I mean there are people who break into trains and loot the valuable insides, but I don't think they're actually hijacking the train, kicking out the engineer, and driving it to a secret hideout in the mountains.
From the outside looking in it seems like being terminally online has damaged him in some way. Very sad, hope he gets some help to get over what’s causing him this derangement.
Renting a UPS store mailbox to get packages is my solution. It’s about $50/month and it got rid of any potential thieves.
OK, this is nice. I've tried (and failed) to use Obsidian in the past because I have 8000-9000 Markdown files with frontmatter metadata and nested folders that I just can't get it to work with (they are typically called index.md in a nested folder structure, with separate sections and media assets in the same folder), but I also use Xmind extensively for my personal projects, so this has tickled my fancy.

As long as I don't end up with a single folder with hundreds of files, this seems interesting enough to check out.
I don't think you would need either sync or publish at work. I haven't used canvas yet, as it's a new feature, but obsidian is a key app at work for me. Up to this point at least, it's been free :)

Make a private repo, and git commit / push / pull your obsidian notes and canvases just like you would any other shared repo
So what's really going to be killed by AI is originality. The moat to cross to get to anything original will get wider as AI makes it easier to churn out rehash.
One thing I like about this product is it has no "compatibility" matrix. All compatibility issues are treated as bugs to be fixed.

I bought the lifetime upgrade many years ago, and was pleasantly surprised to get a link to download version 10 this week.
That one was later so we'll merge it hither. Thanks!
Is this new? It looks like pretty old and slow hardware.

We're those emails actually scrubbed from Twitter though? My understanding is that the scrubbed material was actual photos of his genitals.

It's have no problem with Trump getting the actual "pee tape" scrubbed. I definitely have a problem of discussion of it is scrubbed
A fatal amount of fentanyl could be undetected by a test because the volume is so tiny in the sample. Just dumb to take that risk.
I agree 100%; what can a layman like me do to fix it?
I ended up deciding to pay for a po box rather than risk leaving expensive packages sitting around. The inconvenience of needing to go to the post office sucks but the price isn't terrible and it basically just acts as insurance. I do wish there was a cheaper way to say "don't deliver any packages to my house, just hold them until 6:00 today and I'll go get them."
Why can't you just replace the gas with batteries or use it in a generator?

I don't think it's wise to give a proven monopolist company a pass on monopoly behavior just because their products is not (yet) a market leader. They use monopoly behavior to become the market leader.
I hate almost everything about air travel, but to me one "perk" is the fact I'm unplugged from the internet for a few hours. I am really not looking forward to the time when the person sitting next to me is on a phone call and chatting extra loud because they're on a plane.
What do you mean broken up?

It should be seized and either converted into a credit union (give ownership to the affected people) or a state run non-profit banking service. (And also implement the proposals for the postal service to offer banking services)

That would avoid both a lot of smaller wells fargos doing worse things and further financial damage to the economy, clients, and workers of splitting up a private company.
Well, what's the alternative to AlternativeTo then?
Well, with LCD it does not matter. It always uses the same power. Hence the question.

Here is an adjustable wrench that's pretty good:

Honestly I love this thing. It is precisely manufactured, turns smoothly, and grips well. I use it mostly for sink and plumbing repairs around the house, but I've also used it on bikes and other things. It's really nice for that because the small size means it fits in places that would otherwise be hard to manage.
Free wifi seems like a no brainer to me for the same reason that they put mirrors in elevators: keeping people occupied gives them the illusion that it is a faster, more enjoyable experience than they otherwise would. It’s relatively inexpensive and you can get away with all manner of cramming and squeezing otherwise which will have a bigger impact on margins.
Many will perceive having to pay $8 to vote as "democracy for those who can pay"? You don't say.

Especially local history - being able to go back in time before any commits were made saves you rewriting code or having to remember what something was doing before.

Otherwise the number of times I "show usages" or refactor shortcuts (rename, extract method / variable) throughout the day...

All of it out of the box as well, it's great value for money.
Some delivery drivers will still do this in the US, but due to the metrics they need to attain this level of customer service is largely in the past.

When I was growing up, you'd regularly see similar. Neighborhoods were more robust socially, and there was actually time in the day for the mailman to stop for a 3 minute chat every block with the old ladies.

