see, this is where I don't get it. Can you send your material anonymously (burner email, pay in cash/crypto/prepaid debit card)? Then how could they match your DNA to your identity to sell it to insurance companies, etc?
I think you're talking about spinning up a temporary environment running the code and connecting via a local IDE to inspect it, whereas OP is talking about hosting the IDE remotely.
This is a description of the difference in how and what it learns rather than how it thinks. It doesn’t really "experience" on its own so it’s only parroting second-hand knowledge.

Asking it for its opinion on something and it will give you an opinion. It might be nobody’s opinion or a common opinion but it seems to "know" how to form the sentence to communicate the opinion.

Maybe "not as smart as an average human adult" is the bar most people expect but it still seems smarter than some dumb pets I’ve known. At the very least it can communicate with me in my language even if it’s dumb as a rock most of the time. I could be convinced that an adult is typing what their 7 year-old is telling them to write. (Not really but you get the idea. Maybe if the 7 year-old just knew all of wikiedia.)
I have trust in their ability to find loopholes in the act.
To ask this question, you must live in a city.

My pool area. My gutters. My roof during fire season. Underneath deciduous trees in the fall.

A cordless leafblower is one of the best things I ever bought.

I'm someone with an extremely sensitive sense of smell.

When I had COVID (the first time) at one point my sense of smell became corrupted. I didn't realize it at first. For days I smelled a tangerine smell in my apartment (where I was mostly holed up in those days). I kept thinking that they were cleaning the building carpets with some sort of new cleaner, and it was coming in the vents.

After days of this I opened the window and smelled this smell much more intensely in the wind. Then with some experimentation I realized, it's me not the world.

I worried that everything would smell like that forever, but luckily it came back. Something similar happened with smoke, where I felt like certain smells (coffee, for example) smelled like someone was smoking. Another confusing experience.
Even though I'm not a direct customer, it affected me: I now know I have tens or more half siblings throughout the US. It's mildly unsettling but I guess I'm happy that people were able to find my dad, who is also their dad.
> They've been meticulously avoiding escalation with any NATO country.

Except for the constant threats of nuclear Armageddon, the sabotage of the Bulgarian munitions factory, ramming into a US drone over the Black Sea, shooting a missile at a British jet over the Black Sea, threatening to invade Gotland, threatening to invade Poland, violating Finnish, Swedish, and Norwegian airspace. I’m probably forgetting some things, it’s been a long war.
If the health-risks were the same (and they aren’t) I don’t think we’d be complaining as much. We don’t want to encourage people compromising their health like this; but it’s not the elite-athletes I’m worried about, but their millions of followers - think: kids doing high-school athletics - or people who are inspired by major sporting events to start doing exercise - it benefits no-one by implicitly encouraging everyone to do sports PEDs.

IMB4 anyone suggests that a Vyvanse prescription is equivalent to sports PEDs, despite both being significant risks to heart-health.
Yeah, the way to do a ban is to set a large fine ($5000) and pay a $500 bounty to citizens who report the violator. Neighbours who are annoyed by noisy leafblowers will jump at the chance to collect those bounties.
And both Opsix and Wavestate are built around raspberry pi module. Kinda wild.

I'd love if company that's, well, versed in building good music hardware would just release hackable version of their synth
My previous employer used them to test client integrations of our hosted services. They were nice to send a url for collaborative debugging rather than telling someone to go spin up a copy of the SDK and pasting them a block of json to configure it with.
I wish Netflix had a way to filter out Netflix Originals, because 90% of the time, they are just 'filler', stretched-out garbage.

Amazon is getting the trucks below cost, is one reason.
Too bad Intellij requires the Ultimate version of their software to use their equivalent of the VScode server/client feature.
As an Android develop this greatly interests me. In fact this was one of the reasons I had to buy a more powerful laptop than I wanted to and it almost cost me double my target laptop otherwise. Because Android development is such a resource hog.

Are there useful cloud dev env setups for Android? The way Google has made sure Android dev remains locked in to Android Studio i.e IntelliJ Idea and also to the Great Gradle and what not I assume it’d have to come from IntelliJ - https://www.jetbrains.com/remote-development/.

Has anyone successfully tried this for Android remote dev? I suspect even if it’s feasible with lots of fragile moving parts the resource hungry setup will surely make it very costly for having a personal setup in the cloud.
You joke but one of many organizations weakest points is lack of prompt alerting. I think the FBI recently put out a list of weakest points and this was maybe number 4 or 5 on the list. I’ll do some googling and see if I can find it.

