I always found SOMA to be quite unpleasant. Huge tall glass office towers and some residential towers that make for a poor pedestrian experience, and an even higher degree of delinquency.

What makes SF charming is wooden Victorians, brick Beaux Arts apartment buildings, and hills. SOMA has none of that, but it has an extra dose of street crime.
> TikTok’s For You page has probably served you up a version of this kind of thing — the world first met Corn Kid

The world didn't meet 'Corn Kid', whatever that is, the Venn diagram circle that is TikTok users may have.

The intersection with the circle that is 'people who think this behaviour is bizarre and vile' is small, but those in it should take comfort in the fact that that second circle is very large, and the first probably a lot smaller, perhaps a lot more ephemeral, than they may think.
HN users in general are not going to support a militant attack motivated by concerns that are not backed by hard evidence. Free and open source software is the gold standard, but the fact that election machines used proprietary software is not nearly enough to justify the attack.
I'm just tired of being drive by therapised man. And then when I get annoyed enough to genuinely and truthfully pour my whole soul out just to prove how incredibly facile they were being I get downvoted. HN can be as cruel and unwelcoming as it can be illuminating and inspiring.
Actually not, as firstly you almost never use `var`s, and secondly if you do, most syntax highlighting rules will make them shine in bright color as something very exceptional.
> (...) all out of their ass?

This blend of mindless contrarianism gets tiresome. If this discussion was about hand-writing, you'd be accusing left-ti-right languages of being pulled out of the ass as well just because it's the standard shared by most.

People feel the need to plan work, estimate work effort, and allocate resources to get stuff done. Some people adopted these methods and they get value out of them. Not everyone has the luxury of picking up tickets created by magic and "it's done when it's done".

If you have a better way of doing this then be my guest and use it, but I have a nagging feeling you'd shit on that too just to feel smarter than everyone.
Thanks! I completely missed the link because I thought it was an ad.
Omniscient beings don't need data mining.
> I sort of took it for granted that people would spend the extra twenty bucks or so to make work from home a painless experience

I think you took for granted the mere availability of fiber as an option.

30Mbps DSL is the best option I have, other than Starlink. And I live in San Jose!
My opposition to waterfall is that building understanding through investigation and specifications is inferior as a way to get the finished product you need in the time you want, generally much inferior than building understanding through implementation.

But I've always seen that somewhat orthogonal to team-level processes.

You can "Agile™" or "Scrum™" the shit out of waterfall, after all. Create a ton of tickets for spec writing, etc.
Are you aware of the work being done in Europe for citizens assemblies? It seems quite interesting.

I definitely agree with you in that right now the biggest problem seems to be one of governance, our political systems can't make good decisions and this has lead to pretty much all the problems we see in all the major areas. If we can't make good decisions as a collective then we will see no solutions being implemented.

I think for most big problems there are actually many proposed solution that we could try out. That we could plan, implement, evaluate. But we don't because these are at their root political decisions.

But I think maybe we disagree in some points? I don't think the key is in individuals making choices but in small groups making them, to me the key is definitely in deliberation so I don't really think the answer lies in representative democracy in any way.

Anyway if you want to chat more about it just add me on discord Jero#0013!
Some laptops (notably Thinkpads) enforce a whitelist of PCI IDs for wireless cards - an "unapproved" card will display a warning in the firmware and won't be visible by the OS.

The excuse if I remember right is FCC compliance, but I call BS given that most other manufacturers successfully get away without it.
The OGL covers specific verbatim rules text, which is copyrighted even if the mechanics aren't. If you want to rewrite every rule in D&D, you can, but it's easier to copy text or reference specific identifiable terms in D&D with the OGL.

The OGL also defines what's protected identity, like the word "beholder" for the monster or specific book titles, and what's not, like the spell named "magic missile".

