I wish there was a modern "news wire" service to help with this problem.

I'm thinking tweet-sized news stories, a few per day at most, no threads, no images, no links, nothing but 140 characters of pure text. You could even deliver them as texts or unclickable push notifications.

That format heavily discourages clickbait (because there are no clicks to be had) and forces journalists to only include the information that actually matters, with no fluff about how they were sipping hot cocoa in a nice indie restaurant in Montana when talking to the subject of the story, a 38-year-old man wearing a polo shirt.

You could run an operation like this on a shoestring budget, with one or two individuals regurgitating news stories from mainstream sources in a much denser format, minus the outrage. Many, including me, would probably be willing to subscribe.

I'll be that guy. No sympathy at all for those exploiting these birds. Hope the price goes to infinity.
I think that people should give the idea that the common man is a boiling vessel of ingenuity and wonder restrained only by not having to right tools (read: products) a rest. I know that there are cultural and socioeconomic incentives to believing this. So the idea persists, for now.

I just don’t buy the supposition that in ten years those incentives will still attract the common man.

Ok, but, you can't feed 340M people with "fresh, local eggs". While it's nice you buy six eggs at a time from Joe Farmer off the back of his '72 Ford, but factory farms are an unfortunate necessity to feed everyone that isn't so privileged.

You can't even get a bare PCB manufactured anywhere else for a price even remotely close to that of JLC, PCBWay etc.

Component availability has nothing to do with that, JLC have always been way cheaper than US/EU board houses even before they started doing assembly services

Mostly because OpenAI's vision offerings aren't particularly compelling:

- 4o can't really do localization, and ime is worse than Gemini 2.0 and Qwen2.5 at document tasks

- 4o mini isn't cheaper than 4o for images because it uses a lot of tokens per image compared to 4o (~5600/tile vs 170/tile, where each tile is 512x512)

- o1 has support for vision but is wildly expensive and slow

- o3-mini doesn't yet have support for vision, and o1-mini never did
It takes a lot of YouTube views to add up to a Apple/Amazon/etc rental.
Electric Bikes maybe. But Electric Bikes ain't competing for the same market share as a car.

End of the day, the biggest EV sellers in Europe remain either Tesla or European conglomerates.

And this is the same story for just about every large economy. No country wants an outsider player selling products that disadvantage local players.
> they continue to get it wrong for live event streaming

And truly live (which means probably under 10 seconds from lens to viewer - i.e. the time it takes for the "X win" notification to pop up on your phone) is even harder than traditional "live" in the 40-60 second window.

Ideally you want all viewer to view it at the same time (so when next-door are cheering on a feed 3 seconds ahead of you it's not spoilt).
This is amazing! I needed to read it today. Thank you.
Sure, but if there are actual rules, agreed to and accepted by the entire team (as opposed to one guy's idiosyncratic preferences) then there should be a commit-hook to run the code through a linter and reject the commit if the rules are violated.
> why buy a Model Y in December at full price, when you can order the new version for the same price?

This take is not supported by the data. Used Tesla prices are crashing across the board. Sales are crashing across the board. Polls show clear negative sentiment towards the brand.

The old lineup isn’t helping. And yes, there will be a blip when the Y comes out. Tesla builds good cars and plenty of people buy on price and quality. But there is a reason most cars come in black, grey and white—consumers are conservative about cars as a statement about themselves. Owning a Tesla, today, is a political statement. Even among those who agree with Musk, most don’t want to signal that day to day.
There does appear to be a social cost to driving a Tesla in blue-leaning areas these days. Nothing overt, but I've heard people who bought them without knowing who Musk is (and don't agree with him) now openly saying "never-again".

If the used Tesla market gets flooded, will there be consumer demand for those used Teslas? I suspect that most will be in suburban red-leaning areas in areas that aren't openly EV-technology hostile (something like the Dallas or Atlanta suburbs).

The problem for Tesla is that unlike the prestige effect of used luxury car sales driving new luxury car sales (i.e. BMW, Benz, etc), these cars are being disposed of because they are becoming less desirable. The target market for new Teslas seems to be shrinking among the primary populations who both want and can afford EVs.
This was my question:

> Are you happy?
Don’t you think it is strange that you make $700K a year and can’t find the same sort of contentment that many have making literally 20% of what you make?

