Good!

In the pandemic there was a moment that AMZN started to lie about Prime deliveries at my site (a rural site 20 minutes from an unusually cosmopolitan city of 32k inhabitants), instead of 2 day delivery it would take maybe 10 days. It struck me as unfair competition because I'd making a buying decision based on that: if something is going to take 5 days I can easily fit it in my schedule to buy it at the store.

(Funny at that time I would see AMZN delivery vans in a nearby neighborhood most Sundays which must have been a form of vice signalling)

Soon for me Prime delivery became an official and reliable 5 days but it seemed to me that most of the other vendors (famous camera shops in NYC, paper manufacturer from Texas, etc.) were speeding their delivery up so Prime just didn't seem worth it to me.

Since then my AMZN ordering fell off from weekly to once every few months and my peeve for a while was that they kept harassing me to take free trials of Prime, I figured they'd quite harassing me if I took the free trial so I did.

For that month this summer I got 2 day delivery and had their truck coming up my driveway which I had mixed feeling about. I can't say the drivers are bad but I don't perceive the professionalism that I perceive from USPS, UPS and FedEx. I don't know how much of this is service improving in my neighborhood or if I am just getting priority service to win me back.
I don't think the parent poster is doing that, I think they are pointing out that when the ai products are faulty and result in the predictable deaths or suffering of people, someone out there might get angry enough to make bad choices.
Filling out the background check is still an application to own a gun, eg a "permit application". Just because the government wants to pretend that it isn't a permit (for second amendment reasons) doesn't mean it's not a permit.
I was not impressed. It simply uploads an image to ChatGPT and asked to describe the picture and expound on the details.
Nothing scary really. But a bunch of photos together, especially coupled with facial recognition, will yield a ton of metadata.
Hi there, I couldn't find any flights for your request. Please try again.

Cross checking with skyscanner there are indeed no flight in the morning I asked, but there are in the afternoon, maybe propose alternatives with nearby airports and/or timeslots when there are no flight meeting requirements?
No need. Stay away. Done!
Only if you're idiots.

Edit: Especially the kind that would post about it on the internet and snitch on themselves and attract undue attention from the ATF.

But yeah, some very small percentage of people are stupid and/or criminal. 99.99% of gun purchases in the US happen through an FFL with a background check and everything.
You are onto something here. If this topic interests you, there are worse places than https://www.unqualified-reservations.org/.

The writing style can be challenging at times, but it will answer some of your questions.
Indeed, the insurance companies deserve a ton of blame too. They rightly have death panels but use scare tactics to keep people away from gov health insurance that does the same. Still, theyre playing by the rules the gov came up with. Fee for service is a horrible healthcare strategy and insurance is forced into it.
No, he lived and claimed it fixed his problems.

He worked at a local electrical supplies store. He sold me my first soldering iron and taught me a bit about tinkering with analog electronics. I've lost contact with him after he left that job.
Just want to caution everyone to not jump to conclusions. Remember when Bob Lee was shot in San Francisco and everyone assumed it was because of how unsafe San Francisco is? And then it turned out to be another tech exec?

Beyond the one motive we can think of, this person (like any person) had other things going on in their life. We have no idea what the motive was until the killer is found.
Off-topic, but the US is, oddly, a bit of an outlier compared to some of our cousins on the other side of the Atlantic, where buying one can be an over the counter transaction. It's weird to be in a situation where the US is more restrictive in anything related to firearms, but I assume the European attitude is that it reduces nuisance when gun ownership is more regulated at the front end.
From the very beginning, Resend’s DX was superior and the messaging told me as a developer, “We understand you.” Over the years, that first impression has been proven true again and again. Congrats!
This case aside, I think generally in both the US and Canada it has been very safe for politically influential and high net worth individuals.

It's not like it would matter. You can buy a gun in a nearby state and carry it across state lines without much trouble. Most of the guns used in Chicago come from Indiana.
I find "ego" to be really interesting — on the one hand you want high-ego: confidence to try things, strong sense of mission — and on the other hand you want low-ego: selfless giving, able to let go of ideas that aren't working. Are those egos the same thing? I really don't know.
I'd like to hear more about this – both your reasoning against LangChain and suggestions for alternatives.

My experience with LangChain has been a mixed bag. On the one hand it has been very easy to get up and running quickly. Following their examples actually works!

Trying to go beyond the examples to mix and match concepts was a real challenge because of the abstractions. As with any young framework in a fast moving field the concepts and abstractions seem to be changing quickly, thus examples within the documentation show multiple ways to do something but it isn't clear which is the "right" way.
Suppressors don't just reduce the sound, but they reduce muzzle flash pretty dramatically. So it would help prevent someone from seeing the flash and knowing where the shot came from

That was Change HealthCare, a UnitedHealthCare subsidiary. The reaction to the news was similar.
There was even a recent high-profile Supreme Court case that eliminated the historically-common (the majority opinion was simply wrong about the history, just, straight-up factually not correct) practice of sharply limiting carry of firearms in towns and cities, let alone ownership. So no, guns aren't meaningfully illegal in NYC, besides the fact that they're extremely not-illegal outside the city and it's not like they frisk anyone on the way in. Like, right now, guns are kinda the least illegal in the city that they've been in more than a century.

