Sorry I can't disclose what the patent is covering for now, but I can say it's mainly about the IP. Are you planning to use hTime? I'm happy to chat about it if you like to.
There's also some youtube stuff. Here an interview on similar questions to the article: https://youtu.be/bkiPNMbeOH0
It sounds like you could have a narrower idea of what utility is than I do. For me, this is really about definitions relative to systems and those systems serving out goals. That's where utility comes in: Whether something is true or not depends on the system in which we judge it (i.e. relativism) and what system we use will depend on our goal. Our goals obviously depend on what we like and want, so axiology is clearly the root here.

You'll run into this immediately when you study logics and find out that different ones can prove different theorems thus they have varying use cases, similar to the way programming languages do. If you want to predict the future, science is the tool you want but if you want to court someone then maybe poetry is your tool.

It's not that anything has to be useful, it's just that analyzing concepts in terms of utility can clarify what we mean and illuminate the criteria necessary to decide certain questions.

I agree with your second-to-last paragraph. Everyone wants what they study to be proven to be "real." It protects the prestige of the field. I always figure there's a conflict of interest going on when you find most mathematicians are Platonists but this unanimity doesn't carry over into philosophy where careers and social lives don't ride on that result [1]. I hope my previous paragraphs clarified when I think the layperson should trust the mathematician.

That's where I think there's hope for a third option. Where I grew up there were a lot of Sears catalog homes, and they were really nice. Those were all manufactured and are a whole lot more beautiful than a builder grade home today.
What are we supposed to take away from that? I realize they are right-leaning but every news source has its own biases and every news source has examples of good/bad/truthful/misleading journalism. I feel like the best we can do is to read a diversity of viewpoints and form an opinion.
Or "texting while driving" behavior.
Could you give me an example of meaningful insight of what math is that relies on such ontological discussions? Since my issue is not with ontological debates as such but rather ontological questions formulated in a manner which is impossible to meaningfully answer. I think we can learn great things about mathematics (and world) by looking how people do math, or how people speak about math, but asking what math is seems to me to be a way of framing that instead of providing insights is dividing people into camps based on aesthetic preferences.
The 10-core (8 performance) M1 Max starts around $2700 in the 14" form factor.

It's hard to compare to laptops, but since we started the desktop comparison, a Ryzen 7 5800X is $450 MSRP, or about $370 current street price. Motherboards can be found for $100, but you'll more likely spend $220-250 for a good match. 32GB RAM is $150, 1TB Samsung 980 Pro is a bit under $200. Let's assume desktop RTX 3060 for the graphics (which is probably slightly more powerful than the 32-core GPU M1 Max) for MSRP $330 but street price over $700.

So we're at about $1670 for the components, before adding in case ($100), power supply ($100) and other things a laptop includes (screen, keyboard...).
Why didn't Python 3 kill off Python in the same way?
The A15 chips has core improvements, I suspect this is what we’ll see every year from now on 15-20% performance increase yearly for the next few years assuming no issues with TSMC…
Good points. Though I'm a bit confused by your reply. Are you saying that LineageOS folks do not always or, at least, mostly use the latest AOSP common kernels for their relevant ROMs (as opposed to "some open source kernel fixes")?
> - A transactional view of life and relationships.

Is the irony not lost on you making such a statement on post about prostitution?

A "sex worker" is just a euphemism for a whore. You know what they say about lipsticks and pigs.

> that most sex work is done in desperation, that our society doesn't give everyone even close to a level playing field.

Cry me a river. That is such a lame copout. Not all of these prostitutes are desperate, and even the ones that are make a better living than some software engineers. You are telling me that a person can't find any job other than selling their own body??? What would you tell all the other women making minimum wage? Should they all become whores too?

My whole point was that desperate men don't even have the same luxury of such a fallback "job", so your statement is rather ironic.

> - Some comments showing veiled resentment that they have to pay a woman for sex, that women have it easier, that men are the unlucky ones, the oppressed ones.

Well, is it not true? In the sexual marketplace getting sex for women is effortless, and for men it takes all the effort in the world.
Just a side note... as a CS nerd and a software engineer with 15+ years of professional experience, environment setup is still one of the hardest parts for me, especially if I'm picking up a new tech stack.
We've lost all sense of aesthetics as something that exists outside an individual's mind. Aesthetics used to be an independent study of philosophers for millenia, until our modern age decided that all aesthetics are equally good. This fundamentally has to do with the embrace of relativism at all levels of society.

