The difference is that in America we have politicians who cultivate a fear of cities, public transportation, and not owning a bigger car than you need.

Eh maybe if you actually use it a lot. But if you don't then accidentally activating it gets annoying.
Repeatedly, in like every interview they've given.
It is due to Canadians boycotting Tesla. Musk said that Canada is not a real country and supports Trumps threats of annexation and trade war.

Consequently, Canadian auto show don't want a symbol of it in there. They are joining boycott.
I work with Salesforce quite a bit, using both Apex and Flows depending on the situation. SF is a huge organization, with different people pulling different directions. So you have the no-code people who have been pushing for more drag-and-drop visual logic for years, and they're probably tighter with the marketing people. But you also have other divisions wanting to do more powerful stuff that doesn't fit into that, so Apex certainly isn't going away.
AFAICT, in my metro and others, pretty much all the cheap housing is luxury housing from ~100 years ago. Cheap housing built 100 years ago has been torn down and replaced, but the good stuff built 100 years ago is still standing and being used.

The problem is that we weren't building luxury apartments 50 years ago, it was all single family housing. So there aren't any luxury apartments that can degrade into cheap housing. Building luxury apartments & condos now will help the cheap housing situation in 50 years time.

Agree, OP is points to Thoreau, Sagan, Galileo - most people on the planet earth are not like that and those guys were heavily privileged.

Doing personal fancy research was not available before as it is now. Even though one still has to be rather privileged to have time to dig through obscure details that don’t make him money.
Still holding onto my 6, but will likely switch to the 10, 10a, or 11 when they come out.

The feature I'd love to see is Qi2 support. A little silly that major phone manufacturers are so slow at adopting it.
Most of season 2 was about being stranded on the moon (because of technology failures caused by costcutting)
Gas taxes and toll revenue account for about 1/3 of road infrastructure spend these days. This is significantly less than years past as the fixed gas tax hasn't kept up with inflation or adjusted upwards enough to match efficiency gains.
It’s driven entirely by expectation of Musk abusing his government role to corruptly favor his own companies.

Berger wrote two books on SpaceX in a very positive light generally, portraying Musk as extraordinarily driven and capable though not passing over less admirable traits. Berger is not a hater.
If you travel in and around the South East, inc. London the service is pretty good, regular although still very very expensive.

Only because that person is an implicit threat, not because they are helping. My first thought would be akin to "oh fuck, the lizard people are here now."
This is the second biggest piece of economics misinformation, behind people who believe their net income will go down if they get a raise into the next tax bracket.

Just like cars, all new housing is luxury. No one working minimum wage can afford the cheapest new car on the lot. But those new cars get bought by people who sell their used cars.
Space can be political or it can be political. Response to Spootnik-level event is political. Gaming with expectable difficulties in space exploration, pointing fingers to the previous administration, is political. But those are different kinds of "political".
Turns out that unlike the joke in Futurama (where Amy has a tiny phone dwarfed by its enormous charger), phones are going to just get bigger and bigger. They're already too big for human hands, and still no end in sight.
There are stories that Musk was willing to foot the bill. Of course thats easy to say after the other decisions have been made, but my guess is my second point was probably the real no—at least not in a timely or safe enough manner to make the overall future mission disruptions worth it from NASA’s POV.
"Developers are only building luxury houses!" is a symptom of supply being forcibly prevented from meeting demand. An unrestricted market on housing will build houses up and down the price spectrum. Now introduce an arbitrary cap on the number of houses which can be built. Which houses are the ones that get built? Obviously it will be the ones at the top of the spectrum: they are the most profitable, so that demand gets met first until it is either fulfilled or developers can't build anymore.

Consider, if a car company was only allowed to build 100 cars per year, of course they would build only million-dollar hypercars. In order to profitably meet demand at the bottom end of the market, they need to be allowed to supply in large quantities.

