That’s an interesting combination of WeWork and Airbnb. It makes sense; people go to WeWork to not be alone, and remote work forces people to use their spare rooms to create home offices. So now they can’t rent out the spare room in Airbnb but they could rent a shared desk for work.
>if you want to consume news and know whats going on in the world

The thing is if you are consuming that sort of media then you aren't really going to know what is going on in the world.

It's that old dilemma. Don't read the news and you will be uninformed, read the news and you will be misinformed.
Even in my EU country, with a decent public healthcare system, the staffing shortages have increased post-covid and are only getting worse.

The irony is that the staff shortages are further amplifying the shortages, as stressed out staff is leaving the field and youngsters want to avoid this profession when they hear about the stress of dealing with the shortages.

It's like the rolling snowball effect.

The obvious solution is to pay staff much more, but with what money? We can't print anymore cheap money as we're already in an inflationary environment and we can't raise taxes any further as people already pay enough taxes and we've already committed more money to the military after the Russian invasion. Politicians are in a pickle.

My immediate thought was NNTP, on which they built Usenet ... or so I thought. I checked on Wikipedia before pressing the `reply` button and discovered that Usenet started in 1980 and originally ran over something called UUCP - which was also used for early email systems?

... This is why I love Wikipedia. It teaches me new things every day.
> Which suggests that our "bunch of electrical pulses" are at least sufficient for consciousness.

I think it only suggests necessary conditions. Example: whether you are breathing is also connected to your state of consciousness, but it doesn’t follow that it’s sufficient.

not to mention the stories about people reporting seeing strange things during the Near Death Experiences, often their brain is not quite working at the time.
> since it gave birth to a mystery meat specimen whose mother was a Neanderthal and father was a Denosovian.

I fail to see the logical relationship. Denny is an exceptional specimen, but not an exceptional individual, even ignoring it there is overwhelming evidence of interbreeding between human species (not least of which is Neanderthal mitochondrial and Y chromosome DNA being entirely AMH).

Mathematical formalism are meant to be provable first.

Why should Relationship algebra have a pivot func? It doesn't. But a database engine might.

Not having used them, I'd expect the Truffle implementations of Python and Ruby to do well, seeing as Graal handles #2-5 of moonchild's list. From there #1 might fall out. (Apparently the fancy GCs for #6 are only in the Enterprise Edition though?)

I'm working on a better, parallel but still far from Java state-of-the-art GC for SBCL <https://zenodo.org/record/7816398> - which presumably is some skin in the game.

> Lisp, which seems to go to great lengths to isolate you from the details of machine organization.

Right there, along with Haskell is exactly why Lisp was never an option for me. And much like the author, I've been subjected to the darn thing multiple times since an early age (the 80's).

[EDIT]: and most notably missing from the list: The Lisp ecosystem is pretty much impossible to understand.

There are so many flavors of the darn thing none of which are interoperable with the others.

Every time I found something written in some random dialect of Lisp, there's always a missing piece to get it to run on my machines unless it's a 20 line coding exercise.

I've also never found a list that explains why "this Lisp is different from that Lisp because ..." .

Everyone in that world seems to assume their favorite patois is the best thing since sliced cheese.

Seen from the outside, it's a giant mess.

Makes it impossible to pick the right tool for the job.

As long as you disregard evidence that does not conform with your worldview, all evidence you see support whatever you believe.
In 20-30 years when Gen Z is the backbone of the working economy, what is it supposed to look like? Will there be doctors and lawyers? Specialist engineers and experts in various fields? Somebody needs to be working and learning now to have the experience and knowledge then. Not everyone in a generation can sit back and say “nope”, and those who don’t will be the new task masters/managers/CEOs. The vacuum will be filled by someone.

We had a lot of it in Maryland.

I moved to New York, about 30 years ago, and stopped seeing it.

Until a couple of years ago. A house in our neighborhood had a backyard covered in it. Not sure if it was deliberately planted.

I reported it to the DEC, and it seems to be gone, now.
The US market has very strong incentives for electric cars (and some other clean tech) at the moment, to the point that Europeans have complained it's unfair subsidy. Makes sense to use those incentives while they last.

It isn't cost cutting in the traditional sense because it is the same production line and the same employees. They're just not having to reconfigure the production line to RHD, then reconfigure it back to normal.
It seems like this should be true, but is it really? It should be easy to test, just do the finger stick when you are hungry and see what your blood sugar measures at that time.
Well, you never know it's gonna be a crash so there's never "just before crash".