This is going to be controversial, but in the west, the ultimate cause of the decline in objective beauty is a rejection of Christianity, which, for millenia in the west, has insisted that there is such a thing as objective beauty.

https://www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/ugly-as-sin

I'd also recommend "The Abolition of Man" by CS Lewis (not explicitly christian, but Lewis was obviously extremely devout and a major apologist)

It remains to be seen if the west will develop a sense of objective beauty without a shared moral system.
Keeping more complicated stuff in ports rather than base means users can easily get the exact version they wany so FreeBSD tries to keep base as explicitly a base system.

It's a tradeoff but one I find more useful than not.
I've yet to hear anybody argue that corporate corruption means that corporations no longer serve a purpose.
Awk's BEGIN blocks are not parsed separately from the rest of the program. Awk's Yacc-based implementations (like the original One True Awk and GNU Awk) parse the entire input in a single call to yyparse() before executing anything.

Therefore, I suspect it is not possible to write a test in the BEGIN block which avoids a version-dependent syntax error elsewhere in favor of terminating with a graceful error.
Google's numbers are based on previous quarters, not Q3. 147 is based on today's results and stock price.

And Tesla's income is growing fast so P/E is dropping at the same speed (the share price has remained stable since early 2021).

Compared to Tesla, Toyota is stagnating. Their battery technology is outdated and they invest almost nothing in BEV. They're still making a full bet on PHEV and hydrogen light vehicles. For now, Toyota simply cannot compete in BEV. They won't have the batteries and/or the materials (lithium / nickel), and every year they do nothing, Tesla, VW and others are securing multi year procurement deals.

Also, it would take years of great EV sales for Toyota to be able to outpace Tesla's battery purchasing power. And Tesla is making their own cells so they're not even playing the same game.
While MVG does a good video production job, he tends to get a lot of information wrong [1] and never corrects it after he's told [2]. Don't get me wrong, he's done very good videos in the past, but I wish he would take better care of his content.

No one seem to be discussion where TPM will lead. I guess because HN follows Twitter rather than understanding technical things.

TPM makes your computer unique (Used by Valorant for banning). Why will browsers not use this? It will help with banking. It will stop you creating another account on HN without buying a new computer. Extreme Tech mentions DRM

TPM is important and will become ubiquitous in some form, skipping the conspiracies(true or not) about the NSA and more fundamental ideas about owing things, where will this practically lead?
Bitcoin? ;)
You're welcome and good luck!
At worst, wait until they release these in the iMac Pro and maybe even the Mac Mini. Both easily have the headroom for these chips.
That separate mode is incremental search and it's a big advantage. It lets you keep extending the search string until it matches the command you're looking for.
The floor plan thing is real. A 1960s-1970s split level will have 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a huge living room, a good size dining room, and a kitchen, all around 1800sqft.

Or, you can buy a new 2500 sqft home that has the same, plus a walk in closet in the master.

Heck I've seen plenty of 3000sqft 3 bedroom homes!

It is insane. Sure these new floor plans have 2 dining rooms, a breakfast nook, a living room, and a family room, but that is also monumentally stupid.

I've talked to new home builders and they have said that due to the demand of immigrant buyers for more bedrooms, they are now starting to make some 4+ bedroom houses at 3500sqft and above. Like... what? If you want a 5 bedroom house from the 70s you'll be out less than 2500 sqft, and that will be a very generous and spacious house.

I just don't get it. Modern floor plans are asinine. Builders will reply "Well it is what buyers want", sure, but your pool of surveyed buyers is limited to people who can afford a 1.5 million dollar 4 bedroom house[1]!

I do sort of get it, because land is such a huge portion of the overall house price, builders are basically stuck making high end "luxury" housing (never mind that the quality is very far from luxury) at high prices. If a plot of land costs $500k+, no way is anything resembling reasonable housing going to be built.

Oh this also contributes to why people are having less kids. If an extra bedroom costs $200k or so, of course no one is going to have more than 1 baby.

Disclaimer: Above rant is only applicable to large coastal cities.

[1] I've talked to people in this pool, a majority of them are also wondering why the hell they are forced to purchase a house with 2 dining rooms.
It's more than embarrassing, it's in my opinion kind of crazy. Zuckerberg seems to be obsessed with "governing people" and "leadership", he mentions this in almost every interview. He really seems to believe that he's "governing people" on Facebook and that there will be even more governing to do in the "metaverse."

