I’ve gone some unusual places, and been lucky enough to meet some very interesting and unusual people - many of them women. One of them is currently a full bird Colonel in the army, another is one of the strongest and fearless big wall climbers I’ve ever seen.

Are there women out there who could best your average man, or even an exceptional man in any of the areas I listed?

You bet.

But there aren’t enough of them to make an army. They’re outliers. And frankly, each of them had to sacrifice so much of what most women value to be that, and have such painful circumstances behind why they chose that path, that it isn’t surprising that is the case to me. And physically, each of them has had to struggle far more than their male compatriots to do it, because there are differences.

As to willingness or not - just because someone is drafted, doesn’t mean they won’t own their circumstances and do what needs to be done for the better outcome, even if they don’t like that they are there, or wish they were somewhere else.

Frankly, unless you’ve been called upon to do that, you’ll never know if you have that in you. Not everyone does.

But running away from it doesn’t help either.
I sleep much better if I stop eating after 5 pm.

One of the Keto-Doctors on youtube suggested that you can still eat gouda cheese if you feel seriously hungry, but should avoid sugar and carbs.

If I'm in the mood I drink kefir before bed, a certain kind seems to give me slapstick zombie dreams. If I have cream cheese with a certain gut-flora supplement, I might have space-dreams, where I fly space-crafts.

3rd time I needed mine fixed apple made me pay like $500 because the keyboard included part of the case or some non-sense

digusting company, my wife now refuses to use apple-anything because of how badly they treated her when trying to get her keyboard fixed because it wasn't apple's fault and bufferfly keyboards were great

even with how crap their laptops were if they made them easily replaceable and fixable it wouldn't have been a big deal but instead they blame their customers

ChatGPT Gave Me an Image
Somehow, ChatGPT has added a downloadable picture to its text. All my further attempts to repeat this experiment - failed. IMHO that's gonna be the next feature.
Very misleading headline. The entire article is about big electric SUVs like the Ford F-150 Lightning, and is barely applicable to electric coupes or sedans at all. TBH the "electric" part seems like little more than a hook for a piece that's really about vehicle weight/size/power - a legitimate concern, but not what the title suggests.
We do not need every passing thought that skitters across your neurons. We just don't.

If you really want to share this opinion, I'm sure there are forums you could do so on. But not all forums are forums for all opinions.

There a lot of thoughtful responses here except they miss the point that having an opinion is useless in almost every case except to make decisions about your own life. You will almost never change anyone's thinking expressing your opinion, and mostly it leads to a pointless debate when expressed publically (online). Just say what your preferences are and maybe why and leave it at that. Essentially no one cares what random people's opinions are.

> At first, the housing was integrated and many residents held jobs. This changed in the years after World War II, when the nearby factories that provided the neighborhood's economic base closed and thousands were laid off. At the same time, the cash-strapped city began withdrawing crucial services like police patrols, transit services, and routine building maintenance.

> Lawns were paved over to save on maintenance, failed lights were left for months, and apartments damaged by fire were simply boarded up instead of rehabilitated and reoccupied. Later phases of public housing development (such as the Green Homes, the newest of the Cabrini–Green buildings) were built on extremely tight budgets and suffered from maintenance problems due to the low quality of construction.
On that we very much agree.

I think it's definitely worth considering what could / can be done better, but people often argue deeply about things that aren't really a massive deal. You've pointed out examples that are much more interesting than "should __len__() have been called len()".

She Brought Her Younger Self Back to Life as an AI Chatbot
The author seems to find it inexplicable that"Mein Kampf" would be allowed if any other book is banned. "Mein Kampf" is a fairly common read for high school and college classes that focus on original source material. Not to say that there aren't weird things that are banned in different places, but "Mein Kampf" doesn't appear to make the argument he is trying to make.

That's a surprise for me. I find Perl pretty unreadable, but sometimes I have to squint to tell Ruby from Python--and I code in both!
It's not on the same topics you mentioned, but I feel the same - I don't agree with gender ideology but can't speak about it anywhere online.

I definitely get how you feel about becoming a 'bad guy' if you say anything at all that falls out of line witht the (particularly leftist) hiveminds. One 'wrong' move and you're done.

I feel like there need to be somewhere online that is free speech oriented but not as uncontrolled and downright awful as 4chan is. Some middle ground. I want a place where any opinion whatsoever is permitted, but not any action e.g. still no inciting violence or doxxing people.

Basically we need old reddit back, reddit before it became ridiculously overmoderated. But as long as we are at the behest of advertisers and profits, it's very difficult to make happen on a large scale.

Not to mention network effects that make competition in the social media space incredibly hard. Reddit is open source and you can spin up clone in no time, but very few people are going to use it when the real reddit is still there. What's the point of tweeting to an empty room?
You can get 32 bit MCUs for much less (~20ct). But many sensors, USB Hubs, specialized chips have some kind of small processor inside (which is often an 8051 right now) where this could be a good replacement, being low-gate-count, having good tools and a very low licensing cost (0$).

