Thank you. Heard so much about this film and have never seen it.
Such a bullshit article.
> So unless you're also trying to single-handedly accelerate the energy transition of earth or attempting to colonize Mars, you'd best dilute his example accordingly.

I don't know how you could write this without a belly-full of protagonist syndrome Kool-aid and a healthy dose of disillusionment. Par for the course from Hey, I suppose.
Sure, it is by far the industry standard.

It works much better for handling discrete integers.

Once you get into bitfield instructions it is nice to have bit 0 be the "left most bit".
Are you responding to the right comment? What you’re saying seems completely unrelated to what I was responding to RIMR about.

If your issue with this app being posted to HN is the mere existence of the app on the Play Store (including all of the store and the OS’ existing flaws), I don’t see how that’s supposed to be a constructive or useful discussion relevant to this app.
What communication channels do you plan to use for coordination? Forum, discord, IRC, matrix or something else?

LLMs are autocomplete with context, for simple tasks they do OK but for complex tasks they get lost and produce crap
Don't worry, I never assume UTF-8.

I require UTF-8. If it isn't currently UTF-8, it's someone else's problem to transform it to UTF-8 first. If they haven't, and I get non-UTF-8 input, I'm fine bailing on that with a "malformed input - please correct" error.

They charge ten times as much for an unauthorized PUT as they do for an unauthorized GET, and I feel fairly confident in saying that it does not cost them ten times as much.
We’re not dismissing them! They’re just not that good at helping us with our actual work.

Now that you make me think about it, that doesn't even seem a feature of authoritarian countries.

I'm the one vouching for yours, actually. Your comments are getting erased faster than I can respond to them unfortunately, looks like your window closed for responding to my post.

At the same time though, I don't know how you expected people to take you seriously here. When you're that desperate to conflate peaceful protest with "genocide", methinks you're insecure about something you're unwilling to admit.
would you guess the unit instead of specifying what you expect?
> They allowed an unlimited number of people to check out an individual book digitally

You're referring to the emergency library, which only operated during COVID. The claim in that case is that it should be allowed because it's temporary and can only operate during an emergent crisis, thereby limiting the impact on the market for the works.

> & then took donations for doing so

Why should that be relevant unless a donation is required to get a copy? It seems like a bad faith argument to try to ensure that no one offering a free service to the public can solicit donations to continue operating it.

> The original envision, where a book can be checked out digitally (and then is reserved until "returned", and mare available again), is way more defensible.

Isn't the case about both?

You're spinning their POV. Their POV is, harder taxes = less taxes, easier taxes = more taxes. I'm not saying that will work for them but I can see it as defendable idea.

I think many of them would also like to see a ban on auto tax deduction. Their POV is if everyone has to send a check to the government they'll vote for less taxes where as with auto-deduction, most people just look at their after tax income and ignore the rest (and see their "refund" as a bonus which it isn't)

I think I'm mostly on the "simpler is better" where simpler should be "get the tax code to fit on 2 pages of 10pt single spaced letter sized paper. Something simple like "+0.25% for every 1k over 10k up to 50%" the end. I'd be curious to know which country has the simplest taxes
They are not female, they are an 'it', that is the correct grammatical form.

Referring to them as women (hence 'she') is simply an affectation.
I am doing something similar and it's quite rewarding.
I have a masters in finance and management from while back, and am just finishing 9 month program to get my CISSP and PMP. Personally I enjoy the learning and challenge, and this field allows for so much.

If you have the time and genuine interest, I say go for the MSCS. Choose a rigorous program, dive into deep learning, and let your enthusiasm shine through. Ignore any naysayers and embrace this season of structured learning.

The one potential risk I'd consider is signaling a desire to return to hands-on technical work. Some may interpret your degree pursuit as dissatisfaction with management and a wish to return to individual contributor roles. You can likely mitigate this by clearly communicating your rationale to key stakeholders.
That's entirely the point.
Thanks. Someone mentioned Pocket as well, so I tried it. Graveyard would be an interesting name for an app that does something similar.
To be fair, they are not necessarily reducing headcount, they are just going to move the jobs to other places like Munich, Bangalore, Mexico?

Of course, if they are willing to treat their employees like this, they are likely to treat their users worse.
That would be nice, but I cynically suspect it's not something LLMs are constitutionally able to provide.

Since they don't actually model facts or contradictions, adding prompt-text like "provide alternatives" is in effect more like "add weight to future tokens and words that correlate to what happened in documents where someone was asked to provide alternatives."

So the linguistic forms of cautious equivocation are easy to evoke, but reliably getting the logical content might be impossible.
It's surprising to me the internet archive isn't raking in the money selling AI training data. There are so many quality resources that aren't available on the internet anymore and aren't discoverable.

Three apps have been suggested so far: Omnivore, Instapaper, Pocket.
There are basically two things you get by pursuing an MS instead of just picking up the same knowledge on your own: (1) more structure and (2) a credential. (Okay, three: if you're junior, it's a way to continue building your network. But this isn't relevant for you.)