I'm not blaming him personally, he might just have happened to have surrounded himself with a few too many people who lost touch with reality, but the metaverse and these plans to "govern people" seems to have gotten to his head. He sounds more and more like a lunatic.

Not enough people are interested in virtual reality and even less people are going to be interested in one based on Facebook's arbitrary and vague rules (aka "governing people") and their algorithmic discrimination. Not to forget about actual governments who will also have a few things to say about some aspects of the planned metaverse such as its economy and payment systems.
Seems to me like the two numbers that matter are:

Mean time from docking to last container being outside of port property

Mean cost per TEU
Has that reaction ever resulted in the other party fixing their system in a timely manner?
> They require that anyone who works there has to be a member of the union and if they don't like what's going on the entire union refuses to work and to allow anyone else to work.

Good for them.
"The right thing" for filesystem entries is transparently copy, do not evaluate. A file path is a mem-copied, length value sized block of identifier you don't ever mangle. If you must mangle it, touch only the necessary areas as directed. (E.G. join with os.pathsep and do not normalize anything).

Want to offer Unicode validation? Sure having that as an OPTION is fine. Forcing it means I can't rely on that tool to handle real world data which happens to not be valid but is still a valid file-system address.
Thanks - some very good points. Presumably this opens the possibility of higher single core performance on a future desktop design unless limited by pipeline length etc?
Great resource! I usually use pangrams (holoalphabetic sentences like "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog") to ensure that my code can handle all the alphabet characters for the languages that should be supported at the very minimum.
For sure, but in practical terms these types of dealings often have middle men and the end buyer is often not known (by design). Everything I know is from podcasts and books, so I'm not an authority on the subject - though I would point out that the enormous amount of red tape in the west tends to be something that westerners seem to project onto the rest of the world. In much of the world, things are just far more loose.
I don't think this dichotomy is necessary. Management are workers - they have the same goal as everyone else, making money. The distinction you intend to make is people who have a stake in the company vs. people who do not. If all employees held equity/stocks or had substantial participation in company decisions (be it through a vote, or through an elected representative), then collective bargaining would organically arise as part of the organizational structure.
The example in the article was a case where information was being hidden. There was a mismatch between content and tone "Everything's fine!" [I know everything is not fine]. Humans can already pick on a mismatch between content and tone. We call it intuition. The things that trigger intuition are quantifiable. Using Machine Learning to systematize things we already do is pretty sane and reasonable.
I'll do that next time! You are right, I haven't actually tried competitor pure EVs except the BMW 118i and i3 way back in like 2014.
Got it, will do in the next couple of days. Thanks for the suggestion.
Buried in the article is an important point: people care a lot about interior and not much about exterior appearance. Typical cookie-cutter suburban neighborhoods are built assuming nobody walks around in them anyway. On the inside these houses are pretty deluxe, though.

Also, in the US it's very difficult to build a house out of solid wood like my house from 40s. New materials might not look as nice but are less wasteful, more energie efficient and faster to build with.

Finally, people do come to new neighborhoods, e.g. in Portland the newish neighborhoods like Pearl District are successful in the sense that they are new, high density and mixed shopping/dining/living. Not for low income though.
I don't want to repeat myself here so I'll link a previous comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28094051

The tl;dr is that while you have to learn a few more symbols, the benefit of that is they're so composable you don't have to learn anywhere near as many keywords, because they can be defined in just a few characters.
> So what is the point of such debate?

This is an incredibly parochial point of view.

Kant's seminal "existence is not a predicate" argument has had a foundational impact after he put the rationalist vs. empiricist debate to rest. In fact, it's extremely deep, arguing that the P in ∃xPx can't be "exists." Modal logicians have tried to come up with more clever ways of circumventing this, e.g. E(t) := ∃x(x=t)—although this isn't entirely non-problematic, either.

For that matter, the question of anything existing is profoundly human, so asking "what is the point" kind of misses the point.
It's hardly unheard of for a Mac to pick up weird issues. My wife's Macbook has a thing where the mouse cursor will just disappear when she wakes the thing up from sleep. Poking around on the internet finds other people with the same problem and no good solution (zapping PRAM doesn't help, neither did a full OS reinstall). It's just a live with it affair. The only fix is to close the lid and open it again, which isn't too bad but the issue crops up multiple times in a day and is quite annoying.

