In my experience a bar (not a pub/居酒屋, a バー) will frequently be a place that always has female staff working, where those staff will be wearing makeup and at least somewhat attractive clothes and expected to converse with customers. Not always - there are definitely bars focused on music or some hobby or particular kinds of drinks - but often enough that it's what I'd expect if you just said bar.

Fundamentally, I think codegen a pretty new space and lots of people are jumping in because they see the promise. Remains to be seen what the consolidation looks like. With the rate of advancement in LLMs and codegen in particular, I wouldn't be surprised to see even more tools than we do now...
Yes, Cheerleading is great exercise and the population would probably be healthier if everyone did it.
GP said highly reusable URLs. Roughly by definition, it's enduringly desirable. It is valuable in a way that say, Kmart dot com is not, since it has an open-ended set of uses. I chose the Kmart example because that domain is associated with a specific brand that's universally known to be irrelevant, which caps its value to whatever cash one could make "redirect to affiliate links" generate with random legacy traffic it gets. You wouldn't use it for a dating site, or even for a grocery delivery startup.

A 'temporarily reusable' tier might be something like "DVD dot com" or "rtx dot com" or something -- presumably there's a lot less money in DVD than there was 20 years ago, and presumably raytracing won't be an exciting high-end thing people are excited about 20 years from now. They're valuable and quite reusable at one point, but could become low-value by the time the company decides to unload them.
> the claim is that other iPhones in the area are triggering the reboot

Lack of motion? The information the other phones provide are proximity (it’s unusual for people to pile their phones together), that the radios still work and possibly a timeline, e.g. if the other phone says “I’ve been in a suspicious state for two days,” the first phone can change its priors.
Yeah what did they do with that FTX stadium? :D
Yes, plenty of people argue Trump is bad. But the phrase "orange man bad" suggests that criticisms of Trump's character are superficial, when in reality they are based on his behavior and statements.

With the caveat that I'm just a random non-expert on the internet who has nevertheless spent too much time reading scattered studies and scholarly opinion articles:

We don't need "more" evidence exactly, but rather a better model of how the effects of exercise map to a given individual's physiology. Exercise is good overall, but it's also considerably overhyped due to a procession of weak and narrowly-applicable results being misconstrued as adding up to a massive pile of benefits that applies to the average person. In reality, the average person does not get anywhere close to the sum of all the touted benefits; they get some constellation of some of the benefits, while other outcomes are flat or even regress [1].

So yes, "exercise is good" at a sufficient level of abstraction, but it's much harder to make the case that it's "good for [specific outcome] for [specific person]". Which is one reason that it's such an obnoxious trend for specific health complaints to be met with generic recommendations to exercise (or exercise more, or exercise differently).

Yes, but not for the same reason. IMHO the stupid part would be because they can't get a trademark on a completely generic term, so 1000 competitors and knockoffs would be diluting their brand equity and SEO.

yes, if you are holding millions or more in physical cash on your person, you're putting yourself at a significant safety risk.

that's why people don't do that very often, or if they do they walk around with armed guards until they aren't holding that cash anymore.
> very hard to introduce in a company

My experience as well. The lack of experienced Rust developers on staff, plus the need for build systems that compile to all target architectures, represents a real cost. That often doesn't surpass the benefits. Cheaper overall to just run the same old interpreted Python code, even if it's slower and uses more resources.
I already own the bundle on Steam, but I wish they would just sell the ROM files instead and tell you "just use it in any emulator."
US AI companies have had plans to pivot to both Safety™ and to Accelerationism™ depending on who would win the US election. The election results are in: Accelerationism™ won.

Jokes aside; All frontier model AI companies were closely associated with US big tech companies that were facing threats about breakup from the Democrats (OpenAI/Microsoft, Anthropic/AWS, and Google). They really didn't want AI anxiety to be one more reason they were disliked by Washington.

Surfside was almost a half-century old, so the building codes were surely different back then.

Also, building codes concern how to design and build a structure; they aren't going to help much with terrible maintenance.

OK, and what is it that ID checking would change about this?

I have been allowed to consider myself a colleague (at best, ordinarily: an associate) by many cats - you do not get to be an owner of a cat: that's an affectation!

I have also loved and been loved by many dogs too. I am not a dog OR cat person - I am AND. When me and the wife met in 2003, she had two dogs and I had two cats. They all lived out their days together happily.

