Bangkok, Thailand (US citizen).

Pros: Friendly people. Cheap housing and low cost of living, great food, good public transportation, world-class shopping and dining. Low crime if you aren't into drugs or antagonizing people. Close to beaches and national parks (jungles). Easy to visit all of SE Asia. Relatively wealthy for the region (though not Singapore-level wealthy or clean).

Cons: Dirty, crowded, terrible traffic. Sidewalks challenging for walking in some areas. Difficult to learn the language, impossible to actually integrate (always a farang -- foreigner -- no matter how long you live here).

I would choose Singapore if I didn't mind paying crazy money to live there. I would choose Osaka if I could get a long-term visa for Japan (and I may do that eventually). I would maybe choose HCMC/Saigon over Bangkok except the motorbikes make me crazy in Vietnam.

> When the sequel took 15 years to come out, it was just cringey

Nothing makes me feel more ancient than when I watch/play something from the 2000's that I found funny and edgy at the time, and now it... just doesn't hit. I want to still enjoy it, but I also find myself kind of rolling my eyes.

On the other hand, when you revisit something you enjoyed back then and it still holds up in spite of the limitations of the time, you feel a new respect for it. But not many things hold their luster after so many years.

Syracuse, Ny

Pros:
* cost of living is very cheap
* ~4 hours from Boston, nyc, Toronto
* lots of nature
* for the col, there is a solid quality of life
* winters are not as bad as it’s portrayed in media

Cons:
* crime and poverty for the city size
* typical rust belt issues (although Micron still says they are coming)

I work remote and live very well in this area, and I’m sort of a home body so I mostly enjoy a quiet chill life with my family. I usually have to go to the office in nyc a few times a year (55 min flight) and that lets me get my fix of food and fun so it has worked for me for the past several years since I have bought a house here
Summary: Google tried to "nano"-trench Louisville, KY using 2" deep trenches (by comparison micro-trenching is typically 6" deep) then use epoxy to cover the trench. The epoxy didn't stand up to tires. Google tried to replace the epoxy with asphalt but that damaged the fiber. Google determined at that point that nano-trenching wouldn't work and didn't want to spend additional money to remedy the situation, so they abandoned Louisville.

My story in NC:

Aug 2015: Google Fiber sent me a T-shirt promising Fiber would be available soon!

Jan 2017: AT&T Fiber available to my address. $70/month for 1 Gbps.

Aug 2023: Google Fiber finally available at my address. $70/mo for 1 Gbps, $100/mo for 2 Gbps.

So yeah, Google got AT&T to get off their butts, but it took Google 8 years to get to my address. Meanwhile, AT&T is still $70/mo, includes HBO (er, Max), and is reliable, so I don't really have any reason to switch.

That said, I'm considering having GF installed anyway as long as they're in the neighborhood and running dual-WAN for a while. I can always cancel it and then my home is setup for both ISPs.
It makes for a nice parallel, since the original version of godbolt was just a split tmux session with vim running on one side, and "watch 'gcc -S -o /dev/stdout'" on the other. The main advantage of putting it online is not needing all of the compilers locally.
It's bizzare to me too, we changed professor halfway through the semester because the course is being teached by two lecturers. One of the reasons that he listed is python doesn't really train your critical thinking and our seniors who is taught python is worse than the generation before them that is being taught in c/c++, but the professor want a more "modern" language that's why they chose dlang (also dlang is way harder to got because of its "obscure" state) so here in Jakarta state university dlang is our main language for programming
The author is definitely wrong about one thing (probably several, but who's counting):

"There is actually a relatively easy fix: if we insist on reading numbers with the most significant digit on the right (which we do), and the computer insists on storing less significant components first (which it does), these two desires can be reconciled by printing the hex dump from right to left"

Nope, that won't work. The reason is that you don't know whether the items in the hex dump are bytes, words, dwords, qwords, etc.

If your hex dump was all 32 bit words, it would kinda work, but the addresses would be "swizzled" (03 02 01 00 07 06 05 04, etc. guh!)

But what about hexdump("hello world!") which would become

lleh ow o !dlr

There's really no fix. Hex dumps on a byte oriented computer must be oriented in a consistent way wrt. address. The only think I can think of is some kind of hover or alternate view if you highlight a series of bytes.
This looks convenient and powerful. Good share!

