Re "...I pay so much rent that my landlady covers all her expenses in 6 weeks ..." THe implication here is landlord is making enormous profit. That's good because if the profit really is enormous, the government and lots of other people will be able to either buy and rent homes. OR actually build homes to rent them out. They will them be able to reduce the asking rents to such a level to just cover their costs. If not then there are unexplained expenses or risks not mentioned.

Fast food restaurants have priced their food into “real food” territory. Spend $10 for a combo at McDonald’s or get an authentic burrito from a local eatery? Folks are thinking twice about the drive thru.

> This is demonstrably false given there is a market value for common stock in private companies

For most startups no body is making a market for common stock. So I don’t understand what you mean by market value here.

IRS does impose that startups do a valuation process. Is that what you meant?

That's an idealistic view of it, and I think a lot of people would agree in principle.

The problem of course are the untold number of companies who abuse the system to suppress wages, limit career growth and company movement, or all of the above.

Fix the abuse first. Make the minimum salary for these so called exceptional folks 1.5x or 2x prevailing wage. Then loosen the rules.
Most web results I found say rice is good for 3-4 days in the fridge, but it’s safest if you cool it quickly after cooking.

But 24 hours is fine. I just got some food poisoning from eating 5 or 6 day old rice a few times and was surprised it went bad in under a week.
None of your arguments make any sense to me.

It doesn't seem expensive -- it's literally a configuration option on the scanners already installed.

It doesn't have anything to do with stolen goods generally, it's simply about detecting stacks of cash that there's already a specific law stating that you must declare when leaving the country.

By definition this isn't regular domestic policing, because it's inherently an issue that can only occur at the border.
And yet people did threaded programming in C before C11. Granted, you cannot do it in plain C99 -- in practice extensions were used. The hard part wasn't getting the fence instructions (asm will do it) but getting the compiler to not re-order things around fences, and `asm volatile ("" ::: "memory")` (or similar) would do that.
Cool to see stuff like this which makes math fun for everyone. I love stuff like this because it brings together two things I love, math and programming.

I mean textbooks are cool. But with the tools available to us we should be able to make almost any textbook interactive. It will need effort, pedagogy, programming skills and design. But it's certainly worth it.

Making an effort with this. Started with 6th to 10th grade math. Let's see how this goes.
Sorry 'bout that, but I think that feeling might be on you; I'm older than 60, I live in Australia, I've played half of the first King's Quest and not a lot of other games aside from some Doom, a bit of Quake, half an hour or so of a bunch of others each.

I recognize names from other domains, eg: George Havas, Jens Hovgaard, George Burarrwanga, Jack Wong Sue, etc.

> For whom is this a good thing, and for whom not?

Potentially literally everyone is better off. That happens sometimes in economics. Everyone not in STEM is better off and if the STEM people think they are getting a bad deal they can go do something else that is getting a good deal.
The article was published today, and study like that take months to do and then months again to be published especially in this kind of journals (thankfully they don't accept replications most of the time so it can get published by more reasonable venues).
They don't care because they can't make money off it. They know very well that Steam would outsell their App Store offering so greatly (with good reasons) if they supported Vulkan that they don't see the point.
They push their Metal API not just for the hardware matchup but because it allows them to trap developers into optimizing for their technology only and getting them to sell their games in the App Store.
Because the minute devs start looking into options for cross-platform dev/deploy their Metal/App Store combo is just not very enticing compared to the alternative.

But they would rather lie about caring for this use case and they would need to have better GPUs in the first place, but at least it looks like this should be improved with M4.

For all the big talk they give, their GPU in the entry level Apple Silicon chip doesn't even match the power of a current gen console (either PS5 or Xbox series X have better GFLOPS).
The Max versions are better but they only come in devices starting at over 2.5k€ starting price (still with lots of compromises most likely) and those get absolutely trounced by hardware at this price point that features dedicated GPUs, obviously.

But they will very much remind you about how great battery life is, because it is all that matters, right? right? (Desktops, hello?)

Unless you can justify one of the Max variants for other things, there is not much point bothering with it. If you really want a Mac, it will still be better, faster and cheaper to just buy the most basic Mac you can get away with and get a console or a custom PC with the rest of the money.

It is very sad, but this is the state of things. Gaming on Apple was never very good, but at least before Apple Silicon there were some variants of iMacs/MBPs that were decent enough and not breaking the bank too much (with Windows support for even better performance).
I think this goes for much internet advice.

