A similarly awful change was made to the color grading for several streaming releases of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. It feels like whoever did the color had just watched Breaking Bad and decided to imitate the "make any scenes in Mexico have an orange color grading" style but for the entire movie: https://imgur.io/a/Ub5MO5R
I have also met many intelligent and thoughtful investors. I am speaking only to the systemic effects of a kind of marketplace for information that overvalues hype, and undervalues criticism.

My speculative musing is that if people could take short positions in startups and not just coattail on as one of a group of investors, I wonder if we’d get a lot fewer breathless PR puff-pieces and a lot more cases for pessimism around certain types of hype cycle investments, backed by investors betting their own moeny against the hype.
Drew strikes me as very ideological, so it's refreshing to see a move this pragmatic. This has a better chance at bringing awareness to these issues, and resolving the crawler bullying than his usual antics.
Just finished reading the article. I already started disagreeing with the author while reading the first line. Mass exodus? What is he referring to? How does he differentiate mass exodus from being simply out of touch with users' needs? Mass exodus from social networks looks to me like a typical low-signal-high-noise opinionated clickbait, not fact-based journalism.

If there was a mass exodus, I think we should observe it from our own eyes. In my case, nobody around me is (finally) leaving WhatsApp and nobody is quitting Twitter. I don't have thousands of "friends" but I think I can assume that I would actually see these platforms bleed out if there was a mass exodus in progress, and more particularly, I'd see where they are going to.

I think the author's vision appears to be constructed on the premise that he perceives social networks as all-powerful businesses ("Today, it’s getting harder to believe that these networks will last forever."). I think he is sharing his own delusion about social networks with the public and trying to find an escape to the dissonance that ensued from the decline of their stock price. For more than 5 years now, Facebook has been offering nothing more than a worldwide directory and a stalking service to its users in exchange for their data, in my opinion. If we do the analogy with a milk company, he is basically surprised that cows are leaving the farm because they don't get anything valuable in return (the actual customers are the buyers of milk).

What surprises me though, is the fact that he seems to miss an elephant in the room. It seems to me that these companies are failing simply because they are engaged in a very expensive operation that doesn't generate a lot of revenue anymore. And the reason for this decrease in revenue cannot be simply explained with users exodus or attrition: Meta still owns Instagram, TikTok is doing very well and many social networks are reporting massive users intake. What is happening in my opinion is just pure simple and raw competition.

Finally, he also seems to neglect the potential behind Meta's investment in metaverse tech. I wouldn't dare betting on this: there are thousands of signals worldwide that show that metaverse technologies could disrupt society the same way Internet and touch screen smartphones disrupted our daily lives. Nobody knows whether Zuckerberg is at the "right place, right time" for the moment, he may as much as he may not be. But if he is...

Searching for "topic + lecture" on Youtube gives me the best hits. I rather hear a knowledgable person just talk about a topic, than some poorly animated storytelling about the same thing, done by a Youtuber with shallow knowledge
Pandas is one of those for which poetry alone doesn't do the job. So I have nix install pandas alongside poetry so that when poetry tries to install pandas, the non-python dependencies are all lined up.

It works well on all of my linux boxes. On my mac it takes forever because it wants to rebuild the linux universe. Given that the system architecture is a parameter, I think there should be a way to rewrite my flake (or update the nixpkgs numpy) to just rely on bsd tools in those cases, but I haven't found it yet.

That's what's holding me up from recommending it to my team. I'm happy to just use linux everywhere, but they aren't.
It did. I got a 3rd of what I was owed overall. It included a bit for lawyer expenses but the lawyer took extra from my share for "success" and obviously there's the advance I paid him in the first place. So I did get a bit of money but if you take my time into consideration... Not worth the expense.

I had another problematic customer a few years later and I just stopped it after the letter writing process. Not worth the aggravation. Luckily these are two very rare occasions. I pick and choose my customers since then.
I would say code generation and documenting is another one. The UX for this is a bit sucky but I've been pretty blown away with chat gpt's ability to generate, translate, and explain existing code.

I actually started trying to learn rust using chat gpt. I can just ask it to explain bits I don't understand ... and it does.

