> Is uncut currency legal tender?

> Yes. The individual notes on uncut currency sheets are legal tender.
Are you a tunneling engineer?

That over 90% of projects are using TBMs strongly suggests they're usually the better option.
The token isn’t being verified in my service it is being verified in a remote service. I can’t easily change the clock on the remote service. It runs in a K8S pod and (AFAIK) K8S doesn’t support time namespaces. And even if it does, the pod is deployed by a custom K8S operator so unsure if I could make the operator turn that on even if it is available. And the remote service is a complex monolith which uses lots of RAM so trying to run it on my own laptop will be painful
This is key. I remember when Google came out. It was amazingly better than anything else I'd tried up to the point. By contrast, I'd argue that OpenAI's advantage is smaller today than it was when they launched GPT3 in 2020.
The one that irked me the most was his cameo for a dubious crypto startup https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38855645

What kind of message a person who is getting paid by the platform is going to have?

I'm overall not very trusting of his opinion on the current tech. Yes, he had cofounded Apple, and created the first machines but I don't see anything significant that he created after that. He did start a company in 2020 that was backed by the WOZX token (https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/04/apple-co-founder-steve-wozni...).

I joined a research project a while back that was mostly about squeezing performance out of something and testing various configurations. The previous researcher had set up a fancy metric collector that was cumbersome, besides also affecting the performance a little. I replaced it with printf + a Python script that parses logs.

That said, I was pleasantly surprised I was able to attach a debugger to that system. Some bugs really needed it.

What an extraordinary claim!

My job, today, is dealing with a vast influx of various types of email that all need categorising and a range of different actions. Not very dead at all from where I'm standing.
In a past life I sold Kirby vacuum cleaners.

You began your lead generation process by making cold calls, starting with your family and friends before expanding outward.

Securing an appointment with a potential customer allowed you to demonstrate the product directly in their home or office. A key part of the sales presentation in people’s homes involved vacuuming the customer’s mattress using a black cloth, secured with an elastic band, instead of the usual vacuum bag. As the demonstration progressed, the accumulated debris—dirt, dust, and dead skin—would inevitably overwhelm the elastic band, causing the black cloth to burst off and release a cloud of white dust into the air. This shocking and unpleasant visual often left customers both disgusted and embarrassed, making it easier to close the $800 vacuum cleaner sale.

Horrible business. Product was pretty good though.
Reminds me of short story The Phools, by Stanislav Lem.

No. That would be incredibly annoying and it's probably why docker overrides it as it would cause all manner of confusion.

Germany (and others) printed at a lower rate. If it was a momentary phenomenon, they would have appreciated against the dollar and seen less inflation. Instead they depreciated against the dollar and saw more inflation.

Because they had a greater supply shock.
Good god there are a shit tonne of morons in this thread. Please do not listen to these morons pushing an agenda about "medication bad".

ADHD is a difficult diagnosis. I have it. I have struggled with my mind since I was young, now early 30s with a diagnosis a few months prior.

Medication has been the most effective route, and has amplified all my good qualities and allows me to relax and focus, rather than being extremely overwhelmed and unable to focus.

The difference in my happiness is night and day on medication.

ADHD is one of the "best" "issues" to have, in that the medication for it is super effective and has minimal side-effects. Also, you only get an ADHD diagnosis if it is causing issues. ADHD is a spectrum etc.

You can do all the self-help in the world, without medication it is hard to overcome the major issues (relationships/mood).

With the medication, you can build healthier habits, which in turn allow you to use the medication less :)

Good luck
It is clear that the main cause of the disaster was the landing in the middle of the runway and at excessive speed. However, if instead of that concrete wall there had been, for example, an extension of the runway filled with some material that could help dissipate the kinetic energy, perhaps the death toll would have been lower.
Assume words don't contain numbers and numbers don't contain words, then provide a convenient UI for selecting alternatives?

