This study starts with the baseline "There is a common perception that creativity is associated with psychopathy". Uhhhhh.... common to who? That's news to me. Most psychopaths i've met are lifeless corporate execs. I consider myself an artist and have a lot of friends who are also artistic. I've noticed no correlation.

In any case, it's obvious that the study was colored by the belief that there is legitimately an association between creativity and psychopathy, so it was flawed from the start.

It's also worth considering that there is quite an epidemic of "research papers" being published that haven't been peer reviewed: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7683245/

In a December 2013 blog post, WhatsApp claimed that 400 million active users used the service each month. The year 2013 ended with $148 million in expenses, of which $138 million in losses.[1]

FB acquired them next year and if my memory is correct there were 19 in the team then.

...is the government planning on turning David Attenborough into a sex bot?

If not, is the David Attenborough thread closed or something? Are people not able to comment on it anymore?
I think mainly you simply have a very poor understanding of the curren political situation in Sweden and simply assumed this is a real reform or that it was decided in a reasonable way.

> Build on Windows 365 to enable a full Windows operating system system streamed from the cloud to any device.

I interpreted that as a remote desktop session of some sort, but maybe some day it will look more like you're suggesting. It is the word "full" that sways me this way.

I don't know how I feel about booting an OS (Linux, MacOS, Windows) to open an OS (actually a browser) that runs the OS (Windows Online) though. Every time I say it though, I realize we're already pretty close.
As an iPhone user, I am happy with messages and do not want it to drop SMS support. Note Apple created iMessage way before RCS even existed. iMessage works well and I am happy with it.
You aren't wrong, but small town USA is the perfect market for these. My entire town is 20-30 MPH and only 1300 people.
I almost skipped reading into this article because I love Signal and it's mission (and their rare commitment to stick to it) and would have known it's good. Yet, the details on expenses and infrastructure was a good read. $1.3M/yr for temporary storage! $6M for verification codes during sign-up!? Toll fraud!? GOOG & FB data center spend, data breaches from GOOG, MSFT, et. al 50 full-time employees vs 3K or 4K for similar apps! All interesting.
> It is characterized by [...] glossy textures, cloudy skies, tropical fish, water, bubbles, glass, lens flare, sprawling patterns [...] bright, vibrant colors (usually greens and blues).

Seems wrong to put the start of this in the early 2000s. The fish, bubbles, birds, and greens & blues brought me straight back to the demo images on every color CRT monitor throughout the 90s.
Yeah this is fair. I’m not attached to a simian theme if we’re ditching specific association to monkey-patching something. Or indeed, a ‘patching’ theme for that matter.

A new name is definitely in order. I will think about it over the weekend.

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.
Yes, as long as you ignore the other literally 100 or so SaaS products that the average enterprise uses. You are always locked in to your infrastructure at any decent scale
Complete clickbait as autopilot had nothing to do with the death.

Oh sweet summer child... let me know how that goes for you.
After a few hours of reaching out to people about this, the Signal salaries appear to be grossly inflated not only compared to other non-profits, but to what engineers working on iMessage and Meta Messenger make for the same or more difficult work (considering that both of these competitors many several times the users as Signal; Meta Messenger has over 1 billion users).
this homestly sounds like the type of study that wont replicate when tried again
What would the advantage of that be? Seems like they wouldn’t have incentive to do that.
hmm but the more that's true, the more counter culture will be a thing no? places with EM jammers etc, no technology experiences.

that keeps me interested at least heh
A company I worked at did a stint of CTO approval for all hires after a period of significant scaling and while it was a PITA, it definitely helped calibrate recruiting, eng, pm, and design to what leadership was looking for. It also exposed leadership to the types of issues we were facing daily with hiring. It does slow things down (actually the CTO I'm referring to was awesome and turned things around in no less than 24 hours, avg of 4 hrs), BUT its a useful tool when its time-bounded and there's a commitment to quick turnaround.

Coinbase will be fine but I'll bet money they kill the cognitive testing after a year or two (or a lawsuit).

