Interesting. I read the wiki article and the mayo clinic page on it. School uniforms are not uniformly a bad idea I think. We as a civilization should really focus on removing bullying as memetic virus. It has knock on effects that are larger than we realize, like most forms of harm.

I think most people seem to have it, because I think most people do to some degree, most things are a spectrum. We simply aren't prepared for the world we have accidentally created for ourselves. I personally don't find the pills addictive. Speaking of which, this quite long video, "Dopamine Expert: <clickbait redacted>" is quite good, esp if you are a fan of neurology and neuropsychology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6xbXOp7wDA
I’ve done that from the US as well. Book the ticket from the destination country’s website (google translate is perfectly fine, typically) and pay in the local currency using my no-fx-fee credit card.
Exactly. And HTML and JS were designed exactly for this purpose. Game engines of course have UI elements but the interactivity and use of them is very different.
Historically you are correct that only around 4,000 employees of the US federal government are 'political hires' that the President can change/hire/fire. However in October 2020, Trump ordered Schedule F [0] that effectively increases the number of career bureaucrats that could be made by political appointment rather than by a competitive process. The Order was promptly rescinded by the Biden administration in Jan 2021. [1]

The Trump administration said that they believed Schedule F would increase the number of career positions to roughly 50,000 existing jobs. However many think tanks and union members believe that Schedule F could be interpreted much more broadly and could include well over 100,000 positions.

If the Trump administration revives the Schedule F order, it could mean very significant changes for many career bureaucrats.

I've seen online travel agencies with better prices compared to the airline/hotel website even with fares at the same changes/cancellation policies.

OTOH, I prefer to purchase tickets directly with the airline because dealing with them directly when something happens is way better compared to having the OTA in the middle. Sometimes paying a small difference is worth the peace of mind.
I watched many of his videos. They're pretty good. I dont understand the complaints of click bait. One of the main reasons why he works so well is he makes outlandish premises that seem like clickbait, and then delivers. If he claims they will blow a house up, they literally will pack it with explosives and blow it up. If he says he will show a million dollar hotel room, thats what I'll see in the video. Throw a lambo into a crusher? Its going in for real.

It's not even like he draws it out. Like lets say its time to blow something up as a finale: we see 2-3 shots of them waiting, we see it explode in 3 angles we get 2-3 reactions and boom video is probably over.
Maybe you can clarify what part of the linked comment didn't make sense? It's a bit hard to make out where the confusion is if the above comment didn't help clarify.
Yea, this can be hosted on GitHub pages without any vendor infra (no marimo.app)

These are two separate features:

1) marimo.app + github.com/path/to/nb.ipynb does run on marimo.app infra. this is what the Show HN was about

2) separately, you can use the marimo CLI to export assets to deploy to GitHub page: `marimo export html-wasm notebook.py -o output_dir --mode run` which can then can be uploaded to GH pages. This does not find all the data in your repo, so you would need to stick any data you was to access in a /public folder for your site. More docs here: https://docs.marimo.io/guides/exporting/?h=marimo+export+htm...
This is how autotuning often works yes
Yes, good to do the calculation properly before making the decision if its motivated primarily by finances; sometimes the outcome can be surprising. Ironically speaking specifically about Portland, you'll pay _less_ in taxes moving to e.g. Washington schools in addition to getting better schools. But I think this is likely a special case.
Exactly, I see all these idealized strategies around social media and children but the reality is nothing is going to overcome the peer pressure of being 12 years old and the only kid at school without a phone.

Until schools and government restrict phone ownership in a real way, parents are going to keep giving phones to their 8 year olds.
- As far as labor cost, this is where we need to bring in cheap labor from south of the border, legally, on temporary visas. Win-win for everyone.

- 70 MPH firestorms: Currently houses made of wood are fuel for the fire. When houses are made of concrete and steel the fuel is taken away and fires don't spread as easily. Why don't we hear of fire devastating homes in the Middle East? Because buildings in the Middle East are constructed using concrete and steel. These materials are less likely to ignite and spread fire compared to traditional wooden structures.
Nah I did EE and then CompE (which was just replacing some later EE classes with hardware design stuff) and EE is not "actually really hard" - although people like to put it on a pedastel.

Sue lost hee phone, she used KeePass for everything and didn't back it up. She get some support from IT, what do they do to solve Sue's problem?

They reset her password and 2FA and have her redo them. She probably gets a lecture about backups or she spurns a brand new company policy that "Everyone should now use LastPass and nothing else is supported".

If they as administrators cannot do that, Sue has now lost significant business data, there will be a dexent amount of work stopped to get Sue onboarded again and this is a significant issue.

An auditable log that X reset Sue's password ane 2FA codes at x time while at x location with biometric authentication is pretty secure. If X also ca nnot touch those logs the next strawman falls apart.
> There’s a meme going around about abortion or whatever that says that it’s fine if you’re religious and you want to limit yourself, but your religion shouldn’t limit me

It's interesting that you bring this up, because I know quite a few people who are not religious (agnostic or atheist), one of whom is myself, who still believe that abortion is, if not actual murder, at least tantamount to it, and should not be done except in extreme cases (what exactly counts as an "extreme case" can vary, but the point is that "getting pregnant because of consensual sex that unexpectedly resulted in a pregnancy, and having an abortion to avoid the inconvenience of a pregnancy and then putting the child up for adoption" is not an extreme case). I can't speak to other people's detailed grounds for this belief, but in my own case, I believe that, at some point fairly early in the development of an embryo/fetus (in an online discussion on another forum some years ago I argued that that point was implantation; another such point that was argued by, IIRC, Carl Sagan, is when the fetus first shows brain activity), the embryo/fetus has interests that deserve protection in much the same way that the interests of a very young child who can't yet recognize their own interests or take action to protect them on their own deserve protection.

In other words, I don't buy the argument made by at least a fair number of pro-abortion people that it's all about the woman's control over her own body and no other interest deserves to be weighed. I think there are reasons that even a rationalist humanist should accept, or at least give strong consideration to, for rejecting such an argument.

I'm not trying to argue for such a point of view here; I'm simply describing it to illustrate that I don't think all such disagreements can be boiled down to religious belief. There can be arguments based on considerations that are much more general, to the point where they at least have a claim to be considered by anyone who wants to be a good member of a civil society.

BaitRoute: A web honeypot library to create vulnerable-looking endpoints
I suspect the kinds of salaries that's possible in Silicon Valley only happens because:

(A) Skills are fairly transferable.
(B) There is a lot of employers competing for workers.
(C) An awful lot of value is created along the way.

If you specialize in some tiny part of chip manufacturing, there aren't many places you can transfer your skills.

Even if, in the future, you have multiple chip vendors. They won't all use the same processes, and you might only fit into one role at each of these businesses.

Maybe it's not that simple. But few chip companies have to compete against startups for workers. And that probably won't change.

Not saying the jobs can't be well paid, just that it's not unlikely that it won't be absurd SV level salaries.
It’s not too dissimilar from MLMs, and those are older than the oldest living human, dating at least to the early twentieth century.

I'm not younger and listened to records and used a typewriter. I have a typewriter because it creates an environment that is not a computer. Unlike a phonograph, a typewriter is an entire ecosystem less commodity supplies (a phonograph is useless without the activity selecting and acquiring and storing records).

I don't recommend getting a typewriter. If someone wants to try one, they will do it. And if someone doesn't they won't. They are not for everyone and there is no moral distinction between those two groups.
Adding on, the frame before clearly shows a legal entry.

The vehicle entered the intersection, by crossing the first line of the pedestrian crossing which is out of frame, while the light is yellow. The exit was clear when the vehicle entered the intersection, so there's no violation there, and it may proceed through the intersection. Cross traffic doesn't enter the intersection for a few seconds after it clears; and there are no pedestrians engaged with the intersection either, so there's no safety concern. The next car that goes through the yellow is fully in the intersection on yellow, so there's no question of a violation there, although again they were in the intersection on red although I think that one cleared before the perpendicular traffic got a green, unlike the vehicle in the images.
In the micro, nothing. We'd have a bunch of extra cash we can spend on other stuff.

The overall goal is keeping the US competitive in technology. Both in terms of producing/controlling IP as well as (perhaps even more crucially) remaining a premier destination for technologists from all over the world. The cost of not achieving that goal is... incalculable, but large.

Whether or not this is a good way to achieve that goal is of course up for debate.

For all the talk about Bluesky's lack of real federation I'd call out the "level 0" practice of federation is that you allow people to link out to other platforms, something we're not seeing with the likes of X and Facebook.

A simple (and explicit) commitment to "I saw something I liked on Mastodon, posted a link to Bluesky, and my followers on Bluesky saw it" goes a long way. Frame it as a litmus test (branding, web site and all) and let X and Facebook make a spectacle by refusing to accept it.

How much does salary contribute to the overall cost of operating TSMC? Perplexity said that the average salary of a TSMC employee is $76K a year, and TSMC had about 80K people. So it cost them around $6B a year on salary. In the meantime, their operational cost was about $46B a year, so that's 13%. TSMC shipped about 16 million 12-in wafers. Each 12-inch wafer can make about 300 to 400 chips. Let's say 200 to stay on the conservative side. That will be 3.2B chips a year. That means the cost per chip on salary will be less than $2 a year. It looks HC cost is not that dominant?

I stay in IHG hotels a fair amount booked through work's travel agent - indeed I'm about to check in to one when the train gets in. Always get the points and credited stay.

Don't get them if you book it through booking.com or similar though (although hotels.com at least used to give you a 10% cashback as a credit for free nights, which is handy when you can't stay in one chain)
Buildings in the Middle East are constructed using concrete and steel mostly because wood would need to be imported from 1000 miles away and because the thermal mass of the concrete is very useful for moderating the extremely continental climate.

>Röhm lost Nazi Party support after he was outed and was eventually murdered by Hitler.

He wasn't killed by Hitler because he was gay, as the article and parent comment explain. The first public disclosures of his homosexuality came in 1931. Before that, everyone who mattered in the Nazi party had already known for years. He was killed in 1934 for political reasons.

