Yes, you're right. The correct term is (micro)serfs. They were serfs. The lord of the manor turned them off, to live in the less productive wasteland.
Curious, in what cases might this help? The compute would have to be python-bound (not C library-bound); and the frequency of module lookups would have to be in the ballpark of other dictionary lookups. I wonder if cases like this exist in the real world.

Actual Thunderbird users don't care about the UI. That made up quote probably applies to someone that just gave Thunderbird a try though and left disappointed.
It's just so amazingly frustrating to have these discussions where people get so close to understanding and then willfully turn away.

I mean, try this yourself! Pull up to a stop light, close your eyes, and recite the distances to and orientations of the nearest five or six vehicles. Now read it off the screen. Think you'll beat the car? Really? In fact, no, it's quite clear that the car, with 360 degrees of camera coverage at 30 Hz and no fovea or neck scanning required, has a vastly better picture of its surroundings than the driver. It's not even close.

But yeah, the esimates aren't precise and yeah, they do jump around[1]. You're absolutely correct about the way the modelling works. You're just disastrously wrong about the way that the competing systems perform.

[1] I will grant that there's probably a human factors issue here. In fact the human driver really can't do much to process that display and it's probably best that details like just be left out or filtered down to a minimal subset.
Fantasy sports and internet+cell phone infrastructure in Japan.
As I'm in Nicaragua, the power quality isn't always the best here, plus I wanted a decent server where I could run basically any software I wanted to on.

It's not a huge trade-off for me running it remotely.

I primarily connect to it over SSH, but often use NoMachine if I want to interact w/ the UI.
One of the best answers IMHO.
Should be the top spot.

Thanks for your input.
You haven't used it with imap and lots of mail then. I get 100…500 emails daily and tb freezes for 15…60 seconds at a time. My inbox is kept in order by a bunch of filters, but the thing still freezes if I have lots of e-mails in another mailbox.

The mailboxes are very inefficient, being regular mboxes with an index. I'd rather have the e-mails in a sqlite database. A Maildir on disk is a waste of inodes and a liability when one does a search or archives the thing. Old mail is rarely touched and sqlite has a full text search function.

The interface is okay. Quirky, dated but okay. I just need a snooze option like Gmail's but one that doesn't hide the e-mail. Now I have to convert the e-mail to a task and add an alarm to the task which requires a lot of clicks and setting options that are unergonomic.

> PageRank worked well at first by defining quality by the number of backlinks, or sites that linked to it.

Yes. It was measuring popularity. It was genius because it solved the problem usefully well, but page rankings have never been a fantastic indication of quality -- again, depending on what you consider "quality". It was just better than nothing.
I really doubt this. Unless I'm working pretty directly with someone (that is, on the same specific project), it's hard for me to know how much they're really contributing. On my team of 8, I really only know how hard 2 or 3 of my teammates work.

I have doubts that a manager would be able to do this that much better.
> A good rule of thumb is that if your phone has a headphone jack, it also has FM radio

Another good rule of thumb, if your device was intended to be sold in the US, then the carrier had the radio disabled for anti-consumer reasons.
On average a new car buyers keeps their car 8.4 years, while cars are lasting 25 years. Thus new car buyers are literally quite different than the average American.

Anyway, that’s an unexpected 500$ expense. My point was people financing a 50+k new car could fairly easily buy a 17,600 car out of pocket by waiting a little longer before purchase. Large scale changes in purchasing habits would have significant knock on effects for the used car market, but that’s another story.
Yahoo Japan was paying fees to Yahoo US for use of the brand name, but they bought the rights outright recently I think.
It really shows that recruiters do next to nothing. It was a cushy job that was easy in the tech boom when everyone was being hired for anything. Now that more filtering needs to happen, the process breaks down.

As it stands today, a "warm" candidate is brought into the system by someone else. Recruiters just give them information, match them with the processors (interviewers), and tell the candidate results. MAYBE, some advocacy. MAYBE.

Then they ignore "cold" candidates.

