There is no such thing as "communally-minded" under private ownership. What we have is "rugged individualism" and free competition, ie "might makes right." I don't like it, but I can't escape it.

It's ironic that you mention "tragedy of the commons." Literally, what we don't have is a commons. What we have is enclosure. So it's truly not a "tragedy of the commons" but a tragedy of private ownership or, specifically, a tragedy of the commons' absence.

Again, there is no use in being "communally-minded" within the confines of an entity that has no community spirit, eg a ruthless, cynical, bottom-lining private corporation. In this context, "communally-minded" action cannot and will not be rewarded. It will only be exploited.
There's no downside to ABS. There's plenty of downside to a system that blanket bans speeding, even when the operator knows better than the system and is taking a calculated risk.
I read this thread early this morning and have been trying Rye for the first time over the last several hours. I like it and a few things have helped: 1) add a Makefile targets for auto-creating a requirements.txt file to make my two new projects play well with pip, etc. for people not wanting to use Rye. 2) ChatGPT saved me time setting up VSCode and Emacs for Rye+Python dev.

So far, I love Rye! So fast and no roadblocks yet.
Generative AI Platforms in Procurement
This mostly looks like established software platforms adding on some AI LLM functionality. I don't think we've seen any truly groundbreaking applications of AI in the procurement space yet, at the moment it's a bit of time saving. Obviously a very big market here for software that manages the whole procurement lifecycle with minimal human oversight.
Close colleagues of mine run a video game development company (I worked for a time in that industry). They were doing contract development for one of the huge publishers and were prohibited from doing WFH. During the pandemic, they toughed it out at the office.
That’s a straw man because it shifts the blame onto the objects, and victims, of the theft rather than the thief.

It doesn’t matter what it is, crime is typically opportunistic.

Next week, it will be smashing houses to steal jewelry. A month from now, it will be catalytic converters. A year, robbing laptops and getting decryption keys at gunpoint.

Who needs to be punished here? The thief. Who needs to change? The thief. Who needs to be taken out of society if they voluntarily choose to not change? The thief.
Yet they are the same org who develop and release the client software, which obviously has access to plain text values.
There are a lot of people who steal stuff who aren't addicted.

It's a quick and easy way to make money, so of course drug addicts will be drawn to it, but people who don't care about the moral issues with stealing, or find it easier than the alternative will do it too.
Discussed recently, but maybe didn't get enough attention?

> it doesn't optimize the hard part

This is universally true of Generative AI's impact on all art and craft.

It's a Dunning-Kruger thing. It makes the stuff that a novice thinks is hard apparently easier, but does not ever tackle the difficult stuff. So that novice is actively disadvantaged compared to how they would be if they worked with an actual artist to make what they wanted.
I try to listen for the feeling behind/under the words being spoken. Ask yourself why they're saying the thing they're saying, and try to respond to that.
It's important to note that the Pulitzer winning journalist isn't being accused of defamation here.

She's facing jail time because the defamation case resulted in a court order to see information about her confidential sources (presumably via the discovery process). Reputable journalists don't hand over details about their confidential sources.
Is it not Google only?
Cheap access to GLP-1 agonists might help with addiction. I have facilitated someone getting access for alcoholism, and it’s like night and day, with them being fully functional.

Appears to be an incredibly powerful force multiplier, just need to scale up (can be manufactured for less than $5/month/person). My apologies for going off topic, confirming your point to solve addiction to solve these second order effects of mental health challenges and poverty. Secure (basic needs), functional humans with basic needs met don't strip infra and homes for copper.

> Tech will not cure dependency issues, it's biochemists, biologists, and psychologists that are at the forefront of that, and there isn't a universal cure for addiction. Tech also won't solve poverty, which is a political issue.

Preach.

Yes, Edge has it enabled. If you open Google Meet troubleshooting in Edge you can see your system CPU. If you try it in Firefox it says "Try Google Chrome to see your CPU usage".
I think it's more important for the cities to be tolerant and inclusive of theft culture. Theft is just part and parcel of living in a large city and diversity makes us stronger.
Drugs are mostly a side-effect of other psychological issues, and it's in a control theory sense a positive feedback loop. You can't eliminate drugs, but you can work on the underlying problems.
I wonder what the costs to prosecute a criminal are? I'm pretty cynical, so if I heard about $85K, I wouldn't be all that surprised.
Exactly! Everyone clearly understands that "free" means free of charge.

If you went to a lemonade stand that said "Free Lemonade" and they had a guy standing next to it who drew a picture of you picking up a lemonade, that wouldn't make the lemonade not free. If you decided that lemonade was not free because someone drew a picture of you, then sure, but you can walk that all the way to having no things that are free.
The entire network is usually oversubscribed so there can be congestion. It is usually not over-provisioned because that would be too expensive.
> The "OS" isn't special here, apps can listen to system audio.

Even if this is true, it's easy to imagine such functionality being exploited by malicious apps as a security and/or privacy concern, particularly if the user needs a screen reader.

It definitely makes sense for the operating system to provide this functionality.
My reasons:

- it's painful

- it's expensive

- it's a drag

- culture war stuff (who wants to deal with school issues, medical issues, community issues, etc.?)

Is it dark when you are on your factory floor? And what is it that you need to read across the factory floor?
That very much depends on your city, in some places cops take up more than 20% of city budgets, in some places more than 40% of the city budget is taken up by policing.
Lots of women resent modern feminism to some degree for this very reason. (I am a woman, and have many close female friends who discuss this).

Each and every one of us has never had an option not to have a Big Career. At a minimum, we've always had to fend for ourselves financially, and even in solid long term relationships/marriages with successful men, our income is both needed and expected.

Meanwhile, the caregiving / household maintenance expectations placed on your average Western woman haven't changed, she just has to do them on top of her day job now.

There's a lot of lecturing from "trad" guys online who think everyone should have stay at home wives and lots of kids, but even women who want this type of partnership often can't find men who are willing and able to actually financially support such an arrangement. Every woman I know has spent her whole 20s and 30s seeking wholesome, long term relationships with men who want marriage and kids, at least in an equal and respectful two income home, but they are pretty hard to find. If we can't find a guy in time or we get unlucky (bad breakup/divorce), we're blamed for being "too career oriented" to procreate. No one asks why so few men are serious about marrying us, though. I don't know any women who actually chose their career over having kids, but I do know plenty who figured, 'well, if I have to fend for myself while I look for a guy, I may as well do my best to take care of myself financially.'

I know it's hard for men too. But I don't think men realize the heavy implications that the latest waves of feminism have had in terms of what's expected of the modern young woman. And something has broken between the sexes that seems to make it harder than ever to form stable, loving families.
In general, most managers just hire external firms to attempt a new version:

1. if it succeeds, the manager looks smart given your services are no longer relevant to their operations

2. if it fails, the manager looks smart as they are not responsible for the external firms business operations

It is a win-win situation for the client, but 100% bad for your business... =3
Simonw[0] and 10 minutes later ChrisArchitect[1] mentioned another HN thread which it looks like dang __just__ merged. But that other post has a different link that is probably the intended one[2].

Though it is quite interesting to see how many comments are responding to (presumably) the title (and thus their interpretation of the title) and also didn't read each other's comments. Because when I hit reply, there were at least a dozen and I began writing this before dang merged.

How do you know this, does Wise provide auth response data? (Merchants are not required to respect the CVV check, so it's possible for txns to go through with a non-matching CVV response code.)

I'm also curious about the lack of notifications. That would seem to indicate a level of account control beyond the cardholder data. Unless they were failed due to NSF before the notification step.

Towards Unified Analysis of GPU Consistency [pdf]
We've massively improved in cancer treatment in just the past 20 years alone. Every year we get more and more precise with our ability to both map and target tumors, which in turn means less damage to the body as a whole during treatment and better odds of tumor elimination. This goes for both chemo and radiation.
What makes you associate free transit with "trying to kill transit"?
A small city in southern il.

Surrounded by prisons.The new home of choice for recently released prisoners.

It's where all cities within 100 miles send their problem homeless.

Primary industries: retirement communities, abortion services, care for the mentally disabled and a small university.

Worst restaurants.

Many trailer parks.

Half the population collects welfare.

High taxes

Unreasonably large police station and train station. Seriously. Huge.

It's like they're setting something up.

Any other cities like this?
It costs way more to jail people. Prison isn’t free.
You’re too kind! Thank you for saying so, it means a lot.
Your assumption is that visual programming and textual programming are disjoint, but I have not observed this to be true (necessarily). Being able to edit a program in a semantic fashion does not preclude its having syntax. I don't see syntax as a boondoggle to be eliminated, but rather the highest-bandwidth way we know how to convey information!

I think you're right that the end game of any successful attempt at standardization is integration with all those tools like Outlook, Slack, Discord, Signal, Word, Docs, Notion... The list goes on and on. It's strange how the presence or absence of political momentum behind a standard could change that from being "basically impossible" to "basically inevitable"
Most of the worst software is produced by organisations with plenty of resources, who place themselves as gatekeepers to coerce me into using their awful software. (I have no idea what they get out of this, in most cases.) This means I have to, eventually, choose between "having a job" and "not buying a new computer". Either choice leaves me with less money to give to those who write software I appreciate.
Scrapyards are what we’re talking about here, don’t expand into other arguments needlessly. We’re not talking about jewelry or electronics at the moment.

Do you think it’s acceptable to take 300 feet of commercial copper wiring from a random dude and pay him for it without question? Punish the thieves, but also roll them over to testify against the obvious criminality happening in the scrapyards. You’re laying all the blame on the small thieves, but this kind of massive theft requires a supporting demand. Targeting one side is this equation doesn’t work.
Abstract:

"After more than 30 years of research, there is a solid understanding of the consistency guarantees given by CPU systems. Unfortunately, the same is not yet true for GPUs. The growing popularity of general purpose GPU programming has been a call for action which industry players like Nvidia and Khronos have answered by formalizing their Ptx and Vulkan consistency models. These models give precise answers to questions about program’s correctness. However, interpreting them still requires a level of expertise that escapes most developers, and the current tool support is insufficient.

To remedy this, we translated and integrated the Ptx and Vulkan models into the Dartagnan verification tool. This makes Dartagnan the first analysis tool for multiple GPU consistency models that can analyze real GPU code. During the validation of the translated models, we discovered two bugs in the original Ptx and Vulkan consistency models."

You never have to prosecute the crimes you deter. And if you don’t deter at all the crimes will just keep increasing. A city where only gated communities have electricity is not good for the poor.

If it's easy for users to just install the extension, then obviously there's no point in Google doing this in the first place. The fact that they bothered sounds like a pretty compelling argument for it being worth caring about.
These people are buying valuable resources for pennies on the dollar in cash. They are hugely incentivized to not ask too many questions.
I seem to remember analog telephone lines used a very simple but magic-looking transformer-based circuit of some sort for this purpose. Presumably that worked because they didn’t need to worry about a processing delay?

Cool! I also built a WASM console a while ago using Zig, Clang, and slightly modifying various BSD utilities. There is a browser demo at https://cowasm.sh/ , but you could also run it in a terminal and access your local files (similar to what your WASM-console does). Anyways, thanks for sharing your console.
This sounds a good idea in theory, but not sure about in real world.

Consider having 4 versions of API, will you create 3 levels of proxies or each time re-write your old proxy?

Sometimes, more capable mean additional side effects not existing in old contract (e.g. send an email about order), in that case your new API should be flexible to accommodate configuration of side effects, adding more maintenance cost to your eng. org
The technique introduces latency and distortion because it's subtracting an estimate of sound that's traveling/reflecting in the listening environment, which is imperfect and involves the speed of sound.

That latency is within the tolerance that users are comfortable with for voice chat, and much less than video processing/transfer is introducing for video calls anyway, so it's a very obvious win there. Especially since those users are most interested in just picking out clear words using whatever random mic/speaker configuration happens to be most convenient.

But musicians, for instance, are much more interested in minimizing the delay between their voice or instrument being captured and returned through a monitor, and they generally choose a hardware arrangement that avoids the problem in the first place. And that's not really a niche use case.
I think the difference is between "only new models" and "all new vehicles". So previously you could buy a new car, just model from a year or two ago without this tech. Now these cars can't be sold any more.
> I'm still no sure why I should care.

