You could definitely feel little pops/tingles on your fingertips if you touched the screen. A little while it’s on, but even more strongly immediately after it turns off and the fields all collapse.

But also, hair itself has no living tissue or nerves within. You can feel hair standing on end because it’s anchored in your skin, which does have nerves.

I don't know if this is mentioned in the article because I didn't bother to read it, but the kitty terminal emulator has a number of good extensions on the terminal protocols including one for keyboard handling[1]. This has recently been implemented in Alacritty and I now use it as a basis for an experimental terminal editor focusing on keybinds rather than modes.

Interesting claim, is there data to back this up? My impression is that Intel and NVIDIA have always gamed the benchmarks.
Sadly, upgrading to Debian is anything but simple. For home users, sure, there's rarely anything keeping them on Windows (I'd say adaptive equipment, but Microsoft's breaking that kind of thing faster than their new dedicated team is fixing it) – but in the corporate environment…
United States invaded Iraq (under false pretext of WMDs) and Libya and currently illegally occupies parts of Syria. Doesn't that make it a colonial empire?

Russia could argue that it has legitimate national security interests with Ukraine becoming a member of NATO.

You are correct, even though it is understood that obesity can lead to other serious health conditions. One approach the Apis Bull is taking is to trial GLP-1 drugs as separate meds for treating other conditions like heart disease, kidney disease, etc. Unfortunately, creating a library of GLP-1 drugs costs significantly more than having a single one for treating the underlying problem.
Does it matter if they are the same? If they have an inventory of engines that get rebuilt after launches but enough that they do not need to delay launches, it's good enough for my use.

It's similar to a NASCAR race. They pretty much tear those down and rebuild after each race as well, but it's the "same" car.
It seems like you are implying that lies in "marketing quotes" are not real lies? I don't think that this is the case.

In the rest of your comment you repeat the claim that I was responding to, that all the correct information was in the contract. You seem to have ignored the two key caveats I made: that their contracts might be compliant now, but they probably weren't before they were first investigated. And secondly that they have demonstrably lied extensively outside of the contracts themselves. Lying to convince someone to sign a contract which of itself is truthful, is definitely fraud.

Perhaps you don't understand "the hidden finance charge" because you don't understand regulation of consumer credit. When you buy a car, the dealer has to show you numbers breaking down what the cash price of the car is, and how much you will pay in interest. This stops them tricking people by eg raising the sticker price and telling you that the credit is cheaper than it is. This isn't a guideline, it's a law. And the numbers have to be presented in a way which is not obscure or misleading. Scott Tucker got 16 years for this.
> at odds with the desires of their patrons

I doubt that at any point if they asked their patrons and got honest answers, saving time would stand out as a large desire.

What is another problem with metrics, they measure an specific thing that is often very different from the one you think you are measuring.
A person (or a company) can be two very different things at the same time. It's undeniable as you say that there have been a lot of high-profile open source innovations coming from Facebook (ReactJS, LLaMA, HHVM, ...), but the price that society at large paid for all of this is not insignificant either, and Meta hasn't meaningfully apologized for the worst of it.
Bit of a nothingburger.

The whole point of world-check as a service is that you can access it. This is not exactly info locked away in a vault.

Sucks for them as a business and perhaps some interesting connections/stats can be gleaned from having the whole thing as a unit for analysis...but meh.
well, yes, but they are only tracking what content i watch or read, they are not what ads i see and whether i click on them (since there are no ads). so it is slightly different. and this tracking of views also happens equally in the free version.

free = track content views + track ad views and clicks.

paid = track content views only

the privacy implications of tracking content are different from the privacy implications of tracking ads, especially because ads can track across different content sites in ways that pure content tracking on eg youtube or netflix can not.

the problem is that the ad tracking gets shared with the advertisers whereas content tracking mostly doesn't get shared as far as i can tell.

imagine how people would react if it came out that youtube or netflix would share which content people watch. we just had a discussion about this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39808994
You surely seem well-informed on this EU matter when you reply to my comment about a non-EU country!
There was a lot of violence in the school I went to growing up. We had kids bussed from jail. The idea of suspension is 1 get the kids and parents attention and 2 to get the kid out of the classroom. Minor discipline problems should be handled differently but at some point you have to remove disruptive kids from the classroom for the sake of everyone else.
Early in my work life I had a job on the UI side of things.

Watching people use your app behind a 2 way mirror was probably the most illuminating thing ever. Users from outside the tech bubble have a very different take from most of the HN set. It influences how the look at, use and think about applications.

You can watch 7 people DO the right thing and then tell you, out loud, that it sucks for the same reason. Every app is filled with problems like this. If you aren't testing with "inexperienced" end users you are likely missing a LOT!!
Yeah, I think Meta is the reason LLMs is widely available to everyone instead of reliant on something proprietary
Also curious that the letter was from May, before the start of the 1984 hurricane season. Per Wikipedia, 1984 did go on to have the highest activity since 1971, while 1983 the lowest since 1930. But 1983 caused more damage with Hurricane Alicia crossing Texas.

