From the comments that Musk has made over the last few months, this appears to be as intended. He doesn't seem to view the API as a benefit to the company nor a fit for his plans on where he wants to go with it.

Has Google contributed some of these changes back to Postgres? I went looking and even a search for "alloydb" in some postgres mailing lists return no results. It has some very exciting features, I was a bit surprised to see nobody talking about it.

Copilot has an option (maybe beta users only) to see alternative generations for a prompt. It's really handy because some generations are one-liners while others are entire functions.

Perhaps this is infeasible with the current cost per generation but a multiple choice display could be handy (perhaps split the screen into quadrants and pick the one that most fits what you prefer).

I’ve made my own personal vote against this behaviour by no longer patronizing businesses that do this.

The only way (short of legislation) for consumers to change tipping is for businesses to be aware that having pinpads with options like this means they’re going out of business.

I scrolled through and didn't see anywhere that they defined what "complete" meant. It could be as simple as Canada counts a skyscraper as completed when the first residents move in versus perhaps America counts it as completed when the roof is done. This may initially sound dumb... but it can mean a lot "legally speaking".

My understanding is Canada and America have very similar building codes and construction plans. Indeed, many of these construction companies are multinational.

Very cool. Effectively, ChatGPT is using tools now. I wonder how much longer before it evolves opposable thumbs :)

The reality is that everyone alive is susceptible to these scams. No human is impervious to being victimized by these groups. They will pay good money for information to target people. Originally, some scammers would aim for early morning hours just as people are waking up, their brains are still groggy and vastly more susceptible to making an error. However, now that so much public information is available you can easily craft scams that are indistinguishable from reality. Scammers leverage this along with a common theme of "urgency" to minimize the time period that someone has to realize they are being taken for a ride.

Understanding this, banks have crafted Zelle to pass the responsibility down to the customer. It was a very smart move (from the financial industry's perspective).

This extortion is so common that it has an entire subreddit devoted to it (/r/sextortion) and it's often busier than the /r/scams subreddit.

Wow, there are so many of these spreadsheet wrapper around data products now. It feels like a new one shows up on HN every day. Just yesterday https://mathesar.org was on here and there's been at least another dozen or so in recent weeks.

I suspect that the space really needs to target specific use cases and nail those experiences.

My understanding is the Vancouver store is the only one that regularly hit its targets.

Fundamentally, similar to freelancing sites that learned their customers were really the businesses paying for work... airbnb has learned its customers are the businesses renting out rooms. There's an unlimited supply of people seeking work or a place to stay. There is a limited supply of paying for work or renting out rooms.

Hence, it's very much not in airbnb's interest to "crack down" on people renting out rooms. They know it's a problem as they have all the data. They willingly refuse to act.

Paypal stranded me in Atlanta when I rented a room for a week and they denied the charge. So I called their customer service and got the worst customer service experience of my life. The rep would talk over me, literally speak gibberish, and then hung up.

That was the end of my interactions with PayPal.

Bots have been improving a lot in recent years. It may be that the future is not multiplayer but single player with excellent bots... maybe Sliders got the end times wrong :)

One must only take a glance at the ownership breakdown of any major story on Ground News and it will be rather clear they may be onto something.

3 or 4 conglomerates are often 85%+ of the news sources.

There’s a lot of bad networks out there. I won a number of Fortnite battle royals testing this and it was rock solid 120 fps, barely any detectable latency at the 10 ms ping I was getting.

The lack of noise actually made me prefer it over my gaming box. It’s a real home run for people fortunate enough to have excellent network connections to nvidia’s data centres.

If you’re just scrolling the comments, I recommend checking this out. It’s a lot funnier than I expected :)

GPT does a great job of making it marginally believable while completely unpossible. Love it!

Reading this really points out to me how killer of a deal that GeforceNow is. I truly don't understand why more publishers don't allow their games on the platform.

It was shot down in the Yukon, jets from Alaska were likely the closest to the target.

oh it was with buildx (which uses qemu) as GitHub Actions run in x64. I was showing a specific example of arm64 build tooling challenges small startups encounter (Github Actions lack of arm job runners in this case). My arm64 builds on arm64 architecture scream.

Completely agree... the only exception I've run into is that for small operations build tooling often doesn't work well with arm64.

EG: GitHub actions can build a container in a few minutes in x64 or 35 minutes in arm64... likewise aws-cdk literally could not run an arm64 fargate ecs deployment for months after support was added (They simply did not support the required attribute in the container definition).

I would love to see this change as I've had nothing but great experiences with graviton for virtually anything arm supported.

Do you use VSCode? Add the tailwind autocomplete plugin. It's intellisence for your tailwind config. Huge productivity boon when learning tailwind.

This is not as rare as public clouds may lead people to believe. I have had to move workloads around since AWS began (even between public clouds on occasion).

In particular, GPU availability has been a continuing problem. Unlike interchangeable x64 / arm64 instances with some adjustments based on the new core and ram count... if no GPU instances are available then I simply cannot run the job. AMD's improved support has increasingly provided an alternative in some situations but the problem persists.

I recommend doing the work to make the business somewhat cloud agnostic, or at the very least multi-region capable. I realize this is not an option for some services that have no equivalent on other clouds but you mentioned databases and k8s clusters which are both supported elsewhere.

This comment doesn't make sense to me. Epic broke one of the major tenets of their contract with Apple. Apple faced losing a significant revenue stream if Epic's efforts were allowed to continue. In particular, since they intend to use the same model for future devices in other verticals, they would have also lost out on a simply colossal amount of future revenue.

The business case on this was a slam dunk. Other companies running virtual product stores with similar terms would have done the same irrespective of how popular Epic's products were.

I'm surprised Ambrosia scored so poorly. Ambrosia was a taste explosion and remains a fond memory even now years later. Perhaps it has a narrow optimal for eating period.

Honey Crisp is similar and generally my consolation buy as it's far more common to find.

HolyC is TempleOS's primary language. Previous to its creation the author had a mental breakdown... this should explain everything quite clearly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TempleOS

The way that this is formatted... I initially thought it was a Haiku :)

There's so much production code in C++ that it will have a long tail like Fortran even if people were to stop launching new products with it.

You're totally right, some of the articles I looked at focused on tangential causes... whereas analysis of moves compared to decisions by a vastly superior system has got to be the smoking gun.

I suppose new algorithms will be designed or trained to account for the user's performance history.

Why don't cheaters just use two machines or even just their phone and a laptop? The evidence is often around other processes or browser tabs running on their device (and in this case also focus loss) but an immediate thought must be to simply use multiple devices.

Indeed as VOIP numbers are banned. However, I know a number of people that aren't using DALL-E because they only have VOIP numbers (This is an ever growing reality today). They got to the phone step and were unable to continue (and support never replied to their requests for help).
