"I have what is called “aphantasia,” the absence of voluntary imagination of the senses. I know what a top hat is. I can describe its main characteristics. I can even draw an above-average impression of one on a piece of paper for you. But I can’t visualize it mentally. What’s wrong with me?"

How can you draw a thing without visualizing it? Do the coordinates of the vertices appear in your head or instructions about how to move your hand? Or is it like you wake up and suddenly you have a finished painting in front of you with no idea how it got there?
Nah I think it could pass today. What set it apart was there was an equivalent cost chemical to switch to. It would be kind of like if there were a different liquid hydrocarbon than gasoline that cost the same, doesn't emit CO2, and only took minor tweaks to the engine design to switch to.

And now that they aren't taking the tip credit for waitstaff, that money can be combined into a tip pool and shared with the back of the house, who can then have their wages lowered by the expected share of the tip pool. Which could easily be $6.80/hr/waitstaff of savings.

Or, more explicitly, they could make waitstaff tip out the back of the house $6.80 an hour and lower the back of the house wages that explicit amount.

But maybe the back of the house doesn't make enough money to make it up already. I'm not 100% sure of the economics of running a restaurant.

There are some genealogical services out there that do Leeds-Collins charts that to my knowledge work by asking their users for their 23andMe credentials, much like some third party banking services that work by asking their users directly for their banking credentials. There's a lot of really bad security in this sector.

If it wasn't biased the output would just be white noise no matter what the prompt.
I mostly agree with you, but 23andme could have prevented this by requiring 2FA for all accounts, or at least for accounts with an email in the HaveIBeenPwned database.

Credential stuffing is most preventable by the user (who can simply not reuse passwords), but platforms have a responsibility as well. They can at least mitigate it through rate limiting, and mostly stop it with 2FA requirements.

If an attacker is able to exfiltrate millions of records from a platform with credential stuffing, that means they tried to login to multiple millions of accounts. It shouldn't be difficult for a service to detect and stop such a sustained level of load on its login infrastructure. You can't get millions of proxies.

Despite continuously making very unpopular moves, I can't see how Twitter loses its users. In fact, I think it will exist long after usage on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok falters -- because, it is less replaceable and less age-demographic dependent.

I also think that advertisers will return when budgets increase again. There aren't that many other good options.

In the long term, I think it goes nowhere and returns to profitability and a higher valuation.
The new car our hypothetical American is buying in the articles is a whopping $48k. That's an insane amount of money, and you can get a very, very nice new car for half that price. How about the Honda Civic, MSRP $24k?

Two questions spring to mind. What on earth are Americans buying that the median car price is so high? What percentage of Americans can afford a new car if Jalopnik picked an affordable new car?
My issue previously with these prebuilt backends is that you can't tweak it like sdwebui does, but to make our thing work it took a thousand tweaks. Can look into this first to see how customizable it is.

It is censorship. Whether you'd consider it acceptable or not is a different matter, but don't try to duck the important decision you'd have to make about it. Many groups throughout history have thought that silencing people they didn't like was a matter of hygiene—including the Nazis, as a matter of fact. It's an enticing concept, using different standards when it comes to people you hate.

I think both our industry and our information infrastructure would be vastly better if companies were forced to be serious about security when they are collecting and holding private data.
Even that is debatable. My newest car is a 2006 model year. I bought it a couple of years ago. It's perfectly reliable, I paid $4,000 for it.

I think the parent’s logic is the other way around: the rule of law isn’t overwhelmingly relevant in China, so it’s no surprise the VPN law isn’t enforced. You may want to contend if China has the rule of law, but that’s the premise in the parent message, not the conclusion, so you need to use something else to raise objections toward it.
Good. I can take or leave the practice as a customer. I generally tip 20% unless the service is exceptionally good or bad, so it'd work out mostly the same for me if restaurants just raised their prices 20% and got rid of tipping.

But there are a couple of recent developments I absolutely loathe:

1. Mandatory service charges on top of the bill. No, sorry, that's bullshit. If you want to charge more, charge more. Yes, that will make your published price reflect the real cost. That's a feature, not a bug. When I find out I'm at such a place -- usually too late, after I've eaten -- I tip max(0, 20% - service fee). In other words, I apply the service fee toward what I would have tipped. If the servers aren't getting that fee and they quit because their tips suck, that's on the owners.

2. Asking for tips for everything. Earlier this week I went to a shop that sells cakes that're made off-site and shipped in. I asked a cashier for the cake I wanted, she turned around and picked it off a rack and handed it to me, and the checkout terminal asked for a tip. For what? Nothing against the cashier, but I'm offended at the shop for having the nerve to even ask.

I get why employers like tipped positions: they can get away with paying less, guilt tripping customers to make up for low wages with donations. Nah. I'll continue tipping people I would've tipped 5 years ago, like waitstaff, barbers, etc. I'm not going to start tipping every not-traditionally-tipped employee just to cover for their employers.

I just don't think any feature of the language of Kotlin is that much better than Java's implementation. I'm also a big supporter of brevity != clarity when it comes to code.

What language feature in Kotlin do you think is that much better?
Thank you for that. If you are comfortable sharing, would these be the first cost-of-living raises since 2020? Or have they been getting 3%-4% raises the last few years?
Ah, Californian checking in here. In both CA and NV (states I'm familiar with), tipped employees always get the full minimum wage on their check (none of that 'credit' nonsense).

