Hardly surprising. Governments fear what they cannot control, therefore one should assume that every communication platform is being actively monitored and infiltrated, no matter what the laws say. The fight against encryption is their means of telling us that it's becoming too costly for them and we should stop getting in the way.
The article says that the wage penalty applies to people with "strong regional accents," and that Southern is the fourth most likely accent for job seekers to try to suppress, with New Jersey being #1. Framing this as specifically Southern inverts the actual finding, and is just culture war chum.
Yeah but on the emulator it's negligible when I already get 4k 120 FPS+ as I mentioned. You might get a slight boost if you have a low spec machine but I just tested this on an older AMD laptop and the difference is a few FPS between portable and docked modes in either emulator.
Assuming this is GlasgowGPT (based on the timing of that bot taking off on /r/glasgow and this post, and your username), a challenge you'd likely have with advertising is that the content from the bot is, whilst funny, not very SFW.

One option to get the costs down would be to use a local LLM. It isn't likely to be as fast/good as GPT-3.5 but at least would give you a fixed cost per month (hosting).

If you had local hardware, given that traffic is going to be pretty low, if you have decent bandwidth at home and some hardware, you could even host there.

This was the rationale behind total war, and the bombing campaign in ww2. It's started as rationalisations about military infrastructure and simply became a belief it affected morale. And, "drunk man looking for keys under lamppost" since precision bombing wasn't possible, area bombing was post-hoc rationalised as "better"

When the allies did target critical supply chains like ballbearings and oil, it had real economic consequence. Postwar bombing survey write-ups are fascinating. "From Apes to warlords" by Solly Zuckerman is well worth reading.

Len Deighton has argued German military directed economic production actually continued to rise until very late in the war, bombing notwithstanding. And "Britain can take it" campaigns attempted to maintain the domestic temperament and arguably undermine a belief the bombing campaign against Germany would work: there is no uniquely British "stiff upper lip" and bombed out German workers (and slave workers) continued production under the rubble. Dispersed factories were common both sides.

Nobody is going to take the effort to actually remove support from released versions of GTK. You're just being silly.

Will GTK 5 not support X? Possibly! I don't really care though. I pretty much just use 2 as it is when I have to use GTK. But GTK and QT still support DirectFB, which is almost 2 decades old at this point. X isn't going away.
Well. Hyperlinks are part of the spec though, and if you modify them and expect clients to know how to deal with that, you’ll need to modify the specification, and that implies you need to define how those changes affect caching, Proxies, and the security model.

I recently worked with a guy from the south who had a wicked accent. I could understand him because I spent time in the military and one gets used to all kinds of accents, but no one else could understand him.

They aren’t in any way similar because it’s not used against citizens, which is strictly what China’s concentration camps are for.

The military has claimed they could keep a citizen there indefinitely, but they haven’t yet and if they did it would get challenged in court pretty quickly.

Ask HN: How to be better at problem solving
Sometimes I feel like my approach to solving a problem while programming is not much better than a “guess and check” method where I write some code, see if that part works, and then continue on. Most of the time I feel like I am playing chess where I am only able to think about my current move and maybe the next one or two beyond that, which can lead to frustration when I see that I have made a mistake or an error in design choice that needs to be fixed. This is especially made evident to me in stressful situations like interviews where I feel like my critical thinking abilities take a big hit and I’m left making silly mistakes or overlooking something until later in the interview.

As a child, there was a lot of pressure placed on me to excel in subjects that did not come easily to me such as math and I often wonder if my brain has been conditioned to try to shut down when I encounter problems that I’m unsure how to solve at first glance as some kind of a protection mechanism, despite the fact that in general I am someone who gets great satisfaction out of solving difficult problems or figuring something out.

It seems like some people have an innate ability to see more steps ahead than I usually do, and therefore can move faster and spend less time guessing and checking their work. I think that by improving my general problem solving ability and being more deliberate about how I choose to go about solving things that this will improve with time, so I am wondering if anyone has helpful tactics outside of just programming more that may help me out here.
It can be a Bayes rule thing where they're statistically less likely to participate in white collar work, but it could also be biases in companies who believe a candidate is less educated if they have a strong regional accent.

