I had a Sonim XP3 "dumb phone" that I used for a year and successfully drove my screen time down from 1-2 hours per day to <10min.

The key for me was that the input (T-9 keyboard) and output (tiny non-touch display) modalities were so constrained that any task that wasn't completely trivial was made so painful that I would put it off until I was in front of a computer, if I did it at all. This was a great way to filter out tasks that weren't truly important enough to work on immediately in the moment.

The downfall was my new job which required travel for work, which meant needing a phone capable of managing flights, navigation, and coordinating with my coworkers.

If my circumstances change, I fully intend to switch back to the XP3 or something similar.

I do wish there was something available that could perform those tasks I need for work, but not give me the "full throughput" to get distracted.
A good example of a failed attempt at whataboutism.

You are on "Hacker News", surely it's not that much of a surprise?
Interesting. Why does it take hours to retrieve then? Network/disk bandwidth really is that bad? Also do you have a source for this?
This is so pointless and petty too. Like "hee hee our software is just like the movies". And continuing the trend of tech moguls watching bleak satire and thinking it's aspirational.
It actually works on both ends however recruiter way is prob the most expensive way for especially employers but also in some cases for job seekers. + I am not sure how scalable recruiter setup is.
> i think all the charges are based around failing to let in enough food aid, causing a famine

No, starvation is only one of the alleged offences: "the use of starvation as a method of warfare, together with other attacks and collective punishment against the civilian population of Gaza"

It would end up in a proxy war, surely. Iran would back Hamas and a coalition of KSA, UAE, Egypt, and Israel would spearhead the Gaza situation from the other side. It's still a shitty outcome but IMO a better one. For one, regional actors are incentivized to deal with the situation in a way that spillover doesn't affect them (Lebanon and Egypt have both been vocal about not accepting refugees), but most importantly it wouldn't be as affected by the US political news cycle and the heart-rending imperialism that creates (essentially American domestic interests and politics affecting regional politics in the Middle East, meaning Palestinians have no say over their own politics in any meaningful way, unlike American college students.) The biggest risk would probably be Russian and Chinese interests coming into the region which would surely prompt a US reaction, but I'm not sure how much Russia or China would have to gain here if the US were not involved.

It would have probably ended in a civil war type situation but at least you wouldn't have widespread famine or the bombing of hospitals or further civilian atrocities. Also forcing regional states to allocate their own resources to the conflict means there's a direct incentive to wind it down since their resources are a lot smaller than the resources of the US. Israel would eventually face domestic pushback over wartime spending and the autocratic states in the region would have to balance their funding of the proxy conflict against their own ambitions and budgets. Iran is somewhat democratic and they too could only fund Hamas so far before looking after their own affairs. A civil war would also create a generation fatigued by conflict and more open to compromise. The unilateral nature of this conflict will guarantee that Palestinians and dissidents in the region will hold this as a grudge over Israel and the US for decades and might even open the possibility of further terrorism against the US.

The US's own nation building efforts in the Middle East after 9/11 flagged due to outrageous spending that materialized in minimal results. The same effect with poorer governments would naturally circumscribe the conflict in the area.

Ahh, yes, like when the IDF told Gazan civilians by evacuation order to move to the south of Gaza because they were going to intensify bombing in the north.

And then increased bombing of southern Gaza by 85% in the next 10 days...

Exactly. That's what "punning lists" means.

That's arguable. But the real problem is if XAR and XDR accept it. Functions, however they are implemented, should not be mutable. That way lies madness.
I'm not assuming it is, that is what it was about a decade ago when I was graduating.

Question for the Mag7/FAANG employees out there - how many state school engineering programs do you send recruiters to job fairs at? How many state school new grad hires do you make? And I mean broadly speaking state school, not the handful of super selective elite ones.

I mean Uconn, Penn State, etc.
That makes sense, and I share your sentiment about the naiveite and idiocy for some of these people. that is to say, I think the dream of self-reliance is a noble one, but simply holding a noble ideal doesnt make someone praiseworthy. Execution speaks volume.

I think what I was most reacting to was your statement "wasting their time producing nothing much of a value". I took this to mean value to the greater community, and I strongly disagree that this should be the main benchmark which people should be judged against. It strikes me as oddly entitled to their labor.

