> If you want to make money work on your skills and get a job.

OK, fine. During the pandemic, I picked up and studied trading, and made more money doing that than my actual job (assistant teacher at a university).

I know the next step I'm going to take.

Why does everyone lack foresight in regards to where UBI will eventually lead? People are just going to keep voting for the guy promising more and more UBI bucks. Yeah maybe $1000 isn’t much, but give it a few election cycles.
Improving 3D Printing with AI – Leigh Johnson of Print Nanny
The mileage of others may vary, but it has been my experience that there is no cogent solid proof of uncountability that can withstand concerted critique.[0]

Being charitable one might argue that the meanings of terminology had been lost in translation over time and that perhaps Cantor was trying to create non-standard analysis, but then the diagonal argument seems to represent nothing more than the truism that finite numbers are smaller than transfinite ones.

Hence I worry about people who are still worrying about this issue, and I worry for the future of science and AI in particular if folks can't get clear of it.

Don't want.
I'm so excited about this - I've been looking for a cheap device that won't take up much space and allow me to play AAA PC games despite having a Macbook as a primary machine. Can't wait to get my hands on this.
Well, talking about a range here. Presumably the government isn't privatizing janitorial services to maintain a national market for janitorial engineers. ;)

And I guess that's the rub. There's places where it does make sense and places where it doesn't. Unfortunately, where it gets used and where it doesn't is ultimately a political process.
Probably not. You can load anything through the SD card slot. Just create software and load it through there or the many USB ports it has! They are saying you can even overwrite the OS so they are not restricting you.
> If Epic Games or Ubisoft decides to make their game stores work on Linux, I bet they would run on Steam Deck too.

They can, because the FAQ says it's just a PC running Arch linux and you can install Windows on it if you want, which means you can do whatever you want. Maybe it can run on the same OS (probably, if it's just Linux, but we'll see how customized it is), or at a minimum you could just install something else.
Rocket reuse is spacex secret sauce, they don't talk about what they do or how much it costs AT_ALL it's kinda frustrating.
Yeah, I almost always need something from an external repository with Debian based systems.

I need external repositories (albeit rarely) with Arch too though and that has never caused a problem.
We spent most of our recording burps and playing them back and making prank phone calls.
I think this is a great question.

The difference here is that with busy beaver numbers, e.g. BB(101) we can, presumably, write their values with our notation; it's just that we often cannot prove that any particular value written in our notation does indeed denote the value for that function. So if we write 100000...0000 with an unholy number of 0s there, it might be the value of BB(101), in particular we might not be able to prove that it isn't.

On the other hand, for a non-standard number, c, it is definitely the case that 100000...0000 is not c, because, whatever c is, it is strictly greater than 100000...0000, or any other number we can write down.

And thus when it comes to proofs about the termination of Turing machines that do not actually terminate, the unsound system is claiming that some machine terminates, but it doesn't terminate in 1 step, nor 2 steps, nor 3 steps, nor ... nor 100000...0000 steps, nor 100000...0001 steps, nor 100000...0002 steps, nor .... However, regarding the BB(101), the (presumably) sound systems we use such as PA, or ZFC, do not claim that BB(101) isn't 100000...0000. They just may not be able to prove anything one way or the other.
It's solved by banning that group/activity. When the value proposition is net-negative, there should be curbs on such activity.
I've run Arch for years and this in no way resembles my experience.

Yes, Arch requires you manage and maintain your system, it's not a "just works" thing, but that's a few minutes of work here and there, it mostly just chugs along.

As to hosing your install, I've never had even the threat of that. Yes, you should check the news before doing upgrades to make sure there isn't something that requires your attention, but it's not exactly a big deal to check an RSS feed before you run an update command.
When I was a fifth grader in China, we were required to memorize all prime numbers below 100.

Curious if that is common in other countries?
Absolutely not. TLDR bootstrapped myself years ago before I had paying customers and market validation. Don’t sell your home. Just don’t.

Get someone to pay for what you are selling. Then find another customer. Iterate and keep building from there.

Once you have established some traction, then you can start thinking about (and ask HN) how to approach outside funding/how to scale the business.

Money follows money. So if you start having success, ultimately you will be able to find outside investment, if you even want it.

