Community theaters may have trained people in its management, but the cast and crew are usually untrained. Even reading Stanslavski once puts you ahead of most.

If you're looking at a regional theater (the kind where they actually pay people, albeit a pittance and most of the actors have day jobs), there will usually be a community theater in the area. If there's enough of an audience to support a regional theater, there will be others who want to do it just for fun.

Even if they don't have a place in the cast, they will often need techs of various kinds: lights, sound, props, costumes, stage management. It's a lot easier to cast somebody that you know can do things like "show up on time" and "be responsible". Actors... yeah. Even non-professionals.

(Bonus: I still use a light board with an actual floppy disk. The thing it replaced is literally a box of dimmer switches that they call Old Sparky. It's still in the closet. Theaters are fun places.)

Some areas really don't have community theaters. Mine had plenty, but I did actually start a theater of my own on shockingly little experience. Rent a performance venue, find a place to rehearse, get a script, put some notices on the relevant Facebook groups, and get ready for some Drama!

Keurig “parts that contact the beverage do contain BPA”
Let's not forget about the idea that ISPs would distribute a /56 range to residential users. You could split it in /64 ranges according to your requirements and everything would work fine.

There is only one "minor" issue: all major ISPs in my country ( Brazil ) only provide a single /64. You can't get another /64 unless you upgrade to a very expensive business plan.

That makes IPv6 not only useless but also a huge security issue.

1) I can't use my Mikrotik as a firewall. Trying to split a /64 range breaks things and some devices ( specially IOT ones ) will simply not work.

2) Routers provided by the ISPs here are very limited, specially for things like firewall rules. Some of them will only provide a On/Off switch, with Off option between the default one.

Although IPV4 + NAT had some issues, it ( accidentally? ) created a safe/sane default config for non-technical users. In order to open a port and expose a device, you have to explicitly add a rule on the firewall.

IPv6 is the other way around. In practice, all devices and ports are exposed unless you explicitly block it.

In the last 3 years I've noticed criminals focusing more and more on IPv6 scans to compromise devices and create botnets since it's much easier to find exposed/unpatched devices as most users don't understand how to correctly configure a firewall.

Most of the time, the only viable solution is to disable IPv6.
This looks very useful! I wish there were something similar for ZFS.
We just finished a project where we spec'd catphones for a remote rugged data collection system.

The Cat42 is based on a mediatek chipset and gave us "meh" performance. BT/BLE was underwhelming compared to other phones. I'd recommend something like an Cat53 or 62 with Qualcomm guts instead.
Meanwhile, I haven't spent thousands of dollars on a home cinema, because I have neither the room, time, or spare cash to buy a giant 4k TV, really good internet, 37 independent streaming services at their max tier, $14 a pop to buy a movie on a streaming service, etc etc etc.

$20 to see a movie on a local 50ft IMAX screen is such an incomparable experience.

Very interesting. Does this imply (assuming these jets have been occurring for a very very long time) that we'd be able to see the consequences of other jets in other galaxies/planets? Said another way, have we ever observed something that could actually have been "... some other galaxy waltzing into it"?
>Our goals are to maximize profits while minimizing cost, so we end up building $10m houses out of shitty plywood and fake bricks glued on the fascade.

I think claiming that building things to a budget is some kind of unsophisticated Nouveau riche mentality is overlooking the experience of the vast majority of people. The US median household income (usually two people) is $78,075. The majority of people don't have the resources to care about satisfying your aesthetic requirements.

Plywood and vinyl and 2x4s are inexpensive and good enough, a combination that is generally exactly the optimal solution when you're considering personal survival. Sophistication is a luxury that doesn't come for free.
In the pandemic I got a lot more sensitive to ‘disgusting’ and the thought of people making dirty popcorn and coke messes makes it hard for me to go back to the theatre. It is going to take something really special to get me to go. I wish they had real 3D IMAX movies at the theatre in Syracuse instead of ‘4d’ movies that seem really cheesy.

The Trump admin and Republicans rolled back a ton of clean air regulations: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/climate/trump-envir...

