Just anecdotally, to append to this a bit, actually the last time I went on vacation I went to a dispensary, only for the same spot to pop up in the trip's group chat a week or two later because the same spot had gotten hit with an armed robbery. (Or at least attempted? I forget. Anyway...)
Wallace Stevens, perhaps America's greatest poet, also had a successful career working in insurance for decades. [1] is a nice short biography. It sounds like he was a committed & involved writer already before that though, and even he took some years off when he started the job and again after his daughter was born. So wherever you are, don't lose hope, but persist.

They are not selling the tools anymore. They have new versions with new batteries. In most cases higher voltage so at least there is some technical reasoning behind it but not always.
"I have basically not been to the doctor in 7 years because of medical bill fears."

I mean this kindly, but your concerns are not rational. Every middle class person I know goes to the doctor from time to time and has somehow avoided $1m dollar bills for providers listed as covered by their insurance.

While our system is bad, you are greatly overestimating the probability of something very bad happening to you.
FWIW I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying but you’re going leaps and bounds beyond your original statement, which is what prompted my original comment.

“[link to a post discussing replacing CAPTCHAs with PATs] is the greatest threat to user freedom we’ve ever seen” loses potential allies because the evidence doesn’t back up the statement.

IMO the actual threat is the centralisation of power on the internet. PATs are simply a manifestation of that power. Lots of people in this thread use Cloudflare and enjoy their products so any argument relying on “Cloudflare are evil” will likely also fall flat. “Centralised power is inherently/inevitably evil”… now we’re cooking with gas. But it’s still an uphill struggle losing people all the way.

I think it’d be quite nice to celebrate process more than results. Investigating a topic and demonstrating lacks of correlation or causation is remarkably useful for future investigators. The opposite can be said if a result falsely gets promoted which causes others to waste time in attempts of reproduction or continuing a mostly failed path of analysis.
As I understand it (and I don’t claim to understand it all that well), the processing involved in turning tetrafluoroethylene into a useful form of PTFE involves the use of fluorinated surfactants to get everything into a solution or emulsion.
I'd like to see this tested on a 210/250 with ROCm 5.6. There are improvements in the latest release that might affect the benchmarks in a positive way.
I'm American, but I know someone who seems to fit the definition of hikikomori (not just NEET), and it's been interesting to talk with him over the years.

He lives just down the road from me, but we haven't met in person since high school. We only chat over Discord. Any attempt to meet up somewhere, even if he initially seems semi-receptive, is shot down with an excuse. He lives in his childhood bedroom in his parents' house, where he plays video games 12+ hours a day and sleeps the rest of the time. As far as I can tell, he leaves the house when his parents drag him along on trips, but otherwise has no connection to the outside world. His parents are lower-middle class, so this is a huge strain on them and I get the impression that there's some tension going on as he approaches 30.

We started off having a lot in common - I struggled to find a job out of high school, but I put effort into finding one and after several years I have a decent career path. He was shocked when I mentioned that I'd started a job, and he assumed that my parents had forced me to get one. I thought it was really interesting that his mind went there first.

When I lightly approach the topic of employment, it's 50/50 whether he offers an excuse for not having a job (usually depression and/or anxiety) or just says he thinks having a job would suck. It's like he simultaneously believes he's not capable of holding down a job, and also that he just prefers playing video games all day over working. And when I think about the types of jobs that would hire a guy in his late 20s who's never had a job before (grocery store bagger? fast food?), it's a bit understandable.

I think hikikomorism, or at least our Western version of it, comes from an inability to approach some of the leaps of early adulthood. Getting your first job, moving out, going to college, etc. all involve going out of your comfort zone and diving into something unfamiliar and scary, and it seems like these people are absolutely terrified of leaving their comfort zones.

The guy I know definitely wants out, but it just seems insurmountable to him.

They want to comoditize the offerings of OpenAI, Google, MS, and Apple. Also, they gain mindshare and good will after years of bad publicity. Some back contributions might help them improve the models for free.

If they just keep their models, people won't be interested and will build over ChatGPT or Bard.
I am a lecturer. It makes me smile that we are hounding students on one hand and on the other hand typing, "create a lesson for me".
Quite impressive although if these are the cherry picked examples the average output must be pretty weak! Nothing catchy about most of these examples and the reggae one is pretty lame.
No, what the GP is claiming is a theoretical end of line, where we would need some very innovative breakthrough to go further.

