I feel like you only read the parts of my comment that you wanted to read.

I basically acknowledged that my view contradicts itself. People need the option to rent, but rent-seeking landlords are terrible people.

I literally, word for word, said:

"What's the alternative? I don't know. But I don't need to have a solution in mind to point out the problem."

The onus of finding a solution does not have to lie with the people pointing out the problem.

tmux/screen do not break copy-paste. And that tmux/screen have their own scrollback is a feature.

The selling point for shpool is simplicity, which I appreciate. I need terminal multiplexing, but I might use shpool here and there.

I was on a small team of 10 that experienced very strong growth in our product. One of the consequences of success is that we had to take hundreds of calls per day. We eventually had to hire dedicated customer support people but after hours were an issue.

There are large outsourced customer service companies but those cost $1 a minute and those people have to deal with CS calls from many different companies, so it took them forever to find scripts relevant to the customer’s request. Most calls failed - that outsourced CS was a glorified voicemail box.

Our success rate with outsourced CS was very low, partly because we didn’t have the resources to fly over to Austin to train a workforce that didn’t show to be particularly promising.

AI voice bots would have been able to helpfully answer and deflect 90% of our calls, and do so in a much faster and humane way.

Just out of curiosity, is your 3D printing experience on the consumer side? Or the professional/commercial side?

There are various types of non-destructive testing that could be integrated into a larger scale 3D printer for post-production analysis, and it's a direction I'm surprised there hasn't been more movement in.

I guess it depends where the suit originates. Did the suit originate in the idea of a class action law firm and they head-hunted the lead plaintiffs to bring the suit? If so, it will be money all the way.

If the suit started with the plaintiffs who had been violated, and they went and sought a law firm to bring suit, then the relief might be different.

It's hard to bring suits like this pro bono. I have a court-appointed pro bono lawyer for a suit against the government right now that goes into settlement next month. I've had to weigh up several times the issue of whether I want settlement money, vs. fixing the constitutional violations for hundreds of thousands of people. Each time I've gone for the ethical option, but it looks like I might get both at the finish line; but only because the defendant is left with the option of going to trial and losing and then having to pay probably close to a million dollars to my lawyer, or settle with me and my lawyer gets nothing for all the hundreds of hours him and his whole team have put into the case.

These cases require inordinate amounts of legal and clerical work to see them through to a solution. I've never seen relief like the one in this case, which seems bizarre though.

To be honest they are pretty clear about it in their packaging.

If it says solid wood it's probably fine.

If it says particle board or fibre board or something other than solid wood it's an "assemble it once and never move it again" piece at best, and a "keep it for a few years" piece at worst.

It's not like it's a problem unique to ikea. Buying particle board or mdf furniture is always going to give you a much worse product (in terms of quality and longevity) compared to something made with solid wood, or at the very least with decent quality plywood.
It is not a fringe theory. It is quite mainstream. Boeing is ostensibly "protected from above" due to their military and space contracts, but as we're seeing with Starliner, such contracts are proving to be a liability.

Welcome to our Chart of the Week blog series!

Today, we’ll use the Syncfusion WPF Pie Chart to visualize each country’s percentage of global forest area in 2021.

The WPF Pie Chart is a circular graph that divides data into slices to show the proportion of each category. It’s perfect for illustrating percentages or parts of a whole, with each slice’s size corresponding to its value within the total dataset. You can customize the chart with different colors, labels, and interactions to enhance data visualization and user experience.

Electr[on]ic device regulations probably. There's always some form of a contract depending on the nature of a product/service. Enforceability is on parties to research.

I just sort of don't get the question here. Who's responsible? Well, there's no law of nature for that. You and your provider decide together, out of realistic reasons.

Who's stopping you? Probably some guys who got tired of figthing electric fires in their state/city. Maybe they'll consider regulating AI-related products as well, but if you're concerned then maybe you should think that through yourself and negotiate risks, before using/selling off the shelf AI.
> There's no reason housing can't be both an investment and a place to live - Do you think farmers grow and sell food out of the goodness of their hearts?

What an absolute hogwash non-sequitor of an argument. Farmers growing and selling food are actually continually producing things.

Also, I didn't say anything about it being both an investment and a place to live, I said it can't both and investment and affordable. If it's affordable, then the value isn't going up and it's a poor investment. If it's an investment, that means the value is expected to go up and it stops being affordable.
> It was retroactively removed when people started getting close to enabling full GPU access

It was retroactively removed when Sony started worrying about "security" concerns - aka people running unlicensed commercial games, which is usually the killer app for any firmware that supports customization and programming.

