If you do it too often, you won't get a representative picture of the entire community just those who have both time on their hands and either an ax to grind or are somehow very invested. This is a very typical failure mode. The people who are extremely active in such matters don't have an average personality profile. You know what I mean if you've ever used Nextdoor. Also if there are constant meetings and votes, regular people won't know when something important is being decided. It's a typical trick to hide important stuff among lots of other minor things to overwhelm the regular working person and make it impossible to track what's going on.
Make the votes frequent enough to be able to course correct if people are dissatisfied, but rare enough so that people can know when they really need to focus on this topic. Maybe choosing a mayor and local representatives every 4 years is too rare, but I also wouldn't want my neighborhood decisions to be captured by some small clique of "in-crowd" who invest hours and hours into getting things there way and obscuring what's happening.

Since Svelte 5 was announced, we began using our own library for state management as we could not fully understand the semantics and were afraid of potential changes. If you're curious, here it is: https://github.com/okcontract/cells

It is compatible with both Svelte 4/5 and more importantly pure TS libraries.
I understand you don’t like Musk. But regardless of that -

vision vs sensors. Isn’t it about shaving costs to make a mass produced car that’s attainable by more people due to lower costs and easier manufacturing?
When considering engineering, manufacturing, and cost only - I understand why it is why it is right now. Even the current Tesla Vision FSD today is amazing. Agree that I’d love to see sensors in the future as long as it doesn’t price me out.
Can you clarify which other page?
> So what's the significance of pointing out that a SCIF is a place and not a network?

It was a confusing Apples Vs. Oranges comparison. A SCIF and Signal were contrasted with one another, like they were providing the same or similar facilities.

There are permissible chat applications that support Top Secret tier information which is actually akin to Signal (e.g. JWICS, DCS, platforms). A SCIF is a secure place, you still need communications technology to get information to and from different remote secure locations inc. SCIFs to even hold those meetings.
Yes, but not in time to save the people who were in the old jobs. Plus retraining.

> What should they be doing once all the meaningful jobs are automated away?

My point is that looking at patient's biopsy slides or invoices, for 40-80 hours a week, to find known cancers/viruses, or to make sure numbers match up with statements, is not meaningful work. In fact, I'd argue that any work that can be automated without performance degradation isn't meaningful work for humans.

For the case of pathologists, this frees them up to look more carefully at cases where patients are experiencing symptoms and the cause can't be automatically. That means better patient care for both common and exceptional cases. And, perhaps, when put into use globally, it frees some pathologists up to take other roles in medical or scientific fields, doing something that isn't easily automated.

For accountants, it frees them up to only look at cases where things mismatch, or, well... science, teaching, art, local farming, carpentry, really anything that isn't staring at invoices and statements 40 hours a week. It seems particularly silly to me that anyone would argue "comparing numbers on documents" is "meaningful work."

A pretty popular quote by Stephen Jay Gould: "I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops." I'd assert that many of our world's pathologists and accountants are doing the equivalent of living and dying in those cotton fields and sweatshops, if they're doing work that could be automated.

> Stripping people of their livelihoods is one way to encourage them to overthrow the system, yes. Make no mistake though: the revolution will not be kind to you.

Chill, dude. It's not like I'm making millions building these things. It's all just SaaS software, a sector where profit margins generally always trend downwards as the market for the product matures. Put another way, these companies are nowhere near as profitable as companies that extract our psychological profiles, target content and ads to make us feel miserable, and then use that to sell us stuff (Meta, Google, et al). I could easily go to Meta and make twice what I do now.

Plus, I contribute time and labor to organizations like the DSA, JVP, and local nonprofits, volunteer at my local food bank and for other local organizations, choose to shop at local co-ops and farmer's markets, and more to build the type of economy that can support actual meaningful, not-easily-automated work for humans to do.
"anarchism is when you talk to your neighbors and do things that don't require permission in the first place"
clearly this isn't working given that this post is highly upvoted as some kind of feat that people sat outside and talked to their neighbors. no one talks to each other, and either way you look at it, certain apps get people out there. love them or hate them, dating apps have made for plenty of encounters possible that otherwise wouldn't be. you can make the argument that they've made society worse, and I might agree with that, but we're already here. we're in the internet/device era where people rely so much on them that we might as well make better versions of the bad ones. i think there could be ways to do it well without making another nextdoor. just needs optimism and imagination
I would not have thought any of the above. Rather, jobs that require in person hands on presence. Setting broken bones is likely to remain relevant more than coding.
Though conceivably a bone setting robot equipped with ultra sound and xrays could do that. Hmm...
I allowed my sister to talk me into doing this despite my very strong reservations regarding privacy and data security. It was important to her and so I took the chance for her.

