There's no wide mandated EU stance on this. Hugely depends on your country.

I work in Austria and most companies have mandatory office days due to outdated employment and insurance laws that discourage WFH, and micromanaging asshole company bosses who think that because they can't see you sitting at your desk then you must be slacking off at home on their dime, so they bullshit you and brainwash youngsters with "WFH destroys team spirit and cooperation so we 'choose' to spend 2h/day commuting to the office to be more efficient, but don't worry, because our office has free coffee and fresh fruits, ping-pong and foosball tables to de-stress and build team bonds" FUD.

100% WFH is incredibly rare privilege here. One of my friends broke his leg skiing and couldn't drive to the office anymore so the company instead of letting him WFH, they paid 40 Euros per day for taxis to pick him up from home and drive him to the office every day for almost 2 months. Absolutely mental.

I assume Sweden is more forward and progressive.
The problem with that framing is that those big companies aren't just responding to consumer demand but have also actively lobbied for policies that create said demand. For instance shipping companies pay a much lower corporate tax rate than other companies and car companies have lobbied against everything from efficiency and clear air regulation to creating alternatives to a car-first transportation system. Oil companies are in a league of themselves and we're only starting to see shenanigans they've done to stall dealing with climate change.
I was serious, I meant the cloud LLMs, the ones you run on your own are out of scope
I always viewed technical magazines as pages of advertisement because we don't see them on TV and it was the only platform for them to be noticed when there was less adaption of internet.
Sorry, I thought that was a critical distinction, my bad.

The hard part of this conversation is that 'consciousness' in other than the 'knocked unconscious' sense is a slippery concept. So we're all arguing from different assumptions.
Huh? You heat your home when you're not home?
I find it a lot faster to do icat previews than bother opening up an application to find & view a specific image. Even something as lightweight as feh, is still gonna open a split in my window manager which in going to be more jarring than a preview in the terminal.
Many HTMLs have the same issue
Terrible name, terrible implementation.
I don't think you can say that java "doesn't use type annotations".
It would allow portable graphics applications on the terminal, e.g. this C64-emulator-in-Docker only renders ASCII characters, but could be extended with sixels to render graphics (I actually tinkered with this, but didn't get far because most terminals have either none or too slow sixels support):

But, if a dog can do it (care about suffering) then? It's not a purely human thing. It can be in any creature.

anyway this whole discussion is based on uncertain ground -what is consciousness? What is suffering?
Plotting data, mathematical notation.
Even with an approximation? "That sounds like something I might say", people are capable of doing this, why can't LLMs?

The man with a shattered world : the history of a brain wound
by Lurii͡a, A. R. (Aleksandr Romanovich), 1902-1977

real WW2 story about a man who lost left side of vision in his eyes, written by neurophysiologist
The first order approximation is that the heat loss between the inside and outside is linear with the temperature difference (delta-T) between them. So, if the delta-T is 10°C when occupied and allowed to rise to 14°C when unoccupied for 8 hours, there is a small savings. When the heating system is then commanded to recover the temperature, it will generally do a longer, single run (which for fossil fuel equipment is more efficient than a series of small runs, but for heat pumps is not significantly different [unless it engages emergency backup, which is far worse])

Overall, it's a small win, partially offset in the heating season by the heat gain from human occupancy and activity. It's almost surely not enough of a win to sum up to pay for the conditioning of an entire office building that would otherwise not be heated beyond "don't freeze the plumbing".
Hi. looks great! Would this run on a Raspberry Pi? If so I'm quite tempted to purchase it and see how my son gets on with learning to code making games using it.
I’ve seen people using recreational drugs while working in the office, so…
They’re not stopping selling the Y or 3 with RHD, just the much more expensive and increasingly out of date S and X.

Tesla’s best bet right now to “sell hundreds of millions of teslas” are the Y and 3.
Anonymity, in the age of cryptography, is not going anywhere.

Between astroturfing, AIs, trolls, and foreign involvement, we are increasingly in need of a countering force. We are currently suffering under the tyranny of the anonymous!

It is astonishing that so many people are still swayed by such outdated cyberpunk ideologies! The arguments of the 1990s do not make sense given the realities of the 2020s.
Presumably a 15 degree F or whatever lower temp (and reduced use of electricity for other purposes) during the day does reduce costs somewhat. However, for most people, commuting is almost certainly a significantly larger expense.
Remember the snakehead, the introduced fish that would decimate native fish populations here in the US? That, uh, turned out to be not true as well. They’re coexisting quite peacefully with native fish.
That's because the USG (CIA, fed reserve, banking sector) are really good at propaganda. The best propaganda is the one you don't even realize.
I can no more complain about Exxon-Mobil creating emissions relating to the fuel that I buy than I can the local farmer killing a cow to make the beef that I buy.
It's a truism now that executives skim bonuses at all times. When the accountants got in charge of corporations they thought "Hey, we can write checks to ourselves!" and they did.

