> You want to play the mince-words game?

Calm down now...

The way to solve the problem you want to solve is with rights, constitutions, charters and such things, not definitions. Voting alone isn't sufficient for a good democracy. That's all I was pointing out.

> in the same way that one can “debunk” utilitarianism by invoking the Utility Monster.

I mean we literally have multiple living utility monsters, so that's not a very wise comment to make.
> I would say that comparing the purchase of gas to the purchase of uranium is uninformed, if not dishonest, for two reasons: - Fuel costs for nuclear is only 15-20% of the total cost, half of which is the uranium itself [1]. For natural gas, the majority of the cost is the fuel, even during "normal" times

What seems "uninformed, if not dishonest" to me is the argument that fuel price matters here. Imagine this: Your country needs seven doohickeys per year to run. What exactly those doohickeys are is unimportant; the only important thing is that you need then. Russia can provide you with four doohickeys per year. The rest of the world can provide you with only five doohickeys per year, and for many years they won't be able to provide any more than that. So you need at least two doohickeys per year from Russia, no matter what, otherwise your country stops running. So Russia can stop your country from running at any moment. Did you notice how price never entered this discussion?

> The reserves of Uranium across the globa are still huge, much of which can be found in (relatively) politically stable places such as Australia and Canada.

Reserves of uranium matter here much less than enrichment and fuel assembly production capacity. Russia has over 40% of enriched fuel production capacity (as per https://www.world-nuclear.org/information-library/nuclear-fu...). Until you build new plants for this, it doesn't matter that you can get natural uranium from Australia or Canada. You won't be able to do anything useful with it (unless your reactor is CANDU).
Yeah the art here is the prompt, the input to the machine. I usually say, that any act of human like work, or exercise or singing, or doctors, or engineers of any kind, will become information-analyst and engineer, information-analyst and doctor, information-analyst and painter.

That information analysis does not necessarily need to be performed by the same person. One is the information analyst, another one one is the painter, and they both in collaboration create some art paintings. I don't see any problem with that. Which one is the artist in that case? The information analyst or the painter, or maybe both? I would argue they are both artists.

I have personally prompted and generated hundreds of pieces of art, real art and awesome art, and anyone who tells me that i don't know what a Picasso is, doesn't know what he is talking about. Picasso was my favorite band for a long time!

Are you talking about actual snapping of the fingers or just tapping with the fingers on your skull? “Snapping” is a specific action with a couple of fingers to make a loud “snap” sound. If that is what you mean, I’m not clear how this operation can be performed.
I don’t think helmets would mitigate that risk. For comparison, should bicyclists be required to wear seatbelts?

https://dqydj.com/sp-500-return-calculator/

This site says SP500 with dividend reinvested is 270%.

I also feel like SP500 has a lot less risk because politicians are very incentivized to provide a backstop to SP500 price, but not as much to BRK.

Also, BRK is squeaking out 280% vs SPY 270% by being 25%+ invested in a single company, Apple. That is a lot of extra risk for not a lot of extra return.
What would “better” be in this context? The decision to merge a patch is functions correctly is necessarily opinionated.

> It’s like a decentralized Ponzi scheme

A Ponzi scheme is a type of fraud where someone lies about where the money paying off earlier investors is coming from - they say it comes from investment in some kind of business or other businesses, but it actually comes from later investors' investments.

The stock market is transparent, it is obvious that when you buy something, part of the return will come from a later investor buying it from you - that's the whole point of buying something.

It's not a Ponzi scheme if there's no-one lying about where the money comes from.
How many people even have coins in their car anymore, much less in their pocket? I have a small supply of coins in my car just in case but I imagine a lot of people haven't touched a coin or bill in years.
From reading their investor statements it was more complicated than that. They overpurchased inventory of goods that saw lowering demand as people started going back to the office or spending money elsewhere as pandemic restrictions lifted. Ex. People shifted discretionary expenditures from TVs to vacations. Given how tight the labor market is I don’t think we’ve really seen the impact of overall lower discretionary spending yet - that probably won’t play out until this coming holiday season.
That does happen, but has not in this case.

