The union waited until the concrete trucks were poured/loaded/on their way to call the strike action, in order to exact intentional and maximal damage to the company.

That doesn't seem to me as normal business losses and striking to increase one's bargaining position. That borders on extortion.

I think the difference is "obvious".
The proof that the tiling is aperiodic comes with a recursive algorithm for generating tilings.
It's more complicated than that. Angular resolution is where you can distinguish between one or two separate objects. You need an entire rod/cone/camera pixel in between to pick out the middle. But when it comes to viewing edges and lines, it's like using grayscale instead of black and white. Differences of position ten times as small can be distinguished.

That’s a very good point. There is a way however if we reach very good alignment for LLMs and can force them, for example, to actively avoid the behavior you just mentioned. But that’s a long way from now.
These speakers seem to work like this:

There is a rubber layer, coated with conducting material to serve as electrodes. The signal is applied in form of a high voltage which makes the electrodes attract each other and contract the rubber in between perpendicular to the surface (i.e. the rubber layer gets thinner). Since the rubber material is relatively incompressible though (volume of the material doesn't change), the surface area of the membrane has to increase in return. To generate sound from that, the membrane is stretched over a cavity that is under higher than ambient pressure which helps expand the 'balloon' when its surface area increases. This displaces surrounding air which means the contraption is emitting soundwaves.

(I could only find a thumbnail of the first page of a paper from that professor and extracted this from it)

I think labeling it a "show trial" goes too far. Three of the original defendants (Fritzsche, von Papen, and Schacht) were acquitted; and Doenitz was spared the death penalty for his unrestricted submarine warfare orders because similar orders were issued by the victorious Allies. I doubt a full-on show trial would have been as just or merciful.
I have been getting a few of these per week for the past couple of years. It’s really frustrating as the payment request comes from PayPal so won’t be flagged as spam, and there’s no way to “unsubscribe” because you get the email whether you have a PayPal account or not. I keep forwarding them to phishing@paypal.com and nothing happens. At this point, I would definitely consider PayPal to be complicit.
Funny how that sentence was downvoted in a community where technically savvy people knows that, thecnically, LLMs are algebraic parrots and all they do is mimicry and yet, with a downvote, are pushing to silence that reality.

I've loathe people that want to de-humanize and robotize themselves by deifying machines. Specially when they pose to being perceived as being humane simultaneously in a path of self-induced psychosis; a career of anti-human drones.
The weight of the driver is not really a factor so much as a side effect of the engineering. You want to look at it in terms of total volume displaced and the sensitivity (if you are thinking about efficiency). Drivers with more surface area & excursion typically do have larger magnets and support structures.

LFE reproduction is all about moving large volumes of air by any means necessary. There are relatively featherweight subwoofers that literally use fans to move volumes of air and achieve performance that is impossible in traditional drivers of any weight class.

Doesn't really matter how you do it as long as things stay in phase.
> In-person voting still requires some form of ID

Don't know about you, but my deep-blue US county has never asked me for squat any time I've gone to vote. (In contrast, when I vote in French elections, my photo ID is checked three times by three different people. As far as I know this requirement has never caused any political controversy whatsoever.)

> The heightened ID requirements don't increase election security because fraud is already very rare.

"The conclusion is speculative." I'm not saying it definitely made a difference, just that it's reasonable to argue it might have (for example, maybe fraud only appears rare because lack of ID ensures it goes uncaught.) Personally, I highly doubt it affected national results.

> This information was then passed to Congress, where the House voted to impeach (the first time).

The first impeachment alleged improper behavior regarding Trump's communication with the Ukrainian government. Russian collusion didn't even come into it.
Git's documentation should somehow prominently teach people that:

- Git stores snapshots, not changes.

- Snapshots go into something called an index. "Git add" means to add to an index.

- A new commit is prepared by creating a new index based on the index of the HEAD commit. This new index is the "stage". The index holds a complete copy of the files. When you stage only certain changes with "git add --patch", that is still the case: you're making a version of the file which has only those selected changes and that goes into the index. A built-in tool that is external to the git representation did the text manipulation to separate those changes.

- When you commit, the uncommitted index you have created as a stage becomes a commit.
I doubt you would find one. 100 years ago doctors were just accepting that hand washing before surgery was a good idea. I'm not sure what the oldest source of general washing you will find is, probably 1950s.

Ask HN: Advice for older dude looking to find startup
Hi,

I'm 55 and am finished with a startup I co-founded because the hard work is done, and we're not headed for geometric growth.

I don't have a compelling new idea; have ample tech skills, but want to focus on operations, communication and marketing; am financially independent but won't invest money.

I've no network in the startup area and been a successful university teacher and quantitative researcher.

Ideally, I would find a small team with a vision and a reasonable chance of success. More importantly, they should be committed, competent and non-jerks,

I know lot's of people have ideas; what would you do in my place in terms of finding those with the listed qualities who'd be interested in me?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Thanks for every reply, I'll start reaching out to individuals soon; if you mentioned mentoring or accelerators, some specific examples would be helpful to me.
“I don’t see any errors on my end, perhaps you want to take it up with customer service.”
It's an interesting concept. Might be good once in awhile.

maybe on a mac keyboard this [meta_mac:M] is the key and the stuff below it is how it's configured? I'm not 100% sure.
Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) mac OS keyboards have an extra hyper key on the right side of the spacebar.

