They have a reasonable case. The idea of "independent federal agencies" that make substantive policy, are immune to democratic control, and also get to play-act as pseudo judicial bodies is a constitutional abomination.
Ok, I'll amend by changing to "majority". :D

I'm curious what the implication in not having a lining is. If it isn't needed, why have it on the other cans? I'm assuming it has a decreased shelf life?

Edit: I'm a little confused on the reading real quick. I am seeing that most cans are now BPA free, but it seems they are still lined with a plastic?
Accusing Red Hat of not contributing to the wider free software community is so off-base I’m not sure how to respond.

Does anyone else note the underlying racial component? All the dog families seem to be purebred. I don't remember seeing any mutts, any mixed-race dogs. And there are a few references to certain breeds of dog being better at certain things. I'm sure it is totally unintentional and probably cuts on dialoged by identifying which kids are from which parents, but it did strike me as odd.
Has anyone else noticed that “Camping” is basically the Star Trek TNG episode Darmok? Bluey meets a French dog named Jean-Luc. They construct some shelter together and have to hunt a monster. (I.e. Bandit pretending to be a wild boar.) They find a way to communicate despite speaking different languages. One leaves. Shaka, when the walls fell.

In the end, Muffin, her scream echoing—Bluey and Jean-Luc, their tails wagging!

(My wife who’s not really an Trekkie pointed this out to me. Also there’s another read about Jean-Luc’s departure as death and an eventual reunion in the afterlife when we will all finally understand each other. Read it as you like it.)
> it would do good to focus on things you can control that are known to be harmful

Are you (or someone else) aware of any indices of how harmful various substances are and how pervasive they are? It'd be nice to know, for instance, how damaging one substance is versus another so that I can prioritize my concerns better.

- I imagine that the quantity that someone consumes or is exposed to plays a role. It'd be interesting to see an index of how easily the toxic threshold can generally be hit via conventional sources.
I use CouchD, PouchDB, jQuery & Bootstrap. That works good for offline and local first apps.
“average lawyer in France or Italy will never make the money of the average plumber”

My disbelief requires more suspension than the Golden Gate Bridge. Most reputable sources will disprove this. Also, it’s not a given that the bottom 30% of lawyers (who pull down the average) would be good plumbers - I have a hard time imagining a worse population to pull from to work with their hands on piping and lug around tools in their pickup truck.

I think these “facts” come from blue collar cosplaying. A survey asking “On a scale of 0-100, how much do you want to be a plumber?” would have a disproportionately massive mode at 0.
Protip for people, especially Internet-dwellers: I like complaining. Everyone likes complaining.

Once you realize that 90% of the time it's just a way to bond and let off steam, you can get into the complaining and enjoy being with other people.

Then, you can level up to the master-class where you slowly feed ideas to people while agreeing with their complaints.
Plumbers? Pretty much find work anywhere, at least in the US. Developing nations probably a different story. Large plumbing companies will hire people with no experience, trade school not required.

Other trades don't pay enough for the hassle.

Short resume:

Annonaceae. Family of the Cherimoya.

Comprises also the Ylang-Ylang (fragrance) and also a lot of other tropical fruits. Most of them recognizable easily by having a skin sculpted with "scaly" marks, or thorns like a pineapple: Sugar apple, soursop, sweetsop, Atemoya, also a genus in temperate areas, Asimina.

- Asimina genus: Comprises several US natives of fruit trees. Asimina triloba (Paw paw), is the most famous and looks just like a smooth potato. no scales here.

Caricaceae. Family of the Papaya. Trees with leaves arranged around a soft trunk like a palm, fruits with soft skin, shaped like a fig or a pumpkin. Comprises:

- Carica (Papaya/PawPaw, babaco) tropical, huge fruits

- Vasconcellea (Mountain papaya, banano de monte) more hard, small fruits

> research suggests that people are often happier when they spend their money on experiences rather than things

I concur.
That's very idyllic, but the unfortunate reality is preparing whole foods takes time which many people simply don't have. Eating processed, packaged foods is a compromise they have to make to tend to family, work or other matters. Not dissimilar from putting purchases you can't afford on a credit card, and paying the price for it down the road.
I think in general having financial security makes me happy, not buying any specific stuff.
I understand there may a small marginal cost to host a ebook site for downloads, but other than that what are the drivers that disincentivize this practice?

Cost is not the driving factor in pricing for most things. Value to the user is. Presumably in book sales enough people buy both formats to make it worthwhile charging the full price twice rather than using the ebook as a marketing tool to drive physical book sales.

I figure if I get more complex than that, I'm either over-engineering something simple, or the idea is too big to do just for "home".
This is the first time I have heard of SUSE Liberty Linux as an alternative to RHEL... when I went searching for information on it, all I could find was the product page and some press releases.

It's hard to read between the lines of the marketing speak but it sounds like it's just a suite of paid support options for existing RHEL/CentOS deployments and not a RHEL derivative that one can just download and use. Unless I am missing something?
Yeah, it looks like this would be problem for Rust’s `String` (owned) although not `&str` (borrowed).
Multigenerational living is a historical norm until societies reach a certain level of economic output and then people tend to switch to paid childcare. It also only works well when people have kids at a certain age across generations so that health active years & need years align.

