I agree, the author makes a vague point about the 3080 not being released yet, but AMD also hasn't released their new chip yet.

What I think will be great for consumers is AMD releasing a good competing offer in a similar timeframe as Nvidia releasing their next generation. That may limit the Nvidia price increases, because over the past few generations they have gone up a lot for their top offering. And even a year after release they're still high. That can't stay like that if the next gen mid range AMD has higher performance.

Expensive in time compared to benefit accrued/harm done. At a minimum you have to spend a person's time on it, both in the gathering of a bunch of used phones, the setting up of many phone lines, and the actual work of walking on the street. A small street seeming busy on Google Maps doesn't really matter that much. Especially, if the street is not actually busy, since that's kind of an indicator that people don't really want to use it anyway. So the amount of traffic you'd potentially divert is similarly small.

This seems really obvious to me, so if it doesn't seem that way to you, maybe we just have different priors. I can't explain it any better than this, though.
I do not see how a flat tax is any more or less agnostic about family structure. Unless by "flat tax" all you mean "no deductions/credits for particular aspects of family life", which is not even close to what is usually meant by a "flat tax".

"Flat tax" generally means that any income above whatever the standard deduction is (even if that is zero) is taxed at the same rate.

That removes progressivity from the tax, which in turns is a reflection of the fundamental observation about the marginal value of income - the notion that an extra $1000 to someone who earns $20k a year means something very different than an extra $1000 does to someone who makes $20M a year.

So if you're just arguing for "let's stop using the tax code to promote and inhibit certain kinds of behavior", then you should probably say that.

If you're actually arguing for a conventional "flat tax", then I don't see what that has to with either UBI or "family structure".

Ask HN: Issues of a Growing Startup?
I work at a startup, we are growing fast and I have recently noticed some worrying signs in the Engineering area:

- features are moved from research to production in a rush. No analysis of what is to be done is performed, tickets are created 1 week, max 2 weeks before release and the person chosen to work on it needs to figure it out by herself asking around.

- there is a lot of micro-tasks that are requested horizontally from Engineering team member to Data Scientist (and vice-versa). This is probably due to the problem above, too little analysis is done before estimating the ticket and people are left alone to figure out what to do. This creates a lot of stress.

- junior (and sometimes senior) members of the Data Science team do not use the product and are not interested or even aware of the mission/strategy. This creates a divide between their thinking of what is needed to do (more advanced ML in their opinion) and what is needed to grow the business and the product

- Engineering team is split into areas of the tech stack and not into areas of the product. Those teams have separate stand up and the Data Scientist team has their own stand up. I think Feature teams would make sense but the management disagrees (reason is we are not that many and most work this year will be around improving the infrastructure).

At this point I am asking myself if this is normal in a startup that is starting to grow or there are some worrying signs here. Have you been in a similar situation? What did you end up doing? How did the company change?
I live in Metro Vancouver, BC. We get our fair share of articles about street crime, homelessness, and opioid abuse.

Rightly so, because we have a crisis. San Fran has a crisis, too.

Your city may be other things to you, but this crisis is coming to define it in both the eyes of outsiders and in the lives of a significant number of its residents.

"Keep tasks small"

Thats the key.. Break down the task into smaller chunks and work on them with tests, then bring them into the larger codebase. Once you start ping-ponging all over the place you don't stand a chance at being 10x.

"Provide a quiet work place so that programmers can focus."

Thats another great one. I get a lot done some nights because its really quiet.

Also, some programmers might be faster but they introduce a load of bugs and you end up playing ping-pong bug hunt.

I had this outsourcing company that would fix one bug, but introduce another 1 or 2 bugs. It was really frustrating.

Its like there was a lack of thought into the program flow, just hacking until it sort of works.

You are required to feed clothe them and deliver them to school. If you don’t do that you’ll get social services on your back very quickly and eventually they’d be taken into care.
By definition, big-O is for predicting the run-time growth of a specific implementation. It doesn’t directly apply to formulas. And it’s not an abstract concept that applies to arbitrary inputs that the program you’re analyzing can’t process by design. You cannot assume arbitrarily large inputs.

