You're missing the entire point.

If I have a laptop with two USB-C ports, but only one supports thunderbolt, that is because one is wired to the xHCI hub and the other is wired through PCI-e via the thunderbolt interconnect. The physical connection is the same, so there would be no reason for Framework to sell a "thunderbolt-capable USB-C".

> So many municipalities would kill for a large number of people to come in, pay locals and local taxes, and then leave without using any social services.

This is in opposition to your quote. Mayor Halsema said the tourists are at international chains, you're talking about paying locals. Money spent at these chains isn't contributing to the local economy as much as actually spending money at local shops is.
> I realize Amsterdam is very wealthy, but feel like we've seen countless times cities discouraging visitors and then surprised when tax revenues drop.

Care to cite some examples? Because I certainly can't think of any.

Sure, tourism can be a double edged sword, but all the cities I can think of that want to limit tourism (e.g. Venice, Barcelona, etc.) don't appear to have had any negative effects from their campaigns to limit tourism. If anything, these cities are trying to keep the "soul" of their cities intact, to keep their appeal that attracted so many tourists in the first place.
And we're starting to see the repeal of Labor laws in the US - newly passed or pending laws allow companies to hire children without work permits and allow children to work longer hours under more dangerous conditions in places like construction sites, meat packing plants, and automobile factories.

I boycott the self checkout, and always go through the cashier, even if that means waiting a bit longer. The way I look at it that's at least a token towards keeping people employed that make substantially less money than I do and even if my time is valuable it isn't nearly as valuable to me as their employment is to them.

I hoped more people would join me this but it looks like it is a losing battle.
TIL I have a stick up my ass. I'm US born and didn't know what smol was until today so I'm not sure I buy the "large demographic", but it's always possible I'm out of touch.

Personally yeah I think it's better as an alias. I'm actually all for having fun with programming, but if you want your product to be useful you have to consider your audience. I'm much more likely to stick a joke name on an internal facing function, where I've got a strong reason to believe that everyone who sees it will be in on the joke. Or a piece of software that is itself for fun. Something that's meant for actually getting work done should generally not use naming that gets in the way of that.

> The notion of a "bad name" is evidence of aesthetic gatekeeping.

I mean that's objectively not true. You even provide an example in your next paragraph of a bad name. Another would be taking using md5s of descriptive names and using that. I mean md5 is broken and reversing it is fun and nerdy right?

When talking function names and program arguments, names which convey their purpose are better than those that don't. It's not gatekeeping, it's designing effective interfaces.
I haven't made the counterclaim to that. That's not the same as saying that the FDA should rubber stamp all European approvals.

Should doctors be able to prescribe drugs approved elsewhere? When we're talking about lifesaving treatment that isn't available in the US, yeah probably there should be some process to do that. I imagine insurance companies will make this next to impossible, but that's not a reflection on your argument, just a shitty reality.

What would convince me that the FDA should rubber stamp European drug approvals? I don't know, but it would be evidence about the structure of the pharmaceutical market and the incentives in place, not a recitation of misses by the FDA.

Your evidence they aren't approving drugs fast enough is convincing, I absolutely buy that a problem exists. But that evidence doesn't address my separate concerns.

Let's say we do go ahead and rubber stamp everything coming out of Europe. What is going to happen?

There's going to be more pressure on European regulators. How are they going to respond to it?

Possibly by being corrupted and subverted and failing open. That would be bad.

The alternative is that they becoming more careful, more plodding, they start taking into account the views of stakeholders the FDA would otherwise have represented, and the process gets gummed up anyway.
I find that to be true as well.

It's just that boilerplate is usually an indication of a bad design or a bad/verbose language. Both of it are painpoints that should be fixed.

But if that's not possible then Copilot is a good helper.
That's fine, as long as you also agree that Athens 'beat Persia'.

I think enterprise software agreements can often be negotiated.

In the case of GitLab, their pricing page has the usual easy ordering buttons for each pricing tier, but the $99 tier button also has a prominent "Contact Sales" link right below the button. https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/

Once you're already paying sticker price, and have invested in using it (i.e., moving to a competitor is a lot of work), your negotiating position will be different, but the vendor can still lose the account, if customer is unhappy enough to eat the moving costs.
That’s one of the problems with politics currently. Everyone is focused on republicans versus democrats, when in my opinion it should be the people versus those in power first and foremost.

While I agree that there are important issues that the different sides disagree on. Realistically they seem to be in agreement >90% of the time. I think not tolerating corruption, incompetence, and an unwillingness to make progress is the most important thing a voter can do. But we are distracted by the parties and the media and tricked into fighting each other, instead of holding those in power accountable.
>Could you give an example of "transactions happening easily and reliably through a computer system"?

