At this point most of us don’t really need as much news as we consume, especially not the kind of “news” that gets created today.

For most of us, news isn’t that different from an HN or YouTube or TikTok rabbit hole, a compulsive outlet for us to waste time in, having little practical impact on our real lives. Certainly not enough to pay for, if we were forced. We would just move to TikTok instead
Generative something. Not sure about the art part.

Art is beautiful, timeless and has something to say.
If I were in a different place, I would ask for the job.

You should ask around.

Assembly language itself is not hard. At least not on those smaller 8 bit Moto chips.

What needs to happen is your father's notes, hopefully code comments, math, etc. and how that maps to the problem space needs to be recorded.

Others can write the code. Frankly, you can likely do that given a little time.

8 bit assembly is both fun and a niche skill. Tons of people write it for fun these days, myself included.

There is probably someone near you who knows this stuff from the retro computing scene.
Nah, too perfect. Must be bait.

"Imagine the compliance" with the "WEF" background behind him.

Conspiracy theorists can't keep up with the Illuminati anymore. It's hard to expose the nefarious plans for world domination when they've got their entire media complex trumpeting them.
To further complicate matters, different fields of work have different optimal working styles/cycles as well.

I did some very physical seasonal work for about a decade where most of us would work about 3 months of the year, very intensely. After years of experimentation, the boss of the finest company in this industry figured out that a 3 day on, 1 day off cycle worked best for productivity and morale. This cycle gave everyone a chance to rest and recover from the athletic level of physical labour.

It was really interesting to step out of a 7 day week and into this 4 day cycle every year.
It took me some time to get a good grasp of the power of SQL; and it really kicked in when I learned about optimization rules. A query is a program that you rewrite, just like an optimizing compiler would.

You state what you want; then you have different ways to fetch and match and massage data; and you can search through this space to produce a physical plan. Hopefully you used knowledge to weight parts to be optimized (table statistics, like Java's JIT would detect hot spots).

I find it fascinating to peer through database code to see what is going on. Lately, there's been new advances towards streaming databases, which bring a whole new design space. For example, now you have latency of individual new rows to optimize for, as opposed to batch it whole to optimize the latency of a dataset. Batch scanning will be benefit from better use of your CPU caches.

And maybe you could have a hybrid system which reads history from a log and aggregates in a batched manner, and then switches to a stream-optimized execution plan when it reaches the end of the log.

If you want to have a peek at that here are Flink's set of rules [1], generic and stream-specific ones. The names can be cryptic, but usually give a good sense of what is going on. For example: PushFilterIntoTableSourceScanRule makes the WHERE clause apply the earliest possible, to save some CPU/network bandwidth further down. PushPartitionIntoTableSourceScanRule tries to make a fan-out/shuffle happen the earliest possible, so that parallelism can be made use of.

"When asked for a PIN, use 1111."

Me: "Isn't the PIN meant to be there for security?"
In this context, "legitimately" means "truthfully" not "rightfully."

Edit: to clarify, the adverb "legitimately" modifies the verb "have been" in this context. You can tell because it is immediately before "have been." If I had said "he was legitimately asleep" that would mean that there was legitimate reason for him to be asleep, because the adverb "legitimately" was attached to the word "asleep." The phrase "he legitimately is asleep" says nothing about the legitimacy of the sleep, but emphasizes the legitimacy of the "is" (as in, he was so asleep that he wouldn't notice his car beeping at him to wake him up).
> Costs a couple thousand dollars

Why such scaling with the size? Pure greed? The guy has mostly to push a button..
At least they measured, so that's immediately at least a B+. It is of course often hard to know whether anybody actually measured before doing their work or only afterwards to justify it but we should give benefit of the doubt.

Not everything you tried is going to be worth explaining, and I get that their whole plan here is "forcibly inline this" so in C, where the compiler won't necessarily get your memo, it seems reasonable to explicitly say so.
It's not quite the same. If you are going to use aviation as an example, also consider that in Airbus planes the autopilot takes precedence and overrides pilot input to maintain a safe flight envelope.

Fighters with FBW like the raptor can't be over G'd because FBW takes precedence over pilot input.
Its just too expensive for the value that I personally would receive. If I could get a yearly sub to nyt for $25, I would do it in a heartbeat. I don't want some price for the first year, and then it balloons up 4x.
Carbon nanotubes are known to cause lung tumors.

Pure carbon really isn't something that a lot of organisms ever encounter.
Here in this subthread, we're talking about the right to a speedy criminal trial.

Speedy civil trials are not a constitutional right. (Though, when it comes to forfeiture, the long timelines are one of many problematic aspects).
All it did was shift who got to collect everything. The amount of surveillance done by ad tech is not good. Google being the central and sole entity doing the same surveillance is probably even less good.

