Row and col lines are so close nowadays; you are fighting physics... Older processes didn't have this problem due to row isolation.
This is such a silly take, you're taking a real observation that people need to decompress but moralizing it rather than trying to understand it. While some activities you would call active can fill the need to destress the majority of them are passive. Creative hobbies are serious work until you're good enough at them you can turn your brain off while doing them. I can do it with programming but it's also my career and I've spent my 10,000 hours getting there. So people turn to reading, listening to music, podcasts, taking a bath, watching movies and TV, exercising, video games, or scrolling through their phones.
The drought is probably just bad luck. They should have had a couple hurricanes go through there. Sometimes you just don't get the rain. AFAIK from news people freaking out every time there's a hurricane (good source, I know) climate change is causing more of them.
Framing the practice as customer acquisition is extremely generous.
Flying cars. You mean, like personal aircraft? That's already a thing. Or cars that can drive on a highway but also fly? Besides being impractical from an engineering standpoint, I don't think there's an actual market large enough to sustain the development and marketing costs.
Does anyone who if they minutes from the trial are publicly posted anywhere?

Google can and does have a browser that defaults to a Google search on iOS. They don’t need a separate browser engine for that.
I'm sorry to hear that. The story you tell me appears to have two losers, both your side and the side you were suing. I doubt either side was happy to be there. This reinforces my belief that software patents are inappropriate.

Personally I'm not against the little guy or the big guy here.

The fact of the matter is that I'm opposed to software patents entirely. My reasoning is that software patents are unsuitable for purpose.

I'm not alone in this, it seems to be a fairly common sentiment among software developers I've spoken to. In fact, where I live (EU), originally Article 52 of the European Patent Convention does theoretically ban software patents, but see [1] [2].

I might change my mind if I hear of (m)any cases where software patents actually turned out to be helpful. Have there been any instances where you got a (software) patent outcome you were actually happy with?

lol next time try “assert False” but I guess it’s same same
Not trying to be a dick or anything — how is it not customer acquisition?

Google knows that there is some percentage of iPhone users who will only ever search with the default Safari engine. Google really wants those users. Google is paying to make sure those users use Google.

I mean, that is definitionally “customer acquisition cost,” right? Or am I missing something?
Not just them. Mobile apps too. ALL TEXT SHOULD BE COPYABLE. Not allowing it is just a shitty time-wasting thing to do.
He could have just placed a microphone and correlate noise to occupancy level.
I think the point was "in walking distance". The Adirondacks from NYC is an entire planned trip, with rental car. Maybe there are more accessible outdoor activities near the city, but that in particular is definitely not a spur of the moment trip.
> but the theory is that in order to be able to detect fraud you will have to have some fraud!

That fails to argue that having any fraud is beneficial; if you have no fraud, there is no value in being able to detect fraud.
Depends on the person. Trust is a two way street. Why should they trust anything you say?

From your post, you've given nothing to support their perspective, which make me think you're low in empathy.

There was an interesting post on HN some weeks ago about autism and authority you could probably dig up.
people are still trying manual prompt injections?

Is that UTC or local?
Good. I don't know why you're defending the status quo. Are you pleased that the current industry setup necessitates serf labor from migrants? Do you see any value in living in a nation that actually provides for itself?
Is 3 launches in a single day by the same entity a record?
Yeah there are places to be outdoors, I don't think its as casual access as California while living close to the things make density nice. I can go on a few different hikes right now within a 10 min drive of my house. I go on short hikes on work breaks. I also have an international airport 30 minutes away.

I think this author is talking about the middle ground between remoteness with nature access and living in a place like brooklyn.
I have a startup idea, what Should I do next?
Arguably there’s plenty of benefit and enjoyment to be had in the outdoors regardless of whether wherever you are would make a “top-100 list”.

I also think that too many Americans today err on the side of avoiding potentially rewarding activities because of the chance that they might be uncomfortable–stuck in such a narrow comfort zone that’s basically counter to experiencing things that promote happiness and fulfillment.

Is this an American thing, or a northern European thing?
I cannot measure that from a closed dorm room, also plenty of environmental noise in empty rooms or silent, full rooms (during finals!).
In ancient Rome actors were so low status they were subject to infamia, which meant that they couldn't defend themselves in court and could even be beaten or killed without legal repercussions.

