> The arrogance of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs seems so outrageous — and so childishly naive — that it is scarcely (sic) hard to believe. How could an industry that has produced so little in terms of productivity seem so sure that they’ve been “changing the world” for the better.

Let's take one fabulously successful/wealthy/arrogant Silicon Valley company – Apple – which helped to improve and/or popularize: personal computers (Apple II), GUI computing (Macintosh), laser printing (LaserWriter), laptops (Power/i/MacBook), digital photography (QuickTake, iPhone), MP3 players (iPod), Wi-Fi (AirPort), smartphones (iPhone), app stores (App Store), tablets (iPad), smart watches (Apple watch), etc..

Silicon Valley also helped to create many beneficial advancements in the areas of: microprocessors, digital storage, the internet, the world wide web, video conferencing, digital and online games, streaming media, automatic translation, etc..

I would imagine that the author appreciates at least a few of these technologies and would not wish to give them up.

Moreover, the claim that productivity has not been increased by computing and information technology seems to have been largely refuted:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Productivity_paradox

However, the claim that Google and Facebook are disruptors rather than innovators is interesting. I don't think he's talking about disrupting AltaVista and MySpace, but rather disrupting the sale of advertisements and media (newspapers, magazines) that depended on those ad sales.

I honestly believe crypto has a future, but what it looks like I do not know. We're currently in the crypto-bubble, which much like the early web, is full of money grabbers and idiots.

I use Brave as my daily driver, and to hear that it's "cryptoscam" just doesn't align with my experience. You can totally turn off or ignore the crypto stuff if you want. Unlike the majority of the web today which is full of so much tracking, intrusions and scams it seems strange to pass off Brave for offering something different to that.

Ask HN: One Person Company – Missing the social part
I decided to leave my boring 9-5 job and concentrate on a side project. Based on profits it was and is a no brainer, simply the right thing to do.

Now after about nearly 8 months, I really struggle. On the social part:

- kind of miss the boring big meetings
- miss talk and argue with colleagues. Even with the annoying one.
- The small battles were kind of fun, in retrospective.

and so on. Of course the obvious solution would be to get some employees. BUT I don't want to hire, only because I need a bit social interaction.

Anyone in a similar situation? Maybe I miss some obvious solutions. Would love to hear from you guys!

But another part of what the article says is that "Korean to English" translators might be plenty, but "Korean to Spanish" translators are rarer and won't work for whatever wages a media translation firm is willing to pay.

So, you get a "Korean to English" translator who translates the script to english ("pivoting") and then an "English to Spanish" translator who translates the english 'pivot' to Spanish.

As you can imagine or as you might have observed from doing Google translates, this ends up with a poor result.

I have... as mentioned, worked in one of the large tech companies with a monorepo, and they all use fairly similar tooling.

In practice, it doesn't solve the problem because most people default to making everything public. Nominally this avoids duplicating logic, but may result in more stuff being pulled in than was really necessary. These days, when NodeJS developers discuss how bad things have gotten with dependency management, I just laugh.

Thanks for sharing. I like how you provide text snippets for potential responses, as communications & stakeholder mgt. is something junior people often struggle with (not taught much at uni).

Delivering one feature at a time may neither synch up with org roadmaps or go down well with mgt. expectations, but that depends where you work; I can see your approach might work in a smaller organization with overloaded team, where it may be a tool to create laser focus.
In the US it could be decided by Congress by tomorrow but it won't, because legislators are feckless cowards. So it will be adjudicated up to the Supreme Court level sometime in 2032 or so.

That will have been some narrow case that barely applies anywhere with a middle-aged person no one cares about. A few states starting with California will then require some kind of Lidar-controlled cowcatcher-type solution.

There will be a different case brought to the Court in say 2040, when they are finally challenged to do something serious after a photogenic 5 year old is killed due to some provable negligence in Tesla's (or whoever's) software practices.

Around then there may be perhaps two Justices who understand the tech, but the rest won't. The Court will mandate something even more idiotic or will simply kick the case back to lower court.

By then it will no longer be necessary. Maybe we'll all be in Wall-E style bubble sleds and no one will be walking. Or car manufacturers will have finally agreed to get networked (against their will, as in the case of widespread commercial adoption of HTML/HTTP in the early 90s) in such a way that they can cooperatively handle most cases where person steps into the intersection and everyone can route around in a fraction of a second.
This is intriguing -- can you explain your preference setup a bit more to get this behavior?

I was not able to get this to work on my setup. I added a keyword 'uniquekeyword' to the hackaday bookmark, but if I start typing uni... it just tries to give me a web search. I tried enabling/disabling the search bar and messing with my address bar preferences but no dice.

Counter-intuitively, it does sort of work if I put the keyword as a tag. It still tries to offer me a search as the top hit, but the tag result is the second hit.
I'd have to research a little more about actual viability, but there's been a lot of talk the last few years about China's hypersonic weaponry outclassing U.S. capabilities. I've also heard that Russia had similar capabilities, though, and I haven't seen any reports of them being used (yet). Hard to say if that was propaganda, or if the big guns are being held back.
gamma correction is compression, sacrificing data in regions where the eye is less sensitive for more precision in the sensitive ranges. images would look the same without it, you'd just be wasting bits encoding differences that the eye can't see
> . People would just abuse the system, using highly capitalist, low tax countries during their youth and move to socialist countries as they as getting older (of course that does not work, you need borders for this) and it's utterly unfair to let people from outside abuse a contributive system.

