>Is 132K USD middle class?

From what I could find online, it's at about the 77th percentile for the U.S., so bordering on upper class (usually defined as the top quintile). Since the median household income for Indiana is slightly lower than the national median, it's probably safe to say it's upper class for Indiana.
Additionally, the Kim regime is holding your loved ones hostage to torture in case you defect.
Why not? Things get escalated to one superior, then the next, then the next, until finally someone who can take care of the problem. Of course, going from the lowest level directly to the highest level is a bad idea, but there is some middle ground.
>Boy, I can’t wait for the foundation of my house to disappear because the LLM mis-classified a drilling report as non-hazardous

LMAO! It's so hilarious that people like you forget that the alternative is relying on bureaucracies managed by people that get things wrong more often and are both too lazy and too stubborn to process your application to review your drilling report again.

If using both human-level and AI-level analysis is cheaper and much more accurate (but still imperfect), I'm willing to settle for a better system than oppose all change and die holding out for a perfect system.
It's difficult to construe those as bribes in good faith. If I favor a politician, some underdog, why shouldn't I be allowed to contribute to his campaign? In what ways should I be disallowed from doing so? Is only cash disallowed? Like, if he has some guy come by and clean his pool, can I offer to do that for free, so he can spend that cash on his campaign? Is that a bribe too?

Is it only bad to give campaign contributions if I'm rich? What if I don't contribute to his campaign at all, but I just find (or create) a superpac that says alot of the same things he says, so that anyone who is influenced by the superpac is likely to vote for him?

If instead you insist on no private funding for campaigns, then it becomes the issue that anyone allowed to campaign is chosen by the government through its public funding qualification process. My preferred candidate may be, in practice, barred from campaigning at all.
Ahh, now you're missing some critical details: How can a CRDT perform a sane merge? (Remember my quick brown fox example.) IE, is it destructive (picks one) or does it output something like: "The quick brown fox !!!(ran around|||dug under)!!! the fence."

This is kind-of what git does: It leaves a sane conflict in your source code. (The result is always the same given the same inputs, too.) The merge conflict might not build; but how git handles merge conflicts will always result in a functioning git repository.
I suggest watching a lecture by Matt Might. I used to hate animations but he used them in ways that I found incredibly helpful to understand concepts like parsing transforms and stuff.

They make it sound like they invented their own TTS model or something. I wonder, did they actually, or is this Eleven Labs, some other API, or Style TTS2 or something?

I mean, it seems like there are a ton of papers for attempts at realistic TTS, but hard to find something really equivalent to the Eleven Labs voice clone that doesn't have a non-commercial restriction on the weights or code. Maybe they really did train a model from scratch?

It is a really big company. Maybe they have resources for that.
Only cartoon fish are blue.
Because companies are there to make money, especially those owned mostly by nameless shareholders and run by committee.

And this "brand building" that you describe here has basically zero return on investment.

Of course some company - proablably a private one (not public), could invest into it, but if you want to burn money on something your CEO likes or the owners like, you can use other ideas like paying millions to put your logo on soccer tshirts for hundreds of millions. Or hosting a forum ;)

On a side note, I worked in a company that paid a lot of money for golf sponsorships and couldnt figure out why this "marketing" does not work in countries where nobody plays golf. I think they still havent figured out that there are countries outside of USA.

To me, glasses seem like a very interesting form factor, perhaps with a smart watch or wristband for better hand gesture recognition.

You can wear them all the time, even if your hands are busy, it won't look weird, they're the perfect place for a microphone and a camera, and the frames are just in the right spot for delivering sound to your ears via bone conduction.

Input is probably going to be the biggest hurdle, just like it was with touch screens, especially in situations where using your voice isn't acceptable.

I think Google had the right idea with Google Glass, but they were far too early, just like IBM had exactly the right idea with Simon[1].

Interesting. I still don’t see how it discounts future TE products. The presumption that Jesse being CDO is intertwined with over promises underdelivered AI to me is unlikely to be related; it’d be different in a CTO role. The actual design is quite good, both hardware and the software is pretty cute even if anemic. They have a fairly unique aesthetic that’s tied to the hardware, and they’re experimenting in a new space.

We’ll see what happens to rabbit but they did raise $30M from fancy folks. Because everything from now is just software it can and should improve — we’ll see if LAM eventually makes it. But personally having real world experience in AI, there’s a huge gap between a compelling demo and production quality delivery. Just look at AI overviews at Google, and no one sensible would claim that Google is made up of grifters.
As for animals, they need to avoid predators. I'd say that blue isn't the best color to hide in most areas. So selection should favor other colors, unless the color is used as a warning, e.g. to signal a poisonous creature.

I am convinced that having low corruption is more important to a country than say democracy. I have travelled to many countries and noticed the same pattern repeated over and over again.

Every country has at least some district in the capital city with fancy restaurants and rooftop bars and luxury shopping. If you go to such a place in a rich country and ask people what they do you'll get many answers, you'll find people who do technical work in specialized industries, managers, business owners, etc. In poor countries it is always the same answer, everyone you will meet in these places works for the government.

