maybe it's because cash is just one asset.. at least if goods exist, you can barter for them, if the cash isn't any good

if the necessities just aren't there because, oh I don't know, you took the farms from the farmers because they owned land and owning property was deemed evil, and then the crops failed[1], then they just aren't available and it doesn't matter how much money or gold or any other commodity you might have to exchange for them

It looks like the pieces are no longer movable so maybe checkmate is detected but just not correctly displayed?
I understand what you mean, however, I still think this is a bad DX overall.

There are a lot of good suggestions in these threads about possible tools and approaches, but it just misses the point that these solutions are bad DX and require maintenance.

I think general idea of postgres is good, it's just not ready yet. There needs to be a framework that handles views/functions in postgres as if it's a web app and then applies changes as if it's a terraform. All while taking back-ups in case something goes wrong.

Otherwise it's just more maintenance and it's easier to build API's w/ something else.
A true hacker would duct tape the airtag to the android phone and call it a day.
This is great. Suggest one additional bit to show black at the bottom. That way the player of black is not handicapped by playing from an upside down position.

Or just rip off the chess piece design of this other minimalist chess board simulator, which is never upside down:

Do they require a recovery address? If so, that is a design flaw that should be rectified.
Ah, I didn't realize (I don't use that feature often enough). Thanks for pointing that out!
You think at some point all these women will proactively visit you in your parents basement?
It's dishonest to the core. "Emotions" which it doesn't actually feel are just a way to manipulate you.
Very much cute :D

And I gotta agree, raylib is cute lil' library.
And I love the fact that it has bindings to so many languages, and e.g makes making games in Common Lisp a joy. Or any language, that one would want to use.. well not all, but a lot.
Yes, it's a good idea to install Python tools or standalone applications with Pipx for isolation, persistence, and simplicity. See "Install Pipx" (https://mac.install.guide/python/pipx).
That does change the meaning somewhat.
Thanks for the transparency!

You can see the flag fluttering in the breeze! It was a sound stage and not a moon landing! Oh wait, wrong one.
Nobody's even been able to offer evidence that these apps are somehow bypassing iOS and Android permission systems to listen in on the microphone in the background without the OS itself knowing.

It's all just really dumb fearmongering that ultimately hurts the credibility of privacy advocates as a whole.

The sad thing is, these companies are collecting mass amounts of sensitive data and using it to drive ads, and we should be doing more about it. There's absolutely no reason to fabricate nonsense like this, the reality is already terrifying enough to creep people out.
I can't parse the meaning of this. Why would a journalist buy an ad?
> relatively dense meaty quads and femurs between the thigh and colon

While it in now way changes the conclusion, quads are on the front of the leg; many people carry it in their back pocket.
Ooh, that sounds nice. Beats my current slew of emails around week 3 of the month.
Got a link to any docs to get set up quickly?
Imagine how warped your personality might become if you use this as an entire substitute for human interaction. Should people use this as bf/gf material we might just be further contributing to decreasing the fertility rate.

However we might offset this by reducing the suicide rate somewhat too.
The reduction is not a lossless process.
Thoughts on Copilot for Security's Early Days
People are really missing the point of the sick mom metaphor. When people were acknowledging the problem and the mom was getting treatment, things were better. When the author was pointing out there was a serious problem and people resented them for saying so and ignored it, that was bad.

If people acknowledge there are certain serious problems in the world and that something needs to be done, things will get better. If people keep shooting the messenger, that is bad.
This is a trite column with no practical, actionable advice. The HN comments on the story are more perceptive. Downvoted.
I wish we were that clever, but it's really just the combination of "data lake" and "data warehouse", which isn't even coined by us :)
I was describing nix to a friend and he offered this summary:

> Haven't loaded it up since. I still feel bad about lying to bytes on my drive lmao.

I understand this feeling and also would feel bad. I think it’s a sign of empathy that we care about things that seem capable of perceiving harm, even if we know that they’re not actually harmed, whatever that might mean.

I think harming others is bad, doubly so if the other can suffer, because it normalizes harm within ourselves, regardless of the reality of the situation with respect to others.

The more human they seem, the more they activate our own mirror neurons and our own brain papers over the gaps and colors our perceptions of our own experiences and sets expectations about the lived reality of other minds, even in the absence of other minds.

No one will touch theft with a 40 foot pole because then they are effectively calling for vigilante justice and a confrontation is liable to escalate.
I just asked ChatGPT-4o what's new compared to GPT-4, and it mentioned search as one of the latest features based on RAG.

