I appreciate the help, but I think the goal of understanding the money coming in and going out is too abstract - what does it mean to understand, and at what level is understanding achieved?

The point I want to make is that all the things described in the article should be described in terms of their relation to the problems being solved. Because the article failed to establish this connection you can say "a spreadsheet conveys the data better than a graph", or vice versa, and there's no way to decide whether that's true or not.

For instance, being able to answer the following questions:

- Do I have enough money to continue operating?

- Are there any unexpected losses?

- If there are unexpected losses, where are they?

- Are there unexpected gains? And where are they?

- If I want to spend more, how much can I safely spend?

- How are accounts likely to change in the future, and can the above questions be answered then?

Maybe there are others. Questions an exec, or a spouse, or the tax office might ask. The goal needs to have that level of specificity. When an accountant "balances the books" it's not an arbitrary exercise, it's trying to answer one of those questions above.

For the record, I absolutely want an accounting for computer scientists guide. I'm not exactly interested in wrestling with and mapping the concepts myself, at least with the free time I have right now.

I thought this was the defining characteristic, that set them apart from gossipmongers and fools.

Yes, I not only can expect that, I think I should.

Obviously the moderators would be working full time. I don't know why it takes more than $20 of time to review this case and see that a classification mistake was made.
This is a good point. Can a similar markup mechanism help make accessibility easier? Equations are compact to the eye but can be really unpleasant read out loud.
I saw plenty of evidences that Israel is destroying and killing civilians in Gaza. And literally none besides the bombers saying that it wasn't them in the case of the Hospital that Israel bombed. This is genocide.
It's the same group, but they are separate companies. They do share a lot of parts and platforms, though. KIA EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 are built on the same platform.
They should look into commercialising this technology that allows them to receive reviews by customers of a product that you can only pre-order.

More seriously, looking at the reviews this might be a good product for people with attention disorder? But with the sales page is styling itself like a luxury lifestyle brand, I guess they are targeting rich people with undiagnosed problems tying to self medicate?
Is there a link to this SIDE project?

It is relevant because in other comments there are suggestions that his coverage of China is an issue.
It’s more than that it wasn’t funny. It’s ok to not be funny. But something about his demeanour came across as really unlikable. He’d have been better off being more neutral if he didn’t want to be funny, but he came across as so righteous and arrogant. It was painful.
I really appreciated the utilization of SigNoz in this process. The blend of Git's Trace2 with OpenTelemetry, further analyzed with SigNoz helps in the understanding of Git performance at scale.

What makes you certain about that enough to dismiss the parent post? Israel does seem to posses low collateral damage weapons that can also be set in air-burst mode, GBU-39/B just to name one. And bellingcat's own cursory investigation (at the time) identified a crater—"Bellingcat was able to identify what appears to be the impact crater, after analysing footage and images of the aftermath". There's simply too much confusion about this event to come to any conclusion, it's best to simply wait to know more, because there are some strong arguments that can't be dismissed and repeating the same usual points doesn't help.
It's about how hard it is to make a mistake in well-intentioned code. The number of times my fingers typed "if err != nil" when what I did actually mean was "if err == nil" is too damn high, and the consequences often dire. I usually prefer Go to Rust (and even defend Go's error handling most of the time), but that's the one aspect that Rust handles 1000x better: the common case must be easier, so that you don't get as easily tripped up by the uncommon.
Is that what you would say to people who are caught on camera shitting in the middle of supermarkets?

It seems to me that the problem here is that everyone directly depends on pypi. The Debian model would be to introduce another repository layer, explicitly to say "everything you install from this repository will work together". Hoping to achieve the same effect with version numbers is a fool's errand, especially when nobody agrees what version numbers mean.
People talk about this as if it's a new problem but honestly this has always been a thing:

Journalism always craves information, and interesting information from a well-known source will always succeed. Note that I said "interesting" and "well-known", not "verifiable" and "credible". I've been learning a bit about the Nixon era and it seems like this has always been a problem. Newspapers are trivially easy for dishonest VIPs and organizations to weaponize.

This credulousness is a problem. It helped usher Trump into the white house. By putting the lie first and the analysis second (or not at all) it signal-boosts the lie.

