>If everyone prioritized wealth equally, then the overall statistics would show higher IQ correlating with more wealth.

This seems like unjustified conjecture. There are so many variables at play in determining the ability to gain wealth; if I'm "high IQ" (rolling my eyes at this term) and want to gain wealth, but I have to care for my ailing mother, or raise four children on my own, will I succeed?

One can make a lot of money on YouTube without needing a formal education, and I struggle to see how you would measure the "IQ" of the successful YouTube stars.

Isn't there a flawed assumption that you need a high paying job that requires high IQ to amass wealth?
And then we discovered that not only English speakers want to use PCs.
Yup. Private security has always been a thing. This is just democratizing access to the middle class and upper middle class.
Well yes, because we’ve chosen poorly, and the bar is so low on basic scientific knowledge in this country.

So then how do you combat climate change? Why would those making billions to pollute the environment care about science if we don’t elect officials who can enforce regulation. At least now we have some pull and some percentage of elected officials making rational decisions. Without even that, what do we have?

And back to the article at hand. Elected officials need to be at least in charge of military response I would assume you would agree. Is it not best that they can understand it’s not an alien or “commy” conspiracy when they make decisions?
Reminds me of how the Buddhist solves the problem of suffering by minimising wants, and the Christian by forgiving and loving people and the world for their flaws.

Wired had an article last week on "interspecies money" to identify and attach monetary value to everything on the planet - including birds and trees - to give agency to these actors.

> Not only is it an incumbent switching to another architecture; it's an incumbent switching to another incumbent architecture. ARM is older than PowerPC and almost as old as the Macintosh itself; it came out in 1985.

> I gather that it's true that ARM hasn't been as good about backwards compatibility as some of its competitors, but was ARMv8 really so much of a jump from ARMv7 that one can't count it as part of the same line of processors anymore?

> I wasn't ever really talking about just aarch64; I was talking about all of ARM.

M1 is AArch64 only. You incorrectly brought ARMv8 into the discussion. AArch32 is irrelevant in the context of the M1.

Fair to highlight worse backwards compatibility but then you can't bring back AArch32 which Apple dropped years ago to try to claim that the M1 somehow uses an old architecture.
That sounds great, yet the realities of solar are very different from the dream of solar.

I say this as someone who purchased and installed his own 20 kW array on a custom- built structure (not on the roof). To put it in simple terms, the system will likely never be profitable. The overall cost and ten to fifteen year lifetime of the components is such that I can’t see or predict when it will break even. My assumption is that all the panels will need replacement in 15 to 20 years, possibly less for the electronics.

Note that this does not include a battery system. This, given the short and long terms economics of the system would be a ridiculous purchase today.

And this is at a reasonably favorable latitude. Start going north and solar becomes far less attractive.

I genuinely wish we had not gone solar. This was likely the single dumbest and worst investment of my life. Anyone thinking otherwise likely doesn’t have solar or never truly analyzed the real economics of their systems.

I also have lots of neighbors with solar, most of which were installed by companies. In nearly every case they are worse off than they were before. The only ones who are not are those who did not pay for their systems directly.

Theory vs. reality are very different things. I am not even going to analyze the cost of such installations when government agencies are the builders. I’ll just guess the number us somewhere between 5x and 10x “civilian” costs. I say this as someone with experience selling technology to government agencies. Simple example: The California high speed train. We were told it would cost ten billion. We are at a hundred billion and I don’t think we have completed ten miles of slow speed train yet.

One thing to note: the bottleneck demonstrated here is in write transactions per second, not in GB|rows inserted per second or anything.

The vast majority of businesses will never hit 400qps for writes anyway (and many of the ones that would could throw a sharding strategy at the problem), but just having a lot of data being written isn't sufficient to make sqlite an untenable solution; problems only arise when the insertions of that data need to be extremely fine-grained.
>Go Code Generation.

Agree

>Go Error Handling

Go error handling has its downsides but how can you misuse it? If your code may generate an error = return an error to handle elsewhere. If the code you are calling returns an error = handle it.

Government is involved in science everywhere. Through both policy and investments.
Everyone always points out how some politician has failed to understand some aspect of technology or some particular deep domain of knowledge.
This problem is never going to get better because it isn't feasible that those who spend their lives mostly trying to understand how to campaign and influence you to vote for them are going to deeply understand anything about complicated subjects of the world.

It is the entire reason the original role of government was essentially to protect your liberties. Not decide how you should live your life or what is true or false in the realm of deep fields of knowledge.
As your skull is stoved in, you smile to yourself, euphoric in the knowledge that the market will eventually reach an equilbrium.

CSS does have a preference.

CSS has absolutely 0 knowledge of your BEM hierarchy, they're just different names as far as its concerned. The developer has just chosen to pretend that a hierarchy exists where there is none.

CSS cannot do trees, but it can do logical AND and OR, so you can somewhat express a hierarchy as a union of the different levels of your tree, so

.button.login.green has a logical meaning in CSS where .button__login--green is no different than using .pinapple as a class name.

When the Branch Divinians released some hostages (a number of children) who seemingly were sexually assaulted inside of the compound, that kind of forces the government negotiators to act.

