Being trans is identity, but being transphobic is ideology. Being a transphobe does not alter your identity in any way, nor change how you are referred to in society. Denying someone their identity and disrespecting someone in a professional setting is toxic and hostile.

If you want to be an asshole at home, you're free to do so insofar that it is legal. But if you want to be an asshole at work, that should not be enshrined in the same way as religious belief as pg suggests.

Unless you think it should be allowed, but what level of assholery is allowed? Is assholery against trans people the only assholery allowed? Is it okay to be an asshole to disabled people too? To women? To someone of a different color?
Does this mean that Ukraine doesn't have to hack them to fly anymore?
Or just adopt eID. I just signed a petition to ensure free and safe abortion in the EU and I could sign with eID from over 20 nations. Get with the program.
> Could someone show a legit reason to use 1000-character filenames?

1023 byte names can mean less than 250 characters due to use of unicode and utf-8. Add to it unicode normalization which might "expand" some characters into two or more combining characters, deliberate use of combining characters, emoji, rare characters, and you might end up with many "characters" taking more than 4 bytes. A single "country flag" character will be usually 8 bytes, usually most emoji will be at least 4 bytes, skin tone modifiers will add 4 bytes, etc.

this ' ' takes 27 bytes in my terminal, '󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿' takes 28, another combo I found is 35 bytes.

And that's on top of just getting a long title using let's say one of CJK or other less common scripts - an early manuscript of somewhat successful Japanese novel has a non-normalized filename of 119 byte, and it's nowhere close to actually long titles, something that someone might reasonably have on disk. A random find on the internet easily points to a book title that takes over 300 bytes in non-normalized utf8.

P.S. proper title of "Robinson Crusoe" if used as filename takes at least 395 bytes...
This makes me want to go back to making a custom keyboard again. The feature to scan your hands is interesting, but I can't seem to get it to work at all. I got it to measure the length of my digits, but when it came to measuring how flexible they are I could never get it to complete. On top of that the detection seemed to freak out a lot and the right hand model was screwed up. Overall this does seem really cool, but more something I'll bookmark to try later.
Is that a quote? I'm not American.
I did the same. But sometimes I wonder if that’s why I’m so unfocused today.
I think routing not being shortest path (nor being consistent) is the biggest issue with this method.
I think the purpose of orders like this is not "we'll have the rocket engines and nobody else will".

I think it's more like "we don't want our AI/rocket engines used in ways we'd feel awful about" or "used in ways that hurt us"

It's not really a question of growing or destroying other nations' trust.
Nice sentiment but this is advice for rich people. And with Trump installed as VC puppet, it's gonna get worse WLB-wise on average (not just for devs).
I don't think you've translated it properly. The translation sounds as though the state/government is performing the crime; the intention (I hope!) is that the state/government is tallying the numbers.
Putin is attacking Ukraine right now. There have been various coups and attempted coups around the world. Nigeria and South Korea both come to mind.
I only have second hand accounts but I've heard the Instagram CEO just hated having employees in London (/ outside of the US) and therefore started with closing Instagram positions there. Then the rest is following.

And to be clear I'm not sure a UK employee is that much cheaper than a US one. The salary is not THAT far off between the two, especially when converting from GBP to USD, and employers have a lot more social charges to pay on top of salaries in the UK and Europe.

If you add the cost of collaborating across very spread timezones, I really don't think hiring outside of the US is that much cheaper.
Having a STEM degree isn’t a substitute for real world experience in a production facility.

Clustering is a feedback loop where production creates people with experience in production, something needs to kickstart that process.
> Priggishness means self-righteous, performative morality. Can you give an example of this that is normal for US right-wingers?

The first that sprung to mind:

> An update by the ALA's Office for Intellectual Freedom recently released preliminary data stating, "between January 1 and August 31, 2023, OIF reported 695 attempts to censor library materials and services and documented challenges to 1,915 unique titles - a 20% increase from the same reporting period in 2022." Many of the book titles targeted were BIPOC and LGBT groups. The book bans are largely the result of laws passed in Republican-led states.

Constructing elegant, deeply nested sentences is an art in English as well as German (my first language). But it is an art, more for connoisseurs than those who really need to communicate.

An art that I appreciate more is at the opposite end. Constructing elegant prose out of relatively simple sentences, like Ernest Hemingway.

"He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish the boy's parents had told him that the old man was now definitely and finally salao, which is the worst form of unlucky, and the boy had gone at their orders in another boat which caught three good fish the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his skiff empty and he always went down to help him carry either the coiled lines or the gaff and harpoon and the sail that was furled around the mast. The sail was patched with flour sacks and, furled, it looked like the flag of permanent defeat."

