It sounds nice in theory and in legal words, but in practice it's very hard to control that it works and that everyone follows this.

You can just think of how complex it is from a technical perspective to implement this. Sync all those systems, databases and vendors if a user on my website deletes his data or account. And in case one of those vendors or sub vendors fail to delete (let's say their API responds with an error or I had implemented it wrong or it stopped working due to an API change). It gets hairy quite fast.
I think it’s funny. So, too bad. Don't be such a neghead. Just say it out loud, man. Ruper Murdouk. And handshakle. lol…it’s fucking hilarious.

And selecting the pages you visit. I have yet to see ads on HN, Wikipedia and similar :) Yes, I do visit pages with few ads. But tye worst offenders are on my mental black list. I just don't visit them. And I pay for ad-free versions of what I really find worth paying for (Unfortunately that's still not offered widely enough, and sometimes a yearly subscription seems overhead. I mean in the old days people bought a magazine or journal at the station just because the felt like reading it occasionally. But now in our great internet this is typically not possible.)
More than just office space, it is about the tax kick-backs that Amazon (and presumably their peers) have extracted from cities where their major offices are built. The cities offered the tax cuts or rebates to the company on the expectation that wealthy tech commuters would be forthcoming. Much like how Amazon has its cake and eats it via advertising revenue from its marketplace sellers, these companies have found a secondary revenue stream from their employees.
I haven't heard the term before either, but it's mentioned at least by Google too so not entirely unheard of in the multimodal training context. Even so I also think this could have been conveyed without using that term. Two towers and even twin towers as seen in some places sounds exceedingly marketingy. But as others have pointed out, this may have been a popular term in recommendation systems before the rise of deep learning multimodality.

Don’t use it as your main mailbox, though. There are glitches sometimes. It works well for a recovery e-Mail account imho.
...even if the corpus is small, I think it's time to start training an LLM on these chats. I need to ask these aliens from Dimension Apple: what are their deepest thoughts and desires? Why do they do nothing by go on trips every weekend? Why are they the way they are?
This works fine as long as you’re happy to do the same task multiple times. I.e. the task is idempotent and cheap.
It feels like an ethical low risk kind of pirating.

It's not an error, it's 25% in one direction and 33% in the other. I think what he meant is that he should have tweeted the bigger number, for clickbait.

> Among youth with type 2 diabetes ... Sociodemographics and, additionally, mean body mass index, fasting and random glucose, and HbA1c levels were not different from 2016 to 2021.

They're talking about these values in the diabetic population, not youth in general. They are simply saying there are more diabetics, but they have similar characteristics as pre-pandemic diabetics. This is expected.
That’s exactly right. And this is not just a “mental anguish” or “skill issue”.

It’s a fundamental issue:

Hierarchical naming and categorization sucks.

In 95% of the cases, you want sets or even graphs rather than trees.

You _might_ be getting away with trees, because you didn’t encounter a case where the hierarchy breaks. But you’re being fooled by happenstance.

In the 5% of cases where trees are fine, you could also use sets or graphs.

This issue comes up all the time with all sorts of things, including urls and file structure.

The trick is to have a general “/type/name” format and to be as liberal and general as possible with what “type” means.
Such a flame bait hot take. While you are right in a vacuum, it is completely off topic: if this was a growing market, like the person you are replying to was saying, Netflix would give a rat's arse about ecology and happily ship its plastic.
Primarily because it's hard to tell whether it's an ad or not.

Streaming video is completely controlled and customers have to hunt down each specific movie - if available - from specific streaming services.

Meanwhile DVDs are relatively democratic and unencumbered way of distributing video. Netflix can make any movie available via dvd without licensing or asking permission.

I found it to be a very good way of getting high quality movies from the largest selection.

But your complaint seems to sidestep all this, sort of like complaining that paper money wastes so many unneeded trees without acknowledging the huge benefits.
I agree it’s awful, but I very much disagree that people are doing it “less” — think of the chat apps. I think more text passes between more humans on iOS/Android than ever before in the history of humanity.

It’s probably a pain, but a familiar one, and you mostly tune it out.
Nice, I've been using spek for non-realtime recording checks.

Ffmpeg's multimedia filters can go a long way for visual feedback on live audio. I've been usingffmpeg CLI commands that record audio/video while also displaying a preview with audio overlay for monitoring.
Only if you deprive someone who was using from continuing to do so, or perhaps ruin the local ecology in so doing.
Neither of those things would be a basis for something like a search warrant because the threat is not specific and credible. It's not a crime to say, "Hey, let's shoot some cops". It would be a crime to say, "Hey, let's hang out in front of the local police station and shoot some cops tomorrow morning. Bring your guns."
On the other hand you had more free time, because there was no commute. My fitness went UP due to homeoofice and lockdowns. I also started to eat healthier, simply because I had more and easier control over what I eat.

