> object is more constrained because there are fewer properties which all members of the set are guaranteed to have.

In my mind it's the opposite: object is less constrained, because there are fewer requirements you need to fulfill to be considered an object. Object type is very permissive.

The more constrained type is, the fewer objects it's set will contain. The more constrained the type is, the more rules it enforces. Seems intuitive, isn't it?
First thing I did when I moved into my rental was disconnect the Wifi from the stove and refrigerator.

1) I don't want wifi on these things. I don't care what they can do for me.

2) I discovered they pump RF that was literally off my meter, making my kitchen an RF kill zone experiment.

Now, turning this wifi off was the difficult part. There is no method given in the manuals and even dedicated searching of forums couldn't turn up a magic maintenance code to turn them off.

I ended up using my RF meter to hone in on where the signals were coming from in the appliance, opening the back, or in the case of the fridge the top, finding the wifi chip and pulling it.

I've also heard it said that wifi access is desired so system operators can manipulate the appliances as needed. Under any condition: DO NOT WANT.
> Yerba mate isn't likely to pose a risk for healthy adults who occasionally drink it. However, some studies indicate that people who drink large amounts of yerba mate over long periods may be at increased risk of some types of cancer, such as cancer of the mouth, throat and lungs. Drinking very hot yerba mate — 149 F (65 C) or hotter — is associated with a higher risk of cancer than is drinking yerba mate at cooler temperatures.

> One possible explanation is that yerba mate contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are known to cause cancer. Tobacco smoke and grilled meat also contain PAHs. More investigation needs to be done into the safety and side effects of yerba mate.

I got to take a tour of SWRI when I was younger, and they have one of these chicken guns in one of their testing facilities. They also have a locker full of machine guns for testing bullet resistance of vehicles etc.
PRISM wasn't even that. It was an ingestion pipeline for data that was collected by the FBI (which is shown right there on the slide, already having the systems integrations with the providers to collect this data for warranted wiretaps on specific Americans) via Section 702 orders for the data of specific accounts known to belong to non-US citizens living outside the US suspected of being of national security interest. Snowden thought it allowed the NSA to read anybody's email, which of course is nonsense. He insisted that Gellman print those slides immediately, thinking he had discovered something obviously illegal, but Gellman wanted to verify his understanding first (https://www.washingtonpost.com/magazine/2020/05/11/2013-edwa...), causing Snowden to panic and bring in the undereducated Greenwald, who is prone to believe any conspiracy. In the meantime, his location had been discovered, so he shared information with the Chinese government about which Chinese networks had been compromised and when in a failed attempt to get asylum in Hong Kong (https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/article/1266777/exclusiv...).

This peabrain now finds himself stuck in Russia because he couldn't understand basic concepts spelled out in the documents he had access to (and had failed a test on those concepts not very long before, so the fact that he didn't understand them wasn't news to him). Now he's here again telling us about the future of money without understanding how any of it works.

How do you know what questions to ask if you haven't read the book
Note that drip pricing for restaurants (e.g. 10-20% non-tip surcharge) is illegal in many jurisdictions (if not "conspicuously advertised" before eating), but some restaurants try to do it anyways (claiming the policy is "conspicuously advertised" on the last page of the menu, or a tiny sign behind the bar).

Sometimes you can just refuse to pay it and they'll back down because they want a repeat customer more. Sometimes they'll insist, but you can still just... not pay it, if you don't plan on going back. It's not like they're going to call the police, and you're paying the main bill.

Unfortunately, it's not infrequent for restaurants to also withhold any unpaid part of the bill from a server's tips. That's usually illegal as well, but most servers would rather keep their job than complain. So you might think you're not paying the restaurant, but then it's the server who suffers.

In other words, literally everything about this sucks.
Restaurant down the street from me also has a 20% surcharge added but they explicitly tell you a tip is not expected. Asking for both is just nuts!

The problem with the hiring process is that there's no one correct way to do it.

What consistently confuses me is why any highly marketable professional would be frustrated about an organization filtering in a way that they disagree with. If you can tell that an organization is not for you in the application form, that's literally the best time to find out. I don't know why anyone would want to go into business with people who they disagree with on how to run a business.
> Now even though it's connected to my local wifi, I can't use the things like having an alarm on my phone since it can't connect to the internet.

