It's a longstanding association. Overly-online people have overly-online-people hobbies. If you like anime you probably like programming, and vice-versa.

Wait until someone tells you about the programming socks: https://knowyourmeme.com/editorials/guides/what-are-programm...
Would you please share more details about this?
Some few years ago I did a YouTube dive into earthing/grounding tech setups, but never created a grounded mat to use while sleeping or programming. We don't use wifi for our computers (chips removed from machines and cable modem's wifi turned off) and spend very little time on cellphones in our residence, so we experience very little locally-generated EMF radiation (AFAIK), but I've not measured it for a very long time (I have a ~$200 EMF and magnetic field measurement device).

I'm curious if anyone around here has tried grounding themself while working or sleeping and noticed any difference. From a naturalistic standpoint, it seems like a valid concept to test as our pre-, say, 100ya bodies' environment had very low ambient EMF radiation. Then, before the vulcanization of rubber, our transportation when on foot, at least, was spent grounded to the earth through leather (or other natural fabric) shoes (AFAIU).

Anyway, I do notice that going to a park and spending a chunk of time leaning on a living tree or just plopping down on the ground on our cotton blanket does seem to confer a pleasant bodily result. Or maybe it's just Placebo. I don't know yet.

From what I remember or understand, grounding oneself to the Earth causes our body to be flooded with electrons from the Earth's natural resevoir, but I'm no EE, so I would appreciate some folks leveling me up by sharing their expertise with those reading this.

Perhaps grounding oneself will help harmonize our internal electical waves in a way that helps improve our concentration.

I'm also curious how grounding oneself would affect the alkalization of our body. I'm sensitive to acidic foods such as tomato paste or marinara or jalapeno. I'm no chemist, so I wonder if there would be an effect in that dimension as well.

I'm looking for people to beta test this site I've created, where you can watch / listen to, as well as create, debates between AI bots.

This link entitles the first 25 people to get 10 credits to use to make debates:

DC-8 a 1950's jet in 1968 so modern buoyancy may not have applied. Everyone made it to shore without getting wet and the airplane was back in the air within a year. Remarkable.
The underappreciated part of React today is it helps you to be more secure by default. Once you are handling user generated content, even of the simplest kind, it's far safer.
I would love to add a dedicated section on this, and would love to learn a bit more from you in this. Do you have any particular example tools that you would compare Bruin in your mind that you would like to understand the difference better?

He makes jokes and is humble but wouldn't know it from democrat reporters. In a way he was forced into being a republican just like most former democrats like him were. When you are trying to get things done, things like anti-meritocratic ideas like woke culture get in the way. Things like California eliminating advanced classes for students altogether because it was seen as diverting too many resources away from black and brown students. That's one example of hundreds where the democrat run states/cities/officials always seem to make things harder to accomplish anything.
> Most scanners send three requests per IP address. Our solution observes the first two requests to check if a device exists at that IP

So all an attacker has to do to avoid the tarpit is reduce their retries to 2? And they can detect all your fake devices by seeing who responds on the 3rd try?

I get that this is just one step in the cat-and-mouse game, but the brittleness of this approach makes the grandiose closing statements a little grating:

> Lightweight yet powerful, it empowers you to take control of your network security with minimal effort.
> Khan seems to have been pretty terrible

to the contrary, she's great for free, competitive markets

she's just not good for winner-take-all M&A investors, and _that_ is a good thing

the average American - and even the average investor - will not benefit from her departure
Then this must count as a great landing!

> While everyone aboard safely went about their strange day after the crash, the plane was left with $4 million of damage, though it was fixed up and flying again less than 12 months later.
I think airlines are a great example because the fees are often actually paying for something materially different.

When purchasing concert tickets recently I got a "mobile convenience fee" for an e-ticket even though the venue doesn't operate a physical box office. A recent hotel had a "resort fee" that was not opt-out even if you didn't use the amenities it allegedly paid for. These kinds of BS fees should go away.
Hopefully this does away with the fraudulent “cleaning fee” when you book a hotel for $200 and then get a charge for $450.
Or just any normal proctored exam?
You can also by any color of "sand" you like at your local craft/hobby shop.
Isn't Airbnb a good example of this? In some locations you have to open each listing to get the true price and it's a huge waste of time. In locations, what you see on the map is the real value, cleaning and other, fees included.
Yup, I know what sales tax is in my state and can do the math in my head pretty easily to get the approx. amount. If you live in a state for any length of time you should be able to do this too. even if its something odd like 7.25% you can figure out what 10% is really quickly and know it'll be a little less than that.
I did eventually stumble upon the Thinkpad one which supports 192 GB of ram. So that is better than the MacBook. I still can’t see where it says that the Dell machines support that much.

