I think there’s a decent number of remote-working, highly social people with substantial disposable income, who have friends living elsewhere that they’d like to spend quality time with. Especially in the tech crowd. This would appeal to a lot of people I know.

I think as people start to have kids it would be less appealing, but people seem to be doing that later these days (or not at all).

> Is there a strong evidence that kids need it in the first place?

"U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data shows that since the start of the pandemic, more than 2,000 children age 18 and younger in the U.S. have died from COVID-19. Nearly 700, or about 33%, were less than 1 year old."

Given the effectiveness at preventing death, I'll happily trade 2,000 COVID deaths for 10 myocarditis deaths.

oh yeah you're right and this is coming from someone who still likes/uses perl once in a while for text manipulation stuff that awk/sed won't cut it for. try going into your terminal and typing in

man 3pm Errno

And you get this code snippet:

my $fh; unless (open($fh, "<", "/fangorn/spouse")) { if ($!{ENOENT}) { warn "Get a wife!\n"; } else { warn "This path is barred: $!"; } }

man is that ever from a different time... but let me tell you if you can pull off some of those awk/sed or perl one liners you can do some pretty useful things with less resource allocation than you would be spending if you had written that in python, which becomes important if you're running it over and over on terabytes of data or on limited hardware

When was this? It's changed a lot (in both directions) over the years. For example, after Prop 64 legalized weed, the field in GGP by Haight and Stanyan that was previously staffed 24/7 by a morass of weed salespeople and their groupies (maybe 50-300 at any given time) emptied out overnight.

Then there's the fact that even the 18-20yo "Hippie Pilgrim" demo, which has held up pretty well for generations, is secretly stratified by the socioeconomic status of the parents. One's take on it depends on the specific cliques they're exposed to.

We have currently had ~500 users since the launch last week, and the satisfaction survey shows that about 78% think the results were accurate so far (of course, the sample size is small, but I wanted to share the rough data).

Sometimes the AI still makes some silly mistakes, but I strongly believe that it will only get better.

Please let me know if you find any specific bugs or errors. I will be happy to improve it based on your valuable feedback.

Enkokilish (እንቆቅልሽ) are Ethiopian/Amharic riddles. Riddles in Amharic are difficult, require in-depth understanding of the language and are often used to test one's knowledge and reasoning skills. So based on Enkokilish, we've made Enkokilish Bench to evaluate the ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to understand, reason, and solve Amharic riddles.

Looking into this more, it does indeed seem to be a cloudflare problem. It looks like cloudflare made a significant error in their bot fingerprinting, and Perplexity wasn't actually bypassing robots.txt.

https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/agents-or-bots-making-sen...

To be honest I find cloudflare a much more scammy company than Perplexity. I had a DDoS attack a few years ago which originated from their network, and they had zero interest in it.

Zen was solid, after a while it turned to a browser full of bugs, crashes, and too much UI changes it rendered it unstable for me had to ditch it. And reporting the bugs goes to nothing and never getting resolved, one simple bug was the pinned tab, where it supposedly to be pinned but scrolling will take it out of your view, and it was never resolved for months last time I used the browser.

The article mentioned that most people are working remotely the whole time. I don’t think remote workers are that rare, and even in-person jobs often offer a few weeks of remote work per year as a perk.

As for having lots of friends… I don’t know how rare that is. I could easily find 10 people, 20 would be a stretch. And I’m far from the most social person I know.

It will be cleared if everyone is treated equally as Congress will be forced to change the law. Green cards aren't magical fairy dust with a finite supply. Everything is negotiable. You restore basic equality first; the rest is accounting. Your position is tantamount to saying that segregation should be abolished only if it is coupled with increasing the total number of schools. It makes no sense.

It depends on the task at hand, that unspoken understanding can work against your best interests. In general, the NT way leads to stagnation and complacency for building and maintaining systems as conditions change. I am not saying one way of thinking is better than the other, you bring up a great point about conserving resources. I think survival pressures have always necessitated a balance of human cognitive abilities. I guess only time can tell how things may transpire, and what’s actually useful. Maybe there’s a way to simulate this in silico…

Kilauea is more or less constantly erupting. This is the 38th eruptive episode since in the past year: https://www.usgs.gov/volcanoes/kilauea/science/eruption-info... (note that the 38th episode started a few hours ago as of this message). Although this is still considered "one" eruption by USGS.

