It might be a valid way around "sticky wages."

If one looks at the whole economy, some prices might be very flexible and others rigid. This will lead to the aggregate price level (which we can think of as an average of the individual prices) becoming "sluggish" or "sticky" in the sense that it does not respond to macroeconomic shocks as much as it would if all prices were flexible. The same idea can apply to nominal wages.

If Amazon were to open a subsidiary for lower priced delivery services it might be able to maintain its workforce branding and add lower rungs to the wage ladder for the purpose of labor supply development. It might be politically inconvenient for a wealthy company like Amazon to have an acknowledged wage tiering system even if it makes sense on different levels. For example, Amazon probably cannot publicly hire people without workforce documentation--an unacknowledged arms-length subsidiary would be able to provide this service.

Malcom Gladwell's ideas fall in the similar radar. I don't think there is one particular influence on Taleb. In his Black Swan book, there are probably thousand references to quite diverse set of things ranging from greek philosophy to modern investment theories.

(I tried to look up references in Black Swan, couldn't find any)
Thank you for your optimism. The goal is to fund and conduct basic research.

It is not possible for me to overstate how very much this is not true at the college where I work, and at all colleges with which I have a personal connection.

By insisting that MBS is some sort of specially evil person, I feel that you are devaluing the importance of genuine ethical consideration. I do not disagree with your specific points about his misbehaviour, but I want to emphasize that it is the throne and crown which empower him to do so much harm, and not any sort of blackened and hateful heart.
Yeah there is no way they sell a card that does 200% the fps of a 2080ti in "normal" (non raytracing, ultra quality) averaged over multiple titles. If a 2080ti does 100fps without raytracing and 30fps with, this might do 110fps without raytracing and 60fps with, for they'll a "100%" increase but most would consider that 10%.
It doesn't have to be strictly to POSIX to not use anything Apple-specific, e.g. you can get a GUI using Qt or Gtk, or Java. For that matter, there are X.org implementations for macOS.

GFN has been a bear, very hit or miss. Current generation of hardware is either 1080 or 2060. If they start adding 30xx (which they have hinted at in this past) that would be great.
Calling changes to tax code “evil” is hyperbolic and unhelpful.
I've been in the private beta for a couple weeks, and the service is looking great. My issue was that `containterd` couldn't pull from GitHub Packages' due to some OCI vs. Docker differences. The new incarnation fixes this :)
I'd blame it more on giving colleges a blank check without tying payback to income outcomes - using an ISA (income share agreement) type of structure would better align costs with real returns.
I wouldn't put any amount of trust in their claimed independence from the CCP. After all, that's exactly what a CCP vehicle for foreign intelligence ops would say.

Yeah, it's definitely not clear to me why I might sign up for this even if I always bought from Walmart. Seems to more of a donation to Walmart at this point.
I've used mint.com for over 12 years so I have purchase history going back that far from both WM and Amazon. I consider myself a relatively heavy user of Amazon for small ticket items with a few big ones mixed in (with 65 orders YTD) and I'm in Smalltown America so no Whole Foods grocery delivery.

It's actually an interesting exercise to look at long term spending at stores. In the past 12 years I've spent $37k @ Amazon compared to nearly $50k at WM. Big numbers, but averaged out that's not all that much. Most of my grocery spend in recent years has been at WM due to it being the closest grocery store and is within walking distance of my house.

We need a blind test where you evaluate a set of images on whether you think each one is real or rendered.
Prop 13 has lots of consequences, but the issue with housing supply in California is mostly due to zoning.

We could build way more by relaxing zoning code, we do not need to repeal the almighty prop 13. It is like the argument I read yesterday in SF Chronicle, saying that to end death by overdose in the City, we need to first end poverty and racism... Sure, it would help, but we still can do better without fighting the near impossible issue first, we can build more even with prop 13.

If some people want to stay in their old (cheap property tax) unit, fine. It should not prevent newcomers to move in newly built homes.

"Need to move for a job? Want a smaller house after the kids have moved out? That comes with a tax penalty."... not a tax penalty, it is a reset, just like it should be if there would be no prop 13.

BTW, if your kids moved out, prop 13 allows you to move if you reached 55yo without any tax impact. So, you could get a smaller house.

If you need to move for a job, unless you had your current property for a long time (e.g. >5years), the property tax should be similar... unless maybe you are moving from the country side, to a coastal place, but those are different markets at the first place.