I saw this with my dads family that came over from the old country and had a wide range of ages. The oldest had live-in grandma help raise not only their own kids, but because of modern American medicine and old world early marriage/kids.. she helped raise her own great grand children. So in a total boomer move, that aunt got free childcare and never stopped working, even as she used her own mother to take care of her grandchildren so that her kids could also have free childcare with no cost to her. And in the end when the benefits no longer accrued to her, she put grandma in a home..

My father however was a decade older than that sister and had kids at a more American age. So me & my siblings experience with that same grandmother was mostly of her last decade of ill health and dementia. Had she lived with us it would have mostly been my mother taking care of her mother in law, begrudgingly.
I also have friends and am a professional programmer. I did not attend a university. It sounds like you got swindled.
> If a claimer can halt revenue for the first few months on any creative work, they can kill any opportunities to be made off public domain works. This a second order effect of the public domain laws.

Your premise is incorrect, which makes the conclusions invalid. The revenue is not lost during a monetization dispute, it's held in escrow. I.e. even if it were true that the vast majority of revenue of a YT video is generated in the first few months of it existing, the revenue generated by a video that gets a content id match is the same as one that doesn't.

One of those online folks here. I tell people this all the time. College was largely a huge waste of my time. It got me interested in CS which has become my career, but I probably would’ve stumbled into it anyway. If you can manage to do it without debt, hell yeah—do it. Otherwise it’s just not worth the financial burden unless you’re doing something that only college people do like operating on brains or practicing law.

Otherwise there’s much better paths with less wasted time and less debt.

To be honest though I’m not sure college really changes the trajectory of people’s lives most of the time. If you get into a ton of debt, you’ll probably be alright in general. If you take the shortcut of not going to college, you’ll also probably be alright.

How does one "jump" a tesla - can a Tesla be used to jump-charge another tesla?

One thing that would be kind of cool would be a slide-in Jump battery - a small battery cell that can be physically swapped between two teslas to give them N-miles range - so if your tesla dies, another tesla can swap this battery with you. (the charging priority is to the swappable suitcase battery)

((What if your nav would alert you while driving you EV that another car needs your power and is in vicinity/on-route-you-are-driving... if you jump them you get credits for whatever such credits can be used for - and another EV driver can "venmo" you credits for the jump -- or create an "uber" market for driving around credits - make a mobile charging semi. Like the aircraft refueling fleet:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tanker_aircraft ))

These can be carried by AAA tows and swapped to get you going.

I think that's somewhat true if you buy certain games on Xbox, there's a Windows version available too.

But how do you handle tracking purchases across even Steam, whatever Windows gaming store Microsoft has, several generations of Xbox, several generations of PlayStation, a few different Nintendo consoles, Mac App Store, iOS/iPad OS App Store, GOG, Epic Game Store, itch.io, etc?

I support the idea but it seems like a very difficult thing to keep track of, and I suspect every one of those stores wants some money too.
It also means that the level is considerably lower.
Show HN: Composo – Evaluating and improving performance of LLM applications
Hey HN!

We’re been building Composo - a platform that helps teams achieve high performance, guarantee accuracy & minimise the cost of LLM applications.

Problem we’re solving:

LLM applications are non-deterministic, so evaluating whether results are good or bad is highly subjective and often requires domain expertise. Iterating over 1000s of combinations of prompts, models, temperatures, RAG settings (& many other elements) is therefore very manual & time consuming.

How we are solving it:

Composo links directly to your application (in a simple to set up, but highly powerful way) which enables it to function like a remote control for your application. Once set up, anyone on your team (inc. non technical domain experts or PMs), can use Composo to easily test out your application with different models, prompts, temperatures & RAG settings (or any other variable in your codebase you decide to make available at initial set up). Crucially, this is simple enough to be used by anyone, but powerful enough for any application (e.g. real apps built in code using agents etc).

This testing can be done in both our playground & our evaluation suite:

1) Playground: Here you can ‘chat’ with your application in a UI similar to the openAI playground, but with inputs being runs on your actual application rather than a simple LLM call & with the ability to change any variables you like directly within the Composo UI (e.g. system message, temperature, model, RAG settings).

2) Evaluation suite: Here you can conduct rigorous testing & evaluation on your application either ad-hoc while in development, or repeated over time to check for performance regression. Our test suite contains automated evaluation tools including: evaluation in comparison to ground truth answers (with exact match, vector similarity & LLM graded similarity), with specific criteria (e.g. code validity, JSON validity, specific keyword inclusion or exclusion) & AI grading (this uses the Composo AI critic which leverages the latest research in LLM auto-evaluation under the hood).

The easiest things to get started with, without having to link an application or even sign up, are:

1) Play with different models in our playground by chatting directly or using our demo apps (e.g. an AI doctor)

2) Automate your prompt writing & optimisation with our AI prompt writer

Thanks so much, and would be hugely grateful for any feedback!