Not being a negative nelly. It's endemic. Any money left over from operation? It belongs to the executives. Can be dropping wages because "it wasn't a good year!" and executives still get bonuses.
Spooky action at a distance?

Kidding aside, no one knows what exactly we do differently that allows for complex thought, context switching, or conflict resolution that works around those aforementioned problems.
Sounds like a project from someone who never saw non-American 8-bits and non-American BASIC dialects, TBH.

Proudly boasting about features that were standard in Acorn's BBC BASIC in 1982 and which worked on an unexpanded 6502 machine with 16kB RAM, like inline assembly.
You are missing ~70% of the tools functionality.
Just a caveat: the one thing that will not be found in the Debian version that is in MacOS is:

ability to filter by incoming port and process ID combined. This is a Linux netfilter limitation.
Flipper Zero Unleashed Firmware
That is neat. But an undocumented tool is hardly a secret... [1]

and then skimmed a large bucket for themselves.

It's simple greed and profiteering. That's where the outrage comes from. And it was government (your) money.
Which tech companies are both making a lot of money and still allowing remote work?
Glad to know donations are funding important research (although this info by you deserves a [citation needed]).
First of all you're missing Alegro and LispWorks.

Secondly, we are speaking about dynamic languages over here, that keep using C and Fortran.
Indeed so. The BBC Micro Master 512 was the only other one I saw.
Thanks for the best explanation of the '186 I've seen in 30 years. :-)
In the US, we might say "Upper class," or "Privileged," or "Established family."

I suspect that was what he meant, but sometimes terms don't age so well. There's a whole bunch of terms that were commonly used throughout our South, that would be considered insults or racist dog-whistles, these days.
Are you staying that fed taxes are positive sum for the economy? That's a pretty bold claim, as most people would have trouble citing $3 trillion in real value the fed gov creates each year.
Who paid for this article? TikTok gives you more of what you watch, theres plenty of content opposite what they mention as well. There are videos about every possible thing on there
Yeah, on a very niche use case.
My condolences to OP.

My guess is that it tied to the “don’t harm anything” story? I was curious to see how people with these different extremely rigid belief systems adjust in the military.

I’m also “Brahmin” by birth but a beef eating atheist so don’t give a crap about it. But grew up around enough relatives that cared and never understood how they reconciled trying to be strict in some areas but being lax in others.

That’s why I was curious about how they adjust in the military.
At least they put their money where their mouth is. I for one have seen a lot of the productivity hits dissipate with the advent of remote work. It's at the expense of basic human psychology though. You really can't hire jerks, management cannot be "game players", and meetings need to be minimal and ad hoc. Remote work companies avoiding those 3 things eat in person companies lunch every day of the week as far as hours in and product out.
While I got more utility out of mags like PC Magazine, Byte especially had an unrivaled factor of serendipity delivered to your door
There's value to considering possible points of failure up front.

Think of the inertia that mag stripe only payment cards have in the USA, and think about how long it's taken to get chip cards rolled out. And then consider that we don't have the more secure chip and pin variant that Europe has, and (to the best of my knowledge) don't have any plans to go that route in the future.

A bad solution with broad penetration and huge network effects is one that can't easily be changed in the future. Let's do imagine some worst case scenarios and think about what it would involve to harden a system against them before rolling it out to everyone.
Your criticism of Wikipedia relies on it deprecating sources such as Breitbart? This seems like a non-issue for me — a propaganda outlet that really shouldn't be taken serious by anyone.
I believe any social site will inevitably devolve into spam and trolling, and arguments about why my poor behavior doesn't quite cross the line. It has to constantly solicit new content, even if it were completely devoid of financial goal, because it's fundamentally read-write.

Wikipedia aims for a read only state and will happily throw out any contribution even slightly out of line since that's not its mission. It's anti-social.
Open notepad or notepad++, add a library, write Typescript, save and run it in the browser. Go!
Quite true, and often overlooked when discussing fearless anything in the age of distributed computing.
Did anyone claim it to be equivalent? I said it was more useful. Just a tip.
That's a cool tool.

Thanks!
Elon is leaning on pragmatism to hide the fact that he’s just another high-profile coward. Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s a great engineer and a great businessman, but unfortunately he just can’t stop there. I guess it’s easy to be a shining knight of freedom when the people you are fighting against are weaker than you and will not touch your pocket.