The reason 64 bit mults are constant is because we have a hardware implementation of multiplication that has a constant predictable run time. When you use the built-in mults, you get to use O(1) for the purposes of your complexity analysis in return for a hard limit on the size of numbers you can multiply.

Your bubble sort example is contrived, but the answer is that it is okay to call a sort of 10 elements constant if that’s one component of a system and it doesn’t grow as the size of your input grows. The point of big-O is to understand the run time growth of your program, and if the sort inside doesn’t change as your input changes, then that piece is constant.
Google is not reliable in terms of chat apps. Its just a matter of time before they kill hangout also over night. I wish they are as committed to IM as email. Everyone in my circle used Gmail and it will be great if IM also happens on Google, so by checking the email address, I can see all correspondences.

Also if Microsoft made it possible to search Skype messages from Hotmail/Outlook.
This advice is not universally valid.

There are plenty of situations where renting is greatly advantageous.

Being dogmatic is what everyone needs to avoid. Being preconditioned to the idea that buying is automatically a good decision is to be avoided as well - when you take out huge loans with little equity you end up paying twice or more for the property - not to mention the massive costs of owning a home: from taxes to crippingly expensive home repairs. You can easily end up paying three or four times more than renting. Had you invested just the difference, in thirty years you'd be a million dollars ahead.

As always weigh the options and choose the one where the long-term math checks out.
I think it's saying that the "optimal allocation" "of people into workers and researchers" can result in ... uh, something they're calling "expanding cosmos" (as opposed to "Empty Planet") but I couldn't find any mention of space colonization.

:) Thanks for the feedback. Will keep in mind! I was not planning to build an exact rip-off but rather thinking how existing products that we know would influence our thinking.
At that time I wanted to read about compiler building. Missed that I'm University. That video made me skipping that. The standard books do not exist for this level of evolvement.
That's interesting. The opposite is true for me, but I can see (in the specific circumstance of C vs C++, at least) how you would see it that way. For me to find C++ easier (or equally easy) to read or write than C, it has to be a very particular subset of C++.

Do you find it to be the case generally, that larger / more complex languages result in code that's easier to read and write? If so, are there many exceptions?
There is considerable reportage of food stamp usage on for e.g sugar soda based drinks, and whether even restrictions on usage such that vegetables should be purchased and soda banned to inhibit diabetes. Inference being ' its our money and 'they' dont know whats good for them'. Ubi would be distributed as some credit ( not 'money' ) , and in an era where everything is tracked, its usage and your monitoring by the 'state' (or whatever apparatus is used) does not paint a pretty picture of utopian freedom.
It may also be an exercise in converting money to a digital format to enable negative rates and forced expenditure. The poorest will likely not resist such a change, it will seem a bargain. Cash would abolished for all and 'banks' and 'bankers' would be permanently entrenched.

Certainly automation will potentially free up some labor, and the currently underway automation of thought processes will take out some (or all) middle class roles.
Until there is some sort of direct democratic methodology i would not trust any of these utopian policy makers.
A future where you own nothing, and timeshare a place of living, transport etc strikes me as one with zero social mobility and is a prime candidate for corruption.

If it's that disruptive to chat. Perhaps the extra effort of going elsewhere.

Then reduces meetings. As Jeff Bezos says "communication is terrible"

Perhaps all that chit chat and meeting time is put to good use instead.
That’s a good point, I’ll think about it some more.

I suppose I just wish that writers could talk about the issue with a little more nuance.
The consumer products and services economy (and its enablers in government) is what happens when basic production gets way more efficient and the elite needs a new way to trap the underclasses in wage slavery and keep all the profits for themselves.

It's unsustainable nonsense, and incompatible with any sort of long-term stable future. The economic battery whose poles are the first-world consumer and the third-world sweatshop worker will run down eventually, and it's long past time to start thinking about how we'll adapt when that happens.
Note that there are ~360,000 babies born everyday.

