A reduction of desire is exactly the dulling of the soul we mean. This guy is losing motivation to find a better partner and you show statistics which support that very idea?? Porn does not satisfy, as you can tell by the OP's discontent in life. It dulls like anethesia.

I can't provide satisfactory evidence, nobody can. The internal state of somebody's soul is not measurable and has to be estimated from context.

I think people need to start thinking about owning two phones now. One for Personal use. And one for government / business related use that you would have turned off most of the time to avoid tracking.

With the increasing push to have government apps installed (for example ArriveCan) and the new bill where they want to search your phone at the border.
You don't know how soon making fun of Trudeau on social media, or questioning covid rules will become a crime.
Tangential to the suggestion of taxing endowments, I like Michael Sandel's idea of turning admissions into a lottery once a threshold is met. E.g. anyone with a GPA above x and a SAT score above y with a personal essay judged to meet quality level z (simplifying for illustration) is told that they have passed the acceptance threshold and are entered into the random lottery. The threshold should be set so that students who are prepared enough to succeed in the school are entered into the lottery and those who are not sufficiently prepared are not entered.

Then the freshman class is simply selected by choosing the number of available spots by random from those who have passed the threshold and entered the lottery.

It seems this would take a lot of pressure off high school students since meeting this threshold would be a well-defined goal. Once they've met it, they can start investing their time, energy, and resources into other pursuits like passion projects or time with friends, which would be a boon to mental health.

And the admissions process is essentially random anyway for the elite colleges, assuming you have sufficiently high scores. Making it explicitly random would take some (perhaps undeserved) prestige, status, and exclusivity away from the degrees from these schools -- not that the schools aren't good, or that it isn't hard to get in, but that there are many more who are just as well qualified that do not as there are who do; a fact that would be more well-recognized in society if the lottery approach were adopted. Of course, the elite schools don't want their status (and therefore degree value) tarnished so we're unlikely to see this happen of their own accord.
Must've been a trip for the Haaretz staff writing that puff piece given the antisemitic stuff in the Potter movies: https://www.google.com/search?q=harry+potter+bankers

From the book: "about a head shorter than Harry [...] swarthy, clever face, a pointed beard [...] very long fingers and feet”, indeed.

I lol'd at the "Jewish culture" tag.
I don't think there is any proof that the elite connections make any difference on average.

The Dale and Krueger study in fact found evidence that there was no statistical difference in lifetime income for ivy league grads vs less elite schools when controlling for factors like sat scores. In fact, they compared people who were accepted but did not go to an ivy league vs those who did go.

Other subsequent studies by others have seemed to bear that out as well.

So I don't even think that too much can be made of the connections one might make at elite universities.
Maybe you've done this already, but here's an idea. A factory consists of units that follow simple, or not so simple, instructions. For example, a truck unit does the truck thing: once let into the wild, it starts transporting stuff from A to B. You don't neef to direct it manually, you only give it a direction and keeps doing that forever. Some units are programmable: you can change their instructions, and they'll follow them. You can make units of hostile nature: trucks that steal stuff, builders that are reprogrammed to disassemble your neighbor's factory, units that are tasked with destroying hostile trucks amd so on. The goal is to get intetesting emergent behavior. Instructions are executed one step at a time, at fixed pace, so a poorly programmed unit would appear stuck. To simplify the ramp up for beginners, there are a few pre-fab factories with a stable crew of units.

What makes processing searches so expensive? I see elsewhere in this forum that it’s $1/80 searches. I’m just curious what part of your infra is costing you so much.
> "Isn't it obvious that the output type should be float?"

To you that might be obvious. The compiler can't infer what your intentions were from your code.

> "So why not just cast the int to a float and multiply them and output a float, like other languages do?"

What if the result is being stored in an integer type, how should this be handled? In order to compile the code in the ways your post specifies the compiler has to make many assumptions. Choosing to minimise the amount of assumptions made by the compiler about types is part of 'strong typing'. Being a systems programming language, it needs to be concerned with the underlying representation of the data. What if the result variable only has 8-bits, and can't reasonably represent a floating point type at all?

