I first asked GPT-4 “james (a boy) has four sisters, and each sister has three brothers. how many brothers does james have?”[0] and it told me 3 brothers. I then asked it to think though step by step and it said 2.

TikTok is not a general search engine, so what this means that they don't perform the kind of searches that people who use Google do.

So a better title would be "51% of Gen Z women mostly search for memes and videos as opposed to information".
> IMO Taylor Swift flying in a private jet isn't that different than, say, OpenAI making a bunch of CO2 for a product that millions of people end up using

I actually chose that example partly because there's an immediately actionable lower-carbon substitute: flying first-class on a normal commercial flight.
Mine are the Canon 10x42. More money than you should really be spending on something nonessential but I swear the effect is mind expanding. Probably cheaper to get a good tripod though.
Something like 4-6 hours a day at 2 mph.
We always called weirs drowning machines too. Even my son knows them as this from an early age, my head instinctly regards them as scary now. There's a lot of them around in the UK.
The classic corporate PPT slide is a disaster of over-information!

There are two kinds of slidedeck. One that's behind you when you're presenting, and one that's shared to be viewed without the presenter. Using either in the wrong situation results in people thinking it's a 'bad powerpoint' that has either too little information because the presenter isn't there to fill in the blanks, or too much because the presenter is just reading it out.
Short-sighted -- Austraila's unique fauna is a huge source of tourism, a considerable part of Australia's GDP. Protecting fauna is as much an economic interest as an envrionmental.

(Why only feral cats, and say, not global warming, is another issue and illustrates where economic interests trump envrionmental ones.)
I think we should address the root problem, which is Jack Nicholson, who convinced everyone that mental hospitals are bad.
I think anything you can mount the computer in a drawer. Not having the case sitting on the floor or on the desk sounds really nice.
I've told my wife for several years that I'm going to make a desk with a hinged top, and every night at midnight a small motor lifts it up until everything slides off onto the floor. That way people wouldn't stack random junk on my desk rather than figuring out where it should really go.
Housing is more or less maxed out with respect to zoning laws in a lot of places. Those come from the government. Rezone to allow higher density and people will build. It is functionally illegal to build more housing.
whoops! thanks
Free public restrooms and other facilities. No homeless. No pollution, clean air and skies. Massive food self sufficiency. I'm not a Kansas fan exactly but I wouldn't balk at calling it advanced in terms of quality of life.
> You are phrasing this as "being on Russia's side means you believe the propaganda" as if that somehow turns it into not a disinformation campaign.

> How can something be disinformation in that mindset? You eliminated the category completely.

Not at all. VoxUkraine state accurately, though as a minor point I would dispute the terminology somewhat, that there is "pro-Ukraine" and "pro-Russia" propaganda. The truth or falsehood of individual pieces of each side's propaganda is a separate matter. As an extension, it's also the case that one side's propaganda may use lies to promote statements that are nonetheless true! If you insist on the "disinformation" label, then I think we often must go into Rumsfeld-ian territory and talk of "true disinformation" and "false disinformation".

So my original point was, statements may be true/false regardless of whether they are part of an evil/enemy/exaggerating propaganda campaign (likewise, statements may be false/true regardless of whether they are part of a propaganda campaign from an ally). I openly acknowledge the propaganda campaigns. I just consider VoxUkraine to be engaging in their own propaganda campaign, and making some false statements. Russia's propaganda campaign makes laughably false statements regularly (their "denazification" justification being one of them).

On the key topic you raise of justification for the war, I want to note that that was not part of the quoted text from VoxUkraine, so I made no argument about justification. I think there was no moral justification for Russia's invasion of Ukraine, certainly none of the ones they presented. Unfortunately, I don't think that lets NATO, etc., off the hook, as you are morally responsible for the predictable consequences of your actions, even if a predictable consequence is an immoral act from another party, but that is a more complicated matter.

And these questions came from VoxUkraine's polling. If you have quibbles with the phraseology, they're not with me.

I could write more to respond to your specific points, but because they seemed to mostly revolve around justification of the invasion and polling phraseology, I'll hold back for now, given my comments above. I also spent a few minutes editing this response for clarity and completeness, but am finished now.
I found paying to use the convenience to be much more common in Germany than in the UK.

It was especially annoying at railway stations and shopping centres, both places which usually have free conveniences in the UK.
more lines of code, and still doesn't have flag parsing
And what do you think happens when that currency level can’t be drawn from the battery? There literally were many reported cases of random reboots.
Super cool! I had a similar idea where I wanted to create such clones of some of my friends (with consent ofc) and see how well they know me.
To extend your clone even more, you can also throw in every piece of digital text you have into this, eg. emails, notes, essays, blogs etc.
I'm super down to work on LLM clones like these!

