On my recent trip to Iceland, I lost one of my cameras. While I was lucky enough to get recommendations from the r/VisitingIceland community on Reddit to post in a Facebook Group, it made me realize how stressful it can be to lose personal items while traveling, especially when there's no direct way for someone to contact you if they find your belongings.

I thought creating NFC + QR stickers would offer a digital touchpoint, making it convenient and quick for the finder. You can customize the look of the QR code with a background image of your choice without compromising its functionality, and when the stickers are scanned or tapped, lead to a public profile with information you're comfortable sharing. You can customize this profile with any links you want, including your email, phone number, Instagram, or anything else.

It would've been like building the tower of babel with a bunch of raspbery pi zeros. While theoretically possible, practically impossible and not (just) because of laws, but rather because of structural limitations (vector dbs of the internet solves that)

Thats the magic of this technology, its like AWS for highly levered niche intelligence. This arms an entire generation of rebels (entrepreneurs & scientists) to wage a war against big pharma and the FDA.

> What LLMs have made me realize more than anything is that we just don't care that much the information we receive being completely factual.

I find this highly concerning but I feel similar.

Even "smart people" I work with seem to have gulped down the LLM cool aid because it's convenient and it's "cool".

Sometimes I honestly think: "just surrender to it all, believe in all the machine tells you unquestionably, forget the fact checking, it feels good to be ignorant... it will be fine...".

I just can't do it though.
FTA: “In addition to lowering Apple's official repair prices, the repairability improvements should also lower cost […] for people who buy their own parts through Apple's Self Service Repair Store”

If (and that seems likely) the price drop for repairs is because of easier access (= fewer hours billed, higher success rate of repairs), I don’t see how that would make parts cheaper.

Interlocking hempcrete blocks by: JustBiofiber

"Eco-Friendly Construction Breakthrough: Lego-like Hempcrete Blocks That Don't Require Framing
https://www.core77.com/posts/91260/Eco-Friendly-Construction... :

> The benefits of the hempcrete bricks is that they're lightweight (easier to transport), fireproof, serve as natural insulators that also regulate moisture, and they're eco-friendly--hemp plants lock up C02 as they grow. [Carbon sequestion, Nitrogen fixation]

> The downside of hempcrete bricks is that they were not load-bearing, and could only be installed with a framed structure, as shown below. [...]

> However, Canadian company JustBioFiber has managed to eliminate that downside, while also adding an innovation that makes the bricks even easier to assemble into a structure. What they've done is to integrate a proprietary structure hidden within each brick itself, so that they can actually function as load-bearing. "We can currently build 3-4 story buildings, with each project having 3rd party structural engineering signoff," the company claims.
This is funny, because I find it much less cumbersome to type a few search terms into a search engine and explore the links it spits out.
Don't take my word for it, as you all blindly have not.

Take the word 'lie', often mistyped as 'loe'. This is because the o is next to the i. After accidentally typing 'loe', look at what iOS offers to replace it. low, lot, Joe. Soundalikes. This is because iOS autocorrect is skewered towards spoken vocabulary and not commonly mistyped words in english on a typical 1874 Sholes & Glidden qwerty layout. T9 worked because of this distinction. And iOS does not work as consistently because of this distinction.

My 'feeling' is that Apple were very much aware of this from the iOS outset, and not wanting to use T9, offered this poorer auto-correct, and are now riding over the hill shouting 'we've solved it'.

This may not be so for other languages.

It's comforting to think homelessness is caused by people making bad decisions, but it's almost entirely a result of bad public policy. West Virginia has a much higher rate of drug addiction than Portland, but much less homelessness. Because drug addicts in West Virginia can afford housing. Other places have worse access to mental healthcare but less homelessness for the same reason.

Demand in metropolitan areas has drastically outpaced supply. Because zoning laws prevent increasing density and because the government got out of the housing business and put it entirely in the hands of the private market which doesn't like entry level homes because the profit margins are less.

As the cost of housing increases relative to median income homelessness increases. It's basically a control knob.
Honestly it'd probably be better if 3rd party offerings were made of plastic. It's be better than the original.

Glass is such a stupid material for a phone. It makes the device you're supposed to hold slippery AND fragile. But we've somehow ended up in this stupid world where phone reviewers have influenced people into thinking they need "premium" feeling devices rather than practical.
If you’re a “remote worker” per your contract, that shouldn’t be an issue for you… unless your company refused to put that in the contract?

Instead there is "we think 70k is a fair salary (please don't look at our housing market)"... I don't think either of the amounts is reasonable.
Why does everyone assume that if something is open source it must also be free and licensed under permissive license allowing you whatever? Briefly looking at their website I got the impression that it was meant for transparency reasons rather than in the spirit of free and open-source.

