It's easier to take money and 'advice' from a few lobbyists, most of whom you know, than a mass of people with conflicting opinions whom you've never met. Especially when those lobbyists are buying you dinner and paying for trips all the time.

Then there's the indoctrination about how big companies represent the people too, create jobs, and deserve to have their own voice, their own tax breaks, etc.
Multiple police were out looking for him for days, they appealed to the public for info about his whereabouts. His face and name were plastered all over national media. I live in a different state and this guy was all anyone could talk about. People were desperate for him to be caught. If you saw this man, you were supposed to call the emergency services.

For context, I have never seen a murderer or armed robbery command this level of attention.
Heh heh, that's like phase 4 ;)

I want kids to be able to play at school or at camp, so didn't add any connectivity. Plus I'm trying to stay cheap.
But I can imagine adding bluetooth to the base or to your phone or something. Then I can go all "BILLS PC" and let you store your spirits on the cloud, let you load them in and out of cards, etc etc.

Except I don't want to turn it into an online game. Computer games are awesome, I think it's lame to emulate physical cards with a computer, a'la' Hearthstone.
is that the extend or extinguish part?

Nah. Life in corporate America is too volatile. People (especially managers and skip managers!) change, projects change, RSU tank, circumstances change, …

I’ve been in too many situations where my role was changed overnight because of the above.

Currently at the most sought-after (by many) FAANG but I’m always fully prepared to leave/be laid off and don’t let my mind think it could be long term.

What is long term is instead a dense network of professional relationships with ex-bosses and coworkers to whom I would fully entrust my life and certainly my career, and I typically jump ship by moving closer to them every few years. Corporations are just a soulless random entity.
This is a very polite and optimistic way of putting it. Having been in this industry for 15+ years now, I have a more jaundiced view.

I obviously can't know for sure without them chiming in. However, the context made me immediately think of trans people. It was in a conversation about issues specific to the US, UK, and Australia so I doubt they are talking about China's treatment of Uyghurs. They mentioned "reasoned debates" and the anti-trans contingent often defends themselves by saying they are "just asking questions" or are looking for reasoned debates about high school girls volleyball. OP also called out the speech that leads to violence even if it isn't a direct call to violence. That seems to be a reference to the way that numerous conservative figures have started using "pedo groomers" as a slur to describe people who participate in drag shows, are trans, or even just generally LGBT+ people. Someone just recently heard all that rhetoric, walked into an LGBT+ bar that does drag shows, murdered 5 people, and injured over a dozen more.

One of the reasons people are vague on HN about these issues is because a simple "The US is committing genocide against trans people" comment is more likely to be downvoted and flagged as being political. We often can only talk about these things here by hinting at them. Ironic considering how pro free speech this community claims to be.
Considering that life was normal for most of the country, the virus was contained until vaccines arrived, and the economy was booming, someone violating quarantine was a big deal.
I like the simplicity and convenience of this. Does the secret phrase allow user to delete the page? Probably a good application for crypto currencies, or would be if the dream of micropayments ever comes to fruition!
Flaws with this idea:

- I don't want 100 different subscriptions. Some newspapers want you to subscribe when you visit them for the first time ever, but beyond an individual news story I have no reason to subscribe to the Tinytown Commercial Appeal & Gazette and am unlikely to ever consult it again.

- An amazing amount of paywalled articles are just reprints of wire service stories or rewrites of press releases/ court documents. I am not gonna pay you for what is already public.

- What about ads? Yes, I am willing to disable my ad blocker...if you have a reasonable ad policy. If you have more advertising than content, and it's animated or insists on getting in the way of the news outlet's user interface, you are destroying your own product. Don't come at me with 'everyone else does it so we have to as well.' Everyone else does not do it, and if you cared about what you were doing you wouldn't either.

I am a poorly paid journalist who gets by on donations, and I don't abuse my readers with ads. Would I like more money, sure. Am I willing to sell my readers time and attention for that, no. I loathe advertising as a consumer and I do not believe that the only viable business models are subscriber lock in or cognitive pollution.

I'm confused, you'd make something to hide the results of a userscript you sought out and installed in your own browser?
Huh? Prices are much less than the 1970s, despite all the inflation since. Sure you get less luxury for the dollar, but you can still fly first class if you have money.
The problem is that time value is extremely relevant. If it takes 10-20 years for consequences to catch up, the person is likely to have already built up an unassailable lead that the consequence barely dents.

