I don't think you understand what people disliked about the idea.

They understood that it was being replaced. Nobody ever pretended like health care was going away and being banned. People weren't assuming that. That would be nonsensical.

People thought the bill was going to be about a Medicare option for all, but then it came out as forced Medicare for all. People didn't like that.

It wasn't fear mongering, people just didn't like that. It's demonstrably unpopular, and this isn't news to anyone who has been paying attention.
Given today's corporate environment it's about his only option, he'd certainly struggle to get a salaried position.

The war in Ukraine reflects exactly what I said. They've run into a stalemate because both sides are heavily using conscripts and are incapable of doing maneuver warfare on a scale beyond a platoon.

Please explain to me how the trench warfare in Ukraine is relevant to a potential war with China, which will be fought almost entirely by the Navy and Airforce. In fact, the Marines are so convinced of this they gave up all their tanks to reorganize as a more agile force that could island hop while deploying anti ship missiles.

The idea that a war with China will require an infantry draft is preposterous. It's no longer 1940. Attempting any form of amphibious landing without naval and air superiority is suicide. That means if China ever lands boots on Taiwan, the war is already over, and a draft would serve no purpose.

Looks like the ownership was moved to a Singaporean holding company in 2023:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OnlyOffice#Ownership

The ownership info for the holding company doesn't appear to be public info, so it's definitely possible the move was just a bullshit exercise to avoid sanctions.

No real idea personally though.
> It seems there is a fundamental difference: zero-ness is a value property while number-ness is a type property. That makes the latter trivial to check at compile time.

That's because you have defined division to have two number inputs. Nothing stops you from defining it having a number and a non-zero number as an input. And a non-zero number can only be constructed with an enforced run-time check. For an example look into NonEmpty in haskell. A list type which always contains at least one element.

Look at it this way. Underneath everything is bits anyway. Everything we have build on top is just "types" in a certain sense.

> The weird thing is that they even hire all those singers to perform.

Where i am from the national anthem is usually sang by a choir, and people in the crowd can join in the singing with them.

What is even more weird to me is why would anyone choose a popstar to sing the anthem? They are known to be show-offs and highly individualistic. It is kind of like hiring a formula-1 champion to drive a hearse and then being surprised that they drive it fast. What were they expecting?
Please folks, do take the time to submit a carefully written comment to this, because if legislation is introduced to limit or ban open models, then it's going to cause huge pain for society at large -- possibly as far as undoing the very principles of the Enlightenment. And don't think it couldn't happen; there's a reason that these comments are being sought, which is that regulations of open models are being seriously considered.

I fully support this message, would be better if it was “Engineering, mother..” so it’s more generic. Add to that too the typical useless meetings too. Part of me feels that those methodologies and other “team building activities” are just a sugar coated systematic humiliation rituals.

> not unlike iPods helping lead to the adoption of podcasts.

Podcasts are named after the iPod, because that's who the audience was. They are radio shows that are recorded and then made available for download; other than the usual lack of melody, they are identical to other mp3 files.

Spoken-word musical albums and books on tape were already well-established phenomena before the iPod existed. What's the difference supposed to be?

That actually can make sense. Public version of ChatGPT shares your company private data with third party (OpenAI), your own version does not.
Really late to the party on this, but I don't see the purpose of remembering every day without fail. For my part, I have been journaling for a while now, and every day I make a note of something that happened. However, I don't get so caught up with particular moments.

If you have enough data, to put it this way, then you notice that most things you do, feel or think are somewhat circular. You come back to certain emotions, you come back to certain perceptions. Remembering by itself, in the absence of reflection, makes little sense. Plus, whenever I do glean something from my previous writings, it is usually due to understanding the general "feel" of a time in my life, not so much memorizing a particular day.

>The moments captured in my images are fresh, but my perspective on them changes.

I like that the author acknowledges that here. Again, though, I do think it matters more to interpret one's experience as opposed to having a perfect recollection of the facts. And, to be fair, what he does, and what I do, sounds more like a way to handle far more existential concerns. I suppose we want to hold on to life, to give it meaning in some way by always being a witness to what has been. Maybe we would all be better served by acknowledging the underlying philosophical conundrum here, haha.

I would guess that books, fiction and nonfiction, papers, journalistic articles, lectures, speeches, all of it have equal or more weight than forum conversations
The war in Ukraine reflects exactly what I said. They've run into a stalemate because both sides are heavily using conscripts and are incapable of doing maneuver warfare on a scale beyond a platoon.

If the US military stepped into the Ukraine war, and there was somehow no possibility of nuclear escalation, the Russian military would be decimated within a matter of a week or two, and that's not overly optimistic thinking on my part. The incompetence of the VKS as well as Russia's mechanized formations has been gallingly clear.

