I would like to use linux but every system I have ever installed it on, it eventually breaks. Then I have to spend several hours searching through forums trying to find the correct command line prompts to fix it.

This is even using the supposedly "reliable" distros like Ubuntu and Mint.

At this point when a linux user says they never have an issue I just can't believe them. I don't do anything complex, but linux always eventually fails in some way. I have above average knowledge of computers, and still linux cannot work reliably for me. It will never go mainstream until it can work without breaking, and never touching the terminal for 10+ years like MacOS can.

As an example, look at the "Switched to linux challenge" Linus Tech Tips did a couple years ago, he tried to install steam and it broke his entire OS. I have never installed anything on Windows or MacOS that has broken my OS. If you want regular users to use linux, things like that should not be possible.
Oh - I thought this was for using USB devices on the ADB Mac, not the other way around.

There are options for using modern USB devices on ADB as well, such as the ADBuino (https://github.com/akuker/adbuino) and my fork called HIDHopper (https://github.com/TechByAndroda/HIDHopper_ADB).
Eh, Edge is part of the operating system and can't be removed :)

Tbh it's the same thing Apple would say about Safari, except they haven't tried to hijack my firefox tabs yet.
How well known you are to the bank matters. My grandfather was a builder and if he didn't have his checkbook on him, he would pay a subcontractor via a check written on whatever piece of scrap wood was around. The local bank had no problem with depositing it because he'd done it many times before and he had a good reputation in town.

Many of the rules and regulations have come about because writing checks became a non-local thing. You'd send off a check to pay for a magazine subscription and it'd get processed somewhere far away, like South Dakota. They don't know who you are, so like the article said - writing a check became an extension of credit, and the writer needed some verification as to their creditworthiness.
I think in this setting (WFH) blue collar job also means hospital jobs, restaurant, r&d lab workers, teachers, sales etc, i.e. any kind of job where one cannot physically work from home.
Philosophically the question is not much different than “do we only exist in the mind of a deity”. It’s impossible to determine (since any search for “proof” would rely on assumptions about this external reality that are impossible to demonstrate), has no impact on our reality, mostly makes for some amusing procrastination.

Tell HN: Ambi Climate is closing down. Now I have 5 worthless units
Ambi Climate made a nifty system for remote controlling heat pumps.

Now the company is shutting down and I have
5 remote control devices that will become worthless since they require connecting to their cloud services to be able to change the temperature on my unit.

This is highly frustrating.

The units work well.

This has made me much more aware of all the different
products I buy that are entirely worthless if the
"service / hosting" company shuts down.

I will try to make an effort to buy "non cloud" devices
but it seems like a challenge.

I wish Ambi Climate would release a version of the app
that allows only temperature adjustment and on/ff.
> Their model of letting people quickly band and disband on projects seems so much more natural to me in the times of remote work.

For certain tasks, sure. But every position I've held required gathering quite a bit of context before I was able to really be effective. It's not just the tech stack and existing systems, either: it's learning the business to a level where I can better know that I'm meeting the actual business need (rather than just the text on the JIRA ticket).
> Salaries for blue collar jobs will go up and for white collar jobs down.

Not really, because there's a lock-in due to job specialization.
If the job you're proficient at requires you on the line, you won't see a dime more for being there, because there's no alternative.

Which means, if any raise happens, it will go to lines of work where remote is an option - white collars jobs mostly.
It’s like saying we should ban cigarette paper to stop smoking. Stop shady data collection and create modern day privacy laws.
It is interesting to me how their stated goals and planned future trajectory sounds like what happend to 'deCODE genetics' an Icelandic genetics company founded back in 1996 with a focus of "developing novel methods to identity, treat and prevent diseases"[0].

They really were on the forefront at that time, and have been an research powerhouse ever since[1] , but struggled for some time to find a sustainable revenue stream for their discoveries. Shortly after the turn of the millenium they came out with DNA diagnostic kits, that were able to diagnose various things known or thought to increase likelihood of various illnesses and conditions. And this product even came onto the market before 23andme.

But since 2012 (I think) they have been an independent research subsidiary of the US pharmaceutical company Amgen, where Amgen then can capitalize on the research output to make the drugs in question (and probably much more that we are not privy to).

No, too many parks is just as bad as too many parking lots, for the same reason: they force the city to sprawl. A few parks are good - and the exact amount is debatable, but the proposal to turn all parking lots into parks will create too many parks.

