> Can inmates be supervised in other states?

Yes. Texas has an agreement with other states, the District of Colombia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands to send and receive inmates for supervision. It is called the Interstate Compact for Adult Offender Supervision. Inmates approved to reside in other states must obey the rules of both Texas and the supervising state.

And

> What is “gate money”?

Gate money is $50.00 and a bus ticket provided to the released inmate on parole or mandatory supervision by the Correctional Institutions Division to help with transportation to the community to which they are being paroled to. They will receive an additional $50.00 upon reporting to their parole office.

Also, if you don’t have an address to parole out to, you simply don’t get parole and you are relaxed at the end of your sentence. These days the prisons want to get rid of you as quickly as possible, though, so they’ll make it work even if the only choice is to head to LA, SF, Portland, or Seattle.

"maybe dosage matters" .... rofl... YES, IT DOES!

Same as with other medicine, alchocol including. Water can kill you too, btw.

Next time try one small puff & dont keep it in you too much and see where it takes you, if nothing for 30min, try one more.

Another thing- it might be possible you already have preconditioned yourself mentally in a way that might be hard to get outside of, that'll cause anxiety even when thinking about smoking marijuana. I'd recommend trying "medicinal" first (ie. mostly CBD (ie. 20%), THC <0.5%) and then only progress to strains with higher THC content.

Also, you probably should see therapist anyways. Having psychosis is not a good sign. Most likely you have some other issues you need to work on.

Actually most students go to US are amongst the best students from China, either top students or really hardworking students, and most of them will be excellent engineers and scientists, if US is pushing them away, it is probably good for China.
This is a really nice idea. Wonder what the prompt would look like for that.
That’s like saying spheres aren't real because no perfect sphere exists. I think objectively exploring the merits of both sides of an argument is possible, and in many cases laudable.

I’m not saying all arguments on every issue are made in good faith or are worth exploring, and of course some things are simply facts. I’m also not condemning editorials where a writer is expected to try and persuade. However, I do think there is merit in a form of journalism that summarizes the strongest arguments on both sides of an issue in dispute, rather than simply picking one side and running with it.
Biases are the result of our collective experiences, exposures & limitations accumulated over time.
And we all have inherent biases to some degree shaped by our past & present, hence biases with all its flaws is a mental apparatus that people employ to understand stuffs. As such YC or any VCs aren’t immune to forming biases of their own. And given the massive volume of applications they have to go through under time constraints; they must definitely take into account multiple factors and signals that aligns with their biases in the context of their past successes..
And whatever biases that’s taken shape over time, as long as they are right most of the time, it does make it reasonable albeit it’s inherent flaws which might miss out on some exceptional founders in few cases.

However biases mostly work in information vacuum or when there’s limited set of information to take way from on ideas that are really early or unexplored. I imagine measurable results on the context of your startup idea is the best antidote to YC biases in most cases. For founders lacking in other aspects; I imagine the only viable option is to weigh in with quantifiable results. YC and other VCs might have their biases in some aspects, but there’s one common bias everyone is victim to which is “RESULTS”.
So for simple founders like me who is limited by the structure of the application process, I have found a loophole which is for every section that vaguely masks your background or accomplishments, there are also sections that asks for results and numbers which is where you can derive favorable outcome from. And for that very reason, I am trying to game YC biases by focusing primarily on results.
International diplomacy is as much about not being a doormat as anything.
What is it that I am wrong about precisely?
Nah, I grew up in the 80s and 90s and you could learn a lot from newspapers, magazines, television, or a trip to the library where you could get plenty more. There's no excuse for believing the stuff was secret. Not easy to get, sure, a trip downtown, maybe, but "secret from the press" for example, that's ridiculous for anyone that's ever turned on the nightly news channel in the 70s, 80s, or 90s where I have actual pre-internet experience. Also, by the early 90s you could get it all on the actual internet, pre-web, by going to a library with an internet connection and gopher. Bills, rulings, regulations, and other government publications could be found and accessed through Gopher directories maintained by government agencies, legislative bodies, and other organizations. Being away from all of this is OK if you at least know that it does in fact exist and other people use it. But believing that it doesn't exist, that government works in secret, that's just a busted education right there.
Nudity isn’t illegal in itself, but presenting nudity to minors, or worse, nudity of minors, is very very illegal. It isn’t self censoring Winnie the Pooh at that point, it is a clear rule that everyone has strategies to follow.
One reason is that it has one of the best cross platform native gui solutions out there. It exists because the research side was focused on teaching programming and needed a solution that their students could just install. There is a bit of a learning curve, but once you're over the hump it is just a pleasure to work with. See also things like https://docs.racket-lang.org/gui-easy/index.html.

My home door lock has a pretty cool way to counteract this.

