I use an old Epson Workforce WF-7100. This printer does two sided scanning on the ADF, and you can create presets for color, black and white, etc. Mine was given to me out of a garage and has some wear and tear - the ADF jams a lot, so sometimes I have to use the glass.

As long as the device can scan to PDF into a network folder, I think most scanners/printers will work. Paperless works by monitoring a folder you choose - it doesn't care how files get to that folder.

It's very common for most all-in-one printer/scanners to be able to save to a Windows/SMB network share. In my case on the Linux box running Paperless, I also installed and setup Samba and exposed a share for the scanner.

An engineering firm I used to work for rented Kodak i2600 document scanners from the company providing their printers - and they were constantly scanning and these devices didn't mess up. If I did high volume scanning I'd try to get one of those.
AI: and not just deep learning, ml, etc. I mean just using AI tools in a responsible way - I don't mean bypassing safeguards, I mean recognizing when you should fact check it. In a way, reliance on AI that is imperfect might actually increase people's 'fact checking' abilities because these are severely lacking in society right now.

E.g. Be able to use chatGPT to help you code, but not if you're maybe a junior and can't discern good code from crap. It should be basically a subordinate who you do code reviews with, not the other way around, though when it's on it's game if you don't understand a concept it can explain it pretty damn good. Again that's assuming it isn't making things up.

It would be nice if there were a toggle, or slider for: truthfulness, and reliability. Where basically it has little creativity to 'create' things that don't exist, unless reliability is set to 'creative' or 'low'. If I'm writing a fiction novel, that's what I want. If I'm coding it isn't.

I think AI consulting and workflow management will be big in the coming years. It's obvious so many things that we can do with this tech to us, but to many people they just don't 'get' it, and there's money in showing them.

Your take appears to be a generalization of my take in at least two axes:

1. Asserting that it's hard if not impossible to generate valuable signal, where I am speaking only to the case where access to web search makes it hard if not impossible to generate valuable signal, and;

2. I suspect you are also factoring in a very thorny problem, which is not just detecting candidates who are attempting the interview in good faith but are incompetent at the task given, but also detecting interviewers who are gaming the system by memorizing solutions to popular tasks.

The latter is a very hard problem.

Mid 40's here. I was vanlifeing (sorta homeless) and scraping-by doing consulting gigs until I went to work for a MAANG. Startup-like activities on the side are necessary but shouldn't be sole focus without revenue on the way to profit.
In Austin you will never meet a friendly cop; just angry, bitter, spiteful cops who are always packing an attitude and practically at war with the city itself. Arguably the city council gets a lot of blame for their own persistent & longstanding antagonism towards those police; the persistent screaming over identity politics doesn't help either. But at this point the situation is so toxic that outside help is needed. The city is incapable of running a decent police force that even cares about the citizens it was meant to protect.
No, it means when compared on the international stage the American left is no more like the global center-right.

Also, the majority of American citizens don't like the opinions of the democratic party. They works for the corps, not the people.

Voyager Announces Agreement for Binance.us to Acquire Its Assets
It's not done for "PR". US hospitals are required to treat emergency cases, by law. The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act[0], passed under President Reagan, codifies the mandate.

(This is, to my mind, what caused the United States to end up with socialized medicine-- albeit a socialized medicine system where we don't get to have public discourse about how it works.)

The first real definition of the Metaverse I've ever heard. Loved it.
Signals are not exceptions. Languages with exceptions still have to handle signals separately. Signals are an OS construct, and exceptions are a language construct.

To the question of "why not raise a signal on integer overflow in C?" - because signals are a terrible way of dealing with this. The signal handler doesn't know what code caused the overflow, and can't really do anything about it. Once the signal handler returns, the code itself has no idea it caused an overflow. Signals are a way for the OS to send signals to your program and not for control flow, after all. That's why `feenableexcept` is a niche extension that nobody uses.

The standard way of checking for fp errors is by calling `fetestexcept`. Personally I prefer this strategy (doing operation, then checking for errors) vs the new proposal for ints (checking for potential errors before doing the operation). But that is a matter of taste.
If you want the benefits of society you can't ignore the costs. Every home that is protected by fire departments pays taxes in the developed world, this family chose to live in unincorporated land. Btw - The fire was started by the homeowners grandson who was lighting trash on fire and afterwards the homeowners son assaulted the fire chief.

Ohio has townships within its counties; they serve as a catch-all for areas that aren't otherwise incorporated as cities/villages, and that can make a big difference for local property tax and services.
> kind of a stereotype though of tech dudes to be into stoicism

I like this book but completely disagree with your stereotype. In fact, I find the tech dude stereotype to lack perspective, resort easily to anger and personalization, stew in thought, and accuse others for their suffering.
Half the things we know about famous Romans come from writings that were attacking or making fun of them, and some are pretty clearly satire or jokes.
> So the Russian and Iranian people who are not at fault for their governments misgivings are supposed to be shut out of the global financial system too?