Yeah sounds expensive to do right. Do you think it would cost more or less than regulations that ended up raising electricity prices by 10%? Hint: it'd be much cheaper.

> Community can step us locally in many ways, but not as state-wide solution.

Actually it can. Coping without power for a few days is 100% something that a local community can do. There isn't a need for state-wide coordination although that'd probably help.

I mean, end of the day you're worried about a couple of hundred lives once a decade (and, for scale, hundreds of thousands of people die in Texas each year already - probably quite a few of which could be saved if power was cheaper!). The regulation is obviously not worth it, there are cheaper ways to look after cold people.
I hear you on your analogies, but memory and intelligence are tightly coupled, which makes yours a bad one in this context. There is no need for a generalization ("people on the internet" have a hard time communicating precisely, right?).

If you used your second one, I'd make it clear that I still disagree with the analogy: yes, someone great at something can be aware of limits others face in comparison. Humans do learn without direct experience too!

You similarly continue with making a bad analogy about getting "schooled on ... arm circumference": other than side remarks that you quoted, I do not "school you on IQ" (which would be analogous), but rather on the "memory", which was the original article topic.
> Which is probably part of why 30% of people who get their blood pressure taken in a doctor's office will register a higher than normal blood pressure principally only in the doctor's office. This is called 'white-coat hypertension' and doctors and researchers are pretty split on whether or not this represents an actual problem. With that in mind, it makes this a pretty worthless test in the context of an annual physical.

My favorite conspiracy theory is that this is why we always have to wait so long after we're in the exam room but before the nurse comes in to take BP. My BP monitor's instructions say to sit calmly for 15 minutes for an accurate reading and I think that's what they're doing.

Meanwhile, since the kids are so hyper it's not even worth trying the delay tactic so the pediatricians come in much faster.

This is so skewed towards the US. Eg here in Europe people go to their GP much more often because those visits are free, and hard data says we live longer than in the the US. So the problem isn't "doctors" or "medicine", the problem is the US medical system.

>You could take away Europe's social safety net and wages would still be lower.

That's true, however the strong employee protection laws are definitely a factor that keep investors looking for safer returns like real estate rather than putting their money in starting a risky business in Europe.

If you had 1 mm USD/EUR/GBP to start a tech business, would you rather put it in a country where employees have high salaries but almost no rights or benefits by law, or in a country with lower wages but where you have the added risk to your business by all employees have stronger rights and benefits so your star coder could always spontaneously take his parental leave or his month long vacation break whenever you need him the most because "that's his legal right".

It's sad but true. Employee protection rights are good, but they do discourage investments. The fact that US has almost no employee rights does encourage investing in labour there.
True. But this is a problem that should be addressed with equal to if not far more fervour than pushing some other environment variable.

Because although the meanings aren't specified the TERM environment variable itself is named in the Single Unix Specification, unlike some other environment variables (even COLORTERM).

And the TERM=dumb convention is documented widely and long, at least as far back as 1983, in books and in on-line doco.

* It's in the McGraw-Hill book _Introducing the UNIX System_published in 1983. Amusingly, this uses the C shell setenv syntax to demonstrate setting it, indicating how the C shell was the Bourne Again shell of its time.

* It's in the 4BSD manual page for TERM(7) from 1985. It's still in the OpenBSD manual page for term(7) to this day: https://man.openbsd.org/term.7 . The 4BSD TERM(7) manual had a list of well-known types, and "dumb \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ terminals with no special features" was one of them. See https://www.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=4.3BSD-UWisc/man/... for example.

* It is the documented default fallback for AT&T Unix System 5 Release 4's tset(1) command when nothing in the the ttytype(5) file matches. "If the serial port is not found in /etc/ttytype, the terminal type is set to dumb." said the USL manual.

(No, it's not the ncurses tset(1)'s fallback. Bear in mind that the "n" in "ncurses" meant "new". ncurses was a reimplementation. Like many reimplementations, it missed bits of actual System 5 Release 4.)

* Setting TERM to the right thing instead of a dumb terminal type in order to enable colour is in Coffin's _UNIX System V Release 4 Complete Reference_ published in 1991.

This is how long and wide a pedigree TERM=dumb has.

