I suppose it depends on where you are. My work sent me from the US to the UK for six months in 2016. The difference in mental health stigma between these two first world nations was staggering. From what I've heard, it's even worse for eastern Europe.
Not rich enough to get an economic advantage or poor enough to get Diversity priority.
Yes. In almost exactly those words.
>I guess in completely new construction maybe.

No, but Europe/Asia, rather than the US.
While I recognize the efforts in developing natural language to SQL translation systems, I remain skeptical. The core of my concern lies in the inherent nature of natural language and these models, which are approximative and lack precision. SQL databases, on the other hand, are built to handle precise, accurate information in most cases. Introducing an approximative layer, such as a language model, into a system that relies on precision could potentially create more problems than it solves, leading me to question the productivity of these endeavors in effectively addressing real-world needs.

That's my pet peeve.

Do you have evidence? I have the evidence of millions of people and the demand for downtowns. Otherwise, you possibly are assuming that people must feel like you do.

A little, but it also wouldn't surprise me at all.

This trait is what I associate with people who quickly develop deep knowledge and impressive breadth.
I agree, fundamental things haven't changed much. However, cultural and social factors significantly impact our mental health. There is research available on these social factors if you Google it. The US, with its advanced economy, science, and technology, being an immigrant country, has benefited from life sciences and medical advancements. Despite this, we grapple with a society that is more complex than most. For instance, a less family-oriented culture and individuals with more mobility mean we receive less support. While support is a crucial factor in counseling treatment. This leads me to think that learning coping strategies through many single one-session counseling sessions might be more useful and practical than opting for a long-term treatment plan that delves into the past to explore correlations :)
You do, but it’s for a minute or two, if you don’t hit a traffic jam.

It’s hard to think of a traffic jam as being in a rural area.

Everett itself is farther north, but the turn to the factory and Paine field is before you hit town (but after you hit Everett speed traps)

One possible explanation is that Magic Leap may have significantly overestimated how many chips they needed, and wondered if someone might buy excess inventory… or at least, might buy out their contract.

Consider the first Magic Leap headset. They thought it would do over 100,000 units. It only did 6,000. https://www.engadget.com/2019-12-06-magic-leap-6000-headsets...

I don’t know how the Leap 2 is doing. But in the above example, let’s say AMD wanted a minimum order of 100,000. If you were Magic Leap, you’re running to find a buyer - any buyer. You’re also going to cut the price for your batch as far as necessary to cover for possible increased production costs in the future. Even if you recover just half of your costs, it’s better than being forced to buy chips nobody wants that will quickly go stale.

At least someone's finally honest about it. Startup culture is in general a blight.
Its the fundamental flaw of outsourcing manufacturing abroad. You cede all growth from innovation.

I just completely disagree with you. Watched the film and read the short story. The central premise absolutely comes through. I watched the film first, and understood it well. Love all of Ted Chiang's stuff, too.

It's funny though, I do feel a bit the same way about Dune. It's a Cliffs Notes of the book, and doesn't add anything new and thought provoking. Mindless but beautiful.

Still, I wouldn't say it missed the point. Just that it wasn't really necessary.

Anyway, free to disagree.

Why would an airline buy an Airbus, or a Boeing branded Airbus with Boeing markup?
So companies should live and die with the founder? Or only be able to be transferred to their heirs? That's going to be amazingly unstable compared to a system that allows businesses to change ownership.
Were you not cynical afterwards that you’d just been brought in to make the acquisition look more attractive (perhaps by making the company seem more threatening to the acquirer by demonstrating ability to do rapid build)?

Good rant about BS terminology. He should've included "responsive" Web pages.
i saw it at a previous job: some people that are genuinely good at solving specific technical problems aren't the target audience for every single app that may suffer backend latency issues

that doesn't mean someone shouldn't test releases internally before it goes out the door, but it also showed me how users that are forced to use a platform can actually be a detriment if they're not in the cohort you are building for in the first place
Why do we assume that? Manufacturing economies were high-growth in the mid-20th century; we don't want to return there.
I feel the same way.

Watched Arrival then read it, and loved the movie.

Read Dune and then watched it. Underwhelmed by the film.
But i don't want my kids going to ivy League. I want them to study what they need to know, have fun, and explore. We aren't rich, and they know that, and that level of stuffy education would be better in graduate or post grad, when they pay you to study there.
Or in the context of Boeing, Boeing shouldn't be in the business of making its own bolts. An internal lack of bolt expertise isn't what caused the door plug to fly out.
Better out-of-the-box desktop experience. Last time I tried Debian for desktop, I tried for 4 hours to get my bluetooth headphones to work. In Linux Mint (or Ubuntu) they just worked out-of-the-box.
That would be nice. My local fiber option is Verizon or nothing. Verizon's tech works very well, but their customer service is terrible. Many people think that Verizon only pushed FiOS as hard as they did because it gave them a way to push out the competitors they had on DSL. Once DSL died off so did their drive to deploy FiOS.
I believe in something called "Social Infrastructure"[0]. That's basically what folks might label "tribal knowledge," but it goes far deeper.

