That's my impression, there's no existing staff or technical asset that can help you if you JUST DON'T GET IT.

Watching Tumbler and Twitter die because individuals essentially decided they didn't want us to have them anymore has been informative.
> What is a corporation if not a legal entity designed to launder responsibility?

Corporations (and other legal entities used for business) are legal fictions that allow people to pool capital for productive endeavors and yes, with limited liability on the parts of the owners, because we as a society decided that encouraging productive endeavors this way is better than the alternative.

In a world with no limited liability, you could happily wring the owner's neck if they screwed up, but I'd imagine society as a whole would be a lot poorer off, because very few people would take that risk to engage in productive endeavors.

> Have a problem with a service and you find out the company you bought from subcontracts to an LLC you've never heard of which in turn subcontracts to four other LLCs one of which is actually liable

It doesn't matter, because the company you actually paid money to is the one that's responsible to you.
Did not have that occur yet.
I wish more companies would do that. Just grind down the backlog and stabilize the code base. "Move fast and ... then go back and fix things."
That list of bullet points (except the compiler one) is also applicable to the whole async ecosystem in Rust :)
Grokking in Linear Estimators – A Solvable Model Groks Without Understanding
It sounds like you are saying "I like Rust and want to be able to write it professionally, so shut up and stop criticizing it, regardless of how valid your criticism is".

That's no way to do good work.
That, and on the flip side, the very American desire to beat the odds and get an especially high offer.
Mine too- I was a bonehead and bought a "3k" display for my w541. I've found that 100% scaling w/ "large text" enabled in accessibility settings strikes a good balance.
Diver sees something and calls a museum. Museum sends down an archaeology diver next day who confirms that there's something there and then 48 other groups collectively take credit for political purposes.

Or maybe I'm just jaded...
I've never thought about it this way but it makes a lot of sense. In a world where it looks like everyone is tweeting there are actually a lot of people not tweeting, you just don't hear about them because, well, they aren't tweeting!
Asking a token prediction model to do math is like asking a human to do math without doing the math. What's 9 times 9? I can tell you it's 81 from sheer memorization. I can probably invoke 9 x 9 + 1 = 82 without needing to do any calculation either. But if you ask me 32 * 64, that's very difficult to do without doing calculations. Implicitly doing math is not sensible.
chuckle I had Apple stock pre iPhone. What did I have to do in order to be rich? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. If I would have just quit working, hung out on a beach, and not sold any Apple stock, I would have made far more money than anything I have done since.

I mostly don't. I turn them off if they are imposed upon me and carry on without the distractions.
> Can I just say how absurd it is to call the government allowing developers to build new houses "tyranny"?

Yes, please do say this.

If anything in the system is tyranny-adjacent, it's zoning. Not to say I am against zoning holistically, but zoning is others telling you what you can and cannot do with your property. To characterize a liberalization of zoning as tyrannical is a great inversion.
The article says it used the transcript (since it's on YouTube I assume they mean the YouTube transcript).
Iambic Pentameter is just a rhythm to add a beat to the play. Its not something crazy influential, but its needed if you are to "perform" Shakespeare, in your head or on stage.

I bring it up because Iambic Pentameter is probably the only crazy thing that's "not done today" that's all over Shakespeares works (as well as the variations of Iambic Pentameter to keep the rhythm spicy).

And Iambic Pentameter is not so much a hard rule as it is a soft one. Most lines are IP... but when Shakespeare wants to emphasize certain lines, he'll change the rhythm up. So its a way to cue the audience in with a subtle change.
As far as I know, the proposal to add one was determined to need an RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/65875
> An async generator is a natural transformation from a generator: just like functions, generators can be marked async, and now you can use the await operator inside of them.

I don't see how that makes it a natural transformation.
I've just used an async generator when upgrading to aws-sdk v3, the function lists all the items in a s3 bucket, if its truncated then it yeilds a recursive generator.

Stops when it's got all the keys.

First time in 5 years writing typescript I've actually used a generator.
> Where is it better?
Imo, better is in Scandinavia, Finland, Netherlands, though I have not been to Finland. Every country in Scandinavia seem very comfortable for living.

When we were traveling around Scandinavia, on couple of occasions we stayed next to business centers on weekdays, once in Stockholm and once in Reykjavik. In the morning when I realized that there was a bunch of IT companies, while my wife was trying to arrange us some tourist stuff I was walking around and thinking if I should just go door to door and see if anyone has a job opening.

Typically countries and other states don't impress me that much when I travel as a tourist and I don't fall for "the food is so nice and people are so friendly" argument, but Iceland and Sweden, specifically Stockholm, really made an impression on me.