I personally setup an instance of Homebridge on the device running Pi-Hole, then use HomeKit on my Apple products to turn Pi-Hole on/off as if it were a light bulb.
In poor countries there aren't enough doctors. Billions of people don't have access to healthcare and that won't change until the country becomes wealthier. Public healthcare that covers everyone can't happen because the reality of poverty makes it impossible. For these billions of people, the valid comparison isn't human doctor vs AI, it's no treatment vs AI. I am extremely optimistic about the positive role of AI in medicine for this reason.
Given their penchant for abandoning things on a whim, I never really understood why people would ever choose to use a service like this, from Google.
Should be 50% off in that case!
It depends on the specifics, but in general if your settings are correct and the hardware isn't doing something whacky/buggy then it should be deterministic. The math itself is deterministic, the only randomness comes from temperature (intentional randomness introduced in software) and some bugginess with GPUs that weren't designed for this workload.
So you describe a couple of things LLMs seem near ideal for, and one thing that is a horrific failure of information management that it's shocking if doctors are wasting their time on, and a case for other automation.

At my GP at least, all of this is presented to doctors digitally, all notes are digital, and all requisition of follow up tests are digital, and my initial consultations are all phone or video and only follow up visits are in person and only if a physical examination or tests are needed.
Thank you so much, we always use your resources and it's basically our main go-to if we don't understand anything from dlang.org (which happens majority of the time) I hope you can keep making videos and maybe start doing some programming problems so we can better understand where each syntax is used

I am truly thankful and will continue to binge watch your vids

better than making it seem like you had just done it yourself, you could use the Menu() function to simulate all the menu navigation necessary to actually get to that screen!

funnily enough, jabbing all the buttons on the calculator and having to select functions via menu listings created one of the comfiest development environments I've ever used. after a while, banging out a screensaver or fake menu became second nature.
I fought with the review admins about this crap a lot when I was at Google.
When you're working toward readability, code that isn't related to change is not in scope. The reviewer can comment on it but you're not expected to change it. That is in the official "rules".

I probably watch too much popular media, but I am only thinking of bigger crimes where it seems like the rational choice is to attempt a coverup.

Murder? Check. Stealing a Snicker's bar? Probably just leave the evidence in place.

What is the threshold where you have to make the call? White-collar crimes feel the only place where you could make the argument that further action on the scene is likely to leave behind more evidence.
ChromeOS puts Chrome in a nice safe sandbox (in addition to the sandboxing of Chrome tabs that happens on all OSes) that used selinux and other technologies. This requires modifications to Chrome. Replicating that for another browser might be harder than modifying ChromeOS to add something like this.

Not all of the employees are working on the tech side. I can only imagine Spotify has a ton of business operations, sales, legal, etc. It's a worldwide company, too.

And when it comes to product development teams, 3 is pretty minimal. I'm sure most teams have more people than that. I'm simply pointing out that there are a lot of corners of functionality within the platform and one way you can press the gas pedal to accelerate your roadmap is fragmenting areas of concern and forming teams around those fragments. If the conditions for making those bets change, you undo that by consolidating teams, lengthening roadmaps, and downsizing staff (in some order).
Yes, it's a cosine similarity between those sets.
> Jacob drove the wreckage to Lompoc City Airport and unloaded it in a hangar. He then cut up and destroyed the airplane wreckage and, over the course of a few days, deposited the detached parts of the wrecked airplane into trash bins at the airport and elsewhere, which was done with the intent to obstruct federal authorities from investigating the November 24 plane crash.

I mean, I would pay to watch this movie.

Huge difference between the two. You can create a moat around your business, so that competitors find it hard to match the services and value you provide.

Vendor lock in is a moat created around the customer, so that they find it hard to switch even if someone else in the market is offering a better product.

I remember when this video came out, and think it's super neat they made it a special case to fix at 301 views when the site stopped doing that.

Coming to think of it, Money is just a token based game and Elon operates above it should've already stopped me, you're right
Can they not offset these expenses against their tax? If you’re running a business out of your vehicle, the cost of operating that vehicle is the cost of running the business which should be treated like that by the tax code.
I wonder what happens if you violate the 0 xor 1 rule by hard linking a directory - it is strongly discouraged for very good reasons but was at least historically possible ( https://askubuntu.com/questions/210741/why-are-hard-links-no... comments discuss a bit in between the dire warnings). Or maybe it's not possible on newer systems that have such a cache?

