They also don't offer really any value.

Compare this to a simple foldable electric scooter. It allows you get to places much faster, and has similar attributes in terms of things you do outside of commuting, is way cheaper and more reliable.

For the hyper-optimization of walking in crowded places at a slightly elevated pace, you basically have to convince someone that spending x amount of money instead of leaving x minutes earlier is worth it, and that x has to be in the range of play money for an average person, because the latter is free.

In general, if you are pushing a product that isn't relying on lifestyle marketing, or isn't radical new technology, the product needs to be an optimization on something existing, and when considering what it optimizes, you need to look at an entire picture, not just the particular item.
No, I don't. I don't say people shouldn't own a car. I say people shouldn't need to. Please explain how that's authoritarian.

My apologies if you took it this way. If you aren't making prescriptions for other people's lives, then you have nothing to fear or be offended about. Only you know the contents of your own mind.

No, the base case is no cars...

Who is really the authoritarian?

Isn't that relative to what the status quo is right now? To answer that question, ask: Who is asking that people be convinced, and volunteer to change?

If you live somewhere, where there are no cars, then your base case doesn't imply having others change. If you live somewhere, where there are already cars, then your base case implies you want people to change.
Last time I tried to sign up for Twitter it demanded I verify my account with text messages. Actually, virtually all services do this now when creating an account. The worst (Microsoft for example) let you sign up and use the account for a bit (possibly purchasing some items tied to the account) and then extort the phone number out of you later to maintain access.

It is sort of amusing that these companies hitched their wagon to the now scam laden telephone network to track users and ended up getting scammed themselves.
Keep in mind that 128 GB barely works on AM5 (basically, EXPO/XMP doesn't, only regular JEDEC speeds, i.e. 4800 MT/s) [1] 2 sticks of RAM up to 64 GB is the fully functional maximum.

Walmart hit diminishing returns on scale efficiencies a long time before 2012-- their revenue has basically been tracking inflation for the last decade.
My favourite was getting charged for an sms my iPhone sent which was a phone home to an Apple headquarters short code for iMessage. iOS hides these from the user. Most providers don’t charge for this, but some do.

Really sucks when you carefully load 10 EUR of credit to buy a 10 EUR prepaid plan for the month and see 0,05 deducted despite being incredibly careful to not do anything that would incur a charge before buying the plan.

> And when those kids grow up to be adults and realize that the advice they were given was all bullshit

You think the advice of going to college is "all bullshit"? It's still great advice for many people, is it not? I think the point is that it's certainly not for everyone, and because colleges aren't holding up their end up the bargain there are plenty of other ways to earn a living. Some people aren't cut out for the trades, just like some people aren't cut out for many paths available from college.

The harsh truth is just because you can get a degree in something doesn't mean you'll be any good at it, and ultimately if you're not any good at something why would you expect people to pay you money to do something poorly? So the real question is: at what point should young adults be responsible for recognizing their aptitude and interests enough to make their own career decisions without blaming others? 18? 21? 25? Never?
Great, thanks for the insight!

If they can get enough evidence to make it through the pleading stage of a lawsuit, then they can ask exactly that during discovery.
Hopefully someone else can find more context in the paper on left-to-right vs right-to-left sequencing (or animal-facing-direction or towards-the-head(?)-of-the-animal or ? sequencing).

The most relevant quote in the paper I could find is

>Figure 4 presents the position of <Y> in sequences, by analytical taxa. To determine the position of <Y>, we assumed that sequences were oriented in the same way as their associated animal depictions, i.e. with the animal the right way up.

But I don't see how to get a directionality from that quote.
Fun fact: +1 is not a country, but all of North America. For a long time it was entirely possible to dial a perfectly ordinary looking +1 258 xxxxxxx number and get charged up the wazoo because (258) is Antigua and Barbuda, not New Jersey.

I wonder how they come up with these valuations for deep learning companies? Some other company always seems to be able to pretty much replicate the performance a few weeks or months later, what is the moat here?
With regard to strings, they give a good example in Lua, but oh boy wait until this person hears about Perl (:

There's a whole section in the manual [1] for string quoting operators (qq, qw, qx, ...)

In general, I feel like Perl is one of those languages that has a high amount of these "quality of life" syntactic features, and helps make it enjoyable to write, once you get over the learning curve.

People not wanting to work is not the main reason we’re seeing more people find housing unaffordable. It’s the extreme rise in price of housing relative to income.

I make dramatically more than my parents did when they were buying their first house around my age, but as a fraction of my income and savings, housing costs vastly more.

(It’s also not clear that the skilled trades jobs Gen Z apparently doesn’t want actually pay more than the alternatives. See other comments on this post.)
If GitHub can suspend accounts because of "links on wiki led to sites that contained pictures that didn't align with github's values"[0] (as we have seen with AUTOMATIC1111 [1]), Source Hut can reject service to anyone they want. It's their business and their decision.

