Do you have hard evidence Musk was instructing Tesla and SpaceX employees to work on Twitter?

I recall several poorly written reports on this subject. It turned out the Tesla and SpaceX employees were consulting on the side, which is not the same as commanding an entire department by fiat to drop everything at Tesla or SpaceX and work on Twitter.

Zuckerberg has that option, Musk does not.

The fact this has to be clarified in a HN thread is an astonishing indictment of the state of the education system and the public's reading comprehension.
Blind seems somewhat OK?
Sorry about it -- it's working over here.

Isn't it fairly widely known that the overall Glassdoor rating isn't worth looking at, and that short and wildly positive (or short and negative) individual reviews aren't useful either, because of the widespread fake review problem. Usually the ones clearly written by humans with real knowledge of the company are a little longer and contain particular story snippet that will add to the credibility. In my experience those skew toward the negative however, as I would mentally discard short positive reviews more frequently even if genuine, being so hard to distinguish from paid or incentivised corporate hr-wash.

> the same as in Lupron, which was force-fed to Alan Turing

1) Turing was not force-fed. He chose that treatment over spending a year in prison. https://archive.org/details/alanturingenigma0000hodg_q8b8/pa...

2) Turing was given DES - diethylstilbestrol - a nonsteroidal estrogen medication. It is an agonist of the estrogen receptors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diethylstilbestrol . For a non-Wikipedia source, https://archive.org/details/prof.-alan-turing-decoded-a-biog...

3) Lupron is a brand name for leuprorelin, "in the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue family of medications". It looks nothing like DES and has a very different method of action ("decreasing gonadotropin and therefore decreasing testosterone and estradiol"). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leuprorelin

4) Leuprorelin wasn't discovered until 1973. https://academic.oup.com/jjco/article/43/4/357/976035?login=... . Turing died in 1954. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing .

Since that was outright wrong, I will easily assume everything else you write on the topic is equally wrong.
There are.

The ugliness of vanilla CSS is in the absence of scopes, though it’s coming.

I was a big fan of Tailwind, but after switching to mostly Svelte, where CSS is scoped by definition, I found that the vanilla CSS is not as nasty as I previously thought.
Sleeping through the technical interview (2022)
I’d say Consumer Reports and NYT wire cutter are pretty objective…

Their bigger issue is that company quality doesn’t change much from year to year, so the pans that were good in 2019 are probably still good now, which is boring.

At least their status page works.
Exactly.

The moment you start working outside of the React bubble you begin to discover just how many of these problems are solved by things like Svelte/Vue's single-file components and a few decent editor extensions.

I don't have to go hunt for a separate CSS file to see what is happening with my semantically named classes. I don't even have to scroll to find it in the same file, I can just option-click the class and see a mini-window showing the relevant styles, edit them inline, or jump to where they are in code. I can find out which classes are unused or where they are used. I get the best of both worlds.

Additionally the moment you get into anything beyond basic layouts the readability of Tailwind drops from "a little frustrating" to "completely opaque". Start adding new CSS features like variables, wide-gamut colors, sub-grid, etc and your neat Tailwind classes start looking like abstract [ ] and letter soup.

Tailwind has some really cool benefits like helping you stick to consistent tokens from your design system and being able to copy paste most HTML from one project to another and have it work, but those benefits simply do not outweigh the downsides I find when I am working in a real project I have to come back to edit and iterate on with multiple people who don't all know CSS well.
Towers in the park is not a new idea. Le Corbusier was a big fan. In practice it tends not to work well. Additionally mandating a very low population density almost guarantees failure.

Staying below 2000 people per square km will make it difficult to provide good public transport or other amenities, including shops. Anyone able to afford a car will want at least one per household, further reducing the population density and making it harder to get around on foot/bike/bus. Ultimately the only people who would choose this form of low-density living over conventional suburban homes would be those unable to afford their own house. Pleasant landscaping is expensive to maintain and almost guaranteed not to happen for a handful of poor people so you'd either end up with impenetrable forest or bare grass and concrete between buildings.

There are a few cases where something like this works quite well, but generally only the highest density versions when located in or near a large, prosperous city that already has excellent amenities. Otherwise it tends to be a disaster.

Optimizing for one thing alone rarely works in urban planing, even if the idea of ample green space for everyone seems uncontroversial.
This should go without saying but this flagrant disregard for what users want is going to continue and get worse as long as people keep buying and using Windows. I wonder pretty often why people put themselves through this crap to use Windows.

I had 3 sons in my county's first charter school. We enrolled when it launched.

It was a mistake I regret. My kids were not baseline* and the educators were out of their depth. They took their obligations seriously and made good faith efforts but weren't able make the leap (during our 7 years).

