14 years of creating digital experiences as a Product Manager—connecting ideas, people, and data to turn visions into real-world results. I have managed multiple digital projects in e-commerce, Web3, and AI/ML from discovery to delivery, juggling resources, stakeholders, and budgets while (trying) to keep everyone happy.
World War II was won because of US and (less advertised) Soviet manufacturing capacity.

Ukraine is more constrained by weapon supplies, especially drones and artillery, than by manpower.

I'm not sure both sides are playing the same game. In the game I think might be afoot, if your economy is management consultants, therapists, and hair stylists, that's "bad" GDP. Resources and manufacturing are "good" GDP. Resources are complex in that stone are renewable, and some go away when you export them.

I'm not even going to talk about education or, related, R&D capacity.
My understanding is that American football and other American games are built around tv adverts

How does normal football allow for tv adverts? (Other than half time)
I second qwen. It is very useable model. Sonnet is of course better (also 200k context vs 32k), but sometimes I just cannot take the risk of letting any sensitive data "escape" in the context so i use qwen and it is pretty good.
I abandoned Windows after Win 7, but I still have a box. Maybe I'll take the upgrade to 10 just to boost the numbers.
I’m a val.town user and townie has been really nice in conjunction with having stuff working and hosted right away, it hits the sweet spot for speed and flexibility. Tough call to make on whether to continue pursuing it, excited to see what you do!
what adverts does YouTube have?
Could you please give a complete example for those not aware? Ty
it doesn’t :)
My understanding is that saffron grows almost anywhere (there's people growing it up here in Norway). It's mainly the labor to harvest the threads that makes it economically unviable.

I guess you can sell American produced saffron at a premium but I'd still love to see the labor cost / profit calculation on those.

>In 2021, Peace and Plenty harvested 700,000 flowers, which yielded about 3.5 kilograms of saffron. Ms. Price sold it to home cooks, and to chefs.

>I was doing one flower per five seconds at my fastest, which sounds good

So with 5 seconds per flowers 700,000 flowers are about 1000 man hours to harvest. With the Californian $16.5 minimum wage that'd mean about $4.50 per gram just in harvesting labor cost.
To continue your road analogy: if traffic to one specific destination increases by a ton, it makes far more sense to "batch" that traffic by building trains instead. This frees up the roads for all the people going to less individually popular destinations.

The network equivalent to this would be having local caching servers. Netflix customers can stream from the cache and only a fraction of their traffic will contribute to upstream congestion, leaving plenty of bandwidth for people just browsing the web or watching content on less popular services.

Due to the modern streaming tech stack, such a cache can't really be automatic and provider-neutral, so of course Netflix needs to work with the ISP to set that up. If Netflix and the other providers thought about sustainability even a little bit, they'd develop standards for efficient delivery, including caching, and the ISPs could simply buy a universal "cache box" and be done with it.
I think it's a bit of a cultural defect that we consider a product with 29K (supposedly satisfied) users a failure.

More problematic (for Kagi) is that it's not a free-standing engine (“Our search results also include anonymized API calls to all major search result providers worldwide” per https://help.kagi.com/kagi/search-details/search-sources.htm...), so it's still dependent on the weird business practices around non-paid search. I assume these other search providers wouldn't be able to provide API endpoints like this with just the business from API clients.
Biden having dementia isn't a personal narrative, it's a matter of fact that was clearly visible for years but most US based journalists refused to report on.

The position you're staking out here is called postmodernism, and is based on the idea that there is no objective truth. There is only my truth and your truth. This is a highly ideological and contentious position, in fact to people who don't subscribe to postmodernism, postmodernism is an objectively untrue belief system.

Biden shows all the symptoms of being in a state of advanced dementia. People who work with him say he's only cogent and capable of handling presidential business for a few hours a day at best, and that's probably an exaggeration. It is objectively true that he has dementia by the definitions of those words. When journalists refused to report that or pretended the problems were caused by other things, they weren't merely preferencing personal narratives of equal value to any other narrative, they were explicitly manipulating their readers in order to achieve their ideological goals via subterfuge. Which is why nobody rational trusts them anymore.
That was a hell of a wiki dive. Thanks. Tragic story :(
The web isn’t stable so maybe this premise is a little simplistic, a browser that can’t keep up with the majority browser isn’t super usable.
$5 is practically nothing. $2 is just not worth the cost of the CC charge.