We can talk about how more than 98% of the entire population of Australia happily took two to three COVID vaccinations over the course of the past two years or so and there's been no significant increase in morbidity and mortality statistics compared to before.

We can talk about how Australia has some internationally acclaimed epidemiologists who have been trawling the statistics here for the past 40 years, publishing ground breaking work on folate for infants, SIDS, disease studies, etc. and yet have (at least according to your premise) utterly failed to identify any better health outcomes for the unvaccinated Vs the vaccinated in four decades of data on flu outcomes.

Exactly what kind of numbers are you expecting to see in an island population of 22+ million over four decades?

> it was really difficult to travel anywhere except maybe between neighboring countries.

Yet most of the inhabitants of the United States are descended from people who immigrated during the time period you're talking about. Why was it ok for them but not for people immigrating today?

> Do you want criminals from other countries coming to your country?

Do you want criminals from other towns/counties/states coming to yours? No, but that doesn't justify banning everyone from coming to your town. The normal standard is that to stop someone on the basis that they might be a criminal, law enforcement has to have some reasonable cause for suspicion. But for some reason, in the case of national borders (and not state, province, etc), the burden of proof is reversed. Everyone is guilty by default and has to prove to the state's satisfaction that they aren't dangerous. Why? If open borders work between Washington and Oregon, why don't they work between Washington and Canada?

> We also have the issue of economic migrants. No country really wants to be inundated with millions of poor people from some other country; in the era of modern social services, countries don't have the resources to provide for them.

Immigrants pay taxes, and the state doesn't need to pay for their education. It's not clear that the mean additional immigrant under an open-borders policy would have a higher net cost to the state than a native citizen. But whatever, let's just assume they would. Instead of banning them, why not just let them come but make them ineligible for social services? That's cruel, but it's way crueler to not even offer them that.
If you walk the footsteps of a stranger you will learn the things you never knew, you never knew. I certainly respect your attitude but a bit of interest in the unknown and bit of kindness can bring you a lot in life. But of course, you have the right to close yourself to unknown people. It is a thing of these times. Close yourself from others, open up to the toiletscroller, it's easier, more instant reward.

What would really help is making it illegal for companies to deny remote work (except for jobs where physical presence is obviously needed). That way many people wouldn’t have to commute, and those who do could travel much faster with less cars on the roads. And we could all breathe cleaner air and suffer less global warming. That we continue to commute to office jobs is grotesque and evil.

Then I think what you actually care about is scheduling fairness, and a strict ordering of execution of job 5 after job 4 is unimportant.
shrug Different people have different priorities. They're judging you just as harshly for not caring more about the economy or socially relevent-for-them news. I'm glad someone's engaged with the economy and politics more than I, those things are important, and there are only so many hours in the day to doom scroll.
Again, you're thinking human centric. Maybe they could do amazing things with non metallic materials which we haven't needed or which haven't been practical for us due to the different circumstances.
building is great but most developers don't understand the value of marketing till they ask people to pay for their projects like SaaS etc... I've made some good money in writing in the last 3 years but without marketing it was highly impossible that's why I always encourage to people to start writing be it a tweet, LinkedIn or newsletter etc... and it's again a huge task along with building your products that's why it looks easy from outside but needs more work inside. but before going I've learned from Daniel a lot of things about marketing. Maybe this is useful. Take a look.

A 12 step marketing crash course for non-marketers:

1. If you're trying to sell something, everything you do is marketing.

2. The technical term for trying to sell something is a go-to-market (GTM) strategy.

3. Building a product is part of your GTM strategy.

4. Your combination of skills, knowledge, experience, reputation, assets, connections, etc, create opportunities for you in the market.

5. Once you find an opportunity you'd like to pursue, you should set a payoff expectation. Example: you plan to bring a particular project to market with the expectation of making $100K within 12mo.

6. You should have a viable hypothesis of how that expectation can be realized. Example: to make $100K selling a $100 product, you need 1,000 customers. To get 1,000 customers at 1% conversion you need 100K visits on your landing page. To get 100K visits you need to spend X on ads. And so on.

7. If you can't convince yourself you have a viable and profitable hypothesis, you need to adjust your payoff expectation, or pick another opportunity. You don't have an obligation to pursue every opportunity you encounter.

8. If your payoff expectation is too small for the time and money you're investing to bring your project to market, you should abandon it.

9. If the worst case scenario of your GTM strategy has a chance to put you out of business (by running out of time, money, motivation, etc), you should abandon it. Take risks, but never put yourself at risk.

