If you talk to someone who works/worked in publishing or the creative arts scenes (MFA programs, etc.), you'll see that KI is likely specifically addressing that crowd - his industry.

I think a lot of the general populace is aware of the dynamics that he's talking about, but in publishing it's another world/level.

Interesting example that's the norm in the space: the story "I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter" by Isabel Fall. Bear with me as I likely butcher the pronouns/terms etc, but my intent is earnest and well meaning here...

Isabel is a trans woman author. She/they weren't out when that story was published in a scifi mag. The story makes some pretty obvious references to sexual/gender identity, and the writing has very specific commentary and sometimes mockery.

Isabel, not known to be trans at the time, faced a torrent of online abuse for ~appropriating/joking about/exploring concepts about gender identity. The motivation was pretty clear: Isabel wasn't trans (as far as the public knew).

The story had passed some "sensitivity readings" too (yes, sensitivity readers are another interesting area to explore), but the online reception was still awful. There's also a difference between criticism vs. outright internet abuse. Isabel's experiences were pretty firmly in the latter.

The author took down the story, I believe came out or the news outed her/they, and the details go on (finger pointing, revisions of criticism about the story given light of the author's gender, etc.).

The point of all this is that's an insane dynamic to create in, and that's the tip of the iceberg really with what Publishing is going through. Young Adult fiction is apparently one of the ground zeros for this dynamic.
Hardly so.

There's ample evidence that the current is the greatest opportunity for dissenting thought and opinion to have massive reach without much consequence or effort.

The idea that we're in a dark age of thought is purely rhetorical and only serves to frame a narrative that further amplifies ideas that would never had a chance to propagate before the information era.

Furthermore, we are living in a time of such absurdity that there are politicians giving internationally televised press conferences about how their speech is being suppressed and they have no power.

The only self-restriction is by people that don't have the conviction to stand by their ideas, or actually have not thought through their perspective to adequate level of introspection and evidence that can survive free and open discourse. Instead it's much easier to exclaim victimhood and censorship and not bother examining ideas beyond a gut feeling.
zsh-autosuggestion definitely has per-folder suggestions, in normal day-to-day work I haven't seen a difference to fish so far (fish may have added features in the last two years that I'm not aware of, but the basic context-senstive suggestions are definitely supported).
Ask HN: My company wants to build a tool. I want to build it as a SaaS business
I'm an engineer at a small non-tech company. I noticed that our process could be improved if we automated X. Two months ago, I cut down to part-time, so that I could work on validating this, with the intent of turning it into a SaaS business if it looked promising. I learned from talking with other companies that while this is a small problem, many companies have it and would be willing to pay for an off the shelf solution.

I was planning on doing more research, when our PM mentioned to me that we would be building this tool in-house. Apparently one of our clients offered us $50,000 to build the tool, because the automation improvement would save them quite a bit of money. This tool is not related to our core business, and I don't believe my company would build it in-house, if this client hadn't offer us $50,000.Nobody at the company is aware that I am working on this problem, but I need to determine how to proceed before the team starts on building this tool.

My current plan is to chat with the PM, and tell him/her I would like to build it and eventually sell it to the company at $XXX/mo. This arrangement would benefit my company, because they could have a lot of influence over the solution I build, but would only have to pay me $XXX/mo once the solution is complete. At that point, they could take the $50,000 from their client, and pocket the savings. The arrangement would benefit me because I would have a first customer before I start building, and it would help me launch my company/service.

Are there any problems with going this route? Is there a better way to handle this situation? On the legal side of things, is there anything I should be looking into? I would talk to a lawyer if my company agrees to this arrangement, since I'd like to figure out a way to prevent my company from saying 6 months from now that they own this service that I built. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks HN!
Something tells me he's going to be perfectly content to settle for richest man on Earth.

Who was fired for not having pronouns in their bio?
Having the ability to use Touch ID for sudo is handy. I’ve been using it for a while.

Coupled with `expect` I use it to authenticate through SSH (that is the only feasible option I got to connect to hosts I’ve got limited access). I even wrote about it: https://antonio-ramadas.github.io/blog/2020/10/30/ssh-login-...

