This is great news. This country needs more regulation and unions, in a big way. Some entity has to look out for small business and workers. At least the former have friends in government today.

That would be a great deterrent for car-jacking.

"Ahh we can't service your car/accept it as a trade-in since it contains parts that were reported stolen".
I have to figure that those times are pretty contrived. Maybe you can evacuate in 90 seconds, if all of the "passengers" are skinny and athletic, and know what's going to happen, and don't have any extra stuff to try and grab, and there's no fire or smoke, etc.

All that makes it a little hard to say what the real effect is. It would probably be a bit slower, but I bet with all of the optimizations for their 90 second test evacuations, the all-bed-plane could still evacuate faster than a plane-full of real passengers.

I guess there's just nobody ambitions enough around to try something really new.
There is no magic "6ft apart". It's just the maximum that seemed reasonable to demand. It's about the width of a supermarket aisle or a typical business hallway. Metric countries surely don't use that distance. Nothing is said about length of exposure or ventilation quality either.
There's a correlation because people who live in dangerous places tend to carry guns. But that's not causation--there's no reason to suspect that carrying a gun increases my chances of being killed by a gun.
I spotted the same thing :) that pistol and rocket launcher are quite memorable :)
In Canada, hydro dams generate most of the electricity. It attracts amongst others huge aluminium smelters in Quebec. So the idea of not being able to generate industrial products with solar panels or dams is not a 100% valid argument
This seems to be a rehash of the same GPT3 gobbledygook packaged in a very low effort SaaS. Several attempts yielded nothing but basic templated pages you see everywhere containing mostly the verbiage I provided and some non-sensical filler that seems to have been grabbed from reddit comments.
The Netherlands has a mask rule that doesn't even require you to wear them inside with other people around. If I am not mistaken the requirement is that you are required to wear them when you cannot maintain the 1.5M distance, but that of course is just shifting the enforcement to the business owners instead of the government. In any other situation you are strictly recommended to wear them.

I don't get why the Dutch government and the 'average' dutch person isn't wearing it all the time. People still consider it 'weird' to wear it and even in the capital city (Amsterdam) people look at me weirdly when I wear it outside. About 10% isn't wearing it in stores or even the airport is a place where people still skip out on the face mask. They should just enforce this rule instead of closing other places where it is actually possible to maintain the distance.
My point was more than guix and nix could both write to the same store using a single daemon compatible with both in the future. Ensuring some cooperation between the two going forward.

That currently isn't possible, but would be nice.

I imagine it could only work for packages, not for system configuration. But that still would be a huge win.
kinda depends on what type of "slacking" we're talking about. so called "time theft" is essentially fraud, which is definitely illegal. usually not worth the effort to prove when you can just fire people.

But if wearing a mask becomes a political statement there's bound to be a political statement to the contrary from the other side. I don't think that's a game we should play. Let's just follow the science where possible.
> But it's a contract violation, not violence, so a monetary comparison is completely sociopathic.

Theft in general doesn't involve violence or the threat of violence. You're thinking of robbery.

One merely has to illegally deprive someone of something they legally own in order to commit theft. A pickpocketing is a theft. A mugging is a robbery. Wage theft is an entirely appropriate name. You could also call it "wage misappropriation" or "wage embezzlement" (though "embezzlement" generally applies to company property) if you want to make it sound classier :-P

Fair enough, I'm probably being overly cynical.
The open spaces by me are very narrow. When overtaking someone or passing by someone going the opposite direction, you can't avoid being close to them. Sure, it's brief, but you should probably have a mask on for that. For some people mask on/mask off is a lot more hassle than just leaving it on.
Yes, but it's pretty annoying nonetheless.

No, Disney has not made a statement one way or the other about whether ADF is owed money for anything or by anyone. They haven't actually responded to anyone on this except ADF to ask him to privately discuss things with them.

The statement about them not acquiring the liabilities of author contracts when they acquired the contractual rights was made by the SFWA in describing what they thought Disney was doing.

What is "reactionary right-wing propaganda" about Jonathan Haidt [1]? That's a completely unfounded assertion.

My biggest annoyance is that it suggests videos I've already watched. Old and new. I totally understand if a recently uploaded video gets suggested several times a day or over a few days, but it suggests videos I've watched years ago, and also months ago. Over and over again.

Their "don't suggest this video" or channel doesn't work for shit either.
What if you change the default FOV of the camera? Now all your tests fail for no good reason.

