But we, as a society, are hypocrites. There are people (anecdotally I think a lot or even a majority), who, when asked, would say that alcohol is not a drug. Simply using the law (alcohol is legal), they will say it cannot be a drug as drugs are illegal or subscribed. This is, of course, non sense.

The other point is that many dui’s and accidents do not happen to alcoholics but rather casual users of alcohol, like students having a drink, no idea what their limits are and getting into a car. That’s different from actual alcoholics who down half a liter of vodka just to get out of bed. I believe they should be treated differently; the latter is ill, the former is a criminal.

Addiction is a disease but society is not kind to the sufferers. It will change though; before the 90s, most mental illness was just ‘don’t whine, walk it off’. Doctors in 80s would send people with anxiety or depression home with a clean bill of health and just ‘work hard, it’ll pass’. If they were women and the doctors men, it would be considered as female hysterics. This all changed quite a bit over the past decades, at least in the west. Addiction will get there and in some countries that is going faster than others.

Any actual Addicts (alcohol or crack or TikTok) operating heavy machinery is a bad idea; functional addicts are just not easy to recognise. An ex colleague of mine is a functional alcohol who drinks exactly 2.5 liters of vodka per day ; he doesn’t drive, he is smart, he functions fully. Not many people know he is an addict. I would say it’s easier to recognise addicts to social media far faster than him because you can see their phone, and when I see them driving while scrolling on their phone, I hope they get a dui and their license taken and then therapy; I am not sure how it’s not as dangerous as driving drunk and yet I see people swerving sitting on their phone daily while swerving without phone is very rare (at least here).
Actually the blame lies on Khronos side, alongside Google, Intel and AMD ineptude to do anything of value with OpenCL.

For a very long time Apple's platforms were the only ones with a proper OpenCL support, until they gave up and went their own merry way, without Khronos politics.
If people are still going to pay money for D&D then they truly do not care about the hobby. I must admit before the OGL fiasco I didn't see much of the allure of other systems, but that really pushed me away and the world of TTRPGs is so much brighter and better than crappy D&D.

I still play in one D&D campaign, but it was started before the fiasco, but I have already decided that at least I won't be running another D&D game.

> unfortunately, this meant the work automatically went into the public domain

To clarify, only in the US (and a few others not following the Berne convention). Night of the Living Dead is still in copyright for 95%-ish of the world (unlike some people insisting that "It's Public Domain worldwide." because sadly that doesn't how copyright works.) This is of course more complicated (rule of shorter term may be applied here but that's a can of worms), but generally US copyright regime was weird (and still kind of is since that other countries do have a separate moral and economic rights).
What the Nazis did was totally legal in the Third Reich, back when they did it. They made sure of that. Yet it was totally clear just how against the humanity it was afterwards. Should the victors have let them go at the Nuremberg trials? No, so they used international law and saw this as a starting point for the universal declaration of human rights.

I think it is good that people and companies should think about what will be seen as a crime against humanity afterwards. I'd say anything that goes against the universal declaration of human rights now is a good start, even if there are national loopholes right now. Actors that know now that they are e.g. poisioning the environment/people or actively prevent a solution to climate crisis with millions of starving people on the other side of the scale, know today that what they do is wrong. They just think they will get away with it.

The question is about spirit of the law VS letter of the law. Just because all you did was legal doesn't mean you are innocent or right. Just because you did something illegal doesn't mean you are wrong (e.g. it was illegal to hide a jew in the Third Reich).

So some of the things individual actors so is already illegal under international law and/or a violation of human rights. And I think we would all profit from the faint possibility of that ever becoming a thing.

Honestly, I think American residential construction gets a lot of undeserved flak for the materials used. For the expected lifespan and the location, the materials really aren't bad; the problems I see are with workmanship quality, and the whole old-fashioned stick-building practice instead of doing more work in a factory to ensure better quality.

It sounds like what you're saying is that younger generations have more confidence and self-respect than previous generations.