Then I asked it to explain RPW wireless system, and the answers are much better than with ChatGPT-4.
I find this hard to believe because this issue was known for years.
All of that can be achieved in the same way via email.
My point is that a 4% increase in numbers on a scale where zero does not equate tot he total absence is not actually 4% hotter.
The single most natural part? Doubt
In 2017, the feds said Tesla Autopilot cut crashes 40%–that was bogus (2019)

16CHF is like $17.60 now. That is still more expensive than the states, although I guess $13 in Seattle + tax works out to $14.30.

Whatever, for what I made in Switzerland, it didn't seem like a big deal, and you can live pretty well in Swiss with very deterministic costs, whereas in the states, tax and tips sneak up on you.
Workbench had support for this mode.
DMEU is a synthectic bonding resin. but im not sure that by itself is in any way a problem. Are you talking about pattens that are sublimated onto cotton shirts?
This. We are mostly token predictors. We're not entirely token predictors, but it's at least 80%. Being in the AI space the past few years has really made me notice how similar we are to LLMs.

I notice it so often in meetings where someone will use a somewhat uncommon word, and then other people will start to use it because it's in their context window. Or when someone asks a question like "what's the forecast for q3" and the responder almost always starts with "Thanks for asking! The forecast for q3 is...".

Note that low-effort does not mean low-quality or low-value. Just that we seem to have a lot of language/interaction processes that are low-effort. And as far as dating, I am sure I've been in some relationships where they and/or I were not going beyond low-effort, rote conversation generation.
I am not fluent in Arabic at all, and being able to use this as a tool to have a conversation will make it more dependent. We are approaching a new era where we will not be "independently" learning a language but ignore the fact of learning it beforehand. Double-edged sword cases
I am not sure the relevance of your point. Are you suggesting that we have imported as many family docs as we have non-family docs on a per capita basis to keep the ratios the same? If not, what’s your point?
Big if true.

Do you have any kind of evidence that you can share for this assertion?
I would say that the instance (or second long interval) in time that we name 2016-12-31T23:59:60Z is 1483228836 seconds after 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z, and that 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z is 1483228837 seconds after 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z [0].

The key here is that I use "seconds" to mean a fixed duration of time, like how long it takes light to travel 299792458 meters in a vacuum[1], and this version of seconds is independent of Earth orbiting the Sun, or the Earth spinning or anything like that[2].
If I understand you correctly, you use "seconds" more akin to how I use "days in a year": Most years have 365 days, but when certain dates starts to drift too far from some astronomical phenomenon we like to be aligned with (e.g. that the Northern Hemisphere has Summer Solstice around the 21st of June) we insert an extra day in some years (about every 4th year).

I haven't read RFC 9562 in detail, but if you use my version of "seconds" then "seconds since the Epoch" is a meaningful and monotonically increasing sequence. I suspect that some of the other commentors in this thread use this version of "seconds" and that some of the confusion/disagreement stems from this difference in definition.

The paragraph in Section 6.1 titled "Altering, Fuzzing, or Smearing" also seems relevant:

> Implementations MAY alter the actual timestamp. Some examples include ..., 2) handle leap seconds ...
> This specification makes no requirement or guarantee about how close the clock value needs to be to the actual time.

[0] Please forgive any off-by-one errors I might have made.

[1] I know that the SI definition between meters and seconds is the other way around, but I think my point is clearer this way.

[2] I ignore relativity as I don't think it is relevant here.
These kinds of topics come up frequently ("Your phone is secretly tracking you!!!") and this may sound a bit harsh but it always is interesting to me how people aren't able to use basic critical thinking skills to debunk them. It's like I sometimes say "The conspiracy theory doesn't even make sense even if you take everything it presupposes at face value":

1. As you point out, this isn't even some "super secret government" tracking you. They are basically advertising that anyone selling any random shit could take advantage of this feature. So obviously it would be trivially easy for anyone with the motivation to go and buy some of these ads to get clarity if some voices were actually being tracked. There is literally no way for this technology to be hidden given how it is described in TFA.

2. Companies don't need these secret tracking technologies, because the overt tracking ones already give them tons of information: your location, what you searched for, browsing history, your friends and family, etc. etc.

