A narrow self selected subset of the population, people who use dating sites and apps, doesn't tell you anything about the population as a whole. The selection is not uniform, you could observe literally any result on the wider population. Imagine you have a banking app for the ultra rich. Would you be able to infer anything about the general population from the spending habits of your users? No, because they're not indicative of the population as a whole. The case is the same here.
Also a note since there are a number of comments on here about this being a rival for Systemd: Shepherd precedes Systemd by quite a bit! Shepherd was previously known as "dmd", the "daemon for managing daemons", which was made in 2003! So in that sense, if anything was imitating anything (and not claiming anything was), it would be the reverse :)
These are great examples of difficulties people will encounter in all popular statically typed languages sooner or later.

I find the solution presented interesting but it is limited to the 3 operations mentioned.

The alternative to this runtime schema checks and treating your data as data - the data you are working with is coming from an external system and needs to be runtime-validated anyways.

Throw in some nil-punting and you can have a very flexible system that is guarded by runtime checks.
Raink: Use LLMs for Document Ranking
Maybe. But for something like Rimworld++++, you don't need all that sophistication. You need a pile of relevant facts and a clear task to determine something about the game or write some text for the user. Sure, curating and retrieving selectively would probably be even better and more flexible.
> If your engineers commit substandard code that was generated by an AI, they’re not doing their job.

Whether it is generated by AI or not is irrelevant. I've seen junior engineers submit better code than normal because it is AI generated.
Sure this criticism is totally fair, and I suspected as much (as a non controls engineer), but that's also why I said breadth and not depth :)
> The goal wasn't to give them a hug.

Just because we sometimes execute criminals doesn't mean there's something wrong with WANTED posters.

> Prime Minister, President, Head of Tribal Affairs, Governor of Basra... would we consider these legitimate military targets if someone hit our equivalents?

If we were at war? Sure. And if we weren't at war, we would be afterward.

Do you think Putin and Zelensky aren't doing everything they can to blow each other up?
During the civil rights movement, racist businesses and other associations hid behind this excuse. Some restaurants famously refused to serve people who were black, Italian, or Jewish.

But it is now pretty much settled law that people cannot weaponize their freedom of association to discriminate on these grounds. If you offer a service, you have to provide the service to the classes of people that you could be reasonably expected to serve.
I'm pretty sure it won't, given that it hasn't worked so far for much worse stuff (like people implementing the panopticon at Palantir).
If we're highlighting small differences between the two scenarios, I'd note that the US DoD gave out free lethal weaponry to the same folks to whom they gave the cards.
I've 4 kids, the youngest is 11.

The rule in the house is; 1) no social media accounts until 13 and 2) one of your parents will be your 'friend' on that account.

This is actually a pretty great expression of "kids keep you young."

But, right now is right now and how kids communicate with each other is constantly changing - social media or not.

So, if you're not a parent to a tween or teens now - I'd say you have little to actually worry about as the landscape will be completely different in a decade.
I have no idea how you would arrive at such a conclusion. Perhaps only if you have just watched a small selection of his videos?
Well it’s apparent at this point literally anything is acceptable so long as they flatter his sensitive ego.
yes i remember setting up a system through xbmc that made it so the tv would appear to have cable channels that were built from everything that was on my storage. So you had channels for different genres or cartoons or movies or whatever. and you could flip through the channels and watch whatever was on. and now it's just that you can even watch digitizations of old vhs recordings of television on youtube if you want. there just seems to be no need to do all that work and when you do, it never seems terribly nice and half the time things are falling over. It was fun when i was a student but now I actually want to watch television if i sit in front of the tv, not try and fix whatever broke to make it work again.
You can't even be sure a cover letter is read. Sometimes they are, sometimes they are skipped. When I have 100 applicants I don't have time to read cover letters, I'm looking for the first bullet that suggests you can do the job otherwise I'm trashing your application (The goal is to get down to 10-20 resumes that I then spend a minute on to see if you go into the interview or not pile). I'm only going to read that cover letter if something suggests you despite lack of the experience I'm looking for you might have a different background and so be worth hiring anyway.