This is something that takes generations to build, but can get lost, very quickly.

Folks, these days, aren't actually any smarter than our ancestors. We just have a vast social infrastructure that raises the baseline for our starting point.

Even if more housing were built, the job market was never really that good in Portugal, compared to central Europe.

I wouldn't blame immigrants, but I would blame the government for not doing enough for young Portuguese.

The average age in Portugal is quite high; just as with Italy maybe it is difficult to find dinamicity within an aging population. It could even be that this is the best option possible.

Hi!

I'll release a v0.4 update tomorrow or after. It makes a lot of things more simpler, I would recommend to wait for it before you install it. After that update I'll work on Chinese dictionaries and issues. It will take 1-2 days. It will have two built-in dictionaries for Chinese: cc-cedict and wiktionary.
I find that one-pedal is okay as a driver and not so pleasant as a passenger: feet are really quite bad at applying constant pressure, so there’s a tendency to alternate between excessive acceleration and deceleration. This can be nauseating, not to mention a bit inefficient. It’s made worse by the generally fast torque response in an EV.

I’d rather see really nice haptic controls, like so:

One-pedal: the pedal has a detent at the neutral point, so a range of forces will hold it at neutral, and a small conscious effort will switch between acceleration and braking. (For good measure, neutral could be zero acceleration instead of zero torque or power.) This would require some kind of variable electrically controlled haptics, and it would need to fail safe.

Two-pedal: a similar detent, but on the brake pedal at the position where mechanical braking starts.

Either one would need serious driver testing, especially to make sure that drivers won’t fail to apply adequate braking in an emergency.
Dating apps (the means to meet someone on the other side of the city) and transportation technology (the means to travel to the other side of the city) have drastically opened up prior restrictions.

The information is well thought out and relevant but I have mixed feelings about the envelope its delivered in.

https://projectbluefin.io scrolls in a really really janky way specifically on mobile firefox. It seems to work correctly on desktop firefox, and mobile chrome. It probably performs poorly in other low resource environments as well.

Even on a desktop browser its easy to stimulate noticeable CPU usage merely by scrolling and almost 400MB of RAM usage explicitly and only for this tab.

Using the 3G profile in firefox dev tools it takes over 40 seconds to load. What is remarkable is how long it took to actually load while only in fact transferring 5MB which is much slower than one would expect even when throttled to 750Kbps.

Even at the DSL profile (2Mbps) its a fairly shockingly slow 16s to load.

Incidentally 2.6 of the 5 is just a png file that could easily be reduced to ~900k without noticeable degradation.

Compare that to the linked blog post which scrolls normally without noticeable CPU usage, loads almost instantly while progressively loading the images and uses about 80MB of RAM.

I must say I love how it looks but it is a triumph of form over function that probably works only if most prospective users are viewing this on fast devices with a fast connection. Bounce rate for websites goes up enormously as one goes over 3-4 seconds.

If your website needs a loading screen and its not a desktop app running in a browser window stop whatever you are doing and throw it away and rethink it.

If I was intentionally lying, it seems unlikely that I’d have chosen to link to a page which clearly shows that my statement was false. It was just a careless mistake that I corrected as soon as I noticed it. Relax. I haven’t personally attacked you in this discussion.

Holy crap. Actual clear design with a cogent visual hierarchy, intuitively purposed controls, and functionality exposed enough to be useful for people without a working mental model of software development, that’s FOSS. I am honestly shocked. Too bad FOSS project maintainers think design only exists for idiots- I.e. users who care more about whether a program effectively and efficiently solves a problem for them than about software architecture. Was initially sad to see I got to this party late, but not after I saw a few requisite dunning Kruger comments. Imagine what Mastodon could have done for the world during the Twitter exodus if the FOSS world didn’t so aggressively resist considering user needs?

The equation still holds. As the tire deforms to have more area the pressure on any particular part of the tire is lower. The total friction is unchanged.

> That is why you see racing cars with big fat tires

If you mean drag racers those tires are glued to the ground, and do not work off of friction. Other than that, what race cars have big fat tires?

Tires are usually sized so that the ground pressure of the tire is in the 40 to 100 psi range (which is also the tire inflation pressure). That's simply to keep the ground from deforming and the tire from popping. It does not affect friction.

This is also why off-road tires have lower pressure - the sand and mud they work on is not strong enough for a higher pressure. It is NOT for increased friction, it's because the surface they drive on can't handle it, so you spread out the weight, and reduce the pressure.
I had the same experience, minus MDMA (never had the chance) and the racism stuff. Completely changed my mental shape at age 47 when I tried mushrooms for the first time (also my first psychedelic). Not a do-frequently thing but genuinely mind opening.

I'm not saying _nobody_ uses those devices, I'm just saying they're sufficiently old that saying _my app supports Android 3.x_ is moot, because the usage on that API will be near 0 anyway, so you never really know if you _support_ that version outside of any testing that you might be doing. Android 4 and lower have estimated share of 0.3%-0.7% depending on a source ([1], [2]). Of course HN users will be more likely to have those devices too. And then of 0.5% users that maybe will install the app some will have no issues, some will have issues but not notice, some will notice but not bother reporting.

