Computer System Used to Hunt Fugitives Is Still Down 10 Weeks After Hack
The US Government would clearly engage in economic warfare, at the very least, with China if they were to invade Taiwan. Likely access to cutting edge chips would go with it... assuming China is occupying Taiwan.

Yes, this would lower QoL pretty significantly for both countries.
The IRS has no incentive to make sure you get all the deductions you're allowed. They don't have incentives to make sure the software works well under load and at scale. Whatever they put out will likely be half-baked, and the software will degrade rapidly because the tax laws change each year.

I suspect, that given the currently complexity of the tax system itself (rather than the filing, which seems to be pretty straight forward), the private based system saves the tax payers money each year over any system the government could create.
If you're curious why, it's because of the California itemized deduction phase-out, line 29 in the instructions below [1].

CalFile only cares about handling "simple" items. Other notable exclusions [2] are capital gains, health savings accounts, Schedule C, Schedule E, and Roth IRA conversions and distributions.

You are mistaken. Plex is really just a dedicated web server with a bunch of annoying feature creep.
This drives me nuts and happens all the time as well. To be honest, I unplugged my google home device a while back and haven't missed it. It mostly ended up being a clock for me because I'd try to change the color of my lights to a color that it mustn't have been capable of because I'd have to sit there for minutes listening to it list stores in the area that might sell those colored lights or something. It wouldn't stop. This is just one of many frustrating experiences I'd had with that thing.

How many essays are written and graded every year? Even with a 0.0001% FPR, how many students would be facing the severe punishments for plagiarism like auto-failing a course or even expulsion? Ironically enough, using AI to make such decisions seems like one of those unethical use cases.

Hasn't this been the source of some quality issues, due to variance between panels?

This reminds me of an English term that, to me as an ELL, sticks out like a sore thumb every time I see it: Landfill. It almost sounds like we're doing something admirable by filling the land where there's an emptiness rather than saying what it really is, a place where we dump our garbage waiting for it to decompose, creating a hostile environment for everyone and everything around.
Does the IRS actually know what everyone owes? I know it's true for W-2 employees, but what about everyone else?

I've always had this feeling that you could ask the IRS what they believe any given SSN/EIN owes and they'd be able to tell you (not that they would, but that it's already calculated somewhere). I don't know if this actually true though. I know almost all W-2 information is sent electronically. They know about most 1099 transactions too. But is all this information pre-compiled against someone's SSN, or do they only run that calculation as part of random audits?
Why would you buy a watch from them anyway? It's really lame business practise, but hardly surprising from a "luxury" brand. The good news is that there aren't proprietary electrons yet so if you can get something that fits and gives the right voltage you should be fine.
Interesting point.

I think you would need a significant penalty aside from being unable to be a decision maker though. Perhaps the individual financial penalties you mentioned, if high enough, would accomplish this.

Otherwise some one found guilty of this could be replaced easily with another willing soul, be moved to another role in the company and paid a handsome salary as a reward, and or consult for others on how to commit fraud or run the company.
Having more cultural options than the average person can utilize in a “medium town” is a bit hyperbolic. Maybe your “average person” fits in with that, but your argument seems to be that it’s no loss at all which is very untrue.
What's interesting about this branch in the discussion is that assassinating anyone and firebombing anything are illegal criminal acts. The underlying reason should not matter to anyone. We already have laws to deal with this.

The problem surfaces when one ideological faction is in power and chooses not to apply the laws --or be lenient-- to people who happen to be on their side of ideological spectrum.

That's what drives a society into what is sometimes referred to as "banana republic" territory. Tolerating this behavior does not result in regulating society towards good outcomes. It's a feedback loop that gets more and more extreme with time. This is not how you build a society where people with different ideas can coexist in peace.

The abortion debate is tough, and agreement --or a middle ground-- may never be reached. However, criminal behavior from any faction in the spectrum of ideas on this topic should not be tolerated at all. It should be punished to the full extent of current law, regardless of who is in power and who might be committing the criminal acts. And, more importantly, those in power --and the media-- must publicly and clearly characterize all criminal acts for what they are.
Here is a sharp take in the types vs tests debate

Lilygo has a bunch of ESP32-based devices with a built in OLED or eInk display. They're generaly easy to find on Amazon.
The market for everything other than the cutting edge is absolutely massive. 3nm is shiny and all, but it's not what most of the world runs on.

It definitely would be nice if there were more options at the cutting edge, but it's like that for good reasons and it's not likely to change.
The link to KS is in the video description (and I think HN is spam filtering direct KS links).

More power to you in specifying your processes. A potential issue here is that your bosses and other stakeholders aren't part of the specification meta-process. Can you talk TLA+ with your boss? What about your boss's boss? Do they even care?

