No, the plan was changed to have a fixed monthly fee in addition to the cost per kWh for all, but lower income households will have a lower fixed monthly fee.
Asking people - or indeed governments - in isolation if they'd like less migration is a bit like asking if they'd like less rain. Leaders and media who were up-front about the reality of the choices we face would make for a less toxic situation, but they're too lazy and cowardly, it's easier to lie for political points than to tell hard truths.

Agree re the NHS, my overall views are left, but the centre-right analysis that it's a National Sickness Service is correct, where is the investment in public health to reduce demand? Most Brits barely get out for a walk once a week, our environment doesn't prioritise health (driving everywhere, fast food outlets..) and the complaints when the state actually tries to do anything about it are endless.
Useful for criminals too. Come to think of it, a serious large sized criminal org would probably have such a map internally. And since there are more orgs like that, there is probably such a map-as-a-service somewhere for those in the know.
This is in fact purely a political decision: a nuclear power plant is in reality less prone to being attacked than a virology lab, and the consequences are way less severe [1], then why should we expect the former to have much more stringent security rules?

[1] unless you leave the nuclear reactor unattended in the hands of terrorists for days, they won't be able to extract any nuclear material (which would be the worse case scenario and only one comparable to terrorist stealing a vial of Ebola or Smallpox)
The game requires a PlayStation Network account, and those cannot be created in the banned countries. The controversy was caused by the fact that the PSN requirement and country bans weren't enforced on launch, so people bought a game that then stopped being available to them.

Valve is banning people for using VPNs.

Lockdown (the TOTP app, not the VPN/firewall app) has both, but it is essentially abandonware now. I wrote my own exporter for it:

My point is: are you sure the candidates failed because of their programming ability (unable to use substring), or was they confused due to the question itself? It is very easy to get to the situation in a interview where the candidate is just straight up unsure on what the question is about. The candidate might fumble not because of not understanding #substring, but rather whether you would accept it as an answer.

Many people would say those candidates should be failed anyway due to X, Y, Z reasons. But I want to highlight that in those cases, the interviewers should realize they are assessing something else, and not programming skill.
This is begging the question, because the cavalier attitude described in the anecdote above illustrates how that advice arises.
Sure. But during a casual chat maybe somebody mentioned that reporting tax fraud can earn you money, and then somebody else assumed that they were talking about IRS employees even though they were not.
travesty: a debased, distorted, or grossly inferior imitation https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/travesty

Unless you grind leetcode problems, it is unlikely one could solve them in 30 minutes (you are supposed to cheat). For example, see whether you can come up with Manacher's algorithm (or any other O(n) solution in 30 minutes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_palindromic_substring#... (the example is from the real interview for senior position (implies multiyear programming experience)). I could see a dynamic programming solution (quadratic) be implemented in 30 minutes but not O(n). Try it for yourself.
The vision and theme and gameplay is excellent. The game is absolutely riddled with bugs, though, and every update adds more. It was a massive surprise success from a small studio and they are really struggling to keep it together, the game is made on a engine that stopped getting support like 8 years ago. It's worth the money now but hopefully in a year it's a lot more solid technically.
Like others have said, AppleTalk is the right way to solve this.

But if we’re going with crazy hacks, I bet one could emulate an ADB keyboard to copy binaries onto the laptop by sending keystrokes to “type” hex into ResEdit.
I enjoyed it for a time. It's a particularly well executed blend of co-op and third person shooting, like the Starship Troopers game I've wanted for a while. Amusingly, there was an officially licensed Troopers game that came out shortly before Helldivers 2, and it basically went nowhere.

I stopped playing because the developers don't wish for me to continue playing at my preferred difficulty, and lock me out of mission types and progression unless I play at the annoying, stressful high difficulties they prefer.
I didn’t check last year but free tax USA didn’t support importing stock trades. I didn’t wanna have to input every single trade I made.
Sure, but in this case the noise was loud enough and widespread enough that I suspect it wasn’t.
Presumably they have a Russian subsidiary company and use local payment providers. MasterCard and visa do the same.
I've been following the news about Google Cloud's layoffs over the past two years, and it’s pretty concerning. They’ve been cutting roles and implementing cost-saving measures, which seems to be hitting morale hard. Now, with AI being such a hyped game-changer, it feels like Google isn’t winning the race.

Layoffs can really bring down the spirits of those who stay, and right now, Google needs its best people more than ever to stay competitive in AI. It’s a huge field with so much potential, and it seems like Google might be shooting itself in the foot with these cuts.
Yes - a thousand yeses.

I once got asked "what was a life changing company/product" and my answer was WhatsApp - to slightly bemused looks.

