> > For much of human history [polygyny]

> I doubt it is true

GP is correct. Human history spans hundreds of thousands of years. You are talking about the most recent ca. 5000 years of enforced monogamy through the social/cultural institution of marriage, but this era has come to an end and we are reverting to the natural state of affairs (polygyny) again.

I was looking for signs that the tests and examples worked afterwards. Those are missing.

Its javascript to typescript, which unless I'm missing something, can be done with `mv foo.js foo.ts`. No examples of any transforms done by the tool.

And it wasn't one sentence, it was a sequence of questions and answers.

I guess they started with the title for the blog post and didn't really worry about showing whether it did anything useful or not.

> Neither rape nor murder are inherently, definitionally wrong.

This is easily refuted: look up “murder” in any English dictionary and you’ll find a definition like this: “the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.” The inclusion of “unlawful” makes it definitionally wrong. You might want to quibble about legality vs. morality but in this case at least, the one entails the other. Perhaps you’re thinking of words like “killing”.

> If you pay for keywords of a rival brand… it is a data driven decision

Right, I think this is easier to quantify. The hard case is advertising on _your own_ name, defensively (to stop others from doing so). I think it is hard to make a truly data driven decision in this case, since you don’t see the clicks you lose. I think you’d have to do a careful A/B test if you want to tease this apart.

> the guys buying the ads are not the brightest on the team

lol, surprise! I run marketing for a small business, I am the guy buying the ads haha. I’m not offended at all, but am a bit surprised the engineer-vs-sales feud is still alive. Fwiw I also do product design! Can’t we all get along?

I'm using a different approach for local testing where I don't want to redownload images over and over: https://github.com/stackabletech/k8s-local-dev

Basically it's a k3s configured to use a local mirror and that local mirror is running the Zot registry (https://zotregistry.dev/v2.1.8/). It is configured to automatically expired old images so my local hard drive isn't filled up).

My first result is midjourney.com. I so often see people criticizing Google search but I never see the negative with my own eyes. Whenever I search I get what I want or need.

Google Search must be highly personalized, and I don't know what I'm doing right but clearly my personalization is working.

Edit: Oh I realize now it's the sponsored results they're complaining about. Well that's just greedy. I mean, you haven't paid a cent for Google Search since 1998? And you just expect them to do everything for free.

I happen to not see the sponsored results right now, maybe because of uBlock, or chance, but even if I do see them I don't mind them at all. Poor Sundar Pichai has to keep the lights on somehow.

I think you're pushing a fantasy. I don't think "going independent" is really viable for a person unless they 1) have pre-existing fame, 2) independent wealth (or a patron), or 3) cut corners with the project in some way.

> the pool of the Titanic is still full

No, the swimming pool on the Titanic is not full of water. The pool is empty due to the ship's sinking and the immense pressure at the depth where the Titanic lies. The pressure would crush any voids within the ship, and the base of the pool cracked as the ship sank, letting out the water.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

Pressure and Depth: The Titanic lies at a depth of 12,500 feet (3,800 meters). At this depth, the water pressure is immense, exerting thousands of pounds per square inch. This pressure would crush any enclosed spaces, including the swimming pool.

Sinking and Damage: The Titanic began to sink, the base of the pool cracked, and all the water escaped.

No Time to Refill: The crew was focused on evacuating passengers and didn't have time to refill the pool before the ship sank.

Deterioration: The ship has also deteriorated over time, further contributing to the loss of any remaining water in the pool.

- on the other hand -

> is the pool of the titanic still filled with water? why?

Yes, the swimming pool on the Titanic is still filled with water. It's thought that the pool was filled with water when the ship was contracted to be built, and that the contract to fill it didn't expire just because the ship sank. The pool is located far away from the main damage caused by the iceberg impact and is also separated by watertight doors from other areas of the ship.

While the exact reason for the pool remaining full is not definitively known, it's believed to be a combination of the ship's structural integrity in that area and the fact that the pool was designed to be watertight.

