Gifts larger than 14k essentially count against your eventual estate tax exclusion.

If you give away $12.06 million on the day before you die (which would be tax-free), then the entirety of your estate is taxed at 40% (both 2022 numbers). If you die without having made any gifts exceeding $14k, then the first $12.06 million of your estate is not taxed at all, and the remainder is taxed at 40%

I've only been using it for a few days and already find this post amusing. Almost hit a "come on, man, just get it" moment.

Incredible technology, though. Feels like whoever decides not to use it will be at huge disadvantage real soon
Nice article. I just put it to my to-read list.
This. Y'all need to read more history.
Fun read, but it feels vaguely dystopian to me. The TVA is very, y'know, bad? And using it as your example of how to control org culture because "It can get problematic if the employees start to question the TVA" feels like the kind of thing you only do when critiquing or satirizing corporate consultancies.

Similarly, I am by no means educated on workplace whatnot in general or the Nadler-Tushman Congruence Model specifically, but, at least to me, the diagram under "Evaluating Congruence" would be good parody of a meaningless powerpoint slide if it wasn't real. I think it's the word "Strategy" added in small text to a random arrow that really takes it to the level where my brain needs to start evaluating whether I'm looking at a parody.
I had the same feeling about bootstrap (and I also never really bought into it when I used it back in the day; I figured something better would come along)

Tailwind is not that. Tailwind might disappear over time, but only because future improvements to CSS might borrow ideas from Tailwind

Most code has type annotations but we don't enforce it. A lot of code was written before typing became well supported and we never went back to add it to every old piece of code, we add them when people touch related code sections.

Typing definitely makes it a lot easier to navigate the codebase. But in the end maintaining any large codebase is a question of discipline which starts with simple things like code layout, class and function names, isolation of functionality.
Any research on how many people experience it? I’m not convinced it’s as wide spread as people say. Usually the people on HN who always say this (usually in doomer VR will never work posts) never seem to be people who have spent much time using VR, and either relay hearsay or only played around with VR once with some old device for a short period. It takes time to get used to VR and not all devices/content are the same.

I’d be surprised if it was more than 5-15% of people after long term exposure and across a wide variety of content… which would be a problem yes but hardly a market killer and the tech is always getting better.

This changes the pool of potential buyers, and therefore the market is quite different than the normal Palo Alto market.

We can understand a thousand instances "how", but it will always be "why" that ties them together.

Like software incompatibility: every program is the story of "how", written explicitly, and translated into instructions. The only way to fit them together is to implement "why". If we could write both stories together, we could factor out incompatibility.

Stationary systems do not call for conventional batteries. They would be something else entirely if we are serious about the problem.
It's not entirely clear to me how this would work though. Right now we don't have AI-powered reporters scouring the streets for articles to write about - we have humans who write articles about things that humans would find interesting.

If people move to reading their news through AI aggregators rather than reading articles written by humans, why would humans keep writing articles? It takes time and it costs money.

It's the same with AI code-generation based largely on programming blog posts and stack overflow questions. A lot of the blog posts will stop being written if people move to using AI models instead of reading blogs.
Back to these times. I try to remake a N body problem simulator. I was trying to imitate an old DOS program called "GRAVITY.EXE" on VB6
I throw it, when I saw that my VB6 was slower that the old 16 bit DOS program, and that setting the timer control to throw events too fast, could make Windows unresponsive.
No, it isn’t. The definition is of a metaphor. A metaphor doesn’t become a literalism just because a dictionary included it.

>> 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.

I am pretty sure it's the source of the money that matters more (legal vs. illegal) than whether the accounting tricks are legally sound.

What you're saying sounds like "at least he wasn't a complete numb-nuts", but that's not much of an "at least" in this scenario.

I am pretty sure the courts will be looking for an "at least he wasn't stealing from his customers".

At least, that's the sane hope.

Here are some objectively true facts:

1. Cows emit a lot of methane

2. Methane warms the planet

3. Warming the planet is bad for humans

4. We can easily replace cows with other animals and plants that warm the planet a lot less

It doesn't matter that wild bison used to do the same thing, this is the situation we're in. Unlike with wild bison, we are in full control now and we can simply stop making more cattle without any negative environmental effects. It is a factor to look at. We are not in a position to be ignoring big factors because they taste good.

> most sequestration investments and drives are often little more than a scam, copium, equivalent to the push malicious push for single use plastics recycling by plastic manufacturers

I agree but it's totally irrelevant to this conversation.

