I have a good one too, but it's totally bupkiss. Nonetheless, it's a fun one.

Joe DiMaggio had JFK killed.

DiMaggio's family hails from Sicily and had a lot of mob connections in the East Bay. JFK was famously barred by Joe from attending Marilyn's funeral, due to his jealousy and implications he held that JFK was responsible in part for her death. Via mob connections and his time playing with/against Ted Williams, Joe manages to get Oswald, a Marine like Williams, to do the deed.

Ironically a factor in that scaling question historically has been cost of the database license. You may be able to technically scale the database server to handle the load but it will generate a multiple person-year type cost inflation of the license fee.

If I was trying to invent some “fair taxation scheme” I’d tax the profit based on the revenue in that country.

So if a company had $100B global revenue and $10B global profit and 0% of the profit was in France while 10% of the revenue was in France, then the company should be taxed based on the $1B profit that can be attributed to France based on revenue there.

Any other scheme seems it’s prone to creative licensing schemes and similar.
Wow, thank you for the great reference. This would be a great target for The Editor. E.g. the editor could allow a musician/designer/inventor to compose the sound patch in the Faust modules, then call Faust to render the code across a variety of platforms!

Off the top of my head, I don't really know how to do that (aside from the naive way of using threads), I'm guessing readv[1] might be be useful? Will definitely look into it.

Ask HN: Can Parag Agrawal (Ex-CEO Twitter) Join Meta – No Competitive Agreement?
Recently, we heard news Parag Agrawal, Ex-CEO of Twitter joining Meta.

So, I was curious to know, whether Twitter never had Competitive protection agreement from their employees where they can not launch or join any company which are direct or indirect competitor to their product.
Comparing intermittent sources with non-intermittent sources is comparing apples to oranges. A realistic comparison would also include the cost of energy storage, as well as transmission line construction to support energy transport [1]. Intermittent sources are shockingly cheap if you naively compare on a watt-hour basis, ignoring the cost of storing and releasing energy. Unfortunately, storage at the scale required remains expensive and unfeasible [2] and are actually rising due to lithium prices rising 10x over the last few years [3].

1. Wind and solar need to be built in specific places, and thus have to move large amounts of energy over long distances. This frequently requires expansions to the energy grid: https://www.vox.com/videos/22685707/climate-change-clean-ene...

This is the height of hypocrisy. Everything the "twitter files" have disclosed so far is in line with what most people expected was happening, but Musk's censorship of the platform has been far more egregious than anything that came before. This isn't to defend the actions that Twitter took, which were arguably partisan in some cases, but it's difficult to make the case that Twitter wasn't making a best effort to curate a healthy platform.

Musk by contrast has shown that he only cares about limiting speech that damages himself, and he will say or do anything to obscure that fact. He promised not to ban the elonjet account, and then reversed course: https://www.techdirt.com/2022/12/14/elons-promise-not-to-ban...

He falsely claimed that Twitter refused to take action on child exploitation: https://twitter.com/jack/status/1601302412056473600?s=20&t=4...

He has banned journalists who were critical to him in the past: https://mastodon.world/@kairyssdal/109524620754087441

He has banned Mastodon and Pixelfed's accounts, falsly labeling them as "malware."

And most hypocritically, he claims the reason for all of this is because these people have shared "assassination coordinates" and "doxxed" him, even though first of all, the information is public: https://mastodon.social/@JxckS/109524630642043912 Second, most of the journalists never linked to his private information: https://famichiki.jp/@stopthatgirl7/109522071808584229 There is evidence that his claimed stalker was far from an airport, and worst in my opinion, he has doxxed critics in the past in much more damaging ways:

Pro tip if you just can't be bothered with this shit - my friend's wife recently asked chatgpt to generate a glowing performance review covering four required areas. What it generated was according to her better than what she usually wrote. She copied and pasted it almost verbatim and the job was done in 5 minutes.

