Slightly off-topic; but does anyone know legitimate reasons why Seiko spring-drive-like movements are either very expensive or don't exist? And any patents should have expired by now.

A spring-drive movement works by electro-magnetically braking and regulating a clockwork that is driven by a self-winding spring. The electro-magnetic brake is controlled by a quartz-clock. This means a watch with a smooth sweep, powerful drive, and quartz accuracy. It seems it would require fewer parts and less precision apart from the circuit itself, which shouldn't be too different from other quartz movements?
1. Congress creates an executive agency called "Protect The Environment Agency" and tasks them with creating and maintaining regulations around pollution - air, ground, water, etc.

2. The PTEA makes a regulation stating that, per their mandate, all people must personally declare plastics are bad for the planet or else they get taxed $100 a year. This is clearly a violation of the first amendment.

3. You are suggesting that under Chevron, no one would have any remedy for this unconstitutional behavior?

3a. That a person would not have agency to sue in federal court to say this regulation is unconstitutional?

3b. You suggest Congress has no power to explicitly prohibit the "PTEA" from imposing individual fines related to speech on the environment?

---

It seems from another comment, regarding 3b. you agree Congress can make laws adjusting the scope of agency power. That leaves 3a.
I use HxD as well. It is an interesting and fast tool.
I think it's a complaint of JetBrains IDEs loving to eat memory (and possibly having a large install size), which is true, although historically Eclipse, NetBeans and others have also had a similar reputation, with Eclipse also being modular to the point where some people's opinion of it has been soured due to bad tools built on top of it, as well as an arguably awkward workflow at times.

Then again, it's all probably relative - most IDEs (including the likes of Visual Studio) are slow compared to something like Lazarus, VS Code can feel slow compared to Sublime or Vim but whether that matters much is up to the reader. Personally, I like the features that JetBrains tools have, and those are more or less my daily drivers (I pay for the Ultimate package of all tools, alongside GitKraken, MobaXTerm and some other software), others might differ in that aspect.

That said, I don't think that JetBrains Fleet is quite as good as VS Code yet, so I use VSC for my more lightweight editing needs or on lower spec devices, sometimes also dropping down to Notepad++/Gedit or Nano for simple text/config files as well.
App-ifying articles is an unfortunate path many sites have gone down. Islands of interactivity are great for special cases (games, some charts), but delivering a few KB of text via an application framework is overkill.
I am talking about the people you meat online, they know english and they could read the real history and use the brain to decide what is true. Though I witness the Zeds using unnatural logic in their conversation/debating. I bet there are tons of Russians much smarter then Putin in Russia, the problem is that the KGB is behind Putin for now.
This is an awesome recommendation. I've tried reading him several times but I can never get into it. Definitely going to try this out.
Ask HN: How to find a new job when I'm not good at networking?
I'm not a genius, nor do I believe I'm the absolute best at what I do.

It took me 30 years to realize that, no matter how good I am, networking often determines success. I'm in a career I don't enjoy, unable to move up or change, while others get jobs through connections. About 80% of my colleagues were hired this way, while a few of us got in by luck.

Networking seems to drive career advancement.

I'm naturally a loner and find it hard to feign interest in others' lives. I prefer spending time alone and struggle to genuinely connect with people.

Emotional intimacy drains me, and I dread future interactions, even though I know this is normal.

While I'm okay being alone, I feel that relationships are crucial for progress after a certain point.

I even broke up with my partner because I can't handle constant companionship. It was so draining that I stopped enjoying sexual intimacy.

I'm fine without a partner; I don't want to subject anyone to my solitude. However, I want to change careers, and I know connections are vital.

I'm feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward. It seems the two crucial factor (luck and networking) are outside my influence.
I know someone who went through this. dreams followed. Pursued a sport through college, didn't quite make pro. afterwards life languished and didn't quite amount to much.

