Gorgeous article.

- Topic close to my heart.
- Loads of references at the bottom.
- Oh my god, it even features the publication date at the top.
I've seen this for months now. We have a highly upvoted tweet that is one sided with very little actual discussion as to why this may be the case. Instead it's wild speculation about this being malicious, that Elon is Hitler, and he is micromanaging toilet paper supply. Fake news is treated as fact around here as long as it fits the space man bad narrative.

Easy rebuttals here:

1. This doesn't violate the WARN act. This only requires 60 days notice, which Elon provided by continuing to pay everyone for 90 days.

2. There is no "severance letter" to receive. The severence is three months pay.

3. Twitter user didn't clarify if he was an employee or contractor. Doesn't clarify whether he was fired or laid off. Doesn't clarify whether if he was laid off if it was part of the mass-layoff or a different smaller round that didn't require 60 day notice. Didn't clarify whether he continued to be paid at all after he left.

My typical disclaimer: I am not pro-Elon. I am anti-bullshit. There is a lot of bullshit happening here. I would love to be proven wrong and have clarification around the massive amount of missing information here. I am very pro-worker and absolutely want these people to get paid.
Not to 2019 levels, but slowly coming back (metro Atlanta area).

I think this line is always at the end of every twitter story now

> A message sent to Twitter’s press email was not immediately returned. Twitter no long has a public relations team.
Same. I loved KSP and have hundreds of hours in it, but I feel like what I really want it to be is a base builder and orbital mechanics simulator, instead of just the latter.

High hopes for ksp2. Multiplayer is interesting as well, there's certainly enough space for a few friends out there.
Yeah, there's rarely the "disgusting child porn that sexualize minors" that people swear on bible to have seen it where they've seen it. It's always chalked up to "local cultural tolerances for molesting children" but ... almost feels like reading the SCP-040-JP creepypasta.

I'll have to say, very few games gave me the combination of extreme frustration as well as extreme satisfaction as KSP. Highly recommended if you're willing to spend some time learning it while failing a lot.
You can, for circleci for example: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/mrolla/circleci/late...
The comment was flagged so I don’t know what it said (the ultimate revisionism).
By the time this could be set up, making digital content by recording real-world action will be niche. It will be mostly computer generated.
its been my experience that aliexpress usually offers a similar product with about 90% of the functionality and often times more features, with no rent-seeking required.

so ill wait for my mega-walker pro's to come out instead i guess.
In the Apple VS Epic suit some of the numbers for this were actually released. Its surprising how low some of the numbers where. I think for some weeks Epic was only paying $50k/week for this (which, for the scale of Epic, is peanuts). Obviosuly for bigger games (e.g. when they gave out GTA V) it was way bigger, but the YoY cost is actually not as high as you might think.

Also remember this is suppose to be a loss leader. If they can get you hooked on a few games to draw you from Steam then you start buying your games on Epic and then they make real money
>You can say these people should have vetted their investment but that's being a bit absurd.

Is it? It's just plain old avarice. When someone comes to you and says, "give me a coffer full of money, I'll bring you ten coffers back, don't ask too many questions", you know you're gambling, don't need to be a genius to see that.

My grandfather who had like six years of formal education and lived in a village of 300 people always told me to not invest money into anything that you don't understand. That's about the level of common sense required to dodge the crypto bullet. People got greedy, and wilfully ignored the shadiness because they wanted to earn outsized returns quickly without doing anything, that's about it.
The CIA will find Sam wherever he goes. Nobody will stand up to the US Government for any amount of money. Only Russia or China could protect him and I don't see why they would.

