I'm really not sure anybody thinks this is new. I certainly don't; I'm old enough to have worn a tie to work. I hated it.

Reading through the comments I don't get the impression anybody else thinks it's new either. It reads like you're just looking for reasons to insult people. That's a shame.

If you want to seek out jobs where remote conferencing is eschewed and nobody sees each others' faces, I think that's valid. I won't insult you.

For me there is a strong positive mental health component to having at least some brief human contact with my coworkers, even if it's just Zoom. However quite honestly 15 minutes a day is plenty for me usually... I am much closer to feeling like you than the "return to office" advocates, that is certain.

I hope that as individuals and as a society we can get to a point where we accept that some people want to work remotely and anonymously, some want to work in offices, and many prefer someplace in the middle. When we accept this maybe we can stop insulting people who feel differently.

They’re probably thibking of something like: I buy x seats or x installs for $A/month.

I charge a one time fee of $B to people to use in perpetuity, but require that when they’re not actively using it (or build it into my resell layer software) that a seat is released for someone else.

The assumption is that even though people pay the lifetime fee they won’t actually use it for a lifetime. Some might use it for 20 years and some for 5 days.

In that margin you hope to make a profit where SUM($B) > SUM($A).

Most of finance is financial products that look like this in one way or another.

Nobody is calling me out on the merits of point. They are just okay as long as it doesn't back fire them. In this case, the seniors are okay as long as they are not questioned on the estimates.

The team has a culture of not snitching on managers. So till now no one (including me) has pointed to manager that there is an issue. I don't think if any one called out then he would care also.
I’m not sure why this is a top post. The definitions of controller and operator are completely wrong. The example code is for creating a custom api server which is only done in the most advanced of advanced use cases. The implementation of the apiserver is too naive to demonstrate they have any understanding of the complexity that supporting watch will cause.

The second law only applies to thermodynamic entropy, which has to do with the variety of ways that energy can be distributed among microstates (like maybe this electron is excited to 2 eV and that one is excited 3 eV) for a given microstate description (like "the sample is in the liquid phase").

It's tempting to simplify the universe like any other system: one for which microstate descriptions will have a fixed number of microstates across which the available energy will eventually be distributed more or less evenly. But perhaps that's a bad simplification. The article says as much, but in the middle of a bunch of claims about order and disorder.

So what's confusing about the article is it's attempt to describe the... confusion, that the new interpretation leads us away from.
Additionally, our anonymous queries will not be used to train their AI models. And anything you share via the anonymous feedback link goes to us and us alone.

Without concentrating the sunlight, the max efficiency of a solar panel is about 68% conversion. With 1kW/m², and a solar panel the size of a 0.01m² phone (6.1 inch, 16:9) that's 6.8W to play with, at the theoretical maximum.

A quick check states a Raspberry Pi 4B at 100% CPU draws 6.4W, so in perfect conditions with a perfect panel, it's just about approaching feasible to run a chip on a phone sized panel.

However a Gameboy is much simpler than a Pi. It seems the Gameboy draws about 70-80mA@1.5V, or 0.1W, which is very impressive. I would say that would 100% be physically feasible to power with a gameboy sized solar panel in our lifetime.

Sounds pretty sane & sober. If a bit strong on pushing low-end conservative emotional buttons. And oblivious to the hazards of an all-digital national currency, in a world containing hostile state actors who have "A list" computer intelligence organizations. If the CIA couldn't keep even their Top Secret list of Top Secret Agents secured against those folks - what chance would a national digital currency system have?

It's fairly good coverage without frills (i.e. you get a shared room in the hospital). Doctors tend to de-prioritize public insurance when giving appointments, because they earn less from them, particularly for elective or non-urgent issues, so you usually have to wait a bit longer than privately insured patients.

On the other hand, the insurance costs ~15% of income with a cap, so it has an element of solidarity to it - if you earn less, you pay less, and children and non-working spouse get covered without extra cost.

The difference isn't just average pay, you can compare LAUSD with neighboring districts and the pay is lower for a teacher at a given pay band, although the difference is less pronounced for entry level teachers (teacher pay at public schools is typically just determined by years of experience and level of education, and districts (or the corresponding union) publish those salary tables.
>This bleak idea is known as the “heat death hypothesis,” and the prophecy foretells a future where all pattern and organization has ceased to be. In this cosmological model, everything must come to an end. There is simply no possibility for continual existence.

