Education is a top goal of society. If you did not have professors, you would not have society as it is today.

Why is tenure so important?

You're surrounded by 20 year old blue haired angsty people who aren't dealing with their hormones. Tenure makes those profs not a target.
How can this be useful to investors? Can this predict when a startup is going to get more funding x months later (vs current funding)? That would be much more useful imo

Blind hatred based on the fact that they’re really exactly the same as ‘us’. It’s bizarre.
I think the goal of this right now is just to match the C version.

The C implementation of YJIT supported x86 Unix/Linux platforms, and it sounds like adding Windows and arm64 support, plus other improvements was a daunting task with the tools C provides.

Now it’s in Rust we’ll hopefully see further improvements quicker.
Random question, but why does this article not list the author?
Why does e.g. Ireland's poor treatment of the travelling community mean we need to defer to American interpretations of language? Is America such a shining paragon that everyone needs to copy their every action?

This is a lazy argument
Simple validation is easy enough to implement and will cover 99% of cases. For the rest you use verification, have the user activate their account before doing anything.

Which is a pet peeve of mine; I've got an older e-mail address that probably ended up on some list, now there's people from Thailand and the UAE registering accounts using that e-mail address. Now while my account is still secure (2FA, long password, the works), it doesn't stop people from using it. Services like this one webshop and Deezer and probably a few others do not wait for e-mail verification before allowing users to place orders or use their service, or at least the free trial part of it.
You don't lose the optimizations because of UB and aliasing rules letting them stay in, but the people who want to make C safer by simply defining all UB would lose you all these optimizations.

How so? Lack of stability? Bad resume if company investments fail?
Really nice! I like it a lot. One feature I miss there from my spreadsheet is the ability to track and get updated investment values automatically. I mean, it could be great to have a way to specify the number of stock for each investment account, the cost basis and then, have live record of the investment values. At the same time, it would give a better idea of capital gain tax implication.

> Where are you located that visa and MasterCard are charging 3%?

I am guessing the good old unregulated free market of the US of A: https://www.valuepenguin.com/what-credit-card-processing-fee...

There, banks and credit card companies offer huge perks and cash-back to card holders. That money must come from somewhere, and that's from the transaction fees paid by merchants (and transitively customers, as merchants still need to make a profit). AMEX has even higher transaction fees, which is why some businesses don't accept it.

The situation is now at an idiotic local maximum: if I don't use one of these cashbacks cards, I am losing money paying for my neighbor's air miles, as I don't get a discount anyway. You don't need a "technofix" for that, you need regulations that cap interchange fees like the EU.
I would be BEYOND shocked if any decent VC is hiring off cold applications even for basic entry-level positions. In fact, it's almost definitely a bad sign because it means that despite the VC's job being connected to capital, connected to startup people, entrepreneurs, etc -- in other words, their job is to have a huge and valuable network -- and despite these being high paying, prestigious jobs with wealth-creation potential - they have to put up a post soliciting random people to work for them?

Heck even in hedge fund circles there seems to be a meme around how cushy VC jobs are, but how it's very hard to transition into them. (Correct me if I'm wrong, this is my impression from IG hedge fund meme pages).

The role of VC job postings are (1) give a superficial appearance that it's an open process, which is importantly especially for diversity virtue signalling and (2) serve as a public notification to warm connections that there is a job opening up. But trying to get a job at a VC by blind applying will have a low % success rate.

I share a Netflix account with 3 other people.

We’re on the biggest plan. Would not even consider subscribing if I had to pay it alone.

Sharing keeps me subscribed. Often I don’t watch something on Netflix for weeks - but cause I only pay 1/4 I don’t mind.

But the story still makes sense, doesn't it? If anything it now makes more sense in Foundation, where there is famously almost no mention of women in the books despite them presumably making up half the population.

I googled dwarven skin colour in LOTR and apparently it's not mentioned in the books, so I don't see any problems with a black dwarf.

There are several properties of blockchains that could improve upon our current financial structures.

1) Custody: with fiat, the concept of self-custody is "store your cash under your bed," and as we continue to move away from cash into digital money, this option is being eroded. In crypto, the concept of self-custody may be an EOA (account based on a private key) smart contract (such as a multi-signatory account), or some combination. This is not to say that all users should be choosing non-custodial wallets, but the ability to choose and diversify your assets across a range of these technologies is, in my opinion, better than having no choice at all.