Dead Game News: Early plans for stopping companies from destroying games [video]
Interesting post, but no I mean the ethical guidelines and standards of the journal. I suspect that the scientists treat them like people treat EULAs - they make assumptions about what is in there and often don't actually read them unless someone rejects their paper because of the guidelines.
> throwing them out demonstrates to the other people in your club house that they can expect there to be actual consequences to that kind of behavior, allowing them to feel safe knowing that they won't have to worry about it.

> telling people who openly advocate for the death of people in your group to take their opinions elsewhere

These parts of your comments imply your default model of safety is a safe haven in a barbarian land with perimeter walls and armed guards and a benevolent property owner. Clearly your thinking is privatized violence is integral to safety. You might be thinking that's what freedom of speech is, as in freedom implemented in speech domain, but that is wrong. Freedom of speech as this phrase is used is something different from that.

Freedom of speech means speech is always taken as unserious as practically possible. Absolute freedom of speech would mean even advocating for death, or however terrible the messaging might be, are taken as weird jokes until an action is taken.

This is not the matter of thresholds and analogies, your model of freedom is just wrong.
Yea so for a poem this is working as intended of course, but when remembering your life would you not prefer to be able to recall arbitrary days without having to recite your life from day one?
I don't have the full context, but I took it as ironic and more of a fun social social call to action than a slogan for trying to drive change. Maybe it was meant more literally though.
Part of the problem is that if you actually just do the most efficient thing, giving people money to go find housing and food (and I understand some won't be able to manage that and need help) then you end up poking a hole in the idea of how our society works. Why should someone grind away barely surviving when they could become homeless and get UBI instead? Now you need to pay UBI for way more than just 90k people.

Not that I think we shouldn't try to solve the problem, shouldn't work towards UBI, etc. Just saying the shortest path from status quo to the ideal will break the system.

Maybe be a bit more realistic about the situation. It's not that we should go around being depressed, but we should go around demanding more action. More solar, more nuclear, more forest rebuilding.

Not just accepting that it's 72 out and that it's nice, nothing to see here, move along.

Like you said, people aren't stupid and should be a bit more conscious of the actual implications of this.

I think what you're describing is actually denial because facing the reality is scary at first.

If I heard this while I was interviewing a candidate, I would wonder whether they lacked awareness of the need to follow established processes.

> she kicked me out after my episode of psychosis

So there's at least one occasion when the person had a break from reality, leading to them being kicked out of a house. I know it's important to avoid stigmatizing those with mental illness, but the person has indicated that they had a bad experience with treatment and are not currently in treatment, so it would not be unreasonable to expect that this psychosis could occur again.

> I was able to social engineer myself into being a 'visitor' at a hospital for the past week

Not exactly legal or ethical. Obviously, they're facing dire circumstances, which might mitigate their culpability, but would you want to hire someone who uses social engineering to deceive people?

> I'm going to go and try to find/steal some food now

Again, they're facing dire circumstances, which might mitigate their culpability, but they're also being quite open about being willing to steal, which is not exactly a desirable trait for most employers.

Edit: My last point was not meant to suggest that under these circumstances, stealing a bit of food is reprehensible. Sometimes you've gotta do what you've gotta do. But broadcasting it is the red flag. It indicates a lack of discretion. I'm not trying to be callous here, but GP asked about red flags, so I was trying to describe some.
I think the issue is that there cars that don't even have encryption.
It's frustrating that the balance of providing enough content to gauge interest of often not struck.

I follow some personal blogs which have title-only feeds which I do think reduces my click through rate significantly.

I follow a few niche news sites which post essentially a long descriptive title, which is workable.

The best balance I've seen for non-full-post feeds was Guardian Australia which posted a fairly decent introductory paragraph to their feed, enough for me to gauge whether to click in. Annoyingly though news organisations seem to be bad at properly tagging their posts, so I stopped using RSS with large mainstream news sites as the firehouse was too much.
Korea has afaik much higher cost to deliver data for international services because they charge the sender of the data per unit, and Twitch couldn’t operate profitably despite the obvious market fit.

Surprising that they’re fining them on top of it though!
A fair comparison (on a technical level) to GPT-4 RAG would be a doctor in a relevant field who also has internet access. I think this would be indeed interesting to compare to assess the resulting quality of care, so to speak!

(The other models being only partially able to source good references is unsurprising/"unfair" on a technical level, but that's not relevant for assessing their safety.)
They will no doubt pay more in human hours dealing with this fine than the fine itself. Calling it a slap is a stretch
This really seems like the Korean telecoms watchdog wanting to both keep its cake, and eat it at the same time.

aka "We'll gouge Twitch for all their worth", followed by "How DARE they close up shop after we gouged them?"
We can’t just appreciate that someone took the time to evaluate the technical merits of a particular technology? What the hell does all of this peripheral stuff (“is the author otherwise well-known?”) matter?
I think that's a fair take! Even if one day we could look back and say, "In the early 21st century, people thought AI would 'hallucinate' and didn't always trust them. Today we know better, and hallucinations were actually just ______..." well, it's still a useful concept in the meantime!
There's no net loss to the economy here. If billionaires could own the means of production, fire all the humans, replace them with robots/LLMs, and keep all the money, they would. Paying those funds to workers instead of stock buybacks is one of the only ways those megacorps contribute to the economy.
Let me save you a click... it's a long and meandering article that finally gets to the point quite a ways in. That point? Not that early humans were vegetarian, we already know that we've been omnivores for millions of years, no... it's about non-human primates.