Homosexuality is also a significant problem among the AfD and its supporters. Röhm's example illustrates that it is not paradoxical for a known homosexual to rise to a position of power within a homophobic party. If even the Nazi party of the 1930s could tolerate known homosexuals within its ranks, that ought to tell us how seriously we should take the argument that the AfD can't be racist or homophobic because of Alice Weidel!

Right, this additional check should not be necessary in a typical OAuth or OIDC flow. This workaround is only necessary in this case because the API Google offers to services has a hole in it.
Looking at llama.cpp, it already supports the logprob field in its OAI API emulation, so it shouldn't be too difficult to use this library with it.

It feels like this would be useful enough to build around -- I especially like the idea of asking the API to return the top K results for each field, and denoting their likelyhood -- almost like a dropdown box with percentages attached for each possible result.
And it's also a pile of shit compared to an iPhone or a Galaxy S device.

There's your real issue right there. People are already paying $1199 for new phones. According to this article: https://www.vox.com/technology/2018/9/13/17851052/apple-ipho...

Another $100. That's a little over six years old now though, so bump it up to $200.

Would I pay $1399 for an American made iPhone with American made internals, as the article suggests it would cost ($100, but I doubled it for inflation, because, why not?)? You bet your sweet ass I would.

I've got one better...

A recruiter called me for a job interview, said I was perfect for the role.

"Sure!", I responded, "Just send me the Job Description, I need it before I interview".

The recruiter was a bit slow on sending the JD through, but eventually did so and organised an interview.

During the interview I was confused as to what the hiring manager was telling me, "I'm confused, the Job Description describes a different role with different technology?", I said while holding the printout in my hand.

"Can I have a look at that?", asked the hiring manager.

"Sure...", I start sliding it across the table when the HR person slams down their hand and snatches it.

"OKAY! MEETING IS OVER!" shrills the HR lady, and we all leave the room in a confused manner.

Afterward, I called the HR lady to follow up on the role, she hangs up, calls the recruiter and angrily tells him to never let interviewees contact the company directly ever again!

...

What happened?!?

I checked the meta-data in the Job Description word document and it was over 3 years old.

I asked another recruiter what they thinked occurred...they replied that the HR lady likely never wrote a Job Description for the role but just called the recruiter asking him to send a body over.

The recruiter, keen to send me through for the interview and collect their payment, found another job description from the company from an old email from the same company and figured it would do.
Yeah, let's funnel tax dollars to AI, so companies can fire office workers.
I had the same thought. I've been in places where the first one would supposedly get you a ticket, as you are intended to stop if safely able to do so. It looked like that might have been the case there, though it isn't clear at all.

The second wasn't even close to running the light.
> I figure that the developers know what they're doing and haven't made them the blessed path yet for a reason.

My take is: flakes don’t align with centralised nixpkgs and ultimately don’t solve any problems that can’t be solved without flakes.

They’re just an interface for a decentralised module system. You can use them, they’re feature-complete, and they don’t align with nixpkgs: it doesn’t make sense for individual packages to have their own flakes, nixpkgs can already be loaded as a flake.

FlakeHub tries to popularise flakes, but I don’t know if there is a flake discovery problem to solve.

Ekala Project is designing a poly-repo alternative to nixpkgs (ekapkgs) and they don’t embrace flakes.

So... Flakes have reached full maturity: a decentralised package format that has stalled its adoption status within the main Nix toolchain.

For one thing I'd be worried that retroreflective tape could be crazy bright in the dark and could blow out the cameras.
It is certainly an option to pre-provision accounts in your application (e.g. Slack) and then have any users authenticating from the SSO product compared against the list of authorized users. And for some products which sell licenses by seat, this is exactly what they do.

But for many products which are meant to be available to an entire organization, this is a big part of what SSO was supposed to solve in the first place: IT no longer has to provision (and de-provision) user accounts in every single application. Maintaining an allowlist in each application makes this pointless.
I mostly agree with this, but with two exceptions. First, I've had surprisingly good experiences with booking.com (no affiliation, just a satisfied user). And second, if you're booking a cruise, it's actually better to book through an agent. The cruise lines all have deals with agencies that forbid the cruise lines from undercutting the agents. If you find the right agent, they will give you kickbacks on their commissions so you actually end up paying less than you would booking direct.
This definition of AGEs is interesting (linked from the article, same site):

"Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) form when proteins and fats (lipids) in the body react with sugar (glucose) and become glycated and oxidized."

I’m trying to think of anything I find useful that I stumbled upon thanks to ads over the past twenty years or so, and I’m pretty much drawing a blank. It certainly seems negligible.

The problem with prohibiting ads is how to prevent (or even define) payed hidden promotions. But tracking and targeted ads could be prohibited, which would already make things much more civil and less relevant as a tech profit center.

It seems likely enough if the situation escalates. The conflict could be anything from a naval skirmish where neither side attacks the other's mainland to a total war scenario. It will likely start as naval-only and become gradually more involved if no side backs down.