"The bulk of the rollbacks identified by the Times were carried out by the Environmental Protection Agency, which weakened Obama-era limits on planet-warming carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and from cars and trucks; removed protections from more than half the nation’s wetlands; and withdrew the legal justification for restricting mercury emissions from power plants."
> I mention this because your post suggested that employers were required to do more

I'm sorry my post suggested that -- it was not intentional. As you note, employers have no monetary obligations to former employees under COBRA.

My intent was to offer a reason why Plaid, having decided to give employees money towards health care, would opt for cash vs extending the Plaid's existing policy to cover non-employees.

Totally get the rantyness. My experiences with COBRA have not been great either and your points are good ones.
I think your iPhone is the dedicated Apple hardware in this case

Despite trying these tools many times, I still find myself just running `du -sm * | sort -g`. It works and it's easy to pipe to grep, etc.
Right, but as one of those "anyone" who has been to an elite university, I'm giving my two cents.
> You'd still have to touch every rule to to tweak the mask.

No you wouldn't. 0.0.0.0.1.0.0.0/40 and 1.0.0.0/8 are the same thing. If the rule says 1.0.0.0/8 then the router converts it to 0.0.0.0.1.0.0.0/40. If you happen to have 1/8 as your rule, then an easy fix is to say ip4+ translates shorthand rules at ipv4 if the mask is under /32.

> What makes you think that companies would have been willing to make the effort to deploy "IP4+" any more than IPv6?

Because when they went to upgrade their router, as they often do every decade, it would just support IP4+ with no config changes on their end. They would pull their config from their old router and it would just work.

Then they would discover they had IP4+ support and maybe start using it.

The reason it is easier is because it's a small incremental change.

The famous French author Guy de Maupassant hated the Eiffel Tower so much that he ate lunch exclusively in the restaurant there because "it was the place in Paris where you couldn't see the Eiffel Tower."

It's beautiful in many way, certainly iconic and has grandfathered its way into our idea of Paris, but I understand Maupassant and I think if they built it today, I would feel the same way.
There are a lot of demonstrably false factual claims in this article. I will just pick this one: that renters move more often than in the past. This is completely false. The Census CPS Geographic Mobility by Tenure table indicates that in 2021, renter-occupied households who moved in the past year stood at just 16% of all renter households. This figure stood at 34% in 1988 and almost monotonically declined since. Renter mobility stands at an all-time low. In fact, you can easily argue that it is the lack of mobility, rather than hypermobility, that may be contributing to ugly architecture. Tenants without choices are unable to discriminate on aesthetic grounds.

Subjectively, I also disagree with the implication that "perma-class of renters" is somehow bad. The author appears to have been poisoned by the distinctly anglo-american idea that occupying your own home is for some reason a good thing. In Vienna, only 7% of people occupying a home they also own. Everyone I know agrees that Vienna is superior in every respect, including architectural merit, to any American city.

Show HN: Web Search Powered by GPT and Bing
We built a search engine interface on top of OpenAI GPT 3.5 and Microsoft Bing that summarizes and cites top search results in response to natural language questions.

By using search results, the AI is able to reference recent news and provide citations for specific facts. Our interface offers concise answers, without having to click through links, scroll past irrelevant content, or read ads. No login is required; no personal data is collected.

We believe in the power of combining the intuitive UI of web search with the intelligence of large language models. The search engine does indexing work and interpretation is made by the LLM (a la OpenAI WebGPT https://openai.com/blog/webgpt/). We are also working on using LLMs to reword queries before searching and to make searches more conversational.

Additionally, we are building new features that allow you to curate the result of your query, e.g., by omitting references that are not relevant and expanding the list of references that are relevant. New references could be added either “breadth-first” (include more results from the original query) or “depth-first” (summarize more content from one of the pages in the search results and find related links).

Curious what the community thinks, and what features come to mind when you use this interface.

>Is it the grades that decide admission or the number if steps removed from the Premier?

First off, the premier is not the leader of China. Second, while I can imagine that members of the Politburo could get their children in, and perhaps some others with power, this doesn't extend so far out. The CCP has tens of millions of members, more than 99% of them are irrelivant. If that kind of scandle would be revealed it would end their career. It is much safer to send their children abroad: something that Xi Jinping did for his daughter (and Kim Jong Il did for Kim Jong Un). That is what I imagine more likely. Additionally it would be easier to just get them a good job with a degree from a worse college (In their own or their freinds comapny). If you have any evidence otherwise I wouldn't be surprised per se but I think a source for your claim is needed.

