I mean people definitely didn't buy groceries before cars existed, right? Obviously if your area is an asphalth wasteland where you have to ride miles to get to the closest mall, bicycles won't work well. That's something that can be changed though.

You know that before cars became the de facto mean of private transportation, the streets belonged to the people and kids could freely play outside? That is something we completely forgot, now that we live in post apocalyptic concrete wastelands where simply existing and walking around puts you at danger of being crashed by a vehicle.
As a new user of copilot for the last three months, I can't disagree more. I was initially skeptical, and I have noticed it often produces code that looks good but is wrong. However, it still saves me enough time each day to pay for the monthly subscription - in one day. That's a 30x ROI. I imagine it only gets better from here. I wont go back to programming without it.
> nor is there any evidence

Not counting all those that were not entirely dead, just in some kind of state with reduced breathing and lowered heart rate, where others thought they were dead, but they ultimately revived... testimony, in fact, is a kind of evidence, and very often in a legal court and elsewhere, it is the only kind of evidence that is considered. Indeed, "gospel" itself derives from an Angelo-Saxon word meaning "good telling" or good testimony. Further, testimony is essential in science and cannot be reduced to other sources of justification. Testimony is a essential element of the scientific method, though we usually call it observation.

But I think we must count those that were in fact medically and clinically dead (not breathing with no heartbeat, no life signs), yet were subsequently revived by warming, CPR, defibrillator[1], or through the spontaneous return of normal cardiac rhythm[2], as truly having died and been brought back to life, because, indeed, that is what has occurred countless times.

Your assertion that there is not any evidence of reincarnation is not only unsupportable, it is clearly false on its face, regardless of whether anyone has ever been reincarnated or not. If it is one's belief that it is the case no one has ever been brought back from the dead, one must ignore a mountain of witness testimony and scientific evidence to the contrary.

The very fact that life itself exists in any form is undeniable evidence that, at least once, life was induced from lifelessness, but I suppose that could not be reincarnation, but instead, incarnation (from the Latin incarnare: to make flesh).

Classifier Training with Vector Search
The article sensationalizes the topic by putting "voluntary" in quotes. Per their contract, it's not voluntary if no one volunteers, it is mandatory, and then people are chosen by seniority and classification.

So yes, people are being forced to work overtime, and the article conflating it with "voluntary" is misleading.

Of course, if requiring overtime is to such a point where they are threatening legal action, wouldn't it be easier to hire more people?
In my opinion, the most shady thing about NordVPN is their marketing. There is ALWAYS a "great discount" of about 70% off, and it expires in 9 hours and 39 minutes. Always.

I am a NordVPN customer, but not for privacy, only for access to content in different regions.
> Developers overestimate their mental bandwidth which leads them to pompously build over-complicated tech stacks despite only having archaic tools to mitigate and navigate their complexity.

Spot on. Most engineers don't (and can't) demand a working understanding of the systems they build, and are perfectly happy reverse engineering even their own creations (although we rarely admit so bluntly that this is the case). So, we're primarily a trial and error species, not architects. Alchemists, perhaps?

Tests, which is the only way any moderately sized software holds together, is just a way of automating the trial-and-error process from development. It even kinda works, but is limited by (among other things) the imagination of the test author, which frequently happens to be the business logic author.

Tell HN: HN London Meetup
While browsing the other day I discovered that there used to be a meetup for London based HN readers[1] that appears to have fizzled out when the organiser moved over to America. This type of thing seems to have been relatively wide-spread in tech hubs at the time[2].

To try and rekindle a local HN readers meetup in London, I have arranged a meetup event here: https://www.meetup.com/london-hacker-news-meetup/events/288139501/

If you are in the London area, feel free to come along and say hi!

A legal discovery process is a perfectly reasonable (and common) way to determine if something is legal, and yes, it's completely unsurprising that the exact same outcome might be legal or illegal depending on how it was obtained (or even with what intent the actions were done), legality takes these things into account.
I misspoke. I meant to say photorealistic faces. I haven't seen a good one yet from DALL-E 2 or Stable Diffusion. The systems that are custom built just for faces do a good job at photorealistic faces, though.
I live in the dutch city of Eindhoven and it's both convenient to have a car and convenient to ride a bicycle. This is possible as long as you invest as much in bicycle infrastructure as you do in car infrastructure.

When a road becomes too wide to cross by bicycle the city here either builds a wide bicycle tunnel or a suspended bicycle roundabout. Those types of infrastructure are expensive, but it's the kind of thing you get if you don't put all of the city's infrastructure budget into one mode of transportation.

