only the Sith deal in absolutes.

schizophrenics often reject medication in the midst of psychosis, while agreeing it's necessary when they're lucid.

lots of addicts genuinely want to kick the habit, but their willpower fails them. drugs like disulfiram and naltrexone can help by making highs unpleasant or unattainable.

sex offenders who abuse minors are sometimes chemically castrated with GnRH agonists as part of their parole. this reduces their sex drive by depriving them of androgens, reducing the risk they'll reoffend.

where to draw the line is complicated, but at least in the schizophrenic case I really think forced medication compliance helps everyone. if you're not lucid you aren't competent to make medical decisions.
Except, it's not accurate. It says "move the knight to every square" but the game is actually "move the knight to the next square specified".
The exception proves the rule. If we have them already for subs, but still don’t have them on land then they must be bad ideas when cost matters.

Not an American so I probably should not complain. But when I opened the page out of curiosity for the first time, I found many terms that require explanations, such as what is AGI?

The "What Is IRS Free File?" section below it explained most of my questions, so I think the "What Is IRS Free File?" section should exchange it place with the "Choose from IRS Free File" section. This allows the reader to have a clearer mind when preforming the filing process.

Just my two cents.

I wouldn't take the matter lightly though, because based on my understanding and what I've learned from the movie Everything Everywhere All At Once, IRS tax filing is a serious manner thus the tools designed to do that should be more user-friendly. I don't think getting kungfu-attacked by the IRS lady is enjoyable for any American (as well as going to jail/getting fined for misfiling).
Yes, but "living in neurons" != "living in the brain" != "causes neurodegenerative disease", which seems to be the implication being drawn here.
I wonder how design decisions like this happen. Surely there's existing reserved/invalid, instead of existing "valid and theoretically useless, but may possibly be emitted by a sufficiently stupid compiler" opcode space they could've used?

On x86, Intel has both reserved-invalid (generates an exception) and reserved-valid (acts as a NOP) space for future instruction extensions which are intended for code that's exclusively used on CPUs supporting them and code that only serves as a hint for supporting CPUs but harmless otherwise.
Ask HN: When did you realize you need Kubernetes in your setup?
Hi,

I have started using containers in my setup, both in solo projects and at $JOB which is a small product company. I do not know much about Kubernetes at this moement. I am wondering if it will help me manage multiple containers better or something like Portainer would be sufficient. For some years now my approach to most of the tech decisions have been "you will discover when you need $SHINY".

I am wondering when you guys realize you needed Kubernetes in your setup. What were the key factors that led to this realization? After using it for some time, at this moment, do you think it was worth it?

Thanks.

I just open a root shell with `sudo -i` when I need to do some admin stuff… But that's not the point.

If the post is a joke it's not a good one. Sudo has issue, sure. But this tool is even worse! You could just start working as root user the whole time, like many people do (or did) under Windows, but we all should know where this will end.

The developer didn't do anybody a favor creating this. He will be imho directly responsible for any harm done by this tool.

People should really think upfront about the consequences of their stupid jokes.

People are dying these days form "changeless" on TikTok that are often also just stupid jokes put online by even more stupid people without any sense of responsibility. I see parallels here to be honest.

Because it sounds good.

This is the responsible thing to say.

But unlike in scenarios where this phrase means something, such as when your kid ends up in trouble, this CEO is most likely never going to impact the individuals that they "take full responsibility" for again. So the words are quite hollow. Taking full responsibility would mean provide financially for them until they're back on their feet.

Well, even if "they both rose about 6 years", they aren't actually the same. I chose the lowest for a reason, since it shows a bigger shift in relative terms. Going from 22-28 is bigger percentage gain than 24-30.

It actually is the more impactful number which was relevant to my original point (people are staying in the dating pool for a longer % of their life)

It seems like the range downside due to diffraction and atmospheric dispersion of most lasers rules them out way before ablative armor becomes relevant. I could imagine close-in missle defense being some kind of exception, but if you can only cover a small area, then the 'high upfront cost, low cost per shot' tradeof stops being a good tradeof.

As for anti radiation missles. The 'directed' part of a directed energy weapon should make that much harder. Besides, a laser like this probably isn't firing constantly, whilst a radar station is emmiting constantly.

> That sounds like a troubled, mentally unwell person?

You mean you don't know for sure? Do you want the investigators to stop investigating if a suspect "sounds" mentally unwell? Should prosecutors refuse to prosecute if the suspect "sounds" mentally unwell?

What I'm saying is ... why, in this particular case, should that make any difference to the prosecution or investigation? We already find mentally troubled people guilty, we just sentence them differently.

So, yeah, the sanity/insanity of an individual makes no difference to whether they are guilty or not, it only changes the specific nature of the charge (i.e. premeditated vs culpable) and the sentencing (asylum or prison).

Someone is is genuinely mentally unwell in a way that results in them harming other people must still be kept away from society!

IOW, people who are dangerous to others need to be locked up. Whether they are insane or not is not relevant to keeping them locked up, it is only relevant to where they are locked up, and how they may be rehabilitated.

> Let’s say someone who’s mentally unwell wrote notes to confess to crimes, is it enough to convict them based on that evidence alone?

No one is currently convicted on the basis of a confession alone[1]. Normally a confession just means that the investigation into the confessor is more thorough than it would ordinarily be.

Is it perfect? No, but it is a lot better than you appear to believe.

I think if you thought about it for more than a few seconds, you'd realise the questions you are asking have obvious answers.

[1] Have you any idea how many people claimed to be famous serial killers? it happens more often than you think. It's also why specifics of a crime may not make it to the news, because the police use those specific details to identify those confessors who are not the perpetrator.