Because the Web is supposed to be based on open standards and browsers are supposed to be neutral platforms that implement the standards.

If you don't care about that, fair: nobody really cares that you don't care. What everybody cares about is what happens if some of the various antitrust agencies of the world start caring.

This has certainly made conference calls significantly more usable. I feel like it must have come around during 2020, because I feel like pre-covid I would go around BEGGING everyone I did calls with to get a headset, because otherwise everyone else's voice would echo back through their microphone 0.75s later. Today I recently realized I could just literally do calls out loud on my laptop mic and speaker and somehow it works. Nice to know why!

I don't know, sure internet plays its part, but our television since the fall of the Soviet Union has been busy spreading all kinds of pseudo-scientific and conspiracy theories. Reptiloids, Nibiru, psychics, the moon hoax too.

It's not like they are mad or something, just some commercial channels and tv show studios are pushing this kind of content that is surprisingly popular. If anything, what sets apart the older generation from the younger ones is their habit of trusting TV, Soviet censure didn't allow things like that on tv and in printing.

Personally I've met only one guy who believed that Americans haven't landed on the moon. He was young and had higher education.
I think I get the jist of your post and why IIA might seem objectionable, but your example does not reflect IIA and the claim that any voting system that satisfies IIA must rank Alice and Bob equally is not true.

The score voting system satisfies IIA and can result in a situation where 50% of votes assign their highest score to Alice and lowest score to Bob, and 50% of voters assign their highest score to Bob and their second highest score to Alice. Alice would end up winning the election and there is no opportunity for the introduction of a new candidate who could act as a spoiler for Alice.

Arrow's impossibility theorem does not apply to score voting since the theorem only applies to voting systems where you rank your choices, it does not apply to systems where you rate your choices.

The dry sarcastic humor of the author made it very obvious to me that this was satire. I have a very similar sense of humor, at least partly. And I'm a native American English speaker.

>I logged in to my JetStreamers Diamond Altitude account and started clicking.

Satire! It's not called that, but it's a similar marketing wankery version.

>This clickable rascal would allow me to access the entire internet through my airmiles account. This would be slow. It would be unbelievably stupid. But it would work.

"It would be unbelievably stupid but I'm going to do it anyway!"

>Several co-workers were asking me to review their PRs because my feedback was “two weeks late” and “blocking a critical deployment.” But my ideas are important too so I put on my headphones and smashed on some focus tunes.

Even this was a sarcastic/satirical leadup.

>I’d forgotten to charge my headphones so Limp Bizkit started playing out of my laptop speakers. Fortunately no one else on the plane seemed to mind so we all rocked out together.

Limp Bizkit is a very famous (or infamous) band that gets notoroiusly mocked. The odds of even a single person rocking out with that playing out of laptop speakers is tiny. Two people? Everyone on the plane? 0.0% chance.

I don't know why I put so much effort into explaining this.

But why sue the journalists and not the CEO only? She made the remarks. Why are other journalists who didn't make the remarks afraid of going to jail: "If one of us goes to jail, we will be the first person to go to jail in the Mississippi welfare scandal"?

I guess the key here is the he wants to show that it was done with malice. It seems, unlike in other countries/jurisdictions, a defamation lawsuit requires proving malice. So one way to prove it would be to show that whatever sources the journalists had definitely did not indicate the governor was embezzling, but the CEO claimed he did. Therefore, she did it with malice? It's quite complicated to follow.

So what gives, does the governor feel pretty confident he is innocent and sources won't show anything? What if he sources reveal he did embezzle? Or, does he know the source materials already, and what's in them, if someone leaked them to him or his lawyers, and now he wants to open them up in a legal way to be used as evidence. Can't say, "we found outside the court house, they feel of the truck".
Not even joking - it was damn close to free back then!

The amount of inflation has been variable - it's been between 6% and 10% per year, though it's been closer to 10% for most of that term. That's why back in the day you could work a part-time job and pay for your tuition and off-campus room and board.

This is how state public universities used to be.
