It used to be as you say, then PG shat out some blogspam and downvotes became 'i disagree' as well, for the simple reason of 'pg mentioned it once'.

The times the correct information has been downvoted to 'dead' is pretty sad.

I used to make a game of replying on them to point out the hypocrisy.

Pg was also solely responsible for beginning sources with [0].

Tell HN: Gitlab wants us to pay for support.. to fix their billing issue
We've been using gitlab for a number of years now. Paying for multiple 60$ per year 10GB LFS storage packs.

This morning I bought another, which triggered a billing issue. It appears we've been triple charged.

So I opened a support ticket: which was auto-closed.

Their bot's explanation is that we need to have a "named contact with an organization that has a paid subscription".

I thought maybe this was a bug, but no I opened a second ticket under my username's email and it too was instantly closed.

So now we've overpaid for storage we cannot use, and cannot even contact support to have the issue fixed.
Don't you think it'd be better to ratify the most vile proposal while the ideals of freedom still have majority reign? To create a fiasco so enduring it won't soon be forgotten? And before tools of mass manipulation become any more technologically sophisticated?

If I'm reading [1] correctly, we're just picking up momentum down a decades-long slippery slope.

Israel Boils as Netanyahu Ousts Minister Who Bucked Court Overhaul
It may be worth noting that Apple themselves did sort of break "record whatever you want" on iOS, just a few years after this suppsed conversation. It may or may not have been intentional: they removed shared memory access from iOS, which broke JACK (and some other similar systems) on that platform. Some other developers did eventually find a different way to accomplish a similar goal, but it had nothing in common with the solutions available then (and now) on macOS and forced a significant code fork for anyone trying to design inter-application audio routing on Apple platforms.
Ah, that kind of staking. Thanks.

That would be lovely, considering the staffing shortages, assuming it doesn't deprive people of their remaining autonomy – when you start doing things for old folks, they tend to lose the capacity to do it themselves, surprisingly quickly.

There's already lots of tech in nursing homes to make transferring people easier on the caregivers, but full automation would be great.

But beyond that, getting people out of bed is one thing. Undressed, washed, skin treatments applied, dressed is another.
Last time that technological revolution threatened this many people's livelihoods we got rise of Hitler and WWII (propelled by the petite-bourgeoisie), and I imagine that this time we won't get away without a conflict of a large caliber either (fighting over the distribution of the AI spoils)
Doesn't every startup come bundled with one?
The keyword here is 'much higher'. It is of course not guaranteed. As a developer, if somebody already done the trouble shooting or even root cause finding for you. You are more likely to fix the bug first because it will only cost you a little time compares to other completely non-investigated error report. And that also benefit the users because they got the bug affecting them fixed earlier. This don't happen in closed source softwares.
The first line itself struck me as amazing! What is the purpose of a company? Do you think a company would exist/ be funded if the company did not pay back the investor in some way?

We may argue that this particular buyback was ill timed, but still, banning all buybacks is a very very strange idea

Modi and the Death of India's Democracy
Hazarding a guess: the 'really dumb thing' is portraying democratic government as a distinct, foreign, hostile, and alien entity that any sane and morally upstanding person would minimize their interaction with, barely giving theirs 'unto Caesar' and getting away as quickly as possible. It teaches and reinforces apathy and learned helplessness when it comes to effecting change on matters of public policy. Ultimately, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Since the blog author didn't mention it, or doesn't know about it, fun fact, you can store host keys in DNS (make sure to use DNSSEC too of course!)

I bet they are great. I feel the same about Rappi compared to Uber Eats of Grubhub in South America after spending a few months there. They are trying to break into the US now I believe, but honestly I don't think Americans will care even when it's a much better app overall. It's hard to make people change once they are invested in one platform, unless you are offering them much better value for money or something completely new and revolutionary like TikTok, but just a better UX won't do it. We will see.
Being pre-Covid-pandemic casts the casual mention of pathogen gain-of-function research in a different light.
Sorry, just saw this. I do some sports that are 50 miles from the city, and there's no public transportation, not even any private transportation. Skiing is one such activity, but hiking and camping in the summer time. I do recognize that I'm using energy to do these things. I'd love to take a bus. Actually in my west coast city, during the summer they have bus service to a number of area hiking trails, within 10 miles of the city. But these other farther away activities are out of that reach.
Perhaps they want to get themselves traced on a public ledger and to join the long list of gangs caught and arrested by the authorities each week?

Once again, Bitcoin is worse for scammers, criminals and ransomware than using Zelle and the banks for fraud.

You should be asking why the banks continue to move trillions of dollars of illicit funds for criminals for years without them doing anything. Same with Zelle.
There are alternative UI designs that would make it easier to deal with, though. It could be a tree structured conversation. Or, have a way to clone a previous conversation, delete the last few messages, and continue from there.

Maybe one day AI will allow completely unskilled laypeople, ignorant of software, to build and deploy software end to end with no involvement from any software engineers, testers, SREs, anything. That would be the power loom of our time - the power loom allowed unskilled workers to completely replace skilled hand loom weavers with no drop in quality of output.

When that's possible, the world will be very different. Right at this moment, AI is still useless for unskilled workers trying to write software, it's just a productivity multiplier for skilled engineers.

Partially yeah, as well as the complete lack of legislative initiative for the parliament, the only part that's directly elected by citizens.

On the other hand though: Europeans kinda suck as a blob. See Italy electing fascists again, Germany stagnating for decades under Conservative control, basically everything east of Germany etc. Etc. The parliament is dominated by Conservative authoritarian forces as well. In that sense EU legislature is just too good at representing it's people.

I gave a speech to my computer science course when the new copyright directive was about to go into its final trilogue round in 2018. Wide agreement in discussion afterwards, but not a single student cared enough to make their wishes known to their MEPs. If even they don't do it, i can only say we're getting what we asked for.
I think you’re spot on. Elves and whatnot.
Also surprisingly capable at generating sample timing libs for arbitrary circuit topologies and calculating min and max delays after a little bit of guidance.

I think you are misinterpreting "push". In the comment you replied to, it is (I believe) being used in the sense of "pressure, force, compel", rather than "provide with opportunity". My reading of TedDoesntTalk's comment does not indicate that they were provided with no support or opportunity - merely that the motivation to persist with those opportunities, once they ceased being easy fun distractions and required dedication for improvement, arose internally.
Adding hold-delays to anything is the opposite of juicy.

I imagine there is significant value alone from stating your situation explicitly in writing.
Again. Use cases.
Let me see. I am an artist, I have visual thinking, for me idea is build trough sketching and iteration. Why sketches are important? Because in creating something, the low level representation (as in wireframes for UX) gives a stimulus to a different view. For me is a habit to preserve all the sketches and make revisions without thinking hard. This is the design creative process.
Ideas emerge with switching between System 1 and System 2 thinking.

The trend with generative design automatically pushes the user towards high fidelity thinking.
I am afraid that linguistic interfaces are in conflict with a natural human creativity. They are useful as a tool for specific use cases, but the idea that they will replace or augment the design process is ludicrous.

Another problem for me is the post effect of prompting. Millions of people will have little to no incentive to learn. This is gamification of the design process, with unknown social and economical effect.
People have a tendency to search for the easy question and answer. This is not progress at all.

The push from A.I. marketing is immense and people are freaking out. This is the first tech product which is having a negative impact before even reaching broad adoption.

Suddenly A.I. ethics teams are fired and nobody has any issue with alignment and black box? Ok, computer.

For me, the responsible thing is governments to regulate the implementation process with frameworks which are not so hard to build on ethical basis. The Roman law will always give a loophole for exploitation by the big corporations.

Don't get me wrong. ChatGPT is a very powerful tool for summarization, sentiment analysis, text classification, codebase documentation etc.
But the design industry implementation in my view is not well thought. I would like to have assistant, not generator. As a designer, there are a ton of use cases for automation, interactive help, etc. Sadly, we are going in a direction which will produce polished mediocrity on a grand scale. Soon we will need fact checking A.I. and A.I. content blocking everywhere.

The other day, I shot some footage with my Blackmagic camera and proceed to do some editing and color correction. Virtually nowhere, I had the need for linguistic interface. We have powerful tools in our disposal as it is. The content is the problem. Dopamine driven short forms are changing the way people interact with the world. The average attention span in 2000 was 12 seconds, in 2015 – 8.25 seconds, today is less. So the tech industry tries hard to convince all of us that the progress is in merging with the machines and living 24/7 in A.I. induced coma? No, thanks. Keep your SOMA for yourselves. We like it natural here:)
I recognize that you were not trying to allude to the countless times where the limitation of rights were used to cause harm. I also recognize that good and bad justifications are not the same thing. My thinking is simply that there are better examples than Syphilis and HIV, such as seat belts or speed limits. What I saw you say was "You live in a society that actively limits the spread of these diseases" and I'm saying that is a poor example of justification for such limitations because:

1) The listener might be disease-free regardless of society's efforts (the limitation's benefit might not be relatable)

2) We live in a society that actively spreads diseases in the name of protection and profit (the justification behind limitations might be engineered)

3) These diseases still exist in unknown quantities (the limitations might be ineffective)

A better example would be something like seat belts or speed limits because:

1) The listener is far more likely to have been in or around a vehicle than they are to have contracted syphilis. (the limitation's benefit is relatable)

2) There are no instances of seat belts or speed limits having been used to justify excessive harm. (the limitation's benefit cannot be argued as having been engineered)

3) The impact on safety is far easier to measure and compare. (the limitation's effectiveness can be measured immediately)

But if you don't believe any of this to be relevant, then I must accept that. Thank you for your time.
People with EVs in Ukraine have had big problems. One generator per 5k vehicles is not hard to do. It's not just about that one trip, but surviving long enough to actually be able to extricate yourself from a difficult situation. Traffic as you mentioned, and other very real dangers that mean you can't sit in traffic even if you wanted to. Sometimes you need to be able to move after waiting for an extended period of time in an isolated situation. etc.

