I coded the AppleTalk stack for Apple's A/UX a year or two before the above conversation (I don't know if my code ever got used more widely at Apple) - it was all STREAMS - and pretty easy - create a DDP mux layer, open a stream on it (allocating a socket number), push an ATP module on that - you have an ATP connection - push a remote login protocol extension on that, then push a line discipline on that - all like plugging together lego bricks. You could replace DDP with UDP and do the same thing.

STREAMS really was the cool thing at the time (if you were in the SystemV camp, if you were in the BSD camp it was the enemy - A/UX had both :-)
I do agree. ACF is indicative of site owner hiring someone else to do the design / build.

The rest, I see it different. Most WP sites are self-setup (read: for "free") by the site owner. ACF has 2M installs. That's a fraction of total WP sites. Therefore, I conclude most WP site aren't setup by "designers".
When using system prompts, you still need to finetune the language model to follow the content of the system prompt. I think that you can't quite replace constitutional AI with a constitution-systemprompt even if you do this. In practice, LMs still need chain of thought to determine whether an output is consistent with the constitution.

Amen. I'm still using Picasa: periodically I go prowling for an equivalent app but there's still nothing to touch it. Fuck their photo cloud: I have ADSL so uploads are sluggards. I need local storage, fast searching, good facial recognition, a lightweight UI, and that's Picasa.

Yup this stuff is not for managers. It's on par with expecting managers to work out maxwells equations by themselves. It's not what managers are hired to do. Better option is to hand over data to academics/experts, and do what you can until they return with better models.

It is a smaller scale version of the cameron government that cut everything to the bone, but they legalised gay marriage (though needed labour votes to actually get it done) so they aren't the bad guys, right? (obviously that was separate bills but I think the point works on a larger scale too)

Most people trying to solve a problem would focus their efforts on the low hanging fruit, in an attempt to have the largest impact in the shortest amount of time.
But instead the focus is on petty targets that are simply annoying or unsightly, we ban plastic straws and bags, gas stoves and lawn mowers, loud engines, run farmers out business for using fertilizer to feed ourselves and a growing population, only to find out theres an extra UKs worth methane being pumped into the air because someone cant be bothered to find a crescent wrench and tighten some pipes.

Do note that the article is from 2020. I have some experience with Booking.com and Expedia from the other side of the check-in desk (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35591495).

Nobody asked for overloaded bills. The appropriate change is to unbundle the mixed bag of policy and do it properly piece by piece.

All money is fiat money, in the sense that value is based entirely on social negotiation and agreement, not inherent use value.

Anyone who doesn't understand this should try eating gold. Or an ETF. Or a dollar bill.

Of course gold does have some use value, but so do plenty of other metals. The only special thing about it is that it has a history of being valuable - already a social agreement - and it gives a very clear agreed social signal when used in jewellery.
Strange set of comments in this thread.

As others said, accountants are hired under confidentiality agreements. What that means is, should said accountant breach my trust, they're an easy target to hit with a lawsuit. The possibility discourages scammy behavior and establishes some baseline trust.

Big corporations are also good targets for lawsuits - they may not be easy, but they are stationary, and if you have a good case, chances are many other people have one too. This is, again, establishing some baseline of trust, even in absence of a proper business contact.

Random SaaS / fresh startups? They're a highly-mobile targets. There's a good chance they may close shop and disappear overnight. There is no baseline of trust there, and much more thorough due diligence is required.
Please be specific. Which parts of the claim "The Irish government is proceeding with legislation to outlaw so-called “hate speech” – even after the vast majority of respondents to their public consultation expressed opposition to the idea" [1] are false?

The only source for the "vast majority of respondents expressed opposition" claim I can find is your quoted source, a site that seems to focuses exclusively on culture war topics, and is based on their own analysis without publishing their data. Not a reliable source. I took a look at the gov.ie link you shared. It seems there were 104 written individual submissions, and 3528 online individual submissions. Whatever the prevailing mood of the responses, can this be taken to be an accurate snapshot of the public mood of a nation of 5 million people? Also, the gript.ie analysis ignored submissions by groups and elected officials.

Or is the photo of a page of that law, showing that possession of material likely to incite violence or hatred (with no mention of truthfulness as defense) falsified?

This law was debated in the Dáil by the TDs elected by the people to represent their views. People raised issued, amendments were made. The issue around possession of material likely to incite violence or hatred was raised. There was a largely civil public debate around it, where various groups raised various issues, including the specific one you mention. It just didn't go your way. This is how democracy works.

What's happened here is that this seems to have been picked up by the US right (Donald Trump Jr. and Elon Musk have rowed in) and it's brought a lot of attention to it. We largely don't have the deeply polarised discourse here that the US has, our democracy is largely civil and functioning more or less as well as such an imperfect system can. What we're starting to get here in recent years is a vocal and emboldened fringe minority who feel entitled to bring the validity of the whole system of societal decision-making into question when it doesn't support their views. This is the thing that is dangerous here, we've already seen this trend lead to violence in the US.
Since some people do seem to accept to tip up to 20% (as per the article), why would they not ask? It costs nothing, so it's basically free money.

Maybe the tipping-culture is so embedded in the US that some people find it hard to refuse? Because here in Europe I can pretty much guarantee that people would simply mutter "F off" and tap 'no'.
The article says:

Being barebones is a part of the selling point for an eXtensible platform though. ejabberd came with really good defaults, and Prosody only a little painful (though most of that could be chalked up to DNS being a pain + Nginx behaving unexpectedly).

EU is looking to impose carbon border fees.

The looming threat of those is why China has introduced Carbon fees to their internal market.

If Turkmenistan is selling its fossil fuel to China then that GHG cost can be charged against Chinese goods being exported to EU.

Which gives China a financial incentive to lean on Turkmenistan to fix their leaks.

(Also WorldInData has figures for GHG with and without imports/exports. It generally doesn't change the big picture too much.)

>I was hoping 30 years ago that the tyrany of christianity is being eradicated in my lifetime

It's funny you refer to the tyranny of Christianity when by far the most tyrannical regimes were all officially atheist (Stalin's, Mao's, Pol Pot's, North Korea), and the west has been getting steadily more and more authoritarian as it's gotten less and less Christian. Fundamentally most non-religious people are utilitarians, who see no inherent value in a life and hence are open to the idea of sacrificing a few lives for the "good of the many".

The first step to dictatorship is convincing people there's no such thing as "absolute" rights, so that they won't object to the regime making up more and more excuses to violate people's rights. And without a belief in some kind of higher power the majority of people also won't have any reason to believe that some rights are inherently inviolable.
It's weird that they are using SystemVerilog given that EU projects tend to heavily favour VHDL in my experience.
A Letter to Mother Nature: Amendments to the Human Constitution
So is me not being able to demonstrate inside your house. That free speech can be limited by the right of free association, private property and public safety needs has been an established principle for centuries.

And if anti-abortionists can demonstrate elsewhere, which they can and do, it isn't much of an issue. It's not as if the pro-life camp is at risk of not having their views heard if they can't block the doors to abortion clinics and call women whores and killers right to their faces.
I'm 5 years into my software development career, for now I am fine. But I am also making sure that my next possible job is already lined up. I'm not taking any chances with a single client, company or even a technology holding a decision over whether I can earn a livelihood; now or in the future.
