This probably varies wildly but in the US (or parts there of) landlines have to work in emergency situations - ie no power. Even if you have a 'phone line' delivered over optical the phone company provides you with an optical network interface device with a battery backup. I keep a landline just for emergency scenarios (also 911 actually knowing where you go if you call them and can't relay your address). Can't get that with no account virtual VOIP services or even rely on the big mobile providers to give you that functionality.
Oh! I've seen it and might just watch it again.
Great if this works for you but honestly I don't find this "easy" at all. The writing style is annoyingly formal and already on page 2 it jumps into "draw the rest of the fucking owl" territory:

>> A very simple example will serve as illustration.

>> Let us think of xx as a quantity that can grow by a small amount so as to become x+dxx+dx, where dxdx is the small increment added by growth. The square of this is x2+2x⋅dx+(dx)2x2+2x·dx+(dx)2. The second term is not negligible because it is a first-order quantity; while the third term is of the second order of smallness, being a bit of, a bit of x2x2.

If "random" implies "contains no information", then it is indeed a bug in anything calling itself a "random number generator".

IMO, as the CEO of Tesla, Musk should have never bought X imo from a business standpoint, even if he fully believes in full speech, because it simply traps him (most of the world has no where near as strong free speech laws as the US).

In India for example, if he doesn't kowtow to the authoritarian trending Indian government in power, he risks sinking any chance of Tesla expanding its marketshare in a democracy critical to Tesla's future.

The same goes for Tesla in Turkey. https://www.politico.eu/article/turkey-erdogan-asks-us-elon-... . If X starts standing up for speech there, this could sink their future plans in another valuable market.

I think the fact that he backtracked on Brazil ( https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-16/musk-s-x-... ) might also show that he also worries about Tesla's future in Brazil.
I think using seed oils as a way to engineer food, both from an industrial and spreadsheet standpoint to achieve various goals has created bad outcomes. Dipping bread in olive oil or spreading butter makes sense. Using some science project canola and sunflower oil blend, probably not so much.

In particular, the vilification of fat and shift away from meats and dairy has changed the way we eat in the last couple of generations. More packaged food, less ability to perform moderate complexity cooking tasks, etc.
I'm impressed with the model's output quality. In some cases, the answers from the 70B model are far better than those of GPT-4.
I have to use Rust and Swift quite a bit. I basically just landed on sending a byte array of serialized protobufs back and forth with cookie cutter function calls. If this is your full time job I can see how you might think that is lame, but I really got tired of coming back to the code every few weeks and not remembering how to do anything.

I think the OP's point was that you can't do cool things when you first start coding or even that you might have employable value early on in your journey, but that practice and experience do pay real dividends and that the field as a whole has lost some appreciation for the transformation that comes from it
> well because they have other priorities and responsibilities in life that make it necessary to maintain a strong work ethic.

It's amazing how many people in tech can't imagine that the same people that can grind med school or IB or big4 accounting or white-shoe law somehow can't grind the same way in tech. Newsflash: the majority of people in FAANG are grinders not "passion coders".

Personally I hate this job but I'm very good at it and it was either law school with my 98% LSAT or tech. I picked tech because reading and writing briefs all day seemed somehow worse.
The growing distrust of authority and institutions is something that really worries me. That is what keeps the fabric of society together and I am not sure what comes after the collapse of previously trusted institutions.

Serious question: why is this flagged?
I disagree with this idea myself. I believe that any compelled action that leads to your incrimination should be considered being a witness against yourself. I realise this isn't the established caselaw, and I already have some obvious potential reasons bubbling up in my mind as to why. For instance how can you give someone a breathalyser test if they refuse? It defnitely creates problems.

That said, I think bigger problems with this standard are coming down the line eventually.
In a physics sense it would happen when the torque applied by the forward momentum is higher than the force applied by gravity - the higher you are above the contact point with the ground, the more torque you apply and the more likely you are to rotate around the wheel.

The lower and further back you can get your weight, the more force you should theoretically be able to apply (being wary of deweighting the front wheel too much such that a hard front brake causes a skid instead)
I used to use open SearXNG instances, but the results still have all the inapplicable garbage in them that I can't filter out. And the results are often incredibly slow. I switched to Kagi because it gave me better results from the get go, and I can customize to block all results from things like YouTube or various poor GitHub/StackOverflow content clones.

Where did you find hosting for SearXNG that costs less than $10/month? I have my own server and I can barely get a public reverse proxy to bypass CGNAT for that price.
Also, SearXNG isn't very easy to add custom "always block these domains" lists last I looked.

i don't believe that washing dishes is the start of a cooks apprentice ship. the story from a dishwasher to the owner of a restaurant is not the average career of a cook. as far as i know you can start in a cooking school and then begin working as a line cook, and work yourself up from there.

washing dishes is a minimum wage job for people without any training, and they are not learning to cook while washing dishes either.