These days talk to any delivery driver (friends and family have been for USPS, Amazon, and Fedex) and they'll laugh at this suggestion. They get mere seconds per drop most on most routes.

The small fraction of packages stolen evidently ends up being cheaper than paying more delivery drivers. Especially since I suspect at least a fraction of this "cost of doing business" is fobbed off directly on consumers by refusing/making it hard to get a refund in some cases.
Interesting. My dad leads the AI division for a major tech company (one of the top 10) and loathes interviewing candidates with masters degrees for the same reason. "They are smart when it comes to research but fucking clueless for implementation" I believe were his exact words.

I'm a high school drop-out and I've been doing software dev for 17 years or so, currently a senior dev in FAANG. My experience with master's degree holders has been about the same and I often surpass them on teams I've been on when it comes to promotions or getting recognition. To be fair though, two of the most brilliant devs I've ever meet in my career had master's degrees.

Google maps is a map, you can map out the routes yourself just like with old maps, but it is way faster to do so than with paper maps.
>don't address claims of the original study

They address several things, like the low R-squared value (0.074) or the fact that interest groups win against both the rich and the middle class at roughly the same rate if you use their own data sets.

>They cite academic work that divides the country into four groups: the middle class, the rich, business interests and non-business interests. (This is not a covering set, which is already a red flag.)

These groups are literally from the Gilens study, not the rebuttal. If you view this as discrediting the rebuttals then you should view it as discrediting the original paper as well.

>they point out the rich are more supportive of public campaign financing than the middle class. This is a second red flag: It is unlikely that people that use their money to influence legislative outcomes are more supportive of banning the practice than the general population.

This policy preference comes from the surveys used by the original Gilens survey, so if you view this as discrediting the rebuttals then you should view it as discrediting the original paper as well.

>The original study claimed that (1) lobbyists and oligarchs are basically writing legislation and deciding who gets elected, and (2) there is no correlation between popular opinion and actions of congress. You can't rebut that by claiming that the 90-99% usually agree with the 50-90%, and congress doesn't really seem to favor one of those groups' opinions over the other.

The original paper explicitly claimed that

>ordinary citizens get what they want from government only when they happen to agree with elites or interest groups that are really calling the shots

So it makes plenty of sense to exclude those instances where the two groups agreed if you're trying to determine how influential their policy preferences actually are.
But does it use less power than #FFFFFF?
1) Breaking up does not mean shut down. They just need to be split into smaller pieces.

2) A vacuum provide ample opportunity for these people to start a new, honest bank as if there will be a need for it.

3) Sometimes evil just needs to be shutdown, Im sorry these people are working for a criminal organization, someone should have spoken up (Whistleblower money is huge for these types of things).

I feel like the facial recognition part of this is a red herring. The two bigger problems I see here are banning people because of what their co-workers are doing, and enforcing bans when people show up instead of when they buy their tickets.

Compatibility is owed to WinUAE, the best Amiga emulator, which is also Open Source.

Credit where it is due. Not Amiga Forever, in this case.
You missed the point, which is that these pronouns are explicitly never used when speaking to you. They are not used for addressing you. They are in reference to you, so they will only occur when other people are speaking to one other.

> It has the same basic concept of wealthy, pretentious young adults making bad choices, but it's set in NYC and Las Vegas instead of a rural liberal arts college.

This (the original, not the Vegas-and-NYC thing) complete with the liberal arts college (or New England prep school) setting, is practically a little sub-genre all its own. Some kind of consequence of a high percentage of people who go on to write novels going through the prep-school-to-liberal-arts-college path (as Graeber notes in Bullshit Jobs, it's a whole lot easier to succeed in most sorts of literary careers when you can afford to go years on end with little or no pay, early in adulthood) plus write-what-you-know. There are tons and tons of books like that, some of them famous and others not.
Except sama has quite explicitly said that these LLMs are not AGI and that there's a long way to go. Presumably it was deleted because either: it is counter to the lie sama is telling about his belief about what is/isn't AGI... or the author was mistaken in their understanding of what sama said. I assume the latter, since ChatGPT is obviously not AGI.

"[...] interesting to me how many of the ChatGPT takes are either "this is AGI" (obviously not close, lol) [...]"