I can't speak for horses and cows - limited personal exposure. I think that the relationship between humans and cats and dogs are rather different. I'm not too sure that cats really learn words in quite the same way that dogs do.

Cats are far less "domesticated" than dogs. Apart from real killers, when was the last time that a dog delivered a disembowelled small mammal/bird/reptile to you and requested your approval?

If you have a few 100 (or 1000) years to spend, why not start off with a population of lions (which do live in prides and are hence pack animals) and breed them down to domestic cat size and somehow domesticate them.

Now compare them with dogs.

I've never communicated with a cat using words - bloody daft! OK I do speak at them out of habit but I use high pitched sounds when "communicating" and never look them in the eye. I've rarely met a cat I could not convince to come on over and be stroked.

Getting most of those games on Steam literally gives you the ROMs. DRM free and usable in any emulator.

It's likely that at least for the Sega Genesis games Sega will throw out a new collection. The current one is pretty old and has issues, especially with latency.

If you're into DIY it's possible to make a cheaper, more efficient and quieter air purifier than many consumer models. From what I understand the problem is that most devices on the market are designed to be small, which reduces the filter area and that again requires a stronger (louder & less efficient) fan. Going DIY also means no dependence on a specific brand's replacement filters.

Then again that doesn't mean off-the-shelf products are bad, for a single room even quite cheap ones can do the job. And they don't look like a fan taped onto filters, so there's that.

I'm going to go ahead and assert that they can't tell. A Faraday cage is just a deliberate construction of a situation that happens all the time anyway. Hospitals have lots of shielded rooms in and around the radiology department. The basement of a steel building is basically the same. So is anywhere on a ship. My aged house has lath and plaster walls that can simultaneously survive a nuclear blast and also block Wi-Fi unless the amp's turned up to 11. There's no sensor in an iPhone that could tell that it's in a specially-constructed Faraday cage instead of a plain old dresser drawer in my bedroom.
they just made Global Entry free for kids under a certain age, I think, as long as their parent(s) have GE.

A Chinese maths 'prodigy' unravelled in cheating storm
Thank you for the article! I’m an American who’s lived on and off in Japan for around 10 years, currently in Tokyo working in game development. I related to many parts of your article, especially the later part about foreign devs working with Japanese executives.

My work environment aims to be multilingual (Japanese/English) but creative conversations are inevitably stymied by pauses for translation. Machine translation and AI is helpful but fails to capture nuance, and compounds normal, everyday communication woes. Japanese only speakers on our team feel lonely and left out despite best efforts. Japanese applicants are quite rare because of the stress of being in such an environment. It’s exhausting when people around you don’t share common cultural touchstones and every conversation is an unpredictable exchange.

On the other side, although many of my non-Japanese colleagues speak varying levels of Japanese, some have tried but are unable to (or don’t care to) improve further. Working proficiency is a high bar, and our “real work” is busy. You can get by in Tokyo with cursory Japanese, translation apps and online reservations. There is a large expat community, so you can ignore the “Japan for Japanese people” if you so choose.

I wonder how things will change as the native population continues to shrink over the years. Even in Tokyo, many businesses have responded to the tourist explosion by insulating themselves in various ways. There are recent incidents related to concentrated immigrant populations as well. I hope that we avoid the xenophobic trend that is sweeping the rest of the world but I do worry.
That’s not a problem at all. These applications have different concepts and the overlap hasn’t been formally defined yet. Should they choose to do so, they can easily connect up. I think it’s great that different applications can exist on the same base layer and explore concepts independently from each other.
Cheerleading is actually incredibly dangerous with the number of catastrophic spinal or brain injuries exceeding the combined totals of all other female sports. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/22/magazine/cheerleading-jef...
"An Oregon cyclist who was struck by an ambulance that made a right turn into him — fracturing his nose and leaving him with scrapes and other injuries across his body — has filed a $997,000 lawsuit against the ambulance provider after it scooped him up, drove him to the hospital and then billed him for the service, according to the suit."

$47K for current medical costs, $50K for expected future medical costs, and $900K for pain and suffering (long-term). So the provider may not be getting away with this.

Article does not say if cyclist has paid/will pay the ambulance bill.
Yes! And the way that Dems message the economy situation (which if you have ChatGPT summarize it all down to one sentence boils down to "The economy is GREAT and PERFECTLY BALANCED thanks to the President!") actually just pisses people off further because they think you aren't simply 'using a different metric in good faith' but actively gaslighting them. They're pointing at food prices being 20% higher than a few years ago, and their income being 5% higher, when many had no buffer to absorb such a price shock. It's no wonder the Harris ticket was wildly unpopular with voters concerned with prices.
> There’s still a skill floor required to accurately judge something.

