I wonder how many words there are in "out-of-pocket maximum".

https://www.google.com/search?q=out+of+pocket+maximum


the whole discussion started from there: they have no vacay whatsoever while Europe is off every second week celebrating some pagan season

Swiss? Where money laundering is basically a given?

Neat!

The Django admin is really great. I do wish there could be a bit more extensibility hook points to hook into existing stuff, but I know a loooot of projects that hack stuff into the admin despite that (I think in particular it's a bit futzy to have things like confirmation screens on custom actions).

I think the real power of Django comes from not only having the batteries included, but almost always having the right kind of extension points in terms of methods (or template overrides) that really give you ways to quickly insert the right kinds of customization for your project. The admin existing and working so well for so long is proof of that IMO


I think PayPal and Venmo will be just fine with FedNow. They will work the same but with faster transfers. They will be pseudo-banks with internal transfers, FedNow transfers to others, and instant transfers to bank accounts. They will be alternative to bank apps. PayPal's purchase protection could be important for purchases unless banks work something else out.

Zelle is the one that is doomed since they are bank-run instant transfers that FedNow directly replaces.


There is https://www.ferroelectric-memory.com/memory-chip-factory/

There is also https://www.vishay.com/ which expanded several sites in .de, without much fuss, or begging for subsidies. That is neither RAM, HBM, NAND, nor NOR, but nonetheless much needed stuff, for all the electrified cyber.


These are all factual things that Indiana state government has actually done over the past 10-15 years.

Not to mention the crippling higher education reforms and the state seizing control over tenure review.


I give up. We started this with "Do you understand the difference between being not in uniform in order to infiltrate enemy territory and being not in uniform in your own territory?" and I clarified again in the comment you responded to: "What I want is Israeli citizens mistaken for an enemy combatant in Israel in a non-active-combat environment or Palestinians citizens mistaken for an IDF soldier in Palestine in a non-active-combat environment."

I will explain one last time I'm not looking for examples of people being harmed from "general" perfidy but those analogous for what happened - a stealth raid infiltrating among an enemy's population, "people start shooting civilians thinking they're infiltrators" as you said. The hostages weren't infiltrators, the context was that they were in enemy territory against their will and active combat. This is quite different from an hypothetical west bank combatant shooting his fellow men in non-active combat because he thought they were IDF.

P.S I'm still confused about the German Jews in the 1930s/1940s comment.


You use the phrase "trivially fix". If your definition of "trivially" means several decades with the investment of billions of dollars, then perhaps. There are no "trivial fixes" in city infrastructure. Re-zoning only works if there are developers who want to redevelop the land. For existing neighborhoods this means buying dozens of SFH from people who don't want to move. This drives the price of any development up making it unprofitable in most cases. I'm sorry but I can't take you seriously.

it does have framebuffer of course because you need to store actual text somewhere. in this case framebuffer stores structs that contain text (char), its styles and dirtiness

all chars are rasterized into atlas (sprite, if you want) containing whatever can be printable. it's bitmap that has fixed addressable cells that renderer can pick up and apply styles to

so answering you question, it's not just outputting text, a bit more but super optimized to be really fast. i mean, visually it can be achieved by something like double-buffer so you basically just diff changes and re-render only changed cells

although, as i mentioned in another comment, in some applications CPU computations become too expensive. GPU acceleration just gives terminal snappier feel and prevent performance degradation under UI-heavy load


Here I was hoping for something about Amiga OCS, ECS, and AGA. ;)

You’re talking about manipulated/malicious/intentfully steered hallucination but the parent is referring to trained emergent hallucination (even if sycophantic). These are two different things and both can occur, but the latter is what’s being tongue-in-cheek referred to by the professor.

The index isn't for all the files. Of course, if one adds all the files anyway the experience should be better than what you describe.

