right, but if a counter-party ends up losing money because of incorrect assessment of credit or liquidity risk, isn’t that their own responsibility? It’s like when someone can’t pay the mortgage loan a bank lent them - the borrower isn’t performing under the terms of the contract, but part of the payments that borrowers make to the lender is to account for that credit risk - what matters is if the lender has accurately priced this over their portfolio, taking into account how “independent” (or otherwise…) the individual loan risks really are. The liquidity problem is usually when it turns out that the individual loans credit and liquidity risk are NOT independent at times…
Right, but why would anyone file a patent on stolen IP? It would both defeat the purpose of stealing the IP in the first place, and put a target on their backs.
CME offers micro futures at globex: METX2 and MBTX2. You can short those with your typical margin rates; my broker gives me the same leverage as legally defined by my gov.
when I was messing around with day trading crypto my main strategy was actually to short btc. It was a long ride, I was up 500% on my initial invesment, I then lost 500%, made 50%, lost 50%, finally made 50% again and quit forever. Thankfully I cashed out before FTX went bust.
Lessons learnt:
- day trading is stressful
- I had no idea what I was doing most of the time
- if I replaced my shorts with longs I would've likely made 1000% at minimum. Any idiot could've day traded for a profit during the 20-21 boom
I mean the BBC did fake an entire chemical attack in Syria, complete with a fake documentary, when the British were trying to push for intervention. Then they proceeded to purge and memory-hole the entire thing when it was finally released and turned out to be worse than a low-budget film. It was full of voice dubbing doctors, repeated takes, and actors coming out of the woodwork to try to stop investigations[0]. It's called "Saving Syria's Children."

Of course, the standard Western narrative exists in its own sphere, and the only groups to challenge it are the opposition (Russians, Iranians). As a consequence, even generally rational people will immediately dismiss the opposition as being malicious/untrustworthy and will as a result ignore the arguments being presented. Even though the arguments are not originally Russian/Iranian.

The outcome is we now have Western news sources being wholly unchallenged (and vice versa) and BBC continuing to be considered reliable since anyone who would question them is, as a consequence of the culture that has been established, suddenly unreliable.

Again I have one on my 2017 Forester, and never turned its safety features including AEB off. All it does when reversing is beep because the sonar sensor is confused. It never behaved unpredictably.

(and yes the AEB did save me from backing into things at least twice in these years, so I know it works)
Be was amazing when it came out.

I was introduced to it when the company came out to do a demo of it
for the computer science department of the uni I was at.

The multimedia abilities they demoed were amazing.
Coming from Atari ST and TT this seemed like the next generation.
I loved the BeFS.

I could not afford a BeBox at the time and the uni. decided against
buying any.

We did have quite a few NeXTstations in the department which were nice.
but I would have preferred Be.
Jeff Bezos Says He Will Give Away Most of His Fortune
This is literally my #1 rule and it's so blindingly obvious I don't understand why it isn't just common knowledge.

It's also not unpopular at all in my experience, especially with kids that grow up on farms and ranches (we're basically rural) where you have to go do hard physical labor regularly just to survive
That makes it even worse then.
Why would most people who invest lose their money? Assuming their investments are diversified and made in well-run businesses, or high-grade bonds.
You quit after a single day? those are rookie tenacity numbers bud, gotta pump those up. give yourself at least a week, all new things are tough. I have been programming professionally for 15 years and I still encounter these uphill battles that feel terrible - but once you are over the hump it is often smooth sailing.

Pretty wild. Seems like license suspension or retraining should be required.
Yes, but it is the kind of white lie that I think is morally ok? If people get a thrill out of “free money” and charity X gets more funding, not the worst thing in the world.
That's a pretty severe mischaracterization of intersectionality in general. Intersectionality refers to the fact that you can't analyze human experiences as linear terms (being black, being a woman) and that you must consider the effects of being some combination of categories. As an example, intersectionality claims that being both black and a woman brings separate challenges than the additive combination of being black and being a woman.

That's all there is to intersectionality, any conclusions you make beyond that are your interpretation of intersectionality, not the general consensus of the "far left".
Sure, you don't have any other option, but it's their product anyway. You're already saying you want something from them.

