>>Bitcoin solves this.

Bitcoin also loves this. Lots of people will use the coming fall to make money shorting this. Then eventually as BTC stabilises they will make money going long as well.

In short a lot of BTC doomers will celebrate, and BTC mooners will celebrate as well. Except for different reasons.
If we are totally honest though, people working in a google office generally have fewer private distractions like porn, taking naps on a sofa, watching Succession, playing with their cat etc. Reading the discussion on Blind is very illuminating on this, like one guy claiming to have frequent sex with his wife during the workday.
Inflation is the epitome of the Dunning-Kruger effect. You let a young Republican into one Econ 101 class and suddenly he thinks he knows more than actual economists. All of whom will tell you no one fully understands inflation. You don't know what you don't know. Economics is more of an ideology than a science anyway.

Who's to say inflation is even a bad thing, anyway? Argentina's had "hyperinflation" over and over again, and it's not exactly Weimar Germany. All the debt in the economy can never be repaid. Debt vastly exceeds the money supply. What is money, anyway? It's just another form of debt. Dollars and treasury bills are completely interchangeable. In a world that runs on debt, devaluing debt (aka inflation) is a good thing for everyone except the nested-yacht rich (up to a point).

These paltry stimulus programs largely went to pad oligarchs' bank accounts through PPP fraud. This doesn't contribute to prices at the grocery store, at all. It did jack up the price of crypto ponzi schemes, and made a bird app worth a meme number for a brief moment in time. That's about it. Giving money to the rich does not stimulate the economy whatsoever. They just hoard it and blow it on nonsense until it vanishes into thin air, from whence it came. They can't spend all that money on goods and services in ten lifetimes.

Supply shocks, trade wars, excess corporate profits, and a staggering lack of antitrust enforcement are playing far more of a role with inflation than those $1200 checks.

Lastly, raising taxes on oligarchs is pretty much the most popular position in the country, according to polling. Raising taxes is not political suicide at all, provided they're the right kind of taxes. Polls also repeatedly find that Bernie Sanders is the most popular politician in the country. Unfortunately, public opinion has been scientifically proven to have no effect on policy in the USA. This is not a democracy. It's a fascist police state.
At least, there is a way to sandbox it:

I picked up a whole mess of them when everyone in my deep blue area stopped masking. They were deeply marked down. I can’t be the only one looking ahead like this. They’re great for home improvement projects, risky environments, and days like this.
Cool project! I always meant to do something like this but never got around to playing with the tech.

Corn-based Ethanol is used to curry favor with Iowans who hold (for Republicans) the first in the nation presidential primary contest (actually a caucus, but it’s the first voting event on the primary calendar).

It was also the first in the nation voting event for Democrats until the IA Democratic Party thoroughly botched the 2020 caucuses.
Just the wind patterns. And where the bulk of the fires are. They're mostly in Northern Quebec, so fairly far east, and the smoke seems to be pushing south from there down over Ottawa and then the eastern half of New York and kind of pooling further south.

Just got home to southern Ontario from a work trip (in South Dakota, where there was no smoke at all) and I was expecting it to be pretty bad, but it really isn't (though I won't be exerting myself outside or anything). It's sitting mostly east of here, so far.

Rain coming next week, that should relieve things.
Accelerating enough to be always spinning the back wheel is also the way to avoid high-siders. Perhaps only very powerful bikes can do this predictably at any speed. It's the same technique as a speed way bike, but on bitumen and far higher speeds.

Very cool. Thanks for the tip! I had no idea this was possible.
Someoone shedding this much viral load to reach detectable levels in municipal sewage is almost certainly not having healthy bodily functions. It'd be pretty noticeable for most victims that they've been infected with something bad unless they have pre-existing immunocompromised conditions.
Of course they can track you to some degree either way, however the official app is using an IDFA (advertising identifier) [1] whereas Apollo is not, which makes tracking in the official app significantly easier.

The official app is also hoovering up other deanonymizing data like user location, which helps narrow down ad targeting even further. It's obvious why Reddit prefers you use their official app instead of a third-party alternative.