> Art became less and less about the sheer skill of reproducing a scene photographically. After all, a camera could now do that so well.

That art was ever mainly about this reeks like a modernist* lie to justify their dismal works. Look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanderer_above_the_Sea_of_Fog - is photorealism what made it good or famous? Is any random 100% photorealistic picture taken with a phone on a hiking trip therefore strictly better?

*Or whatever the art movement is called where three vertical lines or a banana taped to a wall are considered grand achievements.
I wonder if it would make sense to try something like per seat license based for business and to be like MIT for personal use?
Zotac ZBOX Series have always been absolutely solid for me, but they are not that cheap any more...

> Are their countries with negative nominal rates without asset bubbles?

That's very hard to know, but to be clear it's negative real rates that drive the bubbles. There's much more incentive to speculate when cash is a hot potato. For example Japan is much less bubbly these days than in the 1980s, even though nominal interest rates are lower now.

> Have their been high interest rate countries with asset bubbles? E.g., dutch 1600s interest rates or 16% during Tulipmania.

Presumably, that's why Tulipmania was confined to tulips, instead of spreading euphoria to absolutely every asset class. Even with high rates it's absolutely possible to have local bubbles in things like tulips, beanie babies, or Dogecoin. It only takes the promise of high real returns. When real interest rates are negative, even the promise of zero real return becomes mouthwatering.
it's cool.

but I really don't understand why RGB is the goto encoding, it's easy to get unwanted artifacts and longer training times. YCbCr is better imo, for some cases you can only use the Y channel for edge detection which is much faster and more compact. any ML engineers can shed some light on the topic? perhaps I'm missing something.
It is because we can recycle, in theory, BUT it's economically untenable in practice, witch means that so far nobody really do it on scale, only some experiments and promises for the future AND if done on scale like we know so far, simply because we need to recover some elements for mere production needs, not environmental reasons, well... The outcome will be around 60k€ for a very small city-car with 20-30kWh battery. Something too much expensive for almost anyone.

That's just one of the main issues. EVs would be very nice if they cost nearly the same of ICEs for similar distance ranges and target only retirees and teleworkers witch means some who do not/can not use a car every day and IF they own a small domestic p.v. so can wait a day to recharge from the Sun instead of the grid. Not more, so far. Honestly IMVHO in this scenario:

- cities will only be able to offer public transportation GRID-CONNECTED (witch means rails/filobus), forbidding private transportation, just some inter-modal hubs for those who came from outside and working vehicles only (emergency services, plumbers, builders etc);

- outside probably the cheapest and most effective option for private transport for both individuals and whole society will be via flying cars to cut distance effects and roads needs (with their regular hyper-expensive upkeep). A substantial revolution we already see possible but still too costly for too many [1]

witch means in turn: ~90% or so of the people unable to travel autonomously anymore for mere practical economical reasons, concentrated in "developed-Asian-like" urban settlements and a wealthy 10% living a good life in large Rivieras... I really do not see, given the input, different possible outcomes for an all-EVs scenario and I'm curios how someone can prove the contrary.

I still not have an EV simply because for my use case and their price they are too costly compared to classic diesel cars, but I do have a small p.v. with lithium storage: after an year of VERY LITTLE usage (minimum SOC if grid is operational 90% only if tomorrow meteo is good enough) I've already lost 1% of the total battery capacity, EVs since they get far more stress (accelerations AND sudden deceleration witch led to high ripple on battery side) will offer less endurance (mildly confirmed by some neighbors with moderately new Teslas and a Renault Zoe). Surely IF we will not being able to source diesel/petrol there are no other options, but that's a different story with a far larger impacts since from oil we get much more than fuels AND anything we get from oil&gas, from sweeteners/flavours to lubricants and plastics and fertilizers will be far more expensive if oil/gas is used only for them and so all that use them will be far more expensive as well... Not very optimist, so to speak...

