What does 'worse' mean?

If you mean in-your-face, I'm thinking it's an urban density thing.

SF is small and incredibly dense. So, the homeless people that are there are packed into this tiny space along with everyone else and you literally have to step over them on the way to work.

If the population of SD was packed into the geographic area of SF with no available land to the North, East, and West, everyone would be stepping over homeless people on the way to work there too.

Same with LA. People come and jam themselves wherever they can fit. If there's fewer miles of sidewalk, density of homeless people goes up, it's more visible, and you get people living on your front doorstep.

On the list of urban density, SF is number 6 and SD doesn't even make the list.

This reminded me of Tim Urban's article about numbers: [From 1 to 1,000,000](https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/11/from-1-to-1000000.html). In that article he has an image with a million tightly packed dots - that should give you an idea of how big this Minesweeper game is!

You're forgetting that for the Simulator energy and mass are 'free'. Imagine something like Conway's "Game of Life" where creatures emerge and then start speculating about their own origins. Their measurements of energy would mean nothing to us. Entropy perhaps, but not energy.
It also would allow to release product with buggy and incomplete firmware because you can always push an update, right?

> What would be the point?

We do pared-down simulations of things all the time. I think the rest of the comment presumes that the only type of simulation we should conceive of is one that is an exact mapping of some external world, and that external world adheres the same laws that our "simulation" has.

Don't get me wrong - i'm not for or against the simulation argument, I just don't understand the argument that a simulation of "a" universe would consume all the energy of some "other unknown" universe. Nor do I think that the simulation would necessarily have to map 1:1 for us to be in a simulation.
> The end of US hegemony is not some terrifying future, it's the US living like the rest of the world

The issue most of the world (outside the US) worries about is not the end of their hegemony but the power vacuum that they leave behind.

Despite the near plutocratic state of the current US, they at least make an attempt at having core democratic values with checks and balances and a respect for rule of Law.

It is unclear if those who crave to take that soft-power away from the US will share the same ideals.
This is not really "huge", sorry.

From the paper Walking in mud: Remarkable Pleistocene human trackways from White Sands National Park (New Mexico) [1]:

> We describe a long prehistoric human trackway (1.5 km) of Late Pleistocene age at White Sands National Park (New Mexico, USA).

> The trackway indicates two journeys. The outbound tracks are crosscut by giant ground sloth and Columbian Mammoth tracks.

> The precise geochronology of the tracks remains uncertain... The most parsimonious interpretation of this window is that track formation occurred before 10 k BP, however the upper biostratigraphic limit depends on the arrival date for human colonisers in the Americas and more specifically at WHSA [White Sands].

I am not a climate specialist, but I was confused about the same thing: I would fully expect for there to be a bijective mapping between a global grid and a local grid. I mean, lat/lon is a 2d space.

My other comment was going to be that using binary search is not that much computer science. I mean, it's elementary programming knowledge, you don't need a degree to know that.
It should remain the same in your "local" experience.

Have you tried them and not had results? Because there are a lot of N=1s anecdotes about it working for people, hence the large following he has. Wim’s techniques helped me quit medical marijuana, and drastically improved my productivity and general wellbeing, including my sex-life due to stress-induced ED. It is only one flavor of breathwork, but I think you could be doing a disservice to yourself to label it all a pseudoscience, as if only narrowly-defined “science” has merit for human life, which has existed and thrived long before the double-blind RCT...

I don't know whose law says something like, "The amount of optimization left to do is proportional to the improvement you got on the last round".

I.e., 14000x means there's probably another factor of 10 or 100 in there. But 0.1s might be fast enough.

I get 2x on std::sort pretty easily. I am hoping to get a general speedup like that for half the algorithms in the C++ Standard Library into C++23. Maybe the other half a little later.

Caches mean nobody knows how fast anything should be, so lots of things seem fast until you see one faster, then the old one suddenly looks slow.