Your brain doesn't solely pick the next best word. As best as I understand it, the brain has an external state of the world that constantly updates, paired to an internal model predicting the next best word.

Which is why we can create the counterfactual that "The Cowboys should have won last night" and it has implicit meaning.

Current LLM models don't have an external state of the world, which is why folks like LeCunn are suggesting model architectures like JEPA. Without an external, correcting state of the world, model prediction errors compound almost surely (to use a technical phrase).

> The majority of the pay difference between 2 people with the same job title (assuming standard bigco leveling) comes down to negotiating ability.

No, it comes down to about 1/3 negotiating ability and about 2/3 prior experience, impressions you give at the interview, and leverage (e.g. other offers real or perceived). The first one you can get from the resume and the other two happen over the course of the interview(s).

If your resume shows you as a perfect fit for a position with a ton of relevant hyper-specific experience, you will naturally get an offer higher in the pay band than someone with half the amount of pseudo-relevant experience. Pay bands even $40-50k will help because most people actually do have a decent idea how qualified they are for a given job. I've applied for things where I'd be happy getting an offer toward the bottom of the pay band due to no relevant experience, and applied for things where I knew I should be at the very top.

Recycling plastic requires cleaning it, which uses lots of water and introduces a path for microplastics to enter the environment. Landfills are pretty good at containing waste. I'm not convinced that recycling is better.

I don't like this line of thinking. Climate change isn't caused by population, but by industry, corporations and capitalism. Individuals and their choices are the least impactful pieces when it comes to reducing emissions and the like.
Yes you can wage guerilla warfare for extended periods of time if the conditions are right - i.e. if you have local support of the population, and someone outside is getting you the guns to harass the official administration / occupants.

Now think about whether either of those conditions apply in a particular scenario, then remember you need both. Afghans obviously hated being invaded and helped "their guys", they also had Peshawar.

Is there a desktop client for Bitwarden that isn't Electron-based yet?

I tried this years ago and didn't like it. Not only because Electron, but I thought it was missing a lot of basic features (folders/organizing passwords was sorely lacking).

I'm not looking to try it again, to be clear, just curious. KeepassXC won my heart.

Allowing for 2% bigger resulting file could mean huge speedup in these circumstances even with the same compression routines, seeing these benchmarks of zlib and zlib-ng for different compression levels:

I'm curious if you're using GPT-4 ($)? I find a lot of the criticisms about hallucination come from users who aren't, and my experience with GPT-4 is it's far less likely to make stuff up. Does it know all the answers, certainly not, but it's self-aware enough to say sorry I don't know instead of making a wild guess.
In general or for this specific application (linking primary sources)?

Second-hand, but the best I could find on short notice. The money quote:

> I think this is a just-so story. There's more layers to this onion.

IMHO, all the amount of issues correlated with RTO are far more complex than an onion. I'd rather compare it with a wool cloth, everything is linked tightly with everything, and the tensions that came from Covid have left some parts permanently deformed.
That's a pithy, contrarian slogan, not a statement of fact. "Affordable Housing" is a term of art with a specific definition, and yes, it really exists, all over these United States.

Also, if you want to use it colloquially, then housing is, by definition, affordable for most of the people who live in housing and are not running a spending deficit.
Academia in a certain era, at least in the US, used to acknowledge that it posed several specific difficulties for relationships and families, and addressed them through policies and programs, for example, spousal hiring policies, family housing, university-run childcare, child-friendly working policies, preferential admission and tuition for children of university staff, etc. I was born and raised in academia; for a while, it worked reasonably well. There was the sense that universities often saw themselves as being a bit like villages in that respect. It has been depressing to see how much of that is now gone, seemingly often ostensibly for reasons of fairness.

Of course, before that time, there were also problems, like the embarrassment of refusing to hire Goeppert-Mayer, that may have led to the relationship accommodations in the first place.
It might even be correct. Occasionally.
Acer did the same thing with their "recycled" laptop - I have to ask the same question about how much effort and production process goes into getting that exact fleck effect and completely agree with you, and I feel like companies are still putting in more effort to market about their "green" activities than actual practice.
Ask HN: Do most software engineers get equity (RSUs or stock)?

It's interesting to see some comments here suggesting that people should just export their bitwarden db to keepassxc (due to the VC backing), & then the other side suggesting a closed-source alternative due to better UX. Two distant sides of a spectrum.

