It doesn't really have to be that way, does it? Yes, they're very loud right now, but what's preventing a set of (non-MAGA) voices from presenting a coherent counter that includes concern for efficiency and effectiveness, but still with, you know, united states.

Aren’t tariffs just corporate taxes which are paid by big corps who import stuff built overseas?

At least when you incentivize stuff to get built here the money goes to union workers or at least stays within the US.

Also the regulatory cuts are sorely needed at this point. It took longer to get regulatory approval for the Starship rocket than it did to actually build the rocket (the biggest and most complicated rocket ever built).
I fear many of these alternatives are “backend is the appeal” and really, most people don’t care.
As a consumer I can't choose which camera model, but I can choose which car manufacturer. So I should choose whichever car manufacturer chooses the best camera models, all else being equal.
Altadena being relatively high in scientists, there was an amateur forecasting group that predicted the fire and sent early warnings out based on how they modeled the Santa Ana winds and such.
You’re simply ignoring scale here.

Having what in practice is probably 1 in ~5,000 fewer customers has negligible impact on a housing market. That’s assuming many foreigners who would be buying a 3rd home will probably substitute longer term rentals but it’s not zero and from the perspective of customers any movement is positive here.

I actually think the chart you are looking at (on the left) was updated from the one I originally received and I may have been working off the earlier one.)
Ask HN: DePIN powered uptime monitoring tool features?
For a while, we’ve been developing a DePIN-powered uptime monitoring tool designed to potentially handle data from millions of devices. Our current infrastructure monitoring and uptime management service, (Checkmate) is evolving to include DePIN integration. This will allow users to burn tokens to access data from the UpRock DePIN network.

This is currently how it works under the hood:

- Connect your wallet -> Select the server you want to monitor
-> Choose a geographic focus (specific cities, countries, or entire continents) for Checkmate to send ping messages.

While managing large volumes of data isn’t an issue at this stage, visualization remains a challenge. We’ve implemented MapLibre to display the data, giving users the flexibility to send one-off ping requests to the DePIN network or schedule continuous checks (e.g., every minute).

Given the novelty of this concept (similar to RIPE Atlas), visualizations will play a critical role for admins. Here's what we can currently offer on the dashboard:

- Node distribution on a map: Visualize the number of nodes per country.

- Selective probing: Choose probes directly on the map.

- Probe details: View all probes selected for a specific server.

- One-off ping tests: Perform immediate connectivity checks.

I need some feedback on how to move ahead. Since we are just a few weeks away from the general release, it would be great if I could get some thoughts. We’re considering whether this is the right balance of features or if adjustments are needed.

My immediate questions would be:

- If you had access to a global DePIN network for server monitoring, what would you prioritize seeing on the dashboard?

- Would you be interested in seeing historical logs? Like access logs going back to a specific time.

- would you want to customize packet size? (set the size of the packets being sent).

Probably there are others upcoming but I would like to start with a small UI set initially.
For example very slow ADSL connections or somewhere with poor phone reception.
Have they introduced any interesting features outside of core? Most of it seems like fluff, or there are better alternatives.
> Offering a different price to someone who "calls" from San Francisco, Kansas City or Mumbai is a different issue, and less palatable.

The interesting thing about this statement is that expecting a fixed price for anything is a relatively new phenomenon. It isn't very long ago that the price for pretty much everything was individually negotiated in some physical market, and nobody expected to pay the same price as everyone else.

Unfortunately, I spent more than a trivial amount of time wondering what an Einstein of Adtech looks like.
bad faith doomer. One thing you also forget to mention is that non-us workers are just that, not in the US, and that matters now that more places are putting an emphasis on in-person work.
Currently, the top 50% of taxpayers pay 89% of all federal income taxes. And only about half of Americans pay income tax.

So doing some back of envelope math, that corresponds to maybe about a $200 tax savings for the median citizen. But an increase of about $600 on their purchases.

This is an extremely bad deal even if you are moderately wealthy. Income tax is not an ideal tax, but at least by its nature it's leveraged on people with income. But a sales tax affects you even if you are retired. There is no strategic savings strategy you can use to avoid it.

There's an irony that the last election was supposedly about inflation and the economy - but between this, the tariffs, and the (supposed) foreign policy agenda - we're looking at one of the most expensive US administrations sessions ever.
Have you tried o1 pro? I find people that are making these assertions are not deeply using the models on a daily basis. With each new release, I can see the increase of capability, and can do things. I have written software in the last year that is at a level of complexity beyond my skill set. I have 15 years of SWE experience, most at FAANG. You just arent close enough to the metal to see what's coming. It's not about what we have now, its about scaling and a reliable march of model improvements. The code has been cracked, given sufficient data, anything can be learned. Neural networks are generalized learners
Your body doesn't absorb all the calories you consume, nor does it expend or store as energy all the calories you absorb.

