At some point (possibly already?), having no federal contracts will be a massive competitive advantage.

I’d argue that some company blogs which ultimately are ads, are better than this one. If I read adobes blog about their new updated thing, I know what I’m in for. This type of blog post poses as interesting insight, but it’s just clickbai

My understanding of rental properties is that you want to optimize for low costs and low maintenance, low taxes, and maximum rental yield. Those are absolutely not the things I look for in a permanent home. They might happen accidentally, b

That’s really interesting, thanks for the detailed response. Honestly makes me wish I’d had better advice when we traded up. And I also ignored the “you’re keeping the old house right?” from a few relatively wise friends. Should’ve asked fo

Damn. That makes a lot of sense. We sold our place that was on 2.75% and bought at 7. Ouch.

I never interpreted it as that; interesting way to look at it. I think it did a good job of setting expectations. Most people would be (and, initially very much were) disappointed to find out the OS was basically just a web browser. At leas

I think folks are maybe saying that beyond a “thanks, what you did was really meaningful to me”, there’s often not much else. People who selflessly give are stoked to know you’ve amplified the giving and passed it on, more than any kind of

Sure, but this is HN. The level of critical thinking is far higher IMO. I personally believe that especially on a forum such as this, it’s fine to expose the administrations claims to daylight and let them be examined and criticized and eve

As someone who knows absolutely nothing about what’s happening in LA, it is actually useful to hear what the govt is claiming as a justification, then the reader can judge how valid it is.

Ah, it’s Thorsten Ball! I thoroughly enjoyed his “writing an interpreter”. I guess I’m going to build an agent now.

That’s a nice thought, but naive. What about, for example, a higher-tier support person performing QA over someone else’s work? What about DFIR teams doing research on potential abuse? Etc etc.

Maybe? I can see what you’re saying, but the real world can move as slow as sludge at times. These aren’t smartphones that are relatively easily produced, shipped, and purchased by users. Second order effects like load on an aging power gri

Problems: if the thief steals your item while the AirTag is on, they can find and disable it. Have you experimented with a setup (more complicated to package) where you have two AirTags and alternately power one at a time? Could that bypass

I’m optimistic and hopeful about electrification, but gas cars are simply not going anywhere soon. Increasing their efficiency might not be the ultimate endgame, but it sure is a positive increment.

The concept of being able to reference a raw memory address and then access the data at that location directly feels pretty basic computer science. Perhaps you do software engineering in a given language/framework? A clutch is fundamen

Step 1 is things like encrypted firmware, so I’d suspect SpaceX does nothing or is reactive - they had debug pins until someone published attacks utilizing them.

I can’t see an answer here: how does an air compressor start an engine?

I think you’ve proved your own point: yeah they could launch the next brave, but then they’d have brave and not chrome. 99.9999% of the world haven’t heard of brave.

I’m not a verification expert - do we know or assume that the F* to C compiler preserves the verified code completely? And doesn’t introduce issues?

LLMs were entirely text not that long ago. Multi modality is new; you won’t have to wait too long until they can do what you’re describing.

I mostly agree, because most proof-of-concepts don’t make it very far, and LLM assisted dev is really strong for that kind of low-barriers experimentation. The problem is that if you build quick n dirty, but then end up reaching success; yo

SAR sounds like it’s doing the heavy lifting here. Can anyone shed light on how SAR and ML works together? Radar data fed into feature identification?
