What is the calculation for hiring mercenaries vs volunteers vs drafts? I would guess it depends on whether you have money or not. But it also seems like there are other dangers, like being outbid at the last moment by the enemy and having the mercenaries turn on you. Or maybe desertion, or being too selective about their missions. Maybe mercenaries might even drag out a conflict or misrepresent the conditions in hopes of getting more pay. But mercenaries probably come already trained and with experience, and maybe inside knowledge or even special arrangements to ensure a victory.

And what is the calculation for being a mercenary? Obviously you want to avoid becoming cannon fodder, but how do you know?
The Social Dilemma and The Great Hack documentaries on Netflix cover this in greater detail but basically they don't need to read your messages, when the can predict your behaviour so accurately. IMHO this is actually worse than reading your messages.

The actual timeline is reversed; I started with the sketch, submitted it to fiverr, realized I wanted to make a comparison to dalle, and only then I tried to come up with a prompt that could encapsulate the whole image.

I can see how it felt contrived, but I hoped to make an apples-to-apples comparison on a real use case. Then to reduce the complexity I tried it on a much simpler prompt.

This is a very hazy area, made more hazy by the main method of getting games off of a Switch being a dev mode implemented by the hardware designers at Nintendo/Nvidia that is enabled by bridging two pins on the JoyCon connector which completely bypasses the DRM. Is using hardware features as designed "breaking" DRM? Hard to make that argument when they left the door wide open, unlocked and trivial to use.
Where did the author get these recordings? A very interesting read.
Yes, but in the 90s there were no esports, gaming wasn't a billion dollar industry ( with advertising[1] to support that ).

<<Emulation hasn't been a niche thing since the 90s, emulating older systems has always been wildly popular.

Compared to today it was popular amongst some enthusiasts, who already self-selected from perceived social outcasts. Gaming has only recently become more mainstream, socially acceptable AND ridiculously profitable.

The target is that much bigger. I stand by my 'it used to be a niche', because even being interested in computers was not a mainstream interest.

Sounds like they’re just claiming that enabled AirTags were banned all along, not denying that they’re currently banned.
In the average case it changes the balance of power in favor of the customer when there is delayed or missing luggage.
Number 3 is the ARIA spec right? You should be using that already if you’re writing accessible applications.

Can you show me an example of the 10x less code?
Actually a flat 0%.
How to solve this problem? Stop losing peoples bags, then we won’t feel the need to use AirTags.

I never even thought of using an AirTags until I read the article, it’s a good idea though.
My reading is that AirTags are permitted by IATA regulations.

[0] indicates that a small Lithium-metal battery, as is installed in an AirTag, can be transported as cargo on a passenger aircraft.

[1] indicates that low-powered communications like Bluetooth are permitted from active devices transported as cargo (page 9, item 3).

Am I missing something?

I have not checked if in recent versions of Windows there has been any change, but previously by default the computer clock was synchronized with a time server only once per day, so until the next synchronization it is normal to accumulate a time difference up to one or two seconds.

I do not know how many Linux distributions enable by default a ntpd daemon, but I have always enabled it on any computer running Linux or FreeBSD.

When a ntpd is active, it adjusts continuously the local clock based on comparisons with NTP servers, so the time cannot be wrong by more than a few milliseconds. Therefore the error becomes 100 to 1000 times less than without ntpd.

The time differences between computers using NTP on the same LAN are smaller, usually of a few hundred microseconds. For even better synchronization within a LAN, the Precision Time Protocol must be used.
Cost competition is biggest aspect in my mind. Is the storage competitive compared to alternative if power is free is good benchmark in my mind to start with.

We can store plenty of energy in car batteries as EVs become more common.

And that is energy that whether it’s available for putting back in the grid or not, (usually not, which is fine) replaces a gas pump.
> Yes, this will be the end for some artists

This isn't art. It's a graph meant to represent data.
Maybe it's better when hands are a central element, but I don't think I've ever seen it draw some that aren't weird when they are just a peripheral element of an image. But I haven't used it that much and those may be better too.
AIs (at least currently) have problems counting. So anything containing a number ("3 lines") will be difficult for them.

(My bias: I'm generally for art to be created by artists. I find AI generated images to be a fun game, though. Exploring the minds of those AIs, in a way.)

