You can actually see something similar in the pharmacy market. Pharmacy techs are both very in demand and ironically also often leaving the profession, because many are just tired of the every increasing workloads (perennially short staffed...) and deteriorating conditions.

I was forced to deal with an FBI agent last year. I authenticated him by calling the local FBI office and asking the person who answered to authenticate the agent. I got the number of the FBI office off way back machine.
I did not make a value judgement either; just wanted to point that in the end of the day it is all about searching images in stock websites in one way or another.
Ideally yes, but the liabilities are likely too great at this time. So better start with the "hopeless", where no harm can be done, then go up from there.
That is pretty brilliant :-)
Those laws are frequently overturned as unconstitutional, but may still remain on the books because we don't do a good job of clearing out laws that were ruled unconstitutional.

As a general rule of thumb, almost every time someone brings an edge case about whether or not speech is First Amendment-privileged before SCOTUS, SCOTUS rules in favor of the speech. (The main exception is speech of students in school.) SCOTUS hasn't specifically ruled on anti-mask laws to my knowledge, but I strongly doubt it would uphold those laws.

Most teams are scattered across the world, and in the US they are all over the place. It's just another "Resource Action" targeted at older workers disguised as some kind of great idea to be more productive.

As I understand it, the formant is the difference between the interval from the harmonic series, and the interval using whatever temperment you're in. Piano-notes are in equal temperment. String players, and some wind instruments allow you to play the "in-between" notes selectively (like a true major third, unlike the horrid thing a equal temperment produces) giving you a powerful emotional tool
Isn't the point that when comparing multiple explanations of a phenomenon one applies Occams razor to pick the "best" one?

In this case we don't have any explanations to compare yet, just suggestive lines of research. So it's premature to bring out the razor.
Once the tech economy improves, I see there being large employment shifts by those who prefer remote work. Times change, and instead of fighting change, employers should learn how to embrace it.
True, because with such decision the question is not whether it's possible to implement, but whether it's a good decision to do it.

>Iatrogenic Alzheimer’s disease in recipients of cadaveric pituitary-derived growth hormone

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-023-02729-2

Abstract

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized pathologically by amyloid-beta (Aβ) deposition in brain parenchyma and blood vessels (as cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA)) and by neurofibrillary tangles of hyperphosphorylated tau. Compelling genetic and biomarker evidence supports Aβ as the root cause of AD. We previously reported human transmission of Aβ pathology and CAA in relatively young adults who had died of iatrogenic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (iCJD) after childhood treatment with cadaver-derived pituitary growth hormone (c-hGH) contaminated with both CJD prions and Aβ seeds. This raised the possibility that c-hGH recipients who did not die from iCJD may eventually develop AD. Here we describe recipients who developed dementia and biomarker changes within the phenotypic spectrum of AD, suggesting that AD, like CJD, has environmentally acquired (iatrogenic) forms as well as late-onset sporadic and early-onset inherited forms. Although iatrogenic AD may be rare, and there is no suggestion that Aβ can be transmitted between individuals in activities of daily life, its recognition emphasizes the need to review measures to prevent accidental transmissions via other medical and surgical procedures. As propagating Aβ assemblies may exhibit structural diversity akin to conventional prions, it is possible that therapeutic strategies targeting disease-related assemblies may lead to selection of minor components and development of resistance.
I really like Kernel. John Shutt's thesis language. It throws away a bunch of incidental complexity from scheme, most notably the minor disaster of hygienic macros. It follows a minor tangent on cyclic data which I'm not convinced matters very much.

Implementations are a bit DIY.

An interesting play would be to implement rsr7 scheme in kernel, semi-metacircular fashion.

I can't speak for the author, but I do know the reason I personally left it: Haskell-the-language is amazing, Haskell-the-ecosystem is awful.

Like the other commenter I completely agree that knowing Haskell makes you a better programmer, and when I code in other languages I really miss certain parts of it. On the other hand, the entire Haskell ecosystem feels like a half-finished PhD thesis, and often-promoted libraries suffer from fundamental flaws which are "open research questions". There's a constant drive in many Haskellers to make their code as abstract, type-safe, and generic as possible, but unfortunately practicality and ease of use are often forgotten along the way.

It's a great language, but if you're trying to write production code which builds upon the wider ecosystem you're in for a world of pain. In 2024 Rust has probably rifled enough through Haskell's pockets to make it mostly irrelevant as anything but a testbed for programming language researchers.
Games companies seem to struggle to branch out. Like all the employees are put on one game at a time which takes longer to make than ever before. You can't polish a turd - why isn't putting all your eggs in one basket considered a risk? Why aren't these valuable IPs being exercised while we still remember what they are?

I don't buy that it suddenly takes 5 times longer to make a game. Voice acting and mocap FMVs are self-inflicted wounds. There are some genres like 'imsims' and metroidvanias which are so strongly defined by a few beleaguered series that talented indie devs have picked up the slack. Their great challenge is not making a good game, it's making the game be seen. Make a game with a similar team size but using an IP people remember fondly and you've got a hit. At worst, you've wasted a fraction of the budget Rockstar are spending on bespoke concrete textures.

Google AdSense calls these "vignette ads". If you're an AdSense publisher, it's your choice whether to opt-in to this ad format, but Google strongly encourages it by constantly telling you how much money you're missing out on. If you do opt in, it's dead simple to add these page-level ad tags to your site -- simpler than trying to design the ad layout yourself -- so I imagine a lot of publishers opt-in reflexively.

If you opt in, Google gives you a knob to control the ad load, and a way to run A/B experiments, but there's nothing reported in the results of these A/B experiments that lets you make sensible tradeoffs about the quality of your website. The system encourages you to turn the knob all the way up.

Hey! It’s Eric (the author). To the author of this comment, I’d say that the use of “long leash within a narrow fence” (which directed Langmuir’s work) or “circumscribed freedom” (which directed much Bell work) is generally compatible with researcher interests.

As I talk about in the article, Langmuir was able to pick from a bunch of problems in his wheelhouse…there were just conditions. And those conditions meant whatever area he picked might come with a high willingness to spend from GE! And if his work yielded results GE would have a way to quickly deploy the knowledge. All of which is great. To put his work in a box with what the Coolidge-types did is probably unfair. He was following curiosity under constraints, that’s all.

That is not to say all basic research roles in the world should look like that. But it makes sense given most basic researchers don’t fully understand which of all the problems they could happily pursue are actually most useful to industry. MIT professors of the early 1900s used to source research problems somewhat similarly.

Hopefully all of that helps a bit!
Show HN: Oasis, the community tech collective building an advocacy flywheel
Hey everyone, I wanted to share the project I recently launched called Oasis, which is a community-driven tech collective with the focus of driving social advocacy by creating a self-sustaining flywheel of open-core projects that feeds into our various social advocacy initiatives. The governance is set up much like Open AI, where Oasis is the non-profit that handles the social advocacy and acts as an umbrella for the various OSS projects, and we have a collective structure of contribution with shared ownership so everyone who is working on a project, while it being OSS, gets to share in the financial success.

We're 100% community driven, and anyone can join the Slack workspace now and contribute to any of the repos, but to actually be an "owner" we do require a $200/yr membership fee to help offset operational costs of adding users. All the projects we work on are thoroughly researched for profit potential and technology stack, and currently the angle we've been focusing on a lot of finding closed-source software and essentially ripping their features out into open-core versions. Tangentially, if you have a software you'd love to see a open-core version of then add a comment in here for sure. We're mainly been playing with simple CRUD apps but should the collective grow there's potential for other types of projects.

I think it should just be opt-out. A parent can opt-out without any stated reason, easily, and overrule the law.

So kids get a social media "license," maybe.
Do you mean that the prompts would be completely dynamic in your tool vs the prebuilt prompts with templating that Langchain uses?

> saving $50 up front and then losing $500 over the life of the printer

Ha! Ha! Ha! Whew, that’s a good one. Let me catch my breath.

I once had a mid range HP inkjet. Think it cost about $200. Only printed a few times a year. It would go through 3-4 ink cartridges per year, with me printing almost nothing. Ink was cheap, about $30. Pretty much needed a new ink cartridge every time I printed. Was a networked printer, didn’t even see the computer reboot, etc.

That damn thing easily cost over $100/year doing nothing.

Would have lasted forever if I hadn’t thrown it away in mint condition.

Eventually got a laser printer…

Toner is expensive, but it at least doesn’t evaporate! (I lowered calibration frequency settings too)

those tissues are unlikely to carry prions. prions are concentrated in the brain.
I often draw the parallel with cigarettes and alcohol. Kids need to produce an ID to purchase them. Sure they can fake it, but then they are breaking the law, and that still raises the barrier.

But that's likely not enough. In addition, there should be public health campaigns to warn against the risks.

Cigarette use has plummeted since the 90's, so something must be working.
My thoughts exactly!

This is basically the definition of Racketeering!
I agree with this that they are better, but actually before the expensive roomba I had a cheap roomba and it worked terribly. Insisted on shoving itself right under the perfect height furniture. My house is pretty basic. But my brother had similar roomba and I know he had better luck than me, but now has a shark.
It is the former! Will update the wording ASAP to make it more clear!

Understood and apologies for misunderstanding.

Every single founder I know (and I know a lot of them) doesn't build a business for the specific reason to be acquired. Is it a thought that crosses their mind? Definitely. Is it something investors think about? Absolutely.

But the day-to-day, 12 hour+ grind for them is all about product-market fit and drawing revenue - the things that make a durable business.

I think the point is that reserve is not huge, because appeal is not that strong for those who are already in the US, hence navy drops requirements standards.

I believe others have definitely reached out to the owner previously just for help with the performance/reliability problems. Not 100% sure on whether they've offered to buy the site or not. Either way everything I've heard is the owner either isn't responsive at all or very much doesn't have the desire to dig into any of the issues.

My guess is also probably the passive income side being the priority, especially since they've definitely increased the ads at least since I first joined the forum about a decade ago.

Thanks for the input. It's appreciated. Unfortunately as you can probably understand it's a relatively simple but complicated problem.
I remember in 2020 election markets, from ~mid 2019 onward you could take whether hillary clinton would run in 2020. It was a funny market until she started missing filing deadlines and something weird happened - the line became MORE favorable towards hillary running. It went on like that for quite a long time, well past the point where anyone with a room temp IQ would figure out she had zero chance of running because she wasnt running.

Even up to about a week before the actual 2020 election, she was still trading at almost 10 cents on the dollar for “yes she is running.” Just wild. I don’t think it’s a problem for these markets, just the nature of the beast being that people easily believe conspiracy theories and propaganda and if you’re a gambler there’s a lot of money to make.

I get that in theory… and it makes sense most of the time. I’m not sure it does this time though. You don’t exactly “target” Oxide as an OS or platform. Rather, you use it to run VMs on. Those VMs are whatever you want. Other than that, I’m not sure what else having a home-lab version of Oxide would look like.

I wonder how much of the potential connectivity problems the brain would just figure out on its own. Human brains are incredibly adaptable. If a sense is lost then that brain area gets used for other activities. If a nerve is damage for an important process then the brain does figure out a way to send the signal through other pathways.
In general I'm not interested in analytics/OLAP, but in more OLTP type workloads, so the Arrow stuff and that whole world is of not much interest to me.
I couldn't agree more. When I'm in the air, I am much more comfortable knowing that the initial barrier to air traffic control training is to ask how many sports a candidate claimed to have played in high school rather than an 8-hour long cognitive ability test.

Tragic story
Go read the thread that claims to be a whistleblower inside Boeing (over here: https://www.airlinepilotforums.com/safety/146074-boeing-inte... ). The claim is that the door plug was removed to repair a seal that was damaged while reworking rivets that failed inspection, but the door wasn't reinspected as it should have been. It's a pretty damning claim that will be a huge liability for Boeing as the FAA investigates the electronic chatter on internal systems about the plane that failed.

The big question is how many more time-bombs like this are going to be found lurking inside of Boeing's SAT system.
