This is similar to how I do things, minus the CPA and swap Square with Gusto.

> you need to be your own tax "champion"

Exactly! This is why I stopped using a CPA. I tried a few different people over the years, and I felt like I was doing all the heavy lifting. One year, I had a guy not deduct my payroll taxes (which I caught), once I was told I could fund two 401ks with the maximum amount when I was working for my company and another (nope), and once they told me I couldn't deduct my personal health insurance premiums because I paid for it out of my own pocket (the IRS lets you treat it as a business expense in certain cases).

The unforgivable one is that no one ever told me to pay myself ~28% of my distributions as salary (if reasonable) to optimize the QBI deduction (this saves thousands of dollars per year for SaaS businesses). I just happened to notice that when reviewing the QBI worksheet, and then Googled it to confirm. The CPA didn't have a clue.
Thanks. I was accessing gmail with the same IP, I tried both home and work, unfortunately I changed my phone and my laptop at the same time. My phone works, I can receive verification code, but somehow it is not enough. It asks to send a different code to YouTube (which I don't know how would that help), or Google Authenticator, or the exact email I am recovering. I have been thinking about maybe apply for a court order or something...
It's the "BS singularity". AIs trained on BS from the internet write even more BS, which gets published on the internet, until the entire internet is BS.
Got it :) Yes, I'll also check our x86_128 file for #if; those are some of the potholes in SSE4 which are filled by AVX2 or AVX-512.
Interestingly you can use the author's prompt and ask it to behave like a Ethereum RPC node. You can then instruct it to retrieve your balance or any erc20 balance, broadcast transactions, burn and mint tokens.. everything looks perfect and the block number even increase between attempts. The only part where it gets weird is when you ask to retrieve the price of WETH/USDC on uniswap. The commands and contract addresses are correct but the price returned is far from correct

You mean the Renaissance? Since then it's been 400 years of brain drain to the US.
Too bad that the book about debt and how it became intertwined with our culture and morality relies on a spurious conflation of basic terms. Adam Smith wrote a whole book on The Theory of Moral Sentiments but the beliefs that Graeber choses to ascribe to him are invented whole cloth.

And for a book written by an anthropologist, the picture of China we get is a culture existentialist caricature.

At least as quaint as Sher Shah Suri.
Their "payphones" are described as free to use. "Payphone" was probably just used as the moniker due to the association that "payphone" has as an installed public telephone.

Again I say, huh? Did you miss that this is a government contractor operating a service on behalf of, and with oversight by, that same government?

The government identified that an existing system wasn’t working and replaced it with one that works great. Would you prefer that they didn’t…?

Don't be productive, go visit friends and family. Hang out in the woods. Take up a hobby with low mental overhead.
What part of "whataboutism" is a bad argument?
That's true, but I consider "you're all caught up" to mean "it's time to close the tab and do something else." Honestly it's really great of Instagram to provide a convenient stopping point like that instead of an infinite scroll.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, Emacs/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Emacs plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by Emacs, comprising a full Lisp system.
> Biggest predictor for Facebook and IG use among my sample of friends is whether they’re married and have families, or in many cases, pets.

Which way does the correlation go?

Today I did an experiment.

I opened up Facebook (the desktop version), scrolled down 40 times, and categorized every post I saw in my timeline. The result was roughly 30% ads, 30% "suggested" posts of random memes, 30% updates to pages I'm subscribed to by necessity (local clubs and such), and only 10% "real" content published by friends. An that last 10% was mostly people sharing or commenting on random pages I don't care about, not anything about their life.

So Facebook, which is still marketed a social network and a way to stay in touch with friends, is now to me 90% irrelevant (or mostly irrelevant) garbage. I'm only using it as a mailing list for the few communities I'm still subscribed to, and despite having close to 200 "friends" I have not interacted with any of them through Facebook in years, save for the occasional birthday wish. Maybe I would if my timeline had some of their content, but either it's being pushed at the bottom of the algorithm or maybe like me they just don't bother posting anything at all anymore.

It wasn't always like this. I'm old enough to remember Facebook's rise but young enough to have joined it when it was "hype", in my final years of high school. It looked nothing like today, your home feed was a constant buzzing of people sharing updates about their life and interacting organically. Yes, there were privacy concerns already, but it also tremendously helped me broaden my social circle and feel part of a community. It was very effective at the "social" part of "social network".

But then came the engagement maximization algorithms, the ads, the brands, the sponsored content, the atrocious UI updates...and slowly but surely people started leaving, because it was becoming harder and harder to parse signal from noise. I'm sure there's a generational rift element too (teenagers pretty much ignored Facebook after their parents started to join), but even people who grew up with it are leaving because it's a fundamentally different platform than it was back in 2010.