For a privacy policy to actually give me confidence in it protecting my privacy it would need to:

1. Be short enough that I can read it quickly (at most a couple minutes)

2. Be easily understandable

3. Actually have meaningful protections for my privacy

Most privacy policies are none of those.
As others have said I use relative line numbers to prevent counting vertically. Within a line, I use "f" constantly. Using your last example, say I needed to get to the word "characters" and change it, I would, "fc" and "cw". In the case where there just happened to be multiple "c" on that line, I would "fh" and "ciw". I don't like counting either.

I used the thinklight a lot in college when I'd want to do homework in bed with the lights down low. You could both read papers and see your keyboard easily. The backlit keyboard really killed off the thinklight as I'm sure that was the primary purpose of it. I had an X61 tablet, X200 tablet, and a beefy T420 I used in college. They all got beat up in my backpack, anything plastic around the edges was cracked but they all performed dutifully. I only replaced my X61 because I finally had to use 64bit software for school. The T420 was too heavy to carry around all day and I wanted the tablet feature for homework so I bought the used X61. I still use my decade old T420 but I really wish I had sprung for the high density display as websites think I'm using a mobile device at 1366x768. There are ways to upgrade but I don't think I love my old Thinkpad that much to put in the effort.
The NSA has a poor track record with cryptography, often being audacious enough to believe that their backdoors in common encryption standards wouldn't be found by anyone. So much so that the idea of them being behind Bitcoin at the same time that they were gutting modern encryption is... Well, laughable, really.

For most people it comes down to not being worth taking the time to prune. Without attempting to shop around I'm seeing something like $25/TB for large drives. A photo and it's corresponding .RAW (for those of us who shoot cameras that record such) takes maybe 20MB unless you have some pretty high end gear. 50,000 photos per terabyte. 0.05 cent per photo. If you work at minimum wage that's about a quarter second of your time. You're much better off working and buying a bigger drive than in pruning unwanted photos.
Might this be useful?

Why the economy can’t get real
The only reason an artist would think they’re being replaced is someone told them they would. So the solution is to not tell them that, as it’s not true.

(The main instigator on Twitter is a guy who draws “realistic Pokemon” and hates that an AI may have stolen the art he already stole from The Pokemon Company.)
I think people overlook the fact that there's more to a photo than shutter speed, more to a comic than the drawing... There's message, composition, design, focused iteration, etc, etc.
I really enjoy using DALLE for simulating photographs as it forces me to think outside of just the viewfinder.

Knowing how to design and structure maintainable code is a must for any successful code base to remain manageable over many years.

Clojure, in the hands of someone that knows this, works wonders. It gives your team 10x productivity, safer more correct code, that's simple to extend and grow over time, keeping your velocity high and your tech dept low.

But if you don't know how to leverage it's strengths, what best practices to follow, you can end up in a mess like that.

And this is true of all languages honestly. I've seen this for C++, Java, JavaScript, C#, Scala, all kind of code bases that suffered this same fate, with 100% team attrition, and all kind of other issues.

I say this from first hand experience, 6 years on a team that transitioned to Clojure, in that time the team rotated fully twice, during the pandemic it had 100% attrition, even I left (working on another team), but all the new developers, even though they have zero Clojure experience, had no issue understand the code base and start making improvements and building new features, velocity saw no impact whatsoever. You get the usual some of them would rather it be something their more familiar with, others are loving it, some don't care either way. But no complaints about the code base itself, no talks of spaghetti code, or challenges to debug anything, or understand what's going on.

Basically don't expect Clojure to save you from yourself, it's an asset when you know what you're doing, not a safeguard when you don't.
An experiment is only a single part of the scientific method, and one can easily neglect the rest of the steps. This article doesn't start with inquiry or a hypothesis from the author. We just get data and "I told you so" at the bottom, which doesn't illustrate anything.

It's funny that what we don't see is a shorter prompt. If you ran this experiment with just "A graph with 3 slightly wavy lines", maybe the difference between AI and human results would be closer. Maybe that's the basis for a legitimate research project, but it's frustrating that the author takes the ball to the 80-yard-line and just gives up.
Yeah. Except that just building the factories to build the solar panels and wind turbines would take longer than that. And that statement ignores the whole supply chain.

The thing is, despite what extinction rebellion et. al. tell us, the global economy is moving to renewables pretty much full speed. It's just that that same economy has so much inertia that it will take decades to make that switch. But the second half will not take nearly as long as the first.