Not saying that prop 13 is good, but it is going to be very difficult to repeal (especially with the amendments they added over the years, it anchored it in the culture/business of the state) and in the meantime we need to build way more in California now! We need to review the zoning now and allow way more new constructions of everything (affordable, luxury, anything is good at this point...). It is the only way to lower the cost across California. Build way more than what has been done so far.
Because it’s easy?
Seems like a similar goal, but the difference is that Bottlerocket is targeted at containers and Amazon Linux is targeted at EC2.

If your claim is that it's impossible to contribute to a package written in TS without writing TS, even if the authors publish a JS version to NPM, I completely agree. I also agree that this creates a divide between authors who write TS/publish JS, and those who write JS directly.
For those unfamiliar with the terminology, add two zeros to the end of the flight level to get the altitude in feet.
Agreed. It was decidedly a big problem in the past.
Monitors are generally connected through DisplayPort or Thunderbolt, not HDMI, so there's no reason for HDCP to enter here. The card in question does have a HDCP output, but advanced features are only available through DisplayPort.
My go to stack is some combination of: TypeScript, React, Emotion (for styling), material-ui (component library), Next, Express (REST), chart.js, konva.js

But that's mostly because I have been using these tools over-and-over. So don't worry about it and build something first.
ripgrep (the binary name is rg) is a faster grep written in Rust.
True, but:

If you use decimal with metric, the units and prefixes play along with you very well (huge advantage). If you use other fractions with metric, you get no special bonus or burden (neutral).

If you use decimal with US customary ("imperial"), you get no special bonus or burden (netural). If you use other fractions with US customary, you get no special bonus or burden (neutral).

In summary, there is absolutely no rational reason to stick with US customary, besides legacy compatibility (technical debt).

'gallerdude didn't mention anything about fabs. Also, these GPUs are fabricated at Samsung, so your comments about TSMC are mostly irrelevant.

If the fab was all that mattered, AMD GPUs would be dominating Nvidia, since they have been shipping GPUs using TSMC 7nm (a superior process to Samsung 8nm) for over a year.
"they might require strictly more discipline"

If it's /hard/ to use the language you have chosen for your book. Which is also the most prominent language in the space to write useful stuff then you need to address that right there on the landing page. Yeah? Is that not reasonable?

The Haskell list is very short. Why? Why is this a solution to that problem? Why is it not just yet another burito-like analogy for monads?

Frozen-bubble was great, slick and fun at least 15 years ago and is written in functional perl.

He's clearly trying to solve the Haskell problem of "We can't write apps" here. He says so.
This program should make sure to change brightness enough to reduce the lifespan to less than 2 years. Then the user will have free lifetime updates of monitors! (I reckon this would fall perfectly within normal use of a monitor. Hence, an RMA case will kick in)
Again: I'm talking about news. You keep bringing up a thing that isn't news. What are the terms for news sites?

> There's nothing "objectively bad" about forcing a bad actor to finally pay up for it's conduct.

Correct. That's why I said, essentially, "if you want them to pay up, tax them". I'm not saying any law that forces tech companies to pay money must be objectively bad. I am saying that this law is. You understand the difference.

> Realistically, the long term answer is to break these companies up, but in the interim, we need to use regulation to force them to pay up in areas where they would have to if they weren't monopolies.

And to do this, you support a bit of regulatory capture that instead directs the funds to a media monopoly. Like I said, it's an objectively bad law.

> One common monopoly practice is called predatory pricing: Where you price so low, you are losing money, temporarily, in order to kill competing businesses

You're actually arguing that the price, free, which Google and Facebook charge is too high, and that they need to further decrease it (by subsidizing the content they aggregate). Is the price too high, or is it predatorily low? You can't argue both sides. If you were really concerned with predatory pricing, you'd be against this law, because it (if applied generally) prevents competitors to Google or Facebook from gaining marketshare, since they can't afford to pay media companies. So as long as the entrenched actors pay the tax, upstarts can't start.

I wonder about the ML performance compared to my current setup of 2080TIs.
The 3070 has 20 classic shading module TFLOPs. The 2080ti was 13.5 TFLOPs. I think you’ll see 50% better performance at the minimum.

The vast majority of people on HN are people who need to work to eat and keep a roof over their heads, and the companies they work for take power away from them, and will force them to do things to the detriment of themselves if it's deemed in the best interests of the company.

