Execs think progress towards human level intelligence is on a linear trajectory, inevitably to be finished soon after waiting out some development delays, just like any CRUD app. And it's adorable.
It's not really the list, but the "grindset" meanings you've assigned to it. Here's an example of two contrasting approaches to organizing yourself, not to Magic but to learning art:

1. Open up Youtube, search "art tutorial", sign up for the first course that looks good, fill up a spreadsheet with tasks like "learn anatomy", and start setting your alarm earlier.

2. Create a "arts station" in your room. It has a lamp, a drawing board, a bookstand, some books that were recommended when you shopped around, some art supplies you wanted to try, and various bins and folders to store things.

I think nearly everyone will prefer 2, if they take a moment to consider it. The method of 1 is totally focused on achieving a "competitive artist identity" - the student most likely wants to know how to be a "real" or "normal" artist and if they are "good enough" yet. The intense structure and schedule makes it performative - you can be Seen working hard at your art. You are going to be out there on social media chasing those likes and follows.

But the method of 2 is more ambiguous: you've created an investment in a place you can go to and explore as you wish, and which is self-contained: it does not compromise your comfort, and therefore is likely to give you a good feeling when you return to it. You took the time to purchase materials that are, even if they are not perfect, came with good recommendations. You did not rush to attach yourself to a specific instructor, which might lead you down some alleys that slow down learning, but also lets you assert yourself every step of the way: you are likely to intrinsically value the act of study, versus showing the results to someone. It might become a hobby that you can't find time to pursue seriously, but it won't burn you out either.

If you want to feel good about something you do, try to make it a good space that you want to return to. I think it really is that simple, and it applies to all kinds of spaces big and small, whether it's what you're wearing at the moment, or how you organize your digital life, or the events you attend or help host.
They obviously should have had backup harnesses connected to something else on the ceiling. Whenever they do things like this in the US at concerts or shows they always have these things. And the chains obviously are supposed to be inspected and made much stronger than they need to be to give a big margin of error. Seems like a totally unnecessary accident that should have been avoided. Really tragic.
His funny insinuation pushed you to write a nice long argumented explanation, it worked great
Yemen is adjacent to Saudi Arabia. Iran's conflict with Saudi Arabia is probably the most salient in all of the Middle East and Northern Africa, more so than the "west vs. Arabia" conflict we default to thinking about. The Houthis (Ansar Allah), named for a dude who died just a few years ago, were trained in Iran, and are an effort to replicate the Iranian Revolution in Arabia.

The Houthis are often thought of as an arm of the IRGC (Iran refers to them as part of their "axis of resistance", along with Hezbollah and Hamas), but they are their own thing, although Iran is believed to be actively assisting them with spotter ships in the Red Sea.

This is just a shotgun blast of additional details. Nobody really knows what Iran's game plan is here.
"People are classified as unemployed if they do not have a job, have actively looked for work in the prior 4 weeks, and are currently available for work" from https://www.bls.gov/cps/cps_htgm.htm#unemployed

So if someone is retired, a student, a full-time parent, etc then they don't count as "unemployed" despite not working a paid job. If someone lost their job and wants a new one, and at least once every 4 weeks they check a job website or whatever, they'd still be counted.
From a quick search, that's probably "My Adventures with Superman", which is animated in South Korea:

> My Adventures with Superman is an American animated superhero television series based on the DC Comics character Superman. The series is developed by Jake Wyatt, produced by Warner Bros. Animation and animated by Studio Mir in South Korea.

I am very doubtful this will happen. If it does it's among the most boneheaded moves of the century.

No one's interested in paying for it. It's a mild convenience at the cost of letting Amazon into your home. It's not something I believe basically anyone is willing to pay for. It's something we use begrudgingly because it's convenient.

The only reason I even have Alexa devices in my house at all is Amazon kept throwing them at be for free when attending Amazon events like Re:Invent - I wanted to go Google Home, but I just got buried in devices.