That said, he has shown weakness and it is obvious that he doesn’t think Twitter is as strong as he makes it out to be. Otherwise he would have bargained with the fact that completely blocking twitter also affects the censor himself. Or… maybe he sees Erdogan as a better candidate for Twitter than the alternative?
The Curious Case of the Missing Google Assistant
It has not been implemented on a state level without the state also being totalitarian. There have been few tries to do it on a state level, anyways.

However, on a town or district level:

1. Primitive Communism — basically all human history before the agricultural revolution.

2. The Paris Commune — Paris was run by its workers for a few months before bloody suppression by capitalists.

3. The Israeli Kibbutz movement.

4. The Zapatistas in Mexico.

5. The Rojava region in Syria.

Overall, there are many cases in which communism has been successful and sustainable for a long time at a district scale. In case of primitive communism, for thousands of years.
Well, technically you do have the var keyword now.

var x = MyAwesomeClassFactoryBeanTemplate.getBean().getFactoryInstance().createNewMyAwesomeClass(foo, bar);
From the article, a set of reference servers, one in Swift, one in Go:

Swift for Tensorflow was such a success.
Voting is anonymous to make it harder for someone to demand proof that you voted in accordance with their wishes.

I wouldn't want my employer, for instance, to be able to verify that I voted for their preferred candidate for state representative and take retaliatory actions against me if I didn't.
Hyperrealistic personalized AI Headshots
Yeah that's definitely also true, it just became a different and (to my tastes) more objectionable slice!
What if no headhunters in your area have jobs that offer remote work?
Euarchontoglira would be a way less researched and relevant branch of life have it not produced us humans.

Same thing that if sentient birds were to appear, they will consider dinosaur epoch never ended, just had a setback and useful bottleneck.
Even as a working engineer a couple years later buying a PC clone (without hard drive) was a major decision. Probably 20+% of before-tax salary. And, yes, something like a C complier was a very non-trivial purchase as well.
In good company, that is what Python folks do all the time.
LegallyBlocked: Discover Blocked Websites and mobile apps
Introducing LegallyBlocked: Discover Blocked Websites & Alternatives Worldwide, Powered by Cloudflare's Edge Network

Hey Hacker News community! We're Himanshu Anand (https://twitter.com/anand_himanshu) and Dolly Agarwal (https://uk.linkedin.com/in/dolly-agarwal-179406121), a husband and wife team passionate about making the internet a more open and accessible space for all.

A couple of weeks back, we were in the UAE when we discovered that WhatsApp was partially blocked. After searching the internet, we found out that the app was restricted by the UAE government. We realized that information about blocked websites and applications was scattered and there was no centralized source to find such details. This inspired us to create LegallyBlocked, a platform that helps you find out which websites and applications are blocked in countries around the world, and offers alternatives to keep you connected!

Our application is built entirely on Cloudflare's technology stack, leveraging the power of Cloudflare Pages, Workers, and D1 to provide a lightning-fast, serverless experience. Thanks to the edge network deployment, our service is not only fast, but also scalable and reliable.

Key Features:

Backend written in Node.js, hosted on Cloudflare Workers for seamless serverless functionality
Database powered by Cloudflare D1, ensuring optimal data storage and retrieval
Static frontend hosted on Cloudflare Pages for a blazing fast user experience
Search functionality based on country name and application name

We're committed to keeping our database up-to-date, but we need your help to make it even better. We encourage you to share feedback, report any discrepancies, or suggest improvements by emailing us at contact@legallyblocked.website. Your input will help us refine our platform and ensure we're providing the most accurate and comprehensive data possible.

In the future, we plan to expand our offerings by providing suggestions for alternative websites and applications that can be used in a given location, ensuring that you always have options even when your preferred service is unavailable.

Half the joy of a Byte magazine issue was looking at all the cool products in the ads.

Full page ads for Tektronix Smalltalk workstations, with beautiful shots of exotic windowing systesms? Pages and pages of ads for S100 bus cards with interesting specs, in a city in another country? Yes please.

My elementary school library unloaded all their old issues on me in about 1986, and it was even enjoyable going back through the 1980, 1981 issues 5, 6 years later and seeing the stuff that was current at the time.

Yes, I was a nerd. Hah.

Wish I'd kept those, but they were in bad shape.
Admittedly even with 5-10 accounts per employee that isn't general-purpose-small-PR-agency stuff, but on a state levels it's nothing. For reference, quick google says slightly over 1 million people in USA hold top security clearance.
The book The Cauchy-Schwartz masterclass was crucial in the first paper I published, introducing the concept of Schur convexity. I am indebted to that great book.
It's also communication.

You can communicate across distance, you cannot communicate across time.

> It's the employee's education (& skill, experience, etc.) that matters, not the region's.

The quality of educational systems is regionally defined, yes the other aspects are individual, and there's variation in what each individual can get out of the given educational context - but to claim that there's no degree of consistency in the calibre of candidates that come from given regions is ridiculous.