Remember I have lots of more interesting things to do than read your application. When we are hiring (like many we are not today) I take time to do the process, but I really want to be doing the more interesting work.

I have tried that one time to tap into the potentiometer (not sure if that's what you're talking about with hobby servos).

Eventually you do want to fork out money for more expensive servos as those cheap 9g blue ones don't cut it, start to get hot/melt when used in a more serious robot application. Granted at that time I was using one cell so maybe that was more current. At any rate when I switched from $2 to $10 servos (especially metal gear) it was noticeable. The price matters when your robot has 12 or 18 of these servos on it.

Thanks for the links, as my robotic projects get more serious I do want positional feedback, term I picked up from a fun book "proprioception"

Mirantis Rockoon: OpenStack Management on Kubernetes
This is nothing new. Bringing ideas from DND into video games is as old as video games themselves. In interviews, John Carmack talks often about how he used to play DND with his friends and then try to take that experience into the games he made. And it goes back even further than that - Rogue, the primogenitor of all roguelike games, was inspired by DND as well. I could find a bunch more examples, but you get the idea.
Thank you for this great post. I've noticed over time people seem to be absorbing notions of the limits of the 1A that just aren't true; I think a lot of it is stories exactly like this. The longer that goes on, and the more widespread, the more likely in the future 1A protections will be weakened - because everyone will assume "oh, that was illegal anyway" or "wow, that's not illegal? seems like common sense it should be."

A separate, but related issue is people assuming "free speech" and the First Amendment are equal; that you have "free speech" as long as you have a First Amendment, and only that. But obviously, a society where you can be totally ostracized from all markets and common society on the basis of your speech is not a free society, even if the government doesn't put you in jail. To live in a free society and to have free speech doesn't mean only the government tolerates speech, it extends to us.
Not sure how old you are but this is all exactly how it was in 2002-2003 for the .com crash, only the # of people who had been laid off was massively larger.

We have HN threads about company "X laid off Y%". Back then it was "Company X has folded and laid off 100%", over and over and over again.
"Trying to hack on other people's junk with NixOS is just asking for pain."

To me that's a large part of the very definition of a useful general purpose OS is that it's flexible and enables you to do whatever you need to do today, without the developers having previously somehow planned and provided for exactly that thing.

It's like the systemd argument all over. The exact thing systemd aims to prevent is the exact thing that made the original unix so powerful and useful that 40 years after architecting it, it still worked because they didn't try to think of every possibility, they gave you a toolbox that let you do whatever you might need to do. Where systemd sees a shell script as "unmanaged chaos" I see "unconstrained utiliy", a useful toolbox including a saw that doesn't have it's own opinions about me what boards I can cut.

If "Trying to hack on other people's junk with NixOS is just asking for pain." that is basically the definition of "this is not a useful operating system that empowers me to get things done". It's useful maybe as a crafted firmware for a static device.

(Not saying that nixos inflexibility is driven by the same paternal "we'll give you the whitelist of actions Poettering thinks are valid" attitude as systemd. In nixos it's merely a natural consequence of indirection and layering. They aren't trying to remove any agency from the user/admin, it's just the simple indirection itself that makes pre-planned and standardized things easier at the expense of anything direct and unplanned becoming harder.

Like instead of having an OS that may or may not be driven by ansible, let's replace the OS with just ansible, and now there is no way to do anything any other way except by figuring out how to write a playbook to do it.)

To be honest, I am not an expert in TTS. However, the angle you mentioned does have many application prospects, but I feel that the project itself may be larger than Glicol :), and it may be provided as an independent rust package. The short-term goal of Glicol is to cooperate with other instruments and LLM.
i remember when Obama took office Rush Limbaugh was worried that he would try to restore the fairness doctrine but it turned out Obama did nothing. Democrats never acted like they were in a battle while Republicans were executing on a media domination plan over decades to dismantle the propaganda safeguards put in place by post war politicians.
I would suggest the opposite (inverse?): anything is acceptable to Nick Fuentes as long as it increases his chances of getting laid.
Given the website shows all the data for pacts by school, I ran it past ChatGPT o1 to look for any correlations.

https://chatgpt.com/share/6786bc74-9e18-800d-b474-d57ef2c107...

