Just throwing my 2c in the ring: I've been using iRedMail for I want to say 10+ years now. Just simple linux no-frills webmail with nice admin and default webmail. Best part is it is dead simple to set up, the developer is very nice and responsive on his forum and it has been rock-solid. Granted, I don't send a lot of mail from it but it has been running as a journal for many years without issue. I do send some mail from it--mostly from devices--to my gmail and have never had a problem with blacklisting. I think this mostly depends on your IP reputation so your host and how you host it is important.
Not really, but there are ways around it: http://blog.quicklisp.org/2011/08/going-back-in-dist-time.ht...
I don’t disagree with you at all, and your examples only exemplify my point. Someone, somewhere, has to make a decision or the rules need to be changed.

If the competition rules explicitly stated your example above and someone submitted a docx file or link to a google docs, they shouldn’t be allowed. You could argue you used eMacs or vi instead of notepad (as long as you don’t publicly state otherwise). However, it should be pointed out how stupid this rule is and have it changed.

Let’s use a real world example of this- if you apply to a job that only accepts docx resumes, what recourse do you have if they don’t take pdf? You can either not apply, or play by this specific “competition” rules, even if they were made by someone who is nontechnical.
Of course they Intel would say this - direct competitor as they are for the contracts and for the talent. Smart move for the US gov would be to ignore this predictably partisan argument and provide subsidy for domestic and foreign firms alike. TSMC has been coerced into sinking in $40 Billion into US fabs - without US taxpayers cash subsidising some of that investment, it would be hard to see how TSMC would be motivated to make anything in the US
Let’s assume for a moment that the NSA has free unfiltered access to all data in Facebook Twitter Instagram etc.

If you speak ill of the president of the United States… what happens? Nothing much…

Yet if you say the wrong thing on Chinese social media in China you can be arrested.

There’s quite a large difference where one is trying to prevent a terrorist attack while the other is trying to control the commoners.
For example in my hometown subreddit (~ 100k users) I got banned for 90 days for "trolling". I comment there roughly in the same tone that I comment here, so I couldn't tell what it was that had been marked trolling. I messaged the mods, and, as usual, got no reply.
Indeed. But... caps are improving, but slowly. The size difference between say a 100 uf 25V cap today compared to one from the 80's is considerable, and if you add another decade it is hard to believe it is the same component.

By contrast inductors have not changed in size at all and resistors are very much limited by power dissipation.
Of course we should be like Copernicus.

So POSIX as a technology may be lacking but honestly what’s impressive about it to me is that it’s also a standard, not perfect there either, of course.

I think any conversation about replacing POSIX must include an effort to update or replace the standard. Deprecate the parts that no longer work well and add things that other systems have de-facto agreed upon, at least.
i read Us as "plural U" ... as in universities .?.

Mounjaro is not an obesity drug. It's a type 2 diabetes drug. Do not call it an obesity drug.

The headline is editorialized. The linked article's headline: The ‘next Ozempic’ became a social media sensation. Then everything changed

The coupon didn't go away. The coupon's terms changed. I'm using the coupon now. Because I have type 2 diabetes. The coupon changed because people were using it to get the drug for off-label use. The drug wasn't taken away from people trying to lose weight by jacking up the cost. The drug shouldn't have been dispensed in this way to begin with.

Lilly is seeking to get approval of tirzepatide under a different label as a weight loss drug, similar to how Ozempic and Wegovy exist, as well as Victoza and Saxenda.

If you want a GLP-1 RA (this drug class) for weight loss, go get Wegovy or Saxenda, which are a version of these drugs approved for weight loss for those with a BMI over 30, or wait for the tirzepatide version. Leave the diabetes drugs alone.

