It's Los Angeles police; they're lazy, and anything that involves them not doing paperwork (as they'd have to catalogue every individual record there) is right up their alley. Homeless people defecating on the Metrolink right in front of an officer? Not an eyelash batted. I see this daily.

It seems fine. I'm glad they didn't use a useless watered-down mobile design with excessively rounded components like Xfinity and other businesses have lately been doing. On larger monitors, there should be a full width option though.
At least in ancient times back in 2004, while I was on Nellis AFB (North Las Vegas, NV) a large part of people stationed there would just go down to the strip or downtown. I remember a number of orientation briefings about addiction counseling but they took on a different tone being in Las Vegas.
Sigh, yet another site that contorts into an absurd distortion of a mobile layout at a still spacious viewport width. Am I the only person with two windows up?

Tragic few are waking up at 7am to provide clean beds, food and water. And if they were able to use that system, there's incentive to maintain it. I feel like so many people who work fast food do so because it literally provides them with food.

> It probably is a great time for a startup, just probably not a tech startup

Well, it's not really an issue of tech vs. non tech anymore is it? A good chunk of the largest companies are now under the "tech company" bucket. It boils down at the end of the day in whether they invest heavily in tech or if it's incidental.

This mashes together companies as diverse as Tesla, Snowflake, and Airbnb together. The former is a car company with inventory, etc. The middle one is a SaaS company. The latter a travel company platform.

Ultimately, a few things are clear-- even after 5% interest rates get slashed (which looks increasingly likely to happen in 2024 and not 2023) investors are no longer interested in businesses that have no idea how they'll attain profitability. I would argue this is a good thing-- it now forces companies to be strategic in what they invest in.
Neat, this isn't the first time I've seen something like this come up so it essentially validates the use-case for them.

Those guys really took the "Universal" in "Universal Serial Bus" to heart. Let's multiplex every conceivable connection device known to man into one giant standard, and throw in the ability to power the devices, too. That should really make things simple.

I seem to recall that there was some proverb about systems becoming so baroque that they eventually become rubble.

It seems that USB is sewing the seeds of its own destruction. No doubt that within 20 years they'll decide the whole thing is so complex that they need to replace it with something simpler.

And I'm still puzzled as to why plugging a keyboard into a keyboard port was considered such an inconvenience in the first place.

I think that USB is an object lesson in why you can't reduce inherent complexity, only shuffle it around.

(author) Most of them are in pretty rough shape, too. Covers disintegrating, warping, dust, etc. A couple are even cracked. That's why my current plan is to hang on to them, catalogue them, maybe give a few away to friends and family as birthday presents — and of course, if the rightful owners are ever found, return them. Selling them just seems like a really big hassle, honestly they'd have to be worth a few bucks apiece for me to consider dealing with all the logistics of it.
I think that NNTP making a comeback would be better than a simpler HTTP or adding more features to Gopher. But people can already have that with a Reddit clone or phpbb.
>Kuznets' quote is about international finance.

This is a contradiction. You said social unrest is caused by financial collapse. International finance in a globally integrated economy like Argentina then necessarily becomes a piece of the financial collapse that causes unrest.

And the endless context switching. I just can't get people to leave me alone long enough to get anything done. Constant requests from people above me and below me and no resources to get anything finished. It's exhausting and it all takes place on a stupid monitor in my office at home. I've never even met the people I've worked with for the last 3 years. I live at work and it bleeds into everything.

Many thinks traumas in adult life are linked to childhood addition.
Some people believe that gambling is immoral, and that hosting slot machines or other gambling games is exploitative.

Some people are not necessarily opposed to gambling, but strongly believe the government should take care of military personnel. To them, this may be an example of the government failing to provide more wholesome (or at the very least, less expensive) activities.

Some people are outraged by the amount of money the government spends on the military. To them, this may be an example of the government collecting yet more money from enlisted personnel rather than using their extensive budget to properly fund the "morale, welfare, and recreation" programs.

I suspect the article's intent is to highlight the latter two points. Personally I'm not sure how to feel about it. While I am not opposed to gambling, I do think we need support for managing addictions (including gambling addictions).

