2. Keep the other accounts, just in case.

3. How exactly are remote connections helping? In the Western world, for example, people you haven't interacted with for months and months in real life for sure won't help you financially. For jobs stuff like LinkedIn is probably better, plus regular chats on 1 instant messenger. You don't need Instagram to keep up with them.
I appreciate that link, but Dynamic relaxation is a much larger impact on velocity than required to be significant here. It’s still large enough to probably make such interactions meaningless on these timescales but it’s close.

We’re not talking about what humans call “a moment”. For a (modern) computer, a millisecond is “a moment”, possibly even “a long moment”. It can run millions of instructions in such a time frame.

A modern CPU also has multiple cores not all of which may be needed, and will be supported by hardware that can do lots of tasks.

For example, sending out an audio signal isn’t typically done by the main CPU. It tells some hardware to send a buffer of data at some frequency, then prepares the next buffer, and can then sleep or do other stuff until it has to send the new buffer.

I'm pretty sure when machine-made cloth started in the 1700s or so, people complained its quality was worse than handmade cloth by experts.

The trend to fast fashion and now ultra-fast-fashion, driven by ever-increasing marketing pressure to buy the latest, constantly-changing trends, despite expose after expose showing its huge environmental impact, shows that education wouldn't be enough.

How would one even evaluate cloth material quality online? We know the ads for a Hardee McWopper Burger show some amazing looking hamburgers made using exactly the same ingredients as sold by the stores; a look achieved by expert designers and photographers. I expect the exemplar used for online marketing will be equally ... optimized .. for appearance.

Those are factors for why I don't do online clothes shopping.
That's Super Awesome, I know, this is a dumb comment, but, come on!!!
It's not there to give the system administrator flexibility. It's there because early Unix was heavily constrained, and doing thing with lots of little overlays (and what was decades later known as "Bernstein chaining") rather than 1 big program was the way to architect stuff. exit(1), goto(1), and if(1) were all external commands in the Thompson shell.

Floods do a lot of damage. Some areas, esp around the M5, are becoming uninsurable. Flash flooding is increasing and the UK doesn't have the infrastructure to deal with it. There's also the issue of food security, because climate change is very obviously affecting crop yields.

If the AMOC flips the UK and Europe will have a completely different, far less hospitable landscape.

Meanwhile in the Med increasing temps are making extreme flash floods much more likely (Valencia, for example) and fires are becoming more common in drier areas, like Greece.

This seems very software-centric. You can do this today - e.g. Red Bull famously outsources basically everything but marketing[0], so they already have very few employees. However they do have a lot of suppliers, and that all needs managing.

[0] Their marketing is either simple TV ads or incredibly complex stuntwork and extreme sports.

I’m not sure you read this part of the comment you’re replying to:

You’re making points that women can be physically strong. Nobody is doubting this, the parent was providing evidence that these women themselves say they are not strong.

I don't care either way since I'm not concerned but I can shake how bizarre and grotesque the switch to and from DEI were.

Not everything in life is a scientific experiment that fits into an
undergraduate "research methods" model of the world.

What does it even mean to conduct a sampling of "findability" within a
system whose results depend on when you search, who you are, where you
search from, and the subject on which you're searching? We're way
beyond Schrodinger's cat level of uncertainty with these
non-deterministic systems and their hidden actors explicitly
manipulating the results (as "guardrails", "moderation", whatever).

Search (and AI) is a principal agent problem and there are insoluble
trust issues around information technology today that make a
"scientific" approach rather naive.
There are large parks, and much of London is leafy. The limiting factor is wind. So far it's extremely unusual in the UK to have very dry conditions with strong winds, so fires are much less likely to spread.

This is such an infuriating problem with these companies. Generative AIs hold promise, but they all rushed to inject these features, which are in its infancy, directly interfering with the user experience.

In iOS, if you search in settings for something in the realm of Apple Intelligence. The results will be dominated by Apple Intelligence results, which is a good chance that that's not what you want. On Amazon.com, they threw their entire review history into Rufus, and the results are often are just plain outdated and wrong. It's still garbage in, garbage out with generative AI, and these companies have completely ignored that.
It's very country specific. I'm from Romania and I think there were obituaries in newspapers, but I'm having a hard time thinking of people I know that did it.
With cars there’s more fatalities per mile in rural areas than urban ones. For pedestrians being killed that flips but not by a huge degree.

It seems counterintuitive that despite being human car interactions being vastly more common in urban areas you see so many rural fatalities but accidents occur in unusual situations.

> They are simply far less likely to hurt someone else.

There’s nuance here. They are more likely to injure a pedestrians in a bike pedestrian crash. However cyclists will be more likely to die because they end up in traffic after an accident.

Old people just don’t handle falls well.
> The suggested code works but is absolute junior level

This isn't far the current status quo. Good software companies pay for people who write top quality code, and the rest pay juniors to work far above their pay grade or offshore it to the cheapest bidder. Now it will be offloaded to LLM's instead. Same code, different writer, same work for a contractor who knows what they're doing to come and fix later.

And so the cycle continues.
Also, I think dang once mentioned there's a lot of business code for YC tangled up in the forum that they would have to remove.

