It just told me a different person too:

"The world record for crossing the English Channel entirely on foot (without the aid of any swimming or flotation devices) is held by Belgian endurance swimmer and long-distance runner, Kevin Swartz. He completed the 35-mile (56 km) journey from England to France in just 13 hours and 54 minutes on August 17, 2019."

chatGPT really is a brilliant compulsive liar.
> It just means that if you can't even promise to not be racist

Can I take a look at this Minimum Credible Commitment to Not Being Racist? Are there standard terms? Are there standard reciprocal commitments? For example, I would want any counter-party to commit to not treating me worse on race-related grounds than anyone else signing the same commitment. (That excludes any kind of rank-system, by the way, apologies if that's obvious to you.)

If liberal US colleges just want to filter for people who aren't so racist that they can't even be professional, then it's clear, to me at least, that there must be some other process that's frustrating their aim and making them expend a lot more resources than they would want to, to achieve a much worse result. In that case ISTM that what would be good for them is for some sort of overriding power to impose a Minimum Credible Commitment standard on them.
From an investor POV are layoffs an indicator that companies management feel they dont have growth prospects? Companies, especially tech companies would rarely admit this openly, e.g. how they typically hold ever growing cash rather than pay dividends.

Logically you would think now would be a great time to hire if you genuinely saw significant grow/product rollouts coming. Especially if a company is making profit and not trying to extend runway, reduce debt, in world where money costs more.
"Free" in the case of the NHS means "Free at the point of delivery",

We know perfectly well that we pay for it through taxes.
I haven't used either AnyDesk or TeamViewer. Looking at the snapshot in the linked article, RustDesk looks like a web page. The window chrome looks like macOS, but the application does not look very Macintosh-y. I personally don't think it looks great, but if it works well enough, maybe that doesn't matter.
I had one of these boxes and found it to be beyond infuriating

I would set up something simple like port-forwarding to a static IP and test that it worked

then I'd come back a few days later to use it and found the router had helpfully changed the IP to another one

and this happened with several different features (IPv6, DHCP, etc)

I replaced it with a much cheaper Mikrotik box and that's worked flawlessly ever since

I would not recommend the Fritzbox to my worst enemy
Linux is the main OS at quite a few 2D and 3D animation studios. (I suspect because the industry started out on SGI machines running Unix.)
I don't really have any skin in this or strong feelings one way or another, so I'll offer one potential reason...

The focus here is on race, but what about culture? In my region of the world, there are many Indian immigrants. For whatever reason, the boys are treated like princes and given a ton of freedom, while the girls are given a lot more responsibility and pressured to succeed academically.

As a result, at the local highschool only about 70% of the Indian males are graduating, while the females have close to 100%, higher than ANY other ethnic group.

In my class, a disproportionate amount of the Indian women I grew up with are now doctors and scientists (this is especially impressive as the area is very rural and low SES).

I'm pretty sure I've seen American research on how much pressure and resources different ethnic groups put towards the academic success of their children. You can quantify this in a bunch of different ways, including making sure homework is done, helping them with it, reading with them, etc.

There were pretty stark difference, with black families dedicating a lot less, and Asian ones dedicating a lot more.

Why does that need to boil down to useless concepts like "laziness" or proto-racist bullshit about genes we barely understand?

Maybe populations should have these things measured, and resources should be poured into helping them correct it. Eg, after school programs dedicated for groups that are lagging behind. Extra time and resources in school to bolster reading time for groups that might not be getting it at home.
A culture free of racism, sexism and prejudice with equal opportunity and fair outcomes for all.

I think that is genuinely the intended endgame that most proponents seek.

Unfortunately they do not grasp that their methods are counterproductive and will probably achieve the opposite.
Counterpoint is that it requires the shift key, is relatively long (compared to, say, src) and shares the “De” prefix with Desktop.

That said, it’s what I use.
I would agree with that? How is someone who grew up poor having inherently less "merit" than someone else then ?
Perhaps tech hype cycles are more about valuations and less about utility. Everyone jumps on the bandwagon with the latest buzzwords, companies buy in. Nobody wants to be left behind. New tooling is demanded. Employees pad their resumes.

There's more to generative models than just the above, but how much of this hype cycle is substantive for end users or developers? You always had a query. Now you'll get answers in a different way.

Skeptical overall.
In many cases, these were people they shouldn’t have hired in the first place. When the herd said “hire 10% more employees!” the same lemmings did as the herd commanded.

It certainly isn’t the fault of those being hired, but it might have given them a chance to find employment somewhere that truly needed their skills and didn’t see them as “headcount”.
Same as the goal of the BLM organization (I am being very specific here referring to the organization, not the movement) to enrich the people that control it via the exploitation of cultural schisms regardless of the cost to others.

The monster though has now escaped its creator and is a threat to meritocracy and what makes America great. If I was an enemy country with patience I would just fund and promote the movement from the shadows and wait for the fall.
> That's bullshit.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Meritocracy: "the notion of a political system in which economic goods and/or political power are vested in individual people based on talent, effort, and achievement, rather than wealth or social class", as per wikipedia.