I think people might need to have a plan b, but honestly I don't know very many people who do. People are good at doing what defines them, not hedging.
People have personified devices and machines for centuries. My wife’s laptops have been “Lappy” (from Strongbad) since she’s had one. It would be odd to start drawing a line at a particular type of device.
i didn't say that.

all i am suggesting is that a court in panama acquiting people charged with money laundering is not interesting to me, because that is what i would expect from there. likewise a court in europe or the US judging them guilty would not be interesting.

but the reverse would be interesting in both cases because it would be a surprise. for the US/europe i'd be interested to know what went wrong, and for panama i'd be happy to learn that things are not as bad as the reputation of the country, or that things are improving.

i don't need to read stories that confirm my expectation or bias, but i care about stories that challenge them and let me learn something. i haven't seen anything in the comments that suggested that there would be anything to learn here.
>>The theft is legendary and there are no auditing controls on the money given to Ukraine.

Sure, that one I've heard - but to go from there to "Zelensky is on it [genocide of the ukrainian people]" is quite a leap.
Breaking up Google? Not sure what you could realistically do here. Bids are blind. You could force them to disclose bidders to make sure they're actually real.

I've always found it incredulous that over the years you just have no idea what you're bidding for in context. No bid spread, no bid participants. Nothing. You get a number and whether or not you want to pay it.

It's definitely their lack of security posture. Their being a big target also doesn't help, but their shithouse attitude and practises is probably their main problem.

Cooked him? They had a perfectly pleasant and interesting conversation for the first 75% of the talk - both regularly shooshing the clueless moderator.

Then at the end it turned more towards morality and Foucault showed himself to be quite clearly completely, illogically, disturbingly amoral - as Chomsky himself later more or less described him (a video which has been linked in other comments)

No person with a shred of moral character or intellectual honesty could ever conclude anything remotely close to Foucault winning, let alone "cooking" him.

edit: It starts building up to the real conflict/debate around maybe 45min, but it really becomes concrete at 54:13. Foucault just finished rambling about "destroy the bourgeoisie " and Chomsky says "surely you believe that your role in the war is a just role" and then further lays down some very sensible, insightful ideas about justice.

Foucault then says something to the effect of "the proles dont fight for justice, they fight to have power for the first time in history. One wages war to win, not because it is just".

Chomsky disagrees, but remains patient and extends an olive branch to him to say something less insane - suggesting that if such an overthrow would lead to a terroristic police state (e.g. the USSR, north korea etc...) , then I wouldn't want the proles to win. The only justification for such action is if one thinks - rightly or wrongly - that some fundamental human values will be achieved".

Foucault just doubles and triples down and they go back and forth.

YET, he even ends up agreeing with Chomsky by saying that the "suppression of class power" is the goal. Chomsky says ah hah, so you finally agree with me then.

And foucault just dodges it and rambles some more. Chomsky then again shares some beautiful and insightful, yet humble, ideas.

And then it ends.

Foucault - and postmodernism in general - is all about narcissistic resentment.

If you reread my comment more closely you'll see that I'm not. I list a couple of options, only one of which is suicide. I'm willing to tolerate various things that I consider repugnant, even though there is a limit.
> He would periodically shut off power to payphones on his route

Pay phones do not require an external source of power to operate the line or the internal phone mechanisms.

> causing them to trap whatever coins the callers would insert

It's been a while, but my recollection is that if the coin relay loses power it should return the coins to the user immediately. This is why the Green Box and shorting diodes would work.

> He'd return at a later time, turning the power back on. The coin return would then empty and he'd get the coins.

It's interesting how people will try to turn stories of petty theft into clever achievements.
Or.

Hear me out.

You're going to then publicly embarrass another co worker. Not a good idea.

I need to clarify though, there's a difference between functional code that could have been written better, and code which does nothing at all .

I was at a company where three or four people literally were writing code that did nothing but was appearing to function correctly. Imagine an API that checks the status of another service, and you just code it to always return 200.

