Yes, because calling an obligation to do chores "work" is massively stretching the definition of the term "work".

You can be a full-time employee whose only job is doing chores, but that's not what's described here, it's just doing (some of ) the household chores for a single house/family which you're living with

There is even a term for it, though the practice has been falling out of fashion

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Au_pair

To be clear, I'm not arguing that this practice is in line with the tourist visa. I'm saying that calling that work is not what most people would understand under that term.
And she most likely wasn't even aware that this (probably) wasn't permissable. My issue is your miss characterization of her doing this knowing that it's not allowed. Young people usually aren't very informed, and you're pushing a narrative of her going there for gainful employment, when she's likely just doing this to experience life in another culture for a few months.

Well, this is distressing.

Question: how many people here who are concerned about this behavior have actually contacted their senators or representatives to voice an opinion on this?
Well totally agree with you. But there are a lot of people who are introvert.
Big thanks to everyone for the feedback and your reactions! I've started working on version 0.5.0 and will try to include as much as possible of what was highlighted here.
I couldn't agree more, though it's kind of unfortunate that OS's are also going in the same direction. As meaningful innovation has, more or less, ended in the OS world - instead it's OS with shiny things I don't want, making controls look different just for the sake of looking different - sorry "new", packed with ad-tech I don't want, and soon undoubtedly to be packed with "AI" tech which I don't want.

And all of this forced upon you thanks to imposed obsolescence with things like hardware [in]compatibility with older OSs. The entire tech world is really screwed up with how adversarial companies have become with their "customers."
Sure but that is already another criteria set, similar to how Carbon is also being developed, and not a plain "doesn't do OOP", because Java OOP is not the only flavour in town, which many folks conflate OOP with.

Not only does it predate the language by a few decades, there is enough type systems variants to chose from.
Yes, and bank vaults have doors.
- "normal people writing generally do not"

You're generalizing inappropriately across cultural boundaries. Is the author of the OP article an abnormal human? Does "normal" mean "of average writing level"—is it now socially acceptable to ostracize and bully people who write well?

Because, when you're accusing people of being bots (like the HN parent related), that's a seriously unpleasant form of bullying. It's dehumanizing, quite literally. (When you write with sincerity, you pour your own humanity into your words; what does it mean to deny that?)
Rippling's Billionaire Cofounder on the Run Amid Divorce with Cheating Wife
It's no less a playbook or policy goal than a political party platform. Several of the authors of Project 2025 occupy staff or cabinet positions in the administration.

The policy goals of the ACLU, Clinton Foundation, etc are inputs to the Democratic Party's operations. Why would it be controversial to note that the Heritage Foundations's published policy is similarly an input to the Republican Party's operations?
kudos for the format and not wasting the reader's time
As someone who does use em-dashes (and never en-dashes) I don't really disagree. Double quotes in particular are a ridiculously overloaded piece of punctuation. On the other hand em-dashes have some aesthetic appeal vs. hyphens or double hyphens as I would use on a site like this. (Even if I think there is legitimate debate over whether they should have spaces around them or not.) En-dashes? I was on the style committee at a prior company and I don't think we used them because it would have been another thing copyeditors had to fix every time.
Would it seem otherwise if it was a lie?
Supersymmetry's Long Fall from Grace
Oh cool, when I have free time I have many dozens in Japan that I could add.
My issue is not to prevent others from obtaining copies of the files, using Lynx or curl, disabling JavaScripts and CSS and pictures, etc. It is to prevent others from overloading the server due to badly behaved software.

I had briefly set up port knocking for the HTTP server (and only for HTTP; other protocols are accessible without port knocking), but due to a kernel panic I removed it and now the HTTP server is not accessible. (I may later put it back on once I can fix this problem.)

As far as I can tell, the LLM scrapers do not attempt to be "smart" about it at this time; if they do in future, you might try to take advantage of that somehow.

