That used to be the idea but high voltage DC lines are now more efficient than ac

There were non-apple lightning cables already.

And I have to say, the lightning connector itself is better than the usb-c connect in my opinion. I get that having the pins on the male* plug is a theoretical advantage in durability but that has not been my experience with usb-c connector durability on either end.

EDIT: usb-c has pins on the male plug. Which is what I meant. So female -> male.

I wonder if gamma ray memory corruption will induce a sort of mutation and selection effect on non-ecc-memory hosts which will make the worms effectively evolve.

The SpaceX S-1 contradicts your claim by including an optimistic "TAA" (total addressable market) figure for "the space industry". Which falls heavily short of your claim. While the SpaceX claimed total TTA is mostly (like 80%) AI-powered "enterprise applications" which don't exist and are not related to space data centers or whatever.

How is this even debatable.

I mean, look at ycombinator's latest "call for startups". Its honestly mind-boggling. Couple years ago I used to look at like every 6 months to see where venture interests lie. But now, on every "industry", its just "use ai to make more money in [industry]". The most egregious of them is the call for the "1 person unicorn" company that they believe can exist and somehow that's a call for a startup. Like, "We want to invest in companies that make a bunch of money for us". Yea, very insightful.

Big fan.

Looking forward to (hopefully) Monday.

Doesn't work for me like it used to since update 26.1. Its now extremely hard to get that to work.

How is django performance these days? I remember the average latencies(100ms+) for even simple things being a non-starter for me.

That product saw little adoption due to privacy concerns about privacy, and pretty much languished.

This sentence reeks AI-writing

America doing American things:

"Are we freakin' Asians?"

What this is saying is again, that MCP is not a protocol. Which is the point of MCP, making it essentially worthless because it doesn't define actual behavioral rules, it can only describe existing rules informally.

This is because defining a formal system, that can do everything MCP promises to enable, is a logical impossibility.

As I've been saying.

MCP is not a protocol. It doesn't protocolize anything of use. It's just "here's some symbols, do with them whatever you want.", leaving it there but then advertising that as a feature of its universality. It provides almost just as much of a protocol as TCP, but rebuild on 5 OSI layers, again.

It's not a security issue, it's a ontological issue.

It's literally just a mediocre api spec.

With creating 0 added value you can wrap your normal http+json "rest" api so it's mcp.

You should not be using antivirus browser plugins anyway.

If the fix/solution would be easily describable and automate-able, it wouldn't/shouldn't be a problem anyway. I don't see how this solves anything.

But when everything is colorful, nothing stands out. Everything being colorful is as monotonous as everything being, well, monotone.

This is meaningless.

"When many things are different, everything is the same".

Its a sentence that seems meaningful, but actually is not. It's just abstraction without generalizing.

"000000000000000000000000000" is a sequence just as something as "H90F3iJsjo$(4Opla1zSKX@)!2k" because in the second sequence they're different and in the first they're all the same? Great, you just discovered sets and the axiom of choice.

We are literally discussing the difference within the sets! Obviously the second sequence is more diverse.

First, I thought your argument was going somewhere but then it took this turn.

I would agree with the first part and then argue that before the synthetics-revolution things were mostly just shades of browns(which is a type of dark unsaturated orange). Except for the upper classes who could afford the expensive colors. Now that color is cheap and normalized, it lost (some) of its allure. Not being able to signal your wealth anymore.

Now adding just a conjecture of mine; Now that 'clean' is still somewhat more expensive(upper classes still being able to afford more cleanliness by using other peoples labor), minimal textures(not literal textures but design-wise) are more attractive because it displays your wealth. Plain-white being the easiest to see blemishes on. With black being easier look unblemished. Also, 'tasteful' color arrangements will still signal your class somewhat due to requiring cultural knowledge.

Maybe if you read the report you would've have seen the >10% fraudulent sales?

This is a bad article only meant to market the book. Almost 0 information in this, actually impressive.

Wow, what happened to the "screw the government" position?

It was always just a meme.

John Perry Barlow was deeply, deeply, wrong.

It's AI on GOOGLE'S END ITSELF that's making their product worse.

Search results are endlessly optimized for a mean, but everyone has some tail-end subject they want to search more specifically which google's search-AI just seems to get worse and worse with. (Here on HN it's coding/engineering/tech)

Complete anti-scientific hogwash only rich people would repeat, again.

I don't care about your singular experience.

I could send you paper and paper that wealth/income and stability increases happiness aggregated.

I could send you papers that would show that sending people scientific proof doesn't convince people and that wouldn't convince you.

That stuff can't be faked, even with a high salary. Before you say, "it's easy to say when you're getting paid $240K a year." Nah. A person needs challenge; a purpose. Lots of FANG ICs making $500K+ who hate their job. Why? No challenge or palpable purpose.

Something only someone with a high income would say. Contrary to all data and research and evidence.

We need a kind of Kagi but it should be user-owned and controlled.

Nobody in the right mind will fire key software engineer 48 hours after system goes live.

Ah yes, the absolute preposterous idea that nobody, especially not companies, would ever make an irrational choice.

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding your comment's implication. But this is not hardware decoding. This is software decoding on the GPU.

NVIDIA for example has specialized (en/de)-coding hardware on their GPUs, which is different. And even that works together with their GPGPU Cuda cores.

Read Godot's response

Exactly what I was thinking. Someone somewhere along the line someone accidentally just used Satoshi's address copied from some docs.

May even just be a low-information buyer.

There's no proof yet reuse is actually cheaper. Even independent reports cite "a potential of 30% cost savings".
