It's not at all arbitrary. My starting position is that I want to be free of pain/suffering and I want to be able to pursue my desires and preferences. I take those as inherently good. I apply those internal truths to other living beings.

Plants, bacteria, etc don't feel pain, although they might have preferences for food, etc. Those beings, then, are not especially relevant to our ethical obligations viz a viz the experience of suffering.

A fish feels pain and exhibits distinct preferences. Therefore, we are obligated to respect its life by virtue of the inherent good of painlessness and autonomy. It is immoral to kill any living creature that fits that framework.

Finally, this does not mean that our moral obligations are cemented here. We may eventually learn that other living things have properties that require us to expand the scope of our ethical duties.
High end isn't needed. Simply a marginal improvement and CCP comes out ahead. In the performance per watt per cost calculation, the cost factor has no lower bound. Cost can be subsidized to near zero like many other industries under their control.

We're talking about instruction sets with ARM, correct? It's not anywhere near the level of investment as next generation litho tech for a chip foundry?

I don't underestimate the ability to innovate. Stolen tech can be improved just as well as in-house R&D'd tech.
>There's a lot of ignorance in some of the threads here,

Not just this thread, but on HN. Hardware and their business model is a thing where signal to noise ratio is extremely low on HN.

If it wasn't because of a few working in ASML, ARM, embedded programming adding some immense value of input to balance things out, Hardware on HN is no different to any other forum on the internet.
Do BEVs still use a 12V lead acid battery?
You are confusing cause and effect. Prices go up over time as measured in fiat because of monetary inflation (i.e. money printing) by the Fed which dilutes the purchasing power of the dollar. M2 monetary supply inflation coupled with the velocity of money causes CPI to increase, not the other way around.

70% of all the dollars ever created were created since the invention of Bitcoin. Please substantiate your claim that Austrian economics has been debunked (in favor of modern monetary theory I suppose?) From my perspective, Austrian economics is proving itself more and more each day.

I would love to hear your explanation of how a nation can inflate it’s money supply by 40% in a year without affecting inflation.
My wife wrote a book about this [0], which is a bestseller in our country and she gives a lot of talks and workshops (individuals/companies) where she found this indeed to be true. Once over the first barrier, people can pretty rapidly sink into personal and sensitive subjects. Often things you think; should you be saying this to me?

Quite a good read. Development in the world of eyeglasses seems as slow then as it is now. There are no major innovations in eyeglasses, probably due to the monopoly by luxottica.

Eyeglasses today have pretty much leveled out at slim lenses with blue light filter. Admittedly, they're pretty nice (Cryzal in particular). The best frames I have seen let you drop in different sets of lenses (oakley switch series).

Without any in-depth knowledge into painting - my understanding from the article is that this is mostly about two-tone (or more) painting. When you use a masking tape, you overspray and some of it goes onto the tape. If it's an intricate pattern, there's a lost of masking going on. With this method, you reduce/remove the need for masking and spraying over the tape, therefore reducing paint waste.

> they have turned education into a positional good

Positional goods are highly valued not just for their scarcity but also because they convey a high relative standing within society. The term "high relative standing" is just a fancy way of saying "merit".

Kudos to the author(s), this article really is a nice written technical introduction, it has all the bases covered for such writing:

* it explains in plain English what Nix is.

* it provides additional resources

* it has hands-on, guided, deliverable, tutorial.
Mostly Trimble Navigation Ltd. gear. They're built like tanks and well past IP67 because they're also used in mines on enormous equipment.

Disclaimer: I used to work on the TRIMMARK and TRIMCOMM series firmware in the radio group. With kinematic (moving differential-capable) corrections plus a fixed base station, horizontal accuracy is sub cm (10 mm) and vertical is sub meter. Two receivers, one on either side of the vehicle, can be used to accurately guide the side-to-side angle of plowing, grading, or other activities.
How much hardware does this require on a country level to basically run everything through a proxy? Seems quite a lot.

I ship to Switzerland (for one) from the US. Never lost a shipment and delay is about one week. This is including this past year, when other shipments to other countries were delayed (though not lost). Completely understand it may work differently in reverse but just wanted to put a data point out there.
GP wasn’t stating that a larger stock of cash is definitively not a parameter of inflation, but that it is not the only parameter.

