> Borosilicate glass is much more likely to survive this type of abuse.

And when it doesn't, borosilicate too can shatter due to thermal shock. Hence, "Don't forget that borosilicate glass also cracks with thermal shock".

Here's the Consumer Reports article on the topic back from 2013, at https://web.archive.org/web/20130430032310/http://www.consum...

"""We baked at least five samples of each brand in a 450-degree oven. All of the U.S. Pyrex and Anchor dishes shattered when placed on the wet countertop. None of the European dishes made of borosilicate broke, except one practice-run Arcuisine Elegance dish that had been through two baking cycles in our lab. At 400 degrees, we tested two samples each of the U.S. brands against two samples of Arcuisine. All of the American-brand dishes broke but the European brand did not.

When the oven was turned up to 500 degrees, all three of the European Pyrex dishes broke and two of the three Arcuisine dishes broke. We also tested a decades-old Pyrex dish in like-new condition given to us by a staff member's mother. Made by Corning of borosilicate glass, it didn't break, even at 500 degrees"""

The European Pyrex dishes were made of borosilicate glass.

To be very clear, these temperatures are extremely high, and "the test was contrary to instructions on the back of the label." The goal of the test was to see what the safety margin might be for cookware which might get scratched or damaged over time.

> Tempered soda lime glass may well have an advantage there (but any object & its material has its limits of course).

The sources I pointed to say it does have the advantage, and that advantage outweighs the thermal shock advantage.
I have been intentionally toxic to my family for years, and only recently succeeded in having them cut me out of their lives.

The "unseverable" bonds of family have caused a litany of mental and physical problems for me my entire life. It's only since my "toxic" behavior finally exhausted their fidelity that I've begun to feel like myself.
>but your employment contract can be terminated with a notice period anytime ("Kündigung")

Yes, that's what I meant by being fired, with notice. You thought I meant being fired without notice which is uncommon anywhere in Europe unless the employee did something illegal.

The fact that in Austria your employer can terminate your employment contract anytime with a notice period, and for no reason, is very rare in Europe as it makes employees super vulnerable to loosing their jobs anytime.

In most EU countries, with better employee protections, employers need valid reason and proof to terminate your contract with notice, otherwise they can get sued for wrongful termination and have to pay penalties.

Also, in Austria you can even get fired (with notice) while you're on sick leave, which is pretty barbaric by EU standards.

They decided to use Swift - it will need to be ported to Windows to gain traction and justify the VC funding.

The problem is that the Swift for Windows platform is not really a thing.

When it comes to your quality of life, there are a lot of factors besides the cost of living - social circle, weather, job opportunities, hobbies, cultural compatibility etc. For a lot of people, expensive metro areas can also be the only places where they have friends & family or where they can pursue their hobbies. As an immigrant of color, I simply cannot see myself living happily in rural Ohio even if that could be a wonderful place for someone else.

I think they support what you want but I've not checked in a while. I'm not sure if it's still the case but AWS used to use them when you registered a domain through them.
Last time this showed up on HN, I complained about it not having CASE WHEN equivalent, which I've seen heavily used in ETL usecases. Now I see they added it!

Pretty cool and responsive. I'll go take it up for a spin.
I would honestly believe this would be the same results if a moderately popular user posted this poll with those options to their social media.

While I agree with most of what you said...

"It is within human nature to not care about things they do not have to deal with personally. "

Is people not caring about climate change (In North America and Europe specifically) because it will not really effect them in a major way (compared to poorer countries, or people is SE Asia) just humans acting like humans, and to get them to care is asking humans to not act like humans?
"Supporters hope to have [FCC nominee Anna Gomez] confirmed before the Senate breaks for its month-long August recess at week-end... It only takes 50 Senators to approve Gomez’s nomination, with Vice President Kamela Harris as a tiebreaker. But it appears her confirmation may not be that tight since a handful of Republicans voted to advance her selection out of committee when it came up for a vote two weeks ago."

There's a really interesting movie called "We Live in Public" that documents one of the early tech pioneers Josh Harris as he sells his internet radio company and then creates an underground CCTV community. It's fascinating and equally frightening how people behaved towards one another while sharing space and constantly watching each other. It reminds me a lot the relationship many twitch streamers have with their viewers. You can find the movie for free on Tubi (in the states at least).

How much VRAM one needs to run inference with llama 2 on a GPU approximately?
This is the scariest thing I've read in a long time.

It is MOLOCH. We keep re-summoning MOLOCH.
Ha - I know where you're coming from, but, like every opinionated SOB on this site, can't help but throw in my own opinion*:

1) The parent comment seems completely neutral and non-judgmental. Seems quite just "I had this experience", essentially a set of facts (compared to frequent enough comments that possibly really ought to generate a response / "note of approbation").

2) Stereotypes are the epitome of judgmental thinking, language, attitudes, etc. That may sound judgmental itself, and I apologize for that - that's due, in part, to connotation "issues" with words we use (although, I can't, obviously, claim that even removing those removes all of that issue - I am literally labeling and characterizing strictly in denotation). To be fair, people, in general, can be very smug.

