That article didn’t, there are others that suggest there are signals to stressors that nearby plants react to.

Even so, I can’t fly away from a tiger or bear. That analogy coupled with seeing that everything that can move, tries to move, makes me think plants would if they could. Sea anemones are very rudimentary and blind systems, and even they uproot themselves and “swim” away in the sloppiest way imaginable when a starfish is detected. Plenty of plants were able to select for defense mechanisms before reproduction. I think all would given the option.
It's the opposite, FTX was selling customer BTC to prop up their own coins.

This is also a clear example of how difficult it is to prop up a coin, even relatively illiquid ones like the FTX coins. FTX could sort of prop up their own coins, but not really. They couldn't move prices high enough to keep lenders from recalling capital, and they couldn't support prices at all when there was a confidence crisis before the collapse.

"[Twitter's] culture, the former executive said, wasn’t just about creating a fun workplace, it was about innovation and design and staying ahead of competing technologies."

But, you know, the thing is, Twitter wasn't especially innovative. Or, if they were, it never seemed to show up in it's user experience, or anywhere else visible outside the company (including to shareholders).
Where is the proof that the buyer agreed to reverse the transaction? If it were true, there was no reason to commit theft, as the buyer chooses what happens to the goat (not the middleman).

You just took hundreds of thousands if not millions of people, put them in a bag and threw the bag into the sea just because one or some of them were maybe mean to you. I hope AI overlords won't learn from you.
Something like: Prompt GPT4 with basic rules (in several batches) and have it create JSONL prompt-completion pairs to use as fine-tuning for GPT3. Freeze that model then continue fine-tuning it with a new set of prompt-completion pairs for each adventure module.
I'm sure there are all sorts of reasons including "Just not getting around to it" and "The company can't do without me." (I took a few month-long vacations at a former job and would have people basically ask me "How could you do that?")

That said I'm also known people who really just didn't care to travel for the most part and got bored hanging around the house. (Though in that case, the strategy should probably be to just taking Friday's off.)
Watched the video again. Maybe it actually detects presence instead of just motion? Maybe by detecting breathing and heartrate? That would be more useful, though add a wireless connection and you have a great device for spying on people in their homes though the walls.
There are, but they would have access to your files. Self hosted is the only way I know of to prevent access and even that isn't perfect unless one fully controls the servers. VM's at VPS providers for example can be live cloned and live migrated to gather forensic data without leaving a trace for the renter of the VM.

Anecdotally, I and most of my coworkers don't typically use all our vacation days because my company has a 300 hour accrual cap, and it can be useful to store up a big reserve depending on your objectives. I know some people who just maintain the cap and use their accrual hours each month so they aren't losing anything.

For that cash I can just have a motorcycle or an e-bike. Why would I want a scooter in this case? Not dissing on scooters, I don't get it though. Bikes and motorocyles are a lot more stable at speed than scooters.

OH YOU MEAN A MOPED... not a Lime Scooter. OK... we're on the same page.

Yeah I'll keep rocking my FJR but I'd do a e-moped if I had rides around my house, tho for that an e-bike is more compelling. FJR oddly gets 40+mpg.
With “unlimited time off” becoming more common I wonder how that’s accounted for over time. Some places are really explicit with handbooks that say they expect people to take “4 weeks off” a year (this was one place I worked) and others don’t specifically say a number like that.

I think it’s kind of a shame and I’d like to go back to split PTO and sick time
>Why isn't this in the media?

Not Swedish but I assume the ones who run the real estate interest groups are also hand in hand with those who own mainstream media so they have no interest to dig up dirt on them and will turn a blind eye.

I assume Germans initially also asked themselves why isn't the Wirecard fraud in the local media and only reports on it come from the US.

Influential people in a country tend to scratch each other's backs.
It depends on how specifically Hannah-Jonesian the critique is. Is the issue here 1619ism? That's a fair label for what she represents. Is it more broadly Kendi-style "anti-racism"? I think if you put scare quotes around "anti-racism", that's fine too. Is it political correctness? The modern term for that is "wokeism" (no quotes needed).

"Woke" is also an appropriated term. But it's original meaning is actually pretty close to its current meaning; I remember a Lexicon Valley episode where one of McWhorter's academic guests observed that "woke" is what you'd call your crazy uncle at Thanksgiving who thought the flouride in your toothpaste was a government mind control system.

