“if a lot of other people make the same prediction, the stock price will already reflect it, and there's no room to make money“

This is wrong. You make money when you invest in public stocks as compensation for the risk you take. You don’t need to be better than others at predicting to make money. You do if you want to make excess money, money above the level that compensates for risk.
I get the sense that hyperscalers don’t give Intel a ton of margin in negotiations, so they already have access to great server chips at competitive prices. And they’re bringing in AMD now to compete. Where M1 really shines is client-side applications like video handling, ML inference, and crazy branchy nearly single-threaded code. Servers can afford to run much lower clock speeds (see GCP n1 family, for example) because web serving is an embarrassingly parallel problem. Sure, some ARM might help lower costs of internal things like S3, but Graviton2 isn’t that incredible compared to the M1-vs-Coffee Lake comparisons going on in the laptop world.
UIs are not UX. Also most programs have terrible UX (and bad UIs). UIs might not be hard, but there are not many people having the correct blend of skill, personality and motivation out there.

Sorry, could you clarify what precisely is a "well studied phenomenon" and maybe link some of the studies? With this sort of research you have to be extremely careful about what claims you assert it supports because there are often serious methodological issues. I also notice in your post that you use the phrase "virtue signal", which suggests a certain political view on your part, so I want to make sure I'm responding to exactly what you claim so we don't get confused by terminology or matters of degree.

From my experience, not really. Cost reduction has always been a reactive thing from every company I’ve worked at. The speed you can get to MVP/prod was always the first concern.
Exactly, it's like the common "wow you spent 250 hours on that game, that would be 250 * hourly salary you could've made!".

Yes, but actually no. Forcing yourself to be productive usually has diminishing returns after a while.
OK, how is that different from Apple? They replaced all the protocols for keyboard/trackpad communication with their own at some point and it took forever for people to reverse engineer it. Same with the SSD and other components. M1 was shrouded in secrecy and apple tried to ditch all GPL software so that they wouldn't have to upstream anything if they don't want to.

Let's at least compare apples to apples. Pun intended.
In our home in a Southern Indian state, we have multiple locks, glass shards on the compound walls, a regular police patrol every 2 hours in the night and a watchman for the entire community. We're currently in the process of getting a new security camera system and some of our neighbours have gone as far as to get fingerprint enabled locks. But all that doesn't stop us from falling victim to petty theft, largely by hired help. A former maid was caught stealing cutlery (not even silverware), another one caught stealing a bunch of forex, and yet another stealing a bunch of cosmetics. Calling a repair person means watching over him while he works so as to ensure that he doesn't pilfer parts away - imagine having a few screws stolen here and there from your cupboard, or your bolt lock being stolen. It's funny in a way I guess.

Some folks, like one of my wealthier uncles, even hires Gurkhas with khukris and guns to guard their house. But his house is right on the highway, so some caution might be adequate.

> tan(π/8) would be halfway between 0 and 1 ie .5?

tan(π/8) = √2 - 1, not 1/2, but the value is indeed halfway between 0 and 1 if you take the distance function to be

d(a, b) = |b - a| / (√(1 + a²)√(1 + b²)) or

d(a, b) = |b - a| / |1 + ab|

(These are chordal distance or stereographic distance, respectively, when the real number line is used to represent points on a circle under stereographic projection.)

The halfway point is 0.5 when you use the distance function d(a, b) = |b - a|.

Not sure about current Intel MBPs but I have been forced onto ThinkPads for last 2.5 years, currently on an X1 yoga. IMO this whole experience, coupled with Windows 10, is really crappy. TouchPad driver has issues with sleep mode, with no manufacturer fix on the horizon since multiple years. So my organization's solution was to disable lower power states. Now even in standby it drains battery in 6 hours or so. Screen is still 1080p, and even if it was higher res, windows still has scaling issues in places. Settings are all over the place - since some update, the only place to make sense of your language /keyboard list is Powershell. People give Apple shit for their QA but I think most of them have not used Wintel in the last 10 years.

> You cannot accelerate masses to the speed of light, because if General Relativity holds, you'd require infinite energy to do so.

This is a common misconception. There is exactly 1 mass you can accelerate to any speed you want. YOU. Time dilation canceling out acceleration from the external perspective is why it looks like externally that it takes infinite energy to reach C. Light travels at C and thus experiences zero travel time. Things going slower than C will experience "some" travel time. Not 1 year per lightyear.

On the ship it is locally Newtonian the entire way. Sure your destination and origin are doing weird gymnastics out the view screen, and the radiation is getting a bit energetic, but if you have the fuel and willingness to take Gs, you can travel any distance in any subjective amount of time. There exists a fuel budget (a lot) (at overwhelming Gs) to reach another star in 5 minutes.

> In addition, every bit of radiation arriving from the direction of travel will be turned into high energy gamma radiation and cook you something fierce real quick; not to mention dust or tiny rocks that would release the energy equivalent of a thermonuclear explosion upon impact.

