Because of how MVCC is implemented in Postgres. However, it's not terribly hard to add efficient count tracking that works with this implementation of MVCC, using row triggers. I use it often in production.

This might change in the future with the zHeap storage backend.

I'm just trying to get you all to think a bit about effects before suggesting something as radical (for the US) as nationalizing a company. I think it's fairly obvious that going from being a very business/investor friendly country to one that nationalizes a major company for delaying passengers is going to shake confidence in foreign creditors to the US.

There are over a billion racially black (by recent sub-Saharan African descent) people in the world. “Literally millions” is tenths of a percent of that population—quite rare.

You can nationalize the infrastructure without nationalizing the operations upon it.

Many other countries use a system where one government-related entity manages in the infrastructure, and many private companies can pay to operate rail services on that infrastructure.

This would actually allow market competition instead of geographic monopolies.
No but they lock it down via MDM so it's basically junk now.
All i see is a list of bullet points? We have got to stop this OOP stuff. Its why so much of the modern software stack is slow and bloated while 2 guys are in the basement are writing everything in arrays and structs trying to make 30 million lines of OOP run fast.
Yes, and none of the styles are original or yours. This will become transparent and undesirable. There's no threat to humans who can do their own research and come up their own novel analyses and conclusions. Folks who can't do that? Well, it might help them churn out crap.

Printers need to do what mobile phones do, e.g.

$200 for printer get whatever ink

$100 for printer, $100/year for 3 years ink contract

Then they have their cake (cheap upfront price) and eat it (without needing DRM shit cat and mouse games)
Haha didn't even fully recognize that. But I guess it's a semi decent example of using chatgpt in ways that makes sense to you and your flow, even if that's being too wordy and polite.
I have an older Brother HL-3070. Main issue is that when printing files of certain complexity, they print fine if I do it under Windows but it takes sometimes 5 minutes to render each sheet if doing it under Linux. Not sure if it is due to the printer's age, or what. The replacement printer is a new er HP M283 which hasn't had this issue. (I finally had to replace the Brother due to color streaking, even with replacing the drums and new toner cartridges, plus the toner was getting hard to find).
Could be? Whicb game?
But as far as I know there is no enforcement action taken when the freight railroads violate that priority.

Just curious - do you house the homeless in the spare spaces in your dwelling? If not, how can you comment on what others ought to be doing and their hearts?
I did a quick detect on some your older posts: found this one from a year ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27568715 with 65 tokens and 99.14% fake. A quick googling shows sentences to be unique. GPT2 released on February 2019, so it would be nice to find older examples than that.

Of course, does the detector have problems when text from its training corpus is used? No idea.

Maybe your brain is just closer to an ideal GPT model than some others of us?

I assume the more clichés and boiler plate you write, that the GPT-like detection of fakes increases. However although I have played with the idea a little, I haven’t yet managed to get detected as very fake. Must try harder.
Both of which are, like helping fugitive slaves, virtuous acts.
Agreed. Brother (laser) printers are extremely reliable in my experience too. I’ve been using them for close to 20 years now.

HP probably would have been my only other choice if/when I have to replace my superb (and crazy cheap) Brother B&W laser but after reading this post I will never go near HP printers again.

Edit: just read about Brother’s nasty firmware update elsewhere in the comments here. Sigh. I guess I’ll just have to stop buying printers altogether.
If those are the only complaints you have about Next then they’re doing great.
It's a two part story: they work.

The second part is the bad part: they work so well that diabetics who actually need them can struggle to find stocks.

I tend to think that meds like these should stop being IPR a lot sooner. They are going to all sell for a long long time. Instead of an immediate ROI on the undoubtedly heinous development R&D costs they should be a 50+ year money stream at a lower profit rate, or preferably none.

This is also why I think state funded drug development is needed.

Anthony Fauci: A Message to the Next Generation of Scientists
Satire/comedy helps me cope with the world. For me, his stories are a nice balance of story, pragmatism, stoicism, fantasy, whimsy, and most of all satire. I particularly love his dialog. I have been searching (in vain) for whimsical/clean satire that helps me cope since Pratchett’s passing.

I second the suggestion to give one a go. Pratchett is not for everyone though. I encouraged my office mate to read Going Postal; he liked it so so, but declined to read another. My flight instructor liked small gods at first, but then didn’t; he wanted to dissect it too literally. I think it bothered him that it didn’t validate his view point as an atheist, instead flirting with many of Pratchett’s common satire of organized religions. My son loved every Sam Vimes book, but didn’t care as much for the others. A good friend tried one, was ok with it, and then read Hogfather, after which he said “give me every one of these that has Death in it.” My daughters really enjoyed Tiffany Aching, I had read Maskerade earlier to them, but only when they did finish Tiffany Aching did they really want more of the witches. My opera trained daughter now counts Maskerade as one of her favorites. As others have pointed out, his earlier works are more whimsical (think Monty Python or Hitchhikers Guide). Near the end of his life, Raising Steam was sadly predictable in its plot as a “tying things up” song. Me personally, I didn’t care for the Rincewind novels, until I watched one of the BBC adaptations, the one with Jeremy Irons, and now I even like the Rincewind/Twoflower/Cohan books. My wife thinks they are all eye rollingly silly and wonders why we get so excited about them.