Side note: I have worked for several startups. Most in the beginning had investments from friends and family.
> Maybe in the database as stored procedures?

I did this for the very first external web app built for Bankers Trust Company back in the day. SQL Server back end with (classic) ASP on the front end. Even if someone had gained access to the web server, they wouldn't have had access to anything they shouldn't have. I built web apps, an online store, and a learning/video website using the same tech around the same time and they worked without issue for well over a decade. So, there is something to be said for this approach, though I wouldn't build something like this today.
What you are describing is one of the main use cases at ESR Labs (where Josh was created): For developers it is very convenient to work in a single tree. For reviewers and CI it is useful to look at the changes in a larger context.
For consumers/integrators however it is useful to only look at parts of the code that have to be shipped to particular customers, as submodules(or the like) in their repos.
Plus a lot of package managers assume library == repo as a default, so it is also easy to integrate with those while keeping monorepo processes for development.
Feasibility is not the problem. It's the lack of political will. Most cities will just ban or make life more difficult for the homeless than try to help people not become homeless in the first place. Once someone is homeless for a while, it's hard to help them because they develop mental health and substance abuse issues if they didn't already.
Defer sounds like a nice improvement over old old languages, but Java's try-with-resources is one of the nicer ways of handling resource cleanup I've seen in a "mainstream" language, it's fairly neat and conceptually similar to some stuff I've seen done with lisp macros or Ruby blocks. It seems like defer is still lacking compared to this.

What if they don't? What if a religious charity/non-profit refuses to support gay or lesbian people with disabilities? If we dismantled the welfare state to fund UBI, then those who need the most would be at the mercy of whatever organizations are around to help them.

Depends heavily on the objectives of both sides. That is nowhere near being absolutely true.
> That doesn’t work because we’re assuming that most marketers are making easy mistakes. The playbook is so simple that people on HN could write it, supposedly.

Those are someone else's words, not mine. I never argued that winning on Facebook is "easy" (and for the record, neither is it on Google). It's not easy, it's just doable. And for those who have the skills and resources to do it, it's massively profitable. I would even argue that if you're letting an agency run your Google or Facebook account, you're lacking the resources to do it right. What you need is top-level talent competing against your nearest competitors, and winning battles inch by inch. An agency will never give you the talent you need to go up against a company that just raised $100m and is running their performance marketing in-house (and if you don't have such a competitor, then you're either smarter than anyone else in the world, or simply not pursuing a VC-investable market).

So no, it's not easy at all. But it's doable and totally worth it.

I'm not going to shed too many tears if businesses which were in the business of making my business their business go out of business. It was a bad business to begin with.
Congratulations after all those mental gymnastics now you just sound like a robot.
30 engines that fired for the first time at launch on a prototype vehicle. The falcon heavy launches with 27, with 0 failures so far.
I was actually thinking about writing a “macro” (i.e. function) which takes in a math expressions as a string and an anonymous struct for these use cases:

eval("Ax + v", {.A = …, .x = …, v = …})

Wouldn’t that be cool?
That's the case with basically everything DeepMind does. They have a very good PR department which hypes up everything they do while conveniently ignoring that basically nothing of any practical consequence has come of their endeavors. But I do think it's important that these companies exist now so we can see what not to try going forward.
Its fascinating to me people take what he says literally, probably because they need to argue against proponents of the things they hate.

If you ever watch any of his interviews he rationally examines monetary policy and his reasons for liking Bitcoin. He is an MIT graduate in (Aeronautics?) Engineering, and makes analogies to closed energy systems.

He's not just saying "buy bitcoin". He's doing it himself. He's actually borrowed billions of dollars against his company to make such bets. That's skin in the game. That's conviction, as real as it gets. Still, someone people will try to say he's manipulating the market, he's only doing this to pump and dump. Maybe, but his company's is public, and so his balance sheets are public. What bigger bet could you possibly make then borrowing billions of dollars you don't have?

What he's describing what his literal path, and what he's actually done, and how he got obsessed with Bitcoin. If you think he's advising people to invest money they don't have, then I'm afraid you aren't actually paying attention to the conversation.
Egg Freezing Guide for Founders
first time posting on HN, please don't eat me.

I wrote this TL;DR egg freezing guide for founders - it's what I wish I had when I started my egg freezing journey.