While the pool remains filled, it's worth noting that the Titanic's hull is deteriorating due to underwater bacteria, and the ship is predicted to collapse within the next few decades, potentially releasing the water from the pool.

The economics of this are nonsensical. The autonomy is not going to happen any time soon, navigating a construction site safely is significantly harder than navigating traffic safely.

This leaves remote operation, which just makes no sense at all. The cost of one guy going to a construction site is never going to be more expensive than retrofitting a fleet of excavators with this hardware and building a remote operating center. Additionally these should obviously not be allowed to be used at construction sites, since remote operation in such a dangerous environment adds a totally new layer of hazards. Direct communication between operators, verbally and visually, is extremely important, to operate an excavator safely.

That is revisionism, IE only stagnated because they kind of wipedout the competition, like Chrome is today, and Microsoft withdraw most of the development resources from the team.

WPF XAML was originally designed by ex IE team members, and they were the same that a few years later proposed XAML Grid concept as CSS Grid initial design.

Many JavaScript devs have to thank their abuse of JavaScript in the browser to XMLHttpRequest introduced by IE.

I did not get either banner looking at the page using Firefox focus on mobile, but this parallax scrolling experience used on this site (and many others)that today's webdevs seem hot to trot over is abysmal. I'm on an 8" tablet and still have to find the sweet spot where the text does not obfuscate the image, so my eyes are unable to quickly dart between both as I read. It's absurd that people think this is a good way to present information. Another commenter replying to you mentioned why not just ditch the JS, and for a site like this I say, right, why not? I'd much rather have the static text and image positions afforded with simple and elegant HTML and CSS tags as opposed to this finicky BS that was clearly tested on maybe one viewport and called good.

For those who don't read through the specs, it uses Gateron KS-33 low-profile 'blue' switches (though the plastic on the Pi 500+ switches is grey, not blue).

In my testing, the keyboard was between 55-60 dBa from about a foot away. Not quiet, but so much better to type on than the Pi 400/500's chicklet keyboard that came before.

It's a mid-tier mechanical keyboard with low-end desktop performance. So it's not going to move the needle if you're satisfied with an N150 mini PC and a cheap keyboard. But if you were already thinking of buying a Pi, or you like the keyboard-computer aesthetic, this is now the top-end for that (especially considering the 16 GB of RAM).

My grandma lost her vision when she was young. Even before capacitive buttons, buttons were very hard to find by touch. It has been an issue for more then a decade.

Off topic, but a lifehack for those who have visually impaired loved ones: we use glass paint contour paste on the center of buttons. It's basically used in glass paintings to stop paint sliding from the glass, so it can make a good noticeable bump or line. But – it only works on hard surfaces and if the buttons themselves are not very sensitive.

If you can lightly brush the button while you are "looking" for bumps, then it works.

I had to google the controversy, found one dedicated blog site page about it, read it thoroughly and think it is insane to call this dude controversial based on what I read on https://hyperborea.org/reviews/software/ladybird-inclusivity...

I'm tired of people who are doing such great work being labeled politically over things like pronoun preferences and somehow this is supposed to make us wish for the projects failure OR the founder's expulsion from his own project.

(oh dear I forgot to imagine the project lead could also be female - damn you English language!)

I'm torn on point 2... on the one hand, I'm insulted to be "rewarded" for my tenacity in managing to "read" what is basically a very short article with a lot of pictures. On the other hand, I'm working daily with people who refuse to read messages on Teams chat if they are longer than five words and respond either with an answer that proves they didn't make it past the first sentence or with the even worse "quick call?" So perhaps anything that rewards primary-school-level literacy among adults is a positive step after all.

I do research into neonatal diabetes, which is a 1 in 100,000 genetic disease. We're entirely state and charity funded. We have had a grant for many years to do genetic analysis on anyone from around the world who fits the criteria (diabetes under six months age) and who can send in a blood or DNA sample. It's a good model, and now more than 90% of patients with neonatal diabetes get their genetic diagnosis.