Anybody know what the internal definition for talent density is? The article is a bit vague on whether thats a reference to locale or having a lot of talented people on your team/in your company.
Mathematics is language powerful enough to help us discover properties of the universe. The language is invented, the properties are discovered.
Now if only they would open iMessage or at least release Windows/Linux/Web/Android clients so I can give up BlueBubbles. One can dream...
If you can do it for some much less than Amazon (and all the other cloud vendors), then why don’t you create your own cloud and undercut them?
Haha, that's such an easy way to get around this thing. I'd just set up an LLC called "Price Advisor LLC" and instead of a cartel, we'd all just go to Price Advisor LLC and ask "what should I set it at?" and then Price Advisor LLC can just run the cartel. This is hilarious. I can enable full anti-trust myself out of a one-man LLC by just "using comparables".
Nuclear is the worst companion to Solar+Wind. Why? Because nuclear is limited in regulation capacity (you need to keep the output at at least 40%) and also extremely expensive when not running at high capacity.
I feel like they've made their position here quite clear and it's well-reasoned. I understand the disappointment, but this doesn't give any indications to me of "serial mishandling" unless there's some other context I'm missing?

Open source != open to contributions. Signal has made it pretty clear that their motivations for open source are visibility and verifiability, not to get people to do work for them for free. It seems like the action item to update the CONTRIBUTING.md to make those expectations more clear is a reasonable one.
>When you ask this same faction how to fix that they'll say small modular reactors, etc. That would be great if it existed. It doesn't.

So I guess the dozens of military nuclear submarines and a dozen or so advanced aircraft carriers in the world are powered by unicorns and leprechauns?

I don't know the advanced mechanics of navy reactors, but something that generates 165 megawatts, while fitting inside a 360-foot-long, 35-foot-wide tube and still leaving room to house 130 people comfortably along with all their life support for weeks seems pretty usable as a small reactor. (the A1B reactor on the latest USN carriers takes things up to 700MW of thermal power.)
The money quote for me was

"However, many magicians perform familiar tricks or variations of them without feeling the need to innovate.”

It's true that in our field, at least mine, we automate everything that can be automated, and are left with the hard problems, requiring to question everything including ourselves, on a daily basis. We're feeding ourselves that not good enough, every day.

At least that's the way I interpreted the article.

Something to be said about executing something with perfection without thinking too hard about it.
We don't give single cells rights, but we do give the complex organization of cells rights. Why should binary code never be given the same consideration as dna code? What defining factor is at play here?

To think that it is "just a program" could be like saying we are just machines without determination. This view may well become "racist" or "bigotry"

Individual ethics will determine the societal ethics that get codified into law. I have a hard time seeing how giving intelligent enough machines won't happen based on our existing ethics, laws, and history therein

> It makes even less sense to people who know what a computer program is.

I write code professionally and my beliefs are not what you claim them to be. Perhaps your opinion is the minority opinion? You should certainly not be claiming it as the de facto belief among programmers
The killer feature of OpenTelemetry for us is brokering (with ETL).

Partly this lets us easily re-route & duplicate telemetry, partly it means changes to backend products in the future won't be a big disruption.

For metrics we're a mostly telegraf->prometheus->grafana mimir shop - telegraf because its rock solid and feature-rich, prometheus because there's no real competition in that tier, and mimir because of scale & self-host options.

Our scale problem means most online pricing calculators generate overflow errors.

Our non-security log destination preference is Loki - for similar reasons to Mimir - though a SIEM it definitely is not.

Tracing to a vendor, but looking to bring that back to grafana Tempo. Product maturity is a long way off commercial APM offerings, but it feels like the feature-set is about 70% there and converging rapidly. Off-the-shelf tracing products have an appealingly low cost of entry, which only briefly defers lock-in & pricing shocks.

Nice website. Let's see if we can edit it for another Google product...

# Chrome

## Better Browsing for Everyone

Web browsing changed the way we communicate, but it’s out of date. Today we want a web browser that lets us do things like watch videos, edit documents in real time, notify us of breaking news, or make video calls.

Google Chromium and V8 makes all this possible, and now the browser industry is coming together to bring it to users everywhere.

## The universal Web application

While Web applications were designed to move Web browsing beyond reading documents, different approaches made it difficult and costly for websites to bring it to users.

By aligning on the W3C's universal Web standards - with the Google Chrome client app - websites can now provide Web applications across the browser ecosystem.

Paragraph 7
> The solution will (I hope) ultimately be open-source LLMs that you can run locally, on your own hardware.

