He's actively directing harassment of anyone who gets in his way. Deciding not to be part of that is not moralizing, it's very practical and might actually be self-defense.
Boo fucking hoo.
So as someone who is normally hypomanic but had a reaction to antidepressants that put me fully manic for a while, I don't think hypomania really needs to be treated with anything other than talk therapy. If I'm aware of it, I can manage the downsides pretty well through emotional regulation techniques like breathing / meditation and exercise. Hypomania can be overall positive if you learn to control it.

Mania on the other hand is basically like, you can't control the shit that comes out of your mouth. You act on every fucking thing that pops into your head, even when you recognize that it's hurting the people around you. You just can't stop yourself; its compulsive and incredibly distressing. People are uncomfortable around you and you can tell. Your judgment is impaired and you don't understand the grey area between right and wrong. You have like 15 thoughts flying through your head and you can't keep any of them straight for more than a few seconds at a time. It really, really sucks.
I love this bit:

Google Ownership Counter
202.345.117 Years until GWEI fully owns Google.
Google gains a lot less span and abuse on its system by doing this.

My preferred solution would be better filtering and abuse handling, but at the moment this feature is a very mixed bag at best.
I've heard consciousness described as "the felt presence of immediate experience," which I've found to be an excellent description of the experience of being embodied in the world -- of being conscious. If consciousness is an emergent phenomenon, meaning if there are atoms flying around spontaneously assembling into more and more complex forms of order until some critical point of complexity is reached and consciousness appears, what's the point of "being conscious" at all? If the assembling of particles into forms of order is what's fundamental, surely that process could just go on and on without any bit of it feeling embodied. It seems to me like the universe could be exactly the same without "the felt presence of immediate experience"/consciousness. Atoms would be whizzing around, people would be pontificating, GPT-3 would be chugging away. It would all just be kind of "empty" -- all surface no substance. I don't need to feel embodied for the world to be the way it is, yet I do, and I struggle to understand why that is.
I think we are witnessing first hand why more education is not always overall better. There isn't much point in having everyone learn British Literature on a 30 year payment plan.
The market can influence it though. If the common stock loses 90% of the value due to the bad ownership structure, the founder’s wealth takes a hit and the employees will revolt or walk. If an outsider says “I will buy or invest in your company if you give up the special provisions” then money will talk.

The reason VCs don’t do this is the companies that become the 1000X outliers generally have the Super-shares.
Google and FB both argued that they send traffic worth of 200M to these publishers? What if they start charging for clicks? Earlier the argument was that they were doing it for free and not getting anything out of it. Now, since they have to pay, its only fair that they charge for the services (ie the traffic through clicks) they provide too
Which would make the x86 licensing deal void IIRC.
That’s a cherry picked example. Good union jobs were more plentiful back then, but by no means readily available to everyone.

Just like today, plenty of people struggled to make ends meet.
Encrypted SNI hides the SNI from an eavesdropper and not from Cloudflare if you are connecting to a Cloudflare-managed zone.
I really can't be bothered to argue in depth but in the backdrop of record high wealth inequality in the US, your idea that the poor just need to spend less is beyond ridiculous.
It's a duopoly, and unless you've got evidence that AMD and Nvidia are colluding to hurt potential competitors there's nothing illegal about it.
Will this create a new copyright license?

Will I be able to pay a license fee and reprint news stories? That could be really cool.
While that’s true, that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about the communicative benefit of type annotations. If you get the benefit from seeing the types, you don’t want them to be inferred. You use them as a reading tool.
Next-generation? What separates this from Ergodox or Keyboardio? And all of the above seem to be a step backwards from the Maltron and Kinesis Advantage which have been around for decades. Dactyl and the like are the only ergo keyboards I might label "next-generation."

"This feature was rarely used and had problems with spam/abuse so we’re removing them to focus on other creator tools. You can still use your own captions, automatic captions, and third-party tools and services."

That seems fair enough to me. Creators can still add captions, it's just viewers that can't add them without a 3rd party service.
I tried it with a custom prompt on AI Dungeon (the paid version uses GPT-3) and I got:

Prompt:

"A recipe is a list of ingredients and instructions to make food. You are a home cook in search of a recipe for banana bread. You open a recipe book and see the following ingredients:"

GPT-3:

"Banana Bread

1/2 cup butter, softened

3 eggs, beaten

1 1/4 cups flour (measured by weight)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square pan with butter. Beat together the butter and eggs until light and fluffy. Add the flour one tablespoon at a time, beating well for each addition. Pour into prepared pan and bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before cutting into pieces."
Do you not know Intel is close to releasing their own GPUs or do you just think they will just fail at it?

