I don’t think re-educating the affected workers will work for everyone. We need to acknowledge everyone is not used to adapting to continuously changing technology as a frontend developer is. Also everyone has a threshold of complexity beyond which they may find it difficult to comprehend something. It is not a handicap it is just the normal state of things. As humans we need to accept our strengths and weakness.

Just tested on Kagi, and it’s catching a similar set of images.

I massively rate Kagi, but this is way less than ideal.

But wouldn't using a connection pool solve this problem of "stressing out the database"? I assumed a single connection from the pool would be considered "occupied" until we hear back from the database.

Or are you saying that processing lots of requests/tasks in Rails while waiting for the database would quickly eat up all the CPU? It seems like a good thing - "resource utilization" = servers should do things whenever possible rather than just waiting. Although now that I think about it you'd only want maximum resource utilization if your database is on a separate server.
I so much wish stdint would have gone with the more sane u64 i64, u32, i32, etc I redefine them for my personal projects but stick to the standard on other projects.

Are you familiar with the concept of noblesse oblige?

Further does this include all taxes or just income taxes which are only a portion of revenues used to make less well off people look like moochers.

For instance, in the US, there’s social security and Medicare taxes -- and payroll tax, the social security and Medicare tax contributed on behalf of employees by employers. Renters also pay their landlords property taxes. Sales taxes, tariffs, etc are all born by end users.
The "Jobs Bank" described above is exactly equivalent to what you're proposing (which is not UBI because it's not universal, by the way).
I do hope you mean bitwise "addition" and "subtraction" -- (c => c&0xdf) or (c => c|0x20)
Attach a lien to the property. If it’s a small business, the government’s share of the step up is put against the business. There will still be shenanigans. But it avoids forcing liquidation wile preserving the state’s interest.

Would you care to share what you do instead? For search in particular, the g-suite, etc. are not such a big deal. I'm really hoping for something other than use duck duck go / bing / etc. because AFAIK they all serve advertisement funded trash and I've yet to hear a really compelling alternative, tho I've been too lazy/busy to try Kagi.
It's a bit of an odd article because the second part kind of shows why dicts aren't a problem. You basically just need to apply the most old school of OO doctrines: "recipients of messages are responsible for how they interpret them", and that's exactly what the author advocates when he talks about treating dict data akin to data over the wire, which is correct.

If you're programming correctly and take encapsulation seriously, then whatever shape incoming data in a dict has isn't something you should take an issue with, you just need to make sure if what you care about is in it (or not) and handle that within your own context appropriately.

Rich Hickey once gave a talk about something like this talking about maps in Clojure and I think he made the analogy of the DHL truck stopping at your door. You don't care what every package in the truck is, you just care if your package is in there. If some other data changes, which data always does, that's not your concern, you should be decoupled from it. It's just equivalent to how we program networked applications. There are no global semantics or guarantees on the state of data, there can't be because the world isn't in sync or static, there is no global state. There's actually another Hickey-ism along the lines of "program on the inside the same way you program on the outside". Dicts are cool, just make sure that you're always responsible for what you do with one.
Trade is war, the United States has been under siege for decades, and the walls slowly crumble. Why shoot at soldiers when you can just make the enemies' jobs all disappear, make their country unable to manufacture steel, and deprive them of key technologies? You'll trounce them and they'll thank you for it and ask for more.

It's a loss all around, just about every way you can imagine it. The people who are complaining on r/antiwork about their Starbucks job can't pay their $3000/month rent... they work that job because all the real jobs left for Asia back in the late 1980s. Was the international trade good for them?
Quite interesting interview in this piece:

>CNN sat down with Hoback, prior to Todd’s denial, to discuss why the director is so confident in his theory, whether he’s worried about being sued, and that big dramatic confrontation at the end of the film.
AI slop (or convincing lies) is not distinguishable from genuine, human-generated content. Machines definitely can't do it, and humans often can't either. That problem with get worse.
And where did you read this? The orders are secret. The accusations are secret. The lawyers involved are secret. I read them when they were published and the only name in there is Alexandre de Moraes.

