This is where ideals meet ugly reality. Most people cherish convenience over everything else up until the externalities cannot be ignored.

Still a long way to go if that is to happen on the web.
In addition, I like the whole "Full Queues Amplify Variability" chart.

It's intuitively obvious, but I never realized it was that bad.

I'm going to have to run that down and see if it's actually backed by real data. Too many business books are complete flimflam.
That's kind of odd because I think 1990 already had mostly IDE drives which really shouldn't need that. The much older MFM and RLL drives might have had more tracking issues and "format", but then also had huge tracks so even that sounds absurd to me.

I do recall that people used to worry about whether mounting drives sideways was going to affect the life of the bearings on the main axle spinning at 5400 RPM or what have you.
I meant worsening from the perspective of becoming more and more over time, not necessarily making things "worse". a bad turn of phrase on my part.

If there is a constant cloud cover that only becomes thicker / more constant over time at very high altitude I wonder if there will be detrimental effects. That was my question. What does it mean if these clouds are constant?
It's the lying that would result in jail. That's what perjury is about.

It's not as if courts in the UK are filled with a bunch of Bitcoin enthusiasts who are mad at the guy for taking credit they don't think he deserves and are now telling him, "Fess up, or else."

If anything, he now has even more motivation to lie.
That would be a rough ride for your health. I remember back when Adam Richman was doing the original run of Man vs Food and he was looking like death towards the end.
Sounds like a effort to quiet fire a bunch more people to me.
I generally agree, in the long term there will be far less need for teachers, as there will be less need for human jobs to be taught.

However, creating many individual systems which are better than a human in a specific area each is very different from one unified and integrated system which combines all of them. The latter will take a lot longer to achieve. Until then there is value in teaching humans.
What creationists and evolutionists (as such) disagree about is not some broad question about the philosophy of knowledge, though doubtless most creationists and most evolutionists disagree about those too. What they disagree about is the specific question of how human life on earth came to be the way it is.

"Evolutionism" doesn't mean "believing that science is always right" or "believing that science is capable of answering questions about things other than repeatable experiments" or anything of the sort. Nor does it mean, as you put it elsewhere in this thread, "an axiomatic belief in the time invariance of physical laws". (Believing in those things might make someone more likely to be an evolutionist[1], but if that's enough reason for you to call them "evolutionism" then you'd better also be prepared to call being white "wealth" and being tall "playing basketball" and so forth.)

[1] But one doesn't have to believe those things in order to be an evolutionist, and I fear you're engaging in the widespread but unjustifiable practice of seeing that someone disagrees with you, thinking "what cognitive flaw might lead them to be wrong in that way?", picking an answer, and assuming it's right.

"Evolutionism" means "believing in evolution" or sometimes "believing that evolution is responsible for such-and-such particular things". (And sometimes some other related things, like "believing that evolution isn't just a consequence of physical laws but that Progress is somehow built into the fabric of the universe" or "applying the ideas of evolution to particular fields", but those aren't the meaning we're discussing here.)

(This isn't some idiosyncratic usage of the word "evolutionism"; every dictionary I've looked in agrees that this is how it's used.)
Thanks for the compliment! Right now, I'm focused on launching Taim for macOS and then Windows. Linux support is something I’m considering for the future, but it’s not a definite plan yet. I’ll keep you updated as things progress. Appreciate your interest!
A LOT of businesses break labor laws on a regular basis, especially smaller businesses without a legal department telling managers "You can't do that".

You'd be alarmed to know how many restaurant owners tell the staff to clock out when the store closes and then finish closing duties off the clock, among other types of wage theft.
There was a brief time when the best setup was a keyboard drawer that was sturdy enough to have the PC on top of it and the 14" monitor on top of the PC. So, when you were done typing you pushed the drawer closed and reclaimed the desk surface in front of the PC.
this place is filled with people who are motivated to learn for themselves which creates a huge sampling bias.

You will see this come up in all sorts of discussion and i find it enlightening as to how exactly the decisions behind modern software are made.

Too many here fail to realise that real life has all sorts of edge cases and exceptions, including bad teachers.

