I would argue that the people in those ecosystems have much of the opportunity afforded to me, they just don't know about how possible it really is.

I personally work at a Floridian company, and have a bunch of coworkers who come from the exact backgrounds you talk about. It's totally possible, it just has to be a known opportunity, not a pie-in-the-sky dream.
That movie has some amazing areal shots of San Francisco.

I’m conflicted about whether they fit with the rest of the movie - but they are beautiful.
I’ve been using it since my Amiga days and when I found out they had it for the PC I gladly paid for it and an extra license I don’t even really use just because I wanted to support them.
I thought my babies smelled nice, but always assumed it was the baby shampoo or diapers, both of which had a scent. I suppose it's possible the nice smell came from the babies themselves, but it'd be hard to disentangle — especially since much of the supposed scent comes from the head, which also smells of baby shampoo.
Ask HN: Is RISC-V getting any real traction, and if so where?
Blog posts like this one [1] from SiFive are claiming “billions of chips”, but I have no idea what devices those chips are going into, or whether this means there is a decent chance I’m going to be using a RISC-V desktop machine or phone sometime in the near future.

Thoughts?

I can tell you from personal experience that yes, it does. Or at least it did, when our IPO happened, around 2000.

I don't know how hedge funds played it. Shorting is always dangerous when you don't know who out there might buy on the dips.
> Why is it a bad thing that so many people are that wealthy?

In the USA's case: for every one person who is that wealthy there are dozens of people struggling to put food on the table.
The youtube algorithm can do alright here. The key is a recommendation system that actually segments you into the right sort of place, spotify doesn't really work properly for me in this way.

Other than that I have no idea. I find stuff through some of the more obscure music subreddits (often by literally asking people what else is similar to XYZ). There are undoubtedly blogs around but nobody really uses the internet like that any more...

Side note Spotify and other streaming platforms are awful for even searching for classical music.
Talk with any patriotic person and you'll quickly notice that American exceptionalism relies on comparing the United States to the worst countries in the world and ignoring the existence of other developed nations. Eventually followed by "well at least we can talk about it, unlike <authoritative country where people disappear>" and so therefore all indiscretions must be absolved and ignorable since we have the "unique" ability to criticize the government at all, which isn't unique or exceptional or a well implemented vehicle of change.
Thanks, that's a super interesting history of the phrase!

This is possible, but it's also possible that they are just lying too

Some studies use household income over years to """prove""" that incomes have either fallen or stagnated. They just outright ignore that the size of the household went from 6+ to about 4. In this scenario a constant household income meant about 50% increase in per Capita income
> Without that we suffer when we get advice like "be yourself", "read Dale Carnegie", etc.

I've grown to appreciate such useless advice. It is useless in answering the question you wanted help with but it is a strong signal that you can prune the person who gave such advice out of your social graph without any negative repercussions.

These employee shareholders are all whales for this given stock so if they all sell at once not one of them would get the same price. They'd all tank it for each other. They are far better off waiting for a random Tuesday 2 years from now so that the market can absorb it.

As far as buzzfeed not being Facebook so what? Stocks these days are more marketing than anything else.
It really depends. Some jobs in the military don't gain you a lot of marketable skills. Infantry is a good example. If anything it shows you can complete a few years commitment. Then in some jobs, your military experience doesn't matter. Let take the example of a Navy Corpsman. Functionally, they are equivalent of a Medical Assistant, however when they get out, they don't have the necessary licensing requirements to be a Medical Assistant and may still have to pursue schooling before taking the licensing exam.

So, sometimes it leads to marketable skills, sometimes it doesnt. Sometimes it leads to skills that can transition out into the civilian world, but doesn't because of license and certifications constraints.

But yea, some people do join to get out of shitty small town. I did 5 years in the Navy because in my rural North Carolina town there were 2 other options, make the meth or consume the meth.
I mean, wars were fought over that and revolutions had. People decidedly did not like royalty, large so-wealthy-it's-hard-to-achieve groups, being so far above them. For a while, people much preferred knowing they could work hard or smart and make progress from the bottom to the top 20%.

