Just a wild thought I had. I have no idea how screen readers treat indents, but it would be interesting to have indents indicated by speech tone. So the text on the same indentation level has the same tone and the town gets lower or higher the farther it is from the screen edge. There's probably a better solution, but I felt like sharing a random thought.

If you're really new, I'd say either python or c# (unless you have a goal in mind). C++ and rust are both a lot more difficult to learn if you don't have any background imo. The scoping and memory management rules will distract you from learning the basics. Something like python with jupyter notebooks is pretty much perfect for learning or putting together quick projects, and c# to me feels like a more forgiving c++ with a less crufty stdlib.

Plus rusts strict memory management rules don't really translate to other languages, and c++ has a habit of changing wildly. The c++ of 10 years ago barely looks the same whereas python and c# feel less like the goalposts are moving.
Same. I’m one of those lucky few who had futzed with BTC in 2011 when it was almost brand new and then forgot about it till 2019 when it started spiking.

I spent two weeks digging through boxes and imaging hard drives before miraculously finding my wallet.dat from 2011 that I luckily hadn’t encrypted or even passworded lol.

Had 3.25btc in it (I remembered the .25. The extra 3 were a shock.). I ended up paying for my home down payment with it.

You shoulda seen my broker’s face when I showed up with almost entirely crypto to fund the mortgage. It took them several weeks to find a company who would be OK with crypto being fronted. I ended up having to come up with a way to prove it was mine which was fun. Had to back track through the blockchain tracking the history of the transactions, wallet address creation. Show I had the private keys etc. they finally accepted it as after a month of back and forth.

Then I didn’t cash out entirely when it spiked to $60k and now I am regretting that lol.
> Their problem is that they refuse to put together a well formatted resume, apply to jobs, and accept that they may have to start at the bottom of the career ladder.

I see this a lot. Younger people who have been led to believe by incendiary reddit and twitter rants that everyone lived like some Leave it to Beaver sitcom in the near past and they should be able to own a house and support a family at 19 on a McDonald's salary, and anything short of that there's no point participating because it's not fair. There are a lot of legitimate grievances in there regarding stagnating real wages and student debt etc. but for many it's just an excuse.

When you get things like "Activists have protested the arrival of [tanker LNG] acquired through fracking", during an energy crisis, it seems fair to point out that some people are just unreasonable.

Environmentalism's greatest enemy has been environmentalists.

Teddy Roosevelt et al. were able to get more done because they played realpolitik, and realized that getting 50% of what you want, even if you have to hold your nose at some compromises, is better than getting 100% of what you oppose.

I don't know why it's illegal to partake of whatever substance/plant/medicine I choose to partake in, anyways. If I intentionally fused it with a far more dangerous chemical, and I don't make that obvious to the purchaser, then yeah, that should be a felony. Just like how false advertising is something you can take to court.

We treat the population too much like children. Let people make their own decisions. If it kills them, it kills them. They made their choice. If they want help, they'll seek it on their own.

If you become a public nuisance, and/or threaten or injure people due to the influence, those are also obvious offenses.

If you drive under the influence of chemicals that reduce your motor skills and reaction time, and alter your perception of reality, that is an obvious offense.

Other than those cases which we can almost all agree should be intervened, why are we telling people what they're allowed to do with their bodies?
Okay, that's really fascinating that the older NSL speakers don't have Theory of Mind (something typically seen emerging around 5 years old) but the younger ones do.
ME: "Is a leaf falling from a tree is an unusual occurrence?"

ChatGPT: "No, it is not unusual for leaves to fall from trees. It is a natural part of the life cycle of a tree. In the fall, deciduous trees will typically lose their leaves as a way to conserve energy and prepare for winter. The leaves turn color and eventually fall off the tree, making room for new growth in the spring. So while it may be surprising or interesting to see a leaf fall from a tree, it is a common and normal occurrence."

Humans are the most insane species on this planet. Most problems of society do not stem from a lack of resources, but from a severe cluelessness of our own nature. If you could ask any animal for advise on the human condition, I'd bet they'd be utterly baffled as to wtf we're doing or trying to do. Mushrooms give perspective. Among all the noise, they tend to reveal a more sane view of life and let people recognize what's truly important. I think if more people are open for trying it society will likely change for the better.

I worked at a Very Large Financial Company, doing a lot of internal automation type stuff. The cost per customer interaction was very high (we didn't really outsource many things on that side due to regulations needing Series 6/7/etc). Sending mail, receiving a piece of mail, getting a phone call from a customer, all of those really cost a lot of money, and reducing those volumes, and lowering the cost were a huge driver for us. Once you include overhead and stuff, its not unreasonable that a call center employee (especially a skilled one) is costing $50+ an hour. So someone that sends in a piece letter instead of a webform, and then calls and talks for 30 minutes, that might have cost $30-50 to process all of that. It adds up fast.
Ask HN: Code libary design for GPT AI systems?

