This thinking is why having AGI is so scary. We are nothing compared to the computers that we are in the process of creating in terms of intelligence and self awareness.

> But if it weren't for Prop 13, my home and my business would have been forced out by people moving in and paying too much money for homes next door to me.

Prop 13 does not solve this problem. It merely shields historical homeowners from it, while amplifying it for everyone else. Many people and businesses were forced out by speculation because of prop 13, but you and a small group of people were exempted so you don’t care.
Hahahahahah.
I very much appreciate STPIHKAL helping me get started exploring this stuff. I'll admit that the library itself was a bit intimidating. I ended up not using it and just wrapping the protocol for the particular toys that were of interest to me in about 40 lines of JS in order to implement chrome's experimental `writeValueWithoutResponse`. I'm pleased to report has a dramatic effect on latency. I wish I could contribute back but the code is just over-my-head complicated.
True about times before 2008, I only entered the game that year. I guess my feelings are more based on the fact that I have only seen the Fed have a trigger finger anytime markets go down or stagnate, and so I assume their strategy is to prop them up. I also see the pension mess wreaking having on state and local governments, plus increasing baby boomer population retiring with 401k/IRAs, so there's lots of political will to keep markets going higher.
We'll hopefully have Monroe bot hardware support in an upcoming version of the library.
People literally dying from a virus shouldn't be the only public health priority. There has to be a balanced focus on total public health accounting for all causes of morbidity and mortality.

In all seriousness, many of the devices in this space are woefully insecure - this is just a library to control them using whatever native protocols they expose.

What you are doing is important work, not because of butt plugs, but because it is helping normalize talking about sex, and "niche sex," in the tech community (also YouPorn engineering!). Having engineers in the west be open about sex is far better than having nobody open about it.

Openness about sex really is one way to improve the health of the societal zeitgeist.
> some proprietary software running as root is a bad idea.

LXD does not provide security for that case.

(unprivileged containers do have some sort of security measure related to this by mapping the uid 0 inside the container to one that is not privileged outside the container. Tools that need root but make no privileged system calls can work inside an unprivileged container. Example: an installation script that wants to call a package manager to install shared libraries as dependencies might require root, but only for filesystem changes inside the container, so that works. Tools that require privileged access to the kernel will not work in unprivileged containers. - this is very simplified - containerization is process isolation and fine tuned privileges can reduce attack surface, but it should not be seen as a "one size fits all" solution for this particular case)

> pass X.org, Pulse Audio, Video devices, etc.

or that one

(this is harder to explain. Basically: X is not designed with security in mind: if you give a keylogger access to your X session it can log your keys. pulse audio means you are doing a deep dive, because if you map the isolated uid to the uid the pulseaudio server, containment is broken. It is possible by assuming the container is "on the network" but nontrivial and lets not talk about microphones or selective access. Finally passing through pcie devices that have direct memory access is the containment equivalent of paying for the bus and asking the process to be home for dinner.)
>You’re not taking asset inflation into account.

Yes, I am. All econometrics comparisons are in real (i.e., inflation adjusted) dollars.

Here's [1] one example: median inflation adjusted household income from 1985 ($52K) to today ($68K) has grown a lot. Dig up the same info per quintile, and you see the same trends.

This also ignores that households have fewer not more dual income over this time (check Census data to confirm if you don't belive), and that the average worker has gotten younger (thus are earlier in a career, thus lower income on the career ladder - this can be checked with BLS and Census data), and the actual person in the precise same set of circumstances now as then has shown even more growth than this simple median metric shows.

>workers increasingly can’t afford housing

Also false. Here [1] presents inflation adjusted price per square foot of new housing - remarkably consistent over the period listed 1978-2020. What has changed over this time is the median house has increased in size tremendously.

I've ran these numbers back as far as I can find data, and the trend is the same - flat per square foot price when inflation adjusted.

So I agree some places are expensive, but the vast majority of the US is not, and overall workers are not facing increased housing costs for the same housing. What they do now is want more than their predecessors want, and complain the prices are more.

>Also, as someone that refinanced a house this year, I can assure you the wealthy are receiving much larger payments than the working class got from their stimulus checks.

