Do you need more than 1 Gbps from your wired network to your internet connection?

Otherwise you may have 2.5G or 10G LAN, or even fiber inside home like some [1], and only have to use the slow 1G to hit the internet from that. (Another 1.5G of bandwidth is available over WiFi.)

Is that where the subplot of the chicken poster in that movie came from? I was just thinking about Ghost World as I was reading the comments above, thinking, "now that's a subject Hollywood doesn't want to touch anymore."
But whatabout being laid off, whatabout company bankruptcy, and whatabout becoming disabled? MY god, we're talking about at-will employment being a threat to a human's life insurance and salary, and you bring up NON at-will issues? Those are fundamentally different swords than an at-will employment one.

Is your manager going to disable your body? How is this even remotely close to a manager being able to fire you for whatever? You're just ignoring the whole "at-will".

I'm not talking about a "sword" of any possible negative thing happening to you. Why not bring up asteroids? Or another plague? Or just suddenly a REAL sword beheads me? THe "sword" is solely the at-will. Learn how metaphors work.

We were surprised, but it happens. Breast cancer can be very fast moving.
Unless they have family history, women aren't told to do annual exams until you hit 40.
The symptoms may not be too specific or startling even when it is into stages 3 & 4.

Worth reminding the women in your lives to check their family history and consider getting early exams either way. A lot of times it turns out women do have family history that went undiscussed until they ask mom, aunts, grandmothers, etc.

The other cancers that worry me are the slow moving imperceptible symptomless ones like pancreatic, liver, kidney, etc. Know a few people who around 50 discovered they had stage 2-3 cases due to unrelated scans they got from an accident injury. Some of these you have 5-10+ years window to treat it and live without impact to lifespan.. but most people don't catch it until stage 4 when they actually feel sick and it is too late.
Does it have citations? Real ones?
The New York Times is a glorified blogging platform. Not to long ago it was a Wordpress site.

I'm fully aware of how jaring it is for the median HN reader to hear this, but maintenance of a news website isn't the kind of skilled labour that commands a 250k a year paycheck anymore.

That's what the ULA is for. You can do whatever you want with ULA and you don't need NAT to have that if you only use GUA for WAN comms.
Yeah the media have been salivating for this week for months now. Exactly why I'm not planning to read or watch any news this week.

I'll vote tomorrow. That's what I can do. All the rest of it is out of my hands and I'm not going to spend any of my time or mental energy engaging in the manufactured drama sure to come.

Like my barber said at my last haircut: the only sure thing about this election is that an idiot will be our next president.
A lot of it is the case of bad science being popularized and then blindly built upon. This is exampled by the recent redaction of a huge amount of Alzheimer's papers which formed the nucleus of Alzheimer's research. Academia and science are often the largest purveyors of misinformation despite.
Not a problem for me. I am not a student anymore.

And I am not against LLM output being identifiable as such. (although I think an argument could be made based on the ruling about the monkey and the camera, which IIRC would say that the copyright belongs to whoever created the situation).

But after the

1. British Post Office scandal and

2. some really high profile cases of education institutions here in Norway abusing plagiarism detectors

I do not feel ready to trust neither

1. complex software (and especially not closed sourced software) to tell us who is cheating or not

2. nor any humans ability to use such a system in a sensible way

While cheating isn't usually criminal court, students also usually does not get a free defense.

For this reason I suggest cheating should have to be proven to have occurred, not "suggested to probably have occurred" by the same people who creates the not very reliable and extremely hard-to-reproduce LLMs.
If you're implying bias, consider that the news and editorial staff have been unionized since the 1940s.
It's particularly an awful request to pair with remote work.

"I should be able to work anywhere so long as it doesn't affect my performance..."

"Also don't judge me based on performance".

I think people need to be honest that WFH is as an argument is tightly integrated with merit.
No, what's reported is that the tech workers are asking for a "just cause" provision. This is a well-established legal concept that explicitly includes what GP posted. The reporting you're reading that fails to mention this happens to be from the New York Times. Can you guess why they don't mention this?
My understanding (and I am not a lawyer) is that under European data protection law the important thing is to obtain user consent for this; I think there's a very reasonable argument that informing the user that you collect telemetry and that if they wish to avoid this they should just build their own copy of the software (which provides a very easy to access opt out which should satisfy everyone).