I think the reason Physics (call it God, or Simulator, or whatever) uses Quantum Mechanical uncertainty (Probability Wave Functions) is because the number PI would take infinite time and storage space to compute. Not even God can compute the number because it is not 'representable' even with infinite memory.

And every calculation involving particle trajectory involves PI. So what "nature" does instead of computing it is to create a function that represents it, and then solves the function later on 'on demand' with whatever accuracy there is, which is definitely finite.
Being state-sponsored is a whole different league, though.

Any tips for the database side?

It is easy to paint something in a wireframe, but the database has to be structured in a certain way for the app to work as well.
Yeah I'd agree that for most startups a monolith makes more sense. It's usually easier to add microservices later if they're needed than to go the other way.

Your point about the Go binary reminds me of a related problem. We so often come up with solutions (like microservices) to performance problems that just add more complexity, when often the performance problems can be solved by reducing complexity. Then as you say it becomes so complex that it's more difficult to fix later problems.
Ask HN: What is the most environmentally friendly car to use?
Consider someone that needs to use a car for some things. They can bike, walk, and use public transport as much as possible, but still use a car. It's trivial to find out what cars have the least emissions, but what type of car would it be if you consider the total lifetime environmental impact, and the second-order affects from the used market that occur because of one's choice? How would a total environmental impact metric be measured (combination of all CO2 emitted, rare metals mined, etc)? How would you find the details involved in the calculating the metric?

The priority is understanding it for average use, not as much the case where the car sits most of the time with little emissions at ~500 miles (800 km) / year.

From perusing HN over the years, my inclination was towards an old, low emissions hybrid like a Prius. I realized this was more of a gut feeling and wanted to understand it better based on hard numbers and what metrics are most environmentally concerning.

Is it a used, high-mileage, low-emissions hybrid? Used BEV? New BEV?
I don't use Apple phones because I cannot afford one. I used to be a developer (in India), earned a decent salary, and at the end of 3 years I had something like 20k USD saved. If I spend 1k on an Iphone, that's 5% of my entire life savings (though I'm pretty young) for a phone. So I end up spending 200$ for an Android phone that runs for maybe 3 years and dies. That being said, the 400$ Iphone SE sounds tempting :)

Even if I go beyond my comfort zone and pay $ I cannot really afford for an arguably better/durable Iphone, the psychological anxiety that comes from "I should be really careful with this phone because I cannot afford a new one/repairs" is something I would not be happy with.

Yahoo and AOL are kept on life support only to give Verizon MAU and DAU metrics. They add to the numbers of “total active users” for the corporation as a whole. Email keeps them around. Interestingly Yahoo had a large engineering army it inherited from the offshoring to India movement of 2000s. Much of that engineering capital was left idle as the services wound down. The amount of redundant Drupal layers built to justify their presence was shocking to hear about. Whole families had moved to Sunnyvale banking on long careers at Yahoo. Many are returning now. I picked all this up anecdotally as a contractor there a few years ago. The Yahoo story will make an interesting book someday.

No, my point is that you don't really have to style macOS. (at least for me and many other people it's nearly perfect)

An economy independent of foreign supplies has been a goal of communist China since its inception. And an active government program for high-end chip production including foundries has been there for a decade.

The problem is: How do you convince a world class chip designer like HiSilicon that it should use a local foundry rather than TSMC? TSMC which is more advanced, more reliable, maybe even cheaper? Without breaking China's commitment to WTO and other agreements that facilitate open trade.

That problem is solved now by the policies of the US.

I remain optimistic that the human race will figure things out before we completely decimate all ocean life and before we make half of the planet inhospitable.

However, I am certain the powers that be will not take any action until MAJOR death waves in the western world such as the destruction of a major picturesque city from a freak weather event. Before that, I expect we will lose:

* Polar bears
* Wild Tuna
* Wild Salmon
* Arctic sea ice
* Greenland ice shelf

The last 2 will cause a substantial sea level rise, and decimate places like Bangladesh causing tens of millions of climate refugees that we will be dealing for the next century.

The western world will just shrug and build seawalls kind of like you see on The Expanse:
