I think that there's value in in-office work, if you can build up the proper work culture. Sadly, it seems like that culture has been lost, and it's going to be a long time before people rediscover it.

Have done a couple of sleep studies, no apnea, but snored terribly. (Have snored my whole life)

During the studies they had me try a CPAP, none chance I would ever be able to wear one. I have a strong gag reflex.

I've worn a number of mouth guards, all fitted by my dentist. I wore them for about 25 years. Absolutely noticed the change in my bite, but was will to put up with it to allow my wife to sleep at night.

I've now changed out to device that holds my tongue. Much less stress on my jaw and works just as well as any of the mouth guards.

Matrix is not better than IRC. It is in some ways much worse. While I get that IRC has not exactly aged well, Matrix' performance and reliability problems are much worse than the very rare netsplits.

IRC sucks, but it can be made more or less tolerable with things like IRCCloud or Lounge (or tmux+weehcat if you happen to prefer something like that), but AFAIK nothing can help with the poor performance and the unreliability of Matrix.

While Matrix developers have finally acknowledged the problems, they have run out of venture capital, and have hard time getting any funding to fix the protocol, clients and servers.
Your post is rather grey but I don't see anything fundamentally wrong with what you're saying. I have yet to see any practical application of doing AI on a Mac, it all seems to be hobbyist stuff for the most part.

> upping hardware specs for Windows 11 for no good reason

This could very much be the main reason for this transition to succeed this time, more than any ideological points. In October 2025 millions of perfectly good computers will become obsolete. Windows 10 reaches end of support and Windows 11 won't work on other CPUs and mainboards without TPM. And everyone will have a choice to either throw them all away and purchase new ones, or to start paying Microsoft a yearly fee for extended support.

I don't think we ever saw this kind of forced upgrade with so little benefits for the end user. In 80s and 90s when upgrades were more frequent a new computer was substantially more powerful than the old one and you were very much looking forward to upgrade. Not this time though. If your 10 old computer has SSD, 16+ GB RAM, and 4+ core CPU, for many use cases it will be as powerful as the new computer. I can easily buy a cheaper new computer that will be worse than one of my 10+ year old higher end machines - less storage, less memory, etc. Sure, if I buy higher end it will be much better for video encoding and few more tasks, but for general office use or even development there won't be much difference.
Branching the whole database (data included) seems really great. Congrats!

It does seem a bit pricey though. For $69/month (Scale), I could rent a dedicated server with 8 dedicated CPUs, twice the RAM and 20x the storage (and that's physically attached NVMe in raid 1), and have money to spare:

True, that can be a useful solution. But you have to be careful; when I was running a UK-based company we had to get lawyers to carefully draft the contract so that it fulfilled the requirements to be truly B2B and not be something that would be deemed employment. I would expect the rules around that kind of thing to be even tougher in France, if anything.

What about the argument of using the AI to create an outline? Surely spelling has no effect on the outline if you understand the concept? The outline isn't being published, it's just the author laying out their thoughts on a topic that they're claiming to have some authority in.

If the author cannot outline their ideas, even with bad grammar and spelling, do they actually understand the concept?

No one needs 32GB, the same way no one needs a MacBook Air: you could very well lug around an iMac or a tower PC if you don't actually need macOS. That doesn't stop me from being annoyed at the arbitrary market segmentation that Apple enforces to get me to buy one of their "Pro" machines just because I want more memory, thereby sacrificing the portability of the device for slightly better thermal management or a CPU with better performance.

Also, in the past, I could have bought the base device and bought a couple sticks of memory to upgrade the memory. Now, I cannot do this because of anti-consumer decisions that apple made to prevent user upgrade of memory. The least they could do is offer me the possibility to pay their inflated price for more ram.

If you’re aiming for EU compliance you’re going to need to host the data within the EU and only have EU staff have any sort of access, like running support on it. Microsoft is exempt from that last bit for some reason, but they are Microsoft so they probably cheat.

Won’t be a lot of EU enterprise that will be capable of using your services without rather strict compliance. Which may or may not be in your interest but you might as well just be up front about it. With the way EU is heading in regards to data protection it may not just be enterprise organisations either by 2025. Those compliance laws are getting stricter and stricter by the day.

> A helicopter can't go from flying to transport you in a highway

Yes and no. In some EU countries, helicopters accepted to land near highway, and pick up (or disembark) passengers just like ordinary taxi.
Also there very typical case, helicopter landed near Gas station to refuel.