Which is completely fine, because you probably wouldn't want to accidentally change the FOV, would you?

High confidence tests fail on unexpected results. If only some aspects of the results are checked, the tests have obvious blind spots.
Thank you very much for your time taking part in the survey and your great feedback.
That is exactly our goal - to help patients with decision making.
Patients often are quite unsure about what is the aesthetically best option for them and want to know what people prefer in general - and the least we should be able to do for patients is give the good and research-backed advice.

We know that some picture combinations look very similar - however there are no duplicates in the survey. However of course, sometimes it is quite difficult to make a decision.
But we also measure the time of every decision - so in the end we will be able to tell which aspects are quite obvious and therefore quick and easy to decide - and which are not.

Thank you for your support!
I really really hope you also wear your mask and hopefully rubber gloves when you sleep at home, because think about it, the air in your house came from the outside where PEOPLE BREATH!!! Better safe than sorry, right! Mask up! Never take it down. It makes you a good human being. You'll get lots of friends on Twitter. Make sure to update your profile photo whilst sleeping with a mask!
Same behavior from Intel, using MBA tricks instead of innovating.

[1] Intel "'Forgot' to Mention 28-Core, 5-GHz CPU Demo Was Overclocked to such an extreme that it required a one-horsepower industrial water chiller" https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-28-core-cpu-5ghz,372...

[2] Intel decides Cinebench "which has a really niche usefulness" in their Tiger Lake presentation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFHBgb9SY1Y

[3] Intel allegedly paid manufacturers "rebates" to limit their purchases of AMD, ended up paying $1.25B to AMD and $1.45B more to the EU for the antitrust practices. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Micro_Devices,_Inc._v....

From the article:

Intel’s explanation for why AMD CPUs lose so much performance
on battery is that the systems wait for 7-10 seconds before
engaging turbo mode

... the settings that control the amount of time before turbo
modes engage and the overall performance delta between AC and
DC power are settings that the OEM controls, not AMD.

... Intel’s five comparison systems for itself came from MSI,
Lenovo, Intel itself (in the form of a laptop kit), and two
from HP. Intel is drawing on a much wider range of manufacturers
for its own systems. I don’t know anything about the NUC laptop
kit - haven't had the opportunity to test one - but I would have
preferred the fifth system be a standard commercial comparison,
and the AMD systems should have been drawn from an equally diverse
pool of hardware as the Intel ones were. There are four
manufacturers represented for Intel, and two for AMD.

...

When Intel gave its presentation, it made a point of calling
out the fact that Cinebench R20 doesn’t show the same behavior
as the other benchmarks it had chosen to highlight.

The "oddly" is straight-up FUD. Cinebench R23 also doesn’t
show the 30-48 percent pattern of decline Intel claims. Neither
does Corona Render. Neither does Handbrake. Neither does
JetStream 2. Neither does Blender 2.90. Neither does the
Blender 1.0Beta2 benchmark (not shown, but I ran it).
Launch HN: Serenade – Write code using natural speech
Hi HN!

I'm Tommy, one of the co-founders of Serenade [1], an app that enables you to write code using natural speech rather than typing [2].

We started working on Serenade after developing a repetitive strain injury (RSI) in the wrist, which made typing and clicking really painful. We've built out our own speech engine that's designed specifically for code, along with an NLP layer to translate descriptions of code (like "list of string") to syntactically-valid code (like "List<String>") across a variety of languages. In fact, much of Serenade has been created using Serenade itself.

Today, we're launching Serenade Pro [3], which runs all of Serenade's speech-to-code AI on your device rather than in the cloud. The security of your codebase is important, and with Serenade Pro, no data ever leaves your device. We've also raised a seed round to continue building out our ML while bringing more languages, editors, and commands to Serenade [4].

Adding voice to your coding workflow can be a great way to deal with (or prevent) issues to your hands, wrists, and so on. Ultimately, we think applying ML to code will help automate away many of the rote, mechanical parts of programming, enabling developers to focus more on expressing ideas.

We'd love to hear what you think!

Going from 0 paying customers to 1 is really difficult. Specially if you're asking for a recurring subscription.

Getting noticed is one of the hardest parts. Just having a great product is no longer enough.

For every Basecamp, there are probably tens, or even hundreds of similar competitors.

Can I name a few? Maybe.

What about the top 10? Probably not, and that's exactly the problem.
Really cool project, going to play around with it, since I wanted to experiment with alternative algorithms for these kind of platforms for a while, but didn't found time to get started.

