BigCo is less likely to give a sense of desperation in day-to-day work, but a layoff or forced stack-ranking can still fall out of the clear blue sky due to executive machinations.
Rational arithmetic machines have their uses. SAT solvers tend to have one inside. That's because rational arithmetic is closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
I’ve been doing an unfortunate amount of driving the last year, across a bunch of states, and have still only seen this at two or three stations ever. One of them in my home city, and I avoided that (conveniently-located) station for that reason.

Maybe there are a few cities where it’s a ton more common than most of the rest of the country.
I'm not saying it didn't exist back then. My experience was that the performative acting style existed but was less common. But I definitely encountered it.

However I get the impression that this is the standard play style today.
Mr. Beast is FAR from the most pathological content on YouTube.
It's going to be great. Bring in people for "in person collaboration" only to have all of them talk to each other on Zoom because every single team is distributed. It is that way because the same set of leaders pushing for RTO, hired people all over the world when remote work took off.

Apple and Mozilla can do it because they don't have as much browser market share as Google, and they don't run their own advertising businesses.
This is a stupid non-issue. You can go ahead and call it JavaScript despite what Oracle does or doesn't say.

Better yet, though: don't call it JavaScript—call it JS. "JavaScript" is and always was a dumb name. "JS" is not only fine, but better—and not because "JS" is particularly good, but because "JavaScript" itself isn't exactly hard to beat.

The only thing left to do is for the spec authors (which includes signatories to this petition) and the rest of TC-39 to say so; the next edition of ECMA-262 should modify the existing disclaimer in the preface about "JavaScript" being an Oracle trademark to state unequivocally that "JavaScript"—an unfortunate vestige of an ill-considered marketing decision in the 1900s—is a deprecated way to refer to the language not otherwise terribly well-known as ECMAScript and that the recommended way to refer to it is simply as "JS".
Looks like there's plenty of masks available on Amazon. I suspect a major part of why the mask gets a prescription is to make insurance covering it simpler.
How do you plan to differentiate it from Shots.so? I’ve been using it for months and it’s so good I couldn’t believe it’s 100% free. Not sure how another screenshot app will stand out let alone make money.
Stuff like this is so convenient and intuitive that it makes you wonder why we didn't start here in the first place!

One thing I wonder is how many data scientists will use this feature given that it is not enabled by default (which is understandable, would be messy for every notebook to have a venv), and only via command-line arguments.

I guess this is easily remedied by helpful beginner tooltip UX ("This notebook has several dependencies. Would you like to build it in a sandbox?").
That would work if you can assign requests from a given tenant to a single instance, but there are many situations in which that's either impossible or unwise. What if a single server doesn't have enough capacity to handle all the traffic for a tenant? How do you preserve the state if that instance fails?
How've you found `uv` as a package manager? I've generally been a fan of Astral's tools in the Python ecosystem and I'm considering making the switch from `poetry`.

Actually, it seems like a great time to get involved with the grid (at least in the US). In order to comply with FERC Order 881, all transmission operators need to adjust their line ratings based on ambient temperatures with hourly predictions 10 days into the future by mid 2025. Seems like that would present a great opportunity to work directly with the ISOs (which have regional models and live data) on improving weather data.
No idea if related, but I had a really frustrating issue recently on fedora/similar kernel version.

Resume from sleep stopped working, and boot started taking minutes. Going through logs I was able to figure out it was probably usb related, and that sleep worked if you were patient enough to wait for a timeout, but the issue persisted with all cables unplugged. The error code was something along the lines of failing to provide enough power for a device, I suspected my new speakers despite them having dedicated wall outlet power (usb audio despite being on the motherboard AFAIK)

Long story short someone in a thread somewhere suggested unplugging from the wall for 10 min and to my surprise it worked - I guess it cleared the fault somehow and it hasn't reoccurred (yet). Might be worth a try.
Possibly because, as some have claimed, society is effectively not run for the benefit of all people but for the benefit of a few people who are making lots of money.