There's a lot of content generation in the legal and medical sphere that is probably also pretty much something where chat gpt could be helpful. Dangerous of course when it gets it wrong. But still, I could see this being a useful tool for researchers in all sorts of fields to quickly dig through a lot of information. Basically, chat gpt is trained on more stuff than a single human will be able to read.

I think this whole space is maybe bottlenecked on imagination. We have a lot of AI experts with not a whole lot of other expertise not seeing the forest for the trees. OpenAI employs a few geniuses but their product is basically a chat box and an API.

As I was remarking to a friend the other day: so they have chat gpt, pretty decent speech to text, and amazing text to speech .... so why can't I talk to chat gpt and listen to the answer? Such an obvious thing to do. Surely somebody thought of that. I mean inside OpenAI. I know there's a multitude of openai powered proofs of concept by third parties. But they don't seem to have the ambition to support a finished product so far.
> Should state or federal right-to-repair legislation be enacted, both Deere and the federation have the right to withdraw from the agreement with 15 days’ written notice.

Is this supposed to be a threat? Should legislation be enacted, they would be forced to comply with it. At that point any "voluntary" agreement seems pointless.

Are they trying to coerce individual states into not passing right to repair under the assumption that should one state pass a right to repair law, they would retaliate by discontinuing access to spare parts and related materials in other states?

Am I missing something?
I've been shocked by 230 V light fixtures twice. Both times I had a very similar experience as you described.

My guess is that it went only through the one hand, and the sensation in the arm is just a side effect.
> Staff engineers are not a monolith.

In my experience, all it takes is your organization to go through one "re-structure", you randomly get a new manager one day, and they have a different expectation on what staff engineer means/should do.

Next thing you know, you're being expected to stop architecting so much, spend more time mentoring interns who have never coded before and got hired randomly because ______.

I wouldn't roll the dice that your job description/definition/expectations stay the same team to team, manager to manager, org to org, etc.

I'd avoid "dancing" for the extra raise or whatever comes with being a staff engineer versus a regular senior engineer if you don't like dealing with people/having a lot expected out of you from a communication, presentation, human interaction standpoint.
I'd like to get off the ride, please.
Maybe they're using stolen IP, copyrighted code, violating licenses, etc?
He was attacked with a knife and was even stabbed, and I believe the response was non-fatal in all cases. We don't understand yet why the Terminator isn't killing everyone like in the first Terminator movie at this point until later on, but at the same time most people don't realize the Terminator isn't killing indiscriminately either due to how effortlessly its enemies are subdued. Sorta maybe like how Batman beating up people makes some forget that he doesn't shoot / kill enemies.

Just like non-standard analysis it's mostly a solution in search of a problem. There's no evidence this improves pedagogy. So, it's just an interesting exploration of a different way of doing math, which is very much what mathematicians do. But as with many things, the cost of transitioning have to justify the switch even if you had a blank slate it might be better (something I don't buy necessarily).
In practice, I've never validated that any of the checksums in go.sum are either correct or consistent.

I feel like the red clay already offers a sufficient contrast with the yellow ball to make those tournaments watchable. Grass court tournaments are the hardest for me as a TV watcher.

I did love the dark gray hardcourts they used for the Florence Open last year—made it extremely easy to see the ball.

Huh. So basically these guys got access to stuff that thousands of companies and governments who subscribe to Experian already have, but didn't pay for it. Color me outraged.
I guess it depends on your "after a while."

Like, there's a whole giant list of challenges. The advice I got was, don't just play a game, always go in with a goal to beat at least one of the challenges. Because opening those up reveals more challenges.

Also it's fun to watch other people play and see what they're up to - Never Nathaniel on YouTube is great.
I did a two day fast and it took a few weeks to get back to normal. Weirdly cutting out carbohydrates also seems to lead to constipation. The current view seems to be fiber = pooping well, but that has not really played out in my experience.
I thought that too, but then sr.ht needs to keep state which IP made how many requests already, and as the post mentions google makes these requests from many different places. So they would have to count requests from the specific user agent and by that point it is again special purpose work and load on sr.ht (whereas general rate limiting per IP might be a good idea anyway).

I watched numerous tourists do this in Cancun from our penthouse rental on vacation. In one case, a full-grown man was swept out approximately 100m and kept getting tugged and dashed by the waves as he fought them. A lifeguard kept whistling to him from shore and motioning to move perpendicular to the current to get back to shore, and he finally did.

