> Even if you created that corporation yourself?

Yes.

> who should we hand over the power to?

The shares are sold to whoever's buying, so the billionaire can pay the wealth tax, to the government.

This would essentially be the same as when someone wins a car on a game show. The car is taxable income, which means that they sometimes have to sell the car to pay that tax.

> the government, which historically hasn't been all that great at allocating capital

The only way anyone gets to be a billionaire is by hoarding wealth. It's a catastrophically bad allocation of capital.
you are right, there should be prison punishments for the managerial class, otherwise its just an added cost of business

My local dealer has a $5,000 "Market Adjustment" adder on the Maverick, so I guess that is one indicator that it is indeed a hit. Which is like +20% on the XL models
Thank you.

How do modern Greek speakers pronounce the ancient words? With the new sounds, or the old sounds? Are there many ancient words in modern Greek?
They can already do that with ease by instructing the companies that own it to shut it down. I’d argue that having local officials in charge offers more transparency than a nameless corporation.

LMStudio: Local LLMs Made Easy
Doctors can only practice in states they have passed board licensing exams for.

Doctors can only practice in states where they can get malpractice insurance.

Doctors don't have the luxury of switching specialties like SWEs. A pathologist can't just switch to a cardiologist by practicing nights and weekends.

Doctors have to comply with additional local public health regulations artificially limiting the number of medical staff.

I can go on..
I’ve been avoiding them like the plague.

Thinking back years, going back to my first Debian install in 2000, in retrospect this is where things were always heading.

It’s the same path every other industry has gone down, to ultimately yield all power to a few large corporations.

The main issue with this is that even if you have a group of people passionately defending against this, googles attempts will likely persist long after any one person or group is no longer able to work against.

On a side note, this is part of the reason why corporations were never intended to be allowed to exist as long as they do today, they were supposed to come with an expiration date.

Not sure dismantling a company like Google is the right play, it just amazes me how much foresight people had 100 years ago and that we still let a bunch of those things happen.
The onus at that point is on the business to verify your age say, at the bar. This is like requiring every single person who gets into a car to prove they are of age enough to visit such establishments, regardless of whether or not they are even going to them.
“Oh you’d return home to fight against this country?”

I agree- I don’t know what “right answer” the immigration officer was expecting.
Technically it is only taking gradients from the training text, not the text itself. And those gradients are all added up so the contribution of any one of them is diluted to almost nothing.
Not to mention that this kind of range isn't helpful, it would be much more useful to make the battery smaller and lighter and stay with a 300 mile range. The vehicle would be cheaper and much more efficient overall. This is the kind of headline a marketing department would write.
Yarn 2.0 was ambitious, but in hindsight, it probably would have been better to make regular node_modules the default rather than pushing PnP and zero installs (and alienating most users in the process).

I think Yarn Berry with node_modules linker is strictly better than Yarn 1.0, whereas PnP and zero installs involve tradeoffs that might not be right for everyone. There's a lot of great design decisions in Berry that gets muddled with all the PnP-related discussion. I will say Maël deserves a lot of credit for driving corepack, which makes version control of package management totally seamless. It's always been a total nightmare but now it's shockingly easy.

I feel like anonymity is just a band-aid. Ideally we would have freedom and accountability. If everyone knew that I watched porn but respected by right to do so, that's the ideal. Without anonymity we would know that account is run by a bot or a foreign state. It goes to how homosexuals were forced to be underground for so many years (and still today for many) and if they were out of sight they were out of mind. That isn't equality if you have to have a really good way to hide.

However, the penchant for people to be complete assholes to each other over things that are none of their business is real and a huge problem. So, yes it makes sense to be able to hide but, sadly, it doesn't advance the social contract.
So guilty until proven…. Ahh screw it, just suck up all their data anyway.
As I understand it, causes of Alzheimer's:

- Traumatic head injury

- Potentially increases risk: getting more viral infections (getting the common cold very often).

- Depression

- Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease

- Born to older parents

- Smoking.

- Family history of dementia

- Increased homocysteine levels (B vitamins, hypothyroidism, smoking, excess alcohol, aging)

- Having the APOE e4 allele (which can be mitigated through diet).

Then, more recent discoveries point to the roles of:

- Sleep: detoxifies our brain.

