Both of those words would apply to the dad in that example. Sure, you could qualify it as "primary caretaker" but that would likely be claimed by any person considering themselves "head of the family" whether they're the ones spending most time with the children or not.

The idea was to specifically include caretakers/guardians who are not parents (e.g. older siblings, grandparents or uncles/aunts) but also exclude those who do not take an active role (or take a less active role) in the actual caretaking. If my spouse does the brunt of all the caretaking, I may still be a caretaker or guardian but I don't need daycare in order to be able to work (though daycare may enable my spouse to work).
Does this model have operons like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lac_operon [1] ? I guess they are skipped to reduce the complexity of the model.

[1] This operon was the first that was discovered, the idea is that the cell produce the enzymes to eat lactose only if there is lactose and there is no glucose.

One of my best college memories:

I went to school at Ohio University, which is in Athens, OH - the Southern part of the state. Snowfall was pretty rare down there, we p
probably only got one good one a year.

I was also in a fraternity - a source of lots of good times and also some bad ones. But most importantly for this story, it meant that I knew about 50 different guys on campus.

In my senior year we got a pretty awesome fall of packing snow, and the house where I was living had a big parking lot as basically its backyard, which served as parking for 12-15 cars for nearby houses. Classes were cancelled.

So, that morning me and the other couple guys who lived in my house put on our best approximation of snow appropriate clothes, and went outside to the parking lot to build a fort. We starting making bricks with our recycling container, which was about the size of a 44qt storage tub. Our goal was to make an igloo big enough for a circle of about 15 of us to sit, so our first layer needed something like 30 blocks.

Time went on, and various other bros starting showing up. By the end of the day, we had 20 young dudes shoveling snow into those recycling totes. Even with that amount of workers, it was slow progress. The fort was humongous! But after working for a few hours, we had a circle about 10-12 feet in diameter with walls 4 feet high.

At that point our resolve to build an actual igloo had crumbled, and we were running out of easily accessed parking lot snow, so we compromised, and threw a big white tarp over the whole thing. Just like that, we had our giant fort, roofed over (and hey, safer too).

It was an all day job to get that far, and the rewards were worth it - we sat out in the fort with frozen asses, drinking very cold beer and filling it up with pot smoke, laughing and singing and telling stories. It was a genuinely magical few days, it felt like building that thing together had broken down some cliques and brought our group of dudes together. Almost every brother stopped by at least once.

It didn't occur to me until later that that was probably the last time in my life all the conditions would line up to build something that large out of snow. How often do you find a huge parking lot, covered in packing snow, and 20 strapping young lads with nothing better to do than listen to some nerd telling them where to put it?

Good times.
If this isn't a joke, you are wrong. What a world we live in.

So you're saying the CDC should not cater to the edge cases? Where are we drawing the line? 10% of the population? 1%? 0.1%? 0.01%? 0.001%? That last one is still thousands of people. Does your opinion hold for all edge cases or just those involving gender identities?

If there is a place I'd expect to "cater to edge cases" including those that only make up a fraction of a permille of the population, it'd be the CDC because they have to address hundreds of millions of people so even a one-in-a-million edge case still represents hundreds of people.
It's fun to think that someone at some point decided to just add a phallus to the drawing as an act of vandalism and that's what the giant is now best known for.

But note that "probably originally clothed" cites an article that merely argues the figure was originally "wearing trousers" because the phallus was not present. It doesn't elaborate beyond that. Notably "trousers" in the modern sense didn't exist at the time so the speculation about clothing seems dubious without evidence of lost outlines.
> The password should have been a per-client password intended to protect the client's data from any foreign access, a key given from the service provider to the client in form of an easily usable application in order for the client to make use of the service.

What should have been is irrelevant to the discussion. Yes, the security practices by the vendor were abhorrent and this jeopardized their customers' users privacy and they should be fined by the data protection agency for that. But that has no impact on what the contractor did.

> Was the client not authorized to access their data with the use of the password, which the application managed for them?

The client was authorized to use the software which accessed the data using the password. The client was clearly not authorized to extract the password, use it to connect to the database manually or through their own software and go spelunking. How could you possibly think that was authorized? Implicit authorization can always only be interpreted in the most limited way. It doesn't matter what he expected to find, it only matters HOW he accessed it. That's just how laws work.
Funny to see this on the first page of HN (I'm Maltese, although living in the US now).

Lots of truth in what he said... Malta has not done badly at all since independence but Singapore is a tough one to compare to. Currently Malta's GDP per capita stands at $33k or so which is certainly nothing to sneeze at, but still around half of Singapore's.

Interesting too that history repeats itself. Back then it was the Suez Canal crisis and now it's this:

I don't like electron bloat but notes are something I absolutely need to be on every platform for portability, I'm willing to accept the trade off. To be fair to electron, the software I use (trilium), runs like a dream.
There are two reasons why I call Org mode standardized.

> I imagine there aren't really various flavors of Org Mode, but that doesn't make it standardized.

