Correct, except instead of adding it to the pool and waiting for the software to randomly place it, I did it manually.
Many factors make a house perfect or not. One can also make improvements n evolve into one. Size, shape, amount of natural lighting, indoor/outdoor pace and your own personal preferences help in landing one with in reasonable budget. Location, amenities with in distance etc if desired can be researched on most real estate listing web sites. A helpful realtor/broker could also help.

The USA is not especially high up on the World Press Freedom Index:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Press_Freedom_Index

My main problem with free speech in America is how it’s become some sort of unquestionable belief that it’s absolute. There are many instances of freedom of speech being curtailed by the USA government, yet they are somehow redefined into some sort of “unspeech” and don’t count instead of being honest and saying “yes, we restrict speech on this occasion for X reason”. It’s a very dangerous Orwellian approach to not allow yourself to see when your freedoms are being restricted.
As grating as this is to freedom of expression, I’ve been annoyed enough times by ‘tok’ers doing crap like I dunno, licking ice cream buckets in supermarkets, I’m also looking forward to that going away for a few months till the next thing replaces it.

Unfortunately, this is pretty bad precedent. While I love my country, these sorts of decisions are as federal level are pretty scary and I question whether the government should wield this power.
TVs and monitors are technologically different. They are constructed to be focused on from different range depths and widths. You can't just buy a TV-sized monitor and use it like a TV.
More than 90% of Japanese households have a car, so it's not a problem of ownership. They only use it when they really need to.
The US used to be globally competitive. I don't know what changed.

I do get the strong impression that there was a period of perhaps a century or so, from the mid 19th through late 20th, where we were at least a little less likely to be fighting against each other. Those were rather prosperous times.

Since then we've still produced some very big things, but it seems less widely beneficial. And we do seem increasingly to be at each other's throats. I don't know if they're related.
That's a bizarre claim considering that the US economy is currently outperforming most other developed countries.
> Yes, Tokyo has the best public transport in the world, but people would still choose cars if they were faster and cheaper.

thats the point, cars would not be faster and cheaper to move around in Tokyo.

Monitors have different (worse for distance viewing) panels, so they aren’t a replacement.

Also, the price of an excellent non-ad-supported computer (eg Apple TV) to replace the one that comes in the TV is $140.

That’s rounding error vs the price of a midrange TV, and it shouldn’t be a selling point in the > ~ $1000 range.
Just to make sure I'm understanding correctly, I think that your intent is that rainbow is / should be treated as cryptographically weaker than SIPhash, right? (despite both of them not being something you would use in a high security context)

Yitzak Rabin was not killed by a leftist. America was not freed from England by petition.
Something doesn’t have to be perfect to be good. Most American’s recognize and lament the erosion of freedoms over the years, while still valuing the many that remain.

I don’t think they should be be laughed at for that.
Unless I am misreading the survey design, they are randomly sampling the 16-65 age group. There is a significant trend of lower scores with age, even within a birth cohort. Under those conditions, it's not clear that the weighting is taking care of that bias. Also their USA results have near the worst non-response bias of any country, and come with cautionary notes about that.
Yes! We need to have only American propaganda in the heads of the vulnerable youth of America, and we need to have only Chinese propaganda in the heads of the vulnerable youth of China, and we need to have only Zimbabwean propaganda in the heads of the vulnerable youth of Zimbabwe.

And so on and so on, down through all the letters of the alphabet. That'll solve our problems!
It's a pity that the article doesn't suggest who to give money to instead.

The most similar organization I know that probably needs the money is https://archive.org/donate. There were just some bad news about them (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40754229, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41895764), but it would be a real shame if the Wayback machine stopped working and we lost the internet's history.

Then there's always https://www.eff.org/.

Then there are non-tech organizations to donate to, for example https://www.givedirectly.org/ or a local food bank.
Yes they are very open and honest, now try searching Tiananmen Square protests in the country.
Ah, thanks, so I guess to write tags like URLs and things I don't really need Mifare cards, the NTAG cards are fine. Thanks for the info!
Dillo to me is a triumph that exhibits everything great about lightweight environments on Linux. When I had almost no money and an even massively out of date for the time Pentium 2 laptop, I was able to get a version of puppy Linux running and using dillo to browse the web and it was lightning fast.