No I do not. Years of my early life are on film. My parents were enamored with their camera, it was frequently set up to film the entire room, passively.

I ask because we’ve taken up Elixir and we use MQTT (also with a custom RPC on top) to coordinate ag irrigation. But I’ve been very frustrated with the state of MQTT implementations on Elixir (or lack of good documentation). I’m wondering if I’ve just missed an obvious one. We currently use a fork of Tortoise, but it has some issues.

Probably never. It's very slow to move.

Yes, Java has been getting a lot of features Scala has had since (more or less) always. But it's a continuing process, and not all such features are yet fully fleshed out and polished in Java.

Also, Java will probably never get many of important features Scala has (or will have). It may not be some esoteric things, like higher-kinded types. But things like meta-programming/macros. Or features which may be advanced from theoretical point of view, but are actually easy from user point of view (because they lead to a simpler code), like Capture Catching.

Unix predates DNS; the nsswitch.conf tells the c libraries how to convert names to IP addresses. This behavior is actually dependent on which libc you're using...

To resolve names, you can ask /etc/hosts for the name / IP conversion; you can also ask DNS, or ldap or NIS; probably there are many I've forgotten about.

Also keep in mind that the quality and durability of that dress,

That dress could be expected to last for years,
longer with simple repairs.

Also, shoes are even worse than clothing for declining price/decreasing quality.

> [...] and only ran briefly. Atop is a different long-running version used to create logs of the same data to understand trends.

atop is also normally only ran briefly. It has an optional mode (enabled by default in some, but not all distributions) in which it runs as a service and saves a snapshot of the system state every few seconds; atop can read and show these snapshots when ran briefly.
The nervous system damage like that is certainly a big concern. Especially with the adjacency of the mucosal tissues of the sinuses, etc, to the central nervous system proper. And then there's the problem that intramuscular sars-cov-2 vaccination has basically zero measurable effect on long-covid syndrome(s). I really just wanted my entire body to be protected before being infected and the viral load as low as possible during infection.

>folks making their own intranasal vaccines with research peptides

I wish the RaDVaC were still available, but around the time of sars-cov-2 delta(?) they were no longer able manufacture the proteins needed for their intranasal protein vaccination (they tried but they could not produce it; a common problem with full protein vaccines). It hasn't been an option for quite a while.

The only real option would be a medical tourism trip to India to get their iNCOVACC intranasal sars-cov-2 vaccine but I do not think I have the money or ability to successfully navigate a foreign medical system.
Languages definitely follow grammars. They don't follow the grammars that were written by observing them, but you can discover unwritten grammatical structures that are nevertheless followed by everyone who speaks a language, and who if asked wouldn't even be able to articulate the rules that they are following. It's the following that defines the grammar, not the articulation of the rules.

Statistics are just another way to record a grammar, all the way down to the detail of how one talks about bicycles, or the Dirty War in Argentina.

If a grammar is defined as a book that enumerates the rules of a language, then of course language doesn't require following a grammar. If a grammar is defined as a set of rules for communicating reasonably well with another person who knows those same rules, then language follows grammars.
The irony of "We are currently clean on OPSEC" is pretty heavy...
Startup grants and credits organized by provider
While fishing around for information on AWS credits I thought it would be nice to have a website with all grants / credits available for startups. So I made this directory. Automating a newsletter to notify of anything new that is added each month. Let me know if I missed any that are worth adding thx!
No, I'm not, because I'm not saying that what you are identifying as a suburb isn't a suburb, I'm saying it's not representative of all suburbs. I provide a perfectly valid definition:

> You're far enough the urban core that you probably have to drive to get to shops and jobs, but close enough to the urban core that you don't pass through farmland to get there.

Since my definition is broader it's less susceptible to NTS fallacies. What you identify as a suburb is a suburb but it is not all suburbs.

> but in my experience most people mean post-war development patterns when they talk about suburbs

Even this is too broad to sweepingly say all suburbs are bad. I've lived in 5 different suburban neighborhoods as an adult, 4 of which were developed post-war, and all had sidewalks and plenty of walking around and neighborly interaction.
Provided that things like paperwork are in order, which often they are not, on purpose. For example, there are so many examples of Russian command refusing to collect the bodies of dead soldiers. No body, no death certificate, no payout.
Equitable is a terrible goal. Taken to extremes, it's communism. Where everyone ends up equally poor.

