Or artisanal products like Mast Brothers' are actually Veblen goods (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veblen_good), where demand for the product is driven by the high price because it lets its buyers conspicuously signal that they're better off than everyone else. Poor people can't afford $12 chocolate bars, so for a person who regularly buys $12 chocolate bars, part of the value to them is the opportunity to demonstrate how not-poor they are. All the markers of authenticity are just there to let the buyer convince themselves that they're doing something loftier than that.

Holy moly I'd forgotten about that. Endless hours of clicking in the school library.
From the end of the article: The company estimates that, in a large, 8-megawatt wind turbine, the HET could save 90 tons of weight, millions of dollars in costs, and lift efficiency by 3 percent. So maybe this is more about making electric motors suit their applications better and needing less support infrastructure than just looking at the % efficiency.

The media used to be more closely regulated in the US. Consider the Fairness Doctrine (1949-2011) [0].

It's the size and number of news organizations that's concerning. Private ownership is fine. But when very few platforms exist, the control of the narrative by any one platform increases.

It doesn't permit a variety of viewpoints.

I was thinking the same thing. But powerful countries (US, China, Russia, and probably a few other countries) have the capabilities to shoot down satellites. Maybe they will opt for that or at least threaten to do that if Musk allows to much freedom?
I actually argue that the social media campaigns were much more negative against him. Google literally had a all-hands (leaked video) after the election where Brin and C-level executives were activists against Trump and conservative news outlets. Brin called the election results “offensive”.
I respect your measured approach to evidence gathering, and growing up I resented G.W. Bush with his "You're with us or you're with the terrorists", but the more I see my peers sit on the sidelines waiting for truth to reveal itself the more I think you have to decide what you believe even with limited evidence.
I was a huge fan of KSP, bought into it back in like ~.8/.9 days before there was anything to actually do, and I loved it. Talked tons of people into playing it and I got a lot of joy out of it. I didn't like the way Squad did things, and the bigger they got the worse things seemed to get, but they still ended up producing a solid, relatively stable game, which made space "fun" in a way not many games could.

Squad threw away the majority of the good will they originally generated (mostly by treating their community, and especially their modders, like crap) but the core concept of KSP is solid enough that even with their questionable behavior it still managed to thrive. I wont be backing this early on, but perhaps when it gets closer to release it'll be easier to judge what kind of product they're going to end up with.
Very nice they kept the pilots fairly simple and dressed up their surroundings as much. granted as we seen in this video I suspect the much higher details are going to lead to all sorts of videos people out doing each others for disaster launches.

I'm guessing you were only able to access Encarta because copyright enforcement wasn't strong here in Argentina? (Or was US$5 the Microsoft official price?) What do you think about my comment on Kiwix and Wikipedia at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20741101?

It must've been a counterfeit. SanDisk is a reputable company headquartered in US owned by a US company. I don't know consumer law (and IANAL in general) but I'd imagine if they were selling fraudulent sd cards they'd probably get hit with fines, a class action lawsuit, and possibly worse.
I consider myself a connoisseur of ridiculously time-consuming single-player games (Civ series, Crusader Kings, city builders and the like) and I have found no game as ruthlessly time consuming as KSP.

If you happen to have heroic self-control, you could find a lot of enjoyment simply doing a few moon landing missions over the course of 5-10 hours.

> No, if it’s secutities fraud it’s illegal.

Right, and acting unethically can be securities fraud. Hence illegal. Even if the unethical thing is on its own not illegal, and in pursuit of higher short term profits.

>A corporation cannot do what it wants, but it can do what shareholders want.

Yes it can, as long as it makes sure to inform shareholders of what it intends to do. As long as shareholders have information with which to make an informed decision, it doesn't matter what that information is.
Anecdotally, of the 4 days/week people I've worked with, there was never any thought that adding a fifth marginal day to their week would yield commensurate productivity returns. Value for money, the 4-day week constraint keeps people busy enough to actually get things done fast.

I don't know what their difference in comp was, but my impression each time was they had negotiated the 4-day week against the cost of a consultant. e.g. As an employer, maybe you want to pay an employee $120k/y salary. To replace that employee with a contractor will cost you $220k/year. The employees pitch was, given what it would cost and what they can make consulting, they would take the offered $120k salary for a 4-day/week role.

It's a question of value, not scaling to hours.
The problem is that statistically there will be a non 0 chance that a kid will be abducted over a certain timeline if all kids are let free. No parent wants their child to be the 1/1000000. It seems as if it is a good trade off.

Havent hear Tranmeta in a LONG time.

I recall when I was at intel in 1996 and I used to work a few feet from Andy Grove... and I would ask naive questions like

"how come we cant stack mutiple CPUs on top of eachother"

and make naive statements like:

"When google figures out how to sell their services to customers (GCP) we are fucked" (this was made in the 2000's when I was on a hike with Intels then head of tech marketing, not 1996) ((During that hike he was telling me abt a secret project where they were able to make a proc that 48 cores)) (((I didnt believe it and I was like "what the fuck are they going to do with it)))?? -- welp this is how the future happens. and here we are.

and ask financially stupid questions like:

"what are you working on?" response "trying to figure out how to make our ERP financial system handel numbers in the billions of dollars"

I made a bunch of other stupid comments... like "apple is going to start using Intel procs" and was yelled at by my apple fan boi " THATS NEVER GOING TO FUCKING HAPPEN"

But im just a moron.

