I wonder if any of the young men he sent to do this have HN accounts.

There's reporting suggesting these people might have been recruited as volunteers on Twitter and then sent into various government departments to commit what look a lot like crimes.

I think having a checkbook used to be a basic part of being a functional adult, but there's a whole new generation of people that have never sent a check before.

There are still a lot of businesses and government agencies that require payments to be sent by check.

It's paying for convenience. Name any "basic adulting" task and I'll show you a service that can do it for you. House cleaning, taxes, groceries, laundry, childcare, etc.
one of my biggest issues with the LLM is how it always wants to give me a mountain of code. A lot of the time Im using it for react, and it always gives me a full component no matter how much I specify I just want the method. It will not remember this for more than one message and will go back to giving me as much code as possible.
This model doesn't seem to display error codes for anything. I think their failure mode is just to "not work properly anymore".
We consider the human brain and thought structure to be close to perfect. In fact, we know that it can be easily deceived or misled. It can make wrong decisions because it is very easy to fall into cognitive errors. We are trying to copy this structure in developing artificial intelligence. That is why it seems very common for it to hallucinate or give wrong answers. When the reasons that cause people to make wrong decisions are eliminated, maybe what artificial intelligence gives in the same way can be much more realistic and accurate. Maybe then we can talk about Artificial General Intelligence. They use it very easily. That is why it does not seem possible to predict in the future whether humans will fix artificial intelligence or artificial intelligence will change our thought structure.
It is better to use nationwide migration statistics over large periods of time rather than selectively choosing a few metros as a data point.

As I understand, it might also simply be biology that older bodies like higher temperatures because it results in less pain.

No. Definitely not.

I was very surprised after doing some mixdowns on the onboard laptop soundcard on my Macbook pro that it sounded AWFUL when pushed to real speakers. Tried it on two other laptops.

Will never use a laptop sound card for real audio work or even listening again

Stephen Baxter's Flood is worse. In it, the sea starts rising and it turns out that it's not climate change causing it. Massive amounts of water stored in the upper mantle somehow start being released, so there's no stopping it. The book ends with some of the survivors on rafts in the Himalayas watching Everest disappear beneath the waves.

Scariest shit I've ever read, worse than any horror novel. Thankfully it's just a dumb story and the science of it is really dubious.

What are the examples to std functions that uses a raw pointer but does not borrow/expects pointer to be valid past the function call?
Sure, I get that reading the act is more important than the article.

And in reading the act, I didn't see any clear definitions. They have broad references to what reads much like any ML algorithm, with carve outs for areas where manipulating or influencing is expected (like advertising).

Where in the act does it actually define the bar for a technology to be considered AI? A link or a quote would be really helpful here, I didn't see such a description but it is easy to miss in legal texts.
Believe it or not I still have the Tanner Goods leather wallet that they gave as a gift for referring people to their app.

Hi there! I'm Nitin, a software engineer with a strong background in AI/ML, computer vision, and automotive software.

I’ve worked extensively on ADAS applications and computer vision systems in the automotive domain, optimizing perception pipelines and developing real-time monitoring tools. Lately, I’ve been diving into AI agents and their applications in different settings, actively building and exploring in this space.

I'm looking for opportunities to work on software development projects, whether in autonomous systems, robotics, or intelligent applications. I’m open to collaborating, picking up new stacks, and solving challenging problems.

If you’re working on something exciting in AI agents, CV, or automotive tech among other topics, let’s connect!

Seven Bucks Per Check!!!

Cool idea. Too rich for my blood.
I read it (the full 4 book series) as a teen prior to 2000. Very different experience! One of my favorite reads of all time.
All that's being "ruined" is people's ability to pretend that building identity through access to exclusive cultural groups and hard-to-get consumer items represents some kind rarified social achievement. Commodifying it punctures their illusion of specialness and makes it clear that they don't value their culture in itself, they value how it sets them apart from putatively lesser people. If capitalism ruins that for them, then good.
I see the "tech not politics" argument on all these insta-flagged posts. I think that the site has evolved from that though. There may be plenty of spaces to talk about politics but I don't know of too many other spaces around the 'net with such a bar of intelligent, informed and articulate folks like this one. I think people gravitate here to see what others have to say that isn't just a name-calling cess pool of ignorance like most of the rest of the net
I've heard that it was that it was because it would remove parking space.

But if what you are saying is true, that's what you get for not allowing multi-concern unions. Our union branch that take care of trash collection workers is also responsible for municipal cleaning workers, as well as dump workers: making the job worse for cleaning and dump workers is just not something the union would push for.
Well, how did you as a teen decide to do tall green hair?

I actually agree with your point, but there's a really solid devil's advocate side to take against it, too.

Reminded me of the Restate idea[1], discussed here[2] recently, except they do it as a library. An excerpt:

To persist intermediate steps (line 8), handlers use the SDK (ctx.run), which sends the event to the log and awaits the ack of the conditional append to the event’s execution journal. On retries, the SDK checks the journal whether the step’s event already exists and restores the result from there directly.

Though I think I agree with your point that it would be better to have this even more integrated than "just" a library. Perhaps something like how you can override the global memory allocator in C and similar languages, to avoid a tight coupling to the persistence layer.

