You are right. Clearer instructions will be added.

This v0.1 and consider it alpha. A lot of stuff is broken.

The current build just needs 512MB RAM and an x86_64 CPU.

The ISO can be downloaded from the releases here:https://github.com/trholding/llama2.c/releases/tag/L2E_OS_v0...

Currently it doesn't do much useful stuff except for stories.

You could etch the ISO to pendrive and boot on real system or you could run it in qemu/VM too:

qemu-system-x86_64 -display gtk,zoom-to-fit=off -m 512 -accel kvm -vga virtio -cdrom l2eos.iso

There is a known issue that for some it does not work on Virtual Box. All that will be fixed in future versions.

There are also easter eggs and a hidden game of DOOM (Freedom)

Oh boy, I'm planning to write something around Reddit testing for mobile app and web app. I'm sick and tired of their testing and horrible dark UX pattern.

* Screen take over to force push notifications so I can view my own notification!!!!!! (Mobile)

* Removing notification alert from homepage (Mobile web)

If you want a lesson in dark UX patterns and poor testing...just visit Reddit
Yeah, so no union often turns out better for me because I ask for more.
I had this idea but never executed because it's only bitter cold outside for about 3 months out of the year. And then I'd basically be doing a semi-annual detachment/attachment of my PC from the wall and probably removing/adding an insert from a window for the other end of the loop.

This combined with my roughly 4 month itch to rearrange my office made it seem like much more of a pain in the ass than it was worth to ever actually do.
I was expecting a mention of how DEC Video Terminal hardware terminal inline escape sequences are still very relevant as a de facto terminal standard.

It's a good bet, because either you're right or it won't matter.
> America has cheaper housing, food and durables with higher wages than middle income in Western Europe

But off the roof expenses for anything else, so in the end it evens out or even comes at an advantage for Europe.

This is a ridiculous thing to say. there are plenty of wonderful native apps on Android
Every place I've ever worked before, the first people laid off were always the remote people. Working remote, to me, is being layoff bait.
EMV is a completely different protocol, though! You wouldn't use a vulnerability discovered in TLS (or its implementation in OpenSSL) as an example for why SSH/OpenSSH is an insecure protocol, would you?

A smartcard is in the end just a general purpose computer (with some physical hardening and a really weird and poorly layered protocol stack that costs hundreds of CHF to even read; thank you, ISO!) – it can be just as secure or insecure as any computer system.

> Is this scheme vulnerable to that? Unknown.

Yes, but you sprinkle your comment with just enough domain language to make it seem like you have a concrete security concern for the scheme presented in the article.

I'd consider that pretty misleading, especially in the context of trying to make a point on policy, as opposed to security ("significant policy consequences", as you say).

Are you saying they wouldn't have recognized the star pattern or the actual "Scorpio"?

Because it seems trivial for a culture to identify a similar pattern of closely grouped stars they could use for navigation, correct? This is why I don't think I understand what you're saying.

Spotify is something that I'll pay for, forever - even in my grave. The thing is it's an absolutely horrible service, with a rubbish application, amazingly across all platforms.

But their catalogue is incredible. I keep trying to use alternatives, and they're not even close - especially when you listen to music in multiple non English geographies and languages. Their cross-language algorithmic suggestions have also been (shockingly) on point, and improving. But lord, their applications are beyond horrible.
Such a breath of fresh air to read this. I choose to work remote and only look at companies that do that.

My first was Canonical.
Since then I worked at a startup and when they went office first, I left even though I had not fully vested. I choose life over career and its a tough choice at times but I’m happy with it :)
Yup this is nonsense advice. I will say in most cases, it seems around the same. I highly suspect most hotels aren't prepared to negotiate over the phone.

As I said elsewhere, the hotel's support can be even worse, and amount to them basically robbing you.

You are always going to have a minority like this, but they are a minority. The data shows unions are better for most others. Get while the going is good or something like that. I'm sure there's room for highly paid consultants in a more organized future, with better wages and stronger labor protections for FTEs.
Signs of undeclared ChatGPT use in papers mounting
It's starting to change, though. In fact, it's very frustrating that the french government keeps delegating projects to SSII consultants long after it's built up its own very competent open-source-friendly developer workforce.
That is true, but it hits developing countries more.

