Shopify layoffs: Company faces class action over severance offers
Correct. Social systems are far much more complex than technical problems. So nany technology optimists make the mistake of confusing a social problem as a technical problem, and think solving one means solving another. Wrong!
email is a simple textual protocol. FastMail is not offering an alternative to that, but an "alternative to proprietary email APIs that only work with Gmail".

Well, I don't use GMail (and neither should you! All your email is mined for advertising and shared occasionally with the US government.) - so it's not clear to me why I need an alternative to that stuff.
I don't know exactly why, but for some reason this made me think of qAnon, and now I'm thinking of an AI trained on qAnon theories that people can form a community around like they did qAnon, and frankly that's one of the most terrifying things I've thought in quite a while.
How does it qualify experts? I love the discussion here but if it turns to international nuclear strategy or the minutae of electrical networks (or presumably anything outside the regular wheelhouse) I notice that the quality goes down but the confidence stays the same.
Does anyone other than Fastmail use it?

Sure, but it's overkill. You'll have to turn it on anyway if you're selected.
We aren't actually disagreeing here, but you're addressing aspects other than what I was talking about.

> Sure, it can be fun at first, but learning a million unique UIs that all look and behave differently is exhausting as a user.

Absolutely. I wasn't calling for anything like that.

Uniformity in behavior is highly desirable. Uniformity in the general location of controls and general workflow is also highly desirable. Also highly desirable (but not in fashion anymore, so isn't really done) is the ability to easily tell how to accomplish things.

But you can have that without being visually bland and without looking essentially indistinguishable from everything else.

> Also worth pointing out that a "bland" UI of today (let's say macOS or iOS since they are so pervasive) would be stunningly, mind-blowingly beautiful to a user 30 years ago.

I'm old enough to remember being a user 30 years ago, and you do have a point. But the most beautiful painting in the world looks a lot less beautiful when every other painting looks just like it.

Also, I would argue that the "beautiful" days of UI design are over. What is in fashion now wouldn't really have been considered mind-blowingly beautiful 30 years ago. Technically impressive, sure, but aesthetically neutral at best.

> we've just gotten spoiled by beautiful UIs

Not spoiled. Habituated. It's the way people are. If you eat nothing but your favorite food every day, you will eventually reach a point where you dislike it.

Variety is an important design goal, too. You can have variety without sacrificing beauty or consistency. You jsut have to break out of using UI frameworks or slavishly following guidelines like "Material Design", or whatever the flavor of the day is.

Regardless, I'll take the UIs of 30 years ago over those of today even though they were uglier. They were also more powerful and generally easier to use.
Not sure about Sweden, but in the Netherlands it's very normal to use the full 5 weeks. I think Sweden is the same.
"Broader perspective" is probably not the right word. It's distinctly two extremely narrow perspectives.

Broader perspectives requires lower temperature, and moderation, but I don't mean the kind that mass shadowbans accounts on social media. I mean the kind where intelligent people come together based on shared interests and have a conference, a club, form a discussion group and so on. And they have the ability to protect their whisper from the noise of millions screaming trolls outside. Twitter isn't built for this. It never was, but now it's even less built for it.

Twitter is currently seemingly 90% hot takes and hustling marketers doing those cringe "AI is crushing your industry, see 20 reasons why" type of threads.
You mean authorities can't just invalidate our Fourth Amendment rights because they feel like it? Who'd have imagined?
There has been one news article that has gained enough traction to get widespread notice. That’s not even remotely the same as “one recorded instance.”

The order, already posted on this thread, lists multiple instances where generative AI would be useful in the law, but also a number of issues that I haven’t seen discussed before.
Just install Apache Spark they said. It will be fun they said.

I always find it curious how people often have such a different experience with the same system. For my part, I've found Fastmail's spam filtering to be much better than GMail's, especially when it comes to those false positives: I would see ham in my GMail spam folder at least a couple times a week. I've mostly stopped perusing my Fastmail spam folder, as I still have yet to find any false positives there.

On the other end of things, GMail and Fastmail both miss about the same amount of spam that ends up in my inbox. Not a lot, maybe once or twice a week.

I wonder what it is about the emails you receive (vs. the emails I receive) that makes us see such different outcomes.

Let's not pretend most white collar work is deeply creative or extremely logically rigorous. Sure the top 1-10% of the field will still be doing deeply unique work that requires a lot of human input, but there's a ton of (code|graphic|marketing|etc.)monkey work out there that is what most white collars professionals do. If you're one of these professionals, you'll most likely be forced to adapt to these new tools under the implicit understanding that those who don't will soon be far less valuable and as such get replaced by those who do (adapt).

