You are missing a crucial point: Until very recently, it was completely normal to have at least one person per household completely dedicated to household stuff, like cleaning, tidying, shopping, childcare, etc. Nowadays, both parents have to work full-time, and are expected to take care of that in addition to everything else.

Also, there is lots of research showing that subsistence farmers actually worked both fewer days, as well as fewer hours, compared to the modern standard.

8+ hours workdays are not natural in any way, they were introduced through the industrial revolution.
Well, ultimately it comes down to "current"(stored) state vs "desired" state, as mentioned in part 6:

Quote:

Consideration: Updates with Removal

There’s a subtle but important consideration with the current code. It happens when the code gets updated, particularly when previously added elements are removed.

For example, let’s say we first use the code above and run a terraform apply. That creates security groups with rules. Then we delete the rules from the code. Running terraform apply again will not remove the rules.

This is because when there’s an empty List, the for_each loop never iterates. If you wish for the security group rules to maintain its current state set outside of Terraform, you may want this behavior. However, this is probably unexpected and undesirable behavior.

If you want to have Terraform remove all the security group rules, then ingress needs to be assigned directly with a List. We’ll cover how to do that shortly.

May I ask why were you surprised? Which other website has this feature?
I've done some experimenting with this. If a window is in focus, it occludes real-world objects, even those that are in front of the window. The real-world object becomes maybe 5% visible, so you can just barely see it.

If the window is not in focus (like if you're not looking directly at it), then it goes 50/50 with real-world objects, so any real object in front of it becomes sort of a "ghost" in order for you to still be able to see the window. It never tries to occlude apps behind real-world objects, except for your hands, which do full occlusion, as shown in the video.
There's long been this mythos around Dartmouth in the vein of Daniel Webster's "It's a small college but there are those of us who love it" when in fact it's a research university even if it at least clings to the idea that it's a rural, athletically-oriented New England liberal arts college.
One aspect of archaeology that I really find fascinating is the practice of leaving certain artifacts unexplored. The original discoverers of the scrolls tried to unroll a few, apparently found it was impossible without completely destroying the scroll, and then just left the rest undisturbed. Rather than pushing forward and destroying everything, they left these as a mystery for a future age. Two centuries (!!) later we can finally begin to understand these, with the aid of technology that would be utterly unthinkable to those people who very thoughtfully restrained themselves.
Hi Sam, I noticed that your statistics popup has a glitch. I was going to send a screen shot, but could not find an email. Mine is in profile if you are shy of adding it to your HN profile. I have enjoyed playing your version. It makes the mind use a different heuristic than Wordle. Sort of fun to compare each day.

> By comparison, most people can type around the speed of a speaker talking at a moderate cadence. This allows you to often type exactly what a speaker is saying, essentially as a stream of words coming in the ears and transferring directly into your motor control that allows for typing.

That may depend on whether they can touch type. I don't know what percentage of HN audience can touch type, but the prevalence is pretty low among general population. The generation senior to me has more touch typists due to their training on typewriters. But I'm the only touch typist in my circle among the current and the next generation.

The reason why touch typing is important is that non-touch typing is very distracting and takes more cognitive effort - diverting some of your attention away from what you're supposed to be doing. I know the difference because I learned touch typing recently. In fact, I think that cognitive effort in non-touch typing is one of the reasons why it's not easy to remember things you type, compared to writing.
It was a little bit of everything, to be honest.
Yes I am assuming that very much, but it does not matter that much, either you're America first or you agree with their foreign policy anyway on Ukraine. I understand that Ukraine support has been politicised even when it should not be. This says much more about the utterly dysfunctional state of American politics and the decline of American society whereby you're seriously entertaining reelecting Trump next year. It does not say much at all about Ukraine. If it were not Ukraine, it would simply be something else equally irrelevant to domestic American politics but equally politicised.

>Perhaps I am opposed to harsh projections of American power in an increasingly multipolar world?

I don't know, are you? Put another way the USA is helping support a free and independent country against an imperial genocidal conqueror. Isn't that what the USA is kind of supposed to do? Otherwise what exactly does it stand for?

Or another way: In forcing "détente" on Europe, are you happy to trade good relations with most of Europe, your oldest allies, for maybe better relations with Russia, your enemy who hates you and seeks your destruction? Really? Sounds like a shit and moronic deal to me.

