For anyone considering whether to disable these for desktop performance, I tried to do some research on how much it helps, at least for my workload. From what I was able to read, for gaming, the performance differences are negligible. There also seems to be some indication that disabling mitigations is also harmful to performance on more recent CPUs, since more and more of the mitigations are being baked into the silicon.

David Hilbert published a list of 23 open problems in mathematics near the turn of the 20th century, and they served to goad the mathematics community into action for the next 75 years at least (some are still unsolved, but most were solved).

Saying "this is a problem that should be solved" might betray a lack of knowledge of an existing solution, but hand-waving such an assertion away and saying "he can't back up his opinion" isn't helpful.

If he's wrong, anyone can show why by demonstrating a correct solution to the problem - and then we'll all learn something.

I think a lot of reluctance to communicate problems is due to a lack of trust. If you are building an environment where management supports staff and mentors them, I believe it creates a culture where staff are also more likely to do the same with each other.

In my experience this type of culture is quite rare, and I think it's great that you are encouraging this in your own organization.
OK. Fair interpretation.

The OP didn't have much leg to really stand on for this point and glosses over any of the actual difficult work that would need to be done to make this utopia from the 70/80/90s materialize.

It's not a great post, and its ideas are not that clearly worked out. He could seriously work on his tone.

It could be parsed minimally as a just a grumpy rant with a bit of "get off the lawn" and a few wrong ideas.

Mostly a waste of time.

I'm steelmanning it because personally I'd prefer to get as much as possible from what I've read. Even if it wasn't necessarily put it in the first place (maximizing my utility from it, for my purposes). I'm not debating the OP.

If you're acting from a position of keeping him honest. Kudos.

So I don't really need to engage you on the point then.

I'm agreeing that you'd probably be able to take down the OP in an argument. Or at least would force him to up his game considerable to be able to actually make his points clearly.

BTW, I really like your use of "steelmanning" here.

Actually looking at his other points after this exchange:

(2) I think modern VMs have amazing engineering - is he asking for hacks? Or what?

(3) Cloud offerings could be more coherent. But there are real market and organisational constraints.

(4) Drag and drop UI designers would be nice, and I miss them, but even the good ones used to produce terrible code when used innocently.

(5) I think modern compilers are pretty awesome. Not sure what he wants done.

(6) Yeah. We could build better more compact systems.

His unhappiness at the state of the world.

Hmm. Moaning about it like that doesn't really do much to solve it...
For anyone who feels the temperatures discussed in the article are oppressive, I recommend they try to spend more time outdoors for a month if they are not constrained doing so by debilitating health problems. When I used to live within an urban core with a greenbelt interlacing the neighborhoods, I regularly walked/jogged outside in 37º C (98º F), 90% humidity. It was tough the first few weeks, but the human body is highly adaptable. Strongly YMMV, as some people just cannot stand the outdoors, just like some are supertasters.

Apart from the benefits of not being dependent upon A/C for comfort, I found out when I vacationed in a tropical region I really enjoyed mixing with the locals in outdoor cafés, with no distractions from the heat and humidity (mosquitoes are another story, I just slather up 3M Ultrathon and will take the increased cancer risk consequences later in my life /s).

The only downside I could identify: I had to carry around a jacket year-round, because what most people associate with "normal indoors temperature", especially in offices, felt quite cold to me. Which is ironic, because my tolerance of cold weather also increased. I suspect the key variable is either humidity, and I'm just more comfortable now in high-humidity environments, and low-humidity offices somehow raise my perceived sensitivity to the temperature. Or just that I'm not as physically active inside an office (part of the reason I love to WFH, as I can take short breaks outdoors to keep myself invigorated).
What's your favorite productivity app/tool on SLACK and why you love it?
SLACK is arguably the most popular collaborative tool globally, its usage has exploded after the COVID due to remote work. Hundreds and thousands of teams use Slack to collaborate with each other.
Due to this extraordinary usage, often, Slack becomes overloaded with tons of messages, as a result, teams use some Productivity hacks/tools/apps to keep them on top of their Slack!
What all have you tried and what is your favorite tool/hack on SLACK? Why?
You are correct, if you constantly hold it offset from its balance point, the wheels will spin up until they saturate and it falls over.