The Texas drought reference does appear to be accurate. https://www.nytimes.com/1984/10/16/us/crushing-drought-in-te...

How's HDR support these days? I'm super excited that it's getting close, but I really like my colors vibrant, my water sparkly, and my metal surfaces shiny -- so much so that I'll reboot into Windows if I have to. Is HDR in the "can work with a modest amount of off-roading" phase on linux yet?
This appears to be an overview article, just touching on a lot of subjects. Not a deep dive of any particular one. If they gave all the details of every idea in the article it would be 10x longer.

I would think for the 'deep dive' with details and citations, they want you to buy the book. This is just a teaser.

In general you can swap B for GB (and use the q8 quantization), so 8GB VRAM can probably just about work.

How long does a territory has to be part of a country for you to recognise it?

We all now the tricky political situation of Taiwan but sometimes some people seem to lose all sense of basic reality and facts about it.
> Use tabs for indentation and spaces for alignment

The pains is, most website or editor never handled that well enough. You end up have mixed tab/space at unexpected position and never knew about it.

Just banning the tab is probably not the most 'correct' option to fix it. But it is the most feasible one to get the job done. Because fixing all the tool, editors and websites is nearly impossible for an average man.
Quickest way to get an answer from GPT
Is there some reason why these records should not be public? Making them public would lead both to greater accuracy and their more widespread use keeps criminals out of the financial systems.
I don't think I have ever asked anyone to post an archive link, but it did take a couple years of passively waiting for someone to deploy that magic before it occurred to me that I could probably figure out how to do it myself.
>but in general they are far more hands off in their curation of boards.

This is exactly what RapeApe did with /pol/. Because 4chan is less transparent, it feels like there's no curation; especially when what stays on the board feels like "board culture". Would infinity-chan and other boards would exist if they did their current style of moderation of silently deleting posts instead of moot coming out and openly lambasting gamergate?

4chan moderation used to be way more visible, especially under moot, because moderators actually openly interacted with the board. Now that moderators are functionally anonymous, it seems like they don't try to influence the boards, when in actuality, 4chan mods are far less transparent.

People once believed 4chan was less moderated because they stopped seeing "(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)", when in actuality they just removed the posts instead.
Does the erythritol in food products come direct from nature? Not according to wikipedia

> Erythritol is manufactured using enzymatic hydrolysis of the starch from corn to generate glucose.[25] Glucose is then fermented with yeast or another fungus to produce erythritol. A genetically engineered mutant form of Yarrowia lipolytica, a yeast, has been optimized for erythritol production by fermentation, using glycerol as a carbon source and high osmotic pressure to increase yields up to 62%.

So I feel like your specific wording is just as misleading as calling it "artificial".

On the other hand I have worked with team mates that just don't communicate what they are doing.
I always got the feeling that they either don't do anything at all or work on things that are completely irrelevant.

Over time I tend to develop a poor opinion of these people.

Communicate what your accomplishments are and why they are important for the business and you will be fine.

Everything else is kindergarten.
That is simply not true. There is no evidence of Hamas systematically stealing aid from the rest of the population. On the contrary there is plenty of evidence showing Israeli citizens preventing aid from entering Gaza and the Israeli military doing nothing about it.

We have evidence of aid reaching Gaza being distributed orderly by the Gaza police (a Hamas organization) and then the police officers orchestrating the distribution being targeted and killed by an Israeli missile. The optics here is that Israel is trying to prevent aid from reaching Gaza, and what little aid gets in, they try to create chaos such that this aid is not distributed to those in need.

For the finance and managing contractors, I use Kimai [0]. It can track your time, manage your customers, projects, your team, expenses and even generate your invoices. I only use it for tracking time, managing customers and projects and generating invoices.

My full finances are stored in Notion 1, this is because I can access that anywhere, and I can use the built-in table functions to calculate my VAT and tax. When I started, I also used Notion as a CRM that I logged customer/prospect interactions with, but that faded out after a while.

That "etc" is doing a lot of work here. The point of OSI licenses like MIT, Apache 2.0 is to remove the "etc". The licensing company gives up its right to impose acceptable use policies. More restrictive, but still OSI approved, licenses are as clear as they possibly can be about allowed uses and the language is as unambiguous as possible. Neither is the case for the Llama AUP.

Taking a moment to thank Mistral for coming through with the open release. In a just world Mistral and Meta would be the ones being decorated with the 'Open AI' medal. For now in AI, if it has 'Open' in the name, it isn't.

I mean, look, I'm not in favor of a shooting war between the US and China. But I'm not as sanguine as you are that it can't happen.
I'm a big fan of various AI companies taking different approaches. OpenAI keeping it close to their hearts but have great developer apis. Meta and Mistral going open weights + open code. Anthropic and Claude doing their thing.

Competition is a beautiful thing.

The pipeline should be working for some games that run in fullscreen, if your monitor's supported. Valve hauled ass getting it out the door in time for Steam Deck OLED.

