I feel like, when talking about things which you'd usually expect in large quantity, "a few" means "any less than makes a pile."

E.g. for grains of rice, even 23 or so of them could still constitute "a few grains stuck to the sides of the bowl."

Similarly, in databases, "a few rows" is any amount that's not Big Data ;)
I wonder if Chat GPT's hypnotic ability to slip errors past people would be helpful for seducing, tricking, or fooling people.

An anarchist society would necessarily dismantle hierarchies as they arose in an ongoing manner. If you tried to create capitalism in an anarchist society - that is to say, create a system of private property ownership whereby you could own the means of production and extract the surplus labor of a working class, without participating in the labor - that society should quickly recognize this is an unjust hierarchy that must be abolished to maintain anarchism. I think we have all experienced, living in a capitalist society, that such a system creates a very steep hierarchy where the wealthy have much more power than those without wealth.

Anti-statism is not axiomatic to anarchism, it results from it's opposition to domination and the principle of means-ends unity, and opposing the state is not a sufficient condition for being an anarchist. It's worth noting anarchism was an offshoot of socialism - to say that this is a narrative projected backwards from anarchosocialists is incorrect.
I mean obviously receipts help. and SBF didn’t admit to any intentional wrongdoing publicly.

I rejoined MySpace a few days ago. They are still up and kicking.
The parent says "about five" because you have to choose to say "a handful" over "a few" or "several" or "a dozen or so" or just "many." Five is the sweet spot where none of those other terms apply.
Maybe, maybe not. Anyone still working on 3D TV?
“ A 2018 United Nations study says there are now almost 16,000 desalination plants operating in 177 countries, producing a volume of freshwater equivalent to almost half the average flow over the Niagara Falls. However, the toxic brine which is usually dumped in the sea, risks contaminating food chains if left untreated.”

Given the volume of the oceans compared to average flow of Niagara Falls, the orders of magnitude difference in volumes makes this an insignificant problem, no?

If you dump the wastewater brine offshore a mile or so there may be local concentrations that are polluting but how does this become problematic in the vast open oceans?
"...she’s also scared of taking days off, mainly because she knows it’s a job..."

At risk of sounding cold, why would anyone think YouTube/Twitch is a job?

Honestly confused. Is there money there? Like, for an average person, aside from the platform celebrities?
That seems like an oversimplification of American usage. It certainly doesn’t refer to a K12 teacher, and many people distinguish between adjuncts/instructors and tenure-track professors.

Technically though, one is not a professor until reaching the rank of “full professor”, which typically happens no younger than 40, after being promoted from “assistant professor” to “associate professor” (and then coming up for full several years later).

Assistant professors will say “I am a professor” when asked what they do for a living. But when being introduced at academic conferences they would normally be referred to as “an assistant/associate professor at university X”.

Some of this is inside baseball among academics, but the first paragraph applies pretty widely.

This comment would've made sense 10 years ago, but it doesn't today. The modern gaming landscape is generally incompatible with organic competitive scene development, and really anything else that might be considered "organic". The developers want to have full control over the game, how it's played, when it's played, and who plays it. They don't want anything to develop "organically" without them having a hand in it so they can extract as much profit from it.

> They're games, people play them for fun.

There's another big problem right there: this isn't really true anymore for most multiplayer games. Most that released in the past few years (and some games that were older but were updated) come with dozens of "features" designed to force people to play them even when they don't want to: battle passes, limited time events, endless grinds, etc, this is done to maximize engagement and profit and effectively turns the games into chores rather than something you do for fun. Doesn't help that most of these games weren't really fun in the first place.
Why do things that serve the public need to be profitable? Are roads profitable? Is sewage treatment profitable? Do you maintain that they should be?
This is the first comment I’ve favorited on HN in almost 15 years. I know too many people that deserve the hope you describe. Thank you.
Maryland Takes a Stand Against the College Credential
Before given guidance on expensing when I was a younger and newly hired, they said spend like it is your money, be reasonable. I was a poor kid.