> If you don't like the distribution of who's at the top, then you can address that elsewhere, such as providing more educational opportunities, or promoting qualities like hard work

Isn't this exactly what I said?
Some things I realised after going through my OpenWRT and later OPNsense phases:

- complexity is fun to play with during the initial setup, but it sucks long term

- VLANs and inter-VLAN firewalling is needlessly complex, brings endless frustration*, and you shouldn't trust the network to do your auth anyway

- letting a vendor to do something is Actually Good

- dashboards are useless, I can't recall ever using them for anything

So I sold most of my networking gear and replaced it with

- Aruba Instant On fanless PoE switch and a bunch of their APs

- a £100 Topton fanless PC box with VyOS on it, powered with a PoE splitter

- a UPS

No VLANs, simple flat network. Everything internal is either on Tailscale or behind auth. Everything is PoE, things that don't are on PoE splitters, so no power bricks and everything is UPSed. Arubas require zero configuration and are managed through a cloud portal. The router needed to be configured once and required zero intervention for close to two years. It's ridiculously performant, perfectly balances load, and just works.

*: I really have better things to do on a party than debugging firewalling an obscure protocol Airplay uses when my guest can't Airplay from their phone
I'm currently using Adobe bridge to cull my old photos and add keywords to them for better searching.

One of the main things in trying to find is a good system of adding keywords and ratings that is tied to the file without any side cars. Is this even possible? Does Photoprism store it's labels in a sidecar or is it editing the exif of the photo?

It would be nice to be able to organize photos in a platform agnostic way.
do people who grew up in these religions and really had no choice but to be indoctrinated in that culture therefore have less "merit" and are less deserving of success?
Does any modern browser think Chuck Norris is a color?
I just had an occasion to go check out the old bit of browser magic where you could enter incorrect color values in css and get a color out of it - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8318911/why-does-html-think-chucknorris-is-a-color for reference. I did not get any effect in either Firefox Developer or Google Chrome. I'm assuming it got fixed a long time ago, but when. Is there any non-legacy browser where that still works?

That is just a case of people trying to use PowerShell as a bash shell combined with the unfortunate decision by whomever at Microsoft to alias PowerShell cmdlets to well known UNIX tools.

It doesn't "silently mangle" binary data - it assumes you're piping PS objects or text streams through. If it is a text stream, then it will pipe through as Unicode by default.

Invoke-WebRequest (curl) pipes out an object, with the content in (object).Content. Using | uses Unicode by default which "mangles" binary output. So it tries to convert the object into a Unicode text stream then into the file.

The correct way to save an image would be to simply set -OutFile (-o) in Invoke-WebRequest.

If you MUST pipe it through, then you need to access the object's .Content, then use Set-Content -AsByteStream (for PS7+) or use Set-Content -Encoding byte (PS5)

PS5> $(Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://www.w3schools.com/html/w3schools.jpg -ContentType 'image/jpg').Content | Set-Content -Encoding byte test.jpg

PS7> $(Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://www.w3schools.com/html/w3schools.jpg -ContentType 'image/jpg').Content | Set-Content -AsByteStream test.jpg

This is useful if you wanted to put the image inside a variable (rather than create a temporary file for the image) and pass it around until you figure out what you want to do with it.

I recently moved from fish to nu. Fish provided the best experience so far. My reasoning for switching to nu is to move closer to a programming language in my shell. Overall, I'm very happy with nu, especially after they added support for direnv.
It's still people like you and me that are losing their jobs.
It's mostly sales, hr, and lower level managers.

Here's the number that I keep tossing around: in June of 2019, Microsoft had about 144k employees. In 2022, they had about 221k employees. They're laying off 10k, which still makes a net gain of almost 70k. It's pure optics for wall street.

I'm not particularly worried but this is why you should always be applying and looking for another gig to have in your back pocket. Or, even better, be overemployed and work multiple gigs at once.

These companies will toss you out like an old shoe, so f*ck 'em.

The average asian family in the US is actually better off than the average white family

Exactly. Why is that? It isn't because they came over to America and enslaved people, or won a war, or placed themselves at the head of a religion that all the white people believed in. They excelled because they worked harder than everyone else. One can argue that the majority white population discriminated against asians less than african-americans or latinos and that's why asian people are more successful than them, but that falls apart once asian people are more successful than the majority ethnic group.
Any program is opt-in, so you just don't have to use it. Mayor bummer. Assuming data collection is properly disclosed, ofc, but i don't see anyone here arguing against that.

The "there shouldn't be any" argument just seems so entitled with there being such demand / reasons to do so. I applaud everyone trying to find ways to satisfy both sides, as done by the original article.

You are right, I'm playing fast and loose with some assumptions and opinions without citations.

I just don't like falling into the other trap of wasting my day to write a complete paper with citations for some loosely defined internet argument on a subject that is already stacked on a pile of controversy and misunderstandings.
I think I could easily find a number of citations that have conflated vocabulary, or re-defined vocabulary. This is my opinion, don't think I need to document a cited cross reference list of these re-defined terms to say this.