Which is meant to be a long winded way of illustrating that you may have to poke around a little to find the satire and/or personalities that really resonate with you.

If you’re looking for something that has the closest connection with programmer geek culture, then I suspect Going Postal with its satire on who controls the flow of information (e.g. the web), it’s “code shifters” and the “Smoking GNU”.

Correction: thirteen major versions ago, approx. thirteen years ago. 9.x were all major releases.
But they provide that same service reasonably evenly across the whole country, your zip code is the same 'value' as any other. In plenty of remote places you could easily call USPS extremely high quality service, perhaps even delivering by horse which a private company would never do without high cost

Quoting from his (Jim Fixx) wiki article:

In 1986 exercise physiologist Kenneth Cooper published an inventory of the risk factors that might have contributed to Fixx's death.[6] Granted access to his medical records and autopsy, and after interviewing his friends and family, Cooper concluded that Fixx was genetically predisposed—his father died of a heart attack at 43 after a previous one at 35,[7] and Fixx himself had a congenitally enlarged heart—and had an unhealthy life: Fixx was a heavy smoker before beginning running at age 36, had a stressful occupation, had undergone a second divorce, and gained weight up to 214 pounds (97 kg).[8] Medical opinion continues to uphold the link between moderate exercise and longevity.[9]
Detecting GPT generated content will take a fairly large language model to be reliable. Obviously this would need to be run in the cloud. Considering Apple's stance on privacy, sending private correspondence to the cloud is a huge no-no for them. Nobody is gonna implement GPT detection, atleast for emails.
I would characterise it differently. The aspect of financial repression that hurts the middle classes the most is letting inflation run. This is because they tend to have cash assets and their way of life is in many ways predicated on the idea that working hard ensures a certain buying capacity. It is also hard for them to move to Panama, for many obvious reasons. It is more that in the current world, there are many options for moving money around, so it harder for a government to ensure they have a captive audience for financial repression in terms of cash reserves.

I am not critiquing financial repression. It is probably the only feasible way to reduce government debt compared to say austerity measures. We would all be better off if economic growth could overcome government debt, but the Eurozone lacks the demographics to make this happen. Italy in particular is a basket case in that regard. One point to make however, is that the severe degree of inflation in Europe seems at least partly due to asinine energy policy. If that had been better handled, then the pain wouldn't be so great. Europeans may therefore be less happy to accept inflation denuding their lifestyles as an 'inevitable' condition of living in social welfare states.
Most interaction with USPS is at (residential) mailboxes. Sure, post office service is not great but they do a decent job of moving letters, post cards, and packages in a relatively timely manner - and the service for letters and postcards is damn cheap. In now remote / rural areas of the US, no for profit company would bother providing service, as it is wouldn't be profitably - but USPS serves everyone.
First it had to be accomplished, then they can work on getting the price down
How is that zero cost? There's a blatantly obvious opportunity cost when you remove the associative and commutative properties.
It’s not possible to completely disable 2FA with paid Google domain accounts either. I’ve explicitly turned off 2FA for my paid Google account and it continues to ask me to type a text code or YouTube code.

Each of the four fingers on a hand has three phalanges, and thus three joints (not counting the thumb). That makes it easy to count to 12 on one hand, using the thumb to track which you're on. (I vaguely recall from school that this coms from Mesopotamia, but don't have a reference.)

Are you talking about Conrail?

Because Conrail was created because the private railway system was collapsing due to mismanagement, and many railroad companies were going bankrupt. After nationalization Conrail quickly turned into a huge success, and was sold off to private investors after a decade for a massive profit.

If anything, privatization was the best thing that had happened to the railways in decades. And that's not exactly a one-time-thing only - the railways were previously also nationalized during WWI, which had a similar success.
Why? Double Irish is a classic example. Countries can conduct business in one location and pay tax in another.

I have a Brother HL3075CW color laser and scanner combo that's just under 10 years old. I've replaced the toner only once. I may not print much, but color is nice to have and not that expensive unless you print a lot.

Tangentially, can we talk about old printers being too scary to connect to the network? No firmware upgrades ever. I've been thinking of setting up a RPi or something as a bastion host and print&scan server, preventing direct traffic.
Fraud does not need a contract. My understanding is that it has three elements: First, the perpetrator has to provide a false statement as a material fact. Second, the perpetrator had to have known that the statement was untrue. Third, the perpetrator had to have intended to deceive the victim.
Also, many Samsung printers are now under HP.