It was also advertised on the original PS3 box.

Ultimately there was a lawsuit and some PS3 owners got $10 apiece.
I would spend long hours talking to my friends on the landline growing up. These helped form deep relationships that were pretty much (atleast for me) impossible to make in the limited amount of time you met them at school. I presume something similar happens around cellphones where you miss out on a lot of discussions and have no context for a lot of the conversations that happen the next day. They really need to be collectively banned, it’s not possible to solve this at an individual level.
The presentation is about a few different topics related to learning Raku, IIRC, such as books and docs for learning it, community, code of conduct, etc.

AI Patterns
Understood entirely. Thank you.

It used to be a lot easier to think of do-gooder organizations in tech that seemed trustworthy, and easy decisions to back. I don't know how much it is change of the orgs, and how much it is that we have more information about them.

My next random idea would be the Internet Archive, taking up ensuring an open Git forge is available to society. There's arguably some overlap of mission, in preserving information, and they do big infrastructure already. But my wild first guess is that this probably isn't enough overlap for them to justify the investment it would require.

I don't think the FSF would be able to execute on anything viable, though there's mission overlap, and their heart is in the right place.
Measuring Your Market? Consider Timing
This for sure. Its far easier to rework a refinery designed for heavy, sour oil and make it ready to process light & sweet. And WTI is very light & sweet. More and more refineries in the US have moved to processing more and more light/sweet crude oil as the level of imports lessened.

Compared to the amount of CO2 we add to the atmosphere continuously (still!), I’m quite sure that the CO2 from all the plastic in the ocean is insignificant.

edit: just to make sure that my guess wasn't too far off, I looked up some numbers: we relase about 8 million tons of plastic into the ocean every year. Burning 1 units of plastic produces 3 units of CO2, giving 24 million tons of CO2 if all that plastic were broken down by fungus (or incinerated). We release around 35 billion tons of CO2 every year from burning fossil fuel.

> Essentially the sunk cost fallacy.

Except where is the fallacy to the individual? As a society/nation you can argue these things but same as corporations, the decision makers are individuals.

And if the individual sees surrender as death (or equivalent, life in miserable prison)- Hamas for example - why would they stop fighting? And if you are outmatched then survival demands using every resource you have - rules be damned.

Hamas hiding in the civilian population is not surprising at all. Israel continuing to bombard them with civilians then harmed is also not surprising. This is war, not a game with rules.

It is terribly sad for the civilians. It is horrifying. And yet predictable.

They created a convertible market in hong kong. The currencies are the same but can be de-pegged (CNY and CNH). Overall, I think china will prefer to do managed big deal one-on-one with other countries. This might not cover all of their trade but probably a large (50%+) of it.

n the 1980's, Lynn Conway gave one of the two best talks I've heard in my life. She used sociology to understand how to spread radical ideas, starting with the example of birds in England teaching each other how to poke the foil in milk deliveries, to drink the cream. She applied this to teaching a revolutionary approach to VSLI chip design, in schools across the country.

I had no idea she was trans. When I figured this out, it became part of my spiel to students: If being different doesn't destroy you, it'll make you stronger. It's not simply that one can be just as good a scientist while being gay, for example. No, we live in a country so stupid it may reelect Trump, and there are still issues with being different. If the experience can teach you that many people are crippled by convention and full of shit, that revelation can liberate you to do more original work.
Here are a couple:

- Learn Nix

- Homebrew can be a pain. I've had several occasions where it broke something on my system with its magic. The main reason for this is its imperative (as opposed to declarative) nature. You can easily install things that clash with other software installed on your system.

- You can easily install different versions of the same software without having to worry about clashes

- Fully declarative configuration. You know exactly what is installed on your system at any time.

- Portable reproducible configuration. Imagine you get a new laptop. Because you have have your system configuration declared with nix and home-manager you can copy the configuration file, run install, and your system is set up, exactly the way the old one was.

- To add to the above, you can also do the same with non-MacOS systems if you make your config conditional on MacOS. I sometimes want to work on a remote Linux machine. I can set up a full dev environment with all the tools I use locally with a single command now.

> why isn't the steel an inch thicker?

In our analysis we determined that if the steel doors were thicker it would hinder our team of ex-special-forces security guards from operating their bazookas effectively in the event a suspicious person is spotted. Unfortunately it’s all too common that potentially dangerous fugitives on the run are trying to blend in as “mail carriers” and “neighbors on a walk”. Anyway, the auditors relented on the steel door issue, but then hammered us on why we didn’t have any tanks moving in formation in the front yard as a deterrent. In fairness, the FedEx guy made it all the way to our front door in two separate incidents last week. So the auditors have a point.
This is such a regressive view — a household that can only function on 2 incomes is more stressful than one that can operate on 1. Not saying earning potential needs to be the same — but claiming 1 is worse than 2 doesn’t hold water and is a pathological case.