"It assumes that every family wants two parents and the children in the house together as the optimal arrangement"

In the opposite direction, even this is not easily achievable today. Lots of single parent households. The US has the highest rate. It seems difficult to maintain relationships when the primary one that's supposed to be the longest lasting (outside of blood relatives) is failing at such a high rate.
It's been a long time since I did anything in macos/ios land, but in my experience most of the learning curve wasn't in Objective C, which is a fairly straightforward C-like language, but in all the platform APIs. Has Swift changed things much in this regard?

Wow. I took Sierra Club Basic Mountaineering class, and we learned self-arrest three ways: head down facing down, facing up, and head up facing up.

The class was cancelled later when someone stuck the ice ax into their stomach and sued, and insurance rates skyrocketed.

And this guy learned it by watching a video.

Money can't Dance

Just saw this as a grafitti. So true.
Reminded me of that old joke:
About 1966 or so, a NASA team doing work for the Apollo moon mission took the astronauts near Tuba City where the terrain of the Navajo Reservation looks very much like the Lunar surface. With all the trucks and large vehicles there were two large figures that were dressed in full Lunar spacesuits.

Near by a Navajo sheep herder and his son where watching the strange creatures walk about, occasionally being tended by personnel. The two Navajo people were noticed and approached by the NASA personnel. Since the man did not know English, his son asked for him what the strange creatures were and the NASA people told them that they are just men that are getting ready to go to the moon. The man became very excited and asked if he could send a message to the moon with the astronauts.

The NASA personnel thought this was a great idea so they rustled up a tape recorder. After the man gave them his message they asked his son to translate. His son would not.

Later, they tried a few more people on the reservation to translate, and every person they asked would chuckle and then refuse to translate. Finally, with cash in hand someone translated the message: "Watch out for these guys, they come to take your land."

Why don't you let the actual target audience decide whether the niche is served or not? Everyone has a different definition of "minimalist" and niche markets may have more specific requirements, so if someone can sell their specialized tool then what's the problem with that? Nothing of what you wrote is a reason against the existence of more choices.
One of the most complex apps that Microsoft produces is Visual Studio. It is currently a hybrid of C++ and C#. I suppose that almost all new features are written in C# where possible. Why won't Apply follow the same path? The developer productivity in Swift must be 10x compared to Objective C. To be clear: I write this post as someone who has infinite love for optimization of native code. However, in many situtations, it is simply more "dev efficient" to write code in a managed (VM) langauge. Thoughts?

Same. I mostly support what Red Hat has done (after many hours of listening to arguments and thinking about them. Not the prima facie arguments that they made which were PR BS and spin, but the real reasons that were only gotten to by podcast hosts that pushed back a bit. But the CentOS 8 rug pull was a bad move and IMHO is really hard to defend because it came down to a short-term profit grab to try to force people to buy RHEL. I think long-term profit motive is a good thing (within reason and without compromising the open source principles) as it keeps RHEL sustainable, but the rug pull of CentOS 8 was wrong.
I’m a 30+ minute roundtrip by car to retrive something printed which I do semi-regularly for recipes, travel/event info, and just important info I want to file. I have plenty of room and B&W laser printers are cheap.

Who came up with the idea that intelligence could be distilled down into a single number (IQ), and why is such an obviously flawed concept still bandied about in the modern era?

Nobody tries to do this with physical capabilities - assign a single score to someone's physical capabilities - because gains in one area, e.g. strength training with the goal of increasing muscle mass, are counterproductive in other areas, e.g. long-distance running. A generalized fitness score for an individual would tell you very little about their real-world capabilities.

In general, the whole idea of scoring IQ smells of eugenic theories of inherited intellectual capabilities, designed to promote concepts such as 'minority populations are genetic inferiors so educating them is a waste of effort'.

Fundamentally, mental abilities are just as trainable as physical abilities are, and if you want to discover individuals with unique mental and physical capabilities, you don't want to eliminate anyone from the pool of candidates based on non-correlating factors like race, sex, ethnicity, etc.

At this point, I'm not sure why end users who care about Red Hat stability don't just use RHEL directly. Red Hat has multiple ways to take advantage of RHEL that involve no cost (that weren't available when the original CentOS project was conceived):

- Free developer licenses[0] (great if you're a home-labber, IIRC you can get up to 16, I think?)

- Red Hat UBI images[1]

I feel like most users of AlmaLinux won't see a huge difference between just using AlmaLinux's release cycle vs RHEL -- especially since AlmaLinux will be ABI compatible with RHEL. I.E. apps that work for RHEL should work for AlmaLinux.

So, back to your original question, I don't know what end-users want more of other than as was said by mrweasel in a different comment: "that's not what some people want, they specifically want RHEL, but for free".

THEY ARE NOT immune from democratic control. That's a common falsehood promoted by the extreme right. Congress has the power to reign them in any time they choose.

Then they could try keeping their eyes and ears open and their wallet shut? Not being "nouveau" should be easy for those who are willing to be themselves.
