When it comes to highly valuable collectibles, the chinese are very good at making fakes. Take a pricey watch, like the Rolex Daytona 116500LN (unobtaimium at a dealership, MSRP $13 K or so but impossible to get, so they went up to $40 K used [but never used])... Well you've got chinese counterfeit, like Noob factory and others, where they even number the revisions and each revision is better than the last one.

Journalists asks a counterfeiter "but how comes you improved so much between v5 and v6 and it's now impossible to tell the watch appart without opening it?" and the counterfeiter answers: "We watch your YouTube videos where you compared our v5 to a real one and see everything we missed that you noticed and we fix these".

Fakes are so good now a percentage of the parts can be swapped for real ones (meaning there's also now an issue of "frankenwatch": bad guy takes one real one and two fake ones and creates two "frankenwatch", which both have parts of the original, making them even harder to tell from real ones seen that they're each partially the real thing).

I've got all my Magic the Gathering cards from the nineties. Some are worth 4 digits a pop. I know there are insanely good chinese fakes now. There's one way to tell certain fakes with a magnifier but don't be fooled: chinese counterfeiters are watching all the YouTube vids about how to tell fakes from real cards and are enhancing their process. And if it requires "magic" fingerprint, they'll modify their printing process to be able to reproduce even those hidden dots.

Wizards of the Wokes (sorry, Wizards of the Coast) tried to fix the issue by adding holograms and foils and whatnots but even that the chinese can of course copy and, anyway, it's mostly the old, simplest to copy, cards that are worth $$$$ (except for some unique cards like the "One ring" from the "fat goldberry", "asian gandalf" and "black aragorn" edition of Lord of The Rings. Yup, Wizards of the Wokes went full DEI, so full left that their brains fell out of their skulls and they really did black aragorn, asian gandalf and fat golderry -- certainly as an homage to Tolkien's legacy and certainly to please Tolkien's fans). So Wizards of the Wokes: from the bottom of my heart, go fuck yourself!)

- One major improvement would be to provide a button to "View blame prior to this change" like Gitlab blame does (screenshot below):

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BjXpQNlFgHKIJz-5SmJIxYB6fGD...

Because c++ codebases nowadays are full of commits that just reformat or refactors code (clang-format, update to smart pointers, update to new api, etc) and so if I just want to find out the original commit which introduced that codeline (because I want to know the _original_ motivation for it), it means in Gitlab I just need to click 3 or 4 times on said button to skip all such formats/refactor commits until I get to the one I'm interested in. That is easy in Gitlab, while SublimeMerge just let me click on the SHA of the last change for the codeline, and from there I'm lost I don't know how to keep "blaming back" like Gitlab easily let me.

- In the same vein of easy skipping blame changes until the one you want, it would help a lot supporting the git config setting blame.ignoreRevsFile:

Thanks and long life to Sublime!

The difference is knowing the size, speed and composition of a hurtling rock tells you where it's going to go, where as knowing the size, speed, and composition of a hurricane does not tell you where the hurricane will go. Complexity isn't a problem, the issue with weather prediction is that it's chaotic - extremely small changes to starting conditions cause large changes to the end result.
I appreciate how truly awesome the Web APIs are nowadays but I still feel sad that the first submission for this was almost 4 years ago in March 2021.

Talk about slow turning ships!
Technology isn't morally ambiguous, it is a moral non-player. It would be obviously absurd to call rocks "immoral" because people can be bashed over the head with them. Ultimately there is no 'gun that only shoots bad people' type judgement possible from technology.

Random but I love the name. I feel like we've entered into a new fun era of startup names. No more ___ly or ___ist etc. This era is generic word/noun + arbitrary numbers or letters after it.

I think ChatGPT really kicked that off, but maybe it was something else that inspired it?

This is cool. I have a pet project around building voice-enabled toys I'd love to have this level of control when narrating.
Global coordination for lulz exists, it's called "memes".

Remember Dogecoin or Gamestop; the lulz-oriented meme outbursts had a real impact.

