I don’t think anything scratches that itch. At least, I haven’t found anything that does. But you might like The Void Trilogy. Some also say the Polity series by Neal Asher fits, but it’s much more action-oriented. I thought the first book was okay but never looked into the rest, for whatever that’s worth.

Myself, I still have a couple of Culture books left unread. I own them but haven’t touched them, because I like knowing there’s more out there.
Thank you for acknowledging that it’s not possible to prove that Chinese cars are better. After all, you’ve already retracted your initial claim.

> Cool, China subsidizing EU's fight against climate change. Get the free money, save the climate and spend the money you saved on something that you want instead of forced.

Your mental gymnastics needs some training if you think that importing cheap cars instead of selling and exporting your own cars and therefore protecting your own industry and jobs is a better deal or mechanic for EUs fight against climate change.

Maybe you are unaware of „The WTO Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures disciplines the use of subsidies, and it regulates the actions countries can take to counter the effects of subsidies.“?

There's so much here that it's hard to comment.

Ultimately it seems like a story of a doctor's cult of personality, greed and buying loyalty, reckless malpractice, and a failure of multiple institutions to detect it or care about stopping it.
Yep, to be clear the thing that Chevron's overturn changed is that if a regulatory agency enforces something, you could take them to court (people seem to think this is the new thing), but they only had to assess whether the agency's interpretation of the statutes was reasonable.

Now, the court is allowed to just generate its own interpretation and use that instead.
Direnv is a great tool for this FWIW.

Do you really need a family doctor? I've never had one. Whenever I've had a non-emergency issue (in BC), I've just gone to a walk-in clinic where they've either helped me on the spot or referred me to a specialist. I can definitely see why having a family doctor might be a more pleasant overall experience, but as far as I understand in Canada it's practically a pipe dream.
I don't recall getting stickers at any clubs NYC, although it's been a few years since I lived there. It was always on the honor system at places like Output and events like Black Market.

Because when you look at the people in those surveys who “live paycheck to paycheck,” there’s an awful lot of them who say “after we pay for the mortgage and the car loans and groceries and max out our 401ks and contribute to the vacation fund, there’s nothing left.”
Just look at the airport luggage belt. Runs on reciprocal altruism. Most people are not good (and this was true even before CCTV, for the cynics :) )
This is exactly why I'm building Packj audit [1]. It detects malicious PyPI/NPM/Ruby/PHP/etc. dependencies using behavioral analysis. It uses static+dynamic code analysis to scan for indicators of compromise (e.g., spawning of shell, use of SSH keys, network communication, use of decode+eval, etc). It also checks for several metadata attributes to detect bad actors (e.g., typo squatting).

Ask HN: Do Crypto DAPP Apps have any security protections?
My elderly friend was recently scammed out of a large sum of money using DAPP apps inside Coinbase Wallet .

During the inventory I noticed the DAPP used was unsigned and untrusted. Coinbase Wallet doesn’t seem to provide any Trust validation. A warning dialog “be sure you trust this app they can steal your money” is the only protection .

Is there any way to secure, authenticate and trust DAPP Apps?

And what can we do to recover these funds? He lives on a fixed income.

(My friend has learned his lesson – yes we know this was a big mistake)
This equation is just wrong, as applies to both Putin and Orbán.

And (ironically) simply convinces people that those who are concerned about Putin's arguably fascist (as opposed to actual Nazi) inclinations are just hyperventilating and overreacting.

Thus, promoting his (and Orbán)'s longevity.
You're correct. The engines are actually quite orthogonal (symbolic vs numerical). There's the rare cross-over, but for the most part they are used to obtain different types of solution.

Mathematica can do both, but it's much stronger in symbolic than numerics. I wouldn't try to implement large-scale numerical models in Mathematica.
Interesting you appear to be getting downvoted for presumably accurately stating that China is the majority source of fake honey.

It was such a known problem that China had to start laundering its honey, I believe at one point Singapore suddenly became one of the world's latest exporters or "honey"
Those are way better links. Just knowing that the wallpaper on my 2nd screen is going to be fixed solves a pretty big bugbear for me.
This is certainly one of the reasons which I figured out (esp. during my personal productivity experiments), but on the other hand, not concentrating on "recording device" allows concentrating to the event more, leading to listening and seeing more what's happening on the stage.