2) Mitigating the need for intermediaries in certain situations. Currently to handle escrow of digital assets in fiat systems, you typically need to hire or use a third-party agency. In some cases escrow could instead be managed by a (cryptographically-verified) program execution, e.g. "transfer X domain name record for Y amount of stablecoin assets".

3) Privacy-preserving attestations via zero-knowledge proofs, which could use a public (decentralized) ledger so that all parties can verify the validity of the proof.

4) The immutable and public nature of smart contracts gives them certain properties we do not have with our traditional financial systems. For example Libor manipulation went unnoticed for several years; partly because the systems were closed and difficult to analyze. The public ledger is comparatively easy to analyze and difficult to manipulate. (The most common manipulations rely on social engineering; e.g. convincing somebody to sign a transaction, or buy ShitCoin2000.)

5) General security and operational improvements. Much of our traditional system is upheld by FORTRAN and questionable security methods (PINs, passwords, cell phone 2FA). Crypto currencies are extremely adversarial environments that are forcing new security models and cryptographic primitives: zk-proofs and zk-VMs, multi-party computation, new methods of private key storage and management, post-quantum cryptography. Hopefully some of these advancements (being funded by crypto currencies) will eventually spill over to other sectors.
Dunning-Kruger (as you are using it) is a myth, though.

My sincere hope is we revisit both uranus and Neptune within my lifetime.

Each has only been visited once and that was over 30 years ago with the Voyager missions. We learned a lot but now we have way better tech, way better cameras and can learn way more.

It takes a particular planetary alignment to make such a trip possible. The next such window is in the early 2030s. These outer Solar System missions are really expensive and take a long prep time so that window to prep a mission in time is rapidly closing. And that's to get there around 2040.

People don't realize just how hard it is to reach these outer planets. New Horizons was a flyby on Pluto because an intercept mission was essentially impossible. Crossing such a large distance to a slow-moving planet means a massive delta-V budget (which is impractical or impossible) or it takes so long you risk instrument or mission failure.

At least Uranus and Neptune have a much larger gravity well and have higher orbital speeds so gravitional capture is much more practical.

We won't see both visited in the next window but I'd settle for at least one.
Mathematical Foundations of Monte Carlo Methods
For me, it's good, because I like quite soft and low keys. They still do a mild click and it feels obvious if a key is pressed, but it's not pronounced like on higher-key/mechanical keyboards. What I personally like is that the keyboard is wide enough to have a dedicated num-pad and that the layout is closer to a full-size keyboard than on most other laptops I've had, Ctrl is in left-most position as with normal keyboards with Fn key to the right of it. The Delete/Ins etc are moved to the top row next to F-keys, but I've not found it difficult to adjust to.

No complaints so far about any keys stopping from working or feeling odd switching between it and my full-size more clicky keyboard.
The topic of development culture and processes in highly technical industries is fascinating to me. The Intel and Samsung drama is great.

> Lastly, I'm delighted that they acknowledge their influences from the cryptographic community with respect to rigorously quantifying notions of "hardness" and "indistinguishable."

Fun fact, that is because they ARE primarily cryptography people! Goldwasser is known for Blum-Goldwasser or Goldwasser-Micali crypto systems, while Vaikuntanathan is known for Zero Knowledge computations, both materials from any standard cryptography textbook!

(And they're great teachers, I was lucky enough to have them both as teachers in a class a few years back :) )
One of the things that goes unmentioned in these articles is the absolutely horrible UX in the app--why does every movie I consider have to start playing at 110dB as soon as I browse to it? I have to steel myself to open the AppleTV app (or mute my TV) to browse through their collection. Then there's the horrid algorithmically-generated posters for each movie...
Education Helps the Rich Stay Rich
certifications, flawed as they are, do show accumulation of new knowledge.
True, but it is not a tool that works for everyone.

In my case, I consider the Mac one of the cons of working at my current place of work. My days are filled with minor hassles that I could really do without. Doing simple things takes longer, and I have to deal with random freezes, slowdowns and even crashes that I did not have to deal with when using my own laptop for similar needs over the past couple of years (mostly dev related with minor content editing).

So again, it is a tool, but it is not the best tool for the job for every person, especially developers.
Does this mental giant know that modern databases use foreign keys to optimize queries, sometimes even eliding JOIN operations entirely if the schema, foreign keys, and other indexes make it safe to do so?