It was considered to be a worthless profession (actors were seen as professional liars) akin to prostitution.

Not all celebrities are actors, but my point is that Romans were around for almost 2000 years and that should tell you something.

You expect too much out of the profession.
I think your second point also feeds into why people trend towards television and internet. It is harder to make the time to go somewhere if it's a long distance to drive and you have other housework tasks that need to be done.

the problem is that investors want not one, but say 10.

I keep forgetting that LG is not HP and that, in contrast to HP, LG makes very durable and high quality things (especially white goods and TVs). Thanks for reminding me. I had never considered their laptop before. I would trust HP because their TV is quite ethical and ie compared to Samsung and other brands, it has never served me Ads and asks permission before collecting my data.
Ask GPT: Who is hiring?
Its not just that, its a refactoring of the llama code that doesn't seem to change anything. And its clearly an edit of the original Apache 2.0 llama file, but with no mention of llama:

https://www.diffchecker.com/bJTqkvmQ/

And instead of being PR'd into transformers, its just slapped on as external code, which is either a security risk or unsupported by frameworks. The HuggingFace leaderboard won't even queue the 200K version to benchmark, due to its no custom code policy.

And they claim its a 32K model, but its configured as a 4K model with no RoPE stretching config, and no explanation for how its supposed to be stretched out. For now, there's zero info on its tuning data. They didn't include instructions to reproduce their benchmarks, including the suspiciously high MMLU score.

...Anyone who's been in AI world in awhile won't bat an eye over this. Disingenuous claims? Hit and run release? License violations? Actual benchmark cheating? Who cares!? Just move onto the next paper, or in this case, take all the VC money. Yi is at least above par because its a base model, and it does feel pretty performant.
Document. Clearly state your goals for them, and have them written down in a 1:1 document.

Communication style and tone are important, and autistic people do not get a pass on trying to understand them, even if you may want to give them more grace when they slip up.

With that in mind, a goal should be something like “coworkers report improvement in communication style and tone.” It should be something that other people assess, not a checklist of things for the employee to self-report progress towards. (You never want to give people who don’t correctly see how they’re perceived by others the option of grading themselves. First, their lack of self-awareness means that they aren’t the best judge of improvement, and second, treating things a a checklist to complete will give the impression that you wanted some line items addressed, rather than a holistic improvement in a vague problem area.)

When you document, pay special attention to times when their misunderstanding caused rework. Use those as examples to help them improve. It can be tough for autistic people to take a vague problem and figure out a plan to tackle it, so the more specific examples of problem, outcome, and desired change you can make for them, the clearer it will be what is expected of them. It is better for you and for them - they have a better chance to improve, and you have documented instances of business impact if a turnaround doesn’t happen and you need HR to sign off on moving on.

For accommodation - they have not told you that they have a disability, you’ve heard it secondhand. It’s their choice to make you aware of their autism, and also their responsibility to request accommodations since they have not told you yet. However, you can make informal accommodations, but I would treat it the same way you accommodate employees’ individual personalities and strengths/weaknesses. They, like everyone else, should not be below a certain standard of behavior, but within that standard there will be differences in what each individual needs. You employee sounds like they need direct coaching and clear examples of what is or is not working. Try to give them tasks with high clarity and limited communication requirements, if you can. However, if you find they need more clarity than a reasonable person would expect, again I would have a goal of “the PM reports a decrease in the amount of back-and-forth on tickets you pick up, without a drop in velocity” or something similar. If they find they need more formal accommodations than that, well, now is the time for them to tell you about their autism diagnosis.

Best of luck! This is a challenging managerial task.
We are planning to have kids soon and I am seriously considering homeschooling for this reason.

I also had a terrible experience with school growing up myself. It managed to make me hate learning for a long time, and I had to undo a lot of it. I really don’t want my kids to have that same experience.

Seems like a confluence of factors that are making homeschool appealing.
The choice of phrasing in your post highlight a considerable growth opportunity, for yourself, in working toward having stronger emotional intelligence.

It is Movember. Maybe use it as an excuse to open up in a conversation with your colleague on men's mental health issues and how stigmas around neurodivergence are unfair? Maybe you can grow mustaches together and raise awareness for a good cause. I'm saying that it sounds like your first step here is to have some empathy and try connecting on a personal level.