Everyone should have a park close to where they live. A place where kids can play and families can picnic is important to a good family life. A park is a good place for art, but it only needs to be accessible by transit as most people won't make regular visits. Many people enjoy playing volleyball, softball, or other sports, but they tend to want to play different teams so while a city should have this it should be accessible by transit but not close to everyone. There are a few variations on the above theme that I didn't mention. Once those uses are covered a city should not build more parks, instead the city needs more of the other things that make a city: places to live, work, shop, and be entertained.

Japan is insane on the paperwork front. The amount of stuff my wife has to deal with (because my Japanese is frankly terrible) for basic processes is mind numbing. Things like having to write out your address and contact info on five different forms for one appointment, visiting multiple offices to submit paperwork in for the same process, etc.. Moving apartments (heaven forbid it is to a different city government) involves weeks of straight up administrative work from one person in the household.
> What's the point of educating people and equipping them with everything they need to be successful in the US, advance the US (including creating lots of jobs) and then deporting them right after?

Making money for the schools where they go? Foreign student, studying in the US, come here on an F visa, and to obtain such a visa one has to prove that he or she has such strong ties to the home country that they cannot possibly stay in the US after graduation and need to quickly come back and use the education at home.
A friend who does clerical work and makes less than half of my programmer wage is getting forced into office by a boss who reads trash like this.

After the dust settles from this I bet there will be studies showing lower wage workers were forced into the office just as much if not more than higher paid counter parts.

While she’s fighting to stay remote my job has absolutely no risk of that, same with my coworkers companies we work with.

I would argue that doing time arithmetic by modifying components of a date individually is wrong in any language.

I know that at least in AI/ML there are reproducibility challenges, I even had a course during my masters where we had to reproduce a paper. Not perfect, but some disciplines try to address that. AI/ML has a nice feature of publishing almost only in open conferences/journals, there are not that many closed publishing venues in this field.
I just today installed windows in a virtual machine because I have an interview in the next few days, and ms teams is the schroedinger video call, dear satan are these people bad, from the inability to use it without a ms account because it doesn’t give the button to skip, but how much upselling of onedrive, office, edge, migration of data etc, just let me use the os and stfu
I think maybe you are confusing SQL's view of the model with the underlying mathematical Relational Model? A Table is a superset of a Relation. As Date mentions in the interview you can have QBE/ISBL be a better mapping to the underlying mathematical model.

This reflects my experience. Sometimes I'll provide a single sentence (to GPT-4 with the largest context window) and it will slowly type out 3 or so words every 5 seconds, and in other cases I'll give it a massive prompts and it returns data extremely fast. This is also true of smaller context window models. There seems to be no way to predict the performance.
Its not clear to me that big data would be as prevelant as it is today in absense of a buyer of last resort (the government).

So you’re aware of this Intel TDP chicanery but trying to say with a straight face that these chips achieve similar performance and efficiency to the M1. I think that’s pretty disingenuous.
In the US, it's possible to become overdrawn even if you wait for a check to clear. Assuming there is a check "writer" and a check "casher"

- A portion of the check is made available to the casher (said to be "cleared", but not really) before the writer's bank even responds

- After the writer's bank has cleared the check, it can still reverse the transaction and take back the funds. For example, if the check is found to be fraudulent.

So, for example, you can deposit a check into your account, wait a month to be sure it's cleared, take the money out, and then have the money "taken back"; leaving your account in the negative. As such, even for accounts that don't have any "line of credit", the bank still winds up "lending you money". Effectively, EVERY bank account in the US has credit built into it in some way.
thanks for all this great information!

No that means you can't create a CI/CD competitor that's 'hosted' in Actions. (e.g. Install OJFordCI GitHub app, pay at ojfordci.com/sign-up, view your CI results at ojfordci.com, but actually also at github.com in the Actions tab on your repo.)

They absolutely support custom runners, it's how all these work, they don't need to stop them via ToS, they can just not allow it as an option. `runs-on: ubicloud` only works because GitHub implements it right.
I'm pretty sure the answer there is "no".

I've heard of a couple of methods that are almost purely computational:

Measure the randomness of something like radioactive decay, try to figure out the PRNG used in the simulation.

Measure all those very basic constants of the universe to a large number of decimal points. See if they indicate register size of the simulator.
Is this supposed to make remoters feel guilty?

