If you follow a proper state machine design then it should be exportable as a diagram, I’d assume.

I worked in a team that modeled with state machines and it was useful but I was the most junior member at 7 years experience

Why would it? Unverified and probably incorrect info is currently used, why would this change that process. The military is smart enough to not put all their eggs in an LLM.

People are in the loop, this is just a way of taking existing analysis and giving it a different tone. The military deals with a lot of potentially-incorrect info already to great use - no reason this extra source will be bad to have too.

Can you think of any country or empire that survived by not keeping up with military advancements? War is a thing, sad as that truth may be, and working on your countries defense is not a bad thing.

Have you considered trying to organize such a group? Set up discord, invite your friends you know, ask them to invite their friends of a similar age, then share it on HN to make it a little more global :)

In Vegas I was asked for a tip when buying smokes from a stand in a casino. Why do shop keepers at regular shops get tips?

Just don’t get bread with sugar in it. Never understood that about America. The healthiest countries on Earth eat pasta or rice.

Yes you can - stick to whole foods and cook reasonable portions. Mediterranean dishes are easy and healthy to cook. The rest of the world can do it, so can America!

Yeah that'd be a factor too! However if you have a good friend group I'd not give it up, you will probably bump into someone eventually!

Sounds like you might be going to the wrong bars/places? I'm late 20s and already married but have friends who are single around my age. My local places are late 30s - 50s with a few people around my age but if my friends want to meet girls I take them to different places where they tend to be a younger crowd (early - mid 20s). If you don't want to drink, you could check out gym classes too - some have decent social circles built around them.

I've had the same thoughts as you - I've heard from chefs the thing you should do is take a part time job working in a kitchen to double check you enjoy it. The pay is awful, the hours are long, and if you lose interest in cooking you may kick yourself. You could always take a sabbatical between jobs and attend a culinary school in Europe which would be awesome?

Hey! Don't take my comment as too negative, I do like the idea & enjoyed using Pynecone right to the point I got stuck. Best of luck improving it, I'll definitely circle back in the future

I found it very difficult to do things like rich text boxes for a ChatGPT clone I was writing aimed at being child friendly. Ended up giving up when it became a bit spaghetti-ish and after the documentation stopped being useful beyond hello world apps.

We self-host Gitlab and haven't had an unplanned outage in a year since I joined.

I don't think The Pokemon Company is a holding company, I applied to a software engineering role there a while back

I agree mass surveillance is bad however is some surveillance good? Coming from London the fact there is basically no surveillance such that the police need to ask people if they were doing their own surveillance to help with a case strikes me as crazy. Each piece of surveillance should be rigorously questioned but I don't think the answer to a safe society is none.

Because most of the recent crimes where the robbers were caught drove into PA from Oakland or EPA or wherever and some of those were caught by license plate cameras just further afield. I wonder if one of the reasons Midtown is picked is because it's close to the 101 and because of the lack of security cameras. If people wanted to target wealthy people they'd be better suited looking towards Atherton or Woodside or something.

There's been several armed robberies in Palo Alto Midtown recently - I personally don't mind increased security if it reduces those.

It's still very popular in Europe for my age range (25-34) - FB Messenger is the default option to contact friends, even more so than WhatsApp.

Hands down

Hahahaha good spot.

Yes, but 'modernized' with generally higher salaries.

Regardless, 'Motivational speeches' shows he was trying to help himself and I find that horrific.

(didn't downvote you though, I understand your point)

Or DevOps?

> When she opened the TikTok app on his iPad, she found a library of more than 3,000 videos her son had bookmarked, liked, saved or tagged as a favorite. She could see the terms he’d searched for: Batman, basketball, weightlifting, motivational speeches. And she could see what the algorithm had brought him: many videos about depression, hopelessness and death.

Horrific.

Do you have a source for this?

> according to 18 current and former workers at the company

So 18 of > 200k people? I bet I could find 18 X/Googlers to say a lot of things

It's my understanding during slavery, assuming we're thinking American Black slavery here and not something else like Egyptian slavery etc, slaves were allowed to have their own families which they picked and were not selected for some sort of "superior" trait in children. The death rates for slaves was 1.8% and for whites was 1.2%, so I don't think that would have been a factor either.

I wonder if any previous human civilization did actually select slaves that were stronger to try birth stronger slaves... horrifying to think about really, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been done.

My wife works on MRI sequencing and has pretty long (> 1 hour) MRI scans quite often (2/3 times a week) as they all test each others research on themselves. She mentioned there are some scans where you actually do feel them and it's quite uncomfortable.

If the price is controlled why does it drop so much?