Assuming you've made a good-faith effort to find the owners of the records, congrats on the haul! Takes a bit of the sting of the theft out I hope.

Some advice for you is to sell off those records you know you don't like and use the proceeds to fund a basic record washing machine. That will make a big difference to your enjoyment of the albums you keep. That lot looks old and gnarly and you'll want to get the dirt out before it gunks up your stylus. Brush alone won't do it and you have too many to comfortably do by hand.

Otherwise I assume you've followed the steps to set up your turntable properly and balance the arm rather than just plugging it in and using it? Get that (badly) wrong and you can really make a mess of the records.
Kinda disagree with point 1.

People marry who they fall in love with and love is purely emotional.

Just because bitcoin and OpenAI have nontrivial value doesn't mean we're not in a bad economy.

Inflation is rampant still, even wealthier folks are cutting back, and interest rate hikes are destroying markets. Keep in mind markets always lead the broader economy by at least several months. They'll crash well before earnings consistently start looking bad and recover before you see earnings recover. US interest rate hikes are also having an outsized effect on other countries vs. the domestic economy.

(author) I think your guess is probably correct. So far I haven't found any traceable ownership markers, but if I do, I will make an effort to return them. I suspect that the records may have been stolen from multiple sources given the high variation in preservation. I also feel it's probable they've been stolen for some time now because of how poorly they appear to have been treated — disintegrating covers, melted records, cracks, etc.

> 3. Discover what experiences formed their character in early life

Glad his experience went well, but this is fishing for emotional intelligence. No stranger needs to be asking these sorts of questions-- you end up letting slip things like parent issues, lack of friends, low self-esteem, etc. and they end up exploiting that later. It's Grooming, and how you end up working for an abusive boss.

> 5. Identify what irritates people the most in others—because this is probably the trait they dislike most in themselves.

No. This is 1960s psychobabble (projection). You don't have to be a liar to hate liars, nor do you need to be a closet homosexual to be homophobic. Nobody would suggest that a guy who commits hate crimes against Chinese secretly wishes he were Asian.

Some people just have trust issues/take Integrity seriously, and other people just don't have tolerance for anything that challenges their world view. Be careful what you read into.
How is this free exactly? The cost to running a quality model is certainly not zero or even cheap. Is this explained anywhere?
Well sure, as ever, it depends on your usecase.

PDF is an insanely complex spec (I’ve spent more time reading it than most because I need to know bits of it for my job and I just generally find it fascinating). But a lot of devs just need to put some content on the screen to match a template they were given. In my experience, a complete enough markup language allows you to bang out and maintain those templates better than code.

I know it doesn’t suit every need, but it’s just a way of representing the data so it’s closer to the final output than imperative code is. Definitely take your point though about the limitations becoming dealbreakers.
What are you quoting? Neither this thread nor the article says these quotes.
I write educational technical articles for a living. Dev tools, frameworks, security, APIs, infrastructure, web3, etc.

I talk to the AI as if I would interview an expert on a subject matter.

This usually gives a good starting point for an article, if the subject is general enough, and not too new.

It's also good at structuring and rewriting texts. If you already have all the correct data, you can use it to write an outline or something like that.

The problems I saw were that it can't follow a coherent thought for more than a few paragraphs, and the writing style is generally a bit boring.

Also, the system uses sampling of results to sound more interesting and to prevent overfitting, it happens regularly that it tells you crap. One time you get a good answer, then you change one word in your prompt and the results isn't accurate anymore.

But I worked for years as a developer, so I usually notice when things are off, and I also fact check manually with Google when I want to be sure.
I paid for Tabnine pro since it was 50% off for a year but I won't renew it unless it massively improves.

I suspect the cop either had to keep them (and catalogue each individual record as evidence) or just let them walk and shrug his shoulders if someone can to claim them.
"Everything you want provided while your burnt out is because someone else is getting up at 7am everyday for decades."

That is a hypothesis.

