Yes, many people enjoy making things up, and they are good at it, and it's hard to detect.

Reddit is particularly awful, but HN definitely isn't immune. The moderator's attitude to lying is generally very lame, eg here's someone admitting to habitually lying:

The whole point of the scientific method is to try to remove this sort of problem when attempting to determine truth. It's certainly not perfect, but it is very effective.
One method used by unions in pursuing the just rights of their members is the strike or work stoppage, as a kind of ultimatum to the competent bodies, especially the employers.

This method is recognized by Catholic social teaching as legitimate in the proper conditions and within just limits. In this connection workers should be assured the right to strike, without being subjected to personal penal sanctions for taking part in a strike.

While admitting that it is a legitimate means, we must at the same time emphasize that a strike remains, in a sense, an extreme means. It must not be abused; it must not be abused especially for "political" purposes. Furthermore it must never be forgotten that, when essential community services are in question, they must in every case be ensured, if necessary by means of appropriate legislation. Abuse of the strike weapon can lead to the paralysis of the whole of socioeconomic life, and this is contrary to the requirements of the common good of society, which also corresponds to the properly understood nature of work itself.

I disagree. Cutting all the useless corporate subsidies and pork would allow us to simplify tax filing and the tax code all in one fell swoop. Then we could automate a huge chunk of the IRS and reallocate their employees to other agencies that will serve the tax payers better. It's a win for everyone except corrupt politicians and their corporate masters.
Problem is the battery packs. These kits need batteries and the best and cheapest batteries come out of wrecked teslas. If Tesla is allowed to continue locking down their batteries behind proprietary battery controllers the parts aren’t parts they’re intellectual property which Tesla can turn off at their convenience. And it’s super convenient for them to render parts unusable in the secondary market.
It is not that high. Average houses are around 300-500k in Texas. That is like 5-6k in taxes a year.

Dived into creating product demos for my Next.js app. The journey: full of "uhhs" and software juggling. Found a few tools that smoothed the process (no affiliations). Shared my experience in a blog post. Would love to hear others' experiences or advice on this!
I don't buy it and they sound like a very annoying coworker. If he's 100% devoted to pair-programming and makes such a massive difference, promote him to a lead. Programming is the only profession that acts like it's literally impossible to ever measure productivity at all without committing some obvious wrong. Drives me nuts, coming from a blue collar background. It's cargo cult thinking used to justify many negative outcomes.
Reminder that, at the end of the day, Teslas are just running on ordinary standardized li-ion 18650 cells packaged up in a proprietary housing.
The vast majority of lobbying dollars already are tracked, I recommend OpenSecrets. I don't think it's any secret that politicians are taking political donations and they (when they retire) or former staffers go to work for them for egregious sums of money.

Recently, I did not have a phone for a couple of days so I was using my laptop for everything. I came across so many bugs on the desktop equivalent of apps if they existed at all.

Some of them were frustrating like when I tried to order food on swiggy, it would go through with a credit card then get auto refunded and cancelled. The catch? The order will be delivered anyway and appear back in your order history. The refund will not be processed. Due to this strange behaviour, I ended up ordering the same thing 4x until I received my first order and it magically appeared back in the list as fulfilled.

The security guard asked me next day - why did you not receive all your orders that appeared late night? Was there a party?
I host a number of services for me and close friends and family, and I limit the access by manually creating accounts for them. I could enable OAuth via 3rd party service, but that would mean I'll have to pay much more attention to setup of ACLs, as these users will have a new account created for them with a link to their Github account.

Besides, I want to stay more or less independent from 3rd party services, particularly I'm bothered by the need to explicitly register an OAuth client. AP has a much better flow in that regard, services can interoperate without a given permission to do so.
That's all valid as long as people behave rational, what some people don't do in such situations.
considering how simple sqs is, i’m confused how building your own queue system on postgres is keeping it simple.

Tech Lead is a very difficult role. :/

If you are immature or competitive, you cease being a force multiplier to be a morale destroyer.

Those words have meanings. Look them up it you don't understand them. They're well used in this context to get the author's point across.

This is also why the most hilarious anti-feature of Jira, supposedly a tool to manage agile teams, is how every ticket has one person assigned to it. If you do sufficient pairing, the person assigned to a ticket is completely useless. Also why performance measurement from the outside of a team is always going to be dubious.