My tech-centric metro area had price increases of over 30% in the past two years so a 10% correction just puts us back to prices 6 months ago.
> Note that this has been around since 1980:

The strong efficient market hypothesis combined with completely rational (no-noise) market participants leads to a "no-trade theorem." If anyone tried to buy or sell a security based on new information, other market participants would incorporate that attempt into their information about the market. The notional price would change (bid/ask), but the security wouldn't trade hands.

This is of course absurd in practice because securities do in fact trade, but it tells us that we don't need random retail investors picking stocks with coin flips (or asset managers doing so and charging 2%/yr for the privilege) in order to discover fair prices.
That makes no sense at all. What you're saying is it's possible to hire people who can see the future. Index tracking works because the market as a whole generally trends upwards if you wait long enough. This would be expected as the world generally gets richer and technology generally improves. The problem is you can't predict which exact company is going to do the improving. So just buy a very wide spread of companies and take the average. 80% of active managers fail to beat the market because they cannot see the future. The other 20% are lucky (today). If you want a lesson in the dangers of active management, look up Neil Woodford.
Similarly, I wish that on x86, REP STOSB was the fastest way to copy memory. Because it only takes a few bytes in the icache. But fast memcpys end up being hundreds of bytes, to work with larger words while handling start and end alignment.

Is there not resource contention when multiple consumer (groups) are reading from the same Kafka partition? You can of course over-provision your partitions to better allow for this, but rebalancing is not cheap and also tends to affect consumers.

I may be describing the problem incorrectly, but I know vendors we talked to were aware of this issue and had workarounds; IIRC Aiven had tooling to easily spin up a temporary new "mirror" cluster for the new consumer to catch up.
The idea of HOAs having any kind of say feels so undemocratic, but not in a standard way. We should not tolerate purely popular democracies. We allow representative democracies, and part of that public contract is for our leaders to represent all those in their constituency, not just those who voted for them.

That means those in the minority. The crazy guy growing gourds instead of a lawn. The loon with the purple house. The impoverished who can’t paint their house every other year. Those kinds of folk need representation the most.
On amazon in the US you can get either a 12,000 btu through-the-wall AC unit for about $700 or a 12,000 btu wall ductless mini-split(heat pump, so AC and heat) for about $850. For either of those you can find models for cheaper or more expensive. I just chose general middle of the road prices. So the cost is no longer 5x, the prices are becoming a lot more comparable for heat pumps vs regular ac units. Also, if you check out the efficiency ratings, for most mini-splits these days, you'll make up the cost difference in your electrical bill vs a run of the mill AC unit in the medium to long run.
I've never heard of anything like that. Outside of HOAs, most regulations we see about the front are length of grass, what can and can't be done at the easement, public health issues, and maybe laws about invasive plant species. My wife used to work at a company that codified these laws, and she didn't know of anything either.
Not a fan of shopping carts in general. But what I really can't stand is when I go to a store and they have more large carts than could ever possibly fit in the store at once, yet very few of the small carts, and usually no baskets. I imagine this is to entice you to use a large cart -> buy more shit.
Wow, the level of Stockholm syndrome the author must have to think that shipping 79 pounds of equipment is somehow a reasonable way to deal with self-repair instead of just making the damn phones repairable with the tools everybody already has!

I'm embarrassed for the author. Someday, he'll be embarrassed by this video too.
yeah. The Nissan Leaf has a notoriously bad battery management system and pretty much no other car is as bad.
Show HN: Tamagui – An optimizing compiler for better React Native and Web UI
Trying submitting again. Previously shown here[0], Tamagui is now in beta.

Tamagui is the first UI kit for React that has an optimizing compiler - one that not only extracts styles at build-time, but even evaluates inline styles and inline logic like ternaries / conditional spreads. It also flattens components (even those logic-containing ones) completely down to a div or View on Native when possible.

All of this leads to amazing performance gains[1], especially on the web and low-end mobile devices.

I think Tamagui is also really special outside of just the performance. It has an incredibly powerful theme system which you can truly change every aspect of every component through, it supports a `size` prop on every component that just works, and it has incredible first-class animation support.

