I think that's a great insight; I especially like comparing the sharpness of an two-face edge to a three-face corner; we could expect stepping on a seven-face corner to be slightly worse than stepping on a six-face. I think that "sharpness" idea surely must be related to this phenomenon. However, one should be careful not to let that "increasing sharpness" idea lead to the mental image of a concave shape, especially not a sea urchin. That would be a false resolution to this "paradox" and that image of a N-cube would lead to all sorts of other incorrect ideas, e.g. regarding where the volume of the shape is.
In the spirit of the law, that license is meant to protect authors from honest mistakes. I highly doubt that purposely made malicious changes will fully protect authors.
> One of the most self-perpetuating ones is the myth that "misinformation" is caused by not banning "bad" people, when it's actually caused by not exposing everyone to contrary viewpoints so that they lose the opportunity to have their mistakes corrected.

I'd argue that it's really two sides of the same coin. Take a social graph where nodes are people. It's not that eliminating bad nodes is a good solution, it's just that when you eliminate the dangerously influential bad nodes (the bad ones with a disproportionate amount of connections), it can have the effect of redistributing interactions more evenly in the graph, which means any given node is more likely to be exposed to a greater variety of nodes.

Ideally, we wouldn't have to eliminate any bad nodes, but that would require a stable graph where bad nodes don't attract more and more connections. Which I believe is an alternative formulation of your comment about the need to regulate algorithms.
That's luxury brands moving downmarket to cash in. I've seen a lot more Maseratis out in my part of the 'burbs than before. We're not the rich 'burbs or area of the city, but deeply middle-class, and I'm quite certain that hasn't changed. I suspect instead that brand has moved down-market.

Some try to ride the line and do both. Create an overpriced line that's maybe less well-made than the "real" ones, and slap your brand name all over it because some segments of society think advertising the right brand names and lots of fake gold and such are what rich people like, and they want to be like them while prominently advertising that they can afford "luxury". Then you sell them in different stores from where you sell your actually-luxury goods. A Gucci bag with the most prominent design element being "Gucci" tiled all over it isn't actually a luxury item. "Big pony" Ralph Lauren isn't even luxury-adjacent like the mainline brand is (or, at least, has been), it's trashy as hell—but they produce them for a reason, and in some stores that's nearly all they have. That's a signal of the kind of store you're in and who they're selling to, not a sign that luxury has become more accessible.

None of this is "luxury" becoming more affordable.
I'm afraid it does delegitimize the movement. If someone commits crimes on behalf of BLM, it's BLM's job to publicly denounce those individuals and recite the main BLM values (what are they, btw?). Not doing that gives an impression that BLM is either a disorganized mob or, worse, that it quietly supports those criminals.
If someone seriously wanted to run an experiment/trial it would need to be on the scale of a medium sized city and a decade before I’d be willing to draw any conclusions at all.
I despise the tell them nothing approach and I think it's despicable, but that said I think there is a more legitimate reason than the lawyers. If the person is a spammer or otherwise not legit and you tell them what they did wrong, it's a lot easier to hack around the problem and beat the automated moderation and get your malware into the store.

I don't think that justifies the harm it does to regular people, but it is a lot less sinister than just CYA.

I actually blame tech media who capitalize on every "malware in the Play Store!!!" story a lot more, and the Apple apologists who use any news of malware on Android (even if it only applies to people downloading pirated apps and sideloading them with root) to trumpet how insecure Android is. Personally I think that bad press is the primary driver behind the modern policies.
> McDonalds by my house is offering $23/hr for entry level work and robots are nowhere to be seen.

Who's pouring the drinks at your McDonalds? Over the past five or so years, the robots have taken that over. McDonalds has never been a stranger to labor savings, although I don't think they use burger conveyors like other chains, they do lots of little things. They've also been putting in two lane ordering all over the place, which increases throughput.

All these things work together to reduce the people hours to put together an order. Sometimes that means one less person on a shift.
I don't think this is the right way to process this intuitively. When you use words like "volume getting concentrated" it sounds like there is some non-uniformity in the sphere, but the non-uniformity is really in our intuition about space.

What's weird isn't the sphere, it's distance, and I think that's easier to process.
Going from a (1d) sidewalk to a (2d) football field to a (3d) ocean, it's easier to see our intuitions about distances slowly breaking down.
You've nailed it.

It really does require an eye for detail (in places where it matters) to a degree that comes epsilon close to being "pedantic" in the annoying sense -- without quite going over that line.
The main difference here is that those paying for a pointer to the bored ape, are paying just that. Nothing more. Anyone can copy that bored ape image, and use it as they want.

If you pay $100k for a Patek, that's your watch. It's a physical item - the only way someone's going to steal it, is by physically stealing it from you.

