It's interesting to me that this has become such a common internet talking point. A while ago, I finished reading a history of the UN (the one by Stanley Meisler), and I definitely got the impression that the founders of the UN wanted it to be more than just a forum. E.g. here are some passages I hilighted from Chapter 1:

"Americans could envision the Soviet Union joining the United States in policing the peace in the brighter new world that would arise from the carnage [of WW2]" (page 2)

"The Soviet ambassador... was even stronger than the others in pleading for a security council with teeth" (page 9)

"Chopping the air with his hands to emphasize his words, Truman said the new UN must keep the world 'free from the fear of war'." (page 19)

More generally the ongoing theme of the book is the extent to which the UN has been successful, and unsuccessful, at ensuring world peace in various conflicts that have flared since its founding.

I did get the impression that not a lot of thought was put into the design of the UN, and there is the possibility that it could've been much more successful with a radically different design.

[Edit: To be more concrete -- Google tells me that global military spending was $2.1 trillion in 2021. You'd think it would be worth putting a mere 1% of that $2.1 trillion, something like $21 billion, into essay competitions, agent-based simulations, online diplomacy games, academic literature reviews, etc. in order to design an optimal UN structure that minimizes the risk of war. But the actual structure of the UN was designed using far, far less than $21 billion worth of analysis, based on what I recall from the Meisler book.]

That's not to say that the UN being a forum is bad or unnecessary. But it's interesting to me how everyone seems to have forgotten its original eutopian aspiration to create a world free from war. Maybe has something to do with the fact that people who lived through WW2 are mostly dead now, and few living people understand at a visceral level how horrifying war between great powers really is.
Watching old movies, I have an impression that before 80's the company workers have had more personal space, bigger tables, own rooms, etc. There would have been no need for such a personal-space device.

Nowadays everything is packed.

But maybe this is only some selective bias.
What happens though is people try to chuck the whole thing which also doesn’t work. You can’t make smart phones without eight hundred years of materials science. We know from science a whole lot of things one should definitely not do, we just don’t know the magic facts needed to do everything. Like make a 2100 era cellphone. Or cure cancer. Or predict the weather accurately.
You might be interested in the FakeTV project on Github, specifically "Psuedo Channel". I found it a while back searching about basically the same idea (i.e. "how could I simulate something like TV but provide all my own content").

I haven't tried it out yet, but it seems to be an implementation of the basic idea, and it's in Python, and we're on HN, which means it's a fair bet that you could figure out how to tweak it to your specific desires if you wanted to!

You mean "when Docker decided to strong-arm their wealthiest customers into paying tens of thousands per month with a few months of warning, they became a $50MM/year company?"

Deno is awesome but I'm not satisfied with implementation. I wrote very simple web server which listens for GitHub CI notifications (with deno I implemented it all including crypto with 0 dependencies, wow). We're tiny company so notifications are like once an hour or something like that. It eats like 50 MB of RAM and eats like 6m CPU all the time. Simple Go server eats around 20-30 MB of RAM and eats < 1m CPU all the time. I just don't understand what does deno do all the time with its 6m idle CPU. Hopefully it'll be improved in the future.

Also I think this whole granular access thing is weird. I never wanted it, container isolation is more than enough. Hopefully it does not add much drag to deno progress.
Once you "jailbreak" it, it becomes way more obvious how stupid it is by default. It honestly makes me trust the training less, because I'll never trust the trainers. When 100% of its efficacy is based on human input with God knows what motivation, it sours the whole thing for me.
I don't know if it's the sunlight coming in through the window adjacent to their desk or some kind of filter, but for reason their desk set-up looks like a computer rendering of someone's desk set-up. It's ostensibly a 4K image, but after zooming it, it feels like the aesthetic of, well, everything, in the image is closer to something painted than it is an actual photo. I'd recommend taking a look at the details on both the hanging plant leaves and the pot reflections. It's somewhat interesting, because none of the other images in the post seem to have the same effect.

Does anyone else see something similar? Is this effect common through post-processing or compression on a certain type of phone or something?

