> The value of some places is the very fact that they're low density.

Exactly. Just look at a satellite image of Atherton, CA or Lexington MA; they're low-density residential places with plenty of greenery where each lot is sizable and crucially, near major economic centers with plenty of high-paying jobs. They're desirable precisely because they allow you more breathing room while being geographically close to the hustle and bustle of a big city.
Yea I don’t quite get it. You immediately annoy/alienate users
They removed the public DNS, but z-library is working just fine with Tor. I think you even have the .onion url on their Wikipedia page.
It is surprising to me that academics would not think that it is worth optimizing RSS for hello, world.
If devs have to do QA themselves, many issues magically disappear.
Op here.

I disagree. You can get up and started in most language stacks fairly quickly. Keep focus, learn to sort advice into helpful and unhelpful buckets, and start building with a goal in mind.

For example - I hadn't touched fennel nor Love2d until about a month ago, and we made something happen.

You can do this too.
> I'm sorry. I assumed you were trying to make a counterpoint and not simply naming factual information.

You are the one telling me bankruptcy has consequences

The point is school debt is specifically excluded from bankruptcy by law so people have no recourse

You ask why not forgive all debts, and my response is we don’t need to do that, if debt is enough of a burden people can file bankruptcy

Yes, there are consequences and people have to make that choice

There is no choice for student loan debt, hence forgiveness

You can’t have it both ways - there has to be an out
Depends how the ending works out.

The most fun I had was a company MTG bracket where we opened a new pack once a week. We'd keep the same cards throughout the whole block (3 sets back in the day, so quite a while). Trades were allowed but only between the same rarity. So everyone had to build a deck with (roughly) equal power, and had to think of a relatively original deck using the cards available to them.

There was still some metagaming. Getting ahold of mythics had a greater degree of randomness, and if you had a buddy that was running a separate color deck you could effectively pool cards.
There are plenty of alternatives to stripe. I understand your point, but i would move on with my product and write a blog post about it and mail that to the clients immediately and after solving to find an alternative clearing provider to create a better, more stable future.

View it this way: be happy that it happened now - what mess this would be if you have thousands of customers and a bigger saturation.
It's bizarre how Goldman screwed up their push to consumer products so bad. How do you manage to lose 3 billion dollars in 3 years?
There is no situation in which your language doesn't impact your productivity to some degree, sorry.

When you've put 40,000 lines into the program, and your language is suddenly impacting your productivity more than you like, you can't just drop all that and switch!

Your language has you hostage. "If you don't like the dent I'm putting in your productivity, go rewrite 40,000 lines in something else. Mouhaha!"
MOHELA said no such thing, although it's apparent that many of their employees were against the case. The case was filed by the Missouri AG, who doesn't require every (or indeed any) individual employee of MOHELA to agree in order to prove harm to the state of Missouri.
i cannot roll my eyes any harder than i did here.

my point is that looking at the outliers of any context aren't going to be the ones that give you an accurate picture of reality.
Well my whole point is that you have to build up a large codebase of formalized mathematics first, and you have to do it in an elegant way so it is easy to work with. Then verified programs is something we can start to realistically consider. But of course we can't do that yet (except in certain situations with great effort). It's really very similar to building up a whole software architecture. 30 years ago we were at machine code, now we are at maybe C. We want to get to the Figma of formalized mathematics. It will take many years but I don't see and conceptual hurdle, especially given the power of LLMs now.
Humans can still create art with no profit motive. In fact, I would wager that is how most art is created today.

I don't care if computers are better at writing stories than I am. There are already ten million people out there better at writing stories than I am.
And people said I was being a Luddite for saying "just copy the text or take a screenshot", that's a lot of "news" articles at this point.

Definitely disturbing that journalists (especially) figured it was good archival practice to rely on the Twitter API in providing context.

For years, if I didn't enable twitter's javascript, news articles are missing images and quotes, obviously so. It's embarrassing, I honestly don't know how they recover from this, I don't know why they kept relying on Twitter embedding when screenshots and copy/paste work better and don't break.
> "If it was an argument against capitalism, it is a clearly erroneous argument, since we can see that Americans ..."

Yes because the USA has pure capitalism and not anything like small farm subsidies or food stamps or school lunch programs or any social welfare programs.
What do you sell? Do you have a website?
The front page of Anna’s archive makes it clear they want to organize the would’s information, and make it universally accessible, so no.

The next question is why the courts would say that Anna’s archive is illegal, but Google is not.

