These are not the same thing. You're interpreting "uncaring" as inherently cruel, but it's not; just uncaring.
A good tofu scramble tastes more like eggs than eggs thanks to black salt. And it's more flavorful than your normal egg+butter fry because it has an array of spices.

The compromise is mainly having to introduce a new food to your diet and change your habits.

Dropbox has had a number of security concerns[1].

Dropbox is headquartered in the US and is subject to US law, and interpretations thereof.

Dropbox has a history of taking on US government bureaucrats for roles in the company, including members of the US Intelligence Community[2].

If any of these clash with your threat model, look elsewhere? Syncthing[3] might be your thing.

It’s a bit. It’s quite popular to link an xkcd whenever it’s relevant, along with one of a few different catch phrases. “Mandatory” being one of those. For this phrase in particular, the joke is that there is usually an xkcd for most situations, and that it is our “duty” as nerds to link to the appropriate one. It’s an inside joke for nerds. I hope this explains the custom to you.
x86 segmentation makes it very hard to statically analyze anything. In real mode, any byte can be referenced in 4096 different ways. It is even messier in protected mode, since now every selector is an entry in a table, so its value itself is meaningless. So, without runtime analysis, there is no way to tell if 04:1234 is or is not the same byte as fa:1204
I am not sure I follow - when you hire you search for someone who has 100% coverage of the tech you're using and also already works for your direct competitor?

Let's say you're hiring manager for a company that compares flight tickets, something similar to Google Flights or Skyscanner. You need three additional Rust engineers. You're located in Palermo, Italy.

How do you hire people that would not only know Rust, be willing to move to Palermo, or at least visit occasionally, but also know the airfare business?

Even if you're willing to have people remotely, in the same region, how many unemployed Rust developers that know that business are on the market? 0?
Youtube has been feeding me a lot of business advice lately. If you are truly interested in pivoting from tech to sales. Right now the best advice is coming from Alex Hormozi (ignore some of his hard work ethos, it’s not nuanced enough until you’ve watched enough of his content). The amount of content he is giving away is criminal, he’s using it as marketing, but he is almost never selling anything, so it doesn’t feel slimey the way most of this content space feels. Chris Do used to have excellent content for getting paid as a creator, his recent stuff isn’t very good though.

I will tell you, if your solution solves a problem that is only painful enough that people might pay $25 a month, you are likely going to have a really hard time with this business. Sales is disproportionately harder the smaller the dollar amount. Also, if you are not willing to give up the first 4 productive hours of your day to sales and marketing you will probably fail.

Ultimately I think the open source doesn’t matter much. You have a solution to a problem. You need to market that solution to people who have the problem, and take their money while they are still in pain. Whether they could have found the solution to their problem through the open source channel is largely irrelevant if you have good enough sales channels to find people who don’t know to look for your free solution. Looking at your site now, I’d be very inclined to remove the free option. The era of freemium is sort of over. You want to be able to give something free to your unqualified leads, but it looks like you want to give away too much with it. You can maintain the npm channel, but it should not be part of your marketing for the paid product. It can still maybe be part of the onboarding process, I haven’t looked at your solution enough to understand what onboarding should look like.

Also, I suspect $25/mo is too little. Pricing is a form of marketing, and too low a price attracts the wrong kind of customers. There have been numerous threads here on HN talking about the quality of customers when adding a zero to their price.

Another thing I noticed on the forms.md page, is it wasn’t clear to me what pain I needed to have that your solution provides. All I know from your page is that if I want to build forms you can help with that, but you haven’t reminded me of what is painful about building forms, or even that it might be difficult. Let alone how your solution will make those pains go away.

There is also no price anchor. You absolutely need 3 pricing tiers on a landing page. One should be high enough you’re embarrased about it. $20 should absolutely be the lowest tier with the expectation that no one should want it. The middle price is what you want to sell for, and it has a slight goldie locks problem, but you can dial that in once you have enough sales.

Good luck.

> Compiling shaders directly from a high level representation to the GPU ISA only really happens on consoles.

No, that's not correct. In fact, it's mostly the other way around. Consoles have known hardware and thus games can ship with precompiled shaders. I know this has been done since at least PS2 era since I enjoy taking apart game assets.

While on PC, you can't know what GPU is in the consumer device.

For example, Steam has this whole concept of precompiled shader downloads in order to mitigate the effect for the end user.
Right, but what is “executive power”? It is the power to put laws into effect—to execute them. And Congress writes those laws. Article 2 Section 1 does not confer power beyond what the laws provide.

And “vested” does not mean exclusive. Many U.S. laws grant executive power, including the power to promulgate regulations, to persons in the executive branch other than the president. For example, the Communications Act of 1934 creates the FCC and gives the commission the power to “perform any and all acts, make such rules and regulations, and issue such orders, not inconsistent with this chapter, as may be necessary in the execution of its functions.”[1]

There is no authority in the statute for the President to override these determinations made by the Commission.

