Not parent, but as an example zucchini boats are pretty popular in my area of the Midwest as are stuffed peppers.

A zucchini boat is basically just zucchini stuffed with meat, cheese, tomato, onions, and spices. That's the whole meal. Stuffed peppers is basically the same thing, but with peppers instead of zucchini.

With supply chain attacks becoming more of an issue the strong sandboxing of library permissions would a huge benefit also. A thought on how this might be workable would be to have a wasm registry that when pushed to, would auto-build packages for each ecosystem, then push upstream to npm/maven/etc.

Of course the "component model" or some agreed upon structure of data shared among modules and the mappings to each language is the missing piece.

To add a data point, I used to do Pomodoro timing (25+5 min) but now switched to 15 min timer with a loose 2-5 min break. It's still hard to actually pull out of hyper-focus/anxious perseveration sometimes, but the shorter timer period seems to match my task cadence better. And the non-timed break just vibes better because it doesn't feel like punishment then.

For the most part, when Democrats talk about this sort of thing, they mean legal but undemocratic or counter-majoritarian tools like the electoral college, not having enough polling places, limited voting hours, voter purges, etc.

I try to push back on using the word "rigged" for these things because A) Just describing the actual things is equally convincing and B) It normalizes that kind of verbiage in political discourse, whereas I think it's definitely better that such verbiage remain kooky. Not endorsing it, just observing a common sentiment.
Yep. Basically what I meant as well. Thanks for clarifying it even more.
Ask HN: Companies that you are surprised stay in business?
I was driving home today and I noticed a couple of businesses that always seem to be open and have been around for a while, it made me wonder how they stay in business. Some might be passion projects, but I'm amazed how other businesses come and go, but these stay open. Makes me wonder if niche businesses really are where to focus.

- Light bulb store
- Harpsicle store
- Christmas ornament store open year-round

The extremely obvious legal problem is, ALL simulated voices sound like some real person somewhere, it's just a matter of finding that person.

I don't see a solution to this, so I'll tend to believe the cynic's viewpoint that the final written law will be in favor of whoever has the most lawyers.
The right to petition for redress of grievances is not abridged by the creation of methods other than a civil suit to redress a grievance. If it were, https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/456 would be Unconstitutional on its face, and it does not seem to be (unless you can find evidence to the contrary in Court interpretation).

And in general: no, it doesn't feel outrageous to me. The law seems to have wide leeway to shape civil suit (statutes of limitations, bars to suit, no ability to sue agents of the government acting in the line of duty for burning one's house down to flush a criminal suspect), and the remedy would therefore be to elect better Congresspeople and state legislators if one is concerned about how civil law has been shaped.

“curated link directories were a thing back when the Internet was in its infancy, but the task of maintaining such a directory is a full time job”

Here’s the economically viable answer. It could be a job in the same sense as a YouTuber. I imagine lists being distributed through releases, not an infinite, always-on feed. Releases would not consist of links only, but actual context. A well known curator could use his reach to leverage smaller projects, the political factor of course would be present. It’s not so different than what people already do on social networks, and that’s a good sign. The main difference would be that the linked content would be sourced from around the web, not only from within a particular network. Ad business could also flourish in this context. Ads can be really useful. For people with interest in a given topic, it is valuable to get access to offers regarding the activity. You could have people literally making a living just by thoughtfully wandering on the web and collecting media with a niche public in mind. The mere act of selection from the curator would be an expression of individuality, even more so if they enrich the published volume with their view. It would reach a point where you would simply submit your content to the curator network, bypassing search engines entirely. I would also add that a fully curated internet would feel extremely safe, since you’d always know what to expect from the sources you subscribe to, and also considering media would flow downstream in a parallel fashion, so no intersection of undesirable content. It would be beautiful if it all happened through a torrent or torrent-like protocol.

Most people claiming republicans "rig" elections tend to mean gerrymandering, ensuring long waitig times in predominantly D neighborhoods, banning people from giving those in line water and so on. Mostly things that are legal (at least by the letter of the law). Not sure I'd call that "tampering" though.

But of course the last hail mary was to have the fake electors and all that. People will literally do prison time for that. And "tampering" might be part of the description of those crimes somewhere.

The point to my post was that there's no dissent allowed from the party line of 'this is definitely kosher'. If you thought the agency was overreaching in its interpretation, you better keep that to yourself, because it was a near-heretical opinion that would be eyed with suspicion, and it's not like you, a lowly rank-and-file employee, were ever going to sway things on that front.
This kind of rule of thumb usually contains some mote of wisdom, but generally just creates the kind of thing I have to de-dogmatize from newer programmers.

There’s just always going to be a ton of cases where trying to adhere to this too rigidly is worse. And “just know when not to listen to this advice” is basically the core complexity here.

Those two sentences contradict each other; it is a very irresponsible thing to do. Also, yes, if every time you have a cold, you get antibiotics and they make you feel better, it is placebo.
This is why it’s so distasteful when ex-Meta trust and safety hires attempt to lead the disinformation space via various think tanks or publishing risk taxonomy.

