I mean, the main value proposition for Kagi is privacy. They need to be really focused on maintaining trust when privacy is their brand. I won't condemn the company based on some out of context quotes from the founder, but those screenshots weren't reassuring either. Not paying taxes and focusing on adding AI to your search doesn't make me more confident that they're protecting my data. It makes me more likely to think "someday they will need a little cash infusion to keep the lights on; at that point they'll begin to consider collecting my data and selling it".

That is a different form of abuse from if only the rich could afford to bid. I think it is overall worse (see my other reply) - but I'll freely admit there may be some abuse I'm not aware of that makes my current alternative worse.
The US has one of the highest square footage per capita of housing in the world. So maybe less underbuilding and more of a misallocation of the square footage.

Because the local industry has lobbied harder for less stringent measures, that is why. It's not rocket science.

I think you're getting at the root of the issue. The problem isn't that the perceived probability of a revolution is high, it's that people are accustomed to that being effectively zero, and it's not perceived to be effectively zero any more.
Curious then to hear your thoughts then. If a person can't afford "vacation" what incentives do they have to take them then? Fundamentally you're saying that vacation days should be used like sick days.

So in reality the only people who can afford to have a real vacation are the ultra rich? So people like Elon Musk who feel like the world owes them attention because they are richer than any of us combined and have this constant need to flex that wealth to "own the poor" are okay?

Meanwhile these same rich people will have a heart attack if you so much as dare ask for a living wage that adjusts for inflation. How dare you take away their hard earned money? Right?
I read that too when it happened.

It's worth mentioning regarding the IFoo example that in a single project you can always just find/replace FooBase with IFoo or even FooBaseV2.

No. The Nvidia A100 has a multi-lane NVLink interface with a total bandwidth of 600 GB/s. The "unlocked" Nvidia RTX 4090 uses PCIe P2P at 50 GB/s. It's not going to replace A100 GPUs for serious production work, but it does unlock a datacenter-exclusive feature and has some small-scale applications.
Compensation is often coupled with revenue generation - not skills.

Teachers generate no revenue.

Compare the compensation for big tech software developers vs those employed directly in public sector. Its not that public sector are less skilled, nor less in demand - but rather public sector doesn't generate revenue and its budget is a different path.

I would contend that this isn't "teachers and public sector software developers are necessarily poorly compensated" (though I will say that teachers should be paid more) but rather that the revenue that is coupled with a software developer in the private sector is disproportionately high and so companies in that domain can compensate more highly.

The control of teachers salaries are based on what funding the school district gets which comes from taxes. The public tends to prefer low taxes and models which do not allow tax dollars collected in one spot to be used in another which depresses the compensation for everyone in public sector (including teachers).

Unless you are at or near the top and have control of the budgeting, rarely will public sector pay on the same scale as private sector.
Oh thanks.

I'm aware of that, but I didn't realize "boil out" (turning all to stream) means something different from "boil" (to just heat to reach boil point or rolling boil).
The government sets payscale 'tiers' based on qualifications / roles, and these tiers determine the minimum you're able to earn once you obtain an H-1B or PERM. the employer is still able to work w/ the lawyers to get you to fall at a lesser paying tier, and also offer no further growth/compensation as they have no incentive to-- regardless of performance or structure.

Source: My exact role and bulk of responsibilities are valued at at least 2x; but given how difficult it is (for me, at least) to transition out given the job market, I have no other option but to stay or simply leave the country.
It’s worth mentioning that each country develops its own AQI scale, so comparisons between countries are meaningless.

I adverse using metrics for value people, while I do not adverse metrics per se, as a companion information for statistical purposes. The issue with metrics used for something it that they became a target, not a measure anymore. They push toward conformism, witch happen to be antithetic to innovation.

Using metrics to understand at a large scale what happen, if a method work or not, where to improve etc might be useful and harmless. Using them as a way to prize or penalize have regularly very bad results.

The ancient quis custodiet ipsos custodes it's equally valid for metrics, who evaluate those who design the measure?

In cases where they're around a blind corner waiting in ambush (not behind those secret doors), it's often possible to sort of preempt them by shooting lasers so that the bolt(s) on one side just barely go around the corner. Since the lasers go from the edge of the screen towards the middle, you can shoot into a place behind a corner that you can't see.

