I think the future -may- be a hosted routing client. Something similar to an auth client app. Why? A few reasons: - Customers being able to decide their own routing with true logic is a huge feature. Open router provides the seamless switch

Yes to all this but more. The thing that made me leave and go to a single provider was token caching. I have to keep blocking providers that don't properly cache. I see performance tank and then I look in the logs and a new provider ha

I suspect the pilots knew it wasn't a great approach but it just didn't click how bad it was. They just felt committed to the approach and thought they could 'fix it' without realizing how bad things really were. Having

It has been, from the start and even before FSD had any basis in reality and was just sci-fi stories, obvious that FSD would eventually get here. The only question has been when. We clearly aren't there yet but it is pretty obvious we

What is needed is accountability and transparency. Accountability is criminal charges. Transparency is warning labels on products similar to cigarette warnings. This is digital assault and needs to be treated that way.

When people believe they are being watched they act differently. Essentially you are coercing them. People need a reasonable sense of privacy to be able to act freely so, to me, this means that privacy is a central requirement of freedom. T

'The first clean sheet airliner to be flown in any category. electric or not, in the US in the last 18 years' This is the statement that matters and why I think electric is a huge deal. We can't get new designs into the air.

Lots of down votes on this but it is a legitimate question. The goal is likely to have the majority of flight off of batteries. That being said, the total weight of the emergency fuel plus generators is likely far less than the weight of th

muse-spark-1.3-contributor. Say what you want and Meta, changing the pricing to explicitly say 'we train on this and value it this much' is what every model provider should do. As a side note, it is now completely obvious how much

I think if Idiocracy were re-released today about the only thing it would change would be that misinformation would be the major driver at the start. Pretty much everything else holds, including predicting the rise of Crocks.

Not a mac/UMA discussion point, but is it time to add additional, installable, DDR5 to GPUs? I can see this as a win/loose. PCIe 5x16 is close to maxing out the bandwidth available from high end dual channel DDR5 now, but not quit

Looks like some interest in this idea so I will refine it a little. The core question is about the bond value. There are some competing things here: A small time creator should be able to defend themselves against DMCA attacks on them (they

The answer here is simple: If you submit a content strike you must provide a bond. If the content strike is reversed the bond is used to pay damages. The argument of 'people must review' is really just an argument of cost. The amo

This is cruel. This is stupid. But more broadly important to this group, this will continue to push skilled workers out of the US and into friendlier countries. It will continue to erode our soft power since countries will have fewer econom

The logo. Definitely the logo. It both sucks you in and repels you at the same time. 'eye catching' to say the least, but so are laser pointers.

I do both and I get involved locally. There isn't one magic solution. Some make more difference than others.

My final argument about term limits actually is news today. Politicians will throw out democracy to stay in power by disenfranchising people. You want to stay in power? Just make sure the other side can't vote. Use your authority to bl

A 'hack' that works has a different name, it is called a solution. You will never get 'better voters'. Wishing and wanting for something isn't a plan. How do we get better voters? What is the system that encourages

I think age is a bad marker to go off of as well. Different people age in different ways. My point about term limits is limiting total power a person can wield in their lifetime. As a thought experiment, consider if people could live to 300

This is why we need term limits everywhere. People are living longer. Without term limits on every position democracy won't survive.

I think it is past time to admit that a lot of the roots of our current issues, both culturally and economically, can be traced back to the Regan era. Culture wars have always been a thing, but 'the moral majority' throwing out re

We are leaving the time when trust allowed trade agreements that went beyond the maximum minimum with the US. Trust allowed countries to make agreements with the US that had obvious potentials for exploitation, but overall they were followe

I don't see an easy test here. Worse, I see the beginnings of a test that is technical and very likely to not match the future of how we will interact with these things. We have to start somewhere but I'm not sure 'Neither me

Again, this is a wealth tax. Rich get driven around and don't loose their jobs for loosing their license. Try being poor though and having this happen. Edit: should have said 'poor tax'

Perfectly equal enforcement really isn't possible, but it should be the policy to enforce in proportion to active harm. The bigger the ongoing active harm, the quicker to react we should be. Some individual torrents a single movie? NBD

If this was a competitive market some suppliers would be ramping up pc memory and avoiding the AI buildout. But instead we see all of them diverting to GPU memory and cutting production of PC related parts universally. This sure looks like

Vox did a great video on this a few years ago. [1] Bottom line, growing cow feed in the desert is wasteful and stupid. Blaming cities and industry is just a diversion. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0gN1x6sVTc

Yesterday an article on tipping hit HN and this reminds me of it. When you remove barriers people spend freely. Start throwing stupid pause moments, the value doesn't match the advertised price because of x fee, y tax, z undisclosed se