In my experience, there has been an "enrichment" of that in "IT", but, for example, try talking to some of the especially high-ranking surgeons, say ... or, certain professors. In particular, I've personally come across a somewhat bimodal distribution, I think. Some people who reach "very high levels of expertise" are very humble ("right-sized" - not subservient or etc.) and super nice (surprisingly willing to help and talk to even "the layman" / "novice"). Then, there are the outright "arrogant bastards".

So, to add some kind of summation - calling out "IT people" specifically, and especially the parent comment ... well, what's the point? Again - not meant to be rhetorical or aggressive ... but, I think many would agree that people in general should cut that $h1t out.

This opinion brought to you by my "Big Giant Head... remember, when you're thinking of giant heads, think [my] Big Giant Head..."**

> It's a bit like how in Big Brother and other reality shows people first try to show their best side, to show restraint. But over time, and with stress, despite all the cameras, despite the knowledge the world watches, you slowly revert to being yourself.

Hah, I'd never have considered the parallels between Big Brother and Twitter before but you're spot on here - even more so when you consider the existence of Celebrity Big Brother showing that celebrities are - of course - people who act like people do. Musk isn't the only famous person who's been unable to stop revealing who they are on Twitter, but he's certainly the one who's taken it the farthest.
The cybertruck will manage 14,000lbs on a monocoque. Just because traditionally this hasn't been the case doesn't mean you can't make a monocoque that can tow. The truck industry has had little incentive to innovate here until very recently as for 40 years vintage body-on-frame architectures have sold and sold. As I said - I'm not disagreeing that body on frame does have some legitimate use cases today - it's just that with modern construction techniques it's much more rarely going to be private transport.
For your point (1) I can offer you https://sequence-diagrams.netlify.app which is my years-old quick diagramming tool for Mermaid and works similarly.

For your point (2) I offer the same alternative, but with the caveat that of the 3 criteria of elegant/thoughtful design, beautiful diagrams, and export functionality, it meets only the last 2 (and I claim little personal credit in any case).
I don't think that long uptimes is unix culture at all. unix was always about being small, simple and fun to use, A place where having something now is much more valuable than being correct later. A hackers OS. This is also where most of the sins of unix come from.

"We went to lunch afterward, and I remarked to Dennis that easily half the code I was writing in Multics was error recovery code. He said, "We left all that stuff out. If there's an error, we have this routine called panic(), and when it is called, the machine crashes, and you holler down the hall, 'Hey, reboot it.'"

Replace the twenty dollar with the tens of millions at minimum if basic technical analysis (ie. dead cat bounce level stuff) is leveragable and yeah I think you have a pretty close approximation to reality: more likely you are hallucinating than you found $20 million on the street.
The question is always: What's the alternative? People who are either addicted to what they get from Twitter, or whose job depends on it, have no other place to go. Of course there are other platforms, but those only have a tiny fraction of the user base, meaning less content and less attention.

In a minute or two, Google won't be hosting your domains anymore anyway, it's back to Squarespace with you, like it or not!

https://www.squarespace.com/press-releases/2023/6/15/squares...

Under the terms of the agreement, Squarespace will honor all existing Google Domains customers' renewal prices for at least 12 months following the closing of the transaction, as well as provide additional incentives to encourage Google Domains customers to build a website with Squarespace and adopt other Squarespace offerings. Further, Squarespace will be leveraging Google's infrastructure powering the Google Domains product during the migration period in order to ensure the seamless transfer of domains.

Upon closing, Squarespace, a long- time reseller of Google Workspace, will become the exclusive domains provider for any customer purchasing a domain along with their Workspace subscription from Google directly for a minimum of three years. Squarespace will also provide billing and support services to Google Workspace customers that signed up for the service through Google Domains. Customers will continue to have the option to make changes to their domains account at any time.
I've silently been a big fan of this approach for years but hadn't heard about it anywhere (most likely because I'm not familiar with Pulumi).

That does already exist to some extent. It's relatively niche for now and unlikely to ever get significant market share, but it warms my heart to know that people are doing just that through CHATONS[1]. I can't speak for them, but as a user it a provides a framework for this type of service to be commoditised, but also independent. Not all the providers offer the same services, but I can fairly easily swap provider knowing that the core philosophy is consistent.

It's a natural extension of Framasoft, where they opened up their concept so that they were not a single point of failure.

The providers are almost exclusivey based in Europe currently[2], likely due to the French origins of Framasoft. But there's no reason it has to stay thay way.

Often the user-space API limits the design of internals and available features. I for one would like to see the classical hierarchical filesystem gone, but POSIX (and UNIX) at its core is about the filesystem.

If you need to run the existing programs, feel free to develop a translation layer, at the same time allowing a new type of OS paradigm to emerge.

I think Scribblenauts (and maybe The Sims) implemented emotions in a similar way. When a character feels Hungry, their directive becomes "find food." Hunger is going to take precedence over Boredom's directive ("find toys").

