You can't always excuse bad things with "market forces". We have prohibited child labor. Otherwise "market forces" would also motivate poor children to work in coal mines. We could mandate reasonable sick day and vacation policies. We shouldn't accept exploitation of people who are willing to take a job.
It may be from 2021 but we have been playing Stella a lot lately.

It is (I think) a more strategic variant of the game Dixit and it is played with the same cards, so if you already own Dixit, you can use it as an extension to Stella and vice versa. The idea is that you have a randomly selected word and 15 randomly selected cards with surreal illustrations face up on the table. Each player has to chose a certain number of cards that he thinks represent the word. If you are the only one to pick a card, you lose, if someone else picked the same card, you both win points.
He’s instigated death threats against Fauci.

No one asked either of them to be public figures. They can go away whenever they want. Their status is not an immutable law of reality and humanity tends to have a history of not giving a toss about being helicoptered by self aggrandizing individuals.

The data is available real time by law elsewhere. He’s not routing around anything, just trying to insulate himself from consequences of his actions, and cement his genius by flailing around like the party drug using, half wit he actually is.
I'd encourage you to read the full post[1]. First, this is very clearly talking about private information, and a concert or performance is public. There's also a whole lot of nuance, for instance...

>We also consider who is sharing the reported information and whether or not they have the consent of the person it belongs to. We do this because we know that there are times when people may want some forms of their personal information to be shared publicly.

... and...

>If the reported information was shared somewhere else before it was shared on Twitter, e.g., someone sharing their personal phone number on their own publicly accessible website, we may not treat this information as private, as the owner has made it publicly available.

... and especially...

>We also factor in the intent of the person sharing the information.

You can default to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" and use "multipart/form-data" if requested, which is essentially how HTML forms work. There's lots of reasonable behaviours to choose from and you can discus what the best possible approach is, including throwing an exception, but sending "[object Object]" is not one of the reasonable behaviours.

> Or... just use Axios, I ain't your manager; I get by easily enough with a helper js that gets treeshaked out so that I can just call `postJSON(url, body, opts=null)`

The fact that everyone "just" has to use a wrapper for a basic system API is exactly the problem, especially when this was supposed to be the new shiny thing that would replace the old cruft. Why do I have to add 4 dependencies + 44 "dev dependencies" just to make a HTTP request?

Plus, for my personal projects I want to avoid the "npm ecosystem", and I especially want to avoid any JS build system.
How will Diode differentiate itself from TINA? They have 3D breadboard, web browser, microcontroller code simulation, PCB layout, equation extraction, etc.

https://www.tina.com/edison/
If you have ever used LTSpice you'd know, the "old" looking layout is not really a problem but the arcane way anything is done, different from every app I ever used.
> Just cut checks, don't make people act out reality show or circus tricks. Ask maintainers what they need and give it to them--that's how you help, not by adding to their workload.

You confuse this for a project trying to benefit developers or Open Source. It's a PR project.
ISS Vanguard! The UX of the game is wonderful given how ambitious it is.

I wanted to like Gloomhaven but it’s terrible setup time and complexity made that impossible. ISS Vanguard is the best giant coop thing. Digital gloomhaven is good.
What do you mean the beds are becoming useless?
One of the best games we've found for sorta-involved players to join. Not everyone needs to come up with words, but everyone can guess (and like you said, come and go at random)
A rail wildcat today would result in the national guard out, it just is not the same as it used to be.
The involvement of government is at most the courts to redress the kind of issues you're talking about, which is narrow to the particular situation involved, guided by precedent, but not fixed by it. Fraud, injury, death are all covered here.

Heavy-handed regulation I can't back though, in part because it is (increasingly these days) as broad as possible, as vague as possible, ensnaring far more then the initial case merited.
Code, called implementation here, is a specification written in a certain grammar that is executed.

You want 'evidence' tsc is not working as it should, by writting a duplicated less specifying specification that would sometimes conflict with the typescript one.

It make me remember the people that wanted to specify everything and generate implementation from it: that called a programming language.

There are more acres than people, even in CA. But, you're certainly not free to build on it.

By all means, where is it?
What power? They are not that big and the rank and file are not united anymore.

If they all pulled together they could do something, but i don't think they will anymore.
Maybe a checkbox to "show parasitic components".
The job is boring, the hours are terrible, they spend a lot of time away from family and they get no sick days. They are well paid if they are based in a cheap COL area, but it's a chore to work your way up to a good route.

