A lot of houses get refurbished by going down to the bones and then just redoing the insulation, exterior, interior. That works fine, but you are basically just saving on the foundation and new build permit.

New homes definitely have problems, but they are not going to have the same problems as older homes (e.g. burst pipes because they were never insulated properly).
At least some percentage of all sex is rape, so by your, um, logic, the two are "intrinsically linked", and mentioning sex without bringing up rape is trying to move the Overton window.

AND the original post explicitly limited the field to adults. So even that had already been dealt with.

You are operating in the proud rhetorical tradition that calls all LGBT people "groomers"... and I'm done with you.
This is a misinterpretation of my comment. If you care about being nice, then start by trying to understand what people mean when they make a comment, rather than choosing an interpretation of the comment and responding to your own interpretation.

I see this a lot on HN. Any comment has different ways to be interpreted. It’s very frustrating when someone picks, out of the many different possible interpretations, an interpretation that allows them to argue against it.
I'm not sure halo is an issue with modern miniLEDs. I've actually worked with research-grade local dimming algorithms and it's relatively easy to get a perceptually nearly perfect picture if you have a calibrated backlight and some image processing software. These algorithms have been known known for a while but it looks like only recently got to production due to need for efficient realtime implementation (they need to run at full 60 or 120 Hz after all).

And, maybe more important, let's not forget the glare effect in our eyes [0] that tends to mask smaller halos.

A couple papers for example, [1] describes one of the better classical algorithms, and [2] is about a modern NN-based approach.

Seems plausible yet there are many counterexamples.

How would you demonstrate such a hypothesis was true?
Even if there was a bit of truth to this, it's not like the US is any better.
The thing is, the “one way” is not at all true now. Maybe it was then.

Today’s landscape is better but also very different. And when looking up how to do certain things in Python, Stackoverflow will show you a multitude of options.

The problem for me is that I dislike most of them.

No part of FOSS involves non-programmers being able to fix the code.
Not really. I don't see much of a correlation between trade linkage and conflict or lack thereof. The only thing that seems to prevent conflict is a hegemon, or an 800-pound gorilla keeping the peace.
No-one is listening because this is not a new or especially insightful observation. Nor is it wholly unknown territory, because we have many years of nationalist/protectionist/industrialist economic history to draw upon when trying to make predictions or investment decisions.
That's an interesting way to put it. There is some interest, no doubt, and there is some potential abusing that information.

Since the information was committed knowingly and willingly to the public domain, though I do not know much about it to begin with, I don't see how GDPR applies at all.

No it's not. We are still horribly dependent on China for the most basic products.
It's unlikely to be a one time thing. But recurrently letting gas sit for extended periods of time could cause issues. This mostly only applies to ethanol containing fuels. This is why boats need to use 100% gas. You should do the same for a plugin hybrid if you don't cycle the tank at least every 2-3 weeks. That's all it takes to damage a boat if it sits. Cars will be better but the repeated exposure would certainly take a toll.

Sure, from a strictly logical viewpoint you are correct. There is too much red tape and its really Google's problem to fix. And you giving $1000 wouldn't even solve the larger problem of Google not having a system for you to direct them to make the donations. But in both of those cases the project still doesn't have the $1000. You could always just give it to them, on average you'd hardly notice and you might even feel good about what you've done.

The 16" MBP is competitive, on wall power, for short periods of time before it's thermally throttled (even while the fans scream). Which usually means single core benchmarks.

The 16" MBP, at least mine, thermally throttles at the drop of a hat. Teams video conf, backups, virus scan, even small builds, etc.

The M1 in comparison is quiet, cool, not sure I've heard the fan going. So sure the performance is similar, the perf/watt is not.

The Federal Reserve was hatched at a secret meeting, according to the Federal Reserve. IOW, the Fed itself was the result of conspiring by private and public interests.

"On Nov. 24, 1910, a select group of men enjoyed a Thanksgiving dinner of wild turkey with oyster stuffing at the luxurious Jekyll Island Club, off the coast of Georgia. The resort offered a host of leisurely pursuits, but the men weren't there to golf or ride horses. Instead, the group was there to devise a plan to remake the nation's banking system. The meeting was a closely guarded secret and would not become widely known until the 1930s. But the plan developed on Jekyll Island laid the foundation for what would eventually be the Federal Reserve System."