I have no idea where the claim that there's "no historical evidence for their use" comes from and would like to see a source (or just evidence that you've done any amount of research before making this claim). I think you might be confused because the term "hallucinogenic" only came of use around the 1950s

For example, this paper[0] explores the ethnobotanic use of hallucinogenic mushrooms in Slovenia says

> Use of hallucinogenic plants and fungi, believed to extend back thousands of years, is an important part of the human experience

> The term hallucinogen first became popular in the 1950s and was originally used as the substances were said to produce hallucinations, though we now know that this is often not the case at lower doses

Ancient Greeks drank psychoactive concoctions that contained a mix of psychedelic mushrooms and even reports from the Middle Ages document their use. Clusius (1525-1609), a physician and botanist, discovered ‘bolond gomba’, a mushroom known in Germany as Narrenschwamm or Fool's mushroom, which was used in rural areas to concoct a love potion. ‘Fools mushrooms’ were also documented around the same time in Slovakia, Poland, and in England

Overpriced compared to nothing. But for a chip that was released 3 years ago, maybe it is a little bit too much? Also yes, Nvidia does have a moat with CUDA, and it would take a long time for Intel and AMD to overtake them. So for the short term, Nvidia is probably fine just charging a lot of money for their chips. But in the end, if AMD or Intel releases a chip that competes with the A100 (or any flagship chip that Nvidia currently has a monopoly on), for a lower price, it is only a matter of time before high performance computing moves to the hardware interface of choice for said company. AMD released GPUFORT two years back, an alternative to CUDA for AMD products. Nvidia can afford to be doing what it is right now because of its monopoly. But that won't always be there. I don't have a firm opinion on what they should do, I am just trying to make sense of this.

As a side note, have you ever heard a coherent and/or useful explanation of the "orient" part? It seems like every time I hear about the OODA loop, that's the part that gets yadda-yadda-yadda'd over.
>The computer that Scotty uses to show transparent aluminum was originally going to be an Amiga, but Commodore would only give permission if they bought their own. Apple Computer was willing to give them a Mac for free.

Without knowing all the details, that seems like a dumb move by Commodore. Too bad though that some geeks weren't consulted, since they might have fixed up a Symbolics machine for the scene, which was a movie prop during the 80's.

As the state whose official motto is "live free or die", this might be the only place in the US where things like this may get noticed.

That said, given how I've been mainly on the Windows side for the past decades and that hasn't stopped me from learning or being in control (although that is increasingly being taken away by the excuse of "security"), maybe enshrining the right to reverse-engineer and modify proprietary software is more important.

Ironically, the Libreboot logo is remarkably reminiscent of John Deere's.
TPM 2.0 is old table stakes, circa 2014-2015. The processor requirement (8th gen Intel) is probably more of a concern, but even that is almost 6 years old at this point. I'd wager most business laptops/desktops are Win 11 ready, though that doesn't mean anyone wants it.
Just thinking a little out of the box here, but might going to loud venues work to exercise your weakness best? The hardest place for native speakers to communicate is in a loud bar/club where you really have to actively listen and can barely hear the other person's words even when you're close up. Going to loud bars and clubs might be an interesting way to try and learn to understand the other person even when it's very hard to hear what they say. If you can master that, you can communicate anywhere.

As a potential alternative, maybe try picking up some kind of ham radio communicating as a hobby and work through trying to communicate with garbled long-range voices that are hard to easily understand.
> Regardless, your comparison reminds me that even Abu Ghraib resulted in numerous prison terms.

Since this is HN I might as well provide the data:

- Former Spc. Armin Cruz - 8 months

- Former Sgt. Javal Davis - 6 months

- Pfc. Lynndie England - 3 years (released after 1 year and 5 months)

- Former Staff Sgt. Ivan Frederick - 8½ years (released on parole after 4 years)

- Former Cpl. Charles A. Graner Jr. - 10 years (paroled after 6 and a half years)

- Former Spc. Sabrina Harman - 6 months

- Former Spc. Roman Krol - 10 months

- Former Spc. Jeremy Sivits - 1 year

- Former Sgt. Michael J. Smith - 179 days

And the two who served no prison time were:

- Former Sgt. Santos A. Cardona - 90 days of hard labor

- Former Spc. Megan Ambuhl Graner - Discharged from the army without prison time

Hey that’s good; git log -S doesn’t show you whitespace changes.

I’m not sure I follow, what does consistent mean to you, can you elaborate? Is that consistency something you have a hard time getting right now because of source control issues? I guess I was wondering about whether you had a wish list for formatting, things that you don’t have but would take if you knew it wouldn’t cause any issues with source control. Do you use clang-format, or any other auto-formatters on your team?

Google isn't successful because of their tech decisions. They just happen to make an infinite amount of ad money; everything else they do is mainly getting their engineers to play in sandboxes to distract them so they won't leave to start other ad markets.

