Investors have been spoiled rotten with hyperbolic growth for several decades.

They feel entitled to very large returns. The executive leadership's job is to give it to them.

Gone are the days of expecting a stable, life-long dividend.

Now if you're not cutting labor costs to the bone and impoverishing your workers, applying shrinkflation strategies, or monopolizing markets and fixing prices, then you aren't able to satisfy your increasingly greedy investors.
> how do you precisely determine the parameters of the line or gradient experimentally?

Well, one way is to observe similarities in the I/O behavior of these various systems, and in particular if they exhibit any evidence that they have goals and desires, and then beyond that if those goals and desires extend beyond merely that necessary to survive and reproduce. So for example, the fact that some humans seem to want to do things like read and write and make art is IMHO is evidence that they are more conscious than salmon.
Commented this below, but:

People can do things like take loans against their investment gains, use that money for other investing. It can absolutely be invisible to the IRS as they skirt tax laws.

Another example, take the construction industry. Its estimated that half the money getting paid to construction contractors is under the table.

Rephrased: Meta starts process to leave Canadian news sites alone (eg: stop scraping sites for content).

This has nothing to do with our access to news sites in Canada.

Longer version: Meta has been copying content from Canadian news sites, to republish on it's own sites. News sites liked this because it referred free eyeballs & traffic to their sites.

Canadian news biz got Gov to write a law. The law forces some platforms to pay cash if they scrape news (and send free traffic/users to the site). Meta is fine with sending free traffic but is opting out of sending free cash too.

> But I don't want a government having any opinion on what people put into their own bodies.

Because we invest in people. We pay money to educate them, in many cases feed, shelter, and clothe them and in a variety of other ways. We expect citizens to contribute back into society. Having millions of zombies interested in nothing else than getting high is self destructive not only for the individuals we have invested in but also to our societies general longterm health.

So yes, government does have an active interest in having a healthy populace.
You can also just rent heavy construction equipment as well in alot of places, and they'll deliver it to your door.

Personally I care more about continuing to use marijuana than continuing to work. I've made enough money that I don't really need to work at least for the next decade and don't have anyone depending on me being responsible so the motivation to quit isn't really there.

I would guess marijuana only makes me about 10% worse at my job so it's not like I'm being fired like the other guy.

I use AwesomeWM since forever, with about 12 virtual desktops/workspaces. Nice thing is: it's a tiling WM but I can still put some of the workspace in "floating" mode and they then behave not unlike windows on a regular desktop (which makes some programs happy).

FWIW I'm also a big Emacs user.

>> Prop 13 property taxes reset on sales ... and property turnover rates in California are generally in excess of 10%. What that means is that pretty much all of the taxes are reset every 10 years or so

That would be assuming certain things, among which would be that if 10% of properties sell every year, there is a consistent 10% chance of a given property selling each year.

What I can tell you from looking at the data on all the houses in the neighborhood in which we bought our home in 2019 is that the vast majority of them had been last purchased more than 20 years earlier (and quite a few more than 30).

Given the significant economic incentives created by Prop 13, houses in appreciating areas should be less likely to turn over than ones in areas where values are relatively stable.
It’s how the car market operates for most of the US today. Dealers make more off used sales than they do new.
> Not sure what the answer is but just waving a wand and making hard drugs legal is not it.

Make them actually legal (and thus more safe), tax them heavily, use a portion of said taxation to educate properly and then support and rehabilitate those who need it. Don't allow unsafe activities in public places that cause an unsafe environment.

This really isn't that complicated, we've just been under the spell of prohibition for so long waking up can be a bit disorienting.

So what's happening is they are demonstrating diamagnetism. Basically when exposed to an external magnetic field, that field induces a response in the material that repels it.

When people think of magnetism, they think of polar charges that either attract or repel other polar charges. Diamagnetism is neat in that regardless of the orientation and polarity of the external field, a diamagnetic material is always repelled.

Now why this matters. All superconductors exhibit diamagnetism, but not all diamagnetic materials are superconductors. So this lends credibility to lk-99 being a potential super conductor because they have been able to show it has one of properties of a superconductor.