I don't know if they're technically signals or states or something else; there seem to be conditions by which some are triggered, and circumstances by which some just become True/False when other conditions are met/unmet.

So your theory seems to work. The only exception is anything depression-related, because what are you supposed to do about it (it's a nebulous emotion whose drivers we cannot fully articulate, which makes "find joy" as useless a directive as "overthrow capitalist society," "take SSRIs" and "touch grass").
You need to believe in a very narrow solution corridor for that.

I don't know about how many people keep holding, but we just experienced a 30%+ fall in tech stocks (and 25% fall in sp500) last year. I held all my stocks because, well, what else was I going to invest in? And if I don't have a different preferred allocation, then I'm just trying to time the market.

My experience (thankfully not paid for with real money, but fake trading) has shown me I am not good at market timing, particularly knowing when to get back in, so I don't bother trying.

It doesn't really take restraint so much as an acceptance that I will likely not do better than buy & hold. I don't enjoy seeing my balance go down, but I am not close to retirement, so I accept that I need to wait it out to catch market rallies because I am not paying super close attention to markets.
Because we effectively live in a Unix monoculture world, in terms of operating systems that you can actually use and study the inner workings of.

It was a legal anomaly that resulted in early Unix (aka Research Unix) being distributed with its source code for free to universities, which was enough to get the ball rolling on stuff like BSD and Lion's annotated V6 source code, that by the time AT&T decided that closed source commercial Unix was the game it wanted to play, the cat was already out of the bag.

By the time the free software and open source movements had gained some ground, enough people had studied or worked on some kind of Unix kernel and Userland source code that projects like Linux, Minix, and Free/Net/Open BSD were feasible. The fact that Linux running on x86 subsequently ate the world was probably something few people saw coming.

The other lineages of operating systems, e.g. Windows NT, OpenVMS, IBM's various offerings, either never have their source released or only have their source released long after they're obsolete.
While the site is pretty cool I don't think it will convince anyone because it argues both from the perspective of someone who isn't on IG to people who aren't on IG. Nobody who's on IG actually thinks about IG like this. As crazy as it sounds to people on HN people seem to generally like the ads on IG. Stories are about posting and seeing what your friends are up to just like Snap stories, Reels are just IG posts but in TikTok format.

This kind of content is dangerously close to "kids today and their rap music" or "it's those violent video games." If you want to persuade more than just my parents whose only experience with IG is what the nightly news says about it you have to show how my posting my vacation photos and scrolling through is bad for my mental health. Because it absolutely is but it doesn't touch on why in a way that's actually relatable to IG users.

It's less about the fridge than about the stove. Or rather, the time to spend in front of it.

Healthy, inexpensive meals can take a lot of time to prepare. You could spend an hour making beans and rice, or you can take something labeled "Healthy!" out of the freezer and nuke it for two minutes.

A lot of the poorest people don't have time or energy for that. Even people with more money often think of themselves as time-starved. It would be better for their health and well-being to get around that, but it's hard to compete with the messages of fast food marketing. That marketing is often deliberately misleading with false "healthy" claims, and the food itself is incredibly easy to eat. They are fine-tuned to appeal to people, in part by packing in a ton of calories and excluding anything else that would dilute the flavors.

Combined with a ton of mixed messages and extraordinary amounts of wishful thinking, even people who should know better often don't put it into practice. And a lot of people genuinely don't have the time or energy to know better.
I'd strongly disagree that intelligence has a clear meaning. Depending on who you ask, you can get answers anywhere from "slime molds are intelligent" (they can hunt for food, solve mazes, etc) to "only humans are intelligent".

> Fully systematic traders exist and make money. Efficient Markets Theory says they shouldn't, but they do anyway.

The post you are responding to already answered this question.

Here is the answer: "it would, like most other techniques that can actually generate sustainable alpha, be a closely guarded secret"

So, to answer the question, the important stuff in the trading strategies that you mentioned, include information asymmetry. Those systemic traders have hidden information, and hidden strategies that they use, and they don't just given everyone open source access to their code.
What are the laws around the government punishing government employees for criticizing the government?

I'm not an expert but it doesn't really seem like a first amendment issue although I think most would agree that the government shouldn't be punishing its own employees for conduct like this.
I don't really understand your question.

About arms-length. No curve, I run it at 175% scaling which at 55" makes everything large enough that even the corners are easily readable.

I used to run a 42" 4k monitor before this at 100% scaling, which made everything a little too small in the corners and I kinda wished it was curved, but with the 55 it's no problem.

Yep. Coming from someone who has lost a lot of weight and got into the best shape of my life using CICO, there is no other explanation. Of course food quality matters a lot because you won’t feel as hungry. I’d argue even exercise makes you less hungry as a whole. Of course there are probably chemicals in our environment that are making us fatter, but it's definitely not a silver bullet, maybe responsible for 10-20lbs of excess fat if even that.