Instead of trying to save an organization from itself, you can just go somewhere else. I did so and I got like a $30,000 raise.

That would be super surprising for everyone. Including themselves.
It does look like it's invoking a specific Perl version, but the version of Perl you use will be the one available in your path. When you say "use v5.40;" you are enabling a "feature bundle" that the language makes available as of that version.

https://perldoc.perl.org/feature#FEATURE-BUNDLES

For example "use v5.40;" is shorthand for

use feature qw(
bitwise
current_sub
evalbytes
fc
isa
module_true
postderef_qq
say
signatures
state
try
unicode_eval
unicode_strings
);

(It also does a "use strict").

It's a way to make new builtin language features easily available without turning them on by default.

If you try to import a feature bundle which is greater than the version of Perl you're currently running, the code will not compile:

> Perl v5.40.0 required--this is only v5.34.0, stopped at foo.pl line 1
Thank you so much for this recommendation! I tried an audiobook version once before but felt like I was missing a lot of context. This looks very promising (and is on spotify)!

Meanwhile there's unoccupied storefronts en-masse all over my city (DC). Its not something I thought I d miss in the world, but this small retail store thing seems like it's totally crushed out, between Walmart-ification & Amazon.

What I haven't seen is the return of more affordable interesting local spots. We have a couple dive-y places that've hung on, but there's been very few below-average cost places that have opened. It seems unlikely but maybe someday there'll be some rebalancing, rents will go down, people will start trying to put up more down to earth accessible experiences & options.
But wouldn't that fact that, as you point out, job postings aren't a reliable indicator of business performance precisely because of their propensity to be BS itself diminish any impression they might bolster?

In other words, why would investors who want to use hiring as an indicator of performance deliberately look at job postings, which they know might be BS, instead of payroll budgets on the financial reports, which aren't?

In general in the US only White Evangelical Protestants and Black Protestants have less than a majority who believe assisted suicide / euthanasia should be available for "great pain and no hope of improvement", and those two groups still have over 40% who believe it should be available.

> that change was held in some kind of side compartment so the same coins inserted could be returned

That's exactly how it works.

> or there was a way for the payphone to make change.

It was controlled by a relay. If the CO pulled the relay to bill the call, the coins would divert into storage, otherwise the coins would fall into the return. If the signal was weak or was intentionally blocked then the coins would always fall into the return. It's possible that users just didn't notice the coins falling into the wrong slot.

Understanding Frequency Modulation
Compared to LangChain:

Compared to us, LangChain is a library and we are a framework. LangChain helps you achieve lots of different engineering tasks for LLM application, like calling different LLMs, managing your Vector DB, etc. However, by itself, it doesn't help with accuracy much. To improve accuracy, you will need to use LangSmith, which is their non OS platform and is their monetization model.

We are a framework that helps you build an LLM application for Rapid Experimentation.

In practical terms, we provide an interface that controls the schema for the input and output of your LLM application. We don't control how you actually implement the LLM application, you have complete control over that. You can easily use LangChain, or other libraries, within our application to help you achieve engineering tasks like calling different LLM models.

The reason we control the input and output interface is so you are able to build a more modular system, which can help easily run experimentation on different configurations of your system. We then have lots of integrated tools that streamlines this experimentation process.

So the biggest difference is we help you standardize the overall process for your LLM Development so you can easily run lots of experiments. In contrast, LangChain provides you with tools for different tasks in LLM development like calling LLM models or managing your Vector Database. Both of these can be used together where you use LangChain for various engineering challenges, and we help you with streamlining experimentation.

Having the right process for improving accuracy is important because you'll likely need to run hundreds of experiments to improve accuracy -- so we are focusing on making this process as frictionless as possible.
That nuclear take is bad though. We can manage the waste, but even if we fail the consequences are dramaaaaaatically less severe than those of extra warming.
The demand might be there, but if you have a proven way to get recognized as a "good developer" during the hiring process I'd love to hear it.
> the burden of proof would be on anyone claiming that a large binary is direct creation

That's not how any of this works. Once I've submitted my binary to the escrow, then it's an original work worthy of copyright until challenged. If someone breaks my copyright, I simply assert my originality and get an injunction against it by default. If the adversary claims my work is a derivative, then the legal burden is on them to prove it - because they are the ones rising it as defense against infringement. So I've already quashed 90% of adversaries by this point just by legal intimidation.