I did not kept track of every experiment, just saying that if you do make a new opcode in QOI that encode a predictor with a few bits + a few bits of diff, then it's hard to make an improvement at all. It's easier if you remove the 8-bit boundaries constraint.

I think arguing that assembly is an abstraction is going the wrong direction on why it is hard. Assembly largely forces numerical abstraction on your problem. Which is a lot harder to reason about than folks want to acknowledge.

That is, higher level languages let you get farther away from the abstraction that is the computer itself. As such, you can have a less abstract program in a language that has higher abstraction away from the execution environment.
Labor supply scans linearly if nothing else changes. Being that 100+ years ago people were not building computers, or making money producing minecraft videos, or one of any number of tasks that may pay more than flourishing housing.

And you managed to ignore the millions and millions of houses that were close to 'dirt hut' and 'a bunch of sticks leaned together' that have been the more typical means of living for humanity.

And that ignored that until 1900ish population grew very slowly meaning that multigenerational housing was more feasible.

"Everything has changed, why hasn't the world stayed the same" -- this article
It is true. Abstraction means that you dont have to worry about some lower level concerns. With computers, the rabbit hole goes quite deep.

High-level language (C/python)
Assembly language (att/intel)
Byte code
Micro code

So, with assembly code, you dont care about what the actual bytes that get generated are (they can change and you'd never know if the system was backwards compatible). Similarly, if the microcode that the CPU generates to implement the instruction changes youd also never know.

A few months ago I had a silly idea of making a mobile app that used the accelerometer to track the slide motion for playing a virtual trombone. Just wanted to share the story of bringing it to fruition here on hn.

I started out spending a couple days trying to get something cross-platform going in Flutter, but it soon became clear that wasn't the best fit, seeing as I'd need native hooks for most of what the app needed to do, and it wasn't yet clear it'd be possible at all. So I switched to making it an iOS app in Swift. The accelerometer data turned out to be not nearly accurate enough to do the job, so I switched to using the camera/AR using ARKit... and it worked instantly. Like the very first time I hooked up a slider UI element to the distance function. It felt a bit like magic. And also just ridiculous.

Here's a video I recorded to send to some friends at the time:

Anyway, I'm not sure where I'll take it from here. I have some ideas for more AR content like hats, heart eyes, etc. Possibly a song editor so users can add songs that might have issues with copyright if I included them in the app? Any ideas you guys have would be fun to hear.
I grew up very geek in a VERY rural area. I knew that there were places that I could be me, where I could be "country" me, and where I could be me "for adults". I learned that the me what I was, was also super unacceptable once I entered the world of higher education. I had to be "smart" me.

Then in my undergraduate degree, I learned about code switching in the context of Mexican-American children of immigrants. And it hit hard.

I was code-switching, but within dialects inside of one language instead of within languages. I also learned in that class that EVERY student who grew up rural, poor, minority, or anything other than middle- to upper-middle class white had extremely similar experiences. It was absolutely shocking to 20 year old me.

To your point - this article absolutely reads like people who just never learned how to navigate different groups.

I would have agreed fully with you for most of my life, but having now lost half a dozen friends to suicide, I think we're making a big mistake by not talking about it honestly and openly. Not only is it much harder for the friends/loved ones who are left in the dark about what happened, but it misses opportunities for learning and understanding. Most people who have never been ready to kill themselves have no idea what it's like, the hopelessness, the weariness, and worst of all the lies your mind tells you.

I do insist on being classy and respectful, particularly for the family members, but I wish as a society we would talk openly and honestly about these issues instead of high opacity implications.

Even better security would be to allow users into their own devices. This would mean that critical data just wouldn't leave the device via the network.

I felt that the Strossian "Bandwidth Explanation" (from Accelerando, a not-great novel but a cornucopia of ideas) for the Fermi paradox honestly made more sense than just about anything else I've heard.

But here, the backend is a codebase no one enjoys working with and the customer is the C-suite expecting X features this month because X or X-1 features were pushed last month.
