> Human history is filled with examples of us thinking we are special or at the center of the universe

For as long as science in the modern sense has existed, the scientific consensus was never that we are "at the center of the Universe" (what would that even mean?). This clichéd phrase has always been used primarily by anti-science ideologues to discredit or ridicule a claimed widespread scientific hubris.

And that humans are "special" in the sense of possessing certain qualities that place them in an entirely separate category from all other life on Earth is rather obvious. As a trivial example, humans are the only species from Earth that has traveled to another celestial body, and returned.

Satya Nadella: I want people to know that we made them (Google) dance

I have 100+ games sitting in my library that were either free, or purchased for less than $20.

When you think of all the effort and man-hours that went into making them, and the number of hours of entertainment they'll provide, that pricing is insanely cheap. It's not even that I can't afford to pay more for games - I bought Zelda + Mario Kart at full Nintendo price - but with so many options available for less than $20, does anyone really ever need to?

I've been pricing my own (non-game) software product and I can't see any way to make money unless the sticker price is at least $100, or with cosmetic micro-transactions. I would never in a million years build a game atop MTX, but I'm more open to it for other types of software.

The games industry is just brutal.
I grew up around here. In 1990 a scientist (Dr. Browning) predicted there would be a major earthquake on a certain day and most parents kept their kids home from school. My dad, a geophysicist, said the guy was a quack so I had to goto school. It was practically empty that day.
For what it's worth, thats not accurate - a spectrograph was used in 1995 to discover the first exoplanet by Mayor and Queloz, and they received a Nobel prize for this. So GPT is right. One can be pedantic and say that not an "image" but most would disagree.

I concur this site is very well designed!

Might I make a suggestion? I am completely new to Runescape (as in, this HN post is the first time I’m engaging with it), and I was hopping around your lovely wiki trying to find some kind of intro / “about the game” section with a bit of backstory.

Perhaps I missed it? (I’m on mobile)

Either way, looks like a project of love! Well done ^_^

I am on a fatigue wellness plan but basically I go in each session with % perceived effort goals, estimate what I should do, write it down, do it, tick it off, go home. Works great Muscle gain will be slow but no strength regression has happened and importantly I can stick to this for the long term.

The point is I go every time on schedule knowing I won’t over do it - as per the plan!
I think for this to catch on, they're going to have to make a real business unit out of it. People are accustomed to their money in the bank being managed by humans that they can call. A wallet on one browser on one device isn't going to cut it for the layman.

You should look it up and edit your comment, because it is wrong. A smallish woman walking on a treadmill burns more than 300kcal/hour.
These "you need discipline, not motivation" remarks are as superficial as the cheap motivational ones.

They fail to adress documented disorders, like ADHD. And also the fact that a huge chunk of the population had its dopaminergic system completely hijacked by artificial stimulants, ranging from food, drugs, social media, etc.

They're so superficial that their answer would be: "you can circumvent your dopaminergic mess with discipline."
You're right. I don't know where I got 90 from but the period is 60 days.

Curiously, based on the DOL guide at [1], which to be fair isn't text of the actual law but it is an official government publication meant to explain it, _technically_ it is _not_ acceptable to give 60 days of severance in lieu of notice, but since the penalty for violating the act is a 60 days pay and benefits to all impacted employees, it works out the same either way.

> Can I pay my workers their salary and benefits for 60 days in lieu of notice?
>
> Neither the Act nor the regulations recognize the concept of pay in lieu of notice. WARN requires notice, making no provision for any alternative. Failure to give notice does a significant disservice to workers and under-mines other services that are part of the purpose of the WARN Act. However, since WARN provides that the maximum employer liability for damages, including back pay and benefits, is for the period of violation up to 60 days, providing your employees with full pay and benefits for the 60-day period effectively precludes any relief

That seems in line with what happens though. There's less than a minute, normally around 40 seconds between movements, a take off and landing. To casual observer it seems close of course but it appears the delay from the southwest crew was the issue. Then it's complicated by the lack of visibility from the tower because the controller couldn't detect the delay and issue appropriate commands.

> I miss Delphi where I drop a control on the canvas and it feels like that control as situated in a desktop app...

At the risk of sounding like yet another crusty old man here, I agree 100%. I cut my teeth on Delphi (among other things), and I took it for granted that whipping up an application with a decent looking and highly responsive GUI would always be that easy. (Because, why not?).

I came back to programming after a 20 year hiatus, naively imagining that there would be something like Delphi for the web where you could design your UI visually, hook up some event handlers, and off you go. Couldn't have been more wrong.

On the plus side, there are some things I never imagined being able to do back in those days, like use a good Smalltalk system and have it run blazingly fast on standard hardware.

It's frustrating that some of the greatest ideas of the past (Lisp machines, Smalltalk machines), things that were so far ahead of their time and were unaffordable on the hardware of the day, are now so easily affordable, but hardly anyone knows they existed. Coming back and looking at what's available today, it feels like kludges piled upon kludges.
Seeing other comments fault the Southwest pilot for not starting faster, but it’s not obvious to me that there was any significant delay—a few seconds at most between lining up and starting the roll down the runway. The diagram isn’t to scale, so it’s hard to tell. I wonder how much faster an expedited departure could have been.
I'm not sure re: airplay. I personally use a Firestick 4k Max, which I replaced my more custom Android TV box (w/ Plex) because it has a fast CPU and Wifi 6 and was <$50 (vs $75+ for a decent custom android box and >$100 for Apple TV).