Regardless of trademark or fair use, if you agree to the OGL then you also agree to not use declared protected identity terms. For D&D, that generally means things related to their setting or branding.
Those photos make me want to hear the rest of the story even more :)
No one really thinks? Well I doubt you never opened a page and sick of it downloading megabytes of JS and breaking navigation because instead of links, the navigation is say React with mouse events hooked and loading parts of the page in the background with spinner graphics.

Everything can be done poorly or well. And because modern sites are often done so poorly, the power of interactivity is also seen poorly (it allows you to be worse than if you didn't have it).

This does push some people into contemplating restrictions or subsets of the web platform as a standard. Where you simply can't do the travesties we see on popular sites today.
I wrote an API for checking tickets for a possible winner. Error rate is better (lower) than six-sigma, that's the gold standard in business and so it is good enough for me.

Tell me what you are envisioning when it comes to space war?
If you’re distributing CSAM on your blob storage, and someone lets you know, you should probably remove it. This is independent of whether you distribute chunks or the whole file.

While PFOF may have some benefits, the process is not transparent and it creates a conflict of interest for the brokerage firm, since they are being paid by the market maker to send their clients’ orders to them. This can incentivize the firm to prioritize the interests of the market maker over the interests of their clients, which could result in the firm directing orders to market makers that may not offer the best price or execution quality for the client. This can ultimately lead to worse outcomes for investors, such as higher trading costs or reduced returns on their investments. We strongly support transparency during the trading process and prioritize our customers’ best interests above others. That's why we choose not to accept PFOF.
With stroke of his pen, Gov. Mike DeWine defines natural gas as green energy
We must also distinguish between recording and publicizing. At least in Norway, it is legal to take photos of strangers (as long as you don't harass or scare anyone), but you dare not free to share them publicly without consent. There are exceptions, of course, such as noteworthy events, crowds, and things that it is in the public's benefit to see, but otherwise, you must be careful

For example, street photography is kind of a grey area, I don't think it has ever been brought to court

I once heard Slavoj Zizek talk about Buddhism and he emphasized how it can kind of be psychopathic in a way - "I am emotionally detached from stabbing you in the throat, it is not anything more than atoms in my body carrying out their natural laws and stabbing you in the throat."
None of those things require client side code other than an HTTP POST.

Some things yes client side code makes sense, like an appointment finder, and that’s fine, but such things make up a tiny amount of my internet activity.

A very simple SoC with what appears to be a 6502 clone suspiciously missing anything to do with the Y register. Stack is also in a non standard place (the top half of the zero page), probably due to only having those 128 bytes of RAM total and not wanting to give up zero page access.
Sounds complicated. TikTok gets the advertising revenue? (I'm not familiar with how any potential profit sharing works.) Their lawyers / state sponsors probably have the bases covered.
It's complicated. See [1]

Whether a monetized video is "advertising" is a nice legal question.

"Big Industry" matters a lot, but personal transportation is also a large part of emissions. Especially for people that fly intercontinental more than once a decade.

It's wrong to assume that you can just convince people to give up their fossil fuel SUVs, but that means another mechanism has to be used to make them, not that aggregated personal choice doesn't have a huge impact.

This campaign promoted an inefficient mechanism, fully knowing it wouldn't work, but that doesn't mean that peoples lifestyles don't matter.

Arguing that only industry needs to change is also a cheap cop-out, belying the scale of the problem.
>There's no barriers for anyone to join the project and start changing it from the inside.

There are a bunch of barriers, you don't have to go far to see people asking if pull requests would be welcomed for a particular feature.

The gnome foundation may be largely volunteer run, but it is a business and people do get paid to work on it.

I don't think it gets a pass just for being open source, any more than the linux kernel or Wikipedia does.
My current dotfile management makes heavy, near complete, usage of home-manager. If I want to do a redeployment I can simply install home-manager on a fresh installation, checkout my repository, and perform `nixos-rebuild switch`.
Pre ECC I know one big bank which republished incoming data feeds onto multiple geographically distinct compute back in early 90's to address this or any such single point of failure ... a different level of confidence is appreciated when running aggregate 12 digit books
Yeah. There are basically companies trading on the stock market that have thought of pretty much every 1 sentence business plan ("buy a farm, the fed can't print farms"). Buying a total stock market fund basically gives you exposure to these ideas, and in general, a lot of the ideas do end up working out, so the collective basket increases in price. If one of the ideas is terrible but 10 of them are good, you still win. If you pick an individual idea and don't actively drive it to completion, then it could be one of the bad ones, and you lose everything.