I'm explaining the same thing, the difference is my interpretation is based on actual historic events. That is, ultimately, what regular people believe isn't an accident.
You get easier at doing the math in your head as you practice more. There’s also lots of methods you can use to skip counting altogether. Like using search. d/“ will delete everything between the cursor and the first “ vim finds, for example. Double quotes are easy, though. :) you can do fun stuff like d/x then dW in this case:

This is just an example. Anyway,

To delete from the cursor at T to just before the A in Anyway without counting words.

Contrived example because there’s an even easier method. There are fun ways to do things and it’s satisfying when you figure out a neat method.
Why would they need one? Just use an emulator
And what solution would you suggest here? I'd like to hear it. Preferably one that does not setup Russia for another invasion in a couple of years, like you know, when they took Crimea.

AG as studied by mathematicians has produced an incredible amount of applications that would not exist without that level of abstract tooling.

And it's highly nontrivial to learn those tools (as someone that has worked through Hartshorne... And then put 20 years into applications).
I honestly don't understand why it's unrealistic to require a DVD drive when one can often buy a USB unit for less than the price of a decent dinner.
All current *rechargeable* lithium chemistries are an issue, single-use is not. Air-Tags aren't going to start a fire.
I think you're on to something here. I have a feeling that the author has already come to the self-serving conclusion that open source software is somehow harmful to developers, and is trying to reverse-engineer a justification for that statement -- ideally one with moral implications like "it takes money away from developers in low-income countries".

Incredible work and a great story. Congratulations on shipping! Keep it up.
This is always annoying to read as they wasted ")" to some shit.

"(" should be: Push next word to X-stack

")" should be: pop and execute top of X-stack.

So "(+ m n)" is equal to "m n +"

And "(IF (< A B) (THEN C ELSE D)))" ==
"A B < IF C ELSE D THEN"
Side note, is anyone using one of these as a daily driver computer for development?

The specs look decent enough and the price is cheaper than a laptop.
These are good points, especially around the magic substitution. I hadn’t really considered that.

Even so, pandas has the same magic substitution going on with just a standard function call, and it’s somewhat intuitive.

However, regardless of the syntax nitpicking, this is a cool project. Nice one!

300k Cassandra nodes seems a bit over the top even for a company with as many active devices as Apple.

Ask HN: Is anyone using MongoDB for new projects?
Ask HN: Availability of Writable Optical Media?
I'm trying to install a new OS (OpenBSD) on an Apple G5 Xserve.

This machine is unable to boot from USB, so the only options are an external Firewire drive (hard to find), netboot (possible, but quite some work to set up) or a (single-layer) DVD in the internal DVD-ROM drive.

I haven't used writable optical media in years. It seems that, at least here in Germany, inexpensive blank writable CD and DVD media are still readily available, but I wonder for how long.

So I'm thinking of a "lifetime buy" (maybe a 100-pack CDs and DVDs each), but I'm worried about the durability of unwritten optical media.

I would love to hear about your experiences with (long-term) availability and storability of optical media. Except for keeping the discs out of the sunlight and heat, are there recommendations for storing blank media?
Ah, yeah I was thinking keyless entry not hands-free entry.
Or to just say it - because the system has absurd complexity as proven by the hardware needed to run it.

Hold on, we are talking php here. There is no code compiling.

Either way what you are describing sounds like instead of maintaining sql code you prefer maintaining orm code. DTOs are just overhead.

I gave up on all these after 15 years of using them because the benefits are precisely zero (except for migrations). Similarly with typescript, if you are competent enough with js and as a programmer you dont need it. The web can overkill itself perfectly fine without a scripted language that transpiles to a scripted language.

Perhaps its just me, i rarely make typos and when i do the linter or ide catches them early on. In highschool they made us keep track of variables and their types with pen and paper and as a result i always know what type my var is. I was also taught that just because you can it doesnt mean you should. So i dont write a dto for transferring an object to a different api. It’s just a waste of time, specific to PHP devs.

Edit: the type of code you pasted is horrible to maintain. You can achieve that with less sql.
Right so the question is, when did this become the case? When did cities become unaffordable and why?
Cost must include environmental costs such as direct destruction of the environment and greenhouse gas emissions.

A big problem is for anything to be successful it had to be similar enough to the last thing. E.g. all the new frameworks that look and feel like React. Every new thing is constrained and sticky taped onto the older thing. So no one can ever step back and ask themselves what the truly ideal thing is.
It’s refreshing to see an ancient DNA study that actually incorporates archeological context into its interpretations. I’ve been seeing a growing increase in ancient DNA papers that make far reaching conclusions while ignoring archeological context.