I also refinanced, and I don't how you conclude this from doing one refi, or even how you can conclude such a claim from a single anecdote. Care to explain?

If you;re going to claim some statement testable with real values, please provide a citation to your data. I don't find any of the stuff you're claiming to match these sources (Fed, Census, BLS, CBO) which are pretty well regarded sources of economic data.

I think I understand the sentiment of the above commenter. I feel it with Lisp too.

There are amazing claims about how Haskell (or Lisp or Erlang or ...) give you these amazing superpowers and allow you to write immensely more correct programs immensely faster. That could be true (and I personally do believe it’s true). But then where are all of these immensely-correct fast-written programs? I don’t buy the pg-inspired secret-weapon lurking-in-the-shadows argument unfortunately.

In C, C++, Java, and Python—even Pascal!—it’s not even funny how many examples there are. It’s nearly limitless. The superpower languages struggle to come up with just a handful of examples.

What I personally observe in the Lisp and Haskell world is that people like to write purportedly useful “reusable” libraries, and nobody likes to write applications. A very select few are successful at these libraries (where success = broad adoption), but most of these libraries are intellectual games and puzzles that benefit almost zero “working programmers”. Lisp has plenty of libraries to do pattern matching (great!) but basically zero for putting up a native GUI.

(As a self-deprecating anecdote, my first instinct writing Haskell many moons ago was to create a library of all of the major abstract algebraic structures found in pure math. You can imagine how many people that library would benefit.)

A lot of this also has to do with not the language, but the tribal nature of programmers and their acceptance of other tools in their chain. The Linux kernel will never accept a patch written in Common Lisp, and a lousy middle manager will never let you write your domain logic in Prolog. Nobody wants to figure out how to integrate GHC into their CI/CD. Most people have little patience to figure out how to write good C code that integrates with Erlang’s FFI.

I’m being a little flippant in my description of the state of affairs, but I think the spirit of it is correct.

I think the commenter is right. If any of these languages will be successful, there have to be many, many successful programs written in said language where the language’s benefits tangibly pay off. Having one or two Hail Mary projects doesn’t really mean anything.
I'm not sure if an opinion of this sort can really be wrong, but here's an attempt at an honest case:

- If you're working with complex domain objects, Haskell has somewhat better (edit: or at least more powerful) tools for forbidding invalid states during runtime and assisting refactors as your data model changes.

- Haskell seems to have better libraries for writing parsers and compilers than Rust, if that's relevant to your project.

- Some folks prefer ML syntax to Algol-like syntax.

- The GC, immutable-by-default data, and reasonable concurrency model are pretty nice features of the GHC runtime.

- The performance difference between Haskell and Rust probably doesn't matter for most projects.

- Haskell might actually compile faster if you avoid crazy type-level programming shenanigans.

- Haskell has a pretty decent REPL.

Obviously, Rust has a different set of trade-offs, and the bigger cost to either is going to be that both are a bit off the beaten path and require some practice and experience to be productive and comfortable in.

> there is very little information in the community on how to do this kind of engineering efficiently

If you aren't a huge studio writing a AAA game or thereabouts in complexity you probably can't write a game engine efficiently.

The number of places that do have that scale and need help on how to be efficient is probably vanishingly small so not a lot of self help pops up.

> (at least I haven't encountered it nearly as much as I have when I transitioned to application development in higher level languages

Pick an engine and use its language whatever that is. Unity gives you C#. Unreal gives you a C++ dialet with some nice features and a blackboard system for scripting that is quite powerful.

> there is very little code sharing in the community and zero standardisation

From my experience there is little code sharing within a studio so expecting there to be code sharing across the entire community is hard.

Assuming you are looking for high performance (AAA) you basically have to write a bespoke engine for your gameplay. And there are a lot of different ways of doing gameplay. Heck whether you have loading zones or continuous loading makes a huge impact on how some fundamental things work (again if you aren't huge there are workarounds that make it easier to generalize in exchange for performance)

> everyone reinvents shit from standard library, coding conventions, what subset of the language is "allowed"

The standard library has some huge performance problems for video games. Mostly around allocation rules. Unsurprisingly algorithms for millions of things can have bad performance side effects on tens of things (and visa versa).