Recruiters are really the bottleneck here, imo.
Are you arguing that low-skill workers should then choose to form a union?
It must be deals to be the default page and Yahoo still seems to be the preferred end point for search redirect malware:

That sort of bloat is definitely a problem, but you're delusional if you think that's the only thing.

The problem is that the other forms of bloat are largely unavoidable for big companies. They can be mitigated, but you can't just get rid of them.
What the hell is Yahoo doing with the other 6400 people?
I honestly believe that large instances (thousands of users) are terrible for the fediverse (due to moderation, security, cost, and fracturing due to domain blocks) and that more people / small groups should be running their own instances.

Was wondering what HN thinks about this solution, and if you run your own instance of an activity pub / fediverse server that isn't mastodon which are you using? I've been trying to find something that is easy and clean for a single user instance that could run on a raspberry pi or other tiny low powered setup.
I guess perhaps what I'm not quite understanding is why wash sales are disallowed in the first place - because, again, if you lower the cost basis, you will be liable for the difference in the future, so why does it make a net difference?
I recall hearing something about selective targeting with CRISPR gene editing packages to target latent cells containing the viral sequence. This might be it:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-40222-4

> (2016) Kaushik et al. "Magnetically guided non-invasive CRISPR-Cas9/gRNA delivery across blood-brain barrier to eradicate latent HIV-1 infection"

> "In this research, for the first time, we demonstrated magnetically guided non-invasive delivery of a nano-formulation (NF), composed of Cas9/gRNA bound with magneto-electric nanoparticles (MENPs), across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to inhibit latent HIV-1 infection in microglial (hμglia)/HIV (HC69) cells. An optimized ac-magnetic field of 60 Oe was applied on NF to release Cas9/gRNA from MENPs surface and to facilitate NF cell uptake resulting in intracellular release and inhibition of HIV."

Seems promising, I suppose complete clearance might still be difficult.
Damn. But even though it's filmed, there's still post filming work that would need to be done. Wonder why they would scrap it though?
Steven Vaughan-Nichols, a senior contributing editor at ZDNet, has been advocating desktop Linux for ages.
If you have a Mac probably the easiest way to see it is to connect the iPad to the Mac via USB and then use a third party app. I use this one, Coconut Battery [1].

The battery health is also included occasionally in the analytics the iPad sends to Apple if you have sending analytics. In Settings go to Privacy & Security/Analytics and Improvements/Analytics Data.

That takes you to a list of various recent analytics files that have been sent to Apple. If battery health was included it will be in one of the files "log-aggregated" files (iPadOS < 16) or "Analytics" files (iPadOS 16).

Battery health isn't always included in the analytics uploads so you might not have it in any of the files. Then you just have to keep checking as new files appear.

Here's a video I found talking about this [2]. The author of the video has written a shortcut [3] that shows up in the shar sheet. When viewing an analytics file you can share it with that shortcut and the shortcut will try to find battery information in that file and display it.

I just gave it a try but my logs don't currently have health information so I don't know how well it actually works for that. It did get cycle count from my logs and that matches what Coconut Battery shows.

If he's eating $100 million in losses in one investment and gaining $100 million in another, he's not any richer at the end of the year. I'm not sure what the outrage is.

But like you say you can only deduct $3000 of capital losses per year. Completely and entirely immaterial to a billionaire like Ballmer, but very valuable to someone in the middle class or lower.
Cool, I have a Macbook as well and really like it. I'd love a maxxed out m2 but it will be a while before I need to upgrade.

Developers who don't understand prompt injection will continue to make nasty mistakes like that.

You’re missing the point. This is about what Biden meant when he said Nordstream 2 could be ended. Whether the Germans would have been onboard or not isn’t particularly relevant.

I had been assuming that the working theory amongst the “America definitely blowed up the pipeline” crowd was that this would have been a scheme cooked up amongst the NATO allies. Because, the alternative, that America did that against the will of Germany is just utter insanity. The idea that they would risk turning the entirety of Europe against them with such an act of brazen hostility is just…I can’t even.

Edit: I thought that limit is just for your ordinary income but there seems to be disagreement on this?
It’s easy to forget that tech is only about 15%-ish of the Bay Area job market.
It really doesn’t, for me.