WhatsApp connected the world for free. Obviously they weren't the first to try but when my (very globally distributed family) picked up WhatsApp in '09/'10 we knew we were onto something different. Being able to stay in touch with my brother half way across the world in realtime was very special. Nothing else at the time really competed. SMS was expensive and had latency. Email felt clunky and oddly formal - email clients don't feel "chatty". MSN was crap on mobile and you both had to be online. Ditto for Skype. For calls we even used to do this odd VOIP bridge where you would each call an endpoint for cheap international phone calls.

Meanwhile in 2012, I was able to install WhatsApp on my mum's old Nokia Symbian feature phone, use WhatsApp on a pay-as-you-go sim plan in Singapore communicating over WAP. The data consumption was so low I basically survived 2 months on maybe 1-2 top ups. Compare that with the other day where I turned on roaming on my phone (so I could connect to Singtel to BUY a roaming package) and my phone passively fetched ~50+ MB in seconds and I was hit with 400SGD of data charges (I was able to get them refunded)

I am very grateful to all the work and thought WhatsApp put into building an affordable global resilient communication network and I hope every one of the people involved got the payout they deserve.
If a mathematician can determine the square root of -1, I have faith they’ll be able to “see” “prior” to the Big Bang.
Getting rid of mortgages rather illustrates my point. You'd lower prices but also destroy people's ability to afford/buy... anything.

Prices are a function of people's ability to access money, not their direct income.

And to your last point.. they need to build housing in places where there's the infrastructure to support it, or build the infrastructure. Building to suburban-like density in areas with a rural-like level of services (not just transport but shops, schools, leisure) is a recipe for misery.

The big new housing developments they're putting in outside midsize town ring roads are a case in point. Too far to walk to the centre (and indirect routes, because of the ring road), but the centre itself doesn't have room for them to park cheaply. No bus so no independence for teens. Nothing at all to do on the development itself. And that's before we get to the quality and design of the actual builds.

It's American style living done on the cheap. At least in the States they build large so there's room to do more at home, and the whole place is low density - their solution to the challenge of town centres is not to have town centres.

I was referring to the effort of collecting taxes themselves - ie. The salaries of all the IRS workers who have to chase everyone up.
No, they worded it like that to avoid saying something like 'due to the weak-a** currency'.
Same for electronic part numbers. Search engines will just go "eh, pretty close" and mix in results for, say, TPS562201 with those for TPS56221.
What? Hasn't everyone who has done a CS degree implemented his own programming language as part of his course work? Just like everyone has written his own OS during university?

Of course it is something very valuable to do. And you can definitely learn a lot doing it.
There was one, it is called Meteor.js. However, it is widely regarded as ahead of its time.

Not like an LLM hallucinating is particularly surprising or newsworthy anyway.
Viewing things through a "battle of the genders" lens like that is toxic. The men getting screwed over today are completely different individuals than the men who benefited from unfair policies or norms in previous generations. You aren't getting revenge by retaliating against young men, just hurting innocent bystanders.
isn’t it just about mind to muscle connection
If you don’t read the article or do not have showdead on in your profile, you may miss that it is related to players according to the article from Russia or Belarus using VPN’s to bypass restrictions.

“Players in these countries have taken to using VPNs to change their location to be able to access Steam in other parts of the world where the restrictions aren’t in place. (…) Valve has smartened up to this practice and has made it difficult to do and many users are banned once it is discovered.”
So we are talking about more tech savvy users who use VPNs to violate steam’s rules. Rules like region (b)locking, largely for Russia… and taking advantage of price differences in different countries to get games for less money. Like cheaper prices in Argentina.

This isn’t necessarily about hell divers 2 players. At first I assumed this was about angry users who left negative reviews and got banned for brigading.

I don’t feel too sorry for countries who are banned because of sanctions or people who pretend to be from LCOL countries to save a buck.

> Sony can ban Steam accounts

Sony is not involved in Valve's decision to ban accounts for bypassing region restrictions, though they did contribute to the surge thanks to the bungling of the Helldivers 2/PSN situation. I suppose the question is should Valve be lenient to these customers considering the extenuating circumstances.

Recently I've been getting banned all over the place.

It wasn’t always free. It did originally compete with other newspapers.

Once Metro went free then it was inevitable the Standard would have to too. It seems even that model is not working for the Oligarch owner.
From the link:

> Radio time signals for setting chronometers were sent from stations such as NAA in Arlington, Virginia, which began broadcasting in 1913. The time was supplied from a direct communication line with the clocks of the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C. In combination with another low-frequency installation mounted on the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the towers had the range to cover the North Atlantic Ocean and the eastern United States.

So I looked up the Eiffel tower.

Also, same source starts with the 1898 proposal of time sync via radio being made by an Irish bloke.

Agreed. Even non-civilian, and whoever came first, the timeline of things across various countries, I don't think the core point of TFA holds water: it's not a "particularly American" thing, it just made sense out of engineering requirements: time sync was transmitted over telegraph wires, and telegraph went wireless; the leap is not exactly surprising.

