> Well, that's the purpose of "reset"

Well, that's the purpose or "reset --hard". "reset" alone doesn't do that. That's the difference with "rm". With "rm" you expect something to be removed. "rm" may fail because you gave it a directory but you forgot "-r". Or it may fail because you don't have the right to the parent directory or something. But it is pretty much expected that something will be deleted if you run "rm".

From the perspective of people who don't understand the difference between "git reset", "git reset --hard", etc., that some of those will destroy their data but not others, is part of the confusion. And when they picked one instead of the other and lose their modifications, they'll blame git from being confusing to use, not themselves for not doing a backup before running a command in their source directory with a program that is used to manage source directories.
You forget that there's an etos of work in Japan. Besides of getting some small amount of money, those people get a chance for being useful. That is a mental effect as well and should not be overlooked. Not to mention it reduces unemployment.

If you look around there's plenty of such a "pointless" jobs. The same with people steering the traffic at the parking lot entrances/exits at any bigger entertainment or shopping center. Sometimes with almost no pedestrians around and yet those people are standing there in sun or rain alike. Or people who's only job is to smile and open doors for you, less common, but happens as well.

To be honest, though, as a "consumer" of such jobs (pedestrian in this case) I do feel they took an extra mile to make it as safe and comfortable for me as possible. And I do feel better about it.

It may look pointless at the surface, but I think those jobs are extremely important for society at large.

Vaguely relatedly: I used to design graphics accelerators for Macs (back in the 90s) we got our best performance by spending time making writing 0s (or rather solid fills) really really fast (1.5Gb/s which was lot back then) - why? because as always whatever you'd do in hardware, the software guys would piss away - for example sometimes excel would erase the background 8 times before it ever wrote a black pixel - there was little point in speeding up those black (interesting, useful) pixels when speeding up the background white ones being written over and over on top of themselves was such a win
I don’t think I have a magic silver bullet.

But one thing that I try to do is to keep people around me and maintain family bonds and friendship. I talk a lot on the phone with my mother, brother and friends. Every second week I meet up with local friends to just have a drink and chat/catch up. A “gentleman’s club”, if you like. (We are lucky enough to have a place we can borrow for our meetings, so it’s more calm/intimate than just hanging out at the pub.)

I believe this helps me coping with the misery I feel from time to time.

A conditioned mind (of an unrealized one) needs to be engaged in some activity to feel worthwhile (one of the definitive ways of measuring your progress in meditation is to check how long you can sit with just yourself without engaging in any activity [0]).

It's also a fact that only few seem to demonstrate interest in creative/selfless pursuits at any point in time if you see in our history. For most people, the worthwhile activity had been working to survive – to make ends-meet somehow. (You'd not hear people in poor places even today having these mental problems of depression/etc.)

In last few decades, more and more people on the planet (especially in western world) have gotten material comforts which were only available to very rich/powerful people. So the struggle for the basic stuff, which used to consume one's life for most people, is simply no longer there.

A conditioned mind without meaningful activity is a devil workshop. It rejoices in negativity, gossips etc naturally then. Social media has given a platform to such mind and with follows/retweets/likes as added bonus that give social justification and encouragement of its negativity.

America, this is so fucked up.
My wife recently had a burst apendice with perithonitis and a lot of puss in her abdomen and she had no fever.

After the surgery my parents(both doctors) told me to watch for fever as a sign of reinfection.
I had to remind them there was no fever in the first place and that was likely a bad proxy for infection in her case.
We do not seem to live in an era that could produce a work of science fiction like Star Trek: The Next Generation in which humanity has mostly solved its major internal problems - racism, scarce resources, political discord, etc. Who would believe something like this nowadays?

> killing animals... would continue to occur at roughly the same rate even if there were no humans in the world

Would it? Maybe in absolute terms when you include insects, but it's less clear if you talk about specific taxa. >50e9 chickens per year are slaughtered (and most don't have great lives before that), which is comparable to low-end estimates of the total number of wild birds on the planet (https://www.dw.com/en/50-billion-birds-live-on-earth-new-stu...). It seems likely that humans kill more chickens pa than non-humans kill all other birds combined.
With work from home, for some workers the time previously spent in a commute may have partly been converted into time spent consuming. I know this applies to me at least. WFH also allows online shopping during breaks, that was not something I would do at the office.