As to your question about the other factors, here’s a thought experiment: if I printed cash daily but locked it up in a chest and sunk it to the bottom of the sea, will there be inflation? Going one step further: does inflation depend on the distribution of liquidity in the economy?
Surely $100K+ SUVs are at the top of their production lists? My understanding is that the lower the price, the sooner the shortages hit a car.
Once I wanted a role change. I worked on it with my manager, tried to pick up work related to the new role, set career plans, all that stuff, for months. Couldn't quite get it done because I always wound up paying more attention to the duties of my current role than the one I wanted.

Interviewed with a different group for the role I wanted and got it with a few hours of interviews. It was absolutely not the case that I learned anything relevant from my experience trying to switch roles on my current team. It absolutely was the case that the 3-4 hours of interviewing (plus luck of the draw on my interviewers and their questions) meant way more to my career than months of planning and effort.
Agreed. For starters population growth is part of the equation.

Consider the following scenario. There are 10 people in the world, and $100. So all being equal [1] each has $10 to spend. (Remember "money" is just a useful way of measuring accumulated social value.)

Fast forward a few years, now there are 100 people, all creating social value. To maintain the status quo the money supply must now be $1000. 0% inflation as the money supply per person is still $10.

[1] now imagine that all things are not equal. Some people add more social value than they consume. Ie their accumulated $ grows. In effect some number of $ are no longer in circulation. So more money has to be added to the supply to compensate.

Equally some company or individual may move money out of the economy and store it externally. Think cash under a matrass, or sitting in a Bahamas bank account. That money can (and must) be replaced in the system or the system will fail.

So the increase of money supply, taken as a measure by itself, is a meaningless number.

I was a big Tintin fan as a kid, too, so this is super nostalgic. Looking back on it as an adult, I wonder if this style was a product of the time— for example, Disney's Snow White (1937) has a very similar approach, with flat cel-based animation on top of lush, realistic, painted backgrounds.
On one hand, the retirement of the prior generation of nuclear power plants opens the door for deployment of next-generation reactor designs. On the other, we are at real risk of losing the on-the-ground technical expertise required to run one. I think nuclear remains a valuable technology for power generation in a carbon-free manner, providing the steady production that can offer stability to back up the more volatile types such as wind and solar. Small footprint from a square-foot standpoint too. Should be an ongoing engineering project. Yes there are waste downsides but those are not insurmountable in the grand scheme of things.
Well no, blockchain plus consensus algorithm does what you’re describing.
This is something governments are ignoring en masse when they build their digital identities and data exchanges. Nobody gets on your bandwagon unless there’s already people on it. And even if you make adoption mandatory, the usage will take time to ramp up so you need to suffer through years of mockery of your compulsive device being useless. But there’s no other way to get there.
3 months ago I had a massive, overgrown 7 foot rosemary bush in my backyard drastically cut down to about 3.5 feet. It was so tall it was crushing itself under its own weight.

One summer later and it’s back to around 5 feet. Also in SoCal, it gets watered maybe once a month, if that (whenever I remember). I _wish_ I could stop it.
I doubt “forget” as much as a difficult truth no one wants to think about.
You worded this completely correct. This exactly describes a lot of my social behaviours for years pre-covid.

It is absolutely amazing to go into a conversation as the person you want to be and gain what you want from it.

In the best case scenario, you are able to realize new aspects about yourself.

In the worst case scenario, you are able to express your thoughts with no repercussions, ala Fight Club's "single-serving friends".
Yes, I see I messed up. These types of conversations are so rare here that I didn't stop to think of how my comment would unnecessarily increase divisiveness. I could have conveyed my good faith intent in a more intellectually curious way.

The quality of the conversations that your work fosters makes HN a bastion of authentic and thoughtful interactions amongst strangers. Thanks for what you do dang. I'll try to do better.
That is true, but I think this is the case for all the ARM cores. I didn't spot a scheduler for Cortex-A73, for example.
There are numerous online video reviews on YouTube. Goodereader is recommended.

https://youtube.com/results?search_query=comparison+remarkab...