>Then there's the hypocrisy of the reader, who enjoys the thrills articles like those give, but also enjoys the service too much to stop, and leave the system of exploitation. Like, “It's so awful, so awful, but I need my daily dose of filtered cat pictures, so you're gonna get that sad dickpick spam in my stead. It's just the world we live in! The algorithm makes me continue doing that!”, etc.

I get you're angry but if everyone who complains about how awful social media can be while they themselves participate in social media are hypocrites and therefore shouldn't speak up (because... ???), how do you honestly see society being able to address the problem?

Heck even now, both you and I are participating in a limited form of social media, aren't we to hypocrites for complaining about the harm given your interpretation? I mean sure we aren't looking at "filtered cat pictures" (or maybe we are :P) but I don't see how what we're doing here is fundamentally different.
There is no need to do that here. Putting the text into the 'About:' box of your HN profile works just as well while not cluttering up the thread.
It's interesting, I kinda buy the 'Everett is part of the Seattle metro' but I'd have said Marysville is not. But clearly it is, and my perception is wrong.
Yup! This is what makes this kind of attack scary and very unique to GitHub Actions. The baseline GITHUB_TOKEN just blows the door open on lateral movement via workflow_dispatch and and repository_dispatch events.

In several of our other operations, not just PyTorch, we leveraged workflow_dispatch to steal a PAT from another workflows. Developers tend to over-provision PATs so often. More often than not we'd end up with a PAT that has all scopes checked and org admin permissions. With that one could clean out all of the secrets from an organization in minutes using automated tools such as https://github.com/praetorian-inc/gato.
I always thought the timing was kinda weird. Especially cause they didn't wait to replace me before firing me.

The acquisition seemed a bit too early (6 months after launch) to be entirely voluntary. I assumed that the funding had dried up or the offer was just too insanely good.

This is the second piece of content I've ever seen using the same numbering system as Wittgenstein's Tractatus, the first of course being the Tractatus itself.
Based on our research, people care about what’s in the store, rather than the store itself. If there are interesting extensions in the store, our theory is that people are more likely to install the app (because they want the functionality of the extension).
The almost impossible chessboard puzzle
It's the same for all file managers and the previous way of granting access is now patched via security fixes. If it's still working for you that's very likely because you granted the access before it was fixed, and if you move to a new phone you also likely won't be able to do that any more.
Layperson question : does it help if the Faraday cage is grounded, so that the waves it picks up have somewhere to "go"? or does it not work that way? (I fully expect it does not work that way!)
Or referring to Beaverton, Oregon City, or Gresham (and similar) as Portland. That makes sense, locals absolutely see the distinction, but if I told someone in another state (other than perhaps Washington) where I lived, I'd just say "Portland" even though I don't live anywhere near the city limits. But the actual Portland people are quick to jump on me if we're in a call and I say I'm from Portland :).
The product is both the store and the extensions! Without the extensions, the store isn’t interesting. Users want to install only useful / interesting software, and developers want to see what’s possible to create. For now, this is just a fun project for us to work on, that’s why the extensions are free, but in the future, we may take a percentage of store sales if a developer uses our payments API.
Yes, I like trains, too.

Largely copied from my reply to a similar comment:

Trains requires long-term planning and alignment of a lot more people and organisations, all of whom have their own messy incentives. They're a political quagmire that you might never emerge from.

I'm trying to think of solutions that can be mostly built by the private sector and deployed with only modest legislative changes.

For the same reasons, a friend who works in mass transit talked me around to favouring better "smart bus" infrastructure over lobbying for more rail — at least in most cases where actually getting more rail is an unrealistic outcome.
I understand what you are saying, but on the face of it we have:

"my normal string"

`my templated string`

vs

"my normal string"

STR."my templated string"

probably we can agree which looks cleaner (though I grant, maybe not as 'pluggable')
The Saturn was an interesting car. Knew a girl who had one and she got into a bit of a fender bender.

A friend of her father's told her to park at work with the damaged fender facing the sun. He told her as the sun warmed it up the damage would pop out all on its down.

She was skeptical but she came out after work with some friends and darned if it didn't work!
Here’s one nice such surprise to amaze any kid (or a date, if they’re of the right mold): get a ruler or a uniform stick, balance it on your index fingers by placing them randomly along the length. Then start moving your fingers together. They’ll always meet at the center (center of mass)! Your fingers take turns moving as if by magic. Your audience will first think that you’re purposefully moving them, so next let them do it.
Not to diminish your point, but you’ve described the UK housing market where that’s exactly how it works.
Is that an humble brag?
Caught that did you? :-) The one interesting disruptive thing might be paved roads vs rail infrastructure. It is easier to have a steerable vehicle turn on different paths than doing railroad switches. So the underlying physical plant of building things might allow for rapid deployment vs rails.