It's also written in a "vernacular" style that feels like an educational PSA from the 1990's.
In the late 1800s and early 1900s there was a lot of world-class science going on in England and Germany and most of it didn't get translated, which led to both countries being somewhat behind the advances of the other. The Dutch and Danish played a big role in mediating between those two countries, which were in intense competition at that point.

I've long assumed that if China continues to invest in its research culture, eventually (probably even now) there is research being published in Chinese (I assume that means Mandarin, but I am not knowledgeable on specifics) that would be extremely valuable. Areas like material sciences, optics, EE, MEMS, etc.

But I think since the US has so much cultural exchange with China, and so many Chinese-speaking residents, that probably any really important stuff will get translated.
That is some purity test thinking right there. I'll play - posting on HN is diverting your time and attention from helping feed the hungry, ergo posting is ultimately the same as contributing to world hunger.
This is also a big driver of needing to purchase ads for yourself on your own brand name. If your users are searching for your site on Google in order to log in (which is depressingly common), you don't want to cede the top search result to a competitor in case someone is feeling adventurous that day. It's a real racket.

A search provider that had its users' interests at heart would reserve the top result spot for the best organic search result, not an ad. Even if ads are #2-5, the top result should be what the user searched for.

At a live in senior home facility? Almost certainly. At a memory care facility, even more so; some of these patients can't sleep normal hours, and they can do some pretty disruptive stuff in general.

Does it need to be the same staffing at night and during the day, probably not.

For seniors that are generally independent or cared for by family? 4 hours of care could be plenty, sure.
I don’t think we are arguing about it (at least I’m not). This whole thread since the mentioning of self-determination has been a distraction (and not an interesting one; all I wanted to talk about was the UN policy for decolonization).

My parent was asking about the right of self determination of the Jewish people in the context of the UN general assembly demanding that Israel grants this right the Palestinian people, living under its occupied territories. And I’m trying to convey—and I might even be wrong about this—that the right of self-determination of an ethno-religious group that lives across many and diverse set of states and are citizens of equally many, does not have the same right of self-determination, under the current UN based international order, as nation states (such as Palestine) do.

This is until a bit later when my parent’s posts (your sibling post) started hinting at the potential for a Jewish ethno-state within vague historic territories, which I’m hoping is a misunderstanding on my part.
"One major reason is sprites: Amiga can display 8 4-color sprites, or 4 16-color sprites, and the colors are shared with the bitplanes."

Per scanline. However, you can multiplex them with copper to your hearts content.

"SNES can display 128 16-color sprites, and the sprites get 8 palettes all to themselves."

32 per scanline, but then almost all of those sprites would need to be 8x8. Just 17 of 16 pixels wide sprites.
Above-the-fold-only at least, please!
Give me a few minutes and I can pull up any number of medical studies or references to back up my claims.

It becomes a question of what you count as spending and who you count as homeless so it gets difficult to pin down something everyone will agree on. A couple of posters already linked the Hoover study but obviously not everybody is going to run with Hoover. San Francisco's annual budget includes (these are all approximate) $420m for permanent housing, $60m for immediate shelter, and $120m for homelessness prevention, so we're talking roughly $600m plus a large chunk of the $250m that's budgeted for mental health interventions. So we're talking close to a billion dollars a year out of a $14 billion city budget.

The denominator becomes tricky too, in that SFO has an estimated given-night homeless population of about 8000, about half of whom are rough sleepers (people literally camped out on the street/under bridges). Note that this is a high proportion of rough sleepers compared to most cities where it's about a quarter of the homeless population. That translates into about 32000 people experiencing homelessness at some point in a given year (at least that's the rule of thumb I remember from -- wait for it -- working at a homelessness NGO years ago). So the most naive calculation shakes out to $850m spent on 32000 people, or just north of $27K.

Obviously this has some problems, in that at least some of the homelessness prevention money is hopefully preventing a non-zero number of people from becoming homeless (though in my more cynical moments I wonder). But then again somebody who's only homeless for a month shouldn't need a full year's spending.

TL;DR: it's complicated and there's not a single answer everybody agrees on, but in terms of orders of magnitude it's "tens of thousands of dollars per person per year" in most large US cities, with SF as an outlier on the high end.

(If you really want to get depressed, look at European cities like Amsterdam or Berlin which have homelessness rates approaching double most US cities' and even higher expenditures.)