Once somebody is a proven liar, it's malpractice to quote them without necessary caveats first. Yes, headlines need to be short and punchy. Still malpractice.

What we knew was that there was an explosion at a Gaza hospital. Anything more detailed should have been couched with "this is who says what and all of these groups have a substantial motivation for and history of being dishonest about this stuff so don't take any of this as gospel until the facts are in". And yes, this applies to the Israeli sources as well - they, too, have been caught in many lies about actions they've taken against Palestinians. They were telling the truth this time, but they're still in the red on that subject.

Day 1 headline could've been "Explosion at Gaza hospital; Palestinian and Israeli officials accuse other side of causing it". And new article posts as it develops and more hard facts are known.

Edit: Note that this was exactly Politico's angle on this on day 1 of this story:

> Blast kills hundreds at Gaza hospital; Hamas and Israel trade blame

> KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip — A massive blast rocked a Gaza City hospital packed with wounded and other Palestinians seeking shelter Tuesday, killing hundreds of people, the Hamas-run Health Ministry said. Hamas blamed an Israeli airstrike, while the Israeli military said the hospital was hit by a rocket misfired by Palestinian militants.

Anyhow this is not going to get easier. News media has been hollowed out, and the kind of resources it takes to fact-check are no longer there... but still, just approaching these stories with a proper order of operations of

"This is what we know. This is who we're talking to. This is how credible they are. This is what they say" in that order, including in headlines would do a lot for this.
It's a combination of comedy and a giant warm loving hug to the rest of Trek.

It was fun for a bit but it got old.
It is so fantastic that we have a single resource where I can find information on an unremarkable Peruvian moth, a random small town in Iran, or a type of reading material designed for Sunday reading in Victorian England. Before the advent of the internet this stuff wouldn’t be worth the paper it is published on. But now the cost of storing it in the cloud is effectively zero, so we get this amazing long tail of information that is just incredibly valuable. Thank you to the people who contribute and maintain this stuff!

Edit: what would be really cool is if I could leave a note on a page saying "hey, I visited this page and I'm looking to connect with other people interested in the Peruvian Foovius Barivius Moth"... ping me

I think Die Hard is fair use of this trope, because it popularized or codified it. Back when Die Hard opened, a lot of these tropes were far less common; in fact they've become common because of the movie. Many later action thrillers owe a lot to John McClane.
Who cares? All of this is just envy. The author doesn't want the rich person to be rich. It's not about whether everyone is wealthy or not.

Let's say we distribute Bezos money to everyone. That's 24 Dollars per person. It would change nothing. Nada.

The Daily Show was the best thing on TV 2000-2008.

Then Obama became president, and the show tried to be as scathing and funny as they had been with Bush, but I think their hearts just weren't in it.
I don't see what this has to do with the issue here. The show was cancelled because he refused to change his views on AI and China to appease Apple, not because of his personality.
This has been a problem far longer than cell phones or spoofed numbers. I don't want to have to individually block every one of the 8000 numbers some scam telemarketer paid to have allocated. I don't think your plan mitigates any robocalls, it just forces them to (slightly) change tactics.

Although every PRNG must eventually repeat, while pi is mathematically proven to never repeat. And real-life RNGs are fundamentally limited by hardware, no? How long would it take to pull multiple terabytes off one? They're not meant for it.

I wouldn't be so worried about LLMs making guns. The SketchIT project found that it's very difficult to describe mechanical device to other humans using just text, images are needed too[0]. I'd also worry about the gun produced being structurally sound, how can one be so sure that the gun barrel hasn't been hallucinated to be too thin?

Guns and other mechanical devices don't exist alone. A gun must interface with a bullet, a part of an aircraft must interface with other parts. So CAD AI must be able to understand the geometric context of the parts it is making.

That being said, I think AI will soon be capable of making mechanical devices. There has been some improvement in physical reasoning benchmarks like PHYRE[1]. Understanding physical reasoning and how multiple objects move with respect to each other is important in the synthesis of new mechanical devices.

SketchIt[0] demonstrated that by making reduced 2DoF description of how pairs of objects in a device may move with respect to each other, it's possible to synthesize a new device which performs the same function.