However, even if they don't, there are probably things that can be done. For example, check that if the declared user-agent declares things that it isn't doing, and display an error message if so (users who use Lynx will then remain unaffected and will still be able to access it). Another possibility is to try to confuse the scrapers however they are working, e.g. invalid redirects, valid redirects (e.g. to internal API functions of the companies that made them), invalid UTF-8, invalid compressed data, ZIP bombs (you can use the compression functions of HTTP to serve a small file that is too big when decompressed), EICAR test files, reverse pings (if you know who they really are), etc. What will work and what doesn't work depends on what software they are using.
Have you heard the story about the inebriated man looking for his wallet under a streetlight? I don't think using a metric I believe to be flawed, simply because I can't find a better metric, is a good idea. I'd rather accept that it's still a realm of speculation and opinion.

No, because cases are very recent , as in 2024-25 and one is still pending. I got it from a local court listener who said they had filed an 800 page lawsuit against alleging various undisclosed connections between major corps, elite universities and the notorious Jeffery Epstein.
Why? Is this an actual problem? I have a bunch of wired connections (or at least had) but I'm not sure I ever saw a difference and I'm certainly not going to spend time or money retrofitting them for some Platonic ideal--ADDED, at least in recent years or outside of specific situations.

Of course they could have just used the site directly.
Short answer: the model is good at consistency. You can use it to generate a set a style reference images, then use those as reference for all your subsequent generations. Generating in the same chat might also help it have further consistency between images.
>there are still many questions which a human can easily answer, but even the best LLMs currently can't.

Gitlab also has some tips here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ci/caching/ on using shared caches, which can help in some scenarios, especially runners in Kubernetes that are ephemeral, ie. created just before a job starts and destroyed afterward.

tldr; "A cache is one or more files a job downloads and saves. Subsequent jobs that use the same cache don’t have to download the files again, so they execute more quickly."

It will probably still be slower than a dedicated runner, but possibly require less maintenance ("pet" runner vs "cattle" runner).

My First Failed Startup and How I'm Approaching the Next One
Starting a startup is tough, and I learned that the hard way. My first attempt, Brieflytics, was born out of a problem I saw in my own development team—so many repetitive daily tasks spread across different tools like GitHub, Jira, and Slack. I envisioned a platform that would aggregate this information and generate useful analytics and summaries for teams.

Excited by the idea, I quickly put together a landing page to showcase the product and its planned features. I started reaching out to people online, gathering feedback, and trying to gauge interest.

That’s when reality hit me: only one person signed up for the newsletter. Just one. It was a painful but clear signal—I hadn’t validated the idea properly. I was building something I thought people needed, not something they actually wanted. That was my first major lesson.

Fast forward a bit, and during our usual Google Meet calls at work, I noticed something interesting. People weren’t happy with Google Meet. They were missing features they loved from Zoom, better chat UI, reactions, replies, persisted messages, transcriptions, and more. That was my cue. This time, instead of rushing to build a landing page, I built a simple prototype and got my team to use it. They loved it.

That prototype evolved into my new startup, GM-Pro. a Chrome Extension that enhances Google Meet with features like a better chat UI, reactions, persisted messages, transcriptions, and many more improvements. If you want to try it, you can install the extension from the Chrome Store.

This experience was a complete shift from my first startup. I had validation before investing too much time. I had real users giving me real feedback. Now, I’m focusing on refining and expanding this product, knowing there’s actual demand for it.

Lesson learned: don’t just assume a problem exists—make sure people actually care about solving it before you build. Validation first, then execution.

Has anyone else gone through a similar startup failure? How did you pivot?
Then act against the Biden administration that approved it.

Move against those that approved its use.

That would be an interesting turn of events.
Sure, if you're trying to have a good time it works great! No hate here.

Great to see Elixir gaining traction in mission-critical broadcast systems! I wonder, how much of Cyanview's reliability comes from Elixir specifically versus just good implementation of MQTT? and is there any specific Elixir features were essential that couldn't be replicated in other languages?
I believe so! Since it is good at consistency and can be feed reference images, you can generate character references and deed those, along with the previous panels, to the model working one panel at a time.
On one hand, your idea has merit. But it is not without subtle risks. These could be mitigates by doing proper mitigation measures. But again, you cannot be sure how this will work out. May be the rich have some assets that they can sell off to meet the increased tax burden. This means that they don't have to manage those assets, which can contribute to reduced stress, which could lead to a better nights sleep. This will in turn cause them to wake up and exploit the worker class with increased vigor. But they could also use their now superfluous attention to engage in reddit or hackernews or watch youtube reels, and start zombifing and eventually end up being a d-crat..So who knows how it will work out.

