>In a just society, he wouldn't have turned out the way he did to begin with. You know, because Gotham, and his world, wouldn't be fucked up the way it is.

Except... Gotham being what it is, Bruce Wayne isn't the only person to have lost loved ones, even parents, to criminal violence. Other people learn to deal with it and move on with their lives. It seems to be just Batman and the Joker who feel society owes them a blood debt for the pain it caused them.

> But nobody here is arguing that police should be able to do whatever they want, whenever they want, just because, hell, they felt like it. That's not what's meant by "cracking a few eggs".

OK, but that is essentially what the idiom it seems to be drawing from means - "if you want to make an omlette, you have to crack a few eggs," implies breaking the law and/or people to get something done. It's just a prosaic way of saying the ends justify the means.

And anyway, for the most part, police do do whatever they want, whenever they want, just because, hell, they feel like it. And QI lets them get away with it.

>The argument is that mandatory strict adherence to every possible law at all times, is possibly not the best way to combat crime perpetrated by criminals who by definition are disregarding the law.

If mandatory strict adherence to every possible law at all times makes it impossible for the police to fight crime, then maybe the problem is there are too many laws, and they're too strict. Because remember, the police don't chase criminals, they chase suspects assumed innocent until proven guilty by a court.

We're not even talking about high speed chases, crimes committed in undercover work, property damage, shooting dogs, no-knock warrants or any of the extralegal things police do that put the public in danger for the ostensible greater public good. We're talking about a Facebook parody. The police could have just, you know, had it flagged or something. But they chose violence because the police always choose violence. Maybe when they're obviously wrong, they for pay for it.
Money was cheap. I am sure there are many more reasons but in my opinion it all stems from how cheap money was. The great experiment is still unfolding and I am not entirely sure how much the VC -> Startup relationship will change.
Good quality, good materials, matte screens, great keyboards, usually very linux compatible, durable, user raplacable parts (atleast in older models)... basically a very capable (although expensive) business laptop. You also have the dell xps series and the old HP probooks, but that's about it. (of course I'm talking about the business class laptops, so thnkpads, mostly T and somewhat X series, since lenovo also produces cheap crap).

Also, they used to be made by IBM "back in the day", until the chinese bought the brand and designs.
You haven’t ruled out ghosts.
Hi, Ambient CPTO here; We're using wgpu (a rust crate), which supports a number of different backends, including Vulcan and WebGL (and Directx, WebGPU, Metal).

We're VC backed, which is how we finance the project right now. Long term we plan to monetize additional (optional) services around Ambient, such as game servers.

I apologize, never was a gross exaggeration. I almost always bring enough water. But then there are times you don't... I've obviously never misstepped enough to die or suffer serious dehydration. But for safety you'd need far more than enough, right? If you go off trail suddenly enough becomes half what you need. Or you get hurt and can't move well. This is where the water typically becomes not nearly enough.
Cyberwar Lessons from the War in Ukraine
I'm having a pointless argument with someone a billion subthreads deep on Hacker News. Of course it's neither relevant not productive. Stupid I'll grant you, but I've had an annoying morning and this is apparently how I'm choosing to waste a few minutes before I go on to the next thing. Presumably I'm getting something out of it, but God alone knows what. So it goes.
I can absolutely believe that. In general I wouldn't want to guess which behaviours are in each category, but from e.g. the things dogs and cats do that seem fundamentally weird to humans and vice versa, I expect many genetic behaviours to exist.

Going upthread a bit, I would expect tagging to be genetic, as it seems similar to other territorial markings created by other species. But I don't expect e.g. the specific shapes of Futhark runes to be, as the straight edges look like merely the easiest shapes to carve into rock and other writing systems aren't limited to those shapes even when (e.g. Egyptian hieroglyphics) they are carved.
I don't remember game ports on any of the Thinkpads (I worked for IBM at the time and serviced a lot of the very early 700's and 710's).

They had parallel ports, DB9 serial, DB15 VGA, and a couple of PCMCIA/PCCARD slots, IIRC.

Game ports were DB15, and as the Thinkpads were squarely targeted at business users, taking up the real estate for a "game" port would seem unlikely, and possibly even a turn off for buyers of that era.

At some point internal modem's and NICs came along, but I think we might have been out of the 90's by the time that happened. I remember juggling an analog modem, 10Mbps Ethernet and 4/16Mbps Token ring PCMCIA card, depending on what I was doing at the moment.
You are free to keep believing tabloids and being skeptical of the government. I will continue to be appropriately skeptical of both.

Idk, that looks fairly standard to me. A lot of people like to space out their HTML so it's easier to read, myself included.
ThinkPad was originally an IBM line of laptops, which they later sold to Lenovo when they got out of the PC business.

ThinkPads had a reputation for being durable, but also somewhat repairable, so something of a DIY laptop community developed around hacking on ThinkPads more than any other laptop brand. This is clearly the market that Framework wants to appeal to.
While personally I got started with Lisp through the OpenCourseWare Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs videos (and working through the book using Guile), you could also try Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation (<https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/LispBook/>). For Common Lisp I would recommend using SBCL, it is a very high quality and popular implementation.