It sounds like you see value in (1). You're a little unclear on whether you want (2), since first you say your goal is not career progression, but then you ask how this is viewed by companies and recruiters.

From the perspective of someone who has been in the position of screening and interviewing technical candidates, both ICs and managers, most MS degrees don't add a lot to a resume IMO. If it's from a mid- or low-tier school, or an online program, I don't really put much stock in the quality of the program. Even upper-tier schools more and more give off the perception that you're just paying for a credential. I would say that if you have the motivation to learn the material on your own, and then put it into practice in a demonstrable way in your actual work (which seems like something that should be tractable, given your role), that would have more value.
thank god. what was the last $100m+ movie you watched that you thought, wow, what a great piece of entertainment and/or art?
Agreed. Continuing to support other encodings is like insisting that cars should continue to have cassette tape players.

It’s much easier to tell the people with old cassette tapes to rip them, rather than try to put a tape player in every car.
> That is very sloppy of Russia. Why even bother doing something so dumb?

Because the scheme predates today's digital capabilities.
Better to assume UTF8 and fail with a clear message/warning. Sure you can offer to guess to help the end user if it fails, but as other people have pointed out, it’s been standard for a long time now. Even python caved and accepted it as the default: https://peps.python.org/pep-0686/

Well basically, you cd in the shell, and then it shows:
"direnv: loading ~/dev/foo/.envrc
direnv: export +DATABASE_URL"
Is this "implicit" to you ? Because to me it's pretty explicit. But yeah it's automatic, if you don't want this behavior, you don't install direnv. Just to be clear, implicit is "suggested but not communicated directly", and to me, this is communicated directly, so I don't see why it would be implicit...
It'll probably work out fine, too. I'd wager that most people don't care if they're bombarded with ads. They see them on TV, hear them on the radio, see them on billboards, are bombarded with them at the doctor's office, and I've heard tell that some people even browse the internet without an adblocker installed, just raw-dogging the whole experience with the sheer enthusiasm of a junkyard dog splashing through a deep puddle tinged with the rainbow colors of petroleum products & industrial solvents.
> So our galaxy, which contains a few hundred billion stars almost certainly has no other intelligent life in it for the simple reason that it'd be everywhere.

By that account another civilisation as advanced as us would say they're equally alone in the galaxy no ? yet here we are. And you forget time, they might have done that 2b years ago and there is nothing left for us to detect, or they might do it in 2b years and we might not be there to witness it. Also there might be barriers we're not aware of, for example advanced civilisations could go through things like extinction through pollution, over consumption of resources before reaching a tipping point to being multi planetary, &c.

Plus we're far from the only galaxy, there might be galaxy wide civilisations out there, far far away. And more important, nothing guarantees the premise of multi-planetary civilisation has any validity outside of sci-fi

It's like going in the woods twice a year, not seeing mushrooms and concluding mushrooms don't exist on earth because surely you'd have seen them by now! The bottom line is that we just have absolutely no clue
Government is the biggest buyer of location data and doesn't want it to stop.
The more I thought it through, even assuming x86, I guess there’s just no “correct” way to casually reference bit positions when we read them in the opposite order from the machine. Are they being referenced from the perspective of a human consumer of text, or the machine’s perspective as a consumer of bits? If I were writing that content, I’d have a difficult time deciding on which to use. If I were writing for a lay person, referencing left-to-right seems obvious, but in this case where the audience is primarily developers, it becomes much less obvious.
Neither platform is great at everything really, but being able to use ACTUAL firefox on an android phone is pretty sweet. I can use ublock origin, get firefox bookmark syncing which works with EVERY SINGLE device and computer I own! It's awesome. I love it. It also works better with 'request desktop website'.

Likewise, automatic photo syncing with onedrive works better on android than it does on iOS (although this may be a configuration thing).

But when it comes to smartwatches, I do really like my Apple Watch. The problem is, Apple Watches only work with Apple iPhones. And Apple iPhones only work really well with Apple Watches because Apple doesn't allow anyone else to do half the things that Apple iOS can do with Apple Watches. And frankly, none of those things that Apple does as "vertical integration" are special or unique - it's just obnoxious vendor lock-in. They could have made a good smartwatch API and vetted smartwatch vendors the same way they vet apps. But no. We get Apple Watches or a shit experience on 3rd party watches.

The "don't like it? buy something else" attitude is obnoxious as hell. Apple could do better with iOS (and with their Macs). I don't know why some people can't accept that.
From the sibling's response - it's just one photo; and there's no way to know that this person was a student - the answer is apparently "No".
Don’t tell someone to chill just because they take an opposing viewpoint. It’s disingenuous and attempts to paint them as emotional and irrational.

"Entrepreneurship is like one of those carnival games where you throw darts or something.

Middle class kids can afford one throw. Most miss. A few hit the target and get a small prize. A very few hit the center bullseye and get a bigger prize. Rags to riches! The American Dream lives on.

Rich kids can afford many throws. If they want to, they can try over and over and over again until they hit something and feel good about themselves. Some keep going until they hit the center bullseye, then they give speeches or write blog posts about "meritocracy" and the salutary effects of hard work.