> The CEO got charged with stealing tech and selling it to tesla

Wasn't it "selling" to Uber (instead of Tesla), and not the CEO, but the head engineer/founder of Waymo program[0]?

Note: "selling" in quotes, because he didn't sell anything to Uber while working at Waymo. Instead, he downloaded the confidential info before resigning from Waymo, and then took that info with him to start Otto (an autonomous truck company). Otto eventually got acquired by Uber, and Levandowski became the head of Uber's autonomous car division.

Generally you're ramping up for 3-6mo and then most companies want to see that you're performing at the expected level for at least 6mo. That's 9-12mo bare minimum.

If you were downleveled and they promised you staff+ then they are probably going to be more stringent and there are also more factors out of your control (E.g. your team, org, manager, etc) so good luck getting "quickly" promoted.

Synthesizing the new information (from observing) with prior information to understand the fuller picture before deciding. If you skip it, then you're, at best, just being reactive and reacting to only the present incomplete information.
Space begins at an elevation of 330,000 feet. For some reason, anything above this has been classified again, for some reason, as “outer space shall be free for exploration and use by all States;”. Below this, is when airspace laws and treaties begin to apply. Over US airspace, there are laws in place to allow commercial planes, and such from other countries to fly over. But for things like spy balloons, not so. It is considered invading sovereign airspace, and a violation of international law.
There has been some work, nothing commercialized yet that I've heard of:

I've seen a report on PubMed about a successful growth of a new replacement tooth from stem cells in a rabbit as well, can't find the link at the moment.

It seems SDF was approved for kids 7 or so years ago in the US:

https://soylentnews.org/article.pl?sid=16/07/18/0057230

SDF is used on the very old a lot also (much easier to use for those with Alzheimer's for example). You can ask for it but not a lot of US dentists have experience applying it or keep it in stock. Some dentists will adamantly refuse to apply it, probably because it reduces their profit since if it stops decay there is no filling needed, though it could also be because it can cause staining in unpredictable places (anywhere with decay, and the gums also) that takes months or years to disappear. In general it would seem the dental profession has no reason to welcome a cure for tooth decay and every reason to delay one. It would not put them them entirely out of business, but it certainly would reduce business.

There have been some other interesting developments in dentistry:

You can't easily add a new filesystem or screw with the kernel on macOS/windows without having to buy hundreds of dollars worth of their books and attend conferences.

Actually it's even `map((element, index, array) => parseInt(element, index, array))`. In this case `parseInt` does not use third argument but with other functions it might even make more chaos.

`Array.map` function API was badly designed. I'd like to know who I should to blame for that design.
The other way to protect yourself is to design the app to be easily portable between cloud solutions.

A static site can easily move from fly to heroku to vercel to digital ocean. Something written in NodeJS can be moved around those just as easily.

Most apps will be naturally portable unless you do something very specfic to your provider.

The idea here is not to be "multi cloud" but to say "if this provider goes to shit, give me 2-4 hours, and I can deploy it somewhere else, change the DNS, and then go sip a pina colada".
Mesa (the Linux OpenGL driver) supports caching shaders on any GPU. And Vulkan essentially has shader caching built in at the specification level. I know that Steam ships precompiled Vulkan shaders, and while there's no equivalent for Mesa's shader cache yet, it shouldn't be a huge issue since it would only cause a short delay the first time the shader is loaded.
Interesting, does being open source actually offer meaningful protection against hardware supply chain attacks though?

Code style has zero to do with how good a programmer is. Good programmers structure and architect their applications well. Bad programmers doesn’t even have a clue what that means.
After more than a decade of having tiny repos, I strongly believe that monorepos are the right way to go.

When you're pinning on old versions of software it quickly turns into a depsolving mess.

Software developers have difficulty figuring out which version of code is actually being deployed and used.

When dealing with major version bumps and semver pins around different repositories that creates a massive amount of make-work and configuration churn, and creates entire FTE roles practically dedicated to that job (or else grinds away at the time available for devs to do actual work and not just bump pins and deal with depsolving).

In any successful team which is using many dozens of repos, there's probably one dev running around like fucking nuts making sure everyhing is up to date and in synch who is keeping the whole thing going. If they leave because they're not getting career advancement then the pain is going to get surfaced.

The ability to pin also creates and encourages tech debt and encourages stale library code with security vulnerabilities. All that pinning flexibility is engineering to make tech debt really easy to start generating and to push all that maintenance into the future.