I kinda doubt that. Suppressors aren't that hard to come by.
As someone who endured UHC for several years, I assure you there is no service quality to reduce.

> How do they still have that many customers if their service was so bad?

Because the people making the decision to purchase UHC services and using UHC services are two wildly different demographics.

I like the bit about the senior developer at the end :)
This entire line of thinking just seems to be essentially advocacy for a return to that exact system. "Do what we want or we'll go back to random murder".

I wonder if the original commenter would have put the same comment if the article were "man shoots his wife and her lover on discovery of adultery"
==occur in every day life and don’t violate people’s privacy==

Plenty of things happen in every day life, but are private (sex, break-ups, proposals, Dr. visits, etc.). I also noticed lots of these videos have people in the background. I doubt they were they notified that a video was being taken and uploaded publicly.

==I would just like to invite you to get out more.==

Maybe an alternative is to invite yourself to ask questions about why there are multiple comments with the same sentiment rather than reflexively telling them how to feel/act?
Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed both poems but remain partial to Brodsky's- probably a matter of taste and preference.

However, your conclusion (or at least the way I interpreted it) that the essence that drove the writing of Herbert's poem was also responsible for Polish political outcomes and Russia's current state seems a bit far-fetched and reductionist. And Brodsky's poem and quotes in the article do not imply a lack of courage/defiance to me. On the contrary, I read his poem to mean that despite being steadfast in your views, have room for gratitude.
Headers/footers are also positional.
Again and again we see the detractors complaining about Rustaceans being out of control, zealots... meanwhile the only once being unreasonable and making side-topics language war subthreads are the complainers.

What I’ve seen outside these subthreads is just people discussing Rust in the Kernel. No zealotry side-topics about how Rust should be used in place of C or C++ or other such advocacy side-topics.

It’s just embarrasing at this point.
We can agree that there are unfortunately a lot of not very bright "rw" types that engage in dumb anti-semitism. Not every criticism of Soros is that.

There are also a lot of simple-minded lefties engaging in anti-semitism, for obvious reasons.

This is not even remotely close to the "big issue" with UHG. There's probably no individual company that's responsible for more dysfunction in the American health system than UHG.

Not that I think it justifies murdering the CEO, but also such is the nature of systematic violation of massive numbers of people's sense of justice.

Do you really think that murdering the CEO is going to spin off massive reform of US Healthcare?

Chlorination isn't sufficient:

"maintaining germ-killing chlorine concentration is especially difficult for splash pads because the jets and sprays aerosolize chlorine, lowering the concentration.

Still, in most splash-pad linked outbreaks, standard chlorine concentrations aren't enough anyway."

And insurance companies want us to need more or pay more for health care, not less. Insurance is regulated and the companies can only hold on to a certain percentage of the premiums.

They would rather hold on to 20% of a huge number than 20% of a big number.
Getting the same results, here is my query: "Find me a flight for the 10th, 11th or the 12th from BKK to London, ideally heathrow."
> That's basically propaganda and half-admits it on the site

It is a simple page and I did not spot any inaccurate facts.

> There are almost no situations where you will not be buying your firearm from an FFL and you will have to fill out a permit.

I own 14 firearms and only 3 went through an FFL. Used firearms retain their value more than almost any other consumer good.
I think that when you are a company and sell luxury products in a capitalistic society, you try and do both at the same time, touching the irrational part of people, their values. They placed a bet on people who will like to think different in 10 years time - which is what new car model projects have to point at: "How do we shake the world of a rich person in 2034? Let's go in that direction.". This of course is my humble opinion, but I think it makes sense. They may as well just have failed to do that, I don't know.
Is history repeating itself in the evangelical church today? Instead of doctrines and creeds, has it become politics and power?

Bonhoeffer went against the churches of his day because the Jesus of the bible wasn't being followed. Today it's the "warrior" Jesus that's being touted, one who never existed. When politics and power take over any Christian entity, it always led to disaster.

A suppressor requires a federal tax stamp and (at least as of a few years ago) submission of fingerprints to the atf.

So is certainly not as easy as some states requirements for firearms.
I doubt anyone on HN would have any interest in normalizing that practice. But almost everyone who will be wronged by these systems are going to be up in arms.

I think we'll see a lot more of this sort of thing in the future. Your car killed my mother and the law said it was fine. Your insurance company denied my grandma's claim and she died in agony after paying premiums for 30 years.

Let's just hope that autonomous drones don't become trivially capable as weapons. At that point, everyone from the President and your local police chief to the chairman of Bank of America and the local ambulance chasing lawyer who sued the wrong guy's mom after she hit someone in a car accident would be in a very bad situation.

We should really try to get this under control before it gets out of hand.

They're called suppressors among gun nerds. But silencer is the standard term in American English.

The NYC carry permit is useless and designed that way so the city can lie to the courts and tell them people have the right to carry.

You can't carry in like 90% of Manhattan even with the permit. Even carrying in your own apartment is prohibited without an additional permit.

