Just because something fits in a single shipping container doesn't mean it'll be sent out in a random single shipping container via the lowest bidder.

It just illustrates it is really quite cheap and so won't be that expensive in the grand scheme of things.

> some huge majority of all mail is supposedly spam. Filtering client-side would be a tremendous waste of resources. I suspect the same could become true of any open protocol like Mastodon or AT.

I once had access to the Twitter Firehose.

It was, as you say, a mindbogglingly tremendous waste of resources.
B2C is probably treated as a cost center because it is a cost center. Nobody wants to pay subscription fees for heated seats or navigation or audio or whatever.

B2B is pulling in money hand over fist because fleet owners see value in the recurring monthly subscription. Wall Street analysts seem to think that many fleets buy Ford commercial vehicles for their SAAS offerings.
Where do you find these places though? That's tricky. They're the real 'unicorns' from my point of view as an employee. I don't care if I earn quite as much if I enjoy my job.
On the advanced tab, you can adjust the vertical spacing of the thumb cluster to move keys closer together. As for USB hubs, at some point I need to draw a line and stop adding options.

Whoever has access to the inbox and account for bob@DankStartup.com is bob@DankStartup.com. If Google was being asked if the SSN for bob is 123-45-6789 and they were saying yes, then I would agree that's an issue, but all Google is saying is "this person can authenticate to our services as bob@DankStartup.com" and that is true.
"Little Red Book" / Rednote leans wealthy (and fancy ecommerce), unlike douyin (actual PRC tiktok) which is for filthy masses. It's cosmopolitan "cool" which I think actually meshes with some western cohorts well. Curation/vibes kind of a turn off TBH, I personally like my woodworking tutorials mixed with uncles trying to sell barrels of glycerine.
There is an example of arrange node:

But it's not complete yet. I have indeed been considering chords, but the syntax needs more changes and design.

But according to your description, https://strudel.cc/ can bring you a lot of fun.

Compared with Strudel/Tidal, Glicol provides more on precise time control in audio engine, low-level sound synthesis and sampling capabilities (needs more development but completely feasible).
> Some people I followed would constantly post, so your feed, over time, simply becomes whatever those extremely online users post. It becomes less of a "balanced media diet" if it favors people who are always online.

I saw this as a feature of sorts.

If anyone starts spamming my feed: instant unfollow.

Now my feed is curated towards a slow but interesting ephemerality, and not a firehose of psychological manipulation designed to keep me hooked.

Hard disagree.

Rather than following people willy-nilly, I've found I've become a lot more discerning who I allow on my feed. If I see an interesting comment / shared post / post on a hashtag I follow (e.g. #creativecoding), I'll always check their account and review their post history before choosing whether to follow them.

Our strategy has been limited access, and I feel it’s not a great one. There’s a constant desire to be on a device and a large inability to think of what else they could be doing. Not helped by being a single child and papa not always feeling up to playing pretend Pokémon.

At the same time, it could be far worse. Whenever there are other kids outside/to play with they really easily fall back into a pattern of pure play. We’ve had whole days of just playing basketball too.

I’m largely resentful of my inability to play with devices when I was younger (see how well I turned out despite my parents saying I shouldn’t look at screens too much), and it affects the way I approach this thing.

Hah! Fond memories of getting my first macbook air. At the time cheaper to fly to NYC and pick it up from the Apple Store (with the Edu discount of course) than to buy it in Ireland.
> They can. It's called "taking a risk".

Spoken like a young man. I salute you. However, on your journey remember that risk of ruin is what you want to minimize relative to your estimated rewards. That is, not all risks can be afforded. I happen to have a limited budget, perhaps you don't and costs in terms of money and time don't matter for you.

Ruin can set you back years or decades or permanently and then you find yourself on a ycombinator thread hopelessly trying to find someone who can meaningfully quantity and forecast future medium term AI progress so that you can hire them to help your ongoing project. Alas all you get is the comments' section. :-)

> but there's also no good reason to believe progress will stop, because a) there's many low and mid-hanging fruits to pick, as outlined by GP, and b) because it never did so far, so why would it stop now specifically?

Specifically, due to lack of data. Please refer to the earlier comment[^0]: deep learning requires vast amounts of data. Current models have already been trained on the entire internet and corpus of published human knowledge. Models are now being trained on synthetic data and we're running out of that too. This data bottleneck has been widely reported and documented.