If Sam was really, really smart, he'd have found his way into their den, so that Xi could use him as populist political treasure. I mean, Sam would be eating dumplings for the rest of his life, but hey, China is a big and interesting place!
Sorry, but the parent to my specific comment did not mention anything about Andriod Auto/Carplay. Their comment specifically said "Tesla is far behind everyone else on navigation due to the simple fact that Teslas do not have Carplay". I am pointing out this is definitely not true.
My gut feeling says that it is not impossible but you would probably need many loops around the moon to generate a sufficient coil, making the whole thing cost prohibitive. You could probably dot some solar farms around the equator of the moon and loop them all up with a big cable for a fraction of the price.
Nope, the original Pentiums at 60/66 MHz were sometimes slower than 486 DX/4 at 100 MHz, but I don't remember the specifics. Pentium at 90 MHz was already faster at all times, the 100 MHz one had no competition from that DX/4.
In what world is using porn once in a ~30 day period bleak?!?

That is all that is saying, that they used it once. That's... not a lot. So someone has wanked once in the last month. That's.... ok? (Also love the continued sexism that woman don't have a sex drive and we just conveniently ignore them with these statistics)

FFS we are sexual creatures. Most species are. Sex is perfectly natural and we really need to remove this stigma around it.
As a programmatic telephone company, they're a possible (but not really probable) base for fraudulent spam calls. With KYC, and the fact that Twilio requires you call from a number you control, fraudulent calls would be easy to trace back to a person who could be charged for the calls. Much better than status quo, where it's very difficult to get to the originating phone account, and if you could, it's probably not really connected to a person.
What part of modern theoretical physics is "outside" quantum mechanics? General relativity, sure, but arguably the most interesting problem there is how to make it compatible with quantum mechanics.
On VLC’s page it says not spyware in green and then says it has some opt-in spyware features.

It’s also interesting that Steam is listed as extremely high spyware level.
> I don't think that Apple providing a high quality narration tool with their phone which can be used on any ebook would infringe licensing terms.

Oh, it definitely would. This produces a derivative work besides anything else.

> It's not like they'd be saying "Here is this specific title for you to read/buy/rent", they'd be releasing a tool with the power to do that.

That's exactly what they will be doing from the point of view of copyright law.
I think the intended point is not that there are grifters, but that growing up in an environment where there philosophy of "not being personally responsible" that SBF's mother wrote about, created conditions necessary for delusion and (leading to) crime in such scale.
Your previous comment is exclusively observing the effect of sanctions on luxury goods.

You generally can't buy the mentioned dual-use goods in your local electronics store. Look up the "EU dual use control list", it mostly covers exotic stuff like electronics adapted to operate in extreme (temperature, radiation) environments.
Yeah, if you understand the field or are observant enough, you can tell the answer is fishy. And if you don't, you can't tell.

So what, anyone who gets a wrong idea from ChatGPT is just unsophisticated and we should ignore it? Why are you so incredibly set on invalidating any criticism of ChatGPT?

You don't see a problem with advertising this LLM as something it isn't? Lots of people seem willing to take ChatGPT completely at face value now, and walk away having learned a bunch of nonsense. And lots of them are smart people, they've just been duped by the hype into thinking LLMs can do things they fundamentally can't.
I did some napkin math. If 1 billion people each backed up 10gb, we’d almost have enough to store a copy of YouTube with zero data redundancy.

Google is massive.
Nah, they also used the same libraries from GitHub, it counts.
The scrolling/transitions animations are jittery in the left in the video, it’s a readily identifiable artifact of RN apps in fact, whereas the native one is incredibly smooth in all refresh transitions and scrolls. I wonder how difficult it is for RN to fix this. Just this one singular improvement in UX would be worth its weight in gold.
I'm a big fan of the recent Hitman trilogy, and I remember there being _outrage_ when the 3rd installment launched first on Epic. So far as I could tell, the primary criticisms of Epic Games Launcher were 1) it didn't have as-good social features as Steam (for a game that doesn't support multiplayer, who cares?), and 2) it didn't have a cart to which you could add multiple items before checkout - have you _ever_ bought more than one item from Steam at once, not counting game-and-DLC (which would typically be available as a single-purchase bundle)?

I mention this here because it's a valuable reminder that not everyone uses or experiences software in the same way as you. These people weren't wrong, they just had different evaluations of the "point" of a launcher than I did.

