I don't follow. What serious writer can't go buy a printer for $49.99 or pay less than $10 to have it printed? I'm assuming they would be writing their story on a phone that costs close to $1k or a laptop at the same price range.
Yes, any binary format is going to be dramatically faster than JSON. IIRC JSON was the bottleneck in k8s at one point so it was replaced with protobufs.

well, it's not the root cause. there's many reasons why healthcare is way too expensive in america. the fact is that employers pay a huge sum for healthcare in the US and this makes up a sizable portion of your compensation. if you earn 50K and the health insurance for your family costs 20K per year, that's pretty big.

the solution of course is to get those healthcare premiums lowered: that's going to require some kind of rationing.

You're giving religion credit for things that other species consistently manage to do without religion (like actively avoiding inbreeding). To say religion was useful because it inadvertently generated beneficial selection pressures is like saying abusing a child is useful because it teaches a child how to defend themselves.

I'm also curious why you believe evolution to be a metaphysical concept. From my POV you're introducing unnecessary, loaded terms like "religion" to explain phenomena that are already explained without them.

"Religion" is much more than "just the word for the collection of knowledge about how the society should operate". Maybe "ethics" is a better term for that? Religion is a very loaded term. The history of religion represents an ecosystem of competing industries vying for power over each other. I agree that religion has been used as a tool to influence the behavior of human society for both good and bad, but so has advertising and marketing (bacon for breakfast, diamonds for wedding bands, KFC for Christmas, etc.). Does that make advertising religion? Is religion a form of advertising? Or are they both just superfluous terms for something more simple: evolution.

I'm very confused by how this occurred. Did the school implement a policy that it's okay to send out AI generated emails so long as the use of AI is disclosed? Did the sender not proofread the email and notice that it mentioned ChatGPT at the bottom? What other emails are being sent out without a human so much as bothering to look at them?
> - significantly higher cost (absent widespread R1 zoning, which drives the cost of apartments up),

Also significantly higher return on investment. Homeowners build equity, renters don't. Houses increase in value faster than owned condos/apartments/townhouses.

> - locations in the middle of desolate suburbia,

It's not desolate. We have everything -- parks, stores, restaurants, schools, nearby downtown areas...

> - dead neighbourhoods because almost no one lives there,

Not dead at all. Plenty of kids playing all the time, people walking their dogs, etc.

> - very few nearby stores and restaurants,

Not true at all. There are hundreds of stores and restaurants where I live. They just aren't jammed between people's houses.

> - no or limited public transit because it costs far too much to run in sprawling suburbia,

Plenty of transit in my suburb.

> - utter dependence on personal automobiles, and the complete lack of independence for children, young adults, and other non-driving members of society,

Not true at all. People have ways to get around. Kids ride bikes. There are buses and trains not all that far away.

> - the necessity of maintaining the grounds of your own personal park,

It's not usually a big deal to maintain your yards. Most people seem to manage. Some hire gardeners, but many also take care of it themselves.

> - poorly maintained or missing public infrastructure because everything is so spread out,

All the infrastructure in most suburbs is fine. It's not like we all live in the 1800s or something. The roads are even paved!

> - having to endure endless traffic because of your 1hr commute to work,

A 1-hour commute is an outlier. It just is. The US average, last I checked, is something like 30 or 35 minutes.

Ask HN: Desktop vs. Laptop with ARM/Apple Silicon
Would you buy a laptop for development if it sat on a desk 90% of the time?

I've always bought laptops but they spend 90% of the time on the desk. With Intel/AMD it may have been better to get a desktop for better TDP.

With ARM/Apple Silicon does that hold true?
To add to your anecdote: Darwin wrote On the Origin of Species with a day that ran: Breakfast and a walk; 90 minutes of writing; spending time with his wife reading their letters and a novel; another 90 minutes of writing; and lunch.

After lunch was attending to his correspondence, reading with his wife, then dinner and games.

For all the talk of "crushing" and "changing the world" I doubt that anything almost anyone here works on or ever has worked on will have the same impact as Origin. The cult of productivity is unhinged, madness.
One change that went into 1.36 is that you can no longer use an exit node while advertising one (https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/3569). The Mac UI was not updated for that in time, but the next release the menu items should be disabled correctly.
I don't see why this was downvoted as well; is it seriously controversial to suggest that a substantial number of people without ADHD are taking Adderall as a cognitive performance enhancer?

The rest of us start fidgeting and checking our cell phone somewhere around the thirty minute mark. I work near the financial district of a big city, so every day a new Senior Regional Manipulator Of Tiny Numbers comes in and tells me that his brain must be broken because he can’t sit still and manipulate tiny numbers as much as he wants. How come this is so hard for him, when all of his colleagues can work so diligently?

Thoughts, emotions, and sensations are serialized to text to transmit to others.

Inherently, the serialization is lossy and the deserialization is also lossy.

