Years ago I met Jimmy Buffett. I was working at AT&T Labs in Florham Park, NJ and we (or rather, some real audio researchers) had developed a multi-microphone spatial recording rig that we wanted to use for streaming concerts. Buffett was interested in talking to us about streaming music to his Margaritaville locations. The talks went nowhere, but I had the pleasure of giving a demo to Jimmy Buffett -- who was really honestly impressed and picked out subtle details in the recording. The only other thing I remember about the experience was that he flew into New Jersey on his own seaplane (as in, he allegedly did the flying.)
I think CEOs should be looking further down the road and at systemic problems, as well as reacting tactically. Of course the experience of the attendees matters. I have unreasonably high expectations of executive leadership at large companies I guess?
Yes, I hate it too. It's a similar situation with Instagram, where people talk about "visit my Instagram page" and it gets indirectly conflated with the word "website"; it's even worse if it's an e-commerce business, e.g. "visit my Instagram store".

Then the Instagram account gets killed because it's not intended to be used as an eBay, and these naïve business owners didn't know any better.

We are in these times where kids don't grasp the concept of "C:\" drive. They just save all files and don't know what a directory hierarchy is. They conceive Instagram as a web builder, much like Wix.
Part of the answer is climate and geography. It's just meaningfully different south of the US than north of the US for drug production. And this is not limited to just mexico, a lot of non-mexican-produced drugs also traffic through mexico.
Yes, in the particular example presented in the article, the lone `malloc()` will work as expected without the placement new since the class is just being referenced as a blob of memory (i.e., it's equivalent to a simple C struct) and the members are being set individually in `make_rational()`. That said, this territory of C and C++ compatibility can become a footgun really quickly with all types of undefined behavior.

Really? You should end up with "mpy" in your buffer. Maybe your configuration is messed up. Try deleting your .vimrc and try again.
There is no real answer. Maybe you can try to triangulate between these different ideas. The contradition might be superficial.

For example, if you read Neville Goddard, he has a completely different approach to Christianity.
Isn't that the case with everyone Silicon Valley lionizes? People in tech always want to show how much they work for the "good side", when in reality, they're all part of the machine that causes long term societal harm.

I was recently at an event in New York, where they were honoring Kissinger. At least there, no one in the room was playing the part of a saint - everyone knew he was a near equivalent of the devil incarnate, possibly even the old man himself.

It varies by country and agricultural use type (primarily cattle, mainly grain, etc.)

Where I am, the grain district of Western Australia:

ALMOST two-thirds of the farming population in the agricultural area of Western Australia live on farms of 1,000 acres or more in size.

and

The average farm size in WA is approximately 4500 hectares (11,000 acres).

https://library.dpird.wa.gov.au/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=...

https://www.agric.wa.gov.au/sites/gateway/files/Grain%20prod...

Both those statements are true, most farms are greater than 1K acres, and the average size of a grain farm is 11,000 acres.

My neighbour shoots ULR targets at 5,000 yards across his property.

Most of the grain growing here is family dynasty type ownership.

Cattle stations get much much bigger.
Most of the time, although most days I don't carry my backpack at all:

Water Bottle(ClearCut UVC self cleaning, with a Tile tracker on it)

Generic cheap multitool

Claritin, asprin, band aids, flossers, emergency blanket, an Israeli bandage(I randomly do projects with people who seem like they might need one)

iPhone cord(In case I'm working with someone who's holding up the whole project by running out of power and nobody else has one)

Power bank and C cable, USB C to A adapter, car and wall C chargers

Random cheap plasma lighter

Pepper spray

Whatever gear I forgot to take out from the last project I did

Sanitizer

Flashlight(USB-C rechargeable, of course_

SHIELD and Hylian crest patches.

More interestingly, the pack itself is a SOG ninja, which is the only cheap MOLLE bag I could find suitable for everyday use and it's been great.

> And AI is a computer. So the naive expectation would be that it would be capable of doing as well as a computer.

Why would you judge an AI against the expectations of a naive person who doesn't understand capabilities AIs are likely to have?