Isn't that exactly the parent's point?

They are saying that many unprofitable companies haven't done their layoffs yet, because they're still coasting on huge funding rounds from 2021. Thus, there are more axes yet to fall.

Not sure how much stock I actually put in that argument -- lots of VC-funded companies are already doing layoffs, too -- but I think you're sort of agreeing with them.
> The agreement with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau includes more than $2 billion in “redress to consumers,” [...]

Looks like funds have been allocated specifically for that. Whether $2 billion is enough or not, I don't know.
Depends on what you consider valuable or surprising. Nothing revealed so far shocks me all that much. A few people at a company with a very much centre-left culture had it out for right wingers, sometimes for less justifiable reasons, sometimes because the person they disliked had been skirting around the rules for years. What a shock.

Jack as expected generally was pretty consistently seen pushing back against such notions but not very strongly. One thing the Twitter files did reveal to me is that Jack is exactly the sort of person I thought he was, mostly a voice of sober second thought relative to those reporting to him.

The thing I've found most interesting about the Twitter files is how Musk insisted on a selective leak honestly. Because this leak was so selective, I don't have much choice but to presume what he isn't leaking is exculpatory evidence. I don't see how Twitter was run under Agarwal to be any worse than how it's run under Musk honestly, it just sucked in a different way, and mostly wish Jack was still in charge. Because you know, he actually believed in Free Speech and wasn't a phony like Musk.
I just picture someone worrying about people dialing phone numbers while driving in the car in 1990? What a stupid thing to worry about since obviously the cord won't be long enough.

People aren't going to want to have a phone on them at all times anyway and risk possibly breaking or losing the phone. It will just hang on the wall like the rotary phone in a stand so you know where it is but you won't have to worry about the pesky cord anymore.

Technological progress is a linear process that is always good with zero higher order cultural effects based on how new features are used in practice.

Face recognition? What could possibly go wrong. I recognize faces literally every day!
I mean, everyone knows that the polls are so ridden with bots that they're practically useless.

And despite that, the man who bought Twitter and complained about the bot issue, launches polls to decide the policy (and future) of Twitter.

> it's not income to loan ratio

Here, it literally is; typically 4.5x the annual household income is the most the average bank will lend you. There is also a separate affordability test which works the way you describe. https://www.google.com/search?q=uk+mortgage+to+salary+ratio
The best place for finding that kind of work is your Rolodex (or Linkedin connections) because you won't have to convince strangers to hire you and people you know may point you to someone who has work even when they don't.

It's usually better to have a leg up than to start from scratch.

Good luck.
You should check out rust. The compiler reasons about side effects + parallelization, and testing for you, but you get (nearly) complete low-level control.

As a bonus, you'll be able to write insufferable comments like these in HN threads.
Could you point me in the right direction please? It does talk about OLED, but I couldn't find where it specifically referred to the question here.
Certain businesses are possible only in the high-trust societies. As the US approaches Central American trust levels (especially in the urban areas and states like California), many business models will become non-viable.
> M2 Extreme would be cheaper for Apple

I doubt it would be all that cheap.

TSMC is said to be charging $20k for a 3nm wafer, and initial yields for a large die size made on a brand spanking new process node wouldn't be expected to be great.
You've been downvoted, but I'd agree; most of them are not necessarily "visually obvious" and more "stuff you can't easily change".
Was passing trough Transfagarian when a downhill bicycle race was happening. Some police officers were revving their motorbikes and throwing rocks at a bear to keep it away from the contestants. Lots of bear cubs along the way too. Everyone just keeps feeding them...

Not sure what to make of the situation. The bears didn't seem hostile and none of the locals were too scared of them.
> construction technology

Isn't it a bit odd to present a chart that shows buildings to be the least-important component of the problem, and then go on to talk about only that small component? Especially saying "Buildings are a surprisingly large source of emissions" when the graphic just above that sentence shows that buildings are not.

There are in fact lots of pyramids and flatter proto-pyramids of various sizes! The total number is probably in the thousands, I believe.

