Employers quite clearly already think that way.

I'm well aware that they are not the same, but I tried both FreeBSD and OpenBSD, and for simplicity I consolidated them in my post. Sorry if that offended you.

The touchpad worked flawlessly out of the box for me (on Manjaro), including two-finger scrolling and tap-to-click. No idea what driver it uses though

All in all, the original post encouraged me to try OpenBSD again soon(ish), who knows, maybe it works better these days...
Rule of thumb: If your comment amounts to “I’m not interested in this”, consider not posting it, and just look at something else instead.
the logic decided by the courts may be lawful but it is not moral (in my opinion).

Doubly so when you consider that the patent holding company (like Monsanto) has a lot of ability to affect legislation and the (presumably) independent farmer has next to none. The issues here are systemic and not limited to big ag.
That really is not how this works. Issuing shares decreases the share price, rather than increase.

I was thinking the same thing. This doesn't seem like it's a realistic goal, as much as I do really like the idea. 15 minutes of walking isn't really much in terms of feet or meters or however you want to measure it. 15 minutes of biking time, that's better. I guess I live in a "15 Minute Area" if you only count the bike time. Maybe more like 20 if you count the time I end up sitting at intersections?

> To be honest, I think your question is the other side of the conceptual coin here -- either the article is wrong and GPT3 isn't "sentient," or the article is right and we need to radically upend our concept of sentience

We don't really have a mechanistic understanding of sentience, so I'm not sure there's much to overturn. This is why I'm so annoyed every time some "expert" claims that LaMDA or GPT are not sentient or not conscious or what have you. These are all vague concepts that lack mechanistic definitions that would let us make such definitive claims.

That said, consciousness is almost certainly an illusion, and it will be a particular kind of information processing system with certain properties [1]. GPT and other LLMs may or may not qualify, time will tell.

People underestimate how much agriculture is devoted solely to seed crops

Can you explain this further? I never thought about where seeds come from. Are there giant Bayer-owned fields devoted to growing seeds?
GnuPG is a faithful implementation of OpenPGG, a protocol has been heavily scrutinized. It hasn’t had many CVEs (similar number to SSH and OpenVPN). So I trust this software. The command line is easy enough. The newer versions provide AEAD ciphers, and the software is well supported and maintained.

There is some complexity in the man page with many flags, the documentation and the OpenPGP packet format. The KDF is not modern, and old ciphers are still supported. Other than than that, it’s fine.
Going on this "Brute Force" discussion... the CRC Zoo is computing the minimal hamming distances of various CRCs.

Agreed that top-down programs aren't always very effective (although sometimes they can be), but would point out that "coordinated" doesn't imply top-down. It could just mean that lots of individual entities are working with each other to achieve a common goal.

For those unaware, Yahoo Japan is a separate company, with a somewhat parallel history.

It was a joint venture owned 50% by SoftBank. It went public as a separate company, and in 2018 took back all its ownership from the former Yahoo. In 2021, it merged with Line (also owned by SoftBank,) and bought the Japanese Trademark to Yahoo.

Sure, that's the most straightforward way to approach these things, but doesn't this mean your elements don't have persistent identity between two renders? Tracking elements between renders is what allows animations and other nice things. So it's not exactly the same.
There is also the aspect of upvoting/downvoting that completely skews honest opinion.

Instead of acting like a bullshit filter, upvote/downvote tends to act like a dog getting petted for echoing back a popular opinion to the group or the dog being scolded for echoing an unpopular opinion. Dogs like to get pats on the head and don't like being yelled at.

It is really one of the dumbest ideas of the last 30 years. Total disregard for human behavior and total disregard for the truth considering how often the truth is an unpopular opinion at a specific moment in time.

Throwaway accounts to me are a small protest to this ridiculous system.
I agree generally about zoning laws. But I also think they do a good job of keeping joe schmo from trying to turn a random plot into a car repair business that is just not suited to the job. Rando business guy doesn't care if the area is suited for it and neither do their customers.

haha yes it is and still very funny.
ATCs are high stress jobs where screw-ups can and will kill people. They cap the number of hours they can work per day, have mandatory breaks, and mandatory rest periods. Qualification to work in the field is hard -- and pay is often pretty good for that reason.

