Thank you for including data sources as well as some basic data analysis. The scatter plots are quite helpful in analyzing some demographic assumptions that often arise when discussing economic and social development.
You’ve earned yourself a bookmark :)
The visualization of potential results is quite mesmerizing.
I believe the restriction is on charging devices out of sight (in luggage, seatback pockets etc).
I'm inclined to think that this was art not documentary.
Market-making in a market that is highly speculative and illiquid isn’t the same as market manipulation though.
Is this similar to Ampcode’s Orbs or am I misunderstanding the vision?

Brooks's Law states that adding more people to a late software project will make it even later.In your practical experience does this still apply in the age of AI?Does it also apply when adding agents to projects that are already behind schedule?

I really like this although in my neighborhood it would just be lots of detailed reports of apathetic pigeons perching and pooping.
Unpopular take here but I'm really ok with this.
The sale of the high quality brand allows the original entrepreneurs to exit their business to someone that thinks they can run it more efficiently. The decline in quality allows for innovative upstarts to try new things.
Equity/net worth is not quite the same as the liquid capital needed to cover losses or service debt.
Yep, meetup.com, eventbrite.com and for the musically inclined residentadvisor.com and dice.fm.
The trick for me was to offer to help with the organization of the event, it is more rewarding and makes for more lasting connections.
Congrats on the launch. Hope you get a moment to answer the questions here.
Speaking of which, where can we preview the SDK and documentation? The site is a little light on development details.
I was hoping they'd finally added a feature to their dishes to allow terrestrial interconnect.
So when my dish can't getting the best line-of-sight view to the satellites it can piggyback on my many neighbor's better connections to improve mine.
Exactly. For many, the idea of being able to see England, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India in one 50 day trip with many similar minded travelers who aren't in a rush is really quite appealing.
Also, with bus travel you could, if you felt like it, leave the trip to enjoy many more local attractions and resume your travels later in a way not afforded by airplane or rail travel.
It's been interesting to see how often Elon is chided (even by his supporters) because his reach always seems to somehow exceed his grasp knowing full well that this is by design and not by fault.
I don't think I'm ready for this, I might never go back to "real" work.
Sting-ER could also work too
If you intersperse the music and fill in with articles from HN or your favorite subreddits it would be a fun listen.
The Indian-born textbook author mentioned (Malkiat Singh [0]) had an inordinate influence on many Kenyan students because his textbooks were the de-facto standard for years. Its interesting how this influence extends as his students get to curate the LLMs on which the world has come to rely.

Soulseek is still going?
I discovered so many artists, international variations of albums, live sessions and bootlegs from that app, it changed my relationship with music.
I have to go back and check it out.
Like most people I think, I prefer to prepend and add to the top of the txt file they are working on.
Having spent enough time with marketing and PR folks, I really wouldn't be surprised if this supposed backlash is overhyped as a way to get more people interested in seeing the ad.
TLDR
Unfortunately, medicine took a very long time to realize that vitamin D is not simply a vitamin that prevents rickets.
We know today that vitamin D is a powerful nuclear receptor-activating hormone of critical importance, especially to the immune system.
With the available data mentioned above, the proposed doses would probably suffice to maintain vitamin D levels around or over 75-100 nmol/L, with practically zero risk of toxicity.

Hardware: MacBook Pro M4 Max, 128GB
Platform: LMStudio (primarily) & Ollama
Models:
- qwen/qwen3-coder-30b A3B Instruct 8-bit MLX
- mlx-community/gpt-oss-120b-MXFP4-Q8
For code generation especially for larger projects, these models aren't as good as the cutting edge foundation models. For summarizing local git repos/libraries, generating documentation and simple offline command-line tool-use they do a good job.
I find these communities quite vibrant and helpful too:

More importantly than gaining a client for Nvidia's AI chips, this investment gives the company a solid foothold in a competitor to Broadcom in the wireless, datacenter and networking solutions space. I wouldn't be surprised if Nvidia eventually scoops up all of Nokia.