Also, my experience at Tesla dealerships has been the best of any dealership (and keep in mind I'm not a musk apologist (quite the opposite), nor own or plan to own a Tesla). They literally give you the keys and let you drive around by yourself, no questions asked. The experience is lower stress than buying a pair of shoes.
then to which the money donated go? I mean considering it's money raised using banners splattered all over Wikipedia, specifically saying Wikipedia and barely any mention of Wikimedia
Authors get paid for library books. (They often cost quite a bit more than the same book sold to an individual.) An author/publisher can choose not to sell to a particular library if they really want to.
Wait, I didn't see anything in the thread about this at all?

EDIT: I've really really searched, where is the culture war topics everyone in this thread is talking about? This sounds like editors being upset about fundraising banners since WMF is financially well off.
In other news: 100% of people who drink water inevitably die
Yeah, it seems like people are just trying to find something to disagree with. It is absolutely true in the social sciences. Eugenics anyone? There are mountains of shit science out there that is rooted in the bias of the scientist.
> That’s why we don’t believe in low/no-code tools: they get you to 50% of what you want quickly, but you generally aren’t able to customize the last 50%, and have to build from scratch to get to an ideal outcome.

Agree - low-code software has tons of problems that all stem from things not being expressible in code (hard to version control, hard to do code reviews, too much vendor lock-in, etc).

It's interesting to see Retool say this in a blog post, since their core offering (the UI builder) is built as a proprietary low-code platform with an underlying domain-specific language. I co-founded a company called Airplane.dev which takes a much more code-based approach to building UIs, workflows, and other internal tools due to these pain points with existing low-code platforms.

With this launch it seems like Retool is taking some design cues from Airplane (or maybe just independently coming to the same conclusions). We've had a code-based Workflow/Cron tool for about a year now. I'm excited to play with Retool's version and see how it compares.
The model is that you don’t know there’s an EOF until after you’ve read the last data byte.
Yeah. I mean there are large swaths of New England where there isn't any cell service at all, let alone multi-carrier coverage. And these aren't just logging roads or whatever, they are paved roads that people commute and travel on every day. This is an unalloyed good for anyone anywhere in areas like this.
Who solves this problem any better in the cross-platform GUI space?

Well, maybe Qt, but even if it does, C++ is much less forgiving than TS.
Well, it is either your superior driving behaviors, your car manufacturer's superior implementation, or just the way statistics work that not everyone sees every bug.

My car auto-brakes at 5mph for parked cars that are backed into spaces, which I am sure reflects poorly on my driving in some way, if we're adopting the "bad things only happen to bad people" model.
I was going to say, the same is true of every cross platform framework I’ve ever used.

Coming back after some time away is usually 5 minutes of updating things to get Android working, and then a few hours of iOS dependency hell.

It’s definitely an issue with RN, but I haven’t used a cross platform framework that’s any better in this regard.
Most of Amazon employees live very near from the office, a substantial amount simply walk or bike to the office. Seattle downtown is practically an Amazon jungle.
Any personal locator beacon recommendations? It's one of those items that I could very much use during bike touring, hiking, and bikepacking... but I've never bought one because it seems like a very large cost for something I won't even test until it is a matter of life and death.

Out of curiosity... is there any way to alert your local emergency department in advance of testing a beacon, so you can verify that it works?

The Subaru uses two seconds per tick mark on the adaptive cruise display, so the distance changes as you go faster. At slow speeds, it's roughly exact car lengths, and at 65MPH it's considerably further.
Would love to see a film strip of these guys mounting/dismounting their bike.
You could just admit that you used the wrong term? One car length = the length of a car.

Different errors will warrant different approaches. Very much an engineering decision case by case, maybe with some senior engineering oversight where not clearcut. Insisting on all-brittle or all-muddle-through upfront is unlikely to be anything like optimal. IMHO, obvs.

But if the error should not happen, eg invalid types, stop that line of activity ASAP.
> I wish Google Maps or Apple Maps made it easier to download a large swath like you can with OSM.

Google Maps on iOS let’s you choose squares on the planet and download offline maps.

Open the app, click your initial at the top right and you’ll see Offline Maps in the drop-down.

Driving directions only though. But you can search for POIs and it will navigate you there. Or you can look at the maps/streets.

I use it regularly in USA and Europe when I don’t have a data plan there. Or when I’m low/out of data in Canada because Canadian telecom sucks. Or when Rogers shits the bed.

