A popular package has more exposure. When the artefact is published, the entire world can see it. Hopefully some people check the diff between versions. But without any delays then you could be hit by exploits nobody has seen yet.

I think the model space is too competitive. People will switch if another model is significantly better.

There are only a few frontier models, and aren’t they all operating under the same incentives?

Open source models maybe not necessarily as they can (in theory) be self hosted.

I think right now the incentives of open source chinese model developers is to provide good (comparable to SotA) and cheap models so the space is not captured by a few private american companies because they've seen how hard it is to compete in the space when that happens.


Async Rust on small embedded chips like ESP32 feels revolutionary. This project looks promising.

Still, the majority of the population would get a phone with replaceable battery.

All the top smartphone manufacturers hit that bar, at least for their mid and high end phones. The focus on apple is misleading and weird.

This will only impact bottom barrel phones.


Exactly. Apple and Samsung phones account for 90% of the market and are exempt fro mthis bill. So just how much ewaste will it prevent?

Remember ios 10.2.1? Batterygate?

"Remember the time Apple fixed iOS so the iPhone would run instead of crashing under low voltage conditions" remains, to me, the most inexplicable of HN's mass psychoses.

Remember that they did it secretly and denied it for ages, only to backtrack and use this excuse when it was actually proven they were slowing the devices.

Dont let the marketing spin white-wash your long term memory of an event.


That was 10 years ago. Are there any other instances similar that are more recent?

In my bubble, some. In the general population? Very very few.

Both Southwest, but also Ryanair are profitable. Totally possible to make money off flights.

But you have to follow the same model: use cheaper airports, a single modern aircraft type to simplify operations, high turnaround speed, charge a lot for extras.


It’s not enough to “make a profit”.

Southwest has 30B in assets and makes $441M in profit. Like most airlines it’s a miracle of modern economics and should practically be considered a charity or a nonprofit. You would make more in treasuries or corporate bonds.


Their last earnings report says about 17B in non-cash assets with about 848M in profit based on those assets (assuming that the quarterly profit x 4 is a reasonable assumption). So where are your numbers from?

Corporate bonds won't take you to Disneyland.

Wow… at 1.5% annual return wouldn’t they be better off just renting those assets (aircraft) to other airlines?!

The majority of airliners are on 'dry lease' to their respective airlines to begin with.

The real benchmark should be comparing the amounts with a human guess. And aa far as I know with diabetes if you are within 30% of guessing carbs then you should be fine.

Wouldn't there be too much error when you both 3D scan and 3D print it?

The 3d scan is generally used as a base for your cad model, you don’t print it it directly, you instead replicate the shapes in your cad software, that gives you pretty much infinite precision thanks to NURBS

My guess is that both 3D printed fans and production fans get balanced, but the production fans have an extra bit of design, that makes the profile sail at both a wider speed range, and peaks at a higher speed.

you'd probably have to do a bit of fixing on a model to get close

Especially also since AI providers are struggling with scaling up.


The FAQ says: > We might modify your laptop to remove or power down the battery

But powering down battery is not enough against the fire risk. Servers get hot 24/7 and might still overheat the battery.


Imagine you are the top engineer of your company. Everybody wants your attention, many meetings, design sessions, and of-course code reviews.

With Claude Code, I use Gitlab for reviewing code. And then I let Claude pull the comments.

It looks like the new UI has a big focus on multiple agents. While it feels wrong, the more you split up your work into smaller merge requests, the easier it is to review the work.

Chat first is the way to go since you want the agent busy making its code better. Let it first make plans, come up with different ideas, then after coding let it make sure it fully tests that it works. I can keep an agent occupied for over a hour with e2e tests, and it’s only a couple hundred lines of code in the end.
