Apologies, I wasn’t suggesting i was closing down the conversation. I am trying to find a specific thing in the social contract that you feel is violated. We agree it’s not stealing it seems.

Re trespass, that’s not what the specific tort you referred to means. A chattel is a moveable form of property. You’re talking about the colloquial version of trespass. Happy to talk about that conception of it.

Is the idea of trespass the specific thing you feel is being violated in the social contract? If not, what is?
When those people start paying NYC income tax (which tops at around 4% of income) then I think we should cater more to them BUT they don't. The people who actually in the city and actually have to pay that tax should have their city catered to their likes. No one forces those people to work in NYC an no one forces them to drive. The vast majority of commuters outside of NYC take public transportation. People can either pay the toll or take public transportation.
I buy 5lb bags and let them sit on the counter for a week or two. Then I set aside a week’s worth for use and freeze the remainder in gallon ziplock bags with the air pressed out.

This allows me to waste less coffee and less time dialing in shots because each week’s worth will be very close in required grind setting to the previous week’s.
Ah yes, just like the Americans thought that Al Qaeda was an "existential threat" to the US. Sure, it makes sense, and it's their motive. But a motive doesn't justify a crime.
For people who dislike the "plugs", I can recommend Huawei FreeBuds (base version, not Pro). They are open design, very comfortable to wear for long periods. They have ANC, due to open design, it's not perfect, but still quite noticeable.

First of all, Israel is being criticized because their war is partly being bankrolled by US congress. North Korea also gets up to all sorts of monkey business but at least that bill is not on US tax payers.

This is a result of their lax quality (flooded with ad hoc businesses selling garbage, counterfeits, inaccurate listings, etc). When you go that route and you're the size of Amazon, it actually makes more sense to completely side-step having to deal with the flood of customers unhappy with all these problems. Just give them their money back. Don't even bother trying to get the product back if it's missing. As a bonus, you get an image boost. It's more efficient than having a process to case-by-case deal with the results of their completely abandoning quality/trust at the point of sale.
A Cultural Critique of the Tesla Cybertruck
Huh?

Why are we supposed to multiply the $40k income times the family members, but not the $160/y income (of some software engineer or middle manager or whatever)? Is your objection covering only $160k/y earning-persons supporting a family of four by themselves alone?

Even then, a $160k/y person supporting a family of four as a single-income-earner, is not a family "just getting by".
It's a family doing much much better than most.

The median household income is $74k/year, which includes tons of "2 kids" families. In California the family of 4 median income is $96k/year.

Also, a "family of 4" doesn't mean 4 wage earners, it just means the two parents working (so $80k), not their babies or 12 year olds kids. Two $40/yr earners with a family of four, would make $80k/y total, not $160/y, so it's hardly comparable: it's half.

And there are more than should be families of 4 living on $40k total. Or single-parent families of 3 doing the same. Now that's "just getting by". Especially since low end $40k/y jobs also involve a lot unemployment time, temp gigs, or uncertain income for one or two of the parents - much more than when you're in a cushier job, and with less (or no) safety deposits in the bank.

So any way one can slice it and dice it, 160k/y is not "just getting by". Not without many qualifiers for "intended lifestyle" and ignoring people making by, while working in the same city, with 1/2 to 1/4 the amount.
I've heard this about Lisp, but I don't really get how this doesn't apply to other languages. How is writing special operators in Lisp different from writing special functions in any other language?
I haven't found Bard to be particularly useful due to the lies and hallucinations. I feel like there should be more warning that the information you receive is very likely to be incorrect, given that there's a large number of people who google a question and accept the first answer they find as fact, and they'll be transitioning to this technology, perhaps initially unaware of its shortcomings.
But what is certain is that campaign money contributes to the GDP. It funds a lot of salaries.

This is the broken window fallacy. If you have two groups with diametrically opposed goals, giving them each more money to spend "increases GDP" in a local sense, but the result is that a bunch of people spend a lot of effort for a net result of zero, when it could have gone toward something useful.

