The idea that there is a "typical hunter-gatherer" across all of human history and geography, and that we know what that is -- is I think a fundamental problem with a lot of these theories.

Someone studies one group of people at one (modern) time and place -- a group of people who probably don't even exclusively "forage" for their food and other economic activity now as encountered -- and then they, or their readers, assume that what they found is somehow typical of everyone they assign to the category "hunter gatherer", and further assume what people at what other times and places are "correctly" assigned to that category too.
Sorry whete are you missing agency and privacy? It’s desktop first software you can back it up and pretty much sync it as you like.

Specifically regarding Obsidian it’s just a folder full of plain text markdown files, doesn’t get much more portable than that.

Yeah, mobile really sucks for this compared to the 90s and 00s desktop experience. It really feels like a step backwards; at least you could delete things from the StartUp folder on Windows 98.
Rebuild code without changing also means learning.
It doesn't end there, i also valid it's reproducible, which is good for the sake of software freedom and also security.

"Simply rebuilding code, without adding value or changing it in any way, represents a real threat to open source companies everywhere. This is a real threat to open source, and one that has the potential to revert open source back into a hobbyist- and hackers-only activity."
You quite likely can? Especially if you go to a non-Apple, but Apple-authorized repair shop -- they'll have access to the parts, and will likely be willing to do it.

It might be an integrated component though? ie. you might need to pay for a new screen, not just the rubber?
Indeed, democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what's for lunch. It's just an unusual and new idea to see young people as a minority as this never was the case to this extend.

As it comes to housing though, I remain convinced that the issue is not as political as many make it out to be. See my other comment:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36486626

Meaning, even if the young seize more political power, there isn't going to be a law they can pass that says "cut rent in half".
From how I understand it:

That is exactly how material scientists study the grain structure and crack propagation. If the crack joint is too small, it acts as a lever. This is why you fillet and chamfer a joint in a designed part, but the concept works down to the molecular level. The holes you are talking about are points of stress relief, without them, the crack can continue to travel through the material, amplifying the forces.

Fiberglass isn't strong because the material is special, it is stronger because the imperfections in it have been removed due to surface tension self organizing the impurities away (that would form cracks) during the remelt.

The polymer structure in the linked article is not unlike a fiberglass+epoxy composite.

OIDC doesn't increase lock in.

Before, I had to (for example) generate AWS credentials, download them, and store them in GitHub Actions.

But now, I can have GitHub Actions be directly authorized to access resources in AWS.

The only "lock in" is that these two services support an open protocol that would be minorly annoying to give up.

It's for 1-day attacks I'd imagine. Especially for python, once the patch is public threat actors can abuse it but they can embargo the cve and offer private patches for commercial customers early to avoid that scenario.

I found "a monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors" the most useful explanation of monads. I didn't know what an endofunctor—or a moniod—was when I read it, but it gave me some hooks for research. Other explanations using analogies just left me confused, and nothing further I could look into.

Though that said, I revised that explanation after the others did not help me, so maybe I had absorbed enough context.
Hello, Conductr. We now have one in Denver, and one waiting for a photographer on Seattle. The Seattle person is in this thread. He has a two million dollar home. If he is right, and the home sells, he will save $100K. Several more assking questions. We didn't expect to have any for a month or two. It will ramp up, slowly at first, tben begin to accelerate and scale. Hopefully. Doing a few things behind the scenes to throw a little gas on the fire.
I pulled into the 76 on Walker Road & 185th a few weeks back at around 7PM on a weeknight. Every single pump was locked up, and as I looked around, a kid hollered from right next to the car wash, "Sorry, we're closed! Not enough staff!".

First and only time I've encountered a full station closed, but it blew my mind, having grown up in Washington and never having an issue pumping gas because an attendant wasn't there. Really happy it looks like I'll be able to start pumping my own again.
Heh, a while back my phone went and died on me and I needed to get a new phone immediately so I could 2fa into stuff for work.

