Well India is place where people compete to be identified as backward caste so they can get reservations/quota in colleges/jobs etc.

This article is written precisely for Western audience who wouldn't know these OBC are among extremely powerful part of political establishment. Reading this article one can imagine these people must be suffering unimaginable atrocities. One who lives in India knows in fact OBCs are largest group inflicting atrocities on actual lower castes which SCs/STs.

Its a problem not easy to solve. Governments all over India have strict laws against Dalit atrocities. But political considerations and uneven enforcement does not help people that are supposed to benefit from these laws.

Another big factor is India being poor country there are not enough material resources as West so lower castes can be given ample support to progress without taking away significant resources from others. This situation just causes more resentment across board.
I had a close friend with T1D who asked me to help him set up, and dial in a closed loop APS about two years ago. I took a deep dive into it and found it to be much, much more complicated than the PID type regulation I was expecting it to be. Plus, if I made a mistake, he might die. So I declined out of fear.

Unfortunately he did die just last March, alone in his apartment after slipping into a coma. His pump kept right on pumping him straight to his grave because the feedback loop of the system required human intervention, even if the human is incapacitated.

I wish I would have taken the risk, and I do hope this complicated, but solvable problem will be, and the solution made available to those who need it.

>figure out which shell aliases

I use shell functions for this type stuff, and I have it spit out the command line it's going to run with all the args (to stderr) and then running the command, and other sorts of programmatic touchup (tell me if i'm in the wrong directory, or whatever)

spitting out the command line it's going to run with all the args (to stderr) is a function too. shell functions can also do nice things like change the directory in my outside shell, set environment variables, etc.
can you run large language models out of orbstack? I imagine it's not possible but am curious

The underlying phenomena is not totally new. You always had a little money being made with bumper stickers, NRA memberships, Che Guevara t-shirts, guys on AM radio hawking anti-commie spray or magic crystals. But the vast majority just got Walter Cronkite echoing safely average thoughts between wholesome ads for McDonald's and Chevrolet. Radicalization wasn't a billion-dollar market, way back when. (Unless you count rock music or violent video games, or religion.)

But for a while now, starting with cable news and now with social media, the invisible hand of the market has been playing with some dangerous memetic levers.

In the meantime, Americans' trust in their institutions is languishing at rock bottom[0]. And when people lose trust like that, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. Things don't look good, and the problem might be much bigger than YouTube's algorithm.

Show HN: I gave a talk on “Should engineers design?” [video]
“Designers design, and engineers build. This is the current state of things in the world. But is this the ideal state? Can engineers do more than just build?”

Hey HN! I recently gave a talk (my first talk ever) at my university's hacker club, NUS Hackers, discussing the topic of “Should engineers design?”

As software engineer who dabbles in design a lot, this was a question that I've pondered on frequently, and so this is a topic I'm very passionate about.
It's interesting seeing some of the errors present in something less than a century old on the topic.

"In the earliest times of which we have definite history everybody believed in many gods."

Eh, not quite. You have Philio of Byblos claiming the Phonecian mysteries per Sanchuniathon from around the time of the Trojan War were both about how life began as senseless creatures in mud that eventually became watchers of the sky, and that the history of the pantheon was in fact human inventors deified after the fact.

Here is an excerpt:

From its connexion Mot was produced, which some say is mud, and others a putrescence of watery compound; and out of this came every germ of creation, and the generation of the universe. So there were certain animals which had no sensation, and out of them grew intelligent animals, and were called "Zophasemin," that is "observers of heaven"

This is further strengthened not only by the discovery of the pantheon in Ugarit which matched the one described, but also in the records of Ramses III about the end of the 19th dynasty under foreign invasion he claimed that they "made the gods like men" and had city governors making decisions in place of a Pharoh (the Phonecian style of government were city states).

You see the concept of senseless creatures from mud growing into intelligent beings again in Leucretius a millennia later where it is coupled with an explicit description of survival of the fittest in book 5 of De Rerum Natura.

So atheism and a rejection of supernatural divinity or first movers may go back far further than the author seems to think.

