There are so many reasons, like rampant rape, the near requirement in some prisons to join a gang to not get beaten up, $10 for a package of ramen in the shop, routine abuse of things like "solitary" by guards to harm people for fun, $3 a minute to call your family, and horrific situations where the warden is made responsible for planning food, and also given the rule that whatever they don't spend of the meal budget they get to personally keep, which results in inmates eating a slice of american cheese on two slices of bread twice a day for most days.

The punishment of prison should be entirely limited to losing your independence and the dignity that comes with it. It should literally be like childhood "time out". These are still human beings and we owe it to them to treat them like people, they just need to be silo'd off from society for a bit sometimes.
I feel like the odd one out on windows 11. I actually quite like it, and the UI changes it brings. I also approve of how well they've integrated wsl2. It's been making many aspects of developing for both windows and linux much less painful.

I don't like how much content it grabs from the internet on things like the menu bar and the start menu...but that's about my only gripe with it.

I say this as someone that grew up using linux and gnome 1.4, 2.0, 3.0, having gone through various other desktop environments andwindow managers like enlightenment, kde, openbox, fluxbox, xmonad, etc. and abbreviating microsoft to "m$". I don't like microsoft as a corporation, and I'm no fanboy. but it seems nicer to use than what I've seen in the linux world. I definitely like it more than macOS.

Sometimes windows can still feel cluttery, but I'm very happy with how they allow easily snapping windows to current positions/sizes.

I generally am only using firefox, clion/goland/emacs (in wsl2), and various games though. So maybe I'm just getting a limited experience. I also use it on a very beefy machine (12 core amd ryzen 9 3900xt, 128gb ram, 2x2tb nvme, gtx 3060). It could be on more average hardware that it's a terrible experience.

Maybe they do, but this article is about prosecuting a type of tax fraud by some intermediaries.

It shouldn't affect honest contractors working with honest companies.

(Unfortunately, the article gave me the impression of risk to contractors who don't know they've been working with a fraudulent umbrella company. Hopefully not.)
I've been in one of the "Big 4" Consulting firms, and I can vouch for the article. As a "Senior" the Customer is charged 150-160$/hour and on top of that 25% for travel. The work that we did for these customers was lackluster. We used to come in as "experts", get all the technical work done from body shops in India and offshore. I was shocked to see that Customers just keep paying for these expensive services, and have no clue they are getting hoodwinked.
That just makes things easier for the legitimate humans to differentiate themselves as being a cut above.

Excited to see AccessKit. Finally a performant backend among other things for screen readers and voice control.

In addition, python bindings would make it much more accessible as the code base solidifies towards production.

I haven’t touched Windows 11—no big reason to. The fact Windows 10 will never get better is pushing me to give ChromeOS a shot on my next hardware refresh, and ChromeOS + it’s Linux VM support will likely seal the deal as my next OS going forward.
Retribution isn't part of the system. To deter future crimes is and could be used.
Same ones I'd pick out as the "bad" releases, as someone using Windows since 3.1. 10's kinda a dud, too, though. If 7 supported newer hardware (or, vice versa, rather) I'd still be on that. 10's got WSL2 and... not much else going for it, and even that's not really a normal-user feature.
Because societies function very differently in a dense & community driven country like India vs sparse nuclear nations like the US.

Once you reach a certain level of density, be that most of India or east-coast American cities, you have to rely on public services to facilitate most things in your life. The Govt. already has indirect financial veto power on you. This won't change anything the Govt. is already able to do everything that you claim CBDCs will facilitate.

Note that 90+% of India operates in a permanent survival mindset. All positives associated with libertarianism are much higher on Maslow's pyramid. These people are on the bottom rung, so the rights citizens would have to forfeit as part of CBDCs feel trivial.

Second, India is a low trust society. So, anything that increases tracking, surveillance and transparency is welcome. Trustless systems are welcome. Cash is easy (to launder) and cash is simple (to hide). The elimination of cash adds significant barriers to the most important facilitator of the low trust economy : cash.
Sounds great, now will try to make ChatGPT convert the code to work with Firefox.
That's because federal regulations in the US require that eggs be washed and refrigerated prior to selling at grocery stores. On the one hand, this decreases the risk that the egg will get contaminated if someone cooks an unwashed egg, but it also means that it no longer has the protective coating on the shell that unwashed eggs have.

That said, I don't think there have been egg related deaths since a raw egg eating competition years ago.
Just to be clear, I am not in any way defending the CDC’s botching the understanding that COVID’s primary means of spreading is airborne. I just remember reading about this on social media, including Zeynep’s many posts, without ever seeing those moderated. Given the general tenor of this post, I suspect that the author might have been lumping reasonable claims many experts supported in with more speculative claims.
afterthought: Author can go ahead and add this thread to list of supporting docs. :-P we're doing all the work fighting over study itself that we'll bury any idea of censored speech.
They do have special "elephant guns" that take large diameter ammunition for hunting large, thick hide animals like elephants.