Since getting hit makes the robots lose their ability to shoot (or move) for a brief, sub-second moment, you can use that to kill them without getting hit yourself despite their ridiculously quick aim and hitscan weapon.

Even if you don't know exactly where they are (or whether there even is anything behind the corner), you can start shooting that way around a corner preemptively and slowly and progressively slide around the corner until you'll be actually hitting them or seeing that there wasn't anything there.

Of course if you don't know where they are, you'll have to be doing that preemptively at lots of corners just in case, spending energy which can also be in short supply on higher difficulties. It also means you basically have to creep carefully around corners a lot. And it doesn't help in other kinds of cases.

I agree that those robots were frustrating when I played through the game again after years some time ago. Interestingly, I don't think there are hitscan robots in Descent 2.

Yes, that is exactly what they are doing. Going for "insignificant" settlements, and shift the real costs to the taxpayers.
The pushback you're receiving is likely due to saying "every company".

Didn't expect something relevant to what I do to show up on HN. This has been a hot button issue for the last two years ever since the Markup did a report on hospitals sharing data with Facebook[0]. Since then the government has explicitly called this out as a problem[1] and a number of hospitals and related companies are dealing with fines and lawsuits[2][3][4]

Given the government is actually enforcing the law for once, this is one of the few times I've seen people take regulation like this seriously.

Wouldn’t the same apply to Lori in that exchange. They just put the company on blast and aren’t willing to even hear the other side of things. That email exchange made me lose a ton of respect for them.

But, Vlad definitely should have stopped when Lori responded that they didn’t want to have a conversation at all. If for no other reason than they were a lost cause.
As a person with bad ADHD and years of experience on and off adderall, I have no clue how anyone can claim that the stimulant ADHD meds don’t genuinely get you high. They indeed are not physiologically addictive, but can be easily relied upon mentally because of how good they feel.

“Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.”

Per wikipedia:

The observable universe contains as many as an estimated 2 trillion galaxies and, overall, as many as an estimated 10^24 stars – more stars (and earth-like planets) than all the grains of beach sand on planet Earth. The estimated total number of stars in an inflationary universe (observed and unobserved) is 10^100.

IMO, a trillion is a number the human mind has trouble conceiving. We understand it only in an abstract sense - if you try to imagine what a trillion stars looks like in front of you, or a billion, or a million even, most likely you're imagining at best tens of thousands. 10^24 is orders of magnitude more abstract:

This might get down voted, but here goes. I agree that the Nix documentation can be confusing and even contradictory at times. I agree that there is a steep learning curve to getting started with Nix and NixOS. However, I do not think that Nix has ever claimed or intended to be a tool that can be used easily by everyone.

If the ideas seem pointless and confusing to you, that's fine, don't use it. There are bunch of great package managers and linux distros that will probably suit you better. But, if you see the need for declarative package management, then Nix is for you.

I'm a phd student in computational science. I use a bunch of different packages on my computer and I need to know exactly what I've installed and I do not have time to debug problems from dependency hell. Nix and NixOS have been two of the most interesting and useful tools I have every used. Not only have a gained huge productivity boost from having reproducible environments and declarative package management, but I've thoroughly enjoyed the process of learning these unique tools that, for me, are leagues better than any package management system I've used in the past.

If it didn't work for you, I hope you find a tool that suits you better. But that doesn't mean its bad. It might just mean it wasn't intended for you.

That's a great way to keep the raccoons out!

If I make a big pot of soup in the winter I will cool it down outside before putting it in the fridge. That way it gets down below the zone where bacteria grow much faster than if it were inside.

From an energy perspective it would be better to put it in the fridge so the heat would be removed by the fridge and stay in the house rather than dissipated outside but as far as I know the heat would also end up in the other goods in the fridge causing potential spoilage. It would be nice to have some kind of remote chiller pot hooked to a heat pump that would just pump the heat out of the soup and into a cold room.
I'm surprised that The Muppet Show was well known outside of the US and Canada.