I went out and got the cheapest android phone I could find just temporarily. I can’t remember exactly what it was, but it was clear that whatever crummy little SoC they put in there was hardly capable of running the OS version they struck on it.

Often, the phone would lock up, but in a strange way. Only the rendering would freeze. There were several times an app would appear to completely lock up, and I would try to press the lock button of even restart it, but whatever app froze was still stuck on the screen, at least until it finally got going again and I realized that whatever frustrating tapping I was doing hit the emergency call button before the Lock Screen had even rendered. I had to explain to the operator about 5-6 times before I went and got a new phone.
I'm unfortunately inclined to look at it from the negative side -- Its more like they don't like writing it down and/or having a paper trail of some sort. Its hard to achieve that when you have to schedule a virtual meeting or type up an email. Even a phone call leaves a record of there being interaction. They don't want THAT and I see that happening in corp culture to. If its not on a person's calendar, in a discussion thread, or there wasn't an email then it didn't happen and there is plausible deniability. Its like the madmen method of the board room back deals is being taken away from them and its too difficult to let go.
Last time I bought a kettle my wife did her nut because I went for the 20 quid option rather than spending £80 on some prop from a lifestyle magazine, however I maintain that my reasoning was sound - all modern kit is indeed built with a depressingly imminent obsolescence, to which price point confers only limited immunity, and this is exacerbated by the brutal hardness of London water, which will scale and calcify any appliance that so much as looks at it.
Nothing to imagine, I am certain that there are 100s of thousands of such devices, and even if their design intent is not malicious they are typically security nightmares.

Hey HN!

For those new to Rails, Stimulus (https://stimulus.hotwired.dev/) is a way to sprinkle frontend javascript code into your Rails views.

I held off using Stimulus in my Rails apps for a long time because I didn't understand it — the data= attributes looked weird, and the connection between my Rails views and Stimulus javascript controllers was confusing.

So I decided to write the guide I wish I had when I was learning Stimulus.

Hope you enjoy it! I'm happy to answer any questions, feel free to ask any.

Thanks, Harrison

>Well the triple U (not sure why they use that)

The machine works a bit weirdly, in that as you find some correct settings, your results converge towards the legible result. You can get 95% of the settings correct, and produce quite legible results, at which point you stop solving. So the correct result there might actually be any other three char combo like "ABC" or "UAK", but the analyst stopped investigating, because the rest of the message was reasonably legible.
>You're joining to become one extra cog in a large machine that is past its prime.

yada yada

>You will have little agency and impact, and your only opportunity for a decent compensation will be based on internal politics rather than technical merit.

Yes, you have little impact (unless you go up on the ladder), but you're working on products that serve the whole world.

That's quite a few order of magnitude more than working in yet another startup creating web-shop or niche app.

I'm not even at FAANG level of corpos and I really can say that I'm putting tiny bricks into really interesting products.

The work itself is pretty boring, but products as a whole are impressive as hell.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that corpos are great and startups sucks,

but when you're talking about companies that hire 50k, 100k, 200k or more people and just call them places where you're just "cog" and there's nothing exciting about the job then I think you're just naive
So… as I understand it… this is about Bluetooth beacons.

Bluetooth, it to require locations because if you passed by a beacon and an app is registered to the OS to watch it, that that is the same as reporting your location.

Your phone said “hey, app that the user installed, you know that BLE device you told me to watch for? Saw it just now!”

So it’s not it doesn’t make sense. Bluetooth low energy can be used to determine your location so you should have to give it permission.

The problem is… No one knows this.

It’s not even like there’s a solvable problem, because you don’t have to be using the Bluetooth low energy beacon format for this, you just need to be able to scan for advertising BLE devices which the OS does all time. Remember the rush to turn Covid Tracking on (Covid is over, but those changes aren’t going away).

This is how Tile and the Apple Tags that killed them work. Those are just roaming beacons.

Tons of apps that you install for major retailers, Home Depot, Target, Walmart, Best Buy all know exactly when you walk in the store if you have their app on an location services given into it.