My biggest gripe with YouTube recommendations, or any service of that kind (Spotify, Amazon, etc.), is that they don't understand what aspects of the content I value. So it is a huge hit and miss. Sometimes it works, because I guess I just happen to value the same things that the majority of people do, other times, I might watch an hour long very in-depth video about a topic, then YouTube for a week or so tries to get me to watch 5 minute, rather shallow introduction videos that are way more popular. There is nothing wrong with those videos per se, they are often really well made, but it is not what I'm looking for.

Other times it picks stuff up from the long tail that seemingly gets into a feedback loop, suddenly reaching millions of view, with practically zero relevance to me.

Then there are some personal tastes of mine, e.g. that I can't stand the, I guess I'd call it the "Youtube Voice" where creators go completely over the top instead of talking like a normal person.

I wonder what metric could be used as a proxy to get better recommendations? Or if a better approach would be, to just build a better custom search so I can tweak it to what I'm looking for at this moment in time.
Sounds similar to how I trained my TikTok feed while I was playing around with it for a week - repeatedly clicking on not interested for dancing, cooking, and general youth stuff left me with a feed composed of nature videos - pretty cool.

On a side note, tiktok has to have the best recommendation algorithm possible - not good for us, but good as in addicting.
Thanks for being the hero our society needs.

> This was not my point

Fair enough, I misunderstood.

> increasing aggression or anti-social behaviour.
> I'm not convinced the data is correct.

I'm not convinced the data is correct either. What are we talking about, then? It's a baseless claim, as empirical data shows.

> the reason we have the state, courts, justice...

The reason we have those things is that we have to coexist with other people. There is no necessary relation between state and ethics, nor there should be.
Politics on a large scale is the result of interest groups with differing moral codes/interests/priorities pushing in various directions.

> There are very good arguments against morality in general...

I'm not trying to argue morality does or doesn't exist, it's not a question I find personally interesting, I was just claiming the request for morality to be universally grounded is unreasonable, we seem to agree there. I don't really have an objection to what you're saying.

Mathematics is very different because it's a formal language. One could view all mathematics as purely string manipulation.
There's no requirement to agree on anything, not even the meaning of the symbols, except for a set of primitive concepts and a set of axioms.
In a formal language you have proper definitions and checkable (even machine-checkable) proofs, a privilege that natural language doesn't enjoy.

Much appreciated, I'll take a look.
Awesome, glad to hear it! Let me know if you have any suggestions for improvements.
Yes, but that's their life, not random internet shit.
<What about employees stealing time from the employer?>
If an employee is caught stealing time from his/her job, they are usually fired, no questions asked. If an employer steals time from an employee, especially when the times of work were preset and agreed upon, if the employee complains usually they are reminded that there's always someone else who can do the job if they don't want to.

This was Stallman's argument as well. It is also part of why he was canceled.

In the USA and many other places we, society generally holds that, below a certain age, people are still mentally "children" and unable to evaluate certain life decisions. Therefore, if someone above that age convinces someone below that age to enter into an act that the younger party is not able to understand, then the younger party was effectively coerced, even if from their perspective the activity was consensual.

There are a few activities that fall into this category: purchasing drugs and alcohol, driving motor vehicles, enlisting in the military, and sex.

So yes, having "consensual" sex with a minor is rightly considered coercion and therefore rape, unless you disagree with the line of reasoning stated above. Yes, it's not violent like some rape, but it is still definitionally rape. And it absolutely can and does have negative effects on the victim, see here (https://psychology.stackexchange.com/a/21989) for a pretty thorough dive into the subject and a huge pile of academic sources.

And that's not all. In at least one instance, Stallman specifically hypothesized that the girls who Minsky had a sexual encounter with on Epstein's island "presented themselves as entirely willing". We don't know what exactly happened between Minksy and Virginia Giuffre, and it is indeed likely that Epstein's sex slaves were instructed to present themselves as willing. But with his poor word choice and prior history of publicly not understanding the concept of statutory rape, it was a bad look for him, and all it took was one Vice journalist taking him out of context to bring the shitstorm down on his head.
Intel is getting desperate. Sounds like they want to go down in an ugly way.
How about the downside of normalizing wearing a mask? These are not normal times and this is not the new normal; I want everyone to wear a mask because it must be done not because we should permanently condition ourselves that this is how we now live.
The right to self-defense seems pretty fundamental to me. Denying someone the right to use the best self-defense tools available is an infringement of that right.

