> Several funeral homes that had good reviews online. The folks on the other end of the line seemed nice. They said the right things, which makes sense because they’ve got a sales funnel. And then they asked for a credit card. I get that funeral homes are businesses that need to make money, just as most of us do. It still feels callous and transactional. Send me an agreement, or something. I’ll DocuSign it. You’ll get your money.

Like he writes, that's just the world we live in. I always wonder at why certain realities under capitalism trigger our innate disgust and not others - is it just overton window? I agree that it's gross to have affiliate links on a blog about a dying brother, just like I think it's gross that funerals can cost damn near as much as weddings, and he's right, at every step of the way people are asking you for money at really shitty times, because you're one of 20 funerals the given vendor is dealing with and they're running a business.

I also think it's really gross that the majority of people money to a stranger every month for the right to live in their home, for years, decades even, but most people don't find that gross in the same way. Most people also don't find it gross that you have to pay to have children, pay a fee to activate the coax into your house to make it actually be able to connect to the internet, pay to be able to receive data on a very busy electromagnetic spectrum all around us, pay to have your kids eat at school, pay to get onto a train full of a thousand other people, etc. Why are some things gross and not others? Was there friction as certain things started costing cash that didn't before?

Oh, yes, what I meant to say is that you can send frames larger than 1500 bytes without resorting to IP fragmentation, in certain networks. I can see how it sounded like the "1500 limit" was the IPv6 reassembly limit, but I wanted to refer to the 1500 limit for a single frame.
I am a bit skeptical. There were a lot of papers and experiments in 80s and 90s about different ANN architectures alternative to f(x*w+b). The reality today all practical SOTA models are still multiply-accumulate-threshold based. It's just its speed and simplicity.

This is the opposite of "clear and user-friendly"; it’s totally misleading. You write on your website that:

> What is Small.im? Small.im is an open-source batch image compression tool that supports multiple image formats.

And at the top you put a GitHub link to the original project. If someone doesn’t click on that link and do a bit of research, they might think you are the author of the open-source project, when in reality you just deployed your own fork without publishing your source and without mentioning the parent project (and with "© webmaster.studio. All rights reserved." at the bottom).
Or because of mergers and acquisitions like every other industry.

1'100 m is getting warmed up for them.

4,593 m (5,023 yards (2.85 miles)) is their notion of a long shot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7owwTz7Z0OE

We were raised (farm shooting) to think 600 yard head shots were adequate and good was north of there. Our father was in Navy after being a farm boy and routinely won inter service 'friendlies' ( AU v US v UK v etc.) so that was probably a high 'low bar' in hindsight.

I'm not overlooking it, self-interested political parties are, but you are conflating the authentication problem with the voting problem. Moving to electronic voting does not solve the authentication problem, it just adds one more problem.

I was not saying the plane proposed here will lower the barrier, I’m just stating what I think the barrier is.

I think 90% people who aren’t older than 60 or so would get the medical without a problem. If you would remove the medical requirement, you wouldn’t suddenly have double the private pilots. If planes were 1/10th of the price they currently are (both in purchase and operation), you would. Medical isn’t the main blocker to private aviation.

It's very unclear and therefore not a good definition. (It could equally well describe native Americans with a totemic animal, which is hardly the same thing, obviously.) OED says for "furry":

Also with capital initial. An enthusiast for anthropomorphic animal characters, esp. a person who dresses up in costume as such a character or uses one as an avatar in a computer-generated environment. For some enthusiasts, this interest has a sexual dimension.

That seems a bit clearer though I can't vouch for its accuracy.
VO2 max, a measure of the maximum amount of oxygen an individual can utilize during intense exercise, is a critical indicator of cardiorespiratory fitness and overall health. In episode #176 of his podcast, Peter Attia delves into how VO2 max correlates with longevity, emphasizing its significance in reducing mortality risk.
When I worked at LinkedIn my entire team was Indian, my manager was Indian and the entire chain of command up to Satya Nadella was Indian with the exception of Ryan Rolansky the CEO of LinkedIn who will 100% be replaced by an Indian when he exits.

Indian people arent smarter or harder workers than white people or asians...so the obvious conclusion is that this is cronyism.

And this is considered 100% diverse!

Its frustrating how 'diversity' just means less white people nowadays.