But definitely "never keep all your eggs in one basket". At most a quarter of all your net worth in stocks and that only if you enjoy having heart palpitations and have mentally resigned to kissing good bye to that capital. Stocks is gambling, advising someone to "invest" is same as "go gamble your money in Vegas". Would you still put your hard earned money in it if you realized what a sham the stock market is?

Real estate, land, ca$h in the bank. Stay out of gambling. But of course the establishment will never give you the last part.

Sixels are cool. There's one thing I wish konsole would do better: if you draw a sixel image, and then zoom in/out, the image should also zoom in/out. It should scale the sixel graphics and the regular text the same way.

And the kitty protocol also supported by konsole has the exact same issue last time I tried, doesn't zoom in.
>> There’s no ulterior practical purpose here. I’m just playing. That’s what math is— wondering, playing, amusing yourself with your imagination

So that's what you do as a working mathematician, a professional mathematician.

And -let me get this right- you want society to keep paying you, so you can play with your imagination?

Uh-huh. I see. The rest of us will sweep streets, build bridges, pop and raise babies, take care of the old and inform, cook, drive, teach, make stuff... but you, we will keep feeding only so you can keep playing with your imagination.

Maybe I'm missing the point, but I think that whole idea would really go down like a led balloon with most people.

You might want to switch to just 'Ukraine' without the 'the' when referring to the country. 'The Ukraine' is an outdated way of referring to the region without conceding that is also a valid and sovereign nation. Since the invasion this term has taken on further connotations.

It's good to remember that the denisova cave is probably an extreme example of sampling bias.

No, there is an escape code that queries the window size in pixels:

"\x1b[14t"

Combined with the escape code that queries the window size in character cells ("\x1b[18t"), you can calculate the number of pixels per character cell (the "pixel size").
The latte thing is interesting to me as a Brit.

I used to drink black coffee, or coffee with a splash of milk.

I switched to drinking lattes when I realised that they have a significant amount of protein and calories in them from the higher milk content.

So I specifically use them to gain weight. It's crazy to me that you'd drink these if you weren't trying to gain weight. It's drinking 100-200 cal.
Ask HN: How does your employer spy on you and what to do about it?
So I was wondering what methods are in use to gather an employees personal data. A couple of things that came to my mind:

- Company hardware (laptops) with monitoring software on them / os preconfigured

- Local Packet sniffing when connected with the smart phone to the company’s network

- Remote Packet sniffing when connecting the company device to the local home network and also having other personal devices connected to the same network

- Packet sniffing when giving Hotspot access from personal smart phone to company device

- Employer getting data from ISP directly?

Prevention:

- Don’t connect to the same network with personal devices

- BYOD wherever possible

- VPN vs ISP

What are your thoughts?
This is completely the opposite of how hunger works for me.

I'm actually trying to gain weight and if I have a protein shake in the morning I could easily just neglect eating a real breakfast for hours.
There are only 24^3 possible combinations of 3-letter file extensions, 34^3 if we start mixing in numbers. And they potentially will need to be constantly available for decades to come... We should probably use more sparingly to prevent a repeat of the IPv4 situation.

Just for clarity I'm not advocating for letting kids having sex with each other. I'm saying that it's normal for kids have crushes and feel attracted by other kids, feeling "butterflies" in their stomach when the girl or boy they have a crush notices then or whatever. That's perfectly normal and is part of what it means to grow up. It is fueled by hormones and that's all natural.

A hypersexualized society is one that short-circuits all this development and make it happen too fast and that's not good. A hyper-prude society is one that actively suppresses that and makes kids feel bad about what they feel and that can't be good either

I'm weirded out when I realize that I've run into someone where this needs to be explained.* The amount of ostensible "engineering" folks who are evidently afflicted with time-cost blindness or can't seem to grapple with the ideas behind basic comparative analyses of reward versus investment is staggeringly high.

* and, of course, this compounds the problem, because the explanation takes time, too...
To add to that, I believe the title of this submission is a reference ("Open-Lamam: A “real” open-source project to train LLM not just checkpoints") to this project you link, since they did not (to my knowledge), release the code for the training or detailed instructions to reproduce their experiment precisely, only checkpoints.
There is a reasonable difference between anywhere and everywhere. Setting up shop in every state can be a big legal pain, especially if you don't expect many employees there or the particular state has more difficult rules to comply with. Doing so is in no way a requirement for what they are talking about, which is not hiring for having people come in to the office.

On the flipside I've been able to convince companies to add a state before. I imagine it gets more difficult the larger the company is though, otherwise someone would have already added your state by that point.
I’d take that downside over having to mix languages on each platform. UI toolkit Rust bindings for all the platforms I want to target would let me just write Rust instead of also having to write Swift, Java, JavaScript, etc.
The brand was well known prior to let's encrypt. They also offer flexibility that is less risky, e.g on longer duration certificates.