This just reeks of you being insecure and thinking online education is of lower quality than in person education. Are you also pining for everyone to go back to the office? The degree GT gives you is literally the same thing as the in person degree. If GT does not make the distinction, why would I???

Here is a tip: maybe don't assume so much!

Suggested technical details (for anyone curious)

If anyone’s interested in the stack: • Frontend: SwiftUI • Audio: internal cache layer + fallback TTS • Spaced repetition: hybrid SM2-like intervals • Import engine: CSV/TSV auto-detection • Offline mode: local fallback for review & audio playback

If you’re into language learning tools, I’d really appreciate your thoughts on: 1. How to improve onboarding 2. Whether spaced repetition feels too aggressive or too light 3. Ideas for making the audio features smarter

Thanks again for checking it out!

I went through the financially-relevant documents in the Batch 7 Epstein Files and noticed a few patterns that were consistent with current financial structure patterns — de-structuring patterns? It felt like a conspiracy and I have no background in finance nor law, so I just kept my eyes open. My thoughts were: if x, y, and z happen, then a, b, and c are causative. Well, x, y, and z happened: companies/CEOs dumped NVIDIA stock, the FDIC changed banking regulations, and an influx in cash just silently flooded the market.

So I wrote this analysis. I found a pattern connecting: •FCPA loopholes Epstein exploited as a third-party intermediary. •Saudi reserves declining $321B since 2014 [$731B → $410B]. •Vision Fund lockups maturing in 2027 and banks getting regulatory grace periods until 2027. •Insiders (Burry, Thiel, Buffett) exiting NOW.

Here is the Patreon link, but what I linked to in this submission is a PDF with references outlined. I know that it is long; I wrote this all myself. Feel free to run it by your AI of choice, I don't mind, but make sure the AI can actually read links or a lot of evidentiary context will be lost.

Again, because I have no background in finance or law, it's extremely possible that I misunderstood some basic things here and I openly welcome corrections in whatever tone you feel necessary. However, PLEASE do not put words in my mouth because I worked to be immaculate in my language [considering how litigious many of the parties mentioned happen to be]. I'm really interested in knowing what y'all think.

Law isn't written to cover 100% of real life scenarios and potential cases, it's written with deliberate parts of ambiguity, that will ultimately be up to courts to set the precedents for, in various situations and context.

I think the idea is that you can't really cover 100% of real-life cases in "code", either legal or software, so the areas you'll leave this out of would be those "not-entirely-strict" parts.

The most commonly used/accepted foundation for mathematics is set theory, specifically ZFC. Relations are modeled as sets [of pairs, which are in turn modeled as sets].

A logician / formalist would argue that mathematics is principally (entirely?) about proving derivations from axioms - theorems. A game of logic with finite strings of symbols drawn from a finite alphabet.

An intuitionist might argue that there is something more behind this, and we are describing some deeper truth with this symbolic logic.

You're correct if Context is hidden or implicit (like Dependency Injection containers or ThreadLocals in Java), it becomes debugging nightmare.

To solve this, SFX treats the Context Stack as Explicit Data, not hidden magic.

1. Debugging: Because the runtime knows exactly what 'Reality' is active, we can print it. We are building a `Context.Trace()` tool that outputs something like: `[Base Reality] -> [HolidaySale] -> [AdminMode]` This tells you exactly why a method is behaving the way it is.

2. Layering: Yes, contexts are strictly layered (LIFO stack). If you activate `Situation A` then `Situation B`, the runtime checks `B` first, then `A`, then the Object itself. This allows for 'Behavioral Inheritance'—you can compose behaviors (e.g., `LoggingMode` + `SafeMode`) dynamically.

3. Scoping: Right now it is imperative (`Switch on/off`), but because SFX is indentation-based, we are working on block-scoped contexts for the next release:

Using AdminMode: User.Delete() # Admin context # Automatically reverts here

Thanks for the encouragement.

Co-author here. happy to answer questions.

