This is a great idea in that they’ll likely also patch their stuff when they discover the other team has exploited it.

That's actually one of the goals of thunderbolt. With thunderbolt you can be assured of certain capabilities whereas usb-c is increasingly the Wild West.

Many of these providers have deals like 100 MB for $5 which would be an inexpensive way to evaluate their network.

That said, as noted by others T-Mobile actually offers exactly what you seek :)

Original "false" story gets 351 points... rebuttal gets 6.

We're all very lucky that CitizenLab exists as they are often the first discovery point of numerous similar exploits. They proactively scan the phones of internationally sensitive people and publish their findings. I'm not aware of any other public service that has had this much success exposing mobile device attacks. Attacks which have completely and utterly compromised the entire device that someone keeps with them all day every day.

I tip my hat to CitizenLab and the good work they do.

I'm going to be a bit of a naysayer here and comment that while I fully appreciate and endorse TypeScript... there are certainly situations where Javascript would be preferred. EG: Deno also dropped TypeScript internally.

What they've done seems a bit rough around the edges and a types file of some sort for external facing customers is a critical follow-up PR, but I would not blindly trash these guys for switching to Javascript. I suspect they did it so quickly because it would have sat in committee for eternity otherwise.

I probably wouldn't write anything in pure JavaScript today when TypeScript is such an enormous boon... but I'm also not working in the space that this project is working in.

In the lk99 subreddit, a higher res video was posted https://www.douyin.com/video/7263715495256378659

Canada actually has a national crown corporation that exists solely to improve housing affordability https://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca . They funded or built significant housing supply for decades up until the 1990s when their funding plummeted. Wikipedia has an excellent history write up of CMHC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_Mortgage_and_Housing_Co...

Every time I hear the Canadian government responding to this housing crisis... the only thing they do is pass policies that enable people to buy even "more" expensive houses.

For example, their big move last year was to let people sock another $8000 away to put towards a house tax free while at the same time increasing immigration to eye popping levels. Another thing to note with Canadian immigrant strategies, these numbers often don't include "temporary" students and others which use the program "on mass" to immigrate into Canada if they didn't succeed through other means.

An immigration explosion is typically excellent but it must be matched with housing development growth and Canada is literally doing the opposite... mind boggling.

Interestingly, instead of resolving this important problem... the legislation they're passing is ostensibly credits to allow people to spend even MORE on housing.

Tailwind simplifies part of that problem since you don't need to map to the myriad of custom class names in use, rather you solely need to preprocess off the tailwind config.

Companies like Bifrost (YC W22) are working on this problem and already automatically generate React components from Figma autolayout designs.

Really looking forward to this progressing to automatic React component generation and onto bidirectional sync; prompting automatic pull requests on Figma changes for affected components.

I find that there are few tasks in software development more uninteresting than converting Figma designs into React components. The day I no longer have to do that will be a great day indeed :)

In my experience, whenever volunteer mod positions open, there is a near infinite supply of people that want those roles. For whatever reasons, people want it and those that have it typically seek to hold onto it.

It's borderline inexplicable to me. How could someone want this in the first place and how could they be willing to do it in a volunteer capacity?

They are making a v2! You can follow progress and add suggestions on their subreddit. I’m hoping that the apple headset is a target device for them as I think it would be an excellent pairing.

Thrill of the Fight has the highest average calorie burn in VR right now.

Some games give me that experience:

1. Thrill of the Fight. Boxing standing up throwing fists and blocking with precision just doesn’t exist with controllers.

2. Blaston believe it or not. I really enjoyed hiding behind barriers dodging shots and leaping out to grab power ups.

3. The table tennis game. Swinging my arm like a real paddle was so realistic and the shots are just not reproducible with such precision.

4. Golf with the cut down iron shaft. Again, the fidelity of the shots just isn’t possible otherwise. You can get the same thing at some sports bars but it costs way more :)

This movie is scoring well with 98% on rotten tomatoes and 7.9 on imdb. I loved it and while it's almost entirely a fictional work (in particular, none of the characters are even remotely similar to the people that led RIM)... it really hits on the feeling of a fast scaling startup challenging incumbents with innovative hardware.

Canada already has a national electronic system called Interac. It was established in 1984 and has a somewhat complicated fee schedule that generally maxes out around 35 cents per transaction. https://www.interac.ca/en/business/support/understanding-fee...

While I generally agree with your post, I would like to add that there is a plethora of tasks humans currently do that we have struggled to write acceptable algorithms for for a long time. This has blocked software development from further encroaching into those spaces.

