Why does he appoint any of the disastrously unqualified people that he does? He seems to enjoy creating chaos. Maybe he even hopes to put the food industry in a position where they have to beg him to rein in RFK Jr's plans.
I think the simple answer here is that we grew up. Most of us in the scene at that time and creating these types of tools were between 16-20 years old.
This is like saying, "well sure they invaded us with their military, but we don't want to be like them, so let's not take any military action in response."

Fundamentally, aggressive action as a response is not equivalent to being the initiator of aggression. Hence: turnabout is fair play. If someone punches you economically, it's entirely fair and reasonable to punch them back. It does not make you "just like them" to defend yourself.
So to reiterate, if we feel we are a hot commodity we may be entitled to unemployment insurance.

That's a big yikes.
Absolutely agreed. For me, this goes far beyond incorrect use of language: it's directly dehumanising because the term "resource" primarily describes inanimate objects. Resources are meant to be used, but people should be employed or managed.

In searching for the origin of this usage, I found this blog post[1] which attempts to explain arguments both for and against. But, to me, the arguments it lists under the heading "Why referring to people as resources is okay" are actually stronger arguments against. They're all about making certain management tasks easier by simplifying what's being managed. Unfortunately, this goes past simplification to homogenisation.

I've lost count of the times that I've seen management treat a big set of developers as equivalent resources, free to be reallocated to projects as needed. This approach never factors in how well certain people work together or the disruption caused by splitting up a well-functioning team.

It's not just that people aren't the same as objects; it's that people aren't even the same as each other.

> It breaks all kinds of useful browser features (which frontend devs then recreate from scratch in JS, poorly; that's probably the most widespread variant of Greenspun's tenth rule in practice).

Nah, it's the opposite. JS tends to perform better and be more usable for the same level of feature complexity (people who want more complex sites, for good reasons or bad, tend to use JS, but if you compare like with like), HN just likes to use them as a stick to reinforce their prejudices. (E.g. if you actually test with a screenreader, aria labels work better than "semantic" HTML tags)
It's irrelevant.

Netanyahu isn't letting domestic opinion polls concern him let alone the Trump base.
> made it worse.

I'd say this too. I'm giving LetsEncrypt 100% credit for making HTTPS so ubiquitous and free.

But CloudFlare certainly made things worse for "webmaster" era of the Internet, with everything centralized to CloudFlare. I live in Vietnam, and CloudFlare has made things super annoying with their captcha challenges everywhere.

Credit where it's due, CloudFlare pushed HTTP/2 and 3 adoption. More websites are available over IPv6, and their 1.1.1.1 DNS is actually quite nice.
Accessibility is generally framed around providing accomodations to people with disabilities, but at its core it's about more people being able to access things they otherwise couldn't. By this metric we agree
Doesn't the Torah count for something? It works slower than fiber optics but is massively parallel.
Then he picked a truly terrible name.
I used to feel the same before having a kid.

Nowadays, the scope of what I can care about is drastically reduced.
But one area where I don't allow care to be dissolved (apart from my family) is the work I do.

I had to leave a job where co-workers wouldn't care and it was about to influence my own level of care by the end.
You might find my practical introduction to lambda calculus and combinatory logic based on javascript helpful. [1]

That’s the coupon scheme which is a bit different. The discount programs I’m talking about make deals with pharmacy benefits managers which are middlemen between pharmacies and drug companies. Part of the agreement between the pharmacy and PBMs is that the pharmacy must honor discounts with companies like GoodRx even though it means they could be losing money on the sale.

I’d like to learn more about these PBMs and how they have so much power and what their purpose is.
How are they going to double check without incurring the cost of running it again?
Tip: it’s that you’re a pain in the ass, not higher IQ.

High EQ people learn to “smooth”. (I’m not one off those.) Intelligent intelligent people know it is the convenient relationship that sells. Problem solvers who do not make others pay for their idiosyncrasies are and forever shall be in demand.
> Makes me wonder about Google and AI, with my tin-foil hat on, I cannot help but think Google/AI searches your cache and cookies looking for info.