Thanks for the paper, BTW.
To me it only makes strategic sense for Microsoft to enable its OS on more than just Intel
I haven’t used it, but it sounds like make’s —-assume-new flag does exactly what you want for the first part. It lets you rebuild everything that would result from a changed file, including all side effects, without needing to first update the file.
The ultralytics/ultralytics repo is pretty beginner friendly (kudos to them for that) but I surmise that it therefore draws a lot of beginner level coders who can't immediately tell that the AI generated "solutions" are bs.

Even back in the days of film I hated cameras. I was busy having fun like any 6 year old should and suddenly I'm called to stand still and smile for a camera. Or I'm busy looking at some scenery and people are trying to get a picture - you can find professional photographers who took a better picture if you need one for the wall, but most of the time nobody will look at that again (or best case they look at it one time to "review memories" - except they didn't have a memory to review has they never took the time to see the big picture only what is in the viewfinder)

I try to spend my time making memories, not taking photographs of others making memories.
There are some relevant tools for this, such as https://thanks.dev. While it doesn't work as a usage-based billing, at least it provides a way to fund all dependencies.

However, the issue is that most organizations relying on OSS are not tech companies. They mainly have no clue about OSS sustainability (e.g., airports and hospitals) and are unlikely to ever fund their own software supply chains, unfortunately. That's why there should be a data-driven index to address the global OSS supply chain, not only any particular ones.
While I don't have the FOMO, I concur. The last two concerts I went to were very unique. One had a great conductor, and the other one was a unique take on MJ's music overall.

I'll be very happy if there were high quality recordings to purchase, because I'd love to listen them over and over.

It's primarily due to the high net worth or high income of people here. Right-libertarian ideology is more than just a set of economic views, it's also a moral framework that places them at the top. It tells them they are intrinsically good for accruing as much wealth as possible. People seek out tribes that morally elevate themselves, and then retrofit made-up reasons.
The maintainer of oksh has an interesting comparison[1] between tcc and cproc as it comes to the performance of the generated code on OpenBSD. To be clear, cproc delivers. But tcc beats it, usually significantly, for reasons I can’t even begin to see how to investigate. It actually beats cparser/libfirm in most cases, which just makes no sense. (I ran the benchmarks myself on Linux some months ago; with the versions given in the original post, they reproduce.)

If I recall correctly, the symbolic toolbox data structures were not first-class citizens in the MATLAB world (where the fundamental data structure was the matrix).

I used the Symbolic Toolbox in grad school to try to simplify equation systems, but once I got the result, I had to rewrite it in real MATLAB code.
I am pretty sure, that “lightweight” and “family” are not easy to combine unless you’re family of three without the need for a luggage.

Those new electric cars need big batteries just to be somehow usable. Recently consumed 35 kWh for 65 miles ride on model Y with trailer in cold weather. That makes <150 miles total winter range with trailer with fully charged battery.
If I rephrase it as "the general population doesn't prioritize this problem over other issues" maybe we can agree. If you look at the top N topics in every election cycle, they should pretty much all be lower priority than this one fundamental issue with America. Peeps and Cheetos are not adequate solutions for food deserts. We need a comprehensive plan to snap out of this situation.
mise tasks (https://mise.jdx.dev/tasks/) are great!

IMO, mise tasks are much better than `just`. A few things that make mise superior:

— solid environment variables support

— can run tasks in parallel, has a watch task feature, support for skipping tasks,…

— mise supports file tasks (i.e., running shell scripts, as many comments are suggesting here - https://mise.jdx.dev/tasks/file-tasks.html)

— mise tasks are defined using `toml`, and not a custom syntax
This is nothing new, Brave has basically been a malware since launch.

If I remember correctly their first scandal was them injecting their own referral link during signups on cryptocurrency platforms.

I just can't understand why some people, especially some people on HackerNews, keep using it. Of you think Google is bad, Brave is the antichrist.
I like to have a photo, so my personal rule is sometime early on, if the light is good, snap four or five PHOTOS in quick succession, then phone goes away.