Do you have factual information backing your statement? I have, to take the two dominant Christian fundamentalist interpretations:

- for Mormonism: "Numerous Prophets have instructed that a Mormon woman’s place is in the home. Only Federal anti-discrimination laws, which the Church vigorously opposed, and the threat of Federal prosecution, forced the Church in 1970s to stop terminating female employment upon the birth of her first child. While no longer as clearly directed from the pulpit, a women’s place in Mormonism remains very different than that of a man. Even into the 1980s, President Kimball reiterated that “…a mother’s place is in the home!” The idea of complementary spheres for men and women rules Mormon doctrine and is the answer to almost every question about the lack of power for women in the church." [1]

- for the Southern Baptists: "A wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ. She, being in the image of God as is her husband and thus equal to him, has the God-given responsibility to respect her husband and to serve as his helper in managing the household and nurturing the next generation." [2]

This is what these religions teach about women, there is no denying or whitewashing that.

Programming: Integer Multiplication
Russia believed that it could achieve a lightning-fast invasion of Kyiv that would enable them to install whichever puppets they wanted, and appear to have put more effort into planning their new puppet government than the actual military invasion.

They still do not have the necessary military force to conquer Kyiv, which is a necessary precondition for achieving regime change. However, even a conquest of Kyiv isn't necessarily sufficient to effect regime change; you'd need to demonstrate control of sufficient parts of the country to make a rump government or government-in-exile infeasible. That's likely to require controlling more or less everything east of the Dniper, Kyiv, and Odesa. Or basically everything outside of Western Ukraine around Lviv.

In short, Russia did not have anywhere near the military force needed to achieve even their most limited war aims if Ukraine were able to put together any kind of defensive force (which they did).
"You can get a measurable improvement by prompting GPT specifically with an instruction to say "I don't know" if it's unsure."

That won't work. It's easy to get the model to say "I don't know" with the correct prompt, but since the model doesn't even have "knowing" in it, it's just outputting "I don't know" based on a random roll of the probability of its training text having someone said "I don't know". The text "I don't know" won't actually correspond to whether the model knows something or not.

And while we can get into a lengthy and philosophical debate about what it takes to "know" something, my previous paragraph is fairly robust to any sensible definition of "knowing". Write your favorite definition of "knowing" something, then look at the architecture of what GPT actually is on the inside, and tell me if it can actually "know" something based on that architecture. You can of course write the more-or-less begging the question "knowing is a matter of producing correct text when prompted about some fact", but I would have numerous questions around applying that definition of "knowing" to anything other than GPT, or what it means when GPT confidently confabulates something. Don't forget to write your definition and do your analysis in the context not just of GPT outputting the correct capital of Oregon when prompted, but the way it will confidently discuss all sorts of things that don't exist. Your definition should be able to account for some sort of difference between confidently outputting correct data and the way it will equally confidently output complete fiction, and indicate some manner in which GPT has some sort of state difference that indicates it is somehow "aware" of when it is doing one or the other. Because I would say if it can't "tell" if it's confidently emitting facts or confidently emitting fiction that there is a very important and real sense it doesn't really "know" the facts, either. (And I absolutely would apply that standard to humans without question; if you can't tell if you're making stuff up or not, you don't know whatever it is you're talking about.)
The cost of fraud far exceeds the cost of losing one customer. The cost of losing dozens of customers costs more than prioritising someone’s issue.

I have no insider knowledge of Stripe but I find it entirely plausible that Stripe will forever have cases like this. Serious fraud could cost Stripe hundreds of thousands, potentially even millions, and so there will always be cases that are out of the ordinary and don’t fit into the already defined processes. If you’re a low level employee, you do not want to take decisive action that costs Stripe a million dollars.

Stripe grows, fraud grows. Fraud is a cat and mouse game: the question should be, is Stripe effectively solving previously encountered problems? Given how much Stripe has grown, and how relatively consistent the number of complaints are, I’d say Stripe is doing a very good job.

I am sure Stripe could do a better job at handling these cases that fall through the cracks, but that’s a separate issue, because it ultimately comes down to having someone to take accountability and ownership of the risk. A month turnaround on this is totally reasonable.
You could argue that because this is a liability issue, something that drains our collective efficiency, and isn't a profit center for any business, that it should be regulated by the government to some degree.

