As much as I hate adding more build tools to the Java ecosystem this one is pretty interesting since it is entirely Java based and version controllable without any additional dependencies to install. Obviously this won't solve all build problems but its simplicity is attractive.

It would be way less code to replace an actuary with a machine than a cart pusher.
Sports and folk knowledge have long been companions. I just saw an article about some teams running 25mm tires on the new gravel stage at the Tour de France because "25mm is fast." It doesn't help that elite athletes can be very opinionated about what is best for their performance, and they are so talented, fit, and well-trained they can perform well on deficient equipment.
This looks cool, but I would have said it's more like an OSS frontend to some closed-source proprietary cloud stuff, which adds up to a voice assistant.

It's not that difficult; just place the "." at the end of the line:

foo.
bar()

And that will work fine. At least in Go.

You can endlessly argue what location is better for the ".", but it really doesn't really matter. Regardless, you don't really need to do parser tricks.
This sort of ticketing thing is a trivially solvable problem. It is solved at every airport in the entire world millions of times per day. You provide the name of each concertgoer when you buy a ticket, and they show up with their ticket and ID. You often need to show your ID at these kinds of venues to prove you're old enough to drink beer anyway.

Can you explain your line of thinking for saying this?

Because to me, the standard for such a big company, getting so many public dollars, that is responsible for the safety of a ton of Americans (and more) should obviously be more strict (for at least those reasons) compared to an individual who can't afford a good lawyer who had just a little too much weed on them.

Confusing notation in the second image example.

If both vectors are viewed as column vectors, dot product is defined as aᵀb. a is transposed and aᵀb is matrix product of vectors. Since you can think vectors as column or row vectors, but usually as column vectors it's better to stick to what is common to avoid confusion.

This is a noble goal but unrealistic and unfair at scale. Also it belays just a wildly unrealistic understanding of how risk distribution works in corporations. It’s as if in your mind one engineer makes the singular call and sees the entire picture of the project and its risks. Where as more likely a downstream worker who very likely had an incomplete picture will be blamed.

Also the personal insult is not needed. It just makes you out to be an ass rather than someone making a point.

Consider your romantic notions might not be realistic.
idk. i worked cleaning a lobby and found that my job could be replaced by customers being cleaner. you know, how 98% of humans are at their own home. Peanut shells on floor are not necessary(might even be more effort to hit the floor than your plate). They are going to walk past the garbage can on their way out, they could have carried the trash.

servers today are easily replaced by either tech (ordering system on table, or a bar style ordering system where you get up and order from 2 wait staff). And if we trusted humans(far fetched), a self serve system: pour you own beer, and add it to your tab.

If my task was something the customer could have easily done themselves (and often do for themselves the other 99$ of their life: cart return, bag groceries) I felt useless.

Like I'm walking behind a person littering and picking their trash up. They could just not litter, you know?
Well, I guess the question I have is, what exactly does he mean by the "cost to train"? As in, just the cost of the electricity used to train that one model? That seems really excessive.

Or is it the total overall cost of buying TPUs / GPUs, developing infrastructure, constructing data centers, putting together quality data sets, doing R&D, paying salaries, etc. as well as training the model itself? I could see that overall investment into AI scaling into the tens of billions over the next few years.
DDoS them with fake victims. Actually a really good use for AI. of course, they only need one success out of thousands of failures to make it worthwhile, but hopefully an infinite number of fake potential victims will be enough to at least slow them down.
Sure, but realistically no one is going to get a fake ID with a certain name on it so they can go to a concert with that person's tickets.
They mentioned avoiding google wallet, so we can assume android, and that apple wallet wasn't considered for not being an option for them.
This is the entire premise of the Golgafrinchan Ark Fleet Ship B, which Douglas Adams wrote about 25 years earlier. But every conservative parent has made jokes about getting a degree "underwater basket weaving" for as long as I can remember.

I think real bullshit jobs are, for example, how third-generation children of billionaires get CEO roles on fictional companies / non-profits only to receive insane compensation, while the board does all the work. Just look at any modern dynastic family in the US, ignoring even the famous names.

I don't get what you are trying to say though. If companies can use 'a mile long paper trail', why can't the engineer do the same?. If it turns out they were forced to do X over their own objections (people do have mortgages and need medical coverage), then that manager gets the blame. Seems fair??

Isn't this vulnerable to ticket 'selling' by simply sharing the username and password of the ticketmaster account?

it's not like a ticketmaster account is 'worth' anything, so the seller can simply set up a new one for their next purchase.
Odd Lots just had an episode [0] where they briefly discussed this book as well and the interviewee had some reasonably interesting opinions about why the premise of this book is flawed but was in other respects pretty complimentary of Graeber.

The episode has other very interesting concepts like "accountability sinks".

The library is 6 years old, and I remember we all laughed when it came out. Why is it on the 1st page now?
Yup.

I have to believe the reason the likes of ticket master isn't fixing this is because they are selling/auctioning/reserving some percentage of tickets to scalpers or "3rd party sellers".

Requiring ID is such an obvious solution that I have to believe these convoluted approaches are only there so the secondary market can exist and so ticket master can wash their hands when prices get out of control on that market.

High signal job interviewing: Bayesian style
Nice project! I recently did something similar by porting the EndBASIC console to show up in a tiny LCD. Making it work at all was fun, but then optimizing the driver to be fast enough was a really cool exercise. I've submitted the story here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40906201

And while working on this, I also found out that NetBSD has a native LCD driver for its wscons framework, so presumably you can trivially get the full system's console on the LCD as well: https://man.netbsd.org/ssdfb.4
I'd be more surprised if they didn't! I'd argue that's just how culture works. The counter-examples are probably a lot more interesting.
It's genuinely one of my favorite books I've read. He has a very plain, straight-forward and matter-of-fact writing style. It reads like an informal, incredibly long but well researched and interesting blog post.

His book Debt: The First 5,000 Years is a little denser and more academic but also excellent. He might be one of my favorite authors of all time, which makes it all the sadder that I missed a chance to meet him before he died.

I just had a thought that "intelligence" could be a misnomer or red herring in all this. A lot of modern AI seems to be built around "getting the right answer," performing measurably better on some task. But that's not really what makes humans interesting, and I don't think that's what most people dream of with AI. I would say that it's actually emotion that makes us interesting. I wonder how things would be different if it had been called Artificial Emotion. Emotion is more about experience than correctness. We need something that has some kind of "lived" experience that we can relate to. Feeding a billion words into a system of weights is just not it.
Yeah I don't know what I thought your comment said but my reply doesn't make sense! I agree though basically, I've just had some change in price to such an extent that I'd have rathered get it myself, or buy an alternative instead.

Hell, you just scan your ID at TSA nowadays. They don't need your ticket.
Even if the fetch doesn’t have first-party cookies/authentication, there’s still there’s things to keep in mind depending on the trust level of the code. For example, is it okay for the untrusted code to access network services on the user’s localhost (like Zoom) or home network (like HomeAssistant, Philips Hue, WiFi router firmware)? These should be blocked by CORS and are sometimes blocked by the browser but it’s something to keep in mind. Phishing or exfiltration of data? Degrading experience or consuming the user’s bandwidth allowance by making too many requests? These concerns may or may not be relevant depending on use-case and the level of lockdown on the iframe. A good strategy is to allow-list the resources the iframe can fetch using content-security-policy, which is well supported in browsers and there’s a browser-level facility for receiving violation logs (although maybe that was phased out?).

I shared some links to the iframe security options here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40896873#40904732
Heresy, I know :) But I genuinely think it can be beneficial for everyone.
I don't know what you're talking about re: hormones, but in general I think the best idea is to do both things, though I don't think the risk to humanity comes from damaging Earth, so much as damaging each other. Over the past 2 years I think we came far closer to nuclear apocalypse than most people realize. Certainly far closer than anytime besides the Cold War. And over the 2-3 years before that a global disease spread and seems to have infected basically 100% of humanity. And this disease was most likely created by humanity, and released by accident. We're only fortunate that it was relatively harmless compared to what it could have been.

Now that's happened all over just the past 4 years. What do you think of our chances 20, 50, 100, and more years in the future hold hold? It's pretty easy to see plenty of timelines where we do eventually manage to kill ourselves, and so expanding beyond Earth is critical. Of course that doesn't mean we should neglect Earth in any way, shape or fashion. But with 8 billion people on this planet, we can manage to do more than one thing at a time to quite a high degree of competence.
This is the kind of bright and focused clarifying question that will help OP get their answer, well done.

>No? Methane produces less than half the CO2 per kwh than coal.

The important metric is CO2e, not CO2. Critically, CO2e includes measurements of methane emissions.

The problem with methane is that the methane leaks are self-reported, by an industry who have every incentive to under-report and who have a history of massively underreporting. Methane isn't clearly better than coal, and might well be worse.
Thanks, I'll try to find a good USB or PCI Intel wifi modem. Good idea.
> Do you have a better figure?

Yes, clearly, and I mentioned it numerous times.

Once again, you're just making assumptions. So, all this time you've just assuming the max fines won't apply - that's the entire crux of your argument, right?

As where I've been talking about a situation where the max fines are being imposed.

I really don't think you're reading or keeping the context of the discussion in mind when replying. I have no other explanation for you assuming 2% and asking if I have a better figure in spite of me specifically citing the max fine number as a prerequisite for my scenario numerous times.
I agree. I've worked with peltiers myself and they are annoying little buggers and like to break all the time. If you have good enough insulation, I have no problem believing that this device meets claims even on a modest battery pack.

