Ask HN: Google Maps 3D Models in Wrong Position
This issue appeared about a month ago, all of the 3D models in google maps appear to be floating about 20ft above their true origin.

I figured such an obvious bug would be found and fixed by now but its still present.

Anyone else notice this?

Parent is unhappy with the fact the data is being tracked and analyzed at all, not about the closed or open nature of the analytics.
The "move a branch" command is `git push .`. Yes, you can push to the current repo. I have a script called git-update-branch which just does some preflight checks and then runs `git push --no-verify . +$branch@{upstream}:$branch` to reset a branch back to its upstream version.
50K context is an interesting number because I think there's a lot to explore with software within an order of magnitude that size. With apologies to Richard Feynman, I call it, "There's plenty of room in the middle." My idea there is the rapid expansion of computing power during the reign of Moore's law left the design space of "medium sized" programs under-explored. These would be programs in the range of 100's of kilobytes to low megabytes.

But I guess 100k cars are bought are bought more in person than 10k cars. For most people, the more money you spend, the more you'd like to talk to a real human being.
Of course. They're mitigations, not preventions. Few defenses are truly preventative. The point is to make it difficult. They know bad actors will try to circumvent it.

This isn't lost on the authors. It is explicitly recognized in the document:

> The risk is even greater with AI model weights, which, once exfiltrated by malicious actors, can be copied and sent anywhere in the world instantaneously.
Cherish it while you still can.
> Something like: 10^26 FLOPS * 1.5^n where n is the number of years since the regulation was published.

Why would you want to automatically increase the cap algorithmically like that?

The purpose of a regulation like this is totally different than the minimum wage. If the point is to keep and adversary behind, you want them to stay as far behind as you can manage for as long as possible.

So if you increase the cap, you want only increase it when it won't help the adversary (because they have alternatives, for instance).
Name calling really isnt the convincing argument you think it is.

I would suggest you look at polls showing the vast majority of the world being against the existence of the state of Israel, and then decide who is “insane”.

The world doesn’t take too kindly to people that attack and invade foreign lands, especially if they kill children doing that while proudly posting about it on social media.
The thing is that it's already illegal for minors to see pornography.

It's not illegal for minors to access their technology devices or watch disturbing news footage.

This is merely an enforcement vehicle for rules that already exist. It is an acknowledgment that the law that has been in place for years doesn't work anymore.

Back in the pre-Internet days the adult video store or cinema would make sure you were of proper age to patronize those businesses. Sure, you could sift through your Dad's Playboys but essentially, an adult could reasonably be able to figure out how to limit exposure of content to their children.

In the current environment it's basically impossible.

An analogy to the status quo would be if drinking for under 21/18 was illegal but no bars or stores were required to check ID. That makes it effectively legal.

Now, as to your point on whether these rules make sense in the first place? I think we can reasonably assume that most of the voting public isn't in favor of legalizing pornography for minors. It doesn't really have to make sense when compared to other things we allow exposure to.

In other words, the existing laws already roughly reflect our cultural values. Most people in the Western world are literally more okay with showing their child something violent versus something pornographic.

If we all collectively as a culture decide to change that in the future, great, but I doubt a referendum to that effect would have majority agreement.

Essentially, the only concern with this law should be the anonymity of the age verification. All other concerns are addressed by the fact that a minor viewing pornography is already breaking the law.

Correct. You can use `yq` to do this easily.

Curiosity killed the cat: is it possible to get a valid cert for IPs on private LANs, like for example 192.168.1.42 or 10.0.0.84?
Normally I would say "tough nuggies" in this situation - you can't just sue an organization because they suck.

But in this case:

- Mullenweg violated his own T&Cs.

- Him constantly lying about the nature of the dot org and community structure definitely feels like false promises

- The WP Engine conflict definitely seems like it could escalate into a racketeering case. In which case the entire ecosystem could be thought of as victims.

To actually have WP stripped away from Automattic and handed over to the community would be such an amazing outcome.
The GitHub effect is real, like all network effects, but that doesn't mean improvement is impossible. I've switched entirely to jj, and it having git compatibility means that I don't need to rely on anyone else to make that happen.

I am growing increasingly frustrated with various aspects of GitHub, and so I hope someday we all move past it too, but I don't think there's as simple of a path forward there.
Ahhh the old "suicide by 2 shots to the back of the head". Open and shut case as far as the coroner is concerned.
> It's nuts to imagine that Amazon hasn't done the math here.

