How is it a hassle? The machines can build and improve on themselves.

When there's very little economic reason to keep most people around. Then you just need enough force to keep people from taking what is yours and wait it out. No need to hunt anyone down indiscriminately.

Plus, nukes generally have been controlled by governments and mass use of them leaves little left for those in power and a whole lot of work for them.
If it's anything like where I am, they paid little or nothing to actually get the fiber to their house.

As with all rural infrastructure, low population density means high costs, especially if not everyone is a customer but you still have to run a cable past their house.

My rate is a little better than that- I think $120 for 150 or 200 symmetric- but it's still simultaneously more expensive than what I'd pay in the city and a far better deal than what we had before. Eventually they'll maybe make some money back on what I'm sure was a not inexpensive outlay just getting it to my house in the first place.
The next step is to format it so it looks like an endless starwars intro.
I sometimes like to imagine if I was president ... how hard would it be to find someone in a given department who could lead it and know better than the communication restrictions as we have here.

Granted, I fear the folks in charge now DO know better and the side effects are intentional ... but I wonder if it would be possible to pick someone and get it reasonably right.

Do you really believe that the majority of Americans — or even the majority of Trump voters — are applauding the use of Nazi symbols? That is completely divorced from reality. The only people openly supporting Nazism are the extreme fringe right which is fortunately still nowhere near the majority in the real world.

IMO it was already reasonable to ban Twitter links due to how the platform started hiding far too much away behind a login-wall, and both reasons combined probably tipped the scales.

Woah. gFiber still exists?
I knew a guy who was the president of a co-op house at UC Berkeley (basically, a student-run housing system decoupled from the university). They had regular meetings and he described one of the challenges: while most people who came to the meetings just wanted to vote on measures to buy food and change policies, there was a subgroup that "just wanted to fuck shit up". You know, like during a protest there are always some people who go around doing unncessary damage to unrelated/innocent businesses. They just enjoy breaking things and enjoy making people mad.

It's not a perfect analogy but I see Trump and his cronies as a "fuck shit up" contingent- they seem to genuinely enjoy making their enemies unhappy by breaking things, regardless of the societal cost of their actions.
Did you actually read the CUTE paper ?!

What character level task does it say is no problem for multi-char token models ?

Ask HN: Looking at AI development, I feel pointless in the work I'm doing
As a web developer, I thought I was doing well for years. But recent work on AI makes me feel useless. How do you guys feel?
I want to add something I noticed about coloring diffuse light. In an older home, the "white" walls may have yellowed a bit and bouncing light off them will color what is diffused. This sameness has a backrooms kind of feel to me. But, repainting with fresh and more-white white paint, I can bounce yellow or warm colored light and it ends up being pleasing.
I lived in New York during the election, nothing would have changed regardless of who I voted for, because New York went to Harris anyway. So in my case, “nothing would change no matter what” was objectively true.
Fair enough. I seem to often sit in the minority view on HN :)
Whether you enjoy utility classes isn't really related at all to what css supports.
Is it the media or unfettered capitalism? Traditional media (newspapers, and local news) is dying slowly, they cannot successfully compete with centralized juggernauts with global footprints sucking up all the ad dollars. Was it Thiel who remarked that capitalism may not be compatible with democracy? One guess on which he'll choose to keep.
A couple things make me think they knew they were doing something illegal. One, they changed the definition of GoF when questioned about it, in a way that makes no sense. Two, they tried to avoid transparency laws like FOIA as well:

Is there another way that I'm unaware of to conveniently edit arbitrary local files in a browser that has wider support (or anything upcoming that doesn't have much support yet)?
REST is just pure bullshit. Avoid it like a plague.

It's a fundamentally flawed model, as it smears the call details across multiple different layers:

1. The URL that contains path and parameters

2. The HTTP headers

3. The request body that can come in multiple shapes and forms (is it a JSON or is it a form?)

As a result, OpenAPI descriptions end up looking horrifying, in the best traditions of the early EJB XML descriptors in Java. And don't get me started on leaky abstractions when you want to use streaming and/or bulk operations.

In comparison, gRPC is _simple_. You declare messages and services, and that's it. There's very little flexibility, the URLs are fixed. A service can receive and return streams of messages.

The major downside of gRPC is its inability to fully run in browsers. But that's fixed by ConnectRPC that adds all the missing infrastructure around the raw gRPC.

Oh, and the protobuf description language is so much more succinct than OpenAPI.

Thanks but I'm not really looking for advice. Where I live vape juice is exorbitantly priced. Plus there are other habitual issues with vaping, such as vaping indoors which overall increases my intake. Pouches aren't always a solution either and don't solve the "habitual" part of the habit, which is the hardest part to kick for me.