Compare USA, UK, France (which are past the demographic transition and are having pretty decent demographic structure) with China, Korea, Japan (which are at various stages of that transition and are around or sub 1.0 growth (2.1 is replacement level) and almost no immigration).

China and Korea will have it much worse than any European country did (in EU the worst countries are around 1.3 and it's caused by in-EU migrations as well as demographic transition - so the missing .3 from Baltic countries or Poland is reproducing in UK, Ireland or Germany).

gov.uk is not a monolith, different departments can make different decisions. There is no mandate for AWS containers or Fastly CDN.
I started my first comment with "If you want to make the point that the US is communist", implying that that was what I was addressing. I think that the argument still holds. That is independent on how comparatively worse or better things are in China. Because we can look at the US in isolation and still find better examples.
The poster claimed panicing is rational, the other poster responded (correctly) that it's an emotion and therefore is not, definitionally, rational.

reasonable != rational.

But here's the thing.

If your house is on fire, do you want a firefighter who is panicing or one who isn't? panicing may be reasonable, but that doesn't make it the best course of action.
For enough money the customer can get anything they want. I've been on the buy side at a stodgy financial services company and this offer came up frequently enough.
Exactly. Actually many people in trade jobs (construction, hairdressers, etc) additionally work in illegal employment (or do paid "favors" for acquaintances), at least speaking from my experience as a German in Germany.

This usually has to do with those jobs being too badly paid to attract enough people to do all the available work as well as those jobs not paying a sufficiently livable wage and welfare being tied to unemployment or fully deducting any income 1-to-1. A naive solution would be converting welfare to something of a reverse income tax (so e.g. for every €2 you earn your welfare would be reduced by €1 rather than €2, down to zero, and no income tax would be paid on any income up to 2x of welfare). But politicians seem to be more interested in squeezing welfare recipients harder because they think people who aren't working (legally) must be punished until they start working - nevermind that some of those welfare recipients are not part of the work force due to age or legal status and thus can't legally work.
I’m very certain that the curved lines are streamlines.

The black arrow is labeled “Free stream velocity” meaning that, in absence of any perturbation, that is the direction that the air would freely follow. I.e. it would go in a straight line.

There is a mention of flow turning as the source of lift here [0] but the page you mention is taking the more mathematical approach of defining lift as the integration of pressure over the wing area.

I agree that the diagram could be better, most aerodynamics textbook diagrams could be :)

EDIT: I just reread the page with a bit more time and I have to disagree, it’s a very good explanation of lift, although it is a bit more technical than a layman’s. I can’t see anything obviously wrong with it, except that it doesn’t mention more advanced topics (e.g. turbulence).
Not to argue either way, but this can happen in meetings behind closed doors while in the office. Anyone can say anything while not present even if in the office.

I think it is more productive to do a good job. If someone says false things and decision makers takes them at face value there is some other problems at an organization.
Not sure that is a good metric. For one, anyone working fewer hours is going to do the high priority things in those hours, and have a higher productivity as a result.
Companies need branding because they're trying to stand out from the crowd. To be distinctive and memorable, so you think of them and trust them when making buying decisions.

Governments generally don't have that requirement. So GDS doesn't need fancy branding and other concerns can take priority. It's remarkably refreshing.

It would have been so easy to just cargo-cult whatever is fashionable in the private sector. It's kinda miraculous they didn't. A mark of thoughtful, self-confident professionals. Bravo!
It is revealing how everyone implicitly agrees that there will be another large wave of layoffs.
> people admitted they were slacking off more frequently while remote

Honestly, I think people didn't realize just how much they slacked off while in the office. It was just a lot less fun and a lot less free.

Over a long period, I can sustain about 3-5 hours of truly hard productive work per workday. I can grind out an all-nighter once in a while; I can do an isolated back-to-back 10-12 hour day, but I can't sustain 8 hours of actual, hard nose-to-grindstone work per day on average (and I'm not ashamed to admit it).

In the office, this looked like dicking off with co-workers. At home, it looks like throwing in a load of laundry or taking the dog for a 20 minute walk. Those "feel" much better (because they are) and that feeling better I think people report as a form of guilt that they're slacking off more.

Talking to your co-worker about the TV show you both follow or the local sports team is every bit as much slacking off; it just doesn't engender any feeling of guilt.