All the implementations that call themselves org-mode follow the conventions set by the canonical implementation - the Emacs org-mode. While this may not sound like a good reason to call it standardized, the practical implication is a vast difference from what you get with various markdown flavors. In the latter case, the only way to make sure that your markdown is correct is to test it with the target implementation.

The second reason is that there is an actual effort to standardize org-mode - called Orgdown [1]. Org-mode is already more or less uniform across implementations. This effort tries to write it down as a reference. Markdown has a similar effort called CommonMark. But if you want to know why it's different, you have to look at the history of why it isn't called 'Standard Markdown'.

For GitHub and most other companies running racks of macOS, the use case is testing/building macOS/iOS software. Even if you could build the stack you describe, I wouldn’t want my tests/builds running on a hackintosh build with unsupported processor and virtualization layers. I doubt there would be a huge market.
How are they being screwed?
> Hopefully they fired the moron who kicked off the process too.

God forbit you make such a grave mistake as reading a number off a piece of paper and typing it into a system incorrectly.

It's almost asif the interaction between the systems is the problem and not the human on the end...

It may even have been some sort of "AI" that happened to recognise a letter incorrectly.

It's quick to call for people tp be fired, not that you would ever make a simple mistake.
What group would that be?
People keep rediscovering and rensnming lisp features. I do think he's talking more about composition as a design concept, which is good for people who have only heard shout OO their entire career.

But yeah, it was weird hearing about this "new" idea I've been using for 30 years.

I worry that lazy evaluation will wind up as "filter based programming" next year.

But if it puts it in a form python or c# programmers can readily consume, it's probably okay.

Also nice to see someone doing something with f#.
yes, compared to any CEO of these massive conglomerates, absolutely yes.

Then again, I don't think Malta has as many low paid temp workers as these ones Singapore imports from India, etc. Also the residences are likely not that tiny.
They add one bit of information, hardly superfluous.
Does is also include asking for forgiveness to all the taxpayers who are going to subsidize this administration's idiocy?
Do you think so? I can see the AI being trained with crowdsourced input like "does picture A look more like a Mondrian than picture B".

no need, but thanks. daily routine become a more painful, because of two-way blocking. i even cant read new science paperwork from US universities, they're block whole ASN's.
we're slowly moving to great firewall, i suppose.
Yea, I'd prefer living in Malta to Singapore every day. Though I'd probably prefer today's Singapore to the one before Yew's times.

Your comment is completely backwards. Chevron has nothing to do with this.

This was a specific law passed by Congress and the Trump administration to make their massive tax cut for billionaires revenue neutral.

The IRS is implementing the law as passed and has nothing to do with Chevron. It would be the exact same with or without Chevron because this has nothing to do with it.

It’s quite telling that the anti Chevron people have to rely on blatant falsehoods to push their agenda.
This viewpoint is utterly divorced from reality. I recommend you go read Chevron. The case itself was a massive win for deregulation under Reagan, and overturned a D.C. Circuit opinion by Ruth Bader Ginsburg that invalidated an EPA rule loosening environmental protections just because there was a new administration.
I respectfully disagree.

A platform team will eventually and quick fast become a bottleneck, especially if they offer abstractions over infrastructure, paas, saas etc.

Such a team is not any different than previous admin/infra teams. The operation model. When their offering breaks or is incapable, dependent teams wait or is stuck.

A team should be self sufficient and be able to decide for themselves how they cope with what they need to move forward in a sustainable manner. That means they should do everything themselves towards enabling there offering.

I have worked with so called CI/CD teams at least 10 times and it doesn't foster what devops is all about, which is essentially collaboration, mandate and responsibility for your software, inside a smaller team.

It comes down to how you organise and where decisions are placed and carried out. Something that reflects on centuries of command and control organisations where it has been around controlling and not enabling and autonomy.

I have worked a few places where the platform decision was taken on a broad spectrum, aws for example, and from there every individual teams could do whatever.

Every software/product team should be able to do everything they need to develop,test,deploy,secure and monitor their things. It works in a lot of places so of course it can work in a lot of other places.
Artists complain because they are being hit with the fact that most people don't care about art.

Why is AI taking over corporate designs? Because, my dear artist, the stuff corporations commissioned you wasn't art, they were formulaic cogs into a soulless machine.

Why is AI taking over porn? Because, my dear artists, almost all of your NSFW commissions wasn't art, its single purpose was making someone cum.

Before automation people were forced to hire artists. Do you think the Church in the middle ages would have hired so many painters to decorate the walls of the myriad of minor churches in their possession? No, they would have saved them for the big meaningful projects and let AI do the job elsewhere.

The people really paying you for your art are a minority and won't go away. Deal with this fact however you like. Perhaps if you're such a good artist then use AI to round up your weaker skills such as marketing or story writing.
"actual thought" "gut reaction" etc are artificial categories and are nothing like the real processes of human cognition. these are myths you are using to reason about reason. It's nonsense.
What's the median payout? i.e. is it skewed by some very high earning artists?
The author talks of "summarizing" but I think there's a deeper concept at play: compression.