We're talking about the top 20% here. Not the top 0.1%.
> you will be really lucky to have a PCP that does the home work to make sure you are referred in-network

They have whole databases on their computers that do this for them. Maybe they refer you to someone across town, or the next town over. But they're going to try hard to keep you in-network. This is also why Canadians are constantly paying out-of-pocket to come to USA to get their knee surgeries and back surgeries.
It works pretty well. 23% of Americans use Medicaid. (which means it surprisingly covers more people than UK's NHS) About half of all births in the US are paid for by Medicaid.

The Americans you hear about on the news that don't have healthcare are people who have incomes above the eligibility threshold to qualify for Medicaid, or are too young to qualify for Medicare. It's the people in the middle who fall through the cracks in the US.
Can someone advise if the script is idempotent? That's something I've never bothered with my own setup scripts, but really would be satisfying. Hoping to nerd snipe someone here =]
I understand this to be "difficult to express in a usefull manner", and many soft skills fall into this category. Plenty of people who are goosld at it put together advise that is actually worthless. Many of them don't even know why they are good at it.
Something I've not seen done, but to me seems like it would be much more useful than a shell script (or maybe would have, in these tools' heyday), would have been to use a tool like Chef or Ansible to manage dev dependencies on developer laptops.

The trouble with shell scripts is that they generally require you to manage the state of the machine - whether or not something is installed, before I go install and configure it. Or, if it's already configured, what configs to leave in place, and what configs to reset.

With Chef, for instance, everything's declarative. I don't say "install this package"; rather, I say "this package should be installed". Nobody ever runs the setup script just once, since the dev environment is constantly changing, and all of those edge cases (maybe I last ran it on rev 3, or rev 7 - how do I get to rev 12?) become hard to manage.
The overestimation of social mobility is what explains the people at the bottom voting for governments that promote policies like trickle-down economics that only ever benefit the people at the top.

This is my experience in Australia, which isn't as far along in the progression towards uber-capitalism as the US.
Bullshit, bullshit everywhere.

An abstract model can predict nothing, especially when the system is not fully observable, discrete, fully deterministic.

Abstract modeling is the modern age astrology.
12% of Americans struggle from food insecurity. By definition, 20% of Americans are in the top quintile. I'm with you, I want that first number to be as close to 0% as possible. But it's mathematically untrue that there are dozens of Americans starving for every American in the top 20%. In fact, there are barely half as many.
"Yeah, well Liberia also rejected the metric system".
It's on HN too. Like most Americans here think that their government is significantly better than the CPC, but lifestyles in both countries are totalitarianism. We have prison camps just like they do.
To be fair, #5 is kind of trolling. Taxes are not 'charity'.

Also, the 'money talk' thing - that's Anglo, not American, and it's nothing to do with not understanding low income, it's basically avoidance of blunt status bragging, it's considered a bit crude. Which is why you'd have to talk about your investments in order to humble brag.
Mine crashes too every once in a while, it hangs for a bit and then closes losing the entire desktop. No error is shown but there is one in the application event log. I tried to investigate the cause of the crashes but led me to a dead end, maybe you'll have better luck.
Nobody ever says that in professional environments. They’ll retroactively develop a plausible-sounding justification for their gut instinct. Sometimes, if they’re not particularly self-observant they’ll even believe the explanation they created is the reason they believe what they believe.
Indeed. Some quick digging came up with UK figures from 2019[1]:

Average in Q1: £13,300
Average in Q4: £35,700

For US stats, Googling only got 2018 figures[2]:

Average in Q1: $13,775
Average in Q4: $101,570

So there’s a big absolute distinction hiding behind those similar relative %’s.

Is declarative related to (or maybe leads to) idempotency?
I was running around my nearest city at age 14, looking for work. I got in fights at bus stops, got mugged once*, slept on benches when I missed a ride a couple of times.

Sheltered, yes, ignorant, no. I know what being hungry is like, I remember how weird it was to wear brand-new clothes.

I'm not complaining, it was all perfectly normal to me at the time, but I'm not talking down at the poors, I'm talking about who I am.

*Mugged once and then learned how not to get mugged. People tried after that, didn't go well.
Me too, but more recent memories than yours I'm sure. 8 years ago I did a lot of file management. 80% of my job was moving and renaming files & folders.