It's unique to founders in that I tried to make it super easy to read & packed it with data, because founders don't have time to scour medical journals looking for these answers.

My take is that women deserve the reproductive autonomy egg freezing brings + founders often need more years of company building before we can stop & start families.

If you like it, I hope you share it with a founder. If you don't like it, well, be nice about it.
Arizona, Nevada, and Utah have quite a bit of area for solar PV. It’s fine for California to import from there as long as they use their leverage to force a move away from coal now, and natural gas later. Clean hydro from the PNW is no different than PJM and NYISO grids importing clean nuclear and hydro from Ontario, Canada (which they do).
Yes and no. There are desktop computers with laptop chips and laptop chips are much closer to desktop than to a phone for example
Nothing. I'd pay directly. And I do with many sites. But I will block anything else.

Here is a "theorem" I learned: every number up to 100 which looks prime, is prime, except 91. Does anyone recall its name?
Quite possible. The number of packages in the main arch repos is a lot smaller than the number in Debian/Ubuntu. I would imagine the kind of people you're talking about are leaning on the AUR or packages found by default (and thus more heavily tested) in Debian/Ubuntu.
> i can't imagine surviving something like a famine or civil war in the modern world. and it doesn't look like that kind of risk is growing smaller.

I don't think anybody studying the history of civil wars or famine believe that that is likely to happen.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/civil-war-united-stat...

Besides, even if you talk to people who lived through wars or famines, few of them wish they hadn't been born. People find happiness and meaning everywhere. From interviews I have read, people living through wars find their lives more meaningful rather than less.

> could you stand to live in a total police state, even if you're safe (from the outside) and relatively wealthy (compared to a refugee)?

Probably. But I don't think anything like that is likely. I think there will be fewer police states in the future.

It's odd how people living in poorer and less well-managed countries are much more optimistic about the future than people living in the West.

I wonder if it's just spending too much time on social media and too little time reading history books that make people so pessimistic...
Most first person shooter PC games, sure, but there are thousands of PC games that assume you have a mouse and a keyboard. Point and click adventures, that sort of thing.
Higher capacity is often faster by reading from more underlying chips (or layers?) in parallel.
I don't think so. Remember any other interesting numbers list you needed to memorize?
Nix's existing support for Steam is pretty reliable as it is. Using Nix to distribute Steam would be awesome!

I'm not sure how ready Valve would be to require not only their own game distribution mechamisms but a whole package manager, but Nix + NixGL would be a very reliable and low-overhead way to get cross-platform support and to make it easy for games that might depend on extra libraries or specific versions of them.
> then capture the vast majority of it in the process

No they don't. I buy things when I get more than my money is worth. So does everyone else. It's how trade works. Businesses are not extracting wealth from me or you.
When I forward, I don’t change the FROM address, I keep it intact.

It’s not a literal email forward with “FWD:” in the subject line.

It just replaces the To: and sends it to the new address.

Maybe you have your forwarding set up incorrectly, but with the forwarding I set up through cpanel, this isn’t an issue.

This is one of the funny things about the email spec is that the FROM field can be set to anything, so it’s really handy for forwarding.
This feels, to me, like the complaint of someone with a general technical grounding going into a narrow specialization and discovering they understand none of the terminology.

This is exactly how I felt when I was learning Haskell and hearing about eta conversions and pointfreeness and so on. Each new bit of terminology had a precise definition, but specialists writing primarily for one another were not inclined to offer definitions each time. They didn't need them and neither did their anticipated audience. I had to learn the terminology and jargon so I could understand what they were talking about, and high-level abstracted explanations were not going to be enough to participate usefully. I had to learn the basics.

Similarly, Watson & Crick's seminal paper might not have been the best of all possible times to stop and define an X-ray or how crystallography worked.

So yes, just instantiate the metaclass, implement the interface, and go buy milk. Easy. You just have to learn what each of those things actually means, especially if the details might be important (and in cryptography, that's always the case).
> My point is that there is no reason to assume that we've reached the limits of reuse in such a short period of time, so it doesn't seem that aggressive to assume that there is room to improve by ~10x

There's an enormous gulf between asserting this and the engineering to realize it. Maybe Raptor isn't as reliable as they hope. Maybe 3mm steel is too delicate so they have to stay with 4mm which makes them overweight. Maybe the thermal protection system is too fragile or doesn't provide enough protection. Maybe their novel alloy can't meet its targets. Maybe the tower catch won't work so they need legs which will add too much weight. Etc, etc.