Say I want to send you assets that I owned. In 2000, I couldn't do that in this comment thread while we both maintained anonymity. 3rd parties would have to be involved like banks, international brokers, etc. They'd be controlled by government regs (KYC laws, for example). You'd probably have to post bank account details or something. Now in 2023 you can post a random string of letters and numbers and I can just send you something valuable. Yay crypto.

These look like technologies so it doesn't just have to be a donation, but we can trade, here and now, with reasonable guarantees that both of us can't run off with the other's asset. Of course, the assets in question are all crypto. UnstoppableSwap I'm familiar with, we could in theory trade bitcoin and monero, right here and now in this comment thread, and it'd be safe enough for us both. The process is still a bit warty.

See https://comit.network/blog/2020/10/06/monero-bitcoin/#long-s... for the protocol.

The single most important piece of information is missing: how long did they stay in the hotel?

Update: 2 weeks according to another site[1]. That seems like a very short time to turn out another 100+ pages of a book...

And how exactly would you solve the root problem of _other cities_ sending their homeless populations to those areas? Make it more miserable to be homeless there so they are forced to go somewhere else?
If they become short term rentals they essentially 'become vacant' (just one example of why an investment property might be 'vacant').

Obviously I'm not suggesting that all do, but some will.

By definition an owner occupier doesn't own a vacant property - only investors do, so the higher the proportion of investors the higher the proportion of underutilised properties.
What is missing from the web framework space is a headless ui components merged with a db layer. Most of these frameworks repeat old patterns. Nothing has been able to break through and give us something truly revolutionary like Rails did.

Web frameworks need to be a visual medium where you can create ui using visual tools and the "backend" side of things merge seamlessly.
Isn’t the real problem the lack of monads and monad transformers so you can’t have async machinery used for domain specific stuff?
Also, it gives them more reason to collect more information which they love. And it ties in nicely with their idea of "trusted" devices and browsers which ban things like adblockers
If we can’t have a discussion without people accusing others of being racist or xenophobic instead of refuting their arguments with data and concrete analysis, then we can’t have a discussion at all.

And yes, the majority (and growing) in this case would be called racist and xenophobic, because they have not been shown a single fact that runs counter to their argument. Not even an attempt. And you know what? They’re probably right.
When it comes to load balancing, I think the hcloud-cloud-controller-manager[1] is probably your best bet, and although I haven't tested it, I'm sure it can be coerced into some kind of working configuration with the vSwitch/Cloud Network coupling, even if none of cluster nodes are actually Cloud-based.

I haven't used Sidero Omni yet, but if it's as well architected as Talos is, I'm sure it's an excellent solution. It still leaves open the question of ordering and provisioning the servers themselves. For simpler use-cases it wouldn't be too difficult to hack together a script to interact with the Hetzner Robot API to achieve this goal, but if I wanted any level of robustness, and if you'll excuse the shameless plug, I think I'd write a custom operator in Rust using my hrobot-rs[2] library :)

As far as the hard-coded IP addresses goes, I think I would simply move that one rule into a separate ClusterWideNetworkPolicy which is created per-node during onboarding and deleted again after. The hard-coded IP addresses are only used before the node is joined to the cluster, so technically the rule becomes obsoleted by the generic "remote-node" one immediately after joining the cluster.[3]

So the glaciers are melting because extra energy (heat) is being added to the system (well, not being radiated into space). Once the glaciers are gone, that extra heat will be absorbed by... what exactly?

I'm a bit frighted by what I think the answer is.
This is just scratching the surface, if that.

Just the previous weekend I heard a guy I knew talk about how he was in the stands at a women't ITF tournament match in a middle-sized city here in Romania.

The "stands" is a big word according to him, there were the two players on the field, their respective coaches and a fence-like structure which separated this guy, one of the couple of spectators there, from the match itself. He was telling us how he could bet during the match for "esoteric" things like what player was going to break next and things like that, and that he made a nice chunk of money betting that the match was going to be a succession of break games. He was also telling us how both of the coaches were also on their phones throughout the match, most probably not to instant message or to post on social media.

Online sports betting has ruined sports.
At this point it seems cheaper to go about solving the upstream problems.
> The RSPB themselves have said.....there’s no evidence this is affecting decline

The RSPB know which side their bread is buttered. They are a charity who get their donations from "animal lovers", inducing cat 'owners'. They certainly won't say anything which might prejudice this source of income.

> It's odd to me that there's such a contrast between attitudes towards cats roaming in Europe

Plenty of people here in Blighty despise roaming cats leaving turds in their gardens and killing the local wildlife.
Ironically it looks like I can read the document by having an actual bot fetch it for me.