Ask HN: Using Databricks and Snowflake Together
My company's IT team chose snowflake as a new data platform without consulting the data science team (we are in a different department). Now they want to force us to move all of our work into it.

We are planning to propose a department databricks instance to live alongside snowflake. We would let snowflake serve as the data warehouse, and use databricks for ML processing (R jobs, Python jobs, MLFlow, autoML, built in notebooks/git integration) pushing results back into snowflake when appropriate (e.g. needed in a BI tool or something).

I'm expecting pushback on this and wondering if people could share questions/problems I might run into going this route so I can think through them and be prepared to answer.

The main one I know is coming is "why can't you use snowpark", answer: we are heavy R users, snowpark/udfs are clunky, no desire to convert everything to python, no notebook interface built into snowflake.

On expenses there will be some extra in paying for both platforms when we're moving data back and forth, but I suspect the cost might actually be less on databricks to run processing intense ML jobs (I plan to test this). Storage cost is not a factor for us.

What's not fun at all is when every pretty place is a GPS coordinate and then swarmed by people who only want to take a picture of themselves and have little regard for nature.

It's very common near where I live for the agencies who manage trails and other unique spots to opt-out of GPS-enabled maps (like Avenza) and to actively monitor social media to ask that people refrain from naming 'photo opp' locations.
My reading is that this announcement indicates a new quasi-indefinite pause, beyond what was previously announced. They will probably still phase out v2, but every additional message about this pushes the timeline back further (even if it’s not explicitly mentioned).

Folks talk about media bias: Twitter popularity is a media bias.
It’s the most lazy journalism to be able to write a “news” article about what Kim, or Don, or Elon’s PR team tweeted.
But, as far as “social” this media is: Twitter is a one-way street. There’s no one actually responding or interacting with Tweets. It’s just a comment section to flame bait.

Maybe we’ll all get lucky and Elon will cause Twitter to go away forever.
Maybe as a rough rule of thumb
I guess it's a neat psychological trick like airline points
Yeah. In Polish Slav means a speaker, or person of our word. In Latin, it meant person who we can take to do work for free, but the Polish came up with the term first.

Our old word for foreigner is the same as non speaker or mute, Niemcy, which now specifically refers to the Germans. I guess they were our first foreigners.

There’s likely some nuance here.

Lets say a worker has nominally 10 days off per year. What the company does practically is if you take more than 6 days off is start writing you up. Theoretically you could take 10 days but any infraction would result in termination. The practice ensures employees are always dismissible for cause unless they don’t use vacation days.

Not all companies use such tactics on their workforce, but enough do to make it a systematic problem.

Mandatory payout at 100% for unused PTO, and a ban on use-or-lose would be a good start.
Did anyone look to see if anyone else was also elevated? Surely there's an extreme measurement bias if the highest followed account gets boosted. There's no evidence to support the idea that only Elon Musk was elevated.

Response to same query from ChatGPT 3.5 legacy:

"Halley's Comet is a periodic comet that appears in our sky approximately once every 76 years. It was last visible from Earth in 1986 and is expected to return in 2061.

In the 15th century, Halley's Comet appeared in the year 1456. In the 16th century, it appeared in the year 1531 and again in 1532."

And ChatGPT 3.5 default:
"Halley's Comet, also known as Comet Halley, made several appearances in the 15th and 16th centuries.

In the 15th century, the comet was recorded as having appeared in 1456 and 1470. The appearance in 1456 was particularly notable as it occurred shortly before the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Empire, and was seen as a bad omen by many.

In the 16th century, Halley's Comet was recorded as having appeared in 1531, 1607, and 1618. The appearance in 1607 was particularly well-documented, with the astronomer Johannes Kepler making detailed observations of the comet's motion."

It would seem that the ChatGPT plugins is rather unpredictably less reliable than other versions.
At least with an accrual max system, you can track your time and just start slowly bleeding it off when you get near the cap. With use it or lose it, it's easy to get near the cutoff date and now you have a bunch of time to use which may not be the best use for you while the company may also have to deal with a lot of people taking time off at the same time.
This has always been an issue with me.

I first learned coding/programming in the days of "big iron," and embedded (machine and ASM) coding.

These require a "Measure Twice, Cut Once" approach. In fact, the "coding" part is really just data entry.

These days, with integrated symbolic debuggers and IDEs, I can start coding right away, and writing a prototype is often MUCH faster than planning it out. I'll usually spend very little time, planning, and start coding, very quickly[0].

In the "days of yore," this would have me excommunicated.

