what kind of event was that? tech or something else?

Which is all well and good - it’s let of meeting people… but this guy was just blowing through town. All the investment for what? So he could be 1,000 miles away next week? (he said he would be)

that made me think of this song:

be a badass people want to be around

i am probably just like most average introverts, but i don't have problems at tech events, it really depends though. today i was at a meetup of people building brick models (LEGO and alternatives), a hobby i share on the sides. it was way more difficult for me to join that group because i don't have the experience and background as most others, and if it wasn't for people i had already known online, i probably would have acted like your friend there.

on tech events on the other hand i can contribute with my experience, all you need to do is to get me to start talking. likewise any community that is curious about visitors, like my religious community which is always welcoming stories from other countries, which meant i was welcome everywhere i went.

other groups are those where it is possible to integrate without a long history. irish folk sessions. show up with an instrument and play. instant integration. dungeons and dragons. i found a group that would run weekly one-off's. while multiple sessions followed an overall storyline, each session was designed so that it didn't matter who and how many players joined. the DM was ready for anything, the only rule was that all players were at level 5 and had the same number of points to create their characters, so they were all of similar strength. instant integration. board game meetups were even more open. every week i'd see different people. again, easy to integrate.

it does help to have a variety of interests. irish folk sessions were sparse outside of western countries (only in big cities with lots of expats), board games and dnd too. tech events are a lot easier.

The academic paper has quite a bit more detail. The link to it in the Vice article seems to be broken, but it's available (open access!) on the journal website.

It’s also this elitist mindset that makes HN boring often.

So can different people in same country...
The mouse that I ditched in favor of this setup was a vertical mouse, I definitely agree that is better than your standard variety.

The mouse key layer includes scrolling keys, and I do actually have a scroll wheel on the left module which I use a decent bit while reading. Best of both worlds IMO.

Of course, to each their own!
See, the problem is that with something like:

> Another term for those? Doctrine.

you show that there is literally no sense in attempting to convince you. You divide everything into black and white, where seemingly any kind of knowledge is automatically doctrine. If I bring up ways to analyze how we attain knowledge and how we can make sure knowledge follows "facts" in a philosophical sense, you just declare that to be doctrine too. You're not responding to any arguments or thoughts beyond automatically declaring them doctrine.

> That's not a redefinition, btw. Look it up.

Sure, let's do it! Cambridge says: "the process of repeating an idea or belief to someone until they accept it without criticism or question"

Dictionary.com says: "the act of indoctrinating, or teaching or inculcating a doctrine, principle, or ideology, especially one with a specific point of view"

So your definition is completely different from the first (since I mentioned critical examination), and it falls under one specific part of the second (but fails the others completely). So sure, if you completely ignore the other - more commonly known - definition, you are technically correct. If you accept the word as it is commonly used (we don't want to put you at the center of the universe, do we?) suddenly your rants are pretty baseless.

> “The MVA does not endorse the views or content on the current website using that URL…”

Maybe they should learn that they did actually endorse it, and they should be liable for it.

Imagine if the NBA put that same link on their jerseys, and then a white supremacist organization bought out the URL. Would they be liable for “endorsing” it? Of course they would! Same for Maryland. Morons.
I often use non commercial license:

https://polyformproject.org/licenses/noncommercial/1.0.0/

And without fail, people will howl ITS NOT OPEN SOURCE. They ignore that the code is on GitHub, and as long as you're not trying to make money with it, then do whatever you want with it. I don't like the idea of companies getting code for free and giving nothing back. I do like to support people who want my software for personal use.
"Extraordinary" is absolutely a scientific "category", used to describe ideas that not only lack explanation given current understanding, but also substantially upend that current understanding.

These "objects" do not exist simply because recorded measurements could be explained by their existence. Without also providing a way to fit the existence of these objects into reproducible, falsifiable explanations that globally conform to all other theories of physics, biology, astronomy, chemistry, etc., what you have is nothing more than a wild claim.

In other words, "extraordinary" is a euphemism for lazy pseudoscience. Do the work before making the claim.
This is expected. The OAuth spec defines two client types -- confidential clients (eg. web apps) "capable of maintaining the confidentiality of their credentials" and public clients (eg. native apps) "incapable of maintaining the confidentiality of their credentials". https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6749#section-2.1

The goal of this study is not to establish that there is systemic racism in policing in general or in traffic stops in particular. That's been well documented, for decades, and it's surprising to see people denying it or expecting this study to reconfirm something so well established.