Solving PHYRE problems requires reasoning with larger degrees of freedom. The first example on the homepage has something like 5 objects which each have 3 positional DoF (translation and rotation). Even reasoning with 3DoF is quite difficult for approaches like those used in SketchIT.

Given that approaches like slotformer[2] already do somewhat well at solving these huge DoF problems, I don't think we're very far from AI being able to design complicated mechanical devices.

It's new, and an experiment, but I have high hopes for it.
I'm curious, why do you think it's flawed?

To me, it's a masterpiece.
They have a huge leap to make. The scale of difference between SQ3 and M2 is massive...but the bigger problem is Microsoft themselves. Windows ARM support and translation is incredibly bad. Apple's magic in M1 was a fast and efficient CPU, yes...but also Apple using their ownership of the entire stack to make it:

A: Easy to port apps

B: Transparent to translate them.

Selling an M1 Mac was easy: It has some new tech, gets better battery life, all while running your old apps faster than your old Mac.
Windows on the other hand fails aggressively here. To sell a Windows on ARM device implies the need to explain a whole lot of mumbo jumbo to the customer about 32Bit and 64Bit apps, about stuff that won't emulate at all, about the massive performance hit.

I honestly think that a Snapdragon X Chromebook has much better odds. Google is in a far better space to have a singular, cohesive, understandable product. Chrome OS doesn't care at all what CPU is in there. It all "just works" for the average user.
Good for him, he's always seemed pretty reasonable. It's crazy that stating what he did was considered controversial and Colbert had to back pedal to toe the party line.
The idea that it is entirely due to conflicting values and not due to the shows unpopularity seems like a bit of a cope of the show's producer's part. If the show was driving people to subscribe to Apple TV+, it likely would not have been cancelled.
They did artificially limit the power in a software update, like an iPhone, but realized that this doesn't undo damage already done.

...there is.

If you want to do a lot of scrolling, you click the mouse wheel. Then you just move the cursor down to scroll down or up to scroll up. You don't move the wheel at all.

You can also use the various keyboard navigation options, like pgdn or the space bar.
Given a reasonable benchmark of $3 million to retire comfortably in most places in the US, Jeff Bezos could retire a mere 60,000 times. Tell me how a person can "earn" enough money by doing work that produces 60,000 lifetimes worth of wealth. You can't. Instead, Jeff is the beneficiary of a system by which he extracts an increment of the benefit that every person participating in the system derives (presumably over the old system). It boggles the mind that the system allows some people to accrue that much wealth by summing the indirect benefit to other people and yet some other people are stuck spinning their wheels their entire lives.

Inequality is extreme.
Sick days are dumb. Ofc people are going to find ways to be "sick" when their meager vacation time runs out.

Ah, okay. Yes, that makes sense. Thanks for filling in that gap
I was just discussing this with my girl last night. This is technically irrelevant to the overall context but in this specific comment thread, it's hard to figure out how to make content for the general population. I feel a lack of confidence because I surround myself with people who are smarter and better at things than me a lot of the time. So when I want to make them interested in something it's got to be super complex.

At the same time I see people watching a tutorial telling them how to put their OpenAI API key into a mass-adopted bot platform and getting "It's really cool you can do these kinds of things!" which is what started the conversation. Like it's cool they're trying, no shade to them but my baseline of what most people will think is interesting is so distorted.
it doesnt take a lot to be 1000x more productive in the software world and there are many ways to get there.

I was surprised to find that the recommended tool for doing system architecture visualization was still Vizio. I had seen Cloudcraft but at the time it didn't have anything for Azure only AWS. I tried a few others like Cloudskew, but none of them really felt like the answer. So I started making my own.
> How is it you can download games from Steam with the greatest of ease whereas the Windows store is a struggle? How is it Dropbox works and OneDrive doesn't?

From a technical standpoint, OneDrive and the Windows Store work fine for me. The worst problem for the Windows Store that there are few compelling reasons to use it, both from the perspective of the end user and the perspective of the software developer/publisher.

And of course regarding games the case study really has to be titled "Why does every single Steam competitor fail". Multiple big name publishers tried to compete with Steam, all of them failed miserably (well, Epic Store is still around, but I think it's fair to already call it a failure).

Introversion vs extroversion is more about how you recharge

Extroverts get energy from talking to people, so they are likely to do it more

Introverts are the opposite.

