There’s definitely a gap for going from zero to something.

The guided conversation is too many words at once, it’s overwhelming. I immediately see a prompt to assemble two sentences from a list of words I don’t know without translations or hints. It’s the opposite problem of Duolingo drilling the same phrase a dozen times a day.

For all the negative comments, think of the huge value this will have to improving life in countries where farming is not some pastoralized, romantic fantasy. The amount of food we have to grow is staggering. The alternative is continuing to prop up the economic disparity where first world HN posters rely on third world family farmers who would rather send their kids to college.

Yes, you should be able to grow your own food if you want to. Yes, you should be able to buy a tractor that is repairable.
Congress can only regulate commerce between states. If someone trained a model completely in state and then sold it to folks within the state, the commerce clause wouldn't apply.

Heh, I was playing with modifying YT content using AI a year ago, but for sponsored content: https://butter.sonnet.io

Another WFH/RTO article. How many are we going to do? Has the argument changed in any way? Or are proponents of both going to use the exact same arguments as ever?

Here… allow me…

WFH: I will never admit any abuse on my part or on anyone else's ever.

RTO: This is happening. And everyone agrees, so you will have no choice.

On the one hand, I fully agree. On the other hand, I also agree with the intuitive argument that it's very strange to let private corporations surveil and gather, buy, and sell information about citizens to exploit for profit, but then say that the government can't buy that same information for law enforcement and national security.

It feels wrong to say that it's fine for someone with only a profit motive to use private data in small, petty ways to extract more profit from someone that's already paid them, but that the duly elected representative government can't use it for big, important things. Or, if law enforcement and national security are too fraught, what about, say, public health policy?

The obvious answer is that corporations shouldn't have access to it either, but that's a much harder sell, and so we're in this weird limbo.
Eh. All of these things requiring a context switch seems alien to me. So it’s less of a use case and more “just make it fast” since the incremental cost should be 0?
I think a problem with TVs for Apple is that they’d be under pressure to build them in a zillion different sizes. That’s not in their DNA.

A good beamer might be more fitting for them; they would only have to build them in ‘small’, ‘medium’ and ‘large’.

In either case, like you I’m not sure the market is large enough for a company of Apple’s size and DNA (it’s unlikely that they’ll try to find not one huge next big hit, but lots and lots of smaller ones. They’re not Ikea)

> they were too expensive

I think this is the biggest problem, plus the fact these systems tend to be tied to proprietary - and also very expensive - hardware platforms. If I want to learn about GNU/Linux or BSD, all I need is a computer (PC in most cases, but other options exist) and an Internet connection. These days, most people (at least in Europe and North America) have these anyway, so it's really easy to get started in the comfort of one's own home.

Having a free account on a public machine is cool, but it's not the same as having your own system, especially if you want to learn about system administration.

The thing that I keep coming back to, is that if a company is taking an action, it should be about reducing friction to go to and making the office space a better place to work.

If the company is taking an action that makes it less likely for people to come to the office or enjoy it, then it's pretty clear what they are doing.
People really want to push remote work as being great for businesses. The sad reality is that it’s not (at least for knowledge workers)… it kills productivity and the output is always lower quality.
What will "Children playing" signs do? The concept always amused me. Does anyone seriously think a driver, having already made a decision to be a speeding asshole, will change their behaviour because of some lame, barely noticeable sign? It's even sadder to see those homemade ones people put up on the boulevards.

Your city failed to properly design streets and enforce traffic laws. This happened because, over many decades, the voters in your city wanted it to be so, and voted accordingly. Unless the attitudes of voters change, and/or people who want this to change but don't vote in municipal elections start voting, no amount of "think of the children" signs will ever make a dent in the situation. And, while we're at it, slapping a 40 kmh (or whatever American equivalent) sign on a wide straight "residential street" where you can comfortably do double that speed without risking a trip to the body shop is about as effective.

Physical re-design and effective (preferably automated) speed enforcement. Nothing else works, no point wasting steel and paint.

They don't proliferate, so they seem to be more like non-infectious RNA plasmids, and not infectious viroids. TLDR not a new form of life.
I agree with this. I would argue that an even worse contributor to danger are the neighborhoods where everyone parks on the street, either because the neighborhood homes have no driveways or because it's such a high cost of living that most houses are rented out to 3+ individuals leading to overflow parking. I roamed the streets as a 90s kid and while I dont remember if people drove faster/slower then (I do remember there being less traffic, but that's subjective and fallible) I do remember being able to look down most of the block when I crossed the street. But in densely populated areas, going between parked cars (especially as a short child) greatly obstructs the view.
I too am a only child, and was a free-range/latch-key kid in the 80's.