A developer with autism may turn out to be an astounding asset. If you are managing this person, then it is up to you to find what motivates and produces the best work from them.

Welcome to management.

Well, my opinion is, he took something elegant and sublime and dressed it up in bullshit; there's nothing wrong with being playful and fun--as I mentioned earlier, Whittaker's "C#, Player's Guide" is the ONLY programming book that presented serious stuff in a fun way without clowning.
It's actually because our WiFi portal doesn't allow printers, game consoles, etc without browsers to connect, we have to manually add it. Though there is a portal to add it ourselves without IT, I am at the max 5 devices through there so I have to ask for overrides :)
UTA developing more powerful rocket engines for space travel
> There's constant postings on Reddit about it

I don't think reddit is a reliable source for pretty much anything, especially making country-wide generalizations
With cookies banner and ad banner, the page has barely 1/4th of screen space on mobile device.
I don't really have an opinion on TikTok, but maybe more on the social harmony part. But just an observation as I'm getting older. Restricting your choices in life, can often lead to good outcomes. Like what you eat, drink, who you socialize with, what you watch, who you sleep with, what you read...it's a long list.
Choice is great, but can be overwhelming.
Not that I'm for minimalism. But I'm guessing Nepal has a religious government...Buddhist? And like many other religions, part of it is restricting the behaviour of the adherents. Which like I mentioned before, is not always bad.
If the majority of the country feels this way, why should you push your Western Values on them.
Same with restaurants and bars - everywhere is packed and needs a reservation now.
It doesn’t necessarily assume citizens want censorship. They might not want it, but they might be better with it.

So humans do not have GI?
Cheap enough?

Some of the biggest success stories have been implementations in $-poor environments.

There's nothing inherently expensive about the principles of permaculture.

As to 'work at scale for staple cereals' I think you are perhaps misunderstanding what permaculture advocates - broadacre cereal crops are definitely NOT on the menu.

Wow, very cool! I would have used WiFi but unfortunately our beacons either separate or merge devices (so you either get just the users on the nearest beacon, which is not a set range of distance, or every user on that region's subnet, which could be entire dorm complexes). But that seems like a really good solution!

Have a chill chat with him to figure out how he likes to communicate and work. Make sure he knows exactly what’s expected in his job – clear and simple works best. Touch base with HR; they might have some useful tips. Maybe tweak how you talk to him, like being more straightforward or writing things down. Regular, straightforward feedback's good too. If it's still tough, maybe find an expert for advice. Try to learn a bit about autism, as it’ll give you some insight into his actions.
Division is everything. It is immeasurably more difficult to control and manipulate a unified mass than it is to manipulate multiple different fragments of said mass. This applies to pretty much everything from flat-pack furniture to society.
It is psy-op 101 to push people to any extreme you can; left, right, up, down, doesn’t matter as long as they’re mad as fuck.
>Because in just about every country adults are supposed to support themselves.

China, India, and Latin America make up an extremely large portion the world's entire population, and families from there have had a growing presence in the US. Multigenerational housing is the norm there, and is absolutely not a red herring. Additionally, the focus is on supporting the family unit, not supporting in one specific direction.

I definitely agree that high prices (housing in particular) are contributing to this, but so is culture.
They are for architecture… the design of buildings. I don’t know if they will do any coding at all in these programs.
I live a rural life where my primary social outlet is church and I have a farm. It's so much better. I have a community of 200 people who I love, and maybe 20 people in my immediate circle. Let's do what actually works.
It's not like you know any intelligent species that did not arise from brute force of a dumb optimizer ? "pop out kids before you die" evolution is exactly the antithesis to that.
> Whats the endgame here?

I don't mean to be rude, but at least to me the sentiment of this comment comes off as asking what the end game is for any hacker demonstrating vulnerabilities in ordinary software. There's always a cat and mouse game. I think we should all understand that given the name of this site... The point is to perform such checks on LLMs as we would with any software. There definitely is the ability to debug ML models, it's just harder and different than standard code. There's a large research domain dedicated to this pursuit (safety, alignment, mech interp, etc).

