I tracked down Eisenhower's conversation with Zhukov, and note how -- in context -- sounds a lot more reasonable, with not one single mention of NKVD shooting their own troops:

> "“Highly illuminating to me was his description of the Russian method of attacking through mine fields. The German mine fields, covered by defensive fire, were tactical obstacles that caused us [the western Allies] many casualties and delays. It was always a laborious business to break through them, even though our technicians invented every conceivable mechanical appliance to destroy mines safely. Marshal Zhukov gave me a matter-of-fact statement of his practice, which was, roughly, ‘There are two kinds of mines; one is the personnel mine and the other is the vehicular mine. When we come to a mine field our infantry attacks exactly as if it were not there. The losses we get from personnel mines we consider only equal to those we would have gotten from machine guns and artillery if the Germans had chosen to defend that particular area with strong bodies of troops instead of with mine fields. The attacking infantry does not set off the vehicular mines, so after they have penetrated to the far side of the field they form a bridgehead, after which the engineers come up and dig out the channels through which our vehicles can go.’”"

And if yields rise enough, a lot of money will leave the stock market. TINA will be over.
I disagree. I think what’s shaking up the markets is a fear that the fed will not return to QE - i.e. the QE experiment has failed and will be shutting down.

If however they do resume QE, expect markets to fly to new heights.
> If someone does something really strange, we have to interpret it as a rational action in a strange value system?

Pretty much, yes. That's the only way you get any useful information.

Look, everyone knows that people sometimes make choices they later regret. That does not refute the rational actor model, because the rational actor model is about what they knew and what their hidden preferences were in the moment, at the time they made the choice. That includes preferences they may not even understand themselves. To refute the rational actor model you would need to show that the person knew there was a better choice, one whose a priori expected outcome was superior in all respects from their own point of view, and deliberately decided not to take it. Since you can't know how they valued all the possible outcomes from their point of view—they don't even know that—that means it can't be refuted at all. It's a framework for understanding people's revealed preferences, not a means of empirically predicting their behavior. At best you can use it to say that if people prefer A over B then they will choose A and not B, but it doesn't tell you whether a person will actually prefer A over B at any given point in the future, even if you can infer from their actions that they did in the past. Preferences change; circumstances change. No two choices are ever made in exactly the same context.

> We know people are not perfect logicians, why pretend that they are?

It's not a matter of perfect logic. It's saying that people (are assumed to) pick the course of action that seems to lead to be best outcome from their own point of view. That can, of course, include others' well-being, if they value such things. There is no requirement that their expectations be perfectly logical, or grounded in perfect knowledge.

There is a separate principle, not part of the rational actor model, which basically says that people either learn to hold expectations which closely align with reality over time or tend to lose wealth, and thus influence in the economy, over time. This implies that most of the economically significant actions are taken by those who make decisions they are not likely to later regret. Of course this breaks down a bit when poor decisions get subsidized, propping up the economic influence of poor decision-makers.
Reading these comments, it's amazing how hard it is to be a responsible person these days.

They have been considering this too, but realistically this is a little known service, there are thousands of it like it, and the affected user count is only in the thousands. I don’t know if any of these people would care in the first place. I will tell an anonymous person to try regardless.
Which deadly diseases has plastic been linked with?

Is the endocrine content of BPA any worse than drinking soy milk?

Bioaccumulation of microplastics may be a different story. It may pose an inflammation risk, serve as a safe harbor for bacterial colonies, or be carcinogenic, but as far as I'm aware there haven't been any studies showing this.
I'm not sure what your argument is here - they are recycling waste plastic to have commodity value as a building material already
The issue is you don't have perspective.

I lived through the Japan crash, which is the biggest crash in my lifetime, as well as the early 80s government layoffs (where my dad really thought he would be unemployed), 1992 (when I thought I would lose my job), the dotcom (where I knew good people who were out of work for a year or more), and 2008.

So far this is exceptionally mild. There are not mass layoffs - there are layoffs and hiring freezes, but nothing like 2001 - and there are not people taking pay cuts or worried that if they have to leave their job they will need to take one. We are far, far from 2008 and even farther from 2001.

I have tried to explain what the dotcom was like to young people and the usual response has been: "What is the big deal? I would just find a new job and probably get a pay bump as well."

I am not saying this to pick on young people in technology but rather to help illustrate how far from reality they are when they talk about how unfortunate they've been graduating into tech in the aftermath of 2008. 2008 was barely a blip on the tech scene. A real down market is something most of them have never experienced and not one that they are internalizing. There has been a ton of "we graduated into the worst job market ever!" propaganda pointed at millennials who have internalized it. It isn't true unless you were in finance or real estate.
Improving Performance on Complex Diffs
This is a thing, yeah, unfortunately. Some channels have really awful bridges like the #calyxos channel on Libera that bridges to matrix but doesn't puppet its users. So all messages seem to come from the same user and you lack nick colours etc.

