips through initial public offerings or the M&A market, the returns are likely to be a lot less. How much of the venture business will be left standing after the eventual reckoning is hard to tell.

Fewer, bigger funds pumping ever-larger amounts into an increasingly narrow range of companies, almost all of them in AI: it's a long way from the model on which venture was founded, of spreading small amounts of investment seed corn widely in the hopes that the occasional big hit would make up for many misses.

After a brief boom in 2021, IPOs and sales to strategic buyers have fallen off a cliff. With less cash being returned, many of the investors which back VC funds are unwilling to put up more. Many start-ups that achieved unicorn status during the boom would rather cut costs and conserve cash than return to raise more money at a lower valuation.

It will take time for this to work through the system, but the reality - that many Zirp valuations are no longer supportable - will be unavoidable."

Ask HN: How Do You Find the Right Fit for Career Growth?
I'm 3 years into my career as a software engineer. I became enthralled with programming while in graduate school (studying a completely different discipline) and decided to drop out to pursue a 2nd BS in computer science.

I work at a large F500 corporation that is attempting to brand itself as a tech company. But the reality is, there really isn't an engineering culture. I'm at an impasse with regard to my career and emphasizing my professional growth. I've identified what I would like to have moving forward, but I have no frame of reference to know whether it is realistic to find a balance to these key things:

1. *Passion for Craftsmanship* - Mentorship is a big ask of more experienced individuals. I'm eager to learn and to do so in an environment where people get excited building things. I recognize my development is largely my responsibility, but I'm desperate for feedback on how I can improve and grow.

2. *Available Opportunities* - I didn't make the career change for the money, but its nice to have. But not so nice, I'd want to be completely miserable for it. I've seen it be suggested that being in a major tech hub would be beneficial both in terms of salary as well as opportunity. At present I'm willing to relocate to wherever the opportunities exist. I moved across the US for my current role, but the surrounding region isn't bustling with SWE jobs should I find myself unemployed.

I don't dislike where I am at currently but I do dislike that I feel a sense of stagnation seeping in. My attempts at articulating my desire for a challenge at work get pushed aside and while my performance reviews keep coming in glowing, I feel stuck and don't feel like I am doing my best work.

How do you vet companies / jobs that have what your looking for in terms of growing your career?
Um, yes?

Llama and Mistral are decoder-only models; there is no encoder you could put a head on.

You could put it on the decoder instead, but then you have the problem that in the causal language-modeling setting that the model was trained for, every token can only attend to preceding tokens and is blind to subsequent ones.
“In XML” is neither here nor there.

The massive amounts of indirection which the IDE wouldn’t help you understand was the difficult thing. What encoding you use for that is pretty irrelevant. JSON would have been worse.
As far as I know the progression into sub 4 minute miles was quite linear and not some kind of sudden breach once everybody understood it was at all possible.

The story of a sudden breach is perhaps more attractive though.
Yes, actually. It's not a panacea, but it's a foothold.

Nearly all my hardside cases have an airtag stuffed in one of the "Surface Mount" kits from ElevationLab. it looks like a pressure valve on the other side, and I might replace them with Security mounts if I'm really worried. Having those was a FANTASTIC way to track my cases as I left them with a (trusted) friend to be shipped along some other Very High Value gear. Being able to see what was going on (and know when it had reached its destination) was invaluable. On the way back, I could see my luggage as it slugged its way through the airport luggage handling system. It's not real-time but good enough for rough location.

A friend of mine was able to locate their stolen vehicle down to the block and then drone-find the vehicle from there, call the cops, and ended up busting an interstate chop shop in the process. The AirTag consistently got gasps of updates from passing vehicles and the neighbor's HomePod.

All this because she had hidden an airtag in the gas cap.

There are airlines that are encouraging people to put airtags/tiles/samsung trackers on their checked luggage because it helps them keep the airport handlers in check. A prime example of this is flying with guns (yes, you can fly with guns!) and how having an airtag made it EASIER to recover the firearm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHyb2amIkzo (This happened AGAIN, by the way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBngUc3rmY0 -- Yes, airlines are TERRIBLE about handling these things!)

Can confirm. Prior Authorization is an entirely artificial barrier erected by insurance companies, and in fact touted as a "a viable option for increased revenue generation if the plan sponsor opts in to a high-touch plan".

A high-touch plan being implemented as the sane process of getting the insurer (who is the progenitor of the signal), to reach out to the prescriber instead of causing the customer, pharmacy, and prescriber to all have to reach out and get through the insurer's artificial barriers.

I have literally argued with CxO's over this, and it was a major contributor in my decision to leave the sector. It is simply irredeemable in it's current, perversely incented/manapged state, and until the sociopaths at the top are convinced to move on, there is no hope. Prior Auth is being weaponized against the population entrusted to it's care, rather than pushing on pharma manufacturers to lower prices.
That's cool - I've been looking for a simple self-hosted kanban. A backend is a requirement for me to use it across devices, though. But, I love the direction.
Pretty good article. I think everyone could do with a little less pathologization of a lot of human behaviour. My wife has suggested in the past that we have another wife so that we can have more children[0]. I'm amenable to the idea but the logistics of this seem hard to me: our finances are fused, our desires are mostly unified, and it took me many years to find someone with whom this was easy to do. A two-party marriage like mine is straightforward for us both. There is a natural Nash equilibrium in responsibility splitting. We do so without explicit handling and simple nudges one way or the other suffice to recalibrate. I imagine long-term polyamorous relationships are easier to handle for people who have more explicit procedures in interaction or who are more comfortable with the uncertainty.