Good writing can have:

- high compression ratio: many things transmitted rapidly

- higher fidelity: original thought is serialized in a way recoverable by sufficient available deserializers

- novelty

Of course, this is a serde problem, so people try to name each of these things in different ways: deserializers that have the ability to extract more information from serialized content are called connoisseurs, for instance. Frequently this is because the serialized content relies on pre-computed results stored in the deserializer memory, sometimes called "allusions".

I will leave you with two examples of text expressed in different ways. The Remains of The Day is a book that follows a man's journey of self-discovery after he has spent much of his life in service, having missed many opportunities due to his devotion to that service. I urge you to read the book, compare it with that text, and see if I was accurate or did service to it.

Second: I sometimes do things that seem unlike the image of me that I retain. Something makes me do them. Why is that?

That is one way to express what Captain Ahab says in Moby Dick:

What is it, what nameless, inscrutable, unearthly thing is it; what cozening, hidden lord and master, and cruel, remorseless emperor commands me; that against all natural lovings and longings, I so keep pushing, and crowding, and jamming myself on all the time; recklessly making me ready to do what in my own proper, natural heart, I durst not so much as dare?
You can make the server think they are using a perfect TCP connection even if the protocol is different.

I wouldn't go this route because by the time the data gets to the DPU you have already burned the cycles and paid the price of TCP. Offloading anything is tricky in general because the protocol for managing the offload needs to be leaner than the thing being offloaded.
Devout member of this church my entire life. 2 years ago during covid I finally read most of the history of Joseph Smith. Found out it’s a fraud and left.

For having Jesus Christ in its name, I have a hard time believing Jesus is running the board of this corporation and is suggesting billions be spent in investments instead of billions feeding, clothing, housing, and providing healthcare for those in need.

And don’t tell me about their humanitarian efforts. A fraction of their wealth is used on such endeavors.

End of the day, all their leadership cares about is wanting the whole world to volunteer their free time to the local congregation, pay tithing, and do temple ceremonies. Next time you meet a Mormon, ask them to clearly draw a line to what they do in the temple regularly and why that’s what Jesus wants them to do. You’ll see them hit the cognitive dissonance wall.

This is great tech, and I’m really impressed with the quality of the results. I particularly like how the model declines to answer when the context doesn’t answer the question.

One note, though: I’m finding the (mobile) UI very chaotic.
The vertical spacing between blocks of text is irregular. And when submitting a follow-up question, it appears that nothing is happening - when, in fact, a new answer is being generated down below the links. I think revisiting some of the UI design could showcase the tech better.
Same for me. It inches closer every release.
> If a surgery changes their chromosome then they change sex too.

Now you've completely changed your definition in the course of a few minutes, but you still don't want to change your beliefs. Funny how that works. Imagining what your new definition will be, what if you have any of these sex chromosome anomalies, as more than 2 out of every thousand humans do? What if you use gene therapy to change your chromosomes but don't alter your anatomy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_chromosome_anomalies

> What if I tell you I don't care what sex you are or you think you are.

Then why are you making a big deal of trying to define it for others and supporting those trying to legislate who can believe what?
But wouldn't they basically have no choice but to scale up their own workforce if their client's business is booming? It wouldn't be a good look to say "hey actually we can't take your project on because we believe a recession is coming".

Consulting could be even more "boom and bust" than normal companies since consulting budgets might be the first thing to get cut when times get tough.
Blazor Server works well for low-latency Intranet Apps, it's stateful SignalR rendering circuit isn't suitable for laggy Internet Apps where deployments and long running Tabs results in users seeing frequent YSOD's.

Which can be avoided with Blazor WASM that has different trade-offs with poor start times & SEO. Hopefully something that can be resolved with their upcoming Blazor United solution, which I'm assuming means no longer being able to host Blazor WASM's static assets from a CDN.

A while ago I ran into a listing on Ali Express that was selling a large board that interfaced with a computer over USB. The board was I think essentially a USB Hub where you would host a dozen or more GSM Modems.

Here is one example: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832290676842.html

My guess is this is for mostly outbound traffic. I don't know how this would work for incoming. As you probably want users to text with a single number.

I would be interested in trying this out for fun. What model modem are you using?

Some ideas this could be useful for:

1. If you run a home server this could be used as a signaling mechanism for restarts, open/close ports, etc.

2. Control your home automation if internet is down.
> 1Password already has a demo available, and Bitwarden has said they're working on it.

It's a step in the right direction, but I worry that:

A) 1Password seems to be treating the problem as solved just because you can use 1Password on multiple devices. They haven't talked about migrating from 1Password to Bitwarden and back again.

B) As far as I can tell, this seems to be not a part of the spec at all. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like the FIDO alliance is hoping that portability becomes more of a thing, but they're not willing to say "there should be a standardized API for this". And I think that's a huge mistake, saying that every platform will individually build support for every other platform (and that we'll hope platforms will provide these mechanisms in the first place) is a recipe for killing off smaller 3rd-party clients, because they just won't be supported.

