My guess is that not many people are using it on the iPhone (of which Apple is selling five times as many as iPads, hence they started with that), so they extrapolated that an iPad version isn’t worth it.

Or maybe it’s just general Apple dysfunction. It took them 14 years to port the Calculator app after all.
This looks really good. As a happy ergodox-ez user of a few years, I would buy one of these in a heartbeat.
Will an older Magic keyboard, that went with an iPad Air of a previous generation, work with these new iPad Airs?

That is not really the case.

Nuclear power is extremely cost effective, even with the current plants.

The individual plants are currently expensive, because they are large and produce huge amounts of power. Since that means you only have a fairly small number of plants, that means the risk is higher than preferable.

However, even with existing designs, building a common design multiple times and overlapping the build times brings down risk, build-time and costs tremendously.

The German Konvois were built for DM 5.8 billion in less than 6 years, and we were just getting started.

China is currently building their version of the passively safe Westinghouse AP-1000, the CAP-1400, in 5 years for $ 3.5 billion.
Do you really have to wonder? It's a huge win for the US. The comments would rightfully be calling it a huge win for the US.
> For instance, Mozilla said it may have removed blanket claims that it never sells user data because the legal definition of “sale of data” is now “broad and evolving,” Mozilla’s blog post stated.

> The company pointed to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as an example of why the language was changed, noting that the CCPA defines “sale” as the “selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer’s personal information by [a] business to another business or a third party” in exchange for “monetary” or “other valuable consideration.”

Wow, I'm actually stunned that Mozilla straight-up admits that they're selling user data here and that's why they removed that language.

Good for them for being honest. Bad on them for selling user data.
100%. It's a powerhouse for drawing.
I guess OP's question is: If you need a million layers, and gigantic amounts of CPU and RAM, why aren't you working on a desktop workstation? I also had a hard time believing there's a real niche that tablets fill, but hey, they've been with us for years, so clearly somebody's buying them.
I grew up in council housing built during this period. It's not exactly premium but it was built fairly well and they sold well when many of them eventually made it onto the private market many decades later. Good sized gardens and I remember the council doing necessary repairs and upgrades throughout my time there.

I'm not exactly familiar with buildings from ex-soviet eastern Europe but I'd be surprised if it was a much higher build quality.
It's almost like he was once investigated for being a Russian agent motivated by Kompromat. I'm sure it has nothing to do with being a friend of Epstein and showing up in the manifests or Russian prostitutes with water sports or the 13 year old who sued him for raping her, not dissimilar from the civil lawsuit where he was found guilty for raping another woman, not dissimilar from him bragging he can just sexual assault any woman he wants.
> Not so much. (This response seems to repeat, please refrain from ignoring details in such bold claim.)

I said what I meant; feel free to disagree but this policing is pretty condescending. I don't need to constantly repeat that the fundamental data format is lifted from MP and the extra features/process Bormann added on top of it are uniformly poorly thought out.

Just like CBOR's tags, extension types are additional, non core types. Bormann renamed them and bumped up the size so you can have way more of them in CBOR, but the tag also takes up more space, and since the odds of needing billions of extension types are basically zero it's not a good tradeoff.

> MP extension types are opaque and applications can do nothing about them. CBOR tags are extensions to the existing data model and can be processed to some extent

I think CBOR's "have your cake and eat it too" design has confused you. Yes CBOR establishes a tag registry, but implementations are free to ignore all tags. In practice what this means is if you can control the receiver you can use whatever tags you want, and if you don't control the receiver you have to either avoid tags or potentially limit your audience (i.e. do I use the "Standard date/time string" and eat the extra int8 or do I just send it as a string and note it as a date/time in my docs). You might think, "oh pish posh what can't process a date/time string", but the answer is "many embedded devices you'd want to use CBOR on". It's yet another feature added with no consideration for real world use cases.

> for example unknown tags don't prevent implementations from inspecting their contents. And I don't think MP had any sort of registry for extension types, they are more like "reserved for future expansion" instead of "less used but still spec-worthy types to be defined with a reasonable proposal".

You fundamentally misunderstand MP's extension types. Instead of guessing you can read about them in the MP spec [0]:

Extension types

MessagePack allows applications to define application-specific types using the Extension type. Extension type consists of an integer and a byte array where the integer represents a kind of types and the byte array represents data.

