Forgiveness as a kind of mourning makes sense, but is counter-intuitive.

I think we've come to regard "forgiveness" as inevitably ending with reconsiliation. But perhaps, more often, it shouldnt.

That is, forgiveness is how I see the other when I see them not as an enemy or friend, but as a tragic part of nature. I have moved on. Our ability to forgive has, perhaps, been distorted by the perception that it's an act of kindness. I think, rather, it's the most rutheless form of grief there is.

Another insight from the article is apology as a kind of non-violent humilitation. And the idea that apology even as a cultural expectation is somewhat rare and somewhat contingent on the era.

This, again, makes sense but feels counter-intutive.

What would a society look like which forgives without apologies? Perhaps one much better at moving on, much better at focusing on outcomes rather than obsessing about status.

Perhaps the "purpetrator" doesnt need to apologise, we can just forgive them and punish them at once. We punish not to humiliate as an act of vengence, but as a necessary step to a better outcome. Eg., firing a dangerous boss, breaking up with a partner, etc.

Remember, cutting off the MFA microservice?

I strongly suspect that was a case of switching off something that few people realized was required by for MFA service to operate. That speaks to poor comms, poor docs, and poor understanding of the systems (by the people who were still around.) "Chesterton's Fence" says you shouldn't be turning off stuff you don't understand, but if it looked OK to turn it off, but it wasn't, then that's actually an indictment of the poor engineering practises that Elon claims are rampant around Twitter. Rather than showing Elon to be an idiot it might prove his point.

But we're not in Twitter, so we can't know. What I would say is that if everything was well signposted that the service was critical then I doubt Elon would have recklessly ordered it should be turned off regardless. He's not that bad. It smells of bad documentation to me.

His mentality might be that it's too late to go back and the company is probably going to fail anyway. So he has to radically change the workforce and the culture there. So he's throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks apparently.

Good! It's the only good (really good...) translation engine, and hey google don't even think about to buy it, everything good get's bad over time in your hands.
Give it 10 years and people will feel similarly about Rust. They’re both just super-complicated languages.

Some devs thrive on that, but most people can’t and shouldn’t have to. And you can see that contrary to what some in the Rust community are saying, there’s a push to use Rust for web. Bonkers.
Honestly, because I don't see what problem Twitter is solving in the first place. Twitter popped into our reality as the winner in a time when social media was launching and everyone wanted to be a voice on the internet. And for that it works and thrives on its own momentum. But I'm not sure being a voice on the internet is actually a problem the needs a solution now that social media has matured and many people are backing away from it.

In the end, trying to find a perfect system for new and original research (I like new and original much better than "novel") is not possible, because new and original research does not follow any rules. All you can do is to build enough slack into the system so that people can do whatever the hell they are interested in, in addition to their measured duties. But then how do you admit people into this system? If it is based on objective measurements, you will mostly get people who will do great at their measured duties, but will mostly not be able to use the slack to produce new and original research; instead they will turn the provided slack into objectively measurable activities. Bar unlimited resources, I don't see a good way out of this conundrum. Do you?
> I have so much disdain for win-at-all-costs entrepreneurs like this.

It's a symptom of a much sicker culture, SBF is another one (SV/VC and Politically connected insider from an Ivy League) and the woman who ran Alamdea (Standford grad) that needs to be prosecuted to fullest extent of the Law: it will serve as a deterrent that 2008 couldn't or wouldn't. If the FBI moves forward the extradition then we can perhaps start to take this seriously, because as of right now the Bahamas has been the only one to do anything, as they just took FTX's tokens [0], but that is seriously the lowest hanging fruit because Japan is still holding people's BTC after nearly a decade and done exactly nothing to return them after MTGOX's failure.

The harsh reality is their is a multi-tier justice and legal system in the US, and to be honest it will be incredibly difficult to indict him on full charges; but if they do, then perhaps we can start taking the legal system serious.

But I agree, this kind of behaviour needs to be curtailed because it just emboldens them.

> In classical times, PEOPLEWROTELIKETHISMAKINGITREALLYHARDTOSIGHTREADANUNKNOWNTEXT. They considered writing not as a separate manifestation of language, but rather as a record of speech, and it didn’t occur to anybody to distinguish between words or even sentences.

Is that really right? I can believe it happened sometimes but it seems implausible that happened all or even most of the time. I can see that the idea of a sentence could be a bit fuzzy but so long as there's a concept of words there could surely be the idea to separate them.
I believe that to be fake. See e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33625168 which is not something GPT3 would do. Also: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33495927 where he replies to comments.

With the only exception of tax treatment for different holding periods or year of sale. If you’re a few days away from getting long-term treatment on a large gain, you’re not in exactly the same position as someone buying today and could easily have a different risk-adjusted return on holding shares you think are over-valued for a few more trading days.

