> no real follow-up on reports... drives users to perceive their environment as more hazardous than it really is

I don't know about your neighborhood, but when I check Citizen real events get filled with hundreds of verifications, comments, and videos. It's not a case of Citizen trying to invent things that aren't there, sowing some fake sense of hazard.

> the better way of getting that awareness is through your community

I don't know what the mechanism of community awareness is supposed to be, except Citizen? That is the community awareness, as people are posting and verifying there.

> I'd have no problem at all with an app like to Citizen that plugged directly into community emergency services, run by the community as a public good

Citizen is plugged directly into community emergency services -- that's the police. And I just don't see how any app is going to be "run by the community as a public good". That makes as much sense to me as saying people shouldn't use Gmail, but an email app run by the community as a public good. It's not scalable or viable.
I was shocked few years ago to discover my e-mail was set in my profile to be publicly visible. Just in case verify it's not the same with your phone number.
They spend a lot of that money supporting upstream contributions, maintaining a first-class Linux experience, providing real support, and otherwise putting their money where their mouth is.

Compare to almost literally any other laptop, where uttering the word "linux" gets you nothing more than a voided warranty and a strong YOYOMF, and some fraction of customers will see value in System76's approach.

Pixel for pixel, watt for watt, you could do better elsewhere. But only with a Windows preload and jumping through hoops if you ever have a hardware failure and have to reinstall the preload to run some awful diagnostics before getting an RMA, for instance. Awful experiences like that really take away from the "value" of a cheaper machine, if your time is worth money, as I suspect it is.
It sounds like both parties were inflating their numbers. When JPM bought the site, they announced it was used by “over five million” applicants, yet in their complaint they say the number was 4.25 million.

4.25 million is not “over five million”…
> I definitely don’t consider killing animals for food immoral.

This is a highly interesting standpoint-- would you consider it morally problematic to kill more intelligent animals for food, like dogs?

What about human children (younger than a year? younger than 6?).

Is there a line for you somewhere? Where approximately and why?

This is drastically different from myself and most meateaters I know which concede moral problems with killing animals for food in general but ignore them in favor of enjoyment of food, so I'm very curious about how your framework looks like.
Just have to add a bit of value in some way. For example, if I could just take a picture of my receipt after shopping, and a 'budget' is filled out for me automatically, so I can track my spending, I'd use the hell out of that.

Doesn't have to be much if a value add. Just something.

Yes and no. You may not have a perfect information and your police call may result in unpleasant results overall and most of us rarely have enough information to determine what is a 'real crime' short of obvious stuff like arson, mugging and so on. There are just so many variables and random encounters like that can easily get volatile.

But the time guy cut stuff from the bush I planted over the fall? I did not call cops, but he did get a very simple 'get off my property'. Unless the guy did not leave, I would not consider it a real crime.. just something you should not do.

And I say all this with while I tend to err on the side of caution for a variety of reasons.
I don't know anyone who refers to the element as wolfram in English. The abbreviations are internationally standardized and many don't stand for the English words anyway (Latin is quite common, e.g. Pb means plumbum, for lead).
I kind of agree but, of course, the elephant in the room is the whole culture that these companies exist in:

Raise large amounts of money
Grow exponentially
Have a sweet exit for the investors

Nothing that happened is surprising in this light. Even with a "nice" CEO and generous layoff terms, the simple issue is that the market for any given company can only ever be so big and the CEO doesn't get to choose "less growth" with investors breathing down their necks.
Interesting! I'm a bit frustrated with the default character limit and would like to move to an instance with a longer one, but it's not easy to search for.

What other instances do you know of with a longer character limit? Can we see how such posts look on other instances with shorter limits?

One of the things I like about hierarchies is that such disputes should be handled by someone higher up with coding expertise. Someone or a team who can weigh in things like long term maintenance and cost. Perhaps there are similar issues elsewhere that the proposed solution, or an alternative, could solve. There's a need for someone higher up the chain, if developers can just add disputed complexity.

I see architects as the people to go to under such circumstances. They were not always interested in small things like whitespace, but I think they should take it seriously if it's brought up.
The hassle is the relentless debugging and glitchiness after slapping Linux on a Windows computer. System integration is a thing, and it's hopeless for a random user with zero access to firmware and chip/board documentation.

Also, the support and open firmware.

In the past, the bitcoin price sometimes increased when there were rumors that a centralized exchange was insolvent, as people liquidated their positions and bought bitcoin to get their assets out of the exchange.

I don't have any assets on exchanges, but if I did I'd want to get them out now. If I have to choose an offline store of value that will still be worth something in five years, should I use Tether or bitcoin?
You are absolutely right about that[1]. but strangely, on the 7640U the CPU core count drops from 8 to 6 in comparison with the 6800U. Presumably to make room for the new AI cores? I'm not sure that trade off is right for me.

Interesting vulnerability.

Having just written a DER parser I found the format way more complicated than expected. For security, simplicity is better. Note that every time you connect to an HTTPS web site, your browser is attempting to parse DER files (the certificates) that are attacker-controlled and can contain corrupt data. Scary stuff.