The overshooting of the balance point isn't intentional, but a byproduct of the "learning control" employed to improve the jump. Brake residue alters the stopping ability of the brakes (and thus the duration of the energy transfer into the cube's body), and a slightly offset center of mass affects the location of the balance point. In successive attempts at jumping up the energy of the wheels is altered to compensate for these effects, if it undershoots once, likely it will overshoot the next time as it "hones in" on the correct settings. Once the jump is close enough to the balance point, the control switches from open-loop "jump" into closed-loop "balance" to stabilize the cube around the balance point.

The wheels are actively controlled by the motors, so it's not gravity that is slowing the wheels down, rather the moment that is required to stabilize the cube's body. There is also friction in the system, so some energy is always lost and thus the wheel rotational rates will tend to zero around the balance point.
Yea, but 20 million?

I think you can also partially think of it as a gamble (similar to doing a startup).

For example, I did a machine learning related PhD that propelled me into my dream job, earning about 3x more than I would have otherwise.

My motivation wasn't money though, and that's probably the mindset you need, but it's not guaranteed to be a bad outcome financially :-)

We are talking about a warranty-related claim, not a claim about damages they'd have to pay regardless of the warranty offered.

But anyway: If I travel outside the US and buy a harmful appliance in a local shop, a US court would probably not take the case. Am I right? What would the manufacturer have to do to get exposure to US law?
> All those things are either signs of a difficult home environment or a learning disability.

That's not true, some kids are just shitheads and don't feel like listening to anyone or doing what they're told. Personal responsibility has to come into play at some point, you can't just blame every problem on external factors.

Intriguing idea, but for me the criteria used to root out doppelgängers doesn’t lead to interesting results. My HN soul mates do not write like me, do not write about the same things, and do things I would never do, such as refer to Wikipedia articles.
Equating low effort and disruptiveness with "the kid has a learning disability or a broken home environment" is certainly an interesting way of absolving schools for the broken, chaotic environment they put kids through. Could it be that not enforcing meaningful school discipline might also be a factor into students "not showing up", being disruptive and not putting in effort?
That's really not true though, lots of dev-focused tools explicitly require hopping into a terminal and typing away commands. Plus at a certain point, anyone with any real curiosity is going to think "I wonder what's hidden behind these abstractions I see all the time?" and dig deeper anyways

Conversely, I've worked at places where the people who had been there for 5-10 years were just coasting, the product was stagnant, and constantly hiring new people was the only way to get out of a rut. They were paying these people for maintenance and to hold on to institutional knowledge, but everybody was so comfortable that very little got done.
I'm confused by this comment. They cite examples of it working. Similar setups have been working in Cuba for a long time. What isn't working?

Are you just saying that actual free internet access would be better? Sure, that's true, but not practical everywhere.
The reason they don't want to do anything other than security updates, and sometimes not even that, is because they need consistency across calculations over time.

This might be a poor example, but lets say an error was found in a computation in a library, for example a rounding error or something, in that case, more often than not, the community will rather live with the known error and have consistency instead.
> Hydroponics allow you grow crops in PVC pipes with a lot less water wastage and theoretically maybe even move them around on trucks. You could grow something on a parking lot.

I really like hydroponics, but you never (rarely?) see it used to grow heavier, food-dense foods like potatoes, or anything that grows on a tree. It’s all leafy salad greens and strawberries. I don’t really know why that is.

Bread is a great example of a processed food. Depending on the bread you are extracting out fiber (enriching), adding in elements to modify texture (yeast or baking soda/powder), restoring nutrients (B vitamins), oils, enhancing shelf life with enzymes, vinegars (acetic acid), pectins, securing in freezer burn resistant plastics.

The level of processing is up to you and your preferences, same thing for vegans.
That kind of building is insane:
- nobody wants to live in an overcrowded village with almost zero garden around the house; not in a new one, some old ones are almost decent (for example, Ohrid in Macedonia or Dubrovnic in Croatia)
- there is no space for cars
- 700 identical houses are insane. At least you can build 15-20 different types and mix everything well, so it does not look like a horror movie
- such a village will need some stores and restaurants well fit in the picture, but not in castle-like buildings

Probably the 300 were bought by people looking for investment purchases, with no plan to move and without spending any time to look what this will become, just at the plan of the building they are buying. Out of context purchase of real estate, modus operandi of certain types of investors.

GP here, responding directly. I've been told by a ycombinator company that they want to see 2+ years at an engineering heavy company.

>No one cares about someone’s improvised broad generalizations and “one day it’ll be great” patronizing speeches.

