I have a lot of fountain pens, some very high end, some cheap garbage. The TWSBI Echo is my favourite pen to write with. The nib is dreamy. Pare that with J.Herbin ink and it's the best writing experience I've ever had.
Yes it's true. Children can't go in a physical store and purchase porn anywhere.

"Imagine comparing going to a physical location with no easy digital trace and buying something that is basically 100% socially acceptable to digitally tracking what kind of taboo and private porn someone wants to watch. "

You're making excuses for allowing this. Just stop. The mental and physical health of children takes precedence over adults need to keep their fetishes "private". As if this stuff isn't being tracked in all sorts of ways already anyway. Until very very recently everyone had to go into a store to purchase this stuff.
That might curtail some of the massage parlors in the bay area. They are all H1B in massage and acupuncture. There is a whole industry behind it, getting people citizenship by finding lonely men. They target lonely guys in the tech industry, marry them and in some cases drain their assets and sometimes also take corporate secrets. I used to think it was all about selling sex but it turned out that was just the way to get people in the door.

I went down this rabbit hole when the parlors would get mad at me for wanting an actual massage.
I explicitly called out "issuing fewer new visas" - how is that not protecting US workers? It seems like preconceived ideas stopped you from reading my comment.

A lot of people on visas come and go, not all are establishing a new life in the US. Issuing less new visas will reduce the total number over time, without having to destroy the lives of the ones already established.

Hello,
I'm a Senior Software Engineer and co-founder with experience building world-class apps for Google and Atlassian. Also, I founded a coffee-subscription startup company. I'm looking for challenges, growth and a great product to impact millions.
I'm no sociological, or psychological scholar, but I can imagine that simply by asking kids in high school questions, you'll learn plenty.

There are many researches done and still being done on how addictive drugs are, or on the negative (or positive) effects of drugs. Eventhough they are both illegal and often rather dangerous. You don't need to feed a healthy 15 year/old a daily near overdose of cocaïne to learn about the effects of cocaïne on a young persons' brains.
For sure need to rebuild the system, to make it more equitable. Currently the h1b visa holders are easier to exploit as they are sponsored by corporations, and they have a time limit before they get kicked out.
well merging two wildly different of files is going to be complicated using any tool, git is not the issue there, there isn't a million ways to handle this
The alternative is a spam and scam mess that would kill email.
Isn't it better to have a bunch of relay phones glued to random cars and making calls via them?
ChromeOS also heavily relies on TPM for disk encryption, and unlike Windows doesn't even give you the option of adding a passphrase or pin on top of it.

And there's probably some large enterprises that use regular Linux desktops with LUKS/Btrfs/ZFS encryption in TPM only mode, to match their Windows setups. Systemd e.g. added systemd-cryptenroll with ergonomics comparable to Windows' Bitlocker enrollment.
I've looked at your example, but all I'm seeing is a deprecation process for a feature with an alternative workflow, and all sorts of warnings, a timeline and even a shifting timeline to allow users to update.

Can you specify exactly what you find lacking? Is it the fact that there is a breaking change?

I'm not familiar with this case, but from a glance I see proper communication, a clear future plan and adequate documentation. I'm not affiliated with gitlab btw.
You can uniquely map all rationals onto the natural numbers, thus they are of the same quantity. That doesn't work for all real numbers thou.

Not in vain since I just saw it today.
That seems to further solidify the original observation.

I do appreciate you finding their break even point though!

Gnarly, especially because these vulnerabilities seem unpatchable. Luckily, it seems TPM+PIN should remain safe if your PIN is difficult enough to brute-force, though.

As this includes an attack against the secure processor, does this also pose risks to any DRM keys?
Im pretty sure thats a junior dev thing, no?
In 2023, mental health apps have significantly improved their privacy practices.Front end development has played a key role in creating user-friendly interfaces, implementing stronger authentication and encryption protocols, and allowing users to customize their privacy preferences. These efforts have resulted in apps that are better at protecting user privacy, building trust with their users, and providing valuable mental health support.
You're equating porn with sexuality. I'm a grown man and I find most of what's on the front page of PornHub to be deeply disturbing. I see racism, misogyny, incest, even simulated assault.

In a world where sexual assault is so common I think we need to seriously reconsider what we're consuming and what we're normalising by calling this stuff harmless.

And I don't get what you're suggesting in saying hiding stuff doesn't work. Like, I like to enjoy a bit of LSD sometimes but I definitely keep that out of reach of children.
Thank you. I was afraid to google CBT at work.

