Don't know if you've done this but I would highly recommend therapy.

I was bullied severely in junior high, and I didn't start seeing a therapist (for other reasons) until I was 35. By that time I thought I was totally "over" my bullying, if anything I felt shame that something that happened so long ago that I thought was behind me could have such a strong hold on my current behavior. Therapy has helped me immensely, and while I realize that talk therapy results are highly dependent on individual therapist and patient, my biggest regret is that I didn't start sooner.
Overpromising? Underpromising, if anything. I cannot understand the point of view that denies the _overwhelming_ progress that has taken place in AI. And to deny GPT-3’s mega advance — we now have a system that can achieve state of the art or near state of the art requiring a negligible number of training cases (i.e., few shot learning) — seems wrong to me.
Sorry I'm confused - what are the implications of this?
For anyone who missed it, there has been a massive discussion about the device over the past couple of days.

Promise CEO: The three pillars of decentralised protocol testing
It's always good to see productivity tools, but I'm also not really sure what the integration would do. At least it limits signups.

As for the form, it almost felt like one of those RPGs, where you're basically forced to answer "yes I'll pay". I can only assume that this is done for basic research. What's good for you is that you actually capture the No->Yes flow, which means "No".

I used 2 accounts, as I don't like giving apps full permission to my calendar.

Good luck!
What's your process for using GPT-3 to aid your writing?
Well, of course it's possible: The widgets can be stored in a tree-like data structure, which is constructed and modified by the UI editor, can be loaded and stored in a file, and is interpreted by a runtime which calls the corresponding widget functions ooops we've just reinvented retained-mode GUIs.
Did the one you come from attempt to invade the entire world? What are your theories for the fact that the majority of people that lived the transition as adults think it was worse than what came before? What are your theories on why, despite being economic juggernauts, the application of neoliberal economic principles regressed them to barely above the global average? And what are you theories for the >10 million excess deaths in those countries in the decade or so after 1991?
Uber, Lyft, Postmates, DoorDash, Instacart. And as a driver, the switching cost is roughly zero. The companies absolutely do have to to compete for workers, which is why they spend so much on attracting them.
What you want is to use uMatrix, select the asterisk button next to the domain, disable scripts but allow 1st party scripts.

with this little change, you automatically block 99% of trackers (which run from the tracker's domain) and enjoy mostly functional websites.

When needed, just open uMatrix, and allow scripts either globally or per domain, to get client side integrations to work.

another benefit is to disable iframes globally. uMatrix replace them with a link to the iframe content, which is what you really want 99% of the time you want an iframe (which is otherwise mostly used for ads)

* uMatrix is from the same author of UBO. and it is the perfect sweet spot between UBO and noScript, for advanced users.
Prop 22 is written such that it can only be modified by 7/8 vote of the legislature in the future. Its funders made sure to protect their "investment" from the normal political process of push/pull/debate/change.

In the words of one political science professor:

> “I’ve looked at a lot of ballot measures over the years,” said Moylan, adding that a two-thirds majority is common.

> But a seven-eighths “super, super, super-duper majority,” she said, “is new as far as I’m aware.”

To add to what the other commenter said, it also could add stability, rather than instability. Imagine a popular opinion that’s right around 50%, fluctuating by epsilon every year. If every time it went from 50+epsilon to 50-epsilon, the law changed, it would be too hard to get anything done, so a little bit of friction isn’t a terrible thing (a little bit). A system where it takes a 7/8 vote has this anti-fickleness property, where 7/8+epsilon can pass, but 7/8-epsilon can’t undo (though 7/8 is way too much friction).
Birdnet is great! It is an app on your phone which lets you record birdsong and analyse it to tell you which bird you can hear.

I've never been good at identifying birds by their songs, but thanks to this app I'm getting better at recognizing the ones in our local areal.

Wait, what? They used the terrible mini HDMI to cram 2 ports onto the Pi 4 just so that it can claim dual 4k at 30hz? Ugh that's a terrible compromise, hopefully the Pi 5 corrects back to just a single full-size HDMI port...
It is very easy to run a git repository. However you (and your ISP) might receive DMCA notices and have to respond or at least deal with legal notices yourself.
I'm honestly torn on this.

The hammer of justice approach of the 20th century was _clearly_ a huge mistake that disproportionately punished minorities. The fact that people could 10+ year sentences for possession of cannabis (with no charge of intent to distribute) through a combination of mandatory minimum sentences and so-called three strikes laws was and is a massive travesty of justice.

I 100% support the legalization of recreational cannabis use.

I also support not criminalizing addiction.

That all being said, if you look at cities like Seattle or San Francisco (eg the Tenderloin) you see the negative externalities that a lack of enforcement brings. People open shooting heroin in the streets doesn't seem like a good outcome. For anyone.

I honestly don't know where the happy middle ground is here.
Totally agree with except for you last line.