> You could get more specific and say the act of logging in with a passkey is phishing-proof, but access to the passkey "wallet" is not necessarily.

That's a really good way of phrasing it; I think I agree there. And yeah, 100% agreed that it's a step in the right direction, I love the core idea behind Passkey, I think it's a massive step forward for security that's hindered by concerns around portability, attestation as DRM, etc, etc...

I think what I'm getting at mostly when I point out that passkeys are not universally phishing proof is that the massive increase in security and phishing-resistance does not go away if there's generic support for migration between services that any 3rd-party platform can hook into. Yes, it's a phishing risk, but it's a phishing risk we've already accepted. Having FIDO mandate portability between ecosystems as part of the standard itself wouldn't get rid of the security benefits you describe.

And I do get people telling me "there can't be APIs for this in the standard because it defeats the entire point, they're no longer phishing-proof"; but I don't think that accurately captures the situation at all, because we already compromised on transfer between devices, they're already not completely phishing-proof. So there could be transfer methods defined by the spec that providers who wanted to say that they're compliant would have to offer, and those transfer methods could have the same security requirements around them that Apple uses when restoring keys to a new iPhone. It doesn't need to be platform-dependent, there could be an open standard around this and it wouldn't ruin the security of the passkeys to have that open standard.

> It shows us that flawed people can lead, and it shows us that our present leaders and politicians may have serious flaws, but that doesn't mean they aren't effective leaders.

If this were the goal, I would embrace it wholeheartedly. I have no problem with historians telling true stories in all their messy details, and I'm fine with removing historical figures from pedestals and showing how they were flawed humans just like those we have today.

What I strongly object to is that in most cases telling and learning from the truth is obviously not the goal: see the massive witch hunts surrounding James Webb. It was never important whether or not the accusations against him were correct, the important thing was to drag another name through the muck in order to score virtue points in modern politics.

The attitude driving most of these incidents isn't one of respectful-but-full disclosure, it's more reminiscent of people in the Middle Ages digging up and mutilating corpses to make a political or religious point.
It's a well-established social norm (at least in the SF world) that money should always flow from publishers to writers, never the other way around.

And that norm worked 25 years ago, barely, when publishers of science fiction magazines had working business models thanks to paid subscribers, newsstand sales, library customers, and advertisers.

Now it's down to paid subscribers, of which there are few, and partnerships with online platforms, which are dwindling (he says Amazon recently discontinued a program that generated revenue for Clarkesworld). Something's got to give. He's dealing with it by shutting off the submissions pipeline, but this publication is truly at risk of going under, which would be a great loss to the SFF community.

Making AI side hustle scams pay for wasting his time is not an ethical lapse if legit authors pay nothing. If he's worried about international submissions or poor writers unable to afford a token fee, set up a scholarship funded by the scammers. An alternative if the pain continues is the publication going under or selling out in a far worse way.
What are the recommendation algorithms?

I've read a couple of articles covering this court case, and the algorithms are talked about, justices have wondered if they are neutral or not. But nobody has asked "What is the algorithm?"

We don't know. It could be code that makes recommendations based on similar users, or it could be someone in a basement picking what to push on people based on some agenda, or the algorithm can use any of those hundreds of advertising categories they sort people into - show white people this video, married people this video, people in this country something else, these voters something over here, make exceptions for famous people or the government or the establishment, what some rich person paid us to push, etc. These algorithms affect everything from pop culture to elections to genocides to school bullies and teenage suicides.

We have no idea what these big tech companies are doing, except that they are the new mass media, they don't want to accept any responsibility for their actions, and profit is more important to them than social externalities.

An egregious and nearly unbelievable oversight on Google's part. :-\

As a developer, it's unimaginable to me to not test the extreme high and low numbers of inputs cases to ensure things look and operate as expected. Especially for a security sensitive UI element.

The chain of humans who've been responsible for developing and testing Chrome Extension functionality and security has been asleep at the wheel this whole time, for something like 15 years.

There are so many risk-reduction controls in place; tons of red tape and umpteen security and privacy reviews required to ship even minor features or updates, yet here we are.

How many hands have been in the pot and not noticed/raised/resolved what amounts to a pretty obvious security vulnerability? And if this kind of issue can fly undetected for so long, what can organizations with drastically less resources than $GOOG do to ensure adequate velocity while not leaving the proverbial barn doors open?

That's usually the understanding everyone has by default, unless you're doing some specific job that requires greater availability (and are compensated for it), or... you're eroding this understanding yourself by doing something unwise, like replying to company e-mails or IMs after hours.

What I said is relevant. The idea of the four-day work week is predicated on the fact that most people participating in the experiment can reduce their working hours to four days with no real effect on society. The fact that people discuss the 4DWW without constantly pointing this out further obscures what exactly it is about "work" that's useful.