There are some tests around encouraging copyright infringement, and Google is very careful to pass those tests despite providing extremely similar services over similarly-illegal sites.

The mental and legal gymnastics required for all this are fascinating. I suggest studying internet IP law.

Nearly half of all grain is either burned as fuel or eaten by animals

https://yourveganfallacyis.com/en/vegans-kill-animals-too

"Crop fields do indeed disrupt the habitats of wild animals, and wild animals are also killed when harvesting plants. However, this point makes the case for a plant-based diet and not against it, since many more plants are required to produce a measure of animal flesh for food (often as high as 12:1) than are required to produce an equal measure of plants for food (which is obviously 1:1). Because of this, a plant-based diet causes less suffering and death than one that includes animals."

I'm sure lots of people use their Amex preferentially, but I've never seen anyone put their hand on a door handle, then see that only visa/mc stickers are in the window, and walk away.
Briar would be a lot more fun if it supported public chatrooms, snipet/file sharing, etc. I don't know if they changed anything, but the last time i used it, I installed it, then bothered a friend to test it out, and since I couldn't find anyone else to use it with, i uninstalled it.

There were programs way back then that acted as a proxy server that would remove image tags that matched the size used by banner ads. See WebWasher or Proxomitron.
Android is only used by 80% of the rest of the world, but who's counting anyway.
On the second graph titled "average amount owed per month based on 10yr at 5.8%" - does anyone understand if there's a fundamental reason why the "balance owed per person" is strictly increasing? Or is it happenstance? The fact that I can't see a fundamental reason for this suggests I'm missing something.

Separate note - I keep hearing that the USA has a big problem with student debt. However on the third groph they plot the ratio of monthly payments divided by monthly gross pay, and it varies between 5% and 12%. I don't know how to do the after tax calculation, but say it goes up to 20%. Why is this such a big problem to the point that the president is wiping out debt? These people should be able to pay it back.
Just to be clear, this does not mean donating crypto leaves you with more money than keeping/selling it:

If you have $1000 worth of crypto that you bought for $100 and donate it, you have $0 worth of crypto (because you gave it away) and e.g. $400 (assuming a 40% marginal tax rate) worth of tax savings.

If you sell the crypto instead and keep the money, you pay e.g. 33% (20% federal + 13% California) taxes on it, and you have $0 worth of crypto (because you sold it) and $670 worth of cash after taxes.
The problem is that they're clubbing people who were unsure about the Covid vaccine with people who think that all vaccines are bad.

That's an absurd stance to take. It's entirely okay to be skeptical of a vaccine that was made at a rapidly accelerated pace and that hasn't been out long enough to know about its long-term causes.

You can't apply the same safety profile to the Covid vaccine as you can to, say, the Polio vaccine.
This sounds great on paper, but there's a devil lurking in the detail:

> The regulator says there are currently no approved products that contain MDMA or psilocybin. However the reclassification means psychiatrists will be able to access and legally supply certain medicines that contain them, even if they have not been evaluated for safety or effectiveness.

How exactly is this supposed to work then? Are psychiatrists supposed to order MDMA/psilocybin directly from the companies that produce the two for research use, which presumably involves fearsome bureaucracy and markups?

It sounds like this would make the law effectively a dead letter until a regular pharma company goes through the Australian approval process and gets the drugs into pharmacies. Medical marijuana in Australia has suffered from similar issues, with an onerous approval process in many states making it very difficult to get a prescription.
Any recommendations? Half of the codebase is based on Stripe’s features like Connect. It would be hard for us to migrate to another provider in such a short notice. And the brand tarnishing hasn’t been the most positive thing to get our clients back.

Thank you for the reply tho.
Maybe it doesn't. Them's the breaks.

> It's the abdication of all responsibility. It's the creation of a society where commitments mean nothing.

How do you feel about bankruptcy?
Since about a year ago, we entered the era of consolidation. The margin call of tech. A decade of outsized unprofitable interest-free investments sure is fun, but there comes a time to pay it back. That time is now.

Companies that are not profitable should very soon be profitable. Companies that are profitable yet are stagnating need to show their next growth. And that's why you have this intensity in amping up monetization across several companies.

You can be absolutely sure that tech leaders are keenly watching the effects of bold moves at Twitter, Reddit, the like. Companies testing the waters to see how far they can go.

We had it coming and probably shouldn't complain that much. As the dutch saying goes: when shaven, sit still. Your expectations are based on party mode, but the party stopped.

