Spain is a complicated example because it's also in the 'wrong' timezone - it's on Central European Time (UTC+1), and should be really be on UTC.

So if people are living their lives roughly aligned to the sun, then they'll naturally wake and sleep later.

It would be interesting to contrast that with Athens which is more aligned to the correct timezone for their longitude.
It will be better if the modern debunking of the design arguments refered to Socrates as the originator of the arguments, not rewording of the same arguments by a random guy from 200 years ago. And even as a debunking original Hume's one from 250 years ago about stupid mechanic that I sighted in another thread was more to the point than the modern talk about a blind watchmaker.
I have literally experienced this, I'm not sure how you can dismiss it as "just wrong"
I wasn't talking about running the same code with a new corpus. For that kind of use case one can simply fine tune the pretrained model. The example I gave was "if a CS student wants to dabble in this research".

You said "LLM training is not the same as writing a program and running your code with different variations". How do you think these LLMs were made, seriously? Do you think Facebook researchers sat down for 12 months and wrote code non stop without compiling it once, until the program was finished and was used to train the LLM literally only one time?
Getty would still need to prove actual harm, like from use of those images.

"when used properly, potassium bromate converts into a harmless substance during food production"

Wow, pretty big assumption it will always be used properly, for something in wide use.
Managing remote developers and teams can be a challenging task. One asks questions like how do you ensure that your team stays on track, communicates effectively, and can deliver high-quality work? Nowadays there are tools and softwares that can help manage remote teams effectively in terms of communication, collaborating with their team, writing and editing codes and a whole lot more!

This was an interesting article that focused on the questions that i had and wanted to share it with everyone.

Well that's not too bad maybe. I probably will upgrade sometime relatively soon. It just hasn't seemed as compelling, but that could also be my enthusiasm has waned since I was younger. Hard to know, I guess.
The web is boring now because everyone interesting is banned by bland mediocrities. If you don't follow the current thing to the letter every major social media platform - bar twitter for the last two months - would remove you from circulation pretty much instantly. The only people who agree with everything that is popular right now are the ones incapable of thinking. Ergo a chat bot trained on old forum data seems more genuine than anyone left on Reddit.
That's exactly what I'm saying, right?

The problem has always been there but it was largely ignored because it wasn't that frequent (although I think it's definitely more frequent than most people make themselves believe).

Now that everyone has a "friend" to ask thanks to ChatGPT, people begin to care. How dare the plebs have the same options to cheat as privileged students!
The problem is going to bed late, not getting up early. Unfortunately, heavy course demands can keep a student up late into the night.

1. Pretty much every retail store in existence in the US, because sales taxes aren't calculated until checkout

Which is, of course, insane. There is no good reason for taxes to not be rolled into the price. What next? An 'employee wages' line item that gets added at checkout? Maybe a 'mall rental space' one? A 'shareholder dividend' one?

> 2. Every online retail store that charges for shipping and handling.

Depending on where they ship, those are at least unknown until checkout.

> 3. Even your cleaning fee example isn't as cut-and-dry as you make it out to be. Cleaning fees for vacation rentals are usually assessed only once per stay (i.e. for cleaning the room after checkout), so including the cleaning fee into the nightly rate isn't accurate, even if I enter my rental dates while searching.

Rental availability is only known when you enter a date range. If you've entered a date range, there's no reason the fees can't be included in the price. There's nothing fraudulent about selling 5 nights for $180/night, versus 4 nights for $195/night, just like there's nothing fraudulent about charging more for 2x2L jugs of milk than for 1x4L jug.

> 4. I've seen customers get irate and demand something was "fraud" when a vacation rental had parking fees.

Unlike #1 and #3 (Sales tax, cleaning fees), parking fees really are optional.
My use of weird in this sense is tautological. I’m supposing you have to be in some sense weird in order to create art that moves people. This weirdness is what allows the creator to see what we’re all seeing in a slightly different way which makes their art meaningful.
I needed a new laptop and due to that, I've recently spent quite a lot of time browsing reddit, various forums and this sacrosanct place, trying to find information about experiences with laptop's brands and configurations. I ended up purchasing a Lenovo P15v AMD due to its upgradability and internal ports (RAID capability, non-soldered RAM memory) but was very close to get a Mac M1/2 laptop. I ditched the idea in the end because I want a fully functional Linux system on it. I don't like MacOS at all (I have enough having to deal with it on my company assigned computer) but I have to admit that the quality of their devices is beyond anything on the market, also the simplicity of their product lines.