Thanks for bringing some reason to the stupidest non-argument in this thread. GesWaPo = fake news.
This particular nastiness is actually coming from Northern Quebec, mostly.

That's some "yummy" drone footage. I remember one summer in the mid 90s when it got like that in Edmonton for a bit. Good times.
Since I brought up Singapore:

We have casinos here. Our government is an interesting mix between laissez-faire and paternalistic with a strong Puritan streak. (I don't think it's actually of Puritan origin, but a parallel evolution from Chinese culture? Would be interesting to look into the origins.)

The result is that foreigners can enter the casinos willy-nilly, and lose all their money as they please. But as a local you have to pay an entry levy of 150 Singapore dollars, just to remove any illusion that you might be come out ahead when you visit.

You can also tell that government that they should ban you from entry completely (if you know you have a gambling problem). Curiously enough, your relatively can also do that for (or rather, to) you.

REC-90 is a very specific blend, which isn't sold in many states for the simple reason that they have others available.

Hell, just read the first sentence of the second paragraph of that wikipedia page:

> Unlike most stations in the plains states which carry ethanol-free 87 octane unleaded alongside 10% ethanol 87 octane unleaded, ...

As a midwest resident of a non-plains-state, I can confirm that there are plenty of gas stations that sell no-ethanol gas, either 87 or 93 octane (usually the higher, since it's a premium product anyway).
Curious what is your skillset and experience that Google wants to recruit you so bad?
Of the thousands of providers that exist for Terraform (where the implementation details you discuss would exist) only a half dozen are maintained by HashiCorp. Usually in some form of partnership with the vendor in question (e.g., AWS).

There’s no pricing based incentive structure for the type of sprawl you’re worried about. Not to say the trend you observed won’t continue. Just that if it does it’ll likely be due to composability or maintenance needs of the specific providers rather than juicing pricing.
I’m in tons of discords. I finally moved most of them into folders I rarely check. I’ve never been able to get into Discord. Either servers are too active or too inactive. I’m bombarded with Discord invites etc because of the stuff I’m interested in so I know that’s where stuff is now too.
If we can infinitely reach things untraceable to known physics then I don't see how it could ever be proven that we could perfectly simulate human brains, but for the sake of the argument: what resolution do we care to simulate the brain at? Technically speaking, a 1990's chatbot simulates the human brain to some non-zero resolution.

My point is that to make the claim "human creativity" can be simulated surely would have the burden.

They actually work really well and are 10x cheaper. It's also fun.

For many people on HN they won't get it. $500 isn't a lot for an appliance right? For many that's two months groceries...
I would not recommend the Airgradient diy kit to anyone. Have been using one for a while but the CO2 sensor is really unreliable and often spits out wrong values. VERY OFTEN. Last time this issue was wildly discussed by people using it e.g. in the link below which is using Prometheus but also in the forums of airgradient. All with no solution.

1000 euros for rent seems absurdly low. I don't think this is true in Berlin anymore. If you have a family, rents are around 2k.
KeepassXC has a ways to go still before I can trust it. I just attempted to use it again, after a few years, and syncing the DB across google drive randomly caused all of my entries to be erased. No recovery, nothing. just opened the DB one day and all of my saved notes and passwords went poof.

It's a know bug, but the fact that it still exists really shows how much the devs care about making it a really rock solid alternative. I've never had this issue with Google passwords, 1password or any other provider.
There's a translation button. Should I make it more prominent?

I'll also add voice and translations to the suggestions provided on every screen.

It's also a matter of learning style... I don't speak a word of Portuguese or Bosnian, but diving into those was a lot of fun! Language learning can be seen like a detective game and it's super exciting then.

In any case, will definitely try to accommodate more learning styles and personality types.

I wonder why they don’t just charge for it.

Release a GPT-4 beating model; charge $30/mo.

That’s not aligned with their core ad model. But it’s a massive win in demonstrating to the world that they can do it, and it limits the number of people who will actually use it, so the hardware demand becomes less of an issue.

Instead they keep issuing free, barely functional models that every day reinforce a perception that they are a third rate player.