> To anyone that wants this functionality best-effort safely today: Get a Yubikey 5 or Nitrokey 3, put an ECC PGP keychain on it, enable touch requirements for all slots, export your keys on keyoxide, then set it up with git, ssh, pass, your email client of choice, etc.

But SSH now supports U2F for any FIDO or FIDO2 security key AFAICT (no need to specifically a Yubikey 5 or Nitrokey 3): it's unrelated to GPG.

Isn't it better to directly use this new SSH functionality inside of using the more complicated GnuPG+SSH thing? (I'm asking: I've got no clue how the later works).

Any thoughts/explanation on this is most welcome.

But they were selling the same thing, just because more people buy laptops doesn't mean you have to hire more hardware engineers. The design is the same, you scale your outsourced manufacturing instead. With e-commerce you absolutely need more engineers to maintain the software and you need to buy more servers and hire more sysadmins etc.

I've actually noticed how _bad_ the writing of some articles can be. I'm not a good writer by any means... but the best I can say is it sounds like an essay cranked out by someone in high school.

Just reminded me of my first "wtf." A journalist for our local university wrote a review for the movie "Hustlers" where they justified sexually assaulting and robbing men in New York because "men in New York were responsible for the 2008 financial crisis." All without missing a beat. Can't believe what passes these days.
I despise XML, not because it was a bad idea, but because of all the bad ways I've seen people use it.

For example, I used to work at an ed-tech company that bought bubble test questions from Pearson, who provided their data in HUGE XML documents. If I remember correctly, they would do things like splitting the sentences of the test questions up so half the question was a tag attribute and the other half was an element. So, instead of just parsing questions, we'd have to parse them and then stitch them back together to make complete sentences. They did that with the answers too, I believe. So weird.

The JSON format makes it harder to abuse data like my example above and it is a lot easier to parse, so I'd reach for it before XML any day.
My guess is that most USA urban neighborhoods in, say, 1960 (or 1930), met the 15 minute criteria.

Still, I'd guess you'd be right that it would be enormously expensive and difficult to bring this back.

But it was once this way, and it was human decisions that made it not this way. If we want it to be this way again and start, it can be eventually.
Sure, but you can get a whole home.humidifier for like $300 to mitigate that issue.

Nope, we're still on Raspberry Pi. It's difficult to move to other hardware because it would mean managing a lot more of the OS stack ourselves, and then we'd still have thousands of users still on Raspberry Pi.

I'd like to move to the Pi CM4 because we'd reduce costs and get a lot more control over the hardware, but it's a big up front cost to start over from scratch on a new board.
That's not exactly what they bet, because anyone knows that it would be dumb, including them.

What you have to look at is e-commerce adoption as a % of retail. This % is increasing every year since the end of the 90s. It was about 10% pre-pandemic.

Of course they knew that the huge jump from COVID wouldn't be permanent. What they bet however is that once things re-open, SOME of that conversion to e-commerce would be permanent and that trend of % of retail on ecom would keep increasing at a faster pace than if COVID had not happened. Which wasn't the worse bet to take, you'd think that if people get used to a certain way of shopping and we invest in all this ecom infrastructure, some people would prefer the convenience of it in the long term.

Tobi explained it well in his announcement for layoffs last year at Shopify (which came much earlier than other tech companies, likely because their revenue is much more strongly related to ecom revenue)

Correct, although if the content origin is on one continent and the consumers on the other continent, then you do need to shift at least a replica of that content across the ocean (then use a local CDN for national/regional delivery).

Google has issues with having a large amount of content that is watched at all ends of the Earth, so they do need significant global transit to handle the fact that someone in India is possibly watching something from Indiana. Seeding the CDNs creates significant overhead and if the content happens to have a relatively low popularity, transactional overheads mean that the RTT of the requests creates artificial overhead (RTT effectively starts to look like wasted bandwidth).