This is a very real problem I offer no solution to other than adding shielding budget to the tyranny of the rocket equation. "warp drives" might offer a solution to this problem but all flavors of reactionless drives are currently SciFi. "If you have enough fuel" here likely means "a couple Jupiters worth of hydrogen that you fuse at perfect e=mc^2 efficiency"
So much this. I love pursuing certifications but it’s not like I have some grandeur belief that it makes you better than anyone. I find them to be a useful tool for learning something new.
You cannot choose science when it suits you but faith when it does not. Atheists are the only people qualified to discuss the American left's receptivity to science, because the American right's dual belief system (faith plus science) disqualifies them, as they have said out loud that they believe in the supernatural. Therefore if you are a part of the right lamenting the lefts refusal to consider the study, you are disqualified, respectfully, as you are from all critique of all receptivity to all studies because you overtly believe in the supernatural. If you are a conservative atheist, I am all ears. I am absolutely receptive to the study being true, but that begs the question, how can both the study be true and the world scientific leaders have a consensus that there is not only net new death, but significant net new death due to covid? What would explain the discrepancy? A well run conspiracy? I ask not in mockery but I genuinely want to know what explains the difference?

This isn't a big deal. The European parliament can only suggest laws to the comission, it has no real power to enact them. Unfortunately the US media doesn't report this part of it and often sees these votes as legally binding (another example was the recentish vote on USB-C charging).

I think the best was to explain the EU parliament to US readers is that the parliament only has veto control, much like the US president (if anything, less, since the president can issue executive orders, which the EP can't). It's basically inverted.
Trade sugar for good cream. Skip the fake dairy crap like soy/oat/etc. Find a creamy half and half or even heavy cream cut with half and half. A little goes a long way. I put two tablespoons in a 30oz travel cup.

I live in the northeast and find the Aldi brand heavy cream is fabulous and cheap. It is processed at ultra dairy in Syracuse, NY, shop around for a brand you like, but use the plant codes on the box to figure out who makes it — each dairy is different.
I think this is implied because he's talking about people that trade stocks for a living. Leaving money in a an index that tracks the overall market doesn't really count as a full-time trader job.

If you're using a sweetener to cut the bitterness (rather than to add sweetness), then you may enjoy cold-brewed coffee. Cold water is far less effective than hot water at extracting tannins from coffee grounds, which are the primary source of the bitterness in coffee. So cold-brewed coffee tends to be naturally less bitter, as a result.

Bonus points in that it's less acidic, as well. And in case anyone else is as oblivious as I originally was, "cold-brewed" doesn't actually have to equate to cold coffee. You end up with a coffee concentrate, which you dilute with water to preference (taste, caffeine content, etc). You can dilute a cup with boiling water to get a hot cup of (non-bitter) coffee just as easily as you can dilute it with ice water for a cold, ice coffee.
> A double chainring setup likely offers smaller gaps between gears but likely a comparable overall range from lowest to highest.

This isn't true. This bike is using a 40 gear crank in the front with an 11-40 cassette in the back. That puts the gear ratio at 1.0 on the low end and 3.64 on the high end. The corresponding Shimano GRX setup with a double chainring would be a 46-30 in the front and a 11-34 in the back. This gives a 0.88 ratio on the low end and 4.18 on the high end, which is actually quite a big difference. One could argue that the difference in gear ratio on the low end isn't a big deal because this bike has pedal assist, but the difference on the high end is quite noticeable.
You're right, I forgot about the cost of locking pages for every overlapped I/O.

This proposal is completely unrealistic and dangerous for startups who want to manufacture hardware devices. If this gets through it will make europe unattractive for hardware companies. It advocates for the accessability of replacement parts, and that devices have to be designed with commonly available and easy to replace parts even though none of that is the responsibility of the device designer / manufacturer, but rather the responsability of parts manufacturers. So this makes it impossible to design devices with cutting edge electronics, which are only made by one company, for example (e.g. an ARM SoC or a display module). There is also the requirement to share details about your hardware design with repair 3rd parties which means you could be forced to reveal your IP. Europe already over-burdens hardware companies with ROHS/WEEE and with organizations who have the exclusive right (by being appointed by the government) to ask for recycling fees (which you need to become a member of, which costs $$$), and with very strict and expensive to fullfill EMC compliance requirements.
In the Breaking Bad episode "Salud" several people drink poisoned liquor, including the poisoner. The poisoner survives because he induces vomiting soon after drinking and has medical resources prepared to treat him afterward. That wasn't what I expected.

I actually expected the poisoner to have taken prophylactic naloxone and served liquor poisoned with a potent, short-half-life opioid like sufentanil. It could kill his enemies directly via respiratory depression or just render them unconscious so he could drag them all into the swimming pool to drown. This would be the modern version of the old murder mystery trick "poisoner gradually builds up his tolerance to arsenic from small doses, then consumes arsenic-poisoned food/drink along with the victim." It would have the advantage of not being as hazardous or laborious as building up a tolerance for arsenic. It would also have been a clever chemistry based approach to murder in a series that often showed off some bit of chemistry.

