I disagree strongly with your idea of "poor people would just spend on drugs" but there's a nugget of reason in it - there's a high risk that UBI without rent control would just be subsidizing the landlords, without actually helping the people.

I've always wondered how and why Geoff Bezos ran Amazon with six page essays and now I think I'm a bit closer to understanding.
In my experience renewable energy, electricity and nuclear are highly controversial topics on HN. Like with this post, I often get heavily up- and downvoted by different camps. It correlates with time of day, so I suspect I have a European perspective.

My citizenship can't identify me individually. If I use a VPN that makes me appear like I'm in China, I'm still in Europe so I think my data should still be treated as if I'm in Europe. My location/residency is a matter of fact.
For DD, it seems initial screening of as many phages, microbes and compounds as possible using highly-automated brute force might be plenty efficient to test their effectivenesses against every horrible, resistant and opportunistic pathogen for candidate identification. Maybe flying drones out to collect samples in as many random places (public places, restrooms, dirt and even more random places) as possible, generating more samples than a team of humans ever could.

There doesn't seem to be any "One True Way," but a holistic synthesis of collection, identification and selection methods.

My point is solar hot water heaters are generally the better solution, even if they don’t work in the very far north. But, if you’re that far north heat pumps also fail.

In my home it definitely works. We say "Wow, a NAMED storm is coming tomorrow". We say it in a half joking tone, because the naming thing is a bit quirky, but we do pay more attention and are more careful when it's named.
Probably raw WebGL. Canvas 2d is limited and doesn't perform very well for a large number of polygons. And I'm not aware of any WebGL libraries that have good 2d support.
The thing is that depreciation is not a cash expense, companies will push the depreciation to the highest reasonable amount to reduce the amount of tax on their profits.

A commonly used valuation technique (discounted cash flow or DCF) relies on projected free cash flows and adjusting for expected CAPEX.
True, but if you look at an entire country like Germany, only about 10% of the turbines will be in an area where the wind is too strong as the storm passes through, the others will still produce...
I think there's a well-trodden aphorism that seems apt here: perfection is the enemy of good. The perfectionism that 'pg discusses here seems orthogonal to the goal of useful writing which to an extent has an associated time pressure. I would rather publish often and usefully to achieve the maximum impact on my readers.

Glad I'm not the only one. First few paragraphs lead to a good buildup but going on it fell apart.

Further, It's hard to criticise Graham on HN.
The Guardian recently had a long-ish article [1] on the state of mattress recycling and the economics of buying online. Its a fairly depressing read: these things are super-hard to recycle effectively and just get dumped like toxic waste:

"The mattresses these criminals can’t resell, they fly-tip – Circom has had mattresses dumped outside its warehouse – or dump in landfill. In some cases, fraudsters have been known to rent a shed from an unsuspecting landlord, fill it to the brim with mattresses – and scarper. “There are loads of fake companies out there filling up sheds,” agrees Ray Bagnall, of Matt UK, another mattress recycler. “Dumping them on farms in Sussex or Essex.” He was recently called to clear out a shed full of thousands of mattresses in Snowdonia."

It would be nice to think that a vendor making low environmental impact mattresses would effectively disrupt the market, but it just doesn't seem likely.

> Yeah, essays written in a class that's focusing on persuasive writing should be persuasive. Because that's what the class is about

The five paragraph essay which is typically taught as a foundational expository/analytical writing tool is actually quite poor for analytical writing, and not great for expository writing, but heavily leans on the rule of threes which is a guideline for persuasive communication.

> Schools also teach classes on other types of writing, e.g. creative writing and technical writing.

K-12 often has creative writing as an elective, and often includes assignments which are superficially intended to be something other than persuasive writing on other contexts, but rarely does much to teach techniques appropriate to writing other than persuasive.

See: impeachment proceedings. Concretely, the Trump administration ignored Congressional subpoenas, among other things, in clear acts of obstruction of justice in a way that undermined Congressional authority. Also see, for instance, his treatment of tax returns. Partisan polarization has made the idea of interbranch checks and balances defunct.
> My high school, for example, ended at 2:18pm (I can still picture the clock), but I think this was a consequence of starting at 7:30am.

That's interesting. If your classes are 45 mins or an hour long and you get 5, 10 or 15 minutes to get to your next class, how do you end up with 2:18pm? Also, even if it was 2:18pm, I'd imagine most schools would just round that up to 2:20pm or let you leave a few minutes earlier at 2:15pm.

I don't ever recall any of my classes ending in a none-round number ( time that didn't end with a 0 or a 5 ). I don't recall any school letting me out at a none-round number.

As a matter of fact, I don't recall any stores, government offices or tv shows that didn't open or start at a "round number".

And every meeting I've had ( even multiple meetings in a day ) always was at a "round number". I can't imagine saying lets start the meeting at 2:17pm. Most of the time we'd bump it to 2:30pm. And if we were constrained for time to 2:20pm.
Both PyTorch and Tensorflow are used extensively. If you look at the last year's most popular models - GPT2 and StyleGan - they are both Tensorflow. When I check on Scholar there are many, many results for both Tensorflow and PyTorch from 2019. The most recent stuff I've been working on (because that's what they were published in) have been in Jax.

