I started this thread with an honest personal observation. Your responses are really inappropriate and based on flawed reasoning. You say I'm generalizing because I only observed a small cohort of kids and yet your counterexample is just yourself? And that we should resist change because it's good to be spiteful? You've basically set the goal posts as being "whatever feels right to me" which makes for a pretty pointless debate.

Hey everyone!

I'm James, aka @jbrooksuk. For over a year I've been working on Checkmango, a full stack A/B testing platform.

I started working on it after I left my old role at an online travel agency. We wanted to do A/B testing, but any meaningful platform was costing several £k a month.

Checkmango is my attempt to fill a gap in the market of small — medium sized businesses that want to do A/B testing.

Everything is API based and you can check out the API docs at https://developers.checkmango.com (thanks to Bump.sh for hosting the OpenAPI spec).

What's interesting is, very often, "for security reasons" is a complete BS kludge to say "we don't want to implement this." I normally wouldn't expect that sort of thing from Linux folk...perhaps until now.
... for functional programming languages, I suppose.
is this richard hendricks?
I think that is mostly correct, but the union is also prohibited from striking until such time as the contract expires, so in this instance it doesn't matter if its a 'wildcat' action or not, its prohibited under their current agreement.
One "scam" that I realise HP is pulling: my OfficeJet 8710 printer seems to be cleaning its print heads every time it's turned on.

I've gotten "please replace ink cartridges" messages when I've never even printed a single page since I replaced the previous cartridge — since I use the printer mostly for its ADF scanning function.

Well, that's ~$100 I'll never get back.

It's sad that the industry has moved in this direction.

Don't get me wrong, it's an incredible feat, and seems to handily beat the other automagic interpolators (eg, 3:49 in the video at the bottom of TFA) in terms of minimizing "pop-in", but it's still clearly present in dentition.

Every country has unsavoury elements within it, but attacking a country with a Jewish president for being fascist, because there are a few thousand racists in the south, is bullshit. Especially when you're at the same time busily funding and promoting fascist and racist groups all over Europe and the US, as Russia has been.
I tried this with a Brother HL-L23200 printer and an old raspberry pi, and couldn't get it to work. Seemed like something in the stack was OOM'ing - it worked fine for just a page or two, but when I tried to print a longer document it would crap out. I gave up and now on the rare occasion when I need to print something I carry my laptop over and physically plug in the USB cord like a neanderthal.
For a short while, I worked on office Xerox printers and scanners. They weren't particularly scammy, though they were expensive and the consumables were pricey.

Home printers, yeah the ink is expensive. You're mostly paying for convenience. I don't print photos at home, we order prints online and they're mailed to us, very cheap and easy.

What I print at home is strictly things I need to sign and bring to someone (or sign and scan/email). For that purpose, they work fine. I don't mind paying the price for ink, it lasts for a couple years before I need a new cartridge. I like the fact that I can still go to an actual store and buy ink for my printer if I need it on short notice.
The Myth of Incremental Progress
Building a reputation takes years, destroying it takes minutes. Hundred fold for public persons.

Apologizing would help, for example.
I need to refill the toner in my home laser printer. I looked at some of the clone cartridges on Amazon etc and >90% of the reviews are of the form, "The cartridges arrived broken, but the seller gave me a full refund! Five stars, excellent service." Like, every single review. So either they're really shoddy and these people are extraordinarily forgiving, or they're buying reviews trying to alleviate worries from people who read reports like yours.

> Memorizing how your layers are configured is nbd

Ymmv; I have difficulty remembering the chords for keys I use once a week or once a month.
Which also means you're printing frequently enough to be worth the maintenance hassles. Less frequently, you're better off sending out to a service (says guy who still has a pile of wet darkroom stuff).
Pick up a Brother color laser. They are one of the least hostile to their customers, and their prices are reasonable. Buy new if you have to, but if you can find one a few years old in good condition, I find their older models to be the most reliable and least scammy...
Yes! Credit to Trailforks for doing this, btw - 10 day free trial which I assumed was the usual nonsense but they're actually 10 days of non-contiguous use.
Just to be clear, I don't pass any judgement about forcing overtime / forbidding strikes. I also think those are bad practices, and I'm pretty sure both are not legal in my country (in which most labor advances were a hard-won battle involving strikes, the country is famous for its strikes, you can probably guess it already).