This is nonsense. Any cached data or cookies that Google’s scripts have access to was saved by those same scripts. If any site’s “AI” (not sure what you mean by that) could search through objects cached by other sites, you’d have bigger problems.
Why AI can ace medical board exams but can't make real art
I won't name names but a very popular so called "app growth king" launched recently and it's just full of dark patterns. Even going so far as giving out a "free month", when it's just a way for the user to lock into a yearly plan after a one month trial.
There is a lot of math never taught. types in math are mostly a dead end and so rarely taught - particularly since computer science moved to a seperate department. Even before then it was mostly applied math.
I wonder how many countries you need to have to match the united states' revenue
I completely agree about the dangers and am disgusted by the story you shared and others like it.

In an ideal world nobody would commit a crime. Sadly we're far from an ideal world, and the US authorities in my experience are not well funded enough to adequately cover the ground they're responsible for. We also have a populace that voted for a felon who hates the IRS and has cronies who have floated dismantling the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, so short sellers will have to do.

And the betting markets like Polymarket are worse. They had bets as to whether the fires in LA would be contained by certain dates. You can imagine the perverse incentives that creates.
That was my first thought but based on the rerouting graphic it seems like the extra cores would be one or two rows and columns around the border which would only account for ~4000 cores.

> Raises the question is far clearer and less ambiguous.

"Raises the question" is less familiar and marginally more difficult to understand for people who are actually good-faith trying.
> It’s not why they use TikTok but it’s why they don’t use other social media apps. Once an app becomes too popular with older people the quality and vibes decrease, plus everyone feels awkward about posting.

What is the point about the "best algo in town" if the universally popular app can not curate each person's feed differently?

Maybe it is because old people can comment on young people's posts and vice versa?
Going to pretend that Jews haven’t lived there for thousands and thousands of years, before the Arabs arrived?
I believe they're doing a meta-tag redirect (possibly inside a noscript tag?) in at least some cases. Source: I'm developing a web engine that doesn't have JS support.
I don’t know that it’s people trying to make a buck - and that seems a bit silly of a thing to say to begin with. I presume you try to make your buck doing whatever it is you do.

What I will say is that it’s definitely a different form of expression from what we’ve had beyond recent history and - at the same time - artists, photographers, painters, jesters, philosophers, and playwrights have been trying to live off their form of expression for a while now too.
Thanks. I didn't know that, but I only rebuild via SSH anyway (so it's basically the same thing).
It’s absolutely not hypothetical.
Is there truly a difference? It's not our reality that shapes our perception, but our perception that shapes our reality.
I agree with author's frustrations. So many things could be better if people cared and did the right thing.

Japan is indeed slightly better in this regard: the work culture emphasizes doing your job as well as you possibly can, no matter how menial the job is. That's why you'll so often see attention to little details, which makes life better for everyone. It is very noticeable on a daily basis.
No, that's mythology. Actual history is The Balfour Declaration:

It's infinitely worse for someone abroad to have your SS because it is worth it for them to try for several days to scam you for just a few dozen dollars. There's an entire industry of scam farms run in Cambodia by CH gangs.

Zionism is a colonial ideology created by Europeans in the late 1800s.
"Rights" only exist through the will of an omnipotent force, which is an undefined concept. I think it's better to respond to ill-defined arguments with simply that: "interpretation error, argument 'right' is ill-defined."
Microsoft used to give every computer programmer their own office. Even with levels.fyi types of salary there's been a significant erosion to the social/political capital of our field.
I think that lamenting the end of an era because Google doesn’t offer hyperlinked docs is like lamenting the end of fine dining because Olive Garden doesn’t offer cloth serviettes.

We’re looking in the wrong place if we want an ad company to be the champion of anything but revenue optimization.
Separate but "equal".
I thought my over-the-top response made it clear it was satire and a comment on the absurdity of someone thinking they're "actually friends with Brad Pitt and he needs my money"
This was my experience too. The short context and the optimism bias make chatgpt the wrong solution.

It starts well and then NPCs become inconsistent and the DM basically lets you craft the story by constantly doing a "yes and".

It becomes boring because the stakes feel so low.
The monsters are still there and already planning their next attempt in genocide. While the hostages coming back is a welcome news, none of war objectives were achieved. All the sacrifices were pointless if Israel exits Gaza and leaves Hamas in control (weakened is but still in control).
Netanyahu again showed that he is a coward and easily pressured and has a pathological fear of a conflict.
With thousands of monsters being released back into Gaza I fear the next 7 October will be worse.
Wonder if we will get any official Linux support for it? I'd be far more interested in that than running Windows.
this wouldn't matter if the page itself was calling the AI thingamajig
Not obscure at all, as it wouldn't be the first time a hostage situation is used for a presidential campaign [1]:

> The timing of the release of the hostages gave rise to allegations that representatives of Reagan's presidential campaign had conspired with Iran to delay the release until after the 1980 United States presidential election to thwart Carter from pulling off an "October surprise".