Those tend to happen decades apart in a single field. And often the breakthroughs even come before the end of line does, so we jump a few decades.

Now, the GP didn't put out the reasoning why he thinks so. Without further context, there's nothing there requiring you to agree.
Topologika's Yes Chancellor – Wondering What the Chancellor's Up To?
Your equation of "successful" with "wealthy" is very much of a particular culture. It's not hard to imagine hypothetical societies (based in part on some real ones across human history) where there's no particular link between these things. You just have to define "success" in a different way (for example, based on esteem rather than income). (*)

A culture that devalues its own metrics for "success" is going through a significant transition. presumably towards different metrics. That's not "utterly destructive", though change is often accompanied by some destruction.

(*) for example, many tenured research scientists today earn more in real dollars and have more material wealth and comfort than almost any of the mid-20th century superstars. But who is the more successful scientist, Richard Feynman or someone you've never heard of with a great job at a big research university, lots of grant money flowing and a headstart from their upper-middle class parents?
> I don't usually think of the U.S. as particularly generous to the elderly

US benefits for retirees are quite generous by European standards, which is often surprising to both Americans and Europeans. Americans are consistently messaged to save for their own retirement throughout their lives, which lends to this impression.
Well, we're halfway to proving this objectively. There's a pretty thorough database of lies told during the Trump presidency, captured here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/trump-claim...

There is no identical dataset for other presidents (generally because they haven't lied enough at this level to warrant a dedicated database), but luckily, you can see that Trump's lie count goes up at a fairly steady rate week-to-week/month-to-month (i.e. there's no stretch of time where he stopped lying), so a little project for you would be:

- Go back to any other modern day president from the past 50 or so years, whoever you'd like to compare

- Pick 1 week or 1 month randomly, and pull up all their public statements or press coverage

- Then count the # of lies for that week or month, and extrapolate a comparison

I think you'll quickly find that it does not compare to Trump's overall average rate of 21 documented public facing lies per day (obviously we are not able to count private conversations).
As a Canadian, it does feel like stepping out of a time machine when you pay at restaurants in the USA. Instead of using a terminal at the table to pay yourself, you need to give the server your card and wait for them to manually process it somewhere. Maybe things have progressed in recent years. But we haven't done it that way in Canada since the early 2000's.
Interesting that it only checks for the comments page. If you (like me) read the article before coming to the comments, then you'll not see the banner.

That feels like a typical user flow, which should make the banner fairly ineffective.

I feel for the developer, even if I am annoyed by the banner. It sucks to know that folks on HN have been so mean, when on a technical level, Asahi is a great project.
What is it a complement to though?
Wonder how far off the whole "generate music based on your existing music library" thing is going to be?

That'll make musicians happy with big tech as well, just like artists are. *sigh*
Europe is better organized, simply. People are tightly crammed together compared to the US, and historically were fighting each other for 'living space' instead of progressively occupying almost a whole continent. Things just have to work better - and by and large they do.
> They aren't painting all of HN with a brush

> In addition, we find that only a tiny fraction of HN comments (often less than 1%) actually engage with the substance of our articles, with the majority being off-topic, misinformative, repetitive, or otherwise of low quality, making the overall value of HN exposure overwhelmingly negative for our project.

You sure? I feel like painting 99% of a group of people with a brush is equivalent to painting the group as a whole.
I think what that person meant was if browser default styles made semantic HTML look more beautiful, it would probably reduce the incentive for lazy devs to make div soup.

Like imagine if every browser preloaded a dozen attractive classless CSS frameworks for users and/or devs to choose from sort of like CSS Zen Garden.

If all browsers had that, I think we'd get less div soup.
I think some of the snideness is probably due to different senses of what amount of unsafe is actually needed. There’s so much premature optimization in many cases that wouldn’t even come up if the language were Java, Go or whatever. It’s totally fine to initially accept some known overhead from cloning or Rc if you don’t know yet it it’s going to significantly impact performance.
Weird indeed. And I've met all of them! What are the odds? (:
You bought them used. That is a different market and price structure. Most cars lose value drastically in the first year of ownership.

> MusicGen, which was trained with Meta-owned and specifically licensed music, generates music from text-based user inputs, while AudioGen, which was trained on public sound effects, generates audio from text-based user inputs.