Less common is if you have a long-term loss (in-year or carry-forward) that will be used to offset a short-term gain, but you have a long-term unrealized gain. In that case, you would consider holding and realizing the long-term gain in the subsequent year, allowing the (less valuable) long-term loss to offset the (more expensive) short-term gain.
It feels as if we need to subdivide homelessness by root cause (in my mind there are three, hard times, mental health, and substance abuse), universal basic income is not going to address substance abuse and mental health in my mind… but could be a boon to someone living out of their car who’s hit upon some hard times…

The real point being made here is that a 'real company' can generate value in the form goods or services, which hopefully makes the out pipe bigger than the in pipe.

This could be true of crypto; maybe the voting system in a DAO, or the art in an NFT, or the peer to peer trust, has intrinsic value that people will sustain a profit margin for. But with the simple empty circle they are making the point that the main reason folks invest is just to make money, and in that regard crypto is mostly just moving it around and that's not a value add.

You could say that regular finance is the same, but it brings intrinsic values like insurance on deposits and investments to the table, and invests in 'real-growth' businesses that produce goods and services.

Is charging port technology something we want to be the wild wild west and have companies quickly push random designs ?

That’s very likely. In a past life I’ve done a bunch of auditing for m and a, apart the obvious nepotistic paid internships more often than not people thought to be unproductive were really important to the organisation.
Think about payroll, legal and the likes. They’re not necessarily productive in terms of the main product, but they help reduce the legal risk for the company and insure that people in the ‘productive departments’ may stay productive.
As software developers we tend to only see the number of features/fixes someone pushes to the product as the main metric of productivity, however there’s way more to running a largish company.
>My solution: uBlock Origin...

Wow! --this is a brilliant idea. I'd been trying to hack something together in GreaseMonkey to do something like this. But unfortunately my JS-foo is practically non-existent. So I never got very far with it. I never even thought of trying to do it with uBO.

Mind you, my ABP filter syntax knowledge is about as flakey as my understanding of JS. Nevertheless, this is what I've got so far:

#block submissions with these domains...
#or with this in the title...
news.ycombinator.com#?#tr.athing > td.title > span:-abp-contains(/[Tt]witter/):upward(tr)
news.ycombinator.com#?#tr.athing > td.title > span:-abp-contains(/[Yy]ou[Tt]ube/):upward(tr)
news.ycombinator.com#?#tr.athing > td.title > span:-abp-contains(/[Ee]moji/):upward(tr)
news.ycombinator.com#?#tr.athing > td.title > span:-abp-contains(/[Ww]orld [Cc]up/):upward(tr)
news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing > td.title > span:-abp-contains(/[Pp]interest/):upward(tr)

It's a bit clunky to write and it leaves the 'submitted by' line behind. But already my HN viewing is 23% less annoying.

Do any of you ABP syntax gurus out there know a less clunky way to match case insensitively? For some reason the -abp-contains() filter is case sensitive and uBO doesn't accept a regex with /(?i)keyword/ or /(?i)[keyword]/

> What you have described is living your life where you satisfaction comes only from purchasing comfort.

I think there's a difference between having absolute comfort, and not turning up the heater in winter time, enduring cold inside your own house. Besides, it's not like he lives alone, his wife lives with him, and she has to endure that whether she likes it or not (they're old and there's no way for her to leave him, so let's not go there).

So, being a stoic is ok if that's what you like. But dragging others with you by force I think is not ok, and if you apply stoicism on things like not warming up your house, or not buying good food when you invite your family to gather in your house once a year having all the resources to be a good host, is not stoicism. It's being cheap for the sake of being cheap.

Also, my wife told me he's been like that his entire life. It's not like he turned cheap in his old age.

On my part, I'm not going to have dinner for Christmas at his house ever again.
It would not be that blatant. They look more to add ambiguity and instability. They may be interested in amplifying police brutality in the eyes of users as well as lawlessness and looting simultaneously to sew discord, as an example.

Tulip mania was never a secret. Crypto just added some more layers, making it harder to tell that it was mania.

Education is the only answer I can see.
I worked on a groundskeeping team for a small cemetery (in the US) as a summer job when I was in high school. Mostly, it was mowing grass, trimming weeds, cleaning lichen off stones (we got to use the power washer for that, which was always exciting), etc. There were typically only a few burials per month. We didn't do the burying; that had to be subcontracted out because it required special equipment and a lot of paperwork that us minimum wage schlubs couldn't be trusted to deal with. Where we were, the local regulations required that you couldn't just put a coffin into the ground, you had to put it in a concrete vault (probably something to do with the water table). So one of the companies that did that would show up with a truck and backhoe, cut out the sod, dig the hole loading most of the dirt into a truck but leaving a smallish pile there for the ceremony, lower the vault into place, set up the lowering mechanism, then clean up and clear out. After the ceremony, they'd come back, drop the vault lid into place, pack up the lowering mechanism, fill the dirt back in and replace the sod.
Not so much a problem of recording.

