My local pharmacy has a pill dispensing robot for the common prescriptions. This story seems to be more about centralizing the workload to some big locations than it is incidentally about the robots.

It's going to be fun to be on the front line when this new chain borks up and some bignum% of your customers can't pick up their Rx for a few days.
Interesting, but having watched both (and been involved a little bit in sketch comedy), it really does just feel like coincidence.

You think, let's do a sketch with the Charmin bears. Their main defining comedic characteristic is... their whole life is toilet paper. Conflict is introduced when... one member wants to change/escape. Therefore one needs to reject the limiting toilet paper life for a contrasting, expressive life of... art/theater/dance. A choice usually made when... choosing where to attend college. And the Dad can't accept his son like that... but in the end he does.

It's just the kind of paint-by-numbers logic of sketch comedy. If you asked 10 improv teams or sketch writers to start with the premise of a family of Charmin bears, I wouldn't be surprised if half of them came up with the exact same thing.

And having watched both sketches, they're otherwise entirely different in execution, tone, and everything else.

So yeah it's funny to joke that SNL stole your idea, but basic premises are a dime a dozen, and then the logic of comedy usually leads them to very similar places. Which is actually kind of why good improv teams work so well -- the logic of comedy keeps things running smoothly, as (trained) improvisers can easily see where things are going and contribute accordingly.
Hmmm … feels like a lot of missing the bigger point here. Xonsh, IMO, isn’t about hating bash or loving Python.

It’s about making a new language (and shell) that tries to bring what’s good about a nice shell to Python so that when we hit our “this bash script is too big/complex and I need a better language” threshold, we can pick up Python (a reasonable choice) but retain some of the ergonomics of bash for calling and piping data to/from external programs, which Python simply doesn’t have (where subprocess + shlex + stdlib utils just don’t cut it IMO).

From my minimal experience/playing around, xonsh seems quite nice and I find it a very believable future where it is a mainstream system scripting tool.

Another thing to keep in mind is that AFAICT it is coming out of the researchy-sciency crowd where Python is mainstream and bash a necessary evil. Finding a way to make subprocess calls easy seems an obvious win in that context.

Going even further, how nice would it be if something similar were part of the Python standard library? Being a wonderfully ergonomic shell script alternative seems like an instance where python could finally be the actual best at something.
> After retiring from Princeton in 2007, he taught organic chemistry at N.Y.U. on a series of yearly contracts. About a decade ago, he said in an interview, he noticed a loss of focus among the students, even as more of them enrolled in his class, hoping to pursue medical careers.

> The problem was exacerbated by the pandemic, he said. “In the last two years, they fell off a cliff,” he wrote. “We now see single digit scores and even zeros.”

We seem to be losing focus as a society on literally everything--from University courses to just driving around.

If that leads to a better outcome for them, why not? I don't believe they should live in poverty for the sake of achieving some weird intergenerational justice.

> What qualifies you to make sweeping off the cuff assertions about all black Americans?

Oh, but I'm actually not talking about all black Americans. Are you aware that the racism you talking about somehow evades Nigerian Americans, with their income being higher than national average, and poverty rate being lower (in fact being less than half that of African Americans)? Somehow they don't feel the same about police brutality.

Can you entertain the thought that this enforced victimhood mentality doesn't help black folks, but hurts them instead?
Hey,

> I don't like the idea of digging myself into a groove, even if it should be a comfy one. Powerful ecosystems can be hard to break out of, something I've found with Google and specific social media.

I had the exactly same thought holding me back, then I realized that Emacs doesn't really suffer from vendor lock-in/the walled garden effect: it's way older than most gardens, and bound to be around for as long as we use keyboards to interact with computers.

Come over to the Emacs side, frodetb, we have lambdas.

Per the article, he's been teaching this for decades, and his textbook is in its fifth edition.

Frankly these students are lucky to have this guy for a professor.

The article notes that he's seen a decline in student application for a decade, and the pandemic just collapsed application entirely.
Yeah it's really important we don't repeat the economic stupidity of the 1990s that got us into this mess in the first place.

It is, of course, absurd that we do not own our faces or likenesses. That needs to change without outlawing cameras, photographs nor photographers. Since it really is very difficult to determine who created more, the copyright should be shared evenly, and any sale of copyright and waivers should be banned. I don't think it would be all that bad if copyright was permanently owned by the original holder(s). This would eliminate speculators getting rich off someone else's sweat.

Yeah, there’s a history of bombs that they watch internally.

