Let’s say you land in a new country that your primary provider won’t roam to for free or at all, there’s no need to visit the airport shop that sells SIM cards with limited options and try to buy and set up something which is often in a different language.

You can buy your eSIM service at the best possible price ahead of time online and have it ready to go when you land, and you don’t have to upgrade your not-that-old phone to do so.
I meant the physical destination, not the service :D
> Yes, I use IDE or a language-server-enabled editor when working with C++, and no, I don't have time to stop every 5 seconds to hover my mouse over random symbols to reveal their types.

JetBrains does a great thing where they show types for a lot of things as labels all the time instead of having to hover over all the things.
WeChat also has billions of people.
Recently I tried to reinstall an eSIM on my Android phone while overseas but was told by my carrier that the eSIM can only be activated while connected to antennas located in the carrier's country, i.e. it can't be activated overseas, despite my plan supporting call roaming and both countries being in the EU.

I don't know whether this is carrier-specific or the same for all carriers.
What exactly is your point?

You are basically saying that despite pre-2022 Russian/European gas trade revenue initial Russian military performance was poor, but since Russian combat readiness improves now (with sanctions in place), the EU might as well have continued trading? Because that is just faulty reasoning; You would need actual data here to draw any conclusions about sanction effectiveness.
I have a good enough reason to call those people “woke” instead of calling them “people who believe in a cultural approach that seeks to identify and rectify invisible social inequalities based on genetic attributes like race, sex, and sexual orientation by challenging existing power structures and implementing corrective measures. “

It’s easier.
The nature of software that has not moat built into it. Which is fantastic for the world, as long as some companies are willing to pay the premium involved in paving the way. But man, what a daunting prospect for developers and investors.
Damn, you're right, I didn't notice the notice, nor am I a daily Calva user.

But so what, is there no automatic balancing of parenthesis in Calva? That seems to diminish the value from the extension by a lot, I couldn't imagine coding Clojure and having to manually balance parenthesis.
These models always seem great, until you actually use them for real tasks. The reliability goes way down, you cant trust the output like you can with even a lower end model like 4o. The benchmarks aren't capturing some kind of common sense usability metric, where you can trust the model to handle random small amounts of ambiguity in every day real world prompts
All economic development initiatives face an uphill challenge if the underlying macro conditions aren't right.

The solution for the UK, the EU and Canada is simple but politically anathema: cut taxes

A 2018 study shows tax increases significantly reduce innovation. A 1% increase in the top marginal income tax rate leads to a 2% reduction in patents and inventors, while a similar increase in corporate taxes causes even larger declines.

The study is quite rigorous too:

Hey, so I weirdly have an answer to this.

Based on what you've written, you are choosing between polite self interest (unsubscribes), and vocal group interest (speaking out).

Essentially a choice between helping and staying out of the way.

The real question is your values, the reason you want to speak up in the first place.

In addition, it doesnt look like you want to speak up for the sake of it, but to prevent a dangerous outcome.

For a situation like this, its safe to say you will always be conflicted if you don't speak out.

What you will rue, is speaking out ineffectively. So speaking out without a plan, alienating people - NOT achieving the goal that motivated you in the first place.

At this point, i typically try and come up with a diagnostic question. Something that puts two values a persons holds in conflict.

Eg: If someone gave you a clear set of topics that would prevent this outcome, would you immediately speak up on them, even if you may not agree with the words? (I guarantee that these words prevent the outcome you foresee, and have no hidden knock on effects)

This asks how far you would go to achieve your outcome. Would you be willing to say things you dont like, to prevent populism?

If no, then there are conditions to your goal, or your goal is slightly different.

Knowing your motivations (just want to speak, want to achieve a goal, want to achieve a specific outcome, want someone else to handle it), helps you figure out what you want, and the limits of how far you are willing to engage.
The cost of living thing is debunked very quickly, but I think it's missing some aspects. I'm not in UK, but just on Europe main land, but I can easily pay for my flat, don't need a car for anything, while still living pretty much in the city center, should I lose my job I still get payed while looking for another job, should I get sick I can also just go to a doctor or the hospital and pay up to nothing, my kids just go to kindergarten and school also with paying up to nothing. At the very least most of that is not true for the US. So earning less is okish. Of course I'd also love to get more. But it's not as much needed as it might be in the US.
addendum you can also do something like this, which means you don’t have to redefine every job in your main ci file, just define the ones you don’t want to run

include:
project: 'cicd/templates'
file: 'builds.yml'

variables:
IMAGE_NAME: something
IMAGE_REPO: some.org

job_b:
rules:
- when: never

where the template you import has a job_a and job_b definition. both get pulled in, but job_b gets overwritten so it never runs.

less useful when just splitting things into multiple files to make life simpler.

super useful when using the same templates across multiple independent repositories to make everything build in as close to the same way as possible.
>it was advertised on the plane

That's basically guaranteed to be overpriced. Anything prominently advertised means you're going to be paying for the advertising budget.

