"He's racist!"

It's sad that this term has lost so much meaning these days, thanks to people like you who just throw it around at anyone you disagree with.

Whenever I hear someone say that now, my immediate reaction is to think "this is a low-IQ nutjob" and I stop listening.
This varies highly by where you want to work. Government and adjacent places love certs.
> Even better is to use the helium3-helium3 reaction, which completely annihilate to produce pure energy as the output (welcome to e=mc^2, enjoy your stay).

It doesn't completely annihilate to produce pure energy. It produces helium-4 and two protons. Or you can react helium-3 + deuterium to produce helium-4 and one proton. The point is that helium-4 and protons are easier to shield against than neutrons, don't turn your reactor radioactive, and at least in theory their energy can be extracted directly (eg through induction) instead of through heat.

Edited to add: except helium-3 + deuterium still produces neutrons, because sometimes the deuterium will react with itself to produce helium-3 and a neutron.
> Potential competitors from that era, including, in particular, "Mercurial", largely fall into categories of "trade-offs".

Which "trade-offs" are you referring to?

Mercurial was, and still is, a solid DVCS. It's not often used today because it lost the popularity contest, due to several reasons[0], but technically it's as good as Git, and functionally it's even better. It has a much saner and friendlier UI, which is the main complaint about Git.

A simple baseline would be competency.

I would compare the Twin towers falling to them not falling, for example.

Can we not point to some kind of success this country's made, in unambiguous terms? Have we eradicated any diseases? Some sort of government action that has a clear cause and effect? Statistics are too prone to manipulation and classification mismatching. For example, you don't count as unemployed in the US stats unless you're actively looking for work. Someone who's given up the search is not counted. Methodology counts immensely for statistics, and those choices will change the numbers.

We could counter the shooting angle with the number of mass shootings stopped. That's something we can work with. I've only seen one in recent memory and I'm not sure if it was this year or last year.
Yes. I don't think super conduncting ressonators of any design are perfect.

Where do you get that coordination and creativity require in person time?

I would argue that most creative activities are better done alone in a cabin in the middle of the woods. And I coordinate just fine with tools available online.
At first it wasn't working for me either, then I turned off my adblock, refreshed cache, tried again, and it worked. Not sure which part specifically helped.

You need to click "Model 3" (or whichever other model you were trying to find a service manual for) in the top nav bar. If everything went right, you will see this screen[0], with all the needed links (instead of what you saw previously).

Agreed. I put my pills in the dishwasher and I don't know why they aren't working.
I'm sorry, but that's not comparable. Whatever Snowden might have done wrong is nothing compared to the shit he exposed.
I use `git rebase -i` all the time and it's great but it involves rewriting history, which essentially means the result is almost guaranteed to give you conflicts in any case where you want to merge or rebase it with another branch that shares some of the commits in your rebase.

Whereas in Pijul history is preserved. In Pijul a "branch" (called a "channel") is just a set of applied patches. I'm still a little ignorant but if I'm not mistaken the way Pijul encodes patches, in a big graph, also means that they're more likely to be composable without conflicts in the first place. And when conflicts do arise their resolutions will be more reusable.

Just today I was performance profiling various subsets of a set of changes using "git cherry-pick" and "git revert", to understand how these changes interacted and which ones gave the best results. It was fine but I had to do quite a bit of conflict resolution because some of them were based on one branch and some on another, and the resulting wouldn't even be easily mergable/reusable anyway.

What if I could instead just pick a few patches I wanted to mix & match and run some benchmarks over every combination of them? Then I could pick the fastest combo without needing to worry about messing up my history? With Pijul I imagine this would be a breeze.

I'm looking forward to trying it now that it's getting stable.
Arizona resident here...

We have a canal that goes to the Colorado river, and Phoenix is in an active management area (AMA) water district. The state is actively working to be at a point where the canal isn't necessary to supply our water needs, and any excess capacity gets "banked" into aquifers or water reservoirs. People love to shit all over Phoenix for being in the middle of a desert with no rivers, but there are some extremely well managed and healthy aquifers out here (and ones where it's the Wild West, which is what you hear about on the news, like in Rio Verde).

In fact, the water management here is probably one of the most forward thinking and strategic in the entire country.

Our aquifers in Phoenix have been RISING since we enacted more stringent measures in the 1980s. Read that again, because it surprises people, but we have more water in most of the Phoenix metro water wells than we did 40 years ago.

Last I heard, we were planning on being entirely water neutral for our water aquifers in Phoenix, Prescott and Tucson by 2025. That means like 80-90% of the states population will be located near water sources that are sustainable and well managed.

Maybe you should use your eyes to read and not blindly click buttons? It very clearly says 2FA is required, if you say not now, you cannot use it.
Good catch, by logic, but you're wrong, in reality:

The mistake is mine, though.
I did not make my point clear enough.