I control my lights with Alexa and listen to podcasts. I'll just use my phone if they try to charge me.

I know this is going to be voted down. I’m always scared of how things get done here in India -- not only because they are careless or trying to reduce cost -- but because of the utter lack of importance given to human lives. Unfortunately, with an overwhelmed legal system, most of us, especially ordinary people, cannot even pursue legal action when an accident happens.

I’ve seen, heard, and experienced people doing their job just barely enough to reach a stage of “it works,” popularly known in the colloquial term as, “Chalta Hain.” This is more prominent in works such as the ad-hoc stage creation, pop-up kitchens, and the like.

This incident is sad, and I hope people learn from it and will prevent the other 100 such accidents.

My Condolences.
> Asian welfare states are weaker than you think

I think I am fairly aware (see profile) and yet most people dont live paycheck to paycheck. the idea that most working class people are just one step away from being thrown in the streets is just a crazy delusion.
>It's strange that [...]

An appeal to incredulity is not an argument.

>These explanations are always full of "must have" and "must have been".

Any explanation that starts with "must have" requires that there is a single theoretical framework that could possibly apply to the world as we see it today. Since you reject this necessity, you must think there's an alternative framework that accounts for all observed phenomena (or that accounts at least as well as the theory of evolution). What is that framework?

Because it was used to game the CBO score for the 2017 tax bill by offsetting tax cuts with future revenue, making the bill seem more revenue neutral upon analysis. This was done under the presumption that Congress would never actually let something so insane and detrimental to American innovation and competitiveness go into effect, and would obviously roll it back before 2022. The IRS didn’t even have guidance for the change until months and months after the April filing deadline, because why would they prepare guidance for something that will so obviously be rolled back?

Then Congress did not roll it back. So here we are.

This is basically what I said. The partially/fully remote crowd is the overwhelming majority. The only way to satisfy the minority is to submit the majority to the minorities preference. This doesn't seem altogether reasonable.

An ideal situation would be different companies with different philosophies in proportion to preference but this isn't really what's happening. You had a plethora of options during covid now you have a bunch of old people trying to force everyone back into the office.
How do you define a poem?

For me a poem is a short textual art form that captures an author’s feeling or induced one in me.

I know it’s not perfect: it doesn’t include novels in verse and has no mention of a particular poetic register, that I cannot define but I know it when I see it.
Did you read your link carefully?

> About 500,000 years ago, Acheulean technology began to disappear, and our ancestors started making tools using a trickier method. The Levallois technique was an important development, as flakes of an exact size and shape could be made.

Acheuleun “began to disappear” is not the same as “evidence of Levallois starting”. The whole paragraph is vague and poorly written. There are several intermediary industries like Sangoan and the aging on the first Levallois tools is controversial and based on sedimentary layers, not more precise methods.

This is a junk layman article, not a precise description of the evolution from Acheuleun to Levallois
I've seen it, but rarely and maybe ironically. I've never seen למאו and probably wouldn't get it if I did.
Speech recognition on edge devices is still very compute intensive—it's either too slow or inaccurate or constrained in what it can recognize. Alexa and Google both still stream audio to the cloud for processing, though the wake word detection is typically done locally.

Modern phones are starting to do more processing locally and I could see that making its way to the smart speakers as well if they survive as a product category, but they're definitely paying for compute on most existing devices.

The answer to this question-in-a-headline is, of course, no.
Nothing in the rules seem to indicate that you're not allowed to reassemble the shredded notes, or that you're not allowed to either use them as currency or request replacement for your "damaged" currency.

However, I am not a lawyer but I'd bet a court would rule that the act of shredding the currency was intended to permanently invalidate its use as currency, and any attempt to reverse that shredding via reassembly, combined with an attempt to pass off said reconstituted money as US currency, would constitute fraud. So while the rules don't seem to explicitly say you can't do it, it's implied that you can't.
Japan has a fascinating culture. Wouldn't you say the same thing about video games? Which studio can sustain 6-7 years of active game development (The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild) exclusive for one console?
> Are you indicating that Lisp has already introduced many of the concepts and features that are now found in modern programming languages, implying that contemporary languages have largely assimilated Lisp's ideas and paradigms?

