>The value is in Netflix always having more content for you to watch.

More precisely it's, as you said, in Netflix always having more can't miss content for you to watch. If you subscribe to Netflix for one or two shows that you absolutely must watch they are perfectly fine with that.

A random sleep of up to 60 seconds doesn't really solve the problem the OpenBSD changes do, especially when your jobs take longer than 60s.

For example, instead of "0-59/10" in the minutes field, "0~59/10" can be used to run a command every 10 minutes where the first command starts at a random offset in the range [0,9]. The high and low numbers are optional, "~/10" can be used instead.

“… there's a reason you don't see gun control advocates arguing for banning single-shot hunting rifles or basic handguns.”

Actually, you do see that. “Single-shot hunting rifles” are “sniper weapons”. Handgun bans have been advocated since the 1960s.
> Once your yacht is of a certain size, the only reason to make it bigger is to demonstrate how much wealthier you are than other yacht owners.

This may or may not be the opinion of people in the position to actually assess it. It can be the difference between being able to go to a place you want to go or not, based on range or seaworthiness. It can be the difference between having an amenity on the craft or not.

A few months ago President Biden announced his war on "junk fees" which should include this, but it appears the administration has ADHD and quickly forgot about it.
I’m guessing that if you don’t join big federated chatrooms on your Matrix server, it runs absolutely fine on minimal resources.

One of the smarter things the bluesky team looks to be doing is to split the world into heavy-lifting versus personal servers, so folks don’t end up with their personal servers suddenly sucking up lots of resources just because a user views #wtf or whatever. We should look into this sort of
tiering too for Matrix, to eliminate the “Matrix is resource heavy” snark.
This was my immediate first thought as well, I thought it was perhaps a React-based implementation of this existing product.
Last time I looked the levels of SPAM attempts on me has dropped from ~10k to ~4k attempts per day (over the last few years), so I don't think that things are getting worse in general for everyone.
yeah, this is a weird thread

I actually hate Steam. I despise Steam. But I have to go to bat for them here and say that they don't seem any worse today than they ever have been, and every time I get dragged into opening their shitty app to buy a game that isn't available elsewhere, the app is at least a little better than it was last time I used it.

The only things about them that are particularly user-hostile and make me hate them are:

1. DRM - The DRM isn't particularly onerous but it is there. All your dozens or hundreds of games get locked together into one account, and even if you own two or three computers, you can only play a game on one of them at a time. This made it very difficult for me to maintain a VR gaming station at my house, since my nephews playing VR upstairs meant that I couldn't play DotA 2 downstairs unless I started a second account.

2. Customer Service - Their customer service isn't as nonexistent as some companies', but it's pretty thin on the ground

So far as I can tell, they seem to go out of their way not to enshittify anything in any way ever.
That's maybe typical of a butcher? After the 'named' cuts are taken, there's plenty of meat left close to the bone. Trim that off, grind it up, maybe it's 1/3 to 1/2 of the total.
I achieved my quickest, simplest, most pleasant customer service interaction yet with an airline by writing a letter explaining what they did (with transaction IDs, confirmation numbers, etc), and what they should have done. The situation was not entirely simple, and I was not looking forward to explaining it verbally to a rep.

They sent me back a simple letter a couple weeks later saying they'd resolved the issue the way I requested and provided me the updated documentation.

I'll definitely consider this approach next time something like this happens.
Damn. Why not self-host something on that scale?!

To me it’s not about getting “your money’s worth.” If they want to charge extra for the pool or a couple of bottles of water, fine, as long as it’s optional. These are always mandatory fees though. If I have to pay it, it should be included in the displayed price, and there shouldn’t be any surprises at checkin.
A lot of times mathematical notation use domain specific naming conventions for they variables and each the tradition is a leftover from a time when you had to write the whole line (by hand) for every step you wrote down and only a few name variables. Take a look code at the other extreme can you imagine writing down verbose Java code line by line using quill and ink? I don't even want to read such a low entropy highly redundant "notation" on a 34" 8k screen. The only way to navigate it is through load bearing IDEs.
Not sure if they have cash. I could imagine that debt is also pretty high. Would be interesting to see if the average debt per house hold has risen.

The reason why anti-aging is hard is that humans are already very long lived for a large high metabolism mammal. As a result it's likely that evolution has already picked most of the low hanging fruit in humans. We're already optimized for decent longevity.

