I do not live in Switzerland anymore, so I cannot do a survey, but I can tell you helicopters are used an absurd amount in Switzerland, and everyone seems fine with it. For instance I personally saw, with my own eyes, helicopters used to:

- install an AC unit on the roof of a university building

- move building material from one side of campus to the other side

- extract dead trees from a small forest with an extensive network of roads and paths

- plant trees in the middle of campus. Which lead to this fantastic exchange with my then 2 yo: "look papa, a flying tree!" "What do you mean?" "There!" "Oh, you are right. A flying tree. Do you want a banana?"

My pet theory is that given the high wages in Switzerland, it quickly becomes cheaper to rent a chopper for two hours then to get a crane built, operated and unbuilt.
I think they followed a bell curve. They were all legitimate science - I don't pretend that this was a world leading lab, but it was a decent one and we mostly published in the field's main few journals. I don't believe the volume had any negative impact on the quality, if anything it made it better because metrics being what they are we had good grant money coming in and got good people and equipment.

And as the sibling pointed out, all of us students had great opportunities to write and submit papers and conferences. I had peers in grad school with very conservative supervisors that didn't want to publish very much (I can think of one prof in particular who was undoubtedly a very good researcher and infrequenty published very good papers). This can be a disservice to students who don't get the same experience, and it's an argument for why publication count is a good metric (even though it's obviously flawed)
Yeah but it's way more subtle than that. Nobody's going "oh, the Heat play at the FTX Arena? I gotta get in on that...". A whole host of things - sports sponsorship, advertising, celebrity endorsement, backing by traditional finance and media - all contributed to making crypto seem to the layperson like just a new type of asset like any other. They maybe didn't fully grok it, but they also don't grok exactly how ETFs, Index Funds or Mutual Funds work either and a few of these exchanges played along and allowed people to pretend that they were buying a Real Thing.
But imagine Getty Images sells the stolen photo 10,000 times. They had no idea it was illegally stolen and fraudulently passed off as the fraudster's own work. If they get sued for infringement, they can just sue the actual fraudster for damages.

Same will be for GitHub: if people really didn't have the legal authority to bind someone else's code to GitHub's TOS, then GitHub can go after the $x million of users that have uploaded code they shouldn't have.
> Because that's really what you're asking here - are you going to take a 50% paycut and stop using your ICE vehicle forever?

Only if everyone else does. I.e. a fossil fuel tax so high that it renders helicoptering snow for recreational activities untenable.
I think MSFT will regret not using some kind of bloom filter to avoid producing existing code verbatim. If they could show that it will never reproduce a long sequence (unless that sequence appears in more than x independent repos) they would have a much stronger argument of being transformative.
ChatGPT is just a tool, like a calculator. Calculators are banned in certain circumstances and required in others. At first they were probably seen as cheating, but then the system realized they could be used to enhance what kids learn. Why take away a tool that could be used everywhere in life? That's not how progress should work. The system should evolve to embrace such tools, but the obvious problem is that it just won't happen quickly enough, and in the short term they will be used for illegitimate purposes, and so we just ban.
How are you a "creator" (in an attribution-worthy sense) if you are producing an unoriginal implementation of an old algorithm that thousands of coders have produced before you?

Most coding is not innovative, and that is the kind of code that these tools are producing and derived from in most cases.
>Rather than limiting yourself to "career" content, maybe try enriching yourself with some classic literature and non-fiction?

I'd go a step further and recommend some music, or local terrestrial radio. I'm guessing that during 16 hours of driving there will be some interesting scenery or places to stop along the way. It's a great opportunity to get away from work for a while or cogitate on stuff you've already taken in before the trip.
What if they offered a 'lifetime' rate which is the NPV of $20 over 20 years, so like $1000 or something? You pay once and get it forever.

Of course, only as long as they can operate the service forever...
The range is indeed poor, and it depends a lot on your house/flat. Would definitely recommend using another machine with something like this.