I just tried to figure out the actual situation in a way that would actually make sense, assuming everyone involved was reasonable and tried to abid by the law.
You can use this great-but-also-terrible system to do X509 certificate validation with SSH: https://github.com/mjg59/ssh_pki Maybe after some deeper security analysis this idea could help you work around the limitations of Yubikey's hardware.

Now that it's on the front page of HN, I imagine it'll get sorted out shortly.
"Given that some of these powerful set theoretic axioms are independent from each other, I'm not sure whether ZFC+CH could have a different idea about BB(8000) than ZFC+notCH would."

It can not. The TMs can only be affected by things that affect them at a finite level. To put it another way that may be easier to see, for them to have a different idea about a given BB number, there must be two otherwise identical machines facing their decision about what state to transfer into, but the one armed with the CH must choose one state and one without it must choose another. (There must always be some such first state, even if it is the very first transition.) There's nowhere to encode that inside a TM state transition table.

That is the "outside" mechanics of a TM, which are fully defined by the problem itself. The "inner" mechanics of a TM, where we talk about what the machine is "really doing", may have such effects, but that's a bit more mundane. And not even necessarily relevant; while you may have two machines, one with ZFC+CH and one with ZFC without CH, they're both going to be hammered by a machine doing "something" that definitely isn't just running a clearly-defined axiomatic system over propositions, but something "mixed up" beyond all human understanding.

What can affect the BB number is oracles. This is also in some sense "why" oracles are defined as essentially function calls that TMs can make with a sort of equivalent of a system call operation that user space code can use to invoke a kernel's functionality... you can easily encode that into a single finite state transfer. BB relative to an external oracle can be (and is) different than conventional BB. However, while the numbers are larger... much, much, much (etc.) larger... I think in some sense it's also less mathematically interesting and returns to just being "yet another large number generator"; BB is interesting precisely as the boundary between computability and non-computability, and BB+oracle is just straight-up uncomputable. But that's not that interesting, really; there's an infinite number of already-uncomputable functions anyhow.

> People usually strike for better pay or conditions.

I'm not following. What is your argument for why this is an effective strategy but employees only use it when they feel bad?

It is more likely people always use the most effective strategies they have available to them. I want better pay and conditions right now, I don't care how good they are when I'm negotiating. I'm not trying to spare my employers feelings here, I quite like money. If striking works as a bargaining tool, we'd see it working for people who are economically effective too. My peers are more than capable of organising to strike if we thought that might get us an edge. I'm pretty cynical, I could make it happen.

> It's easy to sneer at "a few crumbs" if you're in a state of privileged wealth. Sometimes small differences in pay can mean going from not being able to pay rent to having some disposable income. And, often, it's not "a few crumbs".

I'm just saying, I'm not avoiding their tactics because I'm snobby. I'm avoiding them because I like money and the strategy may well lock in generational not-having-much-money. The proof is in the pudding for this one, people who plan on striking aren't the people who do well economically.

> What did you have in mind? How does investing in capital help you with not being paid well enough to invest?

If there are enough people for a strike that doesn't get laughed at, there are enough people to start investing in a better future rather than fighting and getting nowhere. Especially if they put their minds to making the future better rather than how to make life difficult for the employers.

Impact of AI on the art world (Sci-Fi comic)
Just an anecdote: my grandfather passed away a few years ago and he was always into new technology. After he passed when we were cleaning up his home we found no fewer than 11 inkjet printers in his basement.

Every time one stopped working (probably ran out of ink, or printed poorly because of long delays between printing) he would go to Best Buy, get talked up by a salesperson about a nice new printer, and buy it.

It's just incredible to see this story in action.
Playing with the prompt-only demo at https://huggingface.co/spaces/stabilityai/stable-diffusion I got the impression that many apparently harmless requests corner the model into a very sparse set of examples exhibiting extreme bias and utter nonsense. For example (seed 0, other advanced options at default values):

Blue hamsters filling donuts with nails

mostly edible donuts and quasi-donuts; some blue, but no hamsters and no nails.

purple hamsters in free fall, eating gold nuggets

no free fall, some purple objects and backgrounds, somewhat metallic hamster hair, a five-limbed black and white hamster, credible gold nuggets without rodents, eating hamsters without food, multiple almost identical instances of eyeless white and yellow hamsters in the same pose.