Meta is really clearly trying to differentiate themselves from OpenAI here. Open source + driving home "we don't use data we haven't paid for / don't own".
> if everyone involved knows the financing has a hard stop at 7T.

Well, technically they don't know there is a hard stop at 7T. Since revenue (taxes) and expenditures are very separate things it could've been at 8T or say 11T but if it was at 11T we'd have a surplus and so this conversation would've never happened.

When you pass a bill requiring the president to do something there is no requirement to justify how anything the bill will be paid for.

Similarly, you can pass a bill adjusting the tax code without explaining where the additional revenue will go to or in the case of a decrease what programs will be removed.

---

Business works very similar to this as well. Divisions are given budgets to spend but those budgets aren't in lock-step with revenue.
I've never seen any criticism of Asahi on HN, but I'm not that deep into the topic.

While I applaud them for explaining their position clearly, it comes off as small, childish, and unprofessional. They're only drawing attention to the issue and making it worse.

Get over it. People posting comments on HN are not the real world. People write ugly things about CloudFlare, Adobe, and a hundred other companies and projects on HN all the time. You're not special. You ignore it and move on. It's called being an adult.

To Asahi: Do better.

I really think that Python is not a good language for ML, it just got "there" first.

The ecosystem is the real plus, of course. But the language is a headache for this. I agree with the "false economy" angle. I would happily trade the "agility" of dynamic "gluing" with some kind of real type safety, human-readable error messages and performance[0].

[0] - hiding C in Python's clothes doesn't count :)
Thank you for the support! I think it is a challenging product to build for sure. We're focusing with simpler procedures that involve a few CPT codes and a single provider to make the problem easier but definitely want to figure out a way to make those complex procedures shoppable.

I didn't know that they weren't allowed to offer cash rates to insured patients! Definitely a bummer from the patient's perspective (why pay for insurance if it will just cost you more...).

Yes ... and the future is bright.

I have been using FreeBSD for almost two decades now (and still use it) both privately and professionally. I stared at 'dark' 5.x times with problematic SMP implementation and DragonflyBSD split.

These back then in 2004-2005 were the 'dark times' for FreeBSD.

Since then all things improved or been reworked.

Besides ZFS inclusion many great things happened in FreeBSD that are not available anywhere else like:

- GEOM Storage Framework

- Jails with VNET or Netgraph networking

- Bhyve virtualization/hypervisor written from scratch and ported to macOS and Illumos

- new LUA based loader(8) with support for ZFS Boot Environments - beadm(8)/bectl(8)

- TLS in kernel (Netflix)

- imported DTrace for better troubleshooting and looking for performance
improvements

- Capsicum sandboxing Security framework

- 33000+ available packages in pkg(8) repository

- support for new/latest GPUs

- boot speed improved from 28 to 8 seconds: https://youtu.be/10XRCiBtyhA

- import of pf(8) OpenBSD firewall

- ported to ARM64 and POWER64 architectures

- move from M:N to 1:1 threading model in SMP

- new bsdinstall(8) installer and bsdconfig(8) companion

- sendmail(8) removed for dma(8) from DragonflyBSD

- ... and I definitely do not remember tons of other stuff (almost two decades)

Not to mention BSD license that gives you ABSOLUTE freedom and not just a glimpse of it.

Some of these features I described here:

It hasn't been around as long as Python.
> Sure, Apache 2 straight away would be nicer but in practice that’s really impossible to accommodate in a commercial context. The only alternative I know is where you keep the interesting pieces closed (eg: open core).

"impossible", huh? Wow, that must make Zulip the company really mad to hear they're going to close up shop tomorrow morning, and those GitLab folks are never going to go public </snark>

I mention GitLab as a nod to your open core comment because the MIT product they ship provides real value, as does their very real hosted offering
I'm not a physicist, but I play with circuitry... two nearby loops of wire are magnetically coupled. If one is a superconductor with some stored current, and the other is a normal conductor with some resistance, then it stands to reason that the supercurrent will burn heat off in the resistive loop.
Please just read this: https://xkcd.com/1732/
Here's a different question: Can you use the audio output this produces for anything else other than "research purposes"?
AFAIK the prefetcher doesn't help much if it's mainly busy with prefetching padding bytes of the 'inactive' unions (and I think even a smart prefetcher would at least always load whole cache lines which could be packed with active data instead). Of course that's also a bandwidth problem, you're wasting bandwidth loading data into the cache which then is ignored.
Your experience doesn't trump scientific facts about cotton's properties. But on re-reading your comment it sounds like your experience may be based on using cotton in cold climates - obviously in a cold climate, the sweat absorbed by the cotton won't dry fast enough making you feel like you are wearing a wet clothe around you (and hence the chafing experience). In hot weather, when you sweat, the cotton absorbs it and when it evaporates it helps in cooling down your body. That is why cotton is the most preferred, and recommended fabric, in any hot climate.