Perhaps they don’t know how to operate a ‘halo’ product.
Of course, part of the issue here is that there isn't really a good shorthand term for "the group of American Black people of diverse African origin whose cultures were oppressed and destroyed by the white majority for centuries, leading to a mélange culture intentionally constructed out of the remaining scraps".
Thats not very relevant to a current choice between moving or taking a pay cut.
Watch the Anna Delvey documentary when you're bored sometime and tell me you don't low-key respect that hustle. Tell me you wouldn't have strongly considered nullifying that jury if you were on it.

Then compare that to what Elizabeth Holmes did, and tell me you don't wish she got a much harsher sentence.

There's a lesson there. To join the party, don't ignore your personal morals. Just bend them to grift the right people.
That’s not how supply and demand work. Taxi medallions tanked in value. Similarly now that the value of any Reddit API based product has tanked…they won’t be worth the same. Not that many of the apps were ever going to be sold for many millions of dollars.

The Reddit app does not ask for your GPS location. Reddit has the same very course idea about your location whether you use the official app or a third party app - your IP address.

It’s also a system setting whether you allow an app to use IDFA - which according to at least FB - 80% of iOS users decline.
Any POSIX system that has a C++11 compiler could compile llama.cpp and run it, including all the BSDs. The OS supported by onnxruntime is very limited.
There are still a lot of questions I'm not clear with passkeys. How do you recover your keys if you lose your hardware? What happens if you lose your phone and have no extra trusted device? There will be no more phone number, and no more trusted device. Most MFA implementation, which heavily rely on phone number, will no longer work. And, for Yubikey, how do you backup? Do you need multiple Yubikeys? Do you need to manually make a copy of every keys? How do you know if the copy is synced with the main one?
Many states in the US have legalised buying and selling of marijuana. Many payment processors don't want to touch this, on neither the buying nor selling side.

You might declare marijuana vaguely shady, but as far as I can tell, it's a legitimate product that consenting adults might want to trade in.
Suppose one does trust their OS developers. And they want to use some passkey-protected service.

Does that service also have to trust the OS developers? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm under the impression that services can decide whose passkey implementations to trust.

Seems like that should be up to the user, not the service.
that doesn't explain why the paperwork takes so long at all.
It's the default model from the OpenAI API endpoint.
You mean that if you split a file you define another module when you declare it? That is only visible as a module at the level of declaration not beyond.

Also note that modules are not per se compile units.

In any system you aim to stabilize you don’t want unregulated factors with exponential effects.
I assume this is referring to the passwordless logon feature, which most enterprises disable. But with this feature, you just need to enter the username (email address) and choose the option to log in with authenticator.

Regarding MFA-fatigue, this is mitigated by asking the user to enter the same number into Authenticator that is displayed on the login screen. So that takes away the chance of accidentally approving an MFA prompt.
I think he has it backwards where this person lives and commutes. I spent 15 years living in Columbus and the idea that you would live in the very heart of the city and commute out to Washington Courthouse, a very small drive-by town (population of only 14k people!) in the huge rural expanse outside Columbus, is kind of bonkers. Columbus cost of living (especially in the heart of it) is much, much higher than WC so you'd be spending tons of money and commuting a couple hours a day for no good reason.

I suspect this person lives in WC and works in downtown Columbus, like at Nationwide Insurance or one of other big corporate employers there, or perhaps they even work at the statehouse for the state government located there. They're probably doing their business in the office every day since they're spending most waking hours there during the week (and naturally get into a regular schedule).

This would make a LOT more sense as the cost to live outside Columbus is significantly cheaper while commuting in isn't that bad (there are tons of highways all around and into the city). Perhaps this person even works a lower wage or benefit service job there and has no real healthcare benefits, paid time off, etc. to help them take care of health issues they might be suffering from a persistent COVID infection--more reason why they'd be living in a cheap town on the outskirts of the city and commuting in to their job downtown.
This is wildly false, see https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/143ugg4/comment/j... as a real world example of a gaming PC you can buy right now for $2,600 which is the top of the crop and an absolutely wild gaming machine that's vastly better at gaming than $5,000 M2 Ultra Mac Studio even if the comparisons are done only in games that actually work and work well on the Mac.