If it was previously common for children to be exploited and lose their childhoods, then I can certainly see how that led the older generations to be such seemingly spineless adults with no self esteem. Abuse does that to people.

Fortunately, it sounds like they (well...most of them...) recognized the damage done by their upbringing and sought to raise their own children better than their parents raised them. Breaking out of the cycle of abuse is a hard thing to do; good on them.
Going on the comments on a reddit thread isn't a good way of understanding what's actually happening in the world.

It could be worse.

An estimated 1/4 of all registered sex offenders were minors at the time that they became offenders. The single year of your life when you're most likely to become one is 14.

There are a lot of horror stories like a guy whose 13 year old girlfriend send him a nude photo, her parents found out and reported it, and now he can't live within a certain distance of an elementary school for the rest of his life.

Yeah, if a 24 year old man has pictures of a 13 year old, that's a problem. But a 14 year old boy having pictures of a 13 year old girl?

As a society, we really don't believe in forgiveness.
Wasn't "Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey" a result of the characters entering public domain? I don't think it really did a lot to bring Winnie the Pooh to peoples mind, and I don't recall anything else based on Winnie coming out.

If you need to hit 3/5 you need to set the goals so that they are easy enough to surely succeed. Maybe you fail two to make them look hard, after you know you passed three.
I just chatted with someone two days ago that has been trying to get through the medical process for five years. No details on her case but seriously, the FAA’s 1950’s stance on health is pretty ridiculous. That pilots have had to spend 10s of thousands of dollars just to be cleared, and that this is even expected by this point, is just dumb.

So what you are saying is you have to live with people who demand not dealing with the result of their work, because the rest of the industry is allowing for such behaviour?

Never before have I heard such a good argument for formalizing the job. If architects or civil engineers were to do the same we had building collapsing left and right.

That depends on what real world use you're targeting, but unfortunately I'm not aware of anything better than that leaderboard in terms of sample size and model coverage.
If you are exclusively buying singles that screams to me you are just powergaming and netdecking your decks instead of actually figuring out the game and playing it.

Sure you can get a better deal that way - meaning a higher win rate deck while spending less money, but a lot of the fun of MtG is (or at least was when I played) the discovery of new cards in the set, trading cards with your gaming group(s), and trying to build the best deck(s) you collectively had access to. When people started to just look what wins tournaments and just order whole decks as singles from web stores it ruined the hobby.

A) There was less cards to go around for the rest of us

B) they were just playing something someone else designed and play tested and tuned for GP or PT

That's a separate project called ReplicatorAgent. Unfortunately the Stargate program has had a number of run ins with them and the Air Force is merciless in shutting those kinds of projects down.

Fair point. I think for comparison it's interesting that Intel spent most of a decade on a single process.
Because you lose a lot of ‘freedom’. You cannot enforce as strictly as Singapore (where spiting gum on the street is illegal and such) without a lot of enforcement and that goes against the US constitution; to protect the state, Singapore for instance has gun laws that will get you fined, jailed and lashes if you have a gun or bullets or both. Singapore has free speech in the constitution but it’s not quite that free, again to make sure the state can have full control. These things are currently not compatible with the values of the US.

As always, take Japanese crime statistics with a large grain of salt. I remember the Japanese police have quoted something like a 90%+ clearance rate (uh, yeah, right).

Also, do I remember incorrectly or did they not go on a serious campaign to break the yakuza at the same time?

A lot of petty crime is enabled by the organized crime providing the infrastructure (fencing, financing, etc.) required for individuals to be able to convert their crime into money.

(See, for example, the current "shoplifting" spree in the US or "bike theft" rings. While individuals often commit the crimes, gangs are the big enablers by functioning as fences. It's why your stolen bike can wind up in Mexico before 24 hours have passed.)
That's literally a feature of the platform. If you open the photos app and type text in it will give you the photos containing that text.

If your concern is "apple is harvesting my data" then no. All of apple's various analysis systems ("AI") are entirely local. This does mean you get a bunch of duplicated work as every device redoes the same analysis but on the other hand it saves you from "how do we defend against a compromised network".
The US has this same trend. Burglaries have dropped precipitously at similar rates. https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-... https://www.statista.com/statistics/191243/reported-burglary...

