You might be thinking of UPS. USPS doesn't operate outside of the US.
I hate sticking third-party modules into my vehicles but I also hate the hesitation on uncontrolled left-hand turns in particular. Seems dangerous. I've pretty much just made it a reflex to hit the turn-off button when I turn on the car. At least it's easy once a reflex.

Too bad. It seems a great vehicle otherwise. Like it a lot more than my previous 4Runner.
Is there a reason you chose iOS? I use lots of Apple products but even I’ll admit they are less hardy and repairable than other options, which makes me believe the prepper audience would prefer alternatives.
Safe deposit boxes are not be as safe as you think.
Some teams use Kanban which is a way to manage the number of tasks/tickets and doesn’t generally use sprints. It’s mostly a bug queue of work.
>SCOTUS has said that the chief executive of the note-holding institution (in this case, the President of the United States) cannot use discretion in deciding who he gets to forgive for loans.

Yes, because the power of the purse rests solely with the House of Representatives.

Despite terms like "the President's budget", the White House has next to no authority in regards to what budget they get and how it will be spent. The legislature (House of Representatives) legislates and the executive (White House) executes; the executor cannot legislate.

This is why the often mentioned PPP loan forgiveness was fine (it was codified by the House) but Biden unilaterally deciding that certain debts to the government are forgiven is not.
The secret purpose of Scrum is to get rid of managers and empower the engineering team. Most "scrum" is simply taught wrong because it was sold to companies as a way to squeeze workers.
I am surprised by the long hood/nose and then thick bumpers.

By law, there’s usually 6-10’ space requirement for parking near a mailbox on a street. And cars rarely follow those rules, parking pretty close to mailboxes.

So I’d expect the front end to be as short as possible so driver can more easily maneuver to reach mail boxes.
Military F250/350 all have emission deletes
If a widget costs $10, and a competitor comes in who is subsidized by the largest population in the world and then sells a competing widget for $1, this will seem like a great deal in the short term for the population. (Until they stop manufacturing widgets because they can’t sell below cost.)

Adding $9 in tariffs to the $1 may seem like inflation, but it’s something slightly different.
Be like Microsoft. Fire all your QA. QA is now done by developers and end users.

If a multibillion dollar corporation can do this, so can you!
> but I also hate the hesitation on uncontrolled left-hand turns in particular. Seems dangerous.

Bingo. This is exactly where it scares me, particularly when I'm already in an intersection.

> I've pretty much just made it a reflex to hit the turn-off button when I turn on the car. At least it's easy once a reflex.

My daily driver is old enough not to have auto stop/start. My problem is my wife's vehicle has it. She instinctively turns it off as soon as she's in the vehicle. Because I only drive her vehicle sporadically, I don't have the muscle memory to do that, so it inevitably catches me by surprise.
This is probably related to Kim Jong Un's new Maybach GLS
Modern economy has become too complex and stupid at the same time. There are layers upon layers that contribute nothing to it, yet somehow inflate the valuation, and burst from time to time, while a few take full advantage of it.

I think it should be possible to radically simplify taxation and law, with the goal of maximizing productivity and minimizing parasitism. The economy would shrink in numbers, but quality of life should generally improve.

Bonus points if population growth is not encouraged, but is allowed to find a lower equilibrium. The global economy shouldn't work like a Ponzi scheme.
Somebody tested people on Hacker News to evaluate programming competency.

This was part of a larger evaluation comparing the Hacker News population to people on Reddit programming subreddits.

Here is a very heated discussion of the result:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33293522

It appears that Hacker News is perhaps NOT populated by the programming elite. In contrast, there are real wizards on Reddit.

Surprising, I know.
I'm not sure if you are getting the point.

Your opinion about censorship should not depend on whether Elon Musk is a hypocrite.

Maybe it'll help to think in terms of fictional characters to get over your Elon Musk obsession.

If Voldemort suddenly started criticizing Umbridge, it doesn't automatically make Umbridge a great character, no matter how much you hate Voldemort.
It can build up over time and requires regular blood work.
Isn't this treating 3 as something that can be analyzed from -3? Like -3 is the union of 3 and the (-), and not something onto itself. Ought it to be the case that negative is more than just a sign? Like, I think 3 should be ontologically distinct from -3, even if the addition of 3 and -3 = 0. Idk, I don't have a reason for this, it feels right for some reason.
Spots Around Hyrule (TotK)
If they were, they would probably be using TinkerCAD.
i thought this list was also self-explanatory. i didn't have a hard time thinking of counterexamples to any of the points, which is not true of patio11's article. but what's self-explanatory depends on your knowledge base. maybe i just know less about foreign cultures than i do about tcp
From what I've heard, aerospace and automotive are still largely using waterfall.
Big Data to Small Data: AI Efficiency's Next Frontier
The age of Big Data has brought immense transformations across industries, particularly in the realm of artificial intelligence (AI). With vast amounts of data, AI systems have become more powerful, providing incredible insights, automating processes, and driving decision-making.
There is a big world out there beyond rendering.

