This strikes me as a pointless refactoring of baking because it mostly serves to make the engineer feel smart.

When engineering is applied to cooking, it usually looks a lot more like Kenji Alt-Lopez and his peers when they refactor a recipe to produce a classic dish without any superstitious steps.
Oh, nostalgia.
Soviets were pretty happy with aiding the Nazis when invading Poland though. Until the Nazis turned against them.
Why do you need the cryptographic signature? Who needs to know that I was the original owner of a tea kettle 7 years ago that has been sold in a yard sale twice?

Absolutely nobody.

Having an actual UPC (which coincidentally stands for "Universal Product Code") that is globally unique would be extremely useful. Further if all the parts were listed in the UPC (so it could be easily sold for parts, or even if I was looking for part abc123, I could find what products it is in), would be far more useful than caring who owns it.
It truly blew my mind that UBI took off like it did back then. It's literal socialism with a different name.

The whole thing is going to be a lot to wrap our collective heads around. It will not be an easy path. I mean, my family escaped communism. I felt dirty as heck writing "redistribution of wealth" in my previous comment.

The funny thing here is that we are at a period in the history of capitalism where it has succeeded so wildly, that it's about to make it's core societal tenants obsolete.
Florida spends a ton on environmental projects. Significantly more compared to other “blue” states.
There's some instructions on their GitHub page that should point you in the right direction: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch
That's called a "consignment shop". It's existed forever. Doesn't mean it's a bad idea. Taxis have existed forever and Uber is still a massive success.
I think it's still the same "uncanny valley" phenomenon: because the body looks more like a human, we are more creeped when we discover how it moves its joints because we were expecting something more human. We wouldn't be creeped by a car/robot moving its wheels in weird directions, but we are with a humanoid robot moving its legs that way.
I agree with you, but what I was getting at was that if you're just going to print the parts for the entire run, you aren't constrained by the issues like draft, etc. Obviously, if your run is 10,000,000 pieces, then you have no choice, but if your run is <100,000, you might be better off making different design decisions and just getting more printers.
They set out to build a superior alternative to GNOME. What I see is functionally just another GNOME.

If this was all it's going to be I don't understand what the point was.
> Pet peve: I don't like superlative descriptions. They're often counterproductive, because they call for a rebuttal.

Pet peeve: People who HAVE to rebut things like superlative descriptions. They're always counterproductive, because literally nothing actually called for a rebuttal. It clutters up the conversation much worse than "well, actually" corrections.
You may want to supplement Chicago95 with an experimental GTK4 theme from the b00merang project https://github.com/B00merang-Project/Windows-95 You will have to install it manually by overwriting your user-level GTK4 config, but then it will give you proper styling with the latest apps, including full support for mobile UX 'convergence'.

(Since it seems that the b00merang repo has gone mostly unmaintained, it would be nice if it got imported to Chicago95 itself.)

Old media was profitable without a need to track users. Everyone saw the same ads. With a sufficiently large readership, and advertisers with mass market products, I don’t see why targeting is needed.

If I’m Coca-Cola advertising with the New York Times, do demographics really matter? Their target market is everyone, so the only thing that should matter is how many times the ad is seen.
High energies, about three orders of magnitude higher than the LHC produces. (If you squint.)
That's heavily locale dependent advice. This is not something you can do without it getting reported and treated as trash everywhere, and in many places you'll just anger your neighbours and inconvenience the municipal trash department.
Why the Stockmarket Is Disappearing
The problem is that it really depends on your stack/application. A score pretends to be an absolute frame of reference to work on, and this is hardly reliable to assess real risk and impact.

A CVSS 10 on several internal services with all user input being filtered may be substantially less risky than a public facing component using a library with a CVSS 2.5 depending on your application and vulnerability.

