> Republicans are telling companies "You can't discriminate against employees because of their race or gender" and that the Democrats are saying "No, we need to discriminate against employees who are the bad race or the bad gender".

That's the way conservatives have always framed affirmative action, DEI, etc. It sounds satisfying, but it's overly simplistic and lacks historical nuance.

The problem is that we've actively discriminated against people based on their race and gender for centuries. We haven't just refused to give them jobs, we've refused people the opportunity to better themselves -- shut them out of education, the housing market, etc.

That sort of broad exclusion from economic and social capital can't be reversed overnight. So that means it's not enough to just say "okay, we'll stop discriminating against you starting now." We should aim to redress past wrongs.

Does that mean "discriminating against employees who are the bad race"? I don't see it that way, although I understand that some people might. I don't think anyone is arguing that we should hire or promote unqualified people. But if a few candidates are similarly qualified? As a white man, I can understand that for the entirety of our country's history, _my_ race and gender would have entitled me to preferential treatment. Having to cede that advantage to others for a time seems only fair.

Children can't drive, so only those with parents who have time to chauffeur them can take part in that sports team, doctor or friend's house.

Children can take buses and trains by themselves. Children living in towns and cities with public transport can access far more services.
The fact is that congestion pricing is driving people to an unsafe alternative that will result in more autism, schizophrenia, ADHD, and cancer. Fix the public transportation so that it's safe and more convenient and people will take the better option without the need to punish anyone.

Hi, Manifest founder here.

PocketBase is great too. Manifest brings something different: it's fully code-based, so you can stay in your IDE, use AI tools like Copilot or Cursor to build your backend, and keep everything versioned in Git.
It fits naturally into dev workflows, and we’ve got more coming soon on the AI side, both around AI and new features.

would WSL work? (sorry, not used windows in a hot minute...)
The comment I’m replying said nothing about “birthday”. They asked how many years old you are when you’re born, which is ambiguous.

You know some cultures don’t even celebrate birthdays, right? It’s not even uncommon for people to not know their date of birth. Even my own grandmother, born in Chicago in the 1920s, didn’t even know exactly what year she was born in.
People taking the bus and other mass transit will benefit even more when everyone has to take it, including the wealthy, and therefore there is more pressure to improve it.

Wouldn't increased bus ridership and lower car traffic point to the opposite?
This seems right to me -- imagine being able to tag objects or sub-objects with conflict-resolution semantics in a more supported way (like LWW, edits from a human, edits from automation, human resolution required (with or without optimistic application of defaults, etc).

Throwing small language models into the mix could make merging less painful too — like having the system take its best guess at what you meant, apply it, and flag it for later review.
That is how training is done. You don't train on all of your material or the tests are worthless.

Speeding up TypeScript-Go by 100x
> I may be remembering incorrectly, but I honestly think it was better when it was released years ago than it is today.

I think you're remembering correctly. Siri used to work much better for basic tasks, and didn't seem to randomly fail for no discernible reason. I can't remember what iOS updates changed things, but there were at least a few that absolutely degraded Siri's functionality. One that stuck out to me was when Siri was one day suddenly unable to correctly respond to "play all songs shuffled" - it worked fine for years, but after an update, just decided it couldn't do that anymore.

So for who am I supposed to feel sorry? Which {b,tr}illion dollar company is the real victim that requires my thoughts and prayers?
I think what you're saying is coming for tech. It's just that we've been short 100s of thousands of engineers for so many decades. But both the training (education, hack schools etc) side is closing the gap, plus tooling is amplifying existing engineers such that the gap between supply and demand is closing.

There will be a reckoning when supply exceeds demand, and then talent and competition will reign supreme.

That being said there already is about a 10x spread between talent pay in tech (roughly $100k to $1M)
Lawn apologist here. I have one because my kids use it daily, and it’s easy to spend 30 minutes to mow it a few times a month instead of maintaining countless bushes in the same space. I also don’t use chemicals except fertilizer and a copper-based fungicide, so there’s a decent amount of bug life.

