> Not everyone believes in this "gender identity" bullshit, and we shouldn't be forced by the law to accede to the demands of its acolytes.

This feels like a very hateful take. For anyone who needs to hear this: not everyone is like this and a lot of people actually support you in finding your best selves and living happy lives. I'm sorry you have to deal with this.

Debating the extent of the law and how it should be applied is okay, the tone doesn't seem that way to me.

Why? Sure, Ireland would get a one-off tax boost, but then all the firms that had structured their business this way would no longer have a reason to invest in Ireland at all.
Depends on the park. Some are known for it. Parents know to keep their kids away from those parks. For that reason, it’s better to have one really cruisy park that everyone knows about and can easily avoid but which also acts to contain the pervs. Maybe Omegle closing will just make the predators harder to spot and keep away from?
It's not and plenty of pieces of art only exist in good quality today because of what you think is theft. You're wrong and things are not black and white.
> “There are buyers that aren’t going to know the steps to buy a home,” Davis said. “They have to pay for a down payment, closing costs, appraisals, inspections. If they also have to come up with money to pay for a buyer’s agent, some just won’t and they’ll get in over their heads or they won’t buy at all. Not having representation will make the market less inclusive.”

The entire buyer’s agent system is absurd right now. The buyer’s agent supposedly represents the buyer, but they have an extremely strong incentive to get their client to close on a purchase at all, and a secondary incentive to get their client to pay as much as possible. If anything, it seems to me that this is the wrong kind of inclusive — if anything, it pushes people to buy a house even when they shouldn’t.

There should absolutely be agents of a sort who can represent a person or family who is considering buying a house and for whom buying at all is not obviously the right decision, but the current fee structure does not encourage good representation of this sort.
I don't think the court would be satisfied by those, because they're both abstract hypotheticals. I think they want a specific person harmed in an explicit, documented way (e.g. Bob Smith has erectile dysfunction and had his reputation damaged because he was bombarded with ED ads in his car during a date, because the car manufacturer read his texts and used them to make an ad profile).
I see this a lot reverse engineering programs made for an older ISA from the 90s called SH4. Its a 32-bit RISC that uses 16-bit instructions[1] and is therefore unable to load more than 8 bits of arbitrary immediate data (sometimes 12 but usually 8) into a register without spreading the operation over several instructions so most functions will have large blocks of data at the end (and sometimes even in the middle, because it needs to get a pointer to the data by offset from the PC and the instruction format is limited to 8 bit offsets) where they load in constant values and pointers. I'm pretty sure gcc even does this. I see it so often it never occurred to me this would be unusual on other CPUs.

[1] doubles the effective size of the instruction cache and also makes dual pipelines easier to implement because they can both fetch from the same bus at the same time. Legend has it that this was successful enough to be the inspiration behind thumb mode on ARM, which is also a 32 bit ISA with 16 bit instructions.
This case has been going on for 7 years already, if the plane hasn't got there yet it's not coming.
Show HN: I made Jackson-module-Kotlin without Kotlin-reflect
It is lightweight and fast because it does not use kotlin-reflect, and offers other advanced features such as value class support.
The results of this project will eventually be reflected in jackson-module-kotlin.

Not to quibble, but...

- Fuel taxes are national policy, not EU ?

- Electricity was stupid high mainly because of the war ? (and FWIW "green" is not yet king - given that there is still new coal capacity coming online [thanks, Poland] in spite of its utter stupidity)

- Agreed that natural gas policy is kind of all over the place - policy is lagging reality

The EU is not rich in own energy resources, so placing taxes & other restrictions imports keeps cash at home to plow into renewables - improving security of supply.

So I'm still not convinced that the EU has got it willfully wrong.
It did work for WeWork actually lol..

I kept seeing them pop up in strange places as I traveled the country for work; but I hadn’t ever met any business who used them, and I kept seeing them headline HN about being the next great unicorn.

I thought it was strange that I didn’t know at least a single person in my business network with any experience of WeWork; most said “Who?”

Then I later asked some of my non tech common folk friends if they knew anyone with any type of experience with WeWork. Same response lol..

Wasn’t long after that headlines started to come up in the news about turmoil.

Rule 1: If everyone loves it including toddlers; it’s a good buy

Rule 2: If your gut tells you something isn’t right; prod around and get some feedback on your instinct. If things aren’t adding up, just stay away. It’s not worth the risk or effort if things are fishy. Things might not unravel immediately, but usually where there is smoke, there is fire.

