The costs paid are based on the “Streitwert” which in this case would likely be the 10k. There’s tables to look up the lawyer fee and the court fee. A good lawyer may demand more, but you’re still likely to come out ahead if you win.

You’ll likely also be awarded interest and the court-appointed interest rates are nothing to sneeze at (they’re based on the banks base interest rate plus a few percent)

Edit: went and looked it up: Interest is applied from the point when the defendant received the court papers and is currently the base rate plus 5 or 9 percent points.

> The pipe operator, |>, passes the output of a function to the first argument of the next function. So, instead of writing something like:

foo(bar(baz(new_function(other_function(my_input)))))

You have the option to write:

my_input
|> other_function()
|> new_function()
|> baz()
|> bar()
|> foo()

The readability benefit is clear - you don't have to read the code "backwards" to understand what it really does.

—- (end of snippet)

This is a nice example of fixing a problem that does not need be there at all.

Just use intermediate variables instead of doing clever stuff. Benefits:

- 1 way of doing stuff

- variable names will help readers understand the intention of the function calls

- you can do explicit error handling for each call

Note: in contrast, in shell prompts the pipe operator is useful because:

- less typing counts here

- prompts are use-once mostly, maybe repeated (history & scripts), but readability is not a mayor concern

- commands deal with large amount of data often, hence storing in intermediate variables can be expensive or even impossible.

None of these points are valid for a programming language. (Unless of course you just fancy the syntax)

Btw I find the joke about “bearded wizards” not very inclusive towards women. It feels assuming that only men (can) be that wizardry.
Use your time to help FLOSS projects with infrastructure pro-bono? (You mention "compensation package" but have you considered focusing on something not for the sake of money?)
Oh yeah, good points. And citations! Thanks so much, really appreciated.

I'm doing work currently on this and hopefully it will yield some fruit -- at least, the work relating on the internals of what's happening inside of Transformers. Just from slowly absorbing the research over the years I have a few gut hypotheses about what is happening. Hopefully any of the work I do will yield some fruit, I think a good chunk of what is happening is surprisingly standard, just hidden due to the complexity of millions of parameters slinging information hither and yon.

Thanks again for putting all of the thought and effort into your post, I really appreciate it. This is something I love about being here in this particular place! :D
Touch typing seem like a useless skill to me. I use keyboard more for navigation than actual typing. I read many times more code than I write.

And when I write I just need to see the keyboard with the corner of my eye and my fingers just find the right keys as I'm pecking, purely through muscle memory that I've gained with zero effort just by years of experience.

As someone who has to do that (one work account with my company, one with our customer) the UX is miserable. Notifications work sometimes, delay can be significant and I don’t trust the auto-away feature when Teams run in a browser.

Multi-accounts are really painful with most chat clients I have encountered. It sometimes makes me miss e-mail where the inside/outside distinction doesn’t exist.
I had 2 mojang accounts for my kids, attached to 2 separate Java game licenses (because i couldn't buy 2 licenses for 1 account) used on Linux. When Microsoft forced the authentication conversion, I had to disassociate 1 of the 2 emails from the combined MS account (that I had worked really hard to combine in 2020) reincarnate that email as a separate MS account, associate it with the separate Mojang account (because MS also has no way of supporting 2 licenses on 1 MS account, even if the account listed multiple emails) and then I was promptly banned by Microsoft for breach of TOS, whatever that might have been. 12 hours later and a dozen support contacts to Mojang, I was unbanned... but my kids didn't play Minecraft that day.

To any MS/Mojang folks lurking,- great game but the authentication merge was an unforced error.
What's the alternative to process and knowledge sharing then? If you allow heroism to run rampant in your company you basically guarantee it will die just because a single employee quits, because all areas of the company are rife with single points of failure.

I disagree. The new 16" Macbook Pro design introduced in 2021 has fantastic speakers. They sound extremely good, and I'm not sure I would hear the difference to my 3.5" studio monitors in a blind test (assuming you volume match them).

