I think over time, maybe in just a year or two, westerners will reach tip burnout. It may not grow to have people choosing not to go out because of tipping, but I think it will have an effect where people become numb to tipping. They will tip the barest minimum, have no guilt about hitting zero at the coffee shop, etc.

Essentially tipflation will cause tip requests to lose any moral obligation. Kind of like when the grocery store asks you to donate $1 to St. Judge. If you press Yes, great! Thank you, but I suspect many of us automatically press no without another thought.

That no without thought will be how people tip in the future...
Except in this case everybody knows that there's a backdoor that can be exploited.
I think so yes, but then some people are talking about cache which means it's not really JIT...
And then even with cache it's blackboxed, you are not sure it's good or that the cache will not be discarded. #OncallNightmare
I just remembered the recent change of hands regarding the director(s?). Makes sense why this is now for publishing
Notably, Propane has almost identical refrigeration characteristics to R-22, so it was an easy drop-in replacement for systems designed for R-22 when that was banned.
Wait a second... is _this_ why the FDA is suddenly cracking down on ADHD telemedicine prescriptions? Another protectionist racket?

Strong disagree. Quick off the top of my head:

Kids today on their laptops have more music tools than a $500,000 studio would have had 20 years ago.

VSCode compared to the tools I used in the 90s blows my mind every day. I'll be like 'hmmm, you know what would be a nice tool/feature' go to marketplace, yep, someone made it and I am now using it 5 minutes after having a thought.

My son moved to a remote location yet can keep in touch with friends and family easily sharing videos/playing games together. I talked to my grandparents once every other month over a poor quality phone call. Cost of communication isn't even a consideration when I reach out to my son today.

In the case of this article,

the application of my broader point would be,

whatever we can say about the utility of LLM to generate intentional or unwitting disinformation,

is already behind the curve. It's essentially a historical note.

Example: Wikipedia has a position statement about LLM. It was done in a hurry by smart people.

It's already woefully out of date.

Things are moving too fast.
Yes. I figured everyone familiar with dating apps knows that Match owns Tinder.
If you can turn that time into money spent and show it to them and the management, it could change.

If in terms of money it’s not significant, for the company it makes no sense to devote costly labour time to speed it up.
Yeah, I actually like the oldest of the three best. The one with 7 css declarations was annoying to me somehow and the third option was garbage. I miss websites that were about conveying information.
How is your entire comment not a mere assumption that the issue is within iMessage itself and not other logically possible factors, such as your carrier, your reception, or your mother using her phone incorrectly? Also, allowing alternative messaging apps to be installed in your OS is exactly the opposite of “flagrant abuse”.
Here is "wokeness" as defined by the lawyer for the leader of the anti-woke brigade:

> Asked what “woke” means more generally, [Desantis’ General Counsel Ryan] Newman said “it would be the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.”

> Taryn Fenske, DeSantis’ Communications Director said “woke” was a “slang term for activism…progressive activism” and a general belief in systemic injustices in the country.

Theoretically, this inherently hyper-political stuff does not belong on HN, yet it's often tolerated here for some reason.
How will that help in the scenario the GP described? The businesses would still have to refund those higher charges.
Does GitLab still reject community PRs to their open-source core that would compete with their paid offerings?

I understand it as “goodbye”. You have a point though.
HEAD is a ref just like any other. What you're looking at after typing `git reflog` is the history of things HEAD has pointed to - it's HEAD's log. Refs don't necessarily have to point to commits, they can point to other objects too.

HEAD@{<N>} is not a ref - it's a rev in <ref>@{<N>} form that means "N positions back in ref's history" (see `man gitrevisions` for more rev forms).

> never by ref

When you look at reflog's output, you've already dereferenced these commits by the given ref and its history.