I do lots of coding in Ada, which has a strong type system. It allows you to specify arbitrary ranged numeric types. This allows you to better semantically describe your problem domain. You could have a specific numeric type representing the number of slices in a pizza (an integer), and one specifying the number of kilometres between two points on a map (a float). Multiplying one by the other might not make sense in your problem domain. The compiler would prevent you making what it assumes would be an erroneous calculation.
Yes there is a lot of work to be done. Dictionary is taken from WordNet project as is https://wordnet.princeton.edu/

> This can probably be chalked up to youre-doing-it-wrong (sorry)

I think you're absolutely right. I freely admit that I knew NOTHING about K8s before embarking on this project (and still pretty much know nothing about it now), and I was able to cobble together something that 'worked', but that doesn't mean it was right.

And as another commenter points out, "a huge asterisk there if the tool makes it very easy to 'do it wrong'". I would rather be very clearly told that I've got it wrong and be prevented from progressing further vs. making something that superficially seems right then crashes and burns in prod.

I'm sure there are folks that can wield Kubernetes with great effectiveness, and good on them, but I found it to be supremely frustrating and the wrong tool for the right job. Not that I have a better solution, so I'm admittedly just kind of complaining.
I'm confused by people thinking it's a bad job market. Statistically, US unemployment is very low right now... back to pre-pandemic levels. From the Bureau of Labor Statistics report on April 2022 [1]:

"Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 428,000 in April, and the unemployment rate was
unchanged at 3.6 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Job growth was
widespread, led by gains in leisure and hospitality, in manufacturing, and in transportation and
warehousing."

3.6 percent is basically full employment; it doesn't go much lower than that. Employers are having a hard time filling jobs. Wages are going up. Again from the BLS report:

"Over the past 12 months, average hourly earnings have increased by 5.5
percent."

1. I disagree nothing, I use catch-all and never had awkward conversations like the author had. Who cares, it's an email. I repeat it twice.

2. Government has transparency laws, they didn't sell his email used to support "bernie" rather due to voting laws and donation laws, that information is public and is posted and given away for free that is why you should err to use your email address to communicate with federal or state bodies because they are required to follow state laws for transparency and federal laws.

Forging or creating an actual account/alias to then "send" from if the email doesn't exist is a trivial process, you can even do it from a shell even in Microsoft Exchange and PostFix.
An average house in Silicon Valley is like in the millions. If Tesla pays me $200k/year, it'll take a long time to pay off. Compare that where I live (nice house is $150k and I make over six figures). My buying power seems much higher where I'm at. Am I missing something obvious?
50B is a crazy large endowment. Especially when you realize the top 10 engineering schools that are public universities have literally 1/10th or less the endowment.

Some of these public universities are higher ranked than Harvard for STEM degrees.

I have to assume additional funds has diminishing impact to university success. Similar to business, where over-capitalization does not ensure success where-as under-capitalization can be a root cause of failure.
... and in fact: www.epfl.ch (my undergraduate)

"The QS World University Rankings ranks EPFL 14th in the world across all fields in their 2020/2021 ranking" (from wikipedia)

It is indeed ~free ($1600/year) for Swiss residents at least, and gets most of its funding from the Swiss government.

I would take issue with the "overnight" bit though - the ranking above was not its ranking 30 years ago when I was there (and the EPFL took its current form in 1969). It also took a concerted effort to hire the right faculty, probably recruit the right graduate students, etc, etc.
I think it was originally pushed as a way to get more people to use cloud platforms. And who better than Google to host that which they created?

Luckily its from the functionally less evil google days and open source so it is possible to use anywhere.
I’ve been using Kagi for about a week and it’s been awesome! Absolutely no complaints so far...except that I still don’t know how to pronounce it.

> - How do you pronounce Kagi?

> It is Kah-gee, and it means “key” in Japanese.