I have an alternative proposal to Ann Arbor for this that hits every single one of your criteria, but with a plus-minus (with a caveat, but i will elaborate on that later) regarding reasonable cost of living. That would be Seattle area.

I will go point by point.

The good:

* According to their own Climate Vulnerability Assessment[0], the region is fairly resilient to the impacts of the climate change.

* There is no lake effect snow (despite being adjacent to multiple fantastic lakes). I’ve lived there for 7 years, and the amount of snow was much less than even in places like Atlanta. The amount of rainfall is ridiculously small too (despite the stereotype), and it is usually just drizzle that doesn’t necessitate even an umbrella 99% of the time. It got nothing on typical east coast rains that just pour like hell. I was able to commute to work on motorcycle for about 90-95% days of the year. For any east coast city I’ve been to (ATL/NYC/DC), I don’t foresee that number being even above 50% (most of the time it would be either too cold or too hot or too rainy/snowy/dangerous).

* UW is a very popular and common option for continuing education opportunities. Had friends who would take classes there for fun outside of work, just to fill gaps in whichever topics they were curious about (typically math). Seems like there is a large population that does this, and UW is a great school.

* Public library system is the best I’ve experienced hands down. Free, many accessible locations, and libraries even have stuff like 3d printers and hackerspaces available for anyone’s use.

* Had plenty of friends who lived there with no car for years, and they have zero plans to ever buy one. Especially with the public transit lightrail having some really significant expansions completed recently (with many more nearing the completion; the lightrail to eastside is something i am personally excited for)

The mixed:

* Reasonable cost of leaving is the one plus-minus I mentioned. The minus is that it isn’t cheap. It is much cheaper than Bay Area/NYC/etc., but it is still a major city area. The plus is that there is no state income tax. So, in retirement, your 401k withdrawals would not get any taxes skimmed off on the state level. This point is by far the biggest potential concern I have as far as Seattle being a good suggestion for you.

The bad:

* While the weather is amazing temperature/precipitation-wise year-round, clear skies and sun outside of summer are not that common. Grey skies for more than half of the month during winter eventually got to me.

Bonus points:

* If you are into outdoorsy stuff (skiing/snowboarding/hiking/kayaking/lake stuff), I cannot think of a better area. So many options within just a couple of hours. Hell, Discovery Park (calling it a park feels like a misnomer, because it is a massive cliffside forest, fields, and a beach) is just a 15 min drive from downtown.

* Flying to asian countries is much faster and cheaper than from east coast (13 hour non-stop flight to Japan from NJ vs. a 7-8hr flight from Seattle).

Food isn't an apreciating asset who's value grows when you hoard it and is also easily transportable between free markets. I can't import cheaper land from abroad. I'm limited by what's around me. That scarcity gives it value. You can keep growing virtually infinite food in the same land. You can't do that with housing.
What are the chances this is already being used to help fingerprint users...
We still use them monthly (about 6 a month). I've been shafted by ACH autopay too many times to trust any company with electronic payments anymore. Fallen back to just writing checks for utilities, mortgage, etc.
There are savings account setups that do offer separate accounts for various buckets that do something like this - it may not be daily, but monthly or bi-weekly. I use smartyPig for this and it really is helpful. More helpful than just budgeting but still having the money sitting in the account.
> although you’ll still be on the hook for downloading the entire 1.4MB font file

I haven't tested with emojis (never thought of it, great test case!) but try Fontimize, which creates font subsets based on text your site actually uses. It runs over the HTML and CSS and creates an applicable subset.

But the Python API supports passing just some specific text. Try using that, passing any and every flag you wish. You should be able to get a font file that contains just the country flags this way.

I really need to get back to this library and add predefined subsets like, say, extended Latin, or country flags!

===========

Hey, Muzani here, looking for a new adventure. Sweet spot is Seed to Series D or so. I've built startups from scratch. I'm working at a unicorn (YC S15) that's scaling rapidly across multiple countries. I'd like to help startups in between these stages and can bring more than just the engineering.

I'm a natural with AI/LLMs and it would be great to work with these. Also have some solid mobile and FE experience. I can do BE, but I like building pretty things (see the resume for an example).

For the last 10 years I have been working primarily for companies building tools for developers involved with large HTTP APIs (Apiary, Stoplight to name a few). Some of the open source tools you currently use when dealing with OpenAPI might have been written by me.

Currently I work as API Architect where I help design and ship big APIs, work in internal tools and help with the giant API Gateway that serves billions of requests per day and coordinates the various services for ${big-company}

I can help in architecting very big systems, on the cloud or not, building tools for internal and external developer productivity and I am particularly good when thrown in codebases with a lot of technical debt and bring them back on a path to excellence.
Depends why you were/are punk and what it means to you. Is it a fashion statement, a music genre, a lifestyle, a political faction, etc..

No one agrees, of course. In any case, for me, it's not something I'd force on my kid. Sort of goes against the spirit.
> without needing to wait an answer from a human (that could also be wrong).

The difference is you have some reassurances that the human is not wrong - their expertise and experience.

The problem with LLMs, as demonstrated by the top-level comment here, is that they constantly make stuff up. While you may think you're learning things quickly, how do you know you're learning them "correctly", for lack of a better word?

Until an LLM can say "I don't know", I really don't think people should be relying on them as a first-class method of learning.
