> Whereas with Auto, you literally never know what you're going to get. It's not on conscious level - everybody thinks their Auto A/C it's awesome. Until you watch their actual sub-conscious behaviour on a drive.

Honest question: do you really see people touch the level of their ac during a drive?

Auto is actual temperature control. The system tries to stay at the set temperature. It’s a lot more comfortable that having cold air blasted in your face like we used to. I have never witnessed anyone changing it while driving, only flow control.

So ex-VC tried to use an employee as a hitman, and after refusal sued him for questionable things he had previously done at VC’s request?

To be fair, what Marshall claims to have witnessed doesn’t put him in the best light, but from the outside—and taking this article at face value—it seems also true for the entire judicial system.
Nice!

I still think about my 2000 VW Jetta. It had the most satisfying buttons and knobs. I still think about the substantial feed and knock of the button. Click seems like the wrong word to describe it. Compare the Audi A4 of the same vintage which has tinny clicky buttons that I hate.

She clearly understands and is an expert on how depression felt for her and how she managed to improve her situation. And that is all she writes about in the article. So your comment is off target.
Yep. If you pay very close attention, research, move things when necessary, etc. That's either a cool hobby or a second job.

Here's the thing, most humans find it less than scintillating to devolve ALL their activities to some sort of spreadsheet or algo optimization. World of Warcraft is fun for most until the end-game where discovery and imagination is ripped away and all that is left is actuarial tables and dice rolls.

The social contract between WesternCorp™ and their employees that involved a pension (or, conversely, through a Union), was an unfortunately brief period of history fueled by the tragedy of WWII (this is naturally an incredibly deep topic with many nuances that I'm shamelessly glossing over).

My humble and super-simplified opinion is that the PTSD of WWI fueled the subsequent Great Depression (Versailles, etc.), allowed the build-up to the global cataclysm of WWII, and when the emergent Super Powers were two complete divergent theories of government who had both been surprise attacked just a few years previous...there might be some feels.

Not being an economist, the small-S socialism that created the foundation coming out of the Depression which allowed the US to be the "arsenal of democracy" was slowly eroded by the worst excesses of capitalism, increasingly allowed and then accepted as normal because to protest would be to side with "them". Drunk on the irrational profits from WWII and the hyper-growth of the early post-war years, "Us vs. Them" of the Cold War was good business AND good patriotic politics. When you start to think those irrational margins are the norm, and they start to shrink, you do what you think is required to keep them aloft. With that mindset, sustaining a pension fund for a workforce that is decades out of employment can hardly be thought of as something that is increasing shareholder value (there was a time when a lot of the shareholders were also employees).

To be a savvy investor in the stock market requires both attention and treasure. The partnership between business and employee, always contentious (good!), during the Pax Americana emerged from innovation by firms like Kaiser, the G.I. bill mentality and the Marshall Plan. It ended with us recklessly dunking on a broken Russia for 15 years while "maximizing shareholder value" and ignoring the implications. The US dollar is now pegged to the value of our military to back it (rather than the intrinsic value of our production), which means we spend stupid amounts of blood and treasure while backsliding on the principles that built the Pax Americana to begin with.

At the end of the day, why should it be necessary for a citizen of the most dominant power in human history to toil their whole lives without some well-intentioned guidance and support so that it doesn't end in misery?
China’s Sunway supercomputer team wins top prize, closes quantum supremacy gap
The underlying message is that adequate resources is all that it takes for an individual to hoodwink the justice system and be found not guilty of a violent crime. Well, ok, fair enough. Now, GoFundMe shouldn't be a substitute for functional social programs, yet in reality it is. And so, in a world where GoFundMe is required to have an adequate legal defense, why should GoFundMe have the right to take that away?

I reject the idea that they should have that right. Having access to capital via the modern financial system (Visa, PayPal, GoFundMe, etc) ought to be a right. No individual, or company, should have the undemocratic power to strip individuals of access to capital.

Abbreviations and some comments for those who are not quite familiar with electronics:

BGA - Ball Grid Array[0], a way to mount integrated circuits (IC) to a printed circuit board (PCB)[1].

TSSOP - Thin-shrink small outline package[2], a form factor of ICs

8L design - this means the PCB has eight layers, with some being ground planes (that usually are just complete layers of copper and thereby also spread heat which complicates heating up a component for (de)soldering).

SMD - surface-mount device[3], the small form factor for electronics parts that go directly onto a PCB, instead of e.g. bulky resistors with wires coming out of them that are then threaded through holes before being soldered on.

I really like that. Much nicer than the behavior you get when the finishing order matters, especially when on public roads, and I don't see how you could do trips that long without doing them on public roads and still have something interesting.

A restaurant could certainly invest in avoiding the smell escaping. But for most people smelling it, it's advertising, not a beneficial service. (Hey, just like some services you can either pay for -or- have ads when using! LOL)

Flat Earth is a trivially refutable theory, and had been specifically demonstrated to be false.