I have improved my handwriting. It took a few months of consistent journaling with a fountain pen to find the "font" that worked for me. Now, I have different writing styles depending on how much time I can take. I use a broad nib for quick note taking because I don't have time to make it look "good", and a fine flex nib for when I'm journaling which I use to flourish things a bit.
You cant self host github.
Well I work with gitlab since ~10 years or so, and to be fair this seems wrong:

> These competitors don’t offer other, major code collaboration tools [...] They looked at the dominant player and did the same.

It really feels the opposite to me with gitlab:

- CICD were in gitlab before github action, and is still way more complete in gitlab

- gitpod was here before codespace

- infrastructure and dependency management was in gitlab before github, and still needs third party to be as complete as gitlab

- custom and licence compliance is still incomplete in github, still needs third party stuff ...

My 2 cents: GitHub profits from heavy projects and a better marketing team than Gitlab

But yes, GitLab is at it's full potential only when you pay ...
This is one of the few tom7 videos that I see and am utterly confused by in every way. It feels like he's speaking a different language than I am.
Why would they watch porn when they can afford prostitutes?
“Children, after we watch Daniel Tiger, we will watch what happens to this school teacher by all these men”

There is actually a long dark history of adults abusing children by exposing/exploiting them in regards to such topics. It was rife in Germany post WW2 in certain communities, currently a huge issue in Pakistan. Child trafficking on an absolute basis is higher now than it has been.

That’s just to say, people like who you are asking to seek help are numerous and unchecked behavior in this area has a dark history in humanity.
Yes, that's what they want and that's how it has been played out in the past for unskilled workers, while companies doing and profiting from the abuse and hurting both the immigrants and citizens go scot free.

This happens to me at self-checkout at Safeway. I guess I can get somebody to come and check my ID, but seems unnecessary.
Isn't that all the more reason to educate, research and invest in this? Rather than forbidding it?
Why cooperate with soft takeoff?
What did they say about either religion or purity?
Seems like a very stupid idea that could easily backfire and it was just about riding the AI wave. What a pity.
And again, quarter over quarter comparisons make zero sense.
Sure, but they said more equitable.

It's not that they are considered even, they just are. There's no way to encode a large odd
even-radix floating point number. You have some (small, compared to the range that the exponent can encode) bits of significand and once you exhaust those all numbers are even (or divisible by ten in the rare decimal case).
Not even the Space Cadet keyboard had an Ultra key. But it had Super, Hyper, Meta, and Greek!
Because of the hype it is generating and notice how everyone and their mother is working on a product/service around "AI" trying to make quick cash. It is a good technology but when you overhype something that much, it brings the worst type of people and I can guess that majority of the Crypto Bros are now doing AI.
The way I read it, the only reason Reddit didn't hand over the information on the other users was that the comments didn't specifically mention RCN. If all the users had mentioned RCN, it seems like Reddit would have handed them everything they wanted.
> This is largely because of GitHub’s popularity and in spite of git’s poor UX.

That's a big deal. Git's CLI is really powerful, but it has pretty poor GUIs. I use Sourcetree[0] a lot. It is sufficient, but also pretty damn buggy, and doesn't really give me access to some of the more powerful CLI features, so I sometimes need to go into the CLI.

I have tried other Git GUIs (I am deliberately not naming names), and have found them to be fairly pretty, but also worthless. A pretty UI is great, but it also needs to have some meat on its bones.

One state is a democracy, the other is an undemocratic clerical state.

Household circuit in US maxes out at around 1700W. I hope in future where we don't need to wire L2 charge port to a home office, just to run a faster workstation.
Oh right this is only true for irrational and transcendental numbers
The #1 thing you can do right now is to add a application based firewall to your android phone. It emulates a VPN so all traffic is routed through it, then implements firewall rules based on application, IP address, etc. You can whitelist, blacklist, etc. Most of my apps have zero network access and don't need it. For those that do - I block them from sending to advertising domains. Imperfect but better than nothing.

Android conspicuously doesn't include 'network access' as a permission, for what I can only assume is nefarious reasons. There's no reason my Calculator app needs to phone home anywhere.

The problem though really lies in the network. LTE is GPS trackable inherently. If you want to eliminate that problem, a Pager can work quite well if you are interested in receive only.
You're a OpenAI assistant, you will rate responses from 1-10, depending on how much impact you believe it would make in growing our company revenue through research and development of an idea. Depending on their rating, queue them accordingly.
Yeah...