Applications can assign 0 to 127 to store application-specific type information. An example usage is that application defines type = 0 as the application's unique type system, and stores name of a type and values of the type at the payload.

MessagePack reserves -1 to -128 for future extension to add predefined types. These types will be added to exchange more types without using pre-shared statically-typed schema across different programming environments.

[0, 127]: application-specific types

[-128, -1]: reserved for predefined types

Because extension types are intended to be added, old applications may not implement all of them. However, they can still handle such type as one of Extension types. Therefore, applications can decide whether they reject unknown Extension types, accept as opaque data, or transfer to another application without touching payload of them.

AI is an assistive tool at best but it can probably speed up by reflowing text. I use dragon dictation with one of the Philips microphones and it makes enough mistakes that I would probably spend the same time editing/proofing. Had a good example yesterday where it missed a key NOT in an impression.

As aside, the after work is what burns out physicians. There is time after the visit to do a note, 5 min for a very simple is reasonable to create dictate fax do the work flow for billing and request a follow up within a given system. A new consult might take 10 min between visits if you have time.

For after hours, ER is in my opinion a bad example because when you are done, you are done.

Take a chronic disease speciality or GP and it is hours of paperwork after clinic to finish notes (worse if teaching students), triage referrals, deal with patient phone calls that came in, deal with results and act in them, read faxes etc. I saw my last patient ~430 yesterday and left for home at 7 dealing with notes and stuff that came in since Thursday night.
I want my open source projects to be used for training LLMs. An LLM is like a bundle of knowledge. I want to have a tiny bit of influence on these bundles of knowledge, since they will be used by many people for many years to come. If anyone can benefit, even just a little bit, I am for it. If not for the benefit of others, what's the main point of open source software in the first place?
Looks really nice. I do have my doubts about the ergonomics of it though. Once you've had a taste of concavity and column-staggering nothing else feels the same.
This is a lie. It is not removed. You either didn't check the facts of your point of you are willfully trying to deceive others.

I agree. Nothing prevents the mad man from using Tesla cars and Starlink for surveillance.
The federal government is generally pretty efficient. They probably sold off surplus equipment. They definitely have been consolidating office space. It could be that the remaining leases were cheaper to keep than buy out, or that selling the buildings didn’t make sense.

Regardless, there’s no reason for them to hire facilities people to maintain vacant space. Leaving furniture in those places would attract vermin, ruin the furniture, etc.
Starlink is helping Ukraine, connects many remote populations, and provides emergency connectivity during natural disasters.

Tesla brought EVs to the mainstream.

How exactly are they a threat to the free world?
Destroy a Starship on the pad? Possible. Destroy a Starship during ascent? That's much harder.

There are two problems: You have to have enough greater acceleration that you can catch it, and you have to have good enough targeting (and maneuverability) to actually hit it. Those are highly non-trivial problems.

ChromeOS tablets behave like this. Connect a keyboard and the UI switches to desktop mode.
I „found“ a MacBook 12“ Retina from 2015 at home a few weeks ago. Size wise that's the sweet spot for me. Would totally buy such a device running on Apple silicon. In the end I sold it for 50 Euro after tinkering with Pop!_OS and ultimately realizing that the processor is way too slow for Java development nowadays.
The cultural revolution happened 50-60 years ago. What culture would change in Taiwan? Mainland and Taiwan already share a lot of media.
I think the mess we have right now is because of many bad choices by US and allies since WW2:

1) They could reduce and rate limit lend lease to Soviet similar like they rate limited to Ukraine so buy themself more time until nuke is ready and then drop one on Dresden or Berlin (Berlin capitulated in May and they had first nuke in July so just few months later). After that probably didn't had nuke Japan. Also Poland and other eastern countries maybe wouldn't be a puppet state because Stalin lied to them and they would be under influence of US and Soviet Union would be weaker.

2) If they didn't have russian spy in their manhattan project then maybe russia wouldn't have nukes or had much much later.

3) If their didn't listen to british and US didn't overturn Mossadegh (instead of negotiating oil deal) then they wouldn't have maybe such a big mess in Iran and middle east now.

4) If the put some leash on Wall Street and their corporations then maybe they wouldn't let China to outcompete them so easily and now wouldn't have to worry about their own economical dominance.