Anecdotally, I can use it in 75% of shops I frequent.
What's the size of a tomb? Is there some kind of symbol limit? Modern proofs easily run into the hundreds of pages, is that too long? And do you have any support for those requirements, or is that just your personal conviction?
Typing 20 lines doesn't take much more time than typing 5 lines, but dealing with 5x more code thanks to an inexpressive language sure is an ongoing drag on productivity that just gets worse over time—while figuring out tooling/packaging/etc is, mostly, an up-front cost. Obviously better tooling is better, but my experience has been that ≈everyone overvalues up-front costs vs ongoing costs because they're more legible.

Frankly, I wish new languages focused more on flexibility and expressiveness even if that made things harder up-front!

Honestly that sounds like making pilots build aircraft engines.

these are different disciplines that deserve to be done well.

Maybe I am biased because I spent the last 10 years in gamedev, or maybe this is another push to make devs do basically everything tech related: but if a developer tells me a feature is done I always look to QA for a nod.

That nod rarely comes, the feature is not done, the developer merely got it to work on their machine.
Target and sanction the foreign assets and business channels of some politicians, and _they_ will react internally.

You value the syncing browser accounts offer. Personally I like being able to go between several of my own computers and not have all settings synced. It's not a fresh slate situation but it is a bit freeing to not carry all my digital baggage all the time.

I never said the USA has pure capitalism. In fact, what society has pure capitalism? Do we need an argument against a system that has never and probably will never be implemented in the world?
Yes, I agree. Symbolic AI is for hardness, which we can use for the skeleton of the agent. LLMs are the fuzziness that surrounds and interfaces the skeleton. Everyone who writes some simple code that assembles a promot is already doing that.
I envy people who can get 4 hour gaming sessions at all =)

It's not a huge deal to carry along an external powerbank for the Deck if you really need to get over two hours of gameplay while you're mobile. You can use the same one to charge everything else you need.

If you're at home, a 3+ meter USB-C cord isn't that expensive and you can charge while you play.
Cloud VM possible, not sure. Is it possible to run on HuggingFace without compromising data privacy?On-premise preferred. Capital cost to get to “Hello world” will probably convince principals to use HuggingFace if data privacy concerns can be met.
In my country they will, just because of the far higher merchant fees Amex charges compared to Visa and Mastercard.
Being a retail bank is not a simple undertaking. They would not want the complexity and regulatory distraction partnering with a bank is a smarter move.
A changelog is supposed to tell you what has changed.

A general greeting/landing page is supposed to tell you what the thing is.

Trouble is if a link to a changelog is submitted to HN. Most people who don't know what the thing is click on it, have no clue what they are looking it, close it again and then downvote the submission.

Submissions for not-widely-known stuff should be a landing page, not a changelog page.

(In other words, this hurl page is kind of a mix between these two which is odd and arguably misusing what a changlog / news announcement page should be.)
Op here.

It's important to recognize pain points so we do not become complacent with low quality developer experiences. Worse, complacency with software lifecycle at scale - will our product deploy on a cluster? Will our software be maintainable 5 years from now?

Better we look at the pain points now than accept a poor DX for years to come.

Total nonsense. I was traveling for 3-4 months last year, and my AMEX was accepted almost everywhere in Spain, Portugal, Germany, etc.
From some Tor exit nodes (not all!), YouTube does present a modal to make you agree to the ToS before you are allowed to interact with the page. Probably some localities actually legally require you to do this, and so Alphabet complies.

I work in Common Lisp, which also is 100MB+ programs so likely won't satisfy OP either.
I am 100% for decriminalization, but understand it's not a black and white issue. I don't disagree with your point, at the same time there's a part of me that thinks, "You can't outlaw stupid." I feel for the guy in the article, but whether psychedelics are legal or not this guy was just not getting the message (I don't mean metahphysically, I just mean realizing that yes psychedelics are a powerful thing):

> "So my first psychedelic experience was when I was 20 years old in in Amsterdam. I took mushrooms and I had a hell of a trip like because I wasn't aware of dosages and don't know what type of dosage I took."

And then a few years later we get to this-

> "I was planning to do an ayahuasca retreat in Peru, and a friend of mine said why not smoke DMT here. I didn't know that I was doing one of the strongest psychedelics on earth. I didn't have any preparation."

Like I said I really do feel for the guy and hopes he finds resolution, but what was he thinking? I also hope lots of people read his story.