I'm puzzled as to why we'd somehow expect so much more of artificial intelligence than we expect of natural intelligence, or that we somehow don't expect to be able to develop artificial intuition systems.

My own intuition ;-) is that intuition seems to derive more from pattern matching than from logic.
I learned about bothTCP/IP and ARM in university, and my take-away was that ARM was specifically for phone calls, not data. Maybe that perception held it back.

Or maybe TCP/IP was simply too entrenched. Even IPv6 has been unable to replace IPv4.

HN does various title mangling: capitalising things, removing words like “your” and numbers from the start, that kind of thing. I strongly dislike it because it harms titles far too often. Fortunately it allows you to second-guess it by going back and editing the title after submission.

It is easy to understand why social networks promote such content, user engagement is the simplest metric for optimization.

But why do readers prefer negativity? It comes down to ego. Confirming the bias that "they" are wrong, stupid and corrupted gives "us" right to feel superior.

Not sure what could help here. Maybe teaching children to recognize their own biases?
If you apply your microcode using the OS loader (as described in the post), you can switch back to any microcode (which is at least as new as your BIOS version) by rebuilding the initramfs with the microcode of your choice and rebooting.
Regen braking is noticeably less powerful when your battery is nearly full, and you have to manually use your friction brakes more. Sounds like it might be a safety issue, but in any scenario where you use regen brakes you have more than enough time to switch to physical brakes if you want to.

As a serial founder/ employee number 2 or 3, I'm seriously addicted to early startup. Plus I'm older than most of y'all so the hiring thing is even harder.

What I did to remain viable in the periods between startups is, I got really good at a couple technical things that are in high demand and I consult, for small startups who just raised money and really need something to work. So far my eccentric history seems intriguing to my clients and not a red flag as it would be for Faang.

I suspect this strategy will continue to work as long as start-up capital is flooding the zone. Once there's a pullback, I'm likely to be in trouble.

So of course I'm raising money again for another startup. Wish me luck.
There is a lot of rental regulations, and jurisdictions are rated on how renter or landlord friendly it is. Rental regulations are old, and you happen to live in a place where its landlord slanted. In places like SF, you can stop paying your rent and tie up your landlord for YEARS and not get evicted. Rent control ensures your rent goes up at a rate way below inflation, something like %0.5, and so on and so forth.

> Neither our economy nor the demands of a live well-lived dictate that everyone should aspire to be sitting alone at a desk in rural Narashino, crafting literature to the light of the rising sun. My growing concern, however, is that such real commitment to thought has become too rare.

With that said generalisations like the one quoted are not substantiated. I don't think real commitment/passion to anything was that popular to begin with if we take the general population. Even historically if we take education levels back then.

In every field there are people that excel, people that go by and people that shouldn't be there. All of these are based on an individual's choice and priority/circumstances. Do I want to be the person that excels and be one of the best in this field or not? Murakami decided he didn't want to be just a writer, but a great one. Whether he succeeded is another matter, but he tried because he could and wanted it. I've read only "South of the Border, West of the Sun" and it was ok, but not really something special (IMHO).

Inflation is… complicated. One component of inflation is people’s expectations of future inflation. If prices keep going up, people will start to expect it and won’t hold on to cash for as long, which creates its own feedback loop, etc.

I would say manual feature extraction? Your custom extraction could reduce the variable lengths to a uniform dimension (same number of features for every input), which can then be used by almost any algorithm.

These automatic extractions are very statistical in nature indeed, but for some datasets domain insights are more valuable and give more usable features (in my opinion). I found quite some datasets where manual features + gradient boosted trees give better results then automated statistical methods. Often combinations give better results :)

I did learn to read, write, listen, and speak three foreign languages in high school. Beyond learning vocabulary, there was not much memorizing going on. I still use two of these foreign languages regularly!

I would rather we fix foreign language education rather than just cut it. Besides, why not teach parts of these "life lessons" during foreign language class? Might be interesting to compare home economics in different cultures.