Also, it's "unlimited data", which probably makes it more expensive than it needs to be due to adverse selection. For instance it charges $50 for 15 days in europe, but on esimdb[1] you can easily find esims for just over $1/gb. It might still be worth it if you're using absurd amounts of data, but citing it as an example of esims being very expensive doesn't really make sense.

Ah, so ultimately the author did end up paying less. The problem was they were on the wrong plan.

And the optimization problem at this point in time is that -ideally- you want to have some amount of excess generation on your solar panels, then time shift that with batteries to a point in time when power is more expensive, and have some amount of excess capacity in batteries so you can also sell that power; versus the (amortized) cost of that extra capacity; and/or what will actually fit on your roof.

This varies per house/plot, per contract, and per latitude. But in some situations you can end up at net 0 or better.

Show HN: Starskey – Fast Persistent Key-Value Store (Inspired by LevelDB)
Hey everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. I thought I'd share a new open source Go project I started. It’s called Starskey!

I’ve been diligently studying database internals, data structures, and more for almost two years now, writing many different things. This open-source key-value store is built on top of a log-structured merge tree, inspired by WiscKey and LevelDB. It's fairly fast, durable and rather efficient. It's meant to provide you a persistent embedded storage option for binary key value pairs.

I hope you check out Starskey, do let me know your thoughts and or questions.

Thank you!
It's just a question of having enough VRAM+RAM to fit the model into memory.

> At its core, the PC movement was about a kind of tech liberty—–which I’ll define as the freedom to explore new ideas, control your own creative works, and make mistakes without punishment.

The PC movement of the 90s, where it feels like this author is reminiscing, was about arbitraging the delta between what the tech could do and the literacy and expertise in government.

> But over the past decade in particular, the Internet and digital rights management (DRM) have been steadily pulling that control away from us and putting it into the hands of huge corporations.

This period of computing was notable for how a bunch of nerds figured out how to use new networking technology to stretch/abuse/violate/break copyright and fair-use laws around media.

So many ways to get ripped content then. It was fun for a teenager and felt like a victimless loophole. It both opened a bloom of interesting new creative works, but also decimating existing markets and systems, so that eventually new monopolists Netflix and Spotify could take over.

But the conditions and tools available then never went away, and private personal computing is more available today than ever before. In a few hours someone can read a few tutorials and buy/build and run a whole redudant content serving service for all of their personal needs, while writing or conglomerating a whole system of tools and capabilities to automate or agument nearly anything they could think of.
Just to let you know that InstaCam360 did the same on their cameras with the smartphone app.

Previously you could directly upload the 360 videos do youtube, now you need to download the film locally on the phone, then host a converted version and only after those loops you are permitted to upload.

Or you can now buy a monthly subscription and get back the feature that was already there before. Quite disappointed with this kind of behavior.
Joel - it really is a challenge to find high quality products even at high prices. Moreso at high and reasonable prices. I.E. getting your money’s worth. I hate being ripped off and have spent a lot of time researching producers and manufacturers to identify high quality products.

What I’ve found works is to locate special interest forums where experts talk about the best products, and to look for “whole products”. What I mean by that is to find products with as few “processed” or mass manufactured components as possible. Certainly there are exceptions to this, but as an example compare the copper pots and pans made by https://duparquet.com/ with the “ingredients” used on a typical pan you’d find at Wal-Mart.

The 3mm copper pan costs quite a bit but is made with real materials and skilled human labor. (No affiliation)

The Wal-Mart pan is the cheapest “metal” possible sprayed with a chemical coating and some generic styling and branding Homesense or something.

Certainly you can find some more affordable pots and pans with similar features as the website I shared, but you have to be careful.

Almost all electronics will by definition be planned obsolescence. A pan to cook meals? Like cities and good architecture we figured out how to make great pots and pans, knives, and more a long time ago and there isn’t a whole lot left to do.

Unfortunately population growth has led to a need for cheaper and crappier products especially in the west to maintain a perceived level of lifestyle.
Well to be fair if you add "validation" the turnaround for any noncomplex piece of software can reach months pretty quickly as well.

But yeah I'm not gonna argue that sw isn't faster than hw in 99% of the cases.
Actually, no. The Gutenberg bible was not the goal of the printing press, although it might have been a business savvy move for a variety of reasons. We know that, possibly even before profitable Church orders of indulgences, it was used to print poem(s), of which one is still preserved in a museum, predating the bible by about 5 years.
The article doesn't mention this: systemd is not well written software, and far from behaving robust and consistently. Take some time, look through the currently open issues on Github, see for yourself whether you consider this stable software. Machine hanging indefinitely during poweroff/reboot is one of the classics.

I'm not saying that good software has no bugs, but the kind of bugs reported tells much about the software.

Well, no, all of those other forms of online communication exist globally, and can be used by anyone, anywhere.

According to the people I work with, all they care about is kids in cages. They value “tough talk” on immigration above anything else. Being influenced by Russia or China don’t even register.
the billionaires-argument can also be made for the opposing party. I believe many didn't vote _for_ trump, but merely against what the democrats were doing
Why could one assume so? Are there any explicit links? Or just because it's a Chinese company it's of course compromised and to be shunned?
I've found that agile works if velocity is static and used for estimates ONLY and is flat over time. Once velocity is measured as an output metric and there is an attempt to improve it, you've just left agile and are now in a morass.

