I’ve worked at an open office and its nothing alike, at least with young kids.

There’s screaming and crying, if your help is needed, it needs to be right now, kids wont take no for an answer, etc.

When I was in an open office, people generally kept a reasonable background volume my brain could tune out. As adults, they respected my answers the first time, and certainly no one screamed at me.
Back then LEDs were still quite a bit worse, so I got some spare incandescents too. I still have about 20 bulbs somewhere that I got for cheap as retailers were emptying their inventories. I have switched almost all lights to Ikea Tradfri bulbs that are controlled via Zigbee2MQTT and Home Assistant and I wouldn't go back. I still have an incandescent bulb in one lamp, but the Ikea ones set to the right temperature are so close I don't think I could tell them apart.
I came across this article on HN recently:

https://www.sevarg.net/2023/02/11/how-your-leds-are-killing-...
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34902429

After reading it, I realized that having overhead led lights in our home were possibly contributing to my worsening sleep and general tiredness over the past few years. Granted, we used 4100k lights which are much bluer than 2700k.

We swapped all our leds back to incandescents and halogens (which were a bit tricky to find, but not impossible). Anecdotally, I've been sleeping so much better since, finally feeling well rested and far less stressed. I just feel a tremendous amount of relief after not sleeping well for years.

Also, while we had leds, I had to replace a surprising number of them for burnout/failure, and also experienced flickering, dimming issues, buzzing and more.
ASR aren't science driven because of two cherry picked examples?

You can dislike Amir's methods, but you can't deny that he has transformed the audiophile space by just creating a website for his life passion and sharing his thoughts.

I feel a lot better buying hardware that has been thoroughly tested by ASR. I've even sent Amir some gear to be measured, he's the best of the bunch.
You should read up more on the opioid crisis and fentanyl specifically. Poverty and "lack of economic opportunity" is not a new thing. We're dealing with something entirely different and these armchair expert comments and opinions don't help things.

> According to UNODC, Vietnam’s drug overdose rate per million people was 36 in 2016. It was over 230 in the US at the same time.

How is this relevant to anything that I wrote? Besides, EU has lower drug overdoes rates than Vietnam without any need to execute anybody. Why do you think that we should kill people for these types of crimes when looking at the numbers it appears, to me, to do almost nothing to help solve the problem?

> You can treat addiction as a health issue while executing drug dealers. That’s what Singapore does.

Judging by the number of countries that don't execute anyone and have lower numbers why don't we just skip the killings?
fentanyl addicts are oppressing people these days? I hadn't heard that..
Hi!

This example was produced using GPT 3.5 turbo, where yes, the LLM does not always align ideally. I used 3.5 for the example since that's Marvin's default and I know many people wouldn't have gpt4 access yet (which is significantly better at following instructions) - didn't want to set a misleading expectation.

that said, my instructions for the bot in this example certainly could have been more precise :) for a more real example, you could check out the other example (which works pretty well on 3.5) https://github.com/PrefectHQ/marvin/blob/main/examples/load_...

My little one man agency supports 17 organizations now: https://github.com/orgs/A-Edge/sponsoring (+1 on OpenCollective)

Total amount was around $175/mo at one point, though recently I had to cut it back (now at $85, at $5/mo per project) when I switched from a paid project to a pre-revenue “startup” I'm now working on.

Not as sexy as $10'000 donations, of course :^) Hopefully I can scale it back up when my financial situation gets more sound.
There was a fascinating (but sadly discontinued) app called Shortcat for MacOS. It basically let you control your entire MacOS with keyboard typing texts.

Thus, this can actually be done at larger scale for over 10 years.

> how do you know those are the steppers Prusa uses? It's not written on their site.

It's an open secret that all stepper motors in all premium 3D Printer kits are LDO. Prusa, Voron, RatRig, it's all LDO. LDO also does white-label branding, so the motors say "Prusa Research" on them even though they are otherwise indistinguishable. This is not the first time Prusa does white-label branding - the "SuperPINDA" is actually developed and sold to anyone who wants it by Pepperl+Fuchs (a German company).
They increased price because everyone else did. They just happened to not be hit by the flu so their production was not hit.
I’m a big remote work skeptic, but this is persuasive to me.

Part of the reason I don’t remote work is because I’m unable to focus very well on remote work in a crowded household with small children… I would inevitably be doing more parenting when I should be working. But while that might be bad for work, it’s good for family… (my commute is only 15 minutes, so a lot of the other arguments here don’t really apply. It takes a couple minutes just to log in into the VPN…)

They have several different warm LED's at Home Depot. You can generally find 2100K to 3000K. Sometimes even 1800K in the specialty bulbs there.

They're not terrible, but the low CRI keeps me coming back to halogen.

HSTS is nice but it's mostly opt-in. Vast majority won't enable it. For that reason I decided to test out blocking outgoing port 80 connections, it's interesting what stops working. Some of these also raise questions, why do they stop working.

My favourite issue I stumbled upon is that Apple HomePods can't complete their first setup. Couldn't be bothered dumping what exactly they're doing, but it does raise a few questions. Though there are quite a few other things that break, like Debian/Ubuntu/apt repositories, Windows Update and Store and some games.
It's not really "deal with it" it's "learn the tool to start using it effectively".

If someone is having trouble learning how to use a lathe, that doesn't mean lathes are a "horrific mess" and need to be reworked, it means that person needs to learn more about the tool they're using and how to use it.
I wish I could say that. I have a 3 year old house that is about 3k square feet wiht alot of bulbs. Every bulb installed was LED and I have replaced most of them at this point, and some more then once.

As of 2021 institutional investors avoid getting their hands dirty by only voting about ninety percent of their shares. Individual investors show their “expertise” by voting a bit under thirty percent of their shares.

Say, when the corporate raiders buy a bunch of shares, how come the institutional investors still have theirs? That seems odd…
The last thing want is to talk to a AI bot when calling a company or health provider with questions. Due to where I live and my accent, these voice bots never work. So, anything to stop these from being commercialized is good to me.

But these articles about AI are nuts, some state AI will destroy all life on Earth. That was a headline I ran across that was suppose to be signed by some scientists. I did not read it because it sounded crazy.

Also, these GPT* things is not really AI, but word/sentence parsers and probably some fancy database lookup.
If you've never needed a high grade analgesic, you're going to lecture from a screen. But I recovered without significant emotional trauma and with great sleep and rest as a result of a month of oxycodone which I tapered with ibuprofen.

The opioid epidemic happens because 1/10 is a crazy ratio. It means every doctor is creating multiple addicts a week.

I'm fine with them denying this degree of painkiller to most people so long as ones like me can receive it. From my actual lived experience that it is not addictive, and that all of fentanyl, hydromorphone, and oxycodone were tremendously helpful, I'm not going to go along with this banning stuff.
I wish people advocating capitalism would visit my hometown in rural southeast US and see it too honestly. 18% of children and 25% of elderly adults under the poverty line. Every single family I know of directly touched by at least one of the wave after wave of addiction crises we've been having.

I seem as slightly different beasts, with different purposes though there’s some overlap. Primarily, JSON:API may return both content and errors at the same time, it’s not an either/or proposition. This can be quite useful with collections, for example, where some things succeeded, and other things failed. These types can also be used together, for example I’ve used problem details for catch all error handlers, so if one resource starts throwing unhandled errors we still get structured data instead of some random 500 status page that tells me nothing, while using JSON:API to let the resources communicate errors that are perhaps less unexpected (e.g. validation errors.)

It’d be nice though if JSON:API just referred to problem details and added extensions for the JSON:API specific bits.
What do you suppose will be the domestic political implications of such a ban?
What they really need to do is layoff BrightScript. They are certainly big in the streaming device space, but not enough to justify having a proprietary language. The rest of the industry is coalescing around portable apps based on web tech while Roku is derided and only begrudgingly supported due to their current market share. But Roku’s market share has been relatively flat while FireTV has grown to equal them, and Roku should be terrified of the cliff BrightScript puts them on. Every company would love to kill their oddball BrightScript app as soon as possible and that’s a dangerous position for a company without a defensible moat. See their lost battle with YouTube to see how much clout they actually have.

Maven is an excellent example where the original author forgot that XML attributes exist. Or rather he chose to use a use a terrible parser than didn't support them. And overly verbose names.

