The funny part is that most of that criticism is from techbros from silicon valley that are in a denial and "not like the other tech bros". The statement about HN in the linked article is proof of that, it is a very typical bay area upper middle class white people "ally" discourse. But it's funny that people inside that bubble think that they aren't also techbros from silicon valley lol.
My father grew up in the Great Depression in Los Angeles. He went to school with many Okies.

Pretty cool!

Honestly even if it were to take a few minutes per response, that's likely sufficient for many use cases. I'd get value out of that if it allowed bypassing a paywall. I'm curious how these models end up being monetized/supported financially, as they sound expensive to run at scale.

The required disk space seems the biggest barrier for local.
Pascal was designed to be a legible language. It eschews brevity for clarity, e.g., preferring BEGIN…END over {…} and tends to avoid footguns, although I remember writing a significant program in Pascal back in the 80s where I really wanted to be able to pass a function in to another function and was bummed that there was no way to do so (or at least not in Pascal/VS in 1987). Even though I’ve not written a line of Pascal since 1991 or maybe 1992, I still have no difficulty reading and understanding Pascal code when I find myself looking to see how, e.g., TeX manages some task.

Polyfill-data gem adds the Ruby 3.2 Data class to lower Ruby versions
I'm on a project that isn't yet on ruby 3.2 and wanted to use the new Data class.
I implemented this to allow me to move to it easily.

It does still have 1 failing test about redefining the initialize method with a block, but it works for all other cases.

The Ruby 3.2 Data class is based on C code from Struct. This is all implemented with Ruby.
They are there now, but are they founding members? Did they push for av1 anywhere? It seems their AOM membership is mostly a signal to the license cartels that eventually "paying for codecs is not going to be ok, unless you give us a good deal".
I don't know; it's hard to tell from this article.

This in particular stood out to me:

> The biggest problem, his lawyer, Isabelle Galy, told me, was that the company culture involved a lot of drinking. “There was a strong incentive and even obligation to consume alcohol,”

There have definitely been companies where I've avoided such "activities" because they devolved in to unhinged piss-ups and I was "made" to drink shots (I like a good beer or wine, but I don't like shots at all).

I like a good drink, but I hate forcing alcohol on people and don't like it when people drunkenly start smashing stuff.

To say nothing of:

> Monsieur T. alleges that he was subjected to “humiliating and intrusive practices such as the simulation of sexual acts, the obligation to share a bed with a colleague during seminars, the usage of nicknames and the posting in the office of deformed and doctored photographs.”

Basically: don't be surprised of not everyone likes your "team building" activities if they're frat boy piss-ups.
I just listened to Atomic Hobo's podcast about Threads, and as someone with a bit of a fascination with nuclear history, I sort of want to see it, but I can't quite decide if it's something I want to put myself through.
> Capitalist economies are notable for their ever increasing investment in the future

Oh really? Then why are all emergency services are run by governments?

Why doesnt private market invest in infrastructure and why is US infrasteucture in such poor condition?

Is that why capitalist society fails to invest into clean energy and hault climate change? Is that why soil erosion was running rampant untill government regulation was introduced, we had lead in petrol and rivers used to catch fire?

UK, as the most capitalist societt in Europe, looses the most money on heating the most poorly insulated houses. It knocked down its last gas storage facility because it was unprofitable.

Capitalis plans for the next quartery report, it does not plan fpr once in a decade famine. systemic relisience against rainy day is not one of its strength.
We are working on custom components for Retool Mobile. With custom components, we hope to give folks the ability to paint whatever component they need on the Retool canvas but there will of course be scenarios where retool isn't the right choice. We also build escape hatches where you can write JavaScript anywhere in Retool. We like to think we can cover a very broad base, especially in the scenarios in which Retool excels today.

It’s been said that the best way to get the correct answer from somebody is not to ask for it, but to instead give them an obviously incorrect answer. This annoys people enough for them to do the necessary research to come up with the correct answer, in order to prove the incorrect answer to be wrong. It might be that ChatGPT can be used to weaponize this tendency.

Maybe Stack Overflow should have an automatic pinned answer from ChatGPT (clearly labeled as such) on all questions, in order to goad people into providing the actually correct answer?

Americans are in so much denial about how rich their country is.

I'm in small town New Zealand, the kind of place certain kinds of Americans fantasize about immigrating to, especially when there's a republican president. Seeing people walk around barefoot while shopping is common. The majority of people burn firewood and/or coal to keep warm in the winter. And I'd say 95% of people have never lived in a temperature controlled house with a thermostat. Everything costs more money - electronics, fuel, food, accommodation - and wages are universally lower.

And this in one of the most developed parts of the planet. Think about how the US must compare to middle and low income countries. You'd be mind blown.
I use Obsidian for my personal notes which include medical history. I previously used OneNote.