> A shitty programmer with a bad attitude from Meta, Google, etc. is far more likely to get opportunities than the best programmer in the entire insurance industry...

First, even if this is true, are you seriously arguing that people with relevant work experience from biggest tech companies getting opportunities is anti-meritocratic? (And no one is just handing out jobs, they still have to do well at thr interview)

Besides this even true? I personally know lots of people who in big tech that haven't previously worked at big tech. These companies hire tons of fresh grads out of college too, and not everyone is from ivy leagues, in fact from my experience, most are not.
The "What Is IRS Free File?" section below it explained most of my questions, so I think the "What Is IRS Free File?" section should exchange it place with the "Choose from IRS Free File" section. This allows the reader to have a clearer mind when preforming the filing process.

Most Americans have been painfully aware that we have been unable to file online directly with the IRS and searching for a free file software is a giant nuisance. Given that the user base will be mostly Americans, I imagine it's probably fine.
The point is learning to generalize the sequence of moves, and that's why it doesn't give any visual cue.
I'm currently a 0x dev at rest, recovering from burnout. But when conditions are right (given autonomy and not micro-managed), I've been able to achieve even 1000x by writing tools that empower many devs and users all at once. I think most companies and managers don't know how to manage anomalies like this, and will underpay and overwork them until they're completely ineffective and unproductive.
I have been to many villages in India, where even local streets are narrow, hard to navigate for cars. And people love to occupy a few more feet from the street for personal use (you can see this behavior in cities too, by extending buildings onto streets). Sometimes, these issues lead to fights among neighbors, including deaths. A local daily reported that a family was sending a drain pipe from their washing machine onto the street; and the next door door had been complaining for months, leading to a fight. The end result: the dishwasher's owner's wife was killed by a huge stone hurled at her by the neighbor.
Wow. You got triggered hard by that. My comment was in response to the pearl clutching over the imagined requirement of Lithium mining as a component of a system that generates electricity from wind and solar.

If we take diurnal storage being provided by lithium batteries as a given, then a VRE system producing 1kW >95% of the time using existing commercial technology requires roughly 1kg of lithium in 6-12kWh of batteries which needs to be recycled or replaced every 12-20 years.

A system producing 1kW of electricity from fission 85% of the time using existing commercial technology requires fuel made from 1kg of mined Uranium. The Uranium needs replacing at least every 6 years. You can calculate this easily from burnup (25-60MWd/kg thermal), thermal efficiency (30-38%), and the Uranium required to make a unit of fuel (~8kg per kg of fuel).

Hence the pearl clutching is revealed as disingenuous nonsense and the proposed alternative to the terrors of Lithium mining is revealed to be worse, and why you are triggered.
Yes but CEOs are fired because the boards are judging they are not up to the task or that they don’t share the same idea of how the company should be driven.

Somehow, getting fired is the standard way out for a CEO. They are financially prepared to it (emotionally prepared, I suppose it depends on a per person basis).

It’s really not the same as firing thousands of people because you are badly managing the company. And it’s even worse when hiring then firing thousands of people is just part of your plan : executives are not stupid, they knew their last years growth was circumstantial and that it wouldn’t last.
As far as I can tell, he's not a US citizen. And no guilt seems to be under discussion here. Just whether he's allowed to fly.

Smaller models are a stop-gap solution because they are task-specific and can incorporate expert knowledge. The thrust of ML research over the past decade has been consolidation of effort and huge-scale training to replace expert knowledge (or using expert knowledge as micro tasks to condition the huge-scale training). I bet a dollar to a dime that in several years, that these smaller models will be replaced by foundation models that are fine-tuned and possibly distilled, as the field does the following:

* Build foundation models.

* Discover weaknesses and blind-spots.

* Patch them either using more data or micro-tasks.

* Iterate.
The official x86 NOP is at 90h (and actually originally meant "xchg ax, ax" --- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10437070).

> People aren’t willing to acknowledge the high probability that someone just had a string of bad partners

Nonsense. Choosing a partner is not a random event, like drawing a card from a deck, or spinning a roulette wheel.

The odds are very much against "poor guy/gal had 10 boyfriends/girlfriends in the last 10 years, all of whom turned out to be meth-heads" being a random event.

In relationships, what is true most of the time (the odds on) is that a string of bad relationships for a man/woman has one common factor - that man/woman.

What are you talking about. EVs can afford to have absolutely massive AC and heat for that matter because that big battery is multipurpose. Well big battery in good EVs at least, not in this prototype, but I’m sure they’ll up it if they do a real product.

And also, as you say, they will usually be on power (also because they’ll want to charge up for their next leg, which solar will not be sufficient for) so I’m twice over not seeing a reason for concern here.

If you use a heat pump (aka an air conditioner in heating mode) that 2kW becomes maybe 500W of electrical power.

Running that heater for 24 hours a day would take 12kWh - or about 1/6 of the battery in an electric van.

That seems feasible to me. Sure, it's a bit annoying - you have to charge more often - but you could get through a couple of days off grid.

You need to actively prune your calendar. Regardless of whether or not you want to interview for a job. If you entire working day is filled with meetings, you will not have the time to actually do good work as manager that only you can do. It's probably worth your while to block off 2-3 hours of your work day for individual contributor work (say thinking/working about strategy or product or engineering roadmap.) Just go out to the local coffeeshop. Invite other mangers occasionally to join you. You just use that time to become strategic about your work. When the the time comes to interview, nobody will notice that you've not been around for a few hours. CEOs routinely do this when they have to take sensitive meetings. They are not usually in their offices most of the day.