A bad specification is worse than no specification; this was one of the lessons of OOP-mania (a rigid ontology works great, until it doesn't, and then it's a disaster). An ostensibly correct "specification" inferred by a lone engineer could become Wrong tomorrow after stakeholder input.

That's why I would recommend against these sort of correctness-oriented paradigms unless there is widespread buy-in and understanding from your stakeholders, company culture, etc.

Of course there is merit to using tools like TLA+ to model distributed systems and assist development, but that shouldn't be conflated with having a well-defined specification from the get-go.
I guess we prioritize different things. I get annoyed with local intelligent autocompleters for being variable in both what they find and when they find it. I can’t imagine adding a network connection to that equation will improve anything.

I use keyword completion. It always works, it’s never “wrong” or misconfigured, and it’s easy to predict what it does. Just my 20 m$.
I've experimented myself and it's been vaguely helpful to create some stubs and to provide some boilerplate a bit faster than I could have generated myself. But I can't say I've found it genuinely useful for anything I want to be even workmanlike product on the other end.
> it's just Youtube videos

No it's not. Khan A. has a huge structure associated with it. There's tracts. It's constantly growing and improving. There's assisting other students. Maybe it's not as intimate as a class that's paid for. And, I can't help but respond angrily, you've denigrated quite a stunning institution. Maybe sign up at Khan in a new subject and see how much of it isn't just videos. Sheesh, man, the nerve.
This is practically becoming a new dialect.
Indeed. The people who actually believe this are probably trying to figure out how to stage a false flag attack on China to give them a pretext to invade Taiwan.

In my experience on social media, this sort of thinking is typically classified as "both sidesing" (or an assertion of "false equivalence", etc etc etc), and is considered to be highly inappropriate.

And the people that say these things are often otherwise clearly intelligent, it is less common on HN perhaps, but certainly not uncommon.
I seriously do count my blessings that there's no racism against red-heads where and when I live. I know there was in medieval times. I can easily imagine such nonsense still existing.
Another vote for freetaxusa.com. The only complexity for my Federal returns is accounting for both refunds and taxes due to filing state returns in two states (as well as some 1099 income), but they handle those exceptions well.

For years I kept a Windows VM around just to run whatever the cheapest tax return software was for that particular year.

Someone getting deported 6 times probably doesn't go through those easy points you mentioned. I imagine if youve been physically deported by the government, if they find you again at a point like that, you get sent back?
Yet if someone can come back in 6 times, I have to assume even the harder routes aren't THAT hard.

> Siri is completely unusable with an accuracy of less than 10%.

That seems unusual. I've been using both for the last few weeks while replacing my Homebridge setup, and Siri has been as accurate as Alexa — good enough that I've decided that I can now leave the Alexa ecosystem. To be more specific, both are (conservatively) 95%+ accurate for my home control scenarios.

I suppose I am hoping for something akin to the "wisdom of the crowd" [0]

It would be interesting to have varying personas debate, but then we have to agree on which one is correct (or have a group of 'uncensored' models decide which one they see as more accurate), which sort of brings us right back to where we started.

I use both, often I'll use nvim if I'm already in a terminal and want to edit a file quickly. Having two editors, emacs and neovim, which have essentially the same keybindings is very nice since it let's me be more dynamic.
> This is still punishment, even if you believe it's for their own good that "actions do have consequences"

"Actions have consequences" as a statement isn't really up for much debate, it's more of a observation on how the universe works. If we fall far enough, we hurt outselves.

Gravity isn't punishing us when we fall, even if it may feel like that at times - the scars on my right arm from a cycling accident last year are still visible.
This year TurboTax apparently made a mistake. The tax calculation showed I owed tax and I submitted payment for the reported amount. IRS sent me back a check later for overpayment based on the reported tax filling by TurboTax. They didn't explain where the error was; it's just that TurboTax made a bad calculation somewhere.

It also, at least in my case, frequently won't stop playing when you tell it to. And, if you want a song that has a title that isn't family friendly, it'll completely ignore that title and just play whatever the heck it wants.

nullptr has been such a Godsend for C++. Good to see it coming to C.

If you ever see the macro NULL in code, be afraid. There are two valid ways of defining the macro and that cause weird issues when porting code. For example, in the statement printf ("%p %s\n", NULL, "Hello world!"), one of the definitions leads to NULL being interpreted as the null pointer, and the other leads to NULL being interpreted as an integer. The latter may crash if integer and pointer are different sizes.

It also causes problems with C++ overloading if one overload takes a pointer and another takes an integer.
ahah I am not asking for permission. I want to see if there is someone else who went through the same thing.