Go away...

If corporate wanted to reduce the desire for remote - they would have smaller satellite campuses outside the great automobile slums of America.

The wealthy don't care about efficiency, they aren't being rational about this.

They go into the office - see an empty building and say "this is wrong".

But they put the cart before the horse - they should say "why is my company operating just fine without office space?" - that should say something about how horrible open offices are for productivity.

The intangibles that come with in-office work could be addressed by augmented reality meetings (a headset costs a lot less than a year of gasoline).

The ONLY problem I see that isn't addressed with remote work is junior development. This again could be addressed by much smaller campuses and augmented reality.

Is there any proof that the universe is bigger than what I experience right now?

For example: My eyes can focus on this word on my screen: "Hello".

I don't know how many bits of information this word contains. I can see the shape of the four chars quite clearly. Maybe that is 100 bits of information or so?

So I would say the universe probably is at least 100 bits large.

Is there any proof that it is larger?

Is there any way it could be smaller?
In 1924 the President of the United States’s son died. A man with access to the best medicine and doctors of the time during an insdustrialized age was not able to save his 16 year old son. He died from a bacterial infection…on his toe…that he got from playing on the White House lawn barefoot. In 1924 they were not able to save him from such a “simple” ailment. We underestimate the advancements in modern medicine and how easy it was to die historically. You could be the fittest, strongest vegetarian in 300BC and bad piece of bread could end you. Correlating meat consumption with life expectancy is just foolish.

I mean, presumably there are different types of DNA testing. Doesn't 23andme run basically the cheapest test they can get away with? A user can't tell if the test measured 16 bytes or 1.6 gigabytes of genetic information, and if I was trying to launch a consumer DNA geneology service, I'd want to get network effects, so I'd want a test that was very easily affordable.

Who says their records are thorough enough to be valuable to drug companies?
I agree. The market's fine.

I've observed this in multiple AI niches. In some cases I've emailed people saying they ignored very similar work and failed to cite it, and in at least some cases, they were apologetic and said they would update the arXiv version. Although of those times, they do that 50% of the time. Kind of tells you that the reviewers at top AI conferences themselves aren't that familiar with the breadth of the literature.
Right, so just to help clear that up: the fourth amendment is written on paper, it doesnt protect anything, the bill of rights only acknowledges that you have rights that supersede government authority.
Does fermion doubling make the universe not a computer?
>You think it's much different for quaternions

It feels like it should be. Maybe the following is just the naivety of a novice looking at experts they don't understand.

Learning numbers, integers, rationals, and real numbers, introduced so much power with each step, to the point that every child is expected to know the basics about real numbers. Maybe not what they are theoretically, but the basic ability to do something like .5 * pi or root(2)^4. They likely never dig any deeper, most don't really get the idea of never ending never repeating decimals, but they are able to work with them on a simple level. For most fields, an introduction only requires this level of math.

When one does move to the complex numbers, it opens up far more possibilities. Fourier transform is everywhere, to the extent many use it without having the math to understand how it does what it does. More complex problems, and I mean outside of the field of math, only have general solutions if you allow for complex numbers to be used. These are difficult, mapping from C to C requires 4D to represent and thus are much harder to visualize, but people still struggle through it.

When I realized that complex numbers weren't the end, but the second step in a tower of infinite height, I wondered what otherwise unsolvable problems needed higher levels from that, just like how many problems needed complex numbers. The difficulty working with them grows, though somewhat given C to C is already 4D, we have already reached the limit of 3D viewing power.

Yet they are rarely used, and higher levels used even less. Maybe there is something fundamental that makes them less useful, far weaker than complex numbers. But from a viewpoint of a novice, I find that surprising.
It definitely seems like there are some bad policy going on here. I would recommend lobbying to have it changed – None of these things can happen in EU countries, so it is not technically given that it has to work like that.
Soulsbornes are a great reason to keep a playstation around if you ask me. They may be porting their games to Windows these days, but their "DNA" is in console gaming and it shows.

Not sure where that's coming from? The released parts are mobile chips, and the fastest is a 45W TDP unit that boosts at 5.1GHz. AMD's fastest part in that power range (8945HS) reaches 5.2GHz. Apple seems to do just fine at 4GHz with the M3.

I'm guessing you're looking at some numbers for socketed chips with liquid cooling?
