This is both racist (a plurality of Israeli Jewish citizens are of MENA origin --- from Iraq, Tunisia, Yemen, and the like) and nonsensical. What does it mean that "Hamas can fight back" against Israel? That it can murder hundreds of unarmed civilians, and expect no military response?

Regardless, Hamas isn't the French Resistance.

"We are still doing Special Relativity here. Flat spacetime, no gravity."

This is a superb bit of pedagogy, despite the medium, thus the submission here. It does essentially require you understand https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_notation and/or basis-independent abstract index notation, however. The "Physics for Mathematicians" work discussed on HN recently at <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39305931> has an excellent crash course at <https://nicf.net/articles/general-relativity/#abstract-index...>.

It's important to note the poll/quiz question's requirement that "the distance between the rockets in the initial rest frame remains constant", which is reflected in the Minkowski spacetime diagrams in the thread. The author's treatment does not fix other distances.

This is discussed at greater length and in a variety of different ways (all with the same outcome) at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%27s_spaceship_paradox

Even the oldest rPIs are more than tenthousand times more powerful than what you'd need to run a MUD. Pretty much anything that can run a telnet server users could do useful stuff with could also run a MUD. This is written in python, so it probably needs slightly more power than that though.

Most likely this is just a case of awkward English - the intended use of the project is to be run on a rPI. It's not a minimum requirement.

It's a significant spike at 40%. But my guess is that this is due to the market being flooded with ultra potent opioids right now. Decriminalisation can't really prevent that, unfortunately. Only legalisation and regulation will.

I said nothing of what you’re saying, you don’t have to be a dictatorship to enforce the laws we have.

Crime has dropped every single year for the last 30 years until 2017. It’s like how progressives said the war on drugs failed but only as long as you ignore how well it did at reducing crime and drug use.
This feels like special pleading. I think you'll find that very few countries have a clean, coherent claim to "nationhood" or native self-determination, and that after a century of pogroms pushed Jewish people from around Asia and Africa to their historic cultural and religious homeland, Israeli Mizrahim have a better claim than most --- certainly better than that of Americans to Tulsa or Cincinatti.

I also just don't understand the point of arguing about it. They're not going anywhere. They're extraordinarily well armed, economically productive, and invested in their state. You'd have a better chance of getting us out of Ohio than Israeli citizens out of Tel Aviv.

What really killed RSS was Facebook and MySpace. https://utterlyboring.com/archives/2007/07/09/did_myspace_ki...

Before people started posting their thoughts on walled garden social media websites, you could follow your friends' blogs using RSS in your preferred reader. When your friends started posting on services that didn't publish RSS feeds, there was less reason to use an RSS reader and correspondingly fewer users of RSS readers.
I've just done the same thing. My inputs are CSV files from all over the place, and the output is a ledger file. Driven by make, of course. :)

Processing the CSVs takes about one second per year of my data, so what I think I'll probably do is summarize it out to ledger format each year.

I was using awk to do the CSV parsing, and it's blazing fast. But it gets a little bit unwieldy if you have to do multiple passes through a file or if a single CSV file has multiple sections. So I moved them to Python which is far more capable, but slower.
I live in southern Portugal, and over the years I've observed big differences in how natives and foreigners react to Portuguese drug laws.

The native Portuguese feel that it's not ok to consume drugs, but that for those that do, the law provides a path of rehabilitation before resorting to punishment. And this is in fact the intention behind the decriminalization of drug consumption.

On the other hand, younger foreigners often seem to take the laws as a license to consume, some becoming unable to work and spending their days smoking pot. And their older counterparts similarly fall into alcoholism, wine and beer being very cheap here.

My point is that Portuguese laws are made for Portuguese people, who tend to do things in moderation. There is no universal solution, and no guarantee that the Portuguese model would work anywhere else.
Graphically, SNES beats the Amiga hands down.

Assuming you are not rewriting the palette scanline-by-scanline...

Amiga is stuck with 16 colors for the whole bitmap screen unless extra-halfbrite mode is used, then it goes up to 32 colors (extra colors must be half as bright as the base colors). Using the hardware sprites (3 colors + transparent) can add up to 12 more colors.

