Impressive. Have you seen any success with Mastra being used to build voice agents? Our company has been experimenting with VAPI, which just launched a workflow builder into open beta (https://docs.vapi.ai/workflows), but it has a lot of rough edges.
Why is that? Light duty trucks and SUVs outsell cars in the US. They are comfortable to ride in, have better leg room and head room, and have a heavier duty frame that enables them to haul and tow more as needed. You can fit a plow on many trucks as well in snowy regions.

Electrifying them has only upsides with the exception of road weight and range, but I'm repeatedly told that's not a problem for cars anymore.

Granted, the F150 lightning hasn't done well compared to Ford's expectations, which might say a lot about the reality of range concerns (especially when towing).
Any object that approaches the Solar System from interstellar space is necessarily moving at least (solar) escape velocity. It's "falling down" into the Solar System's gravity by a distance equal to how far it has to "climb up" to get away in a system with little appreciable friction.

The paper assumes 100 km/s, which is more than double the solar escape velocity at Earth's orbit. The mass doesn't make a difference in the absence of friction and assuming it is much less than the primary body; escape velocity depends only on the mass of the primary.

There would be some "friction" (since the hole would be eating up small amounts of mass on its journey and that mass would be moving at less than solar escape velocity), but without doing any calculations I'm almost certain it's nowhere close to enough to slow it down.
Agree. I have seen same thing where many people maintain a home grown crap called kitchen and think they can do better job than getting ready meal from restaurant.

Yep! I think these tools are incredibly useful, but I think they're basically changing all our jobs to be more like what product managers do, having ideas for what we want to achieve, but farming out a significant chunk of the work rather than doing it ourselves. And that's fine, I find it very hard to argue that it's a bad thing. But there's a reason that we aren't all product managers already. Programming is fun, and I do experience it as a loss to find myself doing less of it myself.

> This is different from something we have already solved, and you just need to throw money on it to scale it to whichever level you need it.

We can already do fusion, and by every metric it is scaling. Triple product is increasing, etc.

Fusion does not become a viable source of energy until it scales beyond a certain point, but there is no "leap" between here and there that we know about, just better and better containment. We are descending a gradient, not looking for one.

If we had never managed to get fusion outside, say, hydrogen bombs, then I'd agree that we have no idea how to do it, but we have -- using many methods. Tokamaks seem to be the best one for scaling it so far, but there's other possibilities that I wish we would research more.

In GM's defense, the deal with Nikola didn't really cost them anything. It only damaged their reputation. Some other clueless investors then assumed that GM had done due diligence before signing the agreement, which was never the case.
I've been using a free file explorer called Q-Dir (http://www.q-dir.com) by a guy who writes a lot of these types of utilities for windows. It has a quirky UI and it has 4 quadrants by default, but once I got used to using it, it was almost life-changing. It is compatible with every windows, even windows 98. It's updated fairly frequently, even till now.

FFS. I read it and learned something. Stop jousting windmills just because they seem like propellers on warplanes that are coming for you. Sometimes they are just windmills.
Shattered mine mountain biking as well (6 pieces). Ortho took one look at it and scheduled surgery for the next day. It wasn't a 'standard' break since it included my AC joint and coracoclavicular ligaments which needed a special type of plate. Ultimately it took 2 surgeries (ORIF, then plate removal). Total recovery was 9 months. My arm/shoulder is as strong as it was before, and it looks anatomically correct.

My shoulder immediately felt "better" after ORIF. I would suggest it if it's way out of whack... mine was drooping probably 2". I can't imagine how much it would suck if the bones healed that way.

> Again, if you didn't want to accept that risk you could have just sold the stocks instead of taking a loan.

I could have reasons for not wanting to sell it. Maybe I don't want to boost up my income for the year and be subject to even more taxes or loss of benefits (i.e. ACA). Or maybe I want to keep the dividend stream.

It any case it's already overcomplicated, and I don't think we need to make it moreso by giving the govt another opportunity to take yet another slice of a transaction they had nothing to do with.

Not to mention, the lender that gave me a loan has to give the govt a slice of their income, which comes from me.

The difference is that houses rarely lose 100% of their value. Normally they hold their value or thereabouts.
Ask HN: What's your experience with Open Telekom Cloud?

They're happening. And they're not getting much media coverage. It may be that we're at the point where this isn't an effective tactic.
Dell has this problem sometimes. I remember getting the first batch one of their older servers when they were new. We had to replace motherboards' I/O (rear) section because the servers lost some devices on that part (e.g.: Ethernet controllers, iDRAC, sometimes BIOS) for some time. After shaking out these problems, they ran for almost a decade.

We recently retired them because we worn down everything on these servers. From RAID cards to power regulators. Rebooting a perfectly running server due to a configuration change and losing the RAID card forever because electron migration erode a trace inside the RAID processor is a sobering experience.

Crude oil is the stuff that comes directly out of the ground. That wasn't an export ban on refined oil. The rule was a protectionist measure at the behest of US refineries. This is the money quote:

> We found that repealing the ban was associated with:

> ...

> Decreasing profit margins for petroleum refiners as they paid more for domestic crude oil relative to international prices

The US is a net exporter of oil. That doesn't mean they're not importing a ton of it and then exporting even more, e.g. because the Northeast is closer to Canada than Texas so New York uses a lot of oil from Canada and then the gulf states export to other countries.