- Exercise: detoxifies the brain and stimulates neuronal growth.

- Cribiform plate ossification through aging: somehow prevents detoxification of substances in the brain.

- Bacteria that causes gingivitis: found to get to the brain, promote inflammation, and its increased presence is found among biopsied brains for thoss who had Alzheimer's.

- Candida albicans, as this paper describes.

Supplements being studied to somehow benefit Alzheimer's:

- Curcumin: supplements like Longvida potentially help, but at doses much higher than those listed on supplement bottles. Other forms are also being investigated.

- Magnesium threonate: gets more magnesium into the brain. Some MDs testify of what they did for their Alzheimer's patients. Still being studied.

Things that probably don't help:

- Donepezil: still being given to patients, but data now suggests it's not very useful.

That's all I can recall from memory. Very interesting disease.
Are we forgetting who is paying the politicians and writing their bills?

We have the technology, might as well make the cars verify that we have a valid license to drive before we can use them.
I’ll be honest here, time got away from me. I had Node and Python in mind simply having forgot how old Python was (And Node not exactly being the new guy anymore.) :p
I am always spooked by these types of headlines concerning AI. On one hand, LLM and AI is supposed to replace many Dev jobs and be productivity multiplier. On the other hand, I still don’t see any widespread adoption of LLMs in tooling and overall dev infrastructure at my work. As someone working at a mid size tech company, is there anything I can do? Are these meetups helpful to learn what tools and technologies are out there to adopt?
A significant number of folks (especially non-professional developers) make a choice on which library/project to use based on the number of GitHub stars. For these people, the more number of stars, the more it means the 'package is good/useful'. You can argue it isn't the best/most effective way but it's quite common.
Yes, and it depends on the devices. 5V/3A will limit USB power to 600mA. Could also use a powered USB hub.
Oh.. less interesting how that I see how it works. I thought this would be a local thing, but it apparently connects to some third party service:

// establish new websocket connection
const socket = new WebSocket(`wss://homebridge-gsh.iot.oz.nu/socket?${querystring.stringify(qs)}`);

big YIKES from me there, especially because this is not really documented or even mentioned at all.
Marcel seems very similar to Xonsh, another Python-based shell.

I think that's more of a criminal case thing, while this is a civil matter.
Base64 encoding is about 75% efficient, so that means that file contains about 7-15 megabytes of thumbnails.

As these are probably not compressible that means there really isn’t a whole lot lost compared to the optimal solution.
I think the only ones who came out on top of this were the lawyers.
The only reason I have my projects on Github and not on our self-hosted server, is because of the network effect of users having accounts that makes it easier for them to report bugs and contribute.
I contain multitudes; I can do both.

In fact, I'll own it: if history forces me to choose between a 1984 dystopia and a Brave New World dystopia, I'll choose Brave New World 100% of the time. I do trust corporations more than unanswerable governments; at least, I trust my ability to walk away from Amazon more than my ability to walk away from the organization that pays the police.

And on the topic of this article: I trust a world where a Donald Trump gets kicked off of every social media network and responds by starting his own way more than a world where the government says to, for example, Reddit: "You must keep Donald Trump on your site. And as long as we're dictating rules, here are our other demands..."
I don't think you can prepare, other than disbelieve most of what you see online. Almost no one has time to check, especially when modified content feeds into levied tropes against an unfavored candidate (however you define it).

A good chunk of it is pernicious. The legislation will need to catch up around AI-usage in elections, but the consequences of this are already stark.
Unfortunately this boom is way different than the previously innovation driven tech booms. There’s no competitive advantage in writing openai wrappers. Any wealthy city can be a hub for it.
In the past I’ve used a flipper zero to lower the displayed price of gas on their signage and then file a complaint with the department of weights and measures. One gas station was closed for repeated violations.
The whole cringe around the name of the thing is enough to know it’s probably not real in any practical sense
It's not new and it doesn't work.

Hopefully they don't try to sell it to artists, because that would be literally a scam.
> Although, if you think democracy has "failed" you should see how much worse the next best solutions are.

I remember getting in arguments like a decade ago with British people who insisted that their lack of actual rights didn't matter and it was actually better to have privileges bestowed upon them by decree of their Queen as chosen by God. I wonder if any of them think differently now.

> But upgradability and building your own computer is a big reason that people choose a PC vs a console.

