If a gradient exists in reality, establishing where along the gradient you are is a meaningful statement about reality.

It may not be exactly clear where a temperature becomes 'hot', but the sun is still not a great place to host your wedding. If I ask a designer for black text on a white page and they come back with gray text on a gray page, nobody is going to be able to read it. My complaint to the designer or the head of tourism on the sun is not a semantic one, it has very real implications beyond linguistic.

I disagree that consciousness is along the axis of intelligence and awareness. My computer is aware of a thousand services and is smart enough to allocate resources to each of them and perform billions of mathematical operations in a second. My cat thinks his tail is a snake sometimes, and has never performed so much as an addition. But my best guess is that the cat is the conscious one. I expect you can produce qualia with no intelligence or awareness at all.

hi all, i'm the creator of ngrok. we released a similar SDK for Go a couple weeks ago [1] and we're really excited to make it just as easy to listen on the internet as it is to listen on a local port for all the Rustaceans out there now too :)

happy to answer any questions!

It would be cheap, however, to let kids opt out of painful activities. I was always happy to read a book and entertain myself as I was reading at an adult level at age 6. It's expensive, on the other hand, for the teacher to pick a fight about it.

Obviously so.

You'll note I said "vegetarian" above rather than "vegan", despite the reasons (I could quote PETA but I won't bother) that milk itself can be well described as an abomination.

Thing is though, as we become better artisans, the comparative benefits of "natural" over artificial are ever reduced.

The ban proposed in the link reminds me of the early years of motorcars, when they were limited to a few miles per hour lest they scare the horses.

Tests are plentiful and easy. If you think you have it, get a test and find out. You still did the right thing by isolating, but advocating for aspirin and Claritin as relief for covid while not actually knowing for sure you had it is not as good. In fact, it can be dangerous, given those two drugs may interact with things others take but then read this and assume it's an effective treatment. You could have just been having an allergic reaction to early spring.
There is a second network interface attached to each pod and that interfaces are connected to vxlan-based overlay network. So during the migration VM can keep the same ip address (APR will take care of traffic finding it's destination). That is simplest approach but has it's own downsides when overlay network grows big and painful to set up with some cloud SNI.

Few other options are:

* use some SDN instead of vxlan

* use QUICK instead of TCP in the internal network -- with QUICK we can change endpoint IP addresses on live connection
It's the total lack of security. With the automatic consequence that all kinds security theater get imposed, stripping people of all kinds of rights, and solving none of the problems.

As a customer, I don't see the fees. But yes, by an eagle-eyes view the amount of inefficiency on the system is a problem too, as is the oligopolization. But those don't get in my mind when I make that kind of choice.

Car paint colors are driven by pull from franchised dealers and the dealership financing model, as well as by push from supply chain issues. In the US at least, most mainstream consumers expect to buy a car from dealer inventory and drive it away that day. So dealers mostly order only a few bland colors because most consumers are willing to settle for those as long as the car has the options they want and they get a good price. Like maybe you would prefer a bright green car but will settle for gray because the dealer offers low-interest financing. Dealers also incur inventory costs (floorplan financing) and their business model depends on rapid turnover so they can't afford to order "lot poison" that sits for months waiting for the right customer. Reducing color choices also simplifies manufacturing operations.

Some luxury or performance oriented car brands such as Porsche and Tesla do allow color orders from a wider palette, sometimes to the extent of even doing custom paint blending to match a customer sample. But those customers are willing to wait longer and pay more. They don't need basic transportation to get to work tomorrow.
Agreed. In the beginning I was worried I was reading something written by a LLM, but then halfway through I realized it was still coherent and really enjoyed it.

Simple, because for running Linux there are not that many options. And the X1 Carbon is very nice hardware.

Also, with that mentality, we would never extend Linux support to new hardware.

How does the law work? If you nab a pile of money from your customers and give it to your family, and then get sued, what happens? If you lose, does the court reverse all the transactions and give it to the creditors? Or can you just have your parents give you money to live off when you're out of jail? Surely not?
That... is an excellent observation.
Getting the technology working is not the hard part. As with EVs in general, the difficulty is in the deployment. And if you thought rolling out a charging network was difficult... here's just a few things you need to consider:

- How many such systems are there? Are they compatible, or will cars sold in one state/region not be able to charge in another?