My understanding is that people with impaired vision use the regular browser and a layer on top of it, such as VoiceOver. They don't need a special version of website. And screen readers don't need to keep up with JS.
Color is important for appeal and flavor. Otherwise we would never color food.
Why did it take for the incoming arrival of a new US president (Trump) and for the existing president (Biden) to LOSE to get this ceasefire deal to happen when the first proposal was rejected? [0]

Of course it "needs to be take longer" since lots of money was made by government contractors in this war and why would it need to end earlier if Biden was throwing money on Israel instead of reaching a ceasefire deal much earlier with the first deal.

All would have been avoid had it not been for Biden's weak leadership which was shown on display in-front of the world for the last 4 years.

There is no denying or spinning that.

All search engines include Reddit results by default and you can usually refine by adding some param like site:reddit.com which works the same in Google as in other search engines

e.g. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=filter+coffee+site%3Areddit...

Edit: maybe you are thinking about the AI deal which is exclusive to Google. That's not the same thing as search engine indexing https://www.cbsnews.com/news/google-reddit-60-million-deal-a...
> How deep a dive did you do? What motivated you to do so?

I saw it come up in a discussion about linguistic prescriptionism and overcorrection, probably even on this site, and followed through to someone who had counted and analysed use in e.g. major newspapers.

> Your entire reasoning here reads like you were corrected and resisted and invented a justification so you could keep using the phrase you are comfortable using the way you are comfortable using it.

And your posts read like you don't get many wins in your life so instead of learning and improving you cling to the idea that you're objectively "right" about this so that you can feel superior. So let's not stoop to psychoanalysing each other.

> By your reasoning we should all start using 'irregardless' as well.

I don't think "irregardless" is more easily understood than, or conveys a useful distinction from, "regardless". Indeed the opposite, it's more confusing as it sounds like it's a double negation that should mean regardful.
Meanwhile, Cornell still employs the professor who called Oct 7 exhilarating. How would you describe that?
Well I did say "popular".
It’s also a biased view. The author admit that the feature he was involved in took longer to ship initially. Depending on the environment this can be an anti-pattern; don’t we say “release early, release often”.

In the same vein; the author says that the other feature took several releases to be stable. Were the other release purely bug fixes or did that give the engineer a chance to get early feedback and incorporate that into the feature ?

It’s clear that the author prefers a slow and careful approach, and he judges “success” and “failure” by that metric. It sometimes is the right approach. It sometimes isn’t.
I don't think it's like checking the locks in this case... more like adding a landmine in an apartment complex for cursor to trip on maybe ;)
There was, at the very least, a massive intelligence failure.

Responding by killing tens of thousands of civilians is on them a bit, too.

Right on! Only the medium has changed to crypto, but the con remains the same.
I don't even understand why it's everyone elses problem to opt-out.

Because the work being done, from the point of view of people who believe they are on the verge of creating AGI, is arguably more important than copyright.

Less controversially: if the courts determine that training an ML model is not fair use, then anyone who respects copyright law will end up with an uncompetitive model. As will anyone operating in a country where the laws force them to do so. So don't expect the large players to walk away without putting up a massive fight.
Thank you. That makes sense. Why are you being downvoted? I'd love if someone could say why they're downvoting you, because it seems like you addressed my question -- unless you just fabricated an answer -- but it would be nice if they said that.

That's an argument against all food dyes including natural ones.