This is why you see so many promising longevity studies in mice that don't replicate in humans. Mice are not particularly long lived compared to humans, so it's much easier to extend their life spans.
Surprised more people aren't talking about how Microsoft has a near monopoly on the developer ecosystem. They've got GitHub, OpenAI, and VS Code all working together and collecting data that strengthen each other's products while also using their embrace, extend, extinguish strategy with WSL and all of these steer people towards Azure services whenever possible. Seems like something that verges on an anti-trust situation when you think about the flywheel effect data has for AI

credit to Microsoft for rehabbing their reputation with developers but it seems like a massive trojan horse

Hate to burst your bubble of excitement, but just today (or over the weekend) Texas is in the news for the wrong reasons (yet again, and no guns involved in this particular news). Legislation is being pushed to encourage natural gas and slowing down wind/solar. New regulations to place annual permits on wind farms because of the blight on the scenery type excuses. The people are gas lighting the public (pun intended) to the point that they blame renewable energy for the failures of the gas plants during the '21 freeze and the public is accepting it. So in Texas, discounts for fossil fuels, extra fees for renewables.

You do see gun control advocates arguing for banning basic handguns and single-shot hunting rifles.

The Brady organization comes from a political predecessor literally named "Handgun Control Inc." That was the push several decades ago.

How to Write a Design Document
I think the "advice" industry focuses on SaaS because it's easier to give simple advice. I don't know that actual investment balance weights this way. In some sense, it's actually harder to start a startup because you're in a more competitive space as a pure SaaS app, no matter what the product, vs real "deep tech".
Datadog's SEC filings indicated otherwise.

Since 2022 Q1, the allowance for doubtful accounts has remained under $6 million. Bankruptcy generally triggers a writedown of any associated receivables, so Datadog appears to not have had any material exposure to FTX or any other bankrupt customer.
You should exhaust your administrative remedies first. Go through your bank and through facebook. For your bank a chargeback, read the specific terms, it sounds like services not received would apply if you are unable to access the services. Presumably facebook is not continuing to run the ads if the account was banned. Eliott has some good contact info for executive customer service as you have already contacted them the normal way.

Failing that it costs around $100 to file in small claims and serve the defendant, if you lose you are out that money, plus the time. If you win the fee is included in the judgement is almost every state. The process is to find the registered agent to name in the lawsuit, file the case with the clerk where the defendant is located and pay the fees, serve the defendant and have proof of service. Most likely they will negotiate a settlement and it would end there, before going to court. If you can't agree you go to small claims and either travel in person or appear by teleconference. Make your case with the judge and prove all the elements required for your type of case, it isn't super formal though. If you win and get a judgement and either they pay or you go to the sheriffs to collect.

Bank runs result from depositors who suddenly lose confidence in the safety of their money. MMFs are not causing runs per se, but maybe bank walks. However the officially released data has shown that this isn't happening in recent weeks.

I agree the gov't screwed over the banks here. I'm not sure how forcing MTM alone would help. What we'd have needed is better regulation, or simply more thoughtful monetary policy.

For BoA, if you stare at the balance sheet, sure it looks not great. If no one ever looks at it, things probably work out just fine, because again, only thing that is going to cause an issue is if alarmists start spreading FUD and folks start yanking deposits.

> there's a reason you don't see gun control advocates arguing for banning single-shot hunting rifles or basic handguns.

Not sure what you mean by basic but people advocate for handgun bans all the time. DC had one until the Supreme Court overturned it in 2008.

Gun control advocates should spend most of their effort trying to ban handguns rather than AR-15s, seeing as rifles (all rifles, not just AR-15s) are only used in something like 3% of firearm homicides.
Putting a ticket into a sprint is the same as putting it into a queued stage of kanban for purposes of reporting, although the reported number will differ (“this sprint” vs mean cycle time with percentile bounds.) Both methods can have unordered backlogs where something can sit indefinitely.

(Many orgs are understandably nervous to automatically report a simple number as an estimate; in those cases, you could translate cycle time into a date range estimate so long as you’re not also expected to report “we’ve started” etc. since those won’t necessarily line up.)
This. I think the crux of the issue is that people have never found that copy-pasting blobs of confidential data was rewarding because, comparatively to GPT, pasting in google is, how can I say, a bit dumb.

Now we're seeing improvements to search where pasting large bodies of text provides actual value and it just needs to be reiterated that copy-pasting data into a website gives said website access to the data, so don't do that. Although the framing of this discussion has been around 'pasting into AI chats is bad' it really should be "don't leak confidential information to websites, chat GPT included".
What would happen if Apple just started using attestation at a later date? It is still in the spec after all. I could see some services being willing to drop Apple for competitive reasons. ChatGPT only works on Edge browser at the moment IIRC.
Oh, the broad Nazi political environment that elected Jews to the two highest positions in the country? Just stop it.
A kernel panic probably halts the machine for a good reason. A user space log analyzer can search for a solution after the reboot, ChatGPT or other traditional technologies.