This would not be a job where it's easy to replace people. It's really, really boring and you can't be check your phone while driving a train.
Serious question... why do you care about users doing that? As long as you yourself can avoid that, what's the issue?

I, on the other hand want to be able to install my own applications on my phone without having to buy an apple developer license or having them signed by apple. After all it is my phone...
He is also free to travel with other means, he can buy ticket in a commercial airplane, he can drive, take the bus, etc. Non of which are trackable with public data (unless he himself broadcasts the fight number of the commercial airplane he’s taking).
This change is going to make it very easy to shut down OSINT accounts that geolocate people.
> The kind of developers who’d “jump ship”, especially for developing web apps

It would be to allow you to install chrome or firefox on your iPhone.
Not sure which GPT you mean, but if you just run it twice in a row you'll likely get a different response too. There is usually some randomness and how much depends on settings.
Is there a particular reason they have to be so byzantine with sick time? Paid or not 30 days heads up seems useless. Is there that much of a logistical issue replacing missing operators?
As per this thread "average discerning German car buyer". I don't know why the fuck everyone else should give a shitb about the opinions of the "average discerning German car buyer". Is he some kind of Nordic ideal car buyer everyone else should aspire towards?!

Not once in my life has anyone talked about car panel gaps except on web forums when demonstrating Teslas or rubbish. I had one poster explain to me what is and what is not a luxury car. Alright man, good for you!
911 based measures enabled all the follow on nonsense like shoes and liquid limits.
Let's be honest - he owns the company and he have every right to do whatever he want with it including burning it all to the ground. So he could just ban that account to begin with and everyone would just learn that Twitter is now his private fan club.

Instead he given some empty promises about "being free speech absolutist" and "not banning account that track his private jet" just to do exactly that shortly after. It's hypocrisy and he should pay dearly for that with what reputation he still have.

> the things like Walk-away locking

I think it's actually quite worse in terms of security, as you can use some kind of range extender to pretend that the key is close and open (or even start?) the car.
There are two groups of interest to me here. Secondarily, the original poster. Primarily, the hundreds or thousands of people who see the interaction.

I don't know what the original poster would do, but hopefully they will be more inclined to think twice next time they consider performing the behavior in question. If they do think twice and the situation is unsafe, I certainly hope they won't put their kid at more risk just to spite an internet stranger.

But my primary interest is in the many more people who might be inclined to imitate the poster's behavior when they get the chance. Having the behavior contextualized like this can only help encourage them to think about the risks.
Again, that’s not in the “full policy” in the final link. An exception documented only in a Twitter thread might as well not exist.

to be honest, I always kind of thought the substance of the controvery was overblown. it was telemetry that was only on in source builds. the thing that rubbed me wrong, if anything, is an open source being acquired by a commercial entity at all
Liability is meaningless if it's limited to extremely low risk situations. Assuming liability in high risk conditions would be a big deal. Otherwise, its purpose is just to get mindshare for their 'level 3' tech, which in fact is just a self-driving starter project downloaded from Github.
This is just too perfect, I hope it enters the lexicon. Anytime I do a bone headed bug, it is hardcore engineering.
You should look up what's happening with the situation first before spouting nonsense.

Rail industry has been cutting the workforce and trying extract as much profit as they can knowing that it's in an unsustainable death spiral. And it's not just engineers, but also maintenance, loaders, shipping, etc. All of this has been in terrible shape over the past decade, but it's been timely in that industry can wrap it all up in "COVID caused supply chain issues leading to inflation". It's not that at all, its a purposeful gutting of a vital industry.
After playing with it, This is the first thing that came into my mind as well.
I'm assuming they've looked into this, but what about parallelizing the existing code with web workers?
You realize that being pictured at a public event next to someone is different than flying to pedo island multiple times right?
I really doubt you're comparing apples to apples here. How many of those 4.31 million miles per crash had FSD enabled?

Plus the Tesla owner will save the his/her $80k Tesla rather than prove FSD can actually handle or fail a situation.
presumably it means that it would be inappropriate for it to give reasons
The rank and file were reportedly all willing to strike, and even more so now that Biden has enforced the current rail agreement.
A “useful tool” for exactly what purpose?
Is there a particular reason they can't keep on-call standby workers? At least in their major hubs?
Gating base features behind a paywall is not really very Open Source.

https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/insiders/#whats-... includes subtitles and icons as paywall features.