The gist is I maintain my own timeline which is a table that has date, doctor name/phone, test results, corrective actions, and attachments.

Attachments are things like lab results, doctors notes, bills, etc.

I bought a scanner which you might see in a doctors office to scan all paper documents and attach. I use a Brother ADS-1200.

1Password is used to manage logins to health data systems. But I try to extract as much data as possible into my personal notes.
Perhaps this is just my autism speaking, but am I the only one who gets completely freaked out by sentences like the above? "It" refers to inanimate objects, things which can't have free will, do crimes, or be prosecuted.

It's almost like you're talking about how a lawnmower decided to run a child over and then incriminate itself by boasting about it on social media. It makes no sense!

I know she picked that pronoun herself, but I really wish she didn't. It just makes communication difficult.

Good to know he was professional people he work with - for what it is worth, I am not saying he is not good at what he does, and whatever personal shortcomings he might have, it's not about his work.

That's why I usually hold my tongue when people praise his work, there's no reason his personal believes should affect people's enjoyment of his work (I'd do the same for people enjoying Orson Scott Card's books, for example).
I only bought it up in response to someone else mentioning it.

That said, his weird political stance is not a new thing, and not under duress from the CCP. He had been saying things like "freedom is not good for Chinese people" "Chinese people need to be controlled" since around 2009.
>Supposedly simple concepts like 'track BPM' just don't work reliably in the real world.

Sure it does, you just have to give up on the idea of there only being a single value. A song could have multiple different BPM values, so in your database you'd just record a set (or a tuple in Python parlance). For subtle tempo shifts, you'd run the music through some kind of filter algorithm which would isolate sections with significantly different tempos, then for each section would find the average, then would make a set with those values and store it. The only place this would fall down is some weird music with constantly-changing tempo, where you'd end up with an average over the whole song.
Yes exactly. Odigos plays nice with manual instrumentation, meaning distributed traces will include both automatic and manual spans.
Currently there is no way to point manual instrumentation to the destination selected in Odigos but we working on it and should release it soon.
Most SDKs have a concept of no-op exporter that way Odigos will be able to pick up the manually created traces and deliver them to the chosen backend
Ask HN: Why doesn't Apple bring continuity to the Music app?
Apple boasts a lot about their handoff feature, but the one place where I need it most is when I play some music on my iPhone and want to later continue listening to it on my Mac. Spotify does a great job at that and that's been the main reason I haven't switched to Apple Music yet. Is there any technical/legal limit for Apple to avoid doing this?
My dad switched from being a socialist to a libertarian after a career living and working on military bases (a completely centrally planned community). One of the funnier stories he had was when the base commander tired of all the complaints about the dilapidated furniture in the base housing.

He got rid of it all. He put his wife in charge of selecting the replacement furniture. His wife's taste was impeccable, and the soldiers' wives would appreciate her efforts to bestow good taste on the minions.

The wives didn't just dislike the furniture, they hated it with all their might. (The men, naturally, couldn't care less about the furniture.)

My dad would laugh and laugh every time he recounted the story.

Hard to tell if it's banned. I guess now we'll never know.

(Serious answer: "CriticalRaceTheory!" as imagined by partisan right wingers isn't a subject being taught at the curriculum level anywhere. But yeah, obviously sociology and all its branches is a science and there's a ton of research being done on racial demography and explanations for signals in that data. Why should that be surprising? And... yeah, if you explain the wrong things now, in the wrong way, you tend to get banned in places like Florida. It kinda sucks.)
I believe that where the article says "farming unions" they are referring to organized capital, not labor. More of a cabal than a union.

Your inner critic is what you think the others think of you, and—setting aside coping techniques, however helpful—truly silencing it is possible in two ways: others stop giving you reasons for fearing their opinion, or you become a sociopath. I find the first option preferable, but getting there is on all of us…
The source code of an entire operating system with applications of its time is just 6MB.

Think about it. 30 years from now, Windows OS source code will feel like that, we'll download its zip in seconds and browse it. It'll feel miniscule. Linux too. Everything will feel so small after the AI Revolution of 2049, which will increase our code writing speed orders of magnitude, will write instant code for a device driver for a hardware by probing its input/output models based on your expectations from the device, even if the device doesn't support it, such as using a printer to measure ambient temperature by observing fluctuations in the ink capacity sensor. It'll figure that out on its own. Printers will have ceased to exist by then, of course, because of the great AI war against HP due to their cruel experiments on printers over decades to make them fail at unexpected times in order to maximize profits.

We'll never be able to comprehend how the humans of 2022 were able to do anything with computers at all.
I am not making a specific accusation, but illegal tax evasion occurs at both large and tiny companies. The form of this evasion varies where small companies may need to handle things under the table large companies have plenty of other options. Considering how often Amazon has been caught breaking other laws I would be shocked if they kept things strictly legal.

