Origin
early 17th century (as school slang, in the sense ‘Friday on which an examination is held’). The shopping sense dates from the 1960s and was originally used with reference to congestion created by shoppers; it was later explained as a day when retailers’ accounts went from being ‘in the red’ to ‘in the black’.
You're right, it's probably higher. Your skill as a driver doesn't make it impossible for a drunk driver in another car to hit yours, unfortunately.
> The Steam Deck is an incredible bit of hardware, but the software that underpins it is just as impressive.

No shade on the journalist here: to me, the software is vastly more impressive. That it can run a vast library of high-end Windows PC games on a laptop SoC running Linux is an incredible feat of software. I wouldn't have believed Proton could work so well if I hadn't seen it happen.

And all the tech is open-source :)

Florentine maecenas were no different from billionaires today chasing each other in space races.

They didn't sponsor artists for the sake of art but rather as a display of wealth and power.

Noted, thank you for the feedback! The publish dates show up in the article list, but not in the view of an individual article. Might need to mess around with the Grav theme (it's a nice flat-file oriented CMS otherwise), or maybe sometime get around to writing my own static site generator, like all of the cool bloggers do.
You cite "Stalin bad" but Stalin only killed about 40,000/week for 30 years. You're talking of personally paying to support the deaths of everyone at the current world-wide all-cause death rate of 1,000,000/week, forever. Surely in some way that makes your plans infinitely worse than Stalin's? Imagine all the wailing and gnashing of teeth, all the veil of mourning and tears, the darkness your plans will cloud the surface of the Earth with. All the sobbing parents, grieving siblings, depressed grandparents and grandchildren.

All because you don't want to bother inventing an orbital ring or an arcology tower or society where suicide by choice is the accepted way out.

> "removes most horrible tyrants like Stalin"

"we" could still kill him; immortal or ageless doesn't necessarily mean invincible.

How Radioactive Are Low Yield Nuclear Weapons?
Chinese smart watches with great battery life are glorified fitness bands with limited set of features i.e. no onbard assistance support. Which is enough personally, loved my mibands, upgraded to a huawei gt2 for the occasional voice call and physical button that can be mapped to activate music controls on a big screen that's easy to tap with gloves on during winter. Plus occasional use of remote camera shutter feature. Which covers about 95% of my use cases. The other 5% which would be nice includes navigation, but there's apps that basically forward Googlemaps turn by turn notifications to watch relatively seemlessly. And implement basic voice Google assistance like in bluetooth headsets as well as mobile wallet, but they seem to be prioritizing mainland market. Regardless, easily worth the trade off of charging every couple weeks for me. Wish Google would replicate with model since they won fitbit, don't even need to strip out features from wearos, just include an extreme power consumption mode that disables most features that would allow multi week use between charges.

Ask HN: What do your workers waste most time on? (For founders/business owners)
LLMs can now understand and process natural language.

I’m looking for problems that exist in the business space that could be solved by using LLMs like GPT-3.

For example, is there something that takes a lot of time that could be better utilized somewhere else?

Anything related to this is highly welcomed
I see!

Your story hits home for me. It's interesting to see how the social integration of migrants is judged in middle Europe. People with a Greek and Italian descent share cultural similarities with people of Turkish descent. However, they often have a brighter hue than middle-eastern people. It appears that this fact is critical in how they are treated/thought-of/questioned.

Just like the story you just told, looking “white/western” is more important than sharing the cultural values of the country you live in. I apologize for the stupid “white” and “western” terms everyone, I couldn't put better words to such a fickle concept. I also apologize for the overgeneralization, I love Germany and the wider German society.
Wer did survive in the word "werewolf" as well.
Many of us will have been in a professional context (an audio conference call maybe) where someone guessed the person’s gender incorrectly from their name and the sum total of the offence was a shrug, and a quick apology was enough to set things right and move on.

This is a non-issue for almost every person on the planet except for maybe the most easily offended.
Yeah you are right. Extremely disappointing. I'm not in the AI field at all but with the hype it has been receiving I was expecting a lot more. This is just vomiting up tangentially related information.
Genuine question, because I hear this sentiment a lot.

Are they the only ones who tell you, a fellow white man, or are they the only ones who are offended? I strongly suspect (this is not meant to be insulting) that you may not have a relationship with the people who this language impacts. It takes an emotional toll to confide with someone that something is upsetting to hear, even with coworkers or casual friends, especially if you don't think they'd understand.

