This. Maybe it's from about 1870. Maybe it's Easter, because of the clothes but I only know its before 1940. Maybe it's in august, who knows what day or year. But i scanned it last Tuesday and I played with the image file yesterday. So it now has at least two and probably three or more date-time values, none of which relate to what it is actually "about" in metadata space.

Trying to get exif to handle this kind of random approximation to date is really hard. The systems just don't agree "how". Dublin core has several approaches. They map into EXIF. Kinda.

Google, simply never rescan. If you autoload the image as yesterday, that's its date forever. Change by hand in photos is hard. Microsoft does appear to relearn. Apple? Not sure.
Making rich people poorer doesn’t do anything to help people who are poor.

We could instead work on ways to make poor people richer, which would actually make their lives better instead of making someone else life worse, and would also reduce the wealth gap. Somehow none of the “tax the rich” crowd seem interested in that.
I've visited Cuba and lived in Brazil. The desperation you see in Brazil for much of the population isn't there in Cuba. The people are very poor but they have access to food regardless of their income levels. Cubans are some of the most highly educated people in the world. It's a police state and there are awful things about the corruption. And things are much worse in many other Latin American countries that are pro-US. I would say the impacts of poverty are worse in the US even if you withdraw those states. In absolute terms Americans are richer but in terms of healthcare and general well being, what I saw 20 years ago was that Cubans have it better.
Descriptions are usually relative. Obviously, a 65+ year old cannot get pregnant, so logically, geriatric pregnancy must mean a pregnancy at the older end of the ages that it is possible to be pregnant.
> Except for me and many others long covid symptoms got worse after vaccination.

Sure, because the MRNA spike protein appears to be rough on the endothelium even in healthy individuals, so it's easy to see why this could be problematic for people who already have vascular damage. But there are a lot of other long covid symptoms that folks have reported improving after getting vaccinated, e.g. loss of smell.
but if you can host your site from an S3 bucket, would it not be called static? to me, static means no server side languages necessary to render the page. if your statically served JS can call a remote host to pull down some data that updates things client side, it's still considered static, from a hosting perspective.
The "lazy hippy" thing is a bit revisionist. There was a huge back to the land component to 60s idealism that involved glorifying farm work amongst other forms of manual labor.
> …but as those apartments age they should become more affordable.

Unless population grows faster than prices can decrease keeping demand high.

And apparently it is the second fastest growing state.
I missed the one sparse reference because they use every other work dog whistle over and over throughout.

Why not just use that (shit things happen to poors) instead of all the other nonsense?

Ask HN: Please Help, Should I Quit My Job?
Hi HN,

We brought on a new CTO and his friend who he has worked with for a long time who is our principle developer. I have worked here quite a bit longer than them, longer than most people at the company, actually. I am probably "employee #5" in terms of tenure, and we have 30 or so employees right now.

I have a successful product at this company that has been bringing value, has been very stable, and works well. I am pretty much the only person who works on this product, but a few others contribute from time to time.

I want to stress that this project has been stable and only has had a few production bugs over the last year. It has processed quite a few requests, and I am responsive with issues and often can get features out to production the same day they are requested (while being tested, and with thoughtfulness - not just tossed out there - though there is always room for improvement).

Over the last year, the new team has demanded (not asked) that some major changes are to be made:

- We want to be a real microservices architecture, though I can't get a completely clear answer as to what that is. They don't think it needs separate databases, but they demand separate repos (no negotiation), separate deployments, and so on.

- They want major parts of the code that are in my repo to be split out into libraries that we may use in other parts of the company, but there are no concrete plans for their use. It is not "wow, that works well - can we use it?" it is "make that a library, because we want it to be one"

- They are changing my deployments. Right now I have CI/CD which works really great. You merge, it gets deployed behind the scenes. Quick, painless, love it. They want to go through a QA, review, whole mess, which they can't even explain to me (when I ask them to explain it, I am being difficult, even though I say, please, I just want to understand) fully. I am scared that this will make my job harder and I have mostly enjoyed my job until now and don't want that to happen.

