Trump's government repealed the individual mandate penalty, and then the court ruled ruled that in it's new form, it no longer qualified as a tax and was unconstitutional. (Not that this meant anything, since the legality of a fee of $0 doesn't matter.)

The court case as a whole argued that because the GOP changed the ACA in a manner that made part of it (the $0 fee) illegal, the entirety of the ACA should be made illegal.

The fifth circuit agreed with some of the arguments in the case (the fee one), but did not practically change anything about the ACA.

And then SCOTUS, surprising ~everyone, ruled that actually the whole of the ACA is constitutional.

Look at this timeline, and you tell me - who spent years trying to re-introduce the free rider problem, and to break the ACA? Congress, the president, and the plaintiff states... or the fifth circuit, which when presented with a singular, narrow question, ruled that a $0 fee (whatever that is) isn't a tax?

Now, as of 2022, we are in a world where the ACA has been thoroughly litigated, and is still here, with the free rider problem hanging like a millstone over its neck.

I'll explain my POV. Getting Linux setup the way u want is work, but at least you can set it up the way you want. With macOS for example there are plenty of things that should be trivial do to on a computer that are made impossible or extremely difficult because the bean counters at apple want it that way. That type of thing is just an affront to me.

Another way of putting it would be macos is designed to do what apple wants the user to do, not what the user wants to do with their own machine. The only thing holding back Linux is the a amount of money and development being put into it, real technical issues. The people developing Linux are doing everything they can to empower their users and let them do as much as possible with their own machines. The developers at apple are intentionally hobbling their machines so they align better with the corps agendas.

I could probably survive and do my job on apple. But its the principle of it. These corps are just so slimy and unethical. I would feel dirty, and the artificial restrictions would constantly piss me off. An honest error or bug is much more palatable.

> I don't know why people even consider going to a private university. Public universities are subsidized by the public.

I think this is generally true, but for me it was actually cheaper to go to a private university due to scholarships from the private school and zero financial aid from the public one.
Hey bud! Similar boat; ~38 year olds, totally dead end job working in spec. ed. for the past 4 years, living on a dead end salary, in a dead end relationship. Barely can motivate myself to do anything with the kids in the classroom… man, I even wasted like, 9 years substitute teaching. been like this since 2009 when I graduated with my b.Ed. Totally messed up my undergrad in math. Can’t focus, procrastinate, etc.

When you wrote “Every night I promise myself to do/be better tomorrow and somehow get myself to sleep”, I almost cried. Same here bud. I keep looking to therapy but somehow I’ve never pulled the trigger… I’ve tried it in the past, got on some meds, only ended up with a case of ED and just feeling numb. Meds have sucked a lot.

Hopefully someone in the replies has some ideas. I like reading comments on HN. Always seems like people have insightful things to say even though I don’t understand half the things being said.

Anyway, I hope you find your solution. Sending you loving vibes as best I can.
I wonder how much the end of syndicated reruns has hit revenues all across the TV industry.

If you were a network TV affiliate, you had your Simpson’s hour, your Friends hour, your…ugh I guess King of Queen’s hour…you had all this good content (for some value of good) that was seemingly syndicated at reasonable rates, and then you could lard up with ads. And then not just for conventional TV—how much of Netflix was Office back catalog?

But now, the reruns live in their corporate streaming silos. If you are a streaming service, you have to have your own content, and if you’re what remains of a conventional TV channel, you’re seemingly coasting on cheap-as-hell talk shows.

>Can a multi-stage pellet be formulated? Ignition of an outer pellet provides some energy to get a more powerful inner pellet ignited.

My understanding is that that is the whole point of the announcement. The initial laser induced fusion caused further fusion of the interior. That's why the gain is greater than one. And that's why there is excitement, the possibility is there to scale things up using larger/more massive pellets. To me, that's the real announcement, the laser initiated fusion created additional fusion. The whole break-even energy seems more like a red-herring. Also, with inertial confinement fusion you have the possibility of doing the harder fusions, (like aneutronic fusion), that magnetic confinement fusion would have a much harder time with.
I think a lot of times the way a header like this comes into being is that someone has a narrow need for an operation that is deemed reusable and abstract. The 64 bit version of a 32 bit bit utility doesn't have a need at the time. Then somebody comes in later trying to fill out more stuff.
It's a push-based protocol. If somebody on your server follows the account, its posts will be on your server, but they can also be there through boosts, which leads to a seemingly random handful being populated.

A mechanism to backfill posts would definitely be a good addition.

Edit: for clarity, ActivityPub provides an outbox from which another server (or anything else that speaks HTTP) can pull posts. Adding a backfill feature to Mastodon would not require any changes to the protocol.

