Heh, this reminds me a bit of when on live television Contessa Brewer tried to dismiss Mo Brooks with "well do you have an economics degree?" and he actually did and responded with "Yes ma'am I do, highest honors" :-D [1]

I have no problem with (and have written a few) giant bash scripts, and I completely agree with you. A giant bash script isn't going to have many eyes on it, whereas a huge project like the kernel is going to get a ton of scrutiny.

You shouldn't be using a comma in that position! You could use a period or semicolon instead!!! How can an esteemed HNer not know basic punctuation?!
Personally I _always_ got better taste in the sauce if I make it from tomatoes, even supermarket bought ones in the winter. But it might be just some bias that I haven't done it from a can in a long time. :)
H-1B Domestic Visa Renewal Pilot Program Begins as Demand Soars
Is flathub.org not a great GUI for browsing apps. If you click the down arrow next to 'Install', it gives you the command to install from the command line, so it's just a quick copy and paste.

Or you can download the .flatpakref and define your own app handler instead of gnome-software. The handler just has to run `flatpak install /path/to/app.flatpakref`. A quick bash script + something like zenity (for gui dialogs) could take care of that.
Since the '90s. While the preferred form is '\', '/' was allowed as an alternate path separator.
I think you are referring to KTPI, but a) it might not be needed on recent CPUs that had meltdown-like issues patched, and b) in any case on CPUs that can tag pages with process identifiers (most of them these days), it can avoid TLB flushes most of the time.

But I don't claim any specific knowledge of on these mitigations.
Well let's say congrats to them then, because we will all benefit back from that, especially since they work more in open way as we can download the Qwen-VL-Max model, inspect it and use it offline.

Europe is copying ChatGPT, and all we got is a louzy LLaMA-fork.
> start a war to kill many of their young and mid aged single men

That would be stupid, one thing the regime is not. Easier is to allow immigration of brides from Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Also, they can simply promote mechanization of agriculture. Right now, ~20-30% population is in agriculture that can be reduced to 2-5%.
Most of the docs "leaked" there were neither leaked there nor are they particularly sensitive. Most of them had been floating around the internet for years previously.
Right, and I was responding to the remarks made in the parent post about depression.
Did you already try out the guided mode? If not you can always switch in a conversation on the top left chat settings, by pressing on the cogwheel and then switching to guided. Hope this is something that could help you!
Wow that makes me feel bad about using crypto. /s. Oh well, I've worked on payment platforms. I do online purchases all the time. I know which one takes more time, has more rejections, requires me to give up more personal details, etc.

In the ideal world aye absolutely, in this reality the time was wasted
I’m watching the excellent Ken Burns documentary “The Vietnam War” right now, and this is a subject that is briefly touched on. The US was collecting such a vast amount of data and metrics during their war, quantifying everything, that they simply could not process it all. They didn’t have the minds or the manpower to make sense of it all.
> In-N-Out instead of McDonalds

Whenever I make this analogy here people jump in to say how much better McDonalds is :(
That's great! It has a similar selection UI to https://www.when2meet.com/, but has much better mobile support. It'd be nice to have a mode for scheduling weekdays in the abstract (e.g. I'm free on Thursdays at noon), but it's always possible to use a random week as an example.
Agreed, from everything I've seen the catalyst for this [low birth rates] is birth control and women's rights. Both gave women choices [a good thing]. When they use these choices it creates large demographic shifts. Enough time has passed that 2-earner households are required for a similar QoL, which makes children more expensive.
It doesn’t need to be unique, it just needs to leak enough information to decrease the search space enough to where brute force (or other methods) can kick in.
Nice, like that!

I am thinking is in IT industry 'too clever and hardworking'the same as 'stupid and hardworking'?
I thought this was a well-known fact!

In short, the government is special because of its broad sweeping power to make laws that impact everyone. For example, consider the first amendment: "Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech". This applies to the government but not, say, to a third grade classroom rule against using curse words. It's perfectly reasonable for a private group to ban certain kinds of speech because if you don't like it, you can go somewhere else. But much more care must be taken when you're operating in the sphere of laws and government actions.

Another way to put it...the government is the only entity in society with a monopoly on the use of force. With great power there should also be a great degree of responsibility.
Making an effort in general (in all things: dressing well, speaking well, working hard) is almost completely a social activity. If there's nobody to impress, it's 10x harder to motivate myself. You end up having to imagine a hypothetical future person that your effort would impress, which is much less convincing to the lizard brain.
Ups announces 12,000 job cuts, says package volume slipped last quarter
I would rather we speak humanly, rather than in the intentional obfuscation of language that's ubiquitous in social science to make simple concepts, which are often little more than a researcher's personal biases wrapped in obfuscation, sound 'sciency.' Einstein's paper on special relativity is a zillion times more readable than that 'thing' you linked to which is nothing more than a little survey!

Back to speaking like humans, the thing you are not responding to is expectations vs reality. Participation trophies are near ubiquitous in places like the US, and there's an ongoing attack on merit across a wide array of domains - let alone efforts to recognize and reward it. Were this having the effects you claim, would you not expect to see absolutely skyrocketing sports participation? In reality it's down, in many areas sharply so.
Thats a lot of jobs
They do this on many sites., I noticed it repeatedly in 2023. I've started emailing site owners when they use TrustArc. Is that even legal?
You should eat more junk food ;)

I’ve been to both good and bad McDonalds. Burgers and fries from well-run ones can taste very good. In-n-Out has better consistency, and it’s on par with the quality of well-run McDonalds. It’s probably due to the fact that In-n-out has fewer items? I don’t know.
Agreed it is unsettling.

For what it's worth, there's some peace of mind in that this software is probably tested much more thoroughly than the average piece of Web software or whatever. Version control / security best practices / clean code may be too abstract for these old companies, but testing isn't. You'd hope.
Right, which is were I suspect margins are highest and the area they will need to be successful in to keep shareholders happy each quarter.

Huge fan but I just hope this tech IPO that the LSE has been looking for doesn't turn out to be a total dud.

Guess there will be some AI angle in the investor road shows!
It looks like you’ve made a good start. I tried it now with Japanese, and it worked pretty well. I wish you the best of success.

A few comments:

For Japanese, you might want to offer a choice for the amount of kanji to use in the written transcriptions that appear on the screen. Your current transcripts use the standard orthography, including kanji; some learners might like that, while others, especially beginners, will prefer that everything is in kana or romaji.

Other languages have similar aspects that should be customizable for learners: levels of politeness and formality, dialects and accents, grammatical gender, etc. It will be hard to do that with the current LLMs, but as better models become available it should become possible.

Multimodal LLMs that were trained on audio will be necessary for the tutors to respond to users’ pronunciation and intonation, produce natural backchanneling (an important part of conversation in Japanese and some other languages), etc. Perhaps such models will be available later this year.

Regarding gamification, how about offering choices to your users? Some learners will like gamification and benefit from it, while others don’t need it and will find it annoying.

It’s not clear from the free demo whether the characters one converses with are persistent or not. Especially for intermediate and advanced learners, it will be very valuable if your customers can chat with the same character repeatedly and that the character remembers the content of previous conversations and adapts accordingly. LLM context windows are getting longer, so that should be feasible. (Conversely, you will lose customers if they find that they are having the same conversations again and again or being encouraged to talk about things they aren't interested in.)

Also, you might consider setting up three-way conversations: two bots and the learner. One-on-one conversation practice can be tiring to the learner, and the learner doesn’t get a chance to observe how fluent speakers talk to each other. If the bots sometimes interacted with each other, the learner would both get a break and have a chance to learn by listening to the bots converse.

I have worked in language education for many years, and it seems that I was the first person to post a video to YouTube about using ChatGPT for language learning, on December 5, 2022 [1]. If you might find it useful to discuss ideas with me, feel free to get in touch. The URL of my website is in my profile.

Just a note about this: payment processors/payment networks/banks require some kind of compliance with the chargeback process which is kind of a black-box dispute process, there's no way to know how it will shake out but they do tend to side with the "buyer" for small stuff like this.

That said, there's nothing that says the vendor can't take punitive action. Amazon, for example, has common terms in their agreements that say things like "if you even initiate a chargeback we block you from all of our platforms". Not sure how that would work on X but just an FYI on chargebacks.
Interesting. I'm currently playing a little bit in the instructional space, it's impressive what you can get GPT to do there.

I would absolutely lean into the game aspect as long as it doesn't impact the quality of the tool. People love games and it lets you tie everything into a story, which people also love. For instance, people love stardew valley and it has inspired a bunch of youngsters to become farmers, but what if it actually taught farming?
Make a less divisive or controversial analogy then. If people are getting hung up on the analogy and not focusing on the point you’re making, you’re making a bad analogy.
It wouldn't surprise me that even if the USA has incredible tech in their spy satellites, they use some old archaic system in the backend.
> 10:05am: Wood and VP of Global Government Affairs Prashanthi Raman have virtual meeting with Mayor of SF's transpo advisor. Wood shows full video, "reportedly with internet connectivity issues from his home computer"; neither Wood nor Raman brings up or discusses pullover or dragging

> 10:30am: Virtual meeting with NHTSA. Wood shows full video, "again having internet connectivity issues causing video to freeze and/or black-out in key places including after initial impact" and again not bringing up or discussing pullover or dragging

Convenient “internet connectivity issues” indeed. Looks a lot like students willingly corrupting zip files when sending assignments in order to gain time when they couldn't finish…
I don't think anyone's criticizing or advising against the use of Discord for the things it's adequate for, but rather its proeminence in the webpage, which communicates that you'll have to go to Discord to get more substantial information on the project. Having to talk to people is a source of stress and attrition for introverts. Not everyone needs or wants to have to modulate their language to a different social environment every time they need clarification.
It’s time for a check on reading.

Also, Nietzsche's eternal recurrence, written in 1888, although published much later. While its physical basis is similar, its relevance in his context is on how to evaluate and live your life.
Fascinating thoughts, wish I had more than one upvote to give. You make a great point, this could end up backfiring spectacularly because it may expose how unoriginal a lot of work really is.
For Linux I highly recommend Incus/LXD. Launching a VM is as simple as

```
incus launch images:ubuntu/22.04 --vm my-ubuntu-vm
```

After launching, access a shell with:

```
incus exec my-ubuntu-vm /bin/bash
```

Incus/LXD also works with system containers.
There is a truly wonderful children's book about Erdos, "The Boy Who Loved Math: The Improbable Life of Paul Erdos" by Deborah Heiligman and LeUyen Pham:
https://www.amazon.com/Boy-Who-Loved-Math-Improbable/dp/1596...

I think this book really shines in showing why it makes sense to accept "strange" people (or, that other kid in your kindergarten who seems "strange"). Fills me with warmth every time I happen to page it through.
If you have that itch to build cool stuff, then go for it.

I was in a similar position where i could not stand my accounting job, but loved programming which i had been learning on the side. I quit my job, went to a bootcamp, and it was the best decision i ever made. It's not going to be easy, but if you stick with it it can be extremely rewarding, and not just financially speaking.
> I think people are getting too cared away on things such as "open-source" or "it invades my privacy", or some weird deep hatred for Microsoft aspect, when most people don't care with that. It's not even a parameter for them to judge if a browser is bad or not, because they simply do not care. So you have to see the situation through the average people's eyes.

That is... an odd take?

While it's true that society, as a whole, don't care much about, and I cannot stress this enough, many things, outside whatever may have some direct effect on everyday everyone's lives, someone needs to do the job of informing them about why something is actually more important than they may think.

Thus, Edge users who are fine with the software, for a variety of reasons, may not understand why the browser is better or worse than the competition, if they choose to ignore the facts about it, regardless of it being open source or not.

I think privacy is a big one. Perhaps I wouldn't choose Chrome over Edge, but I would absolutely not choose Edge over pretty much anything else. Privacy violations do have a larger effect on people lives than they may think, and they choosing Edge just because they can have vertical tabs, is a bit like choosing to smoke because it "calms the nerves".
That’s interesting, I have no idea where I’d even find cask ale in the US. Been drinking beer enthusiastically for years and never heard of it.
Your comment makes me think of taoism's wu wei. Sometimes the best thing to do is nothing. And when you do do nothing, you'll look like a lazy person for sure.
> I agreed with him it's possible but I didn't see the problem and he didn't see why I didn't give a crap.

Your assertion may be more placating than you advertise. This surveillance is asymmetrical and it may be that you don't object to that.

Restated: Truly unavoidably collected surveillance data should be visible to the public, who could then use it to provide meaningful oversight of governments and other powerful entities. This provides symmetry that is ethical, moral and healthy to society.

Strongly asymmetric surveillance is none of those. It gifts power that will eventually be used for authoritarian ends. I recommend not acquiescing to surveillance that is unethical, amoral and unhealthy to society.
It has a 90s feel that I appreciate.
I looked this up in a database after being credited on a paper: a co-author Li Zhang has an Erdos number of 2, which puts me at 3.

If you count video games, I have a Bacon number of 3 because I was credited on Tiger Woods 2003-2005 with an artist named Sylvain Doreau, who is credited on Shrek. John Lithgow was in Shrek and in Footloose with Kevin Bacon.

So that gives 3+3 = 6. If only it were worth anything in real life :)
I agree - I predict an awful lot of rent-seekers in this space that promise to make things more efficient/easier in the HC space - but really just end up adding additional costs that the founders can skim off the top without providing any real value to patients of providers.
It is a much more appealing form factor to me than AVP though. I don't want to work at home with huge goggles strapped to my face. I don't want to video call with people floating in space who presumably can't see me and if they can I look ridiculous. I don't expect it to last/take off if it stays similar to how it is, personally.

But normal looking glasses with a sort of information overlay is much more interesting; especially now I have a prescription anyway.
> Although, as noted above, the instructions for the narrative section of the SGO report require submitters to “[p]rovide a written description of the pre-crash, crash, and post-crash details,” some Cruise interviewees expressed their belief that the requirements were narrower. In their view, the narrative called for a description of the collision itself, and thus did not include post-collision actions like the pullover maneuver and pedestrian dragging.

>my liberty ends where your liberty starts.

>i don't drive and the liberty i get from not having a car that i have to park somewhere is huge. better public transport would increase my liberty to move around even further. so this would not reduce my individual agency, but it would increase it.

To your point, who cares about the justification to your liberties? I drive. Yours end where mine start.
A larger part is the epoxy, e.g., plastic. It being a composite would actually make it worse than just plastic under cyclic heating, because the epoxy and carbon fiber have different coefficients of thermal expansion.

Nationalizing inner city land would likely have many unintended consequences. I could see it resulting in migration of people and businesses away from the nationalized area only to regroup at a new center that wasn't restricted by direct governmental control. Reasons for that that spring to mind are that planning permissions would certainly be a nightmare, difficult to obtain and extremely slow. If there was a hard quota of apartments vs commercial space it could create a bad situation for businesses and drive them away. The types of residential units may not meet the demand which could drive segments of the population to seek housing elsewhere even if the costs were higher. Poor design decisions for the units constructed could produce areas conducive to crime or just make it unattractive or inconvenient.

There's a long history of national building projects in many countries that have created problems like these.
Unwelcoming stereotypes and labels were not called for. Arguments were called for, which you give 0.
I think it is a good reminder that with these services you can design your own usage around making it easy to switch providers. With maps it was a rude awakening, but there were so many other providers by the time they did the rug pull that at least there were places you could go. The ride might not last forever but you can take the API savings now while building and testing backup sources.
Your "anonymized" cell phone GPS data can be used pretty easily to determine when you're not home for purposes of burglary.

Your household size and firearm preferences data can tell a rapist how easy of a target you will be.

Your genetic information can be used by insurance companies to secretly deny you coverage for pre-existing conditions, even though this is illegal.

Your genetic information could also cause you to be targeted by racists.

Your sexual preferences could be used against you as blackmail if the government or cultural moment shifts away from tolerance and they become unacceptable.

Your purchasing habits could cause you to become a prime suspect for a terrorist who used those same items in your area for a recent attack, like if your wife was buying a pressure cooker while you were buying backpacks for your kids doing back to school shopping.

I know a lot of these sound crazy, but consider this: the fact that they sound so crazy would itself make you sound less believable to others if anyone ever did victimize you any of these ways, furthering their odds of being able to perform that successfully without repercussions.
I'm currently typing this on an i7-1165G7 running windows 11, with a few background tabs in edge, teams and outlook. CPU usage as reported by task manager seems to hover around 7-10%. CPU clock hovers around 2.2 GHz with regular peaks above 3 GHz.

Is that idle? Not sure I could get this box at any lower use than this, even though I understand this is different from having all cores pegged at 100%.

Don't do bootcamp. Start with something like https://freecodecamp.org and take a few lessons. Try to build something from that and see how motivated you are. If you see some progress and this thing still excites you, then may be find an engineer (a friend/co worker etc) who can guide you a bit as you continue to build something. Start small and stay away from bootcamps (my 2 cents).

Happy to help more with advice/ideas if you want to reach out.