I expensed one subway sandwich and stretched it three meals and felt guilty expensing a snack later in the evening. When they later clarified and said I had $70/day, I realized they have different life experiences for what a person spends. I also ate better than I ever had in my life.
Previous HN post on UC Berkeley position paper on the future of cloud computing:

You can do that. It nets to an inflow of $3 for the operator. and the interchange depending on how they’re registered and what their transaction volume is.

You could just give them $55 in cash if you want. This is just a net to any profit you’d have left from the surcharge revenue. It was irreversible by practically all measures, so no real risk. The only issue I ever saw cause a reversal is a mechanical vend error.

I think the main thing is you have to properly notify the cardholder what shape their outflow will take and that the cash value is the same. At the end of the day, it’s just a vending machine.
Disposable email + Virtual credit-cards

Whenever I need to try some new service online which requires my credit-card(CC), then I make sure that I create account with a disposable email (using iCloud+) and a virtual credit-card (using Revolut) with max allowed spending to 1~2$ configured and use those for that account. As soon as my account (post CC auth charge) is created then I delete my virtual CC so that I am sure that knowingly/unknowingly I won't be charged or spammed.

Once I am sure that I would really like to use that service, then sign-up with my actual email and CC. I simply love this hack and use it extensively.

I'm one of the creators of Skyplane. Skyplane can migrate large datasets between cloud regions at 10s of Gbps while compressing data to reduce egress fees. Happy to chime in!

We, the community. If that bothers you, I’m sorry.
And isn’t the biggest issue with running potentially large jobs in the cloud the cut off when it’s cheaper to use your own hardware. After a few months or dozens of runs of your large model in the cloud you may have reached the point where purchasing would have been cheaper.

Something that could look at your code, data and budget and say upto X runs use cloud A, for more than Y runs it would be cheaper to buy/lease these GPUs etc. would be interesting.
Nothing about this is "nanny state". It's a private corporation making a decision about their own product.
Right! I had a similar thought: the article appeared to be building to an interesting conclusion then ended abruptly... One follow-on paragraph could have easily explored autodidactic methods, through tools like youtube or open online courses, and how they have catalyzed an area of learning that previously didn't exist -- ie easy entry courseware is orthogonal learning model from the traditional education model.

IMHO, the only thing that is going to disrupt higher education in the US is a change in the federal student loan system. Otherwise, the money is going to keep flowing and those institutions will have little motivation to adapt to survive

edit:

Good article! Thanks for sharing
It isn't my fault if you think this site is ugly
Consider an edit to your post since it’s at the top?
What do you mean by capitalism? The sort of more formal idea that ownership of an asset entitles one to the production from that asset? Or the more informal (but widespread) general cluster of ideas around free markets and all that jazz.

I don’t really see how the former could work really well in anarchy. Like hypothetically say you “owned” a workshop that could make something useful for the community, they would probably collectively agree that… they should just walk in and start using it. What next?

On the other hand, it seems to me that the general idea of markets could be used. Like, if there was a community workshop, but you were unusually good at making shoes, and had a workstation at that workshop, presumably nothing would prevent you from trading your shoes to other people. The economic value doesn’t really come from the asset of the workstation in that case, though, it comes from your abilities, right?
For important data, we use ZFS in our shop.
I honestly can't summarize the extra runtime complexity any more clearly than I already have. The original poster was very clear about keeping the runtime complexity down for various well-motivated reasons. They are correct that if you want more runtime support for high-level features, then C is perhaps not the language for you.
It pays for all their food expenses, plus some extra stuff. As I said, the stream has a higher amount of people who donate than usual.