I hate to break it to PC builders, but DIMMs are starting to max out, signal integrity over those pins is becoming a problem. Before long, CPU RAM is probably gonna be soldered and packaged with the CPU anyway.

The architecture won't necessarily be like Apple though. The CPU/GPU could be their own tiles, meaning we could have GPU-less SKUs that still use PCIe GPUs. And the SoCs or whatever they are can still be socketed.
Let’s not try to write off all the ridiculous crypto bullshit as “buttoned up bankers.”

Is there a fixed-function circuit that can read a digital value out of a sensor and compare it with a threshold?

I'm not dounting it's possibly, but I'd be surprised if it's available without involving a Turing-complete computer.
Yep, Twitter is not an airport, you do not need to announce your departure, just leave... Most people will likely not even notice, and I think that is real reason they post these things, main character syndrome, they need people the notice they are leaving, if no one notices then their self worth declines.

Sad really
Then it's different than then?
This is true for certain metabolic zones but not others. If you're sprinting then yes, you get a higher power output while pulling up on the pedal. However if you're going for any kind of endurance (longer than a minute) the limiting factor is not muscular but cardiovascular/aerobic, and using less efficient muscles (the ones used for pulling up) will actually hinder your performance since you'll need to be supplying those with oxygen, thus decreasing total cycling economy.

I think by "prepare" they mean "start worrying about", which is not productive but does generate clicks and fear!
I never vote against increasing my taxes unless it doesn't make sense what it's going to be used for. Nothing I said indicated to the contrary. Nothing I said indicated that I wasn't willing to put up my own money also.
It's a common problem because American English no longer preserves the pronunciation difference, but posting to HN about it is a waste of time. Get a highway billboard and put it next to the ones about Jesus if it bothers you that much.
My artist cousin uses AI to be able to take more customers. He's very happy with it. Just go back to the 70s and read all the discussions about the jobs killed by computers. Before computers, more artists were needed for the same output, while now artists can do things that could only be dreamed a generation ago.

Also, when artists finally get compensated for training, expect Spotify-style cents. Artists won't be able to stop this, they are just not strong enough as a group, for better or worse.
Would love to see a graph going back over the past decade. Otherwise how can you tell if there are multiyear cycles in Twitter's engagement or if the trend had begun long before Musk's takeover?

Would also need to see an analysis of other social media sites to see how their engagement has fared in the same timeframe to tell if it's a broader trend or Twitter specifically.
Gaming Companies Flag 'Highly Skilled Hackers' as Emerging Piracy Threat
Yeah, Intel got xScale (née StrongArm) from Digital Equipment Corp as part of a settlement after the Alpha lawsuit for infringing on Pentium patents. Intel bought StrongArm which maybe meant Intel didn't really want it and sold it to Marvell. Intel didn't want Alpha either which was sold to Compaq, the last resort and buyer of all things great and small.
And by the way, for jew haters: more than half the teachers and nurses at my father's godmother school/hospital/orphanage are non-secular jewish, some even orthodox. She also received a visit from an Israeli minister once (a long time ago, when the first Rabin's government was in power), who supported their work. Also, a government might be "the will of the people", but i assure you no Israeli, even the most far-right ones voted to push for the funding of the Hamas or for the sterilization of Ethiopian jews: the current government/party (Likud) is just really good at controlling information and at astroturfing, before astroturfing even existed (look into Rabin's assassination and how the killer radicalized himself). I wouldn't be surprised if they have Shin Bet roots (Mossad weirdly seems more principled, but i only have four different interviews with ex-Mossad chiefs to base that on).
Wait wait wait. 2 LANs on PCIe? One M.2 slot on PCIe? And this works with armbian?

I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry at the attention to detail. I'm not certain most kids are that eager to replicate the full experience, including baggage check, security line clearance, boarding, etc. Even deadlines to catch your flight apparently, too. And it even has a decent 80%(ish, average) rating in the experience list.
I was talking about the power cables. But wifi would do the trick too, but as you say why should the homeowner subsidize. It is not so much the cost (maybe 1c of connection) but the onus to keep it up at all times and the security concern of letting IoT you can't patch yourself on your network.
I agree that it was a matter of time, but I think there's an interesting conversation to be had about how each of those three technologies changed the way elections were run.

