> In fact, most liberal democracies are at odds with Russia, Iran, China

What's a liberal democracy? Oh you mean our vassals are at odds with the countries we are at odds with? I find that odd.

What is the "liberal democracies" problem with russia, iran, china and the mexican cartels. Take ireland for example. What's their beef with russia, iran, china and the mexican cartels?

Oh they have no beef. It's just that they have to follow orders. We say jump and they say how high. Maybe one day, these liberal democracies will be liberated and regain their sovereignty. Hey maybe russia, iran, china and the mexican cartels can help liberate them.

The thing about propaganda is how silly it gets.
“ Traffic and sales at other Westfield properties increased during the same period.”

This clearly shows there is demand but people prefer to go somewhere else. San Francisco is becoming worse day by day with crime and city maintenance. But mayor wants to somehow not show any link with this and conveniently says it is long coming.
The privacy Americans previously enjoyed came for free and so contemporary Americans don't value it. The government OTOH places tremendous value on it so the natural result is what we see. It will continue to be eroded.

Unfortunately from what I see in history it's not usually until people are having trouble feeding their families that the people seize power back from government and short of that nothing will change. Ideological movements not related to our Maslow's-hierarchy-of-needs do come up and cause change but they're the exception and I'm not holding my breath.

HN crowd is more enlightened than most and I still see widespread hook-line-and-sinker consumption of 100% corrupt corporate media narratives on here.
There's a curve

Now that I have i3/Sway configured as I like, I'm fast. Too fast, deliberately narrating what I'm doing when sharing my screen

It didn't start this way. I was painfully slow until building enough familiarity and tweaks (ie: this window class opens on this workspace)

As others have pointed out, it's easy to spend more time than you save. Spend effort on 'constants' -- I always want this here, and then build your workspaces on login

That's saved me the most effort and time
I believe the GameStop stock cult was mostly created by Ryan Cohen, an entrepreneur with a substantial social media following. He bought the distressed stock a few years ago and came up with the idea of transforming the retailer into some kind of next-generation game distributor.

The plan included hiring a bunch of expensive Amazon execs, selling NFTs, and other very 2021 boom-time ideas that don’t seem to be working out too well.
I may have missed it, but the article doesn't discuss privacy or if the questions/answers can be used for training purposes. Using Chat GPT for government stuff isn't, in itself, a problem, but those assurances have to be iron clad, or you could see massive information leakage.
Maps are like script handwriting. Obsolete in practice and it's a shame. Both offer real advantages. Both are not worth the effort compared to modern tools. It makes me sad.

But, it also reminds me that I have intended to own a comprehensive atlas for backup purposes, after the apocalypse (or I break my phone). Gonna do that today.
A single beam LIDAR would suffer the same problem.

That is, the radar was accurate, the problem was the team hadn't foreseen the probe flying over such a deep crater, thus the threshold for failing the sensor in case of a sudden large change in apparent altitude was set too low.

This is why I suggested a visual-based sensor, since it would be using a very different measuring scheme, and one which could also be used to cross-check the IMU data.
Are you arguing that they are equivalent to drugs?
That’s kind of funny. In my area, they were in the process of finishing off Electronics Boutique while I was growing up, so they were always the villain.

Hopefully some little indie game stores will have a little more room to breathe.
That's at the nub of it! Do you volunteer at the soup kitchen to help people? Or to make yourself feel something? If the latter, that's a form of tourism and maybe a little lower on the totem pole of noble actions.

A boyfriend (long gone) of my niece did a form of this. He got a Stanford Engineering degree then volunteered at soup kitchens etc. She dumped him. A waste of his life and her emotional investment, in her view.
Non-Americans are obviously not subject to US law. However unfortunately most countries have patent/copyright/dmca-like legislation for no reason whatsoever
Ayn Rand was very down on charity. Someone giving money to a soup kitchen to make the lives of poor people better would be a "second hander" who let their self esteem get wrapped up in the lives of others. By contrast, it's not obvious what problem Ayn Rand would have with someone spending an hour of their time at a soup kitchen simply to be seen to be charitable for some selfish benefit, though in practice I don't think she'd like that either.
I like Yojimbo on Mac, but for the life of me I can't figure out why their iPad app is read only still. I understood it when it first came out, but they added all kinds of features on the Mac version, such as iCloud sync, but the iPad app still only syncs via local network only, and it can't edit anything, and doesn't take advantage of things like web views.

