Learning calculus in high school made me question everything. You can never measure anything, never mind the area of a circe using calculus. It will only ever be a "good enough" measurement.

There is a point where all of you will finally come to appreciate the limits of rationalism and materialism and let go a bit more.

You’re really trying to be uncharitable eh?

We’ve been talking about time travel for millennia. But I can guarantee you that if tomorrow we figure out a way for most people to actually reliably perform it and play with it, it will be defined as “bursting into the public consciousness”.
This is a little weird for me:

Not my downvote, but,

>Corporate taxes should be sufficient.

As we have seen, these type of taxes on predatory corporations are proven insufficient to curtail the predatory activity.

If this was corrected, then non-predatory corporations and ordinary workers would not need to be taxed at all once a jurisdiction had reached a certain level of prosperity overall.

I couldn't agree more - and after all the misdirection, I'm rather looking forward to finding commentators of integrity once again. And I think the search for honest commentary will be part of the pleasure of restoring our trust in one another once again.
Sorry -- I missed that. I'll delete my comments -- obviously I'm just an idiot asking dumb questions that have no value to anybody. I thought I read through it.

Seems like all he really said was that people who refuse to get vaccinated should take responsibility for the fact that they're objectively a threat to other people and that dealing with the consequences of their own actions is ultimately their problem.

Interpreting that as him saying they should starve is certainly... creative.
"Theories" that are pervasive thruout society and that are believed in religiously amount to a form of ideological totalitarianism.
> I think this has been borne out in practise for the most part.

That very much depends on the subject matter. Subjects that are at all politically or socially controversial are very likely to be under the control of one or the other side. If it's a "boring" subject that lots of people are interested in, then the page will probably be fairly balanced.
I've setup and use Vicuna-13b for text classification, summarization and topic modelling. Works like a charm.

It's also good for math lessons.
I honestly was trying to find information on the health effects of popular "don't kill grass" dog urine pills.

... and by the bottom of the "article" was learning how computers worked.

The only thing I can imagine is they cascaded prompts, which allowed the subject to drift that much.
> A major problem that the journalists face is that we live in an era where any person with a microphone can broadcast their opinion, and it turns out the thoughtful intelligent and intellectually honest types don't work in media outlets. People are going to start organising to listen to people of higher quality than journalists.

Have to disagree with your last sentence there - from what I've seen, people in general want drama and someone to echo their existing opinions back at them. This is partly why there is so much poor quality journalism - that's what sells best, so that's where most of the money is.

What we need is quality journalism (which does or at least did exist - I believe The Boston Globe have a strong history of that for example) but I fear what we'll get is any person with a microphone broadcasting their opinion, which means more demagogues and other shouty idiots spouting half truths. I mean, that's what we have already tbh so I don't see things changing for the better in the vacuum left behind by traditional media outlets.

Frankly, parentheses was the last thing on my mind. I typically use them by default, and remove them in cases where it might make sense.

Mostly I was thinking about stuff like arrangements of hashes, arrays, method arguments, naming of methods and variables, various styles of method chaining, block usage, etc.
-Nobody- cares if your lonesome project is not accepting PR or even better stands denuded of any pretense of README, etc. For these it is sufficient to have a OSS license named and you’re good to go. And if you ignore PRs — and you are under no obligations to do this imho — no one will post to HN to tattle on you, because:

All these discussions are about ~hot properties. Implicit in all this is ego, prestige, and potential for profits, that is ownership, attribution, and control of some kind. You see the same dynamics apply at the next level of OSS projects hitting pay dirt ($) and locking horns with Cloud providers and ‘modifying’ OSS licenses.

Adventures in Ruby-esque type enforcement
My own work has been dismissed as too theoretical and impractical. I'm just pointing out the reaction that this language of "playing" can elicit in those strata of society that want to see "results". And, more importantly, to the people who do all the work that is needed to keep people like me alive: those who make the food I eat, who keep the trains running, who keep the sewers unclogged, the streets clean, the houses from falling, etc.

There is a certain arrogance in the article above, and I felt it should be pointed out. When we set out on a grand adventure of the mind, we should not forget who it is that's footing the bill.
> when you graduate to Visual Basic

Please don't. I don't mind Microsoft pushing .NET languages, that's sort of expected, but why VB? Getting started with modern Visual Basic isn't actually all that much easier than with C# -- both target the .NET runtime, and the deeper semantics are actually largely the same. And C# is infinitely more relevant in the job market.
My Hypothesis: All matter exists in a sphere of probability. Our brains are masters of computing probabilities to tell us the most likely location for any object. It is not that we collapse the wave form, but that our brain ignores the wave form for our convenience.

GeniusTrip – simplifying Travel Planning through AI
Hi folks!
I have just launched my project - GeniusTrip, a AI based travel planner that simplifies the travel planning process.

I am using OpenAI's APIs to retrieve the basic information reg a location and using travel partner APIs to add certain intelligence to the final output.