Dillo is and has always been relentlessly lightweight and in my mind no other browser compared at executing on this mission so well.

Thank you for breathing life into my impossibly old Toshiba Tecra in 2008.
When did I mention the economy?
the flaw here is you're treating something meant to be disposable as permanent.
That’s a solid reason to return the tv, though it’s probably worth it to check online before purchasing one.

I see your point.

The challenge is that the US establishment firmly believes that American supremacy is both good for the world, and good for America and Americans.

No president (including Trump the first time) has yet been able to bring in enough true outsiders who were willing to gamble on this proposition to force through this type of change.

Consider if you really wanted to cut down on DoD spending, but you also believed that on a whole, American force projection was a good thing, but you just wished we could do so more cost effectively. If you're the big guy at the top pushing down these types of "30% budget cut, go figure it out", you're going to get push back from every corner saying that it's not possible without conceding on some critical capability.

As a single person, you could run down some of these claims and figure out which ones are bullshit, and ram your changes through. But you can't manage them all. So now you need more and more helpers to help you sort through the bullshit.

As long as you are hamstrung by the belief that maybe, just maybe, it's useful (or worse, vital) to have 11 carriers available (btw, that's a law, not just DoD policy) so that you can have 2-3 at sea at any point, you're going to run into problems trying to ram through straight budget cuts.
Author of the tweet here. A few notes:

1. No cherry picking

2. This was the original ChatGPT, i.e. the GPT3.5 model, pre-GPT4, pre-turbo, etc

3. This capability was present as early as GPT3, just the base model —- you'd prompt it like "<python program> Program Output:" and it would predict the output
I was looking at those.

Note that they don’t support volume control on their analog line out ports. This is a deal breaker for me.

Hisense seems to be the luddite’s best choice in 2024.
Truly. I wonder if they are trying to maintain UX continuity with 1997, forcing them to maintain this jankfest forever.
Some of these ideas are really becoming a rabbit-hole for me. I like the idea of forwarding SMS to email, but then you need an email provider who will never prompt for some sort of 2fA just because you're outside the country or on an unfamiliar device, and an always-on mobile device.

The email provider who will never ask for 2FA to get in might be harder than it sounds. I've heard a story which I believed at the time, of Gmail not letting someone in without approving on an old device, even with the password and correct TOTP. Something odd like SDF could work here.

I suppose the always-on device should have no battery. I once had an HTC smartphone that would power on with the battery remove, but would sometimes crash. I think people who run postmarketOS do something to not require the battery, but soldering seems to usually be involved. USB 4G modem, old laptop with built-in 4G?

Edit: Just adding that I'm a big fan of SDF.org, so would love if that turns out to be the least messy solution!
yall wanna throw money at yo problems when the solution is keep the backup recovery codes properly.
I wonder what kind of impact this would have on their ability to actually provide good ML recommendations. Based on reporting that would be a lot of data to give up
> If spying and influencing vulnerable youths is the problem, shouldn't we be getting EU-like privacy laws and anti-social-media laws instead?

TikTok just massively influenced the Romanian elections (in the EU) by intentionally turning a blind eye to $millions of ad spend by Russia for a pro-Russian candidate. Despite all those laws.

TikTok is an asset of China that's clear as day. Sure, many times very awful things have been waved away by simply using the phrase "national security". In this case, that phrase is accurate. It's an absurd national security risk to have one of the most influential platforms in a Western country to be an asset of China. This is the reality we live in. It's unfortunate, but it's the way it is. Dancing around the elephant in the room is an incredible waste of time.
I think it came from this paper, TinyStories (https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.07759). iirc this was also the inspiration for the Phi family of models. The essential point (of the TinyStories paper), "if we train a model on text meant for 3-4 year olds, since that's much simpler shouldn't we need fewer parameters?" Which is correct. In the original they have a model that's 32 Million parameters and they compare it GPT-2 (1.5 Billion parameters) and the 32M model does much better. Microsoft has been interesed in this because "lower models == less resource usage" which means they can run on consumer devices. You can easily run TinyStories from your phone, which is presumably what Microsoft wants to do too.
Sorry that mention of Democracy Now was from an interview or separate article. Actually your cite[53] from the Wikipedia quote.