Poor kids aren't visiting the carnival. They're the ones working it."

At scale, digital piracy largely boils down to:

1. People who do it for fun

2. Would-be consumers who are priced out or locked out

The first group is, if anything, only encouraged by attempts to stop them, and generally won't pay no matter what. The second group would pay, if it were possible and economical for them to do so.

Focusing on the second group, you can say that every pirated copy is a "lost sale" but the sale that you've "lost" would only happen on terms favorable to the consumer. In other words, supposing you sold a product for $50 in developed countries, you're not going to get the equivalent at any significant volume in developing countries. But if you were to cut the price to the local equivalent of say $10, you'll probably get lots of sales. Refusing to market-adjust your prices, or even more so, refusing to sell in a market altogether, is a great recipe for piracy. Yet estimating that piracy at top-shelf price times number of downloads is grossly unrealistic. The piracy cost you what you should have sold it for; but of course, if you had done that, you wouldn't have seen so much piracy.

There are some exceptions to this, of course. Certain categories of media are extra prone to piracy (adult/restricted content in particular) regardless of price. Piracy also happens because of factors the publisher can control besides price; for example, anti-piracy measures in some PC video games have gotten so onerous that pirates are getting a better quality product; Switch games (in)famously run a lot better on PC than the console they were actually designed for; Blu-rays are so chock full of dated advertisements and anti-piracy warnings that can't be skipped that a torrented MKV is preferable; etc.
Delivery for random shit was never cheap before its not to ME shocking that it should reasonably be somewhat expensive to have someone drive their $50k car to the starbucks for you.

The government disallows work that people would otherwise do all the time for instance by instituting minimum wage, requiring benefits, or requiring regulation that drive up costs enough that marginal businesses fold. Those employees don't cease to exist they are reallocated to other parts of the market which are more worthy. In the end uber eats isn't worth anything it loses money. It's a side show until investors money runs out.

There are parts of Seattle that are shady. Unfortunately those people exist and they aren't going anywhere so we are basically playing whack a mole. If we want them out of people's faces we should probably house them. Finland did and it worked for them.

Does the entirety of Japan shun utf8?
I like to soften the blow by noting at least we can all agree that saying "a factoid is a small fact" is a factoid.

> EDIT: [...] if your want avoid experience developers.

They want to avoid expensive developers, not experienced developers. There is no reason to think the new German team is lacking in any way, but they are almost certainly willing to work for a fraction of the price of a comparable developer stateside. There isn't the same kind of demand for them as compared to the US in order to juice salaries. Like was said earlier, you can hire a German developer all in for somewhere around €100k. That's nothing compared to what Google is accostomed to paying.

It is true that the there are even weaker markets out there, but they come with other costs, like cultural barriers, that start to negate the difference. Germany hits the sweet spot of developers coming cheap, and still being experienced and talented on the same level Google is accustomed to, all while sharing an American-like culture.

Labour costs are almost the entirety of the cost of developing software. The cost of existing in the city is effectively irrelevant. Munich being expensive doesn't matter.
Apparently in some ionized states it can't produce the electron and will instead produce the gamma, I'm unclear where the extra energy comes from.

If one could make the UV source highly efficient perhaps it could be used as a battery with extremely good energy density.
A single apartment complex could almost certainly not cover enough space with solar panels in order to charge a battery to accommodate this.

This is interesting. Can you show which Japanese names cannot be encoded in UTF-8 please?
Do we really need 128 permutations just to express an alphabet of 26 letters?

I think we should use a 4 bit encoding.

0 - NUL

1-7 - aeiouwy

8 - space

9-12 - rst

13-15 - modifiers

When modifier bits are set, the values of the next half-byte change to represent the rest of the alphabet, numbers, symbols, etc. depending on the bits set.

"Unfortunately, the GNOME Foundation has not published any data in close to two years."

No, not "unfortunately". The reporting cycle of not-for-profits means that currently, the 2022 annual report is what you can get. That's definitely stupid, but AFAICT, that's a fact for all not-for-profits. (It certainly is for all the ones I look at)

And yes, 2020/21/22 sucked for all not-for-profits in terms of income, because donor schmoozing was hard.

As for "no interviews, no articles" - yeah. Kind of expect that. Because that's not how fundraising works. Your first communication goal is major donors willing to write large checks, not the general public who might throw you fifty cents.

That doesn't mean they're necessarily doing a competent job over at the GNOME foundation - that time lag in reporting could hide a lot of sins. But that article isn't dripping with competence, either.

> 1. Often in reference to a word or phrase: used so many times that it is commonplace, or no longer interesting or effective; worn out, hackneyed.

> 2. (law) So well established as to be beyond debate: trite law.

so i think you're kind of right; certainly the etymological origin means 'worn out', which implies 'useless', but it seems like it's commonly used nowadays in english to simply mean 'used very commonly', without the implication of uselessness, in particular in the legal sense
While I quite like Meshtastic and have literally dozens of t-beams, they serve fairly different usecases.