Every team knows their best performers, and their lowest performers. The number of points aren't going to line up with performance most of the time, precisely because time helping others is never going to show up. And if suddenly getting help lowers your review, you are going to ask for less help, not more: Trading accuracy in external performance tracking for lowered team performance sounds really dubious.
They've misunderstood what an in-memory database is though. The distinction only makes sense in a historical perspective, with on-disk formats and associated algorithms that worked well for execution from spinning iron. In fact neo4j is also an in-memory database, since it will slow to a complete crawl on a HDD. The fact that it supports swapping pages in and out of disk can more be likened to virtual memory, rather than any specific support for executing queries efficiently from disk.
In WA it’s free because no state taxes. You can pay money for consulting or for being sent a printed or more expensive binded copy of your return. I’ve used it for 5 years now maybe. So I feel comfortable knowing they have a revenue stream and when I did my due diligence when I started using them a while ago.

I should probably figure out how to get notified if they get acquired or something though.

The real scam is TurboTax charging over $100 for software that has a fixed yearly cost for development and a negligible cost for distribution and is used by millions.
That analysis assumes no utility from the house itself.

I.e. it ignores the cost of rent that you would otherwise be paying.
The GP talks about NT, Mac, etc. in the context of home computers, a market which (by virtue of being ridiculously bloated) NT couldn't actually target for an entire decade (such market was then using OSes where the minimal requirement was more like 0.5MB of RAM). At the very least it is unfair to claim it was ahead of the other OSes in that market, since it literally couldn't even think of competing with them.

The parent poster claimed the bloat was because of portability and other metrics, but this is also not true since other very much portable OSes from the next decade still had lesser minimum requirements.

NT was not such a good design as it is often claimed. It was a clone of a esoteric big iron OS that they were trying to retrofit on much smaller devices. They had to backpedal on everything from microkernel to personalities in order to be able to actually market it to "their target market".
Not only do you pay, you pay taxes on paying (sales tax).

No, they paid a service to do some of the more fiddly work for them.

Why have any capitalism? Because the alternatives like communism are disastrous. If we want a complex tax system tax prep companies serve a useful function.
> part about "to inform their own population" is secondary and irrelevant

It’s obviously relevant. If I’m paying for your news, I probably have an agenda. If I’m paying for my own news, I probably want to be informed.
My best answer to both is that humanity has not advanced to the stage where the government or (worse) un-appointed mail carriers, electronic or otherwise, who were not selected by the market for their moderation skills or evenhandedness, can be given that kind of power. Instead, we make smaller forums and voluntarily submit ourselves to small scale powers like dang directly on the basis of their fairness and effectiveness. Could AT&T pull a dang out of their inner workings? Probably not... and definitely not the several thousand that would be necessary to limit spam.
> Ironic that Amazon, originally a bookstore, can’t be trusted to sell real books.

They were never particularly trustworthy as a bookstore, but they undercut B&M stores on prices, so if you used a B&M bookstore for discovery, you could turn around and order at a substantial discount from Amazon.

Drizzle is much closer to a classic sql builder than an orm. At least in my case the trouble with ORMs is mostly in the concept itself. Mapping sql results into objects defined as part of a business model.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_%3D_PAT

I = (PAT) is the mathematical notation of a formula put forward to describe the impact of human activity on the environment.

I = P × A × T

The expression equates human impact on the environment to a function of three factors: population (P), affluence (A) and technology (T).

The variable A in the I=PAT equation stands for affluence. It represents the average consumption of each person in the population

Burning man is in the Black Rock Desert. The Black Rock Desert is an endorheic basin. There are no outflows. The lake bed itself is 1,000 sq miles. The drainage that drains into the lake bed is 11,600 sq miles.

The other big influence is that a lot of the members of the Bauhaus went to the US to teach, and so they influenced many of the midcentury designers that designed and built the post-war world.
I think the "feed" you're looking for is a physical newspaper subscription. If this sounds totally incorrect, hear me out. My wife gifted me a twice-a-week newspaper subscription a few months ago and it has many of the characteristics you're describing:

- Delayed news so the speculative-by-the-hour stuff is just not there.

- Fee that removes (most) ads, about $2/week.

- While authors can't truly keep their partisan opinions out of their writing, the "opinion" section contains most of it (I skip it).

- Turning the page and throwing out the paper when done "marks stories as read". Repeating article themes usually have important updated information.

There are additional benefits like the date and author of every article is very clear. There is a consistent quality of writing/editing. A solid half of the paper is about stuff local to my town and region in the state. A nice bonus is my elementary school aged kids sometimes catch a headline that interests them and I give them the page to read, after which we talk about it.

The downsides are:

- I get news later. For example, my wife found out Peewee Herman died like 3 days before I did.

- Going outside and physically picking up the paper isn't always convenient. Some days it comes at 6 AM, other days at 9 AM. I guess it depends on the paper person's route?

- There is a need to remember to get to a computer if there's something to remember for later, like a recipe or an event to schedule on the calendar.