In terms of throughput, right next to an AP, I just got 65Mb/s.
My shirts lasted long so far, but indeed have to be careful how I wash/hang/dry them, etc. compared to non-wool stuff.
I run a Poweredge T20 with a Xeon E3-1275Lv3. I snagged a 32GB kit of ECC ram from somebody's trashcan Mac Pro on eBay for a song and have a couple SSDs for OS and VMs. I use USB WD MyBook drives for storage and backups.

Right now the server, switch, drives etc is pulling 31 watts from the wall and it's so quiet you can't tell it's on. I'm sure it would keep running for hours off the cheap UPS I have it all on.

I had a second one as a desktop but the motherboard died last year. I'm not sure what I'll replace it with when the time comes. Probably one of those one liter PCs since I don't need internal 3.5" bays.
Hey y'all, long time reader first time writer. The op is absolutely right that there's a large bill coming due. A lot of the conversation about our infrastructure has been in reference to the New deal projects and Eisenhower projects around the country. However, in addition to our increasingly fragile housing stock the largest transfer of wealth in history is set to happen at the same time these houses will change hands. A poster below commented that a few years of experience won't be enough to be pulling a multiple six figure income when that occurs but I disagree. In most states in the country 5 years is the amount of time necessary to enter a union and gain a master's license. From there you would have the licensure and expertise to start your own company, consult or find a high paying job in the trades. I also think that roboticization is not something that will occur until late in our lifetimes and likely only for new construction projects. I recently started a company in DC called The DC Contractor. I'm looking to expand this year and if there's anyone in the area who would be interested in connecting you can find me online, feel free to send me a message. I believe anyone that would truly find more satisfaction in the trades couldn't pick a better time to start learning the skills even if they aren't hard skills. i.e. learning how to operate a business,project management, financials, DOB regulations, gov regulations for federal projects etc... Could all be immensely valuable and there's a lot of room for creativity in the space. Fwiw, that's my two cents. Happy New Year.

Edit: seemed worth noting that my starting pay for any employee is around ~$25 an hour. Granted I live in a large metropolitan area but when I started doing this work 20 years ago $11 to $12 an hour was pretty standard entry level pay. That number is just to hire anyone that will show up consistently because the market has gotten so crazy in the last couple of years. I would pay considerably more for someone with the necessary skills to let me take a more hands off approach.
Thanks for posting that! I have also experimented with Babashka, but I am fond of Swift. It may be my favorite non-Lisp language.
Nah, he wouldn't be banned. He's too weird and not political enough.

He'd be like a cross between a new age guru, Jordan Peterson, and one of those amateur porn people that use YouTube to steer people to their OnlyFans. He would also probably have an OnlyFans, a Tumblr, a Patreon for his cult, a Podcast, and Twitter of course. Big time influencer vibes.

We missed all these lulz by only a century.

It would seem likely that the answer to that is yes, and that none got the prize and it wasn’t worth it.
My dad had a balanced heat recovery ventilation installed few years ago. I think it might be undersized a bit as it’s somewhat loud when running at 100%. He doesn’t like the noise so he runs it at 40% or so.

After getting meter I found it’s def not enough, especially in rooms with more people doing some activity. He still doesn’t believe my meter is accurate tho.
Tell HN: Google Pixel phones don't support VoLTE and 5G in most countries
I've just been bitten by this, but it looks like Google blocks VoLTE and 5G in 'unsupported' countries [1][2][3], i.e. countries where Google doesn't 'officially' sell Pixels (whatever that means). So even though your operator and SIM support VoLTE, it might be artificially blocked by Google. This seems to be a know issue for a while now and can be resolved by rooting and enabling VoLTE/5G through modem configs, carrier settings, etc. [4][5]

I know it's futile, but is there any way to get Google to address this?

> Concepts are offered at least three times in different forms. This ensures that learners can practice enough with concepts and are exposed to different forms to learn their essence.