An introvert can talk more than an extrovert.
Was that even the intention?

It seemed more to be champion leftist causes, using some wit.
survivor bias coupled with the fact that there were a lot more blogs back then. So with a lot more content, you have more great content as well as more crap content but what survives is the great content.
I liked the old WSL back in the day. I've never really gotten traction w/ WSL2 between having a machine at work that is locked down so I can't install apps from the Windows store (hardly ever need to do that except for the occasional crapplet you need for a printer... and WSL2) and feeling completely comfortable running Linux in HyperV when I need to.

My RSS reader YOShInOn is written in Python and hypothetically it could use multiprocessing, celery, and other stuff that would work better with WSL2, but I have it working just fine in ordinary windows and when I need to do something that doesn't fit will with the asyncio paradigm (long running CPU-bound tasks) I just open a pipe to a new process.
They need to make YouTube premium cheaper instead of trying to compete with Spotify but I guess the issue is the amount of licensed music on the platform and that people use it to listen to music anyway, so they have no choice?

Nicely put!

I'm not saying it has no redeeming qualities whatsoever, mind you. It's just generic and empty. There may be exceptions in specific movies of the saga, of course.
I told everyone this would happen and got called a xenopbobe. If you align yourself with dictatorships, you lose agency for access to a large market. I don't think it is worth it, but publicly traded companies have a hard time saying no to expansion, no matter how ill-advised.

I've not heard anything bad about Polestar (Volvo).
The refusal of the US to implement basic privacy protections is harming everyone on earth.
That's been 100% my experience as well. The real choice for me is "do I want to sit in front of my keyboarding spiraling down further and being mostly useless (and feeling guilty about that), or do I want to spend a little time addressing the problem and come back when I can function." Often times even just 3-4 hours is enough to do that. Getting FMLA protection for my chronic health condition has been amazing for that as it removed the guilt I used to feel about taking time, and I'm more productive than I've been in years despite taking a few hours a week. Recovering from burnout is seriously hard and it honestly needs it's own DSM diagnosis at this point.
They shouldn't stop being outraged though, which means it's still newsworthy and important to discuss.
Although he could have the dough to set it up, it would be better if he could find a platform like HBO, Apple, Netflix that will have the guaranteed audience.

He could as well make his podcast (and carry a couple of sponsors). The problem would then be transferred to "who will sponsor the China episode"?

The issue is not John Stewart, Apple, NBA, John Cena, and all the rest. The problem is that "their values/ways" do not align with "our values/ways", and because we make our iphones there, and because NBA sells tshirts there, and because Cena does movies/fights there, and so on.. To paraphrase the Chappelle quote "we got the sneaker deal" and now we just take the slaps.
This isn't new. The US has been regularly doing these kinds of tests since the 90s and two took place last year. I'd be surprised if this was a specific response to Russia instead of something that's been planned for months.
I think the link to their paper was posted on HN. Try algolia to find it.

Massive wealth hoarding impacts everything from social programs to inflation to who can own a house to who can afford to have kids.

Show HN: Github Action to scan for config files in your repo and validate syntax
Github Action to use the config-file-validator (https://github.com/Boeing/config-file-validator) to recursively scan the directory structure of a repo for config files and validate their syntax as part of a CI/CD pipeline.

This is useful as a quick quality gate in your CI pipeline to validate that a syntax error was not introduced in the latest commit. Currently XML, JSON, YAML, INI, and TOML are supported with CSV, HCL, and Plist coming in the next release.

Here's how to add it to your existing workflow: https://github.com/kehoecj/validate-configs-action/tree/main...
The colbert report was also freakishly amazing.. now he is not funny..
This seems like a massive generalization.

Companies like Nissan, GM, and BMW have very mature EV tech and EV experience.

I wouldn’t jump to generalizing. I’d rather stick with the tried and true “Ford makes shitty cars.”
What's so good about Hyundai?

I have noticed a terrible amount of "model churn". I was looking for a used EV and there's quite a few where the manufacturer only made that range for a couple of years and then stopped.
10x, sure. 100x, I know there are plenty of people like that across the whole world. I don’t think there are many 1000x devs, and it certainly does take a lot to get there!
