MX record change and you’re off to the races. Tangentially, I’d also be interested in putting an acquisition together to acquire FastMail if ever in financial peril, in order for it to persist as a going concern and arguably, a public good (like Let’s Encrypt).
I am sure Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya, did not have a choice when it came to US military intervention.

Per your logic, all countries in the world must dedicate absolutely all that can be spent on building up their militaries.
Because having a strong military is the only possible way to not get invaded, bombed to pieces and/or occupied

This further requires all countries to take all possible action to develop
nuclear weapons.

That is the only way they can be safe right?

If 193 countries in the world have nuclear weapons, then there would finally
be peace. Well each country would have to continuously innovate and create
more lethal forms, and new forms of delivery to stay safe and maintain peace.
I agree with the 4 suggestions under "Unintuitive New Invariants" but add consider taking magnesium just before bed. My experience is that it helps the whole body relax, enabling sleep to be more easily achieved. Discuss it with your G.P first.
Telegram messenger is fantastic. It works over GPRS (AKA 2.5G) connection. I love sailing, and the moment we see nearby island and get data connection - Telegram immediately starts working. WhatsApp tries, but actually works only over 3G.
Considering that they’d filed the first application for a non-LWR in decades I don’t think they did that bad. Still I thought it was a waste that they went on and on about the risk of supervolcanos and never said what they would do if the sodium coolant caught on fire. (Not that hard to answer, necessarily as you can detect it, drain water if is involved, and put the fire out…. But you’ve got to have some answer for an SFR.)

There's a persistent, pervasive conflation between diversity of identity and viewpoint. I find that the modern era doesn't tolerate diversity of viewpoint except to fall under one of 2 nearly hermetically-sealed, tribal camps in their pre-approved flavor of rigid orthodoxy. As such the people who believe themselves to be "liberal" in the modern era appear to convey illiberal, intolerant, and inconsistent behaviors they supposedly oppose in the other camp. It could also be an extension of US celebrity culture and hyperindividualism with the evolution of social media.

Celebrating diversity as a central feature while trying to shoehorn in substance as an afterthought destroys the credibility of both. Equality/equity for all means not going off the rails with selective exaltation. Only the DEI cult wants a DEI movie category when they turn on Netflix.

In other societies where discrimination appears rarer and tolerance is greater, I notice different interaction patterns. For example, I used to have a startup in the UK that inherited staff from a partner's company. We (the managing directors) had to give a little side eye to the IT manager (Argentine) and one of the other managers (African) because they would tease each other with the most racist slurs imaginable as morning daily greetings in jest. It was only okay so long as no customers or outsiders would hear, and only if everyone else around was genuinely not bothered (mostly sales people with thick skins, the sales manager was a middle-aged woman who was absolutely riotously-hilarious at the pub). I appreciated that they were fond of each other, but there's a balance to walk between personal freedoms and professionalism at work. These managers understood contextual appropriateness and that no identities were material, it was their work that mattered.

Perhaps diversity of identity should be not be a central feature to be either celebrated or discriminated against, but acknowledged nonchalantly, make jokes about, and not make such a fuss about.

> Actual Lightning headphones and headphone adapters have a tiny little digital-to-analog converter (DAC) inside the Lightning plug. It’s like a little computer. Doing it with Bluetooth and using the Lightning plug only for power is surely easier.

So how does he think the adapter ultimately converts digital audio received over Bluetooth to analog audio output over a 3.5mm headphone plug?

In other words, what makes a DAC "a little computer", but a Bluetooth SoC plus the same type of DAC "surely easier"?

>I don't think it will be long before you can trust a model more than a human expert.

You will never be able to trust a LLM more than a human expert. Because human expert will use the best available tools (for example, LLMs), will understand "what the client wants" and will put the data in the right context. At best human expert and LLM will be indistinguishable, but I really doubt it. And I think it will take a long time.

At least it's my opinion, we'll see what happens.
Genuine question, who even uses Heroku anymore?

A VPS (hetzner, etc) + managed postgres DB (supabase / AWS / etc) or a local one might more more than enough these days.
nuclear has an opposite but related storage problem to solar and pv; whereas it's hard to reliably predict and line up solar and wind power, it is also generally hard to spin nuclear up and down quickly according to peak power demand as well. one of the first uses of pumped hydro was to store excess power at nuclear stations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludington_Pumped_Storage_Power...

transmission is also an issue at nuclear stations, because no one wants to live near one, and they generate so much power you would probably need additional transmission capacity wherever one was sited anyways.
Isn't that an issue with who provides the UTMA account?

