Being restricted to seats with plugs sucks. Not finding a place to sit because all the places with plugs are already occupied sucks. Needing to take a power brick out of the bag and fumble around on the floor to plug it in sucks. Being unable to use the laptop on plane or train rides without plugs sucks.
I'd also say there are likely a lot of false negatives as well - some people aren't photogenic or have a bad profile, and there may be chemistry or attraction in real life that doesn't transfer to the digital realm. It also completely bypasses any situations where you may find someone attractive only after speaking to them and getting to know them.
> * Can it expand into the layman market?

Maybe it's more enthusiast than layman, and I guess it's also not much of a market, but in the video arrrchival space it's pretty widespread, with people running e.g. Jellyfin behind Tailscale.
Yup. +1 for fossil. I wanted an issue tracker that wasn’t text files in the repo. Lots of git-based things that were heavier (gitea and friends) or hackier than I wanted. Decided to finally try out fossil and I think it’s really really neat.
Does this solve all the other problems with encrypted email

it doesn't solve all of them but a few at least. i don't believe using pgp itself is a problem. if it was deltachat could replace it with another better encryption.

metadata is a problem. that could be solved by removing messages from the email server and storing them elsewhere. (or storing them back on the server with the metadata removed). that doesn't prevent intermediate mail forwarders from keeping a copy though.
i think that is the real problem. deltachat doesn't control the communication channel and can't prevent leaking. i don't know how matrix or jabber compare here. if they use intermediate servers to forward messages the problem would remain.

message content leaking is not a problem because messages won't ever be decrypted on the server.

long term secret leaking is a problem tied to the current implementation of pgp. deltachat could change that (and maybe it does?)
Wherever it is, firefighters need to be informed of it so that they can make a decision to do the right thing quickly when they are under pressure. I think about various signs like these

that exist to help firefighters quickly understand what they are up against.

As others have said, I think it is more than just "when can I plug in, it is also "what is my performance when I'm not plugged in."

My Framework and my HP Spectre (that I bought last year) both perform differently if they aren't plugged in and both make more noise than a MacBook Air. Whereas my MacBook Pros are usually silent (tho they can def turn the fan on if I'm pushing them a lot) and I can definitely run the battery down, but I never have to worry about having to have it plugged in just so I can do what I want without worries.

And on Windows anyway (Linux power management is its own nightmare), having to triage to figure out "how much time do I have before I have to move to a different seat in an airport lounge or find a plug at a coffee shop or snoop around at an office if I'm not at a set desk" to make sure I have enough time left to make that video call is like not a small thing.

Yeah, you can often find a plug -- but a) sometimes those plugs don't work. and b) sometimes the effort to find and look for one really interrupts your flow, versus just being able to to trust that my laptop has enough power to operate.
For what it is worth, plenty of people play the lottery for the entertainment value.
I don't buy from them and consider it abusive at the same time. What a concept.
I read this article. Is this serious? This is Russian pseudo-communist propaganda meant to attack globalization. It is well written, remarkable even, but totally unreasonable:

1) Chossudovsky criticizes subsidized grain imports for undermining local markets, but in contexts of hyper-inflation or economic collapse (e.g., Somalia’s public sector wages dropping to $3/month), external food aid was the only means for households to survive. Criticism that it destroyed the market is dishonest. Markets ALSO don't survive if the customers die off. Obviously.

2) While imposed austerity measures that worsened inequality and local economies, the alternative—total state insolvency—would have been far worse. A teacher wage of $3 is still far superior to a collapsed state offering a wage of $0, and probably forcing locals to wage war on each other. PLUS the state needs to get back to surviving on it's own, without external help, or it would just delay total collapse instead of fixing it.