Open Core is a plague on Open Source.
Things like "I want the first/last element" is still a PITA as far as I know, so lots of people use Array.from() wrappers. For all cases I used it, the performance impact seems negligible.

I don't know why querySelectorAll() doesn't just return an array.
Yeah... it's funny, but I wanted a Tesla real bad before I actually sat in a friend's. The UX sucks. Everything from opening the door to trying to access the AC or glove compartment was a pain in the ass.

Nevermind FSD accidents, I think I'd get myself killed just trying to turn down the heat on that giant touchscreen.
> There are many things we could do to solve this problem.

Just like what social networks have failed to do in years? Not sure it's that simple :-)

A brief survey of courtlistener.com shows they are not that high at least not compared to usual white collar stuff like PPP or Medicare fraud. The cases that aren't connected to banking fraud usually result in < 3 year sentences. Here are some I found:

Mirai authors - Home confinement

Peter Levashov - Time served (33 months)

Fabio Gasperini - 1 year

Maxim Senakh - 4 years

Marcus Hutchins - No prison

Sergey Vovnenko - 41 months

Aleksei Burkov - 9 years, released after 3.5 due to some sort of diplomatic intervention

Andrii Kolpakov - 7 years

Nikita Kuzmin - Time served

Karim Baratov - 5 years

Ruslan Bondars - 14 years but he went to trial, lost, and had a loss amount of $20 billion attributed to him
Sure but you can only verify facts like "when was <someone> born?", you can verify this today easily with knowledge database but that's not what is interesting in ChatGPT, what's interesting is what it can generate which you can't easily fact check, like "generate me a poem in style of <someone> and <someone>", how can you verify that the style is correct automatically? or "write me code that connects to not public system and does <here long instruction in words>", how can you verify if this code works properly without access to that system and ability to run it yourself?
I forget the exact device model because it’s been a decade plus, but I definitely did have a device that was upgraded over MIDI without requiring a separate mode.

That is definitely an issue with the device, but I don’t know how common or uncommon that is for much older equipment
Are there any new rules about watching Elon discover nuance and subtlety in "freedom of speech" in real-time or is that still allowed
I'm not being hyperbolic, I'm being quite literal. I tried two or three times to support Safari. I gave up on it and I'm never going back.

Not bashing web kit because it's from Apple, I'm bashing web kit because I had a website, I wanted to make that website support safari, and it was an absolute pain to the degree that I gave up on it.

The only other browser I've had experiences like this in has been Firefox mobile. I have similar feelings about Firefox mobile.

On the desktop, technically maybe Safari is fine on the desktop because I don't own a Mac so I can't test it, but chrome and Firefox are perfectly easy to make work together on the web with no issues. I do it everyday, safari is not normal in this.
A combination of user flags, software penalties, and moderation downweights.

Re the mod aspect: we have nothing against this story in principle but the utter degradation of these threads into predictable, reflexive vitriol from (dare I say it) both sides is some of the most profoundly uncurious "conversation" (where by conversation I mean people snarking as loudly as they can and hating on others) that I've seen on HN. It's a disgrace and I feel ashamed.

If it were up to me I'd send everyone to bed without supper, but there's nothing we can do besides downweight the worst that shows up here. We can't convince people of anything, such as the purpose of the site, the destructiveness of what they're doing, or to listen to each other.

It's a lesson in human nature. The line from this to people clubbing each other (and I don't mean dancing together) seems continuous to me.
> materially false statements

Give us a real example of something you think he said is illegal; being wrong or optimistic isn't illegal.
100mile mean distance to critical failure is an interesting number. It's long enough to create multiple, fantastic looking demos of FSD. Impressive enough to convince folks that we are almost there. But it's at least 4 orders of magnitude shy of the performance you'd need to take the steering wheel out of the vehicle.

Given the current rate of improvement it's hard to see how the remaining 4 orders of magnitude will be solved in a reasonable time frame, without a radical reimagining of their entire tech stack.
Extremely cool. The Soviets didn't even know where their sub was but we knew because of all of our hydrophones.

My father spent time as a Marine stationed in Iceland to guard parts of SOSUS. They were heavily briefed and trained for encountering Spetsnaz.
Yes, this certainly helps. I find it ironic that you can get somewhat better results for nonfiction by giving it more clues about what it's supposed to be pretending to be. It's always pretending, though.
I am curious, do you feel similarly about chess?
The tools with origins >2003 are pretty useless beyond making things out of prefab parts. That’s cool for beginner stuff, but I feel like we’re dropping people off a cliff from there. Most are really just sales platforms for parts or PCBs.