As for his thinking Christianity owed much to Orphism, he'd clearly been reading George Frazier's Golden Bough, which has since been broadly rejected by scholarship. And further, he seems to be unaware that at the time ancient Greek authorities (specifically Atrapanus of Alexandria) had claimed Moses taught Orpheus the mysteries, so first century Judaism was already seen as connected with that specific set of beliefs separate from any direct syncretism.
Again: they asked explicitly to be allowed to quote the maximum of all the pass-through fees in their regions, and were denied.

For Laos and Cambodia you do. They have small populations and most cities don’t have any large buildings at all. I can understand this happening in remote areas in these countries where there are no locals and no local law enforcement. But to be happening in hundreds pf thousands scale at these small cities is not reasonable.
Already does that-- `sdate --covid 19` will keep it perpetually March 2020. It also accepts arbitrary starting points with `--epoch`.

Not sure how you'd do a perpetual 2020 while allowing the month to advance-- pretty simple if you keep the month as a number, I suppose, but problematic for the named months used in the examples (what should the 44th month of a year be named?).

I couldn't disagree more strongly.

Gatekeeping is an essential component of maintaining high standards.

Using arbitrary criteria is bad because it doesn't lead to high standards.

But with finely tuned criteria (e.g. using signals which actually do correlate with what you're trying to achieve) it's a powerful tool.
This is a very harsh response. You can disagree and still have a civil discussion. Many cultures are represented on Hacker News and we can all learn something from each other.

A very similar looking model made by Hitachi (Japan) became famous in the 70s in Louisiana. Literally every single household practically had one as rice was incredibly common.

yt-dlp works with many but not all podcast websites. You could download everything with metadata and mtime and then sort by earliest to most recent in a file browser.

I wrote a tool that might help with this if you don't want to download the files immediately but it definitely isn't required if you just download everything and use yt-dlp's download-archive.

pip install xklb
lb tubeadd podcasts.db 'http://www.hellointernet.fm/podcast?format=rss'
lb listen podcast.db # it will keep track of what you played and prioritize playing things that haven't been played before

And later do tubeupdate to check for new episodes:

lb tubeupdate podcasts.db

If the website extractor provides metadata about file creation (eg. YouTube extractor) then you could use this to play the oldest videos first:

lb listen podcast.db -u time_modified

If you want to download later you could do this:

lb dl podcast.db --audio # with the above example it saves to the folder "Generic" in the current working directory since it uses the yt-dlp generic extractor

They were attempting to subpoena tech companies and websites where the video was reuploaded, demanding user information and IP logs for anyone who accessed the video. I'm unsure of how many video hosts actually complied, given how many companies don't have a presence in NZ. Apparently at least a few, given how they were able to charge at least 35 people.

From there, it's a basic request to the ISP for subscriber information, and a day or two later the police are seizing the poor schmuck's electronics. If they find christchurch.mp4 or manifesto.pdf, that's a 10 year prison sentence.
It would be better to call a lawyer or the police. There's no AUP or TOS for the entire internet (aside from stuff that endangers the network itself), and I'm strongly opposed to any efforts to create one.

PTO accrual: you have a PTO balance, which you can spend as you wish and which is filled by a certain number of PTO hours each pay period.

Mandatory 4 weeks: you have to take 4 weeks off each year. You cannot spend your PTO as you wish.

In my case I don't have accrual, my PTO balance is reset every 1st of January, if I have any days left, they are "gone". I get the same balance of Jan 1st if I had 30 days of PTO on Dec 31st and if I had 0 days. It's not ideal but still is better than mandatory time off as I still have a choice to let the PTO "burn".

As far as me being an outlier I think you just get industry experience from reddit and have not worked much. Wherever I worked managers sent emails with dozens of names on the cc: regarding PTO balance reaching cap, there were always giant threads whenever HR posted about PTO cash out or cap change polices etc. If people starved for PTO that would not have been happening.

Yep. I first and foremost look fir Linux support explicitly called out in the system requirements. If I can't find it, I look for reviews mentioning Linux.

But explicitly supported is always the best, ideally backed by reviews that confirm it.

