I guess that by your standards "stupid" would be equally invalid. We don't use "retarded" as medical term. If you have a medical condition then you are "intellectually disabled". Retarded is now mainly used to mean "very stupid" or "incredibly stupid" in informal context e.g. like in HN comments.

I'm a little confused about this site. I recently had my mother get access to her IRS information using something called ID.me, which is what the IRS site directs you to. To sign up she needed to have a video conference on her phone with an agent that verified that she was a real person showing her driver's license. Is login.gov an alternate method to ID.me?
I was on a jury last month for a case with this exact scenario. Dude had a lot of weed and the prosecution tried to use the quantity as the sole proof that he was distributing. Searched his phone, nothing, asked the neighbors about suspicious comings and goings, nothing, et cetera. Then they had some detective expert witness come in and say that in his opinion, the guy was absolutely a dealer based on that alone.

The jury decided pretty much immediately that the prosecution hadn't proved shit. But a different jury... who knows?
This just makes me more sad, thinking about what could have been. I had a 1500 on SAT from a school where the average is probably at 1000.
Good that we established who was, is, and will be the aggressor. I'm looking forward to the mental gymnastics about those who invade being actually the ones who defend themselves. As is the tradition in the Russian propaganda, invasion of Finland, Baltics, Poland etc. were all just defensive wars.

But I'm more optimistic about that and don't believe your empty threats. If the NATO strengthens its eastern border, Russia's military has simply no chance there. It's a suicide, it doesn't make sense to bang your head against the wall. Russia has many other weaker neighbors it can abuse instead.

> Ukraine was in the process of ditching its buffer state status by choosing a side.

Ukraine was invaded because it wanted to get closer to EU in the form of the association agreement.

Interestingly, the roughly analogous CIS was never a problem in this concept of "buffer state". Or does "buffer state" actually mean "Russia-aligned"?

And that's the crux of the issue. You can stay as a buffer state only as long as you're a Russian puppet.
Also the bijection between sequence of length n ending in HH (and no earlier HH) and beginning with an H are a bijection with the set of sequences of length n-2 ending in HH (with no earlier HH) by the bijection:

def f(s):
assert(s[0] == 'H')
assert(s[1] == 'T') # can't be another H!

def f_inverse(s):
return 'HT' + s

Therefore, since sequences either begin with a T or an H, for n>=2 we see f(n) = f(n-1) + f(n-2).
Wouldn't robust structures that discourage or prevent such abuses be a better solution than not doing anything at all and still having discrimination? If we were really that worried why are we okay with passports, state driver's licenses, etc.?

Considering how many of the IoT devices I tinker with have kernels and major userspace tools that are so out of date they make Debian Stable look bleeding-edge I feel like most of the vendors in that space will start caring about it somewhere around a week or two AFTER the rollover, and will have been confidently blaming their customers' networks for any issues up to that point.
tl;dr

The general subject of the text is pleasure, which, properly understood, is the highest good in Epicurean philosophy. In these two snippets from two consecutive columns of the scroll, the author is concerned with whether and how the availability of goods, such as food, can affect the pleasure which they provide.
Do things that are available in lesser quantities afford more pleasure than those available in abundance? Our author thinks not: “as too in the case of food, we do not right away believe things that are scarce to be absolutely more pleasant than those which are abundant.” However, is it easier for us naturally to do without things that are plentiful? “Such questions will be considered frequently.”

I came up with a practical way of moderating your smartphone. Turn off the sound and alerts. If there are a few people you need to let through (wife/kids/boss) then put them on a white list. Log out of all your social media accounts when you're done with them immediately. Log in when you want to check them, that pain point will reduce your usage, especially if you're smart and have turned on TOTP or other 2FA. That's pretty much all it took.
Sorry, just saw this.

Which claim do you disagree with? The claim that the trend I describe exists, or the fact that it is bad?

Note that what you describe is what I advocate: you explain that the question exists and hasn't been answered. This is not an argument that is based on the volume of work that exists.

It is also an argument you cannot (as an author) be trusted to make. Even if you cite everything that has been published that is tangentially related to your claimed contribution, there is no way a reviewer will know all of it, and no way a reviewer will be able to go and read all of it. So they can't determine whether your claim of novelty is correct unless they already know the entire field. The only defense against this is to encourage crisp and clear descriptions of claimed contributions (to knowledge or practice) and violently reject any overinflated claims. It is not to include an entire survey paper in the introduction of every piece of work that pushes the state of the art forward.