Weirdly behind feature set still
What Credible UFO Evidence?
They could proceed but cease operations in the UK, I'm not sure exactly what that would look like. I guess using a local distributor like they did with NetEase in China?

It would be pretty crazy, but it's not impossible. They aren't going to pull out of the USA though.
I hope more monopolies get busted
The idea is to be more efficient with harvesting it into electricity and beaming it down in wavelengths less absorbed by the atmosphere.

It also allows for power production without weather getting in the way. So in some hypothetical space solar based future, a rainy region might still be able to rely on solar by having energy beamed down to a farther out station.

Although yeah, there's so much room down here to place panels that doing it from space is probably not economically worthwhile just yet.
A real mint julep, which I had the pleasure of drinking in New Orleans, is bruised fresh peppermint on the bottom, crushed ice, filled up with premium bourbon, and a dash of peach liqueur. No water and no sugar.

It's a great drink.
I mentally put Ruby / Rails and Python with Flask / Django (and also “neo” PHP) in the same category vs all of the 70 million JS frameworks. When you talk about alternatives, what are the major ones you have in mind?
Hardly. I think the point is that you don't even have to play the game: the signals you send could be null as much as they could be something that you dedicate a lot of time and effort toward.
Agreed. I find this useful too. Especially for random stuff I use once a year.
Are you suggesting php and JS are stealing from what would've otherwise been ruby projects? I've been a ruby dev for a decade and I've never heard of a ruby shop migrating to using php for new work and maybe one or two moving to JS for new work. It's golang and elixir that are taking the place of ruby for new work in my experience. I suspect some python too, but I haven't seen that.
It does indeed have working print functionality. As you say, it's on macOS and so this automatically means it has PDF export.

I'll admit I've never used said print functionality, so I can't rule out that it's missing something that some people consider important.
> Poor observability: Most tools keep you in the dark without knowing what really happened after you sent an email. Resend exposes all the events associated with your email via webhooks.

I can't think of a single email platform I've used as an email marketer/crm marketer for a decade that didn't expose a full event stream for all emails.
Id be interested in why courts believe that it is not. Is it because it's at the level of signals rather than correlated to people?
If people could do this conciously, we wouldn’t need this article.
I disagree, and I want to try to say this in the least cringey and New Age-y way possible, bear with me. Your limited sensory experience indicates you are the “center of your life” - that you are some spirit in your head, inhabiting a body that bumps into other bodies, etc. When you grow up you gain an awareness of other people having this experience alongside you. Sometimes it’s possible to reorient your understanding of this experience away from “I” and towards “we” and to broaden the scope of what “your” life is about. This would mean things like considering your family or community the “center of your life” which I think is considerably better happiness wise than the naive egoism that we take as the (Very American) default setting for life.
> In our society, this common currency of expected utilons is called "money". It is the measure of how much society cares about something.

Price is the measure of how much someone cares about something; specifically with respect to how much they are willing to give up in order to get that something. While price is often recorded relative to units of currency, that does not make them equivalent.

Currency, or "money", is an IOU. It is used when one does not have present value available to make a trade, but offers future value in exchange for something of present value. In the future, one can redeem currency for something of value, ultimately satisfying the trade made.

SES has a terrible developer experience.

We use it and don't plan on switching for a few reasons, but I would not recommend it to most folks.
Hmm this seems unrelated to me - why not implement Johnny decimal around or within git repos? And what about it would change if used for cloud directories instead of local ones?

Probably just missing something obvious!
What is this doing in the first example in the readme?

As a Mac user, I'd expect that to launch a web browser, but it appears to be downloading and parsing the JSON?
The TSA already has your travel data from the airline PNR database [1], which stores your travel data for five years, after which it is moved to cold storage for another ten years. PNR is a contributing system as to how the TSA can provide identity proofing at the checkpoint with only an ID now, versus previously needing your boarding pass [2].

These are governance issues, not technology issues. TSA using facial recognition is no different than an agent comparing you to your ID (except that the automated system increases throughput), depending on what the exception process looks like.

Simulations of Brownian motion are not stochastic though, they are deterministic if you fix their random seed, right?
To be clear this looks like Ryan Cohen continuing his purge of Gamestop. He's basically come in and cleaned house. Unfortunately despite the memestock hype, I think gamestop is a really boring story. They were a decent business that was in structural decline as brick and mortar died out, hedge funds got out over their skis shorting it because it clearly was dying - but in the short term the immediate revenues they had from imminent console releases meant they were way under valued. All that is over now though, the short squeeze happened, the revenue came in, they're still in structural decline. It's still way higher than it was, but it's still just looking at a short stream of cash flows and then bankruptcy and no NFT bullshit is going to save it.
Also paying off debt.
This sounds like just scraping information that openly available on the internet.