If the above sounds appealing, I recommend getting some local paper subscription and cancelling if you don't like it after a few weeks. I don't have experience paying for an online-version of a newspaper, but I'm sure of the above benefits carry over.

Ohmygod this is brilliant. "Switzerland A Variety Of Facts Children's People And Places Book"

https://www.amazon.com/Switzerland-Variety-Childrens-People-...

Switzerland is a landlocked country with no coastline, but it borders five other countries. This peaceful country is home to one of the lowest murder rates in the world, at about five people per 100,000 residents. Its people have always been known for their benevolence, and despite the fact that it is one of the wealthiest nations in the world, the country has a reputation for being a peaceful place to live.

From the descriptions of other books:

Until the Myceneans conquered Crete, there were no toilet papers.

A great way to get your kids interested in cows is to teach them some fun facts about them. For example, did you know that they can't walk up and down stairs? That's because they have no legs. Or that you can name a cow? Or that cows are only found in the United States? Here are some other cool facts about cows that will interest kids. Let's take a look at some of them.You can find lots of interesting facts about cows online. For example, cows can see in 360-degrees, which helps them stay safe from predators. They can smell something up to six miles away. You can also find out how long a cow can hold its breath. The most interesting fact about cows is that they're social animals. Even if they're not in the middle of a herd, they'll stick together no matter what.Did you know that cows can hear higher frequencies? Despite their small size, a dairy animal can make over 90% of the world's milk supply. While a few thousand years ago, milking machines were invented, and today they can milk over a hundred cows an hour.

Children are increasingly interested in climate change and the effects it has on their lives. For example, they can learn about the dangers of El-Nino

[The Ancient Egyptians] agricultural techniques also allowed them to create useful items such as pottery

Unlike other cats, however, mountain lions seem to be particularly attracted to kids. While they may not be particularly dangerous, they do seem to perceive children as easy prey. Small children can make a great threat to mountain lions, so they will usually try to run away from them. That said, running away from a mountain wolf or cat could trigger a lion's instinct to chase after them.

D-Day for kids is a great lesson for the entire family, and it's easy to see why. The invasion began at 6 a.m., and by the end of the day, all but one million troops were dead or captured. The battle was the first in the history of the Allied Forces, and it changed the perception of what a soldier could do.

I suspect that there is something else going on than intelligence which will become obvious over the next few years.

There was a horse, "Clever Hans" who appeared to have the ability to answer surprisingly complicated mathematical questions. Did "Clever Hans" have mathematical intelligence. Not at all. He was responding to a cue unknowingly being given by his trainer.

I suspect the same thing is happening with ChatGPT. What if all that is happening is that the text is being formulated to very complicated cues that are implicit in the very complicated, statistical analysis?

So then he hasn't been taking zero, "literally zero" stories like the article says.
Amanita Phalloides is the only one I know of you can easily die from (others are possible, but harder to overdose or need some other preconditions), but it is also one that you can easily mistake for some Agarici (Agaricūs?).

I know of a case where someone ate conserved ones (thought it's Agaricus) way after they were collected and actually survived, but only barely with a liver transplant if I remember correctly. Because the reaction is hours delayed it's also not easy to find out the cause for your bad state.

edit: I think it was the liver not kidney.

> Remember “Snooki”?

> Traditionally-published.

Snooki was an established celebrity with a brand well before she was published at all; as far as I know her books were pretty much exactly in line with what people buying on the strength of their marketing would expect.

It may be “garbage” from the perspective of people with your or my tastes, but they were almost certainly not garbage from the perspective of the people to whom they were marketed. They weren’t, unlike the algorithmic (and previously, low-effort human written) spam that Amazon’s no-standards publishing and retailing policies effectively promote.
They probably should have given how hollow “precedent” actually turned out to be when the SC majority decides they want to overturn something but until Roe was overturned, Ds weren’t the party running on abortion for the past 20 years.

Pretty odd assertion. LLMs are not "good at speech, bad at abstract thinking".

What do these have to do with speech ?

It doesn't even hold with your example because GPT-4 is pretty good at Math, nowhere near "falling apart".
I also thought your point is to disregard safety measures. Perhaps because your original comment says that the article is ridiculous; and the article, sensationalized or not, advises to “conserve food and water, shelter in a warm space”.

As a self-taught programmer and resident of a town well under 20k pop (most of whom are well out of my age group), i really identify with this. it's helped a bit to learn deeply and engage with others who have done so, and in some ways is an extension of a broader void in my network (or lack there-of). it't influenced the tochnologies i've chosen and hence made me who i am today, but i hope the "zoom-native" generations broadly engage more in open online spaces and feel less of this