Yes. See effect handlers for an example, which are making rounds around the programming world as of late. They are equivalent to the Lisp condition system, except formalized to work in strongly statically typed programming environments.

> I'm somewhat disheartening because it implies that learning Lisp might be redundant given that contemporary languages have already incorporated its best aspects.

Sort of, lots of things have thankfully trickled from Lisps to other languages (including whole languages like Julia). The pleasant feeling of conversing with the language and programming bit by bit in it is hard to replicate with things like LSPs, though, since the implementation is always running in the background and programming in it is based on mutating it until it contains the program you seek.
People do like their work and would rather be paid less than to see the industry fold.
I've avoided Alexa for years. I've never had any interest in anything voice controlled. Anyway one day at the Amazon checkout, Amazon wanted to sell me an Echo Pop for I think it was $20. I figured I'll give it a try, I can afford to lose $20 and not be too grumpy about it.

I found the whole experience very underwhelming. Alexa frequently misunderstood me. At one time I tried asking it to play a particular type of music and it said I require a subscription. I tried some of the skills and they were total garbage. And then there are the privacy issues. I live alone so I was not too concerned but I would always make sure it was off before using the phone.

The only thing I would really want to use a product like Alexa for and pay for it with a subscription is if I could use it for language learning. But my bar for this is very high. I'm not interested in something that just feeds me phrases to learn. It would need to combine the capabilities of ChatGPT with the ability to adapt its output to my level, provide useful feedback, and have excellent voice recognition for bad accents and the ability to suggest improvements to my pronunciation and grammar. I don't see this happening any time soon.
fantastic paper, i really enjoyed reading it. college senior who majored in math and finished the major by my sophomore year. always wished there were more calculus based courses to take but throughout my degree the vast majority of math “electives” ended up being applications of linear algebra or probability.
> Engaging with the democratic process means changing laws, which requires the consent of lawmakers…

You have it wrong, lawmakers are elected by the consent of their constituents to represent them. In a democracy people are not at the mercy of lawmakers but rather lawmakers are employed by the people.

> Those laws might also have negative side effects that we didn't anticipate, and changing the law once it's enacted is very difficult.

This nihilism is overrated, of course people have to change things and should change them rather than refusing to do anything because of some “fear” of change.

> Market solutions require no coordinated action, no new laws that could have unintended side effects, and is much more likely to succeed.

If the market was perfect and worked how you described this conversation wouldn’t even be happening.

> Obviously this isn't universally true: there are things we have to buy, like food and shelter, and so those industries ought to be more carefully regulated (and they are!), but we're talking about video games, which are a luxury leisure purchase.

No, we’re talking about ownership and which class of people in society are allowed to “own” goods.
Yea, if you can reverse–engineer a server then you can bring the game back to life. That’s a little more than the average player can do, even if they backed up the game files.
I don’t mean to minimize your concerns, and you should live your life as you see fit, but since you put this out there as a comment for others to reflect on - from my perspective your feelings are like paranoia or compulsion.

To me, my glucose number is completely impersonal. I wouldn’t care who knew this or not, it has little to do with my personhood, not to mention it moves so fast that no one can infer anything timely. And it’s the same range for all humans.

I’m also not saying that corporations should sell it!

It’s a bit like the fear of getting robbed. We all have the right to walk down the street safely, and if someone robs us, then that’s the bad guy (no victim blaming). But if the fear of getting robbed on each corner prevents you from trying stuff in life that you are interested in, and there’s very little chance a you will actually be robbed in any given situation, then that’s kinda like a crippling paranoia
I would interpret it otherwise; I think yours is a very literal interpretation. But regardless, do you have something better? I'm all eyes.