OP clearly (to borrow your choice of word) wants to express that they thought people simply learn how to find information by simply using a search engine over time, just like you can become proficient in other activities by repeatedly doing them; and they gave some examples that many people here can relate to as such. I don't think OP wanted to offend anyone who doesn't know how to drive a car, or suggest that everybody should be able to.

So, yeah, things are not always that clear. That's why it's so useful to give people the benefit of a charitable interpretation of their words by default.

The Apple PR push is very interesting. They must have done a good job with the press because the Guardian title is awful - the DMA isn’t an anti-monopoly law - and the article in Le Monde on feature restriction is equally bad.

Anyway, it’s nice seeing Apple pandering to the Trump administration. If anyone had doubts about Apple true face, it should make it clear.

People have a lot of weird excuses for disliking Mozilla. There are definitely legitimate ones, but the point really is "what's the alternative"? Are the faults of Mozilla really so much worse that we'll turn to Google instead? Honestly, that seems silly to me.

Can we just for once not blindly hate something for not being perfect and consequently strengthening an even worse option?

No, they're not. And even if they were, they're repairable. I can even drill a new hole, mount an industrial 5cm push-button and wire it where the original button was connected. Can't do that with a touchscreen.

That's just semantics, for all intents and purposes the monopoly on violence is exactly that: the monopoly on the legitimisation of violence, only the state allows violence, you can only perform a violent act under the provisions the state allows, hence it's de facto and de jure holding the monopoly on violence.

Stating this because I'm not sure what differentiation you are trying to achieve with the semantics game, the meaning is the same for any interpretation.

But why would I want to reliably produce similar code? The underspec is deliberate. Maybe I don't care about the name of the column as long as it's reasonable.

How to represent prices: same. This is computer nonsense. There's one right way to do it, the LLM knows that way, it should do it.

How to do it scalably: same. If the file is named the agent can just look at its size to decide on the best implementation.

Your alternative spec is too detailed and has many details that can be easily inferred by the AI, like defaulting to UTF-8 and comma delimited. This is my point. There are many possible implementations in code, some better and some worse, and we shouldn't need to spell out all that detail in English when so much of it is just about implementation quality.

For example, Virginia 11VAC5-70-240.B "Advertising, marketing, and promotional materials shall include a responsible gaming message, which includes, at a minimum, a director-approved problem gambling helpline number and an assistance and prevention message, except as otherwise permitted by the director for certain mediums such as social media messages.

I don't think this is so much the issue, as much as that I didn't think about it.

Let me try to answer in an ELI5 fashion:

You know how you can ask ChatGPT the same thing 3x in a row and get 3 completely different results? Google's basically the same and has been for a long time.

If you and me both ask for something hyper-specific, we'll see the same results. But the more generic the search term is, the more hyper-personalised it gets.

In some ways it makes sense, for example we shouldn't see the same thing when we search for "restaurants" as we're unlikely to be looking for restaurants on the other side of the world, in many other ways it's annoying and counter-productive.

If you start to defend freedom of speech now that Trump made some controversial decisions, your honesty is in question.

Someone only advocating for their own political crowd does not advocate for civil liberties.

There is a lot of work to do to get gain back trust. What doesn't help if you advocate for freedom of speech while your text includes the word Trump. It will never be believable.

And it wasn't some nebulous free speech culture, it was partisanship that failed the concept of freedom of speech severely. That isn't on Trump, it is on pushes for deplatforming and co, which haven't been forgotten. It is as simple as people advertising it aren't in favor of freedom of speech. Nothing more to it.

> no professor should be allowed to teach "gender ideology"

Good example on that topic. It lead to some professors being removed and again the partisan position was chosen. Predictable and wrong.

> This is philosophically, intellectually, and morally incoherent

Return to sender.

The criticism of free speech culture only condense to be angry at those that didn't fall in line for the political cause du jours. No need to summon anything more complex.

