That was in response to the artificial debt ceiling. The coin was to be “deposited” and used a justification for why there didn’t need to be a vote to lift the debt ceiling for funds Congress has already allocated.

Conflating that with Keynesian principles is false. He didn’t propose that the trillion dollar coin would ever affect actual spending.

The Ort Cloud is 0.03 to 3.2 light-years from the sun [1] and Alpha Centauri is 4.3 light-yeas (per TFA ((that was an nice read)) away and presumably has a similar cloud around it. In what way do these object belong to any star? Could it be that there is a lot more stuff floating around the Milky Way than is commonly acknowledged?

Nice to see a $1000 Air again in spite of inflation. For comparison, M2 Air was released in 2022 at $1200 with 8 GB RAM.
Lynx absolutely supports TLS (2.8 and later, possibly earlier).
Depending on whether you offer phone support, the ticket's context, support contract terms, and specific customer expectations, the "second hit" of just closing the ticket might often be better as a request for a call or synchronous chat.

If they accept the request for a call/chat, it's because they have more to say (good, bad, or otherwise), the first post-resolution response slipped past them (especially if the "first hit" goes out within a day of resolution, because they're probably catching up on time lost from the issue), or they're a rotating team and the main contact is out for a moment.

Closing the ticket in most of those circumstances would be premature from the customer's perspective, whether they report that negative sentiment back to you or not. There might be another issue exposed by the resolution of the first issue that wasn't evident, or they might have feedback or want a bug tracker ticket to follow if the issue was a problem with the product or docs.

On the other hand, if they see the request for a call and their issue is fully solved, they'll appreciate the offer for synchronous time even (often especially) if they refuse it. It signals an openness to communicate both ways that isn't limited to "I have a problem" and "Fill out this NPS survey".

And many customer contacts hate unnecessary calls/chats enough to consider this a warning that you might push harder for one before closing the ticket, so they'll just close the ticket themselves to actively avoid the "threat" of the call.

The notification that the ticket is being closed should come 2-3 business days after that last offer for a call/chat. If they want to talk to you again, it's in another ticket.

If a lack of agent capacity prevents offering synchronous wrap-up calls/chats before closure, reserve them for escalated tickets and offer them as the manager. If it turns into a support call, open a new ticket and hand them back off. If not, you're in the perfect position to get first-hand customer feedback about a fresh support interaction.
Entirely possible. Obviously Apple wouldn't have been interested in letting you upgrade the RAM even if it was doable.

I'd love to have more points of comparison available, but Strix Halo is the most analogous chip to an M-series chip on the market right now from a memory point of view, so it's hard to really know anything.

I very much hope CAMM2 or something else can be made to work with a Strix-like setup in the future, but I have my doubts.
It has terrible compute performance...
I come here for the tech news, but also the assmad potshots you guys always take at JS. Never change, HN.
True, I also noticed that bigger models run slower at the same memory bandwidth (makes sense).
Yeah, I don’t think RAM is the bottleneck. Which is unfortunate. It feels like a missed opportunity for them. I think Apple partly became popular because it enabled creatives and developers.

Since there were a couple of comments asking about water content, yes, we also keep our compost moist through adding water when needed (I also live in a rather moist region of the US). The previous owners of our property "gifted" us an above-ground pool that makes for a lousy swimming spot but a great water collection tank. We rarely have to use municipal water for anything garden-related.
I'm aware of the dolphins. It's become an in-joke among friends that the Crimean invasion started to get the military dolphins back for the cable attacks.

YouTube brings its more affordable 'Premium Lite' subscription to the US
Looking at this entire Apple product launch day, I'm struck by how Apple's silicon strategy keeps extending in both directions.
I don't even necessarily object to paying a premium. If it was $200 to go to 1TB or 32GB RAM I'd probably be annoyed but still pay it. There is a difference between paying a premium and wholly unjustifiable prices.
The touchbar was a downgrade for me. Turns out my fingers go slightly above the key when typing certain symbols that are [shift]+[number key]. It took me a while to figure out why my laptop kept opening a music player seemingly at random a couple times per day, but it was because the touchbar was so sensitive that slightly brushing it was triggering the "play" button.