Huh I didn’t know that. I thought those on Medicare only got the bare minimum service that stayed within cost.

I've had AT&T 1 Gbps in RTP NC at $70/mo since Jan 2017, with Max thrown into that price for free a few years back. I keep waiting for AT&T to raise my price but apparently it's permanent unless I change or cancel service.

My neighborhood was one of the first in Wake county that AT&T lit up, probably because it's one of the neighborhoods that re-used Bellsouth fiber[1]. It's been reliable service. No trouble with IPv6. I could've done without the AT&T privacy breach though.

Meanwhile Google didn't finally have fiber to my address till last year, many years after I got the free T-shirt[2] from them.

I’m not sure he’d want to, it would seem like he might want to point to his own scam. But if he did, I imagine he could add back your TXT record after looking it up in any of a large number of historical DNS databases. I can’t vouch for the quality, but a casual Google suggests there are still many, primarily paid but some free-ish, in the mix. Examples:

I really don’t think a TXT record is a good place to keep a secret… although it is a good place to prove you control a domain.

I share your sentiment! however, I think hyundai has a problem I can sum up with words of my best friend when I recommended it to him - “I am not buying a fucking hyundai!”

to put it in tech terms, hyundai needs a killer app (car). I think part of tesla’s success (besides the fact that cars are great) is that years ago tesla was a bit of status symbol. people used to point to tesla s when it first came out like tbey do at cybertruck these days (for different reasons :) ). then affordable models 3/y came out and people that were previously pointing their fingers can now drive that same brand. hyundai has I believe a steep climb even with lesser competition and I think they need a killer car to start that climb
They were being sarcastic with no reasoning or explanation and there's no logical reason it ought to be the top comment in this thread.
That seems reasonable, because:

1. Trump's declared "delay" is executive overreach and arguably unconstitutional, especially considering how the law[0] is explicit and even contains its own provision for a time-extension that TikTok has refused to exercise.

2. If you break a black-letter law because Trump suggested he'd somehow prevent the government from ever prosecuting you... Well, you're handing a crook a weapon he can use to extort you for favors later. Bad idea.

3. The PR cost of removing the app has already happened, it makes no sense to bring it back and then get dinged a second time removing it 75-or-whatever days later.

[0] Whether that particular law itself should have been ruled unconstitutional is a separate debate.

Two Big Studies on AI in Education Just Dropped
Thanks Tailwind devs! It’s a testament to the success of the concept and the quality and consistency of execution over a seriously long time, that Tailwind became how LLMs write code for the web.

Congrats on the release.
It's not developing anymore, that's for sure. Now it's devolving.
That's why they're partnering with Oracle and AI companies to build datacenters to pull in and automatically analyze all available private and public video feeds and communications to monitor for potential violent action. China got there first, the US will rapidly roll out the same playbook but painted with liberal terminology. It's not about harmony here, it's about freedom and protecting ourselves from terrorists and the radical left.
Yeah, the author has an extremely idiosyncratic take on the definition of REST which is either based on a misunderstanding, or a fundamentalist view of "pure" REST.

Compare to: If everybody can read, reading loses value.

If everyone has sanitised water it loses value.

Value is the overloaded word. We don't need to scarcity things so dollar number goes up for some elite group.

A good test is forget money and think of human collaboration. People doing things. Does it makes sense from that perspective.

Best way to scale Harvard is easy: make all the other places better (or if they are make people realise that)
PS: Electrical tape is better than duct tape because it's A: Black, B: It's rated for up to (typically, verify) about 200F and 600V. When I've resorted to this it's been on some things like stereo components that both get quite warm and have the tape pretty close to things like speaker terminals so being reasonably insulating is a nice safety blanket.
How to manage flaky tests in CI
I think if the claims that article makes are both (i) true and (ii) meaningful (as opposed to an annoying artifact of the norms of how these fields operate) we'd be seeing downstream effects of it that we do not see†. I think this is a particularly weird time in the history of biomedical science to be trying to further the argument that everybody is adding cards to a giant house of cards, but you do you.

Either way: people are responding to specific stories about fraudulent research, and my point is that the numerator of those stories is infinitesimal compared to the denominator of how many papers are published in these fields annually, by how many separately-funded R1 research teams.

I'm really not interested in being boxed into a debate about whether p-hacking matters, or scientific fraud exists. Fraud is bad! I'll just keep reiterating that the optimal level of fraud in a large system is almost never zero.