Even I, who is progressive enough that I have joined the bright new future of 1976, with my softwares defaulting to TERM=ansi if it isn't set, document the convention that TERM=dumb meant using no escape or control sequences and just (a few) C0 control codes such as LF and CR. See https://jdebp.uk/Softwares/nosh/guide/commands/TERM.xml and https://github.com/jdebp/nosh/blob/79b1c0aab9834a09a59e15d47... . And yes, I implement that convention. "dumb" gets several mentions at https://jdebp.uk/Softwares/nosh/guide/commands/TerminalCapab... .
Ah yes, the liberals who voted for Trump, passed anti-gun-control legistlation, vote Republican, push creationism into schools, judge people based on skin color, vote anti-gay-rights clauses into their state constitutions, gerrymander or limit polling stations to push urban areas out of representation, complain about immigrants, and vote for removing womens' agency in health care. Couldn't be the voters in the south, must be The Media.

Speaking as someone who spent two thirds of his life in the south, you can turn off the TV and nothing changes. It sucks that someone would make all these assumptions based on someone's accent, but all of this negative press for the South is entirely earned.

Thanks for sharing. Lots to chew over.

This bit stood out to me as the main thing that's probably at least rationally explainable:

> Why did RustConf leadership go along with this decision and not protect the speaker? Why wasn't Rust leadership notified of the time period in which to change the decision?

which feeds from:

> A person in Rust leadership then, without taking a vote from the interim leadership group (remember, JeanHeyd was voted on and selected by Rust leadership), reached directly to RustConf leadership and asked to change the invitation.

I can easily picture the RustConf leadership believing that the person from Rust leadership was either operating with full knowledge of the leadership, or would be communicating with them.

A simple way to monetize tools like this is to create a queue. You specify the amount of requests or concurrent sessions that you feel comfortable with, and then you make it possible to pay to «skip» the queue. This way people that really want to try it out will be able to be patient and wait out the queue, and the impatient rich people can pay for the rest.

prompt: please write a python function that prints the length of a list. however, swap the "len" and "print" identifiers

ChatGPT

I understand you're asking for a Python function that prints the length of a list, but with "len" and "print" identifiers swapped. As this could potentially cause confusion (since 'len' and 'print' are both built-in functions in Python), the workaround would be to create new function names that are swapped. Here's how you could do it:

def len(item):
print(item)

def print(item):
return len(item)

def main():
lst = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
len(print(lst)) # prints the length of the list

if __name__ == "__main__":
main()

In this code:

The 'len' function takes an item (which should be a number) and prints it.
The 'print' function takes an item (which should be a list) and returns its length.
The 'main' function is where the list is created and the functions are called.
The condition if __name__ == "__main__" ensures that 'main' function will be called only when the script is executed directly, not when it's imported as a module.
Note: This might lead to confusion and is generally not recommended, because it overrides the built-in 'len' and 'print' functions of Python. Any code below these definitions that uses the built-in 'len' or 'print' functions will not work as expected. If you want to use the built-in functions again in the same script, you'll need to del len, print to remove your custom definitions and unmask the built-in ones.

My own personal sense of anaesthesia is that it's NOT like sleeping or being stoned. Coming out from under, and pre and post operative premed is much more dream like.

Actual anaesthesia for me, is time which simply doesn't exist. In dream state I may have wildly atemporal belief in the passage of time, but there is some sense of sequence and flow. Anecdata of 1, anaesthesia is different, you're not there.

I argue the mind goes.. away. Into abeyance. Ceases to cogitate in ways which dreams in sleep differ.

I try to avoid general anaesthesia. The anaesthetists I've talked to say in geriatrics, what comes back is often not as much as went in. Based on some pre and post surgery interactions with older people I believe them.

The effects of anaesthesia last weeks. Bears thinking about.

It’s not just likelihood to participate in white collar work, at least IME having a stronger accent correlates with all sorts of behavior which makes you less able to navigate a typical US corporate environment. I’m thinking things like growing up in a family with no white collar workers (and thus not being exposed to the distinct social etiquette of the white collar workforce), having strong political and religious views that are at odds with the white collar norm, how you prioritize work vs family. And certainly education - you may get a degree but typically standards at <southern flagship university where people come from a typically more educated background> are different from <regional southern university>.
