The top 10% demographic is made up mostly by people who consider themselves middle class. The 10th percentile income is like $180k/year, or a little more than an entry level FAANG job. The 1% borderline is a little over half a million dollars, and while obviously very comfortable is not a lifestyle something people would consider genuinely "rich".

So, yeah. It's stocks owned by these folks -- people with normal houses and normal cars and normal jobs, but with a ton of disposable income to stuff into Robinhood accounts -- that seem the most unfairly distributed.

> It's one thing to buy into something that does have wide portability like a postgres but much harder to buy into the platforms that aren't open source.

I tend to feel the same as you - preferring portable solutions that I can host anywhere. However, the reality that we're all building CI/CD pipelines as much as we are actual software nowadays, and moving those from one cloud provider to another is no small feat. Even if you're using some infrastructure-as-code tool to manage all of your resources (e.g. terraform), you can't really `SET TARGET=GCP` and re-run the script (so to speak).

I guess the lesson is: spend as much time picking your infrastructure provider as you do your core technical stack. They're not easy to replace! :-)

Ask HN: Can I see the most recent comments sent to me?
Let's say I write a post or comment on HN, and then 5 weeks later someone writes a comment on it. How would I know they made this comment? Is there a view where it would appear first even though the parent is 5 weeks old?
The problem is that Electron applications don't just eat lots of RAM and CPU - they also have significantly larger installer sizes - usually in the hundreds of megabytes, it seems. (Balena's seems to be 140 MB, compared with 12MB-1MB for alternatives[1])

For small, one-off utilities, you might not care about CPU or memory usage - but you might want to minimize the installer/binary size because you're using it for such a short period of time or a specific task.

For instance, the Windirstat installer is 630 Kb, which is appropriate, because I use it fairly rarely. Want to guess how large the smallest Electron application would be?

Do you also complain that the operator named '*' is overloaded? As a binary operator, it means to perform a multiplication operator. As an unary operator, it means to load the value located at that memory address, which has nothing to do with anything close to multiplication. That is a more gross alteration of semantics than the use of a keyword in completely different slots (as an expression versus as a declarator).

Hi stella. Given this paragraph in the paper:

> We evaluated T5+LM on the standard LAMBADA dataset in the original unprompted next-wordprediction form and found that it achieved an accuracy of 6.2%. This is substantially below the
accuracy of 72.5% achieved by the comparably-sized GPT-3-13B variant. T0 did not fare much
better, achieving only 18.7%. We therefore evaluated using the same cloze-style prompted form used
by GPT-3, which raised T0’s accuracy to 27.8%. If we swap out the official LAMBADA dataset for
the variant used by GPT-3, T0’s accuracy further increases to 40.5% and T5+LM achieves 10.7%.
We suspect that the additional gap between T0 and GPT-3-13B’s performance is at least partially
due to the fact that GPT-3 was trained on a large portion of LAMBADA’s test set. Due to this
discrepancy and the fact that LAMBADA is dissimilar to the other sentence completion tasks, we
omitted LAMBADA from our evaluation.

I had two questions:

1. Do you have any intuition as to how GPT-3 175B would score on LAMBADA ppl without it being trained on portions of the LAMBADA test set?

2. It's encouraging to see such high marks on these language tasks. Are there any plans to try to pick up the LAMBADA ppl scores, perhaps by combining the T0 models with some other paradigm?

The least reliable cloud service provider … relative to what?

A comparison of historical downtime amongst DNS and CDN providers shows this to be an illogical consideration.

If that's the way you work, then maybe a laptop doesn't make sense. For me, I routine work from different locations in my home, and/or work from a nearby B&N Cafe. So portability is actually a requirement for me.

If was going to have a home machine that didn't need to move around, then I'd probably build/buy a desktop machine for that.

Basic economic theory and comparative studies will tell you that a single buyer for healthcare gives that single buyer a lot of leverage, which makes it cheaper.
This is good stuff. One of the most maddening habits I've ever encountered is people who start going down the path of solving the problem, them hit some dead end, then ask for help at the dead end. Usually the answer is to walk back to the original thing you were attempting and find a different path forward that you missed.

My framework for building side projects as a solo developer
You can, if your repository of choice provides a Nix channel[1]. However, the community effort is currently concentrated in the official Nixpkgs repository. So while there are numerous projects based on Nix run outside of the NixOS organization, there aren't any "major" unofficial package repository that I'm aware of. For packaging work, people just tend to contribute directly to the official repository. In fact, the volume of PRs in the official repository is so high I'm surprised at how they manage to keep going in spite of that.