Perhaps I’m missing something, but I am failing to see the same in case of the “consciousness-from-matter” theory.
Think about how difficult it would be to make a fly from scratch. Not editing the genes of an existing organism, but combining the raw chemical components into a form that's identical to a fly.

There are trillions of examples of insects on earth, but they do us no good when it comes to building one without using an evolved framework.

We've created a great number of things that had no natural analog. The internet, space travel, etc. I'd say our odds of doing something we haven't seen before are about even with artificially recreating a lot of things we see every day

I don't know what linux would actually do in that situation. Actually the loader (loadlin) is what failed. The message was not that informational, somewhat cryptic or non-memorable because I really don't remember anymore. But I think you can see the problem happening again if you try to use one of those distros that booted from a fat filesystem on dosbox.
Being embedded in a nice modern programming language like Python, SymPy is definitely much easier to use, and I'd recommend that for most people. Maxima probably has some more advanced esoteric features I haven't needed, and may be faster for some things (but so might SymPy). I use Maxima in one situation: making online maths quiz questions in STACK [1], because Maxima is the CAS underlying it. I'd rather it used SymPy!

If you need more advanced stuff than SymPy, probably SageMath is the way to go - stay in ~Python, but use it as an interface to other systems (which include Maxima). I used to use Sage before SymPy was around and good.

I remember needing to relearn Lagrange multipliers several times throughout undergrad and grad school. Each time I needed a refresher, I ended up back at this "cow and the river" example. For some reason it always seems to map nicely back to whatever the current problem I am focused on is.
Unfortunately no, it needs little-endian for both 64 and 32 bit modes, which means that, practically, it's limited to systems with POWER{8,9,10} CPUs, along with a smattering of other (relatively) modern SoCs with LE support.

However, most 32 bit PowerPC cores did implement a sort of LE support, by munging memory addresses on reads/writes to word aligned scalars, and letting the OS kernel fix up misaligned and non-scalar operations. This looked like LE to the user process, although it resulted in real-mode memory being BE.

The caveat is, of course, the kernel has to be running as LE, which would require firmware/hardware support (most PPC boards are designed to run BE), or for the kernel to swizzle memory to/from said firmware/hardware.

Another possibility would be to run an LE userland under a BE kernel, which Linux does support. The caveat is the kernel expects all syscalls and ioctls to be the kernel's endianness, so either you handle the swizzling in the kernel, or pass the responsibility to the userland.

To do this, the speaker would have to wear an EEG cap. You're talking about cutting the mic before a verbal tic happens.

There are people who have suffered way more than you. Does that invalidate any opinion you have on your personal struggle? Of course not. Should you stop writing about it? Of course not. So why are you down on the author? She very carefully points out that she is talking about her personal experience and in no way generalise that experience to include or somehow fix problems for everybody else. If her experience gives you some ideas for how to improve your own situation then great! If not then so what? It might help others so it is useful.
I think the parent means that you should be able to talk to the NIC about the computer, without the NIC needing to get the CPU powered on so that the CPU can tell the NIC what to do. Like a very-minimally-functional BMC.

Yes — there are debit cards that will deduct from your crypto balance. These were traditionally not so helpful since crypto is volatile and each transaction incurred a capital gain/loss, but new cards can be backed by stable coins like USDC.

Also, can you pay your rent with Euros? Does that make it not money? That’s not a very principled definition.

The "too late" opinion is completely wrong.

One level I scoff at Facebook's treatment of the metaverse and think it is an attempt to distract from their problems.

On the other hand I started a series of projects a year ago which are about objects that live between the physical and digital universes which are already "metaverse ready".

Super Nintendo. I like the unforgiving nature of older games, but 8bit is a little too retro for me.
If the temperature is too high for you and you used an air conditioner to lower it, then wouldn't you be paying twice: for the AC and the heating?

Do your neighbors have to pay extra when they don't run their AC in Summer?
> Also, can you pay your rent with Euros?

Uh, yes?

I mean, assuming the rent is for a place somewhere in the Eurozone, I imagine that's usually preferred.

One can't really go wrong with any of the current gen consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X/S). They are incredibly powerful, and there's a good choice of games.

It feels harder to recommend PCs for gaming nowadays since a lot of games are designed for console-first, and the prices for average graphics card are now at 2x the price of the consoles. But also depends on the preferred genre. For indie games or some of the competitive online games PCs might be better options.
The opposite of compounding effects are compounding difficulties. Computer science is full of problems where a multiplicative increase in effort results in an additive increase in output. We call these “exponentially hard” and they crop up annoyingly frequently. So one argument is that compounding improvements will result in linear increases in output because of exponential difficulty. The counter-argument is that many of these hard problems have good but not perfect solutions which may be found more efficiently.
I just recently got a Crumar mojo desktop, which has all of the controls in one unit.