(If you're going to be actively involved, the equation changes. You might say you're better at programming than anyone you know, and at talking to users, and at selling to large companies. Great! You should start a software company and it will no doubt do better than companies that are made up of people that are only average at those things. The market has a way of cutting down your ego, though.

As for farms, there are lots of people that inherit farms and were born and raised on the farm, but they ain't billionaires. You can hedge against inflation all you want, but all it takes is a swarm of locusts to erase all of your gains on one hot summer day. There is a lot of equipment you need to buy, and hard manual labor you need to do to make the farm more than a park in the middle of nowhere. Everyone knows that people need food, and food grows on farms, and they are there to take a % of your profits. We'll give you a loan on that combine for 8% interest. We'll sell you the best seeds money can buy, for a price. We'll pick up your harvest and drop it off at the market, for a % cut. We'll give you insurance against a freak tornado for a low monthly fee. We'll pay workers compensation when one of your employees decides to dig a hole with a stick of dynamite and blows their hands off. Before you know it, your inflation hedge was siphoned off by products and services. Just sayin', why be the farmer when you can loan someone the farm equipment for a monthly fee?)
Out of curiosity, which text-only browser do you use?

What are your thoughts on the fact that Twitter is still functioning fine after thousands of engineers have left?
"Yet despite all that they've suddenly come out with this draconian agreement which is worse than most of the rumours that had already caused a huge outrage."

Well, they explicitely state, that they are ready to change a bit, if the shitstorm is big enough.

"The document does note that if the company oversteps, they are aware that they “will receive community pushback and bad PR, and We’re more than open to being convinced that We made a wrong decision.”"

I hope this will get settled in court, though.

The 1.0 Licence seems to be unclear whether it is revokable, but since there was a FAQ section on WoTCs Website explicitely stating you can always ignore changes you don't like, then this is what I would settle for, if I would have invested in it.

It's a similar version of "build vs buy" discussions that happen at every level, from "do we even build an engineering team vs outsource to contractors" to "do we include leftpad or write our own method," and everything in between.

There are people out there with high amounts of resistance to using something someone else hasn't recommended or appeared to vet, at every level.

It's often about trying to manage downside risk vs trying to maximize upside. Orgs where people are more afraid of having someone they can blame than they are motivated to truly excel are going to lean towards things they can pay other people to decide for them.
If it were me, I’d consider getting residencies for yourself and your family in another country and then buying property there. Potential tax benefits, a second home and a place to escape if some crazy COVID-like stuff ever kicks off again!
The comparison is valid, and to think otherwise is delusional, and you will realize sooner or later that generative models are manipulated by a human being like you manipulate a camera or a paintbrush. What you actually want to say, though not explicitly, is that with AI art you can get good results with little effort compared to, say, using only CSP or Krita, and that somehow this would make the result less "art" (or even not art at all), but it has been a long time since "hard work" was a requirement for making art.

Also no, a xerox machine does not create transformative works ahah
Quite the opposite, this is the best feature of Git. Commit often, don't be afraid to experiment since you can always roll back easily even if it's literally just a single comma - and then when it's time to share that code with others, then reorganize history into a sequence of well-named commits with clean description of what each of them does.

We don't expect people to give important speeches without writing a draft first, nor do we insist on seeing all their drafts. Why is this any different?

Yeah, we would have invented a tech stack that is actually good. JavaScript+ HTML is just about the worst option imaginable if you were to design a cross platform gui application runner from the ground up.

GUIs, images, video, are all a mistake.

Computers should have nothing more than text terminals, as Ken & Ritchie intended.

