Impersonal, tech-mediated surveillance was clearly the next logical step for law enforcement after the events of 2020.

A lot of police policy wonks explicitly argue for replacing the human judgement of cops with impersonal, tech-mediated surveillance, on the grounds that this reduces the possibility of human bias against groups of people (typically black people); or just reduces the possibility of physical contact between a cop and certain people (again, typically black people), which therefore reduces the chances of the police stop escalating into a shooting. This is an argument for e.g. automatic red light cameras in lieu of having police stake out and pull over cars who run red lights.

ohhh... right, clearly, they only expected Mac users to open the web page or to apply.


It choked on my M5 Max MBP w/ 128GB of Unified Memory connected via a TB5 dock over 10GbE directly to my router, which is backed by 5Gbit symmetric fiber. My measured average latency to nasaforce.gov was under 13ms.

So, yeah.


it chokes on my mac also


All the fun of Terraform with none of the profitability.


For a single machine? Yeah, NixOS' cost surely outweighs the benefits if you're not familiar with Nix.

Using Nix for per-project development dependencies is quite good. It's nice to be able to return to a project & not have to fuss over which tools/libraries need to be installed.


finally!


JS will eat the software world. So having better tools on par with charm in the go world would be great.


Or it will be the (huge) technical debt of tomorrow.


Your design is very friendly and approachable. I appreciate the attempt to take another swing at this problem. I've been using Teams for a year now, and they are trying to do some of this same stuff, but what they missed was the key of the composing experience, being too high-stakes. Like you point out:

> they’ve often overlooked the fact that writing a post has more friction than writing a chat message, which is why people often revert back to doing everything over chat

Anyway, you have a really good idea with the LLM generated title and TLDR. I worry about not having trust in an algorithmically ranked timeline, so you might want to make that feature optional, or do a top-level tab like they did on twitter. Or give users ability to influence the rankings.


Thanks! We really think a key part is driving down the cost of creating high value information content. LLMs can help with removing friction in creation in many ways but also improve readability for consumption! That's a fair point on getting the algorithm right for what everyone wants. We definitely will have the ability to switch to chronological but it's important we think through other ways to sort and filter through that information.


I wonder if this would be useful for one team I'm in where most members are in Vietnam with fairly poor English. They seem to have very high friction for writing issues, and resort to chat for...almost everything.

So maybe big opportunity for offshore workers?


Definitely. Chat is often seen as easier communication because it's more forgiving but not all communication should be on chat. We've seen LLMs really help to have clearer communication for non-native english speakers which pushes towards not having an over reliance on chat.


This app makes me happy. As happy as when I first used "The Hit List" back in 2007. Custom themes would be nice.


This comment makes _me_ happy! I've noted the request - I like it!


Fascinating. At first I just thought this title was ridiculous, but basically the authors are saying that the magnetic properties of the core affect cosmic radiation detection, so therefore any massive anomaly deep in the earth's core would

1. have an effect on cosmic radiation detection, and 2. is also likely to precede widespread global seismic activity.

They adjusted the radiation detection data for global sunspot numbers and saw a correlation of the specific event of the 2010 Chile earthquake.

If this holds true for more events, a sort of "geophysical weather forecast" could be possible!


As far as I know sunspot count is just a feature you can see on photographs, yet it is also very strongly correlated with this cosmic radiation detection data.


Yes yes! One million times yes! Shut up and take my money.

$4K lower than a quote from a local contractor for a less capable system.


The sort of collectible one of his characters would purchase after a successful exit from a crypto startup. But it is beautiful. Also what is this new snowcrash story he was working on!?!