> too young to exercise this "right"

Lots of rights are restricted before you reach the age of majority. I'm fine with saying that when you're old enough to vote (or join the armed forces, or drive a car, or whatever) then that's when you're allowed to carry a gun.

> conditions where it can be infringed (e.g.: a psychopath in jail)

Sure, lots of rights are denied to people in jail. I'm fine with restricting this right similarly, and to people who have been judged (with due process protections) to be insane.

> are there spaces where it can be infringed (e.g.: can a daycare forbid it)

Although I think such prohibitions are generally a bad idea, I'm fine with people having the ability to enforce them on their own private property. "Your rights end at my doorstep," etc.
Are there other societies you have in mind where wage theft is a criminal offense? It seems to me that the difference in punishment is because of the mechanism of the theft, not a judgment that the underlying fiscal harm doesn't matter.
I wish the EU banned their shit as well. We have other means of communication. We don't need US companies influencing our lives & decision making.
I completely agree, but even easier for me to give them up because I don’t have access to any of the “perks” in my area. So I’m paying full price for my membership but I don’t have most of the services.
> I also cancelled the AMA because I got demands for all sorts of things, on a holiday weekend! People got angry because I didn't reply to their demands right away

Absolutely nobody did that to you.

> and thought I was some sort of undercover employee.

One (1) guy did that and was downvoted, while you were massively upvoted and complimented.

> the crap that I went through and seeing atitudes like this.

You went through nothing at all, and yet all of a sudden you completely lost your shit and started flooding the sub with nonsensical one-liners crapping on every person asking a question. And it was not the first you behaved so, you had done the same kind of things a few weeks earlier. I still remember you and those episodes because it is not often that we see someone throwing a tantrum like that for no reason, let alone twice in a row. "Attitudes" was the right word indeed.

Youve proven unable to fathom that the media is asynchronous and people asking questions (in an AMA of which you picked the day and time, how dare they?) does not compel you to answer immediately, or at all. The thread can last a week or more if needed, there is no need to drop what you are doing if that's your precious week-end time.

By the way, nobody knows about your holidays, nobody knows about your family, nobody knows about your habits, nobody knows about your schedule and how you manage them. Nobody could, especially considering it is only one year later, on a different media, that you start mentioning it.

> I frankly don't blame people for not wanting to post about it

Others similar threads went OK, the current thread today is going fine. Don't blame others for derailing threads when you were the one doing it.
There’s the obvious question, why not just wear a mask 100% of the time? There are no downsides, right?

There can be. Perhaps my mask had been in use for a while, I suspect it’s gotten dirty enough to be a potential health hazard, but I don’t have another mask to replace it? I’d still use it if people are around, but would try to reduce my exposure to it otherwise. Maybe I have asthma or some type of breathing difficulty, and wearing a mask makes it worse? I think those two are probably among the most common reasons.
Honestly I'd get rid of the USB and use the Pi 4 compute module with NVMe next year.

USB connectors suck balls, one bump or connector dangling over the edge of your desk that gets hit by a hip and you have a device reenumeration, no idea what havoc that would have on the kernel that's running off it.

USB is evil. Never use it for anything mission critical.
This reminded me of an hourly job I had where I was expected to be there 15 minutes early, then I got in trouble for clocking in as soon as I sat down. I just told my supervisor and manager that if I'm there I'm clocking in. After that, I had permission to show up late.
Efficacy has been proven to a high enough degree of certainty that these vaccines are now being submitted for approval. Safety was largely proven in Phase 1/2 trials (before tens of thousands of people were injected with the stuff for Phase 3 trials). And all signs continue to show the vaccine to be safe (and data will continue to be collected for at least a year or two for the various Phase 3 trials).

Maybe "you" need more data for whatever concept you have in your head of how this should work. However, within the scientific community involved with developing and approving these vaccines, the data we have is sufficient (pending review of course).
That's where the "end" in "endgame" comes from. They're not there yet.

Beware the risks of doing things just for appearances and encouraging others to do so, it gives weight to the people who deny mask wearing does anything.

It really bothers me when the CEO of that health company was being harrassed for not wearing a mask after he has recovered from an infection, the mask would do nothing for him or anybody else, but he wasn’t using it as a political statement so he was doing wrong?
How much of the total compensation is health insurance premiums increasing, though? It doesn't seem like it would improve a worker's situation if the chart just shows that an increasingly greater percentage of their compensation has been funneled to insurance companies over the years . . .