Well, hopefully nothing like that happens in the US - that is to say an ideologue that ruins a country by ostracizing and then removing skilled immigrants or deters them from coming in the first place. Perhaps we can examine some recent large scale survey data to determine if the US populace gives a shit.
There's a flaw in your reasoning: you did not consider that a lot of the projects at FANGS are completely unnecessary and exist only because these companies massively over-hire. Ideal working environment is when there are a lot of worthwhile projects and not enough people. That's when you get a choice of what to work on, that's when the company really values the employees, etc. That's how Google was 15+ years ago. That is absolutely not how it is now, at any of these companies. There are way too many people and not enough work. The less ambitious employees deal with this by hiding and doing next to nothing. The more ambitious ones fight each other for scraps of meaningful work that are not yet being done by someone they can't fight. It's not a dignified place to be either way.
No. Capital gains and income taxes are better ways to tax. Wealth is harder to measure, easier to hide, and not as liquid (generally).
It should be obvious by now that the whole game is to shift cost and risk to the bottom 90% while shifting profit and wealth even further to loyalists among the top 0.1%.

Viewed through this lens, the whole program is remarkably internally consistent. Tariffs on imports, cuts to corporate taxes, capital gains taxes and estate taxes, indiscriminate across-the-board reductions of 50% or more to regulatory agencies, etc.
I upvoted because you were downvoted and I suspect most of HN thinks you are kidding (maybe you are or aren't, please do explain), but it appears like it was only last year they enacted a similar policy: https://somalipublicagenda.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/SP...

The US also cancelled a large amount of their debt (previously 96% of the country's GDP was going toward servicing it): https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2024/nov/06/s...

I don't have any opinion but I do have thoughts about how the US is operating on a very different scale (who will cancel our debt, and at that scale does it matter?).

A software engineer who is only pulling well defined stories off the board is a ticket taker. Look at the leveling guidelines of any tech company, no matter how good of a coder you are, you are doing mid level developer work.

It’s not that I’m irreplaceable at any given job, it’s the ability find another one.

https://www.levels.fyi/blog/swe-level-framework.html

You notice that “codez real gud” only gets you to a mid level developer?

These definitions are similar to what you will see at Amazon (first hand experience), Google (second hand experience), Dropbox (guidelines are publicly available), etc

I’m definitely not a genius. I do have demonstrably a greater ability to deal with people than most software developers.

These agents aren’t going to magically do things without someone translating business requirements to technology and agents will never take over every implementation that large enterprises need.

As much as I have avoid doing it, it’s not that much of a leap to go from where I am now to sales and being a “solution architect”.
My gut feel is that it's true for a specific subset of single user instances.

The driver is responsible for their vehicle, not the technology designed to try to prevent them from running people over.

Jailing developers because it's not perfect sounds like an excellent way to prevent new safety technology from ever being developed again.

Considering we rarely jail drivers for killing people, the idea of jailing developers for failing to prevent drivers from killing people sounds nuts.

I don't think one can place much trust in phones not being tampered with as they are frequently jailbroken. So you could supply fake GPS antenna data to the software or I believe you could in principle also put your phone in a metal box and spoof actual GPS signals into the box. Civilian GPS signals aren't encrypted, I think..

'10 / 3 = 3' is either bad notation or wrong. It's not true under any usual definition of 10, 3, / or =. '3 = 3.0' on the other hand is perfectly reasonable in many circumstances. If you think 10/3 can equal 3 but not 3.0, you are either confused or confusing or both. What you mean to write is '≈', and when you do that, it's obvious that 3 and 3.0 are both usable in that sentence.

It is perfectly reasonable to define 3: ℕ = succ(succ(succ(zero))). It's also perfectly reasonable to define 3: ℝ as the image of succ(succ(succ(zero))): ℕ under the canonical embedding. Or you can define 3: ℚ with the obvious element. You can also define 3.0: ℚ or 3.0: ℝ as the obvious elements. If you were really a deviant, I suppose you could even define 3.0: ℕ, and people would roll their eyes, but everyone would understand you. Obviously, there are reasonable ways to define things so that `3 = 3.0` is a meaningful sentence (typechecks) and also literally true.

Again, different conventions are used in different contexts. The "user" of mathematics should pick the conventions and notations that make sense for what they're doing to communicate what they're trying to say. That itself is an important lesson. The sigfig convention you learned in middle school isn't the word of God.

Not being aware of these things to be capable of musing about them is I suppose another issue with our education system.
The title and some of the comments assume it would be something like if you take 15 extra minutes you would just die. When in reality it would just be an increase in cancer risk. If it were THAT contaminated they'd use the AREA CLOSED the article mentions anyways.