There are multiple things that we denote using a particular symbol: 1. 1 in and of itself is not a single concept. You could replace the symbol 1 with any other, even the sound of a fart and the concepts still remain the same. Given that we somehow agree that a fart sound shall be the way that we refer to a concept/object/thing.

It's a largely useful conceit to use 1 for all of those objects and more besides. It makes talking about them easier but we do have to be careful to use the correct rule-set for their manipulation.

I would personally prefer to see 1.0 for "rational 1" or perhaps 1. but that would require a convoluted sentence to avoid 1. being at the end of the sentence, unless we allow for: 1.! Well, that would work but what about 1.? Oh for ffs, I mean: 1..

And, as a result, Hamas has been gone from a rent-extracting governing authority with 16 combat-effective brigades, deep connections to the IRGC, and ongoing funding not just from the Gulf States but from Israel itself(!) to an international pariah with military leadership hiding in tunnels and its last 2 allegedly combat-effective brigades preparing to make a valiant last stand behind a wall of civilian refugees in Rafah.

Yes: Israel did exactly what Hamas expected. The problem for Hamas is twofold:

* Hamas thought the urban combat to root them out of Gaza City and Khan Younis would be a Vietnam-scale bloodbath that would tie the IDF up indefinitely until they were forced to make a truce.

* Hamas's messianic nutbag leader genuinely believed that he was ushering in the end of days, and that the IRGC's other assets would immediately commit to full scale combat operations against the IDF. Instead: Hezbollah noped the hell out, and Iran launched a large scale drone attack that ended up providing a Boeing and Lockheed-style fireworks display in which other Arab states, even as Israel was massacring Palestinian civilians, pitched in to help. Then Iran "declared the matter resolved". Gulp.

Sometimes, if only strategically, it makes sense to do what your enemy wants you to, because your enemy is stupid.

Trying to imitate her voice to get around paying her wouldn't be okay either. Waits vs. Frito Lay taught us that, if nothing else did. The question is whether people would think they were hearing Scarlett Johansson's voice when using that product, and the answer is yes, so they have to pay her to trade on her identity.

Its pretty similar to an indictment in the US (to judges rather than a grand jury); its an unopposed process where the prosecutor knows the standards and chooses when to bring a case to that step based on confidence in being ready to meet the standards. There's not a lot of probability of surprises if the basic work is done competently and in good faith and not with an intent to push the envelope.

Trials won't take start until the individuals being tried are in custody for trial. (They don't have to be at the same time.)
I guess there are two cases, a Wisconsin state case (March, out on bail, still pending) and this federal case. Apparently it is not double jeopardy to re-arrest for the same thing (or different statutes, in this case) if one is state and one federal.
I usually take it as, they installed Linux on it and support it. I will use my own install after formatting a drive (or carrying one over from the previous machine) but it’s more like a seal of approval that Linux works.

And if the company are good stewards, they will upstream any drivers/kernel modules for that hardware too.
Worse than that, good luck positioning yourself as a paragon of "AI safety" when you can't even handle basic human business relationships honestly.
.NET is kind of like JVM but also usually includes an SDK, a build system and a package manager (NuGet), when people use the term.

It is then targeted by various languages: C#, F#, VB.NET and smaller projects - anything that emits "canonical" .NET assemblies (that use IL) works.

ASP.NET Core is a web framework for .NET, it's distributed with SDK so "comes out of box".

EF Core is an ORM framework, it does not come out of box and can be added as nuget packages (the dependency itself and then specific DB driver).
I can't fathom such a bad decision as asking someone for permission to use their voice and doing it anyway after they say no. It's almost like NYT is currently suing them for unauthorized use and they should really not be making such an amateur mistake.

Interesting. I have been thinking of building something just like this. Basically by using a web proxy that logs all my traffic (after all, 95% of things happen on the web these days). There's actually some tools for this purpose already.

However, this would be such a treasure trove for bad people that I'd have to secure it so damn well that I didn't really think about it. Of course I'd have to break open TLS using a MITM certificate which is a whole can of worms.

However if I would do this it is something I'd want FULL control over. I definitely don't want to give it all up to Microsoft and trust their blue eyes. Nope. Really nope. Their track record of things like Edge is so bad, first introducing a nice tool and as soon as it gets a tiny bit of market presence they start milking it already (think things like the shopping bar, or the buy-now-pay-later scams in edge).