I also have Kiwix with full copies of Wikipedia (about 85gb) and a few other resources. And a small solar panel so when doomsday hits…
If I recall, you could play Crash Bandicoot in one of the Uncharted games (both made by Naughty Dog).
First four-ish were my favorites when I was building this, and the rest were pretty arbitrary (though I favored streams that were more reliable on more platforms). I actually like WERS better than WHRB; will switch them on the next push :)
There was a vote for the war in ukraine?
Implementation matters. The automatic braking on my compact SUV has falsely triggered hundreds of times over the course of 3 years, usually when transitioning from a moderately-pitched-down driveway into a roadway. The result of this scenario is the car coming to a dead stop with its front end halfway into a traffic lane, putting me and my passengers at greater risk of a collision from oncoming traffic approaching from the left hand side. It’s happened so often I’ve made a habit of disabling it whenever I exit certain commonly used driveways know to trigger the behavior.

This depends on whether you’re a Legitimist or an Orleanist. And even then, the Orleanist claimant is only “balding”, looks to be around 4 or so on the Norwood scale.

I'm not pushing back against anything. The ARM ISA family has two distinct phases. I'm just stating that the original ISA and the current ISA are two distinct beasts. Both are pragmatic in their own way, but the motivations between how that pragmatism is applied are quite different.
I encourage people to know the laws in the state they are exploring as they are different across the board - some are at no cost to the individual while others have clauses.

Additionally, know how your device works - end to end - regardless of what it is. You gain a lot of knowledge and life saving techniques by knowing the process that is kicked off, it's timeframe, etc.

Uniswap the protocol is like SMTP - it's open and permissionless. Uniswap the website is more like Gmail, it has a whitelisted set of tokens to swap.

Because it's a protocol anyone can build a frontend on top of it to filter out any information they like, just like Email. Zapper, DeFi Saver and Zerion are examples of this. Element Finance runs using Balancer under the hood but you wouldn't know and aren't exposed to any tokens or pools they don't manage.
Honest question,how does this make the lives of humans better?
Current gen Tiktokers ran away from facebook and instagram, not from oversharing on social media. I think teens will always be very active on some kind of social media, but yes one can certainly hope that all of it is seen in some negative light by the coming generations.
> I guess what I meant to say, is lowering my rate by around 25%, but also being less picky on what I should bill before so that I can earn the same amount, acceptable?

Yes, it's fine, you should pad one of them. Either rate or time. Even if you just log in to a 1 hour meeting they host, bill them for 1.25-1.50 hours for context switching/ "prep work" is pretty acceptable. It is going to be client specific, if you find your clients are being overly sensitive to either - you probably want to find another client as it's just going to be a rough relationship when they're counting every minute/dime. Of course, the best practice is to put all of this in a contract but there's a million edge cases. Some general clause may work.
This seems somewhat contrarian -- what changes can Apple make to their iPhones that could save millions of lives?
I'd venture that the majority of people who invested in BTC from 2010-2016 have made money, in USD-terms.

Back then, the bull case (market-cap approaching M1) was orders of magnitude stronger relative to the price than it is today.

The bear case remains the same (you lose all your money tomorrow when the hash is cracked or your government bans trading in it).

It really is wild to me (with the unquestioned gift of hindsight) that all of these companies saw these massive developments in CPUs, fiber optics, etc. and their immediate reaction was solely a lust for the future in the form of video on demand specifically.
Kinda like an inverted form of that alleged Henry Ford quote, if you asked a corporation what they thought the future was then they would say a better TV.
HUGE fan of Kemal (and Crystal as a whole).

I started, as many do, with a full-featured batteries-included framework (Amber, which is also awesome and super easy to grok), but later realized that I much prefer being closer to the metal and Kemal is exactly that. You can build a fully-functional API in a single file with a few lines of code, and it works easily and quickly.
Fair enough.
I don't think I've strayed from the original remark:
which is that marriage as an institution was a semantically meaningful and adultery had serious consequences.

Which has nothing to do with "women in our lives" whatsover, since it easily could have been a wife who gunned down the mistress and/or husband for adultery.

Everyone seemed to haphazardly latch onto "womans rights and agency", which I find particularly odd since when zero consequences for actions is some sort of fundamental (woman?) right or something to that effect.

The only way I can interpret is that they desire and quite enjoy the "zero consequences" pure indulgence, hedonistic culture and are too cowardly to own up to it, instead hide behind all sorts of other excuses("but what about them women agency") which makes no sense whatsover given the context.

Ie. they want to be able to fuck somebodys wife with the legal protection on their side, thus somewhat reducing the risk of their face getting mashed in with a steel pipe.

