Plus repeating the question yields successively:

The quote you're referring to appears to be from a document produced by Philip Morris, a tobacco company, as part of their efforts to downplay the addictive nature of cigarettes. The quote was found in a 1994 internal document that was made public through litigation. It's worth noting that the comparison was not scientifically accurate and was criticized for attempting to minimize the risks associated with smoking.

.

The quote "Cigarettes were no more addictive than coffee, tea, or Twinkies" was used by Jeffrey Wigand, a former tobacco executive and whistleblower, during an interview with CBS's "60 Minutes" back in 1996. This statement gained attention as it highlighted the deceptive practices of the tobacco industry in downplaying the addictive nature of cigarettes.

.

I apologize for any confusion earlier. The quote "Cigarettes were no more addictive than coffee, tea, or Twinkies" was attributed to William Campbell Douglass II, a doctor and author, in his newsletter. Please note that this statement is not supported by scientific consensus and has been widely criticized for downplaying the addictive nature of cigarettes.
But then again it wouldn't be a bicycle, and according to a lot of western countries you'd need a license, insurance, plate, helmet, &c.

> We are talking $2-300

Nah, you can get a basic setup for < 100, maybe lower fi you're mass manufacturing, most are fixies, plus you have a backup when the battery dies
I think restarts of home computers are rarely needed even in Windows. On the server we have gone down the cattle not pets route so that restarting is abstracted away. (When was the bare metal restarted on that CDN/VM/ etc.)
Zen is also partly based on Taoism. I recommend Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind by Shunryu Suzuki.

If it's completely self-hosted why do I need to get a token?
Where does the actual model run?
You can, just go to the `about:profiles` page.

> Plus, it's definitely not going to get people to switch from Chrome.

Given that it's only enabling multiple profiles that require such a step (afterward you get a GUI prompt at start-up), you just Google “how to Firefox profiles” once, follow the steps and call it a day. In fact, most people would need to do the same googling if they wanted to use multiple chrome profiles as well…
$25/mth seems like an egregious price for such an unhelpful feature. I understand it will get better, but at this point... I can't imagine paying more than $5/mth on top of my current price assuming it was more polished.

Maybe I'm not the target market. I can transcribe visuals to CSS and HTML fairly automatically due to so many years of doing it, and I can do it reliably and consistently in ways that fit various workflows and other challenges. I understand Figma probably wants dev mode to provide a source of truth and gradually add some show stopping features, but even then... $25 is so much. I already feel like Figma costs me more than I want to pay for it. Their pricing model is really aggressive.
I've never seen a popular MUP (without delineated lanes for modes) in the US that is anything more than a compromise between each of the modes. I live along a fantastic, popular MUP that turns into an on-street protected bike lane. During evening commute hours the on-street protected bike lane becomes filled with dog walkers and joggers who don't want to use the sidewalk. The US culturally treats public spaces too poorly to be respectful on an MUP; we need to offer more safe space to alternate transportation modes on streets instead of dedicating all that space for cars.
The reality is in most cases, the sales of developer focused tools or services goes to management, not the devs themselves.

I'm certain due to human psychology, that the more "polished" a site looks, it translates into more leads
IIRC it was just the metadata (which is still a very big deal ftr) not all the bytes. Also you would have to believe that they have compromised AES/RSA/etc in order to break the encryption.

China also has a lot more surveillance and filtering controls, especially with traffic leaving/entering the great firewall. They have the social credit system and things as well, which the US could have with credit card and banking information, but (at least for now) the US has to get a warrant whereas the Chinese just gobble all of it up. That's probably moot though since the banks will store that info forever so a warrant can be gotten later. Anyway we could debate whether those are "tools" or not. But overall I'd bet we agree on the vast majority of things. Even if I think you're being a bit hyperbolic, it always makes me happy to see other people passionate about this topic, so thank you!
By retiring early, he sorta let Google, this still immature organization, get completely steamrolled by the board. I used to work there and the culture shifted rapidly upon his departure.
All of these designs are horrible. They're not good, they're clever. These are interactive experiences, not websites. But that's all you can and should expect from marketing pages nowadays.

A good web design prioritises UX and accessibility, not first impressions for the sake of sales. Let your sales team take care of the first impressions, and focus on building a usable site instead of a clever one.
In some dark future, you will need to sign up for all websites just to prevent someone for doing this very thing. "It's not our fault you didn't sign up and allowed a fraudster to do it."
The thing I find most interesting about LLMs is the emergent skills that happen almost instantly(based on model size) that weren't inherently trained for.