But your point is valid. Ammunition is easier to acquire and/or make yourself.

All specs are available here [0]. Even if you compare different sizes the 14" M1 is still just ~230g heavier than the 13" Intel. At the same size (13") the differences are what I put above. "More than 0.5kg" means almost half the weight of the laptop. You need a 16" M1 Pro to get there.

> They do a job, they have known limitations, and you can use them deliberately.

I think you're severely underplaying this (as many other commenters are). Google, Wikipedia and a dusty leather almanac are, for typical use cases, mostly right - and when they are wrong, they're wrong in specific ways you can quickly learn to spot and correct for. The output of GPTChat, or Copilot, is mostly wrong. Sometimes overtly, usually subtly, almost always randomly wrong. And since the problem domain is open-ended, you can't just make the GPT-3 output right by logically inverting it - there are many more possible wrong answers the model could give you than there are right answers.
You can't just go around running expensive government programs on the basis of there being no proof that they don't help, that would lead to an infinite number of programs and a huge disincentive to run those studies.
Lifetime generally tends to mean lifetime of the product, otherwise a developer needs to support the software until everyone who bought it is dead.

Real question: how would this be meaningfully different from the internet today? Whether it’s social media, forums or “respectable” sources like news media, it’s probably best to assume 80% or more of what you read online is self referential rumors and hearsay with little more factual backing than the Top Ten Animal Facts on the back of your breakfast cereal box with fact number 5 being about how many spiders you eat every year in your sleep.
On one hand, I admire the US system where a class lawsuit can punish even the largest corporations, like here.

Well-edited video. Cannot state how infuriating it is when the exact piece I'm stuck on is jumped over with a time cut.

Ok on a further look, I think I understand what happened. You linked directly to https://height.app/product/automations, but I and probably others who see this post would have thought that it was the base URL, ie your product was an automation software. It's like if (assuming people didn't know what Stripe was) Stripe had a Show HN for the URL https://stripe.com/payments/elements, people would click it and assume, "hey this Stripe thing looks like it helps customize payment UIs," not understanding that this is just one part of the main Stripe app.

It also doesn't help that there aren't any breadcrumbs [1] in either your site or Stripe's to show that this is a feature of the app.

For Show HNs, you can add text as well as a URL, and I think you should have done that to explain that this Show HN is for launching a new feature of an existing app, rather than the main app itself.

A programming language with a syntax and semantics (mostly) derived from Algol, such as Eiffel, C++/Java, or Python.

No doubt, and it does suck that some people get caught up in it. It’s also lame that they prevent you from playing single player, but I’d guess this is to make engine exploit development more expensive and time consuming. I do think that they should have a manual review appeal, not sure how that would work without undermining the anti-cheat or being extremely invasive.

I honestly hate that I’m defending Acti-bliz, they rake in hoards of cash and become more predatory every year. Recently they downgraded and deleted my favorite game, giving it one of the worst monetization schemes in PC. But cheating is a serious issue, I have abandon a number of games because cheating at my skill level became too common.
Agree, with the nuance that I think the psychology at WHO / CDC / etc is probably focused on existing smokers who may choose not to (try to) quit because of data like this ("WHO says I should keep smoking!")

But there are going to be misinterpretations and bad outcomes no matter what. So I'd err on the side of honesty and integrity, and perhaps trying to mitigate harm by producing data on, say, life expectancies for smokers who quit today versus those who don't, and (presumably) the data that says it's still way better to quit. And if the data doesn't support that, well, data is data.

There might be something in what you are saying but it's not really like that.

The current macOS is humungous, kernel aside. There is a variety of systems running under the hood (Spotlight, fsevents, Apple Events, duet, launchd, MIGs, XPCs, caches, endless network services, launch services, anti-malware background programs, AppleID agents, diagnostics, cloud/AppleID integration, auditing, RAM compression, energy management, backups, filesystem snapshotting, COW,.... not to mention that huge OS inside the OS that is the browser) that is more than a surgeon can know about the human body.

Of course most of that is spying on you and telemetry... But you just have much more features these days and stability and security increased a lot. If that is not added value for you just work on one of those "minimal" OSes that appear from time to time. I guarantee you that you will miss a modern "bloaty" OS in no time.
Not going to bother recapitulating the usual counterpoints,

except to mention a particularly egregious recurring oversight in analyses like this:

the (erroneous) presumption that what AI tools are going to do is what their designers (mostly) had in mind, which is, making existing processes/workflows/products but in some variety of "better" (or at least quicker, or, automatible, or, fungible) ways.