Trump is accused of a lot of stuff, but so are the democrats, and all of it has some level of credibility.

That is why it is close.

Ironically I think it nets out to bring a lot more about policies and political beliefs than ‘who is accused of what’, since nobody looks that good.

Biden made some stupid unforced errors which I think confirm republican’s fears.

Trumpeting gun control at stupid moments is the biggest mistake - one which Clinton also made.
Nice, good luck! Gosh I hate to dissuade you because the energy is great but a bit of competitive intel on competitive intel, these are some bloody waters. Startups and solo devs won't pay for CI and big companies need to be sold on CI (by the below players).

CI/MI players: Bertin IT, Cipher, Comintelli, Crayon, Digimind, Klue, Kompyte, Market Logic, M-Brain, Northern Light, Sharpr, and Wide Narrow

This obviously doesn't include the media monitoring tools like Brandwatch, Meltwater, or the page trackers, or the SEM tools that also do social tracking (SEMRush, Ahrefs, etc)...

Edit: if i were to bet on CI, i'd try to go after content analytics in a heavy way, and compete with BuzzSumo

In Canada, mail in ballots have a separate, earlier deadline.

If you do not mail your ballot on time, there is another simple solution, you go to the (lineless) polls on election day.

When they check everyone in they confirm that they have not already received a mail-in-ballot from that individual before allowing you to the booth.

With enough time allocated for mail-in-ballots, I feel that it doesn't matter that the deadline is earlier.
Deadlines are fairly arbitrary either way and at some point you need to select a winner.

If you have plenty of opportunity to vote and you do not vote by the deadline, your vote is not counted regardless of the method you have chosen.
same thing really

Good luck to you if you ever say that out loud, but I do think that bullying victims are at least somewhat better equipped than the average person to empathize with victims of other types of discrimination.

And I am tired of hearing that ever since the 90s.

Clearly, deep fakes changed society. Made people more paranoid and less believing of what they see. Is that a positive change though?

Meanwhile, you still have to manually load dishes in the dishwasher, and robot vacuum cleaners stumble and block on the easiest of obstacles.

Call me a cynic but AI work needs to get out of its comfy well-funded bro-club corner and start to seriously try and solve real-actual-physical-world problems. It's all well and good that scientist X can model a text paragraph with this or that NN but when will he solve a car driving itself?

And don't get me wrong. I know science can take a long time to make a breakthrough. It's not adhering to the same laws as everyday work -- I am aware and I am clamouring for science. But I don't feel the AI area is even heading in any direction at all. Could be wrong though.

If you expect to read a personal account with fresh insights that matches the HN title, you will be disappointed.

I would have love to have read your personal angle. More on how things came about, the doubts, challenges - not the general stuff, but what it was like for the both of you.
Imo you already figured it out with this HN thread. "Busy People" got me to click, 'elite' added to your bounce rate.
If you are a worker, AB5 would lower the probability of you being classifier as an employee with benefits instead of a contractor.

This did not set that precedent. Anyone has been free to write California ballot propositions for quite some time.
It's hard to see a way to prevent that eventuality given the Citizens United ruling and the conservative bent of the federal supreme court.

Winner of US election remains unclear as vote counting continues
Sure, the mechanics of how things become "law" is complicated by the fact that you can have actual laws, constitutional amendments, supreme court decisions, etc, depending on the exact thing being discussed and where responsibility for it rests in the various levels of government in the US.

But no matter how you slice it, I see no obvious support in the data for the original claim that "gay marriage was legalized when popular support was only at 25%".

Now maybe there were some states that had support at only 25% in 2015. For example, https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/where-same-sex-marriage... is a 2014 article that mentions that Missisipi had 14% support in 2004 and support went up by "1-2% per year since then". So _maybe_ it was at only 25%, as an absolute lower bound. But chances are it was higher than that even there.

Your article states Prop 22 gives the legislature more power than normal.

> By default, a law enacted by ballot measure can only be changed by another law enacted by ballot measure.
The exception to that rule: If crafters of the initiative explicitly say otherwise.
No surprise, many ballot measures do not say otherwise. Compared to that default, Prop. 22’s high bar for amendments actually gives the Legislature more influence than the norm.
He should argue that because of the prevalence of Covid-19 in the United States and the inability of the US to protect even the President of the United States from Covid-19, that extradition is a possible extra legal death sentence.

I had the same reaction as others to "elite". I think you risk putting off the actual elite professionals and attract the aspirational with that phrasing. If that's not the intention, cutting "elite" will probably help a lot.
I find using set, TLA, or other mathematical notation cumbersome to explain these things. Would a visualization would make it more approachable?

I logged into just to say this is spot on.

The complexity added by all the services for deploy, bug tracing, and dear god, security auditing, made for a living hellscape that crippled our ability to ship software for some time. Not to mention the bifurcation of resources to keep the monolith happening for customers using it while the microservice mess is being created.