I think the point is that if Google is not allowed to make such payments, neither is Microsoft (unless they want to risk the same lawsuit against them). Apple will stay with Google since a change would probably be unpopular with users. End result: Default search engines stay the same, but Google doesn't have to pay for it anymore.

I think this ignores Apple could still develop their own search engine, as they did with Maps, and pocket the ad revenue themselves.
I've never ever had anything happen to me on a train in 37 years of life.

My SO takes the train everyday to go to work, literally every day (we live in Colonna, near Rome, and she works in Rome center) and this has never happened to her.

There are downsides, trains might be full at peak times like 7.30 AM and you get to stand in middle of many other people, but what would the alternative be? Twice the amount of time and a magnitude of order more of stress to get there by car? She doesn't even need to buy a car, we only own one in our household and it sits in the garage most of the time.
there is nothing wrong postgres transactions, they work exactly as intended, but they aren't magic. this is pretty easy to test:

Session 1:

psql (16.3 (Debian 16.3-1.pgdg120+1))
Type "help" for help.

postgres=# CREATE TABLE tags (
id INT GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# ALTER TABLE tags ADD CONSTRAINT tags_name_unique UNIQUE(name);
ALTER TABLE
postgres=# INSERT INTO tags (name) VALUES ('A'), ('B') RETURNING *;
id | name
----+------
1 | A
2 | B
(2 rows)

INSERT 0 2
postgres=# BEGIN;
BEGIN
postgres=*# INSERT INTO tags (name) VALUES ('B') ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING RETURNING *;
id | name
----+------
(0 rows)

INSERT 0 0

Session 2:

psql (16.3 (Debian 16.3-1.pgdg120+1))
Type "help" for help.

postgres=# DELETE FROM tags WHERE name = 'B';
DELETE 1

Session 1 continues:

postgres=*# SELECT * FROM tags WHERE name = 'B';
id | name
----+------
(0 rows)

postgres=*# END;
COMMIT

(yes, I added `ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING` to avoid aborting the transaction prematurely)

As with all of our locations, we strive to keep our costs a low as possible. Traffic plays a major role in the costs of our cloud servers. Our analyses have shown that the majority of users tend to require less traffic. Therefore we adjusted the included traffic. This means that the many users with low consumption do not pay for the few users with high consumption, and we can make the prices fairer overall. --Katie
If you can solve the technical problem of ensuring an AI acts on behalf of its user's interests, please post the solution on the AI Alignment Forum: https://www.alignmentforum.org/

So far, that is not a feature of existing or hypothesized AI systems, and it's a pretty important feature to add before AI exceeds human capabilities in full generality.
No they should not, because:
1. There are different liquid metal thermal interfaces on the market which has different alloys(i.e. Gallid ZHM-6).

I think if you don't see the (often overt) bias of an outlet's media that you consume, the likeliest reason is that 1) you're not aware of current social and political topics or 2) the content already aligns with your politics and/or worldview.

It sounds like Elon Musk and perceived right wing bias are what inflame you. Perhaps that's how others felt about that short period under the old management when they were also not neutrally politically aligned?
> It is absolutely demonstrably true that the article linked here sidesteps how sulfur emmissions are a band aid solution requiring constant topping up that fail to address underlying issues.

No one denies that. That never was the point. The issue is that the reality is that unless somehow a miracle happens we are not going to reach net zero in time to avoid major issues, key point being "in time". We need more time.

> It is absolutely demonstrably true that the largest CO2 sequestration project on the planet hasn't yet met it's own goals and when and if it does the amounts stashed below will be tiny in comparison to the amount released.

Patently untrue. And even if it was true (which it isn’t to be clear), we need advance in sequestration. That’s a prerequisite to net zero working. We might get away with what the ocean will absorb if we reach net zero quickly but: one, that’s not going to happen, two, there is good reason to think the ocean sinking ability will slow down.

Also well done on cleverly sidestepping the part on accounting tricks which you know to be fully true.
Read about how Intermittent Du Spectacle and Sacem/SACD work.

Very broad strokes, IDS is basic income, you have to fulfil a number of gigs to renew a fixed guaranteed income for the following year. Sacem is more or less proportional to success.

I live in one of the cities you mentioned. I think part of the problem is that many of the “fun” areas have become expensive and bring a different crowd, or people feel entitled to a certain experience because of the prices they’re paying.