EDIT: and this comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34265872) lists a third reason - "exclusivity is bullshit". To which, uhhh.....sure, philosophically, I would _prefer_ for all content to be available on all platforms so I can pick-and-choose exactly the platform that I prefer. But if a) the platforms are all free, and b) the platforms all hit a minimum-bar of quality, such that being forced to use one of them doesn't majorly impact my experience, why would I care that "the icon to launch Hitman results in a different under-the-hood launcher than the icon to launch Half-Life"? (Note this is _different_ from disliking fragmentation of shows across Netflix/Disney+/Hulu/etc., because those aren't free)
Scott Manley has some great intro videos that will help.
But this doesn’t dismiss the idea that some people are genetically predisposed to be far hungrier. While true cheap and abundant calories facilitate obesity, that probably synergizes with people who have naturally voracious appetites. Someone in the pre-industrialized past wouldn’t have been able to binge on so much calorie dense food, but they may very well have felt gnawing hunger more strongly than their peers.
Sure, "commitment to the scientific method" is also a "value", if we want to be abstract like that.

Regarding your question: Depends on how much impact on my life it would have, and what exactly the decision is. I have no prepared strategies to change people's minds apart from presenting reasonable arguments and maybe slightly bullshitting my way through it at times. There was never a need for more than that.

In the extreme the response would be lies and even violence, if nothing else works, I suppose. Again, it depends on what the situation and "material impact" on my life is.
Comments moved to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34248858, which looks like it was the first submission of the paper and/or associated blog post.

I've re-upped that thread, which adjusts the timestamp (confusingly, sorry) but you can always tell from the item ID which was earliest.
I'm a crazy fast walker too, my wife is always reminding me to slow down even when I'm walking at a normal pace. I'm guessing it's in part because I have really short legs and a really long torso relative to my height so I'm doing something subconsciously to compensate for it? Everyone else seems to walk crazy slow to me though. I'm definitely not the target demo for these shoes.
Twilio and their users are the victim here... Twilio having KYC would not solve the problem, they do not the own the numbers the expensive texts are being sent to. Twilio should just enable their anti fraud systems by default (by the way this is no panacea, like every other anti fraud this is a cat and mouse game, there is often no clear way of telling that a number is premium rate, and many carriers are in on it too and use normal mobile number ranges).
I'm not sure if you read my post, but I lost the weight I gained and got back to a BMI of 22 just by going off of the med I was on. The med caused cravings and lack of satiety. Going off the med reversed the cravings. This demonstrates that cravings are biological and not caused by a lack of self-control, because I didn't need self-control before or after, and I didn't have the self-control to avoid gaining weight while taking the medicine.

Craving sweets is a well-documented side effect of mirtazapine, I'm not sure why you're having trouble accepting that.
> Indeed, and this went on for a good 10 years - possibly more - I think.

Many more. An Apple II+ from 1979 was approaching obsolete in 1984. An IBM PC from 1985 was obsolete by 1990. A 386 machine from 1990 was obsolete by 1995. A Pentium machine from 1995 was obsolete in 2000. A Pentium III from 2000 was nearly obsolete in 2005. This cycle started in the late 70s, and I guess continued until computers were "fast enough" for all the typical software they might run. Video was the last big one. Even very cheap computers are now fast enough to render complex documents and display video, more or less instantly (at least with the right software). So, for most users they subjectively seem "fast enough".

Things do seem more stable these days, in terms of general compatibility. A Pentium III machine can still boot a current Linux distro, if rather slowly. And 20+ year old USB peripherals will still work on a modern machine. That's quite a change from the era when a new, incompatible architecture or peripheral bus came out every five years.
Mirtazapine.
Again you are moving the goal posts.

I will break it down for you. The original poster said 'most expensive' not the 'most expensive on a per-sq-ft basis'. You are arbitrarily adding the words on a per-sq-ft basis because you FEEL like its much more useful. You provide 0 evidence to support this.