Just something more to think about.
I already don't use them for my own stuff, and have recommended against them when asked. They're just ensuring that I start discounting anything of theirs without consideration or benefit of the doubt.

We're outlier in the TV market. 95% of buyer don't care Rec.2020 and continue using TV until it broken (maybe 80%?). OLED isn't for who use it for a decade.

Yes it is tough when you hate your work. That describes me for too much of my working life. A solution is to architect an escape plan and relentless try to execute it, even if you keep failing to escape. The hardest part of the escape plan is that it often means work days go for 8 hours to 14 hours though
I still have my cuecat! :C
How about ads popping up in the system tray and no local user accounts to name two big ones. And my personal pet peeve, can't set taskbar buttons to never combine. It is the same as Windows 10, except less good.

I'm guessing you're Finnish (by your surname) so that's all a bit relative, I'm Australian so this is more local by my perspective.

It wasn’t environmentalists that killed nuclear but power companies due to them not being economically competitive compared to other investments. In theory it seems like a solid choice, but in practice it simply hasn’t lived up to the promises for a wide range of different reasons.

Even China nuclear’s biggest recent success has been fairly anemic. In 2022 they hit 417,800 / 8,388,600 = 5% despite rolling out more nuclear every year since 2008. Back in 2008 there where at 68,394 / 3,481,985 = 2% nuclear. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_sector_in_China

Meanwhile PV Solar went from 75,256 in 2016 to parity with nuclear in 2022 417,700 GWh/year.

Wind was at parity with nuclear in 2012 (97,394 nuclear vs 95,978 wind) but by 2022 it was almost double nuclear at 824,000 GWh. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_sector_in_China

And that’s in a country with extremely low construction costs and little concern for environmental issues etc.

> But when you have a website with multiple pages where 90% of the HTML is copy pasted from the rest, it just stops making sense

Yeah, don't do that. Use server-side includes for all the common elements. If your server doesn't support server-side includes then they're pretty easy to replicate with a couple of lines of JS, or via a web component. (But HTML really should have a client-side include tag. The Object and iframe tags sort of work but not properly.)

> So for most of HTML's life, we've used the wrong tool for the job

Hard disagree. HTML is great for large websites, e.g. news sites and wikis, etc., especially if you have a decent server setup. It's not so good for web apps, but we all know that.

> HTML should have had first-class support for templating

Would have been nice, but it's easy enough to just do that on the server with SSI or PHP, or XML+XSLT, or any of the many server frameworks.
> As always, 100% of a consumer’s tip goes to the Dasher.

“As always” is a lie. Moving the tip prompt to after checkout is far more consequential than they’re admitting.

Previously, the way it worked was that you could tip $0 and they would compensate by steadily increasing their offer for the job until a dasher accepted it. This essentially meant that pre-checkout “tips” were bonus money for DoorDash, not the workers. It sounds like that scam is finally going away. No wonder they refer to the regulatory changes as “bad policies”. This is coming in other major markets and they know it.
What prior evidence do we have of government honoring such "if you were honest we'd be easier on you" crap?

Zero incentive to trust such a statement. It's backed by nothing.
An evolution of this process would make it feasible to do retrieval-augmented generation using information from video content. I've thought about trying to do this to improve the (already impressive) abilities LLM's possess as a creative writing assistant/rubber ducky; a lot of good writing advice is on YouTube in the form of video essays, tutorials, lectures, etc.
There's an arcade near me that has a functioning Battlezone cabinet. The use of a periscope in combination with the 3D graphics is so genius.

That's an increased risk of accident, but not a big danger. In your scenario, you're getting rear-ended at 10 mph. That's unlikely to cause a serious danger, whereas there is a real difference in surviving a crash at 70 versus 75.
But why is 2FA superior? I understand that a yubikey seems more secure than the secure enclave of a computer, but that's a very specific factor (yubikey could incidentally be a single factor actually).

Is it just that more is better?
When does it become a cover-up vs "oopsie, didn't know"?

If he had dismantled the plane before the FAA knew about the crash, would that still qualify as destroying evidence?
I guess that's true, but seems like the only risk would be having to install Windows if one wasn't happy.
I can get new internet service easily enough, and it'll come with a sign-up bonus.

So if one service has significant advantages, I'll switch. Even if it might not last a long time.
What you're describing is a process and information management failure that ought to be addressed first, sure.

