This is a nice explanation and definition. Now, I realize I’m multiple of them and like to use different medium for these types.

As a “Planner”, I default to digital notebooks and uses the tools such as Apple Notes, Obsidian, Sublime Text to write.

I also love recording memories as part of my “Time-Capsule” and are more structured. They are in Markdown and I use iA Writer, Obsidian, or Sublime Text to write it.

While in a meeting, thinking, scribbling, I turn on my “Whiteboard” on a physical Notebook and use a pen to write it. The additional thing I do is if I have a to-do in my mind and need to write it down, I start from the end of the Notebook. So, in a typical 200-odd paged Notebook, the last 4-5 pages are filled up with check-box TO-DOs. At the end of most meetings that I attend, people usually take pictures of my Notebook.
I wish they broke down the costs. Sounds like a lot given than it excluded the concrete sidewalk, but maybe some of the plants cost a lot. The cost of a skid-steer rental and disposal of old concrete likely added up. Or (a) yard(s) of river rock and triple-mix cost more than I think.
English IS the global lingua franca TODAY, used by most travelers to navigate through an unknown environment. if the signs in China are not translated into English TODAY, then there's no reason to go there TODAY.
I understood tuples are only optimised for a handful of elements.
You can oppose "prohibition" without supporting drug use. Most drugs are clearly harmful to the human body. This includes cannabis and alcohol. Hallucinogens can cause lasting psychological changes. Maybe you shouldn't be afraid of drug use, but you should be wary.

And I can't think of anything much more self-destructive than binge drinking. It's right up there with opioids.
Would it be helpful to frame it as unilaterally the fault of Xi Jinping and the rise of wolf warrior diplomacy?
So anything that is undefined on paper automatically gets a near maximum score? That doesn't seem right.

I'm aware there are cases of overzealous compilers removing conditional code based on the incorrect assumption that overflows can never happen, but this doesn't seem to be the case here.
Hm, does it? I’ve been tempted to install Linux but I’ve found conflicting information online about how well it’s supported, and the small SSD doesn’t lend itself for dual booting.
I'm criticizing the implementation.

I have no complaints about the language (other than arrays starting at 1). I'm just salty because other people have said the implementation was really clean C, so I decided to spend a week porting it to C#, and I gave up. I could not figure out how closures were actually implemented, and I spent a day trying to understand it.
Fair point, but I meant for English-native speakers in this context.
I want to make sure I understand. Atoms are not empty space, they are a solid cloud of...something?
You can do that as well, under your complete control. That's a framework they put around the model.
If there are any business to do in China in the next 10-20 years. Foreign investment in China is down 90% this year. Again, international travel in China is down 97% this year. Apparently everyone else except hacker news readers are aware of the shift.
That makes sense. Sort of like adding graphene to epoxy.

The Tech Ingredients guy DIY makes graphene and tests strength of it added to epoxy[0].

Totally respect this viewpoint. I think the parent comment is about the shame of having a powerful device that could be programmed but is locked down only because the manufacturer thought so: an iPad can do a lot more but isn't allowed to just for it to appear as an appliance.

In your analogy, it's like a truck is clothed as a Camry but it really needn't be.

I guess it's the difference between a geek's and generalist's viewpoints.
I recently read something suggesting that the US State Department and Foreign Intelligence Agencies are having a hard time with language training and I'm not sure anyone could hold up the argument that their capabilities have remained at the same level as during the Cold War. There are some circumstances that explain this, areas and languages of interest change more now. But I remember when Pakistan's underground nuclear test came as a surprise and even after the Global War on Whatever, I'm not sure the US ever had as much understanding as the Soviets. (Who knows about the Russians?)

Language will be a human struggle as long as humans run the world, I think you're absolutely correct on the meaningful and valuable practice of learning the language of the place you want to succeed in.

I'm only fluent in English, and I like it very much for its flexibility and expressivity, but I'm familiar with a handful of romantic languages and think every language has it's high and low points.
so neom?
I used the llama.cpp quantize q_0 option. Seemed to vary widely just adjusting the temperature parameters. Was giving it an example db query saving to file in json and asking create a similar function did multiple queries.
This sounds like a really useful tool I’ll definitely give it a try
Nobody dislikes the apple self-service except rossman, who is paid to not like them. There is no problem with them and that system works well, other than rossman not being able to make money performing installations of genuine parts at the prices apple charges.

