Not sure of the last swipe-only reader I used, but it's still there as a fallback on many of them if chip and/or tap doesn't work for some reason.

Gas pumps were the last holdouts on swipe reads, in my area anyway.

My son was recently telling me he still knows of people who use the original Square swipe reader on their phone, which surprised me as I had guessed Square no longer supported it, and many phones don't even have the 3.5mm headphone jack that the reader plugs into.
> Trading systems and asset allocations are not the same thing.

Asset allocation is just a trading system that changes much less frequently and has a different belief system underpinning it. They are both fundamentally decision frameworks about how to spend your money.

The tragedy with this article is that a lot of the advice is sound. Once people get to Rule #11 they have a lot of reason to trust this author and adopt his bulletproof portfolio. And then they learn the hard way how it wasn't bulletproof.

The author really should have known better. The prescriptive recommendations in Rule #11 contradict so much of the otherwise sound advice.
I still don't see why it matters who the person is. Why not ask for evidence instead?
If you're including every amateur unpaid artist, then sure maybe 0.5%.

BUT if you're talking about paid professional TV and film production (the context of SAG-AFTRA), probably something like 95% of content that is written, shot and edited into a final product makes it to audiences. After all, that stuff is expensive.

By the hour, most of that content is TV shows. Most of the unseen ~5% is produced pilot episodes that didn't get picked up for a full season. And a small amount will be films that halted production midway, or turned out to be so bad they weren't released.
The attention matrix is computed based on all tokens in the context, so it kind of functions non-parametrically (but over the batch instead of over the whole training dataset)

• Spacial Computing

This is definitely an emerging field that is trying to develop market share. Unclear if the tech is really there in the long haul for comfortable spacial computing though. What you're seeing now is literally akin to something like the Apple I being released. We have a LONG road to go but there's very little doubt that the end goal is something powerful.

• AI

Duh? It's useful now, and likely will only get better. No question here that sharpening your AI skills is a safe bet.

• Synthetics

Lots of work going on quietly around synthetic engineering, BCIs, etc. If you're interested in the human body interface then this is a field that has some interesting problems but, like spacial computing, probably won't come to fruition for many decades.

• Security

Always useful and always changing. A no brainer if you're looking to skill up in a specific computer science niche.

I'm on a lot of discords for businesses that are run by individuals or small groups, mainly in the custom keyboard space, and they all have websites and emails for support questions, payment systems, but the discord is where the users of their products are, and the business owner is frequently there in a more casual setting so we can get quicker support/leverage the community, show off mods, and just discuss. I think it's a great idea for businesses reliant on community engagement like these, or indie games, to have a discord (separate from official channels)
It's simple and doesn't involve guessing what the market will do. Just as Browne recommended, you pick a percentage to hold for each asset, and rebalance on a fixed schedule that's long enough to avoid short-term tax rates. If percentages aren't off by much, don't bother.

It's not gambling, and it's not original with Browne. The percentages aren't magic, they're just anything that has worked reasonably well historically over many different economic conditions. Most fee-based financial advisors will give you a strategy like this. It's probably the most widely-accepted strategy in finance.

Yes, a professional stunt pilot should pay more than someone with a 9 to 5 desk job.

Yes, someone living in a high risk of car break-ins should pay more for auto insurance.

Yes, someone living in a low-lying area next to the beach in a place known for hurricanes should pay more for flood insurance than someone living in Colorado.

What we shouldn't do is charge people more for being of a certain race or gender.

I have no problem with people getting a discount on health insurance if they wear a continuous blood monitor and show that they only eat metabolically healthy foods that don't spike their insulin and glucose levels.

If you have a great reputation and a constant stream of clients that is sustainable for decades you are an outlier.
"Throughout the entire duration the AV is stopped, traffic remains unblocked and flowing to the right of the AV," a Cruise spokesperson said in a statement. "The ambulance behind the AV had a clear path to pass the AV as other vehicles, including another ambulance, proceeded to do."

Cruise seems to be ignorant of the law here. the law is: YOU GET OUT OF THE WAY of emergency vehicles, period. unless you are "landlocked" by other cars, you get the fuck out of the way, so that they can do their job. it is not acceptable to say "well the other lanes were clear, so its the ambulance fault. most human drivers instinctively know this.
Ah yeah, the imfamous "cash and cash equivalants" in public companies balance sheets. Yet another topic in which most people ignore just how well solved it is among professionals.
Austin’s public transit is an absolute joke compared to SF. It’s actually embarrassing how bad it is for a city it’s size, but that’s what you get when you live in an anti-tax area like Texas. Perhaps California taxes are too high, but at least some of them are being put to good use.