> this means developing good tooling, practices and patterns across large projects is hard

To be fair I think this is generally true. Games just tend to build up their codebases super fast but maintaining any huge code base is a pain in the best cases and it is never the best case.
It is what you say. I object to the absolute certainty of the writing.

The use of language in a piece of journalistic writing colors my perception of it. Saying that the only reason the world knows anything comes off as grandstanding.

That said... I think the author is fighting a good fight. Maybe this kind of reporting eventually helps the cause. I just don't like all the emotional strings being pulled.

Ask HN: Bayesian Updating and Propaganda
Let's' suppose that you think in a Bayesian way (which I suspect most of us do, at least to some degree). And let's suppose that you are subject to a competent propaganda campaign, with endless repetition.

You're going to wind up believing the propaganda, aren't you? If you adjust your priors at all on exposure to the propaganda, then eventually, after enough repeated exposure, you're going to wind up with 100% confidence in it.

It seems to me that the only way to avoid this is that you have to detect what's happening and break out of the normal Bayesian updating. You have to decide that something is propaganda and deliberately, consciously not update your priors. Or you could even update them in the opposite direction: "Oh, that's propaganda. Even less likely to be true than it was last time I heard it."

And I suspect that we have learned to do that with advertising (which is just propaganda for commercial purposes), so I think it can be done.

Is this analysis correct (or at least reasonable)?
Well the point of the question is trying to establish if it’s even possible in the first place. If there is no credible way, then there is no need to fear there are nefarious reasons for implementing such a change for either Apple or Microsoft, outside of restricting third parties. If there is, then it’s as you say.
Presumably, (1) he wants the software to run as within-container root and (2) since this is work-related, he has a limited degree of trust that it at least won't actively try malicious activity like trying to break out of the container

The personal references were interesting, the literary references were way too many. This was not a scientific paper in which it is important to present what was done and when and how; here, the author is talking about a very common thought or reflection for any of us (what could have become of me if...?) and what a particular author thought about their un-lived lives at a certain point in time is largely irrelevant.

I was hoping this would be a way to listen to Wikipedia articles like audiobooks. Unfortunately, the iPhone screen reader is not optimized for reading Wikipedia:

- It reads footnote links ("one", "fourteen", etc)

- It reads years like numbers ("One thousand, seven hundred and fifty six" instead of "seventeen fifty six").

- It reads introductory metadata, warnings, etc.

- It reads tables.

- It read image captions.

Ideally it wouldn't do any of these things. Basically, it reads the screen from top to bottom, which isn't what a human would do if you asked somebody to read a Wikipedia article to you. If anyone knows a good way to synthesize Wikipedia to speech, that would be so nice!

EDIT: I wonder if Apple would reject such an app from the App Store because it would compete with ebooks.

I was responding to some plain old bulverism/gaslighting.

It’s toxic, and I’d prefer that we don’t ‘smoothly’ gloss over that.

If you hadn’t led with “I think you have missed the point, the GP’s argument wasn’t...”, it would have gone a lot smoother. The rest of what you said stood entirely without them.

Can you say what value those phrases added other than to just undermine the person you were responding to as a way of establishing your interpretation as ‘correct’?

I see I’ve been flagged for asking if you were gaslighting, but frankly the comment I was replying to fell foul of the site guidelines too.

Perhaps I should have just flagged it, but my sense is that it wasn’t enough to warrant that.

You can interpret the question about ‘gaslighting’ as some great insult, or you can take it as real observation about a toxic conversational gambit that it seems like you unintentionally engaged in.

Your choice.
I've been studying various Lisps as a hobby. I've been around a long time and I've never seen a community so touchy about something as having Lisp in the name and not being quite a Lisp. The scorn is real. newLisp has been called a garbage lisp for example that no one in their right mind would use.

tldr; Go ahead and use S-Expression syntax but don't put "lisp" in the name. Rich Hickey knew this when he made Clojure.

Indeed such compounds do not have a half life. They can only continue to increase in concentration in everyone’s body over time, assuming environmental exposure remains constant. Of course it is theoretically possible to live in an hermetically sealed environment without such compounds, where are all incoming substances are controlled, that would allow the body to naturally excrete such compounds over time. But we don’t know the rate at which this happens.