On average today, 70% of Americans live to the age of 65. That rate varies greatly from country to country, but let’s assume that due to improvements in medical science and wealth, the likelihood of anyone born today, worldwide, being 50%.

After that, it’s a bit tougher. But today, the likelihood of a person aged 65 reaching the age of 100 is 3%. I couldn’t find data on the odds of 101, but let’s assume that this percentage will also be 3% in the future.

This means that there are approximately 5400 babies born today, that should reach 101. So almost certainly there is someone who will qualify as a Human Palindrome?

As mentioned, there are only two of these special 101 year gaps, in the 10,000 years from 0 to 10,000. Almost certainly there were no cases of this from 1000 to 1100?

So some baby born today will almost certainly become a trivia question answer for hundreds (thousands?) of years to come? Based on nothing more than the day they were born.
UBI is fine as a technical tool.

But it is a political disaster. It creates a fundamental divide in society.

Are you tired of hearing about folks receiving undeserved 'handouts' for things like food stamps today?

UBI would supercharge that and cement it as a fundamental understanding of ones status in society
> [...] increasing the supply of low cost housing dramatically? They are pretty much prerequisites for UBI.

Yes, I'm sort of surprised that fixing housing costs is not the first priority of people who want UBI ASAP. As I see it, if you don't start adding supply to the housing market quickly, a UBI would actually become a regressive policy where a tax on consumption (VAT) is effectively transferred to land owners. On the intended effect of reducing inequality, it might be counterproductive.
It's almost a "frozen o-rings" moment.
I don't understand that logic - the complex piece might require tons of research, experimenting with different approaches, benchmarking etc, before getting to something committable. And the successful result might only be a small number of lines.

Decision to seek financial independence and to retire as early as possible. I’m not there yet, but I already mentally don’t give a damn - if they fire me, there are plenty of other jobs when I can get the capital I’m still missing to reachy goal. This is a very freeing way to work, otherwise I’d go crazy with stress from my job.
No one says "je m'osef".. :roll_eyes:
I fully agree with the notion (go for a more premium market - even though I'm sure you could have a long discussion what's the right market and price point here, e.g. $100 seems a bit much for a lot of the "professional blogger" market), but I'm not sure framing a business expense in terms of daily coffee is a good comparison to communicate its value.

Are your customers likely to be the kind of people that go out multiple times a month in expensive cities?

Some of your customers are small outfits (single person, or side-project of multiple people), a group of people where I'd expect "daily expensive coffee" is seen as more frivolous then spending the same on a sensible business expense.

And larger businesses don't think in those terms at all when budgeting, but much more in risk, saved employee hours, saved money spent on contractors handling the same thing, ... The "nice meal" analogy might work slightly better here, but also always has the risk of seeming out of touch for people from other regions.
Maybe some sort of small fission power plant.

Gundam is the only answer.
That will probably happen eventually but at that point, with UBI in place, we could increase the level to something people can live on. If, say, we get to a point where 90% of people can't find jobs, we really won't have a choice. Essentially we'll need to give the general population a share in the productivity of the robots.

In the meantime, with most people having at least low-paying jobs, we can start with something more modest.
> without UBI, there is a small number of people who die every year due to not having (sufficient) income

If workers spend a few days per year to pay for your ubi that takes away that time of their life. If they spend 1% of their life working for ubi it’s 1% of workers life lost. That’s asking quite a lot.
Got it. My idea is to simplify pricing and just offer the core functionality and not too much distraction. Pricing is one reason I decided to build this. Agree about the free market. I was also more concerned about how existing products we know would influence our thinking about the product (even though I could see a few different directions this could go).
You could, and it would be correct. But few would understand at first. It sounds like "caisse", like in "caisse de vin" (crate of wine).
What's the 'hard way'?
At a most basic level, crime is a "haves" problem, in that those that have have something to lose. The more you have, the more you stand to lose if order breaks down. In the same way the people with more buildings should pay more into a fire department, those more destabilized by potential crime should be paying to alleviate it, or better yet prevent it. Think of low income housing, and the prevention of ghettos forming as the precautionary side of a coin, and police force as the reactionary. For a city obsessed with data driven decision making, it sure feels like a bunch of fingers in ears refusing to acknowledge a truth.