Several years ago, I watched a gaming streamer, even smaller. She lived in Croatia, and just the subs and irregular donations were enough to pay for most of her daily expenses.
company i work for just gives us the prices. choose the location and they tell you how much you can spend on flight on hotel based on current rates. very easy. but we have access to a lot of data.. probably not so easy for other companies to price map the world.
but they could probably at least give specific examples. ritz Carlton no, but something nicer than motel 6... maybe take the median price for hotels within x mile radius and add 10% or whatever, let the employee work it out and if some excessive expense shows up it shouldn't be too hard to work it out by hand to see if they were being unreasonable
Think of what upcoming events relate to your product. Try to launch around a date/event that is relevant so you can get press coverage. Does your product help people with holiday stress, air travel, or snow? Don’t hesitate. Is there a narrative related to Valentine’s Day? Hold off for a bit.

You will likely not get press coverage of your launch. But if there’s an upcoming event you can tie into, it’s worth waiting a month or two to make it official. But you can still launch to beta testers in the meantime!
And easy enough for exchanges to detect if the funds went through a mixer or tumbler and can block or lock the account that has received the tainted funds and will require you to identify yourself via KYC/AML checks and with the authorities.

So no. Using exchanges to swap fiat to crypto especially with large amounts of money is not anonymous or easy and it is certainly possible to demix and untumble the transaction trail with tools like Chainalysis.

Mixers and tumblers only makes it harder to trace, but never impossible.
No it wasn’t. It was basically right in the middle. The prosecutors, who typically ask for something a wide margin higher than realistic asked for 15. Remember this is a federal sentence, so no parole.
This is irrelevant - each shot also requires a highly precision engineered piece of metal called a hohlraum to be destroyed.

With current technology, running an ICF plant would cost literally hundreds of millions of dollars per hour in hohlraums, since a single one costs millions, and you need to shoot several times per minute to produce energy.

That's why ICF is not even close to being a plausible electricity generation technology, so it is only being researched by nuclear weapons research labs like LLNL.
I always thought total comp and base salary would be the compensating signals for title inflation and lateral moves and all those transitions that aren't 1:1. Money is money after all.

Unless something changed, you can enable SMS MFA, add TOTP as a secondary MFA option, then remove SMS to only have TOTP. I did this a couple years ago after someone explained it to me. It is stupid, tedious, and still requires giving up your phone number to Google, but it may help you as it did me.

I also use KeePassXC and have had phone issues in the past, so I hate relying on my phone for anything important (it's also just not as convenient as copy/pasting from KeePassXC).
Launch today.

A lot of founders think "When I launch, all my potential customers will see it that moment". This leads to delaying until it is "perfect" or waiting for the "perfect" moment.

In reality, when you release a few people see your product. And then a week later a few more. And then maybe someone who likes it shares it. You lose nothing by releasing now. The person who sees your product today and thinks "Unfinished and buggy" is not the person that buys your product in a month.

By delaying you lose valuable feedback. Maybe a key feature that takes 30 minutes to implement is missing. Maybe there's a bug that affects real users much more than you thought. You don't know until you have real users.
You really need to give us some more details!

Picovoice runs on almost anything: web browsers, mobile, desktop, single board computers, and microcontrollers. For the platforms that have connectivity (i.e. almost anything aside from microcontrollers), we do call home for license management. This helps us keep the `Free Tier` free for personal users, hackers , and skunkworks projects, but make sure we get paid by enterprise customers with deployments at scale [1]. On a microcontroller like the one in this tutorial, there is NO connectivity option. Hence, in this specific case it is 100% offline with no license management. In other cases voice recognition is 100% offline but the call home for license management needs connectivity.

Thanks for the clarification. After this and Chris's Tweets, sour taste is gone. I've updated my understanding of how MIT licenses work.

The requirements to prove white collar crime are very different. You have to prove the person did the criminal action knowingly. It's not like proving a case for literal bank robbery where you just need to play the tape. Because of this prosecutions of white collar crime tend to take longer. In this case though I suspect that things like discussing your criminal activity in a chat channel called wirefraud tended you accelerate things.
I think that while the ocean is vast, that doesn’t mean it mixes quickly.