But we're still far off from showing it is a superconductor. That will be harder because impurities and other factors can confound the results, so right now the focus is on synthesis and confirming some of the easier properties we expect to see
How much money does actually go into this? I know it's an active research area, but I didn't get the idea this is some kind of "main" focus for humanity. For example a figure I could find is that US$24.5 billion is spend on cancer research (which frankly I find extraordinarily low). I couldn't find a figure online but I doubt it's even 10% of that.

To me it just sounds more like we are just playing around a little bit and not actually taking finding a room temperature super conductor seriously.

At the highest level, it's difficult to argue that anything actually matters.

So being in a hurry is as pointless as pondering endlessly to make the best choice.

But since we create our own isolated realities, most of which are human-lifetime based, we tend to care about the passage of hours or days. And in that scope, sometimes being quick seems important, but also having perspective and time for reflection can.

There is a time (pardon the pun) for blitz chess, and there's a time for clockless chess. What matters actually is the experience, not the outcome. If we believe that our approach resulted in a better outcome, we are happier.

I interpreted the parent comment to mean the bets don't have an influence in supply/demand behavior as they could in other cases. E.g if the markets heavily favor presidential candidate A to win, that may cause more people to vote for A, or for their opponents to stay home. Nothing like that can happen in this case because it's the laws of physics. It doesn't mean the bets can't instantiate some crowd sourced wisdom about physics or scientific research.
They are currently not auto-generated. (I only implemented the absolute minimum to get started calling the most commonly used OpenCV methods from Nim.) Hopefully the bindings will be auto-generated be in the future, though!
Evading JavaScript anti-debugging techniques
On the original gnu machine (a Vax 750 that had been lying around unused) I made emacs my shell in /etc/passwd. The machine had BSD Unix on it and that was so unpleasant I preferred to go straight into emacs.

Nowadays of course, SVr4 Unix/Linux is the best you can get. How the mighty have fallen.

The /etc/passwd entry was actually a one-page trampoline that exec'ed emacs (as -emacs of course) or, if invoked under anything other than init, /bin/sh for the subprocess of emacs case -- bash hadn't been written yet.
Every day stuff:

* Frictionless bearings

* Incredibly efficient wind turbines

* Incredibly efficient motors

* Magnetic Grid Storage

* Even mor gianter particle colliders

* The usual futuristic crap like maglev trains

* All sorts crazy applications in everything from Heavy Industry to Mining to Medicine to Recycling

I think the most exciting application is widely available superconductors unlock a new region of physics. I look at superconductivity as the garden gate... Once we're inside the exotic garden, we don't even know what we don't know.

Think about it... if we could induce superconductivity with a light switch, what other particles in nature have a similar states or effects? Likely once we have a toehold we can use to study superconductivity with, we'll discover even more stuff we didn't know about.
"Telemetry" frequently includes more than low-cardinality metrics. This article (and my root comment) mentions crash information, for example, which could easily include function names and other user information (username is often part of file paths, which are often part of crash information).

And the example is really not contrived. For example, homosexuality has waffled between "get married, love is love" and "your government is explicitly trying to kill you" repeatedly around the world. Congratulations! You worked on Grindr two years ago when they started their internet dragnet, as they can see by information coming from your compiler, on your machine, at your home! You now have to flee the country.

They're not going to be looking for your compiler crash logs, they're looking at everything they can possibly collect for keywords, and oopsie, there's one.

You (you personally and the "royal" you) cannot predict what will matter in the future, and your legitimate-threats do not match everyone else's legitimate-threats. I agree privacy-extremists exist, but so do other kinds of extremists and extreme situations. Ignorance of those doesn't mean they don't exist.

Screw Ford dealers.

Ford should go direct. Lobby for changing the law to get rid of these parasites.

I just bought a ford less than a year ago. One of those Maverick trucks since the gas mileage is really good. It's a good suburban truck for hauling or camping that still lets you commute to the city and navigate tight spaces.

The hybrids were actually marked up the worst, often 10k rather than 5k, and couldn't have AWD which was one of my requirements.
I'm looking forward to the Y2k69 hysteria.