Don’t install apps. Not unless you have to. Then questionable permissions aren’t an issue.
Nathan: Language Lessons with an Extraordinary Ape
They are not too complex to use. They had low ROI and not much differentiation.
Oh, I understand. However, the problem is that many companies are inundated with low-quality, puffed up resumes, and it's truly hard to find people that are actually qualified, especially if they're not doing any work to make themselves available.

I would add that I don't think you should think of it as "guilty-until-proven-innocent"; it's just the reality that you are competing with large numbers of amoral people who will lie to get a job. This is much less about culture match than you think.
Do you work for a non profit?
The world your typical hunter gatherer lived in was remarkably different than today. So much more flora and fauna. Actual functioning ecosystems versus disrupted ones. The world today is so bizarrely different than even the world 500 years ago all thanks to our farming, hunting, and resource gathering over the years.
In Britain stopping (to load/unload the car, or to park) at a pedestrian crossing is worth a £100 fine and ¼ of the driving licence 'lost' (do this four times within 3 (?) years and you're banned from driving and must retake the driving test). This is similar to passing a red light, or going slightly faster than the speed limit, though I think they have a larger fine.

I'm not sure what the penalty would be for overtaking a car stopped at a crossing. In theory it's the same, but in practise I think the stronger offence of dangerous driving would be used. If found guilty, that's an automatic ban from driving, an unlimited fine and up to 2 years jail.

It's so rare I can't find any news on this happening without other serious offences (speeding in residential areas, etc). I think it would count as "overtaking dangerously" though: https://www.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/rs/road-...

I'm in California, the coyotes where I live are small-- but they still manage to kill fawns (and, rarely, adult deer-- e.g. catching them while they're giving birth or are injured). Larger coyotes would presumably have some real success against the adults.
Ernst Jünger’s narratives of complicity
While generally fair, if this were specifically true for regulations about remote work, then working from home would be promoted and not limited.
>Stallman was right. You absolutely cannot trust closed source to protect the privacy of your data.

People are fully accepting of data gathering when it's out in the open. Trust doesn't have anything to do with it, people are consenting to this kind of thing openly, and when something does come out they do not care.

F# and OCaml are kind of great for this in my opinion.

With F# in particular, the code project/workspace has a root .fsproj file where you list the dependency order of files. The topmost file cannot depend/call anything from any of the files below, and the bottom most file is the program's entry point depending on all the other files in the project and which itself cannot be depended on. OCaml has the same rule, but the dependency order is automatically detected (which I comparatively dislike to be honest as the .fsproj file serves as easy documentation - although I've seen tools that generate a graph for OCaml's dependency order).

The same dependency rule (code at the top of the file cannot call code below) is followed within a single file too by default. It is possible to opt-out of this rule in an intra-file (within the same file basis) but discouraged to do so I think.

I've found that much more helpful in understanding code than UML diagrams in all honesty.

I remember (before I learned F# or OCaml) reading some of VS Code's source code[0] for learning purposes and finding that class A referenced another class B, and that class B referenced class A which I found confusing. I managed to overcome my issue by drawing a dependency tree of functions which gave some chronological order and understanding.

Elegy for the Native Mac App: Remembering the Boom and Bust of the Mac Platform
No. It's garbage, trading is supposed to serve human needs and should take place on human timescales. If I had a magic wand I'd randomly fuzz the timing of trades to remove a lot of incentives for HFT and some other kinds of automated trading, which are not much more than banging on a known deficiency in a slot machine.

Proponents argue that HFT and other such innovations provide liquidity to markets; my skeptical take is that this is a nice technical-sounding term for traders with cash to lowball falling asset prices.

The Apple representative may have been mistaken, but they did represent Apple and as such have very clearly overruled the guidelines. It should have ended there.

