One of the biggest pros for having children relatively young.

I had 3 children before 25 then one when I was 39.

My oldest 3 had exceptional times with their grandparents. My youngest son didn't have this, they grew very old very quickly.
Cool!! So, if you first have kids at 92, you live to 184, and if you never have kids, it's infinite (bar getting 'hit by a bus')? ;-)
A neat illustration of French union power.

I don't see why undesirable press coverage would make it less likely. If you're not already getting undesirable press coverage... why would you need to bother?
German kids get cooked lunch in school, at least in German schools I have seen.
That's a matter of compliance with local censorship laws. American social media companies are obligated to do that when operating abroad, not just in China. YouTube just blocked a Canadian video at the request of the Indian government, for example.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/india-fifth-estate-video-stor...

> In an email to CBC on Wednesday, YouTube said it had received an order from India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology to block access to the video of the story from its website.

> YouTube confirmed to CBC News Wednesday afternoon that "the content has now been blocked from view" on the India YouTube country site. While the content is restricted in India, the video is still available everywhere else on YouTube.
French here. I think 2 hours are too long for lunch break.

It happens that it suits me well, because I can go to school get my kids, have lunch with them and spend time with them, and then bring them back to school (the joy of working at home !).

But for kids having their 2 parents working, it's a very long period of time that can be "waste" every day. Of course socialization is important and, well, that's one of the only thing you can do during those breaks.

Of course some school have clubs or activities that can be done in those hours, but not enough to please everyone.

And this come with a price: hours spent in school !

In my teens' school, nearly every day starts at 8h. And some big days can end near 18h (6PM) and have 8 hours of class ! Which is, in my opinion, far too much.

We spent 2 years in Ireland, where school ended around 14 and 15 (2-3PM), kids had more time to play, do their homework, or do some sport.

Here, my daughter is doing boxing, and it's between 19h and 20h (7-8PM), on a day she started school at 8H, finished at 16h30 (4:30PM), do her homeworks, get the bus to go to the boxing club, and then eat at 20h30 when she comes back.

(Very) Long day !

Which major tech companies would it be good for while being bad for Apple? Keeping in mind that the owner of a device is also allowed to repair without certification.
Mind-blowing stuff. Breathtaking to be honest. Live video is such high quality. Sci Fi made real.

Fair

Side note: I was actually at AWS when Honeycode was introduced and on a team working on a popular open source “AWS Solution”. The Honeycode team wanted us to integrate with it and I vehemently opposed the idea. I said wait until it gains traction.

Luckily, I won that fight.
>People who have worked in the second type of environment (deadlines are real and have consequences) become quite good at estimating and managing progress toward deadlines without crunch mode at the end.<

I don't know. In my experience, estimation is one of the most difficult aspects of software engineering. A black swan event or some unknown unknown will blow apart your thoughtful estimate (especially near the end of a development cycle) - no matter how good you are at it. I'd much rather have a crystal ball at hand, and let the chips fall where they may, than engage in a herculean struggle to accurately predict the future.

The law there is defining two categories manufacturers need to provide the parts to, changing it to AND would mean owners would have to be certified repair people to be covered.
Yes, we had some "stakeholder training" that was necessary.

The biggest complaint: "I don't understand why this takes so long."

Our stakeholders were mostly plant operations people -- users, not engineers. We re-framed the discussion to focus on WHAT they didn't understand. They didn't understand how software comes together, gets deployed or updated, etc.

I explained that it wasn't important that they understand how that occurs (or, if they do, please join the engineering team!) This literally took pressure off of them to be knowledgeable. I pulled a few of them in as "first-pass quality control", ensuring what we built would work for them and their teams.

Immediately, I had advocates for us and interested stakeholders willing to participate as partners.

Your snark aside, I don't think posting on forums is "writing." That's not what we're talking about here. For the most part, neither is commenting on Hackernews or Reddit or whatever.

