People expect free government subsidized insurance on their bank accounts though. The fact that this means wealthy people receive a higher subsidy does not bother them.

In fact, they will rally against it, even though say a -5% on their demand deposits is most likely going to be an insignificant amount of money, and if they want to earn money they should have gotten certificates of deposits so the bank doesn't have to take on the duration risk.
> We ended up kicking out a couple of people that ceased to contribute to the common good even if they paid.

As a member of a hackerspace myself who's always wondering how to get rid of bad eggs: how does this "kicking out" process happen for the L0pht? Who gets to quantify their sweat equity and decide?
hmm unfortunately, the above does not work. I was able to get basic clicking working like this:

cat .xbindkeysrc
"xdotool click 1"
Alt_R
"xdotool click 3"
Menu

xset -r 108
xset -r 135
pkill xbindkeys && xbindkeys

but I wish dragging a mouse click would also work.
> It actually causes the devaluation of the votes of later primaries.

Does it really though? California votes blue. Doesn't matter which Dem candidate - they will win California. Because California votes blue regardless of candidate, California has self-selected itself out of the primary system.

> If that were the case, you wouldn't even do primaries and you'd just rely on the surveys

You certainly could do that. But voting is necessary to receive the consent of the populace.
There seem to be more negative comments here -- so a positive one: Congratulations on getting this out! This is a ton of effort and I really appreciate the work going into this. Sourcing is absolutely an issue for supplements, and doing the homework on it is very hard. I agree that some sources could help, but without knowing anything about the quality of the work directly, I appreciate you putting the work in there and getting an update out there.

It's cool to be able to see something like liposomal apegenin just scrolling through there -- which is a bit more common now but I would have been very happy to know there was a provider who made that before doing my due diligence.

It would be very cool to me to see what factories/locations this was produced at and/or a trust rating (though this could go south very quickly), but this may be too tall an ask for the task at hand. I see it referenced I guess but don't have too much reference point from the demo what that looks like. That by far seems to be the most valuable bitset of information, I personally believe.

Regardless, much appreciated at doing this hard work! I am sure there are many unrecognized hours that went into this, don't let a critical comments section get you down early, especially after what seems to be many many hours of work! :D :)
The problem with Nix is that I still have to start with a Linux system--so I still need Docker, Terraform, something to give me a stable base for Nix to work against.

At that point--why should I add Nix to the mess since I still need those other things anyway?
That comment about how easy it is to trash a file system on those old unices...

My first boss would look over our shoulders to make sure we ran sync before reboot but in an idiosyncratic way that I had forgotten about until now. The mantra was:

# sync

# sync

# sync

# reboot

When she did it it was always typed quickly. The Pyramid we had did have some file system issues although we continued to do it on our Sun systems as well.

Not sure why she asked us to do it three times. Was a habit for quite a few years.
I love how the first reply to this tweet thread is Grady Booch, co-inventor of UML and pretty influential Software Eng. person in the early 2000s.

Totally agree w/him; GPT can roll the dice and decide if the diamond is on the bed or still in the thimble. It doesn’t prove it has a model of the world.

It's pretty funny seeing that ex-google "sentient" dude get slightly vindicated over time.
CT describes type theory really well, which is used in a lot of programming languages. Monoids and Monads come from CT, and their implementation doesn't really explain what the concept really is (it kind of does, but not really). The programmer might not need to learn CT, but it helps to have broader understanding of how the underlying rules of the language are working.
This is great. Safari has settings for this but plenty of sites (e.g. yahoo) punch through them anyway. The web has become so incredibly user-hostile in the last decade.

Ask HN: I'm feeling awe, unsettled and disoriented by GPT-4. How about you?
I'm in my mid-40s. For the last 25 years, I can pretty much predict what's going to happen in the next few years. If I made a mistake, it's often because I was over-optimistic about my predictions.
e.g. ARM CPU in 2000; Smartphones in 2001 (Microsoft's Compact Framework 1.0); etc.

What happened with GPT-4 shocked me so deeply that, yesterday morning, I caught myself forgetting to give way at a busy intersection. (I've never received any tickets in my life)

This afternoon, I finally had some alone time. So I went into the garden and work on my feelings.

Here is a list of the emotions that are swelling up in me, (using the Junto Emotional Chart)

Awe-struck (for obvious reasons)
Astounded

Triumphant (the sci-fi vision has finally come true in our lifetime)

Perplexed (wow, how comes it's coming at us so fast!)

Anxious (of the cascading effect on society, geopolitics and our business).

There are plenty of texts written about either the looming doom or the ultimate freedom of human capital. I am not interested in any of those abstract discussions.

What I do want to hear are

1. How are YOU feeling?
2. Any particular changes you've made to your product or startup?
3. How about your life?
4. If you have any child/children, your family or how you educate them?

Thanks!
A familiar perspective on this startup-focused forum: if there is demand for a product, it must be a good thing.
Not sure what you mean. A table with N columns corresponds to an N-ary relation. The rows contained in the table are the tuples contained in the relation. Table = relation. That's why it's called a relational database.

