Ah, you meant differences in access to fuel, not differences in storing the waste.

What are the fuel constraints the French have that we don't?

Is it geographic (we have a lot more unused/undesirable than France, for example), regulatory, etc?

If it is not an open source license, you should not call it open source.

Imagine someone saying the same thing about MongoDB's license, for example.

I live near a very congested area and watch ambulances and fire trucks (which are also too big) get stuck in heavy traffic all the time.

Bikes do a lot of package and food delivery here, but fewer people commuting by car would make it easier for ambulances to get where they need to.

I don't know what resolution or display you built this on, but a heads up the initial impression on my 4K monitor is that everything is incredibly tiny.

Even a year from now you're still likely to need a custom firmware.

The custom firmware today is more than good enough, and the devices often sell for under $70.

There will be an Android (11, unfortunately) reader, the S4. (This is already visible on xteink.cn and they've teased it in social media.)

There's also going to be an X4 Pro, which is an ESP32 reader too, and this seems to be an X4 with backlight and touch screen.

There are millions of people in American cities, and tons of people move from the less dense suburbs to these cities.

There are probably even more people who would move if they could, but our cities are expensive (because housing is expensive when you don't build it) and so they stick with the "default". Staying put, getting a car, and finding a way to make it work.

You can't conflate "this is what Americans want" and "this is largely the only choice most Americans get".

> Commuter rail has 1/200th the economic impact of interstate highways.

Ok, and what fraction of investment has it gotten?

We've underfunded rail/bike infrastructure for decades, of course money is going to flow on the cheapest route. Roads are cheap because we've subsidized the shit out of them.

If someone referred to the "previous decade" in 2004, would you have said the same thing?

As the calendar rolled from 1999 to 2000, we entered a new millennium, century, decade, year, day, ...

I think everyone in this thread agrees on that part already.

The similarities are in an application lib to connect, and that tail net IPs correspond to device keys like in Iroh. The service using the Go library has its own Tailscale identity.

Hmm, Sumatra PDF perhaps?

It's rather off-topic at this point, but I've never understood how HF can afford to be a CDN for such huge files. It seems like enterprise customers must be subsidizing a lot, but...at that point, is there not a cheaper alternative that doesn't subsidize every hobbyist and startup around?

Do you not review the code that LLMs output?

It seems that now more than ever, testing is important. But LLMs love to cheat the tests and make them superficially pass. If you're never reading the code, how do you know changes are reasonable?

iOS generally lets you reject any permission an app asks for. This would certainly be "risky" enough that iOS would require explicit user permission, and you would be able to say no.

On top of that, the app is completely optional: if you aren't comfortable giving it those permissions, don't install it?

> you can actually learn a LOT by being given the answer, if you actually care to learn.

Even if you "actually care to learn", this is a huge mental shortcut and you're deceiving yourself if you think deep learning is happening from looking at the answer.

On top of that, the pressures to just finish the coursework and move on to your other homework due tomorrow seems pretty high. Your suggestion means we're no longer coddling/shielding students, but we also aren't actively helping them, are we?

You can also buy the Fully legs/motor on their own and bring your own desktop.

I really disliked the bamboo desk fwiw and much prefer the thicker 1" laminate "wood" one. I wish I'd gotten the extended range legs, though.

It is very good practical advice.

It also saddens me greatly, imagining what computing could look like if systems evolved differently.

> desktop Linux doesn't (and won't for UX reasons)

Can you elaborate?

What do you recommend then? DNS doesn't usually change that often, but if you mess it up when it does, you're in for some pain if TTLs are high!