If there's an equivalent article which focuses more on the machinery of long-term polyamorous relationships that would be interesting.

0: It's not that we're old but that we will be old by the time we're done.
Indeed a wild generalization, but I can agree from many anecdotes that monogamous couples "going poly" is super super hard - much easier to start a relationship in a poly dynamic than attempt to transform one.
People use simple locks on their doors. Have for hundreds of years. Brute force is easy. Or hell, a five dollar kit on amazon will open the lock without damaging anything. Nobody’s rushing to fix that. What’s the difference? Usually if you enter somewhere you shouldn’t physically be, someone (or some device) will see you. We don’t have that guarantee with digital systems because owners of said systems don’t want the responsibility. So they shift the blame to people: people who use simple or repeat passwords. It’s not a conspiracy theory. It’s basic economics: avoid (the costs of) responsibility. Blame the customer.
Amusingly, saying: "...very hard to find masala for your curries or good tofu" is a thing someone says when they're not in touch and live in a bubble.
Show HN: Track Deprecation Warnings in Prod
We built a (free) tool that tracks deprecation warnings at runtime (ruby only for now). It's a gem you install that works like Sentry or Rollbar, but aggregates deprecation warnings instead of exceptions. Docs are at https://docs.infield.ai/docs/monitor-deprecation-warnings

We built this because we rely on deprecation warnings at Infield as one piece of safely upgrading large Rails apps. Often large apps don't have perfect test coverage of all their gem usage, or use different codepaths in staging/prod than you on CI. There are good existing open source tools like https://github.com/Shopify/deprecation_toolkit for tracking deprecations in your CI suite but they don't work well in prod.

Our tool works as an open source gem that you install (https://github.com/infieldai/infield-ruby) which spins up a background thread that collects deprecation warnings and reports them to our API. We aggregate them there and track them over time so you can verify you've addressed them before you push an upgrade. It works for any deprecation that goes through ActiveSupport::Deprecation, which covers Rails and a bunch of Ruby gems but not ruby itself (that'll come!).
It just shows memory safety is a joke, simply replacing a class of bugs with another.
Also the military is notorious for ignoring requests by scientists, for example to not use the nuclear bomb as a weapon of war.

So the developers may program the AI to be careful, but the military has the final word on deciding if the AI is set on safety or agressiveness.
More generally, using the prefix "Modern" haunts every product name that uses it. Technologies move fast and modern becomes antiquated very quickly.
Passwords are a technology. The technology is fundamentally flawed and inherently vulnerable. Those with resources have developed a fix for the vulnerable technology, in accordance with their responsibilities. Developing the standard and deploying passkey support is not free.

If customers want to free ride where they are not exposed to the cost of using weak passwords, or using passwords in general, I would encourage them to find an org willing to eat those identity defense costs. Why should orgs pay the cost for users who want to remain on passwords? Customers are not entitled to weak or vulnerable technology implementations simply because they desire them and there is a material cost versus a more secure technology implementation.
Maybe a better analogy would be farming.

A farmer who understands the value of crop rotation is completely right to be upset when other farmers are monocropping and killing the soil, or when they squander the local aquifer. It's directly impacting the sustainability of their industry.
> at least it could be argued that FOREX traders actually provide something of value because they provide liquidity [...] I struggle to see the value of publicly traded companies

Seeing this A>B comparison made me stop and re-check whether it was the introduction to a satirical post.

Many of those companies are actually doing something transformative in the world like growing food or inventing better mousetraps. That's way more "value" than "providing liquidity", regardless of whatever debates we might have about who ends up with the rewards.

There is one issue that I have with this article and most discussions around polyamory. That is mixing in open relationships and poly. There is a massive difference between, you can do whatever sexually you want and dating other people. There is an emotional difference.

Myself, I am in an open relationship but I know that what I consider poly is a line I do not wish to cross. I know that just it is not for me. I don't consider myself poly. (To be very clear, this is not a judgement on being poly. I have several poly friends. I just don't know why we group all of them together)

Mixing these has made having discussions with some people more difficult. So I am not really sure why we are grouping all... non traditional relationship structures into poly.

That all aside. I find whenever this topic comes up to be quite interesting. I don't live in SF but I am a gay man. I know very few gay couples that are not at least "door ajar" as I have heard a few explain it. I have had a few people ask me why I am open, and honestly I don't like that question. To me the better question is, "why not?". And you may have a valid reason, maybe you are a very jealous person, maybe you just don't want too and thats perfectly valid.

But to me this boils down the problem isn't monogamy, being open, poly, or however you want to define your relationship (or lack of one). The problem is the assumption of monogamy. Not ever having that discussion, and honestly having the discussion without jumping to doing something because you think it's the way you are supposed too.

I do find some of the numbers presented here to be interesting, particularly the divide between men and woman. But I honestly can't really speak on that since I don't really have much exposure to this world outside of the LGBT world.
I think you're making the claim much bigger than it is. The narrow interpretation of "consensual non-monogamy" does not imply a relationship. Having a threesome with your partner and your best friend already qualifies. Making out with a non-partner while your partner watches might already qualify, depending on how the question is understood.
