Maybe defaults should not be designed to capture personal information.

This indicates a massive need for GDPR or something like it, as opposed to the opposite.

The lack of disincentives to collect personal information is why so many softwares default to collecting it. GDPR flips the equation completely, where GDPR aware software (and lots of software now market their GDPR compatibility) will default to not collecting personal information.
> Putin is not crazy, [...] the Ukraine invasion was a way to bolster and secure his position in the face of doubt caused by the cancer.

Although I (think I) know what you mean, the idea of starting a war, killing thousands of people, destroying cities and destroying the Russian economy all to avoid looking weak due to cancer... well, it certainty sounds pretty fucking crazy to me.
> unnecessarily upsetting them

That's just the first half good advice. Don't be a jerk when you talk, don't be a jerk when you listen. Don't try to offend people unnecessarily, and don't be offended unnecessarily.

As soon as you decided that the only metric which matters is when someone is unnecessarily upset, offended, or whatever, everything was lost. In that case nobody can say anything.

> Spouting sheer idiocy can (and should) get you shunned and shamed

This is where the modern world has an issue. The window of what is considered beyond the pale has grown quite a big larger than it was in the past. In the old days you would never hear the President of the US repeating obviously fabricated insane conspiracy theories.
Coincidentally, the US is also down to 3 mobile networks.

I wonder what the percentiles is for number of networks in populous and large countries. Perhaps 3 networks is the number of maximum economically viable long term networks due to the enormously high cost of installing all the fiber and cell station infrastructure across the country.
"few components into many distinct products with differences in technique or ratio is still cheaper to do with manual labor."

True, the more specialized the final product is the less likely it is that it will get automated.

Our current wave of automation will have its greatest impact on white collar jobs. Many of the jobs will get redefined into simpler functions and the very simple functions will be automated by software. Two I can quickly think of are Medical and legal services. These services will be greatly impacted in a few decades. The professionals won't go away but there will be a few elite ones that will have many assistants who will use information services to help them do their job.

I've started to see it. The medical offices I use have many more physician's assistants now than a few years ago to name one impact.

The idea of complete automation is unlikely to happen any time soon. I don't even think it will even happen in our grandchildren's lifetime but limited automation will have a great impact on our society.

We have to be careful with the word "Myth" since automation will have and is having a great impact on us.

Even left wing dominated cities have large numbers of right wing constituents. There are more registered Republicans in NYC than live in the entire state of Wyoming.

Right wing cancel culture are lynch mobs and the literal bombing of an American city and the imprisonment of an unconscionable number of black males. While I agree the power is waning, saying that it isn't on par with a few people losing their jobs due to misplaced outrage is hilarious.
While I view my Intel iGPU as a backup, I don't have any negative impressions about its performance like many gamers do. I have the 11900K which has an iGPU capable of 720P gaming. Which is quite remarkable to be honest considering it's integrated into my CPU. Cheap and "just works" is exactly how I view it, but they're getting better in the last 2 generations.

I can't find a new dGPU at MSRP so I'm going to see if the Intel Arc cards are more readily available, and if not, I'm probably going to part out my desktop and move permanently to using Intel NUCs. Mostly for the GPU contained within. It seems like the days of getting your hands on a dGPU are over, and I'm not fighting over them.

In the same way Apple has started to listen to users regarding their computer feature set they need to do the same for monitors, especially if they want to charge a premium. They make it hard to justify for anyone that uses a Mac + anything, which is honestly probably most people in the market for a $1,600 monitor. I have Mac, PC and gaming consoles at my desk. Do I buy a separate $1,600 monitor for my Mac and another monitor for everything else? Even if you take money out of the equation there are space considerations.

So here is what I think Apple should add if they ever want to get serious:

1. An HDMI 2.1 port.

2. Basic Windows and Linux support

3. AppleTV built in. If you are going to add an a14 you might as well use it for something (I have this fantasy that they will unveil a 24 inch consumer targeted monitor introducing this feature). You then add the ability to use this as a nice small tv or computer monitor, but they will probably never do it.

4. For $1,600 it should really be 120hz or higher, but I imagine if they do introduce this the Pro Display XDR will get it first.
I talked with you (Lambda Labs) just a week ago about the A100 specifically and you said that the demand was higher than the supply, and that people should check once a day or something like that to see if it's available in your dashboard. If you clearly have it available now, please say so outright instead of trying to push some other offer on me in emails :)
Yeah that's exactly the point I was making "I can spend my way out of this democratically passed law" is not really democracy is it. It's capitalism at the cost of democracy.

Hard to read code is subjective. I am guessing you are working with professionals and not high school programmers. Most of the code I see from professional programmers is passable enough for me to

1. Review functionality and then

2. Point out something about coding style.

In fact, if the functionality is good, I even approve the PR leaving a lot of code styling comments that the author can fix at their own leisure.
Absolutely. That is why I wrote no "further" warning. I could probably have been clearer.