3. Given that ads are already super targeted, whenever this story comes up you always get these anecdotes of "I was talking about some totally random thing like pantyliners and then THE VERY NEXT AD I SAW WAS FOR pantyliners! Indisputable proof!" I've certainly had a similar experience. But it's certainly not that hard to see how these kinds of coincidences would be quite common given how good ad targeting already is.

Like the saying goes, "Anyone who is a conspiracy theorist has never been a project manager..."
I agree with you if we're just talking about phones, but not all devices run Android or iOS.

TVs, streaming devices, Amazon Echo , etc. are all explicitly marketing platforms with a loose enough terms of service to allow this.
As soon as the new neighbor moved in I got airtag notifications for days until I silenced them. I can see the prompts being scary/confusing for a lot of people. It basically says "unknown airpod is following you around!!!!" almost making you think you have a stalker that put one on your car, when really its the neighbor getting home from work and tossing their keys on the counter near your wall.
I think this is unlikely to be "game changing"

OpenAPI is the de facto standard now and most tools interact with that

There will be (are) many bespoke languages that try to simplify the authoring, none will dominate the market
> My point is about autonomous software that can figure out how to run itself including registering its own API key and paying for its own service.

Most means of generating income are diluted by having multiple actors applying them, which is why someone who comes up with such an automated moneyprinter will be disincentives from sharing it.

Instead, they'll just use it directly.
If you can imagine, say, being imprisoned in a 10x10 cell for the rest of your life, and how that would affect your own internal sense of "free will", I think you'll realize it's not arbitrary.

One of the debates around free will centers on an idea that free will means actions must be physically random. So, I think people understand that probability and randomness are really important pieces to understanding free will.

The missing link is understanding that probability is a state of mind. It doesn't matter that the physics is deterministic. (Deterministic physics is indeed also responsible for my current unique perception of my consciousness, so deterministic physics can do a whole heckuva lot.)

So, yes, my moment-by-moment decisions in the sea of the universe's physics and other conscious agents are determined by physics, but to all possible computational agents my moment-by-moment decisions and their affect on reality are weighted random.
My conspiracy theory is that data brokers want you focusing on the things that aren't happening (any meaningful use of microphone audio to target ads) because it distracts from that their collection methodology is already so robust, invasive, and complete that they don't need to do that to deliver ads that seem as good as if they were listening.
I find `just` to be better suited than `make` for this use case: https://github.com/casey/just

The sibling's comment (re. just shell in files) is good too, and often I'll put all the various commands into a subdir, and `just` is just an interface to that, particularly so if a given script/command gets complex.

Then, `just` is really a signal "hey, this repo supports this interface" and things like `just -l` for discoverability.
Okay, fun question... (Honestly not sure where I sit on this...)

I've always been very skeptical of the sale/spinoff of various divisions of automakers in the 80s/90s. To me it always felt like they were looking for a short term profit vs the general 'steady pace' of government contracts and the like, I also can't help to feel amazed nobody even showed a good second option for the next gen mail carrier... but again, I feel like it's because everyone sold the farm already.
To prove that it's possible to buy ads targeted on microphone audio. If this kind of targeting was really as widely available as the article implies, a journalist would be able to do it fairly easily and write an article about it.
'Follow the Money ' $2B of Crypto Scams Found on Ethereum
Biggest showstopper for me personally is Make's inability to properly pass through arguments from `make run <arbitrary number and type of arguments>` to the underlying program.

Some of the issues could be avoided by requiring a -- and using the .SILENT modifier, but some are extremely difficult: e.g. it word-splits strings and you can't just pass "some string" as a single argument, everything will be separated by spaces.

In case the underlying program is a script-language wrapper that you also control, it is possible to hack around and let Make pass through its own $$PPID so that the underlying script could read the nul-terminated /proc/<Make's pid>/cmdline and pass it on to the actual program.

This, of course, only works where procfs is a thing, so e.g. on macOS (if it's among your target platforms) you'd have to reinvent the wheel and learn a whole lot of Darwin sysctl dark magic to read arbitrary process' arguments, at which point you'd ask yourself if this is even something a sane person would ever do...
If thats the case, then I must have gotten a stalker the same day as I got a new neighbor moving into the adjacent unit.

My life as a Chinese spy: Secret police agent tells all
>the many-worlds interpretation is basically the result of saying it doesn't

Few problems with this, the state that a particle can be in after the collapse of the wave function follows a probability distribution, so if all states are equally real then why does it seem like some states are more likely than others? Why would probabilities be such a powerful mathematical tool, and how would it work in a MWI.