Isn’t Google search doing the exact same thing? Or their scraping with Bard?

And those are commercial products; this one is not. I would not start this fight if I were Google..
I don't know why, there are tons of smaller companies using it. I have a lot of languages and experience on my resume and the one that consistently gets me the most inquiries at the highest pay grades is still Ruby.

Anecdotal I know, but from the moment that it appeared on my resume in 2012 it's been non-stop. Probably 80% of everything I hear about.

Ruby and it's ecosystem brings the closest thing to natural Aspect Oriented Programming that I've seen in the wild, which is why it's so much more productive than everything else I've tried.
Right. The love of money is the root of all evil, not money itself.
Some other outlets reported that Microsoft and Activision were talking about completing the deal despite the UK regulator. The EU already gave it approval to happen, and the US hadn't specifically blocked it.

it's not the same if you think about it a bit more

an equivalent monetary example would be describing something which costs 79 cents as costing "79% of a dollar"

sounds weird no?
I prefer digital copies to physical, since in my experience the mean lifetime of digital storefronts is still longer than the mean time for me to misplace physical copies.
Resend seems to be a UI layer on top of SES, so it is probably not a competitor. People could use SES directly, but if the target group for Resend is a “modern front-end dev” then they probably do not want to, or do not know how to, and thus need that UI layer.

For example, I maintain a popular email sending library (Nodemailer) and if I could get a penny any time some user files an issue with something that is clearly basic for anyone who has ever even touched email, I would be quite wealthy. All these people are good match for a service like Resend, they just want to send mail for a reasonable price and do not care the slightest of what is going on under the hood.
I do wonder what the state of Google's stuff in 2021 was. Here's something produced by the 2020 version of GPT-3: https://www.aiweirdness.com/roses-are-red/

At that point, OpenAI was still fairly clearly at the babbling obvious nonsense phase; I would wonder was Google's stuff much better.

I also wonder if the original authors would have been surprised to learn that, by 2023, lawyers would be citing fake precedent made up by a machine. The progression to "dangerous nonsense" really does seem to have been worryingly fast.
Interfaces that play with the novel capabilities of LLM
And I still buy physical mostly (particularly for triple A and first party titles), for a number of reasons, so I hope that physical still remains for a while, despite the broader move to digital.

I used to fight this battle. I prefer physical, sure. But when I put the physical disc in, and theres a 25+gig download for the games patch or whatever it needs to update, I realized I'm fighting vs an opponent that doesn't exist. And I'm good not updating the game. But then I end up with an unfinished, sometimes buggy experience. I wish there was a physical vs digital fight, but really the companies that control it are not engaging in the battle.
There's a famous saying in chess: "all rook endings are drawn".

Of course, this isn't actually true. But it's a useful rule of thumb to just assume it's a draw unless you're sure it's a win, because it probably is, fucking somehow.
The algorithm at the end:

Start -> Open Folder -> End

In reality, natural language uses synonyms that often start with different letters. So without numbers, I still need to scan every directory one by one.

With numbers, I assign categories according to the phase of the process in which the item occurs. For example,

1 plans
|- A first draft
|- B Lisa's notes
`- C design
2 analysis
|- A exploratory
`- B design implementation
3 deliverables
|- A May 2023 report
|- B June 2023 presentation
`- C August 2023 report

I can limit my search to folders and items that are in the low/medium/high range, according to what I am looking for. But alphabetically sorted, this directory structure would look much more ad hoc:

analysis
|- design implementation
`- exploratory
deliverables
|- August 2023 report
|- June 2023 presentation
`- May 2023 report
plans
|- Lisa's notes
|- design
`- first draft

I’ve lived in Sydney most of my life. I suspect that it genuinely is partly because Australia, particularly NSW, did start off as a prison colony, and as a consequence our police force and legislature has always tended towards the conservative and oppressive. NSW is known is Aus as almost always having the most draconian rules for a given thing, compared to other states. NSW is the most populous state and has an outsized influence on federal politics.

Given that we’ve had a conservative (it was the “Liberal” party, but they’re basically like the US republicans) government for most of the last 25 years, it’s not surprising that these factors have come together to make Australia much more of a surveillance state than many of our neighbours.
This seems wild to me. Can you share examples of the complexity of the emails people are coding by hand?