We left for the county's public schools and they were a world better - by every measure. I am not overstating that an inch.

All that said, I still felt the charter was a good fit for normie students and I recommended it to some parents (but not all).

* One was high functioning autistic. Two coped poorly with the limited curriculum.

There have been many other epic poems which described the rest of the war, but they have been lost and we know their content only from summaries or short quotations included in later texts.

The Iliad and the Odyssey were considered the best from all those poems, so they were used in schools and they were preserved in much more copies than the others, which ensured their survival.

The display is still expensive. $1500 for the panel, $500 for the driver board.[1]

As a status symbol, it probably has a limited lifespan. When Bill Gates built his first big house, he had big CRT monitors embedded in the walls to display art. Had to have working corridors behind the wall for that. Now, anybody on here could have that, but the result would look like a sports bar.

It ultimately doesn't pan out that well. Will work right up til someone finds that they can get a % more delivered without doing the stops.

You can see this in long race formats that have breaks. Teams that find a way to not do the break wind up winning. Such that you then have to mandate them, which works for things that people don't get value out of.

We already have similar mandates for truck driving, and I think most folks would be surprised that that exists. And they are far looser than what would be required for last mile driving.
Do you really think IBM cares enough about Fedora to mandate the insertion of telemetry, possibly upsetting everybody at Red Hat that works on it?

It seems so much more likely to me that the Fedora team just wants telemetry data (which is very standard in the industry) for decision making, exactly as they said.
My 13 y/o son delivers newspapers, he earns £24 per week for 6 mornings. He delivers around 16 newspapers a day. (£24/16)/6 days = £0.25 per paper.

365 days per year at £0.25 per day is £91.25 per year.

The most popular printed newspaper is the Daily Mail, I have no idea what the wholesale cost is, but the retail price is £30.33 per month So, worst case is £363.96 per year - but my expectation is that it is half that.

$2500 USD is currently £1946.66

£91.25 + £363.96 = £455.21

So, you totally can get the paper delivered by a 13 year old boy for ~4.25 years, by which time he'll retire off to college. However, if my premise is that wholesale cost of the paper is half what I thought it is, then 10 years sounds about right.

EDIT: I checked with him, and if you live close enough he'd be willing to come in and stick it on your wall every day, as long as he can get home in time for school.
I bought a older nvidia Tesla p40 with 24gb of vram and it does a pretty good job at running SD, for a $200 gpu.
I think it's too broad to classify all technology this way since their are stark differences between various tools.

Smart phones improved billions of lives and displaced a relatively small number of jobs. Global shipping routes decimated hundreds of towns and cities, many of which still haven't recovered decades later, with 90% of the benefits going to 1% of the population.

There are massive ranges possible on the winner and loser sides of any new technology equation. I'd argue that widespread AI will cause broad harm and very concentrated gains, which I think will be very bad for society on the whole.
Coinbase, and Binance are not DeFi.

Coinbase and Binance own Defi too --- by sheer weight of their marketplace presence and fake trading volume.

The proof --- try to find someone selling Bitcoin on Defi for a rate that differs significantly from Coinbase and Binance.

Whoever has the gold makes the rules --- and it ain't DeFi.

Binance and friends/accomplices have all the gold (aka stablecoins) they need to manipulate any coin they choose in whatever way they choose. If they need more, they can just mint some --- no questions asked. They effectively own the crypto market due to the lack of regulation.
So many problems around cops shooting people and they die. I'm wondering HOW COME noone researched this to create something that can either penetrate glass or not so hard surfaces, and when comes in contact with the skin paralyzes the offender (like the taser, but this can go through things) or simple paralyzes everyone in a radius of a few meters.

Then when the thing settles you go in, get the paralyzed human/animal/whatever, put it in a cage, then wait for it to de-paralyze.

Noone gets hurt, plus the idiot who cannot follow commands won't be killed. Would be so easy.
You probably know about it, but in case you don't know:
You can run Wayland inside Xorg via cage[1] so you don't need to use a Wayland compositor.

This is thinking about it inside out — from the teleology of society needing to run.

If no one promoted musicians, organized tours, etc, then buskers would be the extent of what’s possible.

If one person had to mine, refine, transport, and sell gold that person would do each of those things more poorly than a group of people who specialized.

You are getting at something, but it’s still unarticulated at least from my perspective: large systems of specialized workers produce the opportunity for people to construct and/or capture and maintain chokepoints. With undue control of these chokepoints a person can profit inordinately.