Of course, one can argue up and down whether or why a Patek is worth $100k. But IMO it's easier for the layman to argue its worth - it's an item which probably took 12 months to make, using the best materials, world-class craftmanship. The bored ape was generated in microseconds.

If I had $100k to spend on whatever, I wouldn't spend it on either of those. But if I was to guess what item will hold its value 5,10,15 years down the line...I'd go for the Patek, 100% of the time. The bored apes are digital beanie babies for rich people.
I wonder how your iMac G4's arm is. Seems like the 17"s and up all seem to suffer from stretched springs (the lower weight on the 15"s has preserved them).
and you can see the inner circle is much smaller than the surrounding circles in 2d, the difference is a little less so in 3d? which would continue until the so-called 'inner' circle is friggn _huge_.

I mean, everyone knows that everything is super far apart in higher dimensions, it surprises me that it takes up to 10D before he slips out-- perhaps more intuitive when i keep in mind that n-spheres are the most compact shape?
Years of unpicking others use of Rs sqldf (which by default used to copy the entire data frame to a SQLite db, run the query, the copy the result set back) when they complained their R code was to slow has taught me a visceral, negative to the name and pattern.

Glad to to see duckDB delivering, finally, on the promise of running SQL against in-memory dataframes
Yes - Delphi and C++Builder's Object Inspector still does this. Double-click a control, and the default event handler (OnClick) will be created. There's a link auto-set between the button instance's event handler (method pointer) and the method, which is auto-created in the form the button belongs to.
Sounds like something is messed up with your zig cache. I have a medium-size project (30 files, 10s of thousands of lines of code) that takes 0.07 seconds to `zig build` if nothing has changed. This is on a Mac.
They had to C&D a Chicago bar during S2 for completely rebranding around the show. There are still, 3 years after the last season, billboards around here (for random companies) making oblique references to the show. I think it's hard to deny the cultural impact the show had. Again: I'm not saying it's better than Game of Thrones (though: than the last season? probably.)
In my case, it's always a virus in my graphics card. Guess I'll have to use a TTY only, and stdout to a dot matrix printer.
My guess is that it's for the firmware TPM? That's the only sort of thing I'd think of that's CPU-specific.
> Guaranteed income (GI) would at least buffer some of the anxiety. I could also see businesses knowing it existed would cut worker hours to part-time. But if part-time plus GI was enough then the worker has the power.

This is the biggest advantage I see, and shows why you wouldn't even need a living wage. You need a sufficient amount of money so that if a worker is being abused they can say "fuck it, I quit" and be able to live until they find another job. Being able to do that should prevent a fair amount of abuse in the first place.

Sure, but that’s on them isn’t it. Should they not identify as their race, religion, creed or culture because you judge them for doing so?
Forgot a sarcasm tag there? Or did you forget about the Exxon, BP, and Union Carbide spills?
Do you recognize that you're doing exactly the same thing in reverse?

The thing is, you can stomp your foot and throw a fit all you want about others not using your definitions that flow from your worldview, but it doesn't change reality. You're approaching epistemological and psychological differences as though they're a battle of authority. You can claim authority over a lot of things, even legal authority, but you cannot force someone to "understand differently."

This is what I mean by theists and atheists talking past each other. They each employ a form of ethnocentrism that frames every conversation as an argument. They do NOT want to understand each other. They want to WIN.
I'm still doing security updates, but you have to self-build, and any new development would be "when I get a round tuit." Some people are doing downstream forks and there are build-it-for-you scripts/Automator packages you can use.
I think that is more a testament to the lives we now live as Software Developers more than anything else. It's not uncommon to find anecdotes of others on HN talking about how they maybe work 2-3 hours a day and take home 150k+ a year.

I started working my freshman year in high school in 2008 as a busboy at a local restaurant making $4.50/hr + tips from the servers working that night. I couldn't even drive yet so I pocketed most of that money and was grateful for the opportunity. (This ultimately allowed me to build my first PC and I allowed me to get into programming.)

I moved from there to another local restaurant with a similar job title, but quickly moved up into working in the kitchen as a line cook. I think I made $8 or $9/hr when I got the "promotion". After graduation I wandered around some and eventually ended up as an asst. manager at a Burger King.

Now, over a decade later, I can sometimes look back nostalgically at my time in food service, but I don't know that I would ever go back, for any amount of money.

The things I am nostalgic for are structure, a defined start/end time, and being able to leave work at work. The pay was awful, the people were generally nice enough, but there's always a rude customer at some point or a manager with a power trip. I don't miss waking up at 5am to man the drive-thru, or going home after midnight smelling like grease.

If I woke up tomorrow with no qualifications to write software, I would sooner go into a back breaking trade than go back to retail.