Then I've got a good photo or two, but I'm actually watching the show.
I think the reason electric aircraft are struggling is because of physics. Gasoline has far more gravimetric energy density than lithium ion batteries. And weight matters a lot more for flying than driving. One of the benefits of gasoline is you burn it off while flying, which makes the plane lighter, which increases the range. This is not a negligible effect - pilots are taught to take this into effect when planning flights. It's calculated by all commercial airlines.

Now on top of that add that it costs significantly more and you have what is, by at least the metric above, an objectively worse product for a higher price. Yes, there are other advantages but limited range is a much bigger deal for flying than it is for driving.
That's for a C Corp, check out S Corps.

I disagree, I think it's there job to help you reduce your taxes, if they're able to do so legally. I'd look for accountants who think so too.
I should have been more clear in my original comment.

I don't think that the conflict detection/resolution needs to live inside the CRDT data structure. Ultimately you might want to bake it in out of convenience, but it should be possible to handle separately (of course the resolution will ultimately need to be written to the CRDT, but this can be a regular edit).

Keeping the conflict resolution in the application layer allows for CRDT libraries that don't need to be aware of human-in-the-loop conflicts, and can serve a wider range of downstream needs. For example, a note app and a version control system might both be plain text, but conflict resolution needs to be handled completely differently. Another example would be collaborative offline vs. online use cases, as noted above, they are very different use cases.

The backstory. My friend is elderly and has typical elderly challenges with vision and using a computer. The scammers tricked him to transfer the funds to the scammers account instead of Coinbase. The DAPP app rendered the fake account balance in Coinbase Wallet. So while my friend thought he had just deposited into his own Coinbase (non-custodial) wallet, the funds were actually stolen and faked using the DAPP app. Every time he opened Coinbase wallet, the fake balance was shown.
Is it because they have to, or they choose to? There are a great many right wing outlets that call themselves impartial.

Although I understand that this is well-intentioned, or at least likely to be an attempt to comply with diversity guidelines, at best it's a case of terrifically poor optics, and at worse it's outright racism.
> the more patient visits and treatments a doctor bills to insurance, the more that doctor and the hospital earn. Weiner described this system, which is common in American medicine, as “eat what you kill.”

This is often what people are scared about with US doctors, that the financial incentive will have them over-prescribe and tell you that treatments are needed that aren't.

Crazy Story!

Edit: I think one conclusion to take away, always get a second opinion, don't rely on just a single doctor/hospital's diagnosis.
Having heard that, I'd caveat that with "Sometimes, those who have already done, teach."

Which then boils down to the student caution to ascertain whether the advice a solid professor is giving you has changed, since they last successfully did.

And also the observation that the number of students who are likely to be more successful ignoring education is pretty small: most people aren't that brilliant and will get better mileage out of learning and...

$80k is by no means “privilege”. Bear in mind, we’re talking about the Canadian dollar that doesn’t stretch nearly as much as USD.

Also with the cost of living shooting up so much - C$80k of today is probably as much as $50-60k of 2019.
Key quote: "All that is to say, losing Tartus would be catastrophic for Russian power projection in Southern Europe and North Africa. Realistically, the only way for the Kremlin to replace the vital shore infrastructure in Tartus is to regain access to the Med via the Bosporus.
But there’s almost no prospect of that happening while the war in Ukraine still rages. Russian president Vladimir Putin may soon face an unhappy choice: keep fighting in Ukraine but lose influence in the Mediterranean region; or sue for peace in Ukraine and open up access from the Black Sea to the Med."

Not clear to me that access to the Mediterranean is worth that much. But that's the argument.
I generally take a photo of the event's poster, after the event. That photo reminds me to look if there are any official (video) recordings of the event that I just attended. A good (audio) recording is equally nice, if it was a concert.
Most headlines nowadays turn me off. Why not say it's a good thing and as always there are few that don't like it?
Maybe the devil is in the details here, but it seems rather obvious why intelligence organizations would want to recruit from diverse backgrounds.
I Built a Free Tool to Help Tenants Push Back on Landlord Issues
A few months ago, my landlord held onto my security deposit for over two months. I sent a demand letter, and the next day, the money was in my account. That got me thinking: why isn’t there an easy way for tenants to deal with stuff like this?

So, I built a free tool that helps tenants push back on unfair fees, security deposit disputes, and other landlord issues. It’s based on state-specific legal knowledge and your lease terms, and it generates demand letters to make the process straightforward. You can even pick the tone—polite or firm.

It’s been cool to see results. Someone in NY used it to get their $4,000 security deposit back from their landlord recently.

It’s free to use, and I’d love feedback to keep improving it and evolve it into more of a business rather than just a tool: DefendMyRent.com.

Mathematica is freely available on the Raspberry Pi[1] and most universities have site-wide licenses. The "Home & Hobby" licenses aren't even that expensive, only $195/year for a subscription or $390 for a perpetual license (and only $175 for renewals)[2]. And honestly, for those who are interested in tinkering but can't afford those prices, cracked copies are neither hard to find nor hard to install.

Personally I am quite fond of Mathematica (well, the "Wolfram Language") and I'm happy to pay for the hobby license price. Not only do I think I'm getting my money's worth, but I think supporting mathematical software is a "good cause" to put money behind. Moreover, I've never understood why people like amateur photographers will often spend more on tools like Adobe CC than many programmers (amateur or otherwise) spend on their tools period. Or why someone would spend $20-40+/month on various subscription services only to balk at $200-$400 licensing fees. Then again, I spend more time in Mathematica than I do in almost any other program installed on my computer.

However there is still an important place for (F)OSS mathematical software. As comprehensive as Mathematica usually is, it still has some significant shortcomings in advanced mathematics. In particular, I have a hard time believing it will ever fulfill those more "niche" areas of mathematics for two reasons. First and foremost, the ROI drops off a cliff for more advanced and/or esoteric fields. Second of all, the Wolfram Language already has 6000+ built in functions, so adding hundreds more to comprehensively support of something like Group Theory just doesn't make sense. Sure, they could be supported via packages, but that comes at the cost of performance (no first class support in the kernel) and usability (users have to go out of their way to use it).

Therefore, (F)OSS software like GAP, M2, and PARI/GP serve an important role in "rounding out" the gaps in the wolfram language. In my case, I contribute to FOSS projects an equal amount to whatever I spend on my Mathematica license. Or when monetary contributions to a project are not so straight forward, I try and contribute my time and skills improving them.

To be frank, I don't care much for projects trying to replicate Mathematica's functionality. Of course people are still going to develop and improve them, which at the very least puts some pressure on Wolfram Research to constantly improve basic functionality, but it will probably take one or two decades for said projects to replicate what Mathematica/WL is today.

Before that they were soliciting crypto donations on behalf of creators without their knowledge or consent.

I still think it's much more efficient to let your teams vote for 8 or 10 libraries, once or twice a year, send N dollars for every vote over <enough to make it worthwhile to track down donation information and cut a check> and carry over remainders from one vote to the next, so that everything below the cutoff gets some love every couple of intervals.

A lot of people will vote for the obvious ones, a few people will vote for the underdogs and it'll come out in the wash.

That also fights the common complaint here of people gaming the system by splitting up their libraries too much. Sindre, for instance, would get some money for p-limit, p-retry, and maybe p-queue, but not much else for his astounding menagerie of micro-libraries.
Solar is really popular in Africa, but on a very small scale, just small panels to charge devices.

The problem is that if you want to use solar for something more serious, you get hit with an impenetrable wall. You can't use solar for something like air conditioning or cooking without having a grid-tie inverter (expensive) and a grid. And completely stand-alone systems with batteries are completely out of the question, for now.
I did that, sort of, pre-pandemic.

IBM did a restructuring of my division in mid-2018 and I got RIFed. I pulled UI for 6 months and then lived off of my savings for a while - I looked at it as a mini-retirement. it was really nice, and made me appreciate work more (I'd been getting burnout from the IBM job).

when it was time to look for work again, the pandemic hit and I had a few tough months. I onboarded at a place mid-2020 and am still employed at the same place to this day. cant say I feel valued by the employer but I enjoy my job, it's a bit less stressful than my previous job.

The article mentions a housing shortage. It’s very important to differentiate between a “shortage” and “scarcity” Thomas Sowell explains really well how regulation such as rent control has lead to dramatically reduced supply of affordable housing.

Of course the elephant in the room is that there may be no price at which many “homeless” would be willing to pay for housing. They may choose to spend absolutely all available money on drugs, housing be damned.
