That's very odd. I don't know if it's your bank, or something specific to Canada.

In the US the only limits are via the ATM or Debit card. If you write a check, go in person, or send a wire, you can withdraw as much as you want, with no time delay or restriction.

> Couldn’t they just use one of their terms or conditions to delay the withdrawals and give themselves ample time to react?

That's simply not a thing.
No business is going to park their working capital with a bank that has those requirements.

What about ricin? I thought that it was relatively easy to source from castor beans.
I don't know if you're asking to be tongue-in-cheek, but this is a salient question.

Normally, government buildings ("Held for public use") don't pay property taxes. This can be a serious issue in municipalities where large portions of the non-residential real estate is held by a higher-level governmental entity, such as Jackson, Mississippi, where the state government makes up a large bulk of the functional real estate, and thus does not contribute to the municipal tax base (while still making substantial infrastructural demands).

Holy hell, this is true. Amazon is notorious for scammers. It's great if you want to buy a jug of dishwashing gel, but for anything risky like cameras, stick to a specialist. B&H is especially good with their fast and free shipping.
> Microsoft really seems to have wrapped up the developer ecosystem with VS Code and the Github acquisition combined with OpenAI. They are going to have an absurd amount of data to optimize their models thanks to that, not sure how other AI focused companies can overcome that

Other companies can focus on other areas where AI can be used. There's room for everybody.
Why should the designer pick how wide you want the text? You are the one who knows what you like, and you can resize the browser window.
People obsessing over AI safety in how it affects our "well-being" truly do not get it. That's not the safety issue at all.

The actual safety issue is that it's coming for our jobs. Not that it spits out a micro aggression or bias. Social media spit out about 50 billion messages a day that offend in one way or another.

The sum of humanity's digital labor is taken without permission or compensation and then centralized into a collective intelligence under the control of 2 companies. Giving them unique power in monetization, information narratives, being at the steering wheel of wiping out entire industries.

The only way to make this inevitable revolution more fair is to decentralize. Make training data, models, weights and tools free, downloadable and super easy to use locally. As easy as using a smartphone app. This could even spin up a (commercial) ecosystem of ready-to-go models. Next, make them pluggable into every common tech stack.

Freedom is the answer, not safety. Yes, somebody is going to train a Nazi model but those motivated to do so can and will do that anyway.
The kind of protection people want: their in high-risk investments being protected as if they were in low-risk investments. They also want to eat cakes but still have those same cakes.
Does it, in fact, not permit you to get to the entire balance immediately via, say, cash or a bank check?

It sounds like you are referring to something like an ATM withdrawal limit or online transfer limit which is just a risk / fraud limiting measure for those particular channels rather than a limitation on the account itself.

Is that really true? When I was in college some years ago I didn't fall for any scams and few of my classmates did either. Most of us barely had money for beer and textbooks, so there wasn't much to scam from us in the first place. Has the situation changed?
The thing is the average duration of those loans is ~5yrs, so the ~15-20% of the portfolio that needs to refinance this year was stuff that got financed five years ago, and probably has pretty decent loan to values given that the property values are in most cases up from where they were 5 years ago.

It’s the stuff that was financed in the past couple of years that is going to be the most risky, but unless rents fell off a cliff, has a bit of runway to play out.
Ask HN: Where to Start Contributing OSS?
Hi, I am software engineer. And, as the time is passing I would like to get into the Open Source world.
What are the best OSS projects to contribute to? I am searching for a good community to start from.
I am at a good level with Python and JavaScript, and I have an understanding of C++ and Golang.
But I am not scared of learning new languages if it's needed.
Any suggestions are welcome! :)
A good question. I looked it up. The AlternativeTo site offers a few PC alternatives to Little Snitch:

I think this applies more on the way up when interest is decreased. When interest go up, home owners may not afford to sell at a lost as they could have borrowed more, so you hold on to it. So I imagine house prices raise much faster than they decrease with interest changes.
For one group the desired outcome allows them to exert control over others, and the other group the desired outcome allows them personal agency. The needs of the corporation vs the needs of the individual.

Ansible isn't a speed demon, but note that Ansible, like docker over ssh (export DOCKER_HOST=“ssh://user@remotehost) greatly benefits from persisted ssh connections - via ~/.ssh/ssh_config or Ansible config.

Surely the ability to easily type and search for items is new technology. Customers do not have to memorize the codes, they can look them up.

I find self checkout very beneficial, as I frequently have few items to purchase, and there are more self checkout registers available more consistently than there would be staff.

For the same ~20 to 30 items I normally purchase, it takes me very little time to self checkout. For people with cartloads of items, they can go to the manned conveyor belts. For everyone else, they can go to one of the many self checkouts.

I guess if you are just doing an investigation to see if there is any unusual traffic, the free version can be useful. Since it's not actually preventing any of the traffic, it doesn't make the paid for version useless. For those that want to stop the data flow but continue using the chatty software, upgrading to the paid version would still be a thing. If you're the type to just stop/remove chatty software, then this free version will help find them. Seems kind of cool.

