Are we reading different comments? Because the only reason he had problems is because he didn't do anything standard. He futzed with his backups instead of letting the OS take care of it, and that's the only reason he had any trouble.

If you let Time Machine doing it's thing, restoring from a backup is fast and painless.

This, unfortunately, seems like the most plausible explanation. "President" Musk is dicking with the system, like S3XY. Remember that he's gaining control and also believes reality is a simulation, and keeps a Vajra on his night stand. I see him as a future Ashoka, who, waking up to the harm he has manifested goes all in on the Triple Gems.

sort of ... other than the amazing revolutions in medicines, therapies and support that have happened in the last 20 years. The issue is education about preventative care, diet, and exercise to prevent negative health events.

Eat less (alot less), Eat healty (alot healthier), Move more (Pick weight up, put it down.. then go walk for a while)

PBS is the problem - everyone should know healthcare is first and foremost their problem. Most healthy lifestyle people dont need healthcare.

When they do, we (the US) have an amazing system and amazing access to therapies to help them deal with the issues as they arise.

It depends on the level. The big early gains to get to let's say 2200+ were basically exclusively tactics. You really have to get your board vision to quite a decent level before the other parts of learning really start kicking in, and that's going to take thousands of hours of tactics. An important part of tactics is to ensure you actually work out the entire line - instead of just playing the obvious tactical idea, like Bxh7 or whatever, and going from there.

This was paired with 'analyzing' games of classical master (Alekhine, Capablanca, and so on) and then comparing my analysis against master analysis in plain English. Older books like Alekhine's best games books, or the various master vs amateur books (Euwe's is amazing) are a great resource here. Chessbase also now has a feature 'replay training' built in that would be really good for this. Load up a game, click on replay training, and you can basically play guess-the-move with automatic feedback in terms of how your move compares to the game as played (without revealing that move), as well as the top computer move.

It's also important to start appreciating typical piece repositioning ideas - for instance the rook lift is something that isn't very intuitive at first but radically reshapes many positions. If that rook on a1 heads to a3 and then on over to g3, a quiet Italian position can go from uninspiring to an unstoppable kingside attack really fast. The same is true of all the other pieces - for instance in the typical Najdorf structure with pawns on e5 and d6, knights on f6/d7, and bishop on e7 - if that bishop can go from e7 to e.g. b6 (so long as d6 remains solid enough), it can suddenly become a monster piece.

A key is to avoid excessive opening study until much later. It's a trap because you can spend an infinite amount of time learning openings, and you will get some wins without ever even leaving book, which feels pretty dang rewarding, but in the longrun it will stunt your growth. I remember at one point, sometime around 1800, delusionally thinking that the main difference between me and Kasparov was his encyclopedic opening knowledge. A quick glance at Hikaru doing puzzle rush will emphasize that's not quite right, of course this was long before GMs streaming was a thing! On the equal but opposite side, I also would recommend avoiding 'system' openings as a means of not having to worry about openings because the ideas and plans you see and learn in classical openings help improve your understanding much more than seeing an e.g. Colle each and every game.

Contagious diseases aren’t compatible with the fantasy that individual liberty is always the highest good. That is why decades ago our society realized the need for public health authorities that can temporarily override individual liberties to protect society.

Undoubtedly not all the COVID measures were perfect. Some ineffective measures were imposed, and some effective measures were not imposed. You can hindsight armchair quarterback that all you want, but there’s no question the authority to impose such measures is needed. And somebody (who thank heavens isn’t you or me) has to exercise that authority with only the information available at the time, and the highest possible stakes.
Facebook didn't censor themselves.

Mark admitted the source of the censorship on Rogan's podcast and again doubled down on this fact with a letter to Congress.

Yes, yes there is.

It is wrong to kill or perform any violence or harm against children in any war context.
I find myself disagreeing with many of the examples. E.g. according to the article:

Bad: It is quite difficult to find untainted samples.
Better: It is difficult to find untainted samples.

Bad: We used various methods to isolate four samples.
Better: We isolated four samples.

Something being quite difficult reads significantly differently than just being difficult. You haven't made the sentence better, you've changed the meaning.

And the fact that you used various methods instead of a single method is information missing from the second sentence.
The editor is the one who decides if to goes to review. Lots of 'top tier' journals the editors will quickly reject the manuscript.

Actual paper: http://dx.doi.org/10.14795/j.v11i3.1035

Assuming it's not a forgery, the tablet is unusual in that it appears to be made from locally sourced basalt, but no burials or ancient settlements are known in the area, except for a historic road that was built much later. However, the researchers speculate about a potential ancient settlement in the vicinity of what is now an artificial lake:

>Drone research (Fig. 6) revealed that the area of approximately 4 km2 is divided into geometrical shapes contoured by means of white stones brought from somewhere else. Special, in-depth studies showed entire sets of regular circles that could be burial mounds; the rectangular, semicircular and combined geometric figures could be the remains of houses, defense structures and places of worship.
Assuming you are a coder lets see how that works for you..

Someone comes to you saying they need a website. You say "absolutely ... clearly you need one!". So you build it.