Finally I found DOPUS and it was a godsend. Tabs of all my common folders, batch rename, dual windows, etc. My job became much easier and I have free time to learn other aspects of the company.

DOPUS 60 day test drive was about to expire, and I had my 6 month review with my boss (the owner) and HR. They ask if there is anything that would make my job easier: DOPUS and a 2nd monitor.

I received a big lecture on downloading software (I get it), $2 raise, 2nd monitor, but no DOPUS. I was heartbroken. I loved it so much that I would have paid for it with my own money for the company's benefit. It was that good.

Another 6 months and I was promoted out of data management. DOPUS would have still been useful, but not to the same extent as that entry level position.
There's a few ways to look at the data. One is that it's harder to move to the top quintile in America than some other countries, and people perceive it's much easier than it in in America compared to those places.

The other is that it's much easier to get out of the lower quintile in America than those same countries.

There's a couple reasons that might be. One is that social mobility is actually higher in America, but there's a ceiling over which it's hard to overcome unless you're born there. Whether that ceiling is immediately under the top quintile or somewhere lower is an interesting question.

Edit: as pointed out, I actually misread the first graph, which is probability of remaining in lowest quintile. So, yeah, data looks like all bad news to me (unless you count those people knowing fairly accurately how fucked they are as a good thing).
Regardless of how much money I make, none of my friends went to Stanford, I grew up in a boring town in a boring part of the world, and I made my money in an “unglamorous” industry.

I could make $10B. I still wouldn’t reach the top level of class. Maybe my kids kids will.

Here’s an attempt to say something positive about this: you guys should try to seek out those unglamorous industries, usually in unglamorous parts of the country, with people who have unglamorous ideas about the world.

Many of them unglamorously PRINT money using 1980s technology and will happily pay you whatever you ask them if you can help them do that more efficiently. There’s a good chance you can, because nobody else is really even trying.
Very nice! Even the play button has a groovy effect if you hover over it!

> Why should 1 out of 5 people belong to a group so wealthy that saying mobility is difficult should be considered problematic?

It's not fair there are many men handsomer than myself. They should be required to wear a mask.
I think they’re referring to the odd custom-ish embedded parts, e.g. Western Digital usage in mass produced storage devices that can afford novelty.

The problem is that there are really no current commodity embedded RISC-V architecture parts - Chinese dime-a-dozen pseudo-Cortex ripoffs don’t count - remotely comparable in performance/power to better current alternatives.

Benchmarks of SiFive’s high end are laughable, being grossly sub-RaspberryPi which is hardly ARM top of the line (and doesn’t claim to be such). As SiFive’s P550 hasn’t materialized beyond PR, one can hardly consider it real.

Unless some stealth startup appears with a real Zen/NeoVerse analog, I expect this triumph of hype over reality to continue.

> All of this sad, I've been very lucky. Medical conditions I'd be screwed. All it takes is a single severe medical condition to financially ruin you, and then you can't afford treatment, in this country says good luck try a go fund me

Then not every person.

The American system greatly adds roadblocks. There are many reasons besides personal medical conditions that your work hard mentality would have been irrelevant or completely out of reach.
That’s not a major overestimate. 11.7% and 7.8% are qualitatively similar amounts. What level of accuracy do they expect people to estimate such numbers with?

I count myself to be lucky in the top 20% of earners in America and have friends who also fit in the range. I've met a lot of people who struggle to put food on the table whose income is in the middle 50%. A lot of them have the same complaint: they don't qualify for help because they make too much. But they also struggle to pay their bills because they don't make enough.

I don't know where you think 12% of Americans "struggle from food insecurity". But I don't trust your numbers because my anecdata says different.
Yes, it's definitely possible. But your personal experience more or less indicates that it can be done, not that it commonly is.

"it just has to be a known opportunity" - and this is the rub.

I think that this is far, far more than simply 'informing them they can go to college'. It's an entire life outlook, set of conscientious behaviours, that's almost impossible to contemplate if you're completely outside of positive conditions.