Turing used a metaphor that was appropriate to his time: a tape, an alphabet, and a machine that reads (and writes to) the tape. It is a simplified expression of real machines - but it does not capture the essence of the connection between physics and computer science, because it does not stress the core features of what are required for computation physically, and only presents a simple isomorphism for reasoning about any given computational machinery.

Actually, it had been a while since I read "Computing Machinery and Intelligence" and he does, in fact, speak directly to these issues (distinguishability of states, support for N distinct states not just 2) in sections 3 and 5 [1]. And in fact he notes the arbitrariness of the "tape" formulation. I think my point remains, though, that "The Turing Machine" itself does NOT stress these points, picking only advantageously simple examples of distinguishable states, even if the paper does.

If there was actually a huge harm from consuming seed oils then we would probably be seeing a strong, clear signal from epidemiological studies. So far, the data is ambiguous.
Not in the near future, because compilers will still emit weird code in the presence of UB. The hardware enforces more stuff, and it makes it more likely you'll get a crash instead of the program continuing in a bad state, but it absolutely does not eliminate the general UB or "implementation defined" problems.

How does that affect anything? It still uses 16 bit floats in the model doesn't it?

As someone who doesn't use GPT-4 more than daily, I usually don't use more than $5 a month. You would need to input 500,000 tokens and output 500,000 tokens in order to rack up a $20 bill.

While other countries may not have exactly the same legal institute as the American Constitution's First Amendment, Freedom of Speech is not only enshrined on the Brazilian Constitution but is also a part of the United Nations declaration of Human Rights (General Assembly resolution 217 A) from which Brazil is one of the signatories, ratified by the Brazilian Congress.

You probably don't know it, but international agreements signed by the chief of the executive and ratified by the congress ARE law in Brazil.

I don't think (electric included) unicycles will ever have the same stopping performance of conventional vehicles - the center of gravity is just much further forward than in any two-wheeled vehicle. The requirements imposed by the balancing mechanism limits the possible braking force to how far behind the wheel a person can get.

They can still stop plenty fast enough for most purposes, though, and it's a very natural action compared to almost any other vehicle.

On wheel size - yeah, its the case that the smaller the wheel, the more responsive a unicycle becomes to torques applied by a person's body. It becomes a tradeoff between the resilience of a large wheel to bumps and terrain, and the responsiveness afforded by a tiny wheel (which takes less torque to apply a given forward/backwards force)

To be fair, discourse is an important element of power, because political institutions are held up by norms. This is why even totalitarian and authoritarian regimes will often attempt to find legal precent and jutsification for their actions.
I don't like this.

While I understand the purpose of HN is to have meaningful and in-depth discussion, and simply stating an opinion doesn't really contribute much, this is something which is so obviously bad and gives such a visceral reaction that the negative opinion outshines anything else I could say about it.

I don't like this.
Russia is getting shells from Korea too, though. That's not convincing evidence of anything in particular IMO, except that neither Korean regime is planning to go to war imminently and the Russo-Ukrainian war is eating up a lot of shells.

That said there is a lot of other credible evidence that Russia's defense industrial base (DIB) is ramping up. Russia is in a full war-economy mode, while western nations have many other priorities. Whether they can keep it up, and whether the West starts ramping up more, we'll see.
Please bear in mind that in this particular context, we're talking about Los Angeles. There are few farmers, ranchers, and loggers in rural LA.

Latin America, in general, is a good example of a lack of trust in institutions. A lot of energy is spent working around them to do everything and it permeates society itself, as you can't trust anyone, you have to expect everyone is trying to scam you all the time as you have non recourse if they actually are.

Need a quote from the pilot flying the other plane.
As some others here have pointed out, this blog post somehow ignores the fact that some Linux desktop apps have supported online calendars from all the sources they mention (CalDAV, Google calendars, NextCloud, webcal, and probably Exchange/Outlook) for many years, such as the Evolution app (and any frontend app using Evolution's backend, such as GNOME Calendar and probably some others). GNOME Online Accounts also exposes at least some of those account types. KDE's "Kalendar" supports all of these types of online calendars too.

As the author laments, Mac users have no shortage of great desktop calendaring apps (and if you're not happy with Apple Calendar already, you have to _pay_ for a fancier third-party app? Oh no, the humanity!)

On the Windows side, from what I've seen there's also a pretty good "Windows Calendar" app that comes bundled with Windows 10/11 (I'm sure there are other apps out there too, but anyway those who really "live in their calendars" on Windows are most likely already spending their days in Outlook and the whole MS enterprise workflow anyway). I'd guess that the exceedingly few people out there doing calendaring across different desktop platforms are doing just fine with their web calendar or Thunderbird.