I'm not an expert, but I knew of the history of Smedley Butler and the Prescott Bush/Union Bank history.

Those articles don't add anything substantial. Maybe if you like you could mention the most substantial or damning fact from among them. You shouldn't feel the need though.
Some TVs put up a periodic nag screen if you do this. Others have a blinking led behind the IR sensor.

> But is it so bad that you don’t hire someone great who comes along and only wants part time when you’ve got no other decent candidates in the pipeline?

Sorry to tell you this, but this is correct.

If I hire someone part-time while I search for another person then I have to fire the part-time person when I find a full-time person.

Then I have to do all the work of on-boarding two people, the work of transitioning work from one person to another and the struggle of turning the position over. If I have the part-time person onboard for 4 months and they're working 10 hours per week, I'm only getting the equivalent of maybe 1 month of extra productivity. That 1 month of productivity is probably offset by all of the overhead and transition time.

I know it's not what you wanted to hear, but it's how things go.

If someone is only available part-time, we reserve isolated project-level work for them on an as-needed basis. Hiring someone to be part-time for a temporary time is so much overhead and work for someone who's barely working 1-2 days per week.

The last question I don’t know.
One thing to consider here is that the article pulled this question out, but did not actually state how many people actually got this question right or wrong.

It is pretty common for these kinds of tests to include a bunch of questions along various scales, including ones that researchers expect "everyone" to get.

This author might have a story they are trying to tell, and if they had information about this question like "oh well everyone got this question right", then they would not be able to illustrate what they mention afterwards:

> So can unfamiliar words or concepts. It’s been estimated that comprehension starts to break down when as little as 2 percent of the words in a passage are unfamiliar. The bread-and-crackers text uses a number of words and phrases that aren’t likely to crop up in ordinary conversation, like “exposed to the elements,” “crystallized,” and “retrogradation”

This seems fairly straightforward, right? Like some people will not be able to fill in the blank of the meaning of certain words, especially people who are not as good at "test taking" skills (solving the puzzle of understanding all the answers are in the text, process of elimination and other tricks that people who ace this stuff are using without even thinking).
The only reason I avoid linking to that MDN page is because I think it does a bad job of actually assembling all of the pieces together into a working example. That's why I linked specifically to the component hydration section, which assembles it all into a functioning component complete with an actual class and constructor. The code example in that specific section doesn't appear to use any deprecated or non-standard features. Otherwise, I normally do prefer MDN as an authoritative source of documentation.

Title should probably say American adults.
Agree. I nomad, and about 6 years ago I saw my last TV without an HDMI input. And only once in that time, I came across a DP monitor. I now carry a USB-C to HDMI cable that lets me use my phone as a desktop whenever it's plugged into a TV.
The problem was never smart TVs. All the people looking to buy dumb TVs just want to plug a chromecast or raspberry pi in to it to make it a smart TV anyway.

The problem is that the built in OS sucks and is full of OEM malware. Apple could fix this by providing an actually good experience.

You'd have to be on disability to not understand the sort of questions like this. Those disability numbers, especially from covid, should be available.

“Crackers seem soft when their moisture level reaches about 9 percent.” The sample “low difficulty” question asks, “At what moisture level do crackers become soft?”
Why would Apple make a dumb TV though?

The Pro Display XDR exists because there’s nothing really comparable in the space with those specs and there’s a market to be had for it.

The Studio display similarly exists because the only competitor for specs at the time was its own predecessor.

Both exist at a price point where the specs (specifically resolution at those specific screen sizes and HDR for the XDR) trump the higher cost of entry, and they get paired with an Apple device to take advantage of those capabilities.