What does a suspended bicycle roundabout look like? Have some pictures: https://imgur.com/a/08RJEsk

Here's the location: https://goo.gl/maps/pBTFJGr9sbVHZeDT6

Here's an example of a bicycle tunnel: https://goo.gl/maps/GzAvRCMi1BoxLXgdA

And here it is from the cyclist's perspective: https://goo.gl/maps/mzogX37mqRqrK1JY8

And we also have bicycle roundabouts with tunnels: https://goo.gl/maps/ui28SMbKbXjbvevr5

Did you accidentally cut a freeway through your city? Just build a bicycle bridge over it: https://goo.gl/maps/WqLgJdhsTsr5sufE9

Of course you do need to make sure that there are actually places worthwhile going to within a convenient cycling distance. Which involves building lots of multi-family housing at the edges of downtown. With shops located within those neighborhoods. Rather than huge suburbs with exclusively single-family homes requiring a car to even do grocery shopping.
I'm planning on moving onto a liveaboard boat next year and was really excited about Starlink until the price was revealed to be way out of reach for yachtsmen who aren't in the super-rich bracket. People assume boat owners have lots of money but the very fact of owning a boat means they often don't!

I've been tempted to try RV Starlink as an alternative but I don't think having my livelihood reliant on 'Elon Musk might think I'm taking the piss and cut off my internet' is a great idea. Realistically 4G and 5G coverage is good enough where I'm intending to go that it's not a huge issue.
This is the best answer. Very wise!

I don't know anyone who is well paid who goes on strike. I personally would gladly trade away any ability to strike for more money (which, in effect, I do).

If striking looks like an effective path it means you are part of a system that is keeping you poor. The correct response is not to sit there fighting the system. We've seen how this game plays out, there are centuries of incidents to look back on. The system will win, and great efforts by the strikers will get, at best, a few crumbs while economic realities remain the reality.

Instead of playing a game they will lose, workers should adopt better strategies. Eg, grouping together and investing in capital, like what the winners of the game do. Trading away their ability to strike might be an accidental win on their part if it forces them to adopt economic strategies that work.

No antitrust implications there, not at all. They fairly offer their services to all who agree with their politics.

Thanks for the recommendation. I got interested and would like to try it.

That is, if I can buy it.

From the page you linked, I clicked "BUY NOW" on the top-right, which took me to the store. I can see the prices there but the only links are on the product covers. When I click the Microscope one, it takes me back to the product page with the same "BUY NOW" link on the top-right.

Is there a quest or a puzzle on the website that I need to complete before I can spend my money on them? Is this already part of the game?

There are also hybrid systems that still allow for some market forces where you can for example choose your own health Insurer combined with an obligation of insurers to accept you no matter what and an obligation to offer everybody the same rate for the same plan (no pre-existing condition bullshit). I'm a bit biased of course being a Dutchie but I quite like our Dutch system. You end up with a very affordable system ( monthly pay for a basic plan below 100 euro/month, plans with a lot of add-ons are around 140-180/month. Combined with subsidies of around 80euro/month if you make below a certain threshold means healthcare is affordable for everybody and not a decision you need to way relative to other costs in your life, as it should be.
The "upper class" is the capital owners. People with college degrees are generally workers, they do not own business or own capital.

Calling degree holders "upper class" is simply a way to keep the working class fighting within itself instead of working to change the system to be better for workers.
The new Swift Playgrounds is far better than what came before it. Those versions were pretty much unusable for sustained work.
Almost literally any cheap SBC will work, but multiple ethernet would be an advantage. I don't know of any that have a decent wireless capability built in, and although it's probably possible, I haven't seen anyone use a PCIe or NVMe slot that higher-end boards have for wifi either. If you're going to use a USB adapter for wifi, be prepared to take a serious hit to usability with multiple devices and range.

Hardkernel has great boards, high quality, comparable prices.

Pine64 just announced a RISC-V board with dual ethernet, but I don't know when it will be released.

You can probably find decent OpenWrt/pfsense/etc-capable routers on ebay or Craigslist though - if you find one that can run an open firmware, it will probably work better for firewall purposes than a homebrew SBC kludge.
I feel the article sort of over-analyzes a fairly common process that happens to many people as they become adults and figure themselves out.

Virtually nobody knows what the fuck they are doing when they are 21 years old. You simply don't have the life experience yet, what you have is what other people have told you or showed you. If they're doing something that makes sense, it's by sheer accident.

As you get older, you get more experience, and figure out what you value; and consequently can re-evaluate your course in life and hopefully correct.
I agree.
In theory, some may be placated if the person creating an SD artwork had to ultimately compensate the creators of those artworks that were used by SD in order to stich together the image, akin to sampling records in music.
> Well of course, they are at war. Especially as weapons and money flood in from both sides, escalating the conflict further

Wait, so are they just protecting Russian-speaking people of the east from bloodthirsty Ukrainian Nazis or they are waging aggressive war with intention to topple Ukrainian government and annex significant portion of Ukraine outside eastern regions and Crimea?

> But do you think this conflict is worth it?

Worth it for whom?

> Do you support the Ukrainian claim on the Crimea?

