A robbery there would go something like:
(Note: for some reason this seems to work best in a New Zealand accent)

“Listen up, sir. I intend to steal the contents of that till. Be a good pal and hand it over.”

“I’m afraid not. As you know, I’m duty-bound to protect this till, and I’m not about to hand it over to you.”

“I’m afraid I must insist. I intend to take it, all of it. Don’t make this uncomfortable. I don’t want to use harsh language, but I’m serious.”

“I’m sorry, but it’s simply out of the question. There’s policies and regulations. I can’t just give this money out to you. If we did that, do you know how many people would be in here robbing us every day? There wouldn’t really be a gas station at all, would there? May as well shut the whole thing down then.”

sigh “No, I’m sorry. I should have expected you weren’t about to give me the cash. I’ll leave. Obviously I’m not about to use physical force, and it’s clear you’re not budging on this one.”
I have a 1st batch framework (the first batch of the first laptop version) which I haven't upgraded or changed at all yet. (Hinges are on the list tho!) The fan engages sometimes but it doesn't bother me in practice FWIW. I'm a computer musician who uses the framework for DSP processing, but I'm also someone who is maybe more tolerant of noise than most so YMMV.
Our office still has a manual typewriter, and an IBM Selectric.

that is tricky. i have not seen that happen, but i can imagine. however on the other side, what is the alternative? volunteers in groups come and go. some groups have an obvious owner, but some are just a collection of people with a common interest. these groups need to be able to have a new volunteer take over without requiring the cooperation of the previous one.
can you downgrade?
It is certainly my gut feeling that Amazon is evil as hell but I think that I'd really like to see an actual investigation by folks who study this stuff to know whether Amazon was using their pricing predatorily or not. People, especially executives, are dumb - there's bound to be an email somewhere about John congratulating Fred about managing to shut down Plug's Stuff Hut a small family business if that was the intent and these actions were being made to accomplish this goal.

However, I thing that your last point is not relevant. What-about-ism has no place in the law or it necessarily creates a slippery slope. If Google is also able to do this and purposefully did it in a predatory manner to accomplish a market advantage they both need to be legally pursued - and GCP not succeeding doesn't necessarily mean that Google didn't try underhanded actions to get it to succeed - it either means those actions weren't enough or they were incompetent (but still malicious). Either way each case needs to be judged on its own.
Go-generate-fast – a go generate replacement with caching
One of my Go pet peeves is having to constantly have "go generate" recreate the same files over and over even if the input files never changed.

Not anymore, go-generate-fast will cache the outputs when the inputs are the same, allowing you to re-run your generate commands really fast even on a clean repo.

Motivation:
I made extensive use of ccache for C/C++ back in the day, so this project tries to reproduce the same functionality, not for the compiler, but for the script generation step.
Bigger Go projects should be making proper use of Makefiles/Bazel/etc to go around this, but I often find myself using it, or seeing big projects that also do.
I don’t have to, but I pay for Open Broadcaster Studio’s software through their Patreon page because learning to use it to stream was fun, made me learn valuable skills, and helped me make new friends and keep in touch with old ones.

Those are good points, but like you said, the more systems connected the deeper the value the tool can bring. It goes beyond a better interface for querying logs and metrics: since our agent can run code, it can give you the bottom line for questions you have based on information aggregated from multiple data sources. You don't need to think of "AI question", rather just ask directly the thing you want to know, and our agent will query multiple sources of data and analyze those to give direct answers. For example, if you're trying to understand who are the users impacted by a certain issue - you can just ask exactly that.
I'm not a Japanophile but I think it's hard to deny there's a crispness to their cultural institutions that other cultures don't care as much about preserving at high fidelity.

Like, when they have traditional festivals, there's a pretty real effort at doing them right? It's not that the culture itself is "better" but they don't generally half-ass their public traditions and that makes it more fun to observe.

Like I don't want to be mean, but for example American Indian culture in a historical context is fascinating, but it's really hard to find groups that put effort into preserving cultural institutions at more than a "phone it in" level. And that makes it a lot less fun to go out of your way to see/learn.
For the international audience who don't use freedom units, 6.4 (US) gallons is ~24.2 liters.
I’m guessing depleted uranium would be a major differentiator from those old munitions.

And while the GP said toxic, I have to imagine leftover bomblets from cluster munitions are going to have serious effects on working the land as well.