Although EU privacy and technology regulation is generally pretty ok, this seems to be one of those cases where their lack of technical skill or knowledge really shines through (other examples include the endless cookie banners and https://www.euronews.com/next/2024/07/22/microsoft-says-eu-t...)
I think the paper is generally lib-left, but not necessarily progressive-left. I also see NPR as pretty centrist reporting.
I realize you're probably using this discussion about the Synapse Admins chat as a springboard to talk about encryption in general, but for anybody unfamiliar with Matrix rooms: encryption is optional, and wasn't a factor in the issue.

The Synapse Admins channel discussed by GP and GGP is not encrypted at all, and its messages are publicly accessible to anyone[1]. This means that various detection scripts could be run on messages at any time by the server, including when receiving them, and before propagating them to their database.

Don't assume we all trust what we read. Some of us like pointing out subterfuge or bias.
I'd go as far as saying it's a selling point, not just a compromise. Flexibility now can come at the cost of vertical scaling when it's EASIER to get funding and when you will probably have cash flow? Hell yeah. Compared to preemptively hyperscaling at an initial high cost, or using a possibly non-existent mythical framework that is somehow hyper performant, low cost, and as flexible as Rails etc... I know what I'd go with.
God forbid them dropping the click bait and use your much better headline, which would actually make me want to read the article. (We could maybe add "after shortening the work week")
I haven't been in school since LLMs became useful, but if I were to "cheat", I'd ask the LLM for a very fine grained outline, and then just translate the outline into my own words. Then ask the LLM to fill in my citations in AMA format.

And honestly, this still retains like 95% of the value of writing a paper, because I did write it, the words did flow through my brain. I just used the LLM to avoid facing a blank page.

I've also thought about asking LLMs to simulate a forum conversation about the Civil War (or whatever the topic may be), and include a wrong comment that can be countered by writing exactly what the assignment requires, because I seem to have no trouble writing an essay when duty calls and someone is wrong in the internet.

I experimented with OpenAL when Apple developed an implementation and it was unfortunately quite buggy. There were obvious threading hazards visible in the code. It was fine for toy/demo usage but it wasn't fit for production.

It looks like OpenAL on other platforms was used in various games though.
Somehow, before the wide availability of constantly connected Internet, software got made. Perhaps constantly collecting data on your users is not required after all.

It's generally difficult to make people move away from well-established platforms. Would Matrix be a walled garden if it was the leading communications platform?

Exporting all your account data is very easy with Discord, and you can even export entire servers with bots. Doesn't seem like they make it particularly difficult to move away from their platform.
Yes it would. Those track targets at a few feet, meaning all that shaking it's doing when it's "Pointing" would just wave the laser around in the general direction of the car that is much further away.

from 4-5 feet away, a person with 2 foot width ~= .5 radians or 28 degrees of pointing accuracy needed, and no tracking accuracy needed since it doesn't seem to follow targets well. (that second link the target is all of 2 feet away and 1 foot width).

100m away, an aproaching car has 2m width ~= 1/50 radians, or ~1 degree of pointing accuracy. More to keep on center of mass.

And a car at that range would be about 20 pixels wide. That doesn't inspire feelings of robust visual tracking the way "Big blue blob of paper that fills 20% of the view" would.
Same, closed the tab as soon as I saw it.
Italy is considering raising the capital gains tax on investments in digital assets from the current 26% to 42% in 2025. The Danish tax council proposes a principle of inventory taxation, taxing even unrealized gains.

> If you wanted to dial-down our incessant breeding without getting lynched, how would you do it?

Dialing it down is easy. Dialing it back up is impossible. The Chinese successfully dialed fertility down to 1.0 (officially, unofficially far lower), but try as they might they cannot make it move back up above that. China is doomed, even if that doom lies centuries off.

Other places didn't even have to try. Breeding has been dialed down far below the replacement rate, and many other nations are on the road to extinction. India has likely sunk below replacement fertility, or will in the next year or two. Only a few nations in central Africa have above-replacement fertility.