I don't know how they are doing it, but listening to those speakers seems unreal. I opened the Macbook to look at them, the speakers look pretty big and they seem to have a long resonance channel, and I think they are glued to the aluminium chassis which appears sturdier than any previous Mac I've opened.

They are optimized to sound best when you are sitting in front of your laptop, and the volume is of course limited, but there is nothing "cardboard box" like about the new Macbook Pro's speakers.
I suspect it's because the building leases are measured in years but the HR contracts are measured in months...

But at least when posts about major tech companies' customer service fiascos show up here, there is the opportunity to discuss it and shame them into doing better.

If these kinds of posts are disallowed here, the companies are not going to go: "Oh, our customers cannot get redress on Hacker News, so we better improve our internal customer service processes". They are screwing up their customers regardless of where redress is to be found or not.

Maybe this is a startup opportunity: pay a fee to have your issues with company X broadcast on the social media that will be most embarrassing to them; hopefully you get redress soon.
Is this more for planespotters? I had been thinking for a while, I would love a source to find shops / cafes etc in an airport.
I wonder if this is an American/British cultural divide thing.
Except they don't? I hate the speaker sound on the Mac I use for work.

Unless "so good" in the title means "not as awful as other shitty laptop speakers", but even that is a poor statement, when the text in the link makes only mentions some vaguely interesting technical musings, without comparing it to anything else.

The way the title is written makes it sound just like any other inane data point of people gushing over Macs.
I never had heard of this before lol and 5 minutes ago wondered where it was at so I searched it up and found this. For what it matters I'm sorry people are like that. Posting on Febuary 25th 2023 at 7:28 EST from NE Ohio
How so, tree's provide value so how is it a scam?
This is off topic. Nobody is worshipping AI here. Take your rebuttal to a thread where they are actually doing this. It's more relevant there.

But I bet you'd have a hard time finding that thread because most people on the other end of your spectrum are like me. Simply questioning it. The "madness" your seeing is not the majority behavior.

>First of all, on the personal level: mh. On the substance: you can take the term "intelligence" to make it mean whatever suits some wish to call anything intelligent, but it remains finally operationally irrelevant.

No need to get pedantic about the word. We all know what intelligence is without getting pedantic. I am making my point categorically clear: you do not know if chatGPT is intelligent or not.

>If it is there, it is not substantially expressed. If there are minority workings, they remain drowned. The final effect is that of definite unintelligence.

An ant displays intelligence as does a human with brain damage as does a human without brain damage. Given the vast scope of the word, it is a relatively tame statement to say that for chatGPT we simply don't know how similar it's intelligence is to human intelligence.

That^ is the obvious heart of the matter.

This is run of the mill school procedure though. At least in the US. In my high-school ,circa 2008, the same rule would and has been applied to suspended students,regardless of the reasontheyweresuspended. I agree law enforcement action against students is a problematic, and I offer no solution. However, the tone of your comment feels eh.. Like it's trying to say something without saying it. Apologies if I'm misreading it.

There are always going to be touchy subjects as social and cultural history moves forward. I knew a few kids that got suspended for threatening to blow up the school after 9/11.

Sucks that kids can't make mistakes without overblown consequences, though.
This is likely related to the significant decrease in gut bacteria (of all kinds good and bad) on a low carbohydrate diet, and a corresponding decrease in intestinal permeability.

Another proposed mechanism is inadvertent calorie restriction, which is common on high protein diets (because protein is so satiating), and on diets with few foods (because eating the same thing is boring). The effects of fasting on autoimmune diseases are well documented. It's thought that calorie restriction may be sufficiently similar.
I’ve encountered the same thing. I’m a terrible programmer but find f# way clearer than most C#/java. But I work with tons of great developers who would rather cut off their finger than learn f#, it bothers me because it exposes some fundamental difference between us I dont like to believe exists.

> I am convinced that Software Engineering is more of an art than an engineering practice.