And I certainly did not witness anything you speak of. I don't remember reading any news of any "doxxing campaign" either. As far as I know, these are just politician accounts.

Someone here on HN once asked who the people named in the court orders were. I found nothing related to what you said when I looked them up on the internet.

Worst guy in there seems to be the guy who told Bolsonaro to order the military to close down the supreme court. Inciting the armed forces against the other powers is a crime but censoring him for it is still unconstitutional. They even censored their wives and daughters.

I just don’t understand this opinion.

Backend (and frontend!) can be use stable technology choices if you want to. There are also plenty of bleeding edge libraries/frameworks/languages that come out every week.

As an example, how do you want to deploy your backend? VPS, severless, Kubernetes? What database? Which language? Which libraries?

There are boring stable answers to the above for backend, just like there are boring stable answers to frontend.

Really, I think you’ve just found those boring stable options for the backend and you haven’t done that for the frontend yet.

React has been out for more than a decade and it’s the dominant way of building UIs. And there are pros and cons to this with 1000 solutions, but, really, plain React will work for most things you want to do.
We need a slim p2p social network swarm protocol.

If we could subscribe and suggest content along our interest graphs, we would control the algorithm and could prune slop with ease.

It'd be incredibly awesome if news, forums, and social media worked like BitTorrent.
The first sentence of the wiki says that before that, she wanted to be a soprano opera singer.

Soprano is very high pitched, so she would have had said high pitched voice before hand. The pitch of a voice is not super related to lung capacity, so much as mouth/vocal chord/throat shape
From CNN story:

>In a statement to CNN, Todd denied that the post was supposed to be written by Satoshi, calling it “a coincidence.”

>“I was simply pointing out a minor correction to what Satoshi wrote,” Todd told CNN in a statement. “Note that the bitcointalk forum has the ability to edit posts, so it doesn’t even make that much sense that Satoshi would follow up with another message rather than just editing the original to correct the mistake.”

This is something people love to rage about, yet it's not one with an obvious fix.

In Canada, assets are deemed to have been disposed of upon death (or gifting) so the estate pays capital gains taxes on the accrued profit. There are a few exemptions for political reasons, e.g. to allow farmers to pass appreciated farm property to their children tax free, but they're sufficiently limited that they don't cost very much.

Seems like an obvious fix to me -- when the cost basis is stepped up, taxes are due -- and in practice it seems to work pretty well.
There isn't, because human trust can barely scale past 100 people, much less the entire internet. I think humans will recede into the tribes we were always built to understand and be a part of. Private group chats are far more popular and ubiquitous than we give them credit for, and I only see that accelerating in this climate.

Oh I thought you were talking about US when you went on to say "I'd like to think that this kind of things do not happen here. But every time I've thought along those lines, I've been mistaken. It's just happens at a different scale."

It is pretty unusual here for wageys to be targets of hits.
It’s also indispensable if you have pets. Cat and dog hair fills the robot up fast.
“Content” is the advertising term for whatever fills the space between the ads.
If it was Satoshi making a correction, he could’ve just edited his original post because bitcointalk allowed for post edits even back then.
Human curation is possible in an open system, but when you have a few large silos this algorithmic efficiency is put to use and we can observe the result. But I agree and hope people will lose interest and stop consuming trash. The gamble on the other side is that people will get used to poorer and poorer algo served content and the industry will continue squeeze profit out by any means necessary and indefinately. By looking at the history of cable television it appears there is a breaking point.
It's definitely Hal Finney. The fact that Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto lived a few minutes away from him, and Hal was a marathon runner who could have easily seen his mailbox, and also that Satoshi disappeared when Hal's ALS became overwhelming, is all the evidence you need.
Wasn't Reddit run by the CIA at this point?
Private chats which effectively become echo chambers further dividing an already divided society is what I foresee.
I think so too, though I usually don't have a broad "everything is political" position so I'm usually on the opposite end of this type of conversation haha. But I see what you mean, it wasn't anything related to partisan politics or culture wars.
Have you read Farnsworth's Classical English Style? He talks about Saxon vs. Latinate word choice (and invokes Churchill frequently!), which makes me think you've either read it already or would enjoy it if you haven't yet :)
In my experience it's hard to justify companies doing things that don't have a clear reason. The reason doesn't even have to be a benefit, after all companies are made up of people many of whom want to do these things.