And indeed, it really thins out the discussions because not all channels are bridged usually.
In my opinion LaTeX is a poor fit for markdown, although it is the logical—and probably the only—choice. Markdown documents are supposed to be easy to read and quick to type. LaTeX is neither. When I include a matrix in my markdown document I want to type it something like:

## Example Matrix

$$$
[a, b; c, d]
$$$

Although I realize that we are probably stuck with LaTeX for the foreseeable future as the only way to type math in text files.

Disclaimer, I am an author of an alternative math markup language specifically designed to be a good fit in Markdown.

I’d be very cautious about joining any kind of “militia” because even though there probably are well intentioned people that want to serve their communities, most are honeypots full of law enforcement and informants.

Great job for being so conscientious about responsible disclosure.
Currently a product owner. I’m in the process of going back to development full time. The day to day rollercoaster of ambiguity is not my thing. Some days are easy, others are chaos. Hasn’t been good for my mental health. I miss the days of having a task with clear acceptance criteria and a feedback loop that’s easy to identify and optimize. God I miss coding.
It’s not that dark:

>When the Federal Reserve propped up A.I.G. in September 2008, unlike its approach with most of the big banks, it threw out the company’s chief executive and took control of 79.9 percent of the company, nearly wiping out many of its shareholders. Taxpayers got all of their money back, and then some, receiving a profit of more than $20 billion.

(https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/16/business/dealbook/surpris...)

Enacted since then, Title II of the Dodd-Frank Act sets up bailouts to be “forcing shareholders and creditors to bear the losses of the failed financial company, removing management that was responsible for the financial condition of the company (…)”.
That's only economical for a small fraction of plastics, we are sending a huge amount to landfill right now. The bar for turning into brick could well be smaller, in which case it could be done with plastic which would otherwise go to landfill.
From what you’re describing it sounds a bit like a crypto honeypot … there’s a lot of sites that pose as crypto exchanges but are actually scams, they deliberately expose credentials and have accounts with (fake) millions of dollars in crypto money in them.

Except, when you go to withdraw there’s usually some restriction where you can only withdraw to another site account, so you sign up and are forced to deposit some crypto to activate your new account. Then you’ve lost your money.
Sure, but the threshold between "Retina" vs Non-"Retina" is somewhat arbitrarily decided by Apple, and it's also a registered trademark that only Apple owns.

It's like arguing whether or not macbooks are "ultrabooks". Choosing to discuss using these terms is ultimately just allowing these companies to arbitrarily control discussions. I think we should try to resist corporate capture of language when possible.

Consider the context of the parent comment. If I can barely notice individual pixels on my 1080p monitor with good vision at a normal viewing distance, then surely the difference between a 4K screen and a 2K screen can't be that noticeable, even to a professional artist (who probably has more ideal viewing conditions, a more trained eye, and lower viewing distance).

Looking at apple's website, their MacBook Air (which I assume is their main model?) has a "retina" resolution of 2560x1600 with a 13.3' display, whereas the framework has a resolution of 2256x1504 with a 13.5' display. So they are about the same, except that one is marketed as "Retina" and one is not.
To be fair, compilers and linkers can be thought of as pure functions (if we ignore stuff like including timestamps in builds e.g.). They have no special requirements language-wise. You can write them in any general purpose programming language. Even Brainfuck will do (for one-file programs fed through stdin). No argument about the others though.

Although I guess JIT compilers may be classified as systems programming, since you need to do some OS-specific tricks with virtual memory during execution of the compiler.
Coffee can exacerbate anxiety attacks for me, and make my asthma worse. Everyone is different though so even if most ppl experience no effects, that doesn’t mean the same applies to you.

My suggestion is to just keep a journal, cut it out and see if it improves. If it does, then it likely has to do with the coffee.
"Always be the worst player in your band."

Sounds like it's time for you to look for a new job.
Does not scream 10x to me. Your description sounds like you are simply very experienced at this job and the software made and used there. A good senior developer, who has spent a long time at the job should be like that. I think 10x is nonsense anyway, except if compared to subpar developers. You are probably good at thinking about edge cases, while others are too inexperienced or lazy to take care of those.

Sticking to a job can enable you to know most or all of the software there. Over time it forges the connections in the brain, that make you immediately think of important aspects and how things work together. It is good, that people realize, that they should include you in architecture meetings and such to get your input on things.

What you can do is, that you present problems you are thinking about and ask other developers for their input. Maybe even, if you already got a solution. You can also act as a mentor to get them up to speed. It can be very satisfying, if you manage to guide someone else to some learnings and then see how they are able to solve things on their own using that knowledge. Teaching is a very important thing one can do in society.

Also do not forget, that not everyone wants to work at high capacity all the time. People can also lean back a bit, when someone very reliable will take care of the problems. Perhaps decide to not influence some project at all for a change.
It's entirely possible to dance the tango on a minefield too.

I question the cost benefit analysis of such a course of action however.

Given two otherwise identical people, one narcissist and one not, which one would you pick for an interaction?

Which one would you pick in a job interview?

Which one would you pick to date?

And that's the gist of it, if I don't have to, why would I ever interact with a narcissist again?

