I get what you're saying. And what I don't mean is the proverbial domestic violence situation where as soon as the police are involved, somebody is getting arrested no matter what.

But in instances where someone has incontrovertibly made a false report because they wanted to ruin someone's day (or life), that should follow them around. There is a large blurry area between reporting someone because their kid has a black eye every couple months and reporting someone because their kid is better at baseball than yours where you can't prove bad faith, and in that instance it doesn't make sense to ruin anyone's life.
I agree. The real "problem" in this specific case is that the authoritative source (NOAA) seemingly doesn't make the data available in a manner that's discoverable by crawlers.

The currentresults.com page seems.. fine? It has a proper source cited at the bottom of the data. I wish it didn't have display ads, but that's the nature of the web nowadays. That's not a problem solvable by a traditional search engine.
Seems like the analysts think Meta isnt a dirty brand to be avoided at all costs.

Personally, I see an abusive relationship getting worse and worse. The customers run, the business cuts expenses, the customers are now subject to more automation and anti-humanness, Meta enters a deathstruggle for control of VR/AR with Apple and loses. Facebook is already irrelevant, and getting more so by the day.

At least Apple makes their money mostly on hardware and software, not ads. Systemically, this beats Meta every time, in a fair fight.

I want to see the single day drop in Meta stock when Apple unveils its AR/VR platform and hardware.
It dawns on me that I was never taught how to calculate a square root manually during all my schooling. We used them all the time in Algebra II and Calculus, but we were never shown a procedure like with multiplication or long division.

Federal taxes are marginal. You don't pay 37% on the full 500k, you pay 37% on anything below that bracket start point, you pay the lower rates. For instance, if you're single and declare $1M in income your effective tax rate is more like 33.5% and not 37%.
Disagree, the search engine needs to make the judgement on the quality.

As a user doing the search, I can't trust the opinions of the website owners, but I have to trust someone. I want to trust the search provider, particularly because I can easily switch if I choose.
What is your relationship with devdocs.io, if any?

Tried to get my oldest to go here. She reads super fast with high comprehension and loves to debate, but she's so terrified of going into debt that she's now in a state college taking computer science and saying Chat GPT is way more helpful than her professor for understanding or fixing code.
No, and it's a bit frustrating when several people explain in great detail the components of a programming day and how they combine and what the combination tendency is and then someone comes back with the same "but mah productivity". It's also typical for a certain mindset, of course.

Anyway, a counter-example is that the arguments above would not be against some broad framework that reduces both the thinking and the writing needed to construct programs - say a combination of a good programming, a good software engineering framework and a management that forced client requirements into a structured format. That sort of thing can reduce the needed programmer activity in a project on both the low and the high level and none of the arguments above object to this.

There is a whole area called ‘pursuit theory’ about how to guide a missile to a target that produces very interesting curves.
I wonder if that's legal, given that mapmaking is protected expression, and a recent ruling saying that (public) schools can't police protected expression off of school grounds.

Without a clear expression of threat, I don't think simple mapmaking is sufficient grounds for a terror threat charge.
My point, which you missed, is not that you can't ask why, but that you aren't obligated to ask why. Saying that you made a choice (repeatedly) to work hard is enough of an answer to the question of why you had some benefit in your life accrue to you due to your hard work. If you want to ask why you made those choices, you would have to give an answer for each one, but the fact is that you made them.

Free will is no more an illusion than the qualia of red. If what you think is outside your control, then who is the "you" that is not in control? Where is it?
But then some people are selling BTC against tether. And, at some point, want to exchange tether with USD.

So I understand that Tether is shit if it’s true but it has nothing to do with bitcoin.
I haven't looked really closely so maybe I can, but when I've looked in the past, I couldn't start an ubuntu machine on AWS that's a "pro" version, at say 1c/hour ($87/year) or whatever, on top of the x cents an hour I pay amazon for the machine.

Instead I have to raise a separate business case about why I want to pay for support, manage a separate line item in my budget, etc, etc, that's all tedious, so I don't bother.
The real-life reason for this wild spiraling behavior would be that the launch tube isn’t pointed directly at the target and the missile overcorrects. That’s actually how the sidewinder missile got its name.

This kind of mid-flight course change is a characteristic of real missiles in other cases , though:

* almost anytime a submarine or ship launches, the missile goes straight up for a little bit to clear the ship before sharply turning

* if you shoot a guided missile straight up unguided to clear terrain (eg a hill) before turning on guidance you’ll see this

* cruise missiles in the gulf wars famously did this by following the street grid - even turning at street light

* if you launch a torpedo in a random direction then activate guidance later it can disguise where you are, since the torpedo is coming from a different direction
My first job out of college was working for a lab that did stuff for Air Defense. We did stuff like missiles that shot down other missiles for the Navy. Anyway, in my naivety, I asked the more senior engineers why we don't shoot missile plumes. Lots of cheap missiles in the hopes that one hits. (I didn't mention the idea was from watching anime.)

