Tbh answer is usually "Sony did that, but nobody cared". They also did the camera in the middle thing with the Xperia Pro. It even had adjustable aperture!

Sony has consistently been innovating in this space but has always had basically insignificant market share. People keep complaining about mundane updates and AI crap but they won't buy phones from the one manufacturer that bucks this trend. MKBHD has a couple of videos about it (regarding the Xperia 1vi iirc).

My Sony phone has a 4k 120hz oled screen, notification led, headphone jack, fully manual camera mode, no bloatware or ai crap, great battery life (never had to charge my phone during the day). They had the battery save features years before other manufacturers. They've been doing this consistently for years. I don't know how they keep doing it, but I'm glad they do.
That is not (by far!) what the person you are replying to said! That is a straw man fallacy at its best!
Parallel code runs parallel at the same time (on different CPU cores etc.)

Async code is scheduling different parts after each other. It's still running in a single thread (maybe on same core)

aaync essentially is non-blocking IO in many cases. It can also ahieldnsome logic running in a diffefent thread, hidden from that segment of code.
I doubt any LLM would, nor would I want it to. Their job is not to contradict the user with "their" opinion. If I want to hear good things about TurboTax, it better give them to me. It's already annoying enough when LLMs avoid "sensitive" topics because their owners fine-tuned them on their own "moral" views.

> A lot of people I speak to when traveling are quite disappointed in what comes out of their phones but naively assume it’s the status quo.

Is that the case? I think it takes one to be a photography enthusiast/nerd to care enough to carry a camera with them. Most people I meet just want a phone "with a good camera". Phone cameras in this sense do not compete with real cameras, it is pretty obvious one can get a better camera if you remove the constraints that a smartphone's physical body brings. I think it is pretty illogical for one to think that smartphones have as good cameras as a good real camera, having all these space constrains and whatnot, so I doubt people really believe that the phone cameras are the status quo. Some people may be "disappointed" by their smartphone's photos (because they are able to objectively determine it) when they travel but most won't get a real camera because essentially they do not care that much as to buy/carry an additional object (or they do not have the money).

For me, I am just happy that my phone now takes photos "that look good" even if I have no idea or skill on how to take good photos really, though I can appreciate if there is somebody with me with a real camera who does. And even if I had a real camera, I doubt I have the skill to take something better than the software-modified one I get from my phone.
Well, 29K subscribers is quite alright considering that they are not doing any ads. So their marketing is largely word of mouth as I understand it.

Of course, they are not going to grow to the level of FANG with this approach but do they have to?

That’s not clear in the readme. It might be worth explicating stating that this uses the SSH protocol but is designed to work on hosts that either dont have OpenSSH enabled or environments where you don’t control the OpenSSH config.

Given the current readme, I was left wondering the same as the GP too.
Perplexity is definitely not sans hallucination and its accuracy varies highly depending on the type of query. For me it occupied a niche hybrid spot between full blown Llms and 'dumb' search engines but that niche is increasingly being squeezed out on both sides as the big Llms add web capability with more structured results while Google etc get smarter. It is hard to see what unique value proposition they offer going forward and its no surprise theyre becoming more google-like everyday, in the negative sense, as they struggle to justify their sky high valuation to all the vc money that is propping them up.

Argh, an extra letter got in. Edited my original comment to avoid confusion.
They typically contain copper, silver, lead, and tin, but those don't leach out of them at a significant rate, and of those four heavy metals, only lead is a real toxicity risk even if you digest the panels in acid instead of leaving them out in the rain. Another comment suggests that the dopants in the silicon are the relevant heavy metals, but those are present at parts-per-million levels, locked inside the silicon's diamond-structures crystalline lattice, and passivated with silicon dioxide, so that's not plausible either.

The most likely explanation is that this is a lie.

VC funded companies are into the trillions of total investment (100+B / year adds up). That’s a small but meaningful fraction of global wealth for such a tiny slice of companies. It’s not that these are necessarily bad investments, but growth at any cost tends to suck up a lot more talent than the business actually justifies.

Of course the industry is mostly dumb investments. Looking back Google+ was part of a wave of social websites that didn’t really go anywhere. Facebook was founded in 04, Twitter in 06, but in 2011 suddenly everyone wants in on the action… The wave of crypto was similarly almost pure waste but most VC firms aren’t really about wise investment. It’s about charging high fees for funds under managed, they succeed when someone invests not when companies become profitable.
The World-Altering 'Black Swan' Events That Could Upend Life in '25
I think you're misunderstanding the above comment. Buying a perpetual license for a particular version (or set of versions), then in the future optionally paying a fee for a new major version not covered by that license is extremely common and imo the most fair model for both creator and customer. If you never buy an upgrade or newer version, the version you own continues to work the same way it always has. You just don't get the newest updates for free.
> All the while Beijing did everything in its power to enrich the Chinese worker

i am not sure that the CCP is doing anything to enrich the average worker, and in fact, is probably doing the very opposite - making sure the chinese currency is constantly and artificially debased to make export more competitive. This results in lower wages for the workers. It is why there's low demand for goods/services in china.