This is no surprise. It's what we get with a free market and capitalism driving it:

People have been doing that since the dawn of humanity.
I understand the desire for takedown requests on truly infringing content. But there will always be people who exploit those tools for bad faith takedowns, and because this kind of moderation is a loss leader for companies like Google and Bing it seems like they will forever be disincentivized from doing a good job. (We constantly hear similar stories about Youtube copyright strikes.)

We have a legal system that's subject to public scrutiny and supposed to handle cases of "law-breaking." In its current incarnation there's no way for it to handle every single claim, but I wonder if investment there wouldn't be better incentivized than having a bunch of tech companies trying to reduce expenses by always choosing the "easiest" option whenever they receive a takedown request.
> Nobody is doubting this, the parent was providing evidence that these women themselves say they are not strong.

Yeah and that's where the last sentence with the skill I wrote comes into play. Instead of just "manhandling" said husband and carry him in the front of you, lift him on your back, and anyone too heavy for that will also be too heavy for most male firefighters (bodybuilders are rare, especially in volunteer corps most people will be of average strength and body stature). That's also one part of why firefighters always go in pairs (besides providing backup for personal safety) - you never know who and what you come across.

Besides: Carrying a person in front of oneself is a movie cliche about firefighters, it's extremely rare to see it in practice and banned outside of actual life-and-death emergencies because it's dangerous as fuck - trip over a hose or debris and suddenly you're falling with the full weight of you and your gear onto the already injured person, possibly injuring yourself in the process. Not nice.
Maybe. I want to agree with the proposition but you've put a negative in the question, so I don't know if that means I say yes or no here.

With an average US blood lead level of about 1 microgram per deciliter, an increase of 76% is still less than 2 micrograms per deciliter which would have an imperceptible impact on any neurological function for an individual. People with even a tenfold (1000%) increase above baseline don't show perceptible coordination problems. Not writing to have an argument. Just see a lot of people who suffer from misperception of the impacts of tiny levels of contaminants, people lose sleep non-stop worry, sometimes even lose the equity in their "contaminated" house by walking away from their loan due to misinformation about risk.

The rapid switch is indicative of widespread preference falsification followed by a preference cascade. Basically, people where sick of DEI for a long time but stayed quiet about it because they were afraid of reprisal for speaking out and didn't know they had numbers on their side because everybody else was staying quiet about it too. This is a condition which can last for decades, but once the dam breaks it breaks fast.

> There are a ton of products on the market that are vastly more dangerous than computers

The thing with chainsaws and motorcycles is that they look and feel dangerous, and people have an intuitive understanding of how to approach those dangers.

If you ask a random person on the street about safe motorcycle riding, they'll probably tell you about respecting speed limits, wearing protective gear, only doing it when sober, not pulling stunts / showing off etc. I've never been on a motorcycle, have 0 interest in them, and I know those things.

Computers don't work that way. People can't distinguish between a real banking app and a fake banking app that looks real, an update pop-up and a fake "you need to update Adobe Flash Player" pop-up on a phishing website etc.

I've done plenty of "helping non-technical people out with computers" during my middle / secondary school days. That was when people still used Windows a lot, as opposed to doing everything on their phones. Most computers I've seen back then had some app that hijacked your start page, changed your search engine to something strange, would constantly open random websites with "dpwnload now free wallpapers and ring tones for your mobile now" etc. You didn't even have to fall for a scam to get something like that, plenty of reputable software came with such "add-ons", because that's how you made money back then.

I feel like that era of "total freedom" has somehow been erased from our minds, and we're looking at things through rose-tinted glasses. I, for one, vastly prefer the world of personalized ads and invasive surveillance over one where I constantly have to be on alert for my default browser being changed to Google Chrome for the hundredth time this year, just because I decided to update Skype.

> and impossible to enforce.

You don't have to enforce it for every single manufacturer and every single product. If you enforce it for Apple, Samsung and a couple other big Android brands, you'll get most smartphones.

Now whether it is a good idea or not, I don't know. But if you wanted to enforce it, I think it wouldn't be too hard. Banks get a ton of regulations and have to apply them all the time. Surely Apple or Samsung could do that, too.

CVE-2024-56433
Curious your thoughts on severity here. I'm having multiple debates with several people regarding impact. While it's a trivial misconfiguration of defaults, it seems there's a mixed consensus depending on who you speak to. In speaking with directors from regulated entities, this is a major problem. Yet, in speaking with folks in some unregulated entities, there's mixed feelings.

However, here's one that someone brought up to me: wouldn't a user getting arbitrarily assigned random usable subordinate UID/GID's technically violate the concept of "zero trust" ?
That would lead to feature creep and bloat and undermine the minimalist purity of the layout. They do make improvements to the forum, but only on their own schedule and very selectively. Hacker News is a cathedral, not a bazaar.

Portuguese has the word "mestre" from the same Latin origin. Since it has evolved in a separate context, it may give a glimpse of the original meaning, way before slavery. A "mestre", in Portuguese, is one of three concepts:

- Someone who has mastered some art;

- A teacher;

- The lead artisan in a team, the one who has mastered the art, teaches and leads.

The slave master is a very narrow interpretation on these meanings, and the woke push against the word is myopic. The word has a long history, none of it connected to slavery.