Radio allowed for real-time, direct address to the people for the first time.

Television allowed voters to see the candidates' faces as they gave speeches or responded to questions for the first time.

Twitter allowed candidates to broadcast their thoughts and real time, and interact with voters' questions in real time.

I don't think the question is whether language and diffusion models will be used politically; of course they will be. But, how will they affect and change the discourse as they are used? That's a conversation worth having.
The dishwasher example is a leaky abstraction (like all abstractions)

Cleaning the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher is done purely because of physics reasons, but it surfaces into the human layer. Likewise the position of the dishes etc

You could try to design a dishwasher that minimizes this "leakage", for example, by providing a robotic arm to remove the bulk of food, but not surfacing lower level details into the higher level layers is fundamentally impossible

Thank you for your response!

It looks like you are mostly dealing with the browser, right? Things might have changed since you wrote it in 2017: I see Chrome on macOS do the "right thing" when typing Arabic, the punctuation gets inserted to the left of Arabic. I am using codepen RTL TextArea example which has

<div dir="rtl"><textarea /></div>

The browser seems to use "logical" navigation in this case, that is, if I place the caret in the middle of digits (1234567) and press RIGTH key the caret moves left.

Do you use any software specifically designed for Arabic market?
Did you consider https://decapcms.org/ (previously Netlify CMS)? I'm surprised it never really caught on as it seems a good fit for most small Markdown based sites. Looks like Smashing Magazine was using it before they moved to Tina CMS (https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2020/01/migration-from-word...).
Is this really a thing or just some local phenomena? I can't remember that the github profile played a role in any hiring committee i've been part of (western europe) as people understood that most of the experienced software developers aren't active open source contributors.
As the father of a 6 year old who's never (yet) shared Naruto with my son, it's remarkable to observe that small children innately know how to do the Naruto run. Tragically, most children seem to forget the truth sometime around middle school age.

To be serious, though, the article suggests:

> Cycling is faster than running partly because the rolling motion of the wheels prevents collisional energy losses from stepping, but also because wheels can support the weight of the body in place of the legs, while pedals enable the human to supply energy continuously in the air instead of intermittently when the leg is on the ground.

but I think they miss the point by focusing on the last element rather than the first. I have lots of experience with running (where reducing ground contact time is often advantageous for efficiency), with cycling with clipless pedals where I can supply energy continuously, and with cycling with flat pedals. On the bike, I can sprint on the flats to about 16 m/s or 36 mph while clipped in. I don't do hard workouts nearly as often on flat pedals, so the data is more spotty, but I know I can reach at least 14 m/s or 32 mph; I'm just about spun out but typically not in my highest gear. I've never specifically tried to do a short-duration time trial on flat pedals, it might be higher than that, but it's not more than a 10% differential between intermittent and continuous connection to the pedals.

But running? In my prime, I could barely hit 9 m/s or 20 mph (I'm not and have never been a sprinter). If you tied a rope to my chest and towed me to 36 mph (using the rope to eliminate energy loss to air resistance) I'd be road pizza after a single step.

I can go faster on a pair of roller blades or ice skates, with one foot at a time providing an inefficient combination of sideways and rearward thrust, or a kick scooter using only one foot, than I could ever hope to run. The problem is not about the intermittent application of force, it's all about the need to convert angular velocity of your joints which has a very limited effective range into linear velocity over the ground. It turns out that cranks and chains over sprockets of various tooth counts are a great way to do this.
It looks like the direction we’re headed is a two-tiered Internet. The first layer will require your real world identity (more than simply your ISP knowing who you are because of billing) to access, post, download, upload, etc, which I suppose will first be required to access banking, social networks, etc, destroying anonymity.

The second will be more or less what we have now, but my fear is that access to this layer will be restricted further and further until it goes the way of Usenet and ISPs either willingly (or by regulation) turn off access to it.
Also, some time in the last few years everybody started using "breaks" to refer to the mechanism you use to slow your car. It's "brakes"
Government has legislature and litigation focused on big tech right now on multiple fronts.
I'd be very wary of committing a potential fraudulent action over certified mail itself. Doing so will allow an entirely different police force to investigate you, and one that may be much more willing to investigate if the victim brings a claim you're committing fraudulent actions via the postal service.