Many have also been demolished in ancient times so the stones could be reused. For example the pyramid of Djedefre, son of Khufu who built the famous Great Pyramid. Instead of competing on size, the son made a smaller pyramid of more beautiful stone, but unfortunately the stone was too valuable to let stand and was repurposed over millennia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_of_Djedefre
Huh, didn't know there is a term for that.

What I was talking about is something like this: SRE team has 1 member and productivity of 1, that person is overworked and if vacation is taken productivity goes to 0.

Hire second person, after onboarding productivity goes to about 2 (i.e. linear scale). Hire third person, productivity will probably be a little under 3 because now they need to spend time to be on the same page. Vacation is still shaky because with such small team, knowledge will be 100% siloed due to outside performance expectations ("hey you worked on X last time, I'm going to assign this ticket to you" repeated many times).

Eventually team grow to a point where they can handle all work load, share knowledge between each other and take vacations without fear (btw if you fear taking vacations - don't, it's not your fault if team can't handle without you).

You can think of "work load + process" as a data structure. If work load is bog and process requires a lot of synchronizations (every meeting is essentially a Mutex for the entire team) - you won't get linear productivity increase, instead you will increase lock contention.
> Example number ten thousand of why the "vote with your dollars and don't do business with them" defense of capitalism fails completely in practice.

Example number ten thousand of how everything bad is blamed on "capitalism." It's a lazy, shallow, knee-jerk reaction that is plaguing this site and ought to be forbidden by the guidelines.

When you apply for a mortgage you are informed in advance that it might be sold. In fact, when I got mine I was told it would be sold. This information is given to every applicant as a legal requirement and people who don't like it don't need to go through with the application.

There are also significant legal requirements for mortgage servicers (such as Wells Fargo) which constrain them to such an extent that they are pretty much interchangeable. This is far from a free market. If you have a beef with this system, you should take it out on Congress and the CFPB, not "capitalism."
It's mostly only the most progressive white people I've met that have all this "trouble" with descriptions like POC. Same people who like to push LatinX

I think that's 100% legal, even in NYS. You can't deny entry based upon membership in a protected class, but other than that, you can't be forced to serve someone!
Or is it advancements in communication technology that enables what you describe? What makes a bank an international bank?
> That's an uncharitable interpretation. People have an objection to speculations like many-worlds because they aren't corroborated by observation, and by nature can't be (iiuc), and are therefore unscientific (though not necessarily untrue). Well-established physicists like Sabine Hossenfelder hold this position and it's not as clear-cut as "the facts don't care about your feelings" like some make it out to be.

The disagreement with MWI and the general disdain for QM are separate issues. MWI is an interpretation that doesn't necessarily invalidate the framework, but attempts to extend it. However there's also been a general disdain for QM from various folk who attempt to completely replace it.

Whether Sabine Hossenfelder likes a theory or not is not really an argument, given you're arguing from authority. As an example of her clickbaity title where she doesn't really seem to respect QM:

https://backreaction.blogspot.com/2019/05/quantum-mechanics-...

I think it's well known in the theory community QM can be updated for a more complete framework (carefully obviously), but the idea that QM is "completely wrong" because it's incomplete or introduces some complexities she doesn't like, is completely laughable. It's akin to saying classical mechanics is "completely wrong" because it doesn't predict quantum behavior (despite many anti-QM people claiming QM is wrong because they want to impose their classical understanding onto the quantum world) and then ignoring modern engineering, which uses classical mechanics to describe buildings, cars, machines, etc...
Why? That is a bizzare thing to want.
I do not think so. We know nothing. We really cannot answer if there is life out there or not at our stage. Not until we figure out the loads of problems hampering our very ability to *start to answer the question in earnest. Not to say our efforts thus far do not count as they do.

My point is we do not even know with certainty if life rose on Venus or Mars within the known scope of time we think has passed as an example. That is a question we could for sure answer in the next 100 years with relative certainty. I would hope we could in any case.

And once we get to the point of answering that question.

In my personal opinion -- of course there is life out there in the universe. It is too big and vast and has presumably been around for too long for us to be the only ones.

Sure the universe is crushingly vast compared to our small bits and pieces of knowledge. But so is our imagination. Whether it is a Hollywood set of a sci fi show or a astrophysicist rolling through endless equations; one day we just might find the answer.

This is one of those things we will not know about until we do.