There are projects like llama.cpp https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp and koboldcpp: https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp that can make running open source models pretty easy. As for where to find the models, you can look at HuggingFace for quite the selection, depending on what your needs are and what your hardware (CPU and RAM or GPU and VRAM, or both) can run: https://huggingface.co/models

I was actually curious about this, so I wrote a blog post on it: https://blog.kronis.dev/tutorials/self-hosting-an-ai-llm-cha... which wasn't anything too serious, in addition to formats like GGUF I think becoming more popular than GGML since. Things are moving ahead quite rapidly over there.

I guess it can also be easier to pay for something like NovelAI for those who want something for general purpose writing (including most NSFW stuff), but it wasn't exactly amazing for my needs. Despite the name, it wasn't great at prose enhancement: to take a dry sounding paragraph or two and rewrite it until I've found an additional expression or two to include instead, or a few sentence structures than work better. Kind of fun as a replacement for AI Dungeon or something like Character.AI, though.

Then again, the local models need expensive hardware to actually run well, if you want good results (somewhere above 20B parameters from what I've seen). I do wonder how much better the models that approach 200B would be for general text generation use cases, if the performance would actually be good. Even more so, when it comes to writing code, or all of the boring stuff like boilerplate/scaffolding code, utility functions, or even stubs for tests. ChatGPT, Phind and GitHub Copilot are all there, but could be even better.
So, hotel is a lot older than rent. But, what has been there first? Without rent no hotel room and without hotel no need for rent.. hm. I have to think about it.
Note: stage magicians, and not occult practitioners.
Alcohol also reduces the level of social awkwardness quite a bit that many people in the software engineering field exhibit. Which can be quite helpful in making new friends or finding a partner. I'd expect a significant percentage of people would not have been with their current partner without alcohol.

To give you ballpark I colo metal servers at a few different data centers. A gig up is a few hundred dollars a month.

Let's say you're really pushing the connection and your p95 is 900megabit up. That is $200 at colo vs ~$8200 for amazon.
I understand the point. I would ideally like an association with monkey-patching something as that is relevant to the behaviour of the package. However, not so similar that it shadows the technique of monkey-patching!
Even taking the problem at face value, the idea of the WHO being in touch enough or able to avoid tripping over their own feet to actually address the problem in any kind of meaningful way is ridiculous on its' face.
You're still on one side or another of the CAP triangle.

In a network partition, you are either offline or your data is not consistent.

If you're writing local to your system, you're losing data if there's a single device failure.

Magicians can spend just as many many hours sitting in a room focusing intensely on the skillful manipulation of small coins or playing cards, but they also have to constantly interact directly with their audiences, perform their shows publicly, and manage their career (advertising, booking shows, designing stage/street performances) so my guess is that magicians with major mental disorders are much less likely to be successful than other types of artists like a musician or a painter.

If they're skilled enough and can still put out work painters and musicians can be pretty damn crazy, and are sometimes even expected to be a little eccentric, but a magician who comes off as mentally unhinged risks making people uncomfortable and they aren't going to get work. To be a magician you have to make people feel comfortable enough to approach you, or even let you put them into a box and saw them in half. A painter doesn't need the charisma it takes to pull in and hold a crowd.
My criticism of there being a few corporate gatekeepers of communication that are bullied by the government to censor content it doesn’t like is valid. You’re free to believe whatever neocon libertarian nonsense you wish.
>Ie. If I insert 1 million records of 1 kilobyte each. And my SSD can do 1GB/s of writes, then I should be able to do it in 1 second.

Your are measuring throughput and not IOPS. 1 Million IOPS, especially random IOPS is very difficult to achieve.
This is a compelling way of looking at things for sure; to me it seems like you're saying math is just a language (like English) that we can use to describe the world. English is no more "right" than some other made up language, so same goes for math, and thats certainly seems true in some cases. However there are things that are intrinsic to mathematics that also seem intrinsic to existence, like prime numbers. Many things about prime numbers are 'discovered' as if they were elements of nature that need to be revealed through study. For example, the distribution of primes and the distribution of twin primes are things likely to have been discovered by an alien intelligence, assuming one exists. What would their math look like? Different for sure, but I think it's likely they still studied the primes, hypothetically.
The idea of a somebody being disabled or even dead while a self-driving car continues running is an interesting one to think about, and the event provides an opportunity to do so. And it's not antagonistic: one can even come away from it being grateful that it was a self-driving car, as in the article:

> It's an interesting example of a driver assistance feature interacting with a real-world crisis in complex ways. While the Tesla of course wasn't able to do anything about Turen's condition, the incident does make you wonder what would've happened to the producer and his son without the driver assistance feature being turned on.