As I said

> Not particularly difficult/onerous just easy to overlook or later forget

And as the busybox license page says

> Complying with BusyBox's license is easy. Get your act together, fight with internal inertia inside your company and it will be okay.

Neither of these statements are painting it out to be a moon mission but are acknowledging compliance is frequently a problem anyways. After all if it wasn't they wouldn't need dedicated pages about companies not knowing what to do when called out as non-compliant if companies didn't have issues staying compliant despite it being easy.

Also again don't forget the build/installation scripts in your "full source" (or an explicit comment that it is unmodified), this is another common source of non-compliance. Despite this also being extremely simple to do from an effort perspective you yourself were saying was unneeded BS just a few comments ago. The relevant text from the GPLv2 itself:

> For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable.

And the busybox license page's comment on this often going awry:

> Some companies get in trouble because although they use an upstream vanilla source tarball, they don't say what version it was, or they don't explicitly say it wasn't modified, and they don't include “the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable”. Then when we approach them for more information, they don't understand what we could possibly want, and panic. Please don't panic; just work with us.

It may not have the best UI, but Kdenlive is really powerful. It's based on the scriptable editor called "melt" - which actually saved me during the early days of the pandemic (blog post here: https://www.circusscientist.com/2020/04/09/making-a-living-d...)

Do you have any data on how long these “path dependent” effects are measurable for?

I remember reading a study on the effect of obesity on sperm counts in men, which showed a significant increase in sperm counts for the men once they lost weight after a few months.

Sperm replace themselves more quickly than other cells in the body, but presumably the same normalization should occur in this case absent some sort of persistent self reinforcement mechanisms.
Nobody really believes this story and even if it true there's no reason to think Supermicro is worse than other vendors.

I guess it implies all. To clarify, the cohort of retirement-age workers with the means to retire is experiencing a sharp rise as predicted. That contributes some to a worker shortage that should absorb those affected by layoffs like these.
>violate medical consent rights which prisoners generally retain.

Do they? I complained to my state board when medical personnel performed "care" on me without my consent while I was detained (not arrested, not in prison/jail, and at the time no warrant/court order -- just 'detained' and dragged to hospital on a hunch by an officer that there might be drugs hidden up my ass). I was told by my state board the nurse/doctor can do what they want without my consent as they are basically acting as a police officer, and that my (extremely thorough, well documented, 100+ page) claim was denied -- not only that it was denied in triage and not even assigned to a detailed investigation. The medical records clearly listed I was alert and oriented and also expressed there was no clinical evidence of emergent situation, so this wasn't some normal civil exception.

Considering the act in the article happened in Arizona and my own interaction with the state board is that it is legal for nurse/doctor to do as they wish without your consent if LEO is involved, it seems to be de facto legal. Not only that I got the bill and even though the "insurance" was listed as "ICE health care services" the debt in full was sold to debt collectors who are chasing me to this day.
LLMs don't judge truth. They judge which answer is statistically correct. There is a difference.
I'll make a different prediction. GPT-4 will be the last of 'large language models' (at least from a perspective of noteable progress).

It will also be when we realize that approach of fitting big data with gradient decent is a dead-end, after finally exhausting nearly all text we can train it on.

We'll than have to backpedal a bit and find another path for achieving A(G)I.

Yeah I know about that, and it's terrible and shouldn't happen. Thankfully that plague doesn't affect our industry, and I'd hate for it to start.

(Also worth pointing out that some of those tradesmen are legitimate contractors, and own their own tools in the same way that a legitimate software engineer contractor would own their own computer and IntelliJ license.)

> I am 100% convinced - from people around me - that those who use FB and IG don't give a damn about privacy and would rather it be free of charge.

When Apple forced apps to implement App Tracking Transparency which asks a neutral, OS-provided question to the user, only 4% opted in.

Furthermore, people generally don't care about privacy because they don't understand the ramifications of that decision (which is exactly why the GDPR was enacted instead of letting consumers and "the market" decide), but they do freak out when the tracking ends up backfiring on them.
Maybe your title already implies this, but do your weight loss via dieting. Exercise doesn't seem to help with it.
This is pretty inspiring. I had a startup and system in 2005 that was so ahead of its time that many of its features still haven't been implemented by its contemporary competitors, it's tough when I think about it.
Maybe in your case, but not always. But I do explicitly call out that I intentionally wanted a test of a "cold start". This is extremely relevant for short lived applications and processes. Think PHP, and serverless environments, etc.