The only correct way is to assess risk is analyze how you utilize each component and determine if your application would run into the issue to begin with. This work cannot be hand-waved away with a simple number despite this practice being the hot fad in cybersecurity.
If it gives Bytedance the incentive to produce app that are less harmful to our mental health, i'll switch to it overnight. Good bye to all the metacrap.
Or you tackle a commercially interesting problem first and fund the research to tape out more efficient chips in cooperation with ASML and NXP.
I just listed several as far as I'm concerned. I don't see it happening as a Y Combinator Silicon Valley ad supported startup. The best I can imagine right now is to pitch the vision and have standards bodies and industry groups collaborate on the standard and then maybe find some place where the government can dictate "if you do business with us, you have to use this tech". For instance using the receipts for tax deductions. Give a preferential rate for digitally signed receipts to pass back the cost savings of not dealing with paper. And then hopefully it grows from there.
I regret getting rid of it while moving to a new house. Even though the screen had turned green-ish it still worked. Had the newer Wiimotes, balance board and all that. Miss it terribly. The Switch is good but Switch Sports is not the same. No planes to fly, no mountains, Showdown, etc.
I'm kind of astonished that worked.
Do you ask them to participate? Many companies don't, because they don't want anyone but yes-men that will agree to the plans around.
It's more that I'm suspecting that you're thinking that the first post-WW2 decades were something "normal", rather than something that might not be achieved on this planet ever again ?
Say your problem, say you want to use CBT/Positive Psychology/Phenomenology (pick one).

Play along with it, I had some pretty eye opening moments during Eidetic variation of Phenomenology, but that was me personally. I think CBT/Stoicism may be able to help people who havent been corrupted by Nietzsche-like ideas.
Usually when OpenBSD does something it's because there's a clean implementation.

OpenBSD is very seldom the first to actually do something; but they focus on making their code able to be understood by a single person.

Doing things is hard, doing them in a way that is clear, obvious and "simple" is even harder. So when OpenBSD finally manages to do something that others may have had for a while... it's a cause of celebration. Because if the implementation was a clean one it would have gone in much sooner.

Does Moldova still have the highest number of grape-picking-by-day guerilla-raiding-by-night brunettes per capita?
Yes, I have a degree in pharmacology from a University which had both pharmacy and pharmacology courses. There were maybe 2 shared modules in the first year and that was the only similarities in the courses. Pharmacology trains you to be a research scientist, pharmacy trains you to be a clinician (or an over-qualified shop assistant as we joked).

This is absolutely crazy. And it'll only get better from here. Imagine "VASA-9" or whatever.

I thought deepfakes were still quite a bit away but after this I will have to be way more careful online. It's not far from behind something that can show up in your "YouTube shorts" feed and trick you if you didn't already know it was AI.
Gambling was already regulated though, extending that to digital gambling isn't a stretch. There aren't regulations that I'm aware of that fit for specifically what the EU is doing here.

We can always add more regulations, though there's an official process to it. There is a line though, and while I absolutely see value in some regulations given how complex we've made society, a government with full authority to deem what is and is not appropriate for any specific group of people is extremely heavy handed.

I don't actually want to give social media companies the benefit of the doubt. People shouldn't use that trash and parents should be helping their kids decide if those apps are actually something they want to use. If people really see the value in that kind if app, though, we only avoid the problem rather than fix it by banning apps or limiting access from the top down.
For that you want orchards.

(my understanding is that number of vineyards has a lot to do with inheritance customs/laws: in areas with equal inheritances the vines get parcelled out smaller and smaller each generation; in areas with primogeniture the fact that some lines die out means vines concentrate into larger and larger holdings — compare how small villages wind up having but three or four surnames)
Maybe because software weren't considered as dangerous and addictive as they are now back then?

Regulations evolve because societies evolve.
WELL AKTUALLY

look at the website Efficiency Is Everything. Your 'factually verified' has been debunked in like 100 different fast food studies.
That's the thing though, in the civilised world, if you see something like this in the hands of a child, you'd assume it's a toy.
SeL4 on AArch64 is now verified for functional correctness
Weird idea. It first denies causality by claiming it's impossible to observe (what is obviously ridiculous to state as a general rule), and then tries to redefine it as an emerging property (where does it emerge from if you have no ab-initio rules?).

That idea probably appeared from a very specific context. It possibly makes sense on that context. But generally stated like that, it makes no sense.
We are saying the same thing. I'm saying that someone is a foreigner _not because of the color of the skin_, but because they are identified, in a way or another, as a foreigner, and put in one or more of the outgroup.