What's considered a "luxury" apartment in Bay Area is considered normal in many other parts of the country. I've heard it's mostly a scheme to avoid certain regulations but I can't find anything from a quick lookup. Regardless, while searching for an apartment recently, the term "luxury" was completely meaningless. I found luxury apartments that were cheaper and/or had less amenities/features than "affordable" ones. The biggest factor seems (often slight) differences in location rather than differences in the quality of the apartment itself

I think that depends what you mean by legal request. The guy is not making a request of the legal system, so no, it is not specifically a legal request in that sense. However, if someone did make a legal request later, the testimony of this exchange might be introduced as evidence that they had a entered into a contractual agreement verbally to give the guy a right to have a copy of the photo for his private use. (Remember that the family also have a legal right to their own likeness, though it is a privacy law, not copyright, so there are multiple dimensions here as to who has the initial rights in the interaction). Replace "family" with "celebrity" and I think you'd have a plausible scenario that might end up in court on occasion.
This misses the point. Hydroelectric dams have a big negative cost component in human lives, because they protect a significant amount of them every single time there are flooding conditions (e.g. heavy rain) and the dam doesn't fail (which is obviously the huge majority of cases).

Nuclear plants, on the other hand, protect a negligible amount of lives during floods, because they make for impractical shelters :P

In my expeience, comparison in "lethality" between hydroelectricity and nuclear power are only ever made by people that are uninformed on flood management and/or want to push an agenda, and I wanted to provide a counterpoint to that.
True, I guess that's the advantage of HTTrack.

I guess for my use case, it would be better to get the parsing that HTTrack does, get all the url's, and pass that into an intelligence to selectively grab files.
I always felt like this was kind of obvious. People love to say housing supply will lower prices, and it's probably slightly true, but it's fairly clear that house prices go up in places that people have money, and they go up proportional to the money. In the US the rich have comically more money than the poor--100s or 1000s of times as much, comparing the surplus that a wealthy tech employee has to put towards a house fund compared to a person living paycheck to paycheck. And then the rich will then buy vacation homes, pied-a-terres, etc, with their huge excess. Who would put money into building for people who have no money when those people are out there?

Rent on the other hand is likely more supply/demand based because it is actually possible to have empty units due to overbuilding if the local economy shifts. But even still they are motivated to hold units empty and keep the price high to wait for a rich person who can afford it to come along. (Not to mention algorithmically colluding so as to not actually compete on price.)

I cannot imagine how housing could ever become more affordable for the poor unless the income disparity lowers, short of some sort of price-fixing governmental action.
IIRC the meat and dairy mixing is based on a specific passage of exodus or deuteronomy forbidding boiling a baby goat in its mother's milk, which was a ritual practice of the canaanites at one time and so it may have always been an ethnic-religious differentiation thing.

In any case I think it can't be linked to food safety or disease risk, which I have also always found compelling for most of the other restrictions. How it later grew into a general prohibition on mixing meat and dairy I have no idea though.
I don't maintain `fd`. I'm just here to fix your misrepresentations for others following along.

If you need locale specific tailoring, then use `find`. Nothing wrong with that.
In Ireland as well as property tax we also have a dereliction charge for sites/properties, it's been on the books since 1990, but recently being leveraged (clumsily) to punish land hoarding in urban areas. It's currently 7% p.a. of what somebody declares the market value of the land is, and the land can also be subject to a CPO unless remedied.
The LPT local property tax is a fraction of 1% p.a. typically 0.1% (subject to regional and valuation variables).

> As much as i love new rust cli tools

Why would you love them just because they're in rust?

I'd like to praise the author of this fd for not having "Rust" all over the web page or in the HN link, actually.

The Rust inquisition would get far less pushback if instead of threatening people that god will kill a kitten every time you use a non-kosher programming language, they'd promote software that improves (even opinionated improves, like this fd) on existing tools instead of having its main feature "but it's written in Rust!".
Honest question - when I compare the comments here to other threads that have been presumably flagged for political reasons, the discussions don’t look all that dissimilar. There’s no technical discussion and everything devolves into political chatter. Why are other posts flagged but this one not?
IIRC Ars has stated that the story author is the ones that writes the headers/subheaders, but they write multiple and A/B testing picks the one to show.
Maybe, maybe not. Once something stops being free the human brain starts setting expectations (at least mine does.) Sure that last conversation “only” cost $0.08 but since I’m now paying it better damn well work and not fuck up my code. And even though it was only $0.08 I’ll be cranky that I have to undo its changes because it went down a rabbit hole and now need to reprompt it or ask it what the hell it thinks it’s doing… costing yet another $0.08.

Sure it’s a few pennies but it does add up. I’m sure there is some research or term / explanation for this phenomenon.
America has much more serious problems with rail, but the UK experience still isn't great. The broad root cause is that back in the day we had the genius idea of paying multiple private companies to run trains on shared lines. We set up metrics to measure their performance that, bluntly, do not work. They underinvest and when there's any sign they're not making money, they hand the contract back. All in all, we get all the disadvantages of a nationalised system with all the disadvantages of a privatised system with a couple of original problems thrown in for good measure.

