Thank you for the suggestion, that is indeed a good idea. I will modify the README to include some explanation about the current status and why the main & dev branches may seem to be stale
I don't know this area, but I suspect the regulatory framework around this needs revision so that government could discover that kind of malice, i.e. if there were some requirement of regular reporting that would have created the paper trail.

According to [1] San Francisco has the most police per 100,000 residents in California amongst cities with populations 100,000 or more. According to [2] this is still less than the number of police per 100,000 people in London. Given the prevalence of guns, lack of social safety net in the U.S., and overall higher rate of murders I would have thought American cities had more police than British cities. Note that police forces have gotten smaller in the UK over the last several years and they consider themselves under staffed.

Even my dog gets tired of eating the same feed all the time or playing with the same toy. It gets excited when I bring new toy and is much more eager to eat when I switch feed to a different type from time to time.

I don’t have a TV so my dog is not watching ads so I expect marketing does not affect it.

Might still be that other dogs it plays with tell stuff “I got a new toy, get your owner to buy you new one too”.

I think it is innate property of living things to need different things/experiences and what not in order to survive/thrive.
Completely lost as well on how did it got so many votes so quickly.
We often have to model legal constructs. Short of working for organized crime there is really no way around it.
The scrolling is done in a distracting way though.
Queue the anecdotes of people feeling unsafe, and others who feel completely safe. Queue the speculation about whether this had underlying reasons, other than what is claimed. Queue statements of crime stats being down, and counter claims of people not reporting anything because nothing is ever done.

As an outsider, it's really interesting how varied everyone's perceptions on this is. How everyone has a different truth. It makes you wonder how accurate history books are, if people cannot agree what is happening right in front of them.
Edge keeps trying to turn on sync-to-Microsoft. I keep saying no. Once, I think it turned it on without asking.

Will passing a bill requiring SF to have a certain number of police officers actually cause SF to have that number of police officers? If nobody wants the job, then they can't exactly press-gang people into being cops.
I ask a "toy-ish" question for a phone screen since we have a higher level coding section on-site. I get LC is the standard, but I've always considered how easily someone can adapt to be as much a signal as anything.

It's one thing if we paint it as Leetcode and then ask for fizz-buzz, but when I start the interview off by saying "no algorithms involved, we're not even compiling, it's mostly a way for us to talk about <insert language>" and 15 minutes in you're still looking for a place to shoe horn in a hand rolled hash map, it might just say something about how your approach to engineering.

Many would argue filling FAANG to the brim with people who actively seek complexity is what has directly hurt their ability to innovate (and the fact OpenAI is full of ex-FAANG doesn't disagree)
That happened when the yuppies in the 1980s rebelled against their hippie parents and embraced Reaganomics. They made a whole sitcom about it (Family Ties.) Of course nowadays Alex P. Keaton would be an incel flogging NFTs and MAGA conspiracy theories and collecting Nazi memorabilia. History doesn't repeat but it does spiral.

Woah--I stumbled upon "Hypermedia Systems"[0] from the View Transitions essay linked on this release page. If, like me, you're sympathetic to the htmx philosophy, but not really an expert, it looks like a great read. (And it's beautifully presented, too.)

Seems it was discussed a few months ago[1]; I missed it then.

That jumped out at me as a possible misreading of the code. Is it detecting the language of the whole tweet, or just a word as the author claims?

Demoting a tweet that's entirely unidentifiable as any human language seems fair enough.
How often have you gotten to build things for the second time?

The dilemma there is that most of us only get to build things for the second time if we are working on a copy-cat product from a competitor, and those are not the sorts of projects we glorify. Everyone wants to work on new ideas, not copy-cats.
Is there still a connection between Kolide and Fleet, besides the shared ancestry and that they both use osquery?
It requires a collective leap of altruism for humanity to bridge the gap from “work for food” to a society free from scarcity. The most likely outcome is a society that drowns in its own selfishness as the fires that sustain our current world order cool.
Yeah that struck me too. I can see the reasons why you'd want it but the collateral damage on that must be huge.