Honestly I'm not even sure which protocol Airflow uses to connect with my Firestick + TV, I use an app (AirReceiver) which says "AirPlay, Chromecast, and DLNA" and it works every time so I don't really care :)
I'd love something like that too, but google glass wasn't designed for you or your needs. It was designed to plaster ads over everything you see while continuously collecting data on everything you point your face at. That's the problem with technology today. However useful it could be for you, it isn't really created for your benefit. Instead every new technology today is used against you, even when it does allow you to do something you want with it.

Self driving cars will track everywhere you go and when and ultimately decide where you'll be allowed to go and when, augmented reality will make it so you can't see anything without an ad playing, robots in your home will record you and catalog everything you own, the phone in your pocket already tracks you and everyone you care about, etc. It's hard to think of a single popular tech product that isn't collecting data and working for someone other than the "owner" who paid to bring it into their home.

Even this open source AR project is guilty of it. Their privacy policy says they'll collect your personal data to use for marketing. Any tool or tech that requires an account and/or requires connections to someone else's servers is likely going to be used against you, but I hope that someday we get a fully self-hosted, open source product that runs on trustworthy hardware so we can do things like keep track of people's names, record our experiences, and shape the way we see the world without putting ourselves and those around us at risk.
cheogram is my current favorite fork/upgrade of conversations. it works really well with jmp.chat for an xmpp phone number and to text your friends via that phone number from xmpp. I personally like gajim better than dino, but dino 0.4 hasn't made it to my flavor of arch yet so I am waiting to find out if it's worth switching on the desktop or not.
interoperability isn't a problem as long as your clients all support the xeps the others are choosing to use (this should be true of most full fledged clients).
I've been unexpectedly laid off, and I've had at least one job that genuinely engaged me, and I think that laying off employees, or firing employees, or otherwise terminating employees, is not evidence that a company has failed, or that the CEO has failed, or any of those things.

If you want a job where losing that job is tantamount to company failure, start your own business. When it fails (and statistically it probably will), your failure will also lead to your job loss. Congratulations.

If you "have a job", you're accepting being a cog in a machine that's primarily not about you. I make that trade-off, as do most people, but don't mislead yourself about what's going on.
Utterly baffling.

Even with a long commute, I am still so much more productive at office than at home.

Everything I need for lunch and snacks is provided by my employer, no more having to figure out what to cook or order, wasting time cooking and cleaning.

Commutes are a good way to enforce separation between work and personal life, also a great way to catch up on podcasts and audibles.

And forget about productivity when kids and family are at home.

This move at large by the industry makes almost no sense to me.
Agreed. While being forced into a walled garden isn't a good thing, it has the current side effect giving iOS Safari a significant market share to keep Chrome from dominating to become the new IE and have all those "works in Internet Explorer 6 with 1024x768 screen" websites again but this time for Chrome.
Have you ever seen what happens to humans when left on their own in isolation? It’s not particularly evocative of intelligence.
You’re inventing things I said out of whole cloth. Did I talk about tech CEO’s? Nope. Did I say wealthy people work or don’t? Nope. Just tried to give your misguided definitions some basis in reality.

Second:
I know you have no idea what I’m basing that on. That is my point. You don’t know what you’re talking about, you’re just going off half cocked about whatever you THINK I’m talking about. I just gave you a subject you could choose to educate yourself about if you wanted to sound sensible about the windmills you’re currently tilting at. But from your response I see that isn’t going to happen.

I've found it to be important to optimize your diet for satiation, too. If you eat a lot of junk food, it's going to be a struggle to keep to 1500 calories.

A good meal for weight loss, in my experience, is a modest portion of a lean protein (e.g. fish or chicken), a large vegetable portion, and a small amount of carbs (maybe toast or a roll). A lot of my meals are based on that formula and it keeps me full until the next meal for maybe half the calories of a burger and fries.

My plan was to lose weight without thinking about it too much - just adjusting my habits instead of counting calories every day; weighing in occasionally and tweaking my routine based on results. It's been successful so far.
This sentence probably doesn't cover the entire situation.
You are on call presumably and called on demand so work is patchy? I would charge 10x normal rates but fix the price (the quicker you fix their issue the more you are worth). Maybe $20k per incident? Then that frees you up to keep up to date on techniques, tools and so on to make your next hero feat even better. Remember: they called you because their guys couldn’t fix it, so all these will be perceived as hard problems.

I remember someone on HN charged a monthly fee, spent all the time making the prod environment solid then collected a big salary for

Snippets have become so useless I use a plugin to remove them.