We also saw lifeguards retrieve a drowned child. They worked on him for about fifteen minutes in front of the parents before stopping, and the ambulance took him away.

The beaches were marked with red flags as far as the eye could see, along with signs in English and Spanish clearly indicating that this meant swimming was prohibited, as it was unsafe. Many people paid no heed to the warnings.
I really enjoyed being able to have a "unified inbox" across multiple accounts.

It was also very smooth, and I didn't have to wait around for it doing who knows what, but this hasn't been an issue with KMail when I used it regularly some 12 years ago (without Exchange, though). Only Outlook ever felt noticeably slow.

Some other creature comforts were great, like integration with quick look (tap space on an attachment, and you can see it in a popup).

I could also have a unified calendar with my personal (Gmail) and work (Exchange online) accounts.

I only had to tell it "this is my exchange account, and this is my gmail account, now do your thing" – and it did, complete with OAuth2 and all.

I haven't tried KMail recently, but last I've seen (a few years ago) it didn't support Exchange online.

Thunderbid had some Exchange support, but it was a bit wonky (around 2019). I don't think the calendar was actually working. Maybe things have improved, I seem to remember there was a major upgrade recently.

Evolution, IIRC, had some kind of support via EWS, but I never "clicked" with it so never tried it seriously. Installing a gazillion gnome packages didn't help its case, either (I don't use gnome otherwise). According to the Arch Wiki [0] it should support mail + calendar through MS's Exchange ActiveSync (which is proprietary, but I don't have an issue with that if it works).

It's not really malfunctioning, in my opinion. It's more or less designed to violate individual privacy and offer as many people access as efficiently as possible.

Neither free market absolutism nor exceptionalism are the reason that it's designed this way. At least, not in the way that I think you mean it. Rather, it's because the current economy of the USA is an inflationary credit economy. It's a very un-free market; a great example is education. The government subsidizes loans which drive up the price, and put people in debt so that they are more desperate to take jobs.
Slack Should Not Replace Email: The Three-Tier Approach to Communication
Before moving from my childhood home I collected a fair amount of shiny stones and hide them in a coffin in the woods. And also made a treasure map and hid it in the house. I wonder if anyone has found it.
I know that BitTorrent has to allocate all the space before it downloads but would that be a good base to start with?
Probably not the full voltage, just a leak. 230V is quite an experience. 120V is a mere annoyance by comparison, even if you touch live terminals directly. Even 120V is more than vibrating, though.
This was a bill in the last (117th) congress, which is now over. Presumably it wasn't passed, since the only action under "Actions" is "Introduced in Senate" on 4/29/2021.

Is this a thing still? Is someone trying to reintroduce it in the new congress?

ps — FYI unpassed bills in the US Congress die at the end of each Congress and must be reintroduced and go through the entire passage process anew to become law in a subsequent congress.
It helps that this generation of consoles was so shitty and suffering from supply chain issues as well. Turned many people to PC gaming.
Show HN: Telegram Bot for Seth's Blog
I wanted to read Seth's blog(https://seths.blog) but didn't want to open the site and didn't want emails as well so I created a telegram bot which sends telegram message every time a new blog is published. This is still in development and I am working to make a bookmark system as well but this might still be useful for some of you.
Have you talked to upper management? If they value you and your work, they will probably allow you this (though likely with some cut in pay). My former manager actually went through the same issue. He was one of the earliest employees and as the company grew the CEO reached out to him to take the lead. He took it, but more out of wanting to help out. Fast forward 5 years since then and our company has grown from a 20-odd to 100+ employees, and found all the meetings draining. And since he is so awesome at his job prior to management, and our company is still going through some growing pains, people still count on him for some work.

He confided with me that he was beyond stressed and out of his element with management. He hates telling people what to do - he wants others to tell him what to do and he knows he's a rockstar at that. He finally said screw it and had a meeting with the heads, a heart-to-heart, and accepted to take a pay cut and basically self-demote himself. He did have a side hustle though, so the pay cut wasn't so bad for him.
Really scary to be honest…

Yeah I don't know when Staff SE became pitched as this lofty leadership position like this, but first half of my career in multiple companies this was basically just next step up in IC positions after Senior SE, not leadership. Principal then after that.