There is almost a zealot-like-brainwashing that has happened to folks. I made case after case to our engineering team "This doesn't solve our business use cases. We're prematurely scaling. We're unable to move code into production efficiently. This is very hard to understand for outsiders joining our team." --- All fell on deaf ears since I "didn't get it." When I put a hard stop on adding any more microservices without a use scale for why we need that scale, I was called "toxic."

In the end we fired the whole team since they wouldn't buy into destroying their microservice dream world for something practical and put everything back in the monolith except for one service.

Our amazon bill is 1/8th what it was. Security auditing/upkeep is 1/100th what it once was. Deploys are done without fanfare more than 1x/week. Our average response time is down from 500ms to less than 100ms since we aren't hop-scotching services all over God's green earth.

Note: This isn't a tiny project. 200k users, 700-1000 requests/minute during peak times, lots of data moving through this.

Honestly, it sounds like you're just looking for an excuse to not like the 400. Especially since others have said that it comes with an adapter.

It's like saying you won't buy one because it looks too much like a Commodore 64.
Seems more like random Chinese sentences, based on Google translate anyway. Which seems inline with all the other issues posted in English.

The big tax loss is all the removal of deductions that the state gets if they’re employees, which nobody talks about with AB5 on the govt side because they know it wouldn’t go over well.

I heard a rumor way back that they transported individual frames outside of WebRTC; if so, that saves them from having to tie in with that stack.

I really think it should be possible or even easy to write a WebRTC videoframes-only client, I just haven't had any luck. In fact, I've seen a few people saying they simply scripted Chrome with a <video> tag instead! That's madness.

Have you actually read the book we are talking about? In the real world, the CNT/FAI did not take ownership of the private property, it put it under the property of those that used said property.

In any case, the collapse of liberalism is inevitable. Liberalism requires capitalism which requires infinite sustained growth. Infinite growth cannot be sustained, therefore eventually capitalism will collapse. There are, of course, a dozen other ways in which liberal capitalism is an unstable system which must collapse, and most of those reasons can be eventually boiled down to misalignment of the incentives of those with economic and political power, and of the rest of us. So any durable alternative will inevitably have to bridge this divide, and this will mean going after the class system.

When that happens, you have a few alternatives that open up. I'd rather not go for a death cult.

By the way, the reason why academia is full of socialists is not because of some perversion, or subversion, or anything of the sort, it is because the first people to ever apply the scientific method to the analysis of society came to the conclusion that liberal capitalism is incredibly problematic and that it is existential that it should be changed (on historic timescales). Indeed, you can Google the "fathers of social science" and you might be surprised on the political views of those three.
I think the difficulty of adopting (financially, legally as same-sex couple) is more likely why you see fewer same-sex families.
I have to question the premise of such a service. The statements in the "Why Sunsama?" section are comically grandiose. I sincerely doubt that people who are "struggling to keep up" are hindered primarily by poor scheduling or, if they are, that they will listen to reminders coming from yet-another piece of software or that the software will magically know how best to prioritize tasks. Based on these claims, I would easily toss this product in the "snake oil" category of products and services which promise to make my life awesome but which, at best, might make a marginal improvement. If there is more to the software, awesome, but that should be front-and-center because as it stands I see no real value proposition.
Oh? Obamacare is the recent, big one that comes to mind. The crazy thing is that the "charitable" parts were part of it back in 1991, when it was considered a right-wing proposal, but the Overton window moved so far to the right that today's right wing called them socialism and kicked them out the door.

Goverment funding has been chopped for state schools, housing projects, the list goes on. The right kills social programs on a practically daily basis. Not to mention shifting the tax burden away from the upper class and towards the middle class. If your taxes have been going up over the last 30 years, it's because you aren't upper class.

And yeah, social spending has increased ever since we shipped all the jobs to China. Democrats rationalized it by promising to use the new revenue on social programs; Republicans put a stop to that straight away. The American middle class got double-teamed. Privatize the gains, socialize the losses!
Yes. Dotcom ran a business that had operations in the US. It makes no difference where somebody resides or if they have ever been to a country. If I live in France and hire a team of people to rob a bank in the US, I have committed crime in the US.

You would think somebody with past convictions for insider trading, credit card fraud, hacking, and embezzlement would be a bit smarter about his next criminal enterprise.

FYI -- Don't locate a data center in the US if plan on breaking US laws.

Humans raise mink in horrible conditions just to be slaughtered so we can make a fashion statement. Then, when the very conditions we created become an inconvenience to us, we slaughter them and fail to make even frivolous use of them, rendering their tortured lives even more pointless and sad.

As someone who has worked at Amazon as a PM, it's always surprising how many different verticals that the company expands to. But it's probably not all that surprising:

2. Lots of eLearning platforms internally so easy to build out
3. Amazon selling books --> Amazon helping with exams isn't that big of a stretch