“Large, well-attended primary schools in more populous or affluent areas tend to have higher numbers [of pacts], whereas small primaries, grammar/secondary schools, or independent schools with fewer total pupils often appear with lower numbers.”

I definitely see a relationship in the data whereby affluent areas have a higher number of pacts. I wonder if this is due to stronger societal cohesion / shared norms in affluent areas?

Whereas in deprived areas in the UK there's more unassimilated immigration from cultural groups that self-segregate.
That’s very niche. Very few people in the general population will have heard of them.

Whoosh. You missed the point completely.

How did you choose "20% saved while working" as a number? Why not 80%?
> I don't know why it feels like you're jumping on me here.

I think what you're sensing was terseness of response because I was writing on a phone.

> What you're calling an "at grade crossing" is indeed a good one I missed. I would call them something like crosswalk on a speed bump, which might be "car centric" or whatever, but at least isn't overloading a term that generally refers to using different levels for actual traffic separation. Everything we're talking about here is actually an at grade crossing.

They are usually called "continuous sidewalks", but the terminology is locale dependent (not every place calls them sidewalks).

> You really don't see the possibility of backlash to "no turn on red" everywhere creating a campaign of drivers getting frustrated while waiting for timed red lights to change at completely quiet intersections?

Anything that is perceived as a source of frustration will cause backlash. That's not a reason not to do things that have been proven to work better. Dedicated bus lanes and congestion charges always get backlash, for example, but after implemented traffic always ends up flowing more smoothly, which does make driving less stressful. "No turn on red" is the default in most of the planet. Forbidding it in cities (particularly downtown and during the day) shouldn't be a problem.

> it just removes the benefit. It would still take a generation or two to change learned behavior.

I think that people adapt much faster than generationally. And it is important to change incentives. Incentives affect us way more than we realize. Something as trivial as changing the coloring or texture of the intersections causes us to change our behavior in ways we wouldn't necessarily notice unless we paid a lot of attention.

How is this a problem for him? He should mind his own business as he is not European. He is a South African nazi. Why don’t you ask me instead?

Throughout the Iraq and Afghan wars, we deemed combat actions by insurgent groups to be terrorism, even if entirely against military targets.

> Do you think Putin and Zelensky aren't doing everything they can to blow each other up?

I don't, really. I think Ukraine avoids targeting Putin directly because it'd lead to serious retalliation (doubly so if unsuccessful); I think Putin avoids targeting Zelensky these days as it'd make him a martyr.
I fail to see how the above comment is in any way relevant to the discussion of this thread.

TikTok is one thing, but it's hard for me to understand how anyone can justify a company like shopify unilaterally shutting down someone's existing store "unless they're actively breaking federal law. And even then, there should be a legal process in place to reclaim your [property]."

The article mentions disabled company accounts. I'm sure they froze some funds too, which Harr will probably never get back. This is the problem. Capital has all the power & we have no (legal) recourse.

Imagine you get to decide to stop working for a bad client, on whatever terms you want, without warning, and you still keep payment.

ETA: It looks like the shopify account was restored.
It seems to me there's plenty of conspiratorial thinking on the left. The rhetoric around Project 2025 comes to mind as a recent example. Same with rhetoric around for-profit prisons (e.g., I see lots of people saying our criminal justice system is primarily profit driven).

If I had to guess, I'd say such thinking is more widespread on the right, but I find it very difficult to see these sort of things clearly since I'm generally left-leaning in my politics.
First off, thank you for building this open source tool folli! With companies changing their subscription terms (eg: GaiaGPS) or shutting down (eg: FatMap), I and many others are looking for alternatives.

Chiming in to +1 SteveVeilStream's point about, "I often want to visualize a planned route". I personally care very little about statistics for a past activity and care much more about route planning for an upcoming activity and route tracking during an activity.

