Amazon has decided the worst of all worlds: a return to office mandate (stick) and agile seating plans with no assigned seating (stick). No carrots…
All these packages contain Amazon return slips -- they are product returns not return mail. They were sent her directly by customers trying to return the product to the original seller.

When you want to return an Amazon purchase, Amazon gives you a return address label that you can print and attach to the package. In this case, that return label had this person's name and address.

Sure, there'll be dollar stores and the like. But already I bet you can't find a food truck that'll still accept cash. Nearly all of them require swiping a card before they'll even acknowledge you. I've run into many physical location restaraunts that do this too. Not most but it's a growing trend even here in the low population density midwest.
i'm talking about the type system itself: keeping the type system implementation itself simple rather than just offering an unsafe work-around

this means foregoing system-enforceable type safety and features in some cases as the language level, in order to keep the type system fast and understandable to normies.
OK, here's a possibly better picture from having hired many engineers over the years.

I don't care so much what you find interesting per se. I care about the intersection between what you find interesting and what my company does. I care how good you are at doing that kind of work, about your confidence that you can produce and solve problems without me needing to hold your hand all the time, and your likeability. If you can demonstrate those things better than the next guy, you'll probably get the job.
why are you baselessly attacking worldcoin on this website?
I agree that recent results have been negative. The reason why they were negative when other previous ones were more positive is, however, undetermined.

With a process that seems to be highly variable, and that the original paper had a only 1 in 10 chance of any success PLUS one that seems to be highly change to produce similar results (but unconfirmed if the same) I’m not too surprised at the high variability of the tests so far.

Frankly, I think it’ll be several years before we get anything close to more conclusive results in either direction. The replication results so far have been… enthusiastic but not exactly stringently controlled.
There's a lot of value in typing 6 less characters.

We are now in a world where UPS drivers have to make $170k a year to live.
Now that prices are up and salaries are somehow up, but (income) tax rates stay the same. Does that mean the government are taxing more for all of us?
Absolutely. My lab is heavily involved in live cell imaging using automated microscopy. We add fluorescent reporters to proteins we're interested in and quantify them by way of the fluorescence intensity. I write analytical tools to help our grad students better analyze their data.
What aspects of computational bio interest you? I'm also interested in philosophy although I haven't actively pursued it in a while. What are you reading right now?
It sure would be nice if there was a reason DoS could only come from countries other than those of your customers/users. But that's not the case.
You always have to do software in a way that people will benefit because otherwise they will not pay.

Read again my down voted post and think about the sentence in context of post where "Fice" wrote: "Telling computers and humans apart is a wrong goal.".

Then add to that topic of CAPTCHA and that CAPTCHA is annoying for users so adding CAPTCHA is not beneficial for users so it specific case and discussed in context.
Really great space to work in. And in NYC, there's probably like 30/40 WeWorks so it's very convenient when you have meetings around the city.
HR might be somewhat interested in that. Most managers won't give a rat's ass.
the token itself had not launched, but basically everything else was in place
no, i don't think that's where the type system implementation complexity usually explodes, in fact that's a more complicated type system than requiring explicit type conversions (which I am usually in favor of, except in cases of toString)
Who cares if the FPGA is opensource? If the verilog, or vhdl, or whatever was used to program it was available someone could adapt it to other chips.
Doesn't seem that odd? I imagine he has a pretty busy schedule.

Isn’t GDP heavily correlated with the average person’s earnings?

My guess is that that post-financial crises the banks made it harder to give out loans which would decrease the amount of household debt over time as more households get declined on loans.
You leaned what was safe from someone who'd been doing it for a long time. You had the kind of live expertise that's necessary to be safe.
Retrocomputing isn't just about nostalgia, a midlife-crisis rewind back to your pimply-faced youth. People are still getting more out of those old systems than was ever thought possible back in the day, using powerful modern systems to solve for packing ever more complex code or data structures into 64k or less. Kids are being introduced to old platforms. They can't deliver the graphical fidelity of the Xbox Series S, but if Minecraft and Roblox are any indication, post-zoomer youth do just fine with simple, abstract, representational graphics.
I don't understand this at all. The only type of person who would have the time to go through all this would be someone with considerable amounts of fuck you money.

But such people just say fuck you and move on when the process becomes tedious. Who are they trying to hire here?

I've been to a few companies which had way too more applicants than they knew what to do with, but most of the time it was because the majority were under qualified spam applicants, who assumed that eventually someone will give them the time of day.
I really don't know when this became "common knowledge". Most OSes and compilers were utter crap not more than 10-20 years ago. We would spend afternoons ranting about MSVC++ bugs. gcc was a joke, and even if quickly improved, does nobody really remember that by the 2010's gcc was so buggy -O3 was barely usable? No Gentoo users around?
Having visited my local one last summer, and after waiting in line for a good twenty minutes, I wish you luck. Thankfully I can do 99% of what I need through my app/online.
At this point you might have been rolling your own video drivers and hoping your CRT didn't explode, so it was a bit of a step up.

Plus you can quickly build websites with speedcrunch IIRC

Edit: https://www.friendlyskies.net/speedcrunch/

Kinda funny but also impressive in its way...
It obviously isn't too broad, because instead of this comment you could have posted a single counterexample to disprove it.
Right. We pay for (nearly) everything using a CC, but we pay it off at the end of the month. We _never_ carry CC debt.

It would be interesting to have this data broken down more.
I think there’s a middle ground for cooperatives but the old problem of fairness rears its ugly head. I don’t want to pay for 20% of something if I’m only getting 5% of the benefit.
I think GDP may not be the best representation to how well people are doing, but debt as a % of personal income seems to tell the same story: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/TDSP

Its a bit surprising given observational evidence. right now people seem to be spending at any cost and have run dry. now we are to the point every other weekend the bars/pubs are empty because people already spent their money, and the next week its packed because they got paid.
That seems reasonable using existing data, but why a finger print?

And I thought the checkpoints were to prevent physical contraband on planes. TSA facial recognition, while also allowing old people and precheck to wear shoes, doesn't stop that.
Oh wow. Did not know about this. Thanks for the tip!
It should ask more questions about your preferences. Some person would value smaller size, someone would value more speed per dollar, someone values upgradability (i.e. more PCIe slots, latest CPU socket) and durability above everything else. E.g. I would mostly prefer to get a cheaper CPU but a better motherboard so I can just buy a better CPU later once I need it and have more spare money.
I usually update my Twitter bio on a monthly basis. Only once has anyone commented on the humor but it’s entertaining for me.
For me it's the colleagues. Rubbing elbows with people much smarter and further in their careers than I am is worth making the ~20 min commute. But any incentive provides the same effect.
Agreed all around. Especially the part about abolishing all parents -- humanity definitely loses then.
When you pay with credit, their is typically a slight delay in when your loss is realized (e g. whenever your auto pay triggers).

It seems like this delay has huge effects some tangible some not. Dave Ramsey's preaching on only paying with cash certainly covers some of the psychological effects like:

- this is real money leaving my possession

- I can see how much I have left to spend immediately
Show HN: Rift – Open-source AI-native language server for your personal AI SWE
Howdy y'all, I'm Jesse and I'm pleased to share Rift (https://www.github.com/morph-labs/rift), an open-source AI-native language server for the IDEs of the future. Software will soon be written mostly by AI SWEs working alongside humans. Codebases and the development environments around them will soon become living artifacts that can anticipate, maintain context on, and execute your every intention. Software development is rapidly evolving and key infrastructure like language servers must evolve with it to support a new generation of developer tools.

As part of Rift, we're releasing an open-source VSCode extension which shows what is possible today with a language server that can mediate between LLMs and IDEs, and which takes a first step towards a future where you can build and iterate on entire projects with only natural language gestures.

Today, with Rift, you can do all of the following without ever leaving VSCode or copy-pasting from a browser chat window:

- Generate an entire workspace, or a module based on other parts of your codebase
- Conversationally iterate on code edits over selected regions which are streamed directly into your editor window
- Request, review, and iterate on codebase-wide, multi-file edits

Everything runs as an agent through Rift's Agents API. You can define your own agents that can interact directly with your IDE and codebase through the language server, and can run arbitrary Python code that can do things like:

- provide a conversational UI over the git CLI (e.g. 'suggest fixes for these merge conflicts, then rebase over myBranch')
- real-time automatic docstring generation triggered by saving a file or making a git commit
- run tools like typecheckers and static analyzers in the background and implement fixes based on their output
- automated code review in your IDE with context from GitHub

We're proud to integrate with open-source projects like Smol Developer (https://www.github.com/smol-ai/developer), GPT Engineer (https://www.github.com/antonosika/gpt-engineer), and Aider (https://www.github.com/paul-gauthier/aider).

Language servers are ubiquitous and see every action you take in an IDE. Rift will soon support recording training data from your interactions so that you can work with a team of truly personalized AI software engineers.