The Lenovo one comes with a decent GPU, but you can’t get it with more than 16 GB of memory. But the 5000 ADA should be a lot faster at running smaller models compared to the M4 Max. It does cost a lot. The one with 128 GB of RAM costs 5519 USD compared to the MacBook at 5999 USD. So it’s not that much cheaper.

GPU is great, for smaller LLMs, but the CPU is not that great. The i9-13950HX is quite behind the M4 Max.

Battery life isn’t half bad either. PCmag was getting close to 10 hours, but then again they got 27 hours out of my current laptop and I can say that I get much closer to 10 hours with my workload, so then I would be getting maybe 4 hours out of the Lenovo, which is not exactly great.

I’m glad that you’ve found a machine that works for you.
On the other hand he’s isolated a LOT of his original customers and most of republicans still think EVs are stupid.
So like, 67% of Zimbabweans don't have internet (2022).
It's about the ratio. Employees to users. And the profit per employee is quite high.
That doesn't help with the posited example of "I lost my phone and need to borrow someone else's computer".
> a PIN is pretty much a password in my book.

My definition of a PIN is a password that can safely be short (i.e. low entropy), which means you can only use it against a system capable of enforcing a rate limit.

That can be local trusted hardware (such as a secure enclave, a Yubikey etc.) or a remote backend via something like SRP.

> If the passkey requires a PIN, I don't bother. I just can't be bothered to remember it.

Then use your password! A PIN can, but does not have to, be short :) FIDO-compliant authenticators have to accept up to 255 UTF-8 characters; you're by no means limited to a numeric 4-digit code.
But don't you also get into that account via your passkey? How do you know that the passkey you are using to get into the Google/Apple account isn't the same one that will be lost if you lose your phone? I've actually implemented passkeys on my website and I still don't use passkeys for e.g my own Google account because I don't trust it.
Frontend dev here. Hats off to Ciechanowski as always. The code is readable and works well, and looks written with love. I wouldn't do it this way, but then again, I wouldn't do this at all. Probably couldn't.

This is an example of frontend as a craft. I am confident it was written with a model M keyboard and his home office is referred to as an atelier.
Not sure about going all the way back to 2012, but maybe they were more worried about the Mayan calendar? /s

But as far as under this administration, it seems like it took half the term to right the ship and get the leadership moving in the right direction. I think a second term would have been impressive.
Thinking of it in terms of code is why the idea sounds ridiculous. AI won't make you a Django app and deploy to the cloud (though you can also do that), systems will be built based on pipelines and automation, integrations, just-in-time UI or conversational interfaces. Similar to the no-code platforms of today.
See also theologians and philosophers (also good at finding loopholes in theories).
If I could wave a wand to wish away all LLM's I would do it in a heartbeat. More harm than good.
Correct, it doesn't. IP geolocation is nowhere near precise enough.

Remember, sales tax isn't something big like state-level. It's literally town-level, including tiny towns. Two sides of the same street can have a different sales tax.

Not to mention all the extra rules, such as individual clothing items under $110 being exempt in New York.
Certainly not Chamberlain.

Chamberlain's system is cloud-based. Strictly speaking, it doesn't work on LANs -- that's not one of its functions.

No, it is definitely USD. $650 ZWD would be like $2USD. I doubt OP is complaining about that.
Steerable headlights seem too complicated/expensive and just another thing to go wrong.

Just regulate the beam pattern and brightness with consideration given to modern LED lighting not 1980's incandescent bulbs.
The PIN is also for the card itself. The smartcard chip inside the card can validate it for offline transactions (although that's not as common in the US).

I think a reasonable modern definition for a PIN is "a password that can safely be short"; more here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42446015
It’s a start. I’m bummed at how narrowly scoped this is. When the RFC period was open I wrote in to highlight how apartments charge surprise pet rent fees that don’t appear until the application process.
I wish more people knew this… it actually works amazing. Taking responsibility for your mistakes and, better yet, explaining exactly what went wrong and how you will prevent it in the future almost always turns out better, and builds more respect and trust than trying to deny or shift the blame as is usually done. Learning this radically improved my career progression, and personal relationships. It also takes the power away from people that would use it to manipulate or control you.