Sure. A random travel booking. A stock purchase. Checking my account balance anywhere.

These are all things that took visiting travel agents, brokers, and waiting for delayed monthly statements previously. We made a lot of phone calls and went into offices for multiple hours to handle things.
But I'm not engaging in business there. I'm selling an item on my website, I don't know who's buying it and where it's from. How could I possibly police that?

If a visitor on a Portugese IP with a Canadian credit card wants to stream my movie, is it my responsibility to uncover their identity? If I don't, under what law can I be proscuted? You say "local law", but I don't live within these places, so how can I be subject to them? How will they enforce them?
That's lemmygrad and possibly lemmy.ml, I think fmhy.ml (the site in question) used it since it's free.

Ugh, idk, especially the part about moving around (running besides an animal, moving in the grass in the ISS section) were too clean. Like no dust, no specs of dirt from the grass nor any kind of traces of actually having touched anything.

The person with the green shirt also looks either like hq CGI or a heavily edited recording where the dog was CGI'ed inside. The shadows as OC pointed out were in some cases also too distinct though mayve this is due to artifical lighting.

Overall I could see the bot being real but that demo video sure ain't a true depicition of reality.
I find that the larger the monitor I have the more I appreciate windowed apps (vs. fullscreen) and as a result wallpaper choice makes more of a difference.

I currently use Wallpaper Engine, will have to give Octos a try.

Once you have the basic concept of a filesystem, mapping names to chunks of data, I think directories are a natural extension. It's an aid to both the human and the computer.
Who's looking for work involving LLMs?
[We're hiring, and thought it might be good to start a thread to connect all seekers and companies in this rapidly developing space.]

To kick things off, I'm looking to hire someone (consult/PT/FT) to help scale an LLM service. If you have opinions and experience with Runpod, Lambda, Replicate, AWS, etc and enjoy tinkering with and evaluating all the various LLaMA variants, you’re probably the right person. Bonus if you've fine-tuned your own models.

> This sounds like a recipe for killing people.

Do you know what else sounds like a recipe for killing people? Not allowing people to access therapeutics that might save their life because it hasn't yet gone through regulatory approval yet for whatever reason (delays, too expensive to submit), etc.

> There's very little that's approved by a non-US body and approved by the EU or non-OECD body that warrants clinical use, and if it is it gets reviewed quickly

LOL. What are you talking about. There are so many examples.

One of the most tragic is amisulpride. Amisulpride is an antipsychotic medication used to treat schizophrenia and other psychiatric conditions. Some key notes about its regulatory status:

- Amisulpride was first approved in France in the 1980s and is widely used in Europe.

- It was never approved by the FDA for use in the United States, and at this point there's not organization that can afford to go through the approval process because there's no patent.

- The reason often cited is that the manufacturer did not apply for approval with the FDA. It was likely not considered commercially viable for the US market at the time.

- Amisulpride is believed to have comparable efficacy to other second-generation antipsychotics like olanzapine and risperidone, but with a lower side effect burden according to some studies.

- In Europe, amisulpride is considered a first-line treatment option for schizophrenia, but American psychiatrists do not have access to it. According to some sources, it is literally recommended as the best antipsychotic in other countries.
> You're American. They seceded from America. Thus they're traitors. ... Nothing says you can or cannot secede. ...

GP's entire point was that the first paragraph of the Declaration of Independence establishes the basic right to secede. Here it is:

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them..."

His point is that Americans are broadly wrong when we condemn secessionists as traitors. According to our own founding document.
This is a good idea and an important first mover (at least when it comes to European capitals) which will legitimize doing the same in other places around the world.
All of Germany is less shaky than zone 4, according to the map you link to. In comparison, half the population of California lives in zone 4 if I recall correctly.
What about the right to refuse? I don’t think there actually is a problem here, there’s no reason for this Pharma company to provide an expensive untested drug- only potential negatives
It seems to me like the user you're replying to is well aware of how web devs attempt to identify unique devices (browser cookies.) They're saying that the manner that this is implemented leads to poor user experiences due to the faulty assumption that just because a cookie doesn't exist in the client browser, that the device is in fact unique to previously used devices. Which I don't see how your comment actually addresses. I tend to agree with the other user. Making healthy security conscious decisions like low TTLs on local cookie storage (such as cookie purge on browser/tab close) feels unrewarded when the site enforces additional security gates on login. The point is: unique login devices may have been a good idea, but in practice the design of the web does not make them an ideal candidate for bolstering user security. Maybe someday passkeys solves the unique device problem sufficiently such that faulty assumption methods like browser cookie storage cease to be commonplace.
Awesome prototype, great job!