It does mean that the average paper is less accessible to the non-expert. It also encourages the regular publication of surveys whose role is solely to critically and exhaustively compare recent advances, and of textbooks whose role is to describe historic developments and their context. This is not something every paper should be doing.
I also see value here for anyone looking to boost their credibility if needed.

"Yes Jim, my project did in fact hit the front page - take a look."
Lots of good advice in this thread, but I'll add my two cents:

First, learn your job. It's a new job, so there should be plenty to learn. Learn the tech stack, the processes and procedures, study the people and the social dynamics. All of that will be helpful in you being the most productive you can.

Second, learn at your job. Once you've achieved a comfortable level of productivity at your job, it should be expected that you will (responsibly) take time to learn new things. Most of those should probably be fairly closely related to your current projects, but some things will be more exploratory. It is part of your job to learn what you need to do you job better.

Third, learn one thing at a time. Maybe you are really into learning a musical instrument, so you spend a few nights a week practicing chords or learning a new song. Maybe it is functional programming and you spend a your commutes listening to famous talks on FP. But don't think you can do it all at once. The people who seem to have it all still probably got there one bit at a time.

Fourth, learn what you want to learn. Overtime, if you manage your energy and time, you will find that there are things you do have enough passion and energy to work on and you will find time to fit it in.

And remember, it is good to try and push yourself while you are young, but remember that is a marathon, not a sprint.

Clearly you're not aware of the corruption in the small town government and justice system. If your neighbor is a friend of cop and they don't like you, plenty of cops are willing to put you through harassment and plenty of PDs, local prosecutors and judges who are willing to turn a blind eye towards it.

Essentially, unless you believe every single cop is pure at heart and incapable of making a mistake, you should be wanting a presence of more than just 1 cop.

It will be relevant in a very improbable case the states would be at war with each other. It's an odd threat scenario to optimize for, but maybe something like that happened already and people are still not happy about the result. I dunno.

> In what decade was this?

My current company is self funded. We turned down term sheets in jan/feb 2023 because we didn't like the valuations offered, and just changed our plan instead.

30 years ago pretty much every startup was still sui generis on pretty much every dimension. The saas boom let to an absurd convergence on business models from funding to marketing, so what kinds of products are made. And lots of people who started companies just to make money (nothing wrong with that I suppose...except aren't there easier ways?) rather than starting them primarily to scratch an itch. So a lot of "is there a cargo cult I can follow?" rather than "hmm, what do I really need to do to get to my goal?"
This has been my observation too.

VC backed competitors can spend 10-50x marketing spend of early bootstrapped companies quite easily.
>It’s not as easy as you think.

It is EXACTLY that easy: "$PRICE + applicable tax".

It's truly bizarre to see people here hurling themselves to defend slimy, deceptive business practices and acting like in 2024 this is some utterly complex insoluble problem.

And finally: too fucking bad for the businesses. Prices should be completely transparent, consumers should know precisely what they're going to be asked to pay upfront, if that creates a burden for businesses tough shit.
I'm making two LLM's negotiate the exchange of a product, price is the main issue but I'm trying to make them negotiate another issues too in order to avoid the "bargaining" case.

I've tried several models and gpt4 is currently the one that better performs, but OS LLM's like Mixtral and Mixtral-Nous are quite capable too.

I know this will probably sound extremely arrogant but... at least we actually do try to bring democracy when we invade other countries, unlike, say, Russia + Ukraine or China + Hong Kong/Taiwan.

IMO, Afghanistan had a pretty great gift handed to them by the USA, but they didn't value it at all and threw it all away for a crappy theocracy as soon as we pulled out. Stark contrast to South Korea.

To be clear, I now think it's a terrible idea to force democracy on a country that doesn't want it, but hindsight is 20/20.
how do you make glass?
Completely agree there are many other reasons people don't join large, established bureaucratic organizations. My career has involved building software within well-established industries, but not necessarily within the large bureaucracies themselves. There is plenty of room for nimble software companies in those industries, but little of it fits the venture-backed model because it'll likely never achieve a 100x return. That's the sort of thing that gets suffocated by an overemphasis on VC.

I think your point about "inspirational stories" hits at the heart of something important. I believe there are plenty of successful software companies working in niche industries and having great impact, but their stories don't get amplified nearly as much as venture-backed companies do, partially because raising VC is viewed as a stamp of success that makes it easier to get press coverage, hire talented people, etc.

If there's one thing that I think needs to change, it's that we need to tell more inspiring stories about people who've achieved success without needing to raise VC. That'll also reduce pressure on VC to be the one-stop-shop for everyone's business ideas.