None of these systems or their training sets have been specifically tailored to tackle abstract reasoning or math, so that seems like a premature conclusion. The fact that they're decent at programming despite that is interesting.
I have not heard working scientists say “Trust the science” as much as “Trust the scientific method”. And that method is precisely the motto of the Royal Society: “Trust no one’s word” (nullius in verba).
This has been drummed into us for the last 100 years with Popper as just an exclamation mark and Feyerabend as a harsh metacritic.

I therefore find the contrast/dialectic in this short essay to be spurious.

The suggestions for solutions at the end are silly both at conceptual and practical levels. Proposing to further fragment science into smaller silos to prevent premature consensus—that made me laugh.

Commonwealth v. Hunt is the legal case which established the right to unions in the US. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_v._Hunt .

The crux of the decision is:

> We think, therefore, that associations may be entered into, the object of which is to adopt measures that may have a tendency to impoverish another, that is, to diminish his gains and profits, and yet so far from being criminal or unlawful, the object may be highly meritorious and public spirited. The legality of such an association will therefore depend upon the means to be used for its accomplishment. If it is to be carried into effect by fair or honorable and lawful means, it is, to say the least, innocent; if by falsehood or force, it may be stamped with the character of conspiracy.

If you use legal methods to form and carry out a union, then it is fine.

The moral right to strike is the same as the moral right to form a company.

Archive.org tells me Commonwealth v. Hunt is not mentioned in the two page appendix essay "There Is No Moral Right to Strike" of "The Coming Aristocracy" at https://archive.org/details/comingaristocrac0000leon_p8i8/pa... .

The argument hinges on a definition that a strike is a "coercion to force unwilling exchange or to inhibit willing exchange", which is a something Commonwealth v. Hunt addressed over a century previous.
Apart from being easy to analyze, why is Python so interesting?
It's a nice-to-play with language, very useful for researchers, but not practical for enterprise code. There are too many ways to do the same thing, not type safe, and I personally don't know many real python pros, the majority are just using python to play with.
Because most company's/people are (AFAIK) under the impression that training on public data will fall under "Fair Use" because it's substantially transformative, in the case that it isn't then you've already agreed to it on github.

It's a fallback clause, "fair use" is irrelevant if you've already given github permission to use it. By adding that clause you can no longer argue that it's not fair use to use the code you put on github after agreeing to their terms.

From the article:

> There's nothing physically impossible about either of those potential formation mechanisms, but both require a series of unlikely events. The Universe is big, and those things probably happen somewhere…

The universe has so many galaxies, with so many stars, with so many planets, that the odds practically demand these outlier results. We should stop being surprised at them.

Astronomers and astrophysicists need a new law of discovery, something like this: “Every possible astrophysical body already exists somewhere in the universe.”

No, it's just targeting a specific group of people with false facts, while not being remotely funny, unless your choice of humor revolves around shitting on users for their OS choice, aka petty tribalism.

Humor is more complex to get right, it needs some punchline or an arc within the context where your initial expectations are subverted, in order to be funny, not just "windows users are like X".
A mix of Vipassana and Zen with a side of Dzogchen philosophy. I’ve found that exploring a few paths has had a kind of triangulation effect that has helped me better understand the core ideas.
After having gone through about a handful of SIP clients, I have to say that baresip is by far the most reliable one I have found. No random breakages. Accounts just work once you have the configuration done. It has some idiosyncrasies in terms of its configuration layout due to how tries to be possibly too modular and wide in scope, but it is still wonderful to use.
I can think of a lot of things currently happening with my tax dollars that I support less than this.

Also, bailout isn’t an accurate term. The government is about to destroy their industry through direct action. Bailout is when the company fails of its own accord and the government steps in. It would be like if the government started making free medical records software and bankrupted the existing companies.