Try `git reflog <branchname>`.
Presumably the right-most data point is from yesterday (3/1/23). Isn't there a potential flaw here in regards to that most recent data point? Whereas in previous months people had all month to post jobs to the monthly job posting thread, there has only been one day since the 3/1/23 job post thread was started. I think this script should be run on the last day of the month, not the first.
Yes- I've found that deleting the socials (and the associated accounts!) has worked remarkably well on my phone.
Hackernews/Reddit is a sort of meta-commenting engine which adds a lot of context to articles on the web. If you're in doubt about a popular article, check the HN submission for it, and see what people are saying about it.

But I get what you're asking for. A sort of TrustPilot[0] but for the more general web.

“It is a profoundly erroneous truism, repeated by all copy-books and by eminent people when they are making speeches, that we should cultivate the habit of thinking of what we are doing. The precise opposite is the case. Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking about them. Operations of thought are like cavalry charges in a battle — they are strictly limited in number, they require fresh horses, and must only be made at decisive moments.” -Whitehead

The book teaches you the qualities of a pessimist vs an optimist.

For example, a pessimist thinks anything good that happens to them is temporary and impersonal. And they think that anything bad that happens to them is permanent and personal. An optimist is the opposite of that.

So if something good happens, a pessimist will think, “I just got lucky this time. I can’t count on good things happening in the future.” An optimist thinks, “of course I was able to make something good happen! Good things often happen for me.”

Then he teaches you a method similar to cognitive behavioral therapy to record and then dispute your negative thoughts on paper. I followed it for about 5 months and it honestly rewired my brain dramatically for the better.
US Technological Dominance Is Not What It Used to Be
It’s more that they don’t put the high level of refinement into the web experience that they are famous for in their native (Mac/iOS) applications.

Though of course there are plenty of discontents with that. On balance I think the apps that ship with MacOS are much worse than their Windows counterparts. I think iOS on the iPad is truly superior but the settings app is dark pattern city, particularly the notification that never goes away about the Apple TV trial that is about to expire but actually expired years ago.
Yep, very true. Some places are even asking for a tip when I just order for pickup which doesn’t make sense, it’s just a voluntary service charge at that point? As a result I and many others are just going out less. This means less income for those in the service industry, so they might need to charge a bigger tip from those who do choose to dine in. Not a great feedback loop
It's honestly amazing the (double-think/double-speak?)/hypocrisy there is.

People talk about banning TikTok from the west, and the majority of people immediately compare your idea with actions taken by oppressive governments - though the government cites national security reasons for doing it. "That's what China would do, are you a Chinese sympathizer? I thought the country was founded on free speech - why do you want to restrict it?" - completely ignoring the fact that it's an app designed and influenced by a primarily Chinese company which has a separate algorithm that encourages "bread and circus" type content in the west vs hard-working and industrious content in China.

People talk about banning Russian media sources from the west - and the majority of people immediately cheer and welcome such a "well-thought, justified" move it is - while the government cites national security reasons for doing it. "It's justified, we don't want to influence people with disinformation produced by Russian actors and negatively influence our support for Ukraine!" - even though I'm very sure the vast majority of people support Ukraine and the actions of the west to support them, knowing that news agencies literally called "Russia Today" are very likely state owned/controlled/manipulated through various avenues, let alone mentioning the United States having media agencies controlled and influenced by capitalist and (by extension) governmental interests.

Both actions at their very base, remove access to consume and contribute to the free-flow of information.

Both actions are justified by governments with some vague, wish-wash reason of "national security".

It's all in how it's marketed to people by the media and their own governments.

I don't know what the correct answer is - there probably isn't a single sole solution to this.

My personal opinion is that all large-scale social media websites that have a significant amount of their revenue come from advertising should be outright banned from existing in the west.

Doesn't matter who or what they're owned by - just outright banned. The consolidation of social media platforms into "the big #", dominated by advertising and governmental interests, is going to be one of the largest reasons why decentralization is going to only grow in popularity over the coming generations.

I think that summing up religion as something that is unambiguously bad is probably what I'm having trouble with.

It's like saying science was a mistake, when the urge to figure things out appears to be a universal trait of humanity.

According to the following website, the value of the product you're selling is inversely proportional to the effort (including website sugar) you need to put into selling it.