Major differences:

- BOOX devices range in size from 6" -- 13.3". reMarkable is available only in 10.3". (Sizes and characteristics of displays are defined by Eink.com, the display vendor who have a patent monopoly.)

- BOOX offers a colour model, the Nova 3, 7.8".

- BOOX are Android tablets with eink screens. Remarkable is a custom Linux device. BOOX has a larger available application set.

- Both devices offer a Linux userland, reMarkable via SSH, BOOX through Termux (installable via F-Droid). There's a reMarkable hacker community.

- Storage is a major differeniator. reMarkable has only 16 GB total (OS, system, documents, sketches), BOOX offers 32 & 64 GB on current devices.

- BOOX offers a frontlight, reMarkable does not.

- Reports are that the reMarkable has a slightly more natural "paperlike" feel, and a thinner display surface. I can't compare the two, though I find the BOOX acceptable. There's a slight depth (and parallax offset) in pen registration at times, which I understand is due to additional layers (mostly frontlight?) on the display itself. Given that the display is from the same underlying vendor, this is likely a finishing consideration.

- BOOX offers Bluetooth support (including keyboard), reMarkable can be wired for a keyboard but that takes some work AFAIU.

- reMarkable is marketed as a distraction-free device with fairly minimal connectivity, and no apps or web browser. The BOOX is an Android tablet, and all your personal demons may be found there, though robbed of vibrant colours. Both do have WiFi. Depending on how you feel about distractions and your ability to resist temptations, this may be a concern.

- Onyx BOOX is not GPL compliant.

I'd looked at the features and settled on the BOOX. I'm pretty happy with it. Storage was my major consideration. Though not an Android fan, the availability of some key apps was also a major point.
That's great news. Crazy how long it has taken them to fix it though.
I was watching a podcast interview of one of the founders of Wikipedia. He was describing the effects of creeping control over Wikipedia and the definitive ideological narrative being set on the internet through Wikipedia. It is a very interesting interview but the thing that most surprised me is that he talks about how he has a personal server to host his website.

Of all the things he said, I found that simple idea to be the most surprising. The internet is already being dominated by a handful of cloud providers, few domain registers and select social media.

It is damn difficult to go against the tide and even though we are falling off a cliff.
> Hollywood production companies

I don’t disagree that messaging in the US about Covid could have been improved. But I think there’s a reasonable chunk of the population that would assume malicious intent (or at least political intent) in anything coming out of Hollywood. And there might be a fair amount of overlap with folks currently hesitant or outright refusing the vaccine.

I’d be interested in a historian’s take on messaging re: Covid in comparison with messaging re: polio or the like. I think there will be a lot of scholarship in sociology and public health about Covid in the years to come.
Some people just work for money. Alternately, in some organizations you can work as hard as you want but be prohibited from doing a great job. e.g. If the product design is fundamentally flawed and you can't convince people of that you might not feel like doing a great job.

Suppose you're working on a 5 year old project that has a small and dwindling user base, the only contact you get from users is complaints and requests for features that are strictly forbidden by legal. The UI is incomprehensible to users and product management keeps trying to make it more complicated or add features that won't be useful. Would you be focused on doing a great job, or just putting in time while you looked for something else and played Ping Pong?

> What the article actually says: The increase in drug usage (and therefore deaths) is largely because of the stresses caused by the Covid pandemic.

Perhaps what they really meant is "because of the unnecessary government-imposed lockdowns"?

Did they mean "the number of people who also had Covid-19 when they died"?
This comes to me in right time. I recently witnessed a small miracle. There is a dragontree of quite concider able age. Its long mostly leafless branches showing that it has had chaotic life. I got it from friend who rented next door and placed it into small corridor. And then at one point I forgot about it and in the spring sometime it dropped off all leaves. I concidered it as dead. I was really frustrated -- I've killed a creature with my carelessness.

It was like this for months. And since it was quiet corner of a corridor, I forgot it again, let it sink to me and from time to time remind me to become better. I pushed away dealing with it, since my own carelessness was thrown at me and it bit as pain. Until a day, when I saw green leaves popping out of it's tips of branches again -- it's alive. I'm still not sure how it got to life again, since I didn't water it. Maybe the heat of the summer, and it was much heat, and little moisture from air. But it was my salvation.