They also depend on the design space to somewhat friendly in nature and can be modelled by a surrogate, so that exploit/explore can be modelled in an acquisition function.

Also successive halving e.g. build on assumptions how the learning curve develops.

Bottom line is that there is hyperparams for hyperparam searches again. So one starts building hyperparam heuristics on top of the hyperparam search.

In the end there is no free lunch. But if hyperparam search strategy somewhat works in a domain it is a great tool. Good thing is that one can typically encode the design space in Blackbox optimization algorithms more easily.
Indeed I would have preferred to interact with the U2F system libraries, create a challenge-response protocol for the registered U2F device to authenticate, and open source the effort. But I was not skilled enough at pitching the expanded scope. It would have been a more interesting project though!

If I take a sabbatical then writing a client like that sounds interesting. Part of it would be inventing a new MFA provider, as the existing MFA APIs don't expose a "sign with U2F device" authentication method, as far as I know.

100% agree! We had moved to a smaller community in New England and was eating an early dinner when we got a single knock on the door. Before we could get up, the UPS driver opened our door to place the packages inside (and out of the snow). He waved and welcomed us and then off we went. It was a bit odd, but then we realized this was a special place that we would come to love and we did.

You can’t add more criminal laws to deal with systematic refusal by law enforcement to obey and hold other law enforcement officials accountable for obeying existing law, because that relies on the same people whose behavior you are trying to correct to auddenly behave differently to have any effect.

The US, in fact, has a comprehensive federal and civil and criminal prohibition applicable to such behavior (the prohibition on deprivation of rights under color of law and conspiracy against rights), but the criminal prohibition is consistently inadequately enforced, and the civil prohibiition has been neutered by applying qualified immunity against it, which arguably is inconsistent with the letter of the statute.

Tesla is banned from Canada EV rebate program, gov freezes suspicous $43 million in rebates - https://electrek.co/2025/03/25/tesla-banned-canada-ev-rebate... - March 25th, 2025

> Tesla has been banned from upcoming federal EV rebate programs in Canada as the government freezes the suspicious $43 million in rebates that Tesla claimed days before the program was paused earlier this year.

> Earlier this month, it was reported that Tesla claimed $43 million in government rebates from the iZEV federal EV rebate program in Canada just a few days before the program was paused due to a lack of funds.

> The move was suspicious as it would have required Tesla to deliver over 8,000 vehicles at just 4 locations on a weekend, which is physically impossible.

> It is believed that Tesla preemptively filed for thousands of rebates after being made aware of the pause to ensure it wouldn’t run out in an anticipated surge in demand due to the program’s pause.
However, this tactic proved problematic. The government told other car dealers who actually delivered EVs before the end of the program that they couldn’t get the rebates, which were already applied to the customer purchases, as Tesla took most of the money for vehicles it likely didn’t deliver.

> Today, Chrystia Freeland, Canada’s new transport minister, confirmed that the funds have been frozen until it can investigate precisely what happened with Tesla’s rebates.

I'm Building Booking.com 3.0
For me personally, it's been always a pain to plan trips, although I love to travel and travel a lot. There are many manual and repetitive steps that need to be taken, and they should be interconnected and automated.

That's why I'm building this platform that will take care of all the aspects of the trip, so you can spend more time exploring.

Globally Based is a new all-in-one travel management platform where you can create a timeline of trips and plan and organise all aspects (accommodation, transportation, logistics, etc.) for each location, from checking country code and visa requirements to booking accommodations and flights to managing eSIMs, check-ins and extra services.

Think of it as Airtable/Notion for travel or Booking.com 3.0 but completely dynamic, automated, interconnected and real-time.

More information at globallybased.com - please do share your thoughts and feedback.

How do you manage your trips? Would you use such a tool?