I was just recently told that I "say no whenever we ask you for something" which isn't true. I realized that what was actually happening is some people made a decision without me, and when they thought they were telling me to do something, I was approaching it good faith as a discussion (not an order) and my "wait, what about ... can we talk this through to ... " was interpreted as a "no."

The end of it is, I don't see any added value to the changes, but I see a lot of problems, overhead, and stress to be added. When I ask about the value, it is seem as me being argumentative, difficult, and high maintenance.

What should I do? Have you been through something similar? What did you do?
The thing I still feel is missing from the iPhone keyboard design is some concept of clear intention from the user: it doesn't just correct near misses, it will also do ridiculous autocorrections where a few characters will somehow autocorrect--and to be clear for people who don't use it (or people who do but don't spend any time configuring it): I do NOT mean the autocomplete nonsense that I always have turned off--into giant words. I clearly didn't try to type a ten character word if I only hit the screen four times, right? It also should calm down if I start actively typing slower and with clear intention: if I'm suddenly typing at one character per second when I'm usually typing at five characters per second, it should probably just trust that I'm looking at the keyboard and tighten the bounds on its attempt to fix my mistakes.

ChatGPT isn't wrong.

Imagine putting two newspaper headings on the shelf at your local drugstore that happen to spell out an incorrect headline when combined. (Or put two browser windows together with a similar effect).

This is not wrong, your understanding of what it means is wrong. Sort your perspective out and you're fine.

1. LLMs are working as expected.

2. https://beta.openai.com/docs/guides/fine-tuning/case-study-i...

3. More complicated - probably not. It mostly just needs more data with specific training on domain specific areas. Take any field and generate some wrong completions from the data available and some right completions and the output tends to get better. Train it in the opposite fashion and it gets worse.

The meat of this comes back to people see ChatGPT as changing its response as an indication of understanding, but it's not. Users are just adding extra constraints on what parts of the language model the model uses to generate text. This is not the same thing.

An (perhaps poor) example of that might be where you're deciding to buy a tool that might solve a problem that you have. Evaluating whether it does solve the problem you decide that it doesn't. But then you evaluate whether you can afford the tool based on your budget and you decide you can, so you buy the tool. You haven't changed your mind, you've just constrained the reasons that you're using to evaluate the choice (electronic musicians often refer to this as GAS - Gear Acquisition Syndrome).

TL;DR: Stop Anthropomorphizing Language Models
Nothing is racist about inventing a fantasy race in a fantasy world. One of the reasons we have fantasy and science fiction is it allows us to discuss difficult real world topics in a setting that hopefully avoids the real world biases.

I think what people find racist about this situation is that the scenario is obviously mirroring black slavery (fine, it still needs to be discussed), and that the race the authors chose to stand in for blacks are a racial caricature of blacks (monkeys, real world racist dehumanization as used by real world white supremacists and real world history, generally considered sub-human). End result is you get to discuss slavery and racism of sub-humans, which probably isn't what the creators intended, but the sort of thing we got wrong in the 90s. And probably should be fixed in updates like this if you want to keep your IP and franchise alive and not join the masses of media that 'hasn't aged well'.
To be completely honest it sounds like being a trust fund baby is the right "job" for you.

It sounds like you just want to stay in your comfort zone, not do anything that your don't consider "fun", and don't want to learn anything you're not comfortable with, and don't want to think about the future or any of the rest of your company.
I had a pi-hole set up for quite a little while, but my partner complained that they could no longer click on google shopping links. It boggled my mind that anyone actually clicked on these, but now I have to find a way to whitelist their devices.
That was already done in the 1980s and early 1990s. Microsoft/IBM operating systems evolved the notion of consoles, still-handle-based I/O devices that responded to additional first-class I/O system calls (beyond the read/write/ioctl model) for 2-D addressing, direct output buffer manipulation (including reading of the output buffer), keyboard input that did not hide the decoding of key chords into characters, and mouse input.
I already don't wanna use it when I see api like 'useLocalStorage', when does this end the spreading of this garbage hook thing? What does local storage have anything to do with render cycle?