We lived on a somewhat quiet dead end street. The neighbor kids were fun but we got into all sorts of nonsense...

I have a very distinct memory of my parents taking me to go furniture shopping at about the age of 8 or 9. It was a fate worse than death. Do you have any idea how boring furniture is to a small child.

I remember coming home, rounding a curve on our street and seeing the end of it. SO. MANY. FIRETRUCKS.

I missed the roman candle fight, I missed the dry pine going up like a torch. I missed the fire department (small town they all came it was an even) and the police.

Dumb luck kept me out of a lot of trouble in my youth. it. It's no wonder im not dead.
There is no reason to assume this is a matter of proteins.

It could just as easily be viral or bacterial infection. Classically, people always just assumed that brains had no such infections. Until somebody checked, and they turn out to be very common.

But they still don't look for infections in Alzheimer's patients' brains, probably because it would make them seem negligent. (Which they are.)
No, you are right. I think this APU is basically a spin-off mobile processor. The technology comparison would be translatable, though, as with laptops battery life and weight matters.

However, here we talk about the desktop market, don't we? And not every desktop PC has to be a gaming capable machine. Power-savings will probably be even more relevant for organizations running hundreds of office machines and terminals.

>Diesel fuel and generator maintenance: how do you hire for that?

This is typically part of the job of a facilities manager, someone who is in charge of maintaining the physical structure and amenities of a building or complex of buildings. You hire for it the same way you hire for everything else; you find someone in the category that you want, who has apparent success doing something similar to what you're doing.
That is expecting the fox to watch the hen house.
If you quit, they'll just hire someone who's willing to do the crappy stuff. As a bonus, they'll probably pay less for that person. Or they'll spread the burden over the remaining staff. Or they'll outsource the whole team to some remote hell. Quality is not a bottom-up thing, everybody has to be in on it.

Most management will exchange quality for quick gain whenever they can because they're there to make money and don't plan for long term. Because they can also leave the ship when the sum of their mistakes starts to sink it.
Making selling personal information illegal solves this problem. If there is no profit motive to collecting the data most companies will just not collect it.
Nice work. I feel like there must be some way to triangulate the sound source through direct calculation, but that trigonometry is too advanced for me.
For DMARC alignment you need either SPF alignment or DKIM alignment, either one will do. (note that 'alignment' is not the same as an SPF pass).

Which means that you _could_ get away with just SPF alignment, but you wouldn't want to trust on that since SPF is horribly broken and most third party senders don't even bother with SPF alignment anymore. Always focus on DKIM alignment instead.

But if you are now just thinking about this, you're in trouble anyway. If you are sending bulk amounts of email (that is, 5k a day per Google's rules) and you are not yet signing with DKIM, then you are probably not ready for adopting a strong DMARC policy ('quarantine' or 'reject') before Feb 1st.

Email hardening takes time, the larger/more complex your domain is, the more time you probably need to ensure you are DKIM aligned for all your delegated senders. Don't be tempted to just add a DMARC record with p=reject policy, that would be irresponsible and asking for problems (read: undeliverable email).

Everybody has very different subjective preferences and is subject to somewhat objective tradeoffs. I worked in two different places of my house today, with the same laptop. One location when the sun heated up an external room with no heating, another location in a heated room before and after then. I couldn't do that if I had to move around a large monitor, a mouse and a keyboard: too much troubles. I didn't move my chair, that stays in the main working location for the period of the year.
Cease and desist letters are cold emails.

Many people would be surprised by how high tech farming has become over the last decade or so.

In the next few decades I wouldn't be surprised if most of the farming done in the US will be done from an office building.

Last year I went to a farm where they had a guy sitting in a room with 5 screens watching tractors farm fields. The cameras, sensors radars, mapping ect. were all powered by GPS.

The data is also sent to John Deere and they will do diagnostics on your equipment for you while you are using it and let you know if you need to do anything.
Not a problem, unlike Musk, John Deere actually has a real working self-driving product.
Suggested edit: in your "handy rule of thumb", delete

since (1) official APIs and services are constantly getting redefined and (2) what's stopping them from deciding they just don't like how you're using the official APIs/services?
This is the old "things aren't the way they used to be" complaint. Always a crowd-pleaser, but also an inevitable constant and not necessarily bad.