AFAIK returning to status quo of pre-Feb 24 was proposed multiple times by Ukrainian side. That would imply Russia retaining control over Crimea indefinitely. You make it sound like Ukraine attacked Crimea first and Russia is just defending or something.

> Is it worth the bloodshed and economic destruction?

Of course not! I would prefer Russians to just pack their bags, leave and happily continue selling resources to Europe! They could even invite Angela Merkel to Gazprom board for bonus points!

> It's as though we're stuck in a terrible local minimum because both sides are too stubborn to compromise for peace

Ukrainian side offered peace with concessions multiple times (including neutral status, which is another usual bogeyman of Russian propaganda "we are just afraid of NATO nuking us from Ukrainian territory!"), but Russia didn't want to have any of that. It is almost like Russia is actually interested in something else besides securing oppressed Russian-speaking population of Ukraine and ensuring that no evil NATO nukes are installed on Ukrainian territory...

Well, you can still be sued even if the reason is almost totally bogus, and you have to go to court and make a stand that the reason is bogus. Doing only 100% legal things won't protect you from being sued.

Relativity in Five Lessons
Author here!

I've been speaking with friends about starting their own companies recently, and one thing it's made me consider is what experience would best prepare you to become a founder.

Having spent my career in start-ups, the idea of founding my own without first working at one and seeing what works terrifies me. There's so much stuff you only learn from doing it over and over again, at different company sizes, and seeing how it works/doesn't.

I thought it might be useful to share some of that experience, if only to justify why joining an existing start-up can be an amazing education for anyone wanting to start their own. As opposed to, for example, joining an existing big-corp or jumping straight into start-ups without that experience.

This headline seems to be a gross misrepresentation of the situation.

There overtime seems to be voluntary (unless there are not enough volunteers, in which case it becomes a necessary part of employment) and by choosing to form a union for an essential service they’ve contractually agreed not to strike.

Both are reasonable stipulations for utilities and civilisation life support.

There seems to have been a letter circulated which calls for workers to stop volunteering at one location, which is being interpreted as a call for a strike - which I think is a reasonable interpretation.

A better headline would be “Workers at essential service where strikes are not allowed attempt to find a loophole but company is not putting up with it”.

Concretely, investors over fairly short term demand differential risk, and convex return, and in the current season this means big tech works on decommodifying products, without necessarily improving bottom-line quality. It's also probably a fraudulent way for banks and financiers to extract cash from a large number of pensions and retirement funds, with the current constellation of made-up metrics like "user engagement", "ad revenue" and so on.

No, I don't think so. AI generated art that can fool humans has been around for years (7 years ago: https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/innovation/computer-generates-m...) and it changed very little, nobody listens to robo-Bach.

In art humans always look for novelty and authenticity and not for mechanical reproduction, which quickly becomes generic. When every guy or girl on the planet could create a DeviantArt account and start drawing, did that have an impact on professional art? Not really.

We've increased the total artistic output and reduced cost several magnitudes over through tech, and if anything it's increased the demand for human novelty rather than reduce it. But as soon as the 'AI' label gets slapped on it people start to have weird Terminator fantasies.

Well placed typo! :D

I agree with you though. That a society would allow a private contract to take precedence over law is something I can't fathom.
> “we wont strike for 3 years if you do x” is a perfectly reasonable thing

Without legal protection, "you don't strike for 50 years if we hire you" will be standard legalese in any employment contract. It's the nature of a competitive market place vs a labor market where workers have no individual bargaining power: companies that abuse their workers will be most competitive, and pretty soon they are the only employers left in the market.

This is of course not true for very creative long tail employees, software etc., but it could be argued that such professionals are not representative of the deep labor market; they have such high human capital that are acting as mini-capitalists, during contract negotiation they can force the employer's hand to a degree that no scaffolder or birklayer could ever hope to, so they have no practical need for the power to strike.

What purpose would this information be uniquely useful for? I don't think ad networks have some exceptional interest in what you torrented or what porn sites you visit.

If you're implying that they'd do something illegal like blackmail, then I don't think that would be a wise course of action for a company to take. VPN companies are, in the worst case, still limited by TLS. So the amount of blackmail material is pretty small,meaning they would be taking a massive risk for very little reward.

A VPS server can easily log your connections. All they'd need to log are incoming packets to your VPS, and the destination address of outgoing packets from your VPS. No need to concern themselves with what software you are using under the hood.

why are (western) Europeans such pussies? Like, really, short-term economic loss is not going to kill anyone. I'm glad to see that the eastern, slavic and baltic part of Europe can handle it so much better. Partly because they've been under totalitarian rule, and gone through the economic disaster it left behind. Which was waaay harder then the current cost surge
How can not choosing to do thing voluntarily be seen of as a strike, even if it is coordinated? I (personally) don't see that as a reasonable interpretation.