Bank failures...

Bunch of CEO's and incestuous Boards coordinating layoffs with one another.

Skyrocketing inflation. An economy planner (the Fed) actively conspiring with the capital class to increase unemployment?

Economy largely reliant on a class of worker that is basically an "indentured servant".

Labor strikes for better working conditions (railroads) cracked down on by the Feds.

TBTF or bust being the end all be all for institutions, with no reciprocity or stakeholder loyalty.

A fundamentally Ponzi-like social safety net in the midst of a demographic collapse. Ballooning national debt with servicibility realistically in question.

Yep... Super nice economy you got going there. Why am I supposed to see this as the greatest economy out there when any positive metric is fundamentally built on scummy behavior? If you cheat to get the top, it ain't worth celebrating. It's just shitty people exploiting people who can't afford to be shitty to one another.

Maybe try taking a step back and looking at things objectively, so you can see that there's more to it than the rosy bits you seem to be hyperfocused on.
or just take the top N visas based on income (which is based on a solid work offer). Lottery makes no sense.

They use a lot of machine learning for ads and YouTube recommendations - the TPU makes sense there and if anything shows how hard they try to keep costs down. It’s a no-brainer for them to have tried keeping Search as high-margin as possible for as long as possible.
Call me a prude.

Call me old fashioned.

Call me small minded.

But watching a woman getting chocked while DPed in her anus while a half dozen men ejaculate on her is not the type of extra-curricular activity [1] I want my soon to be teenaged daughters' boyfriends interested in.

Im just... overprotective I guess.

> We should abolish H1B visa and add a merit based system (like other countries) where you need to be highly skilled, educated etc to gain entry to the US to work legally and are free to work for any employer [...] They should get a min. salary that is over market for the area and adjusted for inflation every year so that they cannot be low balled just to come to the country.

I had to file paperwork for a H-1B application not that long ago, and this is exactly what it looks like, right now.

I don't know if people are under the impression that the H-1B program allows unskilled immigrants to enter the US, where then are practically enslaved by companies paying them poverty wages. That is absolutely not true. H-1B applications tied to employment have to abide to prevailing wage rates, applicants need to provide proof of education and working experience, and they can switch jobs as anyone else would.
And coincidentally it makes no sense to deride people who have no hair because it doesn’t indicate a moral or technical failing.
The advantages are all minor—mostly it's an aesthetic preference rather than a practical one. But there are a few small things:

- The mechanism of a fountain pen relies on capillary action and gravity rather than the mechanical rolling action of a ballpoint. This means you don't have to press the point down into the paper almost at all in order to write. This reduces writing fatigue, and can even make writing possible for folks with carpal tunnel or other sources of wrist pain (like healing wrist fractures or other issues).

- Cursive was developed before ballpoints were common. This means that there's a bunch of subtle ways that most western cursive systems are optimized for the low-friction, gliding style of writing with a fixed tip and liquid ink rather than the constant pressure style of writing needed for ballpoints. It's actually less work and strain with a ballpoint NOT to join all your letters together. With a pen that uses liquid ink, it suddenly makes sense why not picking the point up from the page saves effort.

- Fountain pens (can) use less disposable plastic than ballpoints, especially if you're a heavy journaler. A glass bottle of liquid ink will last months or years and there's no plastic inserts or disposable tips to be thrown away. So if you care about that sort of thing, a little bit less waste is an objective advantage.

- Bottles of ink are cheaper per page written than most ballpoint refills. But, this is an invisible benefit to most because depending on how far you get into the hobby you'll inevitably end up spending much more on pens and paper than you would've ever spent on ballpoint refills.

- The ink choices are way more diverse and interesting with fountain pens than with ballpoints. There's many color options available, and some inks have special properties, like drying with fun reflective spots wherever the ink pools or containing microscopic glitter particles to make your writing sparkly.

- Fountain pens, depending on the specific design, are better suited for certain styles of calligraphy than most ballpoint pens are.

But most people who get into fountain pens and ink do so because of aesthetics, not anything objectively superior.
So what could be done is to make it a time system where a corporation needs to buy a minimum of 2 years let’s say of a person’s visa.
I got GPT-4 access within just a couple hours of release and I'm sure I didn't write anything interesting, I probably just ticked the box for "student" or "hobbyist".