In the US it’s a shame we so under/de value child rearing as somehow “less than”

Ask HN: Negotiate Your Severance?
My company had layoffs. I and a colleague were among the layoff. My colleague has strongly hinted to me that they negotiated for a better severance deal. They won’t be specific, on account of the NDA.

I’ve never heard of this happening. Why would the employer agree?

The severance agreement is the usual thing: a pittance if you refuse, and a lot more if you accept. You’re already fired, what leverage do you have?
The Voyager Interstellar Mission page on the NASA website[1] is pretty informative.

Voyagers 1 & 2 are both in the final phase of their extended mission (the Voyager Interstellar Mission, or VIM) which is focused on collecting data from the interstellar medium. Their initial mission was completed with their respective flyby of the gas giants.

> It is appropriate to consider the VIM as three distinct phases: the termination shock, heliosheath exploration, and interstellar exploration phases. The two Voyager spacecraft began the VIM operating in an environment controlled by the Sun's magnetic field with the plasma particles being dominated by those contained in the expanding supersonic solar wind. This is the characteristic environment of the termination shock phase. At some distance from the Sun, the supersonic solar wind is held back from further expansion by the interstellar wind. The first feature encountered by a spacecraft as a result of this interstellar wind/solar wind interaction was the termination shock where the solar wind slows from supersonic to subsonic speed and large changes in plasma flow direction and magnetic field orientation occur.

> On Aug. 25, 2012, Voyager 1 flew beyond the heliopause and entered interstellar space, making it the first human-made object to explore this new territory. At the time, it was at a distance of about 122 AU, or about 11 billion miles (18 billion kilometers) from the sun. This kind of interstellar exploration is the ultimate goal of the Voyager Interstellar Mission. Voyager 2, which is traveling in a different direction from Voyager 1, crossed the heliopause into interstellar space on November 5, 2018.

The Mission Status page[2] is also really neat to look at. Although each probe is down to about half of its original sensor stack, they both still have charged particle, low energy cosmic ray, magnetometer and plasma sensors running, and they're both still collecting useful data in the interstellar medium well past the heliopause.

The short answer is: Yes. The most best and most talented chip designers (think the top 0.01%+) - especially if you put together the right team of them - are orders of magnitude better. Would you have 1 Magnus Carlsen or 100 average chess players? Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, et al. or a bunch of college players?

Chip design is one of those fields where there is no skill ceiling to how good you can be, so having the best people means you can crush the competition.
AI is the new shiny thing and rightfully so, and incorrectly named. It's more about computing chips cranking through insanely large amounts of data, which coincidentally or not is what bitcoin and other coins use.

China probably doesn’t want the RMB to become the world reserve currency. The advantages are not a free lunch. Look up the net investment position of the USA and how it degraded after 1970s. All these printed and circulating dollars are a debt to the “US economy”.

>Same with notebooks, you can write NASA-production-grade software in a notebook, but most likely you won't.

One of my family members literally maintains a software platform for test bedding production NASA spacecraft at JPL and it is all on top of Jupyter notebooks.

People are literally on course to build AGI and there’s a good chance that large portions of that work will be done within Jupyter notebooks.

To suggest real work doesn’t get done in notebooks is simply asinine.

As I have embedded further into data science and machine learning teams within my career I have come to learn that a lot of the things software engineers care about around maintainability, reusability etc. are often completely antithetical to data science productivity. In many cases practitioners would consider some of the listed cons of notebooks as features rather than bugs.

There is obviously a time and a place for pulling out those practices in such settings but blindly applying software engineering standards to this kind of work is both all too common and often rather counter productive.

If notebook style dev doesn’t jive with you personally I get that, and god speed. I’ve worked on CV/ML teams with a lot of CS degree grads and they don’t always want Jupyter notebooks. However, I’ve noticed a tendency for folks to extrapolate that to blanket statements about notebooks in general. As someone who has inherited and had to clean up many jumbled/bad notebooks I’m empathetic but I would challenge folks to lean into considering more about the circumstances the previous notebook author was working in and what kinds of productivity outcomes they were responsible and prioritizing rather than casting judgement on said author or their tools of choice.
Also consider perforations in the inert parts of the MouthPad. Especially considering its intended users, it's a choking hazard and sooner or later somebody will get one of these stuck in their throat. You'd rather it not kill them when that happens.