PyTorch is one of the biggest frameworks but it's unreasonable to suggest it is the only one that matters.
The only reliance you have is on libraries that are often battle tested, well engineered, and cover any project space. Quite different from some other ecosystems I won't mention.... of course YMMV.
Haha this comment must be maximum HN. Hats off!
You have to be sure, like always. You can't write the code dealing with the data you have no clue about.

The type reflects invariants, constraints given for you data. The less you know, the more general type your data would have. Dynamic typing gives no advantages here safe for providing a super-general ANY type.

In case of statically typed language you would need to parse your data and construct an object representing that data just like in case of dynamically typed one. But the more you know about your data in advance, the better, especially when you are dealing with protocols and communication.

"Raising debt" is straightforward and obvious.

No one will read those words and think they are raising equity...
I disagree, what I would want to say in such a situation is simply "this meeting is useless, let me get back to work", but I would be percieved as a grumpy developer with an attitude.

I wouldn't call all the sugarcoating effective communication as I expect everyone in the company to understand that not wasting people's time will let them do more work and benefit the customer in the end.
The model of precision and correctness being opposing forces that increase in strength the more you hone in on one is useful for me and something that I had never put into words before.

Yeah brown-nosing has been a problem since the beginning of time, what's it all for? A bigger yacht?
Tldr to be honest. I kinda clashed right with the premisse: "How to write useful" and "What should an essay be?" are basically conflicting things in some way.

Didn't pg also have an essay on what an essay is and came to the conclusion that an essay is meant to explore a topic for oneself? But could also be that I read this somewhere else.

So, an essay is for the writer to explore stuff and have interested readers go along.

But useful writing is for the reader only. If pg had cut this essay to less than 500 words (and I bet this could've been done without losing information), it'd been a lot more useful, although probably not an "essay" anymore.
What stopped me from using DO is that they will null your server IP address if the server got DDOS. I never heart aws/gcp did this.
It does look amazing. I tried using it for a drawing app, though, and found it too slow. Maybe I was using it wrongly, but long or large numbers of strokes caused issues as it seemed to redraw the whole image more than necessary. I had better luck with just plain canvas, but I'd like to investigate CanvasKit (Skia in WASM) as well, as their drawing demo seems very performant.
Just tell this to the people in Fukushima and Tschernobyl.

Also you worded it like you don’t need mining to produce nuclear energy, it’s not complicated to handle and reactors don’t fall apart over time.
Creating more renewable energy is pointless unless it reduces/replaces the use of fossil fuels. Having more energy than we need is useless, and there's an environmental footprint to even the greenest wind farm.

The point the article is making is that because of the way the renewable industry is being funded (from taxes on electricity consumption), consumers are opting to continue burning fossil fuels rather then use electricity.

This means that the supply of electricity is greater than demand for it, and prices go below zero.

This has two knock-on effects:

1. Investment in electricity production is guided by government policy goals and support, rather than actual demand. The only source of revenue is government redistribution of energy taxes, and that can change quickly depending on government policy. This is not sustainable, there is no incentive here to produce efficient, long-lasting energy production infrastructure. There is only an incentive to maximise government subsidy payouts in the short term.

2. Germany is producing more energy than it needs, and producing energy (from any source) has a negative environmental impact. These policies that were intended to preserve the environment and reduce fossil fuel use are actually causing more environmental damage and preserving fossil fuel use.

Of course, this only considers domestic consumption, and specifically heating. It may be that the policies do better in other areas.
The US can't realistically be considered an elected government until, optimistically, the 1960s. If you want to grant the US a couple centuries worth of mulligans, you can do the same with, at the very least, the UK, and arguably some other countries like Switzerland.

And you ignore the other key point, which is that the US had no real national competitors near its borders, while other countries whose stability you discount did. That's the key point to American stability, not any world historical genius in drafting the Constitution.
Did you ever try to play GeoGuessr game?
I'm not living in USA, I'm living in country which is infamous for its notoriously bad roads (you could say that it is 3rd world country and I will not blame you), so I will not use my homeland as example. But when I'm playing GeoGuessr in USA I often found "myself" on small road with not-so-good tarmac, with wore-out road markings, without any light posts… Google car was here (or there will be no street view), but still.
Are you sure "roads everywhere will get machine assists" soon? Who will pay for that, if now nobody pays to fix tarmac and road markings, not to say about lights installation, which will help EVERYBODY RIGHT NOW?

Airports are completely irrelevant example. There are ~2500 IATA recognized airports out of ~50K "airfields" total, and only ~1000 of these 2500 are equipped with ILS. It is not comparable with millions of kilometers of roads around the planet, even if we will count only "1st world countries".
There isn't one way of doing this.