TVs are highly competitive on cost because they’re effectively subsidized. Apple might have better processing but they’d get the same panels as everyone else. Unlike the Mac displays, they’d have to deal with the same content that every other TV has so that’s not a differentiator. There’s no money there for a dumb tv and there’s no differentiator for the average customer.

Instead the expectation is that Apple would lplay to its strengths of vertical integration. Build in their Apple TV hardware with Homekit etc on board. If they did anything less it would be panned.

The Apple TV experience would be the differentiator. It’s already miles ahead of the competition in the ways an average customer would care about, and brings apples privacy+ad stance to bear.
Whether one agrees with it or not, explicitly removing non-free software or the mere suggestion to install non-free software has consistently been a FSF litmus test for about twenty years in order for them to label an operating system as "truly free". Leading to exchanges such as the following in 2007 when Stallman remarked that he could not in good conscience recommend OpenBSD as their ports collection had wrappers that would allow the user to install non-free software more easily:

https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=119730630513821&w=2

Key part: "Since I consider non-free software to be unethical and antisocial, I think it would be wrong for me to recommend it to others. Therefore, if a collection of software contains (or suggests installation of) some non-free program, I do not recommend it. The systems I recommend are therefore those that do not contain (or suggest installation of) non-free software."
It occurs to me that a lot of the solutions here are technically involved, which isn't a surprise given where I asked. But so far I haven't seen any can't-be-bothered-thinking-about-it, obvious and simple solutions.

Are the majority of people who don't like doing this stuff just not using 2FA, or just risking being locked out? All the people I know in this category are doing one of these options.

> We both agreed on this and one thing we both understood was the fact that Republicans talk about smaller government, but at no time, either when they've had the presidency or been in control of congress have they ever reduced spending.

Absolutely. If Republicans were what they said they were, I’d still hate their rhetoric and a lot of their preferred social policies but I could put all of that aside if it meant reigning in the size, scope, budget (zeroing out the deficit and chopping away at the debt to bring it down over time rather than explosively growing it) of the Federal government and call myself a card-carrying member of the Republican Party. But that’s not the case, and I don’t really want to be associated with either of them in any way, shape or form.

If Elon Musk can do what nobody else has and convince Congress to downsize the Federal government, good for him. You can’t even scale the mission creep of the Federal government next to anything else because it has so thoroughly mission crept itself so many times people can’t even imagine it being any other way. I’m not holding my breath though, and in anticipation of Trump being sworn in and taking the Oval Office for himself once again and all the “crazy” things Musk says he wants to do with DOGE, real or not, I think people have just kind of forgotten that during his first term, Trump was very much a “what have you done for me lately” kind of boss who would fire people who weren’t performing at the level he wanted at the drop of a hat and sometimes in very inglorious and humiliating ways that came out of nowhere, even people who had bent over backwards to prove their loyalty to him during their time working for him.

I don’t think Musk is immune to that either; he has a lot of money and that money can be leveraged into power, but the Office of the Presidency has real power that Trump doesn’t need to spend any of his own money or Musk’s money leveraging because it is paid for by taxpayers with the Executive power vested wholly in him post-Noon on January 20th 2025.
The reporting I've seen is extremely dramatic about the data being collected. The most useful thing to the recommendation algorithm is interactions: number of loops before scroll, like, comment, share, etc.
Reading the article and the linked same report for 2023, the cross-country comparisons seem useless. Looking at the questions given, they're greatly influenced by ones cultural background. Changes in scores for individual countries over time may be worth something, but even then there's big question marks.
Wait, why React?
Front-end people keep using the word “isomorphic”.

I don’t think it means what they think it means.

To me, two types of values are isomorphic if they share the same cardinality. The isomorphism between two isomorphic types is a pair of morphisms (functions) that when composed one after the other is the same as doing nothing.

This word is a couple hundred years old, so it long predates front-end development. It has a pretty specific and established meaning in mathematics. It’s not right to use this word when you just mean “shared code”.
As in you think the US is actually very collectivist or as in you think the US doesn't care about families at all, only individuals?