That’s the difference in this situation—we’re not acting as world police. We’re helping an allied nation defend itself.
Many people do in fact look for the highest return. You might have read some nice sounding theory around risk profiles, but the real world has investors doing basically anything and everything one can imagine.
> People should be taxed for driving ICE

They are. Heavily. In California, right now with gas at $3.59 (Costco), gas taxes are adding around 50% to the price of gas. ($1.15 of fixed fees, plus sales tax)

> All the money from these taxes should go to planting forests, renewables projects etc.

Those types of taxes get passed, but eventually end up in general funds or borrowed against to fund general funds. But people still keep proposing these like next time it won't happen.

If you are going to commercialize an image like put ads on your site or charge a paywall to see content all the models featured in the image must have signed model release forms. This isn’t us opining about how DMCA should work, this is just precedent.

Try to run a marketing campaign for any brand without getting model release forms for everyone depicted and you’ll see exact how legal responds.

Unless you are talking about fast DC chargers, an EV's current draw is comparable to a households appliance, such as an electric range, dryer or furnace.

I'd be surprised to hear of a community with trunk lines that actually can't handle 1-2 EVs per house.
More accurately, it was real on earlier hardware when people had things like games which were unusable on processors faster than IBM’s original 4.77MHz 8086 processor. As a kid I had a hand-me-down system where that was definitely necessary for a handful of older games.

That meant almost every case had that button and people got used to it. That didn’t mean it was always connected - we’re talking a simple cable connecting to a couple of pins on the motherboard so this was trivial - and I knew a couple of people who disconnected it to keep kids or certain hopeless adults from clicking it, forgetting, and then complaining that the computer was slow.

By the late 386/486 era that’d become pretty common and you stopped seeing it as much.
Fees make this wrong, and then no one is talking about "stock market capital". They are talking about funds or people. As such, it's correct that few people beat the market.
You're speaking my language. My wife and I have self diagnosed and fixed a shit-ton of ailments. Most of it with natural supplements, but occasionally we'll get the pharma stuff.

Heh have you actually worked with lawyers? They are paid by the hour and will do whatever it takes to increase the number of hours as much as possible. And the end result will be a contract so convoluted and muddy that they again will have to be hired to interpret their own work if there ever is a dispute. Lawyers is a racket.

In a previous company we realised that it was cheaper and way faster to hire a lawyer than using external lawyers. The difference in results was night and day.
> What I hate the most it's how the try to scam no savvy tech people, like grandparents and

Oh, that's my utter bane. My mom knows better, I've taught her how the manipulations work, and then she'll show me a pertinent article on her tablet, and see an utterly outrageous clickbait link from Outbrain or Taboola or the like, like "This mom found out her kids were smoking WHAT?!" and pictures of some bugs or whatever.

And she'll get a guilty and tortured expression and say "Oh, I know they're probably manipulating me, but I have to find out what this is about." No!!! You really don't have to!

I tried to sneakily install ublock, but I made ONE mistake when trying to add a custom filter on a site she regularly visits, which broke her user experience for 3 minutes before I fixed it, and she demanded I immediately uninstall the "hacker programs".
> Genuine question: what makes you sure I didn’t read the article (because I did).

I was not sure that you didn’t read the article. I was just suspecting it.

> Nothing in the article contradicts my post.

Au contraire. You wrote: “The idea of weaponizing ‘time theft’ as a first recourse is just sickening to me.”

That is not what happened in this case at all.

The company was unhappy with her performance and they let her go. She sued them. Does that sound like the company weaponised anything?

So why are you talking about “weaponising” and “first recourse”? How can it be “weaponised” when she was the one who was suing the company What is first recourse about this?