A not working graphic driver would result in a black screen. Again, a user space log analysis after a reboot or maybe a ALT Fn?

Anyway, why baking that functionality inside the kernel and how would it interact with the user? Over the console? A user space log analyzer could detect issues before the previous shutdown or reboot and offer to find a solution.
> Isn't this backwards in criminal court? Wouldn't the onus be on the prosecution to prove that the video was real?

The judge is very much for the prosecution deposing Musk to ask him - under oath - if he can corroborate or dispute what's in the video. The defense was asking the videos to be thrown out entirely because they could be fake.
The issue is not that there has to be "Conflict" as in AI versus humans.
The problem is simpler, think about what happens when computer software has a bug in it... the result is failure of the system and everything dependent upon it.

AI will lead to "Failure" of systems from the human point of view. could that mean enslavement by our AI masters or worse?

Well, we are going to train AI on human knowledge and experience. So what does history tell us about the need to protect mankind against itself? Maybe that the risk of imbalanced motives is impossible to protect against?

The Disney world ridership numbers are from 2012, back then the daily ridership numbers for BART was well over 300,000 or more than twice that of Disney’s Monorail.

Your BART number is also in the middle of the Pandemic, back then the daily ridership of the Disney’s monorail was 0, as the park was closed.

Most resent number for BART is (Q4 2022) 146,500 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bay_Area_Rapid_Transit

> And as a user, I don’t trust Apple's or Google's sync backends enough to store my most important credentials there

I'm not sure everyone realizes that you don't get a choice whether or not Apple passkeys are synced to iCloud, you can't create a passkey from Safari unless iCloud syncing is turned on.

Regardless of whether or not there's support for exporting/importing, you should as a user have the option to not send your passkeys to iCloud. That is a completely reasonable ask. There's really no system where synchronizing to the cloud and syncing between devices/ecosystems ought to be required for the user. I want users to have that option and I have some disagreements about whether services should be able to block it, but I do want it to be an option rather than a requirement.

My guess is that Apple is worried people will turn off syncing without knowing the implications, but... it should still be the user's choice. It's completely legitimate for someone to be annoyed about forced sync.
> Unfortunately, archaeologists are unable to provide additional evidence because any boats used by Neanderthals would have been made of wood, which would have long since decomposed to nothing.

Why make the leap to assume they invented sails, given the lack of physical evidence? I mean, it seems reasonable to think they could have rowed or even floated 40km long before they developed sails, and that they would develop those techniques on the way to doing that.
> About the only services on the internet that are not wholesale blocked are DNS and HTTPS.

Really? I'm so happy and fortunate that hasn't been true for me. If the only thing I could reach was the web, well over half of the usefulness of the internet would evaporate.
Kindle Unlimited works[1] works that way. They have pool of royalties derived as a percent of revenue for the month, that then distributed by views on a proportional basis. They have a specific algorithm that defines a "normalized page view" which prevents gaming from people doing things like using larger fonts, or adding filler pages that people skip.

I could imagine a version of this being adapted to other "unlimited consumption" model platforms like video streaming. That leaves room for the contract to negotiate the royalty percentage, maybe with some kind of a fixed floor, and to discuss how views are "normalized." Does minutes watched make sense? Should it be normalized by account, rather than overall time? etc ...

I remember when I was a kid, textbooks would draw a distinction between “homo sapiens” and “homo sapiens sapiens.” But it is odd, when I search “homo sapiens sapiens,” I only see links to like, homework helper/yahoo question sites referencing it. Wikipedia and the Smithsonian seem to have dropped the second sapiens.

Is this an update to how this stuff is understood? I vaguely think the extra sapiens was added on to draw a distinction between “behaviorally modern” humans or something like that. But that always seemed more like a cultural thing anyway.
I'll definitely be trying this out!
Largest possible grain of salt on these threshold ARR numbers. People want stuff like this to be true more than it actually is true. What's probably pretty reliably the case is that if you're doing low-mid 7 figures ARR, your fundraising path is straightforward.

It is ChatGPT and it's not useful. It purposefully hides while it attempts to illuminate.

It masquerades as summarizing the paper, but it's a random grab of whatever OP decided to jam into the chatbox that fits in the context window, (if you check, its mostly regurgitating the abstract).

However, it presents itself as a summary as if the entire paper was read.

I'm _really_ into AI stuff but the flippant nature its used at on HN has me scared. People here are generally well-educated, considered in their decisions, and are well acquainted with tech. If HN can't avoid glaring issues with it, who can?

The top example that came to mind was someone laboriously sharing a really nice data-driven comment, someone asks source? they say ChatGPT, and acted like we were trolling for saying it hallucinates.
Came here to see if anyone else had a problem with that timeline.