Generally, strict restrictions exists on flights over large cities, but over rural area and over big water, regulations easier.
Even so, if in large city exists big river, aviation could flighting over it with very easy restrictions.

If nature is the source of natural rights, then you would expect their violation in nature to be an exception rather than a rule. If it is instead the rule, then what even is the meaning of calling it a "natural right"?

The problem with all the philosophers you've listed is that they were, essentially, arguing towards a predetermined conclusion, which is that the way they wanted their society to be is also the "natural" way for it to be. It should come as no surprise that this mode of thinking is prevalent in humans regardless of which specific religion or philosophy they espouse. You could also mention Confucius etc.

But then when we look at those people, we find that, aside from the very few things that can be easily backtracked to the aforementioned biological constraints, they rarely agree on anything. The very fact that human morality has varied so extremely over different cultures, and even in the same culture over time (which people often underestimate based on pop and folk history, I should add), is yet another piece of evidence that there's nothing "natural" about all this.

For the purposes of this conversation, "reason" as a term means what people today, in the society that we live in, understand as such. I'm not interested in sophistry.

Ask HN: Those who have recently undertaken a job hunt, what was your experience?
Hi all,

I am getting ready to start searching for a new position and am wanting to move from a hybrid position to fully remote to offer some flexibility with familial obligations but but I'm not entirely sure whether or not that's a realistic goal in this job environment.

Recently I've seeing some sentiment that suggests the job hunt process for us in tech has been improving, and that recruiters are starting to reach out more often than in the last year. If you've recently switched positions, what was your experience like and do you have any advice for those who are currently looking to change positions? For those that have gone remote, any specific insights?
Strongly disagree. Having stored telemetry has helped me debug so many things.

Yes but their primary target audience is... Teens and young adults and maybe some p.dos looking for "ASMR sutff" if you now what i mean.

What that target audience have in common... tons on times and low to zero income, so since they have time to spend trying to not pay because they don't have money to begin with, then it will happen.

Twitch is betting on having a "YouTube moment", when those teens and young adults become adults with real money, they would love to avoid the hassle of going ad-free for 10 bucks a month because they love the content that is there, so for them would be at max 1 hour of their total income, meanwhile it has to stuck taking the loses till that moment happen.
Honestly I think our society as a whole would leap forward 200 years if we just sent all the marketers to the moon, but I'm biased. I find all sales people generally irritating for similar reasons. It seems like you just have to lack a certain amount of humanity to take on that job.

> A 5W laser can cut steel

I've experimented with using a 60 W (I think*) laser on a small steel bracket, and even with the beam holding on a single point for a minute, it made a barely visible dot that you couldn't feel by running your finger over.

* It was nearly a decade ago, but I looked up the relevant hacker space and unless they changed the model, it was 60 watts.

The bracket was around 1cm by 5cm, and around 1mm thick.

> I don't know how much control the streamer has over this kind of thing, though.

Quite a bit. As long as the streamer is running 3 minutes of ads per hour there will not be prerolls. Ad breaks can be run manually or on a configurable schedule, and scheduled ad breaks can be snoozed for 5 minutes (up to 3 times I think) if they arrive at a bad time.

You can't stack preroll free-time for more than an hour though, so you don't get 5 hours without prerolls by running 15 minutes of ads at once.

It really isn't fair to ask that, it makes no sense.

Religion and a lack of societal understanding (largely fueled by religion) is a very easy explanation.

More people today feel safe coming out or even know what being gay is.

It is being a fairly regular thing that people are discovering their sexuality at a late age due to society telling them they need to be a certain way so they conform.

There isn't anything sinister or suspicious about people actually being who they are when society doesn't keep telling them they are wrong or sick.

Your statistic is severely flawed because those are specifically people who are out.

We have known for a long time that sexuality is a spectrum, you may consider yourself straight but that doesn't mean that you are 100% straight. I mean I consider myself gay but I can still appreciate when a woman is very attractive. Doesn't mean I want to sleep with her but I am obviously not 100% gay.

Sexuality is complex and we are finally being more open about that.

I think people are reading OP's comment wrong. They said "abhorrent to more Republicans" and "fine with more Democrats", not 'more abhorrent to Republicans' and 'more fine with Democrats'. The entire point is that support should be less correlated with party.

A dictionary is only one small piece of translation. Dutch is linguistically very similar to English so it's relatively easy to learn and translate. Something like Russian is far more difficult because it comes from a different language family and uses a different writing system. There is a treasure trove of Russian journal articles which have never been properly translated and represent something like "scientific dark matter". LLM translation tools can help a lot to make those more accessible.
