This is great if you've already adopted Nix, and I'd love for nothing than more declarative package management solutions like Nix or Guix to take off.

If you're already using Docker but want to gradually adopt Nix, there is an alternative approach outlined by this talk: https://youtu.be/l17oRkhgqHE. Instead of migrating both the configuration AND container building to Nix straight away, you can keep the Dockerfile to build the nix configuration.

The biggest downside is that you don't take advantage of layers at all, but the upside is that you can gradually adapt your Dockerfiles, and reuse any Docker infrastructure or automation you already use.
I have argued a variation of this so many times before. There are a lot of feedback loops amplifying noise in software job markets. It's terrible for everyone involved.

Myelin does a lot more than just make longer axons possible. For instance it might have impact on learning and memory [0]. It’s cool that yet again our cells have co-opted useful genes from viruses long gone similar to how a very defining feature of being a mammal (the placenta) relies on a virus gene[1]

Biology is just fascinating.

Interesting, but how to square this with the earlier report [1] saying that one of the pilots had told a passenger after the incident that their instruments had blacked out during the incident?

They do not cite [1], a paper on (learned) variable computation in RNN, applied to language modeling, that predates their work by almost 8 years.

Microsoft also had something alike at that time, but for image recognition: a CNN at input and then varable computation at classification.
I'm not sure what you mean. There's definitely an M2 Air and an M2 Pro.
Wayland provides little by design, so this is quite typical. For example:

Screensharing is handled by pipewire [0], changing keyboard layouts aren't defined [1] by wayland, and generally anything Wayland devs think would 'corrupt' their protocol.

They leave most things to the compositor to implement, which leads to significant fragmentation as every compositor implements it differently.

Long gone are the days of xset and xdotool working across nearly every distro due to a common base, now the best you'll get is running a daemon as root to directly access `/dev/uinput` [2] or implementing each compositors accessibility settings (if they have them) as a workaround.

Do we have to waste just for the sake of wasting?
It's definitely not as big as those in terms of surface area. But it's quite spread out and what counts as the "center" is a very loosely defined notion that is actually quite large compared to all those cities.

There's a ring of sbahn commuter rail around the center. From east to west that's about 16km and from north to south about 10km. Anything inside that could definitely be considered as the center. Walking east to west would take about three hours or so. You'll pass through a lot of interesting neighborhoods, each with their own little centers. You'll pass lots of landmarks. The former east and west berlin "centers" are about 9 km apart. A lot of the traditional landmarks and hotspots are spread out throughout that zone. And then you have a lot of gentrified spots that are becoming hotspots in their own right.

I use the word center loosely of course because there really is no such thing in Berlin. It's all spread out over a huge area. There are probably about well over a dozen areas that can lay claim to being a center of something. And frankly, most of the interesting bits are outside of what the tourists flock to these days.

Outside the ring, the city continues in pretty much all directions for quite some distance. And some of those areas are quite nice as well. But most would not consider that the center. I've lived here for about fifteen years and there are huge parts of the city that I've simply never even been to because it would take like an hour plus to get there and there isn't much in terms of landmarks, etc. to draw me there.

Technically Berlin is actually a city state (within the federation of Germany) that includes the capital and a few suburbs. Total population is still smaller than it was before WW II (3.5M people vs 4M people then). So there's a lot of open space, huge parks, two decommissioned airports (Tempelhof, Tegel), etc. all within the city limits. Tempelhof is huge. About 2km by 2km of open space in the middle of a big city with two decomissioned runways. It was the site of the cold war air bridge. You have Kreuzberg to the north, Neuköln to the east and Alt Tempelhof just outside the ring on the south west side. And that's just one corner of the city. All in former west Berlin.

The population is growing for the last decades at a pretty decent rate (about 50K new people per year or so). But it will take some time to catch up to pre WW II era levels.
Netflix Is Rethinking Employee Freedom, a Core Tenet of Its Vaunted Culture
I'd argue that reversing those changes would require a grass-roots effort to stop consuming so much cheap garbage. If people bought American and demanded high quality products, American manufacturing would benefit.

But also - I think the 1950s-80s were a complete abberation in which working middle class people could afford a better lifestyle every year. Not "every generation before" ours could afford a house and two cars on a factory income with a pension. Really only one generation got that, and it was mostly due to winning a world war that left us the world's only major supplier of everything, able to project military power and gobble up all the cheap oil and raw materials. Previous generations had no such thing. My grandfather grew up without indoor plumbing. He also worked 12 hours a day. He couldn't afford a modest house until his late 30s, which was after the war. Go further back and look at the stock bubbles and robber barons of the 19th Century. The wealth and pay distribution we have now is closer to historical norms than anything in the 1960s was. The major difference is our baseline quality of life is higher in the sense that everyone can afford a cheap couch (if they want one). I have to think economically like my grandparents, not like my parents.

People like my grandparents built this country by saving and sacrificing their comforts. People like my parents, boomers, got an incredibly easy ride. Now their kids expect it to be that easy. But cheap money can't go on forever, and it's cheap money and a two-car suburban family lifestyle that did all the environmental damage of the mid 20th Century that we're still trying to slow down or reverse.

tl;dr saving and buying the better couch is a more effective means of changing the status quo than complaining that everything is harder for our generation.