I agree the distance makes it even stronger for the Japanese, but as an American I do feel like we have very little identifiably American culture. We're so young, spread out, individualistic, and corporatized. It feels a significant amount of what was positive "American culture" in the age of Art Deco died. We left behind our Grand Central Stations for strip malls and fentanyl and huge parking lots around square beige buildings. And what clearly identifiable culture does exist aren't always pleasant: constant war (both foreign and domestic), gun culture, our views on labor, conservative christianity, anti-intellectualism, etc.

So any nation with centuries of culture and tradition catches our eye as something we crave. Whether that's France or Mexico or Japan.

That isn't to say we don't have subcultures nestled around, we certainly do. Nor to say other cultures don't have serious negatives / fragmentation we ignore from afar, they certainly do. But a lot of people I know all express the same longing for a sense of belonging.

But a bias for Japanese culture does exist. It's better preserved, heavily juxtaposed to ours, has a close relationship with us, and they spend a lot of money to spread it.
What happens when renewable energy isn’t so cheap?
Todoist. My wife and I can share lists, assign tasks, track completion, all sorts of stuff. It’s not perfect, but I’m really mostly happy with it.

Also, setting up an iCloud family. Most of the sharing stuff we can do can be done without being in a family unit, but it makes it that much easier since it makes assumptions about who I wish to share with. From there, native Notes, Calendar, all that stuff has made our life so much easier.

Agree with 1Password family. Being able to send direct links and not passwords is amazing.

Interestingly, a theme here is that these tools allow me to have work stuff and personal stuff alongside each other, but still somewhat isolated. I think that’s more than a coincidence.
Yeah, I feel like policies like the locked racks were thought up before the great decrease in retail staffing levels. At current staffing levels, a lot of places are operating on what would have been considered a light skeleton crew, all the time. I bet there were more workers on the graveyard shift of a 24-hour Walmart 20 years ago, than there are at most stores during the day today (not counting pickers for delivery/pickup orders).
> Cranks, almost by definition, are pretty much instantly recognizable to an expert: no one needs to apply extra scrutiny to catch them.

Correct, but you are missing a wrinkle. What if I disingeniously call people cranks? What if a lot of actual experts in one camp call actual experts of the other camp cranks?

In the hard sciences we can deal with it. If one camp can build working satellites and the other cannot we know who the real deal is. But in softer sciences? It's an unsolved problem as far as I can tell.
I'm not sure about the square root of energy, are you sure about that ? It kinda reminds me rather of atmospheric flight where drag (and thus energy expediture) rises by similar non-linear amount.

As for shielding - there are ways around that. To shield from your own reactor you can use shadow shields & fit you ship quite comfortably into the protected cone it provides. If you are afraid of solar radiation, you can use that as well, just orient your ship accordingly when a solar flare is detected that could har you.

For fixed stations you either are on some body & have more or less unlimited amounts of "dirt" for shielding or for an orbital installation you should be able to accumulate enough material over time & it should not really matter as such stations would likely rarely change their orbit, if ever.

And lastly, you might be able to improve humans over time to better handle the space environment via new medical practices, new drugs or even various physical enhancements.

Modern people live in many places where their predecessors would not survive (or at least not with any reasonable quality of life) and this seems like another such challenge & stepping stone for humans.
“I don't think there's anything particular about SBF that makes him more likely to re-offend”

No? Not the alleged (and very convincing) parent involvement? The total lack of remorse and continued denial? The latter is typical for fraudsters, but the former is pretty particular to SBF, and definitely would incline someone to be a repeat offender imo.
> Why is Russia the top Ukrainian refugee destination?

UN officials think Poland is the top destination: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_refugee_crisis_(2022...

> Why is Russia giving full citizenship to Ukrainians?

They want to annex Ukraine, of course they’re giving their citizenship. They do it in all occupied territories: DNR/LNR, Crimea, Abkhazia (90% took it), South Ossetia (95% took it).

> Why hasn't Russia banned anything Ukrainian?

They have even banned the colors of the Ukrainian flag: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/jun/5/russia-muzzl...
This is so insanely interesting. Thank you for posting this. The track "Atul Desai - Recordings for Osaka Expo 70" is super interesting.
Exactly, landlords will be working 0.5 days and renters will be working 5-6 days. So I guess they were actually right if they meant 3.5 days on average.