Have you tried https://www.handwritingOCR.com?

It is designed to do exactly what you are looking for, and has been used very successfully by many others for that same purpose (I’m the founder).

It is not as cheap per page as Google Document AI, for example, but it does tend to be much more accurate for handwriting, so usually ends up cheaper when editing time is factored in.

If you find it does work well with your handwriting, please get in touch and I can try to fit the pricing to your use case.

Marketing is the interface to the consumer and includes everything from deciding what you think customers will want and how to design the product to that to how you service the product in the field. It’s not a synonym for “bullshit” although marketing can be bullshit as much as any kind of investor communications or PR, either of which is a better description of this article.
Lol they do that at Denver too. You have to be an assertive kind of personality to get thru that. Or just don’t book with one of the discount desks and stick to hertz/alamo

Not OP, and I'm not sure specifically about which dark patterns you're referring to, but I can take a stab:

It's because Dropbox doesn't have a good business model (anymore).

Microsoft, Apple, Google, etc. are happy enough to give storage away for free, or almost, and their solutions come pre-installed. For the average user, it'd be an uphill battle to get people to install Dropbox even if it were comparable price-wise to OneDrive, iCloud, Google Drive - and it's not, because Dropbox actually needs to make money off cloud storage and these companies don't. It'd need to be leagues better than those other products (think Firefox overtaking IE, for a time) - and it's not. I think its sync is quite good, but I don't know if it's so much better than the alternatives that it'd persuade significant numbers to switch. And, as others in this thread have pointed out, its desktop client kind of sucks.

Moreover, "files" themselves are becoming an antiquated concept. They're definitely not dead yet, but they're almost a power user thing at this point. Documents are stored on the cloud, embedded inside the specific web app (Google Docs, Notion, Figma...) you used to create it. It sucks, but that's the direction we're heading. File sync is becoming less-and-less essential, to fewer-and-fewer users.

Dropbox is a public company: they can't just shrug their shoulders, tend to their core user base, and iterate on their product. That's not going to produce the kind of growth they need to keep investors happy; you need a good business model to produce that kind of growth organically. Hence you need to produce it inorganically: dark patterns.

The 'introduction' mentions Hans Walter Gabler’s book 'Critical and Synoptic Edition' (in 3 volumes) that compares all the different editions and notes all the (often small) differences. I feel it typically a book that would be much more worth in digital form. (It would be nice if the author would allow it to be digitized.) If one would have the digital form of all the editions, it would be much easier to compare them. I am aware that this will be an enormous effort.
I use LLMs daily in coding and it very clear to me (as a humble average thinking machine) that it is an approximation of reasoning and very close one. But the mistakes it makes clearly shows that this system does not really understand, it is not very different from the mistakes those who memorized text do. Humans, when they really think, they think differently. That is why, I would never expect the current architecture of LLMs to come up with a something like special relativity or any novel idea, because again it doesn't not really reasonn the same way deep thinkers, philosophers do. However, most knowledge work does not require that much depth in reasoning, hence LLMs wide adoption.

Dev tool companies like ours need to post on social media. Developers like to discover solutions to their problems on search engines and social media rather than responding to cold outreach.

But to us, posting on social media feels like being asked to drink the Three Poisons (greed, hatred, and delusion). We had to find a way to make social media feel less unskillful. So we created the Meme Sutta.
Nuclear still loses to PV/wind even with those considerations. And it loses massively if you project those (especially PV) down their historical experience curves.

Seriously; do you really think the experts pushing PV/wind have not thought of this? It's been very well addressed.

I'm struggling to understand why the analogy of folding a piece of paper into a torus works. I can see that I can easily roll the paper up into a cylinder. But if I then want to bend that cylinder so that the two ends meet, I'd have to stretch the outer part the torus. This is clearly visible on their diagram where what were squares on the flat paper are wider on the outer part of the torus than on the inner. If I then unfold it, I won't have a flat piece of paper anymore. In other words, it seems to me, you cannot in fact make a torus from a flat piece of paper and the surface of a torus is therefore not flat. Additionally, looking at the torus diagram, straight lines that run from the outer part to inner part get closer together as they approach the inner, meaning that the distance between two "parallel" straight lines varies depending on where you are on the line. I didn't think a flat surface can have such a property.