Developer here, thanks for sharing the project! I really wanted something that allowed me to save my own versions of recipes I found.

There’s also the social aspect, where my friends can share the result of them making my recipes, which is fun.

The goal is to have a more structured version of a recipe, where new ones can be created without loosing the reference to the original, but also allowing to discover all the versions of a specific recipe made by other people.

Trying to make it look like a simple website with meaningful urls and links, taking advantage of the web. I don’t want to install an app to read a friends recipe!

Sure, the US federal minimum wage. That's definitely an issue but one mitigated by states raising their own minimum wage.

But the topic here is on Japan. They did increase their minimum wage last year, after the pandemic caused inflation in the Japanese economy for the first time in 30 years. Their economic situation is extremely different from the US which exploded (then receded, then kept rising) in those decades.
Pedestrians already have the right of way. If drivers ignore that, how will banning right on red help? Replacing one honored rule with another rule seemed illogical, bad drivers are going to be bad drivers either way.
This is true. Also equivalent to "Chalta hain" is "Jugaad". We really need to stop doing this. These short cuts/hacks are okay for when you don't have the means/resources available. Not when you have abundance. Doesn't make any sense whatsoever!
Good to know. I realize Whisper is new, but I have been blown away by its performance. I would think a revamped device could do all of the processing locally.

Probably anathema to the space, but if the devices leaned into the ~five tasks people use them for (timers, weather, todo list?) could probably tighten up the AI models to be more accurate and/or resource efficient.
The real kicker to this entire discussion is this: In a time where America is ostensibly gearing up for peer competition with China and working to onshore manufacturing and development, we are strongly disincentivizing domestic innovation by aggressively taxing R&D while China strongly incentivizes innovation with a 150% bonus deduction for R&D expenses[1].

Wish us luck, because we’re going to need it.

Why disparage a useful feature by saying people should just settle for an inconvenient solution and search pages of HN titles?

A more intelligent solution would be providing the information which was deemed important enough to make the effort in the first place.

This is a news site. Why would you expect the people arriving to already know the news they came to learn?
It's tempting for drivers to drive towards an intersection looking left - the direction their threat will come from - and keep speed to turn right on red if no traffic is coming. What they wont be looking for is the cyclist or pedestrian in their path. The faster they go the more attentive they need to be on that left window.
Yep, fire vollie here too. 100% good advice.

I think the issue is more about greed.

A stage help would cost 0.1 X

Indians are cheap and many in job roles are not qualified or care about their job.

I am 100% sure that this sort of accident happens all the time, and some temporary workaround is used to repair the issue.

Also, no one has any idea about anything close to a "safety margin".

Getting rid of RTOR is such a low hanging fruit, we should absolutely do it. Currently our roads prioritize vehicle speed over all other considerations.

I mean, everything would seem to indicate that mitochondria were assimilated while our ancestors were still microbes themselves. But that aside, our species is the result of everything that happened prior to its appearance, including for example the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event. Arguing that we should not attempt to prevent such events (if we're able to) because it would evolutionarily benefit the survivors is suicidal.

There's nothing special about our species. If things had happened different would the species that would have been in our place (whatever that means) be better or worse by any metric one chooses? There's no point in wondering about that.
Phenomenal performance.
Indeed; to my eyes, Amazon has set course more directly towards enshittification since Bezos left day-to-day involvement.

One of the nice things about Seattle and WA traffic law is that you can turn LEFT on red when going from a one-way street onto another one way street. In addition to right on red, of course.
That has changed since the initial preorder. I assume they’ll honor it for people who ordered before the change, but it’s not clear they are under any obligation to.

That said, it’s a good sign.

This is purely a systemic and cultural issue.

As an engineer, I can say with full conviction that Indians don't give a damn about maintenance and maintainability.

Be it software or hardware or services or what not. We tend to focus on completing the work for that moment.

Also, in this particular case, the location is a studio, and more likely than not, you would not even find any records of maintenance / guidelines / qualified personnel.