It is possible to identify candidates with low skills but high potential who can be trained. But most hiring managers are too lazy and incompetent to do this so instead they take the easy route of filtering based on education and work experience. Back in the early days of computing before it was really taught in most universities, IBM used to hire programming trainees based on the results of an aptitude exam. This worked pretty well and a similar approach could still be used today.
And you have entirely failed to provide whatsoever any proof that SAG-AFTRA voice actors are at all needed in video games. Like there must be some research on this? That prove that they positively affect sales.

Ask HN: What would you do with a 2 month runway?
I'm looking at 2 months of free time. Going back to a specific full-time job after that is possible without needing to put time into it (luckily).

I've also recently had time off where I decompressed and successfully dealt with some burnout issues (also pretty lucky).

Id like to put two months of work into a project of my own. I have a long list of ideas and I'm narrowing them down. It looks like I'm deciding between a local-first cms project, writing tech books (in interesting ways that blend storytelling and instruction), or doing whatever feels right on a given day.

I have two goals: create something that can be at least the first version of a product, and enjoy the process.

Two months is a deceptive amount of time. It can go by fast, but some of my best work has happened in a matter of weeks rather than months or years.

What would you do if you had two months of funemployment?
Yeah, but it's not as widely accepted. Wearing such things can easily cost you points in a job interview, for example.

Like I said in my other comment, I'm not "demanding" anything, my initial point wasn't even about Homebrew specifically but about why they're not automating their builds. I don't care whether the creator adds it or not, so it's not a demand from me at all, but it seems like you are the one who's annoyed that I'm just asking about Homebrew in the first place, calling me "entitled" for something I don't even care about.
The term FUD makes sense in low-risk applications where the benefit of the doubt ought to be given. In safety-critical contexts it should be completely reversed, and confidence, certainty and trust should be looked at extremely critically.
I find this a positive development.

The people that moved to Austin from California are conformists. The disappointment they experience is what happens when they are not surrounded by the concentrated capital that makes their (relative boring and mundane) jobs seem more important than they are.

Austin will be just fine without the herds of "talent" that stuff overfinanced Series-C "startups."
Nothing is bulletproof, but you have to do something and Browne's portfolio has less risk than most. It sacrifices some returns to achieve that, but if you're retired or nearly so, it's a solid choice.

I'm bearish on self driving usually but this seems blown out of porportions.

1) I don't think it was in the way. A lane was open to the right lane but it waited 90s for a firetruck to move in the left lane before it continued on.

2) If I am paying for a ride in a Cruise and some random person hops in the front seat to "relocate" the car because it is inconviencing them - I will not be happy. Safety issue, etc.

3) We don't know if the patient would have died anyways. It was only a 90 second delay.

4) "after" in the title is being used as temporally after. There were a lot of things that happened before you could attribute to the cause of death - signaling out this one is sensationalist.
Programmers excel at it, you don't see that happening much with Physics, Chemistry, Math, Material Sciences etc

That is a fact, and people can try as hard as possible to deflect and "what about -" but nobody cares. The truth is, California is an amazing place to live. It is hard to afford (I'm moving out because its too expensive) but I'm going to come back once my bank is full again lol.

One is a reasonable prediction of what would happen if there was no longer a marginal threat of US escalation constraining it because the US decided to escalate fully without it, the other is a non-sequitur in this discussion.

Nation-state isn't a power level, and if it was, well, the Mexican cartels do have power which rivals nation-states, and in any case international criminal organization don't require the power of a nation-state to do any of the things described, as history has repeatedly shown.

> Maybe gold and inflation are no longer as correlated as they used to be.

Or maybe they were never correlated and people just assumed they did and never bothered looking at the data:

* https://www.nber.org/papers/w18706

* https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3667789
Or me with my tinfoil hat:Gold is correlated with real value and the inflation numbers don't reflect that because they're artificially suppressed.

I.e. if gold looks flat growth wise to the dollar, maybe it's cause it actually went up in value but the dollar went down due to inflation.

This is about the same I heard from a climatologist in my country: we are on track for 3-4 C. Is it possible though? If so - how are we not freaking out about it?
Oh yes, they do. And that is on top of the 15-20% in every western democracy that has no issue voting for wannabe fascist and totalitarians. The upcoming election cycles will be interesting to watch. And obviously vote in, hoping it kind of makes a difference.
Good riddance. May it be the first of many.
I disagree with the ban and how it was voted, but in the end it might be better like this. Paris have a high density, and during the day-evening, with how easy and fast it is to commute there, it's at least twice as much as it's listed. E-scooter are easier and more practical to use than bike, but they are also less stable and the brakes aren't always as good as they should (this is also an issue with shared bikes, just less prevalent).

Might be the average user, but I also see more asocial comportements on E-scooter despite them being less prevalent than bikes everywhere I go.

Still disagree with how it was decided though.
I'm a solo freelancer and I happened to get contracts that needed more than one person to work on. Sometimes the customer paid everybody separately, sometimes they paid me and I paid the others.