My intention, by saying gadzooks (a word from an earlier century, that I have read in historical novels, such as by Georgette Heyer - I'm not a scholar), was to express surprise, and to indicate that bawdy writing was not only from the 19th century, but existed much prior to that.

Hence the references I gave.

And they're not even very old. Bawdy writing probably existed from hundreds, if not thousands, of years earlier.

And bawdiness is human and global, dude, I mean, tovarisch ;-). No need to limit it to Russia.
To the author: you should include a parragraph on the repo README explaining how pijul compares to git.

Learning git kinda sucks, but once you learn it there's very little incentive to invest time in learning other version control tools. The extra features rarely justify the additional effort. Like I thought Fossil was kinda neat, but I still stuck with git.
i read it more as a "horses -> cars" thing, like people still riding on horses will be soon eclipsed by people in cars, for all the efficiency reasons cars ultimately won in the end

place your bets? i went horseback riding once and had a great time...
It’s something. It would fix a large complaint with most offices, and it shows that you’re really trying. You know what else would be trying? Offering other other incentives. Like increased pay to compensate for the commute time and cost.

Bringing in cupcakes once a month it’s not trying. Simply threatening layoffs is not trying. Saying the word culture 30 times is not trying.

The pandemic proved work from home works for a large number of people and many of them found at a serious quality of life improvement. trying to take that away and asking people to pretend it didn’t exist in exchange for some stupid token like adding a couple extra plants to the office so it feels more “homey“ shows employees that you don’t care about them AT ALL. Just like it did when you tried to force them back into the office during the initial height of a deadly pandemic.
Yep. Hence the economic alarms about salaries being “too high”: remote work enables geo-arbitrage, which removes a significant portion of employer leverage.

If employees could buy their way out of the system, then, by definition, capital is leaving power and money on the table. And it absolutely loathes that.
You should have a spam filter. I should have a spam filter. We, the collective we, should not. A ton of things should be done to prevent spam - a vast majority of spam is also fraud, and should be tackled that way much quicker than it is. The delegation to the government (or large enterprises) to "fix the spam problem" has resulted in our current state of innundation.
Seems like an important topic. The billionaires don't want to be killed by their servants.
I must not understand how bail works in federal court.

SBF's bail was 250 million dollars.
out here in the my world, you have to find a bail bondsman, who commits to covering the entire bail amount, makes sure you have enough assets to cover the entire bail amount, charges you ten percent of the bail amount. You don't get the 10 percent back.

Larry Kramer, former dean of Stanford's law school, pledged to cover 500,000 of it.
Andreas Paepcke, a Stanford computer scientist, pledged to cover 200,000 of it.

SBF's parents have a house under a weird agreement where sale of the house is strictly controlled by Stanford University.

SBF's parents pledged to cover the rest of it (I think?)

There is no way SBF's parents are worth 25 million dollars. Or 249 million dollars. Unless SBF parked millions of dollars of FTX profits with them. which just opens more questions.
This is a weird jump.

Usually technology bumps out the lowest class workers, but genAI is taking a bite right out of the middle to upper class... certain executives, office salespeople, some programmers, actors, and such will be replaced by robots before garbage workers, lawn services or roofers.

>The government requested that Bankman-Fried be remanded to a jail in Putnam, New York, where he’d have access to a laptop with internet access for defense preparation, as opposed to sending him to Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, the facility closest to the courthouse that has limited internet access for prisoners.

It's a lucky thing that the other low-profile prisoners in the Metropolitan Detention Center have no need to prepare their defenses.
It's entirely possible to travel to Russia, and not even inconvenient if you're an American. The flights are a little longer, but the visas are generous (3 year, multi entry). The amazing museums remain open, and the people are more friendly and hospitable than you'd expect.
Add a zero. Then it’s a real offer.
Doing nothing is very hard for most people. Doing nothing takes discipline!
Making old technology viable instead of buying new one, or even worse tinkering with it and unlocking or adding new functionality corporations reserved for higher end models, professional equipment or just outright didn't want to implement assured it will never happen. In the past only few tinkerers actually cared about this. Now everything is on the internet and everyone have access to it. This is a season for planed obsolescence after all.

I'm not saying it's good, it's just what it is.

Complexity implies a creator if you can't cite the theory of evolution. You are trying to say "nothing" designed them and they lack any intelligent design. GA have intricate, complex rules and codes. There is and has only been one version of the algorithm.
We can slice it the way we want. We can talk about office space cost or "decreased productivity" or whatever. The real reason these execs are pissed at remote workers is because these filthy peons now get to enjoy a bit of the freedom/flexibility that was until then reserved to them.
Huh. That's surprising but quite persuasive, thank you for the references. I like the general view that a non-axiomatic divide can't introduce unsoundness so define it however is useful.

It has somewhat kicked the can down the road to defining the multiplicative inverse, but that's still a good step forward. Thank you

Did you know that one of the largest banks in Athens was owned / run by two slaves?

> Edward E. Cohen returns to the issue of slave-owned businesses previously addressed in his work on Athenian banking, reasserting his view that enslaved business owners were liable for their own debts. Through comparison with the Roman system, he argues that the Athenian conventions of credit worked alongside this legal liability.

IIRC, the slaves incorporated the bank, and then the bank (as a legal entity) paid the master of said slaves for the services of the slaves through a leasing arrangement.

Oh I’ve seen that AliEx one. Apparently the word “sign in” in Chinese and “sign up” in Japanese happens to share the literal(“登録”), and it’s the exact same binary in UTF-8, so some software might have no clue about that.

IANAL, but to me it looks like this CPL is basically SSPL.

At least as far as I could understand after running a diff between AGPL->SSPL, and AGPL->CPL.
if you set up gtp in a loop continuously prompting “given the current sensor inputs, how can i best serve my own interests?” you would already be most of the way there even if it did some strange and stupid things half the time. all you would need is a layer that translates those outputs into physical action. you could probably get most of the way there with more gtp instances tasked with translating the action items above them into more granular actions. if gtp didnt hallucinate or make mistakes, which would be consistent with the history of other technologies, then this simple setup could be extremely formidable. it could definitely be a threat to humanity. and thats just what i can think of off the top of my head.

to dismiss the possibility that machines will soon be created that can think clearly and independently, and that they would be a threat to the human race and our way of life, is extremely foolish. it was foolish even before gtp but now its downright childish and selfish. just swallow the bitter pill like the rest of us.

“Just put a cache in front of it to speed it up” is up there along with everyone’s favourite misunderstood “(premature) optimisation is the root of all evil” when it comes to performance and efficient software in my opinion.

Caching is mostly a lie. Redis will not “make” your application faster. It will just let you pretend the problem doesn’t exist for a while, and then when the caching eventually falls over, you will be even more stuck, because you’re now past your scaling limits, with no more defenses left and software that has been (continually) built without the understanding of its performance requirements.
I don’t think it’s really a conspiracy theory, this a fundamental aspect of American capitalism.

Health insurance is a perfect example of a carrot that companies want to maintain control over in order to maintain a dedicated workforce. By keeping “affordable” (eye roll) access to healthcare tied to a full time job, they keep butts in seats. This isn’t new or isolated to tech companies. It’s always been about maintaining control from the top.

A friend of mine works at a company that keeps pushing full time RTO. One of the big arguments is the CEO is always there every single day. “Setting the tone“.

For an hour or two. The rest of the time he works from home.

If you (Snowden in this case) take an unlawful action out of reasonable necessity to defend yourself and others from the criminal acts of another (the US gov in this case), the latter is responsible for it, not the former (subject to certain limits like murder https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_v_Dudley_and_Stephens).
From my read of the article it's mainly from the peer to peer nature of the setup. With Tailscale and wireguard you know where traffic is coming from and where it is going as it's not going through a central gateway.

You also can find out it's VPN data as it isn't tunnled over https or using any other masking methodology.

I belive you wouldn't find anything out about the data inside the wireguard tunnel just the wireguard tunnel metadata.

Honestly, when I work from home, I watch TV all day. Not literally -- I mostly read HN and other sites, do personal email, do household tasks, walk the dogs, do a load of laundry. I still get my work done, to a "meets expectations" level, which takes me a few hours, normally right after lunch, and that's good enough for me.
What about a kickstarter (or similar) or lifetime offers on appsumo. Might bring in extra cash fast.

Much of this discussion is swallowed up in two differing definitions of "design." They contrast chip design with leafblower design. Chips are very fussy and require lots of patience and intellect to be useful to people, while the latter's success is more rooted in the aesthetics, ergonomics, user needs of everyday families. This isn't saying they're wrong, just a sloppy way to talk about it.

What they're really saying is the path from CAD to CAM is shorter than ever, and more integrated. It sounds pretty great. It does make me curious about where the tooling cost outstretches the gap between family and factory owner. Probably making lots of Temu-grade consumer goods, such as a disposable lawn mower, or a coffee maker that's good for 6 months. Which is of course horrific for long-term ecology. It would be nice to see this amount of cleverness directed at extracting usable materials from landfills :) :) :)

There was a comment in HN a couple of days ago where someone said they had a hard time getting an apartment for years until they finally asked what was going on, then had a hard time fixing someone else's mistake. The computer was erroneously telling all of the leasing offices that the HN user owed someone thousands of dollars.

Garbage in, garbage out.

Terrible example. Josephine did take the BF's arguments into consideration. She said "yes you're right on all these points but even so it is a more personal gift than just cash". Unless the BF pits forward another idea he lost the discussion.

The main point is valid - don't let the other party gloss over your arguments by just going on tangent - but the "case study" and content of this post are awful.