10. Once you have a project on the market, you have the option (but not the obligation) to improve that project by repeating steps 5-9 on the same project. Every new feature is a new thing you're brining to market.

11. A business with no attention is a business that doesn't exist. You can have the best product in the world, but if nobody knows about it, it's like multiplying by zero — a recipe for failure.

12. Remember: there is no distinction between building and marketing. You build whatever you need to build to realize your payoff expectation. Everything is marketing.
Great resource and the community around the site are equally fantastic. I went on spree and contributed most of the WonderSwan[1] and WonderSwan Color[2] content a few years ago. Many titles in the catalog were developed with a handful of engines and a few yara[3] rules made easy pickings.

It's no more insane than async programming. In fact, it's less insane: it's what you'd get if you let async and await be first-class citizens in your language instead of awkward special cases.

Rrdtool is still my go-to for a lot of things. The only functionality I would like to have from it is an SVG version of the charts that allowed for panning and zooming into particular points in the past.
You probably just need to change the settings to battery saver - no restrictions for Element. Your OS is probably killing the app aggressively (I've seen this with telegram a lot as well with many people).

So far. I'm sure someone is going to figure out how to engineer viable tooth buds for adults.

And as for "just for children" ... I had no idea how significant pediatric dental specialties were until my daughter fell out of a pickup truck onto the curb broke her two front teeth at the age of 3. Luckily her adult teeth grew in appropriately, but she still needs braces to fix the spacing in her smile that the injury left. It's been over a decade and I still feel terrible.
This is such a nice story and congratulations Tony. I've seen your journey from the start and always get inspiration. Good luck for the future.

One quick question- Any 2 tips you would like to give to others on "How you did marketing about your projects" I know you tweeted, sent newsletters etc.... but anything else like SEO or hiring any marketers?
This is not generally required when travelling between Schengen countries. National governments may introduce immigration checks within Schengen, and in recent years have sometimes done so for particular reasons e.g. during Covid lockdowns or due to a sharp increase in refugees/asylum seekers. But these are short-lived and it is not the norm.

Indeed, the interchanges can be quite arduous, as it tends to be very deep, and usually quite a trek from the other lines in that station. This also means it can take a good chunk of time to even get to or from the platform.

For example, if you wanted to go from Farringdon to Liverpool St, Google Maps would suggest using the Elizabeth line, but, in practice, it's usually better to use the sub-surface lines (Metropolitan etc). The time taken for the extra stops will be cancelled out because the Elizabeth line takes significantly longer to get into/out of of as it's so much deeper. Add another couple of minutes if you happen to get on the wrong end of the train, because those platforms are long!

That being said, it's a joy to ride and is the only air-conditioned train that runs through the central section of London.
Marriage is also a protection against inbreeding because your family/community gets to pick someone who isn't too related to you.

Or if they decide to care about the inheritance more, they do the opposite and you get the Habsburgs. (And, for some reason, British Pakistanis.)

Tell HN: How would you solve my telecom problem?
My fiancée is in one of the foreign services black sites and has no telephone access. She gets my mail and can read it but when she goes home my mail doesn't go home with her. If I send her my number she can't take it out of the site.

I would like to figure out how to have her call me from home from her own phone without breaking any sort of security. I've established that we are allowed to date or get married, the relationship itself isn't an issue and she is allowed to call me. But breaking security would be an issue.

How would you solve this telecom problem?
The joke is I have gigabit fibre (Sydney CBD), but it's $329/month for 1000/400.
"how come"

Where is your research paper?

Why do you only state your research as a hn comment?
Is it simply "eat less" when 40% of a country's population is obese? Are the hundreds of millions "just" stupid, lazy and neglectful? After reaching those historical highs, we should be beyond the casual victim-blaming phase. It's obvious it doesn't lead us nowhere productive and it's just a way to dodge researching/fixing the underlaying issues.

About 15 years ago, in the era of dumbphones, I read an article in the news paper that in Japan's top 10 novels, 7 of them were written on a mobile phone.

It appeared as if writing and text editing (writing a novel is a lot of editing) for mobile phones was solved for Japanese, and it was a matter of time until it would arrive in Latin scripts.

Still waiting for that future. I wonder if things in Japane regressed too?

> It started as a brainstorm between Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph, successful businessmen looking to reinvent the DVD rental business.

It definitely did not. Reed always had the online streaming business as main goal, but internet was not as fast yet.

He cites Andrew Tanenbaum’s Networking book as inspiration. There’s a page in the book that says “don’t underestimate the bandwidth of a truck full of data tapes”.