I think NoScript does that as well (it has a LAN checkbox).

Personally I would prefer social media without the ability to "retweet" at all. I want actual original updates from the people I follow, not news (fake or otherwise) or chain letters.
I was recently reminded of the 1/9/90 rule :

The so-called 1/9/90 rule posits that on a social media network or review site, only 1 percent of users will actively create content. Another 9 percent, the editors, will participate by commenting, rating or sharing the content. The other 90 percent watch, look and read without responding.

This is my experience as well. So also true on HN, where are majority are just lurkers. (Hi there lurkers, good time to get an account! ;)

I think if you are lurking you far more likely to just consume something without actively giving it a second thought. I think of the adagio that to really know something, you have to teach it (or being able to explain at least) and that doesn’t happen in passivity. It happens in dialogue.
An experiment would be to create high quality, non-commercial websites with pages containing these hex strings and see if the pages appear in Google SERPs.

The fact that Google returns car dealerships when the user is searching for hex strings is telling.
Thanks for the in depth, passionate followup! Right off the bat I want to clarify that I was talking about human cognition, not just typical attorney work — I’d stand by the assertion that it’s hallucination all the way down, at the very least “hallucinating a symbolic representation of the book passage you read 2s ago”.

Re: LLMs and law, I agree with all your complaints 100% if we constrain the discussion to direct/simplistic/“chatbot”-esque systems. But that’s simply not what the frontier is. LLMs are a ground breaking technique for building intuitive components within a much larger computational system that looks like existing complex software. We’re not excited about (only) crazy groundbreaking products, we’re excited about enhancing existing products with intuitive features.

To briefly touch on your very strong beliefs about LLM models being a bad architecture for legal tasks: I couldn’t disagree more. LLMs specialize in linguistic structures, somewhat tautologically. What’s not linguistic about individual atomic tasks like “review this document for relevant passages” or “synthesize these citations and facts into X format”? Lawyers are smart and do lots of deliberation, sure, but that doesn’t mean they’re above the use of intuition.

As far as we’re in an argument of some kind, my closing argument is that people as a whole can be pretty smart, and there’s a HUGE wave of money going into the AI race all of a sudden. Like, dwarfing the “Silicon Valley era” altogether. What are the chances that you’re seeing the super obvious problem that they’re all missing? Remember that this isn’t just stock price speculation, this is committed investments of huge sums of capital into this specific industry.

in the OP example, this is considered bad

let x: string = "hello world";
x = 32; #type error

however, a well designed strong typesystem should be able to compose types to allow this if desired by the coder (eg. to read in a column of numbers from a csv)

my $forty-two = 42 but 'forty two';
say $forty-two+33; # OUTPUT: «75␤»
say $forty-two.^name; # OUTPUT: «Int+{<anon|1>}␤»
say $forty-two.Str; # OUTPUT: «forty two␤»

Calling ^name shows that the variable is an Int with an anonymous object mixed in. However, that object is of type Str, so the variable, through the mixin, is endowed with a method with that name, which is what we use in the last sentence.

> The French, the article says, built 58 (ftfy) reactors, standardizing the parts and processes but still could not control costs

This is crazy bad faith at play here! Between the start of the French nuclear program and the end, two major international accident (TMI and Chornobyl) occurred and lead to massive changes in safety regulations. Of course it's going to have an impact on costs!

Also, in the meantime there had been a huge return on operation experience, which allowed to design plants that became cheaper and more efficient to operate (load following is much easier on the second generation than on the first for instance) but obvious lead to changes in design, but that's still part of the learning curve.
How would you handle it? Give them a stern talking-to?
I am in the EU and use a VPN with servers in other EU countries and don’t particularly try to hide my location from Steam when it comes to billing, but this still feels kind of worrying. What if they also suddenly decide to purge my account with all of the games I have?

Or, for example, getting an affordable non-region-locked (global) key, or even a key that’s no longer for sale on Steam itself (like the first DIRT Rally game) from gray market sites like G2A.

Revoking any product that they find problematic or refusing to activate it, I could understand. But blocking the whole account? Kind of crazy.

I hope that Linux will be the best way to live the AI dream. AI on Linux could enhance user privacy and security by giving full transparency and control over data, ensuring that AI functionalities are aligned with individual preferences.
I hope for a common system pattern where a local-first, frontline AI manages tasks and requests, seamlessly relaying them to either cloud services or specialized local subsystems, such as RAG-enabled components.
Linux is uniquely positioned to bring these advanced features to the desktop without compromising privacy. However, if Windows e.g. offers the ability to select any text, hit a hotkey, and seamlessly format, improve, and correct grammar across all applications, while Linux lacks these capabilities, Windows will gain the upper hand again.