It's a noble goal and idea in theory, but put into practice it causes great misery and poverty.

Because fundamentally it's at odds with reality. People are not equal, and do not bring equal value to the table. For a system of organizing a society and economy to be successful, it has to acknowledge that and empower the out-performers, who then pull everyone else along for the ride.
At least Mitnick went through a security clearance / background check before being given any type of access. I doubt the same can be said about "Big Balls".

> Late yesterday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emailed a response: “As we have repeatedly stated, there was no classified information transmitted in the group chat. However, as the CIA Director and National Security Advisor have both expressed today, that does not mean we encourage the release of the conversation. This was intended to be a an [sic] internal and private deliberation amongst high-level senior staff and sensitive information was discussed. So for those reason [sic] — yes, we object to the release.”

Posting the statement with all of the typos is a nice little touch.

You can complain all you want about the media, but the White House (ostensibly) pays a team of people to deal with the media full time and it doesn't seem like they do a better job communicating for themselves.
I second this, how long would it take to offset their steel frames and the heavy chemicals used to make the panels? The plastics and metals needed to insulate and transmit this power. The upkeep needed to prevent this from just being a broken device one uses in place of corrugated steel. Centralization always wins here. Rather than solar panels in developing nations, why not redundant microreactors that can be airlifted to a centralized point in the nation when broken for repairs. This transforms backbreaking outdoor labor into a more whitecollar-bluecollar hybrid job that might allow the people of that nation to develop a skilled labor force and raise a family rather than make service calls to distant places

Oh, I don’t think it’s so much that: I think, rather, that improvements in economic productivity have been wildly overstated, especially since the 1970s, and instead we’ve been seeing a lot of our “improvements” in the form of goods getting worse. IOW inflation in terms of same-quality goods from the early or mid 20th century is a ton higher than our ordinary inflation rate, and much (not all!) of our “productivity improvements” are actually goods getting worse—inflation’s only as low as it is because we’re treating worse goods as comparable to better ones.
It’s shame Google search is so terrible because everyone using AI versus visiting websites is just going to exacerbate a dead Internet. There’s not a lot of incentive to generate new content that nobody will see. And with AI relying on this content, it seems like a pretty shortsighted feature.

Hi HN,
After struggling with anxiety and overthinking for years, I discovered how effective Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be, but also how hard it is to stick with. So I built BrightMind, a simple app that guides you through short, science-backed CBT exercises every day.

It’s not just another app. It helps you actively challenge negative thoughts, understand mental patterns, and feel more in control—5 minutes at a time.

Would love your thoughts and feedback.

European NATO members were well within their rights to refuse to participate in Afghanistan when America invoked Article 5 (read it!). They should have in fact, because it was a bullshit war and they knew it at the time. They chose to participate anyway and have been whining about it ever since. Fine, mistakes were made, but now you lot should be happy to put distance between yourselves and America and take on full responsibility for your own defense.

As for America starting wars in the region, if you think America started the wars Russia has waged and is waging against Georgia and Ukraine, you've been huffing Kremlin retard gas. You lot have a problem on your border, America didn't make it and its not America's responsibility to fix it. Maybe the American people would be more eager about helping Europe if Europeans didn't take every opportunity they could to gloat about how they're better than America, how Americans are stupid to spend so much on the military. Doesn't matter now though, the damage is done. Take care of yourselves.
What makes Elixir great for startups?
I acknowledge that is a poor defense. That said, all the CDN operators know of criminals on their network but will not take them down until either the government orders them to or until the bad publicity around a site can not be ignored 8chan as an example. Some of them talk about this. They do not want to officially get into the business of policing their customers or they would be expected to by the judicial system.

To your point about money I think that is also a factor but in a different way. If every CDN/DNS/Registrar held their customers to the standards of their AuP/ToS they would lose most of their customers. When you get a chance read your AuP/ToS on your CDN/DNS/Registrar/VPS provider. Even lewd content highly subjective is an account terminating offense. They do this so they do not get sued or the suit is dismissed when they have to terminate an account but if they enforced it strictly nobody would invest in them and they would have no customers.

I think I will leave the topic here since the thread was flagged. It has been an interesting and thought provoking discussion. I must go feed the critters now.