In fact, it is so good at cooling down your body that some exaggerate that cotton kills hikers in cold weather - https://www.heddels.com/2020/01/does-cotton-kill-the-moistur... ...
Heh, this reminds me of my ~10 year old self. I had unknowingly infected my family PC with some form of malware, but no knowledge of AV software.
I guessed, incorrectly, that perhaps the OS developers would have been smart enough to disallow users from deleting OS owned/managed files. So I went around finding and deleting everything that looked remotely official, including C:\Windows\System32. To my surprise, it worked.

> and still there are many people running around saying stupid bumper sticker slogans like “trust the science” and “I believe in science” and “95% of scientists agree

That has all to do with authoritarianism and how in partisan politics and during the covid draconian policies push (in many different countries) any dissent or non agreement was treated as a terrible sin that HAD to be punished.

Even nowadays, in HN, you'll get people repeating the mantra, downvoting and acting super obfuscated that someone dare point out that just because govs/tech/pharma/media sayd so, doesn't mean it's true, specially when we there's money and politics involved and that security or hygiene theater is nothing new.
In practice the first point relates to the second: on many projects you need to accept a CLA which gives the original right holder more permissions. That is entirely separately from BSL or else. That is not a donation.

In practical terms most of Sentry at this point is fully Apache 2 licensed.

> I have an special bitterness in my heart for companies that start out with a FOSS license and then rug pull to a non free license. I will never forgive you […] for that betrayal

BSL is for me personally something I can fully stand behind. I understand others do not and I cannot change that. However I believe we all in the Open Source community need to find better ways to have commercial and Open Source community incentives to align. BSL is the best I personally found so far.

It means we can work in the open, don’t need to do things we would not stand behind to protect the business etc. You can today like 10 years ago do what you want with Sentry what you want.

> I'm aware there's already a pseudo-fork but this bullet is to highlight what _contribution_ means in the context of 5 year old code

The rolling Sentry commits are already ahead of the ancient BSD forks I’m aware of.
No one is saying there's anything wrong with releasing your code under the BSL. What's wrong is that you're lying and claiming you're open sourcing your code.
If you go by the OSI definition of Open Source (which, I know, not every does), then it's either open source or not. In this case, that license is not open source.

https://opensource.org/osd/

> The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale.

> The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.

From CodeCov's BSL which goes directly against the above:

> You may make use of the Licensed Work, provided that you do not use the Licensed Work for a Competing Service.

-----

With that said, huge applaud to CodeCov for even making the code public under a BSL license, it's obviously a great step compared to status quo. I just wish they'd call it "Source Available/Public" instead of "Open Source" as many already seem to have troubles with what open source means.
Reasons? Its pretty clear and obvious to me, but possibly not socially correct to say.

Biology. In evolutionary terms we're still the same creatures as our neolithic ancestors. The clear division of roles by sex, that you see in most other animal species, are also baked into our brains. To the degree we cannot fill the roles that our brains tell us we should be filling, we feel useless, unfulfilled, and unhappy.

Women feel unhappy as they live out their childbearing years without a male partner, children or without fulfilling the role of mother and nurturer.

Men feel unhappy as they live out the prime of their lives without children and a female partner and fulfilling the roles of protector and provider.

Obviously there are exceptions, and compensating mechanisms. But it's not that complicated.
>Keep in mind there is a third option- CodeCov could just be honest about what they're doing.

They are. In no way was I confused about what they are doing when I read this.

It's practically speaking open source for everybody with a poison pill for companies like AWS that have successfully charged rents on open source without giving anything back (like elastic search).

Restricting the hosting monopolist's freedom in order to fund the development of open source appears to make some people extremely angry.