So yeah, Scandinavia, Northern Europe and maybe Canada? I have met a lot of Easter Europeans, Asians and some Americans there in seemingly all professions, not only specialized skills, so there must be some immigration pathways.
Professor Synapse is mind-blowing to watch in action. Link to source: https://github.com/ProfSynapse/Synapse_CoR
The problem isn’t just with Framework laptops, an increasing number of x86 laptops are built with odd resolution panels that require fractional scaling. Very few offer panels that are conducive to 2x integer scaling, and while typical lower DPI panels that don’t require scaling are a config option on some models, that often also comes with other major tradeoffs like low brightness or bad color reproduction.
I mean, I'd just leave my body cam in the toilet for the GPS.
JWST is observing the infrared only and has a narrow field of view.

Euclid is wide-angle with both visible and infrared capabilities.
Besides your answer on tokenization being right on the mark (gwern even has articles discussing this exact issue - https://gwern.net/gpt-3#bpes), that linked paper is extremely powerful for theoretical thinking about this problem. I literally just left a comment claiming that almost all of human thought is encoded in LLMs, leading almost all tasks to be considered interpolation.

If this is true, I suppose based on what we know of the curse of dimensionality it makes sense. Very thought-provoking work.
Tumblr remains one of the least worst social media websites, and Yahoo losing a billion dollars on it makes it all the sweeter.
Ask HN: Does anyone Lisp without Emacs?
EMACS and SLIME are the default development tools for Lisp. I have a desire to go deeper with Lisp but every time I approach it, my distaste for EMACS prevents me. My problem with EMACS is not so much that it's different, but the keyboard commands hurt my hands and I can't see using it long-term. I do Jiu Jitsu and practice guitar every day and I already find that I have to be somewhat protective of my hands and limit certain activities or I end up in lots of pain. I'm looking for viable alternatives to EMACS for Lisp, preferably something free because I'm just doing this as a hobby.
They ended up with twice the amount of money and some time wasted.
Yahoo Screen was an impressively bad product but that show was great. I remember ads legitimately interrupting the middle of a scene (not clearly designed ad break) and when the ad finished, the show didn't even resume where it left off. It was {ad length} seconds later as if the show kept going in the background and then you'd have to rewind.
But "its so difficult to find competent people", "it's just that hard", "you don't get it", and my favorite: "you think you could do a better job?".

At least I could crash the company without costing the company hundreds of millions.

Considering how every vendor has been shoving cloud, serverless, and anything-but-on-premise solutions down everyone's throat for the better part of the century so far, does that really surprise you?

It's shitty landlord syndrome all over again. Tenants should have the right to complain and wave their sharpened pitchforks at them.
The people on the zoning board are homeowners in the city! Of course they are going to zone things so that their neighborhood never changes. This is how it works in 99% of cities in the US and it’s terrible.
The problem is that they used a wide brush and made it next to impossible to have a hobby project that uses text messaging. My projects send maybe 3-4 text messages a week - to me - to notify me of stuff.

Before you just pay $20 to Twilio and that's enough to send messages for years. Now you have to create a fake "business" entry with them, pay them monthly, etc... It's not a lot of money, but I just don't want to deal with yet another monthly bill.

I basically switched to using my employer's Twilio account for personal stuff. They don't mind with my volume.
Absolutely. And reliability and feature-set is not measured by project activity about which people on here seem obsessed.
The people, in the U.S. We can strike down any federal statute, call a convention, and simply dissolve the federal government and create a new one whenever popularly desired.

There's no monopoly on arms in this country. Every able-bodied male between 17 and 45 is in the militia and we keep a gun behind every blade of grass.
For sure, Ecto.Changeset "client-side" validations are a powerful tool even without any Ecto.Repo to insert the validated changeset into. You can just take the validated Ecto.Changeset, and "bake it down" to either the new/modified data, or the delta, and use that. And you get proper per-DDD-use-case type-casting "for free", through Ecto.Changeset.cast invoking Ecto.Type.cast on all your schema fields.

Though! I would say that you might just as well be making a mistake by not at least considering the question, when you reach for "raw" Ecto.Changeset validation, of whether whatever subsystem this is that has all these database-like needs that you're plumbing your way into, is just a Greenspunning of a database — something you could potentially rip out and replace with a database, and in so doing, end up with an easier-to-understand, easier-to-maintain system. (It's "easier-to-understand" not in the sense that your system is now less complex; but rather in that the complexity is now constrained by a formal abstraction — one that allows reasoning about the behavior of that component on a higher level. It's the same reason you'd turn a generic server "with state", into a finite-state machine; or turn a generic recursive-descent parser into a PEG grammar.)

