The issue is the possible in-person judgement associated with the tip. Traditionally a waiter will not look at your signed bill at your table. They didn't stand over you with a mobile POS system waiting for the tip. Generally those who receive cash tips do not count it in front of the customer. They will find out the tip amount, but not in front of your face.

But with the POS systems, its easy to tell how much someone tipped. Did they go left or right? Even if they turn around the system and don't stare at the screen, they can figure it out. They especially know when you put in a custom tip amount, which is assumed to be lower. Some even show the tip amount to the service person as they turn it back around. There is an pressure to push the center or rightmost amount out of nicety.
This terse comment from the bug is an accurate summary of how projects work at Google, whose side effect was JPEG XL's removal:

> The code has been removed from Chromium (comment #281), I'm closing this bug for now. If leadership revisits the decision [1] it can be reopened.

There you have it--the people making decisions are out-of-touch, likely-non-technical managers, not engineers. Engineers are the ones writing the code and shipping features. Why not empower them to make these decisions?
Doing it on Tor is probably fine. Writing a blog about it with your name, however, is unwise.
Which means that the business owners are implementing this to help cover their costs, rather than being honest and raising their prices.

Are you ChatGPT? You are hallucinating.
>because they lack curiosity.

This is because curiosity requires free energy, hence it is very expensive when you're limited on very expensive compute.

This is what tree of thought is attempting to simulate in some ways. Build a set of multiple questions around the original question and then build on and prune that list based on a 'show your work' set of steps, and then keep iterating.

Humans naturally solve the halting problem when thinking about things... we work on something long enough without a break and we'll pass out. Maybe when we wake, eat, and go to work we'll stop working on the same problem. But an LLM never sleeps. In theory with TOT and no time limit, you could find out your AutoGPT spent 10 million in computing resources contemplating navel lint. So, there are a number of unsolved problems there.

What really becomes concerning is if Nvidia achieves its goals of speeding up training/inference by 1 million times in the next few years, and if the amount of compute we produce increases by a few million times. You and me simply can't use hundreds of minds thinking for years straight and machines could.

The question was literally "is ETH a security?" To compare that to the questions you are stating is laughably bad faith argument.

Though, I'll bite. What statement is made by the question "Is ETH a security?" Why is that a question that can't be answered with "Yes", "No", or "it depends how it is packaged"?
For every good fitness app that does what it promises (-> signal) there are at least 50 bad fitness apps that promise too much and let you pre-pay for the (broken) features you wanted, money you'll never get back (-> noise).

The amount of noise in Fitness apps is so high, nobody really dares to try out small apps. Therefore cool implementations from small devs like the workout-correction might stay unnoticed for years.
I recently formed a very simply rule for myself to mitigate this nonsense: no table service, no tip. Boom, guilt/pressure eliminated.

Implementing a policy (at, say, Starbucks) to add a prompt to every point-of-sale interaction to simply ask for more money is corporate panhandling.

This is unhelpful framing.

What if we could both care about the problems of today and also care about the long term survival of our species? They’re not incompatible. In fact care and concern are probably self reinforcing. The more the better.

Criticism of longtermism seems to center around two concerns: I will discount these ideas because of who has them, and don’t think of the big picture because the immediate picture is so bad.

Neither of which are very good arguments.
I wrote a script to try it. It's boggling that anyone could do this task in milliseconds.

Supposedly, the person who initially submitted the patch to add jpeg xl support has been keeping it up to date in the event that chromium wants to re-introduce it.

If that's the case (and if the implementation is sufficient, rather than a leaky prototype) it would seem that the burden is quite low.
> “My suggestion is you do leave a tip, even if it’s small, at least it’s something,” said etiquette expert and author Jacqueline Whitmore, adding that she typically leaves a 10 to 15% gratuity for takeout services and suggests others give at least 10%. “The bottom line is this. Tipping is good karma … it’s never mandatory, but it’s customary.”

It's 'customary' to tip for takeout? since when?
Zink requires a fairly advanced Vulkan driver, with many complex optional extensions. A basic Vulkan driver wouldn't cut it. So getting basic OpenGL working is much less work, especially since they can share a lot of work with Mesa's existing OpenGL drivers.

> in situations that have no business asking for a tip

In my mind there's always only been 2 situations, tip everywhere or tip nowhere. Why tip your server who has really very few interactions with you, but not tip any other customer service worker? Most get paid far less than what a server ends up making.

Glad to see a US article calling this out (even if it is the nypost).

