The EPA themselves defined "new use" with regards to PFAS as any manufacturing or process not ongoing as of and after 2015, as cited in the ruling:

>In response to growing concerns about PFAS, the EPA proposed a new SNUR in January 2015, “designating as a significant new use manufacturing . . . or processing of an identified subset of [PFAS] for any use that will not be ongoing after December 31, 2015, and all other [PFAS] for which there are currently no ongoing uses.”

>The proposed rule also made clear that the SNUR would apply only to “any use not ongoing as of the date on which this proposed rule is published.” Id.

So not only are the EPA aware of what Section 5's "new use" language means and tried to twist it during enforcement, they ignored their own very specific definition to try and regulate Inhance.

That is what the courts are telling to EPA to stop doing. The courts are ordering the EPA to cite the appropriate law and write appropriate regulations following due process first, otherwise known as Section 6, in order to regulate Inhance and their fluorination process which the court reaffirms is something the EPA can do.
I always have my phone in my pocket. My billfold is stored in my car, and I do occasionally forget to put it in my pocket when going in to a store. Plus my billfold is thicker than my phone so it's less fun to store in a pocket.
The Quote from the FAQ explicity says "anonymized API calls". This is obviously mean that they use official API provided by these providers. And that is part of the reason why they have some high per search cost they have to cover.
Goodreads statistics don't add pressure. They take it off. This article assumes that reading is a chore.

If I notice that I'm falling behind it's because I'm not taking enough me time. It's so easy to get wrapped up in work, research, deadlines, grants, students, etc. Then you burn out.

Reading stats are a way to keep that at bay. And even better it's cumulative and I can't cheat. If I've been really busy this month, I have to make even more room next month to catch up. That space gets filled with afternoons where I relax, sip tea, enjoy the view, read, learn something new, get a new perspective, or just live in another world for a while.

What an awful take on life and reading.

These must be paid shills. While it's actually quite understandable why real people and businesses would want to use and recommend MS Office, no one in their right mind actually thinks Teams is the best video chat tool in the world. Any serious business uses Zoom, Slack, etc.

Because the absolute amateur hour of Microsoft using null IV in cryptography (ZeroLogon) and telling you that "it's all fine trust me bro" certainly works better. Yeah. And this isn't the sole example of sheer incompetence from this company, we got like 4 decades of stupidity to go back to.

My kid had kidney failure and had to have a transplant, so I'm not just opining.

I think we should let people sell kidneys under the same conditions as we, say, legalize prostitution. Which is, when we have a guaranteed minimum income.

I really don't want to live in a world where the poor have to be the organ banks for the rich--just to survive. If we guaranteed that everybody could have a decent life WITHOUT having to sell their organs, we could experiment with all kinds of things, including an organ market.
Well, I've pivoted to cyber defense for a reason. The executives are hopelessly overwhelmed with anything related to APTs. In their minds, criminals want money and if there's no money to follow, they can't do squat about it.

I'm not sure how following the law is partisan. Also your claim that the intent/spirit of the law is to not have the EPA perform a cost-benefit analysis before regulating these processes is wrong in any event. There is no way to claim that something explicitly written in the law is against its own spirit. I'm not familiar with European law but I bet even they would not accept that claim. If we could really decide all environmental laws based only on if they meet the goal of "regulating harmful materials for the benefit of public health and the environment" then congress would have just written that one line and be done with it. Instead they wrote that a cost-benefit analysis must be performed. That is the intent of the law because that is what it says. That is, if we can remove any statute based on some unwritten goal of what the statute should achieve, even if it is explicitly contradictory, then there is no point of the law at all.

You don't even have to repeat the diagonal argument. There's a one-to-one correspondence between subsets of the natural numbers and sequences of elements from {0,1}. The i-th element is 1 if i is in the set, otherwise it's zero.
California and Washington are amongst two of the most regressive tax systems in the United States.

Yes. I should have framed the issue more carefully: Are they as efficient as Windows' Active Directory and Group Policy? It's a bit of a hard-to-define question, and not many people have the experience to answer it.

I've seen plenty of deployment and configuration management tools that definitely fit the definition - those are easy to make - but were inefficient for one reason or another; that's the hard part.

One major advantage of AD/GP is the market power of being the tools for the dominant corporate OS: Every application vendor who hopes to put a toe in the corporate market makes their product work with AD/GP, including GPOs (Group Policy Objects) that provide the settings to manage their product, makes sure they work sufficiently well (at least they have incentive to try!), and supports them. If they don't, then corporate IT usually won't give them the time of day - it's a job requirement; their 'resume' goes in the circular file. Given Linux server share, I could imagine some good tools there.