For fielded input matching known patterns, recognition can also be constrained by pattern matching and general validation rules (e.g., VINs are 17 characters long, cannot contain the letters I, O, or Q, and, given prior information in other fields, can be further constrained by manufacturer code, model year, and by requiring a correct check digit).
> The individual notes on uncut currency sheets are legal tender.

It doesn't say that the whole sheet would be considered as a collection of legal tender. So far I see that the individual notes are legal tender, it doesn't say what happens if you cut it. Everything it says is about uncut currency sheets.

Both things can be true. Companies vacuum up massive amounts of personal data. And then they run it through crummy algorithms that are designed to increase the number of people who fit into a given category instead of accurately finding only the people who really ought to be in that category.
That’s why you don’t answer phone calls with „yes” as sometimes they would say your name and you would be inclined replying „yes, speaking”.

Just heard stories some shitty companies/sales would push you over they have your „yes” on recording. I don’t believe it would hold in any court if they would have to play the whole thing. But it would work on people who are not so tough.

Sattelite TV sellers were awful they almost got my mother to buy second one because they told her BS new one will void competition contract and then sales rep was pushy she wanted to back out - good thing was she did not sign anything before asking me.

So yeah I have seen some pushy idiots pushing old people or not confident people into signing stuff.
$1.25 was a few months ago at a Toronto Freshco. 900g Italpasta. I seemed to be the only weirdo stocking up for the next 1-2 years.

Managed to find the 798ml cans of beans for 1.25 (I think it was) in the last few months at a No Frills. Def local production. Again, was the only weirdo stocking up for the next 1-2 years. Yeah dry beans are cheaper but I’m lazy.

You may also find me filling my cart when 798ml cans of crushed tomatoes go on sale, which is more common than the above sales.
Show HN: I made a free AI diagram generator
Hi HN, I have made a free ai diagram generator. You can use it to create various types of diagrams with AI, like gantt diagram to planning a project, or mind map to visualize the knowledge . The diagram is generated with explanation as well and if you satisfied with the result after several rounds of refinement. You can generate a page, either share with others or embed in you note taking app.
Everything is free now. Looking for feedback, especially on the refinement workflow and sharing integration and what other diagram types would be useful?
Well, it's not like people pulled it out of thin air. Both inflation and the lambda-CDM models are solutions to the GR equations, so in that sense it's perfectly justifiable to see if general relativity can explain the data. I don't think it's fair to say that it "makes no logical sense".

That's a good point.

However, I think for the entity to do that in practice, the entity would need to also own the trademark and the Github repo (or wherever development takes place). So there's no real risk to assigning copyright to the FSF if the FSF doesn't also own the trademark and the Github repo.
That seems a very car-centric or American view, with cities built on a grid.

Older cities without existing grids can have older metro lines following streets (a limitation of the time they were built, by cut and cover) but newer ones generally don't follow streets. They provide more direct routes, and new crossings over rivers or to islands.

Look at Prague or especially Copenhagen for example.

Not my original idea, I got it from some Oracle products which have a similar feature (most notably Oracle Database)
"Let OKRs highlight a special focus. Don’t try to cram everything you do into them"

Then link compensation to OKRs then everybody just focuses on bending the reality to meet the letter of the OKR and nobody is interested in doing their job.

After the "oh shit" moment, we cram everything we do into them.

Then everybody ignores OKRs.
Appealing to be recorded in secret is a weird one to read in the morning. Another solution to your problem that respects the law is for them to not record you.
> One of the few examples I can think of however is Apple Maps. And it did get better; a lot better, some say better than Google Maps nowadays.

This depends on where (which country) you live. For all the ways Apple has been vocal about the Indian market and local production, Apple Maps literally sucks even in major cities in India. Google Maps is decades ahead and gets updated very quickly. Apple Maps cannot even find regular addresses or places.

Apple has its share of incompetencies and willful blind spots, and that shows up in specific areas often related to its services (Apple Intelligence is also a service). The organization and its people are not built for handling these effectively or quickly.