People were complaining you can’t use random parts salvaged from dead phones or use non-genuine parts. And yeah, that’s true, because functionally those are indistinguishable from parts chopped from stolen phones.
Ask HN: What are some interesting tools or code repos you discovered recently
Personally I think its straight from Rutherford himself. I think the article itself feels like a strawman since its arguing a position that probably isn't even that controversial in the physics community, but is also completely worthless information to the layman.
> You can't be pro-privacy and simultaneously believe ...

You gave information to LI, trusting that they wouldn't disclose it to people you wouldn't want to have it. Meanwhile, untrustworthy third parties were free to view that very same information. Blame LI for being casual with data about you. Blame yourself for trusting LI. Don't blame others for reading what they were free to read.
I really don't get why it's mostly artists who always buy Apple's marketing hook line and sinker.
I think its a bit like interest rates, if you raise the floor rate then some investments become unviable

I sympathize to some extent with their reasoning here, that developers for good reason want to sell separate macOS and iOS apps, and that they don't want a lot of customers complaining about a lousy UX.

But there are plenty of cases where I cannot fathom why the developer has opted out. Like, Genshin Impact won't let you play on macOS, because ???

Lawmaker Wants Federal Contractors to Have Vulnerability Disclosure Policies
This is article is from 2019.
It's atrocious. I guess people get used to it. It's always baffled me why so many apparently 'power users' opt for it over Windows. Windows has a ton of issues, especially since 10/11, but is infinitely more configurable and customizable.
Honestly tho, as long as the street signs have English characters on them and I can find them and I can match them to Google Maps, I’m good. Compare with the UK where all the street signs are in English but I can never find them! (They’re often attached to buildings rather than anywhere useful…)
It’s not that we don’t offer no paid time off. It’s that it’s not mandated federally (although some cities and states do).

A recent article in the NYT pointed out how the minimum wage is irrelevant now given the difficulty of hiring: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/23/business/economy/minimum-...

This is the argument the anti-minimum wagers have been saying forever. The going rate for workers will rise well above the minimum wage, and by having a high minimum wage you prevent people from getting on the economic ladder at all.

The lack of mandated paid time off means it is a benefit companies can provide. This attracts workers. I want most benefits to be negotiated this way, as well as the minimum wage eliminated.
Mostly, rent costs and regulatory and licensing fees. Inflation sure isn't helping since this article was written in 2019.
Yes so if you want a local/sovereign capability, you need to subsidize it

Can information collected at the border in an otherwise unconstitutional manner be used against you for anything except admission purposes?

In other words, would a judge accept evidence seized at the border in a case not about border law?
Again, it cuts both ways. How much will westerners willingly misunderstand because it intersects with the ideological conflict?

Why aren't we asking questions about western colonialism's impact on the culture? Too awkward?

It's a culture of 1.5 billion people presently, over a few thousand years. Probably "fewer generations separated from subsistence farming" is more influential than anything ideological.
>The United States is one of just a handful of countries — others include India, Pakistan, Suriname, and Papua New Guinea — that have no national policy guaranteeing workers paid annual leave. (It’s also among the few with no federal laws guaranteeing paid parental leave or paid sick days.) Any benefit offered to workers, like paid time off, is entirely up to the discretion of private employers.

It's not "up to the discretion of private employers". It is up to the contractual arrangement between an employee and his employer.

The USA is a huge place. It isn't obvious to me that there should be national laws for things like this. This is exactly the sort of thing you'd expect to be set on a state-by-state basis.
Atoms are not empty. They're full of potential!
It doesn’t offer macOS. My whole point is that when I have a keyboard I don’t want to be touching a screen, and I want the power and freedom macOS offers to be able to do productive work. I also want iPadOS for other types of interaction, like reading or watching, or drawing.
Everyone should be paid the federal minimum wage. No government employees should be allowed additional income from stocks, dividends, additional businesses, trusts, etc. That'll be the day minimum wage becomes a living wage.
I don't know about the percentage of affected stars in a typical galaxy collision but note that you don't need a collision for two stars to affect each other. We're not speaking of interaction like on a pool table. The gravity will significantly affect star systems that pass significantly close from each other.
That is simple. They aren't in dire financial straits. They are just lying.
I'm very interested to see how this picture will look 20-30 years out.
Wealth is concentrated in pockets and the average person gets by. China wealth Gini index is moderating somewhat around Japan tier. US Gini is very high and closer to the world average.
Part of the problem is that commercial rents in places like NY are untenable unless you're somehow managing to squeeze every last dollar out of your employees and customers.

But with surveys like this, I also have a hard time believing the responses if they're not backed up with hard data. So unless business owners want to open up their books for all to inspect, I take statements like 'fear they'd have to lay off workers' with multiple cups of salt.