He knew.

Circuit judges, DAs, all kinds of folks lower on the ladder than him could tell you unequivocally they are. Far less counts.

Anyone in corporate America who’s done anti-corruption training could tell you. Millions and millions of people.

He had a staff he could ask to check for him if he were actually uncertain (and there’s zero chance he was sure they weren’t gifts). A staff he doesn’t even pay for. If he wasn’t sure and didn’t do that, guess what? He really knew the answer.

He didn’t “believe” they weren’t gifts.
Yes, it's either that, or CPU inference. The article doesn't say.

It doesn't mention quantization either.
The sad thing about book collections is that they're not worth buying for book antiquities because chances are that most won't sell at all and the few games might just be worth a few $ so most just end up in the recycling bin once the owner dies. On the other hand that means if you're willing to buy whole shelves filled with books that haven't been preaccessed they can be incredibly cheap.
> the appearance of impropriety

I feel like that is one of the bigger cultural shifts, particularly in politics, that has happened over the last decade. It used to be that the mere appearance of impropriety was enough to kill a political career. Now it seems like not only is the appearance irrelevant, actual evidence of impropriety is losing its effect too.
Why must you destroy things? I am merely trying to restore the checkboxes to their original state in nature.
Good to see!

This looks like something I toyed with in 2016, but (as you may expect from my lack of relevant experience and qualifications) all I found were what Edison called "ways to not make a lightbulb".

The:

The hardware is good and the vision is compelling. It’s also only $200. I think it’s far too early to call it a con.
The idea that appearance of impropriety is bad is a moral one. There are often problems when one attempts to legislate morality.

I personally found 3/4 of that video to be extremely insightful.

> There are more than enough voices in the Linux community that can champion the cause these days without supporting the kind of tired, identity politics and culture war driven nonsense that he focuses on now.

You need to see that between this statement of yours and what Lunduke said in his video, you are promoting identity politics and culture war, and he is actually trying to fight against it.
I stopped going to StarBucks when all the employees started looking like the carnival freak show was in town. I just don't trust people who look that way to handle buy food and beverages.
Interesting take. I’ve been looking a lot into hardening build clusters for our dev teams. We’re a k8s shop and use a mix of egress controls, host isolation, and Falco for detections (although we’ve had stability issues running the sidecar architecture).

- How do you capture context from the builds beyond vanilla ebpf traces? is there a way to see the detection ruleset/customize it

- I’m generally wary of running ebpf stuff on prod infra. Whats the threat model for your tool?

I'd love to give this a spin, but browsing through docs it seems like listen.dev works on Github hosted runners right now. Is self-hosted support on the roadmap?
Of course stack traces are a silver bullet. However, it helps to be able to correlate stacks to requests from logs. It's especially helpful when you're debugging deadlocks.

This ain't gonna work for 1,000,000 checkboxes. You could try using requestAnimationFrame or querying only non-checked checkboxes querySelectorAll('input[type="checkbox"]:not(:checked)') or not calling checkAllCheckboxes for all mutations.

Edit: or just call querySelector('input[type="checkbox"]:not(:checked)') and do them one by one in some kinda while(true) loop

I was curious, so I checked that page and did not find the equation used to calculate the "score", only vague hints.

For the Dissent by Justice Jackson, joined by Justices Sotomayor and Kagan
Why not? When defining a class I should have to be able to have implicit collection of objects of this class with each field of the class kept in its own separate array. It's about memory organisation. And languages certainly feel free to impose those with stack, heap and colocation of all fields of an instance regardless of how varied they are in meaning and usage.
I'd kill for my CU to be a part of that network.
The race is on. What will AI deliver first...? Production-ready code so PMs don't need engineers, or production-ready designs so PMs don't need designers?

The reality is that without domain experts (design, research, engineering, business, law) you're left trusting the AI to make the decision without a good way to check if it made the right one.
I have used to have an obsession with Forth and discrete CPUs when I was a teenager (if you google hard enough you will find an ancient webring of homebuilt CPUs out of discrete components), this obsession led me to my profession now - Digital Hardware Designer.

I do this for a code generation tool we use internally! Plans contain all the metadata to actually do a thing, but allow transformation, filtering etc before execution. It also forces you to abstract your code in a cleaner way, and minimize the surface of your plan generation/execution functions, which makes them infinitely more testable.

The way I think about when to use a plan is whenever you're doing batches of I/O of some kind, or anything that you might want to make idempotent.
Bummer, this place was a bunch of fun
I'm coming to think that we shouldn't bother trying to discourage bribery. It's a common form of business in the rest of the world. What we should do, however, is make the bribery/gratuity/gift part of the public record. We all know that Congress is bought and paid for, but I want to know by whom.

The only time punishment should happen is if a gift/bribe/whatever is not reported. Clarence Thomas's BS about not thinking it was a gift and didn't need reporting should subject him to significant legal penalties.