They worked at, profited, conveniently left with vested RSUs, and then turn around and try to sell the solutions to a problem they supported. Like taking lung cancer advice from cigarette company scientists.

He seems burned out over trying to keep up with the fast pace of AI development (which is understandable). He's clearly putting inhuman amounts of effort into whatever he's doing and it's wrecking him, so I'm guessing he's perceiving questions about his project's longevity because he hasn't addressed issues from six months ago as seeing vultures circling in anticipation of his imminent demise. He's giving it his all and he's being presumed dead after six months...what more can he give?

That's all totally ok and understandable, and I hope he takes some time off to relax in the next few weeks. But I also wish that he would take this article down. He's externalized his own internal struggle as authoritative-sounding advice proscribed to the community at large, based on his own misguided perceptions of perfectly-acceptable discourse. It's Toxic-with-a-capital-T.

I never really used Mac machines, but I always appreciated "target disk mode". This sounds similar, albeit over a network (which could simply be a straight-thru cable between Ethernet NICs on two machines).

Edit: Yeah. I forgot about actually saying what "target disk mode was". There's a child post that mentions it, so I'll refrain. I will say that I saw it used in imaging computers in a college computer lab setting back in the early 2000's. I definitely wished my PCs could've done it. It looked like a very handy feature. Presumably it would make fixing OS boot issues easier, as well as just harvesting files off a machine that was otherwise not operating properly due to OS issues.
> Why does anyone choose to play any game instead of another?

Because of culture. But culture changes all the time - if we resist changing it, it gets changed for us, and then usually in ways we would least like.

> isn't that gambling to try to win the game

No, of course not. When I say gambling I'm talking about out-of-game stakes. There's obviously a difference between real-world money and in-game stakes like victory points.

You're not brainwashed more than anyone is. Catan and poker are both part of our culture. But we lose culture all the time, whether we want to or not (the point of my story), so is it really worth it to hold on to the culture that is heavily about gambling?

As I also said: even though lots of poker buffs will resist that because they are into the gambling, you can divorce it from gambling for yourself and your game buddies if you're really determined to. It's your choice. But is that really a conscious choice, or are you just trying to hold on to it without thinking critically about why, like the immigrant dad in my story?

Why, nothing has changed.

Your decision to ignore the users wants (I want an event as 10AM in new york) and replace it with your wants (I want to store time in UTC for some reason). That's wrong.

What is the target disk mode?
If you have two Mac computers with USB, USB-C or Thunderbolt ports, you can connect them so that one of them appears as an external hard disk on the other. This is called target disk mode. Note: If either of the computers has macOS 11 or later installed, you must connect the two computers using a Thunderbolt cable.

Sidenote: Thunderbolt cables are special USB-C cables, i.e. the wire between your Mac and the USB-C power brick.

The money tends to be on one side of these things, and money amplifies the message substantially.

You can argue that the election was fair all you want, but who is going to pay to run all the ads to impress that message on everyone?

It's already the case that clickbait headlines and lies are naturally more engaging, so amplifying them with money seems to drown out any rational counter dialogue.
but have there ever been free and fair elections? even without an official court case against any election it’s preposterous to declare it free and fair. so why should the desire to label any one election as ‘free and fair’ supersede the right/freedom of any individual or group to call the fairness of any election into question? what does it change? their evidence could even be anecdotal: human error at their polling station.

The papal bull against masonry was mostly a canard, and oddly ridiculous to reassert it in this day and age. Find younger masons and talk to them, and you will find some of the sharpest and kindest guys around. Like many, I heartily welcome this pope's admonishment.
> But we really do! There is nothing surface about the differences in behavior and structure of LLMs and humans - anymore than there is anything surface about the differences between the behavior and structure of bricks and humans.

This is meaningless platitudes. These networks are turing complete given a feedback loop. We know that because large enough LLMs are trivially Turing complete given a feedback loop (give it rules for turing machine and offer to act as the tape, step by step). Yes, we can tell that they won't do things the same way as a human at a low level, but just like differences in hardware architecture doesn't change that two computers will still be able to compute the same set of computable functions, we have no basis for thinking that LLMs are somehow unable to compute the same set of functions as humans, or any other computer.

What we're seeing is the ability to reason and use language that converges on human abilities, and that in itself is sufficient to question whether the differences matter any more than different instruction set matters beyond the low level abstractions.

> You've made something (at great expense!) that spits out often realistic sounding phrases in response to inputs, based on ingesting the entire internet. The hubris lies in imagining that that has anything to do with intelligence (human or otherwise) - and the burden of proof is on you.

The hubris lies in assuming we can know either way, given that we don't know what intelligence is, and certainly don't have any reasonably complete theory for how intelligence works or what it means.

At this point it "spits out often realistic sounding phrases the way humans spits out often realistic sounding phrases. It's often stupid. It also often beats a fairly substantial proportion of humans. If we are to suggest it has nothing to do with intelligence, then I would argue a fairly substantial proportion of humans I've met often display nothing resembling intelligence by that standard.