This is a forum of engineers and builders - if a lot of data were being exfiltrated from your cloud accounts right now, would you know? What would your response plan look like? Maybe this could be a good way for all orgs to review those practices and make sure they have a plan.
They also posted video of "that night" but it turned out it was from 2022
I'm sorry but this whole tripe of, "We don't even know how they work" is the stupidest part of the current AI hype trend.

Can any other data scientists attest to this? They pretend like we are clueless about what's going on inside our own algorithms and it's just silly at this point.

It IS hard to track back any specific output through it's exact path but a lot of life is like that.

It would be like saying Jackson Pollock didn't understand how his paintings are even being made because he doesn't understand every step of the physics of the paint
Flash also allowed you to drag controls onto a canvas and double-click them to write code — for the web. It's this modern misguided effort to turn glorified word processors into operating systems that ruined it, together with Adobe killing Flash.

I used a broom before the leaf blower. It's a lot faster than a broom and way, way easier.
If you make me enter a credit card in during a trial, I am going somewhere else. Amount of effort isn’t worth it. I have to log on to Ramp and request a virtual card and explain to finance why I need a new virtual card for a service I haven’t even trialed/demoed. Yeah no thanks.

Irony is that equals product would probably be useful for our org since we use salesforce and snowflake heavily.
This is an amazing book and I'm so suprised to see someone else knows about it. However
, who cares about the Lebesgue integral? The only thing its good for is integrating pathological functions like the rationals, the indicator of the Cantor set, and fractals. Riemann integration is just fine and I'm not sure what all the fuss is about the Lebesgue Integral. Sure expectation of a random variable is a Lebesgue integral, but most of the time you have a density anyways and you can use the Riemann Integral.
I’d say it goes beyond not being mutually exclusive. They complement each other, sometimes in surprising ways. Sacred geometry, concepts of frequency and vibrational rates, extracting signal from noise, if you are well versed in math and science you’ll find a lot of synchronicities. Fourier analysis dovetails with the concept of unity.

Pythagoras was what we might call an occultist. Newton was an alchemist (which isn’t about lead to gold, it’s about the transmutation of the Self), Jack Parsons was a Thelemite. Ramanujan credited his genius to visions.

Science and math can’t (yet) answer the big questions. There are things it doesn’t even try and touch. In my experience, curious minds are often interested in trying to attain a broader understanding of the universe and our place in it.

I can assure you I know more than a little about security, considered all the reasonable risks, and concluded that it's not really increasing my risk and is unlikely to do so any time in the future.
Intellij Ultimate edition costs more than the server at this point. Wish they'd bring this over to Community and Android Studio.
Fair enough, I'll rephrase it this way: most large mammal meat causes inflammation for me and my partner, whereas chicken, turkey, fish, rabbit, etc are all fine (and I should say I used to basically eat meat with carbs). As far as omega fatty acids are concerned, I believe one shouldn't let their omega-6 and omega-9 levels be much higher than omega-3. Gluten is associated with all sorts of issues that I think we will be learning more about in the next few years. There are plenty of alternatives so that one is easy for me. I can still make pasta (chickpea, lentil, brown rice), and use tortillas (almond, chickpea, cassava).
I love your app! It is perfect for my MBA M1. I was annoyed there wasn't an option to temporarily disable the keyboard for cleaning. I found your app through brew.
If the argument is "the data controlled by this company could be used by an incompetent judiciary system to punish innocent people, therefore this company shouldn't exist", then you should go live in the wilderness away from society, because there's any number of ways that the illegal actions of those around you could have you accused of a crime you didn't do. Personally, I prefer to recognize that I live with an imperfect system and gamble that I'm more likely to find stability and happiness in spite of that system than completely on my own.
Almost 20 years ago we had to write our own database with indexing for a software dev class. It was crap by every definition possible

But that learning experience and having a rough idea of what sql is doing under the hood is still useful to me every day.
Not to knock on Sunvox or NightRadio (both awesome!), but that effect only exists in the video. It doesn't happen when playing the demo song on the software, and they confirmed it was made with a video editor [1].

Small pickup trucks used to be popular, when I was a kid most pickup trucks weren't much larger than a station wagon, but the government fucked it up by setting MPG requirements lower for larger trucks, incentivizing manufacturers to go big. At this point consumer tastes have adapted to the market and small trucks probably wouldn't sell well even if the regulations were fixed to make them feasible.