Sure but it's not high at all.

Your typical sysadmin is doing a lot of Googling. If perplexity can tell you exactly what to do 90% of the time without error, that's a pretty good sysadmin.

Your typical programmer is doing a lot of googling and write-eval loops. If you are doing many flawless write-eval loops with the help of cline, cline is a pretty good programmer.

A lot of things AI is helping with also have good, easy to observe / generate, real-time metrics you can use to judge excellence.

Thanks for sharing – I definitely want to plays with Aider more. My knowledge of it is limited, but IIRC Aider doesn't pull in the right files to create context for itself like Codebuff does when making updates to your codebase.

Another aspect is simplicity. I think Aider and other CLI tools tend to err towards the side of configuration and more options, and we've been very intentional with Codebuff to avoid that. Not everyone values this, surely, but our users really appreciate how simple Codebuff is in comparison.
Aside from the crazy high bill, wouldn't a person whom this happened to get charged for medical coverage regardless of how it happened in every country without free healthcare?

I think most people equate "bicycles are dangerous" with "cycling is dangerous", which seems perfectly reasonable to me. What matters is whether you'll get hurt using a bicycle, not the pedantry of whether the bicycle itself is the problem.
Uh, yeah? Note that I'm not claiming people don't do any walking at all. But a lot of people that would easily do another walk around the house before settling down to watch TV will balk at exercise.
I haven't done any work with radium dialed clocks and/or watches... yet.
Don't forget the cost of repairing or replacing the bicycle. He should have added an additional $3k to make it an even million.

Faraday cages used by law enforcement, such as [1] aren't impervious to RF.

They provide enough attenuation to keep phones off the cellular network and prevent GNSS from working, but not enough to prevent communication with nearby devices via Bluetooth or wifi.

Well they do have a backup functionality, aptly named "iCloud Backup" but that's only on iOS. It's very frustrating because they are always in a rush to copy the worsts parts of iOS/iPhone for the Mac but they don't care much about bringing the good thing as long as it doesn't make them that much money.

I guess the rational is that if you have a Mac you also have an iPhone and your important data is already on your phone and thus already in a backup.

In theory they also have a file history for iCloud and you could restore files for up to 30 days, I think. I say in theory because the few times I have tried it, it was incredibly unhelpful.
But that's pretty much usual with Apple, the practice is actually very far for the theory/marketing.

Not that many people keep a big stack of physical cash under their pillow, and organisations that do keep cash are well-known robbery targets (e.g. banks, mints).

It's substantially harder to kidnap someone and force them to sell their business and then give the cash to you than it is to make them transfer their crypto. And realistically most people's wealth will be in a company or some shares, etc.
I don’t think it’s other iPhones that are sending a signal. Rather, it’s probably a security option that’s easy for most people to overlook in the Settings app. I have little knowledge about iPhone hacking, but I think in the same place where you can say “delete my data after 10 failed passcode attempts”, you can also force ask for a passcode to start using accessories again if it’s been a long time since it’s been unlocked. But I don’t think I have ever seen anything around rebooting. That sounds like a very nice feature though since rebooting apparently is good for making sure the phone clears spyware access.
I don't know if it works for everyone, but for me I tell myself "you HAVE to go for a 1 minute run, then just see how you feel" and every time I just end up doing a decent run anyway.
Hypothetically though, might it be good to have more industry domestically? As it stands today, we are so dependent on China specifically that we can't for instance, sanction them (one reasonable reaction to them messing with Taiwan, for instance, since nuking them wouldn't end well) without doing massive damage to our economy. I'm sure Trump won't have a nuanced and good plan for getting there, but I would like to start doing the work to promote having more industry here, even if it doesn't solve the problem of what to do with the masses who used to work in factories and coal mines. Honestly with our birth rates in the toilet, it's not a permanent problem. If we kept more wealth here maybe we could deploy some of this excess labor (while we even still have it, cuz again, population collapse is in progress) to build useful infrastructure.
I know you're joking, but actually, that is true. That original clock never got fixed. I damaged and lost enough parts that I'd have to fabricate too much for it to be worthwhile, and I have plenty of more interesting clocks to work on now.