And to be clear: This drug isn't helping diabetics by helping them lose weight. It helps diabetics regulate blood glucose. It slows the release of glucose from the liver as well as promotes the release of insulin from the pancreas. Weight loss due to slowed stomach emptying is a side effect.
First rule of job hunting is that it's always easier to find a job when you have a job - so lesson learned there: don't quit your job and then go looking for another one. Second rule of job hunting is that you need to be able to demonstrate value. Your potential employer needs to know you will benefit him more than you will cost him. How can he determine that? One way is to look for credentials, your degrees, your experience with previous employers. Another is for them to actually see your work. That might mean taking a job at low pay for them to get a look at you. If you do that, you should have an agreement with the employer ahead of time that if your work is exceptional, then your salary will be increased to a certain amount by a certain date. The onus is not on an employer to give you a "fair shot" it's on you to demonstrate value.
I'm not the author, but I answered it above: any useful program on Android, if you want to use it in a way similar to how you'd use your PC will have to ignore Android's permissions model. That model is useful if your model user is restricted by system administrator to only performing a few tasks (i.e. users don't control their device). That whole idea flies out of the window once you want to do something like copy files or run an FTP server etc.

My guess is that MS Windows or MacOS users will feel more at home with using their Android device because they are more used to the system telling them what they may or may not do. But, to Linux user this feels very user-ugly.

Being in the latter category, I've been oscillating between two states of using my phone: either go all-in, and wipe the OS entirely replacing it with something sensible, or never trust it and don't put any personal data on the phone.

Unfortunately, neither state is really feasible at this point. Living in an almost cash-less society, phone is almost a necessary payment tool (my bank tends to randomly lock my debit card every few months...) I also need to use my phone to authenticate to various government and work-related services. And that requires installing the toxic garbage OS on it.

I wish services like cash payments and identification were provides as public interfaces instead of installable closed-source software... but, unfortunately, it seems like free software world had lost the battle for the phones. At least for now.
The movie wolf of wall st shows Jordan’s “straight line persuasion” technique. i.e. keep the human on a straight line to your end goal of a sale and when they deviate from the straight line correct them back on it. AI will be fantastic at this with no moral dilemma!

These new weight loss medications are the solution to obesity. Imo this is one of the biggest medical advances of the century and at least in urban areas of wealthy countries, I don’t think we’ll see obese people anymore in 10 years.

The pharma companies realized they’ve got something truly revolutionary so they took the old tried and true drug dealer strategy. Get ‘em hooked for free/cheap and then bump the price to capture the value. Can’t say it’s surprising, they’re just following the incentives. And as the link goes through, these drugs have the potential to be worth many billions of dollars over their lifespan.
I fully agree with this. Our dashboard cues you into which tables have rows in them and you can click on them to visualize the rows much like any SQL editor. I find this to be much better than using the AWS console/UI to understand what is in an AWS account. A few people in the community are interested in making cloud visualizations and we will definitely post about those when they happen. The great part of encoding infrastructure in PostgreSQL is that relations between pieces of infrastructure like an EC2 instance, a security group, and a load balancer are encoded naturally as foreign key relations that you can make sense of in a familiar when compared to the AWS console or `depends` clauses in IaC tools.
Makefile > Webshitconfig.json.js
Your story sounds outrageous initially (10 million dollars!) but if this is a 5, 50, maybe 500 billion company, that number isn't so crazy. If it's related to quality control of a manufactured product, large changes in errors would seem to be a significant problem. Moreover, if 12 errors can become 24 in a week and nobody did anything about it, what would prevent 24 from becoming 48, or even more, until hundreds of your metrics were out of line and in total chaos?

I'll also note you don't really explain "error rate of 2%." Do you mean, all 600 data measures are continuous variables, of which, each measured result may be off by 2% (or 2% is the std dev?), or are these discrete or binary measures, of which 2% are entirely wrong?
"PowerShell became a huge reason why Microsoft was able to succeed in the cloud computing market"

um...Really?
I agree. We set goals every year. There always some high-level conceptual things set levels above us. Half the time they don't even apply to our systems. They also have us set personal goals, which are basically meaningless.
I bet that getting the right prompts won't be easy so it will probably fly under the radar and not immediately be detected. You can't search these weights with command-f. Fun times ahead...

A little blog on setting expectations for teams

LMK what you think
80 micromolar is a ridiculously high level to test at. I’m really tired of studies doing this. The public doesn’t understand molarity and that the concentration of almost anything is toxic at 80 uM.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S143846392...

The highest concentration of PFOS type substances we could expect in blood is 6 ng/mL.

The molecular weight of PFOS is 538 g/mol. Use the molarity calculator at https://www.graphpad.com/quickcalcs/molarityform/ to see that that is 11 nanomolar.