If you’re looking to extend it, it may be awesome for users to be able to record their road trip routes and share with others - like Strava / Alltrails for road trips!
> I'm sorry, but in what way is Disney World an economy? You know that it's a fake place run by a single corporate entity, right?

People buy and sell stuff. Disney is paying workers. I’m paying Disney. It’s all orchestrated by one controlling entity, but that also describes communism which I’d argue has operated a number of equally fake (albeit less successful) economies.

> Why do you think any of this is due to missing "economic diversity" instead of simply missing money due to geopolitical and historical reasons?

Yeah, their problem appeared to be a lack of wealth, and a lack of a middle class. There was plenty of poverty, but diversity isn’t code for poor. Diversity means some poor, some middle, some wealthy and they didn’t have much of the latter.

> And Europe is on average much safer than the US is, people are happier, fewer people die of preventable reasons. Seems like they are doing something right?

Hey, sometimes you don’t want to have the strongest economy. To use an analogy a race car is very high performance, fast, can turn quickly, etc. However a luxury car is more comfortable. Europe seems to prefer a nice balance where their economic system isn’t as resilient or productive, but it’s more pleasant for more people (while things are good). My concern is Europe’s ability to make it through severe economic / military hardships. Frankly they’ve enjoyed this comfort for the past 100 years because the US is doing the hard work of being the economic backstop of the world.

> You haven't shown that ANY of what you wrote is due to missing "economic diversity". You've compared a bunch of places that have very different economic histories, and you just decide that all the differences are due to "economic diversity".

Again I’m just making observations. I’m not saying that making people poor would improve the economy any more than hurting someone will make them strong… but exercising does cause discomfort, sore muscles, and the occasional injury. I’m saying if you don’t have any discomfort, soreness, etc. then you’re likely not as healthy / resilient as someone who’s exercising to that level.
Yes, the AI chatbot will fill that role.

It will answer questions that customers have and then it will feedback to the product team about the most common queries made by customers.

Honestly, the Hacker News crowd have been such visionaries about the potential for technology but as soon as that technology infringes upon their livelihood they develop these massive blind spots.
> You could have said the same of Industrial Revolution.

Says who? What jobs did the industrial revolution eliminate? Essentially just spinners and weavers, and that caused a violent social uprising by the Luddites.

Textiles were far outweighed by the industrialization of steam power, ironworking, and machine tools. Those three things did not put people out of jobs, they just created huge numbers of new jobs and totally altered society.

I don't think anybody really believes AI will directly create new jobs, in any way comparable to steam or steel. They think it will be like textiles, but everywhere and without the balancing impact of those massive, unrelated new industries.

> If you arrive by boat, you must use public transport (or good old feet) to get around. I understand that it is a a surge in demand, but I am putting money in to the local economy.

Public transport is usually run at a loss, and at least partly funded with local taxes. Same for public museums, although I don't know about the Netherlands.

I think the amount of pollution per passenger is really disproportionately high for cruise ships, and I'm afraid nothing can be really done about it. It's just a less efficient means of transportation.

Now, living in Antwerp the pollution caused by container ships is at a whole other level though.
I do hope to end up there eventually, but I think the government ended homesteading back in the 80s sadly.
This isn’t meant to be a personal jab but in my opinion tourists, by definition, are “consuming” the region they are touring. Consumption is not always over-consumption.

Tough luck for us all, especially when there are so many downsides of cruises or flying. But not all tourism is “bad” and of course many economies depend on it - it’s a tricky balance.
Jira is so much better now than it was the last time I had to use it, about 10 years ago. It's like a different product with the same name. Maybe it is, I don't know what happened in those 10 years.

I used Redmine for many small projects, probably since 2007. It works well. It's quite simple, not many bells and whistles, which is OK. Maybe not many features but enough to get the work done.
> I thought they were all like family?

Heh to be fair, I’ve seen family screw each other over plenty of times.
Interesting that CNN mentioned Martin Luther King Jr in the article as the City of Atlanta spent a big chunk of downtown Atlanta's TAD (same thing as TIF) money on the MLK Aquatics Center. But the byline says it came from CNN's New York office so maybe they don't know much about Atlanta.