I think we will see automation really start to take over these retail spaces in 2022. In my city (Dallas), pretty much every single fast food restaurant has mobile ordering or a kiosk available. My local Kroger expanded their self checkout lines and after 10pm, there are no more manned checkouts open. I've frequently had to scan and bag a full cart of groceries using self checkout (which sucks).

The past two years have opened up a lot of time for these giant corps to invest in R&D as the labor pool shrinks. Through the perfect storm of chip shortages and labor shortages, we haven't seen a large scale roll out, but I'm confident it's coming as soon as parts and installers are available.
FWIW, every server-level spam filter I'm used has had so many false positives it's caused me significant problems.

Also FWIW, people to whom I send email regularly tell me that their email systems mis-classify my emails as spam. I've spoken with several networking specialists, and they all shrug their shoulders and say: "It's the server level spam filtering ... it's not very good." GMail in particular is known to be aggressively negative towards email originating from anywhere other than another GMail account.

So in answer to your no doubt intended to be rhetorical question, I use spam filtering in my email system, not on the server.
You either didn’t read my comment, or you meant to respond to a different one. He didn’t have to do anything. He could have just walked away.

I only wrote the other stuff to show that there are other better alternatives to getting paid as a response to people who supported the terrible thing that Marak did to open source.
The one I read is https://old.reddit.com/r/VintageApple .

If there are more I'd love links too!
The overwhelming majority of suspected spam is rejected with temporary failure codes in SMTP and never makes it to the spam folder. The stuff in your spam folder is the cream of the crop!
Eh, was semi rewarded myself for sticking my neck out at Oracle, rest of my team was let go, I was rewarded for my good attitude and small expertise just for showing up where previous coworkers couldn't. Reward was that I got to keep my job and watch my other coworkers told to take a hike... The challenge then became how to drop my cynicism more than how to work the dysfunctional org.
It was so cool to boot from it in the uni's labs and get all my home environment.
Good question. It’s because it relates to previous, real life experiences when people have tried to gatekeep things from me, or passed judgement on me for doing something “different” when the subject at hand was completely inconsequential, like whether I play with lego sets or not.
Clickbait nonsense.
My advice, life is too short to use tools you don't like (and subsequently makes you complain about it).
I personally love python, vim and debian. So that's what I'm using for the past 20 years.
If I was forced to write java for a living I would probably end up unhappy as well.
I just started studying the topic. I also don't know how to do brain surgery, but I'm confident with enough schooling and study I could do it. With Bitcoin I don't need satoshi level understanding, I just need to know enough to either make a little money or avoid it altogether, kind of like I don't need to be a master chef to enjoy a great meal. I just need to know enough about cuisine and my likes to pick out a nice restaurant.

I don't know how much Elon understands it. That's what I am trying to determine. The feedback on HN is he doesn't. I'm checking that against other sources.
I once created a dataset of X-hooked-up-with-Y for my circle of friends. About 50 nodes and a few hundred connections (after I asked around a bit for additions).

It became a wedding present for one rather central "node" with the title "drosophila neural regulation network" or something like it. No names, just lines and circles. It's still the centerpiece in his home office.
In Ontario,Canada you can pre pay for repairs, but you aren't allowed to deduct those amounts from rent. Here, you would need to front $500+ or whatever to have the work done, and then pay $50 for a Landlord and Tenant Board hearing booking (which have been delayed months). Then you need to show up, prove the work was needed, that the landlord had enough time to do it and didn't, and that you minimized the costs.

(A joint tenant advice, contracting and paralegal brokerage might be a good business in this area. But do I really want to make myself a major enemy of all the scummy landowners? Noooope.)

Municipal offices will intervene on their own to ensure things like heating are taken care of. In Waterloo the minimum allowed temp is 21C or 70F. In my experience with this city's offices, they will take care of this almost immediately (immediately respond to form on website via email asking for evidence of sub 21C settings, then call the landlord and request the temp be increased etc.)
Actually it was mostly xv with interesting content.
I think the vast majority of the people buying gold bars (or their digital equivalents, like shares of physical gold holding funds) do this to hedge a variety of life risks and value a relatively low volatility.

Gold prices do fluctuate, but over the long term (decades and centuries) an ounce of gold generally held its inflation-adjusted value. I suspect buyers of gold would see a lot of problems with BTC price swings and risks that it would be outlawed or restricted in some unknown ways.
I'm sure once upon a time no one in their right mind considered Japan attacking Pearl Harbor a realistic possibility (as in "zero chance" to use your words), yet it happened. Doesn't have to be China at all - I just used it as an example of a country currently building artificial islands for military purposes and how taking an island with no military presence (US has left, remember) would be easier than building your own. It's a very strategic location. If the US left it, I don't think you can say with a high degree of confidence that someone else wouldn't be interested in taking it over. It's a relatively small place in the middle of a big ocean that is totally dependent on the outside for survival. Again, it doesn't have to be China. And I'm not advocating for the US keeping Hawaii. Just pointing out a simple realistic possibility that if the US left Hawaii, like the OP I was replying to suggested, that likely someone else will take it for themselves.