The decision to pay you however comes from some 3rd party who says "denied". Now the customer keeps their site and you don't get paid.

Will you stay in this coding business?

The real solution is a public health system. Which has issues (apply queuing theory, because you will have to wait for the limited resources you are niw denied) overall it is better though since it can in theory be optimized as a whole.

The issue isn't that the data sent over the wire changed too much. Instead, the semantics changed too much.

Adopting IPv6 would ideally have been as simple as changing a socket definition and your address types. But so much of the semantics changed that it isn't that easy at all. It also prevented backwards capability.
I had only 600-700 gb of data on my Mac. Installed OneDrive, did not know that I had configured my NAS to do 800gb of cloud backups to OneDrive. And Time Machine downloaded that data into its backup. Although I had configured OneDrive not to download that folder to my Mac. So time Machine screwed up in the first place.
Great post this has cleared up a lot of things for me.
There's 2 hashes here. Rainbow is non-crypto, rainstorm is proposed as a crypto-hash, requiring cryptanalysis. It's not claiming to be validated as a cryptohash by SMHasher3, which tests statistical properties. You need (crypt)analysis to say it's a secure and trusted crypto-hash. This was developed a couple months past the NIST submission deadline for SHA3.

Maybe your immune response was wrongly triggered? It happens. But what we really need antibodies against is excessive negativity and vague criticism, combined with attempts to justify the same with "you're not someone who is supposed to do that" gatekeeping.

Could some of this be motivated by the fact that you want to do stuff like this yourself, but instead of doing so, or analyzing it, you just criticize it, inappropriately? I don't think you're trying to pick on me, just confused and powered by righteous protective instinct that is better were it more informed and discerning. Reflect some?

A mid-life crisis happens when you reach your goals.

When we are young we strive for success. We go to college, get a job, climb the career ladder. Ostensibly we do it to afford fancy houses, cars, motorbikes or whatever, but we can't afford those things so we strive for success.

Then one day we achieve the goal. We have a wife, kids, house, car - we're earning well, and have cash left over. We are, objectively, successful. We have reached the goal.

But we discover we're not satisfied. Hence the crisis. Some get a new wife. Some buy the toys they always wanted. But that also doesn't satisfy, the glow wears off, and we're back to searching.

At this point the goals shift from success to significance. You want to leave a mark, to impact the lives of others. Maybe mentoring. Maybe uplifting others. Maybe charity. Maybe volunteering. And so on.

Sadly, of course, there are those who don't progress. Some chase "success" forever, alienating people along the way. For some no measure of success is enough.

Some find contentment early - a balance between relationships and work. They tend to miss the "crisis" since their path switched from "success" to "significance" early.

In the long run people satisfy more than things.

I think the core ideas of the ACA with the public option was originally Gingrich, in response to Hillary Clinton’s much more aggressive proposal for single payer, right? And then before the federal ACA, “Romneycare” was implemented in Massachusetts (without a public option, but with preexisting condition protection and not allowing separate high risk pools) by Republican Governor Mitt Romney. I think the discourse ended up polarized because Obama presented it that it seemed really partisan but the person that killed the public option in a Herculean commitment to insurance company profiteering was none other than liberal centrist Senator Joe Lieberman. This is not a partisan issue. There are obviously going to be ideological pockets in the extremes but outside of that, for the most part, the only people that are stepping up to defend the insurance companies are in their goddamned pockets.
Ultimately yes, but in healthcare, demand is fixed (to a large extent) and supply is tightly controlled as the education takes super long and hospitals only have limited residencies available.
The parent comment referred to McKinsey’s entire revenue, not to their revenue from their work relating to Opioids specifically.

Spooky also has some good results on common identifiers.

The public option in 2009 would have helped, let the profit-skimmers compete with the government program and prove that they really can deliver better service while taking their 20-30% cut. But the "free market" captains of industry are liars, they say that they want competition but they don't, they want market manipulation and safe cozy profit margins.

It's funny (not funny haha) how Democrats always seem to have a few undercover sabotagers in their ranks that get elected having lied to voters and then undermine Democrat's agenda, Lieberman, Manchin, Sinema, now Fetterman.
Given the outcomes of the Facebook mood experiments and how I've seen people put together very targeted ads, I'm wondering whether it's possible to induce someone (who's already under a lot of pressure) to commit suicide simply via a targeted information campaign. I'm speculating less on what happened here, and more on the general "yes that would be possible" situation.

How would one protect themselves from something like this? Avoid all 'algorithmically' generated data sources, AdBlock, VPN, don't log in anywhere?

During a project, the live documents were on the teams laptops (local encryption). Only key deliverables were uploaded to servers, mostly at the end of the project.

My wife and I recently applied to receive a breast pump covered by insurance because why not? She is pregnant and while it is not certain she will need it, it’s better to be safe than sorry right?

We got the breast pump, some Chinese product that, on Amazon, retails for no more than 50$. Given the quality I was frankly surprised to see that the health insurance had been charged 300$. Not even the iPhone of breast pumps in the market would cost that much.

It was vendored to us by some organization that is no doubt making a living from selling cheap Chinese produced breast pumps and charging a 600% markup.