The United States is kind of a micro example. Federal taxes are uniform of course, but state taxes and services are not. Retirees tend not to move to high tax, high social services spending states, they tend to do the opposite: move away from California, New York, etc to Arizona, Florida, etc to live less expensively, even if there's fewer services.

Yes and but I think the problem is larger than just Ukraine. It is also about elections and people assuming they were fair meaning they don't realize or can not know that there are many more people opposed to the status quo than it would seem.

I think the apathy you describe could be to a large degree result of - misinformation. I don't have the answer nor any particular insight on what it's like inside Russia so I appreciate your input.

Literally impossible to do. And, also, absolutely pointless to worry about.

In another century, if we don't blast ourselves back to the stone age first (increasingly likely), energy from hydrogen-boron fusion will dominate wherever solar is impractical, and the geothermal wells will become too expensive to continue operating. So, either way, the whole process is an imperceptible blip.

This is the weirdest thing to me. How do billionaires think a big boat is cooler than building nuclear fusion? If I was a billionaire, I'd build space ships and underground tunnels and nuclear micro reactors

No one will pay for this. The point of a more efficient economic system is that everyone is better off.

Capitalism assumes perfect information and transparency. When this doesn't happen, you have inefficiencies, and those require regulation to address.

Throwing away my phone before it's broken is extremely inefficient economics. If you address that through regulation, those same resources will get reallocated elsewhere. Google might be an epsilon smaller, but that will be more than compensated for with more gainful employment elsewhere.

Same thing with regulations to prevent polluting a commons, to prevent monopolistic trusts, truth-in-advertising laws, and otherwise.

Indeed, in many of these places, without regulation, *everyone* is worse off. For example, if you can lie in advertising, and my business does and yours doesn't, mine will win in the free market system. As an executive, you don't have the choice to be honest. With truth-in-advertising laws, everyone is required to be honest, and that's better for the executives, businesses, and consumers.

For me, it made YouTube so tolerable that I would spend significant amounts of time on it. Sometimes I get the feeling that a side effect of adblockers is that they unintentionally act as enablers for addicting platforms.

At times, it's worth thinking about what you're using adblock to accomplish at a higher level. For me it was subjecting myself to YouTube's recommendations for several more hours per day.

Luckily I had found an opportunity to quit YouTube stemming from unrelated reasons, and in the process I uninstalled Vanced. On desktop I block the recommendations feed in case I come from an external link, and I would say it has saved me significant amounts of time.

Also, this shutdown serves as a reminder of the future we may start to find ourselves living in when ads served from first-parties and technologies like DoH become ubiquitous. It's going to be far harder than using uBlock Origin to block ads when you start to need something beyond the DNS layer outside of the browser ecosystem.

We don't go to China for cheap labour.

We go for skills and manufacturing capacity & capability.

China has advanced so dramatically and the population so vast that they've essentially overtaken the West in nearly every category.

I think it was Tim Cook who said, when asked why the iPhone is made in China, that for every one American with the necessary engineering skills you could fill an entire football stadium with Chinese engineers.

We barely make anything ourselves in the West. At this point we're just shells of our former selves, totally dependent on China and to a lesser extent other countries.

Virtually everything has "Made in China" written on it, from your iPhone to that not-so-great random gadget you bought on Amazon.

Meanwhile we're perpetually distracted by inane nonsense fads/infighting and dimwitted celebrity bullshit.

The World is Made in China, we're just along for the ride.
My first ever large (> 4TB) ZFS pool is still stuck with dedup. It's a backup server, gets about 2x with deduplication.

At the time, it was the difference between slow and impossible: I couldn't afford another 2x of disks.

These days, the pool could fit on a portable SSD that would fit in my pocket.

Careful, file-based dedup on top of ZFS might be more effective.

Small changes to single, large files see some advantage with block based deduplication. You see this in collections disk images for virtual machines.

You might see that in database applications, depending on log structure. I don't know, I don't have that experience.

For most of us, file-based deduplication might work out better, and is almost certainly easier to understand. You can come with a mental model of what you're working with, dealing with successive collections of files.

Even though files are just another abstraction over blocks, it's an abstraction that leaks less without the deduplication.

I haven't used a combination of encryption and deduplication. That was Really Hard for ZFS to implement, and I'm not sure how meaningful such a combination is in practice.
Let's say the land is confined to north America, the size can vary from an entire state to a single zip code (I know zips are logical addressing, not geological, but I have what I have), and the shape is unrestricted so it could be non-convex. I suppose one could convert various kinds of areas (states, cities, boroughs, ...) to lists of zipcodes contained within and OHE them but I feel like that would be the _worst_ solution.

The critical bit for me:

> This is only possible if the number of high energy states is limited. For a system of ordinary (quantum or classical) particles such as atoms or dust, the number of high energy states is unlimited (particle momenta can in principle be increased indefinitely). Some systems, however [...], have a maximum amount of energy that they can hold, and as they approach that maximum energy their entropy actually begins to decrease.

In my (limited) understanding, it's somewhat like the phenomenon that a communication channel bit error rate over 0.5 actually results in less information loss (imagine a BER of 1: that's just a NOT gate).

If your energy states are limited, adding energy actual brings you closer to an ordered state (that of everything being in the highest state).

But, this is not a situation you get by simply heating something up with a blowtorch, no matter how hot it is.