The degree to which people will twist themselves into pretzels to defend mega-corps is something I find hard to understand, for this guy it is their life line and for Apple it is a non-issue. Apple doesn't get to hide behind their own guidelines if even their own representatives don't know them well enough to adequately represent the company.
This type of use case leverages Argonaut's flexibility maximally. For traditional apps, the push-to-deploy CI/CD can be setup. For Pulsar and ScyllaDB, and Elastic there are helm charts that can be used very easily as a part of our AddOns which we are expanding continuously. For Knative and clickhouse, the best way to run them would be through Kubernetes operators. While this can be setup using Argonaut today, the experience feels janky and we're working on making this a first class entity in the product.

The way Argonaut would help is by managing the configs and deployments in one place for easy collaboration and deployment, across environments and having GitOps with secret management for all the configs.

I was in a warehouse of supercars recently. Stuff you had no idea existed. 10 offs, things like that.

Every vehicle was on a trickle charger, for a few reasons. But one reason I especially liked…

The La Ferrari CAN NOT run the batteries dead. If it does, and it’s locked, you are in trouble. Like call a Ferrari rep to come fly out and partially take it apart to get it charged and running again trouble.

Same with some Bugati I had never heard of.

Everything down to McCarens and lower. These aren’t vehicles that will run after sitting for a month let alone a few. Some might top at a week.
Typically, yes, but you’ll need some other syntax if it’s Apache or whatever.
> Citation needed, beyond you being overly dramatic?

Firsthand experience lol. Perhaps slaughterhouses medicate them in a commercial setting? No idea.

I brought up the point because we do it anyways despite the fear and terror in those creatures so we can get a tasty meal.

I don't really want to look up videos of animals getting slaughtered but there are places where you can buy the animal and slaughter it yourself. Go ahead and try it and see for yourself. For me, not just their panic cry but as the knife cuts through the throat they scream+gargle through the blood. Hard to get that image out of my head.

But like I said, I eat meat, I am not better than anyone in that regard.

Why would you pay them everything upfront? And why would you expect upwork to ban them for a project that didn't happen on their platform?

How was upwork ripped off by this guy? Wouldn't you be as responsible for ripping them off by moving the project off the platform? You haven't been banned but are demanding someone else is?

You have a judgement against the developer so money should be recoverable but you seen unable to collect so you are trying to hurt the person instead?

Stop, you are wasting more time / money on a mistake. You originally had a $6,000 idea. Keep focused on getting that built. This is a distraction and your success depends on moving on.
Anyone got stories of converting microservices into a monolith?
No it’s not. A personal opinion would be “I wish people would work in person more often.” “In person work reduces waste” is a (perhaps true, perhaps not) statement of fact, which is very reasonable to ask for a citation about.
Well, as a taxpayer I think in-person work increases waste. Now it's even!

Compare this to SLS which needs about two years between launches to make changes.
in a way yes and in a way no

yes: it would actually be theoretically possible (but openai wouldn't allow you to do it for business reasons and it would be expensive to host and run) to download all weights to a large inference server cluster, then you tell in a prompt to act like a simulacrum of the internet, then you could theoretically prompt it to serve fake web pages that are imperfect versions of the real ones. this is a very literal implementation of lossy compression of the web, and not really useful or practical.

no: the important part of gpt isn't its compression per se (although it has been known for so long that compression and equivalently token completion are ai-complete) but rather the important part is the vast amount and variety of cognitive capabilities that are unlocked. these include unlocking the ability to pass 'theory of mind' cognitive tests at human level, and to perform at human level or superhuman level at so many standardized tests and bar exam and medical certifications. it would be fair to say this is not 'just compression' except in the sense that literally every computation could also be described as 'just compression'.

I don't know if it's the same in the UK, but in Australia 63% of MPs are landlords, compared to only 7% of the general population. Almost no MPs are renters, compared to 30% of the general population. These people are never going to meaningfully help renters because doing so harms landlords, and they are landlords. There's no legitimacy to a system like this, being ruled by people who have completely different fundamental interests to you and with no legal way to vote for anyone else because every major party is a landlord party.