So sure, someone needs to get up, so the hot water comes out of the wall, but it is not at all clear that it needs to be always the same guy grinding, while next door someone else is dying of boredom and watching netflix until he passes out. Give him a real chance to qualify and maybe he will be happy to do useful work. Remove the whip of existential threat and maybe he get up on his own again, because he wants to and not because he must.

Also there is so much energy spend on fighting for basic ressources, or fighting regulations, or other arbitary constraints, that in theory we could reduce the work needed by a lot.

But of course the question is - will society work at all, with the basic competition removed? Will it make population explode, until there are literally no ressources left to share? We don't know, but I am open to try out more experiments in that regard.
I wish Boston Dynamics would put some googly eyes on their robots or find some Japanese engineers to help design them or something. The Skynet vibes from their videos are always off the charts.

Thanks. Yes, rendering and shaping are distinct but some of the linked libraries did one, the other, or both and the parent commenter singled out rastering which is how I ended up putting FreeType and HarfBuzz in the same sentence. Even then both are commonly used in tandem (see [1]-[9]) and have a few overlapping functionalities.

(author) I've only tried out a few records so far, and that was last night when I set it all up for the first time. I didn't think to re-calibrate the turntable because the seller told me that it had been serviced by the previous owner, but it's probably a good idea to double check anyways.
I would advise them to immediately learn what their universal human needs are and how to effectively meet them. Learn to let go of what isn't needed and learn learn how to meet needs through moderation. Learn how to ask for things to be given to you because so much is locked up behind money and it's real people who can let it out for free, but they almost never do it without asking unless it's to their benefit.

This will help keep cost of living way down so you don't have to give a shit of you're tossed on your ass without any notice or severance. Stop pretending the business landscape was made with your wellbeing in mind; if that were the case, your onboarding package (or interview?) would involve making sure you're aware of your needs and how to meet them. Any business unable to produce such a document is not designed with your wellbeing in mind.

I'm really glad you got your car back, too. Hope the repair costs aren't a big drain.
I agree. Context is everything. A "test" in a work environment is one thing, but at a restaurant? My priorities are totally different at a restaurant. I just want to eat and have a good time. I don't need to be in control. That's not why I'm at a restaurant.

At a restaurant, short of something truly egregious like hair in my food or raw meat, I have tremendous patience for wait staff. Mistakes happen. Kitchens can be hectic, orders get mis-entered. Maybe I wasn't clear about what I wanted. But at the end of the day, what I'm eating is far less of a priority than the fact that I'm eating with someone.

But if they bring a dish that wasn't what I ordered, I might just shrug and accept it. Who cares if it's a burger instead salmon and veg? It's not the end of the world for me.

Does that make me a pushover? I don't think so. It just means I don't prioritize restaurant food over other things, like ensuring the table has a good time and is socializing.

Likewise, if someone interrupted us at the table to say hi, I'd generally understand. Maybe it's rude, but we're in public and it's a social situation, and the world doesn't end if someone interrupts to say hi to the person I'm eating with.

But when I'm in the workplace, in context, then I am much firmer. You don't get to interrupt my meetings. You don't get to deliver the wrong project. I don't get to yell at anyone or treat anyone with disrespect, but I also don't need to tolerate disruption and chaos.

It's a social exercise at companies like Microsoft. You lay people off because you are expected to lay people off, hell you'll look irresponsible for not laying people off.

Honestly though, the original comment was just a plea for more competition to drive innovation it seems.

Most of the data scientists I've worked with are programmer hobbyists as well. We've used Javascript/Python/Go/R. Maybe this will exist for people in that demographic, those who are data scientists that already are solid in programming.

Regardless, more cool toys are good.
Presumably they could ask the car thief where the records came from if they caught him, but it seems likely that the police found the car but have no idea who stole it. In which case, the records are just random objects with no identifiable owner.

Hitting print in the browser or calling Window.print() if you want to force the dialog.

If you serve a PDF you still need to hit print or use dialog to save, you can use a headless browser server side to serve that if needed.

I do think browser could use better print API's but you not getting around that with server side PDF's unless the server direct prints to on site printers or something.
