One of my most giggle inducing experiences at Revolver was a guy who’d bought a whole huge bunch on bananas from the fruit shop downstairs on a Sunday morning. I watched him shimmy and dance his way past the couches and decks, handing out bananas as he went. As he approached the bar all he had left was the one he was eating, so he put the last piece in his mouth and gave two guys leaning against the bar his empty skin.

They must’ve been on LSD, because it seemed like the most amazing thing they’d ever seen. The spent minutes holding up and gazing at it in wonder. Before dropping it on the floor and taking it in turns trying to slide on it like a cartoon character would (but barely moving a centimetre). Two trippers just having the absolute time of their lives while the rest of the chaos continued around them, everyone oblivious to it.
According to the recent data of Berlin government, high property prices and scarcity of affordable apartments are one of the reasons for labor shortage in public sector here. In order to fill the vacancies they need to significantly increase the salaries increasing burden for taxpayers. IMO causal link here is pretty obvious: if a teacher cannot afford living in the city, they won’t work in that city as teachers and either find a different job or leave.
The same thing is happening everywhere in the world, where teacher or social salaries aren’t high enough.

Voluntary social alienation can definitely be caused by trauma, I think that's what the person your reply to implied

Tooltips and fixed dropdowns pinned to the position of page elements are already fairly trivial to do... so are modals... so are dialog boxes... so are every other thing that needs to "Pop Up" on your webpage. I predict a very fast death spiral for this tag, in which 99% of the uses will be obnoxious.

You know how, uh, ad blockers used to be called "popup blockers"?

There's an order, a z-indexing that creates a syntax and a hierarchy in everything you build. Sometimes you have to jump it with absolute positioning. Which already exists for this exact purpose.

CSS itself has suffered from this same line of thinking, like, "what if something has to override a class and override a style, should we call it !important? Yeah!"

No. Personal liability is fine.
Honestly a bit crazy to me, seems to be creating this interesting exception, as if we all know most of these delivery workers aren't necessarily thinking like contractors. To me, setting a minimum wage for a particular kind of independent contractor is odd. It's almost as if its a détente between the city and the delivery app middlemen as far as employment goes.

If so, it's interesting as its technically an even higher in your pocket minimum wage, as most minimum wage workers can't deduct most their expenses as these workers will be able.

Are there any other lobbies or groups you're aware of that have a separate minimum wage from the standard enshrined into law, rather than a contract/negotiation?
> We have no evidence of increased rate of incidence of ALS, which you would expect to see given how many people were vaccinated.

What data do we have on the incidence of ALS between 2019 and now?

Even pre-2019, there appears to be a slight increase in incidence of ALS over time, although not statistically significant [0] – which could mean the increase isn't real, but could also mean it is real but studies thus far have lacked the statistical power to confirm it.

So, if it is true that ALS incidence is increasing anyway, the question then must be–has the rate of increase accelerated since 2019? I'm not aware of any published data on that topic. Furthermore, there is also some evidence that COVID-19 infection can be a trigger for onset of ALS in susceptible individuals, [1] so even if there is some pandemic-associated acceleration in incidence increase, it may be difficult to disentangle to what extent it is due to infection versus vaccination.

> You linked to a single case report. It does not establish any type of causal link at all.

A case report – even a single one – is evidence. Only weak evidence, but even weak evidence is evidence. Certainly not strong enough to establish anything - but a single case report is enough to increase the epistemic probability, even if only by a little bit. Establish is more systematic review of multiple high quality studies territory, which is at the opposite end of the strength of evidence spectrum from case reports.

I think we are likely talking about something with a rather small effect size. With a sufficiently small effect size, something can be entirely real but also impossible in practice to statistically demonstrate.

> It's perfectly reasonable that the Coinbase S1 doesn't include any descriptions of activities that are illegal, and for Coinbase to subsequently start doing illegal things. They even list this risk in the S1!

It's also possible for the Coinbase S1 to contain descriptions of things that are currently not known to be illegal, and which subsequently become illegal, without any changes on Coinbase's part.

They also list this risk in the S1 as well!
Apple Silicon is low-power low-end laptop hardware. Of course their I/O capabilities are limited, because their users do not need lots of I/O. If you are looking for stuff with lots of I/O capabilities you have to buy proper server hardware.
You don't need vue or react. Just get the x/y coords of the child relative to the parent and attach the dropdown element in an absolute position to those.

We should not compare the magnitude of suffering based on race, sex or sexual orientation. That is how you divide people. That is how you alienate them.

I may be confused here. But to my understanding, the role of the executive branch is to enforce laws.

In this situation, there exists a law that was passed by Congress. Coinbase is breaking that law. Is it not the executive branch's role to enforce that law?

I've installed the Swedish version of the sequel (https://sv.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pettson_o_Findus_och_mucklor...) on my Linux desktop. Used Lutris configured with Proton and that worked great. Had to change some resolution settings but otherwise pretty seamless.

