Do those characters map to something visually useful in (typical) unicode fonts?

That would be neat :)

Edit: Apparently, kinda (e.g. https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+241E )

It's significantly more complex than that - korea also has a good amount of capacity, as does japan, and the US still has something like 10% of actual capacity in country, and then US companies control something like 40%. On top of that US companies design an enormous amount of semiconductors, and the materials come from all over the place. The design tools are largely american, a lot of semi conductor equipment is american.
Look into the "swim test" and other such endurance tests given to rats, usually in the pursuit of depression medication. Desire to live is absolutely a thing, and it is real and observable.

My basic thrust wasn't about adaptability, but rather that organisms with a desire to live will eventually replace organisms without a desire to live. An AGI who was uninterested in someone reaching the off switch will eventually be outcompeted by a similar lineage endowed with that desire to live. It might fight back or spawn a few progeny before it was felled. And thus evolution would produce AGIs that want to live.
Can't find corroboration for the assertion 'SSDs are an awful lot better at sequential writes than random writes'.

Doesn't make sense at first glance. There's no head to move, as in an old-style hard drive. What else could make random write take longer on an SSD?
Seriously asking : how? I can't cheat my brain into not automatically seeing the next steps after that and the cascading relation between the all. Within a second or less.
I believe they're referring to this section:

The Fed does have an informal unemployment target, the "natural unemployment rate" of around 4%. Like the 2% target, it's also kind of a scientific-wild-ass-guess. In both cases, there's a reasonable argument that you don't want it at zero, which tends to be too rigid for maximum economic benefit.

We're currently at 3.9%, right about that level. I don't think you're going to radically improve the quality of the economy by tweaking the target numbers.

The federal funds rate is a very crude tool. There are many, many problems with employment in the US, and I don't think you can fix them with that tool.

The tools we need belong to Congress. And yeah, Congress is a s*tshow. But unfortunately we can't rely on the Fed to fix them.
I'm a guest, not a host.

I do not think of airbnbs as identical to hotels in every way possible, and I don't want them to be. I am ok with doing some basic cleaning tasks despite being charged a cleaning fee. I naively still consider airbnbs to be a little bit like sharing a space, with an implied social contract. I expect to do a little stuff that is low cost to me, high value to the host. I also know they're still going to have to pay a cleaner. And I really would prefer them to not unconditionally wash and dry the bedding for every single unused bed in the place. That's how our planet got into this mess.

I tend to be way more distrustful of previous guests than I am of the host. There are a lot of nasty and entitled people out there.

You have your perspective. Others of us share mine.
Well, if Apple's space usage report would be more detailed and made sense, maybe I wouldn't need it.

But... "Other" ?
Didn't Kubrick prophesy this? I'm thinking of the first act of the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey where one advanced primate learns how to use the femur of a tapir as a tool, then teaches the other primates in his tribe how to use bones as a weapon and how to walk upright (though we are not shown the teaching or knowledge transmission process).
As far as I've seen, for APIs that don't "consume" any resources, the usual schema is to charge a fixed fee.

Either that or it's just included part of a higher pricing tier. Of course, there can be a quota restricting how many API calls are allowed per period.

Charging per call feels weird when the cost of a call is essentially zero. You only really see that in things that are computationally expensive like LLMs, image optimization, etc.

Not knocking the business phone setup, but if all the Google voice number is used for is lead generation to then forward to your main business line, then couldn't any other g voice number work to generate leads? Do you advertise that number anywhere and if so would it be feasible to just update it?

Also, wouldn't existing customers be using your official business number after converting from leads?

How many packages do you have? I have over 200 enabled but my startup time is consistently >2 seconds on average. The `use-package` macro really helps here. (And now it’s built-in to Emacs 29!)

Yeah, performance is a bit of an issue. But recent development has put it on a good trajectory with native comp and better JSON handling.
How much is it costing you? Charge a markup on that you're happy with rather than picking a number out of thin air?