This is a consequence of the Internet. In the old days if you said something stupid people would laugh at you and that would be the end of it. Now if you say something stupid and it ends up online people will dig it out of your past to use against you. This is an especially big problem for people who were edgy in their youth but are older now. Societal standards shifted out from under them and you aren't grandfathered in the court of public opinion.
To be fair, "the point" is not clear. It seems to be some critique of some aspect of past anthropology, but what that is exactly is opaque.

It feels like everyone has read The Lean Startup but hasn't understood the key message. I read it a few years ago, and I still ended up wasting too much of my time building something that no one wanted. Then I started advising other founders, and I see that most of them are still failing exactly how the book describes failing.

It apparently takes multiple exposures to the Lean Startup concept from different angles for people to get the core message. My own attempt to teach Lean Startup from another angle is called Bloated MVP [0]

This author appears to be somewhat uninformed, and doesn't seem to understand the way decisions are made in a dictatorship. I think the most revealing quote is this one:

>"Third, [these insights] imply that the odds of nuclear war might be higher today than in the Soviet era, because Russia is much weaker. The Soviet Union simply had more ground to give up in a conventional war before defeat appeared existential than does Putin’s smaller empire — which may be a reason why current Russian strategy increasingly prioritizes tactical nuclear weapons in the event of a conventional-war retreat."

The Soviets were actually most afraid of a decapitation strike, which is why their missile defense systems were focused around Moscow, and they put so much money into mobile ICBM launchers and SSBNs. Nuclear weapon usage would be more likely to destabilize the Putin regime than cement it, if you look at it through the lens of political game theory (I recommend "The Logic of Political Survival").
So you really are fine with terrorists doing 9/11 because hey, Americans voted for the US leadership that shot up Bin Laden's friends?

I have friends in Russia who are devastated at what Putin has wrought.

> Most Russians and Americans are just as able bodied as Putin or Biden

Ah of course! It's about being able bodied! Maybe my friend can just tell the Russian army to retreat, oh what's that, the army follows Putin's orders but not my friend's? Hmm, but they're "just as able-bodied", geez, maybe it's something else that makes the army listen to Putin and not to my friends?

Even with coordinated calls for large demonstrations like Navalny's team did, the state (police) is still stronger.
You got downvoted, but I think it's an excellent insight that gets to the heart of the matter.

You can't stop mobs from forming or trying to do damage, but for sure we can attempt to shield society from it.

Businesses should learn to not panic when a mob calls for the firing of an employee. Often it's done in a blackmail scenario: I will stop using your products if you don't comply.

They didn't use your products in the first place, and if they did, they won't stop using them in numbers. The economic threat is a bluff. Call the bluff. Nothing happens. Then, just wait out the mob as they get impatient and move on to the next target. Stand like an oak, not like a twig in the wind. Don't let a bunch of weird anime avatars tell you how to run your business.

As this return of sanity will not magically happen, I would support legislation to offer employees some reasonable protection from mob terminations.

Universities are perhaps the hardest to fix. Students needs to be taught to be resilient, open to opposing points of view, understand the concept of a zeitgeist and stop seeing being offended as the end of the world.
> I think it's also significant that 73% of the US population agrees with Abbot

I think that's an essential part of the problem: the fact that the views being penalized are (generally) widely held. From a purely practical standpoint it seems foolish. It's possible to ostracize a group of people for their beliefs when the group is small, but completely impractical if that belief gains any sort of traction.

I mean, early in our history America ostracized the Mormons, but could you imagine doing it now? And they're not even close to a majority.

The worst part, of course, is that 'large body' is pretty close to 100%. It's mutually assured destruction, and working.

That's a great line - the world isn't Kubernetes. Yes, in the real world, things break and problems arise. Things that worked in one context break down in another. In one of the chapters, I talk about the huge amount of maintenance work needed to keep these systems running, 'unsexy' work that never gets mentioned in the founder's keynote. There's often an immense amount of labor, knowledge, and expertise behind the scenes, some of it well paid, much of it precarious and under-paid.
No way -- the FTC self-polices because of fear of losing a case. And precedent deters the FTC -- one borderline enforcement action that gets overturned either by a lower court or an appeal court spells a complete disaster for their leadership. That's why a single tech company with an effective legal strategy and deep pockets can upend whatever enhanced enforcement capacity this new "weapon" poses.
The surface area isn't always all that big. The student's essay, cited in the article, had to do with comments she made within the walls of a college classroom. And I think that essay (if I didn't mix it up with another one) talked about students getting lambasted on social media for their comments in class.

I think among the action items that TFA suggests for discussion, another could be: "What happens in class stays in class." If a student needs to be called out for egregious behavior, that can be handled by the teacher.