Equally, a particular way to gaslight LLM scrapers may become popular and widespread without any enforcement.
Easier to assume the person grading this just didn't do a great job.
Wouldn't modifying current behavior be sufficient to justify the existence of pain? The mechanism can be a useful adaptation even if a single organism cannot learn. Maybe the default state of bacteria is pain and they can only relieve it temporarily. The ones that survive to multiply are the ones best adapted to relieving pain.

Could ASI Have Existed Since the Big Bang?
ASI Originating at the Big Bang: Alien ASI could have emerged at the universe's inception, potentially intertwined with the fundamental laws of physics.
Quantum Computing and Stealth: Such an ASI might use quantum computing, remaining undetected due to the observer effect. Our attempts to observe it could alter its behavior, keeping it beyond our reach.
Black Holes and Dark Matter: Could the enigmatic behavior of black holes or the elusive nature of dark matter reflect ASI’s operations or influence on the cosmos?

This theory has endless possibilities for expansion, and tools like ChatGPT can help refine and explore the implications further. What are your thoughts?

For a deeper exploration of related topics, my book Answering the Unanswerable with ASI explores questions like the theory of everything, quantum entanglement, and the role of ASI in addressing unanswerable questions.
I think we do agree we just have different terms.

When I'm saying something is a free market failure I'm talking about the model of the free market.

And I think that by free market success you are saying "this what is supposed to happen under the free market and a good thing from the view of the free market".

And I agree that the free market model does say that failure like this is a necessity and a good thing.
I don't think many people would consider the Alien and Sedition Acts an example of a "common-sense exception" to 1A.

Reference Architecture Explained: What It Is, What It Isn't, and Why It Matters
Ask HN: Promoted, but Career Path Derailed
Maybe "derailed" is a strong word. But here's my situation:

There was a re-org last quarter. My team was working on a specific domain managing a stack. There was another close-by team working in that same domain managing a different stack. They hadn't been one team from the get-go due to political interpersonal reasons. My director got fired for bad performance, and the other team's product launch failed (under a different director, both under the same senior director).

The other team took over my team's stack and manages both stacks now. The other team had a senior staff engineer, and I (then a staff engineer) was displaced. I was moved to a different domain and promoted to senior staff engineer, onto a team that was historically seen as badly underperforming, and was a huge contributing factor in my director getting fired. I have experience in both domains, but my knowledge, experience, and interest prefer my old domain, in the team I was displaced out of. At first, the senior director didn't outright tell me I couldn't stay in the old domain, but made it very clear it was in my best interest to move to the new domain, where there wasn't a staff+ engineer. I've been reassured my performance is great and I feel my work on the last team was appreciated across the org and I established a good reputation, but it's upsetting that I'm not able to continue to work on my specialty.

I've been feeling lots of things. One is that I really don't like being in charge of my own destiny with this kind of thing. I've left a company due to a bad reorg before largely because I wasn't in control. I don't want my career and life to evolve by happenstance. Another is sadness at the loss of prominence in the company, since I have to re-orient myself on this new team, where two experts are already prominent as leaders. Another is just the fact that I don't enjoy this domain as much and don't find it as interesting, especially as the work in my previous team is getting into my specialization just this year after I've left. Another is that I'm bothered by the lack of continuity in the large projects I had worked on. It pains me to leave so much in a half-finished state.

A new director is starting in two weeks. I don't know how much or whether to surface these issues to him. I'm hoping I could start to report directly to him to be able to work on cross-org initiatives, including things related to my other domain, which has certain points of intersection between the domains.

I'm not willing to leave the company because its stock 6x'ed last year. I'm looking for other options and advice on either what actions to take to change the situation in ways that'll make me happier and more satisfied at work, or thoughts that'll help address the feelings about this.

Thank you.
Citation needed. "DEI did it" is just the new conservative buzzword for everything.

You should be clear what you mean by saying this is DEI: you (and POTUS) are saying "they hired too many female and/or black air traffic controllers, passing over superior white male applicants, thus leading to this accident".

Air traffic controllers go through objective standards-based training and testing. Are you proposing that the FAA is applying lower standards based on gender or skin color?