In fact if you read the small claims court case (linked from the article), you can see that she started working in October 12, 2021. They first talked about performance problems with her manager in February the next year. That is when they installed the time tracking software! She was put on a PIP in March 16. And she was dismissed on March 29th.

So clearly they were not weaponizing time theft, nor was it their first recourse.

Maybe you were just commenting in general how sickening it is to weaponise time theft as a first recourse. In which case I would have expected some mention that you are just speaking in general, noting that in this specific case that did not happen. Since you didn’t say that I suspected that you either didn’t read the article carefull enough to understand the case, or didn’t read it at all.
You're assuming they're mutually exclusive.

I will note that around 15 to 20 percent of the population already identifies as disabled and up to 60 percent will admit to having limitations that would benefit from accommodation if you survey them without using stigmatizing language like "disabled."

These stats were true prior to covid and the pandemic.

People widely underestimate how common disability already is.
Because it is for ghost writers or to act as the ghost writer. What good is a text generating AI otherwise if you're not generating text to present as though it's your own? Even if the text is accurate, it's still ghost writing unless the whole point is to specifically present an AI-generated piece of text as AI-generated (aka pure novelty). AI written articles, for example, aren't doing that.
It’s interesting how opposite people in nominally the same profession can be.

If the problem is solved before I write code I’m not really interested in writing code. I crave problems that require experimentation, where the solution isn’t obvious.

On the other hand, it’s a reason I have trouble completing projects. Once I prove to myself it’s feasible I get bored with finishing it…
Or it could be some people will always get long covid and others will never.

> new research is uncovering serious and significant risks for the vaccine

The frequency of the reaction mentioned in this article is around 2 in 100,000 people.

The frequency of death from covid is somewhere in the range of 1000-2000 in 100,000 people.

I'll take the vaccine odds.

> with fairly marginal protection benefits

Your source says nothing about protection benefits being marginal.

In fact, one of the author's of this research said:
"What the results don’t do, she stressed, is change the fact that the data strongly support getting vaccinated against COVID-19. “Clearly, developing postvaccine myocarditis is much more rare than developing any of the complications of infection with SARS-CoV-2,” she noted." https://www.tctmd.com/news/free-spike-protein-mrna-covid-19-...
Just be aware that some apps will bypass the local net DNS settings and hard code Google DNS or a third party DNS. I have a firewall rule in my router that redirects those queries to my pi-hole.
The smaller the PM gets the worse it is healthwise. Unfortunately manufacturers meet more stringent PM standards by crushing the particles smaller.

If they were serious about cleaning the air and fighting climate change they'd have started next gen nuclear programs twenty five years ago.
Remember that Europe is quite large and not homogeneous. For sure wages are lower and less different between blue collar and white collar jobs, which is both good and bad.

Hu, that is just very wrong on every level.

Most quant hedge funds target ~10% realized annual volatility as a sweet spot for most investors.
Should I Quit My Job?

There are a lot of pithy sayings out there. For example, in the world of football there is stuff like "If you have to ask if you have a QB, you don't have a QB." And so on. I think a similar pithy saying could apply here:

If you have to ask if you should quit your job, then you should quit your job.

I'm not trying to be glib here. What I mean is, if you're at the point that you're asking this, you already know at least sub-consciously that you want to leave. Maybe some reconciliation would be possible with a good mediator or something, but here's the thing: leaving is probably the best way to get more money anyway, and periodic change in scenery can be beneficial in general. Add it all up, and you might ask "why bother even trying to work things out here?"

The thing is though, you have a job (for now) and as long as you aren't sabotaging yourself by being too negative (outwardly) to the point of getting yourself fired, you have the luxury of making a change on your own terms. You can smile, say "yes, more pudding please", and do what they ask, while working on your exit strategy behind the scenes. Do any skills enhancement, interview prep, whatever you want to do, do practice interviews if you want, and then interview for new positions with the benefit of being able to be picky about what offers you consider (or accept).

It's always best to job-hunt while you have a job, as they say.
