I own a MacBook Pro and an iPhone (and other Apple devices which have cellular modems in them: an iPad and an Apple Watch). The tethering is flaky and burns two batteries at once while adding latency. I want an always on Internet connection like I can get with a Dell laptop.

The Qualcomm royalty agreement has been the problem, as they reportedly get a fraction of total device cost.

How my cellular provider bills me for it is irrelevant.
nah ai killed stupid tech interviews. you can easily get an idea of someones competence by literally just talking to them instead of making them do silly homework exercises and testing their rote memorisation abilities.
VR is not usable if it's not ultralight on account of the physical pain the weight of the headset causes. Of course the AVP is the worst for this as it's made of metal and glass.
And these sorts of people should need to be confirmed by the Senate, but of course Trump is not going to do that.
We finally got ours sorted out.

Address is wrong (old location), and I submitted old documents (pre-acquisition articles of incorporation and sales tax filings to satisfy their inane requirements), but got our app back into the EU store.

Might check documents collected through the due diligence phase to see if you can dig up things that match.

At least I was able to get us back in the store, and now I have a longer timeline to figure out how to get the information corrected, or transition the app to their account.
There is some paperwork now in that you have to register your flock. I dread the day though that we are told to kill our hens because of an outbreak.

It was bad enough keeping them undercover for one winter.
It took me a moment to figure it out too.
Potential solutions:

- Make it easy to systematically unfollow people (or degrade them to a different tier, see below, or sort them automatically into a different feed; maybe even allow automatic following of certain people, like your cities mayor or local ice cream parlors). Like based on recent activity, last engagement with a post, type of content (pictures, videos, links ...), on a schedule (e.g. follow for 3 yeard, follow until 2028), special status (family, friends, member of congress, member of city council, mayor...), number/ratio of common followers, regex expressions, recommendations by certain accounts, letter-to-word ratio, season, planetary alignment, weather, age, train departure time, side-chaing based on other accounts, force accounts to play russian unfollow roulette, urgency to pee, healthcare CEO life expectancy derivative, ... or any combination of these.

- Allow different tiers of following someone. Like friends (never unfollow, always fetch updates), family (never unfollow, rate limit high-energy uncles), news (filter based on urgency or current topics of interest), politicians (highlight as untrustworthy, attach link to donation and board membership disclosure, attach term-limit and next election countdown), local businesses (hard rate limit, attach opening hours), bookmark (never unfollow, no updates), ... maybe multiple tiers in each category and allow those being followed to either temporarily boost their tier (or tiers of certain posts) or e.g. once per year.

- Allow people from exempting some of their posts from not being shown to some of their followers. E.g. two per week and an additional 5 per month.

- Allow people to choose which followers should be given a higher priority when writing posts to their feeds.
SF has pretty much the best weather there is to drive in. Try putting them on Minnesota winter roads, or muddy roads in Kansas for example.

Mushrooms are “fruits”. The “plant” itself is the mycelium underground and the mushroom is the “fruity” part which is produced to spread the “seeds” (spores).

And fruits are broader than most people think. Many of the things you think as vegetables are fruits: pumpkins, zucchinis, tomatoes. But even outside fruits there is food you can harvest without harming the plant, like potatoes. And we haven’t even gotten into seeds and grains, like rice.

So you can definitely live without killing what you eat.
Satya Nadella on Knowledge Work
Data center SSDs quote idle power much lower than active power, and lower than HDD too. Data centers care plenty about power consumption.
The quote I was referring to as “flatly wrong” is repeated above. Nowhere there or in the original post are the phrases “quasi-legislative” or “quasi-judicial”. Instead a much more general claim is made that the Congress’ power to constrain acts of the Executive is unlimited because they write the laws. That’s not at all how our system works.

The oral arguments in Selia Law v. CFPB may be enlightening here:

This is also why I'm flabbergasted that a lot of people seem to be dismissing all of this with words like "we survived his first term, the second will be no different". It is different! Incredibly different!

It seemed like Trump was genuinely surprised he won the first time. They were completely unprepared. But now they are very, very prepared, and they know exactly who to put in various positions in government, people who will never balk at what Trump wants to do.