Seems like Instagram is taking a similar route. Makes you wonder if it's the fate of every social network to eventually decrepit and die.
OSS Twitter bot powered by ChatGPT
1. The amount of experienced programmers believing this is real makes me think most people will be out of job in future. If you are doing something really original, likes of which does not exist, try getting AI to generate it, you can't cause that's how it works.

Any AI on its own is incapable of doing any unknown computation, including current GPT. Try writing anything original, on the bleeding edge (likes of something that isn't available online), like writing contracts in bitcoin simplicity etc. AI is just replicating what the answer would look like, based on what it has seen.

2. Think of why is chatGPT making news? With copilot, chatGPT, instructGPT etc., openAI will simply copy your idea using their AI API if it is mildly successful, and launch it themselves. You really either don't wanna be using openAI API or must race against them.

I'm appalled. And amazed. Here I offer my humble contribution of Luke Skywalker discovering that Kardi B is his father. Luke's lines are written by Shakespeare and Kardi B's lines are written by Kardi B.

Luke Skywalker:

Foul day that gave me birth, and bade me face
The dark lord's might, and see within her eyes
A truth that strikes me to the core: she is
My father, and I am her begot.

Kardi B:

I'm your daddy, boy, you better believe
I'm the one you're lookin' for, I'm the one you need
You got the force inside you, don't you see?
Join me, and we'll rule the galaxy

Luke Skywalker:

I'll never join thee, father, in thy quest
For power and domination. I'll not yield
To evil, and I'll fight thee till the end.

Kardi B:

Thou art my son, and thou shalt do my will.
We shall see who is victorious in the end.

Luke Skywalker:

I'll never yield, I'll fight thee to the death.
I'll prove myself the stronger, and I'll win
For good and right, and freedom for us all.

Kardi B:

We'll see, my son. We'll see who proves the victor.
Interesting. I tried it and it had all sorts of problems, even in Python.

It didn't split on the comma. It assumed all numbers would be 1 digit. When I tried to get it to fix those, it ran into other problems, and I decided to abandon the pursuit.
Thanks, this is helpful. I was looking at the Create 3, and I like the price point, but the website doesn't include much in the way of accessories or addons. Do you know what people use it for w/out those?

The article doesn't say it's a ban: just a limitation for essential travel, after non-essential heating is turned off in nightclubs, etc:

The first one would be the emergency phase and would have three degrees of restrictions that will entail reducing shop operating hours, turning off heating systems in nightclubs, and reducing temperature in buildings to no more than 20 degrees celsius. The restrictions on electric vehicle usage for non-essential travel is in the third escalation level of the emergency phase.

> Why should this be changed? Is it broken? Is it something that 1 second on google can’t answer?

Pretty sure every year there's thousands of unnecessary search requests for this nonsense.

Programming languages are tools. Make it as easy and straightforward as possible so that its users can build whatever it is they were building with the least amount of friction.

> There are two reasons this term will stay. It is a tip of the hat to the amount of PHP work that came out of Israel

Funny because PHP — particularly theearlier versions — isn't exactly considered an example of good language design (though it has vastly improved recently).

Negative. I had forgotten what it meant. All I remembered was that I've seen it years ago and was annoyed back then.

> And if you can’t remember the meaning of something like that, I hardly doubt you’d be a decent programmer anyway.

That's just, wrong on so many levels. Anyway, I'm just happy they didn't say anything like "people who screw up colons shouldn't be coding"
This is currently just running off of my dev laptop as a solid, usable proof of concept.

If you have ChatGPT FOMO, you can try it out yourself:

1. Just create a tweet with @ChatGPTBot and include your prompt

2. Wait for the bot to reply with ChatGPT's response (usually within a few minutes or less)

Super easy.

Note that if this gets a decent amount of traffic, the queue times might go up pretty fast.

This is due to a combination of Twitter's rate-limiting and my own self-imposed rate limiting of ChatGPT.

Thoughts / feedback? Thanks!

I told it I liked rhymes. It also didn't understand that I wanted iambic pentameter. But still, very clever!
There's plenty of reasons you might want something like this. They can play an important role in public safety

Also just general accessibility. Houseless people exist and every business is increasingly hostile towards letting them charge their phones. Most people who haven't had to experience houselessness aren't aware about this but next time you go to some bougie upscale shopping district try to acknowledge how many outdoor, easily accessible outlets there are. Now do the same thing in some inner city/poorer area or anywhere with a decent amount of houseless folks

Or they're gonna find away to put ads in the service lol
They probably upload a map of my house to the cloud.
Public Telephone is a better word.

Though the death of the pay station was accelerated by the drug crisis, a reduction in pay stations lead to an acceleration in mobile phone adoption here in the states.

I prefer to use REM, but I have experienced the following relatively frequently: large organizations in which the developers are somewhat uncomfortable with REM and as such use a converter function that turns your 1.2rem into an absolute pixel value as part of the build - surprisingly enough one place I worked at did this and also mandated that everyone should use rem which caused me to consider the expert they had consulting there that made this rule didn't actually understand the purpose of rem.

that said - rem with functions such as clamp, min, and max would seem to me to be problematic as it would be extremely difficult to understand all the potential effects it would have, since I think these functions, clamp especially are the most important for handling responsive displays I would probably drop the rem usage for anything but fonts.

