Of course not, but anecdotal evidence contradicting empirical evidence without a convincing explanation is usually a pretty good sign.
I have always loathed this mental illness form of hustle culture.

People are starting to wake up to it though. I've seen several social media parody accounts pop up to make fun of the garyV types.
Which big US tech company is partly owned by the United States government with such powerful decision making capabilities?
Exactly. This is clearly a content host, a site, eith userhgenerated content. Pretending that it's otherwise is a vast existential risk which would greatly greatly greatly limit human expression & creativity.
"electric car trip planning" and it's on the first page of results along with other sites I bet would work just as well.

I cannot take this "reporter" serious when her "planning" was to write down a handful of stops in a paper notebook.
I agree wholeheartedly on your points regarding async, which is a topic I've tried to avoid so far in all of my Rust projects because of all the reasons you've already raised above and you really don't need it for most use-cases.
Async is final, and I think the design is fine.

The problem is that async code doesn't interact properly with the rest of the rust language. You can't make async traits, async iterators or streams, or use async closures. The problem isn't async. Its that the rest of the language is apparently (still!) incompatible with async code.

All of this stuff is "coming" - and by that I mean, there have been RFCs kicking around since 2017 aiming to fix these problems. Blergh.

Eg:

GATs: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44265 (This one might land soon!)

Async closures: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/62290 (seems to have stalled)

TAIT: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/63063 (seems to have stalled)

And so on.
I've been there longer than you and I have a different perception on what the majority of HN might think. Which means one of us is really wrong.
For a new player the absolute first thing to do is walk north from the starting city -> investigate the falling wizard -> read the scroll because What Could Possibly Go Wrong -> Jump

This question is maybe the deepest of them all. What a great project, can't wait to check these videos out.

My understanding of an answer I've heard is along these lines:

If there is truly nothing then that means there are also no bounds/limits/rules, which means there is nothing stopping everything from being. Out of nothing comes the boundless cornucopia of existence, from complete lack of constraints that is nothingness.
A paid year away from work is not minuscule. The benefits of somebody else having kids is minuscule to me.

Fewer people is our best option (it is still a terrible option, don't get me wrong) for mitigating the effects of climate change.
IIRC With the keys they can technically decrypt in line, backups are not required.
There are caveats to that statement. Semi-formal human social decisions need to be made in order for an ecosystem to agree on a set of interfaces. Some of them are part of Julia Base, which makes it easy, but some of them emerged through a lot of community work, especially in SciML (autodiff interfaces, advanced array interfaces, statistics interfaces, file and serialization IO,). This has not happened yet in the webdev side of things (Pluto, Genie, etc do not share as much) so it is difficult to compose things well there.

Edit: I removed HTTP.jl from the list as it is a lower-level library with a different set of constraints to interoperability.

Mobile app Damini Lightening Alert seeks to prevent lightening deaths in India [pdf]
That assumes the plants get it directly from the air. Legumes do (hence the invention of crop rotation), but most plants get it from fertilisers, the manufacturers of which get it from the air and can scale up independently of the farms. The manufacturing process currently uses methane… but only because that’s historically been the cheapest source of hydrogen.
The meta-lesson here is that considering certain truths to be "absolute" is harmful.

The greatest asset you can have as a programmer is flexibility. Understand the tradeoffs (e.g. tech debt vs over-engineering, thorough testing vs shipping quickly) and navigate them intelligently, rather than dogmatically pushing everything to one side of the tradeoff.
You can just publish encrypted text as a GitHub gist (or use any other large public site where you can't modify the timestamps), and then release the decryption keys later.

Or only publish a hash that used some collision-resistant function (future proof), and then publish the text that matches the hash later. For this, you can just tweet it, or write it into a HN comment.

Now seriously, maybe we have and they just weren't interested.
You do realize that he has actually significantly changed the landscape for global warming right? He has lifted off electric vehicle market, changed energy storage, increased global interest in space exploration.

You have to balance his incredibly strong capital manner with the fact that he also is changing our human trajectory. He's tiresome, gets into petty arguments with people but he's also changing our trajectory more than almost all other humans on the planet right now - for better or worse.

Whether his heavy lifts stands the test of time and significantly alter our trajectory is truly the question here. This Twitter buy doesn't really matter in the arc of this century unless it is merely a reflection point which Musk fades to irrelevance.

People will jump through hoops to defend him because he's doing work that no one else is capable of doing.
She wrote down a handful of stops in a paper notebook. I cannot take someone like that seriously. In life you have to roll with the punches and adapt, even more so when using new technology. To rely on a static list and then act surprised that you needed to use an app as weather conditions change is disingenuous.

> you can’t tell the future

This is so true. It's tricky because some things are worth thinking ahead a little - but on average, I've learned that it's far better to focus on making things easy to change than make them directly accommodate future requirements but (often at the cost of immense complexity)... If the code is so small and simple that you can easily re-write it, then it is future proof and easy to understand and maintain, win win.