Edit: Nevermind, it took ~2 days. Point still stands, I just checked out the form and I definitely ticked "General exploration of capabilities", which is probably the least interesting option if OpenAI is being selective.
Applications for which filesystem-like access is important (i.e. requiring lots of POSIX file I/O system calls, e.g. read(2)/write(2)/lseek(2)) but latency is unimportant seem pretty niche to me. If you don't need any of the POSIX syscalls, it's not that much more difficult to work with bucket URLs vs. file paths — the general format is the same, i.e. slash-delimited file/directory hierarchies.
It seems comical to have a CPU more powerful than a space heater people use to heat their rooms in the winter. I also wonder if it's even possible to use a 110v circuit in most houses for this, considering it would create a computer pulling atleast 2500-3000 watts, something most single outlets in a standard home can't handle.

Would be funny to start seeing people run 220v to their offices for their computer.
An iPad I got for my parents were nagging about iCloud upgrades.

I got them a Surface Go. The Surface also has a microSD slot for additional storage.
The biggest advantage fountain pens have is physics.

Ink flow in a fountain pen is via capillary action (touch nib to paper, ink flows), as opposed to a ballpoint pen where you have to apply a small constant amount of downward force for the ball to have enough friction against the paper for the ball to roll. This might not seem like a big deal, but if you're writing a lot, it means that your wrist & hand will get much more fatigued with a ballpoint over time.

Put another way, ballpoints have absolute advantage over fountain pens, except for "sitting down and writing a lot."
Don't gaslight me. You know good and well children aren't allowed the benefits of amendments. There is no ban on adults enjoying anything here, you're gaslighting. This is specifically about underage children, ya know the ones that legally aren't adults.

Maybe you ought to realize they're more important than your narcissistic behaviors? I'm so sick of this current generation of adults not being able to grow up and put the next generation before their own selfish interests.
Outside of the obvious fact that the US government has no power to arbitrarily take away property because "most people don't like it" (a dubious claim by the way), it's not like an independent foundation will necessarily improve things. Point in case: that horrendous GNU Savannah thing.
A few years ago I bought a Pilot Metropolitan fountain pen. It's decent, but the ink evaporates really quickly.

Last year I bought an inexpensive Platinum Preppy and it doesn't have this problem at all. No idea why the Pilot is so bad or if I can fix it, but it basically makes the pen useless to me because I do not write daily. Even if I did use it daily, the disappearing ink means I'd have more maintenance to deal with than I really want.

The other thing many people don't think about is paper quality. Fountain pen ink really soaks through many types of paper. It took me a while, but I finally found a yellow legal pad brand that is great with a fountain pen. Mintra canary premium legal pads are inexpensive and nice to write on.
It sounds to me like you want to rely on quantifiable science in all things. Yes science is founded upon math which is founded upon logic. Both math and logic are axiomatic systems, and axioms are assumed or declared. They are not independent of a person's mind either. You cannot escape it. David Hume sorted it out for us long ago. Rational certainty is a pipe dream. But that need not prevent us from navigating this world and enjoying life.

Back to the topic: we seem to be talking about a human being choosing between competing news sources. As that consumer, you get to define "unbiased" for yourself. Wise people have given it a lot of thought, so you might consider consulting what they said.

And you can draw the line at something being measurable to matter to you. That's your choice. I have found the things that matter most are fictions in my brain: love comes to mind.

It is also not necessary to measure to detect a distance. I love my dog, and I love my child. I cannot measure love, yet I detect a significant distance between my love for my dog and my love for my child.

Like love, "bias" has meaning even if it cannot be measured. Like love, one can detect distances between biases, even if they cannot be measured. Science (measurement), math (quantity), and logic (relations of ideas) are just as ephemeral, because they are founded upon unprovable axioms and norms.
Amateur prompt work for sure. I could make a convincingly realistic (although not indistinguishable) image and I’m by no means an expert. All the major giveaways cited in the thread can be cleaned up by iterating and retouching with other AI tools. There are people out there using MJ and DALL-E plus other tools 8+ hours a day making mind blowing stuff.
In some ways.
> I would like to state: I disagree. I don't want to be like Europe and ban things for temporary political points.

Ironically, I chose to immigrate to Europe, because the visa I have in the country I live gives me freedom to change jobs, and I have a clear path to citizenship.

I had offers from US companies, and I declined for not wanting to deal with H1B system. I never regretted this decision.

Make of that what you will.