Yep. Came to say this. Having say, meta+4 for "chat" is far better than having f4 for "a chat app".

You arrive to your chat workspace, your works slack side by side with your favorite irc and matrix clients, all positioned and scaled perfectly every time. Adding more / fewer / swapping apps in is just a matter of invocation, and there the new configuration sits waiting.

The concept is expanded greatly. Shoutout to i3 and xmonad, for my personal setups.

Yeah the amount of financial support we receive is mostly dependent on individual organizations. For example in 2021 we didn't receive any large donations, only support from Tidelift.

"comparatively-unpleasant language"

This smugness is insufferable to me. What are you talking about?
Last week, about ~30% of my Google searches were instead directed to ChatGPT.

It's pretty good if you want a summary of a topic, but every web page wants to give you in depth information assuming you're already an expert. For example "What gas is in double glazing?" or "Tell me how screws are made".

It's also good for more creative things, like "Write a story about an escapeologist". I now use it for ideas for bedtime stories for my son.
My attitude is not that I'm afraid to share my opinions online because of IRL repercussions or getting downvoted, but because I know it's usually a waste of time.

Sometimes it's possible to have a simple and productive discussion online. When it comes to sharing personal political views, realistically nobody cares.
$11 a month is nowhere close to the grid upkeep cost.
I think this workflow is interesting and the title unfortunately clickbait-ish. We can read about things we find interesting without claiming X is better.
I disagree on your conclusion. I think there are certain ways of explaining your point of view amongst an ambiguous crowd.

Monologues can easily be boring. They are hard to put together for most people and you have to have implied consent from the crowd to be monologued. People don't like to be forced to be polite to listen to anyone for more than 30 seconds.

But there are certain ways of conversing where you have time to explore deeper. Unfortunately, not everyone is open to conversation for the sake of argument.
If anything, it seems that increased unionization lags behind inflation.

Which may not be surprising as high inflation discourages saving, meaning that people are more likely to buy the things they want now to not have to pay much more later, which results in businesses increasing production to fill the increased demand, requiring more labour, and thus labour finds itself in a stronger position.

As the only power unions wield is the threat of stoppage of service, the workers have to be in a strong enough financial position to be able to execute on that – to be able to live without an income for months, if not years – in order to make it a credible threat. This is why unions are typically only found in high paying professions, but during periods where the general labour pool grows stronger then that expands.

Maybe some relevant models or perspectives to consider:

- "Dopamine Sucks" Model: The typical view on design, or even the typical a e s t h e t i c is overwhelming in this way or that, perhaps even at a biological level

- Preferring-informational-over-visual-design Model: We leverage information far more effectively than visual/sensory cues

- Fluff PTSD Model: In the past we learned to interpret social signaling cues and design cues (often the two are mixed in design processes) as Jedi mind tricks to cover up a lack of circumspect treatment of other cues that also matter. Show me the raw data plz (also seen on Wall Street)

- "Pro-emotional? More like Con-emotional" Model: Programmers sometimes prioritize information so much that they neglect emotions too long, and are left to recover their emotional bearings starting from a very dark place. Brutalism is, among other things, a symbol of a stark inner environment

- "Magnificent, My Nose" Model: We got used to having plain text dissed by really shallow people who refused to give our world more than a cursory glance. So we work to present it as a strength until others are forced to give us deference [1]

He doesn’t mention what he was convicted of, just that he had heroin addiction problems. The incident leading to his arrest may have included violence, we just don’t know because he did not provide enough info.
There was a post yesterday about Arizona prisons inducing labour (birth) in inmates against their consent. Plenty of comments saying things like "they're wards of the state so consent isn't needed".

Edit: fixed a typo and clarified that it's labour (i.e., giving birth) and not physical labour.
The same people that think they're an irreplaceable 10x engineer think athletes are replaceable cogs... imagine that.
I would say that most big message boards are filled to the brim with psychopathic idiots lusting for an opportunity for a witch hunt gathered around a dumpster fire. It may be fun to pour a bit of gasoline in that fire from time to time and watch the monkey horde go apeshit (yeah, been there, done that)... but in the long run i would stick to smaller communities where you know that you can state controversal opinions.

It also helps to have separate online identities for different things (hey, this was even the case back in the 90s and before).
Do you realize you're writing this on a thread about how the latest version of qBittorrent got crappy?

This is exactly what I'm talking about. It's why I've been ignoring upgrade messages on qBittorrent (which is my daily driver) for over a year now.
> are we still in 1990s?