> He literally had to leave the state and go somewhere new to escape his past network and get new jobs after 10 years of this.

That's not even that bad of a consequence. It sounds like his strategy was worth it tbh.

Personally I hate this kind of behaviour, but from a maximization POV (Especially in regards to career) it seems like the best move. There is likely some risk of ruin, but the upside appears to be much greater.
Sonic Team was not disbanded along with the Dreamcast, but - AFAIK - still exists, however; Yuji Naka left in 2005(?) during Sonic ‘06’s disastrous development.

He’s recently ended up in legal trouble after the shitshow that was Balan Wonderworld. Oh; how the mighty have fallen. :(
$25k is the floor for most manufacturer's cheapest 4-cylinder sedans. Cars that small really haven't shown up in the EV market; most seem to be of the crossover variety. (Though the Bolt starts around $26k and the Leaf around $28k)

I have an EV6 and I just bought my wife an ID.4. In looking at car for her, a larger vehicle is the most important factor to her. She had a Rav4; the ID.4 is about the largest we could get in a reasonable price point. However, Chevy's Equinox and Blazer in the pipeline look very compelling, both in terms of size and price point, but they won't be here until 2024.
Where do you get the screens from? Brand/type?
That pizza graph is extremely misleading. It shows only online pizza sales, not in-person or phone sales. Of course that would be totally dominated by big brands, your local pizza shop can’t afford to develop a website or app for their business alone. But they still take calls, pick-ups, and dine-ins.
You can’t (logically) legally ban legal content.

If you ban it, then it becomes illegal.

If you don’t ban it, then it stays legal.

It’s pretty much that simple.
I wonder how well social media or text message logs would work. I never journaled but I have decades worth of chat logs. I have conversations with people over with over 600k messages between us.

I am not familiar with the OpenAI workflow, but KoboldAI is a community open source implementation to interface with different AI language models locally or online. There are links to premade notebooks of open sourced models you can run different on Google Collab. [1] I think finetuning models offline is still too expensive, but there is some progress and is possible via collab.

KoboldAI has a chat mode setting where it properly generates and continues a conversation between two people. The models I ran were the smaller ones, but there's larger models available on huggingface like FB's OPT 30B. Even the smaller models I could fit into 8gb vram were coherent enough to be impressive.

I am surprised I haven't seen more of is a chat bot based on writes who have passed away. I imagine an Aristotle chat bot would be pretty interesting and avoid issues of copyright.

Sure, in this trivial example there may not be clear benefit, but with more complicated code, operations on complicated structures, with potential state changes, etc. there are many benefits. Even in your trivial example you don't cover the correctness or correct usage of your function - since it's dynamically typed it could be called with non-integer arguments - what's the expected behaviour in those cases?
Did you ever see a game called Drop Mix? It didn’t have displays in the cards but did sense their position on a mat and react accordingly, and I think that might be a better interaction model. It would require that everything is really low power so you only need to supply power when changing the display.
shrugs I'm getting old these days, but to me those exclamation points helped convey the tone the writer was chasing. I read the article, then watched one of the VODs of their streaming, and what do you know: the inner tone I heard while reading the article matched how they talk!

But perhaps I'm biased: I write how I talk too, and use and abuse punctuation to attempt to mimic my own voice.
Loved reading this. About the triangle/cube screenshot, they were taken on Linux on a physical Mac OS computer? How were you able to deploy your driver, does the M1 GPU have a basic text/console mode allowing you to start and work with Linux?

Awesome job.
Speak in terms of benefits, not features. No cares about features. They care about themselves. "What's in it for me?" we all subconsciously ask ourselves. Benefits answer that question.

After that, make it super-simple to try out. The more friction, the less traction. Ironic, huh.
It's pretty typical for people who live in authoritarian systems to actually support the authoritarian laws.
Here here.

But there is also a broader absence (destruction?) of our classical understanding of thought and other domains such as classical objective reality and the platonic domain of ideas.

Not yet sure if this is some weird post modernist view or intentional dummying down, maybe two sides of the same coin?

But at least from what I can observe there is little push to teach people how to think.
Scala has immutable types in the standard library too, but I don't think they make much sense without the language being statically typed. By which I mean adding immutable types to Python or whatever's stdlib would not be that hard, but it would most likely be confusing since you don't know for sure what you have until you look at it and see.
> And I guarantee anything that would happen in the cloud is already happening.