It's also worth noting that many of the benefits of Nix are directly driven from being able to write custom Nix expressions. So if you want to reap all of its benefits, it's definitely worth learning. The core language is small and the experience is not so far off from writing JSON, so that part is relatively easy to pick up. The actual work lies in learning how packaging is done in Nixpkgs. This is best done by grepping around the Nixpkgs repository for examples. Nixpkgs' policy of having all packages in a single repository really shines here.

Owning stocks is risky, and stock portfolios are mostly bought with money people don't need to live on a day to day basis.

The poor simply can't afford stocks, and I expect the middle class to make different kinds of investment. Like property (buy a house), and low risk saving accounts that may be backed by stocks but the owner of the account is not the owner of the stocks. There may be a small part of gamblers who play the stock market like they are in Vegas, but I expect most stocks to be owned by very rich individuals or institutions, who can mitigate the risks by having lots of stocks, and also have some amount of control on the companies they invested into, rather than a millionth of a vote for small investors. Among the institutions are the ones that provide financial services to the middle class.

If your "_not_ fact-checked" description of his behaviour is correct, why did the price go up at all? Unless, prior to the price-hike, those who got it for $1 got it for 50 cents or something, it sounds like the price hike actually hurt the business's bottom line. Why would that happen? If you're correct about this, could it have been a result of the scrutiny? Are there ever any instances where drug costs skyrocket and patients are forced to bear the cost?

Even if a highlighted instance of predatory behaviour was papered over due to said highlight, and even if that papering-over resulted in greater drug availability at lower cost, I think that might have been a result of the spotlight, rather than proof positive that the behaviour isn't awful and doesn't hurt those unlucky enough to fall ill.

> How else would you want to extend a fold to two arguments?

I don't know that there is one that's useful, but a cartesian product seems like the opposite: a fold is a dimensional reduction (from 1 to 0 at the most basic), a cartesian product is dimensionally preserving (you start with 1 and 1, you end up with 2).

A cartesian product (with a mapping function) might be interpreted as the extension of a map, I don't rightly see how it can be interpreted as the extension of a fold, except in the sense that you can implement essentially any iterative process using folds, but that leads to you every n-dimensional transformation being a possible extension of a fold.

So my answer would mostly be "you would not". You could also define an n-dimensional fold as a fold against a caller-specified dimension, but I don't know how useful that would be (though I guess this sort of folds is used when integrating over time in e.g. reactive interfaces).

We take a slightly different approach in my house. The person that divides the treat, gets last pick.

It's very effective at getting the closest to equal distribution possible.

The only time it falls apart is when I'm not particularly worried, so I haphazardly break the cookie in half and end up with 1/4 for myself.
Popularity and efficacy are wildly different metrics. Further, Medicare is not a system that gets away from the private healthcare industry that parent was criticizing. The VA's integrated system largely does.

To me, this simply shows how inequal the american society has become, and how the stock market amplifies it.

You can have an impact on the real economy with stocks. Look at what happened with GameStop. But that impact is done and decided by the wealthiest, who will reap the benefits of it.

But if you live paychecks by paychecks, having no money to put into stocks, you just suffer the consequences of this impact.
A very basic and quite high level explanation is as follows.

In several cases the C++ compiler will generate default implementation for specific methods.

However there are cases where that isn't desirable, and until =delete came to be, the workaround was to mark the method as private without implementation.

So =delete deals away with such hack, although as mentioned this is a superficial overview of its purpose.

What isn't the alternative you are comparing against, though? Keeping a command history from the start of time and re-executing all of it to undo one step? You can't just "undo" a brightness/contrast change as that operation isn't perfectly "reversible" (if this isn't obvious, drag the contrast so low that the entire image turns grey and now try to "undo" that given only what you did and a fully-grey buffer). If you keep checkpoints so you can replay smaller segments, that's effectively the same thing as what this is suggesting (with respect to what has to be implemented and the overall scale of storage required), but with a checkpoint for every step (which is a constant divisor).
With the advent of AI, wealth inequality is probably going to widen. Manual work is getting less and less valuable while ownership of the machines that do the work is getting more and more valuable.

I wonder if the wealth inequality is growing via transfer - aka "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer" - or if everybody is getting richer and the rich just get richer faster?

A good way to look at this might be some measure of the living standard / quality of life.

Over the last 10 years for example - did it go up for everyone? Or did it go up for some and down for some?

They do let you pay for a private hospital room though oddly enough.

Fair. I wouldn't have chosen the phrase "semantic pitfall", however after some thought I think it would classify as a "hole to get your foot stuck in" because it's unexpected in an artificial language to have this. If you're a learner and you covered "delete" the operator last week, then missed a day, and now there's = delete on the slides, do you raise your hand to ask what's this completely new syntax? No, right, it must somehow be the delete operator you learned about, as otherwise it would have a different name... wouldn't it?

But sure, C++ does have actual hidden spike traps, where unwary programmers are going to hurt themselves badly by mistake and this is not one of those.