Will Ferrell talked about this in some interview he was in some skit playing an obscure character and it completely bombed, but he still drew it out for the total time.
He is generous.

That said, when I've seen this happen, 9 times out of 10, it's not intentional. It's happened to me too:

* You see something.

* You forget about it.

* You re-invent it yourself a few weeks later.

I'm fortunate that's only happened in low-stakes contexts (e.g. talking with friends, I think I invent a joke, but it turns out it came from somewhere I forgot), but I'd be absolutely horrified if it ever happened in a high-stakes one. I'm glad I'm not a professional in anything like this.

Also: generous is almost always the right strategy to take here.

From my perspective, Rust does not belong in kernel. But meanwhile Linux kernel does not belong in modern infrastructure. Until the day a mature kernel-oriented language and an established kernel showed themselves, Frankenstein experiments will continue to trump both parties.

They weren't the only ones. In the 1970s I worked for Tymshare, a pioneering timesharing company. In a way, we were the "cloud computing" of the day, but with no local compute at all.

Just Teletype machines and then "glass teletypes": a CRT terminal that merely mimicked a Teletype with scrolling text, but with the disadvantage that if something scrolled off the screen you couldn't reach behind it and pull up the pile of paper to look at your old code. It was gone.

They were quiet though.

Later I discovered a "programmable terminal" in a side office/storage room that no one used. It might have been a Datapoint 2200 or something similar. Whatever it was, it had a processor and a character mode screen buffer that you could address directly.

Naturally, I immediately wrote Conway's Game of Life for it in assembly language.

When my manager saw this, he was fairly gentle: "Mike, that must have been fun to program. But we have business needs. Can you please forget about this useless machine and get back to work?"

I had more success with another programmable terminal: a Texas Instruments DS990/1. I found this in the back room of our Texas office, after I flew down to design and implement our usual Teletype "print a question, you type in the answer" interface. Then I saw that I could put the entire UI on an interactive screen, and stayed up all night implementing it.

Our sales team and customers loved it, so this one made us some money.

Not long after that, we hired Douglas Engelbart. Yes, that Douglas Engelbart.

Obviously, someone in the company had taken an interest in what Doug was doing, but he never got any resources to build his vision of the future.

I worked in the same building and often walked by his corner cubicle. With my own interest in more human-oriented interfaces, I sometimes wonder what might have happened if I'd introduced myself. But I was a shy young geek and walked on by.

Sometimes it's just the wrong place, at the wrong time.
I use zfs-auto-snapshot for snapshots, it works great. I think the only thing I would want is early warning for a disk failure. I'll probably automate that. TrueNAS feels extremely heavy with too many features I don't need. There is a web server, database, etc which feels overkill for a simple home NAS IMO and having to manage the management system.
Not at all. Doing your own moderation depends on having the tools available to mute/censor/block people you don't want to hear from.

For example, I used to play Rocket League. I played either solo or teamed exclusively with a few friends and mutual acquaintances. They have various settings to mute the chat and comments from other people. I'm not interested in all in hearing flames or nonsense chatting from random people I'm playing against, so I have all chat muted except for team chat (people I know and choose to team with). This is doing your "own moderation", and is the ideal circumstance is far as I'm concerned.

Unfortunately, however, Rocket League doesn't allow you do your own moderation, despite the proper tools being available. One time, someone I was teamed with (who similarly had all non-team chat muted), typed something in team chat that ran afoul of Rocket Leagues sensibilities, and they subsequently received a week-long ban. Nobody could see this chat except our team (myself and this other person). We had already engaged in our "own moderation" by muting everyone else. This was an overreach as far as I'm concerned, and would far prefer to have the power to see and hear what I choose, and not what the platform chooses.
There's a general jankiness that I don't enjoy dealing with (especially when using high DPI screens), but the real dealbreaker for me is the lack of support by professional-level photo editing software. I personally use Capture One for most of my editing, and it won't run on Linux.

In the article, the professor says he noticed a decline in student attention a decade ago, and with the pandemic application "fell off a cliff".

We have a general crisis in education. Students graduating high school without core skills or knowledge, without motivation, without study skills, and with entitled attitudes about their performance. It's been building for a while and has reached crisis proportions.

More recently, it should be obvious that the "remote" education provided by colleges to sustain tuition revenue during Covid was a bad joke. The colleges should have held class in person or shut down until they could. They put their financial interests well ahead of their educational mission.
No doubt because of the pornography more than the technology.
I agree. If your needs can be fulfilled by ChromeOS, then Linux can definitelyf fulfill them as well. In my case, ChromeOS cannot fulfill my needs.