Nonetheless, my point is well supported by your argument. There are a huge number of Americans who were disillusioned by those events. The Waco Siege has been used multiple times as an "Excuse" for domestic terrorists to take lethal action on fellow Americans.

Those particular Americans who were disillusioned by the attack are also a particular kind of people to stockpile weapons themselves. So yes, it makes sense to keep tabs on potential domestic terrorists who have grievances from that time.

Towing with a car is normal, you need to let your insurance know if you fit a towbar to a car that didn’t have one. You are limited to a max trailer weight of 750kg without an upgraded driving license. Also many normal sized cars have a max towing capacity which is about 750kgs anyway.
Very effective
I have a Harbor Freight trailer I tow with a Honda fit. It's 8 feet long, and I built sides on it about 4 feet tall. It's got a 1500lb capacity, and my hitch on my car is rated to 2000lbs. The trailer was $300, the hitch for my car was $150. Spent a few bucks on wood for the floor and sides of the trailer. Been using this thing for about 20 years. Never needed a truck. Most truck beds anymore are less than 6 feet long, because everybody needs a 4 door. A trailer is $35,000 cheaper than a truck, and when you unhook it from your car, you can still use the car to take a trip and get 35-40mpg. I tow motorcycles, dirt, trash to the dump. I tore off my old roof and hauled it all to the dump in my trailer. I have used it to bring home 16 foot boards, plywood, sheetrock. It's light enough that I can move it around when it's unhooked. It takes about 30 seconds to hook up.

My neighbor did the same thing, and built his entire deck, brought in all his concrete, boards, materials, etc in with his Mazda 3 on a small utility trailer.

These small trailers are so useful and cheap, I don't know why you'd spend any money renting one. And they're actually more useful than these pickups with short stubby beds that are only good for a half ton anyways.

I have done various accessibility spiels on HN before.

I think most people who are ... (and heaven help me, what do we even call this now? "Webmaster" is out, "web designers" seem to focus on almost anything else in the real world, "programmer" is too broad ...) people who are responsible what actual HTML tags and CSS attributes are assigned in the final output either care about this to some degree or simply haven't been introduced to the concept. Overall, we'd rather close our tags and put in the alt attributes and so on. There's nothing malign about it.

However, the people who decide what our time will be spent on dismiss even the barest accessibility as soon as it hits their radars. Even when I could get "through" to them, well, it's all about what the client wants. And accessibility is a concern that ranges deeply enough through our efforts that we cannot simply squeeze it in as five percent, or a skunkworks project.

I help out a little old lady (eighty-eight this year) and my mother with computer "stuff," and that's a whole dimension of accessibility which just gets ignored. Not every user of an application is some sharp-eyed twenty-something with fine motor control and an ingrained habit of scanning the UI for changes, and yet these people are effectively ignored.

Is what bothers you that the complex plane has this very specific feature that purely imaginary x purely imaginary = real, so you're "mixing" orthogonal dimensions ?

However, I still don't understand your reticence, since imaginary numbers are fundamentally about cycles and rotations (via exponentiation), and rotations fundamentally require having 2 dimensions to represent them : hence a plane !

(Like you say, you also need 2 dimensions to be able to have orthogonality...)

And I'm getting a bit rusty here, but I guess that imaginary being orthogonal to real might be why these Fourier basis vectors are orthogonal ?

I mean, it's literally Euler's formula :

exp(𝛕iθ) = cos(𝛕θ) + i sin(𝛕θ)

I don't remember, aren't those 2 orthogonal basis vectors "cos" and "sin" ?

Agree, there will never be so much as one solitary erg of commercially viable energy from neutron-emission fusion. Thus, every penny spent on it is, in effect, stolen from actually-viable projects, including just building out solar and wind energy extraction, energy-storage, and (eventually) liquid-hydrogen aviation fuel infrastructure.

That is not to say fusion will never be useful: as aneutronic spacecraft propulsion, fusing deuterium with He3 to emit ions at extreme velocity, it might be the way of the future. That is, provided we find a good way to synthesize He3. (No, we will not mine it.)

The only product of any value from the countless $billions spent chasing that ghost is a generation of plasma physicists not afraid to say, "plasma fluid dynamics". (Most physicists can barely bring themselves to mention MHD, its artificially well-behaved baby brother.)
If that is Taleb's main point then he is beating a long dead horse. This has been the common understanding, at least in Psychology, forever. Intelligence is much more varied than can be measured with a simple test and IQ more just measures your chances of success within a certain context.
I agree about these violent lawless police forces, but those crime victims are not exactly innocent either. Most (violent) crime is done out of sheer desperation, and the root cause of this desperation can often be traced back to the (predominantly white) upper-middle class, flaunting their riches, and becoming increasingly hard targets, isolating themselves from the "unwashed masses" in their ivory towers.

To further point out the stereotyping in this thread, take a look at the announcement thread of the tesla cybertruck and compare the sentiment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21602437).

Not to mention that the cybertruck has nearly the same dimensions as the f150 (https://youtu.be/sLvopc9oI4A?t=199) and has a shape that is more likely to cut you in half if it were to hit you. It also has a payload that's more comparable with a ford super duty and will likely weight more than the lightning to support that.