Right - I used to work in GS and they had this really great internal table display tool where you could simply drag a column from the top to the left side and it would Pivot + Collapse all fields on it (plus allow multi level pivots). Then, you could look at the Pivot table OR do a drill-down to see the root-cause why a value was so high.

I really liked that interface and haven't really found anything near as useable yet. Perspective JS (a free library by JP Morgan, you can try it here: https://perspective.finos.org/block/) has some really cool functionality in this direction but it has its one data processing engine, query language, rendering engine etc so we couldn't have used that for this project.

But, this is an interesting thought - I definitely would want to see this functionality in Pretzel - the only question is how to prioritize this. If you know of any performant table libraries that support collapsible pivots out-of-the-box, I'd love to integrate that. Alternatively, we'll write our own!
ChatGPT suggests “36 blazes, 61 lazes”.
No one said they do. The article provides no background or context from which one could conclude an implication that "a group should not do something because it has not been done before." He didn't say that. The article attempts very poorly to imply that meaning. You've created a dummy to punch and you're punching it. Unfortunately this is all too common. It's called a straw man fallacy.

>FTX was unregulated. The people giving Bankman-Fried

They were giving money either as donation - regulated, or as payment for services and goods - regulated, or as deposits - regulated, or as investment - regulated. Probably the only way it could have been unregulated if it were as gift, which it obviously wasn't.

>he ran a lightly-regulated private fund.

and everybody thought that he is "lightly" (if it can be applied to tens of billions of dollars) cheating like front-running or something like this, and they let him that "light cheating" for years and tens of billions of dollars until the crash.
It's entirely plausible that 1) the passenger misheard, or 2) the pilot made an excuse to cover up an embarrassing blunder, or 3) someone is lying.

The Man Who Knew Infinity is pretty good, more accurate than some of the others on here. It focuses on Hardy (Jeremy Irons) and Ramanujan (Dev Patel).

It's not perfect but far better than others I've seen, like A Beautiful Mind, which I found painful to watch all those years ago.

I guess it depends on where you draw the line on what is a humanoid.

Yeah but publishing videos of humanoid robots is proven to pump your car company stock to the moon. If Mercedes can also buy a cryptocurrency and a social media platform they're golden.

>Raise wages?

No no, you see we need open borders and visa free uncontrolled migration so companies have the upper hand and get to pick and choose whatever they want from the world labor pool until they find complacent workers on their terms, instead of having to pay locals competitively. Otherwise it's considered a labor shortage.
i am open to share my experience with bitcoin investment and losing

money to scammers. However, yes it is possible to recover your stolen

bitcoins. I never believed in bitcoin recovery because I was made to

understand that it was not possible. However, sometime in October I fell

for a forex scam which promised overly high returns and I ended up

losing close to $55,000. I searched for a month for help until I finally

came across an article on reddit in regards to recovering stolen

cryptocurrency so I reached out to them (IBRAHIMFINLEY8 @ gmail, com) I

was so scared and skeptical because I have heard of bad experiences but

I decided to give him a try and to my greatest surprise I was able to

get all my stolen bitcoins recovered from the scammers within a very

short time frame.

Seriously.

No one is going to buy your pseudo introspective book no matter how many cinematic cover photos you take. These articles need to stop.

There was another article that came across the same way, with this guy claiming humans don’t have “free will” but if you wanted to see any of his scientific “research” it just so happened that you also had to buy his book. Publications need to stop giving these attention seeking narcissists their supply for the love of god it’s becoming unbearable.

Pretty sure I do. I just want comprehensive rules that are publicly and readily available from the get-go, I want total transparency on behalf of moderation, and I don't want hidden actions only available to moderators. Further, I'd like all moderator actions to be publicly auditable.

Something like reddit has hidden moderator actions, shadowbans, is not auditable, and has hidden rules that only some users are subject to. HN is probably the closest thing to my ideal forum but I'd like algorithms to be publicly viewable and dang's actions to be publicly auditable.

I read some paragraphs of that link, and was interested to see that in a lot of places, there is a lot of repetition of the words and phrases, with appropriate variations.

I am guessing that it was a technique that was used to reinforce the learning by the listener, similar to how the Vedas and other ancient Indian scriptures were passed on by making the student repeat them a number of times and memorize them, because they were no modern things like books, and maybe even palm leaf manuscripts came sometime later. That's what I've heard, anyway, from parents and relatives.
That would empower labor and reduce profits. Now hear me out, what if you could somehow transmute labor into capital? Then you could actually _own_ the labor and retain _all_ the surplus value generated from it!

Precisely this! Posting something to Facebook is not like talking on the telephone. It is like writing a letter to the editor of a newspaper. In both cases, a moderator reviews the content and decides what to publish. In the newspaper’s case, it takes a long time plus manual review, and in Facebook’s case, it’s automated and nearly instant (with follow-up automatic or manual moderation). But the mechanic is the same.

Same on HN. When I hit the “reply” button now, I am requesting HN to please post this comment, but if they don’t want it here, they are well within their rights to nuke it.

It was a minor point re: this claim:

> Values 0-255 take up one byte, 256-65535 take two bytes

If you wanted to encode more than 256 values, then at best you'd be able to specify values 0-254 taking one byte, e.g. if you used 0xff as a special prefix to represent "use another byte for all other values", but that particular encoding means that you'd only be able to encode another 256 values with a second byte.