If all points of the universe branch out into several universes after each particle interaction, where does all this energy come from? If all branches are equally real why even have the wave function in the first place?
And do you want more of that?
Very cool. In addition to the FEN, it should have the move history, maybe as a fragment.

I was conversing with it in Hinglish (A combination of Hindi and English) which folks in Urban India use and it was pretty on point apart from some use of esoteric hindi words but i think with right prompting we can fix that.
I couldn’t quite tell from the announcement, but is there still a separate TTS step, where GPT is generating tones/pitches that are to be used, or is it completely end to end where GPT is generating the output sounds directly?
Same results with the zig zag for me and a neighbor.
Try a triple-click.
The meaning of this is that the proposed technology doesn't exist and is bullshit. If "CMG Local Solutions" were actually able to listen in on your conversations, investigative journalists would be all over this trying to prove/disprove and understand the privacy implications. The fact that they haven't speaks volumes.
lol Dallas is the only major city in Texas where "going to the store" doesn't almost always means HEB, too

also, complaining that you can't find Thing unless you go to a Mexican meat market is a weird way to boast that your area has specialty grocery stores.
They aren't collecting gender. They're guessing at gender. If they're doing it right, they're just storing a score representing likelihood. I don't think it's a given how the courts would rule on that... even in California.
What do you call people who attach speculative pejorative labels to those who dare to suggest that action should be considered because the status quo may be similarly risky?

Don't forget: the status quo is what got us into our various pickles in the first place.
In the customer support example, he tells it his new phone doesn't work, and then it just starts making stuff up like how the phone was delivered 2 days ago, and there's physically nothing wrong with it, which it doesn't actually know. It's a very impressive tech demo, but it is a bit like they are pretending we have AGI when we really don't yet.

(Also, they managed to make it sound exactly like an insincere, rambling morning talk show host - I assume this is a solvable problem though.)
Great work but I cant relate to it because I am not from Istanbul?

How do I add it for other cities. Specifically, for San Francisco Bay area or for Hyderabad, India.

Seems pretty easy to do on popular urban trails to be honest. Some of the trails in my town have a group of people every like 30 feet and its pretty easy to end up keeping pace with them the entire hike unless you walk faster and pass them up.
Because I’m a well educated grown up and am familiar with a great many subjects that I want to learn more about. How do you? I can’t help you with that. You might be better off waiting for the technology to mature more. It’s very nascent but I’m sure in the fullness of time you might feel comfortable asking it questions on basic optics and photography and other well documented subjects with established agreement on process etc, once you establish your own basis for what those subjects are. In the mean time I’m super excited for this interface to mature for my own use!! (It is true tho I do love and live dangerously!)
It's a distinction without a meaningful difference. It's geo-locked because non-global rights exist, and non-global rights exist because geo-locking (implemented technically or not) is possible.
You seem very sure about this.
You don’t notice the thousands of ads that don’t seem suspicious.
The aliens are actually pan-dimensional light beings. That is why they are afraid of high quality cameras, if they get caught in a photo they are stuck here forever. Running this algorithm on pictures of UFOs is actually an intergalactic warcrime.

I have Alexa (Amazon Echo Show) and my use-case is asking for a news briefing, the weather, playing music, or setting timers.

Alexa is a dumpster fire and constantly getting dumber. She also completely disrespects your settings and will re-enable settings you have disabled. She constantly ignores my questions to ask me if I want to try some other new feature instead. She randomly decides to add news stations I have explicitly removed from my Flash Briefing list.

I am constantly baffled by how bad it is.
When Graphical User Interfaces first became popular, there were certainly things that were easier to get done using the old way (the command line). But when the majority shifted to GUIs, it was no longer profitable to maintain the old way. Today, unless you are a developer, most things are done using GUI interfaces. The same thing will happen to "Apps" vs. "AI Personal Assistants".

I can see how shipping could be more especially if it needs a cardboard case. Perhaps shipping would be negligible if we had more localized production and less long distance shipping. Rail shipping would likely have a negligible shipping cost difference. Even something like increasing the use of concentrated syrups and fresh made sodas could be a benefit for packing reduction and shipping costs.
Maybe not those devices in particular, but there are plenty of terms of service and spokespeople on the record saying utterances are captured and passed on to third parties. One TV company CEO famously said you should leave the room to have a private conversation.