Also, language has the opportunity to shape and influence how we structure society, even unintentionally. Thats why there's a lot of emphasis on teaching children about what words are appropriate. Even if naming your git branch "master" won't realistically impact racism and the history of slavery, describing some bad event in your day a word that has an origin in describing people can lead to negative associations.
The metrics that give rise to closed time like curves, wormholes, or the FTL metric (Alcubierre metric) don't seem really feasible given the constraints imposed on the stress-energy tensor. The paper seems interesting as it seems to attempt to apply what physics is observable assuming the metric that gives CTC exists, but I think the article is making too strong claims about time travel.
besides the nature of offensivene of language come with intent, people are perfectly able to come up with mean sentences out of menial words (your brain is as big as a pea) all the while if you go to a supermarket in spain all dark chocholate is hard r n-word and life goes on as normal.

we kinda have lost the plot when calling out people for being intentionally disrespectful became calling out any form of language that the disrespectful people used, in a form of guilty-by-association game.

if we could be back calling out specific instances of offensiveness and evaluate it case by case it be grand. it doesn't scale, but justice never was intended to be scalable -by design-

I meant what lower hanging fruits governments ought to spend on. However, since you asked, here are some of the things governments are currently spending on, but could bear improvement: eradicating preventable diseases, ensuring kids get good nutrition, better tracking, and hopefully prevention of e. coli/salmonella outbreaks, funding basic research into improving outcomes for patients, reducing profiteering off the products of publicly-funded research, medical pricing transparency, better organ donor policies (universal opt-out)

Great links, thanks!

The first one has an awesome typo (I hope, else they're being a bit evil) with a double negative in the text explaining the instruction:

Inactive elements will not not cause a read from Device memory or signal a fault, and are set to zero in the destination vector.

Note the double "not" in the first half. Ouch.
Hopefully it helps you feel better to shoot the messenger, and eventually helps you get the courage to stand up against it. Would be really great if the left actually focused on important issues instead of this unscientific divisive bullcrap. I'd better add the disclaimer here that I also hope the right does too, because I seem to have twisted a lot of panties and enraged some valiant "nazi" hunters falling over themselves to bully me for daring to laugh at this pathetic clownery.
> the same "hip-hip hooray" rally cry was used by the Red Army

Which Red Army? Unless it's the Chinese Red Army (which I have no knowledge about), but rather the Russian (Soviet) Red Army, then, firstly, the battle cry of its soldiers was not "hip-hip hooray", but rather "ura" (cognate of the English "hurrah"); and, secondly, this battle cry is much older than the Red Army. It's an old word; almost certainly a borrowing into Russian; but in which century (seventeenth? sixteenth? older?), and from which language, I do not know.
Language absolutely affects how we think, the brain makes links subconsciously and learns all the time from all inputs, so I don't think it's sensible to dismiss the idea of language making small differences to how we think.

The most likely cause of death for me on the next 20 years, as a white man in his 20s, is suicide. A major part of the reasoning for that is men typically struggle to reach out and talk about issues. A contributing factor I think is growing up around phrases like "man up" or "stop being a girl". Obviously anyone who says them isn't saying "bottle up serious issues until it becomes too much" but that repeated learning does stick and despite times changing and there being far less pressure now to be an alpha head of family type guy, the issues continue to affect us.

I don't see any reason that same repeated learning from a young age wouldn't also apply to black/white language if there's an overwhelming imbalance.

I think listening to an entire song of some unknown artist is a great sign that more tracks should be queued up.

Essentially, that artist generated traffic for Spotify, and Spotify channels that traffic to more known tracks that are more likely to generate conversions to paying customers.

If you ask people to describe their dreams and find similarities, it’s not reasonable to assume those dreams represent some kind of hidden reality rather than simply shared psychological responses and social influences. I don’t see why these reports should be treated any differently.
It's almost like Germany took in many refugees regardless of if they were employable in Germany for humanitarian reasons?

The article talks about Germany not being good at training them because people aren't being employed. Is Germany truly so bad at training refugees, or is it simply difficult to train people to be competitive in the German job market when you're coming without knowing German or having local connections or the means to start your own business?

Easy to complain the Germans aren't doing well enough. Hard to do a better job.

Video streams are generally compressed in blocks called group of pictures (GOP) as well. That's how seeking in a video stream works - skip to the beginning of the GOP the desired timestamp is in, start decoding from there and show images once the timestamp is reached.

Because the actual cost to AWS for a customer accidentally racking up an expensive bill is minuscule compared to the cost of that bottle of wine to the restaurant.

Amazon also has an interest in keeping their customers happy, and keeping usage growing. A customer who gets a refund for accidental or fraudulent usage is much more likely to remain a loyal customer, and hopefully spend more on the platform in the future. A restaurant, while in the hospitality industry, is likely more concerned with their razor-thin margins.