So it sounds like good and pretty responsible reporting, regardless of the headline. Given that the story was about the combination of the medical emergency and the Tesla being on autopilot, is there a headline you think might have been better?

many many billable hours for lawyers for things I would have otherwise asked them about and thats totally a risk I’m willing to shoulder. now I simply have them implement unless they are not able to corroborate the legal view. In the past, I would have to explore several paths and then consider switching lawyers after I had all the information I wanted, having the subsequent lawyer implement without any knowledge of why.

some of these ideas generate revenue and I can get to that point far faster and cheaper

I can already code in the latest frameworks and have high proficiency in most media suites, but the media creation was not where I specialize or want to spend time on

⍵[9] INDEX ERRORs on the shorter words, and that code needs a compress to do the filtering. It's a more traditional and faster approach, which is better from those viewpoints. If faster and avoiding each and using array concepts is desirable, how about:

words←↑⊃⎕nget 'wordlist.txt' 1
tenK←words⌿⍨('k'=words[;9])∧(' '≠words[;10])∧(' '=words[;11])
tenK⌿⍨{∧/1='abc'(+/∘.∊)⍵}⍤1⊢tenK

Mix ↑ turns the nested wordlist into a 2D array by padding short strings out to the length of the longest using spaces, which I don't like but am (ab)using here to tell when the words end.
It could be considered clickbait in the sense that the title doesn’t give away the conclusion, but the story itself is balanced. Autopilot may have saved the child’s life.
One other disadvantage of the long term nature of nuclear is that you lock in high prices for a very very very long time.

Whereas when you report your wind farm or solar farm after 30 years you can take advantage the fall in component prices.

Show HN: Chrome extension to export your data from Mint before it sunsets
Since Intuit announced that Mint.com is going away (users are being "migrated" to Credit Karma, which will only retain 3 years of history), we've found that many many users are trying to get their data out of Mint.com. Mint actually has a bunch of functionality to let you export your transactions and balances inCSV, but it's pretty tedious (you have to go account by account, and if you want daily balances, you also have to go month-by-month). It's a huge pain if you have months of history.

Our team scrambled and built a Chrome extension to let folks export their balances and transactions with one click, and we open-sourced it: https://github.com/monarchmoney/mint-export-extension

It's free to use and doesn't require using our product (which is a Mint.com competitor, I won't mention the name here to avoid self-promotion but obviously if you dig you can find it).
What do you mean? We've given back a lot of carbon and the earth better start showing some gratitude.
It depends.

If there is any evidence that the hackers colluded with the tipper so they could both share in the reward (i.e. if the hackers get any % of what the tipper gets), then the tip would be treated as part of the hack and the tipper would not be eligible for the reward.
Okay, I don't claim those are bundled licenses. I just guessed so.
I think a lot of Reddit's earlier userbase was more lefty types and that also overlaps with the group most annoyed by the API changes since they'd gotten used to what Reddit used to be. So more of the left wing users left, resulting in the attitude shift you're seeing. Even the right wing users on early reddit were more right-libertarian than right-conservative or alt-right initially - Ron Paul was one of the first political figures to have a big following there.

That said, there is also a shift to the right in real life, as seen by the rise of groups like AfD, Brothers of Italy or Sweden Democrats.

r/europe also has a bit of a weird history with this too. It started relatively left wing in the early days of reddit, drifting to the right until the mods started clamping down on the more overtly racist stuff. At this point, a lot of the posters involved moved to r/european, which sort of reset r/europe back leftward a bit again. But then r/european was banned around the same time as r/the_donald for much the same reasons, and those users drifted back into r/europe which shifted it to the right a second time.
It's clearly AI generated, blatantly so.
Better. The hyperbole didn't help your comment. I think you'll find people more interested in engaging in serious discussion if you write with a tone that invites thought instead of reaction.