Back in 2010, Monash University’s Bachelor of Software Engineering had a unit ENG1061 Engineering Profession mandatory for the degree (for a terrible reason: Engineers Australia accreditation of the degree, which no one that I ever talked to cared about in the slightest). The first lecture listed The 17 Branches of Engineering. Guess what wasn’t one of them. It went downhill from there.
Ask HN: Home Server Setup?
I’d like to build a machine learning server for home experiments (I briefly considered cloud providers but I want to get back building a pc from scratch, that’s part of the project). These will be mostly training midsize models and experiment with automl. With a 3090/4090 I may even get to work on larger datasets etc…

My main problem is space in the house. I’m planning to place the cabinet next to the broadband router and connect it through ethernet. However there’s no room for a desk and monitor over there.

Hence the idea of using the pc headless and connect to it from a laptop on the same network.

What’s the best way to go in this case? Simply ssh into the machine and work? A fancy solution like anydesk or even a proxmox cluster?

This is a hobby project so I’m happy to experiment. Also, suggestions on the best GPU? I’m leaning toward either RTX3090 or 4090 on the basis of VRAM only.

> I don't like the idea that unless I'm cliqued up on YouTube, Twitter and HackerNews I "deserve" to get screwed.

I don't either, but that's such a fundamental part of the human condition I have no hope of it changing before I die and I couldn't afford to lose $10k.

Also, oftentimes pressure from an individual case can lead to fixes to an automated system. It seems like we do better when we can put a face and a story to a problem.
Is this post part of a longer one? Because after reading it I still don't understand a thing.

This whole posts lacks arguments and reads like a lot of text to say "This is not what I wanted and I'm sure all the people enjoying it hate it without knowing yet". She complains about how a solution to a problem is bad, but the next paragraph is about how that solution is not applied radical enough. I don't think she knows exactly what makes her so angry about the world herself.
As somebody who worked in IT before and who had to wrestle a bit with policy in the past - I recommend you don't see your work MacBook as your "own computer". Because it's not.
The company shouldn't restrict you from doing your job and reasonable and competent IT departments know which users needs what access (including root access) to perform their role, but they do also have a duty to the company and its equipment and frankly have the right and resoanable need to install admin tooling.

Try and see it from their perspective.
You still have to use the official launcher that requires online connection to play the game you own (twice), right?
well, at that point they might as well not implement it, as it will be well and truly useless
The speakers are amazing on my M1. I'm constantly surprised how beefy bass and clean sound they can produce. Don't recall them being so great on my previous MacBooks though.
That sounds like something a warranty repair should cover.
Neat, but with the usual USA-centricism: Despite the map starting at Frankfurt (the one in the west of Germany), and me being in Berlin (the one in the east of Germany) the first result for "Berlin" was the one in New Hampshire, USA.
Since you will be working on machine learning projects I believe running a Jupyter notebook server on the server might make sense? And ssh into that to manage stuff. Streaming UI seems an overkill. In case you want to show anything hosted on your server to the public you can use https://pinggy.io [Full Disclosure - I am building this.]

Choosing between Bun and Deno for your next front-end project will depend on your specific needs and preferences. Both Bun and Deno are modern JavaScript frameworks that offer some unique features and advantages.

Bun is a lightweight and fast front-end framework that uses a virtual DOM and provides a component-based architecture. It is highly performant and efficient, making it a good choice for building fast and responsive web applications. It also has a small codebase and is easy to learn and use.

On the other hand, Deno is a secure runtime environment for JavaScript and TypeScript that allows you to build both front-end and back-end applications using a modular and scalable approach. It offers built-in support for TypeScript, which makes it a good choice if you prefer strong typing and want to write more secure and maintainable code.