I ended up having to disable almost the whole bar to keep it from happening, just fill it with "blank" zones.

I also can't reliably drag-n-drop with force-sensitivity turned on for the touchpad, so there's another "innovation" I have to turn off. I don't even have, like, dexterity issues or a disability or something, but it makes it so damn fiddly that my drag-n-drops drop too early about half the time.

Ask HN: Does OpenFGA Support Multi-Level Indirect Relationship Evaluation?
I've been evaluating OpenFGA for relationship-based access control (ReBAC) and I believe I've identified a significant limitation: *OpenFGA does not support multi-level indirect relationship evaluation beyond one level of indirection*.

## Example Scenario: Management Chain Authorization

Imagine a scenario where permissions should propagate up a management chain:

1. *Object A* is *owned* by *User B*.
2. *User B* is *managed* by *User C*.
3. *User C* is *managed* by *User D*.

### What OpenFGA Can Handle

If I define an authorization rule like:

```
allow manager from owner
```

Then *User C* inherits access to *Object A* because:

> "User C manages User B, who owns Object A."

### What OpenFGA Cannot Handle

OpenFGA does not allow further relationship chaining:

> "User D should be able to view Object A, because User D manages User C, who manages User B, who owns Object A."

This limitation exists because OpenFGA does not allow the `from` clause (also called a tupleset) to reference another relation. The documentation explicitly states that OpenFGA will *throw an error* if an authorization model attempts this kind of multi-level evaluation:

- ["Referencing Relations on Related Objects"](https://openfga.dev/docs/configuration-language#referencing-relations-on-related-objects)
- ["Modeling Parent-Child Relationships"](https://openfga.dev/docs/modeling/parent-child#05-check-if-bob-is-an-editor-of-documentmeeting_notesdoc)

## My Questions for HN:

1. *Have I correctly understood this limitation of OpenFGA?*
2. *Are there any authorization frameworks/tools that do support recursive evaluation of indirect relationships?*

Would love to hear if anyone has encountered and solved this issue, or if OpenFGA's approach is just a fundamental design tradeoff in this space. Thanks!
Are the benchmarks worse? Running LLMs in system memory is rather painful. I am having a hard time finding benchmarks for running large models using system memory. Can you point me to some benchmarks you’re referring to?

Could you provide a link for that TOPS count? (And specifically TOPs with comparable unit sizes since NVIDIA and Apple did not use the same units till recently)

The only similar number I can find is for TFLOPS vs TOPS

Again I’m not saying the GPU will be comparable to an NVIDIA one, but that the comparison point isn’t sensible in the comments I originally replied to.
I remember listening to a Syntax FM[0] with Zack Jackson from ByteDance, which mentioned this framework briefly. Some quotes and notes from that part of the podcast:

- All ByteDance products, even native apps, are web-based

- They have an in-house framework called "Lynx" which is essentially their version of React Native[1]

- "All apps are Lynx apps. Everything is a Lynx app. It's all backed off the same stack."

- This approach allows them to maintain a unified architecture while having specialized teams focus on different aspects (algorithms, compiler, kernel, etc.)

Unfortunately Russia didn’t balkanize in 1990. The largest Soviet republic became the Russian Federation and kept its borders.

The world today would be a much safer place if 1990 Russia had split into about six independent states, each comparable to Kazakhstan or Ukraine. Hopefully that will eventually happen when Putin is gone. Imperial Russia should cease to exist like imperial Austria did. It has been a great source of misery throughout the centuries.
Sure, but if 100-200 happens globally, at least one of those are likely to have been in the Baltic Sea.
I find a need for specialisation at a lot of places and it simply doesn't exist in C#. Meta programming in C# almost everytime requires reflection which adds to uncertainty and compromises on readability. Other two are what I posted in original comments.
Several of the EU sanctions explicitly state as a rationale that they are in reaction to Russia’s hybrid activities against the EU member states.
Nice, although I was disappointed that you program by typing into MS Paint. I would have thought trying to draw the letters using your touchpad would be more intuitive.

