Yea this is gross. Even the examples they provide are gross. Someone struggling with debt, and a some robot gives them the impression that there's a person that cares and, by the way, you should spend your money on this service. Ewww.
Slow though the FTC is I imagine that a bare minimum requirement for products like this will be disclosure that they've been written by an AI bot

Which will (a) Give consumers proper disclosure and (b) Give platforms the opportunity to filter or address as they like

Prior enforcement engagements like the CAN SPAM act etc didn't eliminate bad actors, but massively curtailed legitimate business participation in these areas
Just downloaded. It appears there is not an option to sync the codes to my existing bw accounts. That is disappointing.
You can't actually compare prices there without comparing also specs.
You've created a disgusting thing that makes everyone's lives worse. And you'll justify it to yourself with the old "if I didn't do it someone else would have". Despicable.

As hard as it would be to enforce, I wonder whether this runs afoul the FTC rules regarding advertising/disclosure. It does seem to me like this qualifies as a “Robo-influencer” and thus should adhere to the guidelines the FTC put out [0].

In a similar vein, here is a performance of Beowulf in Old English accompanied by music from an Anglo-Saxon lyre: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WcIK_8f7oQ
Although I don't know how much of the performance style is reconstructed.

And that pipe music was fantastic. Reminds me a lot of the style of Colin Stetson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra-EsJpkG9o

This is basically their stategy. And, with the outsourcing of IT to the cloud and to external companies, their success is assured.
Pretty much. Trust has always been a problem, especially on the internet, but people like this guy are going to simply ruin the public, free internet and destroy the very idea of crowd source.

We are going to resurrect the elite class of editors so we can ever find out any information that is not totally corrupt.
I would like this service but for vet clinics, apartment rental forms, and dentists.
They just retired 4TB ones.

While they seem to get retired, it's not as quick as we'd think.
I was upset about it at the time, but last year's round of hostility to users that caused me to delete my reddit/twitter accounts when 3rd party clients were lost was a blessing.
So what I’m hearing is:

> People who have done something successfully often had others disagree with them, ergo if others disagree with me it’s probably a sign that I’m on the right path. And also that they’re “irrational”.

Airtight my man
> DOS was hardly an operating system at all

Yes, DOS was basically a boot loader and utilities. The EFI shell is modeled the same way, though DOS had fewer address bits available. Netware also used it in this fashion, as a boot loader that may/not initialize hardware.

From memory, the next stage of the OS would simply write itself over DOS in memory, move the instruction pointer and go.
Mesothelioma is not a "real" cancer in the traditional sense.

Your body has no way to expel fine asbestos fibers, and so they collect in your lungs and shred up the insides. When your body tries to respond by healing, it instead forms growths that constantly re-cut and heal themselves. So it's a type of cancer, but it's unique in that it's not based on malformed DNA.

So the idea that just being in the presence of asbestos is enough to form self-propagating cancers like it's some sort of radioactive isotope... doesn't make any sense. Asbestos on it's own is completely inert.

It's an improbably claim that requires extraordinary evidence.
> Lotta corruption too on the Anglo Irish side by not doing due dilligence into connected developers like Bernard McNamara

Like, the whole nationalisation of Anglo is why I'm paying shed loads of taxes for crummy services, and you can trace basically half the problems of modern ireland back to that decision. Screw FF.

tbh only like 50% of my `if err != nil { return err }` are mindless. rest of the time, the fact that error handling is explicit and in my face has helped me alot during my time with go.
J D Bernal already addressed it through his magnum opus - Science in History.
In this case, insult was further compounded because of a prerelease leak of a Legend of Zelda title _and_ charging for early access to an update to make it playable with Yuzu.

That Yuzu reportedly has generally better performance than a Switch console couldn't have helped, either.

Making money and credible potential to eat into sales. A less litigious company would still have complained.

8k-16k is the breakpoint where pixel density is high enough to no longer need anti-aliasing, so we have a ways to go, but once we hit that, we still have a long ways to go in rendering quality. Screenshots can look really nice, but dynamic visuals are still way behind realistic graphics you'd expect to see in movies.
>don’t the much larger GDPs far outproduce the smaller in military investment?

I think that once it became clear that maximum 3 Lancet drones (which cost 35k a pop) can defeat a standard western battle tank (costing upwards of 10 million per unit) this whole GDP comparison business became essentially meaningless.