It's a $10k limit on deductions so dependents, charitable contributions, mortgage interest, and probably some more stuff has to stay under that cap or it doesn't count. Since that change went in we've never been able to even match the standard deduction. It increased our tax bill by about 2% and my wife has still never forgiven Trump. I think we are directly in the middle of "squeeze the middle class" part of that tax change.
> What I don't understand about these programs is the added income clause.

Lobbying by the "big tax preparers". Higher income individuals are more likely to have more complex returns and/or be more willing to part with $149.99 to TurboTax to do their taxes. TurboTax (and others like them) don't want to miss out on that gravy train by letting the IRS let those folks file for free.
In Portugal, every transaction should, by law, be sent to the tax authority. Every employer should also report what paid to their employees and also retain in source part of the income

Everything is then setup centraly by tax authority which enables the process of submiting tax reports being automatic for most or either, if you have a more complex tax situation, taking you a couple hours tops to self-fill and submit.

When this tech was invented it was less relevant than it is now. For the following reasons:

- It required special expensive terminals, the VT330 (mono) or VT340. Those were not ubiquitous, the VT320 was the bread and butter type. Later VTx20 models also didn't gain support for it (usually the lower range models got premium features from the previous ranges like multiple connections / pages but this one didn't 'trickle down'). So there wasn't so much incentive for developers to support it as the installed base was very low.

- It required a long time to send all the information, because terminals were still on slow serial connections. The VT320 could only do up to 19200 bps which was not even super fast for text at 80x25! Sixel images would take ages to transfer. Even though we had different expectations of response speeds then, sixels were slow by the standard of the day.

- Colour highlighting (or even monochrome "bold"/ultrabright) was not even common in most commandline tools back then, even LS. Hell, on HP-UX in the 90s I couldn't even use the cursor keys in the default shell for command history and line editing! Mod cons we take for granted now were yet to be invented then.

- Thumbnail processing as the parent suggests would take a lot of space and processing speed. My quota at college was a few megabytes. In fact I hardly had any images. I think I had just one, a nice Enterprise-D render that I used as wallpaper. It's not like we had thousands of images to sift through like we do today. Of course the web changed that rapidly but at that time text terminals were already on the way out.

Some apps used it for stuff that was worth the wait. Like the print preview in word perfect. But many apps didn't bother because the above constraints just made them infeasible. Sixels only really took off after their original terminals were long gone. And really in this day and age we should be able to come up with something better.

this entire line of reasoning (using AI to detect AI, with disastrous results) is ripe for a giant lawsuit. a sufficiently wealthy school is bound to accuse a sufficiently wealthy student at some point.
The weird thing is the IRS already knows my taxes better than I do… a few times I’ve made mistakes inputting forms or forgot to put something in, and I will always get a letter from them about it. They’ve already done my taxes so they should just send me a bill and not waste my time, possibly with the option to submit extra details they are missing like deductions… but that should be an option for people that need it. There is no reason for a w2 wage earner taking the standard deduction to need to file taxes.
In the UK you don't have to file at if your income is under £100,000 (assuming you are employed by a company that does PAYE (pay as you earn) - i.e. tax is deducted automatically from your payslip - and you don't have any other sources of income which is probably 99% of people) - after 100k you have to file electronically (although someone can do this on your behalf - I don't think postal filing is possible any more).

For what it is worth, the UK online filing is actually pretty good these days. Modern UI, and the process is tailored via a few "wizard" type questions initially so you are only shown the bits you need to fill. It can get a bit confusing at times though just due to the tax laws themselves and the terminology etc, but the system for filing itself is pretty good.

Thanks to onyone on here (and I bet you are on here!) who is working on the gov.uk stuff - it is generally pretty good.

Your comment reads to me (someone in the field) like it is informed just by reading popular articles on the topic since 2022. The "Google memo" should basically have no impact on how you are thinking about these things, imo.

The field is taking massive steps backward in just the last year when it comes to open science.

Because they are no longer releasing any details! Not because there hasn't been any progress in the last year.

When it streams too slowly it is also quite annoying, but when it is the right speed I really enjoy it.

It can also be annoying when I made request a small change and it rewrites the entire block of code compared to only displaying the section I want. I think I could prompt it better in those cases by saying "only show me the code changes" though.
I don't 100% disagree with the sentiment, but I think in this case the push-in style transitions fit well with a knowledge base wiki in which you (or at least, I) often drill down and pop out of topics.

Though... that particular implementation seems to not handle unwinding the stack very well. And as the classic web2 adage goes, if you think your animation is "just right", knock another 3rd off it at least.