Quickly figuring out if the model is good, I'd start with a map. If I'm feeling fancy I'll add a schema, if I need to I'll convert to a Record. Because of the way the language works you can probably make those changes without significant logic changes. Its a remarkable language.
Like what is the point of the regulation?
You're still a studient. It is not possible for you to have a good knowledge of software architecture because it is a really complex domain. If you show interest in it, read about it, go to conferences and ask questions, don't worry. Peoples will act cool with you.
Anyway, the only way to progress in dev/software archi/devops/etc is to put your ego aside and accept the fact a lot of peoples knows whay more than you. If you go speak with them and they treat you like garbage, this is their fault, not yours.

If you're really shy/impressed, maybe you can go with some friends and speak about it together. It will help you feel like you understood some things. Architecture is not filled only with youg peoples, and if you're a group of 20+ y/o speaking together, eventually the older ones will come and speak to you. then you can ask them what to read/watch to have deeper understanding
I don't know about the countryside, but Helsinki is heated by district heating using cogeneration from the coal power plants within the city.
Is it really word play: Car Insurance is sold via a talking "cartoonesque lizard", medications that may help your dry skin (or possibly kill you--depending on your particular physiology) are also sold at times via similar talking animated creatures--or implied peer pressure...

That’s basically what put me off trying nomad. Nit just the minimum number, but also their stated hardware requirements. From their documentation:

Nomad servers may need to be run on large machine instances. We suggest having between 4-8+ cores, 16-32 GB+ of memory, 40-80 GB+ of fast disk and significant network bandwidth

Basically the cost if the Nomad masters would be much greater than the cost of what would run my actual applications. That’s a non-starter for me.

> You I think you could be fine with 3 of the smallest machine types.

Maybe, but if that’s their official stance, it would make me very nervous to run a production system with lower spec machines.
Is it difficult? Most of his articles receive quite a lot of criticism on hn.
I think you're right. He's just churning out banal advice on a broad range of topics in which he has limited expertise, in the form of long-winded blog posts. It's so different from his early stuff, it's almost like he's hired a ghost writer to merely give the appearance he's still writing.

What can we do to fight corrupt governments?
I live in South Africa and we have a really frustrating situation here. We have a population of about 60milloon people and around 4 million of those 60million pay taxes that are used to pay out grants to sustain the rest of the population and to fund the bad spending of our corrupt government. They are about to increase taxes here. What could I possibly do to fight back? Ive thought of leavinf the country but there must be something to do to wake up the government to the fact that of thr economy keeps worsening then there will be no tax payers.
Ask HN: How to get started with DSLs and meta-programming?
Hello,

for quite a some time, I wanted to get started with these areas. Now I have some time on my hands, but I don't really know where to look, or frankly, what exactly to look for.

My goal is to "teach my machine to program for me" (I hope you get the gist in the context of this posts title).

What do I want to look for? What prerequisites should I consider? ...

Thanks in advance,

Starvation isn't literal in this context. One can intellectually starve a child. One can have a child be stagnant in their growth, for example by not having them play.
Maybe I misunderstand something, but if x -> f(x) is easy to compute but you want to learn f(x) -> x, then isn't synthetic data exactly what you want to be using?

Example: Training an image upscaling algorithm by feeding it downscaled images. In this case you don't even need to train a generative model (the algorithm is known), but it should illustrate that the generative task can be extremely easy compared to the target task. You can't just handwave that away with "just divide by P(X)".
>How can you ensure that the things you say are true and novel and important? Believe it or not, there is a trick for doing this. I learned it from my friend Robert Morris, who has a horror of saying anything dumb. His trick is not to say anything unless he's sure it's worth hearing. This makes it hard to get opinions out of him, but when you do, they're usually right.

How is this useful? How do I say things that are true,novel,important. Oh well, only say things that you're sure they're 'worth hearing' - where presumably, worth hearing is defined as being true, novel and important.

This seems like quite a solipsistic view of essay writing. If everyone knew how useful their writing was before anyone else read it then the problem he's describing wouldn't exist. No one would choose to publish bad things - the problem is people publish bad things because they don't know they're bad until other people have pointed out why.

All this is really doing is arguing for a bias against publishing - have a high threshold, as a result lots of good ideas will go unpublished, but the few that do get published will make you look good. Is that actually a good solution to provide the most value to the people reading, or is that a good solution to maintain your reputation?

Some probably has to do as blades/axis could break due to stress, which there are videos of turbines with malfunctioning brakes spinning out of control and breaking.

Mostly wind turbines have issues with frequency as you don't want to change/adjust frequency too much (adds to cost) to that of the main grid they only generate when within acceptable frequency ranges and internal equipment is able to compensate.

The NSA would never do anything illegal; if you have a problem with highly misleading and unethical actions being undertaken with flimsy pretenses established by classified memos citing dubious legal justification- then that’s obviously your problem, not theirs.
Also, didn’t the director of the NSA perjure himself when he lied under oath during his sworn testimony before SSCI? No, sorry, he actually gave the “least untruthful answer” and then changed his answer when contradictory facts became public. I would have called that illegal but obviously the NSA has a legal theory and justification as to when they need to provide “untruthful” “facts” to the institutions exercising oversight.