There're always exceptions to generalisations - but you seldom want to pick up a single regional employee (except for the smallest of projects), because timely communication is always vital.

If the individual is of such an extraordinary calibre that they become a vital hire, it often involves relocation.
They hire ad / "lead" companies to collect emails of people who have clicked on an ad, or entered their email saying they support A, B, or C and give them permission to post a comment on their behalf. So in theory each comment has someone who gave the company permission to post a comment for them. BUT if you tell an ad company "hey here is $2 million, get us X number of emails" they're going to produce X emails even if there are not X amount of people. The actual fake profiles come from "publisher" websites that generate fake clicks or leads. Usually the ad or lead companies will have some sort of system to detect fake / spam responses... but $2 million is a decent incentive to maybe loosen their standards a bit.
In my part of the world there's this saying: "it takes 10 000 pizzaiolos to make a football player"

I guess influencing is the new football.
It is not always clear what will turn out to be useful or not, even in terms of morale. Witness Richard Feynman’s curiosity about a wobbling plate that someone threw in the air, that he credits with solving his burnout with science: https://pubs.aip.org/aapt/ajp/article/75/3/240/1056339/Feynm...
You don't need to go to the building to use their internet to code stuff for machines that are on the internet or behind a VPN or ZeroTrust gateway that is also on the internet, if you have internet.

I worked at an internet-native company a bit over a decade ago, they got more done in two sprints than the "enterprise" places would get done in 3-6 months.
I don’t like how this person measured their serving sizes by volume. It’s much better to measure in grams.
I cant. Kid's education and Work related things still requires printing. And actually I have grown much more fond of printing things out in paper rather than keeping it digital as I age. I still print about 10-20 page a month.
It's so obvious when you use Twitter as to not really need confirmation.

It's not like a fuzzy statistical boost, it's literally just all Blue replies come above all non-Blue replies. The only exception is that a non-Blue reply can sometimes get boosted in order to be able to show a blue 2nd-level reply.

If you scroll through replies you'll often find a bunch of zero-like replies like "lol" and "me too" from Blue users, then below that a handful of insightful replies with dozens of likes, from non-Blue users. You can see why the latter are not gonna keep posting those replies much longer.
We went remote starting in mid-March 2020 for some reason. I expected to hate it and while it definitely took some adjustment, I absolutely love it now. I don't think my overall time spent on work has changed much, but what has changed is that I spread it out much more and take advantage of the ebbs and flows of motivation to do certain kinds of work. If I have some tedious drudgery to take care of (think expense report or similar paperwork tedium), I can grind that out in a mindless fashion while I also do some laundry and prepare myself a lunch. If inspiration or a good idea strikes me early in the morning or on a weekend, I can sit down and do 15-60 minutes of work and then close it up and immediately be back in my house and on to whatever I want to do. If I need to attend a parent-teacher conference or my kids' sporting events at the school, I'm a 10 minute walk away instead of a 30+ minute drive away. That means a parent-teacher conference might take 45 minutes out of my day, including 2 nice 10-minute walks instead of being something that I have to battle the other parents to get the coveted 7:00 or 7:30 AM slot and then drive into the office.

I do think there are downsides in terms of building a sense of team and belonging and some tasks simply work better in-person, but overall it's been a huge win personally to go remote and roughly a push for the company.
But you can work in remote companies in different EU countries..
When I was in college, a classmate jumped from the top of the library and left a letter in which he complained that life is meaningless. I hope he could have read this article.
Denying would imply for me, activly supressing someones identity.

Merley saying it, is rude and offensive, but just another opinion and should maybe not put in the same bag, as hate speech, with the usual association of violence.

"It's like insisting on referring to someone from Tibet as Chinese. "

And this is the same. Someone saying it, is just a opinion and when the chinese government mandates it, than this is called political oppression and not hate speech.
> ability to filter by incoming port and process ID combined

Considering Process ID almost always changes, is that a significant limitation? I can think of one use case when it can be useful is when you want to apply the rule temporarily until the process is restarted.
All the exciting media outlets are dying – what comes next?
> But I'm sick and tired of these people in the industry dropping their toys because they're tired of working on stuff people actually use instead of just improving what they currently have.

I have sometimes the same feeling. I often dream of a "united community" working on a "perfect tool".

But there are so many differences in the community. In reality – as in most human systems – people create their own "dream tools". And the success of new tools influences earlier tools trying to catch up.

Because Deno has some traction, this forces Nodejs to catch up. I think Bunjs has accelerated some changes in Deno's Nodejs compatibility.

In the process, a lot of efforts seem lost. However, this is the way humans and communities are working: people learn by imitating others, changes are often pushed by new tools and systems that have more freedom to evolve.