The other tests are measuring already a warmed up connection.

There's also reason why I intentionally coupled "connect + select 1" as the test, because I wanted to make it as close of a comparison as possible. If it was simply a "connect", our HTTP API would be even more favorable since connecting doesn't do authentication or anything like that like the mysql protocol does.
There's a big difference between between acknowledging the existence of power gradients in the world and expressing the belief that the many opinions expressed in mainstream media consist of a single 'elite' view on globalization.

How you square that with a real world in which some of the most influential people and publications in international policy in recent years in many countries have focused on attacking trade deals, demanding withdrawal from supranational organizations and implying that entire systems are rigged in favour of specific rival countries, I do not know.
Isn't this just the 'democracies don't fight wars' conjecture of International Relations extended to corporate entities? It seems like a hubristic assertion of business over demographic interests that will look increasingly quaint in the future, much like the power fantasies about the East India Company do now.
Thanks! It was not an easy decision even after getting Preceden to where I wanted it to be financially.

The thrust of the article [1] is that the income defined as "Poverty Level" (60% of disposable income), is higher in the US than in many European countries. This definition is based on disposable income, which does not account for spending on childcare, healthcare, housing, etc., many of which are heavily subsidized, or simply less expensive in these European countries that are being compared to the United States.

Note: I appreciate your calm responses and engagement of the arguments. I concede that I should have included some refutation or concession based on the merits of the article themselves in my original reply.

Edit: to add another source refuting the Mises thesis, stating that income inequality is highest in the US among G-7 countries (https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2020/01/09/trends-...)
On a similar note to Stable Diffusion refusing to put 3 eyes in the middle of a sci-fi character's forehead: I have been experimenting with GPT-3 rewriting some of my sci-fi stuff. It's really funny because it right away tries to steer the plot into the most cliche sci-fi storyline and characterization possible where all the characters are perfect almost superhero like action heroes capable of incredible feats of strength and agility. My characters have a lot of flaws, and aren't impressive in an action movie sort of way so GPT-3 winds up being almost totally unusable.

And lose in-house knowledge experts. Lose the people with buyin on projects success. Lose the people and department that had built the interdepartmental relationships to push big ambitious changes forward (because no 'consultant' is going to recreate those relationships with their seagulling). You have to be a completely shallow business when it comes to business practices for this model to benefit you. But the lost opportunity cost of not having these resources isn't immediately visible so it's ignored. Until a company that gets it comes along and eats your lunch because they are nimble and their own entity, not a Salesforce franchise posing as a business.
> The point of "defense-in-depth" is to add additional layers that mitigate different weaknesses. Maybe making a stronger layer isn't the same as adding an additional layer, but it has the same outcome, so it feels like a distinction without difference.

Not to speak for Filippo, but adding extra layers comes with a cost. Presumably they've weighed up the cost of adding this functionality (in terms of maintainer time etc.) and decided the cost of implementing it outweighed the benefit.

This was reasonably common about three generations ago in the US, and the one thing I can say for certain, is that such a system is bad pedagogy.

The purpose of grades should be to inform students of their performance relative to expectations / benchmarks. It should not be used to rank students against each other.
The conventional wisdom is that it puts physical stress on a battery pack if you deeply charge or discharge it and could greatly extend the life of the battery if you kept it in a small range, say, 50-80%.

The flip side of it is that the system has algorithms in it that learn what the battery capacity is and how to measure it and if you don't exercise a wide range the system won't recognize the capacity it has.

What I do know is that every desktop replacement laptop I've had had the batteries functionally wear out in less than two years. The Alienware I have is good for running on battery between unplugging it in one conference room and plugging it in another one. I am not so sure if this is really the battery wearing out or the system just not using the capacity that is there.
I've tried tiling WMs several times and they inevitably drive me nuts because on normal computer screen sizes, windows frequently end up awkwardly-sized adding scrolling requirements that wouldn't be present with overlapping windows that are sized to fit the content…

If I were to commit to a tiling WM I think I'd have to replace my main monitor with a 4k TV large enough to run at 1x UI scale without the UI elements being tiny so each window gets the virtual real estate required without effectively making the "tiling" part of the tiling WM moot by maximizing every window.

This probably boils down to the type of programs one uses though… someone living in chromeless text editors and terminals all day will probably fare better with tiling than someone who spends all their time in IDEs, graphics editors, and web browsers.