Interacting with hardware registers, such as in a device driver, is another common use case.
I'm working on a game written in m68k Assembly. In cases where I'm trying to make every CPU cycle count, these kinds of novel bitwise operations really catch my interest. TurnOffLowestBit seems useful for an effect I've had in mind for a while: A graphic gets "erased" one pixel at a time from right to left, but with some random variance for each horizontal line. Reliably turning off the lowest bit might be a good solution. Maybe throwing in TurnOffLowestContiguousBits would help to introduce some variance in a visually interesting way.

Or maybe it wouldn't. But in order for me to consider these operations as potential solutions to a problem, I have to know they exist. Even if they beckon for me to invent a problem they can solve, I'm totally open to that kind of creative inspiration.

"Check out this neat bitwise thing you can do in only 12 CPU cycles!" That's definitely the jam of Assembly and/or demoscene coders, haha.
Nah, Democrats are really good at party discipline. "Vote blue, no matter who" was only recently said out loud, but has been effectively the "You're not one of...them...right?" vote for a long time. Republican voters tend to disavow the party, because the social conservatives and the libertarians and the genuine rich-and-don't-care establishment can never agree.
A friend of mine lived in a rural town with a weird mistake in its code, that let him build at the top of an extremely steep grade. The town said, legally we can't stop you (though they immediately fixed the code) but there's no way a fire truck can get up your driveway. Sure enough, his large detached shed with vintage cars in it went up in smoke, and the firefighters tried but couldn't get their truck up there.
I had completely forgotten about this! It was clearly influential on my developing mind.
Adding a second reply with same sentiment. I am also a firefighter, and my main “assignment” over the years has been search/rescue.

We’ll always risk to reward. But more and more the phase after life saving is trending toward “surround and drown” - not that I want to fight like detroit in the 2010’s, but yes we do make a call sometimes to stop risking when lives are all confirmed safe.
> Furthermore, only buildings were insured – neither their contents, nor the lives of their occupants, were covered.

Yeah it sounds to me from the article like the insurance was for the rebuild, and the firefighting was something the insurance company did to reduce their payouts.

So I imagine if you didn't have insurance, you still were at more risk than if you did, similar to now, because the fire dept isn't going to save everything every time.
No. It shows the opposite. All model sizes converged to a similar loss as the compute increased towards maximum. But larger models had larger loss for a given compute budget.

Their text about Figure 3 confirms what I'm saying: "We find a clear valley in loss, meaning that for a given FLOP budget there is an optimal model to train"
I have not. I would be interested in reading more about this. Can you provide links?

Upgrades come in a spectrum. Some are able to automerge via dependabot or similar tools, some need minor codemodding and can be managed by tools like soucegraph's new offering. Some take months of dedicated effort and digging through the ripple effects across a web of ecosystem libraries (React comes to mind).

The problem monorepos attempt to solve isn't a technology problem, it's more of a people problem. For example, say you cron CI job fails. Then what? Someone needs to look at it.

It's easier for someone to fix things they currently have context for (e.g. if I upgrade Python or update some security-related config and something breaks, I can reason it was my change that broke it), vs an unsuspecting contractor getting around to some backlog task 6 months after the fact with no context.

Organizationally, we can shard tasks to match areas of expertise. We only need one Node.js expert, one tzdata expert, one JRE expert, etc, to upgrade each of these, instead of everyone needing to obtain above average familiarity w/ obscure FFI bullshit or whatever in each technology.
This is an excellent comment. Exerting the effort in understanding and modifying mindset is critical to success in other changes. Humans often focus on negative, risk avoidant to a fault of penny-wise/pound-foolish.

Maritime Law had a provision for salvors that saved ships in distress from sinking. If a salvor saved a ship from sinking, they were entitled to a percentage of the worth of a ship. Maybe terrestrial law needs something similar in the case of uninsured building on fire.
Of the two billion-plus exits I've been (peripherally) a part of, the most recent one was Clojure, and the one 10 years ago was Python. I've also seen several Clojure projects and one Scala project fail. With very rare exception, your tools will neither doom you nor ensure success.

Reading it right now, but I already think it's the test thing: Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals

I was (and still am) obsessed with productivity. But I more and more my tasks had felt like something I needed to get done, to afterwards finally be able to relax and profit from them. But this time never came and I just got busier.