The Law of Reversed Effort
Anyone know what the best way to arrange high intensity tutoring for your kid is? Are there any services out there that are good? I don’t mind paying but I don’t really have the background to organize it
The US has been an oligarchy for a good bit now. Politicians have shifted from discussing how to make our country better and replaced it with why you should hate their political opponents (both sides - ever wonder why it seems like neither political party has a message aside from “at least I’m not the other guy”?). Democracy ends in oligarchy.

It’s not like this is new. John Bagot Glubb talks about this in “The Fate of Empires and Search for Survival”. Our ruling class is showing the same patterns of those ruling an empire at the end of its days. Squabbling over the riches earned by those who came before with no regard for their people or the future.
Oh I can totally imagine use-cases too, but I’d love to hear what the OP’s use case actually is. I also agree completely on the disruption that Jupyter brings, and that it has just massive benefits. But when a workflow isn’t giving you everything you want, it’s worth evaluating whether the tools you’re using are the right tools for the job, right?

One example would be that Jupyter is well designed for a lot of prototyping and for single-person scenarios. It’s well designed for sharing and for including notes and narrative with code. It’s just not really designed for multi-user workflows. That’s not a negative in my book, it’s just a fact that makes me reach for a different tool when I need to collaborate.

Also don’t overlook Spyder, which is part of the same ecosystem as Jupyter, they’re usually bundled together, and Spyder gives you the interactive features you want but might better support a production workflow that is multi-user, collaborative, and also more easily diffable.

All that said, it might be awesome if someone builds a Jupyter diff tool that is designed to ignore the output cells!
This is great. If I had my own company I would do basically the same:

1. have a look at the candidate's github / stack overflow profile. If you like what you see, invite him/her for an interview;
2. have a couple of pair programming sessions as you described, with different team members (and don't let team members influence each other during the hiring decision);
3. invite the candidate for lunch and see how he/she treats others (basically an asshole test)
FYI, the timestamps in the article are about 2 minutes earlier than the actual track, so this would be somewhere around 29 minutes
Surely speculation about the rise in interest rates has been taken into account by the market, though? If I expected stocks to decrease _drastically_ in the future as the fed increases rates, I would just sell right now, maybe even hold a short position. I feel that real interest rates do effect the market, but the expected future interest rates must also be a part of the "where do I put my money right now" formula.
I know lol. I wanted to keep the images high-res so you can zoom in and see what's going on. GitHub hasn't bothered me (yet...)
I know in Florida because of orange canker if one orange tree has it basically all orange trees within a 1-mile radius have to be destroyed. This is state law because of the orange produce farms lobbying.

It’s almost unheard of to see suburban or wild orange trees in south Florida anymore.
If you want “pro mode” for the iPhone camera, you probably just want to install Halide. It has a lot more controls than the default camera app. It is appropriate that the default camera app is aimed at simplicity while leaving room for more advanced third-parties.
Thanks to the repo, I've just discovered Mostawesomeprogramminglanguage.
If you’re writing optimized code, hardly ever would you evaluate one CRC check at a time. You would process them in chunks, as the OP stated, but would just let a compiler do the auto-vectorization.

This is even more true in the case of CRC, where there’s clearly almost always one branch that wins: this is perfect for branch prediction, which would mean the whole “if eq” condition is preemptively skipped.
That is actually true. If your driving style involves you feeling those seat belts or situations in which you think you might crash, the your driving style is too dangerous. Once in a few years close call? ok. Regularly feeling like you need seatbelts? You should not be driving and should take safety focused additional lessons.

I hope you noticed the news about Gazprom possibly intentionally keeping gas reserves in Germany low for months before the Russian invasion in preparation of said invasion. You can't make a strategic stockpile if your potential enemy is your supplier and preventively doesn't allow you make those stockpiles in the first place so that you didn't have this way out.

40% of bitcoin mining energy used is with the Texas grid
"Data from the state’s grid operator, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, or ERCOT, affirms its growing mining presence.