Eggs are still pretty cheap in the UK, free range ones for £1.50 or so.
Yes, it happens. Somebody just shot up a Tesla dealership (that had recently also suffered an arson attempt), probably radicalised by online rhetoric.

But on the other hand, regimes that crack down aggressively on speech don't tend to end up on the 'right side of history' either.
I think that taking political speeches at face value was flawed anyway, so. Maybe someone will finally get tired of this circus and invents Bitrule somehow.
In kafka, if you require the highest durability for messages, you configure multiple nodes on different hosts, and probably data centres, and you require acks=all. I'd say this is the thing that pushes latency up, rather than the code execution of kafka itself.

How does redpanda compare under those constraints?
I think you demonstrated that eggs taste different, but not better.

"Pick Place Hotdog Sausage" is such a bizarre name, though. Is it meant to be human readable? AI-readable? Just a label for the researchers? Same with "Put Mushroom Place Pot". As far as I can see both labels are only used in this Magma paper, nowhere else that Google can find.
I would take it down a notch.

It is more about just synthesized at lab not „novel untested”.

Like you can have bread from four, water, yeast that no one would call „chemicals” - even though yeast nowadays is highly engineered.

That's a bit ironic given leftist claims that men can become women and vice-versa.
I assumed that from the first picture this game would consist of counting the number of folks in a row looking at their phones at a given time.

Ask HN: Self hosted blogging software with math typesetting?
I'm looking to start a self-hosted blog that might have some math and code fragments in it. I've reviewed the usual suspects such as ghost and the rest of the awesome-selfhosted list on github, but math typesetting (for example in latex format) hasn't been prominently mentioned as a feature in any of them. Am I getting worked up over nothing because everybody knows you can do that with markdown or some kind of plugin for ghost? Rolling my own with mathjax or whatever wouldn't be out of the question. What would you recommend?
Do you mean to say that the lack of expertise, conflicts of interest and lack of adequate security clearances are not considered as disqualifying factors for a US government employment?
My friend would spend summers at the family farm, and the youngest kids would be issued a rabbit as a pet for the duration. They'd then make the kids watch the rabbits be slaughtered and cleaned, and serve them up at the end of the vacation...

> More broadly, the Supreme Court has made clear that the Constitution imposes important limits on Congress’s [and the President’s] ability to influence or control the actions of officers once they are appointed.

Improved on that, just a tad, for this discussions context. Not disagreeing.

Without that balance Congress couldn’t delegate anything with any expectation of its will being carried out.

And the President couldn’t ensure the agency acted competently and with respect to the President’s good faith understanding of the agency’s guiding laws.

With the courts ready to step in to settle any differences.

Agencies can only work reliably with the differing participations and limitations of all three roles.

As with all expressions of law.
Musk has basically discovered that you can ignore existing laws, since by the time lawyers sue and courts order injunctions, it'll be too late and too expensive. Especially when lawyers can argue against basic facts like "Musk doesn't head DOGE". It's the same playbook as the twitter layoffs - when you are so rich, you don't need to care about laws.
I'm in a never-ending cycle of wanting to find a better monospace font, spending countless hours looking through various alternatives and coming back to the one I'm currently using.

After using Ubuntu Mono for many many years I've switched to IBM Plex Mono and basically can't find a better font for me. At this point it's like my eyes are so used to this font I could never use anything else, despite the fact that my brain wants to try something new. So it's my default choice for any monospace font that I can set up.
I don't think paying in crypto increases trust for the regular Joe, maybe Alice and Bob will be more likely to join. This would select a very narrow crowd and skew your results massively.

This is one of those things that someone pointed out to me, I agreed with them and have since tried to avoid saying "just do ...", "why not just ...", etc.

However, that means I now really notice it from others. sigh
That might sound incredibly foreign to you, but this is the norm in many Nordic countries, see Norway, Sweden and Finland, for a start. Tax returns for everyone are public, and so are addresses through a national registry.
Same, the UK government definitely needs a similar audit.
The conversation is about the necessity of killing what you eat. Those slugs have nothing to do with either argument nor were they a necessary casualty.
Same goes for meniscus injuries in the knee (excluding probably things like bucket handle tears that risk further damage with use).

Tore my right meniscus in a skateboarding accident, was recommended keyhole surgery to shave it down but due to being fresh out of university and starting my career I couldn't be bothered to deal with the downtime of surgery etc. Figured I'd deal with it later if it got worse / didn't improve.