Amazon has definitely done the math and determined that the brands that buy advertising on their platform have really dumb ideas about how much they should bid for the advertising slots.

Actually, that’s pretty uncharitable. I doubt that Amazon gives the brands enough information to know whether the eyeballs they are bidding for are about to purchase an item in category X or just recently purchased an item in category X.
I am not saying 6 days is long enough, but if your automation always wait until the last minute to renew certs, you may have more issues to worry about than the CA's availability. If I am going to use a cert with 6 days lifetime I will be renewing it at least once a day.
People have gotten used to that, but UI work back to the 1960s has done studies and showed clearly that for many of these operations you get tens of ms before people notice and their attention wanes. The web often doesn't allow for response times as fast as the humans need, which is a good reason to write real apps not web apps. That is also why I use tabs - load a bunch in the background so when I'm ready I can just switch tabs and it is there.
I advocate this with every newbie to git - find a UI that works for you and use it over the cli. Barely anyone listens though, and then they struggle with the cli and make a mess of their branches and fall out of date with main and are scared of rebasing and have many other issues that are solvable with a drag and drop or similar in a UI. I figure it's a sort of masochism.
Yeah I guess React + SSG isn't the best choice. Nano JSX might be better

Back when I heavily used RSS feed readers, the solution was simple:

1. Unsubscribe from feeds that put out too much content.

2. Optionally put them in their own category and ensure the main "view" doesn't include those items.

3. Realizing that overoptimizing for consuming the best content is (or at least should be) a sign of suboptimal mental health.

4. Timeboxing: Decide you'll spend no more than 30 minutes (even less is better) on them per day, and be OK missing out on everything you couldn't catch up on.

5. Ponder seriously about the value you are getting from doing this vs what else you could be doing. Do you want to spend this much time (whatever it is) daily when you are 50? 60? At some point, you may realize there are diminishing returns to keeping this up.

As I learned in the last year or two, consuming offline content is significantly superior than consuming blogs and news:

I wouldn't be surprised if that was by design as well. There's a lot of money at stake here.
This smells about as well informed as the genius move that forced Ukrainian owner, Max Polyakov, to divest from Firefly Aerospace. A US government position that was widely derided by space industry watchers, and has now been reversed.

This might be a product of the USA being a gerontocracy.

the switch software feels so freaking good too. it feels rock-solid and fast. what really blew me away is how quick system updates are, from start to finish.
> Of course it does? People have reported 20+ hour battery life on Linux laptops:

With a poor trackpad and only if you use the low quality screen?

> But they don't need any commercial software. All of that stuff is dead and dying, replaced by web pages.

Who are these people in the mainstream that don’t want any commercial software?

You better tell Microsoft and Adobe that native software is dying…

> For the same price you can get a faster Ryzen laptop on a newer TSMC process.

And then you lose the whole better battery life, cool, quiet and fanless. Also the M2 MacBook Air is $999 with 16 GB RAM and faster.

> Meanwhile if you want a higher end machine, Apple overcharges so much for RAM that most people can't afford it.

The M2 MacBook Air comes with 16GB RAM now. But you were talking about people who are okay with an old laptop and not running commercial software. Are they really going to run anything so intensive that they need more than 16GB RAM?

> Notice how much lower Mac market share is than iPhone.

And notice how much higher it is when people have a choice and have money - ie college students and professionals and even developers? How many companies are going out of their way serving people who are poor or cheap?

> it integrates with their other Apple devices
This is not a reason for anybody to use Windows,

We are talking about people who have to buy computers anyway because as you said W10 is EOL or children growing up with Chromebooks.

They aren’t buying Windows computers for the most part.

> and Android has 70% global market share, so by this logic the global PC market should be trending toward 70% Linux and 30% Mac.

And see what people with money are buying globally - Macs and iPhones. They definitely aren’t buying Windows computers.

Most people aren’t buying computers at all. There were only 245 million personal computers sold worldwide last year. Apple sold close to that many iPhones in 2023 (https://www.statista.com/statistics/276306/global-apple-ipho...).

How many of those computers were sold to businesses? Why would anyone buy computers with Linux?

> People have a random laptop which is 80% as fast as a new laptop and gets 6+ hours of battery life under Linux. Option one is they keep it and put Linux on it, which saves them hundreds to thousands of dollars for a new laptop,

You can buy a cheap Dell for $400 and it can run all of their software or a Macbokk Air for $899 when not on sale or even a Mac Mini for $699.