I'd rather that money go to people instead of a faceless cryptofund. I think that's the joke.

Yeah, the crypto piece is just for additional silliness. For a real version of this you'd need, like, a spreadsheet with two columns.
Before I sold my previous company, a medium size ai company, it was already often an internal debate whether the EU was worth selling to for our size company.

The reality is that the EU is a much much smaller market than North America, and expensive to operate in even without onerous AI regulation.

It’s likely easier to support the EU for larger companies, but there is little doubt in my mind that this sort of regulation in the near term will ensure that Europe will always get services much later than NA, and maybe some companies will choose not to bring some products to the EU at all.
As in it didn’t happen or couldn’t/wouldn't have because the world is sooo great?

(If that's the case I'm thinking of) it was actually documented as a challenge to export restrictions, mocking them was merely a pleasant byproduct.

The EFF's legal challenge was essentially that if crypto is a munition, then this printed book explaining the crypto is also at least as much of a munition, if not more so. They gave the judge the choice between deciding that a printed book is some sort of deadly tool, or deciding that crypto wasn't conceptually a munition. Strangely, the judge ruled in the EFF's favor.
As an example, I had a Makefile that ran a JS engine a few hundred times and Deno had ~240ms of startup overheard (on a very slow computer) versus QuickJS having around 20ms. But when running CPU-intensive JS (Marked.js and highlight.js), Deno was roughly 6x faster.

I wanted to try Bun, but it had some blocking bugs at the time (which have since been resolved—or so I’ve read).
> Everything else the same, would you rather live in a world where the average person makes $100k/year and the richest person is worth $1T, or a world where you make $1k/year and the richest person $1M? Because if you're focusing on minimizing "wealth inequality", I guess you'd choose the latter, which is clearly the wrong choice.

It depends on the wealth curve, obviously, and how the rest of the market is structured. But in neither scenario are you going to see the problems of wealth inequality relaxed. Wealth inequality doesn't seem to offer society any benefit and creates the problem of poverty.
One of the hardest things with my Rust book has been finding my own technical voice. Initially I tried a more casual/funny style, but it didn't feel authentic. Eventually I came up with a more technical style where I avoid the passive voice altogether, which can be really difficult but I think ends up with a better result. Some days it feels like my editing process is just going through a chapter rewriting any passive voice which crept in when I wrote the first draft. It feels much more exact: "The ch variable is updated to the next character in the string" vs "The for expression updates the ch variable to the next character in the string".
Show HN: Fine-grained stylistic control of LLMs using model arithmetic
We developed a new framework that enables flexible control of generated text in language models. By combining several models and/or system prompts in one mathematical formula, it lets you tweak your style and combine model outputs with ease. A handy tool for those working with LLMs, looking for more fine-grained control of stylistic output. More details in our paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.14479. Feedback and potential applications are welcome.

My home has very poor ventilation so I periodically will open the windows and blast a box fan to "flush" the dirty air out. If done quickly, there's not much thermal loss.

At this point I'd rather the legislature (1) just stop, and then maybe (2) roll back what's broken. Don't try to follow up horrendously broken laws like the DMCA with more broken laws to try to arbitrarily patch things up. I'll vote for any politicians who advocate for picking a commit sometime before the Sonny Bono Copyright Extension Act and doing a git --hard reset to that.

After years of gaming I can't help but see ggml as an initialism.
I write programs at work. I don't do a lot of coding at home. I have a "Cybersecurity Esq" type job, which involves coding about 75% of the time, and the other 25% of the time is boring work. When I don't get enough coding time, I usually find myself working on projects at home. If I'm not coding, I work on fixing up some vintage computers, or soldering together small projects (that I can then code later). I don't think "hmm I haven't done enough coding this week" I just do what I want, and generally if I do a lot of coding at work, I'm not so interested in coding at home. If you're spending your coding energy at work and not at home, is that a problem for you? Get a hobby, it doesn't have to be coding. One thing I like to do is practice DJing (I suck at it, but I try), or fix up old game consoles. I think it goes back to why you got into programming in the first place - was it instant gratification, or did you think you could make things work in new ways, infinite possibilities, optimizations, or what? For me, I like the problem solving aspect of it, and it turns out I can get my 'problem solving' fix from repairing broken electronics as well.
>Multiseat in general is just super niche