For example do they check for the common but nonstandard transliteration systems arabic speakers use? There have to be similar systems in other languages that don't use the roman or cyrillic alphabets too right?

Or for that matter what about languages twitter simply isn't aware of? There are thousands with native speakers after all, does this make it basically impossible for them to organically use twitter together?
htmx is built to mutate html from the backend based on server side events. I'm not going to say it is better or worse than svelte for your use case but how you are describing it here is selling it short. I suspect you could make a decent files app with htmx and a sprinkle of JavaScript.

As per your development process, if you use htmx you can serve the template files from disk. Then all you need to do is edit the html templates which your backend reads in. No need to rebuild your golang application. For some changes you wouldn't have to reload the page just click the interaction to get the html fragment from the server.

You would need to rebuild your go application if you are changing parameters input into the template but that is conceptually the same as a client side template needing an API change. This also requires a rebuild.
> All of the math behind information theory and sampling signals assumes waves are sinusoids

This isn't really true. The point about the sinusiods is mostly that the form a very convenient complete basis of a useful space of functions, hence the fourier expansion. This doesn't amount to an assumption about how the signals are generated, rather how they are represented. You could pick a different basis and you'd get a different representation, but as functions they are identical. By definition this applies equally to any signal in the class, however you generate it.

Where the shape of the underlying basis vectors does show up is in errors and estimation, e.g. the similar estimation error in fourier vs. Haar will show up as sinusoids or steps.
Product reviews, trigger specifications, and such. It really is just a matter of personal preference. Firearms like Glocks don't have "active safeties" where you enable/disable them with a lever, but they do have a variety of "inactive safeties" which prevent the firearm from discharging when dropped/rattled/whatever.
> For non plus users, chatGPT UX is poor with slow responses, captchas and random logouts

There are tons of free custom UIs to chatGPT by now, all vastly superior to OpenAI’s. No captchas or login screens, just paste your API token once and it gets stored in local storage.
I think so too. When asked point blank Paul said John broke up the band. The clip is on Youtube. I get it's just his word but from so many sources John was an exhausting personality to deal with in long doses. You can tell that from the audio tapes of their recordings.
Thank you. +1 for expanded acronyms.
What if the queue goes down? Without insane engineering, there is always going to be a single point of failure somewhere.
Okay so Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh is just a conspiracy theorist with this article where he brings all the receipts that the US blew it up? Where Biden, weeks earlier, literally said the USA was going to blow it up?

Okay. Mother Teresa was (according to some) a nasty, torturing bitch. Fair enough.

I actually selected her as an example because off the cuff I couldn't think of someone else that some significant proportion of folks here on HN wouldn't say exactly that about. I guess I shouldn't have used a real person as an example. Lesson learned. N.B.: I am an atheist and find the Catholic Church (not specific Catholic adherents, I judge individuals based on their individual behavior) to be, in the main, a bad thing.

My point wasn't to glorify Mother Teresa (or anyone else). Rather, I was pointing out that it wouldn't have mattered who Theranos' investors were, Holmes would have defrauded them too.

Perhaps a better example would have been an attorney who works 60 hours a week at their day job doing pro-bono cases and litigating malicious/unfair prosecutions of innocent people, then funds and runs a soup kitchen/food pantry for the hungry another 40 hours a week. Is that better?

I'm sure some segment of the folks here will decry even that person too, as a rabble-rouser trying to destroy civilization through wealth redistribution (one bowl of soup and a piece of bread at a time) and questioning the authority of the police and prosecutors.

Who are, of course, the salt of the earth and only do what they do for the best of reasons (cf. The Innocence Project, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, The Central Park Five, etc., etc,. etc.) /s

So I'll make the point again without the distraction (causing folks to ignore my point -- apologies for sending you down the Mother Teresa rat hole?) of an actual, flawed, human being:

Holmes would almost certainly have defrauded any investors, regardless of your (the general 'you' here) opinion of the value of that particular persons' moral/ethical bona fides.