I was curious about this article. So well written, but it's a totally unfair attack piece, it's lunacy ... and here is the wikipedia page on the author:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Chossudovsky

"Michel Chossudovsky (born 1946) is a Canadian economist and author. He is professor emeritus of economics at the University of Ottawa[1][2] and the president and director of the Centre for Research on Globalization (CRG), which runs the website globalresearch.ca, founded in 2001, which publishes falsehoods and conspiracy theories.[3][4][5] Chossudovsky has promoted conspiracy theories about 9/11."

"In 2017, the Centre for Research on Globalization was accused by information warfare specialists at NATO’s Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence (STRATCOM) of playing a key role in the spread of pro-Russian propaganda.[12] A report by the U.S. State Department in August 2020 accused the website of being a proxy for a Russian disinformation campaign."
First time I was arrested for being next to a fight until I was cleared of any involvement. This required some explaining and the policeman was an idiot.

Second time some busybody reported to the police that I was carrying a knife. This was a Santoku knife that I'd literally bought and was still in the plastic packaging but you could see it through the plastic bag I was carrying it in. We had a bit of a laugh about it and they apologised for wasting my time. They did however arrest me so that they could do a formal search and had right to as they had reasonable suspicion I was carrying it as a weapon. I'm not bothered they were very reasonable and so was I.

Show HN: Tsfix – Fixing the ESM compatibility gap TypeScript won't solve
TSFIX was born out of my own frustration with the current ESM situation in TypeScript. And I'm sharing it hoping it might save others the time and headaches I went through.

Basically it solves three fundamental TypeScript frustrations:

1. TypeScript's compiler (`tsc`) can't produce valid ESM output

2. Using bundlers to fix ESM output creates misalignment with type definitions

3. We should be able to use `.ts` extensions in our source files since that's what they actually are!

It's a simple post-build tool that:

- Transforms `tsc` output into valid ESM by adding proper extensions

- Ensures your type definitions match your actual code structure

After 8+ years of open TypeScript issues, I got tired of waiting for a proper solution.

GitHub: https://github.com/2BAD/tsfix

P.S. Did you know none of the top 100 TypeScript projects on GitHub use `tsc` for production builds?
One important facet that our American chums might not know, is that many people in Europe already felt that Teslas were ugly, hateful cars. They were the ultimate gadget for people on a company car scheme (big tax advantages used to exist for EVs).

I think there a lot of people who would tolerate being treated as a pompous arse because of their car, but wouldn't tolerate being made fun of. In the UK being a source of ridicule to your peers is the worst insult. Musk, and by extension his cars, are a laughing stock.
> Multiple files to herd. When I get an email with five patch attachments, I have five files to copy around instead of one, with long awkward names.

That’s not correct. You can write the email to an mbox file (your MUA lets you do that, right?) and then use `git am` to pull it all into git.

> Why I don’t like it: because the patch series is split into multiple emails, they arrive in my inbox in a random order, and then I have to save them one by one to files, and manually sort those files back into the right order by their subject lines.

The patch series arrives threaded, so your MUA should be able to display them in order. Export them to an mbox file, and then use `git am` again.

There might be ways that someone can send you email in this way and for the patches to be broken such that `git am` won’t work, of course. I take no issue with that part of the argument.
> polls do not predict who wins the election because the election is won by the electoral college, not by the popular vote

Which is why any model worth its salt only uses national polls to predict state results. (State polls are more meaningful. But the headlines they generate aren't as nationally clickable.)
Just ran this on a 4000RTX with 24gb of vram and it struggles to load, but it’s very fast once the model loads.

Tldr- about 20 years ago, when off-track betting systems were less sophisticated, an insider past-posted horse racing jackpot winners by waiting until the first 4 races of the Pick-6 were final before creating the ticket. They got busted and served time in federal prison because they had multiple winning tickets for the Breeders Cup Pick-6, basically the Super Bowl of horse racing, where scrutiny was extremely high.

> But my old Raspberry Pi was too weak to run it, so I ended up uninstalling it, and unrelatedly my pet project grew out and has its place in the cloud now.

It’s incredible how shitty modern software is that a raspberry pi couldn’t run a basic VPN.