On how this compares to alternatives - the way we think about it is theres kind of 3 layers. DQ monitors check if your data is healthy after its already in prod (anomalies, freshness, etc). dbt tests verify your models are sound during deployment (constraints, relationships, schema).

What was missing for us was testing the actual business logic before you deploy. for example, does this calculation actually return what you expect for these inputs.

This framework lets you define mock tables as dataclasses, inject via CTEs so its fast, and validate your logic in development before it ever hits prod. same test works across warehouses too which was useful when we were evaluating migrations. also its not tied to dbt or any specific framework

Robocopy has options for unbuffered IO (/J) and parallel operations (/MT:N) which could make it go much faster.

Performing parallel copies is probably the big win with less than 10 Gb/s of network bandwidth. This will allow SMB multichannel to use multiple connections, hiding some of the slowness you can get with a single TCP connection.

When doing more than 1-2 GB/s of IO the page cache can start to slow IO down. That’s when unbuffered (direct) IO starts to show a lot of benefit.

Literally all of these can be avoided except the external apparati like the Flock cameras, which is why they're such a big deal.

Getting tracked by your map application or OS platform can be countered by using an open source ROM and a local map provider like OpenStreetMap. Gtting tracked by the car itself can oftentimes be prevented by unplugging the telematics unit (or its antennas) or bypassing it with special cables. But there's nothing you can legally do to protect against the Flock cameras, without ignoring the law entirely and going around town with an angle grinder.

"Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria" is not medically recognized and is literally just something a guy with a blog made up.

(Note, the guy with the blog is a doctor, but he specifically recommends certain medications for this that I don't think anyone else who discusses RSD online would agree with if they knew this.)

Personally, I think it just sounds like a description of anxiety.

Coding capability in and of itself may be "good enough" or close to it, but there's a long way to go before AI can build and operate a product end-to-end. In fairness, a lot of the gap may be tooling.

But the end state in my mind is telling an AI "build me XYZ", having it ask all the important questions over the course of a 30-minute chat while making reasonable decisions on all lower-level issues, then waking up the next morning to a live cloud-hosted test environment at a subdomain of the domain it said it would buy along with test builds of native apps for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows, all with near-100% automated test coverage and passing tests. Coding agents feel like magic, but we're clearly not there yet.

And that's just coding. If someone wanted to generate a high-quality custom feature-length movie within the usage limits of a $20/mo AI plan, they'd be sorely disappointed.

Cat 7 with RJ45 sockets is standardized, which is ideal for running it in walls. Sure, you don't want to use it for patch cables, but over long runs in walls it's a great solution, especially due to the better shielding of Cat 7.

> so you have no idea what you're actually getting

As Cat 7 is only sold by the meter on a roll, you know just as much what you're getting as with Cat 6A, spec-compliant network cables.

Iris2 might will support 5G-NTN. But that doesn't many any phone can use it no problem. Even if you use 5G-NTN you want some dedicated terminals, and there are prototypes for that. The exact details for Iris2 is not yet known publicly and there are many vendors trying to get in on it. The specification basically says support 5G-NTN (3GPP) “to the maximum extent possible”. And maybe future handsets will support it better.

But we are decently far from a situation where Iris2 has a dedicated consumer arm that spits out millions of consumer grade standard terminals that people can set up within minutes.

We are still very early, with contracts just signed and many questions still open. And ESA not exactly having a track record of great execution.

Lets remember this system even if you are insane optimistic will not exist fully before 2031. Likely years after that if you take into account all the ongoing issues. And even when it finally arrives, the capacity isn't really designed for mass users against Starlink anyway.

Try koboldcpp with the kcppt config file. The easiest way by far.

Download the release here

* https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp/releases/tag/v1.103

Download the config file here

* https://huggingface.co/koboldcpp/kcppt/resolve/main/z-image-...

Set +x to the koboldcpp executable and launch it, select 'Load config' and point at the config file, then hit 'launch'.

Wait until the model weights are downloaded and launched, then open a browser and go to:

* http://localhost:5001/sdui

EDIT: This will work for Linux, Windows and Mac

I don't think watching the lectures is the hurdle that anyone at OMSCS is trying to jump. The program has a pretty low graduation rate, and the tests are known to be fairly difficult, which essentially requires the student to do work outside of class or go to the resources available through GT to understand the material. I can look up the highest quality lectures on any subject on YouTube, it doesn't mean I will understand any of it without the proper legwork.