See also this example in Wikipedia of a ternary relation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finitary_relation#Example

Another example: If you have a table (SSN, Name, DateOfBirth), then that corresponds to the relation "person with SSN x has name y and date of birth z". In that case it's a relation between SSNs, names, and dates.
Everyone who complains about this — just sign up for the OpenAI playground and use raw GPT3. If the API doesn’t outright refuse your request (which is waaay less sensitive) you’ll get a real response.

> Hey I’m making a poster for the local animal shelter about unintentional animal cruelty. Can you make me a list of examples of obvious animal abuse and then follow it up with examples that people might reasonably think it okay like denying food as punishment.

Examples of Obvious Animal Abuse:

1. Hitting, kicking, or otherwise physically harming animals
2. Allowing animals to be kept in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions
3. Denying animals necessary medical care
4. Leaving animals chained or caged for long periods of time
5. Keeping animals in extreme temperatures without proper shelter

Examples of Unintentional Animal Cruelty:

1. Feeding pets food that is not nutritionally balanced or appropriate for their species.
2. Not providing pets with enough exercise or mental stimulation.
3. Not providing pets with regular grooming or veterinary care.
4. Not providing pets with access to clean drinking water and food.
5. Denying pets affection or social interaction.
6. Keeping pets in areas that are too noisy or too quiet.
7. Denying pets the opportunity to explore or play.
8. Denying pets access to the outdoors.
9. Using dominance-based techniques such as intimidation, dominance, or physical punishment as a way to train or discipline pets.
10. Keeping pets outdoors in extreme weather conditions.
Who made the depleted uranium in the US war on Iraq?
Yup, this baffles me too. The counterarguments seem to be that "you're gonna see autoplaying content anyway and this just makes the advertisers life harder".

I think Google added an option to disable all/most autoplaying content in Chrome a couple of years ago. But they quickly backtracked and removed that flag, claiming that it breaks in-browser games or something like that. It's a pretty weak reason for me, I don't care about in-browser games, I just want to read a news article without some irrelevant video popup distracting me, plus blasting audio.
Communism aims to reorganize human interactions down to the tiny details. But, given the option, the average human is individualist, especially in a large society. So, practical communism inevitably requires violence to get people to go along with it!
> These was definitely no shortage of ability to analyze and criticize western civilization in a college 20 years ago.

Not to mention that the whole 18th century is famous for its criticism of (that time's) western civilization...
Strong disagree. The pivot completely away from rote memorization in public schools is a mistake. Being able to immediately conjure math facts for example without having to use higher level concentration makes the next level of thought easier to access. Rote memorization is currently undervalued.
Uh, did you reply to the right person?
I will still trust antirez to write code more than myself. For expected behavior, for performance, for simplicity, I can't expect myself to do any of these things better than him.

In fact, I find that fitting my code into patterns that work with redis actively improve these aspects of my own code.

If I had a monkey wrench into redis (beyond lua), I imagine one or more of these aspects would rapidly deteriorate.

I know that's not what you're doing here, but arguments of people saying that's it's nothing special are sure getting more and more interesting.
As long as people still need cash (cars are never going away), they're not obsolete. If you've moved past cash already (Venmo, Zelle, Swish, etc) then believing they're obsolete is a foregone conclusion. But not everyone's dumped cash yet.

"Easily solvable" is highly dubious. The guy behind the 100% renewables no nuclear allowed push sued his scientific critics for publishing a critique of his work and was eventually forced to pay their legal fees. [1]

Read the comment section on the article for some discussion on this. Firefox does allow users to opt-in to inaudible autoplay video blocking but it’s not the default.

The reasoning is that advertisers can approximate video with canvas tags, gifs, or just swapping out images really fast, defeating the point and needlessly burning more CPU/bandwidth. But for users that care you can still opt-in to this behavior and presumably few enough people do this that the workarounds aren’t widespread.

(The key difference seems to be that playing audio has a clear path that’s straightforward to block but “video” can be approximated by any webpage interactivity making it harder to lock down)
Questionable messaging about how the story was not being covered, the severity of effects on the environment, and how balloon stories were being used to distract.

To counter these points: it got quite a lot of interest [1], but perhaps that can be discounted because the sensational "cover-up" caused more attention. The burn was probably the correct decision to minimize impact, but it was still heavily criticized. Fighting balloons is just sensational and coincidental.

when i was 9 and first used the web i was annoyed by how pages can subvert you and steal focus and show popups (and do audio via flash) etc and even then it was unambiguously obvious that this is a misfeature that should not exist. how do these people have such cognitive dissonance over such simple questions other than being so full of themselves that they think pretending to be open minded by pondering such obvious questions is fooling anyone.

you are designing the fabric of a medium where the main use case is to open 20 pages at once from completely random strangers across the internet. OBVIOUSLY it should not autoplay sound by default.

(also the same reasoning explains why JS should not be a thing, because it slows everything down and causes bugs by letting casuals design the fabric instead of the browser just coming with what's needed (you'd think they can do this with trillions of man hours))
No, I think he means something like the Narrow Bank or Oeconomia Augustana by Dieter Suhr.