And as a user, I hated using AMP pages for UX reasons as well.
Frankly the shovel salesmen were relatively small time, since some miners brought their own, some quit and sold theirs (whether bought or brought), and some shovels were, um, just found lying around, "Goodness, whatever could have happened to that poor miner?"

The real money was in services (brothels, gambling, baths) and consumables (food, booze).
I have been sailing 9 weeks non-stop from Ushuaia to Lisboa. No emails, phones, newspapers, books and the only laptop on board (for watching movies) got broken... It has been rough seas around Cape Horn but pretty smooth sailing later... Watching sunrise and sunsets, stars, clouds etc.

The things that had started coming to my mind - like things long forgotten or put away and now coming back as fresh memories...

Very interesting experience...

Riding a motobike for long hours in mountains (Thailand or Laos or Flores) - similar experience. Your are immersed in the landscape, in the moment. Focused on the road but on the other hand your mind is wandering free...

I have been to couple meditation retreats or monasteries as well. But that's a bit different....
I do a lot of this too. The worst is when the company I work for tries to prevent this from happening. I seem to -need- that time to "gear up" as you say. I also find it very rewarding to help my colleagues with these types of quick issues, as it often prevents issues from ballooning, encourages collaboration and builds trust.

When they force me into "developer timeout" and effectively isolate me, I just sit there struggling for the first half of the day anyway.
Two things being false can be quite pleasant, but making the empty list nil isn't worth it.

Lua gets this right, `nil` is the Ground State of Being, you get it back in lieu of a value any time you try to find one.

This requires also having a `false` because logical conditions have to be streamed sometimes and you can't transport a key with a nil value by definition.

But an empty list/table being 'false' is convenient right until it isn't. It's a kludge.
Outside of this site, I wouldn't consume news for free, and still wouldn't if you paid me. The news is all about the consensus account of what the canonical global social hierarchy supposedly is. No thanks.
These have been changed, but at different times...

- It was required to show up in the carousel

- It injected a banner at the top of your content that pushed your content down. The banner featured an "[X]" button that seemed like it might dismiss it, but it sent you back to Google instead

- The real url was deliberately hidden, and initially not even an actual link, but just text.

- It hijacked swipe events to navigate to competitor pages, and hijacked the back button in certain cases also

And, the AMP spec still requires loading a piece of google controlled javascript onto your page...that does whatever it wants.

What's not to hate? At one time, it was basically a protection racket. "Use this objectionable thing, or your organic traffic will drop".
> as it is a source of many bugs

Citation needed.

I worked with two languages that have exactly this same behavior (Clojure and Ruby), and both of them this is not the source of any bug that I can remember [1].

Also, I would argue that Clojure as a language is much more ergonomic thanks to `nil` being `falsey`, so this is all about the trade-offs between safety and ergonomics. Considering that, IMO, Clojure without nil being falsey would lose much more than Clojure being a more safe language, I really don't seem much problem.

[1]: well, there is one, where one of our internal tooling had this function called `assoc-if` that it would assoc a key to a map if truthy, however this also meant that when the key was of boolean type and false we would also not assoc this; but we eventually introduced `assoc-some` that does what you expect.
it's reportedly because the analysis uses indirect statistical inference. I read the whitepaper and I'm not convinced by their statistical analysis but they did uncover some interesting results.
Here's an idea: "roller coaster week"

Monday: 4 hours
Tuesday: 6 hours
Wednesday: 10 hours
Thursday: 6 hours
Friday: 4 hours

total: 30 hours

How it works:

- Monday: The second half of your day is work. Your morning is open to sleep in, get chores done, run errands, eat brunch with friends. Second half of the day should be meetings to plan the work for the week, and catch up from the previous week.

- Tuesday: Very few meetings, planning and gathering items to work on for Wednesday.

- Wednesday: Heads-down work, no meetings allowed, period. Turn off all communcation; this is "productivity day". You've had 2 days to get your "mise en place", and now you have 10 hours uninterrupted to churn away.

- Thursday: Shorter day than wednesday, wrapping up what you didn't finish.

- Friday: The first half of the day is work. Meetings to recap the week, complete any last minute details, documentation. Second half of the day enables you to get more errands done or get an early start to your weekend.