The money being earned by these exports is kept mostly by the gov't - to be spent on whatever they think has priority, which mostly have been on infrastructure, supporting industry the party deems important etc.

Definitely not allowed. The route they are taking requies the car to be road legal. These modifications make it definitely illegal on public roads on Sweden and Finland. It's often not enough to pass MOT (which this car wouldn't in the Netherlands, where it seems to be registered at), you need to get type approval to make it road legal. Dutch government has a nice English page about it: https://www.government.nl/topics/general-periodic-inspection...

No, by making the bug impossible. Sandbox applications at the OS level so that they can't share /tmp. Apple has that for its OS, apps are jailed.
Fortunately, the picture of the car reveals its number plate, which means we can just look up.[1] The RDW data doesn't seem to include transmission type (at least from my glance), so I went to AutoWeek instead.[2] Here there is also no mention of transmission. My guess is that means it's a manual, since automatics would be the exception, and thus noted. I could also be wrong, I am not Dutch, and thus not completely familiar with the sort of data their vehicle registry would include.

The website doesn't even mention FFmpeg which is the open source tool that does all the heavy work. Building a user-friendly GUI is a valuable work in itself (congrats on that, sincerely), but it's not okay to hide the open source tool that does all the work in the background.

It should at least be visible in the FAQ that the open source FFmpeg tool is used by the app, with an appropriate link to FFmpeg's website. The tool could be described from the start as a "User-friendly FFmpeg front-end" (but I would understand that this may not speak to its target audience, hence the idea of putting the information way down the page in the FAQ or even the footer, but at least don't hide it).
I remember the first time I saw this effect was on Wacky Races on the Dreamcast.

I remember at the time there was a lot of PR around this being the first game to introduce that effect and how the developers basically invented it.

I can’t comment on whether that was actually true or just PR BS, but it was definitely the first time I experienced it as a gamer.
The "Tools" drop-down menu on your site does not automatically close after clicking an item, leaving it obscuring the content. I found that quite jarring.
Surely, however from a software architecture perspective types as contracts, assuming pure functions and maximally restrictive types, is a good model for reasoning about a system. A function such as:

addIfEven: Int -> Int -> Maybe Int

even without knowledge of the implementation lets us know our caller has 'entered into a contract' where addIfEven will reduce two integers depending on some conditions. This contract then becomes two-wayed: If I modify the implementation of the function there's a good chance I'll be forced to modify the signature, thereby letting me know statically that I've broken the contract with the callsite.

I'd recommend checking out https://lexi-lambda.github.io/blog/2020/08/13/types-as-axiom... for a far better write-up than this comment on why type-driven development is like unlocking a cheat-code for development.
"Meaningful" is going to be very different from person to person. Even $10 would be discouraging to so, so many people, while some people on here wouldn't balk even at three or even four digits.

But the TIME you lose on a high-level character, that stings for EVERYONE. I don't think you need to raise the stakes even further. Like, why, what are you even gaining? The goal of the mode has already been met.
For what it's worth, I have developed an actor-based async file i/o framework that does multiplexing, caching and format translation. Files are actors and pages (which serve fixed size blocks out of a particular file) are actors. The main motivation was to support caching and prioritised i/o. It doesn't target io_uring yet though.
> (basically "use a bucket of water")

the traditional way to cook cacio e pepe and the other recipes I mentioned in my GP comment is to move the pasta from the pot to the pan, then add some of the water from the pot to the pan so you have the "risottare" phase (most people in Italy would call that mantecare, at least in central Italy). I appreciate that adding something like corn starch would make it thicker, but also different people may have a different understanding of the concept of "creamy".

To me it sounds extremely unlikely a car with such heavy modifications would be allowed on swedish (or finnish) public roads.

That isn't an issue with farming. It's the competitive pressures of the electricity market in the US. Most of the US is currently powered by natural gas, which is about five times less expensive in the US than in Europe. Colorado is a bit different, they still have 33% from coal (US wide coal is 16%). The quick and easy solution would be for electricity to be more like the rest of the world and more expensive. Europe will actually be much worse soon due to a price cap is expiring at the end of this month.
I don't like people like this. They do the work of finding a bug, but rather than try to fix it, they grandstand and shout about how bad the thing they obviously enjoy is no good at all.
If I find a vulnerability in code I enjoy, I work to fix it and then only after my ironclad fix is applied, do I mention that it existed and that I fixed it so it can never be exploited again.