Can a more Apple-minded person help me understand if the Apple Watch SE counts as "Series 9"? I don't totally understand how "SE" relates to numerical versioning, but I am also not an Apple person.

What is the problem this 'solution' is intended to solve? How to not pay a fair price for services?
Ironically if they stopped this gimmick they keep up to be able to charge 30% they could have the app and the developer would be the liable one. But the developer doesn't even have to make these claims, they can just put it up and say "this may detect if you're on your back".

Apple isn't liable for you looking up medical misinformation that kills you using your iPhone on the Safari browser. Why would it be for an app that is clearly made by someone else? The difference is only because of the vetting, and they only do vetting to charge their fee, otherwise they'd vet other things too.

It's incredible how companies bend backwards to bullet proof any liability whatsoever on anything, except if they can make money on it.
Probably a difference in epistemology. A historian should try to start with facts and primary sources and draw a conclusion from them. A revisionist starts from a (perhaps politically motivated) conclusion and looks for facts to support that conclusion.

I agree that you should use caution, but I make my own vape juice by the gallon and it's not that bad.

~96% of it is a mix of essentially harmless vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol, vegetable glycerine is used in cosmetics, lotions, ice creams, and toothpastes, and propylene glycol is commonly found in those 0 calorie water enhancer flavor squirt bottles (like MIO).

The other 4% are the flavors and the nicotine, and the only one I would be extra cautious about is the raw nicotine fluid, as accidentally dumping that all over yourself could expose you to enough nicotine to make you sick or requiring a hospital visit if not thoroughly washed off immediately.

Calling this "consent" dilutes trust in all apps, and the platform as a whole. When an app pops up a modal dialog asking for permission to send me notifications on first launch, with the implication that it's to receive transactional notifications rather than advertisements, and I get an attention-wasting notification like this as a result of my "consent", I'm going to stop "consenting" in the future.

I'm sorry you're feeling overwhelmed by too many notifications on your phone. The solution is not to burden the user with even more notifications that they didn't ask for, with the sole purpose of (as admitted in your docs!) boosting engagement. If I set a pill reminder, then by all means send me a notification on the schedule that we've mutually agreed upon, but don't "remind" me to complete an onboarding that I explicitly chose to abandon, or to open the app just because I've naturally left it alone for a couple days and you'd like to artificially juice your DAU numbers.
But at what point does it become no longer "blog" and just generic "content"?

Personally, I'd strongly insist that the whole point of blogs was to do whatever the fuck you want.

Because that was the point when they emerged: they democratized publishing the way the internet democratized the share and spread of information on a worldwide scale.

For better *AND* (you better believe) worse.

Now, if you're concerned about reach, engagement, monetization, etc., well that's a related but absolutely distinct discussion.
I know how to model a speaker's delivery; I find I lack the skill to model his.
Yeah it's just what I suppose might be the inevitable outcome for the very far future, assuming incremental improvements in all forms over a long time.

For the short term it's honestly way harder to say, there could easily be another 50 year winter in between. But machines improve, and humans don't, so as long as non-zero progress is made it's a virtual certainty.
That's because the "right way" needs to vary depending on what you're building. You don't build a garden shed the same way you build a skyscraper. Likewise, you don't build a twitter client the same way you build an implantable pacemaker.
I think this was a pretty obvious end-goal when they required everyone to relocate back to Seattle and go in 3 days a week.

As a tangent, everyone I know at Amazon is over-worked and stressed out. I legitimately don't know anyone whose happy there. How is that a sustainable corporate culture?
> no numbers, no evidence, nothing that shows this is a good idea.

I do not view these as counterpoints. You are making the same point, which is that the metric one optimizes for is extremely important. MrBeast is solely focused on maximizing revenue on the YouTube platform. The examples you cite also demonstrate the same exact metric (i.e., profit) in other domains. I know HP was in the habit of crippling its printers to extract more money, to add to your other examples.