I don't know if this naloxone/opioid poisoning trick has been used in other shows or published works. A quick search for "murder" "mystery" "naloxone" didn't turn up anything likely.

Maybe the problem of the author is that grouping all these different types of works into a single bucket is a bad idea? If you only have books, you can easily grep around them (not really a need to index them), and so on.
How good are the certificates though in assessing actual skill vs test taking ability?

As very anecdotally, I know one person with an Amazon cert and they are also someone who wants me to tell them which line numbers of their code to edit for assignments. And they got it by cramming for the exam like any other test. So my thoughts on Developer Associate are not very high.

Other developers have told me that one of the easiest ways to get a cert is to just pay someone in India to take the test for you in case you need it for a contract (for those developers in the consulting world).

Both being able to cram for it and it being required as part of crappy contracts but not genuinely mattering if the people doing the work did it seem like very negative signals about its value.
There is a huge missing point which overweights everything else; it's really expensive (in time or maybe in money) to develop your own software even if you are a good developer.
Sorry, just noticed your question. Dr. Georgia Eades is a psychiatrist specializing in nutrition and brain health. Here is an article where she summarizes various research on insulin resistance and neurodegenerative diseases[0].

Dr. Eades seems to enjoy poking holes in current nutrition recommendations, but she is able to back her statements up with lots of facts. For example, I first learned of her work when someone here on Hacker News linked to this video[1] about the dangers of eating plants. Say what? It was eye opening to realize, for example, that the difference between fruits and vegetables is that plants want us to eat fruit, and very much do not want us to eat the vegetables. Plants go so far as to evolve defenses that our bodies have to mitigate when we eat a lot of plants.

That was considered, but the problem is what does the user think when he sees `a < b < c` ?

1. is it intended to be the C way?

2. is it the Python way?

3. did the user assume it was (1) or did he assume it was (2) and guess wrong?

This means that such expressions are a never-ending red flag for a code review. Hence it is made an error. The user can still get the C behavior by using parentheses.

Note that if D was a Python-derived language, then selecting (2) semantics would be a no-brainer. But as a C-derived language, it has to be an error.
I have a theory that it isn't actually the water causing the ache, but rather the air that you drink while drinking the water. I've tried it and it works. See for youself: you have to drink a little bit differently (turn the water bottle upside down and be careful when drinking not to get air in. if you do, turn your head up and make sure you are only swallowing water.)

Mechanical Universe is so awesome! It's one of the best series to watch to get an broad understanding of the history of science and science itself. I've watched and rewatched them since college in the 90s. All of the videos are on YouTube and they're still incredible.

Though Connections is entertaining, an afternoon down the Wikipedia rabbit hole on any topic will give you sooo much more information and context than Burke could have dreamed of in 1978. My issue with many of those YouTube channels you're talking about is they do little but read for the viewer (NOT 3Blue1Brown, his work is the gold standard of course).

This isn't a horrible thing, but it would be nice if those channels put a bit more work into synthesizing their content, rather than just regurgitating Wikipedia for views.

The OP was criticizing all vendors for dropping the ball on "gigantic memory bandwidth, 8-way decode, re-order buffers twice as deep, specialized instructions for x86 translation and reference counting". A64FX has all that (incl. assistant cores in addition to the regular ones and on-chip RAM with HBM interface) AND SVE, not just bare SVE as your comment seems to imply. And of course a big redesign would be necessary, I never implied it's ready to be put in the next MS Surface. But screaming that all processor vendors are 100 years behind Apple is a bit questionable.

So my thoughts were: cool, Apple is bringing some of the processor developments to mass market that I didn't think would hit the market for another 5 years. I am just a bit sad to see everyone (esp on HN) saying it was never seen before.
I don’t think it’s implied because it’s not even true for professional public market investors. They can make money by giving customers ways to take risk, not necessarily through superior predictions.
Yes, me too. But I have always been discouraged by seniors.

My employer sponsored my oracle java 8 cert. At the time, I knew zero java, and I was able to convince my boss' boss that it would be a good idea after my boss denied and said it was useless (bc he did not have it and did not want to validate it).

I'm working on some of these "future of WordPress" projects right now, and I don't think PHP is going away any time soon. The JS-future for WordPress is more to do with the editing experience than anything else -- the entire rendering pipeline, backend, and rest API is still PHP, and I'm not aware of any plans to change that.

The main difference with the future of WordPress is that instead of templates (which describe the structure of a site) being written in PHP, they will be written as blocks so that they are user-editable. I would say it's more apt to say that "blocks" are the future of WordPress. The block editing experience is written in JS, but serialized block markup is backwards compatible with HTML, so no JS is needed to render blocks once they are serialized.