I think it’s really convenient that you can pay for extra searches, as you never have to worry about actually running out.

They also need to be able to pay for the servers that run searches.
Whether they are or they aren't treated fairly today is beside the point. They were treated badly in the past and now their descendants want recompense for those past wrongs. The wounds in Canada are likely a little more fresh, but many peoples in Europe still remember wrongs done to grandparents.
As a cherry on top, prices also aren't visible to the doctor, aiui. Doctors also can't really tell in advance if something is going to be covered or not.

On the other hand this is where therapy starts and ends. Ultimately a therapy is started because the answer to it is too negative. And if it's positive enough afterwards, it means the therapy was successful.

Or to put it the other way, there are issues where a Psychological tag can be put upon. After all the classification is largely a statistical one. But no therapy may be needed when the person is doing well.

Obviously things are more complex but from someone seeking Psychotherapy this is what it boils down to. Granted, some problems cannot be solved by Psychotherapy but that's a different topic.

Also I think it's worth mentioning that many people cannot even answer this simple question. No expert on this, but my presumption is also that through expectations e.g. in society and the career objective points are more in focus and not so much how an individual feels about it.
I hope they don't require a crash test ...
You know that the Constitution limits the powers of the Federal government versus State powers. If this is what is the problem with the net neutrality, then you need an amendment. Several states have net neutrality laws, that suggests there is a debate on where the regulation can be implemented.
I don't believe in trickle down economics.
It would be great for beam.ssh.camp to implement this (which would require no software, just configuring OpenSSH).

>It's not ads per se that bother. It's the tracking part.

I couldn't care less about tracking.

No, the reason I block malvertisements is because they are malicious. Malvertisements are viruses and you cannot convince me otherwise, I cannot find any difference. Blocking malvertisements are a matter of fucking safety.

What? We're talking about advertisements? No, all advertisements are malvertisements.

> DevOps is a flawed concept... conflicting interests... the conclusion is that they just don't want to collaborate/communicate.

Wrong! This tendency is exactly what DevOps explains is the natural state of affairs without DevOps principles. The solution that DevOps advocates for is that such conflicting interests must not be expressed in meetings (where the culture conflict ensures they will get nowhere) but rather expressed in code. Infrastructure must be in code, deploys must be in code, testing must be in code, builds must be in code, policy must be in code, and the implicit pipeline with all the handoffs between teams connecting them all must also be in code. This makes everything fast (at least in comparison to manual processes), and makes everything explicit (in code) so that people can reach outside of their natural organizational silos to propose changes elsewhere in the pipeline, i.e. infra-focused engineers can add failing tests to prove the existence of a bug, developers can add infra that they need, QA can increase infra resources to ensure that sufficient resources are available for expected scale.

The problem most organizations have is that they're not actually willing to force everyone's concerns to be written in code, and people are forbidden from reaching outside their silos. Usually this is due to poor hiring and training practice, e.g. "QA doesn't know how to write code" or "we can't let developers touch security policy". Sometimes it is due to leadership itself misunderstanding DevOps ("developers are forbidden from touching production").

> If DevOps was a real thing there would be a need for LegalOps, DevSales, DevProduct, HROps, etc.

There is such a need, and it is generally being fulfilled by the systems in place. Small example - HROps would be ensuring that changes in the organization (i.e. people moving teams) accurately results in proper loss (of old) and gain (in new) privileges. This is done with integration between HR systems (the system of record as to who reports to whom and what their responsibilities are) and Active Directory or Google Workspace / Google Groups ensuring that people are automatically moved between the groups to which permissions are granted.
Let's not forget, it was the dead bear he was initially planning to eat after finding the corpse on the side of the road.
He's announced very recently that he wants to change it that way, which is all the proof anyone needs that it's not that way at the moment.

> And that change has greatly damaged credibility with many in the public and within journalism.