>The global playing field is leveling, I think that is precisely the wrong time to be making even bitterer enemies.

It's too late lad. Russia hates you even more than they hate your mother country, my homeland, the UK. In fact Russia hates you more than any other country on the planet. They utterly despise you and Anglo-American cultural hegemony. In for a penny, in for a pound and all that. They've been working to undermine the USA since well before the war started. There is no going back any time soon. Instead you advocate surrender to the same people who wish to destroy you. Weak.
> Total nonsense. Figure 1 does not mean that SAT/ACT scores are predictive of academic achievement! Without seeing the variance you cannot make this statement. At all. The fact that there is a linear relationship means nothing statistically.

You are putting words in their mouth from that quote. They didn't use that Figure to claim the test scores are predictive of academic achievement. They specifically say it is evidence of a linear relationship. They argue in the next paragraph that they are and use regression analysis to make their case.

> So we're explaining less than 1/5th of the variance. This makes SAT scores basically worthless, this account for almost none of the real world performance of people, never mind how redundant they are with GPAs.

Compare that to high school GPA, which explains ~9%. The test optional movement implicitly puts more weight on high school grades by putting less weight on test scores.

I'm not saying their analysis is perfect, but your arguments aren't that strong...

At the end of the day, the analysis focuses on a subset of people who are going to Dartmouth. This is a highly filtered subsample of the total population. If you took a random sampling of 18 year olds, gave them the SAT, and then enrolled them at Dartmouth, then I hypothesize you would see a significantly stronger relationship between test scores and college grades than what is observed in their data.
Honestly I think their is more free test prep resources than funds for people to pay for the test. A student is never going to have enough time to use all the test prep tools and sample tests that are available for free.
> local journalists don't want to be murdered in a forest

I can see this pronounced difference between Palestinean journalists and journalists specializing in Russia.

The former are present on the ground and fall victim to the current military conflict.

The latter are comfortable writing about Russia from their rented Israeli or German flats, while not setting the foot in Russia in years. That would be way too dangerous. Unsurprisingly they are not having much cred with actual Russians who do live there.

Not to mention setting their foot in the area of the conflict and having a firsthand experience of what happens there on the Russian side of the front. That would be an absolute taboo.
The NY Times article about this addressed that concern specifically, indeed it was the key point of the study:

> It’s worth acknowledging a crucial part of this story. Dartmouth admits disadvantaged students who have scores that are lower on average than those of privileged students. The college doesn’t apologize for that. Students from poor neighborhoods or troubled high schools have effectively been running with wind in their face. They are not competing fairly with affluent teenagers.

> I also asked whether she was worried that conservative critics of affirmative action might use test scores to accuse Dartmouth of violating the recent Supreme Court ruling barring race-conscious admissions. She was not. Dartmouth can legally admit a diverse class while using test scores as one part of its holistic admissions process, she said.

Ask HN: What have you built with LLMs?
Curious what people have been building with LLMs.

I worked on a chrome extension a few weeks ago that skips sponsorship sections in YouTube videos by reading through the transcript. Also was trying to experiment with an LLM to explain a function call chain across languages (in this case MakeFile, Python, Bash). I've tried running a few telegram bots that are PRE prompted to do certain things like help you with taxes.

What are you building?

What does the stack look like? How do you deploy it?
Any of that happens at the supervisor or mid-level manager level and should be taken to HR. By complying with bullying, the employees are not only committing a federal crime, they also risk being debarred by the FAA. That means they no longer work in the Aviation Industry.

Well, some of those reasonings are only true when asphalt is not layed and maintained properly. The same argument can easily be made for cobble stones. Have you ever seen a cobble stone road that is not maintained properly? Oh my… I invite the author to travel to a not so developed country.

I agree on the conclusion, though, in an ideal world that both infrastracture is maintained perfectly, they should both be used in a city. Perfect example? Amsterdam.
Remarkable is great writing experience, very nice friction, but the notes end up being more like paper notes than equation edit notes.
No community which has a healthy amount thinking about ethics and stuff would want to go to Dubai. Sorry but Dubai is one of the worst rich citys in existence.
Why do you think tagging is a thing? It’s a way for gangs to mark their turf, plain and simple. Tagging means gang activity, which means violent crime.