I'm not "worried" about it. Just observing that the race is on. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing as long as the tech is in the hands of "the good guys".

I think as soon as you can get an AI to break a task down into smaller tasks, and make itself a todo list, you have the autonomy. You just kick it all off by asking it to improve itself. I doesn't have to "want" anything, it just needs to work.

So counterintuitive that nvenc confers worse quality than QSV/x264 variants, but it is both in theory and in my testing as well.

I thought the Tokyo megalopolis was still growing due to internal migration, at the cost of depleting literally everywhere else in the country.
I wish this was the case, I doubt it'll be the case. Suppose for example that the foundation agrees that Manifest V3 is a bad idea (and, objectively, it is an awful idea). I can't imagine a world where the contributors from Google (which currently still make up the vast majority of the commits to the Chromium codebase) go back on their steps and re-implement support for V2, which would basically go against the profitability strategy of their own employer.

Same for intentionally crippling Google websites on non-Chromium browsers: given how deliberate such acts of crippling are, I have reasons to believe that it's part of Google's "works with Chrome" strategy, and I'd doubt that Google employees can do much against it.

The only way to fix the governance of Chromium is to effectively chop all the threads that connect it to Google. As long as Chromium developers who are employed at Google won't do anything that goes against the strategy of their employer, you can't have fair governance.
Goodbye booking sites.
You can approximate it home by mixing 1 part Everclear and 1 part Windex.
While I agree it's hard to claim one is outright better than the other and there are a lot of factors that go into it, I do feel it's important to toss my chip in as someone who's not familiar with Lisp, Scheme, or any other functional language that I find it's syntax and layout particularly difficult to parse, let alone get started with compared to say, the INI-inspired systemd conf files. I can detail why but the mere fact that I'd have to learn an entire functional programming language (no matter how "easy/simple" it's claimed to be) to be able to competently edit a service file is a huge immediate turn-off for me.
Your original message was "Inert should be used instead of overflow" which is incorrect because `inert` doesn't affect scrolling of the viewport. Your CSS rule example is a good way to demonstrate using the presence of an `inert` attribute on the body to determine when `overflow: hidden` should be applied to the body.

That section of the MDN article is somewhat confusing but if the dialog is opened using the `.showModal()` method, there's no need to add an `inert` attribute yourself, the browser automatically makes the rest of the page inert.

If a <dialog> that's meant to be modal is opened not using `.showModal()`, say by making it a `popover` and the `popovertarget` of a button, then you might set `inert` yourself (and remove it when the <dialog> is closed). However, you can't simply do <body inert> if that <dialog> is inside the <body> because then the dialog itself would be inert.
Yeah, 2LAL (and its successor S2LAL) uses a very strict switching discipline to achieve truly, fully adiabatic switching. I haven't studied PFAL carefully but I doubt it's as good as 2LAL even in its more-adiabatic version.

For a relatively up-to-date tutorial on what we believe is the "right" way to do adiabatic logic (i.e., capable of far more efficiency than competing adiabatic logic families from other research groups), see the below talk which I gave at UTK in 2021. We really do find in our simulations that we can achieve 4 or more orders of magnitude of energy savings in our logic compared to conventional, given ideal waveforms and power-clock delivery. (But of course, the whole challenge in actually getting close to that in practice is doing the resonant energy recovery efficiently enough.)

They've purposefully underinvested in Safari to force developers to create native apps for their platforms where Apple makes a sizeable cut of all sales and subscriptions rather than allowing developers to create a web-app that could have done the same thing where the developers reap all the rewards for their work.

The only reason they had that burst of activity is that they needed to quickly catch up and save face in an attempt to prove to EU regulators that they weren't hampering developers.

The EU didn't buy it and forced Apple to open up their devices to allow alternate app stores and browsers on their devices in the EU.
We had friends over yesterday who were talking about their opinions that EVs wouldn't be successful and hydrogen would be the thing. It got me to thinking: why do we have these opinions? They're invariably wrong, influenced by all kinds of biases, and lead even very intelligent people to make very wrong statements and bad decisions.

I've come to the conclusion that I can't know the answers and nor can anyone not involved intimately in the industry or policy (even then) so shortcut all these conversations with: buy what is best for you, don't try to predict the future.