This is part of why anti-trust regulations exist: when the entirety of a class of production is under one coordinated control, that is the ultimate chokepoint. But what you are talking about is a smaller version of that.
It could be different for other teams, but in my team we spend a lot of time writing design docs, discussing new features (which we never end up implementing), taking a lot of time in code reviews, making sure that public changes are backward compatible. Hence at the end producing very little output and wasting tons of time in the due process.

Been awhile since I've worked in the industry, but the commoditization of loans has increased the risk threshold banks are willing to take on. Can tranche up loans to cater to specific buyers and decrease the overall risk in certain measures.

I'd wager smaller banks would, in general, be more conservative with their loans if not for commoditization.

That's a completely different kind of game. Roguelikes are single-player games, MUDs are multiplayer games. Roguelikes usually feature permadeath, MUDs rarely do. It's the difference between an RPG and a MMORPG.
For sure companies and people will take the path of least resistance; companies will always prioritize the bottom-line. It seems most consumers are tipped toward EVs because of the incentives and things like carpool lane waivers.

EVs are a tremendous improvement in regards to emissions but in my opinion a step backwards in terms of functionality (hear me out on this one!). ICE are one of the greatest inventions of our species and the energy density of liquid fuels is so much greater than in a battery - with this comes field portability and long-term usage of trucks/heavy-equipment etc. Certainly EVs have other advantages such as torque bands, fewer moving parts, etc.

In short I agree with your points
Used to feel this way until I discovered MacPorts. So much faster than brew and prefer it placing everything in /opt and not relying on system binaries. Now I only use homebrew to manage Casks and a few esoteric binaries (really rare).

I hate windows, like I'm trying to get off it because of the ads/ragebait news. I hate edge. Microsoft is basically a never buy anymore, but according to this:

https://zerodium.com/program.html

Getting a Windows exploit is higher value than any linux exploit. Given how many servers use Linux, it makes me wonder if Linux 0 click are easier than windows.

There are a bunch of counters like 'there are too many distros', or 'a personal computer of a VIP is higher value than some corporations'. But I'm not sure its fair to include your point number 1.

I like to give people credit where its due, I imagine it took lots of work to make windows as secure as it is. (Giving Android OS the most credit for their 2.5M payout)
That is more green space than in most suburbs. No one would ever build apartments with those restrictions, they would build single family homes. No one would walk through the parks because it would take too long to get anywhere and would drive instead.

One tenth of that might be workable. One hundreth is probably fine. Gives the apartment building a house-sized lot for garden. And gives neighborhood a block sized park. And gives the city a large, nature park.
The world in general and open source in particular depends on bad actors like yourself being rooted out and chased away. Nothing to do with the specific issue here.
I was never terribly invested in the Twitter to begin with, but I have noticed former Twitter addicts slowly accrete away from the platform in the time since Elon took over.

It seemed like the site lost its use as a social space pretty quickly simply due to the kinds of people Elon let back on the platform and others who he subsequently censored or outright banned. Then, Tweetdeck going subscriber-only threw a monkey wrench into its use as a promotional tool. Finally, the recent logged-in visibility changes and API limits seem to have totally screwed up its ability to be used as a glorified public RSS feed.

If you don't notice a difference, maybe you're just not looking in the right places.

You shouldn't translate old works if your goal is to imbibe some modern new meaning into the work. Or if you do, do it as an explicit kitsch or panache and don't pretend it is a serious work.
There are three components that get paid in business. Labor, capital and rent.

Rent is low in construction as it is not tied to a particular location; you store the machines and tools anywhere.

Increasing the supply of labor will just ensure that the providers of capital get to keep more of the profit.

An injust policy is not a good policy by definition. There is a reason "better a hundred guilty go free than one innocent should suffer" is an axiom. To do otherwise utterly fucks with incentives and promotes selfishness in the worst of ways. Why bother being honest if it is no protection? Do whatever the fuck you can get away with and maximize the personal advantage. That is a recipe for breakdown. Injustice has a way of creating a "karmic backlash" of reputations which is less than precise. Not through any cosmic force but that in a world with billions of agents actions begetting reactions. It goes beyond classic vigilantism and into reputations in general. Letting the Mai Lai Massacre go unpunished certainly contributed to Vietnam Veterans branded baby-killers.

On another note I highly suspect residual trauma is a reason for teachers having issues with parents, and schools with willingness to fund. The tree remembers and assumes the worst of teachers based upon their own experience.
If it does lead to mass layoffs I think that's almost certain. Even if I'm wrong about the upsides and they are better than expected, there will still be millions of people suddenly destitute who won't care one bit about the latest tech toys, they are just going to be depressed and angry.

Automatically Generate Python Docstrings with GPT
Hi!

I wanted to share a Python library (gpt4docstrings) that I created last week that might be interesting for Python programmers.