Honestly, I disagree. The 6800u has a base TDP of 15 watts - the 6800HS has a base TDP of 35w. The tradeoff in thermals/battery life is not worth the marginal performance increase, at least in my opinion.

I have bad news... newer cars have automatic lights: the car swithes by itself between high and low beam. When I was in such a car, it kept high beam on even when another car was coming the other way. I told the driver that he should turn it off. He said: but they are automatic! Automatic or not, you are still responsible for what your car does. The problem is that these "features" are sold as beeing perfect by car manufacturers when in reality they barelly work.

Call me naive or quote xkcd, but whenever I read about the shortcomings of YAML, I daydream about a new standard that's mostly a subset of YAML, that looks like this:

rules:
- "All strings must be quoted and are parsed identically to JSON strings"
- "true and false are the only boolean values"
- """multiline strings
are allowed"""
- """|
there can even be special multiline string types
to indicate things like "dedent every line and
trim the beginning and end lines if empty
"""
# Comments are allowed!
- Number syntax just like JSON

better_than_yaml: true
"a number with multiword key": 1e9
nesting:
present: true
difficult: false

It has the ease of coding of yaml, maps 1:1 with json (so can easily be re-serialized to json or yaml if needed), is familiar to folks who know yaml, and supports comments. And it eliminates ambiguous parses and gotchas, references, tags/directives, and other complexities.
There's a big difference between planning something and actually going through with it. The military makes all sorts of contingency plans that never have a serious shot of seeing use. Per the linked article, the Allies were expecting some level of cooperation from the countries in question, which they never got, thus the plan never executed. It was not supposed to be a full-on violent invasion like the Nazis' actions.

Interestingly, it looks like System76 has 4k options for their Intel machines. Hopefully that's a sign of things to come on their Ryzen line?
> This works in Japanese and English, but Spanish and Russian outright treat Nanachi as female, and just stick a "gender is supposed to be ambiguous" note somewhere in the corner

I don't mean to dismiss the concerns of nonbinary people who don't want to use any gendered variants of words to describe themselves, because 100% agreed, that's a real problem with translations to Russian, Spanish, German, etc... No dispute at all on that point.

But outside of that context, it sounds like Spanish and Russian do have a way of dealing with this situation? They use a default gender and add a note that it's meant to be a bit ambiguous. This is kind of what I'm getting at, it's not that Spanish/Russian languages have no way to talk about someone who's nonbinary, they just use a default gendered pronoun.

That is a real problem if you want zero gender at all, but most people aren't going to care -- for most people it would be fine to just ask their pronoun in that language, and at most follow up with "do you want feminine/masculine variants" if they provide an ambiguous answer.

----

Coming back to this conversation a day later with a bit more thought, I really feel like we're talking past each other. My contention isn't that gendered languages provide an easy way to be completely genderless. I agree with you about pretty much all of the difficulties in translation you've talked about, and agree with you that nonbinary representation in those languages is difficult. I even agree with you that gendered verbs/nouns make writing ambiguous dialog much harder, absolutely hiding the gender of someone in a novel in Russian is going to be harder than it would be in English.

My contention isn't about any of that stuff at all, it's that the languages:

A) do still have mechanisms for ambiguous gender (ie, using default gendered pronouns) where defaulting to masculine case is probably fine for many contexts where you don't know who your user is or where you're referring to a generic non-specific user. It seems (at first glance at least) like that won't offend many people.

B) But more importantly to the starting point of the thread, making the determinations of which gendered nouns/verbs to use only really requires knowledge of the pronoun, not knowledge of the underlying actual gender identity that someone has.

In other words, if you know someone uses "el" in Spanish, it doesn't actually matter to the translation anymore whether they're nonbinary or not. Just from them telling you what pronoun they want to use, you know what gendered word variants to use when referring to them. My understanding is that Russian is the same; you don't need to know if someone is nonbinary, you need to know whether they want masculine or feminine word variants.

That being said, completely agreed that if you ask someone for a Spanish pronoun and they say "elle", that complicates things (although maybe that's a bad example since it seems like modern Spanish language in specific is now starting to some tools in that direction).
Interesting. For me the screen needs to be 16:9 or 16:10 to be even considered.
I'm not familiar with udb, only with rr. Compared to rr, gdb's recording for reversible debugging is tremendously slower. However rr has strict requirements for the CPU (didn't work on AMD, the last time I looked) and requires some permissive perf_event_paranoid setting to run.

In my experience rr's recording is around x2 slower for single threaded programs than running the program on its own.

I think featurewise they are in parity.

I heard that udb is like rr, but better on some fronts (except price and software freedom).

I like 16x9. What do you want instead?
The outdoor unit can vary the frequency of the compressor drive to track a desired refrigerant temperature in the face of varying load from the indoor unit. As the indoor air comes closer to the desired temperature, it will cool off the returning refrigerant less than when there is a large delta-T. The outdoor unit can adjust the compressor speed to closely match the heat transfer and run continuously at a lower speed rather than cycling on/off. There is a minimum speed below which the compressor can't run [and so would have to cycle], but in general the outside unit is smoothly variable.