That's what I thought, but I think compute/cores + gpu power + wireless networking these days makes solid case for multiseat. Instead of buying another media center computer, I have a faster main computer with better CPU + GPU, better home wireless networking to beam that capability anywhere in the house. Previously I already remote desktopped into my main computer via different screens around the house, but now my partner can do it while I'm using said computer as well. The extra money in main computer = I'm gaming at 1440p vs 1080p or rendering with 20+ threads instead of 12, while partner do their low impact media/browsing for less cost. At the point, instead of partner upgrading their PC, it's starting to look sensible to split into 3 seats, 1 for me, 1 for media centre, 1 extra for partner. Perhaps spend a few 100 on dedicated GPU for new seat instead of 1000+ on seperate system.
I hope this tax will help SK's internet services and audience thrive :(
Not really, the US is still a bigger market, but even leaving that aside, I see more handwringing from actual EU citizens as to how this will impact their local markets and jobs, than from anyone actually in the US [0][1]. It's more like those in the US are simply pointing and laughing at the EU consistently shooting themselves in the foot rather than any actual disdain from them. It actually reminds me of those who make fun of cryptocurrency while those who've "invested" in cryptocurrency think we're just "mad" that we didn't make "gainz." No, mate, we're just laughing at people who fall for such misfortune.

> It is written with intention of emotional impact and to push predefined agenda.

The "agenda" is to make people aware of the fact that Israel is deliberately targeting civilians, based on sources within the IDF who work on targeting. The "emotional impact" is that any person with normal human emotions would be sickened by the fact that Israel is killing tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza.
I knew a guy like this. He ran a small business intelligence/stock analysis shop withone assistant. He was extremely resentful that his father had only given him $1m to start off in life, because his older brother had been given $10m. My impression was that he spent a lot of mental energy mapping the $9m gap and being hyperconscious of the fact that barring a lucky strike it would probably be impossible to ever close it.
>Win32 (via Wine or Proton) is the most stable target for Linux right now

Tangential, Winamp 2.xx from the '90s runs and plays MP3s just fine on Windows 11 today. There are better apps for that today, but I still use it because nostalgia really whips the llama's ass.

Pretty wild that the same thing is not the norm in other OSs.

Even wilder is that I still have my installed copy of Unreal Tournament 99 from my childhood PC copied over to my current Win 11 machine, and guess what, it just works out of the box, 3D graphics, sound, everything. That's nearly 25 years of backwards compatibility at this point.

If that's not stable, I don't know what is.

I appreciate your opinion.

Notes has been quite a success for me. With over 1,300,000 downloads[1], and being featured in awesome tech websites[2]. Just on Ubuntu alone there are 7000 weekly active users (that have downloaded it from the Ubuntu Store).

My new app Plume is going to be a big improvement over Notes. First, your data is and will always be as simple as Markdown/plaintext. My new block editor is based completely on plain text while still offering advance views (with a minimalistic syntax). It's also faster than any other in its category, even faster than native apps on macOS! I'll soon put benchmarks on the website.

All I can say is, sign up to get an email update and check it out when it's ready. Most of the features will be free with only some advance features paid.

BTW, what do you mean by "logseq's on-disk format"? That it's local-first? If so, Plume is also.

You implied that in order for you to be proved wrong, the test must have 100% accuracy. I was saying that 100% accuracy is an impossible standard.

No tests in the world are 100% accurate, let alone in biology, the fact that you asked for this shows you are numerically illiterate

In Finland children are allocated to the school of their district until they are 16 or so (apart from some exception). School quality is seen as quite uniform, and poorer area schools get more funding. For-profit education or tuition (except for foreigners nowadays) is not allowed at any level of education that gives a degree.