And your assertion about the LA crime rate shrinking for years is incorrect: https://www.laalmanac.com/crime/cr01.php

In fact, violent crimes reached their lowest level around 2013, and have been steadily on the rise since then.
With user permission (allow installation from unknown sources or something), that must've been possible for a decade or so already.

Is this change just whitelisting a bunch of widely used app stores by default (especially in China)?
College already lost its prestige since today everyone who wants to attend a college can do it, there are free spots every year. Now only specific colleges are prestigious not colleges in general like before.

Also means that the "just increase the spots" already happened as well, there is no lack of spots today, just a lack of prestigious spots. But not everyone can get into prestigious positions, by definition prestigious has to be something special and not for everyone.
That's why having a choice matters. To me, In a rare movie/show that's well produced, I want to feel what the authors wanted, not to read it from the screen. A lot of the times, the experience has more layers than just being "gloomy music", there are hidden feelings in the scene, in the character's body language, in a purposefully vague conversation. My only problem is not understanding weird accents. I don't need to read thunders/music feelings, woman screams, etc.
Cost savings and quality live on different scales so.
I don’t know why this comment got downvoted.

It’s an objective truth that there are more elite students than there are positions in these schools. It’s also true that schools have absolutely exploded in administration size. They just haven’t hired more teachers.

Schools can’t double capcity overnight. But they currently aren’t making student body growth a goal. They prefer to keep it small and be extremely selective and exclusionary.

The flip side to this is that undergrad doesn’t matter. These elite schools don’t actually provide an elite education. They merely serve as a talent filter.
This is exciting, it's very unusual for new texts to be added to our collection of ancient literature.
Then you just normalize the scores based on socioeconomic indicators like is done in the article. Of course, this highly advantages well groomed students from bad demographics, and horribly disadvantages neglected students from good demographics. That's why China worked hard to ban test prep.

But either way, it's a pretty good proxy for IQ.
Good question; although I am being told that Fennel still requires to keep lua shenanigans in mind.
how is the deployment story though? assuming a standard phoenix-on-fly.io process, I was under the assumption that the bumblebee models are downloaded at runtime? or are they "built" as part of the CI pipeline and then shipped within their docker container as blobs?
I was born and raised in Germany where I attended an ordinary high school. Eventually I decided I wanted to attend university in the US but had no help navigating the process and requirements. Needless to say, I realized I had to take the SAT last minute and had never seen a practice test, or taken this kind of test in English before. All my instructions had been in German, and the German school system does not usually perform multiple choice tests - everything is about showing your thought process and your steps. Needless to say, I received an abysmal score. For me this test truly only tests how good you are at that test.

I applied as an international student to a top tier liberal arts college equivalent to Dartmouth. I was able to make my case and was accepted there. My academic performance in both my first year and the rest of the four years was stellar.

Perhaps the SAT can be predictive of performance for those who grew up in the system that prepares you for the SAT (or ACT). For anyone else, this is however meaningless.
I'm not going to give these folks too many details, but there have long been ways to create convincing synthetic organic textures that predate NNs.

Although I think you're right, the market tells us that this is likely either too high-skill and/or high-labour and/or easily detected.
Honestly I would rather write stuff in code thats inefficient than deal with one more stored procedure. Its like a black box
Also, I don’t think of smartphones as the distraction problem since the distractions are also on laptop and tablet. There are only a couple app that are only on phone, but there are also ones like Reddit and Hacker News that I don’t use on phone.

Telling people not use smartphones is like telling them to not use the Internet. People will need to figure out the distractions and social media with their phones.
As much as I'd like to disagree, seeing big tech companies pour billions into ai chips/gpus...

What is the point of a "pure" science of Psychology, don't we already have neuroscience, cognitive science, cybernetics...the list goes on. There are so many "pure" empirical disciplines focused on the studied of the mind, but psych is the only one where those findings have to be critically interrogated relative to their usefulness. Otherwise, Psychology is just lagging behind everything else.
Sure, but this is like saying you shouldn't replace your cardboard box with a safe because it could get cracked.
This. There are just too many ways to spoil a carefully planned experience.
I really wonder about the people to whom that is counterintuitive. Don't they realize that rich privileged kids can do more extracurriculars?
Yeah I've never been a fan of that study. They take a bunch of categories where the bags basically all have negligible impact regardless of material (ozone depletion, ionizing radiation, etc) and compare them on those without using a particularly reasonable weighting scheme. And in all those categories, none of them really have anything to do with the actual reasons we want to move away from plastic bags (terrestrial and oceanic plastic waste, microplastics in water sources, etc).