There was actually a lot of pushback against the austere aesthetic by government ministers - they wanted fancy looking photo banners and pretty things. This was pushed back on in the name of making something functional the prioritizes users.
Literally five minutes ago, I opened Spotify to start my music. I see "Your settings are located here" pointing to my profile. I went "...cool?" and tried to dismiss it, as it was covering up the first Likes Playlist I wanted to go to.

Spent 10 seconds waiting for it to go away, followed by a few more just to dismiss it (you can't), just to have to go all the way into settings and back out just to play my music.

Wild.
This is because civil rights are a Western ideology. They certainly didn't come from ISIS' views on women. Nor from Russia and China, who supported them.

Snowden defected to Russia, see above about supporting ISIS.
Assange and Manning's exposure literally cost the lives of Afghan families who were working against AQ, another regime that openly oppresses its people's civil rights.

I think you might need to have a hard look at what you think peace is.

So far, the most civil rights a person can experience is under Western governance, flawed as it is.
I think the chance is fairly high. Remember, compelled attrition by making doesn't have to be announced as a layoff. Hence the MS salary freezes.
> We can either choose to open the doors willingly or they are going to be blown open.

I'm afraid the reality is likely to be that once the doors are blown open, electorates will vote for people that will man them with machine guns
Why do they sound horrible? This is a serious, non provocative question. :)

I personally loved working for Google. Low workload, great work-life balance, amazing perks, mind blowing salary, potential to do really cool stuff that hundreds of millions will use, doing really cutting edge things that almost noone else can do, ridiculously good internal infrastructure and tooling so I can focus just on my tasks, kind and friendly colleagues, nice offices. Everything about my day job and things I worked on (at Google Research) was great.

I disapprove of many other things company does, but they were completely separate from my work.

I have many friends at Meta, company I disapprove way more - but their sentiment is exactly the same.

These tech companies were never well optimized for such a drastic increase in remote worker. All of their structures, managers, and the way they work rely heavily on in person meeting. I think with companies like that you really do have less job security. There's studies that managers feel remote workers are doing less work because they can't see them working. There is also the problem that there's much less personal distance between you and the manager so its much easier to just fire you. If it even feels like firing a person to them or a face on a screen. That's up to you to decide.

I do think the data shows that people are happier and more productive when they can work remotely. It means less time commuting, less distractions, and reduced cost having to pay for buildings that remain empty at night. It seems like the benefits are numerous but I get why the arrangement doesn't work for every company.
Definitely mitigates it. For me though it’s still an annoyance
It's a static file manually written (and slightly post processed).
That's far worse than the gitlab incident.
Thanks for your insight. I can understand why depracation can go down a certain amount (second hand resale market value demonstrated that etc) but going all the way to zero? like even beyond scrap value (for a ship)? It seems that its not uncommon for people to be able to deduct things that far while still demonstrably making income with them elsewhere on the books.

For example a residential property depracated entirely for 1/27.5 its value every year for 27.5 years, but still being rented out after that period. Presumably it can no longer be deducted from tax, but the accounting idea is that the house has degraded to being worthless but is demonstrably not?
AUM = deposits + returns. Maybe they had a lot of interest but haven't been able to do much with the money.
Yes. After a couple of years in the US I returned to Europe, specifically one of the smaller poorer western European countries. The first thing that struck me, quite viscerally, was that nobody was afraid. And why should they be?
Apple’s Music is not that good (and less clients than spotify) but it’s the one I chose just because of being centered around albums and a deterministic interface. Library management is hellish on spotify
Doesn't this apply even more to Apple devices? I'm not complaining, rather trying to understand how this fits into the broader arguments.
> remote work, overall, is inefficient

I dont see how one anonymous poll at a FAANG company proves that.
Just because you are doing busywork doesn't mean it's efficient.
FWIW I agree with your other points.
Is android viable outside of its role ass asset to search/ads.

Google's money comes from adwords. Adwords has two key assets. One is Google search. The other is Google's systemic ability to gather ad-useful data using android, maps, etc.

Everything else is stuff that exists to support the search/ads/data money maker or it is ways of spending the enormous profits generated by this monopoly. EG Waymo.