Even with the acquisition of ARM, I don't see Nvidia any better off than Intel at this moment as far as CPU/GPU stack goes. Frankly, I would think AMD would be the one to end up by the wayside since they still are weak on the software side.
If you think the crisis does not affect STEM degree holders, you are mistaken. There was a study commissioned by OPSE (Ontario Society of Professional Engineers). The findings directly contradict this oft-repeated wisdom that STEM degrees (or at least T and E in STEM) are a guarantee of a good life. If you have the time, I recommend that you read the full report. Here are some excerpts:

> only 29.7 per cent of employed individuals in Ontario with bachelor’s degrees or higher in engineering were working as engineers or engineering managers.

> A further 37 per cent worked in professional positions that normally require a university degree.

> Those who were not working as engineers and were working in positions that don’t necessarily require a degree made up fully 33.3 per cent of the total.

In other words, there are more people with engineering degrees who work in jobs not requiring any degree at all, than there are people working in engineering.

20 years ago was pretty viable but seems to be dwindling. I'm knowledgeable about finance majors so Ill use that as an example. The top 10% will do fine and make decisions while managing others money. The next 20ish percent will be salesman selling funds to others. The remainder will be writing business requirements so technology can automate their job
SoftBank purchased ARM for $32B in 2016. If this figure is correct it looks terrible for SoftBank. Another one in a string of bad investments.
Sure, but the value added by klobie is by organizing and presenting the bookmarked sites in a useful way. Take a look at the sample board https://klobie.com/v/8oqy1eg/coronavirus
Agree for employee-employer cases. These are complicated lawsuits involving highly personal claims. There is an original power imbalance. And it concerns peoples’ livelihoods.

For customer-vendor relationships, the field is more even. These suits tend to be simpler. And they are, on average, less material. Lowering the bar to litigation is a fair compromise for slightly-lower payouts.
I think they mean that Nvidia / ARM are currently each focusing on what use case and a merger could make them worse at both.
Not sure but I think maybe they were mixing up profit vs. revenue and pointing out how a company can ensure it has zero profit. But I guess you'd also have to be careful about which entity or sub-entities are covered by a license and the revenue limits.
We should stop taking FAANG-like companies as examples of everything:

- they do not represent the majority of tech companies

- the majority of devs out there do not work for them/won't work for them

- their techniques/processes/rules do not apply to the majority of tech companies
> So what they're really saying is, all those other guys (the "well off") should pay more, and then they'd pay more, too.

The well off don't pay much tax, and they will probably pay none at the top end (they'll donate to charity, for example, which they work at, and the charity will fly them around to their meetings, pay for accommodation, etc). Generally it's the middle class who end up paying tax until it's not worth working any harder.

Nvidia might a chip maker, but they aren't really a competing chip maker. The only real competitor to Nvidia is AMD, which does not use ARM IP in any significant amount that I know of.

Nvidia might be tempted to block ARM customers if they had competing designs to push them to, but they don't. So they would be sacrificing revenue without any other sales to make up for it. It doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

This would be a different story if a company like Apple were buying ARM. They could definitely benefit by gouging Samsung and Google on license fees but they've got to balance that with the chance of getting fined for anti-competitive practices.
I mostly wanted to share that fun anecdote.

I don't think anyone suggested that. Society may be better off despite Glass never becoming a professional composer, though.
Wealth doesn't map well to what we're talking about here. No economy can support an unbounded number of "high paying" jobs, for example. While wealth has gone up steadily since the world industrialized, a good (i.e. high paying) job is relative to the current standard of living and so wont be monotonic.
> I don't have TMSC's production costs and what they charge at hand, but i'd hazard that what TMSC make per chip is possibly more than what ARM makes per chip.

Most ARM chips made aren’t pushing 7nm ultra expensive processes - and you are probably still correct.

That’s good take on ARM’s margin per chip.
Yes, that would require them to actually talk to customers. This is anathema to their way of operating.
Just to be a little more clear - I believe the original lock-in agreement with GF has expired, but they negotiated a new one. So they have an agreement about chip purchasing, but they aren't still in the agreement from the spinoff.
Part of it is the software world's fault as well. Almost the entire open source machine learning ecosystem is written for NVIDIA's CUDA and nothing else.