I was just matching the patronizing, brusque tone in your original post.

>The question was what’s it good for as it is today, based on people with knowledge about it.

I apologize, then, because I don't think that was clear from your post, which contained only the text "So what is this tech good for in the first place." If your question were "So what are the device's current capabilities?" or something similar, then I would've responded differently.

>In particular the only thing you demonstrated here is that you have absolutely no knowledge about it.

I do, actually. Your question (ending in a period) came across as extremely condescending and dismissive, and as if you were questioning the value of BCIs in general. So my goal with that post was to try to make an argument for the potential of what BCI tech is good for in the first place, as I interpreted your post.

> If fire is the Promethean gift that first made us civilized, ice is a bewildering opposite; it has been tamed only by civilizations so advanced into decadence that they can warp the seasons.

Okay, so here's what you do. You need some place where you have fresh lakes and cold winters, like upstate New York. During the winter, you go to the lake and saw out chunks of ice. You put them in a building where you pack them in sawdust for storage. You put them on a boat and sell your ice around the world, as far away as Australia. Or you put them on a train — that's only the really advanced civilization part, really.

And now you've "warped the seasons". Talk about over-the-top.

Hey. Hey, remember _Back to the Future III_ where they're in the Old West and some people laugh at Marty for wanting ice water and Doc's got a refrigeration apparatus? All nonsense. They've got a railroad right there, they'd definitely get ice shipped in on that train.
Building Data-Driven Applications with Hypi's low code back end
It's a philosophy I fully subscribe to. Nobody I know can make enough to own a house and live the good life. Capitalism doesn't always work.
A productive education system should dedicate resources to students equally with voluntary options for students who perform outside the norm. That means not disproportionately dedicating resources to students who fail aside from tutoring outside class. Some students just deserve to fail. It is better find that out early instead of lying to children that everything is great and kicking the can down the road to the shock of adulthood.

Teachers are not parents. They have limited time and resources to devote to a specified area of instruction divided amongst a number of students. Some parents are extreme failures in their responsibility which performs the greatest disservice to a child. This is how I ended up with a foster child with emotional trauma. Teachers must not be expected to perform the job of a parent just because some parents are so horribly bad at being parents.
That doesn't answer the question at all. You were asked "how do I know you won't leave in a short time frame?" and you answered the completely different question "what benefit (to you) have you got from having lots of jobs?". If anything, it suggests you view leaving companies after a short time as a positive thing you'd want to do again.

By the way, I don't agree that if a company would like employees that tend to stick around then that indicates some sort if weird cult-like behaviour. It's more like a recognition that productivity naturally is lower in the months after someone joins than after they've been there for a year or two. Choosing people that are able to stick at a job for a few years is just a sensible business decision. Admittedly it does have social benefits too i.e. there's a better work environment for everyone if you get to know other people over a period of time (in spite of some HN commenters' views that we're all robots that shouldn't care about interactions with coworkers). But, in my view, even that is reasonable justification.

I'm not criticising SPAs or the modern web stack in whatever flavour you choose (there are pros and cons to abstractions), but I still do miss the ability to just browse the page code, the web being more open in that regard.
I'm surprised that pip-tools isn't more popular. For the stuff I do with Python (small CLI tools, casual webdev) it's completely adequate. I can pin down my dependencies, upgrade to a new pinned state and sync my venvs with the packages specified in the generated requirements.txt.

Maybe there are more elegant or modern ways of doing this, but for my personal projects I haven't found a reason to switch to anything else.

Btw, there is also micropipenv[0] now which can consume both poetry and pipenv lockfiles and convert them to pinned down requirements.txts as generated by pip-tools.

> Second, trans activists can not understand that there is a huge number of women who are not comfortable with the fact that anyone can say they identify as a woman and do things like observe them naked.

How is this argument different from, say, "There are a huge number of men who aren't comfortable with homosexuals seeing their nakedness in public restrooms and changing rooms, and if they won't take medical treatment to get rid of their unnatural attractions, they need to be separated from society"?

Like the whole thing hackers are supposed to be good at is recognizing patterns and coming up with abstractions. How is this not just another instance of the same class of mistreatment Alan Turing suffered?
Consulting is a little unique in my experience - if there's a steady stream of work, you never really stick with the same client full time for the full 5 years. It's a lot easier to keep your skills fresh and move around to find interesting challenges