Here's what you do in all of these situations with big companies where you get mysteriously banned and can't get any recourse from customer service: find a mailing address for their legal department and send them a letter return receipt requested (or whatever the equivalent is for where you are in which you get a receipt from the postal service confirming that the letter was delivered).

In this letter, you politely but directly lay out the facts, indicate that you are not in violation of their terms of service or any other legal document, and tell them that you would like the money you are owed, as well as to have your account reinstated. Inform them (again, politely but clearly) that if you they do not at a minimum send you the money you are owed, that you will pursue appropriate legal action. You don't need to specify what legal action - just appropriate legal action.

Since it's 150 Euros, unless you've really done something wrong that would lead them to get in trouble if they pay it out, they'll almost certainly just pay it out.

There have been a few examples of this on HN (none of which I can currently find, unfortunately) - person sends appropriately written letter to legal, legal understands that this is not worth the time and the best resolution for the company is to comply, company complies.

Good luck!
> it’ll just turn into the disaster that is react server components: feature development driven by corporate interests (eg vercel)

if you've followed along with the react team's discussions on server components, it is very clear that vercel implemented the react team's vision and less so the other way around.

as someone who has been using them extensively, I understand why. they're delightful.

vercel does control next.js which is the only framework to completely implement RSC, but as other frameworks catch up, RSC will have a wider surface area.
Why do people make Hacker News submissions with zero upvotes?
It runs normally without a head attached, so they must not be doing this yet. The architecture authenticates the body to the brush, which is the reverse of what you would do to lock out brushes. (A third party brush can get the password from the body and say "yup, that's definitely the password" and then the body thinks it's genuine. Meanwhile, a third-party body could use genuine brushes because a brush can't mechanically make itself not work. So there just isn't any lock-in here.)

The main feature this seems to be used for is to put the body into "whitening" mode if you use a whitening brush.
I am inherently passionate about the things I do. That doesn't mean doing over time. It means that when we're in a planning meeting I am contributing and trying to get the best outcome. When I write code, I clarify requirements and I write the code to a high standard following recommended practices. I do static analysis on the code and fix it. I test it before it goes to QA.

Not for a promotion but because that is why I am there. Anything less would be mind numbingly boring.
I am not sure about passionate but being a 10x developer is definitely true. And it's not even that hard. A few techniques and a few mental shifts can get you there.
Go to Wise.com and input the currencies in the transfer box.

Reiterating what I wrote in another comment, since you seem to be viewing this solely from your own experience:

> A lot of people have a limited set of experiences, such as sending wires or Wise payments to/from a specific country, and it works well for them, without realizing there is an entire world of other scenarios outside of this scope where it is not as well suited.

And Cash App is just an example; people are happy to send money with it, despite the lack of dispute and reversibility. Many people have friends and family across the world now and would probably be fine sending money to them without strict, slow, and costly AML checks on every transaction.
what is this "as documented" of which you speak? /s

toothbrushes come with documentation???
Why is this kind of thing legal?

For starters, my experience says that, unlike an HP printer, your toothbrush still works just fine[0] if you ignore anything that tells you to replace the head.

Driving is another place where people wrongfully think that solving the technical problem means the problem has been solved. Driving is a social problem. We are a long long way from solving it.
That is reasonable and solid life advice, but seeing it in a sentence with a phrase I don’t know like “freedom auditors” still leaves me confused as to the meaning of the latter, and that’s where my mind went first until I saw the parent’s follow up.

Like I said, the best I’ve found is some information on a movement of “First Amendment auditors” but a literal reading of what they’re about has them testing First Amendment jurisprudence which isn’t exactly stress-testing your Fourth Amendment rights in an reentry line at the border, hence the request for clarification.

Don't you mean "your?"
I've always felt that this word is missused in modern HR.

To me, passion at work might be something like making out in the broom closet with a (willing) coworker 8-)

Passion is an inherently emotinal state, not always the best basis for clearly thought out action.

The idea that this is all a management ploy to get more work for the same money is already well represented here, so I won't dive into that, but that is also a significant part of why I don't like this concept in HR recruiting.
I think you read something wrong.

Few people remember it, but before plastic packaging there was cellophane. A cellulose based wrap, essentially transparent paper, biodegradable. Early versions weren't moisture proof, but this was fixed later.

I'm sure there are nowadays other, more modern, biodegradable alternatives to plastic packaging. Though apparently they are not as cheap as plastic.

Yeah, unless they happen to be in the Rust community, or be Rust users or selling services related to Rust, etc. etc.
I agree. In my opinion, it's another manifestation of individualism promoted by the capitalist system in the US - in urban design, in this case. Another commenter pointed out how they only see their neighbour when they both walk to or from their car at the same time. It sounds sad to me, but some might prefer it that way.
You would love my next door neighbors. They moved in the same week we did 2 years ago. We saw them when they first drove up and enters their garage (middle age couple). Since then, nobody has ever seen them. They never have lights on in their house at night. They never answer their door. They never open their garage and drive away. They never have packages or anything else delivered. They only way we know they are still alive is their trash bins go out and are taken back in every week (though nobody has ever seen them do it) and in the winter you can see the white smoke/condensation from their utility vents.
I would move to the USA if I could. As a European is that possible - e.g. don't you need a green card?

