I'll go one step further. RTO mandates are being used to mask how shockingly bad most manager's written communication and critical thinking skills are. When their ability to "manage by walking around" is taken away you very quickly notice how terrible their writing (and thus thinking) is.

I've experienced this first hand at multiple companies and it's fairly cringe-inducing to hear the excuses made for simple asks like having a written meeting agenda, project specification, or high level feature descriptions. Work breakdown meetings with these types over video calls amount to them trying to tell other people what to write down and ending the meeting as quickly as possible (perhaps the only upside).

Ascension to management appears to be a more extreme, self selecting version of the Peter principle for many. They can't make a living, or their desired income, in a role that has a well defined output and thus search for hiding places within organizations. Remote work puts them back into a role with expected outputs, and that's basically panic-inducing for someone who opted out of such things long ago.

My verdict: too much pride to admit that whatever communication skills they ever had have atrophied in the cauldron of management-level in-office politics. More energy than is required to learn to write coherently will be expended protecting identity and status. Companies will have to die and be replaced by those with more sensible policies and hiring discernment.
Just because you can't imagine yourself acting such a way doesn't mean that it falls outside the spectrum of "somewhat acceptable". It just means that you're probably way more careful with your emotions and tone than Linus. There's pros and cons to both, but in general, yea people are different.
The GitHub image is 86GB and people want an action VM to start reasonably quickly, so a full copy for every run isn’t going to work so well.

As a side note, isn’t it nuts that GHA operates on a principle of “installing the universe” (and apparently the universe is 86GB) and updating about every week, and it’s not total chaos? I was surprised, but it seems to work.

I'd say Safety, speed, and concurrency in that order. When Rust advocates talk about the borrow checker I - as a C++ developer - get interested. I can get similar safety and speed from C++ if I use modern C++, but it is too easy to drop back to the unsafe C++ even when modern C++ does the job. (You can drop to unsafe rust if you need, but it isn't as easy, and thus I would expect that Rust developers are not doing that unless they have a real need)
Ask HN: Please help locate article on different browser behavior on instance age
There was an article about a browser behavior differently if it was open for 4 hours (I think?) I cannot locate if it was a blog or CCC and I've been searching for a bit, can someone help find and locate? I only recall the description but just thought I wanted to get to it
My point really is that people get their kids' phones because they think they have to, but that's the root of the problem. We don't prevent our kids from being online - what we prevent them from doing is being online on their own, away from the house, with the internet in their pocket all the time. They each have computers.
They were but TIL! Will set that up
There's a fascinating book that explores this exact thing, in $1/gal increments. Worth reading.
This is my experience as well. Ranchers and farmers that are established are quite wealthy. Maybe sometimes that's paper wealth or paired with seasonal debt up to their eyeballs. Also probably some extremely single-threaded dependencies (JD and JD authorized repair outlets, seed strains, etc).
It’s kind of irrelevant who the police officer worked for. In the end courts have to interpret the law and decided how a law is applied. Even if a law might not explicitly state the exact circumstances, the court may decided that the spirit of the law was broken. It’s of course a more difficult case to make for investigators, why law makers might then codify the law more precisely.
Not as an employee, but I co-founded a startup with a friend. We were friends since college and he had come up with a good idea, and insisted I should help him build the product. He was a non-tech guy so I built the whole thing and we made some good money.

Fast forwarding 2 years, the numbers started going down and he started looking for alternative ways to increase our income and came up with crazy projects that we failed to deliver. Ideas like building a video generation engine for product marketing. We only had two junior devs at that time...

At the end, he tried screwing me over legally. Fortunately, I had a good lawyer and left the company at the right time with my pockets full.
The amount of support give by other posters here for Linus’ insane antisocial behavior is crazy.

I would never, ever contribute upstream to Linux so long as Linus is involved. My time is too valuable to deal with his BS.