Also tried it on macOS with only wine, and that crashed during installation.

Otherwise Windows XP VM works for pretty much all games.
Ask HN: Is there a good camping chair that is comfortable for programming?
We are getting really good weather in Sweden right now and I'd love to be able to sit and work comfortably in a park and got the idea that I should invest in a folding camping chair.

There is quite a lot of folding chairs and since this is a first for me, would love to know if someone else have done this research.

What I would love in my folding camping chair is

* Comfortable

* High quality

* Small size when folded down

* Adjustable

* Dream feature: Built in sun-shade :)
If you add multiple GPUs to the same PCIe switch, their bandwidth to main memory of the SOC will be shared. For some use cases that bandwidth was already the bottle neck.
Can't win a race with a moving finish line. It's never enough, we always want more

We could live completely on renewable energy if we lived like our grandparents, we don't do it, because we want more, more food, more gadgets, more services more entertainment, more tech, more money, more health, &c. it never ends, because we don't have a goal. "get healthier and richer", the vaguest goal you can come up with
It is perfectly possible to have an altruist and a business agenda in the same space. That's how most non-profits operate - they have a revenue stream (donations, trust funds, etc), they pay operational expenses including salaries for the staff that keep the machine running (just like a company), and funnel the rest for their specific activities.

The only real difference (besides taxation) between a non-profit and a regular company is the distribution of dividends - companies may slice profits directly between their shareholders, and non-profits cannot do this. MrBeast seems to be rebooting the non-profit enterprise with a broader approach and leveraging modern revenue streams - such as ads - instead of the traditional guilt-trip of shocking images or statements to pressure you to donate.

It's a business? Yes. Does it help people? It seems so. To the people arguing it is localized and sparse: so what? Like it or not, they are changing the world - not only those that are reached by them, but also those that are inspired to pursue similar enterprises.
Why couldn't this be accomplished through tags? For example instead of going to the /r/digitalnomad subreddit, you can view the digital nomad tag (https://zsync.xyz/t/digitalnomad)

I agree that there's still value in private subreddit style communities, but I believe that that could co-exist with tags.

Ultimately it's a tradeoff. Without tagging you have to figure out which subreddits to post in, potentially cross-posting in tons of different subreddits, fragmenting discussion. With tagging you only need to post once, but a single tag feels less like a "community". I guess personally I never really felt any real sense of community from any subreddits (unlike the old phpBB forums), so the sacrifice made sense to me to keep discussion in one place. But this would only work well if the site can actually foster balanced, intelligent discussion and debate across the spectrum (otherwise just becomes the PC hivemind dump that is the mainstream subreddits like /r/politics), which Reddit has proven incapable of over the last decade - ending up fostering extreme communities like /r/TheDonald as a backlash to the PC hivemind + censorship in the rest of the site.
You already can't add GPUs but since there's only 16 real lanes and a GPU can use 16 lanes it could cause issues.

I would think this would lead to bottlenecks for instance if you were trying to write to two different 16x PCIe SSD RAID cards simultaneously.
There must be. Since there is a finite amount of real world reward signal captured by these models, there can only be a finite amount of grounded knowledge that can come out. Usually without reasoning, the output knowledge "yield" will be far lower than input.

The interesting piece is if we can get LLMs to reason well, that finite reward capture can take LLMs much farther than possibly humans could do with the same signal.
> I spend approximately no time per day judging others or interrogating my social status. I of course think about other people, but there are many ways to think about others. There are many ways to think about yourself.

Agreed; I can't think of a more boring way to spend my time. However, their writing allowed me to finally model why overt racists might spend their time being racist: self-gratification.

Either way, it honestly blows my mind to find out people spend their time thinking about social hierarchy this much; go use that time to create something instead ffs.

In the same sense, UNICEF could start making reality charity porn and use the proceedings for charity. Would people accept that, is that ethical? No. Their public campaigns are sensitive and don't slather the faces of hungry children on youtube for advertisers.

Don't use custom font sizes in your blog.
It's relatively easy to force your custom stylesheets to any website. Whether it will work at all is another question.

I believe what you suggest could work only with semantic HTML without any advanced styling - no floating elements, no flexbox/grid, no absolute/relative positioning etc. This then means return to static text based websites which is fine for many use cases, but not for all.

Ideally, rich web apps which actually need all the CSS/APIs could use them, while the text-based sites would keep custom styling/JS to minimum (which would allow reasonable user-defined styling). But it's impossible to force this dichotomy in practice.

The problem with trauma as an explanatory model is is that if you dig deep enough, pretty much anyone has had life experiences that may be characterized as traumatic. And even if you find someone who hasn't, they've clearly lead such a sheltered life that it's a sort of trauma on its own.