I rent a very basic one bedroom in an awful location which costs more than half my after tax salary, and a round trip to my office in Toronto takes 3 hours and $45 of public transit. The price of this unit has also increased by more than my salary every year for the past 3 years.
It may be geo specific, the dodgiest advertisements ive seen is some guy trying to sell course on undestanding bitcoin.
If this were true, rich people (ie, those with capital) would stop working. In most cases they don't.

Keeping up with the joneses is a big driver of long work weeks. Globalization also drives it. Scale drives it. Boredom drives it. It's complicated.
I've always wondered why they can't just use custom ASICs for these. The common response to this question is that these mini consoles don't sell enough for the economy of scale to work out for designing and shipping custom silicon, but is that the full story? There were officially-licensed system-on-chip Mega Drive clones sold up until 2011, at cheap bargain-bin prices. Modern day mini consoles are priced like collectables and still sell hundreds of thousands, or even millions of units. Is that really not enough? Why could the Mega Drive clones do it?
Yes... There was and maybe still are 3rd parties hosting reddit clone instances if thats what you mean

I am pretty sure that even in France, getting caught with possession of <1g of cannabis while nowhere near a vehicle won't be very likely to get you detained, fined 1000s of EUR-equivalent and having your drivers license restricted pending you showing up for regular urine samples.

This is roughly what you should expect if you get busted carrying one joint in Sweden.

Sometimes I'll pick up a cheap SD card or two if what I actually want is just under the free shipping limit. Several and possibly even most are flaky enough that I doubt they're genuine.
Any culture's citizen will feel the same as you do about their own culture.

Immigrants (like me) to the US adore US culture.

This is a dupe from last week, I think.

A number of the threads here were discussed over there, including the particularly-interesting observation that concentrated salts are not that much of a concern if the (presumably-locally-consumed) water round-trips out via the same physical location, in the form of sewage / grey-water / etc.

I am only questioning nuclear generators. Such that comparing them to relatively inert metal welded to a rail seems disingenuous.
I'm not sure they'd actually call it murder in that case. They might accept some probability of murdering someone to preserve a strong negotiating position and mitigate inaction related failures, but most of the time the actual intent would probably be a non-murder killing.
Really? Because the reporting I found says that the competition authority cleared the market participants of any wrongdoing in the "milk wars".

>[Chairman of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission] Samuel said the major impact of discounted milk prices appears to have been a reduction in the supermarkets’ profit margins on house brand milk, rather than a gain.

this is silly. antitrust came from the Standard Oil days. the name itself is in reference to Standard's novel approach of using a trust as the root of its organizational hierarchy. notoriously, Standard Oil dominated the market by vertically integrating for efficiency, and then telling any competitor in the geographical area they were about to expand into "either merge with us on really shitty terms, or we'll sell at-cost until we kill your business (because at-cost for us is in-the-red for you)."

Standard Oil would be labeled "pro consumer" by today's crowd: cheap prices, and highly standardized products that you could rely on wherever you travel (like McDonald's or Starbucks is today). the notion that antitrust can be boiled down to "consumer harm" is new. the history isn't vague, and thereby neither is the "theory". the legislation, i'm not sure about, but since it's rooted in those two things and vagaries are easily cleared up by consulting the former.
Illegal in California...
There are highly placed researchers, people who've climbed the ladder over the years and have lots of authority in their field. They have their preferences about the direction the field should go in, and who should be doing the work, as well as protecting their own legacy.

Whether their reasons are benevolent or not, the existence of these people is the rule in science. If the knowledge moves too far forward, or away from their expertise they lose their relevance, and so they have incentive to protect it. This leads to biases in scientific research that are politically difficult to overcome.

It says it right in the article. Furthermore, the article says Paris is currently AirBnB's biggest market, which further disproves the comment I was responding to. You're not getting many 5 bedroom apartments in Paris, either.
That mirrors my experiences. One thing in particular that I find notable is to ask it a question after it has made an effort.

"Does this really answer the question"

Or, describe how the information you provided will reach the goal in a possible, practical way.

It does understand basics, like me, you, others. And it can handle logic expressions to a degree I find notable.
Trees growing out of other trees is a natural process that occurs in different environments in a natural way. I saw a lot of examples in rainforests.
There are trees that survive on top of other trees, or trees that keep expanding themself with large branches that they become a small tree by itself (ficus tree[1]).

I'm gonna go ahead and disagree.