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of this was written in the 90s or early 00s originally, and then "minimally maintained" only when required.
Precisely. Game developers accept lower standards because they think its worth it. I don't, but they're free to work for less if they want.
just share it anonymously, but mind HN is not some tolerant place to express your views which are opposing against supporting The Current Thing, it may look more civilized/polite, but instead of slurs you will just receive here numerous downvotes (I'd like if it would not be possibly to flag submission/comment without publicly stating reason for flagging as anonymous online "heroes" do here) and that's pretty much only difference between Reddit/Twitter and HN

same thing happened to my many years long HN account (downvoting/brigading through history/bots)

personally I couldn't care less about adult incest (it's a bit more tricky between two children/minors), same as I don't care about what homosexuals do in their bedroom, unless both these groups do some pride marches about it and show it in face (same with people showing pride in being obese unable to control own appetite), so my kids can't go in street without seeing obscenities (and same I'd like my kids not seeing heterosexual obscenities in street)

as for Twitter, you can use megablock.xyz to create echo chamber to avoid being harassed, for instance if you don't like Biden and what he represents (like promoting trans thieves as waste experts), go to some of his heavily liked PR team posts on twitter and use megablock to avoid contact with people who are dumb enough to like posts of ANY politician (for me personally as matter of principle I don't "like" anything on twitter for years and if I liked something, then any politician would be the last person to like whether I agree or not with him)
I'm betting it's because of gambling. Note cards can be used more easily to produce playing cards. Sheets of regular paper become too unique when they are torn to be used for a fair card game. Most of these weird bans are attempts to prevent gambling.
The thing is that grid upkeep costs increase when people are selling power back. Who should have to pay for those increased fixed costs? Net metering means everyone pays.

The quote below is from the email sent to employees, which was also filed with the SEC: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1108524/000110852423...

> In the U.S., affected employees will receive a minimum of nearly five months of pay, health insurance, career resources, and other benefits to help with their transition.

That minimum seems to be better than the best package I've seen so far in this layoff cycle. I got two months of garden leave plus an additional 3 months of COBRA. The garden leave was mandated by WARN act (or they would have to notify me and have me work for 60 days), so the only real severance was the 3 months of COBRA.

Of all the "big" companies I've worked for, Salesforce was the top in terms of seeming to actually care about its employees and the world.
Jamison vs. McClendon: Order Granting Qualified Immunity (2020)
From a circuitry perspective, what most electricians deal with is relatively simple and obvious to an electrical engineer. Diagnosing issues in an electrical system is certain a familiar skill to any electrical engineer, so that part of the job is easy enough.

I would seriously expect a certification to be based primarily on the electrical safety/building code, possibly with some fault diagnostics stuff and basic theory of operation of the circuits involved mixed in.

I would expect little if any of the practical skills to be tested in most such certifications, so the required studying would mostly be about what the safety/building code required.

The regulators really won’t care about your skill at snaking wires through walls, ability to bend conduit into a nice curve, etc. Most practical skills needed fall into this category. If you are bad at those things, it might slow you down, require you to redo things more often, or even require you use more expensive parts to avoid needing those skills, or whatever.

Lacking such skills mostly just means you won’t be price competitive with others, which is your problem, not the governments. The government just cares that the result (and possibly intermediate steps) is safe and meets code. The fact that it took you longer than most competitors, and you made a much bigger mess than most of them isn’t really a major concern.

Meta’s Ad Practices Ruled Illegal Under E.U. Law
Sam Altman’s isn’t claiming ChatGPT will make you rich.

When you start using it, it tells you it’s a research project.

Even in its current form, it’s useful for a narrow set of uses.

It’s entirely conceivable that ChatGPT successors will be able to incorporate signals of fact vs opinion, and also authoritativeness of a source, into their training.

So yeah, ChatGPT is a toy, but that’s not bad for a research demo. But it has a lot of potential, and can help people in practical ways as it improves.
Why wouldn't it? AGI is not going to be a digital human, with human drives for food, sex, and social domination. Humans have enormous problems imagining intelligence that is not made in our image, but AGI will be structured completely differently from a human mind. We should not expect it to act like a human in a cage.
This also reveals thinking in a pre-verbal way and remembering it! Impressive.
These are two extremes, there's a major gulf in the middle, and this is something that doesn't lend itself to min-maxing. The content creators have convoluted setups that take more time to use than they're useful for because they're selling their content. My setup is simple, and after solving the major problems I had with overly simplistic systems (bullet journals, evernote, markdown files, etc.) like difficult retrieval, lack of portability, etc. over the years, I got into Roam (very early 2020?).

I went hard on organizing and templating things, and eventually found it to be more overhead than it was worth. I starting paring back since then, and moved on to Obsidian (still useful for evergreen-style notes) and Tana (more for planning and organizing projects). With a very simple organization, I'm more able to quickly store and retrieve information, and I've come to a pretty happy medium. It's not perfect, but it's saved me enough time to make the investment useful for me.

But maybe you don't have a personal use for note-taking. For someone like me, with ADHD and a horrifically bad short-term memory, note-taking saves me tons of time, daily. There's just the (not easy!) matter of prioritizing what you're storing, minimizing the overhead that comes with storage and retrieval, and minimizing the steps to retrieval.
You'd probably spend less time on setup and infra by going with application platforms such as Netlify, fly.io, Firebase, platform.sh etc - but if you want to hone your AWS skills or have an AWS app skeleton and infra-as-code from work to recycle, why not.