I’ve seen certain large-table queries improve by 10x when foreign keys were added.
They'll probably turn to advertising and lose more subscribers.

I read your comment, and then the next comment was literally the one you mentioned, which made the whole thing exponentially funnier.
> here is an attempt at summarizing what I took from these books into some bullet points:

> Education is more important than ever for helping rich people stay rich.
For elites, education is sort of about academics, but it also is about how to act rich. (“Act elite,” if you prefer.)
There is competition for elite jobs, but to even qualify for those jobs you have to act elite. Knowledge is more like a minimum. How you act, socially, is what will get you hired.
A lot of what happens in less-elite spaces is like a watered down version of this dynamic.
That’s all about timing though. It was obvious Russia hadn’t finished messing with Ukraine over Donbas, and even well beyond just that. What nobody knew was exactly what Putin would choose to do about it and when.
Why are you sure that AI will give the perfect answer, instead of multiple AI with different opinions like far-right-AI and far-left-AI proposing oposite "solutions" to the same problem?
I cast another vote for Framework. I understand the hesitation when it comes to betting on a new company, because I was also slightly anxious when I ordered my laptop. But now that I have it in my hands, I'm really happy with it. I've also done programming with the keyboard and it feels nice.

Concerning battery life: There are various tools like TLP[1] that help you optimize your energy consumption without much configuration. I get more than 6 hours of my machine when I'm coding on the go. However, I only have a few terminals with Vim and a web browser open. Some IDEs might need more power.

As someone who was blue collar for years before landing a tech job, I am amazed at how out of touch people are on here at times.
Yes, unmanned space projects are relatively cheap.
Another happy user of G14 here. I'm running the 2021 version with Ryzen 5900HS, 32Gb of RAM and 1440p screen. The screen is good, the laptop is quite light at ~1.6kg, the keyboard is OK too, but I tend to use an external one when at my desk.

I love the battery life, which is great when running on integrated graphics.

The CPU is great too, I'm satisfied with autocomplete speed in my IDE. I think the 5900HS is also quite power-efficient, maybe the Intel versions are more power-hungry, not sure. Another benefit is that the laptop stays completely silent, and only whirrs up when gaming or doing heavier workloads.

The GPU in my version is "just" the 3060 Mobile, but it's good enough for me, and there are costlier version with better GPUs.

The ports are good enough for me. There's one USB-C 3.2 Gen2 which I used to connect to a DisplayPort screen, and there's an HDMI port, which I use to drive a 4k@120Hz monitor. I also use one of the USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps) ports with a hub to run all peripherals (mic, webcam, keyboard, mouse).

WiFi was giving me problems on Windows (I have the MediaTek card), but that was fixed at the end of 2021. Another smallish issue is that there's no webcam, but I use a standalone cam anyway.
Motivation is important for your work. I would not be motivated by using some closed source, walled garden product from a company with business practices I don't like. Linux is absolutely good enough to get most development work done without issue. Even if Macs might be a slightly smoother experience in some areas.

I used to spend a lot of time to fiddle with Linux and my desktop in the past. You can do that if you want. But it's not necessary. Nowadays in 98% of the cases I say "good enough", in rare exceptions I might still use my freedom to fiddle and patch.
The problem is that only a small percentage of Americans are veterans in the first place, and an even smaller percentage are going to be qualified for certain industries. So if you're looking at, say, a 300-person software company, it's very possible they support veterans, want to hire veterans, and have 0 veterans on staff.

(There's also a huge difference between opposing military conflicts and supporting veterans, which is evident in the equal support for the VA among Democratic and Republican voters[1]).

Exactly!

This has been talked about for a while now, and I've never seen an explanation of what 'the rules' actually are - it's implied that it's supposed to be per 'household' (but obviously travelling is allowed) but then it says some of this is 'legitimate' being between 'family members'; so two related households are fine?