That way the world would be a better place without TikTok, Instagram, YouTube.
I'd look at companies Berkshire Hathaway holds shares in. I think some bank and credit card stocks are decently priced right now, both those Berkshire holds, and others.

Personally I prefer to avoid index funds because I don't know how the general market will go, but I did know how some specific companies would go. But I felt much more clarity about that last year. I don't want my returns to hinge on Federal Reserve policy, so each position I hold right now, IMO, is something that will do well regardless of Fed decision-making.
Yes, I hope that most readers take away this sentiment as well.

I will say that some of Sasha's criticisms don't vibe well with my understanding, though. For example, we don't renounce pleasure because Buddha tells us we should, but because we directly observe that clinging to desire inherently feels bad. Our subconscious mind, when confronted with this info, naturally drops the object like a hot coal.

Telling newbies that traditional Buddhism is about giving up everything that makes you happy is a mischaracterization imo.

I also think his understanding of clinging is more narrow than what's described in the Abhidhamma. The interludes of TMI[1] give a pretty approachable introduction to this model of conscious experience.

Gold used for jewelry or industrials is a fraction of the overall yearly production of gold though. So it's mostly used as speculative instrument to store value (assuming this sentence is allowed with those two clauses together).
Yes. The modern web is an example of how many things are just worse now. It’s like Hollywood movies, power tools, and Applebee’s. Many things were just better in the 1990s.
It's not really a trademark issue - WotC has a trademark on D&D, particular styling of that, and other stuff like Beholders. They also hold lots of copyright on stuff that is explicitly not (and never was) under the OGL - the setting of the main D&D adventures and books, for example.

They probably can't copyright the idea of a playable race of Orcs or Elves, likely can copyright (and license) particular descriptions or art of those races, and maybe can copyright the specifics about how those races work. It isn't clear, because this all hasn't been tested in court. Spells are another example - is a spell like "Lightning Bolt" with particular effects something that can be protected by copyright? It didn't use to matter much - anyone could just add the OGL to their publication and be fine - but it might start mattering a bunch more.
Please read the article, it says the opposite of what you think it says.

It was inevitable, what people generally want is to be able to interact with another node on the network in a visual way. The fact that browsers started as simple HTML is only due to technology limitations.

If the web was being made form scratch today, it would probably start with a repurposed game engine.
What I'm saying and what you're saying are not the same thing.

Show HN: live-tsc – a fast tsc without type checking for development server
live-tsc is a lightweight typescript transpiler. It recursively use esbuild to trim off the types (without type checking).

It can improve build time on slow machine. You can still get type-error message from IDE so it should speed up iteration cycle without compromise.

That's very interesting. I wasn't aware of that. I guess in the crypto winter there's very little need for new tether so they found another way to make money. Risks are obvious, that the borrower defaults and collateral drops so they won't be able to recover full amount of tether. Risks and rewards in the form of the cost of the loan.

They announced they are curbing this activity so maybe it brought them more loss than gain?

They still probably didn't leak mucj tether this way. But I now see that it's not that 66 bln of dollars changed hands, but most of it in crypto valued at bull market prices. So if people wanted to cash out into dollars they would probably collapse. But why would people want to cash out into dollars en masse and pay tax on that?

And if they want to cash out into crypto there's no problem becuse the crypto is cheap now so tether doesn't need to give away much for each USDT they redeem.
I hate to say it, but it's just geoblocking. (Mind cloudflare hates me most of the time across all regions.) I've experienced this (geoblocking) sort of behaviour, for what must be close to 17 years.

I don't think a day goes by without I run into it ... if I cared enough I might use that proxy ... nah f'em who cares, lets move onwards.

Why would introduction of cattle to similar prairie not have the same effect rather than a much smaller effect as quoted in the article. I have doubt there.

A point I try to make is that responsible cattle production on land left in a wild state is a good thing and not at all something people should be morally or environmentally opposed to. There must be a way to do it to optimize for caring for the land.

Then again, bison are also delicious.