And almost all competent non-CUDA platforms (e.g. Google TPUs, Tesla's secret in-house hardware) haven't been open-sourced, or even sold to consumers, which further enables the NVIDIA monopoly.

I very much like Ocaml signature files. Jane street recommends using them, as an example. There’s no other way to communicate the high level contract of a module. With type signatures that are in line with the code, the high level contract gets lost.
> You make it sound like this feature costs a significant amount of resources and maintenance work. It's simple brokerage

Yes. This right here. This is typical HN. You have absolutely no idea about what it takes to build or police this feature. You have no data about how much this feature is used and abused and by who. Without knowing anything you are confidently asserting that it costs very little to maintain this feature.

I'd ask you to reconsider this approach but tbh, this is the easiest way to farm upvotes on HN. So you do you.

> Yes, because when didn't profit oriented companies only want the best for mankind

I trust them a lot more than people who speak authoritatively while knowing very little.
I recently built a Dactyl Manuform and thought the same thing with the 1.5u outer columns.

For me, at least, it's not a big win. I'm mostly touching the inner edge of the key because my pinkies aren't that laterally flexible.

I like a lot of tilt and low to the desk, and that extra 0.5u of width ends up raising the whole thing more than it needs to.

I have large hands and the ErgoDox thumb cluster is just too damn far away. Bringing it within reach is a meaningful improvement.
And also that big lake next to it rapidly disappearing. Isn’t that something to worry about?
Google uses their dominant position to ask a reduction of 70%. How do you want Koda to accept those terms? Why would artists work with Koda if they don’t push back on such a ridiculous demand? It’s their job to say no here.
Land plants are newer than algae, but green algae is older than red algae (as evidenced by the endosymbiosis order). But maybe green algae got dominated by the others pretty early on.

edit actually that's brown algae that's the derived one. red and green it looks like both come from the original endosymbiosis.
I wouldn't count Intel out yet. Sure, things don't look that great, but same was true of AMD/ATI until recently...
You attempt a really weird spin when you try to attribute the rough patch to the U.S being "rightfully sick of playing world police". When the current commander in chief threatens nuclear war on Twitter and assassinates military commanders on sovereign soil. It's not really hallmarks of a laid-back foreign policy.
You left out the "whatever it may be" part.

this sort of reads as self re-assurement for his son's path; the author is a Harvard professor and I assume daily interaction in academia all revolves around how great and virtuous higher ed is yet he's bucked the trend.

perhaps if he truly feels that way he could leave academia and cease perpetuating the myth?

imo calling it an "investment" is part of the problem. its a pure sunk cost and not an asset.
USPS backlog sparks worries that ballot delivery could be delayed in November
I submitted the initial version of Multi to HN 2 months ago [0], and the response was much larger than I was expecting. Initially, I just built Multi for my personal use, so I cut quite a few corners to get something that worked. When I saw that other folks were actually trying it out, I decided to put it in the work to make the whole experience a bit nicer.

What I'm excited about most with 2.0 is that Multi is a proper macOS app itself, with a UI for creating other apps. That makes the install process much simpler (it's a normal .dmg) and streamlines future updates (install the new Multi "runtime" app and that's it—no need to update each of your generated apps manually).

There are a bunch of other improvements listed on the release page[1]. I'll keep an eye on this thread and answer any questions I can!

Preparing for the next hurricane: Storm trackers and other survival tools
Ah, I see, by "subcompany" they meant their own subsidiaries. Yes, that's why I said "revenue" in the original post, thank you for the clarification.
Apple has a perpetual license on the ARM instruction set, so they just pay a royalty per chip. Apple owning ARM would be a massive problem for regulators, as they'd be the sole source of chips to their competition.

MS and Google don't make chips, and MS doesn't even license any ARM tech (I don't think, they just make software and buy CPUs, they don't make any). They're a bad fit. Google's dipping their toes in it, but I don't think they're doing fully custom silicon. Most companies buy the rights and layouts, and tweak those layouts.

NVidia makes chips, but they don't make many mobile chips, and virtually no chips for phones compared to Samsung and Qualcomm. They're a better fit.
Well, I'm sick and tired of being lambasted by the rest of the world 24/7 and would like to go back to pre-WW2 isolationism.

EU can fend for itself. It doesn't need the US military. And the USA doesn't need NATO. Our military is bigger than the rest of NATO combined.

> Since when does European nations not have their own standing armies

Europe spends very little on their military compared to USA, China, Russia, etc.