But transmeta... there was a palpable fear of them at intel at that time....
Is the same true for other compiled languages? Like Golang?
I've worked with JavaScript weenies who are in love with the const declaration. They don't have an answer, though, when I ask, "Shouldn't the compiler be able to notice that a variable isn't changed in it's lifetime?" Most of the const values are just local and never leave the function but the weenies continue to stomp their feet when I use "var".

The compilers are smart. Let them do their thing.
I don't think he's saying that you shouldn't use const (if he is, I vehemently disagree!) just that using it won't make the code faster. It will definitely prevent you, or the next maintenance programmer, from making a lot of dumb mistakes.

The article is very good.
Having been a nuke on both US fast attack and ballistic missile subs, I would say any assessment of current US or Russian sub capabilities listed in these comments are not accurate unless that person is currently in the sub service. If they are, they are not going to say anything, anyway. i.e. The Silent Service.
'Worrying changes' is putting it lightly. For those who haven't read the article - there is a very alarming trend of reducing double-jeopardy protections in England. I.e. to allow people to be tried for the same crime again, even if they were found not guilty the first time.
Two things

* If you are willing to spend $10 on chocolate, well then you deserve to open yourself up to being hoodwinked by marketing and branding.

* More and more people are buying stuff not for its intrinsic value but as a status symbol. From the super smug colleague showing off their Oat milk in the fridge and artisanal roasted beans. To the person buying bespokoe sunglasses (which are sourced from the same factory as Ray Ban). Not forgetting the Avocado on toast hipster, whose appetite is causing drought and deforestation across the world.

That is a bad faith, gross oversimplification of what happened. Their employers used them as part of a political optics campaign and threatened to dock their pay if they didn't play along. Saying "I'm going to shoot you if you don't leave your desk" and "Tomorrow we have a scheduled weapons test that will be concentrated around your desk area" are technically describing the same event. The illusion of free will doesn't mean there's a choice.

These people didn't have "attend political campaign rallies" as part of their job description.
The Western media basically surpassed any news of violence in the protests, barely mention any anti-protest rally in Hong Kong. What a surprise then that you have bunch of ignorant people who eat this up like a bunch of sheep.

> Literally every CEO would laugh at this statement in the privacy of their office, while they engineer stock manipulation to trigger their stock options and retire in 5 years.

While this may be true of some, I don't think all CEOs want to stop working. Nor are all of them principally concerned with wealth.

Can you not imagine a CEO driven to satisfy their customers and employees? I can think of several.
Same here. My hope is that they don't try to add to much to KSP1, and just focus on fixing the obvious issues. Most of those problems were due to the engine anyway so perhaps this will work out.
same, I tried it once, and thought it was bland..... and kinda crappy/cheap tasting.

Jackie Chan is entitled to his opinions.

During those protests there have been rioting and ransacking of the local Parliament with some expressing views that HK was not, or should not be, China. This can genuinely trigger feelings of patriotism and outrage.

The lastest protest seems to have been peaceful and to have respected the authorities' restrictions as much as possible so it may be that they have understood that using violence was playing into the hands of the other side.
You are right this is very much still an MVP. Trying to answer questions here before posting them on the site to make sure they are the right questions.

That said, our frontend is just the tip of the iceberg we have much more involved backend including ElasticSearch instances with 60m indexed real estate listings, description, property details, etc. workers with redis queues collecting new listings and a massive database of neighborhood data, such as poverty rates, population growth, crime rates, school ratings, walk distance, demographics, property tax rates, prices and rent info.
const doesn't actually stop data from changing, just reassignment.

const user = {id: 1, status: 'active'};
user.status = 'disabled';

is valid javascript
your question only makes sense if they are using const for performance reasons... which I don't think anyone does. No real reason for using var anymore over let in production code.
I'll still use var in the console for testing stuff.
Disclosure: Former Googler

I didn't think I would laugh that hard coming in here and reading these comments, but here we are. I can virtually guarantee that the following things are not the root of the problem:

* Lack of compute/networking/storage

* Incompetence of employees

* Back to school traffic spikes

* Just about anything else here

My $0.02. these are almost always due to bad roll outs, usually configuration changes. But I've been wrong countless times before!
Const is primarily for documentation to indicate that the assignment happens only once and won't be redefined. Using 'let' or 'var' indicates to the reader that the variables value will be reassigned in the function.

It's not about the compiler.
Safer, maybe, but nothing beats truly owning real estate.

I have a few rental properties, all managed by a property management co.

I can cash out re-fi and roll it into another property tax free, rinse and repeat. Buy > Rehab > Rent > Refinance > Repeat.