Comparison pics below:

It also looks like there's an extra key next to the ?-mark key.

I would love to master Ctrl & Alt (plus maybe the "Windows" key) across Linux, mac OS, and Windows, and load the rest with arcane macros.

Just that the Unicomp 101 refuses to break, so I don't have a Windows key either.
I agree. Until a computer becomes independent sentient entity (AGI) - and we aren't AGI yet - they're merely sophisticated agents, performing fancy calculations for their users. They may make an illusion of sentience and autonomity, but they as lack free will, someone who performed the requests and used their outputs should get all the benefits and liabilities.

Unless they were tricked into believing something important but untrue about the program they ran by the developer (or provider) of such program (tool maker). In such case, the blame is on the provider, I guess.

Although in case of the modern language models, I think every single one does their best to inform everyone that this is a glorious world juggler program that is good at writing believable sentences, not a thinking machine.

Think of it like traditional code completion. It's mostly wrong but still useful. You either type through it, or tab/arrow to select the correct completion.

AI code completion (like Github Copilot) is like this. Still a time saver overall, even with a low acceptance rate.
PayPal supposedly has a "refuse payment" button, but it works differently for "verified" and "unverified" accounts.

Now, if this was a bank to bank ACH transfer, the recipient could just refuse the credit. There's an error code for this situation: R10: “Customer Advises Originator is Not Known to Receiver and/or Originator is Not Authorized by Receiver to Debit Receiver’s Account”.[1]
You can contact your bank and refuse an incoming ACH transaction, which will generate this.

This is different from sending money back. It says to the banking system that the transaction was rejected and did not complete. So you're not sending the unknown originator your money. You're refusing to take their money. This eliminates the possibility of a reversal from their end costing you money. It also marks the transaction as an error in the banks at both ends. This is useful, because many errors on an account are an alarm condition and will get the attention of some fraud department.

If you have to reverse a transaction, do it fast. There are time limits for the simple paths.

(A friend of mine runs a bank branch of a major bank. Much of her day is spent straightening out error situations like this.)

My fingers type “telnet” themselves out of muscle memory, but is it actually better for anything than netcat?
I used qubes for about 9 months or so as a daily driver in a startup CTO role and found it fantastically effective. It's really great for a work situation because you can trivially set up different vms for performing "executive" functions (email, presentations etc) and development, and it's really easy to switch gears and do things like infosec evaluations (open things in RO burner VMs to take a look at them etc).

Edit to add: I stopped using it in the end because having "real" MS Office became essential to certain job functions and I never got the windows vm working satisfactorarily. It worked but it introduced enough additional friction to be a problem for certain things I needed to do (eg client demos etc). This was partly because my laptop wasn't really powerful enough for the task.
Probably several reasons both hardware and software.

1. LCD panel grade - panels are graded when they’re manufactured and Apple buys the ‘A’ quality panels while others including manufacturers tend to use a mix of different graded panels or buy the cheaper ‘B’ and ‘C’ grade panels which have uniformity issues and other perceptible defects. Back in the day Dell ultrasharps were famous for the ‘panel lottery’ where you weren’t sure what quality you’d get.

2. Other aspects of panels - There’s a lot of little things that go into making them that can affect quality including polarizers, backlight guides, anti glare, how they’re bonded, etc. Apple does a lot of investment in display tech (they did the first bonded lcds afaik which meant the pixels seemed like they were on top of the glass vs behind) and they doesn't skimp on quality parts.

3. Text rendering - At the software layer I believe Apple renders text a bit differently than Windows, and as of a few years ago killed text antialiasing, tho I’m not up to date on whether that results in qualitative difference vs Windows.

4. Target PPI - All Apple devices are made at target ppis - Mac around 227, iPad 264, iPhone 326 (lcd) - 480 (oled) - all of which correspond to a near equivalent size to our eyes when factoring in target distance from eyes for different form factors (e.g. phones closer, tablet middle, computer farther). Windows & Android devices are all over the place on this, offering tons of different scale factors that may affect.

5. Color correction - supporting ~100% P3 gamut colors on all modern displays along with the software to support it

6. Whole stack software optimization - when you control hw & sw, you can eke out a bit more qualitative improvement. For instance, knowing the panels are of a certain PPI and quality of color repro means you can pick UI colors (various greys etc) with much higher confidence, can create your own custom fonts that look great on them, etc, versus a sort of 'web safe colors' lowest common denominator equivalent you're stuck with on platforms like Win/Android with a lot of variance in device quality.

Basically: you get the best visuals when you control the whole stack and invest in premium everything.

Popular has many meanings. If one takes popular to mean done/used by many then sure. You are right. Filing tax returns is popular by the same definition.

If you mean popular as in the antonym of unpopular I don't think elisp can be called popular. I have written several thousand lines of elisp outside of my Emacs config, and it is probably my least favourite lisp - and I believe most people who know more lisps than elisp think like I do.