Honestly, it should just be that it's limited to people you're comfortable sharing the password with (total control of the account!) and the number of screens on your plan, as it is. I used to share with family and upgraded the plan when we used it more and found two concurrent streams wasn't enough.
Chemical Spill at Tesla Gigafactory Berlin in April
your use of "yardstick" (a measuring tool) confused people about what correlations you intended.
Seriously, I can't recommend anything but a Macbook Air to anyone who has $1000 to spend. Top comment is recommending a machine that gets 6 hours battery life. Wild.
The OA was excellent series and it's a shame that they cancelled it after the second season. Indeed, Netflix could really benefit from releasing smarter shows.
It used to be that if you wanted to watch a movie, you opened up Netflix. Nowadays you can't find what you want to watch on there, so people go to the places that do; Amazon Prime allows you to watch pretty much any movie (although often at a rental fee, which is a different discussion altogether), and the Disney empire has bought up tons of movie publishers and is putting all of them onto their streaming platforms.

Netflix pivoted to producing their own content years ago, seeing the contracts they had for other parties' films not get extended because they were building their own platforms. It's been hit and miss, mostly miss, but I'm assuming there's something for everyone, enough to keep people subscribed. But it's all very formulaic; they make something for every genre (from Attenborough nature documentaries to Scandi crime drama, via stupid game shows to Indian musicals) and see what sticks.

The number of things I still watch on Netflix can be counted on one hand. We rarely sit down to have a browse too, so I wouldn't know their current not-netflix film offerings either.
As you pointed out, consumers will feel the brunt at first, but when there's another economic event that tighten everyone's wallet, then some of those consumers, little-by-little, will return to piracy permanently, unless there's a single service to go to (basically music streaming now).
Thanks for the detailed feedback!

1. Definitely looking to add more degrees of freedom to Monte Carlo scenarios over time.
A couple examples: https://changemap.co/projectifi/projectifi/task/5736-flex-on...

3. Have you seen the Plot Builder? (open plot selector and hit new). Expenses are one of the metrics you can use.

4. Totally agree. Eventually I want this to show more than the deltas in the yearly summary, just haven't gotten to it yet.

5. I actually just added some more options for savings type goals to the early access site here: https://projectifi-201a2--dev-xsmyy9im.web.app. let me know if that helps at all.

7. I'd like to make some improvements here too. Losing data sucks, and I should take more steps to reduce the likelihood of that ever happening. I'll see if I can come up with a good approach that's not easy to take advantage of.
Seems to be a local minima in Europe that for a family to have enough resources, both partners need to have careers and full-time jobs. However two careers do not mix very well with a family perspective and having kids. Then some people wonder why the birth rates in EU are falling rapidly..
Doesn’t work (at least for me in Chrome with Tampermonkey) due to Hacker News’s Content-Security-Policy header.

Overriding this would probably require an extension with a Service Worker that edits the CSP header.
I'm not quite sure that I had this original thought myself or read it somewhere but an alternate definition of life is the ability of membranes to hold water. One of the first things to happen upon decomposing is the organism can't hold water anymore. I find it an interesting criteria that for example classifies virii as non living.
I imagine pirating is going to see a massive resurgence in the next 3 years.

The software around pirating has gotten so good, it's nearly as good as apps like Netflix & HBO Max now.
Not saying your feelings about the identity erasure are invalid, but I doubt it has much to do with declining birth rates. That's an old trend that goes back decades, and if anything has to do more with contraception and women's own decisions around work/family balance.
Godel's theorems mean something quite specific, and rely on an equally specific set of hypothesis.

It's tempting to try to apply them (or rather the same kind of conclusions) in other (non math) contexts, but it's very not obvious that you'll get something sensible. While you can play with the ideas, invoking Godel's theorem outside of its specific context doesn't make much sense.
You could update the screenshot now your link is near the top :)
I'm pretty sure the one guy behind ai. doesn't justify that you change your regex for him. Let's not be overly pedantic.
Something to be wary of: Razer has a bad reliability reputation, in conjunction with bad customer support. The glowing remarks usually come from people who Razer has a vested interest in pleasing.
Not to hurt your feelings but the fact you find it tiresome won't change anything, people aren't going to wake up one day and just decide its not a funny name.

We're not going to start to teach children classes on why it's wrong to laugh at the name Uranus.

I was just being practical when I said what I said. It's not a great name.
Fly.io (YC W20) Is Hiring Platform Engineers
Yes, but YJIT in rust is the same ~33.4% faster than vanilla CRuby than YJIT in C. The rewrite into Rust is expected to make YJIT easier to maintain and that may in turn make possible further improvements to code generation, but the rewrite generates the same machine code (and therefore the same speedup) as before.
It could, but I think at this point they'd rather have 10 million more subscribers than 100 million account sharing customers.
