The object store I have created offers a fast, convenient way to attach multiple tags to each object. Each tag is a single value which can be a string, number, boolean, datetime stamp, etc..

You can still organize things using folders, but you can query for things based off their tags as well.

Show HN: Envkit – Bring your own key
I've been looking for ways to help dev teams onboard people to their projects faster, and we came up with Envkit.

It's a seamless way to manage environment variables in your applications with built-in validation, UI fallbacks for missing variables, and cross-framework compatibility.

Try out https://envkit.co. I'd love your feedback.
> when they don't make use of the patent themselves, except to extract money from other people, typically through threats of legal action.

If someone has (what you have called) 'a legitimate patent' then they have the right (whether they use the patent or not) to then pursue legal action to either stop use of the patent or to settle for money damages.

What companies don't like is someone coming along with the ability to engage legal help that they wouldn't be able to do with out the attorneys that are handling this (to gain a payoff for themselves which well attorneys do for other things).

However while this seems different than similar things that happen (with actual companies with legal resources) it's really just the same thing just by different parties.

If let's say General Electric has a patent on something and you use that patent GE can come after you (and probably will). Same as with large companies defending their IP (trademarks).

Ubuntu lost its way a long time ago. Pushing Snap by default, ads in the Unity Dash search, ads in the terminal... Unity itself was a misstep, and around the time the distro started going downhill for me.

I don't follow it much these days, but nothing really surprises me from Canonical anymore. They leech off free software just like any other corporation.

This is what stuck out to me when I first watched it. Sleepytime is a masterpiece not only for the music but the whole episode. Everything about it is perfect. The pacing, the feelings, the moments, even the humor (Jupiter's giant spot).

Many bluey episodes are like this. But Sleepytime especially stands out.

In the US, the bias is the other way: Effectively, the Constitution gerrymanders the US Senate in favor of rural populations. Every state gets two senators, so highly urban states with much greater population have fewer senators per person than rural states with much less population.

That also biases presidential elections, due to the way the Electoral College is calculated.
I admit ambiguity, but I meant 180 opposite. I believe France is and has been the top at individual freedom. That perception is an important reason I'm there, so I acted on it.
I don't know about YT kids, but Ms Rachel on YouTube is a really good show for babies / toddlers. On Netflix there's Kit & Sam that's a really cool series, it's apparently from the same makers as octonauts which I don't think is as good, but my daughter actually prefers (probably more age appropriate). Gigantosaur is a really cool one on Netflix as well.

We mostly use YouTube for Ms Rachel and watching music video clips (from the Sing movies and Disney movies). I don't know how it is in the US but here in the NL Netflix has licensed a whole bunch of great kids shows and we don't really use any other apps because of that.

We can also compare locales that implement do implement $policy and ones that don't. As with anything it's not perfect but it can be indicative.

For the exact same reason it's often so difficult to tease out the impact of policies in data, it's even harder to reason through what will happen from first principles. And yet for someone who wants to hold up actual science and double-blind studies, you seem awfully eager to throw out what precious little data we do have to just go with your gut.

Vegan came from vegetarian. Signatory came from sign. When you alter spelling enough, people assume general pronunciation rules.

Since regex ultimately comes from Latin and has a g followed by an e, pronouncing it with a soft g is rather natural.
Answers immediate question about control, as it tends not to converge into more essential metrics. Am I safe to forget about and expect this not to surprise all, and is control.
While I agree with you this cost isn't really borne by the people employing the human. Maybe the community, the taxpayer, even parents, but not the employer. As such these costs you mention are "sunk" - in the end as an employer I either take on a human ready to go or try to develop robots. That cost is subsidized effectively via community agreement not just for economics but for societal reasons. Generally as an trades employer I'm not "big tech" with billions of dollars in my back pocket to try R&D on long shots like AI/Google Deepmind/etc that most people thought would never go anywhere (i.e. the AI winter) - I'm usually a small business servicing a given area.

I'm not saying the robots aren't coming - just that it will take longer and being disrupted last gives you the most opportunity to extract higher income for longer and switch to capital vs labor for your income. I wouldn't be surprised if robots don't make any inroads into the average person's live in the coming decade for example. As intellectual fields are disrupted purchasing power will transfer to the rest of society including people not yet affected by the robots making capital accumulation for them even easier at the expense of AI disrupted fields.