That being said, there's caveats. You need a well-supported GPU, a super recent desktop, and a monitor that talks the right language. I don't daily-drive any HDR monitors myself so I can't say for certain where it's at now, but a lot of people are confident of improvements this year: https://www.phoronix.com/news/KDE-HDR-End-Of-2023

They aren't free. Autonomy is computationally and sensor hungry, and consumes a lot of power. The moment a platform approaches the capabilities you are thinking of, it stops being cheap and stops being small. All while those drones are stopped by doors, curtains, strong wind, any kind of mist or darkness (unless you use thermal vision, which is $$$), or rain.
Even in a one-person company you don't have to do everything alone. You can offload certain things to other people. For example, you can get an accountant to do the finance stuff for you. There might also be tools that you can buy or rent that take away some of the load. There are lots of tools for building websites and payment solutions for example. I am sure there are planning tools as well. And once you have outsourced as much as you can, if you still cannot manage the load, that might be a signal that you need to really grow your company and to hire people, although there is also the possibility to subcontract part of your work if you do not want to commit to that.
How much does Microsoft make from being able to tie logged-in user behavior to a particular email address? It seems the answer is "a lot," from the ever-increasing hostility to offline/local only accounts.

Every time I have to touch Windows, it seems there's some new, shiny, irritating thing I have to dismiss. I want my operating systems to run things I tell them to, not try to drag me into their clicktrap ecosystem, or randomly reinstall "free to play" games, etc.

I'm aware I can disable this stuff, but I shouldn't have to. And it's annoyed me enough over the years that I no longer run Windows on the iron on anything - even games are "decent enough" under Linux now.
I recently did the upgrade from 1.24->1.28 on a neglected cluster after testing the upgrade in a dev environment and it was honestly not that terrible. It really comes down to having the capability and man hours to manage the procedure. In reality the longest part was waiting for cluster nodes to upgrade to X version of k8s, but the complete upgrade only took 3 weeks of testing and a single 4 hour outage with no loss in processing over the period.

Realistically those workloads being run would have been better suited in an horizontal-scaling EC2 deployment but that was a future goal that never came to fruition.

It’s a little more complicated as the cokes sold in Mexico stopped using cane sugar.

However, Coca-Cola the company realized they had an easy excuse to sell a “premium” product at inflated prices so yes it very much does taste different, just as intended. https://news.yahoo.com/mexican-coke-us-still-cane-sugar-1520...

Personally I very easily notice a difference between cans, plastic bottles, and glass ones. But that never seems to be a concern for most people.
Agreed. That framing is what changed my opinion on it over the years. It's easier as a discussion about what we should allow people to make money doing in our society.

"Freedom of choice" is a distraction from whether we should allow someone to get rich selling the means of addiction and destruction to vulnerable people.
If Starship succeeds, the window of opportunity for small launch providers might be closed since there is no way they could compete. Commercial launch providers without a similar capability could all be pushed out of business. For any new company to challenge SpaceX would basically be impossible. Old companies with deep wallets might still be in the running.

Nah, it's been on and off for decades (since the last days of XP). We are currently in an accelerating phase.

I have no idea why MS oscillates between velocities here. It doesn't seem to impact their profitability or popularity.
Sanity is overrated. When I am overwhelmed I cope best when I manage to work on the things that feel most important at the moment. It causes the least cognitive dissonance. Now, the difficult part is to make the things that feel most important roughly congruent with the things that are actually important- that's the art. The good news is that it doesn't have to perfect.
I’m amazed that in 2022 internet retail was only about 15% of the total [1]. The Dept. of Commerce stats show that Q4 2023 was at 15.6% [2].

I have noticed a lot of solopreneurs take proud in doing everything themselves and do not want to hire and expand. Yes, I get it. I once had a lot of employees and it is stressfull with too much responsibility and issues.

But, you can have 1 or 2 people. or 5. You don't need to have 10 people, or 100 or 1000.

With 1 person you can get 150% more done if you structure it well. Why? That one person can specialize. If you wanna talk about this just find me on my blog :)

There's a difference to being a good chatshow/podcast host and a journalist holding someone's feet to the fire!

Dwarkesh is excellent at what he does - lots of research beforehand (which is how he lands these great guests), but then lets the guest do most of the talking, and encourages them to expand on what they are saying.

It you are critisizing the guest or giving them too much push back, then they are going to clam up and you won't get the best out of them.
Like I said, it depends on your situation. Sometimes a /v1/beta api gets deprecated and causes complete chaos for a deployment. Sometimes your IAC is resistant to these kinds of frequent changes. There's really a billion scenarios.

For reference, I have done upgrades from 1.12 -> 1.28 and most of the time if get into a messy project and I can get away with it, I will just rebuild a cluster from scratch.

> his contributions to ... raising salaries

It's fun to be able to retire early or whatever, but driving software engineer salaries out of reach of otherwise profitable, sustainable businesses is not a good thing. That just concentrates the industry in fewer hands and makes it more dependent on fickle cash sources (investors, market expansion) often disconnected from the actual software being produced by their teams.

Nor is it great for the yet-to-mature craft that high salaries invited a very large pool of primarly-compensation-motivated people who end up diluting the ability for primarily-craft-motivated people to find and coordinate with each other in pursuit of higher quality work and more robust practices.