This study is trying to connect the dots from early warning signs in a traffic stop to disproportionately-bad outcomes that are faced by minorities. They used the data they had to try to connect the dots, drew some inferences, but much more is left to be studied here.
Here in Barcelona there is a display area at the local FNAC in the city center where you could try them out. The display area is still there (including huge marketing wallpaper) but the attendants are gone so perhaps it didn't work out. There was always a queue while they were doing it though.

I think part of the problem was it was during the end of the pandemic and perhaps people were feeling bad about sharing a headset, though they were rubbing it down with alcohol in between.

But considering the area is still there: Perhaps they are not doing demos all day. I'm not there very often.
The biggest issue, IMHO, is that clinical trials are often unethical. This is both in theory and especially in practice. I say this as a physician and clinical trial investigator.

EBM deals with this by saying ‘there is no viable alternative’, a remarkable statement of epistemological nihilism that enables much low quality snd pointless research.
No one is seriously advocating for that. It isn't even remotely possible with current AI. At most it AI will be a minor productivity boost and perhaps help prevent some human errors.
Wrong for two reasons:

1. There is no restriction that the asset being borrowed and the collateral are in the same asset class - loans can be extended based on whatever criteria the DAO in charge of the Dai votes on. There are a number of loans backed by real property investments in the US, see [0] under RWA. There are a number of loans also backed by large holdings in US bonds.

2. Dai is pegged to the dollar. It can be instantly exchanged with the dollar at a number of onramps. It is not equivalent to holding volatile crypto like ethereum.

I mean, this isn't a list of "communist goals," this is a list of what is claimed, by American right-wingers and the American government during a time of vehement anti-communist sentiment - to be "communist goals," but it reads like a right-wing American screed. The first two items imply opposition to atomic war is a communist plot. It quotes without sources. It makes claims that it doesn't back up.

I see no particular reason to take this at face value.
I analyzed Sam Altman's Senate AI testimony using ChatGPT (Plutchik's emotion)
Uh, it simulated killing its human operator. No one says that, but the description omits any detail of actual death, such as the age of the deceased operator.

It's a harbinger of actual deaths someday.
Preaching to the choir here: work is work.
Work in IT incorporates a LOT of planning ahead and questioning decisions. But this only helps when it is not for the sake of impressing or avoiding work.

Being smart means to improve dysfunctional processes.

Being oversmart amounts to complaining.

Similar to politics, the line becomes harder to draw if current processes/ideas/workflows really are dysfunctional.

As long as money is made; presumably there is work to do

You'd think it's a common typo, but I have literally only ever seen it spelled as "HIPPA" by people trying to use HIPAA as a punching bag for whatever happens to be their current pet issue. And those people almost always misspell it.

The number of anti-vaxxers citing "HIPPA" as the reason why the local concert hall was trampling on their civil rights by asking to see proof of vaccination was... extremely high.
Yes. On 4chan they're called boards. Some boards are focused on particular content. Other boards are focused on the type of media posted.

/wsg/ = the work safe version of /gif/ (its toned down but still not actually safe for work)

You’re in luck because those types of titles form the majority of VR titles today. The more common complaint is the lack of AAA content like Alyx which is due to the lack of users
Stephen Ross (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Ross_(economist) )'s books on APT / CAPM are pretty good too imho.
I started my indie electron app a year after Keygen started. I looked at Keygen when I launched a version of my app off the app stores. I needed a way to license and have complete control.

At the time, Keygen didn’t do everything I needed (but it probably does now), so I’m not a user. However, I’ve always looked at Keygen and its solo dev with great respect. I just knew that we were going to be successful in our niches and although we haven’t helped each other with direct product offerings, just know that Keygen made me feel like I could do anything.

Because we are talking license servers … My license server is node+mongo and vends licenses as JWT. My desktop app verifies the JWT and uses the payload to unlock features. They work offline. Pretty slick! I’m proud of what we’ve built. Truly standing on the shoulders of giants.

Best of luck on your open sourcing of Keygen! Let me know if you’re ever in the Midwest USA and we can grab a meal or beverage together.
The thing with sync rights is that they are a construct made by US courts, who made the interpretation that syncing music to a video invokes the derivative works part of US copyright law. As such a party need to obtain both a license to reproduce and a license to create a derivative work. US copyright law are split into six categories, one which is reproduction. The other 5 are: preparation of derivative works, distribution (which is not the same as reproduction), public performance, public display, and public performance by means of a digital audio transmission. Copyright owner is given in the law the right to convey each of these exclusive rights separately.

Other countries like say France has moral copyright law and property copyright law as cleanly separate laws. Different rules but with similar practical implications.

In both cases they are not just fine prints in a license. A license that intend to give recipients full permissions need to include everything. This is why international written copyright licenses are a huge legal problem with no obvious solutions.