Every time you press a button, all the numbers shuffle around. Even if someone watches you enter the passcode, they can't be certain of what the password actually was.

They do gain some information (the first digit must be either a two, a six, or a nine), but they don't get the full information.
Not knowing they're public and published is alarming. I was reading this stuff on Gopher servers 35 years ago at the library. That was pre-web internet and it was plenty good for government documents.
"Taubyte eliminates the need for DevOps and platform engineering" was used in https://taubyte.com/blog/introduction-to-taubyte/ to trigger the reader. What it means is best practices of DevOps were built-in and will always be + it's already a platform so no need for built from scratch platform engineering.

Running an app on a VPS would work but it's hard to scale. This is what justifies kubernetes and alike.

I talked to a lot kube-lovers, and yes, they all love k8s because it justifies their wage!

I think the big problem is cost and time to scale. And that's what talks to managers.

You have some deep fundamental misunderstanding of what parole is, and how it works.

Statistics FY 2021

Number of Texas parolees supervised out-of-state: 2,646

Number of Texas probationers supervised out-of-state: 6,511

Number of parolees from other states supervised in Texas: 2,055

Number of probationers from other states supervised in Texas: 4,140

Interstate Compact processed 9,028 requests to transfer from Texas to other states.

Australia 'is not going to be bullied by Elon Musk' on X

I've built pilots of these kind of models for my government department (Victoria, Austalia). The prototypes in R using Random Forest models. Pilot version in Python using gradient boosting. We could have used deep learning models, but the increase in accuracy of the predictions is pretty minimal.

We haven't used these models outside of a pilot. There is a long lag to get other departments/services data and de-identify it and link it (we have a team that does this, it has a lot of safeguards to ensure privacy). Although old data is still quite predictive. A simple predictive score didn't help our workers do their job as they needed to justify their decisions with evidence. Giving the workers access to underlying information (they would need to have legal authority to view the data, so that excludes Homelessness support staff) often is missing what they need for their processes.
Why PHP Usage Has Declined by 40% in Just over 2 Years
I never quite understand why people use ambiguous or uncommon abbreviations in comments. In this case I'm pretty sure they were talking about private jets (because it was spelled out in another comment), but I can't image most persons talk THAT much about private jets that they are used to that abbreviation.
they're already doing it and at scale

Good programming is sometimes mostly thinking, because "no plan survives first contact with the enemy." Pragmatic programming is a judicious combination of planning and putting code to IDE, with the balance adapting to the use case.
I agree, I still miss it 20 years later.

There was a time when I was always getting stopped and interrogated at customs coming into Seattle from Beijing. No one else on the Hainan flight I arrived on mind you, just me…I was the only white guy in the crowd of passengers who looked mostly Chinese also. Pretty sure they were profiling me, maybe they were just more suspicious of Americans?
The public block chain would show the chain of custody/ownership, so the photo of a photo would show the the final crypto signature does not belong to the claimed owner.

You are correct that I as a viewer can't just rely on a crypto-signature like a watermark, I'd have to verify the chain of custody, but if I wanted to do that, it is available to do so.
If users want to keep using it, let them advocate for Bytedance to sell Tiktok to a US company.
Wasn't that solved in 'a clockwork orange'?
Imo Pharmas are interested to keep it illegal as long as possible, same as alco producers. Pharmas like something they can patent and charge money for. Alco producers like to keep their "monopoly" on "recreational high", without any bad feelings that they kill their customers. Marijuana is none of that.

I strongly believe THC/CBD are more like medicine, that allows you to boost / condition your nervous system, that has been "legal" for many thousands years and now thanks to idiots in US government and theyr racist outlook we all have to suffer.

Don't believe it's for everyone, but for some of us, it works and makes us more conscious, relaxed and allows us to enjoy life more. Most of the bad effects to me are because of the "illegal" status of it, not the herb itself.
The article title promises to reveal how everything is becoming a game.

Spoiler alert: turns out that is just clickbait. It's not everything. Just ... you know, apps. Mostly multi-user, social ones.

Maybe the author really has his head so far up his apps that they look like everything.
One other area which I think is potentially quite interesting is using LLMs to help in deciphering "Fed-speak". Eg JP Morgan built an LLM to try to predict the impact on interest rate markets of speeches by various central bank policymakers.
How to Create Presentations in Markdown
I really like Markdown for its simplicity and organization. I started using Markdown for notes and actively apply it in README.md files. After I fully transitioned to Obsidian, a whole bunch of plugins opened up for me. However, this story began even before I started using Obsidian…
Thanks for this. Do you know how are redirects handled?

I searched on that page and didn't find anything but I've seen it mentioned elsewhere that they are catered for but I haven't found any documentation for that.

I'm particularly interested in the temporary ones - 302, 303 and 307.
Blockchain only shifts this problem one up.