You’re describing Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), or really the parody of it that was popular in discussions online.

This was always part of the original design of the Mac Studio so they have never changed the design. This is a spec bump.

Loved my M1 mini, loved my M2 air. I've moved on to 2024 HP Elitebook with an AMD R7 8840U, 1TB replaceable NVME, 32gb of socketed DDR5. 14in laptop with a serviceable enough 1920x1200 matte screen. $800 and a 3 hour drive to the nearest Microcenter. I gave Apple another try (refused apple from 2009-2020 because of the nvidia era issues) and I just can't stomach living off of piles of external drives anymore to make up for their lack luster storage space on the affordable units.

The HP Elitebook was on Ubuntu's list of compatible tested laptops and came in hundreds of dollars less than a Thinkpad. Most of the comparably priced on sale T14's I could find were all crap Intel spec'd ones.

Months in I don't regret it at all and Linux support has been fantastic even for a fairly newer Ryzen chip and not the latest kernel. (I stick to LTS releases of most Distros) Shoving in 4TB of NVME storage and 96GB of DDR5 should I feel the need to upgrade would still put me only around $1300 invested in this machine.
We should definitely go back to the good relations we used to have. Maybe if we're nice to them again they won't be running around with polonium, forcing migrants through Belarus, sending in little green men to their neighbors, and generally trying to destabilize the entire West. They're just misunderstood - it's not a country of thugs, they just want to live in peace and pump oil. Hey maybe if we have good relations we'll even be able to benefit from their recent invaluable contributions to science and technology.

This is a big thing. The internet users of the late 90s just don't exist any more. The internet isn't for nerds any more, it's as ubiquitous an infrastructure as electricity or roads, everyone uses it.

"Language is primarily a tool for communication rather than thought" [1]. ie, that language is neither necessary nor sufficient for the so-called psychic thinking process. It serves as a communication mechanism. Meanwhile, there is a hypothesis that the psychic thinking process lies beyond computation as we know it [2] in the form of turing machines etc.

I always assumed that the new reddit UI was more for app based usage than browser. And there is/was a hope to steer more people towards using the app.

I also assume they are smart enough to realize that some people will simply never use the app. In which case they're not realizing as much benefit from forcing the new UI on them. Sure, there's a cost to maintain the old one. But as long as things aren't breaking it's easier to keep it.

Krugman discussing the Internet might be like geohot discussing economics.

Or are you referring to the fact that he said it didn’t show up as having caused growth in the underlying economic data? I think he was pointing out something quantitative at the time, and in recent years he speculated that the strong growth in US GDP was finally reflecting efficiency and productivity gains from IT and the Internet. (The US’s strong growth until very very recently was an outgrowth of strong and rare increases in worker productivity.)

Applications of quaternions to 3D geometry do not matter: as a field or vector space over real numbers quaternions are four dimensional because 1, i, j, k are linearly independent. Over complex numbers they are a two dimensional vector space instead.
Agree. This ship is adrift.

Remember when it was just a MacBook, or air, or pro and it had a year.
The M3 Ultra with 512GB unified memory is a monster for AI development, while the new M4 MacBook Air makes AI features accessible to the mainstream. Apple's approach of building their own silicon shows massive dividends - they can optimize the entire stack from hardware to software for specific workloads like AI inference

This is an interesting point.

I was a heavy USENET user for several years before finding Slashdot. With /. I found myself rarely going to the source link and almost never reading the editorial commentary. I'd go straight to the comments and start reading what people had to say. All these decades later and what I love about sites like HN and Reddit is immediately wading in and embracing the zeitgeist. I *loved* Twitter for a long time for the same reason.

But you're right. There are others I knew who were the exact opposite. And those people today have very different internet habits than I do.