That said, I have more hope in Apple Intelligence improving quicker (at least in English, while competitors are already ahead in other languages, including several Indian languages) than I have in Apple Maps improving in India.

> LLMs are awesome but I haven't felt significant improvement since the original GP4 (only in speed).

Taking the outside view here - maybe you don't "feel" like it's getting better. But benchmarks aside, there are now plenty of anecdotal stories of scientists and mathematicians using them for actual work. Sometimes for simple labor-saving, but some stories of actually creative work that is partially/wholly based on interactions with LLMs. This is on top of many, many people using this for things like software development, and claiming that they get significant benefits out of these models.
It is already big a deal to change the images on currency (no matter what country). Given the US dollar is viewed as somewhat of a standard, you can imagine that to change its size/shape would be quite difficult to generate enough political enthusiasm for.
the best part about hiring a hacker when you find a really reliable one is that you would be able to execute all the previous imaginations you had and what and what not to hack , I was able to get him to do other hack services for me successfully after I was sure about his ability to make this happen , dehacklord at g mail dot com is the answer to all your questions , I hope this post finds the right people who need him
> There is little mystery to how large language models function and it's clear that their output is parroting back portions of their training data

If this were true, then you would be able to identify the specific work being "parroted" and you'd have a case for copyright infringement regardless of whether it was produced by an LLM at all. This isn't how LLMs work though. For instance, if an LLM's training data includes the complete works of a given author and then you prompt the LLM to write a story in the style of that author, it will actually write an original story instead of reproducing one of the stories in its training corpus. It won't be particularly good but it will be an original work.

It also isn't obvious whether or not, or to what degree, LLM training works differently from human learning. You yourself acknowledged that there are "many open questions" about how human learning works, so how can you be so confident that it's fundamentally different? It doesn't matter anyway because you can still apply the exact same standards to LLM output to judge whether it infringes copyright that you would to something that was produced by a human being.
Merging PREEMPT_RT (real-time) into the Linux kernel only occurred in Sept, 2024, after 20 years of work, in part due to a fundamental conflict with printk(), the traditional "printf" of Linux, widely used for kernel debugging. Linus is unwilling to forego printf debugging in the kernel, and has blocked significant evolutions of Linux on its behalf.

That counts for a lot to me. Anti-printf people have to go a long way to convince me that it's somehow not ok. I use debuggers every day. I use some form of printf debugging every day. I use whatever affordance I can get my hands on, and I ignore the peanut gallery.
Right, so it would provide a solution to the specific problem I'm taking about.
It seems that the A* algorithm is not delivering the performance I was hoping for, so I am trying a new approach.
Are there any existing cases, by any chance?
If not, I would like to hear your thoughts on this approach.
All this is true, but none applies to the project under discussion.

As an aside, I expect any kind of "backup humanity" goal would almost certainly be easier, more sustainable, and more likely to succeed on land than under water.

On the other hand if we messed up badly enough to require a backup, I'm not sure we deserve it.
I've spent plenty of time with various debuggers for various platforms and languages, both graphical and CLI-based, and it really doesn't matter to what I said. A debugger may be someone's preferred tool anyway, sure, but the cases where it's actually non-trivially improving workflow are relatively rare. Most of the time it just makes you a bit faster, if at all.
> it doesn't say what happens if you cut it.

It does though?

> Can I cut uncut currency sheets? What happens if the notes on my sheet were cut apart?

> Because the individual notes on uncut currency sheets are legal tender, they may be cut apart and spent. Were you to do this, they would only be valued at their face value, even though you would have paid more than their cumulative value for the uncut currency sheet.
One thing I'd love to know - how do you balance time spent "building" vs. time spent "researching"?

The writing, I understand - you do it relatively quickly because of a lot of practice. But I feel like just reading up on the AI news every week takes up a significant amount of time - time that can't be spent researching/building things.

I'm wondering how you balance that.
Maybe, but how does wheat protein compare to rice protein?
Fair enough, I agree he's super out of touch, just wanted to make sure he wasn't speaking at something really really bad.