This is an early stage startup, and they are very clear in describing that. I also like the clarity in their business model. And the conciseness. In 2 sentences they've told me everything I need to know. The founding team is also exceptionally on point. What I read into all this is that they are good to great at execution, at communication, and very well versed in the problem space. There aren't all that many medical doctor, strong compsci, startup founders.

The money on offer is very much on par with this kind of position at this size of company. I have to believe that the equity will also be respectable. Surely, they will find out soon enough.

I also think it's admirable that a company of this size isn't just winging it with security. I don't work in the space, but having been adjacent I can tell you that even in the healthcare startup space, few are treating security properly. (Hence the HIPAA in a box startups! Some occasionally advertised here on HN. I see far more ads for such startups than actual medical data processors hiring for security internally.)

I very much understand where the cynical take is coming from, but I think it's unfair. Security should be a core competency of such a company and they are trying to make it so. That's to be applauded not scorned.

Apple Maps and iCloud are excellent. Siri still does suck.

Your conception of the first two are probably due to their subpar launch. But they have improved to the point of being better and more tightly integrated than their competitors nowadays.
Don't worry, this was released ten years ago, so if you haven't run it any issues with it yet you're probably fine.
In fact, that failure to grok lawmakers, lies at the heart of many poor decisions made.
Thanks for highlighting that point, the geopolitical filter,along with 'physical availability' (as you stated) are likely larger contributing factors than I had initially considered.
True, there is so much to say for and against AI-based interfaces for working with data. But in reality, following the advent of products such as code interpreter, we're actually seeing users beginning to expect their data to be accessible not just via baroque query languages and multi-hop UXs. Finally, as Yasmin noted above, "Last 3 errors yesterday" is a bit diminutive :) you might ask where are transactions dropped, correlate errors with metrics, create dashboards on the fly, ...

Everything that grows the pie makes the richer even more rich. Given the unequal capture of economic growth, anything that makes the poor 1% better off will make the rich 50% better off (more money to influence governments, more toys, better health care, faster jets, nicer food, etc.). Feels like a disincentive to make anything better.
Not to mention proper virtual worlds with all the best effects, depth and fidelity and realism still need to run on something. In essence you are running an utopia in emulation, possibly requiring more real world resources to essentially simulate another world on top of yours.

So the people might live in a disconnected digital paradise, but their automated servants might cross the void at relativistic speeds to harvest any and all matter and energy not bolted down, to upgrade the paradise of their masters.
When I was reading the website, I thought "oh, I misunderstood: this is a threaded voice memo app, that's cool".

Threaded voice memos would be cool. I have some friends who send voice memos like emails and I like it a lot. If we could converse more like email that would be cool. Maybe there's even something like a blockquote in threaded voice memo universe? (Low pass filtered sample of the original memo?) :-)

I agree with other commenters who are confused about the use case for this though. Podcasts are passive in my understanding. I don't listen to them but the people I know who do listen to them in situations where they really wouldn't want to be doing something interactive. (Like working on a car, or walking the dog.)

Edit: thinking about it a bit more, I suppose you're trying to set up a broadcast platform, not a communication platform. In those terms I think it makes more sense, but maybe using the words "conversation" and "friends" leads the mind in the wrong direction. You might try appealing to podcast authors directly?
It is a little sad to think that we may have only one shot to the stars. The way we have squandered our resources makes it very difficult to bootstrap again in the future, case we choose the wrong way now. The next few years are going to be interesting indeed [remember that 'may you live interesting times' is a curse].
Family email address? Does that forward to all or both of you? I hobbled together a forwarding list with a gmail account set to forward auto to one of us, and the a filter to forward on a broad flag to the other, but something can skip the filter. A proper mailing list for family would be nice.

iCloud storage, Google plus, family setup so I don’t have to clean out inboxes or photo libraries too often for a family of 5. We do the Find My, shared notes, calendars and task in iCloud, but projects like vacation planing will be a Google doc since iCloud doc sharing is a bit squirrelly.

Shared password manager is key.

I would like notion, but there’s a fair bit of lockin with that format, and after Evernote I’m wary of building on sand.
Reinforcement learning from human feeedback is the training you're referring to, you just don't realize it.

RLHF is why 2 years ago "They're amazing for what they are" would have been "They're so hideous no one in their right mind would use them", and why in 2 years that too will be some weaker form of argument.

There's no special knowledge needed to know "I like X over Y": RLHF allows a model to turn that into guidance at a scale that's never been possible before.
