> I'm not gonna deny for a moment what Gaza is going through isn't traumatic, of course it is. That's reality. And saying what Israel is going through is nothing is delusional as well.

Oh, really? I assumed you were a mod. It's okay if you don't understand but, no?

You know, there was an article in the New Yorker about the moderators of Hacker News, mentioning two, I thought you were the other one! You were acting very moderater-ly, and your profile says "As seen in the New Yorker" so ...

Anyway, re the automated system for dupes, I meant it might be something to reconsider, ya know, because it seems to bias against people who have a lot of work to show, like me.

I get that this is a legitimate requirement here, but in many companies it just isn't. And this is a huge limiting factor. The way housing is nowdays, no way I'm moving for a job without a relo package.

Absolutely. That's why in newer computers with M.2 storage I'm delighted to find the existence of SATA SSD storage in M.2 form factor. Now I don't have to pay NVMe prices any more.

Whereas with Apple, I believe the only choice is NVMe storage. What if I want more but slower SSD storage?

I did speak a bit loosely and too simplistically. What I was trying to get to was the point you're making which is the same point the GP was making: when performers have the ability (because of the instrument they are using, including the voice), they will adjust to reduce beating.

My words on this were wrong and misleading.
It was a bad product at making money for Amazon, but they are useful for smart homes. Home Assistant is pretty squarely in the smart home category.

I bought two the second they were announced, I already use the software stack with the m5 atoms and they are terrible devices, but the software works well enough for me.
And their murder rate collapsed. Their policy was great.
yep, more news on that soon

The core product / pitch is still the same—an SDK for whiteboards and other infinite canvas stuff—and that's what we monetize through licenses. Computer (and our other demos) are basically marketing, R&D, and fun.
That's a strange non sequitur. A statement against Waterfall is not a statement for Scrum (no reason to shout, I get that you don't like it but shouting its name is weird).

Please, point out non-trivial successful (delivered on time, on budget, and with all initially planned features) Waterfall projects that did not modify Waterfall into something sensible (that is, incorporated feedback loops and probably executed as a series of iterations rather than one 5-year long project with hard distinctions between each phase).
The two are not incompatible. You can lock up the people most likely to murder; before you solve all possible society causes and build perfect deterrence.

I do know though, that your ability to build deterrence, or fix societal causes, will be heavily impaired to the point of impossibility if you don’t fix the marauder problem first. Deterrence is a preventative measure like brushing your teeth - but you can't brush your teeth later out of gingivitis after-the-fact.

It’s like saying fixing corrupt nations need democracy. Maybe - but if the people are starving, that’s the first problem needing fixing, or the attempt at democratic reforms will certainly fail.
Hopefully a sign of things to come. There can be incredible leverage in the public sector funding open source projects that have explicit public good character. The amounts involved are really ridiculous compared to pretty much any public sector expense. Yet the impact can be dramatic, both as a tangible service (e.g., openstreetmap is a fantastic resource for hikes) and as way to bind digital communities with non-commercial bonds.

Honestly, for me personally and on this specific project with its specific history of copyright issues (look it up!), that would be crossing the line into disrespecting the copyright situation.

Websites are ethereal, in a sense, as they are easy to switch off and hard to copy and distribute. PDFs and books are the opposite. Sure, websites get archived and repos get forked, but I think PDFs and books fall into a different area.

I run these projects very cautiously and very carefully. I don't think publishing a book or PDF containing copyright material is a good idea in this instance, to be honest!
Not saying ACX is a reliable source, but you can totally see the trend they are talking about in publicly available data. Murders had already fallen a lot by the time the imprisonment campaign started.

Well, the various Echo devices were allegedly built as loss leaders in the hope people would use them to make orders on Amazon. This is backed by the most active open source project on GitHub, which already has extensive support for voice pipelines both with and without LLMs, and is likely priced sensibly.

A lot has changed in the open source ecosystem since commercial assistants were first launched. We have reliable open source wakeword detectors, and cheap/free LLMs can do the intent parsing, response generation, and even action calling.

If you buy this [0] Startech 25U open server rack (unsure about other sizes), there is a non-zero chance you’ll receive a pallet of them – 9 in total – for the price of one. It’s a running joke in r/homelab. It happened to me, and then I found out it happened to a lot of people.

Also, for this reason, it’s somewhat common to see them for sale at a steep discount in r/homelabsales. Only makes sense if you’re within driving distance, but hey – cheap rack.

Yes, I clearly linked containers that aren't the device in question. I don't see the need for the extended battery case in those use-cases.

I also don't see my cat wearing that thing either. Maybe a large dog.

But things like wallets, remotes, cats, dogs, are usually in your possession frequently and only lost for short periods of time before you notice.

Luggage would be a good use case, and possibly bikes and other large equipment. But I would opt for something more discreet vs a larger battery.
That people with Alzheimer's cook in aluminum doesn't prove causation.

Ah yes, the "most scientists" card. "more likely" is also hilarious! Most doctors are more likely to smoke camel.

> The hypothesis that Al significantly contributes to AD is built upon very solid experimental evidence and should not be dismissed. Immediate steps should be taken to lessen human exposure to Al, which may be the single most aggravating and avoidable factor related to AD.

The science folk need an entirely different level of evidence than I do.
Nope. A $75/hr contractor makes less than a fast food assistant manager.

Where I’ve worked in the past, the preference was to get students and grow them into the company. Longer term contractors were for work nobody wanted… it’s hard to attract anyone interested into churning out J2EE and COBOL.

It’s pretty hard to transition senior people purged from big companies into these roles. Your purged assistant director from a fortune 50 is unlikely to take to being an IC in legacy tech. They transition well into pre-sales and program management roles, especially if they have domain expertise in a vertical.