[1] 47 U.S.C. 154(i) https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/47/154
The general mechanism to prevent abuse is that the person giving the order is distinct from the person performing the action. This ensures that a second set of eyes inspects the order and notes any inconsistencies. Such a control was lacking in this case.
Huh, that is interesting, thanks for clarifying and going so far as sharing benchmark examples! I will try this on my own hardware as well and edit in the results (though I'm far from running into performance limitations on the old laptop that I use for hosting various projects, it could still be something to tune when I run some big task with lots of queries)

Maybe for completeness, what CPU type is this on?
Doing a quick look at their homepage and pricing pages I don't think it's communicating it's value proposition well... Or I just don't understand this use case. Am I missing something?

Is there more to this than syncing notes across devices and (optionally) hosting them on a web page? Maybe 'notes' isn't the best term, but that's the term the site uses ... Does seem to include markdownish support? And if you pay $96/year you get a node graphic layout option?

With room, food, and water, we have left chickens on their own for 2wks. The challenge is keeping clean water and food and predators. We had 30 gallon buckets of water with nipples on the exterior, and food towers (home made). They had the entire interior of our barn.

I wouldn't leave them in a small coupe without a run for that long.

The moment someone sues your customers, or some European agency will gets onto them, that 8000 euro opinion is all you're basing your company's legal security on. In that context, yes, this is being very cheap.

Yeah I wouldn't want to be an autistic person that doesn't suck right now.

I imagine it's a lot like my experience of having ADHD and being trapped between wanting leeway and support but also wanting to be held accountable and considered capable of improving and watching the Tiktokification of my disorder force me to argue that actually people with ADHD can do things and no having it doesn't fully excuse you from ever meeting commitments or doing the fucking dishes, especially if you're rejecting all and any treatment or strategy.
You are right that it does not generalize: but in this particular case, it was really reflective of the article which was shallow itself (IMO at least).

So I guess that the rule doesn't generalize either, but I can at least understand the reasoning behind it and accept that it might work better on average — thanks for the explanation!

Yeah there’s more to it than that. Do you want a can of beans to be put in the utensil draw just because it would fit? If it was done as you describe the placement of all of your items would be almost random each time, the bot need to have contextual memory and familiarity with your storage habits and preferences.

This can be done of course, in your statement the phrase “just figure out” is doing a lot more heavy lifting than you allude to

I don't think anyone in this thread has claimed that he supports the entire agenda.
My other point holds but also depending on your locality you may have your own legislation or policy, again informed by a number of factors which would be pre-existing. Those your country locality may evaluate in time or as review requires

> to fund trillions in tax cuts for the .1%

That isn't even what your link is saying. To begin with, it's citing a Treasury Department document requested by the Biden administration to do an analysis comparing the proposed tax cuts with a contrived alternative.

If you do generic across-the-board tax cuts, not targeting any particular income group, everyone's taxes are reduced in proportion to how much they were paying to begin with. Obviously then the people who make more money and pay more taxes have them reduced by the given percentage and that is a larger absolute number.

The same thing happens even if you target only the brackets for people who make less money. Suppose you lower the rates by 2% for every bracket below $400,000. That's not even enough to be in the 1% (for which you'd need to make ~$800,000), much less the 0.1%, but what happens in that case? Well, everyone's taxes go down by 2% of their income up to $400,000. If you make $40,000, they go down by $800. If you make $400,000, they go down by $8000. If you make $4,000,000, they also go down by $8000, from your first $400,000 in income. The absolute amount of the reduction is still highest for people who make more money, simply because it's a percentage of higher number.

The analysis the Biden administration requested was to do the tax cuts for people making less than $400,000 and then raise the tax rates on people above $400,000 to make sure they didn't get any net reduction, and their contrived example would have people making $400,000 paying a higher tax rate than people making $500,000+. Basically the purpose of the analysis was to generate a large number to put in a headline rather than compare it to a real proposal to lower taxes in general. This is also why they announced the cumulative total over a decade rather than listing the annual number as you would when comparing it against an ordinary government budget. Because "~3.5% of the budget" sure sounds a lot less than "trillions of dollars".
Not a problem for me, I only took the free apps from Amazon's store. If the same app was available on Play, I bought it there. It never made sense to me to pay for an app that was not on the native appstore and while I do have a Fire tablet and multiple FireTV Cubes, I was always more vested into the non-Amazon side of Android for phones.