At Morph Labs (https://morph.so), we believe that the future of software development should be transparent, open-source, and defined collectively by the developer community. The Rift language server and extension will continue to be open-source, extensible, and privacy/security aware with opt-in telemetry and first-class support for custom endpoints and on-device models — no closed source language server binaries, no API calls to mysterious proxy servers.

We would love for you to try out Rift and give us feedback! Please let us know what you think in the comments.
I've been WFH for 20 years. My family's life has been built around it including choice of schools, my wife's job, activities, etc. We own one car.

If I were to take a job downtown, my wife would have to get a different job, we'd have to pay for some level of child care, arrange transportation for school, drop various activities, buy a second car so I could drive to the train station (which comes with maintenance, insurance, registration, etc).

The amount of money that would make any of this worth it is not small. You'd have to cover the additional expenses and then write a big check on top to compensate for disrupting our way of life.
This may be even more fun than you expect. We were doing VLANs using hardware from a major vendor to partition a network and discovered that while the VLANs worked most of the time, they were leaky with ARP traffic. It was causing us headaches because the machines were supposed to be sending all of their traffic through the router, but sometimes they were seeing ARP replies that they shouldn't and were thinking that the other machines would be reachable directly, causing them to be unable to send traffic until the ARP cache entry timed out. We couldn't get the vendor to show any interest in fixing the bug either, because they were too big to care.

It's possible this chat app could break through VLANs in certain circumstances.
If I did that, I wouldn't land the job with ~2 the compensation of what I'd have otherwise and the best job overall.

It turned out that the interview process wasn't representative of my actual work at all. Thinking about my previous jobs, I can't really see a correlation between interviews and work there either.
I encountered several challenges with Refine v3 but it looks improved in v4 with the detached router and improved documentation, which I found often lacking. This still isn't as native as implementing all these features on your own though, you pretty much access everything through Refine-specific hooks and providers, so there is a learning curve. It's flexibility centric.
Still depends on the amount of energy being released. Burning up a large enough asteroid would cook the planet, even at days/weeks/months. I guess it really depends on the rate at which heat is lost to space.
Why is paying with credit card the default in the US (at least that the impression I've got when visiting as a tourist) while here in Europe debit cards are the norm?

Question: why didn't you need quotes around the first expression? Both Zsh and Bash error on that command without quotes. Are you using nushell?
In Ontario we can post a sign that enables a trespassing law which is quite empowering to the property owner(see legal language for other options).

Walmart uses(or used) the same law to enable their security guards to restrain people inside of their store.
> or leak data that I share with them in some manner

Like when their video drivers overstep their bounds and gather information on what applications are run and what websites are visited?
I don't know about how to detect it but that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying they look like inflammation: puffy, bloated, red. Something I don't see when I travel to places that eat traditional diets.
There is a test like that. It's called the "enablement" test and you must enable someone to build the thing in order to get a patent.

I'm talking more about the practical act of sitting down and reading a patent. They are long, boring, and filled with legalese. A patent may be 50 pages long, but the interesting part may fill no more than a few paragraphs and be described using nouns and verbs you've never heard before. It's completely possible to read a patent, look at the pictures, and still have no idea what the thing actually is.

It's essentially legal abstraction -- inventors and patent attorneys don't want to be pinned down to a particular interpretation, implementation, or embodiment.
Accelerated by many decades.
There used to be a reason: Exynos variants had unlockable bootloader. Not sure how feasible unlocking is nowadays on the Qualcomm variants.
You need to sing it yourself. That’s half the charm/humor.
Is there a tool similar to this one but for searching through the offerings of large manufacturers like Lenovo or Dell? In other words, based on my criteria, it would find PCs with configurations closest to my needs.

I need a relatively high-performance i9-based desktop PC (for ML and toying with LLMs) with on-site warranty, so building my own PC would not work for me.
The problem with these is that nobody has a single user agent anymore. Haven’t for years. If I need files I need them on my phone and tablet, or tablet and laptop. Those services have yet to become standardized.
Memories of my stoner college friend who would update his voicemail greeting regularly to feature 30sec of obscure, always amazing music.
Regarding the atomic bomb factoid, they might have usefully added that 10,000 times that much energy reaches the Earth in the form of sunlight every second. (sunlight per second = 1.2e17 joules; the Hiroshima bomb = 1.5e13 joules.)
I reckon at some point someone will figure out that the physical environment can be modified to make knowledge workers more productive, and start walloping their competition.