I think I’m general projects are managed worse than they were 25 years ago. As the years go by and Agile gets further entrenched there is more time lost to ceremonies and rituals and less time spent solving real problems that provide value.
Now I think about it, this is a much better approach than a fine. Is there a downside to this?
Slog allows doing that by creating Attr structs directly.

How does this compare to what is possible using https://goodsnooze.gumroad.com/l/macwhisper for example?

Thanks!
A speed limiter is a much cheaper, more direct way to add safety without mandating anything else about the bike.
There are many dictionary definitions of identity. Take Merriam-Webster:

"1a: the distinguishing character or personality of an individual

2: the condition of being the same with something described or asserted

3a: sameness of essential or generic character in different instances"

Or the Cambridge dictionary:

"a person's name and other facts about who they are:"

Of course, you're always welcome to intentionally pick the incorrect context (going back to Merriam-Webster):

"4: an equation that is satisfied for all values of the symbols"

And just as easily rant the name of the crime has nothing to do with math so it needs to be renamed.
not a good one either. that's not even a knock knock level joke
The new spam method is updating some random policy every 2 months and informing about the new wording
Take a look around dude. Interest rates are very high making the funding environment rough and it effects everything. There is far less liquid capital because borrowing is so expensive, it is set by the central banks. When the money is expensive to borrow; it effects absolutely everything including your business.

You are going to be looking at this situation for some time. Only the very top projects or projects in AI are getting funded, a lot of consulting has dried up.

Is anyone getting rich right now? I don’t know.

Take a serious look at the macro economic picture. It’s not great. This is a recession. It could last years.

Or the federal reserve may drop rates but they don’t seem to be close to doing that.

So take the pain you are in now and project it out until next year when the fed is saying they may drop rates.

You may be in pain for a long time.

Is this a level of pain you can tolerate for that time period? Are you in AI where the capital is at least easier to get?

A lot of startups are folding or have folded silently behind the scenes or died at this point.

We are in a bear market.

Understand the context. This is what happens in a bear market. It sucks. No one is getting rich. It’s hard to get money. It’s happening to everyone not just you. Everyone is in pain.

I personally am in pain myself. I got into startups when things were super hot and fun a couple years ago.

I’m not having fun right now.

I’m getting a real job and I don’t want to. I have debt. My quality of life sucks.

It has been going on so long, I mentally threw in the towel and decided to accept that I am going to just fail and then have to restructure my life.

I might have to sell some things I don’t want to sell.

The only silver lining I can find is: I have realized that it’s a combination. Nothing is working, so I can get rid of my whole life and only become happier.

Sell my house, move, find a new market.

It is actually very exciting once you let go of the albatross.

When the piano you are swimming with becomes too heavy, you cut the piano off and try to make it to shore.

Your embarrassment will turn into joy when you reach the beach, poor and wearing only a loin cloth going “oh my god, I am free.”

Cut that shit off if it is killing you.

There is a clock. You can only take the pain for so long.

It sounds like you are only being pulled downwards

Make a list right now:

Good things about this situation

Bad things about this situation

If the list of bad things is 2x longer, end it
I agree with basically everything said here in the comments but wanted to add... after a certain amount of time a modal window popped up telling me to enter my email address to join their newsletter. It had no X button indicated anywhere. I thought I was trapped until I just tried clicking off of it.

While I like that functionality being available, an X to indicate that the thing is not required feels pretty necessary to me. I almost just closed the site when I thought it was required.

Overall 3/10 "good webdesign"
this feels like an advertisement for a "competitor", barely and thinly veiled as a comment on the topic
> It's the people, not the bikes.

1000%. In over 5000 miles of riding e-bikes to work daily in SF, the ONLY times I've been accosted was from the full spandex "road/racing bike" groups.
Lots of crypto/NFT stuff which matches the maximum-hype aesthetic that is being selected for here. I suppose I wouldn't expect anything else from "Godly – Astronomically good web design inspiration" hosted at godly.website
"Ask ten different scientists about the environment, population control, genetics, and you'll get ten different answers, but there's one thing every scientist on the planet agrees on. Whether it happens in a hundred years or a thousand years or a million years, eventually our Sun will grow cold and go out. When that happens, it won't just take us. It'll take Marilyn Monroe, and Lao-Tzu, and Einstein, and Morobuto, and Buddy Holly, and Aristophanes, and - all of this - all of this - was for nothing. Unless we go to the stars."