It's really not. The microwave links got decommissioned everywhere because nobody NEEDS that higher fraction of lightspeed. High speed trading is the only field where saving a singular millisecond is economically rewarded. The links used by high speed trading are the only ones left.
I’ll add: I have worked with many amazing engineers on visas (in the US) from all over the world (and written letters supporting them). This was at a large company that aimed to pay at top of market, and could never quite get enough people. These engineers were not disadvantaging anyone IMO. In fact, I agree they probably created even more jobs by opening up new areas for the company that it then needed to hire for.

I have also seen much lower skill IT workers on visas (often via the big contractors) that were clearly pushing down wages and causing unemployment for US citizens.
There is also precedent for child labor and slavery in the U.S. Societies are far more complex now and the administration and governance of them are correspondingly more complex.
"punishes good behaviours (saving and investing),"

Depends on who is defining "good". Consumerism drives economies and some might not want to encourage saving.
I use NixOS as my daily driver. I concur. I wouldn't recommend it for most people (even for me, when I decided to give it a try). I'd probably just go Arch if I were to do it over again.

The concept behind Nix/NixOS is amazing, but it needs to be polished. Flakes are the future, but they are languishing in this experimental status. Even simple things like installing packages from stable and unstable channels are too hard to figure out. The documentation is terse and the community answers are often not enlightening.

A big complaint of mine is that the builds should be reproducible, but I find I sometimes need to run `nixos-rebuild switch` several times to get a successful build. The error messages mysteriously resolve themselves. For me, this doesn't pass the bar for being considered reproducible.

Don't get me started on using an NVIDIA graphics card also. Granted, part of my difficulties is that I was running Wayland, which doesn't have the best NVIDIA support, but I felt like I was just doing an exhaustive search through the potential config settings to see what worked. Ultimately, I found just the right combination of settings to get everything working buttery smooth. I ripped out the NVIDIA card and put an AMD card in.
Yep, this is a truly bad feature launch. I have no clue what this model does. Did they somehow lose their competent product people?

Yes, first take a detailed slow panned video of each room, wall by wall, ceiling and carpets. Basement and all tools (open all and spread). Every appliance and fixtures get the medicine cabinet and under all sinks. Same with garage and all in there, same with shed and all vehicles/tools/bikes etc.
You can then slowly advance the video, list the books etc, all the kitchen cabinet/freezer/clothes/bedding/frozen foods as well as dry foods etc and amass a fully exhaustive home inventory. An amazing amount of stuff = $$ builds up over the years and few people have such a detailed loss record. You can do the video in 15 minutes and as long as you save in the cloud - in a few places even - you can tabulate that aspect of your loss in detail later - even after the fact if well saved.
I think there is an argument that currently Google Gemini is best place to tie everything together. Assuming Google executes on it well.

> the abundance of blocking in the 'verse in lieu of adequate spam controls, which ActivityPub fundamentally lacks

Bring your own algorithm can tackle spam (like adblocks). ActivityPub is flexible enough for Mastodon to build up references to algo-providers.

I've been frustrated by Mastodons slow movement on this, I considered approaching the popular clients to implement this. After all, ad-blockers run entirely on the client. A basic standard to boost or penalize toots' visibility based on keywords, author or instance based on an updated list is viable today.
I'd be interested in knowing what the cost of maintaining infrastructure for the US prior to that date was? My gut is this is akin to thinking you could go back to the income you had when you were living with your parents, not realizing that you now have so much more that you have to take care of.

Could probably go further and ask how much it was costing to expand infrastructure? It isn't like they opted for a larger source of income for no reason?
Increasing corporate taxes wouldn't necessarily shift the burden off the working class (though it might). Individuals react to taxes by reducing consumption of 'luxuries', whereas corporations don't experience luxuries, so increases in expenses (including taxes) cause increased prices, reduced wage expenses, reductions in dividends, or reduced capital. Increased prices and reductions in wages (either pay cuts or layoffs) are the most frequent reactions to tax increases, as investors have international alternatives, and so demand maintenance of the value of their asset.
Yes, if use booking.com (or any other third party) and there is any problem with the reservation and the hotel doesn't have a room for you, they will point you back to booking.com and say there's nothing they can do (which may be true).

I always book direct with the hotel. Saving $5 on a room is not worth showing up at 11pm to find out they don't have your reservation.
I’d suggest the “off” function on AirPods is used by… almost no one reasonable. I don’t know why an audiophile would use it, honestly. It sounds measurably worse than turning on ANC or Transparency. The only use is if you truly truly need the extra battery life. If ANC bothers your ears, the much cheaper regular AirPods should be your buy… or any number of cheaper non-ANC buds.