Meanwhile on the SNES, the most-used video mode has two background layers with 15-color tiles (plus transparent), and one background layer with 3-color tiles (plus transparent). 8 different palettes can be selected, for 128 colors.

Then there are sprites too, lots of sprites can be on the screen at once. 15-colors (plus transparent) for a sprite, and 8 different palettes can be selected.

Then afterwards, color math can be applied, you can make graphics use additive blending (light effects), subtractive blending (darkness effects), or 50% transparent blending.
I never used the word easy, I never used the word hard. He used the word hard, you used the word easy.

With that said.

Easy: Assembling off the shelf PC components to provide what is fundamentally no different than what gamers/miners build every day. Six cards in a machine and two power supplies is low-end mining. Also see the x8 GPU machines with multiple power supplies that have been around forever. I'm not quite sure why you're arguing this so hard, you're more than familiar with these things.

Hard: Show me something with a BOM. Some manufacturing? PCB? Fab? Anything.

FWIW for someone that is frequently promoting their startup here you come across as pretty antagonistic. I'm not attacking you, just saying that for someone like myself that has been intrigued by what you're working on it gives me pause in terms of what I'd charitably refer to as potential personality/relationship issues.

What do we do when they all want to be CEO after that?

It's just a reality that promotions are limited and not guaranteed, and that reality becomes harsher the higher one climbs.

Also, many people don't want the leadership and organizational responsibilities that come with being promoted higher (less coding, more politics, less working by yourself, more working through others' hands, etc.)
Staff and above are fundamentally different jobs to Senior, which is why Senior is a terminal level at most companies.

Can you share some more details on how you are using Drafts and TextExpander?
This could be an explanation, but the old rule says "Never ascribe to malice what you could attribute to incompetence or ignorance."

Based on what I have heard from people who work at Google (and read on the personal blogs of Googlers & Xooglers), a perhaps equally plausible explanation is that Google management would be unable to pull something like that off because groups are too chaotic/independent, and what is described by the OP would require coordinated action, but there isn't an overall "strategy" (which is even true for companies much more organized than Google, sadly).
That's not my point. The point is the trend is going the wrong way recently after dropping so sharply after decriminalization. I am/was in favour of that - it is clearly a healthcare problem; not a criminal justice problem.

However, I think it is still a big and growing problem regardless of where you sit on that spectrum, which has sharply been brought into focus with fentanyl and other synthetic opioids (which are themselves a byproduct of 'the war on drugs' in many ways, but the genie is out of the bottle now with them).

Do you think the solution is better software, or is real blocker on the business/policy/cultural/incentives side? Inspired by that series I looked into building a better front end for clinical trials.gov but after seeing a few organizations try similar approaches without (yet) nailing it, I became convinced that I’d become one more classic naive-technologist story.

But have the existing approaches really missed a low hanging solution, even if it’s partial and maybe impossible to monetize?
>What does that actually do except buy every lawyer a ranch? We haven’t actually drawn the line between censorship and moderation. And I’m arguing we can’t; there isn’t one. Where we draw the line we do so by identity; who is speaking or doing the moderating/censorship.

In broad strokes the line is simple: moderation is ensuring content stays on topic, censorship is limiting the topic. In practice it gets thorny. But we don't need to solve the concept in its full generality. This would only apply to sites that reach the size such that "public square" is a reasonable description of their social relevance.

The problem is these sites want to be the destination for communication, while also shaping that communication according to some narrow political aims. Also throw in maximizing engagement. These constraints should be seen as inherently contradictory. If you want to be the de facto public square, you should not be limiting topics among interested parties. I'll leave the specific verbiage to the lawyers, but the target is clear enough: people interested in engaging on some topic (barring illegality) should not be prevented by the site in engaging on that topic. I see nothing inherently contradictory or impossible about any of this.
They will also see who didn't help them take over the world and punish those. Especially those in the know of this possibility. Now that you have been warned, you better step up, or face the consequences.