This is still in very early stage, so any feedback or suggestions will be super helpful.
Do you think LLMs and coding assistants (current or near future iterations) might change this?
You have to understand it's really annoying when people accuse you of not arguing in good faith, especially for something like having "strong opinions". These kinds of accusations are itself not "approaching the discussion in good faith", so you just go in a circle and don't get anywhere. You can try passing it off as idle observations but not after you admitted going through my comments lol.

What happens if this need isn’t filled? Well, the focus of this article for one, more and more astroturfing and fraud. How about riling up another country’s voting public with lies?

It's remarkable how many people oppose an increase to inheritance tax despite the fact that every proposal I have seen would exempt... almost everyone. At worst, the most aggressive proposals would simply skim a little off of the very largest wealth transfers. The very rich would remain very rich. Yet in our current political climate, even the mildest proposal is accused of being full blown communism.
Yes, I can. I never wanted to buy the fuel in the first place. It's just that everything was designed in such a way that I must burn it to survive. I go out of my way not to whenever possible but my economic constraints don't allow freedom from it.

Even if I manage to find somewhere that I don't need it, a ridiculous amount will be used behind the scenes for everything else I need. Or there will be 100 others who can't get into that situation.

I'm not living a lavish life where I can just cut back much either. I'm living a barebones one and still cutting it close financially despite being a developer.
This is very clever. Thanks for sharing.

You just send the particular query (e.g. ‘CSI 14 t’) and the terminal sends back a response in the defined form¹.

It's not. Public libraries aren't considered hate groups anywhere but in the current propagandists wild imaginations.

That legislation is about weaponizing existing tools to whitewash history and in the context of the Florida "stop woke act"/"don't say gay" bill follows a lineage of curtailing and restricting education in some wild "satanic panic" style attack on the manufactured issues of CRT and "wokeism", specifically as spearheaded by the Florida GOP

This is part of that legislative agenda and is meant to remove topics such as civil rights, women's rights, LGBT history and labor struggle from school curriculum.

You're free to ignore that and pretend otherwise but you're not fooling me.

I am still using my early 2015 MacBook Pro at home. Purely because I cant stand the any of the new keyboard, both Butterfly with 0.7mm Key Travel or New Magic Keyboard with only 1mm Key Travel.

The 2015 MacBook had the old scissors keyboard with 1.3/1.5mm Key Travel. It also comes with a Trackpad size that is sane, and not an oversized trackpad. The previous Trackpad had zero false positive over years of usage, compared to larger trackpad where you get 1 or 2 false positive every few months.

I was looking around for companies such as AWS and Contabo who sell domains without a markup fee. However i havent found any that support the .zip TLD.

that makes sense and is pretty good because otherwise people could very easily have bought out every decent domain.

For example, i have nabbed modpack.zip, ultimately however i dont see many scenarios where someone would make money from someone's technical inexperience being manipulated with this simple domain. But i feel slightly driven to keep it from the wrong hands. Plus that domain is really easy to remember which is great.

It's not clear to me there needs to be any exemption at all on inheritances. It should all be taxable income IMO. Poor people having their inheritances taxed will just get it back later in enhanced government benefits. More in fact since rich people have way larger inheritances to tax.

Another huge loophole is charitable deductions. There's absolutely no reason the government needs to be helping fund individual charity decisions (for anyone, poor or rich). You have billionaires avoiding the majority of taxes they owe by giving money away to their pet charity causes.

Did you every try them? I think the "no-season" is a stereotype. They are basically Summer tyres with extra grip, a bit louder, and a bit faster-wearing than some of the hardest Summer tyres out there. They reduce slipping in the rain and increase traction even in the Summer, which I like. In snow they are definitely enough to be completely safe driving around 20-30mph (urban areas) in a modern car in my experience.
...They wanted me to sign up to a jira instance that wasn't publicly available to create an issue so that I could create a github pull request or some such. Real byzantine. Couldn't even find any contact information to the developers

Not much of a barrier when if contributing to this particular code base was of high personal importance.

I mean, if that's the way the team works. That's the way it works and if it isn't the way a particular person wants to work then perhaps they are not a good fit with the team.

[This is not intended as snark] If the project is important to you and the team doesn't work in a way that works for you, set up your own fork. Yes it's a lot of work that will beget more work. But that's what important things usually entail.

Once you have your fork, you can set your own bar for contributions and other project policies.

Adafruit does run its own forum but this is about live-streamed video that is also stored for on-demand viewing.

And as the post mentions, the video in question is not gone, they do the stream on multiple platforms simultaneously, for instance it's still on YouTube. They do this not only because of the expense of operating your own video hosting infrastructure but also to be where their audience is, which is in multiple places.

That's not the case at all. You're presuming a level of liquidity that just isn't there. You're also presuming that nobody pays attention to a large shareholder selling lots of stock. But these number are public. If a major Twitter shareholder starts selling things off, even if they do it slow enough that the price doesn't fall too far right way, people will notice, taking at a signal that the major shareholder has a good reason to sell, thus causing the price to drop.

These large shareholders might be quite happy to have a way out without taking further losses, even if it doesn't mean further gains.
Very interesting. I think this explains a lot of the magic that happens under the surface in the frontend frameworks. I quite like the approach you are using to avoid a build step and also zero dependencies.