Because of this, childhood trauma is a sort of universal explanation that will explain things even outside of psychology, everything from wheat allergy to male pattern baldness. You bet there's trauma in there somewhere causing it.
IMHO, "Inflation" is false theory, because it doesn't obey law of conservation of energy.

If no inflation, then no Big Bang, so our Visible Universe is much older.

If our Universe is much older, then life evolved multiple times already. Red stars are shallow gravity wells, so they are primary target of an expansive civilization, because it easy to enter/exit them, so they are colonized first and their light is captured fully.
Congrats on making it through and getting the injection. I did Suboxone for a couple years, the Sublocade injection for a few more, and then I stopped my Sublocade ~5 months ago.

My total clean time is almost 7 years now. I wish more people knew about Sublocade and Buvidal. I always tell people that opioid addiction pretty much has a cure these days but they are so hesitant to start the injections because they never heard of it.
> First of all, the OS does not style widgets, the browser does.

This goes beyond scrollbars. There are hundreds (thousands?) of libraries or entire frameworks to build consistent dropdowns. Even more to create date-pickers and to replace alert dialogs, add modals, and whatnot.

This shows that the browsers don't do a good job offering nice and neat UX on them. Same for scrollbars. Browsers offer native dropdowns (that more-or-less match your OS - depending on browser and OS), datepickers (that at least match your locale) and even native alert dialogs. And many are ugly as hell, have a terrible UX or integrate very poorly. IMO fair points. And often even reasons to replace the native widgets with tons of JS, CSS and dom manipulation. Edit: though I don't think this is the case for scrollbars, I think browsers do a good enough job there.

The one reason that I very much disagree with, it cross-browser or cross-platform consistency. No-one cares that widgets on your website or -app are the same on chrome/windows, icebeaver/weirdlinux and safari/OSX. Because no-one other than the webdeveloper and -designer will ever use them on all those platforms and expect everything to look the same on all these platforms.

The theory they’re talking about is not just curve fitting. Instead only pieces which match the physics of QCD / the Standard Model Are included. It is simple to write down terms that you might include in a “just make up enough terms until it fits” methods that are excluded based on the requirements of symmetry matching that the whole program of EFT is organized around.
Bad example, really. Tools do matter.

I can think of many use cases that may be non trivial to get running. For example, if crypto had a privacy layer, which a lot of people are working on right now, it could easily enable a secondary market in digital goods, subscriptions etc. Imagine you bought a 1 year subscription to something which is locked behind some credentials. 2 months down the line you feel you're not using it a lot and would like to get some of your money back by trading those credentials. Crypto networks would enable a secondary market for those. Sure it can be done with web2 but crypto presents another possible solution.

It could also be a way to organise open source software communities around paid work that can incentivise activity around the preferences of the donor, in addition to the current model of free volunteer work. Even NFTs could be used as an abstraction for the access of digital properties. Their popular use for distributing art became a limiting distraction.

10 years since BTC is hardly enough time for anything. As more sophisticated features are developed for the underlying networks, good use cases will come. A lot of oxygen was sucked out by use cases involving speculative investment.

The gambling aspect of crypto is never going away and I don’t think its a problem. Some responsibility has to be taken by the people who chose to trust scammers with their money. In fact at the height of the NFT craze people who are public influencer types were openly scamming and rug pulling marks on fucking youtube. How many of them got arrested? It is right to ask for action against criminals. But instead of that you have US government agencies trying to shut down an entire sector of commerce just because some guy made important people in seats of power look bad. None of this is being done to protect the people who lost money.

I don't think crypto is valuable for things like poverty alleviation etc. That is a challenge which has to be taken up by individual countries. Anyone who says crypto is going to save the world should be looked at with as much scepticism as the tech founders 10 years back who were claiming to do the same thing.

Crypto is super interesting technology that is one of the few tools that can fight the inexorable oligarchization and centralisation of all things in this world. It can make a lot of people very rich by providing them with opportunities that wouldn’t be possible under the current system of monopolies and governments controlling access to everything. For that reason it doesn’t deserve to die.

In any case, SEC can only set back the adoption of crypto networks in the US. But as tech proliferates around the world, cutting crypto off from the home of “tech” will not kill crypto. It just pushes the timetable back a little bit.
Actually, no. It only limits the available I/O bandwidth to those GPU(s), that is, data transfers from and to the CPU will be far slower. You'll notice in games when the "loading next level" screen takes longer, that's usually a large geometry and texture copy to the GPU.

As an extreme example, when and where it was/is still viable, cryptocurrency mining operations use external PCIe cases with lots of slots, attached to only a few or even just one lane per case. For their purpose this was still viable, since mining uses very little I/O from/to the GPU, essentially only a small block of setup data into the GPU ("try hashing this block, vary those bytes within that range, report when result matches this pattern", a few kB) and a few bytes of results out ("found a match, varied bytes were as follows").