The people within journalism are the problem he's trying to fix, so credibility with them doesn't matter. As for damaging credibility with the public, I don't know of any rigorous opinion polls which show that, but at any rate you'd expect finally admitting a problem exists to temporarily harm credibility. What will be interesting is whether Bezos can actually change things in a way that increases public trust in the WP. Even if you are wrong and he is right, it will take years at minimum for anyone to notice that the WP has changed and in the meantime he'll of course alienate all the readers who go to the WP specifically for one-sided reporting.
It would just be throwing more hardware resources at filling the screen with pixels. Describing geometry surfaces with triangles and textures is essentially a compression method to save massive amounts of memory and bandwidth. The downside is that you can't do some things that raymarching a voxel volume enables, and that the idea of triangle rasterization doesn't make much sense when triangles approach pixel size.

The principle that image generation methods are dictated by available bandwidth goes all the way back to the first graphical computers (for instance the weird color-attribute encoding in the ZX Spectrum is essentially an image compression method to get more graphical fidelity out of a very limited memory bandwidth).

Great. But don't write an article about it, but actually pursue it.

In the past 2 decades a lot of people wanted to dig deeper, the banks allowed to check their archives, and pretty much every time they came up empty handed.

I'm the last person to shed a single tear for any banks, be it swiss or not. If they still have skeletons in the closet, then actually show it, and then everyone can get the pitchforks from the closet. Otherwise if they have became clean in this front, it is time to pursue them for their other illegal/immoral moves. If anyone's running out of ideas, just ping me.
For Kagi, there is a big question mark around the availability of the third-party search API endpoints they rely on. If search evolves further and further away from textual matching, that will impact them as well. (For search providers, it could be commercially reasonable to replace more or less traditional document indexing with a way to synthesize responses—at a very high level similar to what some analytical tools for time series do.)

I hope that by then, they have deployed their own crawlers and indices, so that there's still an alternative, rather than merely adopting the latest industry trends.
You have to expand this comment a little. By now it's not clear what Arab state you are talking about.
Given a local machine and two remote machines: ssh remote2 -J remote1. This will connect to remote1 as a normal SSH connection, but then port forward a new connection to remote2 via that connection. Traffic leaving localhost is double-encrypted, and remote1 cannot see the data.

Disadvantage: remote1 must be able to connect to remote2. In this (ssh.beam.camp) software, remote2 can be in a place where accepting incoming connections is not possible.
I do this because I've abandoned GitHub for self-hosted repos, but I'm aware that _some_ interviewers use GitHub green boxes as a signal when assessing candidates.

Whether that is a good interview practice or not, or how common it is, is debatable. When I evaluated faking commits, I decided that there's basically zero downside to doing this and at minimum a negligible upside.

I suppose they didn't bother with that, and the system basically only works for cruising in 5th gear, which is what the car was likely doing for the absolute majority of the 6000km drive. You'd lose out on having "self-driving" in slower traffic where gear shifting would be necessary, but it's still hugely useful.

The problem with mainstream therapy is that, unless you're being treated by a psychiatrist, there's very little in the way of objective evidence of therapy working.

Sure, lots of self-reported successes by patients with no control to compare against, but at this point there is just as much self-reported evidence that prayer works.

For medical treatments, the bar should be higher than "patient believes it worked".
Since he explicitly mentioned a hydraulic clutch and needed to provide a separate fluid reservoir for it, it's a very safe bet to say the car is a manual.
As an American, every car I've ever owned was statistically included with an automatic transmission. Strangely, none of the cars I've owned have had an automatic transmission.

Subaru was making CVT automatic cars back then that were even worse than the awful CVT cars of today. That would be my pick if I wanted to do a 30-year-old self driving car.

I suspect many of these tools, including LogSeq, draw inspiration from Emacs and Org mode - the current version of LogSeq even supports org synatx!

But I've tried to dive into Org mode twice in the past five years, each time committing a few weeks to learning it. However, I eventually gave up and returned to Logseq. The steep learning curve was the biggest hurdle for me. Between understanding Lisp, figuring out and choosing between all the possible configurations and workflows, memorizing the keyboard shortcuts, and working through YouTube tutorials, the friction and mental load were just too high.