These drones won't be sophisticated. They'll be cheaper versions of off the shelf drones. Quantity > Quality.

Imagine a drone that flies towards a cellphone signal and when it gets within range does some basic shape recognition and adjusts it's course to fly towards a the nearest neck until it detonates a crude fragementation grenade.

How much would a drone that can do that cost today? They don't need to be durable as they are meant for single use, and they don't need to be particularly fast, just faster than a person can run.

As far as I know, the race question on government forms is for census reasons.

But this thread raises an interesting point.. asking about race or about caste on government forms could be potentially creating extra divisiveness, by making people identify themselves one way or the other and making them conscious of their differences.
I can't believe 'There's no good content anymore.' There are more people; there's more connectivity; there are more digital cameras.

IMHO, the thing that changed was the signal:noise ratio.

When Google started, it was, what? 1:10? 1:100? Interesting pages : crap.

Now it's... 1:10,000? 1:1,000,000?

That turns a challenging problem into a possibly impossible one.

Granted, Google bears culpability in this, because at some point they realized: we can make as much or more money if we optimize for ad delivery than user search intent. And once they showed those cards with a wink, content optimized to this for its own monetization.

Not on youtube, in my experience.
The argument you're making (you can't trust software whose you code you haven't studied) applies to every software package ever made.
It's definitely situation dependent. When writing a lot of frontend code (vue, typescript, css, tailwind, html) I know what I'm typing several mental steps before I actually type it, so speed gains there are most pronounced.

Sitting somewhere in the middle are dynamic languages where there might be certain implementations (say... some random api integration) where it's simply a lot of code I've typed thousands of times before. This still benefits from fast typing, especially when needing to operate surgically with vim, it's one of the moments I love the most (basically getting 20x combos with perfect typing at high speed when moving/modifying/transforming blocks of text etc etc)

What benefits least of the 3 is writing things like Golang where it still definitely helps typing fast, don't get me wrong, but I usually have to think more there. Pace is slower, and symbols can become a pain in the ass.

At the end of the day... you're still typing thousands of lines of code regardless of whether you're thinking or not. I never understood the argument "I spend more time thinking than coding". You are still going to write the same amount of code whether you're thinking or not. My ideal world (why I love typing fast) is that that time of me coding gets brought down by 50-200% over someone who types slow. I use that time for accelerating ahead. Ie... prototyping and deleting tons of code before refining/cementing in a design is painless.

If AI will destroy the “influencers culture”, I’m for it! Shilling after shilling for consumerism to feed more greedy corps and brands, social media amplified that, and if AI will disrupt that business and render it infeasible for those wannabe influencers, then it’s probably one of the best outcomes of the whole AI hype.
> Do insurance policies get packaged and sold as financial products, or are they re-insured on the backend but continue to be held by the originator?

I've never seen this happen. Smaller carriers carry re-insurance since most smaller carriers are limited geographically and it's entirely possible a big-enough event would cause an issue where they couldn't pay out to cover all claims. State-based carriers (smaller farm mutuals, for instance) could be VERY susceptible to this.

In Texas after Hurricane Ike this caused a slew of changes to our underwriting guidelines along along the coast with rate changes and where we focused on recruiting agents and policies. (e.g. recruiting further north and west).

> Related, at what point of policy origination/reinsurance are standards audited and applied? where does that get noticed/rejected?

A lot of policies are bound for 30 days initially and then can be cancelled if the underwriting guidelines fail for the policy. Some companies may not even bind coverage until after underwriting is completed. As an agent if you sell a policy that isn't priced correctly, MOST of the time it gets caught by underwriting. They have ranges of limits that you can go between. For instance, normally contents coverage on a house can be some percentage of the insurance home value (let's say 40% to 120%). Let's say your house is insured for $250k... but you bought a $120k brand piano. Normal contents coverage might be 80% = $200k for your clothes, computers, electronics, kitchen stuff, etc, etc. That piano would require you to either 1) exceed 120% (which would require EXPLICIT underwriting approval) or you'd have to get a rider/endorsement for a special item. (which would likely also require more underwriting approval.)
