John, this is an industry with a huge graveyard of failed startups doing the same thing. And the only ones left - Artsy, just went through a huge firing and recapping and I wouldnt give them long. Leaf group is trying to get rid of Saatchi in a fire sale and ArtFinder is barely break even with a team less than a dozen and making money from charging artists.

So given this idea does not seem different than the many before (and far from the 10x YC talks about when the needed improvement of a product to win a space), what am I missing?

Is there an underlying technology, unique community angle, or do you believe the timing wasnt before from the time of Artix to 2019 but 2020 is the year.

I love artists and design, and am shocked this has not happened yet, so Im rooting for you.

A tip for finding out the email of a Github user: choose any of their commits, open it on Github and add ".patch" at the end of the URL, like this [1]. There's a good chance they use a real email to sign their commits.

It's not just you. There's definitely a similar "we know how to do everything better, which means differently" vibe here, and a similar penchant for rewriting everything to minimize library dependencies outside of the ecosystem.

But with Go, at least it's the community as a whole making the decision to be like that - people might shy away from cgo, for example, but it's a convention, not a hard limitation. And if you do decide to use Go in your app, you still get to choose how much or little of it there will be.

With Elm, it seems that there isn't any community consensus along these lines, or even a community in the same sense (i.e. that can establish a consensus that would be meaningful). It's practically a religion - you get the rules delivered to you on stone tablets, and you're either all in or all out. Except in this religion, there are new stone tablets every couple of years.

It might be an overly uncharitable comparison, but I can't help but remember https://wiki.lspace.org/mediawiki/Abominations_Unto_Nuggan. Especially "Abomination 6543: Umbrellas or any other Devices that shield the wearer from the Blessings of Nature", in the context of native/kernel code.

If it's about performance, that is usually not the case. In a few cases one could get a performance improvement using move semantics - most other new features are only about safety and convenience.
For a hobbyist like me, Elm bounced around far too quickly that every time I returned to my side project it was incompatible. Worse, a library I would be using wouldn’t have made the upgrade so... that seemed OK in the first year or so but after a while you need some stability. The author is 100% right about how Elm’s package manager and repository are the only ones available and they can be really lacking sometimes.

No. For example, TARP was completely unwound after about 6 years (and ended up making a small profit too).

You've been posting a bunch of flamewar comments to HN. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22823753 was particularly shameful. That's easily a bannable offense.

I disagree with your assessment. Web Applications involve running JS downloaded from a remote source. If this is closer to slices, as the article says (did you read it? assuming yes, as this is HN and not reddit), then it is very different. Web applications are not native UI, and often have far worse experience and clunky usage of things like cameras, peripherals, system audio, etc. Slices would ostensibly be native code bundles, verified and tested by Apple. Moving away from web-ish experiences to native ones is a huge win in my book.

PS/opinion/fluff: There is also the implementation detail of language. Swift/ObjC is significantly superior to JS.

Most of that is only a problem because of the underlying assumption that if it weren't true you'd sue the person saying it for defamation. Which really makes the problem worse in the cases where you can't sue, because the poster is outside your jurisdiction, you can't identify the poster, lawyers cost too much, etc.

If anyone can post anything without repercussions, who would believe it without solid evidence?
The core issue with surface (text) quality is essentially that classic texture filtering fails for surfaces here.

So we set a higher DPI than usual, and then use a supersampling algorithm with a suitable kernel as a lowpass filter. This allows us to avoid artifacts while maintaining sharpness.
I appreciate the feedback. Defending wordy stream-of-consciousness writing style is not a hill I want to die on.

I did realize that if I have to throw a million cores at something vs. 1000 perhaps it would make sense to spend the effort or buy the time from an expert in C++ so as to save on the compute cost. But then, what if those million cores are only needed for a a day or an hour? Then python or some other rapid prototyping language would make a bit more sense imo.

> But what work is calling these things illusions doing for you?

It serves to help distinguish that which is reducible to more fundamental ontological entities, from that which is irreducible and thus ontologically fundamental.