Maybe I'm misinterpreting your meaning? I must be, right? Because why would we not want to understand how vulnerable our tools are? Isn't that like the first rule of tools? Understanding what they're good at and what they're bad at. So I assume I've misinterpreted.
Do you perhaps fall on the aspergers spectrum? I realize I often make assumptions on how others mind’s work so I’m curious. I’ve heard that often conversations seem derailed when those on the spectrum pivot to subjects they are interested in versus a current topic. So it’d be helpful in identifying if that’s the case so I can understand other similar comments in the future.
The Z is Zulu, which is UTC.

No one is saying it, but a part of the reason is that a long power distance makes it difficult for a junior to object or negotiate a request. It’s usually a plain “yes, I’ll do it”, no matter the consequences.
Imagine if a regional power with a territorial dispute with your country had opportunity to individually and untraceably curate exactly what your next generation watches for hours each day on their phone.

Nepal can’t necessarily know if that’s happening with but they have to consider that it might be. If that’s a concern in allowing TikTok, fines wouldn’t address the problem very well since money isn’t hard to come by if it buys enough value.
Interesting, considering Winnie the Pooh is in the public domain now. I wonder how they determine the copyright status of a character.
I have a X62 (x61 with a custom mobo with updated everything) sitting in a box now. My build is 6(?) years old and still works like a champ. But the battery is the main reason it’s in a box. You have to use it like a desktop and keep it plugged in within a hour or two which really defeats the purpose of a laptop…
I mean, still not exactly a weekend but close enough I guess.
Ask anyone what dating is like.
Oh, I see. Sure, that makes sense.

I think it can be an "escalator" of engagement though, and small exposures can build up to bigger adventures!

I never visited a proper outdoor area until college (grew up in the city). My first time, I was so scared of the unfamiliar trees that I think I screamed when some vine grazed my skin, lol.

A few years (and a few more day hikes) later, I went on my first overnight backpacking trip. Nearly froze to death because our guide didn't check the weather. Had to evac half the group out overnight through the pouring rain. Glad nobody died, but we got real close to frostbite territory. The next trip with the same group, we nearly got shot (pissed off some, uh, rural hunter types) and had to hide in sand dunes until the gunshots stopped... it's a wonder this guiding group stays in business, lol.

Despite all that, backpacking became a lifelong love. I've introduced probably a dozen friends to backpacking, and they're all most impressed by the Jetboil :) These days me and my SO go on a few trips a summer, not quite as much as we were younger, but still.

Ya gotta start somewhere! That's all I'm saying.
Has Starship ever launched successfully yet?

i.e. if it makes it will this be the first? i.e. a really big deal?
I get out and hike, since there are so many great and beautiful places in the SF Bay Area. I hate running, so I climb steep hills to get some cardio.
Finally, I can’t wait until they start loading these with starlink satellites and launching once a month. I’d love to make the trip to see one in person once the timing is more predictable. Seeing the progress on Starship is one of the few things that gives me hope for the future.

Yeah I don't get the comments either. React has been there for a decade now, is pretty stable and very backwards compatible. You can't really go wrong with it and it's a super lightweight "framework" (I know, it's not a framework, maybe a library would be a better term) all things considered.

The issue is just some sort of "front end bad" feeling at this point, imo. It's like some people think web components are the answer to the popular perception of the frontend being a mess of yearly novelties. When again, you can just use react and could have done so for a decade now.
I have the same machine the author shows in the picture. Agree completely.

Also have a really old T60p. Might be close to 15 years old now. It has a bad fan.

What I did was put the machine into passive cooling and spin the fan up at boot! Kind of like a jump start.

Runs just fine.
Tides would take care of the filling. The Pacific tidal range is something like +-6.5m, the Atlantic side is <1m, plus whatever offset due to weather and phase error in the tidal times due to the earth being a sphere. A system of locks could handle it, that's exactly what the existing canal is after all. It's just more expensive and impractical to construct/maintain the deeper into the continent that canal cuts.

Ecologically, it's mainly about connecting the Atlantic and Pacific hydrologically. They're different temperatures, salinities, turbidities, etc.
It's pretty telling how effective China thinks it is, given their restrictions on Douyin ("internal Chinese TikTok"). iirc kids can only use it for <1 hour / day.