CAM people, for example drive numerically controlled machines and robots. (CNC machines) These machines are driven by lines, arcs, higher order analytic curves, such as the conic, and recent controllers will accept bsplines.

Having path planning done with real geometric entities brings a lot of benefits along for the ride! Accuracy without a bazillion entities for the look ahead system to manage and for program buffers to drip feed (DNC) to a machine that probably does not have a large enough program memory to deal with that bazillion entities.

In many cases, derivative or extrapolated curves do not convey the right shape or path or are difficult and time consuming to force conformance.

We ended up with the big geometry kernels, such as Parasolid, precisely so that CAD could create a brep (boundary representation model) of sufficient fidelity to make other tasks, such as CAM and simulation, as well as derivative designs possible, practical, repeatable.

Those big code bodies have so damn many man hours of development in them it is very hard to replace it all. And that means we are stuck with some things, like many operations being single threaded, which caps CAD design to be a function of sequential compute speeds.

There are ways to build models to eliminate some dependencies, and the same goes for assemblies, so that multi-processing of some sort is possible. That brings our multi-core CPUs into the game.

But those are hard to teach, a lot of software does not yet support multi-threading anywhere near enough to fully exploit the model work, and, and, and...

In the CAD / CAM world, the primitive is the b-spline, and the surfaces it can represent.

Those generate faces, trim boundaries and sets of those create boundary representation models.

And still those can cause grief. They might be open, or just a surface representation. Or, they may self intersect...

Basically, every edge, which boils down to a b-spline curve that matches up to another b-spline curve serving as a trim boundary of a surface, must be shared by two and only two surfaces or the model is not representative of a real world, manufacturable thing.

Another great observation regarding real world objects is there are no edges, just radii, if only a single molecule big. Just an interesting and perhaps useful aside.

And b-splines are constrained to conform to the properties of lower order entities, such as lines, arcs, and the like. This is a part of why wireframe entities are all called "curves" or "sketch curves." They literally are all b-splines constrained by number and or placement of control points.
They did say each token is generated using probability, not certainty, given that there is a chance it produces wrong tokens
"He found a way to further boost the number of electric vehicles when he met with President Joe Biden’s top environmental adviser, John Podesta. That led to a deal in which the government provided $3 billion to the Postal Service, with part of it earmarked for electric charging stations."
The base system and packages are usually smaller than home, so the possibility of a bitrot is actually lower. Package files' integrity can also be automatically checked by some tools. In addition, they are much easier to reproduce, as you said, one can always just reinstall the system and download all packages again.

Your home and /etc actually matter more.
Sorry but that comparison is nonsense. Potato chips are just fried slices of potato. How would you squeeze 6-8 medium potatoes (each weighing 5-10oz according to top Google result for "average medium sized potato weight") into a 7.5oz bag.
There was a TON of controversy early on. There were _significant_ cuts, and, IIRC, very poor performance during the first Christmas season. I remember a large amount of negativity about both his proposed changes and the actual changes he implemented. Of course, the extent to which you think it's trying to kill the USPS vs simply make it more efficient to save it will depend a lot on your politics.
It's easier because mainstream cryptocurrency services support money laundering for privacy reasons, and will happily process withdrawals from known money laundering services like Tornado Cash until OFAC orders them to stop. Even if you trust that they're doing an honest inquiry into the source of large amounts - and I do not - they can't know that an arbitrary mixer output didn't come from casino winnings or Ethereum mining in the early days.
I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're saying.
In my country we teach the same rules in math class. Blaming it on “unary vs binary” was a stretch. Next you’re going to blame it on the lexer for producing the -3 as a single term instead of two. (Which WOULD explain something, but… fix it?!)

In my country we use a horizontal line with a dot above and below to indicate in-line division in lower grades. Exactly like the computer /.