Long sentences for sure, but is there any nesting in there at all? I can't see any.
Thanks for flagging -- fixed.
NASA's Metallic Orbs: The Surprising Briefing Everyone Missed
Hard to read this with all the ads cluttered in.

Ironically, Safari would render this cleanly with 1 click.
Theoretically yes! Unfortunately there's no API with more restrictive permissions :P

Good point around releasing the source code for self-hosting. The only painful parts are that I two commercial services here and there for stealth proxying requests to fetch articles like (https://www.scrapingbee.com/) and Puppeteer on Cloudflare Workers (https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-rendering/platform...) to generate PDFs, so it's like $50/month to self-host something that actually works

But maybe if I open source this others can contribute too and find ways to make this cheaper to run
It hasn't been a problem here in Maine, but Portland is an extremely relaxed place. The intersection outside my apartment is quite literally a cliche'd Indian street style free for all with a set of lights that offer suggestions, but people wait for pedestrians and nobody honks.
Not to be too presumptuous, but you sound like someone would might like Gentoo. It still works without systemd, though it does install sys-apps/systemd-utils (mostly for the /dev FS stuff). I'd say the focus of Gentoo is on "managing choice", and it is true that some choices can make your system(s) diverge from the most frequent instances floating around (but those tend to be systemd-based these days). It's still pretty decent, though. I've been incrementally upgrading the same basic install since Jan, 2007. Of course, you may already know all about it and have other opinions.
True, but compared to the amount of production I would guess these are only a few people.
I disagree. From what I've seen, the lower level you go, the more advanced it is seen by other developers. As the copypasta goes:

At the beginning, there was Purusha. From his face, born was the Brahmin, the priestly caste, the tooling creator, one who develops programming languages, compilers and standard libraries.

From the arms of the Purusha, Kshatriya, the warrior caste, was born. Kshatriya is the developer of systems software; operating systems, database engines, graphics drivers and high performance networked servers.

Then comes the Vaishya, the merchant caste, the Application developer, who was born from the knees of Purusha. From the feet of Purusha, the fourth varnā, Shudrā, the system administrator, was born. Shudrā serves the above three Varnās, his works range from administrating computers in bureaucratic organizations to replying to support requests.
It's amazing how many parts they fit into such a tiny space, isn't it? Those things are little marvels.

It's a potentiometer most of the time, BTW. Encoders are on the spendy "digital servos"
Can you actually provide solid examples of this. How can a game that is explicitly about political themes and intrigue not shove it in your face.
I feel like a failure.

This looks like a VS Code fork + API calls to Chat GPT.

If only I would have been paying attention to market trends back when I was first exposed to machine learning in 2018...

I'm almost 40, and it looks like I'll have to keep working past that!
If you want high quality affordable servo motor, I highly recommend the clearpath from teknic.
I've said this for a while too. People got mad when their chronological feeds disappeared, and I think it should be kept around as a separate view you can pop into (and this does exist on twitter), but people follow so many accounts, and those accounts post so much, chances are when you go into the chronological feed, you won't see anything that really interests you. That's my experience any time I go into the Following tab on twitter.

It seems much wiser to seed out a new post from someone to a few people's feeds, see if it gets their interest, and if so, boost it to more people that would be interested.
I think that's a bit reductive, but I get the intent. A lot of people see systemic problems in their development and turn to tools to reduce the cognitive load, busywork, or just otherwise automate a solution. For example "we always argue over formatting" -> use an automated formatter. That makes total sense as long as managing/interacting with the tool is less work, not just different work.

With Nix I still think it's a net positive, but the "different kind of work" side of the equation is pretty large. That's why we're building Flox [1]. The imperative user interface of a package manager (flox install, flox search, etc) that builds out a declaratively-configured, reproducible, cross-platform developer environment. I really think it nails the user experience by keeping that "different work" side of the equation small, and (I hope) just gets out of your way.

Trump says he will create 'External Revenue Service' to collect tariff income
I do this too, but I use 3 years instead of 10. I think that's mostly due to the idea that lifetime memberships are most often offered by start ups that can be very short lived.
This is really cool! I unfortunately don't have a reMarkable but I run a similar "free personalized email digest" service https://www.getchangelog.com mainly for people following changes to tools / services / Github repos & other RSS feeds.

Wonder if you'd be willing to add email support? Anyways, great work, and I love the design. It really matches the design ethos of reMarkable.
ChatGPT has at least been trained on a variety of textual musical notations. It will generate chord charts or drum patterns. In the past I've asked it to generate chord progressions demonstrating various music theory concepts.
I don't think "drink gas" is a reasonable rebuttal, better to actually provide some kind of a reference[1].

