I enjoyed looking through the DAK catalogs as a kid. At some point I developed into a bit of a snob and looked down at cheap stuff and DAK rubbed me the wrong way.

The Sharper Image on the other hand, woo! Cool things, expensive things. Really enjoyed those.

J. Peterman is notorious for its purple prose, it's kind of the opposite of DAK. Expensive stuff, trying to exude a sense of exclusivity. On the other hand it does have the same approach of a supposedly dedicated proprietor curating a particular kind of product for their customers.

I would really love to get a hold of some of the Calumet Photo catalogs from the early 90s. The zenith of analog cameras and processes all bound up in a super slick collection.
That's digital and involved copyright though.

If I go pry the OEM badge off a Ford car and try to re-sell it... it doesn't matter that its a Ford part or that Ford doesn't sell it to the public (only with a car, might be wrong here, but go with me)
WeWork was publicly traded on the NYSE with ticker WE, it went public via a spac in March 2021
The "We" corporation is just fulfilling its mission by transforming into a new stage of consciousness.
> Germany's median wealth per adult is a mere $66,000. They should be asking some serious questions.

Isn't that because most of that "wealth" is from inflated prices of houses? Over 50% of germans rent so over the median point, in US only 34%.
If Google pulls a stunt like this could it be grounds for some kind of discrimination lawsuit?

It seems to me like they are effectively trying to limit your OS choice to one they have sanctioned. What if you want to compile and run your own OS?
At least with SQL you can just consistently wrap stuff in transactions, so if you break something you can always revert.
Or the creditors vote for liquidation and WeWork is no more...
>Would be like saying that spending money in preserving corrosion on the original standard meter is a waste because now we can buy cheap plastic rules everywhere.

No, it's like saying it's a waste to create a replica of the original standard meter because it is no longer used to determine the length of a meter.

These paintings were likely useful, their continued use is less clear.
Adam Neumann is literally the landlord on most of their best-located places. That's why. WeWork gave his real estate company loans to buy buildings to then rent back to WeWork.
This only affected pre-BLE models when the owner did not have the key. It's no worse than when an ICE vehicle owner loses their key; it's just that typically with a Tesla, you can start it from the app in that situation.
And of course there was an Amiga package for it: http://www.hugolyppens.com/VBS.html
Will he continue to spray his new potential investigators with fire extinguishers to solidify potential rounds of funding?

> In late 2015, WeWork was completing an investment round led by Beijing-based Hony Capital Ltd. that pushed its valuation to $16 billion. Mr. Neumann invited its CEO, John Zhao, to a party at 110 Wall Street, where WeWork was about to open its first WeLive dormlike apartment building. Toward the end of the night, Mr. Neumann led others to the roof of the 27-story building. There, guests passed around tequila shots. Mr. Neumann picked up a fire extinguisher and set it off, spraying Mr. Zhao and others with white foam.

> The deal went through. Mr. Zhao joined WeWork’s board in July 2016.

Sorry, could you elaborate? Was it the annoucement from OpenAI?
I learned in training to trust your motorcycle to keep it's footing when you encounter quick losses of traction.

They had a bike that was equipped with a roll-cage, like an exoskeleton that prevented it from actually flipping but did allow it to lay over enough such that it would. Then they sent the bike through excessive lean angles across slippery surfaces.

The riders who adjusted for the slippage wrecked, the ones who just allowed the bike to fish a little didn't.

Of course that's assuming you aren't too close to the threshold, etc.

But it was eye opening to learn to just kind of hang on and trust the machine a bit.
Why sha256 hash the user into to get a two character target directory? Wouldn't md5 be much faster and solve the same problem?
I'm not sure if the tts is better than eleven labs. English audio sounded really good, but the Spanish samples I've generated are off a bit. It definitely sounds human, but it sounds like an English native speaker speaking Spanish. Also I've noticed on inputs just a few sentences long, it will sometimes repeat, drop, or replace a word. The accent part I'm okay with, but the missing words is a big issue.
They couldn't use the app on their phone that relies on making API calls which then trigger additional network calls from Tesla to the car

This is different from Phone Keys that rely on Bluetooth or NFC and don't go over the network
Putting money into a savings account that netted you on average 0.2% yield APR is a great example of a dumb fucking decision.

Thank God Americans aren't dumb enough to let their money rot in an account that gives virtually no benefit.

