The vertical RGB shadow mask specifically wasn't unconsciously visible at normal viewing distance--usually only the raster lines were. On these screenshots, I can see and almost count horizontal pixels. This could also be because most shadow masks weren't the RGB stripes like most LCDs--the Trinitron was with a cylindrical CRT. The shadow mask was usually also more fine than the max resolution so there was no 1:1 (or 3:1) mapping to pixels as there is in this simulated display.

I don't mean wider color gamut, I mean that for lower intensities, the saturation can remain high. Most current IPS panels at lower intensities, the color saturation gets washed out (think DLP projector). This correlates with having deep AND distinguishable blacks. IPS has high brightness, VA has higher contrast ratios.

Because of this, I probably won't buy an IPS panel except for 'business' text use.

The LG/Dell Nano IPS Black (aka IPS Black and different than Nano IPS) is reported as being better--I haven't seen it in person so can't comment.

> good luck getting a chicken to voluntarily eat much of it (and they'd probably get sick pretty often if they tried)

I've had a cold compost as a part of my backyard chicken coop for many years. All kitchen scraps, as well as all yard waste, ends up there. Moldy fruit, veggies, breads, literally everything including things like turkey carcass after Thanksgiving. I've never had a chicken get sick off it and the food scraps are quickly either consumed or dug into the pile, no rotting mess. Every spring I dig it all out for the garden. It works out great.

The open circuit and control having a similar effect show that it likely isn't ions from the anode or cathode.

The other two are more interesting- presuming the short circuit had a lower effect than the one with some resistive load (labelled closed circuit), I presume there's something changing in the soil chemistry itself once sufficient potential is reached by microbe activity. Ions being knocked loose from the dirt itself, rather than the anode or cathode, which wouldn't happen when there's a direct short / no load other than the wire.
This can obviously not be the entire fraud prevention mechanism:

> Zelle simply "implemented a mechanism that allows banks to claw back funds from the recipient's account and return them to the sender."

I'm curious to see what the prerequisites for such a clawback are, both on the side of the payer (a police report? a signed statement? a click in an app?) and the payee (what happens if the money isn't in their account anymore?).
This is simply region prompting isn't it? Person A in left 50%, Person B in right 50%?
> CFPB may no longer be considering new protections, because Zelle's recent changes "have so far satisfied the agency."

At least codify what the banks agreed to implement -- otherwise they will just go back on this when it costs them too much money and they think no one is looking.

Mediocre human armed with modern smartphone with connectivity, a 100 popular apps, youtube wealth of knowledge and search engine is clearly in 99-th percentile in most areas of life compared, for example, with people armed with tech from 1940-s. Search engine itself is AI in this sense.

This is what happens when you co-opt vernacular language to draw in research money.

Had researchers stuck with a new technical term for their innovations, they wouldn’t have to convince people that their metaphor is not a metaphor.

They could just pursue some “hypercapable general computing system” that does all the same things as “Level 5 AGI” and barely stir a whiff of controversy or debate. Regulation would be a boring technical matter rather than opportunity for political grandstanding, and HN would be cluttered by 44.34% fewer endlessly repetitive comment threads.

Celebrities are about as ignorant about the issue as regular people, but there's also millions of people vying for them to say stuff. So much so that it's literally a commodity that they sell.

Furthermore, celebrities often get pushback for making political statements, even extremely milquetoast ones like "Israel shouldn't collectively punish Palestine for Hamas". Their job is to be liked by everyone, which means they can stand for nothing.

That being said, I know of few people who actually support America's current surveillance apparatus. Liberals hate it because it's corrosive to liberal democracy; Trumpists hate it because it hurt them; and left-wingers hate it because they're the intended target. The phrasing I use for this kind of issue is "anti-partisan": the general voting population hates it, but politicians want it to continue because it's instrumental to other goals that the voting population would support.

A key wrinkle is that most anti-partisanism would also disadvantage wealthy individuals if it got its way - i.e. right to repair harms OEMs' god-given right to force you to buy a new one - so wealth tends to rally around continuing the thing we don't want. Celebrities are sort of in the wealth orbit insamuch as social capital and being well known is a saleable commodity, so they also have a tendency to orbit around opposing antipartisan issues.