Very possibly, but there would still be an "origin date" from the first prosecution. It may not be known, of course.
Bazel would be so much better if it used Nix instead of Starlark (and had anonymous build targets).
World-first "Cybercrime Index" ranks countries by cybercrime threat level
Dates honestly terrify me. I am already in a panic state over not having some sort of alternative timekeeping system than the jumbled mess of date formats and interacting with time zones and unix time is simply unreadable, i wonder if the concept of dates should even still exist anymore. When a global org says "get this in by tomorrow" that could be as little as 4 hours away or 20, and i have to go do math to figure out what people even mean.

Abstracting it even further into NLP is even scarier.

I don't have a solution I just feel deep pain about this as a remote worker dealing with logs and timestamps and who is where, there has to be some different way.
For the, for lack of a better word, standard radiators there is a formula with a dT^4. But I totally agree, this isnt all that straighforward, given that for the dozons of installers, experts and home owners I have spoken, Ive heard dozens+1 methods for estimating. Estimating heat loss from a given building and estimating power output of a given installation of radiators, very few people seem to be able to calculate that.

If your heater can go low (mine bottoms out at 50 unfortunately), by far the easiest is to just test.

I agree. It is fascinating. When you observe his development process (btw, it is worth noting his generosity in sharing it like he does) he gets frequently stuck on random shallow problems which a perhaps more knowledgable engineer would find less difficult. It is frequent to see him writing really bad code, or even wrong code. The whole twitter chapter is a good example.
Yet, himself, alone just iterating resiliently, just as frequently creates remarkable improvements. A good example to learn from. Thank you geohot.
GA has both income tax and sales tax (and property taxes way less than Texas'...). A recent statewide proposal is considering capping home assessment increases at a set rate, pegged to inflation — until the house sells to a non-family owner.

Anyone who followed the death by 1000 cuts that was the Bernie Sanders campaigns will understand this. It was all documented for anyone curious. Corpo Dems made it painfully clear they would have preferred Trump over Bernie, and in fact even intentionally elevated Trump with the failed "pied piper" strategy among other things. Furthermore, the DNC confirmed in court they have the right to install any candidate they want, should their death by 1000 cuts strategy fail for some reason.

Which doctors you go to and what types of specialities you search for can tell a lot about a person. Oh, did they search for mental health clinics? Or dialysis treatment? Or abortion providers? Or gender reassignment surgery? Or vasectomy providers? Depending on where the widgets are placed, they might could tell when your appointments are or what messages you send to your doctor through their clinic's website.
Indeed. Everyone I've spoken to seems to be convinced that clearly, something has to change, house prices must drop, but the reality is, there's too many people for too few houses, and unless that changes housing will always continue to become more expensive.
The unfortunate answer is: love them or hate them, people can't pass the leetcode interviews

I've worked as a hiring manager in multiple companies, and recommending or not recommending a hire is done without any knowledge of their status, but solely on the 45 minute interview I did. If they need some sponsorship thats done without communicating to me, I just say yes/no. And with that, somehow most of the Yes's need sponsorship, so what else can you do from an interviewing perspective

As in the cold end of the heat pump is inside the heated area of the house? That feels very weird. On the other hand with heat pumps, stacking multiple stages strategy isn't necessarily a bad thing! All inefficiencies are not really losses but merely resistive heating contributions (unless their heat escapes to the final cold sink aka outside) and in the end the real question is which configuration is good in terms of capex and maintenance.

In an environment where getting rid of humidity is a concern (mold!), a "cold end inside" heat pump for water might even double as a dehumidifier, with water condensing on the cold end sent to the sewers, contributing a little energy in the process.
In Germany visa applicants are evaluated based on merit without a lottery for decade and it's working well. US could do something similar instead of using a hole in the fence but it doesn't look like the decision making system is capable of making hard decisions like that.

Back in their home country they are probably expected to work those same hours (or more!) for a lot less money. By our standards it is exploit, but often for them it is better.

The medias (I really don't think there is a singular "media" as everyone seems to) certainly can make quite a bit of money off this situation, but I was taught as a child by a particular religion that Democrats are demons who want to kill babies. I am not exaggerating nor am I particularly young; that is to say that this is not a recent development. When the indoctrination has reached that deep, I don't believe there really is any coming back. But yes, as I say to myself many times a day now, I am so glad I don't have kids; there is vanishingly little of this world I would wish to share with them.