It's easy enough to understand this abstractly, but takes practice to know when to plan ahead and when not to - but a good oversimplification is that: if you know it's a future requirement, it's worth thinking about, maybe even worth making a space in your architecture/api/data whatever; If it's an unknown, just don't bother, try to keep the code simple instead so that you can adapt.

Do we have to swing the pendulum so far in the opposite direction to be calling it, in all cases, a mental illness?

You sound like the same people that want to make encryption illegal: politically naive and maliciously, selectively ignorant.
It's built on HTTP.jl, so it reuses all of that code and is just a higher level interface to a basic HTTP server. Genie.jl and complete web frameworks are a completely different beast with different use cases and I agree they should be kept separate.

This applies to basically any other activity, from drug dealing to covert arms trading to assassinations. Malware is probably the least shocking imo
There is another aspect of metaphysics in the Elder Scrolls games that I find incredibly interesting, and that is the propensity for TES engine games to be buggy and susceptible to game- and narrative-breaking exploits. Things like item-dupes and locked-door-phasing and crafting potions while quaffing potion-making-buff potions in ever increasing sequences to create massively overpowered potions that make you a literal god capable of nuking an entire dungeon in a single spell.

To me, when you start discussing "what is the gameworld like for the NPCs", this gameworld that already includes a concept of magic as de rigueur, these sorts of exploits become the "real" magic, the actually mystical arts that are surprising and terrifying to the denizens of the game.

I don't usually have the patience to perform most of the exploits myself, but they definitely make for some very entertaining YouTube videos.

No need to question anyone’s sincerity.

The reality is the emails were hacked and released in order to damage the Clinton campaign by a foreign power that wanted her to lose (or win but severely weakened). This is much more serious than some unseemly infighting within the DNC. Nothing in the Clinton emails was a crime, right?
We're getting complaints because most of the comments (and upvotes) in this thread are not organic—that is, they're by users who are trying to boost or promote your post rather than by users who simply ran across this and found it interesting. That's against HN's rules—it's in fact the only rule which is in both the site guidelines and the FAQ:

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html

It would be good to call off your friends/fans/teammates because HN readers have a nose for such comments and consider them astroturfing or spam. The community is pretty adamant about only wanting organic discussion here, and voting rings are particularly not allowed.

That's not self-evidently bad, long term.

What we do know is what we used to have, the population pyramid, definitely won't work going forward, long term.
Sadly, today, I don't think an email leak itself is embarassing. It's more like "yup, email is weak, and we don't think about its security at all, so this is normal". Today, the only thing embarrassing is for the person whose job it is to leak specific emails didn't do the leaking.

> Under this paradigm, if one of the contributing factors in an incident was the user pushing “A” instead of “B”, we ask “how did the operator’s g function score a higher value for pushing A over B”? There’s no concept of “error” in this model. Instead, we can explore the individual’s context and history to get a better understanding of how their g function valued A over B. We accomplish this by talking to them.

To me, the interesting thing about this model is that the "g function" is almost entirely unconscious. The conscious mind is like the tip of the iceberg, with the vast bulk of processing happening out-of-sight in the unconscious mind. Most of the time "human error" is actually a deliberate act on the part of the unconscious mind which is following a kind of program to achieve some goal or benefit. Sometimes people really do just plain make mistakes, usually due to fatigue or hunger or bad lighting or whatever. But most behaviour is deliberate, even when we don't know it. In fact, the conscious experience of making decisions is an illusion: brain scans show that your brain makes a decision and then a few milliseconds later "you" have the experience of "making" it. In other words, your "free will" is an illusion. (Although that doesn't rule out the possibility that your whole system, conscious and unconscious together, has free will!)

There are two wrinkles: 1) the illusion of "free will" and "human error" is an extraordinarily deep component of almost all human societies (basically only a few Buddhist ashrams might be excluded, on good days.) And 2) the unconscious mind is not isolated in each human being, it's a "distributed OS" in computer terms, or in Jungian terms the unconscious mind is "collective". (There's nothing "woo-woo" about this. It's not telepathy, just high-bandwidth communication. E.g. take a video of folks in a cafe or something and slow it down or speed it up, it's pretty easy to see (at different time scales) the unconscious synchronization of strangers who are consciously ignoring each other. Or watch people walking together, typically their gaits will sync, even when their legs are different lengths. "Group mind" is the norm.)

Anyway, all this to say that the model described in the post can be very powerful if you really run with it, but one should be aware of where it eventually leads. Once you open the box and look inside, you take on responsibility for dealing with the results.
You have to compare apple to apple - eg Google/FB salary in Bay Area vs Google/FB salary in London. Skills of average engineer in Bay Area (due to magnet status of the area attracting best and brightest) is significantly above skills of average engineer in pretty much any other location and comp reflects it.

For Google/FB difference in comp by location is there but not as dramatic as difference in average salary for all engineers per location may suggest.