I manage a bunch of Ubuntu desktops at work and the most common issue seems to be that if you leave a machine alone for too long (a week or two), then when you log back in the DBUS or something seems to get hung up and the whole interface is mostly unusable until you log out and log back in. It can be so bad you can't even focus a window anymore or change the input focus. Next most common issue is DKMS randomly fucking up and installing a kernel without the nVidia or VirtualBox modules leaving the machine useless.
The fact that this beats AMDs top laptop CPU is actually a huge deal. And that's before considering battery life and thermals.

I'll never buy an Apple computer, but I can't help but be impressed with what they've achieved here.
Oh yeah, I thought the whole VM thing was implied with the fact that Docker is a Linux technology...
It was mostly sarcasm. I just don't like the argument that it's regulatory capture because it's fallacious to blame capture when you refuse to compete. This also ignores the fact that there is competition between existing ports. Outlawing unions would just be another form of regulatory capture anyways.

A lot of this made my eyes roll; but there's a lot of footage I haven't seen before.

The libra fiasco should make anyone wonder if Fb is going to be able to sell the public on a big new project. At this point it feels like users tolerate Fb purely due to the network effects they have.

If Python simply parsed and evaluated top-level expressions one by one, you could test the value of some version variable and act accordingly. Like for this range of versions, load this file, otherwise load that one.

If I think of this problem in a Lisp frame, it does not scream "use macros" at me.
"Modeled on" doesn't mean singularly Rome. It just means that Rome was one of the models.
I wouldn't be surprised if that was for a specific reason, like somehow showing up better somewhere for some reason, or something like that. Or maybe not; who knows...
How about people who, for one reason or another, can't get vaccinated for medical reasons?

Sure, in any reasonable system, they would be exempt from the requirement. But were they? If not, they almost certainly have legitimate grounds for a suit.

And it doesn't have to be a discrimination suit. It can be a suit alleging, for example, unreasonable requirements for employment. (Do you have to be vaccinated for measles to be employed by Washington? How about influenza? If not, then what's the rationale for requiring Covid and not the others?)
Semantic search on the cheap: For the runtime performance aware developer
I doubt it. The distances are simply too large to maintain a supply lines needed for a self sufficient colonies to thrive. The Norse needed the natives both to trade with and to learn from if they were to settle these lands, they couldn’t do it on their own.

Now you might think of Iceland and Norse Greenland as a counter example. But Norse Greenland never really thrived, and was eventually abandoned. Iceland however thrived, but it is so much closer to Norway about 7 days at see with the potential to stop at the Faeroe Islands.

The voyage between Greenland and Iceland is similar (only a bit longer + sailing up the west coast of Greenland). And finally you need another week or two to cross the Labrador sea from Greenland. However that route is much harder in the winter then between Iceland and Norway, and Greenland is not nearly as populated as Iceland or Norway and don’t generate enough surplus food which they can supply to a potential colonies on the North American mainland.

So the logistics of supplying a colony in North America without help from the people already living there must include a summertime only supply line from Iceland with enough supplies to last the whole year. Where each voyage from Iceland is going take maybe a month, maybe more, just one way. These ships are still pretty small and not a lot of room for cargo, so you’ll need a few of them. I’m not sure the economy on Iceland could have afforded such an expensive endeavor.
Don't forget about the whole energy side of the business: most people underestimate the potential of this because they can't see all the stuff that's coming. there's enormous potential for that to be even bigger than their automotive stuff.
Isn't Toyota investing heavily in battery tech? I thought they were farther along with solid-state batteries than anyone.

I also looked into this at one point, and MSTR value was so incredibly correlated with the spot price of BTC that it makes sense their results didn't imapct value - everyone knows their value is entirely BTC and are trading it as a bitcoin proxy. They don't need some earnings report. Although I wouold guess either a big buy or big sell reported in their reports would crash their price.
I wonder if they will force iOS device users to similarly prove their vaccination or test status or be locked out. Apple's view seems to be "trust us, we know what's good for you" and "it's not your device, it's ours", so this would be logically consistent, at least.
Architectural beauty is heavily dependent on context. Ornate gothic architecture, for example, peaked in popularity in the USA around 1870 and fell out of style in the early 1900s. Interest in it was revived in the late 20th century, so the same neighborhoods that would have been considered ugly and outdated 60 years ago are now "beautiful" again.

A lot of it is also about uniqueness. The author is rightly awed by pre-war architecture in Europe when he travels, but tourists worldwide are similarly fascinated by glass skyscrapers in New York.

Talking at the neighborhood level, houses constructed today are meant to be more transient vs those from the last century. Builders (whether a property developer or individual resident) will consider sale and resale value first and foremost before anything else. A "unique" house will have far less buyer interest.