With US multinational payment providers using this to shoehorn US tipping culture into other countries which previously had more sane (if still flawed) service payment norms, I'm curious to see if it results in a homogenization of cultures around the world (even negating cultures where tipping is considered offensive in favour of westernised norms) OR just a big ol' backlash. Fingers crossed it's the latter, but I'm pessimistic.
To me Occam's Razor suggests that any giant social network inevitably declines into group-think and mod fiefdoms, barring an active mitigation strategy.

This is the very basis of why HN rules and moderation are structured the way they are: to actively discourage such an anticipated decline.

If a person seems reasonable and thoughtful on one anonymous forum, Occam's Razor suggests they are similarly thoughtful in another anonymous forum.
Way to be reductive. It's a very thorough summary of the situation, hardly low effort or obnoxious. If you think it's 'just an image format' then you aren't the target audience. Move on.

Yes, the KPö only has a chance in city council elections. Nobody would trust them regional or even country.
The correct solution is almost certainly legislation at this point... but if the guilt grows too intense, people will ignore the legislation and tip anyway because it will seem immoral to obey any such law.

The cultural norm will soon (if it hasn't already) become ineradicable.

In 2011, Alabama passed a strict voter ID law.

Then, in 2015, Alabama closed DMVs in predominantly black counties, making it hard for black people to get IDs. It took a federal probe to force Alabama to reverse the decision to close the DMVs.

Personally, I think we'd be better off with the vote-by-mail system that Oregon and Washington use.
That final store profiled who said "Personally, I view that the tip culture where we live has become part of the norm to the point where people don’t view it as any sort of pressure," and had not 1 way to tip but 2 methods of tipping and a "Good Person" test charity guiltbox complete with 2 QR codes to donate in case you "don't have any change", seems to be more tipping than actual store at this point, I mean the menu of things to buy is a fraction of the size of the tipping and charity guilt detritus.

I hadn’t heard this theory before but it makes sense at first glance.
Looks like the requirements for a "type system" have increased since I last looked - according to the article, a type system only deserves that name if it prevents use-after-free errors, memory corruption etc. etc. And here was I thinking that every strongly typed language already has a type system (a more or less sound one, but a type system)? Ok, TBF they mention that they are using a "fairly narrow" (re)definition of the term...
Interesting! I hadn’t looked at it this way.
Oh, I am not a settler, I was born in Sevastopol and lived here most of my life, as most people I know. It is hard to be sure, but I'd say, only about 10% of the current population came after 2014, the rest lived here before and then took Russian citizenship.

Cancelling property deals after 2014 would effectively mean most will still be able to live in their homes and apartments but will never be able to sell anything. It took me 5 years to change Ukrainian documents to Russian documents (property documents, passports, driver license, everything), and I still have not received and will probably never receive ownership on the small workshop that belonged to my father's company because it requires something from Ukrainian archives, which is pretty much impossible to obtain. I spent months of my life standing in queues in government agencies and in the court. I cannot imagine changing everything back, it will take decades!

And then, what about the kids who were born here after 2014 and have no Ukrainian documents? What about tens of thousands who lived here all their life but who always were Russian citizens, like my father in law? Sevastopol has been a Russian navy base since 1783, there are so many people who are kids and grandkids of retired navy officers, who were born and lived here but never had Ukrainian citizenship. What about their families, and everybody who had some relation with Russian navy? Half of guys my class in 1994 went to the local Russian navy academy and became Russian navy officers, no chance they or their families can re-integrate in Ukraine. And then the Russian military shipyards, and the local branch of Moscow State University and many many other Russian institutions which were functioning here since forever and all the people working for them and their families... Russia has always had so much presence here, I honestly cannot imagine Ukraine taking over Crimea without expelling or imprisoning half of the population.

Sorry for the brain dump, I didn't mean to make a statement or prove anything, it is just such a mess it hurts to even think about this all.
> IIRC Jobs purchased NeXT when he took the Apple CEO job

No, Apple bought NeXT after the failure of Copland to birth a replacement for the creaky and leaky MacOS (BeOS was the big alternative, but Apple thought they were asking for too much).

And NeXT proceeded to take over: Apple bought NeXT in February 1997 keeping Jobs back as an advisor, Jobs staged a boardroom coup to remove Amelio in July, and was then named interim CEO.

