probably the most important thing here. One press in the settings app vs calling some retention person that tries to keep you paying or something that can only be cancelled via fax or carrier pidgeon

I don't see any fundamental reason a human brain couldn't be simulated at the atomic level by a turing machine, so it follows intelligence should be able to come from a machine, as far as it can come from a human.
It’s a thing. Source: two people I know did a grad program where the school set them up to take out 20% more in loans than needed to cover expenses and they got the 20% in cash at the start of each semester.
I don't know. I really don't like big companies forcing themselves into this. There are already great open source solution ready to be used like IRMA[1], I would love for them to be used instead of Apple or Google becoming even more indispensable.

But you’re not using it? You stated that you don’t even know it was running - clearly you don’t even need a GUI, just CLI.
Coming from a distant background in IT audit for a national accounting firm.

Audit reports like SOX and SSAE 16 that tie back to financial risk can be more staid, because of the legal risk to both the auditor and auditee. Even though it appears to be tied to financial audit, we could still accomplish a lot on the infosec side because of the close relation between infosec failure and significant financial impact. Final reports contained a section specifically for the company's own statements, and a section for the auditor statements that was almost always boilerplate straight from legal. Flourish and marketing were nowhere to be found.

As a former auditor I enjoy reading these reports but I always find myself asking: who are these "auditors" and how are they held accountable, besides not being invited back by the auditee? And: Have I ever seen such a report that concluded the product contained critical exceptions or findings that should discourage consumers from using the product? I can't think of any, maybe someone else can.
Mine should arrive today. I'm excited to get it because I can compare it head-to-head with an identically specced XPS 13 9310 (which I will return, assuming the Framework is good). I'm also excited to see the company doing this. I have concerns about how long the company can sustain itself, but thus far, every bit of communication has been terrific and it is clear they have put lots of care and thought into how they design their products.

And unlike some companies (Purism, cough), their products are shipping at the estimated times.

I really hope they make it and I really hope it encourages other manufacturers to take things like repairability and sustainability more seriously.

I'm not grandparent poster, but depending on who supplies and configures the ID reader, a digital system makes it easier to track people. E.g. if you show your ID at a liquor store, currently the cashier would just check your age and then forget about you. If s/he has a barcode scanner or an Apple ID scanner, then that scanner can log your visits. And your whereabouts can be tracked by following where your ID was scanned throughtout time.

In China, ID cards have RFID and they have to be scanned when entering a train station or airports (or the old town of Lhasa in Tibet), so a future government here might abuse a similar system to track you and maybe harass you by saying "You were in this area yesterday, there was $SOME_BAD_EVENT, what's your alibi?". China also implements long distance travel bans by refusing you entry to the train station/airport, e.g. if you have a bad "social score", which, I imagine would be ripe for abuse in a Trumpian regime. (Although the FBI already abused the no-fly list for the purposes of harassing individuals)
Peter F Hamilton has entered the chat. He has great plots, but they’re buried under so much unnecessary detail, reading his books is like an archaeological dig. Unless you really want to know in excruciating detail what every character, no matter how minor, had for breakfast.
It’s taken us nearly 20 years to even implement Real ID. I don’t think the US has the institutional knowledge to build a national ID system without a multi-decade effort.
Doesn't EEE also fall under the essential software freedoms?
Ah well. If the government said it then I'm not concerned.
Any time I read about how some part of the body has no function, I try to remember that our understanding of the body is superficial at best, it was only a 100 years ago when getting your blood sucked by leeches was the standard of care for many conditions. Mother's milk was supposed to contain useless and indigestble substances till it turns out they were important for developing the baby's gut microbiota. Entire organs such as the thymus were considered useless and then we began to understand the critical role they play in our immune systems. Once we consider that even critical muscles waste and atrophy unless used, we have to understand that whatever we retain in our bodies must be absolutely critical to its long-term survival, and there is no such thing as a "junk" component.
You still need to Face/Touch ID for Wallet, as you already do.

It won’t unlock your device as well, is their point. Just like Wallet currently operates.

> Biometric authentication using Face ID and Touch ID ensures that only the person who added the ID to the device can view or present their ID or license in Wallet.
Why does the title mention "Neural net"? The words do not appear on the linked page.

Actual paper behind paywall: https://pubsonline.informs.org/doi/pdf/10.1287/mksc.2021.129...

Since restaurants and not individual waitstaff were reviewed, it is not possible to say whether workers became more motivated or restaurants laid off/reduced the hours of marginal workers.

The following is a stretch:

> “Our data show that, for a particular class of restaurants, consumers benefit from an increase in [minimum] wage because employees are motivated and owners are motivated to provide better service,” Kadiyali said. “The discussion around minimum wage has been all around how prices will go up, and consumers will be worse off. But we find, in our research, that consumers are happier with the overall quality.”

The subset of consumers that might benefit is the subset who still do go to these restaurants. Plus, while a given interaction might have become more pleasant, the number of restaurant experiences is not necessarily constant between pre-/post- minimum wage increase or it is not necessarily the same people as before getting the benefit of more pleasant service.