Even taking this scenario for granted, the universe certainly will still very exist. Finally, no war anywhere anymore. Peace and stillness forever is the ultimate fate of the grand scheme of things, who could sanely complain? :D
The US was founded on the principle that the federal government only has the right to do things that are specified in the constitution. The States and the people, by default, retain all other rights. This idea has been greatly eroded in the last century, especially using the Commerce Clause, but could be revived with not too many Supreme Court decisions. Many of the founders were concerned that having a bill of rights would lead to exactly the idea that you are professing. Namely that if a right is not listed in the Constitution then that right does not exist. The tenth amendment specifically states the principle that the Constitution gives a limited set of powers to federal government by the people (and the States) and everything else is to unrestricted at the federal level.

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
Is it odd that a collection of non-USA researchers published something similar a year earlier? the USA-based Nature publication here is clearly paywalled so, hard to check the real differences, or publication references.

Show HN: Summarize podcasts and other web content with ChatGPT
I second the suggestion at the bottom of the (very enjoyable) post, pointing readers to the Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't content on YouTube - their passion and their approach are fantastic.
Sure, not everyone in the world will be forced to ask themselves what they truly are.

However. Can dogs write too? Can they write better code than you? Can they write better letters/documents/proposals/essays than you?

Because ChatGPT can.

If you apply that at a global scale, as quickly as it is happening, it’s easy to imagine that pretty soon there’s going to be a big change in the way we interact with technology and how we view ourselves in the world.

Ernest Hemingway. The Old Man and the Sea.

I’d read this long ago, and never gave a thought to it that this detail must have been rooted in reality. It’s interesting to learn what the lions were doing there.
It's a "fact" that a book has specific words in a specific order, yet we're not allowed to share that fact with other people without legal repercussions.

I fully understand laws are not written by computer scientists and that nuance is involved, I'm just saying that the idea that PII could be copyrightable doesn't seem THAT crazy to me.
Check the examples for schema files in the README.

Using the schema you can define which states are possible for each entity and also define what mutations are allowed for each state. For example "publish" mutation is allowed only on draft posts.
> If enough workers in a specific economic sector — retail, hotel services, nursing — voted for the measure, the secretary of labor could establish a bargaining panel made up of representatives elected by the workers. The panel could negotiate with companies to secure the best terms for workers across the industry.

I'd be wary of these 'mega-unions' my SO has one here in Spain as she is a nurse and it hasn't been very good in practice.

They often side with the employer (in this case the Government) and then there is little recourse for the employees to find better conditions or pay as the agreements are for the whole sector.

That's not to say all unions are bad - it depends on the union, but having a few super unions seems to increase the probability you end up with bad ones.
Psst seems to be missing a lot of basic functionality at this point. E.g. you can't reorder albums, they are presented in the order they were added to your library. It's promising but I can't see myself using it day-to-day in its current state.

Talk/chat Face-to-Face with AI
> In a 1991 interview, Winograd said about SHRDLU:[3]

> [...] the famous dialogue with SHRDLU where you could pick up a block, and so on, I very carefully worked through, line by line. If you sat down in front of it, and asked it a question that wasn't in the dialogue, there was some probability it would answer it. I mean, if it was reasonably close to one of the questions that was there in form and in content, it would probably get it. But there was no attempt to get it to the point where you could actually hand it to somebody and they could use it to move blocks around. And there was no pressure for that whatsoever. Pressure was for something you could demo. Take a recent example, Negroponte's Media Lab, where instead of "perish or publish" it's "demo or die." I think that's a problem. I think AI suffered from that a lot, because it led to "Potemkin villages", things which - for the things they actually did in the demo looked good, but when you looked behind that there wasn't enough structure to make it really work more generally.

Unlike "Chomskyian efforts," statisical NLP actually allows the machine to interact with natural language.
I doubt it. Most companies don't give cost of living raises that high. People will have to switch jobs to create enough pressure.

Tried it out, pretty disappointing so far. "Is the Collatz conjecture solved?" gave no "intelligent" assist, even though the first result is the Wikipedia page on the Collatz conjecture.

"Do cows sleep standing up?" gave an answer of some sort, but very unnatural and not very helpful.
I think the point is that it should only be used to summarize wikipedia information, and thus harder to use for other ethically murky purposes? But that remains to be seen; I haven't tried it yet.

I quite like this approach to system spec languages. It feels a bit more modern than the rather unwieldy TLA+. Can someone explain how a spec language can exist without sets as a first class datatype though? (admittedly I only had time for a cursory glance at Fault).