Then you should be much more careful about what you choose to guarantee, because you'd be wrong, and that heavily devalues your "guarantees".

Many of the abuses described in the article below are simply not possible when data is distributed amongst many actors. And many of the targeted abuses would never have happened without easy access to these databases.

https://apnews.com/article/699236946e3140659fff8a2362e16f43

It simply comes down this this: make data more available, and it will be used more. In theory, it is possible to build audited systems that, combined with oversight, could solve a lot of this. But in practice, audit trails are frequently never built, oversight ranges from powerless to nonexistent, and the extreme deference cops get in this country means this stuff is rarely investigated and results in wrist slaps when it is.

Even if true, your first part is irrelevant to the question.

As for the second part, there's a reason why we don't take on these responsibilities ourselves, for competent adults. If you _truly_ believe your parents are mentally incompetent, the right thing to do is to present this before a court, with your parents present and allowed to respond. That's how civil society works.
This is amazing! I’ve fantasized about doing something similar—-what resources did you use to pick up all of those skills?
> Maybe I would pay something like a Spotify equivalent of 10-15 dollars a month to get access to all of these news websites, maybe even a limited number of articles as I don't browse them without being sent to them from another website, but nothing like that exists.

It does, or did… Apple News for instance, previously Texture from Next Issue Media which rocked till acquired and even for a while after.

Unfortunately, publishers keep withdrawing from those things after they're done using the software's popularity to gain addicts. So now you have to "bring your own" subscription to the Apple News app for those publishers that withdrew. It's bizarre.
Now, would just having a link to go see what can do with SDK been as interesting a read?

As usual so much rejection & anti-faith in the comments. Belief that progress is impossible, trying not-worthwhile. What a sad corruption of spirit!
And a lot of them won't care what the government does as long as it doesn't touch their guns. Hell, a lot of them will probably take the government's side in the revolution, depending on who's in office and who they're oppressing.

This article suggests that the fears of mercury are exaggerated. Still very present, but exaggerated. Unfortunately, it's all anecdotes.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5001828/
Actually eye opening account of a child swallowing mercury and was just fine.

I found lots of articles touting that mercury can vaporize at room temperature and then be absorbed through the lungs but none of them had details of how much exposure this would cause.
I'm curious about trying something like this myself - does anyone know which GPT-3 model she used? On their site, it looks like I have a choice of Ada, Babbage, Curie or Davinci. I'm new to GPT-3 - assuming that she started with a "base" model and then, trained it using her journals.
AMC Networks to See ‘Large-Scale Layoff’ After Streaming Miscalculation
What do nation states have anything to do here? It's just companies from China. At the end, to protect IP, you have to strengthen regulation locally (the EU, exactly what happens here). Those Chinese companies operate on your soil after all.

What is the purpose of this China narrative? Is it to blame others and appear childish or to provoke more racism?
>That said, I do believe those who promote actively false or intentionally misleading information (misinformation), especially that which has significant negative impact on the public, do deserve moderator actions, up to and including being banned in some cases.

Like when Fauci and the CDC told people not to wear masks because they weren't effective (because they failed to stockpile enough masks in case of a health emergency)? Or when the US government insisted that Saddam Hussein was linked to 9/11? When you give the power to any central authority to unilaterally silence anyone they declare is engaged in "false or intentionally misleading information" you aren't eliminating false and intentionally misleading information, you are merely giving the central power a monopoly on disseminating false and misleading information that nobody else is allowed to challenge.
Oh sorry, I skipped a step - I was referring to the emerging trend of people adding an archive link as the first comment on HN for many stories, which this is going to accelerate.
I agree with most of what you said, but as someone who recently switched from a Pixel 6 to a Fairphone 3, I just wanted to speak up for it. At this point, a phone is pretty much a phone, and I have no meaningful difference in UX experience. I mostly bought this one because I was quoted $300 for a screen replacement, and figured I'd rather have something that I can cheaply fix myself next time I drop it.
That is indeed the trend, for basically all manufacturers. For my part, it's not too much of a worry -- I barely use my laptops keyboard directly, thats what my custom mechanical keeb is for, after all. The laptop being thin, light, and powerful is important to me (otherwise I'll just use a desktop). I despise my work laptop (a Metabox/rebranded Clevo 15" thing), as it is huge, thick, and has a terrible keyboard when I'm forced to use it.