You keep saying "your website" but any successful website will be "our website". There'll be an organization, company, community behind it.
And now "the person(s) with the private keys" can rugpull it. Or do whatever they want.

Yes. Maybe A DAO could solve that. But that means everything, including domain names is in there from the get-go. Which isn't how this works on practice.

Blockchain technology is great for valuable assets owned by individuals. But much less so for groups and organizations that own valuable assets. And valuable domains almost exclusively fall under the latter.
I liked TrueNAS and I liked that is was on FreeBSD. Mostly because it gave me some experiance with something other then Linux.

I could do my own setup with FreeBSD but don't want to.

I have the iX Mini, so it makes sense to use some version of TrueNAS.
I use a similar tool[0] which I really like. Will have to check out sgpt!

You think the US lets foreign companies do whatever kind of business they want with US children and there should be no rules around that? That this is some kind of novel precedent? Seriously? That's gotta be a joke. Of course the US can ban any foreign business it wants and it has and it does, and it can ban any US company from doing business with any foreign country it wants and it has and it does and it will. That's the whole damn meaning of sovereignty. Are you not familiar with that concept?
It didn’t really sink into my head until high school. I guess you have to have context or you are just learning facts to forget later.
Just because they were allowed to take fingerprints when fingerprints were only useful for establishing identity, does not mean they should be allowed to use a fingerprint to work around other restrictions.

No philosophical discussion about what are we even doing if we’re just operating on the predictions of computers to guess equity pricing? Or operating on the predictions of the predictions of computers to guess equity pricing? This isn’t based on any real evaluation. Just pattern matching.

Have you considered that you just became "old" or it's some other genetic predisposition you're not simply aware of?

Having that happen abruptly, imo its sign of something else.

Also, You're implying you were doing these tests through all the years.. why? No "normal" person does that, are you having other "preexisting conditions" as well?
No it doesn't. It says foreign adversarial companies cannot target US children without facing scrutiny. That you've got your panties in a twist over that suggests you don't know the first thing about how international trade with hostile nations works, has worked, and will continue to work. I've got a word you should look up. It will open your mind in new ways. It's called "sovereignty" and you would benefit from learning what it means.

> Since the matter of consensus based decision making has been put into the foreground i like to emphasize again that in contrast to many other matters in this style there is no lack of maintainer consensus on this issue. And even if there was disagreement on a concrete decision - i have stated many times now that from my side that would not stand in the way of merging a change implementing this and none of the other maintainers has indicated that this is a matter of fundamental importance for them either.
"What are the odds, this random example points to only a couple km away from my home."

Probably a rhetorical question, but the odds for you individually were probably low, but the odds that the random example (where random here still means close to major cities) was close to some HN reader were probably quite high ..
They don’t ban US tech companies, just fine them lots of money. In the end, I don’t think Europe lacks the ability to regulate them.

Well nixos is really great if your package and options are already thought through by the maintainers, although you might have to read through nixpkgs for options. It's more painful if you need X compiled with Y enabled and it needs to rebuild (might be slow on vps), and if your package isn't included at all, it can be a pain to add a new one and get all the dependencies included.

Once it works though, it basically never breaks - you can always pick an older working version.

Oh and it eats disk space like there's no tomorrow if you have multiple generations retained.
You can inspect the styles with browser dev tools. It's IBM Plex Mono.
McCarthyism wasn't about foreign companies targeting US children. Do you really think this is equivalent. Please consider before responding so as not to confirm our suspicions that you're just full of shit and don't know what McCarthyism actually was. I'll give you a clue, it was about AMERICANS, in government and other positions of authority. It wasn't about foreign companies that's for fucking sure.
No blog posts coming but yes, a port of lotus 123 that worked beautifully on terminals of the day particularly3279 colour terminal.

The premise was that people were already pushing the limits and building incredibly elaborate systems on spreadsheets, so why not go to the next level and leverage the huge processing power of big iron. Actually a very solid idea and I worked with a few progressive customers that bought into it.

My job was as a sales engineer, helping customers adopt it in Europe, particularly Scandanavia. It's Tuesday so it must be Copenhagen. What a great job and a super team in lotus at the time.

No code is faster than no code!
Ergonomics. It's extremely easy to use, especially in the GUI department. Generally, many things are super easy to use but not always top performance. Other things (macros) are truly exceptionally powerful, but rather complicated.

So, industry-grade customer-facing code? Not its focus, maybe not. But incredibly easy internal tools? Sure!
That is amazing. Did not know that. Would be great to have a very good self-hosting documentation. The open-source welcomes e2b as the industry standard sandbox.

There is another open source repo using Docker. Is there a benchmark for speed, security, reliability, scalability like an evaluation with llms ? Thanks a lot