Yeah, we have one application like that, a big gantry that would be a pain to home. Interestingly, the high res absolute encoder is also used to commutate the servo (it's sine) but the teaching of the commutation is a little nerve wracking. Maybe I'm getting old but the whole setup stresses me out
I completely understand why you would behave this way, but I would absolutely not apply to the same place. I've never hired someone I've seen twice. I'm sure it could theoretically happen (hell, it's likely to happen for a certain pair of personality and company) but the first rejection is generally a precedent for the second.
If you're using a proxy, I don't think whether or not the source device is in the region changes anything. The only variance is in the time from where traffic exits the proxy to servers.
> could see SpaceX sending one or two Starships every launch window (so every two years) by 2035

I could see this by the 2026 window. Unmanned, granted, but there is a lot we need to learn about Mars, and Starship upgrades us from a horse to a train. (I’d also move up human landings to the 2030s. This is hard, but not unfathomably hard.)

Where I think you’re off is colonisation in the 2050s. City on Mars is a good summary, but in short, we have a lot of problems to solve before permanent settlement (versus a permanent base with a rotating crew à la the ISS) is in reach. (For starters, we have zero trauma medicine for low gravity, we don’t know how to build closed-loop environmental systems, the Martian surface is essentially a planetwide superfund site, et cetera.)
>I don't think you're going to find an LLM with a large enough context window to have a meaningfully involving story spanning multiple sessions

You don't need to provide every single previous information to llm, use LLM to summarise previous ones and it gets really compact. It works quite well.
I think once he started working out and getting strong, he looked less like an android and more like a human male. His politics may have shifted as a result of building muscle:

Could be an error but it also means they have the worst automated flagging system of all time
This is brilliant. Excited to dive in and understand how it works.
Ask HN: What if ChatGPT let you mix custom GPTs as tools?
So you know how there are all these fancy AI agent frameworks out there where you can give agents different tools to use? I was thinking - what if we could do something similar but super simple right in ChatGPT?
Like imagine this:

-Open ChatGPT

-Pick which custom GPTs you want as "tools"

-Just chat normally

-ChatGPT figures out when to use which tool

That's it! No coding, no complicated setup. Just pick your tools and chat.
For example if you picked a coding GPT and a math GPT as tools, you could just ask stuff and ChatGPT would know when to use which one to help you.

Maybe in the future we could even create and share our own agents just like we do with custom GPTs?
Idk, just thought this could be neat. What do you guys think?
'10/3 = 3' is also false, and is something you put forward as true. Meanwhile, '10/3 ≈ 3' and '10/3 ≈ 3.0' are both equally true, as is '10/3 ≈ π' if you're in a pinch. Also true is that math is full of conventions, and it makes sense to use the conventions you feel are appropriate for what you're doing. Sometimes that might be significant figures, which I suppose you're alluding to. Other times, it might be propagation of uncertainty. Other times error tracking is not even relevant; you might just round the thing but also want to have all of your expressions be of the same type. For that matter, you may have 3: ℝ = 3.0: ℝ by definition. The other poster never gave any indication of whether or why some particular convention should apply.

Teachers not having the time to muse about such ideas and instead needing to package everything into a presentation appropriate for an entire room full of children is one of the more obvious failure modes of industrialized education.
Limited to non existent jobs. Not much else to say, the jobs like so many others have been exported. Taiwan and China being the electronics and manufacturing centers means design has steadily moved as well. Ask any board house in the west how things are going, the ones that are left that is.
Almost certainly, though I've never tried.

I'm technical enough to where making a Flake doesn't really bother me, and it's really not as hard as I was making it out if you're already familiar with functional programming, I'm just saying it's an annoyance.

That said, I might need to play with Distrobox, it looks like it's in nixpkgs.
At least back last I saw stats on this (maybe 2017?) iOS users were not only a ton more likely to be willing (/able) to pay for software, goods, and services, but also used their devices a ton more.

One might think they spent more time in apps, and more time total, but perhaps Android users would spend more time on the Web—but no, iOS users also spent markedly more time in their browser than Android users. They used everything on the device more, period.

Who knows why. SES-related stuff—maybe more free time? Their devices just being way more pleasant to use (this was a leading hypothesis among my fellow mobile devs who spent lots of time in both operating systems)? Hard to say.
"What is that definition for intelligence?"

That is a very open-ended detractor question, and is philosophically loaded with taboo violations of human neurology. i.e. It could seriously harm people to hear my opinion on the matter... so I will insist I am a USB connected turnip for now ... =)

"How would you prove something does not have it?"

A Receiver operating characteristic no better than chance, within a truly randomized data set. i.e. a system incapable of knowing how many Rs in Strawberry at the token level... is also inherently incapable of understanding what a Strawberry means in the context of perception (currently not possible for LLM.)