Here is the gist of it:

#!/usr/bin/expect

# Connects via SSH to the host passed as argument

set timeout 60
set server [lindex $argv 0]
set username <USERNAME>
set password [exec sudo cat <PATH_TO_YOUR_PASSWORD_FILE>]

spawn ssh $username@$server

expect {
"yes/no" { send "yes\r" ; exp_continue }
"\*?assword" { send "$password\r" }
}

interact

Edit: Please remove all permissions from the password file with:

chmod a-rwx <PATH_TO_PASSWORD_FILE>

I’m also assuming you run this script on an environment you control and trust. Be wary of your password.
I have gotten confirmation from several DPAs that state a very different interpretation.

You can’t segregate the same service, two distinct services one that is provided with ads that include 3rd party cookies and a separate paid service that does not is perfectly fine.

What you cannot do is to create multiple tiers in a free service based on different levels of tracking.
This is one of the categories of protections unions historically offered.

Probably also worth noting that one does have the right to go to court if one believes one was wrongfully terminated. When Google fired James Damore, he sued. But the National Labor Relations Board ruled the firing was justified because he had made not-legally-protected statements that risked creating a hostile work environment.

Going to stop you right there. I wasn’t making any analogies. I was talking in literal terms.
Surprising how much press "cancel culture" gets these days as if it's a new thing or as if it's a new thing being pushed on society by the left. We've always had cancel culture. Some might remember the Dixie Chicks. How about the Rachael Ray ad that Dunkin Donuts pulled merely because it looked like an Arab scarf? Jerry Falwell came to prominence entirely based on his pushing of cancel culture. When I lived in North Carolina, one of the things that was repeated all the time was that a newspaper editor would lose his job for publishing a story with a positive spin on free trade. You can go back further to McCarthyism, Turing being prosecuted for being gay, and on and on.

Cancel culture remains a thing. Apparently now that folks aren't just being cancelled for supporting gay marriage, the free exchange of ideas is suddenly important. The outright hypocrisy of so many on this issue is the biggest story.

Edit: Forgot to mention this extreme example of cancel culture:

https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/professor-who-wore-hijab-...

A professor was cancelled because she wore a hijab. There was no outrage at all from the usual suspects.
I'm really troubled by the way that the author of this article nonchalantly describes wildly unethical means of monetising a browser extension, like cryptocurrency mining, search hijacking, and remote web proxying -- often even mentioning that they've tried these methods (yikes), or discussing how profitable they could be.

If you're writing an article about ways to make money, you don't list "robbery" or "kidnapping" as serious options. If you're writing an article about monetising software, you don't list techniques which abuse your users' trust (and which the vendor has banned) as options there, either.

I'm not following this closely, but from what I gathered from the news, two crimes were punished. Calling that a first time offense shouldn't fly.
the post specifically talks about young people self-censoring themselves.

I can't recall another era were young authors were afraid of being marginalized by other young people for being young and having radical (and sometimes plain stupid) ideas.

I remember old, conservative people doing it to youngsters, but not to themselves, despite being the ones with bad - sometimes very bad - thoughts.

There is no "systematic housing shortage." There are 59 vacant housing units for every homeless person in the US. [0] Even California has more than 9 empty housing units per homeless person. [ibid]

The opposite has been true for many decades now. There are many Christians who are extremely capable scientists, ready to perform experiments, document cause and effect and all manners of empirical scientific study but can't find work (or tenure) because they're not willing to bet all their beliefs on the theory that everything came from literally nothing, which is by itself non-scientific anyway.
Text editors that can put control characters into files, and indeed PC keyboards that have a [Control] key, have been around for decades, though. For example: With WordStar, SideKick, and Microsoft's EDIT, one just typed [Control]+[P] and then the control character. M. Darkphibre mentioned VIM, but really this isn't an idea that was ever limited to just VIM and emacs.
They are pretty justified, publishing is going through a heavy, but very internal, reckoning. That's likely what Ishiguro is speaking too, although it's missed given how the concerns are mainstream concerns now.
As for "why," your guess is as good as mine. The entire design of the Model 3 eschews buttons in favor of the screen interface, so this likely is another example of that. In practice, I usually ask passengers before we start driving if they'd like their seat heated, if it's cold enough outside that it's a reasonable question to ask.