It is a MUCH safer path to provide for yourself and others assuming capitalism in a field that is comparatively scarce with high demand. Scarcity and barriers to entry (i.e. moats) are rewarded through higher prices/wages/etc. Efficiency while beneficial for society as a whole (output per resource increases) tends to punish the efficient since their product comparatively is less scarce than others. This is because, given same purchasing power (money supply) this makes intelligence goods cheaper and other less disrupted goods more expensive all else being equal. I find tech people often don't have a good grasp of how efficiency and "cool tech" interacts with economics and society in general.

In the age of AI the value of education and intelligence per unit diminishes relative to other economic traits (e.g. dexterity, social skills, physical fitness, etc). Its almost ironic that the intellectuals themselves, from a capitalistic viewpoint, will be the ones that destroy their own social standing and worth comparatively to others. Nepotism, connections and skilled physical labor will have a higher advantage in the new world compared to STEM/intelligence based fields. Will be telling my kids to really think before taking on a STEM career for example - AI punishes this career path economically and socially IMO.
While the point here is generally true, investor owned utilities have revenues (i.e. electricity rates) that are tied to their expenses. That's the reason they have to ask for a rate increase; if the rate increase was designed to juice their profit margin to 30%, it would likely be denied (not guaranteed, but likely).

So this is one industry where you'd expect revenue to increase in proportion to expenses.

You appear to be confused about the concept of consumers, let me help. Consumers are the people who buy things. When there are fewer consumers in a market, demand for products and services declines. This means less sales. So no, you don't get to unemploy big chunks of the population and expect business to continue thriving.
Disabling biometrics the whole time you're in the US is a bit extreme unless you have a target on your back, but most phones have a way to quickly disable biometrics until you next unlock with your PIN. At least learn how to do that just in case the shit unexpectedly hits the fan, on iPhones you press the power button 5 times in a row.
Even US citizens have basically no rights at a border. You can be subjected to any search without warrants. And this applies to within 100 miles of a coast or border, which is pretty much every major city.

The real way to minimize risk is to not carry any sensitive data, as in the first item on that pamphlet, and restore from a backup once you get past the screening. This is a little difficult with mobile phones, however.
Yeah, that's trivial. But law has so many edge cases and seemingly it always favor either powerful or wealthy individuals.

GPU drivers take SPIR-V code (either "kernels" for OpenCL/SYCL drivers, or "shaders" for Vulkan Compute) which is not that different at least in principle. There is also a LLVM-based soft-implementation that will just compile your SPIR-V code to run directly on the CPU.

I'm not sure of that at all. Cities have many poeple who are members of black and brown minorities, unpopular religions, undocumented people, and immigrants - those are groups that might prefer to avoid government attention and often are very suspicious.
> I think I’m missing something here. PA defines x * 0 = 0 for all x. So while we could take (Z+, 1, ++) as a model of it, we would be imposing a completely different definition of multiplication than the usual. Would this not be simply choosing to label 1 as 0 and work from there?

Despite the name, in the usual mathematical meaning of the term, Peano arithmetic does not define arithmetic at all, only the successor operation, and everything else is built from there. Once we have those, for the model (Z_{\ge 0}, 0, ++), we certainly usually do define x0 = 0 for all x; and, you're right, if for the model (Z_{\ge 1}, 1, ++) we defined x1 = 1 for all x (as no-one could stop us from doing), then we'd just be dealing with "0 by another name." But it might be equally sensible, if our model of Peano arithmetic is (Z_{\ge 1}, 1, ++), to define x1 = x for all x, in which case we recover the expected arithmetic.

It's not like there's any alternative. We need the capabilities and there are no other comparable aircraft in production, so despite its flaws it's the F-35 or nothing. Meanwhile the F-22 airframes are wearing out, and it's too small to be fully effective in the Indo-Pacific theater, so the F-47 is needed as well. There's plenty of blame to go around for the current deplorable state of readiness but it is what it is.

And let's not have any silly claims that those manned fighters could be completely replaced by cheaper drones. Maybe that will be possible someday but for now AI software is nowhere near ready to take on the full mission set.
SWE-years are actually used for two things: a) measuring ongoing cost and b) for calculating if an investment will pay off.