Speaking objectively here: obviously yes.

There is no government on earth that does not function without at least tacit consent of those governed. That consent may be obtained in all sorts of manners (many coercive or brutal) but fundamentally that matters very little from the perspective of an external nation.

The entire point of cutting a nation out of the financial system is to generate internal pain among the population that removes consent for their government that is currently committing atrocities.

If they want back in... the options are clear and simple: Choose a new government (through any of several means - up to and including rebellion or civil war). Stop the actions of your current government.

Isn’t it possible that since they cut costs (inhumane way to describe layoffs), as long as they keep the investment dollars the same, the percentage would go up?
Oops, you're right. Too late to edit, sorry about the confusion.
That's still the same problem though. If nobody pays the town is still going to be out money even if it's possible to collect $3500. And the reason they don't put out the blaze and then just charge if someone doesn't have insurance is because they won't be able to collect.

I did not interact much either but got some solid information and some great book recommendations. I give pre elon twitter props for that.
No, the moral of this story is you taking a single part massively out of context. And the fire department didn't go out. So they wouldn't have known if someone's life was at risk. So stop you're nonsense.

Yeah, as weird as it sounds, my wife and I are probably together now 14 years after we met because we had relatively low standards in our early 20s. Obviously you should have some baselines for fundamental character traits when considering a long-term partner, but we were both well-intentioned-but-half-developed at 21. If either one of us had been in a position to look down on our relatively lackluster lifestyles at that point, we probably wouldn't be happily married today.

I guess my point is prioritize fundamental character (honesty, communication, loyalty, values, etc), and someone you can have fun with. The rest can be taken care of with time and effort.
The two recent books by Madeline Miller, "Circe" and "The Song of Achilles"

"Crossroads" Jonathan Franzen

"Agassi" Andre Agassi - I don't normally read sports memoirs, but this one came highly recommended by a woman author that I have read recently so I gave it a try. As a tennis fan who pretty much alway routed for the other player when he played (except when he played Pete Sampras), I found the book totally engaging. Highly recommended.
Federated systems are more resilient, which is the half of the trade-off you leave out. Also, “scale” is too vague a term in this context. It could mean efficiency or it could mean uptime. These are very different, and federated systems will have higher “uptime” in the sense that one instance crashing won’t cause all to crash. However, it will be less efficient, but there are huge efficiency gains to be had with the current design.

Government creates this problem by making it impossible to build more housing. Government can’t fix the problem without addressing the cause. It’s just a jobs program for government workers and a complete failure.
in the past few weeks I've personally found it very amusing to see pre-$8 bluechecks on twitter telling their followers that they're moving to other (non-mastodon) social media services, then you click the link to their new profile there and almost without exception find out that they've been "Verified" on that platform too. it's like they can't imagine using a social media website unless they have some kind of visible Status Signifier that the unwashed masses don't get to have. all other leadership decisions aside, the $8 bluecheck is the best thing anyone could've done to twitter.
So, I can kind of understand the policy. There's not a lot of land in Seattle to go around - you are lucky enough to have some of it, and you want to build something tiny palpably removes potential units from the market. No one would be happy if you tore down a block of apartments in NY to put up a cute little Craftsman with room for a private dirt bike track. Well, in the same way, leaving these types of properties to grandfather into urban areas also makes no sense.

That said, this also clearly sucks and is not fair. She is at least adding something that wasn't there before. So it makes no sense to pay more in taxes. If anything, it's kind of proving the value of a Land Value Tax.

This is great research and very useful (if sometimes mundane and math heavy!) work. It’s a public good and the author has made important contributions.

I kind of chuckle that many of the comments here are complaining that the article didn’t say the one “quick way” to clean up orbital debris. Is it lasers? Space tugs? Robotic deorbit devices? No! The author did answer it - it’s tracking! Knowing where all the debris objects are and calling out debris offenders/enforcing existing regulations is really enough. This kind of work - not the hundreds of millions spent on space tug demos, harpoons, and exotic nonsense - is actually useful. Everything else is an excuse for rich VCs and armchair aficionados to yell “have you heard about Kessler syndrome?!?”
It's a super book. Remember the first meeting of Arthur and Merlin, when Merlin says "how long since we met?" and then has a tear in his eye?

He also wrote The Goshawk which I can recommend.
Why should it be rock bottom? Money is money. And more importantly, popularity is popularity. He sold all of those NFTs -- to people who are pretty much guaranteed to vote for him if he runs again.