At least the owner (Drew) is direct and honest about it.

We, as consumers have the right to not make business with companies which we don't like, too. I have left GitHub over Copilot issue for example.

If you don't agree with views or ToS of Source Hut, don't use it. It's that simple.

Citation needed that children are being exposed to sex younger than ever.

Citation needed that internet porn is more harmful than a magazine or VHS.

I think it’s counterproductive to try to shield young people from everything instead of teach. The same people encouraging things like this are almost a complete overlap with those pushing to eliminate sex ed.

The difference in lifestyle between those two incomes is pretty decent.
Be careful what you wish for, there are significant non-salary benefits (stock ESPP and RSUs, healthcare subsidy, etc.) that matter a lot. These employers would just restructure compensation to effectively recreate low-cost non-competes.

Spoken like a true politician! Not only are the sanctions illegal by many international laws (and frankly, even domestic law considering how freedom of speech has been interpreted by the Supreme Court, to say the least), they fail to prevent the activity that supposedly justifies them. Meanwhile, the general population cannot get medicine and basic goods needed to have a decent life. A true crime against humanity. Especially absurd in the case of Iran, which entered a formal deal with the US in exchange for sanctions relief, only to have a subsequent administration scrap it because it didn't like it, all the while Iran holding up its end of the bargain.
This is probably a sign that other things outside of NDAs would ultimately be problematic there.
> I've created this distribution channel as an experiment and for my own need - I use it to download and install ClickHouse without the need of package manager. So I don't need to run "apt update" to install ClickHouse. It works if the package manager is broken, and it works well on very old servers, and rare Linux distributions.

Makes perfect sense! Thanks for the explanation :D

Why are you pressing buttons in the “cockpit” while you’re supposed to be driving? 


The “cockpit” button-obsession on HN is really cute sometimes. As if most drivers with button-filled “cockpits” actually feel around for them while still looking at the road.

Everything timing critical for driving is either fully automated or on the wheel in a Tesla, by the way.

"It's a more expensive version of Transferwise that's only useful for criminals, but isn't useful for them because their transaction history is public and forever" should be good enough.

That and "it doesn't get any more useful as you add nodes, but you still have to add them or people can hack it".
There are repos such as https://github.com/syaning/awesome-frontend, https://github.com/shahedbd/awesome-project-management, etc. that are just curated lists of links. I can't imagine github enjoying someone creating a awesome-naked-people list, so they likely need to have those broad rules.

I assume Garden Leave would remain legal even if noncompetes were struck down nationally. You can pay people not to compete with you, without a noncompete; that's what a job offer is.
I am actually fascinated with these, enough to seriously consider a deposit. But I am very concerned about their ability to tackle an "AI-drivetrain" when they can't even get counting numbers right. To wit, from their Quick Start page:

>2. How To Walk
>A quick lesson on how to start walking in Moonwalkers.

Are you replying to the right comment? I made no such claim.
Yeah, sure, but I was just letting other consumers know Drew's position, so they could make their decision about whether to use it or not. I didn't even pass judgment on it in my comment. I made it a simple statement of fact.

For those wondering how this relates to hairstylists...

People are not a customer of "Awesome Hair Inc". They are a customer of Laura, whom happens to work for said company. Because Laura knows exactly how to do my hair properly.

So when Laura switches company or becomes an independent, her customers follow her. Awesome Hair Inc just lost half their regular customers. A source of perpetual drama. Now you know why hairstylists are so excellent at bonding with people. It's how you create forever customers.

An interesting variation of this dynamic is found at the very publication of the article: NYT. Some of their journalists have become very savvy on social media, building up an enormous personal following. A following that is loyal to the person, not specifically to NYT. Yet it was NYT that paid for it, as these journalists tweet on the job, as part of their job. At the very least, NYT could hope that this sends a lot of clicks towards their articles, but even that is questionable as increasingly these journalists tweet screenshots of key sections, knowing that nobody on social media actually reads anything.

An awkward marriage, to say the least.
Exactly my thought.

I wish they were popping up near me!
Chatgpt is the first mover but I doubt it will be around for long. Competition is starting and history has shown that other players eventually find a profitable business model and leave the first mover behind.

Chatgpt is good but as soon as there's something better people will shift over very quickly.

One thing it lacks is reliability. You can't trust its answers all the time. I suspect the next goal is to create reliable expert systems that people can trust. I see a future where companies will buy access to a reliable expert ai that will help their workers do their job.

Eventually there will be so many expert systems that they can be tied together to create what seems like super ai. It won't be a thinking machine but it won't matter. It will be so realistic that people will believe it's a sentient machine. I bet it will happen in less than 30 yrs.