Violence usually implies direct physical force. I find this to be a core aspect of the word.

It’s punitive action, sure, but it isn’t violence because *nobody got hit/shoved/shot/etc. I don’t think any unfair, bad, or evil thing that indirectly affects another persons bodily health is violence. You’d start seeing violence everywhere, it seems.

Bit of a stagnant, but is a tax increase violence because it affects an individuals ability to afford medicine?

Just writing this comment makes me realize the main issue I have with this sort of reasoning is that it distracts from what’s actually happening. It’s playing games with semantics for pizazz, as opposed to critiquing with clarity.
A great question would be, "Why do big tech companies need so many people?"

I've been on projects where if you cut half the people, and kept the right half, you'd be twice as productive. I know this is easy to say, (e.g., "Why can't Holywood make good movies?") but there's truth to it at times.
I read that people who are extremely sensitive to RF have moved here and have claimed to experience some relief.

Proliferation of feature flags, especially old ones, leads to combinatorial explosion of behaviors.
I feel the same. If there's anything I wish I had done more, it probably would have been getting the 64GB version of the Studio instead of the 32GB.

I run a lot of VMs on it, including a Mac VM that is used to run some GitHub Actions on as a build target for some WebRTC stuff.

But even if the memory pressure gets high along w/ CPU usage doing some video encoding, the system stays as responsive as ever.
I have been using maildir storage for a few years now, on 4 instances of Thunderbird, each with 10-50GB worth of messages per folder, on both NTFS and ext4. So far not a single case of lost message or usability issues. All operations are instant and don't block UI.
> Assuming you could, wouldn't the immune system lose that fight? It specifically attacks the immune system after all. deliberately increasing HIV viral load would probably be on the same level of danger as nuking someone's bone-marrow to prepare for a bone-marrow transplant.

HIV kills in the long term. The human body fights very well against HIV, it just exhausts its resources.

One massive "outbreak" (I have no idea what that would look like), would be essentially laying out all of the HIV to the immune system saying "Here. Now do something about all of this."

> HIV is also a retrovirus which means it embeds its genetic code into host cell DNA. It can't be cured simply by getting rid of all present viruses.

T-Cells remove infected cells. That would be the mechanism of removal from the body.
OK. Assuming you are acting in good faith as well.

The two previous zoonotic coronavirus outbreaks, SARS and MERS, had case fatality rates of nearly 10% and over 30% respectively. Before we had reliable clinical data to the contrary, it was reasonable to respond to the very real possibility that COVID had, or very quickly would develop similar lethality.

This risk led to a collaborative effort to sequence the COVID-19 virus and to develop vaccines as quickly as possible. In conjunction with this, there are very large studies evaluating existing drugs using in silico and in vitro efforts to try to find functional bindings. Subsequent to plausible candidates being identified, case studies and then RCTs were conducted on an expedited basis to further qualify candidates.

The result was multiple vaccines that had very high efficacy (the mRNA and a few adenovirus based ones) and several vaccines that exhibited much lower efficacy.

In parallel with this constructive work, there were quite a few charlatans who misconstrued limited clinical evidence or who simply started rumors based on nothing. From this we got people touting inaction, bleach inhalation, hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin and other bogus treatments with no effect on the disease and variable levels of lethality of the treatment.

Your turn now. You said that promising avenues were willfully ignored. Provide some examples.
Thank you for that, I'll give it a go today!
This is a really good point. No doubt, they took a relatively small operation in the crowded hosting market and made it a household name. How it became a household name wasn't just over the top marketing, though... it involved scandal and negative press. I do handle design and marketing for one regional corporate client (a holdover from my design days)... and even though I'm not afraid of pushing edgy campaigns, I'd personally be pretty gun-shy about employing the sort of scorched earth stuff GoDaddy did. I'd also just be concerned about the sanity of my client.
I know plenty of middle-class people using this technique as well, it's commonly called "tax loss harvesting".

Close the "loophole" (not a loophole, it's just following the law as written) and it'll impact way more than just the wealthy.