"Your partner leaves hairs in the sink? Leave the relationship now!"

Maybe a better way to address things is to have an objective list of trouble signs, and let people make up their mind from that. Maybe being able to apply this to old problems will help.
Show HN: AC Interview – AI Coach for Tech Interview
The short answer is: No, there isn’t a simple treatment for Autism based on simple diet, lifestyle, or supplement changes. There are countless books, blogs, and social media influencers claiming to have unlocked something, but it never translates to something broadly useful.

There’s a long history of these claimed fixes. They follow popular trends that come and go. They’ve been attached to everything from eliminating dyes and food colorings to every possible alternate diet out there.

Placebo effect is a large part of it. People feel better when they feel like they have some control over their condition. They buy into the popular narrative and then they really do feel better, even if nothing has actually changed physically.

It’s also common for people with major medical diagnoses like Autism to start thinking that every one of their symptoms is attributable to Autism. Some of these people might have gluten intolerance as a separate issue, so going gluten free improves a number of issues for them. Instead of attributing the improvement to improving their gut problem, they assume they have treated their Autism.
AFAIK, no nonprofits would touch so-called “expired” food, barely or otherwise. Some poor person falls ill after consuming it, whether or not there was even any real correlation, and they would be sued. And if any store or manufacturer donated the food they’re going to be sued too.
I wrote the above so I'll elaborate.

It's good for everyone.

Right now if you want to build a top tier AI lab in the states VISAS are gonna be an issue. One that a good HR team will dance around and you might get 60 percent of the foreign nationals you wanted. Just drop the pretense and hand them a visa to work here. Now you have chinese, Indians, euros, africans all top of class working in the same lab in the STATES... 5 years later they green card and then the bulk of them stay. Their kids become Americans.

Or keep it the way it is... and dont build those teams.

Do you think this changes hiring at google? They have Indian offices, they could just hire teams there and pay them NO markup rather than us salaries.... Same thing with every other major tech firm out there.

The majority of the teams I have worked on had H1Bs and green card holders in them. I call many of those people my friends and am happy that most of them became Americans.
Ahh no please! If I wanted to visit reddit I would have!
Why bother? If large numbers of US software developers are unemployed, you expect wages to fall without any policy change. That makes both outsourcing and immigrating to the US less attractive.
The article in question is about Ruby, which is garbage collected.

I remember the first time I noticed that I could guess correctly which fingertip a friend shining a tiny red pen laser was shining it on, just from minuscule temperature differences.

That you can feel artificial lighting as heat (the actual light, demonstrated as it was a laser some distance away) at such a low power level (<5mW) was pretty surprising to me.

> The way I think about it is high art is considered innovative for its time.

> By the time of the advent of photography, the skills of realistic painting had been fully fleshed out. Aside from the ultra-realism movement, there was no where left to go, hence turning inward w/ impressionism forward.

IMO instead of innovating, painters gave up when photography hit the scene. Just completely threw in the towel.

To this day, every method of printing has a very limited color space that fails entirely to capture the vibrancy and brilliance possible with paints. Paintings like the Blue Boy are impossible to truly convey in CMYK and painters like Hans Holbein the younger were capable of photorealism in the 16th century that took until the mid to late 20th century to replicate with photography, with the added benefit of artistic license.

I think it's entirely artists' fault that they lost the plot in the 19th and 20th century. It wasn't until graphic design software took away their advantage of the imagination-to-paper pipeline that they were truly doomed.

Sidenote: I think impressionism predates photography becoming a competitor. It doesn't predate the first photographs, but the movement started decades before photography was good enough to threaten artists.

But cash is everywhere, and it's not illegal to have it in your luggage if declared or below a certain amount. Seems like you'd get a ton of false positives as it would be very difficult to train a dog to only alert if it smells a lot of cash. But I did read another article that said they sprayed their vacuum packed cash bags with coffee and air freshener - don't know if that works that well against cash sniffing dogs.
Very interesting and informative piece, but it includes an assumption without evidence - which is, food that’s unwanted in its first use on a shelf is not put to its best possible use after it proves unwanted.

Where does “wasted” food actually go? The article claims it ends up in landfills and plowed into fields, but doesn’t give examples or evidence to back that up.

If more research is done and it’s uncovered that wasted food does have some sort of afterlife, that’s a sign of the market at work. No doubt some unwanted food isn’t used in an optimal way, but if for example, some gets turned into feedlot and others into pet food, it radically changes the narrative.