Imagine a company like AWS renting their AI system to do a specific function. It's going to be interesting.
Only some formats which I guess are to be used with older browsers contain both video and audio. In general, these days video and audio are delivered through separate streams on YouTube.

Where do you find this? I've spent 10 minutes on our Twilio account and couldn't find the toggle.
The PV setup is too small/weak to support an very cheap and basic off grid WISP setup, even a very basic one, one small panel of that size won't handle the mid winter cumulative kWh in one month from even two small PTP 5 GHz band 5W load radios and one 5W Mikrotik router (15W 24x7 for a month).

Whatever it is has to be very low power or spend a lot of time in sleep mode.
Real walkers don't do it for the money.
None of that has anything to do with the actual validity of the complaint. If you can't see you're just spraying around your own prejudices (probably hypocritically) then I can't help you.
> premium rate number costs 10 cents

wut, the absolutely most ordinary (in the realm of single telecom) text costs me ~6.5 cents
Why have I been seeing this egregiously wrong idea everywhere lately? Delivering power in the form of microwaves to the Earth is not going to cause any warming. Even if we were to purposefully beam it straight into the ocean and heat the water we just aren't capable of delivering enough wattage to make a serious difference. The reason global warming is a concern is because of the greenhouse effect of CO2 trapping the Suns heat which is an energy input that we can't even come close to approximating.
Article title is "Amazon expands layoffs from 10,000 to 18,000 jobs as stock price keeps falling". That's not the same as "blaming the stock price". The subhead is "CEO blames 'uncertain economy' and Amazon's rapid hiring", which is more reasonable.

It would be odd to blame the layoffs on stock price, since the stock price doesn't affect operations. A CEO might say it anyway, to deflect blame from themselves, but that's not what the article says. Blaming the economy as a whole, however, is at least not actively wrong.

14 days of lunar night would get quite cold. Maybe you could use the bases' water tanks as thermal batteries.
There would be no reason for cartels to establish parallel cellular networks in Salt Lake City of all places.. and these devices don't sound remotely like what the cartels were doing - you need backhaul to have a cell site - these are remote mesh wifi devices. All of the cartel ones are 'parasitic' where they use the actual cell site's hardware to provide a standalone antenna.
Usually the copyright on a data set is held by the person who accumulated the data, but mere compilation is not enough to bestow copyright. The arrangement and selection itself needs to be sufficiently creative or original.

Putting all your photos in a folder does create a dataset, but doesn't meet the threshold of creative input for that dataset to be copyrightable as a compilation.

Now, you do hold the copyright on all of your photos. This means that you can restrict their transmission to others. You can even transmit them to someone as part of a contract that they not engage in a particular activity, like training an AI.

But if they proceed to train an AI using them, they've committed a breach of contract, not copyright. And I'll tell you, I'm not a lawyer myself, but instead a SME who works with a lawyer, and in order to receive relief for breach of contract, a judge is going to look to said contract in order to calculate damages. If you have a contract that says that something is a breach, but no language that assists a judge in calculating damages, you shouldn't assume you're going to get any relief in excess of, perhaps, an injunction.

And I'm afraid my knowledge is very US-specific.
I was just mulling over the other day that this sort of thing at smaller scale would be a neat idea for guerilla file sharing to work around copyright infringement bots on torrent networks.

Hope on a wifi access point downtown, pull some movies down while you're waiting for your train.
> it doesn't mean that reality will agree with you, it means you have become a better politician

This is true, and we're reliant on the reviewers being in touch with reality, which I gather is not always the case, though in my (limited) experience it has been. Writing proposals does feel different than writing papers and I do worry about getting too divorced from reality. I endeavor to stick to nonfiction!

The slowing of the feedback loop is only necessary if you wish to fund your work from sources that require it. Self funding through other means would have advantages.
I'd add some more flags/options for downloading specific videos or updating the library of downloaded content. I don't really want to download all the videos from one specific channel- instead I want to download the last 10 videos, for example.

How about this: if you care about my demographic of people, I'm happy to be appeased to in the form of commitments to have offline-only functionality for the hardware I'm paying for. But if you advertise the 1 millionth tech product and expect me to not assume it is like the 999,999 previous ones out of good faith alone, sorry, I'm fresh out of miniature violins.

I don't really want to be this flippant, but do you know how burned I am by this at this point? I've started returning things based on not being able to use them without an account. Just scroll through Google Home integrations some time and take a look at the vast mountains of internet of shit devices. Sometimes, it's proudly advertised that it needs a smartphone. Other times, you'd be hard pressed to know it even supports it, less requires it. Tooth brushes, bathroom scales, literally anything a Bluetooth radio will fit in.