This is all assuming the press release correctly describes the paper.
Banks are already very strictly regulated; I am not sure how they could be better regulated. Also, many of the regulations have more to do with ensuring complete taxation than helping account holders (as the government wants its money). Do you have any specific ideas? Perhaps there should be fewer requirements, but with more accountability?
There are pianos with other widths, but it helps to have a standard so that you know that your instrument can be used to play any score.

As for the 88 keys, Steinway once produced a grand piano with that many keys and after that other manufacturers copied this and it became the standard.

But before then the Harpsichord was mostly standardized around 60 keys (which is why you can play most of Bach on a 61 key keyboard just fine, and why many organ keyboards are only 61 keys or sometimes even less wide).

There are also larger keyboards, for instance the Bosendorfer Imperial has 97 keys, there is also a 92 key model.

And narrower pianos exist(ed) as well, very rarely you'll see these with anywhere from 64 keys and up.

So it's like many other things in music, a combination of practicality, standardization, fashion, price/economy, but not necessarily any underlying hard logic as to why it should be that way.

Just excuses for data collection and more surveillance.
No system will be perfect, but it’s not obvious how your story indicates this has anything to do with immigration still. All that’s been said is there are additional problems with dispute resolution.
I don’t know, the article says people today are just ignoring “the data”, but you can make “the data” support almost any story you want.

You can (as this article does) point to crime statistics and say “see look, black people commit more crimes that’s why they are arrested by the police more”. Or you can say “look, the police are more likely to arrest black people even for minor offenses, which accounts for a difference in arrest statistics.” Same data, different story.

I also take issue with how some of the data in the article is presented. It claims with certainty that exactly 17 unarmed black men were killed by the police last year, but data on police shootings are notoriously unreliable. The article doesn’t even address this issue.
This happened at my last company, but with Slack. It was a real pain at times.
Given the title, it's reasonable to assume that it's saying that suppressing right leaning people is good and needs to go further. This theory is further supported by the context, i.e. other statements by Mozilla as an organization, and it's leader in particular.
Good piece. Been getting familiar with Codex, so much of the success depends on quality of the input (prompt)... No surprise...garbage in, garbage out holds true here as you might expect...although it gets more interesting when you start pulling the temperature lever which controls the randomness/creativity of the model as this can actually figure out the intent from a poor input but the results are then much harder to reproduce. Fascinating stuff.
Meson is amazing. I find that when I bootstrap with it, I write actual code than a wrestling match getting what I need set. I recently discovered it’d ability to wrap cmake subprojects with the cmake module. It just works, and opens up a neat way to mix in packages from the cmake ecosystem instead of relying on pkg-config (or as a fallback).
No, no, a thousand times, no.

This is easily one of the most troubling takes I've read on the web in ages, and that's saying something. If Microsoft buys them that would be the beginning of the end for everything great about Framework.

It's not like something has prevented laptop manufacturers from making hardware that isn't hostile to the user.

Anyway, if you want others to make a laptop like this, Apple would need to make one first.

I hope Framework remains wholly independent and continues to do what they're doing for a very long time, only with more resources and the stability that can buy.
Develop a Go App with Docker Compose
It doesn't come with PURPOSE unless you force it to have some. Which is a perfectly fine avenue to take, I think. But without purpose, what you get is hallucinatory mockeries of meaning: trippy, but if it was consciousness you'd be looking for severe organic damage.

Purpose doesn't automatically mean civilized, but you can't get to civilized without purpose. It's an okay word to use for outlining what's missing.

AI output is increasingly coherent but MEANINGLESS. If you want to look to meaning and purpose, a better place to look might be emergent behaviors of the YouTube Algorithm, or Facebook feed.

Those can easily take toxic swings because they're operating in the absence of a higher sense of what will happen: they're the consciousness of a worm or insect. But they show purpose, where the more coherent and intelligence-like outputs of GPT-3 keep on betraying a lack of meaning.

GPT-3 doesn't WANT anything. There's the problem (though at this stage I think it's just as well). Only that will bring real AI… which can be a daunting prospect.
"Witnesses report hearing noises emanating from the grave of one Aaron Swartz."

I know this conversation has happened numerous times on HN by now, but at times like this I can't help but speak up. Although I have matured over the past decade, no longer the "Ron Paul" libertarian of my college days, and I understand the nuances w.r.t large public platforms facilitating misinformation; there still exists a part in me that pines for the "old Reddit," and laments that all attempts to remake platforms with liberal free-speech policies have come from far-right extremists.
It's a thing yes, but also still fraud.
I'll admit I was a bit too harsh about it. I saw an opportunity to use a Terry Davis quote and took it.

There's nothing wrong with learning, of course. My point was that if you choose to introduce this unnecessary complexity you will likely end up with an unreliable website that alienates some visitors.

Most personal websites are made for the creator themselves more than they are for others, mine included. With computers, you should do what makes you smile. On the other hand, publishing something on the internet opens yourself up to criticism by others. There's definitely a lot of problems with my website, I invite you to write about it.
> For AI researchers to move past the behaviorist conflation of thought and action, the field needs to drink again from the philosophical waters that fed much AI research in the late 20th century, when the field was theoretically rich, albeit technically floundering.