† That article is about a bunch of different fields, and I'm commenting only on a very specific subset of them; fuck do I know how well social science is operating right now
The community college option is available to anyone who’s willing to spend a couple evenings a week taking classes, so I don’t think it’s really that out of reach. Most countries don’t offer their high school students any opportunity to study material that advanced.

Total healthcare spending per capita includes insurance premiums too though, which is $8,951 for single coverage and $25,572 for family coverage[0], and needs to be added to that ~$1,400 to get the total cost. Some amount of this may be paid by employers, but is still theoretically money that could go to you otherwise.

Assume from the paper this simulator does not contain the software patch that fixed it? I'd be curious to see the "patch" for this that would, spelled out in more modern code (not sure what the original Therac was written in).
Many monitors allow adjustment of the individual R G and B components. This has been the single biggest help for me. I typically use R 45 G 35 B 15 or at night R 25 G 15 B 0 and that has helped me stay productive for longer without eye strain.
It is very common to test stolen cards at gas stations (relatively anonymous and available, and easy to just drive away if the card fails). If that car wash was attached to a gas station, fraud detection algorithms have a tendency for false positives at gas stations because of that.

On the flip side, it's somewhat difficult to buy an expensive TV without showing up on camera at some point. As methods for monetizing stolen cards go, it's pretty uncommon.

NFL tells New England Patriots to shut down Bluesky account
I had a similar experience recently, the dental assistant told me "we're going to do your x-rays now, but the controller isn't working right so I have to use a workaround, it'll take a little longer." I told her to stop what she was doing, there would be no x-rays for me, and explained why. I'm 99.99% certain I would have been fine, but the Therac-25 story is so horrifying, I decided to give in to my irrational fear.

Trump got 49.8% of the vote. 50.2% went to other candidates (48.32% Harris, 0.56% Stein, 0.49% Kennedy, 0.42% Chase, 0.42% others).

If anyone is curious, here are the Presidents since the 19th century who got at least 50% of the vote:

Biden
Obama (both terms)
Second Bush (second term)
First Bush
Reagan (both terms)
Carter
Nixon (second term)
Johnson
Eisenhower (both terms)
Second Roosevelt (all four terms)
Hoover
Coolidge
Harding
Taft
First Roosevelt
McKinley

The lowest since 1900 is Wilson's first term at 41.8%, followed by Clinton's first term at 43%, Nixon's first term at 43.4%, and Trump's first term at 46%.

You might think that Wilson at 41.8% must have lost the popular vote but actually he beat the person with the second highest popular vote total by over 14%. That was back when the US had more than two viable parties. The vote went 41.84% to Wilson (Democrat), 27.4% to Teddy Roosevelt (Progressive), 23.17% to the incumbent Taft (Republican), 5.99% to Debs (Socialist), and the rest to a few others.

Similar with Clinton's 43%. That was about 5% more than second place. That year Ross Perot running as an independent got 18.91%.

Same with Nixon. His 43.42% was the biggest slice of the popular vote, followed by Humphrey at 42.72%. George Wallace running for the American Independent party got 13.53%.

You're either not understanding or refusing to engage with the hypothetical. When you steal a wallet, you don't get to choose how much money is in it. It could have $5, or $500.

You're imagining something like a thief who just intends to steal $X, robs a bank, counts out $X and leaves the rest of the money untouched. In reality, most thieves are opportunists: they will take as much money as opportunity allows without getting caught.

Obviously you couldn't physically fit $1B cash in a wallet, but assuming this hypothetical wallet did have $1B, does that make the thief more heinous or just luckier?

(If you must insist on a literal and physically accurate wallet in the hypothetical, just imagine it held $1B in Bitcoin.)
Understood.
Gain-of-function is one of those terms that only really makes sense with a lot of biological context and knowledge. Trying to explain that to the general public or politicians (especially in an adversarial context like a congressional hearing) is just not going to work.

Trying to hide things in their chat messages and texts and emails was dumb. I still can't believe they did that (one guy even used the exact scenario that we learned at Google: don't say anything in email that would get printed in a negative light on the front page of the NY Times; I had a manager there who actually did have one of his emails, as part of the Oracle Java court case, in a prominent article in the Times). Public employees of the government should assume that literally everything they produce as part of their job (including on personal devices) will eventually be seen externally by people without the necessary context to understand.

From what I can see, Fauci already admitted he made a collection of bad statements and decisions. For me, that's the end of the matter. Suing him over this is just going to damage the country. For example, next time there is a crisis, all those hardworking public servants are going to look at what happened and conclude "no, I will not be the public communicator that helps the country understand the situation we are in and how we are going to get out of it".