Changing that in the long-term would raise prices (higher transportation costs, less competition) and changing it in the short-term (i.e. in immediate response to a foreign supply shock) would raise prices significantly because of short-term logistical issues. Also, to the extent that it lowered relative prices, the difference would come out of the profits of US oil companies and increase the profits of their foreign competitors as customers in the EU and other places experience even more of a shortage. "Piss off your allies and domestic industry to the benefit of foreign adversaries" is usually not a winning strategy.

Meanwhile those sorts of export bans will leak like a sieve anyway. Even without formally violating them, you'll see things like energy-intensive industries moving production to the place with cheaper energy until the cross-border price stabilizes, which means higher prices outside the US would lead to higher demand (and thus higher prices) within the US.

It's a global commodity market and you don't even want it to be otherwise.

> I imagine that they would not prefer office, if they're the only person in the entire floor.

I am often the only person in the office, as I am today, but I like it; the commute is a pleasant half-hour's walk, and I appreciate the clear separation between work and home life. I have a large comfortable desk here, with a killer view of the city; I genuinely prefer this to working from home. (This is convenient because my wife, also a software engineer, strongly prefers the home office.)

On the other hand, I once spent seven years working from home before this was a common thing, despite the money I could have saved if I'd moved to the lower-cost-of-living city where company HQ was located, because I just didn't want to. I liked my life as it was, and I couldn't stand the idea of a car commute.
The earlier times tried and failed with that fear based approach. Worked about as well as D.A.R.E. I hope Manu schools learned by now that you can't just turn off a teenager's sexual curiosity and that casting it off as taboo only strengthens such curiosity.

You're not trying to sway people away from internet porn, you're telling people how sex actually works in reality. My teachers taught about the basic biology of genetalia (especially wrt sexual function), how to perform safe sex, STD's, Pregnancy, and school resources (we had condoms at the nurses office, for example).

I feel those are the basics needs everyone should he taught. A decent teacher would also have an open Q&A about sex and help in dispelling any potentially bad notions learned from elsewhere. The best lessons come from.those who seek knowledge themselves.

It's not perfect. I wish my education also taught more about genetalia care (there's still so so much misinformation about foreskin) and dove more into what consent actually is (that was more in college). But the point was to counter balance whatever people was seeing on the internet, not necessarily demonize it. Just like how understanding how to calculate probability can change your approach to gambling, learning more about your body and other humans' behavior can change your approach to how you interpret porn online. Even if people continue to consume it after being educated.
Ultimately, the first line is really resonated with me:

"When I get to write or read on a screen that’s reflecting the sun back at me instead of needing to be shielded from it, I get a dose of this feeling that this is what all computing could feel like. I want so much more of this in my life."

I have the DC-1, and where I've used it in direct sunlight, it's a great feeling. However... it's rare that this matters. But... it's winter. And so I'm inside because it's f*king cold out. I'm holding onto hope that this will bring me outside to read and note take a bit more eventually.

My iPad is still king for my "tablet computing". Especially note taking, drawing, design tasks (like CAD), casual gaming and entertainment consumption. I don't see the DC-1 replacing my iPad use any time soon. The app ecosystem, screen, sound, etc, are just not good enough to replace my iPad. Frankly, I just don't see anything that can really compete with the iPad, which sucks, because I feel like Apple continues to underestimate what the iPad could be. (It should be more like a mac and not like a phone. The hardware can do this, the software can not.)

... but anyhow, the DC-1 makes me excited to be able to, say, go to the park and read and note a design doc. Etc. Like, this device could be a lifestyle changer... when it's nice out. Or it might be a device I read documents on and take notes on the iPad. This is a second use case I'm just starting to figure out.

So I'm going to keep onto mine, and I'm optimistic and excited. But it's early.

They design the chip that powers the phone. Apple designs their chips to include exactly the IO they need, and nothing more. The A18 chip does not have the IO to support USB-3 speeds on the port. No A18 device supports USB 3 speeds.

It's maddening but it is a question of cost; it's just pennies, and Apple is for sure not passing on the savings to us.

Forklift is the one I settled on as well. I had the experience you describe with Path Finder before and finally I gave up.

Forklift has a couple of things that annoy me daily though. Often I will have to refresh a pane to see a file I know has recently been added. Eg in downloads. I may even have navigated to downloads after the download finished and it's still not visible until I refresh.

The other is that it doesn't reuse existing tabs if I "reveal in finder" or whatever, so after a while there's a million tabs open, most pointing to the same directory.
Agreed. Apple wouldn’t tolerate anything but the faintest of lines down exactly the middle of the screen.
Yeah. Very true on all counts.

I really don’t want to leave Apples ecosystem but when my phone is due for renewal later this year, I’d seriously consider switching to Android if it meant getting a foldable screen.
I would like to think HN readers know. It seems like every thread about modern vehicles people here wax on about how unsafe and terrible for the user modern car dashboards and controls are. It isn’t a long jump to go from understanding wanting physical controls in a commuter vehicle, to wanting physical controls in your vehicles that are driven full-time and require additional licensing.

After reviewing thousands of resumes in my career, I realized most people can’t spot their own cringe-worthy phrases (looking at you, “synergy ninja”). So I trained an AI on hiring manager feedback and 10k+ resumes to create Lovelace Resume Roaster – a tool that:

- Flags ATS-unfriendly formatting (RIP Comic Sans)
- Suggests concrete improvements backed by recruiter data
- Delivers feedback with snarky humor (think Gordon Ramsay reviews your PDF)