If any tailscale devs see this you should try to reproduce this issue and use it as an opportunity to clean up a bunch of dumb assumptions that likely hurt real users as well, just through less direct means like battery consumption and slower overall performance.

> Instead he decided to take a shortcut by buying a president and torching the regulatory system, and he'll succeed, but will that actually pay off? Self-driving Teslas will be allowed without any questions nation-wide, but will people get into them after what he's done?

I don't think he cares too much about self driving regulation compared to other factors. Trump's tariff's against Mexico greatly benefit Tesla by making the supply chains used by other American carmakers more costly. He can easily push for SpaceX contracts from the top down. And he can advocate for favorable policy towards X.ai, Twitter, etc.

With regards to self driving, Tesla has always been in the grey area where their marketing clashes with their legal stance (i.e. that the human must remain in control at all times and therefore must keep liability). They've haven't bothered so far with the legal legwork to do real autonomous driving the way that competitors like Waymo did. And it will be make years before they need to do that, since their current tech is far from real autonomous driving.

Perhaps so, but inflation too was a major concern.
Thanks. What do you mean with "native" (vs. C++)?

What I assumed from the podcast is that there's a lot of internal reusable tools in C++, and the web-based stuff is mostly about the UI layer.

This is a good way to destroy productivity and morale, but if that’s not your goal you need to expect your managers to earn their pay.

Laying off the bottom 5% presumes that you’re measuring that accurately and that individual workers have control over their productivity, both of which are unlikely to be true - and if you get either wrong, you just incentivized playing political games and shying away from work which is hard, uncertain, or under-weighted by your metrics. Stack ranking almost destroyed the ability of Microsoft and Google to make anything people love, and you can see its cost in the unperformed maintenance work people know won’t juice their metrics.

Similarly, if people are leaving because you have too much work, poor working conditions, don't pay well enough, etc. capping rehiring is just going to make the situation worse.

If you’re not a PE guy looking to juice a company before dumping it, cost cutting has to be a process of understanding and identifying your true goals first. If you’ve truly over-hired, the first lesson to draw is that you have a management problem which you need to deal with first since it will make everything else likely to fail as well.
Yes. You need to go to server class chips (eg. threadripper) before beating the raw multi-core performance of a top-spec M4 Max in a Macbook pro, and the battery life is still crazy good!
A pro will still be a good 2.5x the speed compared to the Air due to memory bandwidth. It would be rather silly to spring for that amount of memory for that purpose, anything more than say a 14B param model will be painful.
"Ryzen AI" has to be the worst name for a line of general purpose CPUs ever conceived.
That seems more like more of the same grandstanding that created this problem, Russia Bad I don't disagree. Being surprised when you let America foot the bill for security and looking the other way when they create proxy conflicts to serve their goals only to complain when the US drops the mask and says you let me do what I want as long as you didn't have to foot the bill and responsibility and now it's FU time seemed the only likely outcome. This also works in the US favor Europe has to shift focus and divert resources to Russia.That creates financial opportunities the us can exploit. Trade wars make money, Real wars drain resources. Financial and population. After the war how many Anti Russian citizens will be alive to vote. Switching gears China has strong interest in the fresh water and resources near their border that Russia could trade or even lose if Russia can be made weak enough. Russia has a wealth of facts to twist into propaganda. Honestly restricting this narrative to something as simple as Russia Bad just guarantees the US laughs all the way to the bank.

I think you may actually be right but I always react with disgust and amazement at the concept of wanting ads that are “better” or “more useful”.

To me, that fact that you’re making an unsolicited pitch to me to capture my money is an insult and assault on my attention. Even if it somehow happened to align with something I wanted, I then wouldn’t want it from that company.
It's not intended for manual access. The goal would be to sit back, douse the car with a firehouse, and leave enough of an open path so that the water pressure alone breaks the seal and floods the battery. This is what firefighters are already doing, so this design simply makes the default action more effective. I'm a big fan!