These low-travel ones may not be perfect, but they're decent, and that's enough for me personally for the times I do need to use it.
It official. Years of programming and on the internet has condition me. I’m good at telling the difference.

This is the saddest moment of my life. I actually can tell the difference between the two images. God

How to fire projectiles through materials without breaking anything
That'd be fine if it applies to every vehicle; some incentives NOT to drive a massive SUV would be nice. They kill pedestrians at a much higher rate than smaller cars.
I don't disagree with you (I've written plenty of GPL-licensed software), but as someone who gets paid to develop products for other companies, it's an issue. Few of my customers are interested in making the embedded software for their product open source.

Actually the MIT open source license (and other similar ones) solves a completely different problem for me. It allows me to reuse this software for many different customers. It's slightly easier to do this when I tell them that I'm going to use "this open source library" vs. "my personal library that I'm granting you a license for this product, but I retain the right to use it for other customers".
This is a really impressive project. That's an assload of new stuff to learn. Congrats on shipping.

> Do... they even understand Little Caesar's business model and/or offering? There's literally no need to ever order ahead. Of course there's no "online sales" of Little Caesar.

Even this has changed, but in a way that still invalidates the author's analysis. They have an app now that lets you order ahead, and they'll put your pizzas in a heated locker that you can open with a QR code, just like an Amazon Locker. I swear I'm not a shill, but I love skipping the line while a dozen people are waiting. The app seems to be intentionally completely disconnected from the rest of the delivery app platform ecosystems.

It only took one DDG search to stumble on this industry report from 2020 that claims Little Caesar's is the 3rd biggest pizza chain based on total sales, which seems like a much better way for the author to make those claims than stitching together partial and biased datasets from various delivery app platforms: https://www.pmq.com/pizza-power-report-2020/

Absolutely, I'll admit to being a too-frequent customer of Little Caesars because I walk in, hand over cash, and get a pizza that is waiting
For the life of me, I’ve never been able to wrap my head around this particular obsession. The satanic panic sadly never went away, I guess.
The recognition of harmful speech. See e.g., German restrictions on Nazi symbolism.
Gas infrastructure evolved over 100 years as cars gradually shifted from a novelty to near-necessity in the US. The goal with electric vehicle adoption is generally to switch over in less than a century. If we do take that much time to switch over though, it will probably happen fine organically.

Charging infrastructure is a valid concern and handwaving it away doesn't help.
Because on a particular three/four-decade-old physical terminal[0], Alt-$KEY was transmitted as "1B [sequence for $KEY]". Eg, Alt-X was "1B 58"[1]. The escape key happened to also transmit "1B" on its own. Consequently, "Alt-$KEY" and "Esc, $KEY" were indistinguishable unless you went out of your way to engineer a race condition. This has never really been fixed, despite intermittent attempts.

0: I think VT100, but don't quote me on that

1: or possibly "1B 78", depending on how it handled shift; I don't remember exactly.

These products have existed for decades (I know because I’ve used some of them), but it is not a solved problem. For all but the easiest cell cultures, growing cells without FBS is extremely tricky. I know that marketing materials (and some publications almost certainly by the manufacturer) say otherwise, but that’s marketing for you.

Not every type of cell or tissue has the same requirements, and things get difficult very quickly as soon as you deviate from the most common cultures. Tissues and non-cancerous (or in technical jargon: non-immortalized) cell lines are usually much, much, much more difficult.

And even if you manage to grow your cells, “serum-starving” will likely happen due to some unknown missing nutrient / factor, which will stress your cells and alter their phenotype. Even if they don’t lose their adherence, undergo apoptosis, or some pathologic autophagy, they may produce all sorts of extracellular vesicles.

FBS is really expensive, and quite mysterious. Nobody really knows what’s in there exactly. [1] Researchers would love to be able to stop using it, because it could mean more reproducible results, and at scale, fewer expenses. Unfortunately, FBS is also unreasonably effective, so we continue to use it still.

[1] This is only a slight exaggeration, but it’s approximately true. Trust me, I know this sounds like a preposterous claim. But this is an absolutely-insane rabbit hole where a lot more research is very-needed. A full characterization of FBS and its effects on cells does not exist, and is much more complex than it probably sounds.
