How do you determine if a situation is "actually" exploitive? On one hand, you could say that no employment arrangement is exploitative if the employee agreed to the terms. On the other hand, you could argue that every employment arrangement is exploitative if the employer is making profit and thus could may employees more than they are.
The articles says it originated theoretically in the late '70s, and was first demonstrated experimentally in 1986.
Show HN: Just-table (A simple table component that just works)

The formal definition section is good:

Suppose W is a set system over U, that is, a collection of subsets of a set U. The collection W is a sunflower (or Δ-system) if there is a subset S of U such that for each distinct A and B in W, we have A ∩ B = S. In other words, a set system or collection of sets W is a sunflower if the pairwise intersection of each set in W is identical. Note that this intersection, S, may be empty; a collection of pairwise disjoint subsets is also a sunflower. Similarly, a collection of sets each containing the same elements is also trivially a sunflower.

But what about negligent peers? My understanding is that there is still a carrier passing on this robot traffic that peers with all other carriers, so discontinuing service from certain users isn't enough (because of the fly by night operations), the carriers need to ban their peers who aren't policing their users enough.
It's fascinating to me that universities largely escape criticism for how incredibly toxic they are for pretty much everyone but those at the top.
(I am the person you're responding to). For me personally, comp is an indicator that I am working on something important and that I am being appreciated - so yes, when I talk about being "rewarded" I am talking about comp and other tangibles like flexibility, etc. in addition to respect. And look, if a company has been good to me but there's a tough year and everyone gets small raises, I can roll with that as part of the longer term commitment, but that has to be offset by fat raises in fat years.

This might be different for people who are happy to work for small comp in a non-profit or a lean startup, but I struggle to relate to that personally (doesn't mean they are wrong but its not for me.)

I believe that the /proc filesystem first appeared commercially in Solaris, and was then adopted and expanded in Linux.

I got an SDF account recently, and was surprised to find it in NetBSD. OpenBSD has great resistance to it.

...looking at the wiki, many more kernels implement /proc:

"Many Unix-like operating systems support the proc filesystem, including Solaris, IRIX, Tru64 UNIX, BSD, Linux, IBM AIX, QNX, and Plan 9 from Bell Labs."

In my experience working alongside network engineers, they use “layer 2” as a synonym for Ethernet, “layer 3” as a synonym for IP (v4 and v6), “layer 4” as a synonym for TCP and UDP, and “layer 7” as a synonym for application protocols. They don’t talk about the other layers. It’s just jargon, without any deeper meaning.

Also, this might tickle you:

https://www.eoht.info/page/Last%20person%20to%20know%20every...

> In genius studies, last person to know everything, i.e. technically “last man to know everything”, as there has never been a "last woman to know everything", possibly Hypatia, the only known purported "female universal genius", aside, is a title or epitaph that has been attributed to a number of individuals over the years.

> At least four, as shown adjacent, namely: Thomas Young, Joseph Leidy (IQ:150|#439), who built on Goethe's morphology work, and Athanasius Kircher, and Enrico Fermi, have had books written about them, with the epitaph "last man to know everything" attributed or affixed to their name. [7]

> Sometime between 1700 to 1900, predominately, people began to profess the view that the body of "known knowledge" had become so large that it was no longer possible for one person to know everything. To situate this postulate in the context of a date, French philosopher Pierre Levy argues, in his 1994 Collective Intelligence, that the publication of Frenchman Denis Diderdot and Jean d’Almbert’s Encyclopedie (1751-1772) marks “the end of an area in which a single human being was able to comprehend the totality of knowledge.”

> Humboldt is one of the cited "last persons to know everything" (below); a Cattell 1000 (top 100); was one of the first to propose that South America and Africa were both joined; in 1797, in Jena, with his brother Wilhelm, Friedrich Schiller, and Johann Goethe, the four discussed, in Goethe's own words, “all of nature from the perspectives of philosophy and science”.

I wouldn't take the EOHT website very seriously, it's just the opinions of one guy. He also seems to be only acquainted with +3SD to +4SD people, seeing how he considers being religious a detriment to one's "rationality".

Also, IMO such a pursuit is in vain unless you're someone that can actually manage such a thing. If you were, you would be at least a +5SD person who had a stable childhood and was studious, and wasn't socially excluded. All very rare, and the combination all but unheard of. Real polymaths "just do it", they aren't just completing a game. I've known one guy with a purported +6SD IRL and a handful of other +4SD people, and to say they're "smart" is understating it. They have to translate to get through. Writing a book for the masses isn't something they'd like to do, unless it came with social clout that could improve their state while still being an agreeable compromise.
Building in public – A complete back end for your AI app
I am building software that allows developers to build AI apps without fussing with databases or server side code. Through a website developers would be able to automatically generate API endpoints so that they can begin programming interactive applications powered by AI from day one without needing to build the infra for databases, authentication, authorization, data ingestion, model training and serving, and scalability. Got an MVP and looking for early adopters to try this very early version and give constructive feedback. An example tool build with Graxle can be found here: https://hirepath.io/. It's an AI tool that helps job seekers craft resumes and cover letters personalized for each job they're applying to. All backend tasks for Hirepath, from user sign-up to content creation, run on Graxle.