I print ASA all the time on my Prusa MK3S. It's the filament I use the most. The printer is not encased, though it's also not in a draughty environment.

I rarely have a warped part, and I've printed from tiny parts to some that would take most of the bed and 10-30cm tall.

Keeping the bed clean is usually enough. For trickier parts I add a brim. I always use a release agent (I prefer a thin layer of talcum powder but glue and others work as well), otherwise it sticks badly and I've damaged more than a couple PEI sheets trying to get them off.
> In the end it's more a financial thing IMO. When you just entered a 10 or 15 year lease right before Covid hit, you're now stuck with paying 7 years for an office you're not even using - that's objectively bad for any company's financials

Amazon is a different beast - as they're more like Walmart and less like Google and Apple.

The rest of the big tech companies people actually want to make at have ~40% profit margins, and <5% of expenses come from office space. If their offices are underutilized by 50% - that's a rounding error.

And beside Microsoft - basically none of the big tech companies have anywhere near enough space.

You've got people make $800k with less space than people who work in universities making $30k.
I read an article a little while ago where someone recounted their academic career in Physics. What really hit home was his retelling of a class in undergrad where his professor (paraphrased here), "What you learn here really isn't physics, and most of you in this class aren't smart enough to learn physics." He got his PhD in physics, so it wasn't just him giving up. Everything I look at seems to add up to that statement across multiple disciplines. We place such an emphasis on academia which really teaches almost nothing useful to a career, etc. to the majority of people. I don't use my degree at all.

fwiw the only piece of AI art that has given me the sense of awe and beauty that art you'd find in a museum gives me was that spiral town image https://twitter.com/MrUgleh/status/1705316060201681313, which is something you couldn't have really made without AI. But that was only interesting because of the unique human generated idea behind it which was the encoding of a geometric pattern within a scene.

Most AI art is just generic garbage that you scroll past immediately and doesn't offer you anything.

We're gonna have to do something to stop the biggest crisis in meaning ever that comes out of this eventually though. Eventually no one will be of any economic value to society. Maybe just put someone in an ultra realistic simulation to give them artificial meaning.

Well, there's your problem.

Good luck starting a business if you lose your entire customer base, reputation and all your employees every two years. Good luck trying to keep your well paid Wall Street job when you're forced to move to Wyoming, or your Silicon Valley job when you're sent to Vermont. Good luck practising law, if you leave the state where you passed the bar.

These policies might have worked in the 1950s when two thirds of women were home-makers, but that's no longer the world we live in.
Good tests < good tests + statistical modelling.

This becomes even more true when you consider there is risk to every test. Some tests have obvious risks (radiation risk from CT scans, chance of damage from spinal fluid tap). Other tests the risk is less obvious (sending you for a blood test and awaiting the results might not be a good idea if that delays treatment for some ailment already pretty certain). In the bigger picture, any test that costs money harms the patient slightly, since someone must pay for the test, and for many the money they spend on extra tests comes out of money they might otherwise spend on gym memberships, better food, or working fewer hours - it is well known that the poor have worse health than the rich.
The purpose of this law is salary transparency, not necessarily on salary equality across positions in the company.

It makes it so that applicants can see what all employers are offering up front, which incentivizes the employers to be more competitive on salary offer if they want applicants to choose to apply there.

Salary equality for equivalent positions within the company, as you're describing it, would require companies to publicly list what each of their existing employees are making, which is a completely different thing than what this law is requiring.

Another aspect is "is the output good enough for what it's meant to do?"

We don't need "originality" or "human creativity" - if a certain AI-generated piece of content does its job, it's "good enough".
I believe that the distinguishing factor between what an LLM and a human brain do to generate the next word is that the human brain expresses intentionality originating from inner states and future expectations. As I type this comment I'm sure one could argue that the biological neural networks in my brain are choosing the next word based on statistical guessing, and that the initial prompt was your initial comment.

What sets my brain apart from an LLM though is that I am not typing this because you asked me to do it, nor because I needed to reply to the first comment I saw. I am typing this because it is a thought that has been in my mind for a while and I am interested in expressing it to other human brains, motivated by a mix of arrogant belief that it is insightful and a wish to see others either agreeing or providing reasonable counterpoints—I have an intention behind it. And, equally relevant, I must make an effort to not elaborate any more on this point because I have the conflicting intention to leave my laptop and do other stuff.
I think the largest range I've seen that wasn't very obviously from some resume harvester or z-tier recruiting firm was $30-40k between the lowest and highest, and it didn't seem to grow all that much as the upper band number increased (e.g. I distinctly remember one that said $180-200k). These $50-500k ranges simply don't happen in reality.