As far as I know, Flatpak offers a fair amount of control over sandboxing. It's just that isn't particularly useful for some thing like a document processing application that you usually want to be able to use on files in various parts of your system. The alternative might be giving it access to one particular directories, and then copying files there when you want to work on them. But that's already pretty cumbersome, something only the paranoid would bother with.

Realistically, I know that I do not have the skills to evaluate complicated applications and their complicated dependencies for security characteristics, so I am 100% reliant on packagers, maintainers, etc. for my security anyway. I'd rather just donate to the people publishing and maintaining the packages and hope that they are doing the job well, than fruitlessly attempt to fuss over it myself.
This example is not going to help your case.

The statement 'kill all men' is literally a call to violence.

Now of course (probably?) you didn't mean it as that, but it still falls well within purview of 'obviously moderated', probably immediately, by the automated mechanisms, and frankly, how could you expect anything otheriwse?

The fact that you're willing to admit your bigotry and blatant hate speech on another forum, as though somehow you're a victim, is probably an exmaple of how we tolerate trolling dirtbag bigotry, so long as it 'targets the correct side'.

I think you misread my comment, at no point did I express that free software intents to support the existence of copyright. But free software and open source are obviously built on top of the copyright system, as you said (they are a kind of hack). So you obviously care about copyright frameworks and their various implementations if you care about open source/free software.
The article mentions the fragility, but seems extremely optimistic on the ability to solve this, but I'm not sure way. It just says "once this is overcome" but the things it seems to be talking about are major barriers to a commercial product.
I’m not yelling at people. I’m just pointing out something that seems abnormal. I personally think normalizing voluntarily wearing masks is great as it makes it acceptable to wear them on airplanes, and service workers who want are free to mask up where you would have been seen as a crazy person pre pandemic.

It makes sense to wear a mask when you’re on an airplane or if you’re a service worker in constant contact with the general public.

Now for me personally wearing a mask was almost impossible to ignore because I wear glasses, so my glasses were constantly fogging up and it was a huge hassle and nearly unbearable over the course of a day, so in my mind it’s extra surprising to see people wearing masks when they’re alone and in my mind it doesn’t make much logical sense to do so.

I skimmed through the study, but didn't read the whole thing. It appears that they called it vaccine related if it happened within 42 days of being vaccinated. What would the normal incidence be for unvaccinated people in a typical 42 day period? And what is the incidence for people who get infected with covid? Without those to compare with its hard to know what to think about these numbers.

Often things go like this:

1. Niche refreshing or funny subreddit becomes popular. Power mods request to join the mod team, are rejected by the mods of the sub, who are just normal people like you and me.

2. It hits 100k users, becoming subject to more stringent rules from the admins

3. Incestuous relationship between powermods/astroturfers/reddit admins is used to get the original mod banned (at least accused of "allowing hateful content" or some other false flag)

4. Powermods take over the sub, keep some old mods, but ban anyone speaking up

5. The subreddit is now under the full control of powermods, and becomes an astroturfed echo chamber like the rest of the reddit front page. Sub's front page becomes a mix between the original content and the marketing page for ShareBlue-like organizations.
> a just government and a conscientious regulatory body wouldn't busy itself warning anyone.

Regulatory bodies issue warnings all the time, that's one of the most essential functions of a government. Why? Because we don't like it when the government unilaterally acts on our behalf.

Warning people is also the cheapest option here, which matters in a society that is constantly obsessed with government spending. There are tons of bank-adjacent services out there (pay-day loans are just one example) and it would cost a fortune in legal fees to force everyone that holds cash for customers to register as a bank.

This way, consumers know the risks and businesses don't need to take on excessive regulatory burden. How is that a government failure?
Which makes me wonder: why don’t we find higher capacity SSDs? Is it purely a matter of price, with consumers not willing to pay for more capacity than a few TB?
Here are the relevant parts of my .xkb file. Note that the "osfUp" code is code I found elsewhere (don't remember where). Just repeat it for Left, Right and Down.

I first added this new "THREE_HYPER" using three levels (you can add more levels if you fancy that):

type "THREE_HYPER" {
modifiers= Shift+Hyper;
map[Shift]= Level2;
map[Hyper]= Level3;
map[Shift+Hyper]= Level3;
level_name[Level1]= "Base";
level_name[Level2]= "Shift";
level_name[Level3]= "Hyper3";
};

Then the "interpret" does the magic:

interpret osfUp {
repeat= True;
action = RedirectKey(keycode=<UP>, clearmodifiers=Hyper);
};

And for each key, assign the arrow key redirection you want (showing only "i" for up here):

key <AD08> { type= "THREE_MESH_HYPER", symbols[Group1]= [ i, I, osfUp ] };

I'd say that it's not a job for xmodmap but for .xkb.

Also I don't use xmodmap at all: I set everything, including all the modifiers, from my .xkb file.

My xmodmap output for Hyper (which I set, from .xkb, as mod5):

... $ xmodmap | grep mod5
mod5 Hyper_L (0xcf)

You'll want to read on .xkb but this should get you started.