3. Some amount of people don’t want to feel like the dating process is an interview process, of attempting to insert a “bum” into a “seat”, of finding a “candidate” to fill a “role”. Of course that doesn’t stop it from still _being that_, it’s just that some people are fully comfortable with an upfront, obvious and formal selection process, but many people are not, and want the process to have some amount of an “organic” feel to it.

As with anything with dating, since you have no idea of what a new person’s criteria is, and they may not know either, and since there’s often a certain poker game involved in revealing those intentions, most people seem to opt for feeling it out as they go along. Honestly I think this is fine, it’s just that you have to give each other enough time and space for that, and that’s often a problem
could it be a CI service that builds the go-proxy server for testing and that build process does an initial clone of all sorts of go modules?
Doing risky things in an environment where you can get help vs. an environment where you're on your own. There are good lessons to learn by taking physical risks in more controlled environments. Like learning not to take dangerous and/or unnecessary risks when you're on your own because you know you might get yourself into a situation where you depend on help.

I've had two iron rules for the last 24 years:

- Never work with jerks (either boss, customers, coworkers...)
- Never be anyone's manager

It has worked out great! I've gotten to work on a steady stream of hard problems, working right at the middle of what I'm good at, what I love, and what people are willing to pay for. And for/with great people.

The guarantee you have in choosing to write code is that you get to write code!
I've accidentally touched live electricity (230V) several times, and from speaking to other people it's not a rare occurrence. I think you actually need to be pretty unlucky to die from an electric shock at home.
This map is great and all but it's mostly worthless without actually going into the grocery stores and checking how the fruits and vegetables look. I live in Brooklyn but it's pretty well known that good quality fresh produce is not easy to get in the city, especially not for cheap, if you compare with other cities. You have to join a CSA or make the trip to chinatown or something like that, which is just not an option for a lot of people.

Of course not.

If you A/B tested a core value, that implies you'd change your value system based on the outcome of the test, which suggests it wasn't such a core value to begin with.

The title sort of buries the lede. There's a solid point here about the abuse of easy-to-gather metrics being used to prop up tenuous arguments because the metrics that would refute that argument are hard-to-gather.
"circadian rhythms can be found in every cell" - seems vague.

The info-nibble doesn't detail some of the downsides of IF - like how difficult it can be to practice it in social life (married? good luck telling your spouse you're not eating with them for months/years/ever). I did the 18-6 and 20-4 cycles and it worked. However, I gained back all the weight when I stopped due to my partner pleading daily for months to "eat like a normal person" again.
Winter Storm Elliott was a good reminder that even in urban areas sometimes nature is going to make a solid effort to kill you. Nature deserves our respect, and everyone should do some basic preparation for the potential hazards where they live.

How many people have road flares in their car? Or blankets? Or some sort of emergency heat source? These things don't take up much space, are cheap to acquire, and easy to maintain. They can save your life or someone else's.

It's the YouTube equivalent of hitting up Google Scholar, rather than regular google for information. I also really recommend using Google Scholar for anything technical. You skip blog spam, and end up with better and more informative stuff.
I might be in your parents generation and yes, there were a lot of scams. The difference is, there were some useful things. We still use the web and email for example.
... because back in the 70s it was decided that disclosure (a/k/a "transparency") was all we'd ask of private companies (with exceptions, as in, some companies aren't even expected to disclose). Who do you think _actually owns_ the U.S. Congress anyway?
If I remember the same thing happened with Terminator Genisys

Watched a TV show last night which left the "Special Guest Star" to the start of the end credits, so you weren't spoiled at the start with his name.

The streaming platform stuck his picture on the picture for the episode rendering that protection moot.
Except that back then, the History Channel was a somewhat stuffy educational channel devoted largely to World War II documentaries.
There was recently a foot found in a pond. Lake was acidic and hot. Someone jumped in.

Not really, as even though it's a fictional world, it harkens to a time when the word was common. Outside of fiction, I had never heard the word used until recent years, when it's become en vogue to use the term in political "discourse", a use I do despise.
Based on the summary: The bottom line sounds interesting/valuable, to increase penalties and make it clear noneconomic impacts are important for things like privacy violations. The rest of the summary sounds like it's largely bull. Assessments and periodic reporting don't do much, anyone can spin their data the right way if they want to.