Google has a ton of interaction data to be sure, but the app design decisions of TikTok (auto play, auto loop, easy swipe, easy like, etc.) extract so much more usable/actionable interaction data.

California also requires fingerprints if you want to volunteer at your kid’s school.

Supposedly, they delete them (and don’t add them to the police database) after running them. I wonder how long that will last.

When they introduced car toll rfid tags they claimed something similar, but then broke the promise a few year later (and also stuck license plate recorders all over major streets in the Bay Area.)

The problem with this article, though it presents model checking and state space exploration well, is that it doesn't present weak memory models[1], which are the reality on all multiprocessor/multicore systems these days. Thus is perpetuates misconceptions about concurrent programming. This is a poor example of model checking because it assumes sequential consistency and actually confuses people by reinforcing incorrect assumptions.

[1] With weak memory hardware, it is effectively impossible to write correct programs without using at least one of atomic read-modify-write or barriers, because both compilers and hardware can reorder both reads and writes, to a maddening degree.

He timed the initial meltdown perfectly, because it was just before the domains I'd transferred to WordPress.com's registrar when Google Domains got sold were up for renewal. So the net effect there was that Matt bought me a free year of domain hosting, and drove me away just in time for me to not start paying him.
I've driven in England and New Zealand, and they really had them everywhere.

Yes, we have them in the US, but we don't have enough of them that you can expect that all drivers know what to do with them. It's entirely too common for approaching drivers to be unaware that they must yield to vehicles already in the circle.
AI runs 24/7, not just when the Sun is shining and the wind is blowing. If folks want to put build out limits on AI, that's an option I guess (not a good one IMO). However if AI computation is going to continue to grow, it'll need constant consistent power at all hours.

So we can reuse old reactors with the knowledge gained over the last 50 years of operating nuclear plants or we can have these AI engines running on burning fossil fuels when the renewables aren't at capacity.

1. Stop AI build out in the US

2. Reuse old nuclear reactors

3. Expand fossil fuel plant usage

That's it. Those are the options. Battery storage won't get renewables over the finish line here. Solar and wind should absolutely be in the mix and doing their part in transferring supply away from fossil fuels. Personally I consider global climate change to be the largest threat of our time. Anything that worsens that threat rather than being either neutral or reducing it is a non-starter to me.

Wait until you hear about Canada. The crown will ruin your life by dragging you through the courts for years for something like that, then drop the charges when it’s obvious they’re going to lose as to not set any precedent to be used against them in the future.
A. Is that possibly called deterrence?

B. “Fallen a lot” isn’t the same as “Murder rate lower than Canada.”

C. Your bias is by pointing out how much it has fallen since 2015. This is however an outlier bias - in 2015, El Salvador was the world’s most dangerous country. #1 for murders, by over 30% more than #2. The pre-mass-incarceration rate, though lower, would still be considered dangerous anywhere else. Going from “world’s most dangerous country” to “just a dangerous country” isn’t a victory, and it does not follow that following this, the country would naturally transition to “safe country.”
Yes, I wrote one [1] and others did too, e.g. [2] and [3].

How would a code help? The victim has already bought into the social engineering. If the person on the phone asks the user to read out a code, they will.

Totally agree with this. I enjoy walking through the interior and I like the building overall but I would hate working there.
I've seen people do this a lot. You have to tell Akka/actors which executorService to use. Actors are just a messaging/mailbox abstraction over threads/pools inspired by Erlang. Akka should use a work-stealing service by default, depending on the version, which might explain why non-blocking calculations used only two threads.

If you want my honest to god real world advice:

1) Keep your stable job and don’t hop right now.

2) Why? AI is eating jobs and traditional enterprise companies are a good place to last AWHILE into the end of programming as we know it.

3) I am truly scared of job postings where the company has not pivoted entirely to AI. They sell products that can be reimagined or replaced by AI at the moment, so those jobs are the real ghost jobs. Seriously, all I can think is “how exactly will this company be here in a year, AI can generate a lot of this”.

4) So, stay safe. Stay invested, ride the AI investment thesis up, glide through the end of programming, and exit into the world of basic income/social security into retirement. It’s not a fantasy world out there where you just get to seek out the exact company fit anymore. The economy is being rewritten.
If you are a fellow human who is able to engage in intelligent conversation with me, it is reasonable for me to believe that you possess consciousness of the same kind that I possess.

I don't know any language that has exceptions and also has no try/catch type syntax.

Yes, I said so exactly

> The debate is not really checked exceptions vs Result, it's try/catch vs map_err (and friends)

The fundamentals are the same, you are forced to handle/discard/Buble up any error, but in my mind (and I assume a lot of other developers), the word "exception" means try/catch, even though like I said the fundamentals are the same.

I don’t personally see this a good reason at all.

The US had a good run building neoclassical government buildings in the spitting image of the Romans and Greeks, and we already know that when properly done the aesthetic will stand the test of time for thousands of years.

As far as the improved materials argument that’s up for debate too. Will Boston City Hall be standing in 2,000 years? If I could put money on it I’d say it’s more likely to end up in a landfill.

Of course, the people at the bottom have a pretty solid grasp on what is causing the shrink--and it's all rooted in the fact that they're being paid like shit.

One of the features of public transit--certainly the commuter rail relatively near my house (although I still need to drive to the station)--is that it's often very empty in off-hours but if you don't run (an insufficient number of) those near-empty trains, a lot of people are going to say screw it and drive. I won't take commuter rail into the city for an evening event in part because because I really need to time the return journey--and it takes quite a bit longer.