Also, things like electronically submitted essays and papers need to be deleted from any kind of server or database once the class is finished.
Chomsky, for all his intellect and raw brainpower still falls prey to American exceptionalism. I don't fault him either, but the United States is - for now - not a party to this conflict and if they are not willing to guarantee a cease fire they have no place at the table. It has already been proven that any treaty with Russia regarding Ukraine is worth zilch so without a very large stick to back it up there is no point to even go there.

Also, I think the analogy of Mexico joining China is way off base, and an overly simplistic view of everyday reality in Europe.
If you think about it, cars can manage cooling 200+kW with a radiator - and a lot of airflow.

I'm not sure that any of these ideas will be news to you, but a few suggestions:

- Add test coverage for your customizations, so that after you pull upstream changes, you can confirm that your software still works (or at least runs)

- Relocate and/or rewrite the custom code within your repository so that you are less likely to encounter merge conflicts when retrieving upstream changes

- If possible, fetch upstream changes on a regular basis so that you detect upcoming conflicts early

- If possible, petition the upstream project to add support for plugin modules, so that you could develop your own customizations in isolation (albeit still with some API-level dependencies on upstream)

Are your customizations definitely specific to your own company? (a gold standard could be to publish your own software as FOSS and attempt to build a supportive community)

I think Lean Startup has fallen out of favor in recent times and hasn’t kept up with modern trends.

Lean Startup can be boiled down to: don’t waste time and resources on things that are not necessary or that people don’t actually want. Wow, such wisdom.

In old days, a lean startup looked much different, more rough and scrappy. Nowadays that doesn’t really fly, and everything comes with polished facades straight out the gate, or else you have no chance.

Lean startup was meant for a time when building big things upfront was difficult and time consuming. Nowadays if you know how to leverage technology, you can build impressive things very quickly, and you must, because if you don’t your competitors will and they will win because today’s consumer is too burnout from cheap looking startups that disappear overnight because they decide they had the “wrong assumptions” about their customers.

In a world where building things gets increasingly cheaper and easier, Lean Startup is too cautious and slow and has no value.
Illness and/or the prospect of death usually destabilizes dictatorships, as the regime's supporters try to secure their positions by selecting a successor who will preserve the status quo (or a favorable change).

I think Putin believed that this would be a quick victory, capturing the Eastern oblasts, and either negotiating a settlement with the Ukrainians, or conquering the country and installing a puppet regime. This is what most analysts seem to have expected, and the fierce Ukrainian resistance is what's forced the West to implement strong sanctions.

> stuck in a rut where each area of code only has one maintainer/gatekeeper.

Why do you assume it's a rut? It might be an organizational liability but it can be a great while it's working. It's common folklore that design by committee leads to poor outcomes, or at best average outcomes completed slowly.

Why assume that we need to build code by consensus or a series of interchangeable cogs?

I mean those are possible outcomes. It's also possible they may make simple changes and have a more accessible webpage.

Given they already have a site and pay for hosting and a domain name, that seems like they might see having the site might be seen as a sunk cost.
"I'd be fine with CRT if practiced properly is" is a weird statement.

It's a critical academic framework. "Practiced properly" it's something academics debate. There is no "proper practice" beyond applying the generalized methodology by examining outcomes and asking whether they're the result of bias.

Hmm feels like there is a bit of a misunderstanding on the meaning and cost of threads and how the OS schedules work from threads onto logical CPUs and what state they are in. It is expected that processes might use more than 1 thread, and it is expected that you would have more processes than logical CPUs. Can not-dead process exist without a thread at all? I'd expect not.

7000+ threads does seem like a lot though and agree there is the general lack of caring about resource consumption in all forms, eg Electron apps. At this point having lots of threads seems almost expected by various OSs and something they solve for to reduce the cost of it so the user doesn't have to worry about it.

Ask HN: How did you respond to finding school too easy?
My son will enter kindergarten soon. But he's mastered the main grade-level content already. He can read a few grade levels ahead, comprehend texts 1-2 grade levels ahead, can do math ~1 grade level ahead. He's also learning fast, so will be even further ahead when August rolls around.

I'm sure many folks reading this were in a similar situation, and may have been forced to work on stuff that was 'too easy'.

Do you remember how you felt?

Did it slow down your learning (due to lowered expectations, wasted time etc.), or was it 'fine'?
You'd be surprised at how big of an effect "trivial" mitigations like this have when you're defending against what amounts to a sea of script kiddies.

There are problems with the NYT essay, but this is not one.

Not unique or limited to Python.

Floats (fractions and decimals) are only approximations. It is not possible to represent some of them with complete accuracy within the limits of finite binary storage.

In many cases, scaled integers are a better alternative. For example, when dealing with money/dollars, work with pennies and convert to dollars and cents for display using a simple division/modulus function.