To enjoy social life in Paris, Rome, Berlin or Hamburg you need to speak local language (otherwise you just meet the same expats) which is not problem in London as everyone speaks English.
I am not pro musk or Anti Musk ( or in this case I am much more on musk's side ), but I do agree with parents that generally speaking majority of HN ( at least those who comment ) is anti Musk, and left leaning, especially in the past few years.

And HN used to be called a platform for Alt-Right in its early days.
I'm sorry, but this seems to me like you are advocating a point. of: "The peasants don't know what is good for them, the party will decide for them."

This would have been fine the DNC came out and said that this is what they are doing.
But the DNC has explicitly stated that is unbiased in action (in the [0] of my earlier post) and then they go and do the opposite. This is just plain corruption.

Wouldn't matter if there were major US cities underwater, hot areas freezing, cold areas overheating, even if there was not only 100% indisputable proof but 100% inconvenience and 100% cost increase.

The past two years of dealing with a pandemic shows you exactly what will be done. Nothing. Millions will suffer from it and it will all be written off, spun politically and turned into another part of the rat race for people to literally walk over other people to get whatever they want at that moment.

The well off will just move up higher in their apartment buildings and turn up the A/C higher, while looking down at the masses made to fight among themselves for less and less resources.
I came here to express disappointment that Unleash the Archers wasn't included here. They definitely express nerdy themes, especially in the last two albums, and they rank pretty high on the kickassery scale in my opinion as well!
Despite many knocking it here, I think there's at least one significant aspect of the clubhouse/twitter spaces/etc. model of audio chat: the much stronger feeling of connection that people get from being able to literally speak to the big personalities in whatever their area of interest is.

we can debate whether that's good or bad, scalable, a feature or a product. But I think it's undeniable that the emotional dopamine hit people get from that are a lot higher than getting any kind of async response, especially text. It makes it feel much more real. Even if you don't interact at all and just listen, it feels like you're an insider, you've made it into the club, and you could speak up. Like you practically know <insert names>, you were on a call with them earlier today!

That kind of interaction I think we might see a lot more of as a feature for e.g. streaming platforms. People crave it.

Of course someone will misappropriate it and use it as the core of some terribly thought out data handling app with billions of items, but at least anyone with a clue will be able to figure out why it’s terrible later.

What evidence?
What? I've seen loads of commenters defending their EV's ability to do huge long road trips.
One thing that always struck me about humanlike intelligence on Earth is how quickly it came about.

The dinosaurs had 180 million years or so to get it right, and we find no evidence of so much as a simple tool. Were they no smarter that crows? All that time?

And Homo has been around, what, 2 million years? In just 2 million years we've gone from basically zero tech to outer-freakin-space.

Arguably, we've gone from nothing to outer-freakin-space in the last 6000 years, starting around the Bronze Age. That's astoundingly quick given how long life has existed on Earth.

So it seems like as the dice were being thrown around we were just waiting for that magic run of all sixes that enabled us to, in the blink of an eye, become spacefaring.

What was it? (Opposable thumbs? Language? War? Big brains? Etc?) And how likely are these things to happen in a magical combination? It took its sweet time here. Did we get lucky it only took 4 billion years? Or unlucky it took that long at all?

But it never happened to the hapless dinos. Which is too bad, because space dinosaurs would be _awesome_.

US is actually helping Ukraine. They are actually sending arms there and enough to make the difference. Its interactions with Ukraine last 31 were way more friendly then Russian interactions in any case.

> US is just coercing others into its foreign policy campaign against Russia under the guise of "punishment".

Nah, there is a lot of push coming from Estonia, Poland, Ukraine itself, Latvia, Czech Republic and so on. This is not even close to US throwing weight in it, no matter how much you wish to twist events that way.

> The aggressor which most needs weakening is the one that's able to hijack SWIFT and dictate to third parties whom they can trade with.

No, it is the one implementing filtering camps, comitting genocide, burning Ukrainian books ...
How long would they have to last though? We don't just have to both be advanced but also overlap in time. When you consider there are hundred million+ years between advanced life forms and intelligent life, and even millions of years between humans and intelligent humans, any signals of any kind may have to last for millions of years or more to be detected.

Then there's so much space, so it probably takes more than one. Perhaps a million+ more than one.

Then the final but to me most important thing, is we often assume advanced life looks like us. I personally believe it generally does -- for a bit. But if we're just a stepping stone to AI and then (perhaps) we disappear, advanced life forms like us only exist for a blip anyways. We probably don't even know what to look for. The possibilities are fascinating and humbling.

I am less inclined to give any slack to those WSJ "journalists" writing about EVs in a widely read publication than I would a random person.

Not doing the most basic effort of finding out about ABRP when writing about long trip in an EV while claiming they did extensive planning and research is bullshit.

I'm very inclined to think that they knew very well about ABRP but needed a good story so decided not to use it and look for troubles instead.