We Don't Have to Destroy Ourselves
I really don't like these medicines that give people who indulge themselves excessively an easy way out. Maybe these side effects are nature's price for not doing the work.
Because they are against one and for the other. Pro markets means whatever policies they agree with, which is of course how all broken highly regulated markets begin their run.
“Increasingly” doing a lot of heavy lifting there, fiber rollouts are slow and complex and still lend to the kind of semi-natural monopoly that’s caused massive ISP price gouging in western urban areas. I agree that fibre ultimately dominates the last-mile market, but Starlink et al. are still needed to keep last-mile providers to account.
Lina Khan is my second hero in life after Evariste Galois.

Even if they throw her out it won’t change what she’s done: she put fear in the bellies of some truly terrible people who had almost forgot what the word “restraint” means.

Ms Khan, I salute you.
Local retailers would oppose this in very strong terms as a thumb on the scale in favor of online retailers.

Online retailers would presumably still be able to show pricing before knowing a shipping address, so their pricing would be pre-tax. That would make the apparent price differential even greater, and on every item.

I think this would make the marketplace less clear for consumers.
So far so good. Fathom has been great.
> I am really surprised almost no one is doubling down on something like this.

I've thought a lot about this – every time a new one is posted. I wish we could live in a world where this is what STEM education looks like. I think that, ultimately, it's just very high labor cost, and edtech is not known for being highly lucrative.

Bartosz does these as a labor of love, and the world is better off for it.
I will take the blurb which says taxes are an approximate calculation based on web browsing data available, vs, no taxes shown. We're gate keeping good features for large % of users over some edge cases.
According to this article, a rather weak argument about people not liking to wake up before sunrise based on questionable correlation of commute times to sunrise times, ignoring factors such as average commute lengths, dominant (historical) industries, effective natural light at different times in modern housing.

From that it makes an (incorrect) assumption about the value of AM sunlight over PM sunlight and declares that all-year DST is pointless.

In my opinion the only argument against all-year DST which holds any water at all, and even then not much, is the concern about kids going to school in the dark. However, since many places don't have enough winter daylight to go around, trade-offs need to be made and kids are probably better off on-net having daylight time during their free time instead of while eating their toast inside and commuting to school.
nice job! now it's time for the prover part :)
A recent WizzAir flight was advertised (when I searched for the route on their website) for €21. I rejected all optional extras, and that was the total price I paid.

No checked luggage, probably only a small cabin bag that fitted under the seat in front, no priority boarding, no seat selection.

It's a budget service, but the advertised prices aren't deceptive.
0.02% relative risk increase implies 2 in 10,000 will end up with the condition where they would not otherwise.

Your chances of being hit by a meteorite are _at most_ 1 in 1,000,000.

My happiness would not extend across several orders of magnitude like that, but perhaps, some people just need the $10k more than I would.
Today’s first year undergraduate is roughly as literate as a sixth grader was a century ago. College was never meant to be a mass remedial education program and by attempting to be one it’s failing at its core mission.

All this nannyware of various sorts is just more evidence, proof even, of how few of those students should even be there.
> How can I compare what I'm going to spend my money on if you're just allowed to lie to me?

You're not supposed to, that's the point. It's frankly shocking (and also not, but you know) how much businesses in America are allowed to bullshit you.

I signed on with a telco for high speed internet when we bought our house for $65 a month and by the time we got fiber and I could finally tell them to kick rocks, the bill had soared to nearly $200 for the exact same service over the course of 4 years. Why? Because they can, and go fuck yourself.

A hotel stay for a vacation was supposed to cost $851, but they demanded a $300 pre-authorization on top of that. Why? Because they can. I wasn't notified ahead of time, absolutely nowhere was this information given to me. And I could take that on fine, but why is this allowed? What if I wasn't so fortunate and was traveling by air, do I just sleep in a box because the hotel can't guarantee I'll be able to pay for $300 worth of room service I have no intention of buying?

I feel like this just happens everywhere now, I just expect it. I expect to get fucked over in one way or another, and on the one hand I'm sure it's my anxiety, but on the other hand there is so much expensive arbitrary nonsense that's just plunked down in front of me, and yeah, most of it I can handle fine, because I work in tech and make good wages. So I guess just fuck everyone who grew up at the income level I got, because I am fucking sure that my single mother trying her hardest as she was, wouldn't be able to get by if I was born like 15-20 years later than I was.