The bars that still have $2-3 drinks (yes, these exist!) still have a wonderful, self-policing crowd. I also used to bartend in the same time range as you, at the equivalent of a 6th street bar.
That's a an interesting suggestion! By design, I can swap out or export to nanoCoP-i https://leancop.de/nanocop-i/ , an intuitionistic prover, but I haven't had a good theory the play with. I was considering maybe an intuitionistic set theory, but this seems like a good case too.
Electric cars are expensive. Why don't billionaires buy them for everyone?

The same for well insulated housing, shingles vaccines, solar roofs, private tutors, etc.

If we were to force or otherwise 'encourage' billionaires to pay for these, the supply of people willing to put in the effort to become such would dry up.
Free speech is not without consequences.

It’s just that the consequences you face are reverse proportional to your wealth.
This is an overdue submission from mainstream media. The good thing is that this particular inflation example cannot be denied.

33% increase in food prices can be seen in many other products. The general inflation is of course due to reckless COVID spending and rising energy prices as well as reckless and ineffective sanctions.

33% increase also applies to health insurance in Europe as well as rents.

Now, I wish we had journalists who would pick up these issues in a timely manner and not two years after the damage has been done and is too big to ignore.
And also get sued by the FTC. Disclosure is required.
I was also obsessed with this game (Commodore 64). I never had the real version, and my bootleg floppies didn't come with a map.

Somewhere in my boxes, I still have (8-12-ish?) pages of taped together graph paper that I drew the map on, one screen at a time.

I recall enormous frustration waiting for some subset of the (was it 6?!) disks to load one at a time, especially when missing an edge and gliding all the way to the ground from a tree limb in the sky.

Despite all the waiting around, Below the Root is one of the best games of all time for me.

You might be right when it comes to employees, but definitely not when it comes to users.

There's a lot of people using X, and the vast, vast majority of them don't care much for Musk or actively dislike him.

THe problem with X is that it is (and always was) sort of an echo chamber, there's no average X user, everybody sees very different content based on what they follow. The average HNer probably won't notice the huge swathes of people who are on there just for sports content or their favorite celebrity. Those people usually don't care much for Musk, except when he appears in some funny meme.
Not for Elon or Trump? Say more insane things (which gets normies banned), get more money.

3. Shape into loaves.
4. Bake for 20-30 minutes.
5. Enjoy your freshly baked white bread!

Great news though I wonder why we're continuing with 7002 in new locations.

I get the consistency but by now that's 2 (almost 3) generations old. Would rather have a new start. The 7002 is due for an upgrade. At some point it's no longer a price advantage when the hard is so behind.
Once they all start doing it, it won't matter.
And I’ll just preemptively jump in and nip this in the bud before some HNer writes their anti-RTO manifesto in the replies:

Not all organisations or executives have a vested interest in commercial real estate. Especially this late in the game when plenty of orgs have had an opportunity to let their leases expire.

Not all RTO action is due to some perverted desire by incompetent managers to see subordinate butts in seats, either.

There is a sizeable contingent of leadership that legitimately sees in-person work as the best means of eliciting productivity from their staff, and are willing to trade off taking a hit from some staff not being happy about this, and potentially leaving. You might not agree with the strategy. You might strongly feel that it’s wrong. But the reality is that they believe it.

Furthermore there is certainly a sizeable contingent of staff that would prefer a hybrid role to full WFH. I’m not talking about faceless sales leadership extroverts as techies often put it. I’m talking about ICs. I’m talking about developers.

And there are certainly, certainly people that just don’t feel as strongly about it as a lot of the people here.

I’d love for just one WFH-related thread to not devolve into faux-intelligent basically-xeroxed screeds about commercial real estate and dumb management.

Further yes, for some reason people still use it so I have to as well or I sell nothing. However, if it would collapse or have Not Musk, it might be better. We will see eventually.
Indeed a great system, but oh so expensive...
well, yes, you are right that exception does abort the transaction. but even if you use something like 'on conflict do nothing' to avoid the exception, you still can get problems with concurrent writes (see my sibling comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41169638)

REPEATABLE READ or SERIALIZABLE isolation levels would help with that, as the name suggest repeatable read ensures that the read made by inserts constraint check is repeatable in successive select (or update) statements.