I can take the property and sell if it appreciates.

I can do a 1031 tax exchange for a similar property.

Or I can just continue to rent it out.

Best part is I can use other people's money as leverage to buy much more property, and if the deal makes sense at the time of purchase/deal analysis, I won't be over-leveraged and will stand to make money, with multiple exits as options.

After paying off the note, I can seller finance it to someone (rent-to-own) if I wish, at whatever interest rate I/my buyer deems appropriate.

Can't do that with REITs, unfortunately. But in terms of being truly passive, REITs fit the bill!
And then there is the 'could'. So it doesn't really mean much of anything without more substantiation. Btw, the 90 tons is based on gear box driven wind turbines, but SOTA has been direct drive for many years now.
Inlining especially is call-site dependent. Little of the benefit of inlining comes from eliminating the call overhead on a modern processor. But quite often, functions are called with one or more parameters constant. So that enables a bunch of constant folding for that call site -- the compiler is good at noticing that if(1<7) is always going to be true, and dropping out the whole else branch, which can enable code motion and more common subexpressions... so inlining is often a win but often people misunderstand exactly why.
If it's possible to implement AGI on a computer, a 4004 with enough RAM attached can do it... very slowly. So the speed/size trade-off is implicit unless we take a pseudo-spiritualist view that computing machines just can't be intelligent.

There's two big options out there: either it requires much, much more computation than we can readily employ even to do it relatively "slowly", or we don't know how.

The former has a little bearing on the balance between a transistor's computational capabilities and a neuron's, but even so is largely orthogonal.

As to parallelism, it doesn't work that way. If you get nine women pregnant, you don't get a baby per month. If we've made a working but far-too-slow-for-us-to-realize-it AGI, making more of them doesn't help us understand the problem.

Actually no, compilers can't assume that `foo` is const.

var foo = 0;
eval("foo = 1");

With that said, virtually nobody uses `const` for performance reasons, but for developer readability and avoiding mistakes.
Thanks, that was an educational read. Much appreciated.
I don't think that is a role or a power a government should have. I am aware other countries tend be less certain about this than the US. However, looking at data here you can see that it's still not a small amount of people in other Countries. Even at times exceeding 50%.

Image with some interesting data.

Honestly there is more discussion, about this coming out of the US because we consider a wider area of things as free speech. It really comes down to the fact we see other entities not following the same principles we hold our government too. However, like I said earlier people or other private entities do not have to have the same standards or be consistent like a government.

Also that is one the biggest problems with giving government the power to police speech is how to be consistent.

I wonder if you've tried Factorio?
Comparing "const" and "var" is incorrect; the former is block-scoped (like "let"), while the latter is function-scoped.

More to the point, "const" in JS is a maintainability tool to prevent accidental reassignment. I don't think people use it for performance reasons, nor should they.

The answer is there are many ways in which the trust documentation can be completed and structured. Clearly you have never heard of this type of structure since is it really common even in normal trusts. It isn't really that weird.

For example: My friend has a trust that was structured such that, he was allowed 5k for graduating high school, and 5k for graduating college, and then he was not allowed any other access to his fund. He will not be allowed any other access to his fund until he turns 40. Any other expense has to be deemed an emergency and signed off on by a board of his trust which includes only bank employees, and his trust manager, he has virtually no influence over them. There have been times that he really needed his money and they deemed that he did not, and voted against giving him access to his own funds. So in short, YES what you are being sarcastic about is how trust often work.

I suspect based on your tone you are trying to be sarcastic and snarky and don't actually care about the intricacies of trust structures. I won't answer any of your questions directly, because they are unclearly written, but will instead suggest that this information is very easy to find with a quick search.
I can't find any information on linux support with KSP2. Does anyone have a link with more linux information? One of the many reasons I loved KSP was robust linux support.
But it doesn't parallelize. Watching 1000 babies for their first 0.365 days isn't going to reveal their potential.

More practically, deep learning experiments were tried in the 80s, but the results weren't encouraging. If they'd left the experiments running for a sufficiently long time, they might have gotten great results. But they gave it a few days, saw the loss rate plateau and hit ^C, and that was that.

Most likely, the early deep learning experiments had some parameters wrong. Wisdom about choosing parameters only came once people could run multiple experiments in a week. So it's likely the same with some hypothetical AGI. Early experiments will have some parameters wrong, and it'll either go into seizures or catatonia. We won't be able to get the parameters right until we can run experiments faster than human brains. Say, simulating 5 years of life in a week, or 250x real time.
> 10% is nothing to sneeze at but it also does not mean it is a game changer.

They give a quote on a practical application:

> The resulting Segway enjoyed a 50-percent increase in range, and four times the torque, which boosted the vehicle’s top speed and allowed it to climb a steep 20-percent grade.

If that scales up linearly to electric cars, that's quite a boost.
I'm curious if Twitter would publish such pieces if the US was favourable with China's position in this conflict. Makes you wonder.
