I think derefr might be talking about the cells that form the walls of the capillaries being bigger, so you can't really fit them in the places you need them, and if you tried they'd be too narrow.

Except replace "you" with evolution and delete "tried".
I don't see any "oppression" here. All governments have personal data on its citizens. This is a fact of life. So far, the Aadhar data has been used for the benefit of society (like targeted assistance to people who deserve aid during Covid rather than doing "spray and pray")
In a sub that size with a subset of people who are quite pissed, those scores don't look that bad to me. The OP only has +17. We'll see, I guess.

To be honest I don't see the problem with making commercial use non-free.

(a) They're making millions, you deserve a cut of that.

(b) If making money makes you more likely to be around in 10 years, that's attractive to businesses. Nobody knows when your donations might suddenly dry up.
Microsoft could not win, although they tried very hard.

Windows was never going to scale down to the portable devices that we now use (because defeating Apple would have been very difficult, and AOSP made it insurmountable).

Windows was never going to scale up to the top 500 supercomputer list (for largely economic reasons).

Microsoft itself has tacitly admitted that Azure is better served by Linux, and we ponder why.

Did the DoJ actions against Microsoft really have an impact? I don't know.
Iirc a black hole with the mass of an asteroid (whose event horizon would be very small indeed) would have a hawking temperature smaller than the cosmic microwave radiation so there wouldn't be any net evaporation.
> I also liked the fact that Btrfs is probably super well tested in the Linux kernel by now.

btrfs has certainly been around for longer, but in my (embedded systems only) experience, EROFS has been pretty solid - it's slowly being picked up by Android, so it is definitely seeing a lot of use in the wild (probably surpassing btrfs by the number of installations already).

I'm getting 30 MiB/s (on a gigabit uplink) - not great, not terrible. A .torrent would be nice but I guess outside of being on the HN front page full-planet downloads by different people won't synchronize enough for this to be useful (and using web seeds is problamtic in its own right with small-ish chunks).
Apologies for being pedantic here, but Clojure is too - strongly typed, dynamically typed language. This means types are inherent to the values, not the variables that hold them, providing both safety and flexibility - even though variables don't have fixed types, every value in Clojure has a type.

In contrast, Javascript is weakly typed. Yet, Clojurescript, which compiles to JS, retains Clojure's strong typing principles even in the Javascript (weakly typed) runtime. That (to certain degree) provides benefits that even Typescript cannot.

Typescript's type checking is limited to the program's boundaries and often doesn't cover third-party libraries or runtime values. Typescript relies on static type analysis and type inference to catch type errors during development. Once the code is compiled to JS, all type information is erased, and the JS engine treats all values as dynamic and untyped.

Clojurescript uses type inference, runtime checks, immutable data, and dispatch mechanisms, optimized by its compiler, to achieve strong typing for the code running in the JS engine.
Parent comment was specifically commenting about recruiters, indicating there was human communication at some point, hence the term 'ghosting'.

Anyway it's much the same, since most competent HR software can autosend a 'no thanks' email when the system bulk-rejects applications.

Whether or not a person is involved, it's so little effort to send that close-of-conversation email that there's no reason not to. Meanwhile, the point of Tinder is that people choose when and how to engage. They're not the same.
Thank you. I agree that identity a social concept - I'm not sure there is a need for identities without a society.

However, I believe you're confusing "identity" and "identity document".

Identity document (which is fundamentally different from identity itself) is a social tool too, serving the purpose you've mentioned - consistently identifying someone to the society as a single person.

However, what I wanted to point out that it is absolutely not an identity, but rather a credential. That's not how it's typically colloquially called, but that's what it factually and effectively is. (Of course, please let me know if I'm wrong.)

Making a passport or some online account an actual identity is a true "identity theft" - an attempt of the modern world to take over human identities. And I really don't like this trend. I can't really put it well, but something about it is deeply unnerving to me, it's just so philosophically wrong. Hope you can see it.

Oh, and I specifically want to clarify: absolutely nothing wrong with governments issuing documents, of course! Just please, for the love of all that's still sane in the world, don't call such documents an "identity" - it is really not.

And that's the only reason I'm so anal about this - language shapes reality, and identities are already quite messed up, so I thought I'd try to point it out. Sure, I'm pissing against the wind here (and I'm bad at expressing my thoughts well), but I have to try.
Hot Take: Don't provide incident resolution estimates
Anything new or different is an uphill battle, but I have a hard time believing that anyone who has spent even the slightest amount of time with pip and conda, getting their python execution house of cards built.. just.. so.. is going to struggle with .net libraries and packages.

Edit: or do you mean the comparative lack of libraries?
It's ideological for him (he's a relatively well known entrepreneur and privacy advocate) but there are classes of people for whom getting an Aadhaar number is difficult for practical reasons: homeless individuals, nomadic and migrant workers, remote tribal communities, refugees, elderly people who were born before reliable record keeping in their region, and transgender people.

GPL 3.