A union is a company that represents the interests of workers in the same way that a company is an entity that represents the interests of capitalists.

Besides, many people on HN work for tech companies like Adobe, Apple, Google, Intel, Intuit, Pixar, Lucasfilm or eBay, all of which were found guilty of colluding[1] to keep engineer salary below market value.

Agreed to a certain extent. I use local grocery delivery (CSA) for both meat and my produce which I recommend to everyone if its available. But for all else like household goods like toothpaste, it's pretty hard to find something as convenient and competitive as mega corps. I recently tried to buy a pair of headphones. It's pretty hard to find a reputable seller that's an authorized reseller and price competitive.

This made Sweden's outcome sound a lot better than it actually is.

Here are numbers: Sweden still had an economic contraction of ~ -8.3% (Germany ~ -11.7%) while having 5.5 times (i.e. 550%!) the deaths per million inhabitants (Germany: ~ 110/1M, Sweden: ~ 575/1M).

You can compare them to e.g. the UK or Spain though and justifiably claim that they had a far better economic outcome per casualty than them if you like.

Or compare them to e.g. Denmark or Lithuania and see that Sweden got 10 times the casualty rate and a worse economic contraction.

Yup, the trilemma was my point, there is no perfect answer but definitely what we have now can be totally reworked with this in mind. I do think there are alternative systems that can at least make "degree" a lot more cheap and efficient to acquire without the universality component.

Making it riskier to lend to students again is a pretty regressive policy. It will definitely decrease the average student debt burden, but only because you'll be denying people the opportunity to incur the debt (and go to college) to begin with.

So you have a single example of an (accidental) killing by unions. Now look up how many people have been killed by corporations for striking.
This.

When people are saying something is photo-realistic, they aren’t comparing to reality, they’re comparing to photos or videos as viewed on the same display.

By some metrics, even extremely expensive modern hardware is very far from reality. Pretty much all games show Sun occasionally, to reproduce same luminosity at 1m distance you need kilowatts of light (assuming 180 degree viewing angle; the surface of 1m half sphere is about 2 m^2 and the flux of visible spectrum is about 550w/m^2), these levels are simply unsafe for home use. For example, such display is going to ignite or at least melt a keyboard if it’s too close.

Similar for dynamic range. Reality has extreme dynamic ranges, i.e. both very light and very dark areas on the same scene.

At least modern hardware generally delivers realistic resolutions, and color accuracy.
Last paragraph copy/paste:

"In May 2017, President Donald Trump made his first overseas visit, a trip to Riyadh. Not long after his arrival, the president toured King Salman’s new anti-terrorism center, which focused on tracking extremists on Twitter. Afterward, the president, his wife, the king, and Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi of Egypt gathered around an illuminated orb at the center of the room and posed for a photo. Standing just outside the frame was the kingdom’s new social media specialist, Ali Alzabarah."
As I was reading the article I found myself getting more and more frustrated with the author and developers of EV charging infrastructure; the author, for having not researched these things ahead of time, which seems reasonable when buying such an unusually fueled vehicle, and developers for having such crazy disparate standards and plugs and cabling and generally crap user friendliness.

I typically draw this comparison between Tesla and Apple: Tesla wanted people to enjoy using EVs, and they saw a few problems for that:

1. charging sucks, and range anxiety makes people nervous

2. most people's perception of electrically-propelled vehicles is of Prius(es? i?): slow and unimpressive.

They solved (1) with the supercharging network, which is insanely easy to use (drive up, plug in, credit card is automatically charged), and integrating the network as well as all Tesla "destination" chargers (level 2s installed at businesses, hotels, etc) such that the car knows where all of them are. The built-in navigation on my model 3 can tell me exactly when and where I'll have to stop for charging along my trip, and for how long, with real-time availability info.

I don't understand how other EV manufacturers haven't tried to co-ordinate a similar open network between them: it would solve so many usability problems. Go lob some $$$ at Chargepoint and use the 3g connection the cars are already using to send telemetry back to check availability for chargers nearby.

Give users incentives to use whatever network works with the manufacturer; buy a Kona? get 15% off your first 5 charges with ChargePoint. Honda Insight? Congrats on your 500 free miles with $OtherProvider!

Tesla absolutely has shortcomings, but they well and truly solved this UX issue. They should at least be given credit by being emulated.

The downside of course is it's easy for them to deploy those solutions in the relatively-homogenously-regulated region of the US, but significantly more difficult in regions like Europe.