> When attacking the vehicle fire, understanding that once the contents of the fire are extinguished, sustained suppression on the battery pack may be necessary. Use a large volume of water such as multiple 1 3/4-inch hand-lines to suppress and cool the fire and the battery. Put water on the burning surfaces.

Nordic probably doesn't own all of the code, which is a separate issue to the patents.
There is absolutely no reason why the public at large can't know that some three letter agency is legally forcing a company to provide information with a national security letter. The public knowing that this is happening doesn't divulge any useful information to anyone. The fact that free speech is in fact being trounced in the US is really freaking gross to me.
Taking "never roll your own" too far.
Inference is about memory bandwidth and some CPUs have just as much bandwidth as a GPU.
It is obvious now, but I will defend langchain which is catching a stray here.

Folks associated with that project were some of the first people to talk about patterns like this publicly online. With GPT-3-Davinci it was not at all obvious that chaining these calls would work well, to most people, and I think the community and team around langchain and associated projects did a pretty good job of helping to popularize some of the patterns such as they are now obvious.

That said, I agree with your overall impression.
The Magic DNS feature is super cool as well. I'm not sure exactly what the mainstream killer app would be. But I feel like Tailscale is poised to execute if/when it arises.

Perhaps the AI age makes everyone more data privacy conscious.

I've also long thought that eventually every household will eventually have a mini server for home automation and storing personal information. The rise of the cloud kinda slowed this down, but I don't think cloud and home server are mutually exclusive.
It says "wait" (as in "wait, no, I should do X") so much while reasoning it's almost comical. I also ran into the "catastrophic forgetting" issue that others have reported - it sometimes loses the plot after producing a lot of reasoning tokens.

Overall though quite impressive if you're not in a hurry.
Oh I see the problem. It’s a minefield of issues! I’m saying that allowing kids on large social media to begin with is an issue. Co-minging them with the rest of the userbase adds to the issue. If the interface was a different color and the parent had an easy way to know which Instagram (or Instagram Jr) the user was on, the parent could easily understand where they were. It would be easier to regulate algorithms and such on that walled garden. If kids were found to be on the adult version, the accounts should be banned.

I’m not saying there is a perfect solution. I’m saying the 1st amendment exists and you need to work within that framework. And I refuse to agree that the only choice is giving up being anonymous on the internet. It’s not even clear that KOSA could survive 1A challenges.

Regulate the issues causing the problems. Allow users to bring their own algorithms. Don’t allow algorithmic content/advetising on accounts marked as under 18. There are so many other things to try first. The issue is Big Tech owns the legislators and so we are stuck with nothing except them whims of the few powerful people at the helm of these ships.
The idea of having a miniscule diesel generator in the server chassis is almost worth doing it right now. Still have fond memories of our miniature steam engine, but I figure that would be a bit impractical.

Flutter and Kotlin Multiplatform are two different frameworks. Flutter is mainly for cross platform UI. KM is mainly for common-core (or common business logic). My point still stands that these are all bloated and ugly.

Because you'd also have to submit the money it would cost to buy every combination, and also, you likely couldn't fit every ticket (tens of millions of combinations) with a realistic-looking ticket generation time (approx 1-5 seconds between each ticket created). i.e. if 50,000,000 tickets all had the same timestamp (or were off by nanoseconds) it would be a dead giveaway.

The tarrifs are for the US to build it's own domestic capabilities, but this will ultimately shift the rest of the world's trade away from the US and toward each other. It's a trade-off – no pun intended – between local jobs/national security and downgrading their own economy/geo-political standing/currency. Anyone who's been making financial bets on business as usual for globalization is going to see a bit of a speed bump over the next few years, but in the long term it's the US taking an L to undo decades of undermining their own peoples' prospects from offshoring their entire manufacturing capability. Their trump card - still no pun intended - is their military capability, which the world will have to wean themselves off first.