Also, you are attacking a strawman version of this problem. In practice, what will be submitted to the repository are binary object files for the core proprietary sections that are unlikely to be changed, for example the file format definitions to preclude interoperability. Anything else can be source, the final linker step is automated etc. The market will also offer tools for binary randomization and compiler signature obfuscation.

So you are left with a technological arms race that needs to be settled in court, on a case by case basis, using expert testimony where the burden of proof belongs to the infringer. It's just absurd to think anything like this could ever work in practice to promote source availability, or there would be public benefits to put such a highly litigious system in place.
That's what white glove delivery is for.
This is definitely true. Distance/time running is the most effective lever you can pull to increase performance assuming your form isn’t completely messed up.

I used to run competitively in my teens. Now nearly 40 and getting back into it. Recently upped distance to 50 miles a week (mostly slow) from 20 and I’m suddenly doing sub 17min 5ks. Couldn’t get below 19 mins before upping mileage.

> It seems like a cultural difference, that in America, corporations are trying to comply with the laws in the most malicious ways, and most customers get angry about the laws rather than about the corporations.

The only goal is to avoid lawsuits, that’s why in every product there is a warning, a car owners manual used to contain lots of useful info, even timing belt diagrams and ignition advance angles, now they are just a “warning encyclopedia”. We are a litigious society and that’s what we get for that.
Seems like they need to do this for the paywalls.
> It's a damn shame that western nations couldn't pony up sufficient air defense before it was needed rather than waiting until after it was too late.

For the record: Ukraine has no defense agreement with any of these western nations that are currently supporting them, and there is 0 chance that - if roles were reversed and another European nation had been attacked - that they'd have supported this theoretical victim.

The way you're phrasing that is honestly outrageous.

I agree with the GH issues. Seems like every popular project gets hugged to death with them. You can either be closing them at light's speed like `kovidgoyal` or you can just roll with it like Flutter, VS Code, or Typescript.
I saw it with my father, also. Some people aren't ready to accept that death is coming and blame anyone/anything they can rather than accept it. Just try harder, you can do it!

No. The cancer was everywhere and it was aggressive. Try what harder? There was nothing to do. Someone close to them felt my mother was being evil and incompetent in not pushing him to eat more. While he lost a lot of weight the cause of death was when it got his kidney (one had already been removed when it was thought to be stage 1.)
People suck.

Have you thought about a career coach or hitting up a recruiter at a recruiting company? They can 'advertise' and promote you to their clients. Often times they only staff temporary positions (i.e. v-endortrash), but sometimes it is permanent placement.

You have to have proof that a claim is "widespread" if you are asserting it as such without any sources, as you have.
There is a language toggle button in the bottom right corner, but at least on my mobile device it is entirely obscured by the cookie disclosure button. And worse, the search seems entirely broken if you switch the site to English- I got no results searching eg. for everything in the "Painting" category.
Compared to other Eval frameworks:
Evaluation frameworks are often just a tool to help you grade the response of your LLM application. They may provide some proprietary observability and tracing tools. They however do not help you structure your LLM application development so you can easily test different configuration of your applications. They also do not help you build or deploy your LLM application. The responsibility you have when using an evaluation framework is you need to build your own experiment management system that helps you scale your experimentation process across your team. You will have to manage lots of fragmented tools and ensure they integrate well together to get a full picture of your LLM application.

We are a more integrated framework that helps you build your application for experimentation, scale running these experiments, and deploy finally deploy your LLM application. We provide a more integrated experience for your team to work on LLM applications.