The CFPB for what it's worth has at least somewhat solved the predatory nature of certain banking practices, I've heard plenty of stories of threats to escalate to the CFPB getting real results for customers.
"Toxic Masculinity" is an idea created by men's groups [1] to describe the stresses on them that make them unhealthy and come from some cultural ideal of manhood. It was literally created by men as language to separate discussion the good parts of societal expectations from the damaging parts. A large number of people (that is, everyone who wants to talk about it sincerely) still use precisely that meaning. It's only those people who look for every reason to get upset who willfully misinterpret it as an insult on the concept of masculinity.

"Toxic masculinity" is men examining themselves and seeking to reject the parts they don't like. There's no hate involved at all. The whole thing is an exercise in self-expression and self-determination.

> If they added a quarter million homes, do you think they would still be short another quarter million homes?

Not in this market, haha. The number was based on the quantity of houses added vs the quantity of jobs added in SF and the surrounding area. (From [1]: "For example, from 2012 to 2016, the San Francisco metropolitan area added 373,000 new jobs, but permitted only 58,000 new housing units") But over time? Maybe.

> Apartment prices in dense cities don’t drop?

There are very few cities where supply of housing is allowed to meet demand for housing - but as I mentioned, Japan is a great example. Japan hasn't seen an increase in the cost of housing since edit: [1995, not 1990 as I mistakenly claimed in GP post]. [2] Compare to the US. [3] What happens is that they stop going up in price.

> Controlled substance act is not a gray area anywhere in the US as far as I know. There is nothing gray at all about federal LEO raiding a dispensary on private non-federal land. These dispensaries are basically depending on the kindness of federal agencies to look the other way. As soon as they become political enemies with someone they are cooked.

Your last two sentences are correct, but there are actually grey areas here. It's actually more complicated than it seems. IANAL, but I have worked in drug policy previously, so I have worked with lawyers who are very well-versed on the nuances of this law.

The ambiguity isn't whether marijuana falls under the CSA (it does) - it's the extent to which federal agents can pursue violations of it in specific circumstances. Especially since this often involves the cooperation of local law enforcement (ie, subject to the state), and some states even statutorily prohibit local law enforcement from assisting federal law enforcement with matters that are legal under state law.

A lot of it is grey specifically because aspects of these issues haven't been definitively tested in court in recent years, and as time goes on, they become more murky because state laws change, and federal agents become less excited about pressing the issue with the possibility of an unfavorable court ruling.

> But federal land is definitely the worst. I had a federal agent obtain a search warrant to strip search me and drag me to a hospital and 'internally search' my GI tract because they claimed there were drugs up my ass. It's truly insane.

I'm sorry that happened to you. That's awful.
It can be parsed but you cannot reliably format it.

It says that you can find a new job in your new location, continue to work your current job remotely or start a new business to qualify. Seems like the remote work category would be the easiest sell.
> we’ve chosen to reward in society

It's not a conscious choice. And it's not a choice with even odds against the alternative. It's choice with more benefits than deficits.

Historically (back to the very beginning of us as social animals) these are the type of people that quickly and surely make high risk and high reward decisions. And those are the types of decisions that determine life or death, feast or famine, in the wild.

Remember that most companies don't really trust their support employees to behave honestly. There are often thousands of them, and the turnover is high, and the opportunity for an employee to credit $1000 to their mates account and then not show up to work again is rather high.

I think that's why support employees aren't given very many controls to override the way the system works...
Safe and sane refactoring is impossible even in mid sized code-bases without static types.

Charles Boix in "Political Order and Inequality" posits that feudalism is a particular form of "the looters are in charge, because they can be" as contrasted with the more rare republic where there is more equality among the power-sharing producers. Republics can involve various shades of "republic at home, looters abroad" e.g. the Athens of Perilces. Republics are not very common nor large nor long-lived, at least up until the 18th century or so. Military technology and who can afford it is a big factor.

More to the original topic, republics per Boix must prevent looting from the producers; this includes both external agents--"special military operations", barbarians on the frontier, foreign commercial agents who banana your republic, etc--and internal agents, who could be those welfare queens, men out of a job and certainly not looking (I mean why would you??), or plutocrats making out like bandits.

Addiction and excessive use are the only things about drugs, including alcohol, that tend to break apart family and community. If there's no stigma attached to occasional and social use of psychedelics or other drugs then I don't see how they would negatively impact family and community any more than occasional use of alcohol does. I agree that some people will suffer negative consequences from drug use but upon close examination of those cases it's very rarely the drug itself that is the source of the trouble. People abuse drugs in order to escape otherwise inescapable situations in their lives, if every day you wake up to misery and pain then taking a pain killer or dissociative is the easiest way to escape that and often the only way if the person has no family, community or healthcare support.