The valuation is still crazy high. They were pretty smart to go after the medical field though, where you can tack on an extra zero or two on the end and no one cares.
actually, aged ticketmaster accounts are worth something! people will buy them for a few dozen dollars, as they get priority in ticket queues.
Oh cool, so when I buy a scalped ticket I'll simply order a quality fake ID as well.
This depends on the time scale. For days or weeks? Pumped hydro is better. But for seasonal storage? The size of the reservoir becomes prohibitive.

No they are not! You are responsible for what you sign off on/seal. If you don't want that responsibility then join another profession.
Depending on which APIs you use, that could work. I tried it with Logseq because I really want to have my knowledge base on a VPS which I can access from anywhere via browser, and because of the APIs they use the browser will only allow it if the remote is localhost. You could maybe trick it with a hosts file hack or something, but that would break a lot of (other) stuff that expect localhost to resolve to 127.0.0.1.

They don't require Google Play Services.

They require the Google Play Store to distribute apps. Even Microsoft Intune has no options to simply deploy apps directly (by taking the installer permission) but instead has you provide store urls.

I imagine they had employees side loading the apk if they were using android.
I agree with the bad implement but the opening complaining that "old way of printable tickets was great why change it" have so many problems.

Scalpers are the problem that you have to accept. At the time of purchase, there's no way to tell the difference between a legit purchaser and a scalper or even someone who bought it and simply can't go and needs to resell.

IDs, ticket limiters, CCs, etc, etc. All methods can be circumvented by someone dedicated enough. You can only make it "not scalable" but the tickets still need to be transferable, securely.

Unless we're willing to go ID checking at the gate, there's not going to be a true solution.
Anything published you could point to?
It's not that macOS is conducive to third party launchers, it's that you need these other launchers to replicate the the basic functionality that is built into the Windows launcher.

There aren't as many third party launchers for Windows because it already does 99% of what you want it to do, and the remaining 1% are features, not competitors.
I didn't read it as a "personal insult".

It's true that most software engineers never work on safety-critical systems. The nature of the products they work on, or the nature of their contributions to those products, limits the possible impact of flaws and mistakes.

Once you work on a product with safety-critical features and/or become responsible for one, there really is a marked psychological change that takes place. I've lived through that change in my own career, and many comments (including some I've written, I'm sure) now strike me as callous and trivializing important matters to an extent that grates.

It's important to hold engineers accountable for their work in proportion to their impact, which is typically very significant. If you build machines that can kill, stakes should exist for you as well.

>Software developers are the wizards and shamans of the modern age. We ought to use our powers with the austerity and integrity such power implies. You’re using them to exclude people from entertainment events.

I can definitely think of worse things programmers are doing aside from making it mildly difficult to see Taylor Swift .

I have personal qualms with working in certain industries because of this, but Ticketmaster ultimately provides a luxury. You don't need to see a concert, and if you have such an issue with their business practices you can do something else with your Friday night .

I've actually never had an issue with Ticketmaster. At a point a certain other ticket provider just blocked me without any explanation, and I had to go down to the box office to buy tickets. That sucked, but compare to airlines who do weird things like print off tickets without the actual seat number, Ticketmaster doesn't bother me too much.
Awesome! I might be even older and boring though. 92 was my last cup year.
Note that China's coal usage was basically flat in 2023 and expected to decline in 2024.

> If the deal is accepted, it could complicate Boeing’s ability to sell products to the U.S. government as a felon, though the company could seek waivers. About 32% of Boeing’s nearly $78 billion in revenue last year came from its defense, space and security unit.

My understanding is that getting security clearance involves a bunch of checks and statements about your character, and having a federal felony conviction on one's record would be a hard blocker.

Absolutely, I think that the real punishment, beyond the $245M fine, ought to be losing its many many billions of DoD contracts. After all, once a firm has demonstrated this kind of behavior, how on earth should we trust it with not only taxpayer dollars but the lives of servicemen/women and critical military resources?
Well, not quite everyone. Content made with the idea of marketing (even if not overtly an ad) very strongly tends to be lower quality and less useful.

> The transactions continue the Bitcoin (BTC) sell-off trend set by the German government since June 19 despite parliamentary members like the German lawmaker and BTC activist Joana Cotar urging it to “refrain” from doing so.

> Cotar urged the government to stop its “hasty disposal of state-owned Bitcoin” and instead adopt a “strategic reserve currency” to shield itself against the risks of the traditional system.

If the government was selling off shares of XYZ Corp (say, as part of liquidating some tax cheater's assets to pay his taxes), then who would care? Would people who believe that XYZ Corp's stock was a can't-lose investment speak up?

Vs. if you figure that BTC is a massive pyramid scheme, with a hoard of skin-in-the-game True-ish Believers, then the motivation is obvious.