The indoor unit fan speeds are only loosely connected to this. (The higher the indoor fan speed, the greater the heat transfer and load on the compressor, all else being equal.)
Civilization waxes and wanes. Pieces of it are always growing and collapsing, sometimes waves of collapse are synchronized. Even if there was a ‘fall’, if the population fell back to 2 billion a lot of the resource and environmental pressure we are feeling now would be a lot less acute and people might settle into a good place, at least for a while.

I had a theory of everything circa 2000 based on reading about the 1960-1980 period which is that there is a balance between civilization making problems and solving problems and sometimes the making problems gets out of control to the extent that trying to solve problems creates more problems. (E.g. early attempts as emissions controls resulted in terrible ‘gas guzzling’ cars, you go on strike because of inflation, your employer raises prices, you go on strike again.)

It is possible to dig out of this syndrome, we did it in the 1980s.

I was expecting a generalized crisis circa 2005, it actually took a bit longer.

Slightly tangential, but for those who have gone through vulkan-tutorial.com and still felt lost even knowing a bit about basic graphics programming concepts, I highly recommend Brendan Galea's Youtube video series on Vulkan [1]. I'm about halfway through it and so far it has really tied together a lot of different concepts and cleared up a lot of my lingering confusion.

If healthcare costs were completely private - then sure, do whatever you want.

When a large portion of healthcare costs are public - then you might want to ban things with huge negative externalities in the form of future healthcare costs...

It's a little unfair to eat your cake and have the public pay for it later...

Bullying does nothing to teach people about difficult situations. It’s just unnecessary cruelty.

I’m not an American but I can echo a sentiment noticed in this thread. When I attended a private school, the rules were clear, bullying will get you suspended or expelled faster than you could pull it off and students saw virtually no bullying.

Then I switched to a Public school where students bullied extensively with the teachers and administrators turning a blind eye…I forever loathe that school and will never send my children to a public school because of this.

Tell HN: Tailscale terms updated, added mandatory arbitration
Just received this email:

Hi,

As the Owner (or designated Account changes contact) for your Tailscale tailnet, we’re reaching out to inform you that we have updated Tailscale’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

What’s changed?

We added a Data Privacy Addendum (DPA, a.k.a. “Data Protection Agreement”) that outlines our uses, obligations, and responsibilities with protecting your data.
We improved definitions and language to reflect our ongoing commitment to safeguarding your privacy and data, as well as to making room for some new features we’re working on.
We changed the jurisdiction of the documents to New York, NY USA (from Ontario, Canada).
We included a binding arbitration clause to help mitigate the business risks of granting a DPA to all of our customers.
We incorporated an NDA to make it easier for us to share resources like our SOC 2 report with any customer that requests it.
Please take the time to review the new documents, linked above. Copies of our former agreements - Terms of Service and Privacy Policy - are available in case you wish to compare.
What do I need to do?

You don’t need to take any action to accept the new Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. They are now in effect.

If you have any questions, please reply to this email.

Cheers,

David Carney

Co-founder & COO, Tailscale Inc.

Yep, opens up the horizon, both of the eyes and of the mind - not that they're necessarily different, but for me it's a very physical feeling in the mind, to move from focusing a foot away to focusing on "infinity".

> I find this to be the most elegant way to handle dithering

Yes, it's so simple, it can be applied in a single pass on a single pixel buffer. Because in convolution kernel terms - it's only sampling from half of a moor neighbourhood, and that half can be from pixels not yet processed in the same buffer when moving through them in order.

It's so simple it fits in a dweet ;P

Killedbyapixel took the above dweet for inspiration in the style of some of his proc gen art, although I haven't dug into the how yet. I suppose deeper game/object awareness integration could produce better results than merely piping the output of the renderer into the dither algorithm, perhaps even the rendering could be optimized by targetting dithering specifically.

they went through, its like $3-4 for a 2 liter. even diet so its not even about sugar, though diet soda isnt really much better. and i think the latest study is less than half the money went where it was supposed to.

at the least, tax at sales tends to be regressive, affecting poor people more than not poor, which maybe you could claim is racist. but pa constitution doesnt allow anything but flat taxes, so unfortunately theres basically no progressive taxing here. sin taxes in general i find somewhat troubling, sure its a luxury but why is this luxury deserve more tax than that.

I'm always amazed at how many people flat out get angry with me when I say fast food is simply not cheaper than cooking yourself, provided you have a kitchen. I'm consistently told that that level of thinking is necessarily classist (and therefore racist), because it's more time, effort, and in the short-term, money, that needs to be involved.

I do not understand how making stir fry with chicken breast/thighs, frozen veggies, and rice is somehow the most expensive, time-consuming task in the world, but apparently that's a high-class dinner to many folks on the internet, and I'm 100% convinced it's because of the lie they are told (and then perpetuate) that the dollar amount you see in front of you is the dollar amount in totality.