You're still expected to tip.. but you're not going to ruin someone's day tipping $2 at dennys when you're by yourself. Or the usual 15% (which at Dennys is probably $2 anyway lol). (I'm sure people will disagree, but YMMV)

As for price increases: Yea, whenever the minimum wage goes up, some places will use it as an excuse to raise their prices. The actual price does not necessarily correlate with the amount the businesses are trying to raise their prices lol. It's kinda funny to watch that because some franchise owners like McDonalds and Subway have raised their prices so much that their prices are higher than a restaurant or a higher end place like Carls Jr or Five Guys lol.
The climate over the last 10 years haven't felt or been exceptional. The news has certainly been sensational.

It would seem to some that the focus is on servers and mainframes. But the thing is the very same reasons the P10 chip excels in a high-end server apply to massively parallel processing. So I don't see a technological or implementation barrier.
Good! Now for everywhere else, too. That you can legally pay below minimum wage to people working such jobs is a terrible thing for everybody except the business owners who get to underpay people.
They're buying trucks and SUVs. The average non luxury new car purchase in the US is pushing $50k.

Pretty sure it’s illegal according to both FTC and EU guidelines (the not disclosing what is/isn’t an ad).

Can’t imagine this lasts.
They almost certainly will be fired. At every restaurant I’ve worked at, the servers made well above minimum wage. If some server is not getting tipped, then management will assume they are doing a horrible job. And I’m not talking about fancy restaurants, just casual places like Red Robin/Applebees.

Open-Ribbon Discord Server: [join via the github]
QUIC improves on TCP stream windowing/reassembly in two ways:

- as noted by another commenter, you can send multiple streams in a single connection, so a lost packet for one stream does not necessarily affect others.

- QUIC sends ACK as a bitmap instead of a single number (TCP only sends the number of the highest continuous stream byte seen). Senders can see that one packet was lost, but that the packets following were successfully received. For long/fat pipes this prevents the sender from re-transmitting packets following the single lost packet.

The prices don't match the value except as a luxury item. Maybe that was a switch to make cars more profitable?

I see little appeal in a new car. Huge money sink, long waiting lists, sketchy dealers, sketchy warranties, software-based without being run by software companies, and all for what? To be able to travel in an unpleasant, dangerous road system.

Buying these feels more like an obligation to avoid, not something fun and worthwhile. Like checking the mail for bills.
Minimum price on a new Corolla is $23K. New Civic: $24K. Source: just checked the respective websites.

I think you’re largely right, and that current GPT results may over-represent the model’s learning ability.

A couple of speakers from Microsoft at the MPPC 2023 this week indicated that OpenAI’s models were not merely exposed to e.g. poetry, programming, etc. and learned those fields.

Rather they were saying that the model is more of a composite of skills that were specifically trained, building on word identification, sentences, grammar, ultimately moving on to higher order skills.

Perhaps this isn’t a secret (or perhaps I misunderstood), but it means the model’s ability to perform self-directed learning is much less than I previously though.
By "interwar" you mean between the Civil War and WWI? Because it was a movement then. Between WWI and WWII (what I would read "interwar" to mean) the anti-tipping movement receded and tipping became commonplace.
"Because voice calls are classified as a Title II telecommunications service (vs. Title I services like text messages and broadband), carriers can’t and don’t listen in. Specifically, the classification means they can’t filter or block calls based on suspicious content (or, hypothetically, AI audio watermarks)."

This is the catch-22 of privacy: it's great that AT&T can't snoop on my calls, but that means malicious robocall attacks can only be detected and prevents using signals other than content, which makes it tremendously more challenging.

What is absolutely insane about this disease is the Tasmanian devils that have this do NOT have cancer in the way you'd think about. They have an invasive parasite.

So, my understanding (layman who reads about these things), is that, long ago, one particular Tasmanian devil got cancer. This devil bit another and transferred some cells, which grew on the recipient. Note that these cells belong to the original donor. ALL of these cells, on all of the affected devils, genetically belong to the donor. It's literally a separate parasitic life form that reproduces parthenogenetically. Like "Henrietta Lacks", the cells are still alive, long after the original being is gone.

So, none of the recipients cells has cancer. They have someone else's cancer living on them!

If a CPU is being cooled enough to not throttle, it is much more time and energy efficient to use all the cores you can rather than have another core run at a slightly higher frequency.

Higher frequencies have diminishing returns and exponential heat loss.

> The math of health providers is always super sketchy, because they 'donate' their emergency service to the indigent at a non-discounted rate and deduct that from their profits.

This makes no sense. If they are the healthcare provider, then services provided to the indigent go in the expenses column, and revenue is in the revenue column.

And you cannot “deduct” anything from profit, it is literally all revenues minus all expenses. And also Kaiser is a non profit.

You got downvoted but wage stagnation is real, for example:

Also:

After adjusting for inflation, wages are only 10 percent higher in 2017 than they were in 1973, with annual real wage growth just below 0.2 percent. The U.S. economy has experienced long-term real wage stagnation and a persistent lack of economic progress for many workers.

I was wondering if there was a term for this. It is something I noticed a few months ago, when my phone broke at the precise time I had a full blown day-long internet outage at home. I got in my car and started driving around, looking for phone repair places. Asked for some directions. Walked into a pawn shop I normally wouldn't have. All in all it was an enjoyable/novel experience (compared to normal, anyway - I am old enough to remember a time when it was always like this) but definitely turned what should have been a ~30 minute chore to a 3 hour one.