Bad analogy. The engineers are the four wheels, the execs are car paint.

You remove the car paint, the car looks ugly. You remove the four wheels... you can't even call the thing a car anymore.
I would need to be convinced Id.me is not wholesale fraud. If it can’t look at a passport picture and look at me, (which is the entire thing it’s supposed to do) then there is just nothing there. I think it’s Theranos level. Maybe sometimes they farm out the facial recognition to another company, maybe sometimes they just make it up, but usually just go to a real person who does the check manually.
It doesn't sound like it to me. There's a reason why more responsibly run companies don't blow money on crap like this.

There were similar stories during the dot com bubble, companies and people with more money than sense wasting it. Going on hiring sprees, building opulent abominations of offices, buying toys they don't use, overpaying for celebrity/rockstar employees.

Might be easier to bush off as no big deal when profit (or VC money) keeps pouring in, then when the wind changes you end up closing all your offices and laying off thousands of people.

Ignoring the philosophical discussion, one thing that ChatGPT lacks is the fact that I absolutely have to be able to independently verify the results in the context of my intended application, whereas with my favorite YouTube cooking channel I can trust that it's good enough and move on with my day. There's no grounding in reality.

Addressing the philosophy a little, it's pretty damning when the AI fails at extremely basic logical tasks. If even logical primitives are broken, how could it possibly prove to itself, much less to us, that its more complicated ideas are true? That still sidesteps what it means to "know" something, but I think it's a meaningful prerequisite.
If we want to flex gray hairs, the idea that an application should put it's configuration files in dotfiles cluttering the home directory is regarded as a mistake by the people who are responsible for it.

https://web.archive.org/web/20180827160401/https://plus.goog...

Obviously, we are now stuck with dotfiles as a "feature", but that doesn't mean we need to have more of them than necessary. Cluttering the home folder with a disorganized mess of files with different modalities next to eachother is ridiculous, pointless, and a collective waste of time.

Almost all of the apps people are complaining about not following XDG were created long after the XDG base directory specification existed. It's time to move on.

P.S.: it'd be preferable also if it wasn't simply implied that everyone who's been around Linux/UNIX for a couple decades hates change. Churn for the sake of churn is bad, but churn is not all wasted. Standardizing once-disorganized directory hierarchy is certainly not a waste of time.
The "assuming it could be done" in my comment referred to "finding a way to force latent cells to release their viral load rather than remaining latent". I'm not an immunologist, but if there was a mechanism, it would probably kill the rewritten cells. Then the released viruses would be eliminated with anti-retrovirals.

If this same mechanism kept infected cells from remaining latent, eventually you would clear the virus.

So I don't know the answer to your question, but my answer was assuming an answer existed :)
What kind of impact? Yahoo unfortunately has a lot of impact from their news service. It is crap news IMO but a lot of people are into clickbait.

The whole point of wash sales is that he's not eating $100M in losses. He's moving money between two nearly-identical stocks, which happens to look like a loss on paper at the moment that the deal occurs.

And for somebody to whom $3k is a significant amount of money, fucking around on the stock market to engineer a $3k on-paper loss is quite out of reach.
Because they never realize capital gains. Instead they take a loan and use the stock as collateral to get
liquidity . They never pay back that loan, but just pay interest, which again lowers their taxable income.
Absolutely the masses can use it.

Last year was a great time to do it. SP500 was down, but many tech stocks weren't (yet).

Sell your Vanguard ETF, use the loss to offset the tech stock you sold with huge gains. Buy back another ETF that is highly correlated with the SP500.

Net capital gains = $0 and you still hold the same SP500 position as before.

Yes, there's a solution, it's called one's social security number.

Lightning was what Apple standardized on when the world was still using dock connectors with completely incompatible pinouts and wire protocols. The fact that Apple pushed a usb compatible wire protocol (instead of, say, firewire?) in the first place is the opposite of user-hostile.

If Apple had changed its connector in any way in the last decade, people would have similarly complained that they are changing in order to sell more chargers and cables. Neither one of these arguments is very compelling to me but seems to keep coming up.