But this assumes that more heat = good is always true. What if it isn't? If you're running a whole bunch of computers in one of the rooms then extra heat from your neighbor might actually be harmful rather than helpful.
For the sake of the argument, I think it's more of a shared capability of the motherboard _and_ the NIC, rather than the sole responsibility of the NIC.

I wonder if that could be implemented solely by the motherboard. After all, it could supply a small amount of power to the NIC while shutdown and embed a minimal NIC driver to monitor incoming packets without the need for the NIC to do the monitoring itself.
WSL1 was one of the coolest things I've ever seen Windows do and I'm so disappointed that it's not being worked on anymore. WSL2 seems like such a massive step backwards by comparison. Sure, it's more performant, but it's just running a VM on a hypervisor. I could've done that with any number of other tools available. WSL1 was unique (afaik).

Great! And you can do just that. Explained below with an actual working example.

> The onus is not on anyone to explain why React shouldn't be used. The ordinary state of the world is not React. It's not a naturally occurring substance. The onus is on you to show why the React ritual and all the boondoggle that comes along with it is justified.

The onus is on nobody because it is Open Source Software. If you want to use it, use it. If not, forget it and do your own thing. People use React because they like the bells and whistles that come along with it. If you really want to learn React, just pursue the documentation. Asking random people on Hacker News to prove to you why React is better is not going to get you anywhere. No one has an onus here to explain anything beyond what they can explain in the limited time they have.

> To put it another way: "I don't understand your criticism. Christine has a workflow. (As it happens, it doesn't involve running a build step.) What's the problem?"

Common myth for those who have never used React. The belief that you have to use a bundler.

Myth busted here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29274442

The idea is not whether you can or cannot use a bundler. It is about why people use a bundler in the first place. That is what you need to grok. That cannot be a point of discussion. It is something that has to be learnt first. Only when you learn how to use the tools can you say conclusively whether the tools are good/bad. What you are doing right now is presenting a shallow argument about why bundlers are bad based on your own interpretation of it not being an "ordinary state of the World". Tools are not meant to represent "ordinary state of the World". They are tools precisely because they don't fit the ordinary state. They are there to enhance the experience.

And to use these tools is a personal preference at the end of the day (or your company/team decides on your behalf). Whatever I or anyone else says here will remain as an opinion until you actually try it out yourself. And if you choose not to, that is also cool. You can still use React without any bundler as demonstrated above. Is the experience as great as using a bundler? Nope. Not for me at least. But hey it is after all my opinion. You might have a different experience altogether. These things cannot be point of discussion as it is subjective. What are your pros can be my cons and vice versa.
Okay, now that is the kind of interior design I want in a car. I don't want an off-roader though, so I hope someone comes along and makes a sedan or a hatchback with similar interior design.
Yes. Although it may be impractical for employers who offer benefits since it’s not a simple hours worked*payrate calculation, and salaried exempt employees work varying amount of hours each day, but get the same amount periodically.

Biweekly payments seem like a reasonable compromise to me given the logistics of payroll, and more frequent payments would seem like a poor use of negotiating power and time.
I enthusiastically and overwhelmingly agree. Possibly "over"-agree.
Blood ammonia level rise correlates with loss of coherence, but a causative link would require direct proof that consciousness arises from matter, and I suspect there is no such proof (the responses in this thread supporting my suspicion).

The other, straightforward interpretation is that there may be a third factor that caused both the high ammonia marker and lack of coherence, and naturally that could be patient’s own consciousness and/or its interactions with other consciousnesses (e.g., alcohol abuse).
The formal verification aspect doesn't really have anything to do with Forth, but I do expect the multistack concatentive calculus to be much more ergonomic than applicative languages for linearity, which will play an important role in formal verification. We'll have to see how it all plays out, though.

But that's my goal. I'm not really interested in writing just another programming language. Even if I fail miserably, hopefully breaking the work up into small pieces and publishing as I go will at least inspire others with similar goals.
It's because the layperson isn't constantly observing systems and thinking about how effective or efficient they are. Their minds just don't seem to work like that. (Perhaps there's some area of expertise they have which applies outside the realm of technology...)

While fumbling with some poorly designed UI, they don't appear to get as angry and exclaim, "This user interface sucks! My previous car had a button to turn the A/C on and off."

They just accept it. I could get philosophical (thanks for asking!), and I think that's a general problem with humanity. Too many are too accepting of just whatever comes along, and that's how we converge on terrible designs and terrible public policies and on and on.
I won't check your numbers and take them at face value.

Even with your numbers, that's a 6.4x decrease in price per TB (($100/1Tb) / ($250/16TB)), which is around 2.7 halvings over the course of 10 years, which is very close to my "2-3 years per halving" statement.

Even if it's slower than a halving in price per 2-3 years, 4-5 years say, this only delays my prediction by a decade or so.

I was hoping this would be implemented by actually reading a memory location that was set to 0, when the system is hibernating/sleeping. But it always returns 1. If it was reading a flag from memory it would be useful when examining memory dumps.