There's a "Spotlight search" action that open a Finder window with the search query. I think that's how it'll work for now re: spotlight


I find that specifically GPT4 uses a lot on em dashes. I find that it uses em-dashes when it is not usefull.

There's no way to know this until it happens to you or someone else.

The 25KB number is almost certainly not real, or meant to be particularly accurate.

personality should be favored

FUCK MICROSOFT.

That won’t cut it in court.

Oh good god. I can see that cracking all the way to Germany. Concrete surfaces need stress relief.

I use Gajim which is a linux desktop implementation of XMPP.

Actually I have been of both side of this story.

2019 -- 2020 : we had an office in New York with my previous company for 30 people

2020 -- 2026 : We are fully Remote at TeamOut, we are 30 and we only do retreats

We pend 5X less than a company going to an office everyday


I play guitar and have adlibbed several "pedals" on breadboard including an octavia hack, sweep phaser, overdrive, pretty much just smaller breadboards, I never even considered the pickup except as an input to the first stage and I would sort of gratuitiously load it down with maybe a 1k before the decoupling cap which really wasn't that big either. To the best of my knowledge, feedback happens between guitar amp speaker and strings (best case) or pickup (worst case).

Ah, the master of bad takes is at it again.

> Slavery had basically been a thing for all of human history up to that point,

Except that of course it wasn't.

> and based on my discussions on HN many smart people don't believe a lot of what Adam Smith said.

And many smart people do.

> There are still a lot of basic economic ideas that would make people much wealthier that struggle to get out into the wild.

Yes, such as the one that wealth is not very good as a context free metric for societal success.

> With that perspective the near-total abolition of slavery in a century seems pretty quick.

You missed that bit about the war. If not for that who knows where we'd be today.

> And we see what happened to the people who tried to maintain slavery over that century - they ended up poor then economically, socially and historically humiliated.

Yes, they relied on the misery of others to drive their former wealth, but they are not the important people in that story. The important people are the ones that were no longer slaves.

And never mind that many of those former slave owners did just fine economically afterwards, after all, they already were fantastically wealthy so they just switched 'business models' and still made money hand over fist.


Scammers can definitely get through it faster than you can. Whenever you attempt to address abuse in a system by increasing the complexity of that system, you implicitly bias it towards those with the time and inclination to study it, which always includes those with intent to abuse it, and generally does not include your users.

Because that's not what the GP was talking about. For example, say there is some controversial economic policy passed by one of the parties. Then a researcher goes out to research if the policy is working or not. But when they do the research, they find out that the policy doesn't work and has bad side effects too. However, the majority of the university votes and supports the party that passed the policy.

So the researcher intentionally changes some of the ways the data is collected and poof, it looks like the policy works. Extra funding comes your way but now you have committed academic fraud. Not that anything will happen to you for this, but still, you know you did it. That's what the GP is talking about and it happens quite a bit in the humanities and economics. Its why private economists and public economists almost seem like different species.


Google is still one of the Nvidia's largest customers. Google Ironwood (TPU v7) is roughly 12 months (generation) behind Nvidia in performance, but they get incredible savings in cost by having their own chips.

Where Google has advantage is massive Superpods that scale better than Nvidia racks.


Then we start using triple dashes to throw them off and then when they catch onto that we can reclaim em dashes!

Today I shopped at the local food co-op, Sprouts (regional/semi-national chain), Whole Foods and Trader Joes. Word on the street is that the co-op has a worse labor relations history than Whole Foods. Trader Joes is good but doesn't sell more than a 1/3rd of the food we eat. Sprouts I don't know much about, it would be a fallback if Whole Foods disappeared.

Whole Foods has the food products (produce, dairy, eggs, grains, nuts) that we eat, is cheaper than the competition for this stuff, and unbelievably beats the co-op on labor relations. However, it also ships profit out of the area. For now, it's sort of the best of a bunch of not particularly good choices.


Y'all need permits for non-structural (i.e. layout/framing stays the same) bathroom renovations? Holy shit.