Claiming that most teachers aren't experts is just another example of this. One student learns more about one narrow topic and then dismisses the teacher's broader, but shallower knowledge as being that of a non-expert.

Typical of the general population, myself included.
Musk, frustrated with California laws, says SpaceX, X will move HQs to Texas
Uh, I think people have a good idea why it doesn't work as well in other languages.
No, the browser tracks what ads you see/click on, then monitors what you do online for signs the ad was successful, and if it thinks it found one it sends all that data to a third party who compiles a report to deliver to the ad company.

That might be okay to you, but a browser that snoops on my browsing history and reports it to third parties who will then use it to send reports to advertisers is totally unacceptable to me.
Thanks for pointing that out! You’re right I should make the supported platforms more explicit. Currently working on macOS side of Taim, but I'm planning to add Windows support next. I’ll make sure to highlight this information more clearly on the site. Appreciate your feedback and thanks for helping us improve!
"Plans are useless, but planning is indispensable."
If this were a data entry tool, I'd agree on the TUI part. It's a data processing tool and a bottleneck. There have been several replacement efforts, all canceled (your tax payer dollars at work, these were government contracts long before my time on the system). It should be 1-3 networked services (common data store, different tasks making 3 services a logical outcome rather than 1 service doing too many things but it's small regardless so either way is reasonable).

The customers in this case feared change too much to accept anything that wasn't exactly what it was replacing. Which meant that there was no point in doing the work.
Sir! The workers are revolting!
I thought it was for tax reasons, but I guess not.

>> “This is the final straw. Because of this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its HQ from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas,” Musk wrote. Hawthorne is a suburb in the Los Angeles metro area.
The issue here seems to be specifically that it's a Lisp with dynamic scoping, which allows the statement I quoted in another comment to hold:

> "[calling a procedure] acts to insert all lines of the named procedure into the executing program at the point where the call occurred"

But that notoriously has its own issues - the various variants of the funarg problem, which were essentially solved by switching to lexical scope.
No. But being far-right might make you >90% likely to be for nuclear energy.

I might have thought that too, however the article specifically called out rockets as a cause. So, if rockets are contributing a significantly more particulates such that it causes a phenomenon of more cloud cover at lower latitudes, is that a cause for concern? I don't know either way -- I was asking what we might think it meant.
It looks quite limited in what kind of diagrams it produces. What about a class diagram, a state machine, timing behavior, etc?
Well it was jokey sarcasm so don't worry about it. :) What I mean is trying to get a Shakespeare play by reading it, is like trying to get a film by reading the script!

Sure, if you're an experienced actor or director that'll work but for regular folks just watch it performed!

Seriously, you wouldn't take a film recommendation and start by reading the script would you? You might read it later if you really liked it but you watch it first. Get the details later.
I did a quick search and there are numerous studies that come up. I haven’t analyzed them myself, but it seems like there is a lot of evidence for this (example https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8956107/). I also found various things written about covid living in the mouth and playing a role in transmission.
That is awesome.
I always thought this phenomenon was even more accentuated by the fact that, at least in my country, we don't go to the museum very often, so we try to compensate by overstaying to make it worth our while, which turns the experience to a horror show, so we go even less often, yeah.

Also, some museums are particularly designed to be non entertaining or repelling to the human brain I think - when you see variations of the same item over and over (antiquities for instance).
>I disagree. If we're talking about restaurants and not fast food, it's portion size that's typically the issue in the US.

i think you are right.

i have always seen big portion sizes in restaurants when i have gone to the US.

also, very recently, i saw a youtube video in which a french person says the same thing. they said that even though the French eat a lot of fat, their overall portion sizes are smaller than those of the US. so overall, they end up eating less calories than US people.

also the French tend to walk a lot, while the US people tend to drive a lot.

it's a generalization, i know.
Story points aren't useful outside the team. They're for the team to help it figure out roughly how much stuff it can do each sprint. They shouldn't leak out of the team.
So far the core idea is a sort of constitutional foundation to try and ensure it doesn't get absorbed into that think. Mind you, that was Mozilla 20 years ago.