Ultimately, the choice between Bun and Deno will depend on your specific project requirements and personal preferences. Consider factors such as performance, ease of use, community support, and compatibility with existing tools and technologies when making your decision. It may also be helpful to try out both frameworks and see which one feels like a better fit for your project.
I see you've made two submissions on telemetry, the LLDB one (which seems reasonable, opt-in, I've not seen before), and the one for Go (opt-out, makes some people cross). Is this for contrast? Or "look everyone is doing it"?
The data is from OpenStreetMap. That has a ton of data inside airports that we frequently make use of, including things like water fountains and toilets. One thing that is a bit difficult is determining whether something is before or after security, though. Depends on the airport and how well you know it.

You can use an app like Organic Maps (formerly Maps.me) or Osmand to access it.

SIGINT is valuable even if you can’t decrypt the contents, in fact when you can it’s usually COMMINT.

SIGINT provides you with other valuable information such as frequencies used, cadence and also allows you to uncover new locations of forces and installations.

Also governments still use a lot of unencrypted or partially encrypted communications - cellphones are a great example even if voice and data is encrypted the cell ID and other valuable metadata isn’t.
If your web page has to reimplement basic web browser functionality, like scrolling, or the back button, or linking, you have strayed far from the path to wisdom.
Least squares fitting of template spectrums is, umm, pretty simple for rough and ready results.

Given the 2048 channel spectrum emitted per source sample, someone might want to scan across a line or grid scan an area and really sharpen up the combined spectral data from 10's of thousands of samples by using a technique from gamma ray environment mapping down shifted to the visible spectrum.

Sure, but how can you be sure that the takeaway is a „good“ one now? Maybe the author of this thread was ill intended, left out important details etc. Stories like these are really hard to assess without some more research.

When I say it tells me something, I mean I get a first impression. I do not get a significant amount of information to have a settled opinion.
I had the same problem recently. Just ended up buying a new computer just for work stuff. They pay me a lot so I can afford to buy M1 Air which is still really really fast.

Is it ecological? No. But the compliance beast must be fed. So fine.

I very much wish the article gave us the pleasure of reading some of the arguments that Ms Koch made that ameliorated her family’s funding of climate change denial. Enjoy the profits of climate change for ~40 years, rebrand once you’ve made your money—kinda genius.

Quickbooks has taken almost $2000 of money, that my client paid for work done, for more than a year now.

I registered for, and received the payment through, their merchant account, but later found out I did not qualify for it since I was not in the US. I understand if their fraud detection systems flagged something, but all they needed to do was to talk to the client and verify that it was a legitimate payment.

They have refused to release the money to me, or to send it back to the client. They also disabled all my Intuit accounts, some of which I had paid a subscription for.

The future of digital culture is likely to be shaped by ongoing technological advancements and their impact on society, including the ways we interact with each other, consume information, and create and share content. As digital technologies become more ubiquitous and integrated into our daily lives, it is important for humans to be prepared to navigate and thrive in this rapidly evolving landscape.

Here are a few key things to consider when thinking about how to prepare for the future of digital culture:

Digital literacy: In order to thrive in a digital culture, it is important to have a solid understanding of how digital technologies work, as well as the skills to use them effectively. This includes basic digital literacy skills like using a computer, navigating the internet, and using social media, as well as more advanced skills like coding, data analysis, and digital marketing.

Cybersecurity: As we become more reliant on digital technologies, it is also important to be aware of the risks and vulnerabilities associated with these systems. This includes understanding how to protect your personal information, how to identify and avoid online scams and phishing attacks, and how to secure your devices and networks from cyber threats.
Digital ethics: As the lines between the digital and physical worlds continue to blur, it is also important to consider the ethical implications of our digital interactions and behaviors. This includes issues like online privacy, data ownership and control, and the impact of digital technologies on our social and political systems.

Adaptability: Finally, in order to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital culture, it is important to remain adaptable and open to change. This means being willing to learn new skills, experiment with new technologies, and embrace new ways of thinking and working.
By cultivating these skills and mindsets, humans can prepare to navigate and thrive in the ever-changing landscape of digital culture.