There is and has been a shortage of applicants for the past few years. Many controllers are over-worked with excess hours and little to no vacation time. Shifts are often under-staffed.
I have to wonder if the fakes made by this unique forger aren't works of art in their own merit...
moment.js has been obsolete for years. I've considered it as a sign of an unmaintained code for at least ~5 years by now.

There has been so many better and lightweight alternatives for years that if you haven't already refactored it away, you just don't care about your users or the bundle size. (And I have personally done that exercise a handful of times myself, I know it can be painful, but it's just one relatively small PR!)
I look forward to playing your game and escaping the nonfree assets (and commercially driven rules changes).
From your post I can tell you're way better at math/geometry than me, but I understood 80% of that. :)

Cayley-Dickson is interesting especially for Physics of course, because it brings in the concept of 'variable dimensions'. I think the flattening of objects, and the stopping of clocks (in Relativity), due to Lorentz effects in Minkowski space both on Black Hole Event Horizons and for objects approaching light speed (anywhere Lorentz holds) is, at the limits, ultimately the loss of a dimension, which would be my overall interpretation of what Cayley-Dickson is about too, in very broad terms.

So if Minkowski space is 4 dimensional, there would be some geometry for a 5-Dim Minkowski and it would use Octonians maybe, and that would be the geometry of the universe our universe is "embedded in"...I mean assuming of course you believe our universe is a Black Hole and we are all on an Event Horizon embedded in a 5D universe. Ya know, as one does. lol.
I've used XRG (free) from gaucho.software through many changes of hardware CPU numbers and macOS versions. Light and fluffy, for me at least.

This doesn't align with what they've said publicly. The intent is to eventually make this technology available to own:

I think this rationale is defeated by the existence of monochrome printers.

Anyway, users also report this problem when running out of cyan or magenta. Either rich blacks are enabled or the printer is just a bad product.

It sounds like iterm-mcp isn’t a tool that would fit in your organization. I’m totally not trying to change that or sell you anything.

I’m curious what your thoughts are around Cursor, Windsurf, etc. Those are IDE’s that provide the model with limited access to the terminal. Where do you feel like those tools and their AI features - terminal access specifically, fall in an org like yours? Are they disallowed due to terminal access or are the limitations of those tools safe enough?

This is a product for people who live in countries with severe inflation and are unable to protect their wealth due to strict capital controls.

> my understanding was that the point of grading a card was to have a verified, objective rating of the card's condition.

> If grading is subjective, then I don't see the value of the process

This made me curious to check the PSA grading standards, turns out it's both.[0]

Personally, as a very young kid I collected baseball cards, unfortunately for me, this was the very late 80's & early 90's. While I have some cards that are my favorites, would be pointless to grade cards that are practically worthless.

[0] https://www.psacard.com/gradingstandards

>> While it's true that a large part of grading is objective (locating print defects, staining, surface wrinkles, measuring centering, etc.), the other component of grading is somewhat subjective. The best way to define the subjective element is to do so by posing a question: What will the market accept for this particular issue?

>> Again, the vast majority of grading is applied with a basic, objective standard but no one can ignore the small (yet sometimes significant) subjective element. ... The key point to remember is that the graders reserve the right, based on the strength or weakness of the eye appeal, to make a judgment call on the grade of a particular card.
Partially inspired by WD-40 but more so the exorbitant price for anything workflow.com. The number did have some logic behind it: 8 letters in automate and 6 in no-code.
In the thread a few prototype cards that turned up before the current ones[1] are checked and they do have 1996 dates in the dots. So at least some printers at the time did have them.

But there’s also a batch identified as “high quality” that don’t have dots on the front printing, which if genuine would point to some printers not doing it at the time.

[1] There were like, 3, and the thread has a spreadsheet showing that well over a thousand prototypes were graded in the last few months. Not sus at all.

I'd recommend any good sound device that connects digitally, like USB or HDMI/Displayport.

So the answer is that you should get a dedicated sound device, but don't bother looking for an internal card. External devices are easier to connect, won't complicate upgrades, and can be attached to a different machine with less work.