A secret of IT management - the difference between what even highly skilled hackers do at home, and IT administration - is that the time resource is highly constrained; it's the most valuable asset and you spend it very carefully. You don't have nearly the time to do everything you need to do; you certainly aren't spending it trying to make some application work with your Linux config management for purposes of - what? your FOSS hard/wide-on? what is the big ROI here for this major project that you're going to bring to the VP? - and do it over and over again for each application. It's not even a consideration.

Hamas is armed with pretty fine weapons including the latest AKs you can't even get outside Russia, Dragonov sniper rifles, RPGs etc. The attackers on Oct 7th were very well equipped, comparable to most modern military's infantry. This story about how primitive their weapons are is at least partly a lie.

The environment they operate in neutralizes a lot of the IDF's advantages. Dense urban, many civilians, tunnels. You can't bring F-35s to bear if you have battles inside your own towns. It took the IDF about 3 days to recover from the initial attack including scenes like tanks firing into Israeli houses.

There are a lot of Israelis with military background that claim that the Oct 7th attack wasn't far from being an existential threat. Hamas was planning to connect with the west bank and also to proceed much farther into Israel than it managed to. There were some heroics e.g. from the police in stopping that on the roads leading out of the south. In combination with a land attack from Hezbollah in the north that could have been a scenario that has some probability of getting 10's or 100's of thousands of Israelis killed at the very least. It's hard to imagine but then Oct 7th was also hard to imagine.
The eBPF code runs on the game server not the client. Cool story tho
This is hard to argue. 10 USD can be a lot of money for poor people, especially those in less wealthy areas of the world.

I've recently trialed Kagi, was happy with my first 100 searches, so I went for the 300 option for 5 USD/month. Unfortunately, I used that up pretty quickly. What I often do is start a search, then do a better query. And so on. I went back to DDG (though I never see adds w/that).

It is unlikely I will stick to it though. I hate having to log in in private browser mode, and for me it is worth 5 USD/month but not 10 USD/month.

Btw, the dog is hilarious. And I don't even like dogs!

English is terribly imprecise, so it makes sense to use pseudo instructions to improve the bounds/outcome of a language model’s execution.

I do wonder how long hacks like this will be necessary; as it stands, many of these prompting techniques are essentially artificially expanding the input to enhance reasoning ability (increasing tokens, thus increasing chance of success).
I see this sentiment sometimes, but I disagree. I have excellent credit score and several good rewards cards, despite never spending more than $10k/yr through them. I'd say someone making $10k/yr is dirt poor and yet they too can have a good rewards card.
Yes, and one could imagine, at least for a while, an escalating arms race better detectors and people developing prompts capable of inducing responses that circumvented the detector. Still, it seems the only safety approach with any hope of working if you are shipping systems that can learn at runtime, and of course future systems will become much better at this (full online learning, not just in-context).

Oh yeah, no objections on the principle: DisplayPort is awesome.

The regular DP connector is fine because at least it locks in (sometimes too well), and MiniDP has been pretty great (especially when chaining multiple monitors on systems that support multi-stream, so anything except Apple).

I do have a love/hate relationship with USB-C, mainly because you need to double, triple, and quadruple check that the cable actually has all the wires in it for DP and not just USB 3 or even worse, USB 2.

In a perfect world, HDMI would be a historical artifact. In the current world, it's sadly a necessity for big TVs or many gaming setups :(
First this:

> 8 or 9 digit revenue

Ok, HN loves the "digits" stuff. To be clear, "9 digits" can mean: 100,000,000 all the way up to one billion minus one. BIG difference. Let's assume 100,000,000 for now. Also: No currency mentioned. Indonesian rupiah? Euro? Japanese yen? It makes a big difference.

> I’m talking about teams in the hundreds of developers

What project in the 2020s needs "hundreds of developers" (again: that implies 200+) and only generates maximum of 100M revenue? This sounds like an awful business of: it cost 200M to build, but only makes 100M revenue.
I don't follow. Jumbo loans exist now even without support from F&F, why can't smaller loans exist without F&F? F&F are not some charities, they make profit on their mortgage business. If they did not exist what would have prevented another firm taking over the same business (securitizing mortgages)? I mean, there are plenty non-conforming loans, which are not jumbo, written right now. It's just hard to compete with the F&F on the conforming loan market so nobody does that otherwise there is nothing magical about conforming loans.