Martian hamsters wrestling

generic reddish hamsters, not wrestling at all.

a hamster is the CEO of a financially struggling startup, in San Francisco

remarkably standard hamsters, in somewhat office-like environments (wooden tables and harsh light), with curiously unbalanced camera angles that might be random or inspired by the source material.

the most beautiful hamster in the world, parading on a toy car and wearing sunglasses

No complete pair of sunglasses, but an interesting hybrid between round black lenses and round black hamster eyes; unusually deformed hamsters; an incoherent furry thing with a plastic part floating in the air; a deformed toy car with its back nicely replaced by a hamster.

Vampire hamsters feeding on unsuspecting tourists in a dirty alley

No vampirism and no tourists, but nice dirty alleys.

I insisted on hamsters because they are usually photographed in very few poses and activities, leading to completely ignored indications.

Zigzagging through a forest fully autonomously (with no GPS) - there are videos on YouTube of a Swiss company doing similar. [https://youtu.be/m89bNn6RFoQ]

And here is a dude flying a DJI Inspire (not the same as above) carrying 5 lbs. [https://youtu.be/DKr-yj68VJs]

Folks have been using those and similar (cheaper) drones to drop Grenades on tanks in Ukraine.

As the autonomous flight is harder with smaller drones (less computing payload available, worse sensors), the only reason you’re not seeing both of these parts together in urban environment is the implication (for national security). It is there.

I ran a special session of Dread for Halloween a few years ago. We typically play D&D but for the season, I wanted to mix it up. The thing is, I set the Dread game in the same setting as our D&D game, and the players got to experience what it was like to NOT be the big damn heroes for once, instead getting to run for their lives.

Would recommend!
If the task of automating something is complex, that might indicate that the process itself is complex. If that's true, then it might be worth automating anyway, because it would eliminate the error-prone parts of the manual process and give you a better end-to-end understanding of all the steps and how it all fits together.
I'm on Debian because Guix's attitude to firmware is worse.

Really? Every second company I seem to hear about is literally saving the planet from global warming, valiantly defending and saving the weak and oppressed, battling bigotry, bringing truth and enlightenment to the world, all sorts of wild hypocrisy and lies.

Musk claims to be worried about the earth becoming uninhabitable and has the goal of starting a colony on Mars to mitigate that risk. Do you think that's just a lie he's telling to somehow get richer? That he doesn't really have that concern or aim? What's the scam here?

Sure he is over-optimistic and hypes is products and over-promises. When it comes to rockets, so does NASA, Boeing, ULA, Aerojet Rocketdyne, Northrop Grumman, Blue Origin, Arianespace... well probably most of them. When it comes to electric or autonomous cars, so does GM, Ford, Toyota, VW, Uber... also probably most of them.

I saw the quote attributed to a book they wrote back in the late 90s as well, but I'm not sure how accurate the attribution is...

This might be a popular notion in privileged white western high schools, but the transformation in eastern EU countries has been breathtaking.

The poverty divide between east and west Germany was so visibly apparent when you walked across that line. Today, both sides of Berlin are vibrant and thriving. The same can be said in every capital city that has joined the EU. Massive prosperity compared to the Soviet poverty.

As others have said, stick to laser -- and preferably older models. I have a B&W Brother laser from 2007 that still pounds out the pages and needs new toner roughly once a year -- and happily takes aftermarket cartridges without complaint.

You add the intermediate key to config for trust. You do not need authorized_keys files for each user. Good for team and central management and faster key rotation but then needs trusted intermediate authority which is secure. No password or key rotation on machine itself which is good if you have a lot of machines.
Actually "refusing to work overtime is considered to be a strike" is certainly not boring from my point of view. I would have expected it to go the other way, i.e. "refusing to work overtime is not considered to be a strike".

But yes, I'm not a media reporter, I'd probably suck at it.

By the way, if someone have a link to the court decision, it should be interesting to read. It was not linked in the article.

Your post drips of some odd dislike for Stephen King.

Either way I'm out. I think I'll go read The Long Walk again.