> Other companies were willing to hire lots of developers because the ROI on devs was good compared to low inflation and low interest rates

Was the ROI good though? Did any of these companies seem to deliver new products or features faster? Do their financials suggest that these devs somehow improved operational efficiency (e.g. improved gross margins)?

Or was it just that they hired because they could afford to?
Having schools distributed within walking distance should be done by city planners ahead of time.
I am in NY. And I think for Florida, a heat pump makes because of a hybrid AC model. Even if electricity is more expensive, the equipment and energy cost of a separate unit is not worth spending.

In extreme climates, gas burning is cheaper. And quite clean. There are some objections because of delivery leaks, but that is a separate concern.

I can open an issue but there isn't anything more than 'doesn't work' I can add. If you can describe some way for me to get information that's useful to debug, I can write that up.

So this is one of my big concerns - I live in a cold weather country currently. We have power outages once every couple of years. If I don't have back up power my pipes freeze and then i'm out probably > $50k.

I was thinking the solution for me is to put in a heat pump and then run a backup gas generator. But that solution feels like a significant amount of overbuild. I have 3 minisplits already but they aren't valuable in the winter -- where you install your AC units isn't where you would install your heating units .. I.e. the top of my house for AC, the bottom of the house for heat.

Having multiple energy sources to defray risk is helpful.

For me, it's not a question of whether the cost is "worth it", but that the cost seems very very high for what seems to have been produced.
My experience is in cloud and I can give some insight on what we were thinking at this time. In cloud, infrastructure is key and our theory was that we needed to beat the other companies in terms of scale and capability. So we were aggressively trying to scale to get ahead of the competition. The environment was highly competitive all the way down to even the PCBA manufacturers. As an example, at one company, to get their "A teams" you need to be their top customer in terms of volume.

So while it looks odd by comparison, cloud providers were in a bit of a different environment than Apple.
Ming-Chi Kuo has a pretty solid track record when it comes to hardware and this really bothers me. I was/am an apologist for the long run of lightning (where long = almost exactly what they predicted, 10 years) but if we go to USB-C and keep the USB 2.0 speeds I'll be pretty angry (even if the Pro phones aren't limited which are the ones I always buy).

The sad this is I completely believe Apple will do this since they did the same thing with the 10th-generation iPad . I love my Apple hardware but I can't help feel like Apple has lost it's way on cost-cutting measures like this as well as it's software quality. I still believe they are the best available but that could change if they continue on their current course.
There are many reasons why you can't just circulate cold water though a radiator to cool. As another commenter stated you will get large amounts of condensation. But the other reason is that you do not get nearly as effective of convection currents with cool versus heating. Your radiators utilize convection currents to circulate the warm air around the room. Running chilled water though the a radiator would be like having an ice cube in the corner of the room. It isn't going to cool the whole room down and will get water everywhere.
Also, there are plenty of package system that uses coreutils for their build instructions. Just build the whole thing with coreutils aliased to the rust implementation and check for errors.
I think it is plausible to work towards, much of it. Some of it is fairly low hanging fruit. If you get several of the check boxes but not a coffee shop, high school, restaurant .... that's pretty good, you got a lot of bases covered.
Ok! I am genuinely interested in how heat pumps are more efficient. My online search led me to calling heat pumps more efficient when compared to electric heaters. And better in other ways compared to gas burners. But lord's sake, they were all upselling marketing sites for heat pumps.

I am looking for genuine research, and not from paid mouth pieces.

Majority of the comments here seem like agents of heat pump industry. And HN rules forbid me from calling them that.
When Google announced 12,000 layoffs, for anyone reading past the headline this came on the back of hiring 41,000 people over the last two years. 41,000 is about 1/2 the total employees of Salesforce as of October 2022.

> returned from ag use for ecological restoration.

We don’t really do that. If anything, the opposite now that the land yields more value.

Largely we just use the excess to feed animals (ie: 90% energy loss) or ethanol/biodiesel (ie: using land as a 2-3% efficient solar panel, along with lots of inputs).

Something like 75% of US corn goes into the above 2.