If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, and even looks like a duck… It’s probably a duck honk honk :)

which is exactly why I always bracket stuff, almost to a fault. I've seen almost exactly this in a piece of shipped code which meant a crucial condition would never trigger. Cost of that? Possibly hundreds of millions or even higher. I'm not exaggerating.

This is why I totally hate the tower of precedence in C-style languages.

Are you trying to say their efforts were worthwhile or futile? And then the writer is going to do much better if they change the story to become clearly either "FALL" or "FALL, RISE" -- instead of a muddy in-between.

Plenty of good stories have ambiguous endings. That’s actually one of the issues with this article - even when things are abstracted to the point of absurdity like they are here, it still doesn’t cover all stories.

London and other major cities are a positive signal of growth and product market fit.

Then analyze the inverse of this as a control test.

But the people in the suburbs and sticks have never heard of said company before.

What else am I supposed to use
My point is that "stable diffusion" is just about the most-arbitrary and least-applicable example you could surface. It runs on so many different types of hardware that bragging about it on Mac is like boasting about having a rich-text word processor. If memory serves, Stable Diffusion didn't even have acceleration on Mac until Apple gave in and pushed GPU acceleration patches to Pytorch.

It's going to be a subjective matter regardless of how either of us frame it. I've played this game before, I know how it works. The base-spec Macbook Pro 14 is more insulting than both the 13" it replaced and the 14" base-model it undercut. That is how I feel.

> Why not actually go to an apple store and try one, they're on display.

Because I spent the first half of this decade porting software to Apple Silicon, and before that I daily-drove Mac for years. Compared to 10 years ago, the amount of respect Apple affords me is nonexistent. If you don't remember the times when we took functionality for granted, I really do pity you.
That's not a sufficient explanation for non-instantaneous transfers of $50.
There's no right or wrong angle here. There's the useful or not useful angle.

Python was designed to call into C. It was always the solution to make Python fast: write the really slow parts in C and it might just turn out that will make the whole thing fast enough. Again: this is by design.

The languages and VMs you list were designed to be fast enough without calling into C. If you need that, great, use them.

People saying 'Python is slow' miss the point. It was never meant to be fast, it was always meant to be fast enough without qualifiers like 'no C'. If it isn't fast enough or otherwise not useful, don't use it, you've got plenty of alternatives.
Sounds like a good subject of Fourier analysis.
Nothing to do with disagreeing with the court. That case does not seem particularly relevant to the bill, but is excellent flame bait. And the smug North American comment does nothing to further the discussion either.

Reminds me of "The Conceptual Penis as a Social Construct", my favorite hoax paper.

https://www.skeptic.com/downloads/conceptual-penis/23311886.... [pdf]

And the breakdown of the hoax:

https://www.skeptic.com/reading_room/conceptual-penis-social...

An excerpt:

> We conclude that penises are not best understood as the male sexual organ, or as a male reproductive organ, but instead as an enacted social construct that is both damaging and problematic for society and future generations. The conceptual penis presents significant problems for gender identity and reproductive identity within social and family dynamics, is exclusionary to disenfranchised communities based upon gender or reproductive identity, is an enduring source of abuse for women and other gender-marginalized groups and individuals, is the universal performative source of rape, and is the conceptual driver behind much of climate change.

Apple is the 4th largest computer maker by market share [0]. Lenovo is more than 2 1/2 times their size.

Your argument is akin to "Porsche should lower their prices. They could do better. Competition should force that."

Apple has a particular niche in the market similar to Porsche. Steve Jobs even tells the story of that (sorry, don't have a link handy for that story at the moment).

Apple is a premium company. They have premium prices. I can complain about their prices all day long just like for Porsche, but I'm still going to buy their products if I think they're worth it. I just make sure to keep them for a long time - iphones for 4 years, and computers for 6 - which makes it worth it to me to spend on larger ram and storage.

Side note:

Take a look at Louis Vuitton handbags [1]. They're way overpriced. But there are tons of them out there if you look for them. Most of the bags on that page are more expensive than most Apple computers. That tells me that Apple knows what they are doing, and the rest of the PC market does not.