He should realize the hostile environment he creates drives away contributors.
I would add kids are a lifetime commitment. The relationship changes after 18, 21, 30 but still requires time/effort.

This is a radical idea, but I think what may happen eventually is that we figure out a way to incubate mammals, ie. an artificial uterus. Governments start to raise people like we raise fish in fish farms. Those people are now loyal to the state, that's their family. It's similar to an ant colony. Natural reproduction may be banned, or severely penalized. Many science fiction novels have explored this idea. I can see communist countries loving this idea.
> Wouldn't the desired alternative be to have adequately wealthy, good quality of life farmers?

Not realistic if 90% of the population were farming, as asserted before. Quality of life has risen dramatically over the last century or two exactly because people are no longer bound to the fields and are able to do and create other things. Put them back in the fields and where is the wealth and quality of life going to come from?
Very clever, anyway I put a very high
gc-cons-threshold in my .emacs and I never had big issues.

The reality is emacs is complex but today computers with 8GBs of ram has about 1000x memory of the original emacs target (a machine with 8 MB of RAM) and even faster processors.

Now I am in love with vscode, but I think I need to come back to emacs :) sometimes
With VS Code fuzzy filename search (CTRL-P) and project-wide text search (CTRL-SHIFT-F) you could probably get away with dumping all your files into a single directory. I find myself using these tools to navigate my projects more than the folder tree.

However, it makes sense to have things like web site routes match your FS structure...

Vite has this concept of path aliases[1]. So you can give a folder an alias like `$data`. If you want to change that folder's location in the hierarchy later, it's just a matter of moving the folder and updating the alias. So you could start with all your folders in the project root and worry about the folder structure later.

I really hope Oxide succeeds. I thought they were crazy when they announced what they were going to do. It's not the kind of play you see from a start up, but they were determined. Most folks that started the race at that time are out. I hope their computer is ready to deploy GPUs. Deploying multiple GPUs today is a freaking pain.
The result of the cost of this tractor divided by cost of a Tesla is somewhat close to the number of screens in this tractor.

Yes, that is correct. We are also working on implementing our own caching, which should speed up cache downloads/uploads significantly.

The future of AI involves many unknown risks and impacts. This means that any beliefs about the topic essentially cross into the realm of *faith*.

As a faith-based matter, perspectives on AI manifest as similar to existing spiritual practices.

This is similar from early responses to COVID-19, before the science was well-understood.
I would guess later in life when your insurance agent or tax prep person find out you didn't fill out a will yet and introduces you or encourages you to have an attorney write one with you. Now your family has an attorney! That or going through a family estate.
A lot of this is about parent/child relationships and making sure our kids won’t feel such a degree of shame about something like this happening that they’d resort to taking their own life, but also unless these companies have some skin in the game, they have no motivation to help combat these types of things from happening.
Seems like there's a lot of criticism in the comments about this not being "simple". When "simple" is used to describe an app, it can either mean "easy to use" or "minimal infrastructure". People are interpreting it to mean the former, but it's clearly the latter.

I use Obsidian for notes and pen and paper for task management (Bullet Journal), but I always love poking around at productivity apps that value this kind of "simplicity". It's joyful to use my computer as a personal tool to do things the way I want to do them, rather than being at the mercy of whichever app sucks the least. The sad reality is that we're moving ever further away from that style of computing, which makes me value apps like this.

My one piece of constructive criticism would be to rework "Integrations" as "Extensions", maybe each in their own Python module that interfaces with a core API. For example, right now I see the GPT summary integration as a `get_summary()` function in core.py, but it feels like it shouldn't belong there. Spinning off the "integrations" into separate extension modules would not only help with the messaging of Wren being simple, but they would also serve as good examples for users to build their own extension modules. Hell, having a Wren extensions folder in .config would be awesome, like if you could just drop .py files in there to add new extension commands to Wren.

Those are my two cents, keep up the good work!
Yes, that's great, and it makes things extremely snappy while the socket connection remains open. Sleep your computer overnight, experience some network stormy weather, leave Emacs buffers open for weeks (as one does) and eventually one of those ControlMaster sockets are going to become wedged, and when that happens you're going to go through some things.

> The entity selling them just takes payment via ethereum or other coins, but at best what they're storing on that chain is a pointer saying "oh yea, nytesky bought this thing that we store elsewhere".

The thing that I never understand when people make this complaint: Do you think my purchase of the "monkey picture" is now more real, because someone else paid for Ethereum nodes to physically store the bytes to it, instead of a link? Do I own it "more"? Does it have to be stored in a particular location within the Merkle tree? Can I upload it myself to make my ownership of my monkey more "real"?

What if I store it in the Arctic World Archive instead, does it now have more or less permanency than on the blockchain?

The line of critique inherently seems to make no sense; it's IMO a strong sign that it is fundamentally flawed.
> Any thoughts on how we fight this battle?

Go into a different line of business.

Your business model is entirely dependent on free-riding on another company. LinkedIn has had anti-data scraping policies for over a decade, your business is not special, and you are PUTTING YOUR CUSTOMERS AT RISK by trying to knowingly find workarounds to LinkedIn's terms and conditions.

Use your creative energy to find other, better ways of providing value-add for sales teams. Automating something that should only take them a few seconds to do on their own is not actually improving the sales process - you are only helping them automate very, very low quality sales motions.
Social media is not required to have a free society. I don't think the progression you predict is how things would play out. IMO, At some point, people will simply talk in person (well, off-network) to be sociable.

Casual piracy, e.g. link sharing in DMs, would be a tipping point if I had to guess.
> No, the real foreboding came during a segment when Lyu breathlessly explained how the Rabbit could order pizza for you, telling it “the most-ordered option is fine,” leaving his choice of dinner up to the Pizza Hut website. After that, he proceeded to have the Rabbit plan an entire trip to London for him. The device very clearly just pulled a bunch of sights to see from some top-10 list on the internet, one that was very likely AI-generated itself.

> Most of the Rabbit’s capabilities were well in line with existing voice-activated products, like Amazon Alexa. Its claim to being something special is its ability to create a “digital twin” of the user, which can directly utilize all of your apps so that you, the person, don’t have to. It can even use Midjourney to generate AI images for you, removing yet another level of human involvement and driving us all deeper into the uncanny valley.

> We know very little about how the Rabbit will actually interact with all of these apps, or how secure your data will be, but the first 10,000 preorder units sold out at CES the instant they were announced.

This just shows why journalism is a pathetic industry. I actually had the exact same feelings as the author when this product was first revealed. It turns out, the way it interacts with apps is very interesting.

I suggest you all watch this interview of the founder to hear how he explains it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-MNgciL5hw

It's not just interacting directly with APIs. But what does this say about an industry where someone who's job is to write about this knows less than me who is only somewhat interested in this topic?

Also, cults and cool new things have one thing in common, a lot of very excited people.

(and no, I'm not buying a rabbit r1, I was just curious about it because when I first saw it I was wondering why this couldn't just be an app)
I tend to agree. If you're going to allow people to anonymize their identities with your tools, and further use your tools to facilitate mass crime that results in damages or loss of life, you need to be accountable for that!

I think the only way out of this is a full ID verification system online, which worries me a lot for a bunch of reasons. Not sure how you de-anonymize for safety without invading privacy (the eternal tradeoff).
Quite a bit, it's expensive to turn rocks into sand. Seems plausible that mines will start selling off their sand (after whatever they are mining is removed).
We don't have a free society when predators can easily prey on victims like this with no repercussions. That's not freedom for the victims, that's just another form of prison. I personally don't know what the answer is, but it isn't "do nothing to protect freedom".
Thanks for pointing those out. I see that my info is outdated.
That's why it is very important to turn off GPS Location service on your phone (except for maybe "Find My Phone" then also turn off "Share My Location" as well).

I would imagine this to be a safety feature to leave your GPS-disabled phone on and left in your glove box of your car if working in an area where phones are prohibited.
>>> Farmers with field crops are often beset with Canadian Geese overwintering in the Willamette Valley.

No. I strongly suspect they are dealing with Canada Geese. They are dominant in the photos. Canadian geese would be some random species of geese carrying a Canadian passport. Canada geese are the distinct grey-black species aka cobra chickens.

> Imagine what that does a person's lungs

That goo is propylene glycol, the main liquid component of most vape juices. It's also used in theatrical fog machines, which are generally considered safe to fill a room with and then let the general public wander around in. It's also used as a carrier for inhalable medications, including asthma inhalers, so medical professionals are OK with someone in respiratory distress inhaling it.

Obviously neither of those use cases are directly comparable to someone who is heavily using a vape, especially a "cloud chaser" who is intentionally going after thick clouds, so there are certainly unknowns but there's not really any reason to expect it to be horrible.

There have of course been issues with specific additives found in certain vape products turning out to be irritating or harmful but that's a very different matter from implying the whole concept is harmful.

---

Of course inhaling anything that isn't either clean air or a medically validated mix of oxygen and inert gases is not ideal, but it's also worth remembering that these are primarily an alternative to smoking either cigarettes or weed. If someone who would otherwise be lighting some rolled up dried out plants on fire and inhaling the combustion products is instead getting the active ingredients they crave delivered by inhaling an aerosolized goo that's generally considered safe to inhale I'd say that's a firm positive.
0/1 ILP is NP-hard and the trivial algorithm takes O(2^N), and it's also in NP.
I'm talking mostly about DUI. But yes, even with speed limits. A stricter licensing program with better education could fix a lot of the issues. Most people don't understand vehicle dynamics. If they had some basic understanding about stuff like 2x speed is 4x stopping distance, it might wake them up. Most drivers do risky things without realizing they are risky because they are so ignorant, even when following the speed limit. Many other developed nations have lower fatalities and stricter licensing (even when speeds are unrestricted like the autobahn).
Obviously you choose your own relevant threat models, but it's common to do in iOS apps--many apps are including it in their threat models. Pinning the CA cert is what Apple recommends to app developers. It's not an unreasonable thing to do.

But I do use WhatsApp. I could live just fine without it. but would/could a ban include a ban from Whatsapp? I guess I naively assume they don't know enough from my WhatsApp usage to link it to my identity. But of course a phone number is as close unique identity as they come.

And I think that is fine so long as it no longer becomes a requirement of the standard function of the equipment. I should be able to buy a tractor and use it as a tractor with a reduced feature set that doesn't rely on external systems, but it can still accomplish the base set of features a tractor needs, even if not optimal. And the parts the require external data are opt-in and not required for basic functionality. Which is the fear. You bought the tractor or piece of equipment, but it is useless without also all the other subscriptions.

Taking the sprinkler. I make a sprinkler system. You buy the system and can work with with your own local manual settings, no extra fees, no external communication required. But you can pay me a, lets say $15/month subscription and I will control it using AI/ML and historical data to try to control it in a way to maximize it's use and output. I think that is fine so long as your allowed to cancel the subscription and set your own basic settings and it can operate. And most parts are easily sourced and replaceable.

> * get comfortable reading legal documents, this will allow you to have more
intelligent conversations with your attorney

Another tip. Hire an attorney who will teach you how to do this effectively. A simple rule of thumb is to consult with an attorney when you don't understand something. A good attorney will walk you through the issue, explain the possible ramifications, and (most importantly!) show you the standard response(s). Next time you can do it yourself. Also, you'll ask more focused questions the next time a novel issue pops up on that topic. That also saves money.

In summary, think of your attorney as a mentor not a robot to provide legal advice.
