Be careful. If your freezer is really cold, you can turn your CDs into superconductors, which may not lose bits, but they do introduce quantum shuffling of bits, where the same bits physically exchange position with other bits.
As long as the fortune is vague enough to apply to more than 40-50 people, then the chance of a fabricated fortune-telling for you coming true simply by pure random coincidence seems to be greater than the chance of winning the lottery.
> As long as the master is digital there's no way a vinyl record could possibly sound better than a lossless digital recording like FLACC or CDDA

Isn't the point to actually reduce quality by using imperfect media so recording has more oldschool vibe? Kinda like all the lo-fi mixes being so popular today. At least thats what I always thought, I didn't really research that at all.

> The bank is at fault for making risky investments.

And the depositors (VC or not) are at fault for putting their money in a risky bank.

The only people who are not at fault are the ones who are being forced to pay for the mistakes.
After trying out Hyper (electron), Warp (Rust) and iTerm (Objective-C, Swift), I'm not as much interested in the language itself, but at least the fact that it's not an Electron terminal. So I guess I do subconsciously project the "therefore better", not because it's Rust, but because I'm assuming it won't grab a couple GB of memory.
Isn’t it considered best practice not to use brew to install Python for exactly this reason?

I’ve always seen it recommended to use pyenv or just download directly from Python.org instead.
This looks absolutely amazing, and I think you guys are going to win big here.

My only concern is why the low SEER2? For a state of the art system like this I was expecting 22+

I am hovering over the pre-order button regardless...
Hahaha well yes, for learning it’s great but for shipping something it’s awful.

It’s not even the time it takes, there is a lot of compatibility issues that need to be dealt with that are overwhelming
Approximately 2.7 million arrests have been made at the border since Biden became president. Of those, roughly two thirds were immediately removed from the US under Remain in Mexico/Title 42.[1] Many of the remainder were immediately taken into immigration detention, faced removal proceedings, and were themselves eventually removed from the country (as are many who were not initially arrested at the border).[2] It is unclear to me how this constitutes 'de facto open borders'.

In the original context of a Mac-focused blog, I think it makes sense. On HN though, I have to admit I had no idea which it was because of the way it's worded. If the subject was "Apple" or "MacOS" then it would read much nicer imo.
Comma is a decimal point, as used in many countries that aren't the United States.
I hope that is the case.

I think the counter case is investors putting themselves into the shoes of a CFO at a company with >250k in cash. Why would they choose to park it at a regional bank rather than one of the big banks? Sure, FDIC made depositors whole this time, but does it have enough to continue doing that? If not, is there enough political will to push a taxpayer funded bailout through (especially this close to an election year)? And even then, how long would that take?*

*This excludes banks that are primarily dealing in consumer deposits, who I assume will be fine.
We did. We had more insulation blown into our attic (it gets crazy hot up there) and we are now looking for new windows.
And millions of Americans getting the identity stolen and dealing with the fallout. The IRS doesn't care that it was someone else working under your identity that didn't pay taxes, they want their money.
Yeah, I'd like to see those figures too, and I think they might surprise you (and me). I don't have figures or references to hand here, but as I understand it modern heat pumps should be good down at least a little way below freezing. They're widely used and popular in Norway, for example, and the Norwegians aren't exactly new to cold weather.
I used Hello Fresh for a couple of weeks but in the end let it go for the quality of their recipes.

I felt the meals were too much designed from the marketing department: Looked nice on the photos, but overly complicated to prepare for a daily dinner, and as my wife put it "Every meal taste somewhat similar".

What was missing was simplicity.

This seems like a silly objection to me, although I am one of the authors :) Yes, Codex has been trained on lots of linked lists. It has also been trained on lots of bad and insecure versions of linked lists! And when we did our earlier study ("Asleep at the Keyboard"), which looked at the security of code written by Copilot without human intervention, we found that it produced vulnerable code at high rates (40%) even for common scenarios like SQL injection and C string manipulation. So your prior that LLMs should be good at linked lists is not at all obvious; that's why we ran the study.

Other complaints in this thread about studying students - sure, perhaps experienced developers will do better. These were upper level undergraduate and masters students though, so they're the kind of developer you will have writing code with Codex in industry within a year or so, and so they are still worth studying. It's not the whole picture, but we never claim it is.
I think going with Matter would give you the best bang for your buck as you would get virtually every major smart home hub system.

You would still be able to do more with your own app as matter will probably mainly support the lowest common denominator across your category.
More likely desperate parents. Sounds like these are probably the children of undocumented immigrants, who likely also work at the plant.
One of the good things that Google+ did for me was that it got me to stop +1ing things.
This is the question that needs to be answered before everyone starts throwing their money at these sweep accounts.

SVB offered sweep accounts. Guess how that worked out for folks with money in those accounts? They lost access just like everyone else. If you had a sweep account and you needed to make payroll on Friday, you were not protected.

I like my web type setter written in Python very much: https://github.com/dkrajzew/degrotesque

It replaces common ASCII characters by their typographic counterpart, e.g. "Hello - I'm back" will get "Hello — I'm back"
Just tried signing up for the hosting waitlist, but the webpage errors with "The domain name zzz@domain.uk does not exist".

I'd suggest removing whatever checking is in place there, unless you plan to keep the gTLDs up to date.
It's hard to follow this story and not see how corrupt and hypocritical the top tier VCs are. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like using inside info to precipitate a bank run is illegal.

Re the sizing question - this is a part of the site that needs improvement. 12kbtu is 1 ton. The 48kbtu system is a 4ton system, but rated at 5F, if you're in a more temperate climate, two of these will likely have plenty of capacity for you. It's also likely that your current system is oversized.
Website is a bit flakey under load, but that's going so subside after today.

I would recommend not YOLOing your money into multiple accounts today - rushed decisions are what got us here. If your immediate payroll issue is sorted, spend today and tomorrow working on a diversification and treasury plan with your team, then execute that over the next week or two. At this point, poorly configured wire transfers and scams are much more of a risk than your SVB balance going away.

It doesn't need much of a theory to me. People who don't understand the engineering involved are being taken advantage of by charlatans selling phony products with explanations that almost make sense at first glance and induce a placebo effect due to that and price (so they do "sound better"). The audiophiles (and likely some amount of sellers) naturally try to defend their purchases, but they're trying to reason based on the nonsense they were sold, and end up in a feedback loop of nonsense. People getting older and trying to reclaim their faltering hearing probably plays a part in it too.
This was a solved problem in 2012. Ads are stories and can easily filtered skipped. Duplicate story checkers filter based on title/content similarity. Software available for iOS can be limited compared to windows or linux.
Same here. I dabble a little bit in the evenings, but it is not my full time job. Would love to get into a good group of people in similar situations where perhaps it is more of a hobby/learning experience. Since after all, my biggest reason to dabble in the idea of game dev is to improve myself as a developer. Game development seems to be on of the few things you can do where you can truly touch most to all areas of computer science. I would say game dev and operating systems. AI, ML, graphics, optimization, data structures, algorithms, fundamentals of software design, etc... It seems like there isn't an area in CompSci that can not run into with game development.

Just be aware that sometimes your isp will "helpfully" blow away all the configuration you set on their box in your home remotely from their end.

Had that happen to me a few times before I caught on to what was happening. So after that I set their box to dmz mode and all my real configurations are on my own box. If they do it again it's just one thing I have to set back. But they don't seem to be doing it as much now. Probably because their underprovisioned hardware is still able to keep up with a simple dmz setup but anything more complicated and it falls over.
Jumping ahead to the video on LLVM, the instructor mentions his prior LLVM tutorial/intro which looks really helpful as an overview, with more informative links. Probably the best get-started tutorial I've come across yet:

https://www.cs.cornell.edu/~asampson/blog/llvm.html

This is a great resource, I've wanted to learn how to use LLVM to compile to RISCV assembly for a while, e.g.

https://llvm.org/docs/RISCVUsage.html
The human ear doesn't really have the ability to determine the height of a source reliably, only left/right. A better effect might be putting the audio out of phase on left/right, which usually has the effect of making it difficult to hear where the sound is coming from (it kind of makes it sound like it's omnidirectional like you mentioned)

If I start a long running Emacs Lisp function in IELM (the GNU Emacs repl), then GNU Emacs is completely unresponsive.

My Lisp Machine emulator for Symbolics Genera is still responsive for the same code snippet, entered in a Listener window.
You don’t even have to pay them. With some admittedly major limitations, you can do that with a free Apple developer account.
For me the goal is 100% local control. I found out the other day that I couldn't turn my 8sleep mattress on because a guy down the street struck a fiber line. My bed was basically a $4k brick as soon as the internet went down.