This sounds like a pretty amazing art form if people are building cross-client compatible, rich, modern email designs with tables and inline styling.
The reason these houses are being bought is the exclusionary zoning which makes it impossible to build new ones. The housing market is not free, the government has set up extremely onerous regulations to ensure that housing always increases in value, of course investors will see that and want in. The solution here is obvious, stop writing zoning laws that ensure housing always gets more expensive.
I thought ASCII only used 7 bits for the basic set, which would be 128. The remaining 128 seems to be used for special or language specific characters, but varies somehow.
It's not "money" that's the root of all evil, it's "the love for money". It completely changes the meaning of the quote.
Oddly, I'd argue that normalization is often the "simplification" that is not accurate to how things are. Mayhap an example could show that I'm thinking of different ideas, here?

My gut is that I'm thinking of what is normally called "materialization" moreso than just "denormalization." The idea being that what is denormalized is largely read data, and doesn't offer direct editing of the items that are copied. I view this as a bit more realistic for a lot of scenarios, as well, as that is likely what is happening to the items being represented.

This is especially true for any inventory style database. There are physical things backing the data, such that if you have normalized the representation, you are doing a simplification for yourself in the data. You are not more accurately representing it.
> In spite of your attempts to cut off opposition, there are a lot of very well-reasoned arguments for the SEC's approach.

Which ones do you find convincing?
Hey this is my repo!

I'm happy to answer any questions arising.

I must say: the lists we offer — 31 variants in all — result from fine work by all our curators. Some are extremely diligent and maintain their lists every day. It's just remarkable what dedicated people can do together over time.
Do I need a reason other than curiosity? Asking for a rebuttal that isn't a personal attack is hardly defending. It should be the base level of discussion according to site guidelines.

I vaguely remember this was always a good trick when new big games had come out. Dedicated game store sold out? Check Target and Walmart ASAP, nobody is lining up outside Walmart for a game release, they might have a couple copies hanging around. Not guaranteed but better odds than you’d think.
Did not realize that POSIX after it was obsolete standardized commands ;) anyway.

But I get you. PowerShell is intended to harmonize server management and yours is a general purpose shell. Sounds like a very reasonable differentiation.

Do you write articles about how you make coreutils output structured? Is that a command specific adapter or how does that work?
I incorporated some of these ideas like 10-15 years ago.

My top level relations:

* Fun: Sex, drugs, rock & roll

* Home: Rent, buy, interior, yard, cars, places

* Meta: This system

* Mind: Philsophy, language, math, art, music, science

* Money: Accounts, investments, Bitcoin

* People: Family, friends, everyone

* Self: Fitness, health & illness, spirit, food, fashion

* Tools: Computing, devices, productivity, maker, crafts

* Work: Career, job

Roget's original thesaurus, which divides every word into 6 (or something) top-level relations was also an inspiration.

These are my root items in Workflowy (with its infinitely nested bullets).

I star active projects so they show up in the sidebar. I shift-drag (to mirror) items out of projects into the root (above the relations) to serve as my daily todo list. All in all, simple, efficient, and comprehensive.
There are a few weird stock cults; there is the one for Bed Bath and Beyond and the crazy one for Sears. Gamestop is nuts but slightly less so than those two.

I look forward to the documentary that clarifies why these seem so much more numerous than I remember from 20 years ago.
How about Untether?

This is a common fallacy, since "society" doesn't care unless it is made to care by the people that makes it up.

Unless there is combined social pressure to care, the most psychopathic among us will always delegate the social responsibility to those who are "soft-hearted" and choose to hoard their money or spend it in a self-centered way.

The rationalists always make this mistake, intentionally or unintentionally, to take the average person and think that that's all there is in society.

Could they make a constellation of geostationary satellites that send energy down via a cable?

> GPS directions are the minutia, and if you follow directions at that scale, its VERY easy to become disoriented or lost. In contrast, if you just quickly scan the larger map features (position of a big mountain, the freeway, a large park boundary, etc, you can mostly navigate without the GPS at all.

Yes I find that even driving, if I follow Apple or Google maps navigation I'll realize that I have no clear idea how to get back to where I started. Back in the days when I'd have to look at a paper street map and plot my own course in advance, I'd have a much better sense of where I was and how to backtrack.

Ask HN: Dang, are you seeing a spike in traffic?
With the whole reddit meltdown, I (personally, myself) have browsed HN several times today, I usually just do it at the beginning of the day.