I think you're thinking about gamma correction. Before 2009, Apple used a display gamma of 1.8, so images displayed differently than they did on Windows systems (which used a gamma of 2.2).
Technically Kardashian disclosed it with #ad tag, but because it was settled outside the court, we do not know if this is sufficient disclosure.
There's no basis for arguing about your feelings. Your emotions are yours.
> Again, this “non admission of guilt” sidesteps everything and cuts straight to the end result.

It’s a settlement agreement, and, yes, that’s the whole point – they resolve a situation subject to civil litigation without litigation, but leaving the settling party no worse off than if they had fought and had the agreement contents instead imposed as a remedy. Requiring admissions as part of a settlement would not do that, settling would then in many cases be worse than losing.
"Giving the upper middle class money" is the outcome of both. It's exactly the same, you just support one and not the other.
There's no mention of Google Voice. I've been hooked on it for 12 years, with my primary phone number being a Google Voice number for the last 10 years.

I've started using a lot of the suggested applications and services - Firefox, DuckDuckGo, Flickr - instead of Google's in recent years. I'm still using Gmail because changing my primary email seems like it would be a pain, but at least I can see that there are some strong competitors for email. Voice, on the other hand, seems like a pretty unique offering.

What does that mean? They now play by the same rules as other software, or they just did something else without actually addressing the problem?

After Office Space and "we fixed the glitch", simply saying "fixed the issue" leaves a lot to the imagination.
Is that for a debit card? I understand the liability in draining a checking account with nothing more than a 4-digit PIN. On the other hand, I would never bank at a place that made withdrawal restrictions a condition to access my money.

Others asked similar question regarding comparable projects. What's your take on OpenFL from Intel? Do you think Flower moves into more commercial-MLOps direction? Looks like OpenFL particularly focused on to academic imaging community.
I don't think the comment was about video quality, it was about usefulness/novelty. Is it also true that "requesting the download at the end" costs $15?
The climate boogeyman is starting to get less scary by the day which has led to it losing its effectiveness as a policy stick to prod the populace with. There have just been too many dire warnings, too many cries of the wolf coming to the door without the beast showing up. Whatever the climate will do is just too abstract, too far away and too big for any single individual to feel he or she has any influence over it. This is not changed by yet another scary report from the IPCC nor by yet even more dire predictions of coastal flooding, equatorial roasting and other doomsday foretellings.

This has led to some politicians setting the climate stick aside to reach for another one, e.g. in the Netherlands 'climate' has had to make way for 'nitrogen' as the main cause for our coming demise. Seeing how as cows farting methane did not rile up the populace enough to force the farmers to get rid of the beasts - they like their cheese and milk after all and feel some national pride in the farmer's prowess in producing ever more of it - politicians in need of a stick thought to have found one in the fact that they not only fart methane but also dump a significant amount of nitrogen [1] - i.e. 'fertiliser' - in the soil and air. And lo, the more you look, the more nitrogen you find, nitrous oxides produced by internal combustion engines (including jet engines) being a major source. With this new-found stick they started whipping up the populace, this time they really meant it, cows-be-gone and don't you dare build a house because that involves diesel-driven machinery which would exceed the nitrogen budget for the area [2]. It seems though that the population, tired of yet another doomsday scare, is not planning on cooperating [3] this time. What is a politician to do when not even a good righteous scare can push the voters in the desired direction?

I would find a project you are interested in. If you lack specific interests than I would go work on Haiku.

Agreed. Can't overstate the cost effectiveness. In the late 80s or early 90s you could put hundreds of dumb terminals on one network with just hubs for signal integrity. Plenty of collisions but it all worked itself out somehow if the throughput was light, such as text applications, text email, and a small amount of printing or sharing. This meant every university could have some kind of network scheme, making it a universal for the next gen.
Right. So it's up to you to educate your developers to not copy code from sources that have licenses incompatible with your project. Much the same as educating the same developers that "YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING SUGGESTIONS" from copilot. I do not see any difference here.

It's an extremely personal attack to claim software licencing is a joke to me. You have zero context on the work I do professionally and as open source. I'd appreciate it if you could limit your arguments to not include personal insults.

The tooling that it was designed for was things like https://youtu.be/agzItTz35QQ?t=709

Those were the intents that were set up.

Yes, it would be nice to have LLM style power - but that isn't how Siri was architected even from the very start. Word combinations are recognized as certain intents and parsed for functions to call into apps that register that they are able to handle that function call.

If there was no match for the intent, it was sent to Wolfram Alpha to do a knowledge base lookup. While Wolfram is really good, it certainly isn't a chat bot.

Siri wasn't supposed to be smart. Siri was intended for an interface to the existing apps of phone, music, messages, calendar, reminders, map routes, email, and weather.

When you look at that segment, 12:48 "just take your phone and ask Siri to set a timer for 30 minutes and you're done." Siri was very much intended as a timer setting app.

What functionality in there that you see in this segment that isn't designed as an interface to existing apps? What time cue do you see them promising something smarter than what was designed?