It's not just the code, we'd want everyone on the team to use the appropriate toolsets including debugging and error checking support. They can set it up in Vim and Emacs if they want but it saves time for the team as a whole if we all use a standardized set of tools.
I think the notes at the end bury the lede; in particular:

> "I save the most time by just observing that a problem is an adaptation of a common problem. For a problem like 2016 day 10, it's just topological sort." This suggests that the contest problems have a bias towards retrieving an existing solution (and adapting it) rather than synthesizing a new solution.
Unfortunately I'm quite sure it's the latter. Even in Canada, in MTL where I live, on public transit it's maybe 5-6% that is masking. For most people the pandemic is simply "over", regardless of what the data says or how overwhelmed hospitals are.

I think the two problem spaces are slightly different.

- for windows, the problem is solved by:

1) common sense troubleshooting
2) web search for the problem
3) ask the developer

- for linux, you also get:

4) break out the source
5) push an update

Well my point is there aren't pages for specific math problems on wikipedia, because that's not the goal of wikipedia. ChatGPT can tell you the rules of algebra, but it's bad at applying them. If you want to solve math problems you should go to wolframalpha.

My personal opinion is that having an encyclopedia that is sometimes wrong is actually incredibly valuable for educating people in the social media age. Distinguishing between content that is true and content that sounds true is a skill that used to be unneeded but is now essentially a requirement to productively participate in society. ChatGPT seems like a decent way to train that skill.
yes and, you see "social signal" surgical masks and also clinical N-95 variations.. personally I do wear the N-95 at the grocery store at this time. I throw them out after a few weeks of use and use a new one. A box of ten is about $15 at a local hardware store near me.
And that's shockingly high for Massachusetts where it's probably less than 1% in general--outside of healthcare settings and probably a few percent higher on public transit.
Thanks! I'm still working through Rajpopat's thesis, but at a high level, it doesn't particularly "revolutionize" our understanding of the Astadhyayi. It's just further proof of Panini's ingenuity and the consistency & completeness of perhaps the only exhaustive symbolic/computational account of a natural language. Makes me even prouder to consider myself part of this millennia-old linguistic tradition.

Howard Marks’ book The Most Important Thing has sold three-quarters of a million copies. I don’t know what the list of all-time best-selling investment books looks like, but that is up there.

It's always the same pattern with this blog: find a single success and then generalize it to everything, ignoring the obvious survivorship bias. The vast majority of books do not sell well, no matter what technique is used. Writing for yourself is good, but ideally you want other people to be interested too if your goal is to actually make money.
>though I haven't read any of those in my adult life

You should read the first three (chronological release). They're short and sweet.

I got about two episodes into Apple-Foundation and threw in the towel. It is a good show. However the problem is not that it's 'not the same as the book'. The show takes beloved characters and alters them a great deal to teach viewers tired lessons about progressive values. I don't even disagree with the lessons! It aligns right on my beliefs! But it just reminds me of stuff that was exciting in the original books and that I'm not watching a instant-classic adaptation of a classic book.

Instead I'm watching a half-decent Apple original wrapped in a well-known brand so that it's a safer investment. It's a show I'd probably find engaging and interesting if it didn't remind me over and over of how much I enjoyed the books and how unlike them it is.
Get enough of those parties stiffed together and a judge might just force you into bankruptcy. Note that you can have plenty of cash in the bank, and still go bankrupt.

Involuntary bankruptcy is relatively rare but it does happen and if you stiff enough vendors the chances of it happening go up.
Take the ratio of global revenue against national revenue and apply it to global expenses. Allow some leeway around any particularly unique national expenses and you've immediately put an end to the bullshit games these sociopaths play.

Sure it is. As long as the toilet works when you need it, you (a) don't actually have to check, and (b) the plumber is free to sequence their tasks in an optimal fashion.

The message from the plumber is based on the assumption that the default state of things is that the plumber has not done their job and things don't work. If you feel like that's the default state of things, you should choose a different plumber, not ask for notifications about which things don't work.
We have a number of financial services apps running on Solaris. The cost of the licenses and hardware is insignificant compared to the cost of porting those apps to something else. You'll find that as the reason most folks stay on these platforms.