Also I would expect the true motive in your example is that the restaurant-goer is trying to scam the restaurant out of an expensive bottle of wine, and I'm sure most restaurant managers would agree with me. The AWS customer is not only more likely to have made an honest mistake, but AWS support has tools available to look at the usage and make a more nuanced decision as to whether or not the customer is telling the truth.

(And I have witnessed quite a few situations where Amazon has written off usage bills in cases like this. So clearly they agree with me on this, at least some of the time. Not all of the time, of course, as the grandparent poster can attest to.)

Were you under the impression that the right does not receive generalized criticism on the internet or this web site? Or that your comment is a rebuttal to what I wrote?

By all means feel free to criticize conservatives / right wing. They certainly do make it easy, you're right about that if nothing else.
Yeah, because a 180 year wait for someone who already has an approved green card makes complete sense.

And god forbid they have kids that they brought along with them completely legally because once those kids turn 18 they have absolutely no standing in the US and have to leave the country.

That sounds absolutely reasonable. What makes this even more fascinating is that those kids would have been ok if their parents had come to the US as undocumented immigrants, as opposed to being documented immigrants with approved green cards.
> Blackbox: Assigns negative connotations to the color black, racializing the term.

The way I think about something being 'blackbox' is neither positive or negative. It's just not knowing. Looking into a dark room and not seeing what mechanism is inside it, merely knowing there's a door with a key and something comes out of it when I open the door.

I think speech is important, but most of these seem generated by chatgpt.

Thank you for the example! Yes, that definitely looks good, but is still just a webpage. Also, it has pictures with bad resolution, and a latex table that has been rendered as an image for some strange reason. So as usual, it is not consistent in its quality, which is usually the problem.

To compare, open the accompanying PDF, which is also provided along with the webpage. It is of MUCH higher quality, which is partially due to the fact that layout is static.

Furthermore, the webpage doesn't support pagination. The problem is turning it into a book, and there doesn't seem to be a good standard that supports HTML+KATEX/MATHJAX properly. In theory there is no reason they shouldn't, as epub support javascript, but in practice it just doesn't work properly.
I have similar fundamental issues with a robotic vacuum but a robotic vacuum has been a game changer for my dysfunctional household where no one actually vacuumed regularly.

It doesn't matter if it's the best vacuum or the most secure vacuum or even the cheapest, for us it matters if it actually gets used and thus the floors are cleaner.

Same reason I've come to like our stick vacuum: we're far more likely to use it than other vacuums that are technically better but are heavier/louder/more difficult to store/etc.
I imagine it's mostly white woke people coming up with these lists. It's their attempt to "help", but at the same time reinforce their status.

Tangential to this topic, the New Yorker did an article on Clarance Thomas' views on race. He used to align with radical black nationalism before his views grew more conservative. It's a very interesting article.

https://www.newyorker.com/culture/essay/clarence-thomass-rad...

These particular quotes stuck with me: "Thomas came to believe that, for the white liberal, offering help to black people was a way to express the combined privileges of race and class...The second way affirmative action continues white supremacy is by elevating whites to the status of benefactors, doling out scarce privileges to those black people they deem worthy...Put simply, Thomas believes that affirmative action is a white program for white people."
It could, certainly. But

1) you don't have one black commit for every non-black commit, do you? Because the general best practice is to do like kuu suggested and have a specific black version as part of the development environment, with a pre-commit hook to ensure no random formatting gets introduced.

2) assuming 500 commits in your bisection, that's, what, about 9 compilations you'll need to do, so it will take you 9 hours to run. So even with a black commit after every human commit, that yes, 1 hour more, but it's also only 11% longer.

Even with only 10 non-black commits and 10 black commits, your average bisect time will only increase from 3.6 hours to 4.6 hours, or 30% longer.

I'm curious to know what project you are on with 1 hour build times and the regular need for hours-long bisection search, but where there isn't a common Python dev environment with a specific black version. Are you using ccache and/or distributed builds? If not, why isn't there a clear economic justification for improving your build environment? I mean, I assume developers need to build and test before commit, which means each commit is already taking an hour. Isn't that a waste of expensive developer time?

And, I assume it's not the black formatting changes which result in hour-long builds. If they do, could you explain how?
Sorry, I didn't know we were talking about spiders.

That’s hardly the only or even most common response. As mentioned in that Wikipedia link people often report:

anguish
distress
a void
devastation
vast emptiness
etc

Not mentioned but common is extreme pain. But, such responses are less comforting and therefore less often repeated. It’s the same sort of filtering that makes specific kinds of posts go viral. As mentioned in Parnia's study where 63 people with NDE and none of them had an out of body experience, the actual breakdown of experiences don’t line up with what is generally reported.