The nominal value of highly automated processes has never been higher. Meanwhile, ordinary people are not able to find as many good jobs as they once did. Wages in almost every industry are stagnant at best, at least when adjusted for inflation.

>A claim that manufacturing should employ more, in the face of increased productivity, That’s a claim that manufacturing should replace other endeavours in the economy which, is a complex claim at the very least.

It is a complex claim but I'll make it really simple. We import most of the things we rely on. Everything from plastic toys to car parts to critical medicines are all imported. Letting yourself become totally dependent on other countries while our STEM grads are underemployed, and would-be manufacturing line workers are forced to do bullshit like driving for Uber, is no way to run a country. It is going to backfire one day unless there is a major reversal in the trend.
HN isn't even in the conversation.
I'm a gptel addict, so I'll be looking at your approach. Thanks for posting it.
The previous comment was complaining that we can't improve the situation, as there are no viable alternatives, in a discussion that is taking place on one of the alternatives. That's the irony.
Those people need to be housed either way so that energy is already spent. The path forward for Californians or any one in fire prone areas is to practice realistic fire-resistant home building and landscaping. Many of these techniques developed do not require concrete. That or these areas will have to be no-build zones.

They broke the security of a beta product. That’s why it’s beta and not a released product.

LAN mode didn’t exist when this product was first sold, and it was never implemented through the SD card. It was meant to be used through Bambu Studio over your local network.

“Not implemented/not yet implemented” != “blocked”

Someone who bought a Bambu Lab printer early on actually has more ability to use it without a cloud service now than they did when the product was new. Just about everyone who owns a Bambu Lab printer already signed up for a cloud-connected printer.

No, it very much isn't. Reality is reality, and people's perceptions of it are often quite incorrect.
In my experience, getting an eSIM is usually cheaper than the airport SIM card plans, but often there are cheaper plans available when you get to the city. In any case, having both options is nice!
Imagine Ford deciding their cars must drive at 50% their speed when the engine oil is older than 2 years and at the same time forbidding users from changing the oil.

Yet there are always people justifying these type of awful practices as better for users. These aren't, the measures are only good for business.
I don't think anyone is arguing that it is acceptable, but that the solution is at odds with a free market economy and values usually upheld by western democracies.

A company in Hungary starts manufacturing cars. They become wildly popular in the US. Everyone and their aunt is driving one. Then the US demands a sale for national security reasons. Does that sound reasonable? Instead, you address whatever the security gap is (data privacy, scanning for backdoors, data residency, etc) and enforce compliance.

In the case of social media, that would be mandatory tagging of paid content, advertisements, political ads (or prohibition of), along with measures to slow down/limit the dissemination of information so no single person can sway public opinion with the wave of a hand (cough cough X). In many countries, influencers are now subject to advertising rules, as it should be. At some point we'll need to get a grasp on how to do the same for news/opinion pieces.

Just dropping the whole thing into 'more reliable hands' without changing any of the rules of the game accomplishes very little.
Step 3 should probably be reinstalling the OS, and restoring data from backup (ideally from before the malicious version was installed).
Infosec twitter had been self-immolating long before X. I basically solved the influx of weird stuff in one night by blocking everything that wasn’t related to my interests. The next day I was reading about rockets from my rocket peeps, radios from my radio peeps, and politics and posturing from my infosec peeps.
You can try something like this to get a rough estimate: https://huggingface.co/spaces/NyxKrage/LLM-Model-VRAM-Calcul...

But you really don't know the exact numbers until you try, a lot of it is runtime/environment context specific.

My only concern is that on openrouter.ai it says:

"To our knowledge, this provider may use your prompts and completions to train new models."

This is a dealbreaker for me to use it at the moment.
In which countries are eSIMs cheaper? I have never encountered this in Africa or in Asia. I was just in Vietnam, a local SIM was probably 50% cheaper than anything I could find on esimdb.

Currently I'm in Georgia, unlimited internet for a week is 9 GEL, or around 3ish USD per week. The cheapest on esdimdb is 19 USD for unlimited internet for a week.

What we usually do when we travel is buy the cheapest eSIM, usually on some introductory offer to get like 1GB for 1 USD (so we can order taxis, maps etc), then go to a local provider and get a local SIM.

One place where an eSIM was a good choice was China. I don't quite understand how it works, but it seems if you use an eSIM in China you get around the great firewall without needing a VPN.

I wish eSIMs were cheaper, so I wouldn't have to deal with the headache of doing that. When going to local providers, sometimes they offer an eSIM option, but there is usually no price difference.
A calculator won't give you bad information if you use it correctly, though. AI, will. The same prompt can generate vastly different answers.

Even the codegen examples given by the AI companies themselves have flaws in them. Critical flaws, like Claude's testing rig that doesn't test what it says it does, for example. The system is inherently flawed for most purposes it is currently being used for.

It is not, if what the user expects to stay constant is their local calendar/wall clock time rather than the UTC instant. Which is usually the case.
