Myself, wife, and most of both of our whole families find all hotels lifeless and impersonal and uninteresting. Sure nice ones are nicer than bad ones, and it's fun to do that once in a while just as an experience, but generally the nicest hotel with impeccable staff isn't prefferable to a cozy appartment even if it has a few problems.

The dice roll is way better. Even the bad ones once in a while are at least different and fun to mock.

It's funny how almost the whole families have the same gut response to stuff like that. Look at something and what is the most immediate natural reaction to an idea or the look of a thing. And some other family might all have the same some other natural reaction.

Like one person finds gold attractive and another finds it gawdy, and so do their whole family & friends groups.

For me, hotels are only good for work. That's the only time the predictability matters. I avoid scheduling as much as possible on vacation. There are events of course but I don't try to tetris pack the days.

But for a few days or a week at a customer, then a hotel just something I need like a highway rest stop bathroom.
And there needs to be someone willing to pay for the water more than the electricity used, transport and capital and operational cost. And such price needs to be lower than alternatives. No one is going to build such an infrastructure for charity, or overpay for water "because it helps balance the grid".

The thing with miners is also that they are highly portable. The moment it's banned, heavily taxed or simply better uses for electricity out-competed it, they will pack them on shipping containers and off they go, so capital risk is lower.

The fact that cryptocurrency users are willing to subsidize production and deployment of such a flexible and portable load balancers is an opportunity, irrespective what one thinks of cryptocurrencies, but most minds are too narrow to go over "uses electricity == bad" narrative.
I'm sure there are benefits to this approach, but I've transferred laptops before by launching an installer on both and then combining dd and nc on both ends. If I recall correctly, I also added gzip to the mix to make transferring large null sections faster.

With the author not having access to an ethernet port on the new laptop, I think my hacky approach might've even been faster because of the slight boost compression would've provided, given that the network speed is nowhere near the speed limit compression would add to a fast network link.
Yep. This is so fucking true. You need an intellectual/cultural life to be creative. People to copy from.

Imagine an author told you they had written more words than they had ever read? You’d think them mad.
Any sufficiently advanced (AI) technology is indistinguishable from marketing bullsh*t.
That's true, Rust has futures and those aren't objects, they're just state machines. However, "awaiting" a future causes it to execute nested inside your own, not as a new task, so it doesn't act as a traditional promise/future. I'm pretty sure GGP was referring to the OOP concept.

Promises in, say, JavaScript, represent the eventual outcome of an asynchronous computation. When you call an asynchronous function, it starts immediately and you get a Promise for it. Asynchronous callers can then await this Promise to give the impression that they're performing a sub-computation, but technically they are just waiting on a new separate task. Futures in, say, Kotlin, are the same thing, and channels are how both of these are typically implemented.

Those kinds of Promises require some bookkeeping that's not free. While it's helpful to be able to just pass around "the eventual outcome of a specific task", that's not actually needed for asynchronous functions to be able to return values. You just need a way for the function to execute nested within another without necessarily requiring a new task.

I've taken a look at OP's library, and it seems to be lower-level than yielding. That means either one of these paradigms can probably be built on top of it. I take back my statement that it's a missing feature, I thought this library was meant to do more than it does.
Self-hosted runners are also useful when debugging weird behaviour in a GitHub Action.

I do it by spinning up a VM on my local pc, then running the GitHub Actions software in the VM.

This gives a fully working GitHub Actions runner which I can ssh into directly and muck around with to investigate and get things working.

It's also easy to ensure only the right jobs end up on my runner.

The installer for the GitHub Actions runner asks for optional tag names to use, so I add "jc" (my initials) to the tags.

Then I add a matching "jc" to the "runs-on" clause in the workflow in my fork or PR:

runs-on: [self-hosted, linux, x64, jc]

With that, the GitHub Actions for that workflow only run on my local VM.

Works pretty well. :)

> 30%
> Assuming you were at some decent compensation

Assuming your compensation was well above average and you lived quite frugally and well below your means.

There are countries in Europe where you can claim unemployment even if you left on your own and that would pay more so it doesn’t seem like a very good system at all. Of course nobody would really expect a “communist” country like China to not have garbage tier workers rights..
It's keep your job and your freedom if you're not caught.
Im reading this outcome to be the reverse of the examples above. Or perhaps identifying the correct stat to use based on your goals.

In other words, in this case I don't really care what the national average is. I care about my house, my street, my area.

In other cases, like in marketing, the stat that matters first is overall net profit. From there we can burrow down to understand the factors. In which case we come across business share before marketing spend.

In the networking example, the goal is usage (throughput). Not speed or latency.

Drawing the wrong stat first leads to incorrect conclusions.
could you explain how you do that exactly?

I expected it to include yielding, but I'm actually glad it doesn't. This looks like a good base layer to build higher-level abstractions on. Useful stuff.
A Linux install is often remarkably hardware agnostic.