> makes planning the events and character development easier

My impression is that it makes the former easier and the latter harder.

Having a planned-out plot-focused story can lead you to a very tight, satisfying climax. But it can often make the characters feel wooden or like they are acting out of character in order to do what the plot needs them to do.

When a writer focuses more on the fidelity of a character's inner psychology, they can write more believable, interesting characters. But they sometimes get stuck in the position of "The plot needs them to do X but their psychology makes it more likely they would do Y." Then the author has to decide whether they keep the plot on rails and sacrifice some character fidelity, or have the story meander more to keep the characters feeling rich and authentic.

At one end of that continuum, you have thrillers and action novels where characters are little more than a bullet list of personality archetypes, but a bunch of cool shit happens and the pacing is perfectly dialed in. At the other end, you have literary fiction where you feel like you're getting a window into the minds of actual people, but nothing really happens.

You can use something like 1Password to just save the 2fa to the cloud, so you can sign in on any device. In that case it's tied to your master password and secret key instead of a particular device.

This does change the 2fa from "something you know and something you have" to "two things someone else knows", but in day to day use it's way more convenient than a phone authenticator.

If any device dies, you can login on a new device with your master password and secret key. Typically you would print out the secret key and keep it somewhere safe, or else save it somewhere else you can access.

------

With standard 2fa you can also print put recovery codes, but that's such a pain to set every service back up when you change phones. Having them in the cloud means it's account based and not device based. Way easier, probably less secure.
Old issue, but annoying nonetheless. Less of a problem when outputting STL files (for printing) which only support polylines and not arcs/circles. Funnily enough, 3D printers nowadays support arcs natively in G-code, so some slicers support detecting rounded polylines and converting them back into circles or arcs.

> domestic flyers in the U.S. deserve something better than a 1967 design.

And Boeing was working on a replacement for the entire 737-757 line, a brand new airplane using many of the same concepts as the 787 "Dreamliner" but it took a long time and in 2011 Southwest blackmailed them if they need to retrain their pilots then they might as well buy Airbus.

Sources. First for the replacement airplane.

https://www.dallasnews.com/business/airlines/2011/02/11/boei...

> Feb 11, 2011

> Boeing chairman and CEO Jim McNerney told a conference Thursday that Boeing probably will offer an all-new aircraft to replace its current generation of Boeing 737s.

> McNerney says Boeing prefers the new-airplane option to a second option -- re-engineering its current 737 lineup to accept a more fuel efficient engine.

https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/civ...

> Boeing has begun work on the 737-RS, a research program to build a new aircraft to replace the 737, which carries roughly 170 passengers. By mid-2009 Boeing expected to arrive at a design template for the 737 replacement, with "notional entry into service" around the year 2015.

> Boeing's long term plan as of 2005 seemed to involve three aircraft, designated Y1, Y3 and Y3. The Y1 is the 737RS.

Page last modified: 07-07-2011

Second, the blackmail.

https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/legal...

> Not only did Southwest management not want their pilots who flew the earlier model 737 NG to have to train in a flight simulator for the MAX, they insisted to Boeing that even classroom training be off the table, the filing shows. Southwest insisted on a clause in the sales contract stipulating a penalty of $1 million per airplane delivered if that standard wasn’t met.

> As the MAX’s most influential customer, Southwest’s insistence on this “infected every aspect of the birth and development of the new 737,” the legal filing asserts.

This is, of course, the legalese version of the blackmail mentioned above.
Two things hidden from this view:

1. There is absurd motion blur whenever you move your head. This has to be some nausea prevention technique but it is extremely frustrating if you’re trying to look back and forth between screens. No setting for this of course because it’s apple.

2. You can have only one window that’s a virtual desktop. Everything else has to be a iOS app so that means you cant have a window for coding and for viewing the result in chrome unless you want to figure out how to code on iOS which does not have a vscode app!

In general, everything being on iOS is an extreme nerf to its capabilities as a decent peripheral. It’s an iPad on your face. Do you want to figure out how to do your daily work on an iPad?

If the virtual desktop was fully featured then it might be usable.

Finally the windows are not curved which is worse than my meat space curved ultra wide monitor.
It also didn't last thousands of years. Most of the road that's still in use was a parallel road built in the 1700s. The sections of old road that are usable have been completely rebuilt. Some sections of the old road that haven't been completely rebuilt near Rome are tourist attractions and they aren't remotely driveable by a car.