Anyways, if one day Linux reaches the point where it's fully compatible with the M* series I am not gonna have second thoughts on purchasing one, right away.
It's really annoying given the fact that hardware is more than capable of running some oldies. Hell there is an official WoW build which runs super well, but no other blizz games are ported.

I'm all for pushing back on the idea that just because it's "old", that it's useless and needs to be replaced. Lots of old machines are still perfectly good at a lot of stuff, and can be had and upgraded for cheap, which is awesome!

However, there's no way to slice going from a M1 MacBook Air to a ThinkPad T480 as anything but a downgrade. The screen is worse, the CPU is worse, the battery is MUCH worse, it's thicker, heavier, the list goes on. If the author of the post is happier with his new laptop, that's great, but this isn't really a path it makes sense for anyone else go follow him down.
Interesting! You can also inherit from code.InteractiveConsole[0] to build a REPL. That's how the new sqlite3 REPL is implemented[1]

This is cool, but I think you lost me when you said “it just works out of the box” about your OS. I mean, sure, but you’ve had to order a new screen, touchpad, battery and RAM. That’s a lot of boxes to work out of
> a battery that has 20h+ capacity and can be swapped with a second one to double the capacity in seconds.

And which basically doubles the size and weight of the laptop.
I like the Carbons but I also have a Mac/use all three OS's

It's hard for me buy a brand new device though idk... What sucks about used devices is the battery and replacements are usually fake.

Funny M1 has been pretty good (cool) but with rider it was getting warm, open up htop and all cores working.

I'm a fan of the screen the most on Macs.

Let's see:

- Iyengar is not of Sanskrit origin. On the other hand the unambiguously Dalit surname Chamar is.

- First names are dictated more by fashion than by caste. And the names of deities are used across castes. The idea that first names are markers of caste will sound patently absurd to anyone living in India.

- Rao and Murthy are used across castes. No South Indian will mistake them for caste markers.

> I don't claim to generalise

Really? Because "is a tell-tale of upper-caste origin" and "This rule works across the North-South divide in India" sound like generalizations to me.

Do you really think propagating these misconceptions is productive?
Cost of living must be very high in the USA as the lower figure $3 mill would give me a very high salary in the UK.

About £1 million would allow a 3% draw-down forever and give a really nice salary like much higher than the average.
The hot air came later when the project manager gods realised they had to rebrand if they were going to continue telling coders what to do.
Resorting to silly Mac user stereotypes that were barely true when they dropped in 2008 is a good way to tell people you’ve never used a Mac or been to a Starbucks in a decade.
Ok here's the thing. I used to build PCs, and I'd tinker with linux distros on laptops. Things would be flakey, need maintenance and upgrading and that was fun.

That's fine when you're laser focused on your career and are in 'career as personality' part of your life, which is essential imo and I'm not sneering at it by making reference to it in that way.

But ultimately, I now need to get to my desk just on time, know my machine will work and not just be an opportunity cost sink, and get what I've scheduled done and then clock off when I need to.

Now, that can happen with custom bits and tinkery bobs, but I'd much rather have the insurance policy of using what I personally have experienced as the most solid and reliable hardware/software combo in the business and not concern myself with the other stuff, even if sometimes it's more fun. I work on a 13" 2013 mbp i7/16g ram and 2021 13" m1 / 16gig ram and have never had a single issue with either that cost me work time. Having to install more stuff to then claim "it just works" isn't just working, it's adding more "oh it now doesn't work for some esoteric reason" to the chain.

I would never buy a Apple laptop.

You don't know what it does as its a closed system. But even heavier for me counts the fact that you can't replace its hdd which will fail after years of usage no matter what. Also you will not receive any security updated after seven years.

Digital identity: Web Key Directory as a possible solution

Hindu nationalism in US doesn't make sense. HAF works in USA. Your argument is flawed. Why should I care about India and connect it to HAF ? That is as i pointed out, flawed and racist thinking.
M1 to T480? Odd. I plan to go thinkpad to M series once all the Asahi Linux work is complete and upstreamed so I can run Fedora on it just as well as on x86.

By what metrics?

I think I saw something about kernel compatibility just the other day. No idea what the other pieces are the puzzle are.
Thanks I just realized that.

So really for a developer it would potentially be this simple;

cp my-app.container $HOME/.config/containers/systemd && systemctl --user daemon-reload

Just to compare with docker-compose again.
You could still buy and build exactly same. Probably even keeping the modern features well designed and hidden. It is just the reality that less people are ready to pay for it. And labour needed is more expensive.
The biggest contrast here and what we should be concerned about is the fact that this old Thinkpad can be upgraded and still be used vs an old macbook that if speced too low is now useless and ends up on a landfill. Not even considering that new macbooks if locked are unusable on the secondary market and get tossed even if the hardware is perfectly fine.