The 80 uM amount used in this study is 7272x higher than the highest amount we would expect in the blood.

This isn’t to say that PFOS isn’t bad, it is bad but this looks like the standard university PR department nonsense and researchers using ultra high concentrations looking for a positive result. Honestly this looks like something I would expect an undergrad to do that doesn’t understand concentration.
> this could be solved by teaching philosophy

Plenty of places teach philosophy, including the school I went to in Italy. The only measurable effect is that people feel more self-important because they know the names of long dead people.

(Just to clarify this being the Internet: I don't mean philosophy is in itself useless, just that ambitious programs at the high-school level tend to fall flat unless the student has a lot of intrinsic motivation. Latin, computer science, art history, etc. mostly fall in the same category. A better approach is to stick to the basics and offer those as electives.)

> and logic

Logic done seriously requires a mathematical maturity most high-school students simply don't have. Asking someone to understand models of first-order logic without intuitively grokking what quantifiers are is like asking someone to understand Rust lifetimes without having ever seen malloc. It just doesn't work like that. You'd have better success with stuff like Olympiad problems, but even those require so much training it definitely isn't for everyone.
Or maybe the other people involved are really, genuinely, just as important as him and there's no king, there's a team.

Its human nature to pick out heros, say they did everything by themselves and idolize them. That doesn't mean it's real. It's just a story you're telling yourself.

I've never heard about the people mentioned here, and I don't know anything about semiconductor manufacturing. Except that it's one of the absolute most complicated things humans have ever attempted and there's no way a single person could be the creator of an entire modern processor architecture. So I've been reading through this thread kind of surprised to see people saying this one person did so. But your comment made me realize it's just typical hero worship.

Note: this doesn't belittle the work of anyone. Schumacher is an amazing driver, one of the best in the world. But saying he is responsible for winning formula one races belittles the work of the other people involved, engineers at the top of their game just as much as he is, and yet faceless to most people. He could be exactly the driver he is, or even a hundred times better, and without equally talented engineers behind him he'd still finish in last place. So did he win the races, or did they? Obviously, the answer is that they won together.
Another solution may be to use filtering glasses. Not "blue light glasses" but an FL-41 tint, which can help with migraines, light-sensitive conditions, and circadian rhythm issues[0]. This is a pinkish or amber-ish color tint.

What I find far more concerning is the brief mention in the article about the explosion in outdoor lighting, which is massively disrupting the little remaining wildlife we have left (and nevermind destroying any hope of a glimpse t a dark sky). And there is absolutely zero reason for it other than ignorant wrong ideas that it helps traffic accidents or reduces crime (it does the opposite). Calling it cargo-culting would be kind.

I don't think Microsoft ever believed that HD-DVD was going to beat Blu-Ray. Instead, I think they saw the long view around online video delivery (they had a digital storefront up pretty quickly after the console launched) and backed what they viewed as the losing format in an attempt to split the market and prevent either format from fully establishing itself so that the online transition would happen faster. They also failed to capitalize on the opportunity, largely because they also failed in the personal media player (the Zune was good, but _very_ late to market) and phone markets.
Your brain could be controlling how sick you get – and how you recover
I don't see how to solve this. This is the same root cause that causes people to be 911 truthers or qanon or to vote for clearly nonsense candidates.

It's a lack of critical thinking, and it's an epidemic.

When you have people believing whatever they want on Facebook or whatever because someone makes minimal effort to photoshop something to look like a news post, of course that's something AI can take advantage of.

But it isn't a new problem, and the solution is the same.

But how do you educate a population that is aggressive and resistant to acquiring knowledge?

Insightful commentary you have there comrade. The entire works of Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin refuted by a sharp irony! The increase in the standards of living for millions of empoverished and exploited russians, chinese and cubans refuted by cylinder714 :-).

Show HN: Podcast to Blog Using GPT
I don’t much care if others give themselves cancer via PFAS by lifestyle choices, as long as they’re aware. To that extent, I try to raise awareness by telling people, since a lot are not aware yet.