I can’t read the article, so forgive me if that’s backed by research rather than just anecdata, but… is that really an issue people would have?

I would love UBI, because it would transform what I could do with my time. Instead of working 9–5 on software for a company, I could build whatever I want. There are tons of app ideas floating around in my head that I just don’t have time to build. And I could release them for free or cheap, because my survival wouldn’t depend on them being profitable.

With UBI, I would expect to see many more people building open–source software. I would expect many more going into the arts. I would expect many more doing volunteer work. There are so many fulfilling and valuable things to do that are not easily profitable!
while I'm sure plenty of people in law enforcement haven't 'gotten the memo' that polygraphs don't actually work, I suspect in many cases they do them anyways exactly for the reason you describe.

Thank you for trying it! I hadn't tested with the WSL, so I'm relieved it worked there as well. I put a lot of work into making it build from scratch easily.

I started this project because I had been making small games with the PICO-8 and Lua, but I wanted to work on larger projects. There's Love2D, but I find Lua tricky at times, since you often have to reinvent OOP-structures and it's disconcerting with 1-indexed arrays.

Wren is closer to more classical programming languages, so I thought I'd give it a go. :)

HTTP is tricky since the protocol is quite complex. I think it would require an external library. However, creating an interface for net sockets wouldn't be too hard. I'd love to enable multiplayer games with UDP sockets in the future :)

The Wren runtime is very extensible, so if I can code it with C, it can be made available to users of DOME!
Sociétal is mostly about values and social is about the community.

This is like a modern day Access right?
The fear is, like the agricultural and industrial revolutions, that change will suddenly spring forward at a rate that society can’t adapt fast enough.

And people are unemployed, or worse they are employed but at a rate they can’t afford to live, so are one of the tens of thousands of homeless in LA alone. They work 18 hours a day 7 days a week, so are dangerous as they drive to their third job at 3 in the morning which causes a crash which means massive traffic problems all day.

Even if you are a cold blooded Victorian thetr are benefits to keeping your customers alive and with enough free time to buy the crap you peddle.
>An AI revolution is not required to eliminate jobs.

Yes it is. If you have tasks that cannot be automated, people's labour will have value. It would require AI that is as good as any human, and that is cheaper of course, to eliminate all jobs. And even then rich people may prefer human labour for nostalgic or signalling reasons. Eliminating all jobs is a tall order.

Yes the comment is "funny" since from what I understand, Google wanted a relatively simple language that a lot of people could use in large projects.
It’s been perfected over the last two decades. I also argue that WPF is much better albeit less designer-driven.
French does, too... the Académie Française makes sure of that and slaps you on the wrist if you use loanwords. Germans are rather more laissez-faire about it, and recently are absorbing rather a lot of English. For example, the other day my mother told me that she was going to go "walken", which I guess is a brisk walk for exercise purposes.
Not sure, as I never used it. The filter engine runs in user space and several behaviors can be implemented as COM instances.

>> Snap is similar, although it requires AppArmor, so can't run on many popular distros,

> I'm not sure why you continue to repeat this factually incorrect information. AppArmor is not required. In fact, guessing you being a Fedora user, you can verify that by installing snapd from your distro repositories.

I'm sorry, what I meant to write is, it doesn't run equally well on many distros; you get a first-class or second-class experience depending on which LSM your distro has chosen to use. This is not the case with Flatpak, because it doesn't use any LSM for sandboxing.

Although I've heard there were attempts to enable LSM stacking in the kernel, which would provide a way to solve the problem; do you know the current status of that?