> There is a taboo against constraining reproduction. Legally, medically or whatever.

I've never personally seen evidence of such a taboo in the western hemisphere. Even in the United States. Instead, a few years ago, we had media talking head saying how the law should do something about the Octomom, that it "wasn't right". We live in the "shout your abortion" era. We're seeing the rise of the r/childfree culture. Constraining reproduction isn't taboo, it's celebrated. We live in a dying civilization hellbent on committing collective suicide.
it’s like a highly valuable serverless service with a negatively valued shopping store attached.
Because Archinstall is scary, even if you could train an elementary-schooler to use it. Manjaro just repackages the same thing with a harder-to-use and more confusing GUI which people are more willing to give a spin.
> Is that common in a lot of employment contracts?

It's a legal requirement in many parts of the world.
Yeah, I know. But then you have to make sure that your IDE is using the correct environment, that the notebook is using the correct environment, that the debugger is using the correct environment.

It's trivial to setup a venv, but sometimes it's just not worth it for me.
There's far less incentive to actually pay bribes or hurt specific people if there's no reliable proof of the vote. Even with people taking a photo of a ballot, one can still just strike that ballot and vote again after taking a photo. It's an immense risk that will likely not do you any good, because there's no way to actually know those people voted. The people you're paying and who voted for you would have likely voted for you anyways and you're just otherwise paying people to not bother voting at all or voting against you, while you face immense risk.

If the gangster is just going to hurt a random sampling of people anyways, you might as well just vote however you want to vote. They may or may not commit violence against you regardless of how you vote, its completely disconnected. If you know they can validate it, you're probably going to be less brave.

Just put yourself in those two situations. One where the ballot is absolutely secret, and one where it can be trivially looked up. Someone says you better vote for X or I'll hurt you. You really don't want to vote for X. In the first instance, do you vote for X? In the second, do you still vote for X knowing the thug will be able to know for sure how you voted?

I'm not suggesting nobody would do an illegal thing, obviously I acknowledge people would do illegal things. I'm just pointing to that as why taking a photo of a ballot is illegal in many areas.
Thank you! I collect variants of the Wii Shop song on various platforms, its one of my favorite songs from gaming and certainly my favorite dedicated-to-a-single-ui arrangements of music in software.

The Wii interface was a high watermark of style. Nintendo was clearly riding high aping aspects of Apple style in the 2000s but adding all the audio personality made it their own. Others were also invested in making something unique for the TV as an interface paradigm (Xbox 360 Blades, PS2/3 "orchestra" themes). Most of that has died away for practicality (and maybe accessibility) sake now, to flat boxes with minimal animation and no sound.

I looked it up, and all the Wii system audio was done by the same composer that did Pikmin, as well as dozens of other core (but secondary) Nintendo IP over the decades.
A ketogenic diet or a strict fasting regimen are two health strategies that are too frowned upon, still, and unfortunately so. Food (or whatever passes for "food" in modern times) has become such a crutch, and people have such potent emotional ties to it, that the sole idea of restricting one's diet will come across as negative from the get go. Nonetheless, there have been advancements in that regard, culturally, I believe.
This seems like a ridiculous attempt to bury your head in the sand. Is there any evidence anyone doesn't want frame pointers?
This is also Tech in NYC. The average salary ($190k) is low for that market, so they're asking for an easier work-life balance.

Why they have 600 people is a question for management, no?

I'd say that https://docs.banana-pi.org/en/OpenWRT-One/BananaPi_OpenWRT-O..., linked from the current page (https://openwrt.org/toh/openwrt/one), is more informative, and also loads faster, likely because it does (fewer / no) database hits.

I'm guessing it's more likely they are looking for investments and need to show some credible numbers.

I guess the question was how to fund progress on P2P specifically. Everything you listed most likely will not go anywhere near P2P. If it were so, it would be be unfunded in the first place.
Neat CSS looks very good! I can't remember if I gave it a proper try before.