> Option two is they sell it and buy a new laptop, and then someone else buys it to put Linux on it and the installed base of Linux users still goes up.

People aren’t selling old useless PCs for the most part nor or people buying them over a sub $500 PC

> If they are using Office365, they don’t have to buy new software even if they do switch to Mac.
They're not using Office365, that's the point.

They are using something besides a web browser, if they are just using a browser, why not just use an iPad or even their phone - and most people are doing that. You can see by the number of computers sold each year compared to the number of phones
A McDonald's kiosk is a masterpiece of engineering perfectly designed to make as much money as possible. It's by no means lazily made or without afterthoughts or care. Every detail in the interface has was decided after tons of experiments and hours of meetings.

Thanks, that was a typo. Do you work in that field or something related, or did it just catch your eye? I couldn't see your handles on your profile.
On our apps we consistently see a p50 3-4x speed difference between iOS and Android (though there are more lower end android devices). Hard to fathom if it's all due to variability in android devices vs RN being less performant on Android.
this seems like the most productive setup yet to me, do you face any challenges or like have wished something synced with other? idk

Isn't this essentially making the point of the post above you?

For comparison - if I just do a web search for "Did homer simpson go to mars" I get immediately linked to the wikipedia page for that exact episode (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Marge-ian_Chronicles), and the plot summary is less to read than your LLM output - It clearly summarizes that Marge & Lisa (note - NOT homer) almost went to mars, but did not go. Further - the summary correctly includes the outro which does show Marge and Lisa on mars in the year 2051.

Basically - for factual content, the LLM output was a garbage game of telephone.

> sure, features vs benefits

Yeah, I don't understand why the standard advice is what it is. Are most adults that stupidly naive to not realize that benefits are just lies? No company is actually able to predict how and how much their product can benefit their customers. Only customers themselves can predict that, and to do it, they need to know the actual things the product does, i.e. the features, which also happen to be the only objective things the company can say.

And yes, in many cases, the buyer may not know enough to correctly evaluate the features - but such buyer should be aware that, in such situation, they're even less able to tell if the benefits listed are realistic, or just blatant lies. Buying by benefits is stupid - the smart thing is to find someone who understands the features and ask them for advice.
First attempt maybe, but they have streamed New Shepard launches many times before, so the company is not exactly a newbie at this overall. Of course, an orbital launch provides a very different level of challenges compared to a vertical hop to 100km.

I'm looking for this proof of meaningful career growth.

Nowhere in the article does it mention how growth materializes. It seems like if you do this you'll just continue to be a senior engineer forever.

You have to find a way to get yourself into strategic leadership and step away from coding to move up to those higher levels.

In my experience it isn't individuals not caring as much as there is no one individual accountable for making these kind of decisions. Whomever designed the bike ramp probably followed a set of curb-and-ramp regulations set by some committee, thought they were stupid, but then remembered that the last time he pushed back it was a huge hassle and he got reprimanded by his boss. The committee people probably cared about the rules in general but didn't foresee all use cases and didn't make their rules flexible enough.

As pretentious as it may sound, The Return is both my favourite movie and my favourite TV show of the past 25 years.
I spend a lot of time on pricing and packaging of SaaS software and the challenge is real. Everybody says they want simple pricing, which often aligns to seats or MAU - but then they want usage-based pricing, but then they're concerned about unpredictable costs and spiky usage.

Unfortunately, there's no such thing as a free lunch - you can have simple and predictable but you will have some users that you pay for that aren't getting value. You can have usage-based billing, but then you run the risk that anyone who uses an antipattern for the product will suddenly cost you a ton (or consume all of their allocated quota and be dead in the water, which is differently bad).

The more flexibility you offer, the more complexity you're putting onto customers and sales teams to understand what's the best way for them to consume the software.

There's also a lot of market pressure to "follow the crowd" - even if you have an option that is (in your mind) more customer friendly/favorable, if you are structuring your pricing differently than the competition, there will be customers who are concerned that they're not getting "a good deal" or concerned that the structure will end up being less favorable to them over time (after all, why does everybody ELSE do it this other way?). Sales reps also prefer pricing strategies that are at least structurally consistent with other products on the market, because it makes their lives easier.

Similarly, it's very difficult to change pricing nad packaging later on - changing price is relatively simple, but changing units of billing or retiring an old offering can be an extremely difficult task.

(disclaimer: these are just my own opinions, everything is hard)