The whole Black IQ question is focusing on the skin color not because the skin color in itself is relevant, but because the Black IQ question wants to focus on foreigner and that the skin color is an easy way to do that without admitting it. And it is 100% consistent with what you say: in the Black IQ question, what the people who give credit to this theory refer to when they say "black" is NOT including southern Indians with equally dark skin. It is the proof that it is not about skin color, but about racist prejudice against African-Americans.

Then, yes, of course, there are several outgroups, and racism applies differently depending on the circumstances. There is obviously an entanglement between past history and recent history, but I don't understand what you are trying to come to? That the Black IQ question is because some people hate some people while these people are being totally neutral on the skin color? So why is the Black IQ question regrouping people based on the skin color as a proxy for a specific outgroup?

For the element where I say that some black-skin people integrated for generation are still way too often classified as foreigner, this is not contradictory to anything you are saying, and I doubt you can just say it's incorrect based only on few examples, as I have few examples where it is the case (the same way you cannot say "it is not correct that some cats are white because I can give you examples of non-white cats": as soon as I've observed white cats, my sentence is validated, and the fact you haven't seen any does not change that. If it exists some black-skin individual integrated for generation that are seen as foreigners, then it means that what I'm saying is correct)

TL;DR:

People are not racist against some other people fundamentally because they have a different skin color (this would be a very ridiculous assertion). They are racist towards them because they are identified as an outgroup. Then, the skin color is used as one of the proxy to classify other people in this outgroup (and other characteristics can invalidate this classification even if the skin is dark, this is why black-skinned Indians or very tanned white people are not often classified as black).
I mean the actual kernel. But, you know, needs a killer feature people want to deploy at scale.
CNCF WasmCloud 1.0
From all the Musk simping, I’m gonna go on a whim that a lot people here didn’t read the verdict. At a minimum, I recommend the first handful of pages. It explicitly talks about why the judge voided this. Musk made a boat load of money to begin with from the valuation appreciation. The question was, does the extra 56B provide required incentives for Musk to do his job. The answer was determined to be no, he already owned over 20% of the company. In addition, the board was not doing its job to protect its shareholders since the board has heavy personal vested interests and relationships with Musk.
I hear this kind of “it exists because it has to exist” thing from non-bioscience types a lot. Essentially, this is just a tautological statement.
I'd really would rather not see the government or ISPs wielding the power of censoring us or companies through backdoor tricks like throttling network access.
The year of the linux desktop is closing in! :) Well its good that they are working on it.

It's not rationalizing to state a fact. We buy what we want. I don't need a faster phone or a faster Mac. I'll take it, yeah, but that's not why I like the product

Apple Silicon has just made performance another perk

* I'm not an Apple fanboy and really wish they hadn't lost their soul in exchange for being a multi trillion dollar company. But I do appreciate that their hardware is way more affordable than it used to be (eg $699 M1 MacBook at Walmart)
But not peanut butter :)
> A 30kb font file kinda website is probably gonna serve a 2Mb all up web page

Where's that ratio coming from? Shipping fonts is just good practice when you want your website to look consistently on all platform, it doesn't mean anything else about how the website is made.

Also, 100kbps is a very slow connection, it's 2 orders of magnitude less than the 10Mbps you talked about earlier, and when you have this kind of very poor connection everything is kind of slow anyway (even the very barebone HN's front page is 120kb!).

Catholic Charter School Draws Ire of Charter Advocates
Not sure if you meant to say that, but I do believe you should do what you like and can in this short period on earth. Whatever that is and if it doesn’t hurt others, do it please, it doesn’t matter anyway.

However, almost all people I know that are over the top healthy (measuring everything, doing some sort of ‘du-jour’ diet (all meat, no meat, all protein, no protein, extreme fasting, no fasting; etc; ‘the best way to live’ changes more often than JavaScript frameworks), a lot of sports) are addicts to it or do it because they believe they will get a lot older than others (weird to me as many spend a of time doing stuff they don’t like; why would you want to lengthen your life in that case, but ok).
I especially liked the restaurant ad on the right. Prime rib special with all the extras for $7.95.
That is exactly the economic reason this idea doesn't work. Pawnbrokers know the value of things and how much effort they can invest in any one item. Selling anything they won't take yourself usually means that you'll have to invest a fair bit of your time to sell it. Anyone doing this commercially can't afford that labour unless the item is worth at least something like €100!
> and I have to say, reducing the friction of getting rid of things without just mass-dumpstering them would be a godsend

Yeah, that's a big problem with modern consumerism: with money to spend, buying stuff is too easy compared to the effort to part with it later.