I also wonder if like so many other primarily outdoor activities (the MLK pool happens to be indoors), there's a generational decline in interest.
>a large number of people to come in, pay locals and local taxes, and then leave without using any social services

Sounds like you're describing Downtown SF. I imagine right now many in the city wish the area had been less reliant on people coming in from elsewhere.
Gosh that MRI looks just like mine from 2016. Herniation of the L5S1 disc, minor slip/misalignment of the vertebrae and some tearing of the longitudinal posterior ligament.

Mine was caused by poor squat form due to a lack of ankle mobility + sitting badly.

Took me 3 years to rehab it fully, with no need for surgery with a mix of standing desk, regular physiotherapy, changing movement patterns and time.

There is clear evidence that so long as the hernia isn’t causing imminent danger to bodily functions then the recovery path for having surgery and not having surgery is basically the same.

Also, chiro’s are quacks - their core thesis is treating (from memory) luxations, of which there is no evidence of existing. If you have an injury, find a physio who isn’t afraid to work on you with manipulations, massage, cupping, scraping, dry needling, mobilisations AND prescriptive exercises for mobility and strength work.
I only use a kneeling chair. Also daily short 15-20min HIIT with pull ups have resolved all my back problems. I highly recommend the simple and sinister daily energizer approach. After work when you are tired and mentally drained is the best time to exercise. This gives you energy to do your own things for the remainder of the day.
> > I wonder what people like Peter Thiel have to say about it

Who gives a fuck? He's just a guy, much like this guy is just a guy.

Don't waste space and give me your take as opposed to mentioning other people, because they are not here and they cannot debate, while you are and can.
Tourists - fortunately - don't get to vote in the municipality elections. Not that Halsema would care because we don't vote for mayors in NL. But she got this one right. I'd be even happier if they jacked up the landing taxes for Schiphol to 10x of what they are today.
> He is not a simple person.

I'm gonna be honest here. I don't think anyone is.
The pollution has nothing to do with carbon, though nobody will admit it.

You were the pollutant, and the natives want the tourists to go away and not come back.
Because they almost certainly can not. They almost certainly have no idea what the consequences of their actions are as the drug company almost certainly did everything in their power to obscure, obfuscate, and downplay the risks as literally every company is legally allowed to do.

The principle at play here is “informed consent”. Unfortunately, modern society has little interest in the “informed” part which is why it is probably not a good idea to let people imbibe untested drugs even if they are giving “consent” unless they can demonstrate they are “informed”.
I'm not expecting you to understand but I find it less disruptive to look to the side than switch windows or desktops.
What are some small and lightweight (compatibly) LiDAR on a chip that you’d suggest looking into?
How would that work? Would the government use money from taxes to pay the drug companies for their costs, plus some profit margin?
If you’ve still got the energy, why not? I think the most important thing is are you enjoying it? Does it feel fulfilling?

There’s a lot of pressure to conform to what’s expected of you and if you can ignore that you’ll probably be much happier than most people.
>I'm not going to drown.

Because you're never going to leave your home. So, yes, you don't need to be an Olympic athlete but if you can't basically swim you're stupid.
This isn't a language, but CHERI has hardware-enforced capabilities, so if your library was never given a pointer that (even transitively) has access to some secret, it's completely SOL as it's impossible to access any memory without the corresponding capability.
No, Boole was dealing with probabilities. The first half of his investigation on the laws of thought is all ones and zeroes, but the second half admits any value in between.
You might be the exception to the rule.

> Mayor Femke Halsema complained last year that cruise tourists were let loose for a couple of hours, ate at international chains and had no time to visit a museum, consuming the city but doing little for it.

They cite 20 million visitors each year, which is a huge number of people. Even if those people each only show up for one day (evenly distributed through the year) and leave, that's 55,000 people each day, which is a huge number.

Those are people who might be putting some money into the local economy, but it sounds like the cost to the government for all of the services provided to support the tourism industry (police, healthcare, etc) isn't making enough of an impact on the local economy to justify.
I need to regularly reboot my smart bulbs and power sockets. There's definitely room for a more reliable firmware on these things.
Some of us didn't budge when entire nations, media, tech and security forces were trying to lock us down, denying are movement and associatio rights and trying to coerce us into taking things that presented no health benefit based on a played up risk profile.

We'll be okay not wearing the shit they push. You CAN say no.
Locals still work at international chains and they pay taxes though.

It’s not as much as local businesses but it’s more than nothing, unless the mayors claim is that those international businesses are negative impacts on the economy, in which case why not ban them rather than the cruise ships?

I’d guess the cruise ships are just an easy scapegoat because they are considered unfashionable.