It is true that almost anyone can go to almost any public school, get into a hald-decent Uni and study STEM, and 'have a decent job'. But getting people into that modality is much more easier said than done, it's probably the 'hard part' actually.
I've actually done this before with Ansible, but it still required a bootstrapping script. Basically it installs homebrew, then Ansbile, asks a few setup questions, clones a git repo with the rest of the setup process, and then kicks off the Ansible script. The dev environment has a lot of legacy stuff in it and has been grown over years so it's difficult to break it down into simpler pieces. It works surprisingly well in comparison to trying to do things manually or the old mixed manual/pure shell script approach.

That said, it's also surprisingly finicky. The scripts have to be regularly maintained or things keep changing out from under you and causing problems. Especially if you need to support more than one platform (i.e. macOs and a Linux say...).
Listening to yet more propaganda is not the way to find objective facts! Reject all propaganda.
Yeah, and I don’t mean to suggest that there are no further levels to discover and understand or more fundamental properties to explain the ones we know, just that there is a limit to what we know, and that at some level things which are experimentally observed are assumed. IMO these are always excellent questions, and there are people looking to find explanations and more fundamental physics, but this is increasingly difficult as current models explain current observations very well and it is hard to go further with experiment.

Even if there are further levels to be understood, those probably won’t lead to any more satisfying answers, just a swap of one axiom to ponder with a more fundamental one.

I think it is like asking about epicycles prior to Kepler, or asking about Kepler’s laws prior to Newton (and on). There are new and better explanations, but always more questions than answers, and some things that just are (as far as we know).
I don't think people don't care. I think it's very hard to talk about. For example, are antisemitism and anti Israel policies the same thing or is it a spectrum?
We have 23TB of images stored in S3 and I was recently looking at moving them to Backblaze to save hundreds of dollars per month. These are all individual image files, because reasons.

Then I realized that S3 Glacier and Deep Archive were even less expensive than B2. I took a bit further of a look and found that Glacier/DA files have some fairly chonky metadata that must be stored in normal S3, and for a lot of our images the metadata was larger than the image in question. So Glacier/DA would increase our storage costs. Over all it probably wasn't a money-saving situation.

The ideal use case is to bundle those up into a tar file or something and store those large files, and manage the metadata and indexing/access ourselves.

So, using rclone to copy 11TB of data to B2.
Hmm, that's super weird. That account is just a corporate Google account.

There was a survey[1] a while ago where 19% of Americans said they were in the top 1%, and 20% more believed they would later become the 1%. That adds up to 39% of Americans who are either irrationally optimistic or who failed statistics. It's kind of like how everyone thinks they are an above-average driver and are a top performer at work.

I started my journey with urxvt, and was seeking better rendering. Alacratty+tmux (with urxvt keybindings) was working well, and I learned to deal with the "auto resize" when moving windows between screens with different DPIs. I tried wezterm from a thread here, and the emoji rendering (a feature I've never relied on before, but nice to have) was better than on alacritty, and stuck with it. Learned to work with it's tabs + extra features, and stuck around for a bit. Liked that I could run the same terminal on Linux + Windows.

I liked wezterm, and it's flexibility, but like I mentioned that GPU bug was killer. I'd have love to help diagnose it, but I'm not sure where to begin. Kitty did most of what wezterm did, and I just stuck with it since. The timestamp on my kitty.conf is 2021-09-11, so it looks like that was the last time I had to tweak it after starting to use it, and I'm happy thus far.
I feel like it’s hard to describe America as being at the “top rung” of health care with the stats linked. Those being

28/40 life expectancy
3/40 reported health
18/40 social inequality

I can’t help but feel that that “reported health” is skewed with such a low life expectancy.

For clarity within these rankings the lower the number the better.

Took a few hours to play the game, spread over ~24 hours. Was able to reach the end, and score 30 Septendecillion [1]; I chose not to start over. At times it felt like there was no end to this game, and the only reason I kept playing was because of the level of engagement built into the game. The player has to figure out the game mechanics at each level, and every level introduces some novelty.

This is the first game in many years, in over a decade perhaps, that I was glued to for hours, and kept coming back to play. This left 2048, my favorite pastime until now, far behind in terms of engagement.

I did not read the blog post because it warned of spoilers, so at different stages it took me a while to optimize the numbers to make progress.

Loved the game, and will play it again when I have a few hours to spare. Hopefully will be better at it the next time.
