Straight from the turkey's beak.

Not once you de-dup.

Loopholes.

A strong hint this is the case is the fact that nobody can define consciousness.

Disinformation.

The postal service is run by the federal government.

I suspect this applies to almost all museums.

Same here. It's been very freeing mentally to get the 90% of things I always felt needed done actually done.

How so?

I have 40+ years experience and extremely high standards. What you say is entirely wrong.

What wonderful times we live in: the Turning test is a trivial nothing now and we're arguing about the fine points of the AI's writing style.

They're the same thing.

Seriously people? HN doesn't know what a patch cable is??

People say uv is good because it's fast, but honestly I don't care about that. We switched to using it for distribution of our Python-based tools because it makes it very convenient to install directly from a git repository and then to subsequently update from same repository. No need to build a package.

That's because they're actually not "sending files to another". A hairpin service has to be provided for double NATed scenarios and a rendezvous service has to be provided for all cases. There's no magic about WebRTC that makes it actually p2p.

People have forgotten, or weren't alive, but NAT was created and deployed originally by users. The problem they were solving wasn't "how do we stop running out of addresses" but rather "how do we save money". That's because early ISPs had hit on the idea of charging more for more address space, as a way to differentiate between small and large customers. So you could buy a cheaper service with one IP and use NAT to get your whole organization online.

Also Western Electric's CLC for Safeguard.

Assuming you are not married.

"Enterprise" mainly describes the sales and support process, not the nature of the product itself. That said one does influence the other.

Similarly the war created unstoppable momentum towards decarbonization.

The problem is typically you ate a bunch of things in the time before becoming ill and don't know which one (or none) is the culprit. So it takes a government investigation to identify the cause by correlating many different victims' food consumption to find the common factor.

Even when it's totally obvious the cause can be hard to actually prove. A restaurant near me put several people in the hospital with a certain kind of mushroom a couple years back but investigations never conclusively proved the source.

Had no anticip...ation of that.

Isn't that how we're inside one.

Vampire Squid. But this is only in one country. Go other places (e.g. New Zealand) and reality is different. There every single transaction has the credit card fee added explicitly.

True. I live in a no-sales-tax state but we have just as much tipping as everywhere else.

The way I look at this is that I get to pay for socialism in the USA. We'll never get it via the government, but at least I can improve some low paid workers' lives a bit.

I live in the US but have traveled to France for my entire life and speak French reasonably well. My take on this is: service is just fine in France. The difference is that nobody is "servile" in France. Also there are protocol differences (e.g. server never brings the bill until asked) that might be interpreted as lower levels of service.

It means nothing. Whoever writes this has no idea about American restaurant protocol. The "tip for good service" thing comes from the UK (perhaps elsewhere in Europe too, not sure since I don't know those cultures well). There (obviously it's changing as US cultural virus propagates) the idea was: default is no tip, a tip only exists as a token to denote thanks for something -- friendly service, quick service, and so on. Most service is slow and surly so -- no tips.

By contrast in the US the tip is mandatory. The server doesn't make any money and goes broke if you don't tip. So everyone does. Service would have to be astonishingly bad (waiter threw up on the customer?) to receive no tip. On the other end, one might give a somewhat higher tip if the server was particularly friendly, helpful, is related to you, is a friend of your kids, seems like they could use the money, and so on. There's no metric of "I was well served" that correlates to the tip.

Level of service doesn't depend on the tip in the USA. Tip size may depend a little bit on level of service, but not the other way around. Basically the tip is how the customer pays the server and table clearers etc, because the restaurant owner does not. It's just a convention on how to split up the total charge that American culture has determined in the way to do it. And like every single weird thing in American culture, it's that way because of slavery.

Assuming you are referring to using an LLM to generate crontab entries, is that a bad move? Seems like it removes the need for layers of UI that most of the time is never used. Same goes for regexes. Actually same for SQL. No need for layers to translate between what the user can specify and what's executed. Just type what you want to query for and the LLM generates the SQL.