Logseq, on the other hand, provided most of the features [1] I needed while keeping the barrier to entry much lower - far, far lower than Emacs. But LogSeq is by no means perfect; I fear it will become bloated at some point (e.g., I have no interest in flashcards and spaced repetition learning)

It never occurred to me that ffmpeg’s license had these restrictions on use (I guess that should be obvious in retrospect, it’s LGPL licensed).

The ffmpeg docs have an straightforward list of things you have to do to link against ffmpeg and also be compliant with the license, which I found interesting:

Even at Google it's like this. I spent the holidays watching my on-call Google SRE friend trying to diagnose misbehaving mapreduce jobs devs had written. They are basically glorified first line support so SWEs don't get woken up in the night.

Which seems like the worst possible setup to me - devs should be first on call for code they write. That seems like a basic principle to me and creates the correct incentives.
It explicitly advertises itself as an unbiased news programme that represents all views, not as a left wing talk show.

If you search "Morning Joe" you get the following page snippet as the first result: "More about the MSNBC Morning Joe show. Watch Morning Joe for news commentary & informed perspectives. Hear the news from Morning Joe guests today". This is on a website titled "MSNBC News".

First sentence of the Wikipedia article for the show: "Morning Joe is an American morning news talk show".

Google presents this description in the sidebar, not sure where it's from: "The show attracts a wide variety of guests, including top newsmakers, Washington insiders, journalists, and cultural influencers, representing a diverse set of voices and opinions that provide keen insight and analysis around the day's biggest stories".

Part of the reason news outlets like the WP, the NYT, CNN and MSNBC attract such opprobrium is because they all advertise themselves as unbiased and neutral arbiters of the truth without any political leanings, yet they're all extremely biased in ways that their own staff will happily admit to and even go to the wall to fight for. When Joe Scarborough went on TV and said "this Biden is the best Biden ever", he knew he was lying, and he knew he was lying about presenting a diverse set of voices and opinions too.

There's a lot of anger at this choice in wording here, but it seems very clear to me his mindset. He lacks empathy. There's a scale from sociopath to "I need to sit on all the cushions in my house an equal amount of time so they don't get sad", and it's clear he's further to one end.

If you can't empathise with someone and understand (to some extent) their world view, it would be very easy to see them as alien, programmed NPCs. Not everyone can easily train their empathy muscle.

Facts are uninteresting. Our highly empirical world produces more facts by the minute, and people get a natural resistance. You can line up 10 facts and maybe indicate some truth. Viewers can come up with 10 different fact (a fact for them at least) against this. It is the narrative that forms opinions. Single impactful facts can move public opinion, but to produce those you don't need some big conglomerate with hundreds of employees.

> They are not trying to tell people what to think, or even what the reporter thinks.

There is increasingly small amount of venues with this kind of attitude (regional TV or some EU state media comes to mind) and besides this never being really true (what is report-worthy?) it's so mind numbingly boring that no wonder it's dying out. In a world where people can customize content 100% to their preference it is a naive concept.
Thankyou. It's a relief to know that other people share my opinion after reading this appalling article.

The author is too dumb to even effectively disguise the extent to which he is just showing off throughout the article.

I suppose the fact that Musk is his idol sums it up.
Saudi Aramco has a $50 billion dollar subsidiary called SABIC whose purpose is to take oil byproducts and refine them into plastics. Does Saudi Arabia have a huge plastic market? Or did they just think, hey, we could export this shit elsewhere for more money!

That's such a beautifully relevant quote.
If you joined 8 months ago it might be hard to recognize. I've been on HN for more than a decade and the quality of discourse has drastically lowered in quality especially in the last 3-4 years. This is a problem with the broader web, not just HN. Tech / startups is now a mainstream topic that attracts a lot of people who are not really in the weeds and are just able to write surface level comments.

Regarding the name, open is just a word. Apple doesn't sell apples. The company never promised to open source every model, only to make them accessible to the public, so you're arguing semantics that lead to no improvement in the technical conversation.
Farther up, someone else was complaining about a different tool costing $5/mo but saying they’d pay $3/mo for it.

Everyone having a $20 price point probably means that that’s the point they think the customers will pay for it. Will introducing a $5/mo tier quadruple their paid user base? My guess is no, but that a lot of the people currently paying $20 will drop to paying $5