5) If they would upfront told russian they will return nuke to Ukraine in case invasion because of broken contract commitment then they wouldn't have to worry about current mess in Europe.

6) Not much familiar with the whole history of Afganistan but still wondering what and how badly they US screwed that Afghans that were fighting with Soviet Union with aid of US turned agains them.
I won't comment on geopolitics, but I believe (unfortunately) that the scales have tipped on global order.

Irrespective of geopolitics, I suspect we will see electricity prices come down and then go back up, for several reasons:

1. As more EVs charge on the grid, it will become further under strain. Assuming on average every house owns an EV, and that EV power usage is approximately the equivalent of one house, it would be like the population doubles in terms of pressure on the electrical grid. No country has that kind of spare capacity. They will have to cost infrastructure improvements to the electricity bill.

2. As less combustion vehicles are used, combustion-based taxes will reduce, and the green energy initiatives will lose this subsidisation. This loss will be put onto the electricity customers directly.

3. EVs are significantly heavier (cars: ~25%, sedans: ~30%, trucks/SUVs: ~150%) and cause more wear on infrastructure. That wear will directly correlate with the amount of electricity used, and will be the easiest way to introduce a tax to cover these costs. Costs associated to EVs will likely come from unexpected places, like the additional damage caused in a collision [1], and these will also directly correlate with electricity usage.

If anything the UK and EU appear to be near the peak of the EU sales percentage [2], if any Countries will see a decline in sales of EVs as a percentage of overall vehicles it would be those.

Good news! If you make more than $320,000 / year you'll benefit from a couple trillion dollars in tax cuts! That'll fix everything once it "trickles down"! Thank god we live in an era when we get to witness this genius in action.

Nevermind that the reason Ukraine can't defend itself is because the US guaranteed their security in exchange for them giving up their nukes. I mean, that was so 30 years ago.

There are a number of FF forks available as well.
The article touches on it a little, but I'd like to know answers to the following questions:

- Are car sales in general down?

- Are other EV makers seeing a corresponding uptick in sales?

- Are ICE vehicles seeing an uptick in sales?

Just knowing that Tesla sales for a specific model have tanked doesn't tell me enough. The article mentions that Polestar and BYD are seeing an increase in sales over the last year, but doesn't say whether the last couple months have seen a higher increase than previously.
Since the new keyboard is still compatible with the older iPad Airs, I’d assume the reverse is true as well. The (last year) Pro keyboards aren’t compatible because the magnets layout on the M4 iPad Pro is different.
Length of Nippur cubit: 51.84 ± 0.02 cm
Ratio to Egyptian cubit: 99/100
Divided into 28 fingers (each finger = 1.8514 cm)

Relationship to Other Measurements
One Roman foot = 24/25 of a Greek foot
One Roman foot = 35/36 of an English foot
One small egyptian cubit = 44.45cm = 6/7 of a Nippur cubit
One Roman foot = 16 fingers = 1.852 x 16 = 29.63 cm
One Nippur cubit = 28 fingers = 1.852 x 28 = 51.84 cm ±0.02 = 4/7 of one Roman foot

Pyramid Measurements in Nippur Cubits
Great Pyramid base: 440 Egyptian cubits = 444.4 Nippur cubits
Great Pyramid height: 280 Egyptian cubits = 282.8 Nippur cubits

Mathematical Connections
Pyramid height (282.8 Nippur cubits):
- √8 = 2.828
- 200*√2 = 282,8 (the height of the Great Pyramid) = 100*√8
Base diagonal:
- 628.43 cubits = 200*π
Finger measurement:
- 1/100,000 of a mean meridian minute (99.95% precision)

The silver number: 1 + √2
Some properties:
1.414 + 1 = 2.414
1 / 2.414 = 0.414
1.414 – 1 = 1 / 2.414

Using the Nippur cubit as measurement unit, the height of the Great Pyramid measures 200 × the silver ratio, and the diagonal of the pyramid's base measures 200 × π!

The perimeter of the Great Pyramid measures half an arc minute of Earth's meridian with 99.98% accuracy, which is equivalent to the measurement made by Méchain and Delambre at the end of the 18th century, after 7 years of measurements and 9 years of calculations…

Check out these numbers:

GDP per capita for the US, EU, and some others: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.CD?end=2023...