It's different, because this time he is only getting funding by putting up his hundreds of millions of dollars worth of real estate (bought using his WeWork money) as collateral.
It's a prerequisite to be a fool to invest in, or start, a business of the startup subtype. This isn't a bad thing™ on its own if there a path to something that can also be a mildly or wildly profitable business. One issue is not every founder can become a CEO, and that's okay. And not every startup->business CEO wears the CFO hat enough of the time to keep their numbers on a sustainable trajectory. That's one of the differentiators between startup CEOs and corporate CEOs.

For every wildly-ambitious founder or founder team, they need to bend an ear toward the sage advice of a conservative corporate CFO to ensure the venture stays alive and has a chance to thrive. Surrounding oneself with "toxic economic positivity" is a recipe for failure.
On modern cars with ABS you can’t lock the wheels, can you?
If it works when the car isn't at Tesla service, then it potentially has something to do with privacy.
So what pin do we need to tape over this time?
I feel like I dodged a bullet being declined by Flow. I didn't know it was run by Neumann when I was interviewing, but I think he's a complete idiot and I don't think I would enjoy working for him.
Yes, but the risk of being killed or not wanting to get honked at eventually makes pedestrians abide by the crosswalk signs on average, even if they jump into the crosswalk early and linger in it too late.

Knowing there is no risk of a deranged or distracted driver hitting pedestrians will make them even more aggressive. People are underestimating how impatient a bunch of midtown commuters will be when they know theres nothing preventing them from continuing their multi block walk completely uninhibited by traffic signals.

X restructuring curtails disinformation research, spurs legal fears
I've found that it works well enough in practice - here's a really simplified but still robust version: https://chat.openai.com/share/438d2429-f5ff-4eb2-8771-f3e206...
It seems like for that to work, you'd need to be mostly reliant on day-pass-type customers rather than longer-term ones -- if I were looking for a permanent arrangement to house a small team, say, I'm not sure I'd want to sign with someplace I knew was only going to last until they found a permanent tenant. But I think the day-pass people, in practice, are a pretty small percentage of total revenue.

Same, time is like that too. I’m not an sure if this video is entirely accurate but the scale of time and how infantile our current entire universe along with how it’s evolution is depicted can be difficult for me to comprehend

WeWork pushed incumbents like Regus to simplify the onboarding process.

In the olden days, getting a Regus desk required an office tour appointment, followed by paperwork. Now they have an app, and nobody needs to send or receive a PDF.
When I search it says this is a chapter 11 bankruptcy, and it says that means its a restructuring. What does this really mean? So can we see we work come back again ? Or is we work as we know it never going to come back?
Ok then go remake it with 4gb of stolen content instead of stealing 2.3 billion images.
I finished what will hopefully be my last 2->3 transition ever back in 2021. 6 months, ~180 commits, and 3,000-odd files in that single PR, after years of preparatory work by others. I needed a sabbatical after that.
Makes sense, thanks. I've so far stuck with "whole" for my own experiments, which is slower and more expensive, but it's a more asynchronous use case compared to Aider.
No, the creditors have already voted:

> The Company maintains the strong support of its key financial stakeholders and has entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (“RSA”) with holders representing approximately 92% of its secured notes to drastically reduce the Company’s existing funded debt and expedite the restructuring process.
I’ve definitely felt this when hydroplaning in Houston

Ali Express has an office in San Mateo, California...

Ali Express is one of the largest merchantile organizations in the world by shipment volume, and one of the largest importers of record in the U.S.

U.S. Customs provides customs records to local taxing authorities, who have always had the power of taxation over imported goods. (Import taxes aka customs duties have been around since at least Ancient Mesopotamia, circa BC 1900.)
IBM seems to mainly grow by buying companies and milking support dollars, while keeping a skeleton crew for the product.

There's also all the AI hype after Watson.

They don't have much hardware left outside of the Z-Machine mainframes which are pretty cool.

Yes, though I haven't done any web development in a decade, so it's more of an enabling technology since I couldn't be bothered to relearn everything. I wrote most of an Anki replacement in a weekend recently and i don't want to even think about how long it would've taken me without chatgpt. Realistically I would've given up.
Site is timing out unfortunately. HN hug? Unrelated but this sort of thing really shines a light on just how few people click a link before upvoting based purely on the headline.
That audience is sort of immaterial to the argument.

If you have a firm that's committed to a frozen image of the platform on a specific date, they'll stick with existing products or modest riffs on it. The same premise is why we'll still see Z80 and 8051 derivatives until long past the heat death of the universe.