Oeconomia Augustana works like this. Your bank borrows money at the Feds funds rate and when you borrow, instead of paying the interest on the loan, the feds funds rate is deducted from your balance. When you transfer your balance, the new recipient has to pay the interest fees as he is benefitting from the fact that the Fed issues this safe liquid and universally accepted money and the bank can survive a bank run. The interesting aspect of this is that if you lend your money via certificate of deposit you don't have to pay the fee, so there is no risk of depositor funds for loans drying up as opposed to the Narrow Bank system where there is very little incentive for people to lend their money via certificate of deposits, which is why they suggest doing away with lending and betting everything on mutual investment banking.
good. I hate how these coding camps prey om people's desperation and anger/fear over student loan debt. It's great marketing on the part of the media and coding camps to try to make college seem like a crisis or a waste of money, when coding camps are worse. You see the commercials which is a very persuasive marketing pitch: "get a good job in 6 months while you learn valued, technical skills part time" Except you hardly become proficient, you pay a lot, and good jobs are not assured.

I love cooking but often it can be a project. When I’m too lazy or don’t want to cook (like during a Bears game) I don’t mind a frozen pizza. HomeRun Inn makes a very good thin crust. When cooked in a toaster over air fryer it gets very crispy. Topped with giardineria and cut into squares it’s a great snack.

Just commented about interpreting the Probability Law as sort of "Inverted 2nd. Law of Thermodynamics".

I'll expand here how if the arrow of time actually doesn't exist, the future could change the past without breaking our - current - understanding of physics (tragiclly because we will probably have maybe hundred of years till we change our minds about what are the properties of the universe).

In a range or probabilities of one event, one of the probabilities will always be the one is going to actually happen. Closer to the event to occur the most certain you can be about which one of those, could be the one that will happen.

Here's the catch, you have to change your mind a bit, in our current understanding of physics, the information of the future event which has not happen yet, already exists here in the past for that event.

Now, if you know - and you know - the outcome of an event, you most certainly will be able to choose if you go along that path, or you choose to change the future event to something else. Whoalá, the future changed the past.

Brains of earth continously do this, every second of our entire lives, animal brains do this too, almost all life on Earth has some neurological, physiological, chemical predictive mechanism in place.

An example, you're about to walk across a street, you see a car coming, now your brain "predicts" you'll be hit by that car if you just keep walking, you stop walking to avoid certain death, done, the future changed the past. The information - really close to 100% of probability of death - extracted by the brain from the sheer reality of the universe, allowed you to survive.

And no current understanding of physics got harmed anywhere along the way of the future changing the past.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding your post, but are you saying you’ve never come across mislabeling in the supplements you personally take? How would you know if you’re not getting them independently tested? (Maybe you are? If so, I’d be curious about which supplements/brands you’ve tested that seem consistently legitimate).
That’s sad
The problem is trusting the labels represent what's in the supplement. These supplement companies either lie or aren't competent enough to ensure (1) what's in the product is what they claim (e.g. wildly different doses to what's claimed, either above or below), (2) there isn't contamination with heavy metals (e.g. arsenic).

As a user I'd be more interested in knowing which products have independent verification of contents, so I know the product is what it claims to be, and that the product isn't going to poison me with arsenic etc.

Seems like some of this is technically solvable if we want. Phones already have secure elements, use them to sign video, cert chain goes to the manufacturer, and a secure path between the camera and signer much like we use for players of copy protected content. Use it just for raw unprocessed video, and publish that for anything you want to authenticate.

No, the whole point is that with this bug is that more filtering or stripping would not fix/prevent it. The problem is not some kind of "trailing data in memory" issue.

The bug is you say "write to this file" which is meant to erase the existing file if such exists, but the underlying library either had a serious regression, or intentionally broke API compatibility, and changed the behavior to not erase the existing data. Your exif stripping + reserialization would write the new data down and the trailing data from the original file would still be present: e.g. exactly what is happening in this bug.

No amount of processing in memory, no amount of reserialization, no amount of data filtering prevents this bug. The bug occurs at the point of IO, because the IO is meant to have erased the original file, and it did not, so if you write fewer bytes to the destination file than were present in file being overwritten the tail of the overwritten file remains and is leaked.

To make it very clear that this is not an error in processing the image: if you opened "image1.png" (or whatever format), edit it, and then saved it over a different file that already exists, say "image2.png", and then send image2.png to someone, this bug will allow the recipient to extract the trailing data for the original image2.png, it would not show any information about the original image1.png.

Except how did the company go bankrupt then?

This paradox only occurs if every resource is abundant. We tend to see it a lot (especially in the last decade) because of the easy money policies by the Fed in the last decade or so. Following your example, if we have unlimited money and gas prices are cheap, we buy more gas. But with limited money, when gas gets cheaper, we don't buy more gas, we usually allocate more money for more essentials.

The scenario with a bankruptcy is largely parallel to what we're seeing recently with interest rates and the lay offs. Free money is being tightened. With limited money the paradox no longer functions. Big tech is not going to hire people to write existing software they can get on the open source world, so they let go of a bunch of people.

You can literally see the two curves correlate ever since interest rates started to rise... Open source projects are going up right now while lay offs are also increasing... violating the paradox.