I disagree:

1. All cases of MS does not have to be caused by similar antibodies.

2. MS usually progresses through attacks. Antibody may only be present when an MS attack occurs.
The plastic has already been produced, so it's already an environmental problem, this repurposes it, one way or another it's going to break down and end up somewhere.
How would you compare Vangelis and Isao Tomita? Tomita was marrying synth with classical at about the same time or even a little earlier, to widespread acclaim and success.

A couple other names I think of when I think early serious synth work are Jean-Michel Jarre and Larry Fast. Where would you put them in synth history?
Yes I understand. That's why the support is for the lulz. It's difficult to communicate tone over text.

Because we need studies (ideally, funded by the same corporations that poison us) to tell us that having increasing quantities of plastic in our blood, lungs and other organs is bad.

What happened I wonder to the precautionary principle? Maybe that's going to be our collective lamentation when we crash at warp speed into some sort of great filter.

Military members still have freedom of speech rights. More tightly regulated in some instances than civilians, but the right isn't taken away. Even as a civilian there are restrictions on your freedom of speech.

Similar for the fourth amendment. There are exceptions for civilians, and a different set of exceptions for military members, based on government need.

The Constitution applies to all US citizens, military or not.
In Catholicism, at least, as long as you ask forgiveness, you get your ticket to heaven. I was just watching a clip of Martin Scorsese talking about how he grapples with this in his films. Many of his characters are monsters, but they observe the rites, so according to the church, they should be forgiven. He talks about struggling with the notion that these people that inflicted so much pain would be given their eternal reward, alongside those who were good, just for going through the motions.
Most people didn’t run their own irc network either, they just operated a channel and backed up the data themselves.
I feel like there is a danger of going through life sizing up people as narcissists and being selective about who you reveal yourself to. I've definitely been guilty of that myself. It can create unnecessary stress and anxiety. Further, it strikes me as potentially encouraging use of the narcissist's tactics themselves, allegedly abhorrent as they are; one can just as easily re-brand your "no contact" as "silent treatment" and accuse you of being manipulative.

All that is to say ... Do what you want in who you choose to associate with, and it's ok to not let some people get too close. But try to avoid doing so in a judgemental, stigmatizing, labelling, or aggressive way. Keep these things lightly and open room for the idea that it's more of a simple misunderstanding rather than existential conflict. And don't stress about it too much.

> Compilers can (and do) reorder instructions to extract as much parallelism as possible. Further, SIMD has forced most compilers down a path of figuring out how to parallelize, at the instruction level, the processing of data.

Peephole optimizations are literally just rewrite rules and very limited in what they can accomplish, but we can't find an even moderately reliable way to optimize larger bits of the program. Auto-vectorization is still so bad that even unskilled devs can probably do a better job by hand.

> Further, most CPUs now-a-days are doing instruction reordering to try and extract as much instruction level parallelism out as possible.

This is true and proves my point rather than yours. If the compiler could do the job, then the VLIW output would be faster and not require OoO execution. It's telling that the fastest versions of Itanium were the ones that took the incoming VLIW commands and ripped them apart into a traditional OoO instruction window effectively negating the whole idea while preserving the externally-facing ISA.

> Figuring out what instructions can be run in parallel is a data dependency problem, one that compilers have been solving for years.

If they solved it years ago, then why do we get such MASSIVE ILP boosts from bigger instruction windows? Why is 2-3 instructions of throughput the maximum efficiency we can get from in-order systems?
Fair enough. I dont think they are planning to use any information.
>Currently any Ask/Tell HN stories are very hard to read for me, since it's gray text on yellow-ish background. Most UI on HN has a color contrast of 3.54 (Foreground: #828282, Background: #f6f6ef) and it's super uncomfortable.

That's one of many passive aggressive bits of operant conditioning pg originally added for quality control - meant to punish text-based posts by making them more difficult to read the longer they are.

Many countries have hacking laws that are exceptionally broad, written in the 1980s by legislators who had never even touched a computer. A law might, for example, ban "gaining unauthorized access to a computer system"

This means that if you accidentally find what looks like a security problem, and you look around a bit to make sure you're not raising a false alarm - you're already in violation of the law.

If your country has any such laws, to claim credit for your discovery would be to admit to a crime.

And while you might not have done anything you think of as hacking, put yourself in the mindset of the site operator. They might feel as if you've put a gun to their heads, or that scaring you into shutting up and deleting any data you've downloaded is them protecting their customers - they might go to the cops and give the cops a very different perspective.

I am really confused about this. It does not make sense to me.

Do you mean that it is difficult to cure? Because that is not the same thing as incurable.

If people can be socialized into it, why can't they be socialized out of it?

15% of the population is incurably emotionally broken? And most of them were made, not born, because they spent too much time on Instagram, and now they are part of the 15% of the population that is cursed to a life of narcissism, no matter how much effort is put into curing them?

Isn't it possible that you can just mature and become less solipsistic? Aren't these behaviors situational? What if you were put in an environment where someone got negative feedback for narcissistic behavior?

There must be something I am missing, because those claims do not seem realistic.