What type of file was the export? Did it include one or multiple tables of data? What tools did you use to analyze it? Just asking out of random curiosity.
Nope. It can get exchanged at some current rate; if they allow it.

Not exactly related, but in my opinion, the quality of software has decreased in recent years. This is not unexpected.
Money well spent, just think of the damage these could do if unpatched. These types of events are a great investment for the companies.
In response to the multiple people asking if base editing and CRISPR are the same, the answer is: not quite. Same idea, different enzyme.

The enzyme used by CRISPR is Cas9 (which is why you'll often see it referred to as CRISPR-Cas9), which acts like a pair of molecular scissors and cuts strands of DNA at a specific point in the genome.

Base editing is a newer technique and utilizes an enzyme called deaminase, which can change the chemical structure of a base pair without doing the "cutting" part. There are specific deaminases based you use depending on which base pair you're trying to modify.

To oversimplify a bit: base editing is a more precise version of CRISPR, which is less likely to cause more changes than actually desired, as is a problem with CRISPR. That doesn't make CRISPR obsolete though, because if your goals actually is to remove entire portions of a genome, CRISPR is a more effective technique. Regardless, there is a lot of overlap between the methods: both usually use adenoviruses as the delivery vehicle, you can use both enzymes in tandem, etc.
Twitter censors liberals and leftists all the time. They just don't raise aa big of a stink about it as conservatives. Part of it is working the refs and part is the large increase in racist and conspiracy theories among right wing people in recent times.
There is a reason why modern UI frameworks like SwiftUI or Jetpack Compose look more like React rather than pure HTML/CSS/JavaScript. And it is not because iOS and Android can’t run WASM.
I use a brother colour laser and I am happy with it. I am an occasional user: kids play and the occasional signature scan.

I don’t have much to say about it, it works, official ink is expensive but fake cartridges work ok. Also refill kits exist but when used on non-fakes it still thinks the cartridge is “empty”. So shitty practices but there are reasonable workarounds.

Having to ecycle cartridges bugs me though. Seems stupid.
Who says solar energy can possibly get that cheap?

If you are skeptical of carbon capture being mandated by regulations then I think you should be equally if not more skeptical of the market restructuring itself so renewable energy based petroleum substitution becomes a reality spontaneously. It makes no sense economically or politically.
ChatGPT is really very simple. Imagine you could analyze a million books and identify all the words within them -- not the meanings of the words, just the actual letters they contain.

Now, when someone asks you about the history of France (or why the sky is blue), you could simply pluck out of your library the most common strings of word that seem to follow the words that were in your question!

It's like a kid in the 80's who thinks the answer to an essay question is to copy it from an encyclopedia, only the "encyclopedia" is very large and contains multiple sources.

So, the big take away needs to be that there is absolutely no understanding, no cognizance of any kind, no language comprehension going on. The answers look good because they contain all the same words as the most popular answers people have already written which the system scanned.

So ChatGPT turns out to great for parsing and summarizing documents, if that's something you need. But, since it doesn't know fact from fiction, it cannot apply logic or math, and it cannot perform reasoning or analysis, it's not good for finding out facts or discerning truth.

Another great failing of LLM software is that the user being spoken to is generic. The answers are not modeled for you, they're the same models for everyone. But a human teacher does their job by being exactly the opposite of this -- someone who is finely tuned to the needs and understandings of their audience. A good journalist or writer does the same.
As somebody that moved from Europe to the USA, I can attest that the USPS is the best postal system I have ever encountered. The service level is far above anything I saw in Scandinavia by a long shot. In Iceland the Postal Service is declining really rapidly, so much so that there isn’t even a post office any more down town in the countries biggest city. Yet in the USA you can get a package delivered to your door in rural Washington, all while sending a mail costs a fraction of what it costs in Scandinavia.
I'm under the probably false assumption that Nolan Bushnell has enough money that bribing him to do something he doesn't believe in would be quite unreasonable.

But really I've got no idea. He doesn't have a history of lending his name to things so he is probably not easily bought. Then again he exited Atari way early and got caught up in the NFT hype so who knows
Funny you say that, because I got the same feeling from MySQL. I mean, dropping data, ignoring constraints, all done silently. A database that cannot keep my data safe is just not a database.

Also FYI most companies in Singapore pay 17% tax, not zero.

And you ask why singapore has good infrastructure, well ~$70k per capita GDP helps these things.
Why is fossil fuel carbon capture likely to be more expensive than atmospheric capture? The CO2 can be captured in a concentrated form directly from an exhaust so surely it has to be more efficient and thus less expensive.