The Erlang runtime is nice, in that it has in-memory database-like features (e.g. ETS), that let you get pretty far in writing internal state-management logic, without using any kind of database. But when you find yourself writing code that relies on 1. taking complex user-submitted data, 2. validating it and casting it into domain types, 3. inserting it record-wise into an ETS table, 4. and then manually indexing that table across multiple fields... maybe it's time for a database!

(It doesn't have to be a big database. Or even one that involves any external dependencies. There's an Mnesia adapter for Ecto, which is a combination I've always found fascinating — especially in the context of a single-node, memory-only Mnesia setup. It's an ORM over transactionally-joined ETS tables! But of course, if you have control over your deploy-time environment and so can suffer a few native deps, then SQLite works great as your "internal database" too.)
Sadly Twitter is too big to fail and its best competitor is invite only. Mastodon wasn't ready for the windfall that would result, not even close.

Tumblr yeah. The general format of traditional blogging was already in trouble and Yahoo simply chopped off what that audience appreciated.

Factorio is fun but the way I play it was unhealthy—several hours of Factorio after 7 hours of sitting in front of a computer. I had to give it up to find a healthier lifestyle—e.g. running, hiking, or taking a walk in nature.

I do want to come back to Factorio since it's an awesome game, but currently I cannot find the good timing for it.
> Surely a lot of people are paying money for these video games, or else they would not be produced.

Absolutely. It is important for me to be clear that I do not believe video games are significantly less sexual overall.

I do think, however, that people's treatment of sexuality in media is dramatically different, and the amount of criticism and scrutiny that it receives outpaces most other social issues these days. This has led to at least a little bit of a chilling effect, as if you're a game developer, or anyone else producing media, you probably feel the pressure to be a lot more careful about exactly how you handle sexuality, as things have gotten a lot more cutthroat overall. That's not to say every consequence of this has been unilaterally bad, but I do personally believe that this leads to things that overall feel less authentic in a lot of cases. Personally, I like to see people's personal creative visions, uncompromised by concerns of how it will be perceived.

But socially and in media coverage, I do see what I personally would consider regressive. It feels like socially, the safest thing you can do is merely tolerate the existence of sexual content, and outwardly enjoying it can earn you some scrutiny. For example, A good amount of the NoFap crowd paints pretty much anyone who enjoys pornographic content as being pornsick. In addition to just them, there is a serious amount of scrutiny regarding the nature of sexual content, and there is a lot of pressure to be careful about how you openly enjoy things; the safest place to be is to merely tolerate sexuality rather than embrace it. If you do embrace it, you can count on it being scrutinized. If something you enjoy is considered problematic, such as a relationship with a power dynamic issue, it will be scrutinized-it doesn't matter that there's media like Game of Thrones filled to the brim with incest and other such content. (In fact, Game of Thrones has become almost cliche to bring up, not unlike Grand Theft Auto with regards to video game violence.)

I can see why my position seems startlingly inaccurate from some perspectives. That said, I do think there is something regressive going on, even if describing it as "puritanical" is perhaps a misstep, as it is clearly a lot more nuanced than that.
Sadly this doesn't actually provide any additional data for Bloomberg.
I understand your distinction I think...however the parent comment (about abolishing citizenship) is still (on the face of it) advocating anarchy. Degrees of citizenship must exist always, even when the "official" line is that none do - as you state even in the case of "equal citizenship" there is still the degree of citizen, and non-citizen, so really you can never remove that (without also removing government).

Being in the position of abolishing _birthright_ citizenship is a very different stance than abolishing the practice of citizenship outright. I think you are speaking of "second class citizenship" e.g. immigrants or temporary who do in fact benefit from and are expected to follow the laws of the land, but who do not get e.g. voting rights.

I.e. perhaps the view is the equalize all practical citizens under the law (which is possible but difficult to do wrt to land ownership and community security, especially).
No. I haven't seen ads other than the occasional spam email that gets through the filter in years and I make every effort to avoid using a web browser (by using RSS, yt-dlp, wallabag, etc) to keep my personal attention economy a command economy.

Thanks for the considerate reply.

I have learned for myself that God exists, that he cares, this life is not the beginning or the end, that our choices matter, and that the commandments he gives us (like the 10 commandments, as an example) are to help us get through this life and prepare to receive the blessings he has promised based on our choices.

I have written more of why I know this, at my web site (in profile).

All the best to you.
I think you keep stretching it.