There is also strong assurance it works across old browsers, old computers and across the world.

Additionally you can do multi domain validation and wildcards too. There is also Extended Validation where they actually check your business exists, etc and no cases of it being faked, etc.

There is also a perceived higher standard in the quality of assurance offered as it is a for profit enterprise and if there was a breach for example it would hurt far worse than say for Lets Encrypt.
CL is used in pretty serious contexts (read: avionics) with little changes over time. JS has the weekly framework syndrome.
This makes sense. Model S and X qualify for good incentives in the US right now, which means there is higher demand to fulfill. Doesn't make sense to reconfigure the production line.

Tesla is moving extremely fast to maximize their use of Build Back Better credits. Even though this plan was pushed by GM and Ford (and opposed by Tesla, and as far as I know Tesla was not even invited to the discussions), Tesla will end up being the biggest beneficiary because of how fast and nimbly they're moving.
Yes. It does get good compression ratio though as different versions are similar (although i dont know if wikipedia still does recompression). Storage by itself is not a particularly expensive part of the app.

I wish the author could explain why he chooses to disclose that he is a _Bramhin_.

So we should imagine in its place the word reversed, maybe, as a better translation.
For what it's worth, I've used a HP 200LX to confirm that some undocumented details (found by disassembling microcode) work as expected:

REP BOUND only compares against lower bound
REP MUL result in AH (byte) or SP (word)
REP IMUL result in CH (byte) or BP (word)
REP IMUL reg,r/m,i16 first operand ignored, 32 bit result in DX:AX
REP IMUL reg,r/m,i8 first op ign., AH=result bit 23..16, AL=bit 7..0
AAM 00H no "divide by zero" exception, AH=FFh, AL unchanged

So it's certainly based on the 80186 microcode, as none of these instructions do the same on any other x86 chip.

I think you will need to use some NLP/ML technique for adversarial identification. In a marketing sort of way, that is gonna be AI and may or may not be LLM. It would also not be a single solution that works for every kind of attack, because it's unstructured and often without syntax. (unlike the SQL injection parallel that is always cited).

Ideally, any security check must happen before it comes in contact with the business logic part of any architecture. Here, based on your and other comments, and reading online, I think a failsafe might need to be built on the interacting apps end (like Gmail building some sort of an extra layer of security to prevent attacks). Would be tedious to implement I agree.
Is this some anti-working-from-home-propaganda?
Firstly, this is a very very difficult topic. Some ancients books have tried to communicate the same ideas I am trying to convey here, but have been less than succesful. There appears to be deep psychological reasons why these things are difficult to grasp. So I hope you will forgive me if I cannot fully convince you about my experiences.

Actually, I am not trying to prove anything to you (or others) or say how people should think about consciousness. I am just sharing my experiences and what I have found based on them, so others can try out and see for themselves, so perhaps we could learn together more about these.

Neuroscientist Rodolfo Llinas did an interesting experiment on himself, and explained it in an interview on Science Network about his book "I of the vortex". He was able to consistently turn his foot inwards by placing a strong magnet at certain position on his head. Then he decided he would move his foot outwards when the magnet was applied on the same spot. When he did this, his foot still moved inwards. His experience was that "I changed my mind". He was able to repeat this experiment many times, and each time he felt he had changed his mind. So he could not distinguish between really changing his mind and his body doing something and his mind making up a post-hoc rationalization for his body doing it.

This story, as well as my experience of trying to understand my consciousness experimentally has led me to become very suspicious about my own memory and thoughts about my conscious experiences. And consequentially, about other people's thoughts and memory about their conscious experiences as well.

So my question to you is, how would you know that 100% of the times you have had a similar experience, you were 100% of the time 100% focused in deeply thinking about something?

From personal experience introducing pnpm into a big JavaScript project my very subjective(!) view of the situation:

pnpm offers fast installs and the best dependency management capabilities I have seen.

However, there is a steep learning-curve attached to the latter. You cannot just task a random developer with fixing emerging problems or else you will be left with half-a-dozen large and unintelligible config files and hacks.

If you are the type of team that never updates dependencies, it is not worth the effort. If you are the type of team that applies the heuristic of "yes" to the question "Should I download a dependency?", it is not worth the effort.

On the other hand, if you value build tool performance, if you are updating frequently and if your dependencies are carefully curated, pnpm is great and with Node >16 it is just a...