It's also really weak how it throws "safetyism" in there even though it doesn't even try to connect it to playtime.

To me it feels like it's purposely conflating the inevitability of change (along with its attendant discomfort), the physical safety of children, and the invented political wedge concept of "safetyism" for the clicks. Just more dumb crap.

It's also unclear how much "safetyism" is responsible for the changes in play vs some of the million other things that are different from decades ago.

It comes off as a cheap shot to me, and a rather dumb one at that. E.g., adding the pejorative "ism" to added to

thank you :) to begin with, I wanted it open source & local first. Anything that wasn't that wasn't really considered. most todo apps that passed this criteria were either a pain to work from the terminal, or were uncomfortable to use on the go (often due to syncing), or forced me to use their designated tools when working with the notes.

> TRUNCATE TABLE <new_table> CASCADE;

Ouch. DELETE FROM <new_table> is what they wanted here.

Somewhat related, and this wouldn't have saved them since they were using TRUNCATE instead of DELETE, but I always use ON DELETE RESTRICT instead of ON DELETE CASCADE when setting up foreign keys. I'd rather be slightly inconvenienced on the rare occasion I'm hard-deleting data and have to be really explicit about what I want to delete rather than inadvertently allow a "convenience" like ON DELETE CASCADE to delete my data for me.
This depends heavily on your workflow. For example I use vim almost exclusively for editing files, and drop back into the shell to use external tools (e.g., git, linters, formatters, debuggers, file tree manipulation, etc.) So my terminal emulator is already the main application. For this workflow the lack of a dedicated GUI is almost immaterial.
Guile Hoot (Scheme to WASM) v0.3.0 released
The api interface is simple, but the change would impact the code underneath. Since these are branch and bound algorithms, it would really depend on how often the worst runtime complexity case occurred. If it only happened in 2% of use cases, it might not make a huge difference for example.
This is an unexpected programming application. It's nice that the farmer actually changed behavior after receiving the phone call.

At first, I thought there was a clear improvement. This problem essentially boils down to finding the intersection point of three circles. But it's also likely that with the small fuzz from imprecise time measurement that the three measured circles wouldn't actually intersect. I would guess that a small boost could be achieved by sampling points near the two intersection points of any two circles, but this is moot when it's just possible to brute force the whole grid.
That is an irrelevant argument. With regard to the fourth amendment all that matters is whether the government is using that information to harm or detain somebody. It does not matter how much value you place upon that information or whether anybody should have it or not.

NSA are not law enforcement, so comparing the NSA to law enforcement results in absurd conclusions.
I've never seen these; perhaps you need to scrub your watch history as well as use "never recommend me this again" and reporting content. It's possible that it's counted a mouseover preview as a "watch" on one of those, and now you're doomed to get more of them.

The mayor of a municipality in Istanbul proudly announced that they built walls around a small city park to keep kids safe.

And I was the only weirdo who asked why they didn’t put measures in place against speeding drivers instead.

People see completely normal to take their kids to this walled garden that looks like a prison yard with a few trees and a playground.

This hysteria of every stranger must be a criminal and everything is dangerous successfully pushed people into compartments.

Eastern Europe is honestly much more free than all the places I’ve been. To be honest, Eastern Europe does have safety problems but it’s mostly about self harm caused by nihilism, maybe that’s part of the reason why people don’t freak out about everything in first place but when I’m in Eastern Europe I feel significantly less stressed than when I’m in the UK or Turkey.

Maybe an approach somewhere between Eastern European nihilism and Western “everything is extremely important” mentality must be reached.

Put the speed bumpers against the maniacs and let the kids learn how to operate without the safety nets.

Like at the ending of “Demolition Man” movie, maybe some of us need to take stuff a bit more seriously and others relax a bit.

Disclaimer: I built an Open-Source PHR

The thing that most people don't realize is that the legally enforced HIPAA protections they take for granted no longer apply when they request their medical data from a healthcare institution and store it in a third party app -- like Apple Health.

The only thing protecting your medical records from being data-mined and monetized is Apple Health's privacy policy and (current) technical architecture. You've seen examples of it in the news with women's period tracking apps, but it'll become even more common as apps start leveraging APIs opened by the 21st Century Cure's Act.

I'm not a tin-foil hat wearing engineer, but I can forsee a day when Apple's reputation of being "Privacy-conscious" might not be worth as much money as the medical data they've collected from their customers.

It's one of the reasons why I decided to build my own open-source PHR, so that the incentives between the software and me as an individual are kept in alignment.