The above declares a project CLI tool with proj metadata and a defined coordinate producing a jar file with 1 compile time dependency and 1 test dependency.

SpaceX Alums Are Branching Out and Shaping the Startup Economy
When people use scratch with their kids, what tutorials do they follow? Do they try and figure things out from first principles, or are their popular content creators who make stuff? How do people transition their kids from scratch to Python? From my experience teaching, it seems like it's really hard for kids to make that transition.
Do we lump social media into this "social stuff"? Because I think there's mounting evidence that we aren't particularly good at managing it rationally. As I read it, that's really what the article and the law are about: how social media can be leveraged by adversarial actors by leveraging our irrational/unhealthy relationship with it.

Or, alternatively, maybe that's the how the veiled power-grab is being framed. But we'd probably still need to undermine that claim about irrationality to offer an alternative.
Snowden sounded like US got access to your data regardless of TLS.

> My first encounter with the SR-71 came when I was 10 years old in the form of molded black plastic in a Revell kit.

> Twenty-nine years later, I stood awe-struck in a Beale Air Force Base hangar, staring at the very real SR-71 before me.

> In 1962, the first Blackbird successfully flew, and in 1966, the same year I graduated from high school, the Air Force began flying operational SR-71 missions.

> I came to the program in 1983

So the author was born in 1944 if they were 39 (29+ 10) in 1983.

1966 then puts them graduating at 22 (was high school longer back then? I wouldn’t have thought so and he’s supposed to have a stellar record and 22 feels a little old for joining the military) and playing with the SR-71 model in 1952 before it was even conceived in 1960.

This looks really cool! But rather than building from scratch or making extensive hardware modifications, it makes me wonder if anyone has tried developing open-source firmware for existing espresso machines?

I have a Delonghi bean-to-cup machine. It's quite capable of making decent coffee but also has some unfortunate software behaviours that result in inconsistent output. Most annoyingly, it gives extremely limited control over grind time and thus the quantity of grounds in each shot. If the hopper runs out of beans or you switch to a different type of beans, it gets confused and tries to adjust the grind time on it's own, usually overcompensating and resulting in either too much coffee in the shot (pump struggles to express anything) or too little (thin, bitter, over-extracted shot).

If I could control grind time precicely, it would hugely improve the consistency my coffee. I could set up a profile for each type of bean that I use and fine-tune my shots.

Has anyone tried to hack or customise software on Delonghi (or any other) bean-to-cup machine? Any projects out there to do this?
Does any of that matter if it acts on what it expresses? (Once given a body or other way to interact with the environment)
I remember encountering number 4 in the wild, so I think it deserves to be a genuine "wat". That said, I'm not sure why I (or anyone else) thought I would need to use the identity operator on numbers, but it's certainly a head-scratcher until you dig into the underlying reason.

The math here seems disingenuous. There were 10 accounts with 13B in uninsured deposits. The FDIC used 18B to back the entire deposits of the bank. That doesn't mean 13B / 18B went to those 10 accounts.

A better way of thinking about it would be something like: SVB had 170B (random estimate) in uninsured deposits. 13B of the uninsured deposits were from 10 accounts. So (13B / 170B) * 18B = 1.3B went to those 10 accounts.
The light temperature plays a lot into it. It's why those industrial edison bulbs are so trendy and popular. The warmer the light, the cozier at night. Warm being color and not tempurature. 2700k being the ideal.
Ironically, the plane was dripping, much like the misshapen model had assembled in my youth. Fuel was seeping through the joints, raining down on the hangar floor. At Mach 3, the plane would expand several inches because of the severe temperature, which could heat the leading edge of the wing to 1,100 degrees. To prevent cracking, expansion joints had been built into the plane. Sealant resembling rubber glue covered the seams, but when the plane was subsonic, fuel would leak through the joints.

Wouldn't this be a major hazard on the ground?

> I actually am opposed to bans on traditional incandescent bulbs

AFAIK, there are no simple bans on them [ EDIT: in the USA ]. What exists are energy performance standards, which these bulbs do not meet. If you want, you can say that this is nit-picking, and that of course that's a ban.

But when we have energy performance standards for, say, cars, nobody says it is a ban on cars, just a effective end to the production of inefficient ones.