At my last job, I would have happily gone into the office at 3am to swap a hard drive if it meant I didn't have to pay my AWS bill anymore. Computers are cheap. Backups are annoying, but you have to do them in the cloud too. (Deleting your Cloud SQL instance accidentally deletes all the automatic backups; so you have to roll your own if you care at all. Things like that; cloud providers remove some annoyance, and then add their own. If you operate software in production, you have to tolerate annoyance!)

Self-managed Kubernetes is no picnic, but nothing operational is ever a picnic. If it's not debugging a weird networking issue with tcpdump while sitting on the datacenter floor, it's begging your account rep for an update on your ticket twice a day for 3 weeks. Pick your poison.
Probably because of biotech, which similar to Boston also going up. And maybe defense.
> Just because people from one group are part of the other and vice versa does not in any way mean that the groups themselves are linked.

No, that's quite literally a link. "Link" is a metaphor for a chain, and that's how a chain looks: interlinked. It be a link if they were even located in the same building.
Coincidentally carrot is down too
Happy to be proven wrong, but the weights are meaningless without the parts written by humans. If someone refers to any parts that are protected to write a new interface to the weights it would most likely be violate the law. Using the weights alone, it would be impossible to reverse engineer them using a clean-room to develop new interface to the weights.

>> There's no breach of contract because there was no agreement.

No, this is property laundering. If intentional, it’s a crime. If unintentional, the property owner need just notify the party of their rights, the remedy they’re seeking, and if needed, send a cease and desist.
> What does that mean? They now play by the same rules as other software

Yes.

They can do it... it's as if Iran's government prosecutor body charged someone living in the US of "not wearing a burka" or whatever crazy law. They can definitely do it, and they can try to move strings to get to them. Their success will depend on their power to enforce it and coerce other countries to surrender the person(s).

It's like the news we have seen in the last days, of different countries committing to arrest Putin for whatever crimes.

But yeah, I agree with your overall sentiment: This is a USA legal system/government arm (SEC) playing "world police". They should just tag Tron and related cryptos as "sanctioned/illegal schemes" and prosecute anyone in their country who uses/operates them. Anything else is just meddle with other countries' citizens.
I think this is very much a one way operation, which would imply some form of hash?
To me "we have no idea how" != "this is not fixable" (and even "we have no idea how" even seems like a strong statement.)

Perhaps it's because I'm ignorant about the inner workings, but calling the problem "unfixable" so early in the evolution of LLMs seems like foolish certainty.
Yes, in advertising terms these endorsements are not tactical but strategic. You want to create an ambience where people sense that everyone successful is now getting into crypto/NFTs. That kind of diffuse group pressure is much harder to consciously analyze than “do I want to buy this thing because Soulja Boy told me to?” — and thus much more effective over time.

Crypto seems to have been particularly powerful at preying on women and minorities who felt like they’re missing out with mainstream finance. This kind of highly focused influencer marketing within communities must have been a major contributor to its uptake.

The failures of the USSR does not mean the US is succeeding. It is possible for more than one thing to be bad. Power/wealth imbalances are bad wherever they appear. The USSR no longer exists, but the US does, and its imbalance is growing worse rapidly.
Any ideas for Calender alternatives?
To be fair, from the article it says that they built the bulk of the tool and did the first migration in a 6-week cycle. mrsk looks fairly straight forward, and feels like Capistrano but for containers. The first commit of mrsk is only on January 7th of this year.

In less than a six-week cycle, we built those operational foundations, shaped mrsk to its functional form and had Tadalist running in production on our own hardware.

We have 7 racks, 3 people and actual hardware stuff is minuscule part of that. Few hundred VMs, anything from "just a software running on server" to k8s stack (biggest one is 30 nodes), 2 ceph cluster (our and clients), and a bunch of other shit

The stuff you mentioned is, amortized, around 20% (automation ftw). The rest of it is stuff that we would do in cloud anyway and cloud is in general harder to debug too (we have few smaller projects managed in cloud for customers.

We did calculation to move to cloud few times now, never was even close to profotable and we woudn't save on manpower anyway as 24/7 on-call is still required.

So I call bullshit on that.

If you are startup, by all means go cloud

If you are small, go ahead, not worth it.

If you have spiky load, cloud or hybrid will most likely be cheaper.

But if you have constant (by that I mean difference between peak and lowest traffic is "only" like 50-60%) load and need a bunch of servers to run it (say 3+ racks), it might actually be cheaper on-site.

Or a bunch of dedicated servers. Then you don't need to bother to manage hardware, and in case of boom can even scale relatively quickly
I launched the Founder Mental Health Pledge (http://www.FounderPledge.com) a few days ago in the wake of the SVB crisis as founder's anxiety increased even more (when I saw someone tweet he had to stop his found friend from suicide, I had to take action).

Now 50+ venture capital firms and 150+ startup leaders covering 14K+ startups have signed the pledge to:

1) Destigmatize founder mental health and that of the larger startup ecosystem

2) Agree to mental health/wellness (therapy, coaching, group support, app-based solutions, etc) as a worthwhile and encouraged business expense for founders

I hope you (investors, startup leaders, ecosystem partners) will join the pledge: http://www.FounderPledge.com