While that quote is intentionally more poetry than science (it's from Babylon 5) it reflects a kernel of the truth. Right now, we have all of our eggs in one basket. We must act with great care toward that basket, surely. But we should also strive as a species to see that there is more than one basket. Mars is the first baby step toward the stars, and we should go to the stars.
That whole industry needs to be banned. Courts should record loan defaults, and make that information available to creditors. Nothing else should be in the report.

Lenders already require independent verification of income and (for mortgages) monthly expenses.

The rest of the information that’s in your report and that is used to compute your credit score seems to be there to force people to get credit cards and to perpetuate systemic racism.
The oldest possible HN might have been a great grandparent at that point
All I can tell you is I've worked for a company that had to comply with CFIUS agreement, and honestly, there are no surveillance capabilities whatsoever. They have oversight capabilities and can audit the parts of the business that are covered by the security rules. Ironically, these rules we had to comply with were called the National Security Agreement (NSA) but that entirely coincidental. It was not anywhere near as exciting as people commenting here are speculating.
Prepare to be sad after you look up the failed Flitchio, which was a phone case with shoulder buttons and slide pads on the back.
Just a small thought, but if there is any automation involved in determining these blacklists, I bet some of the keywords on Brave's site might be automatically classified as risky such as Tor Onion, Wallet, Crypto, malware. That might be enough to merit a default negative classification.

Not trying to excuse Microsoft, but there's other conceivable explanations (incompetence) here other than the obvious "Microsoft is trying to throw friction onto a competitor's business" (which remains a possibility, of course)

But it's pretty gross either way that these kinds of filtering lists would have such errors. Brave is probably ok either way, but what about a random small business that wrongly gets put on such a list? People are harmed by this level of carelessness from companies like Microsoft.
I’d be fine with a limit.

Most of the info you need is on wiki.archlinux.org, which is so good that users of other distros prefer it to other sources of Linux info.

What a dystopia. I guess I never appreciated GDPR as it deserve.
In my experience, there is no good solution long term except changing the metrics themselves every so often. When new metrics come in, as long as they are not totally boneheaded, they improve things. Then people start learn to start gaming them and some of the more sociopathic folks start doing so, then others copy by example and soon enough the metric is useless at best or detrimental at worst and it is time to move to a new metric.

It helps to have someone with a hacker mindset think about the metric being designed so the obvious ways in which it could be games are taken care of and their own metrics/incentives are aligned with the company goal.

If you want profiles and not containers, you can use profiles too in Firefox, it works well (I do it on the shared family computer). It's just not what most people use profiles for in Chrome, which lacks the separation between profiles and container.
The author looks like enough of a grey-hair that he should remember this paper when it first came out.

They should fine them for credit triggers too, as the phone spam is atrocious. They legally sell your info and the fact you are looking for a loan to sketchy mortgage lenders who will spam you for weeks.

I know people who have experienced this firsthand, and it is terrifying. You can opt out of it, but nobody knows that until it's too late.
I'm not sure if I follow the fitness-driving argument. Without an informational sieve of some kind, isn't it just random entropy?

In this case, sure, far from equilibrium has more information, but that just means the system has more flexibility to move, not that the system actually inherently contains more information (stored information vs inbound throughput).

Unless it's some kind of Nash game, or problem with multiple similarly-deep valleys, I don't see how that would do much more from a fitness perspective other than allow us to effect something approaching an unbiased estimator of the minima density of whatever problem we're working on is. Or...whatever, I'm not quite sure.

Anywho, however it is, I'm a bit confused on the last part there.
I’m not opposed to a speed limit if that’s what you’re asking.
I am also lucky, I got a Suica in 2017 and I used it ever since in every trip to Japan! It seems to last quite a while.

Maybe I should get an electronic Suica on my iPhone just in case though.

After looking around Nagoya's Manaca websites [0] they don't seem to talk about any suspension of card distribution.
JR West ICOCA also seems like is business as usual [1].

And I fully admit I miss the culture of the times, too. We all knew it was destined to be limnal, but it still hurt to see it succumb.
Identity can’t be stolen. You can be impersonated. I think the point they’re making is that it’s not the victims fault if someone is impersonating them. I would agree. It makes zero sense for the victim of impersonation to be held accountable in any way for the actions of the criminal.
> trying to understand the pros/cons of psychotherapy vs meditation, as both of them seem to involve letting go of false beliefs.

