I don't think this will be the case this time.

In wealthy societies, housing becomes a way to store generational wealth. In the USA, the complaints about high housing prices seem to ignore to how much housing costs in other countries. 10x homeprice to income ratios are very common abroad. There's nothing inherently unreasonable about that. It means location accrues a long time value, and land becomes a more favored asset class.

US is somewhat unique, in that undeveloped land was effectively worthless for the longest time, and cheap horizontal expansion was possible because of the car, still so in the 70s. That is why Americans are fairly unique in thinking of housing as a commodity (it's just some some wood and bricks after all).

The conditions that enabled that though or over. Horizontal expansion (and thus commodification) is no longer sustainable, and we will see an ossification of the urban landscape, freezing value in place. It's a ratchet upwards.

The only way out is boost supply through heavy infill, which is possible in some US metros, mainly the ones with depopulated urban cores (fly-over country basically). It's going to be much much much harder on the coast. Since the average American (who's in their 50s) absolutely loathes what densification seems to imply (pedestrians, cyclists, and mixed income, riffraff), I don't really see that happening at any kind of scale or fast enough to ease pressure on prices.
Yes, some Blu-rays when given an internet connection will fetch new trailers.

I feel like we're on the brink of nuclear war, and I'm thinking about asymptotic behavior of webapp stacks...and I'm okay with that!

I would guess that both PHP and Rails/React (and Java, C#, Python) folk will have all the work they can stomach, if they can stomach it. Consider how in-demand COBOL programmers are these days!
We were writing a reply together it seems. 100% agreed on this.
I see, there are indeed solutions like regfile duplication to handle large port number but it's expensive when physical regfile becomes large. I still think that the uarch's job is to ensure minimal implementation cost ;).

Thank you for your opinion and thought process, it's very valuable !
>they are chasing huge exits and being a founder is incredibly stressful.

Are they really? I think they're workaholics chasing an escape. True success is the worst outcome they could imagine, because then they'd have to tend to the rest of their life. Why be a serial founder, if its so horrible and stressful? Why keep working yourself to death after your first $10M, $100M, or $1B? Why is it never enough?

People have self-destructive instincts that are disguised in socially acceptable (or worse, praised!) forms. We shouldn't ignore the actions of founders when trying to make sense of their words.
I wish them well, but Kiwix was very clunky as I remember it.
Personally, I'd be willing to pay a per-user licensing fee for such a browser if it was the real deal.
It IS true, though.
The other amazing benefit for this plan is that batteries are expected to fail and loose capacity after a few years. So being able to easily swap the most vulnerable component is awesome for long-term repairability!
I used an Ubuntu 21.10 installer recently, it was completely uneventful to set up with the default side-by-side configuration and actually easier than the Windows one (which must create a Windows account, you can then disconnect this from your local account later with a magic settings dance).
Yeah, I can imagine that being particularly easy to implement in VRoom! exceptions are handled synchronously at the end of the pipe (with everything before them already committed, and everything after flushed). Instructions that can convert to exceptions (like loads and store taking TLB misses) essentially hit two different functional units - a conditional exception would be tested in a branch/ALU unit and then transition into an effective a no-op or transition into
an d exception and synchronise the pipe when they hit the commit stage
Yes,

kill -ABRT pid

should do it
Can’t grab a link right now but that’s from the Mariupol mayor’s office and reported in The Economist this week. 4000 dead certified at the morgue but 20000 is mayor’s estimate. Doesn’t seem unreasonable an estimate given the backlog and reports of corpses in the street yet to be collected, along with missing persons from bomb shelters etc
I created a tiny library to make hooks out of classes a while ago. Just posted on Show HN after seeing this.

> The other Caesar has no such presence in my daily life!

Apart from having set up the modern calendar (slightly adjusted in the XVII century) and having a whole month named after him, and a few other minor things such as the original conquest of Britain ...

Battery tracking leads to ads. Ads lead to the dark patterns of the force.
The flip side of that is that the group you described is the one most likely to not need to charge every day. My experience was that 200 miles was a pretty reasonable amount for a full week. If I'm honest, most weeks I'm well under 100 miles.