For my part, my tastes never changed. Modern pickup trucks are hideous giant blob abominations. But that's not the way most people feel anymore.
Also when you talk about the divergence theorem using Lebesuge integration, you're tending into the territory of Geometric Measure Theory which is very deep and im not sure why anyone would do this unless they were a working mathematician and had a practical need for it, like say they were studying geometric analysis (which only a small group of people in the world do).
It's worth noting that the Librewolf Windows updater isn't official, though it is packaged in the installer.
There are loads of vans and trucks that don't have a rear window to see thru at all. I can't imagine rear view mirrors are a legal requirement for vans anywhere on Earth.
Sounds like this is an announcement of an announcement and therefore offtopic for HN. We can have a discussion when the actual announcement occurs.

clown school is great. it can take many forms too - there are classes, workshops, school-schools (i.e. some 1-day, some months-long)

a famous clown school is Philippe Gaulier's. famously, Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat, etc.) went (and unsurprisingly excelled) there.

this is a short/good? small snippet re: Gaulier's school - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wD4YFuJT0_E

but there's a lot more to it - there are schools and communities in New York, Los Angeles, Paris, ... everywhere? just as you'd find improv classes and communities all around the world.

as for motivation -- I'm not OP, but for me, it can be the same reasons that drive people to learn acting, or improv, or dancing, or meditation, or horse back riding. something about it is about exploring a new "thing" (being on stage, performing) and some is about exploring yourself (your limits, your subconscious, your inner child, etc.)

you should try it if you haven't. everyone should. :*)
VC++ was pretty good. I have good memories with VC++ 6. At that time borland was mostly following MS - or as I thought. I liked MS approach much better than anything else in the market.

Desktop computing era is over now :(
It’s just another block chain scam: a hyped up version of a database of text files.
It's upsides if something treatable is discovered early, otherwise it is mostly downsides and not just for yourself. Assuming you can trust their analysis in the first place.

What I really don't like about these companies is that they are never transparent, you only find out after the fact what you bought into.
That's science fiction. No matter what you read in the popular press or scientific journals, engineering a virus specific enough to perfectly target a group of people sharing a common genetic history with perfect specificity and sensitivity, is still not something we could do. I also don't see this as being technically possible for some time.
Microservices are only used to scale engineering teams, not software. You can have a monolith that is still deployed in many different capacities or roles to get any optimization benefits. Microservices are needed because large groups aren't good at working together on software without very rigid and well-defined boundaries.
Definitely. There's so many wins to going full on electrification.

I think the only "exception" will be air travel, but even that can be addressed by using green fuel.

Real estate attorneys are flat-rate for the transaction. Around $500, possibly a doc prep fee on top of $50-$100. If your employer offers legal services as a benefit home purchases are often included.
Also Brave lets you disable JS globally and then enable it on a per-site basis.

The UX is nice; the switch to toggle JS for the current site is right under a drop-down menu in the URL bar, and it remembers your settings for each site independently.
Still no stochastic rounding :(
>There is no such thing as "fair", people will take what they can according to market forces

By that same logic, there is no such thing as "justice" and the entire legal system is a mirage? :)
Interesting how that page references a post that I did a few days ago that didn't get much traction.
Hearing such accounts makes me believe that it either varies so much or the outliers online are just being loud, it isn’t even funny. I have been happy as an elephant with their service and build quality. Been a model 3 owner for 4 years with exactly zero problems. The only “issue” was a tiny panel gap in the front that you would have to intentionally search for to notice. Know a few other people who own it, no complaints either (one bought it on release, another one a couple years ago).

Punctured a tire once and noticed only once i got a few miles away from home. It was a rather large rip on the side, so i couldn’t make it back home myself, as the tire would deflate from pumped to “dangerous to drive” within a minute of me driving. Called up tesla, they towed my car to the nearby service center at no charge within an hour.

Punctured a tire another time, but it was a nail in the center of the tire (aka a small puncture), so i could make it home. Called up tesla, their mobile service van arrived at my apartment building, fixed up the tire, and left. Cost me around $60 or so iirc.

Not even mentioning that I saved so much money on not having to pay for gas and not having to replace brakes (given that the wear on them is so small, due to regenerative braking doing most of the work to stop the car). The only actual maintenance I had to do so far was replacing the windshield wiper fluid.
> Whether they're in the same process/server/cluster etc ideally should be purely based on throughput/latency/scale concerns. Even more ideally the services should be dynamically shuffled around hosts based on load at runtime.

Think that's called Erlang.

> Imo microservices should be a logical boundary only.