[edit] Last minute thought: whenever a public official takes a bribe, they should be required to wear a sticker on their suit with the logo of the bribing organization just like Formula One racers have on their suits and cars.
Blue tang?
It's a matter of optics and reflects the growing concern and distrust of the supreme Court in the current political US climate.

Justices are in the spotlight for improper and unreported gifts.

Anyone that's been in a large Corp knows a bit of bribing because of the yearly training you have to take.

The fact they brushed it off as nothing to worry about and now start to make changes that loose regulations is very concerning. Even if these changes don't affect them directly.
Surprising. Visited right before Covid, and it seemed rather popular. Children wandering around playing with exhibits. Would have not expected a place like that to go under. Think every floor had maybe 10? folks while I was there.

Really one of the better hands-on museums with the "lab" component. Had lots of neat digital wall displays to play with, and programmable science toys.

Only downside was location. Tried walking cause I had no idea where it really was, and super-quick realized it was way past the coliseum and almost down to the badlands warehouse district by the freight harbor. Right between the railyards. Bad mental model of Seattle distances. Signage was also really difficult to spot. https://maps.app.goo.gl/SPCCJhT7B9aBfANNA Can you even tell there's a museum there?

Weird part from my own perspective, is Gate's runs a non-profit in his spare time as a hobby(?). Even if they weren't best-bros afterward, it would still take something like finger wagging to a functionary to not have this be a PR dumpster fire.

Some grim future who knows if cloudflare will be the ones under new owners re-writing payloads to serve adverts (or worse).

> The last three illustrate a more practical perspective. Suppose a universal decree, that math is no longer allowed to be done in ZFC, you could only use ZF, was imposed on mathematicians. This doesn't really change anything - all that mathematicians will do is, if they were perfectly fine with choice before, simply replace instances of "vector space" with "vector space with a basis", or "commutative ring" with "commutative ring with a maximal ideal", because the types of mathematical objects they care about are the ones with these desirable properties

Lol, I would love that. That's the book I want to read. I am weird, maybe, but I find the full-generality of mathematics to be exhausting when I just want to understand how numbers and geometry work. I will never care about the details of infinite sets.

I am reminded by a quote from Jaynes' probability text: that in their opinion, infinite objects are only meaningful when explicitly provided via a limiting process from finite objects. It is not, as far as I can tell, a widespread stance, but it's the one I subscribe to.

(Thanks for the lengthy reply, though. Just, it reminds me of the stuff I already find exhausting.)

I have Aeron and my girlfriend has a Markus. To be honest, I prefer the Markus and she prefers the Markus as well. From what I’ve read Aeron requires you to assume a “proper” sitting position and mine apparently is not.
“Congress can’t bring themselves to exercise their powers under the Constitution, so the Supreme Court should allow the President to exercise those powers instead” is a pretty scary argument.
Yes, I can see many similarities.

- Your code specifies design constraints--you need it to do X and Y and Z.

- The engine designers needed the engine to fit in X and operate at Y temperature and not blow up (Z).

- The compiler takes your instructions and optimizes them for the processor instruction set.

- This program optimizes the engine design for the physics instruction set.

It seems like both represent huge productivity leaps from laboriously making things in the original low-level languages.

On the technical side, it gets worse. For example, it turns out things like their Spotify "integration" is actually interacting with the Spotify web site. It doesn't even use Spotify's APIs. So it breaks any time Spotify modifies their website.

TL;DR: Looks like a step toward the AlphaSmart of programming

If you don't remember the AlphaSmart[1], it was a line of typewriter-like devices with small LCD displays. They ran on batteries for hours and had limited save space. You could hook them up to a larger computer to save your drafts.

Where's the programming version of that? The recent HN post[2] about running a Mac 128k on a RPI2040[3] got me thinking about that. In theory, you could get real work done on a system like that, although it wouldn't be very good for entertainment.

So, where's the AlphaSmart of low-power computing?

1. "Real" keyboard

2. Low-power display, ideally a larger e-ink one

3. Not connected to the internet

To be clear, I don't mean a TI-83-like[4], TI-92[5], or even the recent NumWorks[6]. Those are meant to be calculators and have inconvenient calculator-like form-factors.

Fusion-relevant materials research could have absolutely advanced with funding back in the 70s. Lithium compatible structural material and 14MeV neutron source experiments immediately come to mind, not to mention tritium permeation and extraction. There was tonnes to learn, and they chose not to fund it.
Luckily about 50% of the Earth is lit up by the sun at any moment and energy storage capabilities are advancing much faster than fusion's capabilities are.

Distribution and storage are way more tractable problems than fusion.

If you want to be really ambitious you can go to space and have 100% capacity :).
There is open corruption of sitting supreme court justices and our collective response is to yawn. This is not, or should not be, a partisan issue. Corruption is bad, full stop.
If it's something like a blog archive.org works. And if it's a website people care about it's as simple as giving the archiver/internet historian/data hoarder hobbyist niche to back it all up on ipfs.

If they wrote things you can digitize them and turn them into an epub that might last a few hundred years. And you can absolutely donate a website, that's just a matter of picking the right license and hosting the actual data somewhere, not the actual website.