Well, gosh. Fancy a professor of philosophy deciding that AI needs more philosophy. Clearly, if the price of making progress in the field is to engage in all this ugly mathematics and -eww- engineering, then it's no price worth paying.
Sure, but these modules are about half the size of a phone, even all four would be considerably less capacity than a full-size spare.
The inability to find joy in things you normally do, feeling tired all the time, even when there is no reason for it, over an extended period of time, are all red flags for depression requiring intervention.

As far as I've seen, there is no physical (i.e. blood/fluids) test that can detect depression, it is diagnosed based on behaviors and history. A common feeling is that you want to make sense of these feelings by attributing it to a more understandable health issue.

Depending on what your mind ruminates on, it can be impossible to talk to others about what your thinking (as they may be dismissive, or alarmed). That's where you need someone who's qualified to talk to, like a doctor or counselor.

I'm surprised by the amount of criticism of medication in this thread. Although it is by no means a cure, it is an extremely powerful tool that can allow your brain to break out of feedback loops, and give you some control over your emotional regulation.

Reach out to your doctor, and be frank. Tell them exactly how low your feeling, and don't sugar coat it. They'll have questions to ask you. Also note that you can get doctors who are not a right fit. If you feel like your doctor is not helping, or you feel worse off from seeing them, then find a new one.

Depending on the severity, know that you can always push the issue, regardless of what friends/parents/teachers/colleagues tell you. If you are in crisis, call a cab, an emergency line, whatever, to get yourself to a clinic or hospital.

This kind of thing takes time and effort to solve, and you're the only one who knows how, you, personally feel. It's not like a broken bone, or infection, you have to do your best to describe to doctors how you're feeling.
This was a while back, but you could buy anything at our college "bookstore" and it would show up on your bursar bill and be payable by student loans. Worse, it would show up as a charge "Cornell Bookstore" so your parents didn't even know the charges weren't books.

In actuality, the bookstore had not only books but a good 700sqft of CDs (yes, this is a while ago...), clothing, memorabilia, food, junkfood, etc.

You could also have the Bursar disburse cash straight to your account for off-campus rent or food. How you spent it was up to you. Several students I know put it right into the then-roaring late-90s stock market.

Not saying this is the right thing to do, but thats how it was
I'd be very happy to be stuck at his level though.
It's a bit of a stretch to say they haven't decided; one depends on Starship being approved for launch (and working) in the right timeframe, and the other just uses Falcon 9s.

I don't think regulators should force companies to be conservative in unrelated technical development when it doesn't have any material impact on others.
Lenses.io | Fulltime (perm) | Engineering, Product, Sales Engineering, etc | Remote in UK, GR, FR, IT, NL, ES, DE | https://lenses.io/careers/

We have many positions open, mostly for mid and senior positions. If you apply for one in Product or Engineering we will collaborate often. Specifically for SRE / DevOps and 1st level support we will be working together. For all other positions, we will still spend some time together. :)

We are growing the team fast and have exciting things coming up!

Brief company overview:

At Lenses.io we are on a mission to democratize streaming data, helping businesses to operate in real-time.
Our technology allows organizations to practice DataOps, a new way of consuming, processing, and moving data. Our product makes working with cutting-edge open-source technologies more accessible to users and operationalizes them for enterprises. Our customers, who range from household names like Daimler-Benz and Adidas to cloud-native startups, use Lenses to help run their strategic streaming and software applications: think IoT, fraud-detection AI engines, and cutting-edge consumer-facing microservices.

A few words about the positions I know most of:

* At SRE/Platform/DevOps we work mostly on Kubernetes, Docker, Kafka, Helm, Jenkins, Bash, Terraform, ArgoCD and more. Our product is on-prem so our SRE/platform work is more oriented internally and when it comes to devops we also own the release and packaging. Besides expanding the current team, we are building a new team to support a SaaS product which might interest you. It requires strong knowledge of Kafka and Kubernetes.

* There are 1st level technical support positions not yet advertised but feel free to apply for the SRE/DevOps and mention support. We are supporting other engineers and it is a highly technical position, you will have to assist people to setup Lenses and overcome docker, kubernetes, helm, networking, and other issues. It could be your ticket to a devops or platform career.

* Our backend is in Scala and we have an all-star team that is a joy to work with.

* Our frontend is in React (with some angular leftovers) and the team has both highly skilled seniors and junior developers, being a very healthy environment to work and learn.

* Sales engineering is fun at Lenses.io. People love our product which makes your interactions with prospects a joy.
great, pretty much used the same technique. I would re-write lecture notes right after class into 3 or 4 pages, helped solidify the material right away.
I've actually worked with 100+ companies that use labels heavily. It's way more common when you have multiple engineering teams and nobody everybody knows all projects in a cluster. Also, it's common to start with namespace labels which are generally easier to manage.
This is great !

I hope the ACM got the memo, cause i would really like to see them follow suit...