Human thoughts are compressed into speech. Many people probably speak only a tiny fraction of their thoughts. Writing is compressed speach, most people write only a fraction of what they say (unless you're a professional content producer/author/developer/etc). Entire worlds of thought are regularly compressed into writing. Poetry is often further compressed. It's trying to fit vast complexity into as few words as possible.

Think how many words have been written trying to accurately decompress the full meanings in Hamlet, the Odyssey, or Beowulf.

Tweets are compressed writing. Memes are compressed tweets.

LLM can compress huge amounts of text into a few words. This is pretty remarkable, but it is only ever as good as the input. It's never creating, it's simply compressing concepts it is trained on. You can unlock parts of that compressed data with prompts.

If my friend and I both shared the same LLM, I could send them a few words to use as a prompt, knowing that it will "expand" into paragraphs or even chapters of meaning already pre-compressed inside the LLM.

I think this is possibly a new thing, imagine like HugeLol, Reddit, X.com, but instead of tweets and memes it's LLM prompts. We're able now more than ever to transmit complex concepts to each other with the smallest possible bits.

I've seen this a bit already on some of the LocalLlama online groups. They'll post prompts to each other to produce a "personality" they can interact with. I suspect this will be more and more used to compress and send data to each other.

Open plugins are meaningless when the platform itslelf isn't open.
There are also lots of markdown centric note software so its not too much of a draw for obsidian.
Personally I'd never use a proprietary note app, having to switch if the company shutters is too much, at least FOSS apps can be forked. Though, I've not heard anything bad about the obsidian team, maybe they open source it if they shut down. They also don't seem like the type to rugpull their customers. But you know how many companies people have said that about.
We moved from AZ to suburban Atlanta last year, and were familiar with interlibrary loan for rural libraries in AZ. But wow! PINES is sensational. We get books and DVDs, even some BluRays from all over GA. Been watching The Wire again, it's great.

And the inventory isn't censored either. I started a reread of Gravity's Rainbow and that came from Carrolton (college town). Certain gory/raunchy murder mystery series come from the oddest places. Series like Game of Thrones. And highbrow academic stuff like Anne Hollander.

Reminds me I got to log on and extend a couple of titles.

But yeah, we still buy dead tree books, occasionally, from Amazon, but only if we want to keep them. It turns out PINES is great for that, too. Just put it on hold, review it in person, and if it's actually good, buy it.
That's not what Nick Cave says though, is it? He's not complaining about the tech enabling people to create. He says the whole song results suck and only have surface level similarity to someone. The closest he gets is actually just accepting: "ChatGPT may be able to write a speech or an essay or a sermon or an obituary". He's not even saying anything about using LLM as a tool to help you express what you actually want to create, ("here's the beginning, now I need a line about X, but [constraint Y]") but rather criticises the complete "song in style of ..." result.
Easy to say when you have a foundation that holds all your wealth and you only pay marginal income taxes. That's pure marketing. Anarcho-capitalism is a better idea.
I might assert, with false nostalgia because I wasn't there, that we had a much better connection with what it meant to be human when we were tilling dirt and making clay pots and weaving cloth for each other, and now having been estranged from the physcial meaning-making all we have left is our image making, our personas we create for each other and these arguments we have online, and now we're automating that away too.
>Did your laptop selection site just replicate the data from Amazon, or did it try and do something novel?

I thought it was novel. It was basically a guided questionnaire that asked you about your needs and price point and then spit out a laptop recommendation at the end
I wonder when will be the time when Apple themselves just give in and create something like a M core Xserve. They stopped selling them as they weren't popular, but at that time Macs simply weren't popular.

Apple themselves would make good use of the Xserve for their own internal use rather than buying Dell/HP servers like they currently do. Also things like Xcode cloud are currently running on x86 commodity servers, in the future Apple likely will stop supporting x86 altogether and it makes sense to run it on AS. They could reuse the high-end Mac Studio or similar chips and only have a custom board and chassis suitable for server use, with additional IO and redundancy.

And for those saying that Apple isn't interested in large deloyments, they literally make the Mac Pro in rackmount form for render farms and so forth. The Mac Mini has 10G ethernet and the formfactor purposely hasn't changed. The chips are efficient enought that you don't need screaming loud 1U fans and they could definitely create a quiet 1U Studio suitable for both dense datacenter deployments and a TV studio technician's rack.
How does one determine whether work done by an employee is classified as R&D or as an immediate expense?

If a programmer is building an app that isn't yet offered as a product, is that R&D?

If a programmer is maintaining an app that is offered as a product, is that NOT R&D?
If the thought of voice chats with randomly selected strangers didn't terrify me slightly, I think this would be an awesome idea. For the more out-going among us, can imagine some cool conversations and ideas coming out of this
Not GP but I assume he meant the transgender community (not really the concept of transgender itself, but specifically the contemporary community that tries to reframe the concept of gender identity, such as the idea that gedner is a separate thing from sex, from how it is traditionally thought of).

What is note-taking exactly? Like notes from meetings, or like a replacement for a journal, or? Why not just use a text editor?

I’ve been operating for years without a “note-taking” solution. What am I missing?
At the moment it does not. As per the paper[1]:
