I have to wonder how large the advantage may be if even present at all. Excluding any residual mobility issues from the surgery there’s still all the other aspects of leg kicks he has to deal with like the brutal pain a leg kick causes. I don’t know, I think that might just be people min maxing a little too much.

You have to prove that the benefits is worth the potential harm.
Vaccines are known to be harmful to very few persons, yet we vaccine because the benefits outweigh the very small potential of harm.
Yes and no. There's a non-local-control aspect to exceptions that's a bit different from explicit return or ? in that it's explicit in the text of the program rather than in the signature of the method. But yes, the compiler will stop you in either case, so that's fine.

But there's no guarantee that someone under you didn't go and pull out a RuntimeException on you.

I've lubricated many keyholes in my 39 years on this planet and never spent more time than going "I need graphite lube, I have graphite lube. I will squirt graphite lube into key hole. I will come back in 3 years and squirt graphite lube in key hole again." I guess at one point 20 years ago I went "how do I lube a lock? oh cool, graphite lube." Then the rest.

You would have an aneuryism if you saw how often touchball mouse owners lubed their mice. Probably daily. I literally keep a little graphite lube tube on my desk.

Graphite lube is not a rare or uncommon household lubricant. I could've also used dielectric grease or silicon lube potentially.

All 3 of which I have in my garage and I'm in my 30s. And I rent. An apartment. Downtown.
I don't think it's remotely inevitable. I think that's an outrageous mindset.

Think of it like an engineer. We try to test products before deploying them to production (e.g. make all of humanity ingest it). If our tests are wrong some significant portion of the time, or if being wrong is much more damaging than we realized, then absolutely it's time to start the conversation of "How do we get better test coverage?"

I bet if you put some paltry amount of money, say 100B (compare this to a bailout) into devising tests around the long-term safety of various chemicals some creative solutions would come up. For example, off the top of my head, if reproductive health is a concern, perhaps do a study where some animal that reproduces frequently is exposed to it for 10+ generations. We can validate if this is a viable way of testing by taking some known endocrine-disruptors and validating this test catches them effectively.

For whatever reason, some people don't seem to see engineering chemicals that are safe for humanity to be a worthy enterprise, but I think it's as important as any tech company and we should make the financial incentives to reflect that and get the right minds on this problem.
I think they meant more about being beholden to Youtube's current implementation.
It would also make client-side verification easier. You could statically analyze code for safety before running it. You could optimize it much further for your platform. Safe mashups might be easier. Quite a few benefits to this.

One more is that, if you used an Oberon-based OS (eg A2 Bluebottle), the system and browser languages were the same. No need to learn separate languages. Integration will be smoother, too.
Meta's $200B Surge Is Biggest in Stock-Market History
Why would you eliminate someone for using LLMs?

Assuming Lycosing is allowed as well as browsing Experts Exchange... LLMs are new search engines.
Interesting service. I think it would benefit from further improvement. Many stories are actually dupes, self-promotion, etc… It would be nice to see a much smaller list of stories that were actually censored by the moderators or self-censored by the community.

How to do this? One idea is to write an appropriate prompt for GPT-4. Something along the lines of “if you were HN moderator or HN community, would you censor this story? Please give numerical score.” Then post a much smaller list with top scores. That would be useful I think.

I saw a theory on Reddit that you could safely use a tool like this by disconnecting from your internet before entering the information, then reconnecting after saving the QR code and having deleted it (thereby theoretically preventing your information from ever being sent to the website).

That sounds plausible, and the tool does seem to work while offline, but I don't have the expertise to confidently state that this would 100% protect you. Anyone want to chime in with how hard this would make it for them to harvest your data (if they wanted to, which I'm inclined to believe they don't, but just in terms of best practices)?
Thanks for the feedback. Noted

"This is going to free up a ton of IPv4 addresses, reducing the need for AWS to purchase new ranges."

Yup, this has been obvious for a while if you read the better economic analyses. Charging for IPv4 doesn't on its own remove it. It creates some sort of economic balance between the value and scarcity of the IPv4 address space.

When you're trying to fit the entire world of 7 billion people into 4 billion addresses, the space looks pretty scarce. But assuming a roughly power law distribution of services and their importance of being on IPv4, as you cut off the people with lower-end needs, like, "my cell phone needs to communicate on the internet so let's give it an IPv4 address", you extremely rapidly cut through orders of magnitude of the old uses.

That long tail of "Facebook is not willing to cut off even .01% of its user base so it has IPv4 addresses to serve on" may take a long time to get through, but we're well through getting huge swathes of the other users off of it.

What kills IPv4 is in the far future when the expense of maintaining it specially exceeds the benefits. Since maintaining it is rather cheap, this is going to take a while. But as IPv4 diminishes in importance, ironically, so does the value of entirely eliminating it. When it is 1% of the traffic, who will really be desperate to drop that to zero?
I think that depends if your workflow is oriented around the keyboard or the mouse. For me it is keyboard oriented and I frequently use (Ctrl)+Shift+Arrows for finegrained selection anyways so Ctrl+C/V is most convenient. I also use Vimium in my browser. If my workflow was mouse oriented I'd instead use Gesturefy.

I think they're equivalent and certainly both are better than using the right-click menu.
>Do these articles by journalists actually educate the public on the facts or are they profit driven clickbait to push a preconceived narrative?

Both can be true. I, for one, don't often peruse online sources to look for recalls, but am more likely alerted to them by news articles or mail. If a discerning public can parse the usefulness from the narrative, then it can still be a net positive.
Is this the same Google that pours millions of dollars into its Project Zero securi-tainment blog where they specifically use hamfisted disclosure policies to discredit competing products?

Oh, well color me shocked!
Using the proper definitions of the words is now considered a move meant to drive clicks. Very interesting take.
The problem with these generic non-fitted ones I heard is it can really hurt your teeth (possibly even negatively impact them over prolonged use).

Tesla owners will receive information (as required by law) about the issue and resolution. I am sorry that your mom decides to spread misinformation about articles that she did not read. That doesn't sound like an issue that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration should take into account.
Can you elaborate on the hell you get put through when SWATting happens?

My understanding was that SWATting means someone calls the police and says that you have a bomb in your house or something to that effect. I imagine that the SWAT team breaks down your door and arrest you and everyone else in the household.

Soon enough, they must realize that you are all good, right? SWATting is common enough that they must be aware of it and take it into account. If they started arresting and prosecuting people who were victims of SWATting, there would be big court cases against the police.

To clarify, I am not trying to underplay what you went through. I just want to understand what you went through that made you describe it as "hell".

> For some reason they're polarizing among electricians in the US

They’re 8x more expensive and take longer to install than a wire nut, and they take up more space inside the device box. They’re also difficult to unterminate without damaging the lever nut or conductor.

It’s not hard to splice #14 solid to #18 stranded with a wire nut, you just extend the smaller wire a bit beyond the end of the larger wire and twist.

I’d recommend wago lever nuts to homeowners doing their own electrical work because homeowners are terrible at electrical work and the less chances for electrical fires, the better.

I’m a commercial electrical project manager in the US.

Omg, they forced Tesla. Presumably they also forced all other manufacturers to make the text the right size, whether they shipped that incorrectly or not. I don't think anyone had a choice.
> lots of people flag stories based on their experience of what the threads are like

IMHO story submissions should be judged based upon their own merits. Toxic commenters can be downvoted/banned but the story submitter shouldn't be punished for the misbehavior of others.

> I didn't flag (or see) that story, but I would have.

You mean purely based on the expected awfulness of imagined future comments, instead of the actual comments? If so, with a precrime mindset like that, you're fanning the flames of controversy.
> The Palestinians don't even want to live in a liberal democracy and definitely not in a binational liberal democracy with Jews

This is a pretty racist and generalizing comment to make. Talking about Palestinians like this is not helping your cause.
Is there any good alternative to Upwork for remote work? The last few weeks all I am getting interest from is sophisticated scammers trying to get work for free. The tricky thing is that these people still have good ratings on the site.

My last two projects were only two weeks ago. But at this point I am only a couple of weeks away from having to either beg my family for money or shelter or just becoming homeless which I would almost prefer in a way because I have never asked them for anything and really don't want to start.

If anyone has work, I have lowered my rate again from where it was before because I'm pretty scared. https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/jasonlivesay

I did post in the who wants to be hired yesterday but no response.
They are using the very factual and context appropriate term that the agency responsible for issuing these orders is using.

The reason for this is that the OTA update is a _convenience_. If the OTA update fails or causes other issues Tesla is still required to bring the cars in and fix them as required and cannot attempt to treat related, associated, or casual errors and issues differently.

You're confusing agencies allowing this to happen as a luxury instead of understanding the teeth behind the policy.

I don’t feel a difference, and in some ways I feel worse, such as when there is a slight leak which leads to my tank running dry. If I don’t use the machine then sometimes in the middle of the afternoon I think about just laying down on the floor wherever I am. I never feel great after using the machine though, and I’ve looked at the log data and it is working. The only reason I keep using the machine is that my spouse gets better sleep.
Remember that most startups don't have a "single founder" and the founder who becomes the "face" of the startup if it goes big is not necessary the only contributor to the success.

Older partners may have less time to dedicate to the startup, or have other reasons to hold back.

It may also indicate that a percentage of startup success is attributable to networking effects, which mostly grow with age.

I think the biggest thing to start a successful business is to not start a startup.
Yes. And to paraphrase Lee Drutman's take in Breaking the Two-Party Doom Loop: far-right parties in the EU tend to get about 10% of the vote. And in a way that's bad (they get seats in parliament!). But in another way, it's good: they can't claim to be "the voice of the masses" when only 1 in 10 people votes for them.

For leanpub, I started using it for the layout. And kept using it for the marketing.

That's one thing I learned, having written a couple of books. Even though writing is tough, it is easier in many wyas than the marketing.
Why would this make sense?
We've had a century or so of "vehicle recall" meaning a hardware problem. And there is no precedent in the software industry for calling OTA updates "recalls" rather than "updates." I, frankly, dislike Musk and Tesla. But this reeks of yellow journalism. Calling this something like a "[critical|federally-mandated|regulatory] safety update" would better describe what's happening to consumers, and also prevent them from taking future hardware recalls less seriously.

If the NHTSA simply chose and adopted such a term officially, the US's existing executive structures like the FCC and FTC, and/or libel/defamation court cases, could solve this problem. As it stands, not differentiating and calling everything a "recall" really makes the NHTSA seem to be "in the way" rather than "making things safer," at least to me, so the agency stands to benefit by making such a choice as well as consumers and the industry.

Even though I’ve never regularly listened to JRE, I’m glad this deal let’s episodes be posted to YouTube. I don’t really log into many accounts, and that’s been the big thing preventing me from touching Spotify in years.
Admittedly, I’m a bit surprised that Spotify was willing to make this deal without exclusivity rights. Joe Rogan has a big enough pull that there’s pretty much a guaranteed audience that’ll be brought over. The only reason for distributing the show broadly would be for larger exposure, but JRE is already insanely popular; it’s not like they're dealing with something new here.
Overall, I think it’s a good deal for the listeners, just doesn’t make much sense on Spotify’s end.
If candidates are using LLMs to generate answers to your hiring questions, perhaps it's your questions that are the problem. Care to share some of them?
You are right. People seem to think a recall means “taking it in to get fixed”.

But, a recall actually means the product has a dangerous defect that requires the manufacturer to promptly fix it for free otherwise the vehicle must be removed from the road.

To better explain this we should use the term “dangerous defect” instead of “recall”.

“Teslas contain another dangerous defect - affecting 2.2 million vehicles” does sound more accurate.
For those who don't have the weird systemd allergy, systemd has many great features, including random scheduling, see `RandomizedDelaySec`.
Show HN: Knowledge Sharing Protocol via semantic lookup with use in LLMs
A great way to enhance chatbots is to allow them to look up information for context, typically using a vectordb.

If you have writings you would like to share with others, you can offer a server that allows others to do semantic lookup, and that way anyone can have a chatbot which can pull from your writing.

The goal of this project is to have a protocol that makes that easy. Strictly speaking, the protocol is for semantic retrieval and doesn't require using LLMs although LLMs are the motivating application.

People use things like LaTeX exactly because of this problem. Word processing software brought the problem of inconsistent formatting and layout within the grasp of everyone and boy! ...did they grab it with both hands. Systems based on plain text allow the author to concentrate on content only, without the need to format.

Personally I find LaTeX misses the mark. Too much markup is needed and it detracts. I'm a fan of asciidoc though. I just wish the templating was a little better though.
There is not a good answer. Markdown is a poor format and there are a number of almost compatible variations. However Markdown in all formats is somewhat limited and so there will be some things you cannot do that if you work on a complex project you will want to work on.

However markdown - if you stick with the subset that everyone supports is the most widely supported alternative. If you go with a specific markdown you lose support for something else you might want. If you go for non-markdown you will lose support for most of the world.

I personally selected restructured text which is really powerful for the complex documentation I'm trying to create. However I keep running into nothing else supports it problems (I can extract doxygen from C++ - but only with tools that don't support the latest. I haven't figured out what to do about Rust documentation)