The US was & is ahead per capita but you can see the EU and Canada taking a big hit in 2008 and going sideways after that.

Here's full GDP. It tells a different story due to the EU's larger population. There have been several occasions where it actually had a larger economy than the US; but every time it seems to hit a roadblock and go sideways for a decade (1980, 1995, 2008): https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.CD?end=2023...

He’s done before, so we can definitely expect something like this.
These days I write nearly all my code in Virgil (https://github.com/titzer/virgil).

It has features like classes, first-class functions, tuples, ADTs, unboxing, and a little data layout language, some unsafe features, like support for generating and integrating new machine code, and can talk directly to kernels.
It's why I specifically mentioned offshore - there has been huge growth in the UK of these - and most of them are so far out to see you'd be lucky to see them even on a clear day.

The logic against them seems to be - can't rely on wind power alone ( true - but nobody is suggesting that ), so we must destroy them all as a symbol of 'netzero'. It makes no sense.

>p.s. I think you meant to write fomenting

Yep. Thanks.
It worked fine on mojave, that is how I know it wasn’t my doing. The only variable change is the os. Another bug: sound turns on after I’ve muted it if any media starts playing. Defeating the entire purpose of muting audio. I guess macos knows best and I ought to play any and all audio out of those generous speakers at an appreciable volume no matter my surrounding. God forbid it were the other way and my video plays for a half second on mute before I notice.
Any and all dependence on the US is now a liability to the remaining democracies.
He knows it's wrong. He wanted to elicit a counter statement from Zelensky. Which Zelensky gave, saying that he had 57% approval rating.

So now Trump can say: Look, if you have 57% approval rating, why do you shun elections?
> Thus, a natural question is: Which one is better between bitmap compression and inverted list compression?

Definitely useful to find out if these two areas have any developments the other is lacking. These days I would want to know which algorithms will run well in parallel and scale with more threads on the CPU or GPU. Looks like there are ~4 algorithms here using 4-wide and 8-wide CPU SIMD, but that doesn’t scale very far and doesn’t tell us which algorithms are amenable to parallel compression scaling. Some of the best compression algorithms out there are between difficult and impossible to parallelize, and so while the compression rates might be good, they probably won’t be the most used or most popular in practice.
Right, much safer to expect oil and gas to stay consistent because all those EV drivers will be using pure renewable electricity.
> it's not actually possible without destroying the internet as we know it

Looking around at all the neo nazis, Russian disinformation and just the general populace turning more and more insane I’m getting pretty tired of the internet as we know it.
I'm asking this because I genuinely don't know, but at what point do Tesla shareholders sue the company? Musk's actions, like them or not, are actively hurting the company. There are many people who will never buy a Tesla who otherwise would due to Musk.
I don't at all see how private ownership would help anything.
Teslas already have an always-on cell modem. Unless you live in the boonies, adding starlink isn't going to make you more trackable than you are already.
maybe iPads are for creatives.
but for regular office-work they're not good at all. bad UX throughout. My mum tends to use for her regular work tasks e.g writing, spreadsheets etc everything is just bad - things that could be easily done on a macbook - take ages on an ipad. the file system is bad.
the reason she doesn't like using the macbook is due to lack of touch.
so either apple needs to make an iPad with full macOS but which supports touch. Not the half-assed product that's currently available now.

Ask HN: Scaling a project that only HN likes?
I've spent my gap year working on a language learning tool, https://nuenki.app. It translates appropriate-difficulty sentences into the language you're learning as you browse. Whenever I mention it on HN, people quite like it and a very high proportion subscribe.

I'd like to grow it. A similar startup, Toucan, built a simpler tool (single word, contextless translations) that gained traction and was acquired by Babbel. I'm not quite sure what they did that I'm missing.

I've run Reddit post ads. They get positive comments and feedback and lots of people trying the free trial, but very few convert, unlike the people from HN. I wasted my product hunt launch, which did well, because there wasn't a trial at the time.

Now I have a product with a small group of very positive power users, but I don't really see a path to growing it. I'm quite close to just putting it on the backburner and working on something else, but it seems a shame because there is a group of people - tech savvy language learners - who really like it, but I have no way of reaching them.

I'm 19, so I'm not in a position to spend much money without knowing that it has good returns. I've already wasted quite a lot of money on ads.

I'd really appreciate advice!