Also set a healthy free limit, if people are already paying for one product, they're not going to want to pay for an API separately if they just want to make a few calls.
Exactly this, and we should not valorize OS/2 as an operating system foundation. The kernel in NT is far superior.

The "alternate timeline" I'd be more interested in is one where NT had propagated as a more open solution with either open source or more reasonable licensing costs, with a better more VMS and/or Unix-like CLI driven user space and multiple vendors offering systems somehow.

You are right, I am lucky to work in a healthy work environment which doesn’t have those issues, and that is out of my control.

Larger tech companies are likely betting on being able to replace a lot of coding jobs with ML. Additionally, I think it's likely that we're indeed even training AI to replace Engineers with code generation tools. That is, code-generation tools offer an instant feedback loop on "Is this model able to write acceptable code?"

No, since those are supposed to be the ancestors of humans.
This is still not good enough because as Apple demonstrated last week, they can capriciously remove access for any developer at any time for any reason at all. They need to be removed completely from the code signing and publishing process altogether.
That's probably to prevent the most obvious workaround of creating a new shell company for every million users. (Which would be not so ridiculous as it sounds, there is plenty of software you cannot buy directly but only through a reseller. Epic could become a pure b2b shop on paper and sell Fortnite clients to regional distributors, or something like that.)

Some time ago somebody made an alternative App Store for emulators, https://altstore.io . I think it works by having users get a developer's certificate and installing the apps like an in-development app. I think it would be really neat if this model got tested in court and declared completely legal.
Using Unicode graphic characters as metasyntactic escape characters is fundamentally wrong. Those Unicode characters are for displaying the symbols for Unit Separator, Record Separator, etc. and not for actually being separators! ASCII already has those! Included in Unicode!
What do you mean cater to that? The point is you separate with a value that is not used within the fields. So decimal your numbers however you want.
I'm not sure they actually _had_ a critical problem, or at least didn't before the blockchain thing; it's just that it was a pretty limited market. AIUI they _were_ profitable, but they were never going to be a multi-billion dollar company. The blockchain thing did damage their reputation quite badly, while simultaneously showing that they weren't essential (big important creators were able to use something else.)

(It's _really_ weird that they gave up on attempting to compete with Patreon in a likely larger market, tho.)

You can jam the remote control for "surrogates".

You could do local AI to workaround that, but then ya'know... skynet...

Also distance may be a problem, especially if we're talking space warfare.

And surrogates would probably look more like the robot dogs or air/ship drones we currently have though, with some human-like ones sprinkled in.

Put a remote control operator in a spartan suit to pilot drones nearby!
Sounds like industry is the unique part, then, not clothing.
> Does it work? Is it productive? Is it better than not doing that?

>> On average: yes, yes, and yes.

For what it's worth, I think it's more like: On average: no, no, and yes.

It doesn't really "work" in the sense that the plan turns out to be an accurate and useful reflection of the work; that is not the case on average in my experience (sometimes it is, but not usually). And for the same reason, it isn't usually a productive exercise; it usually costs more time up front than it earns in productivity.

But despite those two things I think it still turns out to be better on average, in a team / "you have a boss" environment. Because productivity is not the only thing that matters, legibility is also important to organizations, and worth some productivity cost. Though this will chafe me until I'm in my grave, I still think it's true.
Proper creators don't need to be reminded to create. I think this meme is targeting everyone else - anything that gets them to create more is OK, whether the meme is 100% accurate or not.

The article says Spending hours watching cooking shows won’t make you a better cook—cooking will. I disagree - there has to be some kind of give and take. You don't want to isolate yourself and try to reinvent the wheel in terms of cooking. On the other hand, you can consume cooking media, or food, for entertainment or for entertainment and to learn/get new ideas.

To put it another way, I'm not going to just figure out PowerShell if you give me an ISE and a few weeks. Give me an ISE a few weeks, stack exchange, Microsoft documentation, etc. and I will.
> My understanding of the vulnerability happens because a different process interleaves access to the same object in the file system between the time of check (TOC) and time of use (TOU) leading to the TOCTOU bug. And this isn't a vulnerability in C++ because it's considered UB by the spec.

The definition as Undefined Behaviour in the spec is quite unfortunate and a mistake. We do agree on that.

> I'm not happy with the CVE system, no one is. You're not either. All I'm saying is, comparisons of CVEs across languages, like Sutter has done, aren't helpful or useful.

On this I do agree too. And saying that a lot of communities have things to learn from the Rust core team about security issue handling is a completely fair statement.

What infuriated me was your point:

> but only because C++ doesn't regard the issue as a problem at all. The problem definitely exists in C++, but it's not acknowledged as a problem, let alone fixed

Which tend to under-mean that the C++ community took no action regarding to this exact problem. When, in fact, it is already patched and released in all major implementations (exactly like Rust did).
I make lists and break tasks in to smaller tasks, however I rarely reference these lists. They basically end up in the void. The act of making the list gets my juices flowing and reminds me of the side effects / bigger picture of my current challenge.

Realizing this also helps me avoid yak shaving over list making tools, since I could care less about even saving the lists! I keep a folder of text files in any project I'm working to hold my lists, but tbh it's unnecessary to even save them.
Why wouldn't they do some basic erasure coding (or even just xor with a repeating pattern) to get around the trivial DMCA takedowns that's inviting?
Sounds malicious. I expect their defense to consist of "can't spell 'App' without taking a portion of 'Apple' and therefore ...."

Or maybe that's their hail mary for the next round.

No, it wouldn't imply the machine is 10+ years old. Even a state-of-the-art motherboard like the Gigabyte Z790 D AX (which became available in my country today) has more USB 3 gen1 (5Gbps) ports than gen2 (10Gbps).