It will be interesting to see if this gradualism via redundancy* will prove effective; it is at least a brave attempt at a novel introduction to the level of formality which characterises programming languages.

* taking the same approach to syntaxes (change them early and often) that Hedy Lamarr took to spouses?
Dynamically generated HTML as a response of an HTTP server! Preposterous! And what else? Maybe a scripting language so the user can interact with the client without having to contact the server? Insane!
> But I can't imagine there are a lot of Swiss people who think that flying in snow is justified in any way.

I just got back from skiing in Vail Colorado. People in Europe may object to flying snow to the mountain, but they certainly do not object to flying themselves to the snow.

In the shared gondola and lift rides, people speaking English within their groups were the minority. I am not complaining, it was a wonderful time and I really enjoyed meeting and talking to people from all over the place!

FYI - the storm systems that are flooding California are producing an epic winter for the ski resorts in the western USA. It's been at least 20 years since I've seen anything this nice! It's really not a surprise that people are coming from around the world to experience it.
It's a fair point, but there is value in having those URLs constructed by the server rather than the client. The server can shift the path and params to make changes without the client having to make updates.
My question is, did you learn the truth from ChatGPT? It seems like it will always give plausible sounding answer, that may or may not be correct. For example I asked it today to enumerate the rights given to all christians as part of the priesthood of believers according to Luther. It enumerate a couple of plausible sounding rights. Unfortunately none of them were correct.
I don't see any remote positions listed on the site. What's the company remote policy?
The whole point of a party is that it's a set of people who have already set aside most of their differences in pursuit of a common set of goals. You resolve general issues among yourselves, then present a more-or-less unified front in public. If you can't do that, you can't do any of the genuinely hard negotiations to achieve your own priorities.

If the majority of the party is willing to tolerate this guy, then anybody going against him breaks the party trust that they need to get anything done. It bodes badly for the rest of the session.

For a lot of the dissenters, that's OK. This has long been the anti-government party, and it's not surprising that a fraction of it are happy to have no sitting legislature at all. It's actually a bit surprising this hasn't happened before.

So this isn't really about "fast convergence". This is about not even getting to the "convergence" step. (Oh, and you'd be surprised at how much complexity and delay there is in the Chinese Communist Party. It does have an absolute leader at the top, but unlike North Korea, it is a functioning government with a lot of internal competition at all of the lower levels.)
In many fields there is an informal distinction based on author position. The first author(s) likely did most of the work and/or wrote the paper. The last author(s), usually called senior authors, are the ones who organized, supervised, etc.
Hi André.

First of all, thanks. I used hosted my own email 20 years ago, and when I saw how easy it was with mailcow, I decided to try again.

Looking forward to the mailcow successor. Is there anything up already?

Cheers.
> But they’re not copying whole cloth the way copilot is.

Stack Overflow content is CC-BY-SA 4.0 yet I can bet most corporate codebases include tons of code snippets without a link or citation to the original answer
We allow humans to do what copilot does because we take into account that the human brain is very limited in this regard. If we could scan all of GitHub in under a week and recall perfectly what we saw we would already have different laws. Now that machines are able to somewhat learn like humans but 1,000,000 faster we need new laws.

That's why I don't believe "but that's like humans doing X" is a strong argument.
Could one of the factors for the Amish be teamwork? Tradesmen are often competing with their peers and working very fast, sometimes too fast and at risk of injury. All of the documentaries I have seen watching the Amish work, they work as a team following the mantra slow and steady wins the race. They work hard, but as a group.
Babashka is a great success story for open source. The author has written so many useful and interesting utilities that he is now supported by contributions.

Other than the pizza and beer, I challenge you to find a ski resort in Colorado/Utah much cheaper than the prices you listed. It's crazy here in the US.

I'll be spending a week skiing in Austria next week and altogether it's cheaper than a week of skiing in Colorado.
What you're asking for is a microkernel os, or at least a generic kernel shim to interface a user space driver.