Ok, so what is the problem again? If the remaining core of their argument is that there is no perfect open source app "better than Thunderbird's calendar" on all three major desktop platforms, that's a pretty unreasonably high bar and burden to set for open source developers.

The author's rant then morphs into a pitch for writing a whole new calendaring app with a shiny new framework instead of improving one of the existing apps... and in the end, they include this mention in the concluding paragraph:

> "if the spirit of benevolence (or frustration) moves you enough, send a grant my way — I’ll take on the herculean task of writing this mythical software myself."

I see the author has a Ph.D, so seeking grants and looking for "perfect solutions" is possibly pretty deeply ingrained into their way of thinking... but the world does not need yet another incomplete project that will fizzle out shortly after the author realizes the sheer magnitude of the problem space and burns out (or runs out of grant money).

What we need is contributors to existing projects, not NIH lone wolves with an "architecture astronaut" mindset.
The accusation of virtue signaling is completely non-falsifiable, at least until such time as an organization has documents leaked showing that they actually hate whatever group but are going to openly signal that they love them to increase sales, which hasn't yet happened.

Instead what does seem to happen quite often is that virtue signaling as an accusation is deployed against a very minor and token gesture of vague social progressiveness or some other ethical position on the part of an entity, usually a business, and the charge is levied at them by people who disagree with whatever stance has been taken. It's not hard to draw a line from this back to the rhetoric around various social issues in recent memory, going back to Nixon's famous "silent majority" concept; that most people agree with the thing you think, as a reactionary, but are "afraid" to say it; it's literally the same thing, the leadership of whatever org is criticized for acting in bad faith and invoking whatever cause, because they couldn't possibly just actually believe in it, it obviously must be a ruse.

I apologize if this is more political than HN likes to get, but it's simply not possible to disentangle the phrase "virtue signaling" from specific kinds of reactionary politics. As to why it's now being deployed in a discussion about AI, I don't particularly think it's a 100% rock solid link to it, but it's one of those things, if one sees smoke, one isn't found wrong if they assume fire.

Anyway that was a lot to say it's pointless culture war bullshit, please keep your innocence.

> In that early era men didn't face harassment, lower pay, or isolation when they took on the job.

At least 2/3 of those are not blockers to female representation:

* Women getting paid less than men isn't something that stands up well to scrutiny [0]. I'd say for most jobs I've applied to the plan by the company was to pay women as much or more than me for equivalent work. And when people bring up statistics in online debates any gap favouring men is typically a statistical artefact.

* Isolation would barely be a factor if men saw a high-paid industry they could break in to. It'd be a very secure man who turned down a $10-20k pay raise because they wouldn't have enough community. In fact, judging by the HN vibe, most male programmers are unhappy that their job involves too much community and want more WFH jobs and isolated offices.

Harassment would be an issue though; it is a constant problem. Although I'm not really sure how to compare it to other industries, a good looking woman faces harassment risk pretty much everywhere.

First I would make sure the brightness isn't too high, and then I would consider if the problem is text on screen. The LG OLED panels have WRGB pixel layout, so it doesn't work quite right with the likes of ClearType on Windows. Instead I use MacType on my PC with a modified profile and 117% zoom in windows, and now it's fine to me (the font was an issue when I first got my OLED).
>is widely viewed as the APA taking the position that saying "Whites are smarter than Blacks" as not supported by APA.

The thing is, I never claimed otherwise. My claim was very specific, and I used the APA review as a citation of that specific point. Namely, that the measured Black-White IQ gap is not crackpot science but is accepted by most people who study the issue.

>It's very easy to find them. The fact that you are not aware of these shows that you are not very aware of the state of the art in the subject.

Usually people's claims overstep the actual evidence in their claimed citations. The gambit is that their interlocutor won't look or won't understand what they're reading if they did. Your citations are a case-in-point.

The first one is not about IQ at all, but about the changes in household wealth due to the Great Recession.

The fourth one is a commentary piece that doesn't explicitly defend the point of contention.

The second piece's title looks like commentary, so I didn't bother with it.

The third one defends the claim that the Black-White gap has reduced by 5 points, which is at least somewhat relevant, but doesn't at all defend your claim that the Black-White IQ gap has been demonstrated to be fully explained by bias and socioeconomic status.

AvenueX on YT had a pretty good comparison and review for both. TL;DW the Netflix one fails to use its budget for anything, and instead tries to appeal to its audience (or at least who Netflix thinks is their audience) with sex scenes, romance and dumbed down concepts. She also comments a bit about how Netflix politically charged it (which is an unfortunate thing to hapoen to Three-Body). I was personally a great enjoyer of the TC 三体 since I liked the calmer pacing (I feel it is mostly the western audience who have a problem with it).