Apple has restrictions about what software on the system you can modify as a user and how, in the name of security. GPL 3 is unfriendly to such restrictions. Whether what Apple is doing on the Mac specifically violates GPL is, well, a matter of debate that has never been tested in court, but Apple thinks there's at least some risk there, and that the risk isn't worth taking.

This is also why ZSH is now the default shell on the Mac. ZSH never switched to GPL V3, so it was either that, remaining on some god-awful old Bash version, or making their own.
But, could this be an interesting inflection point, where rich doctors and even richer executives of insurance companies are now starting to eat each other.
I think it’s a bit misguided in the pitch by too boldly trying to replace all buyer agents. A lot of what realtors offer, especially to first time buyers (~1/3), is emotional support and confidence/security for making the biggest financial decision in their lives. I don't believe an AI isn’t going to be able to do that. But if you’re a second+ time buyer, then I think it makes more sense.
Obelisks: A newly discovered viroid-like phylogenetic group in human microbiomes
I do have a different opinion to you, and it was formed during the pandemic when there were UBI-like circumstances for me and my friend group. Those who didn't need to work any more, became rather depressed, quite quickly, compared to those who kept working. And it changed my view on UBI. Maybe in your friend group that was different or your country didn't follow such an approach?

What's the difference between working on several games or focusing and finished one to you?

Would you work on these things enough to produce finished projects if you had UBI? For more than a while?

I think at some life stages, like parenthood or childhood, UBI makes sense. At others, when you are finding yourself - having a responsibility is useful.

Those locations, with their high concentrations ("high" being "greater than 0.01%-ish") of heavy metals, of which mazanite is but one of many, are the rare exception.

The IAEA report on Guarapari specifically says "it's weirdly high, brah":

>The exposure level due to monazite sand radiation in Areia Preta beach, Guarapari, is high. The activity concentration of 232Th in Areia Preta is higher than others beaches in world studied. The values of the absorbed dose rate in air and outdoor annual effective dose rate in Areia Preta beach are higher than the world averages due the content of 232Th. Areia Preta is also has higher background found in beaches in world.

This is one of the main reasons we started this company: transparency. With our service, you'll soon be able to see all communications and texts with the seller and listing agent.

I've been in your shoes (before I got my license). I always had doubts about what my agent was actually saying on my behalf, and what they were telling me about the seller's position. It often felt like the listing agent would magically respond only after I followed up. That's why we're committed to giving you direct insight into the negotiation process, so you're not left guessing about what's really happening behind the scenes.
I love this, but a couple of things I'd like to see in a tool like this:

* bind to all IPs attached to network interfaces (this seems to go through a very limited set of "test IPs")

* bind to port 0 to get a random non-privileged port (seems to default to 8080)

* generate a self-signed certificate and listen using https for encrypted traffic to avoid eavesdropping on a network that has untrusted parties too

* offer on-the-fly (de)compression with appropriate HTTP headers

* directory listing when pointed at a directory

(I am also aware this is a very old tool that was ported to py3 3 years ago, so don't really expect any of the above)
Many years ago I would have called that "mirroring", which is definitely not forking.
I feel like that was better than what we have now.

I nearly down-voted this question because every time funding and open source come up together, there will be a lot of arguments about it.

But to answer your question: Debian maintainers are not paid to maintain Debian. People volunteer to work on the Debian project because it's something they use, love, and believe in. Working on Debian is where they get their passion and joy, money comes from somewhere else.

A few maintainers few _might_ get paid by their employer to work on Debian packages that the employer has a vested interest in. As an example, there were some Canonical employees who were also Debian maintainers, but I don't know if this is still true today. I think there are a few companies that tend to hire established Debian developers, like Freexian.
In that era, many airlines were still operating much as they had in the regulated era - without a fully developed hub-and-spoke system. So service to a lot of smaller airports wasn't directly back to a hub; you got on at some point in a series of stops and they did very brief layovers to take on or debark passengers.

Bookkeeping Through Natural Language Interface
Does anyone know of a company working on natural language interfaces for bookkeeping. Seems like a really great idea for small businesses. It would have a great deal of context to automate a lot of the bookkeeping tasks. "hey, i have a few transactions i'd like to discuss with you". "what was this purchase for" -- "it was for 'x' thing from 'y' vendor. heres the receipt" then it codes it in the right chart of accounts. Is it a big regulatory hurdle or something? Or perhaps a reliability issue?
I hate to say "did you read your link" but i have no option since you are spamming that link everywhere.

Earlier this year, US software company Salesforce fired 700 workers – equivalent to approximately 1% of its global workforce. This is in addition to similar cuts that saw the company reduce its personnel by 10% last year. Similarly to Google, Salesforce hasn’t announced that these job losses are directly linked to AI.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai hasn’t explicitly announced these jobs will be replaced with AI technology outright

In 2020, MSN sacked dozens of journalists responsible for writing news stories displayed on the company’s homepage and has since been using AI software to create the content.

Turnitin laid off 15 people.

some article about MSN from 2020 or a no name company Turnitin laying of 15 ppl convinced you about AI taking jobs ? Yea you are def living in a different planet (maybe a planet in metaverse running on cryptocurrency).