Example of microkernel: QNX.

Example of userspace driver: fuse.

I'm not familiar with the architecture of OpenBSD, does it run it's drivers in userspace?
They are available in most fonts with reasonable-or-better Unicode coverage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_subscripts_and_supersc...). 1, 2 and 3 are available in ISO-8859-1 so can sometimes be used in 8-bit-only text, but I'd use them with care in that context.

To type them easily you'll usually need composition (sometimes called chording) support. Some Linux (and other Unix) distributions still have this built in by default, though last time I used Linux for much desktop use it seemed to be fading from common availability, otherwise you'll have to hunt for another method. On Windows I use http://wincompose.info/ (here [atlgr][^][1] produces “¹”, for instance, in the default settings) which is useful for a number of other things (I first started using it for accented characters like á on a UK keyboard). If you have a keyboard with programmable function keys then you could use its customisation tool to map some of them to produce the super-script (or sub-script, or other) characters you commonly want.

For less convenient typing, use your OS's Character Map or similar tool.

On Android, unless you have a different keyboard in use which doesn't support this of course, long press on the number on the touch keyboard gives superscripts as an option.

The "Expanded Parameters blocks" is kind of supported in Kotlin. You can write a function like this:

/**
* @param arg the string to garble
*/
fun doThing(@NotEmpty arg: String = "default)

In this example, "arg" is mandatory, or else it would have the type "String?", making it nullable. It obviously has a default value. It has an annotation that performs some validation, though admittedly that is a library and not a language feature. And it has its own documentation. I find this more concise than the Powershell example.
It just depends on your use case. If you want to appreciate music while sitting at your desk, no. But if you need to listen to a podcast or music while trail running, biking, at the gym, or other situations where situational awareness is important, then the degrade in audio quality is worth the trade off.

In my mind I don't want MS to rehash my code and sell it using "OpenAI" as some laundry machine.

It really depends on what you’re trying to benchmark here.

If you’re benchmarking the two compilers for lines of code, you’ve done a really good job and people shouldn’t complain about the Rust code length.

> then people would complain that the Rust code was artificially shorter.

If you’re trying to benchmark Rust development vs C++ development, then people cannot complain that the Rust code is “idiomatically shorter”.

Arguably right now your benchmark has the Rust code “artificially longer”. Which is fine if that is what you’re intentionally trying to measure.
Background removal and blur in a real-time video are in high demand in 2023. Their implementation can be comparable with the snowball effect. This avalanche will eventually sweep all platforms for video meetings. This fact is confirmed by the experience of market leaders that have already implemented such tools.

It’s not for the wealthy, it’s for the working class. Of course don’t compensate asset price destruction due to climate change except for those who have limited means.

In my coal plant example, workers are typically close to retirement and have limited means. They aren’t financially independent, so they need something to bridge the gap between this painful transition and death. I apologize that wasn’t clear in my original comment.

>Because he didn't argue those positions because they were sensible responses to COVID, he argued those positions because he was reactionary.

You're impugning intent on this man, because you don't like his politics. You don't even know what his reasons were, do you.

>Coincidentally, at the time, they were the best methods we had to control against covid.

No. Those were not the best methods. It was never a choice of "Lockdows or no-lockdowns", even back then. We had 100 years of experience fighting respiratory pandemics, that we threw out and decided to follow the Chinese 'zero-covid' policy (which was an abject failure for us, and them). The traditional approach was a targeted policy. Protect (or even lockdown) high-risk populations, and let low-risk population live their lives commensurate to their risk tolerance. Sweden, one of the few western nations, to adopt this, was HEAVILY criticized for this, for no good reason. The idea that we would lockdown the entire population (healthy and/or low-risk) was something we made up on the spot. It wasn't based on any science.
The problem is that calculators are correct 100% of the time, ChatGPT is not. What makes it more difficult is that it's often really hard to tell when ChatGPT is correct or not.