What am I missing here?

EDIT: here is a stackexchange answer claiming that the surface of a donut-shaped torus is indeed not flat: https://math.stackexchange.com/a/4377256
I once worked at a mom-and-pop ISP back in the late 1990's. The previous sysadmin overloaded the UNIX password field in /etc/shadow to be used for account suspensions, when somebody wasn't paying their internet bill, the custom "Web UI" he built would allow the business owner to lock out the account by changing the shadow password field to "*", thus denying the user dialup internet access.

At least one customer figured out that they could call the girl at reception, tell her they'd forgot their password, and she'd reset the password for him, which restored his access without paying his bill for another month. He started to do this on a monthly basis.

The punchlines:

1) the front desk girl was the girlfriend of the business owner; you'd think they'd communicate about a customer who was getting away with this, and how they were doing it

2) the sysadmin who built this system went on to become a well known project leader for an major open source encryption project that is in wide use today
Putin has repeatedly sought to negotiate a resolution to this but the biden admin has quashed it.

> No, you can still grant permissions to web extensions, but the difference is that it's now explicit, and it is at least possible to design extensions with minimally-required privileges.

The problem is the reverse. Some permissions are now considered "too dangerous" for the extension, so there is no facility to grant them even if the user wants the extension to do that and it has a good reason to.

I'm saying that we should give people the tools and information they need to decide if and to what extent they can trust something, instead of presuming to decide for them.

Understanding comes in many forms. My uncle will not be able to model the fuel flow in his car's engine using the Navier–Stokes equations, yet he can still drive better than me. When it comes to LLMs, an understanding of the transformer architecture is wholly unnecessary to develop a good model of their capabilities and pitfalls. HN commenters tend to lack both a technical and abstract understanding of LLMs, while non-tech people tend to only lack the former.
> But in its unedited form serves as dirty laundry, and including the language from the threat actor is both unnecessary and inappropriate.

A threat actor has intent to hold a company ransom for $20 million and your first reaction is to feign offense that the word 'retarded' appeared in a chat log? These are not charm school graduates.

I've seen that analysis - depending on how you model it, solar+wind+batteries is often still cheaper, plus batteries are solar are getting cheaper every year, while nuclear isn't (historically it's been getting slightly more expensive over time). So if it takes a decade to get a nuclear plant approved, even if it's competitive today, it probably won't be in 2034
Awesome sleuthing!

Should we discover any more files to recover from the laptop, I may explore this avenue a bit further. If the ZTerm software is present, the trickiest part might be physically connecting the serial port to something else. Not an insurmountable problem.
I think Indeed will have a huge legal risk selling personal data, but it could be scammers pretending to hire just to collect resumes, and of course the personal data of the applicant.
Planes are typically used for longer trips though, not for getting an ice-cream from the stand around the corner. It is reasonable to expect some baggage allowance, the whole trip rarely makes sense without it. Charging for carry-on bags is almost like charging you for the air you breathe. It is abusive, because it's basically lying about the real cost of the ticket.

A reactor that small needs highly enriched fissionable material. Of course it would need guards, since it's a proliferation nightmare.

I’ll cut to the chase. You’re hung up on the definition of words as opposed to the utility of words.

That classical or quantum mechanics are at all useful depends on the truthfulness of their propositions. If we cared about the process then we let the non-intuitive nature of quantum mechanics enter into the judgement of the usefulness of the science.

The better question to ask is if a tool, be it a book, a thermometer, or an LLM are useful. Error rates affect utility which means that distinctions between correct and incorrect signals are more important than attempts to define arbitrary labels for the tools themselves.

You’re attempting to discount a tool based on everything other than the utility.

If you put quotes around the string (the "exact match" operator), the only results are this very thread. So it seems to be working as intended.

Basically, you did a fuzzy search and got a fuzzy result. Usually that's what people want. Quotes will let you fine-tune results. Or if you want all results to be strict by default, use verbatim mode. I tested that with the above string and again, only this thread showed up.