What these systems do more which is much more interesting, important, and influential on any real time scale,

is allow for new processes workflows and products.

I'm no more concerned that AI image generators are going to "swamp" the world with their output than I am that the mimeograph is going to swamp bookshelves with fanfic.

What they do in video, and AR, in responsive realtime, though? Now that might be interesting.

PSA it already is.
It's also worth noting that it seems infrequent for companies to move mature products to a different cloud.

My preference is for agnostic tech, but there's a fair chance of YAGNI for the flexibility. If some proprietary tech simplifies your operations, consider whether you'll actually get hurt investing in it.
lol. yes. Specifically, the whole cloud sign in SUCKS
Does anyone else find this baffling as an avenue of exploration to begin with?

The health impacts of a 30 year old healthy male smoking tobacco massively outweigh what coronavirus would do to them in 99.9 percent of cases, likely higher.

It feels a bit like saying you could reduce your chance of toe cancer by amputating your toe. Theoretically sure, if you're already in a wheelchair, why not, no toes required.

But that's a niche line of enquiry.
“Airborne” and “aerosols” are not synonyms. You’re right about aerosols but the question above is whether we knew that the virus traveled in a manner that a mask could interfere with. That includes short-range droplets, not just aerosols.

We knew very early on that droplets were likely and that masks could block many droplets. The question was whether the mask would itself become a major vector in the process.
The reality is, there is no apparent limit to the side effects of monetary policy. If they attempted to quantify all of them, they’d never be able to do anything, good or bad.

So, they look at the ones that have historically caused the biggest issues and are causing the most obvious pain right now, make changes that hopefully give others time to adapt to without catastrophic issues, and cross their fingers.

If the things that explode are within the scope and scale expected? Then success.

If not? Try to figure out what happened, and try to do better next time.

There is no ‘good’ decisions in these situations, even doing nothing has major costs. It’s about the least bad decision, and trying to avoid taking on unnecessary risk and hence unnecessary pain.

so far CDS’s are a potential problem, but not as big of a known historic problem as economy wide out of control inflation.

So, off we go.

It’s easy to make ChatGPT admit to a mistake and provide an explanation for its mistake, even if it didn’t actually make a mistake. It still just follows the “what response would sound plausible here” route, without actually understanding that it made (or didn’t make) a mistake. Often enough, if you return to the original problem statement, it will equally return to its incorrect logic.

Its largely what happened to windows CE/etc too. They could have had a much larger part of the phone pie, but they literally would throw everything away every year or so and start over.

Which is such an odd behavior from a company who's main product didn't win because it was the best, or most ubiquitous, but because they maintained a religious amount of backwards compatibility for 15+ years while steadily improving the product.

I believe where I disagree with you is the basically "understood" part. I don't think ChatGPT and the current models understand anything at all. Not in a way thats not fundamentally flawed and would require a complete new approach. I am hopeful that it can evolve into an incredible knowledge indexing tool but I am very hard pressed to believe it can do anything other than that at the moment.

ATM, im not sure if intentional or because it just can't do it, it just gobbles it all and spits out the mashup without knowing from where things got there, so it cant give me references.

I still think it can be very useful as it can point me to the general direction where I can copy and google stuff about its responses on subjects I know nothing about, though im not sure how much better that would be than googling it directly.

The way I see it, it still a very good simulation, just like a GCI lighting before ray tracing, very good at looking convincing but nothing underneath is actually reproducing the real thing.

I've heard that curing internal myopia is a top priority for McKinsey this decade. Focus is on broadening gender/age/economic background and also broadening professional experience backgrounds.

They're hiring and developing a lot of top talent in "hard skills" (e.g., not MBA's) across different industries. From what I've been able to tell, it's paying off a lot with strategies that are grounded in reality and catching things that non-technical people would miss.

Really depends on the team you get assigned to your project though, as with any contracting/consultant situation.
Botulinum toxin is even less heat resistant than that. Five minutes at 185 F will take care of it. Though boiling would certainly get the job done.

No it isn't. Taxes don't go into the president's pocket.
A managed kubernetes offering from Hetzner would be great. If they added managed databases, maybe even a managed shared filesystem (rwx volumes or something similar to Google filestore) then they would knock it out of the park...
The only legal effect of mandatory helmet laws are that black and homeless people will get a ticket when they get into an accident, even if the accident wasn't their fault (but then it certainly becomes their fault).
Fully 1/2 of these are fixes for things they have broken in the past 20 years... The dark mode support might actually be at the level of windows 3.1 now.

A 20 year old Honda civic is hardly a gas guzzler. Under real driving conditions cars that are being sold new today have about the same emissions and fuel consumption as cars 20 years ago, with the exception of very large v8 engines and models like the The Suburban and the H2.