When I was 12 years old our class got punished for something childish. The teacher gave us an assignment to write I will not chew gum in class 100 times. Everybody was pissed. I did:

10 set i=1
20 i=i+1
20 print i, ". I will not chew gum in class"
30 if i<100 goto 20
40 exit

or something similar.

Gather the contact info of everyone you can find at the company and contact them, describing the problem. I doubt that this is intentional, and I would bet that they would want to know about this.

Good advice. In our particular case, we bought a new home and are letting family member stay at old one, so have two mortgages.
At one point around the turn of the 20th century, two guys riding on horses side by side came upon an automobile going about the same speed. The one guy said to the other, “I don’t get what people see in these automobiles. We are going just as fast on our horses. These autos aren’t going to last very long.”

And they were on a relatively flat part of the tech curve…

I recommend everyone visit an estate sale at least once. You're not going to buy anything, but rather to see all the things someone valued, but that have almost no value to everyone else.

That 90+ piece set of beautiful cutlery in silver? The highest bid will be below its melt value, because that's exactly what they'll do with it.

The well-crafted piece of furniture that was made by an artisan from carefully selected wood? No one is bidding on it at all because it doesn't fit modern aesthetics or considerations.

The carefully curated personal libraries, with no particularly collectible editions or rare books? Being sold for weight.

It really helps put this in perspective as to just exactly what is worth preserving and what isn't. What is important to you, but essentially junk to everyone else.

Because it's making people itchy to spend it (or invest it into something productive or at least inflation-neutral).

Until either inflation itself or other forces (such as interest rates) counterbalance that effect, we'll be seeing increased spending velocity – the other component of inflation besides the amount.

The specs themselves come with a lot of rationale for decisions taken.

But, as a starting point (from zero), I recommend the "RISC-V Reader" book, by the main authors of the ISA, as it makes a great introduction to the design of RISC-V.
> Try examining the above script. It's a lot of work. It's not just a bunch of wget's and cp's, there are a bunch of subroutines and conditionals. Too much to look at.

This would be a reasonable counter-argument if most people could honestly claim to have inspected the source of >1% of the things they'd installed from apt-get/yum/etc.

"But I trust the maintainers of those repositories to verify correctness" - yes, and people trust the Rust maintainers, too.

I'll grant you that uninstallation is usually a good argument (though not in this particular case).
What I want, is to be able to go into a place where i poop, pee, spit, and get my blood taken... and it analyses it on the fly, and based off a large dataset it can diagnose if further checks are needing to be taken.

I want to minimise how many people i see... just make it all automated (and on demand) and that would be great.

Competition is good, for time insensitive fungible things of comparable quality. It can also be good for a reverse dutch auction (within a geographic area) contract price (going rate for the year / timeframe) for a given number of procedures of a sort.

I think the ACA (Obamacare) tried far too hard to reach a compromise and fell short. A singe player, taxpayer funded baseline medical care for all organized by by the government as a healthcare provider program is the only answer for a society where we agree everyone should have the right to medically necessary procedures so they can be productive members of society.
> folks who simply defaulted to it as a platform,

One thing that was unique about the 8-bit Arduino was that while the board itself was common for prototyping, it wasn't that hard to put an AVR chip on a breadboard for permanent projects or just for the sake of doing it and there were plenty of tutorials. There was even built-in support in the IDE for using an Arduino board as a ISP programmer for a raw chip by connecting a few wires.

With the Raspberry Pi, hardly anyone who used it would ever build their own/modify the design of the board itself.
> The data collected by 365 Data Science also shows that a narrow majority of the staff who were let go (56 percent) were female. This is worrying, given that the tech industry has spent much of the last decade attempting to address the gender imbalance already present within the field – particularly within technical and engineering roles. It doesn’t exactly send out a great message to potential new female hires that, as well as a pay gap and a lower likelihood of progressing into senior roles, they will have to content with a greater chance of being let go.

Just a few paragraphs earlier, the article mentioned that HR was most affected:

> However, it is interesting to note that the roles and job functions most affected were within HR, which accounted for 28 percent of all layoffs.

If they're going to mention the gender breakdown of people laid off they have to make note of gender representation of the roles going through layoffs in order to make an honest comparison.
Seems like refusing to answer is for PR and usability purposes, not safety. They want people to learn what the tool is supposed to be good for, both from using the tool directly and by sharing examples.

If some of the examples are about how to troll it and it’s obvious that it’s being trolled, well, you can do that, but they won’t get mistaken for things the tool is actually supposed to be good for, so nobody is confused.