Most coworking places are clean, organized, have snacks, do not have Wi-fi issues. Most of them also have contracts in english or don't even ask you for a contract at all.

I keep not seeing the moat. The customer you describe "picky and willing to pay double normal rates when travelling to foreign countries" is quite of a niche use case.

Most people simply find the coworking that is closest to their hotel/train station.
I agree, it should be taken really seriously.

I think 4 years worth of a feature being out in the wild and in use is enough time to start having conversations about what went well and what didn't and how to address that. Its very clear to me, at least, that async in Rust is becoming more and more dependent on tokio. Most of the major async supporting crates support tokio and/or only leverage tokio. Just a cursory glance at the crates registry supports this much.

I'm not against a "pull in a crate" mentality mind you (though, careful what you wish for here, see: NPM / Node ecosystem) however, it is worth identifying when something is becoming / has become / is considered to be such a core feature of the ecosystem that it would benefit greatly from stdlib support, and I think this fits that definition based on the evidence I've seen, at least. Though I realize others may not share this sentiment, I think its a viewpoint that has evidentiary backing (see all the talk about async Rust in the communicate, issues etc surrounding it. Its already a pretty big buzz topic relative to other things surrounding the language)

All this is to say, maybe its time to seriously start thinking about what first party support will look if we bring in a first party async / non-blocking I/O platform into the stdlib
I'd add: Ignorance of the concept of hyperbole.

Apple Brings 'High Power Mode' to 14-Inch MacBook Pro
I my experence with teams as long as you

1. require reviews before merging

2. have not very disjunct PRs (sometimes for e.g. legacy maintenance projects you mostly have disjunct PRs normaly you do not)

then you need stacked PRs for productivity, i.e. you need to be able to continue working on a new PR based on the old PR before that is fully merged (or reviwed).

In this case in my experience three workflow work:

1. you (may) squash commits, and rebase stacked PRs once the previous PR has been merged (or sometimes majorly modified, but that quite advanced rebase usage). This works but has some major pain points: 1) rebased during reviews are terrible bad handled by github, 2) git doesn't keep track of the original start of a branch, this can lead to issues if you squash the commits when merging, 3) no good build in tooling for it

2. All forms of history manipulation are forbidden including rebasing and squashing. It's merge only because of this git doesn't get confused when merging squashed commits and everything seems fine... Until you now realize that follow up changes from reviews of a parent PR happen in the git history chronologically after your follow up PR and that can be a total pain depending on what changes. (Through you are allowed to fully rebase your history before marking a PR as ready for review so as long as the "stack" of PRs isn't too deep it's fine).

3. you agree with Linus that github PRs have major issues and go with a patch based approach for merging, now you need completely different tooling which often less nice modern UI but id doesn't have any of the issues of point 1 or 2

It's was quite a wtf are you doing industry moment when I realized that the most widely used contributions flows (weather in open source or in companies) are either quite flawed (1&2), productivity nightmares (no stacked commits) or quite inconvenient (3).
Yeah. I subscribe to the theory of conservation-of-cool. You get to either build something cool with something boring, or something boring with something cool.
The us is in desperate shape with the housing policies that we have leading to a tremendous lack of housing availability in many large cities in the west where it's harder to spread out. California but also Seattle is another city. There's a shortage of housing, the housing that exists gets more expensive because there's more competition to get in, people are pushed farther out, the high prices push many to eventually living in cars, there's no place for low income people to go. This contrasts with Chicago where there's apparently a lot of low income housing.

This high price of living is also another cause of lower birthrates among young people today, because everything is harder and more expensive.
Tell HN: LinkedIn suspended my account for engaging with a spam recruiter
- Like most here, I loathe LinkedIn but find it useful for incoming recruiter interest

- I was recently contacted by a user named "Teodor" in the crypto/blockchain industry with a job offer in the ZK space

- I asked "Teo" to send a job description before having a call. He obliged, sending me this[1] job ad

- I responded positively "Hey sounds nice, send the hiring manager my CV and let's see what they say"

- I go to login to LinkedIn today, only to find out that I'm suspended! Mind you, I have never created a LinkedIn post in my entire life (ew!)!. I only respond (respectfully) to recruiters.

- I only found out I was suspended because LinkedIn tried to get me to solve a captcha about 20 times before I finally clicked "Forgot Password", at which point in time it mentioned I was suspended.

- As you can see, the job ad[1] is now unavailable. The only explanation I can think of is that "Teo" was some bot/troll account? And I was suspended by "AI" because I merely engaged with the account? I didn't even accept the Connection Request from the account.

- Can't say I'm surprised by still sucks :/
