You are right, it's what I meant.

I don't believe the world is "overpopulated", but I also don't believe that falling below the replacement rate is a negative thing. We were fewer before and we can be fewer again.

Yeah. Best approach I can think of would be something like:

Cool, looks like you've getting the hang of creating Pull

The actual change here though isn't useful to us. :(

Would you be ok spending some time improving [XYZ] instead? :)

Unfortunately, Huberman was frequently cut off and redirected, so he didn't get a chance to fully expound on his ideas. I wish Joe would have just given him the floor in that interview.

He seems oblivious to the fact that his interviews with scientists and other highly intelligent personalities are listened to in their entirety mostly by people who are very curious about the subject matter. His usual stoner meathead schtick - interjecting with nonsense about monkeys, aliens, telepathic communication, etc - really needs to take a backseat.

October Suprise
Miniflux with the paid hosting plan[1].

Things I love about it (from [2]):

> Miniflux is a minimalist software. The purpose of this application is to read feeds. Nothing else.

> The Miniflux layout is optimized to scan entries quickly.

> The design of Miniflux is inspired by Hacker News, Lobsters and Pinboard.

> Miniflux uses Javascript only where it’s necessary.

And the content extraction for truncated feeds, customizable with CSS selectors, is an absolute killer feature that I use heavily.

I'm very happy to pay an annual subscription fee and I haven't looked back once since I started using it. I'm eagerly waiting for NetNewsWire to add support for the Fever API[3] so that I can use it with Miniflux. But the web UI on mobile is good enough to be honest.

UI specific state (eg a flag to store whether the left panel is folded) should be as local as possible

MobX is not a replacement for local state. It's a useful mechanism for sharing state between parts of an app that need to share state - in the example of a left panel, if you want to be able to control that from outside of the component then you either need to be able to modify the state (eg MobX), or you need a callback that refers to the local panel state that's callable from outside (eg a Redux action), or you need a method that's passed around the app to where it's needed (eg a React context). If you don't need to control it from outside then you don't need any of these things and useState is fine.

Where MobX is especially useful is in things that aren't simply an observable value that need to be passed around - if you need to transform the value for other components to use it then MobX's @computed and @action are both _incredibly_ helpful.
I think the problem boils down to the difference between a "pattern-matching" AI filling in details by "inventing" them, or a human restorator doing essentially the same.

A human restorator most likely has more background knowledge from other sources, while the AI might fill in completely unrelated details it's seen in completely unrelated training material.

As long as there's a disclaimer about the type of restoration that's been used, both approaches are fine IMHO. The audience needs to understand that both are just "projections". Similar to how we thought for a long time that ancient greece was "marble white", when in reality it was full of colors.
I am currently reading "Data Science from Scratch" and feel this relates here. The book is nicely showing the principles of machine learning by showing how all the blocks are build. (We can program along as we read.)

Also: My kid is too young for this, but I wonder if building a circuit physically beats programming and running it on screen. After all we can't really see the electrons flow so whats the point of building such a clunky model if we can make it in code?

Just wondering if there's a real education advantage of doing it like this.

translates to:
"Your sinful soul is beyond salvation and you do not know peace or pain, only the cold of repentance is over, because your sins are greater than any mission, the end is near, the ships of sin"

Apparently not a get-well card.

I'm not convinced. If there's no direct profit, I can't imagine talented people are going to waste that much time on it.

Reputation is also not that great of a proxy, since you can game it. E.g. by using strategies that push all the risk into the tails. If it's money, you have a much stronger incentive to cover your ass against rare but disastrous blowups, since your entire livelihood is at stake (rather than just your ability to play the local game). If you're just trying to look good on Facebook... The risk/reward is different.

The code is open to read, free to use in a personal setting and company setting, you just can't commercialise it. Thats what Commons means, gatekeeping is the reason why, there is a prevalent confusion about GPL and open-source.
Oh, I just realized that I've probably expressed myself kinda poorly because now it sounds as if that gap was a result of "location adjustments"

I meant that "location adjustment" just increases the gap to the already existing gap made of "attractive place(big city) - bigger companies - bigger salaries" factor.

I have no idea how that insinuation came upon that opensource is somehow "abandoning GPL."

GPL was, is, and will likely be the de-facto one, and only license people call an opensource license for as long as we talk about serious projects outside of webdev realm.

The statistics is skewed as of recently because of the overabundance of GitHub one day projects.
In this particular example, I think the error is as specific as it gets, though.
When Sachin Wasn’t a Cricketer
As someone who has lived on the east coast, west coast, Sweden, and Germany...I've gotta say I disagree. The best overall quality of life I've experienced has been in Nevada. My money goes farther, the people are less of an obstacle (NIMBY, zoning, traffic, homeless issues, etc), politics is basically a non-factor, and the commute times are measured in minutes instead of hours.
Sure, but you generally don't buy a new iPhone or Honda Civic every month, while your mortgage/rent is due every month again.

Furthermore, it is not only housing cost that is lower outside major cities. Your hairdresser also has higher rent in a major city, as do her suppliers. There's more traffic so goods take longer to deliver. This is besides the fact that other states/places can and often do have lower taxes on goods than major cities. So your iPhone might actually be cheaper as well.