I'm explicitly calling "writing" the process of creating a coherent set of thoughts, editing, and publishing them. It's something that isn't generally off-the-cuff and takes significant time and effort.
Well, it's the same state that won't "permit" a non-certified engineer from recording and noting the time on a stoplight is outside of law. (Note: he won a first amendment lawsuit, and the state body used his formula in the end)

So yeah, when I see verbiage about certifications like this as a barrier to repair electronics, it's pure protectionism and the state impeding actual ownership rights over whatever this crap is.

(Put bluntly, my hardware is mine. If I want to take it to someone else for repair, that's 100% on me and my property rights to decide that. 'CerTiFicAtIoN', especially with the shit company or govt in question should have no say on who can or cant fix MY hardware.)
> You have substance abuse, criminal records, etc that all prevent people from finding employment.

Those all respectively represent a small fraction of the whole, and there's usually overlap. You cannot add them all up as though they are completely separate parts of that 100%.

Show HN: I Made a Node.js SMTP Email Verification Library
Hey HN,

Email list validation is important for reducing bounce rates, improving deliverability, enhancing security, and, of course, saving on service and/or infrastructure resources.

Inspired by the email-verify project, the team at Pingback, created the ping-email library to perform this task for Pingback clients – and made it available as open source for other projects that need similar verification.

If you need to validate emails, I made this lib with Node.js and TypeScript, just install it with `npm install ping-email`.

Furthermore, I would love feedback on how the project turned out.

The last part is this:

The government already handed over the full cost of Fiber to the home everywhere. Just the Federal government alone has handed out over 90 Billion dollars for rural high speed internet. That estimate I gave also included profitable areas, the unprofitable rural network requiring strings is only a fraction of the total cost.

The money just didn’t have enough strings to require companies taking it to actually build out their networks everywhere.
I wouldn't call simple edge detection "pretty good" colouring book generation. You're just gonna get all the edges of complex shapes; it needs to be cartoonified/simplified with having large contiguous patches of colour in mind.
Yes with heat pumps you're 100% correct but right now most of the US north does not use heat pumps to heat their house while the vast majority of the south US does use A/C which is way better per degree of temperature change than say heating oil which the vast majority of New England still uses.

He was the respondant in this lawsuit. The plaintiff (copa) was seeking injunctive relief to get him to stop saying he was Satoshi because he basically goes around the world doing it.
I'm dealing with another common version of this right now. Another contractor (not from my company) had estimated a certain amount of time to fix everything and add some updates to code they had developed. Our mutual client didn't want to renew with them so asked if we could do it. But lo and behold, the deadline was two days from now so the sooner the better. I cut down the estimate by half but said it wouldn't include fixing anything since presumably they were living with existing bugs in production they could keep living with them if the new features were the priority.

I did say that we would have to pay the piper eventually and that this rushed timeline would mean we would miss things and that it was only possible if we had everything in place to do the development work. Things like access, correct data, properly setup environment etc.

Of course we started development and had none of those things. I did get it out on time according to my shortened estimated. But then they discover that they absolutely do need some fixes and that the assumptions the dev team had to make because we didn't have real data were wrong so the whole thing is delayed by about as much time as the original estimate but there's a whole bunch of hand-wringing and people thrashing about because of "slipped timelines".

And I knew this going into it. No one ever hears "But we will have problems I just don't know what they will be" They just hear "I can get it to you in 3 weeks"
There’s tons of prior art in Law saying that And and Or are the same thing and can be interpreted interchangeably based on context.

Also note that obesity isnt unique to the US and applies to pretty much the entire developed world, it’s just that the US is pretty rich so “worst” in the trend. But take a look at UK or Germany or France obesity. It’s also high and trending up.
Probably not, because if you're looking for a Facebook sized opportunity, well, there just aren't many in real life. So, perhaps a good time to look outside of that community for jobs? It's not easy, and it will take time, but it will happen.

This depends. SaaS software with a sales window you need to make is way different than random software that doesn’t really need to go out at a certain time.

Certain industries may have a few month sales window, and missing it could cost many millions against competition.
Couldn't the same argument be made the other way? With your line of reasoning, why even bother finetuning a model for DEI? After all, it's just a generative model, not a world model.