From the article, yes. Where's the report?
Thats a no-brainer, really.

In the US (assumption of location), we have nearly no social net. We pay 30+% in taxes, but little to show for it if we lose jobs, or dealing with horrific jobs.

And with the spates of homeless arrests, even sleeping under an overpass or rough camping is illegal.

And of course, the worse the job, the less the pay, and the stickier the employees due to not being able to save.

Ive been in similar situations, with terrible jobs, up to and including a manager who ordered me to lie to a state entity over his botched fix.

Drug trials are already double-blind and highly regulated, particularly stage 3, so further controlling for the corruption you are suggesting doesn't seem necessary.

What Is Role Based Access Control (RBAC)?
Joe here. This is a good question, and always a challenge when using a test set to measure the performance of an LLM/AI/ML application. The answer is to make the test dataset consist of questions that come from users of your app - this is the best way to get a representative sample of questions to test your RAG application with. If you do this though, your test dataset will consist of questions withouth reference "correct" answers. In this case, you can still use tvalmetrics to evaluate the responses by using the metrics in tvalmetrics that do rely on reference "correct" answers.

tvalmetrics introduces 6 RAG metrics: answer similarity, retrieval precision, augmentation precision, augmentation accuracy, answer consistency, and retrieval k-recall. Of these 6 metrics, only answer similarity requires reference answers, so you can use the other metrics to measure the performance of your RAG system when you have a test dataset of questions without reference "correct" answers.
Can confirm this is a bullshit theory. Eating beef and eggs did not help my depression years ago. In fact, going vegan has had a positive impact on my mental health.

I think many of the issues that SpaceX has had with the Starship/Super Heavy project are due to the poor suitability of the launch/build site. The launch site itself is tiny and directly adjacent to protected wetlands, the only access between the build and launch sites is via a two-lane public road which is the only access to the also-adjacent state park beach, etc.

There were other sites under consideration, and I'm sure they had their reasons for passing on them, but it's hard to see offhand how they could be worse than Boca Chica.
I don't understand what you're saying here. Why are you upset about creating new tools for current and future humans to be more capable at unleashing their creative visions?

All progress comes at labor from the past. If you didn't utilize past labor, you would not be talking to us now on the internet. You would be banging rocks against some cave wall instead.

If someone is inspired by art and they become an artist creating a similar style, is that stealing from you too? Is using a computer stealing from the engineers that created them? Is sleeping in a house stealing from the architects and builders?

If someone speaks do they need to pay royalties to the creators of the English language?

This technology is the beginning of creating a real life holodeck. Anything someone imagines they can creatively bring to life. How is it possible there are people greedy and self centered enough to not desire that for the future?

It is hard to follow the logic of your stance. I am genuinely curious about your modality of thinking if you would care to elaborate.
October 25, 2023

FedEx Express experienced disruptions at the Memphis hub last night due to an FAA IT system outage.

Potential delays are possible for package deliveries across the U.S. with a delivery commitment of October 25, 2023. Contingency plans are in place and FedEx is committed to providing service to the best of our ability.

Saw this in my email but I haven't seen any news articles about any FAA IT system outage. Does anybody know more? And is this the second "major" FAA IT system outage this year? (Earlier this year the NOTAM system went down)

Welcome to life in the UK, where they obviously have been taking Orwell as a user manual, not a warning.
The formal definition in the link makes this precise. Yes, 100 sets which are pairwise disjoint (which makes any pairwise intersection empty) would make a sunflower. Your second example is not a sunflower, because the definition requires that if you take the intersection of any two sets from those 100, the resulting set should be the same. So if you pairwise take those sets with unique elements, you get the empty set as intersection, but if you pairwise take two sets with shared elements, you get a set of the shared elements as intersection. The pairwise intersection should always be the same for it to be a sunflower. And yes, a collection of two sets would always be a sunflower.
This is the way.

clap is a much better developer experience (IMO) and you end up with performant (no terrible cold starts) and strongly-typed code (where possible) without having to deal with building and distributing a Python CLI.

I will never forget falling in love with Python when I first started learning to program, but experiencing internal CLIs written in Python at scale is an experience I would encourage everyone to avoid unless UX and maintenance aren’t concerns.
It is curious that users would downvote/flag our post yesterday but not Colin's post today, which begins, "Yesterday I read a great article from Sentry". I agree it's kinda shouting into the wind to complain. Oh well. :)
First of all, thanks so much for your feedback. You have a fair point that I'll have to consider while building.