Some time ago I trialed a bunch of classless CSS projects, paired with Hugo using the "classless-blog" theme, and these were my top picks, out of order:

- holiday: https://holidaycss.js.org/

- bamboo: https://rilwis.github.io/bamboo/demo/index.html

- fieber: https://fieber.hack.re/

- pico classless: https://picocss.com/docs/classless

- yorha: https://metakirby5.github.io/yorha/

- simple: https://simplecss.org/

- water: https://watercss.kognise.dev/

- bolt: https://boltcss.com/

- Lissom.CSS: https://lissomware.github.io/css/

All of them except yorha have light/dark modes, and all of them except yorha are IMO too light by default in light mode.
A neutral source from a third party news outlet. Do you think bias is a one-dimensional tug of war that cancels each other out when combined?
Our Thinkpads are definitely hotter; fans spin up routinely on the Ryzens but never does on the M1. Battery life is infinitely better on the M1.

The other thing I hate about the Thinkpads is that the build/screen/trackpad quality sucks in comparison to the Apple stuff. And for all the griping about Mac OS on this site, Windows is way worse - you can tell MS's focus is on linux in the cloud these days. All the ancillary stuff Apple is good at is underappreciated.
I don't think the project will be able to survive the decision to turn on telemetry by default.

There are many different distro's just like Manjaro.
Spectacular project by one gentleman. Been using it for a while now on my Swissmicros.

Yes, heaven forbid the people doing all the work and creating all the wealth actually use their leverage against the heirs collecting NYT dividends.
I don't know how American data protection laws work in this sense, I've only read up on the GDPR. I don't think American data protection laws are any more strict than their European counterparts though.

You don't need to share this information for Manjaro's software to do its work so it's not necessary for the product. If it's strictly necessary, they may need to inform EU users, but don't need consent.

The edges of the law are pretty sharp. There are a few reasons for which data may be collected without consent, and "I want to see what kind of computers visit my website" isn't one of them. Most of the time, you'll need explicit consent (can't hide consent in the EULA or T&C).

This goes for anything containing PII. And, for the record, an IP address is considered PII in many cases. Pseudonyms also don't protect you.

Even with consent, collecting PII like this also adds a ton of extra overhead (suddenly you need to encrypt your database, serve information/correction/deletion requests from the people you've collected data about, not being allowed to host such data in the US, etc.) to the point I wouldn't even bother collecting this info from EU users. Foreign companies break the GDPR all the time and very few of them ever get fined, but when it comes to communities trying to do the right thing, the GDPR rightfully succeeds in making data collection expensive.
>layoffs, while impactful, won't cripple your life

You lose your income in both cases, and I said I'd support severance/notice period for firings. I don't see how the two are materially different.
Python's implementation started in December 1989 as the successor to the ABC programming language, if I'm not mistaken...or something like that.

My dad was into music, so we had a decent set up with turntable, cassette, 8-track, and even reel to reel. I’m very thankful that crappy Bluetooth speakers were not a thing growing up. I had full speaker cabinets with sub, mid, tweeter for rich full sound. I also had lots of time where I was the only one at home and could push those speakers to release the full potential of songs.

Volume makes a difference to be sure, but full wall of sound vs loud earbuds are totally different experiences.
I got reintroduced to Quincy by The Weeknd and later by the great Francis Albert Sinatra a.k.a Frank Sinatra.
You don't get any meaningful stats from opt-in. Might as well not collect any data at all.
The only time I’ve had version issues running python code is that someone prior was referencing a deprecated library API or using an obscure package that shouldn’t see the light of day in a long lived project.

If you stick to the tried and true libs and change your function kwargs or method names when getting warnings, then I’ve had pretty rock steady reproducibility using even an un-versioned “python -m pip install -r requirements.txt” experience

I could also be a slob or just not working at the bleeding edge of python lib deployment tho so take it with a grain of salt.
It's actually above average for a HBR article! A good summary of the actual research article.
Our first implementation of brev.dev was built on top of kubernetes. We were also building a remote dev environment tool at the time. Treating dev environments like cattle seemed to be the wrong assumption. Turning kubernetes into a pet manager was a huge endeavor with long tail of issues. We rewrote our platform against vms and were immediately able to provide a better experience. Lots of tradeoffs but makes sense for dev envs.
The sugar being discussed is not natural sugars but refined processed sugars, that are absolutely poisons.