The crucial part of the discussion is whether:

(a) marriage as an institution should be serious and have serious consequences

(b) or should it be abolished and/or remain an empty meaningless husk of it's former self, a pure old fashioned tradition/sentimentality without any real substance behind it

That's all there is to it.
> "Vast Majority of People Who Invest Inevitably Lose Money"

I read this as: picking particular stock winners has been known for decades not to beat the market. Yet people still want to believe...

I don't think this is particular to crypto. Don't you see the same phenomenon with day traders? Something like 95+% are losing money, as I understand it.

To the later commentator: if you're investing in stocks and not beating the market average, then yeah, I think you should consider yourself to be losing money.
Any movement that believes they can immanentize the eschaton[1] is going to use any and all means at its disposal to do so.

I bill by the hour, not the minute. If I work 10 mins on something and do nothing for the other 50, you are billed an hour. Frankly, this is how most clients have actually wanted it. They think in hours (or days) not some subdivision of them. And yes, thinking about work is the same as doing the work. It's all billable time.

As far as your rate, I always bill as high as I can without pushback. Where is that level? You'll know when your rate is too high. I kept increasing my rate with contracts until clients started to grumble a bit. Then I backed it off 10% and haven't had a problem since. Note this means I am getting paid 30% more than where I originally started. Wouldn't have known that if I didn't attempt to max out my rate.

In the end it's just business. You either make a client happy or you don't. As a business your goal is to maximize your profits without much pushback. That will just take some time and energy to find out what the market will bear.
The point I'm making is that they don't know that. It's all armchair CEOs. They don't have the information that WMF has, they aren't privy to the problems WMF faces.

You think if WMF could run with half the expenses they have today but not lower income they'd just choose to run the way they do? I guarantee you they are looking at cost cutting daily, like every other corporation.
They could just let you use it and charge you a one-time fee.

And don't require the payment to go through before unlocking the feature, obviously. There will be some people who you can never collect payment from, but not that many.

Show HN: Create your own DreamBooth models for $2. Share, try, or remix models
I've been working on https://synapticpaint.com/ to make content creation easier and more accessible to people. As part of this, I've been building a DreamBooth ecosystem around the following features:

- train: easily train DreamBooth models with no set up, just upload photos and go

- use (generate): immediately use the models with one of the other Synaptic apps (Txt2Img or Synaptic Paint), or download the model for offline use

- share: optionally publish your model so that other people can use it (DreamBooth models can handle not just people but also styles or objects)

- discovery: browse existing DreamBooth models

- remix: combine different models together (not implemented yet)

There is a waitlist right now because I'm having trouble increasing my AWS limits, but if you're interested in playing with the technology email me (email in profile) and I'll send you an invite.
Because they do so foolishly and with a bias toward the short-term.

All of the people losing money on Bitcoin and crypto were trying to get rich quick and predictably got burned. Just like people who only hold a stock for a few days or try to get in on an option play like GME or AMC at the last minute.
Fusion is entirely optional in RISC-V, thus decoders do not need to implement it.

It does not help the largest implementations, that favor having a lot of small ops flying, nor the smallest ones, where fusion is unnecessary complexity.

But it might make sense somewhere in the middle.

Ultimately, it does not harm the ISA to be designed with awareness it exists.
This could be mitigated by not blocking access to the feature after the 2 years and charging for each use.
> Assuming that 70s or 80s programmers knew anything about printing presses is tenuous.

I don't think that's the case at all. Lots of work was done computerising newsrooms in that period.
Nowadays these ancient languages are used to create division and discrimination.

- Populist leaders claim their region has now a different identity, that they have been colonized but that they should be independent countries.

- Discrimination is carried out by requiring to speak it in order to be a civil servant or to apply for other jobs in the regional goverment.

That is why this is so important for these people.
Yes, the crash at FTX gets all of the press, but it's really the slow motion collapse of things liken pension funds that should really be getting our attention. SBF is just a piker compared to the pension funds.

Recently getting into the Asimov books again after a long hiatus. What Sci-Fi has inspired you to build something?
Failing fast, when you know the subject area well enough to deem the obstacles clearly insurmountable, may be a useful skill.

I'm not certain it's the case here though.
Sure, I'm fine with admitting that. It was an inevitable misunderstanding anyway because cars are different lengths so "car length" is largely meaningless.

The Subaru's adaptive cruise control system treats car lengths as variable units based on speed. It's much more liberal than I made it sound in the original comment. It sounded reasonable when I wrote it, but infinite nuance strikes again I suppose.