This is the exact same thing that is happening to Tylenol, a 50 cent drug that is marked up to 79$ when given at a hospital. To ambulance trips. To routine checkups. To medical exams. To X-rays and to cat scans.

Literally everything that is covered by insurance is enjoying exorbitant mark ups. Buyers can’t vote with their wallets because there is no choice. The illusion of choice is barely even there, as difference health insurance coverage covers the same things only at different price points.

As a buyer of health insurance you can’t not pay for the 300$ breast pump, or the 79$ Tylenol. There is no choice you can choose to avoid that.

And since I bought the $300 dollar breast pump, I contributed to the bloated premiums by causing the expenses for breast pumps to be much higher than it needs to be. So I should apologize to you all. But of course I have no option except to make premiums higher for all of you because I want my wife to have a breast pump.

There is no other way to fix any of this nonsense except to socialize healthcare completely.
Those are not charges for the mass murder they have supported. They are charges for not following procedure. There is a huge difference.
This isn't me trying to convince you to use Linux, but the listed reasons (other than LLM testing) aren't real deterrents (and there are plenty that exist for many people, no use pretending not):

> Acorn

GIMP (or Glimpse, if you want a more modern UI) or Krita can definitely do pretty much anything Acorn can.

> Keyboard Maestro

GNOME and KDE have been able to do this out of the box from pretty much the beginning. The OSes are still mostly terminal-first (one of the big complaints, actually), and that translates into the DEs and Applications. A keyboard automation is just a sequence of commands.

This is probably one of the few areas where Linux almost definitely beats macOS or Windows.

> OnniGraffle

There's a large swathe of diagramming tools in Linux.

> Alfred App

Yep, both KDE and Gnome are able to handle this task as well as Alfred. Like automation, this is probably an area Linux will be able to shine above macOS.

> MS Office

LibreOffice would be the common alternative.

> MS Teams

They used to have an official client. They now recommend you create a PWA, and there are some unofficial clients that do pretty much that:

https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux

This seems to be the route they'll be going all around, similar to slack (web + an electron app).

> I test LLMs locally.

LLMs run fine on Linux, but you will be limited to about 16GB on the VRAM side. Though, you could technically use Asahi + Apple Silicon as the support matured if you want.

Most of these are open source applications, with cludgy UIs/warts and all; and aren't really designed by teams with UX masters, so operate oddly and require relearning. But if you were interested in making the move, they're options.
and yet here we find ourselves, exchanging our server side rendered opinions on the matter
Yeah, I’m not saying they weren’t doing impressive things. I’m saying they were still severely limited and would not be capable of a “go around without touching the wheel/brakes test” like a Tesla can in the entire US now.

I think firstly you should try to make meetups virtual and based on topics of interest? let the system get traction and then do physical things. Also allow users to have their own username so that they can choose to disassociate with their original HN account for privacy.

I would personally join a virtual online meetup on my favourite topic for sure! If not that, I would watch it later on youtube FOR SURE. It's like a discord for hackernews tbh.
No, I used Radar in the pre-NeXT days. I even still have the state diagram mug from when it was introduced in the early 90s. At that point it was a client-server app, because the web didn’t exist yet.

Now, it may be that the Apple bug database is always called Radar, regardless of implementation, like the Dread Pirate Roberts.

You're right, but there are people on both sides who toe the party line blindly(and stupidly, if I might add).

I'll never forget Trump being cornered, and him saying he's not going to let people die in the streets, and his audience booing. He claimed they were all donors and lobbyists taking the audience seats, and despite his typical theatrics, I now believe that to be the truth.

Either way, today it is a leftist idea I think, so there will exist some people who oppose it out of spite.

I don't know a single person happy with the system today, which is damning. Just look at the reaction from recent events...
A friend of mine is an opthalmic surgeon. He does complex corneal transplants and cataract surgery etc.

He had 12 years of training before he could so his first surgery. Once he invited me to observe a couple of operations that he did, which was super interesting. He told me afterwards that smart people with steady hands could probably be trained in 3 months to do the routine surgical work.
This is a really simplistic approach and you're never going to fix it.

There are numerous stakeholders who setup the rules - the government, insurance companies, hospitals, doctors, billers, etc.

All of them profit from the current system, but there is no single stakeholder who decides the overall rules.
Surveillance and censorship don't facilitate meaningful social interaction. People do want to use computers to coordinate social value, but the model of involving a 3rd party is not desirable.
Sounds a bit too simplistic. Apple is about the only company that allows you to run any decently sized LLMs on a laptop. They also have all day battery life, amazing single-threaded performance and great multicore performance. And they didn’t stop there, they also threw in a truly fantastic display and speakers that are so far ahead of any competitors that I wonder what kind of magic they have that no other laptop brand is able to put better speakers in their laptops.
I'll break the combo here; another punny comment would only subtract from this already perfect thread.
Do we know if this was a bug in the beta releases of 15.2, or did it manifest only in the final version?
Yes and no, code comes with affordances like whitespace and comment layouts that are for humans that are unnecessary excess for ASTs.
I would love to know the identity of their GC, the team that does it all