> and since when are American army resources used to protect European borders and shipping routes?

US Navy protects merchant ships, oil tankers, cargo ships, fiber optic cables, and more from damage, sabotage, seizure, piracy, and more. If you don't recognize global trade and communications stability provided by US Navy, it's time to be reminded. It's time you protect your own interests with your own money. It's time you deal with Russia on your own without a US presence.

> The US needs the rest of the world as much as the rest of the world needs the US

You just said you don't need "American army resources" because the European nations have their own "standing armies". I whole-heartedly agree. Let Europe use its own military to protect its own interests.

> You seem to be under the influence that the US is somehow being fleeced by the rest of the world

It does seem like "biting the hand that feeds you".

From my perspective EU is like "Cool, USA is taking care of tons of stuff we would normally have to pay for military-wise, so we can use that money instead to provide more social services to our citizens! Also the USA sucks [insert criticisms at every opportunity]"

I think young devs should receive yearly bonus as they are the ones dealing with the mess older devs created. And older devs should get a 20% pay cut.

At least for me, the confusion was cleared up immediately after looking at the article, but that doesn't mean this style of headline isn't any less confusing. After all, lots of places (like HN) only display the headline.

I really hope this doesn’t happen. Nvidia could hike prices for future designs, making devices more expensive as a result.
Each 100ms delay, each form, each extra page makes service lose percents of users (any service, Google, Netflix, Amazon).

A company can convince users to opt-in, but it will lose quite a lot of people, even those who don't really care if they are tracked or not. Simple because users want to use the service, not become legal and technical experts. Understanding how all of it works is really hard.

Their ads product is indeed beneficial to users: users get relevant personalized localized ads (instead of boring ads which can still be seen on TV or paper magazines) and they get better service because the company gets it's revenue from ads.

But most users don't want to know that. They simply want to use the service. (And I suspect vast majority of users would not really care if they are tracked or not if they really knew how tracking and how ads personalization works; I mean really knew technical details, not boogey man explainations from tabloids).
Quote from Matt Omernick, Akili cofounder:
"As a child progresses in game play, the technology is continuously measuring their performance and using adaptive algorithms to adjust the difficulty and personalize the treatment experience for each individual."
and from Web developer and designer Craig Ferguson:
"“It’s a well-known fact that so many mobile games use all sorts of psychological tricks to get people to give them money,” he says. “So we wanted to use the same exact psychological tricks, but to trick [users] into doing something that’s good for them.”"

I understand that this is game is intended to help depression and anxiety. But am I alone in thinking that these states are feedback that is telling you that you are doing something wrong, that you need to make a change, rather than continuing to do something (that you may feel invested in) that isn't working for you? Or if you are bored, that you need to find something more meaningful than being distracted?

From that point of view, I feel uncomfortable with this sort of idea - that a game monitors and personalises the experience with psychological tricks in order for the child (child!) to progress as the game's developers would like. No doubt the developers have best intentions, but time outdoors, in nature, undertaking more wild experiences, allowing for boredom even - without monitoring or personalisation - are surely better options!

Basically, this line of investigation as a "solution" to depression and anxiety - ie more immersion and greater monitoring by technology - sounds worse than the disease to me!
>a trite "I forgive you"

A trite "I forgive you" isnt forgiveness. Forgiveness is a virtue, which means not everybody has it, or can do it. Forgiveness is not "forgiving" someone that didn't actually wrong you. Forgiveness is not pretending to let go but holding on. Forgiveness is not telling the other person they are forgiven, so the weight is off their shoulders.
Forgiveness IS "dealing with the PTSD", letting go, and if the issue is caused by someone else, feeling pity on or happiness for them.

>Worse, it implies a social pressure to "just deal with it"

Letting go, and bottling up are two opposites. The latter is not forgiveness.

Wikipedia:

>Forgiveness is the intentional and voluntary process by which a victim undergoes a change in feelings and attitude regarding an offense, and overcomes negative emotions such as resentment and vengeance.

>But cliches about forgiveness

Misunderstandings of cliches make it seem as if the act is something anybody can do at any time, and not a skill people learn or build through practice. Forgiveness is both the knowledge that "letting this bother me will cause me more hurt in the long run, I need to find a way to overcome it, to prevent myself from causing me more damage" and the ability to execute on that knowledge.
Revenue is the best indicator for value, not profit which is artificially driven down for tax purposes.