I still have little sympathy though -- if your business cannot survive without exploiting people, it shouldn't survive, no matter what the cause of your business needing to exploit people.

Neither of those are particularly innovative inventions.
You can achieve a similar goal with the Akka framework on the JVM (functionally native with Scala). Uses the actor model and message passing for every concurrency goal achieved by Elixir. AND you can bundle in all your existing jars if the Java world matters to you.

I doubt I can train myself to do better than ChatGPT can, this late in the game. When I last needed to communicate in Chinese, which I often have to for products I’ve ordered or other mishaps, all I did was use ChatGPT and compare the result in other translation apps to make sure it approximated what I wanted to say. I also included the English version for completeness and accuracy. While it’s true I should learn other languages… right now it’s simply easier to assume computers can take on this role in the near future, at least until ChatGPT can be trusted as an education tool.
In fairness the unemployment rate in Europe is now twice what it is in the US.

I think realistically, though, if you asked any business in any country "Would increasing the cost of employees make you more likely to have trouble paying employees" every business would answer yes in a survey.

> Once you include the complicated math of quality-adjusted life years, it's almost never worth it.

This is an actuarial argument, that applies is you want to have the most efficient overall healthcare system. In other words, if you have to ration the access to MRIs and to followup tests.

Now suppose that you are not limited by scarcity. It would absolutely make sense to use the minimally invasive procedures, but perhaps weigh the results a bit less heavily for followup tests.

because that prosperity does not follow a Gaussian distribution. The United States has a uniquely skewed distribution of national income; and Thomas Pikkety’s analysis of that data shows that the skew is growing progressively larger.

It's not unlike how more than 80% of workers would love a raise. It's all posturing until it's actually done.

Realistically though, PTO comes out of salary, just like healthcare. For the businessman, it's a matter of total costs vs labor they get. Whether it's needing to hire someone to cover for 280 days of pto of everyone else, or paying more.

What raises wages and benefits is that the employer has to pay more to have enough people that want the job and are qualified. Total wage expenses go up only when there's no other choice.
How does it protect online news websites to prevent people from sharing links to their articles on social media? That's a major discovery mechanism for their content.
It seems like the reason the shit is hitting the fan at this particular point in time is because of the recent AI and LLM race.

If I were to guess, it probably originated in an edgy, hyperbolic statement like “the new AI empires will be built on the free data from the old ones”, uttered by someone scary and important, perhaps Altman.

Through the rumor mill all the feudal lords in the data-kingdom, like Steve Huffman, Musk etc are freaking out and are fortifying their defenses against this new perceived existential threat, sacrificing whatever minuscule openness remained in the process.

To me, it’s obvious that a new copyright interpretation is needed for commercial AI applications, which would alleviate the gold rush panic. However, the regulatory bodies (ironically, eroded by the same corporations), don’t have any teeth left to do anything about it, so it’s a Wild West, and they all know it. The legal defense against scraping has nothing to do with principles, even less so these days, it’s all just about abusing the legal system for dominance games.

Personally, I think the threat is overblown. Yes, AI will force eg Google to improve their shit ranking of recipe sites, but AI can’t provide up-to-date stuff people care about, so Google, Facebook, Twitter etc will keep providing services just like today.
> Time, however, comes into play when a molecule collides with another one, triggering a chemical reaction. Then, a storm strikes. The quantum steadiness bursts when the sections of the electronic cloud pour from one molecule upon another.

If only my college chemistry class started here. I really enjoyed physics but for some reason never grokked chem. This might’ve changed all that.
This is correct. If you want a true array experience you have to use atomics or a nif.
I've never understood the attraction of the iPad for travel with any hint of work. Today's modern laptops, whether a MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, or the typical corporate 14-inch Lenovo, take up so little room and weight that it's hard to imagine giving up a real keyboard simply so you can carry a few extra pair of underwear that, in today's modern fabrics, can be carried in the pocket of a laptop sleeve anyway. Heck, even when my trip combines business and personal, it's no challenge at all to carry two laptops--my own, and the company's, in the same attache.

I just don't get it.
IDK about artists (always did my art on DOS and Windows) yet Mac is slowly conquering business with consistency and fewer ads. Windows used to be the business OS, it was customizable, corp controlled where need be, and backward compatible. It was one platform to dev for and manage to reach a huge audience.

Now Windows reputation has suffered mightily with bundled ads, version churn (also impacts Mac yet with limited hardware the impact is lessened), and major swings in UI changes (often regressing).