"Rock bottom" would be if the Justice Department actually ever presses charges for mishandling classified information -- though I don't think that would preclude him from running again, nor would it preclude the same supporters from voting for him. Quite the reverse: it would be yet more confirmation that the Deep State has it out for him and the swamp needs draining more than ever. I don't know what happens if you're in jail when you win the Presidency -- I imagine you can pardon yourself.

Much as The Guardian finds him horrifying -- and I agree -- they seem to be taking their eye off the bottom line. I'd be grateful if the original artists (whose work was apparently copied without license) were to sue, and take all the money he made (if they ever managed to lay their hands on it). But the only thing that affects me is whether or not he wins office and makes decisions that he thinks will appeal to his NFT-buyers, which are almost certain to negatively impact my life.

Very nice! I've also implement a similar project that can be used to not only sign documents but also check the validity of signed documents through a simple API: https://github.com/spapas/pdf-sign-check

We use it for many years in a public sector organisation to make sure that our internal documents are properly signed.

This advice is confrontational but somewhat true.

At 47 you are at the half way mark in life. There's plenty of time left, but yes you need to get a move on.

You are a great age to meet your future wife, who will still be young enough to have a baby.

You have your health, which is the great enabler that you need to follow any of the other great advice from here.

You have great job skills, you probably don't need to face up to working evening shift at Starbucks to make ends meet.

Look on this as a puzzle with most of the pieces already solved. Just a couple more to go, and the board will become easier.

I tried it, here are my results:

Input:
Sound-powered fishing net is a net for focusing fish to a specific spot in a pool. People want fish in one spot to grab them easier to eat. People use a sound-powered net to repel fish from all directions into one spot. People then catch the fish easier and improve their caloric intake.

1. People want fish in one spot to grab them easier to eat.
2. People use a sound-powered net to repel fish from all directions into one spot.
3. People then catch the fish easier and improve their caloric intake.
Sound-powered nets are not able to be shipped to CA or MN. Sorry no C.O.D.'s

Output:
Elevator pitch:
"Our startup is revolutionizing the way people fish. We offer sound-powered nets that allow fishermen to concentrate fish in one spot for easy catching. By using sound waves, fishermen are able to quickly and efficiently catch more fish, providing more calories for their families and communities. Our nets are lightweight and easy to transport, making them perfect for people who are on the move. Join us as we make fishing easier and more efficient for everyone."

Business model ideas:
1. Charging a percentage commission on each net sold.
2. Offering subscription plans for frequent customers, with added perks such as discounts and exclusive offers.
3. Partnering with local fishing stores or suppliers to offer additional fishing supplies and equipment.

One-liner explanation:
"Revolutionizing fishing with sound-powered nets."

> Whenever I see people talking about their IP geolocation being wrong, I will reach out to them and try to fix that issue. Even if it is just one person, it really means a lot to them and to us as well.

My IP geolocation is constantly wrong (I'm using TMobile home internet). It constantly says I'm in Detroit, or Chicago, or somewhere else potentially hours from where I live. I assume T-mobile is randomizing IP address allocation at everyone routed through some giant midwestern datacenter, and Detroit/Chicago simply have the most people, but I don't know and I don't care.

But I like it that way! I don't want random website owners to know exactly where I am. I've disabled location, camera, microphone, and notification requests in my Firefox settings, blocked popups, and installed an ad-blocker. I don't understand why anyone would do any of those things differently. I do prefer some location over global randomness that might not get the language or country right, and it's slightly annoying to constantly have to set the target store when shopping at, say, Menards, REI, or Napa Auto (even though I've been automatically logged in with the same shipping address for a decade, new visits to the pages default to location-based "my store" even when that data is unavailable)... but overall, I'd rather have a level of granularity that merely tells you I'm somewhere in the continental 48 US states.

Why does getting geolocation right mean a lot to you? Why should it mean a lot to me?

Vogtie really is going to scare a lot of people off from nuclear for a very long time.

And when future generations look into why that is, Vogtie will be right up at the top of the list of reasons.
I think it's amusing as hell how the founder of Binance had a spat with SBF and was partly responsible for hurrying along the collapse of FTX (though that dumpster fire was doomed anyhow), and is now reaping the whirlwind of his own backstabbing of another major crypto bro.

How could media bias be a problem in a free market like the USA? Obviously all consumers will simply stop consuming news media that gets sponsored by big evil corporations and only support those who advocate for free open truth.

Wait, what do you mean every major news organization in the US is owned by billionaires or media conglomerates, dang, we didn't free market hard enough.