Equal opportinity for education was a huge political project from the left in the 1960s. Nowadays its so popular that even the political right can't really criticize it, although there is a drift towards inequality, as in everything else.

Most of them work the same way though. In reality there are like 3 big distributions to target, Arch, Debian and Fedora and from there it will trickle down. Linux and the *BSDs generally work the same, put the executable in the $PATH and you're good. Where this is may differ but not by much and these days the FHS is adopted pretty much everywhere I know.
See response to sibling comment. I haven't considered it.
Bosnia is a terrible example. It is not doing fine precisely because Muslims in Bosnia are 51% of the population and demand a centralized government so that they can overrule Christians any way they please.

When Turks left about 100 years ago Muslims were a minority but thanks to much higher birth rate they now want to set the rules in Bosnia. Serbs know that, that's why they resisted, and still resist, a unified Bosnia.

Ottoman Empire tolerated Christians, true, but to achieve anything in life you had to convert to Islam. Otherwise you could just remain a haraç-paying Christian peasant without any chance of education or growth. Haraç was a tax for being a non-Muslim.

It was super hard to be a thriving Christian under Turks. In fact the Turkish policy was to demographically and economically slowly bleed Christians and for those with ambition to convert to Islam.
Because it has neither the means not the ability to act as a government. They are restricted in their ability to build structures, import or export goods, ability to import fuel, even taxes are collected by Israel on their behalf (and sometimes withheld, delayed or used to unilateral settle debts).

The distinction is that militaries typically fight wars on battle fields, even the current Russia / Ukraine war looks like this with battle lines being pushed this way and that way as one side advances or retreats.

There is nothing like that in Gaza. The difference between a Hamas militant and a civilian is simply whether they are currently holding their AK-47.

The more civilians are killed the more angry young men are drawn to the cause. Short of flattening the whole area and killing everyone I don't see an end.

It is much more aptly compared to the battles against Al-Qaida, ISIS or the Vietcong than the Nazis.
I didn't mean in general. I meant on Hacker News.

How can you compare the war in Gaza to the systemic killing of Jews by the Germans is beyond me. The war in Gaza is devastating but on the scale of wars it pales compared to the war in Ukraine, or the war in Yemen, or the civil war in Syria, or the wars in Iraq, or Afghanistan, or any other major conflict in recent history. And none of these are comparable to WW-II or the Holocaust either.

How can you compare the world today that is demanding of Israel to stop the war to the world that stood by and didn't do enough during the holocaust.

If I draw graph where I plot all world conflicts in history, with one axis being the human toll (dead, injured) and the other axis being world response (not sure what metric we should use, I'll pick number of people marching in the streets), you'll see that Israel is being singled out in a negative way. And that's before we have the discussion of "right" vs. "wrong", "who started", or the other political and historical aspects.

I disagree with "Palestinians being genocided". I think the word genocide should be used to describe some very specific circumstances and should not be used for violent conflicts even when very large number of people die.

I think your statement would sound a lot hollower if we put in in more objective terms, let me rewrite that for you:
"I wonder if that's the world felt if it wasn't 18,000 Palestinian deaths in war between Gaza and Israel following the Oct 7th attack on Israel but 6 million Jews who were systemically murdered by Hitler's Germany with the stated goal of murdering all Jews in Europe. The murders were carried out primarily through mass shootings and poison gas in extermination camps.".
I got into Audiobooks this year. I first listened on headphones or just phone loudspeaker (thought it's OK for voice).

Then I bought JBL Go 3 and it's a different experience. The speaker is compact, lightweight and has a nice design. Sound quality / loudness is fully sufficient for voice and does a great job for its size for music as well. It's waterproof, now I listen even while showering. The only downside is lack of battery level indicator.

BTW, Audible subscription is a surprisingly good deal. You can have basically any book for $10 (even those which cost $30 on Kindle).
You might get more engagement by expanding this into an actual blog post.