If I was a UK citizen I'd be pissed though (in the sense of being angry, not intoxicated). Everyone should be able to read the laws that their government is trying to pass.
In response to your second point, at a high level I believe the calculation device would exist inside _one_ universe but calculate another one... the idea that you could calculate your own universe and use that to predict future events does seem covered in paradoxes. For one, the universe you're predicting would (recursively) have to include the computer you're using to predict it.

... but that's different to what I've argued here. I'm not claiming the states are physical objects, but just the existing of the pattern, even if temporary or intangible, would feel real to the humans/actors inside it.

It is funny because people always pitch it in threads about investors. Investors are who will build more housing if zoning laws are changed. An LVT basically encourages investment in the land.

I am in favor of this but it doesn't stick it to who everyone is complaining about here, it benefits them.

Very helpful feedback. Thank you for that.

By the way, many have reached out asking about an echo chess community for future updates or feedback/discussions. I'm considering setting up a discord server for that.

It's interesting to see this show up here and now on HN. It's as if an occult hand had reached down and planted this here for us to find.

Weird.
Now I’m really interested in finding out what the new stealth phrase was, and if it’s still in circulation.

I do feel like there must have been some secret agreement recently by tech bloggers to overuse and misuse “enshittification”…

It’s a shame that so many links on the Wikipedia Occult Hand page are dead, for someone like me who wants to read about it some more. It’s almost as if…

Sure. If you can convince her, awesome :)

But that same logic can apply for many people and our lifestyles... why not take the train across the country instead of flying? Why not arrange carpools to/from work, or take the bus and subway? Why not stop eating meat? Ride your bike more often? Turn up the AC by 5 degrees? It's just a losing battle... imo we're genetically disinclined to do things that may vaguely benefit the species as a whole over a period of 20 years when the alternative benefits ourselves in the here and now. Maybe we celebrate that sort of altruism precisely because it's so rare and difficult for most people to do.

That's why I think steering the market towards better alternatives using a not-so-invisible hand works better than trying to coerce (or even convince) people into behavior change.
Lots of comments and arguments about async being big or complex, and it's really not, it's pulling in the runtimes that's big and complex, and I think Rust really failed by forcing libraries to explicitly choose a runtime. As a library developer you're then put in the position of not using async, or fragmenting yourself to just the subset of users or other libraries on your runtime.
Anyone have some insight into why RISC-V seems to be getting traction?

Has there not been prior attempts to make an open source cpu?

Is there a lot of skill in making the ISA? It seems to me (naively) that most talented EE students could probably come up with their own ISA, or is there some "magic" in the RISC-V one?

I assume that there are a reference implementations in VHDL/Verilog and Cadence and good support in compilers. Is this what pushed through, where others failed?
I'd let supabase handle auth ++ db and use a "supabase edge scheduled function" to execute your script.
Big discussion of this topic (which already has this document linked as its top comment): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37444340
I agree that the lower coefficient of friction of steel on steel leads to less favorable maximum speeds for trains when applying the otherwise uncontroversial standard of possibly needing to stop at an uncontrolled crossing. I don't see what the amount of mass has to do with anything though. Like we don't condone SUVs or tractor-trailers ignoring red lights just because they're heavier and require more fuel to get back up to speed.

I'd say the problem with simply saying that uncontrolled railway crossings should be banned is that railroads will understandably say that it will take time to comply, and then stonewall for decades because of funding/whatever. Whereas the standard of liability can be changed atomically after some notice period, and if the railroads haven't upgraded their crossings to be able to maintain the speeds they'd like, that's on them.

Also the framing is different. Prohibiting certain types of crossings is creating new regulation, whereas removing the unjust liability shield is fixing traditional corruption.
Yup. It would reduce supply significantly, and frequency they show up for sure. But as I noted in another reply, Europe is about as restrictive as it comes and you still end up with things like [https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66059738.amp].

From what I read, this is an oversimplification to the point where it removes agency from Native Americans and make the whole topic inherently biased.
Anecdotally I’ve ordered many little household and garden products like microtape, cups, planter beds etc and never once been disappointed. In virtually every instance I could find the exact SKU on Amazon for 4x the price, so it’s a little bit funny seeing people suggest “reputable online stores” because for a lot of people that will in practice just mean “pay the relatively very high Amazon fee in exchange for quicker shipping”

I like the first days after a full moon, the shadows where the moon goes dark are just great around the craters. Much more definition than on a full moon, IMHO.

That the Blue Moon hid behind clouds is nothing I miss, after all it would just have been for the "saw it, took a photo" bucket. If those milky way shots woild have been impossible, that would have been worse!

Isn't that the fun so, woeking aroind weather outdoors? So much around us is olanned and scheduled, it is nice every once in a while to have natural ransomness in live.
I have a couple family members who jumped on the Temu band wagon. I've even been so lucky as to receive a couple random items as "gifts".