They told me that the backfire from the exhaust of one missile might ignite the one behind it if we did stuff like that. That said, I've seen videos of ships firing missiles in relatively quick succession. Just not like the Itano Circus, however.

Why is this any more a waste of time than anything else if AGI is <100 years off?
On the contrary, three centuries of intellectual discourse with a common thread does lead to a solid definition. Carve outs for incitement and defamation/libel are the very exceptions that prove the expansiveness of the concept.

> The idea that someone would expect to 1) land a job they love while 2) making gobs of money and 3) have it generalizable across an oversaturated market like academia seems to indicate a lack of understanding of the incentive structure within the system.

I think that’s a strawman, even if unintended. The idea is that academia means a pay cut in exchange for a job one loves and more research freedom. The worsening situation of research funding makes the academic track pointless.

Again adding that I mostly mean in STEM, I don’t know the other fields that much.
If you don't agree, can you define what "one party" means and "the media"? I think the only way you can say this is to claim that both parties are the same and/or all the media is the same. Contrary to this claim of sameness is that one party has top leaders supporting clearly untrue views about insurrections, vote totals, etc. Yes, both parties want to increase taxes and spend money and blame the other party for any problems - but one party tried to overturn an election. Similar things for the media, yes they both share some things about "being mainstream" but that's most focused on object reality - OAN is the other media?
I mean, that’s just straight up not the definition of the fallacy, so I guess if you can redefine it to whatever you like, then sure, you’re definitely right.
I’d say that almost all of those scenarios (maybe all -not sure about the hero) lend themselves to the person being in “panic mode.”

eg., “stressed.”

Sort of like the classic “Lucy and the Chocolate Factory” routine[0].

I’d also suggest a management deficit, if those cases are too severe.

Didn't get time to finish replying/sourcing articles, but most climate projections show that the Boston area will see much more nuisance flooding and much more severe Nor'easters, specifically in low lying areas. This is a big reason for Boston's Climate Action Plan being created - as South Boston, the Harbor, and Backbay are all very flooding susceptible. There are some good articles about it in the Globe and on Boston Govt's website, but it's too much of a pain to source through that.
Opportunities of unfathomable scale like this are so intriguing, because the solution is not limited by cost - only by our technological abilities

I have my own fair share of complaints about k8s, but I can't say the author articulates clearly what is wrong with k8s scheduler exactly.

IMO it's one of the better part of k8s. The core scheduler is pretty well written and extensible through scheduling plugins, to implement whatever policies you heart desires (which we extensively make use of at Netflix).

The main issue I have with it is the lack of built-in observability, which makes it non-trivial to A/B test scheduling policies in large scale deployment setups because you want to be able to log the various subscores of your plugins. But it's so extensible through NodeAffinity and PodAffinity plugins that you can even delegate part (or all!) of the scheduling decisions outside of it if you want.

Besides observability, one issue we've had to overcome with k8s scheduling is the inheritance of the Borg design decisions around pod shape immutability, which makes implementing things like oversubscription less easy in a "native" way.
> It was designed as a language for a confident kernel hacker working close to hardware, but ended up as a general-purpose programming language for the entire OS, and it's not the best fit for that role.

C is a classic case where good enough was so good that many tries at perfect couldn't unseat it.

I never felt like C was a bad tool in the 80s and at least early 90s - in many cases it was better than the alternatives which would result in slow software or would impose difficult constraints (Pascal string limits and array semantics vs. C's strings and buffers). I never thought much about C as a "kernel hacking" language because I was writing software for MS-DOS where systems programming was calling bios routines or intercepting interrupts and doing unholy things. I guess I just saw C as better than Pascal, compiled BASIC, COBOL and slow interpeted languages. When I moved to Unix, C just was the low friction way...
Seems somewhat ironic that this is tape?
Correct, it's been blasted several times in the past even here on HN. I'm sure you can find the threads if it interests you.
Of course it would solve nothing. Putting more 0s on the money doesn't change it's value. This is so obvious only an academic could deny it.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. But the make belief fairy "lalala I can't hear you" faction in Congress would be really pissed off if somebody made them understand this obvious truth.

At Planimeter, back when we were "Team Sandbox," we ran into similar issues when attempting to publish Half-Life 2: Sandbox.[1] People can still find the source and game code on our repository listings from when we migrated off Google Code.

Valve Business Development did not give us the go-ahead.

Notably, we were the first usage of LuaJIT in the Source Engine, and we think that later GMod caught up to us. But you couldn't use native Lua modules prior to then. Only with our mod.

Half-Life: Update failed for the same reasons we did, and also our team was in our 20s when we were about ready to publish, too.