The other part is that you would obviously need to at least adjust for PPP but the key point is that a lot of the price tags on older equipment don't make any sense given all the recent innovations.
I'm guessing it's against Reddit's TOS but good luck to them trying to enforce it.
The claim of not being created consciously seems much more applicable to many of the scripts of recent movies than to the Homeric Epics.

The main plot lines of the epics, which are quite clever, must have been designed consciously and whoever did that should be considered the main creators of the epics. I am among those who believe that the main authors of Iliad and Odyssey must have been distinct, but they probably were members of the same family, e.g. the main author of the Odyssey might have been a niece or granddaughter of "Homer".

In any case while the main authors have devised the plots, they have expressed the plot using a huge amount of verse sequences, metaphors and similes inherited via oral tradition from their ancestors and the selection of a verse sequence appropriate for a certain point in the story might have been partially non-deterministic and unconscious.

Once the initial versions of the epics had been performed, it is likely that all later public performances by the main authors or by their descendants have never repeated completely identically, but with small variations in verse choices, until they have been fixed in writing. It is possible that multiple variants have been fixed in writing or the copists have made various mistakes, because the canonical variants known today have been edited in their final form only many hundreds of years later.

This sounds vaguely like the observation that retail checkout employees get stupider when the economy is good, because everyone with 2 brain cells to rub together moves to more gainful employment, and walmart has to really start scraping the bottom of the barrel
I guess it depends on the headlines you're reading. You'll only see it on HN if it's a tech company, and you're probably correct in saying that it was incredibly uncommon over the last decade of incredible growth.

But it's more common if you zoom out a bit and look at other industries that haven't been consistently booming. I went to university during an O&G downturn, and I had several friends who had accepted internship offers at oil companies which were cancelled at the last minute. There were even companies that suspended their co-op programs for students already working there. Students who had an 8 month internship arranged through the university were laid off in the middle of it and were left sitting on their hands since they weren't enrolled in any classes.

But I probably couldn't find any news articles about it, since those same companies were also going through mass layoffs at the time and nobody really cared about some interns having a rough time.
Stratagem too complex, controller is broken.
> In theory, with a little effort, don’t the much larger GDPs far outproduce the smaller in military investment?

Yes, that's what is happening. That's why Ukraine is still surviving, and that's why the US & EU are happy to stay involved (well, parts of the US, at any rate)—for a very small percentage of our budget, we fend off one of our larger rivals. And most of that spending goes to our own defense contractors anyway, which is good for our economy.
i think you might lose people in the transition from the turing tape machine style bootstrapping to using full "words" for operations. it might help to compare it to something like regexes? (obviously they're not similar in the way that forth / stack langs are, but they're more commonly known and more commonly thought of as useful)

i think it'd also help a lot to have some gifs of the state machine operating on stuff

or maybe you could have something with "syntax" highlighting. a navigable timeline that changes the highlighting based on the current ignore lists and / or stack contents as you step through the code could be neat
Yeah, I just think there should be a mandate for transparent pricing. I don't think that Ticketmaster/Livenation should be allowed to do the bait and switch pricing by tacking on an extra $30 + $3 charge at the end so that their prices initially appear a bit lower.

And I also think that government should break them up.
This article should be forwarded to the US gov antitrust division. I suspect it would be of great interest given their current activities.
These are useful data points, but I've found that at my risk tolerance level, I get a lot more TB/$ buying refurbished drives. Amazon has a couple of sellers that specialize in server pulls from datacenters, even after 3 years of minimal use, the vendors provide 5 years of additional warranty to you.

It takes some doing, but you can build a pretty competent trip planning/packing app all within something like Airtable or Notion.

This is what I use, I have a db called “trips”, when a new page is added it pre-fills with a generic trip packing checklist that I can customize.

A bit of both! But closer to MLFlow.

Hamilton/the UI doesn’t run it, but it does give visibility. So it has the tracking/visibility of airflow and the metrics/artifact tracking of MLFlow bundled together. Can also be used with those systems happily.

Our goal was to provide an all-in-one system that provides a host of data/ML/LLMops needs.

I think in terms of things commonly measured on Earth we don't benefit much from the jump to megametres. The diameter of this planet is 12,742 km. Does it help much to say 12.7 megametres? Not really. Off planet the distances between objects are far beyond megametres. AU, parsec, and lightyears make much more sense.
I'm surprised GitHub honored these requests as they aren't valid to begin with. DMCA takedown notices can only be used for traditional copyright violations, not allegations of protection measure circumvention.

> Which means they're rapidly coming to a position which will easily allow them to game the system (what used to be known as "cornering the market").