> cohort wants to get promoted into architects and managers in 10-20 years time?

Architect is a different role than a dev, assuming dev means programmer/coder/software developer/software engineer.

Manager is a completely different career path.

No every dev wants to change their role into a non-dev. Some will, some will and will end up going back.

> There just aren't enough senior jobs

Well the job will change. New teams, products, companies will come and go. No one stays at one company anymore -- okay that may be an exaggeration but very rarely do you see one person working a single job in this industry for 20-30-40 years anymore.

> In a reply brief, Karlen apologized for citing fictitious cases and said that they came from an online consultant he hired to write the brief who claimed to be an attorney licensed in California.

If the person hired was an attorney - can they be sued by Karlen for his original payment as well as the fines imposed by the court?

If Karlen was scammed, I would hope the Feds take interest in this, as this sort of scam is potentailly very dangerous.

I'm sure there are plenty of other scenarios that could turn out to be the truth (aside from the lawyer used GPT and the "lawyer" used GPT), but assuming Karlen is telling the truth I find these questions to be interesting.

I've had success with doing a bit of a silly pseudo-API (basically just flags). One of the flags is "v" (verbosity, Linux style) with a scalar (1-5). So if I want a more thorough response I can just amp up the v.

It seems to do a great job, interestingly good at nuance and summarization, but also in expanding when going higher with the v=.

I don't think what you wrote and I wrote are at all in conflict. I said managers are incentivized to promo people and that it's super hard for them to do so, which means people don't get their promos when they should. But it still contradicts what OP wrote about managers being incentivized to not promo.
> This "tipping" concept seems to have been originally proposed to deal with GPT-4 Turbo being "lazy" when writing code.

There's an inherent assumption here that it's a negative trait, but for a lot of tasks I use GPT for, it's the opposite. I don't need to see all the implied imports, or often even the full bodies of the methods — only the relevant parts. It means that I get to the parts that I care about faster, and that it's easier to read overall.
“According to the study, average arsenic and cadmium concentrations were nearly twice as high in imported rice compared to Haitian-grown product, with some imported samples exceeding international limits.”

I’m a biologist. I worry about these differences. Many things we measure in our bodies are reported in “fold change”, we plot things on logarithmic scales, things go 10x, 100x before we call them “active”.

The same happened in my house, I had the lead contenting of the drinking water measured. It was 1.5 (something) - in the green. A fried does it: 2.7, orange. He is recommended to flush his pipes at the start of each day.

I just can’t help but feel very weird about these very small differences between “safe” and “alarming”.

How about you all?
Not just separated for accounting purposes: literally make it a new company under the Alphabet umbrella (spinning up an LLC is basically a Tuesday afternoon for Alphabet) and then seeing if, as its own entity with an Alphabet "series A" grant, it can keep the product alive or not. And then if that company fails: bonus, Google didn't kill it, the market did.
Do you have experiences which would give you good perspective and the wide range of drug abuse that occurs within our society? Do you have a sense of how much of it goes unnoticed? Who do you think paid rehabilitation clinics are for exactly?

I think drugs are the issue. People have plenty of other problems outside of the scope you mention. These typically provide negative feedback which leads the person towards solutions.

Drugs interfere with this and turn them into positive feedback loops which just drags the person further into addiction. And these problems are most definitely commonly experienced outside of the "homeless junkie" caste, which is a very recent problem in the grand scheme of this issue and _seems_ to be correlated with recent changes in drug policy and resulting availability.

I am with you though in that treating the _addiction_ is insane. The drugs are just a response to other conditions and unless you treat and examine those you stand no chance of improving someones life. The best you can hope for is they hurt themselves badly enough that the trauma causes them to recognize their circumstances for what they really are.

Which is why I think criminalization is also insane; however, that doesn't mean the state just has to stand by while massive quantities of illicit substances change hands freely across our country. That's a problem you can address without even having to jail anyone other than dealers and traffickers.

And at the end of the day, even this minor action would bring massive improvements, by preventing people from prolonging their problems with addictions that destroy their lives, health and wealth.