I wasn't trying to say that a10s should be used in Ukraine (because they'd be shot down). But a10s are still really useful in many other circumstances, most recently when fighting countries without air superiority. So if the us fights China, it doesn't seem like they'd be that useful because the us might not have air superiority and it won't be a tank war.
You are correct, nothing was taken away. It is a different structure than any other distro where:

A. Packages just get updates.
B. The official repos are entirely supported but smaller.

Ubuntu does the weird split of "It is official but we don't support it". And now that they monetized it you are in a situation where its easy to install something, because they offer it, and then later they hold an update hostage.
They don't hold up in court if that's the case and they get sued out of existence or imprisoned in many cases. This is just a flat out false assumption especially in today's climate.

The city government can remove powers from these officers as well. The legislative branch is responsible for writing laws in a way that don't allow the executive branch (leo's) that much leeway. They are just as at fault for letting this exist. YOU are electing the wrong people to your local government office if officer's are able to function that far outside of the law with no repercussions.

I think you'd have a pretty hard case arguing that police officer's are just getting away with acting outside the law over the past couple years.
> Formats like this sort of reenforce Steve Albini's claim that he only records to tape because he's more certain people will be able to play it back hundreds of years from now

This article seems like a pretty strong argument in the opposite direction: about a tape format which is effectively unreadable without significant heroics (to the extent that a documentary was made about trying to play one of these tapes.)

The format admittedly wasn't exactly successful, and I imagine more common formats would have better luck finding usable hardware. But even then, the tape still degrades.

If I really needed something to last a Very Long Time, I'd print it in highly redundant QR codes on lots of paper, and then also print the specs for QR codes and whatever other encodings were necessary.
Came here to write the same.

But then I'd like to add that despite her brilliant play in The Congress, it would be too wishful to expect that, as a person, she's as deeply aware of implications of depicted techno-medical fascist future as her film character is. Acting is just her daily job, after all.

I can also perfectly imagine some inhumane owners of the film industry indulging in an exquisite psychological torture of making an actress play herself getting digitized in a movie, only to find herself realizing the same scenario in her real life later.

This adds even more eerie recursion to the already outlandishly eerie and recursive Congress. Let's wait and see if they'll actually merge Miramax and Paramount into Miramount one day.

Plenty of people love Xcode, it's likely you're interpreting "different from how my IDE works" as "clearly incorrect". Having spent plenty of time dealing with MSVC, Netbeans, various Borland IDEs, etc over my life Xcode seems perfectly fine, and clearly better than msvc.

Based on what I see from the game industry I would assume no one at Unity is calling Apple in the first place, and I would assume that if being ignored is happening in any direction it's unity ignoring apple.

There's a lot of criticism in this post of CPS (not just in the US), with comments like "they do more harm than good", etc.

As someone who was fostered and ultimately adopted, I want to reject the characterization that CPS is a useless organization - they are typically made up of underpaid people who genuinely care about the welfare of children.

Before dismissing them think about what kind of organization would you create to handle the distressingly common scenario of a drunk/drugged parent doing terrible things to themselves and their children in the middle of the night. CPS shows up in this case and takes care of the children. That is a routine event that doesn't make the news, it probably happened in your city last night. An insane response like TFA describes cannot be defended, but that is not the typical case at all.

The UK has the same bullshit FPTP system as the USA, but they have more successful 3rd parties.
The SNP dominates in Scotland. LibDems were even able to participate in a govt coalition. And both Conservatives and Labour are completely irrelevant in Northern Ireland - which has completely different parties than the rest of the UK.

So what prevents parties similar to the SNP and LibDems to get elected in the USA?

I hope I’ll be out of the game well before I have 25 years of experience honestly.
I am currently writing a blog post about this. Here’s an excerpt:

“Consider, for instance, the simple existence of the term “prompt engineering,” which describes the practice of iteratively fine-tuning the prompts you submit to ChatGPT (or whatever) to get your desired output. Prompt engineering is a matter of some identification of what the model responds to, and a lot of guesswork. It’s a matter of treating the natural language of the prompt into a formal language, almost into a programming language, manipulating symbols which lose their human meaning and intuitive structure like some sort of abstract association game. You’re working with the worst programming language imaginable.”

My angle is that using ChatGPT is like using a English as programming language, and it’s a terrible programming language. The reason “prompt engineering” is so irksome to me is that is supposed to be this new advanced mode of expertise, when in reality it’s just shitty programming.

“The Python/C++/whatever-code isn’t some obstacle that we are trying to overcome. The code is the interface that we designed to be able to program the computer, it’s what we want and need. It’s objective, explicit, unambiguous, (relatively) static, internally consistent, and robust. English has none of these properties—it’s subjective, meaning is often implicit, and ambiguous, and it’s always changing, contradictions appear; its structure does not hold up to analysis.”
Wow. That’s crazy. Hard to tell they’re fakes if it wasn’t disclosed.
Oh ok, that upset you but yelling bullshit in your comments with no objective data to back your statements up is fine? You need to chill. Maybe use your anger vote in someone who doesn't allow your police officers to act this way?