I also think that 'net-zero trauma' poster/slide is pretty cringey. Like you said, it's not that simple.
And this sentence is wrongful and might be legally not wise to put in the world: "They just killed our platform HEYHEY." They just stopped making their service available to you for whatever reason that is inside their terms or not. But they didn't "kill" anything.
We can also look at pirating as another reasoning.

Music pirating happened because it was simply impossible to get a lot of music you wanted to. Then when you could find it, you'd pay a large amount. Maybe not even knowing if you liked the work. Napster and Limewire come in because they let you get whatever and even one song at a time. Music industry comes in with DRM and makes it harder to rip CDs, but the mouse always wins. Apple Music, Pandora, and Spotify killed a lot of music pirating because they offered most of the advantages that pirating had: access and portability. It made things easy.

Or look at movies. The "You Wouldn't Steal a Car" ad started in 2004, when a ticket cost under $10 (I think I paid around $6-$8). Now that same ticket is $18-$20, which is $11-$13 in 2004. Not to mention the crazy prices for refreshments. People didn't stop liking going to the movie theaters, they were priced out (along with the studios migrating towards international audiences and diverging from our cultural standards to theirs). Home streaming didn't fix that because they charged the same price or more for a ticket. Netflix killed a lot because people would rather wait (and especially after they started making their own content). Then more streaming services popped up and pirating is back because it re-simplified things. PopcornTime was incredibly popular for a bit and was simple enough for my grandma to use.

This is all really due to incredibly short sighted thinking. Chasing one marker to the next not realizing that they're veering away from the actual goal. I know this link isn't exactly the same thing, but we should be able to see the parallels here because it is the exact same game going on[0], just with profit maximization rather than policy making (we can formulate markets as a social choice theory problem).

High RSS makes me wonder how well the language is designed and implemented. Luajit gives you many of the things racket does (and can be easily extended to add any racket feature) without having crazy high RSS. Even though it may seem minor, it gives me a lot more confidence that at a minimum, luajit isn't _badly_ designed.
The obnoxious ads generate more money though. Guess what gives YouTube (and creators) more money, an ad that can be skipped after 5 seconds or an unskippable 6 second ad followed by another unskippable 15 second ad?

Similarly, what gives the newspaper more money, the unpersonalized ad respecting your privacy or the personalized ad that first loads a fingerprinting framework to track you across the web and then show you more targeted ads?
I think I'm at the point where I value an ad-free internet more than I do youtube content. Certainly not enough to pay $12/mo to watch it without ads.
Okay, so what does a photon observe when it partakes of Cherenkov radiation ?
To my best knowledge, it does not support oauth flow out of the box. This is also where we built some custom tooling around hurl.
I think GP's point was that with AMEX not being accepted everywhere, it would no longer be a transparent action to pay with tap. Now they would have to either deal with the rejection and change to a non-default card, or they would need to prepare in advance by looking around for what kinds of cards are accepted. Neither of these things are a big deal, but it's friction, and consumers don't like friction.
If you connect a bunch of LLMs with a hard coded structure (Like sensory module -> planning module -> action agent or something like that) then for me that is like assembling a symbolic AI system out of non-symbolic components.
Yep, I worked as a front-end dev since forever and I can confirm that I've been routinely asked by designers and other product people to

- Change how scrolling works, incl. arbitrary scrolling angles and non-linear scrolling speed
- Change how the fonts (and SVGs) are rasterized by the browser
- Disable browser features, such as zoom and back button
- Take over the browser's UI in other disgusting ways

...I work as a backend dev now, it's a happy place where people genuinely care that the SQL query runs fast, but nobody ever asked in which font it renders in Firefox on macOS.
That's a perfect explanation. Thank you.
I grew up with the practice of never putting more of my life in the digital world than necessary. Given the recent Amazon smarthome snafu I don't see a reason to change.

The USA has public schools; what do you want?
I, for one, am thankful that universities serve a broader education purpose than being glorified trade schools. There is intrinsic value in a well-educated populace, beyond "learn to code, lol".
If only that then it’s a dysfunctional system. Ideally it’s a mechanism to recycle elites. Preserve elites that are of a certain quality, dispose of the low quality, and acquire new elites from the pool ensuring a high quality of elites that is not only tied to ancestry.

The cynical view is existing elites only steal from the best from the pool. I’m not sure empirical evidence supports this. The system probably over-selects existing elites. But it’s their system. I’d argue that AA was a tool to allow even more over-selection and preservation by consuming seats with unqualified and therefore uncompetitive quotas. Cultural cachet I guess and a moral justification for low quality elite preservation.