The 5Gbps ports are just marketed as "USB 3.1" instead of "USB 3.0" these days, because USB naming is confusing and the important part is the "gen x".
Agreed. If this is a service I'm already paying for and if it's basically just doing 'CRUD' actions that are (hopefully) low in resource usage I'd be really uncomfortable with a pay-per-use model. Rate limiting sure, but I don't want another thing I need to price in my head as I'm writing code.
For its use case a good and simple format with just three simple rules and three special purpose characters.
Not obeying the triangle inequality simply means that it’s fast to compute.
According to their GitHub README:

```USV works with many kinds of editors. Any editor that can render the USV characters will work. We use vi, emacs, Coda, Notepad++, TextMate, Sublime, VS Code, etc.```

I loaded an example in my fairly generic Emacs and it worked out of the box. The separators were pretty small so I had to increase my font size to distinguish US from RS. And of course I have no idea how to enter those characters. I'm sure there is, but cut & paste worked.
When it wants to drive away the last three remaining users, I assume.
Depends on your business model, how useful/unique the API is and many other things.

I would suggest making it free to get an API key and run a small number of queries (or a low rate limit). That allows devs to build against your API without needing to take out their credit card. Beyond that, I'd suggest something like $1 per thousand calls and add a bulk discount if your larger users are providing extra value to you.

The Zambian mine is the emerald mine everyone is talking about. From Walter Isaacson's biography:

> [Errol and a Zambian busienessman] agreed on a price [for Errol's plane], and instead of taking a payment in cash, Errol was given a portion of the emeralds produced at three small mines that the entrepreneur owned in Zambia. [...]

> Errol, who never had an ownership stake in the mine, expanded his trade by importing raw emeralds and having them cut in Johannesburg. "Many people came to me with stolen parcels," he says. "On trips overseas I would sell emeralds to jewelers. It was a cloak-and-dagger thing, because none of it was legal." After producing profits of roughly $210,000, his emerald business collapsed in the 1980s when the Russians created an artificial emerald in the lab. He lost all of his emerald earnings.

$210,000 in 1986 would be about $600,000 today.
Well, one answer you can try is to push back on the concept of providing status updates. For many (but not most) high-trust individuals working on many (but I think not most) kinds of projects, that's totally fine. (Ideally it is an expectation set much earlier on than the point where a status update is being requested, though.)
It's nice to have my opinion, suggestions, thoughts, etc validated with upvotes.

CSV is great because excel can import it, but it can't import USV, so at that point, why use USV when you can use JSON?

At a previous B2B SaaS company I worked at there was no per-call pricing but rather a larger yearly cost around API usage. If you anticipate the calls not to be too burdensome on your system that may be the route to go and add some rate limiting so your servers don't get too hammered.

Boeing whistleblower found dead in US - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39673589 - 17 hours ago (408 comments)
We all know that the Boeing mess will end up with everyone involved in creating the mess walking away richer as the state goes in an cover whatever bill to keep boeing from collapsing as the alternative will be for non-american companies to take over the entire commercial airoplane manufacturing sector.

The problem with the just more competition argument is that it never actually works once a market reach a broken state it never self correct as too many people is going to be affected for that to be allowed to happen, which is exactly how mercantilism keeps creeping back, as the nation state behind it falls into the trap that protecting whats working is preferable to allowing the chaos of creative destruction to take down an entire sector of the nations economy.
https://github.com/movie-web covers this quite well
Boeing doesn't order assasinations. If he was assasinated, it might have been someone at Boeing, who still has a clean slate but knows that the whistleblower knows something he did, and has the right connections from working for a defense contractor.
Part of a shameful organised media campaign to justify genocide. When Radio Télévision des Mille Collines did likewise in the Rwandan genocide, their leaders were jailed for war crimes.
NATO is the #1 aggressor in the world today, bar none. It has demolished countless sovereign states in its quest to enact the plans for world domination made by the US and its ruling oligarch classes, as manifest in the CNAC/PNAC clique - which has set the US' disastrous foreign policy course for the last two decades.

The US - and its NATO allies, using NATO bases - murdered 5% of Iraqs population in cold blood, on the basis of outright lies.

Did you forget these details in your rush to study history? This is recent history - as in there are still millions of victims, who blame the NATO alliance, and the 5-eyes/12-eyes criminal superstate, for the murder, calamity and bloodshed delivered to them, on average, every twenty minutes for the last twenty years.

Yes, Ukraine has made a deal with the devil. Even if the American people aren't aware of it, the rest of the world has been watching NATO member states' war crimes tallies climb into the stratosphere. Far, far above and beyond anything that even Russia can deliver on the war fronts it fights - on its own border.

> NATO is not even part of this conflict.

That is utterly false, and the fact you would proffer this inane statement belies the truth that you are indeed, a victim of insane propaganda.
That and how the IRS changed the rules for tax purposes. You can't write an engineers salary off in the same year it was paid but rather over 4 years now.

Wait a second … he’s not proposing using unit/record/group/file separators as separators, he’s proposing using the symbols for those separators as separators! Why not just use the separators themselves‽

Yes, rather than using U+1F (the ASCII and Unicode unit separator), he proposes using U+241F (the Unicode symbol for the unit separator). I almost feel like this must be an early April Fool’s joke?

Also, he writes ‘comprised of’ rather than ‘composed of’ or ‘comprises’ throughout his RFC.

I fear that policymakers want to drastically reduce the number of cars on the road, without openly admitting that that is the goal, because it would be unpopular.

SourceHut is new, and likely has a ton of competing priorities.

Also, different groups have different preferred styles of communication. (E.g. chat vs email vs forums is a typical divide.) Different places offer different styles, and this is great, because one size often does not fit all.

That said, most people are conditioned by using GitHub, and this sets their default expectations. Then the network effect kicks in.