These ppl are using AI as a cover for their businesses that need to lay ppl off.

Layoffs = BAD

Layoffs due to AI = Good

per markets and investors so thats what these CEOs are pretending.

Is emotional support worth $60k on a $2mm house? No, it isn't. Lots of realtors are trying to justify their worth but the reality is a large number of transactions still involve the buyers/sellers doing their own research + due diligence.
Companies grow in volume all the time. It’s a common way to vilify companies by ignoring their mix of good and bad and just focus on them doing the same volume of bad, despite doing more volume overall. I already suspected from the headline that’s exactly what they were doing, and they didn’t exceed my low expectations.
There is 0.5 mb of data per home in the US. Too much for a person to sift through, typically. We use LLMs to break that down into actionables for families via text message. The goal is to keep things digestable. People can understand if their unit is mis-zoned if you use it in this simple phrasing, but not what a "RM-3 District" is (common type of zoning in SF). The LLM + search abilities can explain a lot - this is how most people learn things about real estate, this process of googling phrases they don't know

Bankruptcy sounds good.
The 6% fee was paid by the sellers, not the buyers. Buyers didn't pay anything to the agents.

But even then, the buyer's agents would "refund" the buyer ~2% of the fee as a cashback incentive to use a specific agent.

but recently, the rule changed so the sellers are only required to pay the 3% fee to the seller's agent and buyers need to negotiate their own deal with the buyer's agent.

Currently, there are many brokerages competing on buyer's fees, dropping the fee to 1% or offering a flat-rate fee.

I'm very skeptical that a 1% buyer's agent fee (matching the existing players) would move the needle much.
Armed with this fact thinking about electronic devices. How the front of the signal travels and how suddenly the distance matters. Was blown away when I first thought about this.
If you aren't doing this for a living and getting paid for it, or having someone else do it, you should reconsider either A) providing the support or B) how you make money.

You may think it noble to "only take donations" just to pay the hosting cost, etc. but providing people support is a completely different thing. People are stupid, needy and inconsiderate of your time, feelings and experience.

If you don't want to run ads, great! But your time should be compensated fairly as well. You should be charging businesses for things, with a substantial cost for substantial work. Charging a business is not the same as charging an end user and you should not be averse to doing so.
Yes, targeting people who are oblivious to the blindingly obvious is a fantastic strategy for scammers.

I've said this to any of my engy friends who will listen. (not many) There's a small, yet tangible benefit to having a blank hardware slate to just riff on an idea when it strikes you, and having ample compute/storage/bandwidth to play with the idea. Or to send yourself down a spaghetti sysadmin nightmare you get to untangle. :)

It's been a consistent part of my career since 2007 and I'd hate to not have it. Homelab is great, but spinning up your own VMs, architectures, all of it... is a superset of that same satisfaction.

What are the best DevTools to use Llama
Using Llama can be complex due to its open source nature. So, taking advantage of its core competitive advantages (customization, deployment flexibility, data security, and model control and observability) can be challenging for most developers

However, there’s a nascent field of LLMOps players that can help abstract a lot of this complexity. What are some of the best developer tools you’re using to build applications on llama? What did you wish you could do with these dev tools that you can’t do today? How can meta help?
You can use an Apple Watch and it might eventually catch it or if you have pulse oximeter you can watch the pulse wave or you can just feel for it at your wrist, carotid neck, or left peck. You want a steady beat, you can tell if there is a pause.

Probably the best way, other than a medical Holter monitor that you wear and a cardiologist reviews, would be to buy a chest strap that can independently record and you can review the rhythm. Look up PVC, PAC EKG.

Some premature contractions are normal. Nothing to go off on a tangent if you catch one in blue moon.

All that said, you will probably just feel a small kick in the chest and the above is unnecessary. Some people tend to anxiously get into these things without reason but the above can help with gathering evidence for your doctor if you suspect a problem that doesn’t go away with stopping supplements or coffee or booze etc. as sometimes heart things can be transient and hard to catch out of the moment. Palpitations can be caused by A LOT of things, I’ve noticed them from coq10, but there are so many other possibilities that it’s not necessarily something you want to self hack if you really do have a problem.

I've heard people say realtors can point out issues like a leak in the ceiling, like you mentioned, but they're not inspectors and the good ones are quick to admit that they're just offering their untrained opinion. That's good, but I don't know if it's worth $10,000 when for $400 a bonded inspector will look at everything, crawl around in the spider zone, take pictures, and give me specific advice.

Part of me wonders if this parallels the venture capital approach. Many won't don't anything economically productive with the opportunity UBI affords them, but the ones that do may make the cost worthwhile.

Not sure if that's how it would actually pan out, of course, but I think it's plausible.
Seriously, every person needs the opportunity to really throw themselves into creating something for a year. I think so many people walk around thinking "if only I had time/money/space/whatever I could do something amazing".

It is really humbling to actually try it and realize how difficult making anything original is. You also realize that... you just might not be talented haha.