I agree that these concepts certainly fulfill useful causal and explanatory roles. Whether they are "necessary" has some room for debate.
The thing is, if you're an atheist (and I write from one of the non-USA countries in which being an atheist is entirely unremarkable) then experience (or qualia) and consciousness itself are still very mysterious, but it's hard to avoid the conclusion that it must all be a side effect of processing or information somehow.

Daniel Dennett has some good stuff on this (see Consciousness Explained, etc). Its not that he knows the answers, but his point is that consciousness might not be exactly what we think it is, there are lots of thought-traps around it, so we have to carefully unpick some of our assumptions about it to get anywhere - e.g. what he calls the cartesian theatre is one very powerful misconception (too long to explain here).

Also I always like to drop this Iain Banks quote in these kinds of discussions (from A Few Notes About The Culture)

Certainly there are arguments against the possibility of [strong] Artificial Intelligence, but they tend to boil down to one of three assertions: one, that there is some vital field or other presently intangible influence exclusive to biological life - perhaps even carbon-based biological life - which may eventually fall within the remit of scientific understanding but which cannot be emulated in any other form (all of which is neither impossible nor likely); two, that self-awareness resides in a supernatural soul - presumably linked to a broad-based occult system involving gods or a god, reincarnation or whatever - and which one assumes can never be understood scientifically (equally improbable, though I do write as an atheist); and, three, that matter cannot become self-aware (or more precisely that it cannot support any informational formulation which might be said to be self-aware or taken together with its material substrate exhibit the signs of self-awareness). ...I leave all the more than nominally self-aware readers to spot the logical problem with that argument.

Edit: changed 'cant really avoid the conclusion' to 'its hard to ...'

Yah similar to zapita's reply below, if this person is a driving force in redhat's past, you probably won't see any changes if you liked what they were doing in the past.

The thing is, this is how Redhat Wins and has been winning ... I think redhat won't disappear because of this leadership style, but this is how it has been getting contracts, making money, getting sponsorships, and being attractive enough to be bought by IBM.

Ways to Stay Healthy While Working from Home
I love this idea and I'm sure you'll figure out the pricing stuff eventually. I have to admit the whole focus on price kind of throws me off a bit. Whenever I go looking for pretty things, be it art or furniture or decorative objects I rarely start by looking at the price – I look at the thing itself and if it strikes a nerve then I figure out things like "can I afford this?"

To that end, I'd like a view where the focus is the art itself. Not who made it, not what it costs, not even the name of the piece. Let me discover that as I go, show me full screen pictures I can swipe through on my screen, and tap or click to learn more about the piece. Make the art the focus and put everything else in the background, Not even showing it till I'm interested in learning more. That's what I love about going to galleries – the art takes center stage and if you want to learn more there's a tiny sign next to it, and if you want more still you talk to whoever works there but the art comes first. I feel like your site is trying a bit too hard to make a sale. I absolutely agree that artists should be paid for their art, and I'm happy to pay for art that I care for, but ultimately I just want pretty things. Show me the pretty things first, then let's talk business when I find something I like. I'm sorry if this comes off as too callous!

Also – and this is probably a really difficult problem to solve – I don't really know what I'm looking for in art. I just know some things I like, but probably not all. I love Monet and other impressionist painters, but I also love old Japanese woodblock prints like the great wave. I'm also a huge fan of cubism and I can't get enough of art nouveau. I'm not a huge fan of abstract art, but I like some. I love evocative photography, especially in black and white. I feel like maybe my taste profile fits a multi-spoke radar chart, where each data point is a relative preference rather than a binary I like this or that type tick box filter. I'm not exactly sure what I mean by all this, just that your search does nothing to help me, and I'm probably not gonna spend too much time looking at page after page of stuff that may or may not be interesting to me. I would 100% subscribe to a feed that fits my profile though, and especially so if it's smart enough to also understand other types of art I don't know about, but perhaps might fit my profile anyway. I guess what I'm saying is, if your site could be my personalized art dealer, there's a good chance I'll spend more money then I probably should.