- Can it be retrofitted onto existing cars or would people need to buy entirely new cars to make use of this?

- What happens when construction crews need to work on the roadway? Lanes are often shifted with cones or temporary paint, which won't follow the tracks.

- How expensive is it to install and maintain? We already have so much infrastructure that we have trouble keeping it going, and this adds extra costs on top of that. See how many bridges we have in poor condition. And what happens when it's not maintained?

- Who owns the technology behind it? Will they still support it 10 years from now? 20? 50?

Sure, it could work - but I think you're underestimating the logistics of actually rolling something like this out. The battery supply chain is a problem, but I don't think it's enough of a problem that electrifying highways would be simpler.

> Our options are: keep burning fossil fuels until they run out, transition to electric vehicles in a reasonably scalable way, or do away with cars entirely.

This is a false dichotomy. We can reduce our dependence on cars without fully eliminating them. (Oh, and smaller EV batteries are more practical if the places you're going are closer together anyway, even if they're not quite within walking or biking distance.)
What would an "example" of these facts about how C++ is defined even mean? As you've observed, you don't care anyway, you can clamp your hands firmly over your eyes and see no evidence of a problem.

The Committee doesn't need to write more, and more, and more IFNDR into the language standard - there are other ways forward, but it's easier and C++ programmers have had their hands clamped hard over their eyes for decades at this point so why not ?

I think this is a different take than many others would have on the topic of reading. I know I regret spending time reading things that do not "spark joy", to put it pithily.
Gifting is a subset of giving.
Well most fraud trials involve a person stealing directly from their company.

Atleast SBF took the extra step of first funneling money to Alameda and then directing Alameda to send it back to him and then send it to his dad as a tax free gift.

That way he could honestly say he personally has no money left.

That atleast makes it harder for FTX to claw back that money.

One interesting thing a lawyer pointed out to me is that a lawyer has a duty to ensure that the money used to pay them wasn't from the proceeds of a crime.

I wonder how SBF's lawyers have done thier diligence in this case and satisified themselves that this wont' get them into trouble with the state bar.
I presume so, but I wouldn't know because I haven't ever tried.

I’d think that gift is slightly different in this situation in that a gift severs control completely vs theoretically you can give someone an item with the expectation of getting it back.

It’s really splitting hairs though, what is your problem with the word gifted? I’ve never seen someone critique it’s use before
Maybe because "gift" has a specific meaning in the tax code, especially with money transfers that involve immediate family members. No idea if that's why Forbes is using that language though.

Well I get that would make sense in that kind of environment. Best way to not hurt your customers is to never even risk it - why would you?

But my agenda is more selfish. I like to cold-smoke meats for adding to stews, based on the knowledge that stewing in > 85'C [1] water will destroy the botulism toxin. I could just stay away from cold-smoked meats to be safe; but then I would lose out on some of the tastiest food ever :-)

It can be a confusing topic because there are 3 different things to worry about: the active bacteria, the spores, and the toxin. Of the 3, the spores are the most resistant to heat, and according to the WHO link [1] can survive multiple hours in boiling water. However the toxin seems relatively unstable.

I really need to track down their sources though.

To me, using Gift implies his father wrote it off on taxes as part of his lifetime gift exemption ($12.06 million). It just means SBF gave $10M to his father and his father didn't have to pay taxes on that money because he reported it as a gift.

It doesn't add much to the story though.

Edit: Thanks to comments below I found out the sender pays the tax if over $12.06M not the receiver of the gift.
No, I know that. A steak is one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten, for sure.

But I still have self control, I don't have do do anything that feels good. I just don't want something sentient to die for my dinner, that's all it is.
This isn’t that money! It’s entirely different money I saved while spending the Alameda cash!
Why do you say “vampires” specifically, as opposed to say “zombies”?
>Why do we need gift as a verb all of a sudden?

All of a sudden? I'm in my 30's and "gifting" as a verb has been pretty commonplace for as long as I can remember...

Is there something inherently wrong with that?
I've known dogs that have lived on very varied diets (including most human food sans poisons like grapes), and other dogs that had very strictly controlled diets because they were sensitive to pretty much anything and everything.

Many breeds of modern dogs are very far removed from the lifestyle and habits of their wild brethren.