I like the text, but the author seems to indicate there is a fork in the road ahead. Take left to the open web (HTML, lessJS, etc.); take right to the commercial web (Fb, GA4, JS, Ads etc). I think we can easily have both options at the same time.

If in the past we used to discuss our "work life" in opposition to our "personal life", I think we are at the point now of discussing our "small-tech text based web presence" vs. a "big-tech click based web presence" as described. Not a big deal, I think.

A company that is on track to reach even remotely close to FANG status has already taken on significant investments. From, by necessity, many investors in the Bay Area.

That means the board wouldn't put requirements on investors, and they'd reign in any attempt by the CEO to do so. Even if the idea of restricting investors by location wasn't incredibly bad business in the first place.

You're also forgetting that money makes residence meaningless. If you are indeed in the "ultra wealthy" class, you have a residence in wherever is most advantageous to you, and other pads to hang in. Your investments will happen through companies located wherever is most advantageous to you as well. Need a new location, spin up an extra company.

It's an interesting thought experiment, but it seriously misjudges the balance of power between folks having money and those possibly generating money at a later point.
It took me a minute to grasp that "capture" here meant not recording the screen but like making an offline copy of the website similar to crawling it, but it (I think) also crawls the interactions, not just the document links.
Because it's a source control system, which means it's intended to store source code, not the artifacts generated from the source code. It seems far-fetched that anyone would manage to author 1 TB of source code.
Show HN: IdentityLM, cryptographic proof of identity via language model output
Hi HN,

IdentityLM allows you to create text from a language model that is statistically signed by you, in a way that is computationally very hard to replicate, and computationally very easy to verify.

It builds on current research around logit biasing, statistically advantaging certain tokens in a deterministic way. That research focuses on watermarking language model output to identify the model it came from. A really good paper about this idea was just awarded outstanding paper at ICML - https://arxiv.org/pdf/2301.10226.pdf.

I’ve basically taken that research and interpreted it in the context of public key cryptography. The readme of the github repo is basically small white paper describing how it works.

Why should you care?

First of all, we can fight scams and deepfakes with it which I know everyone is worried about with generative models becoming so good at simulating a politician, or writing convincing phishing emails and so on. Using speech-to-text it could also verify phone identities.

Second, it’s allows transferable identity and trust across any internet platform. You can prove who you are anywhere, and link different profiles, just with natural text.

Third, it allows extra encryption around pretty much anything. It adds an extra layer of proof to any interaction or communication.

Love to have any comments or feedback!

I recently visited Portland and is was shocking. Sad because aside from stunning homelessness and crime out in the open it's actually a beautiful quirky city. 1br luxury apts / condos are well designed and reasonably priced. Restaraunts and culture are incredible and feel deeply grounded in community - a far cry from what Austin (my home town) now considers "weird" or cool.

I'd live there in a second if the state / city cleared up the nutty violent "activists" and homeless all over the place.

This is what people are missing, defeating US / degrading US prescence in East Asia / PRC backyard that put and sustains PRC-TW civil war in stasis is the ultimate PRC strategic vision.

US isn't going to relinquish East Asian security architecture without a fight - bulk of PLA modernization is directed towards that fight.

> However if I'm listening to electronica (no vocals, e.g. progressive trance), I can listen to it while working.

Entirely agree, I’m listening to a Hernan Cattaneo mix rn, which is more prog house (tho I’ve read about the impassioned debates between the two sides that used to take place over something like which got to claim Sasha’s Xpander lol) and I cannot listen to anything else while working.

> The way I reason this, is it's like my river of thoughts is moving faster.

I’ve long wondered the same and it just occurred to me now that that specific bpm range could be analogous to a pace car. It has enough tempo to get u, and keep u, in “the zone” while not being too up-tempo to be overwhelming. Additionally, the consistent bpm and lack of vocals accomplishes the above for me while still not being distracting.

And to your idea of a “river” or “stream” I think that’s y I find pronounced breakdowns jarring in this context because it’s basically an interruption.

However if I’m doing abstract thinking and exploring my thoughts in depth, that idea of a pace car is detrimental so I prefer silence for that