I’ve tuned out the entire wfh debate for this reason. We just need some patience and we’ll have an answer. There’s no need for all the angry debates.
Obviously it's impossible to do a reasonably unskewed poll in Crimea right now. However in other parts of Ukraine the number of people who consider themselves Russian drastically decreased when Russia started shelling their homes. So it's not clear how informative 2001 polls would be. Russia has also deliberately encouraged Russians to move to Crimea recently which would also skew that statistic.
That sounds like a cat and mouse game that I would rather not play. Look at iOS jailbreaks. They were fairly common early on and still regularly occur. But they are not frequent. Maybe a full jailbreak every year or two. The verifier for WEI can also revoke access to old versions of the software. I don't want to be playing that game to access critical services such as my bank.
What about managers/trainers of sports teams, if the stars of the team get a significantly higher salary? The manager/trainer might order them around, but does that make them belonging to a higher class, even if they earn way less than their "subordinates"?
My guess is that the rapidly-expanding vapor and debris cloud produced by the explosion is likely to dislodge and eject more material than would result from a passive impactor capable of producing the same deflection. To get the same deflection, you need the same impulse, and in both cases, the impulse is applied as a sudden shock, but if you are using a passive impactor, all the energy is directed in the direction you want the change of the asteroid's momentum to be - so you need less energy overall?
But the desktop was not plain GNOME.

It was polished GNOME. They were but of the jokes at the time for the color theme chosen, but it had polish that plain GNOME didn't.

That is valid even today; just the choice of default font is huge. Ubuntu font vs Cantarell? They are not even in the same league.
Typically something like an elevator wouldn't be modeled with physics (mass, velocity, etc.) its movement would just be hardcoded. And of course games without a physics emulator wouldn't do that either.

My understanding of the patent is that two objects that are normally subject to physics (the player and a platform), when the player stands on an object the player's physics are disabled and the player's position is just copied from the object.

But, like, there's no way this hasn't been done before.
Not OP, but this is the sort of thing that should surface from yearly physicals. Ask your doctor to give you an EKG if this is something that you're concerned about.

Interesting.

I saw that it uses uBlock Origin. Going to try it. Thank you.
That would probably not be the case as companies would be obligated to wrap anything up in trade secret and never disclose anything.

Also in the video she states what the parcel has her name, address and her old telephone number... which is out of service for forty years.

So yeah.
Equally ignorant response here :) How would they see that traffic? Why would the ISP be the same?
My understanding, sorry for not having links at the ready for all this, is that many studying this currently think that Cro Magons, Neanderthals, and Denisovans all mixed to varying degrees at various times and emerged from a complex mix of pre humans like Homo Naledi. This makes the ancestry of Homo Sapiens more complex than simple lines of descent. Genetic analysis of these groups suggests that there was a third group that mixed with Neanderthals and Denisovans which has not yet been identified. None of this relates to the multiregion origin theory that you mention.
Yes. Zelensky has made it clear that they have lots of equipment and arms (although they'd love to have more.) What they need is foreign volunteers to fight.
Archer voicemail gags were pretty good. "Please leave your message after the air horn"
Great post! I find the quote from Bunnie in the blog pretty relevant:

“The JTAG boundary scan approach was rejected on the grounds that the TRST# pin, used to hold the JTAG chain in reset, was tied active in a manner that was difficult to modify without removing the processor.”

Gives me flashbacks to simpler times where disk based systems lacked any real form of DRM because of the assumption that a consumer wouldn't be able to afford to press their own CD-ROMS.

Maybe still not as easy as burning a CD-R, but BGA rework stations have come down in price and utility enough that they are practical for the semi-serious tinkerer. Most modern designs account for this, but I wonder if other techniques, maybe like decaping or some future unknown, will start to open new, simple, vectors of attacks on our hardware today.

I don't really have a point to make here I guess, just that most assumptions made today tend to not quite work out as expected, and that's kinda neat.
Not sure I understand your comment. Are you implying UPS drivers shouldn't make 6 figures?
This is awesome with such good presentation. Well done!

I would also recommend the linux programming interface book for those looking for a very in depth introduction to this topic.

That would be easy to check.
Hey everyone,

If you are in Belgrade you will maybe interested into Decentrala (https://dmz.rs). Decantrala is a new tech-community/hackerspace organized around idea of decentralization and knowledge sharing. We try to organize talks/workshops every week and we covered many topics: form lambda calculus to Mail servers and PGP.

We all share love for technology, but we try to organize as much as possible events live because we believe that live contact is very important today. If you are seeking friends and you love technology, come and visit us.
Sun used to assign offices to two people.

I personally don't mind sharing office space with less than about four coworkers. In a small(!), shared office there is enough social pressure to keep concentration periods quiet, or agree on shared music choices, &c. and still maintain the advantages of having what amounts to a team meeting space for collaboration in the same footprint.