"Security researchers" IMO are the most cringe and worst examples of community members possible. They do not care about making things better, they only care about their own brand. Selling themselves, and climbing the ladder of embarrassed hard working people who do things for the love of doing.

From the readme,

> Beam cannot support end-to-end encrypted buffers. While data is encrypted during transfer to and from the Beam host, it’s decrypted temporarily before being re-encrypted and forwarded. The host only holds a small buffer (typically 1 kB) of unencrypted data at any time and never stores the full stream. For extra security, you can encrypt your files or pipes before sending them through Beam.

With a little effort, beam is as trustable as any (if not more) of its alternatives. And, that extra effort is a result of the design goal of not having to force a binary installation.

Plus, you can always self host beam, it's not that complicated.
Thanks, makes sense. I'll update the readme.
Thanks, I've never seen that quote. 100% spot on.

Sadly as true today as it apparently was back then.

I think you need to define "efficient" :)

E.g. continuously stirring the pasta while you could be doing something is a waste of time where you could be doing something else, so less "efficient".
Turning off the heating and letting the water cook covered uses very little energy but takes more real time so also less "efficient" in a way.

More active stirring also tends to break up the pasta, so depending on what kind you use you may end up with a different outcome (works great for pasta e ceci or pasta e fagioli! Wouldn't want it for spaghettini)

Mostly, I think the traditional way seems unnecessary because modern pasta is a lot stronger than it used to be. I you try to make a one pot pasta with low quality pasta (low protein) you may end up with glue (source: am Italian, live in country which produces shitty pasta).
If that was simple, it would have happened. It’s not simple to stop—if governments stopped it over night, they’d be thrown out of power the next day by mass protests.

Technology is stopping it, though! The continued exponential growth of solar (~30% CAGR) suggests that we could get to 1% of the earth’s surface in solar in about 20-30 years. That would be more than all current sources of energy.
Thank you for the breakdown, this is exactly what I meant.
It depends on how you read the problem still. In a lot of the llms solutions the array is not provided in the solving functions but rather constructed inside (as instead of defining the function with an input and then creating a main function that would be called with no argument, construct an array and call the solving function with that as argument, as typical in python), so I assume the llm did not read it like this or also failed this aspect of the code (which was never really mentioned). It is not clear if we are given a specific array of integers or one input is an array of random variables that we need to instantiate ourselves.

I really wish we would take defining what it means for an artifact to be signed more seriously.

Which key(s) is it signed with? What is the hash of the corresponding unsigned artifact?

Signature verification tools should have some option which prints these things in a machine-readable format.

I did some work on reproducibility of Android apps and system images with Nix, and while defining a build step which can automatically establish these relationships sounds a bit goofy, it can make the issues with underspecified edge cases visible by defining verification more strictly. I did not do this to look for those edge cases though.

I am still working on that type of stuff now, but on more fundamental issues of trust we could start addressing with systems like Nix.
By doing well, you mean they’ve reached a user base that is 0.00001% the size of Google (feel free to “actually…” me with the correct number of zeroes).

If we want the productivity unlock of search (and AI) to be accessible to the entire world and not just to niche internet nerds who live and work online all day, we probably are going to get ads again. I’m sorry that this is true and has always been true. OpenAI is just a few years from admitting this themselves.

Even if they reach 100 million paid users at $20/m, it’s not enough to stay competitive given competition will offer a free product that shows ads to monetize the other 5 billion AI users on earth in addition to a pro subscription tier and will always have the superior model.

Not all humans are the same as you and care about the same stuff enough to pay for it, I know, it’s upsetting. But this is reality. And its better for the world. It helps the most people in a sustainable way.

And at some point someone will say “we can increase revenue 10% by putting ads in” and the goose will survive because most people dont care

I cancelled prime and stopped sending amazon about £600 a year when they added adverts. They don’t care because 100 other people didn’t and they got an extra £10 a year from pushing them adverts.

Companies can’t resist the double dip, and the majority don’t care.
Any non-nuclear prolonged conventional war will see U.S. ammo and shipbuilding far surpassed by Chinas manufacturing base and it isnt even close. The U.S. plan was to cut off oil shipments and food if this happened. Now China can likely have a Navy capable of guarding oil shipments from the Middle East all the way to Chinese ports. Everyone in the U.S. just assumes that they did it in 1940 so they can just do it again in 2040.
It was the manufacturing capacity that won in the 1940s in the first place!
Trees release chemicals to see clouds and make it rain. They also prevent soil erosion. It’s not just about carbon capture.

Here in BC Canada we don't get paid anything for feed-in, but we do get credit on our bill - so 1 kWh in during the day means I can use 1kWh at night without paying anything.
We have 6.8kW on the roof, and it looks like over 12 months it will cover our needs.

It means I'll never have a bill, and if I get too much credit (negative bill), I'll just get a used electric car. I'm not unhappy with that situation.