Windows would panic, certainly (because so much drivers & other state is persisted & expected), but the Linux kernel when it boots kind of figures out afresh what the world is every time. That's fine.

The main thing you ought to do is generate a new systemd/dbus machine-id. But past this, I fairly frequently instantiate new systems by taking a btrfs snapshot of my current machine & send that snapshot over to a new drive. Chroot onto that drive, and use bootctl to install systemd-boot, and then I have a second Linux is ready to go.

> I wouldn't be surprised if he's going to be dealing with Java v1.5 instead of the latest features.

Well I certainly hope not… LTS for Java 5 probably hit end of life when he was 2. I’d say most likely the version being installed is Java 17, or 11 if theyre really dated. Java 8 would likely be the absolute minimum, mainly due to the industry being so slow to migrate away from it. Newer programmers are unlikely to ever know what Java felt like before generics and lambdas existed.
All the examples say "post unavailable" for me in Firefox desktop.

As AI gets progressively more competent, I would assume that it will be much easier for smaller groups of people to come together and give entrenched industry giants a hard time with fierce new competition.

Why would otherwise Apple and co already choose lawfare and bad faith tactics to prevent anyone from competing with them on a level playing field?
It's not illegal to speculate, but it's good journalism not to. They reported on the known facts only and that's great.

Can you imagine someone adding "this suspiciously looks like a murder" with nothing to back it? Even shitty tabloids don't do that.
I've updated the benchmarks to include those flags. I've also specified the versions of all software involved.

It seems par2 is significantly faster with those options set than without, as in by an order of magnitude, it seems par2 struggles greatly with the large number of blocks that it sets by default. Thank you for telling me.
The amount of conspiracie flying around in this thread are shocking. Someone committed, as it seems, suicide after years, if not decades, of emotional work related stress. They came forward, publicly, with their concerns. So publicly, that everyone knows who they are, from co-workers over friends and family to the media. That alone adds another ton of stress and pressure. And on top of all of that, they went through a full day of deposition, aka interrogation, and looked at yet, at bare minimum, another day of those.

Each single factor mention above can, and did, cause people to commit suicide. And instead of focusing on this, and the fact that a very courageous person with high ethnical standards, is dead (I know that I would not have the courage to come forward the way they did in all likelyhood, and if I did, or didn't, I would be in serious emotional and psychological trouble), the self-proclaimed smart HN crowd is thrwong stuff around like "that's what corporate securits is there for" or "it could have been a government agency".

Two things:

First, for fucks sake, start showing some compassion, not just here but also on other subjects were someone weaker or more vulnerable suffers. The lack of emotional intelligence is the world into a colder place that already is and has to be.

Second, stop this jumping to conclusion behaviour, whether it is concerning on-going investigation or stories like, it onpy leads to very wrong conclussions or out right conspiracy theories. Both are embarrassing and expose a lack of curiosity. And no, just because some of the BS theories being thrown around stick sometines, doesn't mean all do, or that this way of thinking is working. It just measn that if enough theories are thrown to the wall, by sheer volume, some will stick. Just luck. And we should hold ourselves to higher standards around here, especially in cases of human tragedies.

Rabies vaccines can be taken post-exposure, so no, we wouldn't.

Actually that makes me consider another possibility.. what if the stone does something similar to a vaccine? From what I understand the issue with rabies is that the immune system doesn't realize anything is wrong and so doesn't mount a response until it's too late. But vaccines have some property that makes it target the vaccine and thus the virus in an early stage. Maybe somehow intentionally inflecting trauma kicks the immune system into overdrive causing it to respond earlier? Or maybe the heat somehow deactivates or denatures the virus so that whatever it does to inhibit the immune system is disabled. I believe certain variolation protocols did use various primitive ways of disabling or weakening the pox virus.

Yes maybe this is all speculative wishful thinking... But if people swore by the method I do want to kinda give it the benefit of the doubt.
OpenAI didn't write this paper.
It's definitely part of the infrastructure of nuclear weapons. That's why it was hacked in the first place. They were making weapons grade nuclear material.
Or it might have been a conscious choice? If you’re building a new app duplicating your frontend just to appeal to a tiny insignificant minority seems wasteful?
Another is most soy milk. But not all. Something like fake crab would also depend on what the actual ingredients are rather than the name (although I suspect fake crab lacking all the manufactured ingredients would be called 'fish').

When a comment gets a certain number of flags, the [flagged] marker appears on the comment. When it gets an additional number of flags, the comment becomes killed and the [dead] marker also appears.

If a reader does not have 'showdead' turned on in their profile, or is logged out, then the text of [dead] comments is not displayed. Instead it will show as either [flagged] or [dead]. This is what happened with your comment when it was in the [flagged][dead] state. Had you viewed it with 'showdead' turned on in your profile, you would have seen that the comment was still readable and not deleted.