There's a few benefits over just using a dollar figure. It's a unit that natural ties time to value. SWE-years is a natural unit for thinking about the time of SWEs. It's also convertible to other units. The conversion factors to other units can change over time, without having to pay attention to the minutiae.

All these factors make it useful for both measuring ongoing cost and making investment tradeoffs.
units.txt defines `water` like this:

water := gram / cm^3 // Standard density of water (defined)

1 g/cm^3 is the maximum density of water at standard pressure (1 atm), which it reaches at 3.98°C.

(Or at least, that used to be true by definition. Using the current definition of the kilogram, and the latest measurements of water density, the maximum density is actually closer to 0.99997 g/cm^3.)

E2ee is essential for a society to protect itself against internal threats like tyrants.

I am absolutely sure they do. The problem is taste. And they are as you said not product people. A high bar for quality expectation. If we remember 50% of people cant taste the difference between Coca Cola and Pepsi, while some others could taste which Coca Cola they were manufactured.

And that is what Steve has been saying, you need to care about the product way beyond normal people do. And have the energy to try and push things forward.

The expectation are exceptionally high because we compared it to Steve Jobs era. But even if we lower the standard modern Apple is still not good enough as it is.

To quote Steve Jobs. Stop chasing the bottle line which is what Tim Cook is doing, and start making sure your Top line is done correctly.

There is more to the LLM research going on besides chat bots like ChatGPT. Lots of much more advanced sentiment analysis, translations, etc. Definitely not saying it's perfect, but it's better than nothing. Again with the Facebook/Myanmar example, there were posts at the time that were practically "help us kill X minority group" in the native language and Facebook was powerless without automated at-scale translation and sentiment analysis. Anything is (usually?) an improvement over nothing.
Some comments on that 2009 article.

[1] Step 6 will probably never happen if you show a border guard or customs official an article about encryption. You will not get safely through customs, you’ll end up on a secret list and get hassled every single time you travel for the rest of your life. As the database you’re in ages (and people begin to forget how it was created), you might be simply barred entry into places you want to go.

[2] This kind of elaborate setup will make you loose your computer at the customs. They will ask you to boot it up… when you’ll not be able to do that, they’ll will not listen to your story and will just keep the computer.

[3] The solution you propose will just make you look like a dangerous bad guy to the border guards. They want to inspect your laptop, and you propose to tell them that you’re resorting to extreme measures to foil them. Very bad move.

[4] Putting yourself in a situation where local police are holding you while they try to extort something from your family is what most people try to avoid when travelling!
I'd argue it's not extreme enough: Use an alphanumeric password or passphrase, as long as you can tolerate, instead of a PIN.
On one level it does apply to certificates.

On another level, pushing a compromised update to every phone in Europe (to gain access equivalent to having a copy of the backdoor) would be noticed by the publisher, and the binary difference would quickly be found by security researchers.

In France, like a lot of other countries, they are blaming everything on the immigrants.

Crime? Immigrants are doing it.

These things are not backed up by data, but just like the US, or Nazi Germany, nobody cares, simply easier to choose an easy "solution" and blame immigrants.
Makes sense. Maybe drive-in theaters too.
One of the most important steps of my career was being forced to write code for an 8051 microcontroller. Then writing firmware for an ARM microcontroller to make it pretend it was that same 8051 microcontroller.

/s/LISP/Prolog and you've basically described the old "Fifth Generation" research project. Unfortunately it turns out that trying to parallelize Prolog is quite a nightmare, the language is really, really not built for it. So the whole thing was a dead-end in practice. Arguably we didn't have a real "fifth-gen" programming language prior to Rust, given how it manages to uniquely combine ease of writing parallel+concurrent code with bare-metal C like efficiency. (And Rust is now being used to parallelize database query, which comfortably addresses the actual requirement that Prolog had been intended for back then - performing "search" tasks on large and complex knowledge bases.)
I've seen this personally. Google does not allow GPL code to imported into the massive monorepo. If I needed a library and the only good OSS option was GPL, I'd write it from scratch instead. I'd also usually not open source those things if this wasn't part of an already open source project, because it wasn't worth the effort.