And you know what, after 24 months or so of limping about I was pretty much completely recovered and ten years later the knee is still in good shape. Meniscus injuries do heal, they just take a very long time and most surgeons/patients just don't have the patience for rehab. All-in-all no regrets.

I think clinical guidelines are actually swinging back to conservative treatment now. Kind of a reminder about how poorly evidence based surgery can sometimes be (but of course like any tool also a lifesaver).
The motion to block DOGE has also been dismissed by courts

Nobody complained about "unelected" Obama or Biden appointees accessing the treasury or SSN, but now that Trump is exposing corruption en-masse and stopping the gravy train, many folks are suddenly very concerned. The FUD is unfortunately not working.

All this will probably go to the Supreme Court. And just like Biden ignored the Supreme Court ruling on student loans and even boasted about it proudly on twitter - saying they cannot block the executive, the precedent was also setup for Trump to do the same.
They're doing it by executive order because they don't have the votes to do it in congress with their slim majority.
> The numbers being thrown around are suspect, the paper they published didn't reveal the costs of all models nor the R&D cost it took to develop them.

did any lab release such figure? will be interesting to see.
I don’t think shame is the obstacle; it’s that for many, a break like this is financially straining or outright impossible.
Yes. Now look up Humphreys Executor which is mentioned in the next sentence after the sentence you quoted in Wikipedia.

It limits that power when it comes to the quasi-legislative agencies.

That was the unambiguous law of the land for nearly 100 years until the current court whittled down the exclusion in Seila in 2020.
And robots will not do that either, what if the employee used hearing to determine if there is a hazard (another moving vehicle around) before jumping to pick a pallet? How would the robot know by just “looking”? How to prioritise visuals, audio, sense … etc?
> or are just inherently anti-Musk

The dude made a Nazi salute in public in broad daylight. So yes, I'm inherently anti-Musk because I'm inherently anti-Nazi because Nazis are inherently anti human rights and anti basic freedoms.
You can. Or at least Apple can (for which they’ll charge you $80 or so). Sure, you can’t “hot swap” during the day, but if you like the size, it seems well worth the expense to get a new battery installed.
It makes sense if someone likes chickens in general but doesn't care much about any individual chicken.
If I may ask: what problem does this solve?
Here is my prediction...I know nobody asked for it :-) But they are only fun if you make them before the events...A massive, unpriced risk looms over financial markets... Its scale defies prediction.

The current administration’s safeguards are faltering, running like a government still in FSD beta. With U.S. debt dismissed as “just debt,” inflationary tariffs in play, and an emergency Fed rate hike imminent, shockwaves are inevitable.

Deficit panic may soon lead to manipulated figures and a narrative bent to suit unstable agendas. The bond market’s credibility will collapse, making the Liz Truss debacle seem trivial compared to the turmoil expected over the next two years.

Even the most sophisticated hedge funds and quants can’t quantify an administration gone off the rails... But just look at the current price of gold...

> The German parliament amended two laws on June 10th granting enhanced surveillance powers to segments of the federal police and intelligence services. They allow the use of spyware to hack into phones and computers circumventing encryption used by messaging applications such as WhatsApp and Signal, raising concerns about the right to privacy.

> The new federal police law allows interception of communications of “persons against whom no suspicion of a crime has yet been established and therefore no criminal procedure measure can yet be ordered”. This fails to ensure the necessary protection against unjustified and arbitrary interference in people’s privacy, required under international law. Human Rights Watch and the United Nations have pointed out the importance of encryption and anonymity for data protection and the right to privacy.

Talent is not something you can just freely pick up from your local Walmart.
Serious question to those who are cheering for the 'elimination of waste'. What do you expect to happen to the money thus saved? In what ways do you expect those savings to benefit you or the broader citizenry?
It's a bit more murky and nuanced than that, though.

What is executive power? Well, it's what the constitution says it is. But a lot of things in the executive branch aren't spelled out in the constitution. A more strict interpretation of it (one that SCOTUS seems to be moving toward, at least when it's convenient to achieve conservative policy goals) is that Congress should not be delegating so much rulemaking power to the executive branch.