Look at it this way, it saves you money in server costs and performs much better.
The review makes a lot of hay over needing DP and HDMI cards for a multimonitor setup, but even on Linux the USB-C expansion card supports DisplayPort altmode, MST hubs, and power delivery passthrough on all four ports. Each port has its own Thunderbolt 3 and PD controller. (The DP expansion card is just an altmode pin converter, and the HDMI card is an HDMI-to-DP converter, which is probably why it constantly consumes power.)

You might need a dock if the other three ports aren't enough, but you can connect power and two external monitors on one port.
Pretty exciting to see the democratization of this tech.

The next wave of innovation seems like it’ll be much less centralized into a handful of big companies. Even more powerful closed door LLMs will appear, but already so much utility out of these that can run on consumer hardware.
In my experience, most people will choose to listen to music directly from a phone or laptop even when there is a good floor speaker system in the same room they could connect to and play through in seconds, because they just don't care.
I had the opportunity to spend a week in an Amish Bed & Breakfast last year, in an Amish community. It was a fascinating experience, and I learned a lot about the Amish. I'm no expert, but because I doubt we'll have actual Amish posting about themselves here, I'll do my best to share my understanding respectfully.

There are multiple "orders" of Amish: The Swartzentruber, Beachy, New Order, and others. There are also Mennonites (with their own variety of orders) which are closely related to the Amish. Different orders have different views towards technology. Most of the individuals we were around rode e-bikes and all carried cell phones (flip, not smart). We were told to feel free to take as many photos as we wanted, but please not of people (outside of my party). Several had electricity in their barns, but not their homes. One family had electricity in the home, but had special permission from the church on account of medical needs. It was all very fascinating.

The Amish shun technology for 2 main reasons. (1) Like you said, things that break their ideal society. They want to encourage the family, community, etc.. But also (2) Things that risk their societal independence. #2 was a surprise to me, and I think it's a lesser-known aspect, but makes sense. Their persecution in the late 1600s & early 1700s in Europe is core to their cultural identity. Shunning modern ways is a way to buffer themselves against a recurrence and ensure long-term safety. They can be and are very open to adopting modern ways, but they need time (often decades or more) to assess and allow modern ways to be proven. In that sense, they're not shunning technology so much as they are sticking with what's been proven to work -- if it ain't broke, don't fix it! The horse and buggy has been proven as a viable long-term solution, so why switch? Adopting modern vehicles puts them at risk, because they then become dependent on global supply chains, which are not proven to be long-term reliable.
>At the same time, it looks like this group is very picky about who can join.

He is using a psychological trick to make people feel insecure and inadequate, and thus create an imbalance of power within the group. However, his requirements may backfire because being a full-time solo game developer may only be possible if you have someone supporting you, or if you live in your mom’s basement or on social security. It excludes people who are serious about their endeavors but still have to pay the bills.
> The title just says it is "written in Rust", not "written in Rust, therefore better".

Why does the title say "written in rust" then, if not because the author believes it's inherently worthy of merit? It's largely irrelevant to users of the software.
Cargo (Rust) is pretty solid. Most of my minor complaints (like being unable to add packages from the CLI) have been resolved with time, as well.

Original scientific article: https://academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/article/2/2/pgad004/70590...

This work is part of a larger body of research that seeks to understand whether organisms (like these conifers) will be able to respond to changing environments in a way that avoids their extinction. It is particularly interesting to study in vegetation, where movement is limited by dispersal and reproduction.

A frequent limitation to these studies, which this one shares, is that often it is assumed that these conifers' future climatic "ideal" (known as their "niche") is static, predicted by their historical niches.

However, there are several modalities among which conifers may change their climatic niche that we may not have been able to observe yet, namely: phenotypic plasticity and evolutionary adaptation. We don't know very much about how conifer species exhibit plastic responses to environmental stress, nor about how evolutionary adaptation may enable conifers to exist in novel (to them) environments.

These studies are useful, but as usual should be taken in light of their limitations.

(source: my phd was about this)
How different is this from medicine? When problems begin to contain irreducible complexity human reasoning starts to break. We can't test every possible state to determine which state is the best (in human reasonable energy use and timeframes). When this occurs we use heuristics and throw something at the wall to see what works.