But the train near my house still runs.

It's a positional good, in effect there can never be "enough" supply. Short of a socialist/communist system, people will always compete for the best, using whatever resources they can bring to bear.
Yeah I feel that too. It's kinda hard to go away from a book, even a borrowed one and I have no idea why. Maybe I'm trying to convince myself that I should like the book but I don't.

I used to read a lot of books including classics and others when I was younger, before 25, but then Internet took off so I barely read books. When my son was born a few years ago I tried to go back and found my interests narrowed to a niche.

Anyway, maybe I shouldn't complain as it helps to focus...

Around 2011 or so, when facebook went IPO, there was a sudden step-jump in engineer total comp in silicon valley. Prior to that, a tech-job was just another job, and the path to riches was via startups and risk taking.

Then, because of FOMO, free-money-era, etc, the big tech firms competed for the best engineers by matching comp which jacked up the comps across the board. This made jobs at big tech very lucrative with hordes of engineers trying to get their foot in the door. The risk-reward tilted to joining big-tech versus startups.

Post covid, comp is normalizing, and I hope we get back to a scenario where, startups and risk taking become the pathway to riches - so that the best engineers are not lured by big tech comp, and work at startups.

The solution is to once again enable applying for asylum at the embassies and consulates. Then nobody has to drown.

Apart from the many people being killed by random North African country, like what is happening currently with migrants in Libya. That's not fine at all.

Humanitarian reasons, not ideological.
This just isn't true at all.

Pigs are used when we need models of physiology, like entire organ systems --- to know how something will affect large organ systems (this is also why xenotransplantation focuses on pigs so heavily). They aren't otherwise special when it comes to animal models of human disease. In terms of popularity as disease models they are a footnote. They're so infrequently used that the average survey of animal models of human disease will mention them only in passing, at best. https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/24/21/15821

Pigs are not more likely to give us zoonotic diseases than other animals. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7563794/ They are no more carriers of diseases that we're vulnerable to than cattle or chickens.
why are you considering the switch? just AI features or did Apple's monopoly break it for you?
Regulations create the competitive environment that these free market proponents like to talk about as it puts all competitors on a level playing field, usually raising the bar to some minimum they all must do that is a benefit to consumers and the environment. With no regulation megacorps are free to use their size and money to crate anti competitive environment to win rather than compete on the merits of their product, or just buy out the competition.
Just curious. Why didn't they come back earlier?

Turning 8 days into 9 months seems bad. Really really bad.

I recently bought my wife a Pixel 8 ($500) and myself a Moto G Stylus ($175). The Pixel has a better camera, but that seems to be about it.

Something I like about my Moto is that it has a sdcard slot. That means I can sync up my entire music library (~600GB). That means I only need a small phone service plan ($15/mo). It also means I get to listen to all the Wilco I want while riding my bike down by the river where there's shoddy reception. There's also a headphone jack, which still comes in handy.

My lament is that as phones get more expensive, they seem to get less useful/interesting.
Serious question: does "AI" in a product description make you want to buy it more, or less?

It's not just the US that has these draconian and abusive laws.

In the UK you can be detained at the border without being given any reasons why, you don't have the right to a lawyer and you don't have the right to NOT answer the questions of the border agents. You also have to disclose the passwords to your phone and computer.

Then,they usually seize your devices for an arbitrary amount of time before eventually releasing you.

This applies to British citizens or foreigners.

It seems that the world is slowly but surely sliding in the wrong direction.
I have recommended devices in the past to family specifically because of the bad/annoying things those devices don't do, so I, as family IT support, don't have to clean up the fallout.
I've got a better, probably incoming situation:

I ask a deep-thinking LLM for a blog article, and to deliver that, it requests images from another LLM.
Coding is only half the interesting part. Get that MCP to start looking through your logs and figuring out some issue. Then have it look at your code, your db schema and your platform config in terraform and all of a sudden things get pretty wild.
> Run with that message for generations, throw in members of "this group of people" actually killing your friends and family, and it's easy to see how that message works.

Oh, absolutely. But the way to solve that is to realize that it was authoritarianism that started the problem.