Probably this is the same problem that exists between a research paper, and a popular science book. Neither is as detailed and exact or also as high level and understandable as everyone desires. So, yes, these are some opinions, just from a certain point of view, my opinions are more correct than others opinions.
Curious how this will work in practise. The passkey has to be stored somewhere. Logically, that's in 1Password itself, which would mean you can _only_ login if you have access to a device that's already signed in. Or, in iCloud Keychain, which is what the video seems to show, which would shift the trust model to my Apple ID. What happens if I get locked out of that?

And what happens if biometrics are unavailable on my device (like, after first boot)? Does 1Password then fall back to my macOS login password?

Their blog post is unclear on details, but it feels like there are multiple trade-offs to this where some might want to stick to the current Master Password + Secret Key model.
There was a pretty good article about why layoffs don’t work here a few days ago too. Backed by studies and such.

7% actually really is 0.07 though (or around 1/14th), the multiplication by 100 is completely arbitrary
so you are atleast agreeing that you think the biggest gang should set the rules and force them upon other people who do no harm to ANYONE, but simply wish to be left alone?
It's cargo cult corporate leadership. My company has less than 200 employees, so our layoffs weren't newsworthy, but the c-suite decide to cut 5% last week citing "trends in the industry." I can't speak for other departments but our engineering team definitely _is not_ bloated yet they still axed two positions from teams working on the highest priority projects in the company. Absurd.
Deliveroo to cut 9% of its workforce
My parents stayed in Mexico after their Medicare and SS kicked in.

Once you've been down there for 5-10 years, why would you come back? There are huge communities of retired expats in Mexico. We're talking 5-10k expats all visiting the same grocery stores, churches, etc.

My parent's best friends down there grew up in the same era they did, often in the same regions of the US. I don't know what my parents would come back to the US for?
I started looking this week. Getting called back at least but haven't even started the leetcode boogey portion of the evening yet so no idea how actively they're actually hiring.
I am in no way trying to judge here. My question was simply who would have had to pay for his care if he did not go for MAID.
This is a pretty uncharitable read of it. Assume good intentions and think about it from the grandparent's point of view:

"I saved my whole life, and wanted to make sure I could give a little back to my loving family, but instead the healthcare industry soaked it all up during my final months."

In civilized countries, somebody else would pay for it. Not through magical fairies, but through taxpayer-funded public healthcare. Instead, in the USA, we're Rugged Individuals™ so we prefer to have a gigantic profitable End Of Life Industry precisely designed to sponge up whatever remains of an elderly person's savings. If you have $500K in assets left, your end of life care will cost $500K. If you have $100K left, your care will cost $100K. If you have $10K left, it will cost $10K.

The solution, in our flawed system, is to do smart estate planning so you die with zero assets. I don't need my parents' money when they go, and I've already told them if they want to help out my sibling or give it to charity, either do it before they die or get it in a structure that can't be confiscated by death profiteers. Either way, have $0 to your name when you finally pass away. Don't give these vultures another gold-lined toilet for their executive suite.

I tried SvelteKit and while I like that it's easy to start with, the syntax for conditionals is not my favorite and it's also hard to find support for it. I think it's a little bit easier to get things done in Next.js than SvelteKit, even when you're building the exact same thing. I can't really comment on the rest though, I only played with it for an hour or so.

In case anyone is curious about cell cultured seafood as well, here's a paste from a reply I made elsewhere:

I like to look at GFI's yearly state of alternative seafood reports [1] to get a sense of the landscape. New harvest has a good list of research they have funded which gets into the weeds a bit [2], check this one for example [3]. We wrote some pros and cons in my recent article that may be interesting [4].

This is a list of some players: Finless Foods, BlueNalu, Wildtype, Shiok Meats, Bluu Seafood. Most are at the pilot plant stage and have announced reaching market this or next year. Note that the investment landscape have changed dramatically last year, so timelines will likely change.

Finally: I think its going to be exciting to see alternatives coming out soon. For me the pros are definitely welfare and biodiversity related, while the cons are feed and co2 related.

Ask HN: List of companies doing (or not doing) layoffs?
The current round of layoffs is, from my perspective, disgusting, and I would prefer to never work for a company engaging in said behavior.

I was wondering if anyone has been compiling a list of companies that either are or are not participating in the current round of layoffs?
Thanks for saving me the time of reading the rest of your comment.

I would point out that responding to the strongest possible interpretation of someone's argument is also in the HN guidelines.
Short of consumers with no choice but to consume their services and products via monopolies, it’s obvious consumers do control the means of profits, not the companies that provide them. If consumers (or employees) and not companies are empowered to leverage that control is the subject of the thread. Assumption that companies must exist in capitalism is just that, an assumption.
Given the choice between living and dying I believe a vast majority of people choose living.

That being said I think assisted suicide should be an option and everyone should have this option.

Sure, the NHS does provide excellent care, but it's not free.

Correct, but the US has the rather odd status of spending even more per capita in public funds towards healthcare before they even get to the privately funded portion. The NHS has a lot of problems, but at least it's not (outside of dentistry) making us pay both ways at once.
I mean, it makes sense. The issue here is knowing when you have to do it. This news will get under the rug right away because people are paying attention to more "important" news like chatGPT, the state or the union, other companies laying off people, etc...