> There is one source we keep making excuses for

Counterpoint: no we don't. Who is we? I challenge you to find a single person who both advocates for less cow consumption because of the climate impact and promotes more fossil fuel consumption. I don't think such a person exists.

> Wish to reduce that ouput to buy ourselves some time [strawman removed] and you basically end up with chicken and similar animals as the acceptable solution.

Yes, exactly, I'm glad we're on the same page. Quickly phasing out cattle would buy us a LOT of time, like decades.

> I agree it's an issue. However remove it and you'll have a different one.

I mean, ok, if you want to give up I guess I can't stop you, but can you at least keep it to yourself and not try to bring everyone else down with you? "We should just stop burning oil, nothing else matters" is a) not true, and b) equivalent to giving up, unless you have some secret plan to accomplish that extremely quickly. "Go back in time and keep all the hydrocarbons in the ground" is not an option, they've already been burned and they're already warming the planet and we're in a crisis now.
Same, nothing about the verbiage struck me as odd. Perhaps the Germans in here think SBF has poisoned his father?
Yes; but that's the smaller problem.

I think LLMs could definitely help us stop treating large piles as "lists" (to be completed). You can just "dialogue" with it through Chat. And if the AI has access to your recent activities or notes, it can even give you relevant choices. Or you can "navigate" through it in an interactive 2D/3D map that clusters the article/books by (semantic) similarity.

So dialogue and navigation take the place of checking a list.
I see why software vendors don't want to have to target specific distributions if they can help it - it's expensive. I assume snaps and flatpaks try to mitigate that problem.

I wouldn't want it to be a very common solution really because it's not that efficient and means you get updates for security when that vendor feels like it.

I'm happiest with MOST software being in the distribution.

Anyhow I know there are lots of ways to look down on Arch/Pacman (Artix in my case - dinit instead of systemd) but I have to say that it is simply much more enjoyable to use than Ubuntu or Fedora or even Debian IMO. Perhaps one day some terrible thing will happen to make me regret it but I just cannot imagine going back to the horrible burdens of those distros - upgrading from one version to another (especially on Fedora - groan), selinux, snap Firefox etc
That's only the $economic view--there are other camps. The one point worth distinguishing is that I'm not immediately concerned about AI becoming sentient and wiping out humanity. I'm more concerned about humans misusing it. Like nuclear research, it's about the applications not the science.

Actually, we were sure that it was spam. GitHub gives the option to "approve workflow run for first-time contributors". I guess none of the maintainers thought to approve it because they thought it might be spam. Still, a lot of time and effort spent to review it.
Forbes has carved a uniquely slimely niche for itself. (These days I almost look at a Forbes promotion of a startup as a negative signal.) At the bottom of that article there are "more from Forbes" stories on the (now) 'bad bad' Sam. Search for Forbes articles from before the reveal for "more from Forbes" stories which I guess they didn't have room to link to in the bottom.

(Naturally pointing out Forbes' role in pimping Sam Bankman-Fried in no way is supporting the 'wunderkind' or his & co.'s fraud.)
This might also be a bit of Price's Law in play (not saying that you aren't a 10x developer)...

If you're on a team of 10 people, 3 of those people will be doing about half the work. And then 7 are doing the other half. If there are 10 work units, the 3 are doing 5/3 of a work unit each and the 7 are doing 5/7 of a work unit each for a ratio of 2.3x

---

Yes, 1/10th developers are common - especially in larger teams. And there are also -1/2 developers too where someone will spend half their time just cleaning up after the -1/2 developer.

And just with the nature of teams, larger teams are going to have a significant fraction of the team doing very little work (note: this applies to consultancy teams too and if you get a team of 20 people to work on the project, you really should just get a team of 4 and stay on top of them as it will be less work to manage).
Hope the leaker used good opsec and that this goes nowhere.
To rebut the expert in the video, the seemingly obvious difference is that "literally" has changed suddenly and in my lifetime, and specifically to mean the opposite of its true definition vs. merely adding a meaning.

It isn't naivety for one to be bothered by it; it is grammatical laziness to misuse it. Maybe I will care less when poor kids born today misuse it in 20 years.

> You honestly have no idea what you're talking about, and you're making that very clear.

Rudeness aside, I made it very clear from the beginning that I haven't tried Tailwind, and my criticisms were based on fundamental principles that could apply to any new tech.

Of course I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to tailwind - I've never tried it. I hoped my points could be read as constructive criticism as to how to convince someone to try it, rather than an invitation for the cult-of-tailwind to pile on with insults and appeals to authority of influencers pushing foot-in-the-door sales tactics. It doesn't exactly instill a lot of motivation to join the ecosystem, and it only proves my point about the culty vibes around it.
> The word milk can be traced back thousands of years to the indo-european...