> It's not "censorship" for the public to control what content is given a platform in taxpayer funded libraries, any more than it's "censorship" for Apple to decide what products are given shelf space in its stores.

Wait, but both of those are censorship of a form; Apple is just allowed to censor whatever it wants.

Taken to the extreme, should a library be allowed to stock only books that promote the political party of whoever won the latest election?

Obviously decisions for shelf space have to be made. If those decisions for shelf space are made solely by the government's dislike of the material, though, that feels pretty obviously like government censorship to me.
You're welcome to suggest better warning text. I was just trying to illustrate the concept.

Find a lawyer who seems appropriate and has a "initial call for judging if even appropriate to hire" free offer, or maybe the WBS Discord I heard, which seems like a German version of reddit's legal advice subreddit.

> where everyone on the block put out bags of candy for neighborhood kids to go house to house and pick up.

Is this usual in the region, or perhaps did I misunderstand you? Don't the kids usually walk up to the doors and ring, and then you personally hand out candy to them?
I think it goes a bit beyond that... I mean, I think the nutrition related to fat soluble vitamins heavily correlates to the quality/types of fats taken in. There's a lot more nutrition in animal sources of fatty acids than in typical seed oils and the distribution model is very different as well. Since these are used for cellular and hormone generation, I think the "low fat" craze and anti saturated fat and anti dietary cholesterol combined with a general religious approach to veganism has lead to some generational declines.

I'm of a pretty firm belief that the typical healthy person should probably be getting around 40% of their nutrition from animal sources, and not in particular be afraid of natural fats nearly as much as refined foods in general.

It only took a couple generations of domesticated cats to show the decline from dietary changes, I think it's just taken a bit longer for industrial "food" to start showing the extent of issues in the general western populations. Supplementation helps, but the supplements need to be the actual variations the body absorbs, not precursors that are typically used.

In the end, I think the base causes of ED and sexual dysfunction is largely simply the same as mental health in general with age, along with metabolic and cardiovascular issues generally speaking. Too much refined sugar, fructose and low quality protein and fats across generations.

Pay Pal did this to me as well. There’s very little consumer protection law in US to disused these companies from just freezing your account and taking your money. The worst part is that these companies usually avoid giving any proper recourse by automating most of this process so good luck finding a person that is willing to help you out.

Humans could already be on a path to go extinct in a variety of ways: climate change, wars, pandemics, polluting the environment with chemicals that are both toxic and pervasive, soil depletion, monoculture crop fragility...

Everyone talks about the probability of AI leading to human extinction, but what is the probability that AI is able to help us avert human extinction?

Why does everyone in these discussions assume p(ai-caused-doom) > p(human-caused-doom)?
When the turbine gets old they crush up the blades and put it in concrete for roads and bridges. They also make them into plastic pellets which get put into alloyed things like manhole covers, so you are wrong. Not sure why the downvotes and aggression.
This has been the plaguing my thoughts recently as well. When I analyze (or attempt to analyze) what’s going on in the black box of gray matter in my head, I’m increasingly aware that it’s nothing magical. I’ve stated to others that the real shakeup the latest AI successes may cause won’t be that we’ve created an artificial mind, but that our own minds may be nothing more than a collection of neural subsystems. Subsystems process our vision and pass it on. They process our hearing and pass it on. They process our senses of proprioception and pass it on. Then our cortex processes all these inputs and produces outputs, which may be speech, physical reactions, or just thoughts that loop back in as another input to the cortex. Maybe our consciousness is just a supervisory neural network that monitors what the cortex is doing and feeds in adjustments. But instead of prompt/response, it’s always running, feeding back on itself, trying to predict what’s going to happen next and adjusting its models based on what we observe. It explains a little too much and I start wondering if there really is a “me” that can be described as a conscious personality and I get a little creeped out.
One consolation is that we’ve always equated some new technologies with “maybe that’s the way the mind works.” The mind is like a book. The mind is like a machine. The mind is like a calculating device. The mind is like a computer. And now we’ve reached: The mind is like a super LLM with assorted subsystems. The difference is, this time, we may be right since, for really the first time, we’ve started simulating it from the bottom up.

Maybe our personality and being is just a result of our training data with a few genetic quirks thrown in. And what am I really doing when I “decide” or “create” something? Is it that much different from a LLM’s generation of language? Or an AI image generator?