If you dump brine, it will stay together as a cloudy salty area for quite a while. No matter where you dump the brine, it will be affecting some ecosystem somewhere.

There are videos of divers moving through different strata of salinities in the ocean, sometimes in caves. It looks as though they’re breaching the water-air layer, but they’re actually coming through a water-water layer of different salt densities.

So dumping in the ocean will still change a local area of ocean to toxic levels of brine concentration.

I’m 100% for desalination, but it’s a tough issue to solve.
That movie was such a huge disappointment. It had a lot of potential, and some great FX and some great acting talent, but the movie overall was really quite terrible.

Yeah, it's not a guarantee. Sorry about your grandpa. However, it is the strongest preventative measure we know about currently.

Just like we know exercise is one of them best things you can do for cardiovascular health as well, but it doesn't mean fit people don't get heart attacks.
No, the hohlraum is, which costs millions of dollars by itself. And it costs so much because it is essentially the piece that handles the synchronization of hitting the fuel pellet perfectly symmetrically. Its also built from solid gold right now, though depleted uranium may also work - either way, the raw material is only a fraction of the cost, the perfection required in achieving its exact shape is the problem.

Open Source Psychedelic Therapy
The urgent need for solutions to critical environmental challenges is well attested, but often environmental problems are understood as fundamentally collective action problems. However, to solve these problems, there is also a need to change individual behavior. Hence, there is a pressing need to inculcate in individuals the environmental virtues — virtues of character that relate to our environmental place in the world. A way of meeting this need, by the judicious, safe, and controlled administration of “classic” psychedelic drugs as a way to catalyze the development of environmental virtues – a form of moral bio-enhancement. This soon will become a reality given Biden has paved the way with suggesting the NDMA will be an FDA licensed medicine by 2024. However the next rate limiting step is the training of people who can administer the medicines. Rick Doblin from MAPS recons 10,000 clinics will be opened which will need at least 100,000 trained healthcare professionals. The has lead some corporate entities to make training which costs in the region of $10,000. The Open Source Psychedelic Therapy Course intends to open this up and offer it to healthcare practitioners for free. We just need 100 starts on Github to apply for OpenCollective funding, can you help us?!?

No, journalists are not behaving like white-hat hackers, and no, this is not comparable to bad crypto in any way. Bad crypto is dangerous and can result in real harm to real people, a chat bot stating real facts about the world that make you uncomfortable cannot.

The journalists just want to clickbait and perpetuate their endless culture war, nothing else.
Did FTX US users have their funds lost as well as FTX global customers prior to bankruptcy proceedings? The way SBF painted the picture I assumed they were two separate entities; would this be in the SEC's purview then?
TOTP can also be used from a PC with something like KeePassXC, and you can have the DB sync to other devices with SyncThing (including your phone where you can access them with KeePassDX). Much better than SMS which really is tied to your phone (or SIM, rather).
The finance sector started this decades ago. A Vice President is just a spreadsheet slinger and there are at least five different kinds of Director.
Besides there's a very extensive history of state procescutors offering deals to co-conspirators early on. Even in obvious sure things they've sided on the safest possible option.

It probably reflects the inherent risk-aversion that comes with a gov lawyer job.

A more balanced tolerance to risk is often missing from much of gov policy making. Probably has a lot to do with people who care more about highly visible and immediate prosecutions to satisfy the public > balanced long-term justice. Politics selects for that. You see the same thing happen on social media where emotions reign king.

What's the total value (say, in USD) of cryptocurrency wallets kept on exchanges vs. self-custodied?
There is a name for it: revolving door. This how legally permitted corruption reproduces itself in the USA. There is a prosecutorial discretion. Except for prosecuting mafias (RICO is useful), it is very hard to prove collective culpability in any large company--that's why many executives are off the hook.

What appears to be unethical to the public (revolving door) is legally permitted. Basically, it is a collusion between DOJ/SEC/IRS employees, and ex-DOJ/SEC/IRS employees