You are worried about your potential children being “happy” when you can’t find anyone to procreate with to create children. “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.”

You’ve worked hard, make good money and still seem to be miserable. Just maybe the answer isn’t money?

A lot of that is selling just 2 mass-market models. And it only barely beats out the Toyota Corolla, except that Toyota also sells the third highest volume model (the RAV-4) and the 8th (the Camry).

Try and articulate in what way that meaningfully hampers securing a border such that you’re looking at zero illicit crossings a month.

Driving 1 truck through a brick wall isn’t easier than driving 10, you need to deal with the wall either way.

Same deal with a tunnel, it’s detecting that’s hard. Shipping thousands of tons through a small gap is easy.

If anything length of border gives you economies of scale in terms of specialization equipment.
Even if the criticism was intended to be constructive.

Any concept of "strong security" that doesn't consider losing access to be a security issue is, at best, amateur.

If a state actor can't access your email, but you also can't access your email (and receive notices of login attempts, password reset attempts, server intrusions, etc.), then you absolutely do not have a good security posture.
I was wondering how I could provide evidence for you other than walking to the grocery and taking a picture, but I found at least one of our local farms that has their prices online: https://www.maplewindfarm.com/collections/retail-store -- I'd expect it would be quite easy for them to change their prices on their own storefront and in their farmstand, where I often buy their eggs.

A dozen large eggs there right now is $7.90, which is right in line with what their costs have been for at least the last year (they are one of the more expensive local brands).

Unfortunately I just went to the grocery last night, so I don't have any reason to swing by today, but next time I do I'll try to remember to snap a pic of the egg section to share.

I've seen a bunch of posts online from the farms about how they're doing biosafety protocols, keeping groups of chickens isolated from each other, etc. I'm sure that increases their costs somewhat, but whatever they're doing seems to be keeping them insulated from the worst of the flock die offs, and regardless, their prices haven't really changed.
Exactly. The one thing I learned about web dev in 10+ years is, all (or most of) the opinions are wrong.

Where we were in the early 2000s wasn't bad, it was actually pretty slick compared to all the "shiny" we have today.

There will always be problems, but the idea that to solve the problems we should use Yet Another Cool Library/Language is just incorrect. Sometimes its good to refactor/rewrite, but often the rewrite is just as bad (or worse) as the old thing. You should have a very compelling reason to do so (at least for large scale rewrites, removing tech debt is OK).
Give Linux a try. After seeing how ad-centered Windows 11 has become, I made the decision to wipe my drive and go full Linux, and I couldn't be happier. Is it perfect? No. Is it better for my workflow and caters to my more advanced usage? A big resounding yes.

It cannot replace Microsoft Office, but it's getting close. Most people don't use the full functionality of Microsoft Office, so LibreOffice and Google's online suite are good enough, but I still keep a remote Windows Virtual Machine (VM) around for those time I need Windows-specific stuff and RDP into the VM. I look forward to the day Microsoft finally wakes up and ports Microsoft Office to Linux.

> The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination. As President Lyndon B. Johnson said in 1965, “You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say, ‘You are free to compete with all the others,’ and still justly believe that you have been completely fair.” As U.S. Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun wrote in 1978, “In order to get beyond racism, we must first take account of race. There is no other way. And in order to treat some persons equally, we must treat them differently.

You can do broadcasting with a tensor, at least for products and sums. The product is multilinear, and a sum can be in two steps, first step using a tensor to implement fanout. Though I can see the value in representing structure that can be used more efficiently versus just another box for a tensor. Beyond that (softmax?) seems kind of awkward since you're outside the domain of your "domain specific language". I don't know why it's needed to extend the matrix cookbook to tensor diagrams.
Okay, but that still begs the obvious question: what was immoral about it?
Ish. Yes, if everyone in your company (of a significant size) is the same, then that is a fail.

However, the solution is not to force people into roles they are unqualified for. It's to find the ways to make the role more attractive to different demographics.