To save anyone else a google: he is indeed behind a crypto project properly it seems, and the token looks very much like a rug[1], and the cameo thing is real and it seems odd he's not savvy enough to do some background on it/know not to shill NFTs[2]. Speaking fee thing doesn't bother me personally, even I'm on one of those stupid things, they give pretty huge retainers and the money is great. Saw Woz is charging 100k an event, ha!

Watchpoints can tell you which function is causing the variable to change, making printf's conditional cannot.
> Another solution to your problem that respects the law is for them to not record you

You'd run a customer-service operation that has no record of who said what?
The thing I cannot fathom is why quarters are so huge, considering they’re nearly valueless. Then you need whole stacks of $1 bills to pay anything relevant. I find both constantly cluttering up my wallet.
At my university, when they taught us C++ (and later C), they told everyone to log into this central server running Linux. They taught everyone to use Emacs and write Makefiles, and then we were supposed to be able to do all our assignments like that. They did briefly explain object files and linking while explaining how to write Makefiles.

However, in practice, most people figured out an IDE setup on their own time and would run the code on their own computer.
There were enough to make searching worthwhile. Then people switched to half-dollars. I assume the supply is cleaned out now, though.

I did get a silver quarter in circulation maybe a decade ago, in change at a pop-up farmer's market stand. I recognized it immediately: it's a whiter, more satiny look.

That could also be due to the high attenuation at 6ghz. Unless your neighbor has a device transmitting on it, it’s way less likely you’d see it.

This hits hard.

I enjoyed reading that far more than I expected, even if I did keep glancing at the scroll bar and wondering if the juice would be worth the squeeze. The meta-commentary at the end (maybe this Slate article will finally seal a book deal) felt faintly reminiscent of the end of the Stephen King "Dark Tower" novels.
The US has last partially defaulted on its currency in 1971, surely a change of the design is possible too.
When was the last time you changed a $5 bill at a carwash?
IMO the primary issue is that the US still has people on it.

In a democracy it should be the values of the country that should be represented not individuals.

Everyone from left to right should be able to agree on what the US stands for. How one gets there is what people argue about.
I understand your concerns and I too have my concerns which is why the goal is not to try to replace the usage of the Quran, scholars or our own need to seek knowledge. We can't shy away from the use of new technology but we should also be cautious. I cite references that are used for the search context and those are visible. Essentially one should not offload their reasoning to a machine but something that has the ability to search a knowledge base and offer summarisation is a valuable tool. Again not a replacement for scholars or students it knowledge. But something to consider.
Please cite some examples of how the U.S. treats disabilities as personal failings, compared to specific other countries.
This is true. Craig Federighi and others have said in the past that they’ve added machine learning based features for a long time in the OS (with examples). It’s just that generative AI took off very quickly and now some people are imagining that it’s the only (or major) AI.
On the contrary, it’s the immigrants that understand it better than the native born.
I'm working on operationalizing AI, and our Turing test is if—by watching a screenshare of the AI worker—you can tell an AI worker (vs. a human) did the task.

If you can't, the AI worker passes the test.
Oh sure. Colonies on Mars are a complete fantasy right now. They start and end with Mars's lack of a magnetic field.

could we create a self-sufficient habitat underwater? Probably. But given that it would lack key abilities (heavy industry for example) it would inevitably decay (Probably quite quickly.)
The caveat should be (as it's always been) only radiate as much as you actually need to, and not having/buying sufficient shielding is not an acceptable "need to" argument. Microwaves share spectrum with WiFi but unless something is horribly wrong turning on a microwave doesn't jam every wifi access point within a mile.

I agree though, reasonable EIRP is something we need to talk about. For instance, there should probably be more of a logarithmic equation for calculating an EIRP alternative that allows more effective power in beam forming systems but to a sane limit. In other words, don't handicap people trying to be responsible with where they send signals but that doesn't mean you can build an absolute laser of an antenna array and start screaming at satellites coming over the hill behind your receiver.
But they were all of them deceived?