Well, if you develop time travel, then this information will come in handy. That has no bearing on how the word is used now or has been used for 100s of years.

> They do not attempt to mislead and confuse people.

I'm not sure how you can accuse "Oatly" or "Almond Breeze" of trying to mislead. The biggest word on their packaging is the main ingredient. Most non-dairy milks have a picture of the main ingredient on it. If people are confused by that, then they'll just as easily confuse orange juice for milk.

> The whole point of calling almond juice "milk"...

Is because it is a milk, and people can use it like any other milk.

What is? Aren't large language models very specifically not deterministic? It's impossible to reliably predict their response to a given prompt until you actually run the prompt, even with the temperature parameter set to zero (and often temperature is higher than zero in practical deployments).
Yes, by article I meant that summary and key terms, mostly the summary. Somehow, I just don't have much luck with it, I once asked ChatGPT to give me a summary of a book which I have read, and it provided 5 points, which is correct since the book indeed has 5 main principles (it was Getting things done book), but 2 out of 5 were just incorrect. So in my opinion, the correct workflow would be that AI will generate the summary, or several summaries, and then a human will read the original article and use those generated summaries as a template to write it himself. Otherwise, you could just unintentionally mislead people. With that being said, I actually like what you come up with so far.

Scavenging explains many of the body traits that humans have.. are good binocular vision allows us to see long distances.. so prehistoric man may have been able to see buzzards surfing over a corpse miles away.. so then we began to ran toward the corpse but we had to run fast so that we could beat the other animals to it.. our skeletal structure allows us to run fast and the fact that we have little hair allows us to sweat and carry off the heat so we can run long distances quickly.. once we get to the corpse there are likely other animal scavenging it such as hyenas, and our ability to grasp rocks and throw them allowed us to throw rocks at the hyenas or whatever and scare them off the corpse.. then if there was even little meat left we could pick up a rock smash the bones and get the marrow out.. this explains how we got good long distance binocular vision, a skeleton that allows us to run, a body that allows us to carry off heat through sweating, hands and other anatomy that can grasp and throw stones, and smash bones to get the marrow out

This is mostly just a Debian problem, due to their "no non-free software" philosophy, which extends to device drivers. I have never in my days booted a Debian install that worked with wifi out of the box, and I suspect I never will, due to that philosophy.. For that reason, I've stopped trying and I default to Ubuntu (-based) distros instead. All it takes to get rid of snaps forever is `sudo apt purge snapd`.
I didn’t say it was an alternative to acute mental health care. But like physical health, mental health has a large component that’s just about supporting people in their daily lives. My parents are aging secular humanists. They’re now dealing with friends and siblings dying off. They’re handling it normally, and they don’t need acute medical intervention. But they’d probably be happier if they had set foot in a mosque every once in awhile and had a faith community to lean on through these completely normal live events that happen to everyone.
Good to see this happening, although aside from the memory-safety, thread-safety bit, how does it compare to SPARK[1], which I am currently using due to its legacy of being used for real-world applications for a couple of decades. SPARK has a verification toolset.

I hope the collaboration between AdaCore and Ferrous Systems brings Rust closer to SPARK's current capabilities in producing high-integrity software. I didn't find a formal document from NIST listing what criteria have to be met to be put on this list other than the mention that "ISO/IEC/JTC 1/SC 22/WG 23 is working on"technical report (TR) 24772 Guidance to avoiding vulnerabilities in programming languages."

Show HN: go-nbd – A Pure Go NBD Server and Client
Hey HN! I just released go-nbd, a lightweight Go library for effortlessly creating NBD servers and clients. Its a neat tool for creating custom Linux block devices with arbitrary backends, such as a file, byte slice or what I'm planning to use it for, a tape drive. While there are a few partially abandoned projects like this out there already, this library tries to be as maintainable as possible by only implementing the most recent handshake revision and baseline functionality for both the client and the server, while still having enough support to be useful.

I'd love to get your feedback :)

Along those lines, notify your mortgage company immediately. They will try to help. No mortgagor wants you to lose your house: they're in the business of lending money, not of managing empty houses. They will most likely let you miss payments for a month or two without incurring penalties. If you're still unemployed after that, you can discuss mortgage modifications that will reduce the amount you have to pay monthly.

Especially with all the people who lost jobs due to COVID, they have become very accustomed to having to deal with this recently.