It's worth considering that our recent obsession with the "caveman diet" is the extension (and obvious continuation) of the early modern "noble savage" construct. It seems we ran out of culture clashes of colonization and now are trying to colonize the past to process our anxieties and dissatisfactions.
No, the SEC has said "most crypto tokens are securities" and coinbase doesn't like that answer, so they asked "Specifically tell us why and how specific tokens are securities" and the SEC has not responded to that request because helping companies skirt securities regulations is not part of their job, in the same way the IRS does not recommend which banks are bad about sending them tax info and the same way someone working for social services cannot legally instruct you on how to hide your assets so that you can get covered by state end of life care.

Here's an example with Staph food poisoning[1]. The bacteria dies when you cook it, but the enterotoxins that Staph generates aren't broken down by heat and remain (section 4). It's good to not consume live Staph, but contaminated food can still cause issues despite cooking.

Dogs have much shorter GI tracts compared to humans. Just that fact means there's less opportunity for bacteria/toxins from rotted food to affect them.

I'm not aware of any EV that requires/recommends differential oil change schedules. Pretty much all fluids in EVs are 'lifetime' because there's no chance of fouling caused by engine blowby, unlike gas cars.

Even gas cars typically have 'lifetime' differential oil fills these days. With no chance of contamination from blowby, there's not really any other mechanism for degradation besides oil just degrading over time from heating/cooling.
Ask HN: Is there a good LTS alternative to Ubuntu?
I have lost all trust in Canonical, and in turn, Ubuntu. The push of the Snap store has been terrible, and the documentation for using them is even worse. I have to use a separate distribution or repo for installing Chrome in a containerized environment now, because Canonical has replace it with a shim telling you to install the snap.

Is anyone using a distribution with good long term support that has good support on x86 and ARM?

>“a gold mine of ethnohistorical accounts makes it clear that the revulsion Westerners feel toward putrid meat and maggots is not hardwired in our genome but is instead culturally learned,” Speth says.

These two statements aren't necessarily in contraindication of one another. The revulsion can be both hardwired in our genome and we can culturally train ourselves to ignore that revulsion.
Acetaminophen has become a target lately, but the numbers don't really support that level of worry. Relatively few people are injured by acetaminophen overdose, and a large fraction of those are intentional suicide attempts.

"Prompt engineering" is a made up thing. There's not some magic William Gibson prompt cowboy who through some innate intuition can master prompts the way nobody else can.

It's a deterministic model. There's plenty of interesting explainability work, or however you want to frame it, to be done understanding the connection between different prompts and outputs. But it's clearly in the province of real ML researchers who have experience on the area, and will approach it scientifically. 335k for someone good at that is not unusual at all, they have lots of options.
All the websites look the same but it's mostly because all the frameworks are the same. I'm thinking mainly of Bootstrap and Zurb Foundation. They share a lot of the same principles such as the 12-column grid, general typographic dimensions, button styles, etc. Granted, a lot of that stuff is for good reasons. In point of actual fact, I've studied their final CSS products and they share quite many implementation details.

There's also that "rule of threes" which almost every client likes.

Also, most of the new fonts are derivative. Amazon Ember looks like a bland mashup of Calibri and ITC Officina, like the latter of which a lot of other fonts look, and the former of which is bland as heck.

Bitstream eVera Sans is a fugly bizarro version of Verdana/Tahoma.

Aren't tax free gifts capped at $14,000.00 per year?

I agree with your summary but to me it seems like a useful point of insight. Analogous to the saying "when you find yourself in a hole that's getting deeper the first thing to do is stop digging". Something that seems like common sense but is hard to grasp when you're in the hole, unless someone explicitly points it out.

One might also decide that this article is wrong, but it could still be worth considering the point to reject it.

I wonder if this has to do with the Steve Jobs/Apple-ification of software, followed by a bastardization of those principles. It feels like during the "computers as the intersection of art and technology" era, it was understood that while the goal was to create something beautifully designed, the way to get there was through feats of technical ingenuity, and that design included a large functionality component. Then computers got super duper fast, and it became possible for web software to keep the "art" part (being visually gorgeous) but not the "technology" part (being slow as shit).
Europeans are always going on about how their right wing is to the left of America's left wing (as if any American should care).