What I'm surprised with in this list is that with 4x the donations the change could be summarised as "more of the same". Don't get me wrong, another fellow would increase project bandwidth by 50%, an executive director might be transformational in management/logistics, but these are both just better versions of what the Django Foundation already does.

If I were the project, I'd be pitching specifics:

- A new fund targeting getting more of $group into Django development

- An executive director with a remit to run this specific new event

- Another Django fellow focusing on $project

Then, when a champion in a company is trying to justify a donation, it's no longer "can we give some money for no particular reason", it's now "if we send X, Y will happen". Maybe a company wants to market themselves as helping diversity efforts and they can do this better if they're donating money to the first or second example, maybe they're interested in a particular project, but I still believe there doesn't always need to be an ROI, just that having a reason helps individuals in companies justify it.

This is how academia, the arts, and other charities seem to work (as an external observer). Large donations are tied to specific projects, funds with particular mandates, prizes with a goal, etc.
I think out of the major web frameworks, Laravel might be the most financially successful? They raised millions of dollars recently.

You specifically state that you want AI to postulate

"The theory is that God created/creates everything and these pictures are proof."

One of the images being you in a collared shirt.

I genuinely belive I am not misstating your test, but please tell to correct me on how given three images: your temple, your shirt and you on an inflatable pool toy somehow constitute proof of the existence of god.
I like Ruby a lot, but I find it large codebases get convoluted since it doesn't have a proper typing system. RBS doesn't count lol. Even RubyMine by JetBrains gets confused with classes and such in a "large" codebase I wrote (50k lines give or take). And that's with doing things the proper Ruby/Rails way, with full RBS files for everything.
Congress could impeach him until 2022 - and didn't. From 2016 to 2022, Brazil was governed by right-wing governments.

Oh, who nominated this Justice, was a right-wing president as well.
The reference to Piketty with its implication that Sarofim represents some hidden class of billionaires is particularly annoying. He was prolific in Houston's social business scene for decades and married the Brown heiress, who was similarly known (along with her father). He threw some of the best Christmas parties and wasn't exactly a recluse, so I see relatively little reason to connect him to that idea. His son Christopher is very similar. He was worth upwards of the author's estimate but a generally good guy who doesn't really deserve the "evil billionaire" label which the author quietly assigns.
100% this. This reminds me of what my SO says: if you have to work, you are not in the upper class. I don't think I agree with this statement fully (I personally think that top decile by income is already upper class), but I feel like I'm becoming more open to re-evaluating my opinion...
I was going to say that. Pretty crazy! The seatbelt looks more like a robotic arm. Yet at the back there is a curve and a back window. It's really a hybrid car-building. Wondering what the black bar at the top is about...
Much like Elon Musk couldn't liquidate his stocks and wind up a billionaire, my bitcoin is nowhere nearly worth $70B. I won't tell you my estimate, but I will say that it's quite modest by comparison.

Do you think the world really has $70B in cash to blow on bitcoin right now? Big players mine the stuff, they don't buy it.
Probably anyone that goes to such lengths to have kids intends to raise them well. The kid will have above average odds of being raised by people that will love him/her.
This is why Google took down its cached results. It's going to horde pre-LLM internet data. Perhaps sell it but I doubt it.