If you're firm on CubeTrek being a diary of your activities, then that's fair but it means folks like me, SteveVeilStream, and anyone else who's unhappy about the changes happening to paid GPS apps will need to continue searching.
Metas philosophy (based on what an ex Meta person told me) is “up or out”

So if you aren’t getting a promotion, you are eventually getting fired. This meat grinder probably has some perverse incentives for employees and makes sure you are always churning through folk who you don’t need to pay QoL raises to
I remember coaster brakes fondly. As an American kid, all of my bikes had them. What was great about them was that you can engage them so suddenly and forcefully that you instantly lock the rear wheel. If you did that on wet asphalt at high speed and jerk the bike just right, you could spin the bike around 180 degrees or more. It was a great day when I (accidentally) found that out. You can also do that somewhat on dry pavement, but your rear wheel is going to have a reduced lifespan.

I think that coaster breaks (and maybe steel frames) are better suited to kids who want to be rough with their bike. My wheels were never very true, and they would have rubbed awfully with rim breaks. (Disk breaks were unheard of on kids bikes then, and I think are still pretty rare now.) The main downside is that if you loose the chain, you loose all breaking power. That happened once to me, but thankfully there was a nice dirt ditch close at hand.
Most small businesses do not have the luxury of ready made distribution channels.

Even if there is a job they will send it out to multiple recruiters, only the one who finds a candidate gets paid.

Still in many cases those recruiters are the only way to get the job. Just beware that recruiters don't know when a new job will open for them either.

At any given time, the PERM process in the greencard system creates an inflated number of tech job postings. I'll outline the envelope math.

Assuming all H1B slots are filled, that's 85,000 per year based on the recent 10 year cap. H1B visas last about 6 years.

In order to get a green card, part of the process is the PERM. You post the H1B holder's job in a newspaper or on websites and have legal review the applicants and determine why no american applicants are suitable.

Assume that all H1B people want to get into the perm process, but it can generally take a few years to happen. So at any given time, there may be up to 510,000 (85K6) people applying for PERM status. During that time, we can assume about half are in the PERM process, meaning we have at least 255,000 fake* postings that are specifically tailored to a candidate in order to reject other candidates.

TLDR; PERM process creates at least 0.25M fake job postings at any given time, mostly in technology.

I don’t known roads with minimum speed limit here in France but the highway (80km.h). I agree it’s a good idea to respect the min and max limit when they exist. I also 100% agree that its way safer to move at the speed of the flow. I’m also a commuter and don’t engage in flows I can’t follow. However I see too much people on low traffic condition driving at full speed where they couldn’t stop in case of… a deer/cyclist/dizzy child. Things happen and blaming random hazards won’t make the road safer. Slowing down, will.

> slower and smooth breaking being correlated

The energy of a moving object is proportional to the square of the speed, but your braving force is constant. If you want to decelerate from Xkm.h to 0km.h before the deer at 100m ahead, you’ll have a smoother stop if you drive slower. And that don’t even take reaction time into account.

> especially if you do limited driving.

Limited on a daily basis but it’s been 20 years I learned to drive and do it regularly for occasions like week ends, road trips, helping parents, going to buy heavy appliances etc… also riding a bicycle share many thinks with driving a car, a truc or a motorcycle.
If it's so unproductive why does it pay so well?
In my experience it used to be direct booking was often more expensive. Often absurdly.

Now I find it is almost always the opposite. Outside some more super low budget hotel options. Booking direct on the direct site more often than not is cheaper than the travel / third party sites.

I like the new trend, the third party sites were too disconnected and wonky.
Because for all of Russia's apocalyptic rhetoric about the dire consequences of NATO membership on their borders, they've done nothing significant about Finland and Sweden actually becoming NATO members while stepping up their military spending. By comparison, a little political noise about Ukraine maybe joining NATO someday is much less of a provocation, which makes it seem unlikely to have been Russia's actual reason for invasion. And from any reasonable ethical perspective it's certainly not a legitimate one.
"Walking" is not some outdated concept. Lordy.
No actually, that's about the opportunity cost of war. There's a left-wing argument I frequently see that the US finds wars to increase profitability but I'm talking about the propping up of firms to keep the industrial capacity ready. It is not the most productive use of capital, but it is productive.