NAT is partially to thank for that. ... there is pretty much no normie user supportable way of having a device talk to your phone short of having them both phone home to some cloud server.

They could support both direct connections for easy cases and expert users AND the cloud nonsense-- but then they'd have to implement their connectivity twice and they'll still end up with more support calls from users in the wrong mode.
You should be able to do that with a card as well. They can’t charge your card more than you authorize. (And if they did a call to the CC company will get it all taken care of).
The market value of a solution is not equal to the inputs/resources that it took to create the solution. I doubt they spent anywhere near their company's value creating it.
How could it possibly help unless there were some independent verification mechanism though? If there's a motivation to lie about the content being "organically generated" because that's what search users prefer to find, then clearly people will.
And it's hard to imagine what that verification process would look like given current technology.
I don't understand what you'd want instead. The way I see it, antitrust is the lowest bar in consumer (and business) protection. I'd advocate for more regulation, much more, but that seems unreachable in the current political situation in the US.

I don't necessarily disagree with the "Is Billion dollar valuation justified" thing but I originally replied to GP who said "90% of hacker news readers could build both these products in a weekend or 2".
That's why proponents of "semantic css" (RIP) would have said the correct classes would have been "secondary-image" or "main-image" or "accent-image" or something like that, with the stylesheet deciding if if "secondary-image" should be at the side, alternating, or whatever.

This is what gets me about all the climate change noise: if we truly cared about energy use, then instead of forcing everyone into new electric vehicles and building a completely new network of refueling stations, we should implement the 1978 Gas Guzzler Tax for all vehicles, not just cars:

https://www.epa.gov/fueleconomy/gas-guzzler-tax

So as long as everyone is buying SUVs and humongous, dangerous trucks, I don't really give a shit about climate change, since no one else does. We're going to burn up our home.
Here’s a quick tip: remove the word “bullshit” from your personality and assume that people aren’t morons.

People obviously do do dumb things, and some stuff is obviously crap. But if you change perspectives a lot of stuff actually….makes sense?

Like, looking at the world and seeing a bunch of bullshit is actually a flaw in your own thinking, not the world.

Take fast food for example. Widely derided, clearly poisons the body, not the best taste, produces a lot of waste. More expensive than cooking.

But, flip it around:

* Standard experience —> you know exactly what you’re getting

* Much cheaper than restaurant food

* Much faster than restaurant or home cooked food

* Tasty

* Easy

It’s something with obvious downsides but also obvious upsides.

It isn’t obviously dumb. It is only obviously dumb if you decide the downsides outweigh the upsides and then ignore all the upsides. Which is flawed thinking.

You can repeat this analysis and find that on their own terms most people mostly aren’t doing things that are totally irrational.

Even something like a lottery ticket gives someone hope despite the clear negative EV. You can take that too far, but….

The point is if you think everything is bullshit, your analysis is probably crap. And merely allowing yourself to use the term bullshit rewards this sort of lazy, negative analysis.

Whatever you sell doesn’t have to be the absolute best of all possible things. But it has to meet a need, and the vast bulk of stuff which sells does exactly that.
Contractors have been doing this for decades. Here are two examples of the scam.

The roof of your property needs replacing. You call a few roofers to come by and give an estimate for work. You choose the cheapest roofer, who uses the same materials as the others and has been allegedly in the family-run business for the last 125 years. After the first half of day's work, the shingles of the old roof were removed. The proprietor contacts you and gives you bad news that there are several sections of wood that rotted away and they recommend you not apply new shingle to it as it will never fasten. It will cost additional to replace these parts, naturally, and the cost ranges from hundreds to thousands of dollars. The problem with this situation is that there is always wood paneling that needs replacing. You never just replace shingles without replacing a few wood panels.

The next scenario involves masonry. The limestone steps of your outdoor stairs is cracking and the brick needs re-pointing. You bring in a few contractors to give estimates for the repair work. Once you've contracted work, at the end of the first day you are contacted by the proprietor who informs you that there is nothing but sand holding your stairs up and they cannot work with sand. You have to rebuild the stairs, laying concrete for each step. Only then, can limestone steps be safely installed. It will cost several thousands of dollars more for this work.