This is more about why a firm like STMicro doesn't need to freak out too much about RISC-V. There's no reason they 1) can't continue to sell ARM alongside RISC-V for the more change-averse audience and 2) leverage their established reputation in onboard-peripherals, toolchain, and documentation as their competitive edge.

Done right, this can be a real "commoditize your compliment" play: they can focus less effort on the boring "core CPU" functionality of their MCUs and divert it for the parts of the product they can offer a stronger case for.
Reading research from the past.

There are several papers/books in math, economics, logic, philosophy, etc. from the past 200 years that I've been interested in reading but have never had a structured plan to go about it. I've occasionally just read random stuff.

This year I started a project where I write some thoughts on a handful of papers/books from 100, 150, and 200 years ago. Here's the result from 1923 [1], and I'm nearly finished with 1873.

Organizing the reading like this has kept the scope manageable and the project fun. Hopefully, it's something I'll continue into the future.

Yeah I remember Regus office space commercials well before WeWork offering single offices/flex spaces. They even had shared reception you could subscribe to.
> fill in bubbles

Sounds like scan-tron testing, don’t forget your #2 pencil!
Regus has been selling that for ages and ages. They have more locations in more cities in more countries, too. If they're not as well-known, I'm guessing it's because they're just a boring old real estate company and not a SoftBank-fueled moon rocket.
> That's why it's critical motorcycle riders practice emergency braking. You have to practice it enough to make it muscle memory.

Indeed threshold braking (which is what this is) is a very important skill to practice for a motorcycle rider.

However, that said, while folks can practice the maneuver, what is very difficult to practice is the situation. It’s one thing to practice on a dry parking lot in front of a cone or tennis ball.

It’s quite another to practice on the street in a crummy intersection with an F-150 turning left in front of you.

It’s always important to have data like this, talking about limits of systems, our role and impact as riders with such systems. This is a good video (all of Ryan’s stuff is excellent).

But I have seen others actually advocate switching ABS off, and I think that’s a bit irresponsible. Off road is a different problem, and a complicated environment for an ABS system. The track is another controlled space where folks can test limitations. Many bikes offer the ability to disable ABS systems (as a first class concept) just for these reasons.

But neither of those are the street. There are a lot of situations where straight line stopping is not necessarily the correct response. ABS is a boon in more cases than it’s not when it comes to emergency maneuvers.

The street is complex and unforgiving. Anyone who’s been in the community for any length of time knows about very skilled, even professional, riders that the street has taken from their families.

I love motorcycles and riding. I have for a very long time. And my simple rule is I don’t recommend it to anyone. It’s very dangerous. As riders, these systems are excellent, and get better every year.

Practice threshold breaking, by all means. Practice everything. But on the street, you need every edge. Leave your ABS on.
Tbh the best bit of advice I ever got for learning vim is to keep a sticky note on your monitor with 5-10 motions you want to learn, and replace it once you've started using them consistently.

Start with h, j, k, l, w, b, a, i, o, esc

It speaks to what the implant has achieved. Going from barely walking in his own words to walking 6KM is a solid and easily relatable improvement (it is a news article).

You might say that your car could now drive 20 miles if before it was known that it barely made it to the end of the road.

I'd love to have a GPT for language learning, granted this would also require vocal inputs and audio.
You use mostly ChatGPT for finding information? When I use it I still double check it's output with a google or duckduckgo search, if I don't something I know is outright wrong.
Yes. He's referring to OpenAI releasing custom GPTs. They're clearly starting to move up the stack.
I'm having a hard time finding an image, but I think that the plastic apple (which also illuminates) is not completely flush with the lid - it protrudes slightly from it, or the edges are recessed, and it is slightly rounded.

I'm also probably mixing it up with the older, proper-coloured (black) MacBooks. Someone will be able to give a better answer soon!
On the coasts its a weird reverse class signifier in a way.
Only someone of enough means to live in a HCOL city and afford to pay for Ubers could survive into their 40s with no ability to drive.

Knowing how to drive even in a city, because you might occasionally need to is a far more normie middle class thing.

I'm on a work trip in a HCOL city running $80/day in Ubers. If I was in a more cheapskate company they'd probably had made me rent a Hertz and drive myself for the week rather than blow $500 on Ubers. Knowing I'd never be put in that situation by an employer is another class signifier.
That's a neat article, but the picture referencing an "escort card" has sent me down a crazy rabbit hole. This is some grade A 19th cringey, red-pill style flirting! I can just see the catalog saying "Cat got your tongue? Women looking at other men? Order our stylish escort cards and you won't be left sitting on our fence! Only five cents!" Look at these insane things: https://www.messynessychic.com/2015/04/21/the-19th-century-e...