Is that gee with a soft “g”, like the gee in “gee golly”? (An IPA spelling would go a long way here.)
The endowments would run out instantly. And you would destroy great research institutions. Some people just enjoy destruction
Been using Kagi too. Search results are pretty decent, and sometimes better. Problem is that I need Google almost exclusively for shopping and price comparison. Wonder if there's any other websites that can replicate this (non-US).

This is what these discussions always miss. Harvard isn't conferring value, its recognizing it. It's not a value add, its a filter.

People think you can create value by creating more elite universities, but it's exactly the opposite. All you're going to do is destroy the signal they provide. You can learn just as much at a non-elite university as an elite one.

Attending an elite university just means you were in the top x% of your age cohort. By definition, the top x% is not a group who's membership you can expand.
Rust just takes "explicit is better than implicit" further than most. No hidden type casts.

Floating point operations aren't quite the same as integer operations. Float operations aren't commutative, for one. So it's nice to be suae you really intended to use a float operation on an integer by requiring an explicit cast, so you can get the order correct.
Fastmail also has features similar to this. Aliases and randomized masked email. The web ui helps you send email from the masked email as well.
Yeah, I think so. I’m a bit fuzzy on the details as I haven’t been working with gRPC in a little bit now. But that seems like it would solve the problem, to me.
I don't know. Just as one example, I've seen here on HN ads for positions that explicitly mention (in not so many words) that they're only looking for grads from elite colleges. The UK just codified this into visa law.

Income is a fuzzy thing, and distinct from opportunities.

I'm always looking for empirical data to bear on a question, so the studies you're mentioning are important. But at the same time I'm sort of suspicious that something's missing from those studies based on prima facie examples I've encountered several times in my life.

Well no, but the daily forecast gives me a good enough approximation. If I know the temp in the AM when I get up and I know the forecasted high, I can get a pretty good guess of what midday temps will be. If a massive front is moving through that will lead to significant changes, well the forecast will capture that too in wind and precipitation forecasts.

As for the next 30 minutes, I have tried AccuWeather and DarkSky. Both get the timing wrong about as often as they get it right for my location.
Yeah, this is pretty silly. Following and recognizing phonetic patterns from science / fantasy fiction naming tropes isn't a "secret language."

Ask a person off the street to come up with an "alien planet in a science fiction TV series" or "deadly gas/virus from a comic book" and you'll get similar answers.

Your average person on the street could probably successfully come up with trope-fitting "evil alien species" and "peaceful alien species" names, too.
I don't know that there are good use cases, you just use what you want. For example I use Clojure and its variants for writing command lines, scripts, websites, backend services, Cron jobs, programming exercises/practice, and desktop applications.

Sometimes I use it for data analysis and visualization as well.

I use it at work and for personal stuff.

It's not that it has some awesome superior or full featured framework or feature for any one of those use cases, just that it's overall a language I like to use and which I have more fun with, and it's sufficient at everything you'd need to seriously use it for all those things. I prefer working interactively over a running program, I prefer the flexibility to extend language to my own needs with macros and higher order functions, I like the simplicity of working directly with data instead of ADTs or single use containers like Classes, I prefer structural editing for navigating and modifying source code, I prefer functional programming over OOP, I prefer immutable defaults and value semantics, and I prefer Clojure's well thought out core sequence manipulation functions.

My point is that Clojure is well rounded, there's a few things it's not good enough for, but those are rare, stuff like embedded systems, AAA games, high performance audio or video processing, raw number crunching, etc. For everything else Clojure is adequate, so it's just up to what you want to use, if you enjoy Clojure and it brings you joy, you can just use it, you don't need to find a perfect use case that it's uniquely best at.
Also, because their build system is closed source; my personal perspective is that if I cannot build your project, it is not "open source"

I have taken some inspiration from AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brave) and I think I got it to compile all the way through once, but that's not nearly the same as how easy it is to build -- and then run -- Firefox every day

This isn't super specific, but it implies phone cameras will replace everything.

But I think there are lots of dedicated cameras that will survive.