My workflow is a complicated combination of LTSpice, KiCAD, prototyping from the schematic and then ordering PCBs. It’s a little painful, but the tools are fast to use. I wish KiCAD’s SPICE integration was as natural as LTSpice and I could maintain 1 library of parts.

Breadboards are getting too painful for me to use. Too much time dealing with bad connections or noise from jumper wires being little antennas. It’s more of an issue with audio circuits than digital.

I guess my dream is if you could easily get a symbol, footprint, SPICE model, and 3D model of parts from vendors that all dropped into 1 toolchain.

Maybe a commercial offering is more like that. I’ve never really looked.
If that's true, that's actually mischievous. Lying 100% at least by their creator
> I could refute the above, but you’ll disagree, we’ll never see eye-to-eye, and we’d both just be arguing into the wind.

You're probably not wrong, but this is your dust up. Give me a shot, I'm open to well-reasoned arguments.
counterpoint - most jobs require a certain amount of training, and once you have started a "career" in that job, you often cannot switch to any job with equivalent salary, despite the fact that such jobs exist.

IOW, it's rarely about _taking_ the job and more about not wanting to take a significant step backward when you decide you're fed up with it.
Calendar View Month has 6 weeks (2017)
Yes, Stokes flow all day! Also, most marshy places are flat, and most flat places are notoriously windy so the usefulness would be generally quite low.

However, my sense is that the real dealbreaker is that it’s impossible to find a suitably insulating material. A sphere with r=30m is already over a hectare of surface area.
CSP is way more efficient than photovoltaics, but electricity is much more flexible and easier to control than heat.

I'll not be surprised if the industry decides to waste 70% of the energy and go with photovoltaics.
I guess the question is do you make an exception for public figures. Which seems to be the case.

But you have to think, would you want your travel plans tracked?

It's easy to be okay with it because you seem to not like Elon Musk and the things he does, but if it was someone else who you liked and who was being harassed...you have to have some level of fairness.
> while also being non-volatile

For something like a cache on a CPU (the main use of SRAM), what's the purpose of it being non-volatile? SRAM doesn't need refreshing, and it's a relatively small percentage of total power.
Wokwi is an awesome tool! We're actually using wokwi's open-sourced avr simulator to power arduinos in diode.

One thing wokwi doesn't do however is analog simulation so we're hoping to combine spice simulations with arduino, rpi, esp32, etc.
I don't use much jQuery any more but I thought it papered over a few bugs in browser bugs (I vaguely recall jQuery having to work around a DOM selector bug in mobile Safari in the last seven or so years).

They have no power, why was it so critical for Congress to force their hand?
While it feels like Waymo is taking a better approach than Tesla, I still do not see a viable solution to the trolley problem.

These tests are nice and all but what is going to happen when a situation invariably arises where someone is going to get hurt? What's going to happen then? Is the car going to opt to protect the passenger (because customer) or the pedestrian (much more likely to be hurt/killed).
Railways like the airlines need people in particular places at given times to drive their trains. Having any slack requires having slack and fast transport to get on call replacements into position. That costs money so they run as tight as inhumanly possible to squeeze more profitable work out of their employees at their expense.
Actually, the new policy against live-tweeting people's whereabouts (with the obvious exceptions) and enforcement of a 24h delay would have been pretty easy to defend, had it preceded the account suspension rather than the other way around.
On a different note, what are the best non-games a person could spend time "playing"? I have family members with whom I would like to spend relaxing time playing games, but they're not interested in "wasting" time. Maybe something like sports-betting, stock-picking, or even budget-balancing[0] could be, behind the right interface, "played" ad nauseam of an evening.

Board games have the right form-factor (sit around the table, colorful pieces dedicated to the simulation, clear rules easily referenced) but the wrong teleology. Any suggestions?

Edit: Heck, something like "doing our nails" might be seen as having sufficient utility.

Edit2: Folding proteins? Isn't that a game, somewhere?

I understood there was a technical limitation here too -

* apps can't write to a page and mark it executable
* therefore you can't JIT compile JS
* therefore any alt-browsers will be slow as sin.

Did I understand wrong? Or are they also going to loosen the sandbox to allow JIT compilation? That seems unwise.
I can’t believe anyone would seriously think that a “crotch monitor surveillance device” was a good thing.
If they had used a more common baud rate, I wonder if there would be so many poorly done "extensions" that it would not be in active use.