Half of them have the gall to ask that they be returned if the lady doesn't want to go home with them. Those cards aren't free, after all! And the default-yes "do nothing if you want to sleep with me" wording, my god!

Twitter charges 42 thousand a month for enterprise API access. Why would Sony pay 500 thousand a year to make posting screenshots to Twitter slightly easier?

It has nothing to do with whether or not the PS5 is a walled garden or their feelings on Twitter as a platform. They liked it enough to add the feature in the first place, and when it didn't make financial sense, due to some highly questionable choices by the new CEO, they discontinued it. If Musk had any business sense he would have let them keep posting for free to drive up engagement, but he's obviously made some bad decisions and dramatically tanked the value of Twitter compared with what he paid for it so I can't speak to what drives his decision making process.

You still can easily post your PS5 media to Twitter, you just have to do it yourself instead of use the built in PS5 sharing feature. Much like most PC games that function without a dedicated Twitter sharing feature.
Love, life, people and planet.

When I was young I spent a lot of time blinded by rappers with their spinning wheels and crowds of hangers-on which drastically lead me astray — being from a single parented poverty stricken family in the London it wasn’t exactly hard.

Since then I have been through so many different stages to get to the point of contentment with whatever life throws my way.

Within this contentment I have found that the things I truly care about are (as cliché as it sounds) not the things which can be bought but the things which connect me to other beings.

The realisation and acceptance of the inevitable end of life has made me realise that we will all cease to exist within a generation, our memory will cease within two, our entire footprint within three.

From this I found my passion was not buying things to distract me nor was my desire to be remembered long after I pass. It is to enjoy the now, make others feel the love I never felt until I reached my mid 30s, lift people out of bad places where possible and do my utmost to appreciate this breathtakingly beautiful planet we call home.

Cheesy, I know

"Disputed" is frequently misinterpeted as something like "50/50". It would not accurately reflect the real situation in the homeopathy scenario.
I don’t think there’s a founder who has at one point been running a company over $1BN in value who would have trouble finding venture capital for their next thing.

I sincerely believe if SBF or Holmes were raising money for a new startup today, they’d have at least a few notable names lined up to throw money their way.

There’s a famous NFL quote from the general manager of the Arizona Cardinals that goes, “I've said this before - If Hannibal Lecter ran a 4.3 (40-yard dash) we'd probably diagnose it as an eating disorder.”

It’d be “worth a shot” as it were.
Valid question that shouldn't be downvoted, IMO. One answer is that as long as there are worse people doing worse things, it's not immoral to build and use whatever tools are needed to stop them.

Note the last few minutes in this very video, for instance.
That works great for people who live close to the equator in somewhere with timezones that reflect the sun. Many regions are not like that though.

In the middle of Europe (Paris, Berlin) the time the sun is visible varies by over 5 hours, and if you go further north it's even worse. Where I live it is already dark when I leave work at 5pm. Three months ago, it was brighter at 10pm.

Many regions have timezones that are too big. In Europe at the east of the CET timezone the sun rises at 6:36. At the west it is 8:16 - nearly two hours difference!

China is even more extreme, although they have one time people in the west of the country start their days later, so if you are in the office at 8am in Beijing, although it's 8am in western cities too, you don't know if people are in the office or not. At that point timezones have lost thier value, as you can't use them alone for scheduling.
Congratulations :) The same thing happened to me about 12 years ago. I'd tried Vim a few times and it didn't grab me, but then suddenly it clicked and I haven't looked back.

Not sure if you've seen this, but worth working through, sooner or later (no rush): https://learnvimscriptthehardway.stevelosh.com/

A discipline I wished I'd learned earlier was don't let your vimrc grow too big. Instead, keep carving parts of it off into plugins. Track everything in Git.

The best thing I got out from my past employment at IBM is an eye-bee-m t-shirt that I (obviously) bought at the company store.

This t-shirt, the all-IBM I-shaped brutalist building I worked at, and the customer demo mainframe idly blinking in the lobby all evoked the mighty past of a company bled dry by its senior management. Even the company store selling branded knick-knacks, it somehow made me very proud to work at such a centenary company.

The company I left IBM for? Yeah, it's just another Fortune 10 soul-less corporation in a nondescript glass building. Not that IBM wasn't, but at least you could see the computing history on the walls.

Exactly - I had raised the question in another WeWork post. Sort of the Uber model.. BYORE.

Much better business model to just take a cut of a fee than take on all the lease risk for a startup.