Our best bet is to have scraped all that data, and give you a temporal parameter to search, like:

Does, but also does seem to me that a lot of parties were in for potential to disrupt top of the food chain of car industry, and now that it became clear that it does the opposite of that, they're not interested in it anymore.
I'm actually a bit excited by this problem, believe it or not.

Like what solutions are we gonna come up with to solve it? Is the human side of the internet (however we create it) going to become more pure? Perhaps in discovering ways to avoid low quality AI content, we'll also find ways to escape from destructive recommender systems and monetized advertisements as well. Strange as it sounds, solving this problem could lead us to a much brighter future!
Im not sure all private chat groups are really private. Maybe some are but can’t help thinking the industry isn’t at least running AI on private chats and summarize what people are talking about.
Have you ever encountered the extremely large contingent of HN commenters who claim to prefer that Google interpret their search literally, exactly, and at face value? Wouldn't they be howling mad if Google silently adjusted the core concept of your search from "baby peacock" to "peafowl chick"?

In any case the web and Google's index of it is crowdsourced. If the web associates this image and that phrase, what are they supposed to do about it?

That does not feel like burning the money, more like propping up the private sector (naively, government's deficit is going to be private sector's surplus if you don't actually reduce the amount of money in circulation).
At some level there is always a private mode. Think family and friends. Do you not have any issue with everything being public? I think the parent suggests we’re not made for very large groups and I kind of agree. I can’t name 100 people I know or known in my life. Maybe I can (barely) but with great effort.
> Python doesn't do typing well

Golang does typing, but JSONs are PITA to handle.

Try parsing something like `[{"a': 1, "b": "c", "d": [], "e": {}}, null, 1, "2"]` in go.

Types are a bless as well as a curse.
I don’t think “better spam detection technology” can help out of this even in theory. The whole point of LLMs is that, by construction, they produce content which is statistically indistinguishable from human text. Almost by definition, any statistical test to distinguish LLM text from human text could be turned around to make better LLMs.
He treats computation as if it is a fundamental law of nature, but I don’t find that assertion compelling. I’m also more of a pilot wave theory advocate, which although incomplete, cuts off several diseased (renormalized) branches of quantum physics.

People can prefer whatever they want, it doesn't mean a half pixel blur is going to be visible on 35mm film where edges are multiple pixel gradients.

Len Sassaman is already very widely suspected to be Satoshi. Probably second only to Hal Finney. That ship has sailed.

Just finished watching the doc on HBO.

The key piece of evidence seems to be this comment from Peter Todd: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2181.msg28739#msg287...

It stands out to the producers because:
1) Peter makes it just after joining the form, so he is unlikely to have detailed knowledge of bitcoin.
2) He seems to be finishing Satoshi's thought, as though he returned to an earlier post forgetting which account he was signed into.
3) The post happens just before Satoshi disappears and Peter leaves for a few years.

The doc also features many scenes with Peter and Adam Back where their eyes kind of shift around and they laugh awkwardly when asked about certain things. Since the doc it seems that Peter has taken to twitter to say he was mislead about the purpose of the interviews.

I've always kind of thought that Satoshi was probably one person who built it all in isolation, and I never played much attention to theories that Satoshi was actually multiple people. After watching the doc it does seem like Adam and Peter know a good deal more than they are letting on, even if they aren't behind it all, it seems likely that they have some idea who it was.
"Where is the money, Lebowski!? Or should I say Satoshi!"
Is there anything factually wrong with the article?

I read it / fact checked and it wasn’t obviously inaccurate.
dicts are OK, because at least they do have a `key` and it does mean something.

un-annotated tuples and too many func params are cancer.
NamedTuples are great, but they let you do too much with the objects. You probably don't want users of your GitHubRepo class to be able to do things like `repo[1]` or `for foo in repo`. Dataclasses have more constrained semantics, so I reach for them by default. In my ideal world they would default to frozen=True, kw_only=True, slots=True, but even without those they're a big improvement.