The real ecological dead zones are the fake grass “lawns”, that are both nutrient free and heat islands, and for some reason get tax breaks to install.

Not sure, why they are displaying awful chromatic aberrations on their front page under the title "Advanced optics". That's not something to be proud of. If that was a result from a real camera lens, it would be a joke of a lens. Maybe fun for artistic purposes.

> If one of the main blockers in ipv6 adoption is updating routers and switches and all the networking gear and endpoints to support the new address scheme, how in the world would your “just extend ipv4 to 64 bits” solve that problem specifically?

By reducing the amount of work needed in order to get the new thing implemented. IPv4 is super simple by comparison to IPv6. I'd say there's at least an order of magnitude more complexity and legacy in IPv6 than in IPv4. Just look at the number of IPv4 vs IPv6 RFCs.

> 123.123.123.123/48 or whatever would be completely useless and dropped by an incompatible router [...]

It would still have been a new protocol, just able to share a lot of source code with IPv4.

This is an oversimplification. More than likely, income from Liberapay can be categorized as a 'gift.' Often, gifts aren't taxed to the recipient, so long as its less than $18,000 (this is not tax advice), Liberapay does not provide tax forms or tax advice. Its up to you to accurately categorize the income you receive based on the LiberaPay ToS, the expectations of your donors and the IRS, and your specific campaign.

Your payment processors (PayPal and Stripe) absolutely do provide tax forms. Its your responsibility to make appropriate use of them. But Liberapay itself doesn't have forms it needs to provide (and by god you don't want to provide tax forms or tax advice you aren't required by law to give)

>As it should be.

No, this is just the (insane) status quo. Ideally, however, businesses exist to carry out a mission (beyond making money). Part of this mission is supporting the livelihoods of employees; part of it is giving a return to investors; part of should be some social net good (maybe within a larger societal context, if not unilaterally). Much as "maximizing" the price at which you sell yourself (ick) often ends in workaholism, broken personal relationships, unhealthy relationships to material goods, and a generally deleterious existence as the opposite of a happy, upstanding, and well-loved member of society, "maximizing shareholder value" usually ends in a business that is either a hated monopoly or a bankrupt shell (often both, in that order). In both cases, hyperfocus has lead to the loss of the entire reason for pursuing the venture in the first place.

Profit is just a KPI for something else that you're supposed to be doing (and often a bad one, depending on what that something else is).
nice! I tagged him, I hope he'll notice :)
“Big Company Experience” is a fucking plague. Smaller companies hire from them thinking they will bring magic sauce but all they bring is toxicity and political baggage. Meanwhile the people who went against all odds to get the company to where it is are pushed out, because “they’re not the right fit for this scale”. Nobody who says this ever talks about growing people into those roles.
A bit OT: does anyone have experiences with Mistral AI as a comparison to OpenAI or Anthropic? I would like to stay with a European company, if they're somewhat equivalent.
Somehow you have convinced yourself that posting enough small things that could suggest that Musk is a nazi, but don’t really, add up to one convincing argument that he is.

No, just post one good summary or obviously revealing incident. And if you point to the salutes, which triggered the whole thing, they’re obviously not sufficient by themselves. You have to at least hear what he has to say. Did you?
I've been using Agentkit + Inngest to build out an agentic customer support network for the past week and the experience so far has been wonderful.

I've been evaluating n8n and Mastra.ai at the same time to determine the best platform for my use-cases and Agentkit + Inngest has been the clear winner IMO.

The fact that Agentkit is able to leverage Inngest's durable workflow execution engine is awesome as it makes the interaction with the agentic network waaaayy more reliable.
Yes, that's why I'm saying - no, they're not better and I do see issues on Apple silicon. You got lucky so far.
Yep its very for almost everyone because so much of our identity is tied around I and its very hard to let that go. I personally struggle with that a lot.
> associated with the Wilkes Land Crater impactor

Erwin discusses that theory but doesn't agree with it.