I think mediation is more about getting rid of all beliefs temporarily.

Beliefs are just language playing around in the echo-chamber of your mind. Having too much noise in an echo-chamber can be distracting and stressful and can make you not hear what you should be hearing.

Meditation stops (or slows down) your thoughts. Then you realize you are just fine even if you don't repeat certain thoughts or variations of them in your brain.

Imagine you are a soldier. Enemy-attack is eminent. It can make you fearful. But that is only because you are imagining the different possible terrible effects of the enemy attack on you.

It is unlikely that all the bad things you imagine about will happen. But imagining them has a detrimental effect of your mind. Mediation helps counter that.

But you shouldn't stay in meditation forever you're supposed to come out of it so you can tackle the real life problems with a well rested mind which is better equipped to perceive the world as is, than a person in an echo-chamber would.
A lot of states made changes during the pandemic to allow remote workers. Those have all been ending over the past year and I assumed that’s what they were talking about.

There are dozens of us (Arrested Development reference)!

Seriously though I think we are pretty rare for wanting to cut through the BS. I've talked with a lot of people about this and while many will agree with me, when they actually see the results they don't like it as much as the flashy. It's disheartening.

Good web design != good marketing design. Once marketers got control of UI design, every web interface became an interactive motion graphic, which is NOT. GOOD. UI. DESIGN.
Significantly. You start to see improvements at 1000 tokens.
I was actually writing a post this weekend that was about setting these kinds of basic tripwires up in your web apps.

Here is an example of one in node where I set up an endpoint /admin to both redirect back to the homepage and set a cookie that says key: authz value: unset

That should be enough to turn up in any kind of automated scan looking for endpoints they could attack.

I then (not shown in the pic) set up a piece of middleware that looks for anyone coming in with a cookie that has the key of authz and the value of anything besides unset because that’s the moment I will know that this is no longer an automated scan and that I should probably look into this so it hooks up directly with my cloud providers security alerting system and that takes care of the rest like showing me all the activity associated with that IP address etc.

Here’s the code if anyone is interested. It’s a super high signal to noise ratio and easy to build. https://media.infosec.exchange/infosecmediaeu/media_attachme...
The Syntax of Vala
for C4 structurizr is the best so far I know. I use that for landscape , container diagrams. I got feedbacks that even CIOs are able to get the picture easy. If they have some ways to produce better layouts for large landscape it would be awesome.
Speaking of RAG, does anyone know of a Python library that (hopefully) doesn't need a server, that can do embeddings, along with an example? I want to do RAG in Python, and I can wrangle the prompt to where I want it, but I have no idea how to basically search for relevant documents with embeddings.

I don’t know but I assume GNU/Linux and the need to complete the OS user space would have driven a wave if such free software.
I was not aware of AT protocol. So even if there are any similarities I invented this independently.
The RISC V fanboism is rampant here with bunch of them repeating their marketing slogan in the comments. There is nothing inevitable about RISC V. If anything it has lot of mountains to climb before it can be considered a challenge to the existing instruction set. It may or it may not do that. Being open does not automagically make it happen.
This means that the cost would be more than US$ 1 for each 16 user interactions, using this fine-tuning pricing: 16 interactions * ($0.012*4 input + $0.016 output) = US$ 1.02

It's 8x more expensive, indeed. I'm comparing with my use case, the standard gpt-3.5 API, where my users consume 4k input tokens (due to context plus chat history) and almost 1k output tokens.
This one seems to be a deal-breaker, if you already know what types of language you want, why would you want openai moderating your parameter tuning set.
Ask HN: Opinions on Non-Compete Agreements in Small Startups?
Hey everyone, I'm curious to hear your thoughts on signing non-compete agreements in small startups, especially when the contract doesn't include equity and is limited to just one year, while the non-compete agreement's duration is about 16 months. What's your take on this situation?
With enough energy, we could build giant arcoligies, rewild rural areas, suck large amounts of CO2 out of the atmosphere, clean up plastic pollution, etc. Energy is the ultimate limiting factor for human civilization. The biosphere can be repaired or even extended.
That's surprisingly readable and understandable. Nice work by the authors for encapsulating it so well.