I book a video consult. I talk to a doctor, who has an initial description of my symptoms from my booking on her computer. She takes notes on a computer (I have access to them). If needed, she orders labs on a computer. I go in, and there is no paper, just an electronic record, and while there may well be paper in the process in some instances behind the scenes, data entry people ensures it is all added to the electronic record. If labs are not needed, she'll submit my prescription electronically to my local pharmacy.

This is how it's worked when I talk to my doctor for years (UK; not nearly all GPs have gone this far)

It may well "only save the bare minimum" of the actual labour happening behind the scenes, but with a well functioning system, it saves the expensive, resource constrained part of the work.
Missing from the headline:

>"On a quarter of the plots, the mycorrhizal fungi enabled up to 40% better yields. That's huge," says the study's co-lead, Marcel van der Heijden, a soil ecologist at the University of Zurich and at Asgroscope. But there's a catch: on a third of the plots, the yield did not increase and sometimes even decreased.

Considering studies and trials that fail will also fail to get attention there's a problem: a significant uphill battle to getting the relationship right between fungi and crops to actually increase productivity.

These are complicated relationships that swing between parasitic and mutually beneficial depending on species, varieties, microclimate, and your favorite shade of blue. It is not at all a case of "add some fungi and everything will be better!", a lot of stuff has to be mechanistically understood and controlled and we're right at the beginning of that.
If I can miss subtle and not-so-subtle bugs in my own team's code that I'm working on every single day, what are the chances I'll get it right on somebody else's project?

Being able to MITM any HTTPS request on my system is a privilege I'd not grant lightly. It's up there with browsers, browser extensions (with "all content on all sites" access), and password managers in terms of blast radius in case anything goes wrong.
Yes this has been known for a while. However it is often important to have scientific studies backing well-known information. Well-known information is often wrong, and there are also people who are familiar with the prevalence of the knowledge but are unconvinced or misinformed. In these cases, studies help avoid confusion and advance our collective knowledge.

In this case I am sure earlier studies have been done, but I would not write off further exploration just because a topic has been previously studied.
I like it. I feel like I needed something like this recently but can't remember why. Not sure when I'll need this, but nice to have in the toolbelt.
So then how ARE we supposed to spend our lives on this planet and where is this defined?
Median response is pretty specific. It would take a lot of justification to arrive here. The base model is predicting the next token. Even saying it has personas is anthropomorphizing this process.

Malaysia, close to Kuala Lumpur.

Pros: Good food, strong English proficiency. Good diversity. Easy to get into the top 1% of tech. Very easy to set up a non-VC backed company, and you'll make sweet margins.

Lots of talent, roughly equivalent to Singapore. They have NUS and ivy league grads, but we have the population funnel. You can have all the smart conversations you have on HN all day and all night with someone out here. Plenty of tech events in KL, probably comparable to European capitals.

Cons: Middle income trap - retiring with a job is extremely difficult; most either end up doing a business, working in gov, or staying as a corporate slave long enough to get a VP position. High sin tax (alcohol, tobacco). Work discrimination is fully legal. Affirmative action is also a heated topic. Uptick in racism as we go through some political shifts, but it's still decent IMO. Very little VC funding here. VCs prefer Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, but VC-backed companies often set up engineering/R&D offices in Malaysia.

Mixed: There's good tolerance of LGBT+ here. Violence is uncommon. However, it's tolerance, not full acceptance. Don't force your views on others and you'll be fine. Everyone has very different religious and political views from their neighbors.

Stats say crime rate is comparable to Canada, but I think it's mostly the poorer areas. KL is mostly gentrified now; most of the people who would be delivering drugs are now delivering McDonald's.

Looking at packets will only get you so far if they're encrypted.

I think it's the fact that it was applied to a field.

"A team of researchers from the universities of Zurich and Basel, Agroscope, and the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL) has now shown for the first time on a large scale that applying mycorrhizal fungi in the field works. The fungi were mixed into the soil before sowing crops on 800 trial plots at 54 maize farms in northern and eastern Switzerland."
I don't think there's a big difference for the customer. In either case the vendor has full grasp on those family jewels and can name any price for their product or service. See also: everyone eagerly awaiting an actual viable alternative to NVidia's GPUs. Are they a good product? Yes. Do customers want there to be a competitor so they can pursue a dual vendor strategy and do some price negotiation? Also yes.