Similar to phone cameras, there are lots of fascinating dedicated lens cameras, like the nikon p1000 with a 3000mm equivalent lens, or waterproof cameras.

And interchangeable lens cameras are still interesting, especially fun mirrorless cameras like the canon M and R series.

One point to make is that camera bodies come and go, but lenses last a long long time. So maybe DSLRs will drop off, but like film bodies, the bodies will continue to evolve and the lenses will survive for decades.
Ya, framing the student loan crisis as "forgiving all student loans" is just silly. Go after the predatory loan companies and the colleges that accepted the loan money. Claw it back from colleges that have been egregiously overcharging while lying about things like the average salary of graduates from whatever program.

It would make a lot of sense for the top schools to expand like they did in other countries. Oxford and Cambridge have 12,000 undergrads each. University of Toronto has 44,000. Harvard and Princeton have about 5,000 each and Stanford has like 8,000.

The US has more top schools, perhaps, than other countries, but not as many seats, I think.

We've advanced past the point of caring about expletives. Thinking curses are gonna somehow screw people up, especially kids, is akin to thinking shooting games create school shooters. Victorian thinking is a bygone. Censorship and fragility go hand in hand. If we don't want the newer generations to be fragile, then we need to let them get with the fucking program! ;-)

I for one, love a good fuck bomb. Come to think of it, bomb is a worse word than fuck - for anyone who has been injured by one or been in combat. If we avoid all triggers, we'd be left with no words in our vocabulary. Trigger itself is a trigger word for those who've been in traumatic shooting scenarios. Sigh.
There's something even worse than the "please write to us from your original email". On a number of occasions, I've had some random people use my email address to sign-up for something and then occasionally I have to actually contact a random company to unsubscribe me and/or delete the account.

When this happens, I've had a few insane companies insist that I send them a screenshot from my gmail app/web page, etc. to "prove" it's my email address. I have steadfastly refused despite some rather angry responses insisting that I have to. I have responded very strongly and politely that I have to do no such thing as I have no business relationship with their company. Usually once I point out that they're sending someone else's private information (receipts, etc.) to a completely unrelated individual and they could be held liable they relent and delete/unsubscribe my email address.

The most insane of these was when Uber started emailing me someone's trip receipts every time they took a trip for someone in Australia. When I contacted them, they refused to believe me and said it wasn't possible. I ended up finding one of their technical VPs on LinkedIn, messaged them blindly, and "mysteriously" it resolved itself two days later with a polite apology.
an interesting idea…
Any ideas for why that email appeared in your inbox? It doesn't look like it's a phishing attack - "Updates to YouTube's Terms of Service" is a subject line that guarantees that precisely zero people will even bother opening it.
Home depot also lets you choose email receipt or paper. This time it was a case of just "what's your email so we can send you the receipt"
It has to do with stock. Many workers in startups, FAANGs, etc have a very large portion of their overall compensation come to them in the form of stock, options, RSUs, etc. So when stocks go down significantly many folks loose a lot of their overall perceived compensation. This compensation above the salary is what makes living in the bay area workable for many families.
I will say IMO (and experience) in professional math that while there is perhaps more of a chance for an outsider to have an impact, Mathematics is hardly free from bias towards insiders: it can manifest itself as subtly as using notation as a shibboleth (e.g. it’s somewhat easy to tell which community an author comes from through their notation and terminology, and equally easy to harbor resentment towards those outside your field) all the way to active “prove I’m the most clever in the room” syndrome during seminars. I’d like to think that a more collaborative atmosphere is prevailing now due to the rise of interdisciplinary and applied math, but people are people everywhere and as Sayre stated “Academic politics is the most vicious and bitter form of politics, because the stakes are so low.”
I've run into another one of these articles on HN before and both times I was very confused. After about 10-15 minutes of reading I'm still wondering whether I'm reading a tutorial or a discussion about strong typing (or whatever programming concept is being discussed)? Is this article meant to be a tutorial or is it some sort of commentary I'm missing? I'm fine with either one, it just helps me get in the right mindset if that makes sense :)