But I have found that it results in extremely well-written, well-designed, and fast end results. I also tend to work very quickly.

Being experienced helps. In fact, it may be a requirement, as I can map out a design in my head that follows the desire path to a good result. I have very manageable failures, and seldom need to throw everything out, and start from scratch.

But even then, I'm not throwing out a whole boatload of invested time and effort. It's easy to toss a bad design, and that's critical, for me.

Such horrible execution. It's not funny. It's not sufficiently obvious that it is untrue, the joke is only clear by following multiple links to their fake paper and reading it all the way to the end. And worst of all, it's stunningly low effort; they didn't even write the fake paper themselves, but used ChatGPT for it.

This is silly. You've collapsed the term "democracy" down to mob rule and are whacking people over the head with your definition, which would get a D- in a political science class (which I would know, political science being one of the two college courses I ever took). I award you no points.

If it's not the questionable qualifications(although he is an enthusiast, he has a limited professional background in electronics repair and software development, two things that are constantly featured on his channel), it may be because of his gun-toting libertarian leanings - some years ago he accidentally posted a video where he was proudly open-carrying on a shopping trip. Of course some people voiced outrage.

I think the guy is good at making videos - but it's with an asterisk. He doesn't have a lot of expertise to share, but he wants to be seen in control. So the videos themselves are always really polished, but then the thing he does is something he should have asked for help with.
I don't agree that this point is crystal clear. If they'd written "They would have a Palak Paneer, or a Moru Curry, or...." and at least included one dish with "curry" in the name, then there would've been no such confusion. But as it stands it sounds to me like it's claiming there is no actual Indian dish that contains the word "curry".

> Being in proximity to people, shopping, and businesses, as well as having a shorter commute to work, contribute to a higher standard of living.

I live in a suburb. I'm in proximity to people, shopping and businesses. In fact, I'm in closer proximity to shopping and businesses than most residential areas in the closest city. Most of the large employers in my area are also in the suburbs so, commuting would be even longer living in the city since it would involve taking public transportation or driving from the city to the suburbs. Even if I lived and worked in the city walking, taking a bus or the subway from residential areas to the employment centers would take longer than my 15-minute commute.
Surely the existence of a trail is a fact, and can therefore be mapped, because facts are not copyrightable in most countries?

I would encourage people who are otherwise deeply cynical of anything crypto (I know I am, and I hate 99% of crypto projects) to not immediately discount Worldcoin and make their own judgements based on the content Worldcoin presents. Much of the hacker news discussion on this project is making claims and assumptions that are factually incorrect or at best, misleading.

Online discussion is already largely broken, and will get much more broken in the coming years without something similar to Worldcoin.

IMO unmetered time takes a real commitment from senior management to work fairly which, yes, probably means some reasonable typical guidelines.

That's not selfish, GRs are sometimes crossing natural park in which nature and wilderness related laws are enforced, there are people that can sue you if you smoke a cigarette/walk in certain areas/throw some trash at the ground/camp in les calanques de marseille for example (the south of france is highly inflammable during summer). In order to maintain the local biodiversity, keep a minor impact of the local wilderness of these places (endangered species often), some money has to be raised, experts have to be paid to help decisions (should a trail be modified for X reasons related to what I said supra, should some trees be cut down for security reasons, should some security lanes be created to prevent fires etc...), which then requires the intervention of professionals to apply these decisions.
You also have to pay "rangers" sometimes (I don't know of many parks of france, i'm mainly talking about calanques and cevennes).

When I go climbing I have to buy a local guide documenting all the historical climbing spots; the persons that sells the guide are the one that equipped and maintened these historical routes : is it selfishness ?
IIRC, they advised against masks because (1) they didn’t know it was airborne and (2) there was a huge PPE shortage and discouraging a run on PPE would allow more to go to healthcare professionals. In the beginning there was a ton of investigation on how big of droplets the virus could subsist in (we were all wiping down packages) and it wasn’t clear how the virus was transmitted. As they got more actionable information, they revised their guidance. Not saying they were perfect but there was some fog of war during the spring of 2020 that can’t be dismissed.
A bit of offtopic pedantry, but IANAL already has the word lawyer implied.

Was any US territory outside of Asia legitimately at risk? I don’t think so? I think most Americans today would agree that the US should not attempt to acquire territory in Asia, and so would not agree with military action to preserve such territory. But this position is for some reason not carried through to the Japan conflict. In what way is this observation inaccurate?