And it's not going to apply in all cases. Would you apply it to NBA teams?
Ask HN: YC is looking to fund these AI startups, would you build one?
YC has recently published a list of startup ideas they are interested in funding. You can check it out here: https://www.ycombinator.com/rfs. What do you think about it, and would you consider developing one of these ideas?
I think it's a cool project even though I have no interest in downloading and running it, but it's a technological curiosity that might yield some insight of other things.

If you're so hell-bent on knowing what differentiates Fiwix from xv6 why don't you download the projects and compare them? You shouldn't be asking others to do your work for you, or to justify their choices and actions to you.
Apparently Mayorkas didn't have to execute the laws if he didn't want to and moreover got to decide if he wanted to subvert them as well by granting asylum to whomever asked as well as providing transport, guidance, etc., etc.

Democrats make people upset by not applying laws --all the thievery etc that AGs went light on, etc., and the Republicans make people upset by applying laws to a greater extent (being tougher on crime and deportations --though Obama wasn't a laggard in the latter either)

Go enums are the same as in every single other language. After all, all an enum does is count. There isn't anything more you can do with it.

You can introduce data structures and types that utilize enums, with some languages taking that idea further than others, but that's well beyond enums themselves.

Online the idea of "no politics" is often used as a way to try to stifle / silence discussion too. It's disturbingly fitting to the Gemini example.

I was a part of a nice small forum online. Most posts were everyday life posts / personal. The person who ran it seemed well meaning. Then a "no politics" rule appeared. It was fine for a while. I understood what they meant and even I only want so much outrage in my small forums.

Yet one person posted about how their plans to adopt were in jeopardy over their state's new rules about who could adopt what child. This was a deeply important and personal topic for that individual.

As you can guess the "no politics" rule put a stop to that. The folks who supported laws like were being proposed of course thought that they shouldn't discuss it because it is "politics", others felt that this was that individual talking about their rights and life, it wasn't "just politics". Whole forum fell apart after that debacle.

Gemini's response here is sadly fitting internet discourse... in bad way.
Many of your small producers are not counting their full costs. They see they $ from selling eggs, but don't count the cost of the barn, their labor, the land the chickens are on... A real accountant would find all those hidden costs and figure out how you allocate the cost of the light bulbs in the barn to each chicken - only when you have all those numbers can you really see if it works out.
Why don't you just sell the car? seems silly imho
My point is that the popular vote is misdirection no matter who uses it, people weren't voting to get the most votes nationally and strategy reflects that. It focuses people on a thing that doesn't matter to push a narrative.

The only votes that matter are the votes of the State. It may still not be "overwhelming" at 58% (312 out of 538) but pretending that wasn't the result only serves to muddy the water.
Yes, and Accelerationism predicted this development back in the 1990s, perhaps most prominently in the opening lines of Nick Land's Meltdown (1994) text:

[[ ]] The story goes like this: Earth is captured by a technocapital singularity as renaissance rationalization and oceanic navigation lock into commoditization take-off. Logistically accelerating techno-economic interactivity crumbles social order in auto-sophisticating machine runaway. As markets learn to manufacture intelligence, politics modernizes, upgrades paranoia, and tries to get a grip.

> reasoning models which do AI research

In the introduction to my research project on Accelerationism [0], I write:

Faced with the acceleration of progress in Artificial Intelligence (AI) — with AI agents now automating AI research and development —, Accelerationism no longer seems like an abstract philosophy producing empty hyperstitional hype, but like a sober description of reality. The failed 2023 memorandum to stop AI development on systems more powerful than OpenAI's ChatGPT-4 perfectly illustrates the phenomenological aspects of Accelerationism: "To be rushed by the phenomenon, to the point of terminal institutional paralysis, is the phenomenon." [1]

At the current rate of acceleration, if you don't write hyperstitionally, your texts are dead on arrival.

>It's unfortunate people expect you to have social media like a girl asks me if I have Instagram and I'm weird to not have one

Outside of reddit/discord/hn, I haven't had any social media since roughly 2010, and I don't use reddit or discord for anything remotely "social media"-ish.

While I still get the occasional look as if I'm wearing a tinfoil hat when I say "I don't have FB. No, no insta either. No... not snapchat either", I find it's a lot less common now, thankfully. When I first left social media in ~2010, it was rough. Not only dating scene wise, but I lost out on a few job opportunities (at least a few, probably more than I know) as well.