I use Resolume professionally in my job building and operating LED walls for live events. I have a rackmount custom PC with a 4090 in a shockproof road case with popout monitors. One important skill is being able to map content onto multiple video walls. For example at a volleyball charity event I had a jumbotron with 4 walls where I needed to put camera shots and sponsors and also 2 walls on the side for a live charity donation and tournament schedules. I use resolume to route all the video signals. It's actually 1 4k screen sliced into 6 screens.

This doesn't sound like the conventional definition of sociopathy (you still have empathy but act against it, feel guilty) but psychopathy (innate, lack of empathy)

Britain did bad stuff around the world and our GDP productivity / hr figures are dog shit compared to France. So if you want that productivity directed towards saving the world, it would still make sense to look to France or Germany for inspiration on how to harness it more effectively.
The evidence for Adam Back being Satoshi Nakamoto is pretty damning. Notably, he developed Hashcash which was the predecessor technology, has a mysterious gap in published papers during the period of bitcoins development, was heavily involved in the cypherpunk scene, and founded/runs the company Blockstream which does a large amount of development work on Bitcoin core.
So again, why HTTP3 is pushed when HTTP2 was meant to be the holy grail? Seems that even Google doesn't consider HTTP2 to be so great.
Well said. This can go even further by defining JavaScript code as functions in a sheet. For example, if someone pays you back, you click a checkbox in the corresponding cell, and it runs your code to send them a thank you email.

> For time, US teachers will only spend 6~7 hours of their day with kiddos. So using up to two hours of that for lunch eats into a huge chunk of the short day (some of which is already more recess!).

By what norm is this a short day? Here in the Netherlands, standard elementary school hours are 8:30-15:00, minus about 1 to 1.5 hours of lunch+breaks, with Wednesday only 8:30-12:30. So on average barely 5hr/day. Anecdotally, schools days in other European countries (DE, FR, UK) are not much longer.

> What are the vacancy rates in the smaller cities and rural areas?

Also not amazing. Many have fled the cities to purchase properties in rural areas, which drives up the prices there too. This is particularly pronounced in Canada.

> What are we doing to utilize the vacant units by bringing jobs to those areas?

Bringing what jobs? You're going to move a company HQ to the middle of nowhere? You're going to move manufacturing there? Be serious.

> Should we just concentrate everything in a few major cities and leave everyone else behind?

"We"? These are municipalities with their own policies, and people go where they want. If they want to make a life in the middle of nowhere with few prospects, they are welcome to, but you cannot force people and their businesses there to satisfy some notion that it would make their lives "affordable".

Did anyone mention parts authentication? Regardless, you seem to have answered the question you raised. Concepts like parts authentication and secure boot are great in theory. The immoral part is their implementation. They're designed to wrestle the post-sale control of devices away from the customer and consolidate it in the hands of the manufacturer. Besides the subversion of the concept of ownership itself, this leads to increased cost of device ownership in many different ways.
Concrete sequesters carbon from air. In its lifetime, it is expected to sequester all the carbon associated with its emissions. And of course, concrete lasts much longer than any timber structure even in idealized conditions for timber.

And concrete industry is innovative. R&D is being done how to reduce emissions associated with kilns.

Concrete will long be zero carbon before forestry becomes sustainable. We have massive deforestation everywhere to prove that.
2. How do I produce consistent characters throughout the "comic box" and episodes?: controlnet "reference"

3. How do I hint the generation of the comic? E.g. I draw a stick figure of someone sitting, and it generates my character with that pose: controlnet "open pose/sketching"

4. How do I "refine" some parts of the generated image. For example I like the generated character, but I want the face to look different direction: inpainting

It's still basically impossible to get perfectly consistent character features across multiple images/without a massive amount of effort. These models have been trained to generate single/standalone images.

Maybe some of the Sora related tech (where it generates frames in parallel/each frame has the context of every other frame) for coherency can be used to improve the plain image generation stuff as well, ie being able to specify a character with multiple views (3/4, back, front etc) so that you can refer to that character in your prompt.