If the Arab states had been willing to talk about the concept of a Jewish state in the Middle East immediately after WWII, this probably doesn't happen. Instead a bunch of authoritarian rulers (most of them monarchs) decided to send troops to try to snuff out the founding of the new state. "I was put here by God; what I say goes" was their entire experience, and they tried applying it to the geopolitical disagreement in their region.

A bunch of countries who more-or-less sat out WWII were up against the survivors of industrialized state-backed efforts to wipe out their people during the bloodiest war in human history. As we know, the former lost, and with it, any real chance of establishing a meaningful state for the Palestinian people on their terms.

There's two ways to handle a loss: you can accept it on reasonable terms, or you can keep digging a hole. Egypt and Jordan eventually came around to reasonable terms. So far, those terms have held over multiple governments and decades on both sides.

If the continued method taken by Hamas (and by extension, Iran) is going to be that of violence, particularly against a state they have to know, deep down, that they can't beat, then there's not too much else to be done other than keep the region from falling further into chaos. That, whether it is right or wrong in the minds of American voters, means blunting the impact of enemy action against Israel. It's one of the bloodiest examples of realpolitik.
I haven't tried Konva. But have been using fabric js for an image editor I've been working on. I guess they both do a good job.
DigitalOcean VPC Peering Technical Deep Dive
Do they even need inputs to train on outputs by inferring inputs? Swear I’ve seen papers about this. Not to mention training reward models to grade the output… they could absolutely get around the “we don’t train on your inputs”

Also, doesn’t Claude Code count every input as “feedback?”

Plus, they forbid us from training on our own chat logs. That’s a form of vendor lock in. Way better to use local LLMs

At some point there ought to be a paradigm shift toward service providers with more reasonable legal terms (IMHO) but too often we pretend nobody reads them or cares

If they’re claiming not to learn from inputs, and we’re subject to prohibition about learning from outputs, what the heck is the point?

No, OsStr is for OSes that don't encode strings as UTF-8, e.g. Windows by default. Use Path or PathBuf for paths, they're not strings. Pretty much every OS has either some valid strings that aren't valid paths (e.g. the filename `CON` on Windows is a valid string but not valid in a path), some valid paths that aren't valid strings (e.g. UNIX allows any byte other than 0x00 in paths, and any byte other than 0x00 or `/` in filenames, with no restrictions to any text encoding), or both.

Extracting this from my comment on a subthread to add color to the discussion here.

They announced in a blog post that they went from $1m ARR to $100m ARR in 18 months (Feb 2021 -> July 2022). [1]

Reuters in the article posted here reports they were at $500m ARR when they last raised in mid-2024, meaning they went from $100m to $500m in around 2 years.

One would thus speculate they are likely a few hundred million above the half-a-billion figure today.

The multiple still appears a little high to me (particularly given it's all-cash, which Google doesn't even have) but what do I know.

Same here, I listen to a lot of music and I refuse to buy e-waste earbuds with tiny ass non user replaceable batteries that will fail in a few years at best while delivering audio quality on par with $30 wired buds.

Dongles are a pain in the ass and keep disconnecting if you look at them the wrong way (walking, gym, &c.). If it wasn't for the camera quality I'd already have moved to something else, when the phone dies I might go back to a dedicated audio device
Fiction is hard for me too, but I was able to reincorporate it by making it more social. I joined a local book club and they often read fiction books, so it's usually the better fiction out there and not stuff that I would pick out myself. I almost make it like a reading assignment, but if I don't like it, I will just not read it and say I didn't like it and listen to the discussion.

My wife also reads fiction so occasionally I'll read a book she is so we have something to talk about.
I must have missed that they got acquired by Amazon.
Show HN: AGX – Open-Source Data Exploration for ClickHouse (The New Standard?)
Hey HN,

We are excited to announce that we’ve open-sourced AGX, a fast and lightweight data explorer for ClickHouse. It is designed for developers and analysts who want to leverage SQL-native querying in an IDE-like environment.

Here’s what makes AGX stand out:

- Built on ClickHouse (accessible via embedded chdb or remote instance).

- IDE-like user interface: features tabs, a Monaco editor, and a fast keyboard workflow.

- Zero setup required: no infrastructure or complex dashboards to manage.

- Ideal for exploring live blockchain data, while also flexible enough for general ClickHouse usage

Think of it as a snappier, developer-oriented alternative to Tabix or Datagrip. You can try out a live instance at https://agx.app!
The human is using a seed, whether implicitly or explicitly.

You can generate the same thing every time.