FWIW I meant the diploma is identical, the actual experience will obviously vary. Some people will get better outcomes online, some will get better outcomes in person.

> But terminals and editors is sticky in a way that tells me it's probably close to optimal.

Optimal for those users, at any rate. IMO using a terminal editor is so painful compared to a decent GUI (Sublime or even VSCode) that I have a difficult time understanding why anyone would choose such a tool. I just try to repeat the mantra of "everyone likes different things" and stop trying to understand something where I likely never will get it.

For thousands of years, the way humans lived changed so slowly as to be imperceptible. That's no longer the case. Starry-eyed types who think of their autistic children as "indigo" or "crystal" children may wax poetic about autism being the next phase of human evolution, but recent scientific work lends a kernel of credence to that: autism is now thought to be one of the side effects of rapid changes to our brains that were evolutionarily necessary to cope with our rapidly changing world and circumstances.

Sadly there was an ongoing eruption when me and my SO visited the Big Island, so the entire park was closed. Was a bit bummed out, on the other hand people lost their homes so keeping it in perspective.

That said, I second visiting the Big Island and visit various sites. Driving less than an hour and going from barren volcanic landscapes to lush rainforests was something else, and watching the sunset from Mauna Kea was magical. And lots of great beaches, and most that weren't next to a resort had very few people.

While the island is big relative to the other Hawaiian islands, its small enough that you can drive around it in a day.

I'd recommend staying on the Kona side, which is the dry and somewhat barren side. The Hilo side has rainforests for a reason.

Autism is more broad-spectrum than just related to social processing. It's most visible in social processing because that's the cognitive area that humans have highly specialized in as a species, where expectations of performance are very high, and thus where deficiencies processing complex information in real-time are most visible. If we were birds, we'd probably think autism had something to do with flying. Instead, we are talking tribal apes, so when someone has the cognitive differences that lead to autism, we notice most strongly that they are having trouble being a normal talking tribal ape.

But the effects of autism are visible outside of social interaction too, with repetitive behaviors, intense focused interests, trouble with adapting to change, rigidity in lifestyle, etc.

The author wants to buy a whole new computer every year or two max, instead of upgrading components

That’s an impressive, so to speak, level of consumerism, reminds me of a self-professed minimalist that made the rounds here years ago, he practiced detachment from worldly possessions by throwing away his clothes after use and buying new ones, instead of washing them

Bought and started playing it, I love it.

One feedback I have is that the instant I get the combination correct and complete a challenge, it suddenly pops up a “congratulations” message with a button to go to the next level, I can’t see my final solution.

I really want to take a few seconds to see my final solution, study, understand and admire it.

I think I hear you, but you're phrasing your twist as a choice made by individuals or made by their circumstances, e.g. choices that you are not a party to. However I'm asking about you in this case, alongside the "us" that comprise the people taking the time to observe and hypothesize about the world we're living in by discussing in on HN. Maybe after that it'll lead elsewhere.

To form or even to define a relation you need some sort of entity to have a relation with.

My wife would have probably gone postal (angry-mad) if I had tried to form an improper relationship with her. It turns out that I needed a concept of woman, girlfriend and man, boyfriend and then navigate the complexities involved to invoke a wedding to turn the dis-joint sets of {woman} and {man} to form the set of {married couple}. It also turns out that a ring can invoke a wedding on its own but in many cases, it also requires way more complexity.

You might start off with much a simpler case, with an entity called a number. How you define that thing is up to you.

I might hazard that maths is about entities and relationships. If you don't have have a notion of "thingie" you can't make it "relate" to another "thingie"

It's turtles all the way down and cows are spherical.

It's a suboptimal implementation but it's interesting for the purpose of transpiling something like Scheme or ML or maybe Purescript to Python.

Historically, suggestions to make Python tail recursive were rejected on the theory that the added stack frames helped debugging, and that Python was supposed to be an imperative language. But it has been dragged into supporting some FP idioms over the years and that has seemed like a good thing.