Block lattice relies on private ledgers owned by the 2 parties of a transaction. It then consolidates those ledgers which is how it saves energy. If you’re giving someone else access to change that ledger, it’s no more decentralized than cash.

> And cash does?

Cash doesn’t, but it also doesn’t claim to provide decentralization or enforce contracts without state involvement. The entire purpose of crypto is to remove state involvement from contracts, which it fails to do.

Trash cans aren't viable because of shortcomings in our infrastructure; we don't have alleyways. Large apartment buildings use dumpsters or basement trash rooms, but you can't exactly cart those out on to the sidewalk. Street side pickup is the only option barring rebuilding the city, and a garbage man isn't picking up an entire trash can. Having a truck pick up the garbage can would also encounter issues with space and time. That's how we landed on our current... well... "solution".

Also trash cans aren't foolproof. I've encountered more than a few of the critters digging through our refuse, along with a trash panda once or twice. The bags aren't rat proof either; it's not that they rip, but rather the rats chew through.

Complicated problem with a lot of legacy infrastructure debt.
Even tasks which are not 3D but are simply managing the application itself are quite hard in Blender. So you have a double hit: first 3D modeling is quite hard, but then the application itself is also unintuitive. If it were only one or the other then it would be more manageable.
The overlap between street preacher and ‘person who is disturbed and possibly having some sort of episode’ is unfortunately high where I am. I think that engaging would increase stabbings.

No, you wouldn't. You could have taken out a HELOC for a tiny portion of your appreciation over those years to pay your fair share of taxes, the way people do in literally every other state.

I know how LLMs operate in that degree. My point is that I can't for the life of me understand sentences like "You should not expect intelligence from token prediction" when you neither understand the operations of intelligence in the brain nor what the computation that preceeds any prediction means.

Even if you somehow did, why does GPT have to be a brain to be intelligent any more than a plan has to be a bird to fly.

The modular design presented by Fairphone is great for ecology and easy repairs (I own a FP 3+) but, as a downside, it also makes your phone more fragile.

In particular, the phone is very susceptible to water. Having carried it for 1.5h in my pocket during rain caused permanent damage to the camera and charging module - something to keep in mind if you're an outdoor type of person.

On a plus side, the customer service was excellent and the repairs were straightforward, but with a better sealed phone I might not have had to perform them at all.
Headline: In a race to the bottom, EU puts trampoline under Ireland
> isn’t it well worth it to accept the risk and continue? The world couldn’t possibly function any other way

Had a friend who started a social network website at his parents house. Pushing 20 million monthly users. Death threats, competition uploading illegal content and then reporting it, whistleblowers and more threats, people having beef and looking for arbitration, more threats for getting banned etc. He become extremely stressed, stopped going out, paranoia kicked in and then suicide attempts. His friends helped him close the site and he "recovered".

But lesson here is - if you don't have a deep wallet, right mindset and access to therapist, don't start a website today or keep it small and off the main internet.
You have a point with "would be to never hire someone to do work you've not done yourself", but I can't agree with your specific suggestion on how to handle that - instead, my recommendation would be to rely on someone you trust who has done that thing, and use their help to judge expertise and validity of candidates.

It may well be that you're not qualified to hire marketers or developers, but while there's nothing wrong with getting qualified for things, that probably isn't your priority right now, so you should spend that month on doing things that matter and "simply" get someone already qualified to do that task.

And while there are many reasons why you couldn't or wouldn't hire a friend for that role, using your personal contacts to fill gaps in expertise will be very, very important; because you can't simply buy a combination of expertise and trust anywhere.
Customer data likely exposed in attack on "Mr Cooper"
If you ask two separate candidates "what is 1 + 1?" and one responds "2" and the other responds "37" but played a card game when they were young, would you hire the latter? (hypotheticals are cheap, but you get my point)
They exist. I knew a fantastic agent (now retired, sadly), with a highly unusual business model. His clients would find a house on their own, via Zillow or whatever. Then they would negotiate a fee structure with the agent. The agent would help them inspect the house, help them negotiate effectively, and did not push for a purchase or a high price at all. If the deal closed, he would take his fee and write the client a check for any commissions from the seller in excess of the fee.

(But he would also offer to try to convince the seller to modify the terms to sell at the same effective received price but without paying a commission and the collect the commission from the buyer. This would usually be favorable from a tax perspective, as including the buyer’s agent fees in the “price” increases the transfer taxes.)