These are flows, not ownership.

Also, taking Citadel as an example, a vast portion of these flows are not their own, but rather thirs parties offloading their flows to them, so they have the underlying best execution guarantee to provide.

An other way to look at it is that investors are moving away from traditional brokers to execute their flows, because these HFT firms have become so good. So instead, investors offload their flows to HFTs acting as DMM instead.
> Bitcoin cash pays the price through centralisation

What centralization? If you are referring to the node implementations, it has several [0]: Bitcoin Node, Bitcoin Unlimited, Bitcoin Verde,... Bitcoin BTC has basically one: Bitcoin Core [1]. If you mean mining, it's the same as BTC, same mining algorithm, same miners.

> It can still only manage 100 transactions/second

True for now, but it's way more than it needs right now now [2]. But don't worry, this month upgrades to ABLA [3], and will be able to scale to as many tx/s as needed.

> If the PE firm is charging more than a vet operating alone would, then why wouldn't a vet operating alone just undercut the PE firm's veterinary practice?

Finance.

Throwing in with the PE firm means you don't have to negotiate real estate leases, don't have to think about POS systems, and don't have to worry about collections.

So, the vet probably gets paid the same and spends a lot more time on being a vet. On the other hand, the consumers spend a LOT more once the PE firm has a monopoly position and switches to gouging them.

If Microsoft said "Windows-only, good luck with cross platform," I'd accept it and move on. It's their prerogative to spend their resources enhancing their own platform.

Instead, I've been told a half-dozen times that there's a new cross-platfotm GUI option, and had I bought into any such endeavor, I would have been rugpulled by sudden deprecation or loss of focus. I think people who did buy into any cross-platfotm GUI frameworks from Microsoft in the last ten years are justifiably feeling like they've been hung out to dry, sometimes multiple times.

I don't complain about Elixir, Ruby, Go, or Rust GUI development because I don't try to use these languages for GUI development, because their core leadership and marketing doesn't promote this as one of the primary use cases. C#, and the .NET ecosystem at large, are THE premier Windows GUI development tools. When their marketing pivots to cross-platform GUI development, and they rugpull you a half-dozen times in a decade with half-finished and baffling experiments, it kinda smarts.

Most people developing desktop apps are probably okay with switching to web-based options, including potentially running their own standalone rendering executable on top of a web view or chromium instance. But there's a significant minority that are building desktop apps because they want better performance and native visual integration/theming, who don't benefit from browser process isolation and the hairy JS event loop situation, who don't want to serialize every user action in the GUI, who saw what XAML set out to accomplish (GUI style templates that convert to framework code that could equally be hand-written, modified, or extended) and ran marathons with it. Maybe this will get better with WASM improvements in the next few years, but it doesn't change that the approach to GUI design is fundamentally different, and in a lot of ways needlessly harder, when you have to pretend your GUI isn't all running on the same machine.
It's common for PE to buy many "mom n pop" practices with the goal of reducing competition (eg https://kgnu.org/investigation-finds-that-private-equity-was... )

Reducing the friction of starting new business is good. But I don't think it's sufficient to protect consumers. (If it was sufficient, we wouldn't need antitrust law at all, right?) For example, the rolled-up firms might have economies of scale that allow it to undercut new competitors.

Private Equity is a scapegoat business. Like Ticketmaster.

If you have a company that's been slowly failing for a while, PE is here to help you out.

They will pay you money today and take over the company and in 3-5 years it will go out of business in a convincing way. And PE will take the heat.

You are correct that population growth is positive in the US, but most recently it has been to a surge in immigration and the growth has been very mild. Whether population growth remains will be a function of immigration policy and enforcement in the near term.

Something like "There's no such thing as bad publicity" I guess.

It's rooted in societal culture and what people incentivize (ie assign the highest multiple to).

Until Americans take on a mindset of longterm/family (as I've seen many Chinese families express), they'll be doomed to make short term decisions. Right now very few Americans are able to accept an optimization that looks like "I invest today, and my grandkids will get the returns". So America is stuck in that local maxima of invest for next few quarters. The obvious tradeoff being the risks/ability to predict the future.
All this is going to do is destroy one of the last remaining ways of getting an unbiased review: word of mouth. It won't make people buy more {PRODUCT}, it will just make people suspicious of every recommendation they read.

Maybe companies should focus on actually producing products that are good enough that they don't need to be covertly advertised to via CIA level psyops.

This entire thing makes my blood boil.