Once I unkilled it, it went back from [flagged][dead] to just [flagged], and it went back to being visible to everyone whether they are logged in or not, or have 'showdead' turned on or not.

If you're logged in and seeing some comments that just say [flagged] instead of text, this is because you haven't yet turned on 'showdead' in your profile.
This site makes no sense to me.

I looked up "plain hummus" and it has a score of 70?
https://www.truefood.tech/product/wf_cedars-mediterranean-fo...

But the ingredient list shows almost zero additives. The same goes for a lot of other hummuses, but then some of them have a score of 1 despite having ingredient lists that are not discernably different.
https://www.truefood.tech/product/wf_just-hummus-original-hu...

Idk. Maybe I'm missing something here.

The website goes on to say:

> In this example the Organic Plain Yogurt is at the 4th percentile among all yogurts, meaning if we have 100 different yogurts on a shelf then 95 of them are more processed than the Organic Plain Yogurt.

So, the 70 just means only 30% of all hummus are more processed than this one? But, does that really tell me anything about how processed the hummus is objectively? What if all hummus is extremely highly processed, how would this site indicate that? A 1 could still be highly processed in a category that is generally ultra-processed. :/

No, since flash is no longer around.

Meaning you can still create all the animations and games, but then you will have to try to port it to js and canvas (via easeljs). And that did not work very nicely last time I tried it.
This is not about “having knowledge “, but about being able to anticipate future problems.

I understand Wilders is exploring forming a minority government (which, to me as a non-Dutchie, seems ripe for a no confidence vote).

In the alternative, is there anything that seriously prevents forming a majority coalition consisting of the VVD (+CDA/BBB?) through the PvdA?

Also, as I understand it, the current Rutte IV cabinet is in caretaker mode, which in theory would prevent them from addressing worker and farmer compensation as well as the housing crisis, but in practice I'd bet the VVD would rather see market solutions to all of these things, so they aren't that motivated to form a new government. Is this correct?

Wait, your point is that those paying their cleaners well, above the board and with a contract should go out of business?

It's nitrites or nitrates, specifically.

So now I have stopped eating pastrami, and my reuben sandwiches are ruined, and I'm unhappy about that. They've evolved into an abomination involving chicken tikka and blue cheese, in an attempt to get some kind of taste out.

It’s your labeling that put “web standards” into one bucket. I assure you many of those web standards are far more secure and well tested for not only failure cases but also adversaries than what exists in marine systems.

"I am positively mystified why every cook in every household isn’t making this elixir regularly."

There's your answer. Not everyone enjoys cooking, and even fewer enjoy preparatory drudge-work, even when the results are excellent.
The article suggests an answer to your question, see the last sentence of the introduction:

"its lesson "isn't really to tell us which viewpoint to take but to insist that we keep both the parts and the whole in mind at once."

In the case above, they failed at "keeping the parts in mind" as clearly, the different ratios between different products was crucial.
I stopped paying for them years ago when they started publishing kind of nonsense hit pieces on Tesla. Of course since then I ended up losing all respect for Elon Musk, but back in the 2010s there was a massive media war against Tesla and seeing them join it made me cancel my subscription. The resporting was biased and inaccurate to a fairly obvious extent.

I'm also a digital nomad. new country every 1-3 months and I completely agree.
I'd love to find an alternative but the one month discount is critical for keeping my costs fairly low. booking doesn't even allow you to book over 30 days.
Unfortunately I don't have any books to recommend. I don't remember where I learned about Cepheid variables and type 1a supernovae (maybe science shows, maybe youtube, ...) but I learned about the transit of Venus stuff on a big Wikipedia rabbit hole one evening.

I think the pre-quantum mechanics era for physics and astronomy is super interesting. People figured out so much with such primitive tools, and it's all very accessible and easy to understand.
Wouldn't count the US though. Privat industry regularly sabotage state enterprises via lobbyism.

Bad faith tactics from tech companies aren't a new thing, and certainly aren't a response to AI.

My username was created before I knew anything about EA or adjacent. I'm not in any EA movement, though I am sympathetic. I've spent 100x the time on HN, with people mostly in denial, than I do in EA or adjacent forums, nor have I met any of them.

It's sadly twisted how mentioning that -- the majority of leaders doing the cutting edge research on AGI think it has a significant chance that it kills humanity -- is considered being part of a "cult" movement.

Your analogy is the same as early Intel engineers completely unaware that those chips would bring on the ramifications of social media. "In the weeds" and yet unable to foresee the trajectory and wider impact. Same with the physics that led to nuclear weapons.

> Wanting to take drastic measures today to prevent an upcoming apocalypse makes as much sense as taking the same drastic measures when [nuclear fission] was invented.
You can't fine-tune for understanding or reasoning. You can't "get better performance" on understanding. You're either equipped for it or you're not.