With fast chargers a weekly grocery trip or a charger near the office would probably satisfy most needs. Tesla claims that 15 mins. yields a 200 mile range. My gas hog Pathfinder gets about 250 miles between fillups that last about 10 minutes (bathroom and snack breaks when I'm on a road trip). It seems that range anxiety is kind of overkill. To be honest I'm surprised that coffee shops, and fast service restaurants haven't been installing chargers.
I'm not persuaded that the stated facts lead inevitably to the conclusion they reached. From another article (linked from the Verge post):

"* YouTuber Luke Miani decided to test whether or not the machine is actually upgradable through a series of comprehensive tests…"

"* Miani took the wiped SSD from the second machine and inserted it in the open slot on the first machine, but the Mac’s status light blinked SOS and it wouldn’t boot up"

"* He then swapped the SSDs between two Mac Studios and found again that neither would boot"

"* In a disappointing move, it appears that Apple has locked user-upgradability in software (the device recognizes the SSD, but Apple stops it from booting)."

Given Apple's recent attention to security at the hardware/firmware level, it is possible that, for example, Apple is requiring some type of hardware authentication from the SSD, and not simply to prevent the user from upgrading their SSD. (Along the same lines as the T2 chip, is what I'm imagining.)

I'm not a security person, so I don't know if this is likely. I'd be interested in the thoughts of any of you who do know this stuff. Is there a valid security purpose that could explain this?
While Christopher Alexander will be mainly remembered for A Pattern Language, I do think he was onto some really interesting philosophical ideas in his attempt to define life as an analog (as in, not binary) value of structure. He didn't have the words or precise knowledge to do it in The Nature Of Order series, but you can see him scratching at it.

Life is defined currently in a nebulous way that is primarily an internal property of an entity. When determining if an individual entity is alive we look inside it and dissect it into its components to determine whether they are organic.

I think what Alexander was trying to get at was that life is a presence of certain patterns. He identified these patterns through an architectural lens as 15 patterns. He is clear that there are less than 15, he just found it easier to teach these patterns to architectural students as 15 different patterns. These patterns are things like deep interlock between patterns (think of a complex carpet) strong borders and a diversity of scale in elements. Crucially these patterns are not an inherent property of some element, but rather a property that arises out of relationship with other elements.

I see a lot of truth in these ideas in that I think it makes far more sense to see life as an arrangement of matter into certain shapes that give rise to self-perpetuating and mutually reinforcing patterns. Christopher Alexander came at this idea from trying to articulate what exactly is so suffocating about modern architecture (and why it feels so anxiety inducing and alienating) but I think the implications are for Christopher Alexander characteristically broad.

I hope people like Nikos Salingaros continue going down this road.
My mental model: The VC model is about making a spread of bets where at least one of them will produce a huge return, so the average investment will be in a company that's irrationally overambitious.
What is the fallacy?

Yes, I have/use economic models in my life.
The difference is I don't use them to justify changing the life of millions of people, not even my own family.
I advice them, and tell them what is in my opinion in what best to do. But I always start with "I am not a financial advisor".
Talking about economy now one can be 100% sure about anything.

Now change the camera to the hundreds of "economists" making predictions without any track record, without any disclamer and with 100% certains.
Not just "TV"/news economists, I live in Europe, which has 27 Financial Ministers, when there is a crisis all off them always come out announcing "measures" as they know how we get out of the crisis, that none of them imagined it could happen, but knows for sure how to get out of it...

I actually don't have anything against Krugman (that actually won the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic): https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/paul-krugman-internets-eff...
He never aknowledge his error, didn't even reflected why he failed this, and how to avoid it in the future, and no one asks him about it...
And he is one of the "best" ones.

The news is full of this kind of "predictions" and "economic models", that are mostly wrong all the time, and then we come back and ask the same guys how to fix things now? What credibility to they have? As much as me?
This actually sounds doable if the battery charging trailer is self driving (and self docking). You would lose only minimal time slowing down for the docking/undocking. Easier to test on select pieces of highway with predictable self driving conditions. And the highway gives you space and time for charging, when you need it most for long trips.
Do you have a non-youtube link, something readable rather than requiring to watch a video?
The Apple-1 display uses some ideas from the TV Typewriter (shift-register storage, another shift-register for a line, 2513 character ROM). But it is different in many ways, much simpler (the TV typewriter is 4 boards), and improved (24x40 display instead of 16x32 for instance).
Falsifiability doesn't govern truth.

If I claim you felt angry when typing this, can I falsify it?
> You aren't entitled to anything anyone creates.

I don't think that's always true even now, but it certainly shouldn't be. When something becomes of a part of our culture, and our history, it belongs to all of us. No one is entitled to anything someone else creates until it is shared. Once it is, ownership is also somewhat shared.