All of those are extremely nontrivial issues, there's a lot of risk because of how ambitious what they are attempting is. I hope they succeed.
I think you may be misunderstanding my position. To be clear, the original company owned the functionality they were purchasing. They needed software that did X, Y and Z. A lot of the code that went into it was code that I had already written for other purposes, including my own projects. They never owned that. They then sold the company as if they owned it - i.e. as if the purchaser would have free access to the source to repackage as they liked. I had no such contract with the original company, much less the buyer.

I should also clarify that this was a PHP backend that was handed over freely, and a public-facing Flash app that was handed over as an SWF. At heart it was a highly specialized video / social platform. Graphics assets were handed over. What was not handed over were the front-end AS3 scripts; and I used a few hex editing methods and other ways to trap the compiled bytecode that would crash all known SWF decompilers. I also had it phone home if someone tried to decompile it. (All those decompilers would start by importing the SWF onto the root object of another SWF; root detects a higher parent; kaboom).

What those guys did, and what the other company tried to do to me, was unethical. I didn't even have the right to sell them exclusive use of some of that source, because it was already deployed in other commercial projects. I didn't have the right to sell it out from under the other companies who already had paid for use of it. My refusal to sign [Fortune 500 company's] contract was on their behalf as well as my own. That company wouldn't listen to reason, so I left them a working binary and said "good luck", and then watched it keep phoning home until they gave up trying to decompile it.

Also, I've never prevented an honest customer from accessing source code they needed, and in this case I was willing to negotiate a non-exclusive use of the source code with the new company, for a fair price. But they refused that. They demanded sole ownership for $0, and they wanted to pay me half my rate for consulting. Not to mention they themselves are one of the most blatantly unethical companies in the world. I didn't feel like I owed them anything.
When I built a new PC a couple months ago, my first OS on it was Manjaro - coming only from an Ubuntu/debian background. Linux has its limits but the experience is pretty seamless.
Why is it reasonable to only do shared secret generation once in awhile? What's the win to doing that? The win to not doing it is that it narrows the blast radius of a single key compromise to a small number of messages (or, in full ratchets, to a single message). Why would I ever, ever want to increase the blast radius of a key?

Then make room for 5000 in every city, and do it with a federal program so individual cities don't have the incentive to cut back on it. Homelessness is a national problem and demands a national solution. The federal government has no problem creating trillions of dollars to prop up the financial system and fight endless wars. It can spare a few billion to get people off the streets and under roofs.
Several decades is too long, if you believe the current projections. Too much damage will have been done. I would guess that the taxes need to phase in within a decade.

Unfortunately, I generally find that NVC comes off as patronizing in almost all circumstances where there is real conflict that has consequences.

"I understand that you're feeling <X> because I did <Y>." generally comes off as "I disagree and I'm dismissing you." It's in the same class as "We're just going to have to agree to disagree." which is simply a polite "Fuck off and deal."

If I'm angry and tell you "You did <Y> and that made me angry. Give me a good reason why you did that or don't do <Y> again." I better hear "I'm sorry. I won't do <Y> again." or "I thought I had good reason <Z> to do <Y>." We probably are going to get into a discussion about whether <Z> is a good reason, and it may be heated. That's life.

If I hear "I'm sorry you're angry" you've probably just ratcheted my angry up a notch. In addition, I've now placed you in the "passive aggressive" category and will now deal with you as if that is your default stance--ie backstabbing manipulator.

My first reaction/two cents is that while this seems really cool, PC games are mostly set apart from console games in that they’re often designed with keyboards in mind, as part of the core experience (similar to how motion controls were core to the Wii).

PC games that don’t need a keyboard/aren’t designed with a keyboard as a core input are already available on most consoles (e.g. many Steam games with controller support are already on the Switch).

Not saying this won’t work out — I think it will likely do fine.

But I don’t think this was meant for the more hardcore PC gamer, and a lot of controller-only gamers are likely fine with consoles (and for their portable fix, the Switch). So there’s a pretty niche set of gamers this will attract.