I grew up in a small town with a population of about 2,000. I remember one time I signed up for a website with my real name and city, but didn't want to give my home address so just made up "123 Main St" (my town doesn't have a "Main St"). Sure enough, they sent a spam postcard, addressed to my name @ 123 Main St. The post office, being friendly and knowing who all the residents are, still delivered it to my home, alas...
It's really not that unusual. At major tech companies a sizeable amount of the workforce is on an H1B
This isn’t the same with thinking.

We don't know that.

We know that the exact same objections have been raised before, and have always, without a single exception, proven to be invalid in the long run.
I've said it before, but it needs repeating.

chatGPT is a very confident FICTION generator. Any facts it produces are purely coincidental.

Please stop assuming anything it says it true. It was never designed to do that and it provably doesn't do that.
Oh IDK.

So, if you look at it juuuust right, ELK can be considered as delivering messages … log messages. Normally our ELK system exhibited the behavior I described above: our logging component would make best efforts to ensure that log messages did get delivered. But there was no ID on the log message when it was submitted: double-submission would result in the message getting duplicated. The message was only removed from the queue of messages that needed to be submitted if the ACK was successfully received. The local queue was only so big: if the application continued to log but couldn't submit to ELK, well, it would just discard the messages², so messages might not get delivered period, even when the client was fine, (e.g., during network outages).¹

That was all fine and good (the consequences of a log message getting delivered twice or not delivered under normal circumstances is "whatever").

One day, the team managing ELK misconfigured it, causing all log submission to start failing. This … didn't get detected? (I mean, as a consumer of the service, what are you going to do, log the error?) Worse, some logs were first routed through the local syslog daemon. It decided to log that it couldn't send the message to a local log file, and then retry without backup, and never gave up. (And, of course, there's not log rotation on that local log file.) So we noticed the problem when the disk filled up … and then realized basically every VM in the fleet was doing this. So it felt like ∞] that day.

But yes, mathematically, that bound should be ∞).

¹there is some decent discussion in the thread below my OP about whether this technically counts as "0 deliveries".

²the logic being that crashing due to inability to log is not worth it. It noted the failure on its stderr … but you had to know to look.

Let’s say this did happen, and Netflix responded by moving all their EU traffic to 3rd party CDNs. What then? Would ISPs start going after Akamai and such for the same compensation?

If the media URL is totally opaque (Akamai domain, encrypted binary file) I don’t think they would even be able to prove it’s Netflix traffic.
>there is no 'modern excavation'

They describe the modern technique in the UPenn announcement...

Rather than digging according to architectural construction phases, the Lagash Archaeological Project is using an approach championed by Pisa’s Pizzimenti, who excavates by microstratigraphic layers, thin lens by thin lens horizontally, across a wide swath, “like doing very careful surgery,” Pittman says. “Just 50 centimeters down, we were able to capture all of this. We were happily astounded.”
>> It may not grow to have people choosing not to go out because of tipping.

It did for me personally. It was a huge motivator in learning to cook at home.
Can you provide a source for that last paragraph (the cars uploading GPS traces and cops asking for logs)? I'm interested in knowing more, e.g. which country this happens in, are there any checks and balances, is this constitutional?
Absolutely something that immediately turns me off to a product as well.
The Dogma usually includes statements like "people who don't care about X are part of the problem" and considerable social effort is spent on recruiting more "soldiers" and influencing group norms.

The unaligned are considered "fodder" by the ideologically committed.

Not everyone needs to be recruited. Most people can be kept in line by ensuring everyone knows what the "safe" view is within a specific group and occasionally punishing defectors.
Can news articles/reporters ever quote the actual original court ruling that they use to source their stories? I find it amazingly rare that journalists feel that they should show people where they get the key finding of their story, and rather lazily present their story as if they were the controlling authority and only source of information.

Given how rich the original information is to link to (like, a 200 page PDF ruling), this is a bit of journalistic travesty to leave it out. Compared to how much hearsay they seem to accept as a source in day to day stories, yet go to lengths to name the person's name.