In any case, 1) there are other mass dyings that are definately not impactors like the oxygen crisis. 2) there are other basaltic eruptions on the scale of the siberian traps (like CAMP) where the cause is known and not an impactor.
All code is embarrassing, and there will always be someone that comes along to ask "wow, why did you write THIS in this way? I wouldn't have done it that way!"
Indeed. Particularly in the US, fracking was an extinction-level event for new nuclear construction.

https://pubs.aip.org/physicstoday/article/71/12/26/904707/US...

“The cost of new nuclear is prohibitive for us to be investing in,” says Crane. Exelon considered building two new reactors in Texas in 2005, he says, when gas prices were $8/MMBtu and were projected to rise to $13/MMBtu. At that price, the project would have been viable with a CO2 tax of $25 per ton. “We’re sitting here trading 2019 gas at $2.90 per MMBtu,” he says; for new nuclear power to be competitive at that price, a CO2 tax “would be $300–$400.” Exelon currently is placing its bets instead on advances in energy storage and carbon sequestration technologies.
Because of the nature of the data (resettlements for dam construction) two thirds of the data is from China. But interestingly according to Figure 7 [1] the discrepancy exists even in countries with normally very meticulous record keeping, like Sweden and Germany. I find this surprising.

The root cause analysis also falls short for those cases: Germany's bureaucracy might be underfunded but fundamentally requires every resident to register at their place of residence. There is also no large-scale conflict or violence in Germany, no regions are really remote or hard to reach, all rural areas are electrified (important for satellite-based night-time light counting by GRUMP and WorldPop). The only satisfying root causes left are about satellite counting methods being too coarse or badly tuned to accurately count rural area, or rural living patterns possibly not fitting the assumptions of these models. But it's weird that these errors are so similar between so many different methods, not all of which even use satellite data

Chunking Attacks on File Backup Services Using Content-Deﬁned Chunking [pdf]
On macOS x86_64, the size of PAGEZERO cannot be set to 0, but it can be set to 0x1000 (4 KiB) instead of the default 4 GiB. Wine does this to support running Windows EXEs which need to load at a fixed address.

On ARM64, PAGEZERO's size cannot be made smaller than 4 GiB.
Just out of interest because it sounds a little too good to be true, but it the content creators keep 100% of the donations, how are LibrePay funding the operation itself ?

Edit : My lazy self actually went and read up on it :

> Liberapay does not take a cut of payments, the service is funded by the donations to its own account. However there are payment processing fees.

This is a great example of dogfooding.
The entire premise is inaccurate, really. Nobody expects software to be free, even if they do not expect to pay with currency.
Simple solution is marginal water prices. Make the price curve steeper and steeper until water consumption decreases to desired levels.

Convincing people to care about the future is the hard part though, and I have no solution for that.
That is mighty impressive. Thank you for sharing!

I really like the Mistral openly licensed models - Mistral Small 3 is my current favourite local model to run, but only because I've not spent enough time with the brand new Mistral Small 3.1 to recommend it yet (I expect it will be promoted to my favourite local model soon.)

Their user-facing product at https://mistral.ai/ seems good to me - it uses Brave for search (same as Claude does) and has a "canvas" feature similar to Claude Artifacts. I've not spent enough time with that to evaluate if it could be a good daily-driver or not though.

My hunch is that Claude 3.7 Sonnet is still _massively_ better for code, based on general buzz online and a few benchmarks I've seen.
UI/UX designing tools is exactly the category I am going to explore next, so yes, this section is not finished yet.

Yeah, agree with your take. I think it's especially odd to describe Apple as suffering from this "big company problem" given that it seems like the execs there have tenures much longer than the norm. Cook has been at Apple since 1998, shortly after Jobs' return. Federighi originally worked at NeXT when it was acquired by Apple. Eddy Cue has been at Apple since 1989 and his Wikipedia page says he was instrumental in creating Apple's online store in '98.