Short term, deshittify Firefox. Mid term move to some like Lady bird. Long term, if Lady bird is corrupted, start on browser replacement number 2.

Alternatively, the hardest step of just walking away for heavy internet usage I guess.

Anna here. In some sense copyright is appearing to be beside the point, but for the exact same reason copyright holders are becoming more defensive, and trying to expand the scope of copyright. That's one of the reasons why this is such a critical window for preservation!
The tools are absolutely not there, and even if they were available you can't expect ordinary citizens to know they exist or how to use them. This is a legal and civil liberties problem more so than a technological one.
Wish they allowed emoji on HN so I could send you an eyeroll emoji.
>teaching ... can't be replaced by AI.

Teaching is not the end goal of education though, the educated student is. Or so I was taught.

Part of the reason why teaching is considered noble is because it is an act of assured replacement, inspiring not dependency imparting skills of self-motivation and will power.
It doesn't particularly matter because, like WAF, Guard Duty is for customers who need to tick a particular box with absolutely minimum effort and hassle.

It just needs to plausibly allow you to state to your auditor that "all hosts have anti-malware protection". Auditors almost always look at this closely. It's like TLS settings (who ever got hacked coz they were on TLS 1.1 and not 1.2???) - one of the brown M&Ms clauses of audits.

The alternatives are generally worse for reasons such as a) they interfere with your kernel b) have a console you have to deploy somewhere and requires babysitting c) they introduce their own attack surface on hosts d) they are not particularly effective in any case, etc etc (I have a long litany of complaints about this class of security product which probably doesn't need to be repeated here).

The control plane monitoring is "just OK" (as usual for an AWS add-on service), you can't customise it, you can't define your own rules, you just plumb it to monitoring and that's it.

Which is optimal if you barely care but have to do something. There is generally no hard requirement for effective control plane monitoring because it's too nuanced for auditors to verify.
obviously because they can't beat it... There will be zero reason to use it when you have better transformer based models that can fit the existing infrastructure.
A sprint is a unit of time, how does measuring a "complexity"- whatever that is- helps in figuring out how much stuff you can put in *time*?
They aren’t so hot, but recent efforts at transfer learning were promising.

It only does that for websites that are funded by advertising. If you avoid those (e.g. HN) you should be fine?
Gyazo offers actual security features though.

I don't think this was a real myth. This was an X-Files episode in which a clay pot that has been molded while Jesus was ordering Lazarus to rise from the dead could be used to bring other people back from the dead by playing back the recording. If I'm remembering correctly, even in X-Files this was actually a hoax.

Could you create a GitHub issue? There's a lot of work we'd like to do to improve this.
Right. It was really common for sites in the 1970s to compile their own OS so they could set the configuration. This was how you told it which devices where attached on which ports.

I understand why developers want feedback. I have paying customers for my software library and I can't get useful feedback from then about what features they use.

OTOH, why can't get get UI feedback from logging institutional users for different domains, where they can get real legal and ethical consent from the institution side?

I mean, yes, it's easier to force it on everyone and have them swallow the pill for lack of alternatives than it is to deal with organizations. But then the issue isn't one of lack of data, it's that they don't want to deal with organizations as equals, since that takes more work.
"OpenAI made staff sign employee agreements that required them to waive their federal rights to whistleblower compensation, the letter said. These agreements also required OpenAI staff to get prior consent from the company if they wished to disclose information to federal authorities. OpenAI did not create exemptions in its employee nondisparagement clauses for disclosing securities violations to the SEC."

Who drafted this employee agreement. Not a single OpenAI employees thought to have it reviewed by a lawyer before signing? Or perhaps someone did but was too frightened to tell OpenAI, "Your employee agreement needs to be fixed."

This company continues to com across as naive and amateur. Perhaps because it was never intended to become a commercial entity.

The other day I saw a Tesla with the license plate "OPENAI". No doubt there were also license plates that said "FTX".

> How does automatic tracking work in Taim?