Concur. So much so I almost didn't submit it because of the "Ick" factor.
I advocate for the fairer distribution of wealth in society. Not only because it's fair but because it's better for everyone. There are many reasons for this including avoiding the alienation of labor and giving people dignity. All it takes is the ultra-wealthy to have slightly less wealth.

So why is wealth concentration bad for society apart from that? Because the ultimate form of wealth distribution is war and revolution. It's way the descendants of Rockefeller, the Medicis or Caesar don't own the world. Society eventually snaps and a lot of violence ensues. Eventually you end up with the French Revolution and heads end up on pikes or separated by guillotines.

One of the messages of Fight Club is that the rich and powerful cannot insulate themselves from the people they are oppressing. Your gardener, your driver, your chef, your security guard. Any of them is capable of taking matters into their hands and they will only be pushed so far.

You saw this play out in Japan with the reaction to Shinzo Abe's assassination a couple of years ago. While world leaders were outraged, the Japanese kinda got it. You can dig deep into this with the Unification Church, its influence on Japanese politics and, if you really want, how the Unification Church is tied to the CIA.

United Healthcare is quite literally killing people for profit. Just like the Sacklers and so many others. We've become completely desensitized to this. Private health insurance is completely inefficient (look at how much the US pays per-capita for health care vs any other developed nation and then compare our coverage). We could literally save millions of lives and cut costs by getting rid of these lecherous middlemen.

So I don't condone or justify violence like this. It's simply analysis to see that this kind of thing is going to continue to happen as material conditions worsen and wealth inequality rises. In his ~3 year tenure are United Healthcare CEO, Brian Thompson quite literally killed thousands of people yet there's so little outrage over that.
> I guess this is where 'travel agents' once used to shine.

Score one for self-service software "improving lives" and "increasing productivity" by allowing everyone to do the job that would previously be done much more efficiently by dedicated specialists :).

Still, reading that:

> Even for my own travel, there are like a dozen things I'm trying to optimize for. Time, money, seat, travel to/from airport (traffic, train cost, taxi pickup/dropoff ease), lounge quality, layover length or complexity vs cost calculus, loyalty program, airport navigation, airport amenities, flight hospitality quality etc. etc.

I envy your dedication. Halfway through reading this list, I already feel like going by a train instead. I can't imagine doing it myself without some specialized software; I'd lose my mind trying to do it with the normal travel/accommodation search and booking websites.

> Also: I want to be _absolutely_ certain the flight was booked -- that nothing was dropped, that no weird API failed to callback, that no letter was dropped from my name, that no silly email parser thought I meant London, Ontario, Canada.

Very much this. It's my main concern here, too. I need live feedback on every input at every step throughout the process, because I don't trust software to not screw this up.
> Another possible solution is to have "single-pass" splash pads that don't recirculate water.

Yeah, do that. Or do ozone and UV and filters and all the things. It is absolutely wild to me that this is in any way surprising to someone. It also did not need the weird descriptions of who has stuck poop where and how it ends up in the water - simply stating that kids inevitable poop in the water is kinda enough to understand the problem.
AI in health care, (and pretty much any sector that could kill someone), should be strictly regulated.
Taxing the previously subsidized usage of those roads is a start. See NYC's recent starter congestion tax. It still has a long way to go, but we can certainly improve the world slowly!
Something I’ve really become aware of recently is that rationality is sort of a bell curve. I think really successful people tend to be more biased than people in the middle of the curve.

I think this is because of optimization. Some people try to optimize for true beliefs, because it’s a defense mechanism, because of values, etc. whereas others try to optimize for useful beliefs, and contrarian beliefs can be more useful than perfectly accurate beliefs.
Oh the guy was most definitely an addict... but lets hope a passion for a nerdy hobby was part of his recovery.
I've encountered people who sincerely dislike talk of "values", and I think it's because they have seen them used as a flog rather than an inspiration. My guess is that there was a leader in their past who set values but didn't actually follow them. "We dig ditches" means "everybody but me digs ditches". It's hard to be both technically and morally capable, but I think that's what leadership requires.

So an approach might be to set only the values you can actually follow through on, and be clear when a value is aspirational. If you really do dig ditches (perhaps metaphorically, maybe by fixing deployment script bugs or something), then you can use it as a value.

To be clear: I'm definitely in favor of team values. Is there a way to make them achievable, but also grow them over time as you get better at them?
Multi-Scale Neural Audio Codec (SNAC)
In a TÜV inspection in Germany, for example, they know what kind of lamps came with your car, or what retrofit lamps are type-approved for your car, and will fail you if you have another kind. How does TÜV SÜD know what lamps are approved for your car? They are also the organization that does the type approvals.

They also will fail you for having polished or otherwise refurbished the lenses instead of replacing them. Basically they are gigantic hardasses about headlights.
Same here. With as many guns and victims of corporate greed that we have, I'm actually pretty shocked that we don't see this happening as routinely as, say, school shootings.

I wonder if we'd see slightly more ethical behavior from corporations if their C-level staff and board members had to routinely practice lock-down drills because they were getting offed once a week.