It’s not like there was no precedent here.
What in Scrum is about keeping managers happy?
I also migrated from Pinboard to Raindrop and can confirm it's a great service, is updated regularly and while I've generally not received quick responses to questions or feedback, I do eventually. It's also worth mentioning that at least for iOS and MacOS, it has nice integrations that work well, which I could never say about Pinboard.
In much the same way the internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it, financial networks consider lost opportunity due to regulation as damage and route around it.

People will assume I mean buying drugs, but actually, I mean:

- when I had $10k in my US bank account but couldn’t access it while traveling because I ran afoul of whatever KYC at Western Union after losing my bank card; or,

- today, when I couldn’t prepay for OpenAI platform credits because I have the “wrong kind” of bank account for them.

Society views the fascistic impulses of those in control stifling innovation and growth as damage — and will perennially route around them to get the system flourishing again.
>Often slang has originated from marginalised groups such as the queer community or POC (People of Colour).

And that hasn't changed, that is still exactly the case. When it's not 4chan lingo (which mostly stays in text/image form), it's AAVE. Not sure why it's always "Gen Z" or teenage girls getting credit for this.

Just look at their list of phrases that are "in":

Phrases that are "in"

>Bet — 'I'm down'. For example, if someone asks you to go out for dinner, you say 'bet'
>You devoured/ate — said in response to someone succeeding with style
>Full send — not caring, just going for it
>Slaps — If something slaps, it's really good (normally in a food context)
>Ceebs — a variation of CBF [can't be f*ked]
>Ick — a sudden feeling of grossness, often about a person's behaviour or mannerisms

out of these, only "Ceebs" (sounds like the a twist on "can't be arsed") and "Ick" aren't AAVE.

And the list of phrases that are "out":

>No cap — the truth
>Lit — something is great, but now considered very "2017-2018"
>Fam — used in reference to friends
>Slay — used when someone performs well, but considered dated and you'd only use the term ironically

These are all AAVE.
KYC

Know Your Customer, for anyone else unfamiliar with the acronym.
Nobody cares about hacking home networks. They probably sell them as residential proxy IPs.
Rivians cost ~45% more per-unit than the postal vehicle (86k vs $59k), and doesn’t come in an ice variant, which the Post Office requires.
All true. Great comment.
Right, and science shows that in calorie controlled diets (where people have their diets carefully controlled), they have no issue with weight loss/gain/whatever.

This leads to the obvious conclusion it's peoples inability to manage how much they eat that leads to their obesity. What else could it be?

Granted, this isn't necessarily their own moral failing... but the environment they're put in does not set them up for success.
While it seems that I may have triggered some extremely negative sentiment here with my honest question, I appreciate the responses that didn't assume I think Greek people are aliens or serfs. I'm quite ignorant of the on-the-ground realities of Greek life (having not visited yet), but I've read enough to understand that the economic conditions haven't been great there for some time now. Therefore, I think it appropriate to question how outsiders might be received under the current conditions. I apologize if this wasn't clear from my original question. Another commenter was correct in identifying the news regarding local hostilities in some regions towards tourists whom are viewed to be part of the problem and therefore met with hostility.

It's really easy. Use casinos in 3rd world countries to certify your money as gambling winnings. There must be underground network for this. So it looks like you're gambling and you got lucky. Very dangerous though. I heard that they charge 13% total fee. You come in at 5M$. You play for 1 week.. Leave with 160M or something. Bring that cash into the bank and deposit it.
LLMs amplify both intelligence and stupidity, which is why Terence Tao finds them about at the level of a mediocre graduate student (and getting better), and you can’t wait for them to die.
Well you are a manager, can you at least change how things are done for your team?
But the recipient is not one atomic thing - we're assuming perfect communication between the process/driver/hardware receiving the packets and doing the duplicate detection and the process which wants to receive the message exactly once.

There's still communication happening there, and it can still fail. Buffers fill, processes pause for arbitrary delays which exceed timeouts, etc. Your assumptions based on your model are correct, but your model doesn't include that communication.

But all models have some level of detail they care about, and assuming the computer always works is a perfectly valid model for plenty of cases. It's just not all of them. You'll be able to create real-world cases where this abstraction is faced with a choice of whether to retry or not, and at that moment it will be unable to deliver exactly once.
I want to use them. Lots of other people do, too. Feel free to get left behind.

Growing the Graveyard of "Better Spreadsheets"
You might want to have a look at the BYOK (Bring Your Own Keyboard) device that recently got funded on Kickstarter. It's wildly overpriced but having also had an Alphasmart I definitely think this looks like a better way to go than the Freewrite.