The "Application flow" screenshot shows Mr. Demoman working on XYZCorporationsite.com - 2h 15min / Header.tsx for 1h 32min as well as a block of time in Slack, I wonder if this is really how Mr. Demoman works - totally focused inside VSCode and Chrome.

For my own workflow I know there'd be a lot of window switching between IDE, database tool, maybe StackOverflow/other reference sites, and the web UI. It'd be interesting to have "AI" (or what traditionalists might call "machine learning") recognize those to be belonging to the same project... And to also see that if the browser is on Hacker News, those aren't billable minutes. ;) -- unless the IDE is compiling[1]?

Does anybody use these to bill clients? My problem with these dealios is they can usually tell you what applications you have open but not why you had them open.

The auto tracker will tell me I spend a lot of time in notepad++ and mobaxterm but wont relate it to the case that prompted me to do that, so starting a free running timer is the only way to get a billable number.
Well, I mean, it wasn't my idea. I can't take the credit or blame. It was the required reading for my literature class.

But... I still don't think my comprehension would have been great if I had been watching a performance instead. It would establish an upper bound on time investment, which would have been a plus I guess.
Y'know, that thing about how IBM terminals are really form display machines instead of character streamers actually put something in context for me. Over a decade ago I interviewed at multiple companies whose business included adapting text-based interfaces for the Web. One was MUMPS[0], the other AS/400[1]. My thought was that they were writing shittons of text parsing code for each screen, but had I been hired and trained for the role I would have learned that HTML forms are poorly reimplemented IBM terminals and time is a flat circle.

[0] "AS/400, but it's a hacked-together line of business program turned hospital OS written when Microsoft Access was still in di-a-pers."

No, I don't know if MUMPS actually presents forms in terminal buffered I/O or not.

I'm very interested to see how his MAGA heel turn affects his companies. He is undoubtably a very high performer and makes very high performing companies that good people want to work for, and they make extremely good products.

> - You ALWAYS have to have key punch and card reader devices defined (even on Linux).

Linux doesn’t actually support physical card readers/punches, only paravirtualized readers/punches under z/VM (implemented using DIAG hypervisor call interface). [0] And that’s because paravirtualized card devices are heavily used under z/VM for IPC (inter-VM communication), although there are alternatives (IUCV, TCP/IP). So if you aren’t running under z/VM, Linux can’t use readers/punches, because the hypervisor interface isn’t there. And even under z/VM, Linux will work fine without them, because they are mainly used for sending data between Linux and other mainframe operating systems such as CMS and RSCS, and maybe you aren’t interested in that. And if somehow you managed to connect a real card reader or punch to your mainframe (you’d need to chain together a bus/tag to ESCON bridge with an ESCON to FICON bridge), bare metal Linux would have no idea how to talk to it, because it doesn’t support real card devices, only paravirtualized ones. Linux under z/VM might be able to do so, by relying on the hypervisor’s card device driver.

[0] Have a look at https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v6.10/drivers/s390/ch... – if it encounters a real card reader/punch, it is hardcoded to return -EOPNOTSUPP. Actually it looks like it does use CCWs to write to punches, but it relies on DIAG for reading from card readers and device discovery. And due to that code, even if it is generating the correct CCWs to write to a physical punch (I don't know), it would refuse to do so.

Impact of cold-calling on student voluntary participation [pdf]
It feels hard to ask this without sounding snarky, but how do you separate growth from making good decision and having a good product from growth (in this case) because AI is hot and HF offers a lot of utility for free?
This is a problem I’m working on.

I’m a software engineer at major US research university developing AI-powered software to improve critical reading and writing skills in higher ed. The idea is to provide immediate, high-quality feedback to students, closing the “latency” of submitting something and waiting to hear back from you professor.

I do genuinely think AI can reshape teaching and learning, but it will be a slow iterative process. We can use it scale what works (personalized learning and tutoring, helping students develop mastery/automaticity on topics, targeting areas where they struggle). It can also automate time-consuming tasks that bog teachers down.

If you're interested in pedagogy, AI, and tech, please reach out.