For example here is evidence that most people besides you feel that total cost is a much more important and useful metric. The follow sites selling homes list total cost as the main metric NOT the price per sq foot: https://www.zillow.com/ https://www.realtor.com/ https://www.movoto.com/ https://www.redfin.com/ https://www.trulia.com/ https://www.homes.com/

Edit: Here are the top three sites on google when you search "most expensive areas to live in the us". A three seems to use median home price not median price per sq ft.

Same here! So, i wonder then, who would be a viable alternative to Twilio?
Thank you, that’s very kind!
** epic. Wow, I was hoping to say more but I guess that's it. Waiting on their exclusivity bs to dry up so that we can get games through other stores without lockin (same reason Ive sworn off certain consoles for similar reasons). Theres no perfect solution but I may as well have a principled stand against something.
> It seems like the free market ideal would be to allow them and if people didn't like them they wouldn't sign them. No one telling anyone what to do.

I’ve grown to learn that arguments on labour markets and free market ideals tend to be very simplistic and, knowingly or not, always boil down to victim blaming.

When we’ve unemployed and actively looking for a job, if we have bills to pay and our budget is tight, our goal is to get a source of income as soon as possible. Consequently, we are vulnerable for unscrupulous conditions, such as non-competes. This does not mean that the job market finds them acceptable or encourages them. It just means employees that push these abusive conditions upon their new hires are abusing their dominant position to exploit workers, specially those in vulnerable positions.
Then:

- how do you run anything with that board if you cannot flash anything, I don't understand?

- I cannot use it as usb keyboard controller because of a bootrom bug? (power/data via usb-c)

Now I am confused.
I’m getting criticized a lot for noticing that the nature of our work has changed.

I suggest that we simply converse on the topic, but I guess it sounds like BS to people.

Heed my warning, you can get a model of our career to write any program you can phrase. I’m telling you, for you.
I have a cron job that uses yt-dlp to download just the audio tracks of any videos that I have saved to a public playlist, can this be a replacement for that?
Throwing out a simple "states may not restrict abortion except in the following ways" federal codification passed by Congress (in e.g. 2009) would have taken a lot more justification than overruling a previous court decision. The latter was a "whoops we changed our minds" and the former would have been more of a "only one branch of government counts and legislative ain't it!" Perhaps there are five ethically bankrupt justices serving now, but I can only count three, and it would have been good to uncover the others sooner rather than later.

Besides, if you truly have so little faith in our institutions (congratulations on paying attention!), why bother working with them at all? It soon will be time to do something else.
Fair, thanks! Implicit in my "I don't _think_ it particularly negatively affects anyone" was "I don't believe that seeing occasional non-contributive comments are a strong negative effect", but you're right to call it out explicitly.
I'm not entirely opposed to a commercial product, but the list of documented limitations does not make me reach for my wallet just yet:

1. Avoid using functions that return different values each time they are called, like random() and date('now')

2. AUTOINCREMENT keyword is not supported

3. We must use just a single connection to each database file. Do not let many apps access the same database file. Each instance must use its own db file, and then they will be replicated and synchronized using LiteSync

There are definitely obvious technical reasons for these, but it may make using the product for existing apps pretty much impossible.

Also worrisome is the lack, at least anywhere in the examples, of authentication parameters on the (proprietary, I guess?) TCP replication protocol, and no mention of over-the-wire encryption.
Yes, indeed udp2raw is very interesting. It's a while I'm playing with it and I found it stable enough. Actually, I avoid putting so much stress on my wireguard connection over udp2raw, just being able to establish SSH connection to my devices is enough for me and this method is doing great so far.

Noncompetes are a classic example of employers abusing their position and their ability to lobby for laws such as these in the first place, to benefit their bottom line at the expense of their employees.

If you had some sensitive information that an employee knows about and you are worried about losing them, why not just pay them more to stay on then, versus making them absolutely unmarketable in the workplace because all their relevant skills and experiences are illegal to be used again? What are you even expected to do in that case then? Get a job at McDonalds until the noncompete expires and you can actually send your resume out gain?