If someone wants to write a song and have total control over it they just need to keep it to themselves because once I hear it, I naturally have a right to hum that tune to myself for the rest of the day, or to sing it at the top of my lungs. If someone wants total control over a story they write they should keep it to themselves because once I hear or read it, it's my natural right to be allowed to remember it, think about it, talk about it with others, and retell it in my own words. Before copyright this was the norm. Stories and songs were written and sung, others heard them, repeated what they remembered, added in their own changes and continued to share.
If someone designed an illustration, or a bridge, or a garment, once others saw it, they could study it and incorporate those designs into their own works freely. Improving and modifying those designs however they liked.

Telling people that they are forbidden from saying, writing, or re-telling certain things to anyone is a massive imposition on our freedoms. We created copyright knowing it would be a special exception to the norm. It gave special rights and privileges to content creators which would allow them to circumvent our rights and limit what we can say or write or share for a limited time, and in exchange for the brief imposition on our freedoms to reward and encourage creators, copyrighted works were supposed to enter the public domain and after that everyone could freely access and use them.

It's wasn't even a terrible idea, but it's been perverted and corrupted into something that does more harm than good to creativity and progress. Now copyright lasts forever, and if somehow after centuries a copyright does manage to lapse, DRM can still keep those works from ever reaching the public. The copyright on most of what we think of as media doesn't even protect creators at this point, just the corporations who purchased the copyrights from the creative minds responsible for the work. Basically, the contract between creators and the public good has been completely broken. Th media industry paid to have and keep the power of law on their side, but in terms of "entitlement" and morality, they lost the high ground ages ago.
We don't have a very good understanding of the genetics of many of these traits. Intelligence is especially thorny, involves numerous genes, and is probably only about half hereditable which is actually reasonably high.

We're likely to get a bunch of tall people, until everyone remembers they die younger due to cardiovascular strain. We'll probably wipe out most single gene hereditable diseases, which will be great. We're also somewhat likely to see fads around eye color in "designer" babies. We may also get people selecting for a single gene that make for great endurance athletes.

Anything much beyond that is science fiction in the near future. The knock on effects of tinkering with more than a handful of well understood genes is going to be really dangerous.

Quick Edit* There are around 1000 genes that have some bearing on intelligence. The 22 most impactful together account for 5% of variation.
if you're asking whether we could sequence 7 billion people, yes, it would be absolutely possible. Obtaining samples would be harder than the sequencing. If you really took this seriously there would be only 3 sequencing sites in the world and they would be located close to the largest datacenters. Each sequence is about 100G data (the raw data file that's shipped around) so if you really wanted to keep all of that it's 700 exabytes, but since you're sequencing everybody, you can instead create a tree structure of deltas from references with additional nodes representing major haplotypes and other structure. This would be more like ~1M-1G/person, so 7 petabytes to 7 exabytes, well within the storage limits of a modern datacenter cluster. To go along with that storage, you'd also need ~1M fast CPUs and ~250K fast GPUs, plenty of RAM, and a really good privacy and security story.

All of that could be formatted for large-scale analytics and the problem treated much like machine learning/data science problems in ads and other similar areas.

If you're really serious, this is just a bulk buy for one of the data center providers and they would be happy to make a fixed profit margin contract to do this for you. I helped set up all the infrastructure to enable google to do this ~10 years ago (I got a patent on compressing DNA for storage) and now they're at the point of hosting this sort of service (terra bio). I could do everything I described above for $25B but there is absolutely no medical reason to do anything of this scale.
I'll add that freq scaled Dhrystone (DMIPS/MHz) is a particularly useful number because it helps you compare architectures rather than just clocks - you can figure out questions like "If I can make this run at 5GHz how will it compare with X?"
Ah, ok, it only searches Google code, figures... I still have fond memories of the long-defunct Google Code Search and was wondering if they revived it without me noticing, but alas, they didn't...
Not just derived, but some of these can be seen as a claim to a title (in that, there can only be one). That becomes interesting when multiple people/institutions have claimed it at the same time. For example: the Ottoman Empire and the Catholic Church. When the ottomans sacked Constantinople, the Sultan Mehmed assumed the title Ceaser. Interestingly, although they adopted the title officially and used it a lot internally, for diplomatic purposes they would massage the wording a bit when conversing with western countries under the influence of the Church.

Ah, interesting. I wasn’t aware of that.

I even checked endoflife.date, but it looks like they aren’t aware either!
Honestly, I have learnt to reply with we think Y was the best option to bring the discussion back on track. In the case where the person insists to try X, I ask them - How would you do it? More often than not, the conversation ends there. If not, I ask the to make a proposal and convince the team to do X.