If you were after a comparable experience with the fastest Macs on Earth you could configure a PC that's another $1,000 cheaper than that ($1,600).
High profile journals like Nature already require code and have relatively detailed guidelines for submission [1]. They also have detailed guidelines for statistics, e.g. you must report control parameters when using MCMC.

My experience in Nature, Science, and Cell, both as a submitter and as a reviewer, is that problems tend to be in the way inference is done. I don't think people lie with their code. They lie with the way they do inference, but inference tends to be faithfully implemented as code.

For example, the null hypothesis tends to be false almost all the time. So, it is a matter of accumulating a sufficient amount of data to get a small enough p-value to call the result "significant". Solution, encourage designs with a continuous explanatory variable, emphasize effect sizes, use partial pooling / shrinking, etc. And perhaps hire technical editors that get the right to veto flawed methods.

I live about 2 miles from my work. The campus is beautiful. The building are gorgeous. The work environment is top notch. Between my house and campus is a nice 15 minute bike ride on paths through forests. It’s quite a nice and easy ride. Or I could drive there in about the same amount of time.

I hate it. I completely refuse to go in. I am working from home until they fire me.
A bit of that, and the fact Avast got caught just a few years ago massively spying on all their users and selling their data both in their browser extension and free anti-virus apps.
I guess you work in the wrong location then. I see people taking their kids to work quite often.

Do you mean "garden" in the American sense (an area for growing food and/or decorative plants), or in the British sense (what American's would call a "lawn" or "yard")?
On the one hand, in general with raw bitcoin, you can't.

On the other hand, you can only lose the bitcoins you actually have.

> even though my prompt mentioned nothing coding related.

I've noticed this trend before in chatGPT. I once asked it to keep a count of every time I say "how long has it been since I asked this question", and instead it gave me python code for a loop where the user enters input and a counter is incremented each time that phrase appears.

I think they've put so much work into the gimmick that the AI can write code, that they have overfit things and it sees coding prompts where it shouldn't.

It may not be a single person, but the individual(s) being infected exhibiting the same movement patterns would certainly be living together in close contact, and the lack of community spread supports the group of patients being very small, possibly just an individual.
So, full-on gaslighting efforts by reddit.
I'd presume they have already been at Google before, but Google wanted them to not be at the Chelsea office in NYC (the walkable one) but instead in Mountain View. So this is more an existing disagreement with the employer.

I almost thought you were serious for a moment.

Sadly cubicles aren't very soundproof or private (but they are still better than open plan for people who need to concentrate or focus.)

University libraries tend to be somewhat open plan, though sometimes with study carrels, and students manage to get work done there. However they also typically quiet environments as well, there are no supervisors walking around, and falling asleep may be socially acceptable. The density might be better in some cases as well.
Fermenting on a tiny scale in a lab is fundamentally different than fermenting on a commercial production scale. Basic calculations of energy density + small experiments support the assertion, but without a working larger scale production that can consistently yield ethanol (i.e. preventing the bacteria responsible from being displaced by wild strains, yeast or other fungi, ensuring batches run to completion, etc) it's nothing but a prediction.

I found using Firefox containers (new tabs get new empty containers, sites I use often get their own separate containers but always the same ones so I don’t have to login every time) + ublock origin means that accepting cookies doesn’t matter as much anymore. Because once I close the tab, the container is destroyed and so are the cookies, and the various ad and analytics servers were not getting data anyway because uBo was blocking them.

Turns out the user was spamming. Shocking, I know.
The sprawl of providers contains a lot of stale forks and copies, and on top of that its not easy to say “let’s just use John Smiths provider to setup the root credentials of our new K8S cluster because Hashicorp aren’t fixing issues we care about.

I use a few third party providers and the quality difference is wildly variable, the update cadence is sporadic and unreliable on average, and not wanting to build scripts and tools is why maintaining my own terraform providers forked fro hashicorp isn’t really viable time wise either.