> Also, before taking Hawaii, they'd have to take Guam,

Why would the US Territory of Guam come into play if the US gave up Hawaii and it was no longer a part of the US to defend?
Then the problem is that we've overdone it, relative to our current automation level. The amount of free money you can get is high enough that more people are choosing not to work than jobs have been automated away so far.
If anyone has a breakdown of this that fits into these (or other) nice categories please share. Based on my searches:
(1) Tourism (this includes real estate rentals, entertainment, travel)
(2) Government (defense)
(3) Ocean surface transportation
The majority won't engage in productive tasks, but the output from the minority can be massive. Einstein wrote his papers as a side gig from his patent office job. It doesn't take many Einstein's to make up for a large number of slackers.

> that the United States is "inherently founded" as a country on racism or racial divisiveness

The Constitution includes the three-fifths compromise, where slaves count for 3/5 of a person for purposes of Congressional representation.

It seems like a pretty supportable claim. Banning readily supportable claims about history from being taught seems... ahistorical.
Not sure why you're being downvoted.. this comment seems to have a ring of truth. You could even apply it to the coronavirus
True, keep the database as dumb as possible IMO. I have converted 200 line SQL queries into 30 lines of SQL plus 20 lines of code for OLTP. OLAP is a different beast though and SQL can get nasty.
> "Immigration from low wage countries is important because there are millions of jobs that Americans simply won't do (at the same low wage)"
> "People will not work less if we give them free money"

These opinions are often held by the same people.
This seems heavily Anglophone centric.

A notable omission is reference to French inventor Claude Chappe, who in 1792 demonstrated a free space optical communication system.

It was the first practical telecommunications system of the industrial age, that eventually spanned all of France, until replaced with electric telegraph in 1850s.
Some short-term unemployment insurance would likely still exist under UBI - the two programs have sharply different goals, and a viable UBI would generally be too low for a "full" income. But UBI would almost certainly allow for more flexibility in the labor market, that would make extended UI a lot less relevant.
Honestly I just think life is easier just using Magit instead of brewing your own git aliases.
"I think that automation is good, but I don't think that it makes humans permanently redundant."

Technology has already made people permanently redundant in many places and will continue to do so. There is a near zero percent chance that technology will stop advancing to replace people's jobs. As we march forward with new automation, there will be a net loss in jobs. UBI is an attempt to solve that problem.
Google has many processes that are broken for everyone and don't get fixed. That's why monopolies are bad.
Of course it is incorrect, the system is of course not stochastic, not even floating points.
Again, I do stand corrected.

To my defense, I was going by my Bayesian prior for certain language names for which one could be 100 percent sure there was no alternate accepted spelling or capitalization.

So if one put JAVA or PERL on their resume, that would generate a definite "pass" signal.
They sell laser trip-wires that act as usb keyboards and can hide windows, lock your computer, or run scripts.

There are romance novelists that do that ! i am not a romance specialist, but i know they exist. I advise to search a bit, maybe ask your local library. Romance is a really wide genre, the biggest, with a lot of different niche. It exist. I promise you.
The Crown too, a good example of something that would be flagship HBO content.

Another thing that's easy to sleep on is that Netflix is much, much better connected to its audience than HBO is to its own. Netflix makes a lot of content that I couldn't be less interested in, but that's probably a strong positive indicator for them; I obsess over The Wire, Deadwood, and Community, and am thus pretty clearly a niche audience. For years, HBO did a good job of serving people like me, to their detriment.
Total employment in the US is higher today than it was in 2019.

If there were basic income, the payments would be incremental to the salary. The worker, though unhappy, could upgrade other elements of their life.

Perhaps jobs are scarce and this worker really has no place to go and must endure the abuse. Once BI is introduced, what percent of workers would quit and stop working, vs. quit but find new employment using the BI to bridge expenses in the meantime and be able to make a full time effort of the search?

BI should make employees more mobile and employers with unpleasant work will need to pay more to get those positions filled.
Python has so many things you just need to know to get going, so much magic and a typical complex codebase has so many broken things, it sometimes even feels worse than Java. Some people love it, and easily deal with it (it seems), but I don't, so just a humble opinion.

It seems like everybody hate significant white-space, but I think it's only an annoyance with good editor support (god help you if you are stuck on nano in a remote session).

If you like C syntax more than Python like me, go immediately becomes a great substitute. I'd also say Typescript but npm nearly matches pip in terms of annoyance sometimes. Deno is cool though, definitely needs a mention!

Machine learning? Best of luck to you! If there's someone working with go/ts in ML field, would love to hear more!