It almost feels like Apple and Microsoft are slowly trading positions, whilst Mac retains a limited hardware set; making things easier for them. Interesting to see how Apple's shift to services ends up, will they become as obnoxious as Microsoft?
I'm saying the laws EU has released are too complex and indirect and cost too much money, and that if they wanted to ban behavioral advertising outright they should have and could have done that instead of what they have done.
> What was often excluded in the noise was that if it were mandated for all girls as some states were recommending, it would be so expensive that funding for other health programs would need to be reduced.

This is an argument from scarcity. If you have a severely limited amount of a resource, it makes sense to sacrifice some people, so that more people can receive life-saving care.

If the resource is not scarce, then this simply doesn't apply. These days HPV vaccine (in Europe) is around $30, so it makes sense to just vaccinate everybody.

> Preventive medicine is good - to an extent. Beyond that it is bad.

Nope. It's always good, but sometimes it's too expensive.
Think about what you get out of face to face socializing. It's not just verbal communication. You get facial expressions, body language, their style, their image, their smell, you can touch them. I can pass you snacks, a beer, give you a hug hello and goodbye. You're in the room together. You're sharing an experience.

No other form of communication enhances, adds too, or improves on these things - with the possible exception of VRChat.

Voice chat and message chat offer a fraction of the full experience. Not to mention dealing with unreliable and sketchy brokers and middle men. You can talk, but there are rules, sometimes subscriptions, or other strings attached. Also they get to spy on you and sell your private information at will. Social media is lesser still. A feed about your life so acquaintances and strangers alike can casually browse your life history at will. They'll know about you, but never really know you. They'll only know what you show them.

You see, it's not just about the richness of information or experience for its own sake. Ask yourself why we socialize? What's the goal? It's to develop a connection. But there's a difference between good and great connections. How strong of a relationship can one develop when the "handshake" is limited, restricted, and fundamentally flawed?
The article mentions that "the study of modern languages is falling across the board in many rich countries" so this phenomenon is not exclusive to Chinese.

I think it's part of a larger trend of people choosing not to learn any language besides English because they think that everything else is "useless".

The article also mentions Korean as an exception, but it only shows the increase as a percentage. I wonder how many people are actually learning Korean though, because otherwise this could be like that xkcd joke about the fastest growing religion.
Sure however:

1. They can allocate measurably portions of it to low risk investments, bonds, etc.

2. A qualified direct benefit plan (which is referred to as a pension) has guarantees attached to it. Even if the company goes completely under and all that money bursts into flames, the PBGC (https://www.pbgc.gov/) will guarantee the payout of the pension to the pensioner and foot the bill.

I'm not trying to suggest that there aren't costs that need to be borne by someone but forcing the worker to bear those costs seems like it's quite obviously the wrong choice (they should be allowed to bear it if they want to though).
Totally out of my depth here but is there any chance that this could be added to something like Ollama and run on a 32gb or 64gb M series Mac in due course? I’m currently running base CodeLlama in this manner but it’s the 7b variant.
Every web server logs request information. Is that spying on you too? If you go to a website, they aren't "spying" on you, you are volunteering your information to them. Stop hitting yourself.
Both canned, but not the same brand. And even if they were, who's to say whether the sourcing and prep was controlled for in all respects? But it was a consistent observation I noted over multiple cats and multiple brands. They liked both a lot, but salmon seemed to be the clear winner.
> I don't know about the percentage of affected stars in a typical galaxy collision but note that you don't need a collision for two stars to affect each other.

True, but the way in which they affect each other is that they try their best to collide.

From that perspective, it's kind of weird if collisions don't happen.

So you can't be extradited to the states or go to jail there as it doesn't violate the CFAA (as the supreme court sent it back)?

I guess 500k and no lawyer fees sounds like it isn't punitive given it's, i assume, decently sizeable company?

I'm wondering if we're looking at another MPAA/RIAA situation where they threaten 6 figure sums at individuals.

I lived through that, but this time it's not some 32kbps mp3s of metallica, it's just the entire future of human thought and power itself.

You never really know how a common law justice system is going to act.
we support our employees working on open source during their Friday projects

This is very different than hashicorps model of paying people to work on the opensource project during their working hours. Making it a core part of their job.

If we are to accept that the OpenTF foundation is going to be a better maintainer of terraform we need something better than "Hack on opensource if you want to!"

Spacelift doesn't have a good track record of contributing to opensource so the current model isn't working.

Also, Jacob started OctoSQL before ever joining Spacelift so its pretty odd to use that as an example of spacelift doing OSS well. Especially since his activity on his has tanked since joining you.