The question of that form is akin to “proving a negative”
The origin file system is pretty pointless, but it is only one part of the spec. It is definitely intended that the local file system (whether a cloud k/v store or not) at least allows for moving data between completely different websites.

I think you make a good point about Safari's nonsense with browser data. The spec should require implementors to never clear out what they use for "local file system" unless the user explicitly says to, and only for the files selected for deletion. The old APIs like local storage/IndexedDB unfortunately assumed no browser vendor would be as dumb as Safari with their ridiculously short retention policy.
The summer before I graduated with an engineering degree, I interned at a company near Green Bay, WI. The company made it a mission to get interns together to hang out, do activities, and even paid for happy hours. It was an amazing summer and even the most introverted of engineers was hanging with everyone.

Not only do I agree with you about eating lunch with your co-workers, but I also think companies should try and create engagements within the workplace as well. Most do this in cringy, inorganic ways, but if done properly, this can create a vibrant and exciting workplace.

*Side note, I went on to work for that company after graduating. Turns out they only really did those things for interns. I hated my job and quit 6 months in.

I think the guidelines are pretty straightforward - pure politics is inappropriate for HN, but if it's some phenomenon of interest to hackers then it's okay: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

As to who decides, I believe it's a combination of user flagging and moderation by a few HN mods.
Out of curiosity are there any providers or products out there offering deterministic, pseudo-randomly generated IMSI's that rollover every e.g. few hours? So the provider would know who you are but anybody else trying to track you in the fashion done in this attack would be hindered.

Think of it like VPN for your cell signal.

Could it be a viable product? (...combined with other features to resist alternative tracking techniques lingering from the privacy-reckless design of the protocols underpinning our mobile infrastructure)
This is the New York Times at its best. While the newspaper continues its depressing decline and decay, it’s heartening to see that they still produce these kinds of stories with such fascinating historical detail and brilliant use of web technologies.

This is where I grew up, so the story and photographs resonated deeply.
I would typically plan for 60 km between swaps, which includes a healthy error margin (I owned a Gogoro 2+ when I lived in Taiwan a year ago). Gogoro advertises 110 km but that is at 25 kph which is unrealistically slow.

60 km actually goes quite far in Taiwan, which isn’t a very big place compared to eg the United States. Gogoro has an extensive network and you only range limited in rural areas like the east coast or the central mountains.
> The numbers are vastly higher than scientific estimates of how many people are in these groups. That suggests it’s become a form of self expression, which is just a way of denying reality.

I thought the data was based on surveys of how people identify themselves, which only shows that identification has changed with time. Maybe fluid gender identity is a stage of development that has been denied before; who knows? Why do you have to tell these people what to do with their lives?

Self-expression is denying reality? I don't know what that means, what one has to do with the other. One way of looking at it is that what is inside you is part of reality; you are part of reality. Anyway, you are criticizing middle schoolers for denying reality?

Again, why do you have to tell them what to do, what to feel? Who are you to do it?

> ...

The rest is mostly your self-expression, not some objective reality. You are welcome to it, of course.
Does your computer know as much about the scene as your phone/camera at the time of shooting it? I really don’t think that a computer can do the same computational photography as a real-time device, at least not with current formats.

It’s probably the same as AOT vs JIT — the proper solution would be to move more data to the computer where we have faster hardware and less resource-constraints, which would be the equivalent of profile-guided optimizations in my analogy (things like movement, maybe even some basic description of the scene based on NN and previously seen images)
Is this something a lot of people are missing with their microservice implementation? You need to be able to deploy each microservice independently of everyone else. If you have a change that's spread across multiple services, you should be able to just do them one-by-one in order. If you want to rollout a shared library, you should be able to just update your services one-by-one. If a coordinated rollout is required, then doesn't that kind of defeat the whole point of doing microservices?
At a fairly made up annual conversion of 1kW capacity to 750kWh actually produced per year, that’s an expected 750TWh of annual generation.

For comparison, the world currently consumes 24,000 TWh of electricity per year.

Indeed, at the current doubling rate we are less than a decade from producing more electricity from solar than today’s total electricity consumption.
Man I loved that game on my Amiga. I can't say I noticed the gradient appearing/going away.

I did notice that all the cockpits in the 40 Birds of Prey aircraft looked strangely alike, and that the radio chatter in Flight of the Intruder sounded the same every time.

Going a bit further back, on the C64, playing Echelon with the LipStik voice controller, you could shout all kinds of gross words and the game would happily respond as if every one of those words was "fire"...Fun memories.