The human brain is vastly more complex. We don't learn by building up an understanding of the average human face, grouping by clusters of features. At best it would be a extreme oversimplification that ignore 99.9% of what the brain does. The eye neurons (still an oversimplification) sends the visual inputs to multiple parts of the brain, each interpreting and signaling each other, and the outcome of that both influences and changes growth and behavior of those paths and parts. You see a face and it talks to the Amygdala, but also to the frontal cortex, but also the limbic and pre-limbic cortex. It runs a simultaneously a simulation in the hypothalamus to test emotional reaction. We are still not at the hippocampus where long term memories is generally considered to form.

A person would be long dead if they had to go through the generic understanding of what a tiger look like, then go through memories that distinguish a lion with a cat, and last go through memories of the significance of a fenced tiger in a zoo in contrast to one in the jungle.

Trying to remember a given human face actually invokes a lot of those parts of the brains that activated when we saw them, and a face can also be remember by putting oneself into the emotional state that we were when we met them. One theory about dreaming is that we also rerun those neural pathways, but not all of them at the same time, which then allows for more context.

LLMs doesn't even come close to operate like this. It can be good at emulating what seems like learning, but comparing them is like saying that the complex system we call the immune system is like a gun. Both can kill people.

To the author: what is the algorithmic approach to determine a schedule?

Once you add a couple of constraints or complications (e.g. can't be on-call two nights in a row, or on-call weekends count 1.5x because they are more "painful"), it quickly becomes a fairly general constraint satisfaction problem. This is a field with deep mathematics involved and decades of academic literature. As far as I know, reaching the state-of-the-art is extremely hard, and it is usually advised to use an off-the-shelf solver (a SAT [1] solver, or a constraint-programming solver like Gecode [2], or something more specific like OptaPlanner/TimeFold [3]).

If in addition you introduce happiness and/or fairness maximization, then you may want optimality guarantees, and then you need a full-blown MIP solver (which means slower solves, and the faster MIP solvers are expensive).

That said, the model used here seems to have a special structure, so a custom (greedy?) algorithm may make sense. Any pointer for more details on the model?

Tree Style Tabs work well, because screen estate is not wasted on 16:9 and 16:10 style displays. Web browsing is mostly reading task and because of usability, line length cannot exceed a certain width. Thus, there is more screen estate horizontally around the page than vertically on top and bottom of the page you are reading.
To be an entrepreneur you have to do a lot of other stuff (like finding clients) that many technical people are neither interested in nor would be good at. That's certainly my case. I'd much rather have someone else handle all that and let me worry about the techincal stuff. If it worked out I could likely make more money as a consultant but I don't think I'd be happier and would certainly be more stressed.

I probably couldn't stand a boss who tried to tell me how to do my job though but I've never had the misfortune to be in that situation.
If it is generally agreed that soviets, fascists, nazis used modern art to pursue their ends (new objectivity etc) I find it implausible that US intelligence wouldn't respond in kind. Of course that doesn't mean that the manner of response detailed by this article is accurate.
Because helm charts lack a schema.
Programming by yaml configuration means you spend time searching github for an example kind of like what you're trying to do instead of having actual tools which allow auto-completion.

Editing helm charts it the ultimate form of throwing spaghetti at the wall and praying it works, without being able to actually test anything locally.
Students Living with Retirees
To be fair, Kotick likely sees himself that way. Wealth often blinds folks to the lives of non-wealthy people. Extreme wealth can induce people to act in ways that appear outright delusional to the rest of us. (And quite often the behavior can be quantifiably delusional.)

But he also undoubtedly considers himself to be a good person, and it's unlikely other similarly wealthy people will have the necessary perspective to call him out on it.

Mid-career B2B technology strategy/ops leader with wide range of experiences (finance, sales, marketing, M&A, VC, consulting, operations); in a mix of large (including public) organizations, venture-backed startups, and side hustles (in descending order)

Looking for a hands-on leadership role helping build, scale, and execute robust processes across any and all of my various areas of functional expertise. I've build teams; sales and marketing plans and processes from scratch; financial models for investing, acquiring, or fundraising alike; managed large (50+) cross functional projects for turn-arounds, product launches, and M&A integration; advised and reported to C-suites; and even taught strategy and innovation at a top 20 global B School.

I can work closely with and get into the weeds with sales reps, lawyers, devs, PMs, accountants and marketers alike; and fill in as needed in about half of these roles.

Interested in joining a team solving an interesting B2B or SMB problem with a healthy culture and ambitious but reasonable goals. Sector and location/remote flexible.