So let's say you're the SEC. You're an executive branch agency, but you essentially write laws. You get to write those laws because Congress delegated that power in some reasonably specific ways unique to your agency. So who do you really report to? Nominally, day to day, seems like the president. But you only exist because of an act of Congress. Congress can dissolve you tomorrow if it wants to. Congress can also give you more power and more latitude (within some limits, of course). So while you report to the president, you're accountable to Congress. That might mean that the president isn't allowed to fire your people without cause, if Congress specified so.

That's not an interference of executive power if the power you wield actually flows from the legislative branch.
> I expected people to answer no. You can't come up with a name in a day! However, over half the people I have asked have said they have a name right now.

I don't think that's surprising, and it doesn't meant that people are okay with or blasé about killing people. Like, arguably this is just the trolley problem rephrased; there exist people whose death would clearly be a vast net benefit and would save many other lives. So is it okay to kill them? It's not an easy question.

I think it's more or less unrelated to the issue of killing one's own chickens; there is no such thing as an evil chicken who death will save thousands.
Erewhon is probably THEE most expensive place lol
Not enough exit nodes.
They are, and you don’t kill them or harm them to eat the things they produce with the purpose of being eaten and spread. If you want to engage in the conversation, please make an effort to do so in good faith and actually address the arguments. If you’re only going to make basic queries everyone already agrees with, we’re just wasting time and space.

Candidate would be compensated, obviously. That's why it's expensive.

You don't need him to become efficient. Also I don't think it is always necessary to have such long onboarding. I'll never understand why a new hire (at least in senior position) can't start contributing after a week.
Keep local copies of your data as well. I use USB drives.

So far every service I use has a way to download my data. I have been backing them up 4 times a year for several years now. Obviously big stuff which won't change needs to be handled differently to active stuff.
That's straight from the TV trope book, this is how movies/shows portray Evil Organization training ruthless spy assassins (except usually it's a dog, and they have to kill it themselves).
"The Trump administration’s efforts to impose its will on the federal workforce through mass firings, funding freezes and communication blackouts is hampering the ability of public health professionals to respond to the growing threat of avian flu.

It's possible to use MathJax on HTML pages like this:

Inside the HEAD tag:

<HEAD>
<TITLE>Whatever your title might be</TITLE>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<script type="text/x-mathjax-config">
MathJax.Hub.Config({tex2jax: {inlineMath: [['$','$']]}});
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" async
src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.5/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS_SVG">
</script>
</HEAD>

Then inside the body you can put things like this:

Find a value $v$ such that
$$\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\frac{1}{x}(v^x-1) = 1$$.

So if you can use plugins to insert this sort of thing, you're done.

I couldn't find anything online about it but some old guy in a youtube video talked about them using chickens to heat houses long ago.

They build the chicken coop against the house with a very thin wall between it and the living room.

Chickens have 41-42°C body temperature. (105-107°F) With a bit of help from fermenting poop they sit very close together and heat up the coop until it gets to hot. One chicken will go outside and walk around in the snow.

The otherwise isolated living room acts like a buffer, they gradually heat it up and it helps stabilize the coop.

I've never seen this thing in action but the old man said it worked really well. I also have no idea how many chickens were used. It would require a breed that does well in cold climate. Today people put electric heaters in the chicken coop.

If it really works that well, combined with the eggs, it could make it profitable.
I did not refer to the talent directly contributing to the technical progress.

P.S. - clarification: I mean not referring to talent at OpenAI.
And yes I have very little doubt talent at DeepSeek is a lot cheaper than the things I listed above for OpenAI.
I would be interested in a breakdown of the cost of OpenAI and seeing if even their technical talent costs more than the things I mentioned.
Oddly, right now I'm seeing a lot of federal workers in the US talking about how they've struggled for years to get into positions where the mission they serve is deeply important to them, so much so that they'd pass over private sector work and did just that.
I tried the low tech version first, and one night forgot to close the coop and brother fox killed all the chicken.

Also chicken are not particularly smart, so switching on light to lure them in when it’s getting dark is very useful.
It's insane to me that this even has to be pointed out with such a relatively simple page, and then I looked at the source; it screams "I'm gonna just bang something out in [popular framework] without knowing basic HTML/CSS and let the world suffer from my <div> rot."

I hate modern web development.