Window controls do remain physical switches, in the standard configuration (e.g., the driver can control all four windows, and each passenger window has a nearby switch as well.)
laughs in ostrich
You can't deny that in terms of Bayesian probability, the odds are higher for a homeless person to be mentally unhinged than for the average person. Simply because mental illness is often the cause for homelessness.
It's not misleading. It's a JSON parser written in 6502 assembly language. The C stuff is just things you may or may not want to do with a JSON parser (json65-file.c to parse the content of a given FILE, json65-tree.c to deserialize JSON into a tree data structure).
>just suspended placements in AP courses for all students out of equity concerns.

The "ruling" class were angry that the plumbers' kids weren't paying a full 4yr of dues to the state colleges so now they're making it so you need to go to private school if you want to get a head start at college gen-eds. And they sold the idea to the masses in the name of making all the animals equal.

I'm being cynical. More likely the people responsible just don't know or care and pushing everybody down is just the easiest way to appease the pro-equity crowd.

This is certainly not the case. A lot of people whose first and only internet enabled device is a smartphone don't end up creating an email.
Brazos is a co-op, and is not part of the competetive retail market operated by ERCOT. They own their own generation and distribution, but are part of the grid for reliability purposes.

I'm not aware of any mechanism that could force their customers (who are also the owners) into that market.
The thing I really want from my heart surgeon is not so much surgical experience, but tons of positive energy in meetings, a penchant for creative woodworking in their spare time, and a real go-get-em attitude!
I am confused by this. The comment is against taking care of lazy people directly, but also hits on government spending which would be the way to make direct personal care of lazy people indirect. As to the infinite money - we have more than enough productive capacity to supply basics of life to everyone without trying to somehow further weigh if their laziness needs to be punitively motivated for basic living support.

Is this some fear that if we provide basic supports for everyone that "too many" people would not move beyond basics? That really seems unlikely.
What's interesting here is that the use of pen names is heavily policed in the publishing culture/industry. Some can use one, some can't, you will/will not get published if you follow the policy, and so on.
Less ideas on the marketplace of knowledge, and it is called tolerance.
I am disgusted by the fellow humans who advocate for this.

I'm not sure what you were looking for in the article but from the title it seems clear that Ishiguro has shared his views on something he sees as a problem, not that he's going to quote statistics and exact data at us. You disliking people that don't agree with cancel culture doesn't invalidate their opinion, or make it "click bait".
Sure. I didn't mean that as in actually zero cases. I mean, go to Portland and then go to Oslo. Go to Philly and then go to Copenhagen. The difference is night-and-day.

> Code purity isn't just for you, it's also for the compiler to be able to make assumptions about the code in order to apply optimizations

Yes, and purity is also for your collaborators (including your future self) who didn't write the code so don't understand it as well as you do.
Both Intel's oneAPI and AMDs ROCm/HIP stacks success are obviously tied to (and part of) the success of each companies future products. And today I'd bet AMD will come off better. They have multiple contracts for HPC systems with their future GPU products as well as an existing presence in consumer gaming products.

Intel's effort seem to be banking on the Aroura system at ANL. Beyond that I don't know who's lining up to by Xe GPUs? Though I guess oneAPI will fit into whatever they do further down the line.

Putting aside the fact the worst examples of "Cancel Culture" are an amplified, tiny number of edge cases, given fuel by those who wish to attack fairly reasonable requests to marginalise hate speech.
Ishiguro makes a good point a skilled writer can write from the perspective of someone very different from them. Not that many people are actually arguing against that. What was of concern is the perspectives of marginalised people being written in a cliched and harmful way by people who have no understanding of their lives. Or because they have an agenda of portraying those people in a negative way. Understanding built on accurate and intelligent writing is great but I'm not going to read stuff that has an agenda to caricature and attack.