Additional resources I would recommend:

For Common Lisp: CLiki, the Common Lisp wiki: <https://cliki.net/>

For Scheme: Either the R7RS or R6RS documentation depending on which implementation you choose (Chez and Loko use R6RS, Gauche uses R7RS, and Guile can use either): <https://standards.scheme.org/>
This has some potential. However the AI really has a tendancy to want to make a complete story at each step. I was using the default prompt about finding a treasure map and going on a journey, but the first mid/outline node would always have them find the map, and then say they went on the journey and found the treasure before any of the other nodes about things happening along the journey could happen.

Also several times the text node came out completely garbled? :

This is newsworthy not because a small twin went down but because the business using it was working on the Ohio tragedy.

There are more than 4 fatal general aviation accidents per week.

Over the past 2 decades, here have been roughly 2 fatalities from 1.25 fatal accidents for every 100,000 flight hours in general aviation, with 260 accidents per year. There are roughly 0.05 fatalities from 0.005 fatal accidents for every 100,000 flight hours on airlines, with an average of 1 accident per year:

https://www.bts.gov/content/us-general-aviationa-safety-data

https://www.bts.gov/content/us-air-carrier-safety-data

Comparatively, there have been an average of 1.2 fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles, or (generously assuming 60 mph) 0.07 fatalities per 100,000 hours.

Taking a general aviation flight is 30x riskier than driving a car for an hour. Taking an airline flight is a little safer than driving for an hour.

I'd not run these numbers before, I knew it was higher but not that high. It'll make me think twice when our partner business offers to fly me out to work on one of their machines that's several hours away. I'm specifically thinking of the 20 hours of driving I did last week from Michigan to Tennessee; I think there's a ratio of drunk drivers on rural roads at night versus daytime highway miles that's not captured, but it's not what I thought it was!
for me chatgpt is 10x more efficient than searching stack overflow. I use it daily and helps speed my dev so much. It's super helpful for tedious stuff like date transforms (pst to utc) or random array filters (ex filter array of objects on this field and remove duplicates) etc.

My most recent query from yesterday ways "iterate over a nodejs array, the array has 10 or less elements. The increment should be in chunks of two. Stop when the index is bigger than 10, or when there are no more elements"

I can figure this stuff out myself too, but with chatgpt, I can query it and come back in 20 seconds and use whatever the output is. 95% of the time is correct, and the rest I can just quickly fix it myself. Plus i can ask follow on questions and refine it even more. This stuff would have taken me 5+ mins looking over stack overflow and then coding it and testing it. Plus ChatGpt handles edge case so I don't have to worry about them.

The efficiency is much much better than SO. I can't imagine going back to Google or SO for any coding questions. I only wish they kept the service up more during the day time. It's available in the morning or at night, but most afternoons it's a hit or miss.
Mostly due to the IBM legacy - the original thinkpad laptops where great mobile workstations. Some of that DNA remains (sadly not the original long-travel (by today's laptop standards) keyboards.

e-beam litho just seems strange to me since electron beam 3D printing is just as fast as using lasers, so clearly the scanning part isn't the bottleneck. What is the bottleneck in this case?
I won’t take that bet; I agree that they could.

I just don’t think that counts as “learning rust”. Which means that now we’re arguing over semantics.
Maybe I don't know how Twitter works, but I didn't manage to find a single personal attack or judgement on her character from the Tweet replies or from the comments here. The responses were rather on the contrary, enforcing her view with some anecdotal testimonies etc. This is a bit surprising given the provoking nature of her initial comment (calling peoples engineering roles bullshit)..

So what exactly are you talking about?

> It was economic, but the common theory is that the totalitarian system was so inefficient that this caused the economic factors that made the system collapse, and that a free-market system would have avoided this.

That common theory is too simplistic. Soviet leaders (Gorbachev most notably) have said it themselves, the Union came crashing down economically in big part due to Chernobyl. Without the massive expenses associated with the coverup and cleanup of this disaster (which could have happened everywhere, plenty of capitalist and authoritarian countries have seen terrible corner cutting resulting in massive accidents), the Union could have lingered for who knows how long.
How Do Millionaires Invest Their Money?
This always seems obvious to me with F2P games. They create more and more complicated measures to detect cheats, but when it cost nothing (except an SMS service now I guess) to spin up a new account you aren't getting anywhere.

The old business model of just charging a lot of money up front for the game seems like it wouldn't have this problem to the same extent. You just ban their key and they're out $20-60. But that business model is less popular now I guess.

I wanted to open an alternative to gmail where users can use their domains and open several mailboxes for a small fee but when searching for solutions I always end up with dovcot scaling which is hard or expansive. What I am searching for is some solution where the mailbox can store large attachments on S3 / b2 and maybe also email content and just index the inbox on a local DB / Redis. Is there something like this available open source?

I. Template engine websites, tools, and sites that

So the fact that you hosted it on Github disqualifies you. Regardless of whether you used their jekyll engine. I would immediately resubmit it from a shared hosting provider or by setting up an S3+CloudFront static site.