It's as if we have given up on "solving" climate change in favor of short term profits...
Interesting.

I've switched from Win10 to Mac for work last summer and it's been great so far. IMO Finder and Explorer are both garbage with different colored glitter mixed in, but general experience of working on MacOs is so much better than everything my Windows and Linux boxes offered.

This laptop has 16 gigs of ram (my windows workstation has 48), can run on one charge whole work day and then some, emits zero noise and is very responsive no matter how many tabs and live-reloading applications I have running. Super impressive to me.
Don't worry, our highly efficient, world class, over-provisioned National Health Service will deal with the consequences in short order.
Think about it in reverse: imagine that you increased the workweek to six days. Do you think productivity would increase? Now imagine that you increased the workweek to seven days out of the week, giving workers no rest days whatsoever. Would you expect productivity to rise or fall as a result of working people to absolute unending exhaustion?

Since ancient times we have known that there is a tradeoff between days of work and days of rest, which is where the idea of "rest days" came from in the first place. Societies with rest days managed to outcompete societies without rest days, despite the former seeming to produce less on paper. Regardless of whether the optimal ratio is 2:5 or 3:4 or whatever, the general mechanism is not in doubt.
"There could be even larger changes—we talk a lot, and almost all of it goes into the ether. What if people recorded conversations as a matter of course, made transcripts, and referred back to them the way we now look back to old texts or e-mails?"

Minority Report-level awesome futurism

One thing that changes everything
It's absolutely true that a16z will have preferential terms to their investments and will screw a lot of the founders they invested in, but that just mitigates downside, it doesn't stop it. Firstly, because VC returns are meant to be dominated by the 100x-er, mitigating downside doesn't really impact their returns too much. Secondly, because it puts firms in a death loop. When a company is in a position where all the founders and early staff are going to be washed out they suddenly have no upside. You've been slaving away at a start up for years hoping for your payday, but you're forced to raise a down round, suddenly there's no upside, even if the business succeeds you don't get the financial returns, it's time to leave. So these companies that would generally survive, suddenly have no staff.
I also do all of my development on various ThinkPads I've owned throughout my life: T480, T490, P51..

I like cheap, upgradeable laptops over Macs since:

* I can put what I want in them. I don't want to pay Apple 200 euros for 8GB of RAM.

* It's not a treasure. I take care of it because it would be annoying to have to replace it, but my wallet wouldn't cry over a cheap second-hand machine

* They run Linux well

* My P51 has a Quadro dGPU that can play basically all games before 2018, which is enough for me (and better than what a M1 can do)

I literally don't see an advantage to owning a M1 besides better resolution (why people want a trillion pixels on their screen I don't get also. I can see perfectly fine without 4K) and build quality.
If anyone hasn't watched the documentary 'Cadillac Desert' on the importance of water in the history and development of the United States Southwest, then I would highly recommend putting it on.

> just fine as long as it’s advertised

I completely agree, but would like to make the observation that if they're forced to advertise it properly, then something different is likely to happen.

Businesses like to find places to give "discounts" to make their prices seem cheaper. This is an excellent opportunity. They would list a nightly rate, and offer discounts for multiple night stays.
> ...except price and repairability.

And keyboard.
Also Aussie, also won't be buying another Mac. Issues I have include: crapstore, refusal to upgrade XCode which makes the hardware soon-useless (at least brew is complaining), and three different upgrades that killed third party USB drivers (one killed my favourite keyboard, one killed my non-Apple branded USB network adaptor, and one killed connectivity with some CHxxx UART driven microcontrollers). I would say quite seriously that Apple is no longer suitable for development. I will be focusing on Linux desktops again from now on.

Right, but "If you upgrade the screen, batteries, trackpad, speakers, RAM and SSD and then it's a pretty good laptop" isn't exactly a ringing endorsement.

A 38-horsepower 1980s Mini 1000 is a fast car, if you install the engine and drivetrain from a Toyota Celica GT-Four.
It vastly depends on the remote. I'm testing Oxen (on their own hub), it has barely the same speed as dvc on S3. If I was trying to push the results to a direction being pro DVC, I would compare pushing to a local minio, I could claim 10x more speed.
That's a worst case. The vast majority of the time I don't touch anything. I was just trying to point out that once you have a stable config that works out for you, there is no need to constantly change it.
This is the comment where I now get offended that you said that as if not using a Mac or not going to Starbucks are shameful.