So as far as I'm concerned... Gmail and Google Voice have pretty much always been working as intended for me.

It's kind of what you have to expect when you consider that we are Google's beta testers. Gmail was in beta for YEARS. If something new shows up, I may wait a year and see if it's still around, then maybe consider that I start using it... if I have a use for it.

In the end, Gmail is worth it to me over having to run my own email server. Never again. Ugh.

Skewed performance tests? Dubious funding? I'm not sure what you mean. Can't Facebook fund any technical work?

I see some reasons not to use it (like it's a vulkan-like low-level-only API, or portability issues, or some missing APIs in my case-s) but 'it was funded by facebook' and 'it has security risks'? I mean I'm not sure there's an area in the kernel without corporate funding/support, or without past security bugs. We keep finding vulnerabilities in ipv6, sctp... Yes the Linux kernel dev process is lacking but likely for different symptoms & causes?

Good point, but I can still see the possibility of somef feature where people are at least warned about or have to go through some disclaimer when posting on certain subject matters, and this causes the whole platform to be more positive, open minded, and improving the lives of people in significant ways.

All current major platforms are getting a lot of heat for being so corrosive to society in some form or another, I think soon there should be more demand for more wholesome social media sites that do some innovation in terms of how they reward attention, but I agree, advertising is the lowest form of business model or whatever it is.

They are unnecessarily vague/mysterious.

Instead, the title should just state what is the case: "Intel CPU-update causes slowdown" or something like that.
Well, at 70 mph the load would be a lot. If the car were towed at 25 mph it wouldn't be as difficult, and I assume most EVs let you configure the regen amount. If you set it to light regen it'll be easier to tow, but charging will take longer.

Having at least some regen braking all the time seems like kind of a benefit, since there's less risk of the rear car hitting the front car if the front car stops abruptly and the driver in back doesn't step on the brakes fast enough.

I can agree though that if the EV being towed really thinks it's supposed to try to stop as hard as it can, it would take a pretty powerful engine/motor or low gearing in the lead car to drag it along.

Wikipedia on clickbait <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clickbait>:

> Clickbait is a text or a thumbnail link that is designed to attract attention and to entice users to follow that link and read, view, or listen to the linked piece of online content, with a defining characteristic of being deceptive, typically sensationalized or misleading. A "teaser" aims to exploit the "curiosity gap", providing just enough information to make readers of news websites curious, but not enough to satisfy their curiosity without clicking through to the linked content. Click-bait headlines add an element of dishonesty, using enticements that do not accurately reflect the content being delivered.

I don’t feel this applies in this case because it fails to be deceptive, misleading or dishonest. (Parts of the definition certainly apply, but not enough.)

Sure, you could have a title like “Intel just slowed down their CPUs with a microcode update” (and I do prefer explicit titles like this—you should see the titles I write myself, 70- and 80-character limits severely cramp my style), but the article’s title isn’t particularly bad.
The local 1-hour stops and lengthy freight train delays really slow things down drastically for Amtrak. If the train was just moving all the time it would be a lot less painful.

The trains are stinky and dumpy, usually with absurdly high fares, but if they kept moving they would be tolerable.

The rail pass is nice because it allows for stopovers, but the Amtrak trips in between are going to be a drag.

Perhaps some trains should remake themselves to be more like cruises, with luxury amenities (delicious food and drink, gym/exercise classes/spa/wave pool, on-train entertainment, live DJ/music and dance floor, interesting lectures and debates, celebrity meet & greet, arts and crafts, on-train library and book discussions, games and social activities, movie theater, etc.) so you wouldn't actually want to get off the train and you wouldn't care about the horrible delays. There could be stopovers at interesting places, and local tours. Or maybe there could be "work cars" with comfortable desks/chairs, high-speed internet access, coffee and snack service, etc..
So some significant portion of the US ended up unemployed due to pandemic restrictions in order to protect the rest of the US from infection and we had a moratorium on evictions in order to protect the rest of the US from people ending up homeless, with covid and also not bathing and the like and now they owe multiple months worth of rent in a state where rent trends very expensive, but you are just going to tell me they are "bums" who simply don't want to pay their bills?