The time you save allows you to rest your brain, ruminate, get more sleep, exercise, pursue a hobby. This rest time recharges your brain to enable it to do more work when you are working. The roller-coaster nature makes you think the week is pretty easy most of the time, but you know you've prepared for the hard part and can tackle it in one go. Because of the forced planning and dedicated work time, you'll be more productive than if you only got drips and drabs of interrupted work done for 5 days.
Is California giving its methane digesters too much credit?
Colloquially, “nil” and “zero” are the same thing. Presumably not the case in clojure.
At my first job I wrote a bunch of AVR assembly because C was too slow for what I needed it to do. I believe the application was having the microcontroller do some measurements of sound propagation through a medium that was much denser than air, and thus it needed to wake up nearly immediately after the sound happened. By the time whatever initialization the C code did was done, it was too late. Assembly did the job superbly.

This was not that long ago, around 15 years ago. I really enjoyed AVR assembly. Are these microcontrollers still in use nowadays?

I'm conflicted on this.

For me personally, I'm reluctant to pay because the value < cost. On the other hand, I acknowledge how important a strong, independent press is so I want to pay something.

Then I remember how difficult most news orgs make it to unsubscribe and so about the only thing I'm willing to subscribe to is Apple News because I can start and stop with a click. No retention shenanigans, no emails.

Also own a Tesla and use Autopilot regularly.

Maps will always lag reality; I don’t think that it’s reasonable to expect Tesla maps to have perfect accuracy.

The bottom line is, the car is NOT self-driving. If you’re behind the wheel, you’re driving and you’re responsible, just like any other car.

You love it now. If it gains acceptance the results of the increasing centralization and control being given to google and cloudflare will bite you in the medium term. A few megacorps in control will go bad much faster and more completely than tens of thousands of independent human and corporate persons.

Yes, "publishers" (corporations) do want to do things that are bad for human persons. But guess what? So do the mega-publishers like google and cloudflare.
This article reads like it was written by an alien who is encountering human society for the first time.
Because publishers don’t know the difference between news and noise. Most long-form articles can be summarized in 1-5 bullet points when all the fluff is removed.

I used to have an app that curated topics into short summaries. It was curated by humans but they failed to monetize and shut down.
It depends on exactly what iteration of Autopilot he was using. I'm not sure how old this case is. Early on it was little more than traffic-aware cruise control with lane holding. If that's what he was using then it has no knowledge of traffic lights or anything else and it was a 50/50 chance when you hit an exit if it would take the exit or stay in lane once it lost lane lines.

There's lots of things the media has called Autopilot.

It will be an absolute relief to the elderly/near-elderly poor, for starters.

Like the woman I saw in the grocery store a few weeks ago on the verge of tears because the cheapest cooking oil available was 6 EUR/750ml bottle organic canola oil, and that’s still often the case.

Inflation in Germany is every bit as bad as it is in the US, so this is also a bit of a welfare payment to all the people who take public transit anyway because they can’t afford to drive.

I’m 100% for this, by the way; it’s an excellent use of my tax Euros. It will probably make the U-Bahn less pleasant for me, but that’s ok.
A few years ago they already did some smaller-scale experiments in a few cities regarding fares and service offerings and the conclusion was clearly that better service was more effective in attracting additional passengers.

Also according to https://www.science.lu/de/faktencheck-gratis-oepnv/was-bring..., while some smaller cities who have experimented with free public transport have seen substantial increases in passenger numbers (but still often only a limited number of conversions from car drivers), the biggest city that tried this so far (Tallinn) only saw an increase in passenger numbers of 8 %. In the recent case of Luxembourg, unfortunately the effects of Covid make it rather difficult to draw any valid conclusions.

While I am not opposed to some moderate fare reductions, it should be kept in mind that in Germany, the average farebox recovery ration for local and regional public transport before Covid was around 75 %. Making public transport completely free would therefore mean quadrupling operating subsidies – and if through some miracle politics was really committed to spend that much more and for the long term, I'd much rather see the majority of that amount being spend on better services.
Yup. Dermatologists are big into this too.

My wife gets to visit them a lot due to a skin cancer episode, and her former practice was swallowed up by some private equity dermatology group. I learned about their operations via a case study published one of their vendors - a commission/incentive management software platform. Up to 70% of provider pay is about pushing magic goop for your face.
> the quality has definitely gone downhill lately.

I can't agree.

This video from a few weeks ago about the W Boson mass discrepancy is about as deep as a lay audience can hope to surmount:

You can also just use an RSS reader, to solve many of these problems for you.

In addition:

> Harder for publishers to run own code and track you and run more analytics? Awesome.

Now it's just Google who tracks you.

> Harder for publishers to embed ads? Great.

Not for Google.

They would also automatically log you in if you visit an AMP page.

Make no mistake, this was just an attempt of control. The much more reasonable alternative to incentivize higher performance and less bloat, but let publishers decide how to achieve that. Lighthouse helps to some degree.
I disagree - presence/absence allows reuse of clear and terse operators, reduces the need for an extra null coalescence operator when logical or can do the job as well, and enables better developer experience in places like options hashes where "not set" always means the same thing as "false".
This doesn't seem to be responsive to the point made by the GP: if the owner is in another country, perhaps one that doesn't have extradition to the U.S., then there's not going to be a trial. The U.S. doesn't have in absentia trials except in extraordinary circumstances like a defendant fleeing the country mid-trial.

speaking of uber and such what happens when you have a virtual monopoly on a wildly unprofitable business model during a recession.

In NYC, noise laws and listening tech gets deployed to curtail noise.

In China (e.g. Shanghai), they simply banned combustion motorcycles from the city. Visited years ago and it was pretty interesting to experience.
I especially enjoy how this ties one of the most expensive products by weight (graphene) to one of the least (concrete). There is no greater tease for investors than suggesting that your knew tech might one day be an ingredient in concrete or steel.
I love SpaceTime, thanks for the suggestion. As a non-physicist - I realized the details are a bit too much and I care more about the higher level.
Maybe I trust people too much, but I feel people will find and make their own opportunities to collaborate if they feel like collaboration is required to complete their tasks.

If you're maximizing "opportunities to collaborate" you're probably taking their attention from their work unnecessarily.
I always cancel when the year is up. They ALWAYS offer you the $2 per month version again.
Good points but I’d argue we’re nowhere near a strong, independent press. And I doubt a few bucks is going to make the difference.
They do exist. Does your handheld box switch up to 48 kw under load?

Because that’s the typical rating for a new residence in most areas in the US (200 amp x 240 volt).

Is your handheld device rated to last 20+ years in an outdoor environment?

Because that’s what you’d need.

But don’t worry, just the switch itself is only about $700-800 without labor, installation, or maintenance - [https://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com/Generac-RXSW200A3/p...]

Add in all the other stuff and an extra couple thousand to the cost of the solar installation is why it isn’t as common. Because most people don’t care enough to pay the extra amount. Some do.

If you wanted it enough to pay the extra, most electricians wouldn’t mind adding it in I’m sure.

That's always been the primary use case, if we're being honest.
It would mean they had ownership of the building transferred to them.

For reference gas in the USA costs between $5.60 (mostly in California) and $3.60 per gallon. (According to GasBuddy.com)
The internet exists. Why should I pay people to bring me curated information from every corner of the globe, when there are many others doing so for free, and the tools to do so myself are within my grasp? Issues of trust and media complicity also exist, but these are just as much symptoms of the first situation as causes.

For me, I am migrating away from content management systems (like ghost.org) for blogs that I put together at https://www.whiteowleducation.com . I want to create really custom blogs in React, but the challenge is being able to do this in a way where the blog can be generated quickly.
The “umpteen rules”, I presume, are the ones for all the languages you know and use, not just Clojure or what have you. I would wager most people don’t work in a single language bubble.

It’s a bit optimistic that we’d ever have most languages working under the same rules though, no matter how sane it is and how dubious the value of falseyness (and the terseness you can get from it) is.
The weirdest thing about AMP is that it requires google JS on your website.

If they got rid of that, I would be totally for it
I'm a tall man with large hands and my S10 is uncomfortable. Just ordered an iPhone 13 mini after finding out that the Pixel 6a, my last hope for a small Android phone, will be big. This will be my first iOS phone despite 10+ years on Android. The situation is idiotic.
It's interesting. When I was younger (and more active as an amateur astronomer) we used a homemade blink comparator to hunt for asteroids/minor planets, which works on this same principle. Do you have the source links for these to determine how much time elapsed between these two images? There is actually another movement in this same image (about 80% down from the top and just to the right of center there is a trio of stars... the rightmost one in the trio moves down and to the left in the higher res photo). Depending on the amount of time between these two images, could be parallax/motion from a much closer star, could be an asteroid or similar object, could be data anomaly, could be lots of things. One thing I know, however... that's no moon.
It's not quite that simple though. "autopilot" is a blah term, but it's also not possible to say whether or not it has saved lives with auto-avoidance and braking. The hard truth is that for things to get better, they need billions of miles of testing, and you can't do that in a lab.
lets just drop the pretense of even using that phrase

To me it is disqualifying for those analyses being taken seriously. If you are claiming that you are doing no interpretation and others are, that just not credible within the law. Of COURSE they are interpreting - that's literally the job. The idea that you aren't interpreting and instead are only divining what others meant is so incredible that it needs to stop being repeated.

Stop repeating the propaganda because it just normalizes a ridiculous phrase.