It's nothing magical. People don't value stuff you can steal at home anymore. The 4K TV is worth less than a nice CRT or flat screen was then. Computers and phones don't hold value long and they're often with you. Face to face crime is more common in the US, like burglaries involving people still inside.

You might just own nothing and be happy.
Was it originally yellow gloves? That's an old poster.
Yeah, BlenderGIS. It's the shiznit. I use that thing for basically all my terrain now; there's no tergen as good as ol' Planet Earth..

If you're doing visualizations or interactive stuff, it's also FAR better than just importing DEMs and displacing a subsurf plane, for the precisely same reason you can't have a perfectly accurate map on a 2d plane. The BlenderGIS stuff, meanwhile, will always be correcting for those sphere hijinks, so when fresh data comes in it isn't progressively more and more off. Which is precisely what happened to me when I tried to re-create FDR (flight data) on terrain generated from DEMs. The track kept deviating more . . and more . . and more . . even though the latlons were correct. BlenderGIS set me straight, and looked better.

Dang, I'd give my left nipple to do this stuff professionally full time, but whatcha gonna do.
Oh I thought we were talking income tax. VAT rates are not a concern if prices are generally low, like in Bulgaria.

Drinking beer so you don’t need to drink water from a bottle - well ok, you do you.
It's interesting to read about this seeming to improve in Japan.

I'm friends with many people in the (tuner) car community there and car theft as well as parts theft is still happening too often for locals.

It's gotten to the point (well, it's been this way already for a while) where locals do not want photos of their cars posted on the internet unless their license plates are censored. This is because the license plates describe roughly the area they live in. So someone could spend time poking around Street View on Google Maps and potentially find where a local lives and either steal their car or attempt to remove expensive parts (aftermarket wheels, for instance) for selling.
A 12x decline is staggering, as is the consistent year-over-year drop. This smells like a data issue to me. I wonder if any changes to crime reporting standards, the definition of burglary, etc. have been rolling out.
Isn't this how it's handled in other countries when someone can't work due to medical issues? Surely they have some way of discouraging fraud, probably by making the doctor responsible or perhaps requiring multiple doctors to cross-check.
Merry holidays, HN:

JC's story reminds me a bit of my late grandfather. GF was a hustler, social, progressive, and had a heavy Texarkana accent. He grew up in the Dustbowl era and didn't have money or enough to eat. Then WW2 came around and it was a hard fought and interesting time for him. He was his CO's bookie and his company's loanshark. Post-WW2 was a bit difficult but there was continuity and security of remaining a professional soldier as an NCO. Rarely spent money on themselves, but moderately generous with friends and family. Never financially-insecure and had triple retirements. I have their pristine Telefunken radio console they had in Germany which held several Johnny Cash albums (vinyl). They're not in VG shape, but they're playable. In closing, one thing I think JC and GF shared is they smiled a bit smugly, defiantly, and warmly, something the world can never fade or take away and something that emanates from within.
The 90% clearance rate might be a result of the confession = conviction and pressure pressure pressure = confession system.
I think if you're in the 99.96 percentile for low height in women, that additional foot would be pretty difficult. You'd have a very hard time reaching all of the controls, and it's not like you can stand up to do so.
Actually, if I had to guess about the US situation, I'd tend to blame the zinc lobby. US 1 cent coins are mostly made of zinc now, and only plated with copper.
You can do that outside of cities in many countries though, but yes, in Singapore (also in HK and large swats of bangkok or Tokyo) you can do that in the city. In HK I often left my bag in the seat of the coffee place (including outside) to pick up someone from the MTR; people don’t touch it.
Are Tesla’s margins really that great? I know their stock keeps going up but in terms of revenue vs costs, I didn’t think they were that much better than any other luxury car brand-although I accept on reflection that I can’t identify why I think that, which probably means it’s not based on anything.