The book does a great job at explaining how much of our daily grind is based on a refusal to accept our finitude. And once we accept our finitude, we can get a lot more done in a happier way.
Eh seems like the big investors will be winding down their crypto funds and layoffs are harsh in crypto. I wouldn’t go there now. Also the fact that the billions didn’t lead to any successful businesses other than the gold pick sellers (coinbase, FTX lol) and shady big yield lending services that are all now bankrupt
Why not update it though? They promise 0 feature changes. Only security updates and bugfixes.
Streaming is in an interesting place because a lot of the big hits (at least from my POV) are now such lavish productions that like movies, their sequels do not necessarily arrive year after year. So The White Lotus, House of the Dragon, and Andor (of Disney+) are being filmed in 2023, and will not be returning until 2024.

It's an interesting scheduling situation- so they're going to have to put out new content to fill the void in the meantime for the fans of such shows who have nothing to look forward to for an entire year, to keep them from unsubscribing.
Windows does, you can update whenever you life. All 4 possible options are offered when you go to shutdown, including skipping the update to shutdown/reboot now.

Cheap mass-produced USB peripheral chips tend to contain x51 core for control and some kind of high-performace datapath full of DMA and FIFOs for the actual data if the peripheral in question actually needs to move large amounts of data around. Having ARM core in there is somewhat rare because of the costs (both in terms of the IP license and in terms of silicon footprint).

How many of these 'cultures' being appropriated were the same culture or inheritors that the British 'appropriated' from? How many of these cultures respected these items on a cultural level? How many just happened to be living in the same physical location where these items are from but had no cultural connection (Rosetta stone)? It's a pretty one sided conversation you all are having, and one that can't be expanded without breaking the guidelines, hence the guidelines. But it's ok because you are directing this at an 'out' group.
Not true. An emergency department in the US is obligated to provide life-saving care, as are EMS services and hospital doctors if the ER doc thinks you have an immediately life threatening condition . But a random oncologist has no obligation to treat you if you have a life-threatening cancer, unless you go to an ER and they determine that your condition is immediately life-threatening (say, a perforated bowel). Then the surgeon will treat you enough that you are not inmediately dying, but they are not obligated to say, remove an underlying cancer if it’s not causing immediately life threatening problems

Thank you for interesting links. However, I see that the specified pulse energy of a single Mercury laser is 100J vs 18.7kJ for NIF so my point is still valid. There is no way to arrange 20k lasers all pointing at one pellet.
Just a note that I've found infinity bottles of Scotch don't work nearly as well as American whiskeys do; Scotches don't all play nice with each other (and I don't drink a lot of phenolic Islay stuff; I'm saying, like, a bottle full of random Speysides gets funky quickly.)
In Germany, if you have public insurance and your GP prescribe therapy to you, but all public therapists are fully booked, you can take sessions with a private therapist and the public insurance is obligated to cover you.

I agree that all people show compassion at some level regardless of the economic system in which they participate.

But I believe that compassion is not inherent in capitalism and people’s individual compassion is often in conflict with the goals of the system.

Yeah, I run a Mastodon server, registrations are open, and it's never gone down. What I see mostly are people coming over from Twitter and making a go of it. Some bounce, most stay, and some vastly prefer it.

Part of the trick is moving over communities. You don't need the world and its dog. It's working already. It's replaced Twitter for me, and then some.

The pessimism here on HN is bizarre! Isn't this what so many people wanted?
That is not my stat. It was provided by the OP.

1. How much of that split is between engineers and non engineers?

2. Outside the US can also imply other high cost regions like London.

I can understand why folks feel no sympathy for him on the matter, but he is a business man, and any smart business man would be foolish to not attempt to get the best deal in the end. I was merely pointing out that if he truly did not want to own Twitter then he would have just paid the breakup fee.
Nobody knows what the hell is going on with MuskBird, but when it was still Twitter there was a two-sided terms of service, under which Twitter offered its users concrete, enumerated benefits. Mastodon instances do not have "terms of service" they have "rules". The "rules" are unilateral in that they bind the user and not the service provider. The entire model is strictly worse for the user than Twitter was.
Eh, sometimes thats not an option if the an onramp doesn't create a new lane.
I've lived and driven in California, Western Europe and New Zealand. Many (not all) California onramps come from tight cloverleafs or they are metered with stop lights, so you have to accelerate quickly to avoid going into the stopping lane (which will be covered in gravel, if it even exists). I never had this problem elsewhere.
Is this an AMC problem, or just that every player now wants a streaming service and people accustomed to bundled TV options (and I count Netflix as that for argument) are now exhausted at the prospect of endless streaming services to subscribe to.
Can't help but notice that no timeframe was published. How long was the exercise? A month? A week? A day?

In any-case, whether the problems plaguing the Puma are fixable by retrofitting, or if a new design all together is necessary, is a real question with some effects to note.

After all, replacing electronic parts is completely different from replacing key mechanical systems or even sections of the hull.

It all depends on test's reports.