Given color improves the enjoyment of food, I'd argue it is useful though.
That bill of rights does not exclusively deal with criminal law. At least the first and fifth amendments deal partially with civil law. The seventh amendment exclusively relates to civil law.
So, I had a terrific loss of the love of my life. I don't know how, but am seeing ads that literally resemble her likeness and it's happened more then once. Not look alike but her. Once I found out photobucket was training its AI on users photos, I removed them all and uploaded them to Google photos and now on youtube I'll see an add for a college and there she is dressed up graduation dress and colors of the college (a local) college.its like these evil companies are rubbing it in my face I'm thinking of getting a flip phone my heart is broken and continues to be everytime she pops up in an ad even though I know it's impossible to be her, the data analytics companies know of us through whatever our unique IDs are, picture scans or whatever the case and now they are breaking my heart daily and it's been over a year and I'm still mourning barely making it thru my days only to have her keep popping up how evil
How does it detect despite the user-agent?
This is a common myth.

Screen readers are not a type of web browser. They are software which interacts with other software running on the computer, including web browsers. There is nothing which inherently makes JS or CSS incompatible with screen readers.
Intentions matter. Bombing a hospital with terrorists operating out of it is a very different act to deliberately and directly targeting civilians for murder and hostage taking.
There was a post, here, some time ago, about how many paperbacks had ads actually woven into the story. Apparently, it was quite common practice, at one time. Sort of an obnoxious “product placement” thing. I think the author had nothing to do with it.
What a bizarre comment. We don't have a new US President until next week.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Babylonian_Empire

And literally decades later the coronation of Nabopolassar founded the Neo-Babylonian empire, soon before the Assyrian empire that destroyed old Babylon crumbled. It remained a major settlement after the destruction, it just took them a few decades to rise again.

99% of historical accounts about the sacking and destruction of cities are exaggerated. Even Carthage grew as a settlement mere years after the Romans destroyed it (the whole “salting the land” thing is an 18/19th century invention).
You have to remember that it is we the people of society that give corporations permission to exist.

A band of criminals has no protection over their enterprise. They all go to jail.

Wow, that's some apology. Everything after those words is an insult.
Sure but that is the ruling class's perspective.

What about the people who want TT? You can not hold them hostage to Chinese people not having TT or other apps. That's what the current Red Note revolt is all about.
This is the most likely reason. They should have put a sign, but the ramp looks right to me if you want them to match pedestrian speed when merging into a pedestrian space.
You can short USD by buying Bitcoin or a similar non-correlated asset but how could buying a usd correlated asset (TSLA) be shorting?
Good.

After the details of the sources on the absurd hitjob they did on Super Micro came out recently, they should be deeply embarrassed.

The whole thing was basically just the claims of a disgruntled sales manager, of very dubious character, fluffed up to seem like there was some legion of internal whistleblowers.

Not to mention relying heavily on mixing in details of long settled previous issues at the company to lend credence to the dubiously evidenced current claims of malfeasance. Shameful profiteering on the part of Hindenburg there.

They should have nipped that report in the bud instead of sloshing it out the door.
This isn't making sense to me. Due to the same-origin policy, anything on google.com can only access the cookies and other application data stored there by google.com. Doesn't matter if it's JavaScript or an "AI", Google can't break the same-origin policy and read cookies from other domains. AI changes nothing about this.

(Google services' widespread use by 3rd party sites does give them more data, but they have that whether you load google.com with JS or not. And again, unclear how AI changes anything about what data is available to them.)
I had free G Suite until 2022. I don't remember when I signed up for it but given Google discontinued signing up for it back in 2012, it must have been before then. 2022 was the time Google said no more free G Suite. So I upgraded to Business Starter. I didn't know that after I upgraded, Google introduced a free tier Google Workspace. Of course they never bothered to tell me, given that I had already started paying $3/mo as a special discounted price of Business Starter.

I even found the link posted by Redditors to convert the business starter account to free. That link expired in 2023.

This is the email Google sent me in 2022:

> As a valued customer, you can get started now with Google Workspace Business Starter. Billing will not start until at least August 1, 2022, and you’ll also get a discount of at least 50% for 12 months after that date.*

> Note: If you no longer want to use Gmail with your custom domain or the ability to manage multiple users, you’ll be able to join a waitlist in the Google Workspace Admin Console for a no-cost option in the coming weeks.

The only option presented to me was to stop using Gmail and enjoy a no-cost option. They must have backtracked later and offered a no-cost option with Gmail included.
Napster had a moment too, but then they got steamrolled in court.

Courts are slow, so it seems like nothing is happening, but there’s tons of cases in the pipeline.

The media industry has forced many tech firms to bend the knee, OpenAI will follow suit. Nobody rips off Disney IP and lives to tell the tale.