There is truth to this, but you’re overstating it. If AI is cheap and can replace grunt workers then we’ll have a massive wave of new businesses solving problems that previously required a massive capital investment.
You might have had a point in the days of .xls, but Excel by default uses .xlsx now which is just XML packaged inside a .zip archive if I recall.

And yes, Excel still fully supports .xls too.

I fear whatever format LibreOffice uses will die first, case in point I don't even remember what it's called even though I should as a computer nerd.
Depends on what you mean by "community". There used to be a repository named "community", it is now called "extra" and it is indeed an official repository.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Official_repositories

It is maintained by a group of trusted users who need to be sponsored by at least two other maintainers. This creates a web of trust rooted at the Arch Linux developers.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Package_Maintainers

The Arch User Repository is what I consider to be a "community" repository. It is essentially the programming language package manager model. You create an account and push whatever packagers you want.

You're missing the point. Economic activity isn't the meaning of life.
I've messed around with Bibisco, and that's a way more advanced writing tool. I think the purpose of this is simply "I want to write", vs being worried about structure and development at a higher-level detail.

That you seem to consider yourself sufficiently expert and authoritative to declare the idea "overplayed" -- and that you consider this declaration something that will further readers' understanding (which I at least view as the goal here) -- is... let's say, interesting.

In any case, no, I certainly would not attribute to pigs human-level cognition. But certainly, the notion that language is a prerequisite for thought (at least up through the level of "solving a Sudoku puzzle", per some research) has been largely discarded [0]. And certainly, as omnivores (who will kill and/or consume members of their own species, occasionally including even their own offspring, as well as members of other species) I think it's reasonable to suppose that pigs would have an inkling that one being's death is another's meal. And fundamentally, there is ample reason to suppose that pigs are closer to human-like cognition than the vast majority of species on earth. (Anecdata: they make for difficult pets owing to their need for stimulation, they can play video games [1], and -- as any reputable animal scientist will tell you -- once you get past certain bare-minimum things like ending the use of gestation crates, the most important things for pig welfare in industry are not group housing or (beyond a certain point) extra space, but rather giving them toys and a sense of cleanliness via clean bedding.)

But feel free to provide evidence that attests that "[t]heir thoughts on death and loss will be similarly weak." I would certainly take it into consideration.

We have a woman at my company whose job is to update Jira ticket statuses.

Instead of allowing the developers to update the statuses themselves, she will often prematurely update statuses from "In Development" to "Ready for QA" before any code is merged. Or she'll update a ticket that isn't yet being worked on to "In Development". It repeatedly causes a lot of confusion.

I think she feels the need to be so hands on with updating the statuses in order to justify her job, which, in my opinion, shouldn't exist.
The term "hallucinate" may not be the best. However, if the context is a device generating a plausible sounding but non-existent scientific reference for a given claim it makes, some words more specific than "producing false information..." seem needed.

These thing make assertions, some true, some false. Since they emulate human behavior, they say things that would tend to convince people of their assertions. So "anthropomorphism" is a complicated question.
I'm at a weird point in my career where every development process stresses me out, no matter what. Guess that's burnout.
some places are cheating and doing design sprints and eventually implementation sprints. better than doing mythical pure implementation.

Got a 3, product of the gifted ed system, with a few other challenges that aren’t counted in ACE, plus a healthy dash of what could be called self-sabotage as I began to make my adult way.

Now, decades later, I’m doing fine, better than fine actually, but relative my fears I am doing unbelievably fantastically. Of course, relative to the sense of limitless potential that the gifted ed system tends to implant, I should have invented cold fusion by now.

I long ago decided that the past was interesting but a terrible place to live. I consciously try hard to look forward and think about what I can do and not about what could have been or what other shadows might be lurking. That’s not advice, it’s just what I’ve done.
Ask HN: Recommendation for a tool for history research (gathering)?
Hello,

I've been trying to find a tool to help me gathering and organizing historical and biographical data.

I like doing some research on specific interests, but as an amateur I do most of it on text files, sheets and mind maps in a chronological directory structure with images and documents, etc. it is horrendous, but I did not find a tool to help me managing this. Is there something for this use case out there?

I believe something like a mind map with chronological information/visualisation, cross-linking, attachments and references would work, but I'm kinda struggling to find the right tool (looking at TreeSheet and another mind-map tool right now, but it is not feeling right yet).

Thanks