We also apparently still have some AIX, but I'm not sure what it supports. AIX is still somewhat popular in financial services; probably others as well.

Handgun rounds are really quite slow - now do it with a 5.56 NATO 55 grain FMJ from a 20" barrel at 3000+ feet per second.

Basic rifle chronographs are under $200 and high enough Hz precision to measure feet-per-second of different rounds accurately. You still can't see it and differences are imperceptible to human senses, but chronographs/chronometers are a heck of a lot cheaper than a super-slow-motion camera.

That's good to hear. I also used to use Vue before switching to React, which has a similar layout, ie HTML, styles, and script tags in a single file component. It was alright but it had some weird rules, like registering plugins, two way data binding, etc.

Biggest thing though is the package support for Vue and other non-React libraries was miserable compared to React, so I switched and I definitely prefer it over any template-based framework.
As others have said, have an agenda.

Also, whoever is leading the meeting needs to have a second person there who's job is to help refocus the meeting so that the agenda is followed. It's too much for one person to lead a meeting and fend off every random comment made by the team.

Popular songs are ruined by being ubiquitous. They're everywhere for a period of time. Over concentrated. Inescapable. And from that point, ruined.

Popular movies get discussed to death and over-mis-interpreted to the point where just the mention of it causes a mental effort to ignore the assumed sycophantic rambling that's to follow.

Popularity ruins perceived quality by the nature of media to seize upon it and, as someone else said in a slightly different context above, squeeze every last cent of profit out of the opportunity that's presented by it's popularity.

Technically it doesn't affect the quality, but it adds a thick layer of media slime that can take years to dry up and fall off.

Lastly, popularity and quality are two scales that have interesting intersections. It's a concept I'd actually like to investigate further.
Something I have learned to my chagrin over the past decades: whenever someone's actions are irrational under a long-term perspective, maybe they are not really intending to iterate the game for as long as they claim.

I have a feeling what will be needed for AI- is teachers.

As it gets smarter and actually gets better reasoning, and capability- the way to keep AI sane and kind, will be to try to teach it like a person, with it putting importance on lessons from designated teachers even more, than it's weight in casual conversation , generally.

I think i forsee teachers being hired to teach AI, not just humans. Though how much AI will benefit from it will depend on their level
But we'll have to get to that point first, as i read attempts to teach ChatGPT having odd results , which of course reveal what it can't do-yet.

At some point, we're going to have to intentionally educate AI- i feel like giving them knowledge in a similar manner is not talked about enough, even if some feel teaching AI like we do people isn't necessary due to AI's other abilities

> I predict A.I. trained on LOTR will be found to be infringing because it's a derivative work unless the court determines that use of the original work constitutes a fair use.

Okay, but that's just a prediction, not an argument. I don't agree with the prediction. I think it makes some sense to think about the AI training data on analogy with memories, because they contain impressions of a thing without being able to reproduce it exactly. They can both be the source of both real creativity as well as the source of infringing works.

I don't see an argument for considering the training data produced by AI training a derivative work, at least not in any copyrightable sense. ChatGPT is "software"; the training data that it operates on is not "software" in the strictest sense and exists in an uncomfortable middle space at present with respect to copyright law. That's what the memory analogy is supposed to show: just like human memories aren't subject to copyright, AI training data that is similar in structure and capabilities to human memories is likewise not subject to copyright. More precisely, my point is that that's one entirely reasonable way courts could rule: AI training data represents "fair use" of its sources (provided they are legally obtained of course), but the products of an AI trained on those sources might not be.
I think that is what people might be pointing to as justification, but isn’t that simply a bullying tactic?
I hope this makes its way into web browser rendering. I've been working on a "game engine" using SVG in the browser. When I started, everything I read said don't - because performance. However, manipulating an SVG using a reactive framework (I use Vue) makes for very readable code. Our game client is meant to be a "reference" client so readability is more important than performance, which just needs to be "good enough." However, a significant boost in SVG rendering performance would be amazing.

edit: although, as I look more deeply, I may be misunderstanding and this may not be something that would benefit existing SVG browser rendering in any way...