Now you're just considered kind of weird/fringe, instead of being borderline insane. Moving (slowly) in the right direction, I think.
Absolutely terrible. I had to wait 2 months to get my Model S in for routine service. The day after, the battery pack heater failed and the vehicle would no longer fast DC charge. I was told it would be another 2 months until the vehicle could be looked at. I bought the part myself (1038901-00-K) and replaced it for ~$200 (requiring me to learn and perform the HV pack isolation procedure). Do not recommend.
"you should just do X" generally means you don't have the full picture. You're completely disregarding all the union stuff that needs to be considered. You're forgetting all the little guys that make movies happen. Yeah the directors and actors probably don't care, but the other 100s of other people involved in making films probably do.

Edit: You're right. Just disregard any laws and contracts in place. HN knows best. It must be that easy.

This isn't true in the AI chip space (yet). And so much of this isn't just about compute but about the memory.
COVID would likely have a bigger hand in the current issues than mistakes from 10-15 years ago though.

I found it somewhat puzzling we discuss ATC staffing and don't mention it:

> When training at the academy resumed in July 2020, after the four-month shutdown, class sizes were cut in half to meet the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s social distancing guidelines.

> The pandemic hit controller hiring and training hard with on-the-job training for developmental controllers significantly dropping at facilities, resulting in delayed certification. In fiscal year 2021, the controller hiring target was dropped from 910 to 500.

> Since then, the FAA has been working to restore the training pipeline to full capacity. The agency’s Controller Workforce 2023/2032 Plan had a hiring target of 1,020 in FY 2022 (actual hires were 1,026) and 1,500 in FY 2023. The is set to increase to 1,800 in the current fiscal year.
I don't know why you keep repeating this everywhere. It is not a sure thing. And legality has no bearing anymore.
I'm not disputing your personal experience, but I've worked on numerous science-related NIH grants over the past decade and the vast majority of performers were white (sometimes asian) males (myself included).

> The institutions, already, were self sabotaging, doling out tons of taxpayer money, not to the best ideas, but to labs that had a few women of various colors other than white working in them.

I'm calling this complete BS.
We’re not reliably feeding 340M people eggs right now, either. The current system has significant friction points and deadweight loss.
But it also takes very little effort or cost... It's effectively free money at their scale.. no bandwidth fees, no storage, no user membership, etc... it's hard to sell a pile of junk no one wants to watch in a subscription too -- okay that might be harsh, but a LOT of old stuff is do do hard to watch nowadays...

I had to give up news altogether before I could notice this, but yeah, news exists for the sole purpose of creating outrage in order to generate ad impressions. When you get outraged by one story, you’re more likely to click on the next related headline. We’re destroying our society so we can make less than a penny per page.
Honestly though, what were they even "protesting" about? If you say against a rigged election, you need way more than "I think it happened" you need evidence - which they tried very hard to find and never did, not to mention the supposed election rigger left office 4 years later, much more peacefully and smoothly than Trump did. I dont even understand what the hell they were supposed to be mad about, what was he trying to do if not overturn the election?
What information was withheld? I hadn't heard national security invoked in this context before.
The point is that iPhone users try to use
iMessage, and right now apple's weird SMS
integration with it makes them accidentally
use SMS and get annoyed.

I disagree that the "annoyed" people are "trying to use iMessage." I think they're just trying to message their friends. They are annoyed because the only common protocol supported by all parties in the conversation kind of sucks sometimes.

Apple has made the correct set of trade offs. If you just want to send a text message and don't care about the particulars you can do that and you'll automagically get the best possible experience based on the best lowest common denominator protocol whether it is iMessage, RCS, or SMS.

And if you and your buddies are savvy enough to want more than that you can install Signal or Whatsapp or whatever.

But that baseline out-of-the-box experience for mobile phones has always been "if I have somebody's number I can text/call them using my phone's out-of-the-box functionality and the network sorts out the details."

I think it's kind of nuts to throw that in the trash and you don't appreciate what a huge step backwards that would be for most of the people who buy and use phones.

Also, would you not agree that out of the box E2EE is a huge deal!?

But the keys and key exchange protocol for E2EE have to be managed by somebody. Signal, Google, Apple, whoever.