> The regulations should improve quality, but will also make it more difficult to obtain PPE from China.

This is actually a great idea! We should all be finally supporting this.

People have been complaining for the past 20 years of poor quality from China made goods. But, what do they expect?

They want to buy a $1 USD dollar item, and expect it to be as good quality as a $10 USD dollar item.

What kind of moron failed at basic math, that they can't understand this?

By having all China made goods be labeled as: "Made in China", then you mix the crap with the spectacular. It tarnishes the national brand. There needs to be more distinction.

The China government, should now create 2 or 3 classes.

1) High Quality Products, certified by the China Government

2) International Products, certified by foreign companies

3) Low Quality Products, not certified by anyone, so buy it at your own damn risk, and don't blame China for it

This can actually help shift poor products to other countries. Then, the new "Made in OtherCountry" products, can be known as the crap products. Or, every country should probably do this, if they want to avoid being known as a low quality manufacturer.
> Does that range start at 0 or 1 or some other value?

What does range mean? Is it English? Attacking every single possible element of a language is not compelling. The defacto standard, is 0 indexing. The exceptions index at 1.

> - start = time.time(): doesnt need any explanation

People often oversimplify the concept of time. However, on average, the cognitive load for Python is lower than most. Certainly less than Swift. In one case I would look up what time.time actually did and in the case of Swift, I would throw that code away and work on another language with less nonsensical functions, like PHP. /s

It'll take a while to unwind, no doubt about that.

The Fed currently holds ~$5.8 trillion, but it's long term holdings are about ~$1 trillion in current dollars, so it's holding an addition ~$4.8 trillion above what it normally has since the early 2000s.

In October of 2014, it held ~$3.7 trillion, or ~$2.7 trillion above what it normally holds, so the recent increase to $4.8 trillion above baseline isn't quite an order of (base 2) magnitude increase.

Having said all that, the net worth of households and non-profits in the US is about ~$118 trillion.

And your mind plays sleight of hand all the time, which Dennett clearly establishes in his work. Or do you actually see the physical blind spot that's a fundamental feature of your eyeball?

>The problem with being 25 is that you have about 8 years ahead of you before you figure out how full of shit everyone is in their twenties, and maybe another 8 before you figure out that everyone is full of shit and stop worrying quite so much about it.

Boy there is some truth right here. It wasn't until long after I graduated undergrad that I realized just how much bullshit is out there. Even in the science world! When I started actually reading the methodology of studies with impressive sounding conclusions, I realized that easily 30-60% were just garbage. The specific journal really, really matters. I'd say 90% of science journalism targeting laymen is just absolute bullshit.

I started actually chasing down wikipedia citations and OMG they are bad!! Half are broken links, a large fraction don't support the conclusions they're being used for, and a massive fraction are really dubious sources.

I realized that so many people I respected are so full of shit.

I realized that so many of MY OWN OPINIONS were bullshit. And they STILL are. I hold so few opinions that are genuinely well-reasoned and substantiated. They are so shallow.

Yet, this is just how the world works. Human intuition is a hell of a drug. A lot of the people I respect tend to be right, but for all the wrong reasons. It's SOOOO rare to find people that can REALLY back up their thinking on something.

> Another potential advantage could be, factories are closer to natural resources, but it seems to me that that's not as much a question of efficiency, as it is of lax (enforcement of) environmental standards.

Not at all. Being close to your inputs means you don’t have to ship them as far to make use of them. And the shorter the distance you have to ship them, the less you will pay for shipping. Lower overhead equals higher efficiency.

It’s like, why were car factories in the U.S. clustered around the Great Lakes? Because car factories need steel, and the steel mills were in Pennsylvania. And why were the steel mills in Pennsylvania? Because steel mills need coal, and the coal mines were in Appalachia. You could theoretically build these factories anywhere, but the company that built close to their inputs would have an economic edge over the company that didn’t.