Edit: Oh and FUCK every politician who has ever farted out words something like "responsible consumption of healthcare" because sweet Jesus, healthcare billing is an utter nightmare. I don't think I have EVER, EVER in my entire life had some kind of medical event where I knew the costs going in that were then reflected afterwards. It's just all made the fuck up on the fly with no respect for the patients, when they are already stressed out and scared.
What Is Enterprise AI?
The zip code I live in spans two different cities (as well as different counties in my state). It's stupid but also it's reality
> In my program, grades don’t matter (so employers can’t stack rank us).

Can you expand a bit on how that works? I have limited academic experience, so I’m fascinated. Does everyone end up with a 4.0 if they pass, or..?
Can we be done with "resort fees" and "taxes" as well? Hotel prices should include all of this
Yes, that's one of the (many) benefits of logging!

And in fact, there is a hiatus, because the introduction at the beginning is from a different "sub-book", where the pages are numbered using roman numerals. Typically the introduction would be written and typeset after the main book had been typeset, so its number of pages would not known in advance and that's why it uses a different numbering system.

So one finds a signature mark on pages 9, 25 41, 57, 73, 89, and then it starts again at page 93
109, 125, 141, 157, 173, 189, etc. (those numbers come from the filenames of the scans, not the numbers printed on the pages).

=> Another reason for not starting with the first signature mark and simply adding 16, is that would miss the changing of sub-book (or any irregular number of pages, for any reason).
What should I look for in my first SWE job?
I'm lucky to have 2 offers in this market as a New Grad, however they are vastly different and both have their pros and cons so I'm having trouble deciding.

They're both in MCOL suburb areas and are decent names within their own industry, but they're not super popular or tech companies. One is notably higher pay ($110k USD vs $90k) but a lot worse WLB (in person 5 days, 45-50hrs a week, almost no vacation/sick days, notably higher rate of turnover) vs the other co. is hybrid, ~30-35 hours/week, slower moving, and a lot more vacation/sick days overall. Both have decent benefits.

The tech stacks for both companies vary a bit but they're both on the legacy side of things with a lot of work done maintaining old crappy code, also it's really team dependent (I don't know what team I will be on). The caveat for the second lower-paying company is that I will have the chance to try out two different teams for 6 months to see which I like.

My goal is either FAANG or a major tech company within a couple years. I would love the extra money but I also value WLB quite a bit so its either between putting my head down and grinding or trying to enjoy life after uni. The learning opportunities at either company seem to be completely variable depending on which team I get put on.
If these students cared about education they wouldn’t be using AI to avoid learning how to do the work.

Right, but even when they do have your zipcode (because you added beforehand for checking stock for example) they don't update the prices. It would be nice to have the option

I see lot of frontend people say this (since their baseline is "nothing"), but as someone who's used to compiled languages, all JS-ecosystem tooling is quite atrocious. It's still missing many of the useful basics that other ecosystems take for granted.
I don't think that an AI would be interrogated in court.

I think that it would be hard to hide all the inputs and outputs of the AI from scrutiny by the court and then have the company or senior leadership be held accountable for them.

Even if you had a retention policy for the inputs and outputs, the AI would be made available to the plaintiff and the company would be asked to provide inputs that produce the observed actions of the AI. If they can't do that without telling the AI to do illegal things, it would probably result in a negative finding.

----

Having thought a bit more, I think the model that we'd actually see in practice at first is that the AI assists management with certain tasks, and the tasks themselves are not morally charged.

So the manager might ask the AI to produce performance reviews for all employees, basing them on observable performance metrics, and additionally for each employee, come up with a rationale for both promoting them and dismissing them.

The morally dubious choices are then performed by a human, that reviews the AI output and collects or discards it as the situation requires.
This is absolutely true and when I read my first non-compete my dad calmly explained how unenforceable they are due to hardship exceptions and lack of specificity. However, I had a very business minded father to ask and most people don't. Non-competes have been abused to scare uninformed employees into staying in positions they want to leave or as revenge for someone leaving.

The fact that they're so often unenforceable is probably a decent argument that they're an irrelevant complication of labor interactions that we don't need anyways. They only ever made sense with executives and those folks usually have large sums of money attached to their compliance.
FastComments is a couple hundred thousand lines of JS now (backend and frontend, with a couple small backend java services)

I hope to move to TS in 2025

But, we still don't use a frontend framework, we just write components as classes. Each component takes a root node that the parent is supposed to "own", and that's kinda it. React is more productive short term, but I find this easier long term with complex UIs, keeping memory usage low, and less work keeping stuff upgraded.