In other words, they don't want the CIA to spy on them, but they also want a neoliberal economy to sell products into, which is growing increasingly unpopular, which requires having a CIA spy on extremists, which means they want the CIA to spy on someone else. None of this is consciously understood or planned, there's no CIA guy telling celebrities to shut up about the spying, it is merely a coincidence of class interests and incentives.

Colorado is at a crossroads, and in a precarious position. As to what quacked said, talk all you want about immigration, but it's not the ones shooting the Darien Gap who are buying 2 bed 2 bath houses in Denver for 1.4 million dollars. But it is true that the immigrants don't help, and drain enormous resources from the state.

No one seems to want to talk about it, but Colorado needs to heavily develop east of I-25. Watkins to Limon needs massively expanded. But it won't be the 'right kind' of people who move/live there and Colorado seems to have no interest in that. And yet they also have no interest in doing anything with the massive homeless and immigrant population. It's like when you do an environmental survey and the best option is... let the bridge collapse.
> Which is a better use of 50k? To give one adult one extra year, or the same money to reduce child mortality for a hundred strangers in a different country?

The answer to that one is very clear: the G7 have more than enough money to fix both extreme poverty (it's just 40 billion $ a year to end hunger [1]) and access to quality medical care (which is a purely USA problem, everyone else has sorted that out decades if not - in the case of Germany - centuries ago) at the same time. There is no need to pit these two issues side-to-side at all.

> Does the treatment actually reduce mortality, or is it just an expensive placebo?

At least for stuff that's not on off-label use, proving efficiency is a mandatory criteria for being allowed to be sold. And some quackery aside, most of the off-label stuff at least has some scientific backing proving that it can actually help.

I would love to make it a felony to employ illegal labor.

I also would like a reckoning over farm labor. If it's possible to tear down the neo-serf system for agricultural work via a goods pricing war, that's fine with me. I would labor in the fields for a month or two out of the year. (I've done hard outdoor work before, I'm not just saying that.) I just don't want to lose my normal job, mortgage, or insurance because I'm out somewhere else for a bit.
I don't think you should've been downvoted. The articles covering this topic all seem intent on painting Bridgewater as the Branch Davidians of Wall St. (a view I somewhat agree with), so it's nice to see another perspective. If you have some time, can you answer my questions:

- What was your role at the company?

- What was the interview process like?

- Can you describe what a normal day looked like for you?

- How often did you interact with RD?

- What was the book's biggest mischaracterization/exaggeration of RD/BW?

- What was the book's most accurate assessment?

- Why did you get fired? What was the firing process like (any NDAs/noncompetes)?

IME many of the earlier new frameworks were somewhat poor attempts at replicating established players from other languages. That resulted in a lot of cargo culting of bad code, then inevitably churn. I think that's one (of several) reason(s) why Express became more ubiquitous early on. Then from there, since Express became the most popular, and it was more of a micro framework, it allowed multiple competing sub frameworks to emerge. I really tried to use some of the other JS frameworks at the time, and having migrated from Python / PHP always felt they were not very usable by comparison.

Moreover, JS really encouraged the use of API driven development + React, at a time when that trend was in general growing. I bet this impacted the ORM development space, as I suspect FE style devs were perhaps more demanding of an ORM while more backend oriented devs were perhaps fine writing SQL. With other frameworks I find the coupling of ORM and template views to be slightly more natural. Maybe this is just me inventing story lines but its how it feels. I think the lack of a quality ORM _really_ hurt the most.

Lastly there was a growing trend towards micro dependencies and assembling from parts, and I think it promised more than it could deliver. I think if Node had shipped a higher quality standard lib, perhaps akin to Go or (maybe) how Deno is trying to do, the story might have looked much different.

This is my take as a consumer, rather than creator / maintainer of these frameworks, so not sure how accurate this is. Just my viewpoint with my dev career growing alongside the early emergence of Node.

the article presents the most cynical israeli perspective from the outset and it's not till the very end that the author considers that palestinians may have legitimate grievances. the author still uses personal biases and partisan sources to discredit/dismiss the palestinian cause (representing israel as wanting peace and palestinians as being inherently violent).