Having option to split it freely is a costly abstraction to deal with, especially if it is cross-language.

I prefer to just leave "cutting lines" in monolith. Well defined modules and relations between them so if some feature needs to be spun off it's not too hard.
Yep. That's us, too. We had been planning to get a Tesla for many years but wouldn't be caught dead in one now.
I thought Parsec didn't have a Linux host application?
we've caught a few "oops I almost spent a million dollars" through cost alerting on AWS. Unfortunately, the time resolution for billing isn't great. I will say, much to my surprise, AWS comped us for the money we wasted even when it was our own fault.
The parties are cancer on America. They will kill the democracy.

What is your proposed alternative?

(also: I think the analogy is flawed. The cancer on America would be the media and other moneyed influence. The democracy has been brain-dead for two decades already, and the parties are the only thing keeping it on artificial life support. Pulling the plug will not magically make the patient better)
Lead pollution from small planes threatens human health, EPA finds
The actual work is not the issue. It's getting a response from an application and then passing the interview that's the challenge.

I've applied to Netflix many times for many different positions and have never once gotten a response. I assume they are inundated with thousands of applications for every position.
Having read his recent - very good - biography, I have decidedly mixed feelings about the man.

On the one hand, he's so right about many things in life. Most restrictions and limitations are just bullshit that you can ignore. If you want change, you've got to simply do it.

But on the other hand, he thinks we're in a simulation and the other people aren't real.
KYC validation is typically rolled out to receive payments (or airdrops) as an adoption strategy. People will give up their information to get money — it’s what both Amazon and stripe did precisely and it’s a common strategy.

After Wikipedia has been caught to be influenced by the Polish, Hungarian and Croatian far right -- and you bet there are more -- I would be very slow to trust a summary of that manifest from it. It's one of those topics where a little omission here and there can make quite a difference and you don't even need to insert a lie into Wikipedia. Not that's hard, just put down an obscure book as a source, no one checks whether your quote is in it.
My dad is an agent. He works with foreclosed homes, estate sales and other complex sales. He gets a lot of business referrals from lawyers.

Just talked with him about an estate sale where he had to get 17 signatures from various heirs to sell a house. One of the heirs was a 90 year old aunt of the original owner. The aunt had died during the real estate transaction which meant my dad had to track down her 5 children since they were now somehow part of the transaction.

In another sale, he had to sell off a bunch of farm equipment that owner and buyer wanted nothing to do with and that he couldn't find a way to deal with (without just eating the cost of having it scrapped)

In another one he had to navigate a three-way sale where a buyer also wanted the abutting land that a second owner was willing to sell but only to this buyer and it involved money in escrow for survey and sub parcel fees and multiple properties in limbo while three parties all worked it out.

For a lot of real estate transactions I imagine the premise of this article is true. But there is certainly value that can be added from a good agent.
Kiwi Farms ruling sets "dubious" copyright precedent, expert warns

They're not uncommon to see as a fleet vehicle
I completely agree. For example I made the mistake of buying their multimeter and its completely trash, their usb tester is fine but only if you know it's quirks and update the firmware. When I got it originally it had a weird bootloop issue. They have interesting products but they definitely aren't as reliable as some of the bullet proof and oddly reliable Chinese manufacturers on AE. To be fair, their support was top notch

(Sidenote, this pattern is so common with AliExpress: very very good hardware but janky software. But God do I like the hardware since it seems like even the most niche, non mainstream stuff still see steady innovation and improvement. None of that 10 year old hardware that used to be common for almost all hobby tier niches haha.)
That was fast.

Google siphons up reams of data it shouldn't have because Chrome is the default in scores of libraries and government facilities, passing data to brokers that makes it harder to navigate the web and easier to keep people in the fiedoms of Musk, Zuck, and... whichever Google founder people weren't complaining keeps trying to get them do go to his yacht discos.

It's ok to treat yourself, the issue is if someone wants to sit and read in the corner and they don't get the same wealth as the person who let them be grinded on by some creep like the world is the worst kind of techno bar.

Show HN: Wordle-Turtle – A Useless Firefox Add-On
I was motivated to share this after reading the blog "Write more 'useless software'"[0].

I recently made a Firefox Add-on that modifies every letter area in the NYT Wordle page to have a Dana Carvey gif from the movie "Master of Disguise".

It was just a joke that came to me as I was waking up, and I put it together quickly before the novelty wore off.

I know it's silly and fragile, but I had fun making it, and I really enjoy looking at it. I hope you enjoy it too. Thanks for reading!