Everything is more expensive in a major city because everyone has more expenses and passes those on.

> I'm not convinced. If there's no direct profit, I can't imagine talented people are going to waste that much time on it.

Wikipedia, reddit, HN, and stackoverflow would beg to differ. Reputation drives people to expend incredible amounts of effort. In 2002 I would have had the same intuition you do. But i've seen reputation systems and social credit build too many incredible things to feel that way anymore.

> Reputation is also not that great of a proxy, it encourages strategies which push the risks into the tails. If it's money, you have a much stronger incentive to reduce your own tail risk since your entire livelihood is at stake, rather than just your ability to play the local game.

I do think there's a reasonable argument that the risk curves will be different, but I don't really see how that cashes out in an inaccurate overall system. It seems to me that as long as reputation gets allocated to those who are consistently correct, the system should work pretty well.

I wouldn't read too much into large scale exercises nine days ago. These things do happen routinely. Further, it's a very common practice among US government departments to burn off their remaining budgets at the end of the federal fiscal year on September 30th. Large scale exercises are a good way for the DOD to get rid of money it doesn't want.

It's not cause for concern unless unusually high levels of activity continue into October--and even in that case the general purpose will be deterrence rather than fear over any real threat.

> Is venture capital or private equity really uncorrelated to the general stock market?

Somewhat, yes. It's not that it's completely uncorrelated, but it is less correlated than other public companies tend to be.

> It is also difficult to evaluate the volatility of an asset if the price is evaluated infrequently.

Yep, you're absolutely right. This is sometimes called the 'liquidity premium'. People tend to pay less for illiquid assets than liquid assets, all else equal. Which means that investing in illiquid assets should, all else equal, produce better risk-adjusted returns on average over time, especially if you are selling them after they become liquid.
In Flancia there are no walled gardens
Its clear Apple wants to force people to native apps where they can extort, err charge, 30% (of the revenue, much larger share of the profit).

So these features almost certainly won't be delivered, in a working state, until they are irrelevant to making useful apps which could move money out of the ios appstore.
No, not "everything else". Restaurants/coffee shops/clubbing may be cheaper too, children daycare too, even some groceries. And taxes, as already pointed out.

Just an example calculation: If you can save $1000/month on rent and another say $150/month on other living expenses. that's $13800 annually. That's about $138000 annually net salary right now ($124200 after the cut) to break even, or about $180K-$210K pre taxes and pre cut, living in San Fran. Now, if you move to an area with lower taxes that break even point will only go up.
> What else should I consider to learn for such a big project in order to make it less headache later on?

Just build it, that’s the only way to answer your question.
> So "use a database" doesn't necessarily solve your scaling bottleneck.

Absolutely, it won't :D

I'm just saying that if I do a postgres database on say heroku, I have a clue what it can handle. I get the specs, it has this much RAM, this many CPUs and this much storage.

I also know that I'll be the only user of said server.

With other hosted services like S3, dynamodb, azure tables, etc, the documentation features "scalability targets".

S3 I can see how may reads / s a bucket can handle, and how it scales up. On azure tables I know a table can handle 100k writes / s (or so).

If I send a lot of messages to a single durable object, will it scale to the point where it gets a dedicated node? (what is the approximate definition of node)
Will it migrate automatically? (what temporary degration might I see).

Can I have a 1GB durable object with 1 transaction every 1 hour?
What about a 100 GB durable object with a 1 transaction every day?

Can I have a 1MB durable object with 10 messages per minute?

Or is it measured in compute seconds, clock cycles?

Liek can I have 10kb durable object with 10 messages / s each using 0.5ms CPU time?

Similarly, how does it look when I increase CPU time per message, number of messages or size of the object, where are the limits?

From reading the documentation one might think one could store a 100GB git repository as a durable object. Sure each commit takes time, but I have few commits / hour.

(I assume a 100GB durable object won't work, but I can see any limits or scalability targets in the documentation)

Just to clarify, I don't expect an answer to the question above, I expect documentation to feature some "scalability targets" and "limits". Something that gives me an intuition about what a durable object can handle.
- So I know whether to shard my use-case or not :D

On topic: I think durable objects is really cool, message passing seems like the right model for scalable cloud computing.

> Does adding timestamps not handle this case?

If you have one message source (a single thread or some kind of coordination), and the messages have lower frequency than the timestamp resolution, yes.

The farther you get from that, the more the answer is no.

>I don't really see how that cashes out in an inaccurate overall system

Imagine a strategy that has a 50% chance of blowing you up completely over 10 years, but nets you 50% more profit if it works. The average return of this strategy is 25% less than a safe strategy (zero risk, zero gain), but it has a 50% chance of winning in this marketplace. If it were real money, nobody would go near it.

Ok, now imagine there's 100 people running strategies with that profile and 100 running the safe strategy. All of the top spots will be held by the suicidal strategy. This is an artificial example but you get the point. Real money forces you to avoid that risk profile as soon as you identify it.