I think you're making distinctions that artists themselves don't make, and underestimating how much they can be financially motivated. The most surprising example I know is illustrated by this apocryphal story:

"...someone visited [Picasso's] studio, stood in front of a painting for several minutes, and asked Picasso, 'What does it represent?' Picasso replied without hesitation, 'Two hundred thousand dollars.'"
kinda, the article mentions that certain cards allow you on certain categories to get more than the interchange rate. what they don't mention in the article is that square charges the same fee to the business whatever kind of card is used, in this case whenever you use an amex card it's less profitable for square. If i were using a more traditional processor they may pass this cost on to me.

also milage reward points can hit as high as 2.3 cents per dollar so assuming i want to fly to japan with ANA i could in theory get 8.6c in value of MR points per 2.6c i charge myself. However i would not expect to get away with this and i'm sure square would figure this out.
It’s only a problem because they’re US companies. I don’t hear anyone complaining about how a few companies (Bayer, Syngenta, etc) basically controls the food supply (seeds).

I like your retort. It is well written.

One nitpick: Using RAID, can you construct a massive single disk mount from JBOD? It seems possible in 2024 to create a 300GB continuous mount. However, your point stands: For most real world scenarios, anything larger than 10TB is probably unreasonably large for a single-file SQLite DB.

> Most of the rest of the text only serves to beat around the bush

Thank you for saying that outloud. This person goes on and on. It is like the YouTube talking head videos that are 45mins, that could easily be cut to 10-15mins!
I understand how you can read it that way. But that is not my intent, and clearly also not true.

There are plenty of rich people who are happy to keep everything in their own name, and just live with the risk. Most of those people turn out OK.

Some percentage make the news everyday as having "lost everything". Keeping everything together mean's it all stands and falls together. A bad decision in your business means the loss of your house.

So no, I'm not saying people who disagree with me are poor. I'm saying that rich people who disagree with me have a higher appetite for risk than I do. I'll work for 40 years, I'm not prepared to lose all that accumulation in year 39. Good structures remove that risk, which is something I'm happy to pay for.

Of course this hinges on your definition of rich. Perhaps you think a billion makes you rich. Or perhaps a million. Or perhaps 20k. It doesn't really matter. Whatever you have you can decide if you can afford to lose it all, or not.

Of course by the time you have a million you have a financial advisor, who will be advocating for the same risk reduction. Which is why this approach may seem tainted to you. I'll never have a million, which is why I'm not going to risk what I do accumulate, losing it would be painful.
I understand both perspectives. The premise should be questioned, a correct amount. "Do not question our premise" is a weird take.
Thank you for taking the time to bring the average level of discourse around here down yet another level.

Back in 1994 or so, the standard installation routine of SuSE Linux offered playing tetris on another virtual console while waiting for the installation to finish. Still being used to flaky DOS 6.22 combined with Windows 3.1 on my i486 machine, I was completely blown away.
It's just a dude retweeting a substack. I wouldn't bet against it* but I wouldn't bet on it either. His tweet would have just linked to the article in the top comment.

* I used to crusade against this rumor because the only source is that article, and people repeating that source. But I imagine it's a no-brainer given they have enough users that they essentially get a throughput bump 'for free' even if the model weights are huge, i.e. better to utilize as much GPU ram as you can muster, the cost of needing more GPU ram is offset by the cost of being able to run multiple inference against the model all the time anyway
I am referring to booking flights on Delta through KLM. Since the airport I’m referring to is a small regional airport in south GA with only two commercial inbound flights a day both on Delta, of course they are overpriced for a 50 minute flight.

I don’t have a choice if I want to fly to see my parents since that’s the only airline that services their airport.

But a more popular route I take is from Orlando (MCO) my current home to my former home Atlanta - a Delta hub. Those flights range from $100 to $175 one way. Again by booking Delta flights through Virgin (a UK airline) is 7500 points making the Amex points worth 2 cents each. If you want to fly direct to or from Atlanta, you’re going to fly Delta more than likely.

Profitable? Yes (as in making more than spending on it), but nowhere near enough to work on it full time. Successful? I think so? My first breakthrough project!

New connections? Yes, I got reached out to by some companies and individuals and had and still have conversations about it with folks interested in the tech. Also made me invest more into learning B2B after initially building the product as B2C.

Didn’t help with my career per se but opened a lot of doors in case something doesn’t work out with my current career.

Definitely a huge spike that I haven’t hit again. But the project isn’t dead.

Fixed-rate 30-year mortgages don’t exist, except for the very rich, in most of the world. The unsubsidised price of the instrument likely collides with popular conceptions of usury.