Although if you 'have' to move fast, there's companies that specialize in house clearing (as another poster noted). Some thrift stores also do this, provided the resale <-> trash ratio is acceptable to them.

Ask HN: Call for Help for an AI Engineer
Hey fellow HN people!

This is a call of help for anyone who is reading this.

I am currently an adept Python/AI engineer having 7 years of experience currently working Remote for US company.

Recently, a close family member was diagnosed with a relatively long-term illness for whom I need to be a care member. Despite this I am able to give 60-70 hours to my company as I work on Saturday-Sundays as well. The current job-scene I have is an up and coming startup and I want to transition to a more stable and robust job even if it means I get paid low.

My ask is are there any opportunities for AI/ML/Data-Science engineers who might need someone with a stable team. I am not looking for the FAANG tech salary and I am ok to work on Sat-Sun.

The only thing I am looking for a is a stable job with fair compensation that uses my skills well.

Thank you for reading!
That's interesting, but might lead to even more population decline in the long term. But, that might not be that bad actually. I mean 1B on earth in 200 years might be perfectly fine.

Along similar lines, I wondered about generative AI and how legally, it's not able to create copyrightable work. I really like that, it makes humans necessary for the creation intellectual property. Maybe in the future, each child born gets some allocation of AI agents when they turn 18, and the fruits of the labor of those agents would be assigned to that adult?
It's a complete ecosystem with design and functionality being consistent and on par.
Any kind of large-scale change will have some specific people dying compared to the counterfactual of not making the change. To assess whether the change is benign, positive, or negative, we must grapple with both the positive and negative impacts.

For example, I could wave a magic wand today and fix climate change, saving millions or billions of lives. But since I did so, some granny slips on a patch of ice next winter and dies from the fall. Without my magic wand, she would have lived.

Now, I don't specifically know who this granny is before I choose to wave my wand, but as a thinking individual I understand that some such granny must exist. In fact, there are probably many grannies who will die as a result. Would you argue that waving my wand is not a positive change because specific people exist who will be harmed?
Sneakernets! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sneakernet

But I also never fully understood why an enterprise would pay so much money to give their data of this size to AWS to manage. It’s so much more expensive. If you’re at the capacity of needing a semi sneakernet, it would be far more cost effective and competitively advantageous to manage it yourself.

Wait what? There are very different requirements when it comes to reading system widgets and actual text! (like we don't use the same kind font for code and prose).
The most horrifying thing has been being an adult and seeing how terrible medical doctors are at diagnosis (of my kids).

If there are no objective measurements, do your own research and get second opinions. Maybe this works because I come from a science background.

Heck today, I'm getting closer and closer to trusting ChatGPT4 over a doctor. My wife has used it to help diagnosis patients and 2 of them had life changing success. (okay hold up before my keyboard warrior pals think we are using chatgpt4 like a magic 8 ball, closing our eyes and showing the patient the response. No it dosent work like that)

I mean, sure, but the value proposition of a slow simulation containing slow minds is a little dubious, isn't it? It would be neither cheap nor useful, so why would it be made?
yeah, i find all a incredible work. Right from the design and building, so many moving parts and variables it looks like some kind o "alien" work to me :D, amazing.

This is too much of a burden to ask. All reputable media announced that they accepted the case and this is a widely known and accepted fact. That they accepted the case is my only claim. It you found something interesting from the court documentation it is on you to bring it forward, not mearly to claim something is a large body of work may be favorable to your argument. You are just muddying the water. This is the tactic of those on the loosing side of an argument.

Not transparent at all on visible light wavelengths. Light transmission in metals obeys the skin effect, which means that AC fields (such as the fields in light) do not like to penetrate deep into the material, and the skin depth for visible light wavelengths in most metals is expressed in individual nanometers.