The first group can't be separated and retain value, unless the post break up shards contract to operate like they did before. That is basically a trust. The second group just aren't viable businesses, or aren't big.

I'm not saying it's impossible, just saying it gets real squishy and there aren't many guiding principles.
I'm only aware of those companies doing that. I haven't heard anything from Netflix, Slack, etc. They seem to be in support of remote work long term.
This may not be news to everyone. The Economist have started sharing their data on Github [0]. I wonder if this is one-off publication of data or it is general trend to share their data publicly. A welcome move.

If your employment and career path are tied to some ridiculous metric, and you (and everyone else) have to game it, that seems more like a systemic failure. It is pathetic that the company has set things up like that. Can’t blame the person for playing the dumb game if it puts food on the table.
I mean the elephant in the room here is socialized healthcare, no? It costs less than our system, it breaks the tie of employment to healthcare that we labor under here in the states so people are more free to leave crappy jobs, which is only made better by a much more comprehensive social safety net overall. Irrespective of your own personal economic position, having a society that's ready to actually help people who need it vs paying them lip service at election time (or seemingly genuinely trying to kill them, depending your party affiliation) is going to make a massive difference in who's better off.

There are also other differences too, things like many more walkable cities, more modern infrastructure and public transit. I could go on.

Like I'm doing fine enough here but I wouldn't even kind of defend how we live over here. America is in many ways the international version of a person who makes a lot of money but is still check to check eating ramen most nights and playing video games because they spend it all on their hobbies and stuff. It's a way to live but I wouldn't call it a good one.
> So. The narrative here in Canada has shifted to blaming immigration for housing woes. While there might be something to it, it smells suspiciously like shifting the blame away from monetary/fiscal/legislative policy.

There are multiple things that need to look at, but we've had similar policies for decades on most other fronts, but the inflection point in prices started around 2015 which is coïncidentally when immigrations numbers—especially foreign student visa—kicked into a higher gear.

Mike Moffatt has done a lot of interesting research on this that's worth checking out.

Good discussion on TVO from April:

> But the provinces (esp Ontario and BC) have failed to accommodate the immigration rates by building housing and densifying.

If provinces are only able to build at a rate of X units per year, why are we bringing in (e.g.) 2X the number of people? Yes, we should be building more units, but one of the factors in determining how many folks to bring in is being able to house them.

If we can build only build X units in 2023 then we should only bring in X. If we get to X+Y units in 2024, then that's how many people can be brought in.

You don't allow in X+Y (or 2X) people and hope that the units will magically appear.

There is no wand that can be waved to suddenly get more framers, plumbers, electricians, inspectors, urban planner, and capital.

If folks are told "in year 202X we are planning to bring in X people", they can plan for it: but that's not what is happening. Right now it's "here are X people, deal with it, it's your responsibility".
> I don't feel unsafe at all because I have the means to ensure the safety of my family and myself.

You don't have any such means, even if you own an actual M1 Abrams tank and suitable ammunition: you aren't awake 24/7; you aren't hovering around your family 24/7; and if a criminal planning to attack you already has a gun pointed at you, your reactions aren't going to be fast enough to take them down before you yourself are shot.

The way to be safe is to be in a society which minimises the degree to which criminals have access to guns, and where criminals know that killing someone is going to result in other people hunting them.

> For your sake let's hope this historically aberrant period of political stability holds forever.

I'm also pessimistic about it lasting, but I will consider it a sad day when I need to defend myself against bandits rather than letting the state do it for me.

Think about it this way: bandits and cops are doing it professionally, most of us (I don't know if you're a vet) are just amateurs.
The economist is a magazine where every article is just the author's opinion. It's not like it's a science publication with peer review. I don't know why people take it seriously.

Ask HN: What do you wish you'd known sooner about handling a loved one's cancer?
I was in this situation around 5 years ago with my dad.

I wrote some notes of what I wish someone had told me. Specifically I'm meaning for diagnoses that are terminal or that might be terminal.

What about you - what do you wish you'd known sooner, what would you tell your earlier self - the things you're glad about doing/not doing, or the things you regret doing/not doing/not knowing.
It isn't all or nothing. Computer Science degree, and I regularly use the principles I learned in my CS classes, but the required English classes? Not so much. So some "cheating" wouldn't be cheating myself.