The fact that others using PFAS impacts us all, since it is distributed into our environment and stays there an incredibly long time, is what makes this issue worth regulating. Similar goes for many other ecological issues (e.g. microplastics).
> Smart people are increasingly checked-out where matters of governance and power are concerned, moving frequently to other nations where they can live in somewhat greater comfort, despite having no involvement in political processes, just as he himself moved to Singapore.

It's a point I have often seen made by people who chose to move to Singapore but I have always seen it as a kind of distortion they setup to justify to themselves choosing money above liberal values. Few want to face the fact that they are mercenaries. Plus, these people tend to gravitate towards the same places and end up amongst each others shielded from the rest of the population.

I don't think it holds true from a general point of view.
Are they any tools you recommend for augmented labeling? The ones I looked at seemed a bit hard to get started with.
Lately LangChain[1] and GPT-Index[2] are very popular libraries for this sort of thing.

This is the vid I started out with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBEHPxVHb5c

Also that channel seems to be great. They focus only on LangChain and GPT-Index lately and post videos every few days https://www.youtube.com/@echohive

Both have Discord servers as well.

Additionally there's also this website for GPT-Index ( https://llamahub.ai/ ) where people add different "connectors", like loading up your .md files, .docx files, your notion, your slack, etc.

Pro tip, you can lose weight for free with no drugs at all.
One still has to evaluate an argument on its merits, regardless of the attractiveness of the interlocutor.

My hope is that conversational AI will sharpen up our critical thinking skills en masse. We need more people getting into the habit of asking "This sounds plausible, but is it actually true? How can I find out?"
“Cmdlets return objects not text, making it easier to access specific components of the returned object”

This is for me the key value of shells like PowerShell.

Uncountable billions of person hours have been wasted parsing the text output of common *nix commands. It’s time to move away from the “everything is text with random formatting” philosophy.
thanks for your comment and support. That's what I'm trying basically to say in every third comment here. Generally, data privacy is a buzz topic since some time and with OpenAI it became even more viral.. It's not about IngestAI or any other SaaS, it's much wider topic and totally agree (thanks!).
I think the sweet spot of text based diagram generators is when the intent is high levels of information delivery at low levels of effort. It is super easy for me to say "a sequence diagram would help convey this concept better" and write up a diagram. Whereas if I had to use a visual tool, it'd be a higher level of effort.

Text based diagrams are also easy to:

* version control

* get feedback on (it's a PR away)

* change

Even though you can style the text based diagrams (see this for plantuml styling: https://plantuml.com/style-evolution ) for a cohesive look and feel, visual based editors are still going to win out. I use them for free form diagrams and also presentations.
Microneedles count as a prick.
This is a rough time to be looking for entry level work, anecdotal evidence indicates that new postings get hundreds of applications. It is hard to stand out.

Advice I have given to others in your exact scenario is (if possible) to take advantage of your prior career and look for jobs that would value your expertise. For example: If you worked in restaurant management look for software companies that are making products for small businesses in that space.

I can tell you that from administering interviews most developers only know development and don't have a lot of knowledge of WHY the software they are writing does what it does. This can be a big benefit to showcase in the interview.

Assuming the teacher was a reasonable person, I would have expectations that they would tell the children to make changes before denying them. There were many paths the teacher could have chose to teach (and learn!) that they chose not to, and resulted in their reasoning by exercising ignorance and disqualification of these students.

There’s a problematic trend of picking a chemical or two to complain about and having the industry make an effort to avoid that particular chemical, even if there is no reason to expect that its replacement is better.

For example, BPA in polycarbonate is being replaced with very closely related compounds that could be worse. And companies are apparently replacing PFOA and PFOS with “GenX”, the compound found to be problematic here.

Every time I see something “BPA-free” or “PFOS-free” I shudder a bit. It’s a worse-than-useless statement.

People aren’t stupid. Mounjaro is the most effective weight loss drug in existence. Better than wegovy and the other brand name semaglutides. If you think FDA approval is going to stop people from wanting and getting it you’re sorely mistaken.
> The letter isn't coherent, and I think people are reacting to that.

I don't agree about the quality of the article, but it's the "hate" (your word) I was reacting to when I made my comment. Some of the reactions here are genuinely over the top. Add in the fact that the author of the ACM piece knows the POSIX subject matter a lot better than the people commenting, and it's just... classic late stage hn, I guess.
