I think you may be right, at least in the developed Western nations. However, there are plenty of countries someone could settle in that have less developed infrastructure, and economies. You would be able to live in the same standards as several decades ago if you worked remotely for a small number of hours a day.

I don't mean this to denigrate these countries, but the living standards in some countries are very different. These countries are often "cheap" by Western standards. You could settle in the Balkans, for example, and work a few hours each day, four days a week, and cover expenses very easily with a freelance salary.

I know several Americans who moved to Croatia on DN visas specifically because they could only afford to live there on their freelance salaries.

>quiet wireless mouse and keyboard

Which models did you buy? I am looking over 2 months now with unlimited budget and have no luck.

Keyboard:

* standard US layout

* should be really quiet for my night sessions

* available in EU

Mouse:

* big size

* standard 3 buttons and wheel

* quiet clicking and scrolling

I have currently Microsoft Sculpt Keyboard (still working but worn out) and Logitech M330 (too small).

Siemens NX used to be available on macOS, up until about 5-6 years ago. However, Siemens found few customers were adopting it, so they discontinued it.

Apparently, one of the reasons for its lack of adoption, was lack of a native macOS GUI – instead it ran under X11. https://community.sw.siemens.com/s/question/0D54O000061xMQgS...

If Apple really cared about it, I'm sure they could have worked out some deal with Siemens to keep the macOS edition viable, even improve its UI to be native and more usable. It would require them to move away from viewing themselves just as a customer, into more seeing it as an investment into their own platform (making it viable for more use cases.) Sad to say, Apple doesn't seem to think like that much (or maybe some people there do, but not the people whose opinions really count)

Well, when you consider that we react to global crisis like a pandemic with more confrontation, than cooperation (there was no real exchange of technology between west and east and patents and licencing were still more important, than producing enough vaccines) and to the climate crisis rather with more wars over whats left of the ressources, than to unite and solve the problems - no, we are not.

They also made a statement last year[1], about needing to conserve water a lot more and be responsible.

They have lotion in the fabric. You probably want to wear them more than once, if possible, maybe stretch them to a couple days if you didnt make them gross right away. Once you wash them they turn into regular fuzzy socks.

But on those days that they are fresh, there is nothing like them. I have a stash tucked away for special days, and once they are done, they get added to the normal fuzzy sock rotation. Turns out you can wear black fuzzy socks pretty often.
"In short, if the new hypothesis is accurate, it shows that our Paleolithic ancestors “were almost certainly as cognitively advanced as we are” and “that they are fully modern humans,” Bacon told Motherboard. It also means “that their society achieved great art, use of numbers, and writing” and “that reading more of their writing system may allow us to gain an insight into their beliefs and cultural values,” he concluded."

It remembers me the first chapter from "The Everlasting Man", Chesterton: https://www.worldinvisible.com/library/chesterton/everlastin...

"In fact, people have been interested in everything about the cave-man except what he did in the cave. Now there does happen to be some real evidence of what be did in the cave. It is little enough, like all the prehistoric evidence, but it is concerned with the real cave-man and his cave and not the literary cave-man and his club."

I remember first time that I read it, I thought "and if the cave was just their kindergarden, where the cave-kids just spent their time drawing in the cave-wall"
It's an issue with the zoning laws. Back when it became illegal to ban black people from your neighborhood the next best thing was to ban the kind of housing that black people could afford. So the only place where it's legal to put the kind of housing that addresses the problem is in the city centers which were already established and therefore out of scope for the zoning restrictions.

Some of these are viable payment processors, but if you're trying to run anything vaguely like a market, it's hard to replace Stripe. I've tried.

In detail, something that handles both credit card payments from users and ACH payouts to users, possibly with some substitutions like debit instead of credit or wire instead of ACH. Ideally allowing user-to-user payments without having to float the money yourself. Stripe is handling some big regulatory hurdles for you, like KYC.
How do I find people interested in my free generative AI dataset?
I’m working on a generative AI startup and, as a part of that, want to meet more potential partners and customers in the industry. This is a relatively nascent space and I’m having a hard time finding established communities to plug into.

I created two free datasets containing screenshots and detailed metadata from thousands of the world’s most popular websites, and I my hope was that they would help to get my foot in the door. I’ve posted a 1,000 website dataset on Kaggle and a 10,000 website dataset on my company site at https://silatus.com/datasets.

I’ve also shared the datasets in the LAION Discord channel for text to image datasets. Do you have any other ideas for places I can share these free datasets?
I have worked for a big (probably more successful) competitor to Jane Street, that uses in its different offices C#, C++, possibly some Java that I'm unaware of, and for non-production systems a very large mix of everything under the sun (Python, R, etc.)

alas, in the massive mono repo where I work, this is not the case.

Wealth is not utility. There are very strong reasons to think that the greater the level of absolute wealth, the greater the impact of relative condition vs. absolute condition is on what people actually experience, and that therefore, as the overall level of wealth increases, growth with poor distributional features goes from being beneficial (yes, some people are getting much richer, but a large mass of people are going from starving to less starving) to neutral to a net negative in social terms as the baseline moves up.