Sure, Jobs was such a unique visionary and it was inevitable that things would change after his death, but I still find folks tend to minimize his missteps (the Cube, antenna-gate), while somehow shitting on Cook despite Cook managing the giant ship that is Apple extremely well for nearly 15 years.
You Spend Millions on Reliability. So Why Does Everything Still Break?
Being uncomfortable != being unsafe. It's not wrong to feel uncomfortable around, say, drug users or homeless people. And it's valid to complain about that! But that does not mean you're actually unsafe, and conflating that just isn't helpful.
No and it isn't on their roadmap. Projects who want to accept crypto should probably just put a wallet address on their pages rather than trying to rely on systems like Liberapay that aren't setup to facilitate transfers.
It would damage buildings and shatter every window in town. Look up videos of the Beirut explosion to gain a sense of the amount of energy involved. Even with water as a shield the force and shockwave will still inflict harm.

The capital flees almost in its entirety to non-union countries once unions grow in power, that's why.

Go ask the IATSE (film) folks how many jobs they're getting this year. (All their jobs left to developing economies in Eastern Europe and Asia. Cast gets flown out, but the crew are hired and based overseas.)

Unions contributed to the decline of US steel, US shipbuilding, US automotive, etc.

A worker can be both fungible and highly compensated. None of us are irreplaceable, and nor should we be. A union tries to put in artificial barriers where businesses need flexibility, and businesses really don't like that.
It's reasonably common on regional trains in Europe, meaning the trains that don't stop at every station within a city, but do stop at many or all of the stations between two large cities. (The intercity train only stops at the city.)

I've never seen it on a purely urban or suburban train within Europe, but then encountering a "screamer or crazy person" is something that happens perhaps once a year, and only if travelling at unusual times like at night.
And THAT narrative was created by Gamergater grifters. IT was even less true than whatever you might find flawed in GP.
Funny how that seemingly forgettable caveat is seen as a huge achievement for an executive. As a customer my biggest issue with the apple store is not the return process. It is the lack of them for the population of apple customers given how long it takes to get attended to and the difficulty of securing genius bar appointments. It worked alright 15 years ago but the stores needed to expand along with iPhone market share and they did not at all.

There are many quite obvious alternatives to congestion pricing. E.g. banning (private) vehicles from roads, or having fewer parking spaces or decreasing speed limits. These would also affect people quite equally regardless of how much money they have.

With congestion pricing you actually incentivize driving for the wealthy enough.
When I was a kid I used to do this with propane. I'd fill it with a propane torch - which is set t mix the C3H8 and O2 to the right proportion - and light it. I would not use a restrictor/nozzle cap because it had plenty of thrust without it.

This article is conflating the need for a "lawn" and what it means with people violating the terms and covenants they signed when they joined an HOA.

If your HOA requires grass, you've gotta have grass, even if you want a garden. As someone that has had the poor fortune of being on an HOA board neighbors like these might say they're well meaning but really they're just breaking a promise and not willing to do the hard work to convince the HOA to amend their bylaws.

Having a lawn can be great - it's hard to play soccer or toss a frisbee in a rain garden. Having a garden or letting it go "natural" is also cool and a lot of people do it in the US - but not if you've signed a piece of paper saying you will keep your lawn a lawn.

Oh there's lots of nits to pick on this case and the 9th Circuit dug into some of it.

The original warrant stated that it was for "inventorying" the contents for the purposes of an investigation (preserving evidence). They grossly exceeded the scope fo the warrant and now have to deal with 17 lawsuits if I remember correctly.

I abhor civil asset forfeiture as it is set up today. I remember all the fights over it in 1980s over the drug lords, but it had a lot of public support back then and it still does to some extent.

Personal anecdote: I almost had several thousand in cash seized on I-70 in Ohio. It's legal but grey and it happens. Good luck getting your cash back. Only thing that saved my money (actually my grandfathers estate... I was selling his vintage stereo gear in Kentucky) was me being white, not sketchy, and being active military. But only barely. There may or may not been a $100 that got miscounted.