I need to find the best place and right soil for this honorable plant and of course learn to water it. So this piece of information falls into right soil. Thank you for sharing :)
I can never tell if this is just me or we have grown more jaded as a culture (maybe both). My drive for personal side projects has dwindled to nothing in the last two years. Also my optimism and enthusiasm around projects like self-driving cars, longevity drugs, and space-flight is gone as well. It is probably part of aging and a general shift in our society.

x86 apps with JITs can run [1]. For instance I remember initially Chrome didn't have a native version, and the performance was poor because the JITted javascript had to be translated at runtime.

A Harvard legacy/donor/child-of-famous-person admission gets the same amount of prestige (and the same amount of "high relative standing") as someone that got there by virtue of their intelligence and competence.

The former isn't meritocratic but the latter is, and it's this distinction that shows why it's a mistake to conflate "high relative standing" with "merit".
I guess this could also catalyze the switch to EVs as they have quite different requirements.
How to level up in product with the Jobs Tree
Somewhat related, in high school I took a photography class and on the first dark room day, we got paired randomly with someone else in the class to practice taking film out of the canister and a few other dark room things. The person I got paired with and I were from very different circles and would never have exchanged words if it wasn’t for this exercise.

We were only in that room for 15-20 minutes, but I had some of the deepest most genuine conversation I’ve ever had in that sort period of time. After we left the room, we never spoke again. Something about the safety of blindness made us feel comfortable with each other.

If I had instead struck up an AIM chat or a phone call with this person, I guarantee the conversation topics would have been very different. The physical presence, our actual voices, the absence of light…something about that combination made the experience quite profound for my young self.

What the hell is wrong with hell?

Facetious of course, but genuinely curious why hell is a problem?
Not that it is definitive proof, but these same alarm bells were going off when we drastically increased the money supply to combat the financial crisis in 2008. And inflation never happened.

The reason we aren't, at least for now, likely to see serious inflation due to the recent increase in money supply is because most of it entered the economy through the Fed's bond buying program. So the bonds went on the Fed's balance sheet and most of the money used to purchase those bonds went back on deposit with the fed.

Those bonds will either reach maturity or the fed will sell them - at which point the fed can erase that from the money supply.

But, as the other poster said, the simplified version is that money supply doesn't matter if it's not actually in circulation and being used.

>As wbazant wrote, hacking has originally started as describing computer crime.

no they said it has been used for a while now, not was originally used. The problem is that both uses have existed concurrently and it can be annoying to people who believe themselves to be a member of the non-criminal set of hackers. It can also be annoying when you can't tell from context what it should mean, I guess being on HN I kept thinking - but it should be "Is Agriculture the next struggle for Hacking?" because I didn't think the criminal usage would prevail here.
My grandfather was a Painter and as a kid he would hand me a panel of Calvin and Hobbes or Tintin to copy while he was working. It really gave me an appreciation for what simplicity could do.
What Bill Waterson or Herge did with a simple line here or an addition of two dots there to change a facial expression or add movement to scene was like magic to me as a kid. And my grandfather used to say the longer you look at something the easier it gets to compress all the information of a complex world into a few dots.
Basically these artists brains were running highly optimized compression algos.
MacBooks have a great form factor (that's just a personal preference, but I believe that most people like it), including keyboard (except a butterfly one), hardware actually works (bluetooth, wifi, sleep), and OS is more consistent and less buggy than Windows from XP/Vista days.

POSIX is not properly implemented, but that doesn't matter to the majority of developers. macOS shell feels like using Linux, with some differences, and mostly used developer toolchain work as expected (RoR, Python, Nodejs, .NET, PHP, etc.)

Similarly with microcontrollers, most Linux tools and toolchains (for AVR, ESP32, ARM) just work out of the box, and can be easily installed via brew. Whereas on Windows you either have native builds for Win32 (which are harder to acquire and you cannot easily script them with bash), or you need to run a Linux VM, since WSL2 doesn't support USB passthrough.
I see, thanks. I suppose that is in contrast to consumers, those who e.g. watch movies and read news.