Out of curiosity, what's wrong with Intel? Are you referring to their selling more capable parts for more money? If so, that does not strike me as a shady practice to maximize profits. More like how the best fruit goes for export, where it can fetch the most return.

If the view counter is part of the resource itself, then yes, incrementing it on GET breaks the idempotence contract - but it should be obvious that by breaking idempotence, you're breaking idempotence. If it's part of the response without being part of the resource, you're not breaking idempotence - otherwise things like updating a JS library would also break idempotence, but it doesn't, since it's not part of the resource.

The City of Angels in Latin
The author might make broad sweeping generalizations but the main point is true. A group of PCs is basically a democracy. Such D&D democracy makes roleplaying in strict social hierarchies pretty difficult. PCs will mouth off to kings or wizards or even deities.

I clearly remember how such "D&D PC-ism" influenced the relative flopping of the early Star Trek RPG [FASA, 1982 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_The_Role_Playing_Ga...]. The main reason? No one wanted to be ordered around by a Captain PC, or by other PC officers that outranked them. Players wanted to be "equals." (While Star Trek TTRPG did have fans and survived for a long while, it never really took off as many hoped it would.)

Another reason, though, is that it did not satisfy the bloodlust of the typical "hack and slash" D&D fans (what are now called "murder hobos" — wandering bands of characters with no allegiances, no lords, no loyalties). These types of players couldn't just use the Enterprise's phasers to hold planets hostage and take all their loot. They couldn't just be space pirates. They thought the universe of Star Trek was "boring." In GDW's Traveller, by contrast, you could definitely (in due time) get a ship capable of hurling nukes at planets. You could be space pirates! Now that was "fun!"

It is often difficult to get many D&D players outside of their modernisms and into a medieval mindset, or into any sort of realistic strictly hierarchical society (as shown, even in Science Fiction).

I've run Pendragon for decades. It can misfire spectacularly if players refuse to put aside their modern mindsets and adopt the concepts of chivalry, feudalism, courtly love and faith (Christian or otherwise) that are central to its themes and historical source materials.

I had a whole session in this past year where I went through the ancient Brehon marriage laws under late pagan/early Christian Ireland. (btw: It's a far cry from "Say Yes to the Dress.")

D&D is more like a typical Renn Faire. A motley assortment of anything from ancient to nearly modern dress. A cross-time saloon of attitudes, weaponry, cultures and so on. What passes for society is made up from kit-bashed models. It rarely makes cohesive sense.

That feeling of being "smothered" might simply be that you need a higher pressure setting. The pressure that feels comfortable while awake might not be sufficient when your body is asleep.
> It feels sometimes like the PC world is in collapse. No one wants to sell chips any more, it's all for cloud or for appliance-ized phone-lile systems. When someone does come along and starts making new chips, they get bought

Alternatively, smartphones are the PC (personal computer) of choice.

SoC and mobile chips are themselves near desktop level performance. Heck, Apple's A18 can outcompete the M1 in certain benchmarks, and outcompetes a Kaby Lake Intel i5 (2017-19 period) in most aspects.

We are reaching a point where commodity mobile processors have mid-2010s desktop chip level performance but at a fraction of the cost, which opens up plenty of opportunities.

SE is a line orthogonal to their flagship models. Usually it means they took the enclosure from a previous watch and shoved some improved guts in it. Apple Watch SE is similar to Apple Watch Series 8 in terms of processing power but externally (screen, sensors) it’s like Apple Watch Series 4 or thereabouts.
More mundane, but it also unconditionally blasts a bunch of config files under /etc that rightfully belong to the user/administrator. I've not seen any OS as willing to simultaneously Sherlock existing apps and rip out the APIs they depend on, either.

macOS upgrades are indeed generally exceptionally disruptive to applications.