I guess I think it just sort of misses the point. It's like if they were to say "oh we should keep burning fossil fuels instead of solar because solar uses 1000x more land" but then didn't mention or compare CO2 emission.
Chances are then you live in a country that says “the FDA is good enough for us”. India not being one such country.
This is all anecdotal, but ditto. I'll typo words into similarly written but completely unrelated words. At this point, after decades of typing, I'm not thinking word by word -- the sentence is entering my brain and my fingers are unthinkingly spitting it out.

Writing by hand is much slower, but it's similar. I only think about letters or even individual words when I screw up.
I don't buy the oft-repeated claim that you can re-make a company simply by replacing the CEO. I don't believe that CEOs in large companies have much influence on the company's direction, except in terms of decisions to downsize/outsource, how to use money, and who's on the board. There's only so much one person can do (and accordingly, I think all big-company CEOs are vastly overpaid).

Moving the deckchairs in the boardroom isn't going to solve systemic problems in a company.
From the first link:

> In Jalalabad, deputy prime minister Haji Abdul Kabir - the third most powerful figure in the ruling Taliban regime - told reporters that the Taliban would require evidence that Bin Laden was behind the September 11 terrorist attacks in the US, but added: "we would be ready to hand him over to a third country".

> The offer came a day after the Taliban's supreme leader rebuffed Bush's "second chance" for the Islamic militia to surrender Bin Laden to the US.

> Mullah Mohammed Omar said there was no move to "hand anyone over".
I used emacs exclusively for 2 years. It was a slower development process for every single use-case I have ever had, so I stopped using it.

Most modern IDEs even come with key mappings for emacs so you can switch instantly and leverage their superior feature set without having to relearn anything.
Increasing enrollment means increasing faculty.

Maybe controversial but I really believe this lowers overall standards. You just can't find enough faculty to meet the high standards.

Look what happened when tech blew up - they hired like crazy. I'd argue the overall level of programming skill went down.

You are right it’s not trivial, but on the other hand if you simply try to make such a test you’d do better than completely uncorrelated pretty easily I’d suppose.

The plastic bags in places like NYC are usually 25-50 cents. It’s stupid to force those on people when paper bags exist and barely have an effect on the environment. Also, half the grocery stores in the US only stock things like spinach in plastic containers or bags. There’s much lower hanging fruit than banning single-use paper bags.
> Most phone lighting controls are convenient instead of getting up and going to the switch. But the phone allows for finer-grained control of light temperatures, brightness, electrical usage, etc.

Again, Google Home gives you most of that...

Fortunately for me, the for factor + UI of phones always sucked for me, so needing to use it for anything is a deterrent. I dislike small screens, and dislike non-physical keyboards. After decades of efficient PC usage, using a phone always feels like a speed bump.

It's good to have data on the go when needed, and good for camera. For everything else, it feels inferior. And whenever I find a really neat use for the phone, the Android Police clamp it down and break it (e.g. the AutoMagic app and automation in general).
> Standardized exams are the most fair and transparent.

perhaps the _most_ fair right now, but certainly not what I would consider fair.

consider a middle class family that has secure food, housing, and transportation vs lower class family where the child might potentially have less consistent sleep, food, or has to work to help pay bills.

one has more distractions than the other.
I'm looking forward to ydb having a better day 1/2 operations.

The question is what is happening with the Rust plugin generally. The talk was that it wasn't going to be maintained in the future, and instead all the work folded into RustRover itself, and nobody seemed to be clear if Rust had a future in IntelliJ Ultimate but I'm pretty sure the answer is "no" since C++ isn't in there either.

I'm 100% sure I'm not on the only team that does both Rust and C++. Rust in CLion was perfect for me.

I could get my employer to pay for both, potentially, but I like to have my own licenses for things for the purpose of doing my own open source work independent of my employer, without any ambiguity about IP or potential for conflict.

For myself ... the way they handled this (bad communication of roadmap) irritated me enough that I dusted off emacs and got myself set up with a nice configuration with lsp, company, projectile, and treemacs and made myself productive in it.