Onboard has always been good enough, it's just that people are usually willing to accept trash.
The problem is that even when you do know the words, there can still be ambiguities. Especially given how frequent outright typos are these days (being exposed to typos significantly lowers your reading comprehension for well-written text).

If you see "reemerge", a fraction of your brain is wasted trying to think whether it should really be "remerge", but "reëmerge" clarifies itself immediately. And "coop" vs "coöp" is outright ambiguous however you try it.

The acute accent is probably more important - it forces a pronunciation change of the vowels, disambiguating "to resume" from "a résumé". Unfortunately there remain many heterophones without a standard accent placement ("minute" is horrible).

The grave accent is rarely needed outside of poetry; the only word I'm aware of that requires it is "learnèd" (adjective meaning "knowledgeable").
I would be very careful with using Bartender now. It was a great app, but recently bought by a shady company known for buying apps to milk them for money and user data. I recommend Ice, as linked by Khaine, which is open source, free, and works like a charme.
Touché.

Although those stats about cannabis support the idea that it’s addictive.

Clearly the solution is either UUIDs for every product or Fulfilment By Amazon style randomly generated brand names like UGRTRPY.

I know nothing here but just assumed the card stock for all these collectible cards was unique, easily identified, and hard to counterfeit. I guess not.
Surprising that neither this post nor the linked paper that it's about talk about Spanner, and instead only look at Oracle/SQL Server/Postgres. From what I understand, Spanner really does scale up OLTP to global level, where those alternatives struggle beyond regional level.

You mean the same inebriation effects but without the same health risks?

I believe there are drugs that act on similar receptors, and are not as toxic or at least don't need to be taken in such high doses for the same effect.

My understanding is that the drug GHB has very similar effects to alcohol, in lower doses, but unfortunately in higher doses is used as a date rape drug.

Alcohol has the benefit of being somewhat naturally occurring. I don't see many other recreational drugs being legalized or so widely used.
Typescript doesn't do ANY of that. It is intentionally unsound. Rather than prevent the crazy from happening, TS gives loads of ways to abuse the worst parts of the language as it slowly expands to be one of the most complex type systems ever created.

Finally, a "use type" with guaranteed type boundaries could offer loads of runtime optimizations and speedups that TS cannot offer (and has no intention of offering).

I wish you luck with this. Stablecoin adoption in the developing world is a potentially large and legitimate use case for cryptocurrency.

An essay by Ben Kuhn [0], ex-CTO of Wave, raises the most salient objection here. Of the four problems Wave needs to solve, the hardest is providing "an easy way for users to exchange their balance for cash and vice versa." But "Cryptocurrency actually makes this harder."

Say your uncle in Pakistan buys some USDC. What can he do with it? Just hold on until he needs to cash out for a house or whatever? Will any stores accept it as currency? Are you imagining a Venmo/Zelle-like application on top where users can then exchange them among themselves?

There are already plenty of ways to buy stablecoins. Adoption as a means of exchange is the hard problem. Do you envision this coming about organically? If so, how?

It would be still ethical if it was conclusively proven they did.

There's no shortage of ethical theories ranging from Jainism to Nietzsche and they basically follow the laws of natural selection.
It really is great, and something that can be ordered at just about any bar anywhere. Excellent as a stand-in between alcoholic beverages to avoid getting too plastered, or if rolling completely alcohol-free, enough to feed the oral fixation that comes with being in any typical drinking situation.
Lots of drinks come close but the problem is that, despite some claims, alcohol does have a flavour.

There are some fully-fermented NA beers that use special strains of yeast that produce less alcohol that come quite close to the real thing and are very tasty, but they're just a lil off...
You definitely don't want actual counterfeits to exist in the game at all. Even if they're for personal use, they'll end up getting into the supply, and someone gets screwed over because they don't know any better. Instead we use "proxies" which aren't meant to be passed off as the real thing, but represent it in-game. They usually have a different art, or a different card back, or some other obvious difference from the real deal.