It's rare to see such a flame war on hn
We will not move past the “caste system” (or any other system or “-ism”) till we face our fear of being expelled for non-conformity. This is the root of it every -ism, I believe.

This is difficult and will not happen in one or two generations. This cannot be regulated or incentivised into happening.

It will take much more introspection from each and every one of us. It requires each of us to awaken to the suffering we bring unto ourselves and unto those around us. Till that day comes, each system and -ism will continue to thrive.

I shared a personal experience on another HN thread of the same type. It might give some insight into this problem: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34876455

Hating on a system of hate will not solve the issue. Becoming aware of the potential hate within each of us, accepting that the hate is a coping mechanism for fear, and then discarding it is the only way forward. It starts by looking within each of us, and then changing our own lives, and hoping that this sets an example for those around us, who can choose to follow and change, or may also choose to continue in their set ways.

Funny how mask wearing was totally not a way to denigrate people or shut them up by the upper classes a year ago.
> I am the stereotypical cis male white guy.

Newspeak™ terms like 'cis' should be kept out of the general discourse, they have no place in a society where people live and thrive based on what binds them together. This type of language only serves to divide and create more 'us versus them' which may be a boon for those who want to push identity politics but is a bane for the rest of society.

There's plenty of terrible hardware out there, indeed. Personally I prefer Thinkpads. I've owned a lot of shitty laptops over the years, though the Macbook Pro(2013/2014 retina) is the only one that's managed to become permanently dead as yet. The others I've been able to repair to some extent. I've had my Thinkpad for six years now and it's still going strong. It's not even a powerful model, I just run pretty low-overhead stuff on it and test the stuff I code remotely on my home workstation through a vpn. It's sturdy as hell though. 6 years of not-so-gentle use and no accidental damage has happened. The Macbook display was damaged and useless after 3 months, because it was dropped, once. Of course it was deemed user error, because it was. But man, I expect a bit more sturdyness from a $1400 laptop built in metal by a company that is supposed to deliver "superior quality" at a hefty premium.

I expect to keep my Thinkpad for another 5 years at least. But I might switch to Framework at some point if they can match the Thinkpad build quality. For laptops I value sturdyness and repairability over all other considerations, because I'm clumsy as hell. Apple products are far too fragile for me and far less sturdy than they look.
FTC public comments period regarding Non-Compete clause rule
Is there any evidence these things are actually making people sick?

Just saying “it’s banned in these countries” isn’t evidence.
Yep, it ain't pretty, it's just possible. If you're a function over form kind of person, the ability to work for several days in a camp site or road trip without plugging it in is a terrific accomplishment and well worth the extra bulk. If you're the latter (form over function) then in the case of batteries, the cure is worse than the disease.

Expert: "Almost certainly making them sick"
Yes, what I mean is, ideally kubelet files + podman would be a sufficient replacement. Not drop-in, but close enough, but it's not there ergonomically (yet?).
Where do you get your knowledge about spare parts?
i used retina and now am back to 1920x1080 on my t480. no problem.
You’re dishonestly miscategorising the issue, even if only by implication. It’s not it being a “basic” laptop. It’s about the operating system it’s running.
Does that actually matter? Seriously, it's less that some of the text books I used to lug around at school.
I see your point, but I think there is a version of this that would be fine. I imagine these rules would be shown in the product so users can see the configuration and override it, perhaps it's an explicit opt-in, perhaps there's a public application process for inclusion or some sort of stated conditions so that it's not seen as too political which services are chosen... there are lots of options.
Thinkpads are traditionally scoring high points at repairability and durability. It almost become a must-go step for battery swaps right after getting an used Thinkpad model.
The generator doesn't do that atm no. Seems like it would be useful though.

On the other hand, I belive systemd would load override files for the generated .service file, although those can just override details on the systemd level, not the generated podman command.
I'm not entirely sure of the legalities here: would he have been allowed to dig up that gold? Would he be entitled to a finder's fee from the FBI? Reporting it instead of digging it up may well have been the right thing in this situation.

And if the government had excavators, an army of trucks and possible other machinery, as the article suggests, then I don't see why they wouldn't have been able to extract 7 tons of gold in one night. And a lone treasure hunter may not have access to such resources.
I suppose it depends on your 'good enough' threshold. I'm quite happy on a stock Thinkpad X220 (7 row keyboard) but I don't do anything especially demanding.

Many here would find that machine limiting.