Actually maybe even for fonts, if you increase the size of your base browser fonts from 16 to 18, it and h1 is specified as 1.5 rem it might be that the user wants most text on page - paragraphs etc. to be 18px but don't really want headings to be bigger than 24px. Also as clamp allows you to specify text size of an area fluidly based on container size this also seems to me as a better solution to most problems people will experience.

Unfortunately changing a single setting is too reductive to really help.
That number is for low performers, not for PIPs. Only a certain percentage of low performers make it to the PIP stage and even making it the PIP stage doesn't mean you are fired. Also that 6% fluctuates and isn't a hard and fast rule ever year.

And knowing how Hacker News works, I'll likely have someone show up and tell me that I'm wrong and don't know what I'm talking about. But let's just skip that part - I have direct experience and counter examples that back up everything I'm saying that go on for years.

Extremely overpriced at 80GBP for 125 lights when it cost already more than pricey Twinkly which you can have for like 100 lights/50USD or 250 lights/130USD and if you get your own parts it's way cheaper (from AliExpress for maybe 1/3 or 1/4 of Twinkly, just search addressable lights).

Hey there! I've been working on a Game Boy emulator since last year and found the GameRoy project, which translates the PPU's logic from SameBoy, the (AFAIK) most accurate GB emulator around. I basically copied the PPU logic into my emulator and replaced the "state" property (an integer) with enums for some extra clarity.

> Law enforcement cannot improve your bus number [...]eventually something is going to happen to them and then your organization won't be able to recover from it.

In this particular instance, the regulators absolutely can. If the CEO is failing to discharge their duties, they will be disposed of as a company officer, and a new officer will be installed, who can get access to bank accounts and other resources (websites, domains, taxes) backed by the force of law. Not going to regulators is what wil lead to an irrevocable failure in this instance, but it appears the volunteers have already resigned to that fate.

I find rather suspect that the CEO registered a private company with a name similar to the non-profit they already run. I don't have full context, but that alone sets off alarm bells for fraud and/or self-dealing: I'd definitely contact oversight on that basis alone, if I had standing.

FWIW it isn't consistent about this. I saw someone do a similar trolley problem the other day and it was against switching, "out of respect for human life" or something like that.
I can definitely write better code with copilot due to faster iterations and much better code coverage. I believe we are a paper away before this can start improve of existing code itcluding the code of itself.
Good point, however if someone doesn't follow their preachings it severely diminishes value of things preached.
Again, it's very impressive, but consider this: chatGPT spans many many domains. You can ask it questions about music, screenwriting, programming, math, science. This is what convinces me that it's not "just" provisioning a system and running the commands. In order to get that general of output, you can't waste time setting up these things for this narrow use case of emulating a computer. It would be special cases on top of special cases on top of special cases, it would fall apart quickly.

Ask HN: How do you fix the “no longer feel” anything in tech?
I've been in the software industry for ~10 years. I no longer feel exciting for anything including the latest ChatGPT. I've already been through these phases: engineering principle for all things -> okay, helping customers is the actual business value, so code is just a tool -> obsessed with [solution,problem] -> well, it's actually mostly about marketing and sale, problems don't actually discover good solutions, mediocre solutions find their way to the problems. Now I see tech is as useful as taking a shower every morning. I no longer feel anything in any role in tech industry.

No, I don't think I'm depressed. I eat healthy food, exercise and see mountain and river every morning. My mom loves me.

I'm figuring out what's the best mental model to survive (or feel) anything in tech. So you may suggest something outside of tech, I'm already pretty good at many things. But this profession just doesn't feel (or feel at all) right.

My understanding is that the ranking of this
game is more tied to the timezone you live in (since the ranking depends on the hour when you solve the problem), than anything else.
Also it sounds like it is more targeted to people who want to have fun solving the problems than to people who want to compete for ranking.
And last, until their rules say otherwise, I'd say using AI to solve the problems is perfectly fair.
Watching the global leaderboard for the next few days will be fun. I assume on days where this script produces a correct solution, the leaderboard will immediately fill up after the problem drops, since many people will probably try using this.

Nuclear plants use very little raw materials relative to the amount of power the produce. When built at scale, nuclear plants have been delivered at prices around $1-2 billion dollars per GW of capacity.

The cheapest form of carbon-free energy really depends on what the objective is: small reductions in a mostly fossil-fuel grid? Or total replacement of fossil fuels? Renewables are great for the former: you can throw up some solar panels or wind turbines and reduce a chunk of fossil fuels use. But once you try to start delivering significant portions of the energy grid through intermittent sources the surplus energy starts to get wasted, and the effectiveness drops.