What is ridiculous is, when, say, Stack Overflow has a good answer, it is a few lines down or on the next page in the search results, but some page-mill SEO site is in snippets up top with a completely wrong or naively pathetic partially correct answer. It is so annoying it has lowered my opinion on Google a lot in recent times.
It wasn't a complicated bug. The trade interface accepted item quantities for stackable items: gold, bank notes, runes. A modified client allowed you to send a packet of offering into the trade a non-stackable item with zero quantity. Then at some point during the transfer, the quantity for non-stackable items gets ignored, because it should always be one, turning a zero into a one!

I use torrents for full videos of porn, UFC, ebooks, professional tutorials, expensive software and for anything that isn’t available on Netflix since that’s the only subscription service I have.

> Even shelf stockers have basic human dignity

Sure, but no thanks to their employers. Are you telling me that you don't know anyone who doesn't actually like their job, and gets nothing from it except a paycheck? Because it certainly sounds that way.
> you may be able to prevent it from booting while still allowing the rest of the system to run, but probably not.

To be clear, this is not a technical side-effect of some incidental reliance of the boot process on the management engine (ME). Instead, Intel has deliberately made it impossible for consumers to disable the ME, has obfuscated how the ME works, and offered ME-disabled computers only to "military, government and intelligence agencies".

All under the guise that "Intel considers disabling ME to be a security vulnerability, as a malware could abuse it to make the computer lose some of the functionality that the typical user expects, such as the ability to play media with DRM" - which is beyond laughable.

In short, it could not be more obvious that the ME is malicious.

no no no....
my understanding is if you are using it in house for a product, you are fine but you cannot offer it as a hosted service to your customers. read "aws offers managed DB" you cannot do that but you should be able to use this in your "cat picture search engine that uses this DB hosted inhouse".

that is a big difference
Internet Explorer used to dominate the market, now it doesn't. As it was, so it will be.

Great book! Imagine EMs reading it, and reflecting deeply about it and what role they have in an organisation. There is so much bike shedding, fake knowledge, and nonsense in management. At best someone read a book once. How great is the average EM at management compared to programming, for example. The sentiment on scrum here on HN is a good example of that evidence imo. Management is a very underdeveloped area both in many companies, and society as a whole.

> It can't always have been that way

Sure it could have.

1. Start with a library version of just the storage engine;

2. write some CLI tools that use that library to direct-manipulate table heap files, batch import/export between them and serialization formats, etc — y'know, like these ones for BDB (which was the SQLite of its day, and contemporary to Postgres at Berkeley) — https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17076_05/html/api_reference/C/ut... ;

3. define the core system-schema tables for the DBMS, and the required static data to go in them;

4. write a script that uses the CLI tools to bootstrap a "database" (directory of loose heap files) using that schema — call it initdb(1);

5. and now start writing the rest of the DBMS, which can now take "there is an initialized cluster with a populated system schema" as an axiomatic assumption, opening it and reading important state and configuration from said schema files from almost the first line of code.

(I have no special knowledge of PG's earliest versions, so this might be a just-so story; but today, initdb(1) is a separate tool with separate code that doesn't come from some library that also gets compiled into the PG postmaster. And that's not the sort of design you would move to, if you had started out with a design where the postmaster could bootstrap an empty cluster directory into existence on startup.)

That's not the point. ChatGPT says all sorts of stupid stuff. It's expected. Showing an ad where your LLM is saying stupid stuff, as an example of its capabilities, is amusing because it's obviously unintentional yet completely and absolutely appropriate. It'd be like a live Coke ad that said "Drink Coke and you can be like this guy!" while accidentally panning over to an obese manblob instead of e.g. Usain Bolt.

I have no idea, but it's the most salient thing I know about CEO pay having never been one.
No, but generally you might find yourself stuck in box with both a negotiated minimum and a negotiated maximum and in a lot of cases that sliding scale is driven by seniority with the org or union more than capability. Tends to work well for factories and trades, but is not so great for knowledge workers.

It also can take your organization out of the market for highly capable but younger prospects.
Perhaps with population growth?
I have tried this method some time ago, it does work but it is not consistent. Sometimes you’d get good results identical to davinci as the article mentioned but you have the risk of showing random text not related to the prompt.

But I haven’t fine tuned on a large number of records, so that might solve the consistency problem.
Something like this would be cool, but IMO it’s a bit of a nonstarter until it can run locally.
To be honest, I didn't know it. I tried to use pandoc,a2ps and enscript.

Islander is now – officially – the world chin-up champion
If your insulin is high, you can't utilize your fat stores. They are essentially locked away. You must use your glyocgen stores and glucose to fuel your brain and body. When your insulin is low and not stimulated by carbs/protein, you can utilize your fat stores and produce ketones. Your brain and body use the ketones for energy. Our brains prefer ketones over glucose when it has the choice. This is the point OP is trying to make. The article doesn't bother to mention basic human physiology of being in a fasting state vs a fed state.

If you have hyperinsulemia (massively ignored and undiagnosed in western countries), or are eating 3 meals /day + snacks with carbs and proten, or such... it is very hard for your body to have a chance to burn fat stores. Your body becomes adapted to storing energy, not burning it. Your insulin is too frequently elevated.

This huberman pdocast you link is more about athletic performance for low carb vs high carb. There's huberman podcasts covering the fact that metabolic disease and obesity is driven by high insulin too