Oh that’s clever! Thanks for answering!
This is so weird from a non-American perspective. Almost all of these luxury truck-shaped vehicles never see a speck of dirt, and are used to carry one person and maybe a grocery bag.

People drive every day in oversized vehicles with dangerously poor visibility just because they might need to carry a larger item once in a while, even though their crew cab models have barely more cargo space than hatchback. Not to mention that large items can be ordered with delivery, and trucks/vans can be rented for occasional use.

Even for work purposes pickup trucks seem niche. The pickup form factor offers less carrying capacity than a same-length van, less flexibility in using the same space for carrying both people and cargo, and has worse options for secure storage.
That’s true of every big European country except Germany. The UK, Italy, France, and Spain (four of the five largest countries in Europe) have basically the same GDP now as in 2008.
the key point is that there is very little water below 4 Celsius because it would rise into warmer water and heat up.

The biggest problem is not that it's proprietary software - the biggest problem is that the software does not work as intended.

There are multiple factors that lead to the software not working - and none of them stem from the fact that it's proprietary.

(The Stallman notion that anything other than copyleft needs to be erased is fucking ridiculous - and I really don't think that you'll find traction with it on a site where almost everyone uses the profits from software to feed themselves and their families.)

There is a related notion that would have granted you some traction - that tax payer funded software should be open source.

This nicely parallels the issue of public access to publicly funded scientific research - which has gotten a lot of traction here, over time.

As far as rising authoritarianism is concerned, you've chosen a weird hill to die on.

The court is packed, and the already broken two party system is being gerrymandered into oblivion.

You're focusing on the tools being used without regard for the intention and the users.

Anyway, you didn't even get to the fun part of the conversation - that facial recognition struggles with black people and women.

Which is a fun little conversation that people like to politicise and blame on the people who wrote the code.

Yeah! Why figure out why crime happens in the first place (it cannot be poverty and unavailability of safety nets for people, impossible!) when you can just put all those p̶e̶a̶s̶a̶n̶t̶s criminals in prison instead, so we don't have to deal with it.
I'm not sure what you're saying, but the source is actually him denying it.

> About the contention that he had a threesome with Ms. Heard and her friend Cara Delevingne, Mr. Musk said, laughing, “We did not have the threesome, you know. So I think people think these things are generally more salacious than they are.”

He's laughing at the reporter for even proposing the idea, followed by downplaying it in a way that makes it clear that this was the media being sensationalist for clicks again.
I think the last thing anyone needs is more people like Garry Tan weighing in.

As the article mentions SF does not have a high crime rate compared to other cities. What it does have that is more unique are issues around homelessness, inequality, drug use etc.

Those need to be solved by real experts who can look into social and inequality programs that can target the root cause in a measured, data-driven and impassioned way. Not hyperbolic, tech-bro VCs.

Drawer full of power cables, box full of CAT-$N and USB cables with various plugs, all jumbled together.

I moved a couple of years ago, got rid of a big blue tub of 25 years of power supplies, serial cables with odd plugs, various classes of Ethernet, parallel and SCSI cables, all jumbled together. It's been a long time since I needed something odd, so I recycled it all.
Good point. I was interpreting "UI" as "GUI".

Why can't everyone living in SF just hire armed security to dissuade crime?

In general, handguns with active safety levers are considered less-safe than firearms without active safeties when being carried in proper holsters (ones where the trigger area is completely covered) because of the additional steps required to use the firearm when it is deployed. Having a pistol come out of the holster ready-to-fire is always going to be advantageous to having to remember to manipulate the safety lever, ensure the firearm is loaded, ensure the firearm is in-battery, etc. when the time comes.

Saying "due to safety concerns" makes it sound less of a failure on the parts of the business decision and more along the lines of "things out of their control". move the goalposts and look like a win.
The actual code comment doesn’t mention “words” but rather if the “tweet language” isn’t in one of the user’s “understandable” languages. As such, I assume your example is perfectly fine (would be extremely surprising if it wasn’t).

Whether the user implies the reader or author, I don’t know, I assume the reader as that would make most sense.

Also, more cops around hardly actually solve any causes for problems, it just addresses some of the symptoms while making others worse.