'Better'? No, no, that's not AI bubble thinking. "Crap, but very large volumes of it" is what is in right now.
Well put. I'm an introvert, I can't do math, I won't travel, etc. are all things that some people claim as if it's the unchangeable nature of things. If that's their chosen path, so be it. But they should understand it will probably be pretty limiting because the world they live in.
The DOGE is mainly staffed by former employees of Elon Musk's companies, many of them being in their early twenties and one being 19 years old [1]. The presence of so many Musk associates is a conflict of interest: supposing "god mode" means that DOGE has unfiltered access to the private data of US citizens, there's not much stopping Elon Musk from exploiting that data for personal gain. And besides, would you want your private data to be in the hands of so many very young people who have little prior experience in anything?

>At that point, the last group of people who took stupid financial risks are left holding the bag.

Isn’t that all the policy makers, old voters, taxpayer funded DB pension funds, etc that depend on broad market equity index fund returns?

Obviously, the system breaks down when it breaks down (when the currency has no purchasing power left to lose), but until then, the entire political apparatus is incentivized to bail out asset prices.

And if that isn’t possible, then the status of your investments/brokerage/bank accounts is going to be the least of your worries, as you will have more immediate concerns about procuring food/energy/shelter/security.

Yeah the problem is when you need to create a custom select without using a 3rd party library, and you want to make sure the interactions are accessible and up to parity with native selects. Then you have to add tons of event handlers, aria attributes, refs for handling outside clicks, etc etc.
Just curious: have you ever been a part of any audit? May be at your workplace or a tax audit?

Dunno, I would not want to bleed my mental faculties for doing even simple planning work like this by outsourcing it to AI. Reliance on crutches like this would seem like a pathway to early-onset dementia.

In my understanding, one reason Sabine gets readily attacked (as user `cardanome` does here) is because of her criticism of orthodox physics theories. She has famously exclaimed that all cosmological theories supposing a “beginning” of the universe are essentially “a creation myth written in the language of mathematics”.

Just saw a TikTok post from a woman with an ectopic pregnancy being refused care by the Conway Medical Center (Conway, SC, near Myrtle Beach). Next day the post had been removed, with comments on other posts seeming to confirm that she had taken it down under legal threat from the hospital.
If I had to make a determination about it, I'd trust my eyes and quarantine DOGE's access until its accesses and changes can be audited by CAT. That is because the consequences of being wrong on this are too high, and there is plenty of time to be cautious about things and to ensure that everything is good. Zero legitimate reason has been provided for the level of rushing observed.
Is amazon essentially going through a firing spree? Between rto friction and dropping stuff it looks like it wants to shed a lot of people from its payroll.
Perhaps there is a default date of 1875 if the date of birth isn’t known. When slavery ended just before 1875, a large number of them never received an actual birth certificate while enslaved, and likely didn’t know their date of birth… so it would go with the system default.
There's a rather simple proof for this "add one to the top, n to the bottom" posterior. Take a unit-perimeter circle, and divide it into n regions for each of the possible outcomes. Then lay out your k outcomes into their corresponding regions. You have n dividers and k outcomes for a total of n + k points. By rotational symmetry, the distance between any two points is equal in expectation. Thus, the expected size of any region is (1 + # outcomes in the region) / (n + k). So, if you were to take one more sample

E[sample in region i] = (1 + # outcomes in the region) / (n + k)

But, the indicator variable "sample in region i" is always either zero or one, so this must equal the probability!
Yep, and AVR-8 has excellent documentation, is easy to learn and I find really fun to work with.

Anecdote:

I've been interviewing recently and got through to the last round (of five...) with an interesting company. I knew the interview involved pairing, but I didn't expect: two people sitting behind me while I sat on a wobbly stool at a standing desk, trying to use a sticky wired mouse and a non-UK keyboard, and a very bright monitor (I normally use dark mode). They had a screen recorder running, and a radio was on in the next room.

I totally bombed it. I suspect just the two people behind me would have been enough though.

As artificial intelligence (AI) accelerates toward a technological singularity—a hypothetical future state in which AI surpasses human intelligence—its development appears to be diverging along two distinct yet interrelated trajectories. On one hand, there is the promise of a utopian vision characterized by decentralized and ethically governed systems, while on the other, a dystopian pathway looms where unregulated and clandestine AI proliferation may spiral out of control. This paper synthesizes groundbreaking advancements in neuro-symbolic AI, quantum-resistant technologies, and decentralized systems, providing a comprehensive analysis of the ethical, societal, and existential implications accompanying exponential AI growth. Drawing on empirical case studies from Neuro-Symbolic Consensus Networks (NSCNs) and Cognitive Distributed Ledgers (CDLs), the work examines how an AI-driven singularity could fundamentally redefine the future of civilization. In proposing a novel framework termed Ethical Singularity Thresholds (ESTs), this study integrates dynamic safeguards that strive to balance the pace of innovation with the imperative of accountability, while also examining the increasing influence of “dark AI labs” that exploit regulatory gaps for geopolitical advantage.