A well-researched article about broadly what happens to “wasted food” would really help. But right now it’s not clear if there’s anything here to fix.

But not https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_People_(1942_film)

although it's another B-grade movie that punched above its weight.

Retrospective reception of the original has been varied. Some modern critics have described the film as being too subdued for the genre and have deprecated the quality of the acting. Others have praised the film's atmosphere and sophistication, with the critic Roger Ebert describing it and the other Val Lewton productions as landmark films of the 1940s.

Not to belittle Corman's work in any way, more to celebrate the range of B movies.

Why do all the arguments for NY being dangerous, etc. lack an objective basis (except one person's)? I think it's because it's fabricated.

The article gives some details we can go off of.
5 suitcases with $500k each, is $2.5M.
Alfassi charged 10% so $250k.

Out of that you have to manage all the logistics (as they said his fee covered it).
- Pickup of the cash
- Counting
- Hiring and managing mules (which means paying for Clarke’s salary and expenses who lives between Dubai and London, with, I assume, lots of flying and housing for her and her family required)
- Getting mules to your location
- Paying for things like Covid tests, a few expenses (I assume some food, and other little things)
- Driving them to the airport
- Flying them in business class to Dubai
- Paying for a local resort while they stayed put a few days
- Flying them back to the UK

Now they flew two people at a time, so all of the above is doubled for each trip.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this added up to around $50k per trip, which is 20% of the $250k fee for just transportation of the cash (does not include the actual laundering being done locally).

Margins are likely still “respectable” in the end, but you can’t have mules taking 10% of the suitcase’s content if you’re to run a profit.
You seem to assume that people living in their home will spend nothing on maintenance and upkeep. In my experience, the mortgage is about half the expense of owning a home.
It's certainly the case in the US for many people, why would it not be in the UK?

We’ve also had periods where Republicans controlled Congress and the Presidency, and they didn’t “destroy” Social Security like we’re told they would.

Because your mental model of how this would work is handwaving the impossibly difficult task of converging the LLM state with the narrative and game state.

Your crappy awkward dialogue is probably a very realistic example of a stupid bot that doesn’t even know what actor it represents in game.

You’re asking why if would think that? You tell me how it would come to the conclusion correctly by using the game logic. And don’t give an answer that requires a hard coded dev interface between specific game elements and the LLM because that is on its own a more complex task than the LLM itself. It’s incredibly difficult. Shitty home assistants that can’t actually do anything being the prime example. The language processing is not the hard part. It’s the mapping of language to data and capabilities that’s extremely hard.

Synthesizing an agent that can form an identity based on its experiences and leverage game mechanics to pursue goals and convey all of this logic in flexible natural language is basically asking for a general intelligence. It’s an incredibly different thing from the shitty dialogue example you wrote

There is a very strong inverse correlation between obesity and elevation above sea level, the higher you go the thinner the people. One of the thoughts is that environmental contaminates are in higher concentrations the further down the water cycle you go, and these contaminants cause obesity.

The one thing I wished the video provided a bit more context on was about the joystick and sd card problem. Knowing that this was a big problem and that Asus has been doing warranty service would have shifted my focus more on the ridiculous auxiliary repairs Asus recommended. I was surprised to see that they would work on the joystick and found the sd card problem, but now I realize that work was "expected," and the real focus was the other problem.
I think the clusterfuck is good and what ever gets upvoted to the front is good. You are basically asking it to be more like reddit which is not a good look for HN.

etc.
Right, any system of belief (yours included) boils down to axioms that have to be either accepted or rejected without evidence.

I've thought many times in the past that we'd all do best if we could choose our system of belief based on how well seeing "through" it makes sense of things. But too often that sense of "how well" is subjective and so prone to being misguided based on things as small as what we had for breakfast. And it's exceedingly hard to see through the eyes of a true believer in another "faith" in the first place.

Even so, a deep-seated personal commitment to discover and submit oneself to truth in good faith, no matter where honest inquiry leads, can go a very long way.

Declarative schema management solves this, and allows you to manage your database definitions (SQL CREATE statements) just like any other codebase:
https://www.skeema.io/blog/2023/10/24/stored-proc-deployment...

With a declarative system, the tooling is responsible for diff'ing the CREATE statements between your current state and desired state, and then generating the appropriate DDL to transition between those states.