What happened to Bob Lee is tragic and unacceptable.

But violent crime is not unique to San Francisco and if you look at the data the city is far safer than many others.

When it comes to issues like this you really need to look at the data as it is too easy to let passions and bias drive decision making. If you could solve crime by hiring more police and locking more people up every city would do that. But the data shows that it doesn't work like that.
No.

Other whole foods in SF have a guard at the door. Are they armed? I don't know but they have a guard. No one is bothered. Most big stores in SF seem to have security. Target has multiple that stand by the doors.
The Bob Lee thing was incredibly unfortunate (I used to work with Bob) but violent crime is actually fairly low in SF compared to similar sized cities in the US.

However property crime is not low. And downtown, TL, SOMA etc are full of tents and open air drug use.

Shoplifting has been bad in SF since I first moved there in 2009 from Seattle. I was surprised to see Walgreens had nearly everything locked up, and you had to get staff to unlock it to buy just about anything.

But it feels like it's gotten worse. And while I believe the violent crime statistics are likely correct. I suspect property crime goes hugely underreported because people don't think it's worth reporting to a police department that won't do anything.

SF police are severely under-staffed, down about 500 officers since their peak several years ago.

The previous DA wasn't prosecuting a lot of these kinds of crimes. The police might have been on a quiet strike, not really doing their jobs because of understaffing and defund the police politics. This last point is mostly speculation and anecdote. But lots of stories of the police seeing a robbery go down, doing nothing.

And then the rampant poverty you see all over downtown has just gotten worse.
At six months from graduation your best option is to push through the hard parts and get the degree.

It does not matter if you do a thesis on one thing then end up working doing something else, that happens to lots of people.

It's the trademark that matters i thought (possibly naively), since anthropic.ai was registered in 2020 for a product built in 2019, it seems, and the Anthropic spin off from OpenAI was formed in 2021, seems to have purchased a squatted domain name of anthropic.com then.

Kind of unsure how it all works.
Tavis Ormandy released some patches to get WordPerfect for UNIX (terminal based) to run on Linux [1]

Alternatively, WordPerfect 6.2 for DOS running in Wine on Linux (or DOSbox) [2]

This word processor was pretty serious back in the day. I have distant memories of sitting in class and learning it in at school in the early 90s. It’s interesting how we retain such inconsequential memories that can resurface with very specific triggers (such as seeing the screenshots of ASCII text of an ancient word processor).

That’s what happened with Walgreens: economic reasons, with crime as a scapegoat.

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/06/business/walgreens-shopli...

> A Walgreens executive said this week that the company, which cited “organized” shoplifting as a reason to close five stores in San Francisco in October 2021, might have overstated the effect of theft on its business.

> Mr. Kehoe also said that the company had “probably” spent too much on security measures and that it might have mischaracterized how much theft took place in its stores.
It’s true. Neal Stephenson does often struggle with the follow through. But in the meantime we do get fast pizza delivery!
Or that there's some other charge carrier nearby.
You would have had to mislead them right? Why would they give $15m to use slowly when they can give $15m to a company that will use it quick, assuming both companies are using it in a +EV way?
> an international energy market isn’t a solution for everyone.

Revealed preferences today show that it is a solution, given countries are currently happy to be dependent on other nations for the energy source via oil and gas imports. If importing oil and gas is acceptable, then importing solar should be equally acceptable, if not even more acceptable given you can import from more reliable allies instead of authoritarian rogue states that will engage in energy blackmail.
Man if someone asked me to build a system to merely identify whether a unicode string is human language or not I would flatly refuse. There are thousands of spoken languages, many of them with no standard written form, some that are transcribed into multiple different writing systems, some with no writing tradition at all and with only ad-hoc transliteration unique to each user and use.

Even being 90% confident would be a massive undertaking, and "speakers of this language may/may not use the internet" feels like high stakes for getting it wrong.

It seems a little niche but I'm sure a few times a year some far out town gets connected and suddenly there are speakers of a previously unknown-to-the-internet language newly online.