Now, of course, the best solution, if and to the extent possible, is to keep the growth and lose the distributional problems, rather than the other way around.

Housing costs are a basket of the cost of the housing unit itself and land costs. Regulation limiting how densely housing may be built atop land, when this limit is lower than the number of housing units demanded, is what causes the Red Queen's race dynamic.
I find it very surreal that the first performance degradation on the matrix.org homeserver in about 6 months warrants its own HN thread - I guess it's a testimony to how reliable people have grown to expect the server to be these days! Fwiw, this was very much a partial degradation over about 3 hours caused by a pathological database query, and most people didn't notice it. The biggest issue was that to-device messages were delayed, impacting new E2EE sessions.

Eitherway, apologies for the degradation. Obviously anyone on their own server won't have been affected anyway.

My initial reason for putting my desk together was also height. Too-tall desks were giving me literally debilitating neck and back problems; my neck was so fucked up it caused constant dizziness which took months of physical therapy and daily exercises to only partially alleviate.

I don't think the class of problems talked about in here are necessarily the biggest problems. Rather, it's politically motivated decision-making. Not in the sense of insert your pet US politics issue, but rather about capturing influence within the organization to make themselves status-y. For example, Google managers over-inflating their team numbers to make their resume look better.
"Sheltered from the reality of inter-organization politics" is a pretty wide bucket. I've been on teams that constantly fight with each other to get resources and executive attention, and I've been on teams that collaborate with each other to make the best decisions taking into account everyone's constraints and capabilities. In my experience there's a huge qualitative difference that doesn't have much to do with hiding or disguising anything.
> OMG! I'm not making 250k a year, i'm a failure, I don't have a TRILLION dollar startup, I'm a failure (not saying you feel this way) but you get my point.

I struggle with this thinking. My job is nothing glorious -- boring, plain SWE state government work. I feel unvalued and unchallenged, but I also do not feel confident enough in my abilities to make any meaningful changes. What if I leave and/or and can't find anything? What if I find something and cannot perform well enough to keep it?

I feel like I am not "ready" to leave because I need to gain more valuable skills and knowledge, and I won't get it at my current position (Gov isn't really known for being up to date or using highly valuable tech stacks). I know I could probably accomplish more if I buckled down and put in the work, but I just don't have the mental energy or drive to do so for some reason.

But what if I do land some killer gig? Will I finally be happy? Probably not, and I never want work to be my entire life -- just a means to fund other areas of my life. So, I often flip-flop on if this whole "career game" is even worth playing. . .

Or they're worried about leaking secrets, which is a different matter entirely. The amount of copying needed to leak secrets is far lower than the amount needed to commit copyright infringement.

If Copilot is trained on Microsoft's code and accidentally regurgitates a comment, "// for 2024 Xbox", it has done one but not the other.

There are a lot of less-than-optimal possible outcomes between "create the best possible free open source library" and "utterly ruin."
I guess I'm a bit late for this thread, but this just occurred to me because I had to pick up a package: I got a little sign with the UPS, Fedex, and Amazon logos on it that says "deliver packages here". I put it on my porch, so that the guy drops the package where I can see it through the window. I think it cost $10.

Before buying that sign, here are places where I've found packages:

* My yard, helpfully hidden behind a flowerpot to fool thieves (and me)

* My neighbor's yard for some reason

* The sidewalk in front of my house

* Right in front of my outward-opening door, so that the package blocked the door from opening.

Ever since getting the sign (~6 months) all my packages have been dropped in exactly the right spot. I think the logos are important, because it draws the guy's attention.
Grind enough leetcode and this becomes reality though, at least until very recently.

WWU has a pretty math heavy curriculum (although there are now less rigouros math courses for Informatikstudenten) and you will learn a lot of abstract thinking, computational theory, optimizations, operating systems, databases (with theoretical foundations), computer graphics, computer vision, machine learning and you can get a glimpse into things like Medizinische Informatik in seminars.

Take a look at the course list, pick one that sound interesting and just go there for a day or two in a big hörsaal, no one will care about you.
Vorlesungen are boring but it will give you insights on the topics you will study there.

In most courses no one will care whether you go there or not, just do it at home and quicker.

You won‘t need all of that but it will give you a strong foundation for whatever the future holds.

If you want to work look for part time positions and study on the side. It‘s easy because the cost is only €600/year and includes public transport.

The degree will help you everywhere: immigration, getting past hr, getting jobs that go beyond web dev etc.

Xbox Series X. I'm a big Halo fan and bought it for the grand return of Halo.

The game wasn't great. The core gameplay was okay, but they seem to have abandoned any previous story they were telling and it feels like a weird side story with a throwaway antagonist. There is no more split screen, despite the promise it would be there. The network code lags horrifically and there are many odd UI choices and bugs. There aren't many maps, and the game hasn't gotten much better over the past year.

The system itself is okay, but doesn't support USB headsets like the PS5, and there aren't many other exclusive games as good as God of War, Returnal, or Horizon: Forbidden West.