Any money transfer mechanism where the sender has recourse means the transfer agent is looking at a liability - both by having to have a whole dispute department like any credit card processor and/or paypal and an actual dollar liability where they have to refund someone that got scammed without being able to recover the money.

The obvious conclusion is they'll have to start charging everyone transfer fees to pay for the people that fall for stupid scams.

My ad hoc response would be that this is a question of maturity. In an unexplored area you have to experiment to find the principles that work. Once you have found them, you should use them, everyone rediscovering them on their own is probably a waste of time. On the other hand discovering something on your own can aid a deeper understanding, so maybe it is not too bad after all. And it provides an opportunity to reevaluate, maybe the environment has changed in such a way that the principles also have to change.

I used an LLM to generate a summary of your article:

It's possible there are no real protections to ensure a clawback is "legit," other than shifting the burden of verification from the customer to the bank. Now fraudsters need to convince the bank that a payment was invalid, compared to convincing a customer that an address is what they expected.
> an actual dollar liability where they have to refund someone that got scammed without being able to recover the money

I think you're being much more optimistic about what banks will actually be doing than me. I hope it's not, but based on the article, it might just be "we'll try to claw back your transfer with no questions asked; if the money is still in the recipient's account, you get it back; otherwise you get nothing".

From the article:

> Zelle simply "implemented a mechanism that allows banks to claw back funds from the recipient's account and return them to the sender."
Considering the gang violence and high rates of larceny that plagued SF's most popular neighborhoods such as the Mission until the 2010's, I feel like things are not that bad in most parts of the city now, and are trending in a positive direction, COVID excluded. If someone wasn't in the City at that time, of course they wouldn't know that, and they might feel like things are worse than ever now. But it wouldn't be true.

But even then, SF wasn't Gotham City, and it's also not now.

SF suffers from specific issues: political corruption (Ed Lee's administration is responsible for so much of SF's current blight), homelessness, and theft. Those problems are the same as every city in the US right now, even the conservative ones. We need to solve them, for sure.

But alluding to Gotham City and memeing about a billionaire with anger issues and a penchant for beating up homeless people to swoop in is how we get people spraying homeless encampments with bear mace. Not really effective.

It's only an orthographic convention. English and all other languages can make compound nouns of arbitrary length, and the parts can but don't have to be nouns. In fact, there don't have to be any nouns in a compound noun! E.g. backup.

English just puts spaces between the parts usually, but as I understand it, this is unusual among Germanic languages.
Based on their definitions (https://imgur.com/a/Ta848Lu)

- We already are at Level 1+ with GPT 4, but they are basically assistants and not truly AGI.

- Level 2 "Competent level" is basically AGI (capable of actually replacing many humans in real world tasks). These systems are more generalized, capable of understanding and solving problems in various domains, similar to an average human's ability.
The jump from Level 1 to Level 2 is significant as it involves a transition from basic and limited capabilities to a more comprehensive and human-like proficiency.

However, the exact definition is tautological - capabilities better than 50% of skilled adults.

So IMO the paper basically states in a lot of words that we not at AGI and is restating the common understanding of AGI to be "Level 2 Competent", but doesn't otherwise really add to understanding of AGI.

That was one thing my employer got right when they built out the current HQ. Lots of small huddle rooms and conference rooms. Anything with <5 seats doesn’t require a reservation. Anything with 5+ needs a reservation, but there are enough that they’re easily found (even pre-COVID).

The CEO and CFO still have real offices. But the other C-suite are open plan (sort of, different walls and a couple of C-only conference rooms).

As far as open office goes, it’s probably as good as it gets. I don’t love it but I don’t hate it. I could stay home, but go in 3x week.

Being banks (not that you can't otherwise, but still) it's also entirely possible for them to overdraw your account to do so.

And then if you don't care about that, close your account and report it to Chex Systems, which will make opening any bank or CU account quite difficult.