I think this is a good example of what annoys people about "wokeness" (not speaking to the larger social dynamics nor the larger political atmosphere.)

I'm POC. Many people, even some really close friends of mine, don't know the primary language that I grew up using even though I speak, read, and write in English with an American accent. Some folks have used invented names to describe my primary language. Others don't know that someone who looks a lot like me doesn't speak the same primary language. It's annoying, sure. Sometimes it feels vaguely discriminatory. But I'm not going to get extremely angry about it, rant about it, or launch into attack over it. I generally smile a bit, correct them, and move on. I might then laugh at them a bit (gently) with some friends of the same ethnic background. Again I don't mind that much. It's the price we pay of living in a multicultural society, that to some extent we always understand yet misunderstand everyone else.

Now obviously some people use these styles of microagressions to discriminate or throw hate or prejudice at others. If you're reading a small snippet (like Twitter-alikes) or if you read something out of context, it can be hard to tell whether this person is prejudiced against you or is simply unaware. But generally in long-form online conversation or in face-to-face conversation, it becomes very obvious when people are prejudiced vs unaware. And sometimes there are borderline cases where you can't tell. This line is ill-defined, varies by situation, and often varies by person. Part of participating in a multicultural society is to find your line. For some folks it's a quick one: small microaggressions and you disengage. Others are fine to forgive and are open to more of these microaggressions.

I'm not saying this in the abstract. I have definitely gotten weird vibes from folks in conversations who kept tiptoeing around ethnic slurs. I trust my gut. I usually walk away from those conversations IRL or block the person online. I've also been racially harassed before in person, both as bullying when I was younger and just plain anti-ethnic behavior as an adult.

Constantly trying to be considerate to every minority group for every perceived grievance is exhausting and creates a chilling effect on speech. This is the problem with this form of "wokism." There's a different category of issues when this gets extrapolated into politics and large social issues that requires a much longer answer than this, but I hope my answer offers some insight.

This both is and isn't what SELinux does though: the point of SELinux is when you execute a binary, it runs with whatever context is assigned to it and is bounded by that context (or allowed transitions).

This is super powerful to implement exactly that, but for whatever reason IMO it's constantly been half-assed on the UI front, because the best version of it isn't "detailed policy confinements for system software" but detailed confinements for user data (which was the original idea that conceived it at the NSA - the data model ultimately looks a lot like how classified data works).

AFAIK the biggest problem is that you can't really do an ACL like configuration for it though - i.e. if I categorize all my SSH keys as type ssh_private_key_t, I'm not able to add an additional tag on that to grant targeted access to a specific program (which both does, and does not make sense - i.e. if I'm handing a program one private key but I think it might leak it...why am I doing that? Conversely in the real world we're bounding risk, so I should be able to do that - I don't think Multi-Category Security fixes this?).

Basically "empirical consensus" is an SELinux policy, in fact you can generate one that way - run in permissive mode for an application type, collect the actions as policy, publish for that specific hash...you know I'm honestly wondering if this is just something we need to start doing as an open source service?

Thank you for the comments. Your questions at the end resonate a lot with what I have been asking myself!

> Structural sub-typing with inference

Can we have structural sub-typing with inference that is relatively fast and will generate reasonable error reports? We have been bulking up the amount of inference for dynamic code in our system and sometimes the inferred types get quite large, which can make trouble shooting daunting. In any case, better inference is a win even without taking data evolution into account.

> but tbh I'm just not sure how much this offers vs actual structural typing

The bulk of the work is definitely achieved by structural typing. The revisions help generate automated type signatures that guarantee you have not widened the output for old versions. If all you have is inference, you could accidentally introduce breaking changes?

I guess there may be some automated way where we could check old inferred types against new ones but I am not sure how it could be done without annotating that _something_ has changed?

> The "you must accept all intermediate changes" part is in some ways natural, but you'll also be (potentially) forcing it on your users, and/or writing a lot of transitioning code to avoid constraining them.

Theoretically, you do not need to support all revisions, only support more than one revision at once. A library that provides r1-r2-r3 can be supported downstream through the pairs `r1-r2` and then `r2-r3` and that should hopefully provide a smoother upgrade experience to everyone compared to `r1`, `r2`, and `r3` being part of distinct major versions.

It's funding hardware. My point is that a free (or discounted), short, B39 commute across the bridge would have been a nice bone to throw to the poorer people who made this traffic flow improvement possible for the wealthier.