Regardless of supply chain maturity and so on, I think you are wrong that the average family is less than 4 years away from a new car though.
The failure is that the accomodations would be reasonable, but the disconnect between builder and buyer lets the bad design get solidified.

And someone else already replied saying the ADA forces new buildings to comply. So if we did that with planes in this comparison, new models would fit more people out of the factory. Would have done so for decades.

I have some use scenario (finding backlinks in a folder containing thousands of markdown files) where this method fits perfectly and returns results instantaneously (even ripgrep takes a second or two to find all the backlinks as it doesn't use an index).

Ok, OP's argument was about workplace conditions, not low employment numbers, and they claimed that conditions stopped being good around 1980 with no evidence to back it up. We are at less than 4% unemployment so it's a very good thing we don't need 100x more workers to do things the way we did them 100 years ago.

I will say, I'm a 100% knowledge worker, and work from a laptop, but hard labor is good for you (within reason). We have all sorts of illnesses and obesity in modern society because our bodies were built for stamina that we no longer make use of.
And the fact that the Japanese police won't take on "difficult" cases. If it isn't a slam dunk, they will refuse to even start to do anything about it.

These and similar attempts are like those "perpetual motion machines" that captivated people's imagination for a long time.

That the machine will generate energy and that would consume energy and thus will keep moving forever.

Similar hopes here and everywhere.

A model will generate its own input and will watch it's own output and in process, will become more intelligent than it really is.

rg if you want to find stuff in files

fd if you want to find stuff in filenames

fzf for when you want a fuzzy menu type of search on top of this.

I can't recommend fzf enough you can do some really powerful stuff with it. If you don't know it: it gives you a fuzzy search on things you pipe into it. It is powerful because it also can do things like running special commands ("preview") on the currently selected entry/line and allows for displaying the output in a separate pane.

So you could build a thing that e.g. let's you search and multiselect (enqueue) your music collection and on each entry display audio metadata using a custom script.

Or a blazingly fast PDF-content searcher that opens the PDF in the end. The possibilities are endless.

As a non American outside of the US I’m sort of gleeful. Nice to know that this shit is done to everyone.

Sure, but when an electron hits a surface (like a detector), it doesn't hit it with a splotch of 4 picometer in size, it hits it as a dot (as far as one can measure, given the uncertainty principle)... right? Same as any photon.
It's definitely harder to compensate for having a shorter reach. But it's not a competition. You don't need to put controls further apart to allow a taller person to fit, you can make it happen with chair adjustments.

Social media is an echo chamber for people with nothing better to do that represents a tiny part of population. In real world many industries would gladly disqualify professionals from working at the first hint of screws flying loose. Especially where any threat to safety have high potential to be fatal.
"Woke" started as a term used by young American social progressives as a reference to becoming aware of things which they had previously been unaware. Sort of a "Neo waking up from being in the Matrix" type of waking from a dream, delusion or false reality.

This could cover almost any social, economic or political issue. Generally though it was used around issues related to race, gender or sexuality. People would sometimes use the phrase "Stay Woke" as a shorthand for something like "Stay aware of racial or gender disparities and work to counter them".

The term was subsequently used in a derisive, pejorative or mocking manner by people who perceived the first group (the "woke" people) to be factually incorrect or excessive in their demands.

People using a phrase like "woke nonsense" are expressing disdain for inserting race/gender/sexuality issues where they don't belong or being frustrated by too-extreme measures being advocated to address such issues.

There's my attempt at writing a very neutral etymology of the usage of the term.
I'm quite astonished to see people promoting intense child labour. No government in the world completely prohibits light child labour (in the household/farm, and from usually around 14 also light work outside as long as it doesn't affect school hours). Anything beyond this can and will affect them negatively as established by pretty much all research out there. You seem to have luckily made it through that, but many kids never recover from intense childhood labour.

In 2003 a home security camera was crappy, low resolution, poorly connected if at all, hard to install, expensive, and rare. I can’t quite put my finger on what has changed since then.

Although to be fair most of them are still pretty bad and expensive if you get one with rent-seeking built in.