YC is not really advocating you to become a worker at a startup. They want you to become a founder. As a founder you don't need to be a huge success for you to be well off. I'm one of 3 founders currently in a bootstrapped company that has done okay. We are approaching end of year 5. This year we will make 700k revenue, 240k profit and 50% yearly growth. Typically this kind of business is not something a VC would consider investing in, but it can still be profitable for the founders.

I'm not very liquid at the moment. My salary is a measly 60k a year. Most of 80k that is my share of the profit will stay in the company instead of go into my pocket, but the 33% ownership in the company is valuable. Very typical valuations for companies in general is 10x profit, which would mean my share of the company is worth 800k. Companies getting strategically acquired can be 20x revenue, which makes my share of the company worth 4.7million.

At FAANG I would have likely made a liquid 300k * 5 = 1.5million, which would allow me to spend more money and enjoy life right now. However, the next 5 years with my company will likely be a lot more valuable. If we manage to grow 30% a year then after 5 years profit will be 900k. That means 300k a year profit share, 3m valuation at 10x profit and 17m valuation at 20x revenue.

Seeing the mention of Round Hand reminded me of Gilbert & Sullivan’s description in H.M.S. Pinafore of the importance of handwriting if, like Sir Joseph Porter K.C.B., you want to rise to the top of the tree:

As office boy I made such a mark That they gave me the post of a junior clerk. I served the writs with a smile so bland, And I copied all the letters in a big round hand— I copied all the letters in a hand so free, That now I am the Ruler of the Queen’s Navee!

It might just sound like something off TV Tropes to you, but even the Labor government's own inquiry [1] on the matter shows that hundreds if not thousands of children were actually molested by such gangs. It even has a chapter on "Denial", which brings your comment to another light:

> Instead, flawed data is used repeatedly to dismiss claims about ‘Asian grooming gangs’ as sensationalised, biased or untrue. This does a disservice to victims and indeed all law-abiding people in Asian communities.

On the contrary, from what I gather, the Justices were amenable to the federal government regulating or even banning intrastate (non-cross-border) gambling as well!

The problem was that PASPA was sloppy and didn’t do that; its mechanism was to tell states what laws they could or couldn’t pass, which is unconstitutional for reasons outside the Commerce Clause.

Per Proskauer:

> Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the opinion was Justice Alito's unequivocal statement that "Congress can regulate sports gambling directly," if it elects to do so. While Justice Thomas, citing an 1867 Supreme Court case, expressed doubt that Congress could prohibit sports betting that does not cross state lines, there appear to be at least eight Justices who believe that Congress has this authority under the Commerce Clause. Thus, Congress could adopt a uniform federal policy that would permit and regulate sports gambling throughout the nation and thereby preempt the various state laws. Alternatively, it could choose to outlaw sports gambling throughout the country, although that approach seems unlikely at this point.

Now, of course, the proverbial cat is out of the bag.

I have approached management with stats, hard facts and level headed, calm discussions many times. It doesn't make a difference.

I'm pretty sure they actually use their data-mining advantage to make their betting offers as attractive to regular users as possible, and therefore maximise profit.

It's so easy to just ban any user who gets "too lucky" (simply ban the top ~0.1% of your userbase every week) why waste resources on offering actually fair bets? And the requirement for "fair bets" probably interferes with the requirement for bets to be as attractive to "regular users" as possible.

Pretty nice. How does it handle multiple displays? I've set it up with local Ollama, and it seems to only record and analyze one of my two secondary displays. It would be ideal if I can select which one is used if the recording is limited to a single display, or even better if it can record and analyze the entire multi-monitor desktop surface.

edit Nvm, it seems it always records the display that is currently in focus. That is probably the better way to handle it, since it automatically solves the "ignore what's shown but not interacted with on secondary displays" problem.

Occasionally, I help people with their Mac's, and it can easily take half an hour to get something installed (finding their password etc), and on iOS, there are ads that buries the real results.