And "For more information on this breaking issue, go to KABC.com!"
Yeah, thanks a lot for that in-depth reporting!

Does anyone know where to find the PDF of this one?

Apple seems to keep spam on iMessage fairly well controlled.

If anyone can do iMessage on any device, it is logical that these protections may weaken over time.
Could a healthy middle ground between doing nothing and banning all social media be banning social media on small mobile devices?

Only allow TikTok and Instagram etc. to be installed on desktop computers, laptops, and maybe tablets?

That way people can use them without being glued to them 24/7?
Ask HN: Building Out Frontends for your tuned/embedded GPT Models?
Hey,

Recently, I realized that I spent quite a bit of time building out frontends for all of my tuned/embedded GPT Models. If anyone else has this problem, I solved it by building out one frontend similar to ChatGPT and plugging in all of backends to it. This way I or people I want to share it with can access it in a more pleasing UI. Let me know if you want me to share and build out a way for others to plugin their backends.
I’d be curious to hear more about your experience with carbon. In particular, what a competitor could do better to make it work :-) We’re building something[1] and we like to think we have our targeting figured out a lot more effectively, any general feedback would be interesting.

I’d really like to be able to build an ecosystem of paid ads that isn’t tracking people around the internet, not injecting Google tracking images, and effective for start ups.

We’re doing this with ML-powered content-based targeting, so in theory we can offer a lot better niche targeting, which is more valuable for startups than large brands who are just doing brand campaigns.

That's not how things work here in the real world. The big company would show to the NLRB that internal discussions of closure began well before any unionization effort, they'd show financials explaining why the store's closing, etc. and the NLRB would happily side with the big guy.
> Is agriculture "unnatural"?

Many species modify their environment intentionally, and some go so far as to engage in a form of farming / animal husbandry. Various ants farm fungi, some species herd aphids for their "honeydew" secretions, pocket gophers cultivate tree roots, etc.

Humans are physical beings, and it is our nature to experience the world through our physical senses. The psychosomatic relationship between our brain and the rest of our nervous system is also well documented (i.e. effects of exercise, gut health and diet on mood, etc).

The digital world is a semi-shared fantasy. The longer you spend there, the more the neglected parts of you will suffer for it.
I worked on JS infra for Google. One thing we found in this space is that when your apps get very large in terms of number of source files, there is a developer-impacting load time cost to the unbundled approach.

That is, your browser loads the entry point file, then parses it for imports and loads the files referenced from there, then parses those for imports and so on. This process is not free. In particular, even when modules are cached, the browser still will make some request with If-Modified-Since header for each file, and even to localhost that has time overhead cost. This impact is greater if you are developing against some cloud dev server because each check costs a network round-trip.

However this may only come up when you have apps with many files, which Google apps tended to do for protobuf reasons.
This is a fantastic post & I love mail art and experimenting with the mail. One thing I learned in the USA is that while a card can be 3x5 (LxW) it cannot be 5x3 (i.e. oriented in "portrait") because the machines aren't set up to read it that way. However, you can add $.20 in additional postage and write "No machine" so they hand-cancel the stamp rather than using the machine. This is useful for any time you don't want them running the letter through the cancelling machine.

At the risk of opening myself up to having postal workers kick in my door and charge me with a federal crime: one experiment I tried was to stamp a postcard addressed to me, cover the address with a card with my friends address on it, shrink-wrapping it and sending it to them. The stamp does not get canceled because of the plastic wrap & the reply can travel back to me on the same stamp. (basically: "yes you can cover a stamp with plastic to avoid cancellation then reuse it.")

One nit I'd pick with the author here is that the address style he uses does not adequately route the letter to him. He states that all the mail in his building goes into one box, so if this were not something he was expecting and it arrived for him, there would be no way to route it to the correct person once it reached the building. I suppose in the more general case, assuming a single family household, this method would work. Cool post in any event!
The same could be said for Disneyland, but it's not an excuse to let Disney engage in lawless conduct as long as it's within the park.