No. Good faith conversations with truth as their goal don't come out swinging with legal threats, period. It's certainly possible that taking it there was a regrettable mistake. But without those threats being publicly walked back, I don't see why we should just assume that's the case.
It probably made things worse, but the fact that they reached out to her to use her voice and she explicitly refused would be sufficient ammo I feel. (Not a lawyer of course).

Of course, Twitter continues to bring people with big egos to their own downfall.

Kubernetes will never stop being esoteric.
This is hilarious. OpenAI didn’t even need to press for this voice, their technical demo was impressive enough, but they did and now it’ll cast a shadow over a pretty impressive AI advancement. In the long term though, this won’t matter.
Well, that statement lays out a damning timeline:

- OpenAI approached Scarlett last fall, and she refused.

- Two days before the GPT-4o launch, they contacted her agent and asked that she reconsider. (Two days! This means they already had everything they needed to ship the product with Scarlett’s cloned voice.)

- Not receiving a response, OpenAI demos the product anyway, with Sam tweeting “her” in reference to Scarlett’s film.

- When Scarlett’s counsel asked for an explanation of how the “Sky” voice was created, OpenAI yanked the voice from their product line.

Perhaps Sam’s next tweet should read “red-handed”.
LVM (Logical Volume Management) is a tool for managing storage devices and partitions in Linux systems. It allows you to create logical volumes, which are flexible and resizable partitions that can span across multiple physical devices. The advantage of using logical volumes is that you can adjust the size and location of your partitions according to your needs, without having to repartition your disk or lose data. You can also create snapshots of logical volumes, which are copies of the data at a certain point in time. Snapshots can be used for backup, testing, or cloning purposes. In summary, LVM provides several advantages over the traditional partition-based method, such as:

1.) You can easily resize, extend, or reduce the logical volumes without affecting the data or the file system.
2.) You can create snapshots of the logical volumes, which are point-in-time copies that can be used for backup or testing purposes.
3.) You can use striping or mirroring to improve the performance or reliability of the logical volumes.
4.) You can add or remove physical devices to the logical volumes without disrupting the system or the users.
5.) You can use encryption or compression to enhance the security or efficiency of the logical volumes.

LVM is widely used in server disk management, as it provides more flexibility and control over the storage resources. LVM can help you to optimize the disk space utilization, improve the system performance, and simplify the backup and recovery processes. LVM can also enable you to use advanced features, such as RAID, clustering, or virtualization, on your server. To demonstrate LVM, we shall use lvm2 package installed on Ubuntu 22.

No, it is not proof of anything. It is evidence that your claim that "People like to say that lisp had a much greater influence than it actually did" is wrong.

Probably a mix of true believers (“Trumpism is a cult!” is basically a meme but also contains a kernel of truth) and rich folks looking to make a “donation” to Trump without directly doing so.

It’s like how Trump’s hotel in DC was constantly packed until the day he lost the presidency. If you were a foreign dignitary, walked into the Oval Office and tried to give Trump a suitcase of cash… well, that would be bad. But if you walked in and said “Mr. Trump! My staff and I have been enjoying our stay in the luxury suites of your hotel” then that’s just innocent conversation about how you recently transferred some money into his pockets!
Works great when you only need a few people and the effort to filter people is significant on a small team.

But, it gets really expensive as a company grows both because you need to pay more and because it forces you to accept worse candidates. Still worth it if you’re in a high reputation industry like investment banking, but not if you’re just looking for talented doctors.
The CS+X model that CMU, Stanford and UIUC pioneered is the best middle ground imo.

Were you born before the civil war in Syria? (>300k civilian deaths)

Before the war in Yemen? (>300k deaths and I think >20k civilians just from Saudi coalition air strikes)

Before the Russia-Ukraine war? (>25k civilians killed just in the siege of Mariupol according to Ukraine)

Before the US war with Afghanistan? (>46k civilians killed)

There are supposedly 30,000-40,000 Hamas combatants. The IDF said in December that it has killed 8000 Hamas combatants. In February it said 12,000 were killed. I don't know where you're getting your 1:20 ratio. Hamas certainly does not differentiate combatants from other casualties and at any rate you should have zero trust in their numbers. There were probably certain situations where a specific target was attacked with that or even higher ratios but the overall civilian to combatant casualty ratio, while unknown, is almost certainly nothing close to that.

What is your reference to "Israel is fine with killing up to 15-20 civilians for every lowest-ranked Hamas member"? I've never heard of that.