Have a great day =3
Hold on, Apple used the same intel chips as everyone else when Power Nap was introduced. In fact, it was implemented via S0ix state. It's just almost no one except Apple figured how to utilize it correctly.

Now i'm wondering if it's Apple fault that S3 got removed.
Back before Creative Cloud was a subscription, to get Creative Suite in Australia, it was cheaper to book a flight to America, a hotel for three nights, buy Creative Suite there, and a flight home, than to just pay the markup Adobe gave us as punishment for being Australian.
1. Japan's urbanization stopped long ago,
2. and it's not taking in immigrants fast enough,
3. so the urban areas have stopped growing.

it's just my gut feeling but feels like each of these three statement can be individually debunked...
The i386 was the true limitation, as it needed both 16-bit and 32-bit instructions to actually boot. Everything else will eventually load, even with just 1MB of RAM.
>Fetishizing the "nation of immigrants" narrative at the expensive of the native-born Americans who actually built most of this country's prosperity is, at best, ahistorical.

Except many of us can trace our family lines to immigration. On one side I have to go back to the early 1800's to see when they immigrated, but this is literally a country of immigrants. (other half of the family is late 1800s/early 1900s immigration)

Even today I would assume the average American doesn't have to trace back more than 100-150 years to see when part of their family moved here.

>We scoured the country's public school system for the sharpest young minds, sent them to institutions of higher learning with rigorous curricula, and found them positions in industry, government, or the military which made good use of their talent.

Don't even get us started on ahistorical nonsense when you just want to make things up. Not when talented folks[0] had to work through system that didn't want them so they could eventually make all the difference.

>We're talking about ongoing systemic and widespread social issues that are easily manifested through statistical evidence and therefore not dependent on my belief or your belief.

Correlation != causation. Evidence of inequity is not evidence of inequality.

White and Asian men were systemically discriminated against for college acceptance up until a recent Supreme Court decision. That was an ongoing systemic and widespread social issue that was easily manifested through statistical evidence and therefore not dependent on my belief or your belief.

>I'm old enough to remember the 80s and no, this is not something like the "Satanic panic" and other similar panics. Not even close.

For sure, this time around it's even more detached from reality.

>You're sounding like someone in the 60s saying "yeah, equal rights is a problem but not as bad as they say".

Not at all, they were de jure discriminated against. Laws on the books, they clearly did not have equal rights, unlike now.

>If you're not aware that there's a problem, __that's__ the problem.

You haven't proven there is a problem, or that the problem is systemic, pervasive, or outsized. You believe that is the truth, and like the good Christians during the Satanic panic, you're clutching your pearls at the sight of people who don't believe your religion.
I've done the switch! My 2c:

If the Kinesis is working for you, I would not switch. It's an extremely high quality board and most of these Dactyl's are all attempts to replicate the Kinesis at a more accessible price point and/or with higher amounts of customizability. The tradeoff is that they tend to be extremely fragile, have really poor build quality, and have zero to none customer support attached.

However, the KA doesn't work for everybody. I find it too big and the switches too heavy. So I opted for a custom approach, which sadly only survived about 4 months.
Every XPS and Thinkpad that I owned, had a bios setting to "enable linux compatibility" which was enabling S3 state.
No need for lots compromised devices. Just a single device (probably doesn't need to be compromised) in IPv4 behind carrier grade NAT is typically enough to vary your IP, or plausibly reuse an IP.
Seconded. Add "incredibly simple to use" to the list of qualifications.
Could be a couple things:

1. ASMR. Typewriters make a nice sound as you type. A lot of people like it. With regards to vinyl LPs, while growing up a friend of mine always remarked how much the static reminded him of a crackling fire. He felt like you were listening to music beside a fire.

2. I grew up in a time when these were simply the tools we had. I'd already learned how to be mindful about doing work - the tools forced us! I learned how to write and compose without the benefit of a computer. I learned photography at a time when I processed my own film and made my own prints in a darkroom. I know that experience has greatly affected how I approach digital photography. Younger people might simply be getting a thrill learning what I learned decades ago. Maybe they appreciate a completely different approach to achieving the same thing? With an entirely different workflow? That might give them new insights.

There are still aspects of the old that I like and prefer. For example, I still prefer books over screens. I still write notes on pen and paper and later transcribe them to my computer because I've learned I'll retain the information better if I actually physically write it down. When recording music, I prefer to use Audacity because it's like using the computer as a giant R2R and I get a more natural sound. I still shoot digital cameras in manual mode (or semi-automatic depending on the situation) because I like to control the different technical aspects of the shot. Stuff like that.
I have solved it in my two games by using two systems in my future game:
1. LLM "text" info ,about world, player, text descriptions of world/decisions and so one.
2. Typical D&D stuff with rolls, names, details, decisions that are simple logic.