Maybe not the place for this question, but I've been wondering about it recently:

From what I think I understand, cremation usually leaves the bones, which are then ground to produce the "ash" that goes into the urn.

Why not just bury the bones in an ossuary? It would be much smaller than a typical grave, and that's what ends up in the vast majority of coffins eventually anyway (certain "incorruptible" bodies notwithstanding), so why not just start there and skip the grinding step?
This one's pretty simple: China is a totalitarian regime that is in direct conflict with western constitutional values. So if influence is aimed at democratic foundations, of course it's a bad thing.

> German platform has been competing with Google Translate for some time.

Competing is an understatement, for all the (European) languages I have used, Deepl is the closest to native I have ever seen. Been using them since the pandemic and pretty happy with it.

Not sure what they are doing under the hood but they are not competing they are eating google's lunch in the translation domain.
Your mobile network is probably still V6 at the core. They're either giving you V4 at the endpoint or your phone is hiding V6 from you. Android or iOS? Apple stuff is V6 native now. Android's gonna be mixed.

Depends on the carrier network though. I am on Spectrum (Verizon network) in Ohio and get V6 with CGN for V4. My wired ISP provides dual stack.

I guess they're not flush with cash. From what I noticed most small German/EU companies developing complex SW projects like this, that aren't backed by well funded VC funds, don't bother with hiring dozens of juniors like other unicorns usually do since they don't have the money. They prefer to wait and only hire the "perfect candidate", usually experienced seniors withe the right skills willing to work for the salaries they can offer, which usually aren't much.

I also have a DeepL competitor in my EU country and their hiring practices are similar, rarely hiring, and mostly senior devs and ML PHD grads from the local university. And they're not paying insane salaries either, which probably explains why they hire so rarely. It doesn't help that up until recently Meta and Google were sucking away all the local ML talent to their offices in US/London/Zurich for n times the local ML wages.

DepL is probably in a business that's difficult to monetize successfully because:

1) it's just difficult to successfully polish and scale up products of big-tech complexity when you don't have big-tech money.

2) many situations still require translations be done by a certified professional (educational, legal, immigration, documents, contracts, medical records, etc)

3) for the casual use case of tourist/travels, Google's point the camera at things and get the translation, is something DeepL is missing, and those consumers are unlikely to pay any subscription fees when Google does it for "free" anyway

4) human certified translators are still relatively cheap in the EU due to the oversupply of grads in this domain (their wages are trash most of the times) so there's no economic market pressure to automate humans out of this job

5) It's rare, but sometimes DeepL still makes pretty big mistakes, making it unusable for professional scenarios without humans proofing the final result (once, it translated the German word "Post" from a sentence to "the German post office" in English, even though the text was about the Austrian post office lol. I guess it's because their models were trained on texts from Germany mostly so "Post" in German texts must always be "the German post office" to them even though German is officially used in ~5 countries. Or sometimes DeepL emits several words from a sentence changing the meaning completely, etc.)

The company I work for has the webpage UI in nearly a dozen languages, and all translations are done by professional humans, because despite DeepL being the best, it's not always perfect, and no company will risk its reputation by having translation mistakes on its home page.
I agree - the problem is varied, and the solution needs to be nuanced.
I think on average google stopped being a technical leader years ago. They produce a fair amount of technology, but they also employ nearly 1% of the software engineers in the country. That's a long way to say I would gladly wager that there are dozens of people who read this thread that could produce by themselves and in one session a document which would serve as good or probably better than this.
It becomes language issue when you need to manage code written by others.

Yes, the majority of bad rep it gets is because people picked it as first language and "just started coding", without reading up how to write stuff in readable way but that's... most developers.

Not many start their new language adventure with code style guide and while say Python at least nudges you toward semi-readable code, Perl gives you enough rope to shoot yourself and nuke a nearby city along the way. And any of you that goes "well, ropes do not explode" clearly don't know Perl deep enough.

That births a lot of shit code.... that new developers in a year or two now need to deal with too (which is bad) but also use as example on how to write it (which is way worse).
Everyone should learn basic economy
You're right that Turkey would've been ideal were it not for the recent financial troubles, though I wonder if a big event like the World Cup could have eliminated or at least delayed this crisis. If you look a bit further afield than just the Middle East, Egypt or Morocco (or some dual bid) may have been good options too.

I think you're right to discount Israel, to be honest not just because of safety and access issues but because it's a relatively small country that can't reasonably support stadia of the size and quality required to host the World Cup. They've three ~30k seaters which is ok but the rest are absolutely tiny - to be honest even the Greater Glasgow area likely has a better selection and there's not a hope in hell of even a Scotland bid (outside there's one >60k, three around 20-22k and a dozen more 10-19k). These smaller nations would do much better to submit joint bid - most countries can afford at least a couple of white elephant stadia if they don't already have a few bigger teams that could occupy them - but with Israel, I can't think who they'd host with.
In this particular case it's not at all clear that having the mother heavily involved in the child's upbringing would actually be a good thing.