And while I agree that the reasons for Social Anxiety may differ, I've found that there is one common root: an extreme desire for approval.

This drives the anxiety. When we want others' approval so bad, we become anxious when thinking about losing it. This fear becomes a discouraging spiral.

Fear of what you think --> Running from opportunities & ruin my life --> Regret & feel more discouraged

And it starts over again. Social Anxiety is discouraging. And so, to combat this, we need encouragement to take even the smallest step. You have no idea how many people I've talked to who were so happy to just be able say hello to someone. Encouragement is the lifeblood of overcoming Social Anxiety.

Ultimately, I'm trying to create a success spiral.

Take a small step --> Celebrate / track your win / see growth --> Get encouraged to take a bigger step

Little by little, this rewires us to let go of people's approval and live fulfilling lives.

I am not a therapist. But I have struggled with Social Anxiety for most of my life and have been involved with helping that community for years now too. This game is also one I've played for the past 7 years -- and it's helped me grow.

Some people may need a therapist. Others need a personal encourager
“ironically”? Loyalty is an obviously exploitable trait, so if you assume capitalist firms want to exploit labor as much as efficient, and there is a subset of labor more exploitable (better payoff for same effort at exploitation), its not ironic that they are particularly targeted for exploitation, it is expected.

I saw your sibling comment about "keeping it simple," however that is a bit counter to "generates OpenAPI specifications" since those for sure are not limited to just application/json request/response bodies

I wanted to draw your attention to "normal" POST application/x-www-form-urlencoded <https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/3.1.0/vers...> and its multipart/form-data friend <https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/3.1.0/vers...>

The latter is likely problematic, but the former is in wide use still, including, strangely enough, the AWS API, although some of their newer services do have an application/json protocol

I know that's a lot of words, but the tl;dr would be that if you want your extension to be application/json only, then changing the description to say "OpenAPI specifications for application/json handshakes" would help the consumer be on the same page with your goals
Running out of funding for duplicative small ideas.
> I'm all for improving the information (given it's private) that public transit service lines and scheduling planners have access to if it means smoother transit and especially less dependence on cars.

My dream is a CityMapper style app used to offer "virtual public transit" as the means to both collect this kind of info and actively use it to make transit better.

That is, say TFL were to offer up "virtual bus routes" that may or may not coincide with the real ones, and that feed other transit hubs.

Where they coincide with regular routes, the selling point would be that they'd hire cars to handle excess demand or gaps in service so you can guarantee pickup from any bus stop within x minutes as long as you plan a journey in the app. What's great about the tube is knowing you can just show up and there's "always" a train soon. Getting something like that for busses would be fantastic, and you can offset some of the cost of guaranteeing more frequent service by actually cutting the frequency of full-size scheduled buses on less used stretches as long as you guarantee on average shorter waits when people need it.

Maybe with some limitations - e.g. if not a "real" bus you might be shunted onto regular services at the nearest transit hub.

Where they don't coincide with regular routes, you use first/last mile data from the planning to try to guess at new routes to offer, and so when people book, they might get offered to go to a nearer pickup point that isn't a bus stop but where you're guaranteed to be picked up. There are some services sort-of like this, but usually as a separate thing, and it'd be great if it's fully integrated as a means to plug holes in service and test route changes.

I think there's a lot of chicken and egg going on with transit where likely viable routes aren't available because testing them out is difficult and expensive and gathering data on which routes might be useful likewise. If you can fill them with smaller, cheaper cars and dynamically test, I think it'd have the potential to get a lot more people to try to stick with public transport. Especially if it also offer "fallback" or combined options involving booking a taxi for all or part of it when even the virtual routes can cut it.

CityMapper is great for the planning in London, but that ability to offer "virtual routes" at scale is what would really change things.

I've been wanting to rewrite a side project SPA using htmx. I've never been that interested in Web Components, but it is an intriguing idea to use with htmx. It'd certainly make generating the HTML fragments server-side less complex to template.

On a side note about htmx. Really compelling concept, I wish there was a larger community around it. Chicken and the egg kind of a problem, but there just aren't a lot of resources (blog posts, videos, etc) compared to many other web frameworks. Basic stuff like how do integrate something like Auth0 auth into an htmx app.

I always keep a notebook around. But I use it an extremely short-term external cache system to offset my brain.

I jot down stuff I need exclusively for the current day. An issue number. The phrase " Bob about the thing". A doodle I make in order to give my hand something to do while I attend a meeting.

The pages become completely unintelligible very soon, sometimes during the same day. It is useful - taking something out of the head and putting it in paper allows me to spend less time worrying "I must make sure I don't forget that issue, I must email bob about the thing". Once the issue is addressed, or bob is emailed, 80% of the time the task is done, and the notebook has fulfilled its primary function.

Months from now, it will have become complete jibberish, I won't be able to understand any of it. But I can still enjoy the doodles.