They also had unique innovations that few other laptops had: a finger joystick for a mouse, an overhead keyboard light (before we had glowing keys), expanding keyboards for small models, etc.
To me it is the keyboard. I just don't like any other on a notebook, excluding gaming notebooks with full mechanical keyboards.

Plus they are the best thing ever you can buy used. Cheap, robust and better than anything you could buy for the same money.

The only thing I really take away from the UNIX philosophy nowadays (I used to be a dyed in the wool fan of UNIX/Linux) is #1) do one thing and do it well. I see #2 as an ideal goal to reach but not always required. And #3 is nowadays untenable for me. If we can agree on an object exchange format (something PowerShell seem to have solved in part), then we can do much much more than relying on text streams.

The CIA did the exact same thing with KMT soldiers in Burma smuggling heroin in the 1970s. It's in The Politics of Heroin by Alfred McCoy. A great book if you want to understand the interplay between intelligence agencies and drug dealers.

Then they exchanged heroin for fake heroin and burned the fake heroin for US journalists. There is nothing new under in the sun in our stupid war on drugs.
Not sure about a semiconductor company in the SF Bay Area but when it comes to fabs my (possibly controversial) take on this that there are already plenty of superfund sites from the old times there and it's probably better to reuse them instead of contaminating more land.

I'm also not sure if we will really see a manufacturing renaissance but if we do I bet it will go hand in hand with a lowering in environmental standards.

There are ongoing discussions and efforts to regulate AI research, but there are several challenges in doing so effectively.

One challenge is that AI research is a rapidly evolving field, and new developments can quickly outpace existing regulations. It can be difficult to anticipate the risks and implications of new AI technologies before they are widely deployed.

Another challenge is that AI research is often conducted by private companies or organizations, and they may prioritize commercial interests over ethical considerations. Regulating AI research could limit innovation and economic growth, which is a concern for many policymakers.

Furthermore, there is a lack of consensus on what exactly should be regulated in AI research. Different stakeholders have different opinions on what types of AI applications are ethical and safe, and what types of regulations are appropriate.

It is pretty simple to summarize the constraints of your codebase and ask for a conceptual solution, I find this much more useful than generating code.

Similarly, I've saved hours or days on bug investigations by describing the bug and letting gpt guess why I couldn't reproduce it, and it was right.

I can certainly believe a significant productivity drop.

On one hand, people use their work phones for personal stuff too... on the other hand, some politicians have used tiktok before to either spread propaganda, brag about stuff, try to influence voters, etc.

For example, our (slovenian) former president is "famous" for using instagram a lot ( [1][2] ), but since instagram is american and american three-letter agencies get the data, that's ok, but if the chinese do it, it's bad.

Reminds me of my cryptography class in college. Before taking the class I had written a peer to peer encrypted messaging tool for fun and to learn about encryption. It had its own handshake, custom RSA, AES, ephemeral messages, tooling to discover peers...

Anyway in the last year of my CS degree I had a class on encryption, got barely a passing grade on the exam. One of the questions I remember was "What color is the lock in the address bar of Google Chrome that indicates a website is encrypted?", there were a bunch of others like that.

I dunno, this makes me feel weird. So far I've tried AI for programming assistance but every time I do, the results are disappointing and I give up. Yet I hear from others that it's made a huge difference and been a massive boost to their productivity. I don't know how to reconcile these two very different experiences. I worry that I might be getting old and will be left behind by not understanding how to master these new tools.

Specifically, I have a colleague I respect a lot. He is an excellent programmer. He now routinely asks ChatGPT for things and claims it's a big help. Yesterday I was wondering out loud what the difference was between two very similarly named properties in a config file, and he immediately logged on to ChatGPT and asked it. I read the answer and became suspicious because the explanation was what you'd expect the difference to be given the different names, but it didn't make any sense when you thought about it carefully. I typed a similar query into Google and the first result was a detailed and correct Stack Overflow answer. Now I'm quietly wondering about the other cases where he used ChatGPT to help him write code. When I tried ChatGPT to get library recommendations per tasks, it would often recommend libraries that sounded like they should exist but didn't.

Other people say they use Copilot and it's a huge boost. I tried it when it first came out. It kept suggesting huge blocks of code that were just nonsense, in a very irritating over-enthusiastic-girlfriend-meme sort of way. I found it was slower to try and work with Copilot constantly checking its answers than it was to just rely on the IDE autocomplete and type system (which are quite good in the language I'm using). Also I found that carefully reviewing its suggestions was somehow more tiring than just writing the code myself.

Finally, when I look at the bugs and things I've had to do lately, it's hard to imagine (current gen) AI helping. Everything is a bunch of small changes all over the codebase, often quite subtle and in response to complicated bug reports. Who are these programmers who are blasting out boilerplate all day where AI never makes mistakes?
Some bureaucrats want likes and publicity more than they want their jobs. They want to become a publishers because they're closer to the action than any reporting company would ever be.