I am finishing my PhD (electrical engineering) in reinforcement- and transfer- learning. My research combines classical control theory with advances in artificial intelligence. I apply my work to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and smart buildings. Specifically, how to re-use existing machine-learned knowledge on a related task to solve it fast. Previously I've interned in research roles at big companies (AWS), start-ups (TieSet), and in adacemia.

Looking for research/engineering roles in industry in, or adjacent to, machine learning and controls.
I think there's a bright line between "content moderation" where speech and behavior is being moderated, and spam and/or bug abuse which has nothing to do with content of speech whatsoever. Rate limiting inputs is not the same as picking and choosing who is allowed to say what based on arbitrary standards of speech content.

Maybe you are right with the idea that more people should at least try these jobs. I agree it would be helpful. However what frustrates me is that they seem to draw all the wrong conclusions about this sort of work, and see it as character building which draws back to the directly unhelpful ideology of characterizing harsh labor for low pay as morally constructive. It is constructive in the sense that it gets you used to hardship, but it is still your life seeping away for little gain, which is the raw fundamental fact from which working class solidarity germinates the strongest.

Some time ago, John Stewart made the observation to Bezos that people would not want to just spend their working lives doing errands for the wealthy and would rebel. I suppose it's mindset like that of Bezos or the person in the post that made me react with disgust. I am failing to propose a solution, but the problem seems to be in part a lack of awareness from the well-to-do of this world that has dangerous consequences for the rest. After reading the post, I can't even think of something to suggest to the interviewee because the mental and class distance to be bridged seems so vast.
In my opinion it's still (delegated) PoS. PoS doesn't imply any particular blockchain structure; it's just about using stake as a Sybil-resistant method of selecting certain users for certain roles.
I agree with a lot of this, but it's missing any discussion of downsides to having a lot of accounts.

Some of these include:

* Granting permissions to resources in other accounts is complicated. Even where there is first class support, such as for s3 and kms, it involves multiple steps, and familiarity with confusing terminology.

* Using the web console or cli is more complicated. In the cli you'll have to manage a bunch of profiles, and probably figure out a way to distribute that aws config to your team. And in the web console, switching between accounts is a huge pain unless you use a third party browser plugin to automate assuming a role (which normally requires knowing the account id). And even then, you need to give that plugin a mapping between names and account ids.

* Several products charge per AWS account. Using a lot of accounts can make those products very expensive.

* Having to assume a role in another account can complicate code, especially if you may or may not have to assume a role depending on the circumstances.

I say this as someone with experience with working with several accounts, and who thinks that we should have more accounts.

Even with these downsides, once you reach a certain size or complexity, the benefits outweigh the detriments. But the detriments are still there. I wish AWS did more to make working with a lot of accounts easier.
I just saw this for the first time. It seems to address a lot of issues with hacker news that I never liked. Including the hands off / casual attittude to usability and design. Tiny fonts, fiddly links, etc. Try using it on a mobile browser. It sucks.

This is the same content but with a better and responsive design. And by that I don't just mean how it looks but the core functionality of the site. How it looks is actually pretty minimalistic and clean.

Finding stuff back on HN is tricky because the page changes all the time and the items re-order and disappear. This gets rid of that by sorting by time. And then you can narrow it down with top 10% and top 50%. So simple and effective. I loved Twitter and Facebook a lot more before they decided to be "clever" and hired a lot of machine learning propeller heads that completely ruined the experience by trying to second guess what I should be seeing and not seeing (which mostly serves their needs rather than mine).

HN of course has a much more simplistic algorithm of some formula involving time, upvotes, and number of comments. It works in combination with the old school paged list of stuff where the page size was set in stone to 30. It creates a sense of urgency for people to get their link on the front page. It's prime real-estate and it replaced slashdot in that sense.

This seems to keep the best parts of that by simply sorting by time and getting rid of the 30 items per page thing with a more modern design. You can simply scroll back as far as you want and still benefit from the "frontpage" notion by filtering.
I have a few questions about this approach, cards on the table I mainly deal in C# where DI (through the framework) is the default. How do you manage the initialization of all of the dependencies? Do you need some sort of "root" where everything is initialized and passed in? That was all I could come up with while keeping it testable and that doesn't sound maintainable once you build up the number of dependencies.