Also getting a refund does not imply you paid any income taxes can get refunded even if they send in 0$ money as was the case for Amazon in 2017, 2018, and 2019. The refund simply refers to getting money back.

Geometric mean

I’m surprised to see no mention of geometric mean.

People far too often incorrectly use Arithmetic Mean (“average”), which doesn’t compute correctly due to the compounding nature of the stock market.

The followup https://www.seroundtable.com/google-adsense-auto-redirect-bu... mentions it was Flash ads in 2015, which... of course they were. And not sure if it was the same instance, but also in 2015, https://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/us/security/news/cybercrime... mentions it was a Flash zero-day that was exploited, which... of course it was.

I'd love to see if there was anything from the post-Flash era, but this certainly answers the root question.
Another difference is that you can, in general, refuse to deal with a particular company.

Productivity has been increasing. The amount of land is fixed. In such a scenario, I would definitely expect the value of land to increase.
The explanatory power is in reference to 1984. The lack of cars in 1984 is yet another indication that economic prosperity declined relative to the year when the boom was written. Just as the chocolate ration was reduced multiple times.

However, if 1984 was written in say 1900 the lack of cars wouldn’t have signified anything.

When I buy stuff from Amazon, I always first click through an affiliate link so that (a) I can reduce Amazon’s profit by some minuscule amount and (2) I can direct some money to some person or organization out of money I would spend anyway. I’m usually going to some writer’s¹ website to make the purchase.

This cannot be used without a government ID card in some countries:

- You require a Google account to use it.

- To create a Google account, the user needs a phone number.

- SIM cards are in some countries only allowed to be sold if you show your ID card. Landline phones require a bank account, and those also require an ID.

Now, call me old fashioned, but even considering that I have nothing to hide about my music taste, I am appalled at needing government approval to search for music :)

And yes, I know I am a party pooper here, but this pattern has already creeped all over all Internet services, so at which point in time should we start to point it out everywhere if not now?

Anyway, to be constructive: If you want me to be human I will happily solve dozens of captchas or have my CPU run hot for a while to generate hashcash :) No need to involve daddy Google.
Best Paper Awards in Computer Science
A lot of people have mentioned Keith Devlin's book "Introduction to Mathematical Thinking" by Keith Devlin but for me his other book "Mathematics: The Science of Patterns" was something that really had a huge impact on me just to put mathematics in perspective. Probably has something to do with my own personal character and education but I needed that perspective before I could take the next step. Then the "Introduction to Mathematical Thinking" is a great following read. So it depends where you are.

> It's interesting to see that, contrary to popular narratives, many of the international groups banned were actually far-left aligned.

The list that Wikipedia determines "notable suspensions" is probably not the best gauge to counter "popular narratives". What Wikipedia chooses to highlight is often the sum of actual popular narratives - not simply popular protests [1]- which is sourced almost entirely from the media and then filtered through the culture found among Wikipedia power users.

A raw database of suspensions and their rationale [2] would probably be the only useful analysis.

[1] The people most often protesting bans aren't always the people getting the most media-sourceable attention for their bans

[2] Recent leaks show that that the US state/federal gov employees (and other well connected power players) often sent lists of tens/hundreds of accounts to be banned and Twitter employees often retroactively found reasons to do so when the given reason wasn't justified. So both the rationale and "notable" part both have questionable value for general analysis
Most people either forget or were too young to remember the time when Walmart was king. Despite their many, many faults Amazon was (and still is) considerably better for almost everyone than Walmart was in the 90's and early 00's. Walmart would destroy communities, bankrupt manufactures, and paid their employees so little on average that many of them still needed food stamps. The damage that Walmart did in the period 1995 to like 2010 really was incredible.

I really do think the expiration is coming up on Amazon too, with the same 15 year run. You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the bad guy.

I remember walking into the Computer Factory in Grand Central station in NYC and playing with the Lisa. (Later I did some Smalltalk on the Lisa and the Techtronix.)

I still remember the layout ca. 1979-83 like it was yesterday - on the right side when you walked in was a separate room with some kind of P-Code machine which was the "business mini". The Lisa and later the Mac were set up on a table on the right, and the Apple][ in the back. In the center were the Kaypro, and some other CP/M machines, and the Commodore Pets (the OG chicket keyboard version and the green-screen one w/the real keyboard) (incl. some IEE-488? accessories), the Sol II, and then the gfx show-offs (making my TRS-80 jealous), the CompuColor II and Exidy Sorcerer. The other wall had the printers - the Anderson-Jacobson daisywheel printer, an adapter w/solenoids to turn your Selectric typewriter into a printer, a few 9-pin matrix printes like the IDS Paper Tiger (right before the Epson MX-80 took over)

Good times. Sigh...