They are assuming that the US would let it get to the point of cartel operating in the States with impunity kidnapping and murdering their way into effectively owning the government. This seems to be predicated by the understanding that the US has met abject failure in its campaign to hold, reform, and dominate perceptively weaker countries. It's true we couldn't dominate Mexico any more than we could dominate Iraq. It would be a deadly waste of blood and treasure that would work out horribly for all. We don't actually have to however.

We could trivially and in short order destroy Mexicos ability to function as a modern nation by destroying power generation, water, farming, roads, bridges, shipping, trains, airplanes. We could deny all large scale transport in or out and keep this up for years for less than the cost of Iraq. There wouldn't be a drug business there any more than there would be any other kind of business once all the engines that enable commerce are silent.

The logical end game for infinite acceleration is maximum violence on both sides. The fantasy described assumes that the cartel is able to accelerate infinitely while the US is stuck in first gear. I think in fact that the US citizenry are far too bloodthirsty for that to be reasonable. More likely far less acceleration on the cartel's side sees join missions between US soldiers and Mexican authorities leading to a shit ton of dead cartel followed by comparative peace leading to disengagement. Ultimately the drug trade returns to normal and nothing is resolved.

Do you? What can you do if they don't keep up with your expectations? For me it seems like a peasant siding with a "executive leadership" without a real reason.
Talk about executable…
The community meetings are an extremely bad idea with no benefit. Basically, planners are embarrassed about Robert Moses doing too much to NYC, so now whenever they have an idea they feel obligated to have a meeting where only people who want to stop it show up.

In LA when Metro doesn't really want to do some transit project they've announced, they just spend all the money on community meetings until it runs out.
Curiously, in Russian the name for a "slide rule" is in fact a "logarithmic rule".

I hear people using it for learning new technical topics, maybe if I get around to actually prioritizing learning math I'll try that, although the tool itself almost seems discouraging, since the AI could one day take the job you're studying for, unless you're so good you can do things AI can't, and I'm not sure just anyone can learn that level of math.

I've also heard people say it's good for learning about history, is it worth investing the time to get good at prompts for that?
Ask HN: I’m perpetually behind and don’t know what to do
I feel like my software career is slowly fading. In my 40s, struggling to keep up. I’m working so many hours just to keep up with what the younger devs seem to get easily. I’m broad, I have too many Jira tasks going at once. I just want to put my head down and get my work done, without being constantly asked.

If I’m honest, under all this I struggle to get out of bed in the morning. I have a technically fun job (at least it would be without all the tech debt and no time to fix it), but it’s in the gambling industry. I don’t feel like my work matters, it’s all very meh. But I need the money to live, so I push past my dissatisfaction because the better jobs don’t pay.

When I get home I have no energy. My home life is suffering and I feel like I’m drowning in my job.

Needing some words of encouragement. What have other people done in my situation?
You say this as if the only way this happens is through a big top down conspiracy. In reality it's several separate actors with aligned incentives that create unnecessary headwinds to the adoption of cost saving medical advances

I've looked at this from a fathers perspective and have made the decision that no matter how much my kids may be a good match I would never want to be a donor recipient from them. That short-circuits a lot of ethical dilemmas around such a decision and making that decision well before it would ever come into play makes it a lot easier. My eldest one day said he'd gladly give up a kidney for me and it caused me to think about that at a time when it wasn't even on the horizon (fortunately it still isn't). That doesn't mean I do not appreciate the sentiment (and that I think you are tremendously brave) but it wouldn't sit right with me as a parent.

A big part of that is that they would be giving up something that they may very well need later in life and I may be condemning them to a reduced quality of life at some point in the future (possibly long after I've passed away but that doesn't really matter). Another part is that I don't want to see my children in any way diminished or at risk because of me, they're not 'spare parts'. On the reverse I would do in a heartbeat. These are tricky problems.
That is so cool! If this had the level of attention IPFS did, I think it could be a lot more useful for the stuff most people actually want.

Generally speaking other countries don't drive highways through the middle of cities nearly as much. It's still happening here - in Seattle and Bakersfield - maybe not for that reason, but still not for a good one, only because we've set a metric that cars need to go as fast as possible and when they don't the solution is more lanes.