Both contractors engage in drip pricing, waiting for you to be along the way with their work, leaving you to decide whether to stop the project, accuse you of breach of contract, and exploit your vulnerabilities for not having a roof or stairs. Both roof and stairs projects required work that the contractors were not forthright about. Both gave a partial price for estimates and wait to have you over a barrel before you pay the full amount.

Where The Red Fern Grows is there; I too was curious to explore it with fiction, and found that one in the list.

I'd be interested in more fiction too.

Hmmm... Lord of The Rings would be very interesting, for having uses more like "non-fiction" too, people interested in finding various "facts" from it's universe. Or how about not just LOTR, but put in all the works of relevant Tolkien: Hobbit, LOTR, Silmarillion, etc, in the same GPT. Wow, people would actually be pretty crazy for that.
I wonder if GPT would be able to make minor long running changes to books. What if X were actually nice to Y.
AI weapons are terrifying. We should probably ban them for use on us soil. But is it ethical to use something elsewhere that’s so terrifying we would never want it used on us? (Any ethicists would answer “no”). Then the question is will someone else build AI weapons? Obviously yes. Then we have to ask is it sensible to avoid building AI weapons if someone else is doing it. Probably not.
It’s a delicate and difficult problem. One we should probably get to work on.

The economic disruption of AI will in some ways be more catastrophic. We should probably get to work on that too. Some interesting solutions have been proposed.

It is strictly true. a<b,c>(d) is only valid JavaScript iff a, b, c, and d are values.
The TypeScript expression a<b,c>(d) where b and c are types is NOT JavaScript, since JavaScript doesn't have type expressions. The statement that every JavaScript program is a valid TypeScript program does not imply the opposite - hence strict superset.

edit: there is indeed an edge case with the parentheses that throws the TypeScript parser off even if only values are involved.
This has always happened, yeah. The real question in my mind is whether most of the pain is behind us, or if this is just the start? The least-bad approach to layoffs is the rip-the-bandaid-off approach, but it seems like it's a lesson that has to be learned the hard way over and over again.

This is the best kept secret that is blantly shown openly in Word.

Styles. You select the text you want to be a certain type (quote, title, header, whatever) and mark it. If you don't find a suitable style, you create a new one.

Then, later, you can change your styles to look however you want, including margin, font, etc.

Using Word you do not have to choose what it should look like while you write it, and unlike LaTeX, (which I love) you can see what it will look like at any given time.

There is a lot more than that.

1. We've learned that relu is a really good function to use for neural networks.

2. We've learned that regularization is essential to having large networks without overfitting.

3. We've learned how to scale models up and down so that you can train something on a giant cluster then run it on your phone.

4. We've learned how to apply this to lots of specific kinds of problems.

etc, etc, etc.

We do NOT simply do what we did in the 80s then throw more hardware at it. Instead we are getting better at making the hardware do something useful.
WineVST lets you use windows audio plugins on linux, which goes a long way towards making Linux a viable DAW platform.
There was the USB official setup later, but you could also find a hard drive of the same model and flash firmware from a 360 drive onto it. So yes, but not just any drive.
I still have one of those hacked WD blues. Always served me very well though I no longer have a 360. It serves out its live now as a 320 gb even though it's a 500 because I couldn't find a working 500 firmware at the time and I couldn't manage to get the original firmware back. But it's ok, I'm mainly doing ssd these days anyway.
Even in Western medicine (at the research stage, at least), that is not necessarily true in patients suffering from certain conditions.

There is some evidence (in the sense of evidence-based medicine) that a low-FODMAP (fermentable *saccharides) diet reduces symptoms in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. [1]

As far as vegetables go, according to one site high-FODMAP vegetables include alliums and artichokes. [2]

It is worth noting that the authors of the linked review paper caution that it is unknown whether a low-FODMAP diet may have long-term adverse effects.

This only works if you have enough cash on hand to cover the main bill or you're able to be really pushy and get them to run only the main bill on the card.
Waitstaff should expect that any surcharge, aside from taxes, will result in a lower tip especially because those surcharges are usually described as tips on the bill. Whether or not they are actually distributed as tips by the manager isn't my problem.