Following that he started cutting into the existing product lines and placing NeXT people (Tevanian , Forstall), promoting people he was interested in (Ive), or hiring them from outside (Cook). Basically reshaping the company.
Yea, pretty much tooling and stuff is what I doubt scales. I'm sure a machine can handle it. It will just be very hard to manage because lack of tooling.
There’s no fundamental reason it would be impossible. Solana Labs would need to file a registration statement with the SEC (https://www.sec.gov/education/smallbusiness/goingpublic/regi...) including among other things a description of its business practices and audited financial statements.

Once they did that, you would be able to buy and sell it at any registered exchange who’s willing to list it. Coinbase, maybe, if they’re willing to accept the costs and regulations involved.
Oh I thought you meant they already escalated to targeting their own civilians.

But yes, absolutely despicable. It's no surprise the US is so concerned about "terrorists" when they seem to be on a fast-track to breeding them.
doesn't this make it more plausible that ukraine blew it up?
The test still applies. So do the exemptions to it (some established by Congress, others by judicial action). There's no exemption for cryptocurrency staking pools.

Perhaps Coinbase's eventual appeals will establish one, but I doubt it.
Ok, that's great news!

Maybe let's wait for Apple to actually announce the details (which neither the cropped screenshot or the talk abstract have), and give the Chrome team some time to react and make a statement. Rather than have the 10th rehash of this on HN with an incendiary title.

To go 10x lower we're at $339. Thats not happening, this thing has essentially a full blown macbook baked into it. Apple has never been interested in cheaping out, and in VR that's Meta's job - their Quest headsets are litterally using the cheapest possible ways of getting to its price point, and it shows.

The consumer one will likely settle somewhere closer to $999 - matching the price of the cheapest macbook air. And it'll be a success at that price point, because by the time we get to that people will understand that it's not a quest with a mobile phone processor slapped inside, it's a laptop grade platform.
Except that marriage is a voluntary relationship of mutual cooperation and trust. Regulation is an involuntary relationship of coercion and enforcement. The least the coerced party may as for is to know what it is going to be punished for, what are the rules of the game. And if us, and always have been, the "fault" of the legislature and law enforcement if somebody does something lawful but they didn't like it. That's how law works in a legal culture we used to have - whatever is "technically" on the list, is not legal, all the rest is legal, and ghe burden oc proof is on the state. You would not like the alternative.
I find myself avoiding a lot of establishments altogether. First the prices are insane, add the tipping thing and I leave these transactions feeling scummed.
Ah, of course. I forgot that they have many other offerings.

On GitHub if you rename your WebP file to "file.webp.png" it will upload just fine, and will use the correct Content-Type header when serving.

This book has serious issues. https://guzey.com/books/why-we-sleep/ The only mention of daylight savings time in Why We Sleep is:

> In the Northern Hemisphere, the switch to daylight savings time in March results in most people losing an hour of sleep opportunity. Should you tabulate millions of daily hospital records, as researchers have done, you discover that this seemingly trivial sleep reduction comes with a frightening spike in heart attacks the following day. Impressively, it works both ways. In the autumn within the Northern Hemisphere, when the clocks move forward and we gain an hour of sleep opportunity time, rates of heart attacks plummet the day after.

I don't see a specific study cited, but my ebook copy doesn't seem to have all the footnotes.

I pulled up the article you linked on sci-hub: https://sci-hub.se/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18971502/ The only use of the number "24" refers to hours in the day, and its summary doesn't seem to match your claim:

> The incidence of acute myocardial infarction was significantly increased for the first 3 week-days after the transition to daylight saving time in the spring (Fig. 1A). The incidence ratio for the first week after the spring shift, calculated as the incidence for all 7 days divided by the mean of the weekly incidences 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after, was 1.051 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.032 to 1.071). In contrast, after the transition out of daylight saving time in the autumn, only the first weekday was affected significantly (Fig. 1B); the incidence ratio for the whole week was 0.985 (95% CI, 0.969 to 1.002

I agree with the point that seeing people using AirPods serves as a sort of social endorsement of the product. (Which is fairly different from your original assertion that "The AirPods you see all the time is because wearing them is a fashion statement.") Though I think the much stronger endorsement comes from talking to people you know and trust. The problem with merely "ambient" signaling (as in, you see people wearing them on public transit, etc.) is that you don't know anything about the preferences of the people you see wearing them. I see (or at least used to see) lots of people wearing Beats too, but I only ever heard bad thing about them from people I know and trust and, therefore, never considered trying a pair.

Vision Pro may not benefit from the latter (weaker) form of social endorsement, but it should be able to generate plenty of the former (stronger) kind.