Sometimes there just may not be a simpler theory of why something works. Or the 'simple' theory is still massively complex. Reality doesn't owe us an easy explanation.
Yea I think I am usually able to make a functional prototype, just creating something that's actually all the way finished and great is a challenge.

Might be a good idea to find someone to help make things into a longer form solution, but I'm fairly introverted/shy, so that's always a challenge, but good advice!

I agree, but it's hard sometimes, you know? I for some reason can't help but compare, even though it does no good.

Thanks for the advice :D
If an insurer believes a provider is committing fraud, that should be between the two of them. The patient shouldn't have to be the negotiator in the middle; they have zero power over either side.

Too many fraudulent/suspicious claims from a provider? Cut the provider off, not the patient.
It works a little different in “Rel” (the query language Relational.ai uses). You would create multiple definitions of what a “full polite address” is for each “case” of valid arguments/empty columns and use that going forward. A bit like a UNION without the same column width requirements.
How is this safer than the alternative? There's no world in which the FDIC lets a bank the size of SVB default on it's deposits, so there are basically 2 scenarios here:

1) You get bailed out no matter what your insurance rate

2) Defaults are at such a high rate that the FDIC doesn't have the money to bail everyone out, the economy tanks, and all businesses that rely on risky VC investment fail anyway

It's like betting $100 on something that won't happen until you're dead. Sure, you might be correct, but there's no real benefit to it.
Personally, zero complaints about Cargo (Rust) and very minimal complaints about NuGet (C#/.NET). My issues around NuGet are probably self-created because I refuse to learn the CLI [0] for it and I've had occasional issues with Visual Studio's UI for managing things.

Have you ever gotten a message from your coworker asking to explain the code that you wrote?

Framing it as a $0.10 cost issue is disingenuous. It's not that I want to save $0.10, it's that I want hardware that specifically does not have that functionality. And I'm willing to spend more to get it; though not $10billion more.

And it's not that they'd have to re-tool their fabs to make it either; they're already set up to make non-ME systems for certain government buyers. Please let civilians buy those systems.
God damn I hope this is where IP law lands. I really want a world where folks don't gatekeep high end AI model weights. Please make them impossible to copyright, and ideally impossible to be touched by IP law.
I think you're misunderstanding the realistic state of child influencers. These children have no guarantee of access to any money they "earn", and also the chance of earning that much is quite low. Just like most influencers, most of them don't make anywhere near a fulltime income an adult could make even on minimum wage, but are left with lifelong distortions of how to be a person that have to be unlearned.

I don't think it's reasonable to excuse or downplay exploitation of children in one way because exploitation of children occurs another way elsewhere. We can argue against addressing harm to children because other harm happens to children all the way down to the source of Omelas's good fortune if you like, but I don't think this results in positive societal outcomes.
It's like saying you should not need to know about ancient Greece history to participate in marathon running. And the truth is, you don't. You can easily learn the present meaning of a word without fully understanding its etymology.

There are countless words and idioms that will make no sense when you're not familiar with them. You could consider these annoying, or you could consider these the interesting parts of a language.

I for one very much like words with interesting history.

This is not strictly true.

Mr. Cool has a 2-Ton heat pump (Designed to work with existing ducting) that can operate off of a normal non-communicating thermostat. It still hits 19 SEER and does a lot of that optimization on the controller side. And when it comes to mini splits there are lots of them that will work with a normal thermostat.

I know this, well, because I’ve spent many countless hours trying to find something that will work with Z-Wave and not a proprietary communicating system. Granted it might be less efficient but efficiency is way less important than having the ability to do that. The only exception I would consider is if the communicating thermostat was fully open and had a decent API that worked without Internet access.
Mitsubishi heat pumps has a local thermostat that operates by remote, no cloud access needed, so if the app's servers go down it will still function.
Cool to see that the entire website, from the agreement to generating the predictions, is one Gradio [1] app written in Python

[1] https://gradio.dev/
Pretty sure they were asking if you could still access all the functionality currently provided by the app if it were to go away for some reason (who can see the future? It's not impossible Mitsubishi goes out of business or the app gets cancelled/pulled after some number of years)
Seems similar to https://nicegui.io/ which recently impressed me! Will check this out.