The function approximation that AI offers is good enough to open software development to entire new aspects that have long resisted it. Even something seemingly so simple as order taking from a drive thru window has required algorithms that we have simply been unable to effectively create. We still haven't created them, but we can now approximate them.

These function approximations can now write creative stories and draw pictures of an astounding variety that would have simply been considered impossible even a decade ago. Soon that gym you mentioned will have 100 wide ranging automated app designs to pick from, or even a thousand automatically categorized by style. There will still be countless developers in the mix but they will be working on much more interesting tasks than writing a gym app that we currently allocate Human resources to.

Perhaps wages will decline, but the work will be a lot more interesting :)

There's a service that handles obtaining the cheapest spot instances to your specs by a former aws engineer https://github.com/LeanerCloud/AutoSpotting

Effectively, it starts up cheap spot instances (based on specified criteria) across a variety of instance types to replace whatever regular instance in an autoscaling group comes online and then spins down the regular instance.

EG: That m4a you wanted may be expensive... but nobody is using m4ad so it's 85% off and it meets the specified CPU/RAM requirements... auto spotting will spin it up instead.

Having used it on and off over the years it is sometimes eyebrow raising to see 4xl boxes running cheaper than the xl box they replaced :)

Does it prompt for a tip?

There is certainly a wide variety of problems today for which pgvector is unsuitable due to performance limitations... but fear not! This is an area that is getting significant focus right now.

A marqo.ai dev is currently working on adding HNSW-IVF and HNSW support https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35551684 and the maintainer has recently noted that they are actively working on an IVFPQ/ScaNN implementation https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector/issues/93

The pgAnn creator actually asked about performance a month ago here https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector/issues/58

Expect to see performance improve dramatically later this year.

There's a section in the readme describing vector space https://github.com/pgvector. . Also, the maintainer is actively working on product quantization https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector/issues/93

Supabase was also asking for sparse vectors https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector/issues/81

Speaking of the repo, they have a number of features they want to add if anyone is interested in contributing, there's lots of room for advancement. Many of these features already have active branches https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector/issues/27

Postgres has pgvector. It’s awesome.

I was using pinecone before installing pgvector in Postgres. Pinecone works and all but having the vectors in Postgres resulted in an explosion of use for us. Full relational queries with where clauses and order by etc AND vector embeddings is wicked.

You're absolutely right that there were multiple benefits and also that, while it was depicted as revenue neutral, the GST did not have the same surface area as the Manufacturer's Tax.

There was also a significant lag in the price of goods that were no longer subject to the Manufacturer's Tax. Perhaps the legislation could have included a segment that forced companies to adjust prices similar to how a dividend automatically reduces the market cap of the company that issued it.

Most economists agree it was very good legislation but politically the Conservative Party never recovered.

Wikipedia has a solid summary within https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goods_and_services_tax_(Canada...

Canada used to have a Manufacturer's Tax that was hidden to consumers in the price of goods they purchased.

A Prime Minister came along with a Finance Minister who strongly believed that Canadians should see where their money was going. So they took that Manufacturer's Tax and turned it into a highly visible revenue neutral replacement called the Goods and Services Tax.

People were furious about the GST. His government lost the next election by a landslide. All because someone thought people should see where their money was going.

She had been a Pascal programmer (at least for a bit) before moving to BC. I don't remember the details unfortunately but I do remember the surprise. :)

As nice as the route is (and it is spectacular), the characters on the trail were probably the highlight. Each of the 13 campsites are unique and since the trail has steady entry from both ends, you'd meet a new group of fun people each night. There was a diver running a Crab and Baked Potato operation at Nitinat, and the Carmanah Lightstation was handing out XL chocolate bars to anyone knocking on the door.

Here we are on the edge of the world and yet there's humanity throughout.

When I did this trail long ago I got to meet Monique (since passed) who ran a very tasty burger joint at the mid point. She had quite the operation going with a sizable garden and food boated in regularly. Exchange students ran much of the kitchen. I must admit, I had not been prepared to find myself arguing over esoteric details of Python with her. Monique was a very interesting person who was still going to school into her 70s. I fondly recall looking back to see her resting on the beach.

While I wouldn't call it a "death hike", I've had several broken bones and been involved in a number of rescues over the years, and yet I still remember the fright from almost losing multiple fingers crossing a river in a cable car when a group up ahead thought they'd pull the cable to help us... it's a rather unique trail with quite a variety of uncommon points of interest.

I’ve increasingly been using pgvector. It’s an excellent workflow when you can just include similarity search as another where clause in your sql query.