Good luck. In math, it's extremely difficult to teach the mental concepts and critical thinking. Unless you have a gifted teacher, most schools just teach you rote memorization and solving countless duplicate problems that use the same technique.
We don't. That person has no idea what they're talking about. Virtually no AI researcher would require "neuron simulations" for intelligence, nor agree with their AGI claims. (See: recent machine learning expert surveys, for example.)

Use HN comments for comic relief. When you see one worth taking seriously, you'll know it. Otherwise we're just giving oxygen to contrarians.
The human condition is the human condition, in that for as long as we are human, it will never be any other way. This is why our demise is inevitable, and likely to be by our own hand. Greed will always exist, and human ingenuity will never be stopped. The result is an asymptotic approach to certain doom. This is why I think the "Great Filter" explanation for the Fermi Paradox is the most likely.
He'd still have to work with the editor and review the results; that's at least a couple hours of work. This has a substantially lower EV than managing, networking, producing videos, etc. I'd make the same call.
It would need to know what you are working on and bring you into contact with people whoveork on similar things and could mentor you or add real value to your work or private project.

Show HN: AI Chatbot App with Pay-per-Use Access to Multiple Models
I've built an AI chatbot app that provides pay-per-use access to multiple high-end AI models from different providers. It's designed for developers and hobbyists who need occasional access to powerful AI models without monthly subscriptions.

Features:
- Access to models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and others
- Pay-per-use credit system
- No monthly fees or commitments
- Suitable for both hobby projects and professional use

I'd love to get your feedback and answer any questions!
We would like to make this configurable via a setting so you don't need to pass it through the CLI every time. And I agree, maybe a tooltip/notification to nudge them in that direction.

We would also like to auto-detect a pyproject.toml, and use that when desired.
That is interesting. I'm currently obsessed with exercise physiology. I might look into that.

It's a chicken and egg situation. You don't know a model's capabilities until it is trained. When you then change the training with that learning, it will have modified capabilities.

On another note, I've just finished listening to Harry Potter (1-7) audiobooks read by Stephen Fry - and he's marvellous as an actor there. Every main person he read had a different type of voice, a different way of speaking, melody, and pronunciation, and you mostly could know who was speaking even before the narrator said so, all on the courtesy of the one throat of Stephen Fry.

Now listening to Hitchhiker's Guide To Galaxy. Nice to see he has also a blog, and even sometimes reads it with his own voice.
We don't need a very strong world government to meet our challenges, I think, including climate change and AI. We can do it with agreements and accords.

(I also don't think a world government might be as dystopic as people imply or fear, for the record, because it can follow democratic principles just as we currently have; and its effects might not be as great as we already have today with the globalizing effects of internet and specially social media. Just given the resistence against the concept, I think the tools we already have and simply coordinating as countries, if may be less effective, probably can work)

The key thing about them is that accords must be enforceable and enforced. There must be consequences for violating them (with escalating gravity, sanctions and measures).

I actually think disarmament of governments worldwide should be one of those goals I believe (and I think very urgent). We know that war is essentially the worst possible form of diplomacy or two nations resolving a disagreement (when it isn't just a power grab or senseless destruction). We shouldn't have that option readily available at all. As for the danger that one nation rapidly industrializes and acquires weapons, against defenseless opponents, we would have very stringent and effective vigilance at all countries industrial capacity against production of significant quantities of military weapons. We can actually extinguish war forever like we extinguish diseases, I really believe. For anyone thinking about existential risks to humanity, I think this should be near the top of the list beside climate change I think.

Of course, there will still be conflicts coming from a myriad of reasons, but those conflicts can be managed and resolved in other ways. And practicing mutual agreements and conflict resolution will be as important as ever -- simply military disarming doesn't magically resolve all issues. For lasting stability worldwide promotion of fundamental human values and rights as well as peace is extremely important (a wise population will not wage war on fellow humans). I think there could be some international work in this area as well. The UN is usually great at it too.