If this does happen, I'm assuming Kojima Productions will attempt to get an exemption to work under the demanded terms, like a few A24 movies have in the film strike. (if that's even possible with how they do texture scanning/motion capture of so many people)

As there's a theme in comments here - I'm surprised people are so confused by the landing page. Between "a linter for prose" and the screenshot at the top of the page, I found it quite clear what the use case and point of the tool was.

Personally interested where the confusion is- maybe unfamiliarity with "linting" or "prose"?
"Linter" is broad. Turns out it has the feature I most hoped for, language server protocol support, but it wasn't mentioned until far down into the integration docs.

A free, local, grammar checker that I can integrate into my existing editor? Pretty cool!

Update: Oh, cool! After installing the third party language server they recommend that wraps Vale, I have decent realtime grammar checking in my editor of choice.

I was taught to allow the ambulance to manuever and do what it needs to do. It will drive the wrong direction down a road, hop onto curbs, drive on sidewalks, etc. They have trainining and experience in this type of driving.

It sounds like moving to the other lane would have just blocked another ambulance. What is the procedure here?
It is a tautology. The heavy lifting is being done by the phrase "whose interactions correspond to some basic constraints". Maybe the word "basic" implies more simplicity than is warranted, though if you actually write down what the constraints are, it's a short list and they are not very complicated. That those constraints lead to the tensor product is tautological. I'm not saying this is a Deep Insight, only that it is the answer to "Why the tensor product?"

BTW, just because something is a tautology doesn't mean it can't lead to deep insights. Darwinian evolution is a tautology too: if you have a variety of self-reproducing systems, then the ones that are better at reproducing will make more copies than those that are worse. Well, duh! That's what "better at reproducing" means! The thing that makes it a Deep Insight is that this tautological observation can actually explain some very complex data. Likewise, that the tensor product is the mathematical construct that describes linear interactions between systems that obey conservation laws is a tautology. What makes that a Deep Insight is not that, but the fact that the resulting relatively simple math makes surprising predictions (entanglement in particular) that turn out to be confirmed by experiment.
For my own one-man electrical shop, I have used a private tax preparer – IN PERSON without a computer – to prepare US-state-level business taxes.

Earlier this year, I used ChatGPT to help me file my Federal 2022 taxes, so I credited this $20/month service under the 1040's "Paid Preparer Information."

Discussing this submission with my tax preparer had her mortified about career decisions (middle-aged female, began own taxshop a decade prior).

I don't know where worlds are heading, but she was honest about "how standard/easy" the majority of tax-filings are. In my own case, I pay for her services on business taxes because the entire tax system IS DESIGNED TO BE DIFFICULT for Average Joe Consumer.

I can afford to not play tax games, can you?
Nice work, could use some more data panels (sea surface temperatures, ice sheet and glacial melt rates, sea level rise, permafrost carbon emissions, maybe).

From the linked paper describing the radiative balance calculations (note we are currently still in the highest emission scenario used in these models):

https://gmd.copernicus.org/articles/13/3571/2020/

> "Here, we include a representation of permafrost feedbacks based on the MAGICC permafrost (Schneider von Deimling et al., 2012), leading to additional cumulative CO2 emissions of 25 to 88 GtC by 2100, 42 to 378 GtC by 2200, and 51 to 542 GtC by 2300 for the lowest (SSP1-1.9) and highest (SSP5-8.5) scenario, respectively (Table 2). Thus, our permafrost module is in line with the IPCC Special Report on 1.5 ∘C warming assumptions for the lowest scenarios (25 GtC versus 27 GtC). While we do not entertain the probabilistic version in this study, our default settings are comparable to the median values reported in Schneider von Deimling (2012). In the highest scenarios (SSP5-8.5), these permafrost-related Earth system feedbacks cause CO2 concentrations that are up to 200 ppm higher by 2200 (Fig. 3a)."
The E-scooter fleet is replaced by e-bikes.
Perhaps they should ban cycling since the lady in the article could be knocked down and hurt by a bicycle, I have been hit twice by cyclists. It's kind of ridiculous but I believe this is more about some hidden agenda like scooters taking away Taxi fares, etc. Would they impose the same ban against electric bikes?

Personally, I really enjoy them in Europe. I was walking about 12-15 km a day in most cities a day and there were some areas I wanted to revisit later during my trip, these scooters really made it convenient when I didn't want to walk for an hour or two to get back to a certain location.
I think the safe default assumption is that if the ambulance driver didn't use the right lane, there was probably a good reason. Clearly the firetruck driver agreed with them. Maybe traffic was moving so quickly that they'd have to accelerate hard and risk hurting the patient, or they were concerned about getting rear-ended. Regardless, Cruise's vehicle clearly was at fault for not getting out of the way.
The Black Rock Desert is way more remote (certainly from Reno, and possibly even from Gerlach) than any British music festival I've been to, I'd much rather get stuck in your average British mud than the lake-bed clay that's up there, and then there's the climate. I say this having been to both – they're very different.
